Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Streckwerk für eine Spinnmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a drafting system for a spinning machine according to the preamble of claim 1.

Im Zusammenhang mit Spinnmaschinen, beispielsweise Ringspinnmaschinen, sind Streckwerke in verschiedenen Ausführungsformen bekannt und in zahlreichen Patent-anmeldungen ausführlich beschrieben. Solche Streckwerke unterscheiden sich zum Beispiel hinsichtlich der Anzahl ihrer Walzenpaare und/oder in Bezug auf die konstruktive Ausgestaltung der Pendelträger, die die Oberwalzen aufnehmen. Auch bezüglich der genauen Ausbildung oder der Ausrüstung der verschiedenen Walzenpaare sind zum Teil erhebliche Unterschiede bekannt.Draw frames in various embodiments are known in connection with spinning machines, for example ring spinning machines, and are described in detail in numerous patent applications. Such drafting systems differ, for example, in terms of the number of pairs of rollers and / or in relation to the structural design of the pendulum carrier, which receive the top rollers. Also with regard to the exact training or the equipment of the different pairs of rollers considerable differences are sometimes known.

Im Zusammenhang mit Ringspinnmaschinen sind beispielsweise Streckwerke weit ver breitet, bei denen die Unterwalzen als maschinenlange Bauteile ausgebildet sind, die aus einer Vielzahl von Walzensegmenten zusammengesetzt sind.
Diese maschinenlangen Unterwalzen werden in der Regel durch einen starken, maschinenendseitig in einem Antriebsgestell der Textilmaschine angeordneten Streckwerksmotor angetrieben, der über ein zwischengeschaltetes Untersetzungsgetriebe dafür sorgt, dass die Eingangs-, die Mittel- und Ausgangsunterwalzen mit unterschiedlichen Drehzahlen rotieren und dabei das vorgelegte Fasermaterial ordnungsgemäß verziehen.
In connection with ring spinning machines, for example drafting systems are widely ver spreads, in which the lower rollers are formed as machine-length components, which are composed of a plurality of roller segments.
These machine-length lower rollers are usually driven by a strong, machine end side arranged in a drive frame of the textile machine drafting motor, which ensures via an intermediate reduction gear that rotate the input, the center and output lower rollers at different speeds and thereby distort the submitted fiber material properly ,

Bei leistungsstarken Streckwerken, wie sie an modernen Ringspinnmaschinen zum Einsatz kommen, ist das Mittelwalzenpaar mit so genannten Verzugsriemchen ausgestattet. Das heißt, bei diesen modernen Streckwerken weist sowohl die Mittelobenrwalze, als auch die Mittelunterwalze jeweils ein solches Verzugsriemchen auf, das das zu verziehende Faserband im Bereich des so genannten Hauptverzugsfeldes sichert.In high-performance drafting systems, such as those used on modern ring spinning machines, the middle roller pair is equipped with so-called drafting straps. That is, in these modern drafting systems, both the Mittelobenrwalze, as well as the middle lower roller each have such Verzugsriemchen that secures the sliver to be forgiven in the region of the so-called main drafting zone.

Ein modernes Riemchenstreckwerk, insbesondere zum Verziehen von feuerhemmendem und hitzebeständigem Garn ist beispielsweise in der US 7, 937, 924 B2 beschrieben.
Bei diesem bekannten Riemchenstreckwerk ist die Eingangsunterwalze auf einem Schlitten gelagert, der definiert verschiebbar auf einer Stanze so angeordnet ist, dass die Verzugsweite des so genannten Vorverzugsfeldes einstellbar ist.
In entsprechenden Lagereinrichtungen der Stanze sind auch die Mittelunterwalze und die Ausgangsunterwalze des Streckwerks gelagert, wobei sowohl die Mittelunterwalze, als auch die Mitteloberwalze, wie bei Riemchenstreckwerken üblich, jeweils mit einem Verzugsriemchen ausgestattet sind.
A modern Riemchenstreckwerk, in particular for warping of fire-retardant and heat-resistant yarn is for example in the US 7, 937, 924 B2 described.
In this known Riemchenstreckwerk the input sub-roller is mounted on a carriage which is defined slidably mounted on a punch so that the default range of the so-called default zone is adjustable.
In corresponding storage facilities of the punch and the center lower roller and the lower roller output of the drafting system are stored, both the middle lower roller, and the middle upper roller, as usual in Riemchenstreckwerken, each equipped with a delay straps.

