Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cheese making Textile machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • DE 196 46 564 A1 or DE 196 50 932 A1 describe for example as automatic winding machines trained textile machinery. These so-called Cross-winder machines each have a variety of similar, arranged in a row next to each other Jobs on. Each job in turn has a winding device with a single motor driven Winding drum and a job computer.
  • ring spools are rewound into large-volume packages.
  • the work stations are supplied via a service unit that can be moved along the work stations, that is, if necessary, the service unit at the work station in question automatically exchanges a finished package for an empty tube.
  • Such textile machines have one Central control unit, which has both a machine bus the job computers of the individual jobs as also connected to the control device of the service unit is.
  • the service unit preferably a so-called Cross-wound bobbin changer, has numerous handling devices to transfer the on the winding devices of the jobs finished packages on a machine length Cross-wound bobbin transport device and for subsequent Insert an empty tube into the coil frame.
  • Such packages have, among other things, as in the DE 195 33 833 A1 described in detail, a thread lifter, the at the beginning of the change process in the thread course of the Feed bobbin swung in to the thread running out bobbin becomes.
  • the thread lifter detects that of a winding drum, which is preferably designed as a reversing thread roller, iridescent thread.
  • the captured thread is then through a thread cutting and - arranged on the thread lifter clamping device in a lower and an upper thread cut up.
  • the upper thread is then wound, for example as a top-cone winding, on the tube tip, while the lower thread is positioned between the tube holder of the bobbin frame and a new empty tube that it is clamped when the empty tube is subsequently clamped.
  • the sleeve held in the bobbin frame is driven by the winding drum in a frictional manner and the (lower) thread is guided by the thread lifter in such a way that a so-called foot or reserve winding is initially created on the tube foot.
  • the thread running from a ring spinning cop is changed in the thread guide groove of the winding drum in such a way that a new cross-wound bobbin is produced, which has the type of winding wild winding ".
  • reel drums in different designs are used at the work stations.
  • the winding drums used can be, for example, 1.5-speed, 2-speed, 3-speed or the like.
  • a disadvantage of the known automatic winding machines is, however, that at the start of the change process necessary Thread take up the winding drums always for a fixed one Period are driven. This time span is so dimensioned that even with winding drums with a maximum Free movement is still ensured that the thread is the thread lifter reliably, usually at least twice. That is, the time span and therefore the number of revolutions, which the winding drum performs during thread take-up always the same. The smoothness of the winding drum used remains completely disregarded.
  • the design of a textile machine producing cross-wound bobbins according to the invention has the advantage that the turns of the winding drum during thread take-up are always individually matched to the type of winding drum used in each case, in particular to the smooth running of the winding drum. This ensures, on the one hand, that the thread that has been changed by the winding drum is always presented to the thread lifter in such a way that it can be reliably picked up by the thread lifter, on the other hand, repeated, unnecessary traversing of the thread is avoided.
  • This means that the time required for thread take-up can be reduced by up to 60% by precisely coordinating the number of revolutions of the winding drum to the smooth running of the respective winding drum.
  • the shortening of the cycle time of the package change that can be achieved in this way has an overall positive effect, since the availability of the service unit is increased and the efficiency of the textile machine is increased.
  • the data on the smoothness of the winding drums used are stored in the central control unit of the textile machine. Since the central control unit is connected via a machine bus both to the individual workstation computers and to the control device of the service unit, the winding drum data is always available or can be transferred to the control device concerned at the start of the batch. Additional hardware is not required.
  • the control of the electric motor single drive Winding drum depending on the smooth running of the winding drum can therefore either by the workstation computer relevant winding unit as well as by the control device of the service unit positioned in front of the winding unit respectively.
  • FIG. 1 shows a front view of a textile machine which is generally designated by the reference number 1, in the exemplary embodiment a cross-winder.
  • Such automatic winder machines usually have a large number of similar work stations, in the present case winding stations 2, between their end frames 35, 35.
  • the spinning reels 9 produced on a ring spinning machine (not shown) are rewound to form large-volume cross-wound bobbins 11 on these winding units 2.
  • the finished cross-wound bobbins 11 are rolled out on a cross-wound bobbin transport device 21 by means of an automatically operating service unit, for example by means of a cross-wound bobbin changer 23, and conveyed to a bobbin loading station or the like (not shown) arranged on the machine end.
  • Such automatic winder 1 usually have especially when combined with one or more Ring spinning machines are in the form of a logistics facility a coil and tube transport system 3.
  • Coil and tube transport system 3 run on Transport plates 8, 9 spinning heads and empty tubes 34 um.
  • Such cross winding machines 1 have one Central control unit 37, both via a machine bus 40 with the workstation computers 39 of the individual winding units 2 and with the control device 38 one of the winding units 2 automatically supplying service unit 23 is connected.
  • this is Service unit 23 with trolleys 24, 25 on machine-long Raceways 25, 27 arranged above the winding units 2 are movably supported.
