Description
- The present disclosure relates to a pot spinning machine.
- In a pot spinning machine, a yarn introduced into a pot by a yarn introduction tube is deposited in layers on an inner wall of the pot by way of the centrifugal force caused by high-speed rotation of the pot to form a cake, and then the yarn is rewound on a bobbin in the pot. At that time, air friction is generated in the outer periphery of the pot by high-speed rotation of the pot, and this air friction becomes a resistance when rotating the pot. Japanese Translation of
PCT International Application Publication JP 2005 - 520 940 A - In the pot spinning machine of the above-cited Publication, the pot is supported by a magnet bearing. In the pot spinning machine having this configuration, it is difficult to suppress the vibration generated with the pot and the magnet bearing attracted to the low-pressure side due to the unbalanced rotation of the pot and the pressure distribution between the pot and the fixed cover. In addition, since it requires highly precise control to suppress the vibration, the cost increases.
- For the cost reduction, a roller bearing, which is cheaper than the magnet bearing, may be used for supporting the pot. In such case, the rolling resistance applied to the roller bearing increases as the diameter of the bearing increases. Therefore, the diameter of the roller bearing is preferably made small to reduce the drive output to be consumed by rotation of the pot. In order to minimize the amplitude during the rotation of the pot, the pot is preferably supported on both sides in the central axis direction of the pot, that is, one side (upper side) and the other side (lower side) of the central axis.
- However, in view of securing a space for spinning inside the pot and doffing for the bobbin replacement, a one side support structure in which the pot is supported by the bearing on only one side in the central axis direction of the pot is applied. Thus, the natural frequency of a rotating system configured to rotate the pot becomes low, resonance occurs within a range of the number of rotations of the pot, and the pot is unbalanced, thereby becoming a source of vibration. Moreover, when the number of rotations of the pot exceeds the resonance range within the range of the number of rotations of the pot, a vibration, other than the vibration caused by the resonance, occurs. As a result, the pot spinning machine is affected such that a serviceable life of the rolling bearing is shortened when the pot is rotated in the actual rotating range during the normal operation of the pot spinning machine.
- In a case where the pot is supported by a rolling bearing (hereinafter referred to as the pot bearing), an outer ring of the pot bearing is supported by a damper member to reduce the vibration during the rotation of the pot. In such case, it is difficult to restrict the inclination of the pot with the precision of parts since, with the above-described one side support configuration, the outer ring of the pot bearing is supported by the damper member. Thus, the inclination of the pot results in non-coaxial relationship between the pot and the fixed cover, which increases the air friction resistance for the pot.
GB 845 882 A JP 2013 - 128 389 A DE 195 48 664 A1 disclose further prior art. - The present disclosure, which has been made in light of the above-mentioned problems, is directed to providing a pot spinning machine that reduces the air friction resistance during the rotation of the pot by adjusting the inclination of the pot in a configuration in which the pot is supported by a damper member.

Further, each of the screw holes 44 is provided so as to extend through theplate portion 40 in the thickness direction thereof. Thetubular portion 42 is formed, extending downwardly from the inner periphery of theplate portion 40. - According to this configuration in which the fixed
cover 30 is disposed outward of thepot 10, the air friction resistance acting on the outer periphery of thepot 10 is reduced, thereby reducing the consumption of power for rotating thepot 10. - A plurality of
damper members 46 are disposed between theouter ring 16 and theflange member 36. Specifically, thedamper members 46 are disposed on the upper and lower sides of theholder member 20 that is fixed to theouter ring 16. Thedamper member 46 is disposed on the upper side of theholder member 20 between theholder member 20 and the plate 24 (hereinafter also referred to as the upper damper member 46), and thedamper member 46 is disposed on the lower side of theholder member 20 between theholder member 20 and the flange member 36 (hereinafter also referred to as the lower damper member 46). - The
damper member 46 is provided by an elastic body that elastically deforms. Thedamper member 46 is configured to damp the vibrations caused by the rotation of thepot 10. Thedamper member 46 deforms in a deforming direction that extends in parallel to the central axis J of the pot 10 (the vertical direction inFIG. 1 ). In the present embodiment, thedamper member 46 is provided by an O-ring. - The
upper damper member 46 is pressed and deformed in the vertical direction with theupper damper member 46 held between theholder member 20 and theplate 24. Thelower damper member 46 is pressed and deformed in the vertical direction with thelower damper member 46 held between theholder member 20 and theplate portion 40 of theflange member 36. Therefore, theupper damper member 46 is disposed in contact with anupper surface 20a of theholder member 20, and thelower damper member 46 is disposed in contact with alower surface 20b of theholder member 20. - An
