Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for thread monitoring on a textile machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such devices are mounted, for example, on the creel of a warping system in order to carry out a life check on the individual threads drawn off the bobbins. If a thread breaks, the winding system is automatically shut down.
  • a device of comparable generic type has become known, for example, from DE-C-29 15 749 by the applicant.
  • the control signal is triggered when the guard needle is swiveled out by touching electrical contacts.
  • the control signal is triggered in that the swinging-out guard needle interrupts a light beam directed at a photocell.
  • Such a thread monitor is known for example from CH-A-417 491 or from US-A-4,100,425.
  • Most known thread monitors are also provided with a device with which the guard needle can be blocked in the operating position, so that individual needles can remain empty in a row of guard needles arranged side by side without a control signal being triggered.
  • a disadvantage of the known devices is that the existence control on the one hand and the quality control on the other hand have to be carried out in different components and at different locations. This considerably increases the outlay on equipment and the possibilities of a malfunction.
  • numerous thread loops and thread passages are required, so that a relatively long time is required for threading.
  • the large additional thread deflections e.g. when merging and reopening the threads also increase the risk of thread breaks. It is therefore an object of the invention to improve a device mentioned at the outset in such a way that not only the existence control but also the quality control of the thread can be carried out in a single structural unit. This object is achieved according to the invention with a device which has the features in claim 1.
  • the light beam not only runs through the swivel range of the guard needle, but also through the thread plane itself, so that it takes on a double function.
  • the control signal is triggered both by irregularities in the thread or changes in the position of the thread, as well as by a light needle passing through the light beam, and the device is stopped.
  • only a single circuit is required to operate the light transmitter / light receiver arrangement.
  • the distance between the creel and winding machine can be reduced because of the quality control can already be carried out directly on the creel.
  • Figure 1 is a winding system 1 such as a warping plant shown in side view. It consists of a winding machine 2 and a creel 3.
  • Coils 4 are attached to the creel 3, the threads 5 of which each pass through a thread tensioner 6, which generates the desired thread tension. Subsequently, each thread passes a thread monitor 7 according to the invention, in which an existence or. a quality control is carried out.
  • the thread monitors 7 are each combined in rows, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • the threads arrive directly at the cross reed 8, in which the threads 5 are given a specific position in order to be fed as a thread assembly 10 to the warp reed 9, in which the thread assembly 10 receives its warping bandwidth.
  • the tapes are wound onto the warping drum 12 in a known manner via deflection rollers 11. If one of the threads guided by the thread monitor 7 breaks, a control signal is produced which immediately stops the winding machine 2. The same thing happens when a thread has an irregularity such as a fluff, a spinning defect, or a knot. When the machine is stopped, an optical signal can be triggered, which signals the operator the location of the source of the error.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 The structural design of the device according to the invention can be seen more clearly from FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • Several housing sections 18 are held together by threaded rods 26, 27.
  • a guard needle 19 is pivotally mounted on an axis 21, which runs approximately at a right angle to the thread direction.
  • the guard needles 19 are angled parallel to the thread and project with their free end through a slot 34 in the housing section.
  • a thread sensor 20, which can be pressed against the thread 5, is arranged at the end of each guard needle.
  • the watchdog needles could also be stored in a one-piece housing.
  • Each axis 21 is connected to a lever arm 13, at the end of which a tension spring 25 is attached to generate a spring preload.
  • the tension spring 25 can either be fastened to the inside wall of the housing, or it can be snapped into a catch 32 on the outside of the housing, as shown for example in FIG. 6, so that the spring tension is adjustable. Instead of the catch 32, the spring tension could also be adjusted, for example, with an adjusting screw or the like.
  • Each thread 5 is guided by a fixed thread guide 22 on the housing section 18 and by an adjustable thread guide 23 behind the housing section.
  • the adjustable thread guide 23 is arranged such that the thread is angled slightly after passing the thread sensor 20.
  • the spring preload of the guard needle 19 is set such that the guard needle is pressed against a stop 24 in the operating position. This stop is formed by a section of the slot 34. In the operating position, the thread 5 runs approximately parallel to the upper side of the housing section 18.
  • the housing sections 18 are laterally closed by end sections 14 and 15, respectively. Each of these end sections carries a raised housing section 28 which projects beyond the top of the housing sections 18. On this raised housing section, a light transmitter 17 is arranged on the end section 14 and a light receiver 16 on the end section 15. The light transmitter 17 is directed at the light receiver 16 and emits a light beam 29. This light beam 29 runs in the plane of the tensioned threads 5 in the operating position of the monitor needles 19 and at the same time in the pivoting range of the monitor needles 19. A signal lamp 31 is also arranged at the end section 15, which lights up when the machine stops. Both end sections 14, 15 carry the adjustable thread guide 23 on a cantilever.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Fadenüberwachung an einer Textilmaschine gemäss dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1. Derartige Vorrichtungen sind beispielsweise am Spulengatter einer Schäranlage montiert, um bei den einzelnen, von den Spulen abgezogenen Fäden eine Daseinskontrolle durchzuführen. Reisst ein Faden, so wird die Wickelanlage automatisch stillgelegt.The invention relates to a device for thread monitoring on a textile machine according to the preamble of claim 1. Such devices are mounted, for example, on the creel of a warping system in order to carry out a life check on the individual threads drawn off the bobbins. If a thread breaks, the winding system is automatically shut down.

