Definitions
- the present invention relates to a drafting system with a device for compressing drafted slivers in a spinning machine and a corresponding method.
- Drafting devices for spinning machines comprise at least two pairs of rollers between which a fiber structure is drawn due to the different speeds of the pairs of rollers.
- the pair of rollers after which the drafted fiber structure leaves the drafting system and is fed to a spinning device is referred to as the pair of exit rollers.
- the pair of output rollers consists of an output upper roller and an output lower roller, which form a nip through which the fiber strand is conveyed.
- Devices for compressing the stretched fiber structure are arranged after the exit roller pair, mechanical as well as pneumatic compression devices are used.
- the compression device disclosed therein is of a pneumatic type and essentially consists of a suction shoe and a perforated transport means. In this case, a pressure element is applied to one of the rollers of the pair of output rollers, which forms a second nip point with the roller next to the nip point between the output top roller and the output bottom roller. The compression zone is located between the two clamping points and delimited by the suction shoe.
- the EP 1 134 309 A1 On a Design and arrangement of the opening in the suction shoe is the EP 1 134 309 A1 not a.
- a disadvantage of the proposed device is that in the compression zone the individual fibers of the fiber structure are to be bound into it and for this purpose the fibers are moved in their entire length without being held via the perforated transport means transversely to the conveying direction with the aid of an air flow, which can also lead to a loss of the stretching of the fiber structure determined by the drafting system.
- the fiber structure is conveyed by the transport means, the second clamping point only serves to prevent a yarn twist of the fiber structure from being able to propagate into the compression zone.
- a method for compressing a drafted fiber structure in a compression zone following a pair of output rollers of a drafting system is known.
- the fiber structure is transported through the compression zone by means of a perforated, vacuum-extracted conveyor belt.
- the fiber strand reaches the compression zone, it moves in the same direction as the means of transport.
- a sufficient quantity of the fibers in the fiber structure is still clamped by the pair of exit rollers during compaction.
- the front ends of the fibers of the fiber structure to be compressed do not dip into the perforations of the conveyor belt and thus lead to blockages. Due to the large distance between the clamping points and the great length of the suction slot below the conveyor belt, fibers are moved transversely to their longitudinal alignment and compress the entire fiber structure.
- the object of the present invention is to achieve compression of the fiber structure by bundling the fibers and to create a device for this purpose which is characterized in that fibers are nestled against the fiber structure without moving the individual fibers transversely to the direction of travel via a transport means.
- a drafting system for a spinning machine for drafting a fiber structure with at least a first pair of rollers consisting of an upper roller and a lower roller, and with a second pair of rollers consisting of an output upper roller and an output lower roller, with a first nip point being formed by the first pair of rollers and a second nip point is defined by the second pair of rollers.
- the first nipping point and the second nipping point form a drafting field plane, which is traversed by the fiber structure in a running direction from the first nipping point to the second nipping point.
- the drafting system comprises a fiber compression zone downstream of the pair of output rollers for compression of the drafted fiber bundle, which has a pneumatic compression device with a fiber bundling zone and with a suction pipe wrapped around by a screen element and capable of being sucked out.
- the fiber bundling zone is delimited by the second nip and a third nip, the third nip being formed by the exit top roller and the screen element.
- the suction pipe has a slit-shaped suction opening with a length of 2.0 mm to 5.0 mm, which is arranged in the fiber bundling zone, the slit-shaped suction opening in the suction pipe being arranged from one end of the suction pipe facing the second clamping point in the direction of the third clamping point .
- the ambient air sucked in through the suction opening means that individual fibers protruding from the fiber structure are moved to the suction opening and the fiber structure is thus bundled.
- conventional pneumatic compaction in which the fiber structure is moved on a screen element transversely to its running direction and the fibers are thus pushed together, with fiber bundling only fiber parts or fiber ends protruding from the fiber structure are brought up to the fiber structure without the fiber structure being deflected from its running direction .
- the fiber ends are guided to the fiber structure by a pneumatic suction flow and applied to the fiber structure in the third clamping point.
- the suction tube and thus the screen element are advantageously brought as close as possible to the second clamping point. As a result, fiber parts or fiber ends that protrude from the fiber structure are caught by the air flow immediately after leaving the second clamping point and placed against the fiber structure.
- a distance from the second nip point to the third nip point along a surface of the output top roller is less than an average staple length of the fiber structure to be drawn.
- the constant clamping of at least one fiber end also prevents the fiber structure from losing or partially losing the stretching applied in the drafting system while passing through the fiber bundling zone.
- the screen element is also driven by the output top roller through the third clamping point.
- the frictional drive of the screen element creates a slight slip, so that the screen element has a lower speed than the output roller pair. This circumstance also contributes to the fact that a bundling of the fiber structure or an integration of protruding fiber ends in the fiber structure becomes possible.
- the suction opening is advantageously arranged in a flat surface of the suction tube in the fiber bundling zone.
- the suction opening can be arranged in a curved surface of the suction tube in the fiber bundling zone, the curvature being less than 0.04 1/mm.
- the flat surface of the suction pipe is preferably inclined at an angle of 45° to 75°, preferably 62° to 65°, to a perpendicular to the direction of travel with respect to the plane of the drawing field.
- a tangent in the third clamping point on the curved surface of the suction tube is inclined to a perpendicular to the direction of travel by an angle of 45° to 75°, preferably 62° to 65° to the plane of the stretching field.
