- the present invention concerns a disintegrator roll housing, whereby an insert is placed in an area, following the feed entry of the band as seen in the direction of rotation of the disintegrating drive shaft and further concerns a procedure for the modernization of an open-end spinning apparatus, whereby an insert of the disintegrator roll housing can be removed and subsequently replaced.
- Disintegrator roll housings are known in multitudinous designs within the state of the technology, including the spinning units SE7, SE8 and SE9 of a rotor based spinning machine “Autocoro” of W. Schlafhorst AG & Co., 41061 Mönchengladbach, DE.
- the disintegrator roll housings of these spinning units consist essentially of individual segments, which are placed on a carrier plate.

- This type of construction of a disintegrator roll housing brings with it the disadvantage that, following the entry of the fiber band by a suction condition, which suction extends itself from the housing of the rotor to that of the disintegrator, a large volume of air is pulled in.

- This apparatus has, however, the general disadvantage that, in reference to the actually required air, excessive air is continually fed into the disintegrator roll housing.

- An unpublished application DE 102 24 589.4 describes a disintegrator roll housing, wherein the circumferentially disposed wall of the disintegrator roll housing is formed by an exchangeable insert placed between the contamination separation inlet and the exit opening for fibers.

- the disintegrator roll housings in accord with the state of the technology have the disadvantage that the contamination separation can vary as to quantity, however, the known inserts are not designed to bring about a conformation of the disintegrator roll housings to the varying loads. The result of this is that the known disintegrator roll housings cannot be made to suit different fiber materials and other spinning conditions.
- the zone of the contamination separation is not designed, so that the disintegrator rolls are covered, particularly about their edges.
- the size of the contamination separation openings can be changed only insufficiently to meet optimal requirements, and especially the location of the openings in relation to the fiber feed (feed opening in the disintegrator roll housing) cannot be altered.

- the present purpose in accord with the invention, is to be achieved by a disintegrator roll housing having an insert extending itself up to the area of the contaminant separation opening of the disintegrator roll housing. Further, when seen in the axial direction, in relation to the disintegrating roll, the insert forms at least partially the circumferential wall of the disintegrator roll housing in the area of the contamination separation opening.
- the disintegrator roll housing can be designed, so that, in accord with the invention, the input of air into the disintegrator roll housing can be better controlled and further, the position of the inlet on the disintegrator roll housing where the air intake takes place is similarly optimized. Likewise, the air content within the disintegrator roll housing can be essentially improved with the control and positioning.
- An additional advantage arises in that, with the aid of the invention, existing slots between the disintegrator roll housing and the associated rolls, even in the area of the contamination separation inlet, can be blocked, so that an agglomeration of fibers at the slots can be avoided.
- the invented insert has the advantage of fulfilling the function of the circumferential wall of the disintegrator roll housing, especially in the area of the contamination separation inlet, so that, even here, the edges of the disintegrator roll are covered.

- the insert incorporates the contaminant separation opening, whereby even the area following the contaminant separation opening (“after” as seen in the direction of the motion of the fibers) can be located on the insert itself.
- This enables that even this area, for example, in the form of coatings or other geometrical formations can be optimally adapted to various spinning conditions.
- the area after the contamination separation suffers high abrasion, due to many types of fibers, so that an abrasive wear in this area need not lead to a situation in which the entire disintegration roll housing needs to be replaced.

Abstract
An exchangeable insert is proposed as auxiliary equipment for a housing of a disintegrating apparatus of an open-end spinning apparatus. The insert is adaptable, so that the disintegrator roll housing can be made to conform to various spinning conditions. In a partial zone, in accord with this proposition, the insert replaces a circumferential wall of the disintegrator roll housing, wherein the insert extends itself into to a zone of a contamination separation opening of the disintegrator roll housing. Its extension in the axial direction is so chosen, that it, at least partially, forms a portion of the circumferential wall of the disintegrator in the area of the contamination separation opening.
Description
- The present invention concerns a disintegrator roll housing, whereby an insert is placed in an area, following the feed entry of the band as seen in the direction of rotation of the disintegrating drive shaft and further concerns a procedure for the modernization of an open-end spinning apparatus, whereby an insert of the disintegrator roll housing can be removed and subsequently replaced.
