Description

[0001] The invention relates to a core magazine. The invention relates to a textile machine. The invention relates to a machine head of a textile machine. The invention relates to the use of a core magazine, a textile machine, and / or a machine head. Core magazines are known in the prior art. In textile machines that produce winding bobbins, in particular rotor and air-jet spinning machines, cores must be fed to the individual workstation (spinning station) in order to wind the produced yarn onto them, in particular crosswise. Such cores (also referred to as empty cores) are usually stored in core magazines of the textile machine on so-called feed mandrels for automatic feeding to the workstation. These core magazines are usually arranged at the end of the machine.

[0002] Modern textile machines are capable of producing multiple batches. In other words, different yarn batches can be produced on a single textile machine. A yarn batch is characterized by having yarns with defined properties, meaning that yarns from different batches will have different properties compared to each other.

[0003] The spool sleeves can be manually inserted into the respective section of the spool magazine by an operator. Incorrect insertion can occur, leading to an incorrect feed of the misplaced spool sleeves to the work areas. This results either in defective spools that must be discarded or in the spinning process being interrupted. Both scenarios increase the resources required and thus raise costs.

[0004] EP 0 916 614 A2 discloses a cartridge magazine according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0005] The purpose of the invention is to reduce costs and save resources. The purpose of the invention is to improve the spinning process.

[0006] The problem is solved by a cartridge magazine having the features of claim 1. The problem is solved by a textile machine having the features of claim 9. The problem is solved by a machine head having the features of claim 10. The problem is solved by use having the features of claim 11.

[0007] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0008] The problem is solved according to one aspect by a cartridge magazine with the features of claim 1.

[0009] A core magazine for a textile machine, particularly a spinning machine, comprises a plurality of core holders. The core magazine includes at least one marking device. This marking device is designed and arranged to be associated with a plane located between at least two holders, such that each of the at least two holders is assigned to a specific area. This improves the (manual) assignment of cores in a core magazine for automated feeding to a workstation. This reduces costs and saves resources. Furthermore, it improves the spinning process flow.

[0010] To distinguish between different yarn batches, the bobbin cases can be marked, in particular with a color code, whereby a bobbin case marking, especially a bobbin case color, can be assigned to a yarn batch. The bobbin cases with a bobbin case marking, in particular a bobbin case color, are fed, in particular, automatically to the workstations producing the same yarn batch via the bobbin magazine. The automatic feeding is ensured via an input option on a control panel assigned to the textile machine. The control panel is preferably arranged adjacent to the bobbin magazine. More preferably, the control panel is arranged on a housing element of a housing that at least limits or accommodates the bobbin magazine.Alternatively or additionally, in a preferred embodiment, the control panel can be arranged away from the cartridge magazine in or on a mobile device such as a smartwatch, laptop, tablet, computer unit, or control unit, which is configured to provide defined control commands based on input via the control panel for the textile machine for defined control of the machine. For the purposes of the present invention, this can be understood as a control system with at least one control unit and with a control panel coupled to this control unit for inputting commands, from which the control unit generates control commands for controlling the textile machine.The control unit can preferably be connected to a control unit inherent to the textile machine, such as a central control unit or a workstation control unit, in order to provide it with the control commands generated based on the input. According to the preferred embodiment, in which the control panel is arranged adjacent to the bobbin magazine, the control unit can form the central control unit or the workstation control unit. According to these preferred embodiments, defined areas of the bobbin magazine can each be assigned to a yarn batch that can be produced with the textile machine, so that the bobbins of the bobbin marking, in particular the bobbin color, that will be assigned to the yarn batch can be placed in these defined areas.

[0011] The term "plane" between at least two mounting devices to which the marking device can be assigned is defined, in particular, as a plane that, for example, delineates two arrangements of areas from one another. This can be a plane arranged between two areas, where the types of sleeves that are of the same type (in the sense of identical) can each form an area. In a front view of a sleeve magazine, particularly in the head of a textile machine, an area can form a plane of a sleeve arrangement. This plane can be at an angle, particularly a right angle, to a plane arranged between the areas. In this context, the term "plane" can refer, in particular, to a mathematical definition of a plane.The levels do not need to be realized (alone or in any combination) through a physical-mechanical representation in the textile machine or a machine head. They serve, in particular, to assign elements and / or devices within a textile machine or a machine head.

