AIRBORNE SPINNING OR TWISTING RING AND TRAVELER Filed Oct. 15, 1964 2 Sheets-Sheet 2- A' INVENTORJ R LUTTZ This invention relates to a spinning or twisting ring assembly and more particularly to the type wherein the ring is rotatable and airborne during operation.
It is an object of this invention to provide a rotatably mounted spinning or twisting ring having a traveler mounted for movement thereon wherein the friction between the ring and its holder or support is less than that between the ring and traveler during optimum operating speeds.
It is another object of invention to provide a ring assembly of the type described in which the friction resisting the rotation of the ring decreases from a point greater than to a point lesser than the friction between the traveler and ring during acceleration of the ring speed from starting position to its optimum speed, and in which this same friction correspondingly increases as the ring speed decelerates to a stop. Thus, at the beginning and at the end of a spinning cycle as the ring speed accelerates and decelerates respectively, the traveler slides relative to the ring because the spindle around which the yarn is wound rotates faster than the ring during acceleration and slower during deceleration. During the intermediate portion of the cycle, the ring and traveler rotate substantially at the same rate. It is during the above-mentioned periods of acceleration and deceleration that the traveler functions to regulate the yarn tension so as to produce substantially the same twist in the end portions of a yarn package as that in the intermediate portion. The progressively increasing friction which occurs at the end of a spinning or twisting cycle further serves as a brake to hasten the deceleration of the ring speed.
Heretofore, it has been proposed to employ air for rotatably supporting yarn twisting rings for installations in which the centrifugal force of a ballooning yarn strand is used instead of a traveler as a connection between the strand and ring and in which the ring is rotated and retarded by auxiliary power sources (see Patent Nos. 2,796,- 726 and 2,932,152). Obviously, the centrifugal force between the ballooning strand and the ring is almost negligible during the initial ring acceleration from starting position, and therefore, auxiliary power sources are necessary so that the strand will adhere to the ring and have the desired twist imparted thereto. Likewise, the centrifugal force between the ballooning strand and ring is similarly ineffective during deceleration of the ring speed.
It is a further object of invention to combine an air manifold as an integral part of a ring rail so as to supply air to a plurality of ring assemblies in lieu of the provision of a manifold in the ring holder of each assembly.
It is yet another object of invention to provide an airborne spinning or twisting ring which is rotated solely by the torque produced by its associated centrifugally actuated ring traveler.
Some of the objects of invention having been stated, other objects will appear as the description proceeds when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a plan view, partly in section and partly schematic, showing my improved ring assembly mounted on the ring rail of a spinning or twisting frame;
FIGURE 2 is a sectional view taken along line 2-2 in FIGURE 1;
3,324,643 Patented June 13, 1967 FIGURE 2A is a sectional view similar to the upper central portion of FIGURE 2, but showing a ring of smaller diameter mounted in the same ring holder;
FIGURE 3 is a perspective view, partly in section, showing further details of the assembly illustrated in FIGURES 1 and 2;
FIGURE 4 is a perspective view, partly in section, showing a modified form of invention in which the ring rail has a manifold incorporated therein as a common source of pressurized air for a plurality of ring assemblies made in accordance with the invention, and
FIGURE 5 is a vertical sectional view of another modified form of invention wherein a porous metallic filter is employed in supporting the ring upon an air cushion.
Referring more specifically to the drawings, the numeral 10 denotes the ring rail of a spinning or twisting frame, said rail having an annular flanged ring holder 11 secured thereto as at 12 by any suitable means such as a pressed fit (FIGS. 1 and 2). Ring holder 11 has a vertically disposed bore therein in which is rotatably mounted the lower skirt rim or margin portion 151: of an annular spinning or twisting ring 15, the outside diameter of portion 15:: being smaller than the inside diameter of the ring holder bore so as to provide an annular clearance 17 therebetween of about .001.
The upper portion of ring 15 is provided with a conventional horizontal flange 15]) upon which a traveler 18 is mounted; and the intermediate portion of the ring has a peripheral flange which overlaps the upper horizontal surface 13 of the ring holder 11. Traveler 18 is adapted to be moved around and in sliding engagement with ring flange 15b under the influence of a yarn strand 19, said strand passing downwardly in a well-known manner from drafting rolls (not shown), beneath the arch of traveler l8, and then laterally onto yarn package 20. Package 29 is wound upon a bobbin or holder 21 removably mounted upon vertically disposed spindle 22. The ring holder 11, ring 15, yarn package 20, and yarn holder 21 are each substantially concentric with spindle 22.
Pressurized gas or air is supplied to manifold 11c from compressed air tank 26 by means of a conduit 27, said conduit having a pressure regulator 28 and a control valve 29 therein. Valve 29 is opened and closed by a solenoid 30 which is connected in series with the starting and stopping controls 32 of the spinning or twisting frame by means of electrical conduits 33 and 34. Thus, when the current to the controls 32 is shut off, as by opening a switch 36, the solenoid 3t) will be actuated to close valve 29 to stop the flow of gas or air to the ring holder manifold lllc.
