Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a package supply method for mounting a pancage formed in a spinning winder on a creel stand of a filament processing machine. The present invention relates to a package supply method when processing plants are located close to each other.

[Prior Art] Packages formed using a take-up winder are manufactured through a spinning process that requires large-scale equipment, and therefore are manufactured centrally at a spinning factory. On the other hand, the filament processing machines used in the drawing and false twisting process and the air processing process turn this package into various processed yarns, and the package is consumed in a dispersed manner at different filament processing factories located in remote locations. -It was S-like. However, in recent years, new factories have started to appear that have a spinning factory and a filament processing factory located close to each other for integrated production of compound fibers.

Therefore, packages transported from a spinning winder by an automatic doffing device or the like must be mounted on the creel stand of a filament processing machine without being stored on a pallet, and it has become desirable to automate this work. Ta.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, it is conceivable to add an elevating function, a function to push out each package, etc. to the conventional automatic doffing device, and to directly mount the automatic doffing device on a creel stand. However, in the method of loading the pancages one by one from the automatic doffing device to the creel stand, it takes time to receive and transport the packages from each of the many spinners and to load each package to the creel stand. The total of the doffing time is the cycle time of the automatic doffing device.

In other words, in a spinning factory, a large number of yarn take-up machines are arranged in rows, and there is a lot of time spent moving between the yarn take-up machines, and the time spent loading each package on the creel stand is added to this. Therefore, there was a problem that the cycle time became too long and caused Amma Tsuchi.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a package supply method that efficiently automates the supply of packages from an automatic doffing device to a creel stand. This is what we are trying to provide.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the package supply method of the present invention arranges a spinning factory and a filament processing factory in close proximity, and a plurality of filament winders from each of a large number of spinning winders in the spinning factory. An automatic doffing device that receives and transports packages at once and a creel stand transported from a filament processing factory are connected by receiving multiple packages from the automatic doffing device and loading each package onto the creel stand. It is connected to a dispensing robot.

[Effect]

Since the dispensing robot receives multiple packages at once from the doffing machine, the cycle time of the doffing machine is conventionally - hours. Then, before the automatic doffing device transports the next package, the distribution robot loads each pancage onto the creel stand, which shortens the cycle time of the entire package supply system (at the spinning factory). (be consistent with their abilities).

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of equipment for carrying out the buff cage supply method of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an automatic doffing device.

In FIG. 1, the package supply system includes an automatic doffing device 2 that runs on a rail 1 that continues inside the spinning factory, a reel stand 4 that can be moved laterally by a drive device 3, and an automatic doffing device 2 and a creel stand 4. This combination is a combination of distribution robots 5 that connect between the two, and this combination is usually installed at the end of a spinning factory. That is, the automatic doffing device 11
t2 receives a plurality of puff cages from each of a number of spinners within the spinning mill and transports them to an end of the spinning mill.

On the other hand, the empty creel stand 4 is also transported to the end of the spinning factory, and the automatic doffing device 2 and the creel stand 4 are connected by a distribution robot 5. This distribution robot 5 receives a large number of bags at once from the automatic doffing device 2,
Each package is mounted on the shaft 4A of the creel stand.

Therefore, this package supply system is based on the premise that the spinning factory and the filament processing factory are located close to each other, and that the creel stand 4 can be directly transported to the spinning factory.

Next, the structure and operation of each device will be explained in order.

In FIG. 1, the creel stand 4 has a shaft 4A on which a package P is mounted projected regularly in a grid pattern vertically and horizontally. This axis 4A is tilted slightly upward,
The pan cage P is mounted stably.

This round stand 4 is transported as it is to the filament processing machine and placed in parallel with the machine stand. Therefore, it is movable by the wheels 4B. by the way,
When combined with the dispensing robot 5, it can be moved laterally by the conveying means 3.゛That is, rail 3A
The wheels 4B engage with the grooves (which may also be grooves) to restrict lateral movement. A chain 3B is provided between the rails 3A so as to be freely drivable via a sprocket 3C and a motor 3D, and the creel stand 4 is hooked onto this chain 3B by a tool 4c, thereby enabling controlled lateral movement. There is. Therefore, when the dispensing robot 5 completes loading the packages P onto all columns of the shaft 4A, the horizontal pitch P1 of the shaft 4A is
Creel stand 4 moves laterally (towards the left in the illustration)
Then, the package P is mounted on the next vertical axis. Therefore, the dispensing robot 5 only needs to be able to move vertically at every pitch PL of the vertical axis and push the package P from the arm toward the axis 4A.

Next, the distribution robot 5 will be explained with reference to FIG. 1st
In the figure, a rotary table 18 is mounted on the base 13 and a motor 1 is mounted on the base 13.
9 so that it can rotate reciprocally. Three fixed columns 20 and one pole screw 21 are erected on this rotary table 18 between it and an upper plate 22.