Die CH 256210 A offenbart ein Streckwerk zum Bearbeiten von Filamenten. Das Streckwerk ist in zwei unabhängig voneinander arbeitenden Teilstreckwerken unterteilt. Das erste Teilstreckwerk ist als Reißstreckwerk ausgebildet. Dem Reißstreckwerk nachgelagert ist ein Verzugsstreckwerk angeordnet. Das Verzugsstreckwerk weist in bekannter Weise ein Verzugsriemchen auf. Zwischen den beiden Teilstreckwerken ist ein Kondenser angeordnet.The CH 256210 A discloses a drafting device for processing filaments. The drafting system is divided into two independently working partial drafting systems. The first part drafting system is designed as a draft-drafting system. Downstream of the tensile drafting system is arranged a draft drafting system. The drafting drafting equipment has a delay apron in a known manner. Between the two partial drafting a condenser is arranged.

Des Weiteren sind seit langem, zum Beispiel durch die DE 28 46 065 A , die DE 30 16 409 A1 oder die DE 31 28 870 A1 auch Streckwerke bekannt, die ohne derartige Verzugsriemchen arbeiten.
Diese Streckwerke kommen allerdings nicht bei Spinnmaschinen, sondern nur bei Textilmaschinen zum Einsatz, die mit einem relativ geringen Faserbandverzug arbeiten, beispielweise bei Strecken oder bei Flyern.
Furthermore, for a long time, for example by the DE 28 46 065 A , the DE 30 16 409 A1 or the DE 31 28 870 A1 Also drafting known that work without such Verzugsriemchen.
However, these drafting systems are not used in spinning machines, but only in textile machines that work with a relatively low sliver distortion, for example, on routes or flyers.

Ausgehend von vorstehend beschriebenen Streckwerken liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Streckwerk für eine Ringspinnmaschine zu schaffen, das so ausgebildet ist, dass ein aus Filamenten bestehendes Vorlagematerial zuverlässig und schnell verarbeitet werden kann. Das heißt, auf dem erfindungsgemäßen Streckwerk sollen beispielsweise feuerhemmende und hitzebeständige Filamente so bearbeitet werden können, dass sie auf einer nachgeschalteten Ringspinnvorrichtung zu einem Fasermaterial gesponnen werden können, aus dem später Kleidungsstücke gefertigt werden können, die ein angenehmes Tragverhalten aufweisen.Starting from drafting units described above, the invention has for its object to provide a drafting system for a ring spinning machine, which is designed so that an existing filament template material can be processed reliably and quickly. That is, on the drafting system according to the invention, for example, fire-retardant and heat-resistant filaments are to be processed so that they can be spun on a downstream ring spinning device to a fiber material, from which later garments can be made, which have a comfortable wearing behavior.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Streckwerk gelöst, das die im Anspruch 1 beschriebenen Merkmale aufweist.This object is achieved by a drafting system having the features described in claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Das erfindungsgemäße Streckwerk, bei dem die Oberflächen aller Walzenpaare ohne Zwischenschaltung von Riemchen jeweils untereinander in Kontakt stehen, um dieThe drafting device according to the invention, in which the surfaces of all pairs of rollers are in contact with each other without the interposition of straps to the

Filamente klemmend zu führen, dabei über die unterschiedlichen Umlaufgeschwindigkeiten zu zerreißen und als Stapelfasern zu verziehen, hat insbesondere den Vorteil, dass durch den Verzicht auf Verzugsriemchen zuverlässig verhindert wird, dass die Filamente nach dem Zerreißen Wickel bilden können, die einen weiteren, sachgerechten Betrieb des Streckwerks unmöglich machen würden.To lead filaments by clamping, thereby ripping over the different speeds of rotation and forgiving as staple fibers, has the particular advantage that is reliably prevented by dispensing Verzugsriemchen that the filaments can form after breaking wraps, a further, proper operation of the Drafting would make impossible.