The ring holder portions 11a and 1112 may be manufactured from metallic or non-metallic material, the choice of materials depending upon the nature and conditions of mill operation.
Each ring holder assembly preferably has four equally spaced vertical holes 25 and eight equally spaced horizontal holes 24, the latter holes radiating from a common manifold 110. The number and size of the holes may vary in order to insure optimum performance so long as the holes are equally spaced.
The air supply line 27 is connected to the annular manifold 110 of each ring assembly and the pressure may be as low as one pound per square inch. The air or gas is expelled from manifold 11c horizontally and vertically so as to cause the ring 15 to float and freely rotate on a cushion of air. The vertical holes 25 provide the vertical lift while the radial holes 24 provide selfcentering action of the ring 15 relative to holder 11.
The above-described pneumatically suspended ring permits twisting of yarns at speeds considerably in excess of 20,000 revolutions per minute when used in association with the traveler 18. The traveler is used as a weight tension device to promote the drag necessary to create the winding of the package and also serves as a strand guide. Ring 15 accelerates from a stand-still to a rotational speed of approximately 15,000 revolutions per minute in less than one minute.
At the beginning of a spinning or twisting cycle and until the ring achieves its maximum optimum speed, it is lagging behind the traveler because the friction between the traveler and ring is insufiicient to overcome the ring inertia immediately at the beginning; however, when the optimum speed has been attained the traveler and ring will rotate substantially at the same rate thereby eliminating friction and wear between the two elements. By substantially eliminating the traveler-ring wear, it is evident that the principal remaining traveler wear will result from yarn cut. 7
The air suspension of ring 15 virtually eliminates impingement of the traveler against the ring because the ring floats up and down in the holder in accordance with the amount of yarn tension. Actual mill tests have shown that the number of ends down, or yarn breakage, per 1000 spindle hours is substantially less because of the damping effect of the free-floating ring.
The air or gas which suspends the ring is constantly exhausting from clearance 17 between the ring and holder and from horizontal clearance 38 between the inner opposed surfaces of ring flange 15c and the top surface of the holder (FIGURE 2), thereby blowing lint and foreign contamination from the adjacent parts and providing a self-cleaning action.
Should it be required to stop the ring 15 quickly for dofling or other purposes, the air supply is turned off by opening switch 36 (FIGURE 1) causing the ring to seat or settle upon surface 13 of the ring holder during which a progressively increasing braking action occurs. As previously stated, the closing of control valve 29 causes the gas or air supply to cease simultaneously with the cessation of operating current to the spinning or twisting frame. When the air or gas supply is turned off, the ring should cease rotation at approximately the same time as the spindle 22. Otherwise, the yarn may tangle around the bobbin 21. However, if instances of entanglement occur, the traveler continues to move around the ring flange a number of revolutions to eliminate the entanglement.
The ring holder 11 may be constructed to accommodate the largest gauge of spinning or twisting frame so that only one basic size of ring holder is employed as shown in FIGURE 2A. By providing an adapter ring 41 for each smaller sized spinning or twisting ring, the ring holder portions 15a and 150 as well as the supporting ring holder 11 may be used for any size of spinning or twisting ring, thereby adapting the present invention to all existing spinning and twisting machines Without major modifications.
The tests conducted with the above-described assembly revealed that the yarn quality was equal to or better than that produced from the conventional types of rings. In other words, the twist per inch, break strength, uniformity, and weight of the yarn compared quite favorably with yarns produced when using conventional rings.
The airborne ring assembly according to the present invention can also be employed without individual ring holders by using a continuous ring rail 42. Ring rail 42 is channel-shaped in cross-section and comprises a pair of spaced elongated webs 4212 which are joined together by a pair of spaced transversely disposed elongated flanges to thereby form an elongated manifold chamber 43. This chamber provides a common source of pressurized air supply for all of the assemblies on the rail (FIGURE 4). At each ring assembly, the spaced Webs 42a have a pair of alined transverse openings extending therethrough, each pair of said openings having a ring holder bushing 45 secured therein by any suitable means such as a press fit. Chamber 43 communicates with the respective vertically disposed annular clearances 17 by means of horizontally and radially disposed openings 44 in bushing 45 and with the horizontal clearances 38 between flanges 15c and 45a by means of vertically disposed openings 47, 47a, the latter holes being provided in contiguous horizontal portions 42a and 45a respectively.
The ring assembly 50 shown in FIGURE 5 is substantially the same as that in FIGURE 2 except for the substitution of annular porous powder metal filter elements 51 and 52 for the horizontal and vertical holes 24 and 25 respectively. The elements 51 and 52 conduct the gas or air from the ring manifold 11c and uniformly distribute it around the adjoining clearances 17 and 38. Filter elements 51 and 52 serve as parts of the lateral supporting surface for rim 15a and the vertical supporting surface for flange 15c when the gas or air pressure is cut off. Since these supporting surfaces are made of powdered metal which inherently have a higher coefficient of friction, a correspondingly greater resistance will be offered to the rotation of the ring at the end of a spinning or twisting operation.
