Theyarn splicing device 14 includes adust collector 26 that temporarily accommodates yarn waste generated in theyarn splicing device 14. To allow the yarn waste accommodated in thedust collector 26 to be sucked and collected, thedust collector 26 includes a yarn waste collecting pipe 27 (suction portion, second dust collecting portion). Abase end 27b of the yarn waste collecting pipe 27 is connected to a suction control unit 30 (suction control section) described below. - The
yarn clearer 15 detects a thickness defect in theyarn 4. An appropriate sensor detects the thickness of theyarn 4 passing though a detection section of theyarn clearer 15. A signal from the sensor is analyzed by ananalyzer 23. Thus, a yarn defect such as slub is detected. Theyarn clearer 15 includes acutter 16 with which theyarn 4 is immediately cut when a yarn defect is detected in theyarn 4. - A lower yarn sucking, catching, and guiding
portion 17 for sucking, catching, and guiding thelower yarn 4L on theyarn supplying bobbin 3 side to theyarn splicing device 14 is provided below theyarn splicing device 14. An upper yarn sucking, catching, and guiding portion 20 (suction portion) for sucking, catching, and guiding theupper yarn 4U on thepackage 7 side to theyarn splicing device 14 is provided above theyarn splicing device 14. The upper yarn sucking, catching, guidingportion 20 is composed of asuction mouth 20a configured to be pivotally movable around ashaft 21, and acoupling pipe 20b that couples thesuction mouth 20a to thesuction control unit 30 described below. Abase end 20c of the upper yarn sucking, catching, guidingportion 20 is connected to thesuction control unit 30.

The lower yarn sucking, catching, guidingportion 17 is composed of arelay pipe 17a configured to be pivotally movable around ashaft 18, and a coupling pipe (not shown in the drawings) that couples therelay pipe 17a to ablower duct 60. - The waxing
device 24 applies appropriate wax to the travelingyarn 4. - The cleaning
pipe 25 sucks and removes foreign matter attached to the travelingyarn 4. A base end 25b of the cleaningpipe 25 is connected to thesuction control unit 30. Asuction port 25a is formed at the tip of the cleaningpipe 25. Thesuction port 25a of the cleaningpipe 25 is located in proximity to theyarn 4 traveling between the waxingdevice 24 and thetraverse drum 5. - As described above, in the present embodiment, the yarn winding unit 2 has a plurality of suction portion for sucking at least one of the
yarn 4 and foreign matter. Specifically, the yarn winding unit 2 includes, as the suction portion, (i) thecleaning pipe 25, which sucks the foreign matter attached to the travelingyarn 4, (ii) the yarn waste collecting pipe 27, which sucks the yarn waste generated in theyarn splicing device 14, and (iii) the upper yarn sucking, catching, and guiding portion 20 (suction portion), which sucks, catches, and guides theupper yarn 4U to theyarn splicing device 14. The base end 25b of the cleaningpipe 25, thebase end 27b of the yarn waste collecting pipe 27, and thebase end 20c of the upper yarn sucking, catching, and guiding portion 20 (suction portion) are all connected to thesuction control unit 30. - The
blower duct 60 is coupled to a negative pressure generating device 61 (not shown in the drawings). Anegative pressure source 62 that generates negative pressure is composed of theblower duct 60 and the negativepressure generating device 61. Theblower duct 60 extends along the direction in which the yarn winding units 2 are arranged in a line. Thesuction control unit 30, provided in each of the yarn winding units 2, is connected to theblower duct 60 via ablower pipe 70. - The automatic winder 1 is composed of the plurality of yarn winding units 2, arranged in a line, and the
negative pressure source 62, shared by the yarn winding units 2. - In the above-described configuration, each of the yarn winding units 2 includes the
suction control unit 30. The base ends 25b, 27b, 20c of the plurality ofsuction portion negative pressure source 62 via thesuction control unit 30. The base ends 25b, 27b, 20c are connected to thesuction control unit 30. Thesuction control unit 30 and thenegative pressure source 62 are connected together via theblower pipe 70. The configuration of thesuction control unit 30 will be described below in detail with reference toFigures 2 to 4 .Figure 2 is an exploded view of the suction control unit according to the embodiment of the present invention.Figure 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3-3 inFigure 2 .Figure 4 is an end view taken along line 4-4 inFigure 3 . - As shown in
Figure 2 , thesuction control unit 30 is composed of a firstflat plate portion 31 fixed to a frame (not shown in the drawings) of the yarn winding unit 2, a secondflat plate portion 32 located opposite the firstflat plate portion 31, a shutter 33 (shield plate) interposed between the firstflat plate portions 31 and the secondflat plate portion 32, and ashutter driving mechanism 34 serving as a driving source that pivotally moves theshutter 33. - The second
