Specification

DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to ring spinning and winding machines. Particularly the present invention relates to spindles mounted in the ring spinning machines. Still particularly, the present invention discloses a spindle with magnet sleeves to reduce the initial yarn breakages by reducing the friction between the Ring and Traveller.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Spinning machines for twisting and winding yarn has been known for some time. This apparatus generally consists of a spindle which supports the yarn bobbin, a ring surrounding the bobbin and a C-shaped traveller supported by the ring and capable of travelling about its circumference. With this structure the yarn which is supplied from an upper portion of the apparatus is fed to the bobbin via the traveller. The twisting and winding of the yarn are effected by tension on the yarn due to the winding operation which causes the traveller to move at relatively high speeds about the ring.

[003] In conventional spinning and twisting operations, the limiting factor with respect to increased speeds has always been the wear force between the traveller and the ring. The wear force between rings and travellers would results in friction. Increase in friction results in traveller wear out. As the polished surfaces of the traveller wear, they become roughened, increasing the coefficient of friction between the traveller and the ring. Such increased friction results in heat build-up. It is not uncommon for the toes of travellers to burn off, which in addition to loss of production time for replacement of the traveller, can cause damage to the yarn and the ring.

[004] Further, in addition to heat build-up, a roughened traveller will fray and eventually break the yarn, causing lost production time and a low quality end product. And such roughened travellers tend to become loaded with excess fibres resulting from such fraying, or fly, and again decrease production as they must be cleaned or replaced.

[005] Especially during the restarting time of ring spinning machines after doffing the full bobbins and replacing with empty bobbins, the yarn breakages would be higher due to increased yarn tension. As a result of excessive yarn tension, the friction between Ring and traveller would be higher which results in excessive heat generation and traveller damage or wear out.

[006] A Dutch patent application NL7006460 describes a magnetic coupling proposed to prevent bobbin from slipping and creeping up spindle. The spindle is of conventional design apart from magnetic coupling portion which comprises a collar of non-magnetic material containing band of magnetized material having opposite poles each end. To concentrate the lines of magnetic flux a low carbon steel, pole piece encircles the magnetized material. An inner ring of low carbon steel can be used also. The seat of the spindle can be covered by layer of synthetic resinous material for cushioning the bobbin. The provided solution is not effective for reduce the twisting and winding of yarn at initial stages.

[007] A Chinese patent application CN111705380 describes a single-motor-driven spindle and a textile machine. The spindle comprises a spindle blade base, a motor stator component and a motor rotor component, wherein the spindle blade base, the motor stator component and the motor rotor component are fixedly arranged on a rack. The spindle further comprises a spindle blade which rotates synchronously with the motor rotor component; and the projection of the motor rotor component and the projection of the motor stator component on the plane where the axis of a spindle blade rotating shaft is positioned do not coincide. The problems of head swinging and insufficient torque are avoided. The provided motor rotor component is a complex mechanism.

[008] A Korean patent application KR20010054901 proposes a spindle structure capable of continuously manufacturing spun yarn by supplying threads to a covering machine without winding threads on a bobbin is provided, which produces high quality spun yarn and improves working efficiency. In a spindle formed by a hole for passing through threads at the inside of a spindle and driven by a belt by combining a fixing device with a spindle by a bearing, the spindle structure is characterized in that a hole for passing through threads is formed on one side, a device connected by a bearing is installed at the upper part of a spindle, 4 to 8 permanent magnets are disposed at the lower part of the device, a permanent magnet is installed in its inside, a device rod is formed at the inside of the device and a guide pipe is combined at the upper part of a cover. The proposed device for spindle structure may not be effective solution. Also, forms an additional component for spindle structure.

[009] Though various efforts have been taken, the initial yarn breakages in the ring spinning machines are still a major problem in spinning mills. To overcome the disadvantages, present in the existing art, the present invention discloses an improved spindle for ring spinning machines to improve the frictional resistance and thereby to improve the working performance and traveller life and to reduce the yarn breakages.

OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION
[010] The principal objective of the present invention is to provide an improved spindles for textile spinning applications.

[011] Another objective of the present invention is to provide magnet sleeves in the spindle blade part of spindle.

[012] Another objective of the present invention is to provide plurality of slots in the Ring spindles to mount the magnet sleeves.

[013] Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide the magnet sleeves in the bobbins.
