Definitions

  • a yarn device which has two continuously and oppositely oppositely spaced rollers (a withdrawing roller and a reversing roller) and a pinch roller shiftable, in response to the tension of the spun yarn, into engagement with either withdrawing to advance the yarn forward from a spinning device to a winding device, or the reversing reversing to return the yarn, in case of breakage, to the spinning device for piecing.
  • the pinch roller projects the space between the withdrawing roller and the reversing roller.
  • the pinch roller alternately cooperate with a common, shiftable,-idler pinch roller supported on a carrier which, in turn, is swingably held on a fixed pivotal shaft and which may be automatically swung thereabout by means of a control system responsive to the yarn tension.
  • the pinch roller as a result of yarn breakage, is brought automatically into an operative engagement with the reversing roller and, after the piecing-up is completed, it is automatically brought into an operative engagement with the withdrawing roller.
  • the rotational axis of the pinch roller and the pivotal axis of the carrier are arranged axially parallel to one another and to the rotational axes of the reversing roller and the withdrawing roller.
  • the pinch roller is radially movably held on the carrier with respect to the pivotal axis of the latter and is continuously urged, solely by a spring, in a direction away from the pivotal axis of the carrier.
  • the pivotal axis of the carrier is disposed on that side of the rotational axis of the pinch roller which is remote from the withdrawing and reversing rollers.
  • the distance between the pivotal axisv of the carrier and the rotational axis of the pinch roller is several times greater than the diameter of the latter.
  • the angle between the two work positions of the pinch roller relative to the pivotal axis of the carrier is, in this known device, greater than the angle between the rotational axes of the withdrawing and reversing rollers relative to the pivotal axis of the carrier.
  • the rotational support of the pinch roller is stationarily affixed on the swingable carrier and further, the pincher roller in both of its work positions, projects into the space between the withdrawing roller and the reversing roller.
  • the aforenoted structural arrangement makes it possible that the extent of shift of the rotational axis of the 7 pinch roller between its two work positions is very small, preferably not more than 5 mm, and may be as little as only slightly more than the thickness of the yarn.
  • the pinch roller is disengaged from its associated withdrawing or reversing roller during each change from one work position into the other immediately after beginning of its switching motion and is moved freely towards the other cylinder, so that immediately after the beginning of a switching motion to reverse the yarn feed, there is no clamping action on the yarn.
  • the yarn may be trained about the pinch roller through a quite substantial angle without the appearance of an undesirably significant increase in the aforenoted transversal motion of the yarn.
  • the pinch roller may be caused to apply relatively large pressures on the engaged driven rollers to ensure a secure, non-slip yarn feed in either direction and also to expedite the reversal of the yarn feed by rapidly reversing the rotation of the pinch roller by virtue of the substantial engaging pressure between the pinch roller and the withdrawing or reversing roller.
  • the device according to the invention permits an overall simplification of significant portions of the entire open-end spinning apparatus.
  • the yarn reserve may be of reduced length, or, if its length is given, more immediately successively automatic piecing attempts may be made than it has been possible in devices known heretofore.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic side elevational view of an open-end spinning apparatus incorporating the invention and FIG. 2 is an enlarged, more detailed side elevational view of a component shown in FIG. 1 and constituting a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 the apparatus schematically shown therein serves for the open-end spinning of a yarn and comprises a conventional driven spinning turbine having fiber grooves 11 into which opened fibers are continuously fed through a supply tube 14'.
  • the fibers are continuously spun into a yarn 12 which is withdrawn at a constant speed through a tube 13 from the housing of the spinning turbine.
  • the yarn passes through a feeding device 15 which is constructed according to the invention and which withdraws the yarn with a constant speed from the spinning turbine 10 in direction A and which also can. feed the yarn in a reverse direction B back into the spinning turbine 10.
  • the yarn feeding device 15 has two stationarily supported, continuously and oppositely driven rollers: a withdrawing roller 16 and a reversing roller 17. As best seen in FIG. 2, the device 15 further has a carrier 19 which is swingable about a stationary pivot 18 and which carrier 19 supports by means of a rotary bearing integral therewith, an idling pinch roller 20.
