Related to spinning machinery.

  In a spinning machine equipped with this type of fiber bundle concentrator, a suction force is applied to the drafted fiber bundle to pre-bend it before twisting to improve yarn quality, such as reducing fluff. . And since the yarn quality depends on the magnitude of the suction pressure by the suction hole (suction slit) that applies a suction force to the fiber bundle drafted by the draft part, it is necessary to maintain an appropriate suction pressure.

  When a yarn is spun by a spinning machine equipped with the fiber bundle concentrating device, considerable fiber waste is sucked by the suction pressure acting on the suction slit of the fiber bundle concentrating device. And when the fiber waste accumulates and clogs, and the fiber waste clogging increases and the suction device malfunctions, if the operation is continued, the suction device will be damaged, so it is necessary to stop the suction device immediately. . Conventionally, since each motor provided in each of a plurality of suction devices is controlled by a single inverter, when the inverter performs an emergency stop, the motor of the normal suction device is also stopped immediately, so that the yarn breakage occurs. appear. For this reason, many yarn splicing operations are required when the operation is resumed, which increases the number of man-hours. If the motor of each suction device is driven by a separate inverter, the operation of the spinning machine base can be continued without stopping the motors other than the suction device in which an abnormality has occurred if an abnormality occurs. . However, the cost for providing the inverter increases.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a suction device that constitutes a fiber bundle focusing device for each block by dividing a machine base into a plurality of blocks, and to drive a motor provided in each suction device by a common inverter Is to provide a spinning machine capable of preventing occurrence of yarn breakage in a normal block when an abnormality occurs.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 includes a fiber bundle concentrating device that condenses the fiber bundle drafted by the draft part, and the fiber bundle concentrating device includes a feeding unit including a nip roller; The suction part provided with a suction hole at least upstream from the nip point of the delivery part, the ventilation member constituting the delivery part and rotated along the suction part, and the suction pressure acting on the suction part are changed. A spinning machine with possible suction means. The fiber bundle concentrating device is composed of a plurality of blocks, each of which is provided with a duct in which the suction part is connected to each block via a connecting pipe, and a motor that is provided in each duct to make the inside of the duct have a negative pressure. Suction means comprising a suction device is provided. Each motor is electrically connected to a common inverter via a contactor for each motor, and is controlled by a control means via the inverter. Each block is provided with an abnormality detection means for detecting an abnormality that leads to an overload of the motor, and contactor control means for switching the contactor of the corresponding block to a non-contact state based on the abnormality detection signal of the abnormality detection means. ing.

  In this invention, the fiber bundle drafted by the draft part is converged by the fiber bundle concentrating device provided on the downstream side of the final delivery roller pair of the draft part. The focusing action of the fiber bundle focusing device is caused by the suction action of the suction hole of the suction portion to which suction pressure is applied by the suction means. When the abnormality detection means provided for each block detects an abnormality, the contactor of the power supply line to the motor of the block whose abnormality is detected by the contactor control means is switched to a non-contact state based on the detection signal, and the motor Continued operation in an overload condition is avoided and damage to the suction device is avoided. Further, the inverter continues control in a normal state. Accordingly, in the configuration in which the machine base is divided into a plurality of blocks and a suction device that constitutes the fiber bundle focusing device is provided for each block, and the motor provided in each suction device is driven by a common inverter, In contrast, it is possible to prevent yarn breakage in a normal block when an abnormality occurs.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, one inverter is provided, and the inverter controls all the motors. In the present invention, the number of inverters can be reduced, and the configuration can be simplified and the cost can be reduced as compared with a configuration using a plurality of inverters.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, the abnormality detecting means includes a pressure sensor that detects a pressure corresponding to the suction pressure of the suction portion. Here, the “pressure corresponding to the suction pressure of the suction part” is not limited to the pressure detected by the pressure sensor (that is, detected by connecting the pressure sensor to the suction part), but other than the suction part. This means that the pressure of the portion where the pressure of the suction part can be confirmed (calculated) from the pressure is included.

