The present invention provides a device for producing large quantities of high-quality threads, wherein the device is capable of controlling the quality of the individual threads produced thereby. In particular, the thickness of the thread is monitored in such a way that when the thread is too thick, that is to say above a second predetermined threshold value, the thread cannot be wound onto the bobbin. When one or more cocoon filaments break, the winding speed of the thread becomes zero until new cocoon filaments are incorporated into the thread. When the thread is too thin (that is to say less than a first predetermined threshold), the yarn winding speed is reduced, and if the thread remains too thin for a predetermined period of time, the winding speed is further reduced. If the thread is still too thin for another predetermined period of time, the winding operation will stop. By controlling the quality of each silk thread, the device can utilize cocoon threads of different qualities and types to produce silk threads.

The present invention provides a device with an almost tension-free winding station that allows winding of the wire at speeds in excess of 250 m/min.

The invention provides a device for the production of thread in which the different steps of thread production are synchronized in such a way that the performance of the device can be optimized. In particular, the feeding speed of the silk cocoons into the cooking unit, the temperature of the water in the cooking unit, the time for the silk cocoons to stay in the cooking unit, the rotation speed of a large number of brushes are all related to the winding of the cocoons in the device. The speed is synchronized, wherein the brush is configured to be able to discern the end of a cocoon thread and grasp the cocoon thread end.

Thus, the bobbin 205 can be pulled out of the winding station and quickly placed in the winding station without interrupting the rotational movement of the belt 206 and the grooved drive roller 203 .

Referring to accompanying drawing 30, thread drying unit 210 is made up of a thread drying heating element 211 and a drying motor 212, wherein said thread drying heating element 211 faces bobbin 205, and said drying motor 212 is used to force air to dry from the thread. Element 211 flows to bobbin 205 . When the thread is wound on the bobbin 205 , the drying heating element 211 starts to work under the action of the DRY_1 signal from the control unit 280 .

The control unit 280 is used to control the production process of the thread, it is able to receive information about the parameters of the thread production process and adjust them to an optimum level. In particular, the control unit is able to control the thickness of the wires and to bring the different elements of the device into synchronous operation. The control unit 280 includes a central processing unit and multiple input/output interfaces. These input/output interactive interfaces are suitable for receiving and sending out control signals, such as multiple THIN_j signals from multiple (N1) cocoon thread thickness monitors, where 0<j<=N1, from multiple (N1) Multiple THICK_j signals from the parametric flaw detector, multiple WSM_SPEED_j and WSM_SPEED_j* signals from multiple (N1) winding station motors and multiple (N1) winding station motor monitors, and signals for the device Various signals to control the speed of different motors.

The control unit 280 is used to receive the data representing the radial speed of multiple winding stations, and adjust the feeding state of the silk cocoons from the soaking unit 260, the time of staying in the cooking unit 60 and the hot water in the cooking unit 60 accordingly. The temperature of the cocoon thread catching station 90, the rotary motion and the gradual displacement of the hair brush 901, the rotary motion of the flocculation collector 100 and the linear conveyor belt 120, the rotary motion of the cocoon thread guide shaft 120, and Rotational movement of the sawtooth carousel 130 and carousel catcher 150.

When it is necessary to add cocoon silk to the thread, the control unit 280 will operate the push rod, and speed up or slow down the winding operation according to the thickness of the thread.

For example, when the control unit 280 receives the THICK_1 signal from the arm position detector 174 of the defect detector, it will send a control signal WSM_SPEED_1 to the winding station motor 207 indicating that the winding station motor must be stopped to stop the winding operation. Winding operation of wire at station 200.

The thickness monitor arm position detector 185 will send a THIN_1 signal to the control unit 280 when the thread becomes too thin (for example, when one or more cocoon threads are broken or used up). Continue sending THIN_1 signals until the thickness of the thread is restored. When the control unit receives the THIN_1 signal, the control unit will send a WSM_SPEED_1 signal to the winding station motor 207 to reduce the winding speed of the wire, so as to avoid the length of the too thin part of the wire being too long. The control unit 280 will also send a PUSH_1 signal to the push rod 160 in order to catch new cocoon threads to incorporate them into the thread. If the cocoon thread is not caught within the predetermined time, the control unit 280 will send a WSM_SPEED_1 signal to further reduce the winding speed of the thread. When the silk thread suddenly thickens, the control unit 280 will completely stop the winding station motor 207 . After the wire returns to the desired thickness, the THIN_1 signal is no longer generated and the winding speed of the wire will return to the optimum working condition.

A control panel 270 is attached to the upper portion of the base 2011 of the winding station. The control panel 270 has a display screen and a simple keyboard and allows setting of process parameters such as first and second thresholds in each cocoon processing unit. The control panel 270 allows a large number of instructions to be input to the control unit 280 , such as determining the maximum winding speed in the winding station, maintaining the current winding speed, or using the control unit 280 to adjust the winding speed.

The device proposed in the present invention works in the following way:

The silk cocoons that fall from the outlet 261 of the soaking unit under the action of gravity are sent into the cooking unit 60 by the soaking unit 260, and the silk cocoons are fed to the steaming unit via the silk cocoon chamber 616 and the cooking unit inlet 610. On the silk cocoon cooking unit bracket on the belt 631. These silk cocoons are transported to the silk cocoon outlet 611 along an elliptical path passing through the hot water in the cooking unit 60 , and then supplied to the silk cocoon sorting unit 70 . During the passage of the silk cocoons through the cooking unit 60, the silk cocoons are heated and water is poured thereinto to remove a portion of the silk cocoons sericin from the silk cocoons.

