Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a combing machine with a frame for a spinning preparation process, wherein at least two combing heads are arranged in the frame, and the combing machine has a main drive motor for driving the combing heads. Background Technology

[0002] For example, DE102012011030A1 discloses a combing head for a combing machine used in a spinning preparation process. The combing head has a drive input shaft as a main structural component, which drives a nipper plate transmission mechanism, wherein the nipper plate transmission mechanism drives the nipper plate mechanism. Furthermore, the transmission unit has a separating cylinder, which is disposed at the transmission output end of a planetary gear transmission mechanism. The rotational motion of the central shaft is coupled to the nipper plate shaft via a crank rocker arm and cam transmission, thereby causing the latter to perform oscillating motion. The central shaft also drives the planetary gear transmission mechanism for the separating cylinder, wherein the central shaft is connected to the drive input shaft via a transmission stage.

[0003] Therefore, the combing head has a shaft and working drums coupled to the shaft that function in different ways. These working drums perform oscillating motion, and the separating drums, in particular, perform so-called Pierce motion. There are also shafts and such working drums that perform continuous rotational motion or rotational motion at alternating speeds. For example, a circular comb shaft with circular comb rollers mounted thereon performs rotational motion in the direction of rotation at fluctuating speeds, resulting in discontinuous power consumption for the main drive motor due to the driving or housing of other discontinuously rotating working drums and transmission mechanisms with acceleration and deceleration phases during the combing cycle.

[0004] Modern combing machines, for example, have eight combing heads arranged in rows adjacent to each other within or on a frame. Here, the combing heads operate synchronously with each other, allowing some shafts, especially discontinuously running shafts, to be coupled together. These shafts are constructed continuously in a specific manner, enabling multiple combing heads to share a common shaft. This reduces structural costs and ensures synchronous operation of the combing heads. The same approach can be used for separation drums.

[0005] For example, EP2397584B1 shows a combing head with separating cylinders, each driven by two synchronously operating electric motors. This increases the power in the discontinuous rotational motion of the separating cylinders, and a transmission mechanism is present on each side of the separating cylinders, through which the corresponding electric motors are effectively connected to the separating cylinders in a driving manner.

[0006] The power consumption of the main drive motor is characterized by a discontinuous curve due to the Pierce motion, the oscillating motion of the separator drum and the chuck shaft, yet this curve repeats in the same manner for each combing cycle. In particular, the deceleration and acceleration of the various shafts, and the deceleration and acceleration of the working drums mounted on these shafts (often referred to here as such), yield characteristic curves, where power consumption is necessary not only to generate torque in the first direction of rotation of the motor, but also to generate torque in the opposite direction of rotation. This results in high overall power consumption and high energy demands for operating combers, especially those with multiple combing heads. The poor power balance may also be due to the fact that, because the output torque changes periodically and repeatedly within each combing cycle, the main drive motor cannot operate at its optimal state, especially in terms of torque. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The objective of this invention is to optimize the operation of a combing machine and minimize power consumption. Here, multiple combing heads should operate side-by-side without increasing the structural costs of coupling these combing heads.

[0008] This task is accomplished by a combing machine according to the present invention.

[0009] To solve this problem, the present invention provides a main shaft that is effectively connected to a main drive motor, wherein the main shaft drives at least two combing heads, and the combing heads are effectively connected to the main shaft such that the combing cycles of the combing heads are staggered during the operation of the main drive motor.

[0010] Here, each combing head of the first group can also operate in the first phase and the second group of combing heads can operate in the second phase, wherein these groups are effectively connected to the main drive motor in a driving manner. The first group of combing heads and the second group of combing heads are effectively connected to the main drive motor in a driving manner, particularly through a common transmission mechanism.

