Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for cooling a heated thread according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the threads are crimped in a texturing process.
- the thread is stretched and crimped in a so-called texturing zone.
- the thread is given a false twist, which propagates against the thread running direction.
- the thread is heated to a temperature in the region of 200 ° C.
- the plastic state of the thread material reached in this way means that the twist is impressed in the individual filaments of the thread.
- the thread is then immediately cooled to a temperature of approx. 80 ° C.
- the crimp is thus retained in the thread and effects the desired finishing.
- the thread is preferably cooled by an air-cooled cooling rail, on the surface of which the thread is guided with contact.
- cooling rails have the fundamental disadvantage that relatively long cooling sections are required in order to obtain sufficient cooling when the thread is running at higher speeds.
- Devices for cooling a heated thread are therefore known in the prior art, in which the cooling of the thread is carried out with the aid of a cooling liquid in order to be able to realize the shortest possible cooling distances.
- Such a generic device for cooling a heated thread is for example from the EP 0 403 098 A2 known.
- a cooling body with a cooling groove is provided, which has a plurality of recessed slot pockets in the groove base of the cooling groove.
- the cooling groove is coupled to a cooling liquid reservoir via a capillary, so that the cooling liquid is continuously introduced into the cooling groove.
- the heated thread is guided through the cooling groove with contact and cooled by the cooling liquid.
- the thread is then passed over a subsequent cooling rail.
- the residual coolant escaping on the outlet side of the cooling groove is collected and returned to a tank.
- the heat sink is held directly in the machine environment, so that the vapors that occur enter the environment without hindrance.
- the excess cooling liquid residues adhering to the thread are carried along by the thread and sometimes lead to undesired soiling of the surroundings and the neighboring units.
- a cooling device is for example from the JP H09 157973 A known. Furthermore, from the EP 0 879 907 A1 a texturing machine for texturing a variety of thermoplastic threads is known.
- Another aim of the invention is to make the generic device for cooling a heated thread user-friendly.
- this object is achieved in that the heat sink is encapsulated in a housing and that the housing has a threading slot for introducing the thread, which threading slot extends between a thread inlet and a thread outlet on the housing.
- the invention is characterized in that the area around the heat sink is delimited by a housing.
- a threading slot on the housing ensures that a thread can be guided into the cooling groove of the heat sink without major tools.
- the threading slot on the housing extends between a thread inlet and a thread outlet on the housing. In this respect, the openings in the housing required for guiding the thread can be limited to a minimum.
- the further development of the device according to the invention is particularly advantageous in which the threading slot is formed on a lateral housing wall above the cooling groove of the heat sink. It is common knowledge that vapors rise from the cooling groove.
- the lateral arrangement of the threading slot means that there is no direct connection between the cooling groove and the threading slot.
- the cooling groove is preferably designed with a curved groove base.
- the threading slot between the thread inlet and the thread outlet is formed with a curvature that is at least partially equivalent to the groove base. This allows a substantially constant distance between the cooling groove and the Reach threading slot, which makes it difficult for vapors to escape over the entire cooling section.
- the thread guidance within a treatment zone can be improved in particular by the further development of the invention in that an inlet thread guide is assigned to the thread inlet and an outlet thread guide is assigned to the thread outlet within the housing and in which the cooling body extends between the thread guides.
- an inlet thread guide is assigned to the thread inlet
- an outlet thread guide is assigned to the thread outlet within the housing and in which the cooling body extends between the thread guides.
- a suction opening to be formed on the housing in the area of the thread outlet, which can be connected to a suction device. In this way, the vapors occurring inside the housing can be continuously removed during operation.
- the suction opening is preferably formed in a housing base between the cooling body and the thread outlet, so that a residual cooling liquid can be removed at the same time, which is carried along by the thread from the cooling groove and discharged.
- an air opening to be formed on the housing in the area of the thread inlet flows into an environment. In this way, a continuous fresh air can be supplied.
- the thread inlet and the thread outlet as well as the threading slot preferably have minimal opening cross-sections. In this way, the entrainment of warm air through the thread can be reduced at the thread inlet.
