Description

Detailed Description of the Invention Technical Field The present invention relates to a method for supplying a wrap formed by a ramp forming machine such as a ribbon wrap machine or a wrap roller, which is a preparatory step for a fine carding process, to a combing machine in a fine carding process. This relates to a supply device.

Prior art and its problems In recent years, the wraps formed by wrap forming machines have become larger due to large packaging, and the weight has increased to over 17 kg, making it difficult to handle manually. The frequency of feeding has also increased, and in response to this, many feeding devices have already been proposed to streamline the wrap conveyance work of lap forming machines and combing engines.

However, in the conventional wrap supply device disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 47-46852, the R and L tables, which are symmetrical tables of the coma machine, are arranged so that the rear lap roller portions thereof face each other. Then, several sets of hangers carrying large wraps were inserted into the approximate center of the passage provided in the two coma engines, and the door plates hinged to the hangers were manually opened to remove the racks on the hangers. The wrapper is rolled on the open door plate and fed onto the wrap roller from behind the wrap roller. Therefore, the hanger of this wrap supply device has a height of its lower surface.

1, which is slightly higher than the top surface of the wrap roller of the combing machine.
The length of the hanger and the large wrap mounted on it are lower than the worker's height as they move on the aisle, which can cause obstacles to the walking of other workers.
Alternatively, there is a drawback that it may cause a collision with a worker or the like. In addition, when transferring the wrap loaded on the hanger onto the wrap roller of the combing machine, this wrap supply device allows the door plate to be opened by manually operating a bar attached to the side of the hanger. However, in order to operate this bar, a 500 to 600 bar is required, which is enough for a worker to pass behind multiple sets of hangers that have entered the passageway for one interval.
In addition, since the hanger of this wrap supply device is a reversible type that can be used for both R and L units, a passage of about 500 to 600 mm is required before and after the hanger, and the wrap diameter is about 560 mm. In this case, the width of the passageway between the combing machines must be at least 1°6 meters. Therefore, in order to adopt the above-described wrap supply device in an existing factory, it was necessary to replace a large number of combing machines and widen the width of the road between the machines. In addition, if it is not possible to replace the comber machine due to space constraints, the worker should crawl under multiple sets of hangers that have entered the interstitial passageway and operate the bar from below to remove the door plate. The opening must be done, and this work is quite painful. Furthermore, the hanger of this wrap supply device is expensive because it has a complicated structure, including a door plate, its opening/closing device, and a reversing mechanism. The machines that supply are L to R,
Alternatively, each time the R unit is switched to the L unit, the hanger carrying the large wrap must be turned over 180 degrees, which is an extremely troublesome task, which is not necessarily satisfactory in practice.

In addition, Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-2252.8 discloses that the wraps formed by a wrap forming machine are sequentially sent onto a wrap aligning conveyor placed in front of the machine, and a plurality of wraps are stacked on the wrap aligning conveyor. A plurality of wraps aligned on the wrap alignment conveyor are arranged in a line with the same spacing as the head spacing of the combing machine, and the multiple wraps are placed in the same direction (R stand or L stand Multiple pairs of hangers that can be opened and closed are installed on a crane-type wrap transfer device installed above a large number of combing machines (one type of machine), and the multiple wraps held are A wrap supply device has been disclosed in which the wrap supply unit of a combing machine is supplied from above by traveling and raising and lowering the wrap transfer device.

However, such a lane-type wrap supply device,
It is necessary to standardize the target combing machines into one type, R or L, which operate in the same direction, and to match the wrap feeding direction of the combing machine with the rewinding direction of the supplied wrap. It was difficult to apply this method to a typical existing factory, which is arranged in an alternating manner. In addition, if the combing machine is replaced in such an existing factory and the above-mentioned wrap supply device is adopted, the coiler section, which is the delivery part of the combing machine, will be located on both sides of the road at the end of the machine. , the arrangement of the combing machine is extremely inconvenient for operation. In addition, this crane-type wrap supply device is installed by installing crane rails on the ceiling of the factory, so it may not be possible to implement it in existing factories without reinforcing the factory building. However, there was a drawback that if there were pillars or the like in the path of the crane's traveling body, the equipment could not be installed. In addition, the hanger of this wrap supply device is constructed so that it can be opened and closed by connecting a pair of hooks with hooks formed at the lower end to a power transmission mechanism and an opening/closing motor, which results in a complicated and expensive structure. Furthermore, if the hook malfunctions, the wrap may be grasped incorrectly, and for the reasons mentioned above, this crane-type wrap feeder is limited in its application to existing factories, and is not suitable for the equipment. However, this method was also unsatisfactory, as it had the disadvantage that it was virtually limited to new factories.

