The rotation module controls the rotation of the suction tube in the horizontal and vertical planes parallel to the central axis of the suction tube, as well as in the plane perpendicular to the central axis of the suction tube. The vertical plane rotation of the axis ensures multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment of the suction tube within a confined space. Through collaboration with the motion module and vision module, the suction tube can achieve angle and position adjustments in three-dimensional space. The central axis of the suction tube is perpendicular to the central axis of the broken yarn tube, facilitating precise alignment of the broken yarn end on the broken yarn tube from the side. The negative pressure module and the suction tube work together to locate and effectively adsorb the broken yarn on the broken yarn tube. This optimizes the motion space, reduces operation steps, simplifies operation, and makes the structure compact, solving the problem of complex mechanical structures. It also optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio, thereby saving costs. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification.
[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 11 It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and to facilitate understanding. They are not intended to limit the scope of the invention and therefore have no substantial technical significance.

[0020] The emphasis here can be on the end closer to the spinning machine as the front end and the end farther away from the spinning machine as the back end.
[0021] The following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only. These embodiments can be combined and are not limited to the content shown in any single embodiment below.
[0022] In this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 11 The present invention provides a yarn-picking device 241 for a ring spinning machine, comprising: The system comprises a base 4, a broken yarn finding assembly 2, a spindle drawing and combing assembly 3, and a yarn picking module 24. The broken yarn finding assembly 2 includes a finding module 21, a rotating module 22, and a moving module 23 mounted on the base 4. The finding module 21 includes a suction tube 211, a clamping block 212, and a negative pressure module 213. The rear end of the suction tube 211 is connected to the clamping block 212 and communicates with the negative pressure module 213 through a suction tube. The negative pressure module 213 provides suction so that when the suction tube 211 finds the broken yarn on the broken yarn tube, it sucks up the end of the broken yarn. The central axis of the suction tube 211 is perpendicular to the central axis of the broken yarn tube, which facilitates accurate alignment of the broken yarn end on the broken yarn tube from the side. The negative pressure module 213 is a negative pressure pump that continuously generates negative pressure airflow. The rotating module 22 is used to control the head-finding module 21 to rotate in a horizontal plane and a vertical plane parallel to the central axis of the yarn suction tube 211, as well as in a vertical plane perpendicular to the central axis of the yarn suction tube 211. The moving module 23 drives the head-finding module 21 and the rotating module 22 to move simultaneously in the vertical and forward / backward lateral directions via the connecting plate. The moving module 23 can accurately position the position where yarn needs to be sucked up, improving the degree of automation and production efficiency, while also reducing the error rate caused by inaccurate manual operation. It also includes a vision module, which is used to collect and process the position information of broken yarn spindles, broken yarn, ring rail, air ring, yarn guide hook and roller. The vision module can be an industrial camera mounted on the clamping block 212.
[0023] The yarn picking module 24 includes a yarn hook 241 arranged parallel to the central axis of the yarn suction tube 211 and a yarn picking power module 242 for driving the yarn hook 241 to rotate. The rear end of the yarn hook 241 passes through and is rotatably mounted on the clamping block 212. The front end of the yarn hook 241 has a first bend 243, and the front end of the yarn suction tube 211 has a second bend 244 that forms a U-shaped structure with the first bend 243 at the front end of the yarn hook 241. A yarn picking and threading section is formed between the first bend 243 of the yarn hook 241 and the second bend 244 of the yarn suction tube 211, and cooperates with the rotating module 22 and the moving module 23 to quickly and conveniently thread the yarn picking and threading section onto the roller.
