Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating an open-end rotor spinning machine having a plurality of jobs, each having a spinner with a sauchristbeaufschlagbaren rotor housing in which a spinning rotor rotates at high speed, for producing a thread and a winding device for producing a cross-wound bobbin , wherein the connection of the jobs to a central vacuum supply is switched off.
  • Open-end rotor spinning machines have long been known and usually consist of a plurality of juxtaposed in series, similar jobs. In addition, they have a central control device and a spinning machine's own vacuum system. Each of these jobs has a spinning and a winding device, where the sliver presented in a sliver can be spun into a yarn and wound into a cheese.
  • the presented sliver is fed by means of a sliver feed cylinder of the opening roller, which dissolves the sliver in individual fibers with their clothing and transported to Faserleitkanal the spin box.
  • the fiber transport is supported by the existing in the rotor housing vacuum, which generates an air flow in the fiber guide, dissolves the fibers from the Auflettegarnitur and transported via the so-called channel plate adapter targeted in the spinning rotor.
  • the fibers slip into the collection groove of the spinning rotor, where they are collected, drawn off axially through the draw-off nozzle in the axis of rotation and thus turned into a yarn which is wound onto a cross-wound bobbin.
  • EP 0 529 312 B1 discloses an open-end rotor spinning machine having in the suction line for generating the spinning vacuum in the rotor housing via a valve with quick exhaust.
  • the valve By means of the valve, the aspiration of the rotor housing is interrupted before piecing.
  • the fibers are not, as usual during the spinning process, sucked through the fiber guide channel, but through the suction opening of the opening roller.
  • the rotor housing is again subjected to negative pressure. Timed to match the suction is completed by the suction opening of the opening roller.
  • the DE 10 2006 037 849 A1 discloses an open-end spinning machine and a method for controlling an open-end spinning machine during a piecing operation when re-spun a thread or after a thread break. Based on the fact that the Neuanspinnen after closing the housing by means of so-called scavenging the rotor interior of subsequently introduced and there accumulated impurities is cleaned, that each spinning station requires its own scavenging and that the Anspinnautomaten / maintenance facilities additionally appropriate connections for introducing the scavenging air must have a re-spinning of the yarn with reduced device and procedural effort to be made possible.
  • a disadvantage of the methods and devices according to the prior art, however, is that the rotor housing of the individual workstations are permanently subjected to negative pressure, except for the piecing process or the associated cleaning process.
  • the present invention seeks to develop a method that optimizes the vacuum consumption of an open-end rotor spinning machine.
  • the vacuum is constantly supplied to all the spinning devices, regardless of whether the spinning device produces yarn. But as often a part of the spinning devices are not produced, for example due to thread interruptions, cheese change or not all jobs are occupied, the negative pressure supply is ineffective according to the prior art.
  • the negative pressure for spinning is needed only for the to be started and the already producing jobs.
  • the machine can be started up faster. Since only the spinning stations are subjected to negative pressure, which actually spindle, according to the invention can now spin more spinning stations at the same time. While up to now spinning machines could spin on about 12 spinning stations at the same time, with the method according to the invention more than 20 spinning stations are involved. In this way, the efficiency of the open-end rotor spinning machine is achieved faster.
  • the application of negative pressure to the rotor housing is done individually for each individual job or in groups for several jobs.
  • a single stationary work site may be exempted from the pressurization of the rotor housing, although it is surrounded by yarn producing work sites. It may also be useful to switch non-working groups of jobs. Depending on requirements, these can be sections or section pages. For example, if the open-end rotor spinning machine temporarily only produces on the work sites of one side of the machine, then the entire side whose work stations are stationary can be excluded from the vacuum supply. This would be possible for example by an additional branch of the vacuum duct system, which applies negative pressure to the sections or machine sides.
  • the FIG. 1 schematically shows a front view of an open-end rotor spinning machine 1.
  • the open-end rotor spinning machine 1 has a plurality between two end frames 2 and 3 arranged, largely self-sufficient jobs 4.
  • the end racks 2, 3 of this open-end rotor spinning machine 1 are, as known and therefore not shown in detail, connected through continuous supply and disposal channels, for example a vacuum channel for supplying the arranged in the field of jobs 4 spinning devices 5 with spinning vacuum, an electronic channel for a bus system 13 and a cable channel for supplying the work stations 4 with electrical energy.
  • the yarn-forming and winding devices of the workstations 4 are defined on job site housing 6.
  • a textile machine's own vacuum source 9 is arranged, while in the end frame 2 a (not shown) electrical power supply and a central control unit 10 of the open-end rotor spinning machine 1 is integrated.
  • the central control unit 10 which has a memory device 20 via a computer device 12, is connected to the control devices 8 of the individual workstations 4 via a bus system 13 or the like.
  • the central control unit 10 further has an operating unit 17.
