DESCRIPTION

Continuous ring spinning with device to supply flamed

The invention refers to a device and a method for producing twisted threads / threads with twisting effect in continuous spinning, in particular in continuous spinning yarn.

It is known the fact that in continuous ring spinning there can be programmed thickening of the thread, where in a selective way the stretching of the fiber ribbons in the ring spinning ring continuum is modified. These effects are also called base flamed and are composed of spinning fibers of one or more colors, stretched continuously, which have programmable thread thicknesses of approximately 3 to 10 cm. In contrast, the flames supplied are thickened in the twisted thread or thread that contains another fiber material, of another color. A twisted thread is composed of at least two support threads that are twisted with one another in a device provided for it. The supplied flames can be programmed continuously, in variable thicknesses, or in the start / stop operation. The use of fiber materials of different kinds allows a diverse, flexible use of the different dyeing capacity, corresponding to the market demand. Double and multiple handpieces that, in a controlled and programmed manner, provide fiber for spun differently or uniformly at the same delivery point in the area of a pair of extraction cylinders (the so-called delivery cylinders), are already known by publications from previous years. Below are some detailed procedures and devices known for the state of the art. As shown, all procedures are based on devices optimized for it.

Flamed supplied that in turn are supplied between two and several support threads are also present in the case of continuous twisting, as used for example for thick wire numbers. The disadvantages are the thick spacing of the spindles, the reduced production units and the missing fiber aspiration devices, so that they are unsuitable for that fine thread (for example thread numbers NM 30-70). The production of fantasy threads in large quantities, therefore, is not possible profitably.

Application DE2321762 (hereafter DE'762) was registered in 1973 on behalf of the company Braschler & Cie. and refers to a device for mixing threads. The device described in application DE'762 must be attributed to the same inventor of the invention described below. Application DE'762 points to a device for mixing wicks to produce fancy threads, where a continuous base wick is not required. All wicks can be varied in the same way and there is the possibility of working with more than two wicks. The device has at least two feeder devices in each case for a wick and a common output feeder device, a conduction device that is placed between the output feeder device and the feeder devices, to gather the wicks, a drive device for drive the feeder devices with a variable speed, and a control device for the individual control of the drives of the feeder devices. The device is considered advantageous for the production of fantasy twisted thread or fantasy thread. It is suitable for installation in continuous spinning or continuous twisting. The device is limited to the processing of different wicks. To produce flames in different colors, the wicks are supplied intermittently or with alternating speed, by means of a quadruple handle. The device has a comparatively complicated structure.

Application DE4041301 (hereafter DE'301) was registered in 1990 on behalf of the Amsler-Iro Corporation and must be attributed to the same inventor as the invention that is taken as the basis for this patent application. Application DE'301 refers to a procedure and a device for producing a twisted fantasy thread in a spinning continuum. In contrast to the prior art, in the DE'301 application, a continuous spin of compact construction, sensitively adjustable, for producing fancy twisted threads is described. The speed variations required to produce the fantasy thread are made possible by servomotors and an electronic controller. The device mentioned in the application DE'301 is suitable for use with the invention described in that application.

Application DE3206431 was registered in 1982 in the name of the Zinser Textilmaschinen Corporation and indicates a procedure to produce a fantasy thread. At the entrance of a manuar, a fiber tape is wound with at least one filament thread. That rolled fiber tape is stretched by a handle, so that the filament thread is broken. Next, the fiber tape is wound with the wick tight with the filament thread fragments. Next, the spinning wick is stretched in a ring spinning continuum and is turned into a fantasy thread.

Application DE707116 was registered in 1938 in the name of RudolfLandwehr and refers to a continuum of twisted fantasy thread, to manufacture fantasy threads such as loop threads, curly threads or wavy threads. In the continuous twisting of fantasy two feeder devices are used arranged one behind the other. He

rear feeder device, which runs more slowly, provides the base wire or base wires, while the previous feeder device, which runs faster, provides the thread or threads that are determined for the formation of the loops or curls. In order to gather the base threads that are provided by the slower feeding device, with the threads of the previous feeding device, the pressure cylinder resting on the previous feeding device is provided with grooves, through which the base threads pass of the rear feeder device. The device is designed for thread processing only.

Application DE1149650 was registered in 1958 in the name of the Public Company "Hamel, Projektierungs- und Verwaltungs" and shows a device for the production of fancy twisted threads with great elastic elongation. This is achieved using elastic material such as soul threads , for example, wavy thread The soul thread is stretched between two feeder devices Immediately before entering the last feeder device, one or more threads that produce the effect are delivered at a uniform or variable speed. last feeder device, in the path towards the torsion device, due to the reduced tension, the core threads contract, so that the desired effect is regulated.An example of execution is described in relation to Figure 2 to produce a fantasy thread with flamed effects, where three feeder devices are used, between a first feeder device and a Second feeder device extends an elastic soul strand. By means of another feeding device, a wick is supplied which, after leaving the strand of the soul, due to the stretching, results in thickening. It is a special device that so far has not had commercial success. A problem lies in the fact that the device is only suitable for producing the special threads described.

The application CH519039 was registered in 1970 in the name of the "Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization" and shows a device and a procedure to produce a regular thread, of at least two fiber tapes that are in motion. The fiber belts are conducted separately from a feed point to a convergence point, and at the convergence point they are twisted into a thread. A device provided to execute the production process in each case has a handle for the supply of a fiber tape from a feeding point to a convergence point. The device also has a device for cyclic modification of the length of the path between the convergence point and the feeding point of the fiber ribbons. One embodiment essentially consists of a traditional spinning rod with a multiple drawing device, which is arranged so that a fiber ribbon can be supplied to the rotor of a spinning spindle. However, the spinning handle is modified in this respect, so that between two stretching devices respectively and in the center between them there is only a single spindle. Another embodiment has only one handle that is suitable for preparing the two threads. The device is not suitable for producing fantasy threads with flamed. Application JP11350265 (hereinafter JP'265) was registered in 1998 in the name of Suzuki Sangyo KK. The JP'265 application points to a spinning device that is suitable for continuous spinning of different threads. According to the published figures, two spools of thread are arranged above a spinning position, the yarn of which is supplied to a spinning position by means of a selection and delivery piece. In application US 574 941 of C.H. Richardson of the year 1987 shows a spinning device with rings to produce flamed. In that case, two separate support threads, by means of a support thread guide and two handrails arranged laterally next to each other, are each supplied to a wick, in front of a pair of cylinders, and are then spun together.

