Textile machine and service cart for textile machines

Abstract

The present invention relates to a textile machine having a plurality of workstations of the same type, which produce packages, more particularly cross-wound packages, and having one thread accumulator each and at least one service cart, which can be moved along the workstations. The present invention also relates to a service cart for a textile machine. In order to provide a textile machine having a plurality of workstations having thread accumulators, in the case of which textile machine fault states that occur in connection with the thread accumulator can be automatically eliminated, there is provision for the service cart to have malfunction-eliminating devices for automatically eliminating fault states that occur in the thread accumulator and/or can be attributed to the thread accumulator.

1 . A textile machine having a plurality of workstations of the same type, which produce packages, and each of which comprises one thread accumulator and at least one service cart, which is movable along the workstations,
 characterised in that   the service cart has malfunction-eliminating devices for automatically eliminating fault states that occur in the thread accumulator and/or is attributable to the thread accumulator.   
     
     
         2 . The textile machine according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the malfunction-eliminating devices comprise a cleaning unit for removing thread remnants from the thread accumulator. 
     
     
         3 . The textile machine according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the malfunction-eliminating devices comprise an optical inspection device for checking the thread accumulator. 
     
     
         4 . The textile machine according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the service cart comprises a thread joining device. 
     
     
         5 . The textile machine according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the thread joining device has a thread-seeking nozzle and manipulator for positioning the free thread end in the area of a thread joiner. 
     
     
         6 . The textile machine according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the thread joining device is designed to arrange the free thread end at a piecing position of the workstation. 
     
     
         7 . The textile machine according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the service cart comprises thread inspection devices. 
     
     
         8 . A service cart for a textile machine according to  claim 1 , characterised by malfunction-eliminating devices for automatically eliminating fault states that occur in the thread accumulator and/or is attributable to the thread accumulator. 
     
     
         9 . The textile machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the packages are cross-wound packages. 
     
     
         10 . The textile machine according to  claim 5 , wherein the thread joiner is a splicing and/or knotting unit. 
     
     
         11 . The textile machine according to  claim 7 , wherein the thread inspection devices are optically acting thread inspection devices.
