Definitions

• the invention relates to a method for whirl cleaning in ring spinning machines according to the preamble of claim 1 and to an apparatus for carrying out the method.
• DE-PS 12 67 154 has a device for removing the thread turns from whorls, which consists of a sawtooth type scratching device and a suction device.
• the device moves together with the bobbin pulling device along the tensioning machine and removes the thread turns on the spindles when moving past.
• the entire device is attached to a running rail attached along the ring spinning machine, while it is supported with a further wheel against a guide rail.
• the sawtooth-like scratching device is flexibly mounted and thus elastically engages in the ring grooves to be cleaned on the spindles. This causes a not inconsiderable wear in the area of these ring grooves.
• a cleaning device of the type mentioned at the outset is the subject of EP-A 0 251 397.
• This device can also be moved along rails which are attached to the floor below the spinning machine.
• This device has a head consisting of a knife, a suction nozzle and a rotating round brush. The movement of the device along the spinning machine is carried out by a rotating Maltese reuz that is engaged
• SPARE BLADE stand with pins arranged below the spindle bench, each aligned with the spindle axis.
• the head executes a reciprocating transverse movement perpendicular to the longitudinal movement, such that the head approaches a spindle when the device approaches a spindle and moves away from the spindle when the device continues.
• the cleaning effect is insufficient, since the cleaning head is in engagement with the annular groove of a spindle only for a relatively short time. If the engagement time is increased, however, there is the disadvantage that the cleaning device can only be moved along the spindle bank at very low speed.
• the task arises to improve the process of whirl cleaning in such a way that a cleaning head is in engagement with the ring groove of the spindle for a sufficiently long time without the travel speed of the device along the spindle bench being reduced.
• each head is sufficiently long in engagement with the annular groove of a spindle.
• the belt is moved synchronously to the driving speed of the device, the run of the belt facing the spindles moving counter to this feed movement.
• the positioning device preferably consists of a further belt which carries pins, the mutual spacing of which corresponds to the spacing of the spindles.
• the positioning device preferably consists of a rail provided with bores, which runs along the spindle bank and has the recesses, the spacing of which is equal to the mutual spacing of the spindles.
• a wheel that supports the other belt is rotatably connected to a wheel of one belt.
• cop pulling devices which consist of a carriage which can be moved along the spindle bench and which carries an endless circulating chain.
• this can be inclined at an angle to the spindle bench and can carry gripping devices that grip the heads, which are pulled off the spindles when the carriage is moving and the chain rotates.
• the positioning between the carriage and the spindles inevitably results from the gripping devices. This is not comparable to the problem of cleaning.
• the cop pulling device has a horizontally running endless chain which carries vertically running rails in which size devices are guided. These gripping devices are guided along an inclined plane. The positioning between the movable carriage and the spindles also results from the interaction between the gripping devices and the cops.

In this position of the carrier 109, the wedge-shaped stop 143 engages between two rollers 142, with which the pins 124 are positioned exactly with respect to the index bolt 128. If the start command is generated by the central control, the device moves along the floor rails until the inductive buttons 133 each have a recess 126.
• the device is stopped and the swivel motor 127 is actuated so that the index pin 128 engages in a recess 126 and thus positions the frame 105 in the longitudinal direction of the rail 125, since the guide rollers 144 are in constant engagement with the rail 125 stand, the frame 105 is also positioned relative to the height of the rail 125.
• This adjustability is given by the displaceability along the rails 104 and the pivotability around the bolt 137.

If the carrier 109 is displaced in the direction of the rail 125, then the rollers 144 come to rest on the upper and lower sides and the roller 147 come to rest on the end face of the rail 125.
• the method of operation is as follows: the device moves from its waiting position to the first spindle 20 and is stopped there by the signals of the pushbuttons 133.
• the carrier 109 is in its position facing away from the rail 125, in which the rollers 142 are in engagement with the keel-shaped stop 143. Since the device is stopped relatively exactly in front of the first spindle, the pins 126, which face the rail 125, are each at the level of a recess 126.
• the swivel drive 114 is then actuated, which drives the carrier 109 in the direction of the Rail 125 shifts until the rollers 144, 147 engage the rail 125.
• the rubber rotary bearings 145 allow a pivoting movement of the carrier 109 relative to the frame 105 about its horizontal axis of rotation as well as relative movements between the frame and carrier in two axes running perpendicular to the rail axis. All pins 124 thus come into engagement with the recesses 126 facing them, so that the carrier 109 and thus the heads 117 are exactly aligned with the spindles 20 and the annular grooves 34. The device then moves continuously as described above along the rail 125. Relative changes in position between the rails 3 and 125 are compensated for by the bearings 145.