  • the service unit 23 ensures this not only that the finished on the winding units 2 Cross-wound bobbins 11 on the cross-wound bobbin transport device 21 are rolled out, but also changes automatically an empty sleeve 28 in the coil frame 18 of the concerned Winding unit 2.
  • the corresponding empty sleeve 28 takes this Service unit 23 preferably a winding unit own Empty sleeve magazine 22.
  • the spinning bobbins 9 are unwound in the unwinding positions 10, which are located in the region of the transverse transport sections 6, and wound up on the winding device of the relevant work station 2 to form a large-volume cross-wound bobbin 11.
  • the individual winding units 2, as is known and therefore only indicated, have various devices which ensure the proper operation of such work stations 2.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 30 is that of a spinning cop 9 a cheese 11 running thread, with 12 a suction nozzle, with 42 a gripper tube, 13 a splicing device, 14 a Thread tensioning device, with 15 a thread cleaner with Thread cutting device as well as 16 one Paraffinizing device indicated.
  • the coil frame 18 is, as usual, pivotally mounted about an axis 19. Below the bobbin frame 18 there is a pivot plate 20, which can also be rotated to a limited extent about the pivot axis 19, via which the finished cross-wound bobbin 11 can be transferred to the cross-wound bobbin transport device 21 running behind the bobbins 2.
  • the winding units 2 are a service unit, one so-called cross-coil changer 23 supplied. That is, the Cross-coil changer 23 ensures that cross-wound bobbins 11, the have reached a predetermined diameter on the Cross-coil transport device 21 are carried out.
  • the service unit 23 then changes from the Empty sleeve magazine 22 an empty sleeve 28 in the coil frame 18th on.
  • FIGs 2 and 3 are some of the in the course of Exchange process cheese / empty tube needed Handling elements of the service unit 23 shown.
  • the most important handling elements are Frame opener 29, the frame lifter 32, the Coil guide device 33, the sleeve feeder 31 and the Thread lifter 41.
  • a thread catching plate 43 On the thread lifter 41, a thread catching plate 43 is arranged at the end, the thread catching contours of which are open in a funnel-like manner on both sides. Below the thread catcher 43 there is a clamping scissors 44, that is, a thread scissors with an upstream thread clamp.
  • the clamping scissors 44 can be controlled in a defined manner, preferably via a pneumatic cylinder (not shown).
  • a thread guide plate 45 is also arranged in the region of a pivot axis 47 of the thread lifter 41.
  • Figures 4a to 4c show different embodiments of Winding drums, as they are at the winding positions 2 of packages manufacturing textile machines can be used.
  • FIG. 4a shows a so-called 2-course, for example Winding drum 17.
  • the winding drum 17 is over a electromotive single drive 50 is applied.
  • Such Electric drives are known and for example in the DE 43 36 312 A1 described in detail.
  • the winding drum 17 has a thread guide groove 51 on, which is incorporated into the drum body so that the in the thread guide groove 51 guided thread after two Drum revolutions from one drum side to the other Drum side is misplaced.
  • the work station computer 39 of the relevant bobbin winder 2 notifies the control device 38 of the service unit 23 via the machine bus 40, which then relates to the relevant one Job 2 runs and locks in there.
  • the specific winding drum data x, y are transmitted via the machine bus 40 to the work station computer 39 of the winding unit 2 concerned or, depending on the drive concept, to the control device 38 of the service unit 23 by the central control unit 37 of the textile machine 1.
  • the winding drum data x, y it is of course also possible for the winding drum data x, y to be transmitted via the machine bus 40 to the relevant control device 39 or 39 at the beginning of the start of the batch and stored there.
  • the package changer 23 positioned in front of the winding unit 2 first pivots its thread lifter 41 from that indicated in FIG. 2 Rest position "in that shown in Fig. 3 Thread take-up position ".
  • the thread catch plate 43 arranged on the end of the thread lifter 41 is positioned in the traversing area of the thread 30 that can be laterally displaced by the winding drum 17.
  • the individual electric motor drive 50 becomes the Reel drum 17 of the winding unit 2 concerned by the Control device 38 of the service unit 23 or the Job computer 39 of the job in question 2 controlled so that the number of revolutions that the Spool drum 17 executes exactly during the thread take-up matched the movement of the winding drum used in each case is.
  • the thread 30 will thereby, fixed by the thread guide plate 45, in the Clamping scissors 44 threaded.
  • the thread lifter then winds the thread first as a reserve head on the sleeve tip of the package 11 and then separates it into an upper and a lower thread by the clamping scissors 40.
  • the bobbin is then, as usual, discharged onto a machine-long transport device by appropriate handling devices of the service unit.
  • the lower thread remains temporarily fixed in the clamping scissors 44. This means that after the bobbin has been ejected, the lower thread is placed on a newly inserted empty tube and wound up on the tube foot as a foot reserve.
  • the exact process sequence of such a bobbin / empty tube change, in particular using the thread lifter described above, is known per se and is described in relatively detail, for example, in DE 195 33 933 A1.
