- a compressed air supplying pipe 65 which is connected to a not-illustrated compressed air source, is connected with the nozzle casing 53. Accordingly, compressed air can be supplied from the compressed air source to the first air chamber 61.
- a plurality of whirling flow generation nozzles (air injection holes) 27 are formed in the nozzle block 34 to connect the spinning chamber 26 and the second air chamber 62.
- the whirling flow generation nozzles 27 are an elongate hole formed (drilled) in the nozzle block 34.
- a longitudinal direction of the whirling flow generation nozzles 27 is slightly slanted towards a downstream side of a yarn feeding direction, and as illustrated in Fig. 5 , the whirling flow generation nozzles 27 are formed in a tangential direction of the round-shaped spinning chamber 26.
- the whirling flow generation nozzles 27 inject the compressed air supplied from the compressed air source to the spinning chamber 26, and, for example, the whirling flow generation nozzles 27 generate whirling flow directed in a counterclockwise direction in planar view in the spinning chamber 26 (refer to Figs. 4 and 5 ). After spirally flowing downstream along the whirling flow generation chamber 25, the whirling flow is discharged from the air discharging space 55 formed in the nozzle casing 53. Further, the spinning chamber 26 is decompressed by the airflow directed downstream, and suction flow is generated in the guide hole 21.
- the spinning section 9 is configured as follows. That is, the ring-shaped second air chamber 62 is formed around the round-shaped spinning chamber 26, and the spinning chamber 26 and the second air chamber 62 are connected via the plurality of whirling flow generation nozzles 27. Moreover, the ring-shaped first air chamber 61 is formed around the second air chamber 62, and the first air chamber 61 and the second air chamber 62 are connected via the plurality of air channels 64.
- the compressed air When the compressed air is supplied from the compressed air source via the compressed air supplying pipe 65 to the first air chamber 61, the compressed air supplied to the first air chamber 61 is supplied to the second air chamber 62 via the plurality of air channels 64. Then, the compressed air can be injected from the second air chamber 62 to the spinning chamber 26 through the plurality of whirling flow generation nozzles 27.
- a conventional air spinning machine includes only one air chamber 95, and the compressed air is supplied through one compressed air supplying pipe 97 to the air chamber 95.
- a pressure difference is generated between a position located near a connection portion of the compressed air supplying pipe 97 and a position located away from such a connection portion.
- an amount (i.e. quantity or volume) of the airflow injected from each of a plurality of whirling flow generation nozzles 96 varies and, in particular, when a large amount of compressed air is supplied, the varying in the amount of the airflow becomes significant, causing unstable whirling flow and suction flow.
- the compressed air is once supplied to the first air chamber 61, and then supplied from the first air chamber 61 to the second air chamber 62 via the plurality of air channels 64 provided as an orifice (flow adjusting section). Accordingly, after distributing the compressed air to some degree in the peripheral direction in the ring-shaped first air chamber 61 (i.e., after moderating a pressure difference to some degree in the peripheral direction), the compressed air can be supplied to the second air chamber 62.
- the plurality of air channels 64 are arranged at equal interval in the peripheral direction of the ring-shaped second air chamber 62.
- the compressed air can be supplied to the second air chamber 62 equally in the peripheral direction, disproportion or unevenness of the air pressure in the second air chamber 62 can be eliminated. As a result, the amount of the compressed air injected from the whirling flow generation nozzles 27 can be equalized.
- a total cross-sectional area of the plurality of air channels 64 is greater than a total cross-sectional area of the plurality of whirling flow generation nozzles 27. Accordingly, when the compressed air is introduced into the whirling flow generation nozzles 27, the amount of the airflow is squeezed. Thus, the air pressure inside the second air chamber 62 located upstream can be further equalized. As a result, the amount of the compressed air injected from the whirling flow generation nozzles 27 can be further equalized.
- the compressed air is supplied from the not-illustrated compressed air source, and further injected to the spinning chamber 26 by the whirling flow generation nozzles 27.
