- An object of the present invention is, in a yarn winding machine having a section duct, a section blower, a main duct, and a main blower, to provide a configuration that easily removes the rejection material that is deposited on a filter member by using the suction current generated by the main blower, and that reduces a load on the main blower.

- a suction control method is for implementation in a yarn winding machine that includes a plurality of winding units; a section duct through which rejection material generated in at least one of the winding units flows; a section suction device having a rotating blade and generating a suction current in the section duct for sucking the rejection material from the winding unit; a filter member arranged between the section duct and the section suction device; a main duct connected to the section duct and through which the rejection material from the section duct flows; and a main suction device that generates a suction current in the main duct for moving the rejection material from the section duct.
- the suction control method includes performing, when the main suction device is generating the suction current, a deceleration control of temporarily reducing a rotational speed of the blade while maintaining the rotating state of the blade.
- a spinning frame 1 as a yarn winding machine shown in FIG. 1 includes a large number of spinning units (winding units) 2 arranged side-by-side, a yarn joining cart 3, a blower box 4, and a motor box 5.
- each of the spinning units 2 includes, sequentially arranged from upstream to downstream, a drafting device 7, a spinning device 9, a fly-waste removing section 30, a yarn accumulating device 12, and a winding device 13.
- upstream and downstream in the explanation of FIGS. 1 and 2 refer to upstream and downstream, respectively, in a running (transportation) direction of a sliver 15, a fiber bundle 8, and a spun yarn 10 during spinning.
- the drafting device 7 is arranged near an upper end of a frame 6 of the spinning frame 1.
- the drafting device 7 includes four roller pairs of a back roller pair 16, a third roller pair 17, a middle roller pair 19, and a front roller pair 20 sequentially from upstream.
- An apron belt 18 is stretched over each of the rollers of the middle roller pair 19.
- the drafting device 7 drafts the sliver 15 supplied from a not-shown sliver case until the fiber bundle 8 attains a predetermined thickness.
- the fiber bundle 8 drafted by the drafting device 7 is supplied to the spinning device 9.
- the spinning device 9 includes a swirling current generating chamber (not-shown) through which the fiber bundle 8 can be passed.
- the spinning device 9 generates a swirling current in the swirling current generating chamber by jetting compressed air from not-shown nozzles inside of the swirling current generating chamber.
- the spinning device 9 generates the spun yarn 10 by applying twists to the fiber bundle 8 by using the swirling current.
- the fly-waste removing section 30 includes suction pipes 91, section ducts 31, and a main duct 37.
- the fly-waste is transported through the suction pipes 91, the section ducts 31, and the main duct 37 of the fly-waste removing section 30 to a not-shown accumulation chamber (a cotton accumulation box).
- the accumulation chamber is connected to an end of the main duct 37.
- the fly-waste that flows through the main duct 37 is accumulated in the accumulation chamber.
- the yarn accumulating device 12 is arranged downstream of the spinning device 9. As shown in FIG. 2 , the yarn accumulating device 12 includes a yarn accumulating roller 21 and a motor 25 that rotationally drives the yarn accumulating roller 21.
- the yarn accumulating roller 21 temporarily accumulates the spun yarn 10 by winding a certain amount of the spun yarn 10 on an outer peripheral surface thereof.
- the spun yarn 10 is pulled from the spinning device 9 and transported to the downstream side at a predetermined speed by causing the yarn accumulating roller 21 to rotate at a predetermined rotational speed with the spun yarn 10 wound on the outer peripheral surface thereof. Because the spun yarn 10 can be temporarily accumulated on the outer peripheral surface of the yarn accumulating roller 21, the yarn accumulating device 12 can function as a kind of buffer.
- the buffering function of the yarn accumulating device 12 avoids troubles (for example, slackening and the like of the spun yarn 10) caused by a mismatch in a spinning speed of the spinning device 9 and a winding speed (the speed of the spun yarn 10 being wound into a package 45) due to some reason.
- An upstream guide 23 is arranged little upstream of the yarn accumulating roller 21.
- the upstream guide 23 guides the spun yarn 10 to the outer peripheral surface of the yarn accumulating roller 21.
- a yarn clearer 52 is arranged between the spinning device 9 and the yarn accumulating device 12.
- the spun yarn 10 generated in the spinning device 9 passes the yarn clearer 52 before it is wound on the yarn accumulating device 12.
- the yarn clearer 52 monitors a thickness of the running spun yarn 10. Upon detecting a yarn defect in the spun yarn 10, the yarn clearer 52 transmits a yarn-defect detection signal to a not-shown unit controller.
- the unit controller Upon receiving the yarn-defect detection signal from the yarn clearer 52, the unit controller cuts the spun yarn 10 by stopping driving of the spinning device 9, and stops winding and the like by the winding device 13. The unit controller sends a control signal to the yarn joining cart 3 to cause the yarn joining cart 3 to travel to the spinning unit 2. After completion of yarn joining by the yarn joining cart 3, the unit controller drives the spinning device 9 again to cause the winding device 13 to restart the winding.
- the yarn joining cart 3 includes a yarn joining device 43, a suction pipe 44, and a suction mouth 46.
- the yarn joining cart 3 travels on a rail 41 and stops at a work position corresponding to that spinning unit 2.
- the suction pipe 44 swings upward about a shaft to catch a spun yarn 10 from the spinning device 9, and then swings downward about the shaft to guide the spun yarn 10 to the yarn joining device 43.
- the suction mouth 46 swings downward about a shaft to catch a spun yarn 10 from the package 45, and then swings upward about the shaft to guide the spun yarn 10 to the yarn joining device 43.
- the yarn joining device 43 joins the spun yarns 10 guided thereto.
- the winding device 13 includes a cradle arm 71, a winding drum 72, and a traversing device 75.
- the cradle arm 71 is supported so as to be pivotable around a support shaft 70.
- the cradle arm 71 rotatably supports a bobbin 48 on which the spun yarn 10 is to be wound.
- the winding drum 72 rotates in a state of being in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the bobbin 48 or the package 45.
- the traversing device 75 includes a traversing guide 76 that guides the spun yarn 10.
- the winding device 13 drives the winding drum 72 with a not-shown electric motor while causing the traversing guide 76 to perform a reciprocating movement with a not-shown driving member. As a result, the spun yarn 10 is wound into the package 45 while traversing the spun yarn 10.
- upstream and downstream in the explanation of the fly-waste removing section 30 refer to upstream and downstream, respectively, in a transportation direction (that is, a direction in which a suction current flows) of the rejection material.
