Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of textile machinery, and particularly relates to a rotor cup for spinning.Technical Background

[0002] Rotor spinning, also known as open-end spinning, is one of the methods for free-end spinning. Rotor spinning is a textile method through which processes of fiber conveying, condensing, combining and twisting to form yarn can be completed through a rotor cup rotating at high speed and airflow in the rotor cup. A rotor spinning machine usually uses a magnetic suspension motor, an air bearing motor, a ball bearing motor, and the like to drive a rotor cup for spinning. In order to ensure the normal operation of the magnetic suspension motor and avoid damage thereto, a load borne by a magnetic bearing should be reduced as much as possible, and the assembly accuracy should be improved.

[0003] Take a rotor cup in the prior art for example. In a Chinese patent with the publication No. EP 1966421 B2, a rotor cup and a rotor shaft are separated from each other, and the rotor shaft needs to be assembled into a shaft hole. However, due to the tolerances and assembly of a plurality of parts, vibration and imbalance of the rotor cup are too serious after the assembly, thus leading to many problems such as a low pass yield rate of rotor cups used for magnetic suspension motors, a high product scrap rate, and potential severe damage to the magnetic suspension motors.Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems and overcome the defects in the prior art, the present invention provides a rotor cup for spinning. The rotor cup for spinning is an integrated one-piece rotor cup processed by a high-precision machine tool.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problems is as follows: a rotor cup for spinning, including an integrally formed cup body and a cup shaft, where the cup body is an open cup area for fiber entry and yarn formation, and the cup shaft is configured for connecting with a driving shaft of the rotor cup for spinning, such as a driving shaft configured for a magnetic suspension motor, an air bearing motor, a ball bearing motor, and the like. Preferably, the rotor cup for spinning is an integrated one-piece rotor cup processed by a high-precision machine tool, thus avoiding too serious vibration and imbalance of the rotor cup caused by assembly of a plurality of parts.

[0006] Further, in order to ensure the connection with the driving shaft of the rotor cup for spinning, such as a driving shaft configured for the magnetic suspension motor, the air bearing motor, the ball bearing motor, and the like, precise positioning and limiting are required during assembly to prevent idling slippage. To this end, at least a certain area of the cup shaft is provided with a profile limiting part. The profile limiting part may include various surface profiles, preferably including a hexagonal profile.

[0007] Further, a diameter of the cup shaft ranges from 3 mm to 10 mm, and preferably, the diameter of the cup shaft can be 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, or 10 mm. The diameter range of the cup shaft can be selected with reference to straightness rigidity and required hardness.

[0008] Further, to improve yarn quality and the service life of the rotor cup for spinning, a surface of the rotor cup for spinning is provided with a functional and / or protective coating. The functional coating is capable of achieving a specific friction coefficient of the surface to improve yarn quality and increasing abrasive resistance of the surface to ensure the service life of the rotor cup for spinning. The protective coating protects the rotor cup for spinning from corrosion, thus ensuring the service life of the rotor cup for spinning.

[0009] Further preferably, the functional and / or protective coating is a nickel dispersion coating, and diamond particles are embedded into the nickel dispersion coating.

[0010] Further, a thickness of the functional and / or protective coating is 10-70 µm.

[0011] Due to a very short service life in specific application conditions when the functional and / or protective coating is relatively thin, the thickness of the functional and / or protective coating is further preferably 30-60 µm to prolong the service life.

[0012] Further, in order to have a smooth surface (improve yarn quality) and prevent surface abrasion, the surface of the rotor cup for spinning is further provided with a pure nickel coating. The pure nickel coating is directly applied to a base material surface of the rotor cup for spinning or on a surface of the functional and / or protective coating. Preferably, the thickness of the pure nickel coating is 2-10 µm.

[0013] Further, a steel material in a workshop environment with very high humidity and temperature is very prone to corrosion without protection by a coating, and therefore, at least an area of the cup shaft of the rotor cup for spinning is covered by the pure nickel coating. Preferably, the entire rotor cup for spinning may be provided with the pure nickel coating. Preferably, the rotor cup for spinning is made of a steel material.

[0014] The base material surface of the rotor cup for spinning can be hardened by use of the boronizing technology. After the hardening, a hardened base material surface with a hardness of greater than 1,300 HV can be found in an "open cup area" of the cup body.

[0015] Specifically, the cup body includes a first conical part forming a wall portion of the cup body and a second conical part forming a bottom portion of the cup body, where a yarn condensing tank is arranged on an inner wall at an intersection between the first conical part and the second conical part.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The rotor cup for spinning adopts a simple integrated structure, which requires no assembly, thus avoiding damage to the magnetic suspension motor caused by vibration and imbalance of the rotor cup for spinning overall, and improving the pass-yield rate of the rotor cups for spinning. (2) The functional and / or protective coating improves yarn quality and the service life of the rotor cup for spinning. (3) The thickness and contour shape of the cup shaft ensure sufficient rigidity / hardness while minimizing a weight thereof. (4) The pure nickel coating makes the rotor cup for spinning have a smooth surface and prevents abrasion. Brief Explanation of the Figures
