  • the thread end is transferred from the suction nozzle to other facilities. This procedure is time-consuming since the suction nozzle has to be set in motion and the thread end found must be transferred to the other handling devices by appropriate movements. In addition, the construction effort and the space required are considerable.
  • a fixed suction nozzle is known, which is assigned to a spool on a winding machine. If the thread breaks or before the thread of a new delivery bobbin is attached to the end of the thread of the thread wound on the bobbin, the bobbin is stopped. It is then turned in the direction opposite to the winding direction in order to unwind a thread end that is long enough for the piecing process from the bobbin. So that the end that is generally strongly adhering to the coil surface can be found and detached, a suction source is switched on and negative pressure is built up in the suction nozzle and propagates through the mouth to the coil surface.
  • a winding machine which guides the thread in a thread guide channel between the supply spool positioned in the unwinding position and the winding device and completely surrounds it.
  • a swiveling suction head is provided with which a thread end can be gripped on the bobbin and stretched between the bobbin and the mouth of the suction head.
  • thread monitoring and thread treatment devices are arranged in the thread guide channel. Because of the long, stationary In the event of a blockage by the thread, thread guide channel can be very complex.

  • the thread enters the suction nozzle through a further opening serving as an entry opening for the thread and exits the suction nozzle through another opening, in particular through the suction opening.
  • a thread delivery device which can be a spinning station, the thread runs freely after the delivery rollers and only enters the suction nozzle immediately before the bobbin.
  • the fact that the thread is in the suction nozzle directly in front of the bobbin during the normal delivery process means that it does not have to be applied when the thread breaks and the end of the thread is found removed from the suction nozzle, brought into another thread run and reattached, but can remain in the suction nozzle and in the thread run after the end of the thread has been found. This saves time when the thread is reattached to a new thread. This can increase the productivity of the machine and its efficiency.
  • pulling devices of the thread for pulling out of the delivery point can thereby be operated in a simple manner.
  • the threading of the thread into the suction nozzle can also be carried out without any problems, since no long paths of the thread have to be covered in the closed suction nozzle. This reliably prevents the suction nozzle from becoming blocked.
  • the suction nozzle is therefore relatively short.
  • a thread path with a length of less than 80 cm, preferably less than 40 cm within the suction nozzle has proven to be particularly advantageous.
  • the structure of the textile machine operating according to this method is significantly simpler than in the prior art, since handling devices which remove the thread end from the suction nozzle and have to spend it in the normal thread run are not or at least not to a considerable extent required.
  • the thread particularly preferably runs through the inlet mouth as well as through the suction mouth of the suction nozzle during normal delivery to the bobbin.

  • the connection of the suction nozzle to the suction system is particularly good via the already existing inlet mouth.
  • a third opening is arranged on the suction nozzle and is connected to the suction system. At this point, the extraction system can be permanently connected and there is no need to move the vacuum-carrying components.

  • the movement of the adjustable suction mouth is coupled to a thread lifter and / or to a thread guide of the thread traversing device.
  • This coupling can take place mechanically or by means of an electronic control.
  • the coupling can be such that the thread lifter lifts the thread out of the thread guide at a certain position of the suction mouth, so that it no longer oscillates on the surface of the bobbin and / or that the thread guide of the thread traversing device is caused to move out of the Area of the coil or the suction mouth moved out so that the movement of the suction mouth is not in the way.
  • the suction mouth is arranged in the first, in particular middle position of the suction mouth when the thread is wound onto the bobbin during normal delivery. In this first position, the suction mouth is positioned so that it does not prevent the thread from running.

Aus der EP 1 283 288 A2 ist eine Spinnvorrichtung einer Offenend-Rotorspinnmaschine bekannt. Ein Faden wird in einer Offenend-Spinnvorrichtung gesponnen und an eine Spulvorrichtung geliefert. Zum definierten Verlegen des gelieferten Fadens auf eine Spule ist eine einzelmotorisch angetriebene Fadenchangiereinrichtung vorgesehen. Nach einem Fadenbruch wird das dabei entstehende Fadenende auf die Spule aufgewickelt. Um dieses Fadenende zum Wiederansetzen mit einem neuen Faden verwenden zu können, muss es auf der Spule gesucht werden. Hierfür ist eine schwenkbar gelagerte, unterdruckbeaufschlagbare Saugdüse vorgesehen. Die Saugdüse schwenkt im Falle eines Fadenbruches von einer unteren Position nach oben bis zum Spulenumfang der Spule und besaugt diese. Die Spule wird in eine Drehbewegung versetzt, so dass nach einer gewissen Zeit das Fadenende von der Saugdüse erfasst und abgesaugt wird. Anschließend erfolgen weitere Handhabungen, um das Fadenende für das Wiederansetzen verwenden zu können. Das Fadenende wird hierfür von der Saugdüse an andere Einrichtungen übergeben. Dieses Vorgehen ist zeitaufwändig, da die Saugdüse erst in Bewegung versetzt werden muss und das gefundene Fadenende durch entsprechende Bewegungen an die anderen Handhabungseinrichtungen übergeben muss. Darüber hinaus sind auch der bauliche Aufwand und der erforderliche Bauraum erheblich.From the EP 1 283 288 A2 a spinning device of an open-end rotor spinning machine is known. A thread is spun in an open end spinning device and delivered to a winding device. A single-motor driven thread traversing device is provided for the defined laying of the supplied thread on a bobbin. After a thread break, the resulting thread end is wound onto the spool.

The bobbin is rotated so that after a certain time the thread end is gripped by the suction nozzle and suctioned off. This is followed by further manipulations in order to be able to use the thread end for the reattachment. For this purpose, the thread end is transferred from the suction nozzle to other facilities. This procedure is time-consuming since the suction nozzle has to be set in motion and the thread end found must be transferred to the other handling devices by appropriate movements. In addition, the construction effort and the space required are considerable.

Aus der EP 0 128 121 A1 ist eine fest angeordnete Saugdüse bekannt, welche einer Spule an einer Spulmaschine zugeordnet ist. Bei Fadenbruch oder vor dem Ansetzen des Fadens einer neuen Lieferspule an das Fadenende des auf der Spule aufgespulten Fadens wird die Spule angehalten. Anschließend wird sie in Richtung entgegengesetzt zur Spulrichtung gedreht, um ein für den Ansetzvorgang genügend langes Fadenende von der Spule abzuwickeln. Damit das an der Spulenoberfläche im Allgemeinen stark anhaftende Ende gefunden und abgelöst werden kann, wird eine Saugquelle eingeschaltet und in der Saugdüse Unterdruck aufgebaut, der sich durch die Mündung bis zur Spulenoberfläche fortpflanzt. Durch den Unterdruck wird durch den Spalt zwischen den Mündungslippen der Düse Luft aus der Umgebung angesaugt. Das von der Spulenoberfläche durch den dort herrschenden Unterdruck angezogene Fadenende wird nun von der kräftigen Strömung im Inneren der Düse erfasst, mitgerissen und abgezogen. Nachteilig hierbei ist es ebenfalls, dass das gefundene Fadenende aus der Düse entnommen, für das Ansetzen vorbereitet und zurück in den normalen Fadenlauf gebracht werden muss. Auch diese bekannte Vorrichtung ist im Betrieb zeitaufwändig und dementsprechend nachteilig für den Wirkungsgrad der Maschine.From the EP 0 128 121 A1 a fixed suction nozzle is known, which is assigned to a spool on a winding machine. If the thread breaks or before the thread of a new delivery bobbin is attached to the end of the thread of the thread wound on the bobbin, the bobbin is stopped. It is then turned in the direction opposite to the winding direction in order to unwind a thread end that is long enough for the piecing process from the bobbin. So that the end that is generally strongly adhering to the coil surface can be found and detached, a suction source is switched on and negative pressure is built up in the suction nozzle and propagates through the mouth to the coil surface. Due to the negative pressure, air is drawn in from the environment through the gap between the mouth lips of the nozzle. The thread end attracted by the surface of the bobbin due to the negative pressure prevailing there is now gripped by the powerful flow inside the nozzle, carried along and drawn off. It is also disadvantageous here that the thread end found must be removed from the nozzle, prepared for attachment and brought back into the normal thread path. This known device is also time-consuming in operation and accordingly disadvantageous for the efficiency of the machine.

