Definitions
- the present invention relates to a drafting device for a spinning frame and a method for controlling the drafting device for the spinning frame, and more particularly, to a drafting device for a spinning frame that changes fiber feed periods and fiber feed amounts of fiber feed portions in accordance with predetermined conditions to spin a special yarn having continuous portions of different colors and raw materials and a method for controlling the drafting device for the spinning frame.
- Such a special yarn is manufactured by using, for example, first and second aprons that respectively correspond to two roving feed portions.
- Fig. 7 shows the relationship between the speed of each apron when a raw-material roving of each apron is switched and the state of the manufactured special yarn. As shown in the lower graph in Fig. 7 , at a raw-material roving switch time Ts1, deceleration of the second apron starts at the same time as when driving of the first apron starts. The speed of the first apron reaches the speed for normal spinning within a predetermined period from when driving of the first apron starts.
- the speed of the second apron becomes zero within the predetermined period from when the deceleration of the second apron starts. This stops the feeding of the roving.
- deceleration of the first apron starts at the same time as when driving of the second apron starts.

- the yarn strength may be insufficient at a feed start portion of the roving. Since the amount of intertwining is small between the fibers of two types of raw materials (friction between fibers), the yarn strength is insufficient at the feed start portion.
- Fig. 8 schematically shows the portion where the yarn strength is insufficient. Pills 51 and lint 52 are formed around the yarn at this portion. This is because fibers that are intertwined for a small amount are not twisted into a yarn. These fibers extend out of the yarn to form the lint 52 and wind around the outer side of the yarn to form the pills 51. When the intertwining amount of fibers decreases, the yarn strength decreases at the feed start portion. The same problem occurs when a sliver is used as a raw-material fiber instead of a roving.
- a drafting device for a spinning machine that solves the above problem includes apron pairs respectively arranged in correspondence with fiber feed portions, a front roller shared by the apron pairs, and a speed change controller configured to change speeds of the apron pairs in accordance with predetermined conditions.
- the speed change controller is configured so that when any one of the fiber feed portions starts feeding fibers, the speed change controller outputs a drive instruction to the apron pair, the apron pair corresponding to the fiber feed portion that starts feeding fibers, to drive the apron pair during a predetermined period at a lower speed than a speed for normal spinning and subsequently to shift the apron pair to the speed for normal spinning.
- a method for controlling a drafting device for a spinning machine that solves the above problem, the drafting device including apron pairs respectively arranged in correspondence with fiber feed portions, a front roller shared by the apron pairs, and a speed change controller configured to change speeds of the apron pairs in accordance with predetermined conditions, includes when any one of the fiber feed portions starts feeding fibers, driving the apron pair, the apron pair corresponding to the fiber feed portion that starts feeding fibers, during a predetermined period at a lower speed than a speed for normal spinning, and subsequently shifting the apron pair, the apron pair corresponding to the fiber feed portion that starts feeding fibers, to the speed for normal spinning.

- the thick portion of the yarn is emphasized in Fig. 5 .
- the speeds of the first apron pair 12 and the second apron pair 13 when switching the fiber feed portions do not have to change in a single step and may change, for example, in several steps.

More specifically, a second back roller may be arranged at the rear of the back roller around which the back bottom apron 26 runs so that the first apron pair 12 and the second apron pair 13 perform roving drafting with the second back roller.

- the cutting positions where the roving is cut when the first apron pair 12 or the second apron pair 13 stops are changed.
- yarn unevenness easily occurs at the switching portion. Since thin portions are formed in the yarn, the yarn strength easily decreases. In such a case, the second embodiment is employed to limit decreases in the yarn strength.
- Both the length of the mixing section and the mixing ratio do not have to be changed. Instead, only one of the length of the mixing section and the mixing ratio may be changed.
- the fiber fed from the fiber feed portion does not have to be a roving and may be a sliver.
- the present invention need only increase the mixing proportion of newly fed fibers in a special yarn from zero and does not have to set the mixing proportion of fibers in the special yarn that have already been fed to zero.
- the present invention may be combined with formation of a slub yarn (yarn in which slubs that differ in thickness are formed in longitudinal direction of yarn).
- the speed of the apron pair corresponding to the fiber feed portion that stops feeding fibers is not changed from the normal spinning during the predetermined period t.
