Definitions

  • the second machine or group of machines constitutes the subsequent stage(s) of production.
  • a common rail system is operatively associated with the spinning machines on whose rails a plurality of carriages are disposed for transporting the spools.
  • Spool holders for holding the spools are provided on each carriage.
  • At least one rail runs along each spinning machine, this rail forming part of the rail system.
  • the spool railing (gripper rail, frame or lattice) of the second spinning machine is formed by the at least one rail running along the side of this machine in combination with the carriages brought on that rail which at their arrival carry full spools.
  • the invention relates to an installation for transporting full spools produced on at least a first textile machine to at least a second textile machine.
  • the invention relates, more particularly, to an installation for transporting full spools produced on atleast a first spinning machine to at least a second spinning machine, and for transporting back emprty spools to the first machine or group of machines.
  • the invention is particularly useful for transporting the spools between two spinning machine groups.
  • the second spinning machine (group of machines) is (are') provided with a spools railing (railings).
  • the spinning machine or group of machines which performs second or subsequent manufacturing step i.e., the second machine or group of machines
  • the spinning machine or group of machines which performs second or subsequent manufacturing step may be roving frames or, preferably, finishing spinning machines. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention isnot limited to these specific types of stages.
  • the full spools (bobbins, yarn packages or the like) filled with wound textile material produced on flyers or similar roving machine(s), must be transported to the subsequent manufacturing stage(s) and there they must be exchanged for empty spools. The empty spools must then again be taken back to the first roving machine(s) and there, at the next doffing, must be exchanged for full spools.
  • the principle object of the present invention is to avoid the above-mentioned difficulties.
  • Spinning machines are provided with a combined rail system.
  • a plurality of carriages which serve for transportation of spools are provided on the rails of the rail system.
  • the carriages are provided with spool holders for holding spools.
  • At least one rail of the rail system is disposed along each spinning machine.
  • a spool railing (gripper rail, frame or lattice) of each second spinning machine is formed by at least one rail disposed alongside thereof in combination with the arriving carriages carrying full spools transported on said rail.
  • the novel installation according to the present invention has considerable advantages over previous types of spool transportation and spool exchange arrangements. It enables the automation of spool transportation and, if necessary, the automation of spool exchange, in case this is desired. It should be noted, however, that it has advantages even when the spool carrying carriages which move on the rails of the rail system, are at least partially moved by hand, since an operator can simultaneously move a plurality of such carriages by coupling a number of such carriages together, or by pushing the last carriage in a row of carriages causing the preceding carriages to move with the last carriage.
  • the rails carrying the carriages form a portion of the railing of the machine instead of the stationary railing utilized heretofore, according to the present invention it is not necessary any longer to exchange by hand the empty spools for full spools. Rather, the carriages carrying empty spools are sent back to the first spinning machine or groups of spinning machines automatically or by hand, and they are replaced by the corresponding full spools loaded at the first spinning machine or group of spinning machines, the full spools being transported along the rail or rails of the second spinning machine or group of spinning machines. Thus an exchange of the spools carried by the carriages is necessary only at the first spinning machine or group of spinning machines.
  • the exchange is here also simplified, since it can be easily provided that before the start of the spool exchange a row or several rows of carriages with empty spools are brought on the rail or rails provided along the corresponding machine.
  • the empty spools are spaced apart by distances approximating the spindle separation and are located laterally to or overhead of the spindles or a spindle row or rows, so that the operator, when he faces the spindle, can exchange a full spool for an empty one without the need of changing his position.
  • Upon exchange of each spool he moves to the next spindle and carries out the next operation of spool exchange.
  • the carriages can be developed in such a way that they carry at any given time only one spool. Generally, however, it is particularly useful if each carriage carries several spools. Preferably, the spools are held suspended from the carriage. If required, other arrangements may be provided for the spools on the carriages; for example, the spools may be arranged in horizontal or vertical configurations. Since the spools are unwound on the second machine or group of machines while they are carried on the carriages, the spool holders must be developed in such a way that the spool may rotate in the required manner in order to unwind if the roving yarn or the like is not to be unwound overhead.
  • the carriages when they are positioned on the rail or rails disposed along the second spinning machine or machines, form part of the spool railing'( gripper rail, frame or lattice), they are to be brought onto these rails in such positions as is necessitated by the spindle sepa-' ration (pitch) of the spindle row or spindle rows of the spinning machine in question.
