The present invention concerns a method for obtaining viscose rayon with cyclically varying linear density called “flame” rayon yam, an installation for die realization of this method, and a product, obtained using this method and this installation.
The production of viscose rayon dates back as the beginning of the previous century. Viscose filament rayon is a part of various types of white or dyed fibers and yarns, as well as other fancy yams widely used in the industry,
There is a method described in patent U.S. Pat. No. 5,890,355. According to this method of and apparatus for production a thin thick effect yarn provides a thin/thick effect by segmentwise stretching of a filamentary precursor yam,which is combined with a fully-stretched filamentary precursor yarn so that the latter supports the former. The combination can be effected by twisting, nub entanglement or winding of one yarn around the other.
There is also a method for obtaining fancy yarns as described in the U.S. Pat. No. 4,258,542 based on bundle of fibrous elements. Disclosed is a bundle of fibrous elements, at least some of which are uneven in the thickness in the axial direction thereof namely some of which include thick portions having a larger sectional area and thin portion having a smaller sectional area. In these fibrous elements constituting the fibrous bundle, the thick portions have, in general, a higher dyeability than the thin portions, and in a fibrous bundle, these higher dyeability portions are formed substantially randomly at a distribution ratio of at least 300 portions per 10 cm of the length of the fibrous bundle. This fibrous bundle is characterized in that it apparently resembles a fibrous bundle composed of fibrous elements uniform in th thickness and dyeability. Also a process and apparatus for manufacturing such fibrous bundles are disclosed.
Document EP 0848094 describes a fancy yarn, based on a process where a filament yam which is not fully drawn in sections and with thick/thin zones is brought together with an effect filament over its whole length. The filament yarn is fully drawn into an affect yarn. Also claimed is an apparatus with at least one eddy jet or at least one winding spindle with a supply bobbin for effect filament where the filament are brought together, and a following drawing field for the combined yarn.
The combination of the two fibres is achieved through air blowing, and pressing one of the fibres over the other or by joint rewinding of both fibres in one bobbin.
The main characteristic of the above-described known methods for obtaining of fancy yarn is that they are performed during textile processing of already spun fibres after their combination by means of various methods in order to result in a new combined yarn, generally defined as some kind of a fancy yarn, i.e. using two fibres to obtain a yarn different by type from the source fibres after the application of one or a couple of additional, textile operations, using specially constructed technical means.
There is no known method for obtaining viscose filament rayon with irregular thickness where the cyclically deviated linear density is formed directly as early as the stage of spinning.
There is a technology for the production of viscose rayon which includes the following stages—
The stage of spinning is performed as the viscose solution from a main pipeline under pressure is passed for spinning in a viscose pipe collector to each spinning machine /10/, where by means of synchronously actuated dosing pumps equal quantities of the viscose solution from this viscose pipe collector are supplied to the spinnerets at each working position. The viscose solution then passes under pressure into a spin bath /11/ where as a result of the chemical reactions in course transforms into freshly-spun cellulose filament rayon fibers with a specified/linear density/thickness depending on the quantity of dozed viscose solution.
Leaving the spin bath the freshly-spun cellulose passes consecutively to the first /27-1 and then the second spinning devices /28-1/, and then it is arranged in the centrifuge /29-1,
In the production of dyed in mass viscose filament rayon to the ready for spinning viscose solution is added a preliminary prepared pigment suspension consisting of one or a couple of pigments/ 9,
This is followed by washing procedures /12/ where the freshly-spun viscose filament rayon rayon is treated with various solutions /13/to clear the residues of the spin bath, the sodium sulfate and sulfur resulted from the chemical reactions during spinning. The obtained semi-finished product is then dried /15/, conditioned /16/, rewound/17/, prepared for quality control inspection/18,19/ and packaging as a finished product finally.
Using this technology can be obtained white or dyed in mass viscose filament rayon, uniform in thickness notwithstanding the length of the fiber. This to some extent is regarded as a disadvantage because only a limited range of products is obtained, which could not live up to the demands of the textile industry for visually fancier yarns
There is an installation which puts into practice the above-described method of production of viscose filament rayon obtaining a product with uniform thickness/linear density/ (
In order to obtain dyed in mass viscose filament rayon m a connected to the spinning machine individual dyeing installation /10-1 from
The classically equipped spinning machine actuating is arranged by the use of two electric motors. First motor 40-1, powered by feeding unit 40-4, which through the first reduction gear 39-1 and the gear transmission system 39-3 is mechanically connected to the first spinning devices 27-1, second spinning devices 28-1 and power shaft 21 to which viscose solution dosing pumps 22 are joined.