flat plate portion 32 includes (i) acleaning hole 32a to which the base end 25b of the cleaningpipe 25 is connected, (ii) ayarn waste hole 32b to which thebase end 27b of the yarn waste collecting pipe 27 is connected, and (iii) asuction hole 32c to which thebase end 20c of thecoupling pipe 20b is connected. On the other hand, ablower hole 31c to which theblower pipe 70 is connected is formed in the firstflat plate portion 31. - When the second
flat plate portion 32 is fixedly fastened to the firstflat plate portion 31, the center of theblower hole 31c aligns substantially with the center of thesuction hole 32c. - The
shutter 33 is integrally formed substantially like a fan as shown inFigure 3 . Between the firstflat plate portion 31 and the secondflat plate portion 32, theshutter 33 is pivotally movable around apivotal shaft 33a so as to close and occlude or open each of the base ends 25b, 27b, 20c. - The
shutter driving mechanism 34 is composed of a steppingmotor 35 provided on the firstflat plate portion 31, apulley 36 fixed to thepivotal shaft 33a of theshutter 33, and aflat belt 37 wound around an output shaft of the steppingmotor 35 and thepulley 36. An output from the steppingmotor 35 is transmitted to theshutter 33 via theflat belt 37 and thepulley 36. - A
seal member 38 is interposed between the firstflat plate portion 31 and the secondflat plate portion 32 to maintain the air tightness of a space in which theshutter 33 moves pivotally. - As shown in
Figure 4 , thecleaning hole 32a, theyarn waste hole 32b, thesuction hole 32c, theblower hole 31c, to which theblower pipe 70 is connected, communicate with one another (are joined together) via a junction space G formed between the firstflat plate portion 31 and the secondflat plate portion 32 as the space in which theshutter 33 moves pivotally. A thick arrow inFigure 4 generally denotes the direction of the flow of air generated by the suction by thenegative pressure source 62. - Next, the arrangement aspect of the
cleaning hole 32a, theyarn waste hole 32b, and thesuction hole 32c, and the shape of theshutter 33 will be described in detail with reference toFigure 3 . InFigure 3 , the contours of thecleaning hole 32a and theyarn waste hole 32b are generally shown by an alternate long and two short dashes line. The contour of thesuction hole 32c is omitted because the contour of thesuction hole 32c overlaps the contour of theblower hole 31c. As shown inFigure 3 , thecleaning hole 32a, theyarn waste hole 32b, thesuction hole 32c are displaced in this order in a pivotal movement direction of theshutter 33 denoted by reference character S. Specifically, when thepivotal shaft 33a of theshutter 33 is assumed to be the center, theyarn waste hole 32b is provided clockwise side away from thesuction hole 32c. Thecleaning hole 32a is provided clockwise side away from theyarn waste hole 32b. Thesuction control unit 30 can selectively control the suction by thesuction portion shutter 33 is positioned as shown inFigure 3 , theshutter 33 closes and occludes all of thecleaning hole 32a, theyarn waste hole 32b, and thesuction hole 32c. Theshutter 33 moves pivotally clockwise or counterclockwise to open only thecleaning hole 32a as shown inFigure 6 , to open only thecleaning hole 32a and theyarn waste hole 32b as shown inFigure 7 , or to open only thesuction hole 32c as shown inFigure 8 . - Next, control by the
unit control section 50 will be described. Theunit control section 50 shown inFigure 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The ROM of theunit control section 50 stores control software that allows the CPU and the like to function as shieldplate control section 51. Control by theunit control section 50 and the shieldplate control section 51 will be described according to the control flow shown inFigure 5 . - When the automatic winder 1 is powered on (S300), the
shutter 33 is positioned to close and occlude all of thecleaning hole 32a, theyarn waste hole 32b, and thesuction hole 32c as shown inFigure 3 . The shieldplate control section 51 transmits an appropriate instruction to the steppingmotor 35 to pivotally move theshutter 33 to open only thecleaning hole 32a as shown inFigure 6 (S310). An automatic doffing device (not shown in the drawings) places theyarn 4 from theyarn supplying bobbin 3 onto the windingtube 6, thus allowing the yarn winding unit 2 to start winding theyarn 4. During the winding, the base end 25b of the cleaningpipe 25 is prevented from being closed and occluded by the shutter 33 (see alsoFigure 4 ). Thus, foreign matter (for example, wax powder or yarn waste attached to the yarn 4) attached to the travelingyarn 4 is sucked and removed by theblower duct 60 upon passing by thesuction port 25a. - The
