Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drafting device and a spinning unit.
  • Patent Document 1 discloses a drafting device in which a drafting roller is cleaned by a pad member capable of being in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller.
  • resonance between the drafting roller and the pad member that may be caused by the rotation of the drafting roller is prevented by pressing the pad member against the drafting roller with the use of a torsion spring. Consequently, it is possible to prevent physical properties of the yarn from being degraded due to the resonance between the drafting roller and the pad member.

  • the upper roller support and tensioning arm has guides for receiving upper rollers at the stretching unit.

More specifically (although not shown), the air spinning device 7 includes a spinning chamber, a fiber guiding member, one or more swirling air current generating nozzles, and a hollow guide shaft body.
  • the fiber guiding member guides to the spinning chamber the fiber bundle F supplied thereto from the upstream drafting device 6.
  • the swirling air current generating nozzles are arranged around the path on which the fiber bundle F runs. As a result of the force of air injected from the swirling air current generating nozzles, the swirling air current is generated in the spinning chamber.

More specifically, the yarn Y is cut by stopping the air supply to the air spinning device 7 thereby discontinuing the formation of the yarn Y. Alternatively, the yarn Y can be cut with a separate cutter.
  • the waxing device 12 applies wax to the yarn Y at a position between the yarn pooling device 11 and the winding device 13.

  • the yarn joining carrier 3 When the yarn Y is disconnected or when the yarn Y is broken for some reason in any of the spinning units 2, the yarn joining carrier 3 travels to the specific spinning unit 2 and performs the yarn joining operation.