The second electric motor 40-2, powered by the same feeding unit 40-4, through the second reduction gear 39-4 has a mechanical connection and transmits motion to the arranging device 39-5, which transfers already spun filament rayon to the centrifuge 29-1 of the spinning machine 10.
In this classically designed and well known installation, the spinning stage is carried out as the cellulose solution from a main pipeline /36—
Further, the viscose solution coming out from the spinnerets enters a spin bath/11/ where, as a result of the chemical reactions in course, transforms into rayon filament fibers. Leaving the spin bath, the freshly-spun cellulose as filament rayon fiber passes consecutively to the first /27-1/ and then the second spinning devices /28-1/after which it is arranged in the centrifuge/29-1. When the centrifuge is filled up to a definite volume, the fiber between the first and the second spinning device is interrupted and wound only on the first one. Meanwhile the centrifuge is stopped, the formed in it rayon cake is taken out, and the centrifuge is put into operation again. When the same is in operating mode the rayon filament fiber from the first spinning device is again transferred to the second spinning device and passed to the centrifuge, thus starting the production of the next rayon cake.
An important especially of classically equipped spinning machine is that its power feeding and the motors and the reduction gears actuation is constantly balanced during the time of the spinning process realization, i.e. the revolutions of the power shaft/21/ actuating the viscose dozing pumps /22/and those of the spinning devices (27-1 and 28-2) are mutually connected and in constant synchronization for the time of the whole spinning cycle for a definite type or rayon.
Thus in all working positions of one classically equipped spinning machine depending on the chosen adjustment viscose filament rayon with one and the same thickness /linear density/ will be produced.
The textile industry needs new types of fibers and yarns, which in contrast to the existing ones, would make the articles visually fancier.
The purpose of the present invention is to suggest a method for obtaining of viscose filament rayon with cyclically varying thickness/linear density/ and a product manufactured using this method, as well as an installation for the realization of the invented method, where fancy viscose filament rayon is obtained directly as early as the stage of the spinning of the rayon filament fiber without using additional stages or specially designed machines.
According to the invention a method for obtaining of viscose rayon filament yam with cyclically varying thickness/linear density is suggested, including the following stages/
According to the method of the invention, constantly synchronizated viscose, solution supplying/feeding/ and spinning devices actuation for a definite type of rayon is interrupted/
The viscose solution coming out from the spinnerets enters a spin bath/11/, where as a result of the chemical reactions in course transforms into rayon filament fibers.
Leaving the spin bath/11/the freshly-spun cellulose filament fibers are passed to the located at each working position first /27-1/and then second /28-1/ spinning devices, and then transported and arranged in the centrifuge at the same working position/29-1/. When the centrifuge is filled up to a specific volume, the filament fiber between the first and the second spinning devices is cut off and wound only on the first one. Meanwhile the centrifuge is stopped, the formed in it rayon cake is taken out, and the centrifuge is again put into operation. When the same is in operating mode, the fiber from the first spinning device is again transferred to the second one, and then passed into the centrifuge to obtain the next rayon cake.
This is followed by washing procedures where the freshly-spun viscose rayon is treated with various solutions to clear the residues of the spin bath, the sodium sulfate and sulfur resulted from the chemical reactions during spinning. The obtained semi-finished product is then dried, conditioned, rewound, prepared for quality control inspection and packaging as a finished product.
The method of production of dyed in mass viscose filament rayon with cyclically varying thickness/linear density involves mixing of the viscose solution with a preliminary prepared pigment suspension, consisting of one or a couple of pigments, homogenization of the mixture where the pigment particles are uniformly distributed throughout the entire volume of this solution, which afterwards is fed for spinning and the stages as above described process according to the invention followed by the next already known operations.
Thus after the interruption of the classical actuation of the power shaft and its transformation to actuation with an additionally mounted motor with loaded into new control unit program in all working positions simultaneously and synchronously viscose filament rayon is being spun with cyclically varying thickness/linear density.
The installation for the production of filament yarn with cyclically varying thickness/linear density—named flame viscose filament rayon) according to the invention includes the following stages and units consecutively connected as: mercerization unit, aging unit, unit for temperature reduction, a dosing unit for the amount of the alkali cellulose needed for the production of one batch of rayon; carbon-disulphide treatment unit, units for mixing of the cellulose solution from one batch to the one from the previous and the following batch to homogenization and for deaeration, filtering unit for removal of the impurities, a pipe collector to the spinning machine to which a range of working positions are added, each of them equipped with a first and a second spinning devices and a centrifuge where to obtain a rayon cake. In this arrangement, the first electric motor, through the first reduction gear and gear transmission system, is connected for actuation of the first and the second spinning devices, and the second electric motor powers the arranging device to the first centrifuge. The first and the second electric motors are powered by the first power feeding unit
According to the invention a second power feeding installation is added includes a new third electric motor powered b the new second power feeding unit, connected to an inverter control system, which through an additional reduction gear group is connected to the power shaft and actuating the viscose solution dosing pumps only.
