Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for operating a textile machine with a large number of similar work stations, the same yarn being produced with the help of the work stations during normal operation or being rewound from a delivery bobbin to a receiver bobbin, and normal operation at the individual work stations after a stop of the Textile machine initiated by a service operation or interrupted at certain time intervals by a service operation in the form of a piecing process, a tube changing process or a yarn joining process.
- a textile machine with a large number of similar workstations for producing yarn or for rewinding yarn from a delivery spool to a receiver spool is proposed, with lines for transporting energy resources being provided, and with the workstations having devices for performing a piecing process, a tube changing process and / or of a yarn joining process.
- Generic textile machines can be used as spinning machines (for example as a spinning machine, as in the EP 3 168 179 A1 is described), which are used to produce a yarn from a supplied fiber structure, or be designed as winding machines, the latter being designed to rewind yarn from delivery bobbins to receiver bobbins and preferably to remove yarn defects from the yarn.
- the spinning machines can be, for example, ring, rotor or air-jet spinning machines. The normal operation of these textile machines is interrupted again and again.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to improve the method for operating the textile machine in such a way that the productivity of the textile machine is increased.
- the object is achieved by a method for operating a textile machine and a textile machine with the features of the independent claims.
- a method for operating a textile machine with a large number of similar work stations With the help of the work stations, yarn is produced during normal operation of the work stations or yarn is rewound from a delivery bobbin to a receiver bobbin.
- the textile machine is a spinning machine. It is irrelevant for the present invention whether it is a ring, a rotor, an air-jet spinning machine or some other spinning machine. In the event of rewinding from a supply reel to a receiver reel, the textile machine is then designed as a winding machine.
- normal operation is initiated by a service operation.
- this service operation is, for example, a piecing process.
- normal operation can also be interrupted at certain time intervals by a service operation, for example a piecing process, a tube changing process or a yarn joining process.
- These service operations can be carried out both by devices that are assigned to one or a few work stations, and also by service devices that can be driven to individual work stations.
- the method is preferably carried out in textile machines whose workstations are each equipped individually or in pairs with workstation-specific service devices that are arranged in a stationary manner.
- service devices that can be moved along the workplaces e.g. B. in the form of service robots known in principle in the prior art, are used.
- At least one of the mentioned service operations is divided into several partial sequences. These partial sequences are carried out one after the other, but a pause can be inserted after each or individual partial sequences.
- a pending sub-sequence is carried out independently of the other sub-sequences of the corresponding service operation if the energy resources required to carry out the pending sub-sequence are available. The energy resources required therefore only have to be available for the next partial sequence and not for the entire service operation. So can partial sequences a service operation can also be processed if the required energy resources for the entire service operation are not yet available. In this way, the energy resources of the textile machine are better utilized and the productivity of the textile machine is increased.
- the energy resources required by the upcoming partial sequences exceed the available energy resources. It is then advantageous if the sub-sequence to be carried out next is selected in such a way that the productivity of the textile machine is maximized. For example, yarn joining processes are pending for two workplaces, with the first partial sequence pending at one workstation and the last partial sequence of this service operation pending at the other workstation. If the energy resources are not available for both partial sequences, then the partial sequence for the job at which the last partial sequence is due is carried out first, since this job can then continue with normal operation and productivity is increased.
- the partial sequence that is assigned to the job that works fastest and / or most reliably and / or on is carried out next resumes normal operation in the fastest and / or most reliable manner. For example, if a piecing process is to be carried out for two work stations and the free energy resources are only sufficient for one piecing process, then the piecing process is first carried out at the work station that spins faster and / or more reliably or which experience has shown can be pieced faster and / or more reliably. This increases the productivity of the textile machine.
- the amount of at least one consumed energy resource, one required energy resource and / or one is advantageously available standing energy resource is stored in a memory and is called up by this. It is possible to use a value for each partial sequence of a service operation or - which is more complex, but more precise - to use separately determined values for each job. With the help of this information, it can be calculated quickly and easily in both cases whether or not there are still enough energy resources available for an upcoming partial sequence.
- the amount of at least one consumed energy resource and / or one available energy resource is measured while the textile machine is in operation.
- the resulting measured values are then used to determine the required or available energy resources. In this way, fluctuations in the energy requirement and in particular in the available energy resources can be taken into account and the available energy resources can be used even better.
- the energy resources are taken into account within their natural units of jobs.
- the power supply to a textile machine is usually centrally regulated - in this case the natural units of workplaces would be all workplaces.
- the supply of negative pressure is often implemented separately for each side of the machine.
- the natural unit of jobs is the jobs on one side of the machine.
- the energy resources advantageously include electrical power, compressed air and / or negative pressure, since these are the most frequently required energy resources in textile machines.
- the method presented can also be used for other energy resources without any problems.
- the partial sequences of the piecing process include a thread search process and a workstation run-up process. This division is advantageous for two reasons: on the one hand, it is easily possible to interrupt the piecing process after the thread search process; for holding the thread end that has been found, no or only very small energy resources are generally required. On the other hand, a lot of negative pressure is required for the thread search process, while more electrical power is required for the job start-up process. This division of the partial sequences means that the available energy resources can be optimally used.
- a thread search process a splicing process and a job run-up process.
