Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the technical field of cradle assembly for spinning machines, and more specifically to a cradle assembly for the traction device of a spinning machine. Background Technology
[0002] The traction device (also known as the drafting device) of a spinning machine is one of the core components in the spinning process. Its main function is to draw the roving or sliver to the required fineness, straighten and parallel the fibers, and control the movement of the fibers to ensure the quality of the yarn.
[0003] The cradle assembly in the traction device applies pressure to the roller through a pressurizing device, so that the roller and the roller fit tightly together to form a roller-roller jaw, thereby holding the fiber bundle. During the spinning process, the back roller feeds in roving or sliver, the front roller rotates at a high speed, and the middle roller and the apron control the movement of the fiber under the action of the cradle, so that the fiber is gradually drawn and thinned in the drafting zone.
[0004] However, in practice, it has been noted that the pressure device at the end of the cradle is in close contact with the roller, and the reaction force will exert an upward force on the end of the cradle. Currently, most cradles are fitted onto the fixed rod of the spinning machine. When subjected to the reaction force for a long time, the cradle may rotate in the opposite direction on the fixed rod, which will affect the pressure of the pressure device. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cradle assembly for a traction device of a spinning machine. Through a ratchet mechanism at the connection point, the cradle assembly can be quickly locked, and the ratchet mechanism also prevents slippage of the cradle assembly when subjected to a reverse force, thereby ensuring the locking effect at the connection point. This solves the technical problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A cradle assembly for a traction device of a spinning machine includes a hollow fixed frame, a cradle housing on one side of the hollow fixed frame, and the cradle housing is movably connected to the hollow fixed frame via a locking ratchet shaft at the end.
[0008] The locking ratchet shaft includes a fixed shaft that passes through the end of the rocker arm housing, and a ratchet sleeve located inside the rocker arm housing is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed shaft.
[0009] A locking lever is provided above the ratchet sleeve, and the locking lever includes an L-shaped swing lever. One end of the L-shaped swing lever is provided with a ratchet pawl corresponding to the ratchet sleeve, and the ratchet pawl engages with the ratchet sleeve.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the end of the rocker arm housing is provided with a strip-shaped groove, and the end of the L-shaped swing rod extends through the strip-shaped groove to the inner side of the rocker arm housing.
[0011] The end of the L-shaped swing arm is fitted with a positioning shaft, and both ends of the positioning shaft are movably connected to the cradle housing.
[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the L-shaped swing arm is located above the rocker arm housing, and the end of the L-shaped swing arm near the ratchet pawl extends to the top of the ratchet sleeve.

Detailed Implementation
[0033] 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.
[0034] Please see Figure 1-10 This utility model embodiment provides a cradle assembly for a traction device of a spinning machine, including a hollow fixed frame 1, a cradle housing 2 on one side of the hollow fixed frame 1, and the cradle housing 2 is movably connected to the hollow fixed frame 1 through a locking ratchet shaft 6 at the end;
[0035] Among them, the locking ratchet shaft 6 includes a fixed shaft 61 that passes through the end of the rocker housing 2, and a ratchet sleeve 62 located inside the rocker housing 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed shaft 61.
[0036] A locking lever 3 is provided above the ratchet sleeve 62. The locking lever 3 includes an L-shaped swing lever 31, and one end of the L-shaped swing lever 31 is provided with a ratchet pawl 34 corresponding to the ratchet sleeve 62. The ratchet pawl 34 engages with the ratchet sleeve 62.
[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection between the rocker arm housing 2 and the hollow fixed frame 1 is fixed by the mutual meshing between the ratchet sleeve 62 and the ratchet pawl 34. When locking the position of the rocker arm housing 2, it is only necessary to rotate the rocker arm housing 2 downwards, without having to lift the locking rod 3 first, which facilitates the quick locking of the rocker arm housing 2 and the rocker arm.
[0038] Furthermore, the end of the rocker arm housing 2 is provided with a strip groove 7, and the end of the L-shaped swing rod 31 extends through the strip groove 7 to the inner side of the rocker arm housing 2.
