METHOD FOR OPERATING A TEXTILE MACHINE WITH HANDLING ELEMENTS OF THEIR OWN WORK STATION FOR THE PIECING OF A THREAD AND A TEXTILE MACHINE WITH HANDLING ELEMENTS OF THEIR OWN WORK STATION

摘要

With a method for operating a textile machine, in particular a spinning machine (1), with a multiple number of work stations (2) arranged next to each other, each work station (2), as a work element (3, 28, 4, 10, 16, 17, 18), features at least one spinning unit (3) with a spinning device (28) and/or one winding device (4) and handling elements (10, 16, 17, 18) of their own work station for piecing the thread (F) or for connecting two thread ends (6). If production is interrupted, a thread end (6) on the bobbin side is provided in a defined receiving position (A) at the work station (2). For piecing a thread (F) or for connecting the thread ends (6), the thread end (6) on the bobbin side is cut to length by work elements (3, 28, 4, 10, 16, 17, 18) of the work station (2), in particular the handling elements (10, 16, 17, 18) of their own work station, received from the receiving position (A), prepared for piecing or for connecting and pieced up or connected. A thread end (6) wound on the bobbin (5) is sought out by means of a thread seeking device (7) on the surface of the bobbin (5) deliverable by means of multiple work stations (2) of the textile machine, and the thread end (6) is subsequently moved into the receiving position (A) at the work station (2), from which it is received by a work element (3, 28, 4, 10, 16, 17, 18) of the work station (2), in particular by a handling element (10, 16, 17, 18) of its own work station. A corresponding textile machine features at least one thread seeking device (7) movable in the area of multiple work stations (2) of the textile machine, with a suction nozzle (12) subjected to negative pressure. At least one transfer element (13) is provided for moving the thread end (6) that is sought out from the suction nozzle (12) to the receiving position (A) at the work station
