Definitions
- the present invention relates to a draw texturing machine provided with a pin-type twisting unit.
- Patent Literature 1 Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2002-69763 discloses a pin-type twisting unit (pin-twister-type false-twisting device in Patent Literature 1) which twists a yarn running inside a rotating pin (spinner in Patent Literature 1).
- pin-type twisting unit rollers are attached to two rotational shafts, respectively, and a cylindrical pin is retained by magnet while being in contact with the circumferential surfaces of the rollers.
- the rotational shafts is rotationally driven by a motor, the pin in contact with the rollers rotates about the shaft, with the result that the yarn running inside the pin is twisted.
- Patent Literature 2 Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. S50-25839 . recites that the rotation number of a motor which rotationally drives a pin is variable, and the rotation number of the motor is arranged to be small at the start.
- Patent Literature 2 recites a motor in which the rotation number is switchable in stages ( FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 ) and a motor in which the rotation number is changeable in a stepless manner (i.e., continuously) ( FIG. 6 ).
- the motor of Patent Literature 2 in which the rotation number is switchable in stages plural set values are fixed and are not changeable at will. Changes in types and production conditions of a yarn cannot therefore be properly handled, and hence the motor lacks versatility.
- a motor in which the rotation number is changeable in stepless is employed, an operator is required to adjust the rotation number. It is difficult for an inexperienced operator to finely adjust the rotation number, with the result that yarn threading tends to be failed.
- an object of the present invention is to improve versatility and to facilitate yarn threading irrespective of the proficiency of an operator, in a draw texturing machine including a pin-type twisting unit.
- the present invention relates to a draw texturing machine including: a pin-type twisting unit which includes a cylindrical pin retained while being in contact with circumferential surfaces of rollers attached to two rotational shafts, respectively, and which is configured to twist a yarn running inside the pin by rotating the pin by rotationally driving one of the two rotational shafts by a motor; a setting unit which is configured to set, in regard to a rotation number of the pin, set values regarding at least a high rotation number which is a rotation number in yarn production and a low rotation number which is smaller than the high rotation number; and an operation unit which is provided to switch the rotation number of the pin between the high rotation number and the low rotation number.
- the setting unit is provided for setting the set values regarding the high rotation number and the low rotation number
- the rotation number of the pin (motor) can be changed at will by using the setting unit. It is therefore possible to suitably handle changes in types and production conditions of a yarn.
- the rotation number of the pin (motor) is, by the operation unit, switchable between the high rotation number and the low rotation number which are set in advance, fine adjustment of the rotation number by the operator is unnecessary.
- the draw texturing machine has improved versatility, and makes it possible to perform yarn threading irrespective of the proficiency of the operator.
- the present invention is preferably arranged such that acceleration of the pin is settable by using the setting unit.
- the present invention is preferably arranged such that the acceleration of the pin is set at 80,000rpm/s or less.
- occurrence of yarn breakage at the time of acceleration of the pin is suitably restrained when the acceleration of the pin is about 80,000rpm/s or less.
- the present invention is preferably arranged such that the low rotation number is arranged to be equal to or smaller than a half of the high rotation number.
- the low rotation number is arranged to be equal to or smaller than 1/2 of the high rotation number, the number of twists of the yarn in low-speed rotation is small and yarn shaking is restrained, with the result that yarn threading can be suitably performed.
- the present invention is preferably arranged such that, the rotation number of the pin is switched in order from a low rotation number to a high rotation number among rotation numbers corresponding to set values set by the setting unit, each time the operation unit is operated.
- the pin is switched, for example, from the stopped state to the low rotation number and then to the high rotation number, as the operation unit is operated in accordance with the progress of the yarn threading process. It is therefore possible to eliminate mistakes such as erroneous swift acceleration of the pin from the stopped state to the high rotation number.
- the present invention is preferably arranged such that, the rotational direction of at least one of the rotational shafts rotationally driven by the motor is identical with a direction in which the pin is pressed into a gap between the rollers attached to the respective two rotational shafts.
- This arrangement makes it possible to prevent the pin from moving away from the roller attached to the rotational shaft rotationally driven by the motor, with the result that the power of the motor is certainly transmitted to the pin via the roller.
- the rotation number of the pin is therefore finely controllable.
- the draw texturing machine includes: a tension sensor which is provided downstream in a yarn running direction of the pin-type twisting unit and is configured to measure tension of the yarn; and a control unit configured to execute predetermined control based on the tension detected by the tension sensor.
- the tension of the yarn may be rapidly changed and yarn breakage may occur. It is possible to suitably perform the yarn threading process while restraining the yarn breakage, by properly executing the predetermined control based on the tension of the yarn.
- the present invention is preferably arranged such that, in connection with the tension of the yarn, predetermined first tension is set as a set value regarding the low rotation number, and the control unit stops acceleration of the motor when the tension measured by the tension sensor is decreased to the first tension while the pin is accelerating from a stopped state.
- the low rotation number can be set based on the tension of the yarn in place of the rotation number.
- the rotation number when the tension of the yarn is decreased to the first tension is used as the low rotation number. If the first tension is arranged to be sufficiently low, the occurrence of yarn breakage is restrained even if yarn threading to the feed rollers is performed in low-speed rotation and the tension is rapidly increased.
- the draw texturing machine further includes a notification unit which is switchable to a notification state of notifying predetermined information to an operator, the control unit switching the notification unit to the notification state when the tension measured by the tension sensor is decreased to the first tension while the pin is accelerating from the stopped state.
- the operator is able to swiftly perform the yarn threading process.
- the draw texturing machine further includes a notification unit which is switchable to a notification state of notifying predetermined information to an operator, regarding the tension of the yarn, predetermined second tension being set, and the control unit switching the notification unit to the notification state when the tension measured by the tension sensor is decreased to the second tension while the pin is accelerating from the low rotation number.
- the present invention is preferably arranged such that the control unit stops acceleration of the motor when the tension measured by the tension sensor is decreased to the second tension while the pin is accelerating from the low rotation number.
- the rotation number of the motor is maintained at the rotation number when the tension of the yarn is decreased to the second tension, it is possible to perform yarn threading in a state in which the number of twists of the yarn is constant and stable.

- the yarn Y drawn between the first feed rollers 11 and the second feed rollers 16 is twisted by the pin-type twisting unit 15.
- the twist formed by the pin-type twisting unit 15 is propagated to the twist-stopping guide 12 but is not propagated to the upstream in the yarn running direction of the twist-stopping guide 12.
- the yarn Y drawn and twisted in this way is heated by the first heater 13 and are then cooled by the cooler 14 and thermally set.

- FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the pin-type twisting unit 15.
- FIG. 4 shows the pin-type twisting unit 15 in the direction IV in FIG. 3 .
