  • Step a2 the control portion 64 controls the first injecting portion 60 so that a compressed fluid is injected from the untwisting-nozzle hole 32 into the yarn-accommodating space 31. Accordingly, in the yarn-accommodating space 31, the rotating flow F1 that rotates about the central axis L1 is formed, and the plurality of two-ply yarns 70 and 71 that are to be pieced into each other are angularly displaced together with the rotating flow F1 about the central axis L1.

Accordingly, in the yarn-accommodating space 31, the compressed fluid collides against the plurality of two-ply yarns 70 and 71 that are to be pieced into each other. In this case, the plurality of two-ply yarns 70 and 71 that are to be pieced into each other are displaced, loosened, and intertwined into each other by a strong impact received from the compressed fluid. Accordingly, as shown in Fig.
  • the two-ply yarns 70 and 71 are complexly intertwined into each other, and the two two-ply yarns are joined to each other.
  • the supply of a compressed fluid from the second injecting portion 61 is stopped, and the procedure proceeds to Step a4.
  • Step a4 the control portion 64 controls the splicing assistance portion 63 so that clamping of the plurality of two-ply yarns is cancelled or an unnecessary yarn portion is cut, for example. Then, the control portion 64 discharges a yarn obtained by piecing out of the yarn-accommodating space 31, and ends the piecing operation.
  • the unnecessary yarn portion is cut after Step a3, but Step a3 may be performed after the unnecessary yarn portion is cut.

  • the compressed fluid injected from the untwisting-nozzle hole 32 proceeds along the first side Z1 in the axial direction while spirally rotating about the central axis L1. Accordingly, two-ply yarns can be untwisted over a wide range in the axial direction Z, and thus, the subsequent step of loosening and intertwining the two-ply yarns can be effectively performed. Furthermore, when the spirally rotating flow F1 that proceeds along the first side Z1 in the axial direction is formed, the two-ply yarns 70 and 71 are angularly displaced about the central axis L1 in a state where the front end portions of the yarns are extended to the first side Z1 in the axial direction, and thus, the yarns can be effectively untwisted.
  • the injection opening 32a of the untwisting-nozzle hole 32 is disposed closer to the second side Z2 in the axial direction than the injection opening 33a of the piecing-nozzle hole 33.
  • portions of the two-ply yarns that have been untwisted by the first injecting portion 60 can be loosened by the second injecting portion 61 to facilitate intertwining. Accordingly, the degree of the two-ply yarns intertwined can be further increased.
  • the injection opening 32a of the untwisting-nozzle hole 32 is formed in the shape of an elongated opening that extends in the axial direction Z. Thus, a rotating flow that spirally rotates can be easily formed.
  • the injection opening 33a of the piecing-nozzle hole 33 is formed in the shape of an elongated opening that extends in the axial direction Z.
  • a compressed fluid injected from the piecing-nozzle hole 33 is injected in a direction perpendicular to the central axis L1 and proceeds perpendicularly to the joining face 42. Accordingly, the compressed fluid for piecing can be prevented from moving in the axial direction Z, and the impact imparted to yarns for piecing can be increased.
  • control portion 64 selectively switches whether or not the untwisting step is necessary according to at least one of the type of yarn material, the type of yarn-twisting, and the total amount of fibers contained in a plurality of yarns that are to be pieced into each other.
  • the piecing step may be performed after the yarn-accommodating step without performing the untwisting step.

Furthermore, information indicating the type of yarn-twisting, the total amount of fibers contained in a plurality of yarns that are to be pieced into each other, and the like is given as input values into the control portion 64. Accordingly, the control portion 64 determines whether or not the untwisting step is necessary. In the case where it is determined that the untwisting step is necessary, the untwisting step is performed. In the case where it is determined that the untwisting step is not necessary, the untwisting step is not performed. Accordingly, the piecing time can be shortened because the untwisting step is not performed.

  • a plurality of yarns that are to be pieced into each other are arranged on one side of the central axis.
  • yarns that are to be pieced into each other and that are arranged in a spirally rotating flow are angularly displaced about the central axis in a state where the front end portions of the yarns are extended to one side in the axial direction, and thus, the yarns can be effectively untwisted.
  • each of the plurality of yarns that are to be pieced into each other is untwisted by injecting a compressed fluid from the first untwisting-nozzle hole.
  • each of the plurality of yarns that are to be pieced into each other is Z-twisted
  • each of the plurality of yarns that are to be pieced into each other is untwisted by injecting a compressed fluid from the second untwisting-nozzle hole.
  • the first injecting portion is used to inject a compressed fluid from the untwisting-nozzle hole, thereby untwisting each of a plurality of yarns that are to be pieced into each other.
  • the second injecting portion is used to inject a compressed fluid from the piecihg-nozzle hole, thereby intertwining the plurality of yarns that are to be pieced into each other.
  • the yarns are complexly intertwined into each other. Accordingly, the strength of a pieced portion in a yarn obtained by piecing can be improved.
  • a plurality of two-ply yarns are accommodated in the yarn-accommodating space in the yarn-accommodating step, and each of the plurality of two-ply yarns is untwisted in the untwisting step.
  • the two-ply yarns are intertwined into each other in the piecing step. Accordingly, the yarns are complexly intertwined into each other, and the strength of a pieced portion can be improved.
  • whether or not the untwisting step is necessary for untwisting two-ply yarns is selectively switched according to at least one of a type of yarn-twisting and a number of a plurality of yarns that are to be pieced into each other. Accordingly, in the case where the strength of a pieced portion can be secured even without performing the untwisting step, such as a case in which two two-ply yarns are to be pieced into each other or two single yarns are to be pieced into each other, the untwisting step does not have to be performed, and thus, the convenience can be improved.
  • the yarns when the direction for injecting a compressed fluid is switched so that the compressed fluid rotates in the opposite direction of a direction in which two-ply yarns are twisted, the yarns can be untwisted regardless of whether the two-ply yarns are S-twisted or Z-twisted, and thus, the versatility can be improved.
