Definitions

  • a rotatable finishing roll which is at least partially immersed in a conditioning agent contained in a trough, is removable and magnetically coupled to a drive shaft.
  • Centering means preferably formed as a flange on the finishing roll which overlaps a member attached to the drive shaft, maintains the finishing roll coaxial with the drive shaft without the necessity of performing separate alignment operations.
  • the present invention relates to a conditioning apparatus for yarn or thread winding machines, and more particularly to such an apparatus which provides at each spool site a driven finishing roll that is magnetically coupled in a rigid manner to a drive shaft, the finishing roll being at least partially immersed in a conditioning agent to impart the conditioning agent to the yarn or thread passed thereover.
  • a rotatable drive shaft is extended over a whole series of spool sites and for each spool site a finishing roll is mounted and is rigidly connected with the drive shaft by means such as a set screw.
  • the finishing roll is often mounted on its own individually driven drive shaft and is rigidly connected with the drive shaft by means such as a set screw.
  • a conditioning apparatus with moistening disks wherein the disks are driven by the moving yarn or thread is also known.
  • This type of drive leads to a high and uncontrollable yarn tension and is therefore undesirable and unsuitable for many applications.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide apparatus for conditioning yarn or thread in which both the operations of removing yarn or thread that has unravelled and has wrapped around the finishing roll in the case of a yarn break, and the necessary cleaning of said roll, may be carried out in a very simple and expedient manner.
  • the driving shaft for each finishing roll is removably and magnetically coupled to the finishing roll.
  • a centering means is also provided to maintain the drive shaft coaxial with the finishing roll.
  • the finishing roll includes a front flange formed of soft iron which magnetically engages with a holding disk carried by the drive shaft, the holding disk having a recess in which a magnetic disk is fitted.
  • the soft iron disk has on its outer circumference a ring-shaped, axially extending projection having an outwardly widening inner surface.
  • the holding disk engages the ring-shaped projection so that the projection overlaps the holding disk (which is connected to the drive shaft), thereby maintaining the drive shaft coaxial with the finishing roll.
  • the apparatus of the present invention makes it possible, for purposes of cleaning the finishing roll or of removal of an unwound end of yarn therefrom, to easily break the finishing roll loose from its magnetic attraction to the holding disk by simply grasping it with the fingers at the open free end of the roll, and lifting it out of the apparatus. With equal ease the finishing roll may be set back on the driving shaft, while the centering means automatically insures coaxial alignment of the finishing roll with the drive shaft.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a winding machine embodying a conditioning device of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a detailed illustration of a portion of the apparatus of FIG. 1 in vertical cross section which shows the conditioning device in more detail;
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the device of FIG. 2 in the stage of the separation of the finishing roll from the driving shaft.
  • the winding machine 1 has a supply spool 2 of yarn located on the base of the frame 1a thereof.
  • a thread F is drawn off from the supply spool 2 and is passed through a threading eyelet 4 and a yarn brake 5 to the yarn conditioning device 6.
  • thread F is fed to a thread guide 7 and then to take-up spool 3.
  • the thread F passes against a drum or roll of the conditioning device 6 and thereby takes up a conditioning agent such as so-called spool oil, or any other agent, which is conveyed to the thread F by the drum or roll.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of the conditioning device 6 shown generally in FIG. I.
  • a finishing trough 8 is fixed to frame 1a of winding machine 1.
  • a finishing roll 9 is located partially within the trough 8.
  • the finishing roll 9 includes a front flange 10 of magnetic material which is magnetically coupled to a holding disk 11 via a ring-shaped magnetic disk 15 which is secured in a recess in the disk 11.
  • Disk 11 is connected to one end of a shaft 13 which is rotatably joumaled in the frame la.
  • the other end of the shaft 13 is connected to a pulley 12 which is preferably driven by a drive belt stretched thereover or the like (not shown) to rotate finishing roll 9 via shaft 13.
  • a centering shoulder 16 (FIG. 3) which widens conically outward is provided on front flange 10.
  • Holding disk 1 1 engages flange 16 of the centering shoulder to provide proper alignment.
  • the centering shoulder overlaps the holding disk 11 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the finishing trough 8 is partially filled with a conditioning agent, such as a spool oil 14, and the rotatable finishing roll 9 is partially immersed therein.
  • the trough 8 has walls which are high enough relative to the finishing roll 9 to prevent spatter due to rotation of roll 9 in the finishing oil 14.
  • the magnetic coupling provides an easily removable connection between the shaft 13 and the finishing roll 9 while providing a positive coupling to transmit torsion (i.e. rotation) from the shaft 13 to the finishing roll 9 without slippage.
  • the magnet 15 may be located in flange 10, or in both flange 10 and disk 11 with proper pole orientation.
  • centering means can be used to insure coaxial alignment of roll 9 with shaft 10, such as an extension of shaft 13 in the form of a point which would then engage in a corresponding conical depression or the like in the center of front flange of the finishing roll.
  • the finishing roll 9 may be easily separated from driving shaft 13 without requiring complicated disassembly steps. Since the trough 8 is open on top, the finishing roll 9 is broken away" against the magnetic attraction of magnet and flange 10, and pulled up and out of finishing trough 8 away from the holding disk 11. With equal ease the finishing roll 9 may be re-connected to the holding disk 11, at which point the magnetic force between ring 15 and front flange 10 pulls the finishing roll 9 against the holding-disk 11. By means of the conically widening centering shoulder 16, the finishing roll 9 is at this point automatically coaxially aligned with respect to the driving shaft 13.
  • yarn conditioning apparatus of the present invention is simple in construction, which assures sound operation for long periods of time and simple maintenance.
  • Yarn conditioning apparatus adapted to hold a source (2) of yarn, comprising a yarn (7) conditioning device (6) for receiving yarn,
  • said conditioning device including a rotatable drive shaft (13) joumalled in the ap paratus;
  • a trough (8) adapted to contain a conditioning agent a finishing roll (9) removably and magnetically coupled to said drive shaft (13) and at least partially located within, and surrounded by the trough for immersion into the conditioning agent (14), said shaft imparting rotation to said finishing roll;
  • end disc formed on the finishing roll (9) comprises a flange formed of soft iron
  • the magnetic means comprises a magnetic member (15) secured to the drive shaft (13) at the location of the flange disc (11), engaging the end disc of the finishing roll.
  • the centering means comprises a ring-shaped axially extending projection formed on the outer circumference of the end disc (10) the disc flange on the drive shaft fitting within the projection;
  • the magnetic means comprises a magnetic member (15) located proximate to the end face of one of said discs.
  • said centering means comprises a ring-shaped, axially extending projection formed on the outer circumference of said disc flange (10);
  • the magnetic means is disc-shaped and forms the end disc (11) to retain said finishing roll (9) coaxial with said drive shaft (13).