- the pin-type twisting unit 15 is configured to twist the yarn Y running in a pin 41 as the cylindrical pin 41 rotates about the axis. In FIG. 3 , the yarn Y runs upward from below.
- FIG. 4 does not show a guide member 52.
- the pin-type twisting unit 15 includes two rotational shafts 43 and 44 which are rotatably supported by a supporter 42 via unillustrated bearings.
- Two rollers 45 and 46 separated from each other in the axial direction are attached to the rotational shaft 43.
- Two rollers 47 and 48 separated from each other in the axial direction are attached to the rotational shaft 44.
- the roller 45 and the roller 47 are at the same position in the axial direction, and are slightly separated from each other so as not to be in contact with each other, as shown in FIG. 4 .
- the positional relationship between the roller 46 and the roller 48 is identical with the positional relationship between the roller 45 and the roller 47.
- the rotational shaft 43 is rotationally driven about the axis by power transmitted from the motor 54.
- the pin 41 is a cylindrical member extending in the axial direction.
- the yarn Y runs in the pin 41.
- a magnetic portion 41a is formed to oppose later-described magnets 49 and 50.
- a wound portion 41b is internally fixed to extend in the radial direction.
- the yarn Y is wound once on the wound portion 41b. As the pin 41 rotates about the axis, the yarn Y is twisted.
- the magnet 49 is provided between the roller 45 and the roller 46 in the axial direction.
- the magnet 50 is provided between the roller 47 and the roller 48 in the axial direction.
- the magnets 49 and 50 are fixed to the supporter 42 via a bracket 51 (see FIG. 4 ).

- the pin 41 is retained by the magnets 49 and 50 while the pin 41 is sandwiched between the rollers 45 and 47 (46 and 48) and is in contact with the circumferential surfaces of the rollers 45 and 47 (46 and 48).
- the pin 41 is not mechanically fixed to another member, and is retained only by the magnet forces of the magnets 49 and 50 and the friction force with the circumferential surfaces of the rollers 45 to 48.
- a ring-shaped guide member 52 is provided upstream of the pin 41 in the yarn running direction.
- the guide member 52 is fixed to the supporter 42 via an unillustrated bracket.
- a pipe-shaped guide member 53 is provided downstream in the yarn running direction of the pin 41.
- the guide member 53 is directly fixed to the supporter 42.
- the shape and way of fixation of each of the guide members 52 and 53 are not limited to those described above, and may be suitably changed.
- the rotational direction of the rotation shaft 43 rotationally driven by the power transmitted from the motor 54 is preferably identical with a direction in which the pin 41 is pressed into the gap between the rollers 45 and 47 (46 and 48) attached to the respective rotation shafts 43 and 44. This prevents the pin 41 from moving away from the roller 45 (46), and the power of the motor 54 is certainly transmitted to the pin 41 via the roller 45 (46) .
- the twist of the yarn Y is either S twist or Z twist. These two ways are opposite to each other in terms of the direction of twist.
- the direction of twist is switched, the target of the power of the motor 54 is switched from the rotational shaft 43 to the rotational shaft 44.
- the motor 54 may be arranged to rotate positively and negatively, and the rotational direction of the pin 41 may be changed to switch the direction of twist of the yarn Y, by switching the rotational direction of the rotational shafts 43 and 44.
- Set values (related to the low rotation number, the high rotation number, and the acceleration of the pin 41) can be set at will by the operator by using the setting unit 31 (see FIG. 2 ).
- the pin 41 is arranged so that the low rotation number is 160,000rpm, the high rotation number is 800,000rpm, and the acceleration is 10,000 to 15,000rpm/s.
- These set values are suitably changeable by using the setting unit 31.
- Each set value set by the setting unit 31 is input to the control unit 30 and is input to the controller of the motor 54, too.
- the control unit 30 controls the motor 54 with reference to the set values input by the setting unit 31.
- the operation unit 32 (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 ) is provided in the vicinity of the pin-type twisting unit 15 in the main base 5.
- the operation units 32 are lined up in the base longitudinal direction.
- the operation unit 32 of the present embodiment is constituted by a singe button.
- the operation unit 32 may not be the button, and may be constituted by a lever or a dial, for example.
- the operation unit 32 is operated once (i.e., the button is pressed once) when the pin 41 (motor 54) is in a stopped state, the pin 41 (motor 54) accelerates until reaching the low rotation number.
- the pin 41 (motor 54) accelerates until reaching the high rotation number.
- the pin 41 (motor 54) returns to the stopped state.
- FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the steps of the yarn threading process.
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing the transition of the rotation number of the pin 41 of the pin-type twisting units 15.
- FIGs. 7(a) and 7(b) and FIGs. 8(a) and 8(b) are schematic diagrams of the steps of the yarn threading process.
- FIG. 6 shows an example of timings to execute the steps shown in FIG. 5 , and indicates by a dotted line the transition of the tension of the yarn Y.
- the operator threads the yarn Y pulled out from a yarn supply package Q to the pin-type twisting unit 15, and causes the suction unit 25 to suck the yarn Y (step S1, see FIG. 7(a) ).
- the yarn Y runs below the cutter 23 and the first feed rollers 11, and reach the suction unit 25 via the pin-type twisting unit 15 and the tension sensor 24.
- the operator causes the yarn Y to pass through the guide member 52, the pin 41, and the guide member 53 (see FIG. 3 ) in this order and then positions the pin 41 so that the pin 41 is retained by the magnets 49 and 50 and the rollers 45 to 48.
- step S2 the operator operates the operation unit 32 to accelerate the pin 41 from the stopped state until to the low rotation number (step S2). While the pin 41 is accelerating to reach the low rotation number or rotates at the low rotation number, the operator performs yarn threading to the second feed rollers 16 (step S3, see FIG. 7(b) ).
- the drive roller of the second feed rollers 16 is rotationally driven in advance. As the yarn threading is performed so that the yarn Y is sandwiched between the drive roller and the driven roller, the yarn Y is fed to the downstream side in the yarn running direction. (This applies to the yarn threading to the first feed rollers 11 described later.) In other words, after the completion of the step S3, the running yarn Y has been twisted by the pin 41 rotating at the low speed.
- step S4 the operator threads the yarn Y to the twist-stopping guide 12 at the yarn threading position, and moves the twist-stopping guide 12 to the operation position by lifting the unillustrated shifter along the guide rail 22 (step S4, see FIG. 8(a) ).
- the yarn Y is threaded to the first feed rollers 11 in the state in which the drive roller is separated from the driven roller, and is caused to pass through the cutter 23.
- the twist-stopping guide 12 is being lifted to the operation position, the yarn Y is moved to the yarn path passing the first heater 13 and the cooler 14.
- the steps S2 to S4 may not be executed in this order.
- the order of execution of S2 to S4 may be changed, or plural steps may be simultaneously executed.
