Abstract

The bar (5) has a same thickness over an entire length in a fiber flow direction and an air passage direction. The thickness of the bar is widened in a fiber transport direction in a region in which fibers (6) are deposited, where the fibers slid along the bar in the transport direction. The thickness widening is increased around 40 percentage of a smallest thickness. An upper third of the bar is designed free for approaching of the fibers. A fiber column (3) is formed by passage of transport air.

Description

In der Textilindustrie werden beim Beschicken von Karden und Vliesbildemaschinen seit 50 Jahren Siebflächen zum Trennen von Fasern und Luft eingesetzt. Um das Rutschen von Fasern zu verbessern, setzt man auch Lamellen oder Trennstäbe ein. Das Patent DE 3304571 und die AS 1286436 zeigen solche Lamellen. Eine L-förmige Lamellenform ist stabil, hat aber eine geringere Öffnungsfläche als Trennflachstäbe, Die Flachstäbe haben einen geringeren Luftwiderstand. Nachteilig bei den Flachstäben ist ein Zusetzen der Stäbe nach einiger Zeit. Dies erfolgt dadurch, dass einzelne Fasern sich von der Faserseite her zu beiden Seiten eines Stabes um den Stab legen und sich die Enden durch Luftwirbel verzwirbein. Die verzwirbelten Fasern werden dann nicht mehr durch die an den Stäben vorbeiziehenden Faserflocken mitgenommen. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den guten Luftdurchlass zu erhalten und ein Verzwirbeln der Faserenden zu vermeiden. Bestehende Stäbe oder Roststäbe haben in Faserflussrichtung und Luftdurchtrittsrichtung die gleiche Tiefe über die ganze Länge. Erfindungsgemäß nimmt die Tiefe der Stäbe in Fasertransportrichtung zu. In der Praxis sind die Stäbe nur im oberen Drittel frei für den Faseranflug, danach hat sich eine Fasersäule gebildet. Die Verwirbelung der Faserenden erfordert eine Verweildauer. Durch die zunehmende Tiefe der Stäbe werden beim Herunterziehen der Fasern durch die nachfolgenden Faserflocken die Verzwirbelungen bereits kurz nach dem Entstehen wieder auseinandergezogen. Dies erfolgt noch, solange die Enden der Fasern nicht intensiv verzwirbelt sind.In the textile industry, wire feeders have been used to feed fibers and air for 50 years when loading cards and web-forming machines. To improve the slippage of fibers, one also uses lamellae or separating rods. The patent DE 3304571 and the AS 1286436 show such slats. An L-shaped lamella shape is stable, but has a smaller opening area than dividing flat bars, The flat bars have a lower air resistance. A disadvantage of the flat bars is a clogging of the bars after some time. This is done by placing individual fibers on the fiber side on either side of a rod around the rod and twisting the ends by air swirls. The twirled fibers are then no longer carried along by the fiber flocs passing by the rods. The object of the invention is to obtain the good air passage and to avoid a twirling of the fiber ends. Existing rods or grate bars have the same depth over the entire length in the fiber flow direction and the air passage direction. According to the invention, the depth of the bars in the fiber transport direction increases. In practice, the rods are free only in the upper third of the fiber approach, then a fiber column has formed. The turbulence of the fiber ends requires a residence time. As a result of the increasing depth of the rods, when the fibers are pulled down by the subsequent fiber flakes, the twists are pulled apart again shortly after they have formed. This is still done as long as the ends of the fibers are not intensely twisted.

Die Erfindung wird anhand zweier Zeichnungen beschrieben. Durch eine Einblasung 1) gelangen Fasern in einen Schacht 2). Die Transportluft tritt durch Stäbe 5) aus und es bildet sich einer Fasersäule 3), die durch eine Abzugseinrichtung 4) aus dem Schacht gezogen wird. Die Stäbe vergrößern sich entlang der Bewegungsrichtung 7) der Fasersäule in Richtung der Luftdurchströmung 8).The invention will be described with reference to two drawings. By blowing 1) fibers enter a shaft 2). The transport air exits through rods 5) and it forms a fiber column 3), which is pulled by a trigger device 4) from the shaft. The bars increase along the direction of movement 7) of the fiber column in the direction of the air flow 8).

Einzelne Fasern 6) legen sich durch die Luftströmung um einen Stab, und die beiden Enden versuchen sich zu verzwirbeln. Durch die zunehmende Tiefe Z) des Stabes werden die Verzwirbelungen beim Rutschen entlang des Stabes aufgelöst.Individual fibers 6) lay around a rod due to the flow of air, and the two ends try to twirl. Due to the increasing depth Z) of the rod, the Verzwirbelungen be resolved when slipping along the rod.

Claims (2)

Stab an einer Faser-Luftstrom-Einrichtung in Textilfaserschächten dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Stab im Verlauf der Richtung, in der die Fasern an ihm entlang rutschen und im Bereich, in dem die Fasern sich ablagern, mindestens einmal in der Tiefe zunimmt.Rod on a fiber-air flow device in textile fiber shafts, characterized in that the rod increases at least once in the depth in the direction in which the fibers slide along it and in the region in which the fibers deposit. Stab nach Anspruch 1) dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sich die Tiefenzunahme um mindestens 40 % der kleinsten Tiefe erhöht.Rod according to claim 1), characterized in that the depth increase increases by at least 40% of the smallest depth.
