Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a yarn winding device and an automatic winder, and in particular, to detection of a defective portion of a yarn wound into a package, as well as to a method for using a yarn winding device.
  • 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 (automatic winder).
  • a yarn winding device yarns on a plurality of yarn supplying bobbins conveyed to the yarn winding device are spliced together by a yarn splicing device to generate a package with a predetermined length.
  • a configuration has been proposed which measures the amount by which the yarn is fed in being wound into a package (the feed length of the yarn or the speed of the yarn), to calculate the length of yarn wound into the package and the length of a defective portion.
  • the yarn winding devices of this kind are disclosed in the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai) Nos. 2002-348043 and 2005-194024 .

  • the yarn winder in the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai) No. 2002-348043 includes two yarn sensors at respective measurement points. Measurement values from the two yarn sensors are evaluated via the travel time correlater. Furthermore, the yarn speed is checked.
  • the yarn winding bobbin is configured so as to be rotationally moved by the rubbing action of a driving roller.
  • a pole wheel is located on the driving roller. When poles on the pole wheel individually pass through an angle sensor, pulses are generated. The pulses are supplied to the travel time correlater in order to provide a range for correct locking for an adjustment circuit.
  • the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai) No. 2005-194024 discloses an automatic winder that winds a spun yarn while measuring the speed of the traveling spun yarn.
  • the automatic winder is configured as follows. That is, the automatic winder in the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai) No. 2005-194024 is configured to allow a package to rotate in conjunction with rotation of a traverse drum, which serves as a driving source.
  • the automatic winder includes light receiving elements arrayed at equal intervals in a yarn traveling direction to convert incident light into an electric signal. and a projecting light source that applies light to the spun yarn to project an image of the spun yarn on the light receiving elements.
  • the yarn winding device uses a change in light current occurring on the light receiving elements in connection with the number of hairiness, to determine the feed length of the spun yarn. Specifically, a signal obtained by each of the light receiving elements is subjected to waveform shaping through a bandpass filter and thus converted into a pulse train. Then, a counter is used to count the number of pulses. The yarn length of the spun yarn can then be determined based on the count value.
  • WO 2006/058582 A1 discloses a yarn winding device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the angle sensor detects the rotational movement of a winding drum (driving roller) that rotates the package (yarn winding bobbin). Then, control is performed with a signal of a value proportional to the value for rotational movement taken into account, thus improving measurement accuracy.
  • the rotation speed of the winding drum fails to equal the speed at which the yarn is wound into the package.

Consequently, even with the rotation speed of the winding drum taken into account for the measurement of the yarn speed, the improvement of the measurement accuracy is limited.
  • the configuration in the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai) No. 2002-348043 has room for improvement.

  • An accumulation guide arm 75 described below can rotate through the gap.
  • the support plate 81 is located horizontally.
  • the plurality of rod members 82 are arranged on the circumference of the top surface of the support plate 81 at equal intervals.
  • the yarn pool section 71 is configured such that the rod members 82 form a generally cylindrical shape. By being wound around an outer peripheral portion of the yarn pool section 71, the yarn 20 is accumulated on the yarn pool section 71.
  • the yarn guiding section 72 is located inside the rotating shaft casing 70.
  • an introduction hole 80 is formed at the bottom of the cylinder portion 78 (at the end of the cylinder portion 78 located opposite the yarn pool section 71). The yarn 20 drawn out from the yarn supplying bobbin 21 is guided from the introduction hole 80 to the yarn guiding section 72.
  • a rotating shaft 73 is located inside the cylinder portion 78.
  • the rotating shaft 73 is supported so as to be rotatable relative to the rotating shaft casing 70 and the yarn pool section 71.
  • a servo motor (yarn accumulation driving section) 55 is incorporated between the rotating shaft 73 and the cylinder portion 78. The servo motor 55 can rotate the rotating shaft 73 forward and backward.

  • the cylindrically formed accumulation guide arm (winding means) 75 is fixed to one end (located opposite the introduction hole 80) of the rotating shaft 73.
  • the accumulation guide arm 75 is configured so as to extend in a radial direction in such a way as to pass through the gap between the rotating shaft casing 70 (flange portion 79) and the support plate 81 while inclining slightly upward. A part of the tip portion of the accumulation guide arm 75 protrudes slightly outward from the rotating shaft casing 70.
  • the accumulation guide arm 75 is configured so as to rotate integrally with the rotating shaft 73.
  • the interior of the accumulation guide arm 75 is connected to the yarn passage 74.
  • the yarn 20 is guided from the introduction hole 80 in the yarn guiding section 72 into the rotating shaft casing 70.
  • the yarn 20 then passes through the interior of the yarn passage 74 and the accumulation guide arm 75.
  • the yarn 20 is then discharged from the tip of the accumulation guide arm 75 and guided to a side surface portion of the yarn pool section 71. Consequently, driving the servo motor 55 in a forward direction allows the accumulation guide arm 75 to rotate together with the rotating shaft 73.
  • the yarn 20 is wound around the side surface portion.
  • the servo motor 55 is brought into a neutral state (in which the servo motor 55 is freely rotatable).
  • the downstream-side yarn guide pipe 26 holding the sucked and caught downstream-side yarn rotates downward to draw out the yarn 20 to the upstream side.
  • the accumulation guide arm 75 rotates, together with the rotating shaft 73, in a direction in which the yarn 20 is drawn out.