- step S5 When the steps S2 to S4 are completed, if the yarn Y runs stably without the occurrence of yarn breakage, etc., the operator operates the operation unit 32 to accelerate the pin 41 from the low rotation number to the high rotation number (step S5). Subsequently, the operator performs yarn threading to the first feed rollers 11 (step S6, see FIG. 8(b) ). To be more specific, the yarn Y is gripped by being sandwiched between the drive roller and the driven roller of the first feed rollers 11, to be in a state of being fed.
- the operator therefore performs the yarn threading to the first feed rollers 11 when it is considered that the rotation number of the pin 41 has been sufficiently increased, the number of twists of the yarn Y has been increased, and the tension of the yarn Y has been lowered.
- the operator is able to know whether the rotation number of the pin 41 (motor 54) has been sufficiently increased, based on motor sound, for example.
- the yarn threading to the first feed rollers 11 may be performed when the pin 41 is accelerating to reach the high rotation number or when the pin 41 has reached the high rotation number.
- step S6 yarn threading to the third feed rollers 18, the second heater 19, the fourth feed rollers 20, and the winding devices 21 is performed lastly (step S7). In this way, the yarn Y false-twisted by the processing part 3 is wound by the winding unit 4, and a package P is produced.
- the draw texturing machine 1 of the present embodiment includes: the setting unit 31 which is configured to set a set value regarding the high rotation number for yarn production and a set value regarding the low rotation number lower than the high rotation number, in regard to the rotation number of the pin 41 of the pin-type twisting units 15; and the operation unit 32 provided for switching the rotation number of the pin 41 between the high rotation number and the low rotation number.
- the setting unit 31 is provided for setting the set values regarding the high rotation number and the low rotation number, the rotation number of the pin 41 (motor 54) can be changed at will by using the setting unit 31. It is therefore possible to suitably handle changes in types and production conditions of yarn Y.
- the draw texturing machine 1 of the present embodiment has improved versatility, and makes it possible to perform yarn threading irrespective of the proficiency of the operator.
- the acceleration of the pin 41 can be set by means of the setting unit 31.
- the acceleration of the pin 41 of the pin-type twisting units 15 is too high, yarn breakage tends to occur at the time of acceleration.
- the limit acceleration varies in accordance with the type and production conditions of the yarn Y. Because the acceleration of the pin 41 (motor 54) can be set at will, the occurrence of yarn breakage at the time of acceleration of the pin 41 is restrained irrespective of the type and production conditions of the yarn Y.
- the acceleration of the pin 41 is arranged to be 80,000rpm/s or less (to be more specific, about 10,000 to 15,000rpm/s). Although depending on the type of the yarn Y, occurrence of yarn breakage at the time of acceleration of the pin 41 is suitably restrained when the acceleration of the pin 41 is about 80,000rpm/s or less.
- the low rotation number of the motor 54 is arranged to be equal to or smaller than 1/2 of the high rotation number.
- the low rotation number is arranged to be equal to or smaller than 1/2 of the high rotation number, the number of twists of the yarn Y in low-speed rotation is small and yarn shaking is restrained, with the result that yarn threading can be suitably performed.
- the rotation number of the pin 41 is switched in order from a low rotation number to a high rotation number among the rotation numbers corresponding to the set values set by the setting unit 31, each time the operation unit 32 is operated.
- the pin 41 is switched, for example, from the stopped state to the low rotation number and then to the high rotation number, as the operation unit 32 is operated in accordance with the progress of the yarn threading process. It is therefore possible to eliminate mistakes such as erroneous swift acceleration of the pin 41 from the stopped state to the high rotation number.
- the rotational direction of the rotation shaft 43 rotationally driven by the motor 54 is identical with the direction in which the pin 41 is pressed into the gap between the rollers 45 and 47 (46 and 48) attached to the respective rotation shafts 43 and 44.
- This arrangement makes it possible to prevent the rollers 45 and 46 attached to the rotational shaft 43 rotationally driven by the motor 54 from moving away from the pin 41, with the result that the power of the motor 54 is certainly transmitted to the pin 41 via the rollers 45 and 46.
- the rotation number of the pin 41 is therefore finely controllable.
- the tension sensor 24 configured to measure the tension of the yarn Y is provided downstream in the yarn running direction of the pin-type twisting unit 15, and the control unit 30 is provided to perform predetermined control based on the tension detected by the tension sensor 24.
- the tension of the yarn Y may be rapidly changed and yarn breakage may occur. It is possible to suitably perform the yarn threading process while restraining the yarn breakage, by properly executing the predetermined control based on the tension of the yarn Y. As specific examples, the following will describe modifications.
- the tension of the yarn Y decreases in accordance with the increase of the rotation number of the pin 41, as shown in FIG. 9 .
- the control unit 30 stops the acceleration of the pin 41 (motor 54) to maintain the rotation number of the pin 41 to be constant.
- the rotation number of the pin 41 in this case is the low rotation number in the present invention.
- the control unit 30 preferably switches the notification unit 27 to a notification state when the tension of the yarn Y measured by the tension sensor 24 is decreased to the first tension while the pin 41 is accelerating from the stopped state. As such, because the decrease of the tension of the yarn Y to the first tension is notified to the operator by the notification unit 27, the operator is able to swiftly perform the yarn threading process.
- the timing to perform yarn threading to the first feed rollers 11 in the step S6 is judged by the operator based on motor sound. Sound perception, however, is different from individual to individual.
- predetermined second tension may be set in regard to the tension of the yarn Y, and the control unit 30 may switch the notification unit 27 to the notification state when the tension measured by the tension sensor 24 is decreased to the second tension while the pin 41 is accelerating from the low rotation number.
- the control unit 30 may stop the acceleration of the pin 41 (motor 54) if the tension measured by the tension sensor 24 is decreased to the second tension while the pin 41 is accelerating from the low rotation number.
- the rotation number of the pin 41 is maintained at the rotation number when the tension of the yarn Y is decreased to the second tension, it is possible to perform yarn threading to the first feed rollers 11 in a state in which the number of twists of the yarn Y is constant and stable.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a draw texturing machine provided with a pin-type twisting unit.
- For example, Patent Literature 1 (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No.
2002-69763 - To thread a yarn onto such a draw texturing machine, to begin with, yarn threading to the pin-type twisting unit is performed. Subsequently, yarn threading to members such as a feed roller is performed while the pin-type twisting unit is in operation. At this stage, because yarn breakage tends to occur if the rotation number of the pin is swiftly increased to the rotation number for production, the yarn threading is preferably performed in a state in which the rotation number of the pin is smaller than the rotation number for production. For example, Patent Literature 2 (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No.
