Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a yarn joining device and a yarn winding device including the yarn joining device.
  • the yarn ends of two yarns are introduced into a yarn joining space formed in a yarn joining member and compressed air is injected into the yarn joining space so as to twist the yarn ends and join the yarns.
  • a cutter is disposed on one side of the yarn joining member, and a clamp is disposed on the other side.
  • An untwisting pipe is disposed between the yarn joining member and the cutter. When the yarn clamped (gripped) by the clamp is cut by the cutter, the yarn end is sucked by the untwisting pipe and untwisted by the airflow in the untwisting pipe. Thereafter, the untwisted yarn end is pulled out from the untwisting pipe, and the yarn ends are joined by a whirling flow in the yarn joining space.
  • a yarn joining device comprising: a yarn joining member formed with a yarn joining space; a clamp adapted to clamp a yarn; a cutter adapted to cut the yarn clamped by the clamp; and an untwisting pipe formed with a suction port and adapted to suck and untwist a yarn end of the yarn cut by the cutter; the clamp, the yarn joining member, the untwisting pipe and the cutter being disposed in this order; wherein a yarn moving member adapted to bend the yarn with respect to a virtual straight line connecting the cutter and the yarn joining member by coming into contact with the yarn between the cutter and the yarn joining member is disposed between the cutter and the untwisting pipe.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a yarn joining device capable of satisfactorily performing a yarn joining operation even with an elastic yarn.
  • a yarn joining device relates to a yarn joining device including a yarn joining member formed with a yarn joining space; a clamp adapted to clamp a yarn; a cutter adapted to cut the yarn clamped by the clamp; and an untwisting pipe formed with a suction port and adapted to suck and untwist a yarn end of the yarn cut by the cutter; the clamp, the yarn joining member, the untwisting pipe, and the cutter being disposed in this order; where a guide member formed with a contacting portion adapted to bend the yarn with respect to a virtual straight line connecting the cutter and the yarn joining member by coming into contact with the yarn between the cutter and the yarn joining member is disposed between the cutter and the untwisting pipe.
  • the yarn when the elastic yarn is cut by the cutter, the yarn is guided so as to shrink toward an outer side of the suction port by the contacting portion of the guide member. That is, since the shrinkage of the yarn toward the suction port at the shortest distance can be reduced, failure in suction and catching of the yarn end by the untwisting pipe can be avoided. Therefore, according to the present invention, even if the yarn is an elastic yarn, the yarn end of the yarn cut by the cutter can be reliably sucked by the untwisting pipe, and the yarn joining operation can be satisfactorily performed.
  • At least one part of the contacting portion may be located on an outer side opposite to the yarn joining space with respect to the virtual straight line.
  • the cut yarn is more reliably guided toward the outer side of the suction port by the contacting portion. Therefore, according to the present invention, even if the yarn is an elastic yarn, the yarn end of the yarn cut by the cutter can be more reliably sucked by the untwisting pipe, and the yarn joining can be more satisfactorily performed.
  • the contacting portion includes a contacting surface which is a plane to make a surface contact with the yarn; and a virtual extension line obtained by extending the contacting surface passes outward of the suction port.
  • the yarn cut by the cutter shrinks while making a surface contact with the contacting plane, so that the yarn is more reliably guided toward the outer side of the suction port. Therefore, failure in suction and catching of the yarn end by the untwisting pipe can be reliably avoided, and the yarn end can be reliably sucked by the untwisting pipe.
  • the contacting surface may be formed to be away from the virtual straight line as the contacting surface approaches the suction port.
  • the yarn cut by the cutter shrinks while making contact with the contacting surface, so that the yarn behaves so as to move away from the suction port. Therefore, failure in suction and catching of the yarn end by the untwisting pipe can be more reliably avoided, and the yarn end can be more reliably sucked by the untwisting pipe.
  • a collision member to which the yarn cut by the cutter collides before being sucked by the untwisting pipe, may be disposed on the virtual extension line.
  • the yarn cut by the cutter shrinks and collides with the collision member, so that the yarn can be effectively prevented from abruptly shrinking toward the suction port. Therefore, failure in suction and catching of the yarn end by the untwisting pipe can be more reliably avoided, and the yarn end can be more reliably sucked by the untwisting pipe.
  • a separation distance between a portion closest to the suction port in the contacting surface and a point most proximate to the portion in the suction port may be greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm.
  • the effect is expected to be greater as the separation distance between the contacting surface and the suction port is longer.
  • this separation distance is too long, the yarn will be greatly bent by that much and the yarn path will become long. Then, the length of the yarn end sucked into the untwisting pipe may change, and the desired untwisting may not be performed. Therefore, by defining the separation distance between the contacting surface and the suction port as described above, the untwisting pipe can be reliably caused to suck the yarn end and satisfactorily perform the untwisting.
  • the guide member may include a guiding surface formed on a side farther from the suction port than the contacting surface and adapted to guide the yarn to the contacting surface.
  • the yarn can be satisfactorily guided to the contacting surface when being guided to the yarn joining space.
  • the yarn joining device further includes a regulation member formed with a regulation surface for regulating the yarn end pulled out from the untwisting pipe; where the yarn joining member is formed with an introduction port to which the yarn end is introduced after being regulated by the regulation surface; and when viewed from an axial direction of the untwisting pipe, an angle formed by a virtual extension line of the regulation surface with respect to a forming surface of the introduction port is smaller than an angle formed by a straight line connecting a center of the suction port and an end closer to the untwisting pipe in the introduction port with respect to the forming surface.
  • the yarn end can be pulled out from the untwisting pipe while the yarn is bent at an end portion on the yarn joining member side of the regulation surface. Therefore, the occurrence of rapid shrinkage of the yarn can be reduced by the friction at the bent portion, and the yarn end drawn from the untwisting pipe can be satisfactorily guided to the yarn joining space.
  • the yarn joining device may further include a supporting member adapted to support the untwisting pipe; and a supporting plate detachably provided with respect to the supporting member.
  • the guide member may be fixed to the supporting plate.
  • the guide member is effective when joining an elastic yarn, but may be unnecessary in a case of a general yarn that barely has elasticity. Even in such a case, according to the configuration described above, a change of a yarn type can be dealt by simply replacing the supporting plate without replacing the entire yarn joining device.
  • the regulation member may be fixed to the supporting plate.
  • the regulation member of the present invention is effective when joining an elastic yarn, but may be unnecessary in a case of a general yarn that barely has elasticity. Even in such a case, according to the configuration described above, the change of the yarn type can be dealt by simply replacing the supporting plate without replacing the entire yarn joining device.
  • a yarn winding device includes a yarn supplying section adapted to supply a yarn; a winding section adapted to wind the yarn supplied from the yarn supplying section; and the yarn joining device according to any one of the above disposed between the yarn supplying section and the winding section.

  • a control device not illustrated
  • the machine-frame controlling device 4 can issue various commands to the control device (not illustrated) of each winding unit 2.

In the unwinding assisting device 16, as the unwinding of the yarn Y proceeds, by lowering the cylindrical body 29, bulging (balloon) of the yarn Y that is being unwound is regulated and tension of the yarn Y is stabilized.

Furthermore, since the mounting portion 48 of the regulation member 46 is disposed on the virtual extension line L, the yarn Y1 that has shrunk along the virtual extension line L collides with the mounting portion 48, whereby abrupt shrinkage of the yarn Y1 toward the suction port 32a can be effectively reduced.

According to such a configuration, the yarn Y cut by the cutter 41 behaves so as to move away from the suction port 32a as it shrinks while making contact with the contacting surface 45a.