  As a method for detecting an abnormality that leads to overload of the motor, there are a method for detecting the voltage or current supplied to the motor, a method for detecting the pressure of the suction unit or the duct, and the like. In this invention, since the abnormality detection means includes a pressure sensor that detects the pressure of the suction portion, the pressure of the suction portion that affects the yarn quality is detected. Therefore, the detection signal of the pressure sensor for detecting an abnormality can also be used to accurately check whether or not the suction pressure of the suction unit is an appropriate pressure corresponding to the spinning condition.

  According to the present invention, there is provided a suction device that divides the machine base into a plurality of blocks and constitutes a fiber bundle focusing device for each block, and a motor that is provided in each suction device is driven by a common inverter In this case, it is possible to prevent yarn breakage in the normal block when an abnormality occurs.

  On the other hand, the bottom side of the fiber bundle concentrating device 30 is configured as a unit of half of the weights arranged between the roller stands 15 of the draft device 11, that is, four weights in this embodiment. The base end side is supported by a support beam 37 extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine base (in the direction orthogonal to the paper surface of FIG. 2) at the intermediate position of the roller stand 15 disposed at predetermined intervals in the machine base longitudinal direction. A support arm (not shown) is disposed, and a rotary shaft 35 is rotatably supported between the roller stand 15 and the support arm.

  The rotation shaft 35 is provided with a gear (not shown) at the center in the longitudinal direction so as to be integrally rotatable with the rotation shaft 35. The front bottom roller 12 is formed with a gear portion 12a at a position facing the gear. Similarly to the support arm, a gear portion 12a and an intermediate gear 43 meshing with the gear are rotatably supported by a support arm 42 whose base end is fixed to the support beam 37. That is, the rotational force of the front bottom roller 12 is transmitted to the rotary shaft 35 via the gear portion 12a, the intermediate gear 43, and the gear.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a duct 44 for the fiber bundle concentrating device 30 is disposed in the spinning machine base so as to extend in the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of ducts 44 are provided along the longitudinal direction of the spinning machine base. In this embodiment, each duct 44 is formed to have a length corresponding to 8 spindles on one side and 16 spindles on both sides. Each duct 44 is connected via a pipe 46 with a suction device 45 for making the inside of the duct 44 have a negative pressure. That is, in this embodiment, the fiber bundle concentrating device 30 is composed of a plurality of blocks each having 16 spindles as one block (one unit), and a duct 44 and a suction device 45 are provided in each block.

  A fan motor that drives a fan 47 a with a motor 47 is used as the suction device 45. As shown in FIG. 2, the duct 44 is disposed at the center of the spinning machine base at the upper rear side of the draft device 11, and the suction device 45 is disposed below the duct 44. The duct 44 and the suction device 45 constitute suction means.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the suction portion S is provided for every four spindles in a state of extending in parallel with the duct 44, and is connected to the duct 44 through a connection pipe 48. The connecting pipe 48 includes a bellows portion 49 (shown only in FIG. 2) in the middle. In FIG. 1, the suction pipes 32 and 33 are collectively shown as a suction portion S, and suction holes to be described later formed in the suction pipes 32 and 33 are collectively indicated by a broken line ◯.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the suction pipe 32 is disposed upstream of the nip point of the bottom nip roller 35a in the moving direction of the fiber bundle (fleece) F, and the suction pipe 33 is disposed downstream. The suction pipe 32 has a sliding surface formed with a slit-like suction hole 32a extending upstream in the moving direction of the fiber bundle F across the nip point of the bottom nip roller 35a. The suction pipe 33 has a sliding surface in which a slit-like suction hole 33a extending downstream is formed.

