Definitions

  • the invention relates to a combing device for combing a Faserermateri- äls according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a combing machine whereby a tear-off roller cooperates with a tear-off segment of a combing roller for the tear-off process, has already been developed by Heilmann in 1845.
  • a tear-off roller here tear-off cylinder
  • the fiber package torn off by a tear-off roller in cooperation with a tear-off segment was delivered to a subsequent pair of rolls where connected to the end of an already formed web, or is soldered.
  • the pair of rollers is driven by a pilgrim step movement.
  • the nipper unit is fixedly mounted in the machine frame, while the rip-off roller, which cooperates with a tear-off, performs a horizontal movement relative to the nipper unit during the combing process.
  • the tear-off roller moves only in the radial direction of the combing cylinder, while the nipper unit moves in the horizontal direction to the tear-off roller.
  • the Kämmyorgang and the tearing off in relation to the distance between the pliers and the clamping point of the tear-off roller should be better coordinated.
  • the ends of the tear-off roller are stored in sleeves, which are received in forks. In addition, the sleeves, to achieve the clamping effect of the tear-off rollers, acted upon by weight-loaded hooks.
  • the size of the ecartement ultimately determines the length of the tuft protruding from the closed tongs for the combing process and thus has a direct influence on the height of the noil content (proportion of combed fibers).
  • this setting is absolutely necessary in order to achieve the desired quality of a combing machine belt for the subsequent process stages.
  • it is necessary to precisely adjust the proportion of noil content in order to avoid unnecessary separation, in particular To avoid that of good fibers (long fibers), which would bring a reduction in productivity.
  • the setting of the Ecartement depends on the fiber material, which is presented to the combing machine for processing. Criteria such as the weight of the wadding, the pile (fiber length fraction) and the structure (fiber layer, uniformity) of the wadding provided must be taken into consideration.
  • the invention thus has the object to improve known designs and to propose a device based on the known Heilmann design, which makes it possible to perform a Ecartement setting even with a fixed lower pliers plate, so the machine to different material templates exactly adjust.
  • This object is achieved by proposing that the tear-off roller is mounted in a, in the radial direction of the combing cylinder movably mounted, loaded with loading means recording, wherein the receptacle is in communication with an adjusting device, via which the distance between the tear-off roller and the lower pliers plate is adjustable.
  • the proposed movably mounted receptacle for the tear roller can thus be made on the one hand, the already known radial delivery to Abreisssegment.
  • the adjustment of the distance (Ecartement) between the lower tong plate and the clamping point between the tear roller and tear-off allows.
  • the Heilmann method is universally applicable and can be used with today's constructive knowledge for higher Kammspielbread, as long as the subsequent soldering process is tuned accordingly. This gives an advantageous combination of the device for the delivery of Ab- Tear roller for tear-off segment in conjunction with the simultaneous adjustment of Ecartement.
  • the loading means are designed as bellows cylinders, which are acted upon by compressed air via a compressed air source and which are supported in each case with its one end directly or indirectly on the machine frame and with its other end on the receptacle.
  • the receptacle consists of two pivoted on one axis levers, the axes are mounted on the machine frame or on an associated with the machine frame element and each lever has a bearing point for the storage of the tear-off, which is between them Bearing points extends.
  • the axes are mounted for the lever on a pivotally mounted in the machine frame frame, at which at a distance to the Axes guide elements are provided for the levers, each having a stop surface which limits the pivotal movement of the arms in the direction of the combing cylinder and the bellows cylinder are fastened with its one end to the pivotable frame and the other end is supported on a support surface of the respective arm , which is located above the bearings of the tear-off roller.
  • the respective support surface has an opening into which an extension projecting beyond the end face of the respective bellows cylinder protrudes when it rests on the support surface.
  • guide elements are mounted on the axis of the combing cylinder in a rotationally fixed manner, which are formed as cams which surround the circumferential surface of the tear-off roll at a radial distance from the axis of rotation of the combing cylinder lead if the tear-off roller is outside the circumference of the tear-off segment.
  • the axes of the pivotable lever via an adjusting device are adjustable in their position. In this case, a design is conceivable, wherein the respective axis is mounted eccentrically on a rotatably mounted adjusting disc and at least one means for fixing the adjusting disc is provided.

  • a common actuator for all combing devices for a simultaneous adjustment of the distance between the tear-off rollers and the lower tong plates is provided in all combing devices. Since all the combing heads usually have the same material for processing, the same ecartement must be set everywhere. Therefore, a central setting of advantage and allows a quick and easy adaptation of all side by side working combing heads.

Le cylindre de détachement (8) susceptible d’être sollicité par des moyens de sollicitation (B1, B2) peut être rapproché du segment de détachement pour former une ligne de serrage (KL). L’invention propose d’effectuer un réglage sur différents matériaux. A cet effet, le cylindre de détachement (8) est monté dans un logement (10) monté mobile dans la direction radiale du cylindre de peignage (16) et sollicité par des moyens de sollicitation (B1, B2), le logement étant relié à un dispositif de commande (17) par l'intermédiaire duquel l’écart (E, E1) entre le cylindre de détachement (8) et la plaque porte-pince inférieure (2) peut être réglé.