Aus der EP 2 444 347 A2 ist eine Spulmaschine bekannt, welche den Faden in einem Fadenleitkanal zwischen der in Abspulstellung positionierten Vorlagespule und der Spulvorrichtung führt und ihn vollständig umschließt. Nach dem Leitkanal ist ein schwenkbarer Saugkopf vorgesehen, mit dem ein Fadenende auf der Spule erfasst und zwischen Spule und Mündung des Saugkopfes aufgespannt werden kann. Für die weitere Handhabung des Fadens muss dieser wieder an andere Handhabungseinrichtungen übergeben werden. In dem Fadenleitkanal sind verschiedene Fadenüberwachungs- und Fadenbehandlungseinrichtungen angeordnet. Durch den langen, stationären Fadenleitkanal kann die Reinigung im Falle einer Verstopfung durch den Faden, sehr aufwändig sein.From the EP 2 444 347 A2 a winding machine is known which guides the thread in a thread guide channel between the supply spool positioned in the unwinding position and the winding device and completely surrounds it. After the guide channel, a swiveling suction head is provided with which a thread end can be gripped on the bobbin and stretched between the bobbin and the mouth of the suction head. For further handling of the thread, it must be handed over to other handling devices. Various thread monitoring and thread treatment devices are arranged in the thread guide channel. Because of the long, stationary In the event of a blockage by the thread, thread guide channel can be very complex.

Aus der DE 31 21 866 A1 sind ein Verfahren an einer Spinnmaschine und eine Spinnmaschine gemäß den Oberbegriffen der unabhängigen Ansprüche bekannt.From the DE 31 21 866 A1 a method on a spinning machine and a spinning machine according to the preambles of the independent claims are known.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es somit ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit welcher ein Fadenende sowohl schnell auffindbar als auch schnell und ohne großen Aufwand an einen neuen Faden angesetzt werden kann, damit die Produktion des Fadens an einer Spinnmaschine mit nur kurzer Unterbrechung fortgesetzt werden kann.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method and a device with which a thread end can be found quickly and can be attached to a new thread quickly and without great effort, so that the production of the thread continues on a spinning machine with only a brief interruption can be.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Ansprüche. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren an einer Spinnmaschine mit einer Vielzahl gleichartiger Spinneinheiten mit einer Fadenliefereinrichtung mit Lieferwalzen, wobei in der Spinneinheit ein Faden hergestellt und mittels Lieferwalzen aus der Spinneinheit abgezogen wird, dient zum Liefern eines Fadens an eine Spule, zum Verlegen des Fadens auf der Spule, zum Aufspulen des Fadens auf die Spule sowie zum Auffinden eines auf der Spule aufgewickelten Fadenendes mittels einer Saugdüse. Das Fadenende wird mittels einer dem Spulenumfang zugewandten, als Ansaugmündung der Saugdüse dienenden Öffnung angesaugt. Um das Fadenende bei einem Bruch des Fadens schnell auf der Spule finden zu können und ihn für ein Wiederansetzen an einen neuen Faden schnell zur Verfügung zu haben, wird vorgesehen, dass der Faden während der Lieferung an die Spule, das heißt während der normalen Produktion des Fadens, durch die Saugdüse läuft. Der Faden tritt durch eine weitere, als Eintrittsmündung für den Faden dienende Öffnung in die Saugdüse ein und durch eine andere Öffnung, insbesondere durch die Ansaugmündung, wieder aus der Saugdüse aus. Der Faden läuft ausgehend von einer Fadenliefereinrichtung, welche eine Spinnstelle sein kann, nach den Lieferwalzen zuerst frei und erst unmittelbar vor der Spule tritt er in die Saugdüse ein. Dadurch, dass der Faden sich während des normalen Lieferprozesses unmittelbar vor der Spule in der Saugdüse befindet, muss er beim Ansetzen nach einem Fadenbruch und dem Finden des Fadenendes nicht aus der Saugdüse herausgenommen, in einen anderen Fadenlauf gebracht und neu angesetzt werden, sondern kann nach dem Auffinden des Fadenendes in der Saugdüse und in dem Fadenlauf verbleiben. Hierdurch wird Zeit beim Wiederansetzen des Fadens an einen neuen Faden gespart. Die Produktivität der Maschine und deren Wirkungsgrad kann hierdurch gesteigert werden. Dadurch, dass der Faden ausgehend von der Fadenliefereinrichtung zuerst frei, d.h. nicht durch die Saugdüse läuft und erst unmittelbar vor der Spule in die Saugdüse eintritt, ist die Handhabung des Fadens sehr einfach. Beispielsweise können Abzugseinrichtungen des Fadens zum Abziehen aus der Lieferstelle hierdurch einfach bedient werden. Auch das Einfädeln des Fadens in die Saugdüse kann problemlos erfolgen, da keine langen Wege des Fadens in der geschlossenen Saugdüse zurückgelegt werden müssen. Ein Verstopfen der Saugdüse wird damit zuverlässig vermieden. Die Saugdüse ist dadurch relativ kurz. Ein Fadenlauf mit einer Länge von weniger als 80 cm, vorzugsweise von weniger als 40 cm innerhalb der Saugdüse hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft herausgestellt.The object is achieved with the features of the independent claims. The method according to the invention on a spinning machine with a large number of similar spinning units with a thread delivery device with delivery rollers, a thread being produced in the spinning unit and being pulled out of the spinning unit by means of delivery rollers, is used to deliver a thread to a spool, to lay the thread on the spool, for winding the thread onto the bobbin and for finding a thread end wound on the bobbin by means of a suction nozzle. The thread end is sucked in by means of an opening facing the bobbin circumference and serving as the suction mouth of the suction nozzle. In order to be able to find the end of the thread quickly on the spool in the event of a break in the thread and to have it readily available for reattachment to a new thread, it is provided that the thread is delivered to the spool, i.e. during normal production of the Fadens, runs through the suction nozzle. The thread enters the suction nozzle through a further opening serving as an entry opening for the thread and exits the suction nozzle through another opening, in particular through the suction opening. Starting from a thread delivery device, which can be a spinning station, the thread runs freely after the delivery rollers and only enters the suction nozzle immediately before the bobbin. The fact that the thread is in the suction nozzle directly in front of the bobbin during the normal delivery process means that it does not have to be applied when the thread breaks and the end of the thread is found removed from the suction nozzle, brought into another thread run and reattached, but can remain in the suction nozzle and in the thread run after the end of the thread has been found. This saves time when the thread is reattached to a new thread. This can increase the productivity of the machine and its efficiency. The fact that the thread, starting from the thread delivery device, first runs freely, ie does not run through the suction nozzle and only enters the suction nozzle directly in front of the bobbin, makes the thread very easy to handle. For example, pulling devices of the thread for pulling out of the delivery point can thereby be operated in a simple manner. The threading of the thread into the suction nozzle can also be carried out without any problems, since no long paths of the thread have to be covered in the closed suction nozzle. This reliably prevents the suction nozzle from becoming blocked. The suction nozzle is therefore relatively short. A thread path with a length of less than 80 cm, preferably less than 40 cm within the suction nozzle has proven to be particularly advantageous.