  The suction pipe 32 is formed in a shape capable of guiding the ventilation apron 34 so as to reach the vicinity of the nip point between the front bottom roller 12 and the front top roller 19. The ventilation apron 34 is wound around the suction pipes 32 and 33 so that a part thereof is in contact with the bottom nip roller 35a, and is rotated while sliding along the sliding surface as the bottom nip roller 35a rotates. It is like that. In this embodiment, the ventilation apron 34 is formed of a woven fabric that can ensure appropriate air permeability.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, near the lower portion of the suction pipe 33, there is a tip of a suction nozzle 50 of a single type pneumatic device that serves to suck the fiber bundle F fed from the draft device 11 when the yarn breaks. Each is arranged. The proximal end of the suction nozzle 50 is connected to a pneumatic duct 51 common to all the weights.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the spinning machine base is provided with one inverter 53 connected to a commercial AC power source 52. Each motor 47 is electrically connected to a common inverter 53 via a contactor (electromagnetic contactor) 54. The contactor 54 is electrically connected to the contactor control means 55 and is controlled to be opened and closed by a command signal output from the contactor control means 55.

  Each block is provided with a pressure sensor 56 that detects a pressure (negative pressure) corresponding to the suction pressure of the suction portion S. The pressure sensor 56 is provided at a position for detecting the pressure of the pipe 46, for example. The pressure sensor 56 outputs a voltage corresponding to the detected pressure. The pressure sensor 56 constitutes detection means for detecting a physical quantity that leads to an overload of the motor 47.

  The contactor control means 55 is constituted by a microcomputer and is provided corresponding to each motor 47. The contactor control means 55 inputs an output signal of the pressure sensor 56 through an A / D conversion circuit, and the pressure signal is output from the output signal. Is calculated. The contactor control means 55 compares the calculated pressure with a reference value stored in advance in memory to determine whether there is an abnormality. If it is determined that there is an abnormality, the contactor 54 outputs an open command signal to the contactor 54. To the non-contact state. The contactor control means 55 constitutes a judgment means for judging the presence / absence of an abnormality by comparing a physical quantity that leads to an overload of the motor 47 with an abnormality judgment reference value set corresponding to the spinning condition. In this embodiment, the contactor control means 55 and the pressure sensor 56 constitute an abnormality detection means for detecting an abnormality that leads to an overload of the motor 47.

  When the contactor control means 55 determines the presence or absence of an abnormality based on the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 56, the pressure sensor 56 depends on whether the clogging of the fiber waste is on the suction part S side or on the suction device 45 side from the installation location of the pressure sensor 56. Since the detected pressures of these are greatly different, there are two (one set) of reference values for the appropriate suction pressure. Then, it is determined that there is an abnormality when the absolute value of the detected pressure is greater than or equal to a large reference value or less than a small reference value. The reference value is changed according to the spinning conditions. In this embodiment, the contactor control means 55 inputs a reference value corresponding to the spinning condition from the control device 57 that controls the operation of the spinning machine.

  The inverter 53 incorporates a converter circuit and an inverter circuit. After the alternating current of the alternating current power source 52 is converted into direct current by the converter circuit, the inverter circuit converts the alternating current to an alternating current having a desired frequency and voltage and outputs the alternating current. The inverter 53 is electrically connected to a control device 57 as control means, and controls the motor 47 based on a command signal from the control device 57.

  The control device 57 includes a CPU 58, a memory 59, an input device 60 and a display 61. The control device 57 can communicate with the inverter 53 and each contactor control means 55 via a serial interface. The memory 59 stores correspondence data between spinning conditions such as various fiber types and spinning yarn counts and appropriate suction pressure to be applied to the fiber bundle F, correspondence data between appropriate suction pressure and the rotation speed of the motor 47, and the like. It is remembered. Further, the memory 59 stores a map or an arithmetic expression for setting a reference value used by the contactor control means 55 for determining whether there is an abnormality corresponding to the appropriate suction pressure.

  The control device 57 (CPU 58) controls each motor 47 through the inverter 53 so as to obtain an appropriate suction pressure corresponding to the spinning condition input by the input device 60. The control device 57 inputs the pressure data of each block via each contactor control means 55 and performs feedback control of the motor 47. Further, when the spinning conditions are changed and the appropriate suction pressure is changed, the control device 57 outputs a reference value for abnormality determination corresponding to the changed suction pressure to each contactor control means 55.

