Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pot spinning method and a pot spinning machine.
  • a pot spinning method using a cylindrical pot is well known as a spinning method.
  • a pot spinning method can be broadly divided into three steps. The first step is for drawing out a yarn material to a predetermined thickness. The second step is for forming a cake by winding the yarn drawn out in the first step around the inner wall of a pot. The third step is for rewinding the yarn forming the cake around a bobbin from the inner wall of the pot.
  • the pot is rotated at a predetermined rotation frequency and the yarn drawn out in the first step is guided into the pot through a yarn guide.
  • the yarn guided into the pot is discharged from one end of the yarn guide and pressed against the inner wall of the pot by centrifugal force accompanying rotation of the pot. At this time, the yarn discharged from the yarn guide is wound around the inner wall of the pot while being twisted by the rotation of the pot.
  • the cake is formed on the inner wall of the pot by moving one end of the yarn guide to an opening side of the pot while causing the yarn guide to reciprocate in a central axis direction of the pot.
  • the yarn is cut. Yarn cutting is performed by cutting the yarn on an upstream side of the yarn guide in a yarn feed direction.
  • the string yarn When string yarn is present in the space inside the pot in this manner, the string yarn may contact the outer peripheral surface of the yarn guide, for example, so as to be wound around the yarn guide together with the other yarn.
  • the string yarn may contact the outer peripheral surface of the bobbin so that rewinding of the yarn onto the bobbin starts earlier than envisaged. In both cases, the yarn cannot be wound appropriately onto the bobbin, and as a result, a rewinding defect occurs.
  • Patent Document 1 Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. S29-8226 . describes a pot spinning machine in which a pair of yarn-guiding aprons are provided on a downstream side of a pair of front rollers constituting a drafting device so that tip ends of the pair of aprons can be disposed inside a pot.
  • the cut yarn can be guided into the pot while remaining nipped by the pair of aprons.
  • the distance from the yarn end to the pot inner wall is short.
  • the yarn end can be wound around the inner wall of the pot while suppressing the formation of string yarn.
  • the present invention has been devised to solve the problems described above, and an object thereof is to provide a pot spinning method and a pot spinning machine with which the occurrence of rewinding defects due to the formation of string yarn can be suppressed at low cost.
  • the present invention is a pot spinning method including a cake-forming step of forming a cake by rotating a pot in a state where a yarn guide is inserted into the pot and moving the yarn guide in a central axis direction of the pot so that yarn discharged from one end of the yarn guide is wound around an inner wall of the pot, and a rewinding step of rewinding the yarn forming the cake onto a bobbin from the inner wall of the pot by causing the bobbin to advance into the pot, wherein string yarn present in a space inside the pot away from the inner wall of the pot is eliminated either during or after formation of the cake by pressing the string yarn in the central axis direction of the pot using a pressing surface of a pressing member.

Yarn cutting is performed under the control of the control unit 51. More specifically, the control unit 51 controls the driving implemented by the drafting drive unit 52 so that rotation of both the back roller pair 15 and the middle roller pair 16 is stopped while the front roller pair 17 continue to rotate. Accordingly, the yarn 18 is forcibly cut on the downstream side of the middle roller pair 16. As a result, the cake 28 is formed on the inner wall 22 of the pot 12 in the shape shown in FIG. 1 .

  • the string yarn 33 is formed by yarn cutting, the string yarn 33 is pressed by the pressing member 24 and thereby eliminated as the yarn guide 11 descends from the Pm position to the Pn position. The reason for this is as follows.
  • centrifugal force accompanying the rotation of the pot 12 acts in a direction heading away from the rotational center C of the pot 12. Therefore, before the apex 33a of the string yarn 33 reaches the rotational center C of the pot 12, as shown by a dot-dash line in FIG. 14 , the centrifugal force acts on the string yarn 33 in an upward direction in FIG. 14 , but when the apex 33a of the string yarn 33 reaches the rotational center C of the pot 12, as shown by a dot-dot-dash line in FIG. 14 , the centrifugal force acts on the string yarn 33 in a downward direction in FIG. 14 .

