Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a spinning machine. More specifically, the present invention relates to a configuration that applies tension to a spun yarn in the spinning machine.
  • a spinning machine disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2004-124333 is conventionally known.
  • a spinning machine of this type includes a metal delivery roller that is rotationally driven and a rubber nip roller that faces the delivery roller and is dependently rotated.
  • the spinning machine nips and transports a spun yarn, which is fed from a spinning device, by the delivery roller and the nip roller.
  • the rotation of the delivery roller applies tension to the yarn fed from the spinning device.
  • the yarn can be fed from the spinning device at a prescribed speed and transported downstream at a prescribed speed.
  • the yarn thickness is defined by a speed ratio of the delivery roller and a back roller.
  • the yarn feeding tension applied during the spinning operation is defined by a speed ratio of the delivery roller and a front roller.
  • the tension applied during the clearing operation is defined by a speed ratio of the delivery roller and a winding device (in the case where a yarn slack eliminating device is provided, the tension applied during the clearing operation is defined by a speed ratio of the delivery roller and the yarn slack eliminating device) . Therefore, a yarn transporting speed of the delivery roller is an important parameter that influences the yarn quality. Accordingly, it is required to transport the yarn at an accurate speed by the delivery roller.
  • the yarn In the winding device provided downstream of the delivery roller, the yarn is traversed on a surface of a package, and as a result, the yarn tension always changes at a downstream side of the delivery roller.
  • the tension change is softened by a yarn tension adjusting device to some degree, the tension change may propagate to the delivery roller, which is provided upstream of the yarn tension adjusting device.
  • the yarn transporting speed of the delivery roller changes, which thereby deteriorates the yarn quality.
  • the yarn nipping force of the delivery roller and the nip roller is preferably strong and stable.
  • the nipping force may vary due to factors such as abrasion occurring on a surface of the rubber nip roller or assembling accuracy of components. Therefore, is has been difficult to manage the nipping force to be equal among a plurality of spinning units, and to keep the quality of the produced yarn to be uniform. Moreover, when the rubber on the surface of the nip roller abrades further, the nipping force decreases, and the yarn slips frequently.
  • nip rollers adopt a cantilever-supporting type structure in view of maintenance.
  • a nip position changes and the nipping force also changes.
  • the yarn tension changes, which resultantly causes a clearer to frequently make false detection.
  • the nip roller is a consumable component that needs to be regularly replaced because the rubber on the surface abrades. Fiber dusts (fly wastes) or the like are easily wound around the delivery roller and the nip roller. When the fiber dusts or the like are wound around the delivery roller and the nip roller, an operator needs to remove the fiber dusts or the like. Accordingly, the transporting of the yarn by the delivery roller and the nip roller requires a great burden of maintenance work.
  • the present invention provides the features of claim 1.
  • a spinning machine includes a spinning device, a winding device, and a yarn accumulating device.
  • the spinning device produces a spun yarn by applying twists to a fiber bundle.
  • the winding device winds the spun yarn fed from the spinning device and forms a package.
  • the yarn accumulating device is arranged between the spinning device and the winding device.
  • the yarn accumulating device includes a rotary yarn accumulating roller, and temporarily accumulates the spun yarn by winding the spun yarn around the yarn accumulating roller.
  • the spinning machine feeds the spun yarn from the spinning device while applying tension to the spun yarn by the yarn accumulating device.
  • the above-described spinning machine As compared with a conventional configuration in which, for example, a spun yarn is nipped and transported by two rollers, in the above-described spinning machine, since tension is applied to the spun yarn by the yarn accumulating roller, a large contact area is provided between the yarn accumulating roller used as a yarn transporting member and the spun yarn. In other words, the above-described spinning machine can apply tension to the spun yarn with a sufficient transporting force. As a result, since the spun yarn does not slip on the yarn accumulating roller and the spun yarn, the spun yarn can be fed from the spinning device at a stable speed. Thus, the spinning machine can produce the spun yarn with a uniform quality.
  • the spun yarn fed from the spinning device is directly introduced into the yarn accumulating device without via other yarn transporting members.
  • the yarn accumulating device can apply tension to the spun yarn fed from the spinning device without being influenced by other yarn transporting members.
  • a spinning machine that includes other yarn transporting members between a spinning device and a yarn accumulating device, problems arise in that fiber dusts may be wound around such other yarn transporting members.
  • the above-described spinning machine can overcome such problems and a maintenance work can be carried out more easily.
  • the above-described spinning machine can reduce the number of components. As a result, an entire structure of the spinning machine can be simplified, and a cost can be reduced.
  • the yarn accumulating roller is preferably made from high abrasion-resistant material (such as metal).
  • the durability of the yarn accumulating roller is improved as compared with that of a rubber roller. Accordingly, as compared with the conventional spinning machine, the above-described spinning machine can reduce the number of consumable components and maintain a stable yarn quality over a long period of time. Moreover, changes in performance arising from abrasion can be reduced in the above-described spinning machine. Therefore, for example, as compared with the conventional configuration in which the spun yarn is transported by the rubber roller, fluctuation in the yarn transporting force among a plurality of spinning units of the spinning machine can be reduced. In other words, the quality of the yarn produced by the plurality of spinning units can be equalized among the spinning units.
  • the yarn accumulating roller By making the yarn accumulating roller from material with high workability, such as metal, the yarn accumulating roller can be made easily with high working accuracy. Accordingly, differences in component sizes among the spinning units can be reduced, and the quality of the yarn to be produced can be easily managed to be uniform among the spinning units.
  • the yarn accumulating device is preferably a yarn slack eliminating device that absorbs changes in the yarn tension applied between the yarn accumulating device and the winding device.
  • the changes in the yarn tension between the yarn slack eliminating device and the winding device can be prevented from influencing the yarn tension between the yarn slack eliminating device and the spinning device.
  • the yarn quality can be further improved.
  • the yarn slack eliminating device includes both a function of transporting the spun yarn and a function of adjusting the yarn tension, as compared with the conventional configuration in which a yarn transporting member and a tension adjusting member are independently provided, the number of components and the cost of the spinning machine can be reduced.
  • the spun yarn can be wound around the yarn accumulating roller at least ten times without the spun yarn forming overlaps.
  • the spun yarn transporting force by the rotation of the yarn accumulating roller can be sufficiently stabilized.

