Definitions

  • ABSTRACT OF 'THE DISCLOSURE A mechanism for effecting the rising and falling movements of spindles for winding bobbins of filamentary textile material and providing for progressive reduction in the travel of the spindles to give the bobbins cone-shaped ends, reversing of the drive causing the rising and falling movement being under the control of two spaced detents engaged on screw-threaded portions of opposite pitch of a reduction screw which is turned through a part revolution for each rising or falling movement thereby adjusting the spacing of the detents and the lateral movement required of the member supporting them to effect the next change-over of movement.
  • the invention relates to devices for effecting the rising and falling movements used to wind bobbins of lamentary textile material such as roving.
  • the roving delivered by the spinning frame is wound onto bobbins in layers parallel to the axis of the winder and whose coils are close, with edges touching.
  • all the spindles being wound are moved with a vertical reciprocating motion wit-l1 -a speed directly proportional to the diameter of the roving and inversely proportional to the diameter of the bobbin.
  • the length of each successive layer is shortened with a view to giving the bobbin the shape of a truncated cone.
  • the travel of the spindles is corrected, a-fter each rising and falling movement, by a correcting device which reduces the travel in such a way that each new layer of roving is shortened at the two extremities by a constant (but adjustable) value.
  • basculesj7 are of different types, but they all use in -a general manner the same principle. They control at the same time;
  • bascules are ⁇ composed of a number of mechanisms which do not meet modern work requirements. They make use of counterweights or springs and work with relatively high response times.
  • the reversing of the movement is often dicult as the parts are turning at high speed.
  • the reversing device is often composed of a conical twinned sliding pinion coming into engagement with a conical driving pinion. At the moment of reversal the two pinions are turning at speed and the arrangement does not therefore lend itself to operation at high speeds.
  • the resetting of the reversing mechanism is driven by ratchet wheel. This atter is fore- ⁇ seen as a spare.
  • the conventional driving devices of the spindle carriage have been replaced by a device of turning yand retractable shoes, driven by a rack.
  • Such a mechanism works on shock and is prone to break down.
  • An object of the invention is to realise rst all of a driving device for the rising and falling movement of the spindles on the spindle beds which does not have the aforesaid disadvantages of the known devices.
  • the invention uses a device of the type comprising an input shaft which is driven permanently in a certain direction of rotation, preferably through the intermediary of a speed changer, and which drives an out put shaft through the intermediary of a mechanical direction reverser, placed under the control of two detents carried by a sliding part actuated by a lead screw drivably connected for rotation by the said output shaft.
  • the said detents are movable on the sliding part which carries them and their spacing is adjustable by the movement of rotation of a reduction screw having two screw-threads of opposite pitches.
  • the mechanical direction reverser may be actuated by a mechanism which comprises an intermediate shaft driven, for one revolution at a time, from a power take-oft in permanent motion, through the intermediary of a clutch of a type having a retractable peripheric key with a stop member inthe path of which two
  • a mechanism which comprises an intermediate shaft driven, for one revolution at a time, from a power take-oft in permanent motion, through the intermediary of a clutch of a type having a retractable peripheric key with a stop member inthe path of which two
  • this bascule has the advantage of taking up a reduced amount of floor space, all the more so because the parts which constitute it are, in an advantageous specific embodiment, arranged one above the other, in the same Vertical plane, which facilitates access to the apparatus and consequently its maintenance and adjustment.
  • the drive of all the parts is positive, which eliminates inaccuracies of the movement and the risks of breakdown which are often imputable, in conventional bascules, to the use of racks or ratchet wheels with pawls.
  • the driving parts shift at low speed, especially the control detents, which enables operation to be carried on without shocks :and consequently making little noise and suffering little wear.
  • the driving parts for regulating the gear controlling the speed of rotation of the spindles are actuated by the reduction screw having screwthreads of opposite pitch for controlling the variation of the spacing lof the detents.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic front view of the device, some parts being omitted;
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 are, on a larger scale, vertical sections taken respectively along the lines II-II and III--III of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a horizontal section taken along the line lV-IV of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 5 is, on a larger scale, a partial horizontal section along the line V-V of FIG. l.
  • the driving device shown in the drawings is arranged for driving spindles 1 of ra roving frame which comprises a large number of spindles similar to the spindle 1 and likewise mounted.
  • the device also provides the drive for the speed controller indicated at 3 through the intermediary of which the spindles 1 are rotated.
  • the spindle 1 indicated on FIG. 1 is shown in a diagrammatic manner as being tubular and mounted for rotation with its axis on a rising and falling plate 6 supported by vertical screws such as 7 mounted for rotation in the bed 2.
  • the spindles 7 are connected to the shaft 9 by a couple of cylindrical toothed wheels 11, 12 and a couple of conical toothed pinions 13, 14. According to whether the horizontal shaft 9 iS made to turn in one direction or the other, this will instigate the simultaneous rotation of the vertical screws, such as 7, in one direction or the other, and, consequently, bring about the rise or fall of the plate 6 and of all the spindles 1 which it carries.
  • the speed controller 3 by which each spindle 1 is rotated, is shown as having an input shaft 16 and an output shaft 17 on which are mounted head to tail, respectively, two conical drums 18, 19 over which passes Ia belt 22.
  • the input shaft 16 carries a Ipulley 23 on which is mounted a belt 24 driven itself by a drive pulley (not shown).
  • the output shaft 17 of the speed controller 3 is connected through a couple of conical pinions 26, 27, to a shaft 28.
  • a drum 29 is carried by this shaft, and a belt 31 passes round the drum 29 and a pulley 32 for each spindle.
  • Each pulley 32 is rigidly carried on a vertical splined shaft 33 on which the associated tubular spindle 1 can slide without turning in relation to the said shaft. All the spindles are therefore set rotating at the same speed, during their rising and falling movement, from the output shaft 17 of the speed controller 3.

