Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) The invention is explained in more detail in the following with reference to an example embodiment shown in the drawings, wherein:

(2) FIG. 1 shows schematically in side view, partly in cross-section, an open-end spinning device, in which the yarn withdrawal nozzle according to the invention is used;

(3) FIG. 2 shows a spinning rotor with a yarn withdrawal nozzle according to the invention in the channel plate adapter;

(4) FIG. 3 shows a yarn withdrawal nozzle according to the invention in side and plan view.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(5) FIG. 1 shows schematically an open-end rotor spinning device 1. Such open-end-spinning devices 1 have, as already known, a rotor housing 2, in which the spinning cup of a spinning rotor 3 rotates at high speed.

(6) The spinning rotor 3 is thus supported for example by its rotor shaft 4 in the bearing gores of a so-called support disc bearing 5 and is driven frictionally by a machine-length tangential belt 6, which is loaded by a pressing roller 7.

(7) The axial fixing of the rotor shaft 4 is performed for example by a permanent magnetic axial bearing 18.

(8) The rotor housing 2 open to the front is closed during the spinning operation by a pivotably mounted cover element 8, in which a channel plate is formed which bears with a rotating lip seal 9 on the rotor housing 2.

(9) The rotor housing 2 is also connected by a corresponding negative pressure line 10 to a negative pressure source 11, which produces the negative spinning pressure required in the rotor housing 2.

(10) In a mount of the channel plate (not shown in more detail) a channel plate adapter 12 is arranged replaceably, which comprises the outlet area of a fiber guiding channel 14 and a yarn withdrawal nozzle 13 according to the invention to which a yarn take-off tube 15 is connected.

(11) Furthermore, a sliver opening device is integrated into the cover element 8, which is mounted to be rotatable about a pivot axis 16 to a limited degree.

(12) This means that the cover element 8 has an opening roller housing 17 and rear bearing consoles 19, 20 for supporting an opening roller 21 or a sliver draw-in cylinder 22.

(13) The opening roller 21 is driven by a rotating machine-length tangential belt 24, which loads a whorl 23 of the opening roller 21, whereas the drive of the sliver draw-in cylinder 22 is preferably performed over a machine-length drive shaft 25 or a (not shown) worm wheel gear.

(14) As shown in FIG. 2 on a larger scale, the yarn withdrawal nozzle 13 according to the invention is arranged in a central through bore of a channel plate adapter 12 and is positioned during the spinning process inside the spinning cup 26 of the spinning rotor 3 which is open towards the front.

(15) The spinning cup 26, which comprises a so-called rotor groove 27, rotates, as already indicated above, at high speed inside the rotor housing 2.

(16) The individual fibers 28 opened by the opening roller 21 from a (not shown) feed sliver are fed via the fiber guiding channel 14 into the spinning rotor 3 and, as is usual in open-end rotor spinning devices, are firstly collected in the region of the rotor groove 27 of the spinning rotor 3.

(17) In a so-called binding area the individual fibers 28 are rotated onto a yarn 29 which is then drawn off via the yarn withdrawal nozzle 13 out of the spinning rotor 3.

(18) The yarn take-off speed, at which the new yarn 29, which rolls or slides during take-off over the surface of the yarn withdrawal nozzle 13, is drawn off in direction A from the open-end spinning device 1, is dependent on various factors, such as for example the rotor speed, the desired yarn rotation etc., and can be adjusted in a defined manner by a yarn take-off device 35.

(19) The yarn withdrawal nozzle 13 is connected by magnetic connection 37 to the channel plate adapter 12, if necessary so as to be easily detachable.

(20) As shown in FIG. 3, the yarn withdrawal nozzle 13 according to the invention comprises two ferromagnetic projections designed as bolts 32 in the form of cylindrical pins. The bolts 32 correspond with depressions 30 of the cover element 8 at the end of which a permanent magnet 31 is arranged respectively.

(21) If a yarn withdrawal nozzle 13 is inserted into the channel plate adapter 12 it is thus sufficient to position the yarn withdrawal nozzle 13 on the surface of the channel plate adapter 12. By means of the embodiment according to the invention the yarn withdrawal nozzle 13 is pulled by means of magnetism independently into the right installation position and snaps in.

(22) If a yarn withdrawal nozzle 13 according to the invention is removed from the channel plate adapter 12 it is thus sufficient if the yarn withdrawal nozzle 13 is grasped by fingers and rotated out of the cover element 8. It is not necessary to use a tool.

(23) It will therefore be readily understood by those persons skilled in the art that the present invention is susceptible of a broad utility and application. Many embodiments and adaptations of the present invention other than those herein described, as well as many variations, modifications and equivalent arrangements will be apparent from or reasonably suggested by the present invention and the foregoing description thereof, without departing from the substance or scope of the present invention. Accordingly, while the present invention has been described herein in detail in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that this disclosure is only illustrative and exemplary of the present invention and is made merely for purposes of providing a full and enabling disclosure of the invention. The foregoing disclosure is not intended or to be construed to limit the present invention or otherwise to exclude any such other embodiment, adaptations, variations, modifications and equivalent arrangements, the present invention being limited only by the claims appended hereto and the equivalents thereof.