- the fiber bundle moves between the second and third clamping point through the fiber bundling zone over the screen element guided on the suction pipe. Due to the difference in speed between the second and third clamping point, the fiber bundle sags slightly.
- the fiber structure follows not exactly on the surface of the output top roller but moves in the direction of the suction pipe after leaving the second nip. With a corresponding inclination of the surface of the suction tube, this movement is absorbed in such a way that the protruding fiber ends can rest against the fiber structure due to the air flow.
- a radial distance between the output bottom roller and the screen element lying against the suction pipe is 0.4 mm to 2.0 mm.
- the slit-shaped suction opening is arranged in a longitudinal extent inclined within ⁇ 15 degrees to the running direction.
- the arrangement of the slit-shaped suction opening in the running direction of the fiber structure is particularly preferred.
- the bundling of the fibers should not take place through a movement of the fiber structure transversely to its running direction. Only the fibers or fiber ends protruding from the fiber structure should be nestled against the fiber structure. A movement of the entire fiber structure transverse to the running direction is not necessary for this.
- the suction pipe protrudes less than 5 mm beyond the third clamping point in a running direction of the sieve element.
- the shortest possible guidance of the fiber structure through the screen element after the third Terminal point results in advantages for the geometric arrangement of the subsequent spinning device. This also minimizes the risk of the fiber structure shifting laterally on the sieve element and thus damage to the previously bundled fiber structure.
- the top exit roller has a curtain opposite the bottom exit roller in the drafting field plane, viewed in the direction of travel. It is also advantageous if the curtain, measured in the drafting zone, is between 2 mm and 15 mm and/or the ratio of the diameter of the top roller to the diameter of the bottom roller is 1.4 to 2.5, preferably 1.79 for one diameter the output top roll of 50 mm and a diameter of the output bottom roll of 28 mm.
- the curtain of the upper exit roller opposite the lower exit roller enables the third nip to be located close to the second nip. The enlargement of the upper exit roller compared to the lower exit roller improves the spatial arrangement of the fiber bundling zone.
- a method for compressing a fiber structure consisting of individual fibers in a spinning machine with at least a first pair of rollers consisting of an upper roller and a lower roller, and with a second pair of rollers consisting of an output upper roller and an output lower roller, with a first nip point being formed by the first pair of rollers and a second nip point can be defined by the second pair of rollers, and the first nip point and the second nip point form a drafting field plane through which the fiber strand runs in a direction from the first nip point to the second nip point, and with a fiber compression zone downstream of the pair of output rollers for the compression of the stretched fiber structure, which has a pneumatic compression device with a fiber bundling zone and with a looped by a screen element and having a suckable suction tube, wherein the fiber bundling zone is delimited by the second nip and a third nip, wherein the third
- the fiber structure is guided through the sieve element via the suction opening to the third clamping point and the individual fibers are caught by the third clamping point before leaving the second clamping point, with fiber ends protruding from the fiber structure being laid against the fiber structure when the suction opening is passed. It is advantageous if the majority of the fibers are not transported from the second clamping point to the third clamping point by the sieve element without being clamped. Due to the arrangement of the suction opening immediately after the second clamping point, the protruding fiber ends are caught by the air flow after leaving the second clamping point and the fiber structure is created, while the front end of the corresponding fiber is already held by the third clamping point.
- the fiber ends move through the free space in the fiber bundling zone after leaving the second clamping point before they meet the screen element. This makes it possible for the fiber ends to be moved freely from the fiber structure and therefore only small forces are required to apply protruding fibers or fiber ends to the fiber structure.
- FIG 1 shows a schematic representation of a longitudinal section of a spinning machine according to the prior art, in particular a ring spinning machine. Shown are examples of individual components of the spinning machine, namely a drafting system 2 and a spinning device 14.
- the drafting system 2 consists of three pairs of rollers, an input roller pair 5, a pair of apron rollers 64 and an output roller pair 9.
- the pair of apron rollers 6 is formed by an upper roller 7 and a lower roller 8
- the exit roller pair 9 is formed by an exit upper roller 10 and an exit lower roller 11.
- the two rollers of a roller pair are pressed against each other and form a nip at their point of contact, with the nip point K1 being formed by the upper roller 7 and the lower roller 8 and the nip point K2 being formed by the pair of exit rollers 9 is formed between the output top roller 10 and the output bottom roller 11.
- the fiber structure 1 entering the drafting system 2 runs through the drafting system 2 in the running direction 3 and is thereby clamped between the rollers of the roller pairs 3, 4 and 5 by the clamping points. Due to the different speeds of the roller pairs 3, 4 and 5, the fiber structure 1 is stretched. In this case, the clamping points K1 and K2 form a stretching field plane 4 .
- the fiber structure 1 is transported through the drafting system 2 at the same time.
- the drafted fiber structure 12 reaches a thread guide 13 and is then conveyed to the spinning device 14.
- the spinning device 14 consists essentially of a ring rail 18, which carries the spinning ring 16, and a spindle rail 19, on which the bobbin 17 is attached is.
- the fiber bandage 12 reaches the bobbin 17 via a runner 15.
- the bobbin 17 is set in rotation, with the result that the runner 15 is also set in rotation by the fiber structure 12 on the spinning ring 16. Due to the different rotational speed of the bobbin 17 and the rotor 15, the fiber structure 12 is rotated and a yarn is thereby formed which is wound onto the bobbin 17 by moving the ring rail 18 up and down.
- FIG 2 shows a schematic representation of a longitudinal section of an embodiment according to the invention of a compression device of the drafting system.
