Abstract

A spinning, drawing and texturing machine for the production of curled threads includes a spinning unit and multiple machine modules associated with the spinning unit. Each of the machine modules has multiple processing assemblies for drawing and curling one of the threads, and a spooling unit for winding the thread. The machine modules positioned next to one another form a longitudinal side of the machine. The processing assemblies and the spooling unit are arranged among each other at one of the machine modules such that a narrow machine partition (T) in a range of <800 mm occurs on the longitudinal side of the machine. The spinning unit has one or more spinnerets and one spinning duct within the machine partition (T) per machine module. The spinnerets are held in rows parallel to the longitudinal side of the machine.

Description

The invention relates to a spinning-stretch texturing machine for producing crimped threads according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such a spin-stretch texture machine is for example from the EP 0 718 424 A1 known.

In the known spin-stretch texturing machine, the processing units arranged underneath a spinning device for drawing and curling the threads and the winding units are each combined to form individual machine modules. Within the machine modules, in particular, the processing units are arranged next to one another, so that a substantially horizontally oriented thread guide on the machine module predominates. Thus, depending on the treatment steps very wide machine modules are needed, which lead to a corresponding large machine pitch. Such large machine partitions, however, in principle have the disadvantage, in particular in the case of single-thread process control, that the spinnerets required for melt spinning likewise have to be held at greater distances from one another within a heated spinneret. However, such spinning devices require a greater energy consumption in order to make continuous heating of the melt-carrying components over the entire machine length. This can not meet today's requirements for high space utilization and low energy consumption.

In order to obtain a high space utilization in the production of a plurality of threads, also such spin-stretch texturing machines are known, in which the parallel juxtaposed threads are passed together over the arranged below a spinning device processing units, to be subsequently wound together in parallel next to each other on a winding spindle to a coil. Such a spin-stretch texturing machine is for example from the document EP 103 52 38 A1 known. In systems of this type, several threads are guided, treated and wound up as a thread group per spinning position. In the event that travels in the treatment or during winding one of the threads of the yarn group, the adjacent threads are automatically interrupted in their litigation, so that the entire spinning position is interrupted.

The from the EP 1 300 496 A1 In contrast, known spin-stretch texturing machine already has the advantage that the threads are wound up into coils within the spinning position in individual winding points in each case. However, the process units arranged between the take-up device and the spinning device are provided for guiding a plurality of threads, so that an individual guidance of the threads within the spinning position is not possible.

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a spin-stretch texturing machine of the generic type, in which even the largest possible number of threads in a confined space can be produced flexibly even with a single thread guide.

Another object of the invention is to provide a spin-stretch texturing machine of the type mentioned, with which an automated production of crimped threads is possible.

This object is achieved by a spin-stretch texturing machine in that the processing units and the winding unit are arranged with each other on the machine modules, which adjusts a small machine pitch in the range of <800 mm on the machine longitudinal side, and that the spinning device per machine module Having one or more spinnerets and a spinning shaft within the machine pitch, wherein the spinnerets are held in a row-shaped arrangement parallel to the machine longitudinal side.

Advantageous developments of the invention are defined by the features and feature combinations of the respective subclaims.

The invention is detached from the usual in the melt spinning of a variety of threads plant concept, in which a plurality of threads are produced in parallel simultaneously in a spinning position. The spinning stretch texturing machine according to the invention continues the division effected by the machine modules as far as into the spinning device, so that only one thread is produced per spinning position. Within the spinning position, the thread can be formed both from a melt-spun filament bundle or else from a plurality of individual filament bundles, for example in the production of composite threads. The division of the machine per thread from the winding unit to the spinneret has the particular advantage that substantially less thread waste is produced in the production of a multiplicity of threads with a multiplicity of spinning positions. Thus, it is achieved by the machine division in the spinning device, that fail in a thread break in the spinning position, the so-called sympathy breaks. Only the thread produced in the spinning position is affected, the adjacent threads in adjacent spinning positions remain unaffected. This results in a higher availability of the entire system, since only one thread is affected, for example, during maintenance or cleaning. In addition, especially during stretching, texturing and winding no long projecting process units are needed.

Since the narrow machine division leads to a narrow and high design of the machine, the development of the invention is preferably carried out in which on the machine longitudinal side an increased operation gear is formed immediately in front of the machine modules, which extends substantially over the entire length of the machine longitudinal side. Thus, all can be side by side operate trained positions out of an operating passage out by an operator.

