Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pneumatic spinning device and a pneumatic spinning machine including the same.
  • Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-268636 discloses a device for producing a spun yarn from a staple fiber bundle as this type of pneumatic spinning device.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2004-509243 discloses a device that produces a spun yarn from a fiber sliver as this type of pneumatic spinning device.
  • the device of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-268636 includes a fiber guide element having a fiber-guiding surface and a spindle having a yarn guide passage.
  • the fiber-guiding surface includes a direction-changing position.
  • the direction-changing position causes the directional change of the staple fiber bundle when the staple fiber bundle is guided by the fiber-guiding surface.
  • the fiber-guiding surface ends at a fiber passing edge.
  • the spindle is arranged downstream of this fiber passing edge.
  • the yarn guide passage of the spindle has an inlet opening facing the fiber passing edge.
  • a fluid device for forming a swirl flow around the inlet opening is provided between the fiber guide element and the inlet opening.
  • the fluidic device when the fluidic device generates a swirl flow around the inlet opening or the spindle, the generated swirl flow can cause a free fiber end of the staple fiber bundle to be positioned around the inlet opening.
  • the free fiber end performs a relative rotation motion about the inlet opening and thus the staple fiber bundle. Accordingly, the device forms a spun yarn from the staple fiber bundle.
  • the device of Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2004-509243 includes a fiber conveyance element having a fiber-guiding surface and a spindle having a yarn guide channel.
  • a fiber outlet edge is arranged at an end of the fiber-guiding surface in the conveyance direction.
  • An intake port of the yarn guide channel is arranged in close proximity to the fiber outlet edge.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2004-509243 describes that a set distance between an imaginary plane parallel to a center line of the yarn guide channel including the fiber outlet edge and the center line is preferably a value within the order range of 10 to 30% of the diameter of the intake port. With this configuration, the device guides the fibers to the fiber-guiding surface and, from there, into the intake port of the yarn guide channel.
  • the device generates a vortex airflow around the intake port of the yarn guide channel, and causes the vortex airflow to swirl a free rear end of the fibers whose front end is already positioned in the yarn guide channel, thereby producing a yarn.
  • Other examples of the prior art can be found in documents EP 1 335 050 A2 and WO 2017/187293 A1 .
  • a fiber bundle used as a raw material for spun yarn is composed of a multitude of fibers.
  • a downstream end positioned downstream in the travelling direction of the fiber is twisted into a twisted core portion (twisted by swirling of the reversal portion described later), and provided as a fixed end.
  • an upstream end positioned upstream of the fibers in the travelling direction is a free end, and the upstream end separates so as to open from the core portion when entering the spinning chamber and reverses the direction of the end.
  • This reversal portion is subjected to action of the whirling airflow, whereby each fiber is wound around the core portion. In this manner, pneumatic spinning is performed.
  • the pneumatic spinning device is desired to increase spinning speed.
  • the time in which the fiber bundle is subjected to the action of the whirling airflow in the spinning chamber becomes shorter. Therefore, in order to realize high-speed spinning while sufficiently twisting the fibers, it is necessary to reliably reverse the free end portion of the fibers in the spinning chamber (in other words, increase the amount of the fibers to be reversed).
  • the amount of the reversed fibers increases, the twist tends to propagate from the reversed fibers to the fibers upstream of the reversed fibers in the travelling direction.
  • the fibers in which the twist has propagated are not sufficiently reversed even if subjected to the action of the whirling airflow. Therefore, it has been difficult to perform stable spinning at high speed.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2004-509243 in case the spinning speed is high, when the vortex airflow causes the free rear end of the fibers to rotate, the twist propagates to the fibers on the fiber-guiding surface side, whereby the rotation of the free rear end of the fibers is highly likely to become unstable.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2004-509243 discloses that direction-changing and guiding of the fibers along the fiber outlet edge prevents twist propagation, but the effect is unknown for spinning at high speed.
  • An object of the present invention lies in that in a pneumatic spinning device, when fibers are twisted by whirling airflow, propagation of the twist to the fibers positioned upstream of the twisted fibers in the travelling direction is effectively reduced.
  • a pneumatic spinning device configured as follows. That is, this pneumatic spinning device twists, by whirling airflow, the fibers passing through the spinning chamber and forms a yarn.
  • the pneumatic spinning device includes a fiber guiding section and a hollow guide shaft body.
  • the fiber guiding section has a first passage through which a fiber bundle passes.
  • the hollow guide shaft body has a second passage through which the fiber bundle having passed through the first passage is guided, and the hollow guide shaft body is provided so as to face the fiber guiding section across the spinning chamber.
  • the first passage is provided so as to extend linearly.
  • the second passage is provided so as to extend along a shaft center of the hollow guide shaft body with the shaft center as a center.
  • a downstream end where the first passage opens into the spinning chamber and an upstream end where the second passage opens into the spinning chamber are arranged with an interval in the direction of the shaft center of the hollow guide shaft body.
  • An inner surface of the first passage has a flat plane portion on the side close to the shaft center of the hollow guide shaft body.
  • An angle of a linear portion obtained by cutting the plane portion with any plane perpendicular to a first direction in which the first passage extends with respect to the first direction is constant between an upstream end and a downstream end of the first passage.
  • the plane portion is arranged to deviate with respect to the shaft center of the hollow guide shaft body in a second direction perpendicular to the direction of the shaft center of the hollow guide shaft body.
  • the interval in the second direction between the downstream end of the plane portion and the shaft center of the hollow guide shaft body is equal to or greater than 0.8 mm and equal to or less than 3.4 mm.
  • the fiber bundle having been supplied to the first passage is restrained by coming into contact with the flat plane portion before reaching the spinning chamber. Since the plane portion is arranged to deviate with respect to the shaft center of the hollow guide shaft body, when the fiber bundle is appropriately bent between the first passage and the second passage, the fiber bundle is pressed well with respective to the plane portion. Therefore, even when the fiber bundle is twisted by the whirling airflow in the spinning chamber, it is possible to effectively reduce propagation of the twist to the upstream in the travelling direction. Thus, since the fibers are not twisted upstream of the spinning chamber, separation and reversal of the fibers in the spinning chamber can be performed satisfactorily. As a result, spinning can be stably performed.
  • the interval in the second direction between the downstream end of the plane portion and the shaft center of the hollow guide shaft body is preferably equal to or greater than 0.9 mm and equal to or less than 1.5 mm.
  • the fiber bundle can be appropriately bent between the first passage and the second passage, the propagation of the twist described above can be particularly effectively reduced.
  • the plane portion is preferably arranged at a position where the plane portion and an opening formed by the second passage in the spinning chamber do not appear to overlap each other when viewed in the first direction.
  • the fiber bundle can be reliably bent between the first passage and the second passage, propagation of the twist to the upstream can be reduced well.
  • the gap length is preferably constant over the entire longitudinal direction of the linear portion, or the gap length at the longitudinal center of the linear portion is larger than the gap length at longitudinal ends.
  • the fiber bundle can pass smoothly while being restrained by the plane portion in the first passage.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the first passage is preferably a quadrangle shape or a D shape.
  • the length of the plane portion in the first direction is equal to or greater than 3 mm and equal to or less than 12 mm.