- a yarn joining process is necessary after a thread break or a cleaner cut, for example.
- a free thread end is first searched for on a partially wound tube, for example with one with negative pressure working suction tube.
- This thread end is then brought together with a freshly spun thread (for spinning machines) or with a thread from the delivery bobbin (for winding machines) and connected in the splicing process.
- the job start-up process follows again so that the job can start normal operation. This division of the partial sequences again enables interruptions between the partial sequences and the partial sequences have different energy requirements, which overall increases the productivity of the textile machine.
- a textile machine is also proposed with a large number of similar work stations for producing yarn or for rewinding yarn from a supply bobbin to a receiving bobbin.
- the textile machine can therefore be a spinning machine or a winding machine.
- the textile machine has lines for transporting energy resources, for example electrical power, negative pressure or compressed air.
- the workstations have devices for performing service operations. These service operations include a piecing process, a tube changing process and / or a yarn joining process.
- the textile machine has a control unit or is in operative connection with a control unit.
- the control unit is designed in such a way that it operates the textile machine according to the method described above.
- the service operations are divided into several partial sequences.
- the control unit then causes a pending partial sequence to be carried out independently of the other partial sequences of the corresponding service operation if the energy resources required for this are available.
- FIG. 1 shows a textile machine 1 according to the invention with a plurality of work stations 2 (similar sections / components of the textile machine 1 are drawn identically and for reasons of clarity only some of the sections / components are usually provided with a reference number).
- Each of these work stations 2 has a device 3 for performing a service operation, for example a piecing process.
- a control unit 5 which, among other things, controls the implementation of the service operations.
- a main power line 6 and two main vacuum lines 7 also extend from the end of the machine 4.
- the main power line 6 is designed centrally for the entire textile machine 1 and branches off into several power lines 8 which supply the devices 3 with electrical power.
- the vacuum main lines 7 are each assigned to one machine half. They branch into several vacuum lines 9, which supply the devices 3 with negative pressure.
- a workstation 2 If a workstation 2 now needs a service operation, it makes a request to the control unit 5.
- the control unit 5 checks whether the energy resources allow an upcoming partial sequence of this service operation to be carried out. In this case, the control unit 5 for the electrical current considers the consumption at all work stations 2 of the textile machine 1. For the consumption of negative pressure - due to the separate distribution of the negative pressure via two main negative pressure lines 7 - on the other hand, only the machine half of the textile machine 1 is considered, which is the Job 2 that requested the service operation is assigned.
- control unit 5 instructs the device 3 to carry out this partial sequence of the service operation.
- Figure 2a shows the consumption of electrical power in a single piecing process. The time is plotted in certain time units on the x-axis. On the y-axis is the consumption of electric power as Proportion of the electrical current available in this spinning machine is applied.
- the piecing process begins with a thread search (FS), which only requires 5% of the available electrical current and lasts five time units.
- the thread search is followed by the start-up (HF) of the spinning station. Starting up requires 40% of the available electrical power and takes three time units. After a total of eight time units, the piecing process is ended and the work station can start normal operation.
- FS thread search
- HF start-up
- Figure 2b shows the to Figure 2a associated consumption of negative pressure.
- the labels are the same as in Figure 2a except that the consumption of negative pressure is plotted on the y-axis as a proportion of the negative pressure available in this spinning machine. How out Figure 2b As can be seen, 30% of the available vacuum is required for the thread search. Starting up the workplace does not require a negative pressure.
- Figures 3a and 3b show the consumption of electrical power or negative pressure of piecing processes at five work stations according to the conventional method.
- the names are the same as in Figures 2a or 2b. It is assumed that all five jobs require a piecing process at zero time.
- the number of piecing processes that can take place simultaneously is limited by the available electrical current. Since a piecing process requires 40% of the available electrical current when starting up, a maximum of two piecing processes can take place at the same time.
- the piecing process is carried out for two work stations.
- the thread search (FS1 and FS2) is followed by start-up (HF1 and HF2) of these jobs. Meanwhile, the three other jobs have to wait.
- the piecing process for the first two work stations has ended after eight time units, the piecing process for the next two work stations begins.
- the piecing process again includes the thread search (FS3 and FS4) and the start-up (HF3 and HF4) of the work stations. Meanwhile, the first two jobs are already working in normal operation and the fifth is still waiting.
- the third and fourth work stations are finished with the piecing process and start normal operation.
- the piecing process can now begin for the fifth job with thread search (FS5) and start-up (HF5). This is completed after a total of 24 time units.
- the available energy resources are not used particularly well in the conventional method.
- interruptions can occur between the individual partial sequences in the method according to the invention.
- the thread search is limited by the available negative pressure and so in this example three work stations can start the thread search (FS1, FS2 and FS3). As soon as the thread search for these three jobs has been completed, the first two jobs can start starting up (HF1 and HF2). For booting up the third There is not enough electricity available at work. However, there are still enough energy resources available so that jobs four and five can start searching for threads (FS4 and FS5).
- Job four can only start with the start-up (HF4) at the time ten, since the thread search was only then completed. At this point in time, job five has also completed the thread search. However, job five must wait to start up (HF5) until job three has finished starting up at eleven and enough electricity is available again. At times 13 and 14, jobs four and five have also completed the start-up.
