Description
- This invention relates to a yarn traversing apparatus for obtaining a wound yarn package with a good wound shape and without cob-webbing at a high speed winding.
- More specifically, the present invention relates to a yarn traversing apparatus, which comprises at least one pair of rotary blades which rotate in opposite directions and which apparatus transfer the yarn between the blades.
- Conventionally known yarn traversing apparatuses of the above-described type are, for example, disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 53-22178, Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 46-36258, and Japanese Patent Laid-open No. Sho 59-194977.
- However, in these conventionally known apparatuses, a yarn temporarily becomes in a free condition, i.e., the yarn becomes in an unstable condition, when the yarn is transferred from one of oppositely rotating yarn guides to the other yarn guide. Accordingly, there occurs a disadvantage that the obtained yarn quality is deteriorated because high shoulders are formed at ends of the package corresponding to traverse ends.
- Further, there occurs another disadvantage, which is sometimes referred to as "cob-webbing" and wherein a yarn wound on the shoulders is slipped down from the shoulders.
- In addition, in the conventionally known apparatuses, since a so called "free length", i.e., a distance from the yarn guide to the contact roller, becomes long, and accordingly, there is an inconvenience that the high shoulders occur remarkably.
- Besides, in the conventional apparatuses, when a yarn is wound at a high speed higher than 5,000 m/min, the yarn is fluctuated due to the moment of inertia when the traverse motion is reversed, and the above-described disadvantages are remarkable.
- Furthermore, in the conventional apparatuses, since a common guide rail is disposed corresponding to rotary blades which are rotating in opposite directions and since the rotary blade rotating in opposite directions are arranged adjacent to each other, the traverse speed cannot be set freely. As a result, the following problems are inherent to the apparatuses.
- When the yarn is moved from the center of traverse stroke toward the end of the traverse stroke, the yarn is moved behind the movement of the rotary blade by a distance equal to a distance from the position of the rotary blade to the point where the yarn reaches the contact roller multiplied by tan ϑ, wherein ϑ stands for a winding angle. Further, when the traverse motion of the yarn is reversed at the end of the traverse stroke, the winding angle ϑ is also reversed, and the movement of the yarn in a traversing direction is temporally stopped while the traverse motion is reversed. Thus, high shoulders are generated at the ends of the obtained package. Accordingly, the yarn quality may be deteriorated because of the high shoulders, and cob-webbing may occur due to loosening of the yarn.
-
DE 32 43 985 A1, which corresponds to the preamble ofclaim 1, discloses a yarn winding apparatus using first and second rotary blades as first and second traverse means to traverse the yarn back and forth across a predetermined stroke. - It is an object of the present invention to provide a new traversing apparatus, by which the above-described disadvantages are obviated.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a traversing apparatus, by which a yarn is surely traversed and wound in a package without forming high shoulders or cob-webbing.
- According to the present invention, the above-described disadvantages are obviated and the above-described objects are achieved by an apparatus according to
claim 1. - It is preferred that the yarn is released from the first traverse means after the yarn is moved by the second traverse means to a position deviated toward the center of traverse stroke from an imaginary line connecting the first traversing means and a point where the yarn is in contact with the contact roller, when the yarn moved to the end of traverse stroke by the first traverse means is engaged with the second traverse means. In order to move and release the yarn as described above, it is preferred for the yarn traversing apparatus to be so arranged that following equations are satisfied.

- Some embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- Referring to Fig. 1 which is a schematic view seen from the front of a winding apparatus of the present invention, after a yarn Y is drawn by a drawing apparatus (not illustrated), the yarn Y is fed through a
snail guide 8, which serves as a fulcrum of traverse motion, and is wound by awinding apparatus 1. - Upon winding operation, while the yarn Y is traversed to and fro (in a direction perpendicular to the sheet) by a traversing
apparatus 3, it reaches acontact roller 4 at a point P and wraps around thecontact roller 4. - Two
bobbins 6 are inserted onto abobbin holder 5 and are frictionally driven by thecontact roller 4. Thus, two yarns Y wrapping around thecontact roller 4 are simultaneously wound onto thebobbins 6 to form twoyarn packages 7. However, the description below is done with reference to a yarn, - The
contact roller 4 is rotatably mounted on aframe 9 projecting from aslide block 2 which is vertically movable along thewinding machine 1. Theframe 9 further has the traversingapparatus 3 mounted thereon above thecontact roller 4, which apparatus performs the traversing operation. - The construction of the traversing
apparatus 3 of the present embodiment will now be explained in detail. - As illustrated in Fig. 2, the
traversing apparatus 3 comprises a pair of units UL and UR which are horizontally disposed and which are detachably secured to theframe 9 by bolts 10. - As illustrated in Fig. 3, each of the units UL and UR constituting the traversing
apparatus 3 comprises two members U1 and U2, which are disposed upwardly and downwardly, respectively. - Fig. 3 is a detailed cross sectional view of one of the traverse units illustrated in Fig. 2.
