Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for operating a draw frame, in particular for starting and/or stopping the draw frame, for example for a can change and/or for threading the fiber sliver into a sliver channel.
- a sliver is passed between the drafting system rollers of a drafting system, which distort the sliver.
- a thin point is produced in the sliver in order to be able to separate the sliver at the thin point.
- the present invention includes a draw frame for drafting the sliver with a controller, by means of which at least drafting system rollers of the drafting system can be controlled.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to increase process reliability when operating the draw frame.
- a method for operating a route, in particular for starting and/or stopping the route is proposed.
- the starting and stopping can be carried out, for example, for a can change and/or for a later threading of a fiber sliver into a sliver channel.
- the sliver is passed between drafting rollers of a drafting system, which stretch the sliver. Before the sliver reaches the drafting rollers, it has a certain thickness. The sliver is stretched lengthwise by the drafting system rollers so that it becomes thinner. Thinning makes the sliver more uniform and more workable for subsequent processing. In order to be able to separate the sliver, a thin area is created in the sliver by the drafting system rollers. The thin point serves as a predetermined breaking point or as a desired weak point, so that the sliver can be defined and easily separated there.
- the thin point in the sliver is produced during a holding phase of the draw frame.
- the draw frame is stopped so that, for example, a sliver jam is prevented.
- the fiber sliver can then be treated further while the draw frame is stationary.
- the sliver is separated in a controlled manner at the thin point.
- a can change and/or maintenance of the draw frame can be carried out.
- the thin point in the sliver is produced during a start phase of the drawing frame.
- the fiber sliver is separated by means of the thin area created in the starting phase, so that the fiber sliver has a defined start from this point. In particular, this allows thick points to be removed from the sliver at the start of the draw frame.
- a length and/or a thickness of the thin point is generated as a function of parameters of the fiber sliver and/or the draw frame.
- Parameters of the fiber sliver are, for example, the fiber material, a strength of the fiber sliver and/or the nature. If the sliver has a large cross section, for example, it is advantageous if the thin area has a longer extension along the sliver, so that a transition from the thin area to the normal sliver is flatter. If, on the other hand, the dimensions of the drafting system are smaller, for example, it is advantageous if the thin point has a smaller extent along the sliver. If, on the other hand, the strength of the sliver is high, for example, the thin point can be made particularly thin.
- the drafting system is closed before or in the starting phase of the draw frame and/or opened after or in the holding phase of the draw frame of the drafting system.
- a cover of the drafting system can be closed and/or opened. This is a relief for the staff who have to carry out maintenance work on the drafting system, for example.
- the starting phase has a duration of between 0.5 s and 5 s, with the fiber sliver being accelerated to a delivery speed during this duration.
- the duration can also be between 1 s and 4 s, with the thin point being generated during this duration.
- the thin point can be created in an initial section, in a middle section and/or in an end section of the duration, with the individual sections dividing the starting phase into equal time periods, for example.
- the sliver can be accelerated to a maximum delivery speed of 1200 m/min, for example.
- the drafting system rollers are set in rotation.
- the maximum delivery speed corresponds to a speed on a delivery drive of approx. 4500 rpm (revolutions per minute) and approx. 9500 rpm at the output cylinders of the drafting system rollers.
- the holding phase has a duration of between 0.2 s and 4 s, with the fiber sliver being decelerated by the delivery speed during this duration.
- the delivery drive and the output cylinders are braked from a maximum speed (similar to the values for the start phase).
- the thin point can be generated in an initial section, in a middle section and/or in an end section of the duration, with the individual sections dividing the holding phase into equal time periods, for example.
- the delivery speed of the sliver is continuously reduced during the holding phase.
- the delivery speed can be reduced linearly and/or parabolic, for example.
- the delivery speed of the sliver can be generated by the rotation of the drafting system rollers.
- the delivery speed of the sliver can be reduced by reducing the speed of the drafting rollers.
- a continuous reduction in the delivery speed can therefore be achieved by continuously reducing the speed of the drafting system rollers.
- the continuous reduction of the speed of the drafting system rollers can be carried out with particularly little effort and in a way that is gentle on the material.
- the location of the thin point naturally depends on the delivery speed of the sliver.
- the location of the thin spot is easier to trace with a continuous decrease in the delivery speed than with a more complicated course of the delivery speed.
- the continuous decrease in the speed of the rollers and the resulting decrease in the delivery speed can be particularly easy to reach.
- the drafting system rollers can be switched to be non-driven by switching off an electric current from a drive. Due to frictional resistance, among other things in the bearings of the drafting system rollers, the speed is constantly reduced, so that the delivery speed of the sliver is also continuously reduced.
- the drafting system rollers can also be braked with the aid of a braking device.
- a constant braking effect leads to a linear reduction in the speed of the drafting system rollers and thus to a linear reduction in the delivery speed of the sliver.
- a continuous braking of the drafting system rollers and thus a continuous reduction in the delivery speed also has another advantage.
- the fiber sliver is slowed down gently, so that flaws in the fiber sliver are prevented as well as possible.
- the continuous braking of the drafting system rollers also has advantages for the mechanics of the drafting system compared to non-continuous braking. Abrupt braking can lead to increased wear, for example of bearings, couplings between a drive and the drafting system rollers, or to overloading of the electronics, which is largely prevented with continuous braking.
- the delivery speed of the fiber sliver is continuously increased during the starting phase.
- Increasing the delivery speed of the sliver continuously has essentially the same advantages as reducing the delivery speed.
- the sliver is protected, the mechanics of the drafting system rollers and/or the drive are less stressed and it can be carried out more easily.
- the thin point is formed by means of an increase in a draft applied compared to the normal drafting of the sliver.
- normal warping is a factor of six. This means that a fiber sliver leaving the drafting system is stretched six times compared to a fiber sliver entering the drafting system.
- the distortion can be increased by 25% to 100%, for example.
- the delay can preferably also be increased by 50%.
- the 50% increase in warpage means that while the thin spot is being created, the warpage is short term by a factor of nine. After the thin point has been created, the distortion is reset to the value of six, for example.
- the increase in the delay is formed by reducing the speed of a pair of rollers of the drafting system rollers compared to a speed of a pair of rollers of the drafting system rollers arranged downstream of this pair of rollers in the delivery direction of the sliver.
- the delay is thus achieved in that a speed of a pair of rollers, which is in contact with the fiber sliver first in the delivery direction, is reduced compared to a subsequent pair of rollers.
- the speed of a pair of rollers located further to the rear in the delivery direction of the sliver can also be increased compared to a pair of rollers located further forward in order to increase the draft.
- the speed of at least one pair of rollers of the drafting system rollers can be reduced compared to a pair of delivery rollers arranged downstream, in order to produce the thin point.
- the pair of delivery rollers can be arranged, for example, between the turntable and the sliver funnel.
- the stopping phase is carried out when a malfunction of the path is detected, with the thin point first being produced during the stopping phase and then the path being stopped.
- a malfunction can be, for example, a sliver winding around a drafting system roller, a sliver jam or the like, which reduces or even prevents the draw frame from functioning properly. If the malfunction is detected, the holding phase is carried out and the thin point is produced during the holding phase, so that after the malfunction has been eliminated the fiber sliver can be separated at the thin point and can be supplied again.
- the holding phase can also be carried out as follows.
- An electronic coupling can be canceled between an infeed drive and a delivery and/or deposit drive. Due to the inertia ratios, the feed drive can decelerate much more quickly than if it has to run synchronously with the delivery drive and/or the storage drive. In these cases, braking the infeed drive as quickly as possible reduces the lap thickness, for example, since less material is fed into the drafting system than with normal stopping. Additionally or alternatively, the delay can also be significantly increased during the holding phase.
- an end part of the sliver arranged after the thin point in the delivery direction of the sliver is removed manually, mechanically and/or by means of compressed air, so that the sliver is separated at the thin point.
- the end part of the sliver can still be removed in the holding phase and/or in the starting phase.