- the energy resources are used significantly better than with the conventional method.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Textilmaschine mit einer Vielzahl von gleichartigen Arbeitsstellen, wobei mit Hilfe der Arbeitsstellen während eines Normalbetriebs derselben Garn hergestellt oder von einer Lieferspule auf eine Empfängerspule umgespult wird, und wobei der Normalbetrieb an den einzelnen Arbeitsstellen nach einem Stopp der Textilmaschine durch eine Serviceoperation eingeleitet oder in gewissen Zeitabständen durch eine Serviceoperation in Form eines Anspinnvorgangs, eines Hülsenwechselvorgangs oder eines Garnverbindungsvorgangs unterbrochen wird.The present invention relates to a method for operating a textile machine with a large number of similar work stations, the same yarn being produced with the help of the work stations during normal operation or being rewound from a delivery bobbin to a receiver bobbin, and normal operation at the individual work stations after a stop of the Textile machine initiated by a service operation or interrupted at certain time intervals by a service operation in the form of a piecing process, a tube changing process or a yarn joining process.
Ferner wird, in der
Gattungsgemäße Textilmaschinen können als Spinnmaschinen (z.B. als Spinnmaschine, wie sie in der
Die Gründe für solche Unterbrechungen des Normalbetriebs sind vielfältig. Ein Grund ist ein Fadenbruch. Ein anderer ist ein Reinigerschnitt, also das absichtliche Herausschneiden eines Fadenabschnitts, weil dieser zu dick, zu dünn oder zu verschmutzt war oder aus einem anderen Grund nicht den Ansprüchen genügt hat. Ebenfalls kommt es zu einer Unterbrechung des Normalbetriebs, wenn an einer Arbeitsstelle eine volle Hülse gegen eine leere Hülse gewechselt werden muss. Eine Unterbrechung des Normalbetriebs an allen Arbeitsstellen, also ein Stopp der Textilmaschine, kommt beispielsweise bei einem Partiewechsel vor, also wenn die Textilmaschine auf die Produktion eines anderen Fadens (alternative Bezeichnung: Garn) umgestellt wird.There are many reasons for such interruptions in normal operation. One reason is a thread break. Another is a cleaner cut, so that Deliberately cutting out a section of thread because it was too thick, too thin or too dirty or because it did not meet the requirements for another reason. Normal operation is also interrupted if a full tube has to be exchanged for an empty tube at a job. An interruption of normal operation at all workplaces, i.e. a stop of the textile machine, occurs, for example, when a lot is changed, i.e. when the textile machine is switched to the production of a different thread (alternative designation: yarn).
Nach jeder dieser Unterbrechungen ist eine Serviceoperation von Nöten, um den Normalbetrieb wieder herzustellen. Im Allgemeinen benötigen diese Serviceoperationen Energieressourcen, wobei an einer Textilmaschine immer nur begrenzte Energieressourcen zur Verfügung stehen. Damit die benötigten Energieressourcen die zur Verfügung stehenden Energieressourcen nicht überschreiten, wird nur eine gewisse Anzahl an Serviceoperationen gleichzeitig ausgeführt. Darüber hinaus gehende anstehende Serviceoperationen müssen warten, bis eine laufende Serviceoperation beendet ist und hierdurch wieder Kapazität frei wird. Während dieser Wartezeit ist die Produktivität der Textilmaschine vermindert.After each of these interruptions, a service operation is necessary to restore normal operation. In general, these service operations require energy resources, with only limited energy resources being available on a textile machine. So that the required energy resources do not exceed the available energy resources, only a certain number of service operations are carried out at the same time. Any pending service operations that go beyond this must wait until an ongoing service operation has ended and this frees up capacity again. During this waiting time, the productivity of the textile machine is reduced.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es somit, das Verfahren zum Betreiben der Textilmaschine dahingehend zu verbessern, dass die Produktivität der Textilmaschine gesteigert wird.The object of the present invention is therefore to improve the method for operating the textile machine in such a way that the productivity of the textile machine is increased.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Textilmaschine und eine Textilmaschine mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Patentansprüche.The object is achieved by a method for operating a textile machine and a textile machine with the features of the independent claims.
Vorgeschlagen wird ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Textilmaschine mit einer Vielzahl von gleichartigen Arbeitsstellen. Mit Hilfe der Arbeitsstellen wird während eines Normalbetriebs der Arbeitsstellen Garn hergestellt oder Garn von einer Lieferspule auf eine Empfängerspule umgespult. Für den Fall der Herstellung von Garn handelt es sich bei der Textilmaschine also um eine Spinnmaschine. Dabei ist es für die vorliegende Erfindung unerheblich, ob es sich um eine Ring-, eine Rotor-, eine Luftspinnmaschine oder eine sonstige Spinnmaschine handelt. Für den Fall des Umspulens von einer Lieferspule auf eine Empfängerspule ist die Textilmaschine dann als Spulmaschine ausgebildet.A method is proposed for operating a textile machine with a large number of similar work stations. With the help of the work stations, yarn is produced during normal operation of the work stations or yarn is rewound from a delivery bobbin to a receiver bobbin. In the case When it comes to the production of yarn, the textile machine is a spinning machine. It is irrelevant for the present invention whether it is a ring, a rotor, an air-jet spinning machine or some other spinning machine. In the event of rewinding from a supply reel to a receiver reel, the textile machine is then designed as a winding machine.
