detaching roller for a combing machine

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a detaching roller for a combing machine for textile processing.

[0002] On a fibre processing line for the production of a yarn, after the initial phases of opening and cleaning, the fibre carding is performed by carding machines after which the fibre appears in the form of a web.

[0003] After processing by a lap winder where necessary, during which various separate webs are combined to form a lap, the web or lap is combed by a combing machine so as to produce a web in which the fibres are extremely parallel and clean.

[0004] The basic combing operations, which in the more recently designed machines, occur at a rate of 450 - 500 strokes a minute, are:

• intermittent feeding of the lap;
• combing, by a rotary comb, of the head of the incoming tuft, held still by two jaws;
• overlapping and joining of the head of the tuft to the lap already combed in the previous cycle, moved back as needed, by tearing rollers as they rotate backwards;
• combing of the tail by a rectilinear comb;
• advancement of the combed tuft by the tearing rollers as they rotate forwards.

[0005] The processing is thus alternate and the stress on the moving parts, subject to continuous stopping and starting, is a critical factor in the design of combing machines.

[0006] In particular, the tearing rollers are subject to acceleration peaks to the order of tens of thousands of rad/s² and their stopping and starting is particularly wearing on the drive and command devices of the machine.

[0007] Usually, the motorised detaching roller, positioned at the bottom, has a scored surface and is made from a metal material; at the top rather an idle rubber pressure roller is positioned.

[0008] To simplify the combing machine, the motorised tearing rollers are joined to form a single bar, driven by a single drive mechanism. One therefore sees a multiplication of the inertial load which the single drive mechanism finds itself having to contrast.

[0009] Some of the prior solutions use hollow tearing rollers made from aluminium or other lightweight alloys to reduce the inertial load. Such a detaching roller is described in the document EP-A1-1726692 in the name of the Applicant.

[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to make a detaching roller for a combing machine which overcomes the problems described above even more effectively.

[0011] Such purpose is achieved by a detaching roller made according to claim 1. The dependent claims describe embodiment variations.

[0060] For example, one of said ends 110 is female, that is has an internal cavity 112, and the other end 110 is male, for coupling to a further detaching roller, axially flanking it, to form a bar.

[0061] According to a preferred embodiment, in addition the detaching roller 100 comprises a bush 120, coupled to one of the lateral ends 110 to support the detaching roller in rotation.

[0062] For example, the bush 120 is in metal material, for example in steel, for example of the type C48 (according to standard UNI 7847), surface hardened, for example induction tempered.

[0063] According to a further example, the bush 120 is made from tempered and hardened steel 100Cr6.

[0064] According to a preferred embodiment, the bush is glued to the extremity of the active portion 102 or to the lateral end 110 (figure 2).

[0065] The end 110 thereby comprises a support section 113 destined to support the bush 110; said support section 113 presents a processed surface furnished, for example with peaks and valleys, to facilitate the action of the adhesive (figure 3).

[0066] For example, the surface is processed so as to form a plurality of circumferential ridges 114 positioned in axial succession, so that the glue positions itself in the valleys between them.

[0067] According to one embodiment variation, the bush 120 is screwed to the extremity of the active portion 102 or to the lateral end 110.

[0068] According to a further embodiment, the bush is fitted to the extremity of the active portion 102 or to the lateral end 110.

[0069] According to yet a further embodiment, the bush is applied to the extremity of the active portion 102 or to the lateral end 110 and subsequently subjected to a further finishing process together with it to ensure that it is coaxial with the active portion of the detaching roller.

[0070] According to one embodiment, the roller has a male end 130 and a female end 140.

[0071] Preferably, the male end 130, has in succession, from the extremity towards the inner part of the roller, a threaded section 132, a relief groove 134 for the threading and a guide section 136, terminating before the bush 120.

[0072] Preferably, the threaded section 132 and the relief groove 134 are subjected to mechanical processing to create a state of generalised compression, and improve the resistance of the part.

[0073] For example, the threaded section 132 and the relief groove 134 are subjected to shot blasting to improve fatigue resistance as per UNI 5394-72 (e.g. with shots 63/125 µm, intensity Almen 4.5N degrees and 100% cover) or by cold lamination with plastic deformation of the material (rolling).

[0074] The female end 140 has an inner cavity 142, containing, from the outside inwards, a guide section 144, a relief groove 146 and a threaded section 148.

[0075] Preferably, the threaded section 148 is subjected to mechanical processing to create a state of generalised compression to improve the fatigue resistance of the part.

[0076] For example, the threaded section 148 is made by cold lamination with plastic deformation of the material (rolling).

[0077] According to a preferred embodiment, both ends 110 are female, in other words both present an internal cavity 142 (figure 4).

[0078] According to such embodiment, to form a bar 200 composed of a plurality of tearing rollers 100 in axial succession joined to each other, a hub 210 is provided, inserted at one extremity and at the other in the cavity 142 of the two rollers 100.

[0079] For example, the hub 210 is screwed to the extremity in the cavities 142 of the tearing rollers.

[0080] Preferably, the hub 210 is made from a material presenting greater resistance, for example resistance to fatigue or resistance to breakage, than the material which the active portion 102 is made from.

[0081] For example, the hub 210 is made from steel, for example a special steel, for example 42CrMo4S steel (as per UNI EN 10277-4).

[0082] For example , the hub 210 is made from steel having a tensile strength (Rm) of 600 - 1300 MPa, preferably 1000 - 1200 MPa; for example the hub 210 is made from steel with a proportionality deviation limit (Rp0.2) of 700 - 800 MPa, preferably 750 MPa.

[0083] Preferably the hub 210 has, in succession from the extremity inwards, a threaded section, a relief groove for the threading and a guide section, in which the threaded section and the relief groove are subjected to mechanical processing to create a state of generalised compression, for example, shot blasting, or are made by cold lamination with plastic deformation (rolling).

[0084] Preferably, the hub 210 comprises a support section 212, between the extremities of the two tearing rollers 100, which supports the bush 120.

[0085] Innovatively, the detaching roller described above makes it possible to considerably reduce the inertial load, with a significant reduction of the power required to operate the combing machine and of the vibratory phenomena.

[0086] Furthermore, the active solid portion makes it possible to perform a simplified manufacturing process.

[0087] Furthermore, advantageously, the bushes applied ensure improved reliability, resisting wear from rolling.

[0088] According to a further advantageous aspect, the hardening treatments are performed on the active portion already formed, thereby avoiding complicated processing.

[0089] According to yet a further advantageous aspect, the thermal treatments are performed on the coatings so as not to jeopardise the mechanical properties of the base material and the thermal treatment applied to it, for example so as not to jeopardise the properties of the treated T6 alloy AW 7075.

[0090] It is clear that a person skilled in the art may make modifications to the detaching roller described above so as to satisfy specific requirements.
