Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a yarn winding device, and specifically, to an operation performed by the yarn winding device to remove a yarn defect in a wound yarn.
  • a yarn produced by a spinning machine or the like is wound around a yarn supplying bobbin, which is then conveyed to a yarn winding device.
  • a yarn splicing device splices a plurality of yarn supplying bobbins conveyed to the yarn winding device, to generate a package of a predetermined length.
  • a conventionally known yarn winding device with such a yarn splicing device includes a suction arm that catches and guides a yarn winding bobbin-side yarn end to the yarn splicing device and a relay pipe that catches and guides a yarn supplying bobbin-side yarn end to the yarn splicing device.
  • the yarn splicing operation is divided into an operation performed when yarn breakage or cutting occurs and an operation performed when a new yarn supplying bobbin is supplied.
  • the yarn splicing operation is performed as follows. That is, the stopped yarn winding bobbin is reversely rotated to unwind the upper yarn. The yarn end of the upper yarn is sucked and caught by a suction mouth provided at the tip of the suction arm. The yarn end is then guided to the yarn splicing device. Furthermore, almost at the same time, the yarn end of the yarn (lower yarn) on the new yarn supplying bobbin side is blown up by an air flow. The yarn end is then sucked and caught by the tip of the relay pipe.
  • the lower yarn is unwound from the yarn supplying bobbin.
  • the relay pipe guides the yarn end of the lower yarn to the yarn splicing device.
  • the yarn splicing device splices the yarn ends of the upper and lower yarns. The yarn winding operation is then resumed.
  • the yarn winding bobbin is stopped, as described above, by a lift-up mechanism and a package brake mechanism both provided in the yarn winding device.
  • the lift-up mechanism raises a cradle to separate the yarn winding bobbin from a winding driving section.
  • the package brake mechanism stops rotation of the bobbin gripped by the cradle at the same time when the cradle is lifted by the lift-up mechanism. Thus, the rotation of the yarn winding bobbin is stopped, and the yarn winding operation is suspended.
  • an arrange winder generating one package from a plurality of packages in respective colors is disclosed in, for example, the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai) No. 2004-156186 .
  • the arrange winder is configured to manufacture a yarn winding package by continuously winding various color yarns and yarn types in a longitudinal direction of the yarns while measuring off a predetermined length of the yarn.
  • a selection device selects at least one yarn from a plurality of packages of different colors or yarn types.
  • a yarn splicing device then performs yarn splicing.
  • the yarn passes through a yarn length measuring and accumulating device that measures off the predetermined length of the yarn, while simultaneously accumulating the yarn. As a result, packages are consecutively winded.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3314621 a yarn winding method and device avoiding suspending the yarn winding operation when yarn breakage occurs is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3314621 .
  • the disclosed device accumulates the yarn unwound from the bobbin, and when yarn breakage occurs, uses the accumulated yarn to continue winding until the yarn splicing operation is completed.
  • a yarn accumulation section is provided so as to allow the yarn to be continuously wound.
  • the configuration in the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai) No. 2004-156186 is intended to generate one yarn from the plurality of packages in the respective colors and includes no arrangement for removing yarn defects.
  • a portion of the yarn which contains a yarn defect is wound into the package intact.
  • removing the yarn defect is difficult because of the configuration of the yarn splicing device.
  • the yarn winding method and device disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3314621 includes a yarn accumulation container in which the yarn is accumulated to allow the yarn winding operation to be continued even when yarn breakage occurs or a defect removing operation needs to be performed.
  • the yarn winding method and device importantly, when yarn breakage occurs or the defect removing operation needs to be performed, the defect removal or yarn splicing is efficiently performed without exhausting the accumulated yarn, in order to allow the package winding operation to be continued.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3314621 fails to specifically describe that the yarn splicing and defect removal are performed with the package winding operation continued.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a yarn winding device that can continuously wind the yarn from winding start to winding end for the package.
  • a yarn winding device winding a yarn drawn out from a yarn supplying bobbin, into a package is configured as follows. That is, the yarn winding device includes a winding section winding the yarn into the package while traversing the yarn, a yarn accumulating device allowing the yarn to be accumulated before the yarn is wound into the package, a yarn defect detecting section detecting a yarn defect, a yarn splicing device performing a yarn splicing operation, a yarn supplying section holding the yarn supplying bobbin, and a draw-out mechanism drawing out the yarn accumulated in the yarn accumulating device, to an upstream side in a yarn traveling direction.
