  • FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic side view of another method of implementation of a device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first method of implementation of the invention.
  • a carding roller 1 is supplied with raw fibres by a feed cylinder (not shown in the diagram).
  • the carding drum comprises a covering equipped with spikes to perform the actual carding.
  • a doffer 3 is placed at the top of the carding drum to collect the fibres worked by the carding drum.
  • the doffer thereby forms a fleece of fibres, for example non-woven, the fleece being collected by a stripper roller 7 placed on the opposite side of the carding drum with respect to the doffer, the stripper roller 7 detaching the fleece of fibres from the doffer and depositing it on an output belt of the device (belt not shown in the diagrams).
  • the device according to the invention in FIG. 1 also comprises a cleaner flywheel or roller 4 placed on the top of the doffer and arranged so as to bear against the doffer spikes to remove impurities and other dust from it.
  • the doffer flywheel cleaner 4 has flexible spikes forming a brush, while the doffer has rigid spikes.
  • the carding drum 1 rotates in a clockwise direction (this is when it is fitted on the left in relation to the output belt).
  • the doffer cylinder rotates anticlockwise, that is in the opposite direction to the carding drum.
  • the doffer cleaner flywheel rotates in the same direction as the carding drum and in the opposite direction to the doffer, so that at the interface between the doffer 3 and the doffer cleaner flywheel 4 , the peripheral speeds of the flywheel and the doffer are in the same direction, that is in the direction of the carding drum opposite to it.
  • the device in FIG. 1 also comprises a smooth roller 5 placed between the carding drum 1 and the doffer cylinder 3 and below the doffer cleaner flywheel 4 .
  • the purpose of the smooth roller is to prevent a vacuum causing turbulence that can cause faults in the fleece formed.
  • the device also comprises a drum cleaner flywheel 9 rotating in the opposite direction to the drum, and two airtight rollers 10 with rigid seals upstream and downstream respectively of the drum cleaner flywheel 9 , located on each side of the cleaner flywheel 9 .
  • An enclosure 20 blocks emissions from the cleaner flywheel 9 . However, it is not necessary to provide enclosures for the airtight rollers.
  • the downstream airtight roller 10 is located firstly above the smooth roller 5 and secondly so that its seal bears on, in particular brushes, the circumference of the doffer cleaner flywheel 4 .
  • the two airtight rollers 10 and the cleaner drum flywheel 9 rotate in the same direction as the doffer cylinder 3 and in the opposite direction to the drum and the doffer cleaner flywheel 4 .
  • the speed of rotation of the main drum may be between 750 and 1,100 m/min and the speed of rotation (tangential or peripheral speed) of the doffer between 0 and 250 m/min, while the speed of rotation (tangential or peripheral speed) of the doffer cylinder cleaner may be between 0 and 230 m/min and the speed of rotation of the stripper roller may be between 0 and 400 m/min.
  • the ratio of the peripheral speed of the doffer cleaner flywheel and the peripheral speed of the doffer this can be such that the speed of the cylinder cleaner is 5 to 30 times less than the speed of the doffer in the case where the two cylinders rotate in opposite directions.
  • the peripheral speed of the doffer is lower than the peripheral speed of the carding drum, in particular the ratio of the two speeds is between 5 and 100.
  • FIG. 2 shows a method of implementation of a device for forming two fleeces of fibres, upper and lower respectively, comprising a carding drum 1 and two doffers, 3 upper and 3 ′ lower.
  • the arrangement of the upper doffer 3 is the same as that shown in FIG. 1 , the device comprising at the top the same components as the device shown in FIG. 1 , in particular the drum cleaner flywheel 9 , the two upstream and downstream airtight rollers, the doffer cleaner flywheel and the smooth roller.
  • the doffer cleaner flywheels 4 and 4 ′ rotate in the same direction as the carding drum and in the opposite direction to the doffers, so that at the interfaces between the doffer 3 ′ and the doffer cleaner flywheel 4 ′, the peripheral speeds of the flywheel and the doffers are in the same direction, that is in the direction of the carding drum opposite to it.
  • An airtight roller 10 ′ is arranged between the carding drum 1 and the lower doffer 3 ′ arranged so that the seal bears against, in effect brushes the periphery of the lower doffer cleaner flywheel 4 ′.
  • the lower airtight roller 10 ′ rotating in the same direction as the lower doffer 3 ′ and in the opposite direction to that of the drum 1 and the lower doffer cleaner flywheel 4 ′.
  • FIG. 3 shows another method of implementation of a device according to the invention.
  • the device comprises a carding drum 1 supplied by a feed roller 2 , a doffer 3 ′, a stripper roller 7 ′ and a doffer cleaner flywheel 4 ′′ coupled to an airtight flywheel 10 ′′, arranged between the carding drum 1 and the comb 3 ′, so that its seal bears against, in effect brushes the periphery of the doffer cleaner flywheel 4 ′′.
  • the doffer cleaner roller 4 ′′ and the doffer 3 ′ rotate in the same direction.
  • the direction of rotation of the cleaner flywheel 4 ′′ is such that dust and impurities from the doffer roller at the interface between the doffer roller and the cleaner flywheel 4 ′′ are sent in the opposite direction to that of the carding drum, the absolute value of the peripheral speed of the flywheel 4 ′′ being greater that of the doffer roller 3 ′.
  • a screen is provided, in particular in the form of an enclosure 11 arranged so as to prevent impurities and dust removed from the doffer roller 3 ′ by the cleaner flywheel 4 ′′ from falling on the stripper roller 7 ′, thus preventing these impurities and dust from contaminating the fleece of fibres formed by the device.
  • FIG. 4 shows yet another method of implementation of a device according to the invention in which a drum cleaner flywheel is not provided.
  • the device comprises a carding drum 1 , upper and lower doffer rollers 3 , 3 ′, two associated stripper rollers 7 , 7 ′ and two doffer cleaner flywheels 4 , 4 ′.
  • An airtight roller 10 with rigid seal is also fitted between the carding drum and the upper doffer roller, below the doffer cleaner flywheel 4 to clean the flywheel 4 and recycle the dust and fibres from the carding drum and also preventing turbulence forming in the region between the drum and the upper doffer.
  • an airtight roller 10 ′ with rigid seal is placed between the carding drum and the lower doffer roller.
  • the device is completed by a traditional carding unit formed from a worker 21 and a sweeper 22 .
  • the airtight rollers 10 , 10 ′, 10 ′′ and the flywheel 9 rotate anticlockwise, in the opposite direction to the carding drum.
  • these rollers can rotate in the same direction as the drum, in particular in the case of very dusty fibres to the point that they may not be captured by the airtight roller seals.
  • the smooth roller 5 rotates clockwise, in the same direction as the carding drum. However, this roller can rotate in the opposite direction to that of the drum as a function of the aerodynamic phenomena observed.
  • the, or each doffer roller immediately follows the carding drum (except for the fibres and/or the collected fleece which lies between them).
  • the stripper roller immediately follows the doffer roller (except for the fleece it is stripper from the doffer).
  • the, or each output belt follows the doffer roller, but may be fitted between one or more rollers, in particular transfer rollers.
