- the air-jet spinning device includes a spindle (or a hollow guide shaft body).
- the spindle has a cylindrical or conical shape around which a predetermined space (a whirling chamber) is formed.
- a whirling chamber a predetermined space
- fibers are swung around the spindle in the whirling chamber by an action of the whirling airflow. Accordingly, the twists are added to the fibers, and the spun yarn is generated.
- the spindle provided in the conventional air-jet spinning device is made of ceramics (sintering structure), toughness of the spindle is low and the spindle is fragile.
- the conventional spindle made of the ceramics is made thinner, breakage such as a cracking and/or a chipping may frequently occur. When the spindle is damaged, replacement is required and results in cost increase. Since making the conventional spindle even thinner is difficult, demand for the higher spinning speed has not been met sufficiently.
- the ceramics Since fraction is generated between the fibers and the spindle, static electricity occurs.

Thus, the spindle is required to be frequently cleaned in the conventional air-jet spinning device, and the cleaning task causes production efficiency to decrease.

Abrasion resistance of the hollow guide shaft body can be improved by the upper layer provided on the surface of the base member. Since the abrasion resistance is not required for the base member itself, a material having relatively high toughness can be employed for the base member. Accordingly, since breakage such as a cracking and/or a chipping of the hollow guide shaft body becomes less likely to occur, flexibility of a shape of the hollow guide shaft body is increased.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention mainly relates to a configuration of a hollow guide shaft body provided in an air-jet spinning device.
- There is known an air-jet spinning device adapted to add twists to a fiber bundle and to generate a spun yarn by applying a whirling airflow to the fiber bundle.
- The air-jet spinning device includes a spindle (or a hollow guide shaft body). The spindle has a cylindrical or conical shape around which a predetermined space (a whirling chamber) is formed. In the air-jet spinning device, fibers are swung around the spindle in the whirling chamber by an action of the whirling airflow. Accordingly, the twists are added to the fibers, and the spun yarn is generated.
- Since the fibers are swung around the spindle, friction is generated between a surface of the spindle and the fibers. Thus, abrasion resistance is required for the spindle of the air-jet spinning device. In textile industry, fine ceramics is typically employed as a member for which the abrasion resistance is required. The spindle made of the fine ceramics thus has been employed in a conventional air-jet spinning device. The air-jet spinning device provided with the spindle made of the fine ceramics is described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No.
10-317231 - Even higher spinning speed has been desired in recent years. Whirling speed of the fibers in the whirling chamber is required to be accelerated to increase the spinning speed in the air-jet spinning device. Therefore, consideration may be made to reduce a whirling radius of the fibers to enhance the whirling speed of the fibers by decreasing a radius of the spindle (making the spindle thinner).
- However, since the spindle provided in the conventional air-jet spinning device is made of ceramics (sintering structure), toughness of the spindle is low and the spindle is fragile. Thus, if the conventional spindle made of the ceramics is made thinner, breakage such as a cracking and/or a chipping may frequently occur. When the spindle is damaged, replacement is required and results in cost increase. Since making the conventional spindle even thinner is difficult, demand for the higher spinning speed has not been met sufficiently.
- Since fraction is generated between the fibers and the spindle, static electricity occurs. However, since the ceramics is typically insulator, the ceramics is likely to be electrically charged being unable to release electrical charge. Wastes such as fiber wastes are likely to attach to the surface of the charged spindle, which may cause an adverse effect on quality of the spun yarn to be generated. Thus, the spindle is required to be frequently cleaned in the conventional air-jet spinning device, and the cleaning task causes production efficiency to decrease.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a spindle that is less likely to be cracked, and to which the wastes such as the fiber wastes are less likely to attach.
- According to an aspect of the present invention, the following configuration of a hollow guide shaft body is provided, around which fibers whirl by an action of a whirling airflow in an air-jet spinning device and in which a fiber passage is formed where the fibers pass after being twisted by the whirling airflow. The hollow guide shaft body includes a base member having electrical conductivity, an upper layer provided at least on a portion of a surface of the base member and being harder than the base member.
- By making the base member electrically conductive, the hollow guide shaft body (spindle) is less likely to be electrically charged. Since wastes are less likely to attach to the hollow guide shaft body, quality of the spun yarn to be generated by the air-jet spinning device is enhanced, and time and labor to clean the hollow guide shaft body can be reduced. Abrasion resistance of the hollow guide shaft body can be improved by the upper layer provided on the surface of the base member. Since the abrasion resistance is not required for the base member itself, a material having relatively high toughness can be employed for the base member. Accordingly, since breakage such as a cracking and/or a chipping of the hollow guide shaft body becomes less likely to occur, flexibility of a shape of the hollow guide shaft body is increased. Since the hollow guide shaft body can be formed thinner (a diameter can be formed shorter) than before, for example, spinning speed of the air-jet spinning device can be enhanced by improving whirling speed of the fibers.