- the apron roller pair 6, consisting of an upper roller 7 and a lower roller 8 forms a first nip K1.
- the fiber strand 1 to be drawn is guided in the running direction 3 by the pairs of rollers 6 and 9 through the drafting system.
- the pairs of rollers 6 and 9 form a drawing zone plane 4 through their clamping points K1 and K2.
- the upper exit roller 10 has a curtain A of preferably 10 mm in its arrangement opposite the lower exit roller 11 in the drafting zone plane 4 seen in the running direction 3 .
- the upper exit roller 10 has a diameter E which is greater than the diameter F of the lower exit roller 11, with a ratio of the diameter E of the upper exit roller 10 to the diameter F of the lower exit roller 11 preferably being 1.79. Because of these specific geometric relationships between the output top roller 10 and the output bottom roller 11, ideal conditions for the formation of a fiber bundling zone 20 are created.
- a suction pipe 21 is arranged downstream of the pair of output rollers 9 .
- the suction tube 21 is wrapped by a sieve element 22 which is designed as an endless belt and is guided over a deflection 25 .
- the screen element 22 forms a third clamping point K3 for the drawn fiber structure with the output top roller 10 .
- the shape of the intake manifold 21 is shown as a triangle by way of example.
- a nip length B is formed from the second nip point K2 to the third nip point K3 along a surface of the output top roller 10, which is less than an average staple length of the fiber structure 1 to be drawn.
- the suction pipe 21 has a suction opening 24 in this fiber bundling zone 20.
- the suction opening 24 is formed as a slit-shaped opening in the wall of the suction pipe 21.
- the suction pipe 21 is connected to a vacuum source (not shown), which causes air to be sucked out of the fiber bundling zone 20 via the suction opening 24 and thus also through the screen element 22 sliding over the suction opening 24 .
- the resulting air flow pulls the stretched fiber structure towards the screen element 22, with individual fibers or fiber parts protruding from the stretched fiber structure being conveyed to the suction opening 24 and thus clinging to the stretched fiber structure.
- the individual fibers of the fiber structure are mostly held either by the second clamping point K2 or the third clamping point K3 due to the short clamping length B, so that only the free ends of the fibers are tied into the fiber structure.
- the arrangement of the slit-shaped suction opening 24 from one end of the suction tube 21 facing the second clamping point K2 in the direction of the third clamping point K3 also causes the fiber ends to be immediately gripped by the suction effect after leaving the second clamping point K2.
- the suction tube 21 has a flat surface towards the fiber bundling zone 20 which is inclined at an angle ⁇ of 62° towards the drawing field plane 4 with respect to a perpendicular to the drawing field plane 4 .
- the screen element 22 which runs around the suction tube 21 is arranged at a distance C of 1.0 mm from the bottom roller 11 at the exit. This forms a fiber bundling zone 20 closed by the upper exit roller 10, the lower exit roller 11 and the suction pipe 21, so that the majority of the ambient air sucked in through the suction opening 24 is sucked in from the side, i.e. transversely to the direction of movement of the fiber structure, into the fiber bundling zone 20.
- the screen element 22 is set in motion by the output top roller 10 via the resulting frictional force in the third clamping point K3, as a result of which the drafted fiber structure is fed from the fiber bundling zone 20 to the third clamping point K3.
- the compacted fiber strand 23 then leaves the screen element 22, and the aim is for the suction pipe 21 to overhang as little as possible beyond the third clamping point K3.
- the compacted fiber strand 23 is transferred to the spinning device 14 or to the thread guide 13 of the spinning machine that is upstream of the spinning device 14 (see FIG figure 1 ).
- the geometry of the suction pipe 21 makes it possible to maintain the inlet geometry necessary for the spinning device 14 to function properly, despite the additional arrangement of the compression device.
- FIG figure 3 shows a schematic representation of a plan view in direction X according to FIG figure 2 .
- the output top roller 10 is indicated, so that the screen element 22 running around the suction pipe 21 can be seen.
- a slit-shaped suction opening 24 with a length L is provided in the suction pipe 21 located below the sieve element 22 .
- the fiber structure 23 running over the screen element 22 shows protruding fiber ends in the area the end of the suction opening 24 which faces the bottom roller 11 at the exit. In the course of the suction opening 24 in the direction of travel 3 , the protruding fiber ends are applied to the fiber structure 23 by the action of the ambient air which is directed towards the suction opening 24 transversely to the direction of travel 3 .

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Streckwerk mit einer Vorrichtung zur Verdichtung von verstreckten Faserbändern in einer Spinnmaschine und ein entsprechendes Verfahren.The present invention relates to a drafting system with a device for compressing drafted slivers in a spinning machine and a corresponding method.
Streckwerke für Spinnmaschinen umfassen zumindest zwei Walzenpaare zwischen denen ein Faserverband aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Drehzahlen der Walzenpaare verstreckt wird. Das Walzenpaar nach welchem der verstreckte Faserverband das Streckwerk verlässt und einer Spinnvorrichtung zugeführt wird, wird als Ausgangswalzenpaar bezeichnet. Das Ausgangswalzenpaar besteht aus einer Ausgangsoberwalze und einer Ausgangsunterwalze, welche eine Klemmstelle bilden durch welche der Faserverband gefördert wird. Vorrichtungen zur Verdichtung des verstreckten Faserverbandes werden nach dem Ausgangswalzenpaar angeordnet, dabei kommen mechanische wie auch pneumatische Verdichtungsvorrichtungen zum Einsatz.Drafting devices for spinning machines comprise at least two pairs of rollers between which a fiber structure is drawn due to the different speeds of the pairs of rollers. The pair of rollers after which the drafted fiber structure leaves the drafting system and is fed to a spinning device is referred to as the pair of exit rollers. The pair of output rollers consists of an output upper roller and an output lower roller, which form a nip through which the fiber strand is conveyed. Devices for compressing the stretched fiber structure are arranged after the exit roller pair, mechanical as well as pneumatic compression devices are used.
