Abstract
A device for winding up yarns on bobbins is described. The empty bobbins are driven by means of a friction roll via their surface, that is, via the winding with proceeding windup operation. The yarn is traversed over the complete length of the winding on the bobbin by means of a traversing device, and it has been observed that the winding is thicker at the points of reverse travel of the traversing device than in the central section of the winding, and that the yarn sections at these points of reverse travel are subjected to a heavy mechanical strain by the friction roll. This strain is avoided by decreasing the diameter of the empty bobbin relative to the center of the empty bobbin in the vicinity of reverse travel of the traversing device.
Claims1
A device for winding up yarns on empty bobbins which comprises an empty bobbin rotating on a clamping device, a friction roll contacting the surface of the empty bobbin, a traversing device for the yarn to be wound up, the diameter of the empty bobbin decreasing relative to the center of the empty bobbin in the vicinity of reverse travel of the traversing device, the empty bobbin diameters and the length of the empty bobbin and the winding on the bobbin corresponding to the following unbalanced equations:
- ##EQU3## where l.sub.1 is the length of the winding on the bobbin,
- m.sub.2 is the smallest distance between the sections of the smallest bobbin tube diameter at the points of reverse travel of the traversing device,
- m.sub.3 is the length of the section of unchanged diameter in the center of the empty bobbin between the two sections of decreasing empty bobbin diameter
- e.sub.1 is the empty bobbin diameter at the point of reverse travel, and
- e.sub.2 is the maximum empty bobbin diameter between the points of reverse travel of the traversing device, and
- both ends of the empty bobbin being provided with starter rings the diameter e.sub.3 of which exceeds the diameter e.sub.2 by less than 2mm, preferably less than 1.4 mm.
