- the present invention relates to a technique for a method and device for unwinding a yarn from a package, in which a friction roller is contacted with a peripheral surface of the package to rotate the package, while unwinding the yarn from the package so that the yarn is unwound in the radial direction of the package.

- the contact pressure acting on the higher yarn layer portions may collapse the yarn layers constituting the higher yarn layer portions. This may disturb the vertical arrangement of the overlapping yarn layers in the traversed yarn to be unwound, thus collapsing the yarn layer, or may cause latching in which the vertical relationship among the yarn layers in the yarn to be unwound is reversed. In portions in which the collapse of the package or latching occurs, the yarn is likely to be broken when the yarn is unwound.

- the package is an elastic yarn package into which an elastic yarn has been wound, and the friction roller drivingly contacts with a central part of the outer peripheral surface of the package to rotate the package, the central part being located away from opposite end surfaces of the package by a predetermined distance within which the package is expected to collapse.
- the predetermined distance is larger than the distance of higher yarn layer portions formed at the opposite ends of the package.
- the present invention provides a device for unwinding a yarn from a package, the device comprising a friction roller that contacts with a peripheral surface of the package to rotate the package and yarn guiding means for guiding a yarn unwound and drawn out from the package in the radial direction of the package as a result of rotation of the friction roller, the device being characterized in that a convex portion is provided on an axial part of the friction roller so that the friction roller contacts with only a central part of the package which is located inside opposite axial ends of the package and which has a substantially fixed outer diameter, the convex portion of the friction roller having a larger diameter than other parts of the friction roller and contacting with the central part of the package.
- the friction roller comprises a cylinder, and an annular member which is separate from the cylinder and which is placed radially outside the cylinder, and the annular member is the convex portion of the friction roller.

Abstract
When an unwinding device based on a friction roller system is used to unwind a yarn from a package while applying unwinding tension to the package, the package may collapse at the opposite ends of the package, resulting in inappropriate unwinding. An unwinding device includes a friction roller 3 that contacts with a peripheral surface of a winding package 1 to rotate the package 1 and a yarn guide roller 4 that guides an elastic yarn 5 unwound and drawn out from the package 1 in the radial direction of the package as a result of rotation of the friction roller 3. A friction belt 11 is provided on an axial part of the friction roller 3 so that the friction roller 3 contacts with only a central portion 1 b of the package 1 which is located inside opposite axial ends 1 a, 1 a of the package 1 and which has a substantially fixed outer diameter, and the friction belt 11 has a larger diameter than a cylinder 10 and is located radially outside the cylinder 10.
Description
- The present invention relates to a technique for a method and device for unwinding a yarn from a package, in which a friction roller is contacted with a peripheral surface of the package to rotate the package, while unwinding the yarn from the package so that the yarn is unwound in the radial direction of the package.
- A yarn unwinding device based on a friction roller system is conventionally known which is configured so as to unwind a yarn from a package by contacting a friction roller with a peripheral surface of the package. An example of such an unwinding device is an elastic
yarn supply device 10 disclosed in the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai) No. 2002-363834 (the reference numeral corresponds to the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai) No. 2002-363834). As described in the paragraph 0017 of the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication (Tokkai) No. 2002-363834), the elasticyarn supply device 10 is provided with a rotating roller 21 that drives a package 20 for anelastic yarn 11. The elastic yarn package 20 contacts with the rotating roller 21 so as to be subjected to its rotation. - In a manufacturing stage of the elastic yarn package, “higher yarn layer portions” may be formed at the opposite ends of the elastic yarn package, and the surface of yarn layers in the package may be formed to be convex at the opposite ends so as to project from the surface of the remaining yarn layer part. This occurs when, during an operation of winding a yarn by traversing the yarn in the axial direction of the package, a relatively long time is required to guide the yarn around a turning pint, that is, the time for which yarn is stalled increases at the ends of the package.
