Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a draft device, and a spinning machine provided with the draft device.
  • the draft device includes a plurality of roller pairs such as a back roller pair, a middle roller pair, and a front roller pair, which are arranged in this order from upstream towards downstream in a drafting direction of the fiber bundle.
  • Each of the roller pairs includes a bottom roller, which is a driving roller, and a top roller, which makes contact with the bottom roller and rotates accompanying rotation of the bottom roller.
  • Each of the top rollers is integrally held by a draft cradle (hereinafter simply referred to as a cradle).
  • Each of the bottom rollers is integrally held by a device frame.
  • An apron belt is wound around the middle bottom roller and the middle top roller, respectively.
  • Tension and position of the apron belt (a position in a direction parallel to a drafting direction, and a position in a direction orthogonal to the drafting direction) are regulated by a tensor bar.
  • a mounting state of the tensor bar influences the tension and the position of the apron belt.
  • Patent Document 1 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-81865 (Patent Document 1)).
  • the tensor bar has a length extending over two adjacent spinning units, and a central portion of the tensor bar is supported by the bracket.
  • Apron belts for the two adjacent spinning units are wound around both ends of the tensor bar.
  • the tensor bar has the central part supported but the both ends are free ends, and a length of the tensor bar is long.
  • the bracket supporting the tensor bar may bend or the tensor bar itself may bend. If there is a difference in the tension of the apron belts of the two adjacent spinning units, the apron belts may be positioned at different positions in the respective spinning unit. Therefore, with the structure of Patent Document 1, it is difficult to ensure positioning accuracy of the tensor bar with respect to the middle bottom roller.
  • Patent Document 2 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-158942
  • Patent Document 2 a projection is formed at both ends of the tensor bar.
  • the projection formed at both ends of the tensor bar is fitted into a concave provided between the middle bottom roller and the middle top roller to position and fix the tensor bar.
  • the concave provided between the middle bottom roller and the middle top roller requires a size enabling the projection at both ends of the tensor bar to be fitted thereto. Therefore, a supporting member forming the concave inevitably becomes larger than the projection. That is, in the structure of Patent Document 2, a space for arranging the supporting member larger than the projection is necessary between the middle bottom roller and the middle top roller.