[0024] The yarn-picking power module 242 drives the yarn hook 241 to rotate, causing the broken yarn between the yarn suction tube 211 and the broken yarn tube to be wound into the first bend 243 at the front end of the yarn hook 241. The broken yarn wound into the first bend 243 at the front end of the yarn hook 241 and the broken yarn end sucked by the second bend 244 at the front end of the yarn suction tube 211 form a yarn-picking and threading part. By cooperating with the rotating module 22 and the moving module 23, the yarn-picking and threading part is tilted at a certain angle to the horizontal plane, so that the yarn passes through the steel wire ring quickly and effectively, thereby solving the problem of low efficiency and low success rate of threading the steel wire ring. Through the coordinated operation of the spindle-pulling and combing assembly 3 and the broken yarn head finding assembly 2, the spindle-pulling and combing assembly removes the broken yarn tube from the spindle and rotates it in the opposite direction to the normal winding direction of the yarn. During the reverse rotation of the broken yarn tube, it moves towards the tangential direction of the broken yarn tube to provide tangential force to the broken yarn on the broken yarn tube, thereby loosening or unwinding the broken yarn on the broken yarn tube. This solves the problem that when the broken yarn is wrapped on the broken yarn tube, it is difficult to find and pick up the wrapped broken yarn head, which directly affects the splicing success rate. The rotation module 22 controls the yarn suction tube 211 to rotate in the horizontal and vertical planes parallel to the central axis of the yarn suction tube 211, as well as in the plane perpendicular to the central axis of the yarn suction tube 211. The vertical plane can rotate, thus ensuring the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment of the suction tube 211 in a confined space. Through cooperation with the moving module 23 and the vision module, the suction tube 211 can achieve angle and position adjustment in three-dimensional space. The central axis of the suction tube 211 is perpendicular to the central axis of the broken yarn tube, which facilitates precise alignment of the broken yarn end on the broken yarn tube from the side. The negative pressure module 213 and the suction tube 211 work together to find and effectively adsorb the broken yarn on the broken yarn tube. This achieves optimization of the motion space, reduces operation steps, makes operation simple and the structure compact, solves the problem of complex mechanical structure, and also optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio, thereby saving costs.
[0025] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and 3 The yarn picking power module 242 includes a small gear 2421 and a large gear 2422 coaxially fixedly connected to the rear end of the yarn hook 241, and a yarn picking power component 2423 mounted on the rotating module 22 to drive the large gear 2422 to rotate. The yarn picking power component 2423 can be a servo motor or a motor. The large gear 2422 meshes with the small gear 2421 for transmission. By driving the large gear 2422 to rotate through the yarn picking power component 2423, and the large gear 2422 meshing with the small gear 2421 for transmission, the output torque of the yarn picking power component 2423 is amplified, improving the reliability of yarn picking and the smoothness of movement.

By combining the tilting module 225, the pitching module 223, and the rotation power module 226 of the rotating module 22, the suction tube 211 can rotate in the horizontal plane and the vertical plane parallel to the central axis of the suction tube 211, as well as in the vertical plane perpendicular to the central axis of the suction tube 211, thereby ensuring the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment of the suction tube 211 in a confined space.

Through the structural design of the U-shaped seat 2231, both stability and torsional resistance can be improved, and pitch space can also be provided for the L-shaped seat 224. The pitch shaft 2232 is driven to rotate by the pitch power component 2233, which in turn drives the L-shaped seat 224 to rotate in a vertical plane parallel to the central axis of the suction tube 211, thereby driving the suction tube 211 to move.

This can not only provide stable and precise transmission so that the suction tube 211 can adapt to yarn breakage in a stationary position, but also allow the power component to be arranged at the rear end, so that the suction tube 211 has enough operating space and avoids operational interference.
[0030] Alternatively, the rotary power module 226 includes a first gear rotatably connected to the front end of the bottom of the base plate 221, a second gear rotatably connected to the bottom of the base plate 221, a third gear rotatably connected to the rear end of the bottom of the base plate 221, and a rotary power component 2264 that drives the third gear to rotate. The rotary power component 2264 is either a rotary cylinder or a motor. The second gear is located between the first gear and the second gear, and the second gear meshes with both the first gear and the second gear for transmission. By driving the third gear to rotate through the rotary power component 2264, the second gear is driven to rotate. The first gear meshes with the second gear for transmission, thereby driving the rotating seat 222 to rotate in a horizontal plane parallel to the central axis of the suction tube 211. This allows for precise transmission so that the suction tube 211 can adapt to yarn breakage at a stationary position, and also allows the power component to be arranged at the rear end, giving the suction tube 211 sufficient operating space and avoiding operational interference.
