Condition Display Device for Yarn Winding Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In yarn-winding machines, there is a need to display both the winding condition and the yarn-defect determination condition simultaneously, as they are currently managed by separate controllers, making it difficult for operators to monitor and adjust these settings effectively.
Innovation Solution
A condition display device that includes a winding-condition acquisition unit, a determination-condition acquisition unit, a display unit, and a display controller to show both the winding condition and yarn-defect determination condition, allowing operators to visualize and manage these settings together.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If winding condition and yarn-defect determination condition are managed by separate controllers, then each controller can independently manage its own settings, but operators cannot easily check both conditions together
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display functions of multiple controllers into a single display unit. The display unit shows both winding conditions from the winding controller and yarn-defect determination conditions from the yarn-defect determination controller simultaneously, allowing operators to monitor all conditions in one location without requiring multiple separate controllers or display devices.
2Reliability
If multiple separate controllers are used for different functions, then each controller can be optimized for its specific function, but the system becomes more complex and harder to monitor
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit is designed with multi-functionality, serving as a universal display interface for multiple different controllers. It can display various types of information including winding conditions, yarn-defect determination conditions, and other operational parameters, replacing the need for multiple specialized display devices while maintaining functional independence of the controllers.

AI summary
A condition display device 40 includes: a winding-condition acquisition unit 43 that acquires the winding condition for forming a package 26a; a determination-condition acquisition unit 44 that acquires a yarn-defect determination condition for determining the presence of a yarn defect; a touch panel 41; and a display controller 46 that causes the touch panel 41 to display the winding condition and the yarn-defect determination condition. The display controller 46 causes touch panel 41 to display the winding condition acquired in the winding-condition acquisition unit 43, and the yarn-defect determination condition for determining presence of the yarn defect for the yarn that is wound under the winding condition acquired.
