Description

The invention relates to a texturing machine with a plurality of processing stations according to the preamble of claim 1.

In the production of synthetic fibers, the threads produced in a melt-spinning process are crimped, in particular for textile applications, in a subsequent process. This process is known in the art by the term texturing, wherein the synthetic threads are stretched simultaneously in the texturing process. Such texturing processes are carried out by means of texturing machines having a plurality of processing stations. In each processing point, at least one thread is treated by a texturing unit. In essence, the yarn is stretched and textured in a texturing zone and wound up into a bobbin after texturing. The processing units such as texturing units, delivery mechanisms, heaters, cooling devices, winding units are distributed to the processing points and arranged in a multi-part machine frame, so that sets a predetermined yarn path in the processing stations. Such a texturing machine is for example from the EP 0 641 877 A1 known.

In the known texturing machine, the plurality of processing points are arranged distributed over two halves of the machine. The machine halves are arranged mirror-symmetrically and face each other in a plane of symmetry. Each of the machine half has several frame parts for receiving the processing units. Thus, a process rack per machine half for receiving the texturing and a winding frame per machine half for receiving the Aufspulaggregate is provided. In addition, arranged on the machine longitudinal sides of both machine halves gate racks, which hold several feed bobbins to provide the threads. To operate the texturing units, in particular when first applying a thread in a processing station, an operating gear is assigned to the process racks in each machine half. In addition, the winding frames Doffgang assigned to accommodate the wound bobbins from the Aufspulaggregaten and can transport away. Here, the Doffgang is formed in a plane of symmetry between the opposite gate racks of both machine halves.

Although in the known texturing machine can be achieved that the removal of the wound full bobbins can be done on both halves of the machine from a Doffgang out. The necessary to equip the gate service work on the outer sides of the machine are running. Since the activities for removing the full bobbins and for delivering the new bobbins are often carried out by one or more operators, additional routes are inevitable.

In the search for economical and compact machine arrangements, other concepts of a texturing machine can be found. For example, from the DE 39 31 878 A1 a texturing machine is known in which a Doffgang is formed between two winding frames. The winding frames are connected to each other via a cross member, which in the Essentially used to accommodate the process units. In that regard, can be used by additional climbing means of Doffgang also to operate the process units. In that regard, both the Spulenabtransport and the operation of a common Doffgang have to be performed out, which often leads to disabilities and collisions of the plurality of processing points along a machine longitudinal side.

It is an object of the invention to provide a texturing machine of the generic type, in which the operation of the machine and the bobbin transport to the machine are as efficient as possible executable.

Another object of the invention is to realize a compact arrangement of the process units in the two halves of the machine.

This object is achieved in that the process racks of the machine halves are arranged opposite each other at a distance to a mirror symmetry plane and form the service aisle between them.

Advantageous developments of the invention are defined by the features and feature combinations of the subclaims.

The invention is characterized in that all operating processes for the start of the process or over a thread break at the processing points of both machine halves from an operating gear out are executable. In addition to the Texturieraggregaten thus required for the process process units can be advantageous to the operating gear assign. For the operator, therefore, all process units of both machine halves which are particularly important for the texturing process are directly accessible.

For the removal of the coil, the development of the invention is provided, in which the winding frames for receiving the winding units are arranged on the side facing away from the service aisle process frames and in which the winding frames to both sides of the machine Doffgang is assigned. Thus, the machine operation and the coil transport can be performed independently without mutual interference.

Depending on the premises and room offers can also be advantageous to use the development of texturing, in which the process racks of the two machine halves are formed on a platform, which are arranged above the winding frames of the two machine halves and in which the winding points to both sides of the machine Doffgang is assigned. Thus, in particular, the narrow machine cross sections can be realized.

Regardless of whether the process racks and the winding racks are arranged side by side or floor-shaped one above the other, can be arranged according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the gate racks with distance to the winding racks along the Doffgänge. Thus, the removal of the coils and the delivery of the supply bobbins can be advantageously realized via the Doffgänge to both sides of the machine. In order to obtain an advantageous for the operation of the process units low construction, the development of the invention is particularly advantageous in which the texturing units per machine half a plurality of heaters for heating the threads are arranged upstream and in which the heaters in the respective machine half with a slope in Machine longitudinal direction are arranged together in one plane. Due to the inclination of juxtaposed heaters can be realized in a compact arrangement with low height relatively long heating distances for temperature control of the threads. In addition, the heaters can be kept in close juxtaposition, so that the heat losses can be minimized.

