Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a textile machine system that collects various information from an apparatus for manufacturing a yarn package and manages the collected information. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a textile machine system is known that includes a plurality of textile machines that manufacture yarn packages and a management device that collects and manages information from the plurality of textile machines (see, for example, Patent Document 1). By collecting and managing information obtained from the plurality of textile machines, it becomes easier to grasp the overall status of the plurality of textile machines, and this can be useful for early detection of abnormalities, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2017-92707 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Known textile machines for manufacturing yarn packages include a winding machine that winds yarn from a bobbin to form a package, and a spinning machine that applies a swirling air flow to a fiber bundle to generate yarn and then winds the generated yarn to form a package. In conventional textile machine systems, a system for the winding machine and a system for the spinning machine are separate systems. That is, in conventional textile machine systems, the management device is separate for the winding machine and the spinning machine.

[0005] For this reason, in conventional textile machine systems, it was necessary to access separate management devices when viewing information about the winding device and when viewing information about the spinning device. As a result, when it was desired to check information about both the winding device and the spinning device, it was not possible to efficiently view the information.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to efficiently view information on both a winding device and a spinning device in a textile machine system. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In the following, several aspects will be described as means for solving the problems. These aspects can be arbitrarily combined as necessary. A textile machine system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a first textile machine, a second textile machine, and a management device. The first textile machine has a winding device that winds a yarn from a bobbin to form a package. The second textile machine has a spinning device that applies a swirling air flow to a fiber bundle to generate a yarn and winds the generated yarn to form a package. The management device communicates with the first textile machine and the second textile machine. The management device also acquires first information related to the first textile machine from the first textile machine, acquires second information related to the second textile machine from the second textile machine, and displays the acquired first information and second information on a display screen.

[0008] In the above textile machine system, the management device acquires both the first information about the first textile machine and the second information about the second textile machine, and can display both the acquired first information and second information on the display screen. That is, in the above textile machine system, the management device acquires and manages both the first information and the second information, and both the first information and the second information can be viewed by accessing the management device, so that viewing of these two types of information can be performed efficiently.

[0009] In the above textile machine system, the display screen may have a display information selection section that selects whether to display the first information or the second information. In this way, by switching between displaying the first information and the second information on the display screen, it is possible to prevent the user from confusing the information of one textile machine with the information of the other textile machine. As a result, the information can be viewed efficiently.

[0010] In the above textile machine system, the first information and the second information may include information on operation of the first textile machine and the second textile machine, or information on package production, thereby allowing efficient browsing of information on operation and information on package production for both the first textile machine and the second textile machine.

[0011] In the above textile machine system, the first information and the second information may have common information having a common meaning between the first information and the second information, and unique information having a different meaning between the first information and the second information. This makes it possible to separately manage the information common to the first textile machine and the second textile machine and the information different between the first textile machine and the second textile machine.

[0012] In the above textile machine system, the information display screen may have a display information selection unit that selects whether to display the first information or the second information. In this case, the management device may display at least one of the common information at the same position on the display screen whether the management device displays the first information on the display screen or the second information on the display screen.

[0013] Here, "the same position" refers to displaying the same common information at the same position whether the first information or the second information is displayed on the display screen. For example, when the first information and the second information are each displayed on a single line for each item, a specific common item included in the first information and the second information is displayed at the same Nth position on the display screen. In this way, by displaying at least one piece of common information at the same position on the display screen for the first information and the display screen for the second information, it is possible to easily grasp the information for the user.

[0014] In the above textile machine system, the common information may include at least one of identification information of the winding device or the spinning device, information about the yarn, and information about the production date of the package. This allows information that can be shared between the winding device and the spinning device to be managed as common information.

[0015] In the above textile machine system, the unique information of the first information may include at least one of information on the length of the yarn wound per one rotation of the drum that traverses the yarn in the winding device, information on the tension when winding the yarn, and information on drum traverse control. The unique information of the second information may include at least one of information on the draft of the fiber bundle in the spinning device, information on spinning of the fiber bundle, and information on winding. This allows the unique information of the winding device and the spinning device to be managed as unique information.

[0016] In the above textile machine system, the unique information of the second information may include a setting of a clearer that detects defects in yarn in the spinning device. In this case, the display screen may be capable of switching between displaying at least one of information related to draft, information related to spinning, and information related to winding and the setting of the clearer. This allows efficient viewing of information by switching between displaying information related to draft and information related to spinning and the setting of the clearer in the spinning machine.

[0017] In the above textile machine system, the unique information of the first information may include a setting of a clearer that detects defects in the yarn in the winding device. In this case, the display screen may be capable of switching between displaying at least one of information on the length of the yarn wound when a drum that traverses the yarn in the winding device makes one rotation, information on the tension when winding the yarn, and information on drum traverse control and the clearer setting. This allows the setting of the clearer provided in the winding device to be managed as unique information of the winding device. Also, the clearer setting and other unique information can be switched between displaying and viewing the information efficiently.

[0018] In the above textile machine system, the common information may include identification information for identifying the production conditions of the package. In this case, the management device may compare the contents of the first information having the same identification information, and if the first information having the same identification information includes information with different contents, display the part including the different contents on the display screen in a display format different from the others. Alternatively, the management device may compare the contents of the second information having the same identification information, and if the second information having the same identification information includes information with different contents, display the part including the different contents on the display screen in a display format different from the others. This allows a user to visually quickly grasp that different settings are set for the production conditions with the same identification information. Effect of the Invention

[0019] In the above-mentioned textile machine system, the management device acquires and manages information on both the winding device and the spinning device, and by accessing the management device, it is possible to view information on both the winding device and the spinning device, thereby enabling efficient viewing of information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] 1. First embodiment (1) Overview of textile machinery systems The textile machine system 100 will be described below. The textile machine system 100 includes a management device 3 that collects information (called first information IN1) about a first textile machine 1 having a plurality of winding devices, and information (called second information IN2) about a second textile machine 2 having a plurality of spinning devices, and manages this information. Therefore, in the textile machine system 100, by accessing the management device 3 from a terminal, it is possible to view both the first information IN1 and the second information IN2 using the terminal.

