TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of yarn tensioning mechanism, in particular to a core-spun yarn carding and drawing device with core yarn tension self-adjustment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of core-spun yarn, carding and drawing is a key pretreatment process, which functions to evenly card the core yarn and the outer wrapping fiber and preliminarily combine them into a sliver, laying a foundation for subsequent cabling (such as twisting). This process usually involves yarn conveying, guiding, tensioning, and finally outputting. Among them, stable and reliable tension control is crucial to ensure uniform combination of core yarn and outer wrapping fiber and prevent yarn slackening or excessive stretching. Traditional core-spun yarn carding and drawing devices often use mechanical tensioning wheels or pneumatic pressurizing mechanisms (such as Chinese Patent No. 202221817575.9) to achieve yarn tensioning. The tensioning structure adopts a ring array of tensioning pieces, and the tensioning power is provided by a gas cylinder. When the tensioning force is relaxed, the gas cylinder simultaneously provides gas to the tensioning pieces, causing them to simultaneously perform radial tensioning action.

Gas pipes need to be set up between the cylinder and each tensioning piece. When the cylinder is exhausted, it cannot guarantee that each gas pipe has the same amount of gas intake, and it cannot guarantee that the tensioning pieces make tensioning action with the same amplitude, resulting in uneven radial tensioning force; 2. When the yarn is accidentally broken, the broken end will be wrapped inside the tensioning spring, causing the equipment to jam, making it difficult to clean, and even causing safety hazards. If the front end of the active conveying wheel cannot be stopped in time, the yarn will accumulate, entangle, or even knot at the guide wheel and tensioning wheel. SUMMARY

It is to be understood that the above-referenced drawings depict only typical embodiments of the present application and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope.

[0016] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-5 The embodiment provides a core yarn combing and drawing device with core yarn tension self-adjustment, which comprises a fixed plate 1, a driving wheel 2, a guide wheel 3 and a tensioning mechanism are installed on the front of the fixed plate 1, the driving wheel 2 is provided with an electric driving device, the tensioning mechanism is located between the driving wheel 2 and the guide wheel 3, a hollow seat 4 is arranged on the fixed plate 1, the tensioning mechanism comprises a vortex spring 6 arranged in the hollow seat 4, a swing arm 5 is connected to the hollow seat 4, the swing arm 5 is connected to the vortex spring 6 at the connecting end, the tensioning mechanism further comprises a tensioning wheel 7 arranged on the other end of the swing arm 5, the tensioning wheel 7 extends to the guide wheel 3, a triggering mechanism 8 is arranged in the hollow seat 4, the triggering mechanism 8 is arranged on the swing arm 5 and in contact with the rotating end of the swing arm 5, the triggering mechanism 8 is electrically connected to the electric driving device, and is used for triggering a signal to the electric driving device when the rotating end of the swing arm 5 rotates to a specific position due to the contraction of the vortex spring 6.

[0017] The electric driving device drives the driving wheel 2 to rotate, so that the yarn is conveyed towards the guide wheel 3, the output end of the yarn is spliced between the two guide wheels 3, and finally output to the next splicing process such as a twisting machine to complete the strand. The embodiment mainly improves the tensioning function.

[0018] Structurally, the cavity of the hollow seat 4 is used as a containing chamber of the vortex spring 6, the vortex spring 6 is used as an elastic tensioning body, the vortex spring 6 is arranged in the hollow seat 4, the external occupied space is greatly reduced, and the structure is simple. Since the vortex spring 6 is arranged and set, the thread end will not be clamped into the spring when the thread breaks, and the safety performance is high. The tensioning wheel 7 is arranged on the swing arm 5, the rotating end of the swing arm 5 is connected to the hollow seat 4, the swing arm 5 lengthens the tensioning distance, so that the tensioning wheel 7 is closer to the splicing position, the vortex spring 6 provides tension to the swing arm 5 with a radial variable, the rear end of the vortex spring 6 is fixed in the hollow seat 4, the front end of the vortex spring 6 is connected to the rotating end of the swing arm 5, and the rotating end of the swing arm 5 is connected to the hollow seat 4, which provides stable rotation conditions for the rotating end of the swing arm 5 from the connecting position, and also avoids the bending and deformation of the vortex spring 6, thereby improving the service life.

