[0023] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the accompanying drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and overall technical solution of the present invention, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2, the utility model embodiment of a weft-breaking automatic stop device for an air-jet loom comprises a mounting plate 1, a support frame 2 of an N-shaped structure is fixedly provided in the middle of the top side of the mounting plate 1, and a monitoring device is provided on the inner side of the support frame 2; the monitoring component comprises a slide bar 3 slidably connected to the inside of the support frame 2, a limit plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the slide bar 3, a first mounting frame 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide bar 3, a first roller 6 installed on the inner side of the first mounting frame 5 and a pressure sensor 7 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 2 and located below the limit plate 4. The bottom of the center of the surface of the first roller 6 contacts the weft thread. Two symmetrical rollers are provided on the top of the mounting plate 1 and on both sides of the support frame 2. The guide assembly is used to support the weft thread. Specifically, when the weft thread passes through the bottom of the first roller 6 and moves, the normal weft thread can support the first roller 6 so that the limit plate 4 on the top of the slide bar 3 is located above the pressure sensor 7. When the weft thread breaks, the first roller 6 loses the support of the weft thread and moves downward. The moving first roller 6 synchronously drives the limit plate 4 to move and contact the pressure sensor 7. The trigger signal of the pressure sensor 7 can be used as a stop command to control the air jet loom to stop running, realizing the automatic stop operation of the air jet loom when the weft breaks, effectively preventing the weaving quality problems caused by weft breakage, and has a simple structure and strong practicality, which is conducive to a wide range of applications on air jet looms.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The guide assembly consists of a second mounting frame 8 fixed to the top of the mounting plate 1 and a second roller 9 installed on the inner side of the second mounting frame 8. The center tops of the surfaces of the two second rollers 9 are in contact with the weft. Specifically, the weft is passed through the top of the second roller 9. Under the action of the second roller 9, the moving weft can be guided and the weft can be better supported, so that the weft can support the first roller 6.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top and one side of the outer side of the support frame 2 are respectively fixedly connected with an audible and visual alarm 15 and a controller 16. The pressure sensor 7 and the audible and visual alarm 15 are electrically connected to the controller 16. Specifically, after the air jet loom is electrically connected to the controller 16, when the signal triggered by the pressure sensor 7 is transmitted to the controller 16, the controller 16 can control the audible and visual alarm 15 to operate and emit an audible and visual alarm according to the received signal, so as to remind the operator to deal with it in time. The synchronous controller 16 controls the operating status of the air jet loom to stop the air jet loom.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4A pressing assembly is provided above the two second rollers 9, and the pressing assembly includes a fixing frame 10 fixedly connected to the top of the second mounting frame 8 and arranged in an L-shaped structure, a connecting rod 11 slidably connected to the inside of the fixing frame 10, a third mounting frame 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 11, a third roller 13 installed on the inner side of the third mounting frame 12 and a spring 14 sleeved on the outer side of the connecting rod 11. Specifically, under the action of the spring 14, the third mounting frame 12 can be pushed downward, so that the third roller 13 can be closely fitted to the top of the weft, and the clamping operation of the weft can be realized under the action of the third roller 13, so as to facilitate the clamping and positioning operation of the broken weft after the weft is broken, so that the operator can directly operate the thread end to re-route the thread, etc., which is more convenient to use.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 On one side of the interior of the support frame 2, and below the first roller 6, an infrared alarm 17 is fixedly connected. The infrared alarm 17 is also electrically connected to the controller 16. Specifically, the weft thread breaks, causing the first roller 6 to fall and move to the side of the infrared alarm 17. The infrared ray emitted by the infrared alarm 17 hits the first roller 6 and rebounds to be received by the probe. The probe detects an abnormality and transmits a signal to the controller 16, so that the controller 16 can control the air jet loom to stop running according to the received signal, further monitoring the status of the weft thread, with higher sensitivity, to ensure the automatic stop operation of the air jet loom after the weft thread breaks.
[0029] The centers of the tops of the two second rollers 9 and the center of the bottom of the first roller 6 are arranged on the same horizontal line. The second rollers 9 and the first roller 6 located on the same horizontal line can ensure linear guidance of the weft, which is beneficial to the smooth transmission of the weft.
[0030] Working principle: The weft thread of the air jet loom is passed through the top of the second roller 9, then through the bottom of the first roller 6, and then through the top of another second roller 9. When the normal weft thread is moved and transmitted, the first roller 6 can be supported so that the limit plate 4 on the top of the slide bar 3 is located above the pressure sensor 7. When the weft thread breaks, the first roller 6 loses the support of the weft thread and moves downward. The moving first roller 6 synchronously drives the limit plate 4 to move and contact the pressure sensor 7. The pressure sensor 7 triggers the signal to be transmitted to the controller 16. The controller 16 uses this signal as a stop command to control the air jet loom to stop running, realizing the automatic stop operation of the air jet loom when the weft is broken, effectively preventing the weaving quality problems caused by weft breakage, and the structure is simple and practical, which is conducive to a wide range of applications on air jet looms.
[0031] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