  • the draft device 7 drafts a sliver 15 into the fiber bundle 8. As illustrated in Fig. 2 , the draft device 7 includes a back roller 16, a third roller 17, a middle roller 19, and a front roller 20. Further, an apron belt 18 is wound around the middle roller 19.

  • the spinning machine 1 according to the present embodiment can apply tension to the spun yarn 10 by the yarn slack eliminating device 12 and feed the spun yarn 10 from the spinning device 9 constantly at an accurate speed.
  • the yarn accumulated amount sensor 27 contactlessly detects an amount of the spun yarn 10 accumulated (yarn accumulated amount) around the slack eliminating roller 21, and then transmits a detection result to the unit controller.
  • the upstream guide 23 is arranged slightly upstream of the slack eliminating roller 21.
  • the upstream guide 23 is a guide member that properly guides the spun yarn 10 to the outer surface of the slack eliminating roller 21. Further, the upstream guide 23 also includes a function of preventing the twists of the spun yarn 10 applied by the spinning device 9 from being transmitted downstream of the upstream guide 23.
  • the yarn clearer 52 is arranged at a position that is located on a front surface of the housing 6 of the spinning machine 1 and between the spinning device 9 and the yarn slack eliminating device 12.
  • the spun yarn 10, which is spun by the spinning device 9, passes through the yarn clearer 52 before being wound by the yarn slack eliminating device 12.
  • the yarn clearer 52 monitors a thickness of the traveling spun yarn 10. When a yarn defect of the spun yarn 10 is detected, the yarn clearer 52 transmits a yarn defect detection signal to the not-illustrated unit controller.