  • the driving device shown in the drawings is therefore to be used to effect, on the one hand, rotary movement of the shaft 9 for bringing about the rise and fall of the spindles and, on the other hand, pivoting of the toothed pinion 41 to shift the part regulating the output speed of the controller 3 controlling the speed of rotation of said spindles.
  • This device comprises a vertical frame, denoted at 51 and formed substantially by two side plates 52, 53 connected at their middle parts by a plate member 54 and fixed on a base ⁇ 55 integral with the bed 2.
  • T-he input shaft ⁇ 56 is rotated continuously, always in the same direction, and inv the present example the drive for the shaft 56 is taken from the output shaft 17 of the speed controller 3 as shown diagrammatically in the drawing by a belt drive or chain drive 59.

  • the toothed pinion 61 is in mesh with another toothed pinion 71 secured to the output shaft 57, whereas the toothed pinion 62 is in mesh with an intermediate pinion 72 of considerable length in mesh also with a toothed pinion 73 likewise secured to the output shaft 57.
  • This latter carries another toothed pinion 76 in mesh with a toothed wheel 77 secured to a shaft 7K8 connected through a coupling 79 to the shaft 9 controlling the rise and fall of the spindles and which is located in the bed 2.
  • the control of the shifting of this sleeve 63 is effected by a bell crank lever 81, shown on FIG. l (see also FIG. 5) the two arms of which are indicated respectively at 82 and 83 and which pivots Ion a fixed vertical spindle 80.

  • the vertical ⁇ shaft 87 is rotated intermittently but always in the same direction and each time by half a revolution only, through the intermediary of a couple of conical pinions 106, 107 of the ratio 1/2, from an intermediate shaft 108.
  • the shaft 108 is driven by a clutch 109 of a conventional type ensuring rotation of the shaft through one revolution, drive being imparted to the clutch from a wheel 111 mounted loosely on the said shaft 108 and rotated continuously always in the same direction by a suitable power take-off.
  • this power take-off is effected from the input shaft 56, through the intermediary of two chain drives 113, 114.
  • the clutch 109 of a kind often used on presses, has a retractable key and is represented diagrammatically in FIG. 3. It comprises a finger 117, inte-gral with a key 118 projecting at right angles thereto and urged by a spring 119 in the direction which pivots the key in a housing in the outer cage 121 of the clutch and connects this latter with the inner cage 122 keyed on the shaft 108.
  • a knife 124 see also FIG. l
  • 125 the key turns on itself and draws aside from the driving notch of the outer cage, thus making the two cages no longer rotatably connected with one another.

