Description
- The present invention relates to a yarn tension sensor for yam-feeding devices.
- As known, in the textile processes yam-feeding devices are used which draw the yarn from a reel and feed it to a textile machine in a controlled way.
- In particular, so-called "negative" yarn feeders are known, which generally comprise a stationary drum on which a motorized swivel arm winds a plurality of yarn loops forming a weft reserve. Upon request from the textile machine, the loops are unwound from the drum and are fed to the textile machine via a braking device which is controlled on the basis of a signal received from a tension sensor arranged downstream of the feeder, in such a way as to maintain the yarn tension substantially constant at a desired level. An example of this type of control on a negative yarn feeder is disclosed in
EP-A-707 102 - So-called "positive" yarn feeders are also known, which generally comprise a rotating weft-winding drum which draws the yarn from a reel and feed it to the textile machine. In this case, it is also known, e.g. from
US 4,752,044 andUS 4,953,367 , to control the tension of the yarn delivered by the feeder in such a way as to maintain it substantially constant at a desired level, by varying the speed of rotation of the drum on the basis of a signal received from a tension sensor . -
WO 99/59909 - The plate is fastened to a support anchorable to the feeder, and to this purpose it is clamped between the support and a bracket by a pair of screws. Such fastening method has the advantage that it does not require to change the shape of the plate, which is cut by laser into a standard profile that is accurately defined in order to optimize the response accuracy of the sensor, as well known to the person skilled in the art. However, it also has drawbacks, because the variations in the ambient temperature, as well as the heating due to the operation of the feeder, cause the bracket to bend in a very different way with respect to the plate. The bending of the bracket generates tensions on the flexible projection, which consequently changes its liability to bend, thereby affecting the signal generated by the sensor.
- In the attempt of overcoming the above drawback, it was proposed to glue the plate to the support. However, this fastening system is not feasible, because the glue would continuously be exposed to the oils used in the textile process and therefore it would become less effective and less stable in a short time. Moreover, the glue would also be subjected to uncontrolled thermal distortions, so that this system would not overcome the problem of the low accuracy.
- Therefore, it is a main object of the present invention to improve the accuracy of the yarn tension sensors of the above-mentioned type, by providing a system for fastening the plate to the support which does not require any change to the shape of the plate, and which is substantially unaffected by the variations in temperature in the working environment, so that the operation of the flexible projection is not affected and the signal emitted by the sensor is not distorted.
- The above object and other advantages, which will better appear from the following description, are achieved by the yarn tension sensor having the features recited in claim 1, while the dependent claims state other advantageous, though secondary features of the invention.
- The invention will be now described in more detail, with reference to a few preferred, non exclusive embodiments, shown by way of non limiting example in the attached drawings, wherein:
-
Fig. 1 is a view in side elevation of a negative yarn feeder on which a general yarn tension sensor is mounted; -

Fig. 9 is a diagram showing the error of measurement over the temperature in relation to the plate alone, the plate supported according to the prior art, and the plate supported according to the alternative embodiment of the invention ofFig. 8 . - With initial reference to
Fig. 1 , a general,negative yarn feeder 10 is shown, which comprises astationary drum 12 on which a flywheel 14 driven by a motor 14 winds a plurality of loops of yarn F forming a weft reserve. Upon request from the textile machine (not shown), the loops are unwound from thedrum 12 and are fed to the textile machine. The yarn delivered byfeeder 10 is clamped between the delivery edge ofdrum 12 and a hollow,frustoconical braking member 20 controlled by position on the basis of a signal received by a generl yarn tension sensor TS, in such a way as to maintain the yarn tension substantially constant at a desired level. Sensor TS is mounted on astationary arm 22 and contacts the yarn delivered by the feeder in such a way as to slightly deviate its path, whereby it is subjected to the transverse component of the yarn tension. - Having now reference to
