Definitions

  • the invention relates to a balloon constriction ring for a ring spinning machine according to the independent patent claim.
  • a ring spinning machine typically includes a balloon constriction ring located between the yarn guide and the ring traveler. Without this balloon constriction ring, the yarn would assume a strongly curved position. The balloon could become unstable and eventually collapse. In order to avoid this so-called jibing, the balloon is constricted in the middle with a balloon constriction ring in such a way that two smaller balloons are formed, which are stable in themselves.
  • these balloon constriction rings There are various embodiments of these balloon constriction rings.
  • a conventional balloon constriction ring is made of CH687708 or DE4324587 known.
  • DE102005014063 discloses an embodiment in which the height of the balloon constriction ring is temporarily shifted when the yarn thickens in order to prevent the yarn balloon from expanding and thus reducing quality or yarn breakage.
  • DE1148919 discloses an embodiment with two balloon constriction rings.
  • the balloon constriction rings are attached to a guide rod by means of sliders, which are used to support pivot axes, so that the balloon constriction rings can be pivoted about these pivot axes by about 90 degrees upwards.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a balloon constriction ring that does not impede the doffer in any way.
  • a balloon constriction ring for a ring spinning machine according to the preamble of the independent claim, which is characterized in that both half rings have a fork next to the bearing, which is guided around the bearing, and have teeth located behind the bearing, which intervene.
  • a rear plate which is fixed to the fork of a half-ring and which has teeth can be connected to a lever or a pinion in order to open or unfold the balloon constriction ring manually or automatically.
  • the two half-rings at least partially overlap in the closed state and/or each of the half-rings has a circular segment which forms a circle in the closed state.
  • the balloon constriction ring according to the invention can have a smaller diameter than the cop of the ring spinning machine, for example in a range of 20-60 mm, and thus have a diameter of 26 mm.
  • All elements of the balloon constriction ring shown can be made of plastic by injection molding, the parts should be electrically conductive. Polyamides (PA) or polyetheretherketone (PEEK) reinforced with carbon fibers are suitable for this purpose. Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymers (ABS) with subsequent chrome plating could also be used.
  • the half rings could be made of wire or sheet steel. Half rings can also be made of steel, which are overmoulded with plastic.
  • the invention also relates to a ring spinning machine with a balloon constriction ring according to the invention, which is arranged between a thread guide and a ring traveler of the ring spinning machine.
  • a rear plate fixed to the fork of a half ring and having teeth can be connected to a lever or a pinion to open the balloon constriction ring manually or automatically.
  • the balloon constriction ring can be opened by hand during the spinning process (while the yarn is running with a large balloon) in order to fix a yarn break, pull off a bobbin by hand, or to make a back winding when spinning.
  • a pneumatically operated slide for the levers or toothed belt for the pinions which can open and close and lock in both positions a number of balloon constriction rings.
  • the balloon constriction rings can thus be opened, closed and locked automatically during different operating positions.
  • the ring spinning machine can be retrofitted with the balloon constriction rings according to the invention.
  • each spinning position 2 consists of a roving bobbin 4, which is arranged above a drafting system 5, and on which a roving 6 is wound.
  • the roving 6 runs from the roving bobbin 4 via the drafting system 5, where it is drafted, in order then to be guided to a yarn-forming element.
  • a circulating runner or ring runner winds the finished yarn onto a cop 7 .
  • the cop 7 is placed on a spindle 8 .
  • 1 also shows a spindle rail 9 and a ring rail 10. Also located between a yarn guide, not shown, and the ring rail 10 is a balloon constriction ring 11, which is in the 1 is also shown only schematically and is described in more detail below.
  • Figure 2a shows the balloon constriction ring 11 of the present invention in a closed position
  • Figure 2b provides the balloon constriction ring 11 according to Figure 2a in a rear view.
  • the balloon constriction ring 11 consists of two half-rings 12, each of the two half-rings 12 being pivotably mounted in a bearing 13 in such a way that it can be opened or folded upwards.
  • the two half-rings 12 overlap at least partially in the closed state.
  • Each of the half-rings 12 has a circular section (for example a semicircle or larger) which, in the closed state, forms a circle necessary for the task of the balloon constriction ring 11 .
