Definitions

  • the invention relates to an open-end spinning machine with a plurality of work stations, each of which has a spinning device for producing a thread, a thread take-off device for taking the thread out of the spinning device, a storage nozzle for temporarily storing the taken-off thread, a winding device for producing a cross-wound bobbin, and a suction nozzle that can be subjected to negative pressure
  • the open-end spinning machine is equipped with at least one service unit that serves several of the work stations, which has an auxiliary thread supply device for supplying an auxiliary thread, and an auxiliary thread take-off, which are used in a piecing process at a work station to be operated, in particular in the course of a cross-wound bobbin/empty tube change, and a method for operating such an open-end spinning machine.
  • the workstations of such open-end spinning machines can either each have an open-end spinning device which is designed as a rotor spinning device, wherein the spinning rotor, as for example in the publication EP 1 156 142 B1 described, preferably magnetically mounted.
  • the workstations can each be equipped with an open-end spinning device that has an air spinning device.
  • air spinning devices are described, for example, in the publication DE 199 26 492 A1 or the printed matter DE 2005 022 186 A1 described in relatively great detail.
  • each of the workstations preferably has, in addition to a spinning device and a winding device, a storage nozzle for temporarily storing a produced thread and a suction nozzle that can be subjected to negative pressure, in particular one that is pivotably mounted between the spinning device and the winding device.
  • open-end spinning machines equipped in this way are often equipped with at least one Equipped with a service unit, which is used during a piecing process at a work station that needs to be operated, in particular when changing cross-wound bobbins/empty tubes. This means that such service units intervene when a cross-wound bobbin has reached a specified diameter at one of the work stations and needs to be replaced with a new empty tube.
  • Such service units have also been known for a long time and, as described for example in the publication DE 101 39 072 A1 described in quite some detail, usually have numerous different handling devices.
  • Such service units have, for example, an auxiliary thread supply device for providing an auxiliary thread required in connection with a cross-wound bobbin/empty tube change for the re-spinning of a work station, a thread application device for securing the newly spun thread to an empty tube held in a bobbin frame of the winding device of the work station in question, and an auxiliary thread take-off device which is used to take off the newly spun thread and in particular for the disposal of the piecer produced using the auxiliary thread.
  • the auxiliary thread supply device often has a so-called thread supply tube, which is mounted in an intermediate wall of the service unit so that it can rotate about a pivot axis and can be positioned in a defined manner by means of a stepper motor.
  • a supply spool that provides the required auxiliary thread is connected to the thread supply tube, for example via a rotary union and a pipe and/or hose system.
  • a supply mechanism is also arranged that draws the auxiliary thread from the supply spool, and a thread cutting device is installed that cuts the auxiliary thread after it has been transferred for the last time to the suction nozzle of the work station, which is in particular mounted so that it can pivot.
  • the thread application device of such service units is preferably designed as a pivot arm that can be moved from a rear rest position into the area of the winding device of the work station and has a head element that has a plurality of different handling devices.
  • the head element is equipped, for example, with a thread guide roller, a thread brake and a thread cutting device.
  • the head element of the thread feeding device can have a tube plate opener with which a tube plate of the winding device can be acted upon in such a way that a gap is provided between the tube plate and an end face of an empty tube held in the winding device.
  • Such service units are also usually equipped with an auxiliary thread take-off, which drives the auxiliary thread frictionally, especially during its disposal.
  • the take-off speed of this auxiliary thread take-off corresponds to the thread take-off speed of the thread take-off device at the work station.
  • such service units are preferably used when a cross-wound bobbin has reached a predetermined diameter at a work station of an open-end spinning machine and must be replaced with a new empty tube.
  • the service unit is called to the relevant work station, positions itself there and transfers the full cross-wound bobbin from the bobbin frame of the work station to a cross-wound bobbin transport device arranged behind the winding devices, preferably the length of the machine, which transports the cross-wound bobbin to a transfer station usually arranged at the end of the machine.
  • the service unit then places a new empty tube in the bobbin frame of the work station.
  • the service unit provides the so-called auxiliary thread.
  • the thread delivery pipe of the auxiliary thread delivery device pivots into a lower operating position and transfers the beginning of the auxiliary thread to a suction nozzle of the work station, which is particularly pivotably mounted and positioned in a so-called thread transfer position.
  • the suction nozzle then pivots downwards and transfers the beginning of the auxiliary thread to a piecing device arranged in the area of the spinning device, which prepares the auxiliary thread for the piecing process.
