Definitions

  • the spindles on one machine side are not arranged along a straight line but along an arch while, if desired, a plurality of arches are provided one behind the other.
  • the belt is customarily driven at one station.
  • the number of the spindles which may be driven by one belt is limited because, otherwise, the turning forces become too high in order to permit admissible dimensions for a drive by a belt.
  • the cross section of the belts must not exceed certain dimensions because, otherwise, it will not be possible to sufiiciently pre-tension the belt to assure a proper frictional engagement of the Walls.
  • the number of spindles adapted to be driven by such belts is limited which, in turn, brings about other drawbacks.
  • Still another object of this invention consists in the provision of a drive for spinning or twisting spindles, which will make it possible to take the long belt out of the range of the operator thereby making it possible to increase the speed of rotation of the belt without endangering the operator.
  • Still another object of the present invention consists in providing a drive for spinning and twisting spindles which will cause the belt to rotate in such a way that the air current caused thereby will practically have no influence on the thread or thread path.
  • a still further object of the present invention consists in providing a drive for spinning and twisting spindles which will make it possible, in case the shielding walls or plates are provided to extend such walls or plates between the individual spindles up to below the driving whorls of the spindle so that each spindle will, so to speak, rotate in a closed chamber and will not be harmfully affected by other rotating parts.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a drive according to the invention for spinning and/or twisting spindles, the View ofVFIG. 1 being taken along the line lI of FIG. 2 but being shown on a somewhat larger scale than that of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic top View of a drive according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows a modified drive according to the" invention as seen along the line III-III of FIG. 4, but on a larger scale than the latter. 7
  • FIG. 4 is a top view of the modified drive of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 5 is a view of a still further modified drive according to the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a diagrammatic top view of the spindle drive of FIG. 5 but on a smaller scale than the latter.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a pulley with a toothed running, sur face for the tangential belt.
  • FIG. 7a is a top view of the tangential belt.
  • FIG. 7b diagrammatically illustrates the meshing of the tangential belt with the toothed transmission pulley.
  • FIG. 8 is a transmission pulley around which two belts pass and the running surface of which for the tangential belt is provided with teeth between the said two belts.
  • FIG. 8a shows a top view of the tangential belts of FIG. 8.
  • FIG. 8b diagrammatically illustrates a section through the tangential belt while meshing with the teeth of the transmission pulley of FIG. 8.
  • FIG. 9 shows a two-part transmission pulley.
  • FIG. 10 represents a transmission pulley engaged by the tangential belt between two belts passing around the transmission pulley.
  • FIG. 11 shows a three-part or three-sectional transmission pulley in which the intermediate partial pulley is engaged by the tangential belt while the axle of the threepart transmission pulley is journalled in the spindle rail between the sectional pulleys.
  • the present invention is characterized primarily in that the transmission pulleys which are adapted to be driven by tangential long belts simultaneously drive the spindles through the intervention of short belts or cords.
  • the transmission pulley is driven by a long belt which simultaneously drives a plurality of transmission pulleys in the same way and tangentially in the same manner as with the heretofore known machines, the drive of the spindle or the whorls thereof being effected directly.
  • one spidle may be driven by one or a plurality of superimposed belts or cords.
  • the transmission pulleys may, in their turn, likewise be driven by one or a plurality of long belts which simultaneously drive a plurality of transmission pulleys.
  • the diameter of the spindle whorl shorter than the diameter of the transmission pulleys, whereby a transmission is obtained which makes it possible relatively slowly to rotate the tangential long belt which drives the transmission pulleys, while, due to the inter-position of the transmission pulley, a transmission in speed increasing direction will be obtainable.
  • the diameter of the transmission pulley within the range of contact of the tangential long belt may be selected shorter in conformity with the transmission than the diameter of the transmission pulley within the range of the short belt passing around said transmission pulley, said short belt being passed around the spindle whorl.
  • the arrangement may be such that an imaginary connecting line connecting the axes of a plurality of transmission pulleys forms a slightly curved arch so that the axes of the transmission pulleys are arranged in the same manner as it is known sometimes with belt drives for spindles according to which the belts directly engage the spindle whorls and, in this instance, the spindle axes are located along a slightly curved arch. In this way, a rotation of the transmission rollers by the tangential long belts will be assured in a manner known per se.
  • the transmission pulleys may be displaceable along the horizontal line perpendicular to the connection line of the spindle axes so that a transmission pulley may be stopped by moving the transmission pulley away from the tangential belt. This will automatically stop the spindle which is driven by the transmission pulley through a short belt or cord.