[0012] A marking device serves, in particular, as an aid to indicate in which areas of the cartridge magazine which spools with which spool marking, especially with which spool color, are to be attached. The marking device can be arranged between the at least two mounting devices. In other preferred embodiments, the marking device can be arranged in a portion of the plane located between the two mounting devices, in order to be positioned in front of the mounting devices. It can be provided that, from the operator's perspective, the areas can be delineated during the mounting process, with the operator being able to directly distinguish between left and right of the mounting device.

[0013] In preferred embodiments, the mounting devices may be arranged in rows, in particular such that such a row forms a mechanical connection, for example, a transport device for the mounting devices along the row (in a vertical and / or horizontal direction). The embodiments relating to the plane that may be arranged between at least two mounting devices, a marking device associated with this plane, and the arrangement of coil sleeves also apply accordingly to the rows of such mounting devices.

[0014] The term "section" refers in particular to an arrangement of identical bobbins that can be fed into at least one workstation in a textile machine, where at least one workstation is assigned to a section, in order to spin a defined type of thread and / or yarn at this workstation or section, i.e., to produce a defined batch of yarn. The bobbins can, for example, be identical in their geometry, such as their circumference, cylindrical shape, and / or truncated conical shape. Additionally or alternatively, the bobbins can also be identical, for example, in their material. It can be provided that bobbins from one section can be fed to the at least one workstation or section of the textile machine that is to produce a defined batch of yarn. The workstation producing the at least one defined batch of yarn...Section can be referred to as a work area.

[0015] A mounting device can be designed and arranged, in particular, to accommodate at least one coil sleeve. Preferred embodiments may include those in which the coil sleeve, with its inner surface or a portion thereof, contacts the mounting device. Alternatively or additionally, preferred embodiments may include those in which an outer surface (also referred to as the outer surface) or a portion thereof can be contacted by the mounting device.

[0016] The (manual) allocation of spools in a spool magazine for automated feeding to a workstation can be improved because a color marking on the lower edge of a spool magazine, intended as an indicator, can lead to spools of a particular color being repeatedly inserted into a section of the spool magazine that is assigned to a different work area than the color to which the inserted spool is assigned. This occurs particularly with holding devices, especially in the form of rows of insertion pins, which are arranged side by side in the spool magazine. A defined number of adjacent holding devices, especially in the form of rows of insertion pins, can be assigned to a work area, thus creating a zone as described elsewhere.For example, three adjacent holding devices can be assigned to a first working area, while a further, adjacent holding device can be assigned to a different, second working area. Thus, the operator can attach coil sleeves with a coil sleeve marking, particularly a coil color, to this further holding device, which is assigned to the first working area. The marking device proposed here can be designed such that an operator can perceive the marking device during an operating procedure, particularly visually, especially at the attachment height. In a process step involving the attachment of the coil sleeves, the assignment to the areas to which they "belong" can be carried out in a defined manner.This allows the operator to perform a continuous monitoring function while assigning the coil sleeves to the respective areas.

[0017] According to a preferred aspect, at least one of the following arrangements can be configured as the arrangement of the at least one marking device. The at least one marking device can be arranged vertically in a plane running between two rows of support devices. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one marking device can be arranged horizontally in a plane running between two rows of support devices. This allows a marking device to be arranged in a simple manner, enabling the areas to be demarcated from one another, particularly visually. This allows the operator to perform continuous monitoring while assigning the coil sleeves to the respective areas.In particular, during a placement step, the operator can detect a left versus a right orientation to the marking device and incorporate this into the decision-making process. This improves the process of (manually) assigning spools in a spool magazine for automated feeding to a workstation. This reduces costs and saves resources. Furthermore, the spinning process flow can be improved.

