Cross-coil manufacturing textile machine with a cross-coil transport device

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a textile machine producing cross-wound bobbins, which is equipped with a plurality of work stations arranged next to one another on both longitudinal sides of the machine, as well as a cross-wound bobbin transport device arranged between the two rows of work stations and a handling device for moving cross-wound bobbins.

[0002] Textile machines producing cross-wound bobbins with a large number of work stations and transport devices for cross-wound bobbins arranged side by side on both longitudinal sides of the machine have been known for a long time, particularly in connection with open-end rotor spinning machines, and have been described in some cases in considerable detail in numerous patent applications.

[0003] Such open-end rotor spinning machines typically have a plurality of identical workstations arranged side by side, both along the front and rear sides of the machine. These workstations are each equipped with a spinning device and a winding device. A transport device extending the length of the machine is often arranged between the two rows of workstations, allowing the cross-wound bobbins completed at the workstations to be transported to a bobbin removal device located at the end of the machine.

[0004] The cross-wound bobbin transport devices of such open-end rotor spinning machines either have a single centrally arranged transport belt, as described for example in DE 40 37 084 A1, DE 42 14 683 C2 or DE 10 2014 107 508 A1, or have two centrally arranged, parallel-running transport belts, as shown for example in DE 38 28 592 A1.

[0005] DE 32 44 015 A1 discloses a double-sided textile machine producing cross-wound bobbins, in which a device for successively removing the cross-wound bobbins from a bobbin conveyor belt, for turning the cross-wound bobbins by 180° and for transferring them to another bobbin conveyor belt leading to a bobbin collecting point is located at the head end.

[0006] DE 10 2015 008 378 A1 discloses a melt spinning system for producing synthetic yarns with a device for picking up and transporting wound spools. The transport system comprises a doffer wall arranged parallel to the longitudinal side of the machine. The doffer wall has an upper and a lower guide track, which are connected to each other via several diverters.

[0007] DE 42 22 723 A1 describes a device for handling cross-wound bobbins between a transport device and a storage device. This device comprises a transfer device for continuously transporting cross-wound bobbins between the transport device and the storage device.

[0008] As is well known and will therefore not be explained again, at the workstations of open-end rotor spinning machines, cross-wound bobbins are produced from fiber slivers presented in so-called spinning cans. These cross-wound bobbins are then further processed on downstream textile machines, such as weaving machines. This means that the winding devices at the workstations of such open-end rotor spinning machines continuously wind cross-wound bobbins, which are transferred by automatically operating operating units, such as cross-wound bobbin changers, to the machine-length transport device, from where they are transported to bobbin removal devices located at the end of the machine.

[0009] At the bobbin removal device, the finished cross-wound bobbins are then removed manually or mechanically from the transport device and reloaded, for example, into bobbin transport trolleys or other downstream transport devices.

[0010] To avoid cross-wound bobbins colliding when transferring finished packages from the winding devices to the machine-length cross-wound bobbin transport device, it should be ensured, if possible, that the conveyor belt position located behind the winding device of the work station that has completed a cross-wound bobbin and should be emptied quickly is unoccupied. This means that it should be ensured that the cross-wound bobbin to be transferred cannot collide with one or more cross-wound bobbins already on the conveyor belt. Although a collision can be prevented by monitoring the conveyor belt position, even in this case, an unemptied conveyor belt position will result in the winding device coming to a standstill because the full cross-wound bobbin cannot be cleared, thus reducing efficiency.

[0011] In order to avoid such cross-wound bobbin collisions and / or stoppages of the winding devices during the transfer of the cross-wound bobbins to a machine-length conveyor belt, various clearing strategies have been developed in the past.

[0012] In a known method, for example, it is provided that each finished cross-wound bobbin is transferred as quickly as possible onto the conveyor belt and is immediately conveyed by the conveyor belt to a bobbin removal device arranged at the end of the machine, where the cross-wound bobbin is immediately unloaded, i.e., immediately passed on to a downstream transport device or the like.

[0013] However, with such a process, the transport device must be stopped to pick up and release each package, i.e., such a clearing strategy ultimately results in a "stop-and-go" operation, which not only places considerable strain on the transport device, but often also has a detrimental effect on the usually relatively sensitive packages.

[0014] Another method frequently used in practice involves the two conveyor belts of a cross-wound bobbin transport system, located between the workstation rows, initially remaining stationary and then successively being loaded with cross-wound bobbins. The filled or nearly filled conveyor belts are then controlled so that the cross-wound bobbins are transported to bobbin removal devices located at the end of the machine, where they are unloaded one after the other.

