  • the slit wall of the suction slit 65 has an upper end wall portion 76, a lower end wall portion 77, a facing wall portion 78, and a condensing guide wall portion 79.
  • the upper end wall portion 76 has an arc shape and forms an upstream end of the suction slit 65.
  • the lower end wall portion 77 forms a downstream end of the suction slit 65.
  • the facing wall portion 78 and the condensing guide wall portion 79 extend between the upper end wall portion 76 and the lower end wall portion 77.
  • the facing wall portion 78 is a part of the slit wall close to the suction slit 64
  • the condensing guide wall portion 79 is a part of the slit wall that faces the facing wall portion 78 and is positioned far from the suction slit 64 as compared with the facing wall portion 78.
  • the facing wall portion 78 has a first slit wall surface 78A, a second slit wall surface 78B, and a third slit wall surface 78C.
  • the first slit wall surface 78A is the same as the first slit wall surface 68A of the suction slit 64
  • the second slit wall surface 78B is the same as the second slit wall surface 68B of the suction slit 64
  • the third slit wall surface 78C is the same as the third slit wall surface 68C of the suction slit 64.
  • the step S2 is formed on the inner surface side of the guide portion 61. Thus, the step S2 is formed between the suction slit 65 and the suction hole 31 on the upstream side.
  • the condensing guide wall portion 79 has a first slit wall surface 79A, a second slit wall surface 79B, and a third slit wall surface 79C.
  • the first slit wall surface 79A is the same as the first slit wall surface 69A of the suction slit 64
  • the second slit wall surface 79B is the same as the second slit wall surface 69B of the suction slit 64.
  • the third slit wall surface 79C is the same as the third slit wall surface 69C of the suction slit 64.
  • the second slit wall surface 79B is formed so that the step S2 is not formed between the suction slit 65 and the suction hole 31 on the downstream side of the guide member 60 in the moving direction X of the fiber bundle F. Therefore, the width of the suction slit 65 on the downstream side and the width of the suction hole 31 are the same, and the step S2 does not exist between the downstream side of the suction slit 65 and the downstream side of the suction hole 31.
  • the width of the suction slit 65 (the dimension of the suction slit 65 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the suction slit 65) is made smaller than the width of the suction hole 31 by the first slit wall surfaces 78A, 79A. In a state where the guide member 60 is mounted on the suction pipe 17, the first wall portion 27 of the suction pipe 17 cannot be seen when it is viewed from the suction slit 65 side.
  • the second embodiment offers effects similar to the above-described effects (1), (4) of the first embodiment.
  • the step S2 is formed by making the width of the suction slit 64 (the suction slit 65) on the upstream side smaller than that of the suction hole 30 (the suction hole 31).
  • the width of the suction slit 64 (the suction slit 65) and the width of the suction hole 30 (the suction hole 31) are different, and the step S2 is formed inner surface side of the guide member 60.
  • the facing wall portion 34 and the condensing guide wall portion 35 of the suction hole 30 blocks fibers, so that accumulation of fibers is unlikely to occur even if fibers enter the gap G2. Accordingly, the configuration of the present embodiment prevents a fiber from getting caught on the suction slit 64 (the suction slit 65) as much as possible.
  • a fiber on the guide member 60 is less likely to enter the gap G2, in addition to that fibers are more likely to be blocked by the facing wall portion 34 and the condensing guide wall portion 35 of the suction hole 30 (the facing wall portion 38 and the condensing guide wall portion 39 of the suction hole 31).
  • the following will describe a fiber bundle condensing device according to a third embodiment.
  • the third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that only one suction slit is formed in a guide member.
  • the descriptions thereof are not repeated, and the same reference characters and numerals will be used.
  • a suction hole 81 is formed in a first wall portion 27 of a suction pipe 80.
  • the suction hole 81 is a through holes having a slit shape, and extend in a direction that intersects with a longitudinal direction of the suction pipe 80 so as to be inclined relative to the moving direction X of the fiber bundle F. That is, the suction hole 81 extends from an upstream side to the downstream side of the suction pipe 80 in the moving direction X of the fiber bundle F. As illustrated in FIG.
  • the suction hole 81 has a hole wall including an upper end wall portion 82 that forms the upstream end of the suction hole 81, a lower end wall portion 83 that forms the downstream end of the suction hole 81, and a condensing guide wall portion 84 and a facing wall portion 85 that extend between the upper end wall portion 82 and the lower end wall portion 83.
  • the upper end wall portion 82 and the lower end wall portion 83 each have a hole wall surface extending in parallel, or substantially in parallel to a longitudinal direction of the suction pipe 80.
  • the condensing guide wall portion 84 has a hole wall surface extending from the upstream side to the downstream side of the first wall portion 27, and a hole wall surface protruding towards the facing wall portion 85 that faces the condensing guide wall portion 84.
  • the inclination of the condensing guide wall portion 84 relative to the moving direction X of the fiber bundle F on the upstream side is greater than the inclination of the condensing guide wall portion 84 relative to the moving direction X of the fiber bundle F on the downstream side.
  • the facing wall portion 85 has a hole wall surface extending from the upstream side to the downstream side of the first wall portion 27, a hole wall surface extending in parallel with the condensing guide wall portion 84 that faces the facing wall portion 85, and a hole wall surface extending along the moving direction X of the fiber bundle F.
  • a suction slit 88 is formed in a guide portion 87 of a guide member 86 to be mounted on the suction pipe 80.
  • the guide member 86 is mounted on the suction pipe 80 in a state where the suction slit 88 is aligned with the suction hole 81 formed in the first wall portion 27 of the suction pipe 80.