  • a displacement of the transmission pulley in opposite direction also brings about an additional tightening of the tangential long belt or the tightening of the short belt or cord.
  • the transmission pulleys are, in conformity with the present invention, embraced by a plurality of belts or cords arranged one above the other, said belts or cords respectively passing around the whorl of one or more spindles.
  • a relatively compact construction will be obtained in conformity with the present invention by causing the tangential long belt approximately in the plane of the belt loop to engage the running surface of the transmission pulley above the short belts or cords radially passing over the transmission pulley.
  • the running surface of the transmission roller may be provided with at least one groove in which moves the short belt or cord around the pulley.
  • the Width of the running surface of the transmission pulley may correspond to the width of the tangential long belt, while the said groove determines the cross section of the short belt or cord which passeses around the transmission pulley and around the whorl of the spindles.
  • the running surface of the transmission pulley may be designed as a V-shaped groove which is engaged by the short belts or cords and also by the tangential long belt in a radially superimposed position.
  • other cross sections may be selected.
  • a short belt or cord, as well as the tangential long belt may be designed as flat belt, round belt, V-belt, or the like.
  • the tangential long belt and/or the short belt may be designed as a toothed belt.
  • the transmission pulley may be subdivided horizontally for receiving a plurality of short belts or cords in conformity with the number of superimposed belts or cords.
  • the sectional rollers may be independent of each other and may be axially superimposed upon each other and may be driven by tangential long belts. This alfords the possibility of holding the cross section of the tangential long belt relatively small so that the main driving rollers of the machine can be snugly embraced by the tangential long belt.
  • the tension may be inc eased so that, also, at high speeds and in spite of occurring centrifugal forces, a proper turning will be assured.
  • a further improvement in the mounting will be obtained by causing the tangential long belt to engage the transmission pulley journalled approximately in the horizontal plane of the spindle rail, while the transmission pulleys embraced by the short belts or cords and having their axes aligned are provided below and/or above the spindle rail.
  • the transmission pulleys and spindles may in a manner known per se be mounted in the spindle rail, and the driving elements may be covered above and/ or below the spindle rail by detachable closure means.
  • the entire drive will be located within a closed housing while nevertheless be easily accessible. This brings about the particular advantage that the air movements caused by the movement of the belts, cords, and short belts can be effective only within a covered case, while they cannot cause or bring about any influence upon the threads of the spindles and the guiding paths therefor.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a spindle rail 1 having mounted thereon the spindle generally designated 2.
  • the spindle 2 is provided with a whorl 3, around which passes a belt 4 engaging a V-shaped groove 5 of a transmission pulley generally designated 6.
  • the belt 4 embraces the transmission pulley 6 by about 180.
  • the pulley 6 is journalled on a shaft 8 through the intervention of an anti-friction bearing 7.
  • Shaft 8 is firmly connected to the spindle rail 1 by means of a nut 9.
  • shaft 8 may be displaced in a slot 10 of the spindle rail 1 to thereby vary the tension of belt 4.
  • a change in the tension of belt 4 will automatically bring about a change in the tension of belt 14, which latter is located in a second V-shaped groove of pulley 6 and embraces the latter by an angle of 180, while being passed around the whorl 3 of another spindle 2, not shown in FIG. 1, but clearly shown in FIG. 2.
  • pulley 6 has a running surface 11 extending nearly over the entire width. This running surface is engaged by the tangential long belt 12 designed as a flat belt.
  • the tangential long belt 12 is radial ly above belts 4 and 14 and, when being driven, drives pulley 6.
  • FIG. 2 diagrammatically illustrating a plurality of spindles 2 located one adjacent the other, each being driven in conformity with FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 2 in addition to showing the guiding of the belt 4, also illustrates the guiding of belt 14.
  • each pulley 6 drives two spindles 2 by belts 4 and 14.
  • the shafts 8 of pulleys 6 are connected to the spindle rail 1 along a slightly curved line or arch, the curvature of said arch being variable by displacing the shafts 3 in slots 10 of the spindle rail 1 whereby, also, the tension of the tangential long belt 12 and the tension of belts 4 and 14 may be varied.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate a modification, according to which the transmission rollers 16 are arranged with regard to the spindle 17 in a manner similar to the arrangement of the transmission pulley 6 with regard to the spindies 2. This is clearly evident from FIG. 4.
  • the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4 dirlers, however, from that of FIGS. 1 and 2 in that the whorl 18 has two V-grooves 19. The lower V-groove 19 is engaged by the cord 20, whereas cord 21 passes around the upper V-groove 19 of whorl 18 of another spindle 17.
