Abstract
Description
- So called "storage" yarn feeders are known which are provided with a drum having a plurality of yarn loops wound thereon, which are adapted to be unwound upon request from a downstream machine, such as a loom or a knitting machine.
- The yarn is withdrawn from a spool arranged upstream of the feeder, and may be wound on the drum either by a swivel arm, as shown, e.g., in
EP 0 534 263 , or by rotating the drum, as shown, e.g., inUS 4,068,807 . - The yarn coming from the drum is maintained under tension by a weft-braking device.
- A general weft-braking device comprises a circular braking member which is abutted against the delivery edge of the drum for braking the unwinding yarn by friction, which yarn is pressed between the braking member and the drum while running.
- With the above-cited
EP 0 534 263 , the braking member comprises a thin-walled, hollow frustoconical member, which generally consists of a sheet made of a flexible synthetic material such as PVC, PET, PEI, or composite materials such as a tissue impregnated with resins, which is coaxially biased by elastic means against the delivery edge of the drum with its inner surface. - With the above cited
US 4,068,807 , the braking member comprises an elastic rubber ring which axially engages the delivery edge of the drum with its inner edge. The elastic ring is supported at the larger base of a rigid, hollow frustoconical member which, in turn, is rotatably supported about its axis by a bearing, so that it follows the drum when it rotates for winding new loops. - A drawback of the known storage drums, such as the above-cited ones, is the any bumps, such as knots or tangles, on the yarn unwinding from the drum may cause high peaks of tension on the yarn as the bump passes between the braking member and the drum, which are pressed against each other. Such peaks of tension may affect the quality of the mesh produced and even cause the yarn to break.
- Therefore, it is a main object of the present invention to provide a storage yarn feeder with a weft-braking device which is capable of considerably reducing the peaks of tension deriving from any bumps, such as knots or tangles, on the yarn.
- The above object and other advantages, which will become apparent from the following description, are achieved by a yarn feeder having the features recited in claim 1, while the dependent claims state other advantageous, though secondary features of the invention.
- The invention will be now described in more detail, with reference to a few preferred, non exclusive embodiments shown by way of non-limiting example in the attached drawings, wherein:
-
Fig. 1 is a lateral, broken-away view of the yarn feeder according to the invention; -
Fig. 2 separately shows a component of the yarn feeder ofFig. 1 to an enlarged scale; -
Figs. 3 to 5 are three diagrammatical, lateral views of the yarn feeder according to the invention in respective three, consecutive operative steps. - With reference to the above Figures, a
storage yarn feeder 10 comprises adrum 12 having a plurality of loops of yarn Y wound thereon, which are adapted to be unwound upon request from a dowstream machine L, such as a loom or a knitting machine, which is only diagrammatically shown inFig. 1 . - With the embodiment described herein by way of example,
drum 12 can axially rotate, under control of a motor M, for withdrawing yarn from a reel R arranged upstream of the feeder and winding it upon itself. To this purpose,drum 12 may be conventionally provided with sensor means (not shown) for actuating motor M when the amount of yarn stored ondrum 12 is about to run out. - Yarn Y unwinding from
drum 12 is maintained under tension by a weft-braking device 14 which is anchored to anarm 16 projecting from the motor housing. - In a way known per se, weft-
braking device 14 comprises a thin-walled,hollow braking member 18 having a frustoconical profile elastically yielding in the radial direction. Preferably,braking member 18 consists of a sheet made of a synthetic material, such as PVC, having a thickness in the range 0.1 to 0.5 mm. Alternatively, a different synthetic material such as PET or PEI may be used, or a composite material such as a tissue impregnated with resins. In any case, for the reasons which will be discussed below, it is preferable to use materials having a modulus of elasticity in the range 1 to 4 Gpa, and a braking member having a moment of inertia in therange 200 to 2000 g·mm2. - Having particular reference to
Fig. 2 , brakingmember 18 is biased to coaxially engage adelivery end 12r ofdrum 12 with its inner surface by elastic means, which are under tension between anannular support 22 connected toarm 16 and aring 24 which supports brakingmember 18. In a way known per se,annular support 22 is connected toarm 16 by a screw mechanism (not shown) which is incorporated inarm 16 and allows the pressure exerted by brakingmember 18 ondrum 12 to be adjusted by a knob 25 (Fig. 1 ). - In the present embodiment, the elastic means consist of a spider assembly of
helical springs 20 having their inner ends 20a anchored toring 24 and theirouter ends 20b anchored toannular support 22. - According to the invention, braking
member 18 is rotatably supported about its axis with respect toannular support 22 by a rolling bearing 26 which is operatively arranged between brakingmember 18 andhelical springs 20. - Advantageously, a bearing having a low rolling friction and low inertia is used.
