Definitions

  • the invention relates to control devices for the programmed regulation of hydraulic fluid-operated traverse mechanisms of spooling, spinning and especially ring twist machines, which devices serve the purpose of modifying the flowing amount of the hydraulic fluid and thereby the traverse speed in dependence on driven cam control elements according to a predetermined program.
  • Hydraulic traverse gears in which the traverse motion is accelerated or retarded according to a certain program in each stroke are used in various types of spooling, spinning and ring twist machines. There it is usual practice to achieve such stroke accelerations or retardations by modification of the amount of flowing fluid of the hydraulic drive, which in turn determines the traverse speed. As is well known, the modification of the amount of the flowing, hydraulic pressure fluid is possible in various ways, as, for example, by controlled modification of the amount of hydraulic fluid pumped per second or by use of so- L called fluid quantity regulators or chokes.
  • the pump of the hydraulic drive is controlled by a template which is rigidly attached to the working piston rod generating the main stroke.
  • the entire drive aggregate for the (3 main stroke, consisting of pump, fluid container, line system and the main cylinder of the working piston for the main stroke, together with corresponding control devices, is raised or lowered by the whole length of the winding body during its build-up by a separate drive.
  • Another hydraulic traverse device has a continuously adjustable quantity regulator mounted in fixed position between pump and control valve for the working cylinder, which regulator controls the amount of pressure fluid introduced on both sides of the working piston in the time unit for the purpose of modifying the traverse stroke speed.
  • the control of the continuously adjustable quantity regulator is accomplished over a guide plate of the cam type, a kind of template which is connected rigidly with the piston rod of the working piston.
  • the invention has as its basis the avoidance of the above-enumerated drawbacks of the known system and the discovery of control devices with the aid of which all the desired variations of the usual traverse systems can be executed, especially those with stroke displacement and with equal velocity characteristics recurring in each stroke.
  • control element or elements executed in curve or cam form be mounted so as to be rotatable or slidable with respect to their indirect or direct drive element and be provided with stop surfaces or members which cooperate adjustably with a stationary stop in each case for the purpose of limiting the effective curve path of the control element.
  • the curve-type control element can be connected with the drive element via a disengageable coupling which is disengaged at the end of each base stroke and thereby at the beginning of the substroke distance belonging to each base stroke.
  • the control element itself can be equipped with such a coupling device, which may consist, for example, of a magnetic coupling or a spring-biased clutch for the drive element.
  • the curve-type control element As in the known executions, is driven indirectly or directly through the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder, as hitherto usual, it participates in each case in its reciprocating traverse movement in the main stroke, in which it undergoes either a longitudinal movement or a corresponding rotary movement. Since it is, however, according to the invention, mounted rotatably or slidably with respect to its drive element, it can be held back upon disengagement of the coupling device for the stroke displacement span of the total stroke movement of the working piston going beyond the base stroke whereby it constantly retains its set position with the prescribed control range with respect to the curve and the stationary setting member of the quantity regulator feeling out this curve, despite progressive excursion of its drive element with increasing development of the substroke.
  • the control element be executed as a cam plate which is connected with its drive element by means of a slip coupling.
  • the torque or the frictional force to be transmitted by the 3 slip coupling can be adjustable by having the slip coupling constructed or made adjustable or settable by dimensioning or varying of the spring force engaging at the drive element in such a way that the torque or other frictional drive force to be transmitted by it is, on the one hand, just great enough to exercise in the main stroke the shifting forces necessary for the operation of the quantity regulating apparatus or of its setting member, but, on the other hand, is low enough so that in the strikingof the cooperating limiting stops in the substroke the frictional drive force of the coupling is overcome.
  • either the cam plate on the slip coupling or the cam plate together with the slip coupling on the drive shaft can be provided in interchangeable or commutable or shiftable form.
  • the cooperating limiting stops on the cam plate or on the machine frame can be provided in interchangeable or commutable or shiftable form.
  • control devices of this invention have, over the known arrangements, especially the advantage that they operate completely reliably and in the case of traverse problems with periodically outgoing and/ or incoming substroke or in the case of stroke enlargement and/ or stroke reduction during the whole-winding process, they assure exactly the same speed characteristics for each individual Even in the case of very long winding processes.