In a fully automatic package handling, in particular, the development of the invention is provided, in which the operation gear is formed in a plane above the winding units and in which the winding units a Doffereinrichtung is assigned for removal and removal of the coils. This makes it possible to carry out the fully automatic bobbin change and bobbin transport in a lower level in which no access takes place by an operator. In that regard, this high security requirements are met, so that in a semi-automatic machine, the operator operates exclusively from an operating gear out, which is guided above the Doffereinrichtung.

In order to achieve a high degree of flexibility in removing and changing the bobbins in the winding units, according to a preferred development of the spin-stretch texturing machine it is provided to drive and control the winding units of the machine modules independently of each other, each winding unit winding only one thread into a bobbin.

In order to enable a continuous thread guide without interruption, the winding units are each carried out with two drivable winding spindles, which are usually held on a rotatable support and thus can be performed alternately in an operating range and a change range.

In these cases, in particular Doffereinrichtungen have been found to be particularly suitable, in which each winding unit is associated with a stationary Spulwechselvorrichtung, which cooperates with a Spulentransporteinrichtung.

However, it should be expressly mentioned at this point that other doffing systems with mobile doffers could be used in order to be able to remove the bobbins from the winding units.

In order to be able to carry out required operating and maintenance work independently of adjacent machine modules, the development of the invention is particularly advantageous, in which the process units of the machine modules are independently drivable and controllable. This allows the production of the threads individually controlled and regulated.

In that regard, the training has proven particularly useful in which per machine module an E-unit for receiving the process units and the winding unit associated drive and control electronics is formed. This results in a very flexible construction of the entire spinning-stretch texturing machine, in which the individual positions for producing the threads are interchangeable.

Here, in particular, the formation of the spin-stretch texturing machine according to the invention has proven to be particularly easy to use, in which the E-units each have a remotely controllable control unit and that the control units are controlled separately via a mobile control unit. Thus, the process units and the winding unit of a machine module can be operated by an operator from a greater distance. This makes it possible to make adjustment adjustments to individual process parameters or to carry out individual monitoring and control functions. In addition, actual data of the position can be displayed and documented.

In order to obtain the most user-friendly arrangement of the processing units, the machine modules each have a frame wall, on which the processing units and the winding unit are held one below the other. This also allows a separation between the thread-guiding components and the Make drives and electronic components in the way that the drives and control are formed on a rear side of the frame wall and the components required to guide the thread are held on a front side of the order wall.

The development of the spin-stretch texturing machine according to the invention, in which the machine modules is associated with a suction device, which suction for each machine module in each case has an upstream in the process unit suction nozzle, is particularly suitable for automating the entire manufacturing process. Thus, in the case of a winder formation within the processing units, an automated separation of the thread can be carried out, which is then removed continuously via the suction device to a waste container. This is a shutdown of the spinning position is not required. The spinnerets remain in operation, so that after removal of the coil, the manufacturing process can be continued very quickly.

In order to automate the spin-stretch texturing machine according to the invention, it is proposed to provide a robot arranged movably on the machine longitudinal side, which robot with a movable robot arm carries out the application of one or more threads at the beginning of the process and / or after process interruption. For a fully automatic operation of the spin-stretch texturing machine is possible.

In order to be able to operate the machine modules formed within a machine longitudinal side, the robot is held on a movable carrier, which carrier can be guided in a vertical plane parallel to the machine longitudinal side. The carrier is equipped with drives, which allows both a vertical and a horizontal movement in a plane, so that the robot receives additional degrees of freedom in addition to the usually formed with multiple axes robot arm.

In this case, all components used for the thread guidance, treatment, crimping and guidance can be used as process units. Thus, the process unit for drawing the thread is preferably formed by at least two driven godets.

In order to perform as many functions as possible with a few processing units, the first godet is preferably used to pull the thread from the spinning device.

The spin-draw texturing machine according to the invention is particularly suitable for producing multicolored carpet yarns, wherein the crimped yarn is formed from a plurality of monofilaments. In principle, however, individual threads can also be spun, stretched, curled and wound up into a spool within one position.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to some embodiments of the spin-stretch texturing machine according to the invention with reference to the attached figures.

They show:

• Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 schematic views of a first embodiment of the spin-stretch texturing machine according to the invention
• Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 schematically views of another embodiment of the spin-stretch texturing machine according to the invention

In Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 a first embodiment of the spin-stretch texturing machine according to the invention is shown. In Fig. 1 is a schematic front view and in Fig. 2 schematically shows a side view of the spin-stretch texturing machine. Unless an explicit reference is made to one of the figures, the following description applies to both figures.

The spin-stretch texturing machine is formed in this embodiment by a spinning device 1 and a plurality of arranged below the spinning device 1 machine modules, in this embodiment, three adjacent machine modules 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 are shown by way of example. The machine modules 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 include a plurality of processing units 8 for drawing and curling a thread and a winding unit 9 for winding the thread.

