Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a yarn winding machine for forming a wound package by winding a traveling yarn.
  • One type of conventionally-known yarn winding machine includes a winding device for forming a package by winding a traveling yarn, and a yarn accumulating device for temporarily accumulating the yarn to be wound by the winding device.
  • a spinning machine described in Patent Document 1 includes a spinning device, a winding device, a yarn clearer, a cutter, a yarn splicing device, and a yarn accumulating device (a yarn slack eliminating device) .
  • the winding device winds the yarn fed out from the spinning device.
  • the yarn clearer detects a yarn defect. When the yarn clearer detects a yarn defect, the cutter cuts the yarn.
  • the yarn splicing device splices an upstream yarn end (a yarn end at a spinning machine side) and a downstream yarn end (a yarn end at a winding device side) together.
  • the yarn accumulating device is arranged between the winding device and the cutter.
  • the yarn accumulating device includes a yarn accumulating roller (a slack eliminating roller), around which a yarn is wound, and a sensor (a wound amount sensor) for detecting an amount of yarn wound around the yarn accumulating roller.
  • a yarn accumulating roller a slack eliminating roller
  • a sensor a wound amount sensor
  • Patent Document 1 Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2009-242041 ( FIG. 1 , Paragraph [0025])
  • the yarn wound around the yarn accumulating roller at the package side is unwound from the yarn accumulating roller and is usually wound into the package.
  • the yarn defect is present in a yarn portion at the package side. Yarn strength of the yarn portion is partially lowered at such a yarn defect portion. Therefore, the yarn may break at the yarn defect portion when the yarn portion is wound into the package, and a portion of the yarn portion may remain on the yarn accumulating roller.
  • Patent Document 1 The yarn accumulating device described in Patent Document 1 includes a sensor for detecting the amount of yarn wound around the yarn accumulating roller during winding of the package.
  • Patent Document 1 neither discloses nor suggests a problem that a small amount of yarn portion remaining on the yarn accumulating roller may be wound into the package when a yarn defect is detected and the yarn is cut, and a means for solving such a problem.
  • Yarn winding machines are further also disclosed in EP 2 298 971 and EP 2 354 069 , which is prior art under Article 54(3) EPC.
  • the yarn winding machine includes a winding device, a yarn defect detecting device, a cutting device, a yarn splicing device, a yarn accumulating device, and a control device.
  • the winding device forms a package by winding a traveling yarn.
  • the yarn defect detecting device detects a defect in the yarn to be wound by the winding device.
  • the cutting device cuts the yarn when the yarn defect detecting device detects a yarn defect.
  • the yarn splicing device splices an upstream yarn end and a downstream yarn end together after the yarn cut by the cutting device.
  • the yarn accumulating device is arranged between the winding device and the cutting device and temporarily accumulates the yarn to be wound by the winding device.
  • the control device controls the yarn winding machine.
  • the yarn accumulating device includes a yarn accumulating roller and a yarn detecting sensor.
  • the yarn accumulating roller is provided rotatable and winds the yarn around a surface thereof.
  • the yarn detecting sensor detects the yarn on the surface of the yarn accumulating roller.
  • the control device determines whether or not to control the yarn splicing device to carry out yarn splicing in accordance with a detection result of the yarn detecting sensor.
  • the control device prevents the yarn splicing device from carrying out yarn splicing. Accordingly, when resuming the winding of the package, the remaining yarn portion can be prevented from being wound into the package.
  • the yarn winding machine includes a fluid blowing device which blows fluid to the surface of the yarn accumulating roller after the yarn cut by the cutting device. According to such a configuration, even if a yarn portion is remaining at a position located away from a yarn detecting position of the yarn detecting sensor, the yarn portion can be moved to the yarn detecting position of the yarn detecting sensor by flow of the fluid blown from the fluid blowing device. Alternatively, by blowing the fluid by the fluid blowing device to the surface of the yarn accumulating roller, the yarn portion remaining on the surface of the yarn accumulating roller can be removed.
