Definitions

  • This invention relates to an automatic bobbin transfer device and more particularly to a device for the automatic transfer of yarn from a full bobbin to an empty bobbin as the yarn is being wound on a drawtwist machine.
  • the invention in its preferred form comprises a turntable upon the opposite sides of which are rotatably mounted the bobbins to be filled with yarn. Means are provided to continuously rotate these bobbins while the turntable upon which they are mounted is vertically reciprocated so that the bobbins move in a traversing relationship to a fixed traveler ring which is algned about one of said bobbins. When the bobbin becomes full the reciprocation is halted while the turntable is rotated to place the empty bobbin in operational relationship with the traveler ring.
  • FIGURE 1 shows a side elevational view partly in section of a preferred embodiment of the invention
  • FIGURE 2 shows a side elevational view of the apparatus similar to FIGURE 1 at a different stage of the operation
  • FIGURE 3 is a top plan view of the apparatus shown in FIGURE 1.
  • reference numeral indicates a turntable assembly which includes a base support 12 and a cover plate 14. United to the bottom of the base support 12 is a base plate 16 having sockets 17 and 17. A ring gear 19 is secured to the bottom of the base support 12, so that the teeth thereof extend somewhat beyond the peripheral edge of the base support (FIGURE 3).
  • Reference numeral 20 indicates a pinion mounted on a shaft 21 and driven by a transfer motor 22.
  • the pinion 20 is adapted to engage the ring gear 19 for rotation of the entire turntable assembly.
  • Reference numerals 24 and 24' indicate shafts which are journaled within bearings 26 and 26' and which shafts support and are keyed to driven gears 28 and 28'.
  • Reference numerals 30 and 30' denote conical apexes of the shafts 24 and 24'.
  • Reference numeral 32 indicates a central elongated pinion or toothed shaft which is supported on a shaft 34 which is driven by a motor 36.
  • the top part of the shaft 34 extending above the central pinion or toothed shaft 32 is journaled within a bearing 38, which bearing is located within a bearing support arm 40.
  • the motor 36 and the transfer motor 22 are mounted on the machine frame base, which is indicated by the reference numeral 41.
  • Reference numerals 42 and 42' denote bobbins which are mounted on spindle assemblies or bobbin holders 44 and 44', said spindle assemblies being adapted to engage the shaft apexes 30 and 30' so as to be rotated by the shafts 24 and 24'.
  • Reference numerals 46 and 46' denote reciprocating rods connected to pistons within air cylinders 47 and 47'.
  • the air cylinders are shown fragmenfarily since the particular structure and arrangement of the fluid conduits and valves are conventional and, as such, form no part of the present invention. Nevertheless, means are provided so that said rods 46 and 46' may be moved from a lowermost nonreciprocating or transfer pcsition (FIGURE 2) to a raised reciprocating or cperative position as shown in FIGURE 1. In this latter position, the path of reciprocation is of such a length as to permit the bobbin 42' to traverse a traveler ring 48 within the area covered by a yarn package 49.
  • annular plate 50 Attached to the top of the rods 46 and 46 is an annular plate 50 having an upwardly extending side flange 51. Also extending upwardly from the annular plate 50 are stop pins 52 and 52 which are adapted for insertion into the sockets 17 and 17' so as to prevent rotation of the turntable assembly during the reciprocating movement (FIGURE 1).
  • Reference numerals 54 and 54 indicate depressions in the face of the machine frame base 41 to accommodate the top flange sections 53 and 53' of the rods 46 and 46' when the rods are at their lowermost position (FIGURE 2).
  • Reference numerals 56 and 56 indicate solenoids which are mounted on opposite sides of the turntable cover plate 14 by brackets 58 and S8.
  • Bifurcated fingers 6t] and 60 extend from the solenoids (FIGURE 3) and are sloped or beveled in such a manner so as to lift and disengage the spindle assemblies 44 and 44 from the shaft apexes 30 and 30' when the solenoids are actuated.
  • FIG- URE 1 shows the solenoid 56 so actuated.
  • the reference numeral 49 denotes a yarn package which is wound on the bobbin 4
  • the thread line indicated by the reference numeral 64, descends from the feed bobbin and other guide elements (not shown) before it passes through a traveler 66 which is mounted for rotation about the traveler ring 48 in the conventional manner.
  • the traveler ring is mounted on a portion 70 of the machine frame so that it is stationary with regard to the bobbin reciprocating within it.
  • Reference numeral 71 denotes rollers which are mounted upon spacer supports 72 affixed to the machine frame base 41 by bolts 73 and nuts 74. Three of these assemblies are spaced at equidistant points beneath the turntable assembly to prevent the turntable assembly from descending to a lower position than is illustrated in FIG- URE 2. In this position the pinion 20 engages the, ring gear 19 to rotate the turntable assembly supported through the ring gear 1'? on the rollers 71'.
  • the startup is commenced by energizing the motor 36 to rotate the elongated central pinion or toothed shaft 32, which moves the gears 28 and 28 and thereby the bobbins 42 and 42'.
  • the air-cylinder system is actuated to reciprocate the rods 46' and 46 which reciprocate the turntable assembly it? mounted thereon and. thence the rotating bobbins 42 and 42.
  • the operation of the air cylinders is controlled by well-known apparatus, illustrated diagrammatically at 77,
  • thread line now commences winding on the bobbin 42' within the traveler ring 48 and the, thread line passing from the empty bobbin to the full bobbin 42 is pulled taut by virtue. of the fact that the full bobbin is still being driven. the two bobbins causes the line to break, whereupon the yarn continuesto be wound upon the newly started bobbin reciprocating within the traveler ring 48.
  • the solenoid 56' (FTGURE, 1) is now energized by conventional means (not shown) and the bifurcated finger 60 moves towards the right whereupon the beveled edge of the finger slides beneath the lower portion of the spindle assembly 44' to lift this assembly out of engagement with the apex 3d of the shaft 24.
  • the full bobbin 42 ceases to rotate and can be easily removed by the operator and replaced by an empty bobbin.
  • the solenoid 56' is then deenergized to withdrawn the bifurcated finger 6th and the newly inserted bobbin is placed in frictional engagernent with the apex 30' so as to begin rotation therewith.
  • a yarn Winding apparatus comprising a base, a traveler ring mounted on the base, a turntable movably mounted on the base, a bobbin holder rotatably mounted on the turntable, a driven gear carried by the turntable and connected to the bobbin holder, an elongated driving gear rotatably mounted on the base and meshed with the driven gear, means on the base for actuating the elongated gear to drive the bobbin holder, means on the base for rotating the turntable to align the bobbin holder coaxially with the traveler ring, and means on the base for reciprocating the turntable relative to the traveler ring.
