Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The invention relates to a method for supplying a plurality of working stations of a textile machine for producing a yarn package with a yarn feed device extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine supplies at least two service units for supplying the yarn bobbins to the working stations. The service units have operating means for stopping the yarn bobbins on the supply device and for receiving the yarn bobbins from the supply device. When a yarn bobbin is requested by a service unit, the service unit is assigned the yarn bobbin and handed over to the supply device. The invention also relates to a textile machine for producing a yarn package for carrying out the method. The textile machine comprises a control device for controlling the service units. [Background technology]

[0002] In textile machines for producing twill packages, in particular in rotor or air spinning frames or winding machines, a service unit is used which can run on a guide rail on the long side of the textile machine. The tasks of the service unit include splicing or joining the yarn after a yarn break and feeding the bobbins to the work stations. The service unit is in turn fed by a feed device running in the longitudinal direction of the machine, preferably a conveyor belt on which the bobbins are transported lying down. In order to keep downtimes of the work stations in the event of a yarn break or a bobbin change as short as possible, several service units are used in textile machines, for example two service units on each long side of the machine.

[0003] DE 199 05 856 A1 describes a rotor spinning machine which has several work stations between end frames, which are arranged on both long sides of the machine. The work stations each have a spinning device and a downstream winding device and are supplied during operation by several service units. For bobbin exchange at the work stations, the service units are requested and positioned at the work stations. When a bobbin is requested from the bobbin magazine, this is transported to the work stations by means of a transport belt. The service units have operating means with which the delivered bobbin can be removed from the transport belt. The bobbin is then positioned in an operating position in the spinning device of the work station.

[0004] Such a service unit generally comprises a sensor, which detects the presence of a bobbin at or approaching the receiving position. Such a sensor may for example be configured as an optical proximity switch, in particular as an optical switch. An optical switch has an optical transmitter and a receiver integrated in one unit. The optical switch reacts to light reflected from the bobbin. Capacitive proximity switches are also possible. What all these sensors have in common, however, is that they only detect the presence or proximity of a bobbin. These sensors cannot distinguish between different bobbins.

[0005] If a service unit working further away from the bobbin magazine requests a bobbin as a first service unit, and before the bobbin reaches this first service unit, a second service unit positioned closer to the bobbin magazine also requests a bobbin, it may happen that the bobbin determined for the first service unit is removed from the conveyor belt by the second service unit, since this service unit, as described above, is not able to distinguish between the various bobbins.

[0006] Therefore, in EP 1 675 797 it was already proposed that in the event of a bobbin requirement of a first service unit positioned downstream in the conveying direction of the supply device, a subsequent bobbin requirement of a second service unit is suppressed until the first existing bobbin requirement has been satisfied.

[0007] A first existing bobbin request can be considered satisfied if the first service unit that requested the bobbin receives the bobbin. Alternatively, a first existing bobbin request can be considered satisfied if the first requested bobbin passes through a second service unit. That is, the second bobbin request is held up until a path to the requesting service unit is clear.

[0008] The throttling of later bobbin requests leads to a reliable allocation of bobbins to the requesting service unit and effectively prevents the service unit from receiving bobbins that have not been allocated to it, but the waiting time caused by the throttling of bobbin requests reduces the productivity of the textile machine.

[0009] EP 3279123 discloses a method for supplying empty bobbins to a maintenance device of a textile machine, in particular a spinning machine, in which the bobbins are supplied in one direction by means of a conveyor to a work station of the textile machine, to which a maintenance device requiring a new bobbin is located. If, while at least one bobbin is present on the moving conveyor, a further maintenance device simultaneously requests the supply of a bobbin, a further bobbin is placed on the moving conveyor. Here, the mutual positions of the work stations of the machine, to which a maintenance device requiring a new bobbin is located, must be evaluated. With regard to optimal utilization of the machine's working time, a decision must be made regarding the optimal sequence of allocation of the bobbins present on the moving conveyor to the individual maintenance devices requiring a new bobbin. This should reduce the downtime when a bobbin is required and thus increase productivity. However, EP 3279123 does not solve the problem of receipt of a bobbin by a maintenance device to which no bobbin is assigned, as explained at the beginning.