Nach einem Stopp der Textilmaschine, beispielsweise nach einem Partiewechsel, wird der Normalbetrieb durch eine Serviceoperation eingeleitet. Bei einer Spinnmaschine ist diese Serviceoperation beispielsweise ein Anspinnvorgang. Der Normalbetrieb kann aber auch in gewissen Zeitabständen durch eine Serviceoperation, zum Beispiel einen Anspinnvorgang, einen Hülsenwechselvorgang oder einen Garnverbindungsvorgang, unterbrochen werden. Diese Serviceoperationen können dabei sowohl von Vorrichtungen durchgeführt werden, die einer oder einigen wenigen Arbeitsstellen zugeordnet sind, also auch von Servicevorrichtungen, die zu einzelnen Arbeitsstellen fahrbar sind. Bevorzugt wird das Verfahren jedoch bei Textilmaschinen ausgeführt, deren Arbeitsstellen jeweils einzeln oder paarweise mit arbeitsstelleneigenen Servicevorrichtungen ausgerüstet sind, die ortsfest angeordnet sind. Alternativ oder zusätzlich können selbstverständlich auch entlang der Arbeitsstellen verfahrbare Servicevorrichtungen, z. B. in Form von im Stand der Technik prinzipiell bekannten Servicerobotern, zum Einsatz kommen.After the textile machine has stopped, for example after a lot change, normal operation is initiated by a service operation. In the case of a spinning machine, this service operation is, for example, a piecing process. However, normal operation can also be interrupted at certain time intervals by a service operation, for example a piecing process, a tube changing process or a yarn joining process. These service operations can be carried out both by devices that are assigned to one or a few work stations, and also by service devices that can be driven to individual work stations. However, the method is preferably carried out in textile machines whose workstations are each equipped individually or in pairs with workstation-specific service devices that are arranged in a stationary manner. Alternatively or additionally, of course, service devices that can be moved along the workplaces, e.g. B. in the form of service robots known in principle in the prior art, are used.
Erfindungsgemäß ist zumindest eine der genannten Serviceoperationen in mehrere Teilsequenzen unterteilt. Diese Teilsequenzen werden nacheinander durchgeführt, es kann aber nach jeder oder einzelnen Teilsequenzen eine Pause eingelegt werden. Eine anstehende Teilsequenz wird unabhängig von den anderen Teilsequenzen der entsprechenden Serviceoperation durchgeführt, falls die zur Durchführung der anstehenden Teilsequenz benötigten Energieressourcen zur Verfügung stehen. Die benötigten Energieressourcen müssen also lediglich für die nächste Teilsequenz zur Verfügung stehen und nicht für die gesamte Serviceoperation. So können Teilsequenzen einer Serviceoperation auch schon abgearbeitet werden, wenn die benötigten Energieressourcen für die gesamte Serviceoperation noch nicht zur Verfügung stehen. Damit werden die Energieressourcen der Textilmaschine besser ausgenutzt und somit die Produktivität der Textilmaschine gesteigert.According to the invention, at least one of the mentioned service operations is divided into several partial sequences. These partial sequences are carried out one after the other, but a pause can be inserted after each or individual partial sequences. A pending sub-sequence is carried out independently of the other sub-sequences of the corresponding service operation if the energy resources required to carry out the pending sub-sequence are available. The energy resources required therefore only have to be available for the next partial sequence and not for the entire service operation. So can partial sequences a service operation can also be processed if the required energy resources for the entire service operation are not yet available. In this way, the energy resources of the textile machine are better utilized and the productivity of the textile machine is increased.
Es kann vorkommen, dass die von den anstehenden Teilsequenzen benötigten Energieressourcen die zur Verfügung stehenden Energieressourcen übersteigen. Dann ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Auswahl der als nächstes durchzuführenden Teilsequenz so erfolgt, dass die Produktivität der Textilmaschine maximiert wird. Beispielsweise stehen für zwei Arbeitsstellen Garnverbindungsvorgänge an, wobei bei der einen Arbeitsstelle die erste Teilsequenz und bei der anderen Arbeitsstelle die letzte Teilsequenz dieser Serviceoperation anstehen. Sind die Energieressourcen nicht für beide Teilsequenzen vorhanden, dann wird zunächst die Teilsequenz für die Arbeitsstelle durchgeführt, bei der die letzte Teilsequenz ansteht, da diese Arbeitsstelle sodann gleich mit dem Normalbetrieb fortfahren kann und somit die Produktivität gesteigert ist.It can happen that the energy resources required by the upcoming partial sequences exceed the available energy resources. It is then advantageous if the sub-sequence to be carried out next is selected in such a way that the productivity of the textile machine is maximized. For example, yarn joining processes are pending for two workplaces, with the first partial sequence pending at one workstation and the last partial sequence of this service operation pending at the other workstation. If the energy resources are not available for both partial sequences, then the partial sequence for the job at which the last partial sequence is due is carried out first, since this job can then continue with normal operation and productivity is increased.
