  • the base end side tapered portion 21b functions to smoothly move the supplied spun yarn 10 to a small diameter portion from the large diameter portion until the spun yarn 10 reaches the cylindrical portion 21c located at the middle to orderly wind the spun yarn 10 around the surface of the cylindrical portion 21c.
  • the tip end side tapered portion 21d functions to prevent a sloughing phenomenon in which the wound spun yarn 10 sloughs all at once while the spun yarn 10 is being unwound from the yarn accumulating roller 21.
  • the tip end side tapered portion 21d also functions to sequentially rewind the spun yarn 10 from the small diameter portion to the large diameter portion at the end side so as to maintain smooth drawing of the spun yarn 10.

With such resistance torque, the yarn hooking member 22 is rotated in response to the rotation of the yarn accumulating roller 21, and accordingly, the yarn hooking member 22 is integrally rotated with the yarn accumulating roller 21.

  • the yarn hooking member 22 is independently rotated from the yarn accumulating roller 21, and the spun yarn 10 is gradually unwound from the tip end side of the yarn accumulating roller 21 through the flyer 38.
  • the yarn hooking member 22 When the yarn tension at the downstream of the yarn accumulating device 12 is not strong enough to surpass the resistance torque, the yarn hooking member 22 is integrally rotated with the yarn accumulating roller 21.
  • the yarn hooking member 22 functions to prevent the spun yarn 10 from being unwound from the tip end side of the rotating yarn accumulating roller 21.
  • the yarn accumulating device 12 When the tension of the spun yarn 10 at the downstream increases, the yarn accumulating device 12 unwinds the spun yarn 10. When the tension of the spun 10 lowers (that is, the spun yarn 10 is about to slacken), the yarn accumulating device 12 stops the unwinding of the spun yarn 10. Thus, the yarn accumulating device 12 can eliminate the slackening of the spun yarn 10 and apply an appropriate tension to the spun yarn 10.
  • the yarn hooking member 22 operates to absorb changes in tension applied to the spun yarn 10 located between the yarn accumulating device 12 and the winding device 13. Accordingly, such tension changes can be prevented from influencing the spun yarn 10 located between the air-jet spinning device 9 and the yarn accumulating device 12. Thus, the yarn accumulating device 12 can draw the spun yarn 10 at a more stable speed from the air-jet spinning device 9.

  • the yarn accumulating device 12 includes the yarn removing lever 28.
  • the yarn removing lever 28 is formed as a substantially L-letter shaped member with a horizontally arranged elongate portion (an operating section 28a). A base portion of the yarn removing lever 28 is supported by the swinging shaft 28b.
  • the yarn removing lever 28 is capable of swinging vertically around the swinging shaft 28b between a lifted position and a lowered position. When the yarn removing lever 28 is located at the lowered position, the yarn removing lever 28 is not in contact with a yarn path of the spun yarn 10.
  • the operating section 28a pushes a yarn path of the spun yarn 10 so that the spun yarn 10 can be removed from the flyer 38.
  • the yarn removing lever 28 is normally held at the lowered position.
  • the pneumatic cylinder 49 provided in the yarn joining cart 3 is driven, the yarn removing lever 28 is lifted by the pushing arm 47 to be moved to the lifted position.

  • the yarn movement detecting sensor 50 emits the laser beam L50 such that the spun yarn 10 moving around the tip end portion of the yarn accumulating roller 21 intersects an optical path of the laser beam L50. Accordingly, the spun yarn 10 moving in the peripheral direction of the yarn accumulating roller 21 at the tip end portion of the yarn accumulating roller 21 intermittently interrupts the laser beam L50 emitted by the yarn movement detecting sensor 50.
  • the yarn movement detecting sensor 50 detects the spun yarn 10 which intermittently interrupts the laser beam L50. The detection result by the yarn movement detecting sensor 50 is transmitted to the unit controller 60.

  • An emitting position of the laser beam L27a is a position where a tip end of the spun yarn 10 is located when the spun yarn 10 of a minimal accumulation amount is wound around the outer peripheral surface 21a of the yarn accumulating roller 21 from the base end side to the tip end side.