In the control unit a preliminary invented operation program is set which defines the frequency and range of change of the revolutions of the power shaft actuating the viscose dozing pumps independently from the operation of the other spinning devices. The dozing pumps revolution deviations change the cellulose solution quantity supplied for spinning and, as a result of this, also the thickness; linear density of the spun rayon filament fiber. With the invented program and added new elements of the machine can be achieved cyclically repeating sections of the filament rayon with varying thickness and different length of the same, obtaining various effects in the freshly spun Viscose filament rayon directly during the spinning process which are stable in finished filament rayon itself and articles by its use done.
Further, freshly spun filament yarn with cyclically varying linear density is passing through already described following units: washing operations unit where the freshly-spun viscose rayon is treated with different solutions for removal of the impurities resulting from the spin bath and the chemical reactions during spinning, unit for centrifugation of the semi-finished product, drying unit, conditioning unit, rewinding unit, quality control unit (18,19) and storage unit (20).
The installation for the production of dyed M mass filament earn with cyclically varying thickness/linear density (flame viscose rayon), includes an added to the described up construction of the spinning machine an individual or group dyeing installation. It includes a storage tank for a preliminarily prepared pigment suspension, added pigment suspension dosing pump and a homogenizer connected to the existing viscose pipe collector from which through the dosing pumps the dyed in mass viscose solution is fed for spinning to the spinnerets of the spinning machine, to which are connected the above-described, according to the invention, first power feeding installation with its pertaining devices, and invented new second power feeding installation with its pertaining devices.
The only particularity in this installation is that the viscose solution from the main pipeline, before being passed to the viscose pipe collector, is fed to the homogenizer. Again in the homogenizer, the pigment suspension is introduced from the tank dosed by means of a pigment suspension dosing pump. The viscose solution and the suspension are mixed and homogenized, and then passed to the viscose pipe collector part of spinning machine. From there the already dyed solution by the use of viscose dosing pumps is fed for spinning to the spinnerets. The dyed in mass viscose solution coming out from the spinnerets enters a spin bath, where as a result the chemical reactions in course is transformed in fibers. Considering that the revolutions of the power shaft are not constant but are under changes depending on the program set in the control unit, the final result of this spinning according to the invention is dyed in mass viscose filament yarn with cyclically varying linear density/thickness so called (flame) dyed in mass filament rayon.
Leaving the spin bath, the freshly-spun cellulose as filament fibers passes consecutively to the first and the the second spinning device, and then arranged in the centrifuge. When the centrifuge is filled up to a specific volume, the fiber between the first and the second spinning devices for each working position is interrupted and wound only on the first spinning device. Meanwhile the centrifuge is stopped, the formed in it rayon cake is taken out, and the centrifuge is again put into operation. When the same enters in operating mode, the fiber from the first spinning device is again transferred to the second one and then passed into the centrifuge to start the production of the next rayon cake.
This is followed by washing procedures where the freshly-spun viscose filament rayon with cyclically varying thickness is treated with various solutions to clear the residues of the spin bath, the sodium sulfate and sulfur resulted from the chemical reactions during spinning. The obtained semi-finished product is then dried, conditioned, rewound, quality control and packaging as a finished product.
The same installation and method are applicable in the production of bicolour filament rayon with cyclically varying thickness/linear density (flame) viscose rayon. This installation, according to the invention, includes an added to the first a second pipe collector for viscose, powered by the same motor actuating the first and operating synchronously with it. The second viscose pipe collector is connected to a second individually operating dyeing installation, as the dosing pumps supplying viscose for spinning to the spinnerets, for each pair of working positions are fed with viscose for spinning from the separate viscose pipe collectors in the following way: a dosing pump at the first working position is supplied with viscose from the first pipe collector, and the neighbouring one, i.e. second working position dosing pump, is fed with viscose by the second pipe collector. The same is then repeated for each successive pair of working positions. Thus, on the half of the neighbouring working positions a viscose solution in one colour is spun, and on the rest—a viscose solution in a different colour, thus obtaining differently dyed viscose filament fiber. Due to the program set in the control unit, apart from being coloured differently, the filament fibers will also be with cyclically varying thickness/linear density.