An object of the invention is to show a process for producing fantasy threads, respectively twisted fantasy threads, in a ring spinning continuum, and a device for executing the procedure.

Another aspect of the invention consists in showing a device that is suitable for use with existing fully automatic spinning continuums, in particular continuous ring spinning, with a plurality of spindles (generally up to 1200), and characterized by its simple handling, thread guidance and monitoring.

Another aspect of the invention consists in showing a device that makes it possible to show continuous spinning of fine rings, modified according to the invention, for many variants of mixed threads, among other base flames, core threads, core threads with non-elastic filament , loop threads and other twisting effects.

Another aspect is to show a device that, in the case of thread breakage, does not lead to problematic thread accumulations, respectively that the affected spinning position is interrupted in a controlled manner.

The object is solved through the invention defined in the independent claim.

A solution of the object is based on the fact that a fancy twisted thread is produced with at least two support threads and thickening (flamed), from other fibers, by means of a ring spinning continuous equipped or specially modified for it. Continuous ring spinning known by the state of the art that are suitable for producing fancy threads have one or more spinning positions with in each case a handle that is used to stretch a wick or several wicks. The continuous spinning are made so that the

Supply speed of certain areas of the handle can be modified abruptly, so that the fibers that form the thread can accumulate in a controlled manner. In order to avoid thin points, partly controlled supercharging takes place, as well as underfeeding. When the handle no longer provides fibers, the spinning process is interrupted. By means of a pair of inlet cylinders, yarn is extracted from a wick, by deviations, and is supplied to a pair of belts located next to each other, driven by belts cylinders, and fastened through belts guides. Observed in the direction of transport, after the belts there is a pair of delivery cylinders that receive the wick that passes between the belts, extended, and lead it to a spinning triangle located behind the delivery cylinders. In the spinning triangle, the fibers of the wick, so far aligned approximately parallel and stretched against each other, are rotated to form a thread, where a metal ring (rotor) rotates on a circular track (ring), around of a spindle. The rotated fibers that have formed the thread are wound on a spinning support placed on the spindle, forming a bobbin. In this traditional spinning process, the fibers that come from the handle form the thread itself. While the inlet cylinders, belts and delivery cylinders of the handle have different transport speeds, the wick fibers are stretched evenly, as well as extended. When fantasy threads occur, the absolute and relative transport speed of the individual areas of the handle are influenced in such a way that a discontinuous transport of the fibers results and in the thread thickening occurs. However, in conventional fantasy threads the fiber supply never stops completely, since otherwise the spinning process is interrupted.

A fantasy thread according to the invention has essentially two or more support threads twisted with each other, with identical or different properties. If necessary, the fantasy thread has other threads that are driven between the support threads, by means of a handle, before twisting them. These other fibers, observed in the longitudinal direction, have a uniform distribution or are present in the form of local thickening (flamed). Other combinations are possible. The supply of the additional fibers, preferably, is controlled by a modified flame forming device, in a ring spinning continuum.

The support threads, in the area of the spinning triangle, are supplied for the yarn forming process of a spinning position, at a defined lateral distance from each other. In accordance with the invention, the support threads are supplied for the spinning process by means of a guide means of support thread, and in an embodiment by means of a pair of cylinders driven continuously or discontinuously. At the same time, after a predefined succession of regular or irregular fibers of a wick, they are prepared by means of the handle and are also supplied to the spinning process by means of a pair of cylinders. Depending on the field of application and the desired effect, the pair of cylinders can be the extraction cylinders of the handle or other guide means, for example a pair of separate cylinders or wire guides arranged next to each other. If necessary, at least one of the cylinders has a specially shaped profiled cross section, which is suitable for housing, guiding and / or tightening the support threads. In one embodiment, one of the cylinders has two continuous grooves that are arranged spaced apart from the support wires and that are used for driving without pressure.

Good results are obtained with comparatively simple support wire guide devices, which, with respect to the direction of support wire circulation, in the direction of the support wire clews, have one or more eyelets that are used to accommodate one or more support threads. Preferably, the eyelets have the shape of a spiral and are designed grooved, so that the support threads can be easily inserted together or individually. Observed in the direction of circulation of the support threads, under the eyelet, there is a separator that, arranged between the support threads in operation, keeps them at a defined distance from each other. If necessary, the separator can be designed so that it is suitable for the placement of a sleeve, for example ceramic, or other suitable material. Through sleeves with different diameters, the distance between the support threads can be easily regulated. In another embodiment, the support wire guide device, to regulate the relative distance of the support wires by spinning position, has an eccentric. The eccentric, through rotation, can deviate around an axis that extends approximately perpendicularly with respect to the direction of the support threads.

In an embodiment of the invention, for example, above each handle of a ring spinning continuum, one or more support devices are provided which are suitable for housing yarn cleats with supporting yarn. The support devices are arranged so that they do not interfere with existing elements of the spinning device, in particular with mobile blowers, as well as with the yarn clews. At least two support threads are supplied in a controlled manner, respectively, to a handle in the area of the spinning triangle, by means of strand guides. Depending on the field of application, two or more support threads are wound on the yarn balls respectively, which reduces the amount of support yarn balls per spinning position to one. If necessary, instead of one, two or more spools of yarn arranged laterally displaced can be provided, one behind the other, on top of each other or next to each other, with only one support wire, which however is associated with a certain inversion additional and an increased demand for space.

Unlike conventional ring spinning threads, the fibers supplied through the handle usually do not fulfill any support function and are completely or partially replaced by the support threads. The fibers supplied from the handle are used rather to produce effects, for example of the optical type, in the form of thickening or to produce color variations, or to influence the physical properties of the threads that are produced. Unlike traditional ring spinning processes, fiber supply through the handle is completely or only partially interrupted, as well as stopped, depending on the desired effect.

To prevent unwanted concentration of support wire from occurring in the event of a breakage of one of the support wires, a control device can be provided, as well as a thread monitoring system, which automatically interrupts the supply of support wire to the affected spinning position, in the case of a breakage of one of the support threads. In one embodiment, the control device has a scale maintained in equilibrium through the support wires, which is in active connection with a separation device. In the event that one of the support threads supplied in pairs is broken by spinning position, the scale deviates, so that the supply of the second support wire is also interrupted by means of the separation device. In addition, the control device is preferably structured so that the support threads can be easily threaded, being introduced from front to back, where they, by means of a wedge, rest separately on both sides of the scale, at sites provided therefor. . Depending on the embodiment, the control device is made so that the support threads are held in position in the case of the breakage of the strand, but so that the supply is interrupted. Depending on the field of application, however, it is more convenient to arrange the control device so that, in the case of a breakage of one of the support wires, the rest is also separated and the free ends of the support wires are wound up. on the ball of support wire. This reduces the risk of malfunction through the free support wires.