  • the operating unit 17 By means of the operating unit 17, it is possible to input and display parameters which are required for controlling the open-end rotor spinning machine 1 and the work stations 4.
  • the operating unit 17 has a keypad-shaped device 11 for inputting the parameters and a display means 19 designed as a screen.
  • the screen 19 can also be designed as a touchscreen and thus additionally assume the input function. Such a Above all, touchscreen is ideal for making a selection within a menu.
  • the entered parameters are stored in the memory 20 of the computer device 12.
  • the memory 20 contains information as to which parameters are to be set for a specific type of change in the mode of operation of the open-end rotor spinning machine 1. For this purpose groups of parameters are assigned to the modes of change of the method of operation.
  • FIG. 1 can be seen on the numerous jobs 4 each by means of the spinning device 5, a master fiber tape 14, which is stored in sliver cans 15, which are positioned in series next to each other below the jobs 4, spun into a thread 16, which then on the winding device 7 to a cross-wound bobbin 18 is wound up.
  • spinning device of an open-end rotor spinning machine 1 carries a total of the reference number. 5
  • Such spinning devices 5 have, as is known, a rotor housing 21 in which the spinning cup 22 of a spinning rotor 23 rotates at high speed.
  • the spinning rotor 23 is supported with its rotor shaft 24 in the bearing gusset of a preferably axially thrust-free support disk bearing 25.
  • the spinning rotor 23 is thereby driven by a machine-tangential belt 26, which is made by a pressure roller 27 to the rotor shaft 24.
  • the axial positioning of the rotor shaft 24 in the Lagerzwickel the support disk bearing 25 is preferably carried out via a permanent magnetic thrust bearing 28th
  • the spinning rotor 23 could of course also be driven by a single motor and, for example, be supported without contact in a permanent magnet bearing.
  • the cover element 29 has a channel plate 31 with a seal 32 preferably positioned in an annular groove.
  • a channel plate adapter 34 is arranged, which has the mouth region of a Faserleitkanals 35.
  • channel plate adapter 34 is equipped with a yarn draw-off nozzle 36 and on the output side with a yarn draw-off tube 37.
  • lid member 29 which is rotatably mounted limited to a pivot axis 38, an opening roller housing 39 and the opening roller housing 39 is integrated in the lid member 29, the further rear bearing brackets 40, 41 for supporting an opening roller 42 and a sliver feed cylinder 43 has.
  • the opening roller 42 is thereby driven in the region of its whorl 44 by a rotating, machine-long tangential belt 45, while the drive (not shown) of the sliver feed cylinder 43 preferably via a worm gear arrangement, which is connected to a machine-length drive shaft 46.
  • individual motor drives for the opening roller 42 and / or the sliver feed cylinder 43 can of course also be provided here.
  • the yarn 16 produced in the vacuum-pressurized spinning device 5 is drawn off by the yarn draw-off device and then wound up on the winding device 7 to form a cross-wound bobbin 18.
  • the thread 16 coming to the reel is laid by means of the thread-changing device (not shown) in such a way that it runs onto the lateral surface of the cross-wound bobbin 18 in crossing positions.
  • the drive of the sliver feed cylinder 43 to interrupt the fiber feed to the opening roller 42 and thus ultimately into the spinning rotor 23 off and initiates the lifting of the cheese 18 from the bobbin drive roller, so that the yarn end 16 can not einwalken in the cheese surface 18.
  • the solenoid valve 50 receives a corresponding signal. Thereafter, the solenoid valve 50 turns and the passage between the pressure line 48 and the pressure line 49, which is connected to a loop 51, is opened.
  • the ring line 51 acts on a plurality of jobs 4 with overpressure.
  • the compressed air from the ring line 51 flows through the pressure lines 48 and 49 in the pinch valve 47 and closes the pressure line 30.
  • the rotor housing 21 is no longer subjected to negative pressure.
  • the thread end 16 Since the thread end 16 is usually pulled out of the spinning box due to the high winding speed after the yarn breakage, the thread end 16 has to be found on the raised from the bobbin drive roller cross-wound bobbin 18 and some layers are unwound.
  • the thread end 16 has to be introduced against the normal withdrawal direction through the thread withdrawal tube 37 and the withdrawal nozzle 36 in the direction of the spinning rotor 23.
  • the magnetic valve 50 receives the signal to close. Thereupon, the pinch valve 47 opens and the pressure in the pressure line 48 decreases. The rotor housing is again subjected to the necessary negative pressure for spinning.
  • the control devices of the first twenty jobs 4 are activated via switching elements, not shown. Then close at these twenty jobs 4, the corresponding solenoid valves 50 and the pinch valves 47 open. As a result, the pressure in the pressure lines 48 of the respective work stations 4 decreases and the selected work stations 4 are subjected to sufficient negative pressure, so that new threads can be spun. After the first twenty jobs have 4 completed the piecing process, the next twenty jobs 4 can be applied for spinning with negative pressure.
