Automatic yarn piecing robot for ring spinning machines

Abstract

Yarn breaks that occur during production cause direct and indirect interruptions in the production process. The yarn production is directly interrupted at the spindle where the yarn break occurs. An indirect interruption of production occurs as follows: the fibers that have emerged from the drafting system (130) at the spindle where the yarn break occurs are sucked in by the suction pipes without being twisted. If the suction pipes become clogged and cannot perform their functions, the untwisted yarns are scattered in the form of flies in the production area. This situation negatively affects the production of other spindles that are close to the spindle where the yarn break occurred. This situation causes additional yarn breaks in some spindles and leads to quality problems due to the mixing of fly waste with the yarns being twisted. In addition to yarn breaks that occur during the production process, there is another type of break called doffing-related end breaks that causes production loss. Doffing-related end breaks are a part of the production process and occur within certain limits during every doffing process. As a result, thanks to the designed automatic yarn piecing robot, yarn breaks in the production process and doffing-related end breaks will be quickly pieced automatically, independent of humans.

Description

[0001] AUTOMATIC YARN PIECING ROBOT FOR RING SPINNING MACHINES

[0002] Related Art

[0003] The invention relates to ring spinning machines used in yarn production in the textile industry. The said invention comprises a method and an apparatus that enable the rapid, automatic, and human-independent piecing of breakages yarns occurring during the production process and on the doffing-related end of the spinning units in ring spinning machines.

[0004] State of Art

[0005] In today due to increasing competition, the decreasing availability of human resources, and the need for higher productivity, machine manufacturing companies have recently been conducting extensive research and development activities on automatic yarn piecing robots.

[0006] As a result of research conducted on the subject, two patent applications by the Switzerlandbased company Rieter Holding Ltd., namely CN115404578A and CN115896998A, have been identified.

[0007] In our system, the fundamental principle is that the process operates without removing the cop from the ring machine; instead, the spindle belt is released, and the spindle shaft is driven externally to carry out the operation. In Rieter’s application, the spindle brake (48) is stopped by part number 291 , and the cop (44) is removed from the ring machine and transferred to a defined park position on the automatic yarn piecing robot by part number 144, and at this point, the yarn end finding and reserve yarn feeding processes are carried out. Additionally, passing the yarn with the found end under the traveler is done with a very different apparatus and method. The yarn whose end has been found is wound around rods numbered 1341 for reserve purposes. In our method, however, without the need for reserve winding, the yarn’s length and tension are controlled by the clockwise and counterclockwise rotations of the spindle. Another document is the EP 3 643 819 A1 application by the India-based company Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd., which relates to finding the broken yarn end using a suction nozzle numbered 5, positioned at the top of the cop.

[0008] The EP 3 650 381 A1 application by the India-based company Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd. relates to separating the broken yarn end from the yarn bundle (5) using scanner number 7 and suctioning it from the top of the cop with suction nozzle number 2. The EP 3 967 798 B1 application by the India-based company Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd. relates to positioning the traveler using compressed air delivered from a relatively distant location through tubes numbered 6 and 7. Additionally, it involves suction from the top of the cop using suction nozzle number 15.

[0009] The EP 3 556 919 B1 application by the India-based company Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd. relates to an apparatus that positions the yarn drawn by yarn suction nozzle number 14 between the outlet cot and the outlet cylinder. The EP 3 567 142 B1 application by the Indiabased company Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd. describes the process of passing the found yarn end (10) under the traveler (12). It has no relation to our method.

[0010] Another application is the EP 3 748 054 B1 application of the India-based Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd.: The process of passing the end-found yarn (3) through the yarn router (13) is described. The EP 4 249 655 A1 application by the India-based company Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd. describes the use of compressed air applied at points (9a, 9b, 9c) and (6a, 6b, 6c) to locate the yarn end within the yarn bundle. The EP 3 981 898 A1 application of India-based Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd. covers the mechanical braking of the spindle shaft by friction force with parts 8a and 8b for breaking the spindle shaft. The EP 3 913 121 A1 application by the India-based company Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd. relates to an apparatus that positions the located yarn end between the outlet cot and the outlet cylinder.

[0011] Technical Problems That the Invention Aims to Solve

[0012] Thanks to this invention, in a typical ring spinning machine, yarn breakages occurring during the production process, as well as yarn breakages at the doffing-related, can be automatically and rapidly pieced without human intervention.

