Definitions

  • This invention generally relates to improvements in the art of clearing textile rolls, especially fluted drafting rolls, of drawing frames and similar textile machinery to prevent accumulation of broken ends, fly, lint and other waste material from collecting on the cylindrical roll surfaces.
  • the fluted portions or boss portions of textile rolls are of relatively large diameter as compared to the roller necks or reduced journal portions thereof.
  • the reduced journal portions of the drafting rolls of drawing frames are generally mounted in bearing members which are, in turn, positioned in roll stands, the ends of the bearing members being spaced from the enlarged fluted or boss portions of the corresponding rolls.
  • FIG. 1 is a top plan view of the improved clearer apparatus showing the same mounted on a drawing frame, with portions of the drawing frame and the apparatus broken away;
  • Figuie 3 is an enlarged transverse vertical sectional view taken substantially alongline 33 in Figure 2;
  • Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary longitudinal vertical view taken substantially along line 4--4 in Figure 3 and showing in, particular, how each end of the upper and lower suction heads bear against corresponding bearing members;
  • Figure 6 is an isometric view showing a pairof top and bottom rolls with portions of the bearing members in which opposite ends thereof are journaled and showing the corresponding suction heads cooperating therewith;
  • Figure 7 is a fragmentary transverse vertical sectional View taken substantially along line 77 in Figure 4;
  • Figure 8 is an isometric View similar to Figure 6 showing a modified form of suction head
  • Figure 9 is a transverse vertical sectional view taken substantially along line 99 in Figure 8.
  • Figure 10 is an enlarged longitudinal vertical sectional view taken substantially along line Iii-10 in Figure 8, the central portion being broken away, and showing portions of corresponding roll stands associated therewith.
  • the present method is carried out by means of an improved clearing apparatus shown in association with a textile drawing frame, although it is to be understood that the improved clearer apparatus may be used in association with any type of textile machine having rolls for attenuating or drafting fibrous strands, such as a spinning frame, roving frame or the like.
  • the drawing frame shown herein is provided with four sets of top and bottom drafting rolls in each roll section, but it is to be understood that a greater or lesser number of drafting rolls may be employed and that all the drafting rolls need not be of the fluted type.
  • the numeral 10 broadly designates a frame of the drawing frame or machine including a head-end frame member 11 which contains conventional driving mechanism, not shown, and which supports one end of a beam 12 on which a plurality of longitudinally spaced roll stand supports are mounted, there being four such roll stand supports shown in Figures 1 and 2 indicated at 13, 14, 15 and 16.
  • the beam 12 is also supported by a foot-end frame member 17.
  • the rear side of the machine appears in the lower portion of Figure 1 and is shown partially in section in Figure 2 wherein it will be observed that the rear portions of the roll stand supports 313 through 16 support a platform 20 (see also Figure 3).
  • the forward portions of the roll stands 13 through 16 each supports a plurality of substantially U-shaped bearing blocks or roll stands 21 which roll stands support a plurality of roll series or sections, there being four such roll sections shown in Figure 1 generally designated at A, B, C and D, the proximal portions of the roll sections C, D being broken away.
  • the parts heretofore described are conventional parts vof a drawing frame and it is with such or similar parts that the present invention is adapted to be associated, it being well known that the roll stands 21, 21a and 211') are adjustably mounted on the corresponding roll stand supports 13, 14, 15 and 16 in a conventional manner to permit adjustment of the rolls in each section relative to each other, depending upon the length of the fibers in the material being processed.
  • One way in which the surfaces 74, 75 may be formed concentric with the surfaces 72 on the end closure members 71, and so the surfaces 74, 75 may be accurately spaced from the periphery of the corresponding roll when installed, is to move the open end of the corresponding suction head 65 into engagement with an abrading tool, reamer or other cutting tool having opposite end portions thereof of a diameter equal to the diameter of the enlarged portions of the bearing members 52 and having an enlarged medial portion of a diameter slightly greater than the diameter of the roll adjacent which the correspending suction head 65 is to be installed.
  • each of the tubular projections 81 of the suction heads 65 each face in the opposite direction from the opening in the tubular portion 81 of the adjacent suction head 65 in the same roll section.
  • the air exhaust openings in the tubular projections 81 face in opposite directions in alternation. While this may not be entirely necessary, it is desirable due to the necessary close proximity of adjacent top and bottom rolls, since each of the tubular projections 81 has a pliable or flexible conduit 82 connected thereto which, for the sake of convenience, is preferably of greater external diameter than the diameter of the top and bottom rolls in each section.
  • each of thesets of bearing blocks or roll stands 21, 21a, 21b has an elongated hollow header or manifold overlying the same, the manifolds disposed above the respective roll stand supports 13, 1 1, 15 and 16 being indicated at 83, 84, 85 and 86.
  • the manifolds 83 through 86 may be secured' to the corresponding sets of roll stands 21, 21a, 21b, but are preferably spaced therefrom or rest lightly upon the same in order to permit the roll stands in each set to be adjusted relative to each other.
  • the manifolds 83 through 36 extendrearwardly of the corresponding roll stands and are fixed to the upper ends of respective posts or standards 87 whose lower ends rest upon and are suitably secured to the plate 20.
