- the present invention relates to a method of and apparatus for automatically feeding cops of spun yarn to an automatic Winder from a spinning frame.
- an object of the present invention to provide a method of ⁇ and an apparatus for fully automatizing the steps between the spinning operation and the winding operation, whereby the cops from the spinning frame are fed into the automatic Winder Without requiring labor.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a method of and an apparatus for Weighing the individual cops automatically at a point intermediate the process of automatic feeding of the cops from the spinning frame to the automatic Winder so as to discriminate and segregate underweight cops.
- the cops being delivered from the spinning frame are sus- 3,410,406 Patented Nov. 12, 1968 ICC pended from a conveyor travelling around said spinning frame (hereinafter referred to as spinning frame conveyor), by means of the attractive force of magnets provided on said conveyor; automatically detached from said conveyor at a predetermined point in the path of the conveyor to drop them into respective cylindrical hollow holders being carried on another conveyor; transported onto an accumulation conveyor successively as they are held in said holders; taken out from said accumulation conveyor as required; and dropped from the holders to be fed in the automatic Winder, the resulting empty holders being recirculated to the original positions for receiving new cops dropped from said spinning frame conveyor.
- spinning frame conveyor a conveyor travelling around said spinning frame
- the cops in the aforementioned series of operation, are caused to pass through a Weight discriminator for segregation in terms of Weight, before being transported onto the accumulation conveyor, and the cops having a prescribed Weight are dropped downwardly to be fied into the Winder and the resulting empty holders are recirculated for the next cycle of operation, Whereas the underweight cops are chuted down into an underweight cop accumulation box at a predetermined point and the holders emptied by said cops are similarly returned to the positions Where new cops are dropped therein from the spinning frame conveyor.

- FIG. 13 is a side elevation of the critical portion of the accumulation conveyor shown in FIG. 12.
- FIG. 14 is a plan view illustratingmeans for feeding cops into an automatic Winder.
- blocks 1 encircled by one-dot chain lines respectively represent spinning frames in the preceding step.
- the cops fully Wound in each spinning frame are doffed by catchers mounted on an endless chain of an auto-dolfer (not shown), said endless chain travelling along a circular path and are attracted by magnets carried on an endless conveyor 2 to be suspended from said conveyor by Ibeing guided through a guide pipe, said endless conveyor being ⁇ arranged to move around said spinning frame.
- the cops 3 as shown in FIG.
- each holder 9 is composed of a synthetic resin-made cylinder 11 and an iron ring 10 tted on the lower portion thereof.
- the iron ring serves to lower the center of gravity of the holder as a whole enabling said holder to carry the cop therein in an upstraight position and also to make the holder .adaptable for use with a chain conveyor under the attractive force of magnets provided on said chain.
- FIG. 5 there is shown a sensing device 13 consisting of a combination of a light source and a photoelectric tube. This sensing device 13 operates in a manner such that, when the magnet 5, with the cop 3 suspended therefrom, intercepts the light from the light source illuminating the photoelectric tube, solenoids 14 and 14', operatively connected to the respective stop levers 12 and 12 as shown in FIG.
- the sensing device 13 is actuated again by the following magnet and the cop carried by said magnet is dropped into the holder, which is held stationary therebelow by the stop lever. This operation is repeated as the magnets pass through the sensing device and thus the cops are dropped into the respective holders one after another in a successive manner.
- a light interceptin g plate 16 of a length equivalent to the length of several magnets 5 is attached to the endless belt 2 at a point which will arrive at the sensing device 13 in advance of the cops, as shown in FIG. 5.
- the stop lever 12' shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 which is disposed at the rear end of the str-aight path of the belt conveyor 8, is arranged such that it is operatively connected with electric control means in a control box shown at 17 in FIG. 1 when the endless conveyors 2 are held stationary, but said stop levers 12 and 12 are operatively connected with the sensing devices 13 when said sensing devices 13 are actuated by the respective light intercepting 'plates 16 being carried by the endless conveyors 2.
