Definitions
- the present invention relates to a winding machine for winding yarn on a tube to form a package.
- winding machines are widely used for collecting yarn by causing a take-up tube to rotate on a spindle of a package-holder arm and draw the yarn from a feeding bobbin.
- the package is thus formed by pulling and winding the yarn on its surface.
- the package is driven caused to rotate by an underlying motor-driven cylinder on which the package rests.
- the yarn is wound at a substantially constant linear speed, irrespective of the growing size of the package being formed, only as a function of the speed of rotation of the driving cylinder.
- winding machines consist of a plurality of winding workstations aligned along the front of the machine and equipped with commonly used control and service apparatuses.
- Figure 1 shows a front view of a winding machine (or winder) with its main parts.

- This may comprise, for example, an adjustable deviator capable of rendering the path for the yarn more meandering to adjust its tension.
- Downstream of the tensioner 5 is an splicer 6, to which the ends of interrupted yarn needing to be spliced are taken by suction mouths 9 and 10, located on the sides of the feeding bobbin and the package, respectively. The uppermost working positions of the suction mouths are depicted in phantom line at 9' and 10'.
- suction mouth 9 takes the yarn end on the feeding bobbin side to the splicer 6 and the suction mouth 10 takes the yarn end from the package.
- the suction mouths operate when the yarn is interrupted by breaking or by intervention of the yarn clearer 11 that is located downstream of the splicer 6.
- the yarn is collected in the package 12.
- the package rests upon and is caused to rotate by a driving cylinder or roller 13 supported by package-holder arm 14.
- the distribution of the yarn 2 on the package 12 is carried out by a traversing guide in order to form a package having a given wind ratio.
- the distribution of the yarn on the package is performed by the same driving cylinder 13.
- This cylinder is provided with traversing slots 17 which distribute the yarn 2 with an axial motion to and fro on the surface of the package 12, while the driving cylinder 13 transmits a driving torque required for winding the yarn.
- the number of helical traversing slots formed on the driving cylinder 13 varies depending on the count and the winding compactness of the package to form.
- each winding machine uses a large number of feeding bobbins to form packages of a much greater size.
- a feeding bobbin is unwound in a few minutes, while a package is completed in less than one hour.
- a system for moving the feeding bobbins is usually arranged at the bottom of the winder, feeding new bobbins to be unwound and removing the tubes of the finished bobbins, moving even thousands of pieces per hour.
- dozens of packages are formed each hour.
- the packages must be removed and replaced with new tubes in the package holder arms, each time restarting the winding machine.
- automatic winding machines such interventions are performed by a doffing trolley equipped with special devices for each operation and movement required. With other types of winders, these operations are performed manually by the personnel.

- the end of prong 22 supports a fixed center 25.
- the package holder arm 14 can be raised and lowered, rotating about a pin 28 along an arc delimited by two stops, not shown for simplicity.
- the opening and closing movements of the mobile center are generally carried out mechanically through opening mechanisms contrasted by springs which tend to close the centers.
- actuator 31 may comprise a pneumatic cylinder, supplied by a source 32 of pressurized air, which allows for controlled lifting and lowering of the package-holder arm.
- the actuator 31 has two ends, of which a lower end is connected to the fixed structure 30 and an upper end is connected to one of the two prongs 22, 23 of the package-holder arm.
- the ends of the actuator are provided with spherical joints to allow rotation of the pneumatic cylinder, as a result of the rotation of arm 14 about the pivot 28.
- the package-holder arm is raised by the package as this grows.
- a counterweight force can be applied to the arm so as to adjust the contact pressure of the package 12 on the driving cylinder 13, in order to determine the density of the package being formed, for example according to the patent publication EP 1 820 764 , in the name of the same Applicant.
- the package holder arm is provided with a brake actuated by a pneumatic piston, not shown in the figure for simplicity.
- the centers of the holder arm When starting a package, the centers of the holder arm must be opened, provided with a new tube on which the yarn is to be wound.

- sealing gaskets 48 are fitted on the outer cylindrical surfaces of the two cylindrical portions 45, 46.
- the sealing gaskets 48 are O-rings arranged inside circumferential grooves 49.
- FIG. 3B shows the piston 44 in a raised position with chambers 41 and 42 communicating with one another.