  • conduits $2 extending from the first and third suction heads 65 above the roll section B are communicatively connected to the opposite side of the intermediate manifold 84 from that side to which the two conduits 82 from the roll section A are connected while the second and fourth conduits 82 extending from the suction heads 65 in the roll section B are communicatively connected to corresponding sides of the second intermediate manifold 85, the conduits 82 in the roll sections C and D also being similarly arranged.
  • the lower suction heads 65' are substantially the same as the upper suction heads 65 and, as best shown in Figure 5, the flexible or pliable conduits 82 of each roll section extend outwardly in opposite directions in alternation from the respective tubular extensions 81.
  • Alternative flexible conduits 82' are communicatively connected to a manifold 122 and the other flexible conduits 82' associated with the same roll section are connected to a manifold 123.
  • a pair of manifolds 122, 123 is provided between each adjacent pair of roll stand supports and extends substantially parallel to the roll stand supports.
  • each lower manifold 122, 123 is clampingly secured in a substantially C-shaped bracket 125 whose free ends are urged toegther by a screw 128 ( Figure 3).
  • Each C- shaped clamp member 125 is suitably secured to or integral with a standard 129 suitably secured to the upper surface of the beam 12 of the frame 10.
  • the edges of the side walls 66, 67 and 66', 67 of the respective suction heads 65, 65 are disposed in such close proximity to the peripheries of enlarged fluted or boss portions 60 and 44 of the corresponding rolls as to substantially prevent passage of air therebetween.
  • the opposite ends of each suction head extend beyond opposite ends of the enlarged sponding suction head.
  • the air moves generally transversely to the fibers being processed and, since the fibers accumulate in the flutes of the fluted rolls to a greater extent than they normally do on the outer surfaces of the ridges formed by the flutes, the air moves generally parallel to the flutes and has a raking efiect on any fibers tending to accumulate in the flutes of the rolls.
  • the fibers are drawn from the roll and are exh-austed to the collection and suction device.
  • FIGS 8, 9 and 10 amodified form of the invention is shown wherein upper and lower suction heads are respectively broadly designated at and 135'.
  • These suction heads 135, 135 are quite similar to the first forms of suction heads 65, 65' with the primary exception that the body of each of the suction heads 135, 135 is of the same depth throughout the length thereof so the suction heads are substantially segmentally circular or semi-circular in cross-section.
  • the radius of the body portion of each of the suction heads 135, 135 is preferably less than the radius of the boss portion or fluted portion of the corresponding rolls so that the distance between opposite edges thereof is less than the diameter of the boss or fluted portions of the rolls.
  • the body portions may extend through an arc greater than 180 and then be of greater radius than the rolls, just so long as opposed edges of the body portion are spaced close enough together to be spaced very close to the boss or fluted portion.
  • the method of cleaning textile rolls to prevent accumulations of lint, fly and the like thereon which includes applying suction in a confined air channel longitudinally of the periphery of each roll while causing currents effected by the suction to flow generally longitudinally of each roll and outwardly from each roll.
  • the method of removing residual fibers from enlarged portions of textile rolls which includes confining a substantial portion of the periphery of each roll throughout the length thereof while creating suction currents in the confined portion and influencing the suction currents to move in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of each roll.
  • a drafting mechanism having serially arranged spaced sets of top and bottom rolls; the combination of an individual suction head for each such roll having side walls defining a longitudinally extending slot therein communicating with the corresponding roll, said side walls being disposed in close proximity to and out of engagement with the periphery of the corresponding roll, means forming an opening in each end of each suction head, and means for effecting moving currents of air into said openings and within each of said suction heads for carrying away lint and the like removed from the corresponding rolls by the currents of air.
  • a suction head for rolls of the latter character comprising elongated side walls defining a longitudinally extending slot therebetween communicating with the corresponding roll, means to support said side walls so as to maintain the same in close proximity to but out of engagement with the periphery of the corresponding roll, said side walls extending beyond at least one end of the roll to form an ingress opening in the corresponding end of the suction head, and means for effecting moving currents of air into said opening and within said suction head for carrying away lint and the like removed from the corresponding roll by the currents of air.
  • a suction head for each of said rolls comprising an elongated enclosure having a slot extending substantially throughout the length thereof and communicating with the periphery of the boss portion, opposite edges of the enclosure defining said slot being disposed in closely spaced relationship to the periphery of the boss portion, said slot extending beyond at least one end of the corresponding boss portion to provide an air ingress opening thereat, communicative means between a source of suction and a portion of said suction head substantially opposite from the corresponding roll whereby air is drawn into said ingress opening and generally longitudinally of the coresponding roll for removing loose'fly, lint and other waste material resulting from the drafting operation.
  • a suction head for each of said rolls comprising an elongated enclosure having a slot extending substantially throughout the length thereof and communicating with the periphery of the boss portion, opposite edges of the enclosure defining said slot being disposed in closely spaced relationship to the periphery of the boss portion, said slot extending beyond opposite ends of the corresponding boss portion to provide air ingress openings thereat, communicative means between a source of suction and a portion of said suction head substantially opposite from the corresponding roll whereby the air is drawn into said ingress openings and generally longitudinally of the corresponding roll for removing loose fly, lint and other Waste material resulting from a drafting operation.
