Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application entitled "Drawing machine and control method for yarn drawing without head and tail adhesion when changing yarn bobbins". The original application was filed on August 3, 2022, and the application number is 202210928076.5. Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the field of yarn drawing machine technology, specifically to a yarn drawing machine and control method that prevents the beginning and end yarns from sticking together when changing bobbins. Background Technology

[0003] In the current fiberglass furnace drawing process, the yarn is pushed to the end of the V-groove by a pusher rod and wound onto the yarn ring by a hook or a threaded groove. Although our company has patents for yarn-free cutting and slow-drawing automatic yarn-loading online yarn-free transition mechanism, the ends of the yarn stuck together between yarn bundles are not cut, making it difficult for the robotic arm to work. Manual cutting and separation are necessary before the robotic arm can retrieve the yarn. This human-machine collaboration poses safety hazards, cannot achieve automation, and results in frequent waste yarn from full-bore changes and automatic loading, wasting time, materials, and energy. Even more troublesome is the difficulty in handling this waste yarn; a rough estimate suggests that each drawing machine generates at least two to three tons, and sometimes four to five tons, of waste yarn per year. The air consumption of the pusher cylinder is also wasted.

[0004] With societal progress, harsh working conditions, safety, energy conservation, and waste yarn disposal have become top priorities. Some large companies have entered the era of intelligent manufacturing. For example, in the yarn drawing area, fully automated, enclosed robots replace manual operations. This requires seamless integration between the robotic arm and the drawing machine. However, the condition for no human intervention is that each yarn spool must be free of end-to-end yarn adhesion and require no cutting of the starting yarn. Only then can the robotic arm remove each yarn spool from the machine head and place it onto the yarn cart for the next process. Furthermore, the drawing machine's body is limited by the compact kiln structure, restricting the distance between the two machine heads and preventing the drawing of extremely large yarn spools and extremely long yarn lengths. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a yarn drawing machine and control method that eliminates the sticking of start and end yarns during yarn changing. It primarily addresses the problems in existing technologies where robotic arms struggle to handle stuck start and end yarns between yarn spools and to remove the start yarn from the upper yarn ring. This invention features a compact and simple structure, easy operation, energy saving, and high safety and efficiency. It solves the problems of robotic arms struggling to handle stuck start and end yarns between yarn spools and being unable to draw very large yarn spools and very long yarn lengths, avoiding safety hazards for operators and achieving unmanned yarn drawing. This invention encompasses all yarn drawing machines and yarn drawing processes.

[0012] Preferably, the yarn grabber is a needle-punched yarn grabber or a toothed yarn grabber, and the yarn grabber is arranged in the middle of each yarn ball or on the outside of each yarn ball.

[0013] Preferably, the swing arm drive assembly is provided above the working head. The swing arm drive assembly includes a movable isolation plate, a linkage swing arm, a synchronous belt, an over / under swing cylinder, an actuator III fixed seat, a pull rod, a servo worm gear motor III, and a sector worm wheel III. A protective plate is provided on the linkage swing arm, and the upper head wire stop rod is provided in the middle of the outer side of the linkage swing arm. The upper head wire stop rod is used when the wire grabber is arranged in the middle of each yarn ball.

[0014] Preferably, the rear end of the linkage swing arm is provided with a swing worm gear that is fixedly connected to the pivot pin of the linkage swing arm. The swing worm gear is provided with a fixed shaft that is fixedly connected to the frame. The upper end of the swing worm gear is provided with a worm that is fixedly connected to the pivot pin of the swing worm gear. The side of the swing worm gear is provided with a connecting rod that is movably sleeved with the fixed shaft. The lower end of the connecting rod is provided with a pull rod limiting seat. A pull rod that is movably inserted and limited between the pull rod limiting seat and the connecting rod is provided.