In order to make the arrangement of the processing units of the processing points mirror-symmetrical in the machine halves, the development of the invention is advantageous in which the heaters opposite in the machine halves are arranged mirror-symmetrically to each other.

If there is no mirror symmetry in the machining points, the heating devices located opposite one another in the machine halves can also be arranged parallel to one another. This can be used in both machine halves identical heaters advantageous.

Depending on the design and inclination of the plane in which the inclined heaters are held, integration is possible both on the process rack and on a crossbeam connecting the process racks.

In order to obtain as few yarn rubbings in the processing points, in particular in the texturing zones of the processing points, is provided according to a development of the invention, the heaters at least one of the machine halves on an outlet side to allocate several cooling devices, the cooling means and the heaters in the plane between them one form straight threadline per processing point.

In the event that a thread material is textured, which requires a post-treatment, the development of the invention is particularly suitable in which the texturing units per machine half a plurality of Nachheizeinrichtungen for heating the threads are arranged downstream and in which the Nachheizeinrichtungen in the respective machine half with a Inclination in the machine longitudinal direction are arranged together in one plane. In that regard, the advantages in the arrangement of the heaters can also be used in the arrangement of the afterheating. By choosing the size and the direction of the tendency of the afterheating devices, moreover, the positions of the winding units can be adapted to the yarn path in the texturing zone.

The afterheating devices of the machine halves are preferably held in a lower region of the process racks. Thus, the threading of the threads into the afterheating devices can advantageously be carried out of the operating aisle.

The delivery mechanisms provided in the processing stations are likewise preferred according to an advantageous development of the texturing units assigned in such a way that the delivery mechanisms can be operated from the operating aisle. As delivery mechanisms hereby individually driven godets or shaft systems with pressure rollers can be used.

The invention is characterized in that all processing units that are relevant for the texturing process are advantageously concentrated around one operating gear and can be operated centrally for both machine halves. Both the initial application at the beginning of the process and the application after thread breaks can be performed quickly and quickly by an operator.

The texturing machine according to the invention is fundamentally independent of the respective degree of automation of the winding units. Thus, the texturing machine according to the invention can be equipped with winding units, in which the coils are changed automatically or manually.

To further explain the invention, some embodiments of the texturing machine according to the invention are described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying figures.

In the Fig. 1 to 3 a first embodiment of the texturing machine according to the invention for texturing a plurality of threads is shown in different views. In Fig. 1 is the embodiment in a cross-sectional view and in the Fig. 2 and 3 each shown in a section of a side view and a plan view. Unless expressly made to any of the figures, the following description applies to all figures.

The embodiment of the texturing machine has a plurality of processing points, which are arranged in two machine halves 1.1 and 1.2 in each case a plurality of side by side. Thus, for example, more than 100 machining points per machine half can be arranged next to one another in the machine halves 1.1 and 1.2.

The machine halves 1.1 and 1.2 face each other in a mirror symmetry plane 23 and are mirror-symmetrical in construction and arrangement of the racks and the process units.

As from the illustration in Fig. 1 shows, each of the machine halves 1.1 and 1.2 from a process rack 2.1 or 2.2, a winding frame 3.1 or 3.2 and a gate frame 5.1 or 5.2 formed.

The process racks 2.1 and 2.2 of the two machine halves are each arranged at a distance from the mirror symmetry plane 23 opposite one another and form an operating gear 6. In the operation gear 6, the processing points of both machine halves are opposite. So is in Fig. 1 the processing point of the machine half 1.1 with the reference numeral 24.1 and the processing point in the machine half 1.2 with the reference numeral 24.2.

The opposing process racks 2.1 and 2.2 are interconnected by a cross member 4, which extends above the operating gear 6. At the process frame 2.1 and the cross member 4 more of the processing station 24.1 associated process units are held. At the opposite process rack 2.2, the process units of the processing station 24.2 are arranged.