[0018] The horizontal and vertical directions (also referred to as horizontal and vertical arrangement, respectively) are defined specifically in relation to the setup of a textile machine. A horizontal direction can be defined, in particular, as the width or depth of the textile machine. Alternatively or additionally, a vertical direction can be defined as the height of the textile machine.

[0019] According to a preferred aspect, the at least one marking device can be designed as a flexible marking device. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one marking device can be designed as a rigid marking device. This allows the structure of the marking device to be adapted to the conditions on the cartridge magazine.

[0020] According to the invention, the at least one marking device is designed to be inserted into holders in the core magazine. This allows the at least one marking device to be arranged in this way. This avoids the need for extensive structural modifications to the textile machine or the machine head to accommodate a marking device. The holders in the core magazine can be designed to position the marking devices on the textile machine. In particular, locking devices can be provided – especially on the marking device, as well as corresponding counterparts on the core magazine, the textile machine, and / or a machine head, as described elsewhere – on which the marking devices can be arranged.Locking devices may be selected, for example, from screws, nails, rivets, hooks, eyelets and / or corresponding counterparts on the cartridge magazine, the textile machine, the machine head and / or the marking device.

[0021] A marking device can be directly associated with a mounting device. Preferred embodiments may exist in which the marking device is designed to be connected to a mounting device in such a way as to connect the marking device to a transport device, particularly in a vertical or horizontal direction.

[0022] According to a preferred aspect, the marking device can include an indicator, in particular a color marking. This indicator can correspond to an indicator, particularly in the form of a color marking, that is assigned to a type of spool sleeve to be arranged in at least one of the areas. This assignment can directly correspond to an arrangement on a mounting device. Alternatively or additionally, a marking device can be provided which, as already described elsewhere, can be arranged on a spool magazine and / or on a machine head (as described elsewhere).

[0023] In this context, at least two different functions are achieved by a marking device, as described herein and elsewhere. A first preferred function is, in particular, the identification of a separation or demarcation between the areas. Specifically, a first area can be separated from a second area. This separation can be mechanical, for example, by drawing in separating structures and / or separating devices, as described elsewhere. Alternatively or additionally, marking devices can be provided to visually indicate a separation. A second preferred function is the ability to specify a type of coil sleeve in at least one of the areas. For example, an indicator can refer to a configuration of coil sleeves to be arranged in the at least one area.The indicator can also transmit information, in particular, about which type of coil sleeve is to be arranged in at least one area.

[0024] According to a preferred aspect, the at least one marking device can comprise at least one of the following: a band, in particular an expander, a strip, a chain, a rod, and / or a sheet, in particular a partition. This allows at least one of the various functions described elsewhere with respect to the marking device to be formed.

[0025] A band can be, in particular, a flexible form of marking device. The band can be made of rubber and / or plastic. Alternatively or additionally, a band can also be made of a material such as a textile.

[0026] The textile can be spun from threads of a yarn and / or threads of a metal. An expander can be, in particular, an elastic band that can be stretched and automatically returns to its original length, allowing it to be positioned between two locking devices, as described elsewhere. This arrangement is particularly easy to implement, enabling quick replacement. A band can have at least one indicator, as described elsewhere.

[0027] A strip can be, in particular, an example of a rigid marking device. A strip can be more robust, like a band, ensuring stability even under heavy loads, such as when an operator bumps it while attaching the spool sleeves. A strip can also have at least one indicator, as described elsewhere.

[0028] A chain can be designed, in particular, to combine the properties of a rigid marking device with those of a flexible marking device. The chain can be tensioned or unstaut (like an expander) and, alternatively or additionally, exhibit a certain degree of flexibility in a width or depth direction of the textile machine. At least one indicator, as described elsewhere, can be arranged on the chain.

[0029] A rod and / or a sheet, in particular a partition, may be configured to form a mechanical separation, as an example of a rigid form of a marking device. A rod and / or a sheet, in particular a partition, may have indicators as described elsewhere.