- a pressurized air system 50 for the supply and outlet of pressurized air into and out of cavity 40 is located in the lower part of the pneumatic actuator 31.
- the air supply system 50 comprises a control valve 51, preferably a two-way valve or a three-way valve, connected to a source 32 of pressurized air or an equivalent pressurized operating fluid, for adjusting the pressure of the fluid supplied to the cavity 40.
- the valve 51 is actuated by a control unit (not shown) which controls operation of the entire winding machine.
- the valve 51 is associated with the pneumatic actuator 31.
- the same reference number 51 is used to designate a connector through which fluid communication may be established between the valve 51 ( Fig.
- the casing 39 forms a seat for connecting to the valve 51 and a bifurcated conduit for establishing fluid communication between the valve 51 and each of the two chambers 41, 42.
- a common conduit 52 communicating with the valve 51, bifurcates in two separate conduits 57, 56.
- the first conduit 57 connects the common conduit 52 with the wider chamber 41.
- the second conduit 56 connects the common conduit 52 with the narrower chamber 42.
- the two separate conduits 57 and 56 supply separately the two chambers 41 and 42.
- all the conduits 52, 56, 57 are formed within the casing 39 of the pneumatic actuator 31.
- the two separate conduits 56 and 57 that supply and discharge the two chambers 41 and 42, are provided with means 60 for causing different losses of pressure, or pressure drops, in the fluid flowing in the two conduits 56, 57.
- the valve 51 supplies the common conduit 52, preferably through a choked nozzle 53, which generates a predetermined loss of pressure in common conduit 52 and in conduit 56.
- the first conduit 57 is provided with a choked nozzle 59, which generates a predetermined pressure drop in conduit 57.
- the pressure drop caused by the or choked nozzle 59 is considerably higher than the pressure drop determined by the choke nozzle 53.
- the choked nozzle 59 is fitted in the conduit 57 where this conduit opens on the upper, wider chamber 41.
- Operation of the package-holder arm may be as follow.
- the arm 14 raises slowly due to the growth of the package.
- the piston 44 is pulled upwards by the ball joint 34.
- the control valve 51 can deliver pressurized air at controlled pressure for counterbalancing and adjusting the contact pressure of the package 12 against the cylinder 13.
- the fluid flow is small.
- the choked nozzles 53 and 59 do not exert any significant action.
- valve 51 When the package-holder arm 14 has to be lifted, the valve 51 is opened by way of a control signal coming from the winding machine control unit.
- the open valve 51 supplies pressurized fluid at the maximum available pressure into the cavity 40, lifting the piston 44 ( Figure 3B ).
- the valve 51 is opened by a control signal from the winding machine control unit.
- the valve is opened to discharge the pressure within the actuator 31 and let the fluid out of chambers 41 and 42. Due to its own weight, the package-holder arm 14 descends.
- the piston 44 is in the position shown in Figure 3B .
- the nozzle 59 which is calibrated to provoke a high pressure loss within the conduit 57, does not hinder the outflow since the conduit 56 communicates with all the internal volume of the cavity 40. Therefore, in the initial phase of the descent, the package holder arm comes down relatively quickly.
- the choked nozzle 53 is advantageous in slowing down the first part of the descent of the piston 44 and the arm 14. In fact, should the arm drop too quickly in the first part if its descent, it would bounce back upwards as soon as the narrower cylindrical portion 46 of the piston enters the narrower cylindrical chamber 42.
- the conduit 52 or the conduit 56 could be made very narrow, so as to cause a predetermined pressure drop without the provision of the chocked nozzle 53.
- the same conduits 52 or 56 would act as means for causing a significant loss of pressure, or pressure drop, to the fluid flowing through them.
- a control for lifting and lowering the package-holder arm 14 with the actuator 31 can include, by way of example - in winding machines of the manual type - a switch located on the assembly 27 which is actuated by the operator. With automatic models of winding machines equipped with a doffing trolley, the actuator 31 can be controlled remotely when the trolley reaches the winder to be serviced. The lifting and lowering of the package-holder arm therefore does not require any effort to the operator with manual winding machines, nor any physical contact between a trolley and an automatic winding machine.