- the tail is removed, there remains a beginning of the remaining sliver beginning with the thin spot.
- the thinner sliver in the region of the thin point can be threaded more easily between rollers located behind and/or more easily into a sliver funnel located behind. If the end part is removed during the holding phase and/or the starting phase so that only at least part of the thin area at the beginning of the sliver remains, subsequent threading can be carried out more easily.
- a sliver defect for example a fiber winding of the sliver around a drafting roller, a defect in the sliver or a sliver jam is removed manually, mechanically and/or by means of compressed air and the thin point is then produced, particularly in the starting phase.
- the beginning of the sliver which is still thinned out by the thin point, can be threaded more easily between the calender rollers and/or into the sliver funnel during the starting phase.
- the sliver is separated in a region of the thin point, so that an initial part of the sliver is still thinned.
- this thinned initial part can be threaded more easily into the sliver funnel and/or between a pair of rollers.
- the initial part can also be more easily threaded back between the drafting system rollers or into the drafting system if the sliver also slips out of the drafting system.
- the initial part is arranged at the end of the sliver, which is arranged in the drafting system.
- this thinned initial part of the sliver is threaded by means of an air flow, in particular in the holding phase and/or starting phase, into a sliver funnel arranged in the delivery direction after the drafting system rollers and/or between the pair of calender rollers.
- the draw frame has an air nozzle, for example, which is arranged in the area of the sliver funnel so that it generates the air flow that threads the initial part into the sliver funnel.
- the route can also have several air nozzles have, so that, for example, the beginning part can be threaded additionally or alternatively between the drafting rollers of the drafting system or between the calender rollers.
- the end of the initial part of the fiber sliver is delivered further until the thin point or the end of the initial part of the fiber sliver is in a region of a turntable, in particular in an area of an outlet of the turntable.
- the onward transport can also preferably be carried out during the holding phase and/or the starting phase.
- the fiber sliver is measured by sensors after and/or during the starting phase of the drawing frame.
- the sensors can be arranged, for example, on the pair of calender rollers and can be designed, for example, as microwave sensors and/or light barrier sensors.
- a controller continues to operate the route based on the measurement of the sensors if the start phase is successful. Additionally or alternatively, in the event of an incorrect start phase, the controller can stop the segment again, preferably after the thin point has been generated again.
- a draw frame for drafting a sliver with a controller, by means of which at least drafting system rollers of a drafting system can be controlled.
- the controller is configured in such a way that the route can be operated according to a method according to one or more of the descriptions above and/or below.
- figure 1 shows a schematic view of a draw frame 1 in which a sliver 2 is stretched.
- the sliver 2 is stretched in a delivery direction L in a drafting system 3 and deposited in a can 14 by a turntable 13 .
- this has a pair of transport rollers 8. Downstream in the delivery direction L are two lower deflection points 9a, 9b and two upper deflection points 10a, 10b. After the deflection points 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b, the sliver 2 is introduced into the drafting system 3, in which the sliver 2 is drawn.
- the drafting system 3 comprises an input roller pair 4, an intermediate roller pair 5 and an output roller pair 6.
- the input roller pair 4 also has a lower roller 4a and an upper roller 4b
- the intermediate roller pair 5 has a lower roller 5a and an upper roller 5b
- the output roller pair 6 has a lower roller 6a and two top rollers 6b, 6c.
- All rollers mentioned here can be combined as drafting rollers 4, 5, 6.
- the top rollers 4b, 5b, 6b, 6c all have a direction of rotation D (for the sake of simplicity, the direction of rotation D is only shown on the top roller 4b).
- the lower rollers 4a, 5a, 6a all have a direction of rotation opposite to the direction of rotation D, so that the sliver 2 is passed on through the drafting system rollers 4, 5, 6.
- the sliver 2 is passed between the drafting system rollers 4, 5, 6 of the drafting system 3.
- the drafting system 3 drafts the sliver 2 in that a rotational speed of the drafting system rollers 4, 5, 6 in the delivery direction L is increased.
- the input roller pair 4 rotates at a reference speed.
- the pair of intermediate rollers 5 rotates at a higher rotational speed than the reference speed, so that the sliver is stretched between the pair of input rollers 4 and the pair of intermediate rollers 5 .
- the output roller pair 6 can rotate at a higher rotational speed than the intermediate roller pair 5.
- the fiber sliver 2 is also stretched or warped by these two roller pairs 5, 6.
- the sliver 2 can be drawn by a factor of six by the drafting system 3 . This means that the fiber sliver 2 has a cross section six times higher before it enters the drafting system 3 than after the drafting system 3 . As a result, the sliver 2 is homogenized.
- the warped sliver 2 After the warped sliver 2 leaves the drafting system 3 , it is passed through a sliver funnel 11 and after the sliver funnel 11 is measured by a pair of calender rollers 12 . The sliver 2 is finally deposited in the can 14 by means of a turntable 13 .
- a thin point 7 in the sliver 2 is arranged between the pair of output rollers 6 and the sliver funnel 11 , and it can be separated at the thin point 7 .
- the thin point 7 acts as a predetermined breaking point.
- the thin point 7 is created in such a way that the sliver 2 together with the thin point 7 can be transported further.
- the thin point 7 shown here and arranged between the pair of output rollers 6 and the sliver funnel 11 can be transported further to a region of the turntable 13 .
- the fiber sliver 2 can only be separated, for example in order to carry out a can change, when the thin point 7 is arranged on the turntable 13, in particular at its outlet.
- the thin point 7 can have a cross section and a length in the direction of the sliver 2 that depend on a material and/or the nature of the sliver 2 itself.
- the thin point 7 can be made very thin if the sliver 2 is made of a resistant material. As a result, the transportability of the sliver 2 is still given. However, the sliver 2 can also easily be separated at the thin point 7 .
- the thin point 7 in the sliver 2 is produced during a holding phase of the draw frame 1 .
- the thin point 7 can also be generated during a start phase of the section 1 . If the thin point 7 is produced during the holding phase and/or start phase, the productivity of the section 1 is increased since the additional step for producing the thin point 7 can be dispensed with.
- the fiber sliver 2 can still be separated at the thin point 7 during the holding phase and/or starting phase.
- the process reliability is increased by the production of the thin point 7 and the subsequent stopping of the draw frame 1, since the fiber sliver is no longer separated and further processed at the thin point 7 while the draw frame 1 is running. This avoids a source of error.
- the thin point 7 can also be produced if a pair of rollers further ahead in the delivery direction L of the fiber sliver 2 is braked, whereas the other pairs of rollers are not braked or are braked to a lesser extent.
- the pair of transport rollers 8 can be decoupled from the others in terms of a rotational behavior.
- the pair of transport rollers 8 can also be braked to a greater extent because it has a simpler structure.
- the pair of transport rollers 8 decelerates more quickly, for example due to a lower weight. If the pair of transport rollers 8 is independently braked faster than, for example, the drafting rollers 4, 5, 6, the sliver 2 is also stretched more, so that the thin point 7 is formed.
- the thin point 7 is formed in an area between the pair of transport rollers 8 and the drafting system 3 .
- This has the advantage that less fiber sliver 2 reaches the drafting system 3 as a result.
- the drafting system rollers 4, 5, 6 do not have to be braked. They can also continue to be driven quite normally until the thin point 7 has been transported further, for example to the position shown or to the turntable 13 .
- the draw frame 1 has a sliver separator 22 .
- This can separate the sliver 2 mechanically and/or, as shown in this exemplary embodiment, by means of an air nozzle.
- the sliver separator 22 generates an air flow between the sliver funnel 11 and the pair of calender rollers 12, which exerts a force on the sliver 2 arranged there.
- the sliver separator 22 can also tear off the sliver 2 mechanically.
- the sliver separator 22 can include an arm that pulls away the sliver 2 and thereby tears it off.
- the sliver separator 22 can also be arranged in another area in the draw frame 1 .
- the sliver separator 22 can also be arranged directly in the area of the thin point 7, in the area of the drafting system 3, in the area between the pair of calender rollers 12 and the turntable 13 and/or in the area between the turntable 13 and the can 14.