- In the hollow guide shaft body, the upper layer is preferably a diamond-like carbon coating.
- Accordingly, the upper layer having sufficient hardness can be formed. Since the diamond-like carbon coating has a low friction coefficient, friction that occurs between the hollow guide shaft body and the fibers can be reduced. Since the whirling speed of the fibers thus can be more improved, the spinning speed of the air-jet spinning device can be more enhanced.
- In the hollow guide shaft body, the upper layer preferably has electrical conductivity.
- Since the upper layer has electrical conductivity, the hollow guide shaft body becomes even less likely to be electrically charged, and the wastes become even less likely to attach to the hollow guide shaft body.
- In the hollow guide shaft body, the upper layer is provided on an inlet portion of the fiber passage and at least on a portion of an inner surface of the fiber passage.
- Since the fibers whirled in the air-jet spinning device make contact with the above-described positions of the hollow guide shaft body, by providing the upper layer on such positions, the abrasion resistance of the hollow guide shaft body can be improved.
- In the hollow guide shaft body, the base member is preferably formed from at least one of iron, conductive ceramics, refractory metal and stainless steel.
- By forming the base member of the hollow guide shaft body from a material having electrical conductivity, static electricity occurred by the friction between the hollow guide shaft body and the fibers can be reliably released.
- In the hollow guide shaft body, an intermediate layer adapted to adhere the upper layer and the base member is preferably provided between the upper layer and the base member.
- Accordingly, since the upper layer becomes less likely to be peeled off from the base member, durability of the hollow guide shaft body is improved.
- In the hollow guide shaft body, the upper layer is preferably black.
- By making the surface of the hollow guide shaft body black, the wastes such as fiber wastes attached to the surface can be easily recognized visually. Accordingly, the hollow guide shaft body can be easily cleaned at the time of maintenance or the like.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, an air-jet spinning device includes the hollow guide shaft body, a whirling chamber forming member in which a whirling chamber is formed in which the fibers are whirled, and a fiber guiding section adapted to guide the fibers to the whirling chamber.
- The air-jet spinning device can improve the spinning speed than before by employing the above-described hollow guide shaft body.
- According to yet another aspect of the present invention, a yarn winding machine includes the above-described air-jet spinning device and a winding section adapted to wind the spun yarn spun by the air-jet spinning device and to form a package.
- The yarn winding machine can improve a speed of generating the package than before by employing the above-described air-jet spinning device.

FIG. 7B is a view illustrating the hollow guide shaft body according to the embodiment of the present invention. - Next, a spinning machine (yarn winding machine) relating to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A spinning machine 1 as a yarn winding machine illustrated in
FIG. 1 mainly includes a plurality of spinningunits 2 arranged next to each other, and ayarn joining cart 3. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , each spinningunit 2 includes a draft device 4, an air-jet spinning device 5, ayarn monitoring device 6, ayarn accumulating device 7, and a windingsection 8 in this order from upstream towards downstream. "Upstream" and "downstream" in the present specification respectively indicate upstream and downstream in a travelling direction of a fiber bundle and a spun yarn at the time of spinning. - The draft device 4 drafts a sliver (a material of a fiber bundle) 9 into a
fiber bundle 10. The draft device 4 includes a plurality ofdraft rollers 11, 12, 13 and 14, and a plurality of opposing rollers arranged facing each draft roller. The plurality ofdraft rollers 11, 12, 13 and 14 are respectively rotated at a predetermined rotation speed. By sandwiching and transporting the sliver 9 supplied from a sliver case (not illustrated) between therotating draft rollers 11, 12, 13 and 14 and the opposing rollers facing thereto, the draft device 4 drafts the sliver 9 into thefiber bundle 10. Thefiber bundle 10 drafted in the draft device 4 is supplied to the air-jet spinning device 5. - The air-
jet spinning device 5 adds twists to thefiber bundle 10 and generates the spunyarn 15 by generating a whirling airflow in its interior and applying the whirling airflow to thefiber bundle 10. The configuration of the air-jet spinning device 5 will be described in detail later. - The spun
