Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a yarn processing facility.
  • Patent Literature 1 (Published Japanese Translation of a PCT application No. 2003-526584 ) discloses an apparatus (yarn processing facility) which is configured to form a winding assembly (wound package) by processing a yarn unwound from a yarn supply package (supply bobbin in Patent Literature 1), which is formed by winding the yarn onto a yarn supplying bobbin, and winding the yarn onto a winding bobbin.
  • the yarn processing facility is arranged to be able to support two yarn supply packages for one winding bobbin.
  • An object of the present invention is to solve a problem occurring when a yarn supply package from which a yarn is unwound is suddenly replaced by a new yarn supply package.
  • a yarn processing facility includes: a yarn processor including: a yarn supplying unit capable of supplying at least one yarn; a processing unit configured to process the at least one yarn supplied from the yarn supplying unit; and a winding unit configured to form a wound package by winding the at least one yarn processed by the processing unit onto a winding bobbin; and an information management unit configured to manage information regarding the yarn processor, the yarn supplying unit including at least one yarn supply package retaining portion to and from which yarn supply packages each including a yarn are attachable and detachable, and the at least one yarn supply package retaining portion being able to uninterruptedly supply at least one yarn when a terminal portion of a yarn in one yarn supply package among the yarn supply packages is connected to a start end portion of a yarn in another yarn supply package among the yarn supply packages from which the yarn is to be unwound next to the one yarn supply package.
  • the information management unit acquires, at a given reference time point and by means of a calculation, at least one of (i) remaining amount information regarding a remaining amount of the yarn in the one of the yarn supply packages and (ii) remaining time information regarding a remaining time in which the yarn can be supplied from the one of the yarn supply packages at the reference time point.
  • the information management unit when sudden replacement information indicating execution of sudden replacement in which unwinding of a yarn from one of the yarn supply packages has started and has not ended yet and the one of the yarn supply packages is replaced with new one of the yarn supply packages is acquired, the information management unit performs a reset process of resetting the at least one of the remaining amount information and the remaining time information to a predetermined initial value.
  • At a desired time point at least one of the remaining amount information and the remaining time information is acquired in regard to the at least one yarn supply package retaining portion.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to predict, in the at least one yarn supply package retaining portion, when a yarn is run out at one yarn supply package from which the yarn is unwound. It is therefore possible to significantly improve production management.
  • one yarn supply package in which unwinding of a yarn has started and has not ended yet may be replaced with a new yarn supply package because of, e.g., a yarn quality defect.
  • the reset process is performed when the information management unit acquires the sudden replacement information. This suppresses a calculated result/calculated results of the remaining amount and/or the remaining time from being different from an actual value/values. It is therefore possible to solve a problem occurring when one yarn supply package from which a yarn is unwound is suddenly replaced with a new yarn supply package.
  • the yarn processing facility of the first aspect is arranged such that the at least one yarn supply package retaining portion includes attachment units to which the yarn supply packages are respectively attached, the yarn supplying unit further includes a switching detector capable of detecting yarn supply package switching in which unwinding of a yarn from one of the yarn supply packages ends and unwinding of a yarn from another of the yarn supply packages starts, the one of the yarn supply packages being attached to one attachment unit among the attachment units, and the another of the yarn supply packages being attached to another attachment unit among the attachment units which is different from the one attachment unit, and when the switching detector detects the yarn supply package switching, the information management unit performs the reset process for the another attachment unit.
  • the switching detector detects the yarn supply package switching
  • the yarn processing facility when one yarn supply package retained by the at least one yarn supply package retaining portion becomes empty, unwinding of a yarn from the next yarn supply package starts as a normal operation. At this time, the yarn supply package switching is detected, and the reset process is performed. However, when (i) one yarn supply package in which unwinding of a yarn has started and has not ended yet is replaced with a new yarn supply package and then (ii) unwinding of a yarn from the new yarn supply package starts, the yarn supply package switching is not detected. According to this aspect, the reset process is similarly performed also in this case when the information management unit acquires the sudden replacement information. It is therefore possible to effectively suppress a calculated result/calculated results of the remaining amount and/or the remaining time from being different from an actual value/actual values while suppressing a program from being complex.
