Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a suction tube for a device for compressing drafted slivers in a spinning machine.
  • Suction pipes for compression devices on drafting systems for spinning machines are each arranged subsequent to the output rollers of such a drafting system.
  • a variety of suction tubes for use in compression devices in spinning machines are known in the prior art.
  • Generic devices are known in the prior art and are always used when a fiber sliver has to be compressed in a spinning machine after a stretching process.
  • the intake manifolds are at least partially wrapped around by a perforated strap or a woven sieve strap.
  • a corresponding device is described, for example, in DE 102 61 785 A1 .
  • the suction tube disclosed therein is partially wrapped around by an air-permeable conveyor belt and has a suction slot on a side facing a sliver to be compressed.
  • the suction tube is held between two spinning positions arranged next to one another and has a suction slot for each spinning position.
  • a disadvantage of the disclosed device is that the shape of the suction tube means that additional rollers are required to drive the air-permeable means of transport. If one-sided wear occurs or the suction slot of the suction pipe needs to be changed, the suction pipe for both spinning positions must also be exchanged together.
  • the DE 10 2004 037 492 A1 discloses a suction device with a stationary sliding surface, which serves as a sliding guide for a transport apron, which transports a fiber structure to be compressed through a compression zone.
  • the suction device extends over almost the entire space between two pairs of rollers of the drafting system. A compression of the fiber structure in the compression zone can be partially lost again until it reaches the next nip point at the pair of output rollers.
  • a guide for a fibrous structure is disclosed. This guide is located above an intake manifold. Information on the configuration of the intake manifold itself cannot be found in this disclosure.
  • a branched suction system which has a suction plate and a cover plate arranged above it.
  • the suction plate, and in particular its suction slot, is far removed from a nip point of a pair of rollers of the drafting system, as a result of which compression of the fiber structure can also be lost.
  • the object of the present invention is to further develop known devices and to create a suction tube that is simple in design and can be used at individual spinning stations, which is characterized by simple attachment to existing drafting systems without the need for additional rollers. It is also the object of the present invention to create a compacting device with a suction pipe that is simple in construction and can be used at individual spinning stations, which is characterized by a uniform reduction in the hairiness of the fiber structure.
  • a suction tube for a compression device in a drafting system of a spinning machine and a compression device with a suction tube having the features of the independent patent claim.
  • the intake manifold has a longitudinal axis and a length.
  • An inner space connected to a suction opening and a suction port and a fixing portion are provided.
  • the length of the suction tube is 20 mm to 50 mm and the suction tube has a cross-section arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis with a flat and/or curved guide surface.
  • the suction pipe is in the form of a polygon, or a circle, or an oval, or a Triangular or kidney shaped.
  • the suction opening is arranged in the guide surface of the suction pipe, the curvature of the guide surface being less than 0.04 1/mm and an extension of the guide surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis being 5 mm to 15 mm.
  • This construction of the suction tube makes it possible to introduce the suction tube as deeply as possible into a gusset between the exit rollers of a drafting system. As a result, a fiber bundling zone delimited by the guide surface of the suction tube can be made shorter compared to the prior art, and thus a loss of stretching of the fiber structure to be compressed in the fiber bundling zone is avoided.
  • the guide surface is delimited on both sides by an arc with a radius of 1.5 mm to 5 mm, viewed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
  • this allows the suction tube to be built close to the output rollers and on the opposite side, the compacted fiber structure is guided as short as possible after leaving the fiber bundling zone before it is transferred to a subsequent spinning device. This also minimizes the risk of the fiber structure being displaced laterally after compression and thus damage to the previously bundled fiber structure.
  • Preferred shapes of the cross section of the draft tube are crescent-shaped or triangular or kidney-shaped.
  • an enveloping circle which encloses a cross section arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, is smaller than 15 mm, preferably smaller than 10 mm. Due to the low overall height of the suction tube, it is possible to guide or tension or deflect an air-permeable conveyor belt wrapped around the suction tube is not limited by the geometry of the intake manifold. In contrast to this, with a kidney shape of the suction pipe there is the possibility of guiding and tensioning the conveyor belt through the suction pipe alone. No additional components such as deflection rollers or tension rollers are required.
  • the fastening section and the suction connection are advantageously provided at a first end of the suction tube. This has the advantage that a connection to a vacuum system can be combined with a holder for the intake manifold.