  • the transmission pulley 16 is provided with two V-grooves 22 engaged by cords 20 and 21, whereas further radially outwardly, there are arranged tangential long belts 23 of a round cross section. While it is suflicient to drive the transmission pulley by means a single tangential longitudinal belt 23, it is advantageous, in case higher driving forces are to be transmitted, to employ two tangential longitudinal belts of round cross section which are superimposed in vertical direction with regard to FIG. 3 and engage V-grooves 22 of the pulley 16.
  • the pulley 16 is similar to the arrangement of FIGS. 1 and 2, adjustably mounted in the spindle rail 1.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate a drive in which the spindle 24 and the transmission pulley 25 are journalled in the spindle rail 1 similar to the manner described above.
  • the arrangement of FIGS. 5 and 6 difiers, however, from the previously described arrangements in that the spindle 24 has an outwardly curved whorl 26 which is embraced by a fiat belt 27, which latter also embraces an outwardly curved running surface 28 of a pulley 25.
  • the diameter of the pulley 25 is more than twice the diameter of the running surface of whorl 26 so that a step-up transmission will be obtained.
  • the pulley 25 is provided with a V-groove 30 which is engaged by a tangential long belt 29 which is designed as a V-belt.
  • the diameter of the pulley 25 where it is engaged by the tangential long belt 29 is considerably less than the diameter of the running surface for belt 27. Also, this difference in diameters brings about a certain transmission ratio.
  • the tangential long belt 29 engages that side of the pulley 25 which faces the spindles 24.
  • the pulleys 25 arranged adjacent each other are likewise mounted along a slightly curved line which, however, is curved toward the spindles 24 arranged along a straight line.
  • FIGS. 7 to 10 illustrate various embodiments of transmission rollers, tangential long belts and short belts and cords.
  • the running surface 42 for belt 43 passing around the spindle whorl is located in the central portion of the roller 41.
  • teeth 44 adapted to mesh with the likewise toothed tangential long belt 45.
  • FIGS. 7a and 7b The structure of said belt 45 and its cooperation with the teeth 44 of the roller 41 is clearly evident from FIGS. 7a and 7b.
  • the tangential long belt 46 engages the transmission roller 47 along the central portion thereof, whereas on both sides thereof are provided V-grooves 48 which are engaged by the belts 49 passing around the roller 47.
  • the tangential long belt 46 is provided with passages 50 which correspond to the teeth 51 at the outer circumference of the roller 47.
  • two transmission rollers are mounted on a common axle 52 one above the other.
  • the partial clamping rollers 53 and 54 are equipped with V- grooves 56 engaged by the short belts 57 which pass around the rollers 53 and 54 respectively, whereas radially located above said belts 57 the transmission rolleris engaged by the tangential long belt 58.
  • the transmission roller 59 has its outer circumference provided with three V-grooves 60, 61. While the outer V-grooves 60 are to be engaged by the cords 62 leading to the spindles, the V-groove 61 is to be engaged by the tangential long belt 63 between the two belts 62.
  • FIG. 11 A similar construction is disclosed in FIG. 11 which latter difiers from FIG. 10 in various respects.
  • the arrangement according to FIG. 11 comprises three sectional transmission rollers 64, 66 and 65 which are axially superimposed and keyed to the axle 67.
  • the V-groove 71 of the central sectional roller 66 will be engaged by the tangential long belt 72 which has a V-shaped cross section.
  • the central sectional roller 66 has its central plane located in the central plane of the spindle rail 75 which is forked and which receives the sectional roller 66 between the fork prongs 74.
  • the axle or axle stud 67 is jonrnalled in the two antifriction bearings 73 on both sides of the sectional roller 66.
  • the arrangement is such that the two antifriction bearings 73 are mounted in the fork prongs 74 of the spindle rail 75.
  • the two fork prongs 74 may, if desired, be displaceable in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the spindle 70 in order in this way to vary the tension of belts 68 or of the tangential long belt 72 as it has been described in connection with FIG. 1.
  • each belt 68 associated with one or more spindles somewhat along the construction shown by way of example in FIG. 5.
  • the short belts and the tangential belts may have diiferent cross sections, and the belts may actually be replaced by cords.
  • the position of the transmission roller regardless whether it consists of one part only or has a plurality of parts, may with regard to the spindles be selected in different ways as will be evident with regard to FIGS. 2, 4, and 6.
  • the present invention has created an intermediate drive which makes it possible that any occurring oscillations of the long tangential belt driving the transmission rollers will have no harmful effect upon the spindles.
