Description

Deckelelement einer Offenend-Spinnvorrichtung zum Verschließen eines besaugten, nach vorne hin offenen RotorgehäusesCover element of an open-end spinning device for closing an evacuated, forwardly open rotor housing

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Deckelelement einer Offenend-Spinnvorrichtung zum Verschließen eines nach vorne hin offenen, während des Spinnprozesses mit Unterdruck beaufschlagten Rotorgehäuses gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a cover element of an open-end spinning device for closing a forwardly open, during the spinning process acted upon by negative pressure rotor housing according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Deckelelemente zum Verschließen von Rotorgehäusen sind im Zusammenhang mit Offenend-Rotorspinnmaschinen seit langem in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen bekannt und in zahlreichen Patentanmeldungen ausführlich beschrieben.Such lid elements for closing rotor housings have long been known in various embodiments in connection with open-end rotor spinning machines and described in detail in numerous patent applications.

In der DE 43 34 485 A1 ist beispielsweise eine Offenend-Spinnvorrichtung beschrieben, deren Rotorgehäuse während des Spinnbetriebes durch ein schwenkbar gelagertes Deckelelement verschlossen ist, das eine in Richtung Rotorgehäuse offene Aufnahme aufweist, in der, mittels Schraubenbolzen, die entsprechende Durchgangsbohrungen im Deckelelement durchgreifen, auswechselbar ein Kanalplattenadapter festlegbar ist.
Die Aufnahme des Deckelelements verfügt über eine kreisförmige, konisch ausgebildete Anlagefläche, auf die eine entsprechend ausgebildete Lagerfläche am Grundkörper des Kanalplattenadapters abgestimmt ist.
Im eingebauten Zustand liegt der Kanalplattenadapter mit der konischen Lagerfläche seines Grundkörpers an der entsprechend geformten Anlagefläche der Aufnahme des Deckelelements an und wird dabei über die Schraubenbolzen mit einer in axialer Richtung wirkenden Haltekraft beaufschlagt.
Zur exakten Lagefixierung des Kanalplattenadapters innerhalb der Aufnahme, insbesondere zur winkelgenauen Ausrichtung des Kanalplattenadapters, ist außerdem ein Zylinderstift vorgesehen, der mit einer entsprechenden Passbohrung korrespondiert.In the DE 43 34 485 A1 For example, an open-end spinning device is described, the rotor housing is closed during spinning by a pivotally mounted cover member having an open in the direction of the rotor housing in which, by means of bolts, pass through the corresponding through holes in the cover element, interchangeable a channel plate adapter can be fixed.
The inclusion of the cover member has a circular, conical contact surface, on which a correspondingly formed bearing surface is matched to the base body of the channel plate adapter.
In the installed state of the channel plate adapter is located with the conical bearing surface of its body to the correspondingly shaped contact surface of the receptacle of the lid member and is acted upon via the bolts with a force acting in the axial direction holding force.
For exact position fixation of the channel plate adapter within the receptacle, in particular for precise angular alignment of the channel plate adapter, In addition, a cylindrical pin is provided, which corresponds with a corresponding fitting bore.

Nachteilig bei diesem bekannten Deckelelement ist unter anderem die Art der Befestigung des Kanalplattenadapters in der Aufnahme des Deckelelements. Das heißt, zum Auswechseln des Kanalplattenadapters müssen stets zunächst die beiden Schraubenbolzen entfernt werden, was insbesondere bei einem Partiewechsel, bei dem in der Regel alle Kanalplattenadapter einer Offenend-Rotorspinnmaschine gewechselt werden müssen, sehr zeitaufwendig ist.A disadvantage of this known cover element is, inter alia, the type of attachment of the channel plate adapter in the receptacle of the cover element. That is, to replace the channel plate adapter always first the two bolts must be removed, which is very time-consuming, especially in a batch change, in which usually all channel plate adapter of an open-end rotor spinning machine must be changed.

