The invention relates to a method for supplying cross-winding devices (4) of a spinning-mill machine (1) with sleeves (9) and a corresponding spinning-mill machine (1), whereas a multiple number of cross-winding devices (4) is arranged next to each other and on two machine sides located in the longitudinal direction of the spinning-mill machine (1). Yarn is wound on sleeves (9) at the cross-winding devices (4), whereas empty sleeves (9) are stockpiled in at least one sleeve stack (7.1 to 7.4). With a sleeve transport device (6, 6.1 bis 6.4) arranged along the cross-winding devices (4), the cross-winding devices (4) are supplied with empty sleeves (9) from the sleeve stack (7.1 to 7.4), whereas the sleeve transport device (6, 6.1 to 6.4) features a continuous entraining element, in particular a conveyor belt, which is moved along the multiple number of cross-winding devices (4). A multiple number of transport carriages (8) are provided for receiving a respective sleeve (9), whereas the transport carriages (8) are transported by means of the continuous entraining element, in order to bring the sleeves (9) to the cross-winding devices (4). Various types of sleeves (9) are stockpiled, and each cross-winding device (4) is allocated with with a predetermined type of sleeve (9). The type of sleeve (9) is detected and, together with the transport carriages (8), the sleeve (9) is supplied to the cross-winding device (4) allocated to it.

A method is performed at a spinning machine that includes a plurality of spinning stations at which different yarn lots are spun. The method transports tubes from multiple tube magazines to the spinning stations. At the spinning station, a yarn is spun from a sliver deposited in a can and is wound onto the tube. An identical marking associated with a respective one of the different yarn lots is provided on the following components: each of the tubes, each of the tube magazines, a display device at the spinning station, a monitor at a machine control system, the cans at the spinning station, and a service unit that travels alongside of the spinning stations.

Provided is a control method, an electronic device and a storage medium. The method comprises: when determining that a yarn spindle transported on a transport channel enters a detection area, detecting the yarn spindle located in the detection area to obtain an appearance feature of the detected yarn spindle; wherein the transport channel is a channel for transporting yarn spindles in an automatic packaging workshop; and the detection area is at least a partial area on the transport channel; when the appearance feature of the detected yarn spindle does not meet a first preset requirement, determining the yarn spindle with the appearance feature not meeting the first preset requirement as a target yarn spindle; and detecting a physical attribute feature of the target yarn spindle.

Provided is a yarn spindle coding method including: when determining that yarn spindles are fully wound, sleeving the yarn spindles in the winding machine sequentially outside a yarn connecting rod of a doffer, and updating the number of unloading times of the winding machine and recording first doffing time of each yarn spindle; generating a first information code of each yarn spindle based on identification information of the winding machine, the updated number of unloading times, the first doffing time and position information of each yarn spindle; and sending each first information code to the doffer, so that the doffer determines a corresponding target yarn spindle among the yarn spindles according to a matching degree between the first doffing time and second doffing time of each yarn spindle recorded by the doffer and code the information code on a corresponding target yarn spindle.

A creel assembly having an outer wall defines an interior space, a plurality of yarn package engagement locations distributed within the interior space, a gantry that is movable secured within the interior space, and at least one processor. The gantry is positioned to selectively engage yarn packages within the interior space. In use, the gantry can selectively access the plurality of yarn package engagement locations. The processor is communicatively coupled to the gantry and receives an input corresponding to a selected action by the gantry. Modular creel systems can be formed from a plurality of the disclosed creel assemblies. Methods of using and assembling the disclosed creel assemblies and modular creel systems are also disclosed.

An electronic device for locates a functional disorder within a spinning and winding section of a spinning by receive spinning parameters from spinning machines related to production of yarn delivery bobbins at the spinning machines, and receiving winding parameters from winding machines related to production of yarn bobbins at the winding machines. For the yarn bobbins, the electronic device compares a winding parameter with a normal state level value for the winding parameter to detect a winding abnormality at the respective winding machine that produced the yarn bobbin. Upon detection of the winding abnormality, the electronic device the yarn delivery bobbins used for production of the yarn bobbin and compares at least one of the spinning parameters of the identified yarn delivery bobbins with a normal state level value to locate the functional disorder within the spinning and winding section.

Provided is a yarn spindle coding method including: when determining that yarn spindles are fully wound, sleeving the yarn spindles in the winding machine sequentially outside a yarn connecting rod of a doffer, and updating the number of unloading times of the winding machine and recording first doffing time of each yarn spindle; generating a first information code of each yarn spindle based on identification information of the winding machine, the updated number of unloading times, the first doffing time and position information of each yarn spindle; and sending each first information code to the doffer, so that the doffer determines a corresponding target yarn spindle among the yarn spindles according to a matching degree between the first doffing time and second doffing time of each yarn spindle recorded by the doffer and code the information code on a corresponding target yarn spindle.
