Abstract
The invention relates to textile machines with several spinning places, whereby each spinning place comprises a can feeding means, a spinning unit, and winding unit. The invention is based on the task to design the spinning places in such a manner, to minimize the downtimes due to failures of machine components, or during re-fitting. According to the invention, such a spinning place is furnished with modularly structured and exchangeable spinning units and or winding units.
Claims32
A textile machine for spinning fiber material into thread, said textile machine comprising:
- a plurality of spinning places with each of said plurality of spinning places including:
- a. a can feeding device configured for receiving of cans having said fiber material disposed therein;
- b. a modularly structured, exchangeable spinning unit positioned proximal to said can feeding device, said spinning unit configured to be removable from said spinning place and interchangeable with other of said modularly structured, exchangeable spinning units;
- and
- c. a winding unit positioned proximal to said spinning unit, said winding unit configured to wind thread being produced by said spinning unit onto a package.
A textile machine for spinning fiber material into thread, said textile machine comprising:
- a plurality of spinning places with each of said plurality of spinning places including:
- a. a can feeding device configured for the receiving of cans having said fiber material disposed therein;
- b. a spinning unit positioned proximal to said can feeding device, said spinning unit configured for receiving said fiber material from said cans and spinning said fiber material into said thread;
- and
- c. a modularly structured, exchangeable winding unit configured to wind said thread produced by said spinning unit positioned proximal to said spinning unit, said winding unit being removable from said spinning place and interchangeable with other of said modularly structured, exchangeable winding units.
A textile machine for spinning fiber material into thread, said textile machine comprising:
- a plurality of spinning places with each of said plurality of spinning places including:
- a. a can feeding device configured for the receiving of cans having said fiber material disposed therein;
- b. a modularly structured, exchangeable spinning unit configured to spin said fiber material into said thread positioned proximal to said can feeding device, said spinning unit configured to be removable from said spinning place and interchangeable with other of said modularly structured, exchangeable spinning units;
- and
- c. a modularly structured, exchangeable winding unit configured for winding said thread produced by said spinning unit positioned proximal to said spinning unit, said winding unit configured to be removable from said spinning place and interchangeable with other of said modularly structured, exchangeable winding units.
An apparatus for use in a spinning place of a textile machine, said apparatus comprising a modularly structured, exchangeable winding unit for winding thread produced within said spinning place, said winding unit being positionable in and removable from said spinning place and said winding unit being interchangeable with other of said modularly structured, exchangeable winding units.