[0022] (2) Textile machinery system configuration The configuration of the textile machine system 100 will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of the textile machine system 100. The textile machine system 100 mainly includes a first textile machine 1, a second textile machine 2, a management device 3, and a first terminal 4. The first textile machine 1, the second textile machine 2, the management device 3, and the first terminal 4 are provided in a predetermined facility F, such as a spinning factory.

[0023] The first textile machine 1 is composed of multiple winding devices 11 (Fig. 2). The winding device is a device that winds yarn from a bobbin to form a package. In other words, the winding device is a device that unwinds yarn wound around a bobbin from the bobbin and winds it into a package. Note that only one first textile machine 1 may be provided in the facility F, or multiple first textile machines 1 may be provided.

[0024] The second textile machine 2 is composed of multiple spinning devices 21 (Figure 3). The spinning device is a device that applies a swirling air flow to a fiber bundle to produce yarn, and then winds the produced yarn to form a package. In other words, the spinning device is a device that produces yarn from a fiber bundle and winds the produced yarn into a package. In this way, the package formation process differs between the winding device and the spinning device. Note that only one second textile machine 2 may be provided in the facility F, or multiple second textile machines 2 may be provided.

[0025] The management device 3 is a computer system configured with a CPU, a memory device (RAM, ROM, HDD, SSD, etc.), and various interfaces such as a network interface. The management device 3 is connected to the first textile machine 1 and the second textile machine 2 via a network (e.g., wired LAN, wireless LAN) within the facility F, and is capable of communicating with these machines.

[0026] The management device 3 acquires first information IN1 related to the first textile machine 1 from the first textile machine 1, acquires second information IN2 related to the second textile machine from the second textile machine 2, and manages this information. When accessed by the first terminal 4, the management device 3 provides the first terminal 4 with a display screen (first display screen, second display screen) showing the first information IN1 and the second information IN2.

[0027] The first terminal 4 is a computer system including a CPU, a storage device (RAM, ROM, HDD, SSD, etc.), various interfaces, etc. The first terminal 4 is, for example, a personal computer, a tablet terminal, or a mobile terminal. The first terminal 4 is connected to the management device 3 via a network in the facility F and is capable of communicating with the management device 3.

[0028] A main user of the first terminal 4 is, for example, a manager of facility F. When a user operates the first terminal 4 to access the management device 3, the management device 3 transmits a display screen showing the first information IN1 or the second information IN2 to the first terminal 4. The first terminal 4 receives this display screen and displays it on its display device. This allows the user of the first terminal 4 to view both the first information IN1 and the second information IN2 managed by the management device 3 through the display screen.

[0029] The first terminal 4 can access the management device 3 by specifying the address (for example, IP address) of the management device 3 in a Web browser. Alternatively, the first terminal 4 may access the management device 3 by a dedicated application (software).

[0030] The textile machine system 100 may further include a cloud server 5 and a second terminal 6. The cloud server 5 and the second terminal 6 are located outside the facility F.

[0031] The cloud server 5 is a computer system configured with a CPU, a storage device, various interfaces, etc. The cloud server 5 may be a virtual computer system in which the above hardware is realized in software. The cloud server 5 is connected to the management device 3 via a network N (e.g., the Internet) and is capable of communicating with the management device 3. The cloud server 5 receives and manages various information (e.g., first information IN1, second information IN2, diagnostic reports, etc.) relating to the first textile machine 1 and / or second textile machine 2 from the management device 3.

[0032] The second terminal 6 is a computer system configured with a CPU, a storage device (RAM, ROM, HDD, SSD, etc.), various interfaces, etc. The second terminal 6 is, for example, a personal computer, a tablet terminal, or a mobile terminal. The second terminal 6 is connected to the management device 3 and the cloud server 5 via the network N, and is capable of communicating with the management device 3 and the cloud server 5. A user of the second terminal 6 can access the cloud server 5 and view information managed by the cloud server 5. Also, the user can access the management device 3 and view information managed by the management device 3.

[0033] (3) Specific configuration of the first textile machine Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the first textile machine 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a specific configuration of the first textile machine 1. The first textile machine 1 has a plurality of winding devices 11, a doffing device 13, and a machine controller 15, which are arranged side by side.

[0034] (3-1) Winding device The winding device 11 winds the yarn Y1 unwound from a yarn supplying bobbin B1 onto a winding tube B2 to form a package P1. The winding device 11 includes, from upstream to downstream of the movement of the yarn Y1, a yarn supplying bobbin B1, a yarn unwinding assisting device 111, a tension applying device 112, a yarn joining device 113, a yarn clearer 114, a lower thread guide member 115, an upper thread guide member 116, a traverse drum 117, and a cradle 118.

[0035] The yarn supplying bobbin B1 supplies the yarn Y1 for forming the package P1. The yarn unwinding assisting device 111 assists the unwinding of the yarn Y1 from the yarn supplying bobbin B1 by lowering a regulating member covering a core tube of the yarn supplying bobbin B1 in conjunction with the unwinding of the yarn Y1 from the yarn supplying bobbin B1. The tension applying device 112 applies a predetermined tension to the traveling yarn Y1.

[0036] The yarn joining device 113 joins the lower yarn on the yarn supplying bobbin B1 side and the upper yarn on the package P1 side when the yarn clearer 114 detects a yarn defect and cuts the yarn Y1, or when the yarn Y1 breaks during unwinding from the yarn supplying bobbin B1. The yarn joining device 113 may be, for example, a mechanical type or a type that uses a fluid such as compressed air.

[0037] The yarn clearer 114 detects the thickness and foreign matter of the yarn Y1, and determines whether the yarn Y1 has a yarn defect (a portion where there is an abnormality in the yarn thickness or a foreign matter contained in the yarn) based on the detection result. The yarn clearer 114 is, for example, an optical clearer that detects the thickness and / or foreign matter of the yarn Y1 based on the amount of light transmitted and / or reflected when light is irradiated onto the yarn Y1, or a capacitance clearer that detects the thickness of the yarn Y1 based on the capacitance between electrodes when the yarn Y1 passes between the electrodes.