yarn 15 generated by the air-jet spinning device 5 passes through theyarn monitoring device 6. Theyarn monitoring device 6 monitors a state of the travelling spunyarn 15, and detects a yarn portion with abnormal quality in the spun yarn 15 (a yarn defect). Theyarn monitoring device 6 includes acutter 16 adapted to cut the spunyarn 15 when the yarn defect is detected. - The spun
yarn 15 that has passed through theyarn monitoring device 6 is wound around abobbin 17 by the windingsection 8. The windingsection 8 includes acradle arm 19, a windingdrum 20 and atraverse device 21. - The
cradle arm 19 rotatably supports thebobbin 17 around which the spunyarn 15 is wound. The windingdrum 20 rotates thebobbin 17 by being rotated in contact with an outer peripheral surface of thebobbin 17. Thetraverse device 21 includes atraverse guide 22 adapted to be driven from side to side (in a direction of a winding width of the bobbin 17) while being engaged with the spunyarn 15. The spunyarn 15 to be wound around thebobbin 17 is traversed by thetraverse device 21. - By the
spinning unit 2 configured as described above, the spunyarn 15 can be generated from the sliver 9 and wound around thebobbin 17. Thebobbin 17 around which the spunyarn 15 is wound is referred to as a "package". - In the spinning machine 1 of the present embodiment, the
yarn accumulating device 7 is arranged between theyarn monitoring device 6 and the windingsection 8. As illustrated inFIG. 2 , theyarn accumulating device 7 includes ayarn accumulating roller 23 and anelectric motor 25 adapted to rotate theyarn accumulating roller 23. - The
yarn accumulating roller 23 can temporarily accumulate a predetermined amount of the spunyarn 15 by winding the spunyarn 15 around an outer peripheral surface thereof. Since theyarn accumulating device 7 temporarily accumulates the spunyarn 15 in this manner, theyarn accumulating device 7 functions as a kind of a buffer. Accordingly, a fault (a slackening of the spunyarn 15, for example) in which a spinning speed in the air-jet spinning device 5 and a winding speed in the windingsection 8 do not correspond to each other for some reason can be resolved. - Each
spinning unit 2 includes aunit control section 26. Theunit control section 26 is adapted to appropriately control each configuration provided in thespinning unit 2. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , theyarn joining cart 3 includes ayarn joining device 27 and suction devices (asuction pipe 28 and a suction mouth 29). Theyarn joining cart 3 can travel along a direction in which thespinning units 2 are arranged next to each other (a left-right direction ofFIG. 1 ). In acertain spinning unit 2, when the spunyarn 15 between the air-jet spinning device 5 and the windingsection 8 is cut for some reason, theyarn joining cart 3 travels to a front of therelevant spinning unit 2 and joins the spunyarn 15 that has been cut (yarn joining). - The
yarn joining device 27 is adapted to join yarn ends. Although a configuration of theyarn joining device 27 is not limited particularly, an air splicer, for example, that twists the yarn ends together by a whirling airflow may be employed. Thesuction pipe 28 sucks and catches a yarn end fed from the air-jet spinning device 5, and guides the yarn end to theyarn joining device 27. Thesuction mouth 29 sucks and catches a yarn end from apackage 18 supported by the windingsection 8, and guides the yarn end to theyarn joining device 27. - Next, the configuration of the air-
jet spinning device 5 will be described in detail with reference toFIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a schematic vertical sectional view of the air-jet spinning device 5 when cut by a plane passing through an axis line of a hollowguide shaft body 32. - As illustrated in
FIG. 3 , the air-jet spinning device 5 includes a fiber guiding block (fiber guiding section) 30, anozzle block 31, the hollowguide shaft body 32 and acasing 33. Thecasing 33 is formed of anupstream casing 33a and adownstream casing 33b. - The
fiber guiding block 30 is provided with afiber introducing hole 34 adapted to introduce thefiber bundle 10 drafted in the draft device 4. Thefiber guiding block 30 holds a needle (the fiber guiding section) 44 arranged on a passage of thefiber bundle 10. Thefiber guiding block 30 is held by theupstream casing 33a. - The hollow
guide shaft body 32 includes a taperedportion 37 of which diameter increases towards downstream, and acolumnar portion 38 of which diameter is substantially constant. Thecolumnar portion 38 is connected to a large-diameter end of the taperedportion 37 such that axis lines of thecolumnar portion 38 and the taperedportion 37 correspond to each other. Afiber passage 39 is formed in axial centers of thecolumnar portion 38 and the taperedportion 37. Accordingly, the hollowguide shaft body 32 is hollow. - The tapered
