Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for switching roving bobbins in a spinning frame. More specifically, the presnet invention relates to a roving bobbin exchange method and apparatus in a spinning frame in which two front and rear rows of bobbin hangers are arranged on a,creel, roving bobbins are hung on the bobbin hangers of the two front and rear rows, and spinning is carried out by guiding rovings to a drafting zone from the roving bobbins.
  • bobbins supplied from a roving process which are to be mounted on a creel of a spinning frame, have a full bobbin diameter larger than the spindle pitch of the spining frame.
  • roving bobbins are arranged in two rows in the longitudinal direction of the machine frame at an interval two times as long as the spindle pitch, and roving rods or roving guides are arranged between the front and rear rows of the bobbins to guide rovings from the roving bobbins.
  • the roving bobbins are hung in the upper portion of the machine frame at the respective positions above the height of a worker.
  • a recent tendency is to utilize a full bobbin having a very heavy weight exceeding 3 kg.
  • 54(1979)-3978 provided a semi-automatic method for exchanging exhausted roving bobbins with full ones, wherein roving creels are capable of displacement between their spinning and standby positions and wherein the roving bobbin exchange operation is manually carried out at the standby position.
  • the troublesome exchange operation of exhausted bobbins by full ones can be carried out more easily compared with the known manual or automatic operation, because the bobbin exchange operation can be eliminated for the bobbins held by the bobbin hangers of the rear row.
  • the invention enalbes an automatic bobbin exchange apparatus of a simpler construction than the known apparatus.
  • two rows of bobbin hangers are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the spinning frame so as to supply rovings to the draft parts from the bobbins held by the bobbin hangers.
  • the spinning operation is commenced with half exhausted roving bobbins held by the bobbin hangers of either the rear row or front row and full roving bobbins held by the bobbin hangers of the other row.
  • halfexhausted roving bobbins become fully exhausted or become very small and almost exhausted, the full roving bobbins become half exhausted.
  • the exhausted or very small bobbins are exchanged with full roving bobbins.
  • the relative position between the roving bobbins of the front row and the roving bobbins of the rear row, which supply a roving to the two adjacent draft parts, is switched without crossing the rovings, and the relative position between roving bobbins is stepwisely changed from one end of the row of spindles to the other end.
  • the basic-apparatus for carrying out the method of the present invention is a roving supply device which supplies a roving to each one of two adjacent draft parts corresponding to the above-mentioned pair of bobbin hangers disposed above the draft parts.
  • This device comprises a suppportingmechanism capable of holding two roving bobbins in a hanging condition, a guide member for guiding two rovings from the roving bobbins to the corresponding draft parts respectively, a mechanism for turning the supporting mechanism 180° about a vertical axis which passes through a central point between the holding positions of the roving bobbins, and a mechanism for temporalily changing the distance between the axes of two bobbin hangers before and after the motion of the turning mechanism.
  • the bobbins of the front row are switched with the bobbins of the rear row before or after the exhausted or half-exhausted bobbins are exhanged with full bobbins preliminarily prepared, for exchange of the exhausted or half-exhausted bobbins at any time.
  • spinning can be started whether full bobbins are mounted on the bobbin hangers of the front row or on bobbin hangers of the rear row.
  • full bobbins be mounted on bobbin hangers of the front row and, when half-exhausted be switched with small bobbins of the rear row, because the switching of the relative position between them can be performed in a narrow space very smoothly.
  • the operation may be effected at any time, so long as the diameter of the roving bobbins of the rear row and the diameter of the roving bobbins of the front row allow a troublefree 180° turning motion of the supporting mechanism for the bobbin hangers of the roving bobbin exchange apparatus.
  • each roving guide member 16 is disposed at a position between a roving bobbin 15B held by a bobbin hanger of the front row and roving bobbin 15C held by a bobbin hanger of the rear row and the corresponding draft parts 17 in such a condition that the center of the roving guide is located at a symmetrical central position with regard to the above-mentioned two bobbin hangers and the corresponding two draft parts 17. Therefore, these roving guides 16 are aligned along the longitudinal direction of the spinning frame.
  • Fig. 1 from the right, the first and second pairs of roving bobbins 15B and 15C are shown in the state after completion of the operation of switching the relative position of the bobbins.
  • the third pair of roving bobbins 15B and 15C is shown in a 90° turning condition of the relative position.
  • the fourth pair of roving bobbins 15B and 15C drawn by the solid lines shows the condition before the roving bobbin exchange operation.
  • the pair drawn by the broken lines indicates the condition where the axial distance between the two roving bobbins 15B and 15C is reduced from the initial distance ab, which is the distance for carrying out the spinning operation, to the shortest distance cd, which is the distance for turning the mechanism for supporting the pair of bobbin hangers about the central axis of this supporting mechanism.
  • the initial axial distance of the bobbin hangers is ab.
  • the distance ab is reduced to cd by displacing the bobbin hangers.
