Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A device for feeding yarns in textile machines, particularly for weft measuring devices in looms with hydraulic or pneumatic weft insertion.
  • the device includes two rotary bodies, one rotary body being constituted by a ring provided with an inner frictional surface and an outer frictional surface, the ring being mounted on a rotary conical driving body.
  • the other rotary body is a yarn pressing disc, the axis of rotation of which is parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotary conical driving body.
  • the ring and the pressing disc form a yarn-forwarding nip between them.
  • the ring and the conical rotary driving body constitute a frictional pair of which at least one member is axially tra- I versable with respect to the other member of said frictional pair.
  • the present invention relates to a device for feeding yarn in textile machines, particularly for weft measuring devices in looms with hydraulic or pneumatic weft insertion, said device including two cooperating nipforming rotary bodies.
  • the two yarn guides are mounted stationarily.
  • the velocity of feeding depends in this case upon the diameter of the lower driving cylinder.
  • the lower driving cylinder is arranged so as to be replaceable or its drive is provided with a transmission mechanism providing a gradually adjustable yarn feeding velocity.
  • the device for feeding yarn with a replaceable lower driving cylinder is not suitable for used in machines requiring a change of yarn velocity during the operation of the machine.
  • the disadvantage of the variable speed transmission consists in high costs and space requirements.
  • the two yarn guides are arranged adjustably along the nip line of the two bodies.
  • the velocity of yarn feeding is adjusted by the position of the yarn guides with respect to the nip line.
  • the yarn is subjected to a lateral traction, which results in higher tension at the nip point of the yarn. This phenomenon might cause either breakage of certain yarn materials, or e.g., with synthetic rayon produce undesired irreversible drafting.
  • the disadvantage of the nip line between two rotary bodies made between two conical surface lines consists in irregular withdrawing speed caused by oscillation of the yarn along the nip line, namely when the yarn has, e.g., a variable character, as the yarn speed changes along the nip line.
  • the devices hitherto known for feeding yarn are not suitable for processing flat tapes of plastic material such as polypropylene, polyethylene or modifications of said materials in the form of weft in looms with hydraulic or pneumatic weft insertion, such looms being provided with a weft measuring device located behind the feeding device.
  • the yarn brake frequently causes weft breakage. After accumulation of the' twist in frontof the brake, said twist penetrates the nip line of the brake, which is thus out of action during the time of passage of the yarn therethrough. This phenomenon, which impairs the quality of the fabric thus manufactured, frequently causes yarn collisions in further parts of the weft measuring zone, which usually results in yarn breakage.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a feeding device of simple construction and high operation reliability which makes possible a quick change of yarn feeding speed during machine operation; this is particularly suitable for use with the weft measuring device in looms with hydraulic or pneumatic weft insertion for weaving with a weft having the shape of a flat tape.
  • the requirements as given above are substantially fulfilled by the device according to the present invention for feeding yarn in textile machines.
  • Such device includes two rotary bodies forming a yam-feeding nip, said device according to the present invention being characterized in that one rotary body is constituted ,by an annulus or ring provided with inner and outer friction surfaces, said annulus being freely mounted on a conical driving rotary body having a diameter which changes from a minimum continuously to a maximum diameter which corresponds to the inner diameter of the annulus.
  • the annulus is brought into rotation by contact of at least a part of the inner friction surface of the annulus with the housing of the driving rotary body.
  • the second rotary body is at least one pressing disc, the axis of rotation of which is parallel with the axis of rotation of the driving rotary body.
  • the annulus and the driving friction body constitute a friction pair, of which at least one element is axially displaceable with respect to the other element of said friction pair.
  • the driving rotary body may be constituted by a truncated cone, a paraboloid, a hyperboloid, a barrelshaped body, etc.
  • the most suitable shape from the viewpoint of both manufacture and construction is that of a truncated cone.
  • the pressing disc is rotatably and movably mounted on a carrier in such manner as to be enabled to move away from the annulus, said carrier being provided with at least one means for pressing said pressing disc towards the annulus.
  • the carrier is provided with a fork for holding the annulus in its adjusted operative position.
  • At least one yarn guide is arranged for bringing the yarn or yarns into immediate proximity of the nip line of the pair of rotary bodies.
  • the carrier is adjustably displaceable on a stationary guideway along an axially stationary driving rotary body, and is provided either with a swingable carrier arm, on which a pressing, disc is rotatably mounted, or a gate, in which there are guided the pins of the pressing disc.