  • the auxiliary thread was also threaded into a thread take-off device of the work station.
  • the thread feed tube of the auxiliary thread feed device pivots into an upper operating position and the thread feed device pivots in the direction of the winding device of the work station.
  • the auxiliary thread provided by the auxiliary thread feed device which at this point is stretched between the thread take-off device of the work station and the upwardly pivoted thread feed tube, is transferred to the area of the winding device of the work station by means of the handling devices arranged on the head element of the thread feed device of the service unit. This means that the stretched auxiliary thread runs in the area of the winding device through a gap between a tube plate of the winding device and the front side of the inserted empty tube.
  • the thread delivery pipe of the auxiliary thread delivery device then pivots further clockwise and places the auxiliary thread into the auxiliary thread take-off of the service unit before the auxiliary thread is transferred back to the pivoting suction nozzle, which is again positioned in the thread transfer position.
  • the actual, familiar piecing process then takes place.
  • the auxiliary thread which is now connected to the new spinning thread via a so-called piecing machine, is disposed of.
  • This means that the auxiliary thread or the new spinning thread is drawn off by the thread take-off device of the work station and, guided through the handling elements of the thread laying device and acted upon by the auxiliary thread take-off of the service unit, runs into the pivoting suction nozzle of the work station, which disposes of the auxiliary thread.
  • the new spinning thread is clamped by closing the gap and separated properly by the thread cutting device.
  • the empty tube is then rotated and the new winding process is started.
  • the spinning thread produced by the open-end spinning device during the clamping and cutting process and continuously drawn off by the thread take-off device of the work station is also temporarily stored in the storage nozzle of the work station.
  • a disadvantage of the known open-end spinning machines and the processes for operating these textile machines is that both during the disposal of the auxiliary thread and during the clamping and cutting process of the new spinning thread, larger thread loops are created that have to be temporarily stored by the storage nozzle of the work station. This means that due to the often quite large quantities of thread that have to be temporarily stored in the storage nozzle of the work station, problems often arise when the resulting thread loops are subsequently unraveled. This means that there is a risk, for example, that the thread loops in the suction nozzle, which often extend into the vacuum channel of the open-end spinning machine, will become tangled, which either leads to a thread break or that the thread in the the spinning thread stored in the storage nozzle runs onto the empty tube with an undefined thread tension.
  • the invention is based on the object of reducing, or at best avoiding, the risk of thread breakage and/or uncontrolled entanglement of a thread loop to be temporarily stored in a storage nozzle of a work station of an open-end spinning machine during a piecing process, in particular during a cross-wound bobbin/empty tube change.
  • auxiliary thread take-off is designed and operable in such a way that the auxiliary thread take-off speed of the auxiliary thread take-off for taking off the spun auxiliary thread, preferably at the start of the take-off or from a defined point in time between the start of the take-off and an initiated interruption of the take-off of the spun auxiliary thread, for example by clamping the auxiliary thread in the thread path in front of the auxiliary thread take-off, has a speed offset in which the thread take-off speed of the thread take-off device of the work station and at least one further correction factor are taken into account.
  • the preferred defined point in time can be selected in such a way that the thread loop running into the storage nozzle has a predeterminable size and/or length at the latest at the time of the initiated interruption of the take-off of the spun auxiliary thread.
  • a control device which is wirelessly or wired coupled to the open-end spinning machine and is designed to generate and transmit a control command for operating the auxiliary thread take-off for taking off the spun auxiliary thread at the auxiliary thread take-off speed having the speed offset, which takes into account the thread take-off speed of the thread take-off device and at least the further correction factor.
  • the control device can preferably be a component of the open-end spinning machine, for example a component of a central control device controlling the open-end spinning machine or a work station control device controlling the work station of the open-end spinning machine or a service unit control device controlling at least one service unit.
  • control device can be an external control device independent of the open-end spinning machine, such as a higher-level It can be a control device for controlling several textile machines or a mobile control device which can be or can be coupled to the open-end spinning machine wirelessly or via cable for transmitting the control command.
  • the task is further solved in terms of the method in that after a step of producing a piecing using an auxiliary thread supplied by the service unit, a step of pulling off the spun auxiliary thread using the thread pulling device and the auxiliary thread pulling takes place, wherein the auxiliary thread pulling is operated, preferably at the start of pulling or at least from a defined point in time before an initiated interruption of the pulling off of the spun auxiliary thread, for example by clamping the auxiliary thread in the thread path before the auxiliary thread pulling, with an auxiliary thread pulling speed having a speed offset which takes into account the thread pulling speed of the thread pulling device and at least one further correction factor.
