Description

- Rotor spinning machines are widely used for processing fiber material or roving into workable yarn or thread by a spinning rotor of a spinning rotor assembly. Such spinning rotor assemblies comprising the spinning rotor connected to a rotor shaft as well as at least one bearing unit are typically used in spinning machines, in particular in open-end rotor spinning machines. Such open-end rotor spinning machines are operated at speeds of 100,000 rpm and above. During the operation of the rotor spinning machine, the spinning rotor is typically arranged in a housing to protect an operator from being injured and to avoid any contact of the rotating spinning rotor with other parts of the rotor spinning machine or with materials in the surrounding environment. Accordingly, it is particularly important to quickly stop the rotation of the spinning rotor when the housing is opened. Additionally, opening the housing including a movement of the fast-rotating spinning rotor would lead to huge forces acting upon the spinning rotor assembly and in particular on the at least one bearing unit rotatably mounting the spinning rotor shaft to the housing, which might result in a wear or even a damaging of the spinning rotor assembly.

Advantageously, the rotor assembly is movable and in particular pivotable relative to a girder, to a part of a housing and/or to a mounting frame for setting up and/or positioning a rotor spinning machine including the spinning rotor assembly to the ground.
- Accordingly, it is prefered that the housing of the spinning rotor assembly comprises two parts movably, in particular pivotably mounted to one another. Preferentially, the first part of the housing is fixed to the at least one bearing unit, preferably to all bearing units of the rotor assembly, and/or is provided to be pivotally mounted relative to the rest of the rotor spinning machine or to the ground the rotor spinning machine is positioned on. The second part of the housing is preferentially arranged pivotally relative to the spinning rotor.
- According to the invention, a rotor brake is pivotally mounted to the housing, in particular a first part of the housing. The rotor brake is provided to efficiently brake the spinning rotor. Preferably, the rotor brake mechanically interacts with a part of the spinning rotor shaft to brake the spinning rotor. More preferably the rotor brake interacts with an end of the spinning rotor shaft and most preferably the rotor brake interacts with a part of the spinning rotor shaft provided to be driven by a drive belt and/or with a belt drive roller arranged at an end of the spinning rotor shaft.
- Also according to the invention, the rotor brake is mounted to the housing so that the rotor brake automatically engages when the spinning rotor assembly and/or accordingly also the housing of the spinning rotor assembly is moved from a first to a second position. Preferably, the engagement of the rotor brake is only driven by mechanical interaction of the rotor brake and further parts of the rotor spinning machine, in particular the spinning rotor assembly, the housing of the spinning rotor assembly and/ or parts of the rotor spinning machine for firmly positioning the rotor spinning machine to the ground.
- The first position is preferentially an operational position of the spinning rotor and/or a position where the spinning rotor assembly including the spinning rotor is driven to produce thread or yarn. Preferably, in the first position the housing of the spinning rotor assembly is closed and/or the first and the second part of the housing are in contact, in particular to form a closed housing. Accordingly, the second position is preferentially a position where the spinning rotor is accessible and/or a position where the spinning rotor is not in operation. Preferably, in the second position the housing of the spinning rotor assembly is opened and/or the first and the second part of the housing are not in contact, in particular to provide an opening to access the spinning rotor.
- Accordingly, in a prefered embodiment of the invention, the spinning rotor assembly is movable, in particular pivotal about a pivoting joint between a first, closed position for operation of the spinning rotor and a second, open position, where the spinning rotor is accessible. Further the rotor brake is built to automatically engage when the spinning rotor assembly is moved into the open position and/or to automatically release again when the spinning rotor assembly is moved into or reaches the closed position. Additionally preferentially, the spinning rotor assembly is movably, in particular pivotally mounted so that when moving into the second, open position, the end of the spinning rotor shaft or a belt roller, in particular arranged at an end of the spinning rotor shaft, is moved away from a drive belt and therefore the drive is disengaged and/or the connection to the actuator is interrupted. Most preferably, the disengagement from the drive belt and the engagement of the rotor brake, in particular a mechanical engagement of the rotor brake to the spinning rotor shaft, occur simultaneously or at least directly consecutively.