In an embodiment, from at least two additional thread coils, by means of thread guidance and control mechanisms according to the invention, observed in the direction of circulation, at least two support wires are supplied to the process in front of the delivery cylinders . The support threads pass between the delivery cylinders and reach the spinning triangle, where, due to the rotation of the rotor and the bobbin, they rotate with each other forming a thread and then wind up on the bobbin. Depending on the embodiment, the support wires are first transported through the driven delivery cylinders or other auxiliary means. The support threads, by means of the strand guides, are aligned and distanced so that fibers supplied by the handle reach at least some sections between the support threads, before they are twisted with each other in the spinning triangle. This leads to the fibers supplied with the handle, in the spinning triangle, forming a component of the strand that is produced. Depending on how the fibers are provided when handling, different effects result. In the case of a continuous feed, for example, a strand is made up of the two support threads and fibers supplied uniformly from the handle. The total thickness of the strand results from the thickness of the support threads and the amount of fibers supplied from the handle. In the case of a modification of the amount of fibers supplied from the handle, a thread with a variable thickness results. Through an abrupt modification of the amount of fibers supplied by the handle, flames of different length and conformation can be achieved. There is also the possibility of completely interrupting the fiber supply by means of the handle, so that the resulting thread is composed only of the support threads. Other parameters result from supply speed and mass flow. When handling itself, which so far has been used for the supply of primary fibers, proper, depending on the desired thread corresponds only to a secondary function, for example to produce effects of the thread.

The arrangement and presentation (preparation) of the feed balls containing the support threads is arranged below the fixing of the existing wick, on the handle. Thanks to this, damage to the mobile blower can be avoided. Another advantage lies in the fact that these components can be easily installed in existing spinning machines, without them being modified to a large extent.

Guide spacers position the feed balls placed in the longitudinal direction of the support cylinder and enable a contactless stop position with respect to the support cylinders. In one embodiment, one or more support cylinders (feed cylinders) operated positively in an adjustable relationship with respect to the delivery cylinders of the handle, support the support wire clews. The balls of support wire (feed balls) are located directly along a cover surface, at least in some sections on at least one support cylinder, or are in active connection therewith. For example, the balls of support wire can be supported at the same time on two support cylinders that are placed one behind the other. Laterally, the feeding balls are supported and guided by guide separators. If necessary, the guide separators have other guiding means for the support yarn clews, which are suitable for example to accommodate an axis, as well as an axis end of the support yarn clew. In one embodiment, two guide spacers arranged opposite each other, approximately radially with respect to the support cylinders, have guide grooves that extend obliquely or vertically upwards, which, in the axial direction, they are aligned with respect to each other, so that they are suitable to accommodate an axis of a ball of support wire. If necessary, in the rear area, away from the support cylinder, the grooves

The guide has a mounting surface, in which the axis of the support ball can be brought to a stop position, so that the ball of support wire is no longer in active connection with the support cylinder. The described arrangement of the support cylinder represents an aspect for a successful retrofitting of existing fantasy yarn spinning yarns, since only in that way does a space-saving arrangement become possible.

If necessary, variable stretching areas can be provided between the support cylinders and the delivery cylinders of the handle, by means of which the tension and stretching of the support wire can be regulated.

In one embodiment, the tension of the support wire is compensated through stirrups arranged upstream of the support cylinders, in parallel or inclined with respect thereto. The stirrups have an area that, during the unwinding of the support wires, is in contact with them. That area of the stirrup is approximately the width of a ball of support wire. The tension of the support wire is compensated in particular by arranging the stirrups at an angle with respect to the axis of the support cylinder. If necessary, the stirrups can be actively connected with a release mechanism, whereby the balls of support wire can be raised from a stop position with a simple maneuver and can be brought to the working position. Good results are achieved when the release mechanism acts on both sides on the shaft end of the ball of support wire.

Preferably, the support cylinders are arranged in pairs as one behind the other and in parallel with respect to the longitudinal direction of the spinning continuum (transversely with respect to the spindles). Depending on the type of machine there is the possibility of designing the cylinder or support cylinders so that they extend only over certain areas or over the entire length of the spinning continuum.

Preferably, the support cylinders are operated laterally and rotate essentially at a constant speed that is relatively adjusted to the transport speed of the delivery cylinder of the handle or of the corresponding handles, so that an optimal supply of support wire is guaranteed. The drive speed can be adjusted in a certain range (for example +/- 5%), so that different thread conditions and strains can be considered. If necessary, the support cylinders are operated discontinuously, where the support threads are not tightened in the pair of extraction cylinders (for example, cylinder with continuous grooves) and the direction of the rotor and bobbin stretching causes the extraction. This variant makes it possible to produce loop effects, flamed and curled in continuous ring spinning.

The support cylinders can consist of several segments that interact with each other at their ends. This allows maximum flexibility, for example in the case of a subsequent installation or in case of wear marks. Similarly, the support cylinders can be ideally adjusted to the support wire to be processed.

In one embodiment, the segments of the support cylinders are actively connected by connecting elements, which are used at the same time as support elements, where they, with an external surface with rotational symmetry, rest on one or more guide rollers supported with respect to continuous spinning. To achieve increased traction, support cylinders may have surfaces that increase traction, for example in the form of knurls or coatings.

In one embodiment, the feed balls are folded twice beforehand, that is, they contain two or more support wires placed in parallel. If necessary, there is the possibility of providing one or more pairs of support wires in a feed ball. In this way, several spinning positions can be handled from only one feeding ball. This offers the advantage that the amount of the required support yarn balls can be reduced. Another advantage lies in the fact that only very little space is needed, so that the device itself is suitable for continuous use of spinning rings provided for cotton, with a very narrow separation (distance between spinning positions individual) of approximately 70 to 82.5 mm. If there is more space, there is the possibility of using two balls of individual support wire instead of a ball of support wire folded double beforehand. The defined stretch between the delivery cylinder of the handle and at least one feed cylinder controls the desired tension and compensates for voltage variations.