  • the defined point in time can be selected as described above.
  • auxiliary thread pulling can take place at least until shortly before or until the time of the initiated interruption, further preferably also after the time of the initiated interruption, for example to dispose of the auxiliary thread.
  • the latter offers the particular advantage that it is possible to dispense with the generation and issuing of a modified control command.
  • the inventive design of the auxiliary thread take-off of a service unit has the particular advantage that, due to the consideration of at least one further factor influencing the thread path of the spun auxiliary thread during its take-off, in particular during its disposal, an adjustment of the auxiliary thread take-off speed of the auxiliary thread take-off of the service unit to the thread take-off speed of the thread take-off device of the work station can be ensured. This means that it can be reliably guaranteed that the thread loop running into the storage nozzle of the work station during the disposal of the auxiliary thread does not take on such a shape or size that leads to a thread break or tangling of the thread loop.
  • the at least one correction factor to be taken into account is a thread friction of the auxiliary thread or a time difference between the start of the thread withdrawal device and the start of the auxiliary thread withdrawal is a correction factor to be taken into account.
  • a speed profile is preferably selected or set which is above the speed profile of the thread take-off device of the work station in a defined manner, whereby it can be ensured that only a relatively small excess of thread or no excess of thread is created which has to be temporarily stored in the storage nozzle.
  • the manual selection can be made via an input device which is coupled to the open-end spinning machine or the control device or which can be coupled wirelessly or by cable.
  • the automatically generated selection can be made, for example, by the control device, wherein the control device can preferably be connected to a knowledge store in which speed profiles are stored in a retrievable manner.
  • the control device can be designed to generate the speed profile to be selected or set or regulated taking into account a predetermined or continuously (for example periodically, aperiodically, continuously) determined speed profile of the thread take-off device of the spinning station and the at least one further correction factor.
  • the control device can be designed to receive a corresponding speed profile for setting the same.
  • the speed offset is selected or adjustable or controllable in such a way that a thread loop entering the storage nozzle of the work station during the withdrawal or disposal of the spun auxiliary thread has a defined size and/or length, the length preferably being 25 mm or less, more preferably 10 mm or less.
  • the penetration depth of the thread loop into the storage nozzle, which makes up the size of the thread loop is less than 10 mm, more preferably less than 5 mm.
  • the length of the incoming thread loop and, additionally or alternatively, the penetration depth of the thread loop into the storage nozzle can be adapted or set as required, whereby the risk of thread breakage and/or tangling of the thread loop can be minimized or, at best, prevented.
  • the auxiliary thread take-off for disposing of the severed section of the auxiliary thread can preferably be operated at an auxiliary thread take-off speed that can be selected as required for the safe and, if necessary, rapid disposal of the severed auxiliary thread section. Therefore, operation of the auxiliary thread take-off at the auxiliary thread take-off speed having the speed offset preferably only needs to be provided until the auxiliary thread is clamped.
  • the auxiliary thread withdrawal of the service unit can be operated with an auxiliary thread withdrawal speed that is adapted to the respective existing thread delivery speed or thread withdrawal speed of the thread withdrawal device of the work station plus at least one correction factor, it is ensured that the thread loop that is created during the withdrawal or disposal of the spun auxiliary thread and enters the storage nozzle has a reduced size and/or length that can be selected as required.
  • the service unit has a design as described in detail above in conjunction with one of the above preferred embodiments.
  • the speed offset is selected or controlled in such a way that, in addition to the thread take-off speed of the thread take-off device of the work station, additional thread friction conditions and/or time differences that exist with regard to the start of the thread take-off device of the work station and the auxiliary thread take-off can be taken into account.
  • the thread friction conditions which can be the result of relatively high mechanical friction forces caused by multiple deflections of the auxiliary thread to be pulled off around the operating elements arranged on the head element of the thread application device, it is possible in a relatively simple and precise manner to minimize the size and/or length of the thread loop entering the storage nozzle of the work station during the pulling off or disposal of the auxiliary thread.
  • auxiliary thread take-off speed of the auxiliary thread take-off of the service unit or the speed offset it is also advantageous to take into account that the thread take-off device of the work station and the auxiliary thread take-off of the service unit do not start at exactly the same time. Time differences can occur, particularly in connection with the transmission of start signals, which can thus be taken into account in a preferred manner.