- It is also prefered that the rotor brake is built to be permanently engaged in the second, open position of the spinning rotor assembly and/or as long as the spinning rotor assembly is not in the closed position to ensure the safety of an operator of the rotor spinning machine. Such an embodiment of the rotor brake advantageously cannot be released as long as the spinning rotor is accessible. Preferably, the rotor brake is mechanically built to be engaged in the open position of the spinning rotor assembly. Even more preferably it is mechanically impossible to release the rotor brake as long as the spinning rotor assembly is not in the closed position. Hence, an operating error of an operator is impossible in such an embodiment.
- In a further development of the spinning rotor assembly according to the invention, the rotor brake is built entirely from mechanical parts and/or without an electric control and/or without electric actuators such as a motor or the like. Accordingly, the rotor brake is always functional and is in particular not dependent of an electrical power supply. It is further prefered that the rotor brake does not comprise any hydraulic or pneumatic components, at least for engaging the motor brake. Hence, the rotor brake is preferably always functional. It is especially prefered that the rotor brake is driven at least towards an engaged position solely by spring force.
- Generally, any surface or part of the rotor brake might interact with the spinning rotor shaft mechanically during the engagement of the rotor brake. However, it is prefered that the rotor brake comprises a braking surface which is brought in contact by spring force and in particular pressed by spring force against the spinning rotor shaft or against a belt roller preferably fixed to an end of the spinning rotor shaft when the rotor brake is engaged and/or when the spinning rotor assembly is moved out of the first, closed position. Preferentially, the braking surface is provided for a direct and/or a mechanical interaction with a surface of the spinning rotor shaft or a belt roller. More preferably the shape of the braking surface is adapted to the shape of the section of the spinning rotor shaft interacting with the braking surface. Most preferably, the braking surface has the same curvature or radius as the spinning rotor shaft or as the belt roller. Advantageously, the braking surface is shaped to provide a large contact area to the spinning rotor shaft.
- The rotor brake and in particular the braking surface of the rotor brake might engage the surface of the spinning rotor shaft or the belt roller in any position. However, it is prefered that the rotor brake is pressed against the surface of the spinning rotor shaft or of a belt roller opposite to the side of the spinning rotor shaft or the belt roller provided to be brought in contact with a drive belt so that the drive belt cannot get in contact with the rotor brake which might impede the braking effect. Also, arranging the drive belt and the rotor brake on opposing sides of the spinning rotor shaft, it is easily possible to pivot the spinning rotor shaft away from the drive belt and at the same time towards the rotor brake or vice versa. Accordingly, an even faster engagement of the rotor brake and disengagement from the drive belt is possible and/or an simultaneous contact of the spinning rotor shaft with the drive belt and the rotor brake is easily avoided.
- According to a prefered embodiment of the invention, the rotor brake comprises a brake lever which is pivotally mounted via a pivot axle to the housing, wherein on one side, in particular on one end of the brake lever the braking surface is located and on the other side, in particular on the other end of the brake lever a spring element is provided. Preferably the spring element is arranged between the brake lever and the housing to apply force to the brake lever towards an engaged position, where the rotor brake is engaged and/or where the braking surface is brought in contact with the spinning rotor shaft or a belt roller. The spring element preferentially preloads the brake lever towards the position of a brake engagement. The spring element might be attached to the brake lever in any possible way. It is prefered that the spring element is in particular supported at one end against the brake lever and/or at the other end against the housing, in particular the first part of the housing.
- The brake lever might have any shape and size. Preferably, the brake lever is divided into two sides by the pivot axle, the first side being an actuation side and the second side being a braking side. Preferably, on the braking side the braking surface is provided and/or on the actuation side at least the spring element is arranged. It is further prefered that the lever has an L-shape and/or two sections which are arranged approximately perpendicular to one another. More preferably, the pivot axle is arranged on the longer side of the L-shaped lever, in particular approximately in the middle of this longer side. Also preferably, the short side of the L-shaped lever is pushed by the housing when the spinning rotor assembly is moved from the first to the second position leading to an engagement of the rotor brake. Advantageously, the longer side of the L-shaped lever and/or the side of the lever comprising the braking surface is arranged in parallel to the spinning rotor shaft, at least in an engaged position of the rotor brake. It is further prefered that the pivot axle of the brake lever and the pivoting axis of the spinbox or of the two parts of the housing are arranged in parallel and/or at a distance to one another.