[0013] If yarn breakages are not tied quickly, the spindle where the breakage occurs directly causes a production loss and indirectly leads to both productivity and quality losses. For example, fibers emerging from the drafting system are sucked in by pneumophilic suction pipes without undergoing any twisting. If the pneumophilic suction pipes become clogged and fail to perform their function, the untwisted yarns are scattered throughout the production region as flies. This situation negatively affects the production of the spindles adjacent to the one where the break occurred. These issues manifest as additional yarn breaks in nearby spindles and as quality problems caused by the fly waste mixing into the yarn during the twisting process.

[0014] The textile industry is a labor-intensive sector. Nowadays, there are increasing difficulties in accessing qualified human resources. In addition, there are numerous human-related error sources present throughout the production process.

[0015] Thanks to this invention, any yarn breakage occurring in ring spinning machines will be resolved quickly and independently of human intervention. Thus, increases in efficiency and quality will be achieved, dependency on human labor will be reduced, competitiveness will be enhanced, and the invention will pave the way for designing automation solutions for other yarn production processes as well.

[0209] Description of the Invention

[0210] Today, ring spinning machines use drafting (130) and twisting mechanisms (100) to produce yarns of specific counts. The production process is negatively impacted by yarn breaks. Yarn breaks occur in two ways: those that occur during the production process and those that occur at the doffing-related. An automatic yarn piecing robot is needed to automatically handle these breaks independently of human intervention.

[0211] The installation of the automatic yarn piecing robot (400) to a typical ring spinning machine will be made by the yarn piecing robot X2 axis motion lower rails (410), side rail (171 ) and the carriages (41 1 ) that will move on these rails and the yarn piecing robot X2 axis motion wheels (413). The yarn piecing robot will be positioned on the spindle where the yarn break occurs, thanks to the X2-axis motion motor (401 ).

[0212] The automatic yarn piecing robot (400), which is positioned on the spindle with the yarn break, has three main mechanisms. These mechanisms are;

[0213] 1 ) Spindle belt release and released spindle drive mechanism (200),

[0214] 2) Yarn piecing and reserve yarn feeding mechanism (300),

[0215] 3) Yarn transfer mechanism (380).

[0216] 1 ) Spindle belt release and released spindle drive mechanism (200),

[0217] The contact of the spindle belt (103) with the spindle shaft (142) is cut off by means of the spindle belt release mechanism (210), which is mounted on the spindle belt release and the release spindle drive mechanism (200), thanks to the spindle belt release pulley (212). Since the spindle belt is mounted on the inside of the release pulley (212), it rotates on its own axis when it comes into contact with the spindle belt (103) without damaging the spindle belt (103). This process occurs in the following order;

[0218] The spindle belt release lever up-down motion cylinder (221 ) makes its upward motion. The spindle belt release lever forward-backward motion cylinder (219) moves forward towards the spindle belt (103) and engages the spindle belt release pulley (212) to the rear part of the spindle belt (103).

[0219] The spindle belt release lever up-down motion cylinder (221 ) moves downwards.

[0220] The spindle belt release lever forward-backward motion cylinder (219) makes a linear motion in the reverse direction, ensuring that the spindle belt release pulley (212) applies traction to the spindle belt (103).

[0221] As the linear motion continues, the cam track motion cylinder (216) positions the cam track guide (217) appropriately, and the cam wheel (218), guided by this track, directs the spindle belt release lever (211 ) to perform a circular motion at a specific angle around the spindle belt release lever bearing axis (223), thereby breaking the contact between the spindle belt (103) and the spindle shaft (142).

[0222] In the process of releasing the spindle belt (103) described above, the springs spring-1 (213) and spring-2 (214), which are mounted on the spindle belt release lever (211 ) rotating at a specific angle around the bearing axis of the spindle belt release lever bearing (223), are subjected to compression and tension forces depending on the direction of the rotational motion. With the completion of the spindle belt (103) release process, spring-1 (213) and spring-2 (214) return to their previous positions and position the spindle belt release lever (211 ) in its middle position (initial position).

[0223] Note 1 : The process described above is valid for the spindle shaft (142) on the left side. The operation is the same for the spindle shaft (143) mounted on the right side.

[0224] After the spindle belt (103) is released, the spindle drive mechanism (230) will be used to operate the spindle at the desired speed in clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

[0225] The spindle drive servo motor (231 ) and the spindle drive belt (233), mounted on the spindle drive bearing (234), are moved forward by the linear motion of the spindle drive mechanism cylinder (232) and the spindle drive belt (233) is brought into contact with the spindle shaft (142). This contact is maintained from the moment the broken yarn end is located until the yarn piecing process is completed. During this process, the spindle drive motor (231 ) is operated at the desired speed, either clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the desired yarn tension and position. When the broken yarn piecing process is completed, the mechanism is positioned in the parking position by the backward motion of the spindle drive mechanism cylinder (232).