[0031] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The negative pressure module 213 includes an air source, a convex block 2131, and a venturi tube 2132. The venturi tube 2132 is disposed inside the convex block 2131, and the central axis of the venturi tube 2132 is parallel to the length direction of the middle part of the convex block 2131. The two ends of the length direction of the middle part of the convex block 2131 respectively have an inlet channel 2133 and an outlet channel 2134 communicating with the contraction section and expansion section of the venturi tube 2132. The top of the convex block 2131 has an air intake channel 2135 that communicates with the throat of the venturi tube 2132. The air source is connected to the inlet channel 2133 through an air supply pipe. The air supply pipe has a solenoid valve and a throttle valve. The rear end of the yarn suction tube 211 is connected to the air intake channel 2135 through the air intake pipe. The convex block 2131 is disposed on the rotating module 22 and the L-shaped seat 224. Gas is introduced into the inlet channel 2133 via an air source, creating negative pressure at the throat of the venturi tube 2132. Air enters through the suction channel 2135, simultaneously sucking up the broken yarn ends on the broken yarn tube. Both the introduced gas and the air entering through the suction channel 2135 flow out through the outlet channel 2134. Through the cooperation of the air source, the convex block 2131, and the venturi tube 2132, negative pressure is generated efficiently, applicable to different yarn tube specifications or varying package densities, improving versatility. It also optimizes negative pressure airflow efficiency, reduces energy loss and negative pressure attenuation, and facilitates accurate location and adsorption of broken yarn ends on the broken yarn tube by the suction tube 211, reducing operational steps and improving the success rate and efficiency of yarn end locating and adsorption. The solenoid valve and throttle valve on the air supply pipe can precisely control the airflow and pressure, thereby adjusting the adsorption force to adapt to different yarn types and working conditions.
[0032] The contraction section of the venturi tube 2132 is larger than the expansion section. This design allows the airflow to accelerate more quickly upon entering the venturi tube 2132. Increased flow velocity leads to decreased pressure, creating a stronger negative pressure at the throat, reducing energy loss, optimizing energy conversion efficiency, and improving the adsorption force of the yarn suction tube 211 on the yarn end, enabling it to more effectively absorb yarn. It also allows for smoother airflow into the venturi tube 2132, reducing airflow turbulence and eddy currents, improving airflow stability, adapting to compact spatial layouts, and enhancing structural reliability.
[0033] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The mobile module 23 includes an L-shaped top plate 231, three vertical supports 232 arranged in a triangle at the bottom of the L-shaped top plate 231, vertical lugs 233 fixed to the bottom of the horizontal part of the L-shaped top plate 231, an L-shaped block 234, three sliding columns 235 respectively coaxially slidably fitted on the supports 232, a mobile module 236 fixed to the bottom of the L-shaped block 234, a vertical connecting plate 237 fixed to the mobile module 236, a station block 238, and a mechanism for driving the mobile module. The annular lifting module 239, which moves vertically, has three sliding columns 235 fixedly connected to the L-shaped block 234. The station block 238 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjacent support column 232 located on the horizontal part of the L-shaped block 234, forming a local reinforcing node. The moving module 236 is connected to the annular lifting module 239 through the vertical connecting plate 237 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. The vertical lug 233 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped top station plate 231 to provide additional torsional support. The three support columns 232 are arranged in a triangle, with the top fixed to the L-shaped top station plate 231 and the bottom connected to the L-shaped block 234 through the sliding columns 235, forming a spatial truss structure. This structure can resist the multi-directional inertial forces generated when the suction tube 211 moves, ensuring long-term motion accuracy and significantly improving load-bearing capacity. It also makes full use of space, making the entire moving module 23 compact. The ring lifting module 239 drives the moving module 236 to move through the vertical connecting plate 237. The L-shaped block 234 slides with the support column 232 through the sliding column 235, so that the vertical lifting trajectory of the suction tube 211 is strictly controlled, avoiding the problem of angular deviation of the suction tube 211 caused by swaying, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the movement.