  • the minimum accumulated amount detecting sensor 27a detects whether or not the spun yarn 10 is located at the emitting position of the laser beam L27a on the outer peripheral surface 21a of the yarn accumulating roller 21. When the spun yarn 10 is located at the emitting position of the laser beam L27a, a determination can be made that the minimal amount or more of the spun yarn 10 has been wound around the yarn accumulating roller 21. The detection result by the minimum accumulated amount detecting sensor 27a is transmitted to the unit controller 60.

  • the yarn clearer 52 When the yarn clearer 52 detects a yarn defect while the spun yarn 10 is being wound, the yarn clearer 52 transmits a yarn defect detection signal to the unit controller 60. Upon receipt of such a yarn defect detection signal ("YES" in Step S101), the unit controller 60 stops the draft device 7 and the air-jet spinning device or the like from spinning the fiber-bundle 8 to cut the spun yarn 10 (Step S102) . At this time, the winding device 13 continues winding of the package 45, and the spun yarn 10 located downstream of the cut position is once wound into the package 45. Accordingly, the spun yarn 10 wound around the yarn accumulating roller 21 is also wound into the package 45, and no spun yarn 10 exists on the yarn accumulating roller 21. A portion including the yarn defect of the spun yarn 10 is also once wound into the package 45.
  • the unit controller 60 transmits a control signal to the yarn joining cart 3, and the yarn joining cart 3 travels to the relevant spinning unit 2 in which the yarn defect has been detected (Step S103).
  • the unit controller 60 operates to rotationally move the suction mouth 46 to the vicinity of a surface of the package 45 (refer to Fig. 11 ), and commands the winding device 13 to reversely rotate the package 45. Accordingly, the yarn end of the lower yarn is drawn from an outer peripheral surface of the package 45, and the yarn end is caught by the suction mouth 46 (Step S104). Since the defective portion of the spun yarn 10 drawn from the package 45 is sucked with suction airflow by the suction mouth 46, a portion of the spun yarn 10 including the yarn defect can be eliminated from the package 45.
  • the unit controller 60 operates to swing the suction mouth 46, which is sucking the lower yarn, to guide the lower yarn to the splicer 43.
  • the lower yarn is guided to the splicer 43, and also the rotation of the package 45 is stopped (Step S105).
  • the unit controller 60 swings the suction pipe 44 to the vicinity of the downstream side of the air-jet spinning device 9 (refer to Fig. 11 ).
  • the unit controller 60 reactivates the air-jet spinning device 9 and the like to produce the spun yarn 10 (Step S107) .
  • the unit controller 60 commands the suction pipe 44 to generate suction airflow so that the suction pipe 44 can catch a yarn end of the spun yarn 10 (upper yarn) produced by the air-jet spinning device 9 (Step S108).
  • the unit controller 60 swings the suction pipe 44 downward while continuing the suction, and the spun yarn 10 is drawn from the air-jet spinning device 9 and guided to the splicer 43 (Step S109) .
  • the upper yarn is caught (Steps S106 and S109) .
  • this flowchart indicates just one example of the operation.
  • the lower yarn may be caught after the upper yarn, or the upper and lower yarns may be caught simultaneously.
  • the spun yarn 10 located between the air-jet spinning device 9 and the suction pipe 44 is engaged with the flyer 38 and the winding of the spun yarn 10 on the yarn accumulating roller 21 is started.
  • the spun yarn 10 is continuously fed from the air-jet spinning device 9. Therefore, if the spun yarn 10 is left as is, the spun yarn 10 slackens.
  • the spun yarn 10 can be prevented from slackening. After that, the amount of the spun yarn 10 accumulated on the yarn accumulated roller 21 increases, and the force to draw the spun yarn 10 from the air-jet spinning device 9 increases.
  • the spun yarn 10 drawn from the air-jet spinning device 9 until the sufficient amount of the spun yarn 10 (minimal accumulation amount) is accumulated on the yarn accumulating roller 21 includes many portions having a weak yarn strength and an unstable yarn quality.