  • the supporting mechanism of these bobbin hangers is turned 90° clockwise about the central axis thereof (toward the direction indicated by an arrow) so that the relative position of the roving bobbins 15B and 15C becomes that represented by the second pair of roving bobbins from the left.
  • the supporting mechanism is then further turned 90° clockwise about the central axis thereof.
  • the axial distance between the above-mentioned two roving bobbins 15B and 15C is returned to the initial distance ab. Accordingly, the relative position between two roving bobbins 15B and 15C is switched from the initial condition to the reverse condition thereof.
  • the roving guide 16 is provided with a guide surface sufficiently wide, the contact points of these two rovings with the guide surface of the roving guide 16 can be moved such that the two rovings from the roving bobbins 15B and 15C do not contact each other. Therefore, if the turning direction of the second step is alternated with each cycle of the roving bobbin exchange operation applied to each side arrangement of the spindles, crossing of the above-mentioned two rovings can be effectively prevented.
  • the apparatus for carrying out the above-mentioned method is hereinafter explained in detail with reference to the embodiment disclosed in Fig. 2 to Fig. 13.

  • the stop position detector 38 detects the bobbin hanger holder 12 of the bobbin hanger 14 of the rear row which has been exchanged, the roving bobbin exchange machine 10 is stopped at the next roving bobbin exchange position and the half-exhausted bobbin of the front row is exchanged with the small bobbin of the rear row.
  • the roving bobbin exchange machines perform exchange of bobbins of the front and rear rows for two spindles in succession. After completion of exchange of bobbins for one creel, the exchange machines travel in the reverse direction and returned onto the transporting truck 26 atanding by on the outside end.
  • the transporting truck 63 When exchange of medium bobbins with small bobbins on both the sides of the creel is thus completed and the left and right roving bobbin exchange machines are returned onto the transporting truck, the transporting truck 63 is connected to the gear side end of the spinning frame 1 at an appropriate timing.
  • the left and right roving bobbin exchangers 64 loaded on the truck 63 are forwarded from the gear side end toward the outside end, and exchange of exhausted bobbins 15C of the front row with spare full bobbins 15A is performed in succession from the gear side end to the outside end.
  • the exhausted bobbins 15C shifted from the bobbin hanger 14 of the front row of the creel to the bobbin hanger 18A of the spare rail 4 are actually half-exhausted bobbins 15C on which small quantities of rovings are left. Rovings being spun are cut by this exchange.
  • the bobbins hung on the spare rail are those with still a very small quantity of roving remaining.
  • the left and right roving bobbin exchangers 64 which have completed exchange of bobbins for one creel travel in the reverse direction on completion of piecing of the rovings and are returned onto the transporting truck 63.
  • full bobbins 15A hung on the spare rail 4 are supplied before exchange of bobbins of the front and rear rows.
  • the supply of full bobbins 15A is performed before the completion of exchange of the bobbins of the front and rear rows.
  • exchange of the bobbins of the front row with full bobbins is started after the completion of exchange of the bobbins of the front rear rows for all the spindles.
  • full bobbins 15A are mounted on the bobbin hangers of the front row and half-exhausted bobbins 15B are mounted on the bobbin hangers of the rear row. Spinning is started in this state.
  • the roving bobbin exchange can be automatically carried out by the roving bobbin exchange machines 10 and roving bobbin exchangers 64 used in the above-mentioned embodiment.
  • the embodiments illustrated in Figs. 2 through 14 is one for carrying out the method of the present invention automatically by means of the roving bobbin exchange apparatus 10.
  • the method of the present invention can also be carried out without using the roving bobbin switching machine.
  • a pair of front and rear bobbin hangers are attached to rod-like or plate-like bobbin hanger supporting members, and the supporting members are supported on the creel turnably in the horizontal plane.
  • the supporting members are manually turned.
  • the supporting members are made telescopic so that the length of the supporting member can optionally be changed.
  • roving wound diameter difference between bobbins of the front row and bobbins of the rear row in roving bobbins to be mounted on the creel at the start of spinning, only bobbins of one of the front and rear rows become small bobbins while bobbins of the other row become half-exhausted bobbins. Accordingly, roving bobbin exchange is performed independently for each row. Furthermore, at the time of exchange of half--exhausted bobbins with small bobbins, no interference is caused between adjacent half-exhausted and small bobbins of the front and rear rows and, therefore, exchange can easily be accomplished even in a narrow space.
  • the exchange operation is carried out independently for each bobbin hanger so that no tension is imposed on the roving being spun, breakage of the roving is not caused even if the exchange operation is carried out during the spinning operation. Therefore, the exchange can be performed automatically during the operation of the spinning frame.
  • small bobbins to be exchanged with full bobbins are located on the front row of the creel, the exchange of small bobbins with full bobbins can be performed very easily. This operation can be carried out very easily and promptly, even manually. Furthermore, since only bobbins of the front row are exchanged with full bobbins, automation of this operation can easily be accomplished.
