Platform and associated method for supporting splicing unit of spinning machine

Abstract

A platform and associated method for supporting a splicing unit of a spinning machine are disclosed. The platform includes a bottom plate for receiving the splicing unit. The platform further includesone or more first wheels and one or more second wheels, the first wheel is fixed to one end of the bottom plate and traverses on the guide rail, and the second wheel can be rotatably fixed to the base plate and crosses over the factory floor. In addition, the platform includes a mechanism for adjusting the horizontal height of the base plate relative to the factory floor. The mechanism includes acontrol unit that receives signals from the sensors and is connected to a linear adapter of one or more second wheels to adjust the horizontal height of the base plate. Therefore, the platform with this configuration continuously refers to the factory floor monitoring level to facilitate precise positioning of the splicing unit with reference to the frame of the spinning machine.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of textile industry. Specifically, but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates to a platform for supporting a splicing unit of a textile machine. In addition, an embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a self-aligning platform for supporting a piecing unit of a ring spinning machine. Background technique [0002] In the textile industry, ring spinning machines are usually used for spinning fibers such as cotton, linen or wool to produce yarn. The fiber material can be supplied to the ring spinning machine in the form of roving. In addition, the ring spinning machine stretches the roving to the required fineness and imparts sufficient twist, and finally forms a continuous yarn, which is then wound on a bobbin (spool) for storage. During the spinning operation, yarn breakage is an unavoidable dilemma for ring spinning machines. Therefore, the effective and continuous operation of ring sp...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

this may cause a collision

The bobbin transport (creel supply) is supported at the top, so there are space restrictions in the upper area of ​​the spinning machine

Spinning machine frames are not standardized, so systems attached to the frame will be difficult to retrofit

However, factory floors may consist of undulating surfaces, which may interfere with the levelness of the platform base during operation, thus inhibiting proper positioning of the splice during splicing operations

Incorrect positioning of the splicing head of the splicing unit is an undesirable situation in the splicing operation as it leads to wastage of yarn