  • the hydraulically driven traverse mechanism consist-s essentially of the ring bench 1 suspended on cables 2.
  • the cables run over deflection rollers 3 and are attached at their other end to the piston rod 4 of the working piston 6 in the hydraulic cylinder 5.:
  • the switching feeler ,7 On the piston rod 4 there is mounted the switching feeler ,7, which actuates the stroke limiting switches or end switches 8,9 and 10 for the traverse movements, which, in turn, are shifted on the guide rod 12 by conveyor members (not represented) of the mechanically, hydraulically or electrically controlled program control system 11.
  • the usual hydraulic control elements necessary for the control of the operating piston 6, for example, the reversing slider and the pressure setting valve (not shown in detail) are accommodated in the common casing 13.
  • the hydraulic fluid is conveyed by the pump 14'from'the supply tank 15 into the hydraulic drive system and flows over the return line 16 back into the supply tank.
  • the lines 18 and 18', 20 and 20 connect the quantity regulators 21 and 22 and the lines 17 and 19 the hydraulic cylinder 5 with the other hydraulic control elementsin the casing 13.
  • a toothed rack '24 On the piston rod 4 of the working piston 6 there is rigidly secured by means of the holding arm 23 a toothed rack '24.
  • the shaft 25 is journalled rotatably in the bearings 27 and 28 and carries on its free end the slip couplings 29 and 30 on which the-re are attached as cam-type control elements the cam plates 31 and 32.
  • the rolls 35 and 36 of the adjusting slides 33 and 34 of the quantity regulators 21 and 22 are pressed by springs (not shown) against the surfacesof 1 Resulting from1the accumulation .of min-onfaults.
  • the removable stop clamps 37 and 38 secured on the cam plate 31 are illustrated with the stop clamp 37 shown in position against the fixed stop pin 39.
  • the stop clamp 38 especially on reversal of the sub-stroke direction, can cooperate correspondingly with the fixed stop pin 39'.
  • the stop clamps both on the cam plate 31 and also on the cam plate 32 are omitted for the sake of perspicuity, and only the stationary stop pin pairs 39 and 39' and 40 and 40', respectively, are represented.
  • the control element the annular cam plate 31, is attached by means of screws 41 on a central and coaxial friction disk 42 which, via a pressure washer 43, is pressed by coil spring 44 against the collar 45 of a shaft sleeve 46, on the other end of which there is screwed the spring sleeve 47 serving as counterbearing for the spring 44.
  • a nut 48 secures the spring sleeve 47 on the shaft sleeve 46, which, in turn, is held by the nut 49 on the shaft 25.
  • The. friction disk 42 of the cam plate 31 under urging of a certain force, the level of which is dependent on the pressure applied by the spring 44, can turn with respect to the shaft sleeve 46.
  • the .pressure washer 43 is secured with respect to the shaft sleeve 46 and this, in turn, with respect to the shaft 25 against twisting,
  • the conveyor pump 14 sucks the pressure fluid from the supply tank and presses it into the hydraulic drive system. If the working piston 6 is to move to the left, the pressure fluid is conducted from the hydraulic control elements arranged in the casing 13, with by-passing of the line leading to the quantity regulator 21, directly over line 19 into the righthand side of the hydraulic cylinder 5.
  • the pressure fluid emerging from the left-hand side of the hydraulic cylinder 5 flows over lines 17 and 18 through the quantity regulator 22, the line 18' and over the control elements in the casing 13 through the return flow 16 back into the supply tank 15.
  • the working piston 6, moving to the left drives the piston rod 4 and the cables 2 running over the deflection rollers 3, and raises the ring rail 1.
  • the stroke speed is determined by the amountof pressure fluid flowing through the quantity regulator 22 or 21 in the time unit, which amount, in turn, is continuously regulated by the adjusting slides 34 and 33, respectively, controlled by the cam plates 32 and 31, respectively.
