Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a yarn winder.
  • Patent Literature 1 is related to the preamble of claim 1 and discloses a yarn winder which is configured to unwind a yarn from a yarn supply package and to wind the yarn onto a winding bobbin so as to form a wound package.
  • the yarn winder includes a motor which is configured to rotationally drive the yarn supply package and a guide roller (direction changing unit) which is provided outside the yarn supply package in the radial direction of the yarn supply package.
  • the rotational shaft of the yarn supply package extends in the vertical direction.
  • the winding bobbin is provided above the yarn supply package (outside the yarn supply package in the axial direction of the yarn supply package).
  • the yarn winder structured as described above as the yarn supply package is rotationally driven, the yarn is unwound from the yarn supply package. Then, the yarn is guided upward (toward the wound package) by the direction changing unit.
  • the above-described direction changing unit is passively movable in the radial direction (horizontal direction) of the yarn supply package, and is biased by a spring. Because of this, the direction changing unit is moved by the variation in the distance of the yarn path so that the excessive tension of the yarn or the slack of the yarn is suppressed. As a result, the variation in tension is also suppressed.
  • a direction changing unit is passively moved in a direction orthogonal to a guide direction in which a yarn is guided by the direction changing unit. Therefore, problems such as the following problem may occur. That is, because a yarn running downstream of the direction changing unit in a yarn running direction is easily and significantly moved in the horizontal direction (i.e., is easily swung in the horizontal direction), a yarn path easily varies. Because of this, when a member is provided in the vicinity of the yarn path, the member may interfere with the yarn. In order to avoid the interference described above, there is a need of ensuring a wide space around the yarn path. This may result in increase of the size of the apparatus.
  • An object of the present invention is to suppress the variation of a yarn path due to the passive movement of a direction changing unit.
  • a first aspect of the present invention provides a yarn winder in accordance with claim 1 and configured to form a wound package by unwinding a yarn from a yarn supply package which is rotating and by winding the yarn onto a winding bobbin which is provided at least on one side of the yarn supply package in an axial direction of the yarn supply package, the yarn winder including a direction changing unit which is provided outside the yarn supply package in a radial direction of the yarn supply package and which is configured to guide the yarn to one side in a guide direction having a component in the axial direction, the direction changing unit being configured to be freely movable in a moving direction, the moving direction and the guide direction forming an angle which is 45 degrees or less, and a predetermined power being applied to the direction changing unit at least toward the other side in the guide direction.
  • the yarn having been unwound from the yarn supply package is guided toward the one side in the guide direction by direction changing unit.
  • the direction changing unit To the direction changing unit, power is applied at least toward the other side in the guide direction.
  • the yarn is always pulled by this direction changing unit. Because of this, a predetermined tension is applied to the yarn. Because the direction changing unit is freely movable, the variation in the tension of the yarn is suppressed as follows. For example, when the winding speed of the yarn is relatively fast as compared to the unwinding speed of the yarn, the direction changing unit is pulled to the one side in the guide direction by the yarn and passively moved. A yarn path is therefore short, and hence excessive tension of the yarn due to the difference between the relative speeds is suppressed.
  • the yarn when the winding speed of the yarn is relatively slow, the yarn is about to slacken.
  • the direction changing unit pulls the yarn Y while passively moving toward the other side in the guide direction.
  • the yarn path is therefore long, and hence the slack of the yarn due to the difference between the relative speeds is suppressed.
  • an angle formed between the moving direction of the direction changing unit and the guide direction is 45 degrees or less. Because of this, as compared to a structure in which the moving direction and the guide direction are orthogonal to or substantially orthogonal to each other, the large swing (variation of the yarn path) of the yarn due to the passive movement of the direction changing unit is suppressed. In this regard, the yarn runs downstream of the direction changing unit in the yarn running direction. Therefore, the variation of the yarn path due to the passive movement of the direction changing unit is suppressed.
  • the yarn winder of the first aspect is arranged such that the moving direction has a component in the vertical direction, and the predetermined power is the gravity.
  • the direction changing unit moves by means of the gravity. It is therefore possible to simplify the structure and to reduce the cost as compared to a structure in which power is applied to the direction changing unit by, e.g. , a spring. Furthermore, because the stable power provided by the gravity is applied to the direction changing unit, the running yarn is stably pulled. Because of this, tension is stably applied to the running yarn.
  • the yarn winder of the first or second aspect further includes a rail member which extends in the moving direction and which is formed to allow the direction changing unit to be freely movable.
