Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automatic winding machine with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a generic winder is known from DE 39 19 542 A1.
  • the transport system of this winding machine also has a secondary transport path via which textile bobbins that have not been fully unwound are fed back from a return path of the feed path.
  • a first preparation device is arranged on this secondary transport path, which is specially equipped for thread search on residual bobbins.
  • a complete preparation is carried out on this preparation device, that is to say that after the thread search, the thread start is deposited at a defined point in such a way that it can be easily grasped in the winding unit and fed to the thread connecting members.
  • a second preparation device is arranged on the feed path and is particularly suitable for preparing full textile bobbins.
  • the thread start is first searched for and loosened in the area of the cop's foot, while the main component of this preparation device is a so-called jacket preparation, which searches for the thread start on the main winding body.
  • the second preparation device the beginning of the thread can neither be found on the cops foot nor on the main winding body, since it is deposited either in the form of top turns on the sleeve tip or in the sleeve.
  • preparation of the textile bobbins at the second preparation device is only carried out if the textile bobbins have not yet been prepared.
  • completely prepared textile bobbins are no longer treated in the second preparation device in the first preparation device. Rather, you can run through this second preparation device undisturbed. This prevents the effectiveness of the preparation from being reduced due to the failure of a preparation attempt on a textile bobbin prepared as such.
  • an immediately following textile bobbin can get into the preparation device more quickly.
  • the second preparation device which, as already explained, is passed through by all textile bobbins fed to the winder, must ensure a high cycle performance.
  • the thread search is not limited to a specific area. In most cases, before searching for the beginning of the thread on the main winding body of the textile bobbin, loops in the area of the core of the tube have to be released. If necessary, a relatively steep rear turn leading to the foot turns must also be solved. Therefore, in most cases, this second preparation device consists of several individual stations to which separate tasks are assigned. Since within the scope of this invention, thread search measures are no longer to be carried out on textile bobbins that have already been prepared, the control must extend to all stations based on the information read about the preparation that has taken place. This can be done by coupling a reading device to the control means for the commissioning of each of the stations, by an information connection between these control devices or by reading devices available at each station.
  • the second preparatory device is also provided with monitoring means for monitoring the preparatory success in this preparatory device, care must be taken to ensure that in the case of textile bobbins that are completely prepared from the first preparatory device, this monitoring device receives a signal which sets it in the state which she achieves with a positive result of her own review. This avoids classifying these textile bobbins as unprepared and preventing them from being fed to the winder.
  • Textile bobbins in the form of cops are transported in a winder 1.
  • the winder 1 has a bobbin and tube transport system with several transport loops, some of which have common transport paths.
  • Caddies 4 which carry the cops or sleeves, are transported on these transport routes. The depiction of the cops or sleeves has been omitted for reasons of clarity.
  • a feed path 2 for feeding the cops to the winding units extends along the entire winding machine.
  • Preparation lines 25 branch off from the feed path 2 and lead through second preparation devices formed from preparation stations 26 to 28. These preparation stations 25 to 28 allow the cops to be prepared step by step in a known manner, as is described, for example, in DE 39 19 542 A1.
  • a distribution section 24 is provided which alternatively feeds the cops to a so-called reversing belt 3 or again to the feed path 2.
  • This distribution section 24 is controlled by the last preparation station 28, which has monitoring means for monitoring the Has preparatory success. If the cop is successfully prepared, the distribution section 24, which here also consists of a reversing belt, feeds it to the reversing belt 3 already mentioned.
  • the caddy 4 carrying it is fed to the feed path 2, which either guides it to the next preparation path 25 or around the end of the winding machine 1 via the diversion path 31 to a return belt 22.
  • This return belt 22 runs parallel to the feed belt 2, likewise along the entire winding machine 1. The distribution of the cops on the different preparation lines 25 is described further below.
  • the reversing belt 3 is switched in its transport direction at predeterminable time intervals and distributes the supplied cops to the transport paths 21 leading through the winding stations 5. Between the respective winding station 5, that is to say the unwinding position of the respective cop, and the reversing belt 3 there are still two reserve positions 6 for the caddies 4 wearing the heads. On the reversing belt 3, groups 7 of caddies 4 patrol with cops, which then enter a transport path 21 leading through the winding stations 5 when the rearmost reserve position 6 is not occupied. Details can also be found in DE 39 19 542 A1. It should also be pointed out that only a small part of the rotating caddies 4 has been shown for reasons of clarity. In particular, the transport tracks 21 should in most cases be occupied by three caddies 4, as is demonstrated on a transport track 21.