Es sind daher bereits Deckelelemente vorgeschlagen worden, bei denen die vorstehend beschriebenen Schraubenbolzen durch andere, relativ schnell lösbare Arretierungsmittel, die kraftschlüssig und/oder formschlüssig wirken, ersetzt wurden.Therefore, cover elements have already been proposed in which the above-described bolts have been replaced by other, relatively quickly releasable locking means, which act positively and / or positively.

Durch die DE 197 17 735 A1 ist beispielsweise eine Offenend-Spinnvorrichtung bekannt, deren Deckelelement, wie bekannt, eine konische Aufnahme zum Festlegen eines Kanalplattenadapters aufweist, dessen Grundkörper über eine entsprechend konisch ausgebildete Lagerfläche verfügt.
Der Kanalplattenadapter weist auf der Rückseite seines Grundkörpers außerdem einen zentrischen Ansatz auf, der im Einbauzustand des Kanalplattenadapters das Deckelelement durchfasst und von einer am Deckelelement angeordneten Stabfeder im Sinne "fixieren" beaufschlagt wird. Ein derartig festgelegter Kanalplattenadapter kann im Bedarfsfall schnell und problemlos ausgebaut werden, da lediglich die Stabfeder weggeschwenkt werden muss, um den Kanalplattenadapter freizugeben.By the DE 197 17 735 A1 For example, an open-end spinning device is known, the cover element, as known, has a conical receptacle for fixing a channel plate adapter, whose base body has a correspondingly conical bearing surface.
The channel plate adapter also has on the rear side of its basic body a centric projection which, in the installed state of the channel plate adapter, grips the lid element and is acted upon by a rod spring arranged on the cover element in the sense of "fixing". Such a fixed channel plate adapter can be quickly and easily removed if necessary, since only the bar spring must be swung away to release the channel plate adapter.

In der Praxis hat sich allerdings gezeigt, dass auch bei Deckelelementen, bei denen der Kanalplattenadapter, wie in der DE 197 17 735 A1 beschrieben, schnell auswechselbar in einer Aufnahme des Deckelelements festgelegt ist, noch Verbesserungspotential gegeben ist.
Bei derartigen Deckelelementen, bei denen ein Kanalplattenadapter mit seinem konischen Grundkörper direkt in einer konischen, nach hinten teilweise offenen Aufnahme des Deckelelements festgelegt ist, besteht beispielsweise stets die Gefahr, dass Falschluft eintreten kann.
Das heißt, bei solchen Deckelelementen können bereits kleinste Verkantungen beim Einbau des Kanalplattenadapters oder kleine Unreinheiten auf den Lagerflächen zum Eintritt von Falschluft in das Rotorgehäuse führen, mit der Folge, dass an der betroffenen Spinnvorrichtung zum Teil erhebliche Probleme auftreten.In practice, however, has shown that even with cover elements, in which the channel plate adapter, as in the DE 197 17 735 A1 described, quickly interchangeable in one Recording the lid member is set, there is still room for improvement.
In such cover elements, in which a channel plate adapter is fixed with its conical body directly in a conical, rearwardly partially open receptacle of the lid member, for example, there is always the danger that false air can occur.
That is, with such cover elements even the smallest tilting when installing the channel plate adapter or small impurities on the bearing surfaces can lead to the entry of false air into the rotor housing, with the result that at the affected spinning device sometimes considerable problems.

Um den Eintritt von Falschluft in das Rotorgehäuse möglichst zuverlässig zu verhindern, ist deshalb bereits vorgeschlagen worden, die Deckelelemente so auszubilden, dass im Bereich der Aufnahmen Durchgangsbohrungen für Befestigungsmittel möglichst vermieden werden.In order to prevent the ingress of false air into the rotor housing as reliably as possible, it has therefore already been proposed to design the cover elements in such a way that through-holes for fastening means are avoided as far as possible in the region of the receptacles.