- Said operative connections between said stop lever 12 and said electric control means, and between said stop levers 12, 12' and said sensing devices 13 are ⁇ automatically switched from one to the other by means of said electric means so as to deliver the holders 9 onto the belt conveyor 8 successively.
- the holders 9 each holding a cop 3 therein (indicated by double circles in the figure), which are being transported yby the belt conveyor 8, ride on a rotating disc plate 18, by which they are turned and moved onto another belt conveyor 20 while having their positions corrected by stationary guide 19.
- a chain 21 is mounted on a drive sprocket wheel 23 and an idle sprocket wheel 22 and is driven by driving means operatively connected to said drive sprocket wheel 23.
- the chain 21 is housed in a guide frame 24 defining the travelling path of said chain and carries brackets 25 fitted thereto at a suitable interval.
- Each bracket 25 is composed of a bottom plate 26, an upstraight guide plate 27 extending from that edge of the bottom plate which is closer to the chain and a plurality of suitably spaced blades 28 extending from the trailing edge of said guide plate 27 at right angles thereto.
- a stationary plate 29 is arranged in successive relation to the belt conveyor 20. This stationary plate is provided with guides 30, 31 and 32 of low height as shown, so as to confine the holders thereon.
- the guide 31 has a length which will not interfere with the travelling of the bracket 25 carrying the holder therein.
- the belt conveyor 20 is also provided with guides 33 along the side edges thereof.
- a leaf spring 3,4 is provided for the purpose of bringing the holder into a predetermined position which has -moved beyond the guide 31 and stopped in engagement with the guide 32.
- a ⁇ leaf spring 35 also serves to maintain the position of the holder.
- Indicated at 36 is a feeler of a microswitch which will detect the accumulation of the holders. This feeler is electrically connected with the driving means for the chain conveyor.
- the holders are accumulated between the tip end of the feeler 36 and the guide 32 before the operation is started and then the belt conveyor 20 is driven carrying the holders thereon.
- the chain 21 begins to travel and the holders accumulated on the stationary plate 29 are caught by the blades 28 of the respective brackets 25 attached to the chain, and thus transported by said brackets one after another.
- the bottom plate 26 of the bracket passes underside of the stationary plate 29, while the blades 28 thereof pass over the guides 30 and 32.
- the holder rests on the bottom plate 26 upon clearing the edge of the stationary plate 29. At this time, the holder s pressed against the upstraight guide 27 of said bracket by the leaf spring 35 and thereby is prevented from tilting or dropping from the bracket.
- the space between the free tip end of the feeler 36 and the guide 32 are always filled with the holders. This is necessary for controlling the positions of the holders and thereby to ensure positive supply of the holders into Ithe brackets 25 one after another. Since the holders on the stationary plate 29 are constantly urged forwardly by those on the belt conveyor 20, the space resulting from the removal of the foremost holder from the stationary plate by the bracket 25 is immediately filled by the holders which follow and thus the space on the stationary plate is always maintained full of the holders. Those holders are confined on the stationary plate by means of the leaf spring 34, until they are carried away by the blades 28. The chain 21 stops its operation when the area in front of the feeler 36 of the microswitch is vacated by the holders.
- the chain 21 is guided by the guide 24 such that it travels horizontally at a portion where it is confronted by the stationary plate 29 and also at a portion where the holders are discharged from the respective brackets after they are brought to an elevated point by the chain together with the brackets.
- the intermediate portion of the guide 24 between said two horizontal portions is suitably inclined as required.
- a comb-shaped stationary guide 37 is provided which, as shown in FIG. 8, is adapted to remove the holder from the bracket without contacting the blades 28 of the bracket.
- the holder thus removed from the bracket is then moved onto another belt conveyor 39 by ⁇ being guided by the holder guide 38. It will be obvious that the holders are carried along the aforementioned horizontal and sloping paths irrespective of whether they have cops therein or not.
