Definitions
- the present invention relates to a controlled-tension yam-feeding apparatus for textile machines, with yam-recovering function
- yam feeders which are provided with a stationary drum on which a motorized swivel arm winds a plurality of yarn loops forming a weft stock.
- the yarn unwinding from the drum upon request from a downstream textile machine is subject to the action of a stabilizing brake which maintains the delivered yarn under a slight tension.
- the stabilizing brake typically comprises a frustoconical hollow member which is biased with its inner surface against the delivery edge of the drum, by manually adjustable elastic means.
- a controlled brake may be arranged downstream of the feeder in order to maintain the feeding tension substantially constant, e.g., a lamina-based brake of the type described in EP 0 622 485 .
- the controlled brake is subject to a feedback loop which receives a measured tension signal from a tension sensor, then compares it with a reference tension representing the desired tension, and finally modulates the braking action in such a way as to minimize the difference between the reference tension and the measured tension.
- Certain particular processes such as sewing the heels of socks, require that the yarn fed to the machine is periodically recovered and then returned. This operation is usually carried out by a dedicated yarn-recovering device arranged upstream of the machine.
- a yarn-recovering device of this type is described in EP 1 741 817 and generally comprises a motorized reel having an oblique passage for the yarn defined therein.
- the passage extends between an axial inlet port formed on an end surface of the reel, and an outlet port formed on the cylindrical lateral surface of the reel.
- a drawback of a line constituted as above is that it is rather expensive, mainly because a textile machine is usually served by dozens yarns and, therefore, the cost of each device added downstream of the feeder (brake, yarn-recovering device, etc.) must be multiplied by the number of yarns.
- a yarn-feeding apparatus 10 comprises a weft feeder 11 provided with a stationary drum 12.
- the yarn, which is unwound from drum 12 upon request from a general downstream machine 17, is subject to the action of a stabilizing brake which maintains the delivered yarn under tension.
- the stabilizing brake typically comprises a frustoconical hollow member 18 which is biased with its inner surface against the delivery edge of drum 12 by manually adjustable elastic means 19.
- the amount of yarn stocked on drum 12 is controlled by a triad of sensors.
- a first sensor S1 preferably a Hall sensor, detects the passage of magnets M integral with the flywheel, in order to measure the amount of yarn wound on the drum as well as the winding speed.
- a third sensor, S3, preferably an optical sensor, provides an UWP pulse per each loop unwound from the drum.
- a yarn-recovering device 20 of the type described in EP 1 741 817 is arranged, which is shown in detail in Figs. 2 to 4 .
- yarn-recovering device 20 comprises a reel 22 keyed to a driving shaft 24 of a motor 26, preferably a stepping motor or, alternatively, a brushless motor provided with an absolute sensor which allows its real position to be determined, by means of techniques which are conventional in the field.
- Reel 22 is arranged with its axis A sloping at a first angle ⁇ with respect to the direction of the incoming yarn, which direction is indicated by arrow D, so that its end surface 22a facing away from motor 26 obliquely faces the incoming yarn.
- Reel 22 has a cylindrical seat 28 extending coaxially from an axial opening 29 formed on end surface 22a of reel 22.
- a passage 30 is defined within reel 22, which extends between an inlet port 30a opening to cylindrical axial seat 28, and an outlet port 30b opening to the lateral winding surface 22b of the reel.
- Passage 30 is rectilinear and is sloping at a second angle ⁇ substantially equal to first angle ⁇ with respect to axis A of the reel.
- the edge of axial seat 28 and outlet port 30b have respective internally beveled, ceramic wearproof rings 32, 33 applied thereto.
- An inlet yarn-guide eyelet 34 and an outlet yarn-guide eyelet 36 are arranged upstream and downstream of reel 22 respectively, at the same level of ceramic ring 32.
- yarn F passes through upstream yarn-guide eyelet 34, axial seat 28, passage 30, and downstream yarn-guide eyelet 36.
- yarn-recovering device 20 is not activated by a request from machine 17, based on the need of recovering/returning yarn. Instead, the angular position of reel 22 about its axis A is continuously adjusted on the basis of braking signals BI received from a control unit CU, in order to apply a braking action by friction to the yarn, which braking action is caused by the yarn creeping against the contact surfaces of reel 22 and yarn-guide eyelets 34, 36, and increases in intensity with increasing angle of rotation ⁇ of the reel with respect to an angular position of minimum braking; the latter, in the example of Fig. 3 , is defined as the position in which passage 30 is aligned to inlet/outlet yarn-guide eyelets 34, 36, so that the reel does not interfere with the path of the yarn.