adjustment mechanism 50 is disposed around thepot bearing 12. Theadjustment mechanism 50 is configured to adjust the deformation amount of thedamper member 46. Theadjustment mechanism 50 adjusts the deformation amount of thedamper member 46 so that the deformation amount of thedamper member 46 varies in the circumferential direction of thepot 10. Theadjustment mechanism 50 includes afirst bolt 51 and asecond bolt 52 shown inFIGS. 1 and2 , in addition to theholder member 20, theplate 24, and theflange member 36, which have been described above. - The
first bolt 51 is configured to restrict the deformation amount of thedamper member 46 so as to set a reference for the deformation amount of the damper member 46 (hereinafter also referred to as the reference deformation amount) when the deformation amount of thedamper member 46 is adjusted by theadjustment mechanism 50. In other words, thefirst bolt 51 corresponds to a setting member that is configured to set the deformation amount of thedamper member 46. Thefirst bolt 51 is disposed at one position in the circumferential direction of thepot 10. Thesecond bolt 52 is provided for adjusting the deformation amount of thedamper member 46 so as to adjust (correct) the inclination of thepot 10 when theadjustment mechanism 50 adjusts the deformation amount of thedamper member 46. Thesecond bolt 52 corresponds to the screw member that is configured to adjust the inclination of thepot 10. The inclination of thepot 10 corresponds to the inclination of the central axis J of thepot 10 relative to the vertical axis. Thesecond bolts 52 are disposed at two positions in the circumferential direction of thepot 10. Any adjacent two of thefirst bolt 51 and thesecond bolts 52 are spaced angularly at 120 degrees in the circumferential direction of thepot 10. That is, three bolts including thefirst bolt 51 and thesecond bolts 52 are disposed at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of thepot 10. - The
first bolt 51 has ahead portion 51a, ashaft portion 51b, and a threadedportion 51c, formed integrally. The diameter of theshaft portion 51b is greater than that of the threadedportion 51c, and a steppedportion 51d is formed at a boundary between theshaft portion 51b and the threadedportion 51c. That is, thefirst bolt 51 is provided by a stepped bolt. Thefirst bolt 51 is inserted through thebolt hole 24a of theplate 24 and the throughhole 22 of theholder member 20, and is screwed into thescrew hole 44 of theflange member 36. - The
second bolt 52 has ahead portion 52a and a threadedportion 52b, formed integrally. Thesecond bolt 52 is inserted through thebolt hole 24b of theplate 24 and the throughhole 22 of theholder member 20, and is screwed into thescrew hole 44 of theflange member 36. - The following will describe a procedure for adjusting the inclination of the
pot 10 using theadjustment mechanism 50 provided in the pot spinning machine of the first embodiment of the present disclosure. - Firstly, in a state where the
upper damper member 46 is disposed between theholder member 20 and theplate 24, and thelower damper member 46 is disposed between theholder member 20 and theflange member 36, thefirst bolt 51 and thesecond bolts 52 are mounted. Thefirst bolt 51 is inserted through thebolt hole 24a of theplate 24 and the throughhole 22 of theholder member 20, and is screwed into thescrew hole 44 of theflange member 36, and thesecond bolts 52 are inserted through their associated bolt holes 24b of theplate 24 and their associated throughholes 22 of theholder member 20, and are screwed into the screw holes 44 of theflange member 36. - While the
first bolt 51 is rotated in the tightening direction, the upper andlower damper members 46 are pressed and elastically deformed, and the steppedportion 51d of thefirst bolt 51 is brought into contact with theupper surface 36a of theflange member 36. With theupper surface 36a of theflange member 36 serving as a reference surface (bearing surface), the reference deformation amount of thedamper member 46 and the position of thepot bearing 12 in the vertical direction are determined by the length of theshaft portion 51b of thefirst bolt 51. - While the
second bolt 52 is rotated in the tightening direction, the upper andlower damper members 46 are pressed and elastically deformed. Since thesecond bolt 52 is not a stepped screw, the deformation amount of thedamper member 46 is arbitrarily adjustable. Thesecond bolts 52 are disposed at two positions in the circumferential direction of thepot 10. Therefore, the deformation amounts of thedamper members 46 in the circumferential direction of thepot 10 may be changed by adjusting the rotation amount and the rotation direction of each of thesecond bolts 52. - In a state where the upper and
lower damper members 46 are deformed by the rotations of thefirst bolt 51 and thesecond bolts 52, theholder member 20 is disposed above theflange member 36 via thelower damper member 46, and theplate 24 is disposed above theholder member 20 via theupper damper member 46. Theholder member 20 is elastically supported by the upper andlower damper members 46. This configuration enables theadjustment mechanism 50 to adjust the deformation amounts of thedamper members 46 so that the deformation amounts of thedamper members 46 vary in the circumferential direction of thepot 10 by using the twosecond bolts 52. The following will describe in detail. - When the rotation amount and the rotation direction of the