  • the yarn winding machine includes a yarn splicing cart equipped with the yarn splicing device and the fluid blowing device.
  • the control device controls the yarn splicing cart to travel closer to the yarn accumulating roller and controls the fluid blowing device to blow the fluid to the surface of the yarn accumulating roller.
  • the control device controls the yarn splicing device to carry out yarn splicing.
  • the control device determines that yarn splicing should not be carried out, and prevents the yarn splicing cart from travelling. Only if the yarn is not detected, the control device controls the yarn splicing cart to travel closer to the yarn accumulating roller. However, at the time of the yarn detection made before the travelling of the yarn splicing cart, there may be a case in which the yarn was not detected by the yarn detecting sensor due to the yarn remaining at the position located away from the yarn detecting position of the yarn detecting sensor.
  • the yarn splicing device is controlled to carry out yarn splicing.
  • the fluid blowing device blows the fluid to the yarn accumulating roller such that the fluid flows from a position, which is located away from the yarn detecting position of the yarn detecting sensor on the surface of the yarn accumulating roller, towards the yarn detecting position. Accordingly, even if a yarn portion is remaining at the position located away from the yarn detecting position of the yarn detecting sensor on the surface of the yarn accumulating roller, the fluid blown from the fluid blowing device moves the yarn portion to the yarn detecting position of the yarn detecting sensor. Consequently, the yarn portion remaining on the surface of the yarn accumulating roller can be reliably detected by the yarn detecting sensor.
  • the fluid blowing device includes a first nozzle and a second nozzle.
  • the first nozzle blows the fluid to a first end portion of the yarn accumulating roller in a rotational axis direction thereof.
  • the second nozzle blows the fluid to a second end portion of the yarn accumulating roller in the rotational axis direction thereof.
  • a position of a fluid injecting section of the first nozzle is displaced from a position of a fluid injecting section of the second nozzle.
  • the position of the fluid injecting section of the first nozzle is displaced from the position of the fluid injecting section of the second nozzle in the peripheral direction of the yarn accumulating roller, which allows the yarn remaining on the surface of the yarn accumulating roller to move to the yarn detecting position of the yarn detecting sensor.
  • the control device controls the yarn accumulating roller to rotate.
  • a position where the fluid collides with the yarn portion remaining on the yarn accumulating roller i.e., a position where the fluid acts
  • the yarn portion vibrates in the rotational axis direction of the yarn accumulating roller, and the yarn portion is easily detected by the yarn detecting sensor.
  • the yarn detecting sensor is a reflective photo sensor including a light emitting element and a light receiving element.
  • the light emitting element is arranged to irradiate light to a prescribed position on the yarn accumulating roller that is located in a middle portion of the yarn accumulating roller in its rotational axis direction.
  • the yarn detecting sensor can detect whether or not the yarn is wound to the prescribed position on the yarn accumulating roller during winding of the package by the winding device.
  • the photo sensor for detecting whether or not the yarn is wound to the prescribed position on the yarn accumulating roller (i.e., whether or not at least a prescribed amount of yarn is wound) during winding of the package by the winding device is also used as the yarn detecting sensor for detecting the yarn remaining on the yarn accumulating roller after yarn cut by the cutting device. Accordingly, without increasing the number of sensors, the yarn portion remaining on the yarn accumulating roller can be detected at the time of yarn cut.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view of a spinning machine according to an embodiment.
  • a spinning machine 1 (a yarn winding machine) includes a plurality of spinning units 2 which are arranged next to one another, a yarn splicing cart 3, a blower box 4, and a motor box 5.
  • the yarn splicing cart 3 is arranged capable of travelling along a direction in which the spinning units 2 are arranged next to one another.
  • each spinning unit 2 includes a draft device 6, a spinning device 7, a cutter 10 (a cutting device) , a yarn clearer 11 (a yarn defect detecting device) , a slack eliminating device 8 (a yarn accumulating device) , a winding device 12, and the like.