Für den Fall, dass die von den anstehenden Teilsequenzen benötigten Energieressourcen die zur Verfügung stehenden Energieressourcen übersteigen, ist es auch vorteilhaft, wenn die Teilsequenz als nächstes durchgeführt wird, die der Arbeitsstelle zugeordnet ist, die am schnellsten und/oder zuverlässigsten arbeitet und/oder am schnellsten und/oder zuverlässigsten den Normalbetrieb wieder aufnimmt. Ist beispielsweise ein Anspinnvorgang für zwei Arbeitsstellen durchzuführen und die freien Energieressourcen reichen nur für einen Anspinnvorgang, dann wird der Anspinnvorgang zuerst bei der Arbeitsstelle durchgeführt, die schneller und/oder zuverlässiger spinnt bzw. die erfahrungsgemäß schneller und/oder zuverlässiger angesponnen werden kann. Dadurch wird die Produktivität der Textilmaschine gesteigert.In the event that the energy resources required by the upcoming partial sequences exceed the available energy resources, it is also advantageous if the partial sequence that is assigned to the job that works fastest and / or most reliably and / or on is carried out next resumes normal operation in the fastest and / or most reliable manner. For example, if a piecing process is to be carried out for two work stations and the free energy resources are only sufficient for one piecing process, then the piecing process is first carried out at the work station that spins faster and / or more reliably or which experience has shown can be pieced faster and / or more reliably. This increases the productivity of the textile machine.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Menge von zumindest einer verbrauchten Energieressource, einer benötigten Energieressource und/oder einer zur Verfügung stehenden Energieressource in einem Speicher abgelegt und wird von diesem abgerufen. Dabei ist es möglich, für jede Teilsequenz einer Serviceoperation einen Wert zu verwenden oder - was zwar aufwändiger, dafür aber genauer ist - für jede Arbeitsstelle separat ermittelte Werte zu verwenden. Mit Hilfe dieser Informationen kann in beiden Fällen schnell und einfach berechnet werden, ob noch genügend Energieressourcen für eine anstehende Teilsequenz zur Verfügung stehen oder nicht.The amount of at least one consumed energy resource, one required energy resource and / or one is advantageously available standing energy resource is stored in a memory and is called up by this. It is possible to use a value for each partial sequence of a service operation or - which is more complex, but more precise - to use separately determined values for each job. With the help of this information, it can be calculated quickly and easily in both cases whether or not there are still enough energy resources available for an upcoming partial sequence.
Es ist auch von Vorteil, wenn die Menge von zumindest einer verbrauchten Energieressource und/oder einer zur Verfügung stehenden Energieressource im laufenden Betrieb der Textilmaschine gemessen wird. Die resultierenden Messwerte werden dann für die Ermittlung der benötigten bzw. der zur Verfügung stehenden Energieressourcen verwendet. So können Schwankungen beim Energiebedarf und insbesondere bei den zur Verfügung stehenden Energieressourcen berücksichtigt und die zur Verfügung stehenden Energieressourcen noch besser ausgenutzt werden.It is also advantageous if the amount of at least one consumed energy resource and / or one available energy resource is measured while the textile machine is in operation. The resulting measured values are then used to determine the required or available energy resources. In this way, fluctuations in the energy requirement and in particular in the available energy resources can be taken into account and the available energy resources can be used even better.
Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Energieressourcen jeweils innerhalb ihrer natürlichen Einheiten von Arbeitsstellen berücksichtigt werden. Beispielsweise ist die Stromversorgung einer Textilmaschine meist zentral geregelt - die natürlichen Einheiten von Arbeitsstellen wären in diesem Fall alle Arbeitsstellen. Dagegen ist die Versorgung mit Unterdruck oft separat pro Maschinenseite verwirklicht. In dem Fall ist die natürliche Einheit von Arbeitsstellen die Arbeitsstellen von jeweils einer Maschinenseite. Durch diese Gliederung werden die Energieressourcen so berücksichtigt, wie sie auch zur Verfügung stehen: so kann eine Arbeitsstelle von einer Maschinenseite nicht auf den Unterdruck von der anderen Maschinenseite zurückgreifen.It is advantageous if the energy resources are taken into account within their natural units of jobs. For example, the power supply to a textile machine is usually centrally regulated - in this case the natural units of workplaces would be all workplaces. In contrast, the supply of negative pressure is often implemented separately for each side of the machine. In this case, the natural unit of jobs is the jobs on one side of the machine. Through this structure, the energy resources are taken into account as they are available: a work station from one side of the machine cannot access the negative pressure from the other side of the machine.
Vorteilhafterweise umfassen die Energieressourcen elektrischen Strom, Druckluft und/oder Unterdruck, da dies die am häufigsten benötigten Energieressourcen bei Textilmaschinen sind. Das vorgestellte Verfahren ist aber auch problemlos für andere Energieressourcen anwendbar.The energy resources advantageously include electrical power, compressed air and / or negative pressure, since these are the most frequently required energy resources in textile machines. However, the method presented can also be used for other energy resources without any problems.