[0010] DE 195 12 891 A1 discloses a textile machine for producing twill packages, which has a number of identical work stations, each with an intermediate bobbin store, a bobbin transport device for moving the bobbins stored in a central magazine close to each other, and an operating device for automatically feeding the work stations. The operating device has an operating mechanism for transferring the bobbins delivered on the bobbin transport device to the intermediate bobbin store of the work stations. However, disadvantages of such an intermediate store are the constructional costs and the additional space required at the work stations. Furthermore, in the case of operations at various locations, the reliable preparation of the correct bobbins cannot be guaranteed. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0011] [Patent Document 1] DE 19905856 A1 [Patent Document 2] European Patent No. 1675797 [Patent Document 3] European Patent No. 3279123 [Patent Document 4] DE 19512891 A1 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0012] SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE It is therefore an object of the present invention to ensure a fast and reliable supply of cross wound bobbins to a work station. [Means for solving the problem]

[0013] To achieve this object, a method is proposed for supplying a number of work stations of a textile machine for producing a yarn package with a yarn-wound package, in which at least two service units for supplying the work stations with yarn-wound bobbins are supplied from a supply device extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine, the service units having operating means for stopping the yarn-wound bobbin on the supply device and for receiving the yarn-wound bobbin from the supply device. When a yarn-wound bobbin is requested by a service unit, the service unit is assigned the yarn-wound bobbin and hands it over to the supply device. The operating means receives the yarn-wound bobbin from the supply device and loads it into a winding device of the work station without further storage. According to the invention, the time of handover of the yarn-wound bobbin to the supply device, the conveying speed of the supply device as well as the position and speed of the requesting service unit are detected and evaluated. According to the invention, the operating means of the requesting service unit are driven and controlled depending on this evaluation so that the requesting service unit receives the yarn-wound bobbin assigned to it.

[0014] The evaluation of the time of delivery of the cross wound bobbin to the supply device, the transport speed of the supply device and the position and speed of the demanding service unit allows the demanding service unit to receive the cross wound bobbin in a reliable manner, whereby this evaluation can be performed on the basis of known equations of motion for uniform motion, which in this case consist in particular of the relationship between the path length s, the speed v and the time t. s = v t

[0015] Preferably, the service unit requests the cross-wound bobbin as soon as it receives a request from the work station, thereby achieving rapid readiness of the cross-wound bobbin.

[0016] The requesting service unit preferably receives the cross wound bobbin assigned to it as soon as the cross wound bobbin arrives at the service unit, thereby avoiding unnecessary delays.

[0017] In this case, the requesting service unit preferably receives the cross wound bobbin assigned to it before it reaches the requesting work station.

[0018] Preferably, the evaluation includes determining when an operating means for stopping the strand on the feeder should be activated. Alternatively, it is also possible to determine the position of the strand or the service unit at which an operating means for stopping the strand on the feeder should be activated.

[0019] According to a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the evaluation comprises the calculation of a target time point for the arrival of the requesting service unit in the requesting service unit by the cross wound bobbin assigned to the requesting service unit.

[0020] This target time is determined by the position s H and the location s of the requesting service unit SA If they match, that is, s H =s SAis reached in the case

[0021] The position can be expressed by the path distance between this position and a reference position, which is preferably the position at which the transfer of the cross wound bobbin to the supply device takes place.

[0022] Position of the cross-wound bobbin H Here, the following formula is used: s H =v T (t Z -t0) In this case, the conveying speed of the supply device is v T and the target time t Z and the time t0 at which the cross-wound bobbin is delivered to the supply device.

[0023] The position of the service unit must in any case be known in order to position it in front of the requesting work station. This position can be obtained, for example, by communication between the service unit and the work station which receives the supply of the strands or by a corresponding sensor system, as is known in various embodiments of the prior art. For the sake of explanation, first the position s of the service unit is SA is assumed to remain constant during the delivery of the bobbin, i.e. the service unit is, for example, already positioned in front of the requesting work station.

[0024] Therefore, the target time is calculated by the following formula: t Z =s SA / v T Calculated by +t0.

[0025] In order to take into account various tolerances, a time frame is preferably provided at the target time point for activating the operating means for stopping the yarn winding bobbin on the feeding device. Ideally, this time frame is selected in such a way that the activation of the operating means for stopping the yarn winding bobbin is completed before the yarn winding bobbin reaches the service unit. Furthermore, the tolerances that arise on the feeding device due to the bobbin transport can be taken into account. In the case of a feeding device configured as a conveyor belt, for example, slippage between the yarn winding bobbin and the belt when the bobbin is placed must be taken into account.