- the speed of the apron 27 of the apron pair 13 corresponding to the fiber feed portion that stops feeding fibers may be higher than the normal spinning during the predetermined period t so that the feed start portion further increases in thickness.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a drafting device for a spinning frame and a method for controlling the drafting device for the spinning frame, and more particularly, to a drafting device for a spinning frame that changes fiber feed periods and fiber feed amounts of fiber feed portions in accordance with predetermined conditions to spin a special yarn having continuous portions of different colors and raw materials and a method for controlling the drafting device for the spinning frame.
- A method for sequentially feeding roving of different types of colors and fibers and manufacturing a special yarn (special design spun yarn) having continuous portions of different colors, raw materials, and thicknesses has been proposed (refer to, for example, patent document 1).
- Such a special yarn is manufactured by using, for example, first and second aprons that respectively correspond to two roving feed portions.
Fig. 7 shows the relationship between the speed of each apron when a raw-material roving of each apron is switched and the state of the manufactured special yarn. As shown in the lower graph inFig. 7 , at a raw-material roving switch time Ts1, deceleration of the second apron starts at the same time as when driving of the first apron starts. The speed of the first apron reaches the speed for normal spinning within a predetermined period from when driving of the first apron starts. The speed of the second apron becomes zero within the predetermined period from when the deceleration of the second apron starts. This stops the feeding of the roving. At a raw-material roving switch time Ts2, deceleration of the first apron starts at the same time as when driving of the second apron starts. - Patent Document 1: Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No.
61-70026 - When the feeding of a certain type of roving is started, the yarn strength may be insufficient at a feed start portion of the roving. Since the amount of intertwining is small between the fibers of two types of raw materials (friction between fibers), the yarn strength is insufficient at the feed start portion.
Fig. 8 schematically shows the portion where the yarn strength is insufficient.Pills 51 andlint 52 are formed around the yarn at this portion. This is because fibers that are intertwined for a small amount are not twisted into a yarn. These fibers extend out of the yarn to form thelint 52 and wind around the outer side of the yarn to form thepills 51. When the intertwining amount of fibers decreases, the yarn strength decreases at the feed start portion. The same problem occurs when a sliver is used as a raw-material fiber instead of a roving. - It is an object of the present invention to provide a drafting device for a spinning frame that is capable of spinning a special yarn having continuous portions of different colors and raw materials while limiting decreases in the yarn strength of a feed start portion of a raw-material fiber and a method for controlling the drafting device for the spinning frame.
- A drafting device for a spinning machine that solves the above problem includes apron pairs respectively arranged in correspondence with fiber feed portions, a front roller shared by the apron pairs, and a speed change controller configured to change speeds of the apron pairs in accordance with predetermined conditions. The speed change controller is configured so that when any one of the fiber feed portions starts feeding fibers, the speed change controller outputs a drive instruction to the apron pair, the apron pair corresponding to the fiber feed portion that starts feeding fibers, to drive the apron pair during a predetermined period at a lower speed than a speed for normal spinning and subsequently to shift the apron pair to the speed for normal spinning.
- A method for controlling a drafting device for a spinning machine that solves the above problem, the drafting device including apron pairs respectively arranged in correspondence with fiber feed portions, a front roller shared by the apron pairs, and a speed change controller configured to change speeds of the apron pairs in accordance with predetermined conditions, includes when any one of the fiber feed portions starts feeding fibers, driving the apron pair, the apron pair corresponding to the fiber feed portion that starts feeding fibers, during a predetermined period at a lower speed than a speed for normal spinning, and subsequently shifting the apron pair, the apron pair corresponding to the fiber feed portion that starts feeding fibers, to the speed for normal spinning.