Furthermore, Special Publication No. 53-22175 and Special Publication No. 56-39
Publication No. 22 discloses that the wraps formed by a wrap forming machine are lifted by a wrap lifting device installed in front of the machine stand, and each piece is gripped by an open/close type wrap suspension device of a conveying device installed above the machine stand. , the wrap is transferred to the combing machine group by the rotation of the conveying device, and the wrap held by the wrap suspension device is transferred onto the retractable, openable tray of the wrap receiving and lowering device attached to each combing machine. discloses a wrap supply device intended for a one-head, one-delivery wool combing machine in which a retractable tray is opened near the lower end and the wrap is placed on a wrap roller. However, this wrap supply device requires a tray opening/closing device in addition to a tray lifting device in the lap receiving and lowering device attached to each combing machine, making the structure complicated and expensive. Also, plural (
In a wire combing machine with combing heads (6 heads or 8 heads) installed in parallel, a drafting section, a coiler section, and a gear end box are installed at both longitudinal ends of the machine. It is extremely difficult to attach the above-mentioned wrap receiving and lowering device to the sides of the wrap rollers at both ends, and the above-mentioned wrap supplying device that requires such a wrap receiving and lowering device cannot be used as is in the cotton combing machine. could not be applied.

Outline and Purpose The present invention was devised as a result of various studies in view of the current state of wrap feeding devices in the fine carding process as described above. ,
A conveyance rail extending above the wrap roller section or spare creel of each combing machine is constructed above the machine base, and a suitable number of sets are conveyed by suspending horizontal peg conveyors from the conveyor rail at predetermined intervals. An appropriate wrap loading means is provided on the wrap forming machine side, which suspends the conveyor chain so that it can run and loads the wrap onto the pegs of this conveyor chain, and transports the part corresponding to the lap roller section or preliminary creel of each combing machine. A lifting device is connected to each rail, and the multiple wraps that have been loaded onto the pegs of the transporter on the wrap forming machine side and transferred are lifted and lowered by the transport rail and moved in the longitudinal direction of the transporter, allowing the wraps of the combing machine to be lifted. It is characterized by being fed onto rollers or a spare creel, and does not require modification or troublesome replacement work of lap forming machines and combing machines, nor building reinforcement work, resulting in low equipment and construction costs. The present invention provides a practical wrap supply device for a combing machine that can be easily implemented even in an existing factory, can efficiently supply wraps from a lap forming machine to a combing machine, and eliminates the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional technology. That is.

Next, the operation of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained. In the wrap forming machine 1, every time a wrap 4 is formed in the wrap winding section 2, a tube changing device (not shown) is operated to doff the wrap 4 onto the contact 3a of the wrap alignment device 3 in front. do.