  • the structure of a member configured to be passively moved is complex so that the mass (inertial mass) of the member configured to be passively moved is large, and hence the followability of the direction changing unit is deteriorated.
  • the structure of the member configured to be passively moved is simplified. As a result, the inertial mass of this member is decreased. Therefore, the followability of the direction changing unit is increased.
  • the yarn winder of any one of the first to third aspects is arranged such that the moving direction is parallel to the axial direction.
  • the direction changing unit moves so that a distance between the direction changing unit and the surface of the yarn supply package varies. As a result, the length of the yarn path varies. In the present invention, because the moving direction is parallel to the axial direction, the variation in length of such a yarn path is suppressed.
  • the yarn winder of any one of the first to fourth aspects is arranged such that the axial direction is parallel to the vertical direction.
  • the rotational shaft of the yarn supply package may be warped downward by the effect of the gravity so that the rotation of the yarn supply package is unstable.
  • the axial direction of the yarn supply package is parallel to the vertical direction. Therefore, the warping of the rotational shaft due to the gravity is prevented. It is therefore possible to suppress the rotation of the yarn supply package from becoming unstable.
  • the yarn winder of any one of the first to fifth aspects further includes a separation unit which is provided between the yarn supply package and the direction changing unit in a yarn running direction and which is provided outside the yarn supply package in the radial direction, and the separation unit is configured to be passively movable in the axial direction, and/or a contact part of the separation unit making contact with the yarn extends in the axial direction.
  • the yarn having been unwound from the rotating yarn supply package runs toward the direction changing unit while being traversed in the axial direction of the yarn supply package about the direction changing unit.
  • a traverse angle at which the yarn is traversed about the direction changing unit is large, the yarn path from the surface of the yarn supply package to the direction changing unit significantly varies during the traversing of the yarn.
  • the direction changing unit is provided to be apart from the yarn supply package so that the traverse angle is small, size of the device is disadvantageously increased.
  • the yarn having been unwound from the yarn supply package runs toward the direction changing unit via the separation unit.
  • the yarn path from the surface of the yarn supply package to the direction changing unit is long. Because the separation unit is passively movable and/or the contact part of the separation unit making contact with the yarn extends in the axial direction, the yarn is smoothly slid in the axial direction. Therefore, the traverse angle of the unwound yarn is arranged to be small while increase in size of a device is suppressed.
  • the yarn winder of any one of the first to sixth aspects further includes a yarn feed roller which is provided downstream of the direction changing unit in the yarn running direction.
  • the yarn feed roller sends the yarn further toward the downstream side in the yarn running direction
  • the yarn may slip on the circumferential surface of the yarn feed roller and may not be able to properly run.
  • the yarn is always pulled toward the other side (i.e., upstream side) in the guide direction by the direction changing unit, it is possible to suppress the yarn from being slackened on the upstream side of the yarn feed roller in the yarn running direction.
  • the yarn winder of any one of the first to seventh aspects further includes: a package supporting portion which rotatably supports the yarn supply package; and a base which vertically extends on one side of the package supporting portion in an intersecting direction intersecting with the vertical direction, wherein the package supporting portion is movable between an unwinding position where the yarn is unwound from the yarn supply package and a replacement position which is at least on the other side in the intersecting direction of the unwinding position.
  • yarn winders each of which is like the above-described yarn winder are often aligned in the horizontal direction.
  • a working space which is used at the time of the replacement of the yarn supply package is typically provided on the other side in the intersecting direction of the base.
  • the package supporting portion is immovable in this structure, when the yarn winders are aligned, it may be difficult to ensure a space for the replacement of the yarn supply package in each yarn winder.
  • the package supporting portion is moved to the replacement position which is far (i.e., on the working space side) from the base as compared to the unwinding position, a wide space for the replacement is ensured. It is therefore possible to facilitate the replacement of the yarn supply package.
  • the yarn winder of any one of the first to eighth aspects further includes: an unwinding driving unit configured to rotationally drive the yarn supply package; a winding driving unit configured to rotationally drive the wound package; a position detection unit configured to detect a position of the direction changing unit in the moving direction; and a controller configured to control at least one of the unwinding driving unit and the winding driving unit based on a detection result provided by the position detection unit.
  • the controller is configured to control at least one of the unwinding driving unit and the winding driving unit based on the detection result provided by the position detection unit.
