  • the yarn cutting-sucking device of Patent Literature 1 may fail to cut the yarns because the yarns are cut altogether in the form of a thick yarn bundle. Furthermore, even if all yarns are successfully cut altogether, sucking these yarns at once may be unsuccessful.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a yarn cutting-sucking device and a spinning winder, which make it possible to certainly cut and suck all yarns irrespective of the number of the yarns.
  • a yarn cutting-sucking device of the present invention for cutting and sucking a plurality of yarns running and aligned in one direction includes: a cutter arranged to be movable in alignment directions of the plurality of yarns; and a sucking unit arranged to be movable in the alignment directions in the same manner as the cutter and arranged to suck the plurality of yarns cut by the cutter, the cutter and the sucking unit being moved in an alignment direction while the plurality of yarns are aligned.
  • the yarn cutting-sucking device of the present invention makes it possible to certainly cut the yarns one by one by moving the cutter in the alignment directions of the yarns. All yarns are therefore certainly cut irrespective of the number of the yarns. Furthermore, as the movement of the sucking unit follows the movement of the cutter, the yarns cut by the cutter are immediately sucked. In this regard, if at least one of the yarns has already been sucked by the sucking unit, the yarns cut thereafter are easily sucked thanks to an accompanied flow which is generated by the running of the yarn having already been sucked and flows toward the sucking unit.
  • the yarn cutting-sucking device is preferably arranged so that the sucking unit includes a movable body which has a suction port and is arranged to be movable in the alignment directions, the cutter is attached to the movable body and is arranged to be movable in the alignment directions together with the movable body, and a driving unit arranged to move the movable body in the alignment directions is further provided.
  • the yarn cutting-sucking device is preferably arranged so that a leading end of the cutter is inclined toward the upstream in a running direction of the yarns with respect to the alignment directions.

  • the spinneret 1a of the spinning machine 1 ejects a plurality of yarns Y each made up of a plurality of filaments. These yarns Y run while being aligned in directions orthogonal to the plane of Fig. 1 (hereinafter, alignment directions).
  • the oiling nozzle 2 sprays oil onto the yarns Y each supplied from the spinning machine 1 and made up of a plurality of filaments.
  • the godet roller 4a is paired with a separate roller 6a above, whereas the godet roller 4b is paired with a separate roller 6b below.
  • the two godet rollers 4a and 4b are drive rollers driven by an unillustrated drive motor, whereas the two separate rollers 6a and 6b are driven rollers rotated in accordance with the movement of the yarns Y.
  • a yarn regulating guide 30 is provided between the oiling nozzle 2 and the godet roller 4a to regulate the movement of the yarns in the alignment directions.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the yarn regulating guide and the yarn cutting-sucking device.
  • Fig. 3 is a vertical cross section of the yarn regulating guide and the yarn cutting-sucking device at around the leading ends thereof.
  • Fig. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the leading end of the yarn cutting-sucking device of Fig. 2 . As shown in Fig. 2 to Fig.
  • the yarn regulating guide 30 is shaped like comb teeth constituted by a plurality of grooves 30a which are aligned in the alignment directions to correspond to the respective yarns Y.
  • the intervals of the grooves 30a determine the intervals of the yarns Y wound onto the godet rollers 4a and 4b.
  • the yarn cutting-sucking device 40 includes components such as a sucking unit 41 arranged to suck the yarns Y, a sucking power source 42 arranged to drive the sucking unit 41, a cutter 43 for cutting the yarns, and a cylinder 46 for moving a later-described sucking pipe 45 of the sucking unit 41 in the alignment directions.

  • the cylindrical member 44 is attached to a holder 49 which is supported by an unillustrated base, and the sucking pipe 45 is arranged to be movable in the holder 49 in alignment directions.
  • a suction port 45a At a leading end of the sucking pipe 45 in the alignment directions, which end is on the far side from the cylindrical member 44, is formed a suction port 45a.
  • the cylinder 46 extends along the alignment directions of the yarns Y and is attached to the holder 49, and a leading end of the cylinder rod 46a is connected to a connection member 47 which is attached to the lower surface of the sucking pipe 45. As the cylinder 46 is driven to move the cylinder rod 46a forward or backward, the sucking pipe 45 move in an alignment direction.
  • the cutter 43 includes a blade part 50 for cutting yarns Y, a blade part supporter 51 that supports the blade part 50 and is connected to the lower surface of the sucking pipe 45, and an entrapping unit 52 for entrapping the yarns Y.
  • the blade part 50 is shaped like a plate and extends in directions orthogonal to the vertical surface which is in parallel to the running direction of the yarns Y (i.e., vertical direction in Fig. 3 ) and the alignment directions.
  • the leading end of the blade part 50 is inclined toward the upstream of the running direction of the yarns Y.
  • the entrapping unit 52 is provided on the downstream of the blade part 50 (i.e., left side of Fig.
  • the yarns Y supplied from the spinning machine 1 via the oiling nozzle 2 are wound onto the upstream-side godet roller 4a and separate roller 6a several times, are then wound onto the downstream-side godet roller 4b and separate roller 6b several times, and consequently wound by the yarn winder 5.
  • the downstream-side godet roller 4b rotates faster than the upstream-side godet roller 4a.