[0026] Notwithstanding the above assumptions, the service unit requesting the cross wound bobbin does not necessarily need to be located at this point in time in front of the work station to which the cross wound bobbin should be delivered. When the service unit has finished a task at a work station, the next task is preferably identified from the task list. If this task requires a bobbin delivery, the cross wound bobbin is requested from the service unit. Once the request is confirmed, the service unit starts working on the work station of the next task.

[0027] Therefore, according to the invention, the rate of the requesting service unit is also detected and estimated. SA To take this into account, the target time t Z Position of the service unit in s SA For s SA =v SA (t Z -t0)+s SA0 can be used, where s SA0 is the position of the service unit at the start, i.e. when the cross wound bobbin is delivered to the supply device.

[0028] Position of the cross-wound bobbin HBy using the formula for , the target time can be calculated again. At the calculated target time, the service unit does not yet have to have reached the requesting work station. Rather, this service unit can already receive the bobbin on its way to the corresponding work station.

[0029] In the last embodiment of the invention, the position of the cross wound bobbin on the feeding device is not necessary. Only the target time is calculated here. This calculation is preferably carried out at the time when the cross wound bobbin is transferred to the feeding device. A repetition of this calculation is only necessary if the conditions change.

[0030] According to an alternative embodiment of the method according to the invention, the position of the cross wound bobbin on the supply device, which is assigned to the requesting service unit, is determined from the time of delivery of the cross wound bobbin to the supply device and the transport speed of the supply device.

[0031] The invention therefore also offers a simple possibility of determining the position of the bobbin present on the feeder. The position of the bobbin can be determined at any time from the time when the bobbin is handed over to the feeder and from the transport speed of the feeder. The path distance travelled by the bobbin on the feeder and therefore the position s of the bobbin in the textile machine can be determined. H is determined by the integral of the speed of the feed device from the time of delivery to the current time. In the simple case where the conveying speed is constant, this integral is expressed as follows: s H =v T (t-t0) speed v T can be replaced by multiplying by the period (t-t0) between the time t0 of delivery of the cheese to the supply device and the current time t.

[0032] That is, all that is required to control the operating means of the service units in such a way that only the bobbins assigned to each service unit are received is a comparison of the known positions of the service units with the positions of the bobbins present on the feeder. This embodiment of the invention therefore also successfully prevents a service unit from receiving a bobbin that is not assigned to it, even when there are several bobbins on the feeder. By comparing the position of the service unit with the positions of the bobbins present on the feeder, the time at which the operating means should be activated in order to stop the bobbins on the feeder is identified.

[0033] In a manner known per se, the service unit has operating means for stopping the strand on the feeder and for receiving the strand from the feeder, which operating means make it possible to stop the strand before the service unit even in the case of a running feeder. The operating means for stopping the strand can be activated already before the strand is in the working range of the service unit, so that the next strand passing the service unit is stopped and can be received by the service unit.

[0034] According to a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the operating means for stopping the cross wound bobbin is activated at the latest when the distance between the position of the cross wound bobbin assigned to the requesting service unit and the position of the requesting service unit falls below a predetermined permissible distance.

[0035] According to the last-mentioned embodiment of the invention, the position of the cross-wound bobbin on the feeder is now always known, and the distance between the cross-wound bobbin and the service unit waiting in front of the work station that needs to be operated can be calculated simply. In order to increase the reliability of the bobbin reception, the operating means of the service unit are not activated only when the positions of the cross-wound bobbin and the service unit coincide, but rather are activated already before that. This makes it possible to compensate for errors in the determination of the position, which may occur, for example, due to slippage of the cross-wound bobbin on the feeder configured as a conveyor belt.

[0036] The invention makes it possible to immediately hand over a stranded bobbin to the supply device when it is requested. This handover is limited only by the cycle time of a bobbin magazine in which a number of stranded bobbins are stored for handover. This cycle time is the time between the removal of a bobbin from the bobbin magazine and the handover to the supply device. As a result, a minimum distance between two stranded bobbins occurs on the supply device. The permissible distance from the service unit to the stranded bobbin, at which the operating means of the service unit are activated, is preferably shorter than the minimum distance between two stranded bobbins. This ensures that a wrong stranded bobbin, i.e. a stranded bobbin not assigned to the service unit, is never received.