- The upward traverse unit U1 includes
rotary blades rotary blades - As illustrated in Fig. 2, the
frame 9 has anelectric motor 43 disposed at the front end thereof. The rotation of themotor 43 is transmitted to agear 29 of the unit UL through agear 44 which is attached to the output spindle of themotor 43. Thegear 29 engages with anadjacent gear 32, which in turn transmits the power to the unit UR. -
Reference numerals spindles rotary blade 23 of the upward traverse unit U1 and therotary blade 25 of the downward traverse unit U2 to thespindles - The

blades embodiment 30°) in a feeding direction of the yarn Y relative to the latter plane formed by the traversing motion of the yarn Y. - A guide 37 (Fig. 2) is secured to the unit U1, and a
guide 38 is secured to the unit U2. The shape ofguide rail 37a formed on theguide 37 is so selected that the yarn Y is traversed at a substantially constant speed along theguide rail 37a by therotary blades - In the meantime, the shape of the
guide rail 38a formed on theguide 38 is so selected that when the yarn Y is conveyed by therotary blades rotary blades rotary blades rotary blades rotary blades - Arrows in Fig. 2 show the rotational directions of the rotary blades.
- Due to the above-described construction, the yarn Y is moved by the
rotary blade 24 of the first traverse means from the center of traverse stroke toward one of the ends of traverse stroke. Then, the yarn Y moved to the end of traverse stroke is transferred to therotary blade 26 of the second traverse means and is reversed from the end of traverse stroke toward a center of traverse stroke. Thereafter, traversing of the yarn Y moved toward the center of traverse stroke is taken over by therotary blade 23 of the first traverse means, and when the yarn Y reaches the other end of traverse stroke, the yarn Y is transferred to therotary blade 25 of the second traverse means. Thus, the yarn Y is again reversed toward the center of traverse stroke. The traversing operation is repeated in a foregoing manner. - The distance between the
rotary blades - Referring to Figs. 4, 5 and 6, the yarn transferring steps of the present invention will now be explained in detail.
- At
time ① in Fig. 4, a yarn Y is moved to the left by therotary blade 24 of the first traverse means. The yarn Y is moved to the left at an almost constant speed from the center of traverse stroke. When the yarn Y reaches the turning point near the left end of the traverse stroke (condition denoted by ②), the yarn Y comes in contact with therotary blade 26 which is rotating in the right. However, therotary blade 24 continues to move the yarn Y to the left. At this time, the moving speed to the right of therotary blade 26 of the second traverse means is seven times as large as the traversing speed V of the yarn Y near position denoted by ①. The speed of therotary blade 26 may be in a range between 1.5 to 7 times of the yarn speed V. - The yarn is moved by the
rotary blade 26 to a position slightly deviated toward the center of traverse stroke from an imaginary line connecting a point, where the yarn is in contact with thecontact roller 4, and therotary blade 24. Then, the yarn Y engages with theguide rail 37a of the upward unit U1, and the yarn Y is released from therotary blade 24. -

- stands for stroke of the yarn Y wrapping around the
contact roller 4; - L1
- stands for a distance from the
rotary blade 24 to the wrapping point on the contact roller; and - ϑ
- stands for a winding angle of the yarn.