second bolt 52 are adjusted so that the deformation amounts (crashed amount) of thedamper members 46 by tightening thesecond bolt 52 becomes greater than the reference deformation amounts of thedamper members 46 set by the tightening of thefirst bolt 51, part of theholder member 20 where it is tightened by thesecond bolt 52 is displaced in a direction approaching theupper surface 36a of theflange member 36. Consequently, the position of theholder member 20 is inclined so that the part of theholder member 20 where it is tightened by thesecond bolt 52 is positioned lower than the part of theholder member 20 where it is tightened by thefirst bolt 51. - When the rotation amount and the rotation direction of the
second bolts 52 is adjusted so that the deformation amounts (crashed amounts) of thedamper members 46 by tightening thesecond bolt 52 become smaller than the reference deformation amounts of thedamper members 46 set by the tightening of thefirst bolt 51, the part of theholder member 20 where it is tightened by thesecond bolts 52 is displaced in a direction away from theupper surface 36a of theflange member 36. Consequently, the position of theholder member 20 is inclined so that the part of theholder member 20 where it is tightened by thesecond bolt 52 is positioned higher than the part of theholder member 20 where it is tightened by thefirst bolt 51. - When the rotation amount and the rotation direction of each of the two
second bolts 52 are adjusted so that the deformation amounts of thedamper members 46 by tightening one of thesecond bolts 52 become greater than the deformation amounts of thedamper members 46 by tightening the other of thesecond bolts 52, the position of theholder member 20 is inclined so that the part of theholder member 20 where it is tightened by thesecond bolt 52 that deforms thedamper member 46 greater is lower than the part of theholder member 20 where it is tightened by thesecond bolt 52 that deforms thedamper member 46 less. In other words, theadjustment mechanism 50 adjusts the inclination of thepot 10 in accordance with the rotation amount of thesecond bolts 52. - Accordingly, the pot spinning machine of the first embodiment of the present disclosure permits adjusting the deformation amounts of the
damper members 46 so that the deformation amounts of thedamper members 46 vary in the circumferential direction of thepot 10 by using the twosecond bolts 52 of theadjustment mechanism 50. Further, by adjusting the deformation amounts of thedamper members 46 so that the deformation amounts vary in the circumferential direction of thepot 10, theholder member 20 is inclined in accordance with how the deformation amounts are adjusted. Since theholder member 20 is fixed to theouter ring 16 of thepot bearing 12, thepot 10 and thepot bearing 12 are inclined in accordance with the inclination of theholder member 20. Accordingly, the inclination of thepot 10 is adjusted (corrected) by using the twosecond bolts 52 of theadjustment mechanism 50. This configuration permits arranging thepot 10 and the fixedcover 30 so as not to be disposed in non-coaxial relationship by adjusting the inclination of thepot 10 after the pot spinning machine is assembled, without suppressing the inclination of thepot 10 with the precision of the parts. As a result, the air friction resistance acting on thepot 10 during the rotation of thepot 10 may be reduced. In addition, since thedamper member 46 is disposed between theouter ring 16 and theflange member 36, the vibration energy due to the rotation of thepot 10 may be damped by thedamper member 46. Accordingly, the vibration during the rotation of thepot 10 is suppressed. - In general, the damping ratio for the mode of vibration increases when the capacity of damping is applied to a part where the mode of vibration fluctuates greatly. In the present embodiment, the diameter of the O-ring forming the
damper member 46 is made large so as to be disposed outward of thefirst bolt 51 and thesecond bolt 52 for the vibration in the inclination direction of thepot 10, which corresponds to the main mode of vibration the actual operation range of the rotation speed of thepot 10. In damping the vibration using the O-ring, a large damping ratio may be secured for the mode of vibration by increasing the displacement by the deformation of the O-ring. -
FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional side view showing a configuration of a pot spinning machine according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. - The pot spinning machine of the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the positional relationship between the
damper member 46 and theadjustment mechanism 50. In the above-described first embodiment, as shown inFIG. 1 , the upper andlower damper members 46 are disposed so that theholder member 20 fixed to theouter ring 16 of thepot bearing 12 is held between the upper andlower damper members 46 in the vertical direction. In the second embodiment, on the other hand, as shown inFIG. 3 , theplate 24 is disposed below theholder member 20 fixed to theouter ring 16 and the upper andlower damper members 46 are disposed so that theplate 24 is held between the upper andlower damper members 46 in the vertical direction. Then, thefirst bolt 51 is inserted through the throughhole 22 of theholder member 20 and thebolt hole 24a of theplate 24, and is screwed into thescrew hole 44 of theflange member 36, and thesecond bolts 52 are inserted through the throughholes 22 of theholder member 20 and the bolt holes 24b of theplate 24, and is screwed into thescrew hole 44 of theflange member 36. Theplate 24 is fixed to the fixing member (not shown). - In the pot spinning machine of the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the