The wrap alignment device 3 is configured such that each time a wrap 4 is doffed onto the conveyor 3a, the conveyor 3a intermittently circulates in the direction of arrow B to a predetermined amount P to sequentially place the doffed wraps 4 on the other side (first side). After doffing, move to the right side of Figure 3) and wrap multiple pieces (the illustrated example shows a case of 6 pieces) of wraps 4 to wrap alignment device 3.
are lined up in a line with a predetermined interval P on the conveyor 3a. A predetermined number of pieces (
When the wraps 4 (six in the illustrated example) are aligned, the transport rail 7a above and the empty transport tool group 30 that has been waiting on the transport rail 7a are moved to the air cylinder 1 of the lifting device 18.
7A and 17B are lowered all at once from the raised position shown by the solid line in FIG. It corresponds to the axial center of the hollow core tube of each wrap 4. Next, the motor 35 of the moving device 32 disposed on the conveyor rail 7a rotates in the forward direction to rotate the rotating disk 3 of the device 32.
6 and 40 rotate normally, the conveyor chain 30 in the lowered position moves to the third position.
Moving a certain amount to the left in FIG. 3 from the position indicated by the imaginary line in the figure, the pegs 27 of the carrier chain 30 are simultaneously inserted into the hollow core tube of each wrap 4 on the conveyor 3a. When the pegs 27 of the conveyor chain 30 are inserted into each lap 4 on the conveyor 3a and the motor 35 of the moving device 32 is stopped, the lifting device 18
Due to the protrusion of the air cylinders 17A and 17B, the conveyance rail 7a and the conveyor group 30 return from the lowered position to the raised position, and each wrap 4 on the conveyor 3a is suspended by each peg 27 of the conveyor group 30 and all at once. The transport rail 7a is again connected to the fixed portion of the main transport rail 7, and the loading of the wraps 4 on the wrap forming machine side is completed.

On the other hand, a large number of combing machines 5A and 5B that supply the wrap 4 formed by the wrap forming machine 1 perform lap replacement.
The taper is set in advance so that the machines on one side of the parallel combing machine perform the process sequentially with an appropriate time difference, and when one of these combing machines is about to replace the wrap, it starts wrapping. When a replacement preparation command is issued, the corresponding branch transport rail 9 is connected to the main transport rail 7 via the switching device 1o, and the main transport rail 7 and the branch transport rail connected to the rail 7 are connected in accordance with the command. The rotating disks 36 and 4 degrees of each moving device 32 arranged on the moving device 9 are rotated in the forward direction all at once via the motor 35. Note that the branch conveyance rails 9 on other combing machines to which the wrap replacement preparation command has not been sent are separated from the main conveyance rail 7 via the respective switching devices 10. Therefore, the conveyor group 30 loaded with wraps 4 for one combing machine on the wrap forming machine side is moved to the main conveyor rail 7.
By normal rotation of the rotating disks 36 and 40 of each moving device 32 on the branch conveyance rail 9 connected to the main conveyance rail 7,
It starts from the lap forming machine side, moves on the main conveyance rail 7 toward the combing machine side, enters the connected branch conveyance rail 9, passes above the R combing machine 5A, and then moves to the combing machine side.
It is sent above the combing machine 5B. When the conveyor group 30 loaded with wraps 4 is sent above the combing machine 5B, which is about to change the wraps, the motor 35 of the moving device 32 is stopped via an appropriate stop position detection means (not shown), and the conveyor Each of the wraps 4 for one car, which has been conveyed with the series 30 stopped at a predetermined appropriate position, respectively corresponds to the wrap roller 3 of each head of the combing machine 5B. The combing machine 5B feeds the wrap 4 for one car above the wrap roller section 8.

When the wrap in progress is used up and the machine is stopped, the empty tube 43 remaining on the wrap rollers 31, 31 is removed manually or the like. Wrap roller 31. Empty tube 4 from above 31
3 is removed, the transport rail 9a above the wrap roller 31.31 and the transport tool chain 3 suspending the wrap 4
As the air cylinders 21A and 21B of the lifting device 22 are retracted, the carriers 30 are lowered all at once from the raised position shown by the solid line in FIGS. 5 and 6 to the lowered position shown by the imaginary line.
One set of wraps 4 suspended from each peg 27 is placed on the wrap rollers 31, 31 of each head of the combing machine 5B all at once. Also, wrap 4 onto the wrap roller 31.31.
The pegs 27 on which each wrap 4 was suspended
When the wraps 4 leave the inner surface of the hollow core tube placed on the wrap rollers 31, 31 and reach the lowered position, the motor 35 of the moving device 32 arranged on the conveyor rail 9a reverses and its rotation circle Due to the reversal of Fi, 36 and 40, the conveyor group 30 in the lowered position moves a certain amount to the right in FIG.
Remove the hollow core tube from the upper wrap 4. When the peg 27 is pulled out from the wrap 4 of the wrap roller 31.31-F and the motor 35 of the moving device 32 stops, the air cylinders 21A and 21B of the lifting device 22 protrude and the transport rail 9
a and the conveyor chain 30 return from the lowered position to the raised position again, and the conveyor rail 9a is again connected to the fixed portion of the branch conveyor rail 9. On the other hand, the combing machine 5B, which has been supplied with the new wrap 4 on the wrap roller 31.3I, manually joins the old and new wraps together and restarts its operation.

