Definitions

  • the invention relates to a yarn brake for a double twisting spindle according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Thread brakes for double twisting spindles have long been known in various embodiments and described in detail in numerous patents in part.
  • Such thread brakes are used in particular in double-twisting processes and ensure that the thread receives a certain bias during the twisting process.
  • a double-twisting spindle with a thread brake is known, which is designed as a brake cartridge.
  • yarn brakes are based on two telescopically sliding, apart by a spring element cylinder with their spherical ends on braking surfaces, which are arranged in the region of a thread inlet opening or a Fadenauslassö réelle a brake housing and thereby clamp the continuous thread.
  • a disadvantage of such brake cartridges is that the bias of the yarn during the twisting process is determined only by the spring force of the spring element of the brake cartridge, and, at least during the twisting process, can not be corrected. Furthermore, for example by the DE 33 36 715 C2 or the US 7,000,865 B1 Braking devices for double twisting spindles known, each having a ball which rests in a brake housing on a braking surface.
  • the braking force acting on the continuous thread is dependent on the weight of the ball, that is, the bias of the thread can be adjusted to a certain extent on the diameter of the ball.
  • the DE 197 55 825 A1 describes a double twisting spindle for twisting natural silk, the yarn brake has a total of seven successively arranged Bremskugel sensibleen.
  • Such braking devices not only require a relatively large installation space, but are also with respect to the threading of a new thread extremely disadvantageous.
  • the pretension of the spring element and thus the contact pressure of the brake ball can be set defined on the braking surfaces.
  • the brake ball can be lifted pneumatically, which greatly facilitates the threading of a new thread in the yarn brake.
  • a disadvantage of this type of yarn brake is that the spring-loaded piston, which has the upper braking surface slides almost without play in an axial guidance of the yarn brake housing.
  • the upper braking surface can not escape laterally, which leads to Fadenanom procheen, such as knots, thick spots, dust particles, etc. lead to strong thread tension increases up to thread breakages.
  • the present invention seeks to develop a yarn brake for a double twisting spindle, which is designed so that they avoid thread tension increases that could lead to a yarn breakage, as far as possible.
  • the inventive construction of the thread brake wherein the upper brake surface receiving upper piston is formed and guided with play within a housing of the thread brake that he can dodge if necessary in a position in which its central longitudinal axis with the central longitudinal axis of the housing an angle has the advantage that the upper piston automatically responds to thread abnormalities.
  • the angle which is set at the occurrence of Fadenanom procheen between the central longitudinal axis of the upper piston and the central longitudinal axis of the housing of the yarn brake, up to 10 °.
  • Such a relatively small tilt angle minimizes the constructive effort in the area of the thread brake, but nevertheless ensures that the occurrence of high thread tensions when overflowing the upper braking surface is prevented by, for example, knots, thick spots or dust buffs.
  • the escape of the upper piston is made possible in the event of yarn abnormalities in that the upper piston is provided with guide lugs, which allow a certain lateral displacement of the piston.
  • the upper piston has, for example, a disc-shaped lower guide lug whose diameter is below the inner diameter of the housing in the working area of the guide lug (Anspr.3).
  • the upper piston has a preferably circular upper guide surface whose inner diameter is above the outer diameter of the hollow axis of the double-wire spindle (Anspr.4).
  • At least the disc-shaped lower guide lug in an advantageous embodiment, a convex curved, circumferential guide surface.
  • a convexly curved guide surface on the one hand favors the tiltability of the piston and on the other hand reliably prevents the piston from becoming jammed in the housing.
  • a convex curved, circumferential guide surface has a positive effect on the function of the thread brake if necessary.
  • the upper piston is acted upon by two spring elements arranged one behind the other, each having different spring characteristics and their bias, as defined in claim 7, defined adjustable via a rotatably mounted abutment device.
  • the abutment device has wendelartig arranged detent positions, which are easily ingested by appropriate rotation of the abutment device in the housing of the yarn brake.
  • the lower braking surface to which the braking element is pressed integrated in a lower piston, which is acted upon by a spring element, positioned in a working position and pneumatically for threading a new thread is lowered into a threading position.
  • Such a design facilitates the threading of a new thread, especially in combination with one of the devices described in claims 9 - 11 and 12, respectively.
  • a limited axially movable support element is arranged in the region of the brake element. This support element is positioned during the twisting operation by the lower piston in a rest position and slides when lowering the lower piston in its threading position in an intermediate position.
  • the support member also has, as set forth in claim 10, for guiding the braking element on an inclined plane.
  • the off-center position is defined by a receiving pocket, which, as set forth in claim 11, is embedded in the lower piston.
  • the braking member has when threading a new thread with neither the upper braking surface, still with the lower braking surface contact, but is, spaced from the braking surfaces and outside the threadline of new threads, in a receiving pocket of the lower piston.
  • a support element to be installed on the housing in the region of the brake element. On this stationary support element sets when lowering the lower piston in its threading the brake element.
  • the support element is designed so that even with the brake element resting between the support element and brake element sufficient space is available, so that it is ensured even in this embodiment that new threads can be easily threaded.
