Benefits of technology

The present invention is a yarn feeder that is designed to prevent dust and particles from entering the interior channel. It achieves this by using two plugs that cover the ends of the winding wheel. Compared to conventional yarn feeders, the invention uses a metric motor which is easy to find in the market and reduces manufacturing costs and the size of the yarn feeder.

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional yarn feeder is disadvantageous because: the driving motor can only indirectly drive the winding wheel through the belt member, and since the yarning process usually needs hundreds of yarn feeders to work together, the space-consuming components such as the driving motor, the belt member and the winding wheel may lead to severe problem in space arrangement of a factory.

Abstract

A yarn feeder may comprise a metric-sized motor and a winding wheel, and a drive shaft axially protruding from a first end of the motor is configured to connect to a rotating member. The winding wheel formed in a tube shape comprises a first end and a second end, and an interior channel is adapted to axially penetrate through the winding wheel from the first end to the second end thereof. The interior channel is configured to accommodate the motor, and the rotating member is coupled with the interior channel such that the motor is configured to drive the winding wheel through the rotating member. The motor in the present invention is a metric-sized motor which is not only easy to buy in the market but also reduces manufacturing cost and the volume of the yarn feeder.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a yarn feeder and more particularly to a low-cost and space-saving yarn feeder.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Generally, a conventional yarn feeder has a winding wheel secured on a shaft, and an end of the shaft is pivotally connected to a frame while a body portion thereof is connected to a rim. Moreover, the rim is connected to a driving motor through a belt member such that the driving motor can drive the winding wheel to achieve the yarn winding.[0003]However, the conventional yarn feeder is disadvantageous because: the driving motor can only indirectly drive the winding wheel through the belt member, and since the yarning process usually needs hundreds of yarn feeders to work together, the space-consuming components such as the driving motor, the belt member and the winding wheel may lead to severe problem in space arrangement of a factory. Therefore, there remains a need for a new and improved design for a yarn fee...
