Claims
- 1. A ring twisting and winding machine comprising:a) a function programmer having: (i) an electronic control card for controlling working parameters of the unitary production module; (ii) a keyboard for introducing the working parameters; and (iii) a display for displaying the working parameters, said working parameters including feeding speed, speed and sequence of movement of the raing rail unit and the speed and turning direction of said spindle; b) an electric rack comprising electric control elements, said electric control elements including at least one frequency variator; c) a spindle unit for twisting and winding a thread on a bobbin, d) a first electric motor for driving said spindle unit, the first electric motor being connected to a first said frequency variator, such that a first real turning speed is controlled by said function programmer and said first frequency variator; e) an inductive detector of said first electric motor, said inductive detector enabling the function programmer to read said first real turning speed of said first electric motor; f) a ring rail unit for vertically reciprocating a ring holder support and a control ring support; g) a feeding unit to supply thread to said spindle unit at a regular linear speed; h) a module frame comprising a plurality of steel plates, with a bend in the lower parts of the steel plates, to house module supports and module leveling elements; and i) a second electric motor controlled by a second frequency variator, said second electric motor driving the ring rail unit, said second electric motor determining a linear speed and course length of the ring rail unit, said second electric motor having a pulse counter for reading a second real turning speed of the second electric motor and for transmitting the second real turning to the function programmer, the second frequency variator being controlled by the function programmer and receiving function programmer indications from a plurality of inductive detectors about vertical positions of the supports, the ring rail unit further being for guiding the thread for winding the thread onto the bobbin.
- 2. The machine of claim 1, wherein the linear speed of the feeding unit is controlled by a plurality of cylinders driven by a third electric motor with a third real turning speed determined by a third frequency variator, said third frequency variator being controlled by said function programmer receiving indications about said third real turning speed from a pulse detector.
- 3. The machine of claim 2, wherein the electric control elements control said first electric motor, said second electric motor, and said third electric motor in said machine.
- 4. The machine according to claim 1, wherein the steel plates are united to each other by round steel bars screwed to the steel plates, an inferior platform, and a horizontal bed plate of a steel foil bent in a u shaped form, and wherein the module frame supports and encloses the function programmer, the electric rack, the spindle unit, the ring rail unit, and the feeding unit thereby forming a unitary production module, and wherein the plates allow adjacent modules to join each other with screws and intermediate connection pieces.
- 5. The machine according to claim 1, wherein the machine is assembled forming diverse plant configurations by assembling together each said unitary production module to adjacent said unitary production modules, with intermediate connection pieces between said steel plates, wherein said diverse plant configuratiosn are linear, open or close polygonal.
- 6. The machine according to claim 5, wherein said unitary production modules are autonomous and independent from each other, said unitary production modules individually processing threads of different materials and dimensional characteristics in order to simultaneously produce bobbins of diverse diameters, heights, and folding forms, depending on thread type and the working parameters introduced int the function programmer.
- 7. The machine of claim 1, further comprising:a) a function master programmer; and b) a communication bus, wherein the function master programmer and the communication bus allow a plurality of said unitary production modules to be programmed simultaneously with similar working parameters.