Darüber hinaus ist der Aufbau der nach diesem Verfahren arbeitenden Textilmaschine deutlich einfacher als im Stand der Technik, da Handhabungsgeräte, welche das Fadenende aus der Saugdüse entnehmen und in dem normalen Fadenlauf verbringen müssen, nicht oder zumindest nicht in erheblichem Umfang erforderlich sind.In addition, the structure of the textile machine operating according to this method is significantly simpler than in the prior art, since handling devices which remove the thread end from the suction nozzle and have to spend it in the normal thread run are not or at least not to a considerable extent required.

Besonders bevorzugt verläuft der Faden während der normalen Lieferung an die Spule sowohl durch die Eintrittsmündung als auch durch die Ansaugmündung der Saugdüse. Hierdurch kann der Faden nach dem Ansaugen entgegengesetzt der Lieferrichtung in die Ansaugmündung und die Eintrittsmündung geführt werden und nach dem Ansetzen des Fadens wieder in normaler Lieferrichtung bewegt werden, ohne die Position wesentlich zu ändern.The thread particularly preferably runs through the inlet mouth as well as through the suction mouth of the suction nozzle during normal delivery to the bobbin. As a result, the thread can be fed into the suction mouth and the inlet mouth opposite to the delivery direction and can be moved again in the normal delivery direction after the thread has been attached without significantly changing the position.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung der Erfindung wird die Saugdüse entweder über die Eintrittsmündung oder eine dritte, als Anschlussmündung dienende Öffnung an eine Absauganlage angeschlossen. Die Absauganlage erzeugt Unterdruck in der Saugdüse und bewirkt hierdurch, dass dann der an der Ansaugöffnung anliegende Unterdruck das Fadenende am Spulenumfang auffindet, wenn sich die Spule, insbesondere entgegen der normalen Aufwickelrichtung, entlang der Ansaugöffnung bewegt. Die Verbindung der Saugdüse mit der Absauganlage bietet sich über die bereits vorhandene Eintrittsmündung besonders gut an. In einer anderen Ausführung der Erfindung kann es aber auch vorteilhaft sein, dass eine dritte Öffnung an der Saugdüse angeordnet ist, welche mit der Absauganlage verbunden wird. An dieser Stelle kann die Absauganlage permanent angeschlossen sein und es muss keine Bewegung der Unterdruck führenden Bauteile durchgeführt werden.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the suction nozzle is connected to a suction system either via the inlet mouth or a third opening serving as a connection mouth. The suction system generates negative pressure in the suction nozzle and thereby causes the negative pressure applied to the suction opening to find the thread end on the circumference of the bobbin when the bobbin moves along the suction opening, in particular against the normal winding direction. The connection of the suction nozzle to the suction system is particularly good via the already existing inlet mouth. In another embodiment of the invention, however, it can also be advantageous that a third opening is arranged on the suction nozzle and is connected to the suction system. At this point, the extraction system can be permanently connected and there is no need to move the vacuum-carrying components.

Wird die Eintrittsmündung zum Abdichten der Saugdüse beim Ansaugen des Fadenendes verschlossen, so wird in besonders vorteilhafter Weise der Unterdruck an der Ansaugmündung erhöht. Saugverluste über die Eintrittsmündung werden damit vermieden.If the inlet mouth is closed to seal the suction nozzle when the thread end is sucked in, the vacuum at the suction mouth is increased in a particularly advantageous manner. This prevents suction losses through the inlet mouth.

Wird die Eintrittsmündung beim Ansaugen des Fadenendes über ein Verbindungselement mit der Absauganlage verbunden, so ist auch bei dieser Ausführung der Erfindung das wesentliche, Unterdruck führende Bauteil fest in der Maschine angeordnet. Lediglich das Verbindungselement muss bewegt werden. Dies kann schnell und ohne großen baulichen Aufwand erfolgen.If the inlet mouth is connected to the suction system via a connecting element when the thread end is sucked in, then in this embodiment of the invention the essential, vacuum-guiding component is firmly arranged in the machine. Only the connecting element has to be moved. This can be done quickly and without great structural effort.

Wird die Ansaugmündung der Saugdüse in zumindest zwei, vorzugsweise drei Positionen mit unterschiedlichem Abstand zum Spulenumfang verstellt, so kann auf verschiedene Zustände optimal eingegangen werden. Insbesondere kann dabei an die speziellen Anforderungen beim normalen Lieferbetrieb des Fadens, beim Faden suchen oder bei einem Bedarf zum speziellen Handhaben des Fadens, beispielsweise zum Heben des Fadens aus einem Changierfadenführer genutzt werden. Durch die verschiedenen Positionen der Ansaugmündung in Bezug auf den Spulenumfang kann ein sehr schnelles Auffinden des Fadenendes und Handhaben des Fadenendes zum Wiederansetzen durchgeführt werden.If the suction mouth of the suction nozzle is adjusted in at least two, preferably three positions with a different distance from the coil circumference, various conditions can be optimally dealt with. In particular, the special requirements during normal delivery operation of the thread, searching for the thread or, if required, for special handling of the thread, for example for lifting the thread from a traversing thread guide, can be used. Through the different positions the suction opening in relation to the bobbin circumference, the thread end can be found very quickly and the thread end can be handled for reattachment.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Bewegung der verstellbaren Ansaugmündung mit einem Fadenheber und/oder mit einem Fadenführer der Fadenchangiereinrichtung gekoppelt wird. Diese Kopplung kann mechanisch oder mittels einer elektronischen Steuerung erfolgen. Die Kopplung kann derart sein, dass bei einer bestimmten Position der Ansaugmündung der Fadenheber den Faden aus dem Fadenführer hebt, so dass er nicht mehr an der Oberfläche der Spule changiert und/oder dass der Fadenführer der Fadenchangiereinrichtung dazu veranlasst wird, dass er sich aus dem Bereich der Spule bzw. der Ansaugmündung heraus bewegt, um der Bewegung der Ansaugmündung nicht im Wege zu sein.It is particularly advantageous if the movement of the adjustable suction mouth is coupled to a thread lifter and / or to a thread guide of the thread traversing device. This coupling can take place mechanically or by means of an electronic control. The coupling can be such that the thread lifter lifts the thread out of the thread guide at a certain position of the suction mouth, so that it no longer oscillates on the surface of the bobbin and / or that the thread guide of the thread traversing device is caused to move out of the Area of the coil or the suction mouth moved out so that the movement of the suction mouth is not in the way.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Ansaugmündung in der ersten, insbesondere mittleren Position der Ansaugmündung angeordnet wird, wenn der Faden während der normalen Lieferung an die Spule auf diese aufgewickelt wird. In dieser ersten Position ist die Ansaugmündung so positioniert, dass sie dem Fadenlauf nicht im Wege ist. Sie ist weder zu nahe an der Spule, wo sie das Aufwickeln des Fadens auf die Spule behindern könnte, noch ist sie zu weit zurückgezogen, um den Fadenlauf in der Saugdüse zu behindern.It is particularly advantageous if the suction mouth is arranged in the first, in particular middle position of the suction mouth when the thread is wound onto the bobbin during normal delivery. In this first position, the suction mouth is positioned so that it does not prevent the thread from running. It is neither too close to the bobbin, where it could hinder the winding of the thread on the bobbin, nor is it pulled back too far to prevent the thread running in the suction nozzle.