- Figures 4A and 4B show an alternative embodiment of the pneumatic cylinder actuator 31, which may be provided with an additional device 65 for raising the package on those occasions when the yarn-splicer 6 is to be activated.
- Figures 4A and 4B show operational conditions of the actuator 31 during winding and splicing of the yarn 2, respectively.
- the package-holder arm needs to be lifted for splicing the yarn. To allow this, the package must first be raised, stopped and, after the yarn has been spliced, rested back upon the driving cylinder. In these cases it suffices to lift the package-holder arm and raise the piston 44 only a few millimeters above the angular position that the arm 14 has reached as a result of the progressive growth of the package.
- the package-holder arm 14 is in its working position. Valve 51 is open, exerting its function of counterbalancing the arm.
- the additional device 65 is fitted, in this example, to the upper part of the actuator 31, on the outside of the casing 39.
- the additional device 65 includes a second, annular cylindrical chamber 70, defined internally by the casing 39 and externally by a second cylindrical casing 73.
- the top of annular chamber 70 is closed with a top cover 74.
- Sliding within the annular chamber 70 is a piston 71 having an annular shape and a size compatible with the chamber 70.
- the annular piston 71 has cylindrical surfaces provided with gaskets 78, for example O-rings, forcedly fitted inside circumferential grooves 79. Since the stroke required to piston 44 for the so-called instant lifting is limited to a few millimeters, the height required for the chamber 70 may be slightly greater than the height of the annular piston 71.
- a pressurized air on/off system 80 for the supply and outlet of pressurized air into and out of the annular chamber 70 is arranged on the lower side of annular piston 71.
- air supply system 80 includes a three-way valve 81 connected to a source 82 of pressurized air or an equivalent compressed fluid.
- Valve 81 is actuated through the winding machine control unit (not shown) when the yarn must be spliced.
- the valve 81 supplies a conduit 83 which opens on the bottom of annular chamber 70.
- the pressurized air source 82 may coincide with the pressurized air source 32, which is already provided on the winding machine for other services.
- a tapered surface 85 is formed at the top of the inner surface of annular piston 71.
- a plurality of balls 86 are arranged in the available space defined, at the upper end of the cylindrical casing 39, between the piston 44 and the tapered surface 85.
- the diameter of the balls 86 is of a size just less than that of the available space.
- a number of contrasting springs are fitted between the upper face of annular piston 71 and the top cover 74 are. Those springs are loaded by the raising of piston 71.
- the valve 81 is controlled to open, in order to discharge the pressure existing in annular chamber 70, the thrust of the contrast springs prevails and annular piston 71 descends, bringing the balls 86 down and releasing the piston 44.
- piston 44 returns to the previous level it was at before activation of the additional device 65, allowing the package to rest again upon driving cylinder 13.
- Control and actuation of the package-holder arm is always performed by a single pressurized air actuator, i.e. for exerting a counterbalancing action, for lifting the arm completely, as well as for causing the instant lifting of the arm to splice the yarn.
- the movement of the arm provides that the final part of its downward movement is slowed down so as to dampen the contact between the tube, or the initial package, and the driving cylinder.
- a complete lifting of the package-holder arm for doffing operations is no longer required to operators or to the doffing trolley of automatic winders.
- the arm is lifted due to a control signal by the control unit of the winding machine at the beginning of the doffing step, thereby facilitating the work of the operators or simplifying the doffing trolley, since the arm will have been already raised.
- the actuator may have a reversed arrangement with respect to the embodiments shown in figures 3A-B and 4A-B .
- the narrower chamber 42 and the corresponding narrower cylindrical portion 46 of the piston may be at the top of the actuator, i.e. near the arm 14. Accordingly, also the supply system 50 would need to be inverted, as if figures 3A and 3B were tilted upside down.

Description
- The present invention relates to a winding machine for winding yarn on a tube to form a package. In the textile industry, winding machines are widely used for collecting yarn by causing a take-up tube to rotate on a spindle of a package-holder arm and draw the yarn from a feeding bobbin. The package is thus formed by pulling and winding the yarn on its surface. The package is driven caused to rotate by an underlying motor-driven cylinder on which the package rests. The yarn is wound at a substantially constant linear speed, irrespective of the growing size of the package being formed, only as a function of the speed of rotation of the driving cylinder.