- the whirling airflow is generated in the spinning chamber 26, and airflow flowing downward in the drawing of Fig. 3 is generated.
- the spinning chamber 26 is decompressed by Bernoulli's theory, and suction flow is generated in the guide hole 21.
- the fiber bundle 8 is fed from the draft device 7 to the spinning section 9, the fiber bundle 8 is sucked into the guide hole 21 and guided to the spinning chamber 26.
- the fiber bundle 8 introduced into the spinning chamber 26 passes through the yarn path 29, and is eventually discharged from the not-illustrated outlet hole to the outside of the spinning section 9.
- a yarn end discharged from the outlet hole of the spinning section 9 is caught by the suction pipe 44 of the yarn splicing cart 3, and spliced with a yarn end of the package 45 by the splicer 43. Accordingly, the fiber bundle 8 or the spun yarn 10 is connected from the front roller 18 to the yarn feeding device 11 via the guide hole 21, the spinning chamber 26, and the yarn path 29. In this state, by applying a feeding force to the spun yarn 10 by the yarn feeding device 11 towards the downstream side, tension is applied to the spun yarn 10, and the spun yarn 10 is sequentially fed from the spinning section 9.
- the fiber bundle 8 fed from the front roller 18 of the draft device 7 towards the downstream side enters the spinning chamber 26 through the guide hole 21, and the whirling flow generated by the whirling flow generation nozzles 27 acts upon the fiber bundle 8. Accordingly, one end of each of short fibers is separated and opened relative to long fibers defined as core fibers of the fiber bundle 8.
- the short fibers are swung around in the whirling flow generation chamber 25, and twists are applied to the fibers. Such twists tend to be propagated towards the front roller 18, however, the propagation is prevented by the needle 22. Therefore, the fiber bundle 8 fed from the front roller 18 is not twisted in by such twists.
- the needle 22 has a twist propagation preventing function. However, such a twist propagation preventing function is not limited to the needle 22, and may be achieved by other structures.
- Such twisted fibers are sequentially produced into a truly-twisted yarn, in which most of the fibers are wound fibers.
- a truly-twisted yarn passes through the yarn path 29 as the spun yarn 10, and then, the spun yarn 10 is discharged from the not-illustrated outlet hole to the downstream side.
- the spun yarn 10 is wound by the winding device 12 and eventually formed into the package 45.
- fibers that are not twisted into the spun yarn 10 due to breakage or the like that occurs when the short fibers are opened or when the twists are applied.
- Such fibers are fed from the whirling flow generation chamber 25 to the air discharging space 55 by the whirling flow generated by the whirling flow generation nozzles 27, and then, discharged via the pipe 60 by the suction of the negative-pressure source.
- the spinning machine 1 includes the spinning chamber 26, the hollow guide spindle 20, the first air chamber 61, the second air chamber 62, the plurality of air channels 64, and the plurality of whirling flow generation nozzles 27.
- the compressed air is supplied to the first air chamber 61.
- Each of the plurality of air channels 64 connects the first air chamber 61 and the second air chamber 62.
- Each of the plurality of whirling flow generation nozzles 27 connects the second air chamber 62 and the spinning chamber 26.
- the compressed air can be supplied from the plurality of air channels 64 to the second air chamber 62.
- the amount of the airflow injected from the plurality of whirling flow generation nozzles 27 into the spinning chamber 26 can be equalized, and even if the amount of the airflow increases, the spinning operation and the suction operation can be stably performed.
- the quality of the spun yarn 10 produced by spinning the fiber bundle 8 in the spinning chamber 26 can be maintained in good condition.
- the total cross-sectional area of the plurality of air channels 64 is greater than the total cross-sectional area of the plurality of whirling flow generation nozzles 27. Therefore, the pressure inside the second air chamber 62 can be equalized in good condition, and the amount of the airflow injected from the plurality of whirling flow generation nozzles 27 can be further equalized.