- When the friction roller is contacted with the surface of yarn layers in a package with higher yarn layer portions to rotate the package, the contact pressure acting on the higher yarn layer portions may collapse the yarn layers constituting the higher yarn layer portions. This may disturb the vertical arrangement of the overlapping yarn layers in the traversed yarn to be unwound, thus collapsing the yarn layer, or may cause latching in which the vertical relationship among the yarn layers in the yarn to be unwound is reversed. In portions in which the collapse of the package or latching occurs, the yarn is likely to be broken when the yarn is unwound.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a core yarn manufacturing unit to which the unwinding device in accordance with the first embodiment is applied. - A description will be given of three embodiments of an unwinding device for a package with higher yarn layer portions in accordance with the present invention. The unwinding device in accordance with the present invention is based on the friction roller system. A friction roller is contacted with a peripheral surface of a package to rotate the package, thus unwinding and drawing out the yarn from the package. The package from which the yarn is to be unwound is a common package with higher yarn layer portions (the diameter of the package is larger at its axial ends). In the embodiments described below, the friction roller provided in the unwinding device has different configurations.
- With reference to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , a description will be given of anunwinding device 100 that is a first embodiment. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , theunwinding device 100 comprises acradle arm 2 that holds a package 1 and afriction roller 3 contacted with a peripheral surface of the package 1. Theunwinding device 100 may also comprise ayarn guide roller 4 that guide anelastic yarn 5 unwound from the package 1 (in present embodiment, theyarn guide roller 4 is provided.). - A main frame (not shown in the drawings) of the
unwinding device 100 rotatably supports aroller driving shaft 7 and also supports acradle support shaft 8. Theroller driving shaft 7 is fixed to the axis of thefriction roller 3, and theroller driving shaft 7 rotatively drives and rotates thefriction roller 3. Thecradle arm 2 is U-shaped in a plane view and hasbobbin holders 2 a provided inside the respective ends (upper right and left portions of the U shape) of thecradle arm 2 to support abobbin 6 for the package 1. Thecradle arm 2 is rotatably supported by thecradle support shaft 8 in its part (lower end of the U shape) located opposite the laterally opposite ends. The package 1 is a package formed by traversing a yarn around an outer periphery of thebobbin 6 in a manufacturing stage of the package. - In the above configuration, the axial direction of the
roller driving shaft 7 is parallel to that of thecradle support shaft 8. The axial direction of thebobbin 6, supported by thebobbin holders roller driving shaft 7 and thecradle support shaft 8. Accordingly, the axial direction of thefriction roller 3 is parallel to that of the package 1, supported by thecradle arm 2. - The package 1, supported by the
cradle arm 2, can revolve freely around thecradle support shaft 8, and the weight of the package 1 keeps it in contact with thefriction roller 3. The peripheral surface of the package 1 is in frictional contact with a peripheral surface of thefriction roller 3. The package 1 rotates in unison with the rotation of thefriction roller 3. - The
elastic yarn 5 unwound from the package 1 is guided by theyarn guide roller 4 and drawn out in the radial direction of the package 1. Theyarn guide roller 4 is placed on the tangent between thefriction roller 3 and the package 1 or at a position closer to the package 1 than the tangential direction (the position where the unwoundelastic yarn 5 contacts with the peripheral surface of the package 1), in the side view shown inFIG. 1 (as viewed from the axial direction of the package 1). In the front view shown inFIG. 2 (as viewed from the direction of the tangent between thefriction roller 3 and the package 1), the yarn guide roller 4 (not shown inFIG. 2 ) is located in a central part of the package 1 in the axial direction of the package 1. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , the package 1, from which the yarn is to be unwound by theunwinding device 100, has higher yarn layer portions in which the diameter of the package 1 is larger at its axial ends. The package 1 is divided into the following three parts along its axial direction: oppositeaxial ends central part 1 b. Each of theaxial ends 1 a of the package 1 includes the higher yarn layer portions. On the other hand, thecentral part 1 b of the package 1 has a substantially fixed outer diameter and includes no the higher yarn layer portions. - The
friction roller 3 is composed of acylindrical drum 10 and a friction belt (for example, a rubber belt) 11 placed radially outside thedrum 10. Thefriction belt 11 is an annular member formed by connecting the opposite ends of a band-like rubber member. Thefriction belt 11 is fitted around thedrum 10. - In connection with the axial length, the
drum 10 is formed to be longer than the package 1, and thefriction belt 11 is formed to be shorter than the package 1. Further, thefriction roller 3 has a larger outer diameter by the thickness of thefriction belt 11 at the position where thefriction belt 11 is placed, than in a part in which only thedrum 10 is present. - The
