The numerals 25, 26, 28 and 30 are bearings.

(12) FIG. 2 shows a five-nested combination of back rollers with five rotational degrees of freedom. The five movable back rollers 6,8,10,12,14 are respectively driven by a core shaft 20 and pulleys 33,34,35,36. FIG. 3 shows a five-ingredient separate/integrated asynchronous/synchronous second-stage drafting device, O.sub.1, O.sub.1, O.sub.2,O.sub.2, O.sub.3,O.sub.3, respectively refer to axis centers of back rollers, the middle roller and the front roller. The first stage drafting is implemented by the middle roller and the back rollers and the second drafting is implemented by the front roller and the middle roller.

(13) During the process of spinning, the five roving yarns are fed in parallel into the corresponding independently driven first stage drafting mechanism to be asynchronously drafted, and synchronously drafted and integrated by the second stage drafting mechanism, and then twisted to form a yarn. As such, the five roving yarns respectively go through separate/integrate drafting, and asynchronous/synchronous drafting.

The five coaxial back rollers with the same diameters correspond with five coaxial top rollers with the same diameters. The roving yarns are held by the five pairs of parallel arranged upper aprons and corresponding lower aprons located in the back area. When spinning, the five roving yarns are located by a guide rod and a bell mouth in the process of drafting and twisting, to travel according to the route showed in FIG. 4.

(52) Let V.sub.h1+V.sub.h2+V.sub.h3+V.sub.h4+V.sub.h5=V.sub.Z, i.e., the sum of the linear speeds of the five back rollers is equal to the linear speed of the middle roller, then:

(53) $k_{1} = \frac{V_{h 1}}{V_{z}} = \frac{1}{e_{h 1}}$ $k_{2} = \frac{V_{h 2}}{V_{z}} = \frac{1}{e_{h 2}}$ $k_{3} = \frac{V_{h 3}}{V_{z}} = \frac{1}{e_{h 3}}$ $k_{4} = \frac{V_{h 4}}{V_{z}} = \frac{1}{e_{h 4}}$ $k_{5} = \frac{V_{h 5}}{V_{z}} = \frac{1}{e_{h 5}};$
i.e., the blending ratios of the five yarn ingredients .sub.1, .sub.2, .sub.3, .sub.4, .sub.5 of the yarn Y are equal to the inverses of their drafting ratios in the first stage drafting area,

(54) $e_{h 1} = \frac{V_{z}}{V_{h 1}} = \frac{1}{k_{1}}$ $e_{h 2} = \frac{V_{z}}{V_{h 2}} = \frac{1}{k_{2}}$ $e_{h 3} = \frac{V_{z}}{V_{h 3}} = \frac{1}{k_{3}}$ $e_{h 4} = \frac{V_{z}}{V_{h 4}} = \frac{1}{k_{4}}$ $e_{h 5} = \frac{V_{z}}{V_{h 5}} = \frac{1}{k_{5}}$

(55) Wherein there is an integrator between the combination of back rollers and the middle roller, the speed of the middle roller is kept unchanged, and then the first stage drafting unit functions as a blended or color-mixing unit, and the second stage drafting unit functions as a pure liner density regulating unit.

(56) By controlling the operating speed of the middle roller, without regard for the later linear density adjusting process, the yarn can be blended more even and thorough, preventing the influences on the blending process from the linear density adjusting process.

Embodiment 2

(57) The method of this embodiment is substantially the same as Embodiment 1, and the differences are:

(58) 1) According to the set blending ratio and/or linear density, divide the yarn Y into n segments. The linear density and blending ratio of each segment of yarn Y are the same, while the linear densities and blending ratios of the adjacent segments are different; when drafting the segment i of the yarn Y, the linear speeds of the first back roller, the second back roller, the third back roller, the fourth back roller and the fifth back roller are V.sub.h1i, V.sub.h2i, V.sub.h3i, V.sub.h4i, V.sub.h5i, wherein i(1, 2, . . . , n); the first roving yarn ingredient, the second roving yarn ingredient, the third roving yarn ingredient, the fourth roving yarn ingredient and the fifth roving yarn ingredient are two-stage drafted and twisted to form segment i of yarn Y, and the blending ratios k.sub.1i, k.sub.2i, k.sub.3i, k.sub.4i and k.sub.5i thereof are expressed as below:

