Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Erfassung der Masse von Fasermaterial in einer Spinnmaschine.The invention relates to a method and a device for detecting the mass of fiber material in a spinning machine.

Bekannte Rotor-Spinnmaschinen beispielsweise, weisen am Eingang zur Spinnstelle oder Spinnbox nur eine sogenannte Speisemulde auf, die einlaufendes Fasermaterial, das in Form eines Bandes zugeführt wird, gegen eine Einzugswalze presst, so dass das Fasermaterial von der Einlaufwalze über die Speisemulde eingezogen wird. Die Speisemulde kann als eine Art Hebel oder Klappe aufgefasst werden, die drehbar gelagert ist und sich in der Nähe der Einzugswalze etwa tangential zu dieser erstreckt. Nach der Speisewalze wird das Fasermaterial von einer Auflösewalze übernommen, wobei die Fasern vereinzelt werden.Known rotor spinning machines, for example, have only a so-called feed trough at the entrance to the spinning station or spinning box, which presses incoming fiber material, which is fed in the form of a belt, against a feed roller, so that the fiber material is drawn in from the feed roller via the feed trough. The feed trough can be understood as a type of lever or flap which is rotatably mounted and extends in the vicinity of the feed roller approximately tangentially to it. After the feed roller, the fiber material is taken over by a dissolving roller, the fibers being separated.

Soll die Dicke oder die Masse des Fasermaterials in der Umgebung oder im Bereiche der Spinnstelle gemessen werden, so müssen beispielsweise bekannte Messeinrichtungen wie Messtrichter usw. der Spinnstelle vor- oder nachgeschaltet werden. Dies aber kann nur dann vorgesehen werden, wenn längs dem zugeführten Fasermaterial Raum für eine Messeinrichtung vorhanden ist. Ist Raum vorhanden, so kann man eine Messeinrichtung zwar vorsehen, diese erzeugt aber Widerstand im Fasermaterial, der überwunden werden muss, und der möglicherweise das Fasermaterial in unerwarteter Weise beeinflusst.If the thickness or the mass of the fiber material is to be measured in the vicinity or in the area of the spinning station, then known measuring devices such as measuring funnels etc. have to be connected upstream or downstream of the spinning station. However, this can only be provided if there is space for a measuring device along the supplied fiber material. If space is available, a measuring device can be provided, but this creates resistance in the fiber material which has to be overcome and which may influence the fiber material in an unexpected way.

Es ist deshalb eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, wie sie in den Patentansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die die obengenannten Nachteile vermeidet und die das Messen der Masse von Fasermaterial ermöglicht.It is therefore an object of the invention, as characterized in the claims, to provide a method and a device which avoids the above-mentioned disadvantages and which enables the mass of fiber material to be measured.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht darin, die Masse des Fasermaterials im Bereiche einer Einzugswalze einer Spinnstelle einer Rotorspinnmaschine zu erfassen. Eine dazu geeignete Vorrichtung weist auf der Speisemulde ein Messorgan auf, das zur Ausgabe eines Signales ausgebildet ist, das der Masse des Fasermaterials auf der Speisemulde entspricht. Dieses Messorgan kann einerseits so ausgebildet sein, dass es Bewegungen oder Stellungen der Speisemulde selbst erfasst, die durch die Variationen der Masse oder Dicke des Faserbandes bedingt sind und die in ein Messsignal umgewandelt werden. Andererseits kann in die Speisemulde ein Messorgan integriert sein, das ein Messsignal liefert. Solche Messorgane können die Oberfläche des Fasermaterials abtasten und den Unebenheiten folgen, und Auslenkungen bewirken, die in eine Angabe über einen Weg oder einen Druck gewandelt werden. Demnach weisen diese Messorgane Tastelemente auf, die mit einem Druckmesser oder einem Wegmesser verbunden sind. Als Wegmesser sind insbesondere Dehnmessstreifen, optisch oder kapazitiv arbeitende Wegaufnehmer oder pneumatisch oder piezoelektrisch arbeitende Druckaufnehmer vorgesehen.The solution to this problem is to measure the mass of the fiber material in the area of a feed roller of a spinning station of a rotor spinning machine. A suitable device has a measuring element on the feed trough which is designed to output a signal which corresponds to the mass of the fiber material on the feed trough. On the one hand, this measuring element can be designed in such a way that it detects movements or positions of the feed trough itself which are caused by the variations in the mass or thickness of the fiber sliver and which are converted into a measurement signal. On the other hand, a measuring element can be integrated into the feed trough, which delivers a measuring signal. Such measuring elements can scan the surface of the fiber material and follow the unevenness, and can cause deflections which are converted into an indication of a path or a pressure. Accordingly, these measuring elements have touch elements which are connected to a pressure meter or a displacement meter. Strain gauges, optical or capacitive displacement transducers or pneumatic or piezoelectric pressure transducers are provided as displacement meters.