  • the pressing means is constituted by a spring mounted between the carrier-arm and the carrier, or the pressing means may be a spring arranged on the carrier so as to thrust upon the pins of the pressing disc.
  • the driving rotary body is axially and adjustably displaceable with respect to an axially stationary carrier.
  • the driving rotary body in this embodiment is traversably mounted on a driving shaft and connected in its movement, on the one hand, with this driving shaft, and on the other hand with a control member for adjusting the position of the driving rotary body on the driving shaft.
  • the control element is constituted by a screw and a driver which engages the groove of the hub of the driving rotary body.
  • At least one rotary body is preferably provided with a friction coating for improving the frictional engagement between the said rotary bodies.
  • At least one of the pair of rotary bodies is provided with a circumferential groove in which the second body of said pair is guided.
  • the carrier is made of an annular sleeve mounted contactlessly on a driving rotary body and fastened to a pressing arm swingably mounted on a stationary support; the carrier is stationarily connected to the inner annulus of a ball bearing on which an outer ball bearing ring carrying an annulus is rotatably mounted.
  • the annulus is made of a rectilinear housing which passes over to a one-sided flange with an inner friction surface.
  • the pressing arm is spring loaded for securing a frictional engagement between the annulus and the driving rotary body.
  • the device according to the present invention makes possible the simultaneous feeding of several yarns.
  • a circumferential groove which divides the nip line into two partial nip lines; a collar engages said groove and is mounted on the other rotary body of said pair, to which there is attached a pair of independently controllable yarn guides for selective engagement of the yarn into the partial nip line and disengagement therefrom.
  • At least two pressing discs can be attached to one annulus.
  • the arrangement of the device according to the present invention for selectively feeding several yarns is characterized in that each carrier arm is assigned a control mechanism for moving the pressing disc away from the annulus.
  • the control mechanism is advantageously formed by an electromagnet. Between the annulus and the pressing disc there is a step on at least one side for introducing the yarn between the said pair.
  • the device according to the present invention further makes it possible to feed the yarn by wrapping it around an annulus.
  • the said annulus is provided with a circumferential groove; yarn is guided in the circumferential groove of the pressing disc, a guiding comb being attached to said annulus for spreading the yarn windings around the annulus mounted in front of the gap for the free passage of yarn made between the annulus and the driving rotary body.
  • the driving rotary body is made of material with a high coefficient of friction and a sufficient resistance to abrasion, e.g., of hard rubber, wood, etc.
  • the annulus is preferably made, in view of the necessary low moment of inertia, of material of the lightest possible specific mass, e.g., aluminum, duraluminum, nylon, textile material, or any material of similar properties. It is desirable that this material has a maximum coefficient of slip friction with the material of the driving rotary body, in order to eliminate mutual slippage to a maximum extent.
  • the advantage of the device according to the present invention consists in that the nip line is formed by cylindrical surfaces, and thus the device is not responsive to changes of the point of entrance of the yarn into the nip line. This fact is particularly important when processing yarns in the form of a flat tape.
  • a further advantage of the device according to the present invention consists in that upon changing the yarn feeding velocity during operation of the machine, the thus fed yarn is not subjected to the effect of additional stressing caused by its rolling along the nip line upon axial displacement by means of yarn guides, as e.g., in the device with two rolling cones. Thus, there occurs no overtension of yarn, which might cause a breakage upon processing yarn of lower strength properties, or glazed yarns in the fabric upon processing silk yarns.
  • the device according to the present invention makes possible the simultaneous feeding of several yarns by one feeding device, the selective feeding of several yarns, and the feeding of yarns without the usual gripping upon passing the nip line of the cooperating rotary bodies.

  • the device as shown in FIG.3 operates as follows:
  • the yarn feeding velocity of the device may be changed by adjusting the appurtenant axial position of the rotary driving body 19 relative to stationary ring 17 by means of control wheel 60. The speed control can be performed even during operation of the device.
  • the advantage of the device shown in F163 over the device shown in F162 consists in that upon variation of the yarn withdrawing speed, no change in the position of the nip line between ring 17 and pressing disc 18 occurs. Yarn 3 is thus fed for further processing from the same point.
  • a partial disadvantage of that embodiment consists in its rather more intricate construction.