[0038] For example, when the yarn clearer 114 detects that the measured thickness of the yarn Y1 is equal to or larger than a predetermined thickness or equal to or smaller than a predetermined thickness, it can determine that the yarn Y1 has a yarn defect. When it is determined that the yarn Y1 has a yarn defect, a cutter provided in the yarn clearer 114 cuts the yarn Y1 at the location where the yarn defect has occurred.

[0039] When the yarn Y1 breaks, the lower yarn guiding member 115 (guide member on the yarn supplying side) captures the yarn Y1 (lower yarn) on the yarn supplying bobbin B1 side and guides it to the yarn joining device 113. A suction port is provided at the tip of the lower yarn guiding member 115, and a suction flow can be generated in the suction port to suck and capture the lower yarn.

[0040] When the yarn Y1 breaks, the upper yarn guiding member 116 (guide member on the package side) captures the yarn Y1 (upper yarn) on the package P1 side and guides it to the yarn joining device 113. A suction mouth is provided at the tip of the upper yarn guiding member 116, and a suction flow can be generated in the suction mouth to suck and capture the upper yarn.

[0041] When a yarn defect is detected and the yarn Y1 is cut, or when the yarn Y1 breaks, the lower yarn guiding member 115 captures the yarn on the yarn supplying bobbin B1 side and guides it to the yarn joining device 113, and the upper yarn guiding member 116 captures the yarn on the package P1 side and guides it to the yarn joining device 113. The yarn joining device 113 then joins the yarn Y1 guided by these guiding members. After the yarn joining by the yarn joining device 113, winding of the yarn Y1 is resumed.

[0042] The traverse drum 117 is a member that can be rotated in contact with the circumferential surface of the winding tube B2 or the circumferential surface of the package P1. The traverse drum 117 is provided with a traverse groove for traversing the yarn Y1. When the traverse drum 117 is rotated by the rotation of the winding tube B2 or the package P1, the traverse groove allows the yarn Y1 to traverse along the longitudinal direction of the winding tube B2 or the package P1.

[0043] In this embodiment, the traverse drum 117 is provided with a plurality of types of grooves with different wind numbers, and the grooves used for traverse can be switched according to the diameter of the package P1. This makes it possible to suppress ribbon winding in the package P1.

[0044] The cradle 118 detachably supports the take up tube B2 for forming the package P1 and is rotatable about a predetermined axis. The cradle 118 is rotatable about the rotation axis. This allows the cradle 118 to rotate about the rotation axis and absorb an increase in the diameter of the package P1 that accompanies winding of the yarn Y1 onto the take up tube B2. The cradle 118 is provided with a drive mechanism that rotates the cradle 118 about the rotation axis.

[0045] The arrangement order of the components of the winding device 11 is not limited to the order of the yarn supplying bobbin B1, the yarn unwinding assisting device 111, the tension applying device 112, the yarn joining device 113, the yarn clearer 114, the lower thread guiding member 115, the upper thread guiding member 116, the traverse drum 117, and the cradle 118 from bottom to top in Fig. 2. For example, the above-mentioned arrangement order from top to bottom in Fig. 2 may be adopted.

[0046] (3-2) Doffing device Returning to the description of the configuration of the first textile machine 1, when the package P1 becomes full in each winding device 11, the doffing device 13 travels to the winding device 11, retrieves the full package P1, and supplies an empty winding tube B2.

[0047] (3-3) Machine Controller The machine controller 15 is a computer system configured with a CPU, a storage device (RAM, ROM, HDD, SSD, etc.), and various interfaces. The machine controller 15 has a display device 151 (e.g., a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display) that displays various information, and an input device 152 (e.g., a touch panel, a keyboard, an operation panel, etc.) that performs various settings. The display device 151 and the input device 152 may be realized as a display device equipped with a touch panel. In the first textile machine 1, the machine controller 15 and the management device 3 are connected and capable of communicating with each other.

[0048] A machine controller 15 is provided for each first textile machine 1. The machine controller 15 manages the winding device 11 in the first textile machine 1 in which the machine controller 15 is provided. Specifically, the machine controller 15 stores setting values ​​input by a user using the input device 152 or the like, and transmits the setting values ​​to the controller of each winding device 11. The machine controller 15 also collects various information related to the winding device 11 from the controller of each winding device 11. For example, the machine controller 15 collects information related to the occurrence of yarn defects in each winding device 11, information related to the occurrence of various events, and the like. The machine controller 15 integrates the information related to each winding device 11 and the information related to the first textile machine 1, and outputs the information related to one first textile machine 1 (one base) (i.e., first information IN1) to the management device 3.

[0049] (4) Specific configuration of the second textile machine Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the second textile machine 2 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing a specific configuration of the second textile machine 2. The second textile machine 2 has a plurality of spinning devices 21 arranged in parallel and a machine controller 23.

[0050] (4-1) Spinning equipment The spinning devices 21 are devices that spin the fiber bundle T to generate a spun yarn Y2 and wind the spun yarn Y2 to form a package P2. Specifically, each spinning device 21 has, from upstream to downstream in the yarn movement, a draft device 211, a spinning device 212, a yarn storage device 213, and a package formation device 214.

[0051] The draft device 211 is provided on a frame FL of the spinning device 21. The draft device 211 stretches the fiber bundle T supplied from a sliver case through a sliver guide until it has a predetermined width. The fiber bundle T stretched by the draft device 211 is supplied to the spinning device 212.

[0052] The spinning device 212 generates a spun yarn Y2 by twisting the fiber bundle T supplied from the draft device 211. The spinning device 212 generates a spun yarn Y2 by twisting the fiber bundle T using a swirling air flow.

[0053] The yarn pooling device 213 is a roller member rotatable about an axis that winds a certain amount of spun yarn Y2 around its outer circumferential surface and temporarily stores the same. By rotating the yarn pooling device 213 with the spun yarn Y2 wound around its outer circumferential surface at a predetermined rotational speed, the yarn pooling device 213 can pull out the spun yarn Y2 from the spinning device 212 at a predetermined speed and transport it downstream.

[0054] The package forming device 214 rotates the package P2 in contact with the winding drum, and winds the spun yarn Y2 onto the package P2 while traversing it, thereby generating the package P2 of the spun yarn Y2.