- the metering device is preferably arranged outside the housing and connected to the cooling body in the interior of the housing by a fluid line. In this way, a defined amount of cooling liquid can be fed continuously to the cooling groove.
- the further development of the invention is particularly advantageous in which the cooling groove has a plurality of recessed groove pockets in a section of the groove base, each of which is separated from one another by a guide web in the groove base, the metering opening being formed in an upstream section of the groove base .

- the threading slot 11 is connected to a thread inlet 8 and to a thread outlet 9, as shown in FIG Fig. 2 using the example of the thread inlet 8.
- the thread inlet 8 and the thread outlet 9 are formed on the housing end walls 7.5 and 7.6 of the housing 7.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Kühlen eines erwärmten Fadens gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for cooling a heated thread according to the preamble of
Zur Veredelung von gesponnenen synthetischen Fäden ist es bekannt, dass die Fäden in einem Texturierprozess eine Kräuselung erhalten. Der Faden wird dabei in einer sogenannten Texturierzone verstreckt und gekräuselt. Zur Kräuselung erhält der Faden einen Falschdrall, der sich entgegen der Fadenlaufrichtung fortpflanzt. In diesem gedrallten Zustand wird der Faden auf eine Temperatur im Bereich von 200°C erwärmt. Der dabei erreichte plastische Zustand des Fadenmaterials führt dazu, dass sich der Drall in den einzelnen Filamenten des Fadens einprägt. Zur Fixierung dieser Fadenstruktur wird der Faden anschließend unmittelbar auf eine Temperatur von ca. 80°C abgekühlt. Somit bleibt die Kräuselung in dem Faden erhalten und bewirkt die gewünschte Veredelung. Die Kühlung des Fadens wird dabei bevorzugt durch eine luftgekühlte Kühlschiene ausgeführt, an dessen Oberfläche der Faden mit Kontakt geführt wird. Derartige Kühlschienen besitzen jedoch grundsätzlich den Nachteil, dass relativ lange Kühlstrecken erforderlich sind, um bei einem laufenden Faden mit höheren Geschwindigkeiten eine ausreichende Abkühlung zu erhalten. Im Stand der Technik sind daher Vorrichtungen zum Kühlen eines erwärmten Fadens bekannt, bei welcher die Abkühlung des Fadens mit Hilfe einer Kühlflüssigkeit durchgeführt wird, um möglichst kurze Kühlstrecken realisieren zu können.To refine spun synthetic threads, it is known that the threads are crimped in a texturing process. The thread is stretched and crimped in a so-called texturing zone. For crimping, the thread is given a false twist, which propagates against the thread running direction. In this twisted state, the thread is heated to a temperature in the region of 200 ° C. The plastic state of the thread material reached in this way means that the twist is impressed in the individual filaments of the thread. To fix this thread structure, the thread is then immediately cooled to a temperature of approx. 80 ° C. The crimp is thus retained in the thread and effects the desired finishing. The thread is preferably cooled by an air-cooled cooling rail, on the surface of which the thread is guided with contact. However, such cooling rails have the fundamental disadvantage that relatively long cooling sections are required in order to obtain sufficient cooling when the thread is running at higher speeds. Devices for cooling a heated thread are therefore known in the prior art, in which the cooling of the thread is carried out with the aid of a cooling liquid in order to be able to realize the shortest possible cooling distances.
Eine derart gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Kühlen eines erwärmten Fadens ist beispielsweise aus der
Bei der bekannten Vorrichtung ist der Kühlkörper unmittelbar in der Maschinenumgebung gehalten, so dass die auftretenden Dämpfe ungehindert in die Umgebung treten. Zudem werden die an dem Faden anhaftenden überschüssigen Kühlflüssigkeitsreste durch den Faden mitgeführt und führen zu teilweise ungewünschten Verschmutzungen der Umgebung und der benachbarten Aggregate.In the known device, the heat sink is held directly in the machine environment, so that the vapors that occur enter the environment without hindrance. In addition, the excess cooling liquid residues adhering to the thread are carried along by the thread and sometimes lead to undesired soiling of the surroundings and the neighboring units.