- a weight discriminator 40 for the cops is provided at the forward end of the belt conveyor 39.
- This weight discriminator is adapted to measure the weight of the cops in the holders individually successively and segregate them into those having a prescribed weight and those having an underweight.
- the operation of the weight discriminator will be explained in detail hereinafter with reference to FIGS. and l1.
- the cop being held upstraght in the holder 9 is moved onto a weighing pan 42 together with said holder by means of a rotary cam 41 which has a notch 43 formed in the periphery thereof.
- the rotary cam 41 is driven by driving means X operatively associated with a feeler 44 of a limit switch.
- Reference numeral 45 designates a stationary plate, 46 a weighing fulcrum, 47 a balance beam, 48 photoelectric tube means and 49 a conveyor for delivering weighed cop and holder.
- a guide plate 50 is fixedly mounted on the conveyor 49 and has a blade-like selector 51 pivotally connected to an end thereof facing the weighing pan.
- the driving means X for the cam 41 is set in operation causing the cam 41 to revolve in the direction of the arrow.
- the foremost holder, therefore ⁇ is fitted in the notch 43 in the cam and pushed forward by a pushing roll 52 to move from the stationary plate 45 onto the Weighing pan 42, said pushing roll being connected to the cam.
- the selector 51 is swung to the dotted line position shown in the figure and leads the underweight cop and holder into a path separate from the normal path. It is thus possible to discriminate the underweight cops from those having a regular Weight automatically easily and yet in a positive manner.
- the conveyor 49 is associated at its forward end with an accumulation conveyor 54.
- This accumulation conveyor like the conveyor 49, has a guide plate 55 fixedly mounted thereon so as to separate the holder passage into a right-hand passage section R and a left-hand passage section L as viewed in the proceeding direction of the holders.
- the conveyor 54 is driven continuously to convey the holders from the conveyor 49 with a cop therein.
- the cop-carrying holders in the L-passage section that is the section for the regular-weight cops, is blocked by a stopper 57 and the holders being conveyed successively are accumulated in that section of the conveyor 54 and a stationary plate 59 which is arranged successively to said conveyor 54, as shown in FIG. l.
- the stopper 57 is opened by electric means operatively connecting said stopper with said automatic Winder.
- the holders accumulated on the conveyor 54 therefore, are allowed to advance onto the stationary plate 59 while being arranged in a single row with the aid of a guide 58 and being pushed by the following holders, and fed into the automatic Winder through means as will be described later.
- the guide 58 consists of a leaf spring and is mounted in such a manner that a portion thereof may be brought into contact with the holders, and is adapted to deflect elastically, inwardly as well as outwardly.
- the guide 58 is Xedly supported at a point by a support member 60 and defines a holder passageway together with a liXed guide 61. As shown in FIG. 13, the guide 58 is arranged so as to be brought into contact with the side wall of the synthetic resinmade cylinders 11 of the holders 9.
- the iron rings 10 fitted on the lower portion of the cylinder serves to lower the center of gravity of the entire holder as stated previously.
- the holder 9 In the initial stage of contact with the guide 58, the holder 9 is carried forward while urging the deflective portion of the guide S outwardly with its side wall but, as the holder 9 approaches the fixed guide 61, the holder is tilted by the guide 58 in the way shown in FIG. 13, because that portion of the guide 58 is held in a non-deflective state by being supported by the support member 60.
- the resulting change in position of the iron ring 10, together With the change in deflective state of the guide 58, causes relaxation and unbalance of the force with which the holders are bound by each other.
- the cop-carrying holders having been advanced onto the stationary plate 59 are conveyed towards the automatic Winder 56 by means of a chain conveyor 62 which holds the holders by the attractive force acting between the iron rings of the holders and magnets mounted on said chain conveyor. Then, the copcarrying holders are automatically carried by rotating cop feed means 63 one after another successively and only the cops are dropped through an aperture 64 formed in the xed position of the feed means 63 to be lfed into the automatic Winder.