  • the suction slit 88 and the suction hole 81 are aligned.
  • the suction slit 88 has a slit wall including an upper end wall portion 89, a lower end wall portion 90, a condensing guide wall portion 91, and a facing wall portion 92.
  • the upper end wall portion 89 forms an upstream end of the suction slit 88, and is disposed flush with, or substantially flush with, the upper end wall portion 82 of the suction hole 81.
  • the lower end wall portion 90 forms a downstream end of the suction slit 88.
  • the condensing guide wall portion 91 is flush with, or substantially flush with, the condensing guide wall portion 84 of the suction hole 81. That is, no step is formed between the condensing guide wall portion 91 and the condensing guide wall portion 84.
  • the condensing guide wall portion 91 is for condensing the fiber bundle F.
  • the condensing guide wall portion 91 has a first slit wall surface 91A, and a second slit wall surface 91B.
  • the first slit wall surface 91A is formed protruding in a shape of an arc on the upstream side, and the second slit wall surface 91B extends straight on the downstream side of the first slit wall surface 91A.
  • the inclination of the first slit wall surface 91A relative to the moving direction X of the fiber bundle F is greater than the inclination of the second slit wall surface 91B relative to the moving direction X of the fiber bundle F on the downstream side.
  • the facing wall portion 92 faces the condensing guide wall portion 91.
  • the facing wall portion 92 has a first slit wall surface 92A, a second slit wall surface 92B, a third slit wall surface 92C, a fourth slit wall surface 92D, and a fifth slit wall surface 92E.
  • the first slit wall surface 92A extends along the moving direction X of the fiber bundle F on the upstream side of the facing wall portion 92.
  • the second slit wall surface 92B faces the first slit wall surface 91A, and is recessed in an arc shape.
  • the third slit wall surface 92C extends straight and faces the second slit wall surface 91B.
  • the first slit wall surface 92A, the second slit wall surface 92B, and the third slit wall surface 92C are not flush with the facing wall portion 85 of the suction hole 81, thereby forming a step S3 between the suction slit 88 and the suction hole 81. That is, the step S3 is formed between the upstream side of the suction slit 88 and the upstream side of the suction hole 81.
  • FIG. 11A illustrates the step S3 on the third slit wall surface 92C.
  • the width of the suction slit 88 on the upstream side is greater than that of the suction hole 81.
  • the width of the suction hole 81 and the width of the suction slit 88 are different. It is noted that the widths of the suction hole and the suction slit being different does not include a case where there is a slight difference in width due to errors in manufacturing and assembling.
  • the fourth slit wall surface 92D is flush with the facing wall portion 85 of the suction hole 81 on the downstream side of the facing wall portion 92.
  • the width of the suction slit 88 on the downstream side and the width of the suction hole 81 are the same. That is, the step S3 does not exist between the downstream side of the suction slit 88 and the downstream side of the suction hole 81.
  • the widths of the suction slit and the suction hole being the same includes a case where there is a slight difference in width due to errors in manufacturing and assembling.
  • the fourth slit wall surface 92D is an only part of the facing wall portion 92 flush with the facing wall portion 85 of the suction hole 81.
  • the fifth slit wall surface 92E is a slit wall surface formed between the third slit wall surface 92C and the fourth slit wall surface 92D. Since the step S3 is formed between the suction slit 88 and the suction hole 81, the first slit wall surface 92A, the second slit wall surface 92B, and the third slit wall surface 92C of the facing wall portion 92 is positioned away from a gap G3 between the suction pipe 80 and the guide member 86.
  • the guide member 86 having the suction slit 88 corresponding to one suction hole 81 prevents a fiber from getting caught on the suction slit 88 as much as possible, similarly to the first embodiment.
  • positioning of the guide member 86 relative to the suction hole 81 may become easier.
  • requirements for precision in processing the condensing guide wall portion 91 and the facing wall portion 92 of the suction slit 88 may be less strict, as compared with a case where the suction hole and the suction slit have an identical shape.
  • the step S3 is not formed between the condensing guide wall portion 91 of the suction slit 88 and the condensing guide wall portion 84 of the suction hole 81. This allows the fiber bundle F to be guided smoothly along the condensing guide wall portion 91 of the suction slit 88 and the condensing guide wall portion 84 of the suction hole 81.
  • the step is formed only one of the outer surface of the suction pipe and the inner surface of the guide member, but is not limited thereto.
  • the fiber bundle condensing device may have a step on the outer surface of the suction surface on one side of the suction slit and a step formed on the inner surface of the guide member on the other side of the suction slit.
  • the step between the suction hole and the suction slit is formed on the outer surface of the suction pipe, but is not limited thereto.
  • the step between the suction hole and the suction slit may be formed, for example, on the inner surface of the guide member, similarly to the second embodiment.
  • the spinning machine is not limited to the spinning flame.
  • the spinning machine may be a roving machine.
  • a fiber bundle condensing device (11) of a spinning machine includes a suction pipe (17, 80) and a guide member (40, 60, 86) having a guide portion (41, 61, 87).
  • the fiber bundle condensing device (11) condenses a fiber bundle (F).
  • the suction pipe (17, 80) has a suction hole (30, 31, 81) extending from an upstream side to a downstream side in a moving direction of the fiber bundle (F).
  • the guide member (40, 60, 86) has a suction slit (44, 45, 64, 65, 88) formed in the guide portion (41, 61, 87) and aligned with the suction hole (30, 31, 81).
  • a width of the suction hole (30, 31, 81) and a width of the suction slit (44, 45, 64, 65, 88) are different at least on the upstream sides of the suction hole (30, 31, 81) and the suction slit (44, 45, 64, 65, 88).
