BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a weaving factory, particularly the layout of a track for a yarn feeder conveyor in a weaving factory.

0002

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A weaving factory includes a loom room in which a plurality of rows of looms are arranged, a preparation room for a yarn feeder to be supplied to the looms,
A track extending through the preparation room and along each row of looms in the loom room is provided for a transport vehicle that transports the yarn supply body.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional loom factory, when there is a request from the loom, the yarn feeder is loaded onto a carrier in the preparation room, and the carrier is fed to the loom via the track. Transports the thread body. By the way, if a plurality of transport vehicles loaded with yarn feeders are kept on standby on the tracks outside and outside the preparation room, when a loom requests replenishment of yarn feeders, the transport vehicles can be immediately directed toward the loom. can be sent out. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time from the request for replenishment of the yarn feeder from a loom to the supply of the yarn feeder to the loom, and reduce the time when the loom is stopped, thereby improving weaving efficiency. Can be done. However, such a method of keeping a transport vehicle equipped with a yarn supplying body on standby cannot be applied when yarn supplying bodies having different yarn types such as colors and textures are used. This is because the yarn feeder of the type of yarn desired by the loom is not necessarily mounted on the leading transport vehicle. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to shorten the time from a request for replenishment of a yarn supplying body from a loom to supplying a suitable yarn supplying body to the loom when yarn supplying bodies of different yarn types are used. .

[Means for Solving the Problems] A weaving factory according to the present invention includes a loom room in which a plurality of rows of looms are arranged, a preparation room for a yarn feeder to be supplied to the loom, and a transport vehicle for the yarn feeder. a first line section that is a main line and a sub-line for and extends through the preparation room, and a second line section that is connected to the first line section and extends along each loom row in the loom room. It includes a main line consisting of a main line and a closed loop sub line connected to the main line. The sub-line may be continuous with both the first line portion and the second line portion.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in the preparatory room, a plurality of conveyance vehicles on which yarn feeders of a plurality of yarn types are mounted are moved from the main line to the sub-line, and on the sub-line in a closed loop, These can be cycled or stopped and put on standby. Therefore, when there is a request for replenishment of the yarn feeder from the loom, it is possible to selectively send out a carrier that meets the replenishment request to the second line portion of the main line while circulating the sub-line. For this reason, compared to the case where the yarn feeder is loaded onto a transport vehicle in the preparation room after waiting for a yarn feeder replenishment request and then sent out, it is possible to supply the yarn feeder to the loom after the yarn feeder replenishment request is made. The work can be done in a short time, thereby shortening the downtime of the loom and improving weaving efficiency. Needless to say, the present invention can also be applied to yarn feeders of a single yarn type.

[0006] When the sub-line is connected to both the first line section and the second line section, each second line section is connected to the first line section and the second line section.
It is possible to further shorten the time for supplying the yarn feeder to the line section.

[Example] Referring to FIG. 1, a weaving factory 1 according to the present invention
0 is shown schematically. The weaving factory 10 has a loom room 1
2, a preparation room 14 arranged in the loom room 12 for preparing and storing yarn feeders to be supplied to the loom (described below), a main line 16 for a conveyance vehicle (described later) that circulates around the loom room 12 and the preparation room 14, and a main line. 16 and a closed loop sub line 18 connected to the line 16.

A plurality of rows (eight rows in the illustrated example) of looms 20 are arranged in the loom room 12. Considering weaving efficiency,
Two adjacent rows of looms 20 are oriented in opposite directions, ie, in one and the other of the lateral directions indicated by one vertex of the triangle 22 shown.

The preparation room 14 has the function of storing the yarn feeder 24 supplied to the loom 20 as well as the bobbin 26 collected from the loom 20. The yarn supply body 24 and the bobbin 26 are
The preparation room 14 is moved by a transport vehicle 28 along the main track 16.
from there to each loom 20 and from each loom 20 to the preparation room 14.

In the illustrated example, the main track 16 and the sub-track 18 for the transport vehicle 28 consist of rails arranged on the ceiling of the weaving factory 10, and the transport vehicle 28 is suspended from the rails. It consists of a doffer that is movable along the rail and capable of gripping the yarn supplying body.

The main line 16 includes a first line section 30 that extends through the preparation room 14 and a second line section 32 that is continuous with the first line section 30 and extends along each row of looms in the loom room 12. Become.

More specifically, the first line section 30 is shown in FIG.
Looking at it, there is a track section 3 that passes through the preparation room 14 and extends laterally.
4, a line portion 36 extending longitudinally from one end of the line portion 34 and connected to the second line portion 32 at one end thereof, and the other end of the second line portion 32 extending longitudinally from the other end of the line portion 34. It consists of a track section 38 that continues on the side. A delivery mechanism 40 for the yarn supply body 24 and a delivery mechanism 42 for the bobbin 26 are provided below one end and the other end of the line portion 34 extending within the preparation chamber 14 . The transport vehicle 28 that moves in the direction of the arrow in the preparation room 14 stops at each delivery mechanism to deliver the bobbin 26 collected from the loom 20 and also to transfer one of the plural yarn types used in each loom 20. Yarn supply bodies 24 of yarn types are selectively mounted.

Each of the second line sections 32 has a crank shape as a whole, except for the rightmost one that has an overall L shape, and at one end and the other end, the adjacent left and right second line sections 32 connected to one end and the other end. The transport vehicle 28 is
Each second line section 32 can be moved in the direction of the arrow from one end to the other end. The two round marks 44 on the sides of each loom 20 shown on each second track section 32 are as follows:
It shows the position at which the transport vehicle 28 for supplying yarn feeders of two types of yarn should stop.

In the illustrated example, the sub-line 18 has an overall rectangular shape, and one short side of the rectangle is common to a part of the line portion 36 of the first line portion 30. The sub-line 18 further shares one end of each second line portion 32 at one long side of the rectangle. Therefore, it can be said that the sub-line 18 is continuous with both the first line section 30 and the second line section 32.

A plurality of transport vehicles 28 carrying yarn feeders of different yarn types required by the loom 20 are sequentially moved to the first track section 1.
It is sent to the sub-line 18 via the line section 36 of 6. The transport vehicle sent to the sub-line 18 circulates through the sub-line 18 and waits there until there is a request from the loom 20 to supply the yarn feeder. By circulating the conveyance vehicle 28 in the closed loop, that is, the sub-line 18, at any point on the sub-line 18, a conveyance vehicle 28 equipped with a yarn feeder that matches the yarn type required by the loom 20 is selected. can be sent from the sub-line 18 to the second line section 32.

In the example of FIG. 1, as described above, the second line sections 32 are connected in parallel, and the carrier 28 directs each second line section 32 in one direction, that is, from the upper end to the lower end in the figure. Can be moved.

On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the second line section 48 that constitutes the main line 16 together with the first line section 46 extends along each loom row and is connected to each other in series, so that the conveyance The wheel 28 can be moved sequentially along both adjacent loom rows in one direction and the other. Both ends of the first line section 46, which has an inverted U shape, are connected to one end and the other end of a second line section 48, respectively. The other points of the first line section 46 are similar to the first line section 30 shown in FIG. stay.

The sub-line 18 shown in FIG. 2 has a circular shape as a whole and is in contact with the first line portion 46. In this example as well,
A plurality of carrier vehicles 28 circulate on the sub-track 18 and can wait there until a replenishment request is received from the loom 20. The carrier vehicle 18 on the sub-track 18 can move to the second track section 48 via the first track section 46 . Needless to say, the sub-line may have a closed loop shape and is not limited to the rectangular or circular shape described above. Further, the yarn supplying body may be made of a single type of yarn.