- Disintegrator roll housings are known in multitudinous designs within the state of the technology, including the spinning units SE7, SE8 and SE9 of a rotor based spinning machine “Autocoro” of W. Schlafhorst AG & Co., 41061 Mönchengladbach, DE. The disintegrator roll housings of these spinning units consist essentially of individual segments, which are placed on a carrier plate. The individual segments, which are set on this carrier plate, thus form the circumferential wall of the distintegrator housing, particularly in the zone between the fiber band feed equipment and the contamination separation opening of the disintegrator roll housing.
- This type of construction of a disintegrator roll housing brings with it the disadvantage that, following the entry of the fiber band by a suction condition, which suction extends itself from the housing of the rotor to that of the disintegrator, a large volume of air is pulled in. That air, which is induced particularly in the area of the contamination separation opening, can only be controlled as to quantity by regulation of the suction of the spinning chamber. This apparatus has, however, the general disadvantage that, in reference to the actually required air, excessive air is continually fed into the disintegrator roll housing. The result of this is that the incoming air itself can lead to difficulties within the disintegrator roll housing. Large cross-sectional openings in the area of the air flow entering the disintegrator roll housing do not yield optimal contamination combing-out and removal conditions. Such excess air leads, for example, to entrained particle dissipation, since the air exits from the disintegrator roll housing in an uncontrolled manner and carries with it fibers, which aggregate in the area of the spinning machine. This action results in disturbances in the operation of the machine.
- An unpublished application DE 102 24 589.4 describes a disintegrator roll housing, wherein the circumferentially disposed wall of the disintegrator roll housing is formed by an exchangeable insert placed between the contamination separation inlet and the exit opening for fibers. Thereby, it is intended that the contamination removal can be effected and made adaptable to various fibers. The disintegrator roll housings in accord with the state of the technology have the disadvantage that the contamination separation can vary as to quantity, however, the known inserts are not designed to bring about a conformation of the disintegrator roll housings to the varying loads. The result of this is that the known disintegrator roll housings cannot be made to suit different fiber materials and other spinning conditions. Further, with the conventional segments, the zone of the contamination separation is not designed, so that the disintegrator rolls are covered, particularly about their edges. Moreover, the size of the contamination separation openings can be changed only insufficiently to meet optimal requirements, and especially the location of the openings in relation to the fiber feed (feed opening in the disintegrator roll housing) cannot be altered.
- Thus, a principal purpose of the present invention is to propose a disintegrator roll housing, which avoids the disadvantages of the state of the technology, as well as to propose an insert, which has the capability of adjusting the disintegrator roll housing during the operation of the disintegrator under different spinning conditions. A further purpose of the present invention is to propose a procedure to modernize the open-end spinning apparatuses, which now adhere to the state of the technology. Various features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the following description, or may be obvious from the description, or may be learned through practice of the invention.
- The present purpose, in accord with the invention, is to be achieved by a disintegrator roll housing having an insert extending itself up to the area of the contaminant separation opening of the disintegrator roll housing. Further, when seen in the axial direction, in relation to the disintegrating roll, the insert forms at least partially the circumferential wall of the disintegrator roll housing in the area of the contamination separation opening. By the use of an invented insert, a disintegrator roll housing, in a simple way, can be made to accommodate itself to various spinning conditions. Further, a disintegrator roll housing now in accord with the state of the technology can be modernized by means of the procedure of the invented procedure.
- The achievement of the invention is such that, the disintegrator roll housing can be designed, so that, in accord with the invention, the input of air into the disintegrator roll housing can be better controlled and further, the position of the inlet on the disintegrator roll housing where the air intake takes place is similarly optimized. Likewise, the air content within the disintegrator roll housing can be essentially improved with the control and positioning. An additional advantage arises in that, with the aid of the invention, existing slots between the disintegrator roll housing and the associated rolls, even in the area of the contamination separation inlet, can be blocked, so that an agglomeration of fibers at the slots can be avoided.