The spinning device 1 is divided into several spinning positions 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, wherein each spinning position is associated with one of the machine modules. Thus, the spinning position 1.1 and the machine module 5.1 form a unit to produce a melt-spun yarn. The spinning position 1.2 and the machine module 5.2 and the spinning position 1.3 and the machine module 5.3 also each form a unit for producing a thread. In that regard, the in Fig. 1 and 2 shown spin-stretch texturing machine suitable for producing three threads in parallel. In order to obtain the most compact spinning device with correspondingly low energy consumption for temperature control of the melt-carrying components, and on the other hand to obtain a high space utilization in the preparation of such spin-stretch texturing machines, the process units 8 and the winding units 9 within the machine modules 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 arranged one below the other so that adjusts a very small machine pitch in the range of <800 mm on the long side. The machine division, which is denoted by the reference symbol T in Fig. 1 is registered determines the formation of the spinning positions 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, so that the space required for the production of a thread is essentially defined by the machine parting. Dependent on Whether a composite thread or a single thread is produced in the spinning position as the thread, the machine modules 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 and the spinning positions 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 can also be arranged in ranges of ≤ 600 mm.

At the in Fig. 1 illustrated embodiment of the spin-stretch texturing machine is extruded per spinning position 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 respectively several individual filaments, which are then brought together within the machine module by swirling or crimping to form a thread.

The spinning device has per spin position in each case three spinnerets 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, which are held on an underside of a heated spinneret 6. The spinning beam 6 extends over all spinning positions 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3. The spinning beam 6 is connected via a plurality of melt supply lines 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 with a plurality of melt sources, not shown here. Each of the melt sources in each case provides a polymer melt which, via the melt feeds 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 and the distribution system not shown here within the spinning bar 6, is distributed to the individual spinnerets 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 of the spinning position 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 with associated spinning pumps , Thus, for example, differently colored polymer melts can be extruded in the spinnerets 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 to produce, for example, a so-called tricolor thread per spinning position 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, as is usually required for the production of carpets.

Below the spinning beam 6, a cooling device 3 is arranged, which cooperates in each case with a spinning shaft 4. Here, each spinning position 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 a spinning shaft 4 with a conical outlet. The cooling device 3 includes a pressure chamber 50, which is coupled via a blowing wall 51 with the spinning shaft 4, so that a transversely directed cooling air flow is generated for cooling the freshly extruded filaments. The pressure chamber 50 is for this purpose connected to a coolant source, not shown here. At this point, however, it should be expressly mentioned that other not shown here Cooling principles for cooling the filaments within the spinning shaft could be used. Thus, so-called blow candles, in which a directed from the inside outward cooling air flow is generated to use for cooling.

Below the spinning shafts 4, the machine modules 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 are arranged. Each of the machine modules 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 is identical, so that the structure is explained using the example of the machine module 5.1.

The machine module 5.1 has a frame wall 26, on which a plurality of process units 8 and a discharge unit 9 are held cantilevered. The process units 8 are essentially formed by a preparation device 8.1, a stretching device 8.2, a crimping device 8.3 and a relaxation device 8.4, which are held substantially one below the other on the frame wall 26. In this case, the components of the process units 8 which are decisive for the thread guide protrude on a front side of the frame wall 26. The electric drives and controls are assigned to the process units 8 opposite on the back of the frame wall 26.

The preparation device 8.1, which may be designed, for example, as a pin preparation or roll preparation, is assigned directly to the outlet of the spinning shaft 4 and combined with a collection thread guide 11, which guides the yarns 10 fed through the individual threads for entry into the machine module 5.1.

The preparation device 8.1 is followed by the stretching device 8.2, which is formed by a withdrawal godet duo 14 and a draw godet duo 15. The withdrawal godet duo 14 and the draw godet duotone 15 each have two driven godets, on the circumference of which the individual threads are guided. The stretching device 8.2 follows the crimping device 8.3, which contains a Trexturierdüse 16 and a cooling drum 17. Within the Texturierdüse 16 are the monofilaments textured to a common thread and cooled as a thread plug on the circumference of the cooling drum 17.

After cooling, the thread is dissolved from the yarn plug and fed via the relaxation device 8.4 of the winding unit 9. The relaxation device 8.4 contains in each case a plurality of Relaxiergaletten 18.1 and 18.2, which are each formed by a driven godet with associated overflow roller. Between the Ralxiergaletten 18.1 and 18.2 a swirler 19 is arranged to compact the thread before the winding.

