  In the present embodiment, the setting for controlling the operation of the winding unit 1 is the setting of “yarn type, yarn count, yarn speed”. These settings are stored in the RAM or ROM of the central management unit 31, and the winding unit control unit 1A of the winding unit 1 appropriately stores these settings stored in the RAM or ROM of the central management unit 31. To control each device (for example, the traverse drum 3) of the winding unit 1. These settings relating to the yarn type, yarn count, and yarn speed are related to each other, and for convenience, these settings are combined and managed as one “lot”. In other words, “lot” is used as a unique name for the setting content of the operation control of the winding unit 1 by the winding unit control unit 1A.

  Further, the setting of the control of the operation of the doffing device 10 is a setting of “separate bunch winding amount (times) and P / Q wind”. These settings are also stored in the RAM or ROM of the central management unit 31, and the doffing device control unit 10A of the doffing device 10 appropriately stores these settings stored in the RAM or ROM of the central management unit 31. To control each device of the doffing device 10. In addition, the “bunch winding amount (turns)” means the number of times of bunch winding with respect to the empty paper tube Bf that is performed in order to smoothly exchange the full tube package P (full winding package P), “Different P / Q wind” refers to whether or not the winding diameter on the lift-up mechanism 2a side of the winding package P formed around the paper tube Bf in FIG. 2 is larger than the winding diameter on the other side. This means that the bunch winding described above is usually applied directly to the end portion of the paper tube Bf exposed on the side of the winding package P where the winding diameter is large.

  The association stored in the association storage unit 32 is, for example, as shown in Table 1 below (representing lot 1 to lot 5 as an example). That is, the inventor of the present application pays attention to the fact that the bunch winding amount (turns) and the P / Q wind are uniquely determined for each lot, and the control setting of the operation of the doffing device 10 is set to the lot. The relation storage unit 32 stores the information in a state of being closely associated (associated) with each other. If it adds, it can be said that the setting of the control of the operation | movement of the doffing apparatus 10 was included in the lot from another viewpoint.

  Next, the setting display unit 34 will be described (the setting update unit 33 will be described later). Table 2 below shows one display example of the setting display unit. In Table 2 below, “weight” has the same meaning as the winding unit.

  As shown in Table 2 above, in the present embodiment, from the viewpoint of convenience, the winding units 1, 1... Are managed in groups. That is, for example, the group indicated by “GR1” is the first to twelfth windings counted from the machine control unit 30 among a plurality of winding units 1... This means the units 1 · 1 ···. In the winding units 1 · 1 ··· belonging to this group, the central management unit 31 and the winding unit control unit so that the winding package P having the specification of LOT1 is generated. 1A and the doffing device control unit 10A are set to operate in cooperation.

  Further, as shown in Table 2 above, the setting of the operation control of the winding units 1... 1 by the winding unit control unit 1A (including the lot name (including yarn type, yarn count, and yarn speed)). The setting of the control of the operation of the doffing device 10 · 10 by the doffing device control unit 10A (bunch winding amount (time) or P / Q wind) is displayed on one screen at the same time. ing.

  Next, the setting update unit 33 and the operation unit 35 will be described. That is, the operation unit 35 needs to change the specification of the winding package P generated by the winding units 1 · 1 ··· belonging to any one of the groups GR1 to GR3 in consideration of supply and demand. In this case, the lot name set as shown in Table 2 for the group is changed to another lot name. Specifically, when the operator of the automatic winder 100 operates the operation unit 35, the lot names in Table 2 can be freely changed to other lot names without any particular restrictions.

  Then, the setting update unit 33 is stored in the related storage unit 32 when the setting (lot name) of the operation control of the winding units 1 ····· by the winding unit control unit 1A is changed. The setting of the control of the operation of the doffing device 10 by the doffing device control unit 10A (bunch winding amount (times) and P / Q wind) is updated by referring to the association (table, table 1). Is configured to do.

  A specific description will be given below with reference to Table 2. That is, the operator of the automatic winder 100 sets a new LOT2 instead of the current LOT3 for GR3 in Table 2 in order to increase the production of the winding package P whose specification is LOT2 via the operation unit 35 described above. (Lot change). According to this, the yarn type, the yarn count, and the yarn speed are immediately changed as appropriate for the winding units 1, 1... Belonging to GR3, and at the same time, the setting update unit 33 is connected to the related storage unit 32. With reference to Table 1 as the association stored by the above, the bunch winding amount (times) and the P / Q wind associated with LOT2 in Table 1 are reset (updated) with respect to GR2. To change). From another point of view (in short), just changing the lot name shown in Table 2 to another lot name, not only the yarn type, yarn count and yarn speed, but also the bunch winding amount (times) And even the part of P / Q wind is updated at once. In Table 2, not only when changing the lot name set for one group to another lot name, but also when changing the "weight No. range" of one group, of course, the above configuration Thus, the bunch winding amount (times) and the P / Q wind can be properly updated.

  Next, the operation of the automatic winder 100 according to this embodiment will be briefly described. That is, as described above, when there is a need to change the specification of the winding package P generated by one group, the operator of the automatic winder 100 sends the setting display unit 34 via the operation unit 35. The lot name set for the group is changed to another lot name. At this time, the operator does not need to set the bunch winding amount (times) and the P / Q wind separately. This is because, in response to the new lot name input by the operator, the setting update unit 33 determines the bunch winding amount (number of times) and P / Q wind before the lot change for the new lot name. This is because the bunch winding amount (number of turns) and P / Q wind (see Table 1) that are uniquely determined are changed.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the automatic winder 100 is configured as follows.

  That is, a plurality of winding units 1, 1... That form a winding package P by winding a spun yarn Y unwound from a yarn feeding bobbin Bk around a paper tube Bf, and the plurality of windings.

Therefore, the burden on the operator of the automatic winder 100 is reduced, and the winding package P that always conforms to the specifications can be generated.

  In addition, the automatic winder 100 according to the present embodiment includes a setting for controlling the operation of the winding unit by the winding unit control means, and a setting for controlling the operation of the doffing apparatus by the doffing device control means. Are displayed on one screen (simultaneously). Thereby, the following extremely excellent effects are exhibited.

(Conventional automatic winder)
That is, generally, on the display device provided in the automatic winder, the setting relating to the winding unit and the setting relating to the doffing device are displayed on one screen (simultaneously) due to the above-mentioned structural and structural reasons. It never happened. As a result, the operator of the automatic winder was only concerned about changing the setting related to the winding unit, and easily forgot the existence of the setting related to the doffing device.

(Automatic winder according to this embodiment)
On the other hand, the automatic winder 100 according to the present embodiment includes the setting display unit 34 described above, so that the doffing apparatus 10 can be used without omission when changing the settings related to the winding units 1. -Since the setting related to 10 enters the field of view, the presence of the setting related to the doffing device 10 or 10 can always be conscious. Further, the operator of the automatic winder 100 sets the control of the operation of the winding units 1... By the winding unit controller 1 A, and the doffing device 10. It is possible to easily grasp whether or not there is consistency between the 10 operation control settings. This is because they are displayed on the same screen.