- In order to clarify both the technical problems underlying and solved by the present invention and its characteristics and advantages with respect to the prior art, a winding machine is described first. As known, winding machines consist of a plurality of winding workstations aligned along the front of the machine and equipped with commonly used control and service apparatuses.
-
Figure 1 shows a front view of a winding machine (or winder) with its main parts. Afeeding bobbin 1 is unwound by picking up itsyarn 2. Theyarn 2 passes from the unwinding unit 3 that comprises a balloon breaker, yarn guide members 3, a yarn detector 4 and ayarn tensioner 5. This may comprise, for example, an adjustable deviator capable of rendering the path for the yarn more meandering to adjust its tension. Downstream of thetensioner 5 is ansplicer 6, to which the ends of interrupted yarn needing to be spliced are taken bysuction mouths suction mouth 9 takes the yarn end on the feeding bobbin side to thesplicer 6 and thesuction mouth 10 takes the yarn end from the package. The suction mouths operate when the yarn is interrupted by breaking or by intervention of the yarn clearer 11 that is located downstream of thesplicer 6. The yarn is collected in thepackage 12. The package rests upon and is caused to rotate by a driving cylinder orroller 13 supported by package-holder arm 14. - In general, the distribution of the
yarn 2 on thepackage 12 is carried out by a traversing guide in order to form a package having a given wind ratio. In the diagram ofFigure 1 , the distribution of the yarn on the package is performed by thesame driving cylinder 13. This cylinder is provided withtraversing slots 17 which distribute theyarn 2 with an axial motion to and fro on the surface of thepackage 12, while the drivingcylinder 13 transmits a driving torque required for winding the yarn. The number of helical traversing slots formed on the drivingcylinder 13 varies depending on the count and the winding compactness of the package to form. - During its normal operation, each winding machine uses a large number of feeding bobbins to form packages of a much greater size. In general, a feeding bobbin is unwound in a few minutes, while a package is completed in less than one hour. A system for moving the feeding bobbins is usually arranged at the bottom of the winder, feeding new bobbins to be unwound and removing the tubes of the finished bobbins, moving even thousands of pieces per hour. In the upper part of the winder, dozens of packages are formed each hour. The packages must be removed and replaced with new tubes in the package holder arms, each time restarting the winding machine. With automatic winding machines such interventions are performed by a doffing trolley equipped with special devices for each operation and movement required. With other types of winders, these operations are performed manually by the personnel.

Figure 2 shows a side view of the structure of apackage holder arm 14, which performs a plurality of functions and movements. -
Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of thepackage holder arm 14 as seen from the left. As already shown inFigure 1 , thearm 14 may have a U-shaped structure, which forms two prongs at theends prong 23 carries themobile center 26, with adevice 27 which can be opened and closed to release the package or to receive anew tube 29 for thepackage 12. The end ofprong 22 supports a fixedcenter 25. Thepackage holder arm 14 can be raised and lowered, rotating about apin 28 along an arc delimited by two stops, not shown for simplicity. - The opening and closing movements of the mobile center are generally carried out mechanically through opening mechanisms contrasted by springs which tend to close the centers.
- The package-holder arm rests on the fixed
structure 30 of the winding machine by means ofactuator 31. By way of example,actuator 31 may comprise a pneumatic cylinder, supplied by asource 32 of pressurized air, which allows for controlled lifting and lowering of the package-holder arm. Theactuator 31 has two ends, of which a lower end is connected to the fixedstructure 30 and an upper end is connected to one of the twoprongs arm 14 about thepivot 28. - During the winding process, the package-holder arm is raised by the package as this grows. Through the
actuator 31, a counterweight force can be applied to the arm so as to adjust the contact pressure of thepackage 12 on the drivingcylinder 13, in order to determine the density of the package being formed, for example according to thepatent publication EP 1 820 764 , in the name of the same Applicant. - When the winding is stopped for splicing or doffing the yarn, the package must be raised, braked and stopped. To this end, the package holder arm is provided with a brake actuated by a pneumatic piston, not shown in the figure for simplicity.