In der DE 196 17 527 A1 oder der DE 198 36 073 A1 sind beispielsweise Offenend-Spinnvorrichtungen mit schwenkbar gelagerten Deckelelementen beschrieben, die, wie üblich, jeweils eine in Richtung Rotorgehäuse offene Aufnahme mit konischen Anlageflächen aufweisen, in der leicht auswechselbar ein Kanalplattenadapter festlegbar ist.In the DE 196 17 527 A1 or the DE 198 36 073 A1 For example, open-end spinning devices are described with pivotally mounted cover elements, which, as usual, each having a receptacle open in the direction of the rotor housing with conical bearing surfaces, in which easily replaceable a channel plate adapter can be fixed.

Allerdings ist bei diesen Deckelelementen die Aufnahme für den Kanalplattenadapter weitestgehend geschlossen. Das heißt, im eingebauten Zustand liegt der Kanalplattenadapter mit seiner konischen Anlagefläche an einer entsprechend geformten Anlagefläche der Aufnahme des Deckelelements an und wird dabei entweder, wie in der DE 196 17 527 A1 beschrieben, über in das Deckelelement integrierte, sowohl form- als auch kraftschlüssig wirkende Befestigungsmittel mit einer in axialer Richtung wirkenden Haltekraft beaufschlagt, oder der Kanalplattenadapter wird, wie durch die DE 198 36 073 A1 bekannt, durch eine ebenfalls in das Deckelelement integrierte, rein kraftschlüssig arbeitende Magnetkupplung fixiert.However, the receptacle for the channel plate adapter is largely closed in these cover elements. That is, in the installed state of the channel plate adapter is located with its conical contact surface on a correspondingly shaped contact surface of the receptacle of the lid member and is thereby either, as in DE 196 17 527 A1 described over integrated into the cover element, both positive and non-positive act acting fasteners with a force acting in the axial direction holding force, or the channel plate adapter, as by the DE 198 36 073 A1 known, fixed by a likewise integrated into the cover element, purely non-positively working magnetic coupling.

Wenngleich mit derartig ausgebildeten Deckelelementen der Eintritt von Falschluft in das Rotorgehäuse weitestgehend vermieden werden konnte, haben sich solche Deckelelemente aus verschiedenen Gründen, unter anderem auch aus Kostengründen, als nicht vorteilhaft erwiesen und konnten sich in der Praxis nicht durchsetzen.
Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß DE 196 17 527 A1 muss zum Auswechseln eines Kanalplattenadapters beispielsweise stets neben einer als kraftschlüssiges Befestigungsmittel eingesetzten Magnetkupplung noch ein als Gewindeverbindung bzw. Bajonettverschluss ausgebildetes, mit der Magnetkupplung zusammenwirkendes formschlüssiges Befestigungsmittel ggf. unter Verwendung von Spezialwerkzeug gelöst werden.
Auch die Ausführungsform gemäß DE 198 36 073 A1 , bei der der Kanalplattenadapter nur durch eine in das Deckelelement integrierte Magnetkupplung gehalten wird, hat sich nicht als besonders praktisch erwiesen und aus diesem Grunde ebenfalls keinen Eingang in die Praxis gefunden.Although with such a trained cover elements of the entry of false air into the rotor housing could be largely avoided, such cover elements for various reasons, including for cost reasons, have proved not advantageous and could not prevail in practice.
In the embodiment according to DE 196 17 527 A1 For exchanging a channel plate adapter, for example, in addition to a magnetic coupling used as a force-locking fastening means, a form-locking fastening means designed as a threaded connection or bayonet closure and cooperating with the magnetic coupling must optionally be achieved using special tools.
Also, the embodiment according to DE 198 36 073 A1 , in which the channel plate adapter is held only by a magnetic coupling integrated in the cover element, has not proven to be particularly practical and therefore also found no input into the practice.

