CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
The present application claims priority from the Provisional Application No. 202141036069 filed on 10th Aug 2021, the full disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

TITLE OF THE INVENTION
A method of balancing a service robot in Ring frame during its movement.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to the system for balancing a service robot during its movement in a Ring frame (also be termed as “Ring spinning machine”). Particularly, the invention relates to the movement and balancing of a service robot used in a Ring spinning machine for piecing a broken yarn.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] When a yarn breaks in a spinning position of a Ring spinning machine, the piecing operation is carried out by an operator or a service robot. When a service robot is used to piece the yarn break, it should move through the alley of the Ring spinning machine and stops in front of the spindle. During its movement, a perfect balancing and alignment is necessary for trouble free movement and precise positioning for piecing.
[0003] Patent Application IN 201741041264 discloses a self-aligning platform for a piecing unit of a spinning machine. The platform comprises a base plate for accommodating the piecing unit. The platform also comprises one or more first wheels fixed to one end of base plate and traversing on guide rail, and one or more second wheels rotatably fixed to either the base plate and traversing on mill floor. This platform continuously monitors the level with reference to the mill floor, thus helps in accurate positioning of the piecing unit with reference to frame of the spinning machine.
The disadvantage of the above invention is that, the piecing unit is dependent on the floor. Any deviations or damages in the floor affects the accuracy of the positioning of piecing unit and thereby piecing process gets affected.
[0004] The present invention overcomes the above problems by means of a system for balancing the service robot during its movement which avoids the influence of deviations and damages of floor during piecing unit movement and during piecing process.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The main object of the present invention is to develop a system for balancing a service robot during its movement.
[0006] Another main object of the present invention is to avoid the influence of floor deviations and damages on the movement of the service robot.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] Accordingly, the present invention relates to the system for balancing a service robot during its movement.
[0008] In an aspect of the present invention, the system involves a mechanical guiding arrangement which helps for trouble free movement at a desired speed to the required spindle position for carrying out the piecing operation.
[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, bottom guide rails are mounted on the floor and / or auto-doffer beam of the Ring spinning machine and / or in any one of the basic ring spinning machine structure directly and / or by a connecting means. One or more Service Robot bottom wheels are mounted on the top surface of the guide rails while one or more bottom guide rollers are mounted in such a way that the bottom guide rollers are guided by the vertical face of the bottom guide rails.
[0010] In addition to the above, frame guide rails mounted on the vertical surface of Ring spinning machine to support the service robot movement with the help of one or more frame guide rollers. The frame guide rails are either directly connected to the Ring spinning machine or through any connecting means.
[0011] The combination of the bottom guide rail on the floor / auto-doffer beam / basic Ring spinning machine structure with its bottom guide rollers, and the frame guide rail on the Ring spinning machine with its frame guide rollers help to achieve a perfect balancing of service robot during its movement.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0012] The present invention is described in the detailed description and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings, and in which
Figure 1 illustrates the top view of the Service robot positioned with various elements of the present invention represented;
Figure 2 illustrates the side view of the Service robot positioned with various elements of the present invention represented;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0013] For the better understanding of the object, technical solution and advantage of the present invention, the present invention will be further explained in detail with respect to embodiments and accompanying drawings below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein only be used for explaining the present invention but not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0014] The present invention relates to the system for balancing a service robot during its movement.
[0015] Figure 1 explains the method of positioning the service robot (1) over the bottom guide rail (2) mounted on floor and / or auto-doffer beam and / or basic Ring spinning machine structure by means of one or more bottom guide rollers (3) and one or more bottom wheels (4). In addition to the bottom guide rail (2) with bottom guide rollers (3) and bottom wheels (4). Service robot (1) contains one or more frame guide rollers (6) which rest over the frame guide rail (7) which is fixed to the Ring spinning machine (5). When the service robot (1) moves over the bottom guide rail (2) with the help of bottom guide rollers (3) and bottom wheels (4), the frame guide rollers (6) which moves over the frame guide rail (7) helps to achieve a perfect balancing of service robot (1) during its movement.
[0016] Figure 2 shows the side view of the positioning of service robot (1) over the bottom guide rail (2) and frame guide rail (7) and the arrangements are similar to the explanations as given in previous paragraph [0015].
[0017] The above described arrangement also helps to achieve smooth movement of service robot (1) even when the floor has deviations and damages.