- the fly-waste removing section 30 includes, as shown in FIG. 3 , the section ducts 31, section blowers (section suction devices) 32, filter members 33, pressure detecting sections 35 (negative pressure detecting sections), the main duct 37, and a main blower (a main suction device) 38 (See FIG. 1 ).
- the section blower 32 and the main blower 38 can be a suction device other than a blower.
- the suction pipe 91 shown in FIG. 2 is provided for each of the spinning units 2.
- the suction pipe 91 connects the spinning unit 2 to the section duct 31.
- an upstream end of the suction pipe 91 is connected to the spinning device 9 (specifically, to a not-shown exhaust chamber formed downstream of the swirling current generating chamber) of the spinning unit 2.
- the suction pipes 91 of a predetermined number (20 in the present embodiment) of the spinning units 2 are connected to one section duct 31.
- 20 suction pipes 91 are connected to one section duct 31.
- One section duct 31 is arranged for the predetermined number of the spinning units 2 (in the following explanation, the group of the predetermined number of the spinning units 2 will be referred to as a section).
- the number of the spinning units 2 can be the same or can be different in different sections. Accordingly, the number of the suction pipes 91 and the number of the spinning units 2 connected to one section duct 31 can be the same or can be different in different section ducts 31.
- Each section duct 31 is connected to the main duct 37 and to an exhaust duct 34 in the downstream side thereof. Accordingly, a suction current generated by the main blower 38 also acts inside the section duct 31.
- the section blower 32 is arranged near the filter member 33 but inside the exhaust duct 34.
- the section blower 32 has blades 32a that generate a suction current by rotating and a section blower driving section (a section driving section) 32b that drives the blades 32a.
- the section blower driving section 32b is an electric motor and it is controlled by a section blower controlling section (a controlling section) 39.
- One section blower controlling section 39 can be arranged in a controlling device that controls the entire spinning frame 1, or can be arranged in each section.
- the filter member 33 is arranged at a connecting part of the section duct 31 and the exhaust duct 34.
- the filter member 33 is a net.
- the mesh of the net of the filter member 33 is set such that rejection material 81 cannot but air (a later-explained suction current 82) can pass through it.
- the pressure detecting section 35 is arranged in a region between the filter member 33 and the section blower 32 but inside the exhaust duct 34.
- the pressure detecting section 35 detects the pressure (the negative pressure) in this region. At least the suction current 82 generated by the section blower 32 acts in this region.
- the pressure detecting section 35 outputs a pressure detection signal to the section blower controlling section 39.
- the section blower 32 sucks air from the section duct 31 via the filter member 33 thereby generating the suction current 82 inside the section duct 31, inside the suction pipe 91, and the like.
- the suction current 82 is used mainly to move the rejection material 81, which is generated in the spinning device 9, via the suction pipe 91 to a downstream end of the section duct 31.
- the suction current 82 that passes through the filter member 33 is exhausted to the outside via an outlet 34a of the exhaust duct 34.
- the remaining suction current 82 along with the rejection material 81 flows into the main duct 37 via an opening 36 formed between the section duct 31 and the main duct 37. That is, in a state in which both the main blower 38 and the section blower 32 are being driven, a part of the suction current 82 in the section duct 31 flows toward the section blower 32 while the remaining part of the suction current 82 in the section duct 31 flows toward the main duct 37.
- the section duct 31 and the main duct 37 are directly connected to each other.
- the opening 36 is arranged in a connecting part of the section duct 31 and the main duct 37.
- the opening 36 is arranged in a downstream end of the section duct 31.
- the filter member 33 is arranged also in the downstream end of the section duct 31.
- a member to open and close (a shutter and the like) the opening 36 is not provided. Accordingly, because of a suction current 83 flowing in the main duct 37, the fly-waste moves into the main duct 37 from the section duct 31 via the opening 36.
- the main blower 38 is arranged near one end of the main duct 37 but inside the blower box 4 (see FIG. 1 ).
- the main blower 38 generates a negative pressure downstream of the main duct 37 thereby causing the suction current 83 to flow inside the main duct 37.
- the main blower 38 is always operated. That is, blades of the main blower 38 are always rotated during the winding.
- the rotation of the main blower 38 is controlled by the section blower controlling section (the controlling section) 39.
- a main blower controlling section can be provided separately from the section blower controlling section 39, and the rotation of the main blower can be controlled by this main blower controlling section.
- the rejection material 81 is taken by this suction current 83 to the not-shown accumulation chamber (the cotton accumulation box) arranged at the one end of the main duct 37.
- the fly-waste removing section 30 is configured so that a flow rate of the suction current 82 exhausted from the exhaust duct 34 is higher than a flow rate of the suction current 82 introduced into the main duct 37.
- a power consumption of the main blower 38 can be reduced because the flow rate of the suction current 83 sucked by the main blower 38 can be set low.
- the flow rate of the suction current 82 exhausted from the exhaust duct 34 can also be set lower than the flow rate of the suction current 82 introduced into the main duct 37.
- a method to remove the rejection material 81 deposited on the filter member 33 is explained below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7 .
- a curve labeled "rotational speed" in FIG. 4 shows an example of time variation of the rotational speed of the blades 32a of the section blower 32.
- the section blower controlling section 39 performs a normal control and a deceleration control.
- the normal control is a control in which the blades 32a are rotated at a substantially constant rotational speed (within a predetermined speed range).
- the section blower controlling section 39 performs the normal control not only when the spun yarn 10 is being wound but also when the winding of the spun yarn 10 is interrupted during the yarn joining and the like.
- the "predetermined speed range” is a speed range of the rotational speed, in the normal control, after an increase from the rotational speed at the time of ending of the deceleration control.
- the "predetermined speed range" is the speed, represented by the horizontal line of the curve, that is higher than the speed for the deceleration control.
- the "predetermined speed range" can be a constant speed as shown in FIG. 4 , or can be varied within a predetermined range so that the average speed is equal to the speed shown in FIG. 4 .
- the deceleration control is a control to maintain the rotation of the blades 32a while temporarily reducing the rotational speed of the blades 32a.
- a control to completely stop the rotation of the blades 32a is not included in the deceleration control.
- the present embodiment has been explained with the assumption that such an acceleration is carried out while the normal control is being performed. In the present embodiment, because only the normal control and the deceleration control are performed while the winding of the spun yarn 10 is being performed, the normal control and the deceleration control are performed alternately (in other words, the deceleration control is performed after the normal control, and the normal control is performed after the deceleration control again). Because the main blower 38 is always operated as mentioned above, the main blower 38 is continuously operated while one change between the deceleration control and the normal control is being performed.
