20100162773 | Positive yarn feeder with tension limiter - A motorized yarn-winding drum holds a plurality of loops of yarn wound thereon and is driven to rotate for drawing said yarn from a reel and feeding it to a general downstream machine. A movable guiding member is biased to slideably engage the yarn unwinding from the drum and to deviate its path, by a spring acting in contrast to the tension of the yarn, thereby generating a reserve releasable in response to tension peaks on the yarn. The stroke of the guiding member is limited by a stop defining a position of maximum deviation of the yarn. The spring has one end operatively connected to the guiding member and one opposite end connected to driving elements operable for applying a load to the spring, with the guiding member abutting against said stop. The driving elements are controlled by a control unit which is programmed to adjust the load as a function of a desired feeding tension. | 07-01-2010 |
20110000306 | Method for detecting the stop of the yarn unwinding from a yarn feeder provided with a stationary drum - In order to detect the stop of the yarn unwinding from a yarn feeder provided with a stationary drum and with a sensor generating a pulse per each yarn loop unwound from the drum, a threshold time interval is continuously computed, which corresponds to the maximum interval between two successive pulses, above which it should be regarded that an accidental stop of the yarn has occurred. The threshold time interval is updated in real time as a function of the yarn-drawing speed. Then the delay from the last pulse is continuously measured and compared with the updated threshold time interval. The machine is stopped when the measured delay overcomes the updated threshold interval. | 01-06-2011 |
20120031148 | Method and apparatus for detecting accidental stops of the yarn on a knitting line - A knitting line comprises a plurality of yarn feeders from which a downstream machine draws respective yarns. The machine is provided with selection elements adapted to vary the state of selection of the yarn feeders in relation to the angular position of the machine. Each of the yarn feeders is provided with a stationary drum and with a yarn count sensor arranged to generate a pulse per each yarn loop unwound from the drum. A selection signal is periodically sent to the yarn feeders, which is indicative of the state of selection of the individual feeders in relation to the angular position of the machine. For each of the selected feeders, a threshold time interval is continuously calculated, which corresponds to the maximum interval between two successive pulses, above which it should be regarded that an accidental stop of the yarn has occurred, and is updated in real time as a function of the yarn-drawing speed, the delay from the last pulse is continuously measured and compared with the updated threshold time interval, and the downstream machine is stopped when the measured delay exceeds the updated threshold interval. | 02-09-2012 |