The silk cocoons are discharged from the cooking unit 60 and fall under the force of gravity near a revealing position EP where the sorting unit crossbar 71 emerges from the water in the tank 250 . Under the action of the sorting unit cross bar 71 , the silk cocoon crosses the second sorting unit rotating shaft 75 along an inclined straight path from the revealing position EP, and is sent into the cocoon silk catching unit 90 . While the cocoons are being transported, they are rinsed with relatively cool water from the cocoon shower 77 . Silk cocoons narrower than CSU1 fall from between the parallel bars of the sorting unit 70 into the middle unit 80 .

The silk cocoons fed into the cocoon thread catching unit 90 are usually submerged in water with their upper ends close to the surface of the water. The brushes 901 come into contact with the upper part of the cocoons, forcing them to move in the annular channel 99 and stick to the brushes in contact with the cocoons. The brush 901 is configured so as not to damage the silk cocoons while being in contact with the silk cocoons.

The sericin still remaining in the silk cocoon helps the cocoon thread to adhere to the hair brush in the cocoon thread finding station 90 . The reciprocating and rotating motion of these hair brushes will make the silk cocoons in contact with these hair brushes stay in the annular channel 99 for a relatively long time, and will force the silk cocoons to move from one hair brush to another, improving the cocoon silk The possibility of the end being found and caught.

The cocoons that are discharged from the cocoon filament seeking station 90 and whose cocoon filaments are not caught by any of the brushes are forced to move through the conveying section 258 and the circular channel 256, and arrive in the cocoon sorting unit 70 .

Those silk cocoons whose cocoon threads are caught by a brush in the cocoon thread catching station 90 remain in the water in the conveying section 258 while their cocoon thread ends are supported by a catching device. The arm is fed into the filling station 100, and the arm of the catching device rises and falls under the action of the curved guide rail 94 in such a way that the end of the cocoon thread can be reliably caught by the filling collector 100 . The sericin still left in the silk cocoon helps the wadding collector 100 to catch the end of the cocoon thread reliably. The cocoon vibrating bar is used to prevent those cocoons on which the cocoons are wound onto the wadding collector 100 from sticking to the cocoon vibrating bar and to prevent said cocoons from being pulled to the wadding collector 100 in.

Cocoon threads and corresponding silk cocoons are conveyed along the linear conveying station 109, at the same time, dust is removed, tangled cocoon threads are untied or removed, so that when the silk cocoons reach the end of the linear conveying station 109 , provide a continuous cocoon silk. Before reaching said end, the end of the cocoon thread is cut with a cocoon thread cutting device 104 . The smooth sloping rod 103 prevents the cocoon thread being conveyed towards the thread guiding shaft from being forced to move in the opposite direction.

The cocoon thread guide shaft 120 is used to receive a single cocoon thread and place the cocoon thread in the path of the sawtooth carousel conveyor 130 and the carousel catcher 130 so that the cocoon thread is caught by the arm of the carousel catcher live and is wound on a turntable catch cylinder. Both the serrated disc conveyor 130 and the turntable catcher rotate clockwise, forcing the cocoon threads and corresponding silk cocoons to rotate clockwise until the cocoon threads are fed into the cocoon thread processing stations located around the middle pole 230 One.

Cocoon thread is fed into a cocoon processing station by means of a push rod which is in contact with the cocoon thread and feeds it into an intermediate cocoon thread catcher located in front of the pneumatically driven push rod. For ease of description, it is assumed that cocoon threads are fed into cocoon thread processing station 300 .

Generally, the cocoon thread processing station 300 is formed by guiding at least one cocoon thread through the intermediate cocoon thread catcher 140, the thread defect detector 170, the thread thickness monitor 180, the thread twisting and guiding unit 190 and the winding unit 200. start working. After starting to work, each cocoon thread sent into the middle cocoon thread catching unit 140 will adhere to other cocoon threads previously sent into the middle cocoon thread catching unit 140, and together with these cocoon threads Pass through the various elements in the cocoon thread processing station 300 .

The end of the cocoon thread passes through the middle catcher groove 144 and through the thread defect detector 170, if the thread is too thick a THICK_1 signal will be sent and if so the winding operation will be stopped.

As long as the thread is not too thick, the cocoons forming the thread pass through the twisting and guiding unit 190 where they are twisted and forced to swing back and forth in order to remove some of the absorbed moisture from the cocoons Lose.

The wire passes through a wire thickness monitor 180 which is used to sense when the wire is too thin. If a thread is too thin, a THIN_1 signal is sent to the control unit 280, which operates the pneumatically driven pusher 160 in order to catch new cocoon threads and incorporate them into the thin thread . The winding speed of the wire continues to decrease until the wire has sufficient thickness, and at the same time the winding speed will return to the optimal working condition. If the wire does not thicken within a predetermined period of time, the winding speed may be further reduced.

From the wire gauge monitor, the wire is fed into the winding station 200 and passed through the wire guide slot 2022 onto the bobbin 205 . The rotational speed of the bobbin 205 is controlled by the control unit 280 . During the winding operation, the thread drying unit 210 dries the thread wound onto the bobbin 205 .
