Definitions
- the present invention relates to a yarn winding machine.
- Yarn winding machines having plural yarn winding units that, respectively, form a package by winding a yarn are known in the art.
- Such a yarn winding machine includes a yarn joining device that joins a supply-side yarn to a yarn from the package when, for example, the yarn is cut to remove a yarn defect, and the like.
- the yarn joining device can be arranged in common for the plural yarn winding units (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2005-330596 ).
- the yarn joining device has a width that extends over three spinning units (yarn winding units). Therefore, in order to move the yarn joining device to yarn winding units arranged at either ends of the plural yarn winding units arranged along a predetermined direction and perform yarn joining in each of the yarn winding units, it is necessary to secure a space such that the yarn joining device can protrude outside each of the yarn winding units.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a yarn winding machine that can suppress widening of the installation space.
- a yarn winding machine includes at least two yarn winding units arranged adjacent to each other along a predetermined direction and each of which forms a package by winding a yarn; and at least one yarn joining device that is arranged so as to be movable along the predetermined direction and that performs yarn joining in each of the yarn winding units.
- the one yarn joining device performs yarn joining in at least two of the yarn winding units.
- a width of the yarn joining device in the predetermined direction is equal to or less than a width of each of the yarn winding units in the predetermined direction.
- a spinning machine (yarn winding machine) 10 includes plural spinning units (yarn winding units) 1 and a not-shown main control device.
- the spinning units 1 are arranged side-by-side along a predetermined direction D.
- the main control device centrally manages the plural spinning units 1.
- a spinning unit pair including a first spinning unit (a yarn winding unit) 1a and a second spinning unit (a yarn winding unit) 1b arranged adjacent to each other in the predetermined direction D is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 .
- plural pairs of the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b are arranged along the predetermined direction D by using a frame 17.
- the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b are sometimes collectively referred to as the spinning unit 1.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 some of the components of each of the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b have been omitted.
- a spinning device 3 forms a yarn Y by spinning a fiber bundle F supplied from a drafting device 2, and a winding device 4 winds the formed yarn Y to form a package P.
- upstream in the running direction of the yarn Y is simply called an upstream side and downstream in the running direction of the yarn Y is simply called a downstream side.
- the spinning unit 1 includes the drafting device 2, the spinning device 3, a yarn pooling device 5, a yarn monitoring device 6, and the winding device 4 arranged in this order from the upstream side on a running path of the yarn Y.
- Each component of the spinning unit 1 is controlled by a not-shown unit controller arranged in each of the spinning units 1.
- the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b that constitute a pair of yarn winding units share one yarn joining device 90 (See FIGS. 2 and 3 ).
- the yarn joining device 90 is positioned at a joining position (explained later in detail) and performs the yarn joining in each of the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b.
- the drafting device 2 includes total four pairs of draft roller pairs 21, 22, 23, and 24.
- the four pairs of the draft roller pairs 21, 22, 23, and 24 are a back roller pair, a third roller pair, a middle roller pair, and a front roller pair, respectively.
- the draft roller pair 21 includes a top roller 21a as a driven roller and a bottom roller 21b as a driving roller.
- the draft roller pair 22 includes a top roller 22aa as a driven roller and a bottom roller 22b as a driving roller.
- the draft roller pair 23 includes a top roller 23a as a driven roller and a bottom roller 23b as a driving roller.
- the draft roller pair 24 includes a top roller 24a as a driven roller and a bottom roller 24b as a driving roller.
- An apron belt 25 is loaded around each of the top roller 23a and the bottom roller 23b of the draft roller pair 23 that is the middle roller.
- a sliver S supplied from a sliver case is conveyed and stretched while being sandwiched between the four pairs of the draft roller pairs 21, 22, 23, and 24, and the fiber bundle F is formed. As shown in FIGS.
- the top rollers 21a, 22a, 23a, and 24a of the drafting device 2 of the first spinning unit 1a and the top rollers 21a, 22a, 23a, and 24a of the drafting device 2 of the second spinning unit 1b are supported by a draft cradle 26 that is arranged in common for the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b.