[0034] The annular lifting module 239 includes a drive pulley 2391 rotatably mounted on the vertical lug 233, a driven pulley 2392 rotatably connected to the station block 238, a vertical belt 2393, and a lifting power component 2394 that drives the drive pulley 2391 to rotate. The lifting power component 2394 is either a rotary cylinder or a motor. The vertical belt 2393 drives the drive pulley 2391 and the driven pulley 2392. The vertical connecting plate 237 is fixed to the vertical belt 2393. Alternatively, the annular lifting module 239 includes a drive sprocket rotatably mounted on the vertical lug 233, a driven sprocket rotatably connected to the station block 238, a vertical chain, and a lifting power component 2394 that drives the drive sprocket to rotate. The lifting power component 2394 is either a rotary cylinder or a motor. The vertical chain drives the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket together. The vertical connecting plate 237 is fixed to the vertical chain. The horizontal portion of the L-shaped block 234 has a through hole 2310 along its thickness direction, through which the vertical chain or the vertical belt 2393 passes. The through hole 2310 not only strengthens guidance and enhances stability, but also optimizes space utilization, thereby optimizing the strength-to-weight ratio and saving costs. The lifting power component 2394 drives the driving pulley 2391 or driving sprocket to rotate, which in turn drives the driven pulley 2392 or driven sprocket to rotate, so that the vertical connecting plate 237 and the connected moving module 236 can move up and down at a stable speed, thereby precisely controlling the position of the head-finding module 21.
[0035] The moving module 236 includes an L-shaped plate 2361, two slide rails 2362, two slide rods 2363, a horizontal connecting plate 2364, a rectangular frame 2365, and an annular telescopic module 2366. The outer side of the vertical portion of the L-shaped plate 2361 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal portion of the L-shaped block 234. The two slide rails 2362 are fixedly connected to one side of the horizontal portion of the L-shaped plate 2361 and are parallel to the vertical portion of the L-shaped plate 2361. The two slide rods 2363 are slidably engaged with the two slide rails 2362 respectively. The two slide rods 2363 are parallel to the length direction of the rectangular frame 2365 and fixedly connected inside the rectangular frame 2365. The horizontal connecting plate 2364 is fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular frame 2365. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the rectangular frame 2365 facing the spinning machine. The vertical connecting plate 237 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the slide rails 2362 of the L-shaped plate 2361. The annular telescopic module 2366 drives the horizontal connecting plate 2364 to move, thereby causing the rectangular frame 2365 to extend and retract along the length direction of the slide rail 2362. During lateral movement, the annular telescopic module 2366 drives the horizontal connecting plate 2364 to move, thereby causing the rectangular frame 2365 to move along the length direction of the slide rail 2362. The slide rod 2363 slides with the slide rail 2362. The rectangular frame 2365 drives the connecting plate to move, thereby driving the suction tube 211 to move to achieve position adjustment. The rectangular frame 2365 can limit the slide rod 2363 during movement, and also achieve high stability and strong load capacity, reduce maintenance costs, and is suitable for industrial automation.
[0036] The L-shaped plate 2361 is fixed to the opposite side of the slide rail 2362 and has a balance plate 2311 below the vertical connecting plate 237. The balance plate 2311 and the adjacent support column 232 are in sliding engagement. When the vertical chain or vertical belt 2393 drives the vertical connecting plate 237 to rise and fall, the L-shaped plate will be subjected to a certain lateral force. The sliding engagement between the balance plate 2311 and the support column 232 can provide additional support and constraint, which can reduce the horizontal swing of the L-shaped plate, making the whole structure more stable, and also provide precise guidance.
[0037] The rectangular frame 2365 has a stabilizing plate 2312 on its side. The stabilizing plate 2312 is installed on the side of the rectangular frame 2365, which can increase the overall rigidity of the rectangular frame 2365. The stabilizing plate 2312 can distribute the load on the rectangular frame 2365 more evenly, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the rectangular frame 2365.
