Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for winding thread and especially synthetically produced thread of polymers, such as polyamides, polyester, and the like.
- This object is attained according to the invention by dividing the winding process into several components, that is, in the present case into two components, which taken together result in the final speed. The stresses to which the rotary elements are subjected are then reduced to a fraction of those to which they would otherwise be subjected.
- the new method permits threads running at a high speed to be wound up at speeds which can still be easily controlled and which permit a package of a proper formation to be built up. Under these conditions, there is no longer any need for carrying out the spinning and stretching processes, separately and it is therefore now possible to carry out the stretching operation directly on the spinning machine.
- FIGURE 1 shows a side view, partly in section, of this apparatus; while FIGURE 2 shows a diagrammatic plan view thereof.
- the apparatus generally consists of a winding bobbin 1 on which the yarn package 2 is to be wound and which is driven by an electric motor 3, the speed of which is variable.
- the bobbin 1 is shown as being applied directly on the shaft of motor 3, it may, of course, also be driven indirectly, for example, by a pulley as conventional in a twisting machine.
- Bobbin 1 is surrounded by a hoop-shaped element 4 which contains a thin guide channel 5 through which the thread is fed and which is preferably made in the form of a bell so as to be better dynamically balanced.
- This hoop or bell 4 is driven by an electric motor 8 through a pulley 6 and a belt 7 in the direction opposite to that in which the bobbin 1 is driven.
- the thread 9 which is fed to the apparatus at a predetermined high speed is injected by compressed air through a nozzle 10 into the thread channel 5 and is then wound upon bobbin 1, for example, in the clockwise direction, as indicated in FIGURE 2.
- the winding speed per minute would amount to D-mnb, wherein D represents the diameter of the bobbin and uh the speed of the hoop or bell 4.
- bobbin 1 is driven by motor 3 in the counterclockwise direction, while bell 4 is standing still, the amount of thread wound upon bob bin 1 merely by its own rotation would be Dmns meters per minute.
- the thread feeding speed to amount to 5000 in. per minute, which at a stretch ratio of approximately 1 to 4.3 is equivalent to a spinning speed of approximately 1200 m. and assuming the diameter of bobbin 1 to be mm.
- the speed of the bobbin will amount to approximately 7500 r.p.m., provided that the speed of bell 4 and that of bobbin 1 are alike. These are speeds which can be easily controlled, as may be seen by the fact that in twisting mills much higher spindle speeds are frequently applied.
- the speed of the relatively light hoop or bell 4 is increased, for example, to 10,000 or 12,000 r.p.m.
- the speed of the bobbin may be reduced to 5000 or 3000 r.p.m., respectively. It is therefore evident that heavy yarn packages with a weight of 10 to 12 kg. of yarn may be produced without any difiiculty.
- an elevating device 1 1 is provided for reciprocating the spindle so that the thread will be wound parallel and closely adjacent to each other upon the bobbin.
- the length of the reciprocating strokes of the spindle is gradually reduced.
- the package produced will thus have a double-conical cop shape.
- the elevating device 11 is illustrated in the form of a hydraulic cylinder and piston, it may, of course, also consist of any other suitable reciprocating means.
- the thread 9 As the result of the rotation of the hoop or hell 4, the thread 9 while being fed therethrough is also twisted. Since the thread 9 usuallyconsists of many fine capillary threads which when lying parallel to each other will easily split olf, this protective twist is of a very great advantage since it facilitates the unwinding of the thread from the bobbin during the subsequent processing. The extent or degree of twisting the thread may be varied within certain limits by varying the speed of the hoop or hell 4.
- a tension measuring roller 12 is provided which by means of an electronic amplifier and governor 13 reduces the speed of the motor 3 in accordance with the increasing thickness of the package.
- the spinning of synthetic threads should always be carried out as a continuous process which should not even be interrupted by a change of bobbins. Apartfrom the fact that the operation of applying the thread at high speeds is extremely difficult, an interruption of the spinning'process would cause considerable trouble because of the unstretched thread ends which would be caused if the machine had to be stopped and newly started. The waste in thread which would be caused by such interruptions would also be very great.
- the apparatus is therefore provided with a compressed-air feeding nozzle which will continue to draw off the thread even when the bobbins are being changed.
- the feeding nozzle 10 is therefore made of a pivotable construction. 7
- nozzle 10 Whenever a full bobbin-is to be exchanged for an empty bobbin, nozzle 10 is pivoted so that the thread will be blown at full speed into and through a waste tube 14 and then be collected in a container. As soon as the bobbins have been chan ed, nozzle 10 is pivoted backv to its vertical position and the thread is blown through channel upon bobbin 1. stretching process on the machine itself is therefore not interrupted.
- the rotation of the hoop or bell 4 results in a protective twisting of the thread and thus prevents the capillary threads from splitting off, and it also facilitates unwinding of the bobbin for further processing of the thread, i
- the operation of originally threading the channel and of again threading it after a The spinning and change of bobbins may be carried out almost automatically while the machine continues running. Therefore, there is also no need for any interruption in the continuous run of the thread even while the bobbins are being changed. Consequently, the method according to the invention allows the direct stretching of synthetic threads Without interruption of the run of the thread.
- An apparatus for winding thread comprising a member forming a bobbin, driving means for rotating said bobbin in one direction at a rotary speed limited by the centrifugal force acting on the circumference of said bobbin, a member forming a thread guide, means for feeding a thread at a predetermined high speed to and through said thread guide and upon said bobbin, and driving means for rotating said thread guide in the opposite direction around said bobbin at such a speed that the sum of the revolutions of said two members multiplied by the circumference of said bobbin results in a winding speed of the thread on said bobbin corresponding to said predetermined high feeding speed.
- said member forming said thread guide is a bell-shaped guide member of a substantially U-shaped cross section partly surrounding said bobbin during the winding operation, means for mounting said guide member so as to be rotatable coaxially with and around said bobbin, said guide member containing a thread guiding channel forming said thread guide and having an inlet opening at one end of said bell-shaped guide member coaxially with said bobbin and an outlet opening at the other end of said guide member laterally and spaced from said bobbin during the Winding operation.
- a method of stretching and Winding a thread con tinuously supplied from a spinning device at a predetermined high speed upon a bobbin having a maximum rotary speed limited by the centrifugal force acting on thread wound around the circumference of said bobbin so that said maximum rotary speed multiplied by the circumference of said bobbin results in a Winding speed less than said predetermined high speed, comprising the steps of feeding the thread at said predetermined high speed through a thread guide to said bobbin; rotating said thread guide around said bobbin at a first selected rotary speed in one direction of rotation; and rotating said bobbin at a second selected rotary speed not exceeding said maximum speed in the opposite direction of rotation, said first and second rotary speeds being selected so that the sum of the revolutions of said thread guide and of said bobbin multiplied by the circumference of said bobbin corresponds to said predetermined high speed.