friction belt 11 is formed to have an axial length W1 equal to or smaller than the axial length W0 ofcentral part 1 b of the package 1. The radially outward projection length H1 of thefriction roller 11, that is, the difference between the diameter of thedrum 10 and the outer diameter of the friction belt 11 (thickness of the friction belt 11) is larger than the height H0 of the higher yarn layer portion of the package 1, that is, the difference between the maximum diameter of theaxial end 1 a of the package 1 and the diameter of thecentral part 1 b of the package 1. Here, the package 1 and thefriction roller 3 are laid out so that thefriction belt 11 is located between boundary surfaces A, A each of which is located between the correspondingaxial end 1 a and thecentral part 1 b of the package 1. - In the above configuration, only the
central part 1 b of the package 1 contacts with thefriction belt 11 of thefriction roller 3, and no other parts of the package 1 contact with thefriction roller 3. Thus, the higher yarn layer portions do not contact with thefriction roller 3. This prevents the yarn from being inappropriately unwound. - Now, with reference to
FIG. 3 , a description will be give of an unwindingdevice 200 that is a second embodiment. The unwindingdevice 200 has the same configuration as that of the unwindingdevice 100 except that afriction roller 103 is used in place of thefriction roller 3. The package from which the yarn is to be unwound by the unwindingdevice 200 is the package 1 having higher yarn layer portions in which the diameter of the package is larger at the axial ends of the package 1. Accordingly, in the description below of the unwindingdevice 200, focus will be given to the configuration of thefriction roller 103. In addition, the same reference numbers as those of the unwindingdevice 100 are used for those members of the unwindingdevice 200 which have the same arrangements of the corresponding members of the unwindingdevice 100. The description of these members is omitted. - The
friction roller 103 is composed of acylindrical drum 110 and arubber ring 111 placed radially outside thedrum 110. Therubber ring 111 is an annular member having a circular transverse section, and therubber ring 11 is fitted around thedrum 110. Further, a concave groove 110 a is formed in an outer peripheral surface of thedrum 110 at an appropriate position in the axial direction, and the concave groove 110 a is formed to the shape of the transverse section of therubber ring 111. Therubber ring 111 is fitted and positioned in the concave groove 110 a. Theroller driving shaft 107 is fixed to the axis of the friction roller 103 (drum 110). - In connection with the axial length, the
drum 110 is formed to be longer than the package 1, and therubber ring 111 is formed to be shorter than the package 1. Further, thefriction roller 103 has a larger outer diameter by the thickness of therubber belt 111 at the position where therubber ring 111 is placed, than in a part in which only thedrum 110 is present. - The
rubber ring 111 is formed to have an axial length W2 equal to or smaller than the axial length W0 ofcentral part 1 b of the package 1. The radially outward projection length H2 of therubber ring 111, that is, the difference between the maximum diameter of the drum 110 (not the diameter of the concave groove but of the peripheral surface) and the outer diameter of therubber ring 111 is larger than the height H0 of the higher yarn layer portion of the package 1, that is, the difference between the maximum diameter of theaxial end 1 a of the package 1 and the diameter of thecentral part 1 b of the package 1. Here, the package 1 and thefriction roller 103 is laid out so that therubber ring 111 is located between boundary surfaces A, A, each of which is located between the correspondingaxial end 1 a and thecentral part 1 b of the package 1. - In the above configuration, only the
central part 1 b of the package 1 contacts with therubber ring 111 of thefriction roller 103, and no other parts of the package 1 contact with thefriction roller 103. - Now, with reference to
FIG. 4 , a description will be given of an unwinding device 300 that is a third embodiment. The unwinding device 300 has the same configuration as that of the unwindingdevice 100 except that afriction roller 203 is used in place of thefriction roller 3. The package from which the yarn is to be unwound by the unwinding device 300 is the package 1 having higher yarn layer portions in which the diameter of the package 1 is larger at the axial ends of the package 1. Accordingly, in the description below of the unwinding device 300, focus will be given to the configuration of thefriction roller 203. In addition, the same reference numbers as those of the unwindingdevice 100 are used for those members of the unwinding device 300 which have the same arrangements of the corresponding members of the unwindingdevice 100. The description of these members is omitted. - The
friction roller 203 is a cylindrical drum and is formed to be shorter than that of the package 1 in the axial direction. Theroller driving shaft 7 is fixed to the axis of the friction roller 203 (drum 110). - More specifically, the
