WINDING STATION WITH MAGAZINE FOR EMPTY TUBES LOCATED UNDER THE WINDING MECHANISM

摘要

The present invention relates to a winding station for winding textile yarn onto empty tubes, comprising: - a winding mechanism (1 ) comprising two flanges (2) for gripping the ends of said tube (8), each flange mounted on a pivoted winding arm (6) , which arms position the empty tube in contact with a driving roller (14) , such that the longitudinal axis of the empty tube is above the longitudinal axis of the driving roller (14) , - a stationary, linear magazine (4) with a filling end (5) and a feeding end (7) , wherein - the filling end (5) and the feeding end of the magazine (4) are below the level of the flanges (2) , and - the filling end is above feeding end such that magazine (4) is inclined at angle, alpha, of less than or equal to 45 deg, - a lifting mechanism (11 ) comprising a pivoted arm terminating in a tube carrier (10) , which tube carrier (10) is configured to bring an empty tube from the feeding end of the magazine (4) to a space between the flanges (2) by an arc movement of the arm (9) . It further relates to and a winding assembly.
