Description

  The present invention relates to a textile machine. More particularly, the present invention relates to piping of a pipeline for supplying a working fluid in a textile machine.

  Generally, a textile machine such as an automatic winder supplies compressed air to each component and operates each component by the compressed air. For example, in a yarn splicing device, a swirling air flow is generated by compressed air to untwist and bond the yarns. In addition, in the textile machine, the yarn waste is removed by air blasting (blowing of compressed air), and various components are driven by driving an air cylinder.

  A typical textile machine also includes a component that is driven by a driving force transmitted by mechanical means such as a cam or a link mechanism (not compressed air). Therefore, in a conventional textile machine, a compressed air supply pipe and mechanical elements such as a cam and a link are arranged in a space in the main body.

  In recent years, there has been a demand for individual and flexible control of each component, and instead of a configuration in which driving force is transmitted to each component by a cam or link, a configuration in which each component is individually driven by a motor has been tried. It has been. In such a textile machine, instead of a cam or a link mechanism, a circuit board (control board) for motor drive control occupies most of the space inside the main body, and further a pipeline for supplying compressed air is piped. It will be.

  Such a textile machine needs to maintain the control board etc. inside a main body regularly (or irregularly). For this reason, it is preferable to determine the piping / attachment structure of the pipeline in consideration of maintainability. For example, when performing maintenance or the like of the control board, it is required to pipe the pipe so that the pipe does not get in the way. Further, when the pipe is made of an elastic material such as resin or rubber, there is a possibility that problems such as bending of the pipe may occur because it is flexible. Therefore, it is necessary to pipe the pipe so that the pipe is not bent unexpectedly during maintenance work of the control board.

  For example, Patent Document 1 is known from the viewpoint of improving the maintainability of a textile machine including an air pipe. Patent Document 1 discloses a winding unit that can be moved during maintenance and inspection. In the winding unit, an end of an air pipe is detachably joined via a coupling. Moreover, in patent document 1, air piping is formed with the flexible pipe | tube so that attachment / detachment can be performed easily. Furthermore, the winding unit disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes an opening / closing piece for preventing pressure fluctuation from occurring in another winding unit even if the pipe is removed. By comprising in this way, since piping can be attached or detached easily, a maintenance inspection work can be performed smoothly.

JP 2001-106434 A

  However, Patent Document 1 is intended to allow the winding unit to be moved to a position where maintenance and inspection can be easily performed by configuring the piping so that it can be easily attached and detached. The handling of pipes (piping) is not described in particular. Therefore, in the configuration of Patent Document 1, it is impossible to solve the problem of preventing the air pipe from being in the way or bending the air pipe when the inside of the winding unit is maintained.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a main object thereof is to provide a textile machine capable of improving the maintainability and preventing the bending of a pipe line for supplying a working medium. .

Means and effects for solving the problems

  The problems to be solved by the present invention are as described above. Next, means for solving the problems and the effects thereof will be described.

  According to the viewpoint of this invention, the textile machine of the following structures is provided. That is, this textile machine includes a unit main body portion, a component member, and a pipe line. The component member is disposed at or near the unit main body. The pipe is made of an elastic material and supplies an operation medium for operating the constituent members. In addition, at least a piping section is partitioned by a partition member inside the unit main body. And in the said unit main-body part, the said pipe line is piped in the said piping division.

  Thus, by dividing the space for piping, it is possible to keep the pipeline away from other members such as the control board. Therefore, when maintaining the other members, the pipeline is bent. It is possible to prevent the pipeline from being interrupted or the pipeline from being damaged. Further, by separating the pipe line from other members, the pipe line does not get in the way when maintaining other members. Also, even if the pipeline is damaged and the working medium flows out, the adverse effect such as the diffusion of the fluff by the working fluid may affect other members such as the control board. Can be prevented.

  The textile machine is preferably configured as follows. That is, in the unit main body, the partition member is formed with an opening through which a cable for transmitting electric power or an electric signal is passed. A seal member is disposed in a gap between the opening formed in the partition member and the cable.

  As described above, when the opening is formed in the partition member, the opening is closed with the seal member. It is possible to prevent the working fluid from flowing out through the opening portion and spreading the fluff to adversely affect other members such as a substrate contact failure.

