Method of Controlling Transport Vehicles for Transporting Sliver Cans in a Spinning Mill and a Transport Vehicle for Performing the Method

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of controlling transport vehicles for transporting exactly one sliver can (2) in a spinning mill between a filling station (3) for depositing a sliver into cans (2) and working positions of the cans (2) at workstations of the spinning machines (4), which ensures supplying the spinning machines with full cans (2) with a sliver. A request for can (2) replacement atthe respective workstation of the spinning machine (4) is generated on the basis of the information from the spinning machines (4) about the remaining quantity of the sliver in the cans (2) at the individual workstations of the spinning machines (4), or information about the removal of the can (2) by the operator during spinning, the information being passed to the control system (5) of the spinning mill, which on the basis of this request predicts the moment of the conveying of the can (2) by the transport vehicle (1) to the respective workstation and the request is placed into a request queue which is optimized for the maximum utilization of the spinning machines (4) with respect to the current position and working activity of the transport vehicles (1), whereby in order to control the individual transport vehicles (1), data / information from the localization system, as well as data / information from the transport vehicle (1), is evaluated and processed. The invention also relates to atransport vehicle for performing the method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for controlling the operation of a transport vehicle used in a spinning mill, between a filling station for filling cans with slivers and a spinning machine The sliver cans are transported between the working positions of the cans at the workstations, which ensures that the spinning machines are supplied with sliver cans. [0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a transport vehicle for carrying out the method described above. Background technique [0003] The automation of spinning mill operations is an important means for eliminating secondary working time, which is mainly related to the alignment of the sliver between the preparation spinning machine producing the sliver and the spinning machine for which the sliver is the input semi-finished material to be processed. for handling and transport. [0004] The increase in the productivity of spinning machines is directly related to the requirement for increased...

Problems solved by technology

Disadvantages of this solution include the problem of the large size of the carriage, which requires a relatively large handling space between the machines, and the fact that non-circular watering cans have not been found as expected So there is such a wide range of applications in the spinning industry

This method of manipulation seems uneconomical for traditional round cylinders, so technical solutions in this field are unknown