  • the spools which are affixed or mounted on the carriages are positioned in the same manner above the spindles or stretch mechanisms or devices or the other developed working instrumentalities of the second spinning machine or group of spinning machines as was the case in the conventional stationary spool railings (gripper rail, frame or lattice).
  • the spool or bobbin holders which are positioned in a row ofcarriages in which the neighboring or adjacent carriages come in contact with each other, are approximately equidistant from each other. These distances or spaces correspond to the center distances of the neighboring spools of a correlated spindle row of the spinning machine in question or, in the case of correlation of several, parallel rails to the spindle row in question, to a corresponding multiple of the center distance of the adjacent spindles. Another possibility would be to stop the carts at the corresponding rails at predetermined points, for, example, by means of brakes, movable stops or the like. In this case, the separations of the spool holders need not coincide with the spindle separation (pitch) or a multiple of the spindle separation (pitch).
  • the carriages can be brought into predetermined positions in which, in the vicinity of each spindle of one or several spindle rows at the start of the spool exchange there is respectively positioned an empty spool on a carriage.
  • the spindle separation (pitch) of the spindle rows of the second spinning machine or group of machines can be matched to the spindle separation (pitch) of the first spinning machine or machines.
  • the corresponding distances of the spools are determined approximately, when the carriages are positioned in one or several rows on or along the rail or rails disposed along this machine whereby adjacent carriages of each line of carriages touch each other. If the spindle separation (pitch) of the first and second spinning machines differ from each other in such a manner that this cannot be accomplished with carriages of equal length, then the already mentioned techniques can be used.
  • the carriages of each carriage row can be arranged at the first spinning machine or machines, and/or naturally also at the second spinning machine ormachines at a distance from each other on the displaced rails along the machine in question, for instance, by hand or by means of automatic devices.
  • the carriages have spacer devices which can be adjusted to different positions, for example, cams or eccentric discs, levers or the like, which can be brought, at least into two different positions preferably automatically, in which they produce the different center distances between the carriages which come in contact with each other.
  • the invention makes it also possible to effect or to carry out the necessary spool exchange at the first spinning machine or group of machines by means of automatic spool exchange devices, if this is desired.
  • the transportation of the carriage from the first spin ning machine(s) to the second spinning machine(s) and back can be done without difficulties or effected either entirely or partially automatically.
  • the rail system has ascending sections along which conveying means, preferably endless conveying chains, are provided which automatically transport the arriving carriages upwardly on the ascending section. If to each such an ascending section there is joined a descending rail section extending to the next ascending section, then the carriages on the rail sections may move by themselves because of the force of gravity exerted on them until they are stopped, either by means of displaceable stop means, abutments or the like, which can be moved into their path of motion or travel. One can then stop the carriages of a line of carriages at predetermined points on the descending section. By switching the stop means or abutments into positions in which they do not stop the carriages any longer, the carriages by themselves start to move further on the descending section.
  • the points of time at which the exchange of the spools for the first and the second spinning machines is to take place cannot be coordinated insuch a manner that one can at once transport the full spools manufactured or obtained from the first spinning machine or group of spinning machines to the second spinning machine or group of spinning machines, or to transport immediately to a first spinningmachine or machines those spools which have been emptied at a second spinning machine or machines. If only for this reason, it is suitable to arrange that the rail system is provided with at least one intermediate carriage storage area for temporary storage of carriages, which means preferably consists of several rails, which are selectively available via one or several rails which lead to the intermediary storage means.
  • the rail system is endless, i.e., the carriages on the rail system can always circulate in the same sense or direction.
  • the rails running along the first and/or second spinning machine or machines terminate at the spinning machine in question.
  • the rail system at the spinning machine or spinning machines terminates in the form of a rail head or heads.
  • the carriages are constructed in such a manner that all their spool holders at the first spinning machines are provided with full spools.
  • switches can, for example, be controlled by electrical or pneumatic means or also by hand, either by remote controls or by controls which are disposed at the switches proper.
  • remote controls are suitable from a central service station at one or a few selected locations.
  • the invention has been described above in relation to spinning machines by way of examples, since here one was concerned with the aforementioned aims.

  • the present invention therefore concerns in general also an installation for the transporting of spools and for the mounting support of spools to be unwound in the vicinity of working areas of a spinning machine having at least one gripper rail or the like, which machine is characterized in that instead of a stationary gripper rail of the textile machine, there is arranged at least one rail along the textile machine which forms part of a rail system and which leads at least to one loading station, and that on the rails there is disposed a plurality of carriages having spool holders which are to be provided withfull spools at the loading station.