One embodiment has a guide of the support wire, which is arranged in the area of the extraction cylinders. By means of a fastener, the guide of the support wire is fixed in the transverse profile of the wick of the ring spinning continuum. This guarantees an optimized synchronization of the support wires and the wick.

Another aspect consists of an active monitoring of the support threads by means of a thread monitoring system, which is preferably arranged in front of the delivery cylinder. The thread monitoring system verifies if all the support threads necessary for the spinning process are actually present. If one of the support threads is missing, this leads to an interruption of the spinning process, where for example it is also prevented from

controlled form the supply of the remaining support wires or are redirected by means of a drive of the feed ball. A strand monitoring system generally contains a strand sensing device and a strand separation device that, between the feed ball and the delivery cylinder of the support cylinder, interacts with the support wires. Preferably, the position is synchronized with the flow of fiber material, so that the integration of the fiber material supplied is optimized by means of the spinneret handle, for example to form the flame.

A mechanical embodiment of the strand sensor works with the pre-tension of the strand. By means of a prestressed scale with a spring, which can be deviated regularly symmetrically to the left and to the right, the presence of the threads is controlled, where the threads, due to their pre-tension, keep the scale in a position central. If one of the two support strands is missing, the pre-tension of the remaining strand is sufficient, so that the scale deviates so that the remaining strand is cut. Without support threads it ensures that an incorrect thread is not spun. If necessary, the central position of the scale can be secured by means of suitable centering elements, in a defined way, until a certain deflection force is reached. In an embodiment, this is achieved by a magnet that exerts a force on the scale in the central position, which is high enough that the scale itself does not deviate uncontrollably in the case of vibrations. or shaking The magnitude of the force, in this embodiment, can be regulated, for example, by the distance between the magnet and the scale. A thread sensor according to the invention is preferably characterized in that it can be placed simply. Alternative forms of execution are possible. An essential aspect lies in the fact that the support threads can easily be threaded into the continuous spinning yarn that is in operation.

If necessary, in the area of the extraction cylinders, a guide wire support device is arranged so that it can be precisely adjusted for distance and / or alignment. Depending on the form of execution, it is arranged so that it can be changed (deviated laterally) in the transverse profile of the wick, or fixedly with respect to the delivery cylinders.

A supply of the fibers that produce an effect preferably takes place by means of a modified base flame installation. This contains a programmable controller for the desired types of flame shapes and flame sequences. A characteristic consists of an adequate forward movement of the handle, by means of a suitable ramp, during start-up and during braking. Conveniently, the supply is accelerated at the beginning and after the formation of the flaming, the feed handle not only slows down, but also rotates a little so that excess fibers that meet the tip in the area of the tightening point of the delivery cylinders do not break unwantedly between the flamed ones, causing dirt in the fibers. As shown, the handling of the spinning continuum in the normal production mode (operating state) can be performed well for normal spinning. For the "Injected Slub" mode of operation there are two components that are treated individually, which are stopped by spindle, and which must be spun again individually. In particular in the case of thread breakage and their elimination, during ongoing operation, problems can occur in three and four continuous cylinder spinning; Since the oscillating support is placed under pressure for two spindles respectively, the individual pressure cylinders cannot be removed. One aspect of the invention is based on remedying that problem. A special delivery cylinder (pressure cylinder) contains on both sides of the oscillating support a lifting device, for example in the form of an eccentric support roller, which, in the activated state, raises the pressure cylinder individually , while the second pressure cylinder can continue working in the correct position. This achieves the objective that all ongoing processes can be interrupted by spindle.

The components of a fantasy spinning device according to the invention as described, which usually do not belong to a commercial ring spinning device, are suitable for being made available in the form of a mounting kit, for reconditioning a Continuous ring spinning usual in commerce. An assembly kit of that kind essentially contains a support wire holder to accommodate at least one ball of support wire to handle a spinning position. The mounting kit also contains a support wire guide adjusted to the support wire holding device, for feeding at least two support wires spaced apart from one another, in the area of a pair of cylinders arranged in front of a spinning triangle. The support wire guide of the mounting kit may have an internal guide that is used to deflect the support wires in front of the spinning triangle. Depending on the field of application and the continuous ring spinning, the internal guide can be designed as a cylinder, stirrup or eccentric, or as an element with an E-shaped cross-section. In an embodiment of the assembly kit, The support thread holder has a support cylinder arranged in the longitudinal direction of the continuous ring spinning, actuated so that it can rotate around its longitudinal axis, which, during the spinning process, is in active connection with the minus a ball of yarn supporting a spinning position. The support cylinder, in that embodiment, during the spinning process is in active connection with a cover surface of the ball of support wire. Other forms of execution are possible. If necessary, a hoist of support wire is present with a lifting device that is used to temporarily interrupt the active connection between the ball of support wire and the support cylinder, decoupling the ball of support wire from the drive. The lifting device can be rotatably arranged

around the support cylinder or another axis. In one embodiment, it has a sickle-shaped cross section. While in the support cylinder formed by several standard segments its ends can be actively connected directly to each other or by means of intermediate elements, the length can be adjusted flexibly in different continuous ring spinning. The intermediate elements can be used as part of a freely rotatable support. In an embodiment of the construction module, the support wire holder has two guide spacers spaced apart from one another by means of the support wire, which are arranged essentially perpendicularly with respect to a support cylinder, so that between them at least one ball of support wire is disposed in each case which, during operation, is in active connection with at least one support cylinder along a line of cover, at least temporarily. The guide spacers can have guide means in the form of grooves that are used for housing a shaft of a ball of support wire and that are arranged radially with respect to a support cylinder. The support cylinder can be used to drive support yarn balls of various spinning positions.

If necessary, it is possible to wind several pairs or groups of support threads into a ball of support thread. 15 Due to this, the amount of bobbins of the supporting wire can be reduced, as well as several spinning positions can be handled at the same time from a bobbin of supporting yarn. However, in this embodiment, problems may occur in the case of a break in the support wire. For winding the various pairs or groups of support threads a suitable winding device is provided correspondingly, which is equipped with a winding head, which allows the required amount of pairs or groups of support threads to be wound in a 20 ball of support wire. If necessary, the winding head is designed so that several support threads can be adjusted relatively relative to each other in terms of their distance.

Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 show a handle 3 of a spinning position 2 of a ring spinning continuum 1 according to the invention, from the front (Figure 1), in a side view (Figure 2) and in a perspective representation (figure 3). A ring spinning continuum 1 usually has a plurality of spinning positions 2 arranged next to each other, respectively with one or usually with two spindles of the type described above (not shown in detail). Spinning positions 2 are equipped with a corresponding amount of handpieces 3 that normally, during ring spinning, are used as the sole supply of the fibers to be processed. The operation of the handles 3, however, is completely modified in the invention, where they are mainly used to produce an effect and are no longer the main fiber suppliers.

The handle 3 shown has a symmetrical structure with first and second input cylinders 4, 5 arranged in pairs, which are operated through a first drive shaft 6. The second input cylinders 5 are arranged in this case in one arm protruding 7 and, through it, during the spinning process, are pressed against the first input cylinders 4 by elastic force. The handle 3 also has in each case a pair of first and second delivery cylinders 8, 9; through which normally the fibers that must be processed leave the manuar, before being spun. The first pair of delivery cylinders 8 is driven by a second drive shaft 10. The second pair of delivery cylinders 9 is driven indirectly through the first delivery cylinders 8, where they are also pressed against the first delivery cylinders 8, by means of the projecting arm 7. If necessary, lifting devices are provided, for example in the form of a wedge, an eccentric or a lever mechanism, by means of which the second delivery cylinders 9 can be raised individually temporarily from the first delivery cylinders 8, while the opposite cylinder remains actively connected. Between the input cylinders 4, 5 and the delivery cylinders 8, 9 there are arranged first belts 13 driven through a third drive shaft 12 and second belts 14 passively driven by the first belts 13. The second belts 14 they are also arranged on the projecting arm 6, which, during the spinning operation, presses elastically against the first straps 13. The first straps 13 are held through first straps cylinders 15 and a first straps guide 16, in this case with an essentially triangular cross section. The second belts 14, in their posterior (consecutive) area, are deflected through second cylinders for passively driven belts 18, which are also arranged in the protruding arm 7. In the previous area they are held through second belt guides 19 which are also arranged in the protruding arm 7. The belt guides 16, 19 are designed so as to press the belts 13, 14 against each other during the spinning operation. In the representation shown, the components that are presented in pairs respectively are arranged symmetrically with respect to the projecting arm 7, but are partially covered by it and, therefore, can only be seen individually.

Above the handles 3, in the embodiment shown, two wick coils 20 are arranged laterally side by side, from which wick 21 is unwound and, by deviations 22, is supplied to the handles 3 by means of the cylinders of inlet 4, 5. The wick coils 20 are usually placed above the handles 3 in racks, as well as in holding racks (see Figures 8 and 9), so that they hang vertically.

Between the handles 3 and the wick coils 20 there can be seen a support thread holder 30 which is used to accommodate support thread 32 wound in support wire clews 31. The support yarn clews 31 are folded twice in advance. This means that two or more support threads 32 are wound by ball of support wire 31, parallel to each other, so that fewer balls are needed. In the embodiment shown, the support wire holder 30 comprises two cylinders of support wire 33 (support wire trees) actuated so that they rotate about its longitudinal axis, which are arranged one behind the other, parallel to each other. the longitudinal direction of the machine (y direction). The support wire trees 33, advantageously, extend over several spinning positions, thus operating several support wire balls 31 at the same time. The support yarn balls 33, at least during the spinning operation, are in active connection with the support yarn trees 33. Due to the rotation of the support yarn trees 33, the support yarn clews 31 are driven with speed constant circumferential, so that the support wire 31 is delivered with adequate speed and controlled tension. The support wire trees 33 prevent unwanted overfeeding at the same time and are used to control the tension of the support wires 32. If necessary, the drive of the support wire tree 33 is designed so that the relative transport speed of the Support wire can be adjusted with respect to the spindle speed, as well as the (average) speed of the delivery cylinders 8, 9; in a certain tolerance range, for example from + 5% to -5%. In the embodiment shown, the support wire shafts 33 are used as a deviation for the support threads 32 that are wound from the support wire clews 31 and are supplied for the spinning process by means of the delivery cylinders 8, 9 of the handle 3, in front of a spinning triangle 50. The support wire trees 33, if necessary, have a surface that increases traction, for example in the form of a knurling or a lining, so as to ensure a regular delivery of the support threads 32.

Observed in the axial direction, on both sides of the support wire clews 31 are guide separators 34 which define the axial position of the support wire clews 31 with respect to the support yarn trees 33.

Guide separators 34 have openings 35 in the form of grooves, which are arranged essentially radially with respect to a support wire shaft 33 at an angle a and are suitable for guiding a support shaft 36 of a support wire ball 31. The support wire trees 33 usually extend over several spinning positions and are suitable for the simultaneous actuation of several support wire clews 31. The guide separators 34, in the area of the rear end of the openings 35 in the form of grooves, have a seat 37 which is suitable to accommodate the support shaft 36 of a ball of support wire 31, so that the ball of support wire 31 is no longer in active connection with the support wire shaft 33 (rest position).

One of the support wire clews represented in figures 2 and 3 is in that resting position (see figure 2 on the right), the other is in active connection with the support thread tree 33 (see figure 2 a the left).

As can be clearly seen in Figures 2 and 3, the support threads 32 are removed around the support thread trees 33, from the support thread clews 31. The embodiment shown, for each side of the handle 3, has a ball of separate support wire 31, in each case with two support wires 31 wound in parallel. To each ball of support wire 31 is associated a cylinder of driven support wire 33, which supports the ball of support wire 31 along a cover line and manages the delivery of the support wire 32. In the embodiment shown , the support wire trees 33 are placed essentially at the same height one behind the other (x direction). The support thread 32 of the support thread ball 31 arranged behind it, observed in the x-direction, is used for the supply of the right spinning position and the support thread 32 of the support thread ball 31 arranged in front is used for the supply of the left spinning position (see figure 3). The clamping device 30 for the support yarn clews 31 is designed so that it can be subsequently incorporated into an existing ring spinning continuum with minimal investment, without negatively affecting its operation. Another arrangement and fastening of the ball of support wire 31 leads to an essentially complicated structure and, thus, an increase in the cost of the device.