  • the yarn processing facility of the first or second aspect is arranged such that the information management unit is able to acquire: initial amount information regarding an initial amount of a yarn in each of the yarn supply packages as information of the predetermined initial value; unwinding unit amount information regarding an amount of a yarn which is unwound from each of the yarn supply packages per unit time; and cumulative time information regarding a cumulative time in which a yarn is unwound from one of the yarn supply packages, the yarn being unwound from the one of the yarn supply packages at the reference time point, the information management unit is configured to acquire the at least one of the remaining time information and the remaining amount information by means of a calculation based on at least the initial amount information, the unwinding unit amount information, and the cumulative time information, and the information management unit is configured to reset, as the reset process, the at least one of the remaining amount information and the remaining time information to the predetermined initial value by resetting the cumulative time to a predetermined initial time.
  • the remaining amount information and/or the remaining time information can be easily acquired at a desired time point by means of the calculation based on the initial amount information, the unwinding unit amount information, and the cumulative time information.
  • the cumulative time information is reset so as to indicate the predetermined initial time. It is therefore possible to easily suppress a calculated result/calculated results of the remaining amount information and/or the remaining time information from being different from an actual value/actual values while at least one of the remaining amount information and the remaining time information is easily acquired.
  • the yarn processing facility of the first or second aspect is arranged such that the information management unit is able to acquire: initial amount information regarding an initial amount of a yarn in each of the yarn supply packages as information of the predetermined initial value; unwinding unit amount information regarding an amount of a yarn which is unwound from each of the yarn supply packages per unit time; and unwinding start time point information regarding an unwinding start time point at which unwinding of a yarn from one of the yarn supply packages starts, the yarn being unwound from the one of the yarn supply packages at the reference time point, the information management unit is configured to acquire the at least one of the remaining time information and the remaining amount information in regard to each of the yarn supply packages by means of a calculation based on at least the initial amount information, the unwinding unit amount information, and the unwinding start time point information, and the information management unit is configured to reset, as the reset process, the at least one of the remaining amount information and the remaining time information to the predetermined initial value by acquiring the unwinding start
  • the yarn processing facility of the third or fourth aspect is arranged such that the information management unit is configured to acquire: information of initial weight and fineness of a yarn in each of the yarn supply packages as the initial amount information; and information of an unwinding speed indicating length of a yarn which is unwound from each of the yarn supply packages per the unit time as the unwinding unit amount information.

  • the unwinding speed has a dimension of length.
  • calculations regarding the remaining amount information and/or the remaining time information cannot be performed based only on the initial weight, the unwinding speed, and the cumulative time (or unwinding start time point) because the units cannot be unified.
  • information of the fineness (weight per unit length) that can be acquired in advance is also acquired as the initial amount information. This arrangement makes it easy to unify the units in the calculations of the remaining amount information and/or the remaining time information.
  • the yarn processing facility of any one of the first to fifth aspects is arranged such that the yarn processor is structured so that a yarn is unwound from one of the yarn supply packages in at least part of yarn threading time in which yarn threading is performed for the yarn processor after the sudden replacement is performed, and the yarn supplying unit further includes an unwinding detector capable of detecting whether the yarn is unwound from the one of the yarn supply packages.
  • the information management unit in order to acquire the at least one of the remaining amount information and the remaining time information, is configured to use information of detection time in which unwinding of the yarn from the one of the yarn supply packages is detected by the unwinding detector. Furthermore, in this yarn processing facility, the at least part of the yarn threading time is included in the detection time.
  • the yarn threading time may be excluded from the detection time.
  • a process performed by the information management unit may be complex because information regarding completion of the yarn threading is required.