friction roller 203 is formed to have an axial length W3 equal to or smaller than the axial length W0 ofcentral part 1 b of the package 1. The difference (length H3) between the diameter of thefriction roller 203 and the diameter of theroller driving shaft 7 is larger than the height H0 of the higher yarn layer portion of the package 1, that is, the difference between the maximum diameter of theaxial end 1 a of the package 1 and the diameter of thecentral part 1 b of the package 1. Here, the package 1 and thefriction roller 203 are laid out so that thefriction roller 203 is located between the boundary surfaces A, A, each of which is located between the correspondingaxial end 1 a and thecentral part 1 b of the package 1. - In the above configuration, the
friction roller 203 contacts with only thecentral part 1 b of the package 1, and it does not contact with any other parts (axial ends 1 a) of the package 1. - Now, with reference to
FIG. 5 , a description will be given of a coreyarn manufacturing unit 500 to which theunwinding device 100, the first embodiment, is applied. The coreyarn manufacturing unit 500 manufactures a core yarn using one spindle, and the coreyarn manufacturing unit 500 constitutes a part of a core yarn manufacturing apparatus. The core yarn manufacturing apparatus comprises a large number of coreyarn manufacturing units 500, and driving and control mechanisms for the respective coreyarn manufacturing units 500. The core yarn manufacturing apparatus can simultaneously manufacture a large number of core yarns using a corresponding number of spindles. - The core
yarn manufacturing unit 500 comprises an elastic yarn supply device that supplies theelastic yarn 5, constituting a core fiber, a fiber bundle manufacturing device that manufactures afiber bundle 505 from asliver 504, and a spinning device that covers the periphery of theelastic yarn 5 with thefiber bundle 505 to manufacture a core yarn 512. In the description below, expressions such as upstream side and downstream side are used on the basis of the direction in which thesliver 504, thefiber bundle 505, and the core yarn 512 are fed. - The elastic yarn supply device is the unwinding
device 100 provided with the package 1 around which theelastic yarn 5 is wound. - The fiber bundle manufacturing device comprises a can (not shown in the drawing) serving as a supplying source of the
sliver 504 and adraft device 506 that drafts (draws) thesliver 504 to form and to arrange afiber bundle 505. Thedraft device 506 comprises four roller pairs, that is, aback roller pair 507, athird roller pair 508, asecond roller pair 509, and afront roller pair 510, arranged in this order along the direction in which thesliver 504 is conveyed. An apron belt is wound around the rollers of thesecond roller pair 509 to enlarge a nip area for thesliver 504. - The
elastic yarn 5 is supplied to between thefront roller pair 510 and thesecond roller pair 509 of thedraft device 506 so as to join thefiber bundle 505. The following are provided on a route for theelastic yarn 5 which extends from the unwindingdevice 100 to the draft device 506: afunnel portion 560 into which theelastic yarn 5 is inserted, anair sucker device 558, an elasticyarn detecting sensor 532, aclamp cutter device 533, and an elastic yarnsupply guide cylinder 559. Theelastic yarn 5 is supplied to thedraft device 506 through these devices. - A
pneumatic spinning device 513 as the above spinning device is provided downstream side of thedraft device 506. Thepneumatic spinning device 513 contains a pneumatic spinning nozzle that carries out spinning by causing whirling currents of compressed air to act on theelastic yarn 11 supplied from the unwindingdevice 100 and on thefiber bundle 505 drafted by thedraft device 506.

- The unwinding device for a package, corresponding to a first device invention, comprises a friction roller that contacts with a peripheral surface of the package to rotate the package and yarn guiding means for guiding the yarn unwound and drawn out from the package in the radial direction of the package as a result of rotation of the friction roller. Further, a convex portion is provided on an axial part of the friction roller so that the friction roller contacts with only a central part of the package which is located inside opposite axial ends of the package and which has a substantially fixed outer diameter, the convex portion of the friction roller having a larger diameter than other parts of the friction roller and contacting with the central part of the package.
- In the first and second embodiments, the yarn guiding means is the
yarn guide roller 4. In the first and second embodiments, the package 1 is divided into the following three parts along the axial direction, that is, the opposite axial ends 1 a, 1 a and thecentral part 1 b. Thecentral part 1 b of the package 1 has a substantially fixed outer diameter. Thefriction roller 3 in the first embodiment comprises thefriction belt 11 placed radially outside thedrum 10 and serving as the convex portion. Thefriction roller 103 in the second embodiment comprises therubber ring 111 placed radially outside thedrum 110 and serving as the convex portion. - The convex portion need not necessarily be separated from the
drum friction belt 11 on thedrum 10 or therubber ring 111 on thedrum 110. The convex portion may be integrated with thedrum - Thus, the higher yarn layer portions of the package do not contact with the friction roller. This prevents inappropriate unwinding even when a yarn is unwound while applying unwinding tension.
