Abstract
With a process and a device full cans taken from the storage device for the storage of cans are replaced by empty cans. The storage device is displaced for the reception and the removal of the can. As required, an empty can holding space, an empty can, or a full can is brought to a can grasping device. The device is a carriage with a storage device. Empty or full cans are arranged on the carriage in such manner that the empty cans are deposited at one end of the carriage. The full cans are deposited at the other end of the carriage.
Claims28
A process for storage of textile cans in a storage device at a textile machine which is supplied with empty cans from the storage device and from which full cans are conveyed to the storage device, the storage device having a longitudinal length for storing adjacently disposed cans, said process comprising providing a can grasping device adjacent to the storage device, the can grasping device being stationary relative to the storage device;
- moving a can conveying vehicle to a stationary position adjacent the storage device;
- and replacing full cans on the storage device with empty cans with the stationary can grasping device by selectively displacing the storage device longitudinally relative to the stationary grasping device and conveying vehicle in a series of predetermined steps so that either one of an empty can holding space, an empty can, or a full can on the storage device is brought to the can grasping device at any given step by movement of the storage device.
A process for storage and removal of a row of textile cans with a storage device operably disposed adjacent to a can filling textile machine, the row of cans containing any combination of full and empty cans, said process comprising defining a first empty can holding position within the row of cans on the storage device;
- moving a can conveying vehicle into a stationary position adjacent the storage device;
- transferring an empty can from the conveying vehicle to the first empty can holding position;
- transferring a full can from the storage device to a Can accepting position on the conveying vehicle thereby defining a second empty can holding position on the storage device;
- displacing the storage device relative the conveying vehicle so that the second empty can holding position is at the same position relative the conveying vehicle as was the first empty can holding position for a subsequent can transfer.
A process for storage and removal of a row of textile cans with a storage device operably disposed adjacent to a can filling textile machine, the row of cans containing any combination of full and empty cans, said process comprising moving a can conveying vehicle into a position adjacent to the storage device, the can conveying vehicle having an empty position for receiving a full can from the storage device and an empty can for transferring to the storage device;
- transferring a full can from the storage device to the empty position of the can conveying vehicle thereby defining an empty can holding space on the storage device;
- shifting either of the storage device or can conveying vehicle by one can position so that the empty can on the can conveying vehicle is across from the empty can holding space on the storage device;
- transferring the empty can from the can conveying vehicle to the empty can holding space;
- and if the storage device was previously shifted so that the empty can on the conveying vehicle was across from the empty can holding space, displacing the storage device by one can position in a direction opposite to its previous shifting displacement.
A process for storage and removal of a row of textile cans with a storage device operably disposed adjacent to a can filling textile machine, the row of cans containing any combination of full and empty cans and at least a first empty can holding position within the row of cans on the storage device;
- said process comprising moving a can conveying vehicle into a position adjacent the storage device;
- displacing the storage device longitudinally by one can position so that the first empty can holding position on the storage device is across from an empty can on the can conveying vehicle;
- transferring an empty can from the can conveying vehicle to the first empty can holding position on the storage device;
- and transferring a full can from the storage device to a can accepting position on the can conveying vehicle.
A device for storage of textile cans at a can filling textile machine, said device comprising a storage device disposed adjacent said textile machine, said storage device having an overall length for storage of adjacently disposed cans, said storage device further comprising a movable carriage configured to move in either longitudinal direction relative the length of said storage device;
- a stop defined in the area of movement of said carriage;
- and a movable can conveying vehicle disposed to travel alongside said carriage to a predetermined position defined by said stop for transfer of full or empty cans with said carriage;
- said carriage configured to move in either longitudinal direction relative said stopped vehicle for exchange of cans therewith.
The device as in claim 19, wherein said carriage further comprises an empty can holding space defined between said empty and full cans.
