Description

  The present invention relates to a rotary creel of a partial warp for warp warps comprising a support body rotatably supported around a rotation shaft, and a plurality of bobbin accommodating portions formed on the support body.

  The present invention further relates to a pattern warp partial warper comprising a warping drum, a yarn guide rotatable around a rotation axis of the warping drum, and a rotary creel.

  When manufacturing patterned warp or short warp, a partial warp for pattern warp is often used. In the pattern warp partial warper, the warping drum is relatively large, for example, the circumference is about 7 m. The warping drum is held so as not to rotate relative to the machine base when winding the yarn. A plurality of conveyor belts are provided on the circumferential surface of the warping drum at intervals in the circumferential direction, and each conveyor belt extends in parallel with the axis of the warping drum. Further, the pattern warp partial warping machine includes a plurality of yarn guides, and the plurality of yarn guides rotate around the rotation axis of the warping drum. Each yarn guide feeds the yarn onto the conveying belt, and this yarn is pulled out from the creel. When supplying a plurality of yarns simultaneously to the circumferential surface of the warping drum, a rotary creel that rotates in synchronization with the yarn guide is used. If you do not want to feed individual yarns to the peripheral surface of the warping drum, these yarns need to be excluded from the warping process and can be wound around, for example, a core arranged on the rotating shaft of the warping drum .

The length of the thread drawn from the bobbin of the rotary creel varies depending on the pattern warp to be manufactured or the short warp pattern. Therefore, the time when the yarn runs out is different, and before the warp yarn is finished, the bobbin may be emptied because there is no yarn wound around any bobbin. Therefore, it is necessary to have a supervisor who continuously monitors whether or not the yarn wound around the bobbin is still sufficient. When any bobbin becomes empty, the monitor must stop the pattern warp partial warper and replace the bobbin. By connecting the end of the bobbin thread that is likely to be emptied with the beginning of the new bobbin thread, so-called continuous operation can be performed.

  However, the operation of the above-described warp partial warp for a warp warp depends greatly on the ability of the supervisor to determine whether the warping process can be interrupted at an appropriate time. If the pattern warp partial warping machine stops too quickly, a lot of useless yarns are generated. On the other hand, if the pattern warp partial warping machine stops too slowly, it will hinder driving.

  The objective of this invention is providing the rotary creel which can suppress the risk which becomes the trouble of the driving | operation of the partial warp for pattern warps, and the partial warp for pattern warps provided with the same.

  The object is to provide a rotary creel of a partial warp for a warp for a warp having a support body rotatably supported around a rotation shaft, and having a plurality of bobbin housing parts formed on the support body. This is solved by providing a sensor device capable of detecting the degree of filling of the bobbin disposed in the accommodating portion.

  According to the present invention, information about how much yarn remains in the bobbin disposed in the bobbin accommodating portion can be obtained from the sensor device. Thus, the warping process can be interrupted before any bobbin becomes empty. It is possible to avoid the situation where the end of the warp yarn disappears into the warp wound on the warp drum, that is, the occurrence of “disordered yarn breakage”. At the same time, it is not necessary to set the rotational speed of the rotary creel so low that the user can visually monitor the presence or absence of the bobbin thread, and the rotational creel can be rotated at a relatively high speed in the warping process. it can. Thereby, it can warp early in the partial warper for pattern warps.

  In this invention, it is preferable that the said sensor apparatus has one sensor for every said bobbin accommodating part.

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to simultaneously detect the remaining amount of the yarn wound around the bobbins disposed in all the bobbin accommodating portions. That is, the sensor provided in each bobbin accommodating part can detect simultaneously the filling degree of the bobbin of the corresponding bobbin accommodating part.

  In the present invention, the sensor device may have one sensor common to each bobbin group including a plurality of bobbins.

  According to the above configuration, this sensor sequentially detects the filling degree of each bobbin. Therefore, information on the degree of filling cannot be obtained at the same time. However, information about the degree of filling can be obtained each time the rotary creel makes one revolution, which is generally sufficient. This is because the yarn length drawn when the rotary creel rotates once is only the same length as the circumference of the warp drum.

  Further, in both cases where one common sensor is provided for a plurality of bobbins and one sensor is provided for each bobbin, the production is interrupted when the yarn wound around the bobbin runs out and becomes empty. The bobbin can be replaced. In some cases, it may be preferable to cause the sensor device to generate a warning signal a certain time before the corresponding bobbin is empty, and to allow the monitor to take out the replenishment bobbin and wait until the replacement timely.