Gattungsgemäße Vorrichtungen sind im Stand der Technik bekannt und kommen immer dann zum Einsatz, wenn ein Faserband nach einem Verstreckungsvorgang in einer Spinnmaschine verdichtet werden muss. Beschrieben ist eine entsprechende Vorrichtung beispielsweise in der
Nachteilig an der vorgeschlagenen Vorrichtung ist, dass in der Verdichtungszone die einzelnen Fasern des Faserverbandes in diesen eingebunden werden sollen und zu diesem Zweck die Fasern in ihrer gesamten Länge ohne gehalten zu werden über das perforierte Transportmittel quer zu Förderrichtung mit Hilfe einer Luftströmung bewegt werden, was ebenfalls zu einem Verlust der durch das Streckwerk bestimmten Streckung des Faserverbandes führen kann. Die Förderung des Faserverbandes erfolgt durch das Transportmittel, die zweite Klemmstelle dient lediglich dazu, zu verhindern, dass eine Garndrehung des Faserverbandes sich in die Verdichtungszone hinein fortpflanzen kann.A disadvantage of the proposed device is that in the compression zone the individual fibers of the fiber structure are to be bound into it and for this purpose the fibers are moved in their entire length without being held via the perforated transport means transversely to the conveying direction with the aid of an air flow, which can also lead to a loss of the stretching of the fiber structure determined by the drafting system. The fiber structure is conveyed by the transport means, the second clamping point only serves to prevent a yarn twist of the fiber structure from being able to propagate into the compression zone.
Aus der
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Verdichtung des Faserverbandes durch eine Bündelung der Fasern zu erreichen und hierzu eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, welche sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass Fasern an den Faserverband angeschmiegt werden ohne die einzelnen Fasern quer zur Laufrichtung über ein Transportmittel zu bewegen.The object of the present invention is to achieve compression of the fiber structure by bundling the fibers and to create a device for this purpose which is characterized in that fibers are nestled against the fiber structure without moving the individual fibers transversely to the direction of travel via a transport means.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Streckwerk und ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Patentansprüche.The object is achieved by a drafting system and a method with the features of the independent patent claims.
Vorgeschlagen wird ein Streckwerk für eine Spinnmaschine zum Verstrecken eines Faserverbandes mit zumindest einem ersten Walzenpaar, bestehend aus einer Oberwalze und einer Unterwalze, und mit einem zweiten Walzenpaar bestehend aus einer Ausgangsoberwalze und einer Ausgangsunterwalze, wobei eine erste Klemmstelle durch das erste Walzenpaar und eine zweite Klemmstelle durch das zweite Walzenpaar definiert ist. Die erste Klemmstelle und die zweite Klemmstelle bilden eine Streckfeldebene aus, welche vom Faserverband in einer Laufrichtung von der ersten Klemmstelle zur zweiten Klemmstelle durchlaufen wird. Das Streckwerk umfasst eine dem Ausgangswalzenpaar nachgeordneten Faserverdichtungszone zur Verdichtung des verstreckten Faserverbandes, welche eine pneumatische Verdichtungsvorrichtung mit einer Faserbündelungszone und mit einem von einem Siebelement umschlungenen und besaugbaren Saugrohr aufweist. Die Faserbündelungszone ist durch die zweite Klemmstelle und eine dritte Klemmstelle begrenzt, wobei die dritte Klemmstelle durch die Ausgangsoberwalze und das Siebelement gebildet ist. Das Saugrohr weist eine schlitzförmige Saugöffnung mit einer Länge von 2,0 mm bis 5,0 mm auf, welche in der Faserbündelungszone angeordnet ist, wobei die schlitzförmige Saugöffnung im Saugrohr von einem der zweiten Klemmstelle zugewandten Ende des Saugrohres in Richtung der dritten Klemmstelle angeordnet ist.Proposed is a drafting system for a spinning machine for drafting a fiber structure with at least a first pair of rollers consisting of an upper roller and a lower roller, and with a second pair of rollers consisting of an output upper roller and an output lower roller, with a first nip point being formed by the first pair of rollers and a second nip point is defined by the second pair of rollers. The first nipping point and the second nipping point form a drafting field plane, which is traversed by the fiber structure in a running direction from the first nipping point to the second nipping point. The drafting system comprises a fiber compression zone downstream of the pair of output rollers for compression of the drafted fiber bundle, which has a pneumatic compression device with a fiber bundling zone and with a suction pipe wrapped around by a screen element and capable of being sucked out. The fiber bundling zone is delimited by the second nip and a third nip, the third nip being formed by the exit top roller and the screen element. The suction pipe has a slit-shaped suction opening with a length of 2.0 mm to 5.0 mm, which is arranged in the fiber bundling zone, the slit-shaped suction opening in the suction pipe being arranged from one end of the suction pipe facing the second clamping point in the direction of the third clamping point .
