Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for separating a thread from a thread layer according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the U.S. Patent No. 2,696,654 discloses a drawing-in machine in which the threads of a yarn sheet are grasped one by one by means of a reciprocating needle and pulled through a conventional weaving machine.
  • the threads of the yarn sheet for subsequent connection to the needle are transported by means of a screw having a helical groove in the circumference.
  • the threads enter the helical groove.
  • a separate warp stop element is provided which cooperates with the end of the extended portion of the groove wall to define a width defined inlet into the groove.
  • the warp stop element is movable relative to the extended portion of the groove wall to adjust the width of the inlet to the thickness of the warp thread.
  • the Kettfadenfangelement is the first element of the spindle, which comes into contact with the Garnschar in one revolution of the spindle. It has a pointed end, which can dive between the two terminal threads, so that only a single thread is taken. By turning the Kettfadenfangelements relative to the spindle, the width of the inlet can be adapted to the thread diameter. It should be noted that in the device of US 2,696,654 the separation of the threads of the Garnschar by the Warp catch element before entering the groove of the spindle takes place.
  • the publication GB 2117419 A discloses a separating device having a rotatable spindle (shaft 1) with a helical guide groove (groove 8) which are suitable for transporting threads (10a) along the spindle.
  • the rotatable spindle (1) has a conical part (conical part 2) which serves to deflect threads out of a first plane (10) into a second plane ( GB 2117419 A .
  • Fig. 2 and 3 Page 3, lines 48-73).
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a separating device which is compatible with different thread thicknesses, i. different thick threads can separate without mechanical components of the thread separating device would have to be changed or adjusted.
  • Yet another aim is to propose a thread separating device which has a simple and compact construction.
  • the present invention relates to a thread separating device for separating a thread from a first layer defining thread layer with a plurality of juxtaposed and substantially mutually parallel tensioned threads.
  • the thread separating device has a first first spindle rotatable about a rotation axis, in the circumference of which a first helical guide path is provided.
  • the spindle is adapted to transport a plurality of filaments in the helical path in an axial (X-direction) transporting direction along the first spindle when rotating.
  • the spindle is rotationally driven by means of a first drive, which is in communication with the spindle.
  • a deflection part for a deflection of the threads received in the first guide track out of the first plane into a second plane and a first discharge edge for the ejection of the threads from the first guide track into a third plane are provided.
  • the first discharge edge is provided on the first spindle and is located where the first helical guide path ends.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that a single geometry of the spindle - in contrast to the aforementioned US 2,696,654 - Can be used for thread separation for virtually all types of yarns of different properties.
  • a thread separation can thus be realized by a thread tension is built up in the Z direction (perpendicular to the thread layer), so that a separation of the threads can take place at the discharge edge.
  • a thread is deflected when the thread is removed from its rectilinear configuration in the thread layer.
  • helical should also be understood as meaning “helical” if the spindle is not cylindrical but conical in the region of the guideway.
  • the first discharge edge is realized by a diameter reduction of the first spindle, which discharge edge is formed in the bottom of the first helical guide track. That is, the guideway leads up to the steeply sloping discharge edge at which the separation takes place approach.
  • An inventively designed spindle can be produced at low cost.
  • the deflection part has a surface inclined with respect to the first plane of the thread layer. Due to the inclined surface, a deflection of one or more threads out of the plane of the thread layer can be effected during operation of the thread separating device. The threads are already pulled apart during the deflection perpendicular to the first thread layer.
  • both the deflection part and the spindle can be separate components.
  • the first spindle can then be rotatable relative to the deflection part and can be displaced together with the deflection part in the axial direction.
  • the deflection part is designed as a cone, cone, truncated cone with a straight or curved deflection surface, which can bring about a deflection of the outer threads of the thread layer.
  • the deflection part has a smooth (groove-less) surface. Of importance for a good functioning is that the frictional force between threads and deflection surface is minimized.
  • the deflection part is part of the first spindle and the deflection part has an arcuate surface.
  • the first spindle may have the shape of a relative to the axis of rotation of the first spindle inclined convex surface with a progressive change in the diameter such as a circular cylinder, a cone or a truncated cone.
  • a plurality of helical guideways are formed in the circumference of the first spindle, whereby a multi-start thread is formed.