Eine gattungsmässig vergleichbare Vorrichtung ist beispielsweise durch die DE-C-29 15 749 der Anmelderin bekannt geworden. Das Steuersignal wird dabei beim Ausschwenken der Wächternadel durch das Berühren elektrischer Kontakte ausgelöst. Gemäss einem anderen Prinzip wird das Steuersignal dadurch ausgelöst, dass die ausschwenkende Wächternadel einen auf eine Fotozelle gerichteten Lichtstrahl unterbricht. Ein derartiger Fadenwächter ist beispielsweise durch die CH-A-417 491 oder durch die US-A-4,100,425 bekannt geworden. Die meisten bekannten Fadenwächter sind ausserdem mit einer Vorrichtung versehen, mit welcher die Wächternadel in der Betriebsstellung blockiert werden kann, so dass bei einer Reihe nebeneinander angeordneten Wächternadeln einzelne Nadeln unbestückt bleiben können, ohne dass ein Steuersignal ausgelöst wird.A device of comparable generic type has become known, for example, from DE-C-29 15 749 by the applicant. The control signal is triggered when the guard needle is swiveled out by touching electrical contacts. According to another principle, the control signal is triggered in that the swinging-out guard needle interrupts a light beam directed at a photocell. Such a thread monitor is known for example from CH-A-417 491 or from US-A-4,100,425. Most known thread monitors are also provided with a device with which the guard needle can be blocked in the operating position, so that individual needles can remain empty in a row of guard needles arranged side by side without a control signal being triggered.

Bei vielen Textilmaschinen muss neben der reinen Daseinskontrolle des Fadens auch noch eine Qualitätskontrolle der einzelnen Fäden durchgeführt werden. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine in einer Ebene zusammengeführte Fadenschar durch einen Lichtstrahl geführt. Läuft ein Garnfehler z.B. in der Form eines Knotens oder einer Fadenfluse durch den Lichtstrahl, so vermindert sich die übertragene Lichtmenge, wodurch entsprechend der Empfindlichkeitseinstellung ebenfalls ein Steuersignal zum Stillsetzen der Maschine ausgelöst werden kann. Ein vergleichbares Prinzip ist beispielsweise durch die CH-A-553 270 bekannt geworden. Diese Qualitätskontrolle des Fadens wird üblicherweise unmittelbar vor der Wickeltrommel durchgeführt, da dort die Fäden ohnehin zusammengeführt werden müssen.In many textile machines, in addition to simply checking the existence of the thread, quality control of the individual threads must also be carried out. For this purpose, a group of threads brought together in one plane is guided through a light beam. If a yarn defect runs through the light beam, for example in the form of a knot or a thread fluff, this is reduced the amount of light transmitted, which can also trigger a control signal to stop the machine, depending on the sensitivity setting. A comparable principle has become known, for example, from CH-A-553 270. This quality control of the thread is usually carried out directly in front of the winding drum, since the threads have to be brought together there anyway.