- the section blower controlling section 39 removes the deposited rejection material 81 by switching the control between the normal control and the deceleration control according to an amount of the rejection material 81 deposited on the filter member 33. A specific explanation is given below.
- the section blower controlling section 39 determines the amount of the rejection material 81 deposited on the filter member 33 based on a detection value indicative of the pressure detected by the pressure detecting section 35. Specifically, the section blower controlling section 39 judges whether the detection value obtained in the pressure detecting section 35 is higher than a predetermined threshold (S101 of FIG. 7 ).
- the section blower controlling section 39 Upon judging that the detection value obtained in the pressure detecting section 35 is higher than the predetermined threshold, the section blower controlling section 39 checks whether the other section blowers 32 are under the deceleration control (S102). Upon checking that none of the other section blowers 32 is under the deceleration control, the section blower controlling section 39 turns off an electric power supply to the corresponding section blower driving section 32b (that is, stops supply of the electric power to the corresponding section blower driving section 32b) (S103, start of the deceleration control).
- a load on the main blower 38 increases when one section blower 32 is under the deceleration control. Accordingly, when the deceleration control is simultaneously performed in a plurality of the section blowers 32, the rejection material 81 may not be removed from the filter member 33. Accordingly, when the other section blowers 32 are under the deceleration control, the section blower controlling section 39 starts the deceleration control in the next section blower 32 at a timing at which the deceleration control in all the other section blowers 32 is completed (in other words, at a timing at which none of all the section blowers 32 is under the deceleration control) (the process in above-mentioned S102).
- the section blower controlling section 39 counts an elapsed time from the start of the deceleration control.
- the section blower controlling section 39 judges whether the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined time (S104).
- the section blower controlling section 39 turns on the electric power supply to the corresponding section blower driving section 32b (that is, restarts the supply of the electric power to the corresponding section blower driving section 32b), (S105, end of the deceleration control).
- S104 start of the deceleration control.
- the predetermined time is set shorter than the time necessary for the rotation of the blades 32a of the section blower 32 to stop. Accordingly, the blades 32a can be prevented from completely stopping. As a result, because the suction force of the section blower 32 does not become zero, the load on the main blower 38 can be reduced.
- the pressure detecting section 35 is arranged in a region that is inside the suction pipe 91. In this region, the suction current 82 of at least the section blower 32 acts.
- the rejection material 81 deposits on the filter member 33, as shown in FIG. 5 , the mesh of the filter member 33 is blocked by the rejection material 81.
- the suction current 82 generated by the section blower 32 it is difficult for the suction current 82 generated by the section blower 32 to flow in the section duct 31. Accordingly, the negative pressure inside the section duct 31 and inside the suction pipe 91 decreases. An decrease of the negative pressure means a change of the pressure in the positive direction.
- the section blower controlling section 39 judges whether the negative pressure detected by the pressure detecting section 35 is lower than a predetermined threshold. Upon judging that the negative pressure detected by the pressure detecting section 35 is lower than the predetermined threshold, the section blower controlling section 39 performs the deceleration control.
- the pressure detecting section 35 is arranged in one of the plurality of the suction pipes 91; however, it is allowable to arrange the pressure detecting section 35 in each of the plurality of the suction pipes 91.
- the pressure detecting section 35 is arranged between the filter member 33 and the section blower 32. Moreover, the pressure detecting section 35 can be arranged in the section duct 31, the suction pipe 91, and the like. The number and the installation locations of the pressure detecting sections 35 can be different in each of the sections. The pressure detecting section 35 may also be omitted in a certain section.
- the pressure detecting section 35 can be arranged in an exhaust channel arranged downstream of the swirling current generating chamber of the spinning device 9. That is, the pressure detecting section 35 can be arranged upstream of the suction pipe 91.
- a second variation of the present embodiment is explained below while referring to FIG. 9 .
- the timing of starting the deceleration control is determined based on a detection result obtained in the pressure detecting section 35.
- the deceleration control is performed at a preset schedule.
- FIG. 9 An example of such a schedule is shown in FIG. 9 .
- the spinning frame 1 has ten sections, and one deceleration control is performed in each of the sections for five seconds and the deceleration control is repeated after one hour while changing the sections.
- the schedule is set so that the timing of performing the deceleration control in each of the sections is different.
- the control performed by the section blower controlling section 39 can be simplified by determining the start timing of the deceleration control with the method explained in the second variation.
- the schedule of the deceleration control can be set based on desired values input by an operator by using a not-shown setting section and the like, or can be set as default in the spinning frame 1. In the schedule of the deceleration control, it is allowable to set different number of times and / or duration from the number of times and / or the duration mentioned above.
- the spinning frame 1 includes the spinning units 2, the section ducts 31, the section blowers 32, the filter members 33, the main duct 37, the main blower 38, and the section blower controlling section 39.
- Each of the plurality of the section ducts 31 is arranged for at least one spinning unit 2.
- the rejection material 81 generated in the spinning unit 2 flows through the corresponding section duct 31.
- the rejection material 81 generated in a certain spinning unit 2 flows through the corresponding section duct 31.
- the section blower 32 generates the suction current 82 that sucks the rejection material 81 in the section duct 31.
- the filter member 33 is arranged between the section duct 31 and the section blower 32.
- the main duct 37 is connected to a plurality of the section ducts 31.
- the rejection material 81 flows through the section duct 31 to the main duct 37.
- the main blower 38 generates the suction current 83 in the main duct 37 to move the rejection material 81.
- the section blower controlling section 39 performs the deceleration control of temporarily reducing the rotational speed of the blades 32a while maintaining the rotating state of the blades 32a.
- the suction force in the section duct 31 can be reduced by performing the deceleration control of reducing the rotational speed of the blades 32a of the section blower 32. While this deceleration control is being performed, the rejection material 81 deposited on the filter member 33 can be removed easily by using the suction current 83 generated by the main blower 38. Moreover, the load on the main blower 38 can be suppressed because the rotation of the blades 32a of the section blower 32 is not completely stopped.
- the section blower controlling section 39 of the spinning frame 1 can perform the normal control of rotating the blades 32a of the section blower 32 in the predetermined speed range.
- the deceleration control is started after completion of the normal control.
- the section blower controlling section 39 can send the rejection material 81, which is deposited by performing the normal control, to the main duct 37 by performing the deceleration control.
- the section blower controlling section 39 can recover the rotational speed of the blades 32a, which was reduced during the deceleration control, to the predetermined speed range for the normal control.
- the section blower 32 of the spinning frame 1 includes the section blower driving section 32b that generates a power to rotate the blades 32a.