  • the pinch roller 20 By swinging the carrier 19 selectively into the one or the other direction, the pinch roller 20 may be pressed either against the withdrawing roller 16 or the reversing roller 17, so that the yarn l2 is'clar'nped either between the pinch roller 20 and the withdrawing roller 16, in which case it is fed in the withdrawing direction A, or 'it is clamped between the pinch roller 20 and the reversing roller 17 in which case the yarn is advanced in the direction of arrow B.
  • the pinch roller 20, as well as the withdrawing roller 16 and the reversing roller 17 may be rubber-coated.
  • the yarn downstream of the outlet opening of the tube 13, passes through a continuously operating yarn tension sensor 22. Thereafter, the yarn passes through a yarn guide 23 and is then introduced into the yarn feed device 15. Then the yarn 12 is successively deflected by a stationary yarn guide 24, a resiliently and displaceably supported yarn guide 25 and a further stationary yarn guide 26. Subsequently, the yarn enters a winding device 27 which, in the presently described embodiment, is formed of a cross bobbin 28 and an associated grooved drum 29. The latter is, in a known manner, continuously driven with regulated rpm s. The rpm regulation is effected as a function of the position of the yarn guide 25 in such a manner that, at all times, the yarn guide 25 is automatically reset in its position shown.
  • the purpose for deflecting the yarn by means of the movable yarn guide 25 between the two stationary yarn guides 24 and26 is to form a yarn loop constituting a yarn reserve.
  • the yarn loop automatically builds up to its original extent while the grooved drum 29 temporarily rotates with a somewhat smaller rpm.
  • the radii of the withdrawing roller 16 and the reversing roller 17, driven continuously and with a constant rpm are of equal magnitude.
  • the rpm of the reversing roller 17 may be greater than that of the withdrawing roller 16, so that a reverse feed of the yarn back into the spinning turbine 10 may be effected with an increased speed for the purpose of shortening its duration.
  • the diameter of the pinch roller 20 is, in this embodiment, larger than those of the rollers 16, 17.
  • the pinch roller 20 regardless of its position, continuously projects into the space which extends between the reversing roller 17 and the withdrawing roller 16 and which is bounded by two planes, each in itself being tangential to both rollers l6, 17.
  • the dis tance between the rotational axis 30 of the pinch roller 20 and the pivotal axis 18 of the carrier 19 is approximately one-third of the radius of the pinch roller 20 and is of a magnitude" of approximately 1 cm. It may be generally said that the last-named distance is preferably smaller than one-half of the radius of the pinch roller 20. Further, it is also preferred if the last-named distance is smaller than the radius of either the withdrawing roller 16 or the reversing roller 17.
  • FIG. 2 the pinch roller 20 is shown in a position in which it is pressed against the reversing roller 17 for effecting a reverse feed of the yarn 12.
  • the carrier 19 is supported in a stand 31 shown in dash-dotted lines and may be swung about its pivotal axis 18. It is preferred that the pivotal angle of the axis 30 related to the axis 18 be not greater than one-half the angle between the axes of the withdrawing and reversing rollers 16, 17, related to the axis 18.
  • the lastnamed angle" rnay be relatively large and is preferably 60-120.
  • the carrier 19 has coplanar abutment faces 32 and 33 which are situated at opposite sides of a plane defined by axes l8 and 30 and which are engageable by pusher rods 36 and 35, respectively, for causing a swinging motion of the carrier 19 and thus pressing the pinch roller 20 either against the withdrawing roller 16 or the reversing roller 17.
  • the push rods 35 and 36 are linearly guided in parallel arranged guide means 39, 40.
  • the push rod 35 is continuously urged by a precompressed spring 37 towards the abutment face 33.
  • the magnitude of the spring bias is such that the pinch roller 20 is pressed against the reversing roller 17 with a clamping force necessary for clamping the yarn 12, as long as the other push rod 36 is in its withdrawn position.
  • the push rod 36 is fixedly attached to a piston rod 41 of a piston 42 forming part of a pneumatic power cylinder assembly 43. Both chambers 44 and 45 of the latter may be alternately pressurized from an air pressure source by means of a switching valve 46 operable by an electromagnet 47. The non-pressurized chamber is caused to communicate with the ambient atmosphere.
  • the yarn tension sensed by the yarn sensor 22 (FIG. 1) is transformed into an electric signal by a transducer 50.