(59) $\begin{matrix} k_{1 i} = \frac{_{1} V_{h 1 i}}{{.Math.}_{m = 1}^{5}_{i} V_{hmi}} & (2) \\ k_{2 i} = \frac{_{2} V_{h 2 i}}{{.Math.}_{m = 1}^{5}_{i} V_{hmi}} & (3) \\ k_{3 i} = \frac{_{3} V_{h 3 i}}{{.Math.}_{m = 1}^{5}_{i} V_{hmi}} & (4) \\ k_{4 i} = \frac{_{4} V_{h 4 i}}{{.Math.}_{m = 1}^{5}_{i} V_{hmi}} & (5) \\ k_{5 i} = \frac{_{5} V_{h 5 i}}{{.Math.}_{m = 1}^{5}_{i} V_{hmi}} & (6) \end{matrix}$
the linear density of the segment i of yarn Y is:

(60) $\begin{matrix} \begin{matrix} _{yi} = \frac{V_{z}}{V_{q}} (\frac{V_{h 1 i}}{V_{z}}_{1} + \frac{V_{h 2 i}}{V_{z}}_{2} + \frac{V_{h 3 i}}{V_{z}}_{3} + \frac{V_{h 4 i}}{V_{z}}_{4} + \frac{V_{h 5 i}}{V_{z}}_{5}) \\ = \frac{1}{e_{q}} (\frac{V_{h 1 i}}{V_{z}}_{1} + \frac{V_{h 2 i}}{V_{z}}_{2} + \frac{V_{h 3 i}}{V_{z}}_{3} + \frac{V_{h 4 i}}{V_{z}}_{4} + \frac{V_{h 5 i}}{V_{z}}_{5}) \end{matrix} & (7) \end{matrix}$
wherein

(61) 0 $e_{q} = \frac{V_{q}}{V_{z}}$
is the two-stage drafting ratio;

(62) 2) Take the segment with the lowest density as a reference segment, whose reference linear density is .sub.0; the reference linear speeds of the first back roller, the second back roller, the third back roller, the fourth back roller and the fifth back roller for this segment are respectively V.sub.h10, V.sub.h20, V.sub.h30, V.sub.h40 and V.sub.h50; and the reference blending ratios of the first roving yarn ingredient, the second roving yarn ingredient, the third roving yarn ingredient, the fourth roving yarn ingredient, and the fifth roving yarn ingredient for this segment are respectively k.sub.10, k.sub.20, k.sub.30, k.sub.40 and k.sub.50,

(63) keep the linear speed of the middle roller constant, and
V.sub.z=V.sub.h10+V.sub.h20+V.sub.h30+V.sub.h40+V.sub.h50(8);
also keep two-stage drafting ratio

(64) $e_{q} = \frac{V_{q}}{V_{z}}$
constant;

(65) wherein the reference linear speeds of the first back roller, the second back roller, the third back roller, the fourth back roller and the fifth back roller for this segment are respectively V.sub.h10, V.sub.h20, V.sub.h30, V.sub.h40 and V.sub.h50, which can be predetermined according to the material, the reference linear density .sub.0 and the reference blending ratios k.sub.10, k.sub.20, k.sub.30, k.sub.40 and k.sub.50 of the first roving yarn ingredient, the second roving yarn ingredient, the third roving yarn ingredient, the fourth roving yarn ingredient, and the fifth roving yarn ingredient.

