[0059] The heald lifting mechanism is now mostly controlled by one motor for one heald frame, or one motor for two heald frames. One motor for one heald frame has high cost and large space occupation, and one motor for two heald frames has limited heald frame motion combination mode, can only move in the designed mode, cannot be independently controlled, and cannot meet the needs of weaving any fabric structure and weaving process. There are also very few one control multiple through clutches, but the load changes suddenly, which greatly damages the service life of the motor, easily burns the motor, and has poor stability and complex mechanism. Therefore, it is necessary to design an automatic heald lifting mechanism with low cost, which can independently control the motion of multiple heald frames by one motor, is simple to install, has simple structure and good stability.

[0060] In view of this, the present application provides an automatic heald lifting mechanism, Figures 1 to 9 The embodiments of the automatic heald lifting mechanism provided by the present application.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6The automatic heald lifting mechanism 100 comprises a frame 1, a plurality of synchronous belt groups 2, a heald frame structure 3, a plurality of pneumatic mechanisms 4 and a driving structure, each of the synchronous belt groups 2 comprises a wheel shaft 21 and a synchronous belt 22 sleeved outside the wheel shaft 21, among the plurality of synchronous belt groups 2, the plurality of wheel shafts 21 are spaced in the up-down direction, so that the plurality of synchronous belts 22 are arranged in sequence in a nested manner; the heald frame structure 3 comprises a plurality of heald frames fixed on the plurality of synchronous belts 22 respectively, each of the heald frames is arranged in the longitudinal direction, so as to be movable up and down with the corresponding synchronous belt 22; each of the pneumatic mechanisms 4 comprises a gas expansion shaft 41 and a buffer structure 42, one end of the gas expansion shaft 41 is connected with the buffer structure 42, and the friction force of the connection can be adjusted, the other end of the gas expansion shaft 41 is connected with the corresponding wheel shaft 21; the driving structure comprises a motor 51 fixed to the frame 1, the main shaft of the motor 51 extends in the transverse direction and is in transmission connection with the plurality of buffer structures 42, so that when the motor 51 rotates, the buffer structure 42 and the gas expansion shaft 41 are driven to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the corresponding wheel shaft 21 to rotate and making the synchronous belt 22 move up and down.

[0062] In the technical scheme of the present application, one motor 51 is arranged as the power source of the whole mechanism, a plurality of wheel shafts 21 are driven to rotate through transmission cooperation to make the plurality of synchronous belts 22 lift the heald frames, the pneumatic mechanism 4 is used for controlling the transmission of power, the control of a single motor 51 on a plurality of heald frames is realized, the buffer structure 42 is designed to prevent the rapid increase of load and affect the service life of the motor 51, and can temporarily store adverse energy, protect the motor 51, so that the stability of the equipment is higher and the equipment runs more smoothly. The air intake amount of the gas expansion shaft 41 is controlled, so that the friction force of the gas expansion shaft 41 and the buffer mechanism can be adjusted, so that when the load is suddenly and abnormally too large, the two slip to protect the motor 51, and the size of the transmitted energy can be controlled by controlling the air intake amount of the gas expansion shaft 41 per unit time, the needs of different weaving and different looms are met, and the universality of the heald lifting mechanism is improved.

[0063] It should be understood that when the friction force between the gas expansion shaft 41 and the buffer structure 42 reaches a certain value, the two can be driven to rotate synchronously by the motor 51, thereby driving the corresponding wheel shaft 21 to rotate; when the friction force is insufficient, the two rotate relatively, only the buffer structure 42 is driven to rotate, the gas expansion shaft 41 may be fixed or slightly rotated, and the provided force value is insufficient to drive the wheel shaft 21 to rotate, at this time the heald frame will not be driven to move by the synchronous belt 22, by controlling the friction force of each gas expansion shaft 41 and the corresponding buffer structure 42 to be different, a part of the plurality of heald frames can be lifted, and a part of the plurality of heald frames can be stationary, by changing the air intake amount of each gas expansion shaft 41 at any time, the plurality of heald frames can be lifted in sequence, and different fabric requirements can be matched.

