Joining method on a jet spinning machine, spinning device and jet spinning machine
View Patent ↗A joining method wherein fibers of a fiber band are wound around an auxiliary thread threaded into a spinning device and drawn through a spinning cone. The newly spun thread is separated from the auxiliary thread and connected to the end of an upper thread. A spinning device is provided for a jet spinning machine for carrying out such method, comprising a first clamping device for temporary clamping of the upper thread and a second clamping device for temporary clamping of the auxiliary thread. A jet spinning machine for carrying out the method has a mechanism for storing the auxiliary thread and the newly spun thread, a mechanism for separating the auxiliary thread from the newly spun thread, and a splicing mechanism for connecting the newly spun thread to the upper thread, all arranged only on at least one operating carriage displaceable along multiple spinning stations.
1. Joining method on a spinning device of a jet spinning machine ( 1 ),
wherein a fibre band ( 14 ) drawn to yarn thickness is supplied by a drawing frame ( 4 ) to the spinning device ( 5 ), between an input-side mechanical twist retaining mechanism ( 54 ) and a spinning cone ( 25 ), a rotational flow is produced by a spinning nozzle mechanism, which collects fibres forming free fibre ends and winds them producing a true twist around fibres which do not take part in the rotation and are already incorporated, and the thread ( 26 ) thus formed from the fibre band ( 14 ) is drawn through the hollow spinning cone ( 25 ),
wherein, for joining, an auxiliary thread ( 30 ) is used, which is firstly threaded by its free end into the spinning device ( 5 ) and drawn through the spinning cone ( 25 ),
wherein joining then takes place on the continuous auxiliary thread ( 30 ) not taking part in the torsion, in that the fibres of the fibre band ( 14 ) are fed onto the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) and wound around it, and
wherein the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) being subjected to the withdrawal is guided off and after passing the auxiliary thread end, the newly spun thread ( 26 ), which is free of auxiliary thread, is separated and connected to the end of the upper thread ( 38 ) by a knot or a splice.
2. Joining method according to claim 1 , characterised in that the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) differs from the thread ( 26 ) with regard to its properties.
3. Joining method according to claim 2 , characterised in that the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) is stiffer than the thread ( 26 ).
4. Joining method according to claim 2 or 3 , characterised in that the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) is smoother than the thread ( 26 ).
5. Joining method according to claim 1 , characterised in that auxiliary thread ( 30 ) is introduced into the spinning device ( 5 ) counter to the normal thread running direction during the spinning operation, before joining takes place.
6. Joining method according to claim 1 , characterised in that the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) is introduced into the spinning device ( 5 ) in the normal thread running direction during spinning operation, before joining takes place.
7. Joining method according to claim 6 , characterised in that the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) is introduced into the spinning device ( 5 ) in two stages.
8. Joining method according to claim 7 , characterised in that, in a first stage, the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) is introduced into the fibre band channel ( 33 ) prior to the spinning nozzle mechanism ( 19 ) by means of the injector flow, and in a second stage, the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) is introduced into the spinning cone ( 25 ) by means of acting on the spinning cone ( 25 ) by means of reduced pressure and in that the spinning nozzle mechanism ( 19 ) and the spinning cone ( 25 ) are temporarily positioned for the introduction of the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) so far apart from one another that the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) can be manually grasped between the spinning nozzle mechanism ( 19 ) and the spinning cone ( 25 ).
9. Joining method according to claim 1 , characterised in that during joining, a joining speed is adjusted, which is less than the speed during normal spinning operation.
10. Spinning device on a jet spinning machine for carrying out a joining method, comprising a spinning nozzle mechanism ( 19 ) for producing an injector flow and a spinning cone ( 25 ) for thread formation, characterised in that a first clamping device ( 40 , 48 ) for temporary clamping of an upper thread and a second clamping device ( 42 , 52 ) for temporary clamping of an auxiliary thread ( 30 ) are associated with the spinning device ( 5 ).
11. Spinning device according to claim 10 , characterised in that the second clamping device ( 52 ) is configured as a transporting means for conveying the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) and the newly spun thread ( 26 ) which then follows.
12. Spinning device according to claim 10 or 11 , characterised in that at least one storage mechanism for storing the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) and the newly spun thread ( 26 ), a separating device for separating the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) from the thread ( 26 ) and a splicing mechanism ( 47 ) for connecting the newly spun thread ( 26 ) to the upper thread ( 38 ) are associated with the spinning device ( 5 ).
13. Jet spinning machine with spinning stations arranged next to one another in a row for carrying out a joining method, characterised in that a storage mechanism for storing an auxiliary thread ( 30 ) and a newly spun thread ( 26 ), a separating mechanism for separating the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) from the newly spun thread ( 26 ) and a splicing mechanism ( 39 ) for connecting the newly spun thread ( 26 ) to an upper thread ( 38 ) are arranged only on at least one operating carriage ( 10 ) which can be displaced along the spinning stations ( 2 ).
14. Jet spinning machine according to claim 13 , characterised in that at least one clamping mechanism ( 42 ) for temporary clamping of the auxiliary thread ( 30 ) is arranged on the operating carriage ( 10 ).