A set of the first andsecond apron pairs weighting arm 14. - The
first apron pair 12 includes amiddle bottom apron 16 and a middle top apron 17. The middle bottom apron 16 runs around atensor bar 18, amiddle bottom roller 19, and atensioner 20. A support arm 21 is fixed to theweighting arm 14, and asupport shaft 22 is supported by the support arm 21. The middle top apron 17 runs between amiddle top roller 23, which is rotationally supported by each of the two ends of thesupport shaft 22, and anapron cradle 24, which is supported by thesupport shaft 22. Theapron cradle 24 includes atensioner 25. - The
second apron pair 13 includes aback bottom apron 26 and a back top apron 27. The back bottom apron 26 runs around thetensor bar 18, aback bottom roller 28, and thetensioner 20. That is, the back bottom apron 26 shares thetensor bar 18 and thetensioner 20 with themiddle bottom apron 16 and runs around theback bottom roller 28 so that the back bottom apron 26 passes by the vicinity of themiddle bottom roller 19. - A
support arm 29 is fixed to theweighting arm 14, and asupport shaft 30 is supported by thesupport arm 29. The back top apron 27 runs between aback top roller 31, which is rotationally supported by each of the two ends of thesupport shaft 30, and thetensioner 25, which is arranged on theapron cradle 24. That is, the back top apron 27 shares thetensioner 25 with the middle top apron 17 and runs around theback top roller 31 so that the back top apron 27 passes by the vicinity of the middletop roller 23. - As shown in
Fig. 2 , asupport bar 32 extends parallel to the axis of theback bottom roller 28 at the rear of theback bottom roller 28. Thesupport bar 32 supports afirst trumpet 33, which guides the first roving S1, and asecond trumpet 34, which guides the second roving S2, with abracket 35. - As shown in
Fig. 1 , afront roller motor 41 drives the front bottom roller 11 a, amiddle roller motor 42 drives themiddle bottom roller 19, and aback roller motor 43 drives theback bottom roller 28. In other words, themiddle roller motor 42 is a drive unit that drives thefirst apron pair 12, and theback roller motor 43 is a drive unit that drives thesecond apron pair 13. Thefront roller motor 41, themiddle roller motor 42, and theback roller motor 43 are respectively driven byinverters inverters controller 44. - A processor, namely, the
controller 44, includes a microcomputer and operates based on predetermined program data stored in a memory to control themotors 41 to 43 using theinverters 45 to 47. Thecontroller 44 functions as a speed change controller configured to change the speed of each of the apron pairs 12 and 13 in accordance with predetermined conditions. The speed of each of the apron pairs 12 and 13 refers to the circumferential speed of the two aprons of the apron pairs 12 and 13. Thecontroller 44 outputs a drive instruction to theapron pair apron pair apron pair controller 44 outputs a drive instruction to theapron pair apron pair apron pair apron pair motor apron pair controller 44 is capable of adjusting the acceleration rate and the deceleration rate of themiddle roller motor 42 and theback roller motor 43 in multiple stages, for example, six stages. - The operation of the
drafting device 10 will now be described. - The first roving S1 is fed from the first roving reel, which is suspended from the creel (not shown), through the
first trumpet 33 to thefirst apron pair 12. The second roving S2 is fed from the second roving reel, which is suspended from the creel (not shown), through thesecond trumpet 34 to thesecond apron pair 13. The first roving S1 and the second roving S2 are the same except for color. The first roving S1 and the second roving S2 are formed by the same raw-material fiber and have the same thickness. - The first roving S1 fed to the
first apron pair 12 is drafted between thefront roller device 11 and thefirst apron pair 12 into a fleece. Then, the fleece is wound around a bobbin via a snail wire (not shown) and a traveler (not shown). The second roving S2 fed to thesecond apron pair 13 is drafted between thefront roller device 11 and thesecond apron pair 13 into a fleece. Then, the fleece is wound around the bobbin via the snail wire (not shown) and the traveler (not shown). - The feeding of the first roving S1 and the feeding of the second roving S2 are switched during a predetermined period, and only one of the first roving S1 and the second roving S2 are fed except for the switching period. The amount of the first roving S1 fed per unit of time is proportional to the speed of the
first apron pair 12. The amount of the second roving S2 fed per unit of time is proportional to the speed of thesecond apron pair 13. - When the feeding of the first roving S1 is stopped, the driving of the
