Description

The present invention relates to a transport reinforcement element for a section of a textile machine for producing wound packages, a section with such a transport reinforcement element, and a textile machine for producing wound packages having such a section. . Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for stabilizing a section of a textile machine for producing wound packages and to a method for producing such transport reinforcing elements.

DE 101 05 270 A1 discloses a textile machine for producing, for example, wound packages, which is designed as an open-end spinning machine and has a multi-section frame in the final assembly. summarized from In order to reduce the adjustment effort for the individual functional units or the work effort during the final assembly of the section frame of the spinning machine, the functional units, such as the rotor support, the untwisting unit or the winding unit, can be attached to the functional beam. It is premounted and integrated into the section frame as a whole during assembly.

In principle, it is known in textile machines for producing wound packages that a plurality of working units are grouped into sections and integrated into a section frame. Textile machines for producing wound packages include, in addition to the open-end spinning machines already mentioned, for example winders, air spinning machines, ring spinning machines, flyers, twisting machines or cabling machines. For transport, the section frame of the textile machine that produces the winding packages is stabilized with transport reinforcement elements so that the section frame does not deform even under high loads and the working unit is not damaged. can't be The sections are packed individually, with several functional elements which are easily damaged or which adversely affect the size and/or dimensions of the packing are supplied together in a so-called packing set (Beipack). . At the destination, the transport reinforcement elements are removed and disposed of, the functional elements of the packing set are assigned and attached to the respective sections, and the individual sections are combined into one complete machine. Such is known, for example, from the automatic winder Autoconer AC6 from Saurer Schlafhorst.

A first aspect of the invention is therefore a transport reinforcement element for a section of a textile machine for producing wound packages, in which a plurality of working units are combined in one section frame, said transport It relates to a transport reinforcing element, which is designed to stabilize the section frame during transport.

The proposed transport reinforcement element is distinguished by the fact that it is formed by functional elements which are arranged in sections for the operation of the textile machine.

In this way, secondary functions are assigned to the functional elements which are provided anyway for operating the textile machine. During transport, the functional element is attached to the section frame at stiffening locations, thus resulting in increased rigidity of the section. A deformation of the section frame caused by transportation, which could lead to damage to the working unit, is thereby avoided.

Since one member serves two functions, the total number of members can be reduced. Transit reinforcement elements have traditionally been special supplied components, required exclusively during transit, and removed and discarded at the destination. The reduction in parts not only reduces manufacturing costs, but also packing costs and shipping weight, which also manifests itself in lower shipping costs.

And by not having to dispose of the transport reinforcement element after transport, waste is further avoided and environmentally friendly.

Another advantage is that the functional elements are properly assigned individually to each section, so that the sorting of the packing set and the corresponding assignment of the functional elements to the individual sections is dispensed with. This not only facilitates assembly effort, but also prevents possible missorting.

Due to the fact that the functional components no longer have to be sent as so-called packing sets, packaging material and thus waste are also avoided in this regard, thus reducing shipping costs.

In a preferred configuration of the invention, the transport reinforcement element is formed by a rail support.

A rail support designed for holding rails for service assemblies and magazine holder profiles in the superstructure during operation of the textile machine as a functional component can be additionally transported particularly easily and with little effort. Can be used as a reinforcing element. A hook-like or gallos-like configuration of the rail support is provided to reinforce the side frame with one cross beam of the section frame.

In an alternatively preferred configuration, the transport reinforcement element is formed by a twill package delivery profile.

This profile preferably extends continuously in the longitudinal direction of the machine in the region of the winding frame during operation of the textile machine and is designed to remove the finished winding packages from the respective work unit. It is For transport, it is possible, with a corresponding design, to attach the twill package delivery profile between the side frames of the section frame. Such a form of attachment ensures that the side walls are rigidly joined together and that the position of the side walls is fixed relative to each other. With such a configuration, the twill package delivery profile is designed to significantly improve section reinforcement and stabilization.

Another aspect of the invention is a section of a textile machine for producing wound packages, wherein a plurality of working units are grouped in one section frame, the section being configured for operating the textile machine. and at least one transport reinforcement element for stabilizing the section frame during transport.

A section is then proposed in which at least one transport reinforcing element is formed by a transport reinforcing element according to one of the embodiments described above. This allows a section constructed in this way to obtain the advantages and effects described in relation to the transport reinforcement elements described above.