Die durch die Saugöffnung angesaugte Umgebungsluft führt dazu, dass einzelne vom Faserverband abstehende Fasern zur Saugöffnung bewegt werden und damit eine Bündelung des Faserverbandes erfolgt. Im Vergleich zur herkömmlichen pneumatischen Verdichtung, bei welcher der Faserverband auf einem Siebelement quer zu seiner Laufrichtung bewegt und dadurch die Fasern zusammengeschoben werden, werden bei einer Faserbündelung nur vom Faserverband abstehende Faserteile respektive Faserenden an den Faserverband herangeführt ohne dass der Faserverband aus seiner Laufrichtung ausgelenkt wird. In einem derartigen Verfahren einer Faserbündelung werden die Faserenden durch eine pneumatische Saugströmung zum Faserverband geführt und in der dritten Klemmstelle an den Faserverband angelegt. Das Saugrohr und damit das Siebelement werden vorteilhafterweise möglichst nahe an die zweite Klemmstelle herangeführt. Dadurch werden Faserteile respektive Faserenden, welche vom Faserverband abstehen, unmittelbar nach Verlassen der zweiten Klemmstelle von der Luftströmung erfasst und an den Faserverband angelegt.The ambient air sucked in through the suction opening means that individual fibers protruding from the fiber structure are moved to the suction opening and the fiber structure is thus bundled. Compared to conventional pneumatic compaction, in which the fiber structure is moved on a screen element transversely to its running direction and the fibers are thus pushed together, with fiber bundling only fiber parts or fiber ends protruding from the fiber structure are brought up to the fiber structure without the fiber structure being deflected from its running direction . In such a fiber bundling method, the fiber ends are guided to the fiber structure by a pneumatic suction flow and applied to the fiber structure in the third clamping point. The suction tube and thus the screen element are advantageously brought as close as possible to the second clamping point. As a result, fiber parts or fiber ends that protrude from the fiber structure are caught by the air flow immediately after leaving the second clamping point and placed against the fiber structure.
Ein Abstand von der zweiten Klemmstelle zur dritten Klemmstelle entlang einer Oberfläche der Ausgangsoberwalze ist geringer als eine mittlere Stapellänge des zu verstreckenden Faserverbandes. Dadurch werden die meisten im Faserverband enthaltenen Fasern immer entweder in der zweiten Klemmstelle oder in der dritten Klemmstelle gehalten. Der Faserverband wird dabei definiert von der zweiten zur dritten Klemmstelle transportiert. In der Faserbündelungszone werden damit lediglich die vom Faserverband abstehenden Faserteile in den Faserstrang gebracht. Durch den Luftstrom wird erreicht, dass vom Faserverband abstehende Faserteile respektive Faserenden zum Faserverband hingeführt werden, wobei der Faserverband selbst nicht direkt durch das Siebelement transportiert, sondern durch die Klemmstellen gehalten die Faserbündelungszone durchläuft. Dadurch wird die sogenannte Haarigkeit des Faserverbandes beseitigt und die Haare in den Faserverband eingebunden. Ebenfalls wird durch die ständige Klemmung zumindest eines Faserendes verhindert, dass der Faserverband die im Streckwerk aufgebrachte Streckung während des Durchlaufens der Faserbündelungszone wieder verliert oder teilweise verlieren kann.A distance from the second nip point to the third nip point along a surface of the output top roller is less than an average staple length of the fiber structure to be drawn. As a result, most of the fibers contained in the fiber structure are always held either in the second clamping point or in the third clamping point. The fiber bundle is transported in a defined manner from the second to the third clamping point. In the fiber bundling zone, only the fiber parts protruding from the fiber structure are brought into the fiber strand. The air flow ensures that fiber parts or fiber ends protruding from the fiber structure are guided to the fiber structure, with the fiber structure itself not being transported directly through the screen element, but instead passing through the fiber bundling zone held by the clamping points. As a result, the so-called hairiness of the fiber structure is eliminated and the hair is bound into the fiber structure. The constant clamping of at least one fiber end also prevents the fiber structure from losing or partially losing the stretching applied in the drafting system while passing through the fiber bundling zone.
Durch die dritte Klemmstelle wird zudem das Siebelement durch die Ausgangsoberwalze angetrieben. Durch den Reibantrieb des Siebelementes entsteht ein geringfügiger Schlupf, sodass das Siebelement eine geringere Geschwindigkeit aufweist als das Ausgangswalzenpaar. Auch dieser Umstand trägt dazu bei, dass eine Bündelung des Faserverbandes, respektive eine Einbindung von abstehenden Faserenden in den Faserverband möglich wird.The screen element is also driven by the output top roller through the third clamping point. The frictional drive of the screen element creates a slight slip, so that the screen element has a lower speed than the output roller pair. This circumstance also contributes to the fact that a bundling of the fiber structure or an integration of protruding fiber ends in the fiber structure becomes possible.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Saugöffnung in einer ebenen Fläche des Saugrohres in der Faserbündelungszone angeordnet. Alternativ dazu kann die Saugöffnung in einer gekrümmten Fläche des Saugrohres in der Faserbündelungszone angeordnet sein, wobei die Krümmung kleiner als 0,04 1/mm beträgt. Durch eine derartige Ausbildung des Saugrohres in der Faserbündelungszone wird eine Minimierung einer Umlenkung des Faserverbandes zwischen der zweiten und dritten Klemmstelle erreicht.The suction opening is advantageously arranged in a flat surface of the suction tube in the fiber bundling zone. As an alternative to this, the suction opening can be arranged in a curved surface of the suction tube in the fiber bundling zone, the curvature being less than 0.04 1/mm. Such a design of the suction pipe in the fiber bundling zone minimizes the deflection of the fiber structure between the second and third clamping point.