Further, the pole screw 21 is rotationally driven by a motor 23 on the upper plate 22. An arm 12 is provided which has a post 24 guided by the fixed support 20 and a nut 25 that engages with the pole screw 21.
2 is movable up and down and pivotable with respect to the base 13.

The tip of this arm 12 is an air chuck shaft 12A, and when a plurality of packages P are inserted, the packages P can be held or released by pneumatically actuated rubber protrusions that can freely extend from the inner surface of the bobbin B. . The bushing 11 is a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the arm 12. At the tip of the cylinder rod IIA is a contact plate 11B.
is installed. That is, the air chuck shaft 12
Cylinder rod II against bobbin B in the released state of A.
When A extends, it hits the end face of the bobbin B [11B] and pushes the package P onto the shaft 4A of the creel stand 4. Further, the dispensing robot 5 is arranged so that when the arm 12 turns to a position facing the creel stand 4, there is a predetermined distance between the shaft 4A and the bobbin 8, and the length of the arm 12 is fixed.

However, it is also possible to make the arm 12 telescopic in two stages so that the alignment with the shaft 4A can be adjusted.

Note that if the entire dispensing robot 5 is made laterally movable, the creel stand 4 can be fixed.

Furthermore, by arranging the automatic doffing device 2 and the creel stand 4 in series and making the entire distribution port bot 5 movable in parallel with both the automatic doffing device 2 and the creel stand 4, the turning operation of the distribution robot 5 can be omitted. You can also do it.

Next, the automatic doffing device 2 will be explained based on FIG. 2.

In Figure 2, the rail l extends into the spinning mill;
The automatic doffing device 2 can reciprocate in front of a large number of spinning winders 6. The automatic doffing device 2 has a support 2B on a cart 2A.
A slide stand 2C with an upright structure is provided so as to be freely slidable. An air chuck shaft 2D projects from the support 2B and faces the bobbin holder 6A of the spinning winder 6. Further, a pusher 2E is provided on the support column 2B, so that the bobbin of the package inserted into the air chunk shaft 2D can be pushed out. Further, the spinning winder 6 is also provided with a pusher 6B, which can push out the package P of the bobbin holder 66. That is, when the package P of any spinning winder 1116 reaches 18 hours, the automatic doffing W12 is activated by the full winding signal.
moves in front of it, and the slide table 2C advances to bring the tip of the air chuck shaft 2D and the tip of the bobbin holder 6A into contact.

Then, the pusher 6B of the spinning winder 6 is activated, and a plurality of automatic doffing devices 2 (four in the illustrated example, but 4.6.8
There are various numbers of packages P, such as 1 package P, received at one time. Then, it moves to the distribution robot at the end of the spinning factory (during movement, the air chuck shaft 2D operates to hold the package P).

Next, the package supply system having the above structure operates as follows.

In FIG. 1, an automatic doffing device 2 transports a package P and stops in front of a distribution robot 5. At this time, the air chuck shaft 12A of the distribution robot 5 is in a position facing the automatic doffing device 2. Then, the slide table 2C moves forward (operation 2) and brings the tips of the air chuck shafts 12A and 2D into contact with each other. Then, the pusher 2E operates to push out the packages P to the distribution robot 5 (operation 2).The distribution robot 5, which has received a plurality of packages P at once, operates the air chuck shaft 12A to push out the packages P to the distribution robot 5. While making sure that P does not come off, arm 12 rises (■
operation) and turn (■ operation) to face a predetermined shaft 4A of the creel stand 4.

Then, the pusher 12 is operated and one package P is mounted on the extrusion shaft 4A. Then, by raising or lowering the arm 12 and operating the pusher 12, one package P is mounted on each of the vertical shafts of the creel stand 4. Then, mounting on the next column shaft is performed by moving the creel stand 4 laterally by the pinch PL using the drive device 3.

During the distribution operation by the distribution robot 5, the automatic doffing device 2 conveys a new package P.

Note that the above explanation is based on the case where one distributing robot 5 is installed at the edge of the spinning factory, but one or more distributing robots 5 are placed at an appropriate location in the center of the spinning factory to transfer creel from the automatic doffing device. You can also mount the pancage on the stand. That is, the arrangement and number of automatic doffing devices and distribution robots may be determined so as to equalize the package manufacturing capacity of the spinning factory and the package consumption capacity of the filament processing factory.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The package supply method of the present invention includes a spinning factory and a filament processing factory arranged close to each other, an automatic doffing device that receives and conveys a plurality of packages at once from each of a large number of spinning winders in the spinning factory, and a filament processing factory. A distribution robot receives multiple packages from an automatic doffing device and loads each package onto the creel stand, and the automatic doffing device transfers the next multiple packages. The dispensing robot transfers package 1 to the creel stand before transporting package 1.
Since individual units are mounted, the cycle time of the package supply system as a whole is shortened, packages can be supplied that match the capacity of the spinning factory, and automation can be performed efficiently.