- the spinning chamber 26 is formed in a substantially round shape in cross section.
- the second air chamber 62 is formed in a ring shape around the spinning chamber 26.
- the air channels 64 are arranged at equal interval in the peripheral direction of the second air chamber 62.
- the compressed air can be supplied to the second air chamber 26 equally in the peripheral direction.
- the air pressure inside the second air chamber 62 can be equalized in good condition, and the amount of the airflow injected from the plurality of whirling flow generation nozzles 27 into the second air chamber 26 can be equalized.
- the first air chamber 61 is formed in a ring shape outside the second air chamber 62 in the radial direction of the second air chamber 62. Accordingly, a device that is compact in the traveling direction of the fiber bundle or of the spun yarn can be provided.
- the number of the whirling flow generation nozzles 27 and the number of air channels 64 are not limited to those in the above-described embodiment, but may be appropriately changed.
- the air channels which connect the first air chamber and the second air chamber, are not necessarily required to be arranged at equal interval as long as a plurality of air channels are provided. However, from the standpoint of equally supplying the compressed air to the second air chamber, it is preferable to arrange the air channels at equal interval in the peripheral direction of the second air chamber as described in the above embodiment.
- the first air chamber may be formed downstream in the yarn traveling direction (lower side in the drawing of Fig. 3 ) relative to the second air chamber, and the first air chamber and the second air chamber may be connected by a plurality of air channels formed parallel to the yarn traveling direction.
- the first air chamber is preferably arranged around the second air chamber.
- the position of the ring member 63 is not fixed in the peripheral direction. Accordingly, a positional relationship of the air channels 64 and the whirling flow generation nozzles 27 is not limited to the positional relationship illustrated in Fig. 5 . However, when fixing the position of the ring member 63 in the peripheral direction, it is preferable that an opening end of the air channel 64 and an opening end of the whirling flow generation nozzle 27 do not face one another as illustrated in Fig. 5 . Accordingly, the airflow from the air channels 64 does not directly flow into the whirling flow generation nozzles 27. As a result, the amount of the compressed air injected from the whirling flow generation nozzles 27 can be further equalized.

2005-220483 -
Fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional plan view of a spinning device of a conventional air spinning machine. Aspinning device 93 includes aspinning chamber 94 formed in a substantially circular shape in cross section. A fiber bundle 98 can be inserted into thespinning chamber 94 in a direction perpendicular to the plane ofFig. 6 . Anair chamber 95 is formed in a ring shape in cross section around thespinning chamber 94. Thespinning chamber 94 and theair chamber 95 are connected by a plurality of elongate whirling flow generation nozzles (air injection holes) 96. The whirlingflow generation nozzle 96 is formed in a tangential direction of thespinning chamber 94 in planar view. A compressedair supplying pipe 97 is connected to the ring-shaped air chamber 95 so as to supply compressed air from a not-illustrated compressed air source to theair chamber 95. - In the above-described structure, when the compressed air is supplied from the compressed
air supplying pipe 97 to theair chamber 95, the compressed air is divided and supplied from theair chamber 95 to the plurality of whirlingflow generation nozzles 96, and then, the compressed air is injected from each of the whirlingflow generation nozzles 96 towards thespinning chamber 94. Thus, for example, counterclockwise whirling airflow is generated in thespinning chamber 94 as indicated by an arrow of the drawing. Thespinning device 93 can produce spun yarn by applying twists to the fiber bundle 98 by the whirling airflow. - The whirling
flow generation nozzle 96 is slanted towards the inner side of the plane ofFig. 6 . Accordingly, when the compressed air is injected from the whirlingflow generation nozzles 96 to thespinning chamber 94, airflow directed to the inner side of the plane ofFig. 6 is generated in thespinning chamber 94. Thus, thespinning chamber 94 is decompressed, i.e. the pressure inside thespinning chamber 94 is decreased (Bernoulli's theory), and the fiber bundle 98 can be sucked and guided into thespinning chamber 94. - However, in such an air spinning machine, when an amount (i.e. quantity or volume) of the compressed air supplied from the compressed air supplying pipe increases due to an increase in a spinning speed, or the like, an amount of the airflow injected from the plurality of whirling flow generation nozzles to the spinning chamber may be unequalized. As a result, the whirling flow may become turbulent in the spinning chamber, decreasing stability of a spinning operation. Moreover, since the spinning chamber is not sufficiently decompressed, a stable suction operation may become difficult.