[0038] The annular telescopic module 2366 includes a first pulley 23661 rotatably disposed at the connection position between the vertical and horizontal portions of the L-shaped plate 2361, a second pulley 23662 rotatably connected to the end of the vertical portion of the L-shaped plate 2361, a transverse belt 23663, and a transverse power component 23664 that drives the second pulley 23662 to rotate. The transverse power component 23664 is either a rotary cylinder or a motor. The transverse belt 23663 drives the first pulley 23661 and the second pulley 23662. The transverse connecting plate 2364 is fixedly connected to the transverse belt 23663. Alternatively, the annular telescopic module 2366 includes a first sprocket rotatably disposed at the connection position between the vertical and horizontal portions of the L-shaped plate 2361, a second sprocket rotatably connected to the end of the vertical portion of the L-shaped plate 2361, a transverse chain, and a transverse power component 23664 that drives the second sprocket to rotate. The transverse power component 23664 is either a rotary cylinder or a motor. The transverse chain drives the first sprocket and the second sprocket together. The transverse connecting plate 2364 is fixed to the transverse chain. By fixing the transverse connecting plate 2364 to the transverse belt 23663 or transverse chain, when the transverse power component 23664 drives the second pulley 23662 or the second sprocket to rotate, the transverse belt 23663 or transverse chain will drive the transverse connecting plate 2364 to move, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the rectangular frame 2365 along the length direction of the slide rail 2362. This allows for convenient extension and retraction of the rectangular frame 2365, meeting the needs for adjusting the position of the suction tube 211 in different working scenarios. The first pulley 23661 or the first sprocket is located at the connection position between the vertical and horizontal parts of the L-shaped plate, and the second pulley 23662 or the second sprocket is located at the end of the vertical part of the L-shaped plate. This makes full use of space, making the entire annular telescopic module 2366 compact and reducing unnecessary space occupation.
[0039] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 8 to 11 It also includes the spindle-pulling and combing assembly 3 for removing the broken yarn tube from the spindle and rotating the broken yarn tube in the opposite direction to the normal winding direction of the yarn, and moving towards the tangential direction of the broken yarn tube during the reverse rotation of the broken yarn tube to provide tangential force to the broken yarn on the broken yarn tube to loosen or unwind the broken yarn on the broken yarn tube. The yarn pulling and combing assembly 3 includes a tube pulling mounting frame 31 vertically fixed above the base 4, a tube gripping module 32, a combing module 33, and a position adjustment module 34 disposed on the tube pulling mounting frame 31 for adjusting the position of the tube gripping module 32. The tube gripping module 32 is used to remove the broken yarn tube from the spindle and can rotate the broken yarn tube in the opposite direction to the normal winding direction of the yarn. The combing module 33 is used to move in the tangential direction of the broken yarn tube during the reverse rotation of the broken yarn tube to provide tangential force to the broken yarn on the broken yarn tube to loosen or unwind the broken yarn wrapped on the broken yarn tube. The yarn-grabbing module 32 includes a pneumatic shaft 321 rotatably mounted on the position control module 34 facing one end of the spinning machine, a yarn-grabbing tube 322 coaxially fixedly connected to the pneumatic shaft 321, a flexible bladder 323 disposed inside the yarn-grabbing tube 322 and communicating with the pneumatic shaft 321, and an unwinding power module 324 that drives the pneumatic shaft 321 to rotate. The pneumatic shaft 321 is connected to an air source structure. An air inlet pipe and an air extraction pipe are provided between the flexible bladder 323 and the pneumatic shaft 321. The air source structure inflates and deflates the flexible bladder 323 to grasp and release the broken yarn tube. The flexible bladder 323 can be a pneumatic silicone sheet. The pneumatic shaft 321 enables air circulation, and the yarn-grabbing module 322 uses a pneumatic silicone sheet to grasp and release the yarn tube. The air pressure can be adjusted through the air source structure to achieve precise control of the gripping force: when inflated, the flexible bladder 323 expands and clamps the yarn tube; when deflated, it releases quickly. Both the inlet and outlet pipes are equipped with air valves. When inflation or deflating is complete, the air valves are closed to allow the flexible bladder 323 to enter a pressure-holding state. The flexible bladder 323 achieves gripping through inflation and deflation deformation. The uniform wrapping force of the flexible bladder 323 fixes the yarn tube, enabling it to adaptively conform to broken yarn tubes of different diameters or surface conditions, ensuring gripping stability while reducing contact stress.
[0040] The unwinding power module 324 includes a first unwinding rotating component rotatably mounted on the position control module 34, a second unwinding rotating component rotatably mounted on the position control module 34, an unwinding transmission component, and an unwinding power component that drives the second unwinding rotating component to rotate. The unwinding transmission component drives the first and second unwinding rotating components. The first unwinding rotating component rotates coaxially with the pneumatic shaft 321. The unwinding power component can be either a rotary cylinder or a motor. The first and second unwinding rotating components are pulleys or sprockets, and the unwinding transmission component is a belt or chain. The unwinding power component drives the second unwinding rotating component to rotate, which in turn drives the first unwinding rotating component to rotate via the unwinding transmission component. This, in turn, drives the pneumatic shaft 321 to rotate, causing the broken yarn tube to rotate in the opposite direction to the normal winding direction of the yarn. The operation is simple, the structure is compact, and the operation steps are reduced. It can make the broken yarn longer and can also adapt to confined spaces.