[0226] Note-2: The same process is also valid for the motion of the right spindle shaft (143).

[0227] Once the automatic yarn piecing process is complete, production will resume on the problematic spindle. In order to restart production on the affected spindle, contact must be reestablished between the spindle belt (103) and the spindle shaft (142). This process will be achieved as follows:

[0228] With the forward motion of the spindle belt release lever forward-backward motion cylinder (219), the spindle belt release lever (211 ), which is initially positioned at an angle, performs a circular motion at a specific angle around on the bearing axis of the spindle belt release spring bearing (223) and re-establishes the contact between the spindle belt (103) and the spindle shaft (142). With this contact restored, the spindle shaft (142) starts to rotate again, and production continues in this way.

[0229] In order to resolve a yarn break problem on another spindle, the spindle belt release lever (212) must be returned to the park position. This process continues as follows: after the spindle belt release lever forward-backward motion cylinder (219) completes its forward motion, the spindle belt release arm up-down motion cylinder (221 ) moves upward, and subsequently, with the backward motion of the spindle belt release lever forward-backward motion cylinder (219), the spindle belt release lever (211 ) returns to its park position.

[0230] 2) Yarn piecing and reserve yarn feeding mechanism (300)

[0231] As a result of yarn breakages occurring during the production process and at the start of new lots, in order to resume production on the spindles where production has stopped, the following steps are carried out sequentially: a) The broken yarn end is found by means of the broken yarn end finding and reserve yarn feeding head (360). b) The yarn must be passed under the traveler (114). a) The broken yarn end is found by means of the broken yarn end finding and reserve yarn feeding head (360).

[0232] Yarn breaks occur in two different ways. i) Yarn breaks occurring during the production process ii) Yarn breaks occurring at the doffing related. i) Finding yarn ends in breaks that occur during the production process

[0233] When a yarn break occurs during the production process, there is a certain amount of yarn bundle (102) on the cop (101 ). First, the yarn end finding cylinder (31 1 ) mounted on the yarn end finding mechanism (310) moves forward, and the yarn end finding scanner (312) attached to the cylinder (311 ) is brought into contact with the yarn bundle (102) wound on the cop (101 ). With this contact provided, the previously released spindle (142) is rotated at the desired speed clockwise and counterclockwise by the spindle drive mechanism (230). When this process is completed, the end finding cylinder (311 ) moves in the reverse direction and separates the end finding scanner (312) from the yarn bundle (102) wound on the cop (101 ) and returns it to the parking position. The yarn end separated from the yarn bundle (102) is sucked through the broken yarn end finding and reserve yarn feeding head (360) by the vacuum-2 (366) vacuum hose. In order to contribute to the vacuuming process applied in the process of finding the broken yarn end, the A-axis motion cylinder (359) which rotates the broken yarn end finding and reserve yarn feeding head (360) by means of the broken yarn end finding and reserve yarn feeding head bearing (370), the X1 -axis motion cylinder (383) which allows it to move in the X-axis direction, the Y1 -axis motion cylinder (352) which allows it to move in the Y-axis direction and the Z1 -axis motion cylinder (381 ) which allows it to move in the Z-axis direction, are simultaneously operated to effectively scan the surface of the yarn bundle (102) and try to find the broken yarn end.

[0234] Until the broken yarn end finding process is completed, vacuum will be created through the vacuum-2 (366) hose and the yarn holding cylinder-1 (362) will be in the open position. When the process of finding the broken yarn end is completed, first the yarn holder cylinder-1 (362) will close and compress the found broken yarn end, then the vacuum air coming to the Vacuum-2 (366) hose will be cut off. [In this process, Vacuum-1 (365), yarn holding cylinder-2 (366) and yarn end cutting scissors (363) will be in the closed position.]

[0235] The next steps after finding the end of the broken yarn will be described in detail later. ii) Finding the yarn end at the breaks that occur at the doffing-related

[0236] In case of yarn breaks at the beginning of the doffing-related time, there is no yarn bundle (102) on the cop. Therefore, we will need to transfer some yarn onto the cop (101 ). For this purpose, the broken yarn end finding and reserve yarn feeding head (360) will position the reserve yarn in the front part of the feeding transfer pipe (356) with the cylinders (352,381 ,383) that provide the axial movements in the yarn piecing and reserve yarn feeding mechanism (300).

[0237] After this positioning process is completed, a portion of the yarn wound on the reserve feeding cop (355) is transferred to the empty cop (101 ). This process occurs in four steps.