middle bottom roller 19 is stopped. When the driving of themiddle bottom roller 19 is stopped, the driving of themiddle bottom apron 16 is stopped. At the same time, the driving of the middle top apron 17 is stopped, and the driving of thefirst apron pair 12 is stopped. When thefirst apron pair 12 is stopped, the spun first roving S1 is cut between a nip point of thefirst apron pair 12 and a nip point of thefront roller device 11. When the feeding of the first roving S1 is restarted and the driving of themiddle bottom roller 19 is started, the driving of thefirst apron pair 12 is started. Thus, the first roving S1 is smoothly drafted between thefront roller device 11 and thefirst apron pair 12. - When the feeding of the second roving S2 is stopped, the driving of the
back bottom roller 28 is stopped. When the driving of theback bottom roller 28 is stopped, the driving of theback bottom apron 26 is stopped. At the same time, the driving of the back top apron 27 is stopped, and the driving of thesecond apron pair 13 is stopped. When thesecond apron pair 13 is stopped, the spun second roving S2 is cut between a nip point of thesecond apron pair 13 and a nip point of thefront roller device 11. When the feeding of the second roving S2 is restarted and the driving of theback bottom roller 28 is started, the driving of thesecond apron pair 13 is started. Thus, the second roving S2 is smoothly drafted between thefront roller device 11 and thesecond apron pair 13. - As shown in
Fig. 3A , in the first embodiment, the maximum speed of thefirst apron pair 12 is the same as the maximum speed of thesecond apron pair 13. When the fed roving is switched from the first roving S1 to the second roving S2, thecontroller 44 outputs a drive instruction to thesecond apron pair 13 corresponding to the second roving S2 to drive thesecond apron pair 13 at a lower speed than the speed for normal spinning from the predetermined period t prior to a predetermined switch time Ts1 for the predetermined period t and subsequently shifts thesecond apron pair 13 to the speed for normal spinning. At the same time, thecontroller 44 outputs a stop instruction to thefirst apron pair 12 corresponding to the first roving S1 to drive thefirst apron pair 12 at a lower speed than the speed for normal spinning during the predetermined period t and subsequently stops thefirst apron pair 12. - In the same manner, when the fed roving is switched from the second roving S2 to the first roving S1, the
controller 44 outputs a drive instruction to thefirst apron pair 12 corresponding to the first roving S1 to drive thefirst apron pair 12 at a lower speed than the speed for normal spinning from the predetermined period t prior to a predetermined switch time Ts2 for the predetermined period t and subsequently shifts thefirst apron pair 12 to the speed for normal spinning. At the same time, thecontroller 44 outputs a stop instruction to thesecond apron pair 13 corresponding to the second roving S2 to drive thesecond apron pair 13 at a lower speed than the speed for normal spinning during the predetermined period t and subsequently stops thesecond apron pair 13. -
Fig. 3B shows a pattern P of a special yarn Y when, for example, a white roving is used as the first roving S1 and a black roving is used as the second roving S2 so that the special yarn Y is spun from the two colors of roving. In this case, the portion of a length L (spun yarn length L) of the special yarn Y spun between the switch time Ts1 and the switch time Ts2 is a portion in a second color (black), and the portion of a spun yarn length from the switch time Ts2 that is prior to the switch time Ts1 to the switch time Ts1 or from the switch time Ts2 to the subsequent switch time Ts1 is a portion in a first color (white). To change the color of the special yarn Y from white to black, the amount of black fibers is increased and the amount of white fibers is accordingly decreased from the time prior to the switch time Ts1 by the predetermined period t. To change the color of the special yarn Y from black to white, the amount of white fibers is increased and the amount of black fibers is accordingly decreased from the time prior to the switch time Ts2 by the predetermined period t. - In the prior art, the feeding of the second roving S2 from the second roving reel is started at the switch time Ts1 at the same time as when the feeding of the first roving S1 from the first roving reel is stopped, whereas in the first embodiment, the feeding of the second roving S2 from the second roving reel is started at the time prior to the predetermined switch time Ts1. The feed amount of the second roving S2 is smaller than the feed amount of the normal spinning from when the feeding of the second roving S2 is started to the predetermined period t. Thus, since the second roving S2 that starts to be newly fed is gradually mixed with the first roving S1, the two types of raw-material fibers, namely, the first roving S1 and the second roving S2, are intertwined with each other in a preferred manner. This limits decreases in the yarn strength of the feed start portion of the raw-material fiber, that is, at the switching portion of the first roving S1 and the second roving S2.