  • the yarn joining operation refers to cutting, untwisting and twisting of an upper yarn and a lower yarn located at a predetermined position of the splicer 43, that is, a splicing operation of the spun yarn 10. If the yarn joining operation is carried out at the above-described timing, since a yarn with an unstable portion is wound around the yarn accumulating roller 21, the unstable yarn portion is also wound into the package 45.
  • the spinning machine 1 In order to prevent the unstable yarn portion from being mixed into the package 45, the spinning machine 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured with the following structure.
  • Step S110 determines whether or not the yarn accumulated amount has reached the minimal accumulation amount by monitoring the yarn accumulated amount on the yarn accumulating roller 21 by the minimum accumulated amount detecting sensor 27a (Step S110).
  • the yarn accumulated amount is less than the minimal accumulation amount ("NO" in Step S110)
  • the spun yarn 10 is wound around the yarn accumulating roller 21 and the accumulated yarn amount increases.
  • the unit controller 60 elevates the pneumatic cylinder 49 to move the yarn removing lever 28 to the lifted position (Step S111) to remove the spun yarn 10 from the flyer 38.
  • the spun yarn 10 When the spun yarn 10 is removed from the flyer 38 while the yarn accumulating roller 21 is rotating, the resistance that prevents the spun yarn 10 from being unwound from the tip end portion of the yarn accumulating roller 21 is eliminated.
  • the spun yarn 10 thus can be unwound from the yarn accumulating roller 21 even with a weak suctioning power of the suction pipe 44 or the like. Therefore, under a state illustrated in Fig. 12 , the spun yarn 10 wound around the yarn accumulating roller 21 is unwound and sucked by the suction pipe 44. Accordingly, an unstable spun yarn 10 on the yarn accumulating roller 21 can be removed with the suction pipe 44.
  • the spun yarn 10 is newly wound by the rotation of the yarn accumulating roller 21. Since the spun yarn 10 is newly wound by the amount that has been sucked by the suction pipe 44, the amount of the spun yarn 10 accumulated on the yarn accumulating roller 21 can be maintained substantially constant.
  • the spun yarn 10 is drawn from the air-jet spinning device 9 while the minimal accumulation amount or more of the spun yarn 10 is maintained. Consequently, the quality of the spun yarn 10 newly wound around the base end side of the yarn accumulating roller 21 is stabilized. While the spun yarn 10 with the stable quality is wound from the base end side of the yarn accumulating roller 21, the spun yarn 10 with unstable quality is unwound from the tip end side of the yarn accumulating roller 21. As a result, the spun yarn 10 on the yarn accumulating roller 21 is sequentially replaced with the spun yarn 10 with the stable quality.
  • a predetermined period of time required to replace all of the spun yarn 10 accumulated on the yarn accumulating roller 21 with the spun yarn 10 with stable quality from the start of unwinding of the unstable spun yarn 10 by lifting the yarn removing lever 28 (that is, a period of time necessary for disposing all the spun yarn 10 with the unstable quality from the yarn accumulating roller 21) is previously input to the unit controller 60.
  • the unit controller 60 determines whether or not the predetermined period of time has elapsed (Step S112) . After the predetermined period of time has elapsed ("YES" in Step S112), the unit controller 60 lowers the pneumatic cylinder 49 to lower the yarn removing lever 28 (Step S113) . Then, the unit controller 60 starts the yarn joining operation by the splicer 43 (Step S114).
  • the flyer 38 By lowering the yarn removing lever 28, the flyer 38 is engaged with the spun yarn 10. Accordingly, the spun yarn 10 is not unwound from the tip end of the yarn accumulating roller 21, and slackening of the spun yarn 10 is prevented.
  • the suction airflow continues to be generated from the suction mouth 46 and the suction pipe 44 , and the spun yarn 10 is sucked.
  • the unnecessary spun yarn 10 is cut by the splicer 43, and the unnecessary spun yarn 10 is sucked and removed.
  • the unit controller 60 commands the winding device 13 to resume winding.
  • Fig. 13 will be referred to describe a structure for detecting a failure of the yarn removing lever 28 to remove the spun yarn 10 from the yarn hooking member 28.
  • the unit controller 60 can detect a failure of the yarn removing lever 28 to remove the spun yarn 10.