Die dabei erreichten Vorteile sind beispielsweise darin zu sehen, dass einerseits das Fasermaterial weniger Elemente durchlaufen muss, von denen jedes einen ungünstigen Einfluss darauf haben kann, und dass andererseits auch die Spinnmaschine ein Element weniger aufweisen muss, so dass die Spinnstelle und ihre Umgebung zugänglicher bleibt. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist darin zu sehen, dass die erzeugten Messsignale sich besonders gut zur Regelung der Spinnstelle in dem Sinne eignen, dass diese direkt so geregelt werden kann, dass Masseschwankungen im Fasermaterial in der Spinnstelle selbst durch die geeignete Regelung vermieden werden. Es wird damit auch die Möglichkeit geschaffen, vor der Verarbeitung zu Garn die Qualität des Fasermaterials zu prüfen.The advantages achieved here can be seen, for example, in the fact that, on the one hand, the fiber material has to pass through fewer elements, each of which can have an unfavorable influence on it, and, on the other hand, the spinning machine as well Element must have less, so that the spinning station and its surroundings remain more accessible. Another advantage can be seen in the fact that the measurement signals generated are particularly well suited for controlling the spinning station in the sense that it can be controlled directly in such a way that mass fluctuations in the fiber material in the spinning station itself are avoided by the appropriate regulation. This also creates the possibility of checking the quality of the fiber material before processing into yarn.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Beispielen und mit Bezug auf die beiliegenden Figuren näher erläutert. Es zeigen

  • Fig. 1 bis 8 je eine besondere Ausführung der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung und
  • Fig. 9 eine Darstellung des Verlaufes von Messwerten und abgeleiteten Signalen.
The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of examples and with reference to the accompanying figures. Show it
  • 1 to 8 each a special embodiment of the device according to the invention and
  • 9 shows the course of measured values and derived signals.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Vorrichtung mit einer Speisemulde 1, die hier um eine Achse 2 in einem beschränkten Bereiche drehbar gelagert ist und die eine Führungsfläche 3 für Fasermaterial 5 aufweist, die ungefähr tangential zum Umfang einer Einzugswalze 4 angeordnet ist, solange sich die Speisemulde in einer Arbeitsstellung befindet. Der Einzugswalze 4 nachgeschaltet ist eine Auflösewalze 6. Zusätzlich sind stromaufwärts Führungen 7 für das Fasermaterial vorgesehen, die dieses auf die Speisemulde 1 leiten. An der Speisemulde 1 ist weiter als Messorgan ein Winkelgeber 8 angeordnet, der einen Winkel 9 ermittelt, der proportional zur Dicke oder Masse des Fasermaterials 5 zwischen der Führungsfläche 3 und der Einzugswalze 4 ist. Der Winkelgeber 8 ist über eine Leitung 10 mit einer Auswerteeinheit 11 verbunden. Diese hat die Aufgabe, das Messorgan mit Energie zu versorgen, die Signale aus dem Messorgan zu erfassen und zu verstärken, sowie die Möglichkeit zur Eichung, zu einem Nullpunktabgleich, zur Normierung der Signale und/oder zur Kompensation von Störeinflüssen zu bieten. In gleichem Sinne wäre statt einer schwenkbaren Speisemulde 1 eine verschiebbare Speisemulde denkbar. Statt eines Winkels wäre dann ein Weg zu messen.Figure 1 shows a device with a feed trough 1, which is rotatably mounted here about an axis 2 in a limited area and which has a guide surface 3 for fiber material 5, which is arranged approximately tangentially to the circumference of a feed roller 4, as long as the feed trough is in a Working position. A feed roller 6 is connected downstream of the feed roller 4. In addition, guides 7 are provided upstream for the fiber material, which guide this onto the feed trough 1. An angle sensor 8 is also arranged on the feed trough 1 as a measuring element and determines an angle 9 which is proportional to the thickness or mass of the fiber material 5 between the guide surface 3 and the feed roller 4 is. The angle encoder 8 is connected to an evaluation unit 11 via a line 10. This has the task of supplying the measuring element with energy, recording and amplifying the signals from the measuring element, and the possibility of calibration, zero-point adjustment, standardization of the signals and / or compensation of interference. In the same sense, a slidable feed tray would be conceivable instead of a pivotable feed tray 1. A path would then have to be measured instead of an angle.

