Abstract
A cop and bobbin conveying system including a cop feeding lines and bobbin ejecting lines which are interconnecting fine spinning frames and a winder. The cops and bobbins are conveyed by carrier members on which they are fitted and carried. A bobbin supplying device for supplying a bobbin on an empty carrier member is provided at the intermediate portion of the bobbin ejecting line.
Claims9
A bobbin conveying system of a type having carrier members with bobbins and carrier members without bobbins wherein said system comprises:
- spinning frames for forming cops;
- a winder for winding yarn from cops;
- a closed loop of cop feeding lines and bobbin ejecting lines directly interconnecting said spinning frames and said winder, wherein cops and bobbins which are transported and circulated through said closed loop are fitted on carrier members, wherein carrier members fitted with cops thereon are transported from said spinning frames to said winder and carrier members fitted with bobbins thereon are transported from said winder to said spinning frames;
- and
- a bobbin supplying device, located downstream from said winder along said bobbin ejecting line, said bobbin supplying device including a discrimination means for sensing whether or not said carrier members which are transported from said winder to said bobbin supplying device have a bobbin thereon and means responsive to said discriminating means for supplying a bobbin to a carrier member which does not have a bobbin thereon.
A bobbin supplying device for supplying a bobbin to a carrier member which is a disk-like tray for supporting and carrying a cop or a bobbin to be erected thereon, said carrier member being circulated and transported along a line comprising:
- a bobbin hopper to store a plurality of bobbins therein, said bobbin hopper having a discharging passage through which said bobbins may pass;
- a bobbin ejecting device, located below said discharging passage for receiving a bobbin from said bobbin hopper and releasing said bobbins one by one;
- a bobbin fitting device, located below said bobbin ejecting device, for receiving said bobbin from said bobbin ejecting device and fitting said bobbin on said carrier member;
- and
- a discrimination means for sensing whether or not said carrier members moving along said line have a bobbin thereon, wherein said bobbin supplying device supplies bobbins to carrier members which do not have a bobbin.