[0015] A disadvantage of this process, however, is that on long machines, particularly with multi-lot loading, the cross-wound packages already lying on a conveyor belt often prevent further packages from being deposited. With the result that many work stations have to wait at a standstill because they cannot immediately deposit their finished cross-wound packages onto the conveyor belt. In particular, the backlog of cross-wound packages that begins in the area of ​​the package removal devices often leads to difficulties in transferring the packages, especially at the work stations located at the end of the machine, i.e. adjacent to the package removal devices. This means that these work stations are often unable to deposit their finished cross-wound packages onto the conveyor belt. Since the affected work stations of the open-end rotor spinning machine, as indicated above, cannot operate during their waiting time, the efficiency of this type of textile machine is often considerably reduced.

[0016] Another method used for removing packages from the workstations of an automatic package winder is described in DE 35 11 815 A1. In this known method, the automatic package winder is equipped with a package changer, which successively removes the finished packages from the winding devices of the workstations and transports them to a package transfer point located at the end of the machine. In the area of ​​the package transfer point, a package transfer device controlled by the package changer is arranged, which ensures that each package is immediately transferred to a conveyor belt installed above the workstations. This conveyor belt is then indexed by one package width to create space for a new package.When the conveyor belt is full, the cross-wound bobbins are either discharged onto a downstream conveyor belt or temporarily transferred to a storage device located above the conveyor belt.

[0017] A similar device for removing cross-wound bobbins from the workstations of a textile machine producing cross-wound bobbins is also described in DE 10 2006 009 398 A1. According to this reference, an open-end rotor spinning machine is equipped with a continuously running cross-wound bobbin transport device arranged above the workstations, which, as usual, is supplied with finished cross-wound bobbins by a cross-wound bobbin changer.

[0018] A lifting device is installed at the end of the cross-wound bobbin transport device, which immediately transfers delivered cross-wound bobbins to a storage device designed as a conveyor belt, located above or below the cross-wound bobbin transport device. The lifting device can then also be used to unload the storage device if necessary.

[0019] One disadvantage of the devices described above is the arrangement of the bobbin transfer device at the end of the package transport device. With these known devices, especially with long open-end rotor spinning machines, there is always the risk of a backlog of packages, i.e., the packages already lying on the package transport device prevent the timely placement of further packages completed by the work stations.

[0020] Based on the prior art described above, the object of the invention is to develop a textile machine producing cross-wound bobbins with a cross-wound bobbin transport device which is designed in such a way that, in particular, the backlog of cross-wound bobbins on the conveyor belts of the cross-wound bobbin transport device is reliably prevented.

[0021] This object is achieved by a textile machine for producing cross-wound bobbins, which is equipped with a plurality of workstations arranged side by side on both longitudinal sides of the machine and has a cross-wound bobbin transport device. The cross-wound bobbin transport device has a first transport device arranged between the two rows of workstations for transporting cross-wound bobbins and a handling device for transferring cross-wound bobbins from the first transport device to a second transport device. According to the invention, the handling device is arranged between the ends of the first transport device.

[0022] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the subclaims.

[0023] The inventive design of the cross-wound bobbin transport device of a textile machine producing cross-wound bobbins represents a construction with which a safe and rapid removal of finished cross-wound bobbins can be ensured in a relatively simple manner, that is to say with which it is avoided that the laying on of new cross-wound bobbins is hindered by cross-wound bobbins already located on the first transport device.

[0024] In particular, the use of a first transport device with a handling device installed between the ends of the first transport device of the textile machines producing cross-wound bobbins, which handling device connects the first transport device to a downstream, second transport device, reliably prevents a backlog of finished cross-wound bobbins at the end of the first transport device, which would significantly hinder the operation of the work stations arranged in this area of ​​the first transport device, since the work stations would not be able to deliver finished cross-wound bobbins to the first transport device and would therefore have to be temporarily shut down.

[0025] According to the invention, the handling device for transferring cross-wound bobbins from the first transport device to the second transport device is located between the end regions of the first transport device. The end regions are not part of this region. Viewed longitudinally, the handling device is located within the machine in the region in which the work stations are arranged. The handling device is positioned such that, downstream of the handling device in the transport direction, further cross-wound bobbins from the work stations can be placed onto the first transport device. By transporting the finished cross-wound bobbins away using the handling device, the distance that the cross-wound bobbins have to travel on the first transport device is shortened. This means that the cross-wound bobbins can be removed from the first transport device more quickly. In addition, space is created on the first transport device for further cross-wound bobbins.

[0026] The handling device is usually located near the center of the machine. This means that each finished package must be transported a maximum of half the machine length on the first transport device.