Since the structure of the processing points 24.1 and 24.2 is identical and differs only by a mirror-symmetrical arrangement of the process units, the process units are described below with reference to a yarn path in the processing station 24.1 with reference to the representation in Fig. 1 described in more detail.

In the processing station 24.1, first a thread 18.1 is withdrawn from a supply spool 16.1 by a first delivery mechanism 8.1. The feed bobbin 16.1 is held in the gate frame 5.1. The delivery 8.1 is located above the operating gear 6 on the cross member 4.

The first delivery mechanism 8.1 forms with a downstream second delivery mechanism 25.1 a so-called texturing zone in which the thread 18.1 is stretched and textured. The second delivery mechanism 25.1 is held in the middle region of the process frame 2.1 for this purpose. Within the textured zone formed by the delivery mechanisms 8.1 and 25.1, a heating device 9.1, a cooling device 10.1 and a texturing unit 11.1 are arranged one after the other in the yarn running direction. The texturing unit 11.1 is arranged directly above the second delivery mechanism 25.1 on the process frame 2.1.

To maintain a maximum operating height and to realize long texturing zones, the heating device 9.1 and the cooling device 10.1 are held at an incline in the machine longitudinal direction on the process frame 2.1 and the cross member 4. To explain the arrangement of the heaters and cooling devices in the machine half 1.1 is in addition to the Figures 2 and 3 Referenced. In Fig. 2 is a section of the side view of the process frame 2.1 shown. The Fig. 3 shows a plan view of the operating gear. 6

As from the illustrations in Fig. 2 and 3 shows, the heater 9.1 and the cooling device 10.1 form a common thread running plane, wherein the thread between the first delivery 8.1 and the texturing unit 11.1 associated guide roller 13.1 is performed in a straight run. Depending on the angle of inclination of the heating device 9.1 and the cooling device 10.1, an offset in the processing point 24.1 between the first delivery mechanism 8.1 and the second delivery mechanism 25.1 sets. The delivery 8.1 and 25.1 are arranged in different cross-sectional planes of the machine half 1.1.

As from the illustration in Fig. 1 As can be seen, in the further course of the thread 18.1 is guided to a Verwirbelungsaggregat 15.1 and then passed between a third delivery 26.1 and a fourth delivery 27.1 by a reheater 14.1. The afterheating device 14.1 forms an aftertreatment zone in order to perform a relaxation treatment on the yarn 18.1 at a low yarn tension, which is adjustable between the delivery mechanisms 26.1 and 27.1.

The afterheating device 14.1 and the third delivery 26.1 are optional only for the case of a post-treatment of the thread. In the event that the thread material does not have to receive any aftertreatment, the processing point 24.1 is carried out without a reheating device 14.1 and without a third delivery mechanism 26.1.

As from the illustration in Fig. 2 shows, the after-heater 14.1 is also held with an inclination in the machine longitudinal direction of the process frame 2.1. The after-heater 14.1 is preferably aligned with the same inclination angle to the upper heater 9.1. The angle of inclination for aligning the heater 9.1 and the after-heater 14.1 is usually in a range of 30 ° to max. 60 °. In principle, however, different inclination angles for the heating device 9.1 and the afterheating device 14.1 can be selected. Thus, the after-heater 14.1 can also be arranged with an inclination angle in the range from 0 to 45 °, depending on the design of the heating device.

From the illustration in Fig. 3 In particular, the mirror-symmetrical arrangement of the two machine halves 1.1 and 1.2 opposite arranged heaters 9.1 and 9.2 shows. The angle of inclination of the heaters 9.1 and the inclination angle of the heater 9.2 is the same amount made. This can be in the operating gear 6 opposite processing stations 24.1 and 24.2 a mirror-symmetrical arrangement of the process units to the mirror symmetry plane 23 realisier. Thus, the first delivery mechanisms 8.1 and 8.2 and the texturing units 11.1 and 11.2 of the opposite processing points 24.1 and 24.2 are arranged in each case in a machine cross-sectional plane.