- The invented insert has the advantage of fulfilling the function of the circumferential wall of the disintegrator roll housing, especially in the area of the contamination separation inlet, so that, even here, the edges of the disintegrator roll are covered. As to the circumferential wall of the disintegrator roll housing, only the part of the disintegrating roll is exposed, which is equipped with a processing surface. Advantageously, the disintegrator roll housing, following (in the direction of rotation of the disintegrator shaft) the contamination separation opening, possesses an abutment for the insert, so that the insert can be positioned in that area, where it comes into contact with the remaining components of the disintegrator roll housing.
- In a particularly advantageous design, the disintegrator roll housing possesses a lateral limitation in the area of the contamination separation inlet, while the oppositely situated limitation of the contamination separation inlet is constructed at the insert. In this way, it becomes possible to exchange the insert, or to reset it anew, in the disintegrator roll housing, particularly in the axial direction of the roll. This permits an advantageous opening between the insert and the disintegrator roll housing.
- The lengthening of the combing-out zone for the fiber band is advantageously achieved by a design of the fiber band support at the insert, whereby a joining of the fiber band feed to the disintegrator roll housing is carried out. Thereby, upon the disintegration of the fiber band, the quantity of contaminant is separated, and fiber is improved in its quality, that is to say, that fewer good fibers (in excess of 10 mm) are expelled, while the ejection of lighter contaminant is not adversely affected.
- By the diminishing of the cross-sectional opening of the air intake at the suction point in the area of the contaminant separation, the velocity of the airflow is increased, which leads to a corresponding diminishing of the loss of good fibers. In this way, it is possible to disintegrate even fiber bands comprised of reclaimed material, which possess a high short fiber content and to work the corresponding fibers into yarns of high quality value.
- By means of the invented design of the insert with at least one forked projection arrangement, the achievement attained is that, the circumferential wall of the disintegrator roll housing in the area of the contaminant separation opening can be constructed with the aid of the invented insert. By the formation of the forked insert, at the same time, the size of the contaminant separation agrees exactly in its width with the width of the active surface of the disintegration roll. In this way, the insert can possess two forklike projections, so that the left and the right limitation of the contaminant separation opening is formed by the insert.
- In an additional advantageous design of the invention, the insert incorporates the contaminant separation opening, whereby even the area following the contaminant separation opening (“after” as seen in the direction of the motion of the fibers) can be located on the insert itself. This enables that even this area, for example, in the form of coatings or other geometrical formations can be optimally adapted to various spinning conditions. The area after the contamination separation suffers high abrasion, due to many types of fibers, so that an abrasive wear in this area need not lead to a situation in which the entire disintegration roll housing needs to be replaced. In accord with the invention, it would be sufficient simply to make a replacement with a new insert into the disintegrator roll housing.
- In an especially advantageous development of the invention, the insert possesses rounded off edges in the area of the air inlet at the contamination separation opening, in order that the flow of incoming air, which occurs in this area, is assured of undisturbed flow in the greatest possible manner. It is particularly advantageous, if the insert is placed on the disintegrator roll housing with a capability of being exchanged, especially where fastening means are concerned.
- The fastening means, for example, are in the form of bolt borings or the like. By means of the design, wherein the insert in the area of the contamination separation covers the edges of the disintegrator roll, the advantageous achievement is, that no fibers can migrate in this area too far outside of the surface prepared roll. In the case of a favorable formation, the forklike projections impinge on an abutment, whereby they lie on the disintegrator roll housing. In this way, an exact positioning of the insert is possible.
- An achievement of the invented procedure is that an open-end spinning apparatus conforming to the state of the technology can be reworked in such a manner, so that the apparatus can be modernized Thereby, in the area of the contaminant separation, the open-end spinning apparatus possesses a controllable air inflow, as it does in the area following the feed of the fiber band. Simultaneously, it is possible to bring about positive effects on the quantity of the contaminant separation where the circumferential wall of the disintegrator roll housing is concerned, both before and after the contamination separation opening. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the subordinate claims or alternate independent claims.
- The present invention is more completely explained with the aid of drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a sectional presentation in profile of an invented disintegrator roll housing having an inset in accord with the invention; -
FIG. 2 shows a top view of the insert ofFIG. 1 and; -
FIG. 3 shows a top view of an alternatively formed insert in accord with the invention. - Reference will now be made in detail to the presently preferred embodiments of the invention, one or more examples of which are shown in the figures. Each example is provided to explain the invention, and not as a limitation of the invention. In fact, features illustrated or described as part of one embodiment can be used with another embodiment to yield still a further embodiment. It is intended that the present invention cover such modifications and variations.
