Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for friction spinning, in which the fibers are twisted together on a thread formation line by rotation of two friction elements which are driven in the same direction and form a wedge gap, and are drawn off as thread, and a device for carrying out this method.
  • the fibers are fed from a disintegration device via a fiber channel into the wedge gap between the two friction elements designed as rollers.
  • the rotational movement of the two rollers twists the fibers together to form a thread and, in continuation of the wedge gap, is drawn out of the wedge gap by a thread draw-off tube.
  • a pair of rollers is provided as the thread take-off device.
  • the friction elements are arranged relative to one another in such a way that the thread is as deep as possible in the wedge gap. In this way, the slip between the friction elements and the thread is kept low.
  • the thread end After a thread break, the thread end must be reinserted into the spinning device, i.e. the thread must be inserted with its open end through the thread draw-off tube between the two friction rollers into the wedge gap.
  • the thread end it is difficult to put the thread end straight into the narrow wedge gap. This requires complex additional devices and air ducts.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method and a device for friction spinning which ensure simple and safe piecing, but which also give reliable rotation during the subsequent spinning process.
  • the thread is not only placed in the thread formation line, but that when the thread runs off the friction elements, its contact pressure is increased against at least one of the friction elements. This can influence the rotation and the appearance of the thread.
  • a thread guide element arranged immediately after the friction elements can be moved transversely to the thread take-off direction, so that this can bring the thread into the position desired for the return delivery, piecing and spinning.
  • the thread guide element in the wedge gap plane Through the movement of the thread guide element in the wedge gap plane, the thread is drawn into the wedge gap and thus an increased influence of the friction elements is achieved.
  • the thread can be returned unhindered to the piecing position by the counter movement of the thread guide element. It is advantageous if, in addition to its movement along the wedge gap plane, the thread guide element can be moved transversely to the wedge gap plane in order to bring the thread against the friction element rotating into the wedge gap.
  • the thread take-off tube can be moved axially parallel to the thread forming line or alternatively pivotable about an axis running transverse to the thread take-off direction.
  • the thread take-off tube is concentric with the thread forming line of the friction elements in the direction to the end of the thread formation line delimiting the thread take-off tube. This can be achieved by pivoting or by guiding the thread take-off tube in a link guide.
  • the effect of a change in the contact pressure between the thread and the friction element can be further increased in that one or both of the facing thread contact surfaces of the friction elements and the thread guide element has a surface with an increased coefficient of friction and / or a profile. It is not necessary that this thread contact surface with the increased coefficient of friction and / or the profiling is constantly in the thread take-off area. If this should be disadvantageous during the normal spinning process, it can be provided according to the invention that this thread contact surface can only be brought into the thread take-off path by a movement of the thread guide element.
  • the subject matter of the invention is simple in structure and enables the spinning process to be influenced in its various working phases.
  • the friction between the thread and the friction elements will be completely eliminated.
  • the contact pressure between the thread and the friction elements can be graded or continuously varied. On the one hand, this increases the piecing security and the strength of the piecing.
  • the character of the yarn, in particular the roughness of the yarn can be varied in many ways.
  • the friction spinning device contains two rotationally symmetrical friction elements in the form of two cylindrical friction rollers 1 and 10, which form a wedge gap 11 or spider gusset.
  • the two friction rollers 1 and 10 are perforated and vacuumed in the area of the wedge gap 11 during spinning. For this purpose, they are connected to a suction device in a manner not shown.
  • the two friction rollers 1 and 10 are mounted in a bearing 2 and are driven in the same direction by a tangential belt 20 (see arrow 13).
  • the friction rollers 1 and 10 are assigned a fiber feed device (not shown), from which the fibers 30 are guided into the wedge gap 11 of the friction rollers 1 and 10 via a fiber feed channel 3.
  • the thread 47 is drawn off from the wedge gap 11 by a thread pulling device 4, which consists of a drive roller 40 and a pressure roller 41 pressed against the drive roller 40 by a loading means.
  • the thread 47 is wound on a spool, not shown.
  • a suction device 21 is arranged at the level of the wedge gap 11.
  • a thread guide element designed as a thread take-off tube 5.
  • the thread take-off tube 5 is pivotally mounted about an axis 50 transversely to the thread take-off direction (arrow 42).