Eine Kühlvorrichtung ist beispielsweise aus der
Es ist nun Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Kühlen eines erwärmten Fadens bereitzustellen, mit welcher eine Belastung der Umgebung durch Dämpfe und Restkühlflüssigkeiten vermieden wird.It is now the object of the invention to provide a device of the generic type for cooling a heated thread, with which a pollution of the surroundings by vapors and residual cooling liquids is avoided.
Ein weiteres Ziel der Erfindung liegt darin, die gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Kühlen eines erwärmten Fadens bedienungsfreundlich zu gestalten.Another aim of the invention is to make the generic device for cooling a heated thread user-friendly.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Kühlkörper in einem Gehäuse gekapselt ist und dass das Gehäuse einen Einfädelschlitz zum Einführen des Fadens aufweist, welcher Einfädelschlitz sich zwischen einem Fadeneinlass und einem Fadenauslass am Gehäuse erstreckt.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the heat sink is encapsulated in a housing and that the housing has a threading slot for introducing the thread, which threading slot extends between a thread inlet and a thread outlet on the housing.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind durch die Merkmale und Merkmalskombinationen der Unteransprüche definiert.Advantageous developments of the invention are defined by the features and combinations of features in the subclaims.
Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Umgebung des Kühlkörpers durch ein Gehäuse begrenzt ist. Durch einen Einfädelschlitz an dem Gehäuse bleibt gewährleistet, dass ein Faden ohne größere Hilfsmittel in die Kühlnut des Kühlkörpers führbar ist. Der Einfädelschlitz an dem Gehäuse erstreckt sich hierbei zwischen einem Fadeneinlass und einem Fadenauslass am Gehäuse. Insoweit lassen sich die für die Fadenführung erforderlichen Öffnungen im Gehäuse auf ein Mindestmaß begrenzen.The invention is characterized in that the area around the heat sink is delimited by a housing. A threading slot on the housing ensures that a thread can be guided into the cooling groove of the heat sink without major tools. The threading slot on the housing extends between a thread inlet and a thread outlet on the housing. In this respect, the openings in the housing required for guiding the thread can be limited to a minimum.
Um das mögliche Austreten von Dämpfen aus dem Einfädelschlitz zu erschweren, ist die Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung besonders vorteilhaft, bei welcher der Einfädelschlitz an einer seitlichen Gehäusewand oberhalb der Kühlnut des Kühlkörpers ausgebildet ist. So ist allgemein bekannt, dass die Dämpfe aus der Kühlnut emporsteigen. Durch die seitliche Anordnung des Einfädelschlitzes ist eine direkte Verbindung zwischen der Kühlnut und dem Einfädelschlitz nicht gegeben.In order to make the possible escape of vapors from the threading slot more difficult, the further development of the device according to the invention is particularly advantageous in which the threading slot is formed on a lateral housing wall above the cooling groove of the heat sink. It is common knowledge that vapors rise from the cooling groove. The lateral arrangement of the threading slot means that there is no direct connection between the cooling groove and the threading slot.
Um einerseits eine definierte Fadenführung und andererseits eine intensive Benetzung im Nutgrund der Kühlnut zu erhalten, ist die Kühlnut bevorzugt mit einem gekrümmten Nutgrund ausgeführt. Hierzu ist der Einfädelschlitz zwischen dem Fadeneinlass und dem Fadenauslass mit einer zum Nutgrund zumindest teilweisen äquivalenten Krümmung ausgebildet. Damit lässt sich ein im wesentlichen konstanter Abstand zwischen der Kühlnut und dem Einfädelschlitz erreichen, der das Austreten von Dämpfen über der gesamten Kühlstrecke erschwert.In order to obtain, on the one hand, a defined thread guide and, on the other hand, intensive wetting in the groove base of the cooling groove, the cooling groove is preferably designed with a curved groove base. For this purpose, the threading slot between the thread inlet and the thread outlet is formed with a curvature that is at least partially equivalent to the groove base. This allows a substantially constant distance between the cooling groove and the Reach threading slot, which makes it difficult for vapors to escape over the entire cooling section.