- To improve the longevity and to facilitate the maintenance of the spinning rotor assembly, a brake pad is preferably removably and/or replaceably mounted on an end of the brake lever to provide the braking surface. Such an embodiment advantageously allows to easily replace the part of the rotor brake with the braking surface. The braking pad might be made of any material and might have any shape. Preferably, the braking pad provides the entire braking surface. Also preferably, the brake pad is made of a material which is softer than the surface of the spinning rotor shaft or of the drive roller the brake pad is interacting with when the rotor brake is engaged. Most preferably, the brake pad is made out of a polymer. Although the brake pad might also be an integral part of the brake lever, preferably the brake pad is a separate part and can be fixed to brake lever. Most preferably, a brake pad holder is provided on the braking side of the lever to receive and hold the braking pad firmly in position.
- According to a preferential embodiment of the spinning rotor assembly, a contact element is arranged on the brake lever to be pressed against a surface of a non-pivotable girder of the rotor spinning machine in the closed position of the spinning rotor assembly to hold the rotor brake in an unengaged position, wherein the contact element and the surface of the girder loose contact when the brake lever is pivoted together with the spinning rotor assembly from the first, closed position into the second, open position so that the rotor brake is automatically engaged. It is further prefered that the brake lever and in particular the contact element looses contact to the girder, when the spinning rotor assembly is moved into the second, open position, and accordingly the rotor brake is engaged. Preferentially, the contact element pressed against a contact point on the surface of the girder stops the rotor brake and in particular the braking surface from contacting the spinning rotor shaft or the belt roller in the closed position of the spinning rotor assembly. It is also prefered that the contact element is arranged on an opposite side of the brake lever to the brake surface and/or on the same side as the spring element. Advantageously, the contact element is aligned perpendicular to the braking surface. The girder may be any part of the frame or of a housing of the spinbox or of the rotor spinning machine which is arranged non-pivotable relative to the ground the rotor spinning machine is positioned on.
- To be able to adjust the position and/or the timing of the brake engagement when moving the spinning rotor assembly from the first to the second position, according to a prefered embodiment of the spinning rotor assembly the contact element is arranged adjustably, in particular longitudinally adjustable by a threaded connection to the brake lever. Such a arrangement allows to adjust the engagement of the rotor brake dependent on the pivoting angle of the spinning rotor assembly and/or to adjust the distance of the disengaged brake surface from the spinning rotor shaft or of the belt roller in the closed position.
- It is additionally prefered that a stop element is arranged on the housing of the spinning rotor assembly or on the girder to provide a stop point for the housing tilted into the open position. Preferably, the stop point is located on a part of the girder opposite to the contact point on the girder. Accordingly, the housing of the spinning rotor assembly is preferably arranged in an area between the stop point and the contact point. Most preferably, the stop point and the contact point are arranged on one single girder and/or both points are arranged in one plane.
- In an advantageous embodiment of the spinning rotor assembly, the spring element is adjustably mounted to the brake lever to adjust the force, the braking surface of the brake lever or the brake pad is applying to the surface of the spinning rotor shaft or of the belt roller. More preferably, the spring element is longitudinally adjustable by a threaded connection allowing a continuous adjustment.
- Finally, it is also prefered that a control element is provided to allow an engagement of the rotor brake in the closed position of the spinning rotor assembly additional to the automatic rotor brake engagement when moving the spinning rotor assembly out of the closed and/or into the opened position, which also allows to brake the spinning rotor in the first position of the spinning rotor assembly, for example to avoid strong forces from action on the at least one bearing unit, to clean the spinning rotor by strongly braking or to shut down the spinning machine as fast as possible. It is especially prefered that additional to the automatic engagement mode of the rotor brake a manual mode is provided which allows an operator or a control unit of the rotor spinning machine to brake the spinning rotor, especially also in the first position of the spinning rotor assembly.