  In this invention, it is preferable that the said sensor is arrange | positioned at the base and the said support body is rotatably supported by the said base. Since the machine base is used as a base for rotation of the support, it is fixed to the floor or the like. Therefore, the sensor can be disposed on the machine base at a low cost, and can be disposed such that the bobbin housing portion passes by the sensor every time the support rotates once. In that case, the sensor can detect the filling degree of each bobbin sequentially, for example, every time it rotates once.

  In the present invention, the bobbin housing portions of at least the two bobbin groups are arranged forward and backward along the rotation axis of the support, and the bobbin housing portion of one bobbin group is the other bobbin A predetermined first angle is shifted around the rotation axis with respect to the bobbin housing portion of the group, and the sensor is arranged forward and backward on a line extending in parallel with the rotation axis, or smaller than the first angle. It is preferable that the second angles are shifted from each other.

  According to the said structure, it is advantageous when transmitting the bobbin filling degree detected by the sensor to the apparatus which processes continuously. The sensor detects the degree of filling of bobbins of different bobbin groups not at the same time but at a slight time interval. This facilitates continuous processing.

  In this invention, it is preferable that the said sensor apparatus is comprised so that the diameter of the said bobbin may be detected. The bobbin diameter can be detected at one place in the axial direction of the bobbin. The information detected in this way is only information on one bobbin diameter in the axial direction. However, in general, this information is sufficient to detect the filling degree of each bobbin. The information is particularly useful when the bobbin is wound in the form of a cross winding.

  In the present invention, the sensor device preferably includes a laser sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, or a non-contact type sensor combining these.

  According to the above configuration, the load acting on the yarn wound around the bobbin can be reduced by measuring it in a non-contact manner. In particular, when one sensor common to a plurality of bobbins is provided, the mechanical shock of the bobbins that occurs each time the bobbins pass by the sensors is prevented.

  In the present invention, the sensor device may include at least one mechanical sensor. The mechanical sensor can be formed as a contact roller, for example. According to the above configuration, the mechanical sensor is useful when the sensor is fixedly disposed relative to the bobbin.

  In the present invention, the sensor device is connected to a machine control device of the pattern warp partial warping machine, and the machine control device reduces the filling level target value by at least one bobbin. It is preferable that the warp partial warper is stopped.

  According to the above configuration, the sensor device has sufficient reliability as to whether one bobbin is likely to be empty, that is, whether sufficient yarn remains in the bobbin to continue the warping process smoothly. Can be judged. When it becomes clear that the degree of filling is low, the machine control device automatically stops the partial warp for pattern warp. As a result, the supervisor receives an instruction that any bobbin must be replaced. In this way, the bobbin can be replaced at an appropriate time, so that too much yarn does not remain on the bobbin, and the bobbin is emptied and `` disordered yarn breakage '' occurs There is no.

  In the present invention, the machine control device is connected to a handle control device that outputs the filling level target value in accordance with a handle to be manufactured. According to the above configuration, the filling level target value can be changed. In this way, a full-length pattern warp can be warped by the yarn wound around the bobbin, and a knot can be prevented from being formed in the pattern yarn. The pattern control device “knows” how much yarn is needed to produce a particular pattern. Therefore, a pattern warp without knots on the way or a pattern warp with few knots can be easily produced.

  The above-mentioned problem is solved by a partial warp for pattern warp comprising a warping drum, a yarn guide that can rotate around the rotation axis of the warping drum, and any one of the rotary creels.

  According to the present invention, since the rotary creel is automatically monitored, the risk of trouble occurring in the warping process can be suppressed, and the yarn wound around the bobbin is used as much as possible. be able to.

  In the present invention, it is preferable to have an automatic mounting device connected to the sensor device. According to the above configuration, the automatic mounting device can perform bobbin replacement and combine the new bobbin yarn start end with the empty bobbin yarn end. However, coupling as described above is useful only while the bobbin thread ends that are emptied are wound around the bobbin. That is, this corresponds to the case where the remaining yarn is still wound around the bobbin that becomes empty. In this case, in order to combine the new bobbin yarn start end and the empty bobbin yarn, the automatic mounting apparatus cuts the yarn remaining on the bobbin to generate the yarn end.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the risk which becomes the trouble of the driving | operation of the pattern warp partial warper can be suppressed.

  In the following, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The patterned warp partial warping machine 1 includes a warping drum 2. A plurality of conveyor belts 3 are provided on the circumferential surface of the warping drum 2 at intervals in the circumferential direction, and each of the conveyor belts 3 extends in parallel with the rotation shaft 4 of the warping drum 2. The warping drum 2 is rotatably supported, but is blocked so as not to rotate relative to the yarn when it is wound.