Then, the unit controller re-drives the spinning device 9 or the like, controls the yarn splicing cart 3 to perform a yarn splicing operation, and resumes a winding operation.
  • the yarn slack eliminating device 12 accumulates the spun yarn 10, which is continuously fed from the spinning device 9, around the slack eliminating roller 21 and eliminates a slack of the spun yarn 10.

  • the cylindrical portion 21c is flatly connected (without difference in level) with the taper portions 21b and 21d.
  • the spun yarn 10 is wound around the outer peripheral surface 21a of the slack eliminating roller 21 at least ten times without the spun yarn 10 forming overlaps. Therefore, the size of the cylindrical portion 21c is formed such that the accumulated spun yarn 10 can be wound around at least ten times.
  • the yarn accumulated amount sensor 27 faces the cylindrical portion 21c.
  • the yarn accumulated amount sensor 27 detects an accumulated amount of the spun yarn 10 wound around the slack eliminating roller 21, and then transmits a detection result to the unit controller.
  • Each of the base-end taper portion 21b and the tip-end taper portion 21d has a slightly tapered shape with a larger diameter at a corresponding end side.
  • the base-end taper portion 21b smoothly moves the supplied spun yarn 10 from a larger diameter portion to a smaller diameter portion towards the cylindrical portion 21c so as to orderly wind the spun yarn 10 around the surface of the cylindrical portion 21c.
  • the tip-end taper portion 21d has a function of preventing the wound spun yarn 10 from slipping off all at once when unwinding the spun yarn 10 from the slack eliminating roller 21.

  • the yarn hooking member 22 is arranged coaxially with the slack eliminating roller 21, and rotates independently or integrally with the slack eliminating roller 21 in accordance with a condition. More specifically, the yarn hooking member 22 includes a flyer shaft 33 and a flyer 38.
  • the flyer shaft 33 is supported in a manner that the flyer shaft 33 can rotate with respect to the slack eliminating roller 21.
  • the flyer 38 is fixed to a tip end of the flyer shaft 33.
  • a permanent magnet is attached to either one of the flyer shaft 33 and the slack eliminating roller 21, and a magnetic hysteresis material is attached to another one of the flyer shaft 33 and the slack eliminating roller 21.
  • a torque generating member is composed of these magnetic mechanisms, and generates a resistance torque that is against the rotation of the yarn hooking member 22 with respect to the slack eliminating roller 21.
  • the flyer 38 rotates integrally with the flyer shaft 33.

  • the yarn slack eliminating device 12 hooks the spun yarn 10 on the flyer 38 and winds the spun yarn 10 around the slack eliminating roller 21. Accordingly, the yarn slack eliminating device 12 can eliminate the slack of the spun yarn 10 and adjust winding tension.
  • the yarn hooking member 22 can rotate independently from the slack eliminating roller 21, and the resistance torque that is against the rotation of the yarn hooking member 22 is added to the yarn hooking member 22 by the magnetic mechanisms.
  • the slack eliminating roller 21 is rotated by the electric motor 25 at prescribed rotational speed.
  • the yarn hooking member 22 rotates independently from the slack eliminating roller 21 and unwinds the spun yarn 10 from the slack eliminating roller 21. If the tension applied to the spun yarn 10 is small, the yarn hooking member 22 rotates integrally with the slack eliminating roller 21 and winds the spun yarn 10 around the slack eliminating roller 21. While the spun yarn 10 is wound from the base end of the slack eliminating roller 21, the spun yarn 10 is unwound from the tip end of the slack eliminating roller 21.
  • the yarn slack eliminating device 12 when the tension of the spun yarn 10 decreases (when the spun yarn 10 is likely to slack), the yarn slack eliminating device 12 winds the spun yarn 10, and when the tension of the spun yarn 10 increases, the yarn slack eliminating device 12 unwinds the spun yarn 10. Accordingly, the yarn slack eliminating device 12 can eliminate the slack of the spun yarn 10 and apply appropriate tension to the spun yarn 10. Moreover, as described above, the yarn hooking member 22 operates to absorb changes in the tension applied to the spun yarn 10 between the yarn slack eliminating device 12 and the winding device 13. Therefore, the yarn slack eliminating device 12 can prevent the changes in the tension from influencing the spun yarn 10 between the spinning device 9 and the yarn slack eliminating device 12. As a result, the spun yarn 10 can be fed from the spinning device 9 at a stable speed by the yarn slack eliminating device 12.