  • the excessive accumulation detecting sensor 27b can detect the spun yarn 10 moving in the peripheral direction of the yarn accumulating roller 21 on the outer peripheral surface 21a thereof.
  • the spun yarn 10 wound around the yarn accumulating roller 21 travels towards the downstream via the yarn removing lever 28 and the downstream guide 26. Consequently, the spun yarn 10 does not move in the peripheral direction of the yarn accumulating roller 21 on the outer peripheral surface 21a thereof.
  • the traveling detecting sensor 31 detects whether or not the spun yarn 10 is traveling on a yarn path in the waxing device 30. After the spun yarn 10 is cut, while the spun yarn 10 engaged with the yarn hooking member 22 is being wound around the yarn accumulating roller 21 in order to accumulate the minimal amount of spun yarn 10 (a state before the yarn removing lever 28 is moved to the lifted position), the downstream end portion of the spun yarn 10 wound around the yarn accumulating roller 21 is sucked by the suction pipe 44. However, since the suctioning power of the suction pipe 44 is weak, the spun yarn 10 is not unwound from the tip end portion of the yarn accumulating roller 21.
  • the spun yarn 10 is not travelling at the downstream of the yarn accumulating device 12, and the travelling detecting sensor 31 detects that the travelling of the spun yarn 10 is stopped.
  • the yarn removing lever 28 is moved to the lifted position and the spun yarn 10 is removed from the yarn hooking member 28, the resistance that prevents the spun yarn 10 from being unwound from the tip end portion of the yarn accumulating roller 21 is eliminated. Therefore, the spun yarn 10 can be unwound even with the weak suctioning power of the suction pipe 44 or the like. Accordingly, the spun yarn 10 starts travelling on a yarn path at the downstream of the yarn accumulating device 12, and the travelling detecting sensor 31 detects the spun yarn 10 travelling on a yarn path in the waxing device 30.
  • the yarn movement detecting sensor 50 detects the spun yarn 10 moving in the peripheral direction of the yarn accumulating roller 21 at the tip end portion thereof. As illustrated in Fig. 13 , when the yarn removing lever 28 is moved to the lifted position and the spun yarn 10 is removed from the yarn hooking member 22, the spun yarn 10 wound around the yarn accumulating roller 21 travels towards the downstream through the yarn removing lever 28 and the downstream guide 26. Consequently, the spun yarn 10 does not move in the peripheral direction of the yarn accumulating roller 21 on the tip end portion thereof.
  • the yarn removing lever 28 when the yarn removing lever 28 is moved to the lifted position, if the yarn movement detecting sensor 50 does not detect the spun yarn 10 intermittently interrupting the laser beam L50, a determination can be made that the spun yarn 10 has been removed from the yarn hooking member 22. Even if the yarn removing lever 28 is moved to the lifted position, when the yarn movement detecting sensor 50 detects the spun yarn 10 intermittently interrupting the laser beam L50, a determination can be made that the spun yarn 10 has not been removed from the yarn hooking member 22.
  • the unit controller 60 can detect a yarn removal failure of the yarn removing lever 28 in accordance with the detection result of any one of the excessive accumulation detecting sensor 27b, the travelling detecting sensor 31 and the yarn movement detecting sensor 50.
  • the unit controller 60 carries out control to return the yarn removing lever 28 to the lowered position and then to move the yarn removing lever 28 to the lifted position again to remove the spun yarn 10 from the yarn hooking member 22.
  • the spinning machine 1 and the spinning unit 2 since a sensor for detecting the yarn removal from the yarn hooking member 22 (the excessive accumulation detecting sensor 27b, the travelling detecting sensor 31 and/or the yarn movement detecting sensor 50) is provided, a detection can be carried out as to whether or not the spun yarn 10 has been removed from the yarn hooking member 22 by the sensor for detecting the yarn removal. Accordingly, a failure which may occur when a yarn removal from the yarn hooking member 22 is not detected can be prevented.
  • the travelling detecting sensor 31 provided in the waxing device 30 and/or the excessive accumulation detecting sensor 27b for detecting an excessive accumulated amount of the spun yarn 10 can detect whether or not the spun yarn 10 has been removed from the yarn hooking member 22.