  The control device 57 displays the pressure data of each block input from each contactor control means 55 on the display 61. The pressure data is not displayed as a pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 56 but as a value obtained by converting the detected pressure into a pressure in the suction part S. The display includes the current pressure value of each block, the average pressure value of each block for a predetermined period (for example, 10 minutes), the average pressure value of all blocks at the current time, the average pressure value of all blocks for a predetermined period, etc. .

  When the control device 57 inputs pressure information of each block from each contactor control means 55 and inputs an abnormality detection signal from any one of the contactor control means 55, the control device 57 stops the machine in the middle and outputs abnormality information to the display 61. indicate. The abnormality information includes the position or number of the block determined to be abnormal, information indicating whether the pressure abnormality is on the suction part S side or the motor 47 side from the location where the pressure sensor 56 is installed.

Next, the operation of the apparatus configured as described above will be described.
Prior to the operation of the spinning machine, spinning conditions such as fiber type and spinning yarn count are input to the control device 57 by the input device 60. When a spinning condition is input, the control device 57 sets an appropriate suction pressure corresponding to the spinning condition, sets a reference value for abnormality determination corresponding to the suction pressure, and sets the reference value to the contactor control means 55. Output to.

  The control device 57 controls the draft device 11, the spindle drive system, the ring rail lifting system, and the motor 47 according to the spinning conditions, and operates the spinning machine. When the spinning machine is operated, the fiber bundle F is drafted by passing between the bottom rollers 12 to 14 and the top rollers 19 to 21 of the draft device 11 and then guided to the fiber bundle concentrating device 30. . The delivery unit 31 is rotated slightly faster than the surface speeds of the front bottom roller 12 and the front top roller 19, and the fiber bundle F passes through the nip point of the delivery unit 31 in an appropriate tension state, and then turns and undergoes twisting. Move downstream. And it is wound up as a spun yarn by the bobbin with which the spindle was mounted | worn.

  The control device 57 controls each motor 47 via the inverter 53 at a rotation speed at which the negative pressure in the duct 44 becomes a state corresponding to an appropriate suction pressure. The suction action of the duct 44 extends to the suction pipes 32 and 33 via the connection pipe 48, and the suction action of the suction holes 32 a and 33 a formed on the sliding surface reaches the fiber bundle F via the ventilation apron 34. Then, the fiber bundle F moves in a state where the fiber bundle F is sucked and focused at a position corresponding to the suction holes 32a and 33a. Therefore, as compared with a spinning machine not equipped with the fiber bundle concentrating device 30, the generation of fluff and cotton falling is suppressed and the quality of the spun yarn is improved.

  The contactor control means 55 stores the reference value output from the control device 57 in a memory, and determines whether there is an abnormality based on the reference value. The contactor control means 55 inputs a detection signal of the pressure sensor 56 during operation of the spinning machine, and calculates a pressure corresponding to the suction pressure of the suction unit S from the detection signal. The contactor control means 55 outputs the pressure data to the control device 57 and compares it with a reference value to determine whether there is an abnormality. When it is determined that there is an abnormality, the contactor control means 55 immediately outputs an opening command signal to the contactor 54 based on the detection signal. As a result, the contactor 54 is switched to the non-contact state, the current supply to the motor 47 connected to the contactor 54 is stopped, the motor 47 is immediately stopped, and the motor 47 continues to operate in an overload state. Is avoided, and damage to the suction device 45 is avoided. When the motor 47 is stopped, the suction action of the suction portion S connected to the duct 44 corresponding to the motor 47 is lost, and yarn breakage is likely to occur. However, since the inverter 53 continues control in a normal state, the motors 47 of blocks other than the block in which an abnormality has occurred do not perform an emergency stop, so that occurrence of yarn breakage is prevented.

