An air jet spinning machine and a drafting system unit for a spinning unit produce a thread or roving from a supplied fiber strip, with a front roller pair including a front top roller on a load carrier and a driven front bottom roller on a bottom roller carrier, and a bearing element arranged on the bottom roller carrier for movably bearing an air jet spinning nozzle. A reliable pivotable air jet spinning nozzle which can be released from the bottom roller carrier is implemented by the bottom roller carrier including a bearing element having a free end, for receiving the air jet spinning nozzle, wherein the bearing element forms a pivot axis for pivoting the air jet spinning nozzle between an operating position and a second position, wherein the bearing element is connected to a portion spaced apart from the free end on the bottom roller carrier.

Method for cleaning an air jet spinning device of a spinning station, an air jet spinning device and a thread-forming unit for an air jet spinning device. The air jet spinning device has a thread-forming unit having a thread-forming element arranged in a vortex chamber of a nozzle unit, and a nozzle unit having at least one air nozzle orientated towards the vortex chamber such that an air flow exiting the air nozzle impinges on the sliver in the vortex chamber with a rotation flow. The thread-forming unit has an element carrier for detachably receiving and releasing the thread-forming element or, alternatively or in addition, can be linearly shifted in conjunction with the air jet spinning device relative to the nozzle unit between a closed operating position and an open cleaning position, and the air jet spinning device can be linearly shifted and/or pivoted in the cleaning position.

A textile machine for producing cross-wound packages, which has a plurality of workstations on the two longitudinal sides of the machine and is equipped with a tube magazine arranged at an end of the machine, the tube magazine having a plurality of empty-tube transport rows, driven by electric motor and loaded with empty tubes of different yarn lots. In order to avoid the fixed division of the empty-tube transport rows that hitherto was defined by the construction of the tube magazine and thus to avoid limited variations in the yarn lot management, the invention provides for the empty-tube transport rows to be equipped with electric drives, which are connected to a control unit of the textile machine, the machine control system being designed in such a way that different lot management programs are set by software.

Textile machine producing cross-wound packages

A textile machine producing cross-wound packages with a plurality of identical workstations which are arranged in the area of the longitudinal sides of the textile machine and each of which has a winding device, and equipped with a tube supply device which includes a central tube magazine and at least one tube conveyor belt installed in the area of the longitudinal sides of the machine, in which case a cross-wound package can be removed, if necessary, from the winding device of the relevant workstation on the textile machine producing cross-wound packages and can be transferred to a cross-wound package transport device running the length of the machine, and an empty tube provided on the tube conveyor belt of the tube supply device can be inserted by means of a tube gripper into the winding device of the relevant workstation. The tube supply device is designed in such a way that the tube conveyor belt can be used as a tube accumulator for empty tubes during the operation of the textile machine producing cross-wound packages. In order to improve the efficiency of such a textile machine producing cross-wound packages, in particular to minimize significantly the tube delivery times arising in the event of yarn lot changes at a textile machine producing cross-wound packages, a drive is connected to the at least one tube conveyor belt, which drive enables reversible operation of the tube conveyor belt.

Textile machine producing cross-wound packages and method for operating a textile machine producing cross-wound packages

A textile machine for producing cross-wound packages, the machine being equipped with a plurality of workstations arranged next to one another on both longitudinal sides of the machine and having a cross-wound package transport apparatus. The cross-wound package transport apparatus has a first transport device, arranged between the two rows of workstations for conveying cross-wound packages, and a handling apparatus for moving cross-wound packages from the first transport device to the second transport device. The handling apparatus is arranged between the end regions of the first transport device.

A textile machine for producing cross-wound packages, comprising a plurality of workstations, each of which has at least one pneumatic consumer, and comprising a suction system which has at least one vacuum source to which the pneumatic consumers of the workstations are connected via a machine-length vacuum duct arranged in the region of the central axis between two rows of workstations. In order to modify such a textile machine producing cross-wound packages in such a way that it is ensured that the required minimum spinning vacuum is always available at all workstations of the textile machine during spinning operation, according to the invention the textile machine producing cross-wound packages has, in addition to the vacuum duct, a machine-length bypass duct which is also installed in the region of the central axis and is arranged above chain ducts for service units.

A tube storage and transport device for a textile machine producing cross-wound packages, which has a plurality of similar workstations arranged side-by-side on both longitudinal machine sides, having a central tube magazine and two empty-tube conveyor belts arranged in the region of the longitudinal machine sides is provided. To improve the known tube storage and transport devices, and in particular to optimize the clock times that can be achieved during the empty-tube delivery, the tube magazine has at least two elevator units, that the elevator units have stacked and vertically displaceable holders for empty tubes, that the holders are designed for the empty tubes to be set down in a manner oriented the longitudinal direction of the machine, and that each of the elevator units is connected to one of the empty-tube conveyor belts and is designed in such a way that empty tubes are removed from the elevator units from the longitudinal machine side and transferred onto the empty-tube conveyor belts.
