Improved automatic control and drive of working units of textile machines

Claim 2

Improvements to textile machines, as in Claim I, characterized by the fact that the linking of the functional units(I2) and automatic servicing devices (11) is brought about by assuming as a pilot variable at least the address of said functional units (I2) requiring auxiliary operations, said address being possibly,associated with the temporary - address of the movable automatic servicing device (14-13)

Claim 3

Improvements to textile machines, as in Claims I and 2, characterized by the fact that the linking of the functional units (I2) and automatic servicing devices (II) is brought' about by providing indicator means (20-23) to monitor at least the pilot variable of the functional units (12) and of the movable automatic servicing devices (14-13), a central coordination group (10) which receives as input the signal monitored by said indicator means (20-23), an auxil- iary coordination group (22) to transmit to the specialized automatic servicing device (II) the command as output from- said central coordination group (10) so as to optimize the action of said specialized automatic servicing device (11) by supplying it with the parameters for its action, whereby the automatic servicing device (II) is possibly capable. of at least a temporary direct link with the temporarily optimized functional unit (I2), and there is possibly an auxiliary coordination group (21) to transmit at least to the optimized functional unit (I2) the pilot variable con-- taining at least the relative parameters for action.

Claim 4

Improvements to textile machines, as in Claim I and in one or the other of the Claims thereafter up to Claim 3 inclusive, characterized by the fact that the indicator their means (20-23) transmit at least cyclically their readings to the central coordination group (10), which stores them and . possibly compares them with the preset parameters.

Claim 5

Improvements to textile machines, as in Claim I and in one or the other of the Claims thereafter up to Claim 3 inclusive, characterized by the fact that the central coordination group (10) is activated when a request comes from . the indicator means (20) monitoring the functional units (12) transmitting at least the pilot variable.

Claim 6

Improvements to textile machines, as in Claim 1 and in one or another of the Claims thereafter, characterized by the fact that the central coordination group (10)feeds temporarily with parameters the specialized automatic servicing device (II) and adapts and links it individually at least to the temporarily optimized functional unit (I2).

Claim 7

Improvements to textile machines, as in Claim I and in one or another of the Claims thereafter, characterized by the fact that the central coordination group (10) feeds' the functional unit (12) with parameters to suit the type of work which said unit (I2) has to carry out.

Claim 8

Improvements to textile machines, as in Claim I and in one or another of the Claims thereafter up to Claim 7 inclusive, characterized by the fact that at least the pilot variable is read as an electrical magnitude and means are envisaged to eliminate disturbing factors from the reading of said magnitude.

Claim 9

Improvements to textile machines, as in Claim I and in one or another of the Claims thereafter up to Claim 7 inclusive, characterized by the fact that at least the pilot variable is read as an optical magnitude and means are envisaged to eliminate disturbing factors from the reading of said magnitude.

Claim 10

I0. Improvements to textile machines, as in Claim I and - in one or another of the Claims thereafter, characterized by the fact that at the start of working there are preset the working parameters and operational rules referring to at least a part of the functional units (12) of the textile machine (19), whereby the parameters referring to at least . part of the automatic servicing devices (II) are also pre-set advantageously. II. Perfected textile machines, whereby said textile machines can be O.E. type spinning frames, winding machines, twisters, spinning machines, ring spinning machines, relaxing machines, texturizing machines, etc., and the textile - machines are equipped with a plurality of functional units. and with one or more automatic servicing devices separate - from, but cooperating at least temporarily with, said functional units, and whereby said automatic servicing devices can be stationary and/or movable, and the movable automatic servicing devices are able to move in respect of the functional units and to carry out thereon and in cooperation therewith one or more auxiliary functions, characterized by the fact that the functional units and automatic servicing devices are linked functionally in such a way that they tend to maintain and restore at all times collectively op-- timal working conditions which involve one or another of the improvements of Claims 1 to 9.

Claim 11

Improvements to textile machines, and the textile machines thus improved, whereby said textile machines can be O.E. type spinning frames, winding machines, twisters, spinning machines, ring spinning machines, relaxing machines, texturizing machines, etc., whereby said textile machines are equipped with a plurality of functional units and with one or more automatic servicing devices separate from, but cooperating at least temporarily with , said functional units, and the automatic servicing devices can be stationary and/or movable, and whereby the movable automatic servicing devices are able to move in respect of the functional devices and to carry out thereon and in cooperation therewith one or more auxiliary functions, according to one or another of the Claims hereinbefore, as described and shown and for the purposes allowed.