Ein Nachteil der bekannten Vorrichtungen besteht darin, dass die Daseinskontrolle einerseits und die Qualitätskontrolle andererseits in verschiedenen Bauteilen und an verschiedenen Orten durchgeführt werden müssen. Dies erhöht den apparativen Aufwand und die Möglichkeiten einer Betriebsstörung erheblich. Ausserdem sind zahlreiche Fadenumschlingungen und Fadendurchführungen erforderlich, so dass relativ viel Zeit zum Einfädeln benötigt wird. Die grossen zusätzlichen Fadenumlenkungen z.B. beim Zusammenführen und Wiederöffnen der Fäden erhöhen ausserdem die Gefahr von Fadenbrüchen. Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine eingangs genannte Vorrichtung derart zu verbessern, dass in einer einzigen Baueinheit nicht nur eine Daseinskontrolle, sondern auch eine Qualitätskontrolle des Fadens durchgeführt werden kann. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss mit einer Vorrichtung gelöst, welche die Merkmale im Anspruch 1 aufweist.A disadvantage of the known devices is that the existence control on the one hand and the quality control on the other hand have to be carried out in different components and at different locations. This considerably increases the outlay on equipment and the possibilities of a malfunction. In addition, numerous thread loops and thread passages are required, so that a relatively long time is required for threading. The large additional thread deflections e.g. when merging and reopening the threads also increase the risk of thread breaks. It is therefore an object of the invention to improve a device mentioned at the outset in such a way that not only the existence control but also the quality control of the thread can be carried out in a single structural unit. This object is achieved according to the invention with a device which has the features in claim 1.

Der Lichtstrahl läuft dabei nicht nur durch den Schwenkbereich der Wächternadel, sondern auch noch durch die Fadenebene selbst, so dass er eine Doppelfunktion übernimmt. Sowohl durch Fadenunregelmässigkeiten bzw. Lageveränderungen des Fadens, wie auch durch ein Durchqueren des Lichtstrahls durch eine Wächternadel wird das Steuersignal ausgelöst und die Vorrichtung stillgesetzt. Es wird somit nur ein einziger Schaltkreis zum Betreiben der Lichtsender-/Lichtempfängeranordnung benötigt. Der Abstand zwischen Spulengatter und Wickelmaschine kann reduziert werden, da die Qualitätskontrolle bereits unmittelbar am Spulengatter durchgeführt werden kann.The light beam not only runs through the swivel range of the guard needle, but also through the thread plane itself, so that it takes on a double function. The control signal is triggered both by irregularities in the thread or changes in the position of the thread, as well as by a light needle passing through the light beam, and the device is stopped. Thus, only a single circuit is required to operate the light transmitter / light receiver arrangement. The distance between the creel and winding machine can be reduced because of the quality control can already be carried out directly on the creel.

Weitere Einzelmerkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und aus den Zeichnungen. Es zeigen:

  • Figur 2 eine Draufsicht auf eine erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung mit mehreren Wächternadeln,
  • Figur 3 einen Querschnitt durch die Ebene I-I gemäss Figur 2,

Further individual features and advantages of the invention result from the following description and from the drawings. Show it:
  • FIG. 1 shows the side view of a winding system in a greatly simplified illustration,
  • FIG. 2 shows a plan view of a device according to the invention with several guard needles,
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross section through plane II according to FIG. 2,
  • FIG. 4 the device according to FIG. 3 when passing a thread irregularity,

In Figur 1 ist eine Wickelanlage 1 wie z.B. eine Schäranlage in Seitenansicht dargestellt. Sie besteht aus einer Wickelmaschine 2 und aus einem Spulengatter 3.In Figure 1 is a winding system 1 such as a warping plant shown in side view. It consists of a winding machine 2 and a creel 3.