  • the suction opening arranged in the guide surface in the suction pipe has a length or a diameter of less than 5 mm. This means that compressed air consumption can be kept low and a sufficiently high suction flow for fiber bundling can be achieved.
  • the suction opening is preferably designed in the form of a slit, the slit having a width of 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm and a length of 2.0 mm to 5.0 mm. Furthermore, the slot is arranged at an angle of 70° to 110° to the longitudinal axis of the intake manifold. By forming a slit instead of a round cross-section, a suction effect is achieved which acts on the fiber structure longer as it passes through the fiber bundling zone. The proposed arrangement of the slot achieves maximum bundling of the fiber assembly.
  • the fastening section has a cylindrical cross-section and then extends to the guide surface in the direction of the longitudinal axis.
  • This type of attachment has the advantage that the position of the suction pipe in the holder can be adjusted.
  • the attachment portion may be provided with a projection for attachment of the intake manifold in a holder. This would enable the intake manifold to be fastened in the manner of a clip to a corresponding holder. Exact positioning and easy replacement of the intake manifold are achieved with a clip-like attachment.
  • two intake manifolds arranged in mirror image have a common longitudinal axis and the fastening sections directed towards one another are connected to one another. This makes it possible to accommodate the intake manifolds for two opposing compression devices in a common holder.
  • the two mirror-inverted intake manifolds are made in one piece.
  • a device for the pneumatic compression of a drafted fiber structure in a drafting system of a spinning machine is proposed with a pair of exit rollers consisting of an exit upper roller and an exit lower roller and a screen element.
  • the device has a suction pipe according to the above description, which can be sucked in and around which a sieve element can be at least partially wrapped.
  • the suction pipe is arranged next to the pair of output rollers.
  • the suction tube is at least partially wrapped around by the screen element, with a clamping point being formed by the screen element with the output top roller in the region of the guide surface.
  • the fiber bundle emerging from the pair of output rollers hits the screen element shortly before reaching the third nip point and is guided on it to the third nip point. In this way, the fiber bundle is guided through the screen element over the guide surface and bundled by the influence of an air flow.
  • the sieve element runs around the suction pipe, which has a suction opening in the area of the guide surface. The ambient air sucked in through the suction opening means that individual fibers protruding from the fiber structure are moved to the suction opening and the fiber structure is thus bundled.
  • the nip also drives the screen element through the output top roller.
  • the frictional drive of the screen element creates a slight slip, so that the screen element has a lower speed than the output roller pair. This circumstance also contributes to the fact that a bundling of the fiber assembly, or the integration of protruding fiber ends in the fiber assembly, becomes possible.
  • FIG 1 shows a schematic representation of a longitudinal section of an intake manifold 1 according to the invention.
  • the interior space 5 is connected to the environment via a suction opening 3 .
  • a suction port 4 is provided in the attachment section 6 .
  • the interior space 5 of the intake manifold 1 can be connected to a vacuum source (not shown) via the intake connection 4 .

  • a cross section of the suction pipe 1 in the form of a polygon, an oval and a triangle as well as a cross section of a suction pipe 1 with a kidney-shaped cross section are shown.
  • All suction pipes 1 have a suction opening 3 which is arranged in a region of a guide surface 7 .
  • the suction opening 3 connects an interior 5 of the suction pipe 1 with the environment.
  • the guide surface 7 has an extent C.
  • the guide surfaces 7 are delimited on both sides with an arc with a radius R. Starting from the guide surface 7, the width extent B is indicated in each of the cross sections.
  • the different cross sections differ in the direction of this width extension B.
  • An enveloping circle H enclosing the intake manifold 1 in the area of the guide surface 7 is shown for the polygonal, oval and triangular shape.
  • the intake manifolds 1 with a cross section in the form of a polygon, an oval or a triangle are designed as hollow bodies with a substantially constant wall thickness.
  • the intake manifold 1 with the kidney-shaped cross section has an interior space 5 only in the area of the guide surface 7 .
  • the entire intake manifold 1 could also be designed as a hollow body.
  • figure 3 shows a schematic representation of a longitudinal section of an embodiment according to the invention of a compression device in a drafting system.
  • a fiber structure 13 is passed through the output roller pair 9, consisting of an output upper roller 10 and an output lower roller 11 from the drafting system.
  • a suction pipe 1 is arranged downstream of the pair of output rollers 9 .
  • the intake manifold 1 is at least partially wrapped around by a sieve element 12 .
