Definitions

  • FIG. 3 APPARATUS FOR THE HEATING OF TRAVELLING THREAD OR TAPE-SHAPED PR CTS ON A TRANSPORT ROLLER Filed 7, 1963 FIG. 3
  • Such a transport roller is especially adapted for use as a draw godet of a drawtwister for warm-drawing threadlike linear polymerization or polycondensation products.
  • thread-like products is meant yarns, tapes, ribbons, foils, and the like.
  • Known heated transport rollers of this type are subject to various disadvantages.
  • the roller in one known construction, wherein the roller is heated internally by hot combustion gases, the roller necessarily must have a relatively large diameter.
  • Such a roller cannot readily be operated at high speeds, and the construction of the bearing assembly for the roller and the control of gas to the interior of the roller involve special problems.
  • Such an apparatus has found use only where a large number of .threads or thread wraps are to be placed upon a large,
  • a further object of this invention is to provide improved electromagnetic heating means for a transport roller wherein stationary electromagnets effectively form a rotary magnetic field.
  • a still further object of this invention is to provide a transport roller with improved heating means including electromagnets supplied with balanced polyphase current of regulatable frequency.
  • a transport roller having a material-supporting outer cylindrical casing is driven by an axial drive shaft.
  • a plurality of stationary electromagnets are essentially symmetrically positioned within the outer casing of the roller so that at least a portion of the magnetic flux from the electromagnets passes within a portion of the outer casing of the roller.
  • a balanced polyphase current is supplied to the electromagnets, and regulator means are provided to vary the frequency of the current supplied to the electromagnets.
  • Hysteresis losses are generally contributed to molecular friction induced within the material
  • the conductive part of the transport roller is copper or a material having similar properties
  • the heat produced is substantially due to eddy currents or voltages induced in the material by the magnetic field.
  • the heat evolved results from a combination of hysteresis and eddy current losses.
  • FIGURE 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through a transport roller in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a cross-sectional view taken substantially along the line II-II of FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is a somewhat diagrammatic view showing apparatus for supplying current to the electromagnets within the roller of FIGURE 1.
  • reference numeral 1 designates a transport roller or draw godet of a drawtwister.
  • roller 1 is driven by an axially located shaft 2 of a synchronous electric motor 3 of which only a part thereof is illustrated in FIGURE 1.
  • shaft 2 is provided with a tapered portion 4 which is received within a conical hub 6 of roller 1.
  • the tapered portion 4 terminates in a threaded portion which receives a nut for securing shaft 2 and roller 1 in driving engagement.
  • the roller 1 is provided with an outwardly opening central recess to receive nut 5.
  • a thin layer of 'a suitable heat-insulating material 7 is provided between the complementary conicalsurfaces of the tapered portion 4 and the conical hub 6 to minimize heat transfer from roller 1 to shaft 2.
  • Roller 1 has a substantially cylindrical material-suppotringouter casing which is provided at one end with "a flange 8.
  • the flange 8 serves to prevent the threadlike products from slipping off the roller and becoming fouled in the vicinity of the motor 3. It Will be appreciated that similar restraining means could be provided at the other end of roller 1 if desired.
  • a generally cylindrical support member 10 is mounted coaxially around shaft 2 and hub 6.
  • the support member '10 is rigidly secured to the electric motor 3 by a circumferential flange 9 and socket head screws 11 or other suitable securing means.
  • cylindrical support member 10 is provided with an en- 'larged body portion 12 having three longitudinally extending grooves.
  • An electromagnet 13 is cemented or otherwise rigidly positioned within each groove. As clearly shown in FIGURE 2, the poles of electromagnets 13 ex- Qtendv essentially'radially with respect to shaft 2 and are symmetrically arranged at an angle of 120 relative to each other.
  • Each electromagnet includes a magnetizing coil 15. V
  • a metallic sleeve 14 is clamped or otherwise integrally secured to the inside surface of the cylindrical outer serve to adjust the stator field of the polyphase current generator. Also, while the coils of the electromagnets have been described as wired in a delta connection, it is apparent that'the coils could also be wired in a Y connection.
  • Frequency regulation may also be effected by other A known methodsrfor example, by pole changing Where the casing of roller 1.
  • sleeve 14 is made of electrically pure copper having a thickness of 2 mm, and is separated from the adjacent magnetic poles by a clearance of 0.2 mm. It is apparent that the particular material used for sleeve 14 may be varied in accordance with design requirements. As indicated previously, the properties of the material used determine whether the roller will be heated primarily by hysteresis or eddy current losses, or by a combination thereof.
  • coils 15 are wired in a balanced delta connection.
  • the apices of the delta are connected through a suitable electrical circuit including three rheostats to the terminals of a three-phasecurrent generator 17.
  • the rheostats 16 are mechanically intercoupled so that the voltages at the apices of the delta connection are maintained equal by coordinated adjustments of the settings of rheostats 16.
  • Generator 17 is driven by a shaft 19 which is connected to a suitable motor (not shown).
