Definitions

  • the invention relates to a winding machine for winding a plurality of threads according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a generic winding machine for winding a plurality of threads to coils is for example from the DE 10 2006 001 041 A1 known.
  • Such winding machines are preferably used in melt spinning plants for winding a plurality of synthetic threads, wherein the winding machine usually has a number of winding points, which coincides with a number of simultaneously spun in a spinning position threads.
  • more than ten winding points can be formed parallel to each other in a machine frame of the winding machine.
  • Within the machine frame of the winding machine usually several movable components are mounted so that an occurrence of vibrations of the movable components during winding operations on the fixed machine frame is more or less inevitable.
  • a winding spindle depending on the diameter of the coils from the beginning to the end of the winding a speed range of about 2,000 rev / min. up to 30,000 rpm. run through.
  • the critical speeds which cause an undamped oscillation of the winding spindle, must be avoided in particular to not destroy the one-sided storage of a winding spindle.
  • the provided within the winding machine assemblies represent a vibratory system, which is to be coordinated accordingly.
  • the oscillatory system can be changed in particular by optionally frame stiffeners can be switched on or off, so that the natural frequency of the vibration system changes.
  • frame stiffeners can be switched on or off, so that the natural frequency of the vibration system changes.
  • the winding machine according to the invention is characterized in that with very long projecting winding spindles with a corresponding plurality of winding positions in each of the winding point a uniform yarn guide is possible. So all traversing units can work together on a traversing plate be kept without that in particular the arranged in the central region traversing units are loaded by natural oscillations.
  • the damping element is preferably arranged in a central region of the oscillating plate.
  • the rigidity of the oscillating plate can be preferably improved by the development of the invention, in which the tube bar extends over a total length of the traversing plate at least over 90% of the total length of the traversing plate substantially.
  • the development of the invention is preferably carried out, in which a plurality of damping elements are arranged between the tube bar and the traversing plate, which are held at a distance from one another in the central region of the tube bar.
  • a rubber buffer is preferably used, which generates a uniform damping effect over a relatively large frequency range.
  • the traversing plate is held at the ends via a respective pivot bearing on the machine frame.
  • the pivot bearing is preferably formed on a movable roller carrier for receiving a pressure roller, wherein the traversing plate is supported on the roller carrier. This ensures that the distance between the traversing units and the coil surfaces remains constant during a deflection movement of a pressure roller resting against the coil surfaces.
  • FIG. 1-3 a first embodiment of the winding machine according to the invention is shown schematically in several views.
  • the Fig. 1 shows a side view
  • Fig. 2 a top view
  • Fig. 3 schematically a cross-sectional view.
  • the following description applies to all figures, insofar as no explicit reference is made to one of the figures.
  • the embodiment of the winding machine has in a machine frame 1 a rotatably mounted Spulrevolver 4, are held on the two long projecting Spulspindeln 3.1 and 3.2.
  • the winding spindles 3.1 and 3.2 are offset by 180 ° to each other on the winding turret 4 and are coupled to spindle drives 5.1 and 5.2, which are held on the opposite side of the winding turret 4.
  • the winding turret 4 is coupled to a turret drive 17.
  • winding stations 2 are formed next to each other on the machine frame 1.
  • the winding stations 2 are arranged uniformly distributed over the projecting length of the winding spindles 3.1 and 3.2 and each have a head thread guide 11 and arranged below the head thread guide 11 traversing unit 6.
  • eight winding stations 2 are arranged side by side.
  • the number of winding stations 2 is exemplary and may also include 6, 10, 12 or 16 digits.
  • the traversing units 6 are formed in the winding stations 2 by a respective oppositely rotating pair of wings 7, the wing tips a yarn within the winding point 2 along a guide ruler 8 back and forth.
  • Such rempligelchangierüen are well known, so that no further description is required for this purpose.
  • Fig. 1 to 3 shows the traversing units 6 of the winding stations 2 are held together on a traversing plate 9.
  • the traversing plate 9 is supported on a roller carrier 13 which carries a pressure roller 10 arranged between the traversing units 6 and the winding spindles 3.1 and 3.2.
  • the roller carrier 13 of the pressure roller 10 is coupled via a pivot bearing 12 to the machine frame 1.
  • the pressure roller 10 extends substantially parallel to the winding spindles 3.1 and 3.2 over an entire winding area of the winding points 2.