Durch die Lagerung der Oberwalzen in einem Pendelträger, bei dem die Belastungskraft der Ausgangsoberwalzen größer als 35 daN eingestellt ist, wird außerdem gewährleistet, dass die Filamente zwischen der Ausgangsober- und Unterwalze mit einer so hohen Klemmkraft beaufschlagt werden, dass sie insbesondere zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Mittel- und Ausgangswalzenpaaren, die mit unterschiedlichen Rotationsgeschwindigkeiten umlaufen, zerrissen werden. Das heißt, das Ausgangswalzenpaar, das mit einer höheren Rotationsgeschwindigkeit umläuft als das davor angeordnete Mittelwalzenpaar, sorgt dafür, dass die Filamente zwischen diesen Walzenpaaren, die ein so genanntes Hauptverzugsfeld bilden, zuverlässig getrennt werden. Für die Eingangs- und Mitteloberwalzen genügt hingegen eine Belastungskraft größer 25 daN.By supporting the upper rollers in a pendulum carrier in which the loading force of the output top rollers is set greater than 35 daN, it is also ensured that the filaments between the top and bottom roller are subjected to such a high clamping force that they are in particular between successive middle and output roller pairs circulating at different rotational speeds are torn. That is, the pair of outfeed rollers revolving at a higher rotational speed than the intermediate roller pair arranged in front of them ensures that the filaments between these pairs of rollers, which form a so-called main drafting zone, are reliably separated. For the input and middle top rollers, however, a loading force of more than 25 daN is sufficient.

In Förderrichtung hinter dem Ausgangswalzenpaar ist des Weiteren eine Verdichtungseinrichtung installiert, die anschließend für eine Bündelung des durch das Zerreißen entstandenen offenen Filamentstranges sorgt und damit gewährleistet, dass dieser Filamentstrang durch die Spindel einer Arbeitsstelle einer Spinnmaschine, vorzugsweise durch eine Ringspinnspindel, zu einem Garn gesponnen werden kann, das in nachfolgenden Arbeitsschritten weiter verarbeitbar ist.In the conveying direction behind the pair of output rollers, a compacting device is further installed, which then ensures bundling of the resulting through the tearing open filament strand and thus ensures that this filament strand are spun by the spindle of a workstation of a spinning machine, preferably by a ring spinning spindle to a yarn can be further processed in subsequent work steps.

In vorteilhafter Ausführungsform ist außerdem vorgesehen, dass an das Streckwerk eine Einrichtung zum Abführen elektrostatischer Aufladungen angeschlossen ist (Anspr.2).
Durch den Einsatz einer solchen Einrichtung kann speziell bei erfindungsgemäßer Verarbeitung synthetischer Filamente, die bekanntlich in der Regel nur eine geringe elektrische Leitfähigkeit aufweisen, verhindert werden, dass es während des Betriebs des Streckwerkes zum Entstehen elektrostatischer Aufladungen kommt.
In an advantageous embodiment it is also provided that a device for discharging electrostatic charges is connected to the drafting system (Anspr.2).
The use of such a device can be prevented, especially during inventive processing of synthetic filaments, which are known to have only a low electrical conductivity, as a rule, that electrostatic charging occurs during operation of the drafting system.

Solche elektrostatische Aufladungen behindern nämlich nicht nur die Herstellung eines ordnungsgemäßen Garns erheblich, sondern stellen, insbesondere wenn es zu einer schlagartigen Entladung kommt, auch eine Gefahr für das Bedienpersonal dar.Namely, such electrostatic charges not only hinder the production of a proper yarn considerably, but also pose a danger to the operating personnel, especially when it comes to a sudden discharge.