- the section blower controlling section 39 performs the deceleration control by turning off an electric power of the section blower driving section 32b.
- the section blower controlling section 39 of the spinning frame 1 turns on the electric power of the section blower driving section 32b (that is, restarts the supply of the electric power to the section blower driving section 32b) before the rotation of the blades 32a of the section blower 32 stops.
- Operation of the main blower 38 is continued while the section blower controlling section 39 of the spinning frame 1 is performing the deceleration control.
- the rejection material 81 deposited on the filter member 33 can be removed surely by the suction current 83 generated by the main blower 38.
- the spinning frame 1 includes the pressure detecting section 35 that detects the negative pressure in the region in which the suction current 82 generated by the section blower 32 acts (specifically, the region in the exhaust duct 34 between the filter member 33 and the section blower 32).
- the section blower controlling section 39 starts the deceleration control.
- the deceleration control can be started at an appropriate timing.
- the spinning unit 2 of the spinning frame 1 winds the spun yarn 10 during at least the period in which the deceleration control is being performed in the corresponding section blower 32.
- the spinning frame 1 can be operated effectively as the spun yarn 10 can be wound while the deceleration control is being performed.
- the section blower controlling section 39 performs a control to turn off the electric power supply to the section blower driving section 32b for a predetermined time and then turns on the electric power supply after performing the deceleration control to return to the normal control; however, the turning on / off of the electric power supply can be repeated while the deceleration control is being performed.
- the deceleration control can be performed by reducing a rotational speed of the section blower driving section 32b to a set value (a target value).
- the rotational speed of the blades 32a of the section blower 32 is reduced continuously; however, the rotational speed can be reduced once and then the blades 32a can be rotated at a substantially constant rotational speed (that is, at a rotational speed that is lower than the rotational speed for the normal control). Moreover, it is allowable to reduce the rotational speed of the blades 32a in steps or along a curve instead of linearly reducing the rotational speed as shown in FIG. 4 . As long as the rotational speed of the blades 32a for the deceleration control is lower than the rotational speed for the normal control, the rotational speed of the blades 32a for the deceleration control can be set to a desired speed other than zero.
- an arrangement is made so that the deceleration control is not performed simultaneously in a plurality of the section blowers 32. That is, the deceleration control in one of the section blowers 32 is started after a state in which the normal control is performed in all the section blowers 32.

A
spinning frame 1 as a yarn winding machine shown inFIG. 1 includes a large number of spinning units (winding units) 2 arranged side-by-side, ayarn joining cart 3, ablower box 4, and amotor box 5. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , each of thespinning units 2 includes, sequentially arranged from upstream to downstream, adrafting device 7, aspinning device 9, a fly-waste removing section 30, ayarn accumulating device 12, and awinding device 13. The terms "upstream" and "downstream" in the explanation ofFIGS. 1 and2 refer to upstream and downstream, respectively, in a running (transportation) direction of asliver 15, afiber bundle 8, and aspun yarn 10 during spinning. - The
drafting device 7 is arranged near an upper end of aframe 6 of thespinning frame 1. Thedrafting device 7 includes four roller pairs of a back roller pair 16, a third roller pair 17, a middle roller pair 19, and a front roller pair 20 sequentially from upstream. Anapron belt 18 is stretched over each of the rollers of the middle roller pair 19. Thedrafting device 7 drafts thesliver 15 supplied from a not-shown sliver case until thefiber bundle 8 attains a predetermined thickness. Thefiber bundle 8 drafted by thedrafting device 7 is supplied to thespinning device 9. - The
spinning device 9 includes a swirling current generating chamber (not-shown) through which thefiber bundle 8 can be passed. Thespinning device 9 generates a swirling current in the swirling current generating chamber by jetting compressed air from not-shown nozzles inside of the swirling current generating chamber. Thespinning device 9 generates thespun yarn 10 by applying twists to thefiber bundle 8 by using the swirling current. - In the
spinning device 9, fibers (fly-waste) that could not be twisted into thespun yarn 10 in the spinning are generated. The fly-waste removing section 30 includessuction pipes 91,section ducts 31, and amain duct 37. The fly-waste is transported through thesuction pipes 91, thesection ducts 31, and themain duct 37 of the fly-waste removing section 30 to a not-shown accumulation chamber (a cotton accumulation box). The accumulation chamber is connected to an end of themain duct 37. The fly-waste that flows through themain duct 37 is accumulated in the accumulation chamber. With this arrangement, because the fly-waste does not stay in the swirling current generating chamber, generation of the swirling current is not interfered. A detailed configuration of the fly-waste removing section 30 will be explained later. - The
yarn accumulating device 12 is arranged downstream of thespinning device 9. As shown inFIG. 2 , theyarn accumulating device 12 includes ayarn accumulating roller 21 and a motor 25 that rotationally drives theyarn accumulating roller 21. - The
yarn accumulating roller 21 temporarily accumulates thespun yarn 10 by winding a certain amount of thespun yarn 10 on an outer peripheral surface thereof. Thespun yarn 10 is pulled from thespinning device 9 and transported to the downstream side at a predetermined speed by causing theyarn accumulating roller 21 to rotate at a predetermined rotational speed with thespun yarn 10 wound on the outer peripheral surface thereof. Because the spunyarn 10 can be temporarily accumulated on the outer peripheral surface of theyarn accumulating roller 21, theyarn accumulating device 12 can function as a kind of buffer. The buffering function of theyarn accumulating device 12 avoids troubles (for example, slackening and the like of the spun yarn 10) caused by a mismatch in a spinning speed of thespinning device 9 and a winding speed (the speed of the spunyarn 10 being wound into a package 45) due to some reason. - An
upstream guide 23 is arranged little upstream of theyarn accumulating roller 21. Theupstream guide 23 guides the spunyarn 10 to the outer peripheral surface of theyarn accumulating roller 21. - A
yarn clearer 52 is arranged between the spinningdevice 9 and theyarn accumulating device 12. The spunyarn 10 generated in thespinning device 9 passes theyarn clearer 52 before it is wound on theyarn accumulating device 12. Theyarn clearer 52 monitors a thickness of the running spunyarn 10. Upon detecting a yarn defect in the spunyarn 10, theyarn clearer 52 transmits a yarn-defect detection signal to a not-shown unit controller. - Upon receiving the yarn-defect detection signal from the
