Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a yarn winding machine and a yarn threading method.
  • a supply device provided to the doffing carrier may supply a bobbin to a pair of bobbin holders provided to the winding device, and also, a yarn threading device provided to the doffing carrier may thread yarn onto the bobbin (see Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-225092 , for example).
  • a yarn winding machine includes: a winding device including a pair of bobbin holders configured to hold a bobbin and a cradle configured to support the pair of bobbin holders; an operating device configured to operate the cradle to open and close the pair of bobbin holders; a supply device configured to supply the bobbin to the pair of bobbin holders; a yarn threading device configured to catch yarn and thread the yarn onto the bobbin; and a control unit configured to control the operating device, the supply device, and the yarn threading device.
  • the control unit is configured to perform a first control when a first-type error that occurs after a catching operation of the yarn threading device to catch the yarn has been detected in a state in which a first bobbin as the bobbin has been supplied to the pair of bobbin holders, the first control performed to control the operating device, the supply device, and the yarn threading device such that the first bobbin is discharged from the pair of bobbin holders, a second bobbin as the bobbin is supplied to the pair of bobbin holders, and the yarn is threaded onto the second bobbin.
  • the control unit is configured to perform a second control when a second-type error that occurs before the catching operation or during the catching operation has been detected in a state in which the first bobbin has been supplied to the pair of bobbin holders, the second control performed to control the operating device, the supply device, and the yarn threading device such that the yarn is threaded onto the first bobbin while the state in which the first bobbin has been supplied to the pair of bobbin holders is being maintained.
  • the bobbin can be replaced without intervention of an operator, and this replacement of the bobbin can prevent a package, including unnecessary yarn, from being formed. Furthermore, when the second-type error that occurs before the catching operation of the yarn threading device to catch yarn or during the catching operation has been detected, yarn is threaded onto the first bobbin while the state in which the first bobbin has been supplied to the pair of bobbin holders is being maintained, because unnecessary yarn is less likely to have been wound around the first bobbin that has been supplied to the pair of bobbin holders. Thus, a period of time required for recovery from the error can be shortened by a period of time required for replacing the bobbin.
  • the yarn winding machine may further include: a bobbin collection section configured to collect the first bobbin discharged from the pair of bobbin holders when the first-type error has been detected; and a bobbin holding device configured to hold the second bobbin to be supplied to the pair of bobbin holders when the first-type error has been detected.

This eliminates the need to provide a device configured to receive the first bobbin from the pair of bobbin holders and pass the first bobbin to the bobbin collection section in addition to the supply device, and thus, the configuration can be simplified.
  • the supply device may include a clamping unit configured to clamp the bobbin, and may be configured such that the clamping unit is movable between a first position and a second position, and the clamping unit is movable between the first position and a third position.
  • the first position is a standby position of the clamping unit
  • the second position is a position for passing the bobbin to the pair of bobbin holders and receiving the bobbin from the pair of bobbin holders
  • the third position is a position for passing the bobbin to the bobbin collection section.
  • the bobbin holding device may be configured to be movable between a fourth position and a fifth position.
  • the fourth position is a position on a track of the clamping unit between the first position and the second position
  • the fifth position is a position off the track of the clamping unit between the first position and the second position.
  • the track of the clamping unit between the first position and the third position may pass through an area above the fourth position and the fifth position in a height direction.
  • the bobbin collection section may comprise a conveyor configured to convey the first bobbin.
  • the first bobbin can be automatically conveyed to a predetermined location.
  • the bobbin collection section may comprise a stocker configured to store the first bobbin.
  • the first bobbin can be collected without using the conveyor or the like, and the first bobbin stored in the stocker can be automatically discharged to a collection box, for example, provided in a predetermined location or can be collected by the operator.
  • the yarn winding machine may further include: a first sensor configured to detect whether the yarn has been caught by the yarn threading device; and a second sensor configured to detect whether the yarn is being wound by the winding device.
  • the control unit may be configured to perform the first control when the first sensor has detected that the yarn has been caught and then the second sensor has detected that the yarn is not being wound, as being a case where the first-type error has been detected.
  • unnecessary yarn is more likely to have been wound around the first bobbin that has been supplied to the pair of bobbin holders.
  • the bobbin can be replaced without intervention of the operator, and this replacement of the bobbin can prevent a package including unnecessary yarn from being formed.
  • the yarn winding machine may further include: an air spinning device configured to twist a fiber bundle using swirling airflow to form the yarn; and a third sensor configured to detect whether the yarn has been spun out from the air spinning device.
  • the control unit may be configured to perform the second control when the third sensor has detected that the yarn has not been spun out, as being a case where the second-type error has been detected.
  • unnecessary yarn is less likely to have been wound around the first bobbin that has been supplied to the pair of bobbin holders.
  • control unit may be configured to perform the second control when the third sensor has detected that the yarn has been spun out and then the first sensor has detected that the yarn has not been caught, as being the case where the second-type error has been detected.
  • the third sensor has detected that the yarn has been spun out and then the first sensor has detected that the yarn has not been caught, unnecessary yarn is less likely to have been wound around the first bobbin that has been supplied to the pair of bobbin holders.