  • upstream and downstream refer to an upstream side and a downstream side in a travelling direction of a yarn at the time of spinning, respectively.
  • the draft device 6 is arranged close to an upper end portion of a casing 13 of a main body of the spinning machine 1.
  • a sliver 14 fed to the draft device 6 is drafted into a fiber bundle 15 by the draft device 6.
  • the fiber bundle 15 is spun by the spinning device 7, thereby producing a spun yarn 16.
  • the spun yarn 16 is wound by the winding device 12 at a downstream side, thereby forming a package 17.
  • the draft device 6 includes four rollers i.e. a back roller 22, a third roller 23, a middle roller 25 provided with an apron belt 24, and a front roller 26, which are arranged in this order along a travelling direction of the sliver 14 (the fiber bundle 15).
  • the apron belt 24 is wound around the middle roller 25 and a tensor bar 27.
  • the tensor bar 27 is urged in a direction departing away from the middle roller 25, thereby applying a prescribed tension to the apron belt 24.
  • a detailed configuration of the spinning device 7 will not be illustrated in the drawings; however, the present embodiment adopts a pneumatic type spinning device that use whirling airflow to apply twists to the fiber bundle 15 in order to produce the spun yarn 16.
  • the cutter 10 and the yarn clearer 11 are arranged downstream of the spinning device 7.
  • the yarn clearer 11 is configured so as to monitor thickness of the travelling spun yarn 16 and detect a thin yarn portion or a thick yarn portion of the spun yarn 16 (i.e., a yarn defect in the spun yarn 16). If the yarn clearer 11 detects a yarn defect, the yarn clearer 11 transmits a yarn defect detection signal to a unit controller 21 (refer to FIG. 6 ). When the unit controller 21 receives the yarn defect detection signal, the unit controller 21 immediately activates the cutter 10, and controls the cutter 10 to cut the spun yarn 16.
  • the slack eliminating device 8 is arranged between the cutter 10 and the winding device 12.
  • the slack eliminating device 8 includes a slack eliminating roller 30 (a yarn accumulating roller). By winding a prescribed amount of spun yarn 16 produced by the spinning device 7 around the slack eliminating roller 30, the slack eliminating device 8 temporarily accumulates the spun yarn 16 and adjusts yarn tension. Further, the slack eliminating device 8 also has a function to pull out the spun yarn 16 to a downstream side from the spinning device 7 by actively driving and rotating the slack eliminating roller 30 around which the spun yarn 16 is wound. A detailed description on the slack eliminating device 8 will be made later.
  • a travelling yarn detecting sensor 28 for detecting the spun yarn 16 travelling towards the winding device 12 is arranged downstream of the slack eliminating device 8.
  • the winding device 12 includes a winding drum 18 and a cradle 19 for rotatably supporting a bobbin.
  • the winding drum 18 rotates while making contact with a surface of the bobbin (or a surface of a yarn layer wound around the bobbin) to thereby rotate the bobbin such that the traveling spun yarn 16 is wound around the bobbin to form the package 17.
  • the yarn splicing cart 3 is equipped with a yarn splicing device 92, a suction pipe 93, and a suction mouth 94. As illustrated in FIG. 1 , the yarn splicing cart 3 is arranged so as to travel on a rail 91 arranged on the casing 13 of the main body of the spinning machine 1. When yarn breakage or yarn cut occurs in a certain spinning unit 2, the yarn splicing cart 3 travels to such spinning unit 2 and then stops.
  • the suction pipe 93 While swinging around a shaft in a vertical direction, the suction pipe 93 sucks and catches a yarn end of the spun yarn 16 discharged from the spinning device 7 (a yarn end on an upstream side), and guides the yarn end to the yarn splicing device 92. While swinging around a shaft in a vertical direction, the suction mouth 94 sucks and catches a yarn end of the spun yarn 16 from the package 17 supported rotatable by the winding device 12 (a yarn end on a downstream side) , and guides the yarn end to the yarn splicing device 92. The yarn splicing device 92 splices the guided yarn ends together. Further, the suction pipe 93 and suction mouth 94 are connected to a negative-pressure source accommodated in the blower box 4 and obtain suction force to suck a yarn end from the negative-pressure source.
