Winding machine

Abstract

A winding machine winds a plurality of threads to form a plurality of spools, including at least one winding spindle having a plurality of winding points arranged along the winding spindle. Each of the winding points has one of a plurality of traversing units for guiding the threads back and forth, wherein the traversing units are retained adjacent to each other in a machine frame by a traversing plate. For stabilization, the traversing plate has, on one side, a tubular beam arranged at a distance, which tubular beam is rigidly connected to the traversing plate at the ends of the tubular beam. In order to avoid natural vibrations, at least one damping element is provided between the ends of the tubular beam, by means of which damping element the traversing plate is supported with respect to the tubular beam.

A winding machine for winding a plurality of yarns to form a plurality of bobbins, having at least one winding spindle and a plurality of winding positions which are disposed along the winding spindle, wherein each of the winding positions has one of a plurality of traversing units for guiding the yarns to and fro, wherein the traversing units are held beside one another by a traversing plate in a machine frame, and wherein the traversing plate on one side has a tubular beam which is disposed so as to be spaced apart and which at the ends thereof is fixedly connected to the traversing plate, and wherein at least one damping element by way of which the traversing plate is supported in relation to the tubular beam is provided between the ends of the tubular beam, on the side of the traversing plate. 
     
     
         2 . Winding machine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the damping element is disposed in a central region of the traversing plate. 
     
     
         3 . Winding machine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the tubular beam extends substantially across a total length (L) of the traversing plate, at least across 90% of the total length (L) of the traversing plate. 
     
     
         4 . Winding machine as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the total length (L) of the traversing plate is in the range of 1.5 m to 2.5 m. 
     
     
         5 . Winding machine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of damping elements, which are held so as to be distributed in a mutually spaced-apart manner in the central region of the tubular beam, are disposed between the tubular beam and the traversing plate. 
     
     
         6 . Winding machine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the damping element is formed by a rubber buffer. 
     
     
         7 . Winding machine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the traversing plate at the ends is held in each case on the machine frame by a pivot bearing. 
     
     
         8 . Winding machine as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the pivot bearing is configured on a movable roller support for receiving a contact roller, wherein the traversing plate is supported on the roller support. 
     
     
         9 . A winding machine to wind a plurality of yarns to form a plurality of bobbins, the winding machine comprising:
 a set of winding spindles, each winding spindle defining winding positions which are disposed along the winding spindle,   a plurality of traversing units, each traversing unit residing at a winding position to guide a respective yarn to and fro,   a traversing plate that holds the traversing units beside one another in a machine frame,   a tubular beam on one side of the traversing plate disposed so as to be spaced apart and which at the ends thereof is fixedly connected to the traversing plate, and   a set of damping elements by way of which the traversing plate is supported in relation to the tubular beam, each damping element being provided between the ends of the tubular beam, on the side of the traversing plate.
