HOUSING FOR SPINDLES OF TEXTILE MACHINE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC D01H1/16 D01H1/24 

FIELD: textile engineering.

SUBSTANCE: housing has guard mounted on spindle bar of textile machine, at the level of spindles, along row of spindles and provided with vertical detachable cover and vibration-absorbing layer fixed to guard inner surface and sound-absorbing layer. Guard consists of upper part and lower part, each of said parts having body made from sheet angular members with apex angle of 90 deg. Sheet members are rigidly attached to spindle bar upper and lower parts. Thickness of vibration-absorbing layer fixed to plates exceeds thickness of body plates and cover by 2-4 times. Housing parts are fixed on textile machine by means of rubber layers having total rigidity lower than that of vibration-isolating spindle hanger. Vibration-absorbing material is elastic vibration-absorbing sheet material having intrinsic loss coefficient of at least 0.2, or composite material, or plasticized rubber. Sound-absorbing material of guard has members made from basalt-based mineral wool, or mineral wool, or basalt-based wool, or glass wool lined with glass felt, or foamed polymer such as polyethylene or polypropylene. Sound-absorbing member is lined with acoustically transparent material such as glass cloth or polymer applied onto its entire surface. Sound-absorbing material for guard may be made from soft foamed porous sound-absorbing material such as polyurethane foam, or polyethylene foam, or rigid porous sound-absorbing material such as foam aluminum. Sound-absorbing material for guard may be made in the form of crumbs of solid vibration-damping materials such as elastomer, polyurethane or plasticized rubber, said crumbs being placed within enclosure of sound-conducting material. Crumb fraction has sizes ranging between 0.3 mm and 2.5 mm.

EFFECT: increased efficiency in reducing of noise created by rotating spindles.