  • the blower box 4 is arranged in one end of the arrangement of the plurality of spinning units 2.
  • the negative-pressure source including a blower, a filter, and the like is accommodated in the blower box 4.
  • the negative-pressure source is connected to a cleaning suction pipe (not illustrated in the drawings) for sucking and removing yarn waste and fiber waste generated by the draft device 6 or the slack eliminating device 8.
  • the negative-pressure source is also connected to the suction pipe 93 and the suction mouth 94 of the yarn splicing cart 3, and the like.
  • the motor box 5 is arranged in the other end of the arrangement of the plurality of spinning units 2 that is opposite from the side where the blower box 4 is arranged.
  • a motor for respectively driving the front roller 26 and the middle roller 25 of the draft device 6 of each of the plurality of spinning unit 2 is accommodated in the motor box 5.
  • the motor box 5 has a main control section 96 provided with a control panel 151.
  • the main control section 96 transmits and receives signals with the unit controller 21 of each spinning unit 2 and the yarn splicing cart 3, and performs operation control and state monitoring of the each spinning unit 2 and the yarn splicing cart 3.
  • the slack eliminating device 8 includes the slack eliminating roller 30 (the yarn accumulating roller), a yarn hooking member 31, an upstream guide 32, a downstream guide 33, and a yarn detecting sensor 34.
  • the slack eliminating roller 30 is a metallic cylindrical roller.
  • the yarn hooking member 31 has a tip end formed capable of being engaged with the spun yarn 16 (i.e., a tip end formed capable of hooking the spun yarn 16).
  • the yarn hooking member 31 is mounted on a downstream end portion of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the yarn hooking member 31 rotates integrally with the slack eliminating roller 30, which makes it possible to wind the spun yarn 16 around an outer peripheral surface of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • both end portions of the slack eliminating roller 30 in an axial direction thereof are formed in a tapered shape in which the diameter continuously increases from a center side of the slack eliminating roller 30 towards an end side thereof. If the spun yarn 16 is wound from an upstream end portion of the slack eliminating roller 30 with a larger diameter, the wound spun yarn 16 is fed to the downstream end portion of the slack eliminating roller 30 by the taper-shaped upstream end portion. Accordingly, a prescribed amount of spun yarn 16 is temporarily accumulated on the slack eliminating roller 30. As described above, the spun yarn 16 is wound around the slack eliminating roller 30, thereby restricting fluctuation of yarn tension at upstream of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the slack eliminating roller 30 is driven and actively rotated by the motor 36, whereby the wound spun yarn 16 is unwound from the downstream end portion of the slack eliminating roller 30, and fed to the winding device 12. That is, the slack eliminating roller 30 also functions as a feed roller for feeding the spun yarn 16 fed from the spinning device 7 to the winding device 12.
  • the upstream guide 32 is arranged on the bracket 35, which supports the slack eliminating roller 30, and arranged slightly upstream of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the upstream guide 32 appropriately guides the spun yarn 16 to the outer peripheral surface of the slack eliminating roller 30. Further, the upstream guide 32 also functions as twist prevention for preventing twists of the spun yarn 16 transmitted from the spinning device 7 from propagating to a downstream side of the upstream guide 32.
  • the downstream guide 33 is also arranged on the bracket 35.
  • the downstream guide 33 is arranged downstream of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the downstream guide 33 guides the spun yarn 16 unwound from the slack eliminating roller 30 to the winding device 12.
  • the yarn detecting sensor 34 is a reflective photo sensor (a photo interrupter) including a light emitting element 41 and a light receiving element 42 which are accommodated in a case 44a and a case 44b, respectively.
  • An opening 40a through which light of the light emitting element 41 passes is formed on a surface (a light emitting surface) of the case 44a at a slack eliminating roller 30 side.