Furthermore, when the conveyor rail 9a and the conveyor group 3o return to the two-up position, the empty tubes 43 discharged from the combing machine 5B are inserted into each peg 27 of the conveyor group 3o, and then,
When the motor 35 of each moving device 32 arranged on the corresponding branch conveying rail 9 and main conveying rail 7 is reversed, and the rotary disks 36 and 40 of the device 32 are reversely rotated, the conveying device series loaded with empty tubes 43 is rotated. 30 moves the branch conveyance rail 9 and the main conveyance rail 7'2 in the opposite direction to the direction in which the wrap is supplied and returns above the lap alignment device 3 on the lap forming machine side. When the conveyor train 30 returns above the lap alignment device 3, the empty tube 43 is removed from the peg 27 of the conveyor train 30, and the empty tube 43 is appropriately supplied to the empty tube supply device (not shown) of the lap forming machine 1. do.

In this way, even while the conveyor chain 30 is reciprocating above the lap aligning device 3 and above the combing machine, the lap forming machine 1
At , wraps are formed, and the formed wraps are sequentially doffed onto the conveyor 3a of the wrap alignment device 3 in front, and when the wraps 4 for one combing machine are aligned on this conveyor 3a, Similarly, the aligned wraps 4 for one combing machine are loaded onto the conveying device 30 and conveyed to the next combing machine 5A side, where the wrap rollers 31.3
Thereafter, the connection between the main conveyance rail 7 and the branch conveyance rail 9 is sequentially switched via the switching device 10, and lap supply to the other combing machines 5B and 5A is performed sequentially.

In the above embodiment, the lap aligning device 3 is provided in front of the lap forming machine 1, and the conveyor 3 of the lap aligning device 3 is arranged in front of the lap forming machine 1.
Since the wrap 4 doffed from the wrap forming machine 1 can be temporarily stored on the top of the wrap forming machine 1, even if there is only one set of conveying tools 30.

The present invention is not limited to this, but the main conveyance rail 7

It may be moved intermittently, and the pegs 27 of the carrier group 30 are inserted into the hollow core tubes of the wraps 4 that have been raised by the lifter, so that the carrier group 30 is loaded with one wrap 4. Further, in the above embodiment, the wrap 4 conveyed from the wrap forming machine side was directly supplied onto the wrap roller 31.31 of the combing machine, but an existing machine equipped with a preliminary creel behind the wrap roller 31.31 is also used. When the present invention is applied to a combing machine in a factory, the wrap conveyed from the lap forming machine may be supplied onto a preliminary creel of the combing machine. Furthermore, in the embodiment, on one main conveyance rail 7 that connects the lap forming machine 1 and a large number of combing machines, R and L combing machines 5 are installed oppositely.
Since the branch conveyance rails 9 passing above A and 5B are connected, each device is simplified and equipment costs can be reduced, but the present invention is not limited to this. The conveyance rail may be of any type as long as it can supply the wrap conveyed from the lap forming machine to each combing machine in a predetermined unwinding direction. Although the above embodiment has been described with respect to the case where R and L combing machines are installed side by side, it is also applicable to the case where combing machines are installed in the same direction. Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the conveyor group is driven by a rotating disk-type moving device [32] disposed on the conveyor rail, but this moving device of the conveyor group can be moved by a known moving device such as a battery car. This can also be carried out by other means, and this moving device may be omitted and the conveyor group may be moved manually. Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, wraps for one combing machine are loaded and transported on the conveyor chain, but it is also possible to load and transport wraps for half a combing machine. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a case was explained in which one lap forming machine and a number of combing machines were combined into one group. It is also possible to make it possible for carriers arranged within a group to be able to board each other.