adjustment mechanism 50 adjusts the deformation amounts of thedamper members 46 so that the deformation amounts of thedamper members 46 vary in the circumferential direction of thepot 10 by using the twosecond bolts 52 of theadjustment mechanism 50, thereby adjusting (correcting) the inclination of thepot 10. Accordingly, the air friction resistance during the rotation of thepot 10 may be reduced by arranging thepot 10 and the fixedcover 30 so as not to be disposed in non-coaxial relationship. Further, the vibration during the rotation of thepot 10 may be suppressed by damping the vibration energy caused by the rotation of thepot 10 with thedamper members 46. - Although the deformation amount of the
damper member 46 is adjusted by thesecond bolt 52 in the first and second embodiments, but the configuration to adjust the deformation amount of thedamper member 46 is not limited thereto. For example, the configuration shown inFIG. 4 may be applied. The configuration shown inFIG. 4 includes awasher 62 that has a tapered shape and is placed on the upper surface of thesupport member 60 that is fixedly disposed, and theplate 64 that is disposed above thewasher 62, and the damper member 66 (O-ring) that is disposed between thewasher 62 and theplate 64. Further, this configuration includes an externally threadedmember 70 that is mounted on the outer periphery of anouter ring 68, and thenut 72 is screwed to the externally threadedmember 70. In this configuration, thedamper member 66 is deformed between thewasher 62 and theplate 64 by tightening thenut 72 screwed into the externally threadedmember 70. Thewasher 62 has anupper surface 62a that is inclined so that the thickness of thewasher 62 decreases from the inner peripheral side toward the outer peripheral side. When thewasher 62 is displaced in the horizontal direction on thesupport member 60, the deformation amount of thedamper member 66 changes (increases and decreases) in accordance with the direction and the amount of the displacement of thewasher 62. Therefore, the deformation amounts of thedamper members 66 may be adjusted so that the deformation amounts of thedamper members 66 vary in the circumferential direction of thepot 10 by adjusting the direction and amount of the displacement of thewasher 62. - In the above-described first embodiment, three
bolts pot 10 and the inclination of thepot 10 is adjusted by the rotation amounts of two of the bolts, namely, thesecond bolts 52. The number of the bolts for adjusting the inclination of thepot 10 is not limited to two, but may be three or more. - Although the
holder member 20 is fixed to theouter ring 16 in the first and the second embodiment, theouter ring 16 and theholder member 20 need not necessarily be formed separately, but may be formed integrally. - Although the upper and
lower damper members 46 are disposed below theholder member 20 so as to hold theplate 24 therebetween in the second embodiment, the configuration is not limited to this. For example, the positions of theholder member 20 and theplate 24 are swapped in the vertical direction and the upper and thelower damper members 46 are disposed above theholder member 20 so as to hold theplate 24 therebetween. Thedamper members 46 need not necessarily be disposed on both sides of theholder member 20, but may be disposed on either the upper side or lower side of theholder member 20. - In the above-described embodiments, the direction in which the
damper members pot 10, but it may be set in a direction that extending perpendicular to the central axis J of thepot 10. - Additionally, the
damper members damper members - An oil damper function may be added with oil sealed in the damper member, in addition to the vibration damping function by the damper member. Specifically, a function that damps the vibration using the viscosity of oil moving (the oil damper function) in the circumferential direction in accordance with the deformation of the damper member may be added by sealing oil between two damper members (O-rings) with different diameters.
- Although the fixed
cover 30 is provided outward of thepot 10 in the above-described first embodiment, the fixedcover 30 may be replaced with a rotatable cover (not shown). - The adjustment of the inclination of the
pot 10 using theadjustment mechanism 50 may be used for reducing thepot 10 to be disposed relative to the fixedcover 30 or the rotatable cover in non-coaxial relationship as well as for the adjustment of the inclination of thepot 10 relative to parts and axes of parts other than the fixedcover 30 or the rotatable cover. - Although the deformation amount of the
damper member 46 is adjusted by thesecond bolt 52 in the first and second embodiments, but the configuration to adjust the deformation amount of thedamper member 46 is not limited thereto. For example, the configuration in which the deformation amount of thedamper member 46 is adjusted by the rotation of a nut relative to an externally threaded member shown inFIG. 4 may be used.