In der zweiten, insbesondere näheren Position der Ansaugmündung wird das Fadenende auf der Spule durch die Ansaugmündung gesucht. Die Ansaugmündung befindet sich damit in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Spulenumfang und kann hier eine besonders hohe Saugkraft auf die Oberfläche der Spule ausüben.In the second, in particular closer position of the suction mouth, the thread end on the bobbin is sought through the suction mouth. The suction mouth is thus in the immediate vicinity of the coil circumference and can exert a particularly high suction force on the surface of the coil.

Wird die zweite Position der Ansaugmündung in Abhängigkeit des Spulendurchmessers und/oder des aufzunehmenden Fadens eingestellt, so kann das Fadenende sehr schnell und sicher gefunden und aufgenommen werden.If the second position of the intake opening is set as a function of the bobbin diameter and / or the thread to be picked up, it can the thread end can be found and picked up very quickly and safely.

In der dritten, insbesondere entfernteren Position der Ansaugmündung wird ein Fadenheber betätigt. Der Fadenheber bewirkt, dass der Faden aus der Fadenchangiereinrichtung herausgehoben oder herausgehalten wird. Der Fadenführer kann in dieser Position aus dem Bereich der Ansaugmündung heraus bewegt werden, um das Handhaben des Fadens nicht zu behindern. Diese Position ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn sich der Faden in der Saugdüse befindet, aber nicht changiert werden soll.In the third, in particular more distant position of the suction mouth, a thread lifter is actuated. The thread lifter causes the thread to be lifted or held out of the thread traversing device. In this position, the thread guide can be moved out of the area of the suction mouth so as not to impede the handling of the thread. This position is particularly advantageous if the thread is in the suction nozzle but should not be changed.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Spinnmaschine mit einer Vielzahl gleichartiger Spinneinheiten , weist jeweils, d.h. pro Arbeitsstelle, eine Fadenliefereinrichtung mit Lieferwalzen zum Liefern eines Fadens an eine Spule, eine Fadenchangiereinrichtung zum Verlegen des Fadens auf der Spule, eine Spuleinrichtung zum Aufspulen des Fadens auf die Spule sowie eine Saugdüse zum Auffinden eines auf der Spule aufgewickelten Fadenendes auf. Die Saugdüse weist darüber hinaus eine dem Spulenumfang zugewandte, als Ansaugmündung zum Ansaugen des Fadenendes dienende Öffnung auf. Die Saugdüse kann stationär oder beweglich ausgeführt sein. Vorzugsweise ist sie jedoch stationär an der Arbeitsstelle befestigt. Erfindungsgemäß weist die Saugdüse neben der Ansaugmündung eine weitere, als Eintrittsmündung für den Faden dienende Öffnung auf, wobei der Faden während der Lieferung an die Spule durch die Saugdüse läuft. Der Faden tritt dabei durch die Eintrittsmündung in die Saugdüse ein und durch eine andere Öffnung, insbesondere die Ansaugmündung, aus der Saugdüse wieder aus. Die Saugdüse hat damit zumindest zwei unterschiedliche Mündungen, durch welche der Faden während der Lieferung an die Spule hindurchläuft. Damit ist der Unterschied des Fadenlaufs bei der normalen Lieferung im Vergleich zur Position des Fadens beim Auffinden des Fadenendes und bei dessen Einsaugen in die Saugdüse nicht oder nur geringfügig unterschiedlich. Das Handhaben des Fadenendes zur Verwendung beim Wiederansetzen des Fadens an einen neuen Faden ist damit besonders einfach durchzuführen. Das Handhaben des Fadens kann hierdurch sehr schnell und einfach erfolgen. Auch der bauliche Aufwand kann gering gehalten werden. Erfindungsgemäß ist es für das Handhaben des Fadens ganz besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die Saugdüse nach den Lieferwalzen und vor der Spule derart angeordnet ist, dass der Faden ausgehend von der Fadenliefereinrichtung zuerst frei läuft und erst unmittelbar vor der Spule in die Saugdüse eintritt. Ein Fadenlauf mit einer Länge von weniger als 80 cm, vorzugsweise von weniger als 40 cm innerhalb der Saugdüse hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft herausgestellt, um ein Verstopfen der Saugdüse zu vermeiden und genügend Platz zu lassen, um beispielsweise die Fadenabzugseinrichtung oder auch eine Fadenverbindungseinrichtung manuell oder mit entsprechenden Handhabungseinrichtungen bedienen zu können.A spinning machine according to the invention with a large number of similar spinning units has, that is to say per work station, a thread delivery device with delivery rollers for delivering a thread to a bobbin, a thread traversing device for laying the thread on the bobbin, a bobbin winding device for winding the thread onto the bobbin and a suction nozzle to find a thread end wound on the bobbin. The suction nozzle also has an opening facing the bobbin circumference and serving as a suction opening for sucking in the thread end. The suction nozzle can be stationary or movable. However, it is preferably attached to the work station in a stationary manner. According to the invention, the suction nozzle has, in addition to the suction opening, a further opening serving as the entry opening for the thread, the thread running through the suction nozzle during delivery to the bobbin. The thread enters the suction nozzle through the inlet mouth and exits the suction nozzle through another opening, in particular the suction mouth. The suction nozzle thus has at least two different openings through which the thread runs during delivery to the bobbin. Thus, the difference of the thread run in the normal delivery is not or only slightly different in comparison to the position of the thread when the end of the thread is found and when it is sucked into the suction nozzle. The handle of the thread end for use when reattaching the thread to one new thread is particularly easy to carry out. As a result, the thread can be handled very quickly and easily. The construction effort can also be kept low. According to the invention, it is particularly advantageous for handling the thread if the suction nozzle is arranged after the delivery rollers and in front of the bobbin in such a way that the thread runs freely from the thread delivery device and only enters the suction nozzle directly in front of the bobbin. A thread run with a length of less than 80 cm, preferably less than 40 cm within the suction nozzle has proven to be particularly advantageous in order to avoid clogging of the suction nozzle and to leave enough space, for example, for the thread take-off device or a thread connecting device to be manual or to be able to operate with appropriate handling devices.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Saugdüse stationär an der Arbeitsstelle angeordnet ist. Hierdurch ist eine Bewegung der Saugdüse selbst nicht erforderlich. Der Aufbau der Saugdüse und der Befestigung an der Arbeitsstelle kann hierdurch besonders einfach erfolgen.It is particularly advantageous if the suction nozzle is arranged stationary at the work place. As a result, movement of the suction nozzle itself is not necessary. This makes it particularly easy to set up the suction nozzle and attach it to the work station.