  The textile machine is preferably configured as follows. That is, the textile machine includes a support portion for supporting the unit main body portion. The unit main body includes a fixed part fixedly supported by the support part and a moving part configured to be movable with respect to the fixed part. The pipe line is piped from the outside of the unit main body part to the moving part via the fixed part.

  In this way, by configuring a part of the unit main body part to be movable, it is possible to improve the maintainability of the constituent members provided in the moving part. Moreover, since the pipe line from the outside is introduced from the fixed part and piped to the moving part through the fixed part, the introduction part of the pipe does not move even if the moving part is moved. Therefore, even when the moving part is moved, it is not necessary to remove the pipe at the introduction location. Thereby, the maintainability can be further improved.

  The textile machine is preferably configured as follows. That is, the fixed part and the moving part are connected by a hinge part. And the said pipe line is piped so that the vicinity of the said hinge part may be passed.

  By comprising in this way, a moving part can be moved with the simple structure using a hinge part. Further, by piping the pipe line in the vicinity of the hinge part, the moving part can be moved without removing the pipe line between the moving part and the fixed part.

  In the textile machine, it is preferable that piping is performed so as to pass through an axis of the hinge portion.

  By piping in this way, it is possible to reduce the bending that occurs in the pipe line when the moving part is rotated around the hinge part, and it is possible to prevent the application of such a large force that the pipe line is bent. it can.

  In the textile machine, the working medium is preferably compressed air.

  That is, in a textile machine, compressed air is used as an operating medium for various cylinders, generates a swirling air flow for twisting yarn ends together, or used as an air blast for cleaning lint. There are many. Therefore, as described above, a configuration in which the compressed air piping is partitioned from other members such as a control board is particularly suitable.

The side surface fragmentary sectional view which shows the mode inside a unit main body. The external appearance perspective view which shows the structure of a hinge part.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic external perspective view of an automatic winder according to an embodiment of the present invention. An automatic winder (textile machine) 1 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of winder units 2 arranged side by side and a machine control device 3 arranged at one end in the arranged direction.

  Each winder unit 2 includes a unit main body 4 provided on one side of the left and right sides in front view, and each component attached to the side of the unit main body 4 (the unwinding auxiliary device 12 shown in FIG. An applicator 13, a yarn splicing device 14, a clearer 15, a cradle 23, a traverse drum 24, a lower thread guide pipe 25, and an upper thread guide pipe 26.

  FIG. 2 shows a schematic side view of the winder unit 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the winder unit 2 includes a bobbin support portion 7 and a winding portion 8.

  The bobbin support 7 has a bobbin holding peg 9. The bobbin holding peg 9 is configured to be able to hold the yarn feeding bobbin 21 in a substantially upright state by being inserted in the axial direction with respect to the core tube of the yarn feeding bobbin 21. The bobbin holding peg 9 can be tilted by a motor (not shown). By tilting the bobbin holding peg 9, the yarn feeding bobbin 21 held by the bobbin holding peg 9 in an upright state can be discharged.

  The winding unit 8 includes a cradle 23 and a traverse drum 24. The winding unit 8 is configured to generate a package 29 by winding the yarn 20 around the winding bobbin while traversing.

  The cradle 23 includes a cradle arm 23 a that holds the package 29. A bearing center 22 is disposed at the end of the cradle arm 23a, and the package 29 is rotatably supported by the bearing center 22.

  The traverse drum 24 is disposed to face the package 29 and is configured to be rotated by a motor (not shown). By rotating the traverse drum 24, the package 29 is driven to rotate. Thereby, the yarn unwound from the yarn supplying bobbin 21 can be wound on the surface of the package 29. A traverse groove (not shown) is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the traverse drum 24, and the traverse groove can traverse the yarn 20 with a predetermined width. With the above configuration, the yarn 20 unwound from the yarn supplying bobbin 21 can be wound up while being traversed to form a package 29 having a predetermined length and a predetermined shape.

