Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel wire ring cleaning technology, and more specifically, to a steel wire ring cleaning structure for spinning machines. Background Technology
[0002] A spinning frame is a key piece of equipment in the textile industry used to process roving into fine yarn. Its main function is to draw the roving into fine yarn suitable for weaving or knitting through processes such as drafting, twisting, and winding. The yarn is stretched through a series of rollers, while rotating components add appropriate twist to the yarn, giving it a certain strength and elasticity.
[0003] In a ring spinning frame, the ring and traveler are two very important components. The ring is usually installed below the front roller and mainly serves as the track for the traveler. The traveler is the moving part that fits onto the ring and rotates with the traction of the yarn. The main function of the traveler is to twist the yarn and wind the twisted yarn onto the bobbin.
[0004] In actual production, friction is generated due to the rotation of the traveler caused by the yarn, which results in the so-called "wrapping" phenomenon. This means that the yarn forms irregular entanglements or accumulations around the traveler. Wrapping causes the yarn to experience additional friction and uneven tension distribution when passing through the traveler, which increases the risk of yarn breakage. Frequent yarn breakage not only reduces production efficiency but also increases the workload of operators, greatly affecting the normal operation of the spinning machine and the quality of the final yarn.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cleaning structure for the traveler of a spinning machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning structure for the steel traveler of a spinning machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A ring spinning frame traveler cleaning structure, installed on the main body of the ring spinning frame, wherein the main body of the ring spinning frame is provided with a ring and a partition, and the ring is provided with a traveler, comprising:
[0009] A fixing block has a waist-shaped hole, and the main body of the spinning machine has a threaded hole that matches the waist-shaped hole;
[0010] A fixing bolt, adapted to the threaded hole, is used to fix the fixing block to the main body of the spinning machine;
[0011] The cleaning block has one end connected to the fixed block and the other end provided with multiple cleaning teeth.
[0012] Furthermore, a support plate is provided on the partition, and a pressure block is provided on the support plate. The pressure block is located above the fixing block, and a connecting component is provided between the pressure block and the support plate.
[0013] Furthermore, the connection component includes:
[0014] An outer rod is provided on the support plate;
[0015] The inner rod is elastically inserted into the outer rod at one end and connected to the pressure block at the other end.
[0016] Furthermore, the outer sleeve rod has a sliding cavity that is slidably connected to the inner sleeve rod, and an elastic element is provided between the end of the inner sleeve rod and the inner wall of the sliding cavity.
[0017] Furthermore, a limiting groove is formed on the inner wall of the sliding cavity, and a slider connected to the inner rod is slidably provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove.
[0018] Furthermore, the support plate is provided with multiple outer and inner rods, and connecting rods are provided between adjacent inner rods.
[0019] Furthermore, the main body of the spinning machine is also equipped with a dust suction pipe, which is connected to multiple serpentine tubes, and the ends of the serpentine tubes are equipped with dust suction hoppers.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0021] In this solution, after the fixing block is installed on one side of the corresponding ring on the main body of the spinning machine, when the main body of the spinning machine is running, the yarn drives the traveler to rotate along the ring. After a period of time, when clumps of clumps are generated on the traveler, when the clumps of clumps rotate to the position of the cleaning teeth, the cleaning teeth will scrape off the clumps, achieving a cleaning effect on the traveler. This avoids the presence of clumps, which would cause the yarn to be subjected to additional friction and uneven tension, significantly reducing the risk of yarn breakage, reducing the number of times the yarn needs to be manually handled, reducing the burden on the workers, improving the production efficiency of the spinning machine, enabling the spinning machine to run for a longer period of time, improving the quality of the yarn, and has high practicality and good performance.
[0022] After unscrewing the fixing bolts from the threaded holes in the main body of the spinning machine, the fixing block can be moved horizontally and its angle can be adjusted by rotating it. This changes the position of the cleaning teeth, allowing for adjustment of the cleaning teeth according to specific needs to achieve the best cleaning effect. It is highly flexible and has a wide range of applications. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-5 A ring spinning machine traveler cleaning structure is installed on the main body 1 of the ring spinning machine. The main body 1 of the ring spinning machine is provided with a ring 2 and a partition 3. A traveler 4 is provided on the ring 2. The structure includes:
[0032] The fixing block 5 has a waist-shaped hole 6, and the main body 1 of the spinning machine has a threaded hole that matches the waist-shaped hole 6.
[0033] The fixing bolt 7 is adapted to the threaded hole and is used to fix the fixing block 5 to the main body 1 of the spinning machine;
[0034] The cleaning block 8 has one end connected to the fixed block 5 and the other end is provided with multiple cleaning teeth 9.
[0035] In use, the fixing block 5 is installed on one side of the corresponding steel ring 2 on the main body 1 of the spinning machine, and the cleaning teeth 9 of the cleaning block 8 are facing the steel ring 4. The distance between the cleaning teeth 9 and the steel ring 4 is adjusted. After the position of the cleaning teeth 9 is adjusted, the fixing bolt 7 is passed through the waist-shaped hole 6 of the fixing block 5 and the fixing bolt 7 is inserted into the threaded hole of the main body 1 of the spinning machine. The fixing block 5 is then pressed by the fixing bolt 7, and the fixing block 5 is fixed on the main body 1 of the spinning machine. When the main body 1 of the spinning frame is running, the yarn drives the traveler 4 to rotate along the ring 2. When the traveler 4 rotates, it does not interfere with the cleaning teeth 9. However, after a period of time, when clumps of yarn accumulate on the traveler 4, they will form clumps at the friction points of the yarn on the traveler 4. When the clumps of yarn accumulate and rotate to the position of the cleaning teeth 9, the cleaning teeth 9 will scrape off the clumps, thus cleaning the traveler 4 and avoiding the presence of clumps that would cause the yarn to experience additional friction and uneven tension. This significantly reduces the risk of yarn breakage, reduces the number of times the yarn needs to be manually handled, reduces the burden on the workers, improves the production efficiency of the spinning frame, allows the spinning frame to run for a longer period of time, improves the quality of the yarn, and has high practicality and good performance.