Vorteilhafterweise ist die Saugdüse derart ausgeführt, dass ein Anschluss über die Eintrittsmündung oder eine dritte, als Anschlussmündung dienende Öffnung an eine Absauganlage erfolgen kann. Beim Anschluss der Absauganlage an die Eintrittsmündung ist zwar der bauliche Aufwand sehr gering zu halten. Allerdings besteht bei einer solchen Ausführung die Gefahr, dass der Bauraum, welcher an dieser Stelle zur Verfügung steht, gering ist, so dass die Anordnung der Verbindung der Saugdüse mit der Absauganlage an dieser Stelle problematisch sein kann. Einfacher ist die Anordnung der Absauganlage über eine dritte, als Anschlussmündung dienende Öffnung an der Saugdüse. Diese Öffnung kann in einem Bereich der Saugdüse angeordnet sein, an welchem mehr Bauraum zur Verfügung steht. Hiermit kann die Ausführung dieser Variante der Erfindung einfach durchzuführen sein.The suction nozzle is advantageously designed in such a way that it can be connected to a suction system via the inlet opening or a third opening serving as a connection opening. When connecting the suction system to the inlet mouth, the construction effort is to be kept very low. However, with such an embodiment there is a risk that the installation space which is available at this point is small, so that the arrangement of the connection of the suction nozzle to the suction system can be problematic at this point. The arrangement of the extraction system via a third opening on the suction nozzle, which serves as a connection mouth, is simpler. This opening can be arranged in an area of the suction nozzle where more space is available. This makes it easy to carry out this variant of the invention.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung ist der Eintrittsmündung ein Verschlusselement zugeordnet. Das Verschlusselement dient zum Abdichten der Saugdüse beim Ansaugen des Fadenendes. Diese Ausführung, welche insbesondere in Verbindung mit einer dritten, als Anschlussmündung dienenden Öffnung an eine Absauganlage vorgesehen sein wird, dient dazu, dass der Unterdruck an der Ansaugmündung hoch ist und nicht durch weitere, in diesem Augenblick nicht benötigte Öffnungen, geschwächt wird. Das Auffinden des Fadenendes mit einem hohen Unterdruck an der Ansaugmündung geht in der Regel schneller und zuverlässiger als mit einem niedrigen Unterdruck.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a closure element is assigned to the inlet mouth. The closure element serves to seal the suction nozzle when the thread end is sucked in. This version, which will be provided in particular in connection with a third opening serving as a connection opening to an extraction system, serves to ensure that the negative pressure at the suction opening is high and is not weakened by further openings which are not required at the moment. Finding the end of the thread with a high vacuum at the intake opening is usually faster and more reliable than with a low vacuum.

Ist der Eintrittsmündung ein Verbindungselement zugeordnet zum Verbinden der Saugdüse mit der Absauganlage beim Ansaugen des Fadenendes, so können sowohl die Saugdüse als auch die Absauganlage und die entsprechenden Saugrohranschlüsse stationär an der Arbeitsstelle angeordnet sein. Durch das Verbindungselement kann die Saugdüse an den Unterdruck der Absauganlage angeschlossen werden.If a connecting element is assigned to the inlet mouth for connecting the suction nozzle to the suction system when the thread end is being sucked in, then both the suction nozzle and the suction system and the corresponding suction pipe connections can be arranged stationary at the work station. The connecting element enables the suction nozzle to be connected to the vacuum of the extraction system.

Vorzugsweise ist das Verbindungselement und oder das Verschlusselement für die Eintrittsmündung schwenk- oder verschiebbar gelagert. Das Verbinden der Saugdüse mit der Absauganlage bzw. das Verschließen der in diesem Moment nicht benötigten Eintrittsmündung kann hierdurch sehr einfach durchgeführt werden.The connecting element and or the closure element for the inlet mouth is preferably pivotally or displaceably mounted. The connection of the suction nozzle to the suction system or the closing of the inlet mouth that is not required at this moment can be carried out very easily.

Ist die Ansaugmündung der Saugdüse verstellbar, insbesondere verschiebbar, so kann die Ansaugmündung in verschiedene Positionen in Bezug auf den Spulenumfang der Spule gebracht werden. Hierdurch kann gezielt ein Unterdruck auf die Oberfläche der Spule erzeugt werden oder die Ansaugmündung aus einem für das Fadenende störenden Bereich bewegt werden.If the suction mouth of the suction nozzle is adjustable, in particular displaceable, the suction mouth can be brought into different positions with respect to the coil circumference of the coil. In this way, a negative pressure can be generated in a targeted manner on the surface of the bobbin or the suction mouth can be moved out of an area that disturbs the thread end.

Ist die verstellbare Ansaugmündung mit einem Fadenheber und/oder mit einem Fadenführer der Fadenchangierung gekoppelt, so kann durch die Bewegung der Ansaugmündung eine Bewegung des Fadenhebers oder des Fadenführers bewirkt werden. Insbesondere die Koppelung von Ansaugmündung und Fadenheber kann mittels einer Kulissenführung erfolgen. Durch die Bewegung der Ansaugmündung wird der Fadenheber entlang dieser Kulisse geführt und kann entsprechende Bewegungen durchführen, insbesondere den Faden aus dem Fadenführer heben oder absenken.If the adjustable suction mouth is coupled to a thread lifter and / or to a thread guide of the thread traversing, the movement can a movement of the thread lifter or the thread guide can be brought about in the suction mouth. In particular, the coupling of the suction mouth and thread lifter can be carried out by means of a link guide. Through the movement of the suction mouth, the thread lifter is guided along this backdrop and can carry out corresponding movements, in particular lifting or lowering the thread from the thread guide.

Der Fadenführer der Fadenchangiereinrichtung kann bei einer entsprechenden Stellung der Ansaugmündung aus dem Bereich der Ansaugmündung heraus bewegt werden. Dies geschieht vorzugsweise mittels einer elektronischen Schaltung, welche in einem bestimmten Zustand der Maschine bewirkt, dass der Fadenführer aus dem kritischen Bereich heraus bewegt wird. Dies ist insbesondere von Vorteil, wenn die Fadenchangiereinrichtung und oder die Spuleinrichtung Einzelantriebe aufweisen. Durch diese Einzelantriebe kann die einzelne Arbeitsstelle unabhängig von den anderen Arbeitsstellen eine bestimmte, im Augenblick erforderliche Bewegung der Fadenchangiereinrichtung bzw. der Spuleinrichtung durchführen.The thread guide of the thread traversing device can be moved out of the area of the suction mouth with a corresponding position of the suction mouth. This is preferably done by means of an electronic circuit which, in a certain state of the machine, causes the thread guide to be moved out of the critical area. This is particularly advantageous if the thread traversing device and or the winding device have individual drives. By means of these individual drives, the individual work station can carry out a specific movement of the thread traversing device or the winding device that is required at the moment, independently of the other work stations.