S50-25839 - As a drive motor for a pin-type twisting unit,
Patent Literature 2 recites a motor in which the rotation number is switchable in stages (FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 ) and a motor in which the rotation number is changeable in a stepless manner (i.e., continuously) (FIG. 6 ). However, in the motor ofPatent Literature 2 in which the rotation number is switchable in stages, plural set values are fixed and are not changeable at will. Changes in types and production conditions of a yarn cannot therefore be properly handled, and hence the motor lacks versatility. Meanwhile, when a motor in which the rotation number is changeable in stepless is employed, an operator is required to adjust the rotation number. It is difficult for an inexperienced operator to finely adjust the rotation number, with the result that yarn threading tends to be failed. - In consideration of the above, an object of the present invention is to improve versatility and to facilitate yarn threading irrespective of the proficiency of an operator, in a draw texturing machine including a pin-type twisting unit.
- The present invention relates to a draw texturing machine including: a pin-type twisting unit which includes a cylindrical pin retained while being in contact with circumferential surfaces of rollers attached to two rotational shafts, respectively, and which is configured to twist a yarn running inside the pin by rotating the pin by rotationally driving one of the two rotational shafts by a motor; a setting unit which is configured to set, in regard to a rotation number of the pin, set values regarding at least a high rotation number which is a rotation number in yarn production and a low rotation number which is smaller than the high rotation number; and an operation unit which is provided to switch the rotation number of the pin between the high rotation number and the low rotation number.
- In the present invention, because the setting unit is provided for setting the set values regarding the high rotation number and the low rotation number, the rotation number of the pin (motor) can be changed at will by using the setting unit. It is therefore possible to suitably handle changes in types and production conditions of a yarn. Furthermore, because the rotation number of the pin (motor) is, by the operation unit, switchable between the high rotation number and the low rotation number which are set in advance, fine adjustment of the rotation number by the operator is unnecessary. On this account, according to the present invention, the draw texturing machine has improved versatility, and makes it possible to perform yarn threading irrespective of the proficiency of the operator.
- The present invention is preferably arranged such that acceleration of the pin is settable by using the setting unit.
- When the acceleration of the pin of the pin-type twisting units is too high, yarn breakage tends to occur at the time of acceleration. The limit acceleration, however, varies in accordance with the type and production conditions of the yarn. Because the acceleration of the pin (motor) can be set at will, the occurrence of yarn breakage at the time of acceleration of the pin is restrained irrespective of the type and production conditions of the yarn.
- The present invention is preferably arranged such that the acceleration of the pin is set at 80,000rpm/s or less.
- Although depending on the type of the yarn, occurrence of yarn breakage at the time of acceleration of the pin is suitably restrained when the acceleration of the pin is about 80,000rpm/s or less.
- The present invention is preferably arranged such that the low rotation number is arranged to be equal to or smaller than a half of the high rotation number.
- When the low rotation number is arranged to be equal to or smaller than 1/2 of the high rotation number, the number of twists of the yarn in low-speed rotation is small and yarn shaking is restrained, with the result that yarn threading can be suitably performed.
- The present invention is preferably arranged such that, the rotation number of the pin is switched in order from a low rotation number to a high rotation number among rotation numbers corresponding to set values set by the setting unit, each time the operation unit is operated.
- With this arrangement, the pin is switched, for example, from the stopped state to the low rotation number and then to the high rotation number, as the operation unit is operated in accordance with the progress of the yarn threading process. It is therefore possible to eliminate mistakes such as erroneous swift acceleration of the pin from the stopped state to the high rotation number.
- The present invention is preferably arranged such that, the rotational direction of at least one of the rotational shafts rotationally driven by the motor is identical with a direction in which the pin is pressed into a gap between the rollers attached to the respective two rotational shafts.
- This arrangement makes it possible to prevent the pin from moving away from the roller attached to the rotational shaft rotationally driven by the motor, with the result that the power of the motor is certainly transmitted to the pin via the roller. The rotation number of the pin is therefore finely controllable.
- In the present invention, preferably, the draw texturing machine includes: a tension sensor which is provided downstream in a yarn running direction of the pin-type twisting unit and is configured to measure tension of the yarn; and a control unit configured to execute predetermined control based on the tension detected by the tension sensor.
- During the yarn threading process of yarn threading to the draw texturing machine, the tension of the yarn may be rapidly changed and yarn breakage may occur. It is possible to suitably perform the yarn threading process while restraining the yarn breakage, by properly executing the predetermined control based on the tension of the yarn.
- The present invention is preferably arranged such that, in connection with the tension of the yarn, predetermined first tension is set as a set value regarding the low rotation number, and the control unit stops acceleration of the motor when the tension measured by the tension sensor is decreased to the first tension while the pin is accelerating from a stopped state.
- Because the tension of the yarn decreases in accordance with the acceleration of the pin of the pin-type twisting unit, the low rotation number can be set based on the tension of the yarn in place of the rotation number. In this case, the rotation number when the tension of the yarn is decreased to the first tension is used as the low rotation number. If the first tension is arranged to be sufficiently low, the occurrence of yarn breakage is restrained even if yarn threading to the feed rollers is performed in low-speed rotation and the tension is rapidly increased.
- In the present invention, preferably, the draw texturing machine further includes a notification unit which is switchable to a notification state of notifying predetermined information to an operator, the control unit switching the notification unit to the notification state when the tension measured by the tension sensor is decreased to the first tension while the pin is accelerating from the stopped state.
- As such, because the decrease of the tension of the yarn to the first tension is notified to the operator by the notification unit, the operator is able to swiftly perform the yarn threading process.
- In the present invention, preferably, the draw texturing machine further includes a notification unit which is switchable to a notification state of notifying predetermined information to an operator, regarding the tension of the yarn, predetermined second tension being set, and the control unit switching the notification unit to the notification state when the tension measured by the tension sensor is decreased to the second tension while the pin is accelerating from the low rotation number.
- To avoid yarn breakage due to increase in tension at the time of yarn threading after the start of acceleration of the rotation number of the pin of the pin-type twisting unit from the low rotation number, it is necessary to perform the yarn threading after the rotation number of the motor becomes sufficiently high and the tension of the yarn is sufficiently lowered. Conventionally, the operator judges, based on motor sound, that the rotation number of the motor becomes sufficiently high. Sound perception, however, is different from individual to individual. If the operator is notified of decrease of the tension measured by the tension sensor to predetermined second tension as described above, the operator is able to perform yarn threading to the feed rollers or the like at a suitable timing, on condition that the second tension is properly set.
- The present invention is preferably arranged such that the control unit stops acceleration of the motor when the tension measured by the tension sensor is decreased to the second tension while the pin is accelerating from the low rotation number.
- As such, because the rotation number of the motor is maintained at the rotation number when the tension of the yarn is decreased to the second tension, it is possible to perform yarn threading in a state in which the number of twists of the yarn is constant and stable.

