- This prediction result acquirable by the aspect of the invention can be used for managing the operations of the facility related to the formation of the wound package. For example, it is possible to control the operation of the winding unit so that the mixture of a yarn connecting portion into a wound package yarn connecting portion is avoided. Furthermore, it is possible to estimate a location where a yarn connecting portion is mixed in a wound package.
- the yarn processing facility of the ninth aspect is arranged such that the information management unit manages a timing to end a winding process of winding the yarn onto the predetermined winding bobbin, in accordance with a timing at which it is predicted that the yarn connecting portion is to be mixed into the predetermined wound package.

- the machine controller 5 may determine a timing to end the winding based on a detection result of the sensor.
- the machine controller 5 determines whether yarn supply package switching, i.e., switching of the yarn supply package Ps supplying the yarn Y has occurred. For example, in FIG. 5(a) and FIG. 5(b) , a matter that the yarn supply package Ps1 becomes empty and the yarn Y is unwound first from the yarn supply package Ps2 is the yarn supply package switching.

At the time t1, an empty yarn supply package Ps1 is still attached to the first attachment unit 22.
- the unwinding start time (not illustrated) of the yarn supply package Ps1 is a lot earlier than the unwinding start time of the yarn supply package Ps2.
- the remaining amount of the yarn supply package Ps1 at the time t1 is less than zero when it is calculated in the same manner as the remaining amount of the yarn supply package Ps2.
- the information management unit 110 sets the remaining amount of the yarn supply package Ps1 at the time t1 to be zero.

- a new yarn supply package Ps3 has been attached to the first attachment unit 22.
- unwinding of the yarn Y from the yarn supply package Ps3 has not started.
- the remaining amount in the yarn supply package Ps3 at the time t2 is WF.
- the unit of the remaining amount may not be weight.
- the remaining amount information for example, information of the length of the yarn Y remaining in the yarn supply package Ps may be acquired.
- information of a percentage of the remaining weight of the yarn Y in the yarn supply package Ps i.e., information of the ratio of the remaining weight to the initial weight may be acquired.
- the remaining time tr1 can be calculated by the equation below (remaining time information) with the use of Wr1.
- tr 1 Wr 1 / A ⁇ V ⁇ F
- tr1 may be calculated by the equation below without using Wr1.
- tr 1 WF ⁇ A ⁇ V ⁇ F ⁇ t 1 ⁇ tb 1 / A ⁇ V ⁇ F
- the remaining time in which the yarn Y can be supplied from the yarn supply package Ps1 is zero at the time t1. This is because, as described above, the remaining amount in the yarn supply package Ps1 is zero at the time t1.
- the information management unit 110 is able to acquire later-described predicted original yarn disappearance time information by using the remaining time information.
- the remaining time tr2 can be calculated based on the remaining weight Wr2 in the same manner as above.
- the remaining time tr2 can be calculated by using the initial weight WF (see FIG. 5(b) ).
- the information management unit 110 is able to estimate a time at which unwinding of the yarn Y from the yarn supply package Ps from which the yarn Y is being unwound at the reference time ends. For example, at the time t1, the yarn Y is being unwound from the yarn supply package Ps2.
- the information management unit 110 acquires information of a time calculated by adding the remaining time tr1 to the time t1, as predicted unwinding end time information.
- the information management unit 110 may calculate the predicted unwinding end time based on a predetermined mathematical expression by using basic information.
- the predicted unwinding end time is substantially identical with an actual unwinding end time (time tb2 described above) regarding the yarn supply package Ps2.
- the predicted unwinding end time is substantially identical with an actual unwinding start time (ta3 described above) of the yarn supply package Ps3 from which the yarn Y is to be unwound next to the yarn supply package Ps2. Therefore, when the unwinding start time of a given yarn supply package Ps is known, the information management unit 110 is able to estimate (predict) the unwinding start time of the yarn supply package Ps from which the yarn Y is to be unwound next to that package Ps. For example, the information management unit 110 may acquire unwinding start time information of the yarn supply package Ps3 by calculation, based on the initial amount information, the unwinding unit amount information, and the unwinding start time information regarding the yarn supply package Ps2.
- the winding bobbin Bw2 (see FIG. 5(c) ) is taken as an example.
- time ts2 the yarn Y is supplied from the yarn supply package Ps1 attached to the first attachment unit 22. Meanwhile, the yarn supply package Ps2 has been attached to the second attachment unit 23.
- the terminal portion of the yarn Y in the yarn supply package Ps1 is tied (connected) to the start end portion of the yarn Y in the yarn supply package Ps2, and hence a node K is formed.
