Definitions

  • the invention relates to a friction disk for use in a false twist device for false twist generation on a running multifilament yarn, in particular synthetic yarn, in which the yarn runs over the friction surface of the friction disk.
  • False twist devices are generally used to generate the false twist, in which case the thread is drawn over the peripheral surfaces, the friction surfaces, and rotating friction discs which overlap. The speeds of the friction discs can reach up to 14,000 rpm.
  • Such false twist devices are for example from the DE 27 08 204 B known.
  • the friction discs may consist of different materials, wherein, depending on the material and roughness of the friction surface, the threads are subjected to different levels of stress.
  • Friction discs made of a hard material such as ceramic or metal usually produce abrasion and therefore stress the threads stronger than, for example, soft friction discs made of polyurethane, which experience through the threads wear. While the friction discs made of hard materials can usually last well over seven years, the polyurethane friction discs need to be replaced after about 8 to 9 months.
  • friction discs made of hard materials have the disadvantage that the surface structure of the peripheral surface, the friction surface, is increasingly smeared and smoothed by the thread abrasion, which is called glacing effect.
  • the object of the invention is to introduce a friction disk which is as gentle on the thread as a friction disk made of soft material and nevertheless has a service life such as a friction disk made of a hard material.
  • the friction disk has at least one recess which reduces the friction surface on its friction surface
  • the contact surface of the disk with the yarn is interrupted and divided into several sections.
  • the abrasion and thus the risk of blending the entire friction surface, the Glacing effect are completely avoided or at least significantly reduced because the abrasion no longer, as usual, at the edges, at the transitions from the friction surface to the plan top. and bases of the friction disk settles.
  • the friction surface is interrupted and thereby form each two new transitions, whereby the discontinuation of the abrasion is distributed over more places. This in turn contributes significantly to the reduction of yarn breaks.
  • the recess is a groove.
  • the groove is circumferentially formed on the peripheral surface of the friction disk, that is, the friction disk has at least one extending over the entire circumference of the friction disk groove. But there may also be several circumferential grooves.
  • the friction surface has two grooves. The grooves can be arranged at equal distances from the edge of the friction disk and from each other. Another distance arrangement depends on the number of grooves, their depth and width. The grooves can be the same. The grooves can be endless.
  • the grooved friction discs according to the invention have the same width as the conventional friction discs. By the grooves but the looped by the thread surface, the friction surface is reduced. For example, if the friction disk has a width of 9 mm, the actual friction surface of two grooves of 1.5 mm width decreases to 6 mm, although the theoretically wrapped surface still remains 9 mm. For this reason, the friction discs according to the invention are particularly suitable for microfilaments and for high texturing speeds, which can be up to 1000 m / min and higher.
  • the cross section of the grooves may be, for example, V-shaped, U-shaped or rectangular.
  • a different arrangement of the grooves, their width or depth, may be provided depending on the yarn path and thread material.
  • the contact surface of the disc is interrupted with the thread and divided into several sections.
  • the abrasion and thus the risk of blending the entire friction surface, the Glacing effect are inventively completely avoided or at least considerably reduced, because the abrasion no longer, as usual, at the edges, at the transitions from the friction surface to the plane upper - and undersides of the friction disc settles.
  • the friction surface is interrupted and thereby form each two new transitions, whereby the discontinuation of the abrasion is distributed over more places. This in turn contributes significantly to the reduction of yarn breaks.
  • a uniform yarn path is achieved with a constant yarn tension, such as For example, in the false twist generation on a polyamide yarn, PA6 78/18 black, and a yarn of polybutylene terephthalate, PBT 42/24 glossy, has been demonstrated.
  • the yarn tension is in front of and behind a friction disk according to the invention at the same or somewhat lower level as in a polyurethane disk and remains constant even after a long service life.
  • the material of the friction disc and its width, the number of grooves, their width and their depth can be adjusted.
  • transitions of the grooves to the friction surface are rounded so that the thread runs over no sharp edges.
  • the thread run is also the rounding radius of the friction surface to the flat surfaces, the side surfaces, the friction disc.
  • the surface roughness of the friction surface is, matched to the thread material, preferably between 0.1 .mu.m and 2.0 .mu.m, preferably at 0.85 .mu.m.
  • the material is an oxide ceramic, such as alumina.
  • the material may also be a metal or a plastic.
  • FIG. 1 is a friction disk 1 according to the invention in an enlarged scale, partially cut, shown.
  • the diameter 2 is 52 mm and the width 3 is 9 mm.
  • the peripheral surface, the friction surface 4 is rounded, in the present embodiment with a radius 5 of about 6 mm ( Fig. 2 ). The caused by this radius wrap angle allows a gentle threadline.
  • the friction disk 1 has two grooves 6 on the friction surface 4.
  • the FIG. 2 shows a section of the friction surface 4 in an even enlarged scale.
  • the grooves 6 are both gleichgeartet and have a width 7 of about 1.5 mm, a depth of about 3 mm and an opening angle 9 of the side walls 10 to the friction surface 4 out of 10 degrees.
  • the center distance 11 of the grooves 6 from each other is 4 mm and their center distance 12 from the edge 13 2.5 mm.
  • the transitions 14 of the side walls 10 of the grooves 6 to the friction surface 4 are rounded off.
  • the radius of these transitions 14 in a preferred embodiment is equal to or less than 0.3 mm.
  • 0.2 mm have been found for the radius of the transitions 14 to be particularly advantageous.
  • the surface roughness Ra of the friction surface in In one embodiment, the area of the yarn path is preferably 0.85 ⁇ 0.2 ⁇ m.
  • oxide ceramics such as zirconium oxide, silicon oxide, or nitride ceramics such as silicon nitride or SiAlONs.
  • metallic materials for example of molybdenum or chromium-nickel steels
  • the friction surfaces can be protected against wear by hard deposits of ceramic or diamond.
  • the idea according to the invention of introducing grooves into the friction surface of a friction disk can actually be applied to all materials suitable for friction disks.
  • the thread tension T1 before the false twist device, could be reduced by 10% to 20% compared to conventional friction discs.
  • the friction groove according to the invention with two grooves is almost insensitive to changes in the D / Y ratio, the ratio of wheel peripheral speed to yarn speed.
  • groove or grooves are that they run helically, such as a thread, on the peripheral surface of the friction disk.
  • the course of the groove or grooves may be identical to the direction of rotation of the friction disc or opposite her.
  • the grooves can be catchy or more continuous (parallel to each other). Beginning and end of the groove or grooves can, seen in the axial direction, lie one above the other or from each other.
  • a thread of a groove may have less than one turn, one turn or more than one turn.
