Description

  The present invention relates to a bobbin transport device and a transport auxiliary unit that transport bobbins used in textile machines.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a textile machine such as an automatic winder, bobbins (threadless bobbins, hereinafter simply referred to as bobbins) that have been unwound and processed by each winding unit are discharged from the winding unit. The bobbin transport device transports, for example, this threadless bobbin from each winding unit to a bobbin collection box (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  The bobbin conveying device of Patent Document 1 includes a horizontal conveyor (first conveyor 5) and a rising conveyor (second conveyor 6). A horizontal conveyor is arrange | positioned in the front position of a winding unit, and conveys a bobbin toward a horizontal direction. The rising conveyor is disposed on the downstream end side of the horizontal conveyor and conveys the bobbin in the upward direction. The bobbin transported by the horizontal conveyor is transferred to the rising conveyor, is transported to the upper part of the bobbin recovery box by the rising conveyor, and is input from the upper surface opening of the bobbin recovery box. The endless belt of the rising conveyor is provided with wings (22a) for lifting the bobbin.

  The bobbin transfer from the horizontal conveyor to the rising conveyor will be specifically described. The direction when the bobbin is conveyed to the horizontal conveyor is substantially constant. The bobbin has a tapered shape in which the diameter gradually increases from one end portion in the axial direction toward the other end portion, and one end portion of the bobbin (hereinafter also referred to as a small diameter portion) or the other end portion of the bobbin (hereinafter, a large diameter portion). (Also referred to as “)” is transported approximately forward in the transport direction of the horizontal conveyor. Below, the case where the large diameter part of a bobbin is conveyed toward the downstream of the conveyance direction of a horizontal conveyor is demonstrated. The bobbin is conveyed in a sleeping position on a horizontal conveyor. When the bobbin is conveyed to a position where it comes into contact with the rising conveyor, the large-diameter portion of the bobbin is pressed against the belt surface of the rising conveyor by the conveying force of the horizontal conveyor toward the rising conveyor. The large-diameter portion of the bobbin comes into contact with the belt surface of the rising conveyor, and the friction force with the belt surface (friction force acting in the opposite direction to the sliding direction force caused by gravity) and the rising direction of the rising conveyor It begins to lift depending on the conveying force. At the same time, the lifting of the large-diameter portion of the bobbin is supported by the frictional force between the small-diameter portion of the bobbin and the belt surface of the horizontal conveyor (the frictional force acting in the opposite direction to the sliding force caused by gravity).

  The bobbin changes from a sleeping posture to a posture rising along the rising conveyor by the action of the horizontal conveyor and the rising conveyor. When the entire bobbin reaches the downstream end of the horizontal conveyor and leaves the downstream end of the horizontal conveyor, the bobbin is placed on the wing (22a) of the rising conveyor in a posture that rises along the rising conveyor. . The bobbin moves from the horizontal conveyor to the rising conveyor through the posture change as described above.

JP 2009-51599 A

  However, the above-described bobbin posture change may not be reliably performed at the downstream end of the horizontal conveyor. When a bobbin that cannot be smoothly transferred from the horizontal conveyor to the rising conveyor occurs, there is a problem that the bobbin conveyance is stagnated at the downstream end of the horizontal conveyor.

  For example, if the inclination angle (elevation angle) in the rising direction of the rising conveyor is increased, the bobbin in the posture lying along the horizontal conveyor is unlikely to change to the posture rising along the rising conveyor. As a result, the bobbin posture is not reliably changed at the downstream end of the horizontal conveyor, and a bobbin that cannot be transferred from the horizontal conveyor to the rising conveyor is generated. In particular, when a bobbin having an elongated shape than usual is transported, this tendency becomes remarkable because the frictional force between the horizontal conveyor and the rising conveyor and the bobbin becomes small.

  In order to increase the frictional force between the horizontal conveyor and the rising conveyor and the bobbin, a material having a large friction coefficient (for example, a rubber material having a relatively low hardness) may be used for the belts of the horizontal conveyor and the rising conveyor. However, there is a problem that fluff or lint tends to adhere to the belt surface, and the frictional force between the belt surface and the bobbin decreases.