  • the output of the latter is applied to the electromagnet 47 which is energized if the slackness of the yarn indicates a breakage thereof in the spinning turbine 10.
  • the electromagnet 47 As soon as the yarn is pieced up, the electromagnet 47, as a result of the resumption of normal operational yarn tension, is de-energized by the transducer 50.
  • the pinch roller 20 is pressed against the withdrawing roller 16 by means of the piston-and-cylinder assembly 43, so that the yarn is withdrawn from the spinning turbine with a constant speed. If there is a yarn breakage in the spinning turbine 10, the electromagnet 47 is energized and the switch valve 46 assumes a position in which the cylinder chamber 44 is pressurized. As a result, the carrier 19 moves into a position in which the pinch roller is pressed against the reversing roller 17 by virtue of the spring force exerted on the push rod 35. Thus, the yarn is fed in a reverse direction (arrow B) with a constant speed.
  • the pinch roller 20 is very rapidly lifted off the reversing roller 17 and is pressed against the withdrawing roller 16 into its position shown in dash-dotted lines in FIG. 2.
  • the pressure of the pinch roller 20 on the withdrawing roller 16 is so dimensioned that the yarn 12 is clamped securely and the pinch roller 20 is brought almost in an impact-like manner to the circumferential speed of the continuously driven withdrawing roller 16, whereupon the normal withdrawal (i.e. forward feed) of the yarn from the spinning turbine 10 is resumed.
  • the extent of shift of the pinch roller 20 is very small. It is apparent that this shift may be even smaller if the pivotal axis 18 is located closer to the rotational axis 30. Thus, the transversal motions of the yarn that occur during the swinging motion of the carrier 19 are also very small, so that the length of the yarn portion between the yarn guide 24 and the yarn sensor 22 remains practically constant during the swinging motion of the carrier 19.
  • the moment of inertia of this assembly is also relatively small and, accordingly, the swinging motion of the carrier 19 may occur very rapidly. It is to be added that the torque applied to the carrier 19 for effecting its swinging motion is not greater than the torque which produces the pinching pressure.
  • the rotational axis 30 of the pinch roller 20 is spaced from a plane which contains the pivotal axis 18 of the carrier 19 and which is parallel to a plane defined by the rotational axes of the withdrawing roller 16 and the reversing roller 17. It is feasible that for both operational positions of the pinch roller 20, its axis 30 be situated either on the one or onthe other side of said plane that contains the axis 18. The arrangement in the above-described embodiment is preferred, i.e. the axis 30 is situated adjacent that side of the plane containing axis 18 which is remote from the plane containing the axes of the withdrawing and reversing rollers 16, 17.
  • a forward and reverse feeding device for withdrawing and piecing yarn in an open-end spinning apparatus including a spinning turbine, the improvement comprising 1 A. a continuously driven withdrawing roller having a fixed rotational axis,
  • an idling pinch roller rotatably supported by bearing means affixed to said carrier, the rotational axes of said pinch roller, said withdrawing roller, said reversing roller and the pivotal axis of said carrier being spaced from and parallel with one another, said pinch roller being adapted to assume a first work position in which it is in engagement with and is driven by said withdrawing roller for withdrawing said yarn from said spinning turbine in a forward feed, said pinch roller being adapted to assume a second work position in which it is in engagement with and is driven by said reversing roller for reintroducing said'yarn in a reverse feed into said turbine upon yarn breakage, in both said work positions said pinch roller projecting into the space between said withdrawing roller and said reversing roller,
  • E. actuating means connected to said carrier for causing a swinging motion thereof to move said pinch roller from one work position into the other and F. sensor means for energizing said actuating means as a function of yarn tension to cause said pinch roller to move into said second work position upon yarn breakage and to move into said first position upon piecing of the reintroduced yarn in said spinning turbine.
  • said actuating means includes A. a first setting member comprising an energizable power means which, when energized, applies a first torque to said carrier for moving said pinch roller into one of said work positions and forcing it into contact with one of said continuously driven rollers and B. a second setting member comprising a spring means to continuously apply a second torque to said carrier for moving said pinch roller into the other of said work positions and forcing it into contact with the other of said continuously driven rollers, said second torque being smaller than and opposite to said first torque.