[0030] According to a preferred aspect, the marking device can include an indicator, particularly as already mentioned elsewhere. This indicator can, in particular, be a color marking. The indicator on the marking device can correspond to an indicator for a type of spool to be arranged in at least one of the areas. The corresponding indicator, which can be associated with the spool, is in particular designed in the form of a color marking. The corresponding indicator on the marking device, in particular the corresponding color marking, can point towards the respective area of ​​the spool magazine in which the spools with a corresponding indicator are to be arranged. Reference is made here in particular to the advantages and properties of the indicator as described elsewhere.For the sake of readability and conciseness, text passages are not repeated.

[0031] According to a preferred aspect, the marking device can be designed to be positioned at a specific assembly level. This allows the marking device to be associated with a specific arrangement of coil sleeves. This makes it easier for the operator to correctly identify the spools and arrange them accordingly.

[0032] An arrangement height can, in particular, be a mounting height. A mounting height corresponds, in particular, to an arrangement height (especially in a fully mounted state) in preferred embodiments in which the mounting device, in particular, enables the mounting of coil sleeves, as described elsewhere.

[0033] The term "arrangement height" can refer, in particular, to the distance between a mounting device and the floor of a textile machine in place. The marking device can therefore be fixed in place, for example, in preferred embodiments where the same spools are repeated within a specific area. However, there can also be preferred embodiments where, for example, an area changes its function. In particular, a marking device can move along with a mounting device for spool sleeves when these mounting devices move, as described elsewhere.

[0034] The marking device may protrude into an operator's field of vision. The average operator's height, particularly when in a relaxed posture, can be assumed to comply with the standard occupational safety guidelines in Germany and / or the EU, as described on the filing date or priority date. This also assumes a relaxed eye position (looking straight ahead).

[0035] According to a preferred aspect, at least one example sleeve can be assigned to a region as a further marking device. This can be, in particular, below and / or above the at least one region as described elsewhere.

[0036] This allows for the creation of a visual representation of a sample spool for direct comparison. This further simplifies the process for the operator to align the spool sleeves to be attached with the additional marking device (also referred to as a dummy).

[0037] From an independent perspective, the problem is solved in particular by a textile machine according to claim 9. This machine has a tube magazine as described elsewhere. The textile machine can be described by the features, properties, and advantages of the tube magazine. Reference is made to these descriptions in this context, and for the sake of brevity and readability, the relevant text passages are not repeated. The textile machine can be described by the features, properties, and advantages of a machine head as described elsewhere. The textile machine can be described by the features, properties, and advantages of an application as described elsewhere.

[0038] The textile machine can, in particular, be a spinning machine. The spinning machine can be a rotor spinning machine or an air-jet spinning machine. Preferably, the spinning machine can have a plurality of working stations. These can be arranged or subdivided into sections, with at least one working station being assigned to each section. The at least one working station or section can be configured, as described elsewhere, to spin a defined type of thread / yarn, i.e., to produce a defined batch of yarn. The working station or section producing the at least one defined batch of yarn can be referred to as a working area. The bobbin magazine can, in particular, be arranged in a machine head. Preferably, a corresponding area is formed in the bobbin magazine to receive the bobbins that can be fed to such a working area.A textile machine can have multiple working areas to spin different types of threads or yarns. This allows for multiple areas to be integrated into a single spool magazine.

[0039] From an independent perspective, the problem is solved in particular by a machine head of a textile machine according to claim 10. The textile machine is configured in particular as described elsewhere. The machine head includes a core magazine as described elsewhere. The machine head is configured in particular on an end face of a textile machine. The textile machine can thus, by its design, replicate a spinning process for at least one defined type of thread or yarn. The machine head of the textile machine can be described by the features, properties, and advantages of the core magazine. Reference is made to these preferred embodiments in this context, and for the sake of conciseness and readability, the corresponding text passages are omitted.The machine head can be described by the features, properties, and advantages of the textile machine, as explained elsewhere. The machine head can also be described by the features, properties, and advantages of a particular application, as explained elsewhere.

