Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for driving and supporting a spinning element, and more particularly to such an apparatus in which the spinning element is directly driven by an electromotor, the rotor of which is arranged in the extension of the shaft of the spinning element.
  • one object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages and to achieve an apparatus for supporting a spinning element which is driven directly by an electromotor and which is not sensitive to the required high rotational speeds.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such an apparatus for supporting a spinning element which is adapted to be adjusted so as to compensate for wearing.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide such an apparatus for supporting a spinning element that is adapted to be lubricated in a simple manner.
  • the present invention is embodied in an apparatus having an electromotor for directly driving a spinning element, the rotor of which is supported by a shaft connected to the spinning element; this shaft being supported by means of idler supporting discs at at least two supporting locations, each supporting location having at least two. supporting idler discs on which the shaft counterrotates; the diameter of the supporting discs being a multiple of the diameter of the shaft. The latter is radially retained in contact with these supporting discs by means of at least one retaining means.
  • an electromotor In order not to limit the size of an electromotor to be employed and to facilitate the installation of the motor, the latter is cantilever-mounted.
  • the electromotor In a space-saving execution the electromotor is arranged between the supporting locations.
  • the mounts for the supporting discs are radially adjustable relative to the shaft in order to allow compensation for wear of the supporting discs.
  • the axial fixation is assured in that the shaft bears against a supporting means adapted to convey a lubricant.
  • the supporting means is a rotating disc which engages a circumferential groove provided on the shaft.
  • FIG. 1 shows in section one embodiment of the present invention with a cantilever-mounted electromotor.
  • FIG. 2 shows in a diagrammatic representation another embodiment with an electromotor mounted between two support locations.
  • the spinning turbine 1 as shown in FIG. 1 has a shaft 2 which, at its end remmote from the spinning turbine is provided with a section 20 of smaller diameter. On this section is mounted the rotor 30 of an electromotor 3.
  • the stator 31 of the electromotor 3 is fixed to the motor housing 32 and is detachably mounted on the bearing housing 4 of the spinning device.
  • the shaft bearing the rotor 30 is supported in the region between the spinning turbine 1 and the electromotor 3 by means of idler supporting discs 5 and 6.
  • the diameter of the supporting discs 5 and 6, which are rotatably mounted on part 41 of the bearing, is a multiple of the diameter of shaft 2. At each supporting location are provided two coplanar supporting discs 5 or 6, but at each supporting location there can also be provided more than two supporting discs, if desired.
  • a retaining magnet 42 which is mounted on part 41 between two pairs of supporting discs 5 and 6 pulls shaft 2 into the notch formed between each pair of discs and securely retains the shaft in this position. In this way rotor 30 is always maintained in a coaxial position with the stator 31.
  • Part 41 bearing the supporting discs 5 and 6 is detachably mounted on bearing housing 4 of the spinning mechanism.
  • a screw 43 for this purpose, that is, in a direction toward and away from the axis of stator 30.
  • part 41 is adjustable in a vertical direction that is, in a direction toward and away from the axis of stator 30. Such an adjustment is made possible by providing a slot 44 in part 41 and thus permits compensation of a diminution of the diameters of supporting discs 5 and 6 due to gradual wear or grinding.
  • the shaft 2 of the spinning turbine 1 and the shaft section 20 bearing the rotor 30 are axially retained by means of an abutting element which can be in the form of a rotatable disc 7.
  • an axially shifting movement is given to the shaft. This shifting movement may for example be obtained by skewing at least one disc of one pair of coplanar supporting discs 5 or 6 so that the disc axes intersect at a small angle.
  • the shaft 2 is driven by the electromotor 3 or, more precisely, its rotor 30 mounted on shaft 2, the latter counterrotates on discs 5 and 6 and simultaneously rotates disc 7.
  • rotation disc 7 conveys a lubricant upwardly from a reservoir or container which forms a lubrication film between disc 7 and the end of section 20 bearing on disc 7.
  • the described cantilever-mounting of electromotor 3 on the outside of the space between discs 5 and 6 is extraordinarily advantageous in that the diameter of the motor is not limited by the supporting discs or their bearings, respectively; moreover, by mounting the rotor 30 on the reduced area of shaft 2, the full magnetic field becomes effective.
  • the electromotor 3 between the supporting locations, each being constituted by a pair of supporting discs 5 or 6 and, in that way, to save space.
  • the stator 31 with motor housing 32 is once more fixed to the bearing housing of the spinning mechanism, and rotor is mounted on shaft 2 of the spinning turbine 1.
  • the shaft 2 can be retained in the notches between the pairs of supporting discs 5 and 6 by means of one or more retaining discs 8 having their axes at the side of shaft 2 substantially opposite the axes of discs 5 and 6, the rotor 30 being radially secured in that way.
  • the electromotor for driving of the spinning element can be executed in any desired manner, for example in the form of an asynchronous motor, a synchronous motor or a D. C. motor. It is also possible to provide a motor with a bell-type armature, the moment of inertia being extremely low for such a motor.
  • the supporting of the electromotor according to the present invention allows a silent and direct driving of the spinning element and enables a long working life as the shaft of the spinning element bearing the rotor of the motor only rolls on the supporting idler discs; there is only a small wear of the discs even when the spinning element is braked or blocks.
  • Apparatus for driving and supporting a spinning element having a shaft comprising an electromotor having a rotor for driving said spinning element, said rotor being fixed on a part of said shaft, at least two shaft-supporting locations each having at least two supporting discs for rotatably supporting said shaft, the diameter of each supporting disc being a multiple of the diameter of the supported shaft, rotatable disc means for preventing axial shifting of said shaft and circumferential groove means carried by the shaft for receiving said rotatable disc.
