The invention discloses an opening mechanism and a weaving
machine, the opening mechanism comprises a heald frame array, the heald frame array comprises a plurality of heald frames distributed along a first direction array; the support is used for being connected with a rack of the weaving
machine; the linear driving module comprises at least two sets of linear driving units, each linear driving unit comprises a plurality of direct driving units, each direct driving unit comprises a
stator module and a rotor module, the
stator modules are connected to the support, and the rotor modules are in sliding fit with the
stator modules. Each heald frame is connected to the rotor module of the corresponding direct drive unit, so that each rotor module drives the corresponding heald frame to reciprocate up and down, the direct drive units in each group of
linear drive units extend in the second direction and are sequentially arranged in a staggered manner in the first direction, and the direct drive units in each group of
linear drive units are arranged in a staggered manner in the second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. According to the technical scheme, the shedding mechanism can directly and freely adjust the running
stroke and state of the heald frame, and is simple and reliable in structure and stable in performance.