unit control section 50 determines whether or not yarn splicing has been requested (S320). If the yarn splicing has not been requested (S320: N), theunit control section 50 advances the processing to step S350. If the yarn splicing has been requested (S320: YES), the shieldplate control section 51 transmits an appropriate signal to the steppingmotor 35 to allow the steppingmotor 35 to pivotally move theshutter 33 counterclockwise through a large angle which shutter 33 is positioned to open only thecleaning hole 32a, thus opening only thesuction hole 32c as shown inFigure 8 (S330). Then, themouth 22 of the upper yarn sucking, catching, and guidingportion 20 is brought into a suction state. When theunit control section 50 pivotally moves the upper yarn sucking, catching, and guidingportion 20, the upper yarn sucking, catching, and guidingportion 20 sucks and catches the yarn end on the outer periphery of thepackage 7. Theunit control section 50 stands by until receiving a signal indicating that yarn splicing is completed from the yarn splicing device 14 (S340: NO). When theunit control section 50 receives the signal (S340: YES), the shieldplate control section 51 transmits an appropriate signal to the steppingmotor 35 to allow the steppingmotor 35 to bring thesuction control unit 30 into the state shown inFigure 6 again. Theunit control section 50 advances the processing to step S350. - The
unit control section 50 uses a timer circuit (not shown in the drawings) to measure elapsed time from the winding start time. If the elapsed time has not reached a predetermined value (S350: NO), the processing returns to step S310. If the elapsed time has reached the predetermined value (S350: YES), the shieldplate control section 51 transmits an appropriate signal to the steppingmotor 35 to allow the steppingmotor 35 to pivotally move theshutter 33 counterclockwise which is positioned to close and occlude theyarn waste hole 32b and thesuction hole 32c as shown inFigure 6 , so as to open theyarn waste hole 32b in addition to thecleaning hole 32a as shown inFigure 7 , an appropriate signal is sent the stepping motor 35 (S360). Thus, the yarn waste generated in theyarn splicing device 14 is sucked and collected by theblower duct 60. After the theunit control section 50 resets the timer circuit (S370), theunit control section 50 then transmits an appropriate signal to the steppingmotor 35 to allow the steppingmotor 35 to bring thesuction control unit 30 into the state shown inFigure 6 again. Theunit control section 50 returns the processing to step S310. - The automatic winder 1 includes the yarn winding unit 2, which winds the
yarn 4 unwound from theyarn supplying bobbin 3 around the windingbobbin yarn 4, to form thepackage 7, and thenegative pressure source 62, which generates negative pressure. The yarn winding unit 2 has the plurality of suction portion (25, 27, 20) for sucking at least one of theyarn 4 and foreign matter.

pipe 25, which sucks the foreign matter attached to the travelingyarn 4, the yarn waste collecting pipe 27, which sucks the yarn waste generated in theyarn splicing device 14 splicing thelower yarn 4L that is theyarn 4 on theyarn supplying bobbin 3 side and theupper yarn 4U that is theyarn 4 on thepackage 7 side, and the upper yarn sucking, catching, and guidingportion 20 for sucking, catching, and guiding theupper yarn 4U to theyarn splicing device 14. The effects of thesuction control unit 30 are significantly exerted when the yarn winding unit 2 includes the above-described portion. - The above-described embodiment may be modified such that the yarn winding unit 2 includes, as the suction portion, any two of the cleaning
pipe 25, the yarn waste collecting pipe 27, and the upper yarn sucking, catching, and guidingportion 20. In this case, the above-described effects are also significantly exerted. - The yarn winding device 2 includes the
cleaning channel 25r (see alsoFigure 2 ), formed in thecleaning pipe 25, theyarn waste channel 27r, formed in the yarn waste collecting pipe 27, and thesuction channel 20r, formed in the upper yarn sucking, catching, and guidingportion 20, and theshutter 33 is pivotally moved to selectively allow each of thesuction channels negative pressure source 62. This arrangement allows the following series of operations to be performed simply by pivotally moving the shutter 33: during a steady-state operation of the yarn winding unit 2, the foreign matter attached to the travelingyarn 4 is sucked and removed and the yarn waste generated in theyarn splicing device 14 is sucked and collected as required, and for yarn splicing, the suction is suspended and theupper yarn 4U is sucked, caught, and guided to theyarn splicing device 14. - In the above-described embodiment, the
cleaning hole 32a, theyarn waste hole 32b, and thesuction hole 32c are disposed in this order counterclockwise as shown inFigure 3 . Alternatively, thecleaning hole 32a, theyarn waste hole 32b, and thesuction hole 32c may be disposed in this order clockwise. - The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described. However, the above-described embodiment may be varied as follows.