Bevorzugterweise ist die ebene Fläche des Saugrohres zu einer Senkrechten zur Laufrichtung um einen Winkel von 45° bis 75°, bevorzugterweise 62° bis 65° gegen die Streckfeldebene geneigt. Entsprechend ist bei einer gekrümmten Fläche des Saugrohres eine Tangente in der dritten Klemmstelle an die gekrümmte Fläche des Saugrohres zu einer Senkrechten zur Laufrichtung um einen Winkel von 45° bis 75°, bevorzugterweise 62° bis 65° gegen die Streckfeldebene geneigt. Der Faserverband bewegt sich zwischen der zweiten und dritten Klemmstelle durch die Faserbündelungszone über das auf dem Saugrohr geführte Siebelement. Durch den Geschwindigkeitsunterschied zwischen der zweiten und dritten Klemmstelle ergibt sich ein geringfügiger Durchhang des Faserverbandes. Das heißt der Faserverband folgt nicht exakt der Oberfläche der Ausgangsoberwalze sondern bewegt sich nach Verlassen der zweiten Klemmstelle in Richtung des Saugrohres. Diese Bewegung wird bei einer entsprechenden Neigung der Fläche des Saugrohres derart aufgefangen, dass sich die abstehenden Faserenden bedingt durch die Luftströmung an den Faserverband anlegen können.The flat surface of the suction pipe is preferably inclined at an angle of 45° to 75°, preferably 62° to 65°, to a perpendicular to the direction of travel with respect to the plane of the drawing field. Correspondingly, with a curved surface of the suction tube, a tangent in the third clamping point on the curved surface of the suction tube is inclined to a perpendicular to the direction of travel by an angle of 45° to 75°, preferably 62° to 65° to the plane of the stretching field. The fiber bundle moves between the second and third clamping point through the fiber bundling zone over the screen element guided on the suction pipe. Due to the difference in speed between the second and third clamping point, the fiber bundle sags slightly. That means the fiber structure follows not exactly on the surface of the output top roller but moves in the direction of the suction pipe after leaving the second nip. With a corresponding inclination of the surface of the suction tube, this movement is absorbed in such a way that the protruding fiber ends can rest against the fiber structure due to the air flow.
Vorteilhafterweise beträgt ein radialer Abstand zwischen der Ausgangsunterwalze und dem am Saugrohr anliegenden Siebelement 0,4 mm bis 2,0 mm. Durch eine möglichst nahe Anordnung des Saugrohres respektive Siebelementes an der Ausgangsunterwalze wird die Faserbündelungszone, welche durch die Oberflächen der Ausgangsunterwalze und der Ausgangsoberwalze sowie dem Siebelement respektive Saugrohr gebildet ist, in einer Ebene geschlossen. Die durch die Saugöffnung angesaugte Umgebungsluft wird damit quer zur Laufrichtung des Faserverbandes angesaugt. Dadurch kann die Bündelungswirkung verstärkt werden. Zudem wird der Einfluss des durch die sich schnell drehenden Ausgangsunterwalze hervorgerufenen Luftstromes auf die Laufrichtung des Faserverbandes umgelenkt werden.Advantageously, a radial distance between the output bottom roller and the screen element lying against the suction pipe is 0.4 mm to 2.0 mm. By arranging the suction pipe or screen element as close as possible to the bottom exit roller, the fiber bundling zone, which is formed by the surfaces of the bottom exit roller and the top exit roller and the screen element or suction pipe, is closed in one plane. The ambient air sucked in through the suction opening is thus sucked in transversely to the running direction of the fiber structure. This can increase the bundling effect. In addition, the influence of the air flow caused by the rapidly rotating lower exit roller on the running direction of the fiber structure is deflected.
Weiterhin ist es von Vorteil, wenn die schlitzförmige Saugöffnung in einer Längsausdehnung innerhalb von ± 15 Winkelgraden geneigt zur Laufrichtung angeordnet ist. Besonders bevorzugt ist die Anordnung der schlitzförmigen Saugöffnung in der Laufrichtung des Faserverbandes. Die Faserbündelung soll nicht durch eine Bewegung des Faserverbandes quer zu dessen Laufrichtung erfolgen. Es sollen lediglich die vom Faserverband abstehenden Fasern respektive Faserenden an den Faserverband angeschmiegt werden. Eine Bewegung des gesamten Faserverbandes quer zur Laufrichtung ist hierzu nicht notwendig.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the slit-shaped suction opening is arranged in a longitudinal extent inclined within ±15 degrees to the running direction. The arrangement of the slit-shaped suction opening in the running direction of the fiber structure is particularly preferred. The bundling of the fibers should not take place through a movement of the fiber structure transversely to its running direction. Only the fibers or fiber ends protruding from the fiber structure should be nestled against the fiber structure. A movement of the entire fiber structure transverse to the running direction is not necessary for this.
Vorteilhafterweise kragt das Saugrohr in einer Laufrichtung des Siebelelements weniger als 5 mm über die dritte Klemmstelle aus. Eine möglichst kurze Führung des Faserverbandes durch das Siebelement nach der dritten Klemmstelle ergibt Vorteile für die geometrische Anordnung der nachfolgenden Spinnvorrichtung. Auch kann dadurch die Gefahr einer seitlichen Verschiebung des Faserverbandes auf dem Siebelement und damit eine Schädigung des zuvor gebündelten Faserverbandes minimiert werden.Advantageously, the suction pipe protrudes less than 5 mm beyond the third clamping point in a running direction of the sieve element. The shortest possible guidance of the fiber structure through the screen element after the third Terminal point results in advantages for the geometric arrangement of the subsequent spinning device. This also minimizes the risk of the fiber structure shifting laterally on the sieve element and thus damage to the previously bundled fiber structure.