-
- The yarn Y, which has been disengaged from the
rotary blade 24, is gradually decreased its speed from an initial speed of 7V to a speed almost equal to V by therotary blade 26 from a postion denoted by ② to a position beyond the position ② ' where the winding angle ϑ is reversed, and then, the yarn Y is moved to the right by therotary blade 26 as illustrated in ③ in Fig. 5. - The situations where the yarn Y reaches the left traverse end will now be explained in detail. As illustrated in Fig. 6 (a), the
rotary blade 26 has anauxiliary blade portion 26a which is forked and with which the yarn Y is engaged. Thus, the yarn Y is restricted by thegrooved portion 26b of therotary blade 26 when the yarn Y is released from therotary blade 24 so that adverse influences caused by moment of inertia and unstableness caused by sudden changes in tension of the yarn Y when the yarn Y is disengaged from therotary blade 24 are prevented. Therotary blade 25 is similarly shaped. Thegrooved portions rotary blades - Fig. 6 (b) shows the transfer of the yarn Y at
time ③ in Fig. 5, and Fig. 6 (c) shows the transfer of the yarn Y attime ④ in Fig. 5. - When the yarn Y is transferred near the center of the traverse stroke as illustrated in ④ in Fig. 5, the yarn Y engages with the
rotary blade 23 of the first traverse means, which is disposed upwardly from therotary blade 26 of the second traverse means by a predetermined distance, and the yarn Y is moved to the right at a speed V. - After the
rotary blade 23 reaches near an extended line of an imaginary straight line connecting the wrapping point of the yarn Y on thecontact roller 4 and therotary blade 26, the yarn Y, which has been conveyed by therotary blade 26 and which is to be conveyed by therotary blades guide rail 38 of the downward traverse unit U2 as illustrated in Fig. 6 (c). Then, the yarn Y is disengaged from therotary blade 26, and it is moved to the right by therotary guide 23 of the first traverse means as illustrated in ⑤ in Fig. 5. - Thereafter, the yarn Y reaches the right end of the traverse stroke. When the yarn Y, which has been conveyed by the
rotary blade 23, reaches the turning point (conditions denoted by ⑥ in Figs. 4 and 5), it is engaged with therotary blade 25 which is rotating to the left. At this moment, therotary blade 23 continues to convey the yarn Y to the right. The yarn Y engages with theguide rail 37a of the upper traverse unit U1 at a position where the yarn Y is slightly deviated by therotary blade 25 form an imaginary straight line connecting the contacting point on the contactingroller 4 and therotary blade 23, and the yarn Y is disengaged from therotary blade 23. -
- The yarn Y disengaged from the
rotary blades 23 is gradually decreased its speed from a speed of 7V to a speed of almost V by therotary blade 25 until the winding angle is reversed in a manner similar to the above-described ② , and ② ', and it is moved to the left as denoted by ⑦ in Fig. 4. - When the yarn Y is moved near the center of the traverse stroke as denoted by ⑧ in Fig. 4, it engages with the
rotary blade 24, which is disposed upwardly from therotary blade 25 by a predetermined distance, and it is conveyed at a speed V by therotary blade 24. - After the
rotary blade 24 reaches near an extended line of an imaginary straight line connecting the wrapping point of the yarn Y on thecontact roller 4 and therotary blade 25, the yarn Y, which has been conveyed by therotary blade 25 and which is to be conveyed by therotary blade 24, engages with theguide rail 38a of the downward traverse unit U2. Then, the yarn Y is disengaged from therotary blade 25, and it is moved to the left by therotary blade 24 as illustrated by ① in Fig. 4. - The yarn speeds during the above-described traversing operation are set by combinations in the shapes of the
rotary blades guide rail 37a, and therotary blades guide rail 38a. - The above-described transfer of the yarn is repeated, and a yarn package is formed on the
bobbin 6 inserted onto thebobbin holder 5. - The relationships between the yarn conveying speeds by the rotary blades of the present invention and the hardness of the outer periphery of the wound package will now be explained.
- It is preferred that the difference in hardness of the outer periphery of the obtained package is small in the entire width of the package in order to minimize the uneveness in the yarn quality and to enhance the strength of the package. In order to meet this end, according to the present invention, the yarn conveying speeds of the rotary blades are specially designed. As a result, the difference in hardness of the outer periphery of the obtained package can be small according to the present invention. The inventive method will now be explained.
- Figs. 7 (a) to 7 (f) are diagrams showing the relationships between the traverse strokes and the yarn conveying speeds of the rotary blades, wherein the abscissa, i.e., X-axis, denotes the traverse stroke, and the ordinate, i.e., Y-axis denotes the speed ratio (a broken line) of the first traverse means to the traverse speed at the center of the traverse stroke and the speed ratio (a solid line) of the second traverse means to the traverse speed at the center of the traverse stroke. Reference numeral Ⓐ denotes the position where the winding angle is reversed at the end of the traverse stroke. Further, Figs. 8 (a) to 8 (f) show the hardness of the packages obtained by the speed illustrated in Figs. 7 (a) to 7 (f).