  • this free end is separated so as to open from the core portion by the whirling airflow in the spinning chamber 113, and swirls in the state where the direction is reversed along the outer peripheral surface of the taper portion 124. Accordingly, the fibers wind around the core portion, and the fiber bundle 34 is twisted.
  • the spun yarn 30 thus formed travels downstream by the whirling airflow formed by the compressed air jetted from the auxiliary nozzle 135, and is discharged from the pneumatic spinning device 23.
  • the jetting of air from the auxiliary nozzle 135 is not performed.
  • the spun yarn 30 is wound downstream of the pneumatic spinning device 23, thereby realizing travel of the spun yarn 30 in the pneumatic spinning device 23.

On the other hand, when the interval S1 was less than 0.8 mm, the pneumatic spinning device 23 was not able to stably form the spun yarn 30 continuously.

  • the interval S1 is magnitude (length) of the distance in which the plane portion 151 is arranged to deviate with respect to the shaft center 108 of the spindle 102. If the interval S1 is too small, bending of a travelling path of the fiber bundle 34 becomes loose, and hence the force with which the fiber bundle 34 is pressed against the plane portion 151 upstream of the spinning chamber 113 becomes weak. As a result, the restraint of the fiber bundle 34 becomes insufficient, and the twist of the fiber bundle 34 in the spinning chamber 113 propagates to the fiber bundle 34 located in the first passage 111.
  • the fibers of the fiber bundle 34 having been weakly twisted by the propagation of the twist from downstream is not sufficiently separated and reversed even if subjected to the action of the whirling airflow in the spinning chamber 113 after passing through the first passage 111. Therefore, it is difficult to apply twists to the fiber bundle 34 well.
  • the interval S1 is too large, the inclination of the path of the fiber bundle 34 in the spinning chamber 113 becomes too much, and it is sometimes difficult to apply well the whirling airflow to the fiber bundle 34. Accordingly, setting the interval S1 within the above range is preferable.
  • the interval S1 can be set arbitrarily as long as it is equal to or greater than 0.8 mm and equal to or less than 3.4 mm. However, in consideration of stably performing high-speed spinning, the interval S1 is preferably equal to or greater than 0.9 mm and equal to or less than 1.5 mm, and more preferably 1 mm.
