Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new type of thread tensioner usable on any type of textile material, and more particularly on machines for twisting and / or twisting yarns of any kind.
  • a device according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from document DE-A-2 016 263.
  • tensioning devices which include on the one hand, a pulley whose periphery has a friction layer and is in contact with the wire over at least part of its circumference, and on the other hand, means for braking said pulley.
  • These means of pulley braking consist of an eddy current brake having the form of an asynchronous type motor whose rotor is integral with the pulley shaft and whose stator windings are powered by an adjustable direct current source.
  • Such a type of tensioner which, in general, corresponds to the device making the subject of US-A-3 797 775, is not satisfactory, in particular by the fact that it requires a power supply and therefore it is necessary to have as many power connections as there are tensioning devices.
  • the aforementioned FR-A-2 145 056 aims to overcome this drawback, the braking device which he describes being constituted by a generator electric whose rotor is secured to the pulley shaft, and whose armature is connected to a load resistor, the magnetic field of the generator being supplied by a permanent magnet.
  • FR-A-2 167 957 describes a solution in which braking for wire guidance is obtained by making a magnet whose number of magnetic poles is even, this magnet being placed opposite a disc the face of which is pierced with several holes, disc which supports the pulley of wire guide. Braking of the pulley is obtained by varying the distance between the disc and the magnet.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the means for adjusting the spacing between the magnets and the pulley to be braked, comprise a second assembly exerting a counter-thrust, of adjustable value, tending to separate the magnets relative to the surface of the crown, said counter-thrust means being constituted by a source of compressed air acting on the face of a piston mounted fixed on the axis, bearing against a bearing surface of the latter, and the other of which face is subjected to the action of the first thrust means, the supply of compressed air being carried out simultaneously on all the tensioners that the machine comprises via a common pneumatic line.
  • the variation of the spacing between the magnets and the crown associated with the pulley to adjust the tension communicated to the wire by the tensioner can, according to the invention, be obtained either by displacement longitudinal of said magnets on the axis carrying the pulley, said axis being then fixedly mounted on the machine frame, either by displacement of the axis support of said pulley, the attachment to the frame of the machine then being produced through the box supporting the magnets.
  • Figure 1 illustrates, schematically and viewed from the side, a working position of a so-called "direct cable” textile machine, allowing two elementary wires to be assembled by false twist.
  • each working position therefore makes it possible to join by twisting two elementary wires (A, B) from two power sources (1,2).
  • the wire (A) from the spool (1) passes through a turntable (3) or the like so as to form a balloon (4) inside which is arranged the power source (2) for the wire (B).
  • the assembly of the two wires (A) and (B) is obtained by twisting at the meeting point (5), then the cable (6) formed is returned conventionally, for example on a winding system (7) not imparting additional torsion.
  • the call of the two wires (A) and (B) constituting the cable (6) is given by the winding speed in (7).
  • tensioning systems (8,9) are provided for each wires (A, B).
  • the tensioner (8) adjusts the reserve length of the wire (A) around the plate (3) and acts as a shock absorber which absorbs jolts reel reel (1), which keeps a balloon (4) very regular.
  • the tensioner according to the invention is particularly suitable for be used to give tension to the wire (A) which passes inside the turntable (3) and forms the balloon (4).
  • the stranding machine equipped with tensioners (8) according to the invention is therefore consisting of a plurality of identical working positions arranged side by side side by side, the tensioners (8) to ensure the tension of the wire (A) coming from the support (1) carried by a creel arranged, in the case present, on the upper part of the machine, are mounted individually on a support plate (35) carried by said frame.
  • the positioning of these tensioners is advantageously located on the machine frame at the level of the winding system, in front of it, the wire (B) being brought directly to the brake (9) located upstream of the wiring point (6) in the extension of the axis of the power source (2) of the wire (B).
  • the tensioner (8) has as an element to communicate the tension in the wire a pulley consisting of two cups (11,12) between which the wire passes (A), these cups being mounted on a hub (13) which is itself mounted free in rotation by means of bearings (14) the end of a tree (15). Said cups (11,12) are blocked on the hub via a nut-shaped assembly (16), which allows to adjust the pressure of the cups one against the other and consequently the tension that they apply to the wire.
  • the wire (A) passes through space between the two cups and is maintained at their zone interpenetration, the wire envelope around said cups being determined by two guides (17,39) (shown only in FIG. 3), arranged respectively upstream and downstream of the support plane.
  • the hub (13) which supports the pulley has on its face opposite said pulleys, a crown (18) made of a ferro-magnetic material such as for example based on ferrite.
  • the means for braking the pulley are constituted by a plurality of permanent magnets (19) the number of two in this case, and in the form of pellets having a diameter of 15 mm. These magnets are mounted concentrically with the shaft (15) on a support (20), itself immobilized inside a case (21). The support (20) is locked by means of screws (22), is immobilized in rotation relative to the shaft (15), but is however free in translation relative to the latter.
  • the tensioner includes means allowing the spacing between the magnets (19) and the crown (18) carried by the pulley, this variation being between a minimum value of 1 mm, which avoids any risk interference due to geometric defects and maximum spacing, function of the power of the magnets, which in this case is 4 mm.
  • These means for adjusting include all first a first thrust assembly which tends to bring the support closer (20) magnets (19) of the crown. This movement is limited by one predetermined minimum value and is obtained, in this case, by a assembly in the form of a spring (23) arranged around the shaft (15) and in support, on the one hand on a fixed annular bearing (24) integral with the housing (21) and, on the other hand, on the rear face of a piston (32) integral with the shaft (15), which allows sliding of the housing (21) relative to the assembly (32-15).
  • the housing (21) is designed to so as to present on its rear face (33) a shoulder (34), which therefore makes it possible to produce a chamber (25) between the bottom of the case and the face (26) of the piston, the other face of the piston pressing against a shoulder provided on the shaft (15).
  • Seals (30) and (31) are provided to ensure the sealing of the chamber (25). Inside this chamber (25), opens the inlet (36) of a compressed air supply.
  • the tree (15) is fixedly mounted on a support (35) integral with the machine frame.
  • the displacement of the magnets relative to the pulley is obtained by moving the housing that supports the magnets on the shaft which is kept fixed on the machine. It could be considered to proceed in reverse, that is to say to mount the fixed box on the machine, which will then cause the pulley to move relative to said housing.