Figur 2 zeigt eine weitere Ausführung, bei der in der Speisemulde 1 ein Messorgan 12 unterhalb der Führungsfläche 3 eingebaut ist. Das Messorgan 12 weist ein Tastorgan 13 und eine Auswerteschaltung 14 auf. Dabei ist das Tastorgan 13 als federnder Messbalken mit daran angebrachten Dehnmessstreifen in einer Brückenschaltung ausgebildet. Die Auswerteschaltung ist an die Brückenschaltung angeschlossen und weist beispielsweise einen Verstärker auf. Auch hier kann das Ausgangssignal über eine Leitung 15 an eine Auswerteeinheit ausgegeben werden.FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment in which a measuring element 12 is installed in the feed trough 1 below the guide surface 3. The measuring element 12 has a probe element 13 and an evaluation circuit 14. The feeler 13 is designed as a resilient measuring bar with strain gauges attached to it in a bridge circuit. The evaluation circuit is connected to the bridge circuit and has, for example, an amplifier. Here, too, the output signal can be output to an evaluation unit via a line 15.

Figur 3 zeigt eine Aufsicht der Speisemulde 1 aus der man insbesondere einen Ablaufkanal 16 für das Fasermaterial erkennt, der seitlich durch vorstehende Begrenzungen 17 begrenzt ist. Die Führungsfläche 3 der Speisemulde 1 weist ein Fenster 18 auf, aus dem ein Tastorgan 13 herausragen kann.FIG. 3 shows a top view of the feed trough 1, from which one can see in particular an outlet channel 16 for the fiber material, which is laterally delimited by the above-mentioned limits 17. The guide surface 3 of the feed trough 1 has a window 18 from which a sensing element 13 can protrude.

Figur 4 zeigt eine Ausführung bei der das Tastorgan 13 mit einem Hebelsystem 19 verbunden ist, das wiederum mit einem Wegaufnehmer 20 zusammenwirkt. Dabei ist das Tastorgan 13 durch eine hier nicht gezeigte Feder belastet, die es gegen das Fasermaterial 5 drückt.Figure 4 shows an embodiment in which the feeler 13 is connected to a lever system 19, which in turn cooperates with a displacement sensor 20. The feeler 13 is here by one loaded spring, not shown, which presses it against the fiber material 5.

Figur 5 zeigt eine Ausführung mit vorversetztem Tastorgan 21 das einer zusätzlichen Führung 22 gegenüberliegt, die ebenfalls auf der Speisemulde 1 angeordnet ist. Das Tastorgan 21 wirkt auf eine Feder 23, die mit Dehnmessstreifen versehen ist. Diese sind wiederum in einer Brückenschaltung angeordnet. Eine Auswerteschaltung 24 mit einem Verstärker ist ebenfalls vorgesehen.FIG. 5 shows an embodiment with a staggered feeler element 21 which lies opposite an additional guide 22 which is also arranged on the feed trough 1. The sensing element 21 acts on a spring 23 which is provided with strain gauges. These are in turn arranged in a bridge circuit. An evaluation circuit 24 with an amplifier is also provided.

Figur 6 zeigt eine vergleichbare Anordnung des Tastorgans 21 wie in Fig. 5, wobei dieses jedoch mit einem Hebelsystem 25 zusammenarbeitet, das die Auslenkungen des Tastorgans 21 verstärken oder vermindern kann, je nach dem wie es ausgelegt ist. Auch hier ist ein Wegaufnehmer 26 zur Erfassung der Auslenkungen des Hebelsystems 25 vorgesehen.Figure 6 shows a comparable arrangement of the feeler 21 as in Fig. 5, but this works together with a lever system 25 which can increase or decrease the deflections of the feeler 21, depending on how it is designed. Here too, a displacement sensor 26 is provided for detecting the deflections of the lever system 25.