[0064] To achieve the function of the air inflation shaft 41, the friction can be changed by controlling the expansion and contraction of the shape of the air inflation shaft 41. In the present embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , each of the buffer structures 42 is formed with a mounting groove on the side facing away from the motor 51; each of the air inflation shafts 41 includes a shaft cylinder 411, an air connection ring 412, and a plurality of pneumatic terminals 413. The shaft cylinder 411 has an inner cavity for storing gas. One end of the shaft cylinder 411 extends into the mounting groove, and the end portion is provided with a plurality of through holes spaced apart on the circumferential side. The other end is connected to the corresponding wheel shaft 21. The circumferential side of the shaft cylinder 411 is also provided with a plurality of air inlet holes distributed along the axial direction. The plurality of air inlet holes are spaced apart along the length direction of the shaft cylinder 411. The air connection ring 412 is sleeved on the outside of the shaft cylinder 411 and can rotate relative to the shaft cylinder 411. The air connection ring 412 covers the outside of the plurality of air inlet holes. The air connection ring 412 is provided with an air connection hole for mounting an air valve connected to an external air pipe. When the shaft cylinder 411 is driven to rotate, the air connection hole is always in communication with at least one of the air inlet holes to enable the introduction of gas into the inner cavity. The plurality of pneumatic terminals 413 are respectively arranged at the plurality of through holes and are in movable sealing with the shaft cylinder 411. The plurality of pneumatic terminals 413 are used to protrude from the shaft cylinder 411 to contact the side wall of the mounting groove or be accommodated in the inner cavity when the air pressure in the shaft cylinder 411 changes. In use, the air valve is always connected to the external air pipe, and the external air pipe is connected to the air pump for air supply. The air pump can be controlled to intake or exhaust air by controlling the opening and closing of the air valve or the air intake amount. When the air pressure in the inner cavity of the shaft cylinder 411 is sufficient, the plurality of pneumatic terminals 413 are completely expanded to abut against the mounting groove. At this time, the shaft cylinder 411 can rotate synchronously with the buffer structure 42. In this process, the shaft cylinder 411 rotates by friction fitting and rotates relative to the air connection ring 412. This makes the air connection hole always communicate with at least one air inlet hole to ensure sufficient air supply, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotating fitting. When the air pressure in the inner cavity of the shaft cylinder 411 is insufficient, the pneumatic terminal 413 may not protrude or only partially protrude. At this time, the friction fitting force is not enough to achieve synchronous rotation. By controlling the air intake amount, the friction force can be controlled. When the load suddenly increases abnormally and is greater than the set friction force, slipping occurs, which has a protective effect on the motor 51. Controlling the air intake or no air intake can achieve control of the power transmission.

[0065] It should be understood that the corresponding wheel shaft 21 of each shaft cylinder 411 can be connected by a shaft coupling to provide good power transmission.

[0066] It should be noted that the pneumatic terminal 413 is preferably made of a material with a certain flexibility to perform extrusion friction fitting and avoid scratching caused by hard friction of a hard structure.

[0067] Further, the middle part of the shaft cylinder 411 is provided with an annular groove, the bottom wall surface of the annular groove is provided with a plurality of air inlet holes, the air inlet ring 412 is clamped in the annular groove to ensure good clamping cooperation of the two, thereby facilitating the limiting of the periphery, ensuring good rotation corresponding relationship of the air inlet hole and the air inlet hole.