- the sliver separator 22 can be arranged, for example, where the thin point should preferably be located during separation.
- a separation of the sliver 2 without a sliver separator 22 is possible, for example, by initiating a can change when the thin point 7 is in the turntable 13 or in the region between the turntable 13 and the can 14 .
- the sliver 2 in the can is removed from the turntable 13 more quickly than the sliver 2 is subsequently supplied, as a result of which the sliver 2 tears at the thin point 7 .
- figure 2 shows a diagram with operating parameters of route 1 as an example during the holding phase.
- the x-axis corresponds to the time axis.
- the y-axis corresponds to speed values for two speed curves 16, 17 on the one hand and values for a delay 15 on the other.
- the holding phase has a beginning 20 and an end 21 .
- the thin point 7 is generated during the holding phase.
- the diagram also shows the warpage 15, which is essentially constant at least in sections, in particular up to a point in time at which a warpage increase 18 begins.
- the delay 15 in the constant range can have a value of six, for example.
- the two speed curves 16 and 17 of, for example, two pairs of rollers of the drafting system 3 are shown in the diagram.
- the speed curves 16, 17 are shown congruently except for a period of a speed reduction 19.
- this does not necessarily mean that the speed curves 16 and 17 also have the same value.
- a different scale than for the speed curve 17 can apply to the speed curve 16 .
- the speed curve 16 applies to a pair of rollers that move in the delivery direction L of the sliver 2 (cf. figure 1 ) is positioned in front of a pair of rollers with the speed profile 17.
- the speed curve 16 applies to the input roller pair 4 of the drafting system 3 and the speed curve 17 to the intermediate roller pair 5 or the output roller pair 6.
- the speed curve 17 can also be used for an in figure 1 not shown pair of delivery rollers apply, which is arranged in the delivery direction L of the sliver 2 after the drafting system 3.
- the speed profile 16 can also apply to the intermediate roller pair 5 and the speed profile 17 to the output roller pair 6 and/or the delivery roller pair.
- the speed curve 16 can also apply to the output roller pair 6 and the speed curve 17 to the delivery roller pair.
- the pair of output rollers 6 rotates faster than the pair of intermediate rollers 5 and the pair of intermediate rollers 5 faster than the pair of input rollers 4. If the speeds of the pairs of drafting rollers 4, 5, 6 are constant, the draft 15 of the sliver 2 is also constant, for example at one factor six.
- the draft increase 18 is formed at least briefly.
- a speed reduction 19 is carried out.
- the speed of the input roller pair 4 is briefly decelerated to form the draft increase 18 compared to the speed of a subsequent roller pair, as is illustrated by the speed curve 16 arranged below the speed curve 17 during the speed reduction 19 .
- the two speed curves 16 and 17 are continuously falling.
- the two speed curves 16 and 17 are even designed to fall linearly. This is of particular advantage since the thin point 7 is produced gently for the fiber sliver 2 by means of such speed curves 16 and 17 .
- this protects the mechanics of the drafting system 3 because abrupt accelerations of the drafting system rollers 4, 5, 6 and their drives are largely avoided.
- the linear speed curves 16, 17 can be achieved, for example, by switching the roller pairs 4, 5, 6 and/or the delivery roller drive to a non-driven state.
- the rollers are braked to a standstill by frictional resistance.
- the rollers can also be slowed down with the help of a braking device.
- the duration of the holding phase ie the time difference between the end 21 and the beginning 20 of the holding phase, can be in a range between 0.2 s and 4 s, for example. However, the holding phase can also have a duration of between 0.5 s and 2 s.
- figure 3 shows a schematic view of a drawing frame 1 with fiber sliver 2 separated at the thin point 7.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Strecke, insbesondere zum Starten und/oder Anhalten der Strecke, beispielsweise für einen Kannenwechsel und/oder zum Einfädeln des Faserbandes in einen Bandkanal. Dabei wird ein Faserband zwischen Streckwerkswalzen eines Streckwerks hindurch geleitet, welche das Faserband verziehen. Außerdem wird im Faserband eine Dünnstelle erzeugt, um an der Dünnstelle das Faserband trennen zu können. Ferner umfasst die vorliegende Erfindung eine Strecke zum Verziehen des Faserbandes mit einer Steuerung, mittels der zumindest Streckwerkswalzen des Streckwerks gesteuert werden können.The present invention relates to a method for operating a draw frame, in particular for starting and/or stopping the draw frame, for example for a can change and/or for threading the fiber sliver into a sliver channel. In this case, a sliver is passed between the drafting system rollers of a drafting system, which distort the sliver. In addition, a thin point is produced in the sliver in order to be able to separate the sliver at the thin point. Furthermore, the present invention includes a draw frame for drafting the sliver with a controller, by means of which at least drafting system rollers of the drafting system can be controlled.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es somit, eine Prozesssicherheit beim Betreiben der Strecke zu erhöhen.The object of the present invention is therefore to increase process reliability when operating the draw frame.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Strecke sowie der Strecke selbst mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Patentansprüche.The object is achieved by a method for operating a track and the track itself with the features of the independent patent claims.
Vorgeschlagen wird ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Strecke, insbesondere zum Starten und/oder Anhalten der Strecke. Das Starten bzw. das Anhalten kann beispielsweise für einen Kannenwechsel und/oder für ein späteres Einfädeln eines Faserbandes in einen Bandkanal durchgeführt werden.A method for operating a route, in particular for starting and/or stopping the route, is proposed. The starting and stopping can be carried out, for example, for a can change and/or for a later threading of a fiber sliver into a sliver channel.
Bei dem Verfahren wird das Faserband zwischen Streckwerkswalzen eines Streckwerks hindurch geleitet, welche das Faserband verstrecken. Bevor das Faserband die Streckwerkswalzen erreicht, weist es eine gewisse Dicke auf. Durch die Streckwerkswalzen wird das Faserband in die Länge gestreckt, so dass es sich verdünnt. Durch das Verdünnen wird das Faserband gleichmäßiger und wird für eine nachfolgende Bearbeitung besser bearbeitbar. Um das Faserband trennen zu können, wird durch die Streckwerkswalzen eine Dünnstelle im Faserband erzeugt. Die Dünnstelle dient als Sollbruchstelle bzw. als eine gewollte Schwachstelle, so dass daran das Faserband definiert und leicht getrennt werden kann.In the method, the sliver is passed between drafting rollers of a drafting system, which stretch the sliver. Before the sliver reaches the drafting rollers, it has a certain thickness. The sliver is stretched lengthwise by the drafting system rollers so that it becomes thinner. Thinning makes the sliver more uniform and more workable for subsequent processing. In order to be able to separate the sliver, a thin area is created in the sliver by the drafting system rollers. The thin point serves as a predetermined breaking point or as a desired weak point, so that the sliver can be defined and easily separated there.
Erfindungsgemäß wird während einer Haltephase der Strecke die Dünnstelle im Faserband erzeugt. Nach dem Ausbilden der Dünnstelle wird die Strecke gestoppt, so dass beispielsweise ein Faserbandstau verhindert wird. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann danach das Faserband bei stehender Strecke weiter behandelt werden. Das Faserband wird an der Dünnstelle kontrolliert getrennt. Außerdem kann, nachdem die Strecke gestoppt ist, ein Kannenwechsel und/oder eine Wartung der Strecke durchgeführt werden.According to the invention, the thin point in the sliver is produced during a holding phase of the draw frame. After the thin point has been formed, the draw frame is stopped so that, for example, a sliver jam is prevented. Additionally or alternatively, the fiber sliver can then be treated further while the draw frame is stationary. The sliver is separated in a controlled manner at the thin point. In addition, after the draw frame has stopped, a can change and/or maintenance of the draw frame can be carried out.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ wird während einer Startphase der Strecke die Dünnstelle im Faserband erzeugt. Mittels der in der Startphase erzeugten Dünnstelle wird das Faserband getrennt, so dass das Faserband ab dieser Stelle einen definierten Anfang aufweist. Insbesondere können dadurch Dickstellen zum Start der Strecke im Faserband entfernt werden.Additionally or alternatively, the thin point in the sliver is produced during a start phase of the drawing frame. The fiber sliver is separated by means of the thin area created in the starting phase, so that the fiber sliver has a defined start from this point. In particular, this allows thick points to be removed from the sliver at the start of the draw frame.
