Definitions

  • the apparatus consists essentially of a roller which lies on the yarn as it is being wound and guides it onto the beam, the roller being mounted on a pantograph link system so that it can maintain the same relative position throughout winding, the means for turning the yarn consisting of off-setting the wraith or comb relative to the direction of movement of the yarn so that each individual yarn of the sheet is turned in the same direction.
  • Tension control being provided by passing the yarn over a roller mounted in strain gauges which control electronically the winding speed o the yarn.
  • This invention concerns a method and apparatus for winding beams and is particularly concerned with the method and apparatus for winding yarn of elongated crosssection.
  • yarns are the so-called tape yarns made from polypropylene and polythene which may have dimensions of 0.1 inch by 0.002. inch.
  • Yarns of the kind referred to are particularly difficult to wind due to their tendency to twist and thus it is extremely difficult to produce flat, uniform beams.
  • the method of winding beams with yarn of the kind referred to includes the steps of presenting a sheet of yarn of controlled width immediately prior to winding on a beam to means for ensuring that individual yarns lie with their longer dimension parallel to the periphery of a beam and winding the beam with the yarns so held.
  • the method includes the further step of causing all of the individual yarns to be turned in the same direction prior to being caused to lie parallel to the beam periphery whereby twisting of the yarns is prevented.
  • apparatus for carrying out the method referred to includes the provision of a roller located upstream of the beam and carried by a pantograph link system, said roller being arranged, in use, to lie on the yarn and immediately before the yarn is wound on the beam cause it to lie with its longer dimension parallel to the beam periphery, means being provided to control the width of the yarn sheet.
  • pantograph link system is provided with link members of such length that whatever the distance of the roller, due to yarn buildup on a beam, from the beam spindle axis the roller remains in the same position relative to the beam periphery.
  • FIG. 1 is a somewhat diagrammatic side elevation of the headstock of a sizing machine, showing the relative positions of the parts of the apparatus forming the subject of the invention;
  • FIG. 2 is a more detailed side elevation of part of the apparatus of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a detail view of another part of the apparatus of FIG. 1.
  • the apparatus for Winding beams with yarn of the kind referred to is associated with the headstock of a sizing machine of any known type and consists of a framework 10 extending upwardly from the headstock frame upon which is mounted, at each side of the headstock, a carrier plate 11 to which are pivotally attached the first two limbs 12 and 13 of a pantograph link system.
  • the carrier plates each carry an arm 14 to the free end of which is pivotally attached the cylinder 15 of a hydraulic ram 16, which ram 16 is pivotally secured to a link 17 rigid with pantograph arm 13.
  • the ram 16, in use serves to lift and lower the pantograph link system for the purpose of allowing removing of a full beam and its replace ment with an empty beam to be wound.
  • the free ends of the other two links 18 and 19 of the pantograph linkage at each side of the headstock are pivotally attached to a carrier plate 20 for a roller 21 arranged to extend across the headstock and be located, in relation to the spindle 22 of an empty beam 23, just upstream of the position at which yarn (indicated by the line 24) commences to be wound "on the beam 23.
  • the link lengths of the pantograph, and the position at which it is mounted on the headstock are so chosen that whatever the condition of winding from an empty to a full beam the roller 21 will maintain the same relative position in relation to the point at which yarn commences to be wound.
  • the roller 21 is conveniently mounted in roller bearings 25 (see FIG. 3) in the carrier plates 20.
  • adjustable brackets 26 each of which serves to carry one end of a round bar 27 arranged just to contact the yarn sheet.
  • the bar 27 carries adjustable flanges 28 which serve to control the width of the yarn sheet and conveniently the width of the sheet is arranged to be just less than the overall beam spindle width in order that jute selvedge yarns (not shown) can be wound onto the beam 23 to prevent damage to the yarns adjacent the beam flanges.
  • a yarn tension control roller 29 carried in bearings 30 mounted on pivotally mounted levers 31 each of which is secured, at its end opposite to the bearings 30, to a strain gauge 32 carried in a bracket 33 rigidly mounted on the headstock.
  • an additional roller 34 is placed in the headstock between the beam (not shown in FIG. 2) and the strain gauge carried roller 29 so that the resultant force indicated by the arrow R on the strain gauges 32 is always achieved for the same angle of wraps of yarn 24 around the roller 29.
  • An indication of the variation of the yarn line between an empty and a full beam is given by the broken lines 24b and d of FIG. 2.
  • the headstock carries a draw roller 35 between which and the roller 29 the yarn are carried after passing around draw roller 35 from the nip between it and a guide roller 36.
  • the rollers 29, 35 and 36 have in effect a capstan-like action due to the amount of wrap of the yarns around these rollers,
  • the headstock from the remainder of the machine so that the yarn as they are drawn onto the beam 23 are caused, at the Wraith or comb 38 to be turned through an angle to ensure that all the yarns lie in the same attitude and have been turned in the same direction.
  • the yarns after passing the wraith or comb 38 pass over the fluted roller 37 and then to the beam 23 via the strain gauge mounted roller 2?, the additional roller 34, the width control bar 27 and pantograph mounted roller 21.
  • the method of winding beams with a sheet of yarns of elongated cross-section including the steps of controlling the width of said yarn sheet, presenting said sheet immediately prior to winding on a beam to means for ensuring that individual yarns of said sheet lie with their longer dimension parallel to a beam periphery, and winding said yarns onto said beam.
  • Apparatus for winding beams with a sheet of yarns of elongated cross-section comprising, a roller under which said sheet of yarns pass, a pantograph link system carrying said roller, and said roller being adapted to lie on said yarns immediately before said yarns are wound on said beams to ensure that the individual yarns of said sheet lie with their longer dimension parallel to said beam periphery, and means for controlling the width of said sheet of said yarns.