  • both the braking element formed as a brake ball, and the braking surfaces are made of a material that is very resistant to abrasion.
  • the brake ball and / or the braking surfaces may, for example, as set forth in claim 13, made of hardened steel, which is a relatively inexpensive construction, or the brake ball and / or the braking surfaces, as described in claim 14, from an oxide ceramic Be made of material.
  • Such oxide-ceramic materials are known to have a high hardness and are correspondingly very wear-resistant.
  • the Fig.1 shows schematically, partially in section, a total designated by the reference numeral 1 double twisting spindle. With such a double-twisting spindle 1, one or more threads are given rotation.
  • This rotation pitch serves to increase the quality of the thread (s), for example, in terms of tear strength and so that the better processability in subsequent processes, such as weaving, knitting, tufting and the like.
  • the threads 3 and 4 are twisted by a rotatably mounted spindle part 6, which is disposed below the protective pot 9, L-shaped deflected and get, preferably on a functioning as a balloon restrictor sheath 7, in balloon form upward sliding, to a stationary balloon yarn guide 8, to then be wound on a winding device 10, as now verzwirnter thread 15 to a coil 11.
  • the spindle part 6 in the exemplary embodiment at the end a whorl 12, which is acted upon by a tangential belt 13 frictionally in the sense of rotation.
  • a thread brake 14 according to the invention is also installed in the region of the hollow shaft 5 of the double-twisting spindle 1, which pre-brakes the continuous threads 3, 4.
  • Such preliminary braking is necessary in order to be able to form a thread reserve in the region of a storage part of the spindle part 6, which is necessary for a trouble-free twisting process.
  • FIGS. 2A and 2 B show a first advantageous embodiment of the yarn brake 14 according to the invention in a larger scale and in detail.
  • the Fig. 2A shows the yarn brake 14 with a positioned in working position A braking element 29, while the Fig. 2B the yarn brake 14 in threading position E shows.
  • the thread brake 14 has a tubular housing 16, which is provided both on its upper side, as well as on its underside each with a (unspecified) screw internal thread.
  • a cover 17 which on the one hand forms a guide for the hollow axle 5 and, on the other hand, an abutment for a first spring element 18 arranged inside the cover 17, is fastened in the housing 16 via the upper screw internal thread.
  • This first spring element 18 acts on a pot-shaped trained, guided on the inner wall of the housing 16 abutment element 19 of the hollow shaft 5, which in turn is equipped with a plurality of helically arranged locking positions 20.
  • one of the helically arranged locking positions 20 can be positioned on the stationary cam 21 by appropriate rotation of the hollow shaft 5 and thus the axial position of the abutment element 19 in the housing 16 can be adjusted.
  • the braking force of the yarn brake 14 can be set defined.
  • a spring element 23 is arranged, which corresponds to a sleeve 22, which in turn is guided on the inner wall of the abutment member 19.
  • the spring element 24 is also turned on.
  • the upper piston 27 is mounted via guide lugs 25, 26 within the housing 16 of the thread brake 14, wherein the upper piston 27 is equipped both with a lower guide lug 25 whose outer diameter d, as in 3A shown under the
  • Inner diameter D of the housing 16 in the working range of the piston 27 is located, as well as an upper guide lug 26 has, whose inner diameter d 1 is greater than the outer diameter D 1 of the hollow shaft. 5
  • the upper piston 27 is supported both in the region of the upper, as well as in the region of the lower guide lug with game S.
  • a ring-like insert made of a wear-resistant material, for example hardened steel or an oxide-ceramic material, is fixed on the upper piston 27 and forms an upper braking surface 28 in conjunction with a brake element 29, preferably a brake ball.
  • the brake ball 29, which is preferably also made of a wear-resistant material, is, acted upon by the spring force of the spring elements 23, 24 described above, also on a lower braking surface 30.
  • the lower braking surface 30 is preferably designed as a ring-like insert and made of hardened steel or an oxide-ceramic material.
  • the lower braking surface 30 is arranged in a lower piston 31, which is positioned during the twisting process by a fourth spring element 33 in its working position A and has a lower hollow shaft 32.
  • the lower piston 31 positioning spring element 33 is supported on an intermediate insert 34 which is fixed in the lower screw internal thread of the housing 16, and in turn receives a cover member 35 in which a selectively controllable pneumatic cylinder 36 is mounted.
  • the Fig. 3B shows the yarn brake 14 according to the invention during the "normal" twisting process.
  • the introduced into the hollow shaft 5 of the double-twisting spindle 1 threads 3, 4 are acted on the one hand in the region of the upper braking surface 28 and on the other hand in the region of the lower braking surface 29 by the brake ball 29 with a predetermined braking force and thus provided with a necessary for the twisting process bias.
  • the threads twisted into a thread 15 leave the thread brake 14 through the lower hollow axle 32 of the lower piston 31.
  • the upper piston 27 supported by play S in the housing 16 is slightly tilted by the threads 3, 4 running over the upper braking surface 28.
