  • the control device including the arithmetic unit that calculated the productivity may transmit the information on the productivity to the relevant display device (for example, mobile terminal) and control the relevant display device so as to be able to display the productivity.
  • the display of productivity is not limited to displaying in numerical values.
  • the productivity may be presented to the user, by changing the color of the clearing-condition setting screen. More specifically, in displaying the clearing limits after change in the clearing-condition setting screen, if the predicted value of the productivity is lower than a predetermined certain value (if the productivity is inferior to a threshold value), the background color of the clearing-condition setting screen may be displayed in red, or the clearing limits themselves may be displayed in red.
  • character messages such as "productivity deterioration” and “productivity improvement” may be displayed on the display unit.
  • the productivity may be displayed at the same time on the display unit identical to the display unit that displays the clearing conditions, may be displayed on the identical display unit by shifting the time, or may be displayed on a separate display unit at the same time or with a time lag.
  • the productivity corresponding to the clearing conditions after change may be displayed on the first display unit 45 of the machine control device 40.
  • the productivity the production number of packages P per unit time, and the winding time are displayed.
  • at least one of the items listed below may be displayed as the productivity.
  • the calculated productivity may be any one of four kinds of package production quantity of the number of the packages P produced per unit time, the weight of the packages P produced per unit time, the length of the yarn Y wound as the packages P per unit time, and the weight of the yarn Y wound as the packages P per unit time.
  • the respective time may be calculated in units of lot.
  • the productivity is not limited to be calculated and displayed for each machine of the automatic winder 1, and it may be calculated and displayed in units useful for the user such as in units of a certain group, in units of lot, and in units of shift.
  • the yarn wound body that the yarn feeder 11 supports is not limited to the spinning bobbin B, and it may be a yarn feeding package.
  • the clearer upper control device 50 may transmit, as the clearing data, a clearing condition name together with the yarn defect data to the machine control device 40 or have no need to transmit it.
  • the clearer upper control device 50 when the machine control device 40 calculates the current productivity, may have no need to transmit the number of removals of yarn defects as the clearing data.
  • the machine control device 40 can receive the actual values of the number of removals of yarn defects from the respective winding units 10.
  • the clearing data may be directly input by the user by manually operating the first operating unit 46 of the machine control device 40. That is, the machine control device 40 and the clearer upper control device 50 may be configured to be unable to perform communication.
  • a sensor that acquires information by which the quality of the spinning bobbin B can be determined is installed in the ring spinning frame 2. Then, in this configuration, the yarn Y of the spinning bobbin B that is determined to be defective based on the information acquired by the spinning sensor may be ejected without winding it by the winding unit 10 of the automatic winder 1.
  • a single spinning sensor may be provided in a set of the spinning units 20, or one or more of the spinning sensors may be provided for the spinning units 20, and the spinning sensor may be configured such that the information concerning the speed (for example, the rotational speed of traveller and the rotational speed of spinning bobbin) of building the spinning bobbin in each spinning unit 20, the state of each device or component (for example, installation failure, and wear-and-tear of the device or the component), or surrounding environment (for example, temperature and humidity) is detectable.
  • the speed for example, the rotational speed of traveller and the rotational speed of spinning bobbin
  • the state of each device or component for example, installation failure, and wear-and-tear of the device or the component
  • surrounding environment for example, temperature and humidity
  • each winding unit 10 of the automatic winder 1 at a stage before starting to wind the yarn Y of the spinning bobbin B that is determined to be defective (hereinafter referred to as defective bobbin) based on the acquired information, the defective bobbin can be ejected.
  • the position and the mechanism to eject the defective bobbin can be designed in any desired manner.
  • the ejection mechanism that ejects the defective bobbin may be provided in the spinning frame 2, may be provided in the bobbin transportation device 3, or may be provided in the yarn feeder 11 of the respective winding units 10 of the automatic winder 1.
  • the ejection mechanism may be formed as a dedicated transportation guidepath for defective bobbins, or an existing transportation guidepath (for example, transportation guidepath for empty bobbins) provided in the automatic winder 1 may be used, for example.
  • a determination unit (controller) that determines the quality of the spinning bobbin B based on the information acquired by the spinning sensor may be owned by each spinning sensor itself, may be the control device of the spinning frame 2, may be a spinning-sensor upper control device that integrally manages the plurality of spinning sensors, maybe the machine control device 40, or may be a unit controller of each winding unit 10.
  • a writer provided in the bobbin transportation device 3 writes defect information to the tray of the relevant defective bobbin.
  • a reader provided in the relevant winding unit 10 reads the defect information written by the writer. Then, the winding unit 10 may eject the defective bobbin to the transportation guidepath for empty bobbins without winding the yarn Y from the defective bobbin.
  • the bobbin transportation device 3 may transport the defective bobbin by branching to a transportation guidepath separate from the transportation guidepath for empty bobbins and eject it, without supplying the defective bobbin to the winding unit 10 (without supplying it to the automatic winder 1).
  • the productivity display control device of the present disclosure can be applied to yarn winding machines other than the automatic winder 1 such as an pneumatic spinning frame.
  • the pneumatic spinning frame includes a plurality of spinning units (winding units), and one or more yarn joining carriers.
  • Each spinning unit includes a yarn feeder that supplies the yarn, a winding device that winds the yarn supplied from the yarn feeder to form the package, and a clearer that detects yarn defects between the yarn feeder and the winding device and determines whether to remove the yarn defects based on the set clearing conditions.
  • the yarn feeder is a drafting device that drafts slivers and a spinning device that spins the drafted slivers by air flow to form the yarn.
  • the yarn joining carrier is provided so as to be able to travel along the juxtaposed direction of the plurality of spinning units and stops in front of a certain spinning unit and performs yarn joining.
  • the productivity is calculated by adding the number of yarn joining carriers provided on a single spinning frame. Because the number of spinning units that can perform yarn joining at a time is limited by the number of yarn joining carriers, the number of yarn joining carriers affects the productivity of the pneumatic spinning frame.