Wie in den Ansprüchen 3 und 4 des Weiteren beschrieben, ist in vorteilhafter Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass die Oberwalzen jeweils mit einem Bezug ausgerüstet sind, der eine Härte von 60 bis 90 Shore, das heißt, 60 bis 70 Shore für die Ausgangsoberwalzen und 80 bis 90 Shore für die Eingangs- und Mitteloberwalzen aufweist. Eine solche Ausbildung der Bezüge der Oberwalzen ermöglicht den Einsatz von Pendelträgern, die eine hohe Belastungskraft der Oberwalzen gestatten. Das heißt, es kann ein Pendelträger eingesetzt werden, bei dem zwischen den Oberwalzen und den zugehörigen geriffelten Unterwalzen eine hohe Klemmkraft einstellbar ist. Durch den Einsatz derartiger Bezüge auf den Oberwalzen kann zuverlässig vermieden werden, dass die Bezüge der Oberwalzen einem zu großen Verschleiß unterliegen oder durch die strukturierten Arbeitsflächen der Unterwalzen beschädigt werden.As further described in claims 3 and 4, it is provided in an advantageous embodiment that the top rollers are each provided with a cover having a hardness of 60 to 90 Shore, that is, 60 to 70 Shore for the top rollers and 80 to 90 Shore for the input and middle top rollers. Such a design of the covers of the top rollers allows the use of pendulum carriers, which allow a high loading force of the top rollers. That is, it can be used a pendulum carrier in which a high clamping force is adjustable between the top rollers and the associated corrugated bottom rollers. By using such covers on the top rollers can be reliably avoided that the covers of the top rollers are subject to excessive wear or damaged by the textured work surfaces of the bottom rollers.

Gemäß Anspruch 5 ist in vorteilhafter Weise die Belastungskraft der der Eingangs- und Mittelwalzen größer als 25 daN.Advantageously, according to claim 5, the loading force of the input and center rollers is greater than 25 daN.

Wie in den Ansprüchen 6 und 7 beschrieben, weisen in vorteilhafter Ausführungsform die Oberwalzen einen Durchmesser von 40 - 60 mm und die Unterwalzen einen Durchmesser von 30 - 40 mm auf.
Bei entsprechenden, an die Verhältnisse der Praxis angenäherten Versuchen hat sich gezeigt, dass solche Walzendurchmesser sowohl im Bereich der Ober- als auch im Bereich der Unterwalzen optimal sind. Das heißt, als Unterwalzen haben sich strukturierte Wellensegmente mit einem Durchmesser von 38 mm, die zu einem durchgehenden, maschinenendseitig angetriebenen Bauteil verbunden sind, als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen.
Die jeweils in einem Pendelträger gelagerten Oberwalzen weisen vorzugsweise einen Durchmesser von 50 mm auf, was sich in Kombination mit den vorstehend beschriebenen, strukturierten Unterwalzen mit einem Durchmesser von 38 mm ebenfalls als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen hat.
As described in claims 6 and 7, in an advantageous embodiment, the top rollers have a diameter of 40-60 mm and the bottom rollers have a diameter of 30-40 mm.
With appropriate, approximated to the conditions of practice experiments has been found that such roller diameters are optimal both in the upper and in the area of the lower rollers. That is, as a lower rollers, structured shaft segments having a diameter of 38 mm, which are connected to a continuous, machine-end driven component, have proven to be very advantageous.
The top rollers each mounted in a pendulum carrier preferably have a diameter of 50 mm, which has also proved to be very advantageous in combination with the above-described, structured bottom rollers with a diameter of 38 mm.

Gemäß Anspruch 6 weist das Streckwerk eine Verdichtungseinrichtung auf, die an eine Unterdruckquelle angeschlossen ist. Die Verdichtungseinrichtung sorgt dafür, dass der getrennte Filamentstrang im Bereich einer so genannten Verdichtungszone zu einem Gebilde gebündelt wird, das anschließend auf einer Ringspinnspindel zu einem Faden versponnen werden kann.According to claim 6, the drafting device on a compression device which is connected to a vacuum source. The compacting device ensures that the separated filament strand is bundled in the region of a so-called compaction zone to form a structure, which can then be spun onto a thread on a ring spinning spindle.

Wie im Anspruch 9 dargelegt, ist in einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Verdichtungseinrichtung vorgesehen, dass zur Verdichtung des Filamentstranges ein umlaufendes perforiertes Riemchen zum Einsatz kommt. Dieses perforierte Riemchen umfasst beispielsweise eine angetriebene Unterwalze sowie ein Führungsgehäuse, das über eine Pneumatikleitung an die Unterdruckquelle angeschlossen ist.As set forth in claim 9, in an advantageous embodiment of the compacting device is provided that for compressing the filament strand a circumferential perforated belt is used. This perforated belt comprises, for example, a driven lower roller and a guide housing, which is connected via a pneumatic line to the vacuum source.