- In order to overcome the problems described above, preferred embodiments of the present invention provide an air spinning machine that can perform a spinning operation and a suction operation stably and in good condition even when an amount of airflow increases.
- According to an aspect of the present invention, an air spinning machine includes a spinning chamber, a hollow guide spindle, a first air chamber, a second air chamber, a plurality of air channels, and a plurality of air injection holes. Compressed air is supplied to the first air chamber. The air channels connect the first air chamber and the second air chamber. The air injection holes connect the second air chamber and the spinning chamber.
- Thus, since the compressed air can be supplied from the plurality of air channels to the second air chamber, an amount (i.e. quantity or volume) of the airflow injected from the plurality of air injection holes to the spinning chamber can be equalized, and even when the amount of airflow increases, the spinning operation and the suction operation can be performed stably and in good condition. As a result, the quality of a spun yarn produced by spinning a fiber bundle in the spinning chamber can be maintained in good condition.
- In the air spinning machine, a total cross-sectional area of the plurality of the air channels is preferably greater than a total cross-sectional area of the plurality of the air injection holes. Thus, the pressure inside the second air chamber can be equalized in good condition, and the amount of the airflow injected from the plurality of the air injection holes can be further equalized.
- In the air spinning machine, the second air chamber is preferably formed in a ring shape around the spinning chamber. The air channels are preferably arranged at equal interval in a peripheral direction of the second air chamber. Thus, since the compressed air can be equally supplied to the second air chamber in a peripheral direction of the second air chamber, the air pressure inside the second air chamber can be equalized in good condition, and the amount of the airflow injected from the plurality of air injection holes can be equalized.
- In the air spinning machine, the first air chamber is preferably formed in a ring shape outside the second air chamber in a radial direction of the second air chamber. Accordingly, a device that is compact in a traveling direction of a fiber bundle or of a spun yarn can be provided.

In the spinning machine 1 according to the present embodiment, although an electric motor for driving themiddle roller 17 and thefront roller 18 is also provided on the frame 6, illustration thereof is omitted. - The
yarn feeding device 11 includes adelivery roller 39 and anip roller 40. Thedelivery roller 39 is supported on the frame 6 of the spinning machine 1. Thenip roller 40 is in contact with thedelivery roller 39. While thespun yarn 10 discharged from thespinning section 9 is nipped between thedelivery roller 39 and thenip roller 40, thedelivery roller 39 is rotationally driven by a not-illustrated electric motor. Accordingly, the spunyarn 10 can be fed to the windingdevice 12. - As illustrated in
Figs. 1 and2 , theyarn splicing cart 3 includes a splicer (yarn splicing device) 43, asuction pipe 44, and asuction mouth 46. Theyarn splicing cart 3 travels on arail 41 provided on the frame 6 of a main body of the spinning machine 1. When a yarn cutting or a yarn breakage occurs in a certain spinning unit 2, theyarn splicing cart 3 travels to and stops at such a spinning unit 2. While vertically swinging around a shaft, thesuction pipe 44 sucks and catches a yarn end discharged from thespinning section 9, and then guides the caught yarn end to thesplicer 43. While vertically swinging around a shaft, thesuction mouth 46 sucks and catches a yarn end from thepackage 45, which is rotationally supported by the windingdevice 12, and then thesuction mouth 46 guides the caught yarn end to thesplicer 43. Thesplicer 43 splices the guided yarn ends. - As illustrated in
Fig. 2 , thespinning section 9 is divided into two blocks, that is, afirst block 91 and asecond block 92. Thesecond block 92 is provided downstream of thefirst block 91 in a direction in which thefiber bundle 8 is fed. -