- the node K is provided at a predetermined position. Information indicating that the node K is provided at the predetermined position is input to the machine controller 5 in advance by the operator.
- the information management unit 110 acquires the remaining amount of the yarn Y in the yarn supply package Ps1 (remaining weight W1; see FIG. 5(a) ) at the time ts2 (winding start time) and stores the acquired information in the machine storage unit 5c, for example.
- the information management unit 110 regularly updates the remaining amount information, the remaining time information, and the predicted unwinding end time information that are described above. Furthermore, the information management unit 110 regularly updates later-described predicted original yarn disappearance time information. Furthermore, the information management unit 110 determines whether the node K is mixed, whether the yarn remaining amount is decreased, and whether the formation of a node has been done. A specific method of updating each set of information and details of each determination will be described later.
- the yarn supply package switching occurs during the winding process.
- the state in which the yarn Y is being unwound from the yarn supply package Ps1 is switched to the state in which the yarn Y is being unwound from the yarn supply package Ps2 (see FIG. 5(a) to FIG. 5(c) ).
- the information management unit 110 determines whether the yarn supply package switching has occurred, based on a detection result of the yarn detection sensor 24.
- the yarn supply package Ps1 is equivalent to the predetermined yarn supply package of the present invention.
- the yarn supply package Ps2 is equivalent to a reserve yarn supply package of the present invention.
- the information management unit 110 acquires the remaining amount information at the winding end time of the yarn supply package Ps2 which supplied the yarn Y until the winding end time. Lastly, the information management unit 110 stores, in the machine storage unit 5c, for example, information of yarn layers supplied from the yarn supply packages Ps1 and Ps2 to the winding bobbin Bw2 (i.e., yarn layer information). Specifically, the yarn layer information may be information of weight. In this example, parts of the yarn Y having the remaining weight of 0 to W1 have been supplied to the winding bobbin Bw2 from the yarn supply package Ps1 (see FIG. 5(a) to FIG. 5(c) ).
- the information management unit 110 is able to acquire the yarn layer information indicating to which part of the yarn layers of the yarn supply packages Ps suppling the yarn Y to a predetermined winding bobbin Bw the yarn Y wound onto the predetermined winding bobbin Bw belonged.
- the winding start time and the winding end time are equivalent to the reference time of the present invention.
- the information management unit 110 regularly updates the total time (cumulative time) of the unwinding of the yarn Y from the yarn supply package Ps from which the yarn Y is being supplied.
- the time to be updated is equivalent to the reference time of the present invention. From which yarn supply package Ps the yarn Y is being unwound at the reference time (i.e., which yarn supply package Ps is the predetermined yarn supply package) is determined at any time based on the reference time and the unwinding start time information regarding each yarn supply package Ps.
- the cumulative time is also updated while the automatic doffer 10 is performing the winding bobbin replacement. This is because, as described above, the yarn Y is being supplied to the winding device 19 side (i.e., the yarn Y is being unwound from the yarn supply package Ps) while the winding bobbin replacement is being performed, too.
- the information management unit 110 calculates (updates) the remaining amount, the remaining time, the predicted unwinding end time, and the predicted original yarn disappearance time, based on the basic information and the updated cumulative time. To be more specific, the information management unit 110 calculates the remaining amount information and the remaining time information regarding both yarn supply packages Ps attached to the two package attachment units 21. The information management unit 110 calculates a predicted unwinding end time of a yarn supply package Ps from which the yarn Y is being unwound.
- the information management unit 110 calculates a predicted original yarn disappearance time.
- the predicted original yarn disappearance time is a time at which all of the yarn supply packages Ps attached to a given yarn supply package retaining portion 20 (predetermined yarn supply package retaining portion 20) are estimated to become empty.
- the predicted original yarn disappearance time is acquired by adding the remaining times regarding the both yarn supply packages Ps to the reference time no matter whether the yarns Y in the two yarn supply packages Ps attached to the yarn supply package retaining portion 20 are tied with each other.
- the predicted original yarn disappearance time regarding a predetermined yarn supply package retaining portion 20 is acquired based on the remaining time information of all yarn supply packages Ps attached to the predetermined yarn supply package retaining portion 20.
- the remaining time during which the yarn Y can be unwound from the yarn supply package Ps1 attached to the first attachment unit 22 is zero.
- the remaining time in which the yarn Y can be unwound from the yarn supply package Ps2 attached to the second attachment unit 23 is tr1 described above.
- the information management unit 110 is able to acquire information of a time acquired by adding the remaining time tr1 to the time t1, as predicted original yarn disappearance time information predicted at the time t1.
- the remaining time regarding the yarn supply package Ps3 attached to the first attachment unit 22 is tF.