  Further, the cradle 23 is configured to be able to swing around the swing shaft 23b. Thereby, even if the package 29 is thick, the surface of the package 29 can be brought into contact with the traverse drum 24 appropriately. The cradle 23 is connected to a package contact pressure cylinder 81. The package contact pressure cylinder 81 is configured as a pneumatic cylinder, and is driven by the supply of compressed air. By driving the package contact pressure cylinder 81, the cradle arm 23a can be driven in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction of the swing shaft 23b. Thereby, the contact pressure of the package 29 (force to press the package 29 against the traverse drum 24) can be adjusted as appropriate.

  Further, by driving the package contact pressure cylinder 81, the cradle arm 23a can be driven so as to pull the package 29 away from the traverse drum 24. By operating a package brake mechanism described later in this state, the rotation of the package 29 can be quickly stopped.

  The package brake mechanism is disposed at the tip of the cradle arm 23a. The package brake mechanism includes a brake shoe (not shown) and a brake cylinder (not shown) that drives the brake shoe in a direction in which the brake shoe is pressed against the bearing center 22. The brake cylinder is configured as a pneumatic cylinder, and is driven by supplying compressed air. The brake shoe is pressed against the bearing center 22 by driving the brake cylinder, and the rotation of the bearing center 22 can be stopped by the frictional force. Thereby, the rotation of the package 29 held by the cradle 23 can be quickly stopped.

  In addition, the winder unit 2 includes various devices in the vicinity of the unit main body 4 and in the yarn traveling path between the bobbin support 7 and the winding unit 8. More specifically, the yarn traveling path includes, in order from the bobbin holding peg 9 side to the traverse drum 24 side, the unwinding assist device 12, the tension applying device 13, the yarn joining device 14, and the clearer ( Yarn quality measuring device) 15 is disposed.

  The unwinding assisting device 12 brings the movable member 76 into contact with the balloon formed on the upper portion of the yarn supplying bobbin 21 by swinging the yarn to be unwound from the yarn supplying bobbin 21, and appropriately controls the size of the balloon. This assists the unwinding of the yarn 20. Since the position where the balloon is formed changes depending on the remaining yarn amount of the yarn supplying bobbin 21, the unwinding assisting device 12 unwinds the movable member 76 up and down according to the remaining yarn amount of the yarn supplying bobbin 21. An auxiliary device cylinder 82 is provided. The unwinding assisting device cylinder 82 is configured as a pneumatic cylinder and is driven by supplying compressed air. Then, by appropriately driving the unwinding assisting device cylinder 82, the movable member 76 can be moved up and down to an appropriate position so that the yarn from the yarn feeding bobbin 21 can be unwound appropriately.

  The tension applying device 13 applies a predetermined tension to the traveling yarn 20. The tension applying device 13 of this embodiment is configured as a gate type in which movable comb teeth are arranged with respect to fixed comb teeth. The movable comb teeth are configured to be rotatable by a rotary solenoid so that the comb teeth are engaged or released.

  The clearer 15 is configured to detect a yarn defect (yarn defect) such as a slab by monitoring the thickness of the yarn 20. A cutter 39 for cutting the yarn 20 immediately when the clearer 15 detects a yarn defect is disposed near the clearer 15.

  The yarn joining device 14 detects when the clearer 15 detects a yarn defect and cuts the yarn with the cutter 39, when the yarn being unwound from the yarn feeding bobbin 21 is broken, or when the yarn feeding bobbin 21 is replaced. For example, the lower thread on the yarn feeding bobbin 21 side and the upper thread on the package 29 side are spliced. The yarn splicing device 14 of the present embodiment blows compressed air onto the yarn ends of the upper yarn and the lower yarn, thereby generating a swirling air flow to untwist the yarn ends, and then unwinding the yarn ends. The yarn ends are twisted and joined by generating a swirling air flow in the opposite direction.

  On the lower side and upper side of the yarn joining device 14, a lower yarn guide pipe 25 that catches and guides the lower yarn on the yarn feeding bobbin 21 side, and an upper yarn guide pipe 26 that catches and guides the upper yarn on the package 29 side. And are provided. A suction port 32 is formed at the tip of the lower thread guide pipe 25, and a suction mouth 34 is provided at the tip of the upper thread guide pipe 26. Appropriate negative pressure sources are connected to the lower thread guide pipe 25 and the upper thread guide pipe 26, respectively, and a suction flow can be applied to the suction port 32 and the suction mouth 34.