[0040] From an independent perspective, the problem is solved, in particular, by using a spool magazine, as described elsewhere, a textile machine, as described elsewhere, and / or a machine head, as described elsewhere, according to claim 11. In this process, at least two spools of two different spool types are each assigned to a specific area. The areas are marked by a marking device. The marking device is designed and arranged to be positioned in a plane between the at least two holding devices, such that the at least two holding devices are assigned to each of the respective areas. The use of the spool magazine, the textile machine, and / or the machine head can be described by the features, properties, and advantages of the spool magazine, the textile machine, and / or the machine head.Reference is made to these preferred statements in this context, and a repetition of the associated text passages is omitted for reasons of conciseness and readability.

[0041] In summary, and in other words, this means that in textile machines that produce winding bobbins, especially rotor and air-jet spinning machines, bobbin cases can be fed to the individual workstations (spinning stations) in order to wind the produced yarn or thread onto them, particularly in a crosswise pattern. Such bobbin cases are stored, for example, in bobbin magazines of the textile machine, mounted on so-called mandrels as holding devices for automatic feeding to the workstation. These bobbin magazines are located, in particular, at the end of the machine – for example, in a machine head.

[0042] Textile machines are particularly capable of producing multiple batches. In other words, different yarn batches (types of yarn) can be produced on a single textile machine, especially on one side of the machine. A yarn batch is characterized in particular by the fact that it contains yarn with defined yarn properties, so that yarns from different yarn batches can have different yarn properties compared to each other.

[0043] To enable the different yarn batches to be visually distinguished in a preferred manner, the bobbin cases can be marked. In preferred embodiments, such bobbin case marking can be a color marking, whereby one bobbin case color can be assigned to one yarn batch.

[0044] The bobbins of a particular color are fed via the bobbin magazine to the workstations producing the same yarn batch. Defined areas of the bobbin magazine are each assigned to a yarn batch, so that the bobbins of the color corresponding to that yarn batch are placed in these defined areas. At least one workstation, and preferably several workstations, can be arranged in a work area, with at least one workstation forming a section, and several workstations preferably being divided into different sections of the textile machine. The work area can be designed such that the at least one workstation or section arranged within it is configured for producing a defined yarn batch.

[0045] The spool sleeves can be manually inserted into the respective section of the cartridge magazine by an operator. Despite the use of marking aids, such as color-coded spool sleeves and / or color markings on the underside of the cartridge magazine indicating which spool sleeve colors belong in which section, incorrect insertion can still occur.

[0046] In other words, despite warnings, spools of a certain color can still be inserted into a section of the cartridge magazine even though that color is assigned to a different working area than the one to which the inserted spool is attached. This occurs particularly with rows of mounting devices, such as rows of mounting prongs, arranged side by side in the cartridge magazine, where a defined number of adjacent rows, especially of mounting prongs, can be assigned to a working area. For example, three adjacent rows, especially of mounting prongs, can be assigned to a first working area, while a further adjacent row, especially of mounting prongs, can be assigned to a second working area.It can happen that the operator places coil sleeves of a color assigned to a different work area onto this further row, especially of mounting mandrels.

[0047] By arranging flexible or rigid visual markers (also referred to as dividers) between the sections of the cartridge magazine, the allocation of these sections can be clearly indicated, making it easier for the operator to correctly load and arrange the cartridges. These markers can be rigid strips or flexible bands such as expanders. The markers are typically inserted into designated holders at the ends of the cartridge magazine. This visually guides the operator when loading cartridges, ensuring that cartridges of the same color are only inserted into the section of the cartridge magazine located on the side of the marker(s).

[0048] In preferred embodiments, the marking device can have colored indicators corresponding to the color of the spool sleeves, wherein these indicators can be arranged in such a way that they point towards the respective area of ​​the spool magazine in which spool sleeves of a color matching the indicator color are to be inserted.