  The controller 57 feedback-controls the motor 47 based on the pressure data output from each contactor control means 55 during the operation of the spinning machine. For example, an average value of the pressure data of each block is calculated, and a command signal to the inverter 53 is output so that the average value falls within a predetermined range.

  When the abnormality detection signal is output from the contactor control means 55, the controller 57 stops the spinning machine base halfway. Specifically, the spindle drive system, the ring rail lifting system, and the draft device 11 are stopped in a synchronized state so that winding of the spun yarn is stopped in a state where yarn breakage hardly occurs during restart. When the spinning machine table is stopped, the roving is not supplied to each spindle of the block where the abnormality has occurred. Specifically, the roving of the roving bobbin is cut upstream of the trumpet of the draft device 11. Next, the spinning machine base is restarted, and winding is performed until a predetermined doffing (full pipe). Then, after the doffing, the fiber waste clogging removing operation of the abnormal block is performed, and then the spinning machine table is restarted. The motor 47 may be stopped during doffing operation or may continue to be driven. However, when the motor 47 is stopped, the suction pressure of the suction unit S reaches the set pressure when the spinning machine base is restarted. After that, winding is started.

  If the motors 47 of all the blocks are urgently stopped when an abnormality occurs, thread breakage is likely to occur in the weights other than the abnormal blocks. However, when the abnormality occurs, only the motor 47 of the block in which the abnormality has occurred is urgently stopped. Thread breakage is prevented from occurring in weights other than blocks.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The fiber bundle concentrating device 30 is composed of a plurality of blocks, and is provided in each block 44 in order to make the inside of the duct 44 have a negative pressure, and a duct 44 in which the suction portion S is connected to each block via a connection pipe 48. At the same time, suction means comprising a suction device 45 provided with a motor 47 is provided. Each motor 47 is electrically connected to a common inverter 53 via a contactor 54 for each motor 47, and is controlled by a control device 57 via the inverter 53. Therefore, even in the case of multiple spindles (for example, 800 spindles to 1000 spindles), the suction pressure of each suction portion S can be easily adjusted to an appropriate suction pressure.

  (2) Each block includes a detection unit (a pressure sensor 56 in this embodiment) that detects a physical quantity that leads to an overload of the motor 47, and a determination unit (contactor control) that determines whether there is an abnormality based on a detection signal from the detection unit. An abnormality detection means is provided which is configured as the same as the means 55. And the contactor control means 55 which switches the contactor 54 of a corresponding block to a non-contact state based on the abnormality detection signal of an abnormality detection means is provided. Therefore, the machine base is divided into a plurality of blocks, and a suction device 45 constituting the fiber bundle focusing device 30 is provided for each block, and a motor 47 provided in each suction device 45 is driven by a common inverter 53. However, unlike the conventional apparatus, even if the abnormal block 47 is stopped when an abnormality occurs, the yarn breakage in the normal block can be prevented.

  (3) One inverter 53 controls all the motors 47. Therefore, the number of inverters can be reduced, and the configuration can be simplified and the cost can be reduced as compared with a configuration in which a plurality of inverters 53 are used.

  (4) A pressure sensor 56 that detects a pressure corresponding to the suction pressure of the suction unit S is used as a detection unit that detects a physical quantity that leads to an overload of the motor 47. Therefore, the pressure of the suction unit S that affects the yarn quality is detected, and the detection signal of the abnormality detection means is used to accurately check whether the suction pressure of the suction unit S is an appropriate pressure corresponding to the spinning conditions. Can be used.

  (5) When receiving the abnormality detection signal from the contactor control means 55, the control device 57 stops the spinning machine base halfway. Then, after the motor 47 is set to a state in which the supply of the roving yarn to each spindle of the block in which the motor 47 is abnormally stopped is stopped, the spinning machine base is restarted to wind up to a full pipe. Therefore, it is possible to prevent wasteful use of the roving yarn at each spindle of the abnormality occurrence block, as compared with the case where the spinning machine is continuously operated until the full pipe without stopping the spinning machine base halfway. it can.

