Definitions

  • Reels utilized for drying of thread or for raising the temperature of the thread during a processing step while it is temporarily stored on the reel are generally lubricated with oils or greases that require frequent replacement because of the high temperatures involved. Improved greases, seals and the circulation of cooling lubricating oils through the various reel bearlngs have not overcome the required frequent maintenance of reels operating at elevated temperatures. Lubricating greases are not yet available that can withstand continuous high temperatures for prolonged periods of time, and where oil is recirculated the problem of efl'iciently sealing the bearings against leakage has not yet been satisfactorily solved. The use of circulating oils also requires additional complicated apparatus such as pumps, oil cooling devices, and conduits. It is, of course, desirable to have bearings within a heated reel that are longwearing and that need little or no attention, that are self-lubricated, and that will withstand elevated temperatures.
  • This invention advantageously provides for a reel adapted to transmit heat which includes carbon type bearings that are long lived and that serve as eflicient seals and that are lubricated by a heated circulating medium, e. g. steam, hot water, etc. that is used for heating the reel.
  • the circulating medium advantageously, also increases the effectiveness of sealing the contacting faces of the bearing surfaces.
  • the bearings also, provide for a fully enclosed chamber in the thread-storing, thread-advancing reel to be hereinafter described through which the heating medium is adapted to circulate.
  • the bearing material advantageously, is of impervious graphite, or carbon and graphite, formed and machined into a bearing and as a sealing means.
  • Such a material is available under the names of Graphitar or Karbate.
  • the material has qualties which no other material heretofore had.
  • Figure 1 represents, in plan, a thread storing, thread advancing reel through which is circulated a temperature changing heating medium
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the reel of Figure 1 taken across lines 22;
  • Figure 3 is a cross-section of Figure 1;
  • Figure 4 is a section in dimetric projection of one of the reel bearings.
  • the reel is of a type shown and described in U. S. Patent No. 2,413,217 which comprises a combined plurality of longitudinally extending bar members l2, l3 of two separate reel members It) and II, the bar members of the one reel member interdigitating with those of the other.
  • the reel members are mounted for rotation about axes that are offset and askew relative to each other and the rotation of the reel members will advance thread in a plurality of generally helical turns.
  • the reel members advantageously, are made of heat transmitting material such as, for instance, aluminum having a high coemcient of heat conductivity.
  • a heating fluid circulated through the interior of the reel at elevated temperatures heats the entire unit with the result that ordinary grease lubricants soon become melted, the seals deteriorate and leak.
  • An impervious graphite or graphitic carbon hearing provides for a bearing and a seal when lubricated with steam-condensate as well as for an indefinitely long life.
  • the reel is supported by and mounted for rotation about a stationary hollow shaft it. As shown in Figure 3 there is concentrically positioned within the tubular shaft it a tube it.
  • the hollow s'haft l5 and the tube It are each adapted for the circulation of a heating medium; the annular space about the tube It conducts the heating medium out of the interior chamber ll of the reel member H, and to a bearing 66, and thetube I6 conducts the medium to the front bearing Bl.
  • the shaft I5 is supported in a, flanged sleeve l8 through which it extends.
  • the flange of the above provides support for the shaft and for the reel when positioned in the face of 3 a spinning machine (not shown).
  • a reel driving gear [9 is mounted on the reel hub 2
  • reel member I I is supported by and rotates on spaced carbon-graphite type bearings 23 and 24 positioned about the reel shaft l but within the lengths of the bar members l3 of the reel member ll.
  • Each bearing is formed of two elements 25, 26, and 21, 28.
  • Element 25 is impressed in the annular wall by a threaded collar 3
  • the element 21 is secured in the wall 30 by a threaded collar 34 and the element 2-8 is on the sleeve 40. being, however. moveable thereon for lateral adjustmentl'

  • Th iront 4 supporting bearing SI of the reel member in also comprises two bearing elements 15 and I6.
  • Bearing element 16 is positioned about the reel shaft l5 while the bearing element 15 is contained in a recess in the front supporting section 11 of the reel member Ill. The bearing element 15 presses against the element 16 through the expansion forces or the spring 12.
  • the manner of lubrication of the end reel bearings 513,51 is more specifically shown in Figure 4.
  • the bearing oiEigure i is the. front reel bearing 6
  • the part 18, positioned .on thefshaft'ifi, is lubricated bycondensate from within the tube 15 flowing through the condensate conducting passage, 19 which terminates in a small wellBfl.
  • the condensate upon emerging from the passage on, flows into a 'slightdepression 84 which alsdacts as a reservoir and a lubricant-spreadin means over the two contacting surfaces of the component bearing parts;
  • The. rearbearing is similarly constructed and-lubricated.-
  • the bearings 23, which form the endclosures of the reel'chamber 11 are lubricated directly by the condensate from within the chamber itself. But a' small amount of condensate is necessary to lubricate the contacting surfaces of all the bearings.