- These and other aspects of the invention will be apparent from and elucidated with reference to an embodiment described hereinafter.
- Fig. 1
- shows a perspective view of a rotor assembly including a spinning rotor, a housing and a rotor brake; and
- Fig. 2
- shows a perspective, partially transparent view of the rotor assembly shown in
figure 1 , and - Fig. 3
- shows a sectional view of the rotor brake of the rotor assembly shown in
figure 1 . - A spinning
rotor assembly 1 as shown infigure 1 comprises a spinningrotor 2 mounted to a spinningrotor shaft 3. The spinningrotor 2 is arranged in ahousing 4 to protect an operator of an open-end rotor spinning machine comprising several spinboxes each with one spinningrotor assembly 1. To rotatably mount the spinningrotor 2 to thehousing 4, the spinningrotor shaft 3 is arranged to the housing via two bearing units 5 (seefigure 2 ). - To access the spinning
rotor 2, the spinningrotor assembly 1 can be pivoted from a first closed position for spinning to a second, open position. Accordingly, thehousing 4 comprises pivotingjoints 7 to provide means for mounting the spinningrotor assembly 1 pivotally about a pivoting axis. - However, before an operator can access the spinning
rotor 2 after pivoting the spinningrotor assembly 1 into the open position, the spinningrotor 2 has to be braked from a rotational speed of over 100,000 rpm during operation to a complete halt. Accordingly, arotor brake 6 is provided. Therotor brake 6 comprises abrake lever 11 pivotably mounted with apivot axle 12 to thehousing 4 of the spinningrotor assembly 1. - The
pivot axle 12 of thebrake lever 11 is arranged parallel to the pivoting joint 7 on thehousing 4 of the spinningrotor assembly 1 and perpendicular to the rotational axis of the spinningrotor shaft 3. Aspring element 13 is arranged between thebrake lever 11 and thehousing 4 on one side of thepivot axle 12. Thespring element 13 is preloading thebrake lever 11 towards an engaged position of therotor brake 6. On the opposite side of thepivot axle 12 of thebrake lever 11, abrake pad 14 is arranged at an end of thebrake lever 11, wherein thebrake pad 14 comprises abraking surface 8 to be brought in direct contact to asurface 9 of the spinning rotor shaft 3 (seefigure 3 ). Accordingly, therotor brake 6 is operated by a mechanical contact and in particular by friction between the surface of thebrake pad 14 and thesurface 9 of the spinningrotor shaft 3. - The
brake pad 14 engages thesurface 9 of the spinningrotor shaft 3 in a position directly opposite to the position where asurface 9 of the spinningrotor shaft 3 is driven by adrive belt 10 to accelerate and to drive the spinningrotor 2 via the spinningrotor shaft 3. - To automatically engage the
rotor brake 6 when pivoting the spinningrotor assembly 1 into the second, open position and to hold therotor brake 6 in an disengaged position when the spinningrotor assembly 1 is in a first, closed position, on the side of thebrake lever 11 also comprising thespring element 13 the end of thebrake lever 11 is angled by 90°, wherein this angled section comprises acontact element 15. In the first, closed position of the spinningrotor assembly 1, thecontact element 15 is in contact with a surface of agirder 16 of the rotor spinning machine, holding therotor brake 6 against the force of thespring element 13 in a disengaged position. As soon as the spinningrotor assembly 1 is pivoted towards the second, open position, thecontact element 15 looses the contact to the surface of thegirder 16 and thespring element 13 forces therotor brake 6 into the engaged position. Simultaneously, the spinningrotor shaft 3 looses contact to thedrive belt 10. - As long as the spinning
rotor assembly 1 remains in the second, open position, therotor brake 6 stays engaged and at the same time thedrive belt 10 remains contactless from thesurface 9 of the spinningrotor shaft 3. Only when the spinningrotor assembly 1 is pivoted into the first, closed position again, thecontact element 15 on thebrake lever 11 comes into contact with thegirder 16 again, releasing the brake. At the same time, thesurface 9 of the spinningrotor shaft 3 comes into contact with thedrive belt 10, which accelerates the spinningrotor 2 to the operation speed again. -