As seen from the presentation Fig. 1 shows, at the end of the processing point 24.1 a winding unit 12.1 is provided, through which the thread 18.1 is wound into a coil 19.1. The winding unit 12.1 of the processing point 24.1 could be arranged for this purpose, for example, directly in the upper region of the winding frame 3.1.

The winding frames 3.1 and 3.2 are for receiving the Aufspulaggregate 12.1 and 12.2 of the processing stations 24.1 and 24.2 directly associated with the process racks 2.1 and 2.2 on a side opposite to the operating gear 6 side. The winding frames 3.1 and 3.2 thus each form an outer machine longitudinal side, in each of which a Doffgang 7.1 and 7.2 are associated with the removal of the coils. The Doffgänge 7.1 and 7.2 are limited to the outside by the gate racks 5.1 and 5.2. Thus, the Doffgänge 7.1 and 7.2 can also use for the delivery of new feed bobbins, which are held in the gate frame 5.1 and 5.2.

As from the illustration in Fig. 1 It can be seen that in the winding frames 3.1 and 3.2 several Aufspulaggregate stacked one above the other. So it is common to arrange several Aufspulaggregate several adjacent processing points of the machine halves 1.1 or 1.2 above the floor in layers. Since the Aufspulaggregate in the winding stations 3.1 and 3.2 compared to the process units to the process racks 2.1 and 2.2 have a much greater width, can be realized by the floor-shaped arrangement, a compact design of the machine halves 1.1 and 1.2.

The in the Fig. 1 Spooling units shown 12.1 and 12.2 of the processing stations 24.1 and 24.2 and the adjacent Auspulaggregate the adjacent processing stations are identically constructed and executed here by way of example as automatic Aufspulaggregate. Each of the winding units 12.1 or 12.2 has a winding station 28.1 or 28.2, a winding tray 20.1 or 20.2 and a sleeve magazine 21.1 or 21.2, respectively. The provided for an automated bobbin change auxiliary equipment are not shown here. Such automatic Aufspulaggregate are well known in the art and, for example in the US Pat. No. 6,189,826 B1 described. In that regard, no further explanation is given at this point and taken to the cited reference.

The coils 19.1 and 19.2 produced in the winding units 12.1 and 12.2 are removed on the respective longitudinal sides of the machinery halves 1.1 and 1.2 and discharged via the Doffgänge 7.1 and 7.2. As from the illustration in Fig. 1 It can be seen, all operations for the first application of a thread or a thread break in the process units by an operator from the aisle 6 run out. Thus, the processing points can be monitored and operated in the machine halves 1.1 and 1.2 respectively from the central operating gear 6 out.

For conveying and drawing, the delivery plants provided in the processing stations are partly designed as so-called clamping delivery plants or as looping delivery plants. In the case of the terminal delivery systems, the conveyance is transmitted by clamping the thread. In the Umschlingungslieferwerken the necessary conveying forces are caused by a multiple looping of the thread. It has been found that, in particular, the delivery mechanisms arranged upstream of the winding units are preferably designed as clamping delivery units. Thus, the fourth delivery 27.1 is shown in the processing station 24.1 as Klemmlieferwerk. The delivery plants associated with the texturing zone are designed as wrapping delivery units which are formed, for example, from a driven galette and an associated overflow roller. In that regard, the delivery 8.1, 25.1 and 26.1 of the processing station 24.1 designed as Umschlingungslieferwerke.

At this point, however, expressly mentioned that the arrangement and design of the thread guide elements and process units in the embodiments shown after Fig. 1 to 3 are exemplary. Thus, the delivery plants can be varied in any combination between Umschlingungslieferwerken and Klemmlieferwerken. Likewise, thread guides executable without deflection in particular between the cooling device and the texturing unit.

The central arrangement of the process units to a single operation can be advantageously used in other machine concepts. For example, from the Fig. 4 . 5 and 6 Another embodiment of the texturing machine according to the invention known. In the Fig. 4 is the embodiment of the texturing machine in a schematic cross-sectional view, in Fig. 5 in a section of a side view and in Fig. 6 shown in a section of a plan view.

Unless expressly related to any of the figures, the following description applies to all figures.