Apneumatic cylinder 80 is connected to thesecond block 92. By driving thepneumatic cylinder 80, thesecond block 92 can be moved away from thefirst block 91. When fibers or the like clog a later-describedair discharging space 55, whirlingflow generation chamber 25, or spinningchamber 26, which are formed between thefirst block 91 and thesecond block 92, by moving thesecond block 92 away from thefirst block 91, maintenance work such as a cleaning operation etc. can be easily performed. Thepneumatic cylinder 80 is controlled by theunit controller 32 and can be operated in accordance with a proper drive signal. - Next, with reference to
Figs. 3 through 5 , a structure of thespinning section 9 will be described further in detail. As illustrated inFig. 3 , thefirst block 91 includes anair spinning nozzle 19, anozzle casing 53, and aring member 63. Thesecond block 92 includes ahollow guide spindle 20 and aspindle holding member 59. - The
air spinning nozzle 19 includes aneedle holder 23 and anozzle block 34. Theair spinning nozzle 19 is supported by thenozzle casing 53. Aguide hole 21 is formed in theneedle holder 23. Thefiber bundle 8, which has been drafted by thedraft device 7 arranged upstream, is introduced into theguide hole 21. Theneedle holder 23 holds aneedle 22 arranged on a path of thefiber bundle 8 introduced from theguide hole 21. - A
taper hole 54 is formed in thenozzle block 34 at a position located downstream of the path of thefiber bundle 8 than theneedle holder 23. Atip end portion 24 of thehollow guide spindle 20 is coaxially inserted into thetaper hole 54. Thetip end portion 24 is formed in a taper shape, and its taper angle is substantially similar to a taper angle of thetaper hole 54. The round-shaped (circular) spinningchamber 26 is formed between a tip end surface of thehollow guide spindle 20 and theneedle holder 23. A tip end of theneedle 22 protrudes into the spinningchamber 26. The tip end of theneedle 22 faces the tip end surface of thehollow guide spindle 20. - The
tip end portion 24 of thehollow guide spindle 20 is arranged such that prescribed space is formed between thehollow guide spindle 20 and thetaper hole 54. Accordingly, the whirling flow generation chamber (hollow chamber) 25 is formed and connected to the spinningchamber 26. Theair discharging space 55 is formed in thenozzle casing 53. Theair discharging space 55 is connected to the whirlingflow generation chamber 25. Theair discharging space 55 is connected via apipe 60 to a not-illustrated negative-pressure source (suction mechanism) provided in the blower box 4. - The
hollow guide spindle 20 includes atubular body 56. The taper-shapedtip end portion 24 is formed at one end of thetubular body 56. Ayarn path 29 is formed at the shaft center of thehollow guide spindle 20. After passing through theyarn path 29, the yarn is discharged through a not-illustrated outlet hole arranged downstream. Thetubular body 56 includes a largeradial portion 58 having an enlarged radius at a downstream side than thetip end portion 24. The largeradial portion 58 is exposed to theair discharging space 55. Under a state in which the largeradial portion 58 is inserted into thespindle holding member 59, thehollow guide spindle 20 is fixed relative to thespindle holding member 59. - The
ring member 63 is formed in a ring shape in cross section in a plane perpendicular to the traveling direction of thefiber bundle 8, and can be engaged with thenozzle casing 53. A plurality of holes (air channels) 64, which are elongate in a radial direction of thering member 63, are formed (drilled) in thering member 63 so as to connect an inner periphery and an outer periphery of thering member 63. More specifically, as illustrated inFig. 5 , eightair channels 64 are arranged at equal interval in a peripheral direction of thering member 63. Each of the eightair channels 64 has a similar channel cross-sectional area and a similar length. Further, the channel cross-sectional area and the length of each of the eightair channels 64 may be identical. - As illustrated in
Figs. 3 and5 , when thering member 63 is engaged with thenozzle casing 53, a ring-shapedfirst air chamber 61 is formed between thering member 63 and thenozzle casing 53, and a ring-shapedsecond air chamber 62 is formed between thenozzle block 34 and thering member 63. A compressedair supplying pipe 65, which is connected to a not-illustrated compressed air source, is connected with thenozzle casing 53. Accordingly, compressed air can be supplied from the compressed air source to thefirst air chamber 61. - A plurality of whirling flow generation nozzles (air injection holes) 27 are formed in the
