Solution Overview

Problem

The existing spinning systems require multiple operators on different floors due to the presence of a mezzanine floor, which complicates operations and increases operational burdens, and results in higher air conditioning costs.

Innovation Solution

A spinning system configuration where the spinning section and take-off section are on the same floor, eliminating the need for a mezzanine floor, with take-off roller pairs that include roller advancing and retracting means to facilitate the hooking and bending of filament yarns, reducing operator burden and space requirements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a mezzanine floor is introduced to accommodate the godet roller, then the spinning system can be implemented, but operations on the first floor require multiple operators and air conditioning costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespinning system implementationVSAvoidyarn setting operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the mezzanine floor structure from the spinning system layout. The godet roller is repositioned to operate directly on the first floor alongside the take-up winder, eliminating the need for the intermediate mezzanine level. This extraction of the problematic structural element resolves the operational complexity and reduces staffing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent reconfigures the vertical arrangement of components by changing the floor level assignment. Instead of placing the godet roller on a mezzanine floor (intermediate dimension), it is positioned on the same first floor as the take-up winder, effectively using horizontal space more efficiently and eliminating the need for vertical intermediate structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of manufacture

If a mezzanine floor is introduced to accommodate the godet roller, then the spinning system can be implemented, but air conditioning costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespinning system implementationVSAvoidair conditioning cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the mezzanine floor structure from the spinning system layout. The godet roller is repositioned to operate directly on the first floor alongside the take-up winder, eliminating the need for the intermediate mezzanine level. This extraction of the problematic structural element resolves the operational complexity and reduces staffing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Ease of operation

If take-off roller pairs with advancing and retracting means are used, then yarn hooking is facilitated, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveyarn hooking operationVSAvoidtake-off section structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The take-off rollers are designed with advancing and retracting capability, transforming from static to dynamic components. This allows the rollers to move forward to hook the yarn and retract to release it, automating the yarn transfer process and improving operational ease despite the added mechanical complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The take-off roller system with advancing and retracting means enables automatic yarn hooking and transfer without requiring manual intervention. The mechanism serves itself by automatically positioning the rollers to capture and transfer yarn from the spinning section to the take-up winder.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present invention provides a technique allowing facilitation of operations performed on the first floor, for example, setting of filament yarns in a take-up winder. The take-up winder 1 includes a spinning section 2 located on the second floor to spin filament yarns Y, a take-off section 3 taking off the filament yarns Y spun by the spinning section 2, from the spinning section 2, and a winding section 4 located on the first floor to wind the filament yarns Y. taken off by the take-off section 3. The take-off section 3 and the spinning section 2 are arranged on the same, second floor.
