  • the second catching and guiding device 28 is swung upward to catch a yarn end of the second yarn (see a chain line in FIG. 1 ). After catching the second yarn, the second catching and guiding device 28 is swung downward to guide the second yarn to the yarn joining device 23.
  • the yarn joining device 23 is driven while the first yarn and the second yarn are being guided to the yarn joining device 23, so that the first yarn and the second yarn are joined and the spun yarn 10 is connected between the pneumatic spinning device 9 and the package 50.

  • the winding section 26 includes a cradle arm 52 and a winding drum 53.
  • a yarn path from the yarn accumulating device 22 to the winding section 26 is bent and guided by a downstream guide 63.
  • the cradle arm 52 can rotatably support a winding tube 51 for winding the spun yarn 10.
  • the cradle arm 52 is swingable with a basal end portion thereof as the center of swing. Thus, even if the spun yarn 10 is wound around the winding tube 51 and a diameter of the package 50 is increased, the winding of the spun yarn 10 can be appropriately continued.
  • the winding drum 53 rotates while making contact with an outer peripheral surface of the winding tube 51 or an outer peripheral surface of the package 50.
  • a traverse groove (not illustrated) is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the winding drum 53, and the spun yarn 10 is traversed by the traverse groove at a predetermined width. Accordingly, the winding section 26 can wind the spun yarn 10 around the winding tube 51 while traversing the spun yarn 10 to form the package 50.
  • FIGS. 4 to 6 the next process is illustrated to be carried out after one process is completed to facilitate the understanding of the drawings, but the next process may be started before one process is completed. Note that a similar process is carried out also in a case of starting the spinning to start the winding of the spun yarn 10 around a new winding tube 51 without carrying out the yarn joining operation.
  • the spun yarn 10 becomes disconnected after yarn breakage occurs during the winding of the package 50, or after the spun yarn 10 is cut by the cutter 24.

  • the draft device 7 stops the drafting of the fiber bundle 8
  • the pneumatic spinning device 9 stops the spinning.
  • the first guide 61 moves to a position away from the yarn accumulating device 22.
  • the second catching and guiding device 28 is swung upward to catch the second yarn. Thereafter, the second catching and guiding device 28 is swung downward while keeping the caught second yarn to guide the second yarn to a position where the yarn joining operation can be carried out by the yarn joining device 23.
  • the first catching and guiding device 27 is swung downward to move to a position where the first yarn can be caught.
  • the drafting of the fiber bundle 8 by the draft device 7 is then resumed and the yarn discharge spinning by the pneumatic spinning device 9 is carried out.
  • the first yarn is sucked and caught by the first catching and guiding device 27.
  • the first catching and guiding device 27 is swung upward while continuing sucking of the first yarn to guide the first yarn to a position where the yarn joining operation can be carried out by the yarn joining device 23.
  • the first yarn and the second yarn are thereby guided to the yarn joining device 23, as illustrated in FIG. 5 .
  • the pneumatic spinning device 9 of the present embodiment continues to inject the airflow from the second nozzle 36 until the spun yarn 10 is wound by the yarn accumulating device 22 (detailed control will be described later).
  • the first guide 61 moves to approach the yarn accumulating device 22 (see FIG. 6 ).
  • the first guide 61 thus guides the spun yarn 10 to proximity of the yarn accumulating device 22 while catching the spun yarn 10.
  • the spun yarn 10 thus can be hooked to the yarn hooking member 43 of the yarn accumulating device 22. Therefore, the spun yarn 10 can be started to be wound around the yarn accumulating roller 41. After the spun yarn 10 is wound around the yarn accumulating roller 41, the pneumatic spinning device 9 stops the injection of the air from the second nozzle 36. Thereafter, when the yarn joining operation is completed, the stopped winding drum 53 and the like are again driven. The winding of the package 50 thus can be resumed.
  • a spinning condition in which the yarn breakage and the clogging of the fibers in the pneumatic spinning device 9 are less likely to occur is set for the yarn discharge spinning, and the pneumatic spinning device 9 carries out the yarn discharge spinning under such a spinning condition.