Es ist von Vorteil, wenn die Teilsequenzen des Anspinnvorgangs einen Fadensuchvorgang und einen Arbeitsstellenhochlaufvorgang umfassen. Diese Aufteilung ist aus zwei Gründen vorteilhaft: zum einen ist es leicht möglich, den Anspinnvorgang nach dem Fadensuchvorgang zu unterbrechen; für das Halten des gefundenen Fadenendes werden dabei in der Regel keine oder nur sehr kleine Energieressourcen benötigt. Zum anderen wird für den Fadensuchvorgang vor allem viel Unterdruck benötigt, während für den Arbeitsstellenhochlaufvorgang mehr elektrischer Strom gebraucht wird. Durch diese Aufteilung der Teilsequenzen können also die zur Verfügung stehenden Energieressourcen optimal ausgenutzt werden.It is advantageous if the partial sequences of the piecing process include a thread search process and a workstation run-up process. This division is advantageous for two reasons: on the one hand, it is easily possible to interrupt the piecing process after the thread search process; for holding the thread end that has been found, no or only very small energy resources are generally required. On the other hand, a lot of negative pressure is required for the thread search process, while more electrical power is required for the job start-up process. This division of the partial sequences means that the available energy resources can be optimally used.
Für den Fall eines Hülsenwechselvorgangs ist es von Vorteil, wenn dieser einen Abbremsvorgang, einen Hülsentauschvorgang und einen Arbeitsstellenhochlaufvorgang aufweist. Beim Abbremsvorgang wird eine um ihre Längsachse rotierende Hülse, auf die ein Faden zu einem Kops aufgewickelt wurde, abgebremst und gegebenenfalls zum Stillstand gebracht. Die nur noch langsam oder gar nicht mehr rotierende Hülse wird beim Hülsentauschvorgang dann durch eine leere Hülse ersetzt. Daran schließt sich der Arbeitsstellenhochlaufvorgang an, bei dem die leere Hülse wieder in Rotation versetzt wird und die Arbeitsstelle nach dem Ergreifen des von einer Spinneinheit oder einer Lieferspule kommenden Garns durch die Hülse wieder ihren Normalbetrieb aufnimmt. Auch hier sind zwischen den Teilsequenzen in der Regel problemlos Unterbrechungen möglich und die Teilsequenzen unterscheiden sich wieder durch ihren Energiebedarf.In the case of a tube changing process, it is advantageous if this has a braking process, a tube changing process and a job run-up process. During the braking process, a sleeve rotating around its longitudinal axis, onto which a thread has been wound to form a cop, is braked and, if necessary, brought to a standstill. The sleeve, which only rotates slowly or no longer at all, is then replaced by an empty sleeve when the sleeve is exchanged. This is followed by the workstation run-up process, in which the empty tube is set in rotation again and the workstation resumes normal operation after the tube has gripped the yarn coming from a spinning unit or a delivery bobbin. Here, too, interruptions between the partial sequences are generally possible without any problems and the partial sequences again differ in terms of their energy requirements.
Schließlich ist es für den Fall eines Garnverbindungsvorgangs von Vorteil, wenn dieser einen Fadensuchvorgang, einen Spleißvorgang und einen Arbeitsstellenhochlaufvorgang umfasst. Ein solcher Garnverbindungsvorgang ist beispielsweise nach einem Fadenbruch oder einem Reinigerschnitt von Nöten. Dann wird zunächst im Fadensuchvorgang ein freies Fadenende auf einer teilweise bewickelten Hülse gesucht, beispielsweise mit einem mit Unterdruck arbeitenden Saugröhrchen. Dieses Fadenende wird dann mit einem frisch gesponnenen Faden (bei Spinnmaschinen) bzw. mit einem Faden von der Lieferspule (bei Spulmaschinen) zusammengeführt und im Spleißvorgang verbunden. Schließlich folgt wieder der Arbeitsstellenhochlaufvorgang, damit die Arbeitsstelle ihren Normalbetrieb aufnehmen kann. Diese Aufteilung der Teilsequenzen ermöglicht wieder Unterbrechungen zwischen den Teilsequenzen und die Teilsequenzen haben unterschiedlichen Energiebedarf, was insgesamt die Produktivität der Textilmaschine steigert.Finally, in the case of a yarn joining process, it is advantageous if this comprises a thread search process, a splicing process and a job run-up process. Such a yarn joining process is necessary after a thread break or a cleaner cut, for example. Then, in the thread search process, a free thread end is first searched for on a partially wound tube, for example with one with negative pressure working suction tube. This thread end is then brought together with a freshly spun thread (for spinning machines) or with a thread from the delivery bobbin (for winding machines) and connected in the splicing process. Finally, the job start-up process follows again so that the job can start normal operation. This division of the partial sequences again enables interruptions between the partial sequences and the partial sequences have different energy requirements, which overall increases the productivity of the textile machine.
Das genannte Verfahren wird gemäß der vorangegangenen Beschreibung durchgeführt, wobei die genannten Merkmale einzeln oder in beliebiger Kombination verwirklicht werden können.Said method is carried out in accordance with the preceding description, it being possible for the cited features to be implemented individually or in any combination.
