Abstract

The invention relates to a device for feeding a thread for loop-forming tools, which are arranged in at least one row, of a textile machine, comprising a thread guiding device (4) having a rotary element (5), wherein the thread guiding device (4) is designed to move a weft thread (2) to and fro in two opposite directions in a feeding region (B) in each case in front of the row of tools. The thread guiding device is intended to create a device for feeding a thread over a partial width of a knitted web, wherein the device has a compact structure and allows a high working speed. This is achieved in that the thread guiding device (4) comprises at least one rotatably mounted roller (5) as a rotary element, wherein a groove system (6) is inserted into a lateral surface of the roller (5), said groove system running in a thread-like manner to and fro from a first end of the roller (5) to the opposite second end thereof as inflection points (6b).

The light source (30) allows light to be introduced into the sensor head (1) by means of the input optical waveguide (2). The light can be fed to the light detector (35) from the sensor head (1) by means of the output optical waveguide (5) after being reflected at least once on the at least one optical boundary surface (3, 4, 29). In order to do away with the drawback of thermal inertia in previously known measuring systems while designing the moisture sensor device in a highly sensitive and perturbation-insensitive manner, the at least one optical boundary surface (3, 4, 29) is designed and/or arranged in a temperature-controllable fashion.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the contactless determination of the diameter of a running thread (4) by means of an optical sensor unit (6a, 6b) that is positioned in the run of thread of a textile machine. According to the invention: a laser beam (2) is generated by a laser source (1), said beam being split into at least two sub-beams (2a, 2b) by means of an optical splitter and guide unit (3); the two sub-beams (2a, 2b) are directed in such a way that they impinge at least partially on a respective optical detector (6a, 6b); the two sub-beams are directed in such a way that one sub-beam is directed onto the thread (4) as a measuring beam (2a), creating a shadow and the other sub-beam is directed past the thread (4) as a reference beam (2b); the signals (8a, 8b) produced by the two optical detectors (6a, 6b) in accordance with the respective amounts of light received are combined to form a diameter signal (10), which is electronically evaluated to determine the diameter of the thread (4). The invention also relates to an assembly that is suitable for carrying out said method.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining in a contactless manner the speed and/or length of a running thread (4) by means of an optical sensor device which is arranged in the run of the thread of a textile machine and which comprises at least one optical detector (6b). Said method comprises the following steps: passing the thread (4) through a measurement volume (5), generating a laser beam (2) by means of a laser source (1), collimating the laser beam (2) by means of an optical device (7), splitting the laser beam (2) into at least two partial beams (2a, 2b) by means of an optical splitting and guiding device (3) to split and guide the laser beam (2), guiding the two partial beams in such a manner that a partial beam is guided as a measurement beam (2a) onto the thread (4) in the measurement volume (5) and a shadow is cast thereon by the thread and the other partial beam is guided as a reference beam (2b) past the thread (4) and onto an optical detector (6b), superimposing the light of the measurement beam (2a) that is influenced and/or reflected by the thread (4) with the light of the reference beam (2b), electronically evaluating the measurement signals produced by the optical detector (6b) according to the laser Doppler anemometry method to determine the speed and/or the length of the running thread (4). The invention further relates to an arrangement for carrying out said method.

Abstract

The invention relates to an optical switching device, comprising an arrangement of at least two optical waveguides extending next to each other, particularly extending parallel to each other, wherein the surfaces of two adjacent optical waveguides (L1, L2) are tightly connected, particularly bonded to each other, such that a multilayer design (OSF) of at least two optical waveguides (L1, L2) is formed, and that two adjacent optical waveguides (L1, L2) of the multilayer design have deviating refraction indices. The invention further relates to a device for the measurement of mechanical deformations and/or displacements, which has a switching device according to one of the preceding claims, the multilayer design (OSF) of which is connected / can be connected by optical waveguides (L1, L2, L3) to at least one element (M, A) that can be mechanically deformed, or locally displaced. The invention also relates to a method for the qualitative and/or quantitative determination of a deformation and/or local displacement of an element, wherein the element (M, A) is connected at least partially to a switching device (OSF) according to any one of the preceding claims 1 to 24, and which is detected by means of a change in a light decoupling, which is the result of the deformation/displacement, from at least one optical waveguide guiding a light, and/or by means of a change of a light coupling in an optical waveguide of the multilayer design.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining, in a contactless manner, parameters of a running thread (2) and/or monitoring and/or optimizing a winding process of a running thread (2), especially when forming a bobbin (3) wound from a running thread (2). In said method, a sensor device (5) is used at a winding point of a textile machine, said sensor comprising at least two sensors (6a, 6b) that operate in a contactless manner and are disposed one behind another at a fixed distance (d) in the direction of travel of the thread (2). The disclosed method encompasses the following steps: thread signals (xn, yn) that depend upon the structure and/or the speed of the running thread (2) are detected continuously or at predefined intervals by means of two sensors (6a, 6b); the thread signals (xn, yn) are fed to an evaluation unit (7); each thread signal (xn, yn) detected by the two sensors (6a, 6b) is initially transformed into two complex signal spectra (X(j쳱), Y(j쳱)) by means of Fourier transformation; a common complex data field (Z(j쳱)) is formed at least from parts of the two complex signal spectra (X(j쳱), Y(j쳱)) by means of a complex conjugated multiplication process; the common complex data field (Z(j쳱)) is inverse-transformed into the time domain by means of inverse Fourier transformation; a maximum of the data field z(t) that has been inverse-transformed into the time domain is determined; and the speed (v) of the running thread (2) is determined from the delay corresponding to the position of the determined maximum and the distance (d) between the two sensors (6a, 6b). The invention further relates to an arrangement that is suitable for carrying out said method.