- In more detail,
braking member 18 is housed in a seat 24a ofring 24 and is coaxially connected to rolling bearing 26 via a hollow, trumpet-shaped support 28. -
Hollow support 28 has a cylindrical end portion 28a on which the inner ring 26a ofbearing 26 is fitted. Atube 28b projecting from cylindrical end portion 28a has a diverging profile in the shape of a trumpet. Tube 28b terminates with a frontally openannular groove 30, which is engaged by the smaller-in-diameter end 18a ofbraking member 18. - In more detail, a
cylindrical projection 18c extending from the smaller-in-diameter end 18a ofbraking member 18 is slidably fitted to an axial, cylindrical surface 30a ofannular groove 30. Brakingmember 18 is axially sandwiched between anannular ridge 32 rising along the inner edge ofannular groove 30 and engaging the inner surface ofbraking member 18, and an O-ring 34, which is received in a respectiveannular seat 36 surroundingannular groove 30 and engages the outer surface of the braking member. - In operation, the yarn is unwound from
drum 12 upon request from dowstream machine L, and while running it is pressed betweendrum 12 and brakingmember 18, thereby receiving a braking action by friction from them which maintains the yarn under a slight tension. - During the yarn-feeding process,
drum 12 is periodically rotated at a speed ω1 (Fig. 3 ) for winding new yarn upon itself, which yarn is withdrawn from the spool. As the drum rotates,braking member 18 is also driven to rotate by friction at the same speed ω2=ω1. - In case of bumps, such as knots or tangles, on the yarn wound on
drum 12, the system behaves ad shown inFigs. 4 and 5 . - When the bump, e.g., a knot K, reaches the area of contact between
drum 12 and brakingmember 18, the rotation of the latter is immediately braked (ω2 < ω1), because the yarn is unwound in the opposite direction with respect to the direction of rotation ofdrum 12 and brakingmember 18. This quick reaction is ensured by the low inertia ofbraking member 18. Accordingly, yarn Y wound ondrum 12 upstream ofbraking member 18 is liable to slacken (Fig. 4 ), while the yarn downstream of brakingmember 18 remains under tension. This difference in the tension upstream and downstream ofbraking member 18 helps knot K to pass under the braking member, while dampening the peak of tension; brakingmember 18 anddrum 12 then start again to rotate at the same speed ω2= ω1 (Fig. 5 ). - In other words, the yielding of
braking member 18, i.e., the capability of rotating axially with respect todrum 12 in response to a tangential thrust generated by any bumps on yarn Y, which is pressed while running between the drum and the braking member, has the effect of dampening the impact of any bumps against the braking member, thereby limiting the rising of eccessive peaks of tension on the yarn. - The person skilled in the art will appreciate that this result is achieved even when
drum 12, and consequently brakingmember 18, are not in motion. In this case, as knot K reaches the area of contact betweendrum 12 and brakingmember 18, the latter rotates a few degrees in the unwinding direction of the yarn in response to the tangential thrust exerted by knot K, until knot K passes under brakingmember 18. Therefore, this solution is also suitable for yarn feeders in which the yarn is not loaded by rotating the drum but it is wound on the drum by a swivel arm. - A uniform braking action is guaranteed by the capability of braking
member 18 of accurately self-centering with respect todrum 12, when the two parts are put in contact. This self-centering capability is firstly due the fact thatbraking member 18 is elastically supported on springs; in addition, it is further improved by the system which connects brakingmember 18 to trumpet-shaped support 28. In fact, as the person skilled in the art will appreciate, this locking system is not completely rigid, because brakingmember 18 is externally abutted against an O-ring 34 which is conventionally made of an elastically yielding material. This provides brakingmember 18 with a further degree of freedom in its self-centering movements with respect todrum 12. Moreover, the elastic yielding of the braking member with respect to the radial deformations helps both any bumps to pass through the brake, and the braking member to self-centering with respect to the drum. Therefore, braking members should be excluded which, though having a hollow, frustoconical profile, give a substantially rigid response to the radial deformations in virtue of their thickness and/or of the modulus of elasticity of the material of which they are made. - A preferred embodiment of the invention has been described herein, but of course many changes may be made by a person skilled in the art within the scope of the claims. For instance, with the above-described embodiment, the pressure exerted by the braking member on the drum may be manually adjusted by a screw mechanism. Of course, an automatic adjusting system may be provided, which controls the pressure exerted by
braking member 18 ondrum 12 by a feedback control loop, in order to stabilize the yarn tension on a predetermined value, in a conventional way per se. In addition, the elastic means which support the braking member may be configured in a different way with respect to what described and illustrated herein. For instance, elastic ropes may be used, as well as springs ancored with both their ends to the annular support and hooked at an intermediate area to the inner ring.