- An unwinding device for a package corresponding to a second device invention is the first device invention configured as described below. The friction roller is composed of a cylinder and an annular member which is separate from the cylinder and which is placed radially outside the cylinder. The annular member is the convex portion of the friction roller.
- In the first embodiment, the cylinder is the
drum 10 and the annular member is thefriction belt 11. In the second embodiment, the cylinder is thedrum 110 and the annular member is therubber ring 111. - Thus, in the friction roller having the convex portion, the convex portion is separate from the cylinder. This allows an appropriate friction roller to be manufactured to the shape (the axial length or the diameter of the higher yarn layer portions) of the package from which the yarn is to be unwound.
- An unwinding device for a package corresponding to a third device invention comprises a friction roller that contacts with a peripheral surface of the package to rotate the package and yarn guiding means for guiding a yarn unwound and drawn out from the package in the radial direction of the package as a result of rotation of the friction roller. The friction roller is formed so as to be as long as or shorter than an axially central part of the package in the axial direction so that the friction roller contacts with only the central part of the package which is located inside opposite axial ends of the package and which has a substantially fixed outer diameter.
- In the third embodiment, the yarn guiding means is the
yarn guide roller 4. In the third embodiment, the package 1 is divided into the following three parts along the axial direction, that is, the opposite axial ends 1 a, 1 a and thecentral part 1 b. Thecentral part 1 b of the package 1 has a substantially fixed outer diameter. Thefriction roller 203 in the third embodiment is formed to be shorter than thecentral part 1 b of the package 1 in the axial direction. - Thus, the higher yarn layer portions do not contact with the friction roller. This prevents inappropriate unwinding even when a yarn is unwound while applying unwinding tension.
- Now, a description will be given of a method for unwinding a yarn from a package in accordance with the present invention.
- A method for unwinding a yarn from a package which method corresponds to a first method invention uses an unwinding device based on a friction roller system and comprises the steps described below. In a first step, a friction roller is contacted with a peripheral surface of the package. In a second step, the friction roller is driven to rotate the package, while unwinding the yarn from the package so that the yarn is unwound in the radial direction of the package. In particular, the friction roller contacts with the peripheral surface of the package in such a way that the opposite ends of the package float from an outer peripheral surface of the friction roller.
- In this case, the friction roller may be contacted with the peripheral surface of the package in any part of the package except its opposite ends. For example, any part of the package except its opposite ends, that is, any part within the central part of the package, may be used as a contacting part with the friction roller regardless of whether it is located at a central position of the package or closer to one of the opposite ends than to the axially central position. That is, the contact between the friction roller and the package may be similar to a point contact rather than a line contact, along the axis of the package. Of course, a line contact may be achieved in which the entire central part of the package except the opposite ends contacts with the friction roller.
- With the above configuration, the higher yarn layer portions do not contact with the friction roller. This prevents inappropriate unwinding even when a yarn is unwound while applying unwinding tension.
- A method for unwinding a yarn from a package which method corresponds to a second method invention is the first method invention configured as described below. The package is an elastic yarn package into which an elastic yarn has been wound. The friction roller drivingly contacts with a central part of the outer peripheral surface of the package to rotate the package, the central part being located away from opposite end surfaces of the package by a predetermined distance within which the package is expected to collapse.
- Even with an elastic yarn package in which package is more likely collapse than in the case of normal yarns, the above configuration prevents the higher yarn layer portions of the package from contacting with the friction roller. This prevents inappropriate unwinding even when a yarn is unwound while applying unwinding tension.
- A method for unwinding a yarn from a package which method corresponds to a third method invention is the second method invention configured as described below. The predetermined distance is larger than the length of higher yarn layer portions formed at the opposite ends of the package.
- Even if a package with higher yarn layer portions, higher yarn layer portions, in which the collapse of the package or latching is likely to occur, do not contact with the friction roller. This prevents inappropriate unwinding even when a yarn is unwound from a package with the higher yarn layer portions while applying unwinding tension to the package.
