Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of detecting the presence of a sliver at the entrance of a workstation of a textile machine for the processing of the sliver, in particular at the entrance of a textile machine for producing yarn from the sliver, during which the monitored sliver is conveyed at an entrance of the workstation of the machine by a sliver feeding device or by a sliver drafting device and the sliver feeding device or the sliver drafting device is driven by at least one individual electric drive connected to a control device equipped with a regulation loop for controlling the drive, wherein at least one quantity corresponding to the current load of said drive is sensed and the sensed quantity is evaluated.
  • the invention also relates to a device for detecting the presence of a sliver in a sliver feeding device or in a sliver drafting device at a workstation of a textile machine, in particular a textile spinning machine for producing yarn, wherein the sliver feeding device or the sliver drafting device comprises at least one roller coupled to an individual electric drive which is connected to a control device and to a power source, wherein the roller is arranged to transport the sliver.
  • the invention relates to a sliver drafting device or a sliver feeding device of a workstation of a textile machine for processing the sliver, in particular a spinning machine for producing yarn, which comprises at least one roller coupled to an individual electric drive which is provided with connecting means for connection to a power source and to a control device, wherein the roller is arranged to transport the sliver.
  • the invention relates to a textile machine for processing a sliver, in particular a spinning machine for producing yarn, comprising at least one sliver feeding device or sliver drafting device which comprises at least one roller coupled to an individual electric drive which is coupled to a power source and to a control device, wherein the roller is arranged to transport the sliver.
  • the detection of the presence of a sliver supply is an important function of automated spinning machines which transform the sliver supply into yarn. In the event that the sliver supply is not inserted into a feeding or drafting device, this situation needs to be detected and an automatic service device needs to be prevented from performing spinning-in functions.
  • Spinning machines with a traveling automatic service device use a sensor located on each automatic service device to detect the presence of the sliver in the feeding device or the drafting device, wherein the presence of the sliver is checked in the zone immediately upstream of the feeding or drafting device before starting the spinning process.
  • EP 3231902 discloses a sensor of the presence of a sliver at each spinning unit, wherein the sensor of the presence of the sliver is located at a distance before the sliver enters the drafting device.
  • the specific type of sensor used as a spring presence detector is not addressed in this document, only its separate existence is assumed.
  • Another possible use of the information about the absence of the sliver in the feeding or the drafting device is the creation of a request for the exchange of a sliver can/sliver reservoir.
  • the request is transmitted to the superior control system of the spinning mill, which ensures the exchange of the empty can for a full one by means of a human operator or an automatic conveying device.
  • This problem is addressed, for example, by US4150534 , without dealing with the principle and a specific embodiment of a sensor of the presence of the sliver.
  • document JP2009155781 solves this problem for a machine with a drafting device by means of a mechanically hinged sensor equipped with an encoder indicating the angular position of the sensor.
  • document CN106895776 solves the problem of detecting the presence of a sliver by means of a hinged arm touching the sliver and a sensor of the tilt angle of this arm.
  • Document GB2154619 deals with a specific technical embodiment of a sliver sensor which consists in the fact that a sliver guide is tube-shaped and inside the tube there is a light source and a light sensitive sensing cell. The passing sliver shadows the light source and the signal detected by the light sensor corresponds to this. A similar principle of sliver detection using passing light is used in the solution described in CN201276629 .
  • Document CN204185605 solves the detection of the presence of a sliver by means of an air pressure sensor which is arranged in a cavity through which the sliver passes.
  • Document GB2163781 deals with the regulation of the speed of a sliver feeding device to a spinning unit, wherein solutions using an inductive sensor, a variable resistance sensor or a piezoelectric pressure sensor as a sensor of instantaneous sliver weight are envisaged.
  • document IN202027050132 also published as EP3802926 , describes a method and a device for monitoring the parameters and characteristics of a sliver by measuring the load angle ( ⁇ ) and/or torque of one of the electric drives of the working organs of the spinning unit during the processing of the fibrous material into yarn.
  • These are primarily drives of processing means, realizing the actual production of yarn from fibrous material, for example the drives of a combing roller, a spinning rotor, a traversing device, yarn draw-off rollers or the drive of a wound bobbin.
  • the above-mentioned document does not deal with the detection of the presence of the sliver before entering the actual technological process of spinning the yarn.
  • EP 3 438 334 A1 describes the detection of the consumed length of a sliver from a sliver can at a workstation of an air-jet spinning machine in order to optimize the servicing operations at the workstation depending on the consumption of the sliver.