portion 37 of the hollowguide shaft body 32 is arranged such that a small-diameter end thereof faces upstream. Thecolumnar portion 38 of the hollowguide shaft body 32 is held by thedownstream casing 33b. - An inlet of the
fiber passage 39 is opened at an upstream end portion (a small-diameter end portion of the tapered portion 37) of the hollowguide shaft body 32. The upstream end portion of the hollowguide shaft body 32 is referred to as aninlet portion 40 of thefiber passage 39. As illustrated inFIG. 3 , theinlet portion 40 is arranged facing a tip of theneedle 44. In the configuration as described above, thefiber bundle 10 that has been introduced into thefiber introducing hole 34 is introduced into thefiber passage 39 from theinlet portion 40 while being guided by the fiber guiding block 30 (the needle 44) (seeFIG. 4 ). A downstream end portion of thefiber passage 39 is an outlet hole that is not illustrated. - The
nozzle block 31 is provided with a whirlingchamber 41 and atapered chamber 42. Therefore, thenozzle block 31 may be referred to as a whirling chamber forming member. The whirlingchamber 41 is formed as a substantially cylindrical space and is continuous with thefiber introducing hole 34. The taperedchamber 42 is formed as a tapered space widening towards downstream. The taperedchamber 42 is positioned downstream of the whirlingchamber 41 being connected thereto. Thenozzle block 31 is held by theupstream casing 33a. - The
casing 33 is configured in an openable and closable manner. In a state in which thecasing 33 is closed (a state in which theupstream casing 33a and thedownstream casing 33b are close to each other, illustrated inFIG. 3 ), the taperedportion 37 of the hollowguide shaft body 32 is arranged such that a part of the taperedportion 37 is inserted inside of the whirlingchamber 41 and the taperedchamber 42. The hollowguide shaft body 32 is arranged such that its axis line corresponds to axis lines of the whirlingchamber 41 and the taperedchamber 42. In a state in which thecasing 33 is closed, a predetermined space (the whirlingchamber 41 and tapered chamber 42) is formed between an outer peripheral surface of the hollowguide shaft body 32 and an inner surface of thenozzle block 31. When the spunyarn 15 is generated by the air-jet spinning device 5, thecasing 33 is closed in this manner. - By bringing the
casing 33 into an opened state (a state in which theupstream casing 33a and thedownstream casing 33b are separated from each other, not illustrated), thenozzle block 31 and thefiber guiding block 30 can be separated from the hollowguide shaft body 32. Accordingly, the hollowguide shaft body 32 can be exposed outside. For example, when wastes such as fiber wastes attach to the hollowguide shaft body 32, thecasing 33 can be opened to expose the hollowguide shaft body 32 as described above and cleaning can be performed on the hollowguide shaft body 32. - An
air supply chamber 35 is formed around thenozzle block 31. A compressedair supply pipe 36 connected to a compressed air source that is not illustrated is connected to theupstream casing 33a. Accordingly, compressed air can be supplied from the compressed air source to theair supply chamber 35. - The
nozzle block 31 is provided with one or more air-jet nozzles 43 that is continuous with the whirlingchamber 41 and theair supply chamber 35. The air-jet nozzle 43 is formed such that its longitudinal direction faces a substantially tangential direction of the whirlingchamber 41 when seen in a plan view. The compressed air supplied to theair supply chamber 35 is jetted into the inside of the whirlingchamber 41 via the air-jet nozzle 43. Accordingly, the whirling airflow occurs that flows whirling in one direction around the axis line of the hollowguide shaft body 32. - As illustrated in
FIG. 3 , the air-jet nozzle 43 is formed such that its longitudinal direction is slightly inclined to downstream. Accordingly, the compressed air jetted from the air-jet nozzle 43 can be flown towards downstream. - In the configuration described above, the compressed air jetted from the air-
jet nozzle 43 flows towards downstream while whirling around the hollowguide shaft body 32 in the whirlingchamber 41. In this manner, a spiral whirling airflow that flows towards downstream can be generated in the whirlingchamber 41. - Next, in the air-
jet spinning device 5 of the present embodiment, how the twists are added to thefiber bundle 10, and the spunyarn 15 is generated will be described with reference toFIG. 4 . InFIG. 4 , the flow of the air in the air-jet spinning device 5 is indicated by a bold line arrow. - The