yarn clearer 52, the unit controller cuts the spunyarn 10 by stopping driving of thespinning device 9, and stops winding and the like by the windingdevice 13. The unit controller sends a control signal to theyarn joining cart 3 to cause theyarn joining cart 3 to travel to thespinning unit 2. After completion of yarn joining by theyarn joining cart 3, the unit controller drives thespinning device 9 again to cause the windingdevice 13 to restart the winding. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and2 , theyarn joining cart 3 includes ayarn joining device 43, asuction pipe 44, and asuction mouth 46. When a yarn breakage or a yarn discontinuation occurs in acertain spinning unit 2, theyarn joining cart 3 travels on arail 41 and stops at a work position corresponding to thatspinning unit 2. Thesuction pipe 44 swings upward about a shaft to catch a spunyarn 10 from thespinning device 9, and then swings downward about the shaft to guide the spunyarn 10 to theyarn joining device 43. Thesuction mouth 46 swings downward about a shaft to catch a spunyarn 10 from thepackage 45, and then swings upward about the shaft to guide the spunyarn 10 to theyarn joining device 43. Theyarn joining device 43 joins the spunyarns 10 guided thereto. - The winding
device 13 includes acradle arm 71, a windingdrum 72, and atraversing device 75. Thecradle arm 71 is supported so as to be pivotable around asupport shaft 70. Thecradle arm 71 rotatably supports abobbin 48 on which the spunyarn 10 is to be wound. The windingdrum 72 rotates in a state of being in contact with an outer peripheral surface of thebobbin 48 or thepackage 45. The traversingdevice 75 includes a traversingguide 76 that guides the spunyarn 10. The windingdevice 13 drives the windingdrum 72 with a not-shown electric motor while causing the traversingguide 76 to perform a reciprocating movement with a not-shown driving member. As a result, the spunyarn 10 is wound into thepackage 45 while traversing the spunyarn 10. - A configuration of the fly-
waste removing section 30 is explained below while referring toFIG. 3 . The terms "upstream" and "downstream" in the explanation of the fly-waste removing section 30 refer to upstream and downstream, respectively, in a transportation direction (that is, a direction in which a suction current flows) of the rejection material. - The fly-
waste removing section 30 includes, as shown inFIG. 3 , thesection ducts 31, section blowers (section suction devices) 32,filter members 33, pressure detecting sections 35 (negative pressure detecting sections), themain duct 37, and a main blower (a main suction device) 38 (SeeFIG. 1 ). Thesection blower 32 and themain blower 38 can be a suction device other than a blower. - In the
spinning frame 1 according to the present embodiment, thesuction pipe 91 shown inFIG. 2 is provided for each of thespinning units 2. Thesuction pipe 91 connects thespinning unit 2 to thesection duct 31. In the present embodiment, an upstream end of thesuction pipe 91 is connected to the spinning device 9 (specifically, to a not-shown exhaust chamber formed downstream of the swirling current generating chamber) of thespinning unit 2. As shown inFIG. 3 , thesuction pipes 91 of a predetermined number (20 in the present embodiment) of thespinning units 2 are connected to onesection duct 31. In the present embodiment, because onesuction pipe 91 is arranged perspinning unit 2, 20suction pipes 91 are connected to onesection duct 31. Onesection duct 31 is arranged for the predetermined number of the spinning units 2 (in the following explanation, the group of the predetermined number of thespinning units 2 will be referred to as a section). The number of thespinning units 2 can be the same or can be different in different sections. Accordingly, the number of thesuction pipes 91 and the number of thespinning units 2 connected to onesection duct 31 can be the same or can be different indifferent section ducts 31. Eachsection duct 31 is connected to themain duct 37 and to anexhaust duct 34 in the downstream side thereof. Accordingly, a suction current generated by themain blower 38 also acts inside thesection duct 31. - The
section blower 32 is arranged near thefilter member 33 but inside theexhaust duct 34. Thesection blower 32 hasblades 32a that generate a suction current by rotating and a section blower driving section (a section driving section) 32b that drives theblades 32a. The sectionblower driving section 32b is an electric motor and it is controlled by a section blower controlling section (a controlling section) 39. One sectionblower controlling section 39 can be arranged in a controlling device that controls theentire spinning frame 1, or can be arranged in each section. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , thefilter member 33 is arranged at a connecting part of thesection duct 31 and theexhaust duct 34. Thefilter member 33 is a net. The mesh of the net of thefilter member 33 is set such thatrejection material 81 cannot but air (a later-explained suction current 82) can pass through it. - The
pressure detecting section 35 is arranged in a region between thefilter member 33 and thesection blower 32 but inside theexhaust duct 34. Thepressure detecting section 35 detects the pressure (the negative pressure) in this region. At least the suction current 82 generated by thesection blower 32 acts in this region. Thepressure detecting section 35 outputs a pressure detection signal to the sectionblower controlling section 39. - The
section blower 32 sucks air from thesection duct 31 via thefilter member 33 thereby generating the suction current 82 inside thesection duct 31, inside thesuction pipe 91, and the like. The suction current 82 is used mainly to move therejection material 81, which is generated in thespinning device 9, via thesuction pipe 91 to a downstream end of thesection duct 31. - The suction current 82 that passes through the
filter member 33 is exhausted to the outside via anoutlet 34a of theexhaust duct 34. The remaining suction current 82 along with therejection material 81 flows into themain duct 37 via anopening 36 formed between thesection duct 31 and themain duct 37. That is, in a state in which both themain blower 38 and thesection blower 32 are being driven, a part of the suction current 82 in thesection duct 31 flows toward thesection blower 32 while the remaining part of the suction current 82 in thesection duct 31 flows toward themain duct 37. In the present embodiment, thesection duct 31 and themain duct 37 are directly connected to each other. Theopening 36 is arranged in a connecting part of thesection duct 31 and themain duct 37. Theopening 36 is arranged in a downstream end of thesection duct 31. Thefilter member 33 is arranged also in the downstream end of thesection duct 31. In the present embodiment, a member to open and close (a shutter and the like) theopening 36 is not provided. Accordingly, because of a suction current 83 flowing in themain duct 37, the fly-waste moves into themain duct 37 from thesection duct 31 via theopening 36. - The
main blower 38 is arranged near one end of themain duct 37 but inside the blower box 4 (seeFIG. 1 ). Themain blower 38 generates a negative pressure downstream of themain duct 37 thereby causing the suction current 83 to flow inside themain duct 37. Themain blower 38 is always operated. That is, blades of themain blower 38 are always rotated during the winding. The rotation of themain blower 38 is controlled by the section blower controlling section (the controlling section) 39. Alternatively, a main blower controlling section can be provided separately from the sectionblower controlling section 39, and the rotation of the main blower can be controlled by this main blower controlling section. Therejection material 81 is taken by this suction current 83 to the not-shown accumulation chamber (the cotton accumulation box) arranged at the one end of themain duct 37. - In the present embodiment, the fly-
waste removing section 30 is configured so that a flow rate of the suction current 82 exhausted from theexhaust duct 34 is higher than a flow rate of the suction current 82 introduced into themain duct 37. As a result, a power consumption of themain blower 38 can be reduced because the flow rate of the suction current 83 sucked by themain blower 38 can be set low. However, the flow rate of the suction current 82 exhausted from theexhaust duct 34 can also be set lower than the flow rate of the suction current 82 introduced into themain duct 37. - A method to remove the