In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird eine Länge und/oder eine Dicke der Dünnstelle in Abhängigkeit von Parametern des Faserbandes und/oder der Strecke erzeugt. Parameter des Faserbandes sind beispielsweise das Fasermaterial, eine Festigkeit des Faserbandes und/oder die Beschaffenheit. Weist das Faserband beispielsweise einen großen Querschnitt auf, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Dünnstelle eine längere Ausdehnung entlang des Faserbandes hat, so dass ein Übergang von der Dünnstelle zum normalen Faserband flacher ist. Sind dagegen beispielsweise die Abmessungen des Streckwerks geringer, ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Dünnstelle eine geringere Ausdehnung entlang des Faserbandes aufweist. Ist dagegen beispielsweise die Festigkeit des Faserbandes hoch, kann die Dünnstelle besonders dünn ausgebildet werden.In an advantageous development of the invention, a length and/or a thickness of the thin point is generated as a function of parameters of the fiber sliver and/or the draw frame. Parameters of the fiber sliver are, for example, the fiber material, a strength of the fiber sliver and/or the nature. If the sliver has a large cross section, for example, it is advantageous if the thin area has a longer extension along the sliver, so that a transition from the thin area to the normal sliver is flatter. If, on the other hand, the dimensions of the drafting system are smaller, for example, it is advantageous if the thin point has a smaller extent along the sliver. If, on the other hand, the strength of the sliver is high, for example, the thin point can be made particularly thin.
Ebenfalls ist es von Vorteil, wenn vor oder in der Startphase der Strecke das Streckwerk geschlossen und/oder nach oder in der Haltephase der Strecke des Streckwerks geöffnet wird. Dazu kann beispielsweise eine Abdeckung des Streckwerks geschlossen und/oder geöffnet werden. Dies ist eine Erleichterung für das Personal, das beispielsweise Wartungsarbeiten an dem Streckwerk durchführen muss.It is also advantageous if the drafting system is closed before or in the starting phase of the draw frame and/or opened after or in the holding phase of the draw frame of the drafting system. For this purpose, for example, a cover of the drafting system can be closed and/or opened. This is a relief for the staff who have to carry out maintenance work on the drafting system, for example.
Von Vorteil ist es auch, wenn die Startphase eine Dauer zwischen 0,5 s und 5 s aufweist, wobei während dieser Dauer das Faserband auf eine Liefergeschwindigkeit beschleunigt wird. Die Dauer kann auch zwischen 1 s und 4 s betragen, wobei die Dünnstelle während dieser Dauer erzeugt wird. Beispielsweise kann die Dünnstelle in einem Anfangsabschnitt, in einem Mittelabschnitt und/oder in einem Endabschnitt der Dauer erzeugt werden, wobei die einzelnen Abschnitte die Startphase beispielsweise in gleiche Zeitdauern unterteilen. Dabei kann das Faserband auf eine maximale Liefergeschwindigkeit von beispielsweise 1200 m/min beschleunigt werden. Um das Faserband während einer derartigen Dauer auf die Liefergeschwindigkeit zu beschleunigen, werden die Streckwerkswalzen in Rotation versetzt. Die maximale Liefergeschwindigkeit entspricht dabei einer Drehzahl an einem Lieferantrieb von ca. 4500 Upm (Umdrehungen pro Minute) und ca. 9500 Upm an Ausgangszylindern der Streckwerkswalzen.It is also advantageous if the starting phase has a duration of between 0.5 s and 5 s, with the fiber sliver being accelerated to a delivery speed during this duration. The duration can also be between 1 s and 4 s, with the thin point being generated during this duration. For example, the thin point can be created in an initial section, in a middle section and/or in an end section of the duration, with the individual sections dividing the starting phase into equal time periods, for example. The sliver can be accelerated to a maximum delivery speed of 1200 m/min, for example. In order to accelerate the sliver to the delivery speed during such a period, the drafting system rollers are set in rotation. The maximum delivery speed corresponds to a speed on a delivery drive of approx. 4500 rpm (revolutions per minute) and approx. 9500 rpm at the output cylinders of the drafting system rollers.
Ebenfalls ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Haltephase eine Dauer zwischen 0,2 s und 4 s aufweist, wobei während dieser Dauer das Faserband von der Liefergeschwindigkeit abgebremst wird. Während der Haltephase werden der Lieferantrieb und die Ausgangszylinder von einer maximalen Drehzahl (ähnlich den Werten wie für die Startphase) abgebremst. Die Dünnstelle kann hier wieder in einem Anfangsabschnitt, in einem Mittelabschnitt und/oder einem Endabschnitt der Dauer erzeugt werden, wobei die einzelnen Abschnitte die Haltephase beispielsweise in gleiche Zeitdauern unterteilen.It is also advantageous if the holding phase has a duration of between 0.2 s and 4 s, with the fiber sliver being decelerated by the delivery speed during this duration. During the holding phase, the delivery drive and the output cylinders are braked from a maximum speed (similar to the values for the start phase). Here again, the thin point can be generated in an initial section, in a middle section and/or in an end section of the duration, with the individual sections dividing the holding phase into equal time periods, for example.
Einen besonderen Vorteil stellt es dar, wenn während der Haltephase die Liefergeschwindigkeit des Faserbandes kontinuierlich verringert wird. Die Liefergeschwindigkeit kann dabei beispielsweise linear und/oder parabolisch verringert werden. Wie bereits vorstehend beschrieben ist, kann die Liefergeschwindigkeit des Faserbandes durch die Rotation der Streckwerkswalzen erzeugt werden. Insbesondere kann die Liefergeschwindigkeit des Faserbandes verringert werden, indem die Drehzahl der Streckwerkswalzen reduziert wird. Ein kontinuierliches Verringern der Liefergeschwindigkeit kann also dadurch erreicht werden, dass die Drehzahl der Streckwerkswalzen kontinuierlich reduziert wird.It represents a particular advantage if the delivery speed of the sliver is continuously reduced during the holding phase. The delivery speed can be reduced linearly and/or parabolic, for example. As already described above, the delivery speed of the sliver can be generated by the rotation of the drafting system rollers. In particular, the delivery speed of the sliver can be reduced by reducing the speed of the drafting rollers. A continuous reduction in the delivery speed can therefore be achieved by continuously reducing the speed of the drafting system rollers.
Die kontinuierliche Reduktion der Drehzahl der Streckwerkswalzen kann dabei mit besonders geringem Aufwand und materialschonend durchgeführt werden. Zum einen ist natürlich ein Ort der Dünnstelle von der Liefergeschwindigkeit des Faserbandes abhängig. Der Ort der Dünnstelle ist mit einer kontinuierlichen Abnahme der Liefergeschwindigkeit einfacher nachzuverfolgen als bei einem komplizierteren Liefergeschwindigkeitsverlauf.The continuous reduction of the speed of the drafting system rollers can be carried out with particularly little effort and in a way that is gentle on the material. On the one hand, the location of the thin point naturally depends on the delivery speed of the sliver. The location of the thin spot is easier to trace with a continuous decrease in the delivery speed than with a more complicated course of the delivery speed.
