Definitions

  • the preset invention has reference to an improved method for processing undesirable yarn conditions appearing at an automatic winding machine of the type provided with a plurality of winding units or locations, and further, to an improved apparatus for the performance of the aforesaid method.
  • Automatic winding machines are those which are at least in a position to remedy or rectify yarn rupture occurring at the winding locations as well as, if the situation requires, replacing depleted or exhausted delivery bobbins or cops with new full bobbins.
  • such winding machines exhibit one or more units, herein conveniently termed servicing unit or tending mechanism for removal or rectification of the disturbance, more specifically, the undesired yarn condition.
  • servicing unit searches for the yarn ends to be knotted together, brings them together, and is in a condition to knot them, and furthermore, is capable of removing new delivery bobbins from a delivery bobbin supply magazine or battery and after removing the sleeve of an exhausted delivery bobbin can conduct the new bobbin to the winding location.
  • such a unit i.e. servicing unit or tending mechanism for rectifying undesired yarn conditions is generally associated with a plurality of winding locations, whereby either the winding locations move relative to the unit or the unit travels relative to the winding locations, and in each case come to standstill at that winding location where an undesired yarn condition has occurred.
  • the difficulty with the servicing of a plurality of winding locations by means of a unit for removing the undesired yarn condition resides in the fact that, at the moment there appears an undesired yarn condition or disturbance at a first winding location it is possible that the aforesaid unit is occupied with a different winding location and, for such reason, cannot receive and process the error or disturbance signal now emanating from the aforesaid first winding location.
  • Another important object of this invention resides in the provision of an improved method and apparatus for processing undesired yarn conditions which may occur at the individual winding locations of an automatic winding machine, and wherein information as to the nature of the undesired yarn condition which has occurred at a particular winding location is obtained prior to coincidence or coming together of a unit for removing the un desired yarn condition and the aforesaid particular winding station or location.
  • Still a further important object of this invention resides in the provision of an improved method and apparatus for processing undesired yarn conditions which may appear at the individual winding locations of an automatic winding machine and wherein information relative to the nature of an undesired yarn condition which has occurred at a particular winding location is obtained prior to cooperative working association of the aforesaid particular winding location with a unit for removing the undesired yarn condition, and wherein the obtained information is used to prepare the unit for immediate and quick action for the purpose of rectifying the undesired yarn condition prior to the assumption of such cooperative working association of unit and particular winding location.
  • the inventive method is characterized by the features that due to the occurrence of an undesired yarn condition or disturbance at a winding location at least a further condition of the yarn is checked at the relevant winding location, and that a unit for removing the undesired yarn condition is conditioned or acted upon by virtue of an error or disturbance signal resulting from such further supervision or checking and prior to this unit beginning its undesired yarn condition-removal operation in accordance with the aforesaid error signal resulting from such further checking operation.
  • each winding location is provided with at least one feeler as well as at least a further supervising or monitoring element, and wherein the unit for remedying or rectifying the undesired yarn condition is constructed such that in consequence of an error or disturbance signal of the feeler a knotting operation is performed and in consequence of an error signal of the further supervising element an exchange of the delivery bobbin is executed, particularly after the relevant winding location and unit have arrived in a relative position necessary for disturbance removal, with the invention being characterized by the features that, the feeler for the transmission of an error signal is connected with the supervising or monitoring element in order to cause the latter to execute a checking or monitoring operation, whereby signal means are provided and operably connected with the supervising element in order to transmit to the unit an error condition determined by this supervising element.
  • a third supervising or monitoring element At least for each unit, if not in fact for each winding location, there is provided a third supervising or monitoring element. Whereas the feeler and the second supervising element are associated with the yarn path of travel between the delivery bobbin and the wind-up bobbin, the feeler and the second supervising element are associated with the yarn path of travel between the delivery bobbin and the wind-up bobbin, the
  • third supervising element is itself associated with the delivery bobbin and serves in known manner to determine the extent of the yarn package remaining at this delivery bobbin.
  • the apparatus is, moreover, advantageously constructed such that a similar error or disturbance signal for transmission to the unit is generated if either the second or the third supervising element, or both, determine a defective or error condition.
  • the supervising or monitoring'elements such are preferably feelers or scanners which in consideration of their function do not continuously monitor and, thus, are not able to deliver any continuously appearing signal by virtue of which only changes of the same can be evaluated.

Contact springs 38a cooperate with contact rails or elements 38b of the trigger circuit 38 which are located at the stationary machine base A.
  • the shafts 31 and which are operably connected for rotation with a control shaft 64 begin to rotate, whereby via the rods 29 and 34 and the arms 14 and 32 a rotation of the shafts 15 and 17 takes place in such a manner that the yarn feelers 12 and 4 are pivoted towards their inoperative position.
  • the relevant winding location is prepared for the ejection of the empty delivery bobbin 2 and the mounting of the new full delivery bobbin, as well as a drawing-in of the yarn into the balloon breaker 3.
  • the stop stirrup or bracket 7 falls forwardly and actuates, by means of its rearwardly extending arm 39, the double-acting switch 40 in such a manner that, on the one hand, the current circuit 41 is interrupted and, on the other hand, the current circuit 42 is closed.
  • the electric motor 8a which due to opening of current circuit 41 stops and thereby shuts-down the relevant winding location.
  • a pair of electromagnets 43 and 44 are parallelly connected in the current circuit 42, both of which due to closing of the aforesaid current circuit 42 respond.

  • the second electromagnet 44 displaces a control bolt 45 towards the front into position 45a, and indeed, into the operating zone of a switch 46 arranged at the stationary machine base A (FIGURES l and 2), which upon actuation interrupts the travelling motion of the revolving turret or circular table C, as soon as the relevant winding location has reached the position in front of the servicing unit D for correction of the faulty yarn condition.

  • FIGURE 5 there are illustnated details of the yarn remainder feeler 51 land, in this embodiment, such feeler exhibits two testers or scanners 52 and 53, each of which are operatively connected with an electric switch 54 land.
  • Both scanners 52 and 53 are retained under the action of spring force .in a direction towards the delivery bobbin '2 which, in this figure, hlas been shown rotated approximately 90 from its normal operating position.

  • the tester or scanner 52 closes the switch 54 without the tester or scanner 53 being able to open the switch 55.
  • the current circuit to the switch 57 is thus also closed and thereby also the current circuit 38.
  • This current circuit 38 in addition to being closed by the switch 57, can also be closed by the parallelly connected switch 37 actuated by the arm 18 and the yarn feeler 4 (FIGURES 3 and 4).