  • the traversing plate 9 is held on the roller carrier 13 via a pivot bearing 16.
  • an elongated rough beam 14 extends, which is connected at its ends fixed to the oscillating plate 9.
  • damping elements 15.1 and 15.2 are arranged in particular in the central region of the traversing plate 9.
  • the damping elements 15.1 and 15.2 are arranged at a distance from each other between the tube beam 14 and the traversing plate 9 and form a support of the traversing plate 9 relative to the tubular beam 14.
  • the traversing plate 9 on the underside a plurality of supports 21, with which the traversing plate 9 is supported on the roller carrier 12.
  • a winding tube 18 is held on the winding spindles 3.1 and 3.2 for each winding position 2.
  • a thread 20 supplied via the head thread guide 11 can be wound into a spool 19 on the circumference of a winding spindle 3.1 or 3.2.
  • the winding spindle 3.1 and 3.2 are pivoted on reaching a predetermined coil diameter of the coil 19 of the winding spindle held on a winding spindle by the winding turret 4, so that a yarn change and yarn transfer can take place in the winding stations 2.
  • the traversing plate 9 is coupled to the roller carrier 13.
  • the roller carrier 13 can be changed via the pivot bearing 12 in its position within the machine frame 1. Such changes occur in particular in the operating state with stationary winding turret 4 in order to be able to carry out, for example, a decrease of full bobbins on the winding spindle held in the change position.
  • the traversing units 6 are also changed in the same relation to the pressure roller 10 in its position. This leaves the Distance between the traversing units 6 and the coil surfaces of the coils 19 constant in each operating situation, so that a uniform cross-winding to form the coil 19 is possible.
  • the threads 20 are wound in the winding stations 2 parallel to coils 19.
  • the threads 20 are fed via the head thread guide 11 to the winding stations 2.
  • Each thread 20 is moved back and forth for depositing on a spool 19 by the pair of wings 7 of the traversing units 6 within a traverse stroke and after Generalumschlingung at the periphery of the pressure roller 10 at the periphery of the coil 20.
  • the winding spindle 3.1 is driven via the spindle drive 5.1.
  • an oscillation excitation takes place with an excitation frequency which changes as a function of the operating rotational speed of the winding spindles 3.1.
  • the vibrations are transmitted with the excitation frequency to adjacent modules directly or via the machine frame 1.
  • adjacent assemblies first the pressure roller 10 with the roller carrier 13 and the traversing units 6 with the traversing plate 9 are affected. It has been found that excessively high stiffnesses on the oscillating plate 9 adversely affect the displacement of a natural frequency. Basically, a vote between the natural frequencies of the components and the excitation frequency of the winding spindle is required.
  • the traversing plate 9 Due to the inventive design of the winding machine, the traversing plate 9 has sufficient rigidity, which is determined essentially by the rigid tube beam 14. The relatively high elasticity in the central region of the traversing plate 9 can be stabilized by the damping elements 15.1 and 15.2. Natural vibrations of the traversing plate 9 can not occur unhindered.
  • damping elements 15.1 and 15.2 in the illustrated embodiment of the winding machine at the top of the traversing plate are exemplary. It is essential here that in particular on the oscillating plate no excessive rigidity is generated, which lead to an increase of the natural frequency. As damping elements 15.1 and 15.2 in particular rubber buffers have proven to produce a relatively strong support effect in addition to the damping.
  • Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of a traversing plate, as for example in the embodiment of Fig. 1 to 3 could be used.
  • the traversing plate 9 has in this embodiment, an overall length, which is marked with the code letter L.
  • the attached to an upper side of the traversing plate 9 tube bar 14 has a length which is marked with the code letter L R.
  • the length L R of the tube bar 14 is dimensioned such that the tube bar covers at least 90% of the total length L of the traversing plate 9.
  • the total length L of the traversing plate is in a range of 1.5 m to 2.5 m.
  • one or more damping elements can be arranged between the tube bar 14 and the top of the traversing plate 9.
  • one damping element 15 is provided at the in Fig. 4 illustrated embodiment.
  • the number of damping elements and the type of damping elements is basically arbitrary. It is essential here that a compromise between softness and rigidity of the traversing plate, which is more favorable for the natural frequency of the entire oscillation system, is given.
  • the tube beam 14 is connected at its ends via rigid holders 22.1 and 22.2 fixed to the top of the traversing plate.
