  • the rotation speed of the traverse drum is lowered to decelerate the winding speed.
  • the set value of the winding speed is constant in a state that there is a great amount of yarn remaining on the yarn winding bobbin (until becoming less than or equal to the prescribed amount).
  • the behavior (hereinafter referred to as yarn unwinding property) of the yarn often differs depending on the yarn supplying bobbin even if the yarn is unwound with the same condition for the unwinding speed, and the like. For example, if there is an area where the yarn is softly wound in the yarn supplying bobbin, sloughing, in which the yarn becomes a ring-shaped clump and drops off, may occur at the portion where the winding is soft if the yarn is unwound at high speed in the automatic winder.
  • the winding manner is common among the plurality of yarn supplying bobbins such as when a great number of yarn supplying bobbins are simultaneously manufactured with a spinning device, abnormality such as sloughing easily occurs at substantially the same yarn unwinding position when unwinding the yarn from the plurality of yarn supplying bobbins.
  • the unwinding abnormality tends to easily generate at the same yarn unwinding position among the yarn supplying bobbins in which a specific condition is the same.
  • the winding speed in a state there is a great amount of yarn remaining on the yarn supplying bobbin is set constant.
  • the unwinding of the yarn of the entire yarn supplying bobbin is carried out with the winding speed sufficiently lowered so that abnormality does not generate at the relevant specific yarn unwinding position.
  • abnormality does not generate even if the yarn is wound at a higher winding speed in a normal situation when unwinding the yarn at a position other than the specific yarn unwinding position, but in the prior art, the yarn is unwound at a low speed corresponding to the specific yarn unwinding position even at such a position, and as a result, the productivity is lowered.
  • a yarn winding device of an aspect not part of the claimed invention includes a yarn supplying section adapted to hold a yarn supplying bobbin; a winding section adapted to wind a yarn unwound to one side in an axial direction from the yarn supplying bobbin; a speed setting section adapted to set a winding speed of the winding section; and a winding control section adapted to control the winding section based on the winding speed set by the speed setting section; wherein the winding control section functions as an unwinding position detecting section adapted to detect a yarn unwinding position of the yarn supplying bobbin; the speed setting section divides a winding range in which the yarn is wound in the yarn supplying bobbin to a plurality of individual setting ranges and sets the winding speed of the winding section for each of the plurality of individual setting ranges; and the winding control section controls the winding section to wind the yarn at the winding speed set with respect to the range in which the yarn unwinding position is located in accordance with in which range

  • the winding range in which the yarn is wound in the yarn supplying bobbin is divided into a plurality of individual setting ranges, and the winding speed of the winding section is set for each of the plurality of individual setting ranges.
  • the winding speed can be set in accordance with the yarn unwinding property such that the yarn is unwound at a high winding speed at the portion where the yarn is wound at a defined strength, and the yarn is unwound at a low winding speed at a portion where the yarn is wound looser than the defined strength so that the unwinding abnormality such as sloughing does not generate. That is, if the unwinding abnormality easily generates at a specific yarn unwinding position within the winding range of the yarn supplying bobbin, the winding speed is set to be slow when unwinding at such a specific yarn unwinding position and the winding speed is set fast when unwinding at other positions. Thus, the yarn can be wound as high speed as possible in a range the unwinding abnormality does not generate, which enhances the productivity.

More specifically, the tube body is moved toward the side opposite to the yarn unwinding side along the axial direction of the yarn supplying bobbin by the stepping motor in accordance with the detection of the yarn by the yarn detecting sensor.
  • the current yarn unwinding position is at, that is, at which position in the axial direction of the yarn supplying bobbin the end on the yarn unwinding side of the yarn layer is at can be detected from the movement amount of the tube body.
  • the movement amount of the tube body can be grasped by counting the number of pulses transmitted to the stepping motor when the tube body is moved. Therefore, the yarn unwinding position of the yarn supplying bobbin can be detected.
  • the speed setting section includes an input section adapted to input a set value of the winding speed with respect to each of the plurality of individual setting ranges.

  • the interruption of the winding operation of the package forming section is thus suppressed as much as possible, and the productivity of the package enhances.
  • the winding speed of the yarn accumulating device is controlled according to the yarn unwinding position of the yarn supplying bobbin.
  • the winding speed of the yarn accumulating device located between the yarn supplying section and the package forming section is controlled to control the yarn unwinding speed of the yarn from the yarn supplying bobbin, so that the lowering in the quality of the package is suppressed compared to when controlling the winding speed of the package forming section.