  • each of the two half-rings 12 has a fork 14 or another suitable connecting element next to the bearing 13, which is guided around the bearing 13 in each case.
  • the forks 14 are provided with rear teeth 15 located behind the bearing 13 and located on a rear plate 15a.
  • the teeth 15 of both forks 14 mesh (cf. Figure 2b ).
  • Figure 3a shows an embodiment of a balloon constriction ring 11 according to the invention in an open position.
  • a movement of the two half-rings 12 is possible via the teeth 15, the forks 14 and the bearing 13.
  • Figure 3b provides the balloon constriction ring 11 according to Figure 3a in a rear view represents. It is the changed position of the lever 16 and the open position of the half rings 12 relative to the Figure 2a clearly.
  • half-rings 12 can be opened upwards, downwards or in different directions (one downwards, the other upwards, etc.). The mechanism for opening and closing is then adjusted accordingly.
  • Figures 4 to 6 show several balloon constriction rings 11 according to the invention in different operating positions.
  • a slide 17 which includes 16 tips corresponding to the levers.
  • the levers 16 of the balloon constriction rings 11 are actuated by a controlled back and forth movement of a few centimeters (cf. arrow) of the slide 17, thus enabling opening and closing and locking.
  • FIG 4 shows the balloon constriction rings 11 in a closed position. At the same time, the tips of the slide 17 rest against the lever 16, so that the balloon constriction rings 11 are locked.
  • Figure 5 shows the balloon constriction rings 11 in a closed but unlocked position. Opposite of 4 the slider 17 was moved so that the lock was released. In this position, the balloon constriction rings 11 can be moved manually. In this way, an operator can open the balloon constriction rings 11, for example to fix a yarn breakage, pull off a cop, etc.
  • the balloon constriction ring 11 can be opened and closed manually or automatically during operation of the ring spinning machine (with the thread running with a large balloon). In the figure 5 the middle balloon constriction ring 11 was opened manually. If the balloon constriction ring 11 should inadvertently remain open, it will be closed again the next time the slide is moved, for example after the next doffing.
  • the balloon constriction rings 11 in an open position; opposite of figure 5 the slider 17 was moved further so that it had a respective adjacent balloon constriction ring 11 opens.
  • the balloon constriction rings 11 are locked in this position, sliding in a maximum position.
  • the balloon constriction rings 11 must be opened shortly before spinning (backwinding), since the diameter is smaller than the package.
  • the bobbins are changed and doffed accordingly with a doffer, not shown.
  • the diameter of the balloon constriction rings 11 can be in a range of 20-60 mm, for example 26 mm.
  • the slide then actuates the balloon constriction rings 11 again by moving it back to the stop (cf. 4 ). This ensures that all balloon constriction rings 11 are closed. Immediately after the piecing of the slide 17 is then back to the figure 5 position shown.
  • the slide is preferably moved by means of two pneumatic cylinders, not shown.
  • FIG. 7 shows a variant of a balloon constriction ring 11 according to the invention in a closed position.
  • a pinion 18 and a toothed belt 19 instead of a lever and a slider.
  • 8 shows a view of the variant according to 7 from behind.
  • the teeth of the toothed belt engage in the corresponding indentations of the pinion 18, a displacement of the toothed belt 19 (see arrow) thus ensures that the pinion 18 rotates and thus opens and closes the balloon constriction ring 11. It is therefore possible to use rounded, pointed or to take other teeth as long as the function is fulfilled.
  • the toothed belt 19 is driven with two cylinders mounted at the beginning and at the end. These only work on train.
  • 9 shows the variant of a balloon constriction ring according to the invention 7 in an open position (the toothed belt 19 has been moved a corresponding distance).
  • All of the elements of the balloon constriction ring 11 shown can be produced from plastic by injection molding, with the elements being intended to be electrically conductive.
  • Polyamides (PA) or polyetheretherketone (PEEK) reinforced with carbon fibers are suitable for this purpose. It could also be made using acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymers (ABS). subsequent chrome plating.
  • the half-rings 12 could be made of wire or sheet steel. Half rings 12 can also be made of steel, which are overmoulded with plastic.