  • the godet roller 4a is heated to a temperature with which the yarns Y are elongatable (e.g., 90 degrees centigrade), whereas the godet roller 4b is heated to a temperature (e.g., 120 degrees centigrade) higher than that of the godet roller 4a.
  • the yarns Y supplied from the spinning machine 1 are heated by the godet roller 4a to a temperature with which the yarns Y are elongatable, and are then transported to the yarn winder 5 while being drawn by the godet roller 4b.
  • a yarn cutting-sucking device 40 is provided for cutting and sucking the yarns Y at a position immediately above the yarn regulating guide 30 which is on the yarn path on which the yarns Y run and is between the oiling nozzle 2 and the godet roller 4a.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates the operation to cut and suck yarns by the yarn cutting-sucking device.
  • the sucking power source 42 in the retracted state is connected to the sucking unit 41 and the cylinder 46 is activated to start the sucking through the suction port 45a of the sucking pipe 45, and the cylinder rod 46a is advanced. Subsequently, as shown in Fig. 5(a) , the suction port 45a of the sucking pipe 45 and the blade part 50 of the cutter 43 are moved toward the yarns Y in the alignment direction. As a result, first the yarn Y closest to the blade part 50 in the alignment direction is cut by the blade part 50 and sucked by the suction port 45a.
  • the yarns Y are cut one by one by the blade part 50 and sucked by the suction port 45a.
  • an accompanied flow is generated in a direction A from the upstream of the running direction of the yarns Y toward the inside of the suction port 45a.
  • the yarn cutting-sucking device 40 of the present embodiment makes it possible to certainly cut the yarns Y one by one by moving the blade part 50 of the cutter 43 in the alignment direction of the yarn Y, without bending the yarns Y and gathering the yarns Y to one place. All yarns Y are therefore certainly cut irrespective of the number of yarns Y.
  • the edge of the blade part 50 is inclined toward the upstream of the running direction of the yarns Y, and this ensures the successful cutting of the running yarn Y.
  • the suction port 45a of the sucking pipe 45 follows the movement of the blade part 50 of the cutter 43 and sucks the yarns Y cut by the blade part 50.
  • the sucking is easily done because the yarns Y are not bended.
  • the suction port 45a of the sucking pipe 45 is provided on the upstream of the blade part 50 of the cutter 43 in the running direction of the yarns Y, the yarns Y having been cut by the blade part 50 and being on the upstream of the blade part 50 in the running direction are certainly sucked.
  • the blade part 50 is moved along the alignment directions and cuts the yarns Y at a position immediately above the yarn regulating guide 30, the movement of the yarns Y running on the downstream of the blade part 50 in the running direction of the yarns Y is regulated in the alignment directions by the yarn regulating guide 30. Since the parts of the yarns Y to be cut by the blade part 50 do not easily move in the directions in which the blade part 50 moves, the successful cutting of the yarns Y is further ensured.
  • the cutter 43 may be arranged, as shown in Fig. 6 , to be independent from the sucking pipe 45 and independently movable in the alignment directions and a cylinder 150 for moving the cutter 43 in the alignment directions may additionally be provided (modification 1).
  • the cylinder 46 for moving the sucking pipe 45 is synchronized with the cylinder 150 for moving the cutter 43 so that the positional relationship with the blade part 50 is adjusted to be identical between the suction port 45a of the sucking pipe 45 and the cutter 43. With this, the yarns Y are surely cut one by one and sucked.
  • the sucking pipe 72 may, as shown in Fig. 7 (a) and 7(b) , extend in the directions orthogonal to the alignment directions of the yarns Y and attached to the holder 71, and to the leading end face of the holder 71 where the suction port 72a of the sucking pipe 72 protrudes, a cutter 73 may be attached via a supporting member 74 so that the leading end of the cutter 73 extends in the alignment directions of the yarns Y (modification 2).
  • the leading end of the cutter 73 is closer to the yarn Y than the suction port 72a.
  • the sucking pipe 72 and the holder 71 are moved in the alignment direction of the yarns Y by an unillustrated linear movement mechanism, the yarns Y are cut one by one and sucked.
  • the sucking pipe 72 extends along the directions orthogonal to the alignment directions of the yarns Y, the yarn cutting-sucking device 40 is downsized as compared to the layout shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the yarns Y are cut by moving the blade part 50 along the alignment directions immediately above the yarn regulating guide 30, the yarns Y may be cut at a position remote from the yarn regulating guide 30.
  • the position is preferably arranged so that the yarns Y are stabilized and do not easily move in the alignment directions. Examples of the position include positions at around the upstream or downstream of the godet rollers 4a and 4b.
  • sucking power source 42 and the cutter 43 are moved along the alignment directions by the cylinder 46
  • an unillustrated guide rail for moving the sucking power source 42 and the cutter 43 in the alignment directions may be provided instead of the cylinder 46, and an operator may move the sucking power source 42 and the cutter 43 along the alignment directions.
  • the leading end of the blade part 50 of the cutter 43 is inclined toward the upstream of the running direction of the yarns Y
  • the inclination with respect to the horizontal plane may be differently arranged in accordance with the running speed of the yarns Y.
  • the yarns Y are made of a material that is easy to cut