[0027] According to a further preferred embodiment, the handling device can be movable between the ends or end regions of the first transport device. This allows the position of the handling device to be adapted to varying workloads at the workstations and the distribution of the finished cross-wound bobbins.

[0028] It is also possible to distribute several handling devices over the length of the first transport device.

[0029] The first transport device preferably comprises a conveyor belt. In an advantageous embodiment, the first transport device comprises two conveyor belts arranged side by side, each of which can be driven in a defined manner, with each of the two conveyor belts being equipped with its own handling device. The second transport device can also comprise two conveyor belts. Each of the two conveyor belts of the first transport device can be connected to one of the conveyor belts of the second transport device via the respective handling device.Such a design has the advantage that each of the two rows of workstations of the textile machine producing cross-wound bobbins has its own cross-wound bobbin transport device divided into two length sections and separately driven, which ensures that finished cross-wound bobbins can be transferred to the associated transport device at any time without any problems and from there to one of the bobbin removal devices preferably arranged at the end of the machine.

[0030] The embodiment described above results in particularly gentle handling of the cross-wound bobbins, since they always rest with their bobbin surface on the conveyor belt over a large area, both during their transfer to the conveyor belt and during their relatively short transport.

[0031] The handling device for the cross-wound bobbins is preferably designed as a cross-wound bobbin lifting device, which removes the cross-wound bobbins from the first transport device and transfers them to the second transport device. A cross-wound bobbin lifting device is characterized in that the cross-wound bobbins are removed upwards. This is particularly advantageous because the space available is limited to the sides by the rows of workstations. A cross-wound bobbin lifting device can advantageously be used in conjunction with a second transport device arranged above the first transport device. However, a cross-wound bobbin lifting device can also be used with a second transport device positioned next to the first transport device.

[0032] Such cross-wound bobbin lift devices are proven components in textile machine construction, known in various designs, but are usually arranged at the machine end of a cross-wound bobbin transport device.

[0033] For example, DE 35 11 815 A1 describes a cross-winding machine with a cross-wound bobbin lift located in the area of ​​a machine end frame. DE 10 2006 009 398 A also describes a cross-wound bobbin lift installed at the machine end, but in connection with an open-end spinning machine.

[0034] The arrangement of the conveyor belts of the second conveyor device above the conveyor belts of the first conveyor device not only has the advantage of minimizing the installation space required by a textile machine producing cross-wound bobbins of this type, but also ensures that the workstations of the textile machine remain easily accessible for the operating personnel.

[0035] In an alternative embodiment, however, the conveyor belts of the second transport device can also be positioned next to the conveyor belts of the first transport device.

[0036] With such a design, the textile machine requires more space, but the conveyor belts of the second transport device remain easily accessible to the operating personnel. This means that if problems arise in the area of ​​the conveyor belts of the transport devices, the operating personnel can intervene immediately without major difficulties.

[0037] In a further advantageous embodiment, a bobbin removal device is installed at both the end of the conveyor belts of the first transport device and the end of the conveyor belts of the second transport device. This design ensures that all conveyor belts can be unloaded relatively quickly at any time, thus reliably preventing backlogs of cross-wound bobbins, which would have a very negative impact on the efficiency of the workstations located in the area of ​​​​a backlog.

[0038] In a further alternative embodiment, it is provided that handling devices are arranged both between the end regions of the first transport device and at the end of the first transport device, which transfer finished cross-wound bobbins to a downstream transport means.

[0039] Such an embodiment also makes it possible to ensure in a relatively simple manner that finished cross-wound bobbins are transported away quickly and safely, while reliably preventing a backlog in the area of ​​the workstations due to the placing of newly finished cross-wound bobbins on the first transport device.

[0040] Further details of the invention can be found in the exemplary embodiments illustrated below with reference to the drawings.

[0041] It shows: Fig. 1 shows a side view of an open-end rotor spinning machine with two rows of work stations and a cross-wound bobbin transport device arranged between the two rows of work stations, which has two parallel conveyor belts and a cross-wound bobbin changer positioned in front of a work station, Fig. 2 shows a schematic plan view of two open-end rotor spinning machines arranged next to one another, each equipped with a cross-wound bobbin transport device, which in a first embodiment according to the invention each has a first transport device with a cross-wound bobbin handling device arranged in the middle of the machine, to which a second transport device is connected, which is arranged laterally next to the first transport device, Fig.3 schematically shows an alternative embodiment of a cross-wound bobbin transport device of an open-end rotor spinning machine, wherein the cross-wound bobbin transport device has a first transport device which is equipped with a cross-wound bobbin handling device arranged in the middle of the machine and connected to a second transport device arranged above the first transport device, Fig. 4 schematically shows a further embodiment of a cross-wound bobbin transport device for open-end rotor spinning machines, with a first transport device which is equipped with a cross-wound bobbin handling device arranged in the middle of the machine and a cross-wound bobbin handling device at the end of the machine, which are each connected to a downstream, separate transport device.