  For this reason, in order to ensure that the bobbin with various shapes including the bobbin having a slender shape than usual is changed from the sleeping position to the rising position, the rising angle of the rising conveyor is inclined. It is necessary to set the (elevation angle) to be equal to or less than a predetermined angle, or to set the conveyance speed to a high speed. However, if the inclination angle of the rising conveyor is equal to or less than a predetermined angle, the horizontal dimension of the rising conveyor becomes large, and there arises a problem that the floor area necessary for installing the bobbin conveying device becomes large. In addition, in order to increase the conveyance speed, there are problems that the motor is increased in size and costs are increased, and that the user cannot arbitrarily set the conveyance speed.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. An object of the present invention is to provide a bobbin transport device that can reliably transport a bobbin in a lying position toward an ascending direction, and to provide a transport auxiliary unit used in such a bobbin transport device. It is.

  Next, an automatic winder as a textile machine to which a bobbin conveying device according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the automatic winder 100 includes a plurality of winding units 10 and a bobbin transport device 20 arranged side by side.

  Each winding unit 10 is configured to form a package by unwinding the yarn wound around the bobbin with yarn and winding it back onto the winding bobbin. A bobbin with a thread is a bobbin around which a thread spun by a spinning machine is wound. The bobbin with a thread is supplied to each winding unit 10 by, for example, a magazine-type bobbin supply device (not shown). The bobbin supply method is not limited to this. The bobbin without thread that has been processed by unwinding the thread in each winding unit 10 is discharged from the winding unit 10. The bobbin discharged from the winding unit 10 includes not only a bobbin having no yarn remaining but also a bobbin with a remaining yarn that has been determined to be difficult to unwind by the winding unit 10 due to unwinding failure or the like. . Hereinafter, the bobbin without a thread and the bobbin with a remaining thread will be described as a bobbin B without being distinguished.

  Although there are various shapes of the bobbin B, as shown in FIG. 2, the general bobbin B has a shape from the small diameter part B1 (the tip side part of the bobbin B: one end part) to the large diameter part B2 (bobbin). The bottom side portion of the substrate: the other end portion) has a tapered shape whose diameter gradually increases.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bobbin transport device 20 is configured to transport the bobbin B discharged from each winding unit 10 to a bobbin recovery box 70 for recovery. The bobbin conveying device 20 has a horizontal conveyor 40 as a first conveyor and a rising conveyor 30 as a second conveyor. The rising conveyor 30 is a conveyor that conveys the bobbin B in the upward direction. The horizontal conveyor 40 is a conveyor that conveys the bobbin B in the lateral direction (horizontal direction) toward the rising conveyor 30. The rising conveyor 30 and the horizontal conveyor 40 may be an integrated conveyor, but in this embodiment, the rising conveyor 30 and the horizontal conveyor 40 are separate conveyors.

  The horizontal conveyor 40 is arrange | positioned at the front side of the winding unit 10 arranged in parallel. On the horizontal conveyor 40, the bobbin B discharged from each winding unit 10 is placed. The horizontal conveyor 40 conveys the bobbin B toward the rising conveyor 30 disposed on one end side thereof. The horizontal conveyor 40 includes a driving roller 41, a driven roller 42, and an endless belt 43. The endless belt 43 is wound around the driving roller 41 and the driven roller 42. The driving roller 41 is rotationally driven by a driving device (not shown). As the drive roller 41 rotates, the endless belt 43 rotates and the bobbin B placed on the endless belt 43 is conveyed toward the rising conveyor 30. In addition, the conveyance direction of the horizontal conveyor 40 is not restricted to a perfect horizontal direction, You may incline slightly. The arrangement positions of the driving roller 41 and the driven roller 42 may be reversed. Similarly, the arrangement positions of the driving roller 31 and the driven roller 32 described later may be reversed.