[0011] The core idea of ​​this invention is that at least two combing heads are phase-shifted in their combing cycles, or the combing cycles of the first group of combing heads and the second group of combing heads are phase-shifted, thereby deriving a power flow through the effective connection of these groups, which can at least partially compensate for each other. A portion of the power consumed during the acceleration phase and for accelerating the first combing head or the first group of combing heads can be provided by a torque generated during the deceleration phase of the combing cycle of the second combing head or the second group of combing heads. This results in a smoother power curve, thereby reducing the total power demand for the comber's operation and allowing the main drive motor to operate at or near-optimal operating conditions.

[0012] For this purpose, it is particularly advantageous that the first and second combing heads, or the first and second transmission mechanisms for driving the combing head assembly, are coupled to each other. Therefore, when it is not necessary to periodically change the power flow via the main drive motor, for example, during the deceleration phase of the main working drum in the first combing head or the first set of combing heads, the surplus power can be used to perform the acceleration phase of the main working drum in the second combing head or the second set of combing heads. In this respect, the coupling of the first and second transmission mechanisms yields the advantage of enabling power compensation.

[0013] Specifically, a main shaft is provided, which couples the first combing head and the second combing head, or the first transmission mechanism and the second transmission mechanism, to each other. Here, the main shaft does not pass through the combing head itself, but rather passes beside the combing head and preferably connects only the two transmission mechanisms to each other.

[0014] Alternatively, a single drive mechanism may be provided to guide two main shafts that operate in staggered phases outwards. This drive mechanism is particularly positioned between two combing heads or combing head assemblies to be driven in staggered phases. The main shafts are effectively connected to each other, thereby coupling the first and second combing heads together.

[0015] In this configuration, the phase misalignment can be advantageously and mechanically adjusted rigidly via the spindle. Specifically, the spindle can be equipped with an adjustment device that allows adjustment of the portion of the spindle connected to the first drive mechanism relative to the portion connected to the second drive mechanism about an axis. It is also conceivable to install the adjustment device on one or both drive mechanisms, thus obtaining only the main portion of the spindle extending between the adjustment device and the main drive motor. Therefore, the possibility of adjusting the phase misalignment is created by the adjustment device, and the adjustment device can be equipped with an actuator to change the phase misalignment in a static state or even during operation, for example, via the comber's control unit. If the adjustment device is configured to allow adjustment of the phase misalignment via the control unit, especially during comber operation, the phase misalignment can also be monitored by the control unit, minimizing the comber's power consumption.

[0016] In terms of the structural construction of the combing machine, it is advantageous that a first transmission mechanism is disposed at the first end of the row of combing heads arranged side by side, and a second transmission mechanism is disposed at the opposite second end of the row of combing heads arranged side by side. Thus, the first and second transmission mechanisms enclose all units of the combing heads between them, wherein a first group of combing heads, consisting of adjacent combing heads, advantageously forms the left side portion of the row of all combing heads arranged side by side in the frame, and a second group of combing heads, consisting of adjacent combing heads, forms the right side portion of the row of all combing heads arranged side by side in the frame. In this respect, the grouping of combing heads operating in staggered phases is constructed on both sides, and the row of combing heads forms the transverse axis of the frame, which forms the longitudinal extension of the combing machine in a manner known per se. Therefore, the two groups of combing heads operating in staggered phases are distributed on the longitudinal extension to form a row of left and right sides, and the left side portion of the combing heads (e.g., four) operates in staggered phases with the right side portion of the combing heads (again, for example, four).

[0017] For example, the first set of combing heads has a common first drive input shaft, which is effectively connected to the first transmission mechanism, and it is specified that the second set of combing heads has a common second drive input shaft, which is effectively connected to the second transmission mechanism. Therefore, only one possible variation is presented, in which the combing head sets are interconnected via a common drive input shaft, wherein the torque curve of the drive input shaft of the first set of combing heads can partially compensate for the torque curve of the drive input shaft of the second set of combing heads by generating a phase shift.

