Definitions

  • a combing roller which supplies fibers to a rotary suction spinning chamber, has lateral flanges with peripheral projections generating air currents inhibiting fiber accumulations in lateral gaps formed between lateral convex or concave faces of the combing roller, and matching surfaces of a supporting body.
  • a rotary suction spinning chamber receives fibers combed out of a silver by a combing roller located in a circular space in a supporting body, and feeding the combed-out fibers into a tangential outlet channel to which the vacuum of the spinning chamber is applied.
  • a feed roller feeds the sliver to the rapidly rotating peripheral surface of the combing roller, which is provided with needle points, wire clothing, teeth and the like for combing fibers out of the sliver.
  • the combing roller has circular planar faces respectively located opposite planar surfaces of the supporting body bounding the substantially circular space in which the combing roller is located.
  • the yarn is not continuously spun, which has the effect of yarn breakage, or the yarn is spun with undesirable knobs.
  • the fiber accumulations in the lateral gaps adjacent the combing roller in the respective surfaces of the supporting body cause a complete stoppage and clogging of the combing mechanism.
  • Another object of the invention is to generate air current which prevent the entry of fibers into lateral gaps adjacent the combing roller.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide lateral gaps having such a shape that the flow resistance is increased, so that fibers entering peripheral portions of the lateral gaps cannot penetrate into the central areas 3,624,997 Patented Dec. 7, 1971 of the lateral gaps, and are sucked out again by the suction spinning chamber.
  • the present invention provides peripheral projections adjacent the lateral faces of the combing roller for generating air currents preventing accumulations in the region of the lateral faces of the combing roller.
  • the lateral faces of the combing roller are at least in the central region convex or concave, and the surfaces of the supporting body opposite the lateral faces match the respective lateral faces, and are preferably parallel to the same. Further improvement of the effect is obtained in accordance with the invention by providing grooves in the lateral faces. It is advantageous to provide an opening in the wall of the supporting body connecting the outside air with at least one of the lateral gaps so that the suction of the spinning chamber is effective in the respective gap to remove accumulations.
  • One embodiment of the invention comprises a supporting body having a cavity including a substantially circular space and an outlet channel connecting the periphery of the space with a suction spinning chamber; and a combing roller located in the space and forming in the same two lateral gaps, and an annular gap communicating with the outlet channel.

  • the combing roller has circular lateral flanges formed with peripheral projections for creating air currents inhibiting the entry of fibers into the lateral gaps.
  • the centers of the two lateral faces of the combing roller are located in the axis of the same spaced from each other a different distance than the peripheries of the two lateral faces are spaced from each other.
  • the surfaces opposite the lateral faces of the combing roller are preferably parallel to the same.
  • the lateral faces of the combing roller are convex or concave, conical or curved. This construction is advantageously combined with the peripheral projections producing air currents for obtaining a particularly effective self-cleaning of the apparatus.