rejection material 81 deposited on thefilter member 33 is explained below with reference toFIGS. 4 to 7 . - A curve labeled "rotational speed" in
FIG. 4 shows an example of time variation of the rotational speed of theblades 32a of thesection blower 32. As shown inFIG. 4 , the sectionblower controlling section 39 performs a normal control and a deceleration control. - The normal control is a control in which the
blades 32a are rotated at a substantially constant rotational speed (within a predetermined speed range). The sectionblower controlling section 39 performs the normal control not only when the spunyarn 10 is being wound but also when the winding of the spunyarn 10 is interrupted during the yarn joining and the like. In the present embodiment, the "predetermined speed range" is a speed range of the rotational speed, in the normal control, after an increase from the rotational speed at the time of ending of the deceleration control. In the example shown inFIG. 4 , the "predetermined speed range" is the speed, represented by the horizontal line of the curve, that is higher than the speed for the deceleration control. The "predetermined speed range" can be a constant speed as shown inFIG. 4 , or can be varied within a predetermined range so that the average speed is equal to the speed shown inFIG. 4 . - The deceleration control is a control to maintain the rotation of the
blades 32a while temporarily reducing the rotational speed of theblades 32a. A control to completely stop the rotation of theblades 32a is not included in the deceleration control. When returning to the normal control after the deceleration control, it is necessary to accelerate theblades 32a. The present embodiment has been explained with the assumption that such an acceleration is carried out while the normal control is being performed. In the present embodiment, because only the normal control and the deceleration control are performed while the winding of the spunyarn 10 is being performed, the normal control and the deceleration control are performed alternately (in other words, the deceleration control is performed after the normal control, and the normal control is performed after the deceleration control again). Because themain blower 38 is always operated as mentioned above, themain blower 38 is continuously operated while one change between the deceleration control and the normal control is being performed. - The section
blower controlling section 39 removes the depositedrejection material 81 by switching the control between the normal control and the deceleration control according to an amount of therejection material 81 deposited on thefilter member 33. A specific explanation is given below. - When the
rejection material 81 is deposited on thefilter member 33, as shown inFIG. 5 , the mesh of thefilter member 33 is blocked by therejection material 81. As a result, it is difficult for the suction current 82 generated by thesection blower 32 to flow in thesection duct 31. On the other hand, because it is easy for the suction current 82 to flow in theexhaust duct 34, the negative pressure in theexhaust duct 34 increases. Accordingly, the negative pressure detected by thepressure detecting section 35 increases as the amount of therejection material 81 deposited on thefilter member 33 increases. A curve labeled "pressure" inFIG. 4 shows that the pressure detected by thepressure detecting section 35 increases with passage of time. An increase of the negative pressure means a change of the pressure in the negative direction. - The section
blower controlling section 39 determines the amount of therejection material 81 deposited on thefilter member 33 based on a detection value indicative of the pressure detected by thepressure detecting section 35. Specifically, the sectionblower controlling section 39 judges whether the detection value obtained in thepressure detecting section 35 is higher than a predetermined threshold (S101 ofFIG. 7 ). - Upon judging that the detection value obtained in the
pressure detecting section 35 is higher than the predetermined threshold, the sectionblower controlling section 39 checks whether theother section blowers 32 are under the deceleration control (S102). Upon checking that none of theother section blowers 32 is under the deceleration control, the sectionblower controlling section 39 turns off an electric power supply to the corresponding sectionblower driving section 32b (that is, stops supply of the electric power to the corresponding sectionblower driving section 32b) (S103, start of the deceleration control). - When the electric power supply to the section
blower driving section 32b is turned off, as shown inFIG. 4 , the rotational speed of theblades 32a decreases. Therefore, the suction current 82 acting on therejection material 81 deposited on thefilter member 33 becomes weak. Accordingly, as shown inFIG. 5 , therejection material 81 is moved into themain duct 37 by the action of the suction current 83 generated by themain blower 38. Thus, therejection material 81 deposited on thefilter member 33 can be removed by performing the deceleration control. - A load on the
main blower 38 increases when onesection blower 32 is under the deceleration control. Accordingly, when the deceleration control is simultaneously performed in a plurality of thesection blowers 32, therejection material 81 may not be removed from thefilter member 33. Accordingly, when theother section blowers 32 are under the deceleration control, the sectionblower controlling section 39 starts the deceleration control in thenext section blower 32 at a timing at which the deceleration control in all theother section blowers 32 is completed (in other words, at a timing at which none of all thesection blowers 32 is under the deceleration control) (the process in above-mentioned S102). - The section
blower controlling section 39 counts an elapsed time from the start of the deceleration control. The sectionblower controlling section 39 judges whether the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined time (S104). At a timing of judging that the elapsed time exceeds the predetermined time, the sectionblower controlling section 39 turns on the electric power supply to the corresponding sectionblower driving section 32b (that is, restarts the supply of the electric power to the corresponding sectionblower driving section 32b), (S105, end of the deceleration control). As a result, as shown inFIG. 4 , the rotational speed of theblades 32a of thesection blower 32 increases and reaches the rotational speed for the normal control. - The predetermined time is set shorter than the time necessary for the rotation of the
blades 32a of thesection blower 32 to stop. Accordingly, theblades 32a can be prevented from completely stopping. As a result, because the suction force of thesection blower 32 does not become zero, the load on themain blower 38 can be reduced. - Referring now to
FIG. 8 , a first variation of the present embodiment is explained below. In the first variation, thepressure detecting section 35 is arranged in a region that is inside thesuction pipe 91. In this region, the suction current 82 of at least thesection blower 32 acts. When therejection material 81 deposits on thefilter member 33, as shown inFIG. 5 , the mesh of thefilter member 33 is blocked by therejection material 81. As a result, it is difficult for the suction current 82 generated by thesection blower 32 to flow in thesection duct 31. Accordingly, the negative pressure inside thesection duct 31 and inside thesuction pipe 91 decreases. An decrease of the negative pressure means a change of the pressure in the positive direction. - The section
blower controlling section 39 according to this variation judges whether the negative pressure detected by thepressure detecting section 35 is lower than a predetermined threshold. Upon judging that the negative pressure detected by thepressure detecting section 35 is lower than the predetermined threshold, the sectionblower controlling section 39 performs the deceleration control. - The negative pressure in a region inside the fly-