- the remaining time regarding the yarn supply package Ps2 attached to the second attachment unit 23 is tr2 as described above.
- the information management unit 110 is able to acquire information of a time calculated by adding the remaining time tF and the remaining time tr2 to the time t2, as predicted original yarn disappearance time information at the time t2.
- the information management unit 110 determines whether it is predicted that a node K will be mixed into a wound package Pw formed on a winding bobbin Bw for which a winding process is performed. To be more specific, one of the following three processes is performed. For example, when a predicted unwinding end time exists between a winding start time and a planned winding end time, it is predicted that a node K will be mixed into a wound package Pw.
- the information management unit 110 determines whether the current time will reach the predicted unwinding end time.
- the term “reach” indicates that the predicted unwinding end time will come after a predetermined time elapses from the current time. Alternatively, the term “reach” may indicate that the predicted unwinding end time has just come. Alternatively, the information management unit 110 may determine whether the current time reaches the predicted unwinding end time by determining whether the yarn supply package switching has occurred based on a detection result of the above-described yarn detection sensor 24.
- the information management unit 110 executes, for example, a process described below (mixture avoidance process of avoiding mixture of a node K; hereinafter, this process will be simply referred to as a mixture avoidance process), so as to avoid mixture of the node K into the wound package Pw.
- the machine controller 5 causes the automatic doffer 10 to cut the yarn Y by using the cutter immediately before a time at which a node K is predicted to reach the winding device 19 (i.e., a timing earlier by a predetermined duration of time than the predicted time).
- the timing to end the winding process in accordance with the timing at which it is predicted that the node K will be mixed. In this way, the mixture of the node K into the wound package Pw is avoided.
- the mixture avoidance process is performed for a winding bobbin Bw4
- the winding process of winding the yarn Y onto the winding bobbin Bw4 ends earlier than usual.
- the winding end time regarding the winding bobbin Bw4 is earlier than the above-described time te4 (see FIG.
- the winding start time regarding the next winding bobbin Bw5 (see the time ts5a in FIG. 9 ) is earlier than the above-described ts5 (see FIG. 5(c) ), too.
- the node K locates at the outermost yarn layer or neighboring layers (i.e., an outer layer portion) in the radial direction of the wound package Pw. It is therefore possible to easily remove the node K mixed into the wound package Pw.
- a node K may be mixed in the innermost layer or its neighboring yarn layers (i.e., an inner layer portion) in the radial direction of a wound package Pw which is to be formed by winding the yarn Y to the next winding bobbin Bw. In such a case, it is difficult to remove the node K from that wound package Pw.
- the information management unit 110 may cause the automatic doffer 10 to cut the yarn Y by using the cutter at a time at which it is estimated that the node K reaches the winding device 19 or immediately after that time (i.e., after a predetermined period of time elapses from that time).
- the formation of that wound package Pw may be terminated.
- the information management unit 110 determines whether a package replacement instruction time has come.
- the package replacement instruction time is earlier than a predicted original yarn disappearance time of a yarn supply package retaining portion 20 of a spindle 9 by a predetermined period of time (e.g., first time).
- the information management unit 110 outputs a command signal to cause the creel robot 102 to perform yarn supply package replacement.
- the information management unit 110 manages the operation of the creel robot 102 based on information of predicted original yarn disappearance times regarding plural yarn supply package retaining portions 20. To be more specific, the information management unit 110 manages the operation of the creel robot 102 so that yarn supply package replacement is completed at each yarn supply package retaining portion 20 before a predicted original yarn disappearance time of each yarn supply package retaining portion 20 comes.
- the information management unit 110 generates a schedule for replenishing yarn supply packages Ps, and controls the operation of the creel robot 102 based on the generated schedule.
- the information management unit 110 determines a package replacement instruction time in consideration of various conditions such as the type and number of yarn supply packages Ps to be replenished, places where the packages are replenished, and the operation route of the creel robot 102. This arrangement makes it possible to perform the yarn supply package replacement at a timing suitable for each yarn supply package retaining portion 20.
- the information management unit 110 may perform yarn supply package replacement after waiting for a timing suitable for performing the yarn supply package replacement.
- the package attachment unit 21 is arranged so that the distance between two package attachment units 21 is intentionally narrow in order to downsize the facility, yarn supply packages Ps may interfere with each other when the two yarn supply packages Ps are simultaneously attached to the package attachment units 21.
- yarn supply packages Ps may interfere with each other when the two yarn supply packages Ps are simultaneously attached to the package attachment units 21.
- only after one yarn supply package Ps is attached to one of the two package attachment units 21 and a certain amount of the yarn Y is unwound from the one yarn supply package Ps it becomes possible to attach the other yarn supply package Ps to the other one of the two package attachment units 21.