-
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of adraw texturing machine 1 of the embodiment of the present invention. As shown inFIG. 1 , thedraw texturing machine 1 includes ayarn supplying unit 2 configured to supply yarns Y, aprocessing part 3 configured to false-twist the yarns Y supplied from theyarn supplying unit 2, and a windingunit 4 configured to wind the yarns Y false-twisted by theprocessing part 3 so as to form packages P. - The
yarn supplying unit 2 includes acreel stand 10 retaining yarn supply packages Q, and supplies the yarns Y to theprocessing part 3. In theprocessing part 3, the following members are provided in this order from the upstream in the yarn running direction along a yarn path:first feed rollers 11; a twist-stoppingguide 12; afirst heater 13; a cooler 14; a pin-type twisting unit 15;second feed rollers 16; an interlacingdevice 17;third feed rollers 18; asecond heater 19; andfourth feed rollers 20. The windingunit 4 winds, by windingdevices 21, the yarns Y false-twisted by theprocessing part 3, so as to form packages P. - The
draw texturing machine 1 includes amain base 5 and a windingbase 6 which are provided to oppose each other and to be spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction inFIG. 1 (hereinafter, the base width direction). Themain base 5 and the windingbase 6 extend in the direction orthogonal to the plane ofFIG. 1 (hereinafter, the frame longitudinal direction). An upper part of themain base 5 is connected to an upper part of the windingbase 6 by a supportingframe 7. The apparatuses constituting theprocessing part 3 are mainly attached to themain base 5 and the supportingframe 7. Themain base 5, the windingbase 6, and the supportingframe 7 form a workingspace 8. To put it differently, themain base 5, the windingbase 6, and the supportingframe 7 are provided to surround the workingspace 8, and the yarns Y are arranged to run mainly around the workingspace 8. An operator performs operations such as yarn threading in the workingspace 8. - The
draw texturing machine 1 includes units which are termed spans and each of which includes a pair of themain base 5 and the windingbase 6 opposing each other. In one span, processing units (which are also termed spindles) in which yarn paths are formed to pass the devices constituting theprocessing part 3 are lined up in the base longitudinal direction. With this arrangement, in one span, yarns Y running while being lined up in the base longitudinal direction can be simultaneously false-twisted. In thedraw texturing machine 1, the spans are provided in a left - right symmetrical manner in the base width direction, with themain base 5 being at the center. (Themain base 5 is shared between the left spans and the right spans.) Furthermore, plural spans are provided in the base longitudinal direction. InFIG. 1 , the left spans are not shown. - The
first feed rollers 11 are rollers for supplying the yarn Y from theyarn supplying unit 2 to thefirst heater 13. Thefirst feed rollers 11 are provided at an upper part of the windingbase 6. Thefirst feed rollers 11 include a drive roller and a driven roller. As the drive roller is rotationally driven while the yarn Y is sandwiched between the drive roller and the driven roller, the yarn Y is fed to the downstream side in the yarn running direction. In one span, the drive rollers are connected to a shared drive shaft. Each driven roller is switchable between a state in which the driven roller is in contact with the corresponding drive roller (i.e., a state of sandwiching and feeding the yarn Y) and a state in which the driven roller is separated from the drive roller (i.e., a state in which yarn threading is possible), by a lever operation by the operator, for example. Thesecond feed rollers 16, thethird feed rollers 18, and thefourth feed rollers 20 are similarly arranged. - The twist-stopping
guide 12 is provided to prevent twist of the yarn Y formed by the pin-type twisting unit 15 from being propagated to the upstream in the yarn running direction of the twist-stoppingguide 12. The twist-stoppingguide 12 is provided between thefirst feed roller 11 and thefirst heater 13 with respect to the yarn running direction. The twist-stoppingguide 12 is arranged to be movable between a yarn threading position (dotted line inFIG. 1 ) at a lower end portion of aguide rail 22 and an operation position (full line inFIG. 1 ) at an upper end portion of theguide rail 22, along theguide rail 22 extending in the up-down direction. To be more specific, the twist-stoppingguide 12 is attached to an unillustrated member termed shifter, and as the shifter is moved along theguide rail 22 by an unillustrated cylinder, the twist-stoppingguide 12 is moved. For details, see Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.2016-27218 - The
first heater 13 is configured to heat the yarn Y twisted by the pin-type twisting unit 15. Thefirst heater 13 is attached to an upper end portion of the supportingframe 7. - The cooler 14 is configured to cool the yarn Y heated by the
first heater 13. The cooler 14 is provided between thefirst heater 13 and the pin-type twisting unit 15 in the yarn running direction. - The pin-
type twisting unit 15 is configured to twist the yarn Y. The pin-type twisting unit 15 is provided at an upper part of themain base 5. The pin-type twisting unit 15 will be detailed later. - The
second feed rollers 16 are rollers for sending the yarn Y twisted by the pin-type twisting unit 15 toward the interlacingdevice 17. Thesecond feed rollers 16 are provided below the pin-type twisting unit 15 in themain base 5. The conveyance speed of conveying the yarn Y by thesecond feed rollers 16 is higher than the conveyance speed of conveying the yarn Y by thefirst feed rollers 11. The yarn Y is therefore drawn between thefirst feed rollers 11 and thesecond feed rollers 16. - The interlacing
device 17 is configured to interlace the yarn Y by injecting air thereto. The interlacingdevice 17 is provided below thesecond feed rollers 16 in themain base 5. - The
third feed rollers 18 are rollers for sending the yarn Y interlaced by the interlacingdevice 17 toward thesecond heater 19. Thethird feed rollers 18 are provided below the interlacingdevice 17 in themain base 5. The conveyance speed of conveying the yarn Y by thethird feed rollers 18 is lower than the conveyance speed of conveying the yarn Y by thesecond feed rollers 16. The yarn Y is therefore relaxed between thethird feed rollers 18 and thesecond feed rollers 16. - The
second heater 19 is configured to heat the yarn Y supplied from thethird feed rollers 18. Thesecond heater 19 is provided below thethird feed rollers 18 in themain base 5. - The
fourth feed rollers 20 are provided to feed the yarn Y thermally treated by thesecond heater 19 toward the windingdevice 21. Thefourth feed rollers 20 are provided at a lower part of the windingbase 6. The conveyance speed of conveying the yarn Y by thefourth feed rollers 20 is lower than the conveyance speed of conveying the yarn Y by thethird feed rollers 18. The yarn Y is therefore relaxed between thethird feed rollers 18 and thefourth feed rollers 20. - In the
processing part 3 arranged as described above, the yarn Y drawn between thefirst feed rollers 11 and thesecond feed rollers 16 is twisted by the pin-type twisting unit 15. The twist formed by the pin-type twisting unit 15 is propagated to the twist-stoppingguide 12 but is not propagated to the upstream in the yarn running direction of the twist-stoppingguide 12. The yarn Y drawn and twisted in this way is heated by thefirst heater 13 and are then cooled by the cooler 14 and thermally set. The yarn Y having passed the pin-type twisting unit 15 is unwound before the yarn Y reaches thesecond feed rollers 16. The twist of each yarn Y, however, is thermally fixed as described above. Each of the filaments therefore maintains a wavy false-twisted state. Thereafter, interlacing is performed by the interlacingdevice 17, and the yarn Y thermally set by thesecond heater 19 is wound by the windingdevice 21. - The