- When starting a package, the centers of the holder arm must be opened, provided with a new tube on which the yarn is to be wound. After the centers are closed on the new tube, the package holder arm is lowered to bring the new tube in contact with the driving
cylinder 13, in order to draw the yarn from the feedingbobbin 1 and start anew package 12. - Once the package is finished, it must be raised, braked and removed by opening the centers of the package holder arm. A new tube is then fitted on the arm for taking the winding. This operation is currently known as doffing. It can be carried out manually by operators or, in the case of automatic winders, by a service trolley, which goes to the position of the winding machine to serve. Before starting the doffing step and stopping the package, the holder arm must be raised as high as possible to lift the
package 12 above thecylinder 13, leaving plenty of room for doffing operations. - In general, the above movements and functions of the package holder arm - during winding, splicing, and doffing - are carried out by a plurality of devices controlled by a control unit of the winding machine and in cooperation with the doffing trolley.
- The technical problem to which the present invention is addressed is to control angular movements of the package holder arm, throughout the various stages of the winding process, through a single device, thereby simplifying the control of the winding process.
- The present invention provides a winding machine as defined in
claim 1. Preferred embodiments are defined in the dependent claims. -
Figure 1 is a front view of a yarn collecting unit in a winding machine, schematically showing the most important devices that take part in the process of forming a package, for the purpose of illustrating the problem underlying the invention. -
Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a package-holder arm according to an embodiment of the present invention. - The characteristics and advantages of the package-holder arm according to the present invention are more apparent from the description of a few preferred but not limiting embodiments, shown in
Figures 3 to 4 . -
Figures 3A and 3B show a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the lower part of apneumatic cylinder actuator 31 according to an embodiment of the present invention. InFigure 3B the actuator is extended or raised more than inFigure 3A . As shown also inFigure 2 , theactuator 31 may comprise acasing 39 defining a slidingcavity 40 having a mushroom-shaped lower end portion, i.e. with two coaxialcylindrical chambers - In this embodiment, the
wider chamber 41 is above thenarrower chamber 42. Apiston 44 is slidingly accommodated within thecavity 40. The size and shape ofpiston 44 is adapted or corresponding tochambers Piston 44 comprises two superimposedcylindrical portions chambers wider chamber 41 has a cross-sectional area corresponding to the cross-sectional area of the widercylindrical portion 45 of the piston, and thenarrower chamber 42 has a cross-sectional area corresponding to the cross-sectional area of the narrowercylindrical portion 46 of thepiston 44. - In an embodiment, sealing
gaskets 48 are fitted on the outer cylindrical surfaces of the twocylindrical portions gaskets 48 are O-rings arranged insidecircumferential grooves 49. - When the lower, narrower
cylindrical portion 46 ofpiston 44 penetrates the lower,narrower chamber 42, the twochambers cavity 40 are not directly communicating with one another. Conversely, when the lowercylindrical portion 46 is lifted out ofchamber 42, the twochambers Figure 3B shows thepiston 44 in a raised position withchambers - In the exemplary embodiment of
Figures 2 ,3A and 3B , apressurized air system 50 for the supply and outlet of pressurized air into and out ofcavity 40 is located in the lower part of thepneumatic actuator 31. Theair supply system 50 comprises acontrol valve 51, preferably a two-way valve or a three-way valve, connected to asource 32 of pressurized air or an equivalent pressurized operating fluid, for adjusting the pressure of the fluid supplied to thecavity 40. Thevalve 51 is actuated by a control unit (not shown) which controls operation of the entire winding machine. Thevalve 51 is associated with thepneumatic actuator 31. Infigures 3A and 3B , thesame reference number 51 is used to designate a connector through which fluid communication may be established between the valve 51 (Fig. 2 ) and thepneumatic actuator 31. Thecasing 39 forms a seat for connecting to thevalve 51 and a bifurcated conduit for establishing fluid communication between thevalve 51 and each of the twochambers common conduit 52, communicating with thevalve 51, bifurcates in twoseparate conduits first conduit 57 connects thecommon conduit 52 with thewider chamber 41. Thesecond conduit 56 connects thecommon conduit 52 with thenarrower chamber 42. The twoseparate conduits chambers - According to an embodiment, all the