  • Yarn cutting is performed intentionally by the control unit 51 at the stage where the yarn 18 is wound around the inner wall 22 of the pot 12 in a predetermined amount set in advance, or in other words when formation of the cake 28 is complete.
  • Yarn breakage is a phenomenon whereby the yarn 18 breaks for one of various reasons before being wound around the inner wall 22 of the pot 12 in the predetermined amount, or in other words midway through formation of the cake 28.
  • the yarn guide 11 When yarn breakage occurs midway through formation of the cake 28, the yarn guide 11 has not yet descended to the Pm position at the point where the yarn breakage occurs . Therefore, the yarn guide 11 continues to displace downward by one fixed displacement step amount at a time even after the string yarn 33 has been formed by the yarn breakage. Hence, when the string yarn 33 is formed by yarn breakage, the pressing surface 24a of the pressing member 24 contacts the formed string yarn 33 as the yarn guide 11 descends from the Pm position to the Pn position and proceeds to press the string yarn 33 downward. As a result, the string yarn 33 can be eliminated by the pressing member 24 even when formed midway through formation of the cake 28.
  • the vicinity of the apex 33a of the string yarn 33 may slip out from under the pressing surface 24a when the pressing member 24 attempts to press the string yarn 33.
  • the pressing member 24 contacts the string yarn 33 when the yarn guide 11 is moved upward during the rewinding step S3.
  • the tapered surface 24b is formed on the pressing member 24, the vicinity of the apex 33a of the string yarn 33 slides down while contacting the tapered surface 24b. As a result, the pressing member 24 can be moved upward without becoming caught excessively on the string yarn 33.
  • This embodiment of the present invention employs a configuration in which the pressing member 24 is provided on the lower end 11a of the yarn guide 11 and either during or after formation of the cake 28, the string yarn 33 present in the space inside the pot 12 away from the inner wall 22 of the pot 12 is pressed downward and thereby eliminated by the pressing surface 24a of the pressing member 24.
  • a situation in which the string yarn 33 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the yarn guide 11 or the outer peripheral surface of the bobbin 25 can be avoided without employing a complicated, large-scale configuration such as the pair of aprons described in Patent Document 1.
  • the occurrence of a rewinding defect caused by the formation of the string yarn 33 can be suppressed at low cost.
  • the pressing surface 24a of the pressing member 24 is formed in a circular shape when seen from the central axis direction of the pot 12. Therefore, when the string yarn 33 is pressed by the pressing member 24, the string yarn 33 can be supported by a peripheral edge of the pressing surface 24a so that the string yarn 33, which is rotated by the rotation of the pot 12, moves smoothly regardless of the orientation in which the string yarn 33 is formed in the circumferential direction of the pot 12.
  • the pressing member 24 is provided on the yarn guide 11, and the string yarn 33 is pressed by the pressing surface 24a using the operation for moving the yarn guide 11 during formation of the cake 28.
  • the string yarn 33 can be eliminated with substantially no reduction in the productivity of the pot spinning.
  • the pressing surface 24a of the pressing member 24 is a parallel plane that is parallel to an orthogonal direction to the central axis of the pot 12, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
  • the pressing surface 24a may be formed in any form as long as the apex 33a of the string yarn 33 can be moved in the direction approaching the rotational center C of the pot 12 when the string yarn 33 is pressed in the central axis direction of the pot 12 by the pressing member 24.
  • the pressing surface 24a of the pressing member 24 may be a recessed surface having a recess on the upper side thereof.
  • the pressing surface 24a of the pressing member 24 is circular when seen from the central axis direction of the pot 12, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the pressing surface 24a may be polygonal rather than circular, for example.
  • the pressing member 24 is provided on the lower end 11a of the yarn guide 11, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and a pressing member may be provided on the upper end of the bobbin 25, for example. Alternatively, a pressing member may be provided on both the yarn guide 11 and the bobbin 25. Further, a pressing member may be provided on an elevating mechanism, not shown in the figures, separately to the yarn guide 11 and the bobbin 25.
  • the pressing member when a pressing member is provided on the aforesaid elevating mechanism, the pressing member must be operated by the elevating mechanism separately to the operations to move the yarn guide 11 and the bobbin 25.
  • the pressing member 24 is provided on the yarn guide 11, as described above, the string yarn 33 can be eliminated by pressing the string yarn 33 with the pressing surface 24a using the operation for moving the yarn guide 11 during formation of the cake 28.
  • the string yarn 33 can be eliminated by pressing the string yarn 33 with the pressing surface using the operation for moving the bobbin 25 when the bobbin 25 is caused to advance into the pot 12.
  • the string yarn 33 when a pressing member is provided on at least one of the yarn guide 11 and the bobbin 25, the string yarn 33 can be eliminated with substantially no reduction in the productivity of the pot spinning, in contrast to a case where a pressing member is provided on the elevating mechanism.
  • a pot spinning method includes a cake-forming step of forming a cake by rotating a pot in a state where a yarn guide is inserted into the pot and moving the yarn guide in a central axis direction of the pot so that yarn discharged from a lower end of the yarn guide is wound around an inner wall of the pot, and a rewinding step of rewinding the yarn forming the cake onto a bobbin from the inner wall of the pot by causing the bobbin to advance into the pot, wherein string yarn present in a space inside the pot away from the inner wall of the pot is eliminated either during or after formation of the cake by pressing the string yarn in the central axis direction of the pot using a pressing surface of a pressing member.