This configuration of sections provides the following significant advantages. In this case, therefore, one section can be produced with reduced individual parts and costs, and furthermore, the transport of the section frame without risk of deformation of the section frame is ensured. Due to the geometry of the section frame, it is particularly easy to deform into a parallelogram when a load is applied, which parallelogram is embossed in such a way that the working unit can be permanently damaged. Sometimes.

A suitable configuration of the sections can be easily realized and ensures reliable stabilization and reinforcement of the sections or section frames. Furthermore, the functional elements configured as transport reinforcement elements can be attached to the section which is also used for operating the textile machine, so that already during transport and upon arrival at the destination, each functional element can be installed in the corresponding section. are arranged according to Thus, the conventionally required manual sorting at the destination is no longer necessary and the assembly time is reduced overall.

Preferably, the transport reinforcing element can be attached to and detached from the section frame without damage and can be stabilized and positioned on the section frame during transport.

Without damage is meant a detachable arrangement of the transport reinforcement element in the section frame, with which the transport reinforcement element can be attached to the section frame without any means of action which would destroy or damage the member. It means that it can be attached or removed from the section frame. As a result, the secondary function of the functional element as a transport reinforcing element does not impair its later function during operation of the textile machine.

Moreover, the advantages and effects described in this connection can also be obtained on each subsequent new delivery. This is because, in practice, textile machines for producing wound packages are often moved from place to place.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a textile machine for manufacturing wound packages, comprising a plurality of working units, each sectioned together in a section frame.

A textile machine for producing wound packages is distinguished by the fact that the sections are formed by sections according to one of the embodiments described above.

Due to this configuration of the sections or the double use of elements which are used on the one hand as functional elements for the operation of the textile machine and on the other hand as transport reinforcing elements during transport, so-called packing sets are obtained. diminished or extinguished. In this way a relatively inexpensive delivery from the manufacturer to the customer and an optimized assembly of the textile machine are possible.

The invention furthermore is a method for stabilizing sections of a textile machine for manufacturing wound packages, in which a plurality of working units are grouped in one section frame, each section for operating the textile machine. and at least one transport reinforcement element for stabilizing the section frame during transport.

The method comprises at least one transport reinforcement element configured as in one of the embodiments described above, and in a first step the transport reinforcement element stabilizes the section for transport. fixed to the section frame so as to strengthen and reinforce it, and in the next step remove the transport reinforcement element so that, when assembling the section, the transport reinforcement element is used as a functional member for operating the textile machine, It stands out by being attached to each section frame.

According to a first step, suitably formed transport reinforcing elements formed by the functional members of the section are releasably attached to the section frame in the reinforcing position so that the section frame is resistant to loads occurring during transport. It is reinforced and stabilized, and the occurrence of bad deformation can be avoided.

In a second step after transport has taken place, the transport reinforcing elements are released from their respective reinforcing positions on the section frame. As a result, the transport reinforcement element can now be installed as a functional component in the textile machine according to its main function. Since the respective transport reinforcement element removed at this time is already associated with the respective section as a suitable functional element, the recombination can be carried out quickly.

Such a method makes it possible to obtain an optimized construction of the textile machine, which makes it possible to avoid the absence of functional components.

Yet another aspect of the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a transit reinforcement element according to one of the embodiments described above.

A proposed method for manufacturing a transport reinforcement element is characterized in that the transport reinforcement element is designed as a functional component for operating a textile machine and has a fixable structure, the fixable structure corresponds to a fixable structure in the section frame so that the transport reinforcement element functions for stabilization during transport in relation to its position or is fixable as a functional member for operating the textile machine. outstanding by doing

By designing the transport reinforcement element as a functional part at the same time, it is possible to advantageously provide a corresponding fixable structure for both functions. For the fixing of functional members, i.e. for the fixing of functional members, for the operation of the textile machine and for fulfilling its main function, such as the rail support for supporting the rails of the service assembly, the transport reinforcement element includes, for example, a section together with the rail support. A fixable structure may also be provided that allows the side portions of the frame to be coupled to the cross beams. The fixing means can then comprise, for example, a screw or a hole for receiving the screw in the transport reinforcement element or the section frame, or it can comprise a protruding profile which mates with the recess. Within the framework of the invention, basically all fixable constructions are conceivable which allow damage-free mounting and dismounting of the reinforcing element during transportation in two positions.