conduits casing 39 of thepneumatic actuator 31. - According to an embodiment, the two
separate conduits chambers means 60 for causing different losses of pressure, or pressure drops, in the fluid flowing in the twoconduits valve 51 supplies thecommon conduit 52, preferably through a chokednozzle 53, which generates a predetermined loss of pressure incommon conduit 52 and inconduit 56. - As shown in
Figures 3A-B , thefirst conduit 57 is provided with a chokednozzle 59, which generates a predetermined pressure drop inconduit 57. The pressure drop caused by the or chokednozzle 59 is considerably higher than the pressure drop determined by thechoke nozzle 53. - In the exemplary embodiment of
Figures 3A, 3B , the chokednozzle 59 is fitted in theconduit 57 where this conduit opens on the upper,wider chamber 41. - Operation of the package-holder arm may be as follow. During normal winding, the
arm 14 raises slowly due to the growth of the package. Thepiston 44 is pulled upwards by the ball joint 34. Thecontrol valve 51 can deliver pressurized air at controlled pressure for counterbalancing and adjusting the contact pressure of thepackage 12 against thecylinder 13. The fluid flow is small. The chokednozzles - When the package-
holder arm 14 has to be lifted, thevalve 51 is opened by way of a control signal coming from the winding machine control unit. Theopen valve 51 supplies pressurized fluid at the maximum available pressure into thecavity 40, lifting the piston 44 (Figure 3B ). - When the package-
holder arm 14 is to be lowered, for example to bring thenew tube 29 to rest against the drivingcylinder 13, thevalve 51 is opened by a control signal from the winding machine control unit. The valve is opened to discharge the pressure within theactuator 31 and let the fluid out ofchambers holder arm 14 descends. At the beginning of the downward stroke, thepiston 44 is in the position shown inFigure 3B . Thenozzle 59, which is calibrated to provoke a high pressure loss within theconduit 57, does not hinder the outflow since theconduit 56 communicates with all the internal volume of thecavity 40. Therefore, in the initial phase of the descent, the package holder arm comes down relatively quickly. Then, when thepiston 44 is lowered - as inFigure 3A - enough to introduce its lowercylindrical portion 46 into thelower chamber 42, the twochambers nozzle 59 prevents the fluid contained inchamber 41 from flowing out quickly. As a result, thepiston 44 and thearm 14 are lowered slowly in the final part of the descent ofpiston 44. Thechamber 41 therefore acts as a shock absorber to prevent the package-holder arm from impacting on the package abruptly. Consequently, damages to the both theactuating cylinder 13 and the tube retaining centers are prevented. - The choked
nozzle 53 is advantageous in slowing down the first part of the descent of thepiston 44 and thearm 14. In fact, should the arm drop too quickly in the first part if its descent, it would bounce back upwards as soon as the narrowercylindrical portion 46 of the piston enters the narrowercylindrical chamber 42. - As an alternative to the choked
nozzle 53, theconduit 52 or theconduit 56 could be made very narrow, so as to cause a predetermined pressure drop without the provision of the chockednozzle 53. In such an alternative embodiment, thesame conduits - Experimental test have shown that good results in braking the descent of the package-holder arm can be attained with an embodiment with a
narrower chamber 42 having a cross-sectional area in the range of 6-15% the area of thewider chamber 41, whereas the length of the narrowercylindrical portion 46 of thepiston 44 is in the range of 10-30 mm. This length corresponds to the final part of the downward stroke ofpiston 44, which is dampened or braked before the package-holder arm reaches its resting position. Preferably, in order to obtain the shock absorbing effect, thenozzle 59 causing the greater pressure loss ha a diameter in the range of about 0.1 and about 0.5 mm. The above sizes are not to be regarded as limiting values. - A control for lifting and lowering the package-
holder arm 14 with theactuator 31 can include, by way of example - in winding machines of the manual type - a switch located on theassembly 27 which is actuated by the operator. With automatic models of winding machines equipped with a doffing trolley, theactuator 31 can be controlled remotely when the trolley reaches the winder to be serviced. The lifting and lowering of the package-holder arm therefore does not require any effort to the operator with manual winding machines, nor any physical contact between a trolley and an automatic winding machine. -