(66) 3) When the segment i of the yarn Y is drafted and blended, on the premise of known set linear density .sub.yi and blending ratios k.sub.1i, k.sub.2i, k.sub.3i, k.sub.4i and k.sub.5i, the linear speeds V.sub.h1i, V.sub.h2i, V.sub.h3i, V.sub.h4i and V.sub.h5i of the first back roller, the second back roller, the third back roller, the fourth back roller and the fifth back roller are calculated according to Equations (2)-(8);

(67) 4) Based on the reference linear speeds V.sub.h10, V.sub.h20, V.sub.h30, V.sub.h40 and V.sub.h50 for the reference segment, increase or decrease the rotation rates of the first back roller, the second back roller, the third back roller, the fourth back roller or/and the fifth back roller to dynamically adjust the linear density or/and blending ratio for the segment i of yarn Y.

(68) 5) Let .sub.1=.sub.2=.sub.3=.sub.4=.sub.5=

(69) the Equation (7) can be simplified as

(70) $\begin{matrix} _{yi} = \frac{}{e_{q}} \frac{V_{h 1 i} + V_{h 2 i} + V_{h 3 i} + V_{h 4 i} + V_{h 5 i}}{V_{z}} . & (9) \end{matrix}$

(71) According to Equations (2)-(6) and (8)-(9), the linear speeds V.sub.h1i, V.sub.h2i, V.sub.h3i, V.sub.h4i, V.sub.h5i of the first back roller, the second back roller, the third back roller, the fourth back roller and the fifth back roller are calculated. Based on the reference linear speeds V.sub.h10, V.sub.h20, V.sub.h30, V.sub.h40 and V.sub.h50, the rotation rates of the first back roller, the second back roller, the third back roller, the fourth back roller or/and the fifth back roller are increased or decreased to reach the preset linear density and blending ratio for the segment i of the yarn Y.

(72) 6) At the moment of switching the segment i1 to the segment i of yarn Y, let the linear density of the yarn Y increase by dynamic increment .sub.yi, i.e., thickness change .sub.yi, on the basis of the reference linear density; and thus the first back roller, the second back roller, the third back roller, the fourth back roller and the fifth back roller have corresponding increments on the basis of the reference linear speed, i.e., when (V.sub.h10+V.sub.h20 V.sub.h30 V.sub.h40 V.sub.h50).fwdarw.(V.sub.h10+V.sub.h1i+V.sub.h20+V.sub.h2i+V.sub.h30+V.sub.h3i+V.sub.h40+V.sub.h4i+V.sub.h50+V.sub.h5i), the linear density increment of yarn Y is:

(73) $_{yi} = \frac{}{e_{q} V_{z}} (V_{h 1 i} + V_{h 2 i} + V_{h 3 i} + V_{h 4 i} + V_{h 5 i});$
Then the linear density .sub.yi of the yarn Y is expressed as

(74) $\begin{matrix} _{yi} =_{y 0} +_{yi} =_{y 0} + \frac{V_{h 1 i} + V_{h 2 i} + V_{h 3 i} + V_{h 4 i} + V_{h 5 i}}{V_{z}} \frac{}{e_{q}} . & (10) \end{matrix}$
Let V.sub.1=V.sub.h1i+V.sub.h2i+V.sub.h3i+V.sub.h4i+V.sub.h5i, then Equation (10) is simplified as:

(75) $\begin{matrix} _{yi} =_{y 0} + \frac{V_{i}}{V_{z}} \frac{}{e_{q}} . & (11) \end{matrix}$

(76) The linear density of the yarn Y can be adjusted by controlling the sum of the linear speed increments V.sub.i of the first back roller, the second back roller, the third back roller, the fourth back roller and the fifth back roller.

