Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention is a spinning bobbin in which the bobbin yarn wound by a spinning machine, that is, the spinning bobbin, is subjected to heat treatment, that is, steam set, while being transported to the winding machine. The present invention relates to heat treatment equipment.

[Prior art]

It is necessary to wind the spun yarn spun from raw cotton, raw wool, sliver of synthetic fibers, etc. onto a bobbin, and wind this bobbin yarn, that is, the spun bobbin as a unit, onto corn cheese or parallel cheese using a winding machine. However, in this process, it is necessary to join the spun yarns when a new spinning bobbin is supplied to the winding machine. However, if the spun yarn is not heat-treated, that is, steam set, at this point, the tip of the spun yarn drawn out by the airflow will not be aligned in the direction of the airflow due to the twisting torque during spinning, and the spinning yarn will not be aligned with the direction of the airflow. There is a problem in that the threads cannot be joined automatically.

Therefore, steam setting is performed before the spun bobbin is fed to the winding machine.

Conventionally, the above-mentioned spinning bobbins were randomly placed into a predetermined box called a yarn box, and then assembled into dozens of boxes, which were then placed in a processing kettle and steamed all at once. It is set. In this simultaneous steam setting method, the spinning bobbins produced in each spinning machine are assembled into a yarn box, transported to a processing pot, where steam setting is performed, and the spinning bobbins are taken out from the processing pot. We use a method in which they are transported to the hoisting machine and attached to the shaft of the hoisting machine one by one.

In this spinning bobbin processing process,
Each process, such as removing the spinning bobbin from the spinning machine or attaching the spinning bobbin to the winding machine, is automated. However, even in these processes, a transportation route is required in which a certain amount of spinning bobbins must be transported in bulk to a processing kettle, set in steam, and transported to a winding machine for winding. .

In other words, in the conventional spinning bobbin heat treatment method, the steam setting process is independent. At least five devices are required: spinning frame→transport device→steam setting device→transport device→winding machine.

From the configuration of the device, there is a preparatory step of packing a certain amount of bobbins into a yarn box for supplying the spinning bobbins to the steam setting device, supplying the yarn box to the steam setting device, spinning bobbins that have completed steam processing, That is, a series of steps such as unloading the yarn box are required, which complicates the steps and hinders the continuous processing of spinning bobbins. The biggest problem causing this failure is that the steam setting process is an independent process.

On the other hand, among the various conventional heat treatment methods for spinning bobbins, the required processing time for vacuum heat treatment depends on the type of yarn wound on the spinning bobbin, such as wool, a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers, etc. As a result, the processing temperature and time required for processing will change somewhat, but in any case, if the number of spinning bobbins processed within a unit time increases,
With conventional continuous heat treatment equipment, considering the restriction that it must be installed between the spinning machine and the winding machine, the heat treatment equipment occupies a large area, resulting in the problem of being unable to process. It's coming.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was made in order to solve the problem that in the conventional heat treatment process of spinning bobbins, the steam setting process is independent and continuous processing is obstructed in that process. To provide a processing device for spinning bobbins that can continuously steam-set a plurality of spinning bobbins one by one in a conveyor line for transporting the spinning bobbins and carry them out to a winding machine or an appropriate place, and does not take up much space for setting them. The purpose is to

[Structure of the idea]

In order to achieve the above object, the spinning bobbin heat treatment apparatus of the present invention is designed to heat-treat spinning bobbins in a conveyor line that conveys the spinning bobbins through the spinning process using a spinning machine to the winding process using a winding machine. Two spinning bobbins capable of alternately loading and unloading a plurality of spinning bobbins corresponding to a transport speed of It is constructed by providing two processing tanks in parallel.

In the above heat treatment equipment, the two processing tanks installed in parallel are arranged so as to move one pitch at a time perpendicular to their longitudinal direction, and when the two processing tanks in parallel move to the right end, the processing tank on the right A heat treatment cover that can be vacuum-sealed is provided above and above the processing tank on the left when moving to the left end, and the cover is lowered onto each processing tank using a vertical mechanism such as an air cylinder. While descending onto the treatment tank and sealing that treatment tank, heat treatment is performed using the prescribed steam set, while the other treatment tank is left open because the position of the cover and the treatment tank do not match. During this time, the processed spinning bobbins were discharged to the winding machine, and when the discharge was completed, the unprocessed spinning bobbins were brought in from the spinning machine in time for the next processing. This makes it possible to heat-treat a relatively large number of bobbins efficiently and continuously even within a limited narrow space.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The spinning bobbin heat treatment device of this embodiment is a continuous process between the spinning process using a conventional spinning machine and the winding process using a winding machine. It was installed to interrupt the conveyor line for transporting spinning bobbins, which is connected to the conveyor line.

First, FIG. 1 is a plan view of the heat treatment apparatus of this embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a front sectional view taken along the line A-A in FIG. 2 is a conveyor line belt for conveying the spinning bobbin 5, and 2 is a conveyor line belt for conveying the spinning bobbin 5 to the winding process after the heat treatment is completed.

Next, 3 and 4 are processing tanks for receiving the unprocessed spinning bobbins 5 sent from the belt 1 and subjecting them to heat treatment.
1 shows a state in which the spinning bobbin 5 has been received, and the processing tank 4 is in a state where the spinning bobbin 5 is fixed at the position where the cover 9 lowered by the cylinder 7 is placed over the processing tank 4. This shows a state in which the heat treatment is being performed in a vacuum-sealed state.