- the above-described control is performed, it is possible to wait for an instruction of yarn supply package replacement until it becomes possible to attach a new yarn supply package Ps.
- the tying oversight indicates a state in which, after the operator newly attaches a yarn supply package Ps to the yarn supply package retaining portion 20, the new yarn supply package Ps is left without a tying operation.
- the determination is done to prompt the operator to perform the tying operation.
- the information management unit 110 determines whether the remaining time regarding a yarn supply package Ps (predetermined yarn supply package) from which the yarn Y is being unwound in that spindle 9 is not longer than a predetermined period of time (e.g., a second time).
- a predetermined period of time e.g., a second time.
- the information management unit 110 is equivalent to a connection information acquisition unit of the present invention.
- the machine controller 5 is equivalent to a second output controller of the present invention.
- the machine output unit 5b is equivalent to a second output unit of the present invention.
- the output of the information may be done by the management output unit 101b of the management device 101.
- the management device 101 is equivalent to the second output controller of the present invention and the management output unit 101b is equivalent to the second output unit of the present invention.
- the information management unit 110 correctly and easily acquire the initial amount information, the unwinding unit amount information, an the unwinding start time information.
- the information management unit 110 By performing a calculation using these sets of information, it is possible to, for example, precisely predict a timing of the end of the unwinding of the yarn Y from the yarn supply package Ps and to regularly estimate the progress of the unwinding of the yarn Y. It is therefore possible to provide a novel yarn processing facility 100 which is able to significantly improve production management. Furthermore, even when the remaining amount of the yarn Y after part of the yarn Y has been unwound from the yarn supply package Ps cannot be directly measured, it is possible to correctly acquire information regarding the management of the yarn processing facility at a desired timing.
- the information management unit 110 acquires information of the initial weight and fineness of the yarn Y included in each yarn supply package Ps as initial amount information, and acquire information of unwinding speed as unwinding unit amount information. This makes it easy to unify the units in calculations of time and/or remaining amount. As such, sets of information that are easily acquired and easily unified in terms of the units can be used for various calculations.
- the information management unit 110 is able to predict an unwinding end time and regularly estimate a remaining time and/or a remaining amount. Such information that is predicted and/or estimated can be used for managing various operations performed until the end of the unwinding of the yarn Y from the yarn supply package Ps (e.g., preparation of a schedule of replacement of the yarn supply package Ps).
- the information management unit 110 Based on remaining time information regarding all yarn supply packages Ps attached to a predetermined yarn supply package retaining portion 20, the information management unit 110 acquires information of a predicted original yarn disappearance time at which all yarn supply packages Ps attached to the predetermined yarn supply package retaining portion 20 become empty. By utilizing the information of the predicted original yarn disappearance time, advanced control regarding operations such as replacement of yarn supply packages Ps or advanced facility operation management is realized.
- the information management unit 110 manages the operation of the creel robot 102 so that yarn supply package replacement is completed at each yarn supply package retaining portion 20 before a predicted original yarn disappearance time of each yarn supply package retaining portion 20 comes. On this account, in an arrangement in which plural yarn supply package retaining portions 20 are provided, it is possible to prevent the shortage of yarn supply packages Ps at each yarn supply package retaining portion 20.
- the machine controller 5 causes the machine output unit 5b to output information prompting an operator, etc. to perform the tying operation, based on the information acquired by the information management unit 110. This makes it possible to prevent the operator, etc. from forgetting to perform the tying operation.
- the information management unit 110 predicts that a node K will be mixed into a predetermined wound package Pw. This prediction result can be used for managing the operations of the facility related to the formation of the wound package Pw. For example, it is possible to control the operation of the winding unit 4 so that the mixture of a node K into a wound package Pw is avoided.
- the information management unit 110 controls a timing to end the winding process of winding a yarn onto a predetermined winding bobbin Bw in accordance with a timing at which it is predicted that a node K will be mixed into a predetermined wound package Pw. In this way, the mixture of the node K into the wound package Pw is avoided.
- the yarn connecting portion can be easily removed from the wound package. The qualities of the wound packages Pw are therefore uniformized.
- the information management unit 110 is able to acquire the yarn layer information indicating to which part of the yarn layers of the yarn supply package Ps suppling the yarn Y to a predetermined winding bobbin Bw the yarn Y wound onto the predetermined winding bobbin Bw belonged. It is therefore possible to associate information of the yarn Y in the wound package Pw with yarn layer information of the yarn Y included in the yarn supply package Ps. Such information is useful for, for example, quality management of wound packages Pw.