Vorgeschlagen wird ferner eine Textilmaschine mit einer Vielzahl von gleichartigen Arbeitsstellen zum Herstellen von Garn oder zum Umspulen von Garn von einer Lieferspule auf eine Empfängerspule. Es kann sich bei der Textilmaschine also um eine Spinnmaschine oder eine Spulmaschine handeln. Die Textilmaschine weist Leitungen zum Transport von Energieressourcen, beispielsweise elektrischen Strom, Unterdruck oder Druckluft, auf. Außerdem weisen die Arbeitsstellen Vorrichtungen zum Durchführen von Serviceoperationen auf. Zu diesen Serviceoperationen zählen ein Anspinnvorgang, ein Hülsenwechselvorgang und/oder ein Garnverbindungsvorgang.A textile machine is also proposed with a large number of similar work stations for producing yarn or for rewinding yarn from a supply bobbin to a receiving bobbin. The textile machine can therefore be a spinning machine or a winding machine. The textile machine has lines for transporting energy resources, for example electrical power, negative pressure or compressed air. In addition, the workstations have devices for performing service operations. These service operations include a piecing process, a tube changing process and / or a yarn joining process.
Erfindungsgemäß weist die Textilmaschine eine Steuereinheit auf oder steht mit einer Steuereinheit in Wirkverbindung. Die Steuereinheit ist dabei so ausgelegt, dass sie die Textilmaschine gemäß dem oben beschriebenen Verfahren betreibt. Insbesondere sind also die Serviceoperationen in mehrere Teilsequenzen unterteilt. Die Steuereinheit veranlasst dann die Durchführung einer anstehenden Teilsequenz unabhängig von den übrigen Teilsequenzen der entsprechenden Serviceoperation, falls die dazu benötigten Energieressourcen zur Verfügung stehen.According to the invention, the textile machine has a control unit or is in operative connection with a control unit. The control unit is designed in such a way that it operates the textile machine according to the method described above. In particular, the service operations are divided into several partial sequences. The control unit then causes a pending partial sequence to be carried out independently of the other partial sequences of the corresponding service operation if the energy resources required for this are available.

Vom Maschinenende 4 gehen auch eine Stromhauptleitung 6 und zwei Unterdruckhauptleitungen 7 aus. Die Stromhauptleitung 6 ist zentral für die gesamte Textilmaschine 1 ausgelegt und verzweigt sich in mehrere Stromleitungen 8, die die Vorrichtungen 3 mit elektrischem Strom versorgen. Die Unterdruckhauptleitungen 7 sind jeweils einer Maschinenhälfte zugeordnet. Sie verzweigen sich in mehrere Unterdruckleitungen 9, die die Vorrichtungen 3 mit Unterdruck versorgen.A
Benötigt nun eine Arbeitsstelle 2 eine Serviceoperation, so stellt sie eine Anforderung an die Steuereinheit 5. Die Steuereinheit 5 prüft, ob die Energieressourcen die Durchführung einer anstehenden Teilsequenz dieser Serviceoperation erlauben. Dabei betrachtet die Steuereinheit 5 für den elektrischen Strom den anfallenden Verbrauch an allen Arbeitsstellen 2 der Textilmaschine 1. Für den Verbrauch an Unterdruck wird - auf Grund der separaten Verteilung des Unterdrucks über zwei Unterdruckhauptleitungen 7 - hingegen nur die Maschinenhälfte der Textilmaschine 1 betrachtet, der die Arbeitsstelle 2, die die Serviceoperation angefordert hat, zugeordnet ist.If a
Stehen die von der anstehenden Teilsequenz benötigten Energieressourcen zur Verfügung, dann weist die Steuereinheit 5 die Vorrichtung 3 an, diese Teilsequenz der Serviceoperation durchzuführen.If the energy resources required by the upcoming partial sequence are available, then the
In den nun folgenden Figuren wird der Verbrauch von Energieressourcen von Anspinnvorgängen an einer Spinnmaschine gezeigt. Dies soll der Illustration des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens dienen; die gezeigten Werte sind dabei frei gewählt.The following figures show the consumption of energy resources in piecing processes on a spinning machine. This is intended to illustrate the method according to the invention; the values shown are freely selected.
Wie aus
In diesem Beispiel ist beim herkömmlichen Verfahren die Anzahl der Anspinnvorgänge, die gleichzeitig stattfinden können, durch den zur Verfügung stehenden elektrischen Strom begrenzt. Da ein Anspinnvorgang beim Hochfahren 40 % des zur Verfügung stehenden elektrischen Stroms benötigt, können höchstens zwei Anspinnvorgänge gleichzeitig stattfinden.In this example, in the conventional method, the number of piecing processes that can take place simultaneously is limited by the available electrical current. Since a piecing process requires 40% of the available electrical current when starting up, a maximum of two piecing processes can take place at the same time.
