Definitions

  • Present invention relates to a method of melt-spinning and winding synthetic yarns, and an equipment for realizing the method.
  • melt-state thermoplastics are sprayed out, under an operating pressure by spinneret capillaries of spinneret nozzle plate.
  • Continuous long melts which are sprayed out along gravity direction are formed into continuous filaments under compulsive cooling air.
  • monomers or low polymers prone to linger on surface of spinneret nozzle plate of spinneret solidify into impurities or coking materials. Therefore it is necessary to clean spinneret nozzle plate on a regular basis.
  • one spinning zone is assigned with one operator who takes responsibility of wiping spinneret nozzle plates of said spinning zone.
  • the general workflow of wiping is, first scraping surface of spinneret nozzle plate, then spraying silicone oil onto surface of spinneret nozzle plate, afterwards second-time scraping, then second-time silicone oil spraying.
  • present invention provides a method of melt-spinning and winding synthetic yarns, and an equipment for realizing the method, to solve aforementioned problem.
  • Technical solutions which are used to achieve the aim are listed as follows.
  • a method of melt-spinning and winding synthetic yarns wherein a polymer melt is conveyed through a spin pump and fed to a plurality of spinnerets which extrude the polymer melt into a plurality of yarns respectively, wherein the yarns are wound into a plurality of bobbins by a winding device and wherein the spinnerets are regularly maintained by wiping a spinneret nozzle plate, the maintenance of at least one of the spinnerets is initiated by manual pressing a wiping button which is connected to a machine control unit and the machine control unit generates a control command which is transmitted to a wiping robot.
  • the machine control unit checks whether the winding device is in winding status and sends different control commands to the wiping robot based on different check results.
  • the machine control unit Prior to start of wiping action of the wiping robot, it is necessary that the machine control unit knows status of the winding device, given that spinneret nozzle plate wiping has to be performed with no influence on bobbin formation on the winding device. Based on abovementioned reason, if the machine control unit checks that the winding device is in winding status, the machine control unit sends to the wiping robot a signal to wait wiping action until bobbin is full. Another possibility is, if the machine control unit checks that the winding device is not in winding status, the machine control unit sends to the wiping robot a signal to immediately start wiping action.
  • the wiping robot is able to move out of a base station and stops in one of several maintenance positions and positions itself.