[0055] The spinning device 21 is provided with a yarn clearer 215 in the path of the spun yarn Y2 between the spinning device 212 and the yarn storage device 213. The yarn clearer 215 detects the thickness and foreign matter of the spun yarn Y2, and determines whether the spun yarn Y2 has a yarn defect based on the detection results. If the yarn clearer 215 determines that the spun yarn Y2 has a yarn defect, the driving of the draft device 211 or the spinning device 212 is stopped, thereby cutting the spun yarn Y2.

[0056] Thereafter, the yarn splicing device 217 splices the yarn end on the spinning device 212 side with the yarn end on the package P2 side. In this way, the spinning device 21 can remove yarn defects that have occurred in the spun yarn Y2. After the above-mentioned yarn splicing, production of the spun yarn Y2 and winding of the spun yarn Y2 onto the package P2 are resumed. The spun yarn Y2 may be cut by providing a cutter in the spinning device 21.

[0057] The arrangement order of the components of the spinning device 21 is not limited to the order of the draft device 211, the spinning device 212, the yarn storage device 213, and the package forming device 214 from top to bottom in Fig. 3. For example, the above-mentioned arrangement order from bottom to top in Fig. 3 may be used.

[0058] (4-2) Machine Controller The machine controller 23 is a computer system configured with a CPU, a storage device (RAM, ROM, SSD, HDD, etc.), and various interfaces. The machine controller 23 further has a touch panel 231 (for example, a display combining a thin display such as a liquid crystal display and a touch panel) for displaying various information and performing various settings. In the second textile machine 2, the machine controller 23 and the management device 3 are connected and capable of communicating with each other.

[0059] A machine controller 23 is provided for each second textile machine 2. The machine controller 23 manages the spinning device 21 in the second textile machine 2 in which the machine controller 23 is provided. Specifically, the machine controller 23 stores setting values ​​input by a user using a touch panel 231 or the like, and transmits the setting values ​​to the controller of each spinning device. The machine controller 23 also collects various information related to the spinning device 21 from the controller of each spinning device 21. For example, the machine controller 23 collects information related to the occurrence of yarn defects in each spinning device 21, information related to the occurrence of various events, and the like. The machine controller 23 integrates the information related to each spinning device 21 and the information related to the second textile machine 2, and outputs the information to the management device 3 as information of one second textile machine 2 (one base) (i.e., second information IN2).

[0060] (5) Specific configuration of the management device Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the management device 3 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing a specific configuration of the management device 3. The management device 3 has an information processing unit 31 and a storage unit 33. The information processing unit 31 is part of the CPU, various interfaces, and storage device of the management device 3, and executes various information processing in the management device 3. The information processing unit 31 executes computer programs stored in the storage device (storage unit 33) to execute various information processing in the management device 3.

[0061] The storage unit 33 stores the above computer programs, various parameters, and various information. The storage unit 33 stores the first information IN1, the second information IN2, the first display screens GUI1 and GUI1', and the second display screens GUI2 and GUI2'.

[0062] The first information IN1 is information transmitted from the first textile machine 1 and includes various information related to the first textile machine 1. The second information IN2 is information transmitted from the second textile machine 2 and includes various information related to the second textile machine 2. In this way, the memory unit 33 of the management device 3 stores both the first information IN1 related to the first textile machine 1 and the second information IN2 related to the second textile machine 2. In other words, the management device 3 manages both the first information IN1 and the second information IN2.

[0063] The storage unit 33 stores the first information IN1 and the second information IN2 for a predetermined period (e.g., two weeks). The first information IN1 and the second information IN2 that have passed the predetermined period are managed by the cloud server 5. This makes it possible to save the storage capacity of the storage unit 33. Note that the cloud server 5 may store the first information IN1 and the second information IN2 that are within the predetermined period.

[0064] The first display screen is a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying the aggregated value (total value, average value) of the first information IN1 or the second information IN2. The first display screen GUI1 shown in Fig. 5A displays the aggregated value of the first information IN1 related to the first textile machine 1. The first display screen GUI1' shown in Fig. 5B displays the aggregated value of the second information IN2 related to the second textile machine 2. Fig. 5A is a diagram showing an example of the first display screen GUI1 displaying the first information IN1. Fig. 5B is a diagram showing an example of the first display screen GUI1' displaying the second information IN2.

[0065] The second display screen is a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying the contents of the first information IN1 or the second information IN2. The second display screen GUI2 shown in Fig. 6A is the second display screen when the first information IN1 related to the first textile machine 1 is displayed. The second display screen GUI2' shown in Fig. 6B is the second display screen when the second information IN2 related to the second textile machine 2 is displayed. Fig. 6A is a diagram showing an example of the second display screen GUI2 displaying the first information IN1. Fig. 6B is a diagram showing an example of the second display screen GUI2' displaying the second information IN2.

[0066] The second display screen GUI2, GUI2′ has a display information selection section L1, a display condition setting section SE1, and an information display section D.

[0067] The display information selection section L1 is an interface (e.g., a pull-down menu) for selecting whether the first information IN1 or the second information IN2 is to be displayed on the second display screen. When "winding device" is selected on the display information selection section L1, a second display screen GUI2 is displayed on the information display section D with the first information IN1 displayed thereon, as shown in Fig. 6A. On the other hand, when "spinning device" is selected on the display information selection section L1, a second display screen GUI2' is displayed on the information display section D with the second information IN2 displayed thereon, as shown in Fig. 6B.

[0068] In this way, by providing the display information selection section L1 on the second display screen, the information to be displayed on the information display section D can be switched and displayed on the second display screen. This prevents the user from confusing information on one textile machine with information on another textile machine. As a result, information can be viewed efficiently.

[0069] The display condition setting section SE1 is an interface (e.g., a plurality of pull-down menus) for setting conditions for information included in the first information IN1 or the second information IN2 that is to be displayed in the information display section D. The information display section D is an area for displaying the first information IN1 or the second information IN2 as a table.