[0018] Each combing head has a clamping shaft. It is conceivable that the clamping shafts of the first set of combing heads are constructed as a common clamping shaft, and the clamping shafts of the second set of combing heads can be constructed as another common clamping shaft. Therefore, a first clamping shaft and a second clamping shaft are derived, and all combing heads are connected to both, operating in phases that can be compensated for by a coupled transmission mechanism. For example, the oscillating motion of the first clamping shaft can run in the opposite direction to the oscillating motion of the second clamping shaft.

[0019] Each combing head also has a circular comb shaft, wherein the circular comb shafts of the first group of combing heads are connected to form a common first circular comb shaft, and wherein the circular comb shafts of the second group of combing heads are connected to form a common second circular comb shaft. Therefore, the circular comb shafts can also compensate for each other. The circular comb shafts may be coupled to the clamping plate shaft and to the shaft of the separating cylinder, thereby, through the coupling of the circular comb shafts, the discontinuous operation of the cylinders of each group of combing heads can be mutually compensated during their operation.

[0020] In principle, it is possible that the individual shafts of the combing head are coupled to each other only discontinuously for each combing head via their associated drive input shafts, and alternatively, it is possible that other sub-shafts of the combing head (e.g., the nipper shaft, the comb shaft, or the shaft of the separator) are coupled to each other, wherein such coupling can be implemented in groups. In this regard, the first or second transmission mechanism may drive only the corresponding drive input shaft of the combing head, or the first and second transmission mechanisms may be configured such that they have already driven the individual shafts of the combing head individually in groups.

[0021] Advantageously, both the first and second transmission mechanisms have pre-tensioned meshing portions to enable seamless load changes. In particular, when the acceleration and deceleration phases of the discontinuous operation of the combing head's shaft must compensate for each other, a reversing torque is generated within a short period of each combing cycle. This reversing torque must be achieved through the transmission mechanism. In this respect, the pre-tensioned meshing portions of the transmission mechanism enable direct torque changes without generating reversing intervals. The pre-tensioned meshing portions can be implemented, for example, using a three-sprocket tensioning principle or a similar principle.

[0022] The phase shift between the combing cycles of the first and second combing heads can be arbitrarily changed and adjusted. It is also conceivable that the phase shift can be continuously adjusted or readjusted during the operation of the comber based on the minimum power consumption as a reference variable, for example, by measuring or monitoring the average power consumption.

[0023] Regarding the overall structure of the combing machine, it is advantageous that the frame has a left side wall and a right side wall, wherein the first transmission mechanism is disposed in or on the left side wall, and the second transmission mechanism is disposed in or on the right side wall. Therefore, the first set of combing heads is disposed adjacent to the left side wall, and the second set of combing heads is disposed adjacent to the right side wall. Here, there is essentially no shaft or other transmission device extending between the left and right combing head sets, and only the main shaft for coupling the two transmission mechanisms extends across the entire width of the frame and therefore also extends between the left and right side walls.

[0024] Finally, it is also advantageous that the drive input shafts, nipper shafts, and / or comb shafts, and / or other transmission shafts of the first and second groups of combing heads are aligned with each other. It is also advantageous that the drive input shafts, nipper shafts, and / or comb shafts, and / or other transmission shafts of the first and second groups of combing heads are staggered from each other in their extending directions. This results in minimal oscillation, where, in particular, balance shafts can be provided, coupled, for example, to a portion of the main shaft between the first and second transmission mechanisms, such that minimal or no torque is generated around the longitudinal or vertical axis of the combing machine.

[0044] Implementation Scheme 14: The combing machine (100) according to one of the above implementation schemes, wherein the drive input shafts (18L, 18R), nipper shafts (19L, 19R) and / or round comb shafts (20L, 20R) and / or other transmission shafts of the combing heads (11) of the first group (I) and the second group (II) are aligned with each other.