- Further, in the first embodiment, during the predetermined period t, the first roving S1 is fed when the feed amount of the first roving S1 is smaller than the normal spinning in correspondence with the start of the feeding of the second roving S2. Subsequently, the feed amount of the first roving S1 further decreases in correspondence with the increase in the feed amount of the second roving S2. Thus, when the fed roving is switched, the sum of the feed amount of the first roving S1 and the feed amount of the second roving S2 is maintained at a constant value. Accordingly, the thickness of the yarn remains the same at the switching portion. This improves the aesthetic appeal of the obtained special yarn Y.
- In the same manner, when the second roving S2 is switched to the first roving S1, the
controller 44 outputs a drive instruction to thefirst apron pair 12 corresponding to the first roving S1 to drive thefirst apron pair 12 at a lower speed than the speed for normal spinning from the time prior to the predetermined switch time Ts2 and subsequently shifts thefirst apron pair 12 to the speed for normal spinning. At the same time, thecontroller 44 outputs a stop instruction to thesecond apron pair 13 corresponding to the second roving S2 to drive thesecond apron pair 13 at a lower speed than the speed for normal spinning and subsequently stops thesecond apron pair 13. Thus, even when the fed roving is switched from the second roving S2 to the first roving S1, decreases in the yarn strength at the switching portion are limited. This improves the aesthetic appeal of the obtained special yarn Y. - As shown in
Fig. 4 , the first embodiment differs from the special yarn obtained from the conventional drafting device in that the switching portion in the special yarn Y obtained from the draftingdevice 10 of the first embodiment is substantially free from pills and lint. - The proper values of the length of a raw-material fiber mixing section (mixing section) prior to the switch times Ts1 and Ts2 and the mixing ratio of the first roving S1 and the second roving S2 differ depending on the types of spun fibers and the spinning conditions. The mixing ratio of the first roving S1 and the second roving S2 correlates with the ratio of the speed of the
first apron pair 12 and the speed of thesecond apron pair 13. The mixing ratio of the first roving S1 and the second roving S2 is set to a proper range through experiments in advance. - The spinning frame is operated in a state in which settings are input to the
controller 44 before the operation of the spinning frame. Thecontroller 44 controls themiddle roller motor 42 and theback roller motor 43 so that themiddle roller motor 42 and theback roller motor 43 are accelerated and decelerated to suit the length of the set mixing section and the set mixing ratio of the first roving S1 and second roving S2. - The first embodiment has the advantages described below.
- (1) The
drafting device 10 includes thefirst apron pair 12 and thesecond apron pair 13 arranged in correspondence with the fiber feed portions (first roving reel and second roving reel), thefront roller device 11 shared by the first and second apron pairs 12 and 13, and the speed change controller (controller 44) that changes the speeds of the apron pairs 12 and 13 in accordance with predetermined conditions. When the fiber feed portions are switched, that is, when any one of the fiber feed portions starts feeding fibers, thecontroller 44 outputs a drive instruction to the corresponding apron pair to drive the apron pair during the predetermined period t at a lower speed than the normal spinning and subsequently to shift the corresponding apron pair to the speed for normal spinning.
In such a structure, two types of raw-material fibers are intertwined in a preferred manner. This limits decreases in the yarn strength of the switching portion (feed start portion). This spins the special yarn Y having continuous portions of different colors and raw materials while limiting decreases in the yarn strength at the switching portion of a raw-material fiber. - (2) When switching the fiber feed portions, the
controller 44 outputs a drive instruction to the apron pair corresponding to the fiber feed portion that starts feeding fibers (first apron pair 12 or second apron pair 13). At the same time, thecontroller 44 outputs a drive instruction to the apron pair corresponding to the fiber feed portion that stops feeding fibers (fiber feed portion other than fiber feed portion that starts feeding fibers) to drive the apron pair at a lower speed than the normal spinning during the predetermined period t.