Depending on the form of execution and the field of application, instead of two separate support wire trees there is the possibility of providing a single support wire tree. The support wire trees 33 of the embodiment shown rotate in a counter-rotating manner with respect to each other (figure 2, left side: counterclockwise; figure 2, right side: clockwise). After the support threads 32 were removed from the support thread clews 31 around the support thread shafts 33, they are supplied to a support thread guide device 38. The support thread guide device 38, regardless of the field of support application, it is a simple thread guide, as depicted here, of a thread guide device and monitoring device 38. If necessary, other thread guides are provided. The thread monitoring device 38 is used to ensure that both support threads 32 are always present in the spinning operation, where it is configured so that, in the case of a breakage of one of the support threads 32, it also interrupts the supply of the other support thread 32. The support thread guide device 38 is configured so that the support threads 32, in a fiber delivery area 52, are supplied for the spinning process at a defined distance to (see Figure 3) of one with respect to another. The support wire guide device 38 may be designed so that the distance a can be adjusted.

Figure 4 shows the detail C of Figure 3 in an enlarged representation. The handles 3 can be observed with the input cylinders 4, 5; the delivery cylinders 8, 9 and the belts 13, 14 arranged between them. Respectively the upper input cylinders 4, passively operated, the delivery cylinders 9 and the belts 14 are fixed on the projecting arm 7 which can rotate upwards. The thread guide device and monitoring device 38, in the embodiment shown, is placed on a transverse rail 41 that can be laterally deflected, by means of a clamp 40, by means of which the thread guide device 38, as well as a guide wire 24 (ceramic guide) arranged behind the handles 3), can be moved sideways and sideways (represented schematically by arrows F). As a result, irregular wear of the delivery cylinders 8, 9 is counteracted. If necessary, the wire guide devices 24, 38 can also be fixedly arranged. The transverse rail 41 is a fastener that, usually arranged behind the handles, extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the machine. The operation of the thread guide device and monitoring device 38 is explained in detail in Figure 5. A thread 22 of the type according to the invention usually has at least two support threads 32 twisted with each other, among which other fibers are inserted 21, from the handle 3. The other fibers 21 may be integrated in the form of flames 23 (local thickening) or continuously.

To produce loop threads the support threads can be decoupled from the extraction cylinders, wherein the extraction cylinders are provided with grooves that extend tangentially (not shown in detail), in which the support threads 32 are arranged. circumferential grooves reduce local traction. To reduce friction and enable relative movement without difficulty, the internal surfaces of the grooves may be provided with a coating that reduces friction. Alternatively or complementary, separate rollers can be arranged in the grooves that can rotate independently of the extraction cylinders. In that case, the support wire guides 38 are fixedly arranged and do not deviate laterally, or the extraction cylinders 8, 9 are deflected together with the cross rails.

A mechanical wire and monitoring device 38 according to the invention is shown in Figure 5, in an anterior view (x direction). The embodiment shown is structured so that the support threads 21 can be threaded quickly and easily from the front, along a first and a second area (fiber guide route) 51. Particularly in the case of continuous ring spinning with high thread numbers this is considered especially relevant for economical operation. Therefore, the support wire guide device 38 is structured so that the support wires 32 are delivered at a defined distance. The guiding device may be structured so that the distance to be regulated.

Regardless of the field of application of the device, active monitoring of the support wires 32 by means of a thread monitoring system 38 is important, so that in the case of a breakage of one of the support wires 32 the remaining support wire is no longer supplied. , without damaging the spinning process. The thread monitoring system 38 verifies that all the support threads 32 necessary for the spinning process are effectively present. If one of the support threads 32 is missing, this leads to an interruption of the spinning process, where for example the supply of the remaining support threads 32 is also prevented in a controlled manner or they are redirected to the corresponding support yarn ball. A strand monitoring system generally contains a strand sensing device and a strand separation device that, between the feed ball and the delivery cylinder of the support cylinder, interacts with the support wires. Preferably, the position is synchronized with the flow of fiber material, so that the integration of the fiber material supplied is optimized by means of the spinneret handle, to form the flaming. The mechanical embodiment shown, of the strand sensor 38, works with the pre-tensioning of the support threads 32. The strand sensor 38 has a base plate 44 and a scale 43 rotatably mounted around an axis 42, prestressed by means of a spring (which cannot be observed). Since the scale 43 can be deflected regularly symmetrically to the left (figure 5b) and to the right (figure 5c), the presence of the support threads 32 is controlled, where the support threads 32 keep the scale 43 in a position central (figure 5a), due to its pre-tension. Now, if one of the two support threads 32 is missing, as shown in Figures 5b and 5c, then the pre-tension of the remaining support thread is sufficient, so that the scale deviates so that the remaining strand is broken. In the embodiment shown here, the scale 43 has cutting blades 44 that separate the support threads 32. Through a cut of the support threads 32 it is ensured that an incorrect thread is not spun. If necessary, the central position of the scale 43 can be secured by a suitable centering element, in a defined manner, until a certain deflection force is reached. In an embodiment, this is achieved by a magnet that in the central position exerts a certain force on the scale, which is high enough that the scale itself does not deviate uncontrollably in the case of vibrations or shaking The magnitude of the force, in this embodiment, can be regulated, for example, by the distance between the magnet and the scale.

Figure 6 shows another embodiment of a ring spinning continuum 1 according to the invention, from the front obliquely and from above. Figure 7 shows the detail D of Figure 6. For the general description, refer to Figures 1 to 4. Unlike the embodiment according to Figures 1 to 4, the variant shown in Figures 6 and 7 presents a simplified support wire guide device 45, which is comprised of a guide element 46 with two support wire guide channels 47, 48; arranged next to each other. The guide element is here made of one piece and has an essentially E-shaped cross section. If necessary, the support wire guide device 46 is configured so that the distance between the support wire guide channels 47 can be adjusted, 48. In the case of a breakage of the support threads 32 the supply of wire is not interrupted. This results in the fact that usually only strong support threads can be processed that do not break. Otherwise expensive manual controls are necessary. The support wire guide device 46 is fixed on the cross rail 41 by means of the clamp 40 and, through it, moves from one side to the other in the direction and, during operation, so that the delivery cylinders 8, 9 do not wear irregularly. The guide element 46 is arranged on a base 49 which is preferably composed of plastic. The base is designed so that it can be fixed in a flexible and simple manner on the fastener 40, for example by means of a hook or a socket. The support wire guide device 46 is preferably composed of a wear-resistant material, such as ceramic or hard metal. The device can be further simplified when the support wire guide device 46 is not arranged on a transverse rail 41, but fixedly in place.