- The abscissa, i.e., X-axis, denotes the width of the package, Ⓑ denotes the end of the package, Ⓒ denotes the center of the package, and only left half is illustrated since the package hardness is almost symmetrical for the left and right portions of the package.
- The ordinate, i.e., Y-axis, denotes the package hardness which is a mean value of six packages measured by "Yarn Hardness" manufactured by Nakaasa Sokki, in Japan, at every 5 mm from the end of the packages. Since the hardness at position Ⓑ, which is the ends of the packages, cannot be measure, the value at the position 5mm away from the position Ⓑ is substituted therefor.
- The data illustrated in Fig. 8 are obtained under the following winding conditions. Polyester drawn yarn of 75 de/36 filaments with a circular cross section is wound at a speed 5,600 m/min at a winding angle of 6.8° under a winding contacting pressure of 16 kg, at a winding tension between 14 and 16 g. The winding machine is of a spindle drive type, wherein six packages are wound on a single bobbin holder.
- In Figs. 7 (a) to 7 (c), the traverse speed of the first traverse means is almost constant, and the traverse speed of the second traverse means is increased to a
value 2 to 7 times as large as that of the first traverse means at the end of the traverse stroke and is gradually decreased before the point Ⓐ. The package hardness of the obtained packages are correspondingly illustrated in Figs. 8 (a) to 8 (c). - In Figs. 7 (d) and 7 (e), the traverse speed of the second traverse means is decreased beyond that of the first traverse means at the center of the traverse stroke in order to minimize the difference in the package hardness. In Fig. 7 (d), the speed of the second traverse means is decreased by 5 % relative to the constant speed, and in Fig. 7 (e), the speed of the second traverse means is decreased by 8 % relative to the constant speed, the package hardness of the obtained packages are correspondingly illustrated in Figs. 8 (d) and 8 (e).
- Fig. 7 (f) show the winding under the traverse speeds of the first and second traverse means are almost constant, and package hardness is illustrated in Fig. 8 (f).
- In the explanations above, the decrease of the traverse speed at the center of the traverse stroke is performed by the second traverse means, however, it may be done only by the first traverse means, or by both the first and the second traverse means.
- Although in the illustrated embodiment, the distance between the
rotary blades rotary blades - In the illustrated embodiment, as illustrated in Fig. 2, the rotary blades are integrally formed. However, as illustrated in Figs. 9 (a) and 10 (a),
holder 40 andyarn guide 41, which is, for example, made of ceramic, are separately formed and are secured to each other bybolts 42. - Further, as illustrated in Figs. 9 (b) and 10 (b), the
holder 40 and theyarn guide 41 may be rivetted 43 or secured by bolts, and theholder 40 may have anengaging shoulder portion 40a which receives centrifugal force. - In addition, as illustrated in Figs. 9 (c) and 10 (c), the
holder 40 and theyarn guide 41 are separated and are rivetted 44 or secured by bolts, and an engaging portion is formed in a circular recess so as to receive centrifugal force. - When the
guide 38 hasprojections 38b at the ends of theguide rail 38a forming groove 38c as illustrated in Fig. 11, the yarn Y is securely guided into the grooved portion of therotary blades rotary blades - When the distance between the first traverse means and the second traverse means is excessively small, for example a distance between 5 and 10 mm in a conventional machine, the yarn may be rubbed between the rotary blades of both the traverse means, and accordingly, the obtained yarn may be remarkably deteriorated since fluffs may be created, and since uneveness in strength of the yarn may occur. It is preferred that the distance between the first and second traverse means is set between 15 and 70 mm.
- Although the above-described embodiments, the traversing apparatus is used to simultaneously wind two packages onto a bobbin holder, the number of the bobbins may be one or more than two.
- The winding apparatus may be of an automatic type which has a plurality of bobbin holders.
- Further, in the embodiments, the
rotary blades recess portions 26b, theportion 26b in Fig. 6 may be omitted while theportion 26a is formed. - According to the yarn traversing apparatus of the present invention, a wound yarn package with a good wound shape and without cob-webbing can be obtained at a high speed winding, and uneveness in the yarn quality of the obtained yarn can be prevented.
