Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a cleaning device for a drafting roller.
  • a drafting device provided with a drafting roller that drafts a fiber band has been known. On an outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller of such a drafting device, fibers of the fiber band may adhere . Because of this, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-101797 , a cleaning device that removes fibers that adhered on the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller is described, for example.
  • GB1584938 discloses a cleaning blade for rollers of spinning machines, wherein the angle between the cleaning blade and an upstream portion of the tangent line of the roller is an obtuse angle.
  • FR1389348 discloses a cleaning device for drafting rollers, wherein the angle between the cleaning blade and an upstream portion of the tangent line of the drafting roller is an obtuse angle.
  • an object of the present disclosure is to provide a cleaning device for a drafting roller which is capable of removing fibers adhering on the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller more reliably.
  • the present disclosure is about a cleaning device for a drafting roller including a scraper extending along a width direction of the drafting roller and configured to come into contact with an outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller; and the scraper is provided with, at an end portion on an upstream side in a rotational direction of the drafting roller, a scraper edge portion configured to come into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller; and an angle being formed by a tangent-line upstream portion that is on a tangent line of the drafting roller passing a contact point with the scraper edge portion and extends from the contact point toward the upstream side in the rotational direction of the drafting roller, and by an upstream-side outer surface that is on an outer surface of the scraper edge portion and is a surface facing the upstream side in the rotational direction of the drafting roller, when viewed along an axial direction of the drafting roller, is an obtuse angle.
  • the scraper edge portion is in a state of scraping off the fibers adhering on the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller.
  • the scraper edge portion is restrained from escaping toward a downstream side in the rotational direction of the drafting roller, and it is possible to remove the fibers adhering on the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller more reliably.
  • the angle being formed by the tangent-line upstream portion and the upstream-side outer surface may be greater than 90° but less than or equal to 135° when viewed along the axial direction of the drafting roller.
  • the angle being formed by the tangent-line upstream portion and the upstream-side outer surface is increased, there is a need to make the scraper edge portion thin.
  • the angle being formed by the tangent-line upstream portion and the upstream-side outer surface is made to be greater than 90° but less than or equal to 135°, it is possible to remove the fibers adhering on the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller more reliably while ensuring the thickness of the scraper edge portion and keeping the strength thereof.
  • the scraper further includes a scraper main-unit portion on which the scraper edge portion is provided and facing the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller, and a projecting portion provided on a surface facing the drafting roller in the scraper main-unit portion.
  • the cleaning device further includes a pressing unit configured to press the scraper main-unit portion toward the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller, and the projecting portion may be provided in a region sandwiched between a pressing area, in which the pressing unit presses the scraper main-unit portion, and the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller. In the region pressed by the pressing unit, abrasion is likely to be promoted. However, because the projecting portion is provided in the region sandwiched between the pressing area and the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller, it is possible to further restrain the scraper main-unit portion from wearing out.
  • the scraper main-unit portion may be provided with a stopper portion projecting toward the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller, on at least either one of end portions thereof in the width direction of the drafting roller, and a distance between a distal end portion of the stopper portion and the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller may be narrower than a distance between a surface pressed by the pressing unit in the scraper main-unit portion and the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller.
  • the scraper edge portion and the like wear out and a whole of the scraper comes close to the outer circumferential surface side of the drafting roller, the distal end of the stopper portion comes into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller.
  • the stopper portion is provided on the end portion of the scraper main-unit portion, an operator can visually recognize the stopper portion easily.
  • the operator can understand, by visually recognizing the distance between the distal end portion of the stopper portion and the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller, a state of abrasion of the scraper easily. Accordingly, the operator can easily understand the time to replace the scraper.
  • the distance between the distal end portion of the stopper portion and the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller is narrower than the distance between the surface pressed by the pressing unit in the scraper main-unit portion and the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller.
  • the drafting roller may be provided with, on the outer circumferential surface thereof, a drafting surface on which a plurality of grooves extending in a direction intersecting with the rotational direction are provided and a smooth surface having a surface smoother than the drafting surface; the drafting surface and the smooth surface may be provided at locations different from each other in the width direction of the drafting roller and be extending over an entire area in a circumferential direction of the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller; the scraper edge portion may come into contact with the drafting surface; and the stopper portion may be projecting toward the smooth surface.
  • the stopper portion comes into contact with the smooth surface, the abrasion of the stopper portion is reduced as compared with when the stopper portion comes into contact with the drafting surface. Furthermore, because the stopper portion comes into contact with the smoothsurface, the scraper is restrained from further nearing the drafting surface. Accordingly, the scraper main-unit portion is restrained from wearing out and having holes and the like, and the pressing unit is restrained from being brought into contact directly with the drafting surface.
  • the projecting portion may be provided at a location avoiding, in the width direction of the drafting roller, an area in which a sliver that wound around the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller passes. In this case, because the fibers adhering on the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller are never to be pressed by the projecting portion, it is possible to prevent the projecting portion from interfering with the removal of fibers by the scraper edge portion.
  • the cleaning device may further include a pressing unit configured to press the scraper toward the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller, and the pressing unit may press the scraper such that one end portion in the width direction of the drafting roller in the scraper and the other end portion thereof are pressed with different force (at strengths different from each other) .
  • the bias in abrasion of the scraper may occur. Even when such bias in abrasion occurs, by providing the pressing unit in the above-described configuration, it is possible to reduce the bias in abrasion of the scraper and prolong the usable period of the scraper.
  • the drafting roller may be, out of a top roller and a bottom roller vertically arranged in juxtaposition, the bottom roller, and the scraper edge portion may come into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller at a location on a lower side than a horizontal line that passes an axis of the drafting roller when viewed along the axial direction of the drafting roller. In this case, it is possible to efficiently drop the fibers that are removed from the drafting roller, to the outside (lower side) of the scraper.
  • the scraper edge portion and others are to be located on the more downstream side in the rotational direction of the drafting roller than a region at which the scraper edge portion comes into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller.
  • the scraper edge portion can be brought into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller such that the tangent-line upstream portion and the upstream-side outer surface form an obtuse angle.
  • the scraper may be provided with a positioning claw portion configured to come into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller and to make positioning of the scraper, at an end portion on the downstream side in the rotational direction of the drafting roller, and the positioning claw portion may be provided at a location avoiding, in the width direction of the drafting roller, the area in which the sliver that wound around the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller passes.
  • the positioning claw portion because the fibers adhering on the outer circumferential surface of the drafting roller are never to be pressed by the positioning claw portion, it is possible to prevent the positioning claw portion from interfering with the removal of fibers by the scraper edge portion.