  • the speed at which the spun yarn 10 is fed from the spinning device 9 is defined by the rotational speed of the roller driving section 25 controlled by the rotational speed control section.
  • the rotational speed of the winding drum 72 is set in a manner that the winding speed is slightly greater than the yarn feeding speed of the slack eliminating roller 21 (i.e., greater than the spinning speed of the spinning device 9). Accordingly, the spun yarn 10 wound around the slack eliminating roller 21 is gradually unwound, and the yarn accumulated amount is reduced.
  • the unit controller of the spinning unit 2 controls the cradle arm 71 to swing towards the left in Fig. 2 by driving a not-illustrated lift cylinder, and moves the package 45 away from the winding drum 72. Accordingly, the package 45 loses a driving force, and although inertial rotation continues, the winding speed thereof gradually decreases.
  • the spun yarn 10 is gradually wound by the yarn hooking member 22, and the yarn accumulated amount of the slack eliminating roller 21 is restored.
  • the spun yarn 10 exceeding an amount that can be accumulated around the cylindrical portion 21c is wound around the slack eliminating roller 21

  • the unit controller controls the cradle arm 71 to swing towards the right in Fig. 2 , and controls the package 45 to make contact with the winding drum 72. As a result, the winding speed is restored, and the spun yarn 10 is unwound from the slack eliminating roller 21.
  • the package 45 can be controlled to make contact with the winding drum 72 or move away from the winding drum 72, and the winding speed of the winding device 13 can be adjusted.

  • the spun yarn 10 can be wound around the slack eliminating roller 21 at least ten times without the spun yarn 10 forming overlaps.
  • a sufficient length of the spun yarn 10 is wound around the slack eliminating roller 21 as if to tighten the slack eliminating roller 21.
  • the spun yarn 10 tightens the slack eliminating roller 21, and the transporting force for the spun yarn 10 by the rotation of the slack eliminating roller 21 can be sufficiently stabilized.
  • a method of applying torque between the yarn hooking member 22 and the slack eliminating roller 21 is not limited to the above-described magnetic mechanisms. In place of such mechanisms, for example, a frictional force or an electromagnetic mechanism may be used.
  • the yarn hooking member 22 is not indispensable.
  • the spinning machine 1 may use a yarn slack eliminating device that does not include a yarn hooking member capable of rotating with respect to the slack eliminating roller. Even with such a structure, the yarn can also be fed from the spinning device at a stable speed by winding the yarn around the rotating slack eliminating roller.
  • the yarn tension can be adjusted by the yarn hooking member 22.
  • the yarn slack eliminating device 12 including the yarn hooking member 22 described in the above embodiment.
  • any layout of the spinning unit 2 may be adopted as long as the yarn slack eliminating device 12 applies tension to the spun yarn 10 fed from the spinning device 9, and the layout is not limited to the layout described in the above embodiment.
  • another yarn guiding member for example, a roller that does not nip the yarn
  • tension of the yarn may be provided.
  • the configuration of the above spinning machine 1 is just an example, and, for example, the yarn splicing cart 3 may be omitted, or an automatic doffing cart that automatically replaces a wound package may be further provided.