- the spinning device 3 forms the yarn Y by spinning with a swirling air current the fiber bundle F that is formed by the drafting device 2.
- the spinning device 3 includes (although not shown specifically) a fiber guiding section, a swirling current generating nozzle, and a hollow guide shaft member.
- the fiber guiding section guides the fiber bundle F supplied by the drafting device 2 to a spinning chamber of the spinning device 3.
- the swirling current generating nozzle is arranged around the path of the fiber bundle F and generates a swirling air current inside the spinning chamber. As a result, in the spinning chamber, the direction of the fiber end is reversed and the fiber end is swirled.
- the hollow guide shaft member guides the spun yarn Y from the spinning chamber to the outside of the spinning device 3.
- the yarn Y formed by the spinning device 3 is nipped between a delivery roller 7 and a nip roller 8 and supplied to the yarn pooling device 5.
- the delivery roller 7 and the nip roller 8 can be omitted and an arrangement can be made where the yarn pooling device 5 pulls the yarn Y from the spinning device 3.
- the yarn pooling device 5 includes a yarn pooling roller 51, a driving motor 52, and a yarn hooking member 53.
- the driving motor 52 rotates the yarn pooling roller 51.
- the yarn hooking member 53 winds the yarn Y on the yarn pooling roller 51.
- the yarn pooling device 5 temporarily pools the yarn Y by winding the yarn Y on the yarn pooling roller 51. In the spinning unit 1, the direction of the running path of the yarn Y is changed greatly between the upstream side and the downstream side of the yarn pooling device 5.
- the yarn Y is caused to run in a substantially horizontal direction from the front toward the yarn pooling device 5, and on the downstream side of the yarn pooling device 5, the yarn Y is caused to run obliquely in the front-upper direction from the yarn pooling device 5.
- the side on which a passage is arranged for the operator of the spinning machine 10 is referred to as the front side
- the side opposite to the front side is referred to as the rear side.
- the side that is up in the height direction of the spinning machine 10 is simply referred to as the upper side and the side that is down in the height direction of the spinning machine 10 is simply referred to as the lower side.
- the yarn hooking member 53 is rotatably supported relative to the yarn pooling roller 51.
- a permanent magnet is attached to one among the yarn pooling roller 51 and the yarn hooking member 53, and a magnetic hysteresis material is attached to the other. Because of those magnetic members, a torque that resists rotation of the yarn hooking member 53 relative to the yarn pooling roller 51 acts on the yarn hooking member 53. Therefore, the yarn hooking member 53 rotates relative to the yarn pooling roller 51 only when a force greater than this torque acts on the yarn hooking member 53 (i.e. , when a tension of a predetermined value or higher is applied on the yarn Y), and the yarn Y that has been wound around the yarn pooling roller 51 is unwound. In contrast, when the force applied to the yarn hooking member 53 does not exceed this torque, the yarn hooking member 53 rotates integrally with the yarn pooling roller 51, and the yarn Y is wound around the yarn pooling roller 51.
- the yarn pooling device 5 in the yarn pooling device 5, the yarn Y is unwound when the tension on the yarn Y downstream of the yarn pooling device 5 increases, and the yarn Y is pooled when the tension on the yarn Y downstream of the yarn pooling device 5 decreases (when the yarn Y is about to slack). Accordingly, the yarn pooling device 5 can eliminate the slack of the yarn Y by applying an appropriate tension on the yarn Y. Furthermore, the yarn pooling device 5 absorbs the variations in the tension of the yarn Y downstream of the yarn pooling device 5 thereby preventing an adverse effect of the variations in the tension on the running of the yarn Y upstream of the yarn pooling device 5.
- a first guide 11 is arranged upstream of and near the yarn pooling device 5.
- the first guide 11 guides the yarn Y to the yarn pooling device 5.
- a pair of guides including a second guide 12 and a third guide 13 is arranged downstream of and near the yarn pooling device 5.
- the second guide 12 and the third guide 13 stabilize the behavior of the yarn Y unwound from the yarn pooling device 5.
