Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of textile equipment, in particular to a wide-width piece shuttle loom with controllable weft insertion speed and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the existing electromagnetic weft insertion technology, the piece shuttle is usually made of a metal non-magnetic conductor. In an alternating magnetic field, the piece shuttle first generates an induced current, and then generates a magnetic field. Then, the piece shuttle and the external electromagnetic coil generate a magnetic field effect, realizing the driving, braking and suspension of the piece shuttle. However, this process involves complex calculation and control. The magnetic field strength generated by the piece shuttle cannot be directly obtained, and needs to be calculated through two conversions of magnetic generation and electric generation, that is, the induced current generated by the piece shuttle in the alternating magnetic field is calculated first. The calculation process involves the change of the magnetic field and the speed of the piece shuttle. Then, the induced magnetic field is calculated through the induced current, so as to obtain the strength of the magnetic field generated by the piece shuttle. The calculation process is relatively complex and the calculation accuracy is not high, so that the speed of the piece shuttle is uncontrollable. In addition, the driving of the piece shuttle is carried out on the track. Although the problems of large impact and large noise of the traditional twisted shaft projection are solved, the friction during driving still exists, so that the application range of the piece shuttle weft insertion is relatively narrow.

[0003] At present, in the field of wide-width piece shuttle looms, the common solution to realize wider width is to increase the launching speed of the piece shuttle. The greater the speed, the farther the distance the piece shuttle flies in a short time. For the traditional twisted shaft projection piece shuttle loom, the impact bearing capacity of the piece shuttle has a certain upper limit due to the limitation of the material strength of the piece shuttle, causing the limitation of the speed, and the width is difficult to continue to increase. For the newly emerging electromagnetic projection technology, greater speed means that greater current is needed, and the carrying capacity of the coil also has an upper limit. The current that can be passed is also limited, and the projection speed cannot continue to be improved. The width is limited. At the same time, passing a larger current will also generate more heat. In addition, for weft, faster speed will also cause weft breakage to occur more easily, so that faster launching speed will also limit the strength of weft, and can only be used for weft with greater strength.

[0049] A control method of a wide-width piece shuttle loom with controllable weft insertion speed, the control method includes the following steps:

[0050] Firstly, the three-axis moving chuck 3 at the head end sucks the sheet shuttle 1 and moves the sheet shuttle 1 to the upper side of the weft insertion rail 2, at this time, the superconductor 105 is in a static suspension state under the action of the permanent magnet array track 201, then the electromagnetic coil array track 202 is controlled to pass current to generate a traveling wave magnetic field, the traveling wave magnetic field interacts with the permanent magnet array 103 on both sides of the sheet shuttle 1 to provide driving force for the sheet shuttle 1, and the sheet shuttle 1 is pulled forward, when the sheet shuttle 1 moves to the upper side of the weft insertion rail 2, the electromagnetic coil array track 202 passes current in the opposite direction, the electromagnetic coil array track 202 interacts with the permanent magnet array 103 on both sides of the sheet shuttle 1 to provide braking force for the sheet shuttle 1, the sheet shuttle 1 slows down until it hovers, then the three-axis moving chuck 3 at the tail end sucks the sheet shuttle 1 and places the sheet shuttle 1 on the synchronous belt 4, the synchronous belt 4 transports the sheet shuttle 1 to the three-axis moving chuck 3 at the head end, during the transportation process, liquid nitrogen is injected into the dewar container 102 through the through hole 106 to cool the superconductor 105, finally the three-axis moving chuck 3 at the head end moves the sheet shuttle 1 to the upper side of the weft insertion rail 2 to perform the next weft insertion.

[0051] The principle of the present application is described as follows:

[0052] The sheet shuttle designed in the present application makes the whole weft insertion process, including the throwing of the shuttle, the weft insertion and the stopping of the shuttle, be completed in the suspension process, eliminating the friction with the rail during the throwing of the shuttle in other solutions, and the sheet shuttle in the present application is provided with permanent magnet arrays on both sides, when the sheet shuttle is in the traveling wave magnetic field, the permanent magnet arrays interact with the traveling wave magnetic field to provide the sheet shuttle with a backward motion force, and can reverse the action to brake when the weft insertion is about to be completed, the driving and braking processes of the sheet shuttle do not need complex control, the electromagnetic force received by the sheet shuttle does not need complex conversion calculation, only the magnetic field strength generated by the electromagnetic coil needs to be calculated according to the current, and then the electromagnetic force between the electromagnetic and the permanent magnet on the sheet shuttle can be calculated.

[0053] The bottom of the piece shuttle is designed with a YBCO (yttrium barium copper oxide) superconductor array. The pinning effect of the superconductor enables the superconductor to lock the magnetic flux line inside the superconductor when it is cooled in a magnetic field environment. This feature ensures that the superconductor can achieve stable vertical and lateral suspension on the permanent magnet array track. After the superconductor is placed in a magnetic field and cooled by liquid nitrogen, the superconductor enters a superconducting state. The internal magnetic field of the superconductor is slightly different from that before cooling, but the external magnetic field of the superconductor is basically not affected. That is, as long as there is no relative movement between the superconductor and the permanent magnet, the superconductor will not be affected by the magnetic force. If the superconductor is released, it will move towards the permanent magnet under the influence of gravity. At this time, the interaction between the superconductor and the permanent magnet is repulsive force, which prevents it from moving towards the permanent magnet. When the repulsive force and the gravity are equal, the equilibrium position is reached, and the vertical suspension is achieved. When the piece shuttle moves laterally, the magnetic field in which the lower superconductor is located will also shift. Due to the magnetic flux pinning property of the superconductor, the magnetic flux line is bound inside the superconductor, hindering the change of the magnetic flux line, which macroscopically becomes a restraining force opposite to the direction of the superconductor offset, hindering the lateral offset of the superconductor, thereby achieving stable suspension of the superconductor.
