Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a spinning bobbin conveying device for conveying spinning bobbins between an automatic winder and a spinning machine.

[Prior Art] Generally, in a factory that employs a system that connects an automatic winder and a spinning machine, a spinning bobbin conveying device is provided for transferring the spinning bobbins to each other.

This conveyor is designed to convey trays with spinning bobbins placed on them by a conveyor installed between an automatic winder and a spinning machine, and to convey the actual bobbins produced in the spinning machine. The automatic winder is configured to transport the empty bobbin, and the empty bobbin wound up as a balance gauge in the automatic winder and discharged is transported to the spinning machine.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] In recent years, conveyors have been developed so that workers, carts, etc. can pass between automatic winders and spinning machines, that is, so that they can pass across the conveyor. It is practiced to form a gate-like structure by standing it up like a gate.

However, in such a gate conveyor, the bend in the section where the direction changes is made gentle so that the spinning bobbins of the trays conveyed in a row do not interfere with each other and so that the direction can be changed smoothly. However, this required a lot of wasted space, creating an issue in terms of space saving.

In addition, there is a height difference in the bobbin conveyance surface between the spinning machine table and the winder machine table, and there is also a width difference in the position of the bobbin conveyance path, which complicates the conveyor path and drive mechanism. For this reason, in addition to increasing equipment costs and complicating maintenance, if the distance between machines is increased or the layout is changed, the transport equipment may need to be changed, such as extending the transport distance or changing the route. The problem was that it was difficult to deal with.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention was devised to provide a spinning bobbin conveying device that can secure a passage in a space-saving manner and can accommodate changes in arrangement with a simple mechanism.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides an automatic winder, a spinning machine, etc., with an ascending conveyor that vertically conveys a tray in which spinning bobbins to be delivered are placed, by tilting it in a transverse conveying direction. A descending conveyor is provided, and an intermediate conveyor is provided between a pair of opposing conveyors to relay the conveyance of the trays. The conveyor twists the trays, detours them vertically, conveys the trays in a row, passes them to the other descending conveyor or ascending conveyor via an intermediate conveyor, and connects them to an automatic winder. Secure passage space between the spinning machine and the spinning machine.

Then, a part of the real bobbin transport path 10 is provided on the negative side, and a part of the empty bobbin transport path 11 is provided on the opposite side.
It has come to form part of the

As shown in Figure 6, these conveyor belts 18.25
The drive system includes a drive pulley (motor) 27 provided for each drive pulley, and a guide pulley 28 provided at the bending portion 23 and the direction change position, and is driven in circulation independently of each other. It looks like this.

Also, among the guide pulleys 28, those located at the bending part 23 change direction with respect to the conveyor belt 18, and
It is formed to give a 90 degree twist.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

The tray T of the real bobbin B produced by the spinning machine 2 is
Is the unloading conveyor 8 carrying the actual bobbin l? 810 into the horizontal connection 15 of the ascending conveyor 3. The conveyor belt 18 of the ascending conveyor 3 is driven by a driving googly 27.
The tray T is driven to circulate and is urged by the spring 20, so that the tray T is driven in contact and moved in the conveying direction A.

The tray T to be transported is twisted at the bending part 23 before entering the vertical part 16 from the horizontal connection part 15, and is sequentially changed from an upright position and is tilted in the transport transverse direction C.

Due to this attitude change, the continuously aligned trays T are smoothly turned upward and conveyed to the upper end of the vertical portion 16, and then changed in attitude at the upper bending portion 23, and then moved to the upper horizontal connecting portion 15. The patient is placed in a standing position again.

Then, this tray T is transferred from the end of the horizontal connection section 15 to the intermediate conveyor 7, and after being conveyed horizontally, enters the descending conveyor 5 of the automatic winder IIFJ.

Furthermore, from the horizontal connection part 15 of the descending conveyor 5, the bending part 2
3, the automatic winder 1 is transferred to the inlet conveyor 9 via the horizontal connection part 15. passed to.

On the other hand, the tray T of the empty bobbin B after being wound up by the automatic winder 1 is also lifted up from the unloading conveyor 12 of the automatic winder 1 while changing its posture halfway by the ascending conveyor 4, and is successively conveyed to the intermediate conveyor 7. and is conveyed via the descending conveyor 6 to the carry-in conveyor 13 of the spinning machine 2.

In this way, the elevating/descending conveyors 3...6 are provided to change the posture of the trays T as appropriate and convey them, and the trays T are arranged in a row and detoured upward, so that the length of the bent portion 23 can be shortened and Even if the spinning bobbins B or trays T are formed to be bent, they can be transported smoothly without interfering with each other, and the passage 11 for workers etc. can be secured in the minimum necessary space. That is, space saving in the system for connecting the automatic winder 1 and spinning a2 is achieved.

Also, the conveyance path 10.1 between the automatic winder 1 and the spinning a2
1 is divided into three parts by the elevating and descending conveyors 3...6 and the intermediate conveyor 7, and each is operated by a separate drive system, so each has a simple route and maintenance is easy. Moreover, even when the distance between the automatic winder 1 and the spinning frame 2 is long, it can be easily handled.

That is, conventionally, each of the transport paths io and tt or both transport paths 10 and 11 were operated by a single drive system. However, since there is a natural limit to the conveyance force (conveyance amount), it is difficult to install a conveyance device when the machine is arranged such that the conveyance distance is long. This means that the automatic winder 1 and the spinning fi 2 can be directly connected through the gate-shaped conveyance path even in separate lines.

Furthermore, in the case of a single drive system, there are many locations where the conveyor belt changes direction and twists, which may lead to an increase in the driving force and number of members, and a decrease in durability. The present invention prevents these problems from occurring, and prevents increases in equipment costs and frequent maintenance.

The present invention can be applied to any positional relationship between the automatic winder 1 and the spinning frame 2 by adapting the intermediate conveyor to this, without changing the elevating conveyor, and is extremely versatile. In other words, the layout of a directly connected spinning line can be freely designed.