draw texturing machine 1 of the present embodiment further includes acutter 23, atension sensor 24, asuction unit 25, and ayarn breakage sensor 26 which are provided on the yarn path. Thecutter 23 is provided upstream in the yarn running direction of thefirst feed rollers 11 and cuts the yarn Y. Thetension sensor 24 is provided downstream in the yarn running direction of the pin-type twisting unit 15 and is configured to measure the tension of the twisted yarn Y. Thesuction unit 25 is provided below thethird feed rollers 18 in themain base 5, and is used for temporarily sucking and retaining the yarn Y during a yarn threading process. Theyarn breakage sensor 26 is provided downstream in the yarn running direction of thefourth feed rollers 20 and is configured to detect yarn breakage by detecting the existence of the yarn Y. The positions of these devices are not limited to these described positions. - A
notification unit 27 is provided at an upper part of themain base 5. Thenotification unit 27 of the present embodiment is constituted by a lamp. As the state of the lamp is switched to a turn-on state or a flickering state (notification state) in a predetermined case, the operator is notified of predetermined information. The arrangement of thenotification unit 27 is not limited to this. The operator may be notified of predetermined information by audio from a speaker or a text displayed on a screen, for example. -
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an electric structure of thedraw texturing machine 1. As shown inFIG. 2 , thedraw texturing machine 1 includes acontrol unit 30 which controls operations of devices of processing units.FIG. 2 shows the devices of only a processing unit A, and processing unit B and other processing units are not detailed. - Output signals from the
tension sensor 24 and theyarn breakage sensor 26 are sent to thecontrol unit 30. In accordance with the output signals from thetension sensor 24 and theyarn breakage sensor 26, thecontrol unit 30 controls operations of thecutter 23, thenotification unit 27, and a later-describedmotor 54 of the pin-type twisting unit 15. Themotor 54 is controllable by thecontrol unit 30 and is switchable by the operator by means of anoperation unit 32. A settingunit 31 by which the operator inputs setting values to thecontrol unit 30 is connected to thecontrol unit 30. The settingunit 31 may be formed of, for example, a touch panel, or may be formed of a keyboard, etc. -
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the pin-type twisting unit 15.FIG. 4 shows the pin-type twisting unit 15 in the direction IV inFIG. 3 . The pin-type twisting unit 15 is configured to twist the yarn Y running in apin 41 as thecylindrical pin 41 rotates about the axis. InFIG. 3 , the yarn Y runs upward from below.FIG. 4 does not show aguide member 52. - The pin-
type twisting unit 15 includes tworotational shafts supporter 42 via unillustrated bearings. Tworollers rotational shaft 43. Tworollers rotational shaft 44. Theroller 45 and theroller 47 are at the same position in the axial direction, and are slightly separated from each other so as not to be in contact with each other, as shown inFIG. 4 . The positional relationship between theroller 46 and theroller 48 is identical with the positional relationship between theroller 45 and theroller 47. Therotational shaft 43 is rotationally driven about the axis by power transmitted from themotor 54. - The
pin 41 is a cylindrical member extending in the axial direction. The yarn Y runs in thepin 41. At an intermediate portion in the axial direction of thepin 41, amagnetic portion 41a is formed to oppose later-describedmagnets pin 41, awound portion 41b is internally fixed to extend in the radial direction. The yarn Y is wound once on thewound portion 41b. As thepin 41 rotates about the axis, the yarn Y is twisted. - The
magnet 49 is provided between theroller 45 and theroller 46 in the axial direction. Similarly, themagnet 50 is provided between theroller 47 and theroller 48 in the axial direction. Themagnets supporter 42 via a bracket 51 (seeFIG. 4 ). As thepin 41 is inserted into the gap between therollers 45 and 47 (46 and 48) so that themagnetic portion 41a of thepin 41 opposes themagnets pin 41 is retained by themagnets FIG. 4 . To be more specific, thepin 41 is retained by themagnets pin 41 is sandwiched between therollers 45 and 47 (46 and 48) and is in contact with the circumferential surfaces of therollers 45 and 47 (46 and 48). Thepin 41 is not mechanically fixed to another member, and is retained only by the magnet forces of themagnets rollers 45 to 48. - A ring-shaped
guide member 52 is provided upstream of thepin 41 in the yarn running direction. Theguide member 52 is fixed to thesupporter 42 via an unillustrated bracket. A pipe-shapedguide member 53 is provided downstream in the yarn running direction of thepin 41. Theguide member 53 is directly fixed to thesupporter 42. The shape and way of fixation of each of theguide members - As shown in
FIG. 4 , when theroller 45 is rotated by rotationally driving therotation shaft 43, thepin 41 in contact with the circumferential surface of theroller 45 is rotationally driven in the direction opposite to theroller 45. Furthermore, theroller 47 in contact with the circumferential surface of thepin 41 is rotationally driven in the same direction as theroller 45. As thepin 41 is rotationally driven about the axis, the yarn Y is twisted. In this connection, as indicated by arrows inFIG. 4 , the rotational direction of therotation shaft 43 rotationally driven by the power transmitted from themotor 54 is preferably identical with a direction in which thepin 41 is pressed into the gap between therollers 45 and 47 (46 and 48) attached to therespective rotation shafts pin 41 from moving away from the roller 45 (46), and the power of themotor 54 is certainly transmitted to thepin 41 via the roller 45 (46) . - The twist of the yarn Y is either S twist or Z twist. These two ways are opposite to each other in terms of the direction of twist. When the direction of twist is switched, the target of the power of the
motor 54 is switched from therotational shaft 43 to therotational shaft 44. For example, when the power of themotor 54 is transmitted by a belt, the belt wound on therotational shaft 43 is detached and wound on therotational shaft 44. Alternatively, despite the roller 45 (46) becomes relatively easily moved away from thepin 41, themotor 54 may be arranged to rotate positively and negatively, and the rotational direction of thepin 41 may be changed to switch the direction of twist of the yarn Y, by switching the rotational direction of therotational shafts - As detailed later, when yarn threading to the
draw texturing machine 1 is carried out, to begin with, yarn threading to the pin-type twisting unit 15 is performed, and then yarn threading to other members such as the feed rollers is performed after the yarn Y is twisted by rotating thepin 41. At this stage, if the rotation number of the pin 41 (motor 54) is swiftly increased to a high rotation number for production after the yarn threading to the pin-type twisting unit 15, yarn breakage tends to occur. For this reason, before the rotation number of the pin 41 (motor 54) is increased to the high rotation number, the rotation number of thepin 41 is temporarily maintained at a low rotation number which is lower than the high rotation number. - Set values (related to the low rotation number, the high rotation number, and the acceleration of the pin 41) can be set at will by the operator by using the setting unit 31 (see