In Figur 1 ist eine Arbeitsstelle 1 mit einer Spinneinheit 2, einer Fadenliefereinrichtung 3, einer Saugdüse 4, eine Fadenchangiereinrichtung 5 und eine Spuleinrichtung 6 dargestellt. In der Spinneinheit 2 wird ein Faden 7 hergestellt und mittels Lieferwalzen 8 aus der Spinneinheit 2 abgezogen. Der Faden 7 gelangt sodann, nachdem er bis hierhin frei gelaufen ist, unmittelbar vor einer Spule 12 der Spuleinrichtung 6 durch eine Eintrittsmündung 9 in die Saugdüse 4 und tritt aus der Ansaugmündung 10 wieder aus dieser heraus. Von der zwischen der Ansaugmündung 10 der Saugdüse 4 und der Spuleinrichtung 6 angeordneten Fadenchangiereinrichtung 5 wird der Faden 7 mittels eines hin und her bewegten Fadenführers 11 auf der Spule 12 aufgewickelt. Die Spule 12 dreht sich in Pfeilrichtung, um den Faden 7 aufwickeln zu können. Die Spule 12 ist in einem Spularm 14 gehalten und mit einer sich drehenden Spulwalze 13 angetrieben. Dadurch, dass der Faden 7 über eine lange Strecke frei läuft, kann er beim Ansetzen des Fadens 7 problemlos zwischen die Lieferwalzen 8 eingelegt oder in die Spinneinheit 2 eingeführt werden.In Figure 1 A work station 1 with a spinning unit 2, a thread delivery device 3, a suction nozzle 4, a thread traversing device 5 and a winding device 6 is shown. A thread 7 is produced in the spinning unit 2 and drawn off from the spinning unit 2 by means of delivery rollers 8. The thread 7 then, after it has run freely up to this point, passes directly in front of a bobbin 12 of the bobbin 6 through an inlet mouth 9 into the suction nozzle 4 and emerges from the suction mouth 10 again. The thread 7 is wound onto the spool 12 by means of a thread guide 11 which is moved back and forth by the thread traversing device 5 arranged between the suction mouth 10 of the suction nozzle 4 and the winding device 6. The bobbin 12 rotates in the direction of the arrow in order to be able to wind the thread 7. The bobbin 12 is held in a bobbin arm 14 and driven by a rotating bobbin roller 13. Because the thread 7 runs freely over a long distance, it can be easily inserted between the delivery rollers 8 or inserted into the spinning unit 2 when the thread 7 is attached.

Im Bereich der Eintrittsmündung 9 ist eine Anschlussmündung 15 einer Saugleitung 16 angeordnet. Die Saugleitung 16 ist mit einer Absauganlage 17 verbunden, in welcher Unterdruck herrscht. Die Saugleitung 16 ist mittels eines Ventils 18 absperrbar, so dass nur bei Bedarf Unterdruck an der Anschlussmündung 15 der Saugleitung 16 anliegt.A connection mouth 15 of a suction line 16 is arranged in the area of the inlet mouth 9. The suction line 16 is connected to a suction system 17 in which there is negative pressure. The suction line 16 can be shut off by means of a valve 18, so that negative pressure is present at the connection mouth 15 of the suction line 16 only when required.

Die Saugdüse 4 mit der Eintrittsmündung 9 und die Saugleitung 16 mit der Anschlussmündung 15 sind separat voneinander ausgeführt. Während der Faden 7 an die Spule 12 geliefert wird, läuft der Faden 7 an der Anschlussmündung 15 vorbei und in die Eintrittsmündung 9 in die Saugdüse 4 hinein. Ein Verbindungselement 19, welches in der Lage ist, die Eintrittsmündung 9 mit der Anschlussmündung 15 zu verbinden, ist seitlich versetzt zum Fadenlauf angeordnet, so dass der Faden 7 nicht behindert wird.The suction nozzle 4 with the inlet mouth 9 and the suction line 16 with the connection mouth 15 are designed separately from one another. While the thread 7 is being delivered to the bobbin 12, the thread 7 runs past the connection mouth 15 and into the inlet mouth 9 into the suction nozzle 4. A connecting element 19, which is able to connect the inlet mouth 9 to the connection mouth 15, is arranged laterally offset from the thread run, so that the thread 7 is not hindered.

In Figur 2 ist die Arbeitsstelle der Figur 1 dargestellt. Im Unterschied zu der Darstellung der Figur 1 ist bei Figur 2 der Faden 7 von der Spule 12 zurückgeliefert. Der Faden 7 wurde zuvor unterbrochen, so dass das Fadenende auf der Spule 12 aufgewickelt wurde. Um den Faden 7 bzw. dessen Fadenende auf der Oberfläche der Spule 12 finden und aufnehmen zu können, ist die Ansaugmündung 10 der Saugdüse 4 besaugt. Die Besaugung erfolgt derart, dass das Verbindungselement 19 die Eintrittsmündung 9 mit der Anschlussmündung 15 verbindet. Bei einer Öffnung des Ventils 18 herrscht somit in der Saugdüse 4 über die Saugleitung 16 Unterdruck aus der Absauganlage 17. Das Verbindungselement 19 schafft somit einen durchgehenden Absaugkanal, der aus der Saugdüse 4, dem Verbindungselement 19 und der Saugleitung 16 besteht. Der Faden 7 wird nach dem Auffinden auf dem Umfang der Spule 12 in diesen Absaugkanal eingesaugt und kann anschließend weiter behandelt werden. Eine Behandlung kann beispielsweise darin bestehen, dass der Faden 7 abgelängt und das dabei entstehende Fadenende für ein Wiederanspinnen in der Spinneinheit 2 vorbereitet wird.In Figure 2 is the job of the Figure 1 shown. In contrast to the representation of the Figure 1 is at Figure 2 the thread 7 is returned from the bobbin 12. The thread 7 was previously interrupted, so that the thread end was wound on the spool 12. In order to be able to find and pick up the thread 7 or its thread end on the surface of the bobbin 12, the suction mouth 10 of the suction nozzle 4 is vacuumed. The suction is carried out in such a way that the connecting element 19 connects the inlet mouth 9 to the connection mouth 15. When the valve 18 is opened, there is negative pressure in the suction nozzle 4 via the suction line 16 from the suction system 17. The connecting element 19 thus creates a continuous suction channel, which consists of the suction nozzle 4, the connecting element 19 and the suction line 16. After being found on the circumference of the bobbin 12, the thread 7 is sucked into this suction channel and can then be treated further. A treatment can consist, for example, in that the thread 7 is cut to length and the resulting thread end is prepared for re-spinning in the spinning unit 2.

Durch Entfernen des Verbindungselements 19 und damit erneutes Öffnen der Saugdüse 4, kann das durch den Unterdruck aufgespannte Fadenende von einer Bedienungsperson oder einem Handhabungsgerät erfasst werden und zur weiteren Behandlung aus dem Kanal entnommen werden.By removing the connecting element 19 and thus opening the suction nozzle 4 again, the thread end clamped by the negative pressure can be grasped by an operator or a handling device and removed from the channel for further treatment.