- the first guide 11 and the second guide 12 are arranged in a movable manner such that the first guide 11 and the second guide 12 move and draw the yarn Y to the yarn pooling device 5 when the yarn joining and the like are performed.
- the yarn joining device 90 is arranged in common only for a pair of yarn winding units including the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b.
- the yarn joining device 90 performs joining of the yarn Y in each of the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b. That is, when the yarn Y is disconnected between the package P and the spinning device 3 of the first spinning unit 1a for some reason, the yarn joining device 90 joins the yarn Y from the package P and the yarn Y from the spinning device 3 at a first joining position (the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 2 ) SP1 for the first spinning unit 1a.
- the yarn joining device 90 joins the yarn Y from the package P and the yarn Y from the spinning device 3 at a second joining position (the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 3 ) SP2 for the second spinning unit 1b.
- the yarn joining device 90 is arranged so as to be movable along the predetermined direction D in a region between a first frame 17a and a second frame 17b, and the yarn joining device 90 is restricted from moving beyond the region between the first frame 17a and the second frame 17b.
- the first frame 17a is arranged along an edge of the first spinning unit 1a that is on the opposite side with respect to the position of the second spinning unit 1b, and supports at least a part (the winding device 4 and the like) of the first spinning unit 1a.
- the second frame 17b is arranged along an edge of the second spinning unit 1b that is on the opposite side with respect to the position of the first spinning unit 1a, and supports at least a part (the winding device 4 and the like) of the second spinning unit 1b.
- the yarn joining device 90 is movable along the predetermined direction D in a region between the edge of the first spinning unit 1a that is on the opposite side with respect to the position of the second spinning unit 1b and the edge of the second spinning unit 1b that is on the opposite side with respect to the position of the first spinning unit 1a.
- the yarn joining device 90 is restricted from moving in a region that is beyond the region between the edge of the first spinning unit 1a that is on the opposite side with respect to the position of the second spinning unit 1b and the edge of the second spinning unit 1b that is on the opposite side with respect to the position of the first spinning unit 1a.
- the reason why the yarn joining device 90 is movable along the predetermined direction D in a region between the first joining position SP1 for the first spinning unit 1a and the second joining position SP2 for the second spinning unit 1b is because a width W1 of the yarn joining device 90 along the predetermined direction D is equal to or less than a width W2 of each of the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b along the predetermined direction D.
- the width W1 of the yarn joining device 90 along the predetermined direction D is, for example, equal to or more than 210 millimeters (mm) and equal to or less than 260 mm.
- the width W2 of each of the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b along the predetermined direction D is, for example, equal to or more than 215 mm and equal to or less than 270 mm.
- the width W1 when viewed from a direction orthogonal to the predetermined direction D (e.g., when viewed from the front), is "a length of a side along the predetermined direction D" of a rectangle that is the smallest rectangle in which one entire yarn joining device 90 will fit.
- the width W1 when viewed from the direction orthogonal to the predetermined direction D, can be regarded as "a width along the predetermined direction D" of a (non-overlapping) portion of one yarn joining device 90 excluding an overlapping portion of the two yarn joining devices 90.
- the width W2 can also be regarded as a value obtained by dividing a distance between an inner side of the first frame 17a and an inner side of the second frame 17b by the number of the spinning units 1 (two in this embodiment) arranged between those inner sides.
- the width W2 can also be regarded as a value obtained by dividing a distance between a center of width of the first frame 17a and a center of width of the second frame 17b by the number of the spinning units 1 (two in this embodiment) arranged between those centers.
- the width W2 can also be regarded as a range having a certain length on each side of the predetermined direction D from the running path of the yarn Y. In this case, the running path of the yarn Y can pass through a center of the width W2, or need not pass through the center of the width W2.
- the yarn joining device 90 includes a yarn joining section 91, an upstream-side yarn conveying section (yarn conveying section) 92, a downstream-side yarn conveying section (yarn conveying section) 93, a carriage body 97, a driving section 98, and a not-shown controlling section.

- the second guide 12 is moved near the downstream side of the yarn pooling device 5.