Zum anderen kann die kontinuierliche Abnahme der Drehzahl von Walzen und der daraus resultierenden Abnahme der Liefergeschwindigkeit besonders einfach erreicht werden. Beispielsweise können die Streckwerkswalzen antriebslos geschaltet werden, indem ein elektrischer Strom eines Antriebs abgeschaltet wird. Durch einen Reibungswiderstand, unter anderem in Lagern der Streckwerkswalzen, wird die Drehzahl konstant verringert, so dass auch die Liefergeschwindigkeit des Faserbandes kontinuierlich verringert wird.On the other hand, the continuous decrease in the speed of the rollers and the resulting decrease in the delivery speed can be particularly easy to reach. For example, the drafting system rollers can be switched to be non-driven by switching off an electric current from a drive. Due to frictional resistance, among other things in the bearings of the drafting system rollers, the speed is constantly reduced, so that the delivery speed of the sliver is also continuously reduced.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ können die Streckwerkswalzen auch mit Hilfe einer Bremsvorrichtung abgebremst werden. Eine konstante Bremswirkung führt dabei zu einer linearen Verringerung der Drehzahl der Streckwerkswalzen und somit zu einer linearen Reduktion der Liefergeschwindigkeit des Faserbandes.In addition or as an alternative, the drafting system rollers can also be braked with the aid of a braking device. A constant braking effect leads to a linear reduction in the speed of the drafting system rollers and thus to a linear reduction in the delivery speed of the sliver.
Ein kontinuierliches Abbremsen der Streckwerkswalzen und somit eine kontinuierliche Verringerung der Liefergeschwindigkeit hat auch noch einen weiteren Vorteil. Bei einem derartigen Verfahren wird das Faserband schonend abgebremst, so dass Fehlerstellen im Faserband so gut wie möglich verhindert werden.A continuous braking of the drafting system rollers and thus a continuous reduction in the delivery speed also has another advantage. In such a method, the fiber sliver is slowed down gently, so that flaws in the fiber sliver are prevented as well as possible.
Das kontinuierliche Abbremsen der Streckwerkswalzen hat auch gegenüber einem nicht-kontinuierlichen Abbremsen Vorteile für eine Mechanik des Streckwerks. Abruptes Abbremsen kann zu einem erhöhten Verschleiß beispielsweise von Lagern, Kupplungen zwischen einem Antrieb und den Streckwerkswalzen oder zu einer Überlastung der Elektronik führen, was bei einem kontinuierlichen Abbremsen weitestgehend verhindert wird.The continuous braking of the drafting system rollers also has advantages for the mechanics of the drafting system compared to non-continuous braking. Abrupt braking can lead to increased wear, for example of bearings, couplings between a drive and the drafting system rollers, or to overloading of the electronics, which is largely prevented with continuous braking.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ bietet es einen Vorteil, wenn während der Startphase die Liefergeschwindigkeit des Faserbandes kontinuierlich erhöht wird. Das kontinuierliche Erhöhen der Liefergeschwindigkeit des Faserbandes hat im Wesentlichen die gleichen Vorteile wie beim Verringern der Liefergeschwindigkeit. Mittels des kontinuierlichen Erhöhens wird das Faserband geschont, die Mechanik der Streckwerkswalzen und/oder des Antriebs wird weniger belastet und es kann einfacher durchgeführt werden.In addition or as an alternative, it offers an advantage if the delivery speed of the fiber sliver is continuously increased during the starting phase. Increasing the delivery speed of the sliver continuously has essentially the same advantages as reducing the delivery speed. By means of the continuous increase, the sliver is protected, the mechanics of the drafting system rollers and/or the drive are less stressed and it can be carried out more easily.
Vorteilhaft ist es ferner, wenn die Dünnstelle mittels einer Erhöhung eines gegenüber dem normalen Verziehen des Faserbandes angewandten Verzugs ausgebildet wird. Ein normales Verziehen weist beispielsweise einen Faktor sechs auf. Das heißt, ein aus dem Streckwerk auslaufendes Faserband ist um das Sechsfache gegenüber einem in das Streckwerk einlaufenden Faserband gestreckt. Um die Dünnstelle auszubilden, kann der Verzug beispielsweise um 25% bis 100% erhöht werden. Bevorzugt kann aber der Verzug auch um 50% erhöht werden. Beispielsweise bedeutet die 50%ige Erhöhung des Verzugs, dass, während die Dünnstelle erzeugt wird, der Verzug kurzfristig den Faktor neun aufweist. Nach dem Erzeugen der Dünnstelle wird der Verzug wieder auf den Wert von beispielsweise sechs zurückgestellt.It is also advantageous if the thin point is formed by means of an increase in a draft applied compared to the normal drafting of the sliver. For example, normal warping is a factor of six. This means that a fiber sliver leaving the drafting system is stretched six times compared to a fiber sliver entering the drafting system. In order to form the thin point, the distortion can be increased by 25% to 100%, for example. However, the delay can preferably also be increased by 50%. For example, the 50% increase in warpage means that while the thin spot is being created, the warpage is short term by a factor of nine. After the thin point has been created, the distortion is reset to the value of six, for example.
Des Weiteren ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Erhöhung des Verzugs durch eine Verringerung einer Drehzahl eines Walzenpaars der Streckwerkswalzen gegenüber einer Drehzahl eines diesem Walzenpaar in Lieferrichtung des Faserbandes nachgeordneten Walzenpaars der Streckwerkswalzen ausgebildet wird. Der Verzug wird somit dadurch erreicht, dass eine Drehzahl eines Walzenpaars, das in Lieferrichtung zuerst mit dem Faserband Kontakt aufweist, gegenüber einem nachfolgenden Walzenpaar verringert wird.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the increase in the delay is formed by reducing the speed of a pair of rollers of the drafting system rollers compared to a speed of a pair of rollers of the drafting system rollers arranged downstream of this pair of rollers in the delivery direction of the sliver. The delay is thus achieved in that a speed of a pair of rollers, which is in contact with the fiber sliver first in the delivery direction, is reduced compared to a subsequent pair of rollers.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann auch eine Drehzahl eines in Lieferrichtung des Faserbandes weiter hinten liegenden Walzenpaars gegenüber einem weiter vorne liegenden Walzenpaar erhöht werden, um die Erhöhung des Verzugs auszubilden.In addition or as an alternative, the speed of a pair of rollers located further to the rear in the delivery direction of the sliver can also be increased compared to a pair of rollers located further forward in order to increase the draft.
Beispielsweise kann die Drehzahl zumindest eines Walzenpaares der Streckwerkswalzen gegenüber einem danach angeordneten Lieferwalzenpaar verringert werden, um die Dünnstelle zu erzeugen. Das Lieferwalzenpaar kann beispielsweise zwischen dem Drehteller und dem Faserbandtrichter angeordnet sein.For example, the speed of at least one pair of rollers of the drafting system rollers can be reduced compared to a pair of delivery rollers arranged downstream, in order to produce the thin point. The pair of delivery rollers can be arranged, for example, between the turntable and the sliver funnel.
Ebenfalls stellt es einen Vorteil dar, wenn bei einem Erkennen einer Fehlfunktion der Strecke die Haltephase ausgeführt wird, wobei zuerst während der Haltephase die Dünnstelle erzeugt und anschließend die Strecke angehalten wird. Eine Fehlfunktion kann beispielsweise ein Faserbandwickel um eine Streckwerkswalze, ein Faserbandstau o.ä. sein, die eine Funktionsfähigkeit der Strecke verringert oder sogar verhindert. Wenn die Fehlfunktion erkannt wird, wird die Haltephase ausgeführt und während der Haltephase wird die Dünnstelle erzeugt, so dass nach dem Beheben der Fehlfunktion das Faserband an der Dünnstelle getrennt und wieder weitergeliefert werden kann.It is also an advantage if the stopping phase is carried out when a malfunction of the path is detected, with the thin point first being produced during the stopping phase and then the path being stopped. A malfunction can be, for example, a sliver winding around a drafting system roller, a sliver jam or the like, which reduces or even prevents the draw frame from functioning properly. If the malfunction is detected, the holding phase is carried out and the thin point is produced during the holding phase, so that after the malfunction has been eliminated the fiber sliver can be separated at the thin point and can be supplied again.
