The device for singling-out of fibres, especially for spinning units of the open-end spinning machines
Technical field
The device for singling-out of fibres especially for the spinning units of the open-end spinning machines comprising the opening roller arranged in the cavity of a body of singling-out device, while between the surface of perimeter of the opening roller and the inner surface of the cavity of the body there is performed a feeding channel of singled-out fibres into which between the feeding channel of the fibre sliver delivery device and the exhaust channel of impurities there opens an auxiliary inlet channel of compressed air connectable to the source of compressed air
Background art
The initial process of processing the fibre sliver in the singling-out device of the spinning unit represents the main source of impurities that are brought into the spinning unit of the open-end spinning machines.
Once the spinning on a certain spinning unit is interrupted, feeding of fibre sliver into the singling-out device is stopped, while rotation of the opening roller goes on. At the same time the parts of fibres from the sliver end (so called beard) pressed by the standing delivery device are being combed and broken off up to a total combing of the beard while the fibres, their fragments and dust particles are accumulated in the spinning rotor.
Impurities arising during the attending activities connected with interruption of spinning are being removed by a compressed air from a source positioned on the attending device, which is attached to this place in time of attending the operating unit of the spinning machine, or by means of a suitable instrument upon a manual attending. Before commencement of the spinning-in process itself, the spinning rotor is cleaned in this manner and the fibres combed of the sliver beard including the fragments and dust particles are brought outside the spinning rotor into the exhaust vacuum channel of the

spinning machine. At the same time the dust impurities from the accessible sections of the spinning unit are removed.
DE OS 3436295 solves such unrepeated periodic cleaning before renewal of spinning by modification of exhaust channel and implementation of suction tube connected to the source of vacuum.
According to the WO 86/01235 into the feeding channel of singling-out device behind the inlet channel bringing fibres into the spinning rotor there is positioned an auxiliary exhaust channel connectable to the source of vacuum in time of delivery of fibre sliver, through which the fibres are being exhausted.
According to the CZ 280036 a stream of compressed air acts upon the surface of the opening roller before the spinning rotor is started. The direction of this stream is the same as the direction of rotation of the opening roller while the mouth of blowing out openings, through which the compressed air enters the fibre feeding channel, lies between the place of fibre sliver delivery to the opening roller and the mouth of the feeding channel of singled out fibres into the spinning rotor.
PV 2004-15051 positions into openings, through which the auxiliary inlet channel of compressed air leads into the fibre feeding channel the insertion made of material penetrable for air, thus preventing clogging of these openings during singling-out process of fibres
Clogging and pollution of inner space of singling-out device, especially of openings for blowing out of fibres before the spinning-in process itself nevertheless occur continuously during the whole period of operation of the spinning machine when into the blowing out openings the compressed air is not being brought and when the dust and the fibre fragments deposit gradually in the cross-section of blowing out openings and in the auxiliary inlet channel of compressed air. After a certain period of operation of operating unit this causes clogging of blowing out openings and considerable worsening in quality of piecing and decreasing in efficiency of spinning-in process. After then a complete cleaning of spinning unit is necessary, especially of blowing out openings e.g. through some of above mentioned methods.
The intention of the technical solution is to remove or considerably decrease the shortcomings of the present state of the art.

The principle of invention
The principle of the device for singling out of fibres according to the technical solution, especially for spinning units of the open-end spinning machines consists in that the auxiliary inlet channel of compressed air is connected with ambient atmosphere through the suction channel comprising a one-way suction valve.
The substantial feature of me technical solution is that the suction oneway valve contains the locking element equipped with a spring, the seat lockable by means of a locking element and the stop of locking element, when the pre-stressed spring by one ot its end is leaned against a section of the body of singling-out device and by its second end it is leaned against a section of locking element being reversed from the stop, and between the stop of the locking element and after it continuing suction channel there is performed constantly opened suction cross-section
In another advantageous embodiment the one-way valve comprises the locking element formed by a flat spring, which by its one end is attached to the body of singling-out device, while its second end is deflected from the inlet opening of the suction channel and it may be tilted over this inlet opening as a result of increased pressure :n an auxiliary air inlet channel, while in the tilted over position the flat spring overlaps the iniet opening of the suction channel.
The advantage of the proposed technical solution is a self-acting suction of an air from an ambient atmosphere by acting of vacuum in chamber of the opening roller in the time of operation of ine operating unit which considerably reduces possibility of sedimentation of impurities in blowing out openings of an auxiliary air inlet channel during spinning or singling out of fibres while during acting of compressed air from the temporarily connected source of pressure the suction opening closes automatically, which prevents the losses of compressed air and undesired blowing out of compressed air into vicinity of the operating unit.