- the cop feed means 63 is shown in FIG. 14 in enlargement.
- a notched rotary disc 65 operatively connected with the automatic Winder, is revolved intermittently by a quarter of its full turn at each time and thus advance the cop-carrying holders one after another in cooperation with a guide plate 66.
- the cop-carrying holder reaches the aperatu-re 64, the cop only drops through the aperture into the automatic Winder and the emptied holder is hooked away by an empty-holder guide 67 upon another one-quarter revolution of the notched disc 65.
- the empty holder thus disengaged ⁇ from the notched disc 65 is returned to the conveyor 8, travelling below the floor, by being carried on a sloped conveyor 68 (FIG. 1) along the guide 67.
- a feeler 69 of a microswitch, shown in FIG. 1, is electrically connected with the stopper 57, so that, when the cop-carrying holders clear said feeler to move into the cop feed means 63, the feeler is actuated to retract the stopper 57 and, when the holders, thus permitted to proceed onto the stationary plate S9 from the ⁇ L-passage section on the accumulation conveyor 54, come in contact with the feeler, the feeler is deactivated and the stopper S7 is returned to its original position.
- the underweight cop-carrying holders and/or empty holders directed into the R-passage section on the accumulation conveyor are accumulated in said passage section by being blocked by a stopper 71 under the same state as those in the L-passage section due to the function of a ⁇ guide 70 which has the same construction as that of the guide 58.
- the photoelectric tube means 72 is illuminated, whereby the stopper 71 electrically connected thereto is retracted.
- the holders therefore, are carried by a chain conveyor 73, which, similar to the chain conveyor 62, is provided with magnets, and sent onto the sloped conveyor 68.
- the stationary plate 59 is formed with an aperture 74 of a size just enough to allow only the cop to pass therethrough. Therefore, as the holders are carried by the chain conveyor 73, the underweight cops drop through the aperture into a cop-receiving box provided beneath the stationary plate.
- reference symbol M designates a drive motor ⁇ for each means described hereinabove.
- a feeler 75 of a microswitch provided in a xed position with respect to the conveyor 54 operates such that, when the lholders are accumulated on the conveyor 59 to a certain amount, the microswitch is actuated, whereupon electric control means in the control box is actuated to stop another cycle of operation of the endless conveyors 2.
- the control means in the control box 17 has the order of the spinning frames for dofling operation previously memorized therein, so as to drive the conveyors 2 of the spinning frames in that order as required.
- the spun yarn cops suspended from the spinning frame conveyors are automatically detached from said conveyors at a predetermined point and received by the Irespective cylindrical hollow holders arranged therebelow, and conveyed towards the automatic Winder while having their proceeding direction automatically changed horizontally as Well as vertically, during which period they are automatically segregated into those of regular weight and those of underweight as they are held in the holders and are accumulated on the accumulation conveyor separately, the regular-weight cops held in the holders being taken out from the accumulation conveyor smoothly as required by the automatic Winder and removed from the holders only at the location of the automatic Winder to be fed therein, the resultant empty holders being reci'rculated for reuse, the holders on the accumulation conveyor having the underweight or unacceptable cops therein being taken out from the accumulation conveyor as empty holders are demanded by the operation of the inventive apparatus and, after dropping only the cops therefrom at a predetermined point, recirculated for reuse.
- the series of operation described above is performed entirely continuously and automatically, requiring no labor at all. Moreover, by the use of the holders, the present invention is totally free from the drawbacks possessed by the conventional apparatus, such as entanglement of the cut ends of spun yarn and others.
- the present invention has materialized for the rst time complete automatization of the process required between spinning frames and automatic winder and, therefore, is of remarkable advance in the art of continuous automatic spinning.