Auf dem Spulengatter 3 sind Spulen 4 aufgesteckt, deren Fäden 5 je einen Fadenspanner 6 passieren, der die gewünschte Fadenspannung erzeugt. Anschliessend passiert jeder Faden einen erfindungsgemässen Fadenwächter 7, in dem eine Daseins-bzw . eine Qualitätskontrolle durchgeführt wird. Die Fadenwächter 7 sind jeweils reihenweise zusammengefasst, wie nachstehend noch genauer erläutert wird.Coils 4 are attached to the creel 3, the threads 5 of which each pass through a thread tensioner 6, which generates the desired thread tension. Subsequently, each thread passes a thread monitor 7 according to the invention, in which an existence or. a quality control is carried out. The thread monitors 7 are each combined in rows, as will be explained in more detail below.

Vom Spulengatter 3 herkommend gelangen die Fäden direkt zum Kreuzriet 8, in welchem die Fäden 5 eine bestimmte Lage erhalten, um als Fadenverband 10 dem Schärriet 9 zugeführt zu werden, in welchem der Fadenverband 10 seine Schärbandbreite erhält. Die Bänder werden in bekannter Art und Weise über Umlenkrollen 11 auf die Schärtrommel 12 aufgewickelt. Reisst einer der durch die Fadenwächter 7 geführten Fäden, so wird ein Steuersignal produziert, welches die Wickelmaschine 2 unverzüglich stillsetzt. Das gleiche geschieht, wenn ein Faden eine Unregelmässigkeit wie z.B. eine Fluse, einen Spinnfehler oder einen Knoten aufweist. Gleichzeitig mit dem Stillsetzen der Maschine kann ein optisches Signal ausgelöst werden, welches der Bedienungsperson den Ort der Fehlerquelle signalisiert.Coming from the creel 3, the threads arrive directly at the cross reed 8, in which the threads 5 are given a specific position in order to be fed as a thread assembly 10 to the warp reed 9, in which the thread assembly 10 receives its warping bandwidth. The tapes are wound onto the warping drum 12 in a known manner via deflection rollers 11. If one of the threads guided by the thread monitor 7 breaks, a control signal is produced which immediately stops the winding machine 2. The same thing happens when a thread has an irregularity such as a fluff, a spinning defect, or a knot. When the machine is stopped, an optical signal can be triggered, which signals the operator the location of the source of the error.

Der konstruktive Aufbau der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung ist aus den Figuren 2 und 3 genauer ersichtlich. Mehrere Gehäuseabschnitte 18 werden durch Gewindestangen 26, 27 zusammengehalten. In jedem einzelnen Gehäuseabschnitt ist eine Wächternadel 19 an einer Achse 21 schwenkbar gelagert, welche etwa im rechten Winkel zur Fadenrichtung verläuft. Die Wächternadeln 19 sind parallel zum Faden abgewinkelt und ragen mit ihrem freien Ende durch einen Schlitz 34 im Gehäuseabschnitt. Am Ende jeder Wächternadel ist ein Fadenfühler 20 angeordnet, der gegen den Faden 5 pressbar ist. Alternativ könnten die Wächternadeln aber auch in einem einstückigen Gehäuse gelagert sein.The structural design of the device according to the invention can be seen more clearly from FIGS. 2 and 3. Several housing sections 18 are held together by threaded rods 26, 27. In each individual housing section, a guard needle 19 is pivotally mounted on an axis 21, which runs approximately at a right angle to the thread direction. The guard needles 19 are angled parallel to the thread and project with their free end through a slot 34 in the housing section. A thread sensor 20, which can be pressed against the thread 5, is arranged at the end of each guard needle. Alternatively, the watchdog needles could also be stored in a one-piece housing.