Further, the covers 8 and 9 are movable up and down by cylinders 6 and 7, and as shown in FIG.
It is located one pitch away from.

The reason for this is that the belt 1 of the conveyor line for conveying the spinning bobbins 5 is always in a fixed position as shown in Figure 1, so when trying to feed the spinning bobbins 5 to the processing tank 3 or 4, the belt 1 The spinning bobbin 5 cannot be fed unless the center of the processing tank 3 or 4 is placed on the center line of the processing tank 1.

Therefore, since it is necessary for the processing tanks 3 and 4 to each receive the spinning bobbin 5 from the belt 1 at the position shown in FIG. 2, they are connected to each other so that the pitch is half the pitch of the cylinders 6 and 7. cylinder 10
The structure is such that the center line of the processing tank 4 is moved to match the center line of the cylinder 7, or the center line of the processing tank 3 is always moved to match the center line of the cylinder 6.

That is, the spinning speed of this spinning bobbin 5,
That is, two processing tanks 3 and 4, into which a plurality of spinning bobbins 5 corresponding to the conveying speed can be carried in and out alternately, are arranged in parallel so that they can be moved one pitch at a time by a cylinder 10. Covers 8 and 9, which are capable of alternately heat-treating a plurality of spinning bobbins 5, are removably attached to these treatment tanks 3 and 4 by means of an up-and-down mechanism for cylinders 6 and 7.

Further, the transport of the spinning bobbins 5 from the belt 1 to the processing tanks 3 and 4 and the transport of the spinning bobbins 5 from the processing tanks 3 and 4 to the belt 2 are carried out by a transfer conveyor 11 that can be switched by swinging left and right. In addition, each processing tank 3, 4 is provided with belts 15, 16, respectively, which are driven by a drive motor 14 to carry the spinning bobbin 9 into and out of the processing tank 3, 4. Stoppers 12 and 13 are provided on the exit sides of the belts 15 and 16, and a stopper 17 is provided on the exit side of the belt 1, respectively.

Next, a series of operations from the beginning in the heat treatment apparatus having the above structure will be explained.

First, to explain the state in which the spinning bobbin 5 is placed in the processing tank 4 at the same position as shown in FIG. 2 and is undergoing heat treatment, in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to receive the spinning bobbin 5.

Therefore, the spinning bobbins 5 conveyed from the belt 1 are fed into the processing tank 3 via the transfer conveyor 11, and the fed spinning bobbins 5 are sequentially transferred to the processing tank 3 by the belt 15 driven by the drive motor 14. The stopper 12 senses when one side is full.

Then, the transfer conveyor 11 is switched to the opposite side, that is, to the right side in FIG.

Next, when the stopper 12 detects that both belts are full, the stopper 17 of the belt 1 on the entrance side is activated.
The supply is temporarily stopped, the processing tank 4 is vacuum-sealed, and the cover 9, which has been subjected to heat treatment, that is, steam set, is pulled upward by the cylinder 7, and then the center line of the processing tank 4 is moved to the conveyor line by the cylinder 10. is moved to a position that coincides with the center line of belt 1,
The drive motor 14 is driven, the belt 16 moves, and the plurality of spinning bobbins 5 are sent across the conveyor 11 toward the belt 2 on the take-out side.

On the other hand, since the processing tank 3 moved by the cylinder 10 is on the center line of the cylinder 6 and the cover 8, the cylinder 6 lowers the cover 8, seals the processing tank 3, and starts the heat treatment by steam setting. enter.

Meanwhile, in the processing tank 4, the processed spinning bobbin 5
is completely discharged, and the stopper 13 indicates that it has been discharged.
If the stopper 17 of the belt 1 is sensed, the unprocessed spinning bobbin 5 is sent into the processing tank 4. If the stopper 13 senses that the spinning bobbin 5 is full, then the cylinder 10 is reversely operated to send the unprocessed spinning bobbin 5 to the processing tank 4. The tank 4 enters the heat treatment process, the treatment tank 3 moves to the discharge process, and this series of operations is repeated to perform continuous heat treatment.

In the heat treatment using the steam set described above, a series of steps such as vacuuming, steam injection, standing, and vacuum breaking are automatically performed.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the spinning bobbin heat treatment apparatus of the present invention is capable of processing two spinning bobbins in parallel while each spinning bobbin produced in the spinning process is transported to the winding process. By placing the spinning bobbins alternately in treatment tanks arranged in the same direction and performing prescribed heat treatment alternately, the spinning bobbins are continuously heat treated, that is, steam set, while being conveyed from the spinning machine side to the winding machine side. Since the process is completed, heat treatment can be carried out unattended and continuously, which eliminates the need for the conventionally required tube boxes, transport carts, etc., and also eliminates the need to install a steam treatment room in a separate location. Therefore, the degree of freedom in factory layout increases.

In particular, in the continuous heat treatment apparatus of the present invention, two treatment tanks are arranged in parallel along the conveyor line, so it does not take up much space and can process many spinning bobbins continuously within a unit time. There are many advantages in that heat treatment can be carried out in accordance with reality.