  With this configuration, when the yarn breaks, when the yarn is cut, or when the yarn feeding bobbin is replaced, the suction port 32 of the lower yarn guide pipe 25 is rotated downward to suck and catch the lower yarn, and then the shaft 33 The lower thread is guided to the yarn splicing device 14 by rotating upward about the thread. At substantially the same time, the upper thread guide pipe 26 is rotated upward from the position shown in FIG. 2 about the shaft 35 and the package 29 is rotated in the reverse direction. Capture by. Subsequently, the upper thread guide pipe 26 rotates downward about the shaft 35 to guide the upper thread to the yarn joining device 14. In the yarn joining device 14, the yarn joining of the lower yarn and the upper yarn is performed.

  A magazine-type bobbin supply device 60 is disposed on the front side of the winder unit 2. The bobbin supply device 60 is configured to supply a new yarn supplying bobbin to the bobbin support 7 when the yarn supplying bobbin that is unwinding the yarn at the bobbin support 7 becomes empty. Specifically, the bobbin supply device 60 includes a magazine can 65 that can stock a plurality of yarn feeding bobbins 21. By driving the magazine can 65 by a motor (not shown), new yarn feeding bobbins 21 can be supplied to the bobbin support portion 7 one by one.

  With the above configuration, when a new yarn supplying bobbin from the bobbin supplying device 60 is supplied to the bobbin support portion 7, the new yarn supplying bobbin 21 side lower yarn and the package 29 side upper yarn are spliced together. Is done. After the yarn splicing, the traverse drum 24 is driven, so that the yarn can be unwound from the yarn supplying bobbin 21 and wound around the surface of the package 29.

  Although not shown, a lint cleaning mechanism is appropriately provided in the vicinity of each of the above components. The lint cleaning mechanism removes lint attached to the apparatus by blowing out compressed air (air blast) from a jet nozzle provided at an appropriate position.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, the unit main-body part 4 is divided | segmented up and down. As shown in FIG. 2, a winding unit 8, a yarn joining device 14, and the like are disposed on the main body upper portion 4 a. Moreover, the unwinding auxiliary device 12 etc. are arrange | positioned at the main body lower part 4b.

  The main body upper portion 4a and the main body lower portion 4b are connected by a hinge portion 10 arranged on the front side of the apparatus. The main body lower part 4b is fixed to a support frame (not shown) arranged in the left-right direction of the apparatus. Therefore, it can be said that the main body lower portion 4b is a fixed portion. On the other hand, the main body upper portion 4a can be moved so as to rotate forward about the hinge portion 10. Therefore, it can be said that the main body upper part 4a is a moving part. A state in which the main body upper portion 4a is moved is shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG.

  Thus, by rotating the main body upper portion 4a forward, it is possible to rotate the yarn joining device 14, the winding unit 8 and the like, which are frequently subjected to maintenance inspection, to a position where maintenance inspection is easy to perform. The main body upper portion 4a is fixed by being screwed to a duct 92 or the like disposed at the rear of the apparatus except during maintenance and inspection.

  Next, the internal state of the unit main body 4 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional side view of the unit main body 4.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the inside of the main body lower portion 4 b includes a first air pipe section 50 formed in the lower half of the main body lower section 4 b and a first substrate arrangement formed above the first air pipe section 50. It is divided into a section 51 and a second air pipe section 52 that is elongated in the vertical direction in front of the first air pipe section 50.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the inside of the main body upper portion 4 a is divided into a second substrate placement section 53 and a third air piping section 54 that is elongated in the vertical direction in front of the second substrate placement section 53. It has been.

  The air piping sections 50, 52, and 54 are spaces for piping the pipe line 61. This conduit 61 supplies a working medium (specifically, compressed air) to the yarn splicing device 14, the package contact pressure cylinder 81, the unwinding assisting device cylinder 82, the package brake mechanism, the yarn waste cleaning mechanism, and the like. It is for supply.

  On the other hand, the board placement sections 51 and 53 are spaces for placing the control board 63. Each control board 63 is for controlling a drive unit (specifically, a motor) for driving the bobbin holding peg 9, the traverse drum 24, the magazine can 65, and the like.