Jede Achse 21 ist mit einem Hebelarm 13 verbunden, an dessen Ende eine Zugfeder 25 zum Erzeugen einer Federvorspannung befestigt ist. Die Zugfeder 25 kann entweder an der Gehäuseinnenwand befestigt sein, oder sie kann wie z.B. in Figur 6 dargestellt in eine Raste 32 auf der Gehäuseaussenseite eingerastet werden, so dass die Federspannung verstellbar ist. Anstelle der Raste 32 könnte die Federspannung z.B. auch mit einer Stellschraube oder dergleichen verstellt werden.Each axis 21 is connected to a lever arm 13, at the end of which a tension spring 25 is attached to generate a spring preload. The tension spring 25 can either be fastened to the inside wall of the housing, or it can be snapped into a catch 32 on the outside of the housing, as shown for example in FIG. 6, so that the spring tension is adjustable. Instead of the catch 32, the spring tension could also be adjusted, for example, with an adjusting screw or the like.

Jeder Faden 5 wird durch eine feste Fadenführung 22 auf dem Gehäuseabschnitt 18 und durch eine verstellbare Fadenführung 23 hinter dem Gehäuseabschnitt geführt. Die verstellbare Fadenführung 23 ist dabei so angeordnet, dass der Faden nach dem Passieren des Fadenfühlers 20 etwas abgewinkelt wird. Die Federvorspannung der Wächternadel 19 ist derart eingestellt, dass in der Betriebsstellung die Wächternadel gegen einen Anschlag 24 gepresst wird. Dieser Anschlag wird durch einen Abschnitt des Schlitzes 34 gebildet. In der Betriebsstellung verläuft der Faden 5 etwa parallel zur Oberseite des Gehäuseabschnittes 18.Each thread 5 is guided by a fixed thread guide 22 on the housing section 18 and by an adjustable thread guide 23 behind the housing section. The adjustable thread guide 23 is arranged such that the thread is angled slightly after passing the thread sensor 20. The spring preload of the guard needle 19 is set such that the guard needle is pressed against a stop 24 in the operating position. This stop is formed by a section of the slot 34. In the operating position, the thread 5 runs approximately parallel to the upper side of the housing section 18.

Die Gehäuseabschnitte 18 werden durch Endabschnitte 14 bzw. 15 seitlich abgeschlossen. Jeder dieser Endabschnitte trägt einen erhöhten Gehäuseabschnitt 28, der über die Oberseite der Gehäuseabschnitte 18 hinausragt. An diesem erhöhten Gehäuseabschnitt ist am Endabschnitt 14 ein Lichtsender 17 und am Endabschnitt 15 ein Lichtempfänger 16 angeordnet. Der Lichtsender 17 ist auf den Lichtempfänger 16 gerichtet und emittiert einen Lichtstrahl 29. Dieser Lichtstrahl 29 verläuft in der Ebene der gespannten Fäden 5 in der Betriebsstellung der Wächternadeln 19 und gleichzeitig im Schwenkbereich der Wächternadeln 19. Am Endabschnitt 15 ist ausserdem eine Signallampe 31 angeordnet, welche bei einem Maschinenstopp aufleuchtet. Beide Endabschnitte 14, 15 tragen an einem Ausleger die verstellbare Fadenführung 23. Diese ist in den Auslegern durch nicht näher dargestellte Mittel verstellbar.The housing sections 18 are laterally closed by end sections 14 and 15, respectively. Each of these end sections carries a raised housing section 28 which projects beyond the top of the housing sections 18. On this raised housing section, a light transmitter 17 is arranged on the end section 14 and a light receiver 16 on the end section 15. The light transmitter 17 is directed at the light receiver 16 and emits a light beam 29. This light beam 29 runs in the plane of the tensioned threads 5 in the operating position of the monitor needles 19 and at the same time in the pivoting range of the monitor needles 19. A signal lamp 31 is also arranged at the end section 15, which lights up when the machine stops. Both end sections 14, 15 carry the adjustable thread guide 23 on a cantilever. This can be adjusted in the cantilevers by means not shown in detail.