fiber bundle 10 consists of a plurality of fibers. While a downstream end portion of each fiber that constitutes thefiber bundle 10 is twisted into thefiber bundle 10 to which the twists are being added, an upstream end portion thereof is a free end. The free end of each fiber introduced from thefiber introducing hole 34 to an interior of the air-jet spinning device 5 is flown to downstream by the airflow generated by the jetted air from the air-j et nozzle 43. Since the upstream end portion (the free end) of the fibers is flown to downstream, an orientation of the upstream end portion is "reversed" and faces downstream (a lower side ofFIG. 4 ). The fibers in this state are referred to asreversal fibers 10b. - A part of fibers included in the
fiber bundle 10 become connected between thefiber introducing hole 34 and thefiber passage 39. The fibers in this state are referred to ascore fibers 10a. - The free end of the
reversal fibers 10b is affected by the whirling airflow spirally flowing around the hollowguide shaft body 32 in the whirlingchamber 41. Accordingly, as illustrated inFIG. 4 , thereversal fibers 10b whirl around the taperedportion 37 along a surface of the taperedportion 37 of the hollowguide shaft body 32. Thereversal fibers 10b are thus orderly wound around thecore fibers 10a. - The
core fibers 10a are twisted by being accompanied by thewhirling reversal fibers 10b. Since thereversal fibers 10b are wound around thecore fibers 10a, and the twists are further added to thecore fibers 10a, thereversal fibers 10b are twisted into thecore fibers 10a and the spunyarn 15 is generated. - Although the twists of the
core fibers 10a are likely to propagate to upstream (towards a front roller 14), the propagation is prevented by theneedle 44. Theneedle 44 includes a function to prevent the propagation of the twists. - Since the spun
yarn 15 generated in the air-jet spinning device 5 is to be wound by the windingsection 8, transporting force towards downstream is applied to the relevant spunyarn 15. Accordingly, the spunyarn 15 and thecore fibers 10a are entirely transported towards downstream. Thereversal fibers 10b wound around thecore fibers 10a are drawn into thefiber passage 39 from theinlet portion 40 of thefiber passage 39 by being accompanied by thecore fibers 10a transported towards downstream. - As described above, since the
reversal fibers 10b are swung around the taperedportion 37 of the hollowguide shaft body 32, friction occurs between an outer peripheral surface of the taperedportion 37 and thereversal fibers 10b. However, the friction does not occur on the entire outer peripheral surface of the taperedportion 37, and the friction mainly occurs in a portion that is close to theinlet portion 40 on the outer peripheral surface of the tapered portion 37 (a portion indicated by 37a inFIG. 5 ). - As described above, since the
reversal fibers 10b are drawn into thefiber passage 39 from the inlet portion 40 (the upstream end portion of the hollow guide shaft body 32), strong friction occurs on an end surface of theinlet portion 40, and in a portion that is close to theinlet portion 40 on an inner surface of the fiber passage 39 (a portion indicated by 39a inFIG. 5 ). - Therefore, especially the
portions guide shaft body 32 are collectively referred to as a "fiber-contacting portion" (a portion indicated by a bold line inFIG. 5 ). - Next, a characteristic configuration of the present embodiment will be described.
- The hollow
guide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment includes abase member 50 made of stainless steel in which a thin coating (an upper layer 51) is formed on a surface thereof. In the present embodiment, anintermediate layer 52 is formed between thebase member 50 and theupper layer 51. The configuration of the hollowguide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment is schematically illustrated inFIG. 6 . - In the hollow
guide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment, theupper layer 51 is a coating by a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating. Since the upper layer 51 (DLC coating) is considerably thin, a large part of the hollowguide shaft body 32 consists of thebase member 50 made of the stainless steel. Since the stainless steel has favorable electrical conductivity, the hollowguide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment has favorable electrical conductivity. Therefore, the hollowguide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment can easily release the static electricity occurred by the friction with the fibers. - The
downstream casing 33b holding the hollowguide shaft body 32 is made of a material having favorable electrical conductivity (specifically, metal) to release the static electricity of the hollowguide shaft body 32. Furthermore, thedownstream casing 33b is electrically connected to a metallic frame of thespinning unit 2. The metallic frame is grounded. - According to the configuration described above, since the hollow
