Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such transport devices for automatically replacing the full bobbins with empty bobbin tubes are used in particular in double-sided spinning machines.
  • a conveyor belt is arranged on each machine side above the headstock, which is partly designed as a chain and partly as a rope.
  • the conveyor belt is guided around a deflection roller and set in motion by drums, on which ropes attacking at the ends of the chain run.
  • Hollow cylinders are arranged on the conveyor belt, which are opened on both sides and are provided with a cover on one side.
  • the various hollow cylinders are alternately attached to the chain and serve to remove the full bobbins and to feed the empty bobbin tubes.
  • the conveyor belt with the hollow cylinders undergoes an oscillating movement during the change processes, which results in long change intervals as a result of the unused return on large machines.
  • JP-PS 47-39 740 is an endless chain for transporting the bobbin tubes and for trans A conveyor belt is provided for the spinning bobbins.
  • the full bobbins are lifted by a device and placed on the conveyor belt.
  • the same device places the empty spool sleeves on the spindles. Due to the two conveyor belts, the known device is complex on the one hand and not very easy to automate on the other.
  • an endless conveyor belt is proposed on each machine side, which is designed as a belt or belt and is arranged above the spindles.
  • the endless conveyor belts are each deflected by means of two deflection rollers and driven by a drive unit.
  • Fork-shaped drivers are provided on the conveyor belt at a distance from the spindles.
  • the conveyor belt is pivoted in the direction of the spindles so that the drivers are arranged at the level of the full bobbins.
  • the drivers engage in the coils due to the rotary movement of the conveyor belt.
  • the bobbins are raised with a lifting device and carried out in the region of a guide roller during a backward movement of the conveyor belt.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a transport device of the type mentioned that the structure is simplified and suitable for extensive automation.
  • the belt which is guided over both machine sides by means of guides and / or deflection rollers can be of any length.
  • the transport device according to the invention can thus also be used with very large machine lengths.
  • the steel strip is guided in an upright position in guides which are provided on horizontal supports which are arranged on both machine sides of the spinning machine.
  • the band is preferably slidably held at its edges in slot-like guides which are arranged one above the other on the carriers in one plane.
  • the carriers are approximately formed with an L-shaped cross section, the slot-like guides being arranged on the vertical leg and the horizontal leg being formed with a sliding surface.
  • the entraining means on the belt can be designed as receptacles which rest on the sliding surface in a sliding manner and have a pin for fastening the spinning bobbin and the bobbin tube.
  • the recordings are preferably made of plastic.
  • the attachment to the steel belt can be done with a screw or just by hanging it in an elongated hole. This embodiment of the transport device according to the invention is particularly simple since only a few parts are required.
  • Another embodiment of the subject matter of the invention provides drivers for the transport of plates running on sliding surfaces on the belt, the drivers having receiving surfaces which are adapted to the plates and partially enclose them.
  • Such plates are known in textile technology and are used in various ways as receptacles for spinning bobbins and bobbin tubes.
  • This embodiment of the transport device according to the invention is therefore particularly suitable for combination with other transport systems.
  • the plates in the area of a deflection roller can be discharged onto a conveyor belt adjacent to the transport device.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a spinning machine (1) which is arranged next to a winding machine (2).
  • the spinning and winding machines used today are characterized by high throughput and a high degree of automation. For this reason, an efficient transport system is required to remove the spinning bobbins and to feed the bobbin tubes.
  • a belt (3) is arranged on the double-sided spinning machine (1), which is guided over both machine sides.
  • the formed as an endless, flexible steel belt (3) serves to remove the spinning spools (7 ') and to feed the spool sleeves (7 ⁇ ) to the spindles of the spinning machine (1).
  • the conveyor belt (3) with deflection rollers (13) around both machine sides of the spinning machine (1) serves as the drive roller of the conveyor belt (3) and is connected to a drive unit, not shown in the drawing.
  • the band (3) is on the one hand around the end frame (1 ⁇ ) of the spinning machine (1) and on the other hand in the area of the end frame (1 ') through an opening (11) in the frame Spinning machine (1) performed.
  • a gripping device (4) which is arranged between the spinning machine (1) and the winding machine (2), serves to remove the spinning bobbins (7 ') and to feed the bobbin tubes (7 ⁇ ) to the belt (3).
  • the belt (3) is guided upright on both sides of the machine on supports (5) which are fastened horizontally to the spinning machine (1).
  • Fig. 3 the carrier (5) is shown in section.
  • the carrier (5) has an approximately L-shaped cross section.
  • slot-shaped guides (5 ⁇ ) are provided one above the other in one plane.
  • the edges (3 ', 3 ⁇ ) of the band (3) are guided in these guides (5 ⁇ ).
  • Receptacles (6) which are made of plastic, are fastened to the band (3) by means of screws (8).
  • the receptacles (6) have on their underside sliding parts (6 ⁇ ) which rest on a sliding surface (5 ') of the horizontal leg of the carrier (5).
  • the receptacle (6) is guided on the side facing away from the band (3) in a further slot-shaped guide (5 ′′′).
  • a pin (6 ') is provided for fastening the spinning bobbin (7') and the bobbin tube (7 ⁇ ).
  • the pin (6 ') is shaped so that on the one hand a secure fixation of the spinning bobbin (7') and the bobbin tube (7 ⁇ ) is achieved and on the other hand a removal or supply is possible without any problems.
  • drivers (9) are attached to the upright belt (3), which serve to transport plates (10).
  • plates (10) are known in textile technology and have pins (10 ') for receiving spinning bobbins (7 ') and bobbin tubes (7 ⁇ ).
  • the plates (10) lie on a horizontal sliding surface (5 ') of the carrier (5).
  • the drivers (9) have receiving surfaces (9 ') which are adapted to the shape of the plate (10).
  • the distance between the carriers (9) is selected so that the plates (10) are fixed between two carriers (9), so that there is no need for further guidance on the carrier (5).
  • This form of training of the subject matter of the invention is particularly suitable for combination with other transport systems known in textile technology.
  • a conveyor belt (14) is positioned in the region of a deflecting roller (13) of the conveyor belt (3).
  • the conveyor belt (14) is arranged at the level of the sliding surface (5 ') of the carrier (5), so that the plates (10) can be removed from the sliding surface (5') onto the surface of the conveyor belt (14).
  • the gripping device (4) is provided with gripping pins engaging in the sleeves of the spinning bobbins (7 '), it is necessary that the sleeves are guided as precisely as possible. It can then happen that the sleeves are attached to the pin (10 ') of the plate (10) with a seat causing a force fit.
  • the drivers (9) and / or the carrier (5) are provided with elements which overlap the plates (10), which can have the shape of tabs located above the plate (10).