  • the initial alternating shifting of the two knives 124, 125 is brought about by a disc 137 (FIG. 1) fixed centrally along a tubular member 138 which will be called hereinafter a reduction screw, and which can slide on a shaft 139 rotatably mounted in the chassis 51.
  • the reduction screw 138 is connected for rotation with the shaft 139 by a key 141 (see also FIG. 3)
  • the reduction screw 138 is rotated with an intermittent movement, always in the same direction, by the shaft 1108, through a transmission which comprises a toothed pinion 15.1 secured to the shaft 108, a toothed wheel 152 in mesh with the toothed wheel 151 and mounted loosely on a fixed pin 153, a chain wheel 154 integral with the toothed wheel 152, a chain 155 which passes over the wheel 154, another wheel 156 over which the chain 155 also passes and which is secured to a coupling 157 comprising elements with mating saw teeth, one of the elements 158 being integralwith the wheel 156 and mounted loosely on the shaft 139, whilst the other element 159 is secured to the said shaft.
  • a transmission which comprises a toothed pinion 15.1 secured to the shaft 108, a toothed wheel 152 in mesh with the toothed wheel 151 and mounted loosely on a fixed pin 153, a chain wheel 154 integral with the toothed wheel 152, a chain 155 which passes over the wheel
  • the role of the coupling 157 is as follows. After doffing, it is necessary for commencement of bobbin filling to return on the one hand, the belt 22 of the speed changer 3 and, on the other hand, the detents 145 and 146 on the screw 138 to their initial position, Iand this must be done -without having to turn the whole of the ⁇ drive for the spindles.
  • the coupling 157 allows the shaft t139 to be rotated independently of its drive from the wheel 154, the said shaft then being driven from an auxiliary drive (not shown).
  • the auxiliary drive can be either manual from a hand wheel mounted directly lat the end of the shaft 139, or automatic from an auxiliary motor connected with the shaft in question.
  • the starting up of the auxiliary motor can be effected automatically at the end of the bobbin filling cycle.
  • this phase of preparation for the bobbin filling cycle to enable the belt 22 to be shifted on the cones 18 and 19, these latter are also arranged to be driven by the 'auxiliary drive.
  • the sliding of the reduction screw 138 is effected by la shoe 161 mounted slidingly on the trued way 148 and o-n another way 162 parallel to the way l148 the said shoe being integral with a nut 164 engaged on a rotary lead screw 165, parallel to the two aforesaid slideways '148 and 162 and the two extremities of which pivot respectively in the two side plates 52, 53 of the chassis 51.
  • the lead screw 165 is rotated in a reciprocating motion in phase with the movement of the output shaft 57 through a transmission which comprises a toothed wheel 167 secured to the shaft 57, and a chain 168 which passes over the toothed wheel 167 and over another toothed wheel 169 secured to the screw 165.
  • the toothed pinion 411 causing movement of the part adjusting the speed ratio of the controller 3 which controls the rotation of the spindles is connected to the shaft 139 and, in the example, it is represented as being integr-al with the said shaft.
  • the spindles, such as 1, carrying the windings 10, are rotated by the output sh-aft 17 of the controller 3 through the transmission described above and are also caused to effect a rising and falling movement which, for the moment, finds itself in the descending stage, let us suppose.
  • This falling movement is likewise brought about from the output shaft 17 of the speed controller 3 through the belt transmission 59, the shaft 56, the toothed pinion 61 at present connected for rotation with this shaft, the toothed pinion 71, the shaft 57, the toothed pinions 76, 77, the shaft 78, the coupling 79, the conical couple 14 and 13, the cylindrical couple 12 and 11, the screw 7 and the plate 6.
  • the lead screw 165 is rotated in the direction of the arrow by the output shaft 57 through the chain 168 so that the shoe 161 shifts in the direction of the arrow,i.e. towards the left when one regards FIG. l.
  • the key 118 then connects the inner and outer cages 121, I122 'of the clutch together.
  • the other socket member 127 which carries the right-hand knife remains immobile in abutment with the collar 129 of the sliding rod 128 under the action of the spring ywhich has stretched slightly.
  • the retractable key clutch 109 now brings about rotation of the intermediate shaft ⁇ 108 by connecting this latter with the Wheel 111, for one complete revolution only, since from the start of the rotation of this intermediate shaft 108 the sliding rod 128 finds itself shifted to the left by the cam 131 on the shaft 87 driven from the shaft 108 by the conical couple 106, 107. It follows that before the end of the revolution of the shaft 108, the right-hand knife 125 finds itself already on the path of the control linger 117 of the clutch 10-9. The key 118 is therefore put into the inactive position at the conclusion of the complete revolution of the shaft :108. The shaft 87 has therefore made half a revolution and the sliding rod 128 is now at the end of its travel towards the left.
  • the reversing of the rotational direction of the output shaft 57 also instigates the reversing of the direction of rotation of the lead screw 165, so that the shoe 161 now shifts in the direction ⁇ contrary to that of the arrow, i.e. towards the right.
  • the angular movement of the shaft 139 which carries the reduction screw brings about a corresponding angular movement of the toothed pinion 41 which shifts the rack 39 integral with the control fork 38 of the belt 22 of the speed controller 3, so that the rotational speed of the spindles iinds itself periodically reduced and so that one thus avoids any increase in the tension of the roving as a new layer of roving isv being wound on the bobbin.
  • the elbowed bell crank lever 8.1 (FIG. 5) is connected to the cam 86 which moves it through the intermediary of the system composed of the two small plates 91, 92 subjected to the action of the springs 93, 94. It follows that, from the start of the pivoting movement of the cam 86, the dogs in mesh disengage, but that the opposed dogs enter into mesh only when they arrive exactly facing one another, bringing about a slight compression of one or other of the' two springs, according to the pivoting direction of the lever, whilst the cam 86 effects half a revolution with a regular movement. One thus realises a rapid interlocking, without risk of deterioration of the device.