guide shaft body 32 becomes less likely to be electrically charged, the wastes such as the fiber wastes are less likely to attach to the surface of the hollowguide shaft body 32. Accordingly, since the surface of the hollowguide shaft body 32 can always be maintained clean, the quality of the spunyarn 15 to be generated by the air-jet spinning device 5 can be enhanced. Since time and labor for maintenance such as cleaning of the surface of the hollowguide shaft body 32 can be reduced, productivity of thespinning unit 2 can be enhanced. - Since the large part of the hollow
guide shaft body 32 consists of thebase member 50 made of stainless steel, toughness is substantially improved in comparison with the conventional hollow guide shaft body made of the ceramics (sintering structure). Accordingly, since the breakage such as the cracking and/or the chipping of the hollowguide shaft body 32 is less likely to occur, the flexibility of the shape of the hollowguide shaft body 32 can be increased. - For example, in the conventional hollow
guide shaft body 132 illustrated inFIG. 7A , when the diameter of the taperedportion 37 is reduced, a thickness in a direction orthogonal to an axial direction of the hollowguide shaft body 32 becomes thin. Since the conventional hollowguide shaft body 132 has been made of the ceramics, the breakage such as the cracking and/or the chipping is likely to occur when the thickness becomes thin. It was thus difficult to decrease the diameter of the conventional hollowguide shaft body 132. In this respect, since the hollowguide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment has adequate toughness, the breakage such as the cracking and/or the chipping is less likely to occur even when the thickness becomes thin by making the diameter of the taperedportion 37 smaller (the taperedportion 37 thinner) than before. In this manner, the diameter of the taperedportion 37 of the hollowguide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment can be made smaller (the taperedportion 37 can be made thinner) than before. Since whirling radius of the fibers can be reduced, the spinning speed of the air-jet spinning device 5 can be improved. - In the hollow
guide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment, theupper layer 51 consisting of the DLC coating is formed on the surface of thebase member 50 made of the stainless steel. As publicly known, the hardness of the DLC coating is considerably higher in comparison with the stainless steel. Therefore, by forming the upper layer 51 (the DLC coating) on the surface of thebase member 50, the abrasion resistance of the hollowguide shaft body 32 can be considerably improved. - From a perspective of improving the abrasion resistance of the hollow
guide shaft body 32, theupper layer 51 is preferably formed at least on a portion with which the fibers are in contact (the fiber-contacting portion illustrated inFIG. 5 ). In the hollowguide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment, theupper layer 51 is formed on the entire outer peripheral surface of the base member 50 (peripheral surfaces of the taperedportion 37 and the columnar portion 38), an end surface of theinlet portion 40, and a portion that is close to theinlet portion 40 of an inner wall surface of the fiber passage 39 (a portion illustrated by 39a inFIG. 5 ). Theupper layer 51 may be entirely formed on the inner surface of thefiber passage 39. - Since the DLC coating has amorphous nature, the DLC coating is superior in smoothness and has low frictional properties. Thus, the friction between the hollow
guide shaft body 32 and thereversal fibers 10b can be reduced. Therefore, thereversal fibers 10b can be smoothly whirled around the hollowguide shaft body 32 enabling the whirling speed of thereversal fibers 10b to be enhanced. According to the hollowguide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment, the spinning speed of the air-jet spinning device 5 can be further improved. - As described above, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, the hollow
guide shaft body 32 having the abrasion resistance and the toughness has low frictional properties and has the electrical conductivity. Accordingly, in comparison with the conventional hollow guide shaft body made of the ceramics, the spinning speed can be enhanced by improving the whirling speed of the fibers. - The conventional hollow guide shaft body made of fine ceramics is white or nearly white. Therefore, there has been a problem in which even when the wastes such as the fiber wastes (typically white) attach to the hollow guide shaft body, the wastes are difficult to be found.