waste removing section 30 and nearer to thespinning unit 2 than thefilter member 33 decreases with deposition of therejection material 81. Accordingly, it is allowable to arrange thepressure detecting section 35 at a point at which the suction current acts in thespinning unit 2. In the present variation, thepressure detecting section 35 is arranged in one of the plurality of thesuction pipes 91; however, it is allowable to arrange thepressure detecting section 35 in each of the plurality of thesuction pipes 91. - The
pressure detecting section 35 is arranged between thefilter member 33 and thesection blower 32. Moreover, thepressure detecting section 35 can be arranged in thesection duct 31, thesuction pipe 91, and the like. The number and the installation locations of thepressure detecting sections 35 can be different in each of the sections. Thepressure detecting section 35 may also be omitted in a certain section. - It is allowable to arrange the
pressure detecting section 35 in thespinning unit 2. Specifically, thepressure detecting section 35 can be arranged in an exhaust channel arranged downstream of the swirling current generating chamber of thespinning device 9. That is, thepressure detecting section 35 can be arranged upstream of thesuction pipe 91. - A second variation of the present embodiment is explained below while referring to
FIG. 9 . In the present embodiment and the first variation of the present embodiment, the timing of starting the deceleration control is determined based on a detection result obtained in thepressure detecting section 35. In contrast, in the second variation, the deceleration control is performed at a preset schedule. - An example of such a schedule is shown in
FIG. 9 . According to the schedule shown inFIG. 9 , thespinning frame 1 has ten sections, and one deceleration control is performed in each of the sections for five seconds and the deceleration control is repeated after one hour while changing the sections. The schedule is set so that the timing of performing the deceleration control in each of the sections is different. The control performed by the sectionblower controlling section 39 can be simplified by determining the start timing of the deceleration control with the method explained in the second variation. - The schedule of the deceleration control can be set based on desired values input by an operator by using a not-shown setting section and the like, or can be set as default in the
spinning frame 1. In the schedule of the deceleration control, it is allowable to set different number of times and / or duration from the number of times and / or the duration mentioned above. - As explained above, the
spinning frame 1 includes thespinning units 2, thesection ducts 31, thesection blowers 32, thefilter members 33, themain duct 37, themain blower 38, and the sectionblower controlling section 39. Each of the plurality of thesection ducts 31 is arranged for at least onespinning unit 2. Therejection material 81 generated in thespinning unit 2 flows through the correspondingsection duct 31. Therejection material 81 generated in acertain spinning unit 2 flows through the correspondingsection duct 31. Thesection blower 32 generates the suction current 82 that sucks therejection material 81 in thesection duct 31. Thefilter member 33 is arranged between thesection duct 31 and thesection blower 32. Themain duct 37 is connected to a plurality of thesection ducts 31. Therejection material 81 flows through thesection duct 31 to themain duct 37. Themain blower 38 generates the suction current 83 in themain duct 37 to move therejection material 81. When themain blower 38 is generating the suction current 83, the sectionblower controlling section 39 performs the deceleration control of temporarily reducing the rotational speed of theblades 32a while maintaining the rotating state of theblades 32a. - As a result, the suction force in the
section duct 31 can be reduced by performing the deceleration control of reducing the rotational speed of theblades 32a of thesection blower 32. While this deceleration control is being performed, therejection material 81 deposited on thefilter member 33 can be removed easily by using the suction current 83 generated by themain blower 38. Moreover, the load on themain blower 38 can be suppressed because the rotation of theblades 32a of thesection blower 32 is not completely stopped. - The section
blower controlling section 39 of thespinning frame 1 can perform the normal control of rotating theblades 32a of thesection blower 32 in the predetermined speed range. The deceleration control is started after completion of the normal control. - The section
blower controlling section 39 can send therejection material 81, which is deposited by performing the normal control, to themain duct 37 by performing the deceleration control. - The section
blower controlling section 39 of thespinning frame 1, after completion of the deceleration control, increases the rotational speed of theblades 32a of thesection blower 32 so that the rotational speed falls in the predetermined speed range for the normal control. - As a result, the section
blower controlling section 39 can recover the rotational speed of theblades 32a, which was reduced during the deceleration control, to the predetermined speed range for the normal control. - The
section blower 32 of thespinning frame 1 includes the sectionblower driving section 32b that generates a power to rotate theblades 32a. The sectionblower controlling section 39 performs the deceleration control by turning off an electric power of the sectionblower driving section 32b. - As a result, the deceleration control of the rotational speed of the
blades 32a of thesection blower 32 can be performed easily. - The section
blower controlling section 39 of thespinning frame 1 turns on the electric power of the sectionblower driving section 32b (that is, restarts the supply of the electric power to the sectionblower driving section 32b) before the rotation of theblades 32a of thesection blower 32 stops. - As a result, complete stopping of the
blades 32a of thesection blower 32 can be prevented by a simple control. - Operation of the
main blower 38 is continued while the sectionblower controlling section 39 of thespinning frame 1 is performing the deceleration control. - As a result, the
rejection material 81 deposited on thefilter member 33 can be removed surely by the suction current 83 generated by themain blower 38. - The
spinning frame 1 includes thepressure detecting section 35 that detects the negative pressure in the region in which the suction current 82 generated by thesection blower 32 acts (specifically, the region in theexhaust duct 34 between thefilter member 33 and the section blower 32). When the negative pressure detected by thepressure detecting section 35 falls out of a predetermined range (that is, when the pressure is higher than the predetermined threshold), the sectionblower controlling section 39 starts the deceleration control. - Accordingly, because there is a correlation between the amount of the
rejection material 81 deposited on thefilter member 33 and the intensity of the suction current 82 generated by thesection blower 32, the deceleration control can be started at an appropriate timing. - The
spinning unit 2 of thespinning frame 1 winds the spunyarn 10 during at least the period in which the deceleration control is being performed in thecorresponding section blower 32. - As a result, the
spinning frame 1 can be operated effectively as the spunyarn 10 can be wound while the deceleration control is being performed. - Exemplary embodiments and variations of the present invention are explained above. The configuration explained above can, however, be modified as explained below.