In einem zusätzlichen Erfindungsaspekt kann die Haltephase auch wie folgt ausgeführt werden. Zwischen eine Einzugsantrieb und Liefer- und/oder Ablageantrieb kann eine elektronische Kopplung aufgehoben werden. Der Einzugsantrieb kann aufgrund der Trägheitsverhältnisse wesentlich schneller abbremsen als wenn er mit dem Lieferantrieb und/oder dem Ablageantrieb synchron laufen muss. Ein schnellstmögliches Abbremsen des Einzugsantriebs reduziert in diesen Fällen beispielsweise die Wickeldicke, da weniger Material ins Streckwerk gefördert wird als bei normalem Halten. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann auch während der Haltephase der Verzug wesentlich erhöht werden.In an additional aspect of the invention, the holding phase can also be carried out as follows. An electronic coupling can be canceled between an infeed drive and a delivery and/or deposit drive. Due to the inertia ratios, the feed drive can decelerate much more quickly than if it has to run synchronously with the delivery drive and/or the storage drive. In these cases, braking the infeed drive as quickly as possible reduces the lap thickness, for example, since less material is fed into the drafting system than with normal stopping. Additionally or alternatively, the delay can also be significantly increased during the holding phase.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn nach dem Erzeugen der Dünnstelle ein in Lieferrichtung des Faserbandes nach der Dünnstelle angeordneter Endteil des Faserbandes manuell, mechanisch und/oder mittels Druckluft entfernt wird, so dass das Faserband an der Dünnstelle getrennt wird. Dabei kann der Endteil des Faserbandes noch in der Haltephase und/oder in der Startphase entfernt werden. Wenn das Endteil entfernt ist, bleibt ein Anfang des restlichen Faserbandes zurück, der mit der Dünnstelle beginnt. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da das dünnere Faserband im Bereich der Dünnstelle einfacher zwischen dahinterliegende Walzen und/oder leichter in einen dahinterliegenden Faserbandtrichter eingefädelt werden kann. Wird also gleich während der Haltephase und/oder der Startphase das Endteil entfernt, so dass nur noch zumindest ein Teil der Dünnstelle am Anfang des Faserbandes zurückbleibt, kann ein darauffolgendes Einfädeln leichter durchgeführt werden.It is also particularly advantageous if, after the thin point has been created, an end part of the sliver arranged after the thin point in the delivery direction of the sliver is removed manually, mechanically and/or by means of compressed air, so that the sliver is separated at the thin point. The end part of the sliver can still be removed in the holding phase and/or in the starting phase. When the tail is removed, there remains a beginning of the remaining sliver beginning with the thin spot. This is advantageous because the thinner sliver in the region of the thin point can be threaded more easily between rollers located behind and/or more easily into a sliver funnel located behind. If the end part is removed during the holding phase and/or the starting phase so that only at least part of the thin area at the beginning of the sliver remains, subsequent threading can be carried out more easily.
Von Vorteil ist es, wenn ein Faserbandfehler, beispielsweise ein Faserwickel des Faserbandes um eine Streckwerkswalze, eine Fehlerstelle im Faserband oder ein Faserbandstau manuell, mechanisch und/oder mittels Druckluft entfernt wird und anschließend die Dünnstelle, insbesondere in der Startphase, erzeugt wird. Dadurch kann der Anfang des Faserbandes, der noch durch die Dünnstelle verdünnt ist, leichter während der Startphase zwischen die Kalanderwalzen und/oder in den Faserbandtrichter eingefädelt werden.It is advantageous if a sliver defect, for example a fiber winding of the sliver around a drafting roller, a defect in the sliver or a sliver jam is removed manually, mechanically and/or by means of compressed air and the thin point is then produced, particularly in the starting phase. As a result, the beginning of the sliver, which is still thinned out by the thin point, can be threaded more easily between the calender rollers and/or into the sliver funnel during the starting phase.
Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Faserband in einem Bereich der Dünnstelle getrennt wird, so dass ein Anfangsteil des Faserbandes noch verdünnt ist. Dadurch kann dieser verdünnte Anfangsteil leichter in den Faserbandtrichter und/oder zwischen ein Walzenpaar eingefädelt werden. Beispielsweise kann der Anfangsteil auch leichter wieder zwischen die Streckwerkswalzen bzw. in das Streckwerk eingefädelt werden, falls das Faserband auch dem Streckwerk herausrutscht. Der Anfangsteil ist dabei an dem Ende des Faserbandes angeordnet, das im Streckwerk angeordnet ist.It is advantageous if the sliver is separated in a region of the thin point, so that an initial part of the sliver is still thinned. As a result, this thinned initial part can be threaded more easily into the sliver funnel and/or between a pair of rollers. For example, the initial part can also be more easily threaded back between the drafting system rollers or into the drafting system if the sliver also slips out of the drafting system. The initial part is arranged at the end of the sliver, which is arranged in the drafting system.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ ist es besonders von Vorteil, wenn dieses verdünnte Anfangsteil des Faserbandes mittels einer Luftströmung, insbesondere in der Haltephase und/oder Startphase, in einen in Lieferrichtung nach den Streckwerkswalzen angeordneten Faserbandtrichter und/oder zwischen das Kalanderwalzenpaar eingefädelt wird. Dazu weist die Strecke beispielsweise eine Luftdüse auf, die im Bereich des Faserbandtrichters angeordnet ist, so dass sie die Luftströmung erzeugt, die den Anfangsteil in den Faserbandtrichter einfädelt. Die Strecke kann dabei natürlich auch mehrere Luftdüsen aufweisen, so dass beispielsweise der Anfangsteil zusätzlich oder alternativ zwischen die Streckwerkswalzen des Streckwerks oder zwischen die Kalanderwalzen eingefädelt werden kann.Additionally or alternatively, it is particularly advantageous if this thinned initial part of the sliver is threaded by means of an air flow, in particular in the holding phase and/or starting phase, into a sliver funnel arranged in the delivery direction after the drafting system rollers and/or between the pair of calender rollers. For this purpose, the draw frame has an air nozzle, for example, which is arranged in the area of the sliver funnel so that it generates the air flow that threads the initial part into the sliver funnel. Of course, the route can also have several air nozzles have, so that, for example, the beginning part can be threaded additionally or alternatively between the drafting rollers of the drafting system or between the calender rollers.
Des Weiteren ist es von Vorteil, wenn nach dem Erzeugen der Dünnstelle das Faserband oder nach dem Trennen des Faserbandes an der Dünnstelle das Ende des Anfangsteils des Faserbandes weitergeliefert wird, bis die Dünnstelle oder das Ende des Anfangsteils des Faserbandes in einem Bereich eines Drehtellers, insbesondere in einem Bereich eines Auslaufs des Drehtellers, angeordnet ist. Der Weitertransport kann auch bevorzugt während der Haltephase und/oder der Startphase durchgeführt werden. Bei einem Kannenwechsel kann das Faserband somit am Drehteller getrennt werden und das Faserband kann daraufhin unmittelbar in eine neue leere Kanne eingeführt werden.It is also advantageous if, after the thin point has been created, the fiber sliver or after the fiber sliver has been separated at the thin point, the end of the initial part of the fiber sliver is delivered further until the thin point or the end of the initial part of the fiber sliver is in a region of a turntable, in particular in an area of an outlet of the turntable. The onward transport can also preferably be carried out during the holding phase and/or the starting phase. When a can is changed, the sliver can thus be separated at the turntable and the sliver can then be introduced directly into a new empty can.
Vorteilhaft ist es ferner, wenn nach und/oder während der Startphase der Strecke das Faserband mittels Sensoren vermessen wird. Die Sensoren können dabei beispielsweise an dem Kalanderwalzenpaar angeordnet und beispielsweise als Mikrowellensensor und/oder Lichtschrankensensor ausgebildet sein.It is also advantageous if the fiber sliver is measured by sensors after and/or during the starting phase of the drawing frame. The sensors can be arranged, for example, on the pair of calender rollers and can be designed, for example, as microwave sensors and/or light barrier sensors.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ ist es vorteilhaft, wenn eine Steuerung aufgrund der Messung der Sensoren bei erfolgreicher Startphase die Strecke weiterbetreibt. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann die Steuerung bei einer fehlerhaften Startphase die Strecke, vorzugsweise nach einem erneuten Erzeugen der Dünnstelle, wieder anhalten.In addition or as an alternative, it is advantageous if a controller continues to operate the route based on the measurement of the sensors if the start phase is successful. Additionally or alternatively, in the event of an incorrect start phase, the controller can stop the segment again, preferably after the thin point has been generated again.