[0015] This invention also provides a control method for a yarn drawing machine that prevents the beginning and end yarns from sticking together when changing yarn bobbins, comprising the following process steps:

[0016] Step 1, Top-up: The upper-level drawing operator starts or automatically starts the slow-pulling mechanism of the drawing machine. The yarn automatically enters the slow-pulling mechanism and begins to be pulled. The yarn is guided to the yarn ring of the no-cut yarn by the upper-top guide rod. At this time, the working head starts to rotate and pull the yarn onto the yarn ring of the no-cut yarn. Then the upper-top guide rod follows the linkage swing arm to lift upward, and the yarn slides into the winding area. Alternatively, the upper-top guide rod uses the yarn-blocking assembly to rotate and let the yarn slide into the corresponding winding area to complete the top-up process.

[0017] Step 2, Head Change: Immediately following, the bobbin change begins by replacing the top yarn with the beginning and end yarns stuck together. This involves swapping the working head and the standby head, rotating them 180 degrees clockwise. When the yarn grabber is positioned outside the yarn bundle, a yarn-blocking assembly is required. During the swap, the yarn-blocking assembly's push rod, along with the yarn bundle push rod, pushes each bundle of yarn towards the outer yarn grabber. When the standby head is swapped to approximately 150 degrees, the yarn is captured by the standby head's yarn grabber. Simultaneously, the moving partition plate is vertically lowered by the linkage swing arm, causing the moving partition plate to change position between the standby head and the working head according to the yarn bundle diameter. The yarn is then normally drawn and wound into a yarn bundle in the winding area. At this point, the working head with the top yarn moves to the standby head position and stops. The pneumatic yarn grabber assembly and the yarn ring on the non-cutting yarn automatically retract, allowing the robotic arm to complete the bobbin removal process without manual yarn cutting.

[0018] Step 3, Full Bundle Change: After the working head draws the yarn to a full bundle, the change begins. At the same time, the moving isolation plate moves upward with the linkage swing arm to avoid the standby head. When the standby head is about 150 degrees away from the standby head, the yarn is captured by the yarn catcher of the standby head, or the yarn catcher on the outside of the yarn bundle is captured by the yarn pusher. After avoiding the standby head, the moving isolation plate quickly returns to the vertical swing arm and moves down to the side close to the empty head. This makes the moving isolation plate positioned between the standby head and the working head change with the diameter of the yarn bundle. The yarn is then normally drawn and wound into a full bundle in the winding area.

[0019] Step 4, Unloading the Bore: At this point, the working head of the full bobbin is switched to the standby head position and stops. The pneumatic yarn gripping assembly and the yarn ring on the non-cutting yarn automatically retract and disengage from the yarn bobbin. When the pneumatic yarn gripping assembly stops rotating on the main shaft, the air intake piston rod compresses the spring II, causing the yarn gripper to be lower than the surface of the expansion plate. Then, the yarn bobbin is picked up, realizing the yarn pulling without connecting the yarn bundles. This allows the robot arm to complete the yarn picking and unloading process without manual yarn cutting. Steps 3 and 4 are repeated. When the yarn breaks, steps 1 and 2 must be entered.

[0020] When the main shaft rotates, the pneumatic yarn gripper assembly does not take in air. Under the support of spring II and the action of centrifugal force, the piston rod makes the yarn gripper rise above the surface of the expansion plate and perform the yarn gripping process. When the full bobbin stops rotating, the air enters the air passage, the piston rod compresses spring II, and the yarn gripper falls below the surface of the expansion plate.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] The yarn drawing machine and control method of the present invention, which eliminates the adhesion between the beginning and end of the yarn when changing the yarn bundle, has the characteristics of compact and simple structure, simple operation, energy saving and consumption reduction, and safety and efficiency. It solves the problems that robotic arms have difficulty in handling the adhesion between the beginning and end of the yarn bundles and cannot draw ultra-large yarn bundles and ultra-long yarns, avoids safety hazards for operators, and truly realizes the unmanned yarn drawing process.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a control method for a yarn drawing machine that prevents the beginning and end yarns from sticking together when changing yarn bobbins, comprising the following process steps:

[0046] Step 1, Top-up: The upper drawing operator starts or automatically starts the slow-pulling mechanism 38 of the drawing machine. The yarn automatically enters the slow-pulling mechanism 38 and begins to be pulled. The yarn is guided to the yarn ring 15 of the non-cut yarn by the upper head guide rod 12. At this time, the working head 1 starts to rotate and pulls the yarn onto the yarn ring 15 of the non-cut yarn. Then the upper head guide rod 12 follows the linkage swing arm 5 to lift upward, and the yarn slides into the winding area. Alternatively, the upper head guide rod 12 uses the yarn-blocking assembly 7 to rotate and let the yarn slide into the corresponding winding area to complete the top-up process.