  • An opening 40b through which incoming light reflected from the slack eliminating roller 30 passes to the light receiving element 42 is formed on a surface (a light receiving surface) of the case 44b at the slack eliminating roller 30 side. Accordingly, light emitted to the outside from the light emitting element 41 through the opening 40a is reflected from the surface of the slack eliminating roller 30, and then the reflected light is received by the light receiving element 42 through the opening 40b.
  • the light emitting element 41 is arranged to irradiate light to a prescribed position on the yarn accumulating roller 30 that is located in a middle portion of the yarn accumulating roller 30 in its rotational axis direction. If the spun yarn 16 is present at the prescribed position, the irradiated light from the light emitting element 41 hits the spun yarn 16, and is reflected from the spun yarn 16. A reflection rate in such a case is lower than a reflection rate in a case in which the spun yarn 16 is not present and light is directly reflected from the surface of the metallic slack eliminating roller 30. Therefore, an amount of light received by the light receiving element 42 decreases.
  • the yarn detecting sensor 34 can detect from changes in the amount of light received by the receiving element 42, whether or not the spun yarn 16 is wound to the prescribed position (a yarn detecting position) on the outer peripheral surface of the slack eliminating roller 30 that is located in a middle portion of the yarn accumulating roller 30 and whether or not at least a prescribed amount of spun yarn 16 is accumulated.
  • the yarn clearer 11 detects a yarn defect in the spun yarn 16 and the spun yarn 16 is cut by the cutter 10, a very small amount of yarn portion may remain on the slack eliminating roller 30 as will be described below.
  • the spun yarn 16 at the package 17 side is normally unwound from the slack eliminating roller 30 and wound into the package 17.
  • the strength of the spun yarn 16 is partially lowered at such a yarn defect portion.
  • the spun yarn 16 may break at the yarn defect portion, and one yarn portion that is not wound into the package 17 may remain on the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the yarn portion remaining on the slack eliminating roller 30 moves towards the package 17 along with the spun yarn 16 fed after the resumption of the winding.
  • the yarn portion thus may be mixed in the package 17, thereby lowering the quality of the package 17.
  • the yarn detecting sensor 34 detects whether or not a small amount of yarn portion 16a is remaining on the surface of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • a determination as to whether or not to carry out yarn splicing by the yarn splicing device 92 is carried out according to a detection result of the yarn detecting sensor 34. A detailed description will be made later on such a determination on whether or not to carry out yarn splicing.
  • the yarn portion 16a that is present on the surface of the slack eliminating roller 30 is a small amount of spun yarn 16 wound on the slack eliminating roller 30 by about one to two times. It is preferable that the size of the opening 40a of the light emitting element 41 is determined such that the yarn portion 16a can be detected.
  • an irradiated range A on the slack eliminating roller 30 is defined by the opening 40a.
  • the opening 40a is formed in a slit shape that is long in one direction.
  • a width W1 in the shorter direction of the slit-shaped opening 40a is set such that a width W2 of the irradiated range A is substantially equal to a thickness D of the spun yarn 16.
  • the yarn detecting sensor 34 can reliably detect a very small amount of yarn portion 16a.
  • a longitudinal direction of the slit-shaped opening 40a and the yarn portion 16a of the spun yarn 16 to be detected are substantially parallel, an amount of yarn that falls within the irradiated range A increases and the detection accuracy of the yarn detecting sensor 34 is improved.
  • the spun yarn 16 is wound around the slack eliminating roller 30 during winding of the package 17 by the winding device 12, the spun yarn 16 is substantially parallel to a peripheral direction of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the longitudinal direction of the slit-shaped opening 40a is preferably parallel to the peripheral direction of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the yarn detecting sensor 34 for detecting whether or not at least a prescribed amount of spun yarn 16 is wound around the slack eliminating roller 30 during winding of the package 17 is also used as a sensor for detecting the spun yarn 16 remaining on the surface of the slack eliminating roller 30 at the time of yarn cut. Accordingly, without increasing the number of sensors, the yarn portion 16a remaining on the slack eliminating roller 30 can be detected at the time of yarn cut.