  The warping drum 2 is provided with a rotary creel 5 so as to abut one end thereof, and the yarn 6 can be drawn from the rotary creel 5. The drawn yarn 6 is fed onto the conveying belt 3 by a yarn guide 7. The yarn guide 7 can swing in the axial direction of the warping drum 2 on the transport belt 3. As a result, the yarn 6 is fed onto the conveyor belt 3. For example, the yarn guide 7 can swing to feed the yarn 6 onto the core 8 extending in the axial direction in the rotation shaft 4 of the warping drum 2. When the yarn 6 is guided around the peripheral surface of the warping drum 2 and fed onto the conveying belt 3, the yarn 6 rotates together with the yarn guide 7.

  In order to realize such rotation, the rotary creel 5 comprises at least one support 9,15. A plurality of bobbin accommodating portions 10 are arranged on the supports 9 and 15 side by side in the circumferential direction. Bobbins 11 and 14 can be accommodated in each bobbin accommodating portion 10. The thread 6 is pulled out from the accommodated bobbins 11 and 14, and the thread 6 is handed over to the corresponding thread guide 7.

  The rotary creel 5 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 accommodates a total of 24 bobbins 11 and 14 in the supports 9 and 15. The plurality of bobbins 11 and 14 accommodated in these supports 9 and 15 respectively form two bobbin groups 12 and 13, and each bobbin group 12 and 13 is attached to the rotating shaft 4 of the warping drum 2. It arrange | positions so that it may mutually shift | deviate in a parallel direction (front-back of an axial direction). Further, the bobbins 11 and 14 of the two bobbin groups 12 and 13 are arranged so as to be shifted from each other by a first angle θ1, for example, 15 °, about the axis of the rotation shaft 4. The bobbins 14 of the second bobbin group 13 are similarly fixed to the support 15. Both supports 9, 15 can be rotated by a rotary drive device 16, which rotates the yarn guide 7 together with the supports 9, 15.

  Further, the support 9 is provided with a sensor 17 for each bobbin accommodating portion 10, and the degree of filling (that is, the remaining amount) of the bobbin 11 accommodated in the bobbin accommodating portion 10 is detected by the sensor 17. Similarly, the support 15 is also provided with a sensor 18 for each bobbin 14, and the degree of filling (that is, remaining amount) of each bobbin 14 is detected by this sensor 18 by an appropriate method. The degree of filling can be easily detected by the sensors 17 and 18 detecting the diameters (or radii) of the bobbins 11 and 14. This detection method is sufficient to detect the degree of filling, particularly in the case of cross-wound bobbins. As another method, for example, there is a method of detecting the masses of the bobbins 11 and 14.

  As the sensors 17 and 18, for example, mechanical sensors such as rollers that roll on the peripheral surfaces of the bobbins 11 and 14 can be provided, and these rollers are connected to a detector via an arm. Such a mechanical sensor is useful when the sensors 17 and 18 are fixedly disposed relative to the bobbins 11 and 14.

  However, the sensors 17 and 18 may not be contact type like a roller but may be non-contact type. In that case, the sensor can be composed of, for example, a laser sensor, an ultrasonic sensor or an infrared sensor, and a combination thereof. By configuring with a non-contact type sensor, the load acting on the yarn 6 wound around the bobbins 11 and 14 can be kept small. When each of the bobbin accommodating portions 10 has its own sensors 17 and 18, information on the filling degree of each bobbin 11 and 14 can be obtained at the same time.

  However, in many cases, the sensors 17 and 18 that are unique to the bobbin housing 10 are not necessarily provided. In such a case, the sensors 19 and 20 are used instead of the sensors 17 and 18 attached to each bobbin housing 10. As shown in FIG. 4, the sensors 19 and 20 are disposed on the machine base 21. More specifically, the bobbins 11 and 14 are disposed so as to pass by the sensors 19 and 20 when the supports 9 and 15 are rotated. By configuring in this way, the sensors 19 and 20 can detect the filling degree of each bobbin every time the rotary creel 5 makes one rotation.

  The sensors 19 and 20 are constituted by mechanical sensors. Each time the sensors 19 and 20 pass, the roller contacts the bobbins 11 and 14 to detect the diameters of the bobbins 11 and 14. However, like the sensors 17 and 18, the sensors 19 and 20 are preferably formed as sensors that operate in a non-contact manner. This is because, in the case of a non-contact type sensor, it is possible to prevent the mechanical shock that has occurred in the bobbins 11 and 14 each time the bobbins 11 and 14 pass by the sensors 19 and 20 in the mechanical sensor. it can.