(77) 7) let .sub.1=.sub.2=.sub.3=.sub.4=.sub.5= at the moment of switching the segment i1 to the segment i of the yarn Y, the blending ratios of the yarn Y in Equations (2)-(6) can be simplified as:

(78) $\begin{matrix} k_{1 i} = \frac{V_{h 10} + V_{h 1 i}}{V_{z} + V_{i}} & (12) \\ k_{2 i} = \frac{V_{h 20} + V_{h 2 i}}{V_{z} + V_{i}} & (13) \\ k_{3 i} = \frac{V_{h 30} + V_{h 3 i}}{V_{z} + V_{i}} & (14) \\ k_{4 i} = \frac{V_{h 40} + V_{h 4 i}}{V_{z} + V_{i}} & (15) \\ k_{5 i} = \frac{V_{h 50} + V_{h 5 i}}{V_{z} + V_{i}} & (16) \end{matrix}$

(79) The blending ratios of the yarn Y can be adjusted by controlling the linear speed increments of the first back roller, the second back roller, the third back roller, the fourth back roller and the fifth back roller;

(80) wherein
V.sub.h1i=k.sub.1i*(V.sub.Z+V.sub.i)V.sub.h10
V.sub.h2i=k.sub.2i*(V.sub.Z+V.sub.i)V.sub.h20
V.sub.h3i=k.sub.3i*(V.sub.Z+V.sub.i)V.sub.h30
V.sub.h4i=k.sub.4i*(V.sub.Z+V.sub.i)V.sub.h40
V.sub.h5i=k.sub.5i*(V.sub.Z+V.sub.i)V.sub.h50

(81) 8) Let V.sub.h1i*.sub.1+V.sub.h2i*.sub.2+V.sub.h3i*.sub.3+V.sub.h4i*.sub.4+V.sub.h5i*.sub.5=H and H is a constant, then V.sub.i is constantly equal to zero, and thus the linear density is unchanged when the blending ratios of the yarn Y are adjusted.

(82) 9) Let any one to four of V.sub.h1i, V.sub.h2i, V.sub.h3i, V.sub.h4i and V.sub.h5i be equal to zero, while the remaining ones are not zero, then the one to four roving yarn ingredients can be changed while the other roving yarn ingredients are unchanged. The adjusted blending ratio are:

(83) $k_{ki} = \frac{V_{hk 0} + V_{hki}}{V_{z} + V_{i}}$ $k_{ji} = \frac{V_{hj 0}}{V_{z} + V_{i}}$
wherein k, j(1,2,3,4,5) and kj.

(84) 10) Let none of V.sub.h1i, V.sub.h2i, V.sub.h3i, V.sub.h4i and V.sub.h5i be equal to zero, then the five roving yarn ingredients in the yarn Y may be changed.

(85) 11) Let any one to four of V.sub.h1i, V.sub.h2i, V.sub.h3i, V.sub.h4i and V.sub.h5i be equal to zero, while the remaining ones are not zero, then the one to four roving yarn ingredients of the segment i of the yarn Y may be discontinuous.

Embodiment 3

(86) The method of this embodiment is substantially the same as Embodiment 1, and the differences are:

(87) The yellow, magenta, cyan, black, and white yarns are respectively drafted by the first back roller, the second back roller, the third back roller, the fourth back roller and the fifth back roller; the speed V.sub.q of the front roller is kept constant and the speeds of the first back roller, the second back roller, the third back roller, the fourth back roller and the fifth back roller are adjusted to regulate the colors of the yarns; when blending the colors, the color depth or the saturation of the colored spun yarn is adjusted by the black yarn, the concentration or brightness of the colored spun yarn is adjusted by the white yarn, and the hue is adjusted with the proportion of the black color and the white color.

Embodiment 4

(88) The method of dynamically configuring linear density and blending ratio of a yarn by five-ingredient asynchronous drafting disclosed in this embodiment is substantially the same as Embodiment 2, and the differences are:

(89) Set the initial linear speeds of the first back roller, a second back roller, a third back roller, a fourth back roller and a fifth back roller as V.sub.h10, V.sub.h20, V.sub.h30, V.sub.h40, V.sub.h50; the initial linear speed of the middle roller
V.sub.Z0=V.sub.h10+V.sub.h20+V.sub.h30+V.sub.h40+V.sub.h50

