Definitions

  • ABSTRACT An apparatus for cleaning a rotating brush, especially at a textile machine, comprising a movable cleaning comb in operable engagement with the brush and a stripper operatively associated with the cleaning comb and movable relative thereto.
  • Drive means serve to produce the movements between the cleaning comb and brush and between the stripper and cleaning comb.
  • Pneumatic means lead away the stripped-off contaminants.
  • the apparatus of the invention which solves the previously enumerated objectives is characterized by the features of a movable cleaning comb in engagement with the brush and a relatively movable stripper operatively associated with the cleaning comb.
  • drive means in order to produce the movements between the cleaning comb and brush and between the stripper and cleaning comb and pneumatic means for conducting away the stripped-off contaminants.
  • the stripper apart from the rotating cleaning brush, to only drive the cleaning comb and the detachment of the contaminants or the like from the cleaning comb is effectuated by virtue of the movement of the cleaning comb relative to the stripper during such time as the cleaning comb is moved out of engagement with the cleaning brush.
  • the stripper it would be for instance possible to arrange the stripper to be stationary at a location neighboring the path of movement of the cleaning comb, according to a preferred constructional embodiment of the invention it is contemplated to cause the stripper to carry out a rocking or pivotal motion which brings its stripper edge together with the tips of the needles of the cleaning comb into the direct effective zone or operable region of the pneumatic means.
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrates the cleaning apparatus of this development together with part of a traveling blower
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary view looking in the direction of the arrow A of FIG. 1.
  • reference character 10 generally designates a conventional traveling blower which has only been shown in part and in sectional view since a more comprehensive illustration is unnecessary for the understanding of the underlying concepts of this invention.
  • the traveling blower 10 which is moved along a not more fully illustrated path of travel, and specifically an approximately horizontal path of travel, serves for the pneumatic cleaning of parts of one or a number of textile machines which have not been shown to preserve clarity in illustration.
  • traveling blower 10 will be seen to possess a downwardly directed filter means, here shown in the form of a filter sieve or screen 1 1, through which there is sucked-up ambient air by means of a ventilator or fan 12 arranged in the traveling blower 10.
  • a ventilator or fan 12 arranged in the traveling blower 10.
  • the ventilator 12 the contaminants or the like contained in the sucked-up air during its entry into the traveling blower 10 tend to deposit at the underside or lower face of the filter sieve 11.
  • the path of travel of the traveling blower 10 extends over a rotating cleaning brush 14 with the bristles 18 of brush 14 contacting the filter sieve 11.
  • the contaminants adhering to the filter means can be removed therefrom by the cleaning action of the rotating brush 14.
  • the cleaning apparatus encompasses a cleaning or cleaner comb generally designated by reference character 20.
  • the cleaning comb 20 consists of a comb spine or back portion 22 and a row or series of comb needles 23 or equivalent structure.
  • the cleaning comb 20 is pivotably supported through the agency of the pivot pins or journals 24 in bearing or support plates 25, only one of which has been shown in the drawing, and such cleaning comb is operatively connected with a suitable drive 40, for instance a drive motor. Now it is possible by means of the drive 40 to rock or pivot the cleaning comb 20 from the depicted solid line working position,
  • a stripper or scraper 26 having a stripper edge 30 bears by means of the latter at the comb needles 23 of the cleaning comb 20.
  • the stripper 26 is also pivoted out of the full or solid line rest position depicted in FIG. 1 and specifically is pivotably moved through a working path of travel into a terminal position which has been shown in phantom lines in FIG. 1. In this end or terminal position the stripper 26, by means of its stripper edge 30, reaches the free ends 34 (FIG.
  • the suction mouthpiece 36 forms an inlet into a suction channel or duct 46.
  • a ventilator or fan 44 which is effective within the channel 46 generates an air flow which is directed into the suction mouthpiece 36 and such air flow wipingly contacts the tips or free ends 34 of the comb needles 23 and the stripper edge 30 of the stripper 26.
  • the ventilator 44, the drive motor 40 as well as a motor 48 for the drive of the brush 14 are all controlled by a control device 42 which switches-in and switchesoff the corresponding motors in a predetermined sequence, and specifically for instance as a function of the throughpassage or travel of the traveling blower 10.
  • the control unit or device 42 When the traveling blower 10, as it moves along its defined path of travel, approaches the cleaning apparatus of the invention as discussed above, then in not particularly illustrated manner the control unit or device 42 is placed into operation which, in turn, places into operation the drive motor 48 for the brush 14 as well as preferably also the ventilator 44 or the like. Consequently, the brush 14 now assumes its rotational mode when the traveling blower has reached the cleaning apparatus and the coating formed of fibers and dust which adheres to the filter sieve or screen 11 is removed by the brush 14. Upon rotation of the brush [4 in the clockwise direction the contaminants which are entrained thereby are guided to the location of the comb needles 23 of the cleaning comb 20, and specifically at the side of the comb needles confronting the suction mouthpiece 36.
  • a part of the contaminants which have been stripped-off of the bristles 18 of the brush 14 by the comb needles arrive at the region of the air flow directed towards the suction mouthpiece 36 and are directly delivered to the channel 46 and a not particularly illustrated collecting device or collector operatively connected with such channel or duct 46.
  • Another part or portion of the contaminants, predominantly consisting of fibers, and which has the tendency of fixedly adhering to the bristles 18 is blocked or held back by the comb needles 23 and collects thereat.
  • the control device 42 receives a pulse which serves to place into operation the motor drive 40.
  • the cleaning comb 20 is pivoted and the comb needles 23 move out of the brush 14 and in turn rock or pivot the stripper 26. Consequently, the stripper edge 30 of the stripper 26 which pivots against the action of the spring 32 slides along the comb needles 23 towards their tips or free ends 34 during such time as the latter reaches the phantom-line illustrated cleaning position.
  • the stripper or scraper edge 30 of the stripper 26 thus scrapes away the fibers adhering to the comb needles 23 in a direction towards the needle tips 34 and thus brings such scraped fibers or the like also into the direct effective zone or operable region of the suction mouthpiece 36.
  • the drive 40 again pivots the cleaning comb 20 back into the starting position into which also follows the stripper or scraper 26 under the action of the ten sioned spring 32.
  • the drive of the ventilator 44 and the motor 48 are interrupted by the control device 42 until there is to be carried out the next cleaning operation at the filter sieve or screen 11.
  • the inventive apparatus is employed in conjunction with a textile machine, then it is possible to combine the suction action for the materials stripped-off the cleaning comb 20 with a pneumatic cleaning of the textile machine.
  • a suction mouthpiece 36 at the region of the tips of the cleaning comb 20 in the cleaning position there can be insured that at that location there prevails a sufficiently intensive air current or flow which transports away the stripped-off fibers.
  • An apparatus for cleaning a rotating brush, especially at a textile machine comprising a movable cleaning comb operatively engaging with said brush, a relatively movable stripper operatively associated with said cleaning comb, drive means for generating the movements between the cleaning comb and brush and between the stripper and the cleaning comb, and pneumatic means for conducting away strippedoff contaminants.
  • said pneumatic means incorporates a suction mouthpiece located in the neighborhood of a common terminal position of the needle free ends and a stripper edge of said stripper.