Figur 7 zeigt ein System das gemäss einem passiv pneumatischen Messprinzip arbeitet. Es weist deshalb in der Führung 22 als Messorgan eine Öffnung 27 zum Fasermaterial hin auf, die über eine Leitung 28 mit einem Druckwandler 29 verbunden ist. Die Leitung 28 ist ferner über eine Vordüse 30 an eine Speiseleitung 31 angeschlossen. Der Druckwandler 29 kann so an eine Vorkammer angeschlossen sein wie dies bereits aus der Patentanmeldung CH 1828/95 bekannt ist. Dabei ist der Druck in der Speiseleitung 31 vorzugsweise für alle daran angeschlossenen Speisemulden gleich.Figure 7 shows a system that works according to a passive pneumatic measuring principle. It therefore has an opening 27 to the fiber material in the guide 22 as a measuring element, which opening is connected to a pressure transducer 29 via a line 28. The line 28 is also connected via a pre-nozzle 30 to a feed line 31. The pressure transducer 29 can be connected to a prechamber as is already known from the patent application CH 1828/95. The pressure in the feed line 31 is preferably the same for all feed troughs connected to it.

Figur 8 zeigt ein System mit einem kapazitiv arbeitenden Messorgan 42, das auf der Führung 7 unmittelbar vor der Einzugswalze 4 angeordnet ist. Die Kapazität des Messorgans ist in eine Brückenschaltung eingebaut, die wiederum an eine Auswerteeinheit 41 nun bekannter Art angeschlossen ist.FIG. 8 shows a system with a capacitive measuring element 42, which is on the guide 7 immediately in front of the feed roller 4 is arranged. The capacitance of the measuring element is built into a bridge circuit, which in turn is connected to an evaluation unit 41 of a known type.

Die Wirkungsweise der verschiedenen Systeme ist wie folgt: Bei der Ausführung gemäss Fig. 1 gibt die Postition der Speisemulde 1, die durch den Winkel 9 ausgedrückt ist, ein Mass für die Dicke oder Masse des Fasermaterials 5 ab. In diesem Falle muss die Speisemulde 1 federbelastet und leicht bewegbar gelagert sein. Ein Signal, das den Winkel 9 ausdrückt, wird über die Leitung 10 an die Auswerteeinheit 11 abgegeben, die das Signal so anzeigt, oder es so aufbereitet, dass es für eine Regelung oder eine Überwachung verwendet werden kann, die den Winkel 9 berücksichtigt.The operation of the various systems is as follows: In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the position of the feed trough 1, which is expressed by the angle 9, gives a measure of the thickness or mass of the fiber material 5. In this case, the feed trough 1 must be spring-loaded and easily movable. A signal that expresses the angle 9 is output via line 10 to the evaluation unit 11, which displays the signal in such a way or processes it in such a way that it can be used for regulation or monitoring that takes the angle 9 into account.

Bei der Ausführung gemäss Fig. 2 kann ein optimaler Arbeitspunkt für das Messsystem durch Einstellen des Abstandes der Speisemulde 1 von der Einzugswalze 4 gesucht und später die Speisemulde 1 in dieser Stellung fixiert werden. So bewegt das Fasermaterial nur noch das Tastorgan 13, das einen Messbalken mehr oder weniger durchbiegt. Die Durchbiegung wird durch die Dehnungsmesstreifen in an sich bekannter Weise erfasst.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, an optimal working point for the measuring system can be sought by adjusting the distance of the feed trough 1 from the feed roller 4 and later the feed trough 1 can be fixed in this position. Thus, the fiber material only moves the sensing element 13, which more or less deflects a measuring bar. The deflection is recorded by the strain gauges in a manner known per se.

Bei der Ausführung gemäss Fig. 4 bewegt sich ebenfalls nur das Tastorgan 13 und dieses bewegt wiederum einen Hebel 40, dessen Auslenkung erfasst wird.In the embodiment according to FIG. 4, only the feeler 13 also moves and this in turn moves a lever 40, the deflection of which is detected.

