  • the turbulence of the air flow occurs in all four types of blower ducts due to the lowering of the suction force that occurs since the pressure loss becomes large as the distance from the blower box becomes greater, and the inflow air that flows in from the air inflow holes.
  • the blower duct having a hexagonal cross-section illustrated in Fig. 7 the turbulence of the air flow is small compared to other blower ducts with different cross-sectional shapes.
  • the influence of the inflow air from the air inflow holes is large since the cross-sectional area is small compared to the blower ducts of other shapes, and thus the turbulence of the air flow is assumed to be strong.
  • the blower duct having a polygonal cross-section in which the number of vertices is five or more as in the above-described embodiment and the variant can efficiently generate the cyclone flow at the interior, and thus a loss speed in the suctioning direction is small and a delivery ability of the yarn waste is high compared to the conventional blower duct. From the experimental results, the loss speed is small and the turbulence of the air flow is small in the blower duct having a hexagonal cross-section, in particular, and thus such a blower duct is suitable in the simulation results in terms of effectively removing the yarn waste.
  • the blower duct 20 of the present embodiment is configured as below.

Therefore, the cyclone flow can be generated with a simple configuration of forming the first air inflow hole 31. Furthermore, since the first wall surface 35 with the first air inflow hole 31 is formed to a planar shape, the structure of the connecting portion of the suction path for supplying the suction force to the winding unit 11 configured in the automatic winder 10 and the first air inflow hole 31 can be simplified. In the present embodiment and the variant, the diameter of the first air inflow hole 31 is formed the largest of the diameters of the air inflow holes, and thus the inflow amount of air is also large.

  • the blower duct 20 of the present embodiment is configured such that the cross-sectional shape is a hexagon (polygon in which the number of vertices is five or more).
  • the cross-sectional shape of the blower duct 20 becomes close to a circle as the number of vertices becomes greater. Therefore, the cyclone flow can be easily generated in the blower duct 20, and the yarn waste in the blower duct 20 can be effectively removed.
  • the inscribed circle 50 of maximum diameter that inscribes the cross-sectional shape comes into contact with all sides configuring the cross-sectional shape.
  • the automatic winder (textile machine) 10 of the present embodiment includes the blower duct 20, and the blower box serving as the negative pressure source connected to the blower duct 20.
  • the configuration of the air inflow hole formed in the blower duct of the above-described embodiment can be appropriately changed.
  • the second air inflow hole and the third air inflow hole may be formed at the first wall surface 35 on the upper side in addition to the first air inflow hole 31. In this manner, the number of arrangements and the arrangement area of the air inflow hole for supplying the suction force to each winding unit 11 can be changed according to the situation.
  • the blower duct 20 may have a configuration including an inner wall that does not come into contact with the inscribed circle of maximum diameter.
  • the cyclone flow generates when the air that flows in from the first air inflow hole 31 is guided by the opposing surface wall 38, but the configuration for generating the cyclone flow may be appropriately changed.
  • a groove, a guide plate, and the like for generating the cyclone flow may be formed at the inner side surface of the blower duct.
  • the configuration is not limited to the configuration of generating the cyclone flow in the blower duct as in the above-described embodiment. As long as the air that flows in from the air inflow hole into the blower duct is guided in the constant direction by the inclined opposing surface wall, the configuration of the blower duct can be appropriately changed. With such a configuration as well, the yarn waste that tends to remain near the air inflow hole in the blower duct can be efficiently removed.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the blower duct of the above-described embodiment is a hexagon or a pentagon
  • the present invention is not limited to such a configuration.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the blower duct can be appropriately changed, and the cross-sectional shape of the blower duct may be an octagon, or a square.