  • Each of the plurality of rod members 82 arranged in the yarn pool section 71 is located so as to incline toward the inside of the yarn pool section 71 as the rod member 82 extends from the support plate 81-side end thereof toward the mounting plate 83-side end thereof. Since the first tension control mechanism 41 applies the constant tension to the yarn 20, the inclination of the rod member 82 allows the yarn 20 wound around the yarn pool section 71 to move naturally in such a way as to slide upward. Thus, when the yarn 20 is continuously wound by the accumulation guide arm 75, a portion of the yarn 20 which is wound around the inclining portion moves upward. Consequently, the yarn 20 is spirally aligningly accumulated on the side surface portion composed of the rod members 82.
  • the servo motor 55 is used as a yarn accumulation driving section for the accumulation guide arm 75.
  • the rotation of the accumulating guide arm 75 can be precisely controlled. This allows the accurate control of the speed and timing at which the yarn 20 is supplied to the yarn pool section 71 and of the length of the yarn 20 supplied to the yarn pool section 71. Therefore, the feed length and speed of the yarn 20 passing through the clearer 15 can be accurately controlled.

  • the first accumulation sensor 76 is located on the upper end side of the yarn pool section 71 so as to be able to detect a portion of the yarn 20 which is wound on the upper end side of the rod members 82, provided in the yarn pool section 71.
  • the first accumulation sensor 76 thus senses the maximum accumulation condition of the accumulator 61.
  • the second accumulation sensor 77 is located on the downstream side of the yarn pool section 71 so as to be able to detect a portion of the yarn 20 which is wound on the lower end side of the rod members 82.
  • the second accumulation sensor 77 senses the shortage of yarn accumulation in the accumulator 61.
  • the unit control section 50 controls the rotation speed of the servo motor 55 (the speed at which the yarn 20 is supplied to the yarn pool section 71). This enables the amount of yarn 20 accumulated in the accumulator 61 to be adjusted so that the amount is not excessive or insufficient.
  • the speed at which the yarn 20 is wound around the yarn pool section 71 of the accumulator 61 (in other words, the speed at which the yarn 20 is supplied to the yarn pool section 71) is controlled so as to be equal to or higher than the speed at which the yarn 20 is wound into the package 30 and which increases with the elapse of time. Then, when a predetermined time elapses from the beginning of the winding and an amount of yarn 20 required for the yarn splicing operation is accumulated in the accumulator 61, the yarn 20 is controllably wound around the yarn pool section 71 at a speed equal to the yarn winding speed for the package 30. Thus, the amount of yarn 20 accumulated in the accumulator 61 is maintained.

  • the yarn pool section 71 preferably always maintains a condition in which an amount of yarn 20 equal to or more than the required amount is accumulated.
  • the yarn 20 unwound from the yarn pool section 71 of the accumulator 61 is wound into the package 30, which is driven by the winding drum 24. At this time, the tension applied to the yarn 20 by the second tension control mechanism 42 is controlled by the unit control section 50 according to the winding speed.