[0042] In Figure 1The two rows of workstations of a textile machine producing cross-wound bobbins, in this example an open-end rotor spinning machine 1, are shown in side view. As is known, such open-end rotor spinning machines 1 have a plurality of identical workstations 2, which are generally arranged in two rows. This means that a plurality of identically designed workstations 2 are positioned both in the front area of ​​the textile machine and in the rear area of ​​the textile machine.

[0043] As can be seen, a cross-wound bobbin transport device 12 is arranged between the two rows of workstations, the first transport device 17 of which is formed, for example, by two parallel conveyor belts 13, 14.

[0044] As is known, the workstations 2 of such textile machines each have, among other things, an open-end rotor spinning device 3 and a winding device 4.

[0045] By means of the open-end rotor spinning device 3, a fiber band 6, which is stored in a spinning can 5, is spun into a thread 7, which is then wound on the winding devices 4 into a cross-wound bobbin 8.

[0046] As in Figure 1 As indicated, the winding devices 4 are each equipped with a bobbin frame 9 for rotatably holding a cross-wound bobbin tube and, in the present embodiment, with a winding roller 11 for frictionally driving the cross-wound bobbins 8 and simultaneously traversing the advancing thread 7. The bobbin frame 9 is mounted for limited rotation, preferably about a pivot axis 15.

[0047] Such open-end rotor spinning machines 1 are often also equipped with a cross-wound bobbin transport device 12 for transporting finished cross-wound bobbins 8, i.e., with a device for removing cross-wound bobbins 8 that have reached a predetermined diameter at the work stations 2. The cross-wound bobbin transport device 12 designed according to the invention has a first transport device 17, which has two parallel conveyor belts 13, 14, i.e., each of the work station rows is equipped with its own conveyor belt 13 or 14.

[0048] Furthermore, self-operating service units, such as so-called cross-wound bobbin changers 16, are arranged on or on the open-end rotor spinning machine 1 and can be moved along corresponding rails 10 and 20, respectively. The cross-wound bobbin changers 16 patrol the work stations 2 of the open-end rotor spinning machine 1 during spinning operation and intervene automatically if a need for service arises at one of the work stations 2. Such a need for service arises, for example, if one of the cross-wound bobbins 8 at one of the work stations 2 has reached its prescribed diameter and must be replaced with a new cross-wound bobbin tube.

[0049] In such a case, the cross-wound bobbin changer 16 is positioned in front of the relevant work station 2 and transfers the full cross-wound bobbin 8 from the bobbin frame 9 of the winding device 4 of the relevant work station 2 onto the associated conveyor belt 13 or 14 of the cross-wound bobbin transport device 12. A new cross-wound bobbin tube is then inserted into the bobbin frame 9 and the spinning and winding process is restarted at the relevant work station 2.

[0050] The cross-wound bobbin transport devices 12 of open-end rotor spinning machines 1 can have various different embodiments.

[0051] As in Figure 2illustrated in a schematic plan view using two open-end rotor spinning machines 1 arranged next to one another, the open-end rotor spinning machines 1 in a first embodiment are each equipped with a cross-wound bobbin transport device 12 which has a first transport device 17 and a second transport device 18 arranged next to the first transport device 17.

[0052] The first transport device 17 has two machine-length, side-by-side arranged transport belts 13, 14, to which, approximately in the area of ​​the machine center 19 of the open-end rotor spinning machines 1, the transport belts 21, 22 of a second transport device 18 are connected via bobbin handling devices 23, 26. The transport belts 21, 22 of the second transport device 18 have, as can be seen from Figure 2visible, they cover half the machine length and are each positioned laterally next to one of the conveyor belts 13, 14 of the first conveyor device 17.

[0053] At the machine end, both the conveyor belts 13, 14 of the first transport device 17 and the conveyor belts 21, 22 of the second transport device 18 are equipped with bobbin removal devices. The bobbin removal devices of the conveyor belts 13, 14 are identified by reference numerals 24, 25, while the bobbin removal devices of the conveyor belts 21, 22 have reference numerals 27, 28.