Figure 8 shows a sector of another embodiment of a ring spinning continuum 1 according to the invention with several spinning positions 2 arranged next to each other. Figures 9, 10 and 11 show parts and sectors of the device according to Figure 8. In Figure 9, the support wire holding device 30 and a part of the handles 3, including its drive shafts 6, 10, 12 can be seen and the support bar 11 of the projecting arm 7. Figures 10 and 11 show a ball of support wire 31 between two guide spacers 34, above two support cylinders 31, in a perspective view (figure 10) and in a view lateral (figure 11).

As can be seen in Figure 8, the ring spinning continuum 1, with respect to the y-z plane, has a symmetrical structure. The arrangement of the support yarn clews 31 containing the support yarns is arranged below an existing wick 25, with wick coils 20, on the handles 30. The mobile blowers (not shown) are prevented from moving in the longitudinal direction (y direction) along the continuous spinning ring 1 are affected. Another advantage lies in the fact that these components can

easily installed in the existing ring spinning continuum, without them being modified to a large extent.

Another or several support cylinders (feed cylinders) 33, positively actuated in an adjustable relationship with respect to the delivery cylinders 8, 9 of the handles 3, support the support wire clews 31 for the support threads. Preferably, the support cylinders 33 are arranged in pairs as one behind the other and in parallel with respect to the longitudinal direction (direction y) of the ring spinning continuum 1 (transversely with respect to the spindles). As can be seen, the support cylinders 33 extend essentially over the entire length of the ring spinning continuum 1, which enables a simple, cost-effective structure. In each case, two support cylinders 33, arranged spaced one behind the other, are used for the accommodation of support yarn clews 31, where they are supported on support cylinders along a cover line. Guide separators 34 arranged vertically (xz plane) between the support wire clews 31, position the support wire clews 31 placed in the longitudinal direction (direction y), and prevent them from touching. The guide spacers here have guide grooves 35 on both sides, essentially radially arranged, which are suitable to accommodate a support shaft (shaft) 36 of a ball of support wire 31. The guide grooves 35 extend obliquely here towards above. The guide grooves 35, in the rear area, have a seat 37 which is used to accommodate the support shaft 36 of the support wire ball 31 in a rest position, in which the support wire ball 31 is no longer in an active connection with the support cylinder 33. The support cylinders 33, preferably, are operated laterally, in a counter-rotating manner, with a drive means (not shown in detail) and rotate essentially at constant speed, so that a regular supply of support wire to the spinning positions 2. In order to achieve an increase in traction, the support cylinders 33 present here a surface of increased traction in the form of a knurling. If necessary, the feed balls are folded twice beforehand. This offers the advantage that the amount of the required support yarn balls can be reduced. An advantage lies in the fact that the arrangement shown of the support yarn clews 31 only needs very little place, so that the device itself is suitable for continuous use of ring spinning provided for cotton, with a separation very narrow (distance between individual spinning positions) of approximately 70 to 75 mm. The structure of the handles 3 corresponds essentially to that of figures 1 to 4, and for that reason it is not explained again.

To each ball of support wire 31 is associated a driven wire tree 33 that supports the ball of support wire and manages the delivery of the support wire (not shown in this case). The support threads are extracted from the support thread clews 31, around the support thread shafts 33, and are supplied to a support thread guide device 38. The support thread guide device 38 is here a guide device for thread and monitoring 38, which ensures that during the spinning operation all the necessary support threads are present, where it is designed so that, in the case of a breakage of one of the support threads, it is also interrupted the supply of the other support wire. In certain applications that device can be used instead of a simple support wire guide. In the embodiment shown, the thread guide and monitoring device 38, by means of a clamp 40, is placed on a transverse rail 41 that can be laterally deflected, by means of which the thread guide device 38, as well as a thread guide arranged behind the handles 3, it can move laterally (direction y) from one side to the other (other embodiments are possible depending on the field of application), so that irregular wear of the delivery cylinders 8, 9 is avoided.

As can be seen in particular in Figure 9, between two support cylinders 33 respectively there is arranged a longitudinal support 29 (made here as a profile rail), in which the guide spacers 34 are fixed, for example through suspension fixing. The support cylinders 33 are in this case composed of segments 54 of an extruded aluminum profile, which, at their ends, are actively connected (coupled) by joining elements 55. The joining elements 55 are used thereto. time for mounting with free rotation of the support cylinders 33 with respect to supports (projections) 56 and for transmission of the driving torque. The supports 56 are arranged in the ring spinning continuum 1 at regular distances (only one can be seen here), in correspondence with the length of the segments 54. In the embodiment shown, the connecting elements 55 are made as parts injection molded, which, for the transmission of the driving torque, are positively engaged in at least some sections with the profile of the segments 54. The connecting elements 55 are used at the same time as support means of the support cylinder 33. To this end, they have an external support surface 58 that rests on support points 59 of the supports 56, provided therefor. The support points, in the embodiment shown, are openings in the upper area of the supports 56, in which rollers (which cannot be observed) are arranged. If necessary, the drive of the support cylinders 33 may be integrated in the supports 56.

In Figures 10 and 11 it can be seen that the guide spacers 34, designed here as injection molded parts, are arranged on the longitudinal support 29, and are fixed in the desired place by a tightening joint 39. It can also be clearly seen how the support shaft 36 of the support wire ball 31 is arranged in the guide grooves 35 which extend essentially radially with respect to a support cylinder 33, so that the support wire ball 31 is supported with its cover on the support cylinder 33 Lifting devices 57 can be seen between the guide spacers by which they can easily be prevented

temporarily the active connection between a ball of support wire 31 and a support cylinder, without the ball of support wire 31 having to be raised in its resting position in the seat 37. The lifting devices 57 are made of plastic, made as half-shells with an essentially sickle-shaped cross section. The lifting devices 57 are hooked on the support cylinder 33 and by means of a control lever 58, around the support cylinder 33, can be moved from a first to a second position. In the first position, the ball of support wire 31 is in active connection with the support cylinder 33. In the second position, the area of the lifting device 57 with the sickle-shaped cross section is elevated at least in some sections below of the ball of support wire 31, so that it is no longer engaged with the rotating support cylinder 33.