[0047] Step 2, Head Changing: Immediately following, the bobbin changing begins by replacing the top yarn with the ends stuck together. This involves swapping the working head 1 and the standby head 8, rotating them 180 degrees clockwise. When the yarn feeder 28 is positioned outside the yarn bundle, a yarn-blocking assembly 7 is added for coordination. During the swap, the push rod 14 in the yarn-blocking assembly 7, along with the outer push rod of the yarn bundle, pushes each bundle of yarn towards the outer yarn feeder 28. When the standby head 8 is swapped to approximately 150 degrees, the yarn is captured by the yarn feeder 28. Simultaneously, the moving isolation plate 3 is vertically lowered by the linkage swing arm 5, causing the moving isolation plate 3 to change position between the standby head 8 and the working head 1, varying with the yarn bundle diameter. The yarn is then normally drawn and wound into a bundle in the winding area. At this point, the working head 1, carrying the top yarn, moves to the position of the standby head 8 and stops. The pneumatic yarn feeder assembly 30 and the non-cutting yarn ring 15 automatically retract, allowing the robotic arm to complete the bobbin removal process without manual yarn cutting.

[0048] Step 3, Full Bundle Change: After the working head 1 draws the yarn to a full bundle, the change begins. At the same time, the moving isolation plate 3 moves upward with the linkage swing arm 5 to avoid the standby head 8. When the standby head 8 is about 150 degrees away from the standby head, the yarn is captured by the yarn grabber 28 of the standby head 8, or by the yarn pusher 14 causing the yarn grabber 28 on the outside of the yarn bundle to capture the yarn. After avoiding the yarn bundle, the moving isolation plate 3 is quickly returned by the linkage swing arm 5 to swing down vertically to the side close to the empty head. This makes the moving isolation plate 3 located between the standby head 8 and the working head 1, changing with the diameter of the yarn bundle. The yarn is normally drawn and wound into a full bundle in the winding area.

[0049] Step 4, Unloading the Bore: At this time, the working head 1 with the full bobbin is switched to the standby head 8 and stopped. The pneumatic yarn gripping assembly 30 and the yarn-on-the-bore ring 15 automatically retract and detach from the yarn bobbin. When the pneumatic yarn gripping assembly 30 stops rotating on the main shaft 18, the air intake piston rod 34 of the air passage 31 compresses the spring II 37, so that the yarn gripper 28 is lower than the surface of the expansion plate 17. Then the yarn bobbin is picked up, realizing the yarn-on-the-bore pull without connecting the yarn bundles. This allows the robot arm to complete the yarn picking and unloading process without manual yarn cutting. Steps 3 and 4 are repeated. When the yarn breaks, steps 1 and 2 need to be entered.

[0050] When the main shaft 18 rotates, the pneumatic yarn gripper assembly 30 does not take in air through the air passage 31. Under the support of the spring II 37 and the centrifugal force, the piston rod 34 makes the yarn gripper 28 higher than the surface of the expansion plate 17 to perform the yarn gripping process. When the full bobbin stops rotating, the air passage 31 takes in air, the piston rod 34 compresses the spring II 37, and the yarn gripper 28 is lower than the surface of the expansion plate 17.

[0051] In summary, the yarn drawing machine and control method of the present invention, which eliminates the adhesion between the beginning and end of the yarn when changing the yarn bundle, has the characteristics of compact and simple structure, simple operation, energy saving and consumption reduction, and safety and efficiency. It solves the problems that robotic arms have difficulty handling the adhesion between the beginning and end of the yarn bundles and cannot draw ultra-large yarn bundles and ultra-long yarns. It can avoid safety hazards for operators and truly realize the unmanned yarn drawing process.