  • the yarn splicing cart 3 equipped with the yarn splicing device 92 travels to a position in a lower side of the slack eliminating roller 30 of the spinning unit 2. Further, the drafting of the sliver 14 (the production of fiber bundle 15) by the draft device 6 and the spinning by the spinning device 7 are resumed. The yarn end at the package 17 side and the yarn end of the spun yarn 16 newly fed from the spinning device 7 are spliced together by the yarn splicing device 92, and then the winding by the winding device 12 is resumed.
  • the yarn splicing cart 3 is provided with a first nozzle 45 and a second nozzle 46 (i.e., a fluid blowing device) for blowing air towards the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46 are respectively connected to an air supply source (not illustrated in the drawings) via a supply valve 47 (refer to FIG. 7 ) arranged on the yarn splicing cart 3.
  • Both the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46 blow air towards the outer peripheral surface of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the first nozzle 45 blows air towards the tapered upstream end portion of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • Such a blowing direction of the first nozzle 45 is a radial direction of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the second nozzle 46 blows air towards the tapered downstream end portion of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • a tip end portion (an air injecting section) of the second nozzle 46 is arranged to face to a middle portion of the slack eliminating roller 30 in the rotational axis direction thereof and arranged to be inclined with respect to the radial direction of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46 blow air towards the outer peripheral surface of the slack eliminating roller 30 from both end portions of the slack eliminating roller 30 in the axial direction thereof, thereby removing the yarn portion 16a of the spun yarn 16 remaining on the outer peripheral surface of the slack eliminating roller 30. Further, the yarn portion 16a removed from the slack eliminating roller 30 by the air blown from the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46 is sucked and discharged by a cleaning suction pipe (not illustrated in the drawings) arranged in the vicinity of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46 are arranged to sandwich the yarn detecting sensor 34 with respect to the rotational axis direction of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the air blown from the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46 to both end portions of the slack eliminating roller 30 flows over the outer peripheral surface of the slack eliminating roller 30 in the rotational axis direction thereof, and reaches a middle portion of the slack eliminating roller 30, which is an irradiating position of the light emitting element 41 of the yarn detecting sensor 34.
  • the yarn portion 16a is transferred to the yarn detecting position of the yarn detecting sensor 34 by the air blown from the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46. Consequently, the yarn portion 16a remaining on the surface of the slack eliminating roller 30 is reliably detected by the yarn detecting sensor 34.
  • a position of a tip end portion (an air injecting section) of the first nozzle 45 and a position of the tip end portion (the air injecting section) of the second nozzle 46 are the same with respect to the peripheral direction of the slack eliminating roller 30, air which is blown from the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46 to the slack eliminating roller 30 and flows in the axial direction of the slack eliminating roller 30 collides with each other on the surface of the slack eliminating roller 30. Accordingly, there are cases where the yarn portion 16a remaining on the surface of the slack eliminating roller 30 cannot move in the axial direction of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the spun yarn 16 may be stopped at the position located away from the yarn detecting position of the yarn detecting sensor 34.
  • the position of the tip end portion of the first nozzle 45 is thus arranged to be displaced from the position of the tip end portion of the second nozzle 46 in the peripheral direction of the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • the yarn portion 16a is pressed at two portions thereof by force of the air injected from the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46. Accordingly, the yarn portion 16a can move in the rotational axis direction of the slack eliminating roller 30.

  • the air blown from the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46 to the both end portions of the slack eliminating roller 30 flows along the outer peripheral surface of the slack eliminating roller 30 and reaches the middle portion of the slack eliminating roller 30 that is the yarn detecting position of the yarn detecting sensor 34. Therefore, even if the yarn portion 16a is remaining at the position located away from the yarn detecting position of the slack eliminating roller 30, the yarn portion 16a is transferred to the yarn detecting position.
