Abstract
A winding machine comprising a traversing mechanism, a yarn-contact roller acting as a measuring and/or drive roller and adapted to be brought into contact with the winding tube or bobbin, and a bobbin revolver which is adapted to be rotated and locked in position and on which are mounted for rotation at least two tube chucks which are alternately brought into friction contact with the contact roller in a bobbin-changing position.
Claims22
A winding machine comprising a traversing system, a first contact roller, a second contact roller laterally spaced from said first contact roller, the respective axes of rotation of said rollers being substantially parallel and laterally spaced, each roller being adapted to be brought into friction contact with the periphery of a winding tube or package, a rotatable bobbin revolver on which are rotatably mounted at least two tube chucks which are orbited by said revolver alternately to bring an empty tube or a winding package thereon into friction contact with a contact roller and into a bobbin changing or rest position, a drive system for each of the contact rollers, said revolver and chucks being arranged so that a substantially full winding is kept in its friction contact with the first rotating contact roller while, at the same time, another chuck or an empty tube mounted on it is moved into friction contact with the second rotating contact roller and means for transferring filament being wound on said package to the rotating empty tube after the peripheral velocity of said empty tube or its chuck has been accelerated by friction contact thereof with said second contact roller to the peripheral velocity of said second contact roller and while said substantially full winding package is still in friction drive contact with said first contact roller.
A winding machine comprising a traversing system, first and second, laterally spaced, contact rollers adapted to be brought into friction contact with the periphery of a winding tube or package, a rotatable bobbin revolver on which are rotatably mounted at least two tube chucks which are orbited by said revolver alternately to bring an empty tube or a winding package thereon into friction contact with a contact roller and into a bobbin changing or rest position, a drive system for each of said contact rollers, said revolver and chucks being arranged so that a substantially full winding package on one chuck is kept in its friction contact with the first contact roller while, at the same time another chuck or an empty tube mounted on it is moved into friction contact with the second contact roller, the contact rollers being carried by a substantially vertically displaceable carriage, and means associated with the bobbin revolver on the one hand and with the machine frame on the other hand and operable under the adjustable effect of a power store in such a way that a peripheral force offsetting at least some of the weight of the full package is applied to the bobbin revolver when a full package and an empty tube are simultanesouly in contact with the contact rollers.
A winding machine comprising a filament traversing system, a first contact roller, a second contact roller laterally spaced from said first contact roller, the respective axes of rotation of said rollers being substantially parallel and laterally spaced, the second contact roller being a component of said filament traversing system and being a grooved roller with endless filament guide grooves in the roller's surface, each roller adapted to be brought into friction contact with the periphery of a winding tube or package, a drive system for each of the contact rollers, at least two tube chucks, shiftable means associated with said tube chucks to bring an empty tube or winding package thereon alternately into friction contact with a contact roller and into a bobbin changing or rest position, and said means and chucks being arranged so that a substantially full winding package on one chuck is kept in its friction contact with the first contact roller while, at the same time, another chuck or an empty tube mounted on it is moved into friction contact with the second contact roller to cause said empty tube and its chuck to rotate.
A winding machine comprising a filament traversing system, a first contact roller, a second contact roller laterally spaced from said first contact roller, the respective axes of rotation of said rollers being substantially parallel and laterally spaced, each roller adapted to be brought into friction contact with the periphery of a winding tube or package, at least two tube chucks, separate, variable speed drive motors respectively coupled to each chuck, shiftable means associated with said tube chucks to move each chuck successively into a start-up position with contact between said chuck or an empty winding tube mounted thereon and said second contact roller, then into winding position with contact between the winding on said chuck and said first contact roller, and then into a bobbin changing or rest position, said means and chucks being arranged so that a substantially full winding package on one chuck is kept in its friction contact with the first contact roller while, at the same time, another chuck or an empty tube mounted on it is moved into friction contact with the second contact roller and at least said first contact roller being driven in contact with the rotating winding at the same peripheral speed as that of the winding's periphery, said shiftable means being a bobbin revolver having said chucks mounted thereon for orbital movement as said revolver rotates, drive means for rotating said revolver, said drive means being inoperative, and said revolver being rotatable, when the winding package on said one chuck is in friction contact with said first roller and the other chuck or said empty tube mounted thereon is in friction contact with said second contact roller, and a motor speed regulating system operatively connecting said first contact roller and each variable speed motor when its chuck is in the winding position for regulating the speed of the motor in response to changes in the diameter and peripheral speed of the winding package as its diameter increases.