[0036] The fixing bolt 7 can be unscrewed from the threaded hole of the spinning machine body 1. Then, the fixing block 5 can be moved horizontally and its angle can be adjusted by rotating it, thereby changing the position of the cleaning teeth 9. The cleaning teeth 9 can be adjusted according to specific needs to achieve the best cleaning effect. It is highly flexible and has a wide range of applications. After adjustment, the fixing block 5 is fixed by the engagement of the fixing bolt 7 with the threaded hole.
[0037] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-3 The main body 1 of the spinning frame is also equipped with a dust suction pipe 18, which is connected to multiple serpentine tubes 19. The ends of the serpentine tubes 19 are equipped with dust suction hoppers 20. With this design, during the operation of the main body 1 of the spinning frame, the dust suction hopper 20 is positioned at the cleaning teeth 9. When the cleaning teeth 9 scrape off the fuzz from the traveler 4, the negative pressure in the dust suction pipe 18 will suck up the scraped fuzz through the dust suction hopper 20 and finally draw it to a unified collection point through the dust suction pipe 18. This can prevent the fuzz from flying around, improve the cleaning effect of the workshop and the main body 1 of the spinning frame, and reduce the impact of fuzz on the equipment.
[0038] When adjusting the position of the fixing block 5 and the cleaning tooth 9, it is necessary to first unscrew the fixing bolt 7, then adjust the position of the cleaning tooth 9, and then tighten the fixing bolt 7 again to fix the cleaning tooth 9. After that, run the main body 1 of the spinning machine to test the effect of the adjustment of the cleaning tooth 9. If further adjustment is needed, the fixing bolt 7 must be tightened again to repeat the operation until the cleaning tooth 9 is adjusted to the correct position. However, repeatedly tightening the fixing bolt 7 is cumbersome, time-consuming, and laborious, and can easily cause problems such as stripping and instability of the fixing bolt 7. Therefore, the following improvements have been made to address this issue:
[0039] Please see Figure 1-3 and Figure 5 A support plate 10 is provided on the partition 3. The support plate 10 is provided with a pressure block 11. The pressure block 11 is located above the fixing block 5. A connecting component 12 is provided between the pressure block 11 and the support plate 10.
[0040] This design allows for adjustments to the positions of the fixing block 5 and the cleaning teeth 9. By loosening the fixing bolt 7, the pressure block 11 can be moved upwards away from the fixing block 5. The distance and angle of the fixing block 5 can then be adjusted. After adjusting the position of the cleaning teeth 9, the pressure block 11 is released. At this point, the pressure block 11 presses against the fixing block 5 via the connecting component 12, thus holding the fixing block 5 and the cleaning teeth 9 in their positions, achieving a limiting effect. The spinning machine body 1 can then be run to test the effect of the adjusted cleaning teeth 9. If further adjustment is needed, the pressure block 11 can be lifted away from the fixing block 5, and the positions of the fixing block 5 and the cleaning teeth 9 can be adjusted again. This process is repeated until the cleaning teeth 9 are adjusted to the optimal position. Finally, the fixing block 5 is secured with the fixing bolt 7. This eliminates the need for repeatedly tightening the fixing bolt 7, saving time and effort, reducing labor and time, and effectively reducing problems such as stripping and instability of the fixing bolt 7, resulting in good performance.
[0041] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2-3 and Figure 5 The connecting component 12 includes:
[0042] Outer rod 121 is mounted on support plate 10;
[0043] The inner rod 122 is elastically inserted into the outer rod 121 at one end, and connected to the pressure block 11 at the other end.
[0044] With this design, when the inner rod 122 is moved upward, the inner rod 122 will slide along the inner side of the outer rod 121, and the inner rod 122 will drive the pressure block 1 to move; when the inner rod 122 is released, the inner rod 122 will elastically reset, and the inner rod 122 will drive the pressure block 11 back to the initial position, that is, it will press on the fixed block 5.
[0045] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5The outer rod 121 has a sliding cavity 13 that is slidably connected to the inner rod 122. An elastic element 14 is provided between the end of the inner rod 122 and the inner wall of the sliding cavity 13. In this application, the elastic element 14 can be a spring or a damping element. With this design, when the inner rod 122 moves upward, it will move upward along the sliding cavity 13 and compress the elastic element 14. When the inner rod 122 is released, the rebound force of the elastic element 14 will drive the inner rod 122 to move downward and reset.
[0046] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 The inner wall of the sliding cavity 13 is provided with a limiting groove 15. A slider 16 connected to the inner rod 122 is slidably provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove 15. With this design, when the inner rod 122 moves in the sliding cavity 13, it will drive the slider 16 to slide along the limiting groove 15. This not only improves the stability of the movement of the inner rod 122, but also restricts the inner rod 122 and prevents the inner rod 122 from leaving the sliding cavity 13.
[0047] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-3 Multiple outer rods 121 and inner rods 122 are provided on the support plate 10, and connecting rods 17 are provided between adjacent inner rods 122. This design, through multiple inner rods 122 and pressure blocks 11, can further improve the clamping and limiting effect on the fixed block 5, reducing the possibility of the fixed block 5 shaking. By moving the connecting rods 17, multiple inner rods 122 can be moved together easily.
