  • ABSTRACT [30] Foreign Application Priority Data In an open-end spinning apparatus including a rotat- Nov. 17, 1973 Germany 2357514 ably mounted -"P roller member and a rotatably mounted spinning rotor member, only one of the 52 US. Cl. 57/58.95; 57/58.89; 57/58.9l; members is directly driven while the other member is 57/92 not directly connected to any drive unit and is indi- [51] Int.
  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for open-end spinning of the type in which fibers are broken up by means of a break-up roller which is disposed at least approximately coaxially with the spinning rotor and are then supplied to the spinning rotor, where they are spun into a continuous length of thread or yarn.
  • the break-up roller as well as the spinning rotor are provided with their own individual drives; so that the break-up roller can be caused to rotate independently of the spinning rotor.
  • Such indirect drive for the break-up roller can be re alized by the generation of flow and force fields which become effective between the driving part, e.g. the spinning rotor, and the driven part, e.g. the break-up roller.
  • the rotational movement of air produced by the spinning rotor can be utilized to drive the break-up roller.
  • At least one of the two parts, which rotate in the same direction the spinning rotor or the break-up roller is provided with a device for producing alternating magnetic effects in the facing surface of the respective other part.
  • At least one of the surfaces of the break-up roller which faces the spinning rotor is provided with one or a plurality of permanent magnets and the spinning rotor is made of an electrically conductive material. It is particularly advantageous for the spinning rotor to be backed by a ferromagnetic material.
  • the relative move ment between the driving part and the driven part induces eddy currents in the electrically conductive spinning rotor material so as to effect a magnetic coupling between the spinning rotor and the break-up roller.
  • the break-up roller may be the driving part and the spinning rotor the driven part.
  • At least one of the parts is mounted so that the distance between the surface of the permanent magnet of the break-up roller facing the spinning rotor and the associated countersurface of the spinning rotor is adjustable.
  • the change in spacing between surfaces which are in mutual interaction can be made possible by arranging the break-up roller to be displaceable in the axial direction with respect to the spinning rotor.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of an open-end spinning device constructed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along the line II-II of FIG. 1.
  • the open-end spinning device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 essentially includes a spinning rotor 1 and a break-up roller 2 arranged coaxially with the spinning rotor.
  • the spinning rotor 1 is supported,'by means of its hollow rotor shaft 1, in a housing 4 on roller bearings 3.
  • Shaft 1' is connected, via bolt 5 disposed between the two roller bearings, with a suitable: drive unit, for example an electric motor (not shown).
  • the break-up roller 2 which in part extends into spinning rotor 1, is mounted on two roller bearings 6 to be freely rotatable about an axle 7.
  • the axle itself is supported in a housing 8 which is fixed to housing 4.
  • axle whose threaded section 7 engages in a threaded bore 8 of housing 8 can be moved in the axial direction by rotating it, for example with the aid of a slot at its exposed end.
  • Unintended displacement of axle 7 is prevented by a safety nut 10 which is screwed onto threaded portion 7' at the outside of housing 8 and which engages a spring ring or lock washer 9.
  • the fiber material 1 1 to be spun into a thread or yarn is furnished to the break-up roller through an entrance bore 12 in housing 8 and is broken up on the roller 2 into individual fibers. As a result of centrifugal forces and the flow of air, these fibers then reach a fiber collection trough 1" of the spinning rotor l.
  • the fibers collected in the fiber collection trough are removed in a known manner as yarn 14 through a stationary guide tube 13 disposed in the bore of rotor shaft 1' and fastened to housing 4, this being effected with the aid of two conveying rollers 17 driven in respectively opposite directions.
  • a multiple pole permanent magnet 15 is disposed in breakup roller 2 at a definedaxial spacing 16 from frontal face 1" of spinning rotor 1 and at least the part of rotor 1 which defines face 1"" is made of electrically conductive, and possibly ferromagnetic, material.
  • electrically conductive, and possibly ferromagnetic, material are for example aluminum, copper, copper alloys and mild steel.
  • the rate of rotation of the break-up roller is determined, on the one hand, by the combing, or break-up, moment to be produced and the friction in bearings 6 and, on the other hand, by the magnetic follow-up moment of the spinning rotor l which can be set by adjusting spacing 16.
  • North and south poles N and S. are formed by suitable polarized regions of the disc-shaped permanent magnet 15. Seen in the peripheral direction, a north pole N is always followed by a south pole S, and vice versa, as shown in FIG. 2. There are no discernible separating lines between the individual poles.
  • the alternating magnetic effect between the spinning rotor 1 and the break-up roller 2 can also be produced by permanent magnets provided in the cylindrical surface of part 2, these permanent magnets being used in addition to permanent magnet 15.
  • axle 7 If a continuous variability in the axial position of axle 7 is required, it can be connected to the pistion of a hydraulic cylinder assembly via a suitable connection, for example a cardan joint or universal joint. In this case, the pairs of threads 7', 8' are replaced by a suitable movable fitting between axle 7 and housing 8.
  • ln apparatus for open-end spinning and including two parts mounted for coaxial rotation in the same direction and constituting, respectively, a break-up roller for breaking up a stream of fibers and a spinning rotor arranged to receive fibers which have been broken up by the break-up roller and to spin them into a length of yarn, the improvement comprising: direct drive means connected for directly rotating only one of said parts; and indirect drive means connected to at least one of said parts for causing the part not directly rotated by said drive means to be rotated exclusively by the rotation of said part which is directly driven by said drive means, while preventing physical driving contact between said parts.
  • said magnetic force effect means comprise at least one permanent magnet carried by said roller and said rotor is made of electrically conductive material at least in the region of its said surface.