  In addition, the pipeline 61 is configured not to be piped inside the substrate placement sections 51 and 53. Further, in the main body lower portion 4b, a partition wall (partition member) 55a between the first air piping section 50 and the first substrate placement section 51 is provided between the first substrate placement section 51 and the second air piping section 52. Each is partitioned by a partition wall (partition member) 55b. In the main body upper portion 4a, the second substrate arrangement section 53 and the third air piping section 54 are partitioned by a partition wall (partition member) 55c.

  As described above, the sections where the control board 63 is arranged (board arrangement sections 51, 53) and the sections where the compressed air supply pipe 61 is piped (air pipe sections 50, 52, 54) are divided. Therefore, the pipe 61 is configured not to pass near the control board 63. Thereby, at the time of the maintenance of the control board 63, it is possible to prevent the pipeline 61 from being blocked due to the bending of the pipeline 61 or the pipeline 61 from being damaged due to the bending. Further, the pipeline 61 does not get in the way during maintenance of the control board 63.

  In addition, since the boundary portion between the section where the control board 63 is disposed and the section where the compressed air supply pipe 61 is piped is partitioned by the partition walls 55a, 55b and 55c, the pipe 61 is damaged by any chance. Even in this case, the leaked compressed air is not supplied to the vicinity of the control board 63. Accordingly, since the compressed air that has leaked does not diffuse the inside of the board placement sections 51 and 53, it is possible to prevent the connector portion of the control board 63 from being adversely affected such as poor contact.

  Next, the piping of the pipeline 61 and the wiring of the electric cable 64 will be described. This electric cable is for transmitting electric power and electric signals to the control board 63.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the pipe 61 and the electric cable 64 laid to the vicinity of the unit main body 4 are introduced into the main body lower portion 4b from the rear of the main body lower portion 4b, and thereafter each part of the unit main body portion 4. Piping or wiring to Thereby, when rotating the main body upper part 4a centering on the hinge part 10, it is not necessary to remove the introduction part of the pipe line 61 and the electric cable 64. FIG. That is, in the configuration of Patent Document 1, since the air pipe is introduced from the upper part of the winding unit (the upper part 4a of the main body in the present embodiment), it is necessary to remove the air pipe when tilting the upper part. was there. In this respect, in the present embodiment, as described above, by introducing the pipeline 61 and the like from the main body lower portion 4b, the main body upper portion 4a can be moved without separating the introduction portion. Can be done smoothly.

  The pipeline 61 is introduced into the first air piping section 50 from the outside of the main body lower portion 4b. Specifically, the conduit 61 is composed of a plurality of tubes made of a material (elastic material) having a certain degree of flexibility, and high-pressure air is supplied into each tube. A plurality of electromagnetic valves 62 for controlling the supply state of compressed air for each component are arranged in the first air piping section 50, and each of the tubes is connected to the corresponding electromagnetic valve 62. However, it goes without saying that there may be a tube not connected to the electromagnetic valve 62.

  The pipe line 61 through the electromagnetic valve 62 is drawn from the first air piping section 50 into the second air piping section 52. As described above, the second air piping section 52 is formed to be elongated vertically. Accordingly, the pipe 61 is piped up and down in the second air pipe section 52. Thereby, the pipe 61 introduced from the main body lower part 4b can be piped to the main body upper part 4a while avoiding the section where the control board 63 is arranged (first board arrangement section 51).

  In addition, some tubes among the tubes which comprise the pipe line 61 are connected to the structure (for example, cylinder 82 for unwinding assistance apparatus) arrange | positioned at the main body lower part 4b. Thus, the tube which does not need to be pulled out to the upper part 4a of the main body is directly piped from the first air pipe section 50 to the corresponding configuration without being drawn out to the second air pipe section 52 (illustration is omitted).

  The pipeline 61 piped up and down in the second air piping section 52 is drawn upward from the main body lower portion 4b and introduced into the third air piping section 54 of the main body upper portion 4a. As shown in FIG. 3, the hinge portion 10 is located on the piping path connecting the second air piping section 52 and the third air piping section 54, and the pipe path 61 has an axial center of the hinge section 10. Piped to pass through.