Ohne eingespannten Faden 5 wird die Wächternadel 19 von der in Figur 3 dargestellten Betriebsstellung unter dem Einfluss der Feder 25 in eine Alarmstellung verschwenkt, welche in Figur 5 dargestellt ist. In der Alarmstellung liegt die Wächternadel 19 am Anschlag 30 an, der ebenfalls durch einen Abschnitt des Schlitzes 34 gebildet wird. Selbstverständlich könnten diese Anschläge auch durch verstellbare Bauelemente gebildet werden, so dass die Relativlage der Wächternadel in der Betriebsstellung bzw. in der Alarmstellung eingestellt werden kann.Without the thread 5 clamped, the guard needle 19 is pivoted from the operating position shown in FIG. 3 under the influence of the spring 25 into an alarm position which is shown in FIG. 5. In the alarm position, the guard needle 19 rests against the stop 30, which is also formed by a section of the slot 34. Of course, these stops could also be made using adjustable components are formed so that the relative position of the guard needle can be set in the operating position or in the alarm position.

Die Funktion der Vorrichtung bei einer Fadenunregelmässigkeit ist aus den Figuren 4 bis 6 ersichtlich. Bei Figur 4 hat soeben eine Fluse oder ein Knoten 33 den Lichtstrahl 29 passiert, wobei am Lichtempfänger 16 eine reduzierte Lichtstärke gemessen wird. Diese Abweichung genügt, um ein Steuersignal auszulösen, mit dessen Hilfe die Wickelanlage stillgesetzt werden kann. Die Differenz der Lichtintensität kann dabei ein Mass für die Störgrösse bilden, so dass die Messund Steuereinrichtung derart eingestellt werden kann, dass bei geringen Störgrössen kein Steuersignal ausgelöst wird. Wie aus Figur 4 ersichtlich ist, verändert sich die Position der Wächternadel 19 beim Feststellen einer Fadenunregelmässigkeit nicht.The function of the device in the event of a thread irregularity can be seen from FIGS. 4 to 6. In FIG. 4, a fluff or a knot 33 has just passed the light beam 29, a reduced light intensity being measured at the light receiver 16. This deviation is sufficient to trigger a control signal which can be used to shut down the winding system. The difference in light intensity can form a measure of the disturbance variable, so that the measuring and control device can be set in such a way that no control signal is triggered in the case of small disturbance variables. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the position of the guard needle 19 does not change when a thread irregularity is ascertained.

Figur 5 zeigt den Bruch eines Fadens 5, wobei die Wächternadel 19 von der Betriebsstellung in die Alarmstellung ausschwenkt und dabei den Lichtstrahl 29 durchquert. Der Anschlag 30 kann aber auch derart angeordnet sein, dass der Lichtstrahl 29 in der Alarmstellung nicht nur durchquert, sondern vollständig unterbrochen wird. Zu diesem Zweck könnte an der Wächternadel 19 auch noch eine Fahne oder Blende angeordnet sein. Die Fotozelle bzw. der Lichtempfänger 16 registriert die vorübergehende oder ggf. die dauernde Unterbrechung des Lichtstrahls und setzt auf diese Weise ebenfalls die Wickelmaschine ausser Betrieb. Die gleiche Konsequenz hat selbstverständlich auch eine blosse Lockerung des Fadens, ohne dass es zu einem eigentlichen Fadenbruch kommt. Sobald die Fadenspannung unzulässig stark nachlässt, gelangt die Wächternadel ebenfalls in den Bereich des Lichtstrahls 29 und löst dadurch das Steuersignal zum Anhalten der Vorrichtung aus.FIG. 5 shows the breakage of a thread 5, the guard needle 19 swiveling out of the operating position into the alarm position and thereby crossing the light beam 29. The stop 30 can, however, also be arranged such that the light beam 29 not only crosses through in the alarm position, but is completely interrupted. For this purpose, a flag or screen could also be arranged on the guard needle 19. The photocell or the light receiver 16 registers the temporary or, if appropriate, the permanent interruption of the light beam and in this way likewise puts the winding machine out of operation. Of course, the same consequence also results in a mere loosening of the thread without the thread actually breaking. As soon as the thread tension drops to an unacceptably high extent, the guard needle also reaches the area of the light beam 29 and thereby triggers the control signal to stop the device.