FIG. 2 ). In the present embodiment, as an example, thepin 41 is arranged so that the low rotation number is 160,000rpm, the high rotation number is 800,000rpm, and the acceleration is 10,000 to 15,000rpm/s. These set values are suitably changeable by using thesetting unit 31. Each set value set by the settingunit 31 is input to thecontrol unit 30 and is input to the controller of themotor 54, too. Thecontrol unit 30 controls themotor 54 with reference to the set values input by the settingunit 31. - The operation unit 32 (see
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 ) is provided in the vicinity of the pin-type twisting unit 15 in themain base 5. In accordance with the pin-type twisting units 15 lined up in the base longitudinal direction, theoperation units 32 are lined up in the base longitudinal direction. Theoperation unit 32 of the present embodiment is constituted by a singe button. Theoperation unit 32 may not be the button, and may be constituted by a lever or a dial, for example. As theoperation unit 32 is operated once (i.e., the button is pressed once) when the pin 41 (motor 54) is in a stopped state, the pin 41 (motor 54) accelerates until reaching the low rotation number. As theoperation unit 32 is operated once more (i.e., the button is pressed once more), the pin 41 (motor 54) accelerates until reaching the high rotation number. As theoperation unit 32 is operated once more (i.e., the button is pressed once more), the pin 41 (motor 54) returns to the stopped state. - The following describes the yarn threading process of yarn threading to the
draw texturing machine 1.FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the steps of the yarn threading process.FIG. 6 is a graph showing the transition of the rotation number of thepin 41 of the pin-type twisting units 15.FIGs. 7(a) and 7(b) andFIGs. 8(a) and 8(b) are schematic diagrams of the steps of the yarn threading process.FIG. 6 shows an example of timings to execute the steps shown inFIG. 5 , and indicates by a dotted line the transition of the tension of the yarn Y. - To begin with, the operator threads the yarn Y pulled out from a yarn supply package Q to the pin-
type twisting unit 15, and causes thesuction unit 25 to suck the yarn Y (step S1, seeFIG. 7(a) ). At this stage, the yarn Y runs below thecutter 23 and thefirst feed rollers 11, and reach thesuction unit 25 via the pin-type twisting unit 15 and thetension sensor 24. In the yarn threading to the pin-type twisting unit 15, the operator causes the yarn Y to pass through theguide member 52, thepin 41, and the guide member 53 (seeFIG. 3 ) in this order and then positions thepin 41 so that thepin 41 is retained by themagnets rollers 45 to 48. - Subsequently, the operator operates the
operation unit 32 to accelerate thepin 41 from the stopped state until to the low rotation number (step S2). While thepin 41 is accelerating to reach the low rotation number or rotates at the low rotation number, the operator performs yarn threading to the second feed rollers 16 (step S3, seeFIG. 7(b) ). The drive roller of thesecond feed rollers 16 is rotationally driven in advance. As the yarn threading is performed so that the yarn Y is sandwiched between the drive roller and the driven roller, the yarn Y is fed to the downstream side in the yarn running direction. (This applies to the yarn threading to thefirst feed rollers 11 described later.) In other words, after the completion of the step S3, the running yarn Y has been twisted by thepin 41 rotating at the low speed. - Subsequently, the operator threads the yarn Y to the twist-stopping
guide 12 at the yarn threading position, and moves the twist-stoppingguide 12 to the operation position by lifting the unillustrated shifter along the guide rail 22 (step S4, seeFIG. 8(a) ). With this, the yarn Y is threaded to thefirst feed rollers 11 in the state in which the drive roller is separated from the driven roller, and is caused to pass through thecutter 23. While the twist-stoppingguide 12 is being lifted to the operation position, the yarn Y is moved to the yarn path passing thefirst heater 13 and the cooler 14. The steps S2 to S4 may not be executed in this order. The order of execution of S2 to S4 may be changed, or plural steps may be simultaneously executed. - When the steps S2 to S4 are completed, if the yarn Y runs stably without the occurrence of yarn breakage, etc., the operator operates the
operation unit 32 to accelerate thepin 41 from the low rotation number to the high rotation number (step S5). Subsequently, the operator performs yarn threading to the first feed rollers 11 (step S6, seeFIG. 8(b) ). To be more specific, the yarn Y is gripped by being sandwiched between the drive roller and the driven roller of thefirst feed rollers 11, to be in a state of being fed. - Because the tension of the yarn Y rapidly increases in yarn threading to the first feed rollers 11 (see the transition of the tension shown in
FIG. 6 ), yarn breakage may occur during the yarn threading if the tension is high before the yarn threading. The operator therefore performs the yarn threading to thefirst feed rollers 11 when it is considered that the rotation number of thepin 41 has been sufficiently increased, the number of twists of the yarn Y has been increased, and the tension of the yarn Y has been lowered. To be more specific, the operator is able to know whether the rotation number of the pin 41 (motor 54) has been sufficiently increased, based on motor sound, for example. The yarn threading to thefirst feed rollers 11 may be performed when thepin 41 is accelerating to reach the high rotation number or when thepin 41 has reached the high rotation number. - If there is no particular problem in running of the yarn Y, etc. after the end of the step S6, yarn threading to the
third feed rollers 18, thesecond heater 19, thefourth feed rollers 20, and the windingdevices 21 is performed lastly (step S7). In this way, the yarn Y false-twisted by theprocessing part 3 is wound by the windingunit 4, and a package P is produced. - The
draw texturing machine 1 of the present embodiment includes: the settingunit 31 which is configured to set a set value regarding the high rotation number for yarn production and a set value regarding the low rotation number lower than the high rotation number, in regard to the rotation number of thepin 41 of the pin-type twisting units 15; and theoperation unit 32 provided for switching the rotation number of thepin 41 between the high rotation number and the low rotation number. With this arrangement, because thesetting unit 31 is provided for setting the set values regarding the high rotation number and the low rotation number, the rotation number of the pin 41 (motor 54) can be changed at will by using thesetting unit 31. It is therefore possible to suitably handle changes in types and production conditions of yarn Y. Furthermore, because the rotation number of the pin 41 (motor 54) is, by theoperation unit 32, switchable between the high rotation number and the low rotation number which are set in advance, fine adjustment of the rotation number by the operator is unnecessary. On this account, thedraw texturing machine 1 of the present embodiment has improved versatility, and makes it possible to perform yarn threading irrespective of the proficiency of the operator. - In the present embodiment, the acceleration of the
pin 41 can be set by means of thesetting unit 31. When the acceleration of thepin 41 of the pin-type twisting units 15 is too high, yarn breakage tends to occur at the time of acceleration. The limit acceleration, however, varies in accordance with the type and production conditions of the yarn Y. Because the acceleration of the pin 41 (motor 54) can be set at will, the occurrence of yarn breakage at the time of acceleration of thepin 41 is restrained irrespective of the type and production conditions of the yarn Y. - In the present embodiment, the acceleration of the