  • the unit controller determines whether or not the spun yarn 10 is wound in the yarn accumulating device 22 (yarn accumulating roller 41) (step S102). This determination is made, for example, based on a timing at which a process of causing the first guide 61 to approach the yarn accumulating device 22 is carried out or a timing at which the yarn amount detecting sensor 44 detected the spun yarn 10 greater than or equal to the predetermined amount.
  • the unit controller determines that the spun yarn 10 is wound around the yarn accumulating roller 41.
  • the spun yarn 10 may be assumed as being wound around the yarn accumulating roller 41 when a predetermined time or more has elapsed from the start of the yarn discharge spinning.
  • the unit controller stops the injection of the air from the second nozzle 36 and starts the normal spinning (step S103, time T2 of FIG. 8 ).
  • time T1 of FIG. 8 when the spun yarn 10 starts to be wound around the yarn accumulating roller 41, the air is still injected from the second nozzle 36.
  • the spun yarn 10 is wound (mechanically pulled) around the yarn accumulating roller 41, the spun yarn 10 is stably pulled out from the pneumatic spinning device 9, and hence the injection of the air from the second nozzle 36 may be stopped.
  • the unit controller then changes the spinning condition (at least one of spinning speed, draft ratio, and yarn count) after the termination of the yarn discharge spinning in accordance with the requested package 50 (step S104, time T2 of FIG. 8 ). If the spinning condition is not required to be changed for the yarn discharge spinning and for the normal spinning, the normal spinning is continued under the condition for the yarn discharge spinning. While the yarn discharge spinning is being carried out, the spinning condition is not changed. The above condition is fixed until the spun yarn 10 is wound around the yarn accumulating roller 41, and thus the yarn breakage, the clogging of the fibers, or the like can be prevented.
  • the delivery roller is arranged immediately downstream of the pneumatic spinning device in Patent Documents 1 and 2. Therefore, the spun yarn is pulled out from the pneumatic spinning device by the delivery roller immediately after the yarn discharge spinning is started. In other words, the spun yarn is mechanically pulled out even during the yarn discharge spinning. Thus, the clogging of the fibers in the pneumatic spinning device, and the like are less likely to occur even if the spinning condition is changed in a middle of the yarn discharge spinning.
  • the spinning machine of the present embodiment is a delivery roller-less spinning machine, and thus the spun yarn 10 pulled out from the pneumatic spinning device 9 is not mechanically pulled out at first and is merely sucked and caught by the first catching and guiding device 27. Therefore, the clogging of the fibers in the pneumatic spinning device 9 may occur by merely changing the spinning condition during the yarn discharge spinning, for example. Properties of the spun yarn to be handled during the yarn discharge spinning thus differ between Patent Documents 1 and 2, and the present application.
  • the spinning machine of the present embodiment includes the pneumatic spinning device 9 and the yarn accumulating device 22.
  • the pneumatic spinning device 9 includes the nozzle block 30 and the hollow guide shaft body 34, the nozzle block 30 including the first nozzle 33 through which air passes to be injected to generate whirling airflow in the spinning chamber 32, and the hollow guide shaft body 34 being arranged downstream in a fiber travelling direction than the nozzle block 30 and including the second nozzle 36 through which air passes to be injected to generate whirling airflow for sucking a fiber bundle 8 from the spinning chamber 32.
  • the yarn accumulating device 22 accumulates the spun yarn 10 produced by the pneumatic spinning device 9 while pulling out the spun yarn 10.
  • the air is injected from the first nozzle 33 and the second nozzle 36 at least at an instance when the spun yarn 10 starts being wound around the yarn accumulating roller 41 in the yarn discharge spinning.
  • the first catching and guiding device 27 may not have the twist applying function.
  • the injection of the air from the second nozzle 36 is stopped while maintaining the injection of the air from the first nozzle 33.
  • the spun yarn 10 After the spun yarn 10 is wound around the yarn accumulating roller 41, the spun yarn 10 is stably pulled out by the yarn accumulating roller 41, and thus, the injection of the air from the second nozzle 36 is not necessary. Thus, a structure excellent in energy saving property can be realized by stopping the injection of the air from the second nozzle 36.
  • a condition of at least one of a spinning speed, a draft ratio, and a yarn count is fixed.
  • the amount of fiber bundle 8 to be processed by the pneumatic spinning device 9 changes.
  • the yarn breakage or the clogging of the fibers in the pneumatic spinning device 9 may occur.