  The configuration of the hinge 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is an external view showing a state in which the front covers 57 and 58 (see FIG. 3) covering the front side of the air piping sections 52 and 54 are removed in order to better illustrate the configuration of the hinge unit 10. It is a perspective view.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the hinge part 10 is divided | segmented into right and left, The space which can let the pipe line 61 pass between the said left and right hinge parts 10 is formed. By piping the pipe line 61 to this portion, the pipe line can be piped so as to pass through the axis of the hinge portion 10. By configuring in this way, the bending of the pipeline 61 that occurs when the main body upper portion 4a is rotated about the axis of the hinge portion 10 can be suppressed to a minimum. It is possible to prevent the bending due to the occurrence of bending. Further, by configuring in this way, the main body upper portion 4a can be rotated without disconnecting the pipe line 61 between the main body upper portion 4a and the main body lower portion 4b.

  The pipeline 61 introduced into the third air piping section 54 through the axial center of the hinge portion 10 is piped to each configuration (for example, the package contact pressure cylinder 81 and the yarn splicing device 14) provided in the main body upper portion 4a. Thereby, compressed air can be supplied to each component arrange | positioned at the main body upper part 4a.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the electric cable 64 is introduced into the first substrate placement section 51 from the outside of the main body lower portion 4b. Although the illustration of the connection destination of the electric cable 64 is omitted because the drawing becomes complicated, a part of the electric cable 64 is connected to the control board 63 in the first board arrangement section 51. In the following description, the term “electric cable 64” refers to the inside of the unit main body 4 in addition to the electric cable 64 (electric cable for connection to the outside) drawn from the outside to the inside of the unit main body 4. Also includes electrical cables that are used only for wiring.

  A part of the electric cable 64 in the first substrate placement section 51 is drawn into the first air piping section 50 and connected to the electromagnetic valve 62 and the like. Thereby, the electromagnetic valve 62 can be controlled. In addition, in order to allow the electric cable 64 to pass between the first substrate placement section 51 and the first air piping section 50, a partition between the first substrate placement section 51 and the first air piping section 50. An opening 71 is formed in the wall 55a. A sealing member (packing) 72 is disposed in the opening 71, and the sealing member 72 is configured to close a gap between the opening 71 and the electric cable 64. Thereby, even if the pipeline is damaged in the first air piping section 50, a large amount of air can be prevented from flowing into the first substrate placement section 51 through the opening 71.

  A part of the electrical cable 64 in the first substrate placement section 51 is drawn upward from the first substrate placement section 51 and introduced into the second substrate placement section 53. The electric cable 64 introduced into the second board placement section 53 is connected to the control board 63 and the like in the second board placement section 53. Since the upper side of the first substrate placement section 51 is blocked by a partition wall (partition member) 55d, an opening 73 for drawing out the electric cable 64 upward is formed in the partition wall 55d. Yes. On the other hand, since the lower side of the second substrate placement section 53 is closed by a partition wall (partition member) 55e, an opening 74 for drawing the electric cable 64 from below is opened in the partition wall 55e. It is formed at a position corresponding to the portion 73.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the openings 73 and 74 are formed at positions near the hinge 10 (side the front of the apparatus) in a side view. Thus, by wiring the electric cable 64 at a position close to the hinge portion, bending of the electric cable 64 that occurs when the main body upper portion 4a is rotated around the hinge portion 10 is minimized, and the electric cable 64 Can be applied without excessive force. Further, with this configuration, the main body upper portion 4a can be rotated without disconnecting the electric cable 64 between the main body upper portion 4a and the main body lower portion 4b.

  As described above, the automatic winder 1 according to the present embodiment includes the unit main body 4, the constituent members, and the pipeline 61. The components (specifically, the yarn splicing device 14, the package contact pressure cylinder 81, the unwinding assisting device cylinder 82, the package brake mechanism, the cleaning mechanism, etc.) are arranged in the unit main body 4 or in the vicinity thereof. . The pipe 61 is made of an elastic material and supplies compressed air for operating the constituent members. In addition, the inside of the unit main body 4 is partitioned into substrate placement sections 51 and 53 and air pipe sections 50, 52, and 54 by partition walls 55a, 55b, 55c, 55d, and 55e. In the unit main body 4, the pipe line 61 is piped in the air pipe sections 50, 52, 54, and the control board 63 is arranged in the board placement sections 51, 53.