Figur 3 zeigt eine weitere Arbeitsstelle 1, welche ähnlich der Arbeitsstelle 1 der Figur 1 ist. Im Unterschied zu der Ausführung der Figur 1 weist diese jedoch eine Saugdüse 4 auf, welches drei Öffnungen hat. Zusätzlich zu der Eintrittsmündung 9 und der Ansaugmündung 10 ist in der Saugdüse 4 die Anschlussmündung 15 integriert. Eine Verbindung der Eintrittsmündung 9 und der Anschlussmündung 15 wie bei Figur 1 ist dementsprechend nicht erforderlich. Im normalen Fadenlauf - bei Lieferung des Fadens 7 - tritt der Faden 7, wie auch zuvor beschrieben, durch die Eintrittsmündung 9 in die Saugdüse 4 ein und verlässt dieses wieder durch die Ansaugmündung 10, bevor er auf der sich in Pfeilrichtung drehenden Spule 12 aufgewickelt wird. Der Eintrittsmündung 9 ist ein Verschlusselement 28 zugeordnet. Bei Lieferung des Fadens 7 befindet sich das Verschlusselement 28 außerhalb des Fadenlaufs, um diesen nicht zu stören. Die Saugleitung 16 kann abgesperrt sein. Figure 3 shows a further job 1, which is similar to job 1 of the Figure 1 is. In contrast to the execution of the Figure 1 however, it has a suction nozzle 4 which has three openings. In addition to the inlet mouth 9 and the suction mouth 10, the connection mouth 15 is integrated in the suction nozzle 4. A connection of the inlet mouth 9 and the connecting mouth 15 as in Figure 1 is accordingly not necessary. In normal thread travel - when the thread 7 is supplied - the thread 7, as also described above, enters the suction nozzle 4 through the inlet mouth 9 and leaves it again through the suction mouth 10 before it is wound on the spool 12 rotating in the direction of the arrow , A closure element 28 is assigned to the inlet mouth 9. When the thread 7 is supplied, the closure element 28 is located outside the thread run so as not to disturb it. The suction line 16 can be shut off.

In Figur 4 ist analog zu Figur 2 bei einer Arbeitsstelle 1 gemäß Figur 3 die Rücklieferung des Fadens 7 bzw. des Fadenendes dargestellt. Die Spule 12 dreht sich in Pfeilrichtung entgegen der Aufspulrichtung. Das Fadenende wurde zuvor von der Ansaugmündung 10 der Saugdüse 4 erfasst und durch den Unterdruck der Absauganlage 17 bei geöffnetem Ventil 18 abgesaugt. Um einen möglichst hohen Unterdruck an der Ansaugmündung 10 zu erzeugen ist mittels des Verschlusselements 28 die Eintrittsmündung 9 abgesperrt. Der Faden 7 befindet sich somit in einem im Wesentlichen geschlossenen Absaugkanal, welcher aus der Saugdüse 4, dem Verschlusselement 28 und der Saugleitung 16 gebildet ist. Die Anschlussmündung 15 ist dabei Teil der Saugdüse 4.In Figure 4 is analogous to Figure 2 at a job 1 according to Figure 3 the return delivery of the thread 7 or the thread end shown. The spool 12 rotates in the direction of the arrow against the winding direction. The thread end was previously grasped by the suction mouth 10 of the suction nozzle 4 and suctioned off by the vacuum of the suction system 17 when the valve 18 was open. In order to generate the highest possible negative pressure at the intake mouth 10, the inlet mouth 9 is shut off by means of the closure element 28. The thread 7 is thus located in a substantially closed suction channel, which is formed from the suction nozzle 4, the closure element 28 and the suction line 16. The connection mouth 15 is part of the suction nozzle 4.

In Figur 5 ist die Saugdüse 4 mit der Ansaugmündung 10 im Detail dargestellt. Zwischen der Ansaugmündung 10 und der Spule 12 bzw. der Spulwalze 13, welche die Spule 12 antreibt, ist der Fadenführer 11 der Fadenchangiereinrichtung 5 angeordnet. Der Fadenführer 11 bewegt den Faden 7 vor der Spule 12 hin und her, so dass eine Kreuzspule entsteht. Unterhalb des Fadens 7, zwischen der Ansaugmündung 10 und dem Fadenführer 11, ist ein Fadenheber 20 angeordnet. Der Faden 7 verläuft in dieser Darstellung, welche die Lieferung des Fadens 7 zeigt, über den Fadenheber 20 hinweg.In Figure 5 the suction nozzle 4 with the suction mouth 10 is shown in detail. The thread guide 11 of the thread traversing device 5 is arranged between the suction mouth 10 and the spool 12 or the winding roller 13, which drives the spool 12. The thread guide 11 moves the thread 7 back and forth in front of the bobbin 12, so that a cheese is formed. A thread lifter 20 is arranged below the thread 7, between the suction mouth 10 and the thread guide 11. In this illustration, which shows the delivery of the thread 7, the thread 7 runs over the thread lifter 20.

Der Faden 7 wird in der Saugdüse 4 durch einen Sensor 22 erfasst. Dieser Sensor 22 kann beispielsweise während der normalen Fadenlieferung aktiv sein. Vorteilhafter ist es jedoch, wenn der Sensor 22 eingesetzt wird, um zu erkennen, ob der Faden 7 beim Zurückliefern von der Spule 12 von der Saugdüse 4 erfasst worden ist.The thread 7 is detected in the suction nozzle 4 by a sensor 22. This sensor 22 can be active, for example, during normal thread delivery. However, it is more advantageous if the sensor 22 is used to recognize whether the thread 7 has been picked up by the suction nozzle 4 when it is returned from the bobbin 12.

An der Ansaugmündung 10 tritt der Faden 7 aus der Saugdüse 4 aus. Die Ansaugmündung 10 ist in einem Mündungsstück 21 angeordnet, welches sich in der Saugdüse 4 befindet. Es kann auch ganz oder teilweise außerhalb der Saugdüse 4 angeordnet sein. Das Mündungsstück 21 ist verschiebbar in der Saugdüse 4 befestigt. Die Verschiebung erfolgt im Wesentlichen in Fadenlängsrichtung, so dass das Mündungsstück 21 mehr oder weniger nahe an die Spule 12 heran gebracht werden kann.The thread 7 exits the suction nozzle 4 at the suction mouth 10. The suction mouth 10 is arranged in a mouthpiece 21, which is located in the suction nozzle 4. It can also be arranged entirely or partially outside the suction nozzle 4. The mouthpiece 21 is slidably mounted in the suction nozzle 4. The displacement takes place essentially in the longitudinal direction of the thread, so that the mouthpiece 21 can be brought more or less close to the bobbin 12.