- Since the DLC coating is typically black, the surface of the hollow
guide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment to which the DLC coating is applied is black. Thus, when the wastes such as the fiber wastes attach to the hollowguide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment, the wastes can be easily found. As a result, a necessity of the maintenance such as cleaning of the hollowguide shaft body 32 can be appropriately determined. Therefore, since an unnecessary maintenance is not performed, the productivity of thespinning unit 2 can be improved. - As a method of forming the above-described DLC coating, a publicly-known appropriate method may be employed. However, the DLC coating, according to the method of forming, may have electrical conductivity or may not. From a perspective of preventing the hollow
guide shaft body 32 from being electrically charged, in addition to thebase member 50, theupper layer 51 also preferably has electrical conductivity. Therefore, theupper layer 51 of the hollowguide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment is the DLC coating having the electrical conductivity. Accordingly, since the hollowguide shaft body 32 becomes even less likely to be electrically charged, the wastes are efficiently prevented from attaching to the surface of the hollowguide shaft body 32. - Next, the
intermediate layer 52 will be described. - Since a toughness of the stainless steel and a toughness of the DLC coating differ considerably, an adhesion between the stainless steel and the DLC coating is low. Thus, if the DLC coating is directly formed on the surface of the
base member 50, the DLC coating may be peeled off from thebase member 50. In the present embodiment, theintermediate layer 52 is provided between thebase member 50 and theupper layer 51 to improve the adhesion between thebase member 50 and theupper layer 51. - The
intermediate layer 52 is merely required to have hardness intermediate between hardness of theupper layer 51 and hardness of thebase member 50. Furthermore, theintermediate layer 52 is preferably configured in a multilayered manner such that hardness thereof gradually becomes higher from thebase member 50 to theupper layer 51. In the present embodiment, theintermediate layer 52 consists of aheat treatment layer 53, anitriding treatment layer 54 and aplating layer 55 in this order from thebase member 50. - The
heat treatment layer 53 is a portion in which the hardness of the surface of thebase member 50 is improved by adding heat treatment such as quenching and tempering to thebase member 50 made of stainless steel. - The
nitriding treatment layer 54 is a portion in which publicly-known nitriding treatment is performed on the surface of thebase member 50 after the heat treatment is applied thereto. Accordingly, the hardness of the surface of thebase member 50 can be further improved. If a chemical compound layer is formed on the surface of thebase member 50 by the nitriding treatment, the chemical compound layer may be peeled off from the surface of thebase member 50. Therefore, a nitriding method for forming only a diffusion layer without forming the chemical compound layer (a radical nitriding method, for example) is preferably employed. - The
plating layer 55 is a portion in which a hard plating coating using tungsten and/or chromium and the like is formed on the surface of thebase member 50 after the nitriding treatment is applied thereto. - The
intermediate layer 52 is formed as described above to improve the adhesion between thebase member 50 and theupper layer 51, which can prevent the upper layer 51 (the DLC coating) from being peeled off from thebase member 50. Since theintermediate layer 52 has electrical conductivity, theintermediate layer 52 can release static electricity from theupper layer 51 to thebase member 50 that occurred by friction between theupper layer 51 and thereversal fibers 10b. - As described above, the fibers whirl around the hollow
guide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment by the action of the whirling airflow in the air-jet spinning device 5. Thefiber passage 39 is formed in the hollowguide shaft body 32. The fibers to which the twists have been added by the whirling airflow pass through thefiber passage 39. The hollowguide shaft body 32 includes thebase member 50 having electrical conductivity, and theupper layer 51 provided on the surface of thebase member 50 and being harder than thebase member 50. - By making the
base member 50 electrically conductive, the hollowguide shaft body 32 becomes less likely to be electrically charged. Accordingly, since the wastes become less likely to attach to the hollowguide shaft body 32, the quality of the spunyarn 15 to be generated by the air-jet spinning device 5 is improved, and the time and labor to clean the hollowguide shaft body 32 can be reduced. Abrasion resistance of the hollowguide shaft body 32 can be improved by theupper layer 51 provided on the surface of thebase member 50. Since the abrasion resistance is not required for thebase member 50 itself, a material of relatively high toughness can be employed for thebase member 50. Accordingly, since the breakage such as the cracking and/or the chipping of the hollowguide shaft body 32 become less likely to occur, the flexibility of the shape of the hollowguide shaft body 32 is increased. Since the hollowguide shaft body 32 can be formed thinner (the diameter can be formed smaller) than before, for example, the spinning speed of the air-jet spinning device 5 can be enhanced by improving the whirling speed of the fibers. - In the hollow
guide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment, theupper layer 51 is a diamond-like carbon coating. - Accordingly, the
upper layer 51 having sufficient hardness can be formed. Since the diamond-like carbon coating has a low friction coefficient, the friction that occurs between the hollowguide shaft body 32 and the fibers can be reduced. Since the whirling speed of the fibers thus can be more improved, the spinning speed of the air-jet spinning device 5 can be more enhanced. - In the hollow