  • An electromagnet 6 is provided as the drive and is connected to the thread draw-off tube via a coupling member 60.
  • This coupling member 60 is surrounded by a compression spring 61, which is on the one hand on the thread take-off tube 5 and others supports on the other hand on the housing of the electromagnet 6, so that the thread draw-off tube 5 is pivoted into its broken position II when the electromagnet 6 has fallen off.
  • the thread guiding element 5, which is designed as a thread take-off tube 5 is pivoted parallel to the plane of representation in the wedge gap plane 12 (see FIG. 2), so that during this pivoting movement, a thread 47 drawn off by the thread take-off tube 5 is shifted in the wedge gap plane 12.
  • Wedge gap plane 12 is understood to mean the plane whose position is determined by the common tangent of the two friction rollers 1, 10.
  • the thread take-off tube 5 is pivoted into the position marked III in FIG. 1 .
  • the thread take-off device 4 is driven in the opposite direction to the normal thread take-off direction, so that the thread 47 is returned in the opposite direction to the arrow 42 to the friction elements 1 and 10.
  • the thread end leaving the thread take-off tube 5 in the direction of the friction elements 1 and 10 is now outside the thread formation line 43 and is made using one of the suction means direction 21 incoming suction air flow brought into the piecing position.
  • the thread take-off tube 5 is brought back into the position I by the relaxing compression spring 61.
  • the thread 47 is placed in the thread formation line 43 to bind the fibers.
  • the fiber feed into the wedge gap 10 is switched on again and the direction of rotation of the thread draw-off device 4 is reversed.
  • the thread 47 is then withdrawn from the wedge gap 11 with the continuous integration of the fibers 30 continuously fed to the wedge gap 11.
  • a stepping drive 62 (see, for example, FIG. 7) is provided, by means of which the thread take-off tube 5 via the coupling member 60 optionally in the one or the other direction can be pivoted over the desired path.
  • the rotation of the thread 47 can be changed practically continuously.
  • the size of the contact pressure which leads to optimal results when piecing or spinning itself, depends on various factors such as surface and speed of rotation of the friction rollers 1 and 10, fiber material to be spun, yarn thickness etc.
  • a guide 45 (FIG. 5) can be connected to the thread take-off tube 5, which guides the thread 47 at least at the outlet of this thread take-off device 4 axially to the clamping line between the drive roller 40 and the pressure roller 41 takes.
  • the thread draw-off device 4 or an auxiliary draw-off device (not shown) can also be pivoted together with the thread draw-off tube 5.
  • the thread draw-off tube 5 is moved along the wedge gap plane 12 during these pivoting movements, but other directions of movement can also be defined for the thread draw-off tube 5.

  • the axis 50 shown in FIG. 1 for the thread draw-off tube 5 can be mounted correspondingly deviating from the perpendicular to the wedge gap plane 42.
  • Fig. 7 shows another embodiment in which the thread take-off tube 5 is mounted in an eccentric disc 53 which is rotatably supported by a bearing 54. Part of the axis of rotation of the eccentric disk 53 is designed as a pinion 55, with which a rack 63 is engaged. This rack 63 is driven by a stepper drive 62 in either direction.
  • the thread take-off tube 5 When the eccentric disk 53 is adjusted along the double arrow 522, the thread take-off tube 5 always maintains its axis-parallel position to the thread formation line 43. As shown in FIG. 7, the axis of rotation of the eccentric disk 53 is arranged such that when the thread take-off tube 5 moves from the position I shown by the solid line to the position III, for. B. for piecing, the thread take-off tube 5 practically moves along the wedge gap plane 12 (FIG. 2) while the thread take-off tube 5 during a movement from its position I - in the extension of the thread formation line 43 (FIG. 1) - into the position II receives a movement component against the friction roller 10 turning into the wedge gap 11 (see arrow 13).
  • the thread contact surfaces 140 and 150 facing the thread take-off tube 5 are provided with a profile 16 in the form of notches in the area of these peripheral edges 14 and 15.

If several such thread contact surfaces 590, 58 and 59 are provided, these can also be designed differently in order to influence the roughness or smoothness of the thread 47. For example, the thread 47 experiences a kind of polishing or smoothing through smooth edges.
  • the thread formation line 43 is formed solely by the friction elements designed as friction rollers 1 and 10.
