- Yarn monitoring device 4 of the fiber flake monitoring device 3 exist, via which the two devices 4, 3 transmit or exchange data.
- connection 6 and / or 7 further (not shown)
- Fiber flake monitoring devices 3 connected to a fiber flake expert system.
- the fiber flake expert system is set up to collect data from the
- a plurality of yarn monitoring devices 4 are connected to a yarn expert system.
- the yarn expert system is set up to collect data from the
- a throughput time Dt (cf. FIGS. 7 (b) and (c)) is determined in the spinning process 1 in FIG.
- the throughput time Dt is defined in the present document as the time interval during which a fiber passes from the first point (eg fine cleaning 11) to the second point (eg rewinding 14) in the spinning process 1.
- the throughput time Dt depends on several conditions such as B. the spinning process 1, the organization of the spinning mill, the raw fibers, the yarn to be produced etc. It can be in the range of hours or days, depending on the situation.
- the throughput time Dt can be manually entered into the central control device 5 by an operator.
- the lead time Dt can be from the central Control device 5 can be calculated automatically. The calculation can e.g. B.
- the throughput time Dt can be called up by the central control device 5 on the basis of inputs from a database. It can remain constant or be changed while the method according to the invention is being carried out, a change again being able to take place manually or automatically.
- the first foreign material portion and the second foreign material portion relate to the same sample of fiber material, that is to say ascertained “for the same fibers”.
- the first foreign material component and the second foreign material component thus determined are assigned to one another.
- the determination of the throughput time Dt is only one of several possibilities for the mutual assignment of the first foreign material information and the second
- composition can be used, the natural composition of the fiber can play a role by means of genetic analysis and / or an artificially added marker.
- Another possibility for assignment consists in marking a carrier of the sample in order to track the sample in the spinning process.
- the sample can be supported by cans or coil cores on which optical and / or electromagnetic markings are applied.
- the change in spinning process 1 includes a change in the elimination criterion.
- the elimination criterion e.g. B.
- Elimination curve 26 (see FIG. 2) can be changed.
- the change to the spinning process 1 includes a change in the cleaning criterion.
- a change in the cleaning criterion e.g. B.
- Cleaning curve 36 (see FIG. 3) can be changed.
- the change to the spinning process 1 includes a change in the raw fibers fed into the spinning process 1 or at least a part thereof.
- the change to spinning process 1 includes a change in settings on machines that are involved in spinning process 1.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 show two examples of this, the first foreign material information being the excretion rate and the second foreign material information being the cleaning rate.
- FIG. 4 shows a first example of a graphical output 40. It contains a column 41 which is divided into four evaluation areas 42-45. On both sides of the column 41 there are horizontal arrows 46, 47, the position of which with respect to the column 41 can be changed in the vertical direction. The left arrow 46 shows the excretion rate, the right arrow 47 the cleaning rate assigned to it. The further down an arrow 46, 47 is, the lower the rate in question, and vice versa.
- the four evaluation areas 42-45 of the column 41 can be colored in the traffic light colors green for appropriate (second evaluation area 43), yellow for critical (first evaluation area 42 and third evaluation area 44) and red for highly critical (fourth evaluation area 45) be.
- the excretion rate is low and the cleaning rate is very high. Such a mismatch in rates is not optimal.
- a recommendation for the change in the spinning process can be given to the operator be issued.
- Such a recommendation is shown in FIG. 4 by the two simple, vertical arrows 48, 49: the excretion rate should be increased (arrow 48) and the
- both horizontal arrows 46, 47 point to the second, green evaluation area 43.
- the invention encompasses other similar graphical outputs, such as e.g. B. each a separate column for the excretion rate and for the cleaning rate.
- FIG. 5 shows a second example of a graphical output of the excretion rate and the cleaning rate. This is a portfolio diagram 50.
- the excretion rate is plotted along an abscissa 51 and the rate along an ordinate 52
- the excretion rate and the cleaning rate assigned to it form the coordinates of a point 53 in the portfolio diagram.
- Five evaluation areas 54-58 are shown schematically in the diagram area, the different
- the evaluation areas 54-58 can have shapes other than those shown in FIG.
- the five evaluation areas 54-58 in the traffic light colors green for appropriate (first evaluation area 54 and fifth evaluation area 58), yellow for critical (second evaluation area 55 and fourth evaluation area 57) and red for highly critical (third evaluation area 56) be colored.
- the drawn in point 53 lies in a first, green evaluation area 54. In this case, apparently good raw fibers low in foreign matter are used, so that there is no need for action.
- a point lying in a second, yellow evaluation area 55 would indicate a high excretion rate with a simultaneously low cleaning rate. Such a mismatch in rates should be corrected by reducing the excretion rate and increasing the cleaning rate.
