Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for applying finishing agents to a running textile thread or running textile yarn, with a container for finishing and an application organ for their application.
  • Avivage means textile auxiliaries such as emulsions from plants and Mineral oils that improve the behavior of threads during further processing.
  • the treatment the threads with finishing are called finishing.
  • Known application devices of finishing agents such as those used for the production of sewing thread, consist of a bath container and a rotating driven delivery roller which partially immerse in an aviva bath in the bath tank.
  • the thread touches the delivery roller on a part of their upward circumference without diving into the aviva bath and is guided so that it touches the dispensing roller at an angle that by a few Degree deviates from the perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the discharge roller.
  • the invention is now to provide a device of the type mentioned at the outset, which influences the amount of finish to be applied without interfering with the machine enables, and with which there is only slight pollution of the machine and the environment.
  • DE-C-43 33 716 describes a method and a device for applying finishing agents (Preparations) described on yarns or threads, with which one at room temperature flowable preparation agent is heated immediately before application and is applied directly.
  • the essential feature of the invention described in DE-C-43 33 716 is that Heating the preparation agent, which is flowable at room temperature, causing a harmful Separate and thus a change in the composition from when hot miscible components of the preparation should be excluded.
  • the preparation is in the required Amount is applied, and that the device for applying the preparation is a metering device to adjust the amount of the preparation agent supplied, it is missing but any revelation of how to set the required amount. It is therefore assumed ensure that the dosing device can be adjusted to a desired delivery rate, but that every possibility of influencing or controlling the flow rate once set missing during the application of the preparation.
  • the device according to the invention opens up this possibility and thus represents both economical and ecological A significant improvement.
  • the named encoder by a machine terminal or a sensor for the yarn speed educated.
  • the solution according to the invention enables a function of the yarn speed Dosage of the medium to be applied, so that even with changes in speed constant application on the thread is guaranteed.
  • the information about the yarn speed receives the control unit of the dosing system from the machine control, or if it does so the requested information is not available from a yarn speed sensor.
  • a second preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention is thereby characterized that a heater to enable the application of viscous Avivage is provided.
  • a third preferred embodiment is characterized in that the metering system has a pump that can be driven by a stepper motor.
  • a fourth preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention is thereby characterized in that the application nozzle by an annular through which the thread Nozzle is formed
  • the invention further relates to the use of said device for applying Finishing agents on a winder.
  • a preferred embodiment of this use is characterized in that the Control unit of the dosing system the current diameter of the on the winder manufactured coil supplied and that the flow rate of the medium to be applied from Coil diameter is affected.
  • This use has the advantage that the thread has a diameter of the bobbin dependent order profile can be created, i.e. with a non-constant finishing order is worked, which is advantageous for certain applications.
  • the winding station shown in Fig. 1 consists essentially of a plug 1 for receiving a supply spool 2 with a thread 3, a finishing device 4 for applying Finishing agents, a thread brake 5, a machine terminal 6 and a winding unit 7.
  • the machine terminal 6 contains the various winding programs and is used on the one hand for Entry of the data relevant to the winding process, such as winding material (stacking, Filament yarn, textured yarn), winding speed, etc.) and on the other hand for control the connected components of the winding station.
  • the winding unit 7 consists of a spindle 9 which can be driven by a motor 8 for receiving and holding a coil sleeve 10, on which a coil 11 is wound, one not shown device for laying the thread 3 on the bobbin 11 and a freely rotatable Roller 12 on which the coil 11 abuts.
  • the roller 12 is on a suitable carrier part 13 Dishwasher mounted.
  • the device for laying the thread 3 for example refer to EP-A-1 125 878 and EP-A-1 210 423.
  • the winding station also contains a control unit 14 for the finishing device 4 as well as an inlet part arranged in front of the thread brake 5 in the thread running direction and one outlet part arranged after the thread brake. Since the latter elements are known and also do not form the subject of the present invention, they are not shown.
  • the finishing device 4 shown in FIG. 2 consists of an application nozzle 15 for the Applying finish to the thread 3, a stepper motor 16 and a gear pump 17 containing dosing system for the controlled conveyance of the finish from a storage container 18 to the application nozzle 15, and from a heating element 19.
  • the stepper motor 16 and the heating element 19 are connected to the control unit 14 and controlled by the latter.
  • the area of the application nozzle 2 is a temperature sensor connected to the control unit 14 20 provided for measuring the temperature of the finishing agent supplied to the application nozzle 15.
  • the application nozzle 15 can be arranged laterally next to the thread and the Apply Avivage at a right or an acute angle, or them can be designed as an annular nozzle and run through the thread F. The latter enables you all-round and even order from Avivage.
  • the speed of the thread F is in the machine terminal 6 or in one connected to it Computer calculated from the speed and diameter of the coil 11 and the control unit 14 fed. This controls the stepper motor 16 so that on the thread 3, independently from its speed, the same adjustable amount of finish is applied.
  • the Order quantity of finishing agent is dosed depending on the speed and it is also at Changes in thread speed (e.g. different winding recipe, ramps, and the like) a constant application on the thread is guaranteed.
  • the desired order quantity is for the individual thread materials known for a certain speed and is in the machine terminal or in the control unit on the basis of those entered into the machine terminal 6 Values for the material and the winding speed calculated.
  • the order quantity is usually in Percent stated, where the percentage is based on the weight of the wound yarn refers. If, for example, one speaks of a finishing order quantity of 10%, then this means that 10 g of finish are applied to 100 g of bobbin-coated finished yarn. usual Avivage orders are between 1.5% and 12%.
  • the finishing device can be used 4 also a finishing job profile depending on the diameter of the coil 11 will be realized.
  • the machine terminal 6 "knows" the current spool diameter, either by measurement with a sensor or by calculation, and performs this value of Control unit 14, which the dosing system 16, 17 according to the desired job profile controls.
  • the heating element 19 makes it possible to liquefy viscous additives and to make them hot apply.
  • the heating element 19 is controlled accordingly by the control unit 14, wherein the temperature sensor 20 measures the temperature of the finish and to the control unit 14 reports.
  • the finishing device is also activated via the control unit 14 4 stopped and the metering system 16, 17 and the heating element are turned off.
  • finishing device 4 on a winding machine is only exemplary and not to be understood as restrictive.
  • the finishing device 4 can be used on any Yarn manufacturing, yarn processing or yarn finishing machine can be used.
  • finishing device 4 with the metering system 16, 17 exist in compensating for variables such as winding speed and different yarn materials the desired, constant amount of aviva can always be applied becomes. This opens up the possibility of only applying as much finishing as is necessary, which is too leads to a significant reduction in machine pollution.
  • Another advantage lies in the application nozzle 15. Since this is the finishing agent directly on the Applies thread 3 passing through, the pollution of the environment is very strong reduced.
  • An additional advantage of the finishing device 14 is the possibility of Realization of an avivage job profile dependent on the diameter of the coil, what certain applications is desired.
