Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for determining the diameter of a thread balloon formed by a running thread at a workstation of a thread balloon-forming textile machine and an associated method.
  • Such production machines therefore have to determine and limit the size of these thread balloons monitoring devices that can work very differently.
  • the known monitoring devices often have sensor means by which the circulating yarn forming the yarn balloon is observed.
  • a measuring means for detecting the Fadenballon different optically operating measuring units are used, for example, a camera, one or more light barriers, or similar devices.
  • the method described is only used to sample the limit values for the balloon size, there is no information about the balloon size at any point in the process. That is, the described control is always activated when exceeding or falling below a given limit. The control is also suspended when reaching the specified values for the maximum take-off speed or the maximum yarn tension.
  • the thread balloon consists essentially of a measuring transducer, which has a series of small photoelements and a trigger device, which ensures that the thread balloon is blazed periodically.
  • the known devices are either ( DE 22 55 663 A1 ) is relatively complicated and often quite inaccurate or due to its large measuring range ( DE 101 03 892 A1 ) very sensitive to air pollution.
  • the EP 0 282 745 A1 describes a method and a device for production and quality control of the work stations of a multi-spindle textile machine, that is, a method and a device with which the presence of the threads and the thread diameter is monitored.
  • a ring spinning machine is equipped for this purpose with an optical monitoring device, which simultaneously controls a variety of in-line juxtaposed jobs of the textile machine characterized in that the rotating in the field of jobs thread balloons are illuminated.
  • the monitoring device has for this purpose a transmitter and a receiver, which are designed and arranged so that a beam emitted by a transmitter beam goes on its way to the receiver through the numerous circulating thread balloons and is intermittently interrupted or attenuated by the thread balloons.
  • the shading is converted in the receiver into an electrical signal, which is used in an associated control device as a basis for further evaluation.
  • the method described occasionally works quite inaccurately, since the beam on its way from the transmitter to the receiver is often adversely affected by fiber and dust particles, which are almost unavoidable in the atmosphere of a spinning room. In addition, a conclusion on the balloon diameter is not possible by the selected arrangements of the monitoring body.
  • the winding and winding device is arranged so that it lies during operation within a yarn balloon.
  • the workplace has a monitoring device, which may have various embodiments.
  • the monitoring device can work either indirectly or optically.

  • the detection of the size of the thread balloon can also be effected indirectly by measuring the power or the torque of the drive device of the spindle. That is, by means of a measuring device, the current is detected, which is received by the spindle drive and closed in an evaluation on the size of the thread balloon.
  • the use of at least two light barriers which have a light source for emitting a light beam and a light-sensitive detector for receiving the light beam.
  • the interruption of the light beam is detected by the passing yarn of the thread balloon during operation.
  • the known embodiment is only used for sensing the limit values for the balloon size and does not give exact information about the size of the thread balloon at any time of the winding process.
  • a CCD-type light sensor is used in conjunction with a beam-like, stroboscopic light source, for example LED or laser.
  • the image and thus the shape of the yarn balloon forming yarn is localized when illuminated by the flash.
  • CCD receivers are also relatively expensive devices because they require a complex evaluation unit for their operation.
  • the invention has the object to develop a device or a method with which / directly and reliably the diameter of a yarn balloon formed by a running yarn can be determined.
  • the device in question should also be as simple and inexpensive as possible in their construction.
  • the work has an electromagnetically operating sensor device which is designed and arranged so that it during operation of the job at each rotation of the thread balloon through the yarn balloon forming thread to at least two disturbances of a measuring beam of the sensor device comes and that the time interval of the disturbances of the measuring beam is detected and used to calculate the diameter of the thread balloon.
  • the device according to the invention has the particular advantage that at each workstation of the thread balloon-forming textile machine, the diameter of the thread bale is continuously monitored from an adjustable minimum balloon size.
  • the inventive design and arrangement of the sensor device is doing a direct, direct determination of the diameter of the thread balloon instead. That is, the always directly and correctly determined thread balloon size is transmitted reliably and accurately for evaluation to a downstream device, which initiates, if necessary, preferably in conjunction with the thread tension of the outer thread, regulatory measures.
  • a sensor device is inexpensive and also allows a compact design of the job with the result that the space required to set up a Doppeldrahtzwirn- or cabling is reduced.

  • Such light barriers are proven components in textile engineering, which are used in the textile industry in relatively large quantities. That is, such devices not only work very reliably during operation, but are also very durable. In addition, such components are also relatively inexpensive due to their large quantities.
  • the light barrier can be constructed either as a one-way photocell, in which the light source and the light receiver are arranged on opposite sides of the monitored thread ballon, or be designed as a reflection light barrier, wherein the light source and the light receiver on the same side of monitoring thread balloons are installed.

  • a phototransistor or a photoresistor can be used as a light receiver.
  • a photodiode is known to be very sensitive to brightness variations. If, for example, the light beam emitted by the light source is interrupted by a thread, the lowered illuminance is immediately registered by the photodiode. That is, the electrical conductivity of the photodiode decreases, which is passed as an electrical signal to a downstream device.
  • the scanning of the thread balloon can for example be orthogonal or parallel to the axis of rotation of the spindle and thus to the axis of rotation of the thread balloon.
