| (54) | Method of sliver feeding in production of fancy yarn and spinning unit for performing it |
| (57) The method of sliver feeding from staple fibre material in production of fancy yarn
on spindle-less rotor machines with sliver feeding using the feed roller to the stripping
roller, which combs out the individual fibres from the sliver and then the spinning
rotor spins them into yarn, characterised by the fact that in case of each and any
change of the yarn spinning profile there is - on a short term basis in the time interval
of 0,01 - 0,9 second - suddenly increased in at least 10% above the operation speed
of sliver feeding, while the section of the sliver fed in accelerated speed is separated
from sections spun by operation speed in at least one location - at the beginning
or in the end by reversing the sliver feeding on the basis of speed exceeding the
operation speed of feeding. The spinning unit of the spindle-less spinner for performing the method, including an independently driven feed roller, has got a driving unit (11) of the feed roller (3) drive connected with the sensor (10) of the yarn (13) break and a programmable control unit (12). |