  • the yarn winder of any one of the first to ninth aspects is arranged such that the position detection unit is an optical sensor configured to optically detect the position of the direction changing unit in the moving direction.
  • the direction changing unit is required to be formed of a conductor made of metal, etc. or to have such a conductor thereon. Therefore, the mass of the direction changing unit may be increased to obstruct the passive movement of direction changing guide. For example, in a structure in which a contact type position sensor is used, the sensor is easily worn away because the direction changing unit frequently moves. This may lead to an early deterioration of the sensor. In the present invention, because the position of the direction changing unit is optically detected, the increase in the mass of the direction changing unit and the early deterioration of the position detection unit, etc., are suppressed.

If the moving direction is tilted with respect to the axial direction of the yarn supply package Ps, the direction changing guide 23 moves so that a distance between the direction changing guide 23 and the surface of the yarn supply package Ps varies. As a result, the length of the yarn path varies. In this regard, because the moving direction is parallel to the axial direction of the yarn supply package Ps in the present embodiment, the variation in the length of the yarn path described above is suppressed.
  • the yarn Y having been unwound from the yarn supply package Ps is guided upward by the direction changing guide 23.
  • the gravity acts on the direction changing guide 23, and the yarn Y is always pulled downward by the direction changing guide 23 so that tension is applied to the yarn Y.
  • the tension is substantially determined by the magnitude of power in which the yarn Y is pulled downward by the direction changing guide 23. Because the direction changing guide 23 is freely movable, the variation in the tension of the yarn Y is suppressed as follows.
  • the direction changing guide 23 is pulled upward by the yarn Y and passively moved.
  • the yarn path is therefore arranged to be short.
  • the excessive tension of the yarn Y due to increase in tension is suppressed.
  • the yarn Y is about to slacken.
  • the direction changing guide 23 pulls the yarn Y while passively moving downward. As a result, the slack of the yarn Y due to decrease in tension is suppressed.
  • FIG. 4(a) is a graph showing a relationship between a difference (V2-V1) between the winding speed (V2) of the yarn Y and the unwinding speed (V1) of the yarn Y and the moving speed of the direction changing guide 23.
  • FIG. 4(b) is a graph showing variations over time of the position (to be precise, distance between the direction changing guide 23 and the position sensor 43 in the moving direction) of the direction changing guide 23.
  • the winding speed of the yarn Y is relatively increased because the unwinding speed of the yarn Y is decreased. Therefore, the direction changing guide 23 is pulled upward by the yarn Y and passively moved. As shown in FIG. 4(a) , when a value calculated by subtracting V1 from V2 is large, the moving speed ( ⁇ D/ ⁇ t) of the direction changing guide 23 is also large.
  • the yarn Y may drop off from the upper end face of the yarn supply package Ps and may not be able to properly run.
  • the distance (D) between the position sensor 43 and the direction changing guide 23 is longer than a distance (Da) between the position sensor 43 and the upper end face of the yarn supply package Ps in the axial direction of the yarn supply package Ps, the above-described problem occurs.
  • the distance between the position sensor 43 and the direction changing guide 23 is shorter than a distance (Db) between the position sensor 43 and the lower end face of the yarn supply package Ps, the same problem occurs.
  • the direction changing guide 23 is controlled to be always positioned inside the yarn supply package Ps in the axial direction of the yarn supply package Ps.
  • the controller 13 controls, for example, the unwinding motor 22 as described below so as to control the position of the direction changing guide 23.
  • a typical PID control may be used as a control method.
  • the controller 13 stores the information regarding a target position (target distance) of the direction changing guide 23 in the up-down direction.
  • the target distance is, e.g., a medium value (see FIG. 4(b) ) between the distances Da and Db described above.
  • An initial state is a state in which the unwinding speed of the yarn Y and the winding speed of the yarn Y are substantially identical with each other, the direction changing guide 23 is in substantially stationary at the target position, and the winding operation of the yarn Y is performed. After that, the unwinding speed of the yarn Y is decreased (a value calculated by subtracting V1 from V2 is larger than 0) due to decrease in the diameter of the yarn supply package Ps.
  • the controller 13 controls the unwinding motor 22 to increase the rotation speed of the yarn supply package Ps. Because of this, the unwinding speed of the yarn Y is relatively fast (a value calculated by subtracting V1 from V2 is smaller than 0), and hence the direction changing guide 23 moves downward. Meanwhile, when the position sensor 43 detects that the direction changing guide 23 moves below the target position, the controller 13 decreases the rotation speed of the yarn supply package Ps to decrease the unwinding speed of the yarn Y. Because of this, the unwinding speed of the yarn Y is relatively slow, and hence the direction changing guide 23 moves upward.