[0070] 6A and 6B, the second display screen GUI2, GUI2' further includes an information switching unit SW1. The information switching unit SW1 is an interface (e.g., a radio button) that switches between displaying the settings of the yarn clearers 114, 215 or displaying other information of the first information IN1 or the second information IN2 on the second display screen GUI2, GUI2'. When displaying the second information IN2, the information switching unit SW1 switches between displaying information related to the draft of the fiber bundle and information related to the spinning of the fiber bundle, and displaying the settings of the yarn clearer 215.

[0071] 6A and 6B, the positions of the display information selection section L1, the display condition setting section SE1, and the information switching section SW1 on the second display screen GUI2 that displays the first information IN1 are the same as those of the display information selection section L1, the display condition setting section SE1, and the information switching section SW1 on the second display screen GUI2' that displays the second information IN2. This makes it possible to prevent confusion caused by different operations on the display screen depending on whether the first information IN1 or the second information IN2 is displayed.

[0072] In the textile machine system 100 of this embodiment, the functions of the management device 3 described above are provided in a computer system (i.e., the management device 3) provided in the facility F where the textile machine is located. This makes it possible to prevent a decrease in the operating efficiency of the textile machine due to factors outside the facility F.

[0073] For example, it is possible to provide the functions of the management device 3 to an external device located outside the facility F, such as a cloud server 5. However, if communication between the external device and the device (textile machine) in the facility F is interrupted, this will lead to a decrease in the operating efficiency of the textile machine in the facility F.

[0074] Furthermore, by having the functions of the management device 3 described above reside in a computer system installed in the facility F, the information processing load of external devices such as the cloud server 5 can be reduced.

[0075] (6) Operation of textile machine system (6-1) Information acquisition operation The operation of the textile machine system 100 having the above configuration will be described below. First, the operation of acquiring the first information IN1 and the second information IN2 will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a flow chart showing the operation of acquiring the first information IN1 and the second information IN2. This information acquisition operation is executed at a predetermined cycle.

[0076] The information processing unit 31 of the management device 3 acquires the first information IN1 from the machine controller 15 of the first textile machine 1 (step S11). The first information IN1 transmitted from the machine controller 15 is associated with identification information indicating which first textile machine 1 the first information IN1 pertains to and which winding device 11 of the first textile machine 1 the information pertains to. The information processing unit 31 assigns identification numbers to various pieces of information contained in the received first information IN1 based on the above-mentioned identification information. This makes it possible to determine which information of which first textile machine 1 the information having that identification number pertains to.

[0077] The information processing unit 31 also receives the second information IN2 from the machine controller 23 of the second textile machine 2 (step S12). The second information IN2 transmitted from the machine controller 23 is associated with identification information indicating which second textile machine 2 the second information IN2 pertains to and which spinning device 21 of the second textile machine 2 the information pertains to. The information processing unit 31 assigns identification numbers to various pieces of information included in the received second information IN2 based on the above-mentioned identification information. This makes it possible to determine which information of which second textile machine 2 the information having that identification number corresponds to.

[0078] Next, the information processing unit 31 stores and manages the received first information IN1 and second information IN2 in the storage unit 33 (step S13). The information processing unit 31 stores the first information IN1 and the second information IN2 in the storage unit 33 for a predetermined period. The information processing unit 31 also transmits the first information IN1 and the second information IN2 to the cloud server 5.

[0079] (6-2) Information browsing behavior Next, the operation of viewing the first information IN1 and the second information IN2 in the textile machine system 100 will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a flow chart showing the operation of viewing the first information IN1 and the second information IN2.

[0080] The information processing unit 31 of the management device 3 judges whether or not there has been an access from the first terminal 4 or the second terminal 6 to view the first information IN1 and the second information IN2 (step S21). If there has been an access from any terminal ("Yes" in step S21), the first display screen GUI1 displaying the aggregated value of the first information IN1 stored in the storage unit 33, or the first display screen GUI1' displaying the aggregated value of the second information IN2 stored in the storage unit 33 is provided to the terminal that has accessed (step S22). As a result, the first display screen GUI1, GUI1' as shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B is displayed on the first terminal 4 or the second terminal 6. Whether the first information IN1 or the second information IN2 is to be displayed on the first display screen is specified, for example, when the terminal accesses. Also, it is possible to select whether the first information IN1 or the second information IN2 is to be displayed on the first display screen GUI1, GUI1'.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 5A, the first display screen GUI1 related to the first information IN1 displays information related to the operation of the first textile machine 1.

[0082] The operation-related information displayed on the first display screen GUI1 includes, for example, the overall operating rate (operating rate) of the first textile machine 1, information about the operation of the winding device 11 (yarn joining failure rate (MIS%) in the winding device 11, number of joints per given distance of the yarn Y1 (JO / Y), number of yarn defects per given distance of the yarn Y1 (YF / Y), downtime ratio (DAS%) of the winding device 11, number of stops due to yarn joining errors etc. per joint (YLW%)), success rate of AD (DOF%), information about the production volume of the package P1 (production volume of the package P1 (PRKG), number of full bobbins (NDOF), number of bobbins (NCOP), etc.).

[0083] The first display screen GUI1 also displays information relating to the efficiency of the first textile machine 1 (production efficiency (AEF%), machine efficiency (SEF%)), and information relating to the CBF of the first textile machine 1 (end output rate (YEF%), full ball discharge rate (FBE%), number of troubles (NT / T)). The first display screen GUI1 may also display other information included in the first information IN1.

[0084] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5B, the first display screen GUI1' related to the second information IN2 displays information related to the operation of the second textile machine 2.

[0085] The operation-related information displayed on the first display screen GUI1' includes, for example, the overall operating rate (operating rate) of the second textile machine 2, information about the operation of the spinning device 21 (the number of cuts per given distance of the spun yarn Y2 in the spinning device 21 (Cut / Y), the number of forced stops (Forced stop), the failure rate of yarn joining in the spinning device 21 (MISS), the doffing success rate (DOF%), etc.), and information about the production volume of package P2 (production volume of package P2 (PRKG), the number of full yarns (NDOF), etc.).