nozzle block 34 to connect the spinningchamber 26 and thesecond air chamber 62. The whirlingflow generation nozzles 27 are an elongate hole formed (drilled) in thenozzle block 34. As illustrated inFig. 3 , a longitudinal direction of the whirlingflow generation nozzles 27 is slightly slanted towards a downstream side of a yarn feeding direction, and as illustrated inFig. 5 , the whirlingflow generation nozzles 27 are formed in a tangential direction of the round-shapedspinning chamber 26. - The whirling
flow generation nozzles 27 inject the compressed air supplied from the compressed air source to the spinningchamber 26, and, for example, the whirlingflow generation nozzles 27 generate whirling flow directed in a counterclockwise direction in planar view in the spinning chamber 26 (refer toFigs. 4 and5 ). After spirally flowing downstream along the whirlingflow generation chamber 25, the whirling flow is discharged from theair discharging space 55 formed in thenozzle casing 53. Further, the spinningchamber 26 is decompressed by the airflow directed downstream, and suction flow is generated in theguide hole 21. - Focusing on the arrangement of the spinning
chamber 26, thefirst air chamber 61, and thesecond air chamber 62, thespinning section 9 is configured as follows. That is, the ring-shapedsecond air chamber 62 is formed around the round-shapedspinning chamber 26, and the spinningchamber 26 and thesecond air chamber 62 are connected via the plurality of whirlingflow generation nozzles 27. Moreover, the ring-shapedfirst air chamber 61 is formed around thesecond air chamber 62, and thefirst air chamber 61 and thesecond air chamber 62 are connected via the plurality ofair channels 64. - When the compressed air is supplied from the compressed air source via the compressed
air supplying pipe 65 to thefirst air chamber 61, the compressed air supplied to thefirst air chamber 61 is supplied to thesecond air chamber 62 via the plurality ofair channels 64. Then, the compressed air can be injected from thesecond air chamber 62 to the spinningchamber 26 through the plurality of whirlingflow generation nozzles 27. - A description will now be made of advantages of the structure in which the compressed air is supplied to the spinning chamber via the two air chambers as described above.
- As illustrated in
Fig. 6 , a conventional air spinning machine includes only oneair chamber 95, and the compressed air is supplied through one compressedair supplying pipe 97 to theair chamber 95. However, in theair chamber 95 having such a structure, a pressure difference is generated between a position located near a connection portion of the compressedair supplying pipe 97 and a position located away from such a connection portion. As a result, an amount (i.e. quantity or volume) of the airflow injected from each of a plurality of whirlingflow generation nozzles 96 varies and, in particular, when a large amount of compressed air is supplied, the varying in the amount of the airflow becomes significant, causing unstable whirling flow and suction flow. - On this point, in the present embodiment, as illustrated in
Fig. 5 , the compressed air is once supplied to thefirst air chamber 61, and then supplied from thefirst air chamber 61 to thesecond air chamber 62 via the plurality ofair channels 64 provided as an orifice (flow adjusting section). Accordingly, after distributing the compressed air to some degree in the peripheral direction in the ring-shaped first air chamber 61 (i.e., after moderating a pressure difference to some degree in the peripheral direction), the compressed air can be supplied to thesecond air chamber 62. In particular, in the present embodiment, the plurality ofair channels 64 are arranged at equal interval in the peripheral direction of the ring-shapedsecond air chamber 62. Thus, since the compressed air can be supplied to thesecond air chamber 62 equally in the peripheral direction, disproportion or unevenness of the air pressure in thesecond air chamber 62 can be eliminated. As a result, the amount of the compressed air injected from the whirlingflow generation nozzles 27 can be equalized. - In the present embodiment, a total cross-sectional area of the plurality of