  When the bobbins 11 and 14 of the two bobbin groups 12 and 13 are shifted from each other in the circumferential direction by the first angle θ1, the bobbins 11 and 14 are spaced apart from each other on a line extending in parallel with the rotating shaft 4 of the warping drum. It is desirable to arrange the sensors 19 and 20. With this configuration, the two sensors 19 and 20 do not detect the degree of bobbin filling at the same time. When one sensor 19 detects the filling degree of the bobbin 11, there is a gap formed between the two adjacent bobbins 14 above the other sensor 20. Therefore, it becomes easy to process the signals of the sensors 19 and 20 continuously. If it is not necessary for the two sensors 19 and 20 to detect the filling degree of the bobbins 11 and 14 at the same time, the angle θ2 (second angle) of the two sensors 19 and 20 may be relatively slightly shifted. It is. Note that the second angle θ2 is preferably smaller than the first angle θ1.

  It is preferable to provide the sensors 17 and 18 for each bobbin housing 10 or to provide one sensor 19 and 20 for each of the bobbin groups 12 and 13. However, it is of course possible to combine both sensors 17, 18, 19, 20 with each other.

  The sensors 17 and 18 or the sensors 19 and 20 are connected to a machine control device 24 (not shown) of the pattern warp partial warper 1 by a method not shown in detail. The machine control device 24 stops the operation of the pattern warp partial warper 1 when the degree of filling of the at least one bobbin 11 or 14 falls below a predetermined filling level target value. When the diameter of the bobbins 11 and 14 is detected by the sensors 17 and 18 or the sensors 19 and 20, the filling level target value is a fixed diameter value obtained from the diameter of the empty bobbin and a slight height of the winding layer. Is done. Accordingly, none of the bobbins 11 and 14 are emptied, and the warp partial warper 1 can be reliably stopped before the bobbins 11 and 14 are emptied, and the warping process can be interrupted. In this way, by stopping the pattern warp partial warper 1, the bobbins 11 and 14 can be replaced, and the end of the warp is disappeared into the warp wound on the warp drum. It is possible to avoid the occurrence of “thread breakage”.

  That is, the sensors 17, 18, 19, and 20 have sufficient confidence as to whether any of the bobbins are likely to be emptied, that is, whether or not sufficient yarn remains in the bobbins to allow the warping process to continue smoothly. When it is determined by the characteristics and it is clear that the filling degree is small, the machine control device 24 automatically stops the partial warp machine 1 for the pattern warp. As a result, the supervisor receives an instruction that one of the bobbins 11 and 14 must be replaced. By doing so, the bobbins 11 and 14 can be replaced at an appropriate time, and an excessive amount of the yarn 6 does not remain on the bobbins 11 and 14, and the bobbins 11 and 14 become empty. Thus, “disordered thread breaks” do not occur.

  Further, it is not necessary to set the rotational speed of the rotary creel 5 so slow that the monitor can visually monitor the remaining amount of the bobbins 11 and 14, and the rotary creel 5 can be rotated at a relatively high speed in the warping process. Can be rotated. Thereby, it can warp in the partial warp 1 for pattern warps early.

  Furthermore, an automatic mounting device 22 as schematically shown in FIG. 1 can be provided. The automatic mounting device 22 takes out a bobbin prepared by winding a thread from the bobbin magazine 23, takes out an empty bobbin from the rotary creel 5, and replaces the bobbin taken out from the bobbin magazine 23 with an empty bobbin. . At that time, the automatic loading device 22 cuts the thread between the emptied bobbin and the thread guide 7 through which the thread passes, and removes the thread from the new bobbin or the bobbin magazine 23. Combine with the beginning.

  A more preferable configuration is to connect a machine control device 24 and a pattern control device that changes and outputs a filling level target value in accordance with a pattern to be manufactured. In such a configuration, it is possible to detect a bobbin that will be empty at the next handle portion and replace the bobbin before it becomes the next handle portion. It is possible to avoid the formation of a knot in the handle portion, that is, in the handle warp to be warped. The pattern control device “recognizes” how much yarn is needed to produce a specific pattern, so it is easy to produce a pattern warp with no knots or few knots along the way. it can.

  In the present embodiment, the machine control device 24 is configured to stop the operation of the pattern warp partial warper 1 before the bobbin becomes empty or empty. However, it is also preferable that a warning signal is generated by the sensors 17, 18, 19, and 20 a certain time before the bobbin is emptied so that the supervisor can take out the replenishment bobbin and wait until the replacement timely. is there.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and additions, deletions, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