Vorzugsweise ist der Anschlag 30 so angeordnet, dass die Wächternadel ohne Faden den Lichtstrahl ganz durchquert und in der Alarmstellung ausserhalb des Lichtstrahls liegt. So können einzelne Wächternadeln unbestückt bleiben, ohne dass eine Arretierung erforderlich ist. Die Vorrichtung ist sowohl in der Alarmstellung als auch in der Betriebsstellung funktionsfähig.The stop 30 is preferably arranged in such a way that the guard needle passes completely through the light beam without a thread and lies outside the light beam in the alarm position. In this way, individual guard needles can remain empty without locking. The device is functional both in the alarm position and in the operating position.

Eine weitere Funktion der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung ist in Figur 6 dargestellt. Danach kann auch eine Ueberspannung des Fadens ein Steuersignal auslösen. Bei einem unzulässig überspannten Faden 5 ist die Wächternadel 19 unter der Wirkung der Kraftresultierenden C einer Hebelwirkung ausgesetzt. Diese führt dazu, dass die Wächternadel 19 etwas zurückfedert, so dass sich die Fadenposition um den Winkel Alpha verschiebt. Diese Fadenabweichung kann vom Lichtempfänger 16 ebenfalls registriert werden. Ersichtlicherweise muss für diese Funktion die Wächternadel etwas federnd ausgebildet sein. Die Umschlingung bzw. die Umlenkung des Fadens kann dadurch verändert werden, dass die verstellbare Fadenführung 23 entweder in Pfeilrichtung A, d.h. in Richtung des Fadens 5, oder in Pfeilrichtung B in der Schwenkebene der Wächternadel 19 verstellt wird.Another function of the device according to the invention is shown in FIG. An overvoltage of the thread can then also trigger a control signal. In the case of an inadmissibly overstretched thread 5, the guard needle 19 is exposed to leverage under the effect of the resultant force C. This causes the guard needle 19 to spring back somewhat, so that the thread position shifts by the angle alpha. This thread deviation can also be registered by the light receiver 16. Obviously, the watchdog needle must be somewhat resilient for this function. The looping or the deflection of the thread can be changed in that the adjustable thread guide 23 either in the direction of arrow A, i.e. is adjusted in the direction of the thread 5, or in the direction of arrow B in the pivoting plane of the guard needle 19.

Neben dem Anhalten der Wickelvorrichtung kann ausserdem eine gut sichtbare Signallampe 31 aktiviert werden, so dass das Bedienungspersonal den Ort der Störung sofort lokalisieren kann. Eine schwenkbare und unter Federvorspannung gelagerte Wächternadel 19 wird durch den Faden 5 in einer Betriebsposition gehalten. In der Fadenebene wird ein Lichtstrahl 29 von einem Lichtsender 17 auf einen Lichtempfänger 16 gerichtet. Bei einer Abweichung der Lichtintensität von einem vorbestimmten Sollwert wird ein Steuersignal ausgelöst, mit dessen Hilfe die Anlage stillgesetzt werden kann. Das Steuersignal wird sowohl durch eine Fadenunregelmässigkeit als auch durch ein Verschwenken der Wächternadel 19 ausgelöst. Auch blosse Positionsabweichungen des Fadens können eine Auslösung des Steuersignals hervorrufen.In addition to stopping the winding device, a clearly visible signal lamp 31 can also be activated so that the operating personnel can immediately locate the location of the fault. A pivotable and spring-loaded guard needle 19 is held by the thread 5 in an operating position. In the thread plane, a light beam 29 is directed from a light transmitter 17 onto a light receiver 16. If the light intensity deviates from a predetermined target value, a control signal is triggered, with the aid of which the system can be stopped. The control signal is triggered both by a thread irregularity and by a pivoting of the guard needle 19. Even sheer Positional deviations of the thread can trigger the control signal.
