Abstract
A winding station of a textile machine for producing cross-wound bobbins includes a base unit, a cover unit, and a bobbin holder configured to hold the cross-wound bobbin. A traversing device is configured to lay a thread in a crosswise manner on the cross-wound bobbin. A thread finding device is configured to find a thread end on the cross-wound bobbin. The base unit at least partially covers the cover unit, and the cover unit is movable with respect to the base unit between a working position for laying the thread and seeking the thread end and a cleaning position for cleaning the winding station. At least portions of the thread finding device are configured on the cover unit. A method is also provided for operating the winding station.
Claims15
A winding station of a textile machine for producing cross-wound bobbins, comprising:
- a base unit;
- a cover unit configured in a working position on the base unit in an operational state of the winding station where thread is being laid on the cross-wound bobbin;
- a bobbin holder configured to hold the cross-wound bobbin;
- a traversing device configured to lay the thread in a crosswise manner on the cross-wound bobbin;
- a thread seeking device configured to find a thread end on the cross-wound bobbin;
- wherein in the working position, the cover unit at least partially covers the base unit in the operational state of the winding station, and the cover unit is movable with respect to the base unit between the working position for laying the thread and seeking the thread end and a cleaning position for cleaning the winding station;
- and
- wherein at least portions of the thread seeking device are configured on the cover unit.
A method for operating a winding station of a textile machine that produces cross-wound bobbins, the winding station having a base unit and a cover unit, the cover unit configured in a working position on the base unit in an operational state of the winding station when a thread is being laid on the cross-wound bobbin, the method comprising:
- laying the thread in a crosswise manner on the cross-wound bobbin with the aid of a traversing device;
- when necessary, seeking a thread end on the cross-wound bobbin with a thread seeking device;
- cleaning the winding station at intervals of time;
- and
- wherein for the cleaning, the cover unit is moved with respect to the base unit out of the working position into a cleaning position, trash pollutant is removed from the winding station, and the cover unit is moved from the cleaning position back into the working position.