  • Each guideway has a separate thread entry. Accordingly, each guideway has its own first discharge edge.
  • threads can therefore enter one of the guideways at different rotational positions of the first spindle. As a result, a larger number of threads can be received in the guideways of the first spindle during rotation of the first spindle. The performance of the Fadensepariervoriques can therefore be improved.
  • a transport device for the transport away of the threads dropped from the first spindle is arranged at the discharge edge of the first spindle, e.g. to a measuring position.
  • the transport device can be driven by a second drive.
  • the threads are transported in the first guide track at a first transport speed and on the transport device at a second transport speed.
  • the second transport speed is greater than the first transport speed.
  • the first spindle is driven by a first drive and the transport device by a second drive. It is conceivable, however, only one drive and corresponding gear for the operation of the first Spindle and the transport device at different speeds.
  • the transport device is hereinafter referred to as a "transport spindle" formed by a second rotatable spindle.
  • a second helical guideway e.g. a screw thread
  • the guideway of the second spindle serves to receive and further transport a dropped from the first spindle thread.
  • First spindle and second spindle are preferably arranged coaxially with each other.
  • the diameter of the second spindle is smaller than the diameter of the first spindle.
  • the diameter of the second spindle is 0.3 to 0.8 times the diameter of the first spindle (measured perpendicular to the axis of rotation at the first discharge edge).
  • the second spindle subsequently to the second helical guide track has a second discharge edge for the discharge of the threads from the second guide track into a fourth plane.
  • the thread catching point in the fourth plane can serve as a measuring position in order to check a separated thread with regard to parameters of interest, such as the achievement of singling, color, thickness, etc.
  • the first and second helical guideways may be formed as grooves and / or as a raised screw thread. Both variants form a thread notch and are inexpensive to implement.
  • a third rotatable spindle is provided after the second spindle in order to achieve the separation of the threads of a thread layer with a very high degree of reliability.
  • the second spindle may be in the form of a pointed arc, a truncated cone or a cone in longitudinal section. With such a shape, the second spindle generates a larger yarn tension in the Z direction than with a cylindrical shape. As a result, a hook has more free space in the Z direction in order to grasp the separated thread dropped by the second spindle and to remove it from the test position.
  • the thread separating device has a feed drive for displacing the first spindle relative to the thread layer substantially parallel to the first plane of the thread layer.
  • a control device for controlling the feed drive and a yarn testing device which is in communication with the control device provided.
  • the speed of rotation of the spindles can be adjusted individually with the help of the control.
  • the Fadenprüfvorraum is suitable to control a dropped from the first spindle thread.
  • the yarn testing device (camera) is adapted to monitor the entire yarn separation process by covering its monitoring field with a yarn from its position in the yarn layer to its position in the fourth plane.
  • a first angle section is defined as an ejection turning region and a second angular section as a dead-turning region about a rotation axis of the first spindle.
  • the first spindle is slower in the discharge rotational range than rotationally driven in the dead revolution range.
  • the subject of the present invention is also a knotting machine with two inventive thread separating devices.
  • a further subject of the present invention is a crosshair reading machine with a thread separating device according to the invention.
  • the crosshair read-in machine reads in a crosshair between all the threads of a thread layer separated by the thread-separating device.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is a drawing-in machine with a thread separating device according to the invention.
  • the drawing machine pulls a thread separated by the thread separating device into a weaving harness, i. in a lamella, in a strand and / or in a reed, a.
  • This method has the great advantage that it can be realized with simple means and reliably and regularly allows the separation of a thread of a thread layer.
  • the filaments accommodated in the helical guide track are deflected in a second direction which runs at an angle and preferably approximately perpendicular to the first direction.
  • the first spindle is rotated intermittently, ie it is rotated alternately by a few degrees and then stopped or accelerated.
  • the first spindle can also be rotated more slowly in the throw-off range as in Totcard Anlagen, so that the threads jump off in chronological succession.
  • the separated thread can be checked on the third level or transported from the third level to a measuring position. Particularly preferably, the separated thread is transported from the third level further to a second discharge edge, from where the thread is dropped onto a fourth level.
  • This variant has the advantage that the quality of the separation is improved.
