Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention mainly discloses a yarn frame system, particularly a jacquard warp knitting yarn frame system that can reduce the horizontal space occupied. Prior Technology
[0002] Jacquard warp knitting machines typically use a motor to rotate the yarn head, providing the necessary yarn to form the greige fabric. Irregular patterns arise from the action of the jacquard, but due to limitations of the yarn motor, the yarn stretching on the same set of motor head yarns has a certain range, thus limiting the degree of jacquard action and product design requirements.
[0003] To accommodate more diverse patterns and functionalities, warp-knitted textiles require the use of a yarn rack to supply yarn to the jacquard, replacing the original coiled yarn. The model involves the warp knitting machine jacquard drawing the required amount of yarn as it operates, thus solving the problem of motor-limited jacquard operation.
[0004] However, warp knitting machines and yarn frames are usually set up on the same floor, which has the following problems: large horizontal space required, high complexity of operation on the same floor, and even the yarn on the yarn frame needs to be connected to the machine, which may cause some of the coiled yarn to be unusable. In order to improve these situations, the inventors used an isolation system. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of the Jacquard warp knitting creel system of the present invention is to provide a creel system comprising at least one creel, an isolation system, and a warp knitting machine. The isolation system can directly separate the creel from the warp knitting machine in space and make the floor height of the creel higher than that of the warp knitting machine. Through the above structure, the creel system can reduce the horizontal space occupied.
[0006] The isolation system consists of a floor slab and a yarn-passing device. The floor slab is a building floor slab with at least one perforation. Below the floor slab are an upper beam, three fixed columns, a lower beam, and a bracket. The three fixed columns are fixedly connected to the lower edge of the upper beam. The lower beam is located vertically below the upper beam and connected to the three fixed columns at the opposite end of the upper beam. The bracket is U-shaped and connected to the lower edge of the lower beam. The yarn-passing device includes several metal tubes, an angle iron, several square irons, a metal plate, and several ceramic eyelets. The top ends of the several metal tubes can pass through the perforation in the floor slab. The metal tubes allow yarns to pass through and separate them to prevent them from tangling. The square irons are divided into two parts: one connected to the three fixed posts and the other connected to the bracket. An angle iron is connected to the part of the square irons that connects to the three fixed posts and can fix the metal tubes. The number of metal tubes installed is equal to the actual number of yarns used by the warp knitting machine, making it an isolated system. The metal plate is connected to the part of the square irons that connects to the bracket. The metal plate has holes in a number equal to the number of metal tubes. The ceramic eye is hollow and is inserted into the holes of the metal tubes and the metal plate, thereby fixing the metal tubes.
[0007] The angle iron can be used with tape to help fix the several metal tubes, so that the several metal tubes are installed in sequence without overlapping.
[0008] The number of the at least one yarn frame and the at least one perforation can be two each, with the two perforations located between the two yarn frames. The plurality of metal tubes are divided into two sides and respectively located at the two perforations. The plurality of metal tubes can supply the two yarn frames located on each side of the two perforations above the floor slab. The length of the metal tubes passes through the upper and lower parts of the floor slab.
[0009] The length of the fixed column in the vertical direction is greater than the length of the bracket in the vertical direction.
[0010] The ceramic eyelets pass through the holes in the metal plate from below and upwards, and are glued to the metal plate. The outer periphery of the ceramic eyelets has a protruding structure and abuts against the lower edge of the metal plate. The metal tubes are sleeved on the top of the ceramic eyelets.
[0011] The yarn of the yarn frame passes sequentially through the metal tube, the metal plate, and the ceramic eye, and is finally supplied to the warp knitting machine.

[0014] The techniques, methods, and effects employed in this invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is for illustrative purposes only and is not limited to this structure in patent applications.
[0015] Referring to Figures 1 to 10b, the figures illustrate the process of fabric production using the Jacquard warp knitting creel system of the present invention, its structural diagram, perspective view, usage state view, and plan view. The creel system of the present invention includes at least one creel S1, an isolation system S2, and a warp knitting machine S3; wherein:
[0016] The isolation system S2 can directly separate the yarn frame S1 from the warp knitting machine S3 in space, and make the floor height of the yarn frame S1 higher than that of the warp knitting machine S3.
[0017] The isolation system S2 consists of a floor slab S21 and a yarn-passing device S22. The floor slab S21 is a building floor slab, such as a cement structure, and the floor slab S21 is provided with at least one perforation S211.
[0018] Below the floor slab S21, there is an upper beam S212, three fixed columns S213, a lower beam S214, and a bracket S215. The upper beam S212 has a construction I-beam structure. The three fixed columns S213 are respectively fixedly connected to the lower edge of the upper beam S212. The lower beam S214 is located below the upper beam S212 in the vertical direction and is connected to the end of the three fixed columns S213 opposite to the upper beam S212. The bracket S215 is in the shape of a mountain and is connected to the lower edge of the lower beam S214.