  The rising conveyor 30 conveys the bobbin B conveyed by the horizontal conveyor 40 in the upward direction. The rising conveyor 30 conveys the bobbin B to above the bobbin collection box 70 and throws the bobbin B through the upper surface opening of the bobbin collection box 70. The rising conveyor 30 includes a driving roller 31, a driven roller 32, an endless belt 33, and a conveyance auxiliary unit 60. The endless belt 33 is wound around the driving roller 31 and the driven roller 32. The driving roller 31 is rotationally driven by a driving device (not shown). As the driving roller 31 rotates, the endless belt 33 rotates. In the rising conveyor 30, it is difficult to convey the bobbin B upward only with the conveying force and frictional force of the endless belt 33. For this reason, the rising conveyor 30 is configured to be able to convey the bobbin B upward by causing the conveyance assisting unit 60 of the endless belt 33 to assist the conveyance of the bobbin B. Note that the conveying direction of the rising conveyor 30 is obliquely above, excluding the vertical direction. In order to reduce the floor area required for the installation of the rising conveyor 30 and to facilitate the transfer of the bobbin B from the horizontal conveyor 40, the rising angle (elevation angle) of the rising conveyor 30 is preferably 45 degrees to 60 degrees. More preferably, it is 50 to 60 degrees.

  As a material for the endless belts 33 and 43, for example, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) can be used.

  The conveyance assisting unit 60 is a member that assists the transfer of the bobbin B from the horizontal conveyor 40 to the rising conveyor 30 and assists the conveying in the upward direction by the rising conveyor 30. As shown in FIG. 2, the conveyance assisting unit 60 is installed at a predetermined interval over the entire circumference of the endless belt 33. As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the conveyance auxiliary unit 60 includes a placement unit 61, a locking unit 62, and a base 63. In FIG. 3, a net pattern is added to a later-described gap 62 </ b> B so that the configuration of the conveyance auxiliary unit 60 can be easily understood. The placement unit 61 is a part on which the bobbin B conveyed by the rising conveyor 30 is placed. The locking portion 62 is a portion that assists the posture change of the bobbin B from the posture that is conveyed while lying on the horizontal conveyor 40 to the posture that is conveyed in the upward direction by the rising conveyor 30.

  The base portion 63 is a portion that serves as a base of the conveyance auxiliary portion 60, and a placement portion 61 and a locking portion 62 are provided on the base portion 63. In this embodiment, the locking portion 62 is configured by arranging a plurality of box-shaped portions 62 </ b> A in parallel with a predetermined interval in the conveyor width direction (a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction of the rising conveyor 30). An upper wall surface of the box-shaped portion 62 </ b> A that constitutes the locking portion 62 is configured as a placement portion 61. That is, the placing portion 61 is a surface portion that spreads in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction. The base 63 has at least a substrate 63A on which a plurality of box-shaped portions 62A are provided. The base 63 is configured to be detachable from the rising conveyor 30. That is, the entire conveyance auxiliary unit 60 is detachable from the rising conveyor 30. As for conveyance auxiliary part 60, it is good that each part 61-63 is integrally formed with a resin material. As the resin material, for example, polyamide resin, more preferably polyamide 6 can be employed.

  The locking part 62 has a gap 62 </ b> B in which the body part of the bobbin B conveyed by the rising conveyor 30 is sandwiched. In other words, a gap 62B is formed between the opposing side walls 62C of adjacent box-shaped portions 62A. A plurality of gaps 62B are formed in the conveyor width direction. Each gap 62B is formed with a predetermined length along the conveying direction of the bobbin B so that the body of the bobbin B is stably sandwiched. The dimension (hereinafter also simply referred to as width) D of the gap 62B in the conveyor width direction is set to be larger than the diameter of the small diameter portion B1 of the bobbin B and smaller than the diameter of the large diameter portion B2 of the bobbin B. The width D of the gap 62B is preferably matched to the size of the bobbin B to be conveyed, but the width D of the gap 62B is preferably set to 11 mm to 13 mm so as to correspond to the size of the bobbin B that is generally used. As a general bobbin B, for example, there are those having a minimum diameter of 5 mm and a maximum diameter of 14 mm, and those having a minimum diameter of 8 mm and a maximum diameter of 20 mm.