- the yarn joining device 90 is moved to and stopped at the first standby position WP1 that is closer to the first joining position SP1 for the first spinning unit 1a.
- the yarn joining device 90 When the yarn Y is disconnected in the second spinning unit 1b, as shown in FIG. 3 , the yarn joining device 90 is moved to and stopped at the second joining position SP2 for the second spinning unit 1b, and similar to the above, the yarn joining operation is performed in the second spinning unit 1b.
- the yarn joining device 90 is moved to and stopped at the second standby position WP2 that is closer to the second joining position SP2 for the second spinning unit 1b.
- the yarn joining device 90 does not stand by at a central position that bisects the first joining position SP1 and the second joining position SP2. That is, the standby position of the yarn joining device 90 is a position offset from the central position toward the position where the yarn joining operation was performed.
- the yarn joining device 90 can be moved to a joining position that is closer to the current standby position making it possible to perform the yarn joining operation efficiently.
- the width W1 of the yarn joining device 90 in the predetermined direction D is equal to or less than the width W2 of each of the spinning units 1 in the predetermined direction D. Accordingly, when performing the yarn joining in each of the spinning units 1 arranged at either ends in the predetermined direction D among the plural spinning units 1 arranged along the predetermined direction D, it is prevented that the yarn joining device 90 protrudes outside each of those spinning units 1. Therefore, in the spinning machine 10, it is possible to suppress widening of the installation space.
- two different yarn joining devices 90 can be simultaneously positioned with respect to the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b that are arranged adjacent to each other via the frame 17 (the first frame 17a and the second frame 17b), and the yarn joining of the yarn Y can be performed in each of those first spinning unit 1a and second spinning unit 1b.
- the width W1 of the yarn joining device 90 along the predetermined direction D is, for example, equal to or more than 210 millimeters (mm) and equal to or less than 260 mm. Accordingly, a structure can be appropriately realized in which the width W1 of the yarn joining device 90 is equal to or less than the width W2 of the spinning unit 1.
- one yarn joining device 90 is arranged in common only for the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b that are arranged adjacent to each other along the predetermined direction D, and this yarn joining device 90 performs yarn joining in each of the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b. Therefore, even if the frequency of yarn joining in each of the spinning units 1 is low, in comparison with the case where one yarn joining device 90 is arranged for one spinning unit 1, the number of the yarn joining devices 90 required for the yarn joining hardly becomes excessive.
- one regulator that regulates an air pressure required in the yarn joining device 90 is arranged in common for plural yarn joining devices 90. Because a dedicated regulator is not arranged for the yarn joining device 90, it is possible to simplify the structure of the yarn joining device 90. Moreover, the weight of the yarn joining device 90 can be reduced and the working life of the components of the yarn joining device 90 can be prolonged. In addition, attachment and detachment operation of the yarn joining device 90 with respect to the pair of rails including the rails 18a and 18b can be performed easily, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the yarn joining device 90. Furthermore, in the spinning machine 10, as the movement distance of the yarn joining device 90 is shorter, the range of selection of the driving section 98 becomes wider. For example, it is possible to use an actuator, such as an air cylinder, as the driving section 98 instead of a driving motor.
- the yarn joining device 90 includes the driving section 98 for moving along the predetermined direction D. Therefore, the yarn joining device 90 can be easily moved to an appropriate position.
- the yarn joining device 90 includes the yarn joining section 91 that performs the yarn joining in each of the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b. Therefore, the yarn joining can be performed properly in each of the first spinning unit 1a and the second spinning unit 1b.
- the yarn joining section 91 is arranged so that the yarn joining section 91 can move close to and away from the running path of the yarn Y in the first spinning unit 1a, as well as can move close to and away from the running path of the yarn Y in the second spinning unit 1b.
- the yarn joining section 91 can be moved to such a position where it does not come in the way of other components.
- the yarn joining section 91 can properly perform the yarn joining on the running path of the yarn Y or near the running path of the yarn Y.