In the in the Fig. 4 . 5 and 6 In the embodiment shown, the process racks 2.1 and 2.2 are arranged on a platform 22 in mirror-symmetrical relation to each other and include a central operating passage 6 on both machine longitudinal sides. The platform 22 is supported on the winding frames 3.1 and 3.2, which include a staircase 29 between them. In that regard, results in a multi-tier arrangement of process frames 2.1 and 2.2 and the winding frames 3.1 and 3.2. On the lower floor of the winding frames are 3.1 and 3.2 assigned the gate racks 5.1 and 5.2, where they formed between the winding frame 3.1 and the gate frame 5.1 a Doffgang 7.1 and 5.2 between the winding frame 3.2 and the gate frame 5.2 a Doffgang.

In the upper floor above the winding frames 3.1 and 3.2, the platform 22 is arranged with the process racks 2.1 and 2.2, wherein the process racks 2.1 and 2.2 are coupled together by the cross member 4. The platform 22 thus forms the operating gear 6 in order to be able to serve the process units held on the process racks 2.1 and 2.2.

The in the Fig. 4 . 5 and 6 shown processing points 24.1 and 24.2 of the machine halves 1.1 and 1.2 are substantially identical to the aforementioned embodiment, so that at this point only the differences will be explained and otherwise reference is made to the above description.

As from the representations of Fig. 5 and 6 emerge, the process units of the opposite processing points 24.1 and 24.2 are not arranged mirror-symmetrically to the mirror symmetry plane 23. The heaters 9.1 in the machine half 1.1 and the heaters 9.2 in the machine half are arranged parallel to each other with a tilt in Maschinenlänsgsrichtung. The angle of inclination is identical in both arrangements, so that the heaters 9.1 and the heaters 9.2 could be made identical in construction. Due to the parallel arrangement of the heaters 9.1 and 9.2 and the downstream cooling devices 10.1 and 10.2, the first delivery 8.1 and 8.2 of the opposite processing stations 24.1 and 24.2 are held in offset machine cross-sections.

The job structure of the processing stations 24.1 and 24.2 is otherwise identical, wherein the processing units held on the process frame 2.1 the structure according to Fig. 3 correspond to the previous embodiment. The Proessaggregate the processing station 24.2 goes in particular from the illustration in Fig. 5 out.

In each of the processing point 24.1 and 24.2, the first delivery mechanism 8.1 and 8.2, the heating device 9.1 and 9.2, the cooling device 10.1 and 10.2, the texturing unit 11.1 and 11.2, a second delivery system 25.1 and 25.2, a turbulizer 15.1 and 15.2, seen in the yarn running direction third delivery mechanism 26.1 and 26.2, a reheater 14.1 and 14.2 and a fourth delivery 27.1 and 27.2. Due to the parallel orientation of the inclinations of the heaters 9.1 and 9.2 and the afterheating 14.1 and 14.2 an offset between the processing points 24.1 and 24.2 is formed. This arrangement has the advantage that identical process units can be used on the mirror-symmetrically arranged process racks 2.1 and 2.2. Thus, the heaters 9.1 and 9.2 and the afterheating 14.1 and 14. 2 are identical and mutually exchangeable.

The inclination angle, the example of the heater 9.1 in the FIG. 6 denoted by the reference numeral α are identical.

At the in Fig. 4 processing points shown are the Aufspulaggregate 12.1 and 12.2 of the processing stations 24.1 and 24.2 formed by non-automated winding units. In these cases, the bobbin change is performed manually by an operator. The operation of Aufspulaggregate 12.1 and 12.2 takes place from the Doffgängen 7.1 and 7.2 out.

In contrast, the service work on the process units by an operator in the upper operation gear 6 are executed. In principle, however, it should also be mentioned that the heating devices 9.1 and 9.2 and the afterheating devices 14.1 and 14.2 in the aforementioned embodiments could also be arranged without an inclined position with inclination in the machine longitudinal direction. Thus, the heaters and cooling devices can be arranged in a superstructure above the process racks and winding racks. It is essential here that the operation of all process units is possible centrally from the operating gear formed between the process racks.