  • the object of the invention is to eliminate or at least reduce the disadvantages of the background art by means of a method and a device enabling detection of the presence of a sliver at the entrance of a spinning unit of a spinning machine before the sliver enters the yarn spinning process.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by the method, the device, the feeding or drafting device and the textile machine according to the present invention, the principle of which consists in monitoring and evaluating, prior to the beginning of the spinning-in process, i.e. during the preparation of the end of the sliver, or during the spinning-in process and/or during spinning, a change in the supply current and/or the power input and/or the speed of rotation of the individual drive of at least one electric motor in the area of the sliver input to a spinning unit of a respective workstation is sensed and evaluated, whereby transient phenomena arising in the regulation loop from changes in the mechanical load of the respective electric drive are analysed and a change in the size of the supply current and/or a change in the value of the power input and/or a change in the speed of rotation of this individual electric drive is detected.
  • the size of the detected change is evaluated and compared to a set decision level R of the change in the size of the supply current and/or the value of the power input and/or the rotational speed, and according to the result of this comparison, information is generated about the presence or absence of the sliver in the feeding or drafting device.
  • a rapid relative change in the current or the power are evaluated if the control system knows the exact moment when the introduction of the sliver should occur.
  • Modern air-jet spinning machines are equipped with a multi-stage drafting device, with at least some stages being driven by individual electric drives with electronic control systems, usually equipped with a control regulation loop, the primary objective of which is to maintain the speed of the individual electric drive at a set constant value.
  • Rotor spinning machines are also equipped with a feeding device for the input of the sliver into the technological process of yarn spinning, consisting of a feeding roller and an electric drive assigned to it, including an appropriate electronic control system with a regulation loop.
  • the regulation loop intervenes to maintain the set speed, wherein a so-called transient phenomenon can be observed, manifested by a short-term change in the speed or a change in the consumed current or power input.
  • Another possibility to increase the sensitivity of the detection of the presence of the sliver is to slow down or completely switch off the regulation loop of the individual electric drive which is intended for the sliver presence detection.
  • the value of the decision level of the supply current and/or power input and/or the speed of rotation of the respective individual drive of the individual spinning station can be determined centrally in control unit of the machine as an average of the measured values at the individual spinning units of the entire machine during spinning and idling and subsequently set at all control units of the workstations and/or a mere relative increase in the current or the input is evaluated, which is advantageous, especially if a sliver with a higher fineness is processed. This ensures that the decision level is sufficiently reliably determined and is always up-to-date regardless of the type and weight of the sliver and/or yarn supplied.
  • Another possibility of implementing the method according to the invention is the analysis of short-term changes in the angular speed of the respective electric drive during changes in load, caused by a change in the presence of the sliver in the feeding or drafting device of the spinning machine.
  • Both of the above-mentioned methods i.e., monitoring changes in the current consumption and/or the motor input and analyzing short-term changes in the angular speed can be combined in a suitable way and thereby achieve an even further increase in reliability when detecting the presence of the sliver in the feeding or the drafting device of the spinning unit of the respective workstation.
  • control system knows with relatively considerable accuracy at which moment after the start of the feed of the sliver the introduction of the sliver should actually take place, and therefore it is possible to create a certain time window C for monitoring the change in the supply current and/or the power input and/or the speed of rotation of the individual drive, so as to eliminate possible disturbing influences, arising, for example, during the start-up and run-up of the respective electric drive.
  • Another possibility of implementing the method according to the invention is the analysis of "permanent" changes in the speed of the respective electric drive during load changes, caused by a change in the presence of the sliver in the feeding or drafting device of the spinning machine with a constant motor input and the speed control regulation loop switched off.
  • the solution according to the invention may be implemented, for example, with a BLDC electric motor or a stepper motor.
  • the BLDC electric motor is usually controlled by an electronic control system which has the task of maintaining a constant speed even when the load changes. Since the usual regulation loop used for its control always has a certain non-zero time delay, a certain transition phenomenon occurs when the mechanical load changes due to a change in the presence of the sliver, manifested either by a short-term increase in the speed (at the moment of absence of the sliver) or a short-term decrease in the speed (when the presence of the sliver is restored). These changes, together with changes in the supply current or the power input, can be detected by the control system equipped with appropriate software.
  • a stepper motor it is possible to detect the mechanical power drawn, depending on the presence of the sliver in the relevant section of the drafting device.
  • the invention represents a reliable solution that does not require complicated assembly and primary adjustment, wherein it is feasible at relatively low costs and with the use of material and software components that are often already present on the textile machines and especially on the yarn manufacturing spinning machines.