[0054] At the Figure 3In the alternative embodiment shown, the open-end rotor spinning machine 1 also has a cross-wound bobbin transport device 12, which has a first transport device 17 and a second transport device 18. However, the transport belts 21, 22 of the second transport device 18 are positioned above the transport belts 13, 14 of the first transport device 17. This means that the first transport device 17 has two machine-length transport belts 13, 14, which are equipped with bobbin handling devices 23, 26 approximately in the region of the machine center 19 of the open-end rotor spinning machine 1.

[0055] Via the coil handling devices 23, 26, the conveyor belts 13, 14 of the first transport device 17 are connected to the conveyor belts 21, 22 of the second transport device 18, which are preferably positioned significantly above the work stations 2. The conveyor belts 21, 22 have, similar to the embodiment according to Figure 2 , only half the machine length.

[0056] As in the embodiment according to Figure 2 Here too, both the conveyor belts 13, 14 of the first conveyor device 17 and the conveyor belts 21, 22 of the second conveyor device 18 are equipped with bobbin removal devices arranged at the machine end, wherein the bobbin removal devices of the conveyor belts 13, 14 are identified by the reference numerals 24, 25 and the bobbin removal devices of the conveyor belts 13, 14 are identified by the reference numerals 27, 28.

[0057] The bobbin handling devices 23, 26 are preferably designed as cross-wound bobbin lifting devices which, when required, lift cross-wound bobbins 8 from the conveyor belts 13, 14 of the first conveyor device 17 onto the conveyor belts 21, 22 of the second conveyor device 18.

[0058] Also in the Figure 4In the embodiment shown, the open-end rotor spinning machine 1 is equipped with a cross-wound bobbin transport device 12, which has a first transport device 17 having two machine-length conveyor belts 13, 14. Bobbin handling devices 23, 26, 29, 30, designed, for example, as cross-wound bobbin lifting devices, are connected to the conveyor belts 13, 14 of the first transport device 17. These bobbin handling devices, when required, lift the finished cross-wound bobbins 8 delivered on the conveyor belts 13, 14 from the conveyor belts 13, 14 onto a transport device 32 downstream of the first transport device 17, which transports the cross-wound bobbins 8 to textile machines downstream in the production process, for example, weaving machines.The bobbin handling devices 23, 26 are arranged approximately in the area of ​​the machine center 19 of the open-end rotor spinning machines 1, while the bobbin handling devices 29, 30 are positioned at the machine end of the open-end rotor spinning machine 1.

[0059] The function of the cross-wound bobbin transport device 12 according to the invention is explained below with reference to Figure 3 briefly explained: If work stations 2, which are arranged in the rear machine area of ​​the open-end rotor spinning machine 1, that is, according to Figure 3 in the machine area of ​​the open-end rotor spinning machine 1 located to the right of the machine center 19, have finished cross-wound bobbins 8, these are transferred by a service unit, preferably by a cross-wound bobbin changer 16, onto the associated conveyor belt 13 or 14 of the first conveyor device 17, which, as in Figure 1shown, is installed behind the winding devices 4 of the work stations 2. The first transport device 17 then transports the cross-wound bobbins 8 to a bobbin removal device 24 or 25 arranged at the end of the machine, where they are immediately unloaded, for example by an operator 31.

[0060] Cross-wound bobbins 8 which were manufactured at work stations 2 which are arranged in the front machine area of ​​the open-end rotor spinning machine 1, i.e. in the machine area to the left of the machine center 19, are also first transferred by a cross-wound bobbin changer 16 onto one of the conveyor belts 13 or 14 of the first conveyor device 17.

[0061] The first transport device 17 then transports the cross-wound bobbins 8 to bobbin handling devices 23 and 26 arranged in the region of the machine center 19. The bobbin handling devices 23 and 26, which are preferably designed as cross-wound bobbin lifting devices, transfer the cross-wound bobbins 8 to a second transport device 18, the conveyor belts 21 and 22 of which are arranged above the conveyor belts 13, 14 of the first transport device 17.

[0062] The conveyor belts 21 and 22 of the second conveyor device 18 also have bobbin removal devices 27 and 28 arranged at the end of the machine, by means of which the cross-wound bobbin 8 can then be unloaded immediately.

[0063] Each of the above-described embodiments of a cross-wound bobbin transport device 12 leads to a considerable equalization of the transport of finished cross-wound bobbins 8. This means that the previously common backlog of finished cross-wound bobbins 8, which started in the machine-end area of ​​the cross-wound bobbin transport device 12 of the open-end rotor spinning machines 1 and often led to a shutdown of the work stations 2 arranged in this area of ​​the backlog, can be reliably avoided by the embodiments according to the invention.