Bevorzugterweise weist die Ausgangsoberwalze in der Streckfeldebene in Laufrichtung gesehen einen Vorhang gegenüber der Ausgangsunterwalze auf. Ebenso ist es von Vorteil, wenn der Vorhang, gemessen in der Streckfeldebene, zwischen 2 mm und 15 mm und/oder das Verhältnis des Durchmessers der Ausgangsoberwalze zum Durchmesser der Ausgangsunterwalze 1,4 bis 2,5, bevorzugterweise 1,79 beträgt bei einem Durchmesser der Ausgangsoberwalze von 50 mm und einem Durchmesser der Ausgangsunterwalze von 28 mm. Der Vorhang der Ausgangsoberwalze gegenüber der Ausgangsunterwalze ermöglicht eine Anordnung der dritten Klemmstelle nahe der zweiten Klemmstelle. Durch die Vergrößerung der Ausgangsoberwalze gegenüber der Ausgangsunterwalze wird eine Verbesserung der räumlichen Anordnung der Faserbündelungszone erreicht.Preferably, the top exit roller has a curtain opposite the bottom exit roller in the drafting field plane, viewed in the direction of travel. It is also advantageous if the curtain, measured in the drafting zone, is between 2 mm and 15 mm and/or the ratio of the diameter of the top roller to the diameter of the bottom roller is 1.4 to 2.5, preferably 1.79 for one diameter the output top roll of 50 mm and a diameter of the output bottom roll of 28 mm. The curtain of the upper exit roller opposite the lower exit roller enables the third nip to be located close to the second nip. The enlargement of the upper exit roller compared to the lower exit roller improves the spatial arrangement of the fiber bundling zone.
Weiter wird ein Verfahren zur Verdichtung eines aus Einzelfasern bestehender Faserverbandes in einer Spinnereimaschine vorgeschlagen mit zumindest einem ersten Walzenpaar bestehend aus einer Oberwalze und einer Unterwalze, und mit einem zweiten Walzenpaar bestehend aus einer Ausgangsoberwalze und einer Ausgangsunterwalze, wobei eine erste Klemmstelle durch das erste Walzenpaar und eine zweite Klemmstelle durch das zweite Walzenpaar definiert werden, und durch die erste Klemmstelle und die zweite Klemmstelle eine Streckfeldebene ausgebildet wird, welche vom Faserverband in einer Laufrichtung von der ersten Klemmstelle zur zweiten Klemmstelle durchlaufen wird, und mit einer dem Ausgangswalzenpaar nachgeordneten Faserverdichtungszone zur Verdichtung des verstreckten Faserverbandes, welche eine pneumatische Verdichtungsvorrichtung mit einer Faserbündelungszone und mit einem von einem Siebelement umschlungenen und besaugbaren Saugrohr aufweist, wobei die Faserbündelungszone durch die zweite Klemmstellen und eine dritte Klemmstelle begrenzt wird, wobei die dritte Klemmstelle durch die Ausgangsoberwalze und das Siebelement gebildet wird. Der Faserverband wird nach der zweiten Klemmstelle durch das Siebelement über die Saugöffnung zur dritten Klemmstelle geführt und die einzelnen Fasern vor Verlassen der zweiten Klemmstelle durch die dritte Klemmstelle erfasst, wobei aus dem Faserverband abstehende Faserenden beim Überfahren der Saugöffnung an den Faserverband angelegt werden. Dabei ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Mehrheit der Fasern nicht frei von einer Klemmung vom Siebelement von der zweiten Klemmstelle zur dritten Klemmstelle transportiert wird. Durch die Anordnung der Saugöffnung unmittelbar nach der zweiten Klemmstelle werden die abstehenden Faserenden nach Verlassen der zweiten Klemmstelle durch die Luftströmung erfasst und den Faserverband angelegt, währenddessen das vordere Ende der entsprechenden Faser bereits durch die dritte Klemmstelle gehalten wird.Furthermore, a method for compressing a fiber structure consisting of individual fibers in a spinning machine is proposed, with at least a first pair of rollers consisting of an upper roller and a lower roller, and with a second pair of rollers consisting of an output upper roller and an output lower roller, with a first nip point being formed by the first pair of rollers and a second nip point can be defined by the second pair of rollers, and the first nip point and the second nip point form a drafting field plane through which the fiber strand runs in a direction from the first nip point to the second nip point, and with a fiber compression zone downstream of the pair of output rollers for the compression of the stretched fiber structure, which has a pneumatic compression device with a fiber bundling zone and with a looped by a screen element and having a suckable suction tube, wherein the fiber bundling zone is delimited by the second nip and a third nip, wherein the third nip is formed by the exit top roller and the screen element. After the second clamping point, the fiber structure is guided through the sieve element via the suction opening to the third clamping point and the individual fibers are caught by the third clamping point before leaving the second clamping point, with fiber ends protruding from the fiber structure being laid against the fiber structure when the suction opening is passed. It is advantageous if the majority of the fibers are not transported from the second clamping point to the third clamping point by the sieve element without being clamped. Due to the arrangement of the suction opening immediately after the second clamping point, the protruding fiber ends are caught by the air flow after leaving the second clamping point and the fiber structure is created, while the front end of the corresponding fiber is already held by the third clamping point.