  Next, the transfer of the bobbin B from the horizontal conveyor 40 to the rising conveyor 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9 show a state in which the bobbin B is transported toward the downstream side in the transport direction of the horizontal conveyor 40 through the large-diameter portion B2.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the bobbin B is transported in a sleeping position along the belt surface of the endless belt 43 on the horizontal conveyor 40. As shown in FIG. 6, when the bobbin B is conveyed to a position where it contacts the rising conveyor 30, the large-diameter portion B <b> 2 of the bobbin B is moved by the conveying force of the horizontal conveyor 40 toward the rising conveyor 30. It is pressed against the belt surface of the endless belt 33. The large-diameter portion B2 of the bobbin B is in contact with the surface of the endless belt 33, and the friction force with the surface of the endless belt 33 (friction force acting in the opposite direction to the force in the sliding direction due to gravity) and the rising conveyor 30 It begins to lift by the conveying force in the upward direction. At the same time, the frictional force between the small-diameter portion B1 of the bobbin B and the endless belt 43 of the horizontal conveyor 40 (the frictional force acting in the opposite direction to the force in the sliding direction caused by gravity) lifts the large-diameter portion B2 of the bobbin B. Be supported.

  Conventionally, the friction force between the endless belt 33 and the endless belt 43 and the bobbin B is the sliding direction due to the large inclination angle (elevation angle) of the rising conveyor 30 and the smaller diameter of the bobbin B than usual. If it is not sufficient to overcome this force, the bobbin B may rise and slip slightly at this stage, and it may be difficult to change the posture to rise along the rising conveyor 30.

  In the present embodiment, the conveyance auxiliary unit 60 provided on the rising conveyor 30 assists the posture change of the bobbin B. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the body portion of the bobbin B is caught in the locking portion 62 by being caught in the gap 62B of the locking portion 62 of the conveyance assisting portion 60, and the bobbin B is caught in the gap 62B. It is easy to rise along the rising conveyor 30 by receiving the conveying force of the rising conveyor 30 in the state.

  For this reason, the bobbin B changes from the sleeping posture to the posture rising along the rising conveyor 30 by the action of the horizontal conveyor 40 and the rising conveyor 30 and the action of the conveyance auxiliary unit 60 provided in the rising conveyor 30. To do.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the entire bobbin B reaches the downstream end of the horizontal conveyor 40 and leaves the downstream end of the horizontal conveyor 40, the bobbin B rises along the surface of the endless belt 43 of the rising conveyor 30. In a posture, it is in a state of being placed on the placement portion 61 of the conveyance assisting portion 60 of the rising conveyor 30 or in a state of being sandwiched in the gap 62B of the locking portion 62 as shown in FIG. The bobbin B moves from the horizontal conveyor 40 to the rising conveyor 30 through the posture change as described above.

  The bobbin transport device 20 and the transport auxiliary unit 60 according to the present embodiment described above have the following effects.

  The conveyance auxiliary unit 60 of the bobbin conveyance device 20 includes a loading unit 61 for placing the bobbin B conveyed by the rising conveyor 30, and a bobbin from a posture conveyed by the horizontal conveyor 40 to a posture conveyed in the upward direction. And a locking portion 62 that assists in changing the posture of B. For this reason, the friction force between the endless belt 33 and the endless belt 43 and the bobbin B overcomes the force in the sliding direction due to the elevation angle of the rising conveyor 30 and the diameter of the bobbin B being thinner than usual. Even if it is not sufficient, the locking portion 62 of the conveyance assisting portion 60 assists the posture change of the bobbin B, so that the bobbin B in the lying posture can be reliably conveyed in the upward direction. That is, the bobbin B can be reliably transferred from the horizontal conveyor 40 to the rising conveyor 30.

  The locking portion 62 of the conveyance assisting portion 60 has a gap 62B formed along the conveying direction of the bobbin B, and the body portion of the bobbin B conveyed in the upward direction is a side wall 62C constituting the gap 62B. By the gap 62B. For this reason, the latching | locking part 62 can be formed with a simple structure.

  Further, the gap 62 </ b> B is formed with a predetermined length along the conveying direction of the rising conveyor 30. For this reason, the bobbin B can be stably conveyed in the ascending direction while preventing the bobbin B from collapsing because the bobbin B is sandwiched in the gap 62B in a relatively wide area.

  The bobbin B has a tapered shape in which the diameter gradually increases from the small-diameter portion B1 toward the large-diameter portion B2, and the width of the gap 62B is larger than the diameter of the small-diameter portion B1 of the bobbin B. It is set smaller than the diameter of the part B2. Therefore, the bobbin B can be locked in a state where the bobbin B is sandwiched in the gap 62B, and the bobbin B can be easily caught on the locking part 62, so that the bobbin B can be stably conveyed in the upward direction.