- Scoring area 56 both the excretion rate and the cleaning rate are high, resulting in poor productivity. In this case, consider using better, less contaminated raw fibers. A point lying in a fourth, yellow evaluation area 57 would indicate a low excretion rate with a simultaneously high cleaning rate. This corresponds to that in FIG. 4
- the value of the excretion rate and / or the cleaning rate can be specified. This is the case in FIG. 4, where the two values are entered in the corresponding horizontal arrows 46, 47. Alternatively, only the values can be output to the operator without a graphic representation.
- the operator can make a change to spinning process 1 manually.
- the change to spinning process 1 can be made automatically, e.g. B. from the central control unit 5 ( Figure 1).
- the limits of the evaluation areas 42-45, 54-58 in FIGS. 4 and 5 can be defined in different ways.
- a first option is a default based on experience.
- a second possibility is to previously determine a worldwide frequency distribution of a foreign material content in fiber flakes and / or in yarns and this frequency distribution when determining the limits of the
- FIG. 54-58 in Figures 4 and 5 is illustrated in Figure 6.
- the figure shows a diagram 60 in a Cartesian coordinate system, along the abscissa 61 of which
- Elimination criterion influencing parameters is plotted.
- This parameter can e.g. B. a sensitivity of the fiber flock monitoring device 3 (Figure 1) with respect to the light intensity, which determines the position of the excretion curve 26 ( Figure 2) in the vertical direction.
- the excretion rate is plotted along the ordinate 62.
- a curve 63 shows the relationship between the sensitivity and the
- Excretion rate Such a relationship can be previously determined heuristically or theoretically.
- the abscissa 61 is divided into three areas 64-66. In a first area 64, the sensitivities are so low that they have hardly any influence on the excretion rate. In a third area 66, the sensitivities are very high, which results in very high excretion rates. In a second area 65 there are medium sensitivities with medium excretion rates. A region 67 of the excretion rate corresponding to this second region 65 corresponds to this
- FIG. 7 shows three examples of time profiles of the first foreign material information and the second foreign material information assigned to it. These two
- Foreign material information is shown in two superimposed diagrams 701, 702, the upper diagram 701 along an ordinate 72 z.
- an excretion rate E (t) and the lower diagram 702 along an ordinate 73 indicates a second foreign material fraction F (t) and the abscissa 71 is the two diagrams 701, 702 common time axis t.
- a first curve 74 in the upper diagram 701 shows the time course of the first foreign material information
- Diagram 702 shows the time course of the second foreign material information. It is assumed that apart from a possible change in the elimination criterion, none other changes can be made to spinning process 1.
- the examples show the expected behavior. A deviation from this behavior indicates an error in the spinning process 1 and can e.g. B. trigger an alarm to the operator.
- FIG. 7 (a) shows the trivial case in which the excretion rate E (t) remains constant over time and the excretion criterion is not changed.
- the second foreign material component F (t) should also remain constant over time; otherwise an alarm should be issued.
- Elimination criterion a decrease in the excretion rate E (t) also result in a decrease in the second foreign material fraction F (t).
- the elimination criterion is changed at a first point in time t 1 such that a higher elimination rate E (t) results. This should be
- the second proportion of foreign material F (t) decreases. If, on the other hand, the excretion criterion is changed so that a lower excretion rate E (t) results, the second foreign material fraction F (t) should increase by the throughput time Dt later.
- FIG. 8 illustrates a further embodiment of the method according to the invention. In this embodiment, costs are taken into account.
- FIG. 8 (a) shows a diagram 801 in a Cartesian coordinate system, along the abscissa 81 the excretion rate E and along the ordinate 82 the
- a curve 83 schematically shows one possible one Relationship between the excretion rate E and the cleaning rate C (E).
- Such a relationship C (E) can be determined heuristically or theoretically.
- the costs K E for an elimination and the costs K c for a cleaning process can also be determined heuristically or theoretically.
- the total costs K per unit mass for the excretions and cleaning processes in spinning process 1 are then
- K (E) E ⁇ K E + C (E) ⁇ K c , taking care that in this linear combination the excretion rate E and the cleaning rate C refer to the same unit mass.
- the condition for minimizing the total cost K (E) is
- the derivative dC (E) / dE of curve 83 of FIG. 8 (a) is plotted along a ordinate 84 in a diagram 802 in FIG. 8 (b).
- a curve 85 shows the course of the derivation.
- a value -K E / K C is drawn in, which the derivative assumes at two places E max , E min .
- the method can be carried out even when the one shown in FIG. 8 (a)
- Function for a given spinning process 1 can not or not completely determined. It is sufficient if for the given spinning process 1 a single point (E, C ') and the function C (E) are known for another but similar spinning process. A proportionality factor can be assumed on the assumption that the curves of curve 83 are similar for both spinning processes to calculate. The minimum condition for the given spinning process is then 1