Derartig ausgebildete und arbeitende Verdichtungseinrichtungen sind im Zusammenhang mit Ringspinnmaschinen-Streckwerken zwar nicht grundsätzlich neu, arbeiten aber sehr zuverlässig und sind auch für den erfindungsgemäßen Einsatzzweck sehr vorteilhaft. Das heißt, bei einer Verdichtungseinrichtung, wie sie beim erfindungsgemäßen Streckwerk zum Einsatz kommt, wird ein das Ausgangswalzenpaar verlassender, getrennter Filamentstrang in noch ungedrehtem Zustand, das heißt, mit im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander liegenden Filamentstücken, pneumatisch in einer so genannten Verdichtungszone durch ein unterdruckbeaufschlagtes Transport- und Verdichtungsmittel kontaktiert. Die in diesem Transport- und Verdichtungsmittel anstehende Saugluftströmung sorgt dafür, dass die Filamentstücke in Transportrichtung positioniert und damit zu einem Faserverband gebündelt und verdichtet werden.Such trained and working compression devices are not fundamentally new in connection with ring spinning machine drafting systems, but work very reliably and are also very advantageous for the purpose of the invention. That is, in a compacting device, as used in the drafting device according to the invention, a separate filament strand leaving the pair of outfeed rollers is still in a non-rotated state, that is, with filamentary pieces substantially parallel to each other, pneumatically in a so-called compression zone by a vacuum-pressurized transport - And compacting contacted. The pending in this transport and compression means Saugluftströmung ensures that the filament pieces are positioned in the transport direction and thus bundled and compacted into a fiber structure.

In einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann die Verdichtungseinrichtung, wie im Anspruch 10 beschrieben, allerdings auch über eine umlaufende perforierte, hohle Walze, die an eine Unterdruckquelle angeschlossen ist, verfügen.
Auch durch eine solche Verdichtungseinrichtung können die Filamentstücke in Transportrichtung positioniert und damit zu einem Faserverband gebündelt und verdichtet werden.
In an alternative embodiment, however, the compacting device as described in claim 10 may also have a circumferential perforated hollow roller connected to a vacuum source.
By such a compression device, the filament pieces can be positioned in the transport direction and thus bundled and compacted into a fiber structure.

Im Anspruch 11 ist des Weiteren dargelegt, dass das Eingangswalzenpaar und das Mittelwalzenpaar ein so genanntes Vorverzugsfeld bilden, in dem ein 1,8 bis 2,5facher Vorverzug der Filamente stattfindet. Das heißt, der Verzugswert des Vorverzuges wird gegenüber dem bei Langstapeln sonst üblichen Vorverzugswert erhöht, was eine bessere Verzugsaufteilung zwischen Haupt- und Vorverzugsfeld ergibt.
Eine solche Ausbildung hat insbesondere den Vorteil, dass die aufzuwendenden Kräfte mehr auf den Vorverzug gelegt werden und dadurch der Hauptverzug entlastet wird.
In claim 11 is further set forth that the pair of input rollers and the middle roller pair form a so-called Vorverzugsfeld in which takes place a 1.8 to 2.5facher Vorverzug the filaments. That is, the default value of the default is increased compared to the usual Langstapeln Vorverzugswert, resulting in a better distortion distribution between main and Vorverzugsfeld.
Such a design has the particular advantage that the forces to be expended are placed more on the preliminary delay and thus the main delay is relieved.

Die Fig.2 zeigt eine erste, vorteilhafte Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Streckwerks 10 im Detail.The Fig.2 shows a first advantageous embodiment of a drafting system 10 according to the invention in detail.

Solche Streckwerke 10 verfügen, wie an sich bekannt, unter anderem über maschinenlange, antreibbare Unterwalzen 21 u, 22u und 23u sowie über Oberwalzen 210, 220 und 230, die während des Spinnbetriebes auf den Unterwalzen 21 u, 22u und 23u aufliegen und von diesen reibschlüssig mitgenommen werden.