In such a structure, at the same time as when the fiber feed portion, which starts feeding fibers, starts to feed fibers, the fiber feed portion that stops feeding fibers decreases the feed amount of fibers. The feed amount that is decreased is approximately the same as the amount of fibers that are newly fed. This limits changes in the yarn thickness at the switching portion (feed start portion). This improves the aesthetic appeal of the special yarn Y. - (3) The
controller 44 is configured to change the mixing section and the mixing ratio of multiple types of roving (roving of which feed is stopped and roving that is newly fed). This allows the fed fibers to be switched in a proper state in accordance with the types of fibers and the operation conditions. - A second embodiment will now be described with reference to
Fig. 5 . The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the drive instruction output by thecontroller 44 during the predetermined period t to the apron pair corresponding to the fiber feed portion that stops feeding fibers of thefirst apron pair 12 and thesecond apron pair 13 when switching the fiber feed portions. In the second embodiment, like or same reference numerals are given to those components that are the same as the corresponding components of the first embodiment. Such components will not be described in detail. - As shown in
Fig. 5 , when switching the fiber feed portions, thecontroller 44 outputs a drive instruction to the apron pair corresponding to the fiber feed portion that starts feeding fibers to drive the apron pair at a lower speed than the speed for normal spinning during the predetermined period t from the time prior to the predetermined switch time Ts1 or Ts2 by the predetermined period t and subsequently shifts the apron pair to the speed for normal spinning. Further, thecontroller 44 outputs a stop instruction at the predetermined switch times Ts2 and Ts1 to the apron pair corresponding to the fiber feed portion that stops feeding fibers (fiber feed portion other than fiber feed portion that starts feeding fibers). - Thus, for example, when switching from a state in which the first roving S1 is fed from the first roving reel to a state in which the second roving S2 is fed from the second roving reel, the second roving S2 is fed from the second roving reel at the mixing section, which is prior to the switch time Ts1, with the same amount of the first reel S1 fed from the first roving reel as the normal spinning. As a result, the yarn increases in thickness at a portion corresponding to the switching portion. Thus, the yarn does not become thin at any portion even when the distal end of the fibers of the roving that has been cut at the previous switch time Ts2 is not inserted into the
front roller device 11 in a timely manner. This ensures the yarn strength. To facilitate understanding, the thick portion of the yarn is emphasized inFig. 5 . - The embodiment is not limited to the foregoing structure. It should be understood that the embodiment may be implemented in the following forms.
- The speeds of the
first apron pair 12 and thesecond apron pair 13 when switching the fiber feed portions do not have to change in a single step and may change, for example, in several steps. Alternatively, as shown in a third embodiment ofFig. 6 , the speeds of thefirst apron pair 12 and thesecond apron pair 13 may change halfway in a curved manner (for example, quadratic curve) and then change in a straight manner. - When switching the fiber feed portions, the speeds of the
first apron pair 12 and thesecond apron pair 13 may both change in a curved manner until the speed of thefirst apron pair 12 becomes equal to the speed of thesecond apron pair 13. - The drafting
device 10 is not limited to a three-line type and may be of a four-line type. More specifically, a second back roller may be arranged at the rear of the back roller around which theback bottom apron 26 runs so that thefirst apron pair 12 and thesecond apron pair 13 perform roving drafting with the second back roller. - The number of the fiber feed portions does not have to be two and may be three or more. For example, three fiber feed portions that feed three types of fibers of different colors and raw materials may be configured to feed fibers in a predetermined order during different periods.
- The roving fed from the fiber feed portions does not have to have the same thickness and may have different thicknesses. When the yarns differ in thickness, the cutting positions where the roving is cut when the
first apron pair 12 or thesecond apron pair 13 stops are changed. Thus, yarn unevenness easily occurs at the switching portion. Since thin portions are formed in the yarn, the yarn strength easily decreases. In such a case, the second embodiment is employed to limit decreases in the yarn strength. - Both the length of the mixing section and the mixing ratio do not have to be changed. Instead, only one of the length of the mixing section and the mixing ratio may be changed.
- When the
drafting device 10 is of a four-line type, the fiber fed from the fiber feed portion does not have to be a roving and may be a sliver. - The present invention need only increase the mixing proportion of newly fed fibers in a special yarn from zero and does not have to set the mixing proportion of fibers in the special yarn that have already been fed to zero.
- The present invention may be combined with formation of a slub yarn (yarn in which slubs that differ in thickness are formed in longitudinal direction of yarn).
In the second embodiment, the speed of the apron pair corresponding to the fiber feed portion that stops feeding fibers is not changed from the normal spinning during the predetermined period t. Instead, the speed of the apron 27 of theapron pair 13 corresponding to the fiber feed portion that stops feeding fibers may be higher than the normal spinning during the predetermined period
t so that the feed start portion further increases in thickness.