In addition, according to the invention, the spun on the neighbouring working positions differently dyed in mass rayon filament fiber instead of being separately taken by the first and second spinning devices are joined together only to the first spinning device of first working positions. After that, the two differently dyed and already combined fibers are transferred together to the second spinning device at the first working position and then to the centrifuge at the same first working position. The result of this innovative way of spinning is that the bicolor and (flame) filament yarn is obtained directly as early as the stage of the first spinning device and later a viscose filament rayon with cyclically varying thickness linear density and dyed in two colours as cake is taken out from centrifuge.
The application of this innovative scheme of power shaft actuating enables a scheduled change in the quantity of the supplied for spinning cellulose solution independently from the operation of the other spinning devices, and respectively a cyclically changes of the linear density/thickness/ of the viscose rayon filament fiber.
An advantage of the method and installation suggested is the direct production of raw white bright or dyed in mass viscose filament rayon with cyclical variation of its linear density/thickness, i.e. flame viscose filament rayon.
The installation for the production of raw white bright or dyed in mass viscose filament rayon presented on
Unit 9, for the preparation of a dyeing suspension and unit 10-1 for viscose solution dyeing could be connected to spinning machine 10 if dyed in mass rayon filament rayon have to be produced. After the spinning, the freshly-spun viscose rayon is treated in unit 12 with various solutions, prepared in unit 13 to remove the residues from the spin bath and chemical reactions after the spinning.
Further, following the technology serially connected are units 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 for centrifugation, drying, conditioning, rewinding, quality control inspection and packing as finished production 19 to be stored in unit 20.
In order to obtain dyed in mass filament rayon, to the spinning machine 10 an individual dyeing installation 10-1 is connected. As shown in
According to
Thus, the actuation of the power shaft 21 is performed independently from the powering of the spinning devices 27-1 and 28-1. In accordance with the program set in the control units 42 and 40-7, a change of the revolutions of the power shaft takes place—when the number of revolutions is higher, a greater amount of viscose is being dosed, so the fiber spun will be thicker. Oppositely when the number of power shaft revolutions is lower, a smaller amount of the solution to be spun will result in a thinner fiber. The result from the alternation—higher/lower solution fed for spinning, according to the invented method and program set in control unit 42, is the production of viscose filament rayon with a cyclically varying thickness/linear density/without the number of filaments changes.
Example if the classical scheme of spinning devices including power shaft actuating is under use the spinning will run with constant quantity of viscose solution dozed from dozing pumps and transferred from local pipe collector to the spinnerets for spinning. This quantity supplied for spinning will be around 22 grams per minute and is a constant for the whole production cycle of 33.0 tex for example. The result of this classical production behaviour, where power shaft and other spinning devices actuation is strongly connected is production of 33.0 tex with actual count between 33.4 till 35.3 because of centrifugal way of spinning presented on
If actuating scheme is under use and actuating of power shaft is independent from other spinning devises according innovation and program in control unit 42 set power shaft revolutions could be cyclically changed from 8 to 24 turns and respectively the quantity of viscose solution fed for spinning will cyclically range between 7 and 30 grams per minute. The result of this innovative way of viscose solution dozing for winning is production of 33.0 tex filament rayon with cyclically vanilla thickness between 18.0 till 35.0 tex presented on
In the production of dyed in mass viscose filament rayon with cyclically varying thickness, the prepared viscose solution from pipeline 37 before being fed under pressure through flow meter 33 in the pipe collector 38 of the spinning machine is supplied to the homogenizer 32 of the installation for the production of dyed in mass viscose filament rayon. The preliminarily prepared pigment suspension, which for the time of the production cycle is stored in tank 30 (
Further, the installation operates in the already known way: in unit 12 the freshly-spun viscose filament rayon is treated with various solutions prepared in unit 13 for removal of the residues of the spin bath, the sodium sulfate and sulfur resulted from the chemical reactions during spinning.
The obtained semi-finished product is centrifuged, conditioned rewound and prepared for quality control inspection and packaging as finished production—units 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and after quality inspection stored in unit 20.
In control unit 42 can be installed various programs for the operation control of the third electric motor 40-3, which practically enhances the possibilities for production of different types of viscose filament rayon with cyclically variation of thickness, i.e. differently (flamed).
With the new product, a wide range of items is created of a new fancy article preparing—viscose filament rayon yarn with cyclically variation of the linear density /thickness/ along the fiber length with unique effects.