[0238] Step 1 : While vacuuming via the vacuum-2 (366) hose; yarn holding cylinder-2 (364) must be open, yarn holding cylinder-3 (357) must be open, yarn holding cylinder-1 (362) must be closed, vacuum-1 (365) must be closed.

[0239] Step 2: Yarn holding cylinder-1 (362) must be open, yarn holding cylinder-2 (364) must be open, yarn holding cylinder-3 (357) must be open, vacuum must be applied to the vacuum- 1 (365) hose, and the compressed air transferred through the reserve feeding yarn transfer pneumatic air hose (354) will pass through the center of the reserve feeding cop (355) to transfer the reserve yarn to the rotating empty cop (103). During this process, the vacuum-2 (366) hose will not provide vacuum.

[0240] Note: During the application of compressed air transferred via the reserve feeding yarn transfer pneumatic air hose (354), vacuum-1 (365) will be closed.

[0241] Step 3: Yarn holding cylinder-1 (362) will be closed, vacuum-1 (365) will not vacuum, vacuum-2 (366) will vacuum, yarn holding cylinder-2 (364) will be open, yarn holding cylinder- 3 (357) will be closed and at this time, the yarn end cutting scissors (363) will close and cut the yarn in between.

[0242] Step 4: Yarn holding cylinder-1 (362) will be closed, vacuum-1 (365) will not vacuum, vacuum-2 (366) will not vacuum, yarn end cutting scissors (363) will be closed, yarn holding cylinder-2 (364) will be closed, and yarn holding cylinder-3 (357) will be closed.

[0243] In this way, a sufficient amount of yarn will be wound on the empty cop (103), and the yarn end held by the yarn holding cylinder- 1 (362) will be ready to start other process steps.

[0244] The subsequent process steps are the same as the process of piecing the yarn breaks that occur during the production process described in item “i” and will be described in detail later. b) The process steps of passing the yarn with found end (102a) through the lower part of the traveler (114);

[0245] The yarn with found end (102a) must be passed under the traveler (114) in order to continue the piecing process. This process is carried out as described below. The traveler centering mechanism forward-backward motion cylinder (322) located inside the traveler centering mechanism (320) moves the traveler centering and yarn positioning mechanism (330) in the park position forward and positions it in the ring (113) region. The yarn (102a), which is held with a certain pressure force by the yarn holding cylinder-1 (362), mounted on the broken yarn end finding and reserve yarn feeding head (360), is subjected to the pulling process with the “+” direction movement of the Y1 -axis motion cylinder (352). With this movement, the yarn with found end (102a) is brought to a position close to the yarn positioning vacuum port (334) located on the traveler centering and yarn positioning mechanism (330), and at this point, with the effect of the vacuuming force obtained through the vacuum transfer hose (336), the yarn with the found end (102a) will stick to the yarn positioning vacuum port (334). After the yarn adheres to the yarn positioning vacuum port (334), the traveler centering mechanism rotates the traveler centering mechanism forwardbackward motion cylinder (322) around its own axis by means of the rotation cylinder (321 ) located on the traveler centering mechanism (320), until it contacts the ring (113) by means of the traveler centering mechanism rotation bearing (323). As a result of the completion of the rotation movement, the yarn (102a) is clamped and fixed between the yarn compression bearing (117), which will be in contact with the yarn positioning vacuum port (334).

[0246] In order for the yarn (102a), whose end has been found and whose position has been fixed, to be passed under the traveler (114), the traveler (114) must be centered. In order to center the traveler (1 14), pneumatic air will be sent at certain times and in certain directions through the traveler guiding pneumatic air hoses (337,338,339) positioned in certain directions around the ring (1 13). The traveler (114), which gains movement with the push of pneumatic air sent in certain directions and timings, will be in contact with the angled surfaces on both sides of the traveler centering bearing (333) mounted on the traveler centering and yarn positioning mechanism carrying lever (340), and the position of the traveler (331 ) will be clarified thanks to the traveler centering support magnet (331 ) mounted on the front part.

[0247] The yarn transfer mechanism (380) will be used to pass the yarn (102a), whose end is located and is held with a certain force by the yarn holding cylinder-1 (362), under the traveler (114). The operation of the yarn transfer mechanism (380) is described below.

[0248] 3) Yarn transfer mechanism (380),

[0249] The transfer of the found and fixed-position yarn (102a) during the process of passing it under the traveler (114), through the balloon breaker (116), through the yarn guide (121 ), and positioning it between the outlet cot (132) and the outlet cylinder (133), is provided by the axis movements of the yarn transfer mechanism (380). The process of passing the yarn with found end (102a) under the traveler (1 14) from the yarn bundle (102) by the yarn piecing and reserve yarn feeding mechanism (300) has been initiated. This ongoing process will be completed as described below by means of the yarn transfer mechanism (380).