air channels 64 is greater than a total cross-sectional area of the plurality of whirlingflow generation nozzles 27. Accordingly, when the compressed air is introduced into the whirlingflow generation nozzles 27, the amount of the airflow is squeezed. Thus, the air pressure inside thesecond air chamber 62 located upstream can be further equalized. As a result, the amount of the compressed air injected from the whirlingflow generation nozzles 27 can be further equalized. - Next, an operation of spinning the
fiber bundle 8 by the above-describedspinning section 9 will be described. - First, under a state in which a
fiber bundle 8 has not been introduced into the spinning section 9 (illustrated inFig. 3 ), the compressed air is supplied from the not-illustrated compressed air source, and further injected to the spinningchamber 26 by the whirlingflow generation nozzles 27. Thus, the whirling airflow is generated in the spinningchamber 26, and airflow flowing downward in the drawing ofFig. 3 is generated. Accordingly, the spinningchamber 26 is decompressed by Bernoulli's theory, and suction flow is generated in theguide hole 21. In this state, when thefiber bundle 8 is fed from thedraft device 7 to thespinning section 9, thefiber bundle 8 is sucked into theguide hole 21 and guided to the spinningchamber 26. Thefiber bundle 8 introduced into the spinningchamber 26 passes through theyarn path 29, and is eventually discharged from the not-illustrated outlet hole to the outside of thespinning section 9. - A yarn end discharged from the outlet hole of the
spinning section 9 is caught by thesuction pipe 44 of theyarn splicing cart 3, and spliced with a yarn end of thepackage 45 by thesplicer 43. Accordingly, thefiber bundle 8 or the spunyarn 10 is connected from thefront roller 18 to theyarn feeding device 11 via theguide hole 21, the spinningchamber 26, and theyarn path 29. In this state, by applying a feeding force to the spunyarn 10 by theyarn feeding device 11 towards the downstream side, tension is applied to the spunyarn 10, and the spunyarn 10 is sequentially fed from thespinning section 9. - As illustrated in
Fig. 4 , thefiber bundle 8 fed from thefront roller 18 of thedraft device 7 towards the downstream side enters the spinningchamber 26 through theguide hole 21, and the whirling flow generated by the whirlingflow generation nozzles 27 acts upon thefiber bundle 8. Accordingly, one end of each of short fibers is separated and opened relative to long fibers defined as core fibers of thefiber bundle 8. The short fibers are swung around in the whirlingflow generation chamber 25, and twists are applied to the fibers. Such twists tend to be propagated towards thefront roller 18, however, the propagation is prevented by theneedle 22. Therefore, thefiber bundle 8 fed from thefront roller 18 is not twisted in by such twists. As described above, theneedle 22 has a twist propagation preventing function. However, such a twist propagation preventing function is not limited to theneedle 22, and may be achieved by other structures. - Such twisted fibers are sequentially produced into a truly-twisted yarn, in which most of the fibers are wound fibers. Such a truly-twisted yarn passes through the
yarn path 29 as the spunyarn 10, and then, the spunyarn 10 is discharged from the not-illustrated outlet hole to the downstream side. After passing through theyarn feeding device 11 ofFig. 1 , the spunyarn 10 is wound by the windingdevice 12 and eventually formed into thepackage 45. Further, there are fibers that are not twisted into the spunyarn 10 due to breakage or the like that occurs when the short fibers are opened or when the twists are applied. Such fibers are fed from the whirlingflow generation chamber 25 to theair discharging space 55 by the whirling flow generated by the whirlingflow generation nozzles 27, and then, discharged via thepipe 60 by the suction of the negative-pressure source. - As described above, the spinning machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes the spinning
chamber 26, thehollow guide spindle 20, thefirst air chamber 61, thesecond air chamber 62, the plurality ofair channels 64, and the plurality of whirlingflow generation nozzles 27. The compressed air is supplied to thefirst air chamber 61. Each of the plurality ofair channels 64 connects thefirst air chamber 61 and thesecond air chamber 62. Each of the plurality of whirlingflow generation nozzles 27 connects thesecond air chamber 62 and the spinningchamber 26. - As described above, the compressed air can be supplied from the plurality of