  • This amount of pressure fluid flowing through the quantity regulator 22 or 21 can be infinitely varied between a minimal and a maximal amount.
  • the flow amount is smallest, and can, if need be, even amount to zero.
  • the flowthrough amount is greatest when the adjusting slide 33 or 34 projects farthest from its respective quantity regulating casing.
  • the engagement stretch of the toothed rack (that is, the stretch on the toothed rack whose teeth engage with the teeth of gear wheel 26 during a stroke) moves, however, slowly to the right and the engagement arc of the gear wheel is shifted correspondingly on its circumference, because the backward stroke, due to the progressive stroke displacement, is somewhat smaller than the forward stroke. If the stroke displacement takes place not continuously, but stepwise, then the difference between for- Ward and backward movement does not occur in each stroke, but only after each stroke displacement step. Since the gear wheel 26 is mounted in fixed position on the drive shaft 25, also its rotation range is shifted in the same manner.
  • the stroke displacement is accomplished for several strokes, in steps or continuously from stroke to stroke by the same amount, in which process now in each case at the end of the main stroke taking place in the same direction as the stroke displacement the stop clamps 37 or 38 strike against the stop pins 39 and 40 or 39' and 40' and arrest the cam plates 31 and 32 in their further turning movement, while the shaft 25 continues to turn with respect to the friction disc 42 and thereby also with respect to the cam plate 31 and 32, respectively, until the stroke displacement span of the total stroke movement going beyond the basic stroke is covered and the stroke reversal takes place.
  • the same cam curve portion activates the appropriate adjusting slide and thereby in the course of the entire winding formation in each stroke there prevails the same velocity characteristic.
  • the forces necessary for the adjusting of the quanitity regulator 21 or 22 are provided through the torque acting on the drive shaft 25 and must be transferred over the cam plate 31 or 32 to the appropriate shifting lever 33 or 34. -In order to be able to transmit this torque from the drive shaft 25 to the cam plate 31 or 32,. the frictional forces occurring between the collar 45, the friction disc 42 and the pressure washer 43 must be sufficiently great. On the other hand, these forces may be only so slight that the friction disc 42, upon striking of the stop clamp 37 or 38 againstthe stop pin 39 or 39' can turn by sliding with respect to the washer 43 and collar 45, both of which continue to rotate with the drive shaft 25.
  • the contact pressure acting on the elements 45, 43 and 42 is provided by the pressure spring 44. The magnitude of this force can be adapted very easily and precisely to the particular requirements by turning the nut 48 which presses on the spring sleeve 47 with the pressure spring 44 arranged in it.
  • the stop clamps 37 and 38 can easily be clamped to and unclamped from the cam plates; By resetting the stop clamps, the acting duration or acting stretch of one and the same curve can be changed on the quantity regulator and thereby, correspondingly, also the speed characteristic.
  • the two quantity regulators can also be controlled in common by one cam plate.
  • Experiments have yielded the result that an especially fine influencing of the winding body form is achieved if, for each controlled quantity regulator, there is engaged in parallel another quantity regulator, with one regulator set permanently for a constant flow-through amount.
  • Template 50 is shiftable longitudinally with respect to its drive element, e.g., thepiston rod 4, and, by means of the stops 51 and 52, which cooperate with the adjustable :stationary stops 53 and 54, can be held fast for a predetermined span of the piston substroke, in which process the template 50 is fastened, for example, to a .shaft :sleeve 55 com-posed of two semicylindrical shells.
  • the :sleeve by means of leaf springs 56, spring pressure buttons or the like, seated in corresponding recesses, presses against the piston rod 4.
  • FIG. 5 An example of a coupling fixed during the basic stroke and released before the commencement of the stroke displacement span of the sub-stroke is represented in FIG. 5.
  • the cam plate 50 is held fast by means of the electromagnetic coupling 57 on its drive element, the piston rod 4, and participates in the stroke movements of the piston rod until the coupling is released by the contact of the end switches 58 or 59 with the stops 53 or 54,.so that the piston rod then runs through alone pyer the stroke displacement span going beyond the ing lever 33 or 34 .of the Quantity re ulator 21 .or 22.1