(90) In addition, set
V.sub.Zi=V.sub.h1(i-1)+V.sub.h2(i-1)+V.sub.h3(i-1)+V.sub.h4(i-1)+V.sub.h5(i-1),
and let the two-stage drafting ratio

(91) $e_{qi} = \frac{V_{qi}}{V_{zi}}$
constantly be equal to the set value e.sub.q;

(92) When drafting and blending the segment i of the yarn Y, take the linear density and the blending ratio of the segment i1 as a reference linear density and a reference blending ratio of segment i. On the premise of the known set linear density .sub.yi and blending ratios k.sub.1i, k.sub.2i, k.sub.3i, k.sub.4i, k.sub.5i, the linear speeds V.sub.h1i, V.sub.h2i, V.sub.h3i, V.sub.h4i, V.sub.h5i of a first back roller, a second back roller, a third back roller, a fourth back roller and a fifth back roller are calculated.

(93) On the basis of the segment i1, the rotation rates of the first back roller and/or the second back roller are adjusted to dynamically regulate the linear density or/and blending ratio of segment i of the yarn Y online.

(94) In the method,
V.sub.Zi=V.sub.h1(i-1)+V.sub.h2(i-1)+V.sub.h3(i-1)+V.sub.h4(i-1)+V.sub.h5(i-1)
and the two-stage drafting ratio is constant, and thus the speeds of the middle roller and the front roller are continually adjusted with the speeds of the back rollers, to avoid a substantial change of the drafting ratio of the yarn resulted from untimely adjusted speeds of the middle roller and the front roller as opposed to a relatively large speed adjustment of the combination of the back rollers, and effectively prevent yarn breakage.

(95) In addition, the operating speed of each roller is recorded in real time by a computer or other intellectual control unit, and thus the speeds of the middle roller and the front roller in the next step can be automatically calculated if the current speeds of the back rollers are known. The speed increments/decrements of the combination of the back rollers are calculated quickly with the above equations and models, to adjust the set blending ratio and linear density more easily and accurately.

Embodiment 5

(96) A device for spinning a multi-color slub yarn and dotted yarn by five-ingredient two-stage drafting, comprises a control system and an actuating mechanism. The actuating mechanism includes five-ingredient separate/integrated asynchronous/synchronous two-stage drafting mechanism, a twisting mechanism and a winding mechanism; the two-stage drafting mechanism includes a first stage drafting unit and a second stage drafting unit.

(97) As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first stage drafting unit includes combination 15 of back rollers and middle roller 3; combination 15 of back rollers has five rotational degrees of freedom and includes first back roller 6, second back roller 8, third back roller 10, fourth back roller 12 and fifth back roller 14, which are set abreast on a same back roller shaft 20. The second stage drafting unit includes front roller 1 and middle roller 3. The numeral 4 refers to a top roller corresponding to middle roller 3, and the numerals 5,7,9,11 and 13 refer to five top rollers corresponding to the five back rollers. The numeral 2 refers to a top roller corresponding to front roller 1.

(98) As shown in FIG. 2, a five-nested combination of back rollers with five rotational degrees of freedom is provided. The five movable back rollers 6,8,10,12,14 are movably placed around the same core shaft 20 and respectively driven by pulleys 32,33,34,35,36. The five back rollers are adjacently provided in sequence and the driving pulleys 32,33,34,35,36 are located on both sides of the five back rollers. The five back rollers are set abreast on a same back roller shaft, with the driving mechanisms set on both sides, which makes the mechanic structure more compact and the five types of roving yarns drafted by the five back rollers more close when blending, so as to effectively prevent the yarn from interferences and pollutions when the driving mechanisms work. In addition, the five basic colors yarns go through the bell mouth with a smaller clamping angle, rendering the blending of the yarn more even and almost unbreakable.

(99) As shown in FIG. 5, the control system mainly includes a PLC programmable controller, a servo driver, a servo motor, Recommended Standard (RS) 232 serial port, RS 485 serial port, etc. The PLC programmable controller controls the motor by the servo driver, to drive the rollers, ring plates and spindles.