[0019] The yarn guiding device S22 can efficiently concentrate the yarn within the isolation system S2 and provide a smooth path for the yarn to pass through. The yarn guiding device S22 includes several metal tubes S221, an angle iron S222, several square irons S223, a metal plate S224, and several ceramic eyelets S225. The top ends of the several metal tubes S221 in the vertical direction can pass through the perforations S211 of the floor slab S21. The several metal tubes S221 allow the yarn to pass through separately and separate the yarn to prevent the yarn from tangling with each other. The square irons S223 are divided into two parts: one connected to the three fixed posts S213 and the other connected to the bracket S215. An angle iron S222 connects to the portion of the square irons S223 that connects to the three fixed posts S213 and can fix the metal tubes S221. The number of metal tubes S221 installed is equal to the actual number of yarns used by the warp knitting machine S3, forming an isolated system. The metal plate S224 connects to the portion of the square irons S223 that connects to the bracket S215. The metal plate S224 has a number of holes corresponding to the number of metal tubes S221. The number of metal tubes S221 and the number of holes in the metal plate S224 are matched according to the actual number of yarns. The ceramic eyelet S225 is a hollow cylinder. These ceramic eyeslet S225 are respectively inserted into the holes of the metal tubes S221 and the metal plate S224, thereby fixing the metal tubes S221 in place.
[0020] The angle iron S222 can be used with tape to help fix the several metal tubes S221, so that the several metal tubes S221 are installed sequentially without overlapping.
[0021] The number of at least one yarn frame S1 and at least one perforation S211 can be two each. The two perforations S211 are disposed between the two yarn frames S1. The plurality of metal tubes S221 are divided into two sides and respectively disposed in the two perforations S211. The plurality of metal tubes S221 can supply the two yarn frames S1 disposed on each side of the two perforations S211 above the floor slab S21. The length of the metal tubes S221 passes through the upper and lower parts of the floor slab S21.
[0022] The vertical length of the fixing post S213 is greater than the vertical length of the bracket S215. Since the fixing post S213 needs to fix the angle iron S222, the fixing post S213 is long. The bracket S215 needs to be used to place the metal plate S224, so it is longer at the top and shorter at the bottom for fastening.
[0023] The several ceramic eyelets S225 pass through the holes of the metal plate S224 from below and upward, and are glued to the metal plate S224. The outer periphery of the several ceramic eyelets S225 has a protruding structure and abuts against the lower edge of the metal plate S224. The several metal tubes S221 are sleeved on the top of the several ceramic eyelets S225.
[0024] The two yarn frames S1 are installed above the floor slab S21 and on both sides of the two perforations S211. The yarn frames S1 hold the yarn tubes of the corresponding machine product quantity, and guide the yarn tubes and yarns on the yarn frames S1 to the isolation system S2, and then supply them to the warp knitting machine S3.
[0025] Yarn path: Yarn frame S1 → Metal tube S221 (because the metal tube S221 passes through the perforation S211 of the floor slab S21) → Metal plate S224 → Ceramic eye S225 → Warp knitting machine S3.
[0026] Yarn path operation: Only one operation is required. The yarn is manually guided from the yarn frame S1 to the warp knitting machine S3 along the entire path. When changing products or production lines, simply leave the yarn at the upper and lower ends of the metal tube S221 of the yarn guide device S22. When the yarn frame S1 needs to be changed, simply replace the yarn tube of the yarn frame S1 and reconnect the yarn above the metal tube S221. When the warp knitting machine S3 needs to be changed, simply reconnect the yarn below the metal tube S221 to the warp knitting machine S3.
[0027] The yarn frame system is used with a Jacquard warp knitting machine, which can be either a single Jacquard warp knitting machine or a multi-Jacquard warp knitting machine. Since there are two sets of the yarn frame S1, yarn can be supplied to the warp knitting machine S3 at the same time for various combinations to produce jacquard fabrics.
[0028] Based on the above, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0029] 1. Reduce the horizontal space occupied.
[0030] 2. The yarn rack and warp knitting machine are isolated in different spaces, which effectively improves manpower utilization and material planning. However, space is also required when the yarn rack is replaced.
[0031] 3. Improve the utilization rate of warp knitting machine yarn heads and avoid occupying the yarn head path. Because the isolation system effectively concentrates the yarn above the warp knitting machine, it can directly enter the warp knitting machine without occupying the path of other yarn heads, thus preventing some yarn heads from becoming unusable.
[0032] 4. Improve efficiency by quickly switching the yarn feed direction of the yarn trellis to different warp knitting machines, thereby increasing the switching speed of the warp knitting machines to meet different needs. For example, the yarn trellis can be supplied to the lower left warp knitting machine, and then switched to supply the right warp knitting machine when needed.
[0033] 5. Increased speed of changing lines for different products. For example, the right-side yarn frame is provided to the warp knitting machine. When the yarn on the yarn frame of the warp knitting machine needs to be changed, the yarn on the right-side yarn frame can be quickly removed and the yarn on the prepared yarn frame on the left can be used to achieve a quick production line change function.
[0034] 6. Improve efficiency: The yarn can be quickly switched between yarn-frame and non-yarn-frame products. When not using the yarn frame, the yarn can be bundled and tied below. When the yarn frame is to be used, the yarn can be reconnected to the warp knitting machine.
[0035] 7. The use of a metal tube isolation system can keep the yarns separate along the path, thus preventing them from tangling and getting tangled.
[0036] However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any changes in numerical values or substitutions of equivalent elements, or equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present invention's patent application, should still fall within the scope of the present invention's patent.
