Fig. 5 , the pneumatic system drives the cylinder to stretch. Since thebobbin 10 is clamped by the clampingarms 91, when thebobbin holder 4 is rotated upward, thebobbin 10 forces thesupport pad 6 to rotate, and thebobbin holder 4 continues rotating upward. As a result, the clampedempty bobbin 10 is separated from thesupport pad 6, and a new empty bobbin rolls off to the above of thesupport pad 6 of thebobbin holder 4. - In the rotor spinning machine of the present invention, one of the automatic bobbin replacing devices is provided separately in each spinning unit.

In other embodiments, the transverse beam may be cylindrical, and the bobbin holder may directly sleeve the transverse beam to rotate around the transverse beam. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the U-shaped connecting member is not welded to the transverse beam but is adjustably snap-fitted on the transverse beam, or the U-shaped connecting member is fixably sleeved on the transverse beam, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the bobbin holder and the dismounting of the automatic bobbin replacing device.
- In the foregoing embodiment, the bobbin holder is pivotally fixed to the connecting member by means of a pivot. In other embodiments, the connecting member is plate-like, a rear end thereof has an opening; a pivot joint end at the rear end of the bobbin holder may not need to be provided with a pivoted shaft, but directly stamped to form a bead extending through the opening at the rear end of the connecting member to rotatably fix the bobbin holder to the connecting member.
- In the foregoing embodiment, the
bobbin holder 4 is driven to rotate by thecylinder 5. In other embodiments, a step motor may be adopted to drive a transmission shaft to drive thebobbin holder 4, or the step motor drives thebobbin holder 4 by means of a driving mechanism having a gearing box, or the step motor drives thebobbin holder 4 by means of a synchronous belt. Thebobbin holder 4 may not be formed by bending a plate material, and may be formed by a plurality of rod materials jointing together, or molded by plastics directly. Thestopper 7 may be located at a top of thebobbin holder 4 to stop the empty bobbin from above side, or other stoppers may be adopted to control opening and closing. The foregoing herringbone support frame is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, and it may also be in the form of a triangular support frame or a parallel support frame, etc. Those described above are only descriptions of some specific embodiments of the technical solutions of the present invention, and the inventor cannot enumerate all the embodiments. It only requires that an automatic bobbin replacing device is set in each spinning unit of the rotor spinning machine, and the automatic bobbin replacing device drives the bobbin holder to automatically place a bobbin between the bobbin clamping arms when the bobbin needs to be replaced in case of full yarn. The scope of the claims of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and any modification made by those skilled in the art based on the specific embodiments of the specification, without paying any creative labor, should fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