- The sectional view of
FIG. 1 illustrates a profile view of the invented disintegrator roll housing with an invented insert, wherein the disintegrator roll is absent from its casing. For the mounting of the disintegrator roll, thedisintegrator roll housing 1 has around opening 14, through which passes, in operational conditions, a shaft, upon which the disintegrator roll is fastened. Thedisintegrator roll housing 1 has afeed opening 2 through which the fiber band (not shown) to be disintegrated is transported into thedisintegrator casing 1 with the help of a feedingshaft 15. The feedingshaft 15 operates in a conventional manner, coactively functioning with a chargingtrough 16. The chargingtrough 16 confines the fiber band between itself and thefeed shaft 15 by means ofelastic elements 17, so that between the fiber band and the feed shaft no slippage occurs and the fiber band can be controllably fed into thedisintegrator roll housing 1. - For the lateral guidance of the fiber band in the area of the charging
trough 16, thistrough 16 possesses two limiting sides, through which the fiber band is guided in the area of the chargingtrough 16, as seen in the axial direction of thefeed shaft 15. The direction of rotation of the disintegrator roll is designated by the arrow P. After the area of the limiting sides, the chargingtrough 16 connects to a still anotherfiber band support 162, which, in this area likewise forms a part of thecircumferential wall 11 of thedisintegrator roll housing 1. As seen in the direction of rotation P, following the chargingtrough 16, the inventedinsert 5 is connected, which will be discussed later. In accord with each formation of the chargingtrough 16, it is possible, at least partially, that theinsert 5 can also include thefiber band support 162. - After the
insert 5, in the circumferential direction of the arrow P, thedisintegrator roll housing 1 has in addition acircumferential wall 11, which finally transforms into anexit opening 3, through which, in a known manner, the disengaged fibers are ejected from thedisintegrator roll housing 1, wherein the fibers are conducted to spinning mechanism, for example, an open-end spinning apparatus. Theexit opening 3 connects into afiber feed conduit 31. Following theexit opening 3, as seen in the direction of rotation P of the disintegrator roll, thedisintegrator roll housing 1 is equipped with thecircumferential wall 11, which extends as far as theband feed opening 2. - The
insert 5, which is located between the chargingtrough 16 and anabutment 41 of thedisintegrator roll housing 1, is exchangeably attached onto theside wall 18 of thedisintegrator roll housing 1 by fasteners 6, which may be bolts or through-pins. In the area between the chargingtrough 16 andinsert 5, there is to be found a small streamlined slot in thecircumferential wall 11 of thedisintegrator roll housing 1, the cross-section of which is regulated by the necessary moveability of the chargingtrough 16. - A
contaminant separation opening 4 extends itself, as seen circumferentially, between thecontamination separation wall 42 and the limitingwall 43. This extent is indicated by thelines 44. Between the two (separate)lines 44, which represent the length of thecontamination separation wall 42 as well as that of the limitingwall 43, theinsert 5 possesses thelateral border 12, which limits the extent of thecontamination separation opening 4 in the axial direction, back to theside wall 18. Between theside limitation 12 and the opposite limitation 13 (seeFIG. 2 ) as well as between thelines 44, is to be found thecontamination separation opening 4. - Thus, the
contamination separation opening 4, in the embodiment ofFIG. 1 , is designed as an opening in theinsert 5, since theinsert 5, both in its circumferential direction as well as in its axial direction, extends itself beyond thecontamination separation opening 4 and, to a certain extent, also comprises part of thecircumferential wall 11 of thedisintegrator roll housing 1. In the direction of the arrow P, and after thecontamination separation opening 4, theinsert 5 possesses acontact surface 53, which, in the embodiment shown inFIGS. 1, 2 , is not interrupted in the axial direction. Thiscontact surface 53 strikes theabutment 41 of thedisintegrator roll housing 1. - Upon an exchange of the