Figures 12 and 13 show another embodiment of a ring spinning continuum 1, obliquely from above (figure 13) and obliquely from below (figure 12). Figure 14 shows the detail E of Figure 13. The ring spinning continuum 1 corresponds to a large degree to the ring spinning continuums 1 of the preceding embodiments, according to Figures 1 to 11, so that for the General description refers to them. Unlike the preceding embodiments, the embodiment shown here has a guide of support wire 60 that conducts support wires 32, at a defined distance, from one to another, in the direction of movement, behind of delivery cylinders 8, 9; in the area of a starting point of the wick 22, from the handle 2 towards the spinning triangle 50. If necessary, the support thread guide 60 is configured so that the distance a can be regulated. The wick guide 60, in this case, by means of a clamp 41, is actively connected to the transverse rail 41 and, through it, periodically deviates laterally (direction y), so that the cylinders of the handle 2 do not They wear out on one side. Depending on the field of application, it can be fixedly arranged. The support wire guide 60 shown has an external guide

62 and an internal guide 63. The external guide 62 deflects the support threads 32 around the handle 2 and the internal guide 63 is used for the actual delivery to the spinning triangle 50. The internal guide 63 is made here as a stirrup, the which is arranged so that, around an axis 64, by means of an adjustment screw 65, it can be adjusted in terms of angle and alignment. The internal guide 63 may also be a ceramic or cylinder element, for example one or more cylinders with or without continuous grooves. If necessary, the internal guide

63 is realized so that the distance between the support wires can be regulated, for example where the internal guide 63 has two separate guide means, the distance to which can be regulated in a variable way. The stirrup shown offers the advantage that it can be placed very simply and quickly. Alternatively or complementary, guide means with an essentially E-shaped section or with another cross-section can be used. The external guide 62 is also arranged on the axis 64. At least the internal guide 63 essentially has an E-shaped cross-section, which is used for guiding the support wires. In the embodiment shown, the internal guide 63 is arranged so that it can be folded around the axis 64. If necessary, an active strand monitoring device is present in the area of the support thread guide 60 (for example according to Figure 4), which interrupts the flow of support wire in a controlled manner in the event of a breakage of one of the support wires 32. In the embodiment shown, if necessary, they can be processed by spinning position 2 relatively simply more than two support wires 32. To that end, if necessary, the support wire guide 60 must be adapted.

In FIGS. 12 and 13, a drive 70 of the support wire cylinder 33 of the support wire holding device 30 is shown. Each of the support cylinders 54 is actively connected to a pulley 71, which, by means of a belt 72 , can be actuated, here in a counter-rotating manner, from a motor 73. The support wire holding device 30 can be easily reconditioned for the accommodation of alternative reels (not shown in detail), where the guide separators are separated and the belts 72 are placed in such a way around pulleys 71, that they are actuated in a counter-rotating manner. The support threads or filaments can then be placed in the form of spools, in a simple manner, with their cover surface on the support thread cylinders 33, and can be actuated therefrom.

Figure 15 shows another embodiment of a spinning continuum 1 according to the invention. Two handholds 70 can be observed that are arranged laterally spaced from one another, on a rail holding the handle 69. Between the handholds 70 two fasteners 71 are arranged, here essentially in an L-shape, at whose front end it is placed in each case a support wire guide device 72, 73; so that it can be adjusted laterally (direction y). Typically, identical support wire guide devices are used on both sides. In the example shown, however, two different embodiments 72, 73 are shown. The fasteners 71 are placed on a base 74, so that at their rear end they can rotate upwards. Figure 16 shows the L-shaped fasteners 71, with the support wire guide devices 72, 73; as well as base 74, in an enlarged representation. The clamp 71 in the right half of the image is represented by way of example folded up, so that the elements below can be better observed. In turn, the base 74 is placed in a socket 75, whereby, according to the embodiment, it can be placed in the crossing device or in another area of a rotor spinning continuum (not shown in detail). In the rear area of the socket 75 a support 67 is arranged here in the form of a rotating roller 68, which, in the case of heavy supports or a unilateral load, helps absorb the torque.

An approximately T-shaped bridge 76 can also be seen that extends forward, which, in the embodiment shown, has a lateral bar 77 extending laterally at its front end, which are again used for the housing of two guiding elements of the wick 78. The arms 77, together with the guiding elements of the wick 78, are engaged between the cylinders of the handle 70 (see Figure 15), where they optimally align the wick with respect to the guiding devices of support wire. Both the wick guide elements 78 and / or the support wire guide devices 72, 73, are made so that if necessary they can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction and / or in the transverse direction with respect to their fasteners 71. The guide elements of the wick present here a guide channel 79 open upwards, in the form of V. Other embodiments are possible.

Figure 17 shows a support wire guide device 73 in an enlarged representation. The support wire guide device 73 has a base 80, here approximately in a C-shape, in which, in the upper area, an eyelet 81 is made in an outstanding manner. Below the eyelet 81 a guide rod 82 is arranged curved multiple times, which, during the spinning operation, engages between two support threads and separates them laterally against each other. The lateral distance can be adjusted through the thickness of the guide rod 82. In one embodiment, the guide rod 82 is made straight and is suitable to accommodate sleeves (not shown) with different external diameters. Advantageously, the sleeves are made of a wear resistant material. The support threads are led through the eyelet 81 and then guided to each side in front of the sleeve, so that the diameter of the sleeve determines the relative distance of the support threads, from one to the other. Preferably, the support wire guide device 73 is made of metal or plastic. Depending on the quantity and arrangement of the support wires, more than one guide rod 82 may be provided. The embodiment shown, conveniently in terms of costs, can be produced from metallic wire (guide rod and eyelet) and sheet metal. .

Figure 18 shows the support wire guide device 72 in an enlarged representation. The support wire guide device 72 has a base 83 by which it can be fixed in a clamp 71 (see Figure 15). A side grooved eyelet 84 is suitable for accommodating support threads (not shown). Under the eyelet 84 there is arranged an oval guide rod 86 which can rotate about an axis 85, which is suitable for the variable regulation of the lateral distance of two support threads extending through the eyelet 84. A locking mechanism 87 in which a pin 88 is engaged prevents an accidental adjustment of the distance between the support threads. The distance can be adjusted by pulling back the element with the oval guide rod from the clamp, until the pin 88 is no longer engaged with the locking mechanism 87. Through the rotation around the axis 85 the new distance is adjusted to between the support threads.

In one embodiment, the different components of a device according to the invention have a modular structure, with standard interfaces to each other, so that they can be grouped in a variable way and adapted to different rotor spinning devices.