[0046] The combing head 11 in Figure 1 is driven by a drive input shaft 18, which has an additional central shaft 23 driven by the drive input shaft 18 via a gear series. The drive input shaft 18 rotates continuously here. A clamping plate drive mechanism 26 is located on the central shaft 23, to which a clamping plate shaft 19, driven by a crank rocker arm 24, is connected. This clamping plate shaft ultimately drives an upper clamping plate drive mechanism 30. The upper clamping plate can be driven by the clamping plate driven shaft 29 via the upper clamping plate drive mechanism 30, and the lower clamping plate of the clamping plate mechanism of the combing head 11 is driven on the clamping plate driven shaft 19. Additional drive shafts of an auxiliary drive mechanism 27 are connected to the drive input shaft 18, through which additional shafts or rollers can be driven, especially for transporting fiber fibers after the combing process. For example, the auxiliary drive mechanism 27 can drive benchtop pressure rollers, feed rollers, and similar devices, thus allowing the use of the drive power of the main drive motor for this purpose. In addition, the rotational moment of inertia is increased, which makes the transmission run more smoothly, and in particular, the power of the oscillating mass can be better compensated by the central drive.

[0047] The comb head 11 also has a planetary gear transmission mechanism 28, through which the separating roller 22 is driven to perform Pilgerschrittbewegung motion.

[0048] Figure 2 schematically illustrates a combing machine 100 having a frame 10, which includes sidewall portions 21 and, for example, eight combing heads 11 arranged side-by-side between the sidewall portions 21. All combing heads 11 are driven by a single main drive motor 12 via a centrally located transmission mechanism 5, as per this embodiment, wherein the combing heads 11 are driven in groups and are located in equal numbers on the left and right sides of the transmission mechanism 5.

[0049] The first group is labeled I and the second group is labeled II. The comb heads 11 of both groups I and II are distributed equally on both sides of the transmission mechanism 5, so that the transmission mechanism 5 is centrally located between groups I and II of the comb heads 11. The transmission mechanism 5 is effectively connected to the main drive motor 12 by means of the main shaft 15.

[0050] According to this embodiment, the main drive motor 12 directly drives a single transmission mechanism 5, which in turn drives the various shafts 18, 19, and 20 for the working drum. The transmission mechanism 5 is designed such that the shafts 18, 19, and 20, which are exemplarily shown moving into the combing head 11, are driven in a phase-shifted manner.

[0051] Therefore, the diagram shows an example of the comb head 11 being coupled via the output side of the transmission mechanism 5, and further via the drive input shaft 18, and via the cleaver shaft 19 and the round comb shaft 20. The drive input shaft 18 is thus divided into a first drive input shaft 18L coupled to the first transmission mechanism 5 and a second drive input shaft 18R also coupled to the transmission mechanism 5. Here, the cleaver shaft 19 is similarly divided into a first cleaver shaft 19L and a second cleaver shaft 19R, with the first cleaver shaft 19L coupled to the transmission mechanism 5 on a first side and the second cleaver shaft 19R coupled to the transmission mechanism 5 on an opposite second side. The round comb shaft 20 is divided into a first round comb shaft 20L and a second round comb shaft 20R for connection to the transmission mechanism 5.

[0052] The view only shows the coupling of a single shaft of the comb head 11 with the transmission mechanism 5 as an example. These single shafts can also be other shafts, such as the shaft on which the separator 22 is mounted or the shaft that drives the separator.

[0053] Figure 3 A modified embodiment of a combing machine 100 is shown, which has a frame 10 and, for example, eight combing heads 11. According to this embodiment, all combing heads 11 are also driven by a single main drive motor 12, wherein the combing heads 11 are driven in groups by means of two transmission mechanisms 5.