Wenngleich, wie vorstehend erläutert, bei Deckelelementen, wie sie durch die DE 197 17 735 A1 bekannt sind, stets die Gefahr bestand, dass Falschluft in das Rotorgehäuse eintritt, konnten sich derartig ausgebildete Deckelelemente nach einer Modifikation des zugehörigen Kanalplattenadapters in der Praxis durchsetzen und sind in der Textilindustrie inzwischen in großer Stückzahl im Einsatz. Das heißt, um das im Zusammenhang mit derartig ausgebildeten Deckelelementen bekannte Problem des Eintritts von Falschluft in den Griff zu bekommen, wurden die bekannten Kanalplattenadapter im Bereich des maximalen Durchmessers ihres Grundkörpers mit einer Ringnut ausgestattet, in der eine Ringdichtung liegt, die im Einbauzustand des Kanalplattenadapters mit der konischen Anlagefläche der Aufnahme des Deckelelementes korrespondiert.
Die an der konischen Anlagefläche der Aufnahme des Deckelelements anliegende Ringdichtung verhindert zuverlässig, dass zwischen den Anlageflächen des Kanalplattenadapters und den Anlageflächen der Aufnahme Falschluft in das Rotorgehäuse eindringen kann.Although, as explained above, in cover elements, as they pass through the DE 197 17 735 A1 are known, there was always the risk that false air enters the rotor housing, such trained cover elements were able to prevail in practice after a modification of the associated channel plate adapter and are now in the textile industry in large quantities in use. That is, to the known in connection with such trained cover elements problem of Entrance of false air to get a grip, the known channel plate adapter in the region of the maximum diameter of its base body were equipped with an annular groove in which a ring seal is located, which corresponds in the installed state of the channel plate adapter with the conical contact surface of the recording of the lid member.
The voltage applied to the conical contact surface of the receptacle of the lid member ring seal reliably prevents that between the contact surfaces of the channel plate adapter and the contact surfaces of the intake false air can penetrate into the rotor housing.

Inzwischen hat sich allerdings herausgestellt, dass auch die Anlage der in einer Ringnut des Grundkörpers des Kanalplattenadapters angeordneten Ringdichtung an der konischen Anlagefläche der Aufnahme des Deckelelements nicht immer optimal ist.
Das heißt, eine solche Anordnung weist den Nachteil auf, dass nicht immer eine exakte axiale Einbaulage des Kanalplattenadapters in der Aufnahme des Deckelelements realisiert werden kann.
Bei der vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsform besteht vielmehr die Gefahr, dass der Kanalplattenadapter in axialer Richtung zu nahe am Spinnrotor positioniert ist, mit der Folge, dass der während des Spinnbetriebes mit hoher Drehzahl umlaufende Spinnrotor mit dem unkorrekt positionierten Kanalplattenadapter kollidieren kann.In the meantime, however, it has been found that even the arrangement of the ring seal arranged in an annular groove of the base body of the channel plate adapter on the conical bearing surface of the receptacle of the cover element is not always optimal.
That is, such an arrangement has the disadvantage that not always an exact axial mounting position of the channel plate adapter can be realized in the receptacle of the lid member.
Rather, in the embodiment described above, there is a risk that the channel plate adapter is positioned too close to the spinning rotor in the axial direction, with the result that the spinning rotor revolving at high speed during the spinning operation may collide with the incorrectly positioned channel plate adapter.