[0086] The first display screen GUI1' also displays information relating to the efficiency of the second textile machine 2 (operating efficiency (OEFF), mechanical efficiency (MEFF)), information relating to various consumption amounts in the second textile machine 2 (electric power consumption (EPC), air consumption (IFR(C))), and information relating to the environment around the second textile machine 2 (temperature (TEMP.), humidity (RH)). The first display screen GUI1' may also display other information included in the second information IN2.

[0087] 5A and 5B, the information regarding the operation of the first textile machine 1 and the information regarding the operation of the second textile machine 2 have in common the overall operating rate of the textile machine (operating rate), package production volume (production), information regarding the operation of the devices (winding device 11, spinning device 21) of the textile machine (unit operation), AD success rate (AD operation), and efficiency of the textile machine (efficiency). In other words, these pieces of information are common information regarding operation. Other information regarding operation is unique information that differs between the first textile machine 1 and the second textile machine 2.

[0088] For example, with regard to information regarding the production volume of a package, only the production volume of the package (PRKG) may be included in the common information. Also, with regard to other information, not all of the items included in the information but some (one or more) of them may be set as the common information.

[0089] On the first display screens GUI1 and GUI1', of the above common information, the overall operation rate of the textile machine is displayed on the far left, the production volume of the package is displayed second from the left, information on the efficiency of the textile machine is displayed third from the left, and information on the operation of devices of the textile machine is displayed fourth from the left. That is, even if the first information IN1 is displayed on the first display screen GUI1 and even if the second information IN2 is displayed on the first display screen GUI1', at least one of the common information on the operation is displayed at the same position on the first display screen GUI1 and GUI1'. In this way, by displaying at least one of the common information at the same position on the first display screen GUI1 of the first information IN1 and the first display screen GUI1' of the second information IN2, it becomes easy for the user to grasp the information.

[0090] Next, when a predetermined operation is performed on the first terminal 4 or the second terminal 6, the information processing unit 31 provides the second display screen GUI2 displaying the first information IN1 or the second display screen GUI2' displaying the second information IN2 to the terminal that performed the predetermined operation (step S23). Which of the second display screen GUI2 or the second display screen GUI2' is displayed first is determined, for example, by a setting in the management device 3. As a result, the second display screen GUI2, GUI2' as shown in FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B is displayed on the first terminal 4 or the second terminal 6.

[0091] The second display screens GUI2, GUI2' shown in Figs. 6A and 6B display information relating to the production of packages contained in the first information IN1 and the second information IN2.

[0092] The first information IN1 and the second information IN2 regarding package production include common information, the meaning of which is common between the first information IN1 and the second information IN2, and unique information, the meaning of which is different between the first information IN1 and the second information IN2.

[0093] The common information included in the first information IN1 is, for example, identification information of the winding device 11, information about the yarn Y1, information about the production date of the package P1, and identification information for identifying the production conditions of the package. The identification information of the winding device 11 includes, for example, a machine group name indicating a group of the first textile machine 1 predetermined according to a specified condition, a machine number (base number) indicating the number of the first textile machine 1, and a model type indicating the type of the winding device 11 as items. The information about the yarn Y1 includes, for example, count type, count number, and yarn type as items. The information about the production date of the package P1 includes, for example, the production start date of the package P1 as an item. The identification information for identifying the production conditions of the package includes, for example, the production lot name of the package P1 as an item.

[0094] The unique information included in the first information IN1 is, for example, information on the length of the yarn Y1 wound when the traverse drum 117 makes one rotation, information on the tension when the yarn Y1 is wound, information on the traverse control of the traverse drum 117, and the setting of the yarn clearer 114. The information on the tension includes, for example, a reference value of the tension when the yarn Y1 is wound (reference winding tension) and a reference level of tension as items. The information on the traverse control of the traverse drum 117 includes, for example, the type of traverse drum 117 to be used and a switching method of the grooves used for traverse in the traverse drum 117 as items. The setting of the yarn clearer 114 includes, for various yarn defects (for example, nep defect, slub defect, long defect, short defect), information on the thickness and length of the yarn defect as items.

[0095] Additionally, the unique information of the first information IN1 includes a spindle group number (group No.), a group start spindle number, and a group end spindle number. The spindle group number is a group defined in one first textile machine 1. The group start spindle number is information for identifying the winding device 11 that is the starting point in the spindle group number. The group end spindle number is information for identifying the winding device 11 that is the ending point in the spindle group number.

[0096] The unique information of the first information IN1 further includes the yarn speed of the yarn Y1, the weight of the package P1, the length (fixed length) of the package P1, the package size lifting diameter, indications regarding the waxing device, the type of splicer, the untwisting time, the yarn joining time, and the joint length.

[0097] On the other hand, the common information included in the second information IN2 is, for example, identification information of the spinning device 21, information about the spun yarn Y2, information about the production date of the package P2, and identification information for identifying the production conditions of the package. The identification information of the spinning device 21 includes, for example, a machine group name indicating the group of the second textile machine 2, a machine number indicating the number of the second textile machine 2, and a model type indicating the type of the spinning device 21 as items. The information about the spun yarn Y2 includes, for example, the count type, the count number, and the raw material of the spun yarn Y2 as items. The information about the production date of the package P2 includes, for example, the production start date of the package P2 as an item. The identification information for identifying the production conditions of the package includes, for example, the production lot name of the package P2 as an item.

[0098] The unique information included in the second information IN2 includes, for example, information on the draft of the fiber bundle, information on the spinning of the fiber bundle, information on winding, and the setting of the yarn clearer 215. The information on the draft includes, for example, the rotation speed of each draft roller and the rotation speed ratio of some of the draft rollers as items. The information on spinning includes, for example, the spinning speed (yarn speed), the speed ratio between a member that draws out the yarn from the spinning device 212, such as the yarn storage device 213, and the most downstream draft roller of the draft device 211, and the presence or absence of an additive in the spinning device 212 as items. The information on winding includes, for example, the twill angle when traversing, and the rotation speed ratio between a member that draws out the yarn from the spinning device 212, such as the yarn storage device 213, and the package P2 as items. The setting of the yarn clearer 215 includes, for various yarn defects (for example, nep defects, slub defects, long defects, and short defects), information on the thickness and length of the yarn defect as items.