Bevorzugterweise wird durch eine Neigung des Siebelementes entgegen der Laufrichtung gesehen gegen die Streckfeldebene erreicht, dass sich die Faserenden nach dem Verlassen der zweiten Klemmstelle durch den freien Raum in der Faserbündelungszone bewegen bevor sie auf das Siebelement treffen. Dadurch wird ermöglicht, dass die Faserenden frei vom Faserverband bewegt werden und deshalb nur geringe Kräfte notwendig sind um abstehende Fasern respektive Faserenden an den Faserverband anzulegen.Preferably, by tilting the screen element against the running direction towards the drawing field plane, the fiber ends move through the free space in the fiber bundling zone after leaving the second clamping point before they meet the screen element. This makes it possible for the fiber ends to be moved freely from the fiber structure and therefore only small forces are required to apply protruding fibers or fiber ends to the fiber structure.

Nachfolgend an das Ausgangswalzenpaar 9 ist ein Saugrohr 21 angeordnet. Das Saugrohr 21 wird von einem Siebelement 22 umschlungen, welches als Endlos-Band ausgeführt ist und über eine Umlenkung 25 geführt ist. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel bildet das Siebelement 22 mit der Ausgangsoberwalze 10 eine dritte Klemmstelle K3 für den verstreckten Faserverband. Die Form des Saugrohres 21 ist beispielhaft als ein Dreieck dargestellt.A
Zwischen der zweiten Klemmstelle K2 und der dritten Klemmstelle K3 durchläuft der verstreckte Faserverband die Faserbündelungszone 20. Die Faserbündelungszone 20 bezeichnet den Raum, welcher durch die Ausgangsoberwalze 10, die Ausgangsunterwalze 11 und das Saugrohr 21 umschlossen wird. Dabei wird von der zweiten Klemmstelle K2 zur dritten Klemmstelle K3 entlang einer Oberfläche der Ausgangsoberwalze 10 eine Klemmlänge B ausgebildet, welche geringer ist als eine mittlere Stapellänge des zu verstreckenden Faserverbandes 1. Das Saugrohr 21 weist in dieser Faserbündelungszone 20 eine Saugöffnung 24 auf. Die Saugöffnung 24 ist als schlitzförmiger Durchbruch in der Wandung des Saugrohres 21 ausgeformt. Das Saugrohr 21 ist an eine Unterdruckquelle (nicht gezeigt) angeschlossen, dies bewirkt, dass über die Saugöffnung 24 und damit auch durch das über die Saugöffnung 24 gleitende Siebelement 22 Luft aus der Faserbündelungszone 20 angesaugt wird. Durch die entstehende Luftströmung wird der verstreckte Faserverband an das Siebelement 22 herangezogen, wobei einzelne vom verstreckten Faserverband abstehende Fasern oder Faserteile zur Saugöffnung 24 gefördert und damit an den verstreckten Faserverband angeschmiegt werden. Während dieses Anschmiegevorganges werden die einzelnen Fasern des Faserverbandes aufgrund der kurzen Klemmlänge B mehrheitlich entweder durch die zweite Klemmstelle K2 oder die dritte Klemmstelle K3 gehalten, sodass nur die freistehenden Enden der Fasern in den Faserverband eingebunden werden. Ebenfalls bewirkt durch die Anordnung der schlitzförmigen Saugöffnung 24 von einem der zweiten Klemmstelle K2 zugewandten Ende des Saugrohres 21 in Richtung der dritten Klemmstelle K3, dass die Faserenden nach Verlassen der zweiten Klemmstelle K2 unmittelbar von der Saugwirkung erfasst werden.Between the second nip point K2 and the third nip point K3, the drafted fiber strand passes through the
Weiter zeigt das Saugrohr 21 gegen die Faserbündelungszone 20 eine ebene Fläche welche zu einer Senkrechten der Streckfeldebene 4 mit einem Winkel α von 62° gegen die Streckfeldebene 4 geneigt ist. Das Siebelement 22 welches das Saugrohr 21 umläuft ist mit einem Abstand C von 1.0 mm zur Ausgangsunterwalze 11 angeordnet. Dadurch wird eine durch die Ausgangsoberwalze 10, die Ausgangsunterwalze 11 und das Saugrohr 21 geschlossene Faserbündelungszone 20 gebildet, sodass die durch die Saugöffnung 24 angesaugte Umgebungsluft mehrheitlich von der Seite, also quer zur Bewegungsrichtung des Faserverbandes in die Faserbündelungszone 20 angesaugt wird.Furthermore, the
Das Siebelement 22 wird von der Ausgangsoberwalze 10 über die entstehende Reibkraft in der dritten Klemmstelle K3 in Bewegung versetzt, wodurch der verstreckte Faserverband aus der Faserbündelungszone 20 der dritten Klemmstelle K3 zugeführt wird. Der verdichtete Faserverband 23 verlässt anschließend das Siebelement 22, dabei wird eine möglichst geringe Auskragung des Saugrohres 21 über die dritte Klemmstelle K3 hinaus angestrebt. Der verdichtete Faserverband 23 wird an die Spinnvorrichtung 14 respektive den der Spinnvorrichtung 14 vorgelagerten Fadenführer 13 der Spinnmaschine übergeben (siehe