Die Fadenführung innerhalb einer Behandlungszone lässt sich insbesondere durch die Weiterbildung der Erfindung verbessern, indem innerhalb des Gehäuses dem Fadeneinlass ein Einlassfadenführer und dem Fadenauslass ein Auslassfadenführer zugeordnet ist und bei welcher der Kühlkörper sich zwischen den Fadenführern erstreckt. Damit können insbesondere die Winkel, mit denen der Faden in die Kühlnut einläuft und herausgeführt wird, besonders genau und reproduzierbar eingestellt werden. Eine gesonderte Ausrichtung des Kühlkörpers innerhalb einer Textilmaschine ist nicht erforderlich.The thread guidance within a treatment zone can be improved in particular by the further development of the invention in that an inlet thread guide is assigned to the thread inlet and an outlet thread guide is assigned to the thread outlet within the housing and in which the cooling body extends between the thread guides. In this way, in particular, the angles at which the thread enters the cooling groove and is led out can be set particularly precisely and reproducibly. A separate alignment of the heat sink within a textile machine is not necessary.
Damit die Umgebung innerhalb des Gehäuses eine möglichst gleichmäßige Atmosphäre aufweist, ist desweiteren vorgesehen, dass innerhalb des Gehäuses im Bereich des Fadenauslasses eine Saugöffnung am Gehäuse ausgebildet ist, die an eine Absaugeinrichtung anschließbar ist. Damit können die innerhalb des Gehäuses auftretenden Dämpfe während des Betriebes kontinuierlich abgeführt werden.In order that the environment within the housing has an atmosphere that is as uniform as possible, provision is also made for a suction opening to be formed on the housing in the area of the thread outlet, which can be connected to a suction device. In this way, the vapors occurring inside the housing can be continuously removed during operation.
Die Saugöffnung ist dabei bevorzugt in einem Gehäuseboden zwischen dem Kühlkörper und dem Fadenauslass ausgebildet, so dass gleichzeitig eine Restkühlflüssigkeit abgeführt werden kann, die vom Faden aus der Kühlnut mitgeführt und abgegeben wird.The suction opening is preferably formed in a housing base between the cooling body and the thread outlet, so that a residual cooling liquid can be removed at the same time, which is carried along by the thread from the cooling groove and discharged.
Damit ein möglichst gleichmäßiger Luftaustausch innerhalb des Gehäuses stattfindet, ist desweiteren vorgesehen, dass innerhalb des Gehäuses im Bereich des Fadeneinlasses eine Luftöffnung am Gehäuse ausgebildet ist, die in einer Umgebung mündet. So lässt sich eine kontinuierliche Frischluft hinzuführen. Der Fadeneinlass und der Fadenauslass sowie der Einfädelschlitz weisen dabei bevorzugt minimale Öffnungsquerschnitte auf. So lässt sich am Fadeneinlass das Mitschleppen einer Warmluft durch den Faden mindern.In order that the air exchange within the housing is as uniform as possible, provision is also made for an air opening to be formed on the housing in the area of the thread inlet flows into an environment. In this way, a continuous fresh air can be supplied. The thread inlet and the thread outlet as well as the threading slot preferably have minimal opening cross-sections. In this way, the entrainment of warm air through the thread can be reduced at the thread inlet.
Die Dosiereinrichtung ist bevorzugt außerhalb des Gehäuses angeordnet und durch eine Fluidleitung mit dem Kühlkörper im Innern des Gehäuses verbunden. So kann der Kühlnut eine definierte Menge an Kühlflüssigkeit kontinuierlich zugeführt werden.The metering device is preferably arranged outside the housing and connected to the cooling body in the interior of the housing by a fluid line. In this way, a defined amount of cooling liquid can be fed continuously to the cooling groove.
Zur intensiven Kühlung des Fadens ist die Weiterbildung der Erfindung besonders vorteilhaft, bei welcher die Kühlnut in einem Abschnitt des Nutgrundes eine Mehrzahl von vertieften Nuttaschen aufweist, die jeweils durch einen Führungssteg im Nutgrund voneinander getrennt sind wobei die Dosieröffnung in einem vorgeordneten Abschnitt des Nutgrundes ausgebildet ist.For intensive cooling of the thread, the further development of the invention is particularly advantageous in which the cooling groove has a plurality of recessed groove pockets in a section of the groove base, each of which is separated from one another by a guide web in the groove base, the metering opening being formed in an upstream section of the groove base .