  • the draw-out mechanism enables the yarn to be drawn out from the yarn accumulating device, allowing the yarn splicing operation to be performed. This enables a reduction in a possible loss of winding time resulting from suspension of a package winding operation. Package production efficiency can thus be improved. Furthermore, since the yarn winding operation is not suspended, the adverse effect, on traversing, of variation in winding tension that may occur at the beginning of package rotation can be minimized. This also enables a reduction in the amount of power consumed to accelerate the stopped package up to a winding speed used during the yarn winding operation. Energy can thus be saved.
  • the yarn winding device is preferably configured as follows.
  • the draw-out mechanism includes an upper yarn catching portion for catching and guiding an upper yarn that is a package-side yarn, to the yarn splicing device, a yarn accumulation driving section serving as a driving portion for the yarn accumulating device, and a control section controlling the yarn accumulation driving section.
  • control section allows the upper yarn catching portion to draw out and catch the yarn from the yarn accumulating device.
  • control section allows the yarn catching portion to catch the yarn, while driving the driving portion driven so that the yarn in the yarn accumulating device is drawn out to the upstream side in the yarn traveling direction.
  • the yarn winding device is preferably configured as follows.
  • the yarn supplying section includes a yarn supplying bobbin holding section discharging the empty yarn supplying bobbin and receiving a new yarn supplying bobbin.
  • the yarn splicing device splices a yarn end on the new yarn supplying bobbin received by the yarn supplying bobbin holding section and a yarn end on the yarn accumulating device side.
  • the yarn supplying bobbin can be replaced with new one without the need to stop the yarn winding operation.
  • the package production efficiency can thus be further improved.
  • a yarn winding device winding a yarn drawn out from a replaceable yarn supplying bobbin, into a package is configured as follows. That is, the yarn winding device includes a winding driving section driving a winding drum, a yarn accumulating device, a yarn defect detecting section, a yarn splicing device, an upper yarn catching portion, a lower yarn catching portion, and a control section.
  • the winding driving section rotates the package in contact with the winding drum.
  • the yarn accumulating device allows the yarn to be accumulated before the yarn is wound into the package.
  • the yarn defect detecting section detects a yarn defect.
  • the yarn splicing device performs a yarn splicing operation.
  • the upper yarn catching portion catches and guides an upper yarn that is the package-side yarn, to the yarn splicing device.
  • the lower yarn catching portion catches and guides a lower yarn that is the yarn supplying bobbin-side yarn, to the yarn splicing device.
  • the control section controllably cuts a portion of the yarn located on an upstream side of the detected yarn defect in a yarn winding direction, while simultaneously stopping the accumulation of the yarn by the yarn accumulating device so that the upper yarn stopped below the yarn accumulating device is caught and guided by the upper yarn catching portion, while the lower yarn caught by the lower yarn catching portion is guided to the yarn splicing device for a yarn splicing operation.
  • the yarn winding operation can be performed without the need to reverse or stop the package so as to allow the package-side yarn to be drawn out.
  • This enables a reduction in a possible loss of winding time resulting from suspension of a package winding operation.
  • Package production efficiency can thus be improved.
  • the package is prevented from being reversely rotated or stopped so as to allow the yarn splicing operation to be performed.
  • the yarn can be continuously and stably wound from winding start to winding end for the package without being drawn out from the package. This reduces the frequency at which the stopped package is re-driven up to the rotation speed used during the yarn winding operation.
  • power consumption is reduced, thus enabling energy saving.
  • the upper yarn catching portion is configured to avoid directly catching the package-side yarn. Consequently, when the package-side yarn is caught, possible degradation of package quality such as a traversing error is prevented. Additionally, even if a yarn defect is detected, the portion of the yarn which is located on the upstream side of the yarn defect portion in the yarn winding direction is drawn out and cut for the yarn splicing operation. Thus, the yarn defect can be reliably removed. Moreover, when the yarn on the yarn supplying bobbin is exhausted, the yarn accumulated on the downstream side is prevented from running short. Thus, with the yarn continuously wound into the package, the yarn end can be easily caught at a position upstream of the yarn accumulating device and spliced to the yarn from the new yarn supplying bobbin.
  • the yarn winding device is preferably configured as follows. That is, the yarn accumulating device includes an accumulation section around which the yarn is wound for accumulation, a winding portion attached to the accumulation section so as to be rotatable relative to the accumulation section, and a yarn accumulation driving section rotating the winding portion forward and backward.
  • the control section performs control such that the yarn accumulation driving section is reversely rotated or no load is imposed on the yarn accumulation driving section.