As shown in Figure 1 , the unit control section 50 is electrically connected to the servo motor 55 via a servo motor control section 56.
  • the servo motor 55 drives the accumulating guide arm 75 in the forward direction. Then, as described above, the accumulating guide arm 55 is rotated to accumulate the yarn 20 on the yarn pool section 71.
  • determining the rotation angle of the servo motor 55 allows the calculation of the length of the yarn 20 to be wound around the yarn pool section 71.
  • the present embodiment utilizes this to allow the amount of yarn 20 to be supplied to the yarn pool section 71 to be precisely calculated based on pulse signals output by the rotating servo motor 55. More specifically, the yarn feed amount can be determined by calculating the feed length of the yarn 20 conveyed in a predetermined time, the yarn conveying speed, and the like.
  • the disturb control performed by the yarn winding section 9 or the like may result in a difference between the actual speed at which the yarn 20 is wound into the package 30 and the rotation speed of the winding drum 24.
  • the yarn speed on the upstream side of the yarn pool section 71 is set according to the rotation speed of the servo motor 55.
  • the accumulator 61 is configured such that the yarn 20 is wound around and spirally accumulated the same portion of the yarn pool section 71 by the accumulating guide arm 75. This allows the winding length (supply length) of the yarn 20 per rotation of the accumulating guide arm 75 to be always maintained constant.
  • the yarn 20 is wound around the yarn pool section 71 while forming a simple spiral.
  • the yarn 20 is prevented from being improperly unwound as a result of overlapping (ribbon winding). This eliminates the need for the disturb control or the like during accumulation. Consequently, the yarn speed on the upstream side of the yarn pool section 71 is exactly proportional to the rotation speed of the accumulating guide arm 75.
  • the servo motor control section 56 controls the rotation speed of the accumulating guide arm 75 to allow the yarn speed on the upstream side of the yarn pool section 71 to be accurately controlled.
  • a yarn unevenness sensor (not shown in the drawings) allowing the yarn thickness to be detected is located in the sensor head 19, provided in the clearer 15.
  • the yarn unevenness sensor detects thickness unevenness in the yarn 20.
  • a value detected by the yarn unevenness sensor is used to determine whether or not a yarn defect is present.
  • the detection signal from the yarn unevenness sensor is transmitted to the analyzer 52.
  • the analyzer 52 includes a CPU or the like (not shown in the drawings) which functions as a control section and a signal processing section.
  • the analyzer 52 determines the value to indicate a yarn defect.
  • the analyzer 52 transmits a yarn defect detection signal to the unit control section 50. For example, if the yarn 20 continuously exhibits a thickness equal to 150% of the average one over a length of at least 3 mm, the analyzer 52 determines the corresponding portion to be slub or the like.
  • the procedure in which the analyzer 52 detects a yarn unevenness defect will be described taking the detection of slub for instance.
  • a signal resulting from the detection performed by the sensor head 19, provided in the clearer 15 indicates that the yarn thickness is at least 150% of the average one (defect occurrence signal)
  • this defect occurrence signal is transmitted to the analyzer 52.
  • the analyzer 52 Upon receiving the defect occurrence signal, the analyzer 52 counts the pulse signal transmitted by the servo motor 55. The analyzer 52 thus monitors the rotation angle of the accumulating guide arm 75 with respect to the position of the accumulating guide arm 75 located at the time of the reception of the defect occurrence signal.
  • the analyzer 52 determines that slub has been generated. Then, the analyzer 52 transmits the yarn defect detection signal to the unit control section 50.
  • the yarn speed on the upstream side of the yarn pool section 71 (the speed of the yarn 20 passing through the clearer 15) can be accurately controlled by the servo motor control section 56.
  • the servo motor 55 can also be controlled such that the yarn 20 travels at a constant speed suitable for allowing the clearer 15 to detect yarn defects. This allows the accurate determination of the presence or absence of a yarn defect using the clearer 15. Therefore, the quality of the package 30 can be ensured without the need to set determination conditions for yarn defects more strictly than required so as to provide a large margin. This inhibits an otherwise tolerable yarn unevenness portion from being removed, enabling production efficiency to be improved.
  • the pulse signal from the servo motor 55 is input to the analyzer 52 via the servo motor control section 56. Then, based on the pulse signal from the servo motor 55, the analyzer 52 calculates the continuous length of the uneven-thickness portion of the yarn 20. Thus, for example, even when the rotation speed of the accumulating guide arm 75 is changed in order to adjust the amount of yarn 20 accumulated in the yarn pool section 71, the accuracy with which the clearer 15 detects yarn defects can be appropriately maintained.
  • the unit control section 50 halts the servo motor 55 of the accumulator 61 to stop the rotation of the guide arm 75. Moreover, the unit control section 50 drives the cutter 18 to cut the yarn 20. Thus, a part of the yarn 20 located on the downstream side of the cut portion is stopped below the introduction port 80 in the accumulator. Provided that the yarn 20 is stopped below the introduction port 80 in the accumulator, the yarn 20 may be cut by the cutter 18 simultaneously with the stop of rotation of the accumulating guide arm 75.
  • the unit control section 50 brings the servo motor 55 into a neutral state (free state).
  • the unit control section 50 thus allows the downstream-side yarn guide pipe 26 to suck and catch the downstream-side yarn 20 positioned below the introduction port 80 in the accumulator 61. Then, with the yarn end of the downstream-side yarn 20 caught, the unit control section 50 allows the downstream-side yarn guide pipe 26 to be pivotally moved to the guide position. Since the servo motor 55 is in the neutral state, the downstream-side yarn guide pipe 26 rotates downward to rotate the accumulating guide arm 75 in a direction in which the yarn 20 is unwound. Then, the yarn 20 is drawn out to the upstream side of the accumulator 61.
  • the yarn defect can be drawn from the yarn pool section 71 back to the upstream side.
  • the unit control section 50 then allows the upstream-side yarn guide pipe 25 to suck and catch the upstream-side yarn 20 and then pivotally move to the guide position above the splicer device 14.
  • the splicer device 14 starts a yarn splicing operation.
  • the yarn end of the downstream-side yarn containing the yarn defect is cut and removed by the cutter of the splicer device 14.
  • the yarn splicing operation is performed in parallel with the operation of winding the yarn 20 into the package 30.
  • the yarn defect can be removed without the need to stop and reverse the winding drum 24.
  • the servo motor 55 starts rotating forward to resume the supply of the yarn 20 to the accumulator 61.
  • the unit control section 50 preferably performs control such that at least immediately after the yarn splicing operation, the speed at which the yarn 20 is supplied to the yarn pool section 71 is higher than the winding speed for the package 30. This allows the quick recovery of the accumulation amount of the yarn pool section 71, reduced during the yarn splicing operation.