  (6) The control device 57 sets an appropriate suction pressure corresponding to the spinning condition input by the input device 60. When the spinning condition is changed and the appropriate suction pressure is changed, each contactor control means 55 outputs a reference value for abnormality determination corresponding to the changed suction pressure. And the contactor control means 55 judges the presence or absence of abnormality of each block using the reference value. That is, even if the appropriate suction pressure is changed in accordance with the change in the spinning condition, the reference value for the abnormality determination is automatically changed. Therefore, more strict pressure abnormality determination can be performed so that the yarn quality is not adversely affected.

  (7) The control device 57 includes the display 61 and displays the suction pressure data of the suction unit S on the display 61. As a display form, the suction pressure value of the suction part S of each block at the present time, the average pressure value of each suction part S for a predetermined period (for example, 10 minutes), the average pressure value of all the blocks at the present time, all the blocks There are average pressure values for a predetermined period. Therefore, the suction pressure value of each block or suction part S can be easily confirmed.

  (8) The control device 57 includes a display 61. When an abnormality detection signal is input from the contactor control means 55, an abnormal block is displayed on the display 61. Therefore, the worker or the administrator can easily confirm the abnormality occurrence block.

  (9) Since the pressure sensor 56 is provided between the suction unit S and the suction device 45, if the clogging occurs on the suction unit S side from the installation location of the pressure sensor 56, the absolute value of the detected pressure of the pressure sensor 56 is normal. When clogging occurs on the suction device 45 side, the absolute value of the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 56 becomes smaller than normal. Since the control device 57 inputs the pressure data detected by the pressure sensor 56 via the contactor control means 55, the fiber waste is clogged by the pressure data when the abnormality detection signal is input from the contactor control means 55. It is possible to determine whether or not the air is generated in the suction unit S or the suction device 45. The determined fiber clogging occurrence location is displayed on the display 61.

The embodiment is not limited to the above, and may be configured as follows, for example.
Even if the control device 57 inputs an abnormality occurrence signal from the contactor control means 55, the spinning machine may be continuously operated until doffing without stopping the spinning machine base halfway. Then, after the doffing, the fiber scrap clogging work of the abnormal block is performed, and then the spinning machine base is restarted. In this case, the roving yarn is used wastefully in the abnormality occurrence block, but the operation efficiency of the spinning machine base is increased because the stoppage is not performed halfway.

  ○ Instead of providing the contactor control means 55 in each block, the detection signal of each pressure sensor 56 is input to the control device 57 via the A / D converter, and the control device 57 determines whether there is an abnormality in each block. You may do it. In this case, it is not necessary to provide the contactor control means 55 in each block, it is not necessary to exchange signals between the contactor control means 55 and the control device 57, and the configuration and control are simplified.

  ○ After converting the detection signal of the pressure sensor 56 to the suction pressure of the suction part S, and comparing with the reference value to determine whether there is an abnormality or not, the corresponding reference value without converting to the suction pressure of the suction part S A comparison may be made to determine whether there is an abnormality.

  ○ The abnormality detection means for detecting an abnormality that leads to an overload of the motor 47 compares the detection means for detecting a physical quantity that leads to an overload of the motor 47 with a reference value for abnormality judgment set in accordance with the spinning condition. Thus, the physical quantity is not limited to the pressure. For example, a flow rate sensor that detects a flow rate of air flowing through a pipe 46 or a connecting pipe 48, a sensor that detects a current amount supplied to the motor 47, or a sensor that detects a voltage detects a physical quantity that leads to overload of the motor 47. It is good also as a detection means. Also in this case, a reference value corresponding to the spinning condition is obtained in advance by a test and stored in the memory 59.

  In the case where the pressure sensor 56 or the flow rate sensor is provided as the detecting means, instead of providing one pressure sensor 56 or the flow rate sensor in each block, it may be provided in each connection pipe 48. In this case, when clogging occurs in the suction part S, the detection signal of the pressure sensor 56 or the flow rate sensor corresponding to the suction part S becomes a value different from the detection signals of the sensors in other places. Accordingly, it is possible to determine not only which block is where the abnormality has occurred, but which part of the block (which suction part S).