  • the threads are transported at a first axial transport speed to the first discharge edge of the first spindle and from there at a larger second axial transport speed to the second discharge edge.

  • the guideway of the screw thread 29 is formed as a groove with a groove bottom 30 (cylindrical, diameter 01).
  • Several threads 15 of the thread layer can find space in the guide track 27, ie, the guide track 27 does not cause a separation of the threads in each case, but only a grouping of the threads in one thread between two adjacent flanks 37 of the guide track 27.

  • the second spindle in the Abschprint Scheme the first spindle is rotationally driven such that the transport speed of a thread in the thread on the second spindle in the X direction is greater than the transport speed of a thread in the thread on the first spindle in the X direction.
  • the very fast transport movement on the second spindle allows a reinforcement of the singulation process, since the next thread dropped by the first spindle reaches the thread of the second spindle only after at least one revolution of the second spindle.
  • each thread is dropped again at the second discharge edge and the thread reaches a test position on the cylinder part of the second spindle.
  • the separation result is checked with a yarn testing device (preferably a camera or a voltage sensor).
  • a yarn testing device preferably a camera or a voltage sensor.
  • a double thread can be detected (with a camera or a camera) Tension sensor), the color of the separated thread and / or further thread properties of the thread are determined (with camera 40).
  • the rotation of the second spindle is preferably stopped during the test time to perform the test.
  • the separation was successful, i. if only a single thread is in the test position and possibly the isolated thread - as expected - the right color and the correct diameter, the isolated thread is taken with a hook and led away for subsequent cutting and linking with a scattered thread of the other thread layer , The second spindle is then rotated again to transport another thread to the test position.
  • the drives of the first and second spindles as well as the feeding of each thread separating device of the knitting machine are stopped immediately (the thread checking device is connected to the control of the spindles).
  • the spindles are raised or lowered in the Z direction so that all threads are no longer in contact with the spindles.
  • Each separation device is then returned to an initial position of the arranged thread layer and the thread separation process is restarted.
  • the double thread is automatically returned from the test position to the second spindle or to the first spindle, for example by reversing the direction of rotation of the first and second spindle and "lifting" the threads at each discharge edge by means of at least one driver, which is arranged on the second discharge edge forming shoulder of the second spindle or at the rear end of the first spindle. Then the thread separation is restarted.
  • the diameter of the thread is also preferably measured. With this measurement, one knows approximately the thread density and can adjust the feed automatically (the thread testing device is connected to the control of the feed) or by hand.
  • the feed of the knitting machine is selected so that the feed is equal to or lower than the transport speed of the yarns in the X direction on each spindle (which depends on pitch and speed).
  • the spindles are not arranged coaxially but side by side in the thread direction (Y direction).
  • the first spindle has 3 helical guide tracks 27a, 27b, 27c (between 2 and 5 guide tracks are conceivable) in the form of a multiple thread.
  • Each guideway 27a, 27b, 27c terminates at its own discharge edge 31a, 31b, 31c.
  • the 3 entries (entries 34a, 34b in FIG. 5 Recognizable) of the 3 guideways 27a, 27b, 27c and the first three discharge edges 31a, 31b, 31c are located at the same height in the X direction.
  • Each thread of the thread layer is transported when rotating the first spindle 17 in the direction of rotation 32 'only in one of the 3 guideways 27a, 27b, 27c along the first spindle 17 and dropped on one of the 3 discharge edges 31a, 31b, 31c on the second spindle 41.
  • the second spindle 41 has a frusto-conical cross-section in this embodiment. With such a shape, the second spindle 41 generates a larger yarn tension in the Z direction than with a cylindrical shape.
  • the thread separating device 11 has only a single first spindle 17, wherein each individual thread dropped from the single spindle is interlocked with a hook in the third plane.
  • the inventive thread separating device can also be used when the thread layer is arranged with cross cords.
  • the thread separating device cooperates with a cross module which is movable at a predetermined angle to each side from the first plane of the warp thread layer and which has at least two cross tubes for receiving the cross cords, so that threads of the thread layer are released from the cross. Then, the threads are transported on the Gruppierspindel the Fadensepariervorraum and dropped by the Gruppierspindel successively. This makes it possible to separate a single thread from the thread layer arranged in cross-strands.