  Further, the textile machine of the present embodiment is an automatic winder 100, and the bobbin B after unwinding is collected in the bobbin collection box 70. By providing the conveyance assisting unit 60, the bobbin B is moved upward. Since the elevation angle of the rising conveyor 30 that conveys toward the vehicle can be increased, the floor area necessary for installing the bobbin conveying device 20 can be reduced, and the bobbin conveying device 20 and the bobbin collection box 70 can also be installed. It becomes easy.

  As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said Example, A various change is possible.

  For example, the textile machine to which the bobbin conveying device 20 is applied is not limited to the automatic winder 100. The present invention can be applied to other textile machines provided with a line for automatically discharging the bobbin B.

  Moreover, the shape of the conveyance auxiliary | assistant part 60 is not limited to the shape demonstrated in the present Example, A various shape is employable. For example, as shown in the rising conveyor 130 in FIGS. 10 and 11, the box-shaped portion 62 </ b> A that constitutes the locking portion 62 of the conveyance auxiliary portion 60 may be a cylindrical portion 162 </ b> A. That is, it is good also as the conveyance auxiliary | assistant part 160 which has the column-shaped part 162A and the latching | locking part 162. FIG. Moreover, as shown in the rising conveyor 230 of FIG.12 and FIG.13, you may integrally mold the conveyance assistance part 260 with a resin member. The conveyance auxiliary unit 260 includes a placement unit 261 and a locking unit 262 having a gap 262B. A rib 262 </ b> D extending in the transport direction (vertical direction) is formed on the upstream side (downward) in the transport direction of the placement unit 261 in order to reinforce the placement unit 261. A space 262E is provided on the downstream side in the transport direction of the gap 262B. Note that the shape of the gap 262B is preferably matched to the shape of the bobbin B. Further, the rib 262D and the space 262E may not be provided. In FIG. 12, a net pattern is added to the gap 262B and a net pattern different from the gap 262B is added to the space 262E so that the configuration of the conveyance assisting unit 260 can be easily understood. For example, nylon can be used as the resin material. Moreover, although the said Example demonstrated that the whole conveyance auxiliary | assistant part 60 should be integrally molded, the structure which shape | molds each part of the conveyance auxiliary | assistant part 60 separately, and combines and integrates may be sufficient. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the entire conveyance assisting unit 60 is configured to be detachable from the rising conveyor 30. However, the conveyance assisting unit 60 may not be configured to be detachable, for example, directly on the surface of the endless belt 33 of the rising conveyor 30. It may be formed.

  Further, the gap 62B shown in FIG. 3 and the gap 162B shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 are opened in the conveying direction of the rising conveyor 30 and sandwich the body portion of the bobbin B, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, the upstream end portion (lower end portion) in the transport direction of the rising conveyor 30 in the gaps 62B and 162B may be closed, and the bobbin B may be supported by the closed portion. Moreover, you may make it close | close the upstream end part of the conveyance direction of the space 262E also about the latching | locking part 262 which has the clearance gap 262B shown in FIG. 12, FIG.

  Moreover, the latching | locking part 62 of the conveyance auxiliary | assistant part 60 should just be a shape where the bobbin B is hooked, for example, may be a groove | channel, protrusion, and a comb shape.

  The rising conveyor 30 and the horizontal conveyor 40 are separate conveyors, but may be integrated conveyors as described above. In this case, the conveyance auxiliary unit 60 may remain in a state of protruding at the horizontal portion, but may be movable so that it does not protrude at the horizontal portion and protrudes at the rising portion.

  In addition, when the dimension (width) of the conveying surface of the rising conveyor 30 in the conveyor width direction is wide (for example, equal to or larger than the longitudinal dimension of the bobbin B), or when a plurality of rising conveyors 30 are arranged side by side, Like the rising conveyor 330 shown in FIG. 14, it is preferable to provide the separator 34 along the conveyance direction of the endless belt 33. As shown in FIG. The conveyance auxiliary part 360 is installed on both sides of the separator 34. By providing the separator 34, it is possible to prevent the bobbin B transported by the rising conveyor 30 from lying in the width direction of the rising conveyor 30.