- the yarn joining device 90 includes the upstream-side yarn conveying section 92 that conveys the yarn Y from the spinning device 3 to the yarn joining section 91 when performing the yarn joining, and the downstream-side yarn conveying section 93 that conveys the yarn Y from the package P to the yarn joining section 91 when performing the yarn joining. Therefore, when performing the yarn joining, it is possible to properly convey the yarn Y from the spinning device 3 and the yarn Y from the package P to the yarn joining section 91.
- one yarn joining device 90 can be used to perform yarn joining in each of two or more to 15 or less spinning units 1 arranged adjacent to each other along the predetermined direction D.
- one yarn joining device 90 can be used to perform yarn joining in each of two or more to 10 or less spinning units 1 arranged adjacent to each other along the predetermined direction D. In these cases, even if the frequency of yarn joining in each of the spinning units 1 is low, in comparison with the case where one yarn joining device 90 is arranged for one spinning unit 1, the number of the yarn joining devices 90 required for the yarn joining hardly becomes excessive.
- a suction mouth having an elongated suction port of a length corresponding to the length of the package P can be used as the downstream-side yarn conveying section 93. If this configuration is adopted, the yarn pulling device 43 and the fourth guide 16 can be omitted. Moreover, at least one of the upstream-side yarn conveying section 92 and the downstream-side yarn conveying section 93 can be arranged in the spinning unit 1. This configuration leads to further reduction in the weight of the yarn joining device 90.
- the yarn joining section 91 is not limited to the one that can move close to and away from the running path of the yarn Y. That is, the yarn joining section 91 can be fixed at a position where it can perform the yarn joining in the yarn joining device 90. Furthermore, a mechanism for operating the first guide 11 and the second guide 12 can be included in the yarn joining device 90. Moreover, a configuration required for performing the yarn joining operation can be included in the yarn joining device 90.
- the draft cradle 26 can be arranged in each of the spinning units 1.
- the yarn winding machine according to the present invention is not to be limited to a spinning machine. That is, the yarn winding machine can be any other yarn winding machine such as an automatic winder. Furthermore, the first yarn winding unit and the second yarn winding unit according to the present invention are not to be limited to spinning units. That is, the first spinning unit and the second yarn winding unit can be any other yarn winding unit such as a winder unit. Moreover, the first yarn winding unit and the second yarn winding unit according to the present invention can have a configuration in which the yarn runs from up to down in the height direction of the yarn winding machine.
- a yarn winding machine includes at least two yarn winding units arranged adjacent to each other along a predetermined direction and each of which forms a package by winding a yarn; and at least one yarn joining device that is arranged so as to be movable along the predetermined direction and that performs yarn joining in each of the yarn winding units.
- the one yarn joining device performs yarn joining in at least two of the yarn winding units.
- a width of the yarn joining device in the predetermined direction is equal to or less than a width of each of the yarn winding units in the predetermined direction.
- the yarn winding units include at least three yarn winding units and the yarn joining devices include at least two yarn joining devices. Moreover, each of at least the two yarn joining devices performs yarn joining in each of at least the two yarn winding units among at least the three yarn winding units arranged adjacent to each other along the predetermined direction. In this configuration, two different yarn joining devices can be simultaneously positioned with respect to two winding units that are arranged adjacent to each other, and the yarn joining of the yarn Y can be performed in each of those two winding units.
- a width of the yarn joining device along the predetermined direction is equal to or more than 210 mm and equal to or less than 260 mm. Therefore, a configuration where a width of the yarn joining device in the predetermined direction is equal to or less than a width of each of the yarn winding units in the predetermined direction can be appropriately realized.
- the one yarn joining device performs yarn joining in each of two or more to 15 or less yarn winding units arranged adjacent to each other along the predetermined direction. Moreover, according to still another aspect of the present invention, in the above yarn winding machine, the one yarn joining device performs yarn joining in each of two or more to 10 or less yarn winding units arranged adjacent to each other along the predetermined direction. Moreover, according to still another aspect of the present invention, in the above yarn winding machine, the one yarn joining device is arranged in common only for the two yarn winding units arranged adjacent to each other along the predetermined direction and performs yarn joining in each of the two yarn winding units.