Mit dem Mündungsstück 21 ist, wie in Figur 6 dargestellt, der Fadenheber 20 gekoppelt. In Figur 6 ist das Mündungsstück 21 im Vergleich zu Figur 4 weiter von der Spule 12 entfernt. Es ist somit in die Saugdüse 4 weiter eingeschoben. Das Mündungsstück 21 bzw. die Ansaugmündung 10 befindet sich somit in einer zweiten Position, welche weiter von der Spule 12 entfernt ist als in der ersten Position der Figur 5.With the mouthpiece 21 is, as in Figure 6 shown, the thread lifter 20 coupled. In Figure 6 is the mouthpiece 21 compared to Figure 4 further away from the coil 12. It is thus pushed further into the suction nozzle 4. The mouthpiece 21 or the suction mouth 10 is thus in a second position, which is further away from the coil 12 than in the first position Figure 5 ,

Durch die zweite Position des Mündungsstücks 21 bzw. der Ansaugmündung 10 ist der Fadenheber 20 in eine angehobene Position bewegt worden. Der Fadenheber 20 greift in dieser Position unter den Faden 7 und hebt diesen aus dem Fadenführer 11 heraus. Der Fadenführer 11 ist somit nicht mehr in der Lage den Faden 7 hin und her zu changieren. Diese Position ist vorteilhaft, wenn sich der Faden 7 in der Saugdüse 4 befindet, aber ein Aufspulen auf die Spule 12 nicht beabsichtigt ist. Dies kann beispielsweise bei einem kontrollierten Lieferstopp des Fadens 7 Vorteile bringen. Eine andere Situation, in welcher diese Position des Fadens 7 außerhalb des Fadenführers 11 erwünscht ist, ist beispielsweise beim Wiederanspinnen des zuvor unterbrochenen Fadens 7.The thread positioner 20 has been moved into a raised position by the second position of the mouthpiece 21 or the suction mouth 10. The In this position, thread lifter 20 reaches under thread 7 and lifts it out of thread guide 11. The thread guide 11 is thus no longer able to oscillate the thread 7 back and forth. This position is advantageous when the thread 7 is in the suction nozzle 4, but winding on the bobbin 12 is not intended. This can bring advantages, for example, when the thread 7 is stopped in a controlled manner. Another situation in which this position of the thread 7 outside the thread guide 11 is desired is, for example, when the thread 7 previously interrupted is re-spun.

In Figur 7 ist eine dritte Position der Ansaugmündung 10 dargestellt. In dieser Position befindet sich die Ansaugmündung 10 sehr nahe an der Oberfläche der Spule 12. Das Mündungsstück 21 ist dabei nahezu vollständig aus der Saugdüse 4 ausgefahren. Der Fadenheber 20 befindet sich in einer unteren Position, so dass das Mündungsstück 21 über diesen hinweg bewegt werden kann. Um eine Kollision mit dem Fadenführer 11 zu vermeiden ist der Fadenführer 11 mittels der Fadenchangiereinrichtung 5 aus dem Bereich des Mündungsstücks 21 heraus bewegt worden. Der Fadenführer 11 befindet sich dementsprechend seitlich des Mündungsstücks 21. Durch die Beaufschlagung der Saugdüse 4 mit Unterdruck gemäß den Ausführungen nach den Figuren 1 bis 4 liegt Unterdruck an der Ansaugmündung 10 an, welche ein auf dem Umfang der Spule 12 befindliches Fadenende ansaugt. Die Spule 12 dreht sich in Pfeilrichtung entgegen der Lieferrichtung und fördert damit das Fadenende in die Saugdüse 4 hinein. Der Sensor 22 erkennt, ob sich das Fadenende in der Saugdüse 4 befindet und kann dementsprechend das Ansaugen beenden bzw. weitere Handhabungsschritte einleiten.In Figure 7 A third position of the intake mouth 10 is shown. In this position, the suction mouth 10 is very close to the surface of the coil 12. The mouthpiece 21 is almost completely extended from the suction nozzle 4. The thread lifter 20 is in a lower position, so that the mouthpiece 21 can be moved over it. In order to avoid a collision with the thread guide 11, the thread guide 11 has been moved out of the area of the mouthpiece 21 by means of the thread traversing device 5. The thread guide 11 is accordingly located to the side of the mouthpiece 21. By applying suction to the suction nozzle 4 with negative pressure according to the explanations according to FIGS Figures 1 to 4 there is negative pressure at the suction mouth 10, which sucks a thread end located on the circumference of the bobbin 12. The bobbin 12 rotates in the direction of the arrow against the delivery direction and thus conveys the end of the thread into the suction nozzle 4. The sensor 22 detects whether the thread end is in the suction nozzle 4 and can accordingly stop the suction or initiate further handling steps.

In den Figuren 8a, 8b und 8c ist eine Kulisse 23 für den Fadenheber 20 in den drei zuvor beschriebenen Positionen dargestellt. Die Kulisse 23 ist mit dem Mündungsstück 21 verbunden und wird zusammen mit dem Mündungsstück 21 in Längsrichtung bewegt. Sie weist eine Kulissenführung 24 auf, in welcher ein Kulissenstein 25 gleitet. Der Fadenheber 20 ist über ein Gestänge 26 mit einer Drehachse 27 und dem Kulissenstein 25 verbunden. Durch die Bewegung der Kulisse 23 in Längsrichtung wird der Kulissenstein 25 in der Kulissenführung 24 bewegt und hebt oder senkt den Fadenheber 20 entsprechend an bzw. ab.In the Figures 8a, 8b and 8c is a backdrop 23 for the thread lifter 20 in the three positions described above. The setting 23 is connected to the mouthpiece 21 and is moved together with the mouthpiece 21 in the longitudinal direction. It has a sliding guide 24 in which a sliding block 25 slides. The thread lifter 20 is via a linkage 26 connected to an axis of rotation 27 and the sliding block 25. Through the movement of the link 23 in the longitudinal direction, the link block 25 is moved in the link guide 24 and raises or lowers the thread lifter 20 accordingly.

In der Darstellung der Figur 8a befindet sich der Fadenheber 20 in einer mittleren Position. Dementsprechend befindet sich auch die Kulisse 23 in einer mittleren Position, was der Darstellung der Figur 5 mit dem entsprechenden Mündungsstück 21 entspricht.In the representation of the Figure 8a the thread lifter 20 is in a middle position. Accordingly, the backdrop 23 is in a middle position, which is the representation of the Figure 5 corresponds with the corresponding mouthpiece 21.

Wird das Mündungsstück 21 zusammen mit der Kulisse 23 in die entfernte Position gemäß Figur 6 bzw. 8b bewegt, so bewirkt die Kulissenführung 24, dass der Kulissenstein 25 nach unten geführt wird. Hierdurch hebt sich der Fadenheber 20 an, um gemäß Figur 6 den Faden 7 aus dem Fadenführer 11 herauszuheben.According to the mouthpiece 21 together with the backdrop 23 in the removed position Figure 6 or 8b moves, the link guide 24 causes the link block 25 to be guided downward. As a result, the thread lifter 20 lifts up in accordance with Figure 6 to lift the thread 7 out of the thread guide 11.

In Figur 8c ist die vordere Position der Kulisse 23 bzw. des Mündungsstücks 21 aus Figur 7 dargestellt. In dieser Position befindet sich der Kulissenstein 25 am anderen Ende der Kulissenführung 24. Über die Drehachse 27 ist der Fadenheber 20 in eine untere Position bewegt, so dass er den Weg für das Mündungsstück 21 frei gibt und das Mündungsstück 21 in die vordere, spulennahe Position bewegt werden kann.In Figure 8c is the front position of the backdrop 23 or the mouthpiece 21 from Figure 7 shown. In this position, the sliding block 25 is located at the other end of the sliding guide 24. The thread lifter 20 is moved into a lower position via the axis of rotation 27, so that it clears the way for the mouthpiece 21 and the mouthpiece 21 in the forward position near the spool can be moved.

Die vorliegende Erfindung ist nicht auf die dargestellten und beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Abwandlungen im Rahmen der Patentansprüche sind ebenso möglich wie eine Kombination der Merkmale, auch wenn diese in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsbeispielen dargestellt und beschrieben sind.The present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown and described.