[0019] ​Functionally: by setting the trigger mechanism 8 in the hollow seat 4, when the yarn is broken due to excessive tension or excessive tension, the trigger mechanism 8 triggers the power-off of the electric drive device, avoiding violent winding or bunching of the yarn. The trigger power of the trigger mechanism 8 comes from the rotating end of the swing arm 5, and the principle is as follows: in the normal state, the radial expansion of the vortex spring 6 has a radial contraction potential, and the vortex spring 6 provides a counterclockwise rotation potential to the swing arm 5 by using the radial contraction potential. The tensioning wheel 7 is pressed on the yarn under the action of the rotation potential of the swing arm 5, so as to provide tension to the yarn, and when the yarn is relaxed, the vortex spring 6 will automatically adjust the radial expansion force and automatically adjust the radial contraction potential, so as to ensure that the swing arm 5 continuously presses the tensioning wheel 7 on the yarn and continuously provides tension. Conversely, when the yarn is broken, the tension balance of the tensioning wheel 7 will be broken, the vortex spring 6 will rapidly contract radially, the swing arm 5 will rapidly rotate clockwise, the trigger mechanism 8 will rapidly move, the electric drive device will rapidly power off, and the driving wheel 2 will rapidly stop working. The yarn stops conveying. The trigger mechanism 8 is arranged in the hollow seat 4, has a storage function, and links the action condition of the trigger mechanism 8 to the tensioning mechanism. The trigger effect is obvious, quick, and has high safety performance. When the yarn is accidentally broken, the power can be quickly stopped, the yarn conveying is stopped, the broken yarn is prevented from being wound into the tensioning spring, the equipment is prevented from being stuck and safety hazards are prevented. After the quick stop, the yarn will not be accumulated, wound and knotted at the guide wheel and the tensioning wheel.

[0020] As shown in Figure 4 , in another embodiment, a guide rail 11 is installed on the fixed plate 1, an adjustment seat 12 is installed on the guide rail 11, a screw rod 13 is installed in the guide rail 11, and the adjustment seat 12 is drivingly connected to the screw rod 13. The hollow seat 4 is installed on the adjustment seat 12, and the adjustment seat 12 can drive the hollow seat 4 to move linearly under the driving of the screw rod 13.

[0021] In this embodiment, the guide rail 11 provides the adjustment seat 12 with a motion installation condition. The rotation of the hand wheel drives the rotation of the screw rod 13, and the adjustment seat 12 is driven by the screw rod 13 to move relative to the tensioning side of the yarn, so that the hollow seat 4 drives the tensioning wheel 7 to adjust the tension on the yarn. When the yarn is broken, the tension of the tensioning wheel 7 can be adjusted manually to reduce the tension, so as to meet the tensioning requirements of different types of yarn. By adjusting the tension within a reasonable range, the frequency of yarn breakage is reduced, and the tensioning degree required when the yarn is output and cabled is ensured.

[0022] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown in another embodiment, the hollow seat 4 is composed of a cylinder seat 9 and a fixing seat 10, the fixing seat 10 is detachably fixed on the rear end of the cylinder seat 9, the fixing seat 10 is fixed on the adjusting seat 12 as a fixed end, and the rotating end of the swing arm 5 is connected to the front end of the cylinder seat 9; the spiral spring 6 is conical, and the spiral spring 6 is located in the cylinder cavity of the cylinder seat 9, the large-diameter end of the spiral spring 6 is connected to the fixing seat 10, and the small-diameter end of the spiral spring 6 is connected to the rotating end of the swing arm 5.

The rotating end of the swing arm 5 is away from the tensioning wheel 7, so that the rotating position and the tensioning position are away from each other, which not only prolongs the tensioning distance, but also avoids that the thread end is wound on the spring or the rotating position when the thread breaks.

[0025] In the embodiment, the cam plate 14 is a driving part for triggering the action of the trigger mechanism 8, and the contact switch 15 is a command back driving part. When the thread breaks, the resistance force acting on the tensioning wheel 7 by the yarn disappears instantaneously, the swing arm 5 rotates clockwise, the cam plate 14 rotates clockwise with the swing arm 5, and the cam plate 14 instantaneously contacts the contact switch 15, the normally closed contact of the contact switch 15 is opened, the electric driving device is powered off, the driving wheel 2 stops rotating, and the yarn stops conveying. The cam plate 14 is installed on the rotating end of the swing arm 5, and serves as a linkage component for triggering the contact switch 15 instantaneously when the thread breaks, so that the contact switch 15 is powered off rapidly, the tensioning function is combined with the emergency stop protection, the emergency stop triggering mode is a pure mechanical contact, and the circuit and components are saved.

[0027] As Figure 3 shown, the back of the fixed plate 1 is provided with a motor bracket 16, and the electric driving device is a motor 17 installed on the motor bracket 16, the driving wheel 2 is drivingly connected to the power output shaft of the motor 17, and the motor 17 provides power to the driving wheel 2 alone, and the driving wheel 2 provides conveying power to the yarn, and the motor 17 can also be understood as an electric driving force in the previous process (for example, a yarn machine).