Vorgeschlagen wird ferner eine Strecke zum Verziehen eines Faserbandes mit einer Steuerung, mittels der zumindest Streckwerkswalzen eines Streckwerks gesteuert werden können.Also proposed is a draw frame for drafting a sliver with a controller, by means of which at least drafting system rollers of a drafting system can be controlled.
Erfindungsgemäß ist die Steuerung derart konfiguriert, dass die Strecke nach einem Verfahren gemäß einem oder mehreren der in der vorangegangenen und/oder nachfolgenden Beschreibung betrieben werden kann.According to the invention, the controller is configured in such a way that the route can be operated according to a method according to one or more of the descriptions above and/or below.

Um das Faserband 2 in die Strecke 1 einzuleiten, weist diese ein Transportwalzenpaar 8 auf. In Lieferrichtung L nachgeordnet befinden sich zwei untere Umlenkstellen 9a, 9b sowie zwei obere Umlenkstellen 10a, 10b. Nach den Umlenkstellen 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b wird das Faserband 2 in das Streckwerk 3 eingeleitet, worin das Faserband 2 verzogen wird.In order to introduce the
Das Streckwerk 3 umfasst zum Verziehen ein Eingangswalzenpaar 4, ein Zwischenwalzenpaar 5 und ein Ausgangswalzenpaar 6. Das Eingangswalzenpaar 4 weist ferner eine Unterwalze 4a und eine Oberwalze 4b, das Zwischenwalzenpaar 5 weist eine Unterwalze 5a und eine Oberwalze 5b und das Ausgangswalzenpaar 6 weist eine Unterwalze 6a und zwei Oberwalzen 6b, 6c auf. Alle hier genannten Walzen können als Streckwerkswalzen 4, 5, 6 zusammengefasst werden. Die Oberwalzen 4b, 5b, 6b, 6c weisen alle eine Drehrichtung D auf (der Einfachheit halber ist die Drehrichtung D nur an der Oberwalze 4b gezeigt). Die Unterwalzen 4a, 5a, 6a weisen alle eine der Drehrichtung D entgegengesetzte Drehrichtung auf, so dass das Faserband 2 durch die Streckwerkswalzen 4, 5, 6 weitergeleitet wird.For drafting, the
Das Faserband 2 ist zwischen den Streckwerkswalzen 4, 5, 6 des Streckwerks 3 hindurchgeführt. Das Streckwerk 3 verzieht dabei das Faserband 2 dadurch, dass eine Rotationsgeschwindigkeit der Streckwerkswalzen 4, 5, 6 in Lieferrichtung L erhöht wird.The
Beispielsweise rotiert das Eingangswalzenpaar 4 mit einer Bezugsgeschwindigkeit. Das Zwischenwalzenpaar 5 rotiert mit einer höheren Rotationsgeschwindigkeit als die Bezugsgeschwindigkeit, so dass das Faserband zwischen dem Eingangswalzenpaar 4 und dem Zwischenwalzenpaar 5 gestreckt bzw. verzogen wird.For example, the
Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann das Ausgangswalzenpaar 6 mit einer höheren Rotationsgeschwindigkeit rotieren als das Zwischenwalzenpaar 5. Dadurch wird das Faserband 2 auch durch diese beiden Walzenpaare 5, 6 verstreckt bzw. verzogen.Additionally or alternatively, the
Beispielsweise kann das Faserband 2 durch das Streckwerk 3 um einen Faktor sechs verzogen werden. Das heißt, dass das Faserband 2 bevor es in das Streckwerk 3 eintritt einen sechsmal höheren Querschnitt als nach dem Streckwerk 3 aufweist. Dadurch wird das Faserband 2 homogenisiert.For example, the
Nachdem das verzogene Faserband 2 das Streckwerk 3 verlässt, wird es durch einen Faserbandtrichter 11 geleitet und nach dem Faserbandtrichter 11 von einem Kalanderwalzenpaar 12 vermessen. Mittels eines Drehtellers 13 wird das Faserband 2 schließlich in der Kanne 14 abgelegt.After the
Zwischen dem Ausgangswalzenpaar 6 und dem Faserbandtrichter 11 ist eine Dünnstelle 7 im Faserband 2 angeordnet, wobei es an der Dünnstelle 7 getrennt werden kann. Die Dünnstelle 7 wirkt als Sollbruchstelle. Die Dünnstelle 7 ist jedoch derart beschaffen, dass das Faserband 2 samt Dünnstelle 7 weitertransportiert werden kann. Beispielsweise kann die hier gezeigte und zwischen dem Ausgangswalzenpaar 6 und dem Faserbandtrichter 11 angeordnete Dünnstelle 7 bis in einem Bereich des Drehtellers 13 weitertransportiert werden. Erst wenn die Dünnstelle 7 am Drehteller 13, insbesondere an dessen Ausgang, angeordnet ist, kann das Faserband 2 getrennt werden, um beispielsweise einen Kannenwechsel durchzuführen.A
Die Dünnstelle 7 kann dabei einen Querschnitt und eine Länge in Richtung des Faserbandes 2 aufweisen, die von einem Material und/oder der Beschaffenheit des Faserbandes 2 selbst abhängen. Beispielsweise kann die Dünnstelle 7 sehr dünn ausgebildet werden, wenn das Faserband 2 aus einem widerstandsfähigen Material ausgebildet ist. Dadurch ist immer noch die Transportfähigkeit des Faserbandes 2 gegeben. Das Faserband 2 kann aber auch leicht an der Dünnstelle 7 getrennt werden.The
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Dünnstelle 7 im Faserband 2 während einer Haltephase der Strecke 1 erzeugt. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann die Dünnstelle 7 auch während einer Startphase der Strecke 1 erzeugt werden. Wenn die Dünnstelle 7 während der Haltephase und/oder Startphase erzeugt wird, ist die Produktivität der Strecke 1 erhöht, da auf den zusätzlichen Schritt für die Erzeugung der Dünnstelle 7 verzichtet werden kann. An der Dünnstelle 7 kann noch während der Haltephase und/oder Startphase das Faserband 2 getrennt werden. Außerdem ist durch das Erzeugen der Dünnstelle 7 und dem anschließenden Stoppen der Strecke 1 die Prozesssicherheit erhöht, da nicht mehr bei laufender Strecke 1 das Faserband an der Dünnstelle 7 getrennt und weiterverarbeitet wird. Dadurch wird eine Fehlerquelle vermieden.According to the invention, the
In einem weiteren Erfindungsaspekt kann die Dünnstelle 7 auch dadurch erzeugt werden, wenn ein in Lieferrichtung L des Faserbandes 2 weiter vorneliegendes Walzenpaar abgebremst wird, wohingegen die anderen Walzenpaare nicht oder schwächer abgebremst werden. Beispielsweise kann das Transportwalzenpaar 8 in einem Drehverhalten von den anderen entkoppelt werden. Das Transportwalzenpaar 8 kann auch stärker abgebremst werden, da es einfacher aufgebaut ist. Das Transportwalzenpaar 8 bremst beispielsweise durch ein geringeres Gewicht schneller ab. Wenn das Transportwalzenpaar 8 gegenüber beispielsweise den Streckwerkswalzen 4, 5, 6 schneller selbstständig abbremst wird, wird das Faserband 2 ebenfalls stärker gestreckt, so dass die Dünnstelle 7 ausgebildet wird. Die Dünnstelle 7 wird dabei in einem Bereich zwischen dem Transportwalzenpaar 8 und dem Streckwerk 3 ausgebildet. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass dadurch weniger Faserband 2 in das Streckwerk 3 gelangt. Dabei müssen die Streckwerkswalzen 4, 5, 6 nicht abgebremst werden. Sie können auch ganz normal weiter angetrieben werden, bis die Dünnstelle 7 beispielsweise bis zur gezeigten Position oder zum Drehteller 13 weitertransportiert ist.In a further aspect of the invention, the