  • a rotary spinning chamber 1 of known construction has peripheral openings in the region of the widest chamber portion so that suction is generated in the spinning chamber during rotation of the same.
  • the opening of the spinning chamber 1 surrounds a circular boss of a supporting body 3 so that an outlet channel 33 opens into the suction chamber.
  • Supporting body 3 is formed with a cavity including a circular space 31, outlet channel 33 which extends tangentially to the circular space 31, and a cavity portion 32.
  • a feeding roller 5 is mounted on a shaft 51 and transports the end of a sliver 2 through a converging passage in a sliver condensor 52 so that the leading end of the sliver is engaged by the teeth or needles on the circular periphery of the combing roller 4 which combs fibers out of the sliver and transports the same in an annular gap surrounding combing roller 4 until the fibers enter the outlet channel 13 and are drawn by suction into the spinning chamber 1.
  • Condensor 52 is mounted on a pin 52a for angular movement, and is urged by a spring 52b into a position in which the sliver engages the feeding roller.
  • the combing roller 4 is mounted on a driven shaft 41, and has circular lateral faces 44 and 45 on opposite sides forming narrow lateral gaps 44a and 45a With confronting circular surfaces 311 and 312 of the supporting body 3.
  • the lateral faces 44, 45 are outward convex and are located opposite concave surfaces 311 and 312 which have the same curvature, and are parallel to, the surfaces 44, 45 respectively, so that the gaps 44a and 45a are of uniform thickness.
  • the peripheral cylindrical face 42 of combing roller 4 is provided with wire points or teeth 43 in the usual manner, and the points are constructed as required by the material of the sliver 2.
  • the opening 310 in the wall of the supporting body is omitted.
  • the lateral faces 44 and 45' of combing roller 4 are concave and conical, and the surfaces 311' and 312 have a corresponding conical shape forming 4 gaps of uniform thickness with the lateral faces 44' and 45'.
  • the central portion of one lateral face 44" projects outward in axial direction, while the remaining outer portions of the lateral surface are located in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the combing roller. It is also possible to form a concave conical surface in the center portion of the lateral face, but the surfaces 311" and 312" should be parallel with the lateral faces 44 and 45". In the embodiment of FIG. 9, the lateral face 45 and the surface 312" are located in planes perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the combing roller.
  • grooves 46 are provided in the lateral faces.
  • a groove 46b is curved to the respective radial plane, while in the embodiment of FIG. 8, a groove 46b is located in a radial plane.
  • convex conical lateral faces 44a and 44b are provided with grooves 46 whose bottom faces are more steeply inclined so that grooves 46 are deeper near the periphery of the combing roller.
  • the bottom face 461a of the grooves 46 of the embodiment of FIG. 9 are arranged in the same manner.
  • the bottom face 461 of the groove 46 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the combing roller so that the greatest depth of groove 46 is in the region of the axis.
  • the bottoms 461b are curved and concave.
  • the feed roller 5 feeds the sliver 2 to the combing roller 4 Whose points 43 separate individual fibers from the sliver and transport the same along a portion of the annular gap surrounding combing roller 4 until the fibers enter the tangential outlet channel 33 to which the negative pressure of the spinning chamber is applied so that the fibers move out of the outlet channel 33 and impinge the slip surface 11, gathering on the circular collecting surface 12 where they are formed into a band which is twisted due to the rotation of the spinning chamber 1 to form a twisted yarn which is continuously delivered to the central outlet of the spinning chamber 1.
  • a stream of air generated by the suction effect of the spinning chamber 1 is oriented in such a manner that in the lateral gaps between lateral faces 44, 4S and stationary surfaces 311, 312, an increased flow resistance prevails so that any fibers which may enter the lateral gaps 44a, 45a cannot penetrate into the central areas of the lateral gaps and are drawn by the suction of the spinning chamber into the annular gap sui'rounding the combing roller, or into the outlet channe 33.
  • grooves 46 the pneumatic effect of the suction of the spinning chamber is complemented by a mechanical effect, since groove 46 directly acts on the fibers to carry the same out of the grooves into the peripheral gap and outlet channel. Furthermore, grooves 46 generate strong turbulent air currents in the annular peripheral gaps surrounding the combing roller 4 by which the fibers are prevented from flying into the lateral gaps 44a and 45a between the rotating lateral faces 45, 46 and the stationary surfaces 311, 312.
  • the combing roller 4 is provided with lateral flanges having the lateral faces 44, 45, which are shown to be planar and located opposite planar circular surfaces 311 and 312 in FIG. for the sake of simplicity.
  • the lateral surfaces 44, 45, and the surfaces 311, 312 are advantageously constructed as described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 10.
  • the end flanges 440 and 450 are provided with peripheral projections and recesses 430 which may have sharp edges formed by slanted faces, as shown in FIG. 12, or may have differently shaped projections 431 or 432, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14.
  • the projections 431 have flat end faces and are separated by rounded recesses
  • the projections 432 have flat faces and are separated by recesses which have flat bottom faces.
  • the circular space in the supporting body in which the combing roller 4 is located includes two circular recessed bounded by circular shoulders 313 and 314, and by the planar circular surfaces 311 and 312. The width of the gap between projections 430 and annular shoulders 313, 314 is exaggerated in FIG. 11, and the circumferential gap is actually very small.
  • the projections 430, 431, 432 of the rotating flanges 440, 450 act as fan wheels and produce air streams of high velocity and pressure which prevent and inhibit the entering of fibers into the lateral gaps between lateral faces 44, 45 and the circular gaps between projections 430 and annular shoulders 313' and 314. If any fibers happen to penetrate into the gaps, they are thrown back by the action of the projections 430.
  • FIGS. 11, 12, 13 and 14 the teeth 430, 431 and the knurled projections 432 are shown to be parallel to the axis of rotation of the combing roller 4. However, it is also possible to provide on flanges 440, 450 projections which are slanted to the axis of the combing roller 4 in two directions, as shown in FIG. 15, or different directions, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17.