[0052] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.

5. A control method for a yarn drawing machine that prevents the beginning and end yarns from sticking together during bobbin changing, characterized in that, The yarn drawing machine with no head and tail yarn adhesion during bobbin changing as described in claim 3 or 4 includes the following process steps: Step 1, Top-up: The upper-level drawing operator starts or automatically starts the slow-pulling mechanism (38) of the drawing machine. The yarn automatically enters the slow-pulling mechanism (38) and begins to be pulled. The yarn is guided to the yarn ring (15) of the non-cut yarn by the upper-level guide rod (12). At this time, the working head (1) starts to rotate the yarn to guide it onto the yarn ring (15) of the non-cut yarn. Then the upper-level guide rod (12) follows the linkage swing arm (5) to lift upward. The yarn slides into the winding area or the upper-level guide rod (12) uses the guide assembly (7) to rotate and let the yarn slide into the corresponding winding area to complete the top-up process. Step 2, Head Change: Immediately following the head change, the upper yarn with the beginning and end yarns sticking together is replaced. That is, the working head (1) and the standby head (8) are swapped and rotated 180 degrees clockwise. When the yarn grabber (28) is placed on the outside of the yarn bundle, a yarn blocking assembly (7) needs to be added to cooperate. During the swap, the push rod (14) in the yarn blocking assembly (7) pushes each bundle of yarn towards the outer yarn grabber (28). When the standby head (8) is swapped to about 150 degrees, the yarn is grabbed by the yarn grabber of the standby head (8). (28) Capture, and at the same time, the moving isolation plate (3) is vertically swung down by the linkage swing arm (5), so that the moving isolation plate (3) is located between the standby head (8) and the working head (1) and changes with the diameter of the yarn ball. The yarn is normally drawn and wound into a yarn ball in the winding area. At this time, the working head (1) with the yarn head is switched to the position of the standby head (8) and stopped. The pneumatic yarn gripping assembly (30) and the yarn ring (15) of the non-cut yarn automatically retract, and the robot can remove the yarn without manual cutting. Step 3, full bobbin change: After the working head (1) draws the yarn to a full bobbin, the bobbin change begins. At the same time, the moving isolation plate (3) moves upward with the linkage swing arm (5) to avoid the standby head (8). When the standby head (8) is swapped to about 150 degrees, the yarn is captured by the yarn grabber (28) of the standby head (8), or by the yarn grabber (28) on the outside of the yarn ball captured by the push rod (14). After avoiding the yarn ball, the moving isolation plate (3) is quickly returned to the vertical swing and close to the empty head by the linkage swing arm (5), so that the moving isolation plate (3) is located between the standby head (8) and the working head (1) and changes with the diameter of the yarn ball. The yarn is normally drawn and wound to a full bobbin in the winding area. Step 4, unloading the bobbin: At this time, the working head (1) of the full bobbin is switched to the standby head (8) and stopped. The pneumatic yarn gripping assembly (30) and the yarn ring (15) of the non-cut yarn automatically retract and separate from the yarn bobbin. When the pneumatic yarn gripping assembly (30) stops rotating on the main shaft (18), the air intake piston rod (34) of the air passage (31) compresses the spring II (37), so that the yarn gripper (28) is lower than the surface of the expansion plate (17). Then the yarn bobbin is picked up, realizing the yarn pulling without connecting the yarn bundles; so that the robot arm can complete the yarn picking and unloading process without manual yarn cutting and separation. The third and fourth steps are repeated. When the yarn breaks, the first and second steps need to be entered. When the pneumatic yarn gripping assembly (30) rotates on the main shaft (18), the air passage (31) does not take in air. Under the support of the spring II (37) and the centrifugal force, the piston rod (34) makes the yarn gripper (28) higher than the surface of the expansion plate (17) to perform the yarn gripping process. When the full bobbin stops rotating, the air passage (31) takes in air, the piston rod (34) compresses the spring II (37), and the yarn gripper (28) is lower than the surface of the expansion plate (17).