[0099] For example, with regard to the information regarding the yarn Y1 / spun yarn Y2, only the count number may be included in the common information. Also, with regard to the other information, not all of the items included in the information but some (one or more) of the items may be set as the common information.

[0100] On the second display screen GUI2, GUI2', regardless of whether the display information selection section L1 selects to display the first information IN1 on the second display screen (i.e., to display the second display screen GUI2) or to display the second information IN2 on the second display screen (i.e., to display the second display screen GUI2'), at least a portion of the common information is displayed in the same position on the second display screen GUI2, GUI2'.

[0101] Here, "the same position" means that the same common information is displayed at the same position whether the first information IN1 is displayed on the second display screen or the second information is displayed on the second display screen. Specifically, for example, when the first information IN1 and the second information IN2 are each displayed on a line for each item, at least one of the common information is displayed in the same column of the information display section D of the second display screen GUI2, GUI2'.

[0102] For example, the identification information of the winding device 11, which is the common information of the first information IN1, and the identification information of the spinning device 21, which is the common information of the second information IN2, are displayed in columns C1 to C3 of the information display section D of the second display screen GUI2, GUI2'.

[0103] Furthermore, the unique information of the first information IN1 and the unique information of the second information IN2 are displayed on the right side (the side with the larger column number) of the information display section D on the second display screen GUI2, GUI2'. Note that the right end of the information display section D on the second display screen GUI2 shown in Fig. 6A is column C14, and the right end of the information display section D on the second display screen GUI2' shown in Fig. 6B is column C12, but in reality, more columns continue to the right end of the information display section D. Information continuing to the right end, for example, can be viewed by moving a scroll bar provided on the information display section D.

[0104] The unique information of the first information IN1 displayed on the right side of the information display section D includes, for example, the length of the yarn Y1 wound when the traverse drum 117 rotates once, information about the tension when winding the yarn Y1, information about the traverse control of the traverse drum 117, the yarn speed of the yarn Y1, the weight of the package P1, the length (fixed length) of the package P1, the package size lifting diameter, an indication about the waxing device, the type of splicer, the untwisting time, the yarn joining time, the joint length, and the settings of the yarn clearer 114.

[0105] On the other hand, the specific information of the second information IN2 displayed on the right side of the information display section D includes, for example, information on the draft of the fiber bundle, information on the spinning of the fiber bundle, information on winding, and the setting of the yarn clearer 215.

[0106] Furthermore, when "clearer settings" is selected in the information switching unit SW1 of the second display screen GUI2, the settings of the yarn clearer 114 are displayed on the right side (display range of unique information) of the information display section D of the second display screen GUI2. On the other hand, when "production settings" is selected in the information switching unit SW1, other unique information (at least one of information on the length of yarn wound when the drum that traverses the yarn in the winding device 11 rotates once, information on the tension when winding the yarn, and information on drum traverse control) is displayed on the right side (display range of unique information) of the information display section D. Note that, in the second display screen GUI2 of FIG. 6A, "production settings" is selected in the information switching unit SW1.

[0107] When "Clearer Settings" is selected in the information switching unit SW1 of the second display screen GUI2', the settings of the yarn clearer 215 are displayed on the right side of the information display section D of the second display screen GUI2' (display range of unique information). On the other hand, when "Production Settings" is selected in the information switching unit SW1, information related to the draft of the fiber bundle and information related to the spinning of the fiber bundle are displayed on the right side of the information display section D (display range of unique information). Note that in the second display screen GUI2' in FIG. 6B, "Production Settings" is selected in the information switching unit SW1.

[0108] In this way, by making it possible to switch between displaying the yarn clearer settings and other unique information on the second display screen GUI2, GUI2', information can be efficiently viewed on the second display screen GUI2, GUI2'.

[0109] As described above, in the textile machine system 100, information common to the first information IN1 and the second information IN2 is managed as common information, and information different between the first information IN1 and the second information IN2 is managed as unique information. This makes it possible to manage information common to the first textile machine 1 and the second textile machine 2 and information different between the first textile machine 1 and the second textile machine 2 separately.

[0110] Furthermore, by displaying at least one of the common information in the same position on the second display screen GUI2, GUI2' in the display information selection section L1 of the second display screen GUI2, GUI2', regardless of whether it is selected to display the first information IN1 or the second information IN2, the user can easily understand the information.

[0111] Furthermore, in the textile machine system 100, when displaying the second display screen GUI2, the information processing unit 31 of the management device 3 compares the contents of the first information IN1 that has the same identification information for identifying the package production conditions, and if the first information IN1 that has the same identification information contains information with different content, the part containing the different content is displayed on the second display screen GUI2 in a display format different from the others.

[0112] For example, in the second display screen GUI2 shown in FIG. 6A, for a lot (the second to fourth rows of the information display section D) in which the lot name (column C7) is "Lot 1", the contents of the count type (column C8), the yarn type (column C10), and the yarn speed (column C12) are different from one another. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, the second to fourth rows of column C8 in which the count type of "Lot 1" is written, the second to fourth rows of column C10 in which the yarn type of "Lot 1" is written, and the second to fourth rows of column C12 in which the yarn speed of "Lot 1" is written are displayed in a color different from that of the other rows. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the second display screen GUI2 in which the parts with different contents are displayed in a display form different from that of the other parts.

[0113] In addition, for the lot with the lot name "Lot 2" (the fifth and sixth rows of the information display section D), the contents of the model type (column C3), the finished spindle (column C6), the yarn type (column C10), and the package weight (column C13) are different from one another. In this case, as shown in Fig. 9, the fifth to sixth rows of column C3 in which the model type of "Lot 2" is written, the fifth to sixth rows of column C6 in which the finished spindle of "Lot 2" is written, the fifth to sixth rows of column C10 in which the yarn type of "Lot 2" is written, and the fifth to sixth rows of column C13 in which the package weight of "Lot 2" is written are displayed in a color different from the other rows.

[0114] In this way, when the first information IN1 having the same lot information contains information of different contents, the part containing the different contents is displayed on the second display screen GUI2 in a display format different from the rest, so that it is possible to quickly visually grasp that different settings have been made for the production conditions of the same identification information.