[0250] - Completion of the process of passing the yarn (102a) under the traveler (114),

[0251] The yarn (102a) will be passed under the traveler (1 14) thanks to the “+” directional movement of the yarn transfer mechanism X1 -axis motion cylinder (383), directional movement of the Y1 -axis motion cylinder (352), “+” and directional movements of the Z1 -axis motion cylinder (381 ) and the yarn passing support levers (332) mounted under the traveler centering and yarn positioning mechanism (330).

[0252] After the yarn is passed under the traveler (1 14), the traveler centering mechanism (320), through the traveler centering mechanism forward-backward motion cylinder rotation cylinder

[0253] (321 ) located on it, rotates the traveler centering mechanism forward-backward motion cylinder

[0254] (322) around its own axis by means of the traveler centering rotation bearing (323), thereby moving away from the ring (1 13) with a rotational movement. After the rotational movement is completed, the traveler centering mechanism forward-backward motion cylinder (322), located on the traveler centering mechanism (320), performs a backward pulling motion and pulls the traveler centering and yarn positioning mechanism (330) back to its park position.

[0255] Passing the yarn (102a) through the balloon breaker (116),

[0256] As a result of the programmed movements of the X1 -axis motion cylinder (383) in the “+” and directions, the Y1 -axis motion cylinder (352) in the “+” and directions, the Z1 -axis motion cylinder (381 ) in the “+” direction, and the rotational motion of the A-axis motion cylinder (359), the yarn (102a) will be passed through the balloon breaker (1 16).

[0257] Passing the yarn (102a) through the yarn guide (121 ),

[0258] The yarn (102a), which has passed through the balloon breaker (116), will be guided through the yarn guide (121 ) as a result of the programmed movements of the yarn transfer mechanism: the X1 -axis motion cylinder (383) in the “+” and directions, the Y1 -axis motion cylinder (352) in the “+” and directions, the Z1 -axis motion cylinder (381 ) in the “+” direction, and the rotational movement of the A-axis motion cylinder (359).

[0259] Positioning the yarn (102a) between the outlet cot (132) and the outlet cylinder (133), The yarn (102a), having passed through the yarn guide (121 ), will be positioned between the outlet cot (132) and the outlet cylinder (133) as a result of the programmed movements of the yarn transfer mechanism's X1 -axis motion cylinder (383) in the “+” and directions, the Y1 - axis motion cylinder (352) in the “+” and directions, the Z1 -axis motion cylinder (381 ) in the “+” direction, and the rotational movements of the A-axis motion cylinder (359).

[0260] In ring spinning machines, during the spinning process, the ring rail (11 1 ) moves up and down at certain periods. After the automatic yarn piecing robot (400) is positioned at the spindle with the yarn break, in order to operate synchronously with the ring rail, the yarn piecing and reserve yarn feeding mechanism carrier bearing (503) of the Z2-axis motion cylinder (502) will position the yarn piecing and reserve yarn feeding mechanism mounting plate (504) on the ring rail (1 11 ) by means of the yarn piecing and reserve yarn feeding mechanism synchronized motion nail (505). After this positioning process, the yarn piecing and reserve yarn feeding mechanism (300) and the yarn transfer mechanism (380) will move up and down synchronously. After the yarn piecing process is completed, the yarn piecing and reserve yarn feeding mechanism mounting plate (504) will be positioned to the parking position by the yarn piecing and reserve yarn feeding mechanism carrier bearing (503) with the upward movement of the Z2-axis motion cylinder (502).

[0261] In order to reduce the force applied on the ring rail (1 11 ) during the upward movement of the yarn piecing and reserve yarn feeding mechanism (300) and the yarn transfer mechanism (380) positioned on the ring rail (11 1 ), the synchronized movement will be maintained in a healthy manner thanks to the balancing weight of the yarn piecing and reserve yarn feeding mechanism (405).

[0262] Industrial Application of the Invention

[0263] The automatic yarn piecing robot (400) for ring spinning machines, which is the subject of the invention, will be easily installed on the existing machines in use and the newly produced machines.

[0264] With this invention, automatic yarn piecing robot integration can be easily achieved by means of rails (410, 171 ) to be mounted on only two sections of a typical ring spinning machine and carriages (411 ) and wheels (413) that will move on these rails.

[0265] Thus, significant contributions will be achieved in today’s environment, where competition is increasingly intense, access to human resources is becoming more difficult, and the concepts of efficiency and quality are coming to the forefront.
