Fiber guide channel device for an open-end spinning mechanism
View Patent ↗A fiber guide channel device for an open-end spinning mechanism with a fiber guide channel body, for fixation in an opening roller housing and having a receiving opening for a fiber guide channel insert in the region of a fiber guide channel entry defining a central fiber guide channel for pneumatically transporting individual fibers combed by an opening roller from a feed sliver to a high speed spinning rotor in a negative pressure rotor housing. The fiber guide channel body ( 14 ) is configured of a plastics material and the fiber guide channel insert ( 27 ) is manufactured as a sleeve-like annularly-closed component of a highly abrasion-resistant material.
1. A fiber guide channel device for an open-end spinning mechanism comprising a fiber guide channel body, which can be fixed in an opening roller housing and which, in the region of a fiber guide channel entry, has a receiving opening for a fiber guide channel insert defining a central fiber guide channel for pneumatically transporting individual fibers, which are combed by an opening roller from a feed sliver, to a spinning rotor revolving at a high rotational speed in a negative pressure-loadable rotor housing, wherein the fiber guide channel body ( 14 ) is configured of a plastics material and the fiber guide channel insert ( 27 ) is configured of a highly abrasion-resistant material as a sleeve-like component fully closed in its annular extent.
2. A fiber guide channel device according to claim 1 , wherein the fiber guide channel insert ( 27 ) is produced from an industrial ceramic material.
3. A fiber guide channel device according to claim 1 , wherein the fiber guide channel insert ( 27 ) has a fiber guide region ( 28 ), the internal cross-section (A 1 ) of which is matched to the internal cross-section (A) of the fiber guide channel ( 13 ) in the region of the fiber guide channel entry ( 18 ).
4. A fiber guide channel device according to claim 1 , wherein the fiber guide channel insert ( 27 ) has a collar-like attachment piece ( 29 ) with a portion ( 30 ), which, in the operating state of the fiber guide channel device ( 50 ), forms an abrasion-resistant fiber separation edge for the individual fibers combed out by the opening roller ( 21 ).
5. A fiber guide channel device according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving opening ( 15 ) in the fiber guide channel body ( 14 ) has a contact edge ( 39 ) arranged parallel to the rotational axis of the opening roller ( 21 ) in the installed state and a guide groove ( 40 ) is provided, which corresponds with a guide attachment piece on the fiber guide channel insert ( 27 ).
6. A fiber guide channel device according to claim 1 , wherein the central fiber guide channel ( 13 ) has a wear-protected surface within the fiber guide channel body ( 14 ).