It should be expressly mentioned at this point that a second swirling device can preferably be arranged between the preparation device 8.1 and the stretching device 8.2 in order to carry out a preliminary swirling on the individual threads. On the one hand, this makes it possible to even out the preparation application on the multifilament monofilaments and, on the other hand, to influence the mixing of the monofilaments during texturing.

The winding unit 9 is also held on the frame wall 26. The frame wall can in this case be formed in one piece as well as in several parts within the machine module 5.1. For winding up the thread, the winding unit 9 has two driven winding spindles 21.1 and 21.2, which are held on a rotatable spindle carrier 20. Through the spindle carrier 20, the winding spindles 21.1 and 21.2 are alternately guided between an operating position and a change position. In the operating position, the winding spindles 21.1 and 21.2 cooperate with a pressure roller 23 and a traversing device 22 in order to wind a thread 24 into a coil 25.

The machine modules 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 are arranged side by side and thus form a machine longitudinal side, on which the process units 8 and the winding units 9 are held side by side. To operate the process units 8, an operating gear 27 is arranged on the front side of the frame wall 26, the extends over the entire length of the machine longitudinal side, so that an operator from the operating gear 27 can perform all the necessary operations for applying the thread or for the maintenance of process units. Thus, the yarns emerging from the spinning shaft 4 during piecing can be taken over, for example, by a manually guided suction gun and placed one after the other in the processing units 8 and winding unit 9 on the machine module. In this case, the operation gear 27 is designed to be increased in order to be able to execute all work operations from a position on the machine module 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3. At the in Fig. 1 and 2 illustrated embodiment, the operating gear 27 is arranged in a plane which extends between the process units 8 and the winding unit 9. A space for changing the bobbins on the winding unit 9 forms below the operating path 27. The bobbin change on the winding units of the machine modules 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 is carried out fully automatically by a doffing device 28. The doffing device 28 has for this purpose a plurality of Spulwechselvorrichtung 29, wherein each winding unit 9 is assigned a Spulwechselvorrichtung 29. The Spulwechselvorrichtung 29 cooperate with a Spulentransporteinrichtung 30, through which the coils are discharged. The bobbin transport device 30 is formed in this embodiment by a bobbin holder 47 which is guided on a monorail 48. The bobbin holder 47 can optionally be placed in each case a transfer position immediately in front of the Spulwechselvorrichtungen 29, so that a full bobbin of the Spulwechselvorrichtung 29 can be transferred. The spool changing device 29 is constituted by a turnstile pivot arm system 42 and a magazine magazine 40. Such a system is for example in the German patent application 10 2006 010 855 (not previously published). It is thus explicitly taken at this point reference to the cited document and given at this point no further explanation.

In order to obtain a high degree of flexibility in the use of the spinning-stretch texturing machine, the process units 8 and winding units 9 held on the machine modules 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 are driven and controlled independently of one another. For this purpose, the drive and control electronics of the machine modules 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 are each combined separately in an E-unit 35 and each associated with the machine module 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3. In Fig. 2 the situation for the machine module 5.1 is shown. Here, the E-unit 35 is held on the back of the frame wall 26. The godet drives 31.1, 31.2, 31.3, the roller drive 32 of the cooling drum, the traversing drive 33 of the traversing device 22 and the spindle drives 34.1 and 34.2 of the winding spindles 21.1 and 21.2 and the rotary drive 53 of the spindle carrier 20 are connected to the E-unit 35. Furthermore, even more actuators and sensors can be assigned to the processing units, which are also linked to the E-unit 35. To control the E-unit 35 is assigned a control unit 37 which is coupled to a control panel 36. The control panel 36 is held on the front of the frame wall 26. Thus, all process units can be controlled by an operator via the control panel 36 in their functions. For coordinating all positions within the spin-stretch texturing machine, the control unit 37 is coupled to a master control unit 39, by means of which superordinate control commands and settings can be entered.

It is also possible to connect the control unit 37 wirelessly with an operating device 38. For example, settings and process data or product parameters can be displayed on the operating unit 38. However, it is also possible to specify settings changes or to the processing units and control commands of the control unit 37. For this purpose, the control unit 37 has a remote control module to receive and transmit signals.

At the in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 Spinning-stretch texturing machine shown are the drives and actuators of the spinning device separately controlled and coupled via a central control-control unit 39 to the control unit 37. For this purpose, it is necessary that during a process interruption, for example, by winding the respective machine module 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 associated spinning position 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 can continue to operate without interruption. For this purpose, a thread chipper 12 and a suction nozzle 13 are provided on each machine module 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 respectively in the inlet region. The suction nozzle 13 is coupled to a suction device 49, through which one or more sucked threads can be continuously fed to a waste container. Thus, a break in the extrusion of the threads is not required in process interruption due to a thread break or a winder formation. Thus, the supply of the spinnerets 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, several spin positions can be combined, so that complex distribution systems and additional spin pump units are dispensable. However, it is also possible to control a spinning position independently of adjacent spinning positions, for example in order to be able to set a reduced melt throughput during a process interruption.