Zunächst wird also der Anspinnvorgang für zwei Arbeitsstellen durchgeführt. An die Fadensuche (FS1 und FS2) schließt sich das Hochfahren (HF1 und HF2) dieser Arbeitsstellen an. Währenddessen müssen die drei anderen Arbeitsstellen warten. Ist der Anspinnvorgang für die ersten beiden Arbeitsstellen nach acht Zeiteinheiten beendet, beginnt der Anspinnvorgang für die nächsten beiden Arbeitsstellen. Der Anspinnvorgang umfasst wieder die Fadensuche (FS3 und FS4) und das Hochfahren (HF3 und HF4) der Arbeitsstellen. Währenddessen arbeiten die ersten beiden Arbeitsstellen schon im Normalbetrieb und die fünfte wartet noch. Zur Zeit 16 sind dann auch die dritte und vierte Arbeitsstelle mit dem Anspinnvorgang fertig und nehmen den Normalbetrieb auf. Nun kann für die fünfte Arbeitsstelle der Anspinnvorgang mit Fadensuche (FS5) und Hochfahren (HF5) beginnen. Dies ist nach insgesamt 24 Zeiteinheiten abgeschlossen.First of all, the piecing process is carried out for two work stations. The thread search (FS1 and FS2) is followed by start-up (HF1 and HF2) of these jobs. Meanwhile, the three other jobs have to wait. If the piecing process for the first two work stations has ended after eight time units, the piecing process for the next two work stations begins. The piecing process again includes the thread search (FS3 and FS4) and the start-up (HF3 and HF4) of the work stations. Meanwhile, the first two jobs are already working in normal operation and the fifth is still waiting. At 16 the third and fourth work stations are finished with the piecing process and start normal operation. The piecing process can now begin for the fifth job with thread search (FS5) and start-up (HF5). This is completed after a total of 24 time units.
Wie in
Beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren, das in den
Im Gegensatz zum herkömmlichen Verfahren können beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zwischen den einzelnen Teilsequenzen Unterbrechungen auftreten.In contrast to the conventional method, interruptions can occur between the individual partial sequences in the method according to the invention.
Die Fadensuche ist durch den zur Verfügung stehenden Unterdruck begrenzt und so können in diesem Beispiel drei Arbeitsstellen mit der Fadensuche (FS1, FS2 und FS3) beginnen. Sobald die Fadensuche für diese drei Arbeitsstellen abgeschlossen ist, können die ersten beiden Arbeitsstellen mit dem Hochfahren beginnen (HF1 und HF2). Für das Hochfahren der dritten Arbeitsstelle steht nicht genügend elektrischer Strom zur Verfügung. Es sind aber noch genügend Energieressourcen vorhanden, damit die Arbeitsstellen vier und fünf schon mit der Fadensuche (FS4 und FS5) beginnen können.The thread search is limited by the available negative pressure and so in this example three work stations can start the thread search (FS1, FS2 and FS3). As soon as the thread search for these three jobs has been completed, the first two jobs can start starting up (HF1 and HF2). For booting up the third There is not enough electricity available at work. However, there are still enough energy resources available so that jobs four and five can start searching for threads (FS4 and FS5).
Zur Zeit acht haben die ersten beiden Arbeitsstellen das Hochfahren abgeschlossen und können den Normalbetrieb aufnehmen. Nun sind wieder genügend Energieressourcen frei, dass Arbeitsstelle drei mit dem Hochfahren beginnen kann (HF3).At eight the first two work stations have completed the start-up and can start normal operation. There are now enough energy resources free again for job number three to start up (HF3).
Arbeitsstelle vier kann erst zur Zeit zehn mit dem Hochfahren (HF4) beginnen, da erst dann die Fadensuche abgeschlossen wurde. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt hat auch Arbeitsstelle fünf die Fadensuche abgeschlossen. Arbeitsstelle fünf muss aber mit dem Hochfahren (HF5) warten bis Arbeitsstelle drei zur Zeit elf das Hochfahren abgeschlossen hat und wieder genügend elektrischer Strom zur Verfügung steht. Zur Zeit 13 bzw. 14 haben dann auch Arbeitsstellen vier bzw. fünf das Hochfahren abgeschlossen.Job four can only start with the start-up (HF4) at the time ten, since the thread search was only then completed. At this point in time, job five has also completed the thread search. However, job five must wait to start up (HF5) until job three has finished starting up at eleven and enough electricity is available again. At
Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren werden die Energieressourcen deutlich besser ausgenutzt als mit dem herkömmlichen Verfahren. Die kumulierte Wartezeit der fünf Arbeitsstellen bis zum jeweiligen Normalbetrieb beträgt in diesem Beispiel nur noch 54 (= 8 + 8 + 11 + 13 + 14) Zeiteinheiten, also 25 % weniger als beim herkömmlichen Verfahren. Bei einer noch höheren Anzahl an Arbeitsstellen, die einen Anspinnvorgang benötigen, würde die Ersparnis sogar noch größer ausfallen.With the method according to the invention, the energy resources are used significantly better than with the conventional method. In this example, the cumulative waiting time of the five workplaces until normal operation is only 54 (= 8 + 8 + 11 + 13 + 14) time units, i.e. 25% less than with the conventional method. With an even higher number of jobs that require piecing, the savings would be even greater.
Durch kürzere Wartezeiten können die Arbeitsstellen schneller wieder mit dem Normalbetrieb der Garnherstellung fortfahren und die Produktivität der Spinnmaschine wird erhöht.With shorter waiting times, the workstations can resume normal yarn production more quickly and the productivity of the spinning machine is increased.
Die vorliegende Erfindung ist nicht auf die dargestellten und beschriebenen Beispiele beschränkt und kann im Rahmen der Patentansprüche abgewandelt werden.The present invention is not restricted to the examples shown and described and can be modified within the scope of the patent claims.