Die Zufuhr einer Kühlflüssigkeit wird durch eine Dosiereinrichtung 6 gewährleistet, die außerhalb des Gehäuses 7 angeordnet ist. Die Dosiereinrichtung 6 weist hierzu ein Dosiermittel 6.1 beispielsweise eine Dosierpumpe und einen Behälter 6.2 auf, der mit einer Kühlflüssigkeit gefüllt ist. Das Dosiermittel 6.1 ist über eine Fluidleitung 5 mit dem Dosierkanal 4.1 des Kühlkörpers 1 verbunden. Hierzu lässt sich beispielsweise in dem Gehäuseboden 7.3 ein Fluidanschluss ausbilden, durch welchen die Fluidleitung 5 mit dem Dosierkanal 4.1 verbunden ist.The supply of a cooling liquid is ensured by a
Im Betrieb fördert die Dosiereinrichtung 6 eine vorbestimmte Menge an Kühlflüssigkeit kontinuierlich zum Kühlkörper 1, wobei die dosierte Menge an Kühlflüssigkeit über die Dosieröffnung 4 im Nutgrund 3 der Kühlnut 2 zugeführt wird. Zur Abkühlung eines erwärmten Fadens wird der Faden bei Prozessbeginn zunächst über den Einfädelschlitz 11 ins Innere des Gehäuses 7 geführt und anschließend in den Einlassfadenführer 8.1, die Kühlnut 2 und den Auslassfadenführer 9.1 gelegt. Der Faden durchläuft die Kühlnut 2 mit Kontakt am Nutgrund 3. Dabei wird der Faden mit der Kühlflüssigkeit benetzt und gekühlt. Die dabei auftretenden Dämpfe sammeln sich im Gehäuse 7 und werden über die Saugöffnung 10 abgeführt. Hierbei wird ein kontinuierlicher Frischluftstrom über die Luftöffnung 12 in das Innere des Gehäuses 7 eingeleitet. Es stellt sich eine in Fadenlaufrichtung gleichmäßige Luftströmung ein, die die Abfuhr der Dämpfe oberhalb der Kühlnut 2 begünstigt. Darüberhinaus wird auf der Fadenauslassseite die Luftströmung genutzt, um an einem frei geführten Fadenabschnitt zwischen dem Kühlkörper 1 und dem Auslassfadenführer 9.1 lose anhaftende Kühlflüssigkeit vom Faden abzusaugen. Somit wird ein Austreten einer Restkühlflüssigkeit aus dem Gehäuse 7 vermieden. Durch die seitliche Anordnung des Einfädelschlitzes 11 am Gehäuse 7 lässt sich ebenfalls eine thermisch bedingte Ausgasung vermeiden. Die Umgebung des Gehäuses 7 bleibt somit im wesentlichen von Dämpfen und Restkühlflüssigkeit befreit.During operation, the
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Kühlen von Fäden ist daher besonders geeignet, um in Texturiermaschinen mit einer Vielzahl von Bearbeitungsstellen eingesetzt zu werden. So lassen sich eine Vielzahl von derartigen Vorrichtungen in einer Texturiermaschine einsetzen. Trotz intensiver Kühlung der Fäden durch Kühlflüssigkeiten treten keine Belastungen der Umgebung in der Texturiermaschine auf. Aufgrund des Einfädelschlitzes am Gehäuse sind schnelle und einfache Bedienvorgänge zum Anlegen des Fadens durch eine Bedienperson ausführbar.The device according to the invention for cooling threads is therefore particularly suitable for use in texturing machines with a large number of processing points. A large number of such devices can be used in a texturing machine. Despite intensive cooling of the threads by cooling fluids, there is no pollution of the environment in the texturing machine. Because of the threading slot on the housing, quick and simple operating procedures for applying the thread can be carried out by an operator.
