Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of texturing machine technology, and in particular to a special installation tool for the IAD cylinder of a texturing machine. Background Technology
[0002] The ATF-1500 texturing machine is an automatic paper tube loading machine launched by TMT Corporation. The winding and forming device is the core technology of this machine, enabling automatic paper tube loading. The winding mechanism is controlled by a solenoid valve. A pneumatic switch, through an air-controlled piston, presses down on a control lever, causing the lever to move clockwise. This lifts the stop mechanism, disengaging it from the clutch. With the clutch in the ON position, the AD shaft rotates, transmitting the rotation to the IAD shaft via gears. This, in turn, rotates the gears, ultimately enabling the winding frame to move up and down and the storage rack to automatically load paper tubes.
[0003] 1. Current Operational Status: The ATF-1500 texturing machine has been in operation for many years, and the IAD cylinder components have aged and become damaged, leading to an increase in automatic doffing failures. This manifests as IAD malfunction, with the computer displaying a faulty clutch, ultimately causing automatic yarn doffing failure, affecting production performance and the lifespan of other equipment components.
[0004] 2. Routine Maintenance: IAD cylinders are replaced periodically according to their service life. This replacement work is extensive, with 384 cylinders per machine. Due to the limited working space, personnel cannot easily operate the system, making the replacement of the entire machine difficult. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a special installation tool for the IAD cylinder of a texturing machine, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the IAD cylinder, save time and effort, effectively meet the maintenance needs of the texturing machine, and is highly practical.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is achieved as follows: a special installation tool for an IAD cylinder of a texturing machine, comprising a pair of clamps hinged together; the clamps have a front end and a rear end located on both sides of the hinge position;
[0007] The first set of clamps has a positioning pin on its front end;
[0008] The second set of clamps has a support base at the front end; the support base has a retaining ring; the retaining ring has a U-shaped opening; the opening of the U-shaped opening is arranged away from the positioning pin; the inner wall of the U-shaped opening has a stepped structure; the stepped structure has a stepped surface facing the clamps; and a magnet is provided on the stepped surface.
[0009] Furthermore, several groups of the magnets are arranged at intervals on the step surface.
[0010] Furthermore, the height between the front end of the locating pin and the front end of the clamp body is greater than the height between the retaining ring and the front end of the clamp body.
[0011] Furthermore, the support base is welded and fixed to the clamp body.
[0012] Furthermore, the retaining ring extends from the support seat in a direction away from the positioning pin.
[0013] Furthermore, when the rear ends of the two sets of clamps approach each other, the front ends of the two sets of clamps move away from each other.
[0014] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0015] This invention utilizes a positioning pin and a retaining ring. The IAD cylinder is placed on the rocker switch and pressed firmly to ensure the cylinder head is exposed. A retaining ring is secured in the U-shaped mounting groove at the switch head to prevent the cylinder from falling off and to facilitate its installation. The positioning pin is inserted into a pre-set position on the rocker of the texturing machine to form a fulcrum. The U-shaped jaws of the retaining ring clamp attract the retaining ring, preventing it from falling out and ensuring its position is fixed. By gripping the clamp and pushing the retaining ring, it is precisely aligned with the mounting groove of the IAD cylinder for assembly. Assembly can be performed even in confined spaces with obstructed visibility. This effectively improves the assembly efficiency of the IAD cylinder, saving time and effort, effectively meeting the maintenance needs of the texturing machine, and is highly practical.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] like Figure 1-3The image shows a dedicated installation tool for an IAD cylinder of a texturing machine according to this embodiment. This texturing machine is a conventional device in the prior art, specifically the model described in the background section. The dedicated installation tool includes a pair of clamps 1 hinged together. Each clamp 1 has a front end and a rear end located on either side of the hinge position. A handle portion is formed between the rear end of the clamp 1 and the hinge position. When the handle portion of both clamps 1 is gripped, the rear ends of the two clamps 1 move closer together, while the front ends move further apart.
[0023] A positioning pin 2 is fixed to the front end of the first set of clamp bodies 1. The positioning pin 2 extends in the front-rear direction, with its first end fixed to the front end of the clamp body 1 and its second end forming a free end. A support base 3 is fixed to the front end of the second set of clamp bodies 1. The support base 3 extends in the front-rear direction, with its first end fixed to the front end of the clamp body 1 by welding. A retaining ring 4 is installed on the second end of the support base 3. The retaining ring 4 extends from the support base 3 in a direction away from the positioning pin 2. A U-shaped opening 41 is machined on the retaining ring 4. The U-shaped opening 41 is arranged through the retaining ring 4. The U-shaped opening 41 is adapted to the shape of the retaining spring to accommodate the retaining spring. The opening of the U-shaped opening 41 is arranged away from the positioning pin 2. A stepped structure 5 is formed on the inner wall of the U-shaped opening 41. The stepped structure 5 has a stepped surface 51 facing the clamp body 1. When the retaining spring is accommodated in the U-shaped opening 41, the retaining spring abuts against the stepped surface 51, thereby restricting the movement of the retaining spring. A magnet 6 is installed on the stepped surface 51. When the retaining ring is accommodated within the U-shaped opening 41, the magnet 6 can attract the retaining ring, thereby securing it in place.
[0024] In the specific structural design, several groups of magnets 6 are arranged at intervals on the stepped surface 51 to improve the adsorption force. The height between the front end of the positioning pin 2 and the front end of the clamp body 1 is greater than the height between the retaining ring 4 and the front end of the clamp body 1.
[0025] In practical application, after the texturing machine is stopped, the winding frame of the texturing machine is automatically lowered through program control. Personnel can only work after the entire cradle of the texturing machine has been lowered. The operator gently taps the IAD cylinder down with a rubber mallet, presses the manual control switch, removes the retaining ring from the IAD cylinder, and collects them separately. The new IAD cylinder is placed on the cradle and pressed firmly to ensure the cylinder head is exposed. The retaining ring is secured in the U-shaped mounting groove at the switch head to prevent the cylinder from falling off and to facilitate retaining ring installation. Then, using an installation tool, the positioning pin 2 is inserted into the preset position on the cradle of the texturing machine to form a force fulcrum. The retaining ring clamp's U-shaped opening holds the retaining ring, making it difficult for it to fall off and fixing its position. The retaining ring clamp's U-shaped opening 41 holds the retaining ring, making it difficult for it to fall off and fixing its position. The clamp body 1 is gripped tightly, and the retaining ring is installed by applying force, ensuring the retaining ring is precisely aligned with the mounting groove of the IAD cylinder for secure assembly. The above method allows for assembly even in confined spaces where visibility is obstructed. It effectively improves the assembly efficiency of IAD cylinders, saving time and effort, and effectively meets the maintenance needs of the texturing machine.
[0026] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