air channels 64 to thesecond air chamber 62. Thus, the amount of the airflow injected from the plurality of whirlingflow generation nozzles 27 into the spinningchamber 26 can be equalized, and even if the amount of the airflow increases, the spinning operation and the suction operation can be stably performed. As a result, the quality of the spunyarn 10 produced by spinning thefiber bundle 8 in the spinningchamber 26 can be maintained in good condition. - In the spinning machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the total cross-sectional area of the plurality of
air channels 64 is greater than the total cross-sectional area of the plurality of whirlingflow generation nozzles 27. Therefore, the pressure inside thesecond air chamber 62 can be equalized in good condition, and the amount of the airflow injected from the plurality of whirlingflow generation nozzles 27 can be further equalized. - In the spinning machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the spinning
chamber 26 is formed in a substantially round shape in cross section. Thesecond air chamber 62 is formed in a ring shape around the spinningchamber 26. Theair channels 64 are arranged at equal interval in the peripheral direction of thesecond air chamber 62. Thus, the compressed air can be supplied to thesecond air chamber 26 equally in the peripheral direction. As a result, the air pressure inside thesecond air chamber 62 can be equalized in good condition, and the amount of the airflow injected from the plurality of whirlingflow generation nozzles 27 into thesecond air chamber 26 can be equalized. - In the spinning machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the
first air chamber 61 is formed in a ring shape outside thesecond air chamber 62 in the radial direction of thesecond air chamber 62. Accordingly, a device that is compact in the traveling direction of the fiber bundle or of the spun yarn can be provided. - The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, however, for example, the above-described structures may be modified as follows.
- The number of the whirling
flow generation nozzles 27 and the number ofair channels 64 are not limited to those in the above-described embodiment, but may be appropriately changed. - The air channels, which connect the first air chamber and the second air chamber, are not necessarily required to be arranged at equal interval as long as a plurality of air channels are provided. However, from the standpoint of equally supplying the compressed air to the second air chamber, it is preferable to arrange the air channels at equal interval in the peripheral direction of the second air chamber as described in the above embodiment.
- Instead of forming the first air chamber around the second air chamber, for example, the first air chamber may be formed downstream in the yarn traveling direction (lower side in the drawing of
Fig. 3 ) relative to the second air chamber, and the first air chamber and the second air chamber may be connected by a plurality of air channels formed parallel to the yarn traveling direction. However, from the standpoint of downsizing the spinning section in the yarn traveling direction and the standpoint of having the airflow to smoothly flow from the compressed air supplying pipe to the whirling flow generation nozzles, the first air chamber is preferably arranged around the second air chamber. - In the above-described embodiment, the position of the
ring member 63 is not fixed in the peripheral direction. Accordingly, a positional relationship of theair channels 64 and the whirlingflow generation nozzles 27 is not limited to the positional relationship illustrated inFig. 5 . However, when fixing the position of thering member 63 in the peripheral direction, it is preferable that an opening end of theair channel 64 and an opening end of the whirlingflow generation nozzle 27 do not face one another as illustrated inFig. 5 . Accordingly, the airflow from theair channels 64 does not directly flow into the whirlingflow generation nozzles 27. As a result, the amount of the compressed air injected from the whirlingflow generation nozzles 27 can be further equalized.