guide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment, theupper layer 51 is the DLC coating having the electrical conductivity. - Since the
upper layer 51 has the electrical conductivity, the hollowguide shaft body 32 becomes even less likely to be electrically charged, and the wastes become even less likely to attach to the hollowguide shaft body 32. - In the hollow
guide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment, theupper layer 51 is provided on theinlet portion 40 of thefiber passage 39, and at least on aportion 39a of the inner surface of thefiber passage 39, that is close to theinlet portion 40. - Since the fibers whirled in the air-
jet spinning device 5 make contact with the above-described positions of the hollowguide shaft body 32, by providing theupper layer 51 on such positions, the abrasion resistance of the hollowguide shaft body 32 can be improved. - In the hollow
guide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment, thebase member 50 is formed of the stainless steel. - By forming the
base member 50 of the hollowguide shaft body 32 from the material having the electrical conductivity, the static electricity that occurs by the friction between the hollowguide shaft body 32 and the fibers can be reliably released. - In the hollow
guide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment, theintermediate layer 52 adapted to adhere theupper layer 51 and thebase member 50, is provided between theupper layer 51 and thebase member 50. - Accordingly, since the
upper layer 51 becomes less likely to be peeled off from thebase member 50, durability of the hollowguide shaft body 32 is improved. - In the hollow
guide shaft body 32 of the present embodiment, theupper layer 51 is black. - By making the surface of the hollow
guide shaft body 32 black, the wastes such as fiber wastes attached to the surface can be easily recognized visually. Accordingly, the hollowguide shaft body 32 can be easily cleaned at the time of the maintenance or the like. - The air-
jet spinning device 5 of the present embodiment includes the hollowguide shaft body 32, thenozzle block 31 in which thewhirling chamber 41 is formed in which the fibers are whirled, and theneedle 44 adapted to guide the fibers to the whirlingchamber 41. - The air-
jet spinning device 5 can improve the spinning speed than before by employing the above-described hollowguide shaft body 32. - The spinning machine 1 of the present embodiment includes the above-described air-
jet spinning device 5 and the windingsection 8 adapted to wind the spunyarn 15 spun by the air-jet spinning device 5 and to form thepackage 18. - The spinning machine 1 can improve the speed of generating the
package 18 than before by employing the above-described air-jet spinning device 5. - Although a preferable embodiment of the present invention is described above, the configurations described above may be changed as follows, for example.
- A material of the base member is not limited to the stainless steel, and may be a material having favorable electrical conductivity is sufficient. As such a material, there may be iron, conductive ceramics, refractory metal (tungsten carbide and the like), or the like. However, in terms of having corrosion resistance as well as adequate toughness, the
base member 50 is preferably made of the stainless steel as the above-described embodiment. - In the above-described embodiment, the upper layer 51 (the DLC coating) is formed on the entire outer peripheral surface of the
base member 50. Accordingly, the abrasion resistance of the entire hollowguide shaft body 32 can be improved. However, from a perspective of preventing abrasion of thebase member 50 caused by contact with the fibers, theupper layer 51 is not necessarily provided on the entire outer peripheral surface of thebase member 50, but theupper layer 51 is sufficient to be formed at least on the portions of thebase member 50 with which the fibers make contact (the fiber-contactingportions FIG. 5 ). Since the DLC coating is typically expensive, by forming theupper layer 51 only on the above-described fiber-contacting portions, production cost of the hollowguide shaft body 32 can be reduced. - Since the
intermediate layer 52 is adapted to improve the adhesion between thebase member 50 and theupper layer 51, theintermediate layer 52 may be omitted when the adhesion between thebase member 50 and theupper surface 51 is sufficient. - The
upper layer 51 is not limited to the DLC coating, and may be a layer being harder than thebase member 50. For example, any one of the intermediate layer 52 (theplating layer 55, thenitriding treatment layer 54 and the heat treatment layer 53) is harder than the base member 50 (the stainless steel). Therefore, when the DLC coating illustrated inFIG. 6 is omitted, for example, theplating layer 55 can be recognized as an "upper layer". - In the same manner, when the DLC coating and the
plating layer 55 illustrated inFIG. 6 are omitted, thenitriding treatment layer 54 can be recognized as an "upper layer". Since thenitriding treatment layer 54 is inferior to the DLC coating in terms of hardness, the abrasion resistance may be not sufficient. Therefore, when the upper layer is thenitriding treatment layer 54, the hollowguide shaft body 32 may be abraded by the friction with the fibers. However, when the upper layer is thenitriding treatment layer 54, since the expensive DLC coating is omitted, the hollowguide shaft body 32 can be advantageously configured in a low-cost manner. Therefore, even if the abraded hollowguide shaft body 32 is replaced with a new hollowguide shaft body 32, a burden in terms of cost is light. - The
needle 44 may be omitted. In this case, thefiber bundle 10 is introduced into the whirlingchamber 41 while being guided by the inner wall surface of thefiber introducing hole 34 formed in thefiber guiding block 30. In this case, thefiber guiding block 30 itself can be recognized as a "fiber guiding section".