[0037] According to a preferred development of the invention, the actuating means for stopping the cross wound bobbin is activated at the earliest when there are no other cross wound bobbins between the cross wound bobbin assigned to the requesting service unit and the requesting service unit, i.e. the actuating means can be activated as soon as the path for the cross wound bobbin assigned to the requesting service unit is free.

[0038] As already explained, the invention allows a reliable management of a number of strands on a supply device, so that, preferably, when a strand is requested by a second service unit, the second strand is assigned to this service unit and handed over to the supply device independently of the request status of the first strand.

[0039] Therefore, there is no need to suppress the second bobbin request as known from the prior art. In the case of the second bobbin request too, the cross wound bobbin can be immediately handed over to the supply device, even if the first bobbin request has not yet been fulfilled. This reduces waiting times and increases the productivity of the textile machine.

[0040] Preferably, the second bobbin request is handled in a similar manner to the first bobbin request: the time of delivery of the second bobbin to the supply device, the transport speed of the supply device and the position of the second requesting service unit are detected and evaluated, and the control means of the second requesting service unit are actuated so that, depending on the evaluation, the second requesting service unit receives the second bobbin assigned to it.

[0041] Advantageously, the operating means for stopping the cross wound bobbin is not used when a cross wound bobbin not assigned to a demanding service unit approaches said demanding service unit, i.e. when a first cross wound bobbin approaches a second demanding service unit, this second demanding service unit can pass the first cross wound bobbin.

[0042] The method according to the invention allows a reliable management of a number of strands of bobbins on a supply device, even if the allocation of the strands of bobbins to the demanding service units is changed after the strands of bobbins have been delivered to the supply device. Such changes in the allocation of a number of strands of bobbins present on a supply device to the demanding service units are known from the prior art mentioned at the outset in order to improve the utilization of the working time of the machine. In the case of the invention, it is only important that a service unit receives a strand of bobbins only if the strand of bobbins is also assigned to the service unit at the time of receipt.

[0043] Based on the inventive evaluation of the time of delivery of the cross-wound bobbin to the supply device, the transport speed of the supply device and the position of the requesting service unit, the known sensor for detecting the presence of the bobbin in the receiving area of ​​the service unit can be omitted. Nevertheless, for redundancy reasons, it may be advantageous to additionally detect the approach of the cross-wound bobbin to the receiving position of the requesting service unit using a sensor. Advantageously, the position of the cross-wound bobbin on the supply device determined from the time of delivery to the supply device and the transport speed of the supply device is compared with the position of the cross-wound bobbin detected using a sensor. Alternatively, the calculated target time at which the cross-wound bobbin assigned to the requesting service unit should reach the requesting service unit can be compared with the time at which the sensor detects the cross-wound bobbin. This makes it possible to identify the cross-wound bobbin detected by the sensor and to determine whether it is assigned to the relevant service unit on the detection side.

[0044] Furthermore, the object is achieved by a textile machine for producing a strand package, comprising a plurality of work stations, for carrying out the method according to the invention, in which at least two service units for supplying the work stations with strand bobbins are supplied from a supply device extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine, the service units have operating means for stopping the strand bobbins on the supply device and for receiving the strand bobbins from the supply device, and when a strand bobbin is requested by a service unit, the service unit is assigned to the strand bobbin and handed over to the supply device, the textile machine comprising a control device for controlling the service units. According to the invention, the control device detects and evaluates the time of handover of the strand bobbin to the supply device, the conveying speed of the supply device and the position of the requesting service unit. The control device drives and controls the operating means of the requesting service unit in such a way that, depending on the evaluation, the requesting service unit receives the strand bobbin assigned to it.

[0045] In the following, the present invention will be explained in more detail based on examples. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0046] [Figure 1] Rotor spinning machine with service unit. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 shows a simplified diagram of the control principle of the service unit. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0047] The rotor spinning machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 has several work stations 4 between its end frames 2 and 3, which are arranged on both long sides of the machine. The work stations 4, each including a spinning and winding device, are served by four service units 5, 5A, 5B, 5C which can run along the sides of the machine on a rail structure 6. If a yarn break occurs in one of the work stations 4 or if a bobbin change is to be performed, one of the service units 5, 5A, 5B, 5C is automatically activated. The rotor spinning machine 1 further comprises a trellis package transport device 7 arranged between the work stations 4 for transporting the completed trellis packages, and a bobbin supply device 8. The bobbin supply device 8 here includes a central bobbin magazine 9 arranged at the end side of the machine, a bobbin distribution device 10, and two bobbin transport belts 11, 12 extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine, which supply bobbins to each work station 4 on the long side of the machine.