[0054] In this respect, the first group I combing head 11 is driven connected to the main drive motor 12 via the first transmission mechanism 13, and the second group II combing head 11 is driven connected to the main drive motor 12 via the second transmission mechanism 14. The first group I and the second group II of combing heads 11 are located between the two outer sidewall portions 21 of the frame 10. According to the view, the first transmission mechanism 13 is housed in the left sidewall portion 21 and the second transmission mechanism 14 is housed in the right sidewall portion 21.

[0055] The main drive motor 12 directly drives not only the first transmission mechanism 13 but also the second transmission mechanism 14 via the main shaft 15. The main shaft 15 extends between the left and right sidewalls and connects the left transmission mechanism 13 and the right transmission mechanism 14 together.

[0056] An adjustment device 16 is provided in the spindle 15, which can change the phase of the first part 15L of the spindle 15 relative to the phase of the second part 15R of the spindle 15. Here, the phase change occurs about axis 17, which forms the rotation axis of the spindle 15.

[0057] The diagram illustrates an example of the comb head 11 being coupled to transmission mechanisms 13 and 14 via a drive input shaft 18 and via a cleaver shaft 19 and a round comb shaft 20. The drive input shaft 18 is thus divided into a first drive input shaft 18L coupled to the first transmission mechanism 13 and a second drive input shaft 18R coupled to the transmission mechanism 14. Similarly, the cleaver shaft 19 is divided into a first cleaver shaft 19L and a second cleaver shaft 19R, with the first cleaver shaft 19L coupled to the transmission mechanism 13 and the second cleaver shaft 19R coupled to the transmission mechanism 14. The round comb shaft 20 is divided into a first round comb shaft 20L and a second round comb shaft 20R for connection to either the transmission mechanism 13 or the transmission mechanism 14.

[0058] The views only exemplarily illustrate the coupling of the various components of the comb head 11 with the drive mechanisms 13 and 14. In the simplest case, the drive mechanisms 13 and 14 may be connected to a common drive input shaft 18 only through the respective groups of comb heads 11, where each comb head 11 forms a separate unit, as shown in FIG1. ​​In this respect, the views only exemplarily illustrate the coupling of a single shaft of the comb head 11 with the drive mechanisms 13 and 14; these single shafts may also be other shafts, such as the shaft on which the separator cartridge 22 is mounted or the shaft that drives the separator cartridge.

[0059] It should be mentioned that the first group I combing heads 11 and the second group II combing heads 11 can also be arranged alternately, so that the combing heads 11 operating in phase-shifted manner are always adjacent to each other. Therefore, the combing heads 11 can be arranged side-by-side and operate in phase-shifted manner using corresponding connections with the two shaft portions 15L and 15R, but these combing heads are driven by other shaft portions 15L and 15R respectively. In this respect, a sequence of combing heads 15 can be formed, which, in the case of eight combing heads 11, are further driven according to a grouping arrangement of I-II - I-II - I-II - I-II. Therefore, based on the smooth operation effect of an 8-cylinder or 12-cylinder reciprocating piston engine, even smoother operation can be achieved.

[0060] at last, Figure 4 An illustrative diagram shows the power consumption P of the main drive motor 12 with respect to time t. Here, the graphs show two power consumptions, PL and PR, with PL corresponding to the first group of comb heads 11 on the left and PR corresponding to the second group of comb heads 11 on the right. As the trends of PL and PR indicate, they compensate for each other above and below the zero line, such that, for example, the acceleration phase (acceleration phase) of the first group I comb heads 11 can compensate for the deceleration phase (deceleration phase) of the second group II comb heads 11. The result is a significant saving in total power consumption because the motion phases of the comb heads can compensate for each other in terms of their power requirements (not only in terms of power consumption but also in terms of power output, i.e., acceleration and deceleration).

[0061] The invention is not limited in its implementation to the preferred embodiments given above. Rather, multiple variations are conceivable, which also utilize the solution in principle in different types of embodiments. All features and / or advantages derived from the claims, description, or drawings, including structural details or spatial arrangements, are essential to the invention not only in themselves but also in a variety of combinations.