insert 5, it is also possible that a determination can be made of both the size of thecontamination separation opening 4 as well as its position in the circumferential direction of thecircumferential wall 11 of thedisintegrator roll housing 1, since thecontamination separation opening 4 is an integral component of theinsert 5. Principally, because the formation of thedisintegrator roll housing 1, that is to say, itscircumferential wall 11, determines the beginning of theinsert 5 in the area of the chargingtrough 16, the length of the insert in the circumferential direction finds it limit at theabutment 41 of thecircumferential wall 11 of thedisintegrator roll housing 1. Between these two points, the position of thecontamination separation opening 4, as well as its size can be practically optionally determined, that is, made to conform to the existing requirements of spinning-technology. -
FIG. 2 shows a top view of theinsert 5 ofFIG. 1 in a view marked by arrow D ofFIG. 1 . When seen in axial direction, it is obvious fromFIG. 2 , that theinsert 5 possesses both thelateral limitation 12 as well as theopposite limitation 13 of thecontamination separation opening 4. Consideration can also be given to the fact, that the onelateral limitation 12 could be a part of the side wall 18 (seeFIG. 1 ) of thedisintegrator roll housing 1. A formation of this kind, however, would sharply restrict the flexibility of theinsert 5. - The
lateral limitations contamination separation opening 4 form together a part of thecircumferential wall 11 of thedisintegrator roll housing 1. With this arrangement, even in the position of thecontamination separation opening 4, the edge of the disintegrating roll is covered by thecircumferential wall 11. Thereby, only the circumference of the disintegrator roll, which is supplied with an operative surface, lies opposite to thecontamination separation opening 4. In this manner, an improved air inlet in the area of thecontamination separation opening 4 is attained, so that contamination can be better separated out and the area of the edge of the disintegrator roll can be kept free of fiber accumulations. - In
FIG. 2 , a presentation of the fastening means 6 is presented in dotted lines. Theinsert 5 can be secured to theside wall 18 of thedisintegrator roll housing 1 with the aid of these fastening elements 6. On the left side of the insert, as shown inFIG. 2 , can be seen thecontact surface 53 as well as the outside of thecontamination separation wall 42. The limitingwall 43 is designated as an invisible edge by the use of the dottedlines 431.FIG. 2 further makes plain, that the location of thecontamination separation opening 4 is more or less freely chosen on theinsert 5. Likewise, the length of thecontamination separation opening 4 in its circumferential direction is more or less freely chosen. -
FIG. 3 shows a top view similar toFIG. 2 of an insert in accord with the invention, whereby, however, theinsert 5 does not encompass thecontamination separation 4 from all sides. The lateral limitations of thecontamination separation 4 take from theinsert 5 ofFIG. 3 twoforklike extensions 51, which carry on their ends contact surfaces 53, with which theinsert 5 strikes on the abutment 41 (seeFIG. 1 ) of thecircumferential wall 11. The fastening (not shown) of theinsert 5 ofFIG. 3 is carried out in the same manner as ininsert 5 ofFIGS. 1 and 2 . - With the embodiment of the
insert 5 shown inFIG. 3 , the size of the contaminant separation opening is likewise determined. However, its exact position, in particular its position in the circumferential direction, is not exactly optional, since the one limitation of thecontaminant separation opening 4 is fixed by means of theabutment 41 of thecircumferential wall 11 of thedisintegrator roll housing 1. In many insert cases, however, the residual advantages of the formation of the inventedinsert 5 in accord withFIG. 3 are fully sufficient, and permit an advantageous suitability and shaping of thecontaminant separation opening 4 of thedisintegrator roll housing 1. Especially where the modernization of the disintegration apparatuses of the machines of the state of the technology is concerned, this embodiment permits a favorable cost and rapid modernization even on machines, which cannot tolerate a stillstand of long duration. In that case, the segment, which forms the circumferential wall of thedisintegrator roll housing 1 between thefiber feed opening 2 and thecontaminant separation opening 4 is removed and replaced by theinsert 5. - In order that the intake flow of air in the area of the
contaminant separation opening 4 can be held free of turbulence, theedges 52 of theprojections 51 of theinsert 5 are designed to be rounded off. This formation is also advantageous when applied to theinsert 5 in accord withFIG. 2 . - It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the scope of the invention. It is intended that the present invention include such modifications and variations as come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
