Definitions

  • This invention relates to machines of great length divided into individual sections, particularly spinning machines (slubbing, roving, spinning or twisting frames)
  • spinning machines sino machines
  • machines of great length are known to be divided into individual sections in order to facilitate the manufacture of the individual parts, their transportation and the assembly.
  • textile machines become customary to make up such machines of sectional parts.
  • machines are known in which longitudinal sections of one and the same type of elements have the same length while differing in length from different types of elements.
  • spinning machines are known having all roller beam sections of equal length, ring rail sections likewise of equal length but differing in length from said roller beam sections, and guide rod sections which, while or equal length among each other differ in length from said roller beam sections and said ring rail sections.
  • Such machines also comprise spindle rail sections, driving shaft sections, drawing roller sections and the like which while of equal length among each other, differ in length from said roller beam sections, ring rail sections, and spindle rail sections.
  • Fig. 1 is a partial longitudinal view of a machine in accordance with the invention, one individual section being shown separately for the sake of clarity.
  • Fig. la illustrates a coupling element interconnecting two shaft ends.
  • Fig. 1b is a section taken along the line Ib-Ib of Fig. la.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 are exaggerated illustrations indicating the mode of operation of the invention.
  • Fig. 3a is a cross section through Fig. 1 around a vertical column thereof.
  • the present invention is based on the' nding that machines of great length should possess quite a specific dynamic yielding capability and flexibility enabling them to ada-pt themselves in a manner of a rope or the links of a chain to any dimensional changes which are due to mechanical or thermal factors, i. e. to breathe so to speak.
  • the present invention suggests that the sections of all horizontal parts of the machine should be of equal length, and the individual sections should be connected to each other in such a manner that their joints or end surfaces are located in the same planes. Ii so subdivided, the individual sections form, so to speak, the links of a chain, while the joints form the' hinge points of the links of such chain.
  • the links of the chain are given an end support around which they are allowed to swing, and which support affords a simple levelling by designing the uprights so as to be adjustable in height in accordance with another feature of the invention.
  • a ring spinning machine having a vertically movable spindle rail with positively driven spindles and a xed ring rail has been chosen as an example.
  • the invention is not confined to such machines, but is readily adaptable to other designs such as ring spinning frames with tape driven spindles, as well as other types of machines, e. g. twisting frames and preparing machines.
  • Fig. l the machine shown therein has a total length of approximately 20.5 yds. while, for the sake of clarity, the driving arrangements and those details of the drawing frame which are not absolutely necessary for the understanding of the invention, have been omitted.
  • the machine is divided into individual sections designated I, Il, III and so forth which are arranged side by side and, by way of example, have a length of 1.09 yd. cach.
  • Each section comprises the same number of supporting parts arranged horizontally, such as the top bobbin rail I, the thread guide rod 2, the bottom bobbin rail 3, the roller beam il, the lappet rod 5, the ring rail S, the spindle rail 1, and the treadle rod 8, as well as the same number of horizontal rotary longitudinal parts such as the rluted rollers 9, I and the front roller II of the drawing frame, the spindle driving shaft I2 and the lifter shaft I3 ofthe spindlevrail, which are carried in the respective bearings I4, I5, I5, I'I, i8, I9, or 23, 2
  • the sections I, II. III of all the horizontal parts of the machine are of the same length, and the various sections are connected to each other in such a way that their joints always lie in the same planes A-A. Located in these planes are also the bearings I4 to i9, so that all longitudinal sections are supported at these points, thereby preventing any jamming, distortion and similar faulty stresses as are likely to occur with the bearings being arranged differently.
  • lt is just as advantageous to arrange the rising and lowering longitudinal sections, i. e. the spin die rail 'l in the example set forth, to be guided in the planes A-A of their joints.
  • the vertical guiding means By locating the vertical guiding means in those planes, it is possible to eliminate any components of forces which might be produced if the guiding means were arranged at some other points of the machine franie, and which might interfere with the operation of the machine in the event of negligible displacements of its longitudinal parts, par ticularly those moving up and down.
  • the parts moving up and down are accordingly guided along the machine frame 26 on which the slide 2l which carries the spindle rail i is guided by the sleeve 28.
  • the slide 21, shaft I3, and spindle rail 'l reciprocate as a unit.
  • the mechanism effecting this movement does not form a part of the present invention and may be of the type described in my U. S. Patent No. 2,658,327.
  • the breathing power of the machine take up any dimensional changes which may possibly be caused by the specific up and down motion of the vertically movable parts.
  • the actuating mechanisms for the up and down motion of the parts concerned should also be located in the planes A--A of the joints. In the embodiment illustrated, this has been accomplished by locating the driving element for the slide 21, viz. the lifter wheel 29 actuating the lifter nut 29', in the plane A-A.
  • the longitudinal sections are connected to each other in an articulated manner.
  • This can be accomplished in various ways, and the constructive means to achieve this are well known.
  • these connections may be replaced by suitable other coupling means, sleeve couplings, flexible plates, or similar means. It is only essential that they should be alike for all joints in order to ensure a uniform and equal amount of flexibility which guarantees the breathing power of the machine.