  • the transport tracks at the downstream end of the return belt with associated processing stations are to be described in more detail below.
  • This residual cop 9 is a so-called residual cop, which still carries a quantity of remaining thread that can be processed.
  • This residual cop 9 is located next to a residual thread detector 33, which detects the thread quantity still present.
  • This residual thread detector controls an electromagnet 11, which acts on an iron ring present on the caddies 4 and deflects the caddy from the return belt 22 onto a secondary transport path 12.
  • the remaining cop arrives at a first preparation device, a cone preparation device 14, which searches for the thread start on the cop cone regardless of its position and deposits it again in such a way that it can later be detected at the winding point.
  • This cone preparation device 14 accordingly carries out a complete preparation of the cop.
  • a cop prepared in this way is then fed back to the feed path 2 via a connecting section 16.
  • the cone preparation device 14 also has monitoring means for monitoring the preparation success, a thread sensor 15. If the remaining cop 9 could not be prepared successfully, it reaches a storage section 18 via a feed path 17.
  • the structure of such a cone preparation device can be found, for example, in DE 40 25 003 A1 will.
  • a successful preparation, recognized by the thread sensor 15, is transmitted to a writing device 37, which confirms the successful preparation by writing it into a memory chip attached to the caddy 4.
  • the arrangement of a memory chip on the caddy including the means for wireless data exchange can be found, for example, in DE 40 41 713 A1, while the practical implementation of the data exchange is described, for example, in DE 40 38 970 A1.
  • a sleeve with a small amount of remaining thread transported alongside an end frame 19 is also identified as such by the remaining thread detector 33 and the caddy 4 carrying it is redirected by the electromagnet 11 into the secondary transport path 12.
  • this sleeve 8 is immediately branched off again and arrives at a sleeve cleaning device 10.
  • An electromagnet can also be arranged at this branch, which is additionally controlled by the residual thread detector 33. A representation has been omitted for reasons of space.
  • the cleaned sleeve 8 then returns to the return path 22 via the intersection 20 or, after unsuccessful cleaning, into the storage path 18 (see also DE 39 19 542 A1).
  • a completely empty spool 36 ejected from a winding unit 5 is also fed to the residual thread detector 33 on the return path 22, which does not switch on the electromagnet 11 in this case, so that the caddy 4 carrying the empty tube 36 arrives on the transport path 13, on which the empty tube is exchanged for a fresh cop coming from the spinning machine.
  • This cop then returns to the feed path 2 and, in the manner described, to its unwinding position in the winding machine.
  • Switch 30 are arranged on the respective branches from the feed path 2 into the preparation sections 25. These switches 30 are intended to distribute the cops over the preparation lines. If, for example, as shown in the drawing, there are two preparation sections 25, the switch 30 arranged on the first branch in the feed direction of the cops would alternately allow every second cop to pass, which is then on the feed path 2 to the next preparation section 25 (direction arrow 23 ) transported on becomes. It is of course also possible to switch over after two or more cops.
  • the reading device 38 If a cop whose caddy 4 carries information of successful preparation in the first preparation device, the cone preparation 14, written in its memory chip, reaches the downstream first preparation section 25, this information is read by the reading device 38.
  • This reading device 38 transmits this information to control means 26 ′ arranged at the preparation station 26.
  • these control means which control the commissioning of this station 26, in particular a stop and drive device, as is shown and described in DE 39 25 861 A1, prevent commissioning. This allows the caddy 4 to pass freely through the preparation station 26.
  • control means 27 'and 28' also present in the subsequent preparation stations 27 and 28 are controlled in this case by the control means arranged upstream in each case in such a way that they allow the already prepared cop to pass through in the same way.
  • the control means 28 also transmits to the monitoring device, a thread sensor 32 arranged in the preparation station 28, the information of the preparation that has already taken place. This thread sensor 32 then, just as when successful preparation is recognized in the preparation station 28, controls the distribution section 24 such that the cop is fed to the reversing section 3.
  • a read device 39 is arranged on the downstream preparation section 25, which controls the control means 26 ′′, 27 ′′ and 28 ′′ directly, but with a staggered time delay.
  • the preparation station 28 Existing monitoring device in the form of a thread sensor 32 'controlled analogously to the thread sensor 32.