Fig. 2 , a generalpositive yarn feeder 24 is shown, which comprises a rotating weft-windingdrum 26 which draws yarn F' from a reel R (only diagrammatically shown) and feed it to the textile machine (not shown). The tension of the yarn delivered by the feeder is controlled to be substantially constant at a desired level, by varying the speed of rotation ofdrum 26 on the basis of a signal received from a general tension sensor TS' attached to the feeder and subjected to the yarn tension in a way similar to the previous embodiment. - Having now particular reference to
Figs. 3-6 , atension sensor 28 according to the invention is shown, which is suitable for applications with both negative yarn feeders and positive yarn feeders. -
Tension sensor 28 comprises a support orbasement 30 having alower face 32 and an oppositeupper face 34 provided with adepression 36 terminating at a longitudinal end of the basement, on which afeeler 38, which will be better described below, is fixed. A printedcircuit 40 is attached tolower face 32 by ascrew 42 and a nut (not shown) received in ahexagonal seat 44 formed indepression 36.Basement 30 also has atransverse hole 45 in order to be fixed to the feeder by a screw, as shown inFigs. 1, 2 . -
Feeler 38 comprises aplate 46 made of a ceramic material and provided with amounting portion 48 having an elongatedflexible projection 50 extending therefrom, which is provided with asliding block 51 of a semi-cylindrical shape at its free end, on which the yarn is slidable.Flexible projection 50 provides a feeler arm that, in use, deviates the path of the yarn with itssliding block 51, whereby the arm is subjected to the transverse component of the yarn tension. - In a way known per se, in the area where
mounting portion 48 is connected toelongated projection 50, four main resistors R1, R2, R3, R4 are disposed with the so-called "thick film" technology, two of which, R1 and R3, are arranged on the upper surface ofplate 46. The other two resistors R2, R4 are arranged on the opposite surface (Fig. 5 ). The main resistors are connected to one another to form a Wheatstone bridge (Fig. 6 ). Further four resistors are disposed on mountingportion 48, two of which, RP1 and RP2, are connected in parallel to two main resistors arranged adjacent to each other, R1 and R4 respectively, and are required for the "zero setting" of the bridge. The other two resistors, RS1, RS2, are connected in series to the other two main resistors, R2 and R3 respectively, for the compensation in temperature ofplate 46. The four ends of the Wheatstone bridge lead torespective contact pins 52, which are welded to the edge of mountingportion 48 facing away fromelongated projection 50, and extend at right angles towards printedcircuit 40, where they engagerespective rheophores 54. Contactpins 52 are received in arecess 55 formed in the corresponding end ofbasement 30. In a conventional way, the bridge generates an output signal that changes as a function of the bending of the projection and, consequently, of the yarn tension. - As shown in detail in
Fig. 5 , in order toanchor plate 46 tobasement 30, arectangular base 56 of a ceramic material is connected to the lower surface ofmounting portion 48 by vitrification. Rectangular base is received indepression 36 and is fastened to the latter by a pair ofscrews nuts Screws respective holes base 56 at the opposite sides ofplate 46, and inrespective passages flat depression 36. - In
Fig. 7 , the error of measurement over the temperature, with respect to the plate per se is shown by continuous line, to the plate anchored according to the prior art by dotted lines, and to the plate anchored according to the invention by chain lines. It is evident that the error of measurement D (in grams) over the temperature T (in °C), with a tension sensor according to the invention, is about one tenth of the error with a prior art sensor. This is due to the fact thatbase 56 does not influences the deformation ofelongated projection 50 because it is bonded by vitrification under mountingportion 48, in order to connectplate 46 tobasement 30. Therefore, the elongated projection has a characteristic of bending with respect to the temperature that is very similar to the theoretical characteristic, thereby resulting in a more accurate, and more raliable, signal generated by the sensor. - An alternative embodiment of the invention is shown in
Fig. 8 , wherein a piece of both sidesadhesive tape 158 is used in lieu of the pair of screws with nuts for fasteningrectangular base 56 todepression 36. - The diagram of
Fig. 9 is equal to the diagram ofFig. 7 , with the addition of double-chain line X that shows the error of measurement with a sensor according to the above-described, alternative embodiment. As apparent fromFig. 9 , the error is further reduced with a tension sensor according to this second embodiment. - A few preferred embodiments of the invention have been described herein, but of course many changes may be made by a person skilled in the art within the scope of the claims. For instance, other types of anchor means may be used, in lieu of screws or both sides adhesive tapes, for fastening the rectangular base to the support, such as rivets, glue, and the like.