  • the controller 13 controls the unwinding motor 22 based on the detection result of the position sensor 43, and performs feedback control of the position of the direction changing guide 23. Because of this, the position of the direction changing guide 23 is arranged to be close (see FIG. 4(b) ) to the target position.
  • the angle formed between the moving direction of the direction changing guide 23 and the guide direction is small. Because of this, as compared to a structure in which the moving direction and the guide direction are orthogonal to or substantially orthogonal to each other, the swing (variation of the yarn path) of the yarn Y due to the passive movement of the direction changing guide 23 is suppressed. In this regard, the yarn Y runs downstream of the direction changing guide 23 in the yarn running direction. Therefore, the variation of the yarn path due to the passive movement of the direction changing guide 23 is suppressed.
  • the moving direction of the direction changing guide 23 is parallel to the up-down direction. Because of this, the direction changing guide 23 is moved by means of the gravity. It is therefore possible to simplify the structure and to reduce the cost as compared to a structure in which power is applied to the direction changing guide 23 by, e.g., a spring. Furthermore, because the stable power provided by the gravity is applied to the direction changing guide 23, the running yarn Y is stably pulled. Because of this, tension is stably applied to the running yarn Y.
  • the direction changing guide 23 is movably guided by the rail member 41. It is therefore possible to simplify the structure of the direction changing guide 23 and to decrease the inertial mass of the direction changing guide 23 as compared to cases where, e.g., a typical dancer roller connected to a dancer arm is used as the direction changing guide 23. As a result, the followability of the direction changing guide 23 is improved.
  • the yarn Y is pulled straight downward by the gravity acting on the direction changing guide 23. It is therefore possible to substantially determine the tension applied to the yarn Y in accordance with the weight of the direction changing guide 23, and hence a desired tension is easily applied to the yarn Y with a simple structure.
  • the moving direction of the direction changing guide 23 is parallel to the axial direction of the yarn supply package Ps. This suppresses the variation of the distance between the direction changing guide 23 and the surface of the yarn supply package Ps at the time of moving of the direction changing guide 23. It is therefore possible to suppress the variation in the length of the yarn path.
  • the axial direction of the yarn supply package Ps is parallel to the up-down direction. It is therefore possible to prevent the warping of the rotational shaft of the yarn supply package Ps due to the gravity. It is therefore possible to suppress the rotation of the yarn supply package Ps from becoming unstable.
  • the bar guides 42 are provided between the yarn supply package Ps and the direction changing guide 23 in the yarn running direction.
  • the yarn Y having been unwound from the yarn supply package Ps runs toward the direction changing guide 23 via the bar guides 42. Because of this, even when the direction changing guide 23 is not set apart from the yarn supply package Ps, the yarn path from the surface of the yarn supply package Ps to the direction changing guide 23 is long. Because the contact part of each bar guide 42 making contact with the yarn Y extends in the axial direction of the yarn supply package Ps, the yarn Y is smoothly slid in the axial direction. Therefore, the traverse angle ⁇ 1 of the unwound yarn Y is arranged to be small while increase in size of a device is suppressed.
  • the controller 13 controls the unwinding motor 22 based on the detection result of the position sensor 43. It is therefore possible to actively move the direction changing guide 23 by actively changing the difference between the winding speed of the yarn Y and the unwinding speed of the yarn Y. Because of this, the position of the direction changing guide 23 is controlled. For example, the feedback control is performed to move the position of the direction changing guide 23 close to the target position. It is therefore possible to suppress the large movement of the direction changing guide 23.
  • the position sensor 43 is an optical sensor, and configured to optically detect the position of the direction changing guide 23. If a magnetic sensor is used to magnetically detect the position of the direction changing guide 23, the direction changing guide 23 is required to be formed of a conductor made of metal, etc. or to have such a conductor thereon. Therefore, the mass of the direction changing unit 23 may be increased to obstruct the passive movement of direction changing guide 23. For example, in a structure in which a contact type position sensor is used, the sensor is easily worn away because the direction changing guide 23 frequently moves. This may lead to an early deterioration of the sensor. In the present embodiment, increase in the mass of the direction changing guide 23 and the early deterioration of the sensor, etc., are suppressed.