- control unit CU is programmed to modulate the braking action in order to maintain the yarn tension substantially constant.
- a tension sensor 38 arranged downstream of yarn-recovering device 20 measures the tension of yarn F unwinding from the drum and sends a corresponding measured tension signal T_meas to control unit CU.
- the latter comprises a tension control block TC which is programmed to compare measured tension T_meas with a reference tension T_ref, and to adjust the above braking signal BI - from which the rotation angle of the reel is dependent - in order to minimize the difference between them.
- yarn-recovering device 20 In case of a sudden drop in tension, e.g., due to a release of yarn from downstream machine 17 in particular processes, or to a yarn breakage, yarn-recovering device 20 will automatically perform its yarn-recovering function, because reel 22 will keep on rotating and winding the yarn upon itself, until the yarn tension will reach the reference value T_ref again. Therefore, also while recovering, the tension will automatically tend to the constant reference value T_ref.
- yarn-recovering device 20 is connected to send a position signal P( ⁇ ), which is indicative of the instantaneous angular position ⁇ of the device, to control unit CU.
- yarn-recovering device 20 also operates as a brake, with consequent reduction in terms of costs and dimensions.
- stabilizing brake 18 is adjusted in such a way as to apply a very slight braking action to the unwinding yarn, such that the tension of the yarn unwinding from the drum is lower than the minimum operative tension expected.
- the controlled brake will effectively adjust the braking action over the entire range of possible operative tensions.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the tension T of the yarn as a function of the rotation angle ⁇ of reel 22, as measured during some tests at different speeds and with different tensions of the incoming yarn, the latter being varied by adjusting stabilizing brake 18.
- Rotation angle 0° represents the above-described position of minimum braking shown in Fig. 3 .
- control unit CU is programmed to activate a safety function when the feeder is disabled.
- reel 22 is maintained at an angular position such that it applies a braking action to the yarn that is slightly weaker with respect to the position corresponding to the reference signal. Accordingly, when the feeder is disabled, the yarn will be always maintained slightly under tension and, when the feeder will be enabled again, it will be immediately fed to textile machine 17 without undergoing tension peaks, thereby reducing the risk of yarn breakage.
- tension control block TC is normally disabled, and control unit CU comprises a speed evaluator block SE, which processes the signals UWP from third sensor S3 in order to compute the real yarn comsumption speed on the basis of the time interval between said UWP pulses, and generates an enabling signal LE which enables the normal operation of tension control block TC only when said speed is > 0.
- control unit CU comprises a speed evaluator block SE, which processes the signals UWP from third sensor S3 in order to compute the real yarn comsumption speed on the basis of the time interval between said UWP pulses, and generates an enabling signal LE which enables the normal operation of tension control block TC only when said speed is > 0.
- the above-described safety function is enabled.
- speed evaluator block SE processes the signals UWP' from first sensor S1, on the basis of the time interval between such pulses UWP' generated by the sensor, and is programmed to generate an enabling signal LE which enables tension control block TC only when said speed is > 0.
- the safety function is enabled.
- the signal generated by first sensor S1, which detects the rotation of yarn-winding flywheel 14, is considered as indicative of the real comsumption of yarn, because it is assumed that, when feeder 10 is operative, the amount of yarn drawn from spool 16 corresponds to the amount of yarn delivered.
- the described embodiments show the yarn-recovering device positioned in such a way that it can assume a non-interfering position, as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3 .
- the yarn-recovering device may also be positioned with its end surface 22a facing the incoming yarn at right angles.
- the reel at its position of minimum braking, which in the described examples corresponds to a non-interfering position as shown in Fig.
- inlet port 30a of passage 30 is very close to the axis of rotation of reel 22, so that the incoming yarn does not swing and, therefore, is not subject to tension fluctuations during the rotation of the reel, however, for some applications, slight fluctuations could be tolerated and therefore inlet port 30a could also be positioned farther than illustrated from axis A.
- passage 30 connecting the inlet port to the outlet port could have various shapes and sizes. For example, if the reel is made hollow, the passage could be the empty area within the reel. Moreover, passage 30 could directly lead to the front surface of the reel, without needing any cylindrical axial seat 28.