This in Fig. 1 and 2 illustrated embodiment of the spin-stretch texturing machine according to the invention is thus particularly suitable for producing a plurality of composite threads parallel to each other with high flexibility from melt spinning to winding up. Here, the choice of held on the machine modules process units in Fig. 1 and 2 only give as an example. In principle, additional treatment steps, such as, for example, pre-whirling of the thread immediately after preparation or alternative treatment stages, such as, for example, multiple stretching without texturing, can be carried out. So it is also possible to execute in a complete system with a variety of machine modules groups of machine modules in different configurations of process units and treatment steps. Thus, different types of thread can be made with a spin-stretch texturing machine.

In Fig. 3 and 4 is a further embodiment of the device according to the invention shown in several views. Here, the spin-stretch texturing machine is in Fig. 3 in a front view and in Fig. 4 in a side view shown. The embodiment according to Fig. 3 and 4 is essentially identical to the embodiment according to Fig. 1 and 2 , so that at this point reference is made to the above description and then only the differences will be explained.

At the in Fig. 3 and 4 illustrated embodiment of the spin-stretch texturing machine according to the invention, the spinning device 1 per spinning position 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 each only one spinneret 2 on. The spinneret 2 of the spinning positions 1.1 and 1.2 and 1.3 are held on the underside of the spinning bar 6 and are supplied via a melt feed 7 with a provided by a melt source polymer melt. The cooling device 3 arranged below the spinning beam 6 and the spinning shafts 4 interacting with the cooling device 3 are identical to the aforementioned embodiment, so that in each case a thread is extruded per spinning position 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 in the spinning device and subsequently to the machine module 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 prepared, stretched, curled, relaxed and wound into a bobbin.

In order to be able to create the thread at the start of the process or after a process interruption to the process units 8 of the machine module 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, a robot 23 is provided. For this purpose, the robot 43 is held on a carrier 44, which is movably coupled to a carrier frame 45. The support frame 45 is held in an upper and lower frame guide 46, which extends at a distance in front of the machine longitudinal side substantially over the entire length of the machine longitudinal side. The support frame 45 can thus be guided on the frame guide 46 along the machine longitudinal side. To start a docking operation on one of the machine modules 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, the support frame 45 is guided to the relevant machine module. Within the machine module, the carrier 44 can be guided with the robot 43 on the carrier frame 45 in the vertical direction, so that the robot 43 with a multi-axis robot arm 52 can execute the application operation on the processing units 8. The robot arm 52 holds this purpose at the free end of a suction nozzle, through which the extruded threads are taken from the spinning device 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 after piecing. Subsequently, the application process is carried out through a robot control to Aufspuleinheit.

Thus, a fully automatic operation of the spin-stretch texturing machine can be realized, wherein the bobbin change and the Spulenabtransport in a lower level by the Doffereinrichtung 28 is executed. The Doffereinrichtung 28 is identical to the aforementioned embodiment according to Fig. 1 and 2 executed.

The operating gear 27 arranged above the doffer device 28 is preferably used in this case for maintenance work on the process unit.

The in the Fig. 1 to 4 illustrated embodiments of the spin-stretch texturing machine according to the invention are exemplary in construction and arrangement of the process units and the winding unit. Essential here is the compact design of the machine modules achieved by the vertically oriented arrangement of the processing units and the winding unit, so that even with a single-thread winding compact machine arrangements can be realized, which combine a simple and easy operation with maximum flexibility. In particular, the failure rates and thus the unavoidable during a production process interruption can be reduced to a minimum, since in a winder formation or a thread break only one spinning position and thus only one thread is affected. So-called sympathy breaks, as they are known for example in conventional spinning devices are completely avoided.

Depending on the nature and the choice of process units hereby also advantageous uncrimped stretched or partially drawn threads can be produced.

In the stretching devices shown in the embodiments, the number and the execution of the godets are basically freely selectable. The design of the stretching device depends on the manufacturing process and on the type of yarn. In addition, the single-thread guide within the machine module and the winding unit leads to a gentle and uniform thread quality, since deflections for merging or spreading, which are usually associated with changes in yarn tension and thus changes in physical properties avoided. It is thus ensured a gentle and uniform production of the threads.