Um das Faserband 2 an der Dünnstelle 7 zu trennen, weist die Strecke 1 einen Faserbandtrenner 22 auf. Dieser kann mechanisch und/oder, wie in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigt ist, mittels einer Lüftdüse das Faserband 2 trennen. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel erzeugt der Faserbandtrenner 22 zwischen dem Faserbandtrichter 11 und dem Kalanderwalzenpaar 12 eine Luftströmung, die auf das dort angeordnete Faserband 2 eine Kraft ausübt. Durch die Kraft reißt das Faserband 2 an der Dünnstelle 7, wobei der eine Teil des Faserbandes 2 durch den Faserbandtrichter 11 in Richtung des Faserbandtrenners 22 und der andere Teil des Faserbandes 2 zwischen den Kalanderwalzen 12 hervor ebenfalls in Richtung des Faserbandtrenners 22 gezogen wird.In order to separate the
Der Faserbandtrenner 22 kann dabei das Faserband 2 auch mechanisch abreißen. Beispielsweise kann der Faserbandtrenner 22 einen Arm umfassen, der das Faserband 2 wegzieht und dadurch abreißt.The
Außerdem kann der Faserbandtrenner 22 auch an einem anderen Bereich in der Strecke 1 angeordnet sein. Beispielsweise kann der Faserbandtrenner 22 auch direkt im Bereich der Dünnstelle 7, im Bereich des Streckwerks 3, im Bereich zwischen Kalanderwalzenpaar 12 und Drehteller 13 und/oder im Bereich zwischen Drehteller 13 und Kanne 14 angeordnet sein. Der Faserbandtrenner 22 kann beispielsweise dort angeordnet sein, wo sich die Dünnstelle beim Trennen bevorzugt befinden soll. Eine Trennung des Faserbandes 2 ohne Faserbandtrenner 22 ist beispielsweise dadurch möglich, dass ein Kannenwechsel eingeleitet wird, wenn sich die Dünnstelle 7 im Drehteller 13 oder im Bereich zwischen Drehteller 13 und Kanne 14 befindet. Das in der Kanne befindliche Faserband 2 wird dabei schneller von dem Drehteller 13 entfernt als Faserband 2 nachgeliefert wird, wodurch das Faserband 2 an der Dünnstelle 7 reißt.In addition, the
Die Haltephase weist einen Beginn 20 und ein Ende 21 auf. Während der Haltephase wird die Dünnstelle 7 erzeugt.The holding phase has a beginning 20 and an
In dem Diagramm ist des Weiteren der Verzug 15 dargestellt, welcher zumindest abschnittsweise im Wesentlichen konstant ist, insbesondere bis auf einen Zeitpunkt, an dem eine Verzugserhöhung 18 einsetzt. Der Verzug 15 im konstanten Bereich kann beispielsweise einen Wert von sechs aufweisen.The diagram also shows the
Ferner sind in dem Diagramm die beiden Drehzahlverläufe 16 und 17 von beispielsweise zwei Walzenpaaren des Streckwerks 3 dargestellt. Im Diagramm sind die Drehzahlverläufe 16, 17 bis auf einen Zeitraum einer Drehzahlreduktion 19 deckungsgleich dargestellt. Dies bedeutet jedoch nicht zwangsläufig, dass die Drehzahlverläufe 16 und 17 auch den gleichen Wert aufweisen. Für den Drehzahlverlauf 16 kann eine andere Skala als für den Drehzahlverlauf 17 gelten.Furthermore, the two
Der Drehzahlverlauf 16 gilt jedoch für ein Walzenpaar, das in Lieferrichtung L des Faserbandes 2 (vgl.
Beispielsweise gilt der Drehzahlverlauf 16 für das Eingangswalzenpaar 4 des Streckwerks 3 und der Drehzahlverlauf 17 für das Zwischenwalzenpaar 5 oder das Ausgangswalzenpaar 6. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann der Drehzahlverlauf 17 auch für ein in
Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann der Drehzahlverlauf 16 auch für das Zwischenwalzenpaar 5 und der Drehzahlverlauf 17 für das Ausgangswalzenpaar 6 und/oder das Lieferwalzenpaar gelten.Additionally or alternatively, the
Nochmals zusätzlich oder alternativ kann der Drehzahlverlauf 16 auch für das Ausgangswalzenpaar 6 und der Drehzahlverlauf 17 für das Lieferwalzenpaar gelten.Again, additionally or alternatively, the
Um ferner den Verzug 15 auszubilden, rotiert das Ausgangswalzenpaar 6 schneller als das Zwischenwalzenpaar 5 und das Zwischenwalzenpaar 5 schneller als das Eingangswalzenpaar 4. Sind die Drehzahlen der Streckwerkswalzenpaare 4, 5, 6 konstant, ist auch der Verzug 15 des Faserbandes 2 konstant bei beispielsweise einem Faktor sechs.In order to further form the
Um die Dünnstelle 7 im Faserband 2 auszubilden, wird zumindest kurzzeitig die Verzugserhöhung 18 ausgebildet. Dazu wird, wie im Diagramm der
Wie in
Die linearen Drehzahlverläufe 16, 17 können beispielsweise erreicht werden, indem die Walzenpaare 4, 5, 6 und/oder das Lieferwalzenantrieb antriebslos geschaltet werden. Durch einen Reibungswiderstand werden die Walzen bis zum Stillstand abgebremst. Zusätzlich können die Walzen auch mit Hilfe einer Bremsvorrichtung abgebremst werden.The linear speed curves 16, 17 can be achieved, for example, by switching the roller pairs 4, 5, 6 and/or the delivery roller drive to a non-driven state. The rollers are braked to a standstill by frictional resistance. In addition, the rollers can also be slowed down with the help of a braking device.
Die Dauer der Haltephase, also die Zeitdifferenz zwischen Ende 21 und Beginn 20 der Haltephase, kann beispielsweise in einem Bereich zwischen 0,2 s und 4 s liegen. Die Haltephase kann aber auch eine Dauer zwischen 0,5 s und 2 s aufweisen.The duration of the holding phase, ie the time difference between the
Für die Startphase kann ein ähnliches Diagramm wie in
Das Faserband 2 ist an der Dünnstelle 7 getrennt, wobei nur noch ein Anfangsteil 23 des Faserbandes 2 in der Strecke 1 angeordnet ist. Das Faserband 2 ist auch derart an der Dünnstelle 7 getrennt, dass am Anfangsteil 23 noch ein Abschnitt der Dünnstelle 7 zurückgeblieben ist. Der Anfangsteil 23 beginnt somit mit einem Teil der Dünnstelle 7. Dies ist dahingehend von Vorteil, da dadurch der Anfangsteil 23 des Faserbandes 2 einfacher in den Faserbandtrichter 11 und/oder zwischen die Kalanderwalzenpaar 12 eingefädelt werden kann.The
Um den Anfangsteil 23 in den Faserbandtrichter 11 einzufädeln, weist dieses Ausführungsbeispiel einen Faserbandeinführer 24 auf. Dieser ist als Lüftdüse ausgebildet, die eine Luftströmung ausbildet und den Anfangsteil 23 durch den Faserbandtrichter 11 zu drücken. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann der Faserbandeinführer 24 auch zwischen Faserbandtrichter 11 und dem Kalanderwalzenpaar 12 angeordnet sein, um das Anfangsteil 23 dort einzufädeln. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann der Faserbandeinführer 24 auch zwischen Kalanderwalzenpaar 12 und Drehteller 13 angeordnet sein, um das Anfangsteil 23 in den Drehteller 13 einzuführen.In order to thread the