[0039] The end of the L-shaped swing arm 31 is fitted with a positioning shaft 33, and both ends of the positioning shaft 33 are movably connected to the rocker arm housing 2.
[0040] Furthermore, the L-shaped swing arm 31 is located above the rocker arm housing 2, and one end of the L-shaped swing arm 31 near the ratchet pawl 34 extends above the ratchet sleeve 62.
[0041] More specifically, the end of the L-shaped swing arm 31 away from the ratchet pawl 34 is fixedly connected to a plastic handle 32, and both ends of the fixed shaft 61 at the other end of the L-shaped swing arm 31 are fixedly connected to the hollow fixed frame 1.
[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the plastic handle 32 is held and pressed down on the end of the L-shaped swing rod 31, causing the L-shaped swing rod 31 to rotate around the positioning shaft 33. This causes the ratchet pawl 34 at the other end of the L-shaped swing rod 31 to cooperate with the locking ratchet shaft 6, ensuring that the L-shaped swing rod 31 is subjected to a certain pressure downward, thereby improving the locking effect of the rocker assembly.
[0043] Furthermore, the end of the cradle housing 2 away from the hollow fixed frame 1 is fixedly connected to a leaf spring pressure frame 4 in a rectangular array, and each leaf spring pressure frame 4 is fixedly connected to a yarn guide holder 5 at the end away from the cradle housing 2.
[0044] Furthermore, the yarn guide holder 5 includes a U-shaped holder 51. The inner top of the U-shaped holder 51 is integrally provided with a positioning protrusion 53, and both ends of the positioning protrusion 53 are provided with inclined guide surfaces. Moreover, both sides of the positioning protrusion 53 are provided with transverse baffles 54 that are fixedly connected to the U-shaped holder 51.
[0045] Furthermore, the inner side of the U-shaped card holder 51 is fitted with a spring locking piece 52, and one end of the spring locking piece 52 is fitted in the gap between the U-shaped card holder 51 and the transverse baffle 54. The top end of the spring locking piece 52 is provided with a positioning hole 55, and the positioning protrusion 53 is fitted in the positioning hole 55.
[0046] By adopting the above technical solution, the end of the spring locking plate 52 is inserted into the gap between the top of the U-shaped card seat 51 and the transverse baffle 54 until the positioning protrusion 53 at the top of the U-shaped card seat 51 is engaged in the corresponding positioning hole 55 on the spring locking plate 52. This facilitates the quick fixation of the position of the spring locking plate 52. The elasticity of the spring locking plate 52 facilitates the quick fixation of the yarn guide into the U-shaped card seat 51. At the same time, it also facilitates the removal of the yarn guide from the inside of the U-shaped card seat 51.
[0047] Furthermore, the spring locking piece 52 is C-shaped, and the bottom of the U-shaped card holder 51 is provided with a U-shaped card groove. One end of the spring locking piece 52 is located below the U-shaped card groove, which blocks the end of the U-shaped card groove, making it easy to quickly insert and remove the yarn guide.
[0048] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the hollow fixing frame 1 is first fixed to the designated position of the spinning machine. Then, the end of the rocker arm housing 2 is moved downward. The rocker arm housing 2 moves downward outside the fixed shaft 61. Through the engagement of the ratchet sleeve 62 and the ratchet pawl 34 at the end of the L-shaped swing rod 31, the rocker arm housing 2 can only rotate downward around the fixed shaft 61. When the rocker arm housing 2 rotates upward, the ratchet pawl 34 at the end of the L-shaped swing rod 31 engages with the ratchet sleeve 62, which has a blocking effect and prevents the rocker arm housing 2 from rotating upward. When installing the yarn guide, the yarn guide is inserted into the inner side of the U-shaped card seat 51, and the bottom of the spring locking plate 52 engages with the yarn guide, thereby fixing the yarn guide. Since the positioning protrusion 53 at the top of the U-shaped card seat 51 engages with the positioning hole 55 on the spring locking plate 52, the spring locking plate 52 is quickly fixed. The structure is simple, the operation is very convenient, and it effectively reduces the intensity of manual labor.