  • Non-cylindrical parts may be coupled together in a similar manner.
  • the individual sections in addition to being of equal length, are so dimensioned that their expansions due to variations in temperature or varying static and dynamic stresses are nearly constant. Therefore, the cross sections of the individual parts are essentially or approximately the same, depending on the kind of material used, that is to say depending on the linear and volumetric coefficients of expansion.
  • the cylindrical longitudinal parts Sand 8 to I3 are of essentially the same diameter and, therefore, have the same prole and the same coemcient of expansion. Negligiblev dimensional differences in the diameters as are inevitable from atechnological point of view do not impair the principle of the present invention.
  • the machine frames 26 are located in the planes A-A of the joints of the longitudinal sections. ln the embodiment of the invention according to Fig. 1, the frame is shown as a column, but the invention is not limited to this shape, although, being universally applicable, it appears to be the most suitable one for the embodiment of the characteristics of this invention.
  • the longitudinal sections i to I3 are adjustable in height in their entirety by means of the machine frames and the sections of the individual shafts such as shaft i3 are adjustable in height in their entirety by means of the slide 2l.
  • vision it is easily possible to compensate for any deviations from the horizontal resulting from wear or sinking down of the machine simply by regulating the height of that frame which has sunk, this adjustment being eiected at the same time for all the longitudinal sections without detriment to their parallel position.
  • the height adjustment may be effected by any suitable standard means. In its simplest form, such means may comprise a threaded bolt 3
  • the longitudinal r sections By locating the joints of the individual sections of the longitudinal parts invariably in one and the same plane, as directed, the longitudinal r sections constantly maintain their relative parallel position by virtue of their flexibility. They adjust themselves relative to one another like the links of a chain without any jamming as it occurs with the known types of machines. Figs. 2 and 3 make this evident.
  • Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic elevational view of a conventional type of machine having longitudinal parts which differ in length. As indicated, the length of the roller beam 32 differs from that of the ring rail 33, and this in turn is different from that of the spindle rail sections 3K3 and drawing rollers 35. Assuming the machine frame 35 has sunk as shown in the drawing by the dashed line, then the longitudinal sections 32 to 35 bend in various ways, similar to the exaggerated illustration indicated by dashed lines, thus causing an irregular running of the machine.
  • the longitudinal division according to the present invention is also extended to auxiliary elements such as piping'running in the longitudinal direction of the machine.
  • a textile machine comprising in combination, a plurality of spaced supporting means arranged in vertical planes transverse to the longitudinal direction of said machine and subdividing said machine into a plurality of machine subsections, and a plurality of longitudinal members extend ing in the longitudinal direction of said machine and being arranged in diierent horizontal planes, each of said longitudinal members being subdivided into a plurality of individual sections having their end surfaces respectively supported by two adjacent supporting means, one section of each longitudinal member being respectively associated with one machine sub-section and all individual sections pertaining to one and the same machine sub-section having the same length and having their end surfaces respectively located in the same vertical planes respectively arranged transverse to the longitudinal direction of said machine and passing through the adjacent supporting means defining the respective machine sub-section.
  • a textile machine comprising in combination, a plurality of longitudinal members arranged in diierent horizontal planes, each of said members being subdivided into a plurality of individual v sections of equal length so that the individual sections 0I" each longitudinal member are equal in length among each other and are also equal in length with the adjacent sections of the other longitudinal members, thereby creating a plurality of machine sub-sections with each subsection having the same length, joining means interposed between those two ends of each two individual sections which face each other to allow angular movement of said two ends relative to each other, all joining means common to the same two adjacent machine sub-sections being located in the same transverse plane, and supporting means in each of said transverse planes for supporting the respective joining means, the supporting means in each of said transverse planes being structurally separate from and adjustable independently of each other.
  • a textile machine comprising in combination, a plurality of substantially horizontally arranged sectional members, spaced supporting means supporting the ends of each section of each sectional horizontal member, the sections of all horizontal members supported by two adjacent supporting means having the same length and having their end surfaces arranged respectively in the same vertical planes, and a plurality of equal coupling means, each of said coupling means interconnecting two adjacent sections so as to allow a relative inclination between two adjacent sections.
  • a textile machine which includes adjusting means respectively operatively connected with the supporting means for adjusting said supporting means in vertical direction.
  • a textile machine comprising in combination: a plurality of supporting means spaced from -each other in the longitudinal direction of said machine, each two adjacent supporting means in the longitudinal direction of said machine dening a machine sub-section, and a plurality of longitudinal members extending in the longitudinal direction of said machine and being arranged in different horizontal planes, each of said longitudinal members being subdivided into a plurality of individual sections corresponding in number to the number of said machine subsections and being arranged so that each machine sub-section comprises one section of each of said longitudinal members, all of said individual sections pertaining to one and the same machine sub-section having the same length and while having their end surfaces respectively supported by two adjacent supporting means being arranged so that said end surfaces are respectively located in the same vertical planes respectively arranged transverse to the longitudinal direction of said machine and passing through the adjacent supporting means deiining the respective machine sub-section.