  • the position of the tip end portion of the first nozzle 45 is displaced from the position of the tip end portion of the second nozzle 46. It is preferable that the slack eliminating roller 30 is rotated under such a state in which air is blown from the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46.
  • a position in which the air collides with the yarn portion 16a remaining on the surface of the slack eliminating roller 30 is continuously changed by the above-described rotation of the slack eliminating roller 30, thereby greatly vibrating the yarn portion 16a in the rotational axis direction of the slack eliminating roller 30 (i.e., a horizontal direction in FIG. 6 ) . Consequently, even if an initial position of the yarn portion 16a is located away from the yarn detecting position of the yarn detecting sensor 34 in the rotational axis direction of the slack eliminating roller 30, the yarn portion 16a can be easily detected by the yarn detecting sensor 34.
  • step S22 After the air is blown from the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46, if the yarn portion 16a is detected by the yarn detecting sensor 34 (step S22: Yes), the main control section 96 notifies the operator of such a state and urges the operator to remove the remaining yarn portion 16a from the slack eliminating roller 30 (operator call: step S23) . Then, when the operator removes the yarn portion 16a from the slack eliminating roller 30 and the abnormal state is solved, air is blown again from the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46 (step S21) . Furthermore, in step S22, a determination is carried out as to whether or not the yarn portion 16a is surely removed from the slack eliminating roller 30.
  • step S22 when the yarn portion 16a is not detected by the yarn detecting sensor 34 even if air is blown from the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46 (step S22: No), a determination is made that no yarn portion 16a is present on the surface of the slack eliminating roller 30. Then, the main control section 96 controls to start feeding and drafting of the sliver 14 by the draft device 6 and spinning by spinning device 7. A yarn end of the spun yarn 16 newly fed from the spinning device 7 and a yarn end at the package 17 side are spliced together by the yarn splicing device 92 (yarn splicing operation: step S24).
  • a determination as to whether or not such a yarn splicing operation has succeeded is carried out in accordance with detection results of the yarn detecting sensor 34 and the travelling yarn detecting sensor 28 (refer to FIG. 2 ) (step S25) . If the spun yarn 16 is detected by both the yarn detecting sensor 34 and the travelling yarn detecting sensor 28, a determination is made that the yarn splicing operation has succeeded. If the spun yarn 16 is not detected by either the yarn detecting sensor 34 or the travelling yarn detecting sensor 28, a determination is made that the yarn splicing operation has failed. If a determination is made that the yarn splicing operation has succeeded (step S25 : Yes), the winding operation of the package 17 by the winding device 12 is resumed.
  • step S25 If a determination is made that the yarn splicing operation has failed (step S25: No) , the abnormal state is notified to the operator, and the operator is urged to check components that are used during the yarn splicing operation by the yarn splicing device 92 and the like (operator call: step S26) . After the check by the operator is completed and the abnormal state is solved, the process proceeds onto step S21. Then, air is blown again from the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46 to the slack eliminating roller 30. At this point of time, a detection is carried out as to whether or not a small amount of yarn portion 16a, which may have been generated due to failure of the yarn splicing operation, is remaining on the surface of the slack eliminating roller 30. If the yarn portion 16a is not remaining on the slack eliminating roller 30, the yarn splicing operation is performed again (step S24).

  • the yarn splicing operation may be performed immediately without blowing air from the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46 (step S21) and detecting the yarn portion 16a by the yarn detecting sensor 34 (step S22) .
  • the yarn splicing operation may be performed immediately without blowing air from the first nozzle 45 and the second nozzle 46 (step S21) and detecting the yarn portion 16a by the yarn detecting sensor 34 (step S22) .
  • step S22 the detection of the yarn portion 16a is carried out again by the yarn detecting sensor 34 (step S22), and then the yarn splicing operation is carried out(step S24).

Consequently, after the travelling of the yarn splicing cart 3, detection of the yarn portion 16a by the yarn detecting sensor 34 and a determination as to whether or not a yarn splicing operation is performed are not required to be carried out again.