  A determination unit that determines whether there is an abnormality and a contactor control unit 55 that switches the contactor 54 to a non-contact state may be provided separately. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which one determination unit determines whether or not there is an abnormality in a plurality of blocks, and the contactor control unit 55 provided in each block operates according to a command signal from the determination unit.

○ When the spinning machine base is a long machine base (for example, 1000 spindles or more on both sides), a total of two inverters 53 may be provided at both ends of the machine base instead of one.
○ The control device 57 of each spinning machine may be communicably connected to a main control device that manages the operating state of all spinning machines, and data relating to spinning conditions may be input from the main control device to each control device 57. .

  ○ In order to spun yarn with good yarn quality in a general sense, that is, yarn with less fluff and unevenness, the suction pressure of the suction part S is not adjusted to an appropriate value, but the yarn quality is intended In order to control automatically, the suction pressure of the suction part S may be adjusted. Further, instead of aiming to make the yarn uniform over the entire length, the suction pressure of the suction portion S is appropriately changed from the start of winding to the full pipe so as to positively form yarn spots like a design yarn. Alternatively, the suction device 45 may be driven.

The length of the duct 44 is not limited to the length corresponding to 8 weights on one side and 16 weights on both sides, and may be a length corresponding to an appropriate number of weights. In that case, the length corresponding to the number of spindles that is a multiple of 4 is preferable.
○ Instead of sharing the duct 44 between the suction pipes 32 and 33 arranged on the left and right sides of the spinning machine, separate the duct 44 for the right side and the left side and arrange it in two rows along the longitudinal direction of the spinning machine base. Also good.

The position of the duct 44 is not limited to the upper rear side of the draft device 11, but may be disposed on the rear side of the draft device 11 or the lower rear side of the draft device 11.
○ The rotary shaft 35 and the suction pipes 32 and 33 are not limited to a configuration in which four spindles are used as one unit. It is good. In addition, the number of weights between the roller stands 15 may be divided into different numbers (for example, 6 weights and 2 weights) without necessarily having the same number of weights for all units, and two types of units may be provided correspondingly.

  The suction pipes 32 and 33 may not be formed separately, but the suction pipes 32 and 33 may be integrated and formed in an arc shape with the side facing the top nip roller 31a open.

O Instead of forming the ventilated apron 34 with a woven fabric or knitted fabric, a large number of holes may be formed in a rubber or elastic resin belt.
The suction pipes 32 and 33 constituting the suction part may be formed integrally with the connection pipe 48.

  O It is good also as a structure which has not only the structure which provides the suction holes 32a and 33a on the upstream and downstream sides across the nip point of the fiber bundle F, but the suction hole 32a only on the upstream side across the nip point. In that case, if the suction pipe 33 which does not form the suction hole 33a is used, the manufacturing method and assembly can be made substantially the same. Further, the suction apex 33 may be eliminated, and the ventilation apron 34 may be wound around the suction pipe 32 and the bottom nip roller 35a.

  ○ As a configuration for driving the ventilation apron 34, the suction pipes 32 and 33 and the bottom nip roller 35a are eliminated, and a suction pipe having an oval cross section is provided, a suction hole is formed at a predetermined position of the suction pipe, and the suction pipe is formed on the outer periphery. A ventilated apron 34 is slidably wound along. The top nip roller 31a may be driven positively and the ventilation apron 34 may be driven by driving the top nip roller 31a while being pressed against the ventilation apron 34.

  The configuration of the suction device is not limited to the configuration in which the fan 47a is driven by the motor 47. For example, a vacuum pump (vacuum pump) may be used. The vacuum pump may be a rotary pump or a reciprocating pump.

○ As a pneumatic device, a flute type configuration may be adopted instead of the single nozzle type.
O The ventilation apron 34 may be provided on the top side.