Vergleichbare Vorgänge laufen bei den Ausführungen gemäss den Figuren 5 und 6 ab, mit dem Unterschied, dass hier nicht mehr die Stellung der Speisemulde 1 zur Einzugswalze 4, sondern die Stellung der Führung 22 und deren Abstand von der Führungsfläche 1 eingestellt werden muss, um den optimalen Arbeitspunkt zu erreichen. Dazu sind hier nicht dargestellte aber an sich bekannte Mittel vorgesehen.Comparable processes take place in the embodiments according to FIGS. 5 and 6, with the difference that no more here the position of the feed trough 1 to the feed roller 4, but the position of the guide 22 and its distance from the guide surface 1 must be adjusted in order to achieve the optimum working point. For this purpose, means which are not shown but are known per se are provided.

Auch bei der Ausführung gemäss Fig. 7 muss die Stellung der Führung 22 eingestellt werden. Hier spielt aber auch der Druck in der Leitung 31 und die Grösse der Düse 30 ein Rolle um eine optimale Arbeitsweise zu erhalten.The position of the guide 22 must also be set in the embodiment according to FIG. 7. Here, however, the pressure in the line 31 and the size of the nozzle 30 also play a role in order to obtain optimal functioning.

Bei der Ausführung gemäss Fig. 8 kann die Speisemulde 1 feststehend angeordnet sein. Die Masse des als Faserband zugeführten Fasermaterials 5 wird möglichst nahe an der Einzugswalze 4 so in bekannter Weise gemessen.8, the feed trough 1 can be arranged in a fixed manner. The mass of the fiber material 5 fed as a sliver is measured as close as possible to the feed roller 4 in a known manner.

Die in den Figuren 1 bis 8 gezeigten Systeme weisen verschiedene Charakteristiken auf, wie dies aus der Figur 9 ersichtlich ist. In Fig. 9 sind auf der Achse 32 Werte für die Masse des Fasermaterials, auf der Achse 33 Werte eines elektrischen Signales beispielsweise in Volt oder Ampère, einer Frequenz oder eines digitalen Signales und auf der vertikalen Achse 34 Werte aufgetragen, die einer physikalischen Grösse entsprechen, wie z.B. Werte die einem Winkel, einem Druck, einer Kraft oder einem Weg entsprechen. Wie eine Gerade 35 zeigt, kann zwischen den letztgenannten Werten und den Werten elektrischer Signale davon ausgegangen werden, dass ein linearer Zusammenhang besteht. Dagegen kommt es auf das Messprinzip an ob zwischen den Werten, die einer Auslenkung entsprechen und den Werten die einer Masse entsprechen, ein linearer Zusammenhang besteht. Linien 36 und 37 zeigen den Zusammenhang bei einem Syszem gemäss Fig. 1 und Systemen gemäss den Figuren 4, 6 und 8 auf. Eine Kurve 38 zeigt den Zusammenhang bei Systemen gemäss Fig. 2 und 5 auf, während Linie 39 den Zusammenhang bei pneumatisch arbeitenden Systemen gemäss der Fig. 7 aufzeigt. Aus diesen Kennlinien 36 - 39 kann ein Arbeitsbereich ausgewählt werden, in dem die Variationen der Masse etwa liegen sollen, indem man die Speisemulde 1 dementsprechend zur Einzugswalze 4 oder die Führung 22 zur Führungsfläche 1 einstellt.The systems shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 have different characteristics, as can be seen from FIG. 9. In FIG. 9, values for the mass of the fiber material are plotted on the axis 32, values of an electrical signal, for example in volts or amperes, a frequency or a digital signal, are plotted on the axis 33, and values corresponding to a physical quantity are plotted on the vertical axis 34 , such as values that correspond to an angle, a pressure, a force or a path. As a straight line 35 shows, it can be assumed between the latter values and the values of electrical signals that there is a linear relationship. In contrast, it depends on the measuring principle whether between the values that correspond to a deflection and the values that correspond to a mass, there is a linear relationship. Lines 36 and 37 show the relationship in a system according to FIG. 1 and systems according to FIGS. 4, 6 and 8. A curve 38 shows the relationship in systems according to FIGS. 2 and 5, while line 39 shows the relationship in pneumatic systems according to FIG. 7. A working range can be selected from these characteristic curves 36-39, in which the variations in mass should lie approximately by adjusting the feed trough 1 to the feed roller 4 or the guide 22 to the guide surface 1.