  • the yarn accumulation driving section such that a forward rotation speed of the winding portion is varied, the amount of accumulated yarn can be easily adjusted. Furthermore, controlling the reverse rotation of the winding portion allows the yarn to be drawn out to the upstream side at an appropriate draw-out amount and at an appropriate timing. As a result, the yarn splicing operation can be more precisely performed.
  • the yarn winding device is preferably configured as follows.
  • the yarn accumulating device has a casing covering at least a part of the winding portion.
  • An introduction hole is formed in the casing to introduce the yarn drawn out from the yarn supplying bobbin, into the yarn accumulating device.
  • the control section controls the yarn accumulation driving section so that the winding portion is stopped before the yarn end of the upper yarn is introduced into the introduction hole.
  • the yarn can be reliably guided into the yarn accumulating device. Furthermore, even if yarn breakage or cutting occurs, the upper yarn can be prevented from being wound around the yarn accumulating device. Additionally, the yarn end of the upper yarn can be stopped at a position where the yarn end can be easily caught. This allows the upper yarn guiding and catching portion to more reliably catch the yarn end.
  • the yarn winding device is preferably configured as follows. That is, the yarn winding device includes a yarn accumulation amount detecting portion for detecting the amount of yarn accumulated in the yarn accumulating device. Furthermore, the control section controls the yarn accumulation driving section according to the yarn accumulation amount detected by the yarn accumulation amount detecting section.
  • the rotation speed of yarn accumulation driving section is increased to allow an appropriate accumulation amount to be always ensured.
  • a yarn winding device winding a yarn drawn out from a replaceable yarn supplying bobbin, into a package is configured as follows. That is, the yarn winding device winds the yarn drawn out from the yarn supplying bobbin, into the package and includes a winding section winding the yarn into the package while traversing the yarn, a yarn accumulating device allowing the yarn to be accumulated before the yarn is wound into the package, a yarn defect detecting section detecting a yarn defect, a yarn splicing device performing a yarn splicing operation, a yarn supplying section holding the yarn supplying bobbin, a yarn accumulation driving section serving as driving section for the yarn accumulating device, a control section controlling the yarn accumulation driving section, and a yarn accumulation amount detecting portion for detecting amount of yarn accumulated in the yarn accumulating device.
  • the control section controls rotation number of a winding driving section provided in the winding section according to the yarn accumulation amount detected by the yarn accumulation amount detecting section.
  • an automatic winder characterized by comprising a plurality of the yarn winding devices is provided.
  • the fourth aspect thus provides the automatic winder that enables the yarn winding operation to be consecutively performed, thus improving package production efficiency.

Additionally, the yarn end of the upper yarn can be stopped at the position where the yarn end can be easily caught. This allows the upper yarn guide pipe 26 to more reliably catch the yarn end.
  • the winding unit 10 is configured as follows.

In a step, when a yarn defect is detected, the accumulated yarn 20 containing the yarn defect is drawn out to the upstream side in the yarn traveling direction. In a third step, the yarn 20 drawn out in the first step is guided to the splicer device 14. In a fourth step, the yarn supplying bobbin 21-side yarn is guided to the splicer device 14.

For example, when only a small amount of yarn 20 is accumulated in the accumulator 61, the rotation speed of the drum driving motor 53 is reduced to set the amount of the yarn 20 accumulated in the accumulator 61 to be larger than that of the yarn 20 drawn out from the accumulator 61. Then, the appropriate accumulation amount can always be ensured. This enables prevention of a possible situation in which all of the yarn 20 accumulated is unwound while the winding section of the yarn accumulation driving section is stopped, for example, when a yarn defect is detected and needs to be removed or when the bobbin is replaced with a new one.
  • the above-described embodiment may be additionally configured such that the rotation of the winding drum 24 is stopped when a given condition is met. For example, when the clearer 15 detects a yarn defect three consecutive times, the supplied yarn supplying bobbin 21 is determined to be defective, and the winding is thus stopped. Then, a new bobbin is supplied as a yarn supplying bobbin 21. Once a sufficient amount of yarn 20 is accumulated in the accumulator 61, the winding drum 24 is rotated to resume the winding.
  • the configuration may be modified such that when the yarn detection part 37 senses that the yarn 20 on the yarn supplying bobbin 21 is exhausted, the unit control section 50 reduces the yarn supply speed instead of stopping the supply of the yarn 20 to the accumulator 61. That is, provided that the yarn end can be caught by the upper yarn guide pipe 26 before being completely drawn into the accumulator 61, the yarn 20 can be guided to the splicer device 14 for the yarn splicing operation even though the yarn is completely stopped.