[0049] Preferred embodiments are described in more detail below with reference to the figures, which show schematic and exemplary representations: Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a preferred embodiment of a machine head of a textile machine; Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of a section of a preferred embodiment of a cartridge magazine; and Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of a section of another preferred embodiment of a cartridge magazine.

[0050] The same reference symbols are used for elements and structures that have the same effect and / or are of the same type.

[0051] In Fig. 1 An exemplary embodiment of a machine head 10 of a textile machine 100 is shown. In this embodiment, a machine head 10 forms, in particular, an end face of the textile machine 100, to which working areas (not shown) are arranged in a known manner.

[0052] A cartridge magazine 14 is assigned to the machine head 10. This assignment can be achieved, in particular, by arranging the cartridge magazine 14 within the machine head 10. A housing 12 can be provided to accommodate the cartridge magazine 14. The textile machine 100, or the machine head 10, is arranged on a base 24. This provides the structure with particular stability.

[0053] The spool magazine 14 for the textile machine 100 has a plurality of holding devices 18 for spools (not shown). At least one marking device 16 is provided. This marking device 16 is designed and arranged to be assigned to a plane between at least two holding devices 18. This plane lies, for example, as an imaginary plane between the holding devices 18. The holding devices 18 are designed here as mounting mandrels 19, as shown in detail in the Fig. 2 are shown. The assignment is such that the at least two mounting devices 18 are each assigned to a region 40.

[0054] The marking devices 16 are designed to extend in a vertical direction between a series of mounting devices 18. The marking device 16 extends, in particular, over the entire height of the cartridge magazine 14 and is thus designed, in particular, to project into the field of vision of an operator (not shown) at a certain height.

[0055] In the Figures 1 to 3 The embodiments shown depict two types of marking devices 16. These can be used together (as shown here) or separately. They can be a flexible marking device 11 or a rigid marking device 17. Both types of marking devices 11 and 17 are mounted in holders 36 in the cartridge magazine 14. These holders 36 can be adapted to the marking device 16.

[0056] Insertion can involve clamping, particularly in the case of flexible marking devices 11. Rigid marking devices 17 can be inserted, attached, and / or screwed into the holder 36. Examples of marking devices 16 include a band, particularly an expander, a strip, a chain, a rod, and / or a sheet, particularly a partition.

[0057] The marking device 16 can have an indicator (not shown), in particular a color marking, which corresponds to an indicator (not shown), in particular a color marking, which is assigned to a type of spool sleeve to be arranged in at least one of the areas 40. The corresponding indicator, in particular the corresponding color marking, can point in the direction of the respective area 40 of the cartridge magazine 14 in which the spool sleeves with a corresponding indicator are to be arranged.

[0058] Fig. 2 Figure 1 shows, in particular in a schematic representation, a section of an embodiment of a cartridge magazine 14. Here, mounting pins 19 are arranged in rows on a chain 26 as a holding device 18, as shown in the Fig. 3 This is shown in further detail. In this process, a chain 26 is formed in particular from a series of chain links 25 that can be tilted from one another. Fig. 2 This shows in particular a series of vertically running chains 26, which are arranged next to each other in order to arrange the mounting pins 19 as holding devices 18 in the cartridge magazine 14. Fig. 3Figure 1 shows in particular a section of an embodiment of a spool magazine 14, in which part of the chains 26 is hidden to illustrate its operation. The chains 26 run over deflection pulleys (not shown). The deflection pulleys are mechanically connected to a motor 30 via a belt 32 to set the chains 26 in motion. This allows, in particular, spool sleeves to be supplied as needed, within a working area (not shown) of the textile machine 100. The overall structure can be stabilized by support structures 27 and by cross braces 28.

[0059] A spool magazine 14, as described here and elsewhere, can be used in a textile machine 100 and / or in a machine head 10 to assign at least two spools of two different spool types to a region 40 by means of a marking device 16. The regions 40 are marked by a marking device 16. The marking device 16 is designed and arranged to be positioned in a plane between the at least two holding devices 18, such that the at least two holding devices 18 are assigned to the respective regions 40.