[0041] The flexible bladder 323 inside the gripping tube 322 has multiple flexible bladders 323 arranged along the axial direction of the gripping tube 322. All the flexible bladders 323 are connected to the air source structure. The axial arrangement can increase the contact points and prevent the yarn tube from sliding. Each flexible bladder 323 is independently controlled and can be adjusted to fit yarn tubes of various diameters, providing practicality and universality.
[0042] The flexible capsule 323 has an uninterrupted annular shape. Multiple flexible capsules 323 may have the same or different specifications, and all flexible capsules 323 may be inflated and deflated together or independently.
[0043] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The combing module 33 includes a combing component 331 and a combing telescopic module 332 for controlling the combing component 331 to move toward the tangent direction of the broken yarn tube. The combing telescopic module 332 is mounted on the tube pulling mounting frame 31. The combing telescopic module 332 is one of a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod, which makes the structure compact and suitable for narrow spaces.
[0044] The combing component 331 is either a brush or an air knife connected to the air source structure, used to loosen and unwind the tangled yarn, thus meeting the combing requirements of different yarn types. The air pressure of the air knife can be adjusted by the air source structure. The air knife sprays high-speed airflow through the air source to blow away broken yarns in a non-contact manner.
[0045] In this embodiment, please refer to Figures 8 to 10 The position control module 34 includes a lead screw 341 vertically and rotatably mounted in the tube pulling mounting frame 31, a tube pulling mounting seat 342 threadedly engaged with the lead screw 341, a tube pulling horizontal pusher 343 with one end inclined on the tube pulling mounting seat 342 and facing the direction of the broken yarn tube, an L-shaped support plate 344 fixedly connected to the other end of the tube pulling horizontal pusher 343, and a tube pulling power component 345 that drives the lead screw 341 to rotate. The tube pulling power component 345 is a motor or a rotary cylinder. The tube pulling mounting frame 31 has a vertical sliding groove that slides with the tube pulling mounting seat 342. The tube gripping module 322 is rotatably mounted on the L-shaped support plate. The first unwinding rotating component and the second unwinding rotating component are respectively rotatably mounted on the front and rear ends of the horizontal part of the L-shaped support plate 344. The tube-pulling power component 345 drives the lead screw 341 to rotate, which in turn moves the tube-pulling mounting base 342 up and down. The tube-pulling horizontal pusher 343 extends and retracts, which in turn moves the L-shaped support plate 344, thereby moving the tube-gripping module 322.
[0046] The tube puller 343 includes a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric push rod; Alternatively, the tube pulling pusher 343 includes a tube pulling pusher obliquely disposed on the tube pulling mounting base 342 and facing the direction of the broken yarn tube, a translational plate fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the tube pulling pusher, a follower module rotatably disposed on the tube pulling mounting base 342, and a follower plate disposed on the follower module. The follower plate is fixedly connected to the L-shaped support plate 344. The tube pulling pusher is one of a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric push rod. The follower module includes a first follower pulley, a second follower pulley, and a follower belt. The first follower pulley and the second follower pulley are connected by a follower belt drive. The first follower pulley and the second follower pulley are rotatably mounted on the tube pulling mounting base 342. The translational plate and the follower plate are fixedly connected to the lower front end and the upper rear end of the follower belt, respectively, and are arranged diagonally. The tube pulling mounting frame 31 has a follower groove that slides with the follower plate. The retraction of the tube-pulling horizontal pusher drives the translation plate to move backward, and the rotation of the follower belt drives the follower plate to move forward, so that the L-shaped pallet 344 has a longer movement distance and improves space utilization.
[0047] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 The yarn drawing and combing assembly 3 also includes a detection suction head module 35, which is used for real-time detection of the adsorption of broken ends of the yarn suction tube 211; the detection suction head module 35 is an optical fiber sensor.