[0115] In particular, the effect of comparing lot information will be described below. The same lot conditions are set for the first information IN1 having the same lot information, but different lot conditions may be set for each textile machine. In other words, different lot conditions may actually be set for the first information IN1 that should contain the same lot conditions. In such a case, it is necessary to change the settings of the differently set lot conditions. Therefore, as described above, when the first information IN1 having the same lot information contains information of different contents, the part containing the different contents can be displayed on the second display screen GUI2 in a display format different from the others, making it easier to change the settings.

[0116] In addition, in the second display screen GUI2' that displays the second information IN2, similar to the second display screen GUI2 that displays the first information IN1, the contents of the second information IN2 that has the same identification information that identifies the package production conditions are compared, and if the second information IN2 that has the same identification information contains information with different contents, the part containing the different contents is displayed in a different display format from the others.

[0117] The textile machine system 100 has been described above. In the textile machine system 100, the management device 3 acquires both the first information IN1 related to the first textile machine 1 and the second information IN2 related to the second textile machine 2, and can display both the acquired first information IN1 and second information IN2 on the first display screen GUI1, GUI1' and the second display screen GUI2, GUI2'. That is, in the textile machine system 100, the management device 3 acquires and manages both the first information IN1 and the second information IN2, and by accessing the management device 3, both the first information IN1 and the second information IN2 can be viewed, so that viewing of these two types of information can be performed efficiently.

[0118] 2. Other embodiments Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention. In particular, the multiple embodiments and modifications described in this specification can be arbitrarily combined as necessary. (A) In the above textile machine system 100, the information browsing described above may be performed when the information acquisition operation is not being performed, or may be performed while the information acquisition operation is being performed. Furthermore, the processing content of each step in the flowcharts shown in Figures 7 and 8 and / or the processing order of each step may be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0119] (B) In the above-described textile machine system 100, the setting of the yarn clearer 114 in the first information IN1 and the setting of the yarn clearer 215 in the second information IN2 are each treated as unique information. This is because the winding device 11 included in the first textile machine 1 and the spinning device 21 included in the second textile machine 2 use different methods of forming yarn to form a package, and therefore different conditions for determining that the yarn is inappropriate, so it is convenient to treat them as unique information.

[0120] However, the present invention is not limited to this, and since the setting of the yarn clearer has a common meaning, it may be common information for the first information IN1 and the second information IN2.

[0121] (C) The unique information of the first information IN1 and / or the second information IN2 does not have to include the setting of the yarn clearer 114. In addition, the setting of the yarn clearer 114 does not have to be displayed in the information display section D of the second display screen GUI2, GUI2'. In this case, the information switching section SW1 does not have to be provided on the second display screen GUI2, GUI2'.

[0122] (D) The winding device 11 included in the first textile machine 1 is not limited to one that traverses the yarn Y1 using the traverse drum 117. In other words, the first textile machine 1 may have another type of winding device 11. For example, the first textile machine 1 may be provided with a winding device that traverses the yarn by reciprocating a traverse arm.

[0123] (E) The second textile machine 2 may include a spinning device that produces the package P2 based on a principle different from that of the spinning device 21 described above.

[0124] (F) The management device 3 may be located outside the facility F. Alternatively, some of the functions of the management device 3 may be possessed by an external device such as a cloud server 5. In this case, the management device 3 and the above-mentioned external device may be located outside the country in which the facility F is located. In this way, even if the management device 3 is located outside the facility F (including overseas), the effects of using the textile machine system 100 can be achieved within the country, for example, as long as the first terminal 4 is located within the facility F or within the country in which the facility F is located.

[0125] 3. Features of the embodiment The above embodiment can also be explained as follows. (1) A textile machine system (for example, a textile machine system 100) includes a first textile machine (for example, a first textile machine 1), a second textile machine (for example, a second textile machine 2), and a management device (for example, a management device 3). The first textile machine has a winding device (for example, a winding device 11) that winds a yarn (for example, a yarn Y1) from a bobbin (for example, a yarn supplying bobbin B1) to form a package (for example, a package P1). The second textile machine has a spinning device (for example, a spinning device 21) that applies a swirling air flow to a fiber bundle (for example, a fiber bundle T) to generate a yarn (for example, a spun yarn Y2) and winds the generated yarn to form a package (for example, a package P2). The management device communicates with the first textile machine and the second textile machine. In addition, the management device acquires first information regarding the first textile machine (e.g., first information IN1) from the first textile machine, acquires second information regarding the second textile machine (e.g., second information IN2) from the second textile machine, and displays the acquired first information and second information on a display screen (e.g., first display screen GUI1, GUI1', second display screen GUI2, GUI2').

[0126] In the above textile machine system, the management device acquires both the first information about the first textile machine and the second information about the second textile machine, and can display both the acquired first information and second information on a display screen. That is, in the above textile machine system, the management device acquires and manages both the information about the winding device and the information about the spinning device, and by accessing the management device, both the information about the winding device (first information) and the information about the spinning device (second information) can be viewed, so that viewing of these two types of information can be performed efficiently.

[0127] (2) In the textile machine system of (1) above, the display screen may have a display information selection unit (e.g., display information selection unit L1) that selects whether to display the first information or the second information. In this way, by switching between displaying the first information and the second information on the display screen, it is possible to prevent the user from confusing the information of one machine with the information of the other machine. As a result, the information can be viewed efficiently.

[0128] (3) In the textile machine system of (1) or (2) above, the first information and the second information may include information on the operation of the first textile machine and the second textile machine, or information on package production, thereby allowing efficient browsing of information on the operation and information on package production for both the first textile machine and the second textile machine.

[0129] (4) In the textile machine system of (3) above, the first information and the second information may have common information that has a common meaning between the first information and the second information, and unique information that has a different meaning between the first information and the second information. This makes it possible to separately manage the information that is common to the first textile machine and the second textile machine and the information that is different between the first textile machine and the second textile machine.

[0130] (5) In the textile machine system of (4) above, the information display screen may have a display information selection unit that selects whether the first information or the second information is to be displayed. In this case, the management device may display at least one of the common information at the same position on the display screen whether the first information is displayed on the display screen or the second information is displayed on the display screen. This makes it easier for the user to understand the information.