- In the above embodiments, the section
blower controlling section 39 performs a control to turn off the electric power supply to the sectionblower driving section 32b for a predetermined time and then turns on the electric power supply after performing the deceleration control to return to the normal control; however, the turning on / off of the electric power supply can be repeated while the deceleration control is being performed. Moreover, the deceleration control can be performed by reducing a rotational speed of the sectionblower driving section 32b to a set value (a target value). Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the rotational speed of theblades 32a of thesection blower 32 is reduced continuously; however, the rotational speed can be reduced once and then theblades 32a can be rotated at a substantially constant rotational speed (that is, at a rotational speed that is lower than the rotational speed for the normal control). Moreover, it is allowable to reduce the rotational speed of theblades 32a in steps or along a curve instead of linearly reducing the rotational speed as shown inFIG. 4 . As long as the rotational speed of theblades 32a for the deceleration control is lower than the rotational speed for the normal control, the rotational speed of theblades 32a for the deceleration control can be set to a desired speed other than zero. - In the above embodiments, an arrangement is made so that the deceleration control is not performed simultaneously in a plurality of the
section blowers 32. That is, the deceleration control in one of thesection blowers 32 is started after a state in which the normal control is performed in all thesection blowers 32. However, it is allowable to perform the deceleration control simultaneously in a plurality of thesection blowers 32 by determining whether to start the deceleration control for each of the sections and the like. - In the above embodiments, a timing of ending the deceleration control (that is, the timing of turning on the electric power supply to the section
blower driving section 32b) is determined based on the elapsed time. Alternatively, the timing of ending the deceleration control can be determined based on the negative pressure detected by the pressure detecting section 35 (that is, based on the amount of therejection material 81 deposited on the filter member 33). - The number of the
spinning units 2 connected to onesection duct 31 is not limited to 20. That is, any number of thespinning units 2 between 1 and 20, or 21 or more can be connected to onesection duct 31. - The location and the orientation of the
filter member 33 are not particularly limited. For example, it is allowable to arrange thefilter member 33 in an inclined manner, like in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.2012-132112 opening 36 as one goes downstream. - In addition to connecting the
suction pipe 91 to thesection duct 31, a suction pipe through which fly-waste stuck to a drafting roller of thedrafting device 7 is transported after sucking can be connected to thesection duct 31. In thespinning unit 2, a suction port that sucks the yarn waste and the like can be arranged downstream of thespinning device 9. Moreover, a suction pipe having such a suction port can be connected to thesection duct 31. In addition, in a spinning frame that includes one yarn joining device for each of thespinning units 2, a pipe that sucks and transports the yarn waste generated during the yarn joining and the like can be connected to thesection duct 31. - In the
spinning unit 2, theyarn accumulating device 12 pulls the spunyarn 10 from thespinning device 9; however, the invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, in the spinning unit, the spunyarn 10 can be pulled from thespinning device 9 by using a delivery roller and a nip roller, thereafter, the spunyarn 10 can be accumulated by using theyarn accumulating device 12 or a slack tube provided downstream. When a configuration in which the spunyarn 10 is pulled from thespinning device 9 by using the delivery roller and the nip roller is employed, theyarn accumulating device 12 can be omitted. - The application of the present invention is not limited to the spinning frame explained above. That is, the present invention can be applied, for example, to an open-end spinning frame, an automatic winder, a twisting frame, a doubling machine, and the like. When applying the present invention to, for example, the automatic winder, the present invention can be applied to a configuration for removing the yarn waste occurring during the yarn joining.
- A yarn winding machine according to one aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of winding units, a section duct, a section suction device, a filter member, a main duct, and a main suction device, and a controlling section. Rejection material generated in at least one of the winding units flows through the section duct. The section suction device has a rotating blade and generates a suction current in the section duct for sucking the rejection material from the winding unit. The filter member is arranged between the section duct and the section suction device. The main duct is connected to the section duct and the rejection material from the section duct flows through it. The main suction device generates a suction current in the main duct for moving the rejection material from the section duct. The controlling section performs, when the main suction device is generating the suction current, a deceleration control of temporarily reducing a rotational speed of the blade while maintaining the rotating state of the blade.
- With the above configuration, the suction force in the section duct can be reduced by performing the deceleration control of reducing the rotational speed of the blade of the section suction device. While this deceleration control is being performed, the rejection material deposited on the filter member can be removed easily by using the suction current generated by the main suction device. Moreover, the load on the main suction device can be reduced because the rotation of the blade of the section suction device is not completely stopped.

- With the above configuration, work for collection of the rejection material can be performed in a mass in one place, for example, in the accumulation chamber arranged at an end of the machine. That is, it is not necessary to perform the work for collection in every section.
- It is preferable that the controlling section maintains a rotating state of a blade of the main suction device during a yarn winding operation.
- With the above configuration, the section suction device can be downsized.
- It is preferable to arrange an opening in a connecting part between the main duct and the section duct allowing passage of the rejection material.
- With the above configuration, the rejection material in the section duct can be moved to the main duct through the opening by the action of the suction current in the main duct.
- It is preferable to arrange the opening in a downstream end of the section duct.
- With the above configuration, the rejection material can be moved to the main duct smoothly via the opening.
- In the above yarn winding machine, it is preferable that the controlling section is capable of performing a normal control of rotating the blade of the section suction device in a predetermined speed range, and the controlling section starts the deceleration control after completion of the normal control.
- With the above configuration, the controlling section can send the rejection material, which is deposited by performing the normal control, to the main duct by performing the deceleration control.
- In the above yarn winding machine, it is preferable that the controlling section increases, after completion of the deceleration control, the rotational speed of the blade of the section suction device until the rotational speed falls in the predetermined speed range for the normal control.

- It is preferable that the above yarn winding machine includes a pressure detecting section that detects a pressure ( a negative pressure) in at least a region in which the suction current generated by the section suction device acts, and in which the controlling section starts the deceleration control when the pressure detected by the pressure detecting section falls outside of a predetermined range.

- In the above yarn winding machine, it is preferable that the pressure detecting section is arranged between the filter member and the section suction device.
- When an excessive amount of the rejection material is deposited on the filter member, the effect of the suction current of the section suction device becomes blunt.

Therefore, by detecting the pressure in this region, the deceleration control can be started according to the amount of the rejection material deposited on the filter member.
- In the above yarn winding machine, it is preferable to arrange the pressure detecting section at least one among in the winding unit, in the section duct, and in between the winding unit and the section duct.
- When an excessive amount of the rejection material is deposited on the filter member, the effect of the suction current of the section suction device becomes blunt.
