Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of textile machines, in particular to a spinning frame with single-motor driven spindles.
  • each usually comprises a plurality of spinning stations arranged side by side.
  • Each station comprise independent spindles, and after an empty paper bobbin is disposed to the spindle, the machine runs to wind the yarn on the empty paper bobbin to form a yarn package.
  • the spindles of the plurality of stations for driving the empty bobbins to rotate are usually connected together by a tangential belt to be integrally driven. But in the integral driving, once the spinning is stopped due to yarn breakage or other conditions in a certain station, the spindle at the station still rotates normally since the spindle of the station is connected together with the spindles of other stations for being integrally driven.
  • the idle running of the spindle at the station increases the energy consumption; and on the other hand, since the spindle at the station still rotates normally, the broken yarn may be wound thereon, while the integral driving is adverse to the independent control of each station, and driving of the single spindle cannot be adjusted.
  • the spindle in the prior art comprises a spindle rod seat arranged on a frame and a spindle rod rotatably disposed on the spindle rod seat and integrally driven by a tangential belt.
  • the spindle rod seat is fixedly mounted on the frame by nuts, and then the spindle rod is mounted on the spindle rod seat. Since the single-motor driven spindle is provided with a motor stator component outside the spindle rod, when the original mounting mode is applied to a spinning frame with single-motor driven spindles, the mounting steps will be increased, and the operation will be inconvenient.
  • Document EP 1 154 141 A1 discloses a textile machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the textile machine has a housing for accommodating a motor stator, wherein the housing is fixed to a mounting portion by press fitting which is fixed to a frame by press fitting.
  • Document EP 0 972 867 A2 refers to an individual-drive type multiple twister which has a drive motor disposed below a rotating disc.
  • the drive motor has a housing composed of a motor supporting portion and a mounting portion mounted at the lower end of the motor supporting portion to rotatably support a spindle shaft via a bearing on a frame.
  • the mounting portion is fitted to each of the motor supporting portion and the frame by screw fastening means.
  • An objective of the invention is to provide a textile machine with single-motor driven spindles, which is convenient for mounting and operation.
  • the embodiments of the invention disclose a textile machine with single-motor driven spindles, comprising: a frame, and a plurality of single-motor driven spindles disposed on the frame; the spindle comprising a spindle rod seat disposed on the frame, a motor stator component and a spindle rod partially disposed in the spindle rod seat and the motor stator component; the spindle rod being driven to rotate by force generated between the spindle rod and the motor stator component, the motor stator component comprises a motor stator, a housing for accommodating the motor stator and a mounting portion for mounting integrally provided at the housing, and the mounting portion is fixedly connected to the spindle rod seat such that the spindle rod seat and the motor stator component are fixedly connected to the frame.
  • the mounting portion is a stepped portion integrally extending downward from the housing, and an outer diameter of the stepped portion is smaller than that of the motor stator component.
  • the invention is characterized in that the spindle rod seat comprises a positioning sleeve passing through a hole of the frame, wherein, according to one solution, a threaded structure matched with an inner wall of the stepped portion is disposed on a part of an outer surface of the positioning sleeve above the frame.
  • the stepped portion is provided with screw holes, which are provided therein with screws for fixing the mounting portion to the positioning sleeve.
  • a pin hole is formed in the stepped portion and a part of the positioning sleeve above the frame, and the pin hole is provided therein with pins for fixing the mounting portion to the positioning sleeve.
  • the stepped portion is a polygonal structure.
  • the spindle rod is fixedly provided with a magnet capable of generating force with the motor stator, and the magnet is disposed inside a cavity of the motor stator with a gap therebetween.
  • the magnet is a magnetic ring disposed on the spindle rod.
  • a bearing seat is fixedly connected to the positioning sleeve, and at least one bearing for supporting one end of the spindle rod is disposed in the bearing seat.
  • the bearing comprises a first bearing and a second bearing, which are respectively located at two ends of the bearing seat.
  • the motor stator component of the textile machine with the single-motor driven spindle comprises a motor stator, a housing for accommodating the motor stator and a mounting portion for mounting integrally provided at the housing, the mounting portion is fixedly connected to the spindle rod seat such that the spindle rod seat and the motor stator component are fixedly connected to the frame. Since the mounting portion and the housing of the motor stator component are integrally provided, the mounting of the spindle can be realized by operating the mounting portion of the motor stator component to be mounted on the spindle rod seat. The operation steps are simple and convenient and the mounting efficiency is high.
  • a textile machine with single-motor driven spindles generally comprises a plurality of rows of spinning stations arranged side by side.
  • a ring spinning frame is taken as an example, and in order to simplify the illustration and explanation, only a partial structure of a spindle at one spinning station of the ring spinning frame is illustrated.

Since a mounting portion 223 and a housing 222 of the motor stator component 220 are integrally provided, the mounting of the spindle can be realized by aligning the internal thread of the mounting portion 223 of the motor stator component 220 with the external threads of the positioning sleeve 211 and operating the mounting portion 223 to rotate. The fixing is reliable, the operation is convenient, and the mounting efficiency is high.