Ausgehend vom vorstehend beschriebenen Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Deckelelement zum Verschließen des Rotorgehäuses einer Offenend-Spinnvorrichtung zu entwickeln, das ein ordnungsgemäßes, funktionsgerechtes Festlegen eines Kanalplattenadapters in einer Aufnahme des Deckelelements ermöglicht.Based on the above-described prior art, the present invention seeks to develop a cover member for closing the rotor housing of an open-end spinning device, which allows a proper, functional setting a channel plate adapter in a receptacle of the lid member.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Deckelelement gelöst, wie es im Anspruch 1 beschrieben ist.This object is achieved by a cover element, as described in claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Deckelelements, bei dem im Einbauzustand des Kanalplattenadapters zwischen einer Aufnahme des Deckelelements und dem Grundkörper des Kanalplattenadapters eine Dichteinrichtung vorhanden ist, die über eine umlaufende Dichtfläche verfügt, die konzentrisch zur Mittenlängsachse des bei geschlossenem Deckelelement im Rotorgehäuse rotierenden Spinnrotors angeordnet ist und gegen die sich eine gegenüberliegend angeordnete elastische Ringdichtung radial abstützt, hat nicht nur den Vorteil, dass der Kanalplattenadapter aufgrund der radial wirkenden Dichteinrichtung ordnungsgemäß abgedichtet in der Aufnahme des Deckelelements positioniert werden kann, sondern die umlaufende Dichtfläche der radial wirkenden Dichteinrichtung ermöglicht auch auf einfache Weise, dass stets eine exakte axiale Einbaulage des Kanalplattenadapters realisiert werden kann.
Das heißt, im Einbauzustand des Kanalplattenadapters verhindert die wirkende Dichteinrichtung nicht nur zuverlässig das Eintreten von Falschluft in das Rotorgehäuse, sondern gewährleistet auch, dass sich aus der axialen Einbaulage des Kanalplattenadapters keinerlei negative Einflüsse, wie zum Beispiel ein Anlaufen des Spinnrotors an einen unkorrekt positionierten Kanalplattenadapter, ergeben können.The inventive construction of the cover member, wherein in the installed state of the channel plate adapter between a receptacle of the cover member and the base of the channel plate adapter, a sealing device is provided which has a circumferential sealing surface which is arranged concentrically to the central longitudinal axis of the closed lid member in the rotor housing rotating spinning rotor and against which radially supports an oppositely disposed elastic ring seal, not only has the advantage that the channel plate adapter can be properly sealed due to the radially acting sealing device in the receptacle of the lid member positioned, but the circumferential sealing surface of the radially acting sealing device also allows in a simple manner that always an exact axial mounting position of the channel plate adapter can be realized.
That is, in the installed state of the channel plate adapter, the acting sealing device not only reliably prevents the entry of false air into the rotor housing, but also ensures that the axial mounting position of the channel plate adapter no negative influences, such as a start of the spinning rotor to an incorrectly positioned channel plate adapter , can result.

Wie im Anspruch 2 beschrieben, ist in vorteilhafter Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass die Dichteinrichtung durch die umlaufende Dichtfläche, die in die Aufnahme des Deckelelements integriert ist und eine Ringdichtung gebildet wird, die in einer Ringnut des Grundkörpers des Kanalplattenadapters angeordnet ist.
Eine derartige Ausbildung weist unter anderem den Vorteil auf, dass bezüglich der einsetzbaren Kanalplattenadapter keine neuen Anforderungen gegeben sind.
Das bedeutet, bei Deckelelementen, deren Aufnahmen, wie im Anspruch 2 beschrieben, Dichteinrichtungen mit umlaufenden Dichtflächen aufweisen, können problemlos auch "alte", das heißt, bereits im Einsatz befindliche Kanalplattenadapter erfolgreich zum Einsatz gebracht werden.
Die "alten" Kanalplattenadapter müssen lediglich im Bereich ihres Grundkörpers, wie bei vielen Kanalplattenadapter Standard, eine Ringnut aufweisen, in der eine Ringdichtung angeordnet ist. Es ist folglich auf relative einfache Weise möglich, die Funktionssicherheit von Offenend-Spinnvorrichtungen, die bereits im Einsatz stehen, dadurch deutlich zu verbessern, dass sie mit Deckelelementen ausgestattet werden, die im Bereich ihrer Aufnahme eine erfindungsgemäß angeordnete und ausgebildete, umlaufende Dichtfläche aufweisen.As described in claim 2, it is provided in an advantageous embodiment that the sealing device by the circumferential sealing surface, which is integrated into the receptacle of the lid member and an annular seal is formed in an annular groove the main body of the channel plate adapter is arranged.
Such a design has, inter alia, the advantage that no new requirements are given with regard to the usable channel plate adapter.
This means that in the case of cover elements whose receptacles, as described in claim 2, have sealing devices with peripheral sealing surfaces, "old", that is, already in use, channel plate adapter can be used successfully without any problems.
The "old" channel plate adapter need only have in the region of its base body, as in many standard channel plate adapter standard, an annular groove in which a ring seal is arranged. It is thus possible in a relatively simple manner, the reliability of open-end spinning devices that are already in use, thereby significantly improve that they are equipped with cover elements having an inventively arranged and trained, circumferential sealing surface in the region of their recording.