[0048] The service units 5, 5A, 5B, 5C have not shown operating means for stopping the twin bobbins 17, 17A on the bobbin transport belts 11, 12 and for receiving these twin bobbins 17, 17A from the bobbin transport belts 11, 12. The operating means are further configured for loading these twin bobbins 17, 17A into the packaging frames of the respective work stations 4. The operating means receive the twin bobbins 17, 17A from the bobbin transport belts 11, 12 and load them into the packaging frames of the respective work stations 4 without further storage. If the service unit 5, 5A, 5B, 5C receives the twin bobbins 17, 17A before the service unit 5, 5A, 5B, 5C reaches the requesting work station 4, the twin bobbins 17, 17A are kept in the operating means until the service unit 5, 5A, 5B, 5C reaches the requesting work station.

[0049] The service units 5, 5A, 5B, 5C are connected via lines 13 (FIG. 2) to a control device 14 which controls the four service units 5, 5A, 5B, 5C as a central control device and which is itself connected via lines 15 to the bobbin supply device 8 and via lines 16 to other control devices and machine modules not shown.

[0050] If during the spinning operation the twine package reaches the desired diameter at one of the work stations 4, this should be replaced with a new twine bobbin as soon as possible. The replacement of the full twine package with a new twine bobbin is carried out in this example by a service unit 5B, which travels to the requesting work station 4 and requests a bobbin from the bobbin supply device 8 via the control device 14. The twine bobbin is placed on the conveyor belt 12. The moment of handover is detected by the control device 14. This can be done, for example, by storing a time or starting a timer. At the same time, the progress related to the conveying speed of the bobbin conveyor belt 12 is detected and stored. The position at which the service unit 5B starts to operate and the speed at which the service unit 5B travels in the direction of the requesting work station are known. The twine bobbin is designated in FIG. 1 by the reference number 17. It moves in the direction of the arrow from the conveyor belt 12 towards the service unit 5B. From the handover time of the twin bobbin 17, the conveying speed of the bobbin transport belt 12, the starting position of the service unit 5B and the running speed of the service unit 5B, a target time can be calculated for the twin bobbin 17 to reach the service unit 5B, at which time the service unit 5B receives the twin bobbin 17 and continues its run to the requesting workstation 4. Due to the handover time and the conveying speed, the position of the twin bobbin 17 on the transport belt 12 is always known and can be compared with the current position of the service unit, which results for example from the starting position of the service unit 5B and the running speed of the service unit 5B.

[0051] If a service unit likewise requires a twin-wound bobbin 17A after the service unit 5B, while the bobbin 17 is still being prepared for the service unit 5B, this request for the twin-wound bobbin 17A is immediately executed by the control device 14, and is independent of the position of the twin-wound bobbin 17 requested by the service unit 5B. The control device 14 also detects the moment of delivery of the twin-wound bobbin 17A to the bobbin transport belt 12. Due to the transport speed of the bobbin transport belt 12, the position of the twin-wound bobbin 17A on the bobbin transport belt 12 is also always known. Advantageously, also in this case, a target moment for the arrival of the twin-wound bobbin 17A at the service unit 5C is calculated.

[0052] That is to say, there is no risk of the cross-wound bobbin 17 assigned to the service unit 5B being stopped by the service unit 5C when it passes through the service unit 5C. The control device 14 determines that at this time the position of the service unit 5C does not sufficiently coincide with the position of the cross-wound bobbin 17A assigned to this service unit 5C, or that this time does not sufficiently coincide with the target time at which the cross-wound bobbin 17A should reach the service unit. To this extent, the operating means of the service unit 5C are also not activated. If the operating means of the service unit 5C have already been activated to stop the cross-wound bobbin 17A, they can be deactivated in time to allow the cross-wound bobbin 17 to pass unhindered.

[0053] Only when the cross-wound bobbin 17 reaches the service unit 5B is it received by this service unit. Similarly, the cross-wound bobbin 17A is received by the service unit 5C. The invention makes it possible to ensure that only the cross-wound bobbin assigned to a service unit is received by this service unit. [Explanation of symbols]