Figures 4A and 4B show an alternative embodiment of thepneumatic cylinder actuator 31, which may be provided with anadditional device 65 for raising the package on those occasions when the yarn-splicer 6 is to be activated.Figures 4A and 4B show operational conditions of theactuator 31 during winding and splicing of theyarn 2, respectively. - As already mentioned, the package-holder arm needs to be lifted for splicing the yarn. To allow this, the package must first be raised, stopped and, after the yarn has been spliced, rested back upon the driving cylinder. In these cases it suffices to lift the package-holder arm and raise the
piston 44 only a few millimeters above the angular position that thearm 14 has reached as a result of the progressive growth of the package. - As shown in
Figure 4A , the package-holder arm 14 is in its working position.Valve 51 is open, exerting its function of counterbalancing the arm. Theadditional device 65 is fitted, in this example, to the upper part of theactuator 31, on the outside of thecasing 39. Theadditional device 65 includes a second, annularcylindrical chamber 70, defined internally by thecasing 39 and externally by a secondcylindrical casing 73. In this embodiment, the top ofannular chamber 70 is closed with atop cover 74. Sliding within theannular chamber 70 is apiston 71 having an annular shape and a size compatible with thechamber 70. Preferably, theannular piston 71 has cylindrical surfaces provided withgaskets 78, for example O-rings, forcedly fitted insidecircumferential grooves 79. Since the stroke required topiston 44 for the so-called instant lifting is limited to a few millimeters, the height required for thechamber 70 may be slightly greater than the height of theannular piston 71. - According to an embodiment, a pressurized air on/off
system 80 for the supply and outlet of pressurized air into and out of theannular chamber 70 is arranged on the lower side ofannular piston 71. In this exemplary embodiment,air supply system 80 includes a three-way valve 81 connected to asource 82 of pressurized air or an equivalent compressed fluid.Valve 81 is actuated through the winding machine control unit (not shown) when the yarn must be spliced. Thevalve 81 supplies aconduit 83 which opens on the bottom ofannular chamber 70. Advantageously, thepressurized air source 82 may coincide with thepressurized air source 32, which is already provided on the winding machine for other services. - In the embodiment of
Figures 4A and 4B , atapered surface 85 is formed at the top of the inner surface ofannular piston 71. A plurality ofballs 86 are arranged in the available space defined, at the upper end of thecylindrical casing 39, between thepiston 44 and the taperedsurface 85. The diameter of theballs 86 is of a size just less than that of the available space. - When pressurized air is let into
annular chamber 70 against the lower face ofannular piston 71 for opening thevalve 81, thepiston 71 is lifted. The taperedsurface 85 locks theballs 86 pressing them against thepiston 44, thereby clamping thepiston 44 and dragging upwards until it abuts it rests against thetop cover 74. - In an embodiment, a number of contrasting springs, not shown in the drawings for simplicity, are fitted between the upper face of
annular piston 71 and thetop cover 74 are. Those springs are loaded by the raising ofpiston 71. When thevalve 81 is controlled to open, in order to discharge the pressure existing inannular chamber 70, the thrust of the contrast springs prevails andannular piston 71 descends, bringing theballs 86 down and releasing thepiston 44. Thus,piston 44 returns to the previous level it was at before activation of theadditional device 65, allowing the package to rest again upon drivingcylinder 13. - With respect to prior art systems, the present invention offers significant advantages, amongst which at least the following should be mentioned. Control and actuation of the package-holder arm is always performed by a single pressurized air actuator, i.e. for exerting a counterbalancing action, for lifting the arm completely, as well as for causing the instant lifting of the arm to splice the yarn. The movement of the arm provides that the final part of its downward movement is slowed down so as to dampen the contact between the tube, or the initial package, and the driving cylinder. A complete lifting of the package-holder arm for doffing operations is no longer required to operators or to the doffing trolley of automatic winders. The arm is lifted due to a control signal by the control unit of the winding machine at the beginning of the doffing step, thereby facilitating the work of the operators or simplifying the doffing trolley, since the arm will have been already raised.
- According to a different embodiment (not shown), the actuator may have a reversed arrangement with respect to the embodiments shown in
figures 3A-B and 4A-B . According to such an alternative, thenarrower chamber 42 and the corresponding narrowercylindrical portion 46 of the piston may be at the top of the actuator, i.e. near thearm 14. Accordingly, also thesupply system 50 would need to be inverted, as iffigures 3A and 3B were tilted upside down.