  Thus, by dividing the space for piping the pipeline 61 and the space for arranging the control board 63, the control board 63 and the pipeline 61 can be separated from each other, so that the control board 63 is maintained. In doing so, it is possible to prevent the pipeline 61 from being broken or the pipeline 61 from being damaged due to bending of the pipeline 61. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the supply of compressed air to a device that uses compressed air as a working medium, such as the package contact pressure cylinder 81, from becoming defective. Further, by separating the pipe 61 from other members, the pipe 61 does not get in the way when the control board 63 is maintained. In addition, even if the pipeline 61 is damaged and the compressed air flows out, it is possible to prevent the control board 63 from having adverse effects such as diffusion of fluff by the compressed air. it can.

  Moreover, the automatic winder 1 of this embodiment is comprised as follows. That is, in the unit main body 4, the partition wall 55 a is formed with an opening 71 through which an electric cable 64 for transmitting electric power or an electric signal is passed. A seal member 72 is disposed in the gap between the opening 71 and the electric cable 64.

  As described above, when the opening 71 is formed in the partition wall 55a, by closing the opening 71 with the seal member 72, the pipeline 61 is damaged and the compressed air flows out. Even if it exists, it can prevent that the said compressed air flows out through the opening part 71, and a bad influence, such as the contact failure of a board | substrate having arisen because a fluff is diffused, is exerted on the control board 63.

  Moreover, the automatic winder 1 of this embodiment is comprised as follows. That is, the automatic winder includes a support frame (not shown) for supporting the unit main body 4. The unit main body portion 4 includes a main body lower portion 4b fixedly supported by a support frame, and a main body upper portion 4a configured to be movable with respect to the main body lower portion 4b. The pipe 61 is piped from the outside of the unit main body 4 to the main body upper portion 4a via the main body lower portion 4b.

  As described above, by configuring a part of the unit main body 4 to be movable, it is possible to improve the maintainability of the constituent members provided in the main body upper portion 4a. Moreover, since the pipe line 61 from the outside is introduced from the main body lower part 4b and piped to the main body upper part 4a via the main body lower part 4b, even if the main body upper part 4a is moved, the introduction portion of the pipe does not move. Therefore, even when the main body upper portion 4a is moved, there is no need to remove the pipe at the introduction location. Thereby, the maintainability can be further improved.

  Moreover, the automatic winder 1 of this embodiment is comprised as follows. That is, the main body lower portion 4 b and the main body upper portion 4 a are connected by the hinge portion 10. And the pipe line 61 is piped so that the vicinity of the hinge part 10 may be passed.

  By comprising in this way, the main body upper part 4a can be moved by the simple structure using the hinge part 10. FIG. Moreover, by piping the pipe line 61 in the vicinity of the hinge portion 10, the main body upper part 4a can be moved without removing the pipe line 61 between the main body upper part 4a and the main body lower part 4b.

  Moreover, in the automatic winder 1 of this embodiment, it is piping so that the axial center of the hinge part 10 may be passed.

  By piping in this way, it is possible to reduce the bending that occurs in the pipeline 61 when the main body upper portion 4a is pivoted about the hinge portion 10, and a large force is applied to the pipeline 61 to be bent. Can be prevented.

  Moreover, in the automatic winder 1 of this embodiment, the said pipe line 61 is for supplying compressed air.

  That is, in a textile machine, compressed air is used as an operating medium for various cylinders, generates a swirling air flow for twisting yarn ends together, or used as an air blast for cleaning lint. There are many. Therefore, a configuration in which the compressed air pipe 61 and the control board 63 are partitioned as described above is particularly suitable.

  Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above configuration can be configured as follows, for example.

  Although the automatic winder has been described in the above embodiment, the present invention can be applied to other types of textile machines such as a spinning machine.

  The operating medium is not limited to compressed air, and may be, for example, pressurized oil.

  The partitioning method inside the unit main body in the above embodiment is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, other types of sections may be formed in addition to the section in which the substrate is disposed and the section in which the pipe line is piped.