pin 41 is arranged to be 80,000rpm/s or less (to be more specific, about 10,000 to 15,000rpm/s). Although depending on the type of the yarn Y, occurrence of yarn breakage at the time of acceleration of thepin 41 is suitably restrained when the acceleration of thepin 41 is about 80,000rpm/s or less. - In the present embodiment, the low rotation number of the
motor 54 is arranged to be equal to or smaller than 1/2 of the high rotation number. When the low rotation number is arranged to be equal to or smaller than 1/2 of the high rotation number, the number of twists of the yarn Y in low-speed rotation is small and yarn shaking is restrained, with the result that yarn threading can be suitably performed. - In the present embodiment, the rotation number of the
pin 41 is switched in order from a low rotation number to a high rotation number among the rotation numbers corresponding to the set values set by the settingunit 31, each time theoperation unit 32 is operated. With this arrangement, thepin 41 is switched, for example, from the stopped state to the low rotation number and then to the high rotation number, as theoperation unit 32 is operated in accordance with the progress of the yarn threading process. It is therefore possible to eliminate mistakes such as erroneous swift acceleration of thepin 41 from the stopped state to the high rotation number. - In the present embodiment, the rotational direction of the
rotation shaft 43 rotationally driven by themotor 54 is identical with the direction in which thepin 41 is pressed into the gap between therollers 45 and 47 (46 and 48) attached to therespective rotation shafts rollers rotational shaft 43 rotationally driven by themotor 54 from moving away from thepin 41, with the result that the power of themotor 54 is certainly transmitted to thepin 41 via therollers pin 41 is therefore finely controllable. - In the present embodiment, the
tension sensor 24 configured to measure the tension of the yarn Y is provided downstream in the yarn running direction of the pin-type twisting unit 15, and thecontrol unit 30 is provided to perform predetermined control based on the tension detected by thetension sensor 24. During the yarn threading process of yarn threading to thedraw texturing machine 1, the tension of the yarn Y may be rapidly changed and yarn breakage may occur. It is possible to suitably perform the yarn threading process while restraining the yarn breakage, by properly executing the predetermined control based on the tension of the yarn Y. As specific examples, the following will describe modifications. - The following will describe modifications of the above-described embodiment.
- (1) In the embodiment above, as each of the set values regarding the low rotation number and the high rotation number of the
pin 41 of the pin-type twisting units 15, the rotation number is directly set. Alternatively, the low rotation number and the high rotation number may be indirectly set by set values which are not rotation numbers. For example, as a set value regarding the low rotation number, predetermined first tension may be set for the tension of the yarn Y. This modification will be detailed with reference toFIG. 9. FIG. 9 is a graph showing the transition of the rotation number of thepin 41 of the pin-type twisting units 15. The transition from the stopped state to the low rotation number is shown, and a part of the transition of the tension of the yarn Y is indicated by a dotted line. - When the operator operates the
operation unit 32 while thepin 41 is in the stopped state, the tension of the yarn Y decreases in accordance with the increase of the rotation number of thepin 41, as shown inFIG. 9 . When the first tension is set as the set value regarding the low rotation number as described above, if the tension of the yarn Y measured by thetension sensor 24 is decreased to the first tension while thepin 41 is accelerating from the stopped state, thecontrol unit 30 stops the acceleration of the pin 41 (motor 54) to maintain the rotation number of thepin 41 to be constant. The rotation number of thepin 41 in this case is the low rotation number in the present invention. In this regard, if the first tension is arranged to be sufficiently low, the occurrence of yarn breakage is restrained even if yarn threading to thesecond feed rollers 16 is performed in low-speed rotation and the tension is rapidly increased (seeFIG. 9 ). - If the first tension is set as the set value regarding the low rotation number, the
control unit 30 preferably switches thenotification unit 27 to a notification state when the tension of the yarn Y measured by thetension sensor 24 is decreased to the first tension while thepin 41 is accelerating from the stopped state. As such, because the decrease of the tension of the yarn Y to the first tension is notified to the operator by thenotification unit 27, the operator is able to swiftly perform the yarn threading process. - (2) In the embodiment above, the timing to perform yarn threading to the
first feed rollers 11 in the step S6 is judged by the operator based on motor sound. Sound perception, however, is different from individual to individual. On this account, predetermined second tension may be set in regard to the tension of the yarn Y, and thecontrol unit 30 may switch thenotification unit 27 to the notification state when the tension measured by thetension sensor 24 is decreased to the second tension while thepin 41 is accelerating from the low rotation number. With this, the operator is able to perform yarn threading to thefirst feed rollers 11 at a suitable timing, on condition that the second tension is properly set. - When the second tension is set as the tension of the yarn Y suitable for performing yarn threading to the
first feed rollers 11 as described above, thecontrol unit 30 may stop the acceleration of the pin 41 (motor 54) if the tension measured by thetension sensor 24 is decreased to the second tension while thepin 41 is accelerating from the low rotation number. As such, because the rotation number of thepin 41 is maintained at the rotation number when the tension of the yarn Y is decreased to the second tension, it is possible to perform yarn threading to thefirst feed rollers 11 in a state in which the number of twists of the yarn Y is constant and stable. - (3) In the embodiment above, the
notification unit 27 and theoperation unit 32 are different units. Alternatively, theoperation unit 32 may additionally function as thenotification unit 27. For example, when theoperation unit 32 is constituted by a button as in the embodiment above, the function as the notification unit may be fulfilled such that the button turns on or flickers. - (4) The
control unit 30 may switch thenotification unit 27 to the notification state when thepin 41 reaches the high rotation number. To be more specific, thenotification unit 27 may be switched to the notification state when the rotation number of themotor 54 reaches the rotation number corresponding to the high rotation number of thepin 41. This increases the success rate of yarn threading to thethird feed rollers 18, thefourth feed rollers 20, and the windingdevices 21. - (5) In the pin-
type twisting units 15 of the embodiment above, only onerotational shaft 43 among the tworotational shafts motor 54. Alternatively, both of the tworotational shafts - (6) The devices constituting the
draw texturing machine 1 of the embodiment above may be variously modified. For example, while in the embodiment above the twist-stoppingguide 12 is movable by the shifter, the twist-stoppingguide 12 may be fixed (see Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No.2011-47074 second heater 19 may be omitted.