Die Dichtfläche ist, wie im Anspruch 3 beschrieben, in vorteilhafter Ausführungsform in einer Ausnehmung im eingangsseitigen Bereich einer konisch ausgebildeten Lagerfläche der Aufnahme des Deckelelements angeordnet.
Eine solche Anordnung der Dichtfläche ermöglicht nicht nur, wie vorstehend beschrieben, den Einsatz von "alten" Kanalplattenadaptern, sondern ermöglicht auch eine relativ einfache Herstellung einer solchen Dichtfläche. Das heißt, durch die Anordnung der Dichtfläche in einer Ausnehmung im Bereich des maximalen lichten Durchmessers der Aufnahme des Deckelelements können bei der Erstellung der Dichtfläche relativ einfache Werkzeuge zum Einsatz gebracht werden, was sich z. B. auf die Herstellungskosten positiv auswirkt.The sealing surface is, as described in claim 3, arranged in an advantageous embodiment in a recess in the input-side region of a conical bearing surface of the receptacle of the lid member.
Such an arrangement of the sealing surface not only allows, as described above, the use of "old" Kanalplattenadaptern, but also allows a relatively simple production of such a sealing surface. That is, by the arrangement of the sealing surface in a recess in the region of the maximum clear diameter of the recording of the lid member can be used in the creation of the sealing surface relatively simple tools are used, which is z. B. has a positive effect on the manufacturing cost.

Wie im Anspruch 4 beschrieben, ist in vorteilhafter Ausführungsform des Weiteren vorgesehen, dass die Dichtfläche eine bezüglich der Mittelachse des Spinnrotors axiale Länge aufweist, die größer ist, als der Querschnitt der Ringdichtung des Kanalplattenadapters.As described in claim 4, it is further provided in an advantageous embodiment that the sealing surface has a respect to the central axis of the spinning rotor axial length which is greater than the cross section of the annular seal of the channel plate adapter.

Wie im Anspruch 5 beschrieben, weist die in die Lagerfläche der Aufnahme eingearbeitete Ausnehmung bezüglich der konisch ausgebildeten Lagerfläche der Aufnahme eine maximale Tiefe auf, die kleiner ist, als die halbe Stärke der Ringdichtung des Kanalplattenadapters.As described in claim 5, the recess formed in the bearing surface of the receptacle has a maximum depth, with respect to the conical bearing surface of the receptacle, which is less than half the thickness of the annular seal of the channel plate adapter.

Dichteinrichtungen mit derartig dimensionierten und auf die Lagerfläche der Aufnahme des Deckelelements abgestimmten Dichtflächen sind einerseits optimal auf die Ringdichtungen der bekannten Kanalplattenadapter abgestimmt und gewährleisten dadurch eine zuverlässige Abdichtung gegen Falschluft, andererseits wird durch eine solche Ausbildung der Dichtflächen eine ordnungsgemäße axiale Positionierung des Kanalplattenadapters in der Aufnahme des Deckelelements in keiner Weise behindert.Sealing devices with such dimensioned and matched to the bearing surface of the recording of the lid member sealing surfaces are optimally matched to the ring seals of the known channel plate adapter on the one hand and thereby ensure a reliable seal against false air, on the other hand, by such a design of the sealing surfaces proper axial positioning of the channel plate adapter in the recording the lid member in any way hindered.