[0048] The detection suction head module 35 is connected to a detection telescopic power component 351, which uses a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric push rod to perform linear motion. The detection telescopic power component 351 is mounted on the base 4 via a support shaft 352.
[0049] Working principle: When using it, the following steps are included: The brake module stops the rotation of the broken yarn brake; the brake module can be an existing one. The position control module 34 moves the tube gripping module 32 above the broken yarn tube. The tube gripping module 32 removes the broken yarn tube from the spindle and rotates the broken yarn tube in the opposite direction to the normal winding direction of the yarn. The combing module 33 moves toward the tangential direction of the broken yarn tube during the reverse rotation of the broken yarn tube to loosen or unwind the broken yarn wrapped on the broken yarn tube. Location information is collected, processed, and identified through a vision module; The rotating module 22 controls the head-finding module 21 to rotate in a horizontal plane parallel to the central axis of the yarn suction tube 211, and cooperates with the moving module 23 to make the central axis of the yarn suction tube 211 perpendicular to the central axis of the broken yarn tube. The negative pressure module 213 provides suction so that when the yarn suction tube 211 finds the broken yarn on the broken yarn tube, it sucks up the end of the broken yarn. The yarn picking power module 242 drives the yarn hook 241 to rotate, so that the broken yarn between the yarn suction tube 211 and the broken yarn tube is wound into the first bend 243 at the front end of the yarn hook 241. The broken yarn wound into the first bend 243 at the front end of the yarn hook 241 and the broken yarn end sucked by the second bend 244 at the front end of the yarn suction tube 211 form a yarn picking and threading part. By cooperating with the rotating module 22 and the moving module 23, the yarn picking and threading part is tilted at a certain angle to the horizontal plane, so that the yarn passes through the wire ring quickly and effectively. The moving module 23 drives the head-finding module 21 and the rotating module 22 to move simultaneously in the vertical and forward / backward lateral directions via the connecting plate, and cooperates with the pitch module 223 to more easily thread the broken yarn onto the roller.
[0050] In summary, this invention drives the yarn hook 241 to rotate via the yarn picking power module 242, causing the broken yarn between the yarn suction tube 211 and the broken yarn tube to be wound into the first bend 243 at the front end of the yarn hook 241. The broken yarn wound into the first bend 243 at the front end of the yarn hook 241 and the broken yarn end sucked by the second bend 244 at the front end of the yarn suction tube 211 form a yarn picking and threading part. By cooperating with the rotating module 22 and the moving module 23, the yarn picking and threading part is tilted at a certain angle to the horizontal plane, thereby enabling the yarn to pass through the steel wire ring quickly and effectively, thus solving the problems of low efficiency and low success rate of threading through the steel wire ring. Through the coordinated operation of the spindle-pulling and combing assembly 3 and the broken yarn head finding assembly 2, the spindle-pulling and combing assembly removes the broken yarn tube from the spindle and rotates it in the opposite direction to the normal winding direction of the yarn. During the reverse rotation of the broken yarn tube, it moves towards the tangential direction of the broken yarn tube to provide tangential force to the broken yarn on the broken yarn tube, thereby loosening or unwinding the broken yarn on the broken yarn tube. This solves the problem that when the broken yarn is wrapped on the broken yarn tube, it is difficult to find and pick up the wrapped broken yarn head, which directly affects the splicing success rate. The rotation module 22 controls the yarn suction tube 211 to rotate in the horizontal and vertical planes parallel to the central axis of the yarn suction tube 211, as well as in the plane perpendicular to the central axis of the yarn suction tube 211. The vertical rotation of the suction tube 211 ensures multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment within a confined space. Through collaboration with the motion module 23 and the vision module, the suction tube 211 can achieve angle and position adjustments in three-dimensional space. The central axis of the suction tube 211 is perpendicular to the central axis of the broken yarn tube, facilitating precise alignment of the broken yarn end on the broken yarn tube from the side. The negative pressure module 213 and the suction tube 211 work together to locate and effectively adsorb the broken yarn on the broken yarn tube. This optimizes the movement space, reduces operational steps, simplifies operation, and creates a compact structure, solving the problem of complex mechanical structures. It also optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio, thereby saving costs. Therefore, this invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of existing technologies and has high industrial applicability.