[0068] The present application does not limit the specific form of the buffer structure 42, in the present embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , each of the buffer structure 42 includes a passive air pushing piece 421 and an active thrust piece 422, the passive air pushing piece 421 is provided in a tubular shape with one side open, the middle part of the bottom wall of the passive air pushing piece 421 is provided with a baffle, one end of the baffle is abutted against the wall surface of the passive air pushing piece, the other end is provided in a columnar shape to form a positioning column, the periphery of the passive air pushing piece 421 is provided with an annular groove close to the open side to allow a sealing ring 423 to be installed, the active thrust piece 422 is provided in a tubular shape with one side open, is installed outside the passive air pushing piece 421 and is sealed with the passive air pushing piece 421 through the sealing ring 423 to form a sealed cavity, the bottom wall of the active thrust piece 422 is provided with a blade, and the blade can extend into the passive air pushing piece 421, one end of the blade along the diameter direction of the active thrust piece 422 is in contact with the inner wall of the passive air pushing piece 421, the other end is provided in an arc surface to contact the positioning column, the active thrust piece 422 is drivingly connected with the motor 51, so that the blade can rotate around the positioning column to extrude the air in the sealed cavity during rotation of the active thrust piece 422, so that the passive air pushing piece 421 can move with the active thrust piece. Specifically, when the active thrust piece 322 is driven to rotate, the passive air pushing piece 421 will not rotate immediately, with the rotation of the blade, the air on one side of the blade is compressed, the air pressure increases, and the air pressure on the other side is smaller at this time, so that a pressure difference is formed in the sealed cavity, when the pressure difference reaches a certain value, the passive air pushing piece 421 will be driven to rotate. The blade takes the positioning column as the rotation center, which is convenient for guiding the two tubular parts, and the inherent characteristics of the gas can realize slow increase of the load, which protects the motor 51, and can store sudden abnormal energy, so that the mechanism runs more smoothly and the stability of the mechanism is improved.

[0069] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the buffer structure 42 can also be provided as a structure similar to an air bag, an air spring or the like, which can also realize the corresponding function by reasonable matching, and the present application does not make detailed description.

[0070] In order to realize that one motor 51 drives a plurality of wheel shafts 21 to rotate, gear cooperation or other transmission modes can be used, in an embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5The driving structure further comprises two support plates 52 and a gear set. The two support plates 52 are arranged on the frame 1 in transverse direction. The gear set is arranged between the two support plates 52. The gear set comprises a plurality of driving gears 531 and a plurality of reversing gears 532 arranged alternately and engaged with each other. One end of the plurality of driving gears 531 is connected to the plurality of buffer structures 42 through a plurality of speed reducers 54. The other end of the gear shaft 21 of one of the driving gears 531 is connected to the main shaft of the motor 51 through one of the support plates 52. The gear shaft 21 of the plurality of reversing gears 532 is rotatably arranged on the two support plates 52. The plurality of speed reducers 54 are fixed to the other support plate 52. The two support plates 52 serve as support plates to support the speed reducers 54 and the corresponding gear shafts 21. When the main shaft of the motor 51 rotates, the gear shaft 21 of one of the driving gears 531 is driven to rotate. Due to the engagement between the driving gears 531 and the reversing gears 532, the plurality of driving gears 531 can adapt to the interval between the adjacent two wheel shafts 21 and rotate synchronously, thereby driving the plurality of wheel shafts 21 to rotate. The power transmission of the motor 51 is achieved.

[0071] Further, the motor 51 is a servo motor 51. The motor 51 can be connected to the corresponding parts through a shaft coupling. The fixed seat of the motor 51 is mounted on the frame 1 through a support, thereby adapting to the corresponding installation height. Considering the frictional force of the reversing gears 532, the gear shaft 21 of each reversing gear 532 can be arranged on the corresponding support plate 52 through a bearing.

[0072] In order to further improve the operation control of the mechanism, in one embodiment, the automatic heald lifting structure further comprises a plurality of one-way dampers 6. The plurality of one-way dampers 6 are arranged on the plurality of wheel shafts 21 to fix the upper limit of each heald and control the speed of the descent of each heald. It should be understood that the one-way dampers 6 need to be reasonably arranged to achieve their functions. However, the existing dampers are mostly bidirectional dampers, which cannot achieve the functions. Therefore, in the present embodiment, please refer to Figure 7, each of the one-way dampers 6 comprises a steering engine 61 fixed to the frame 1, a threaded rod connected to an end of a main shaft of the steering engine 61, a connecting ring 63 with a sawtooth-shaped inner hole, a friction ring 62 sleeved on the outside of the connecting ring 63 and provided with a strip-shaped hole to tightly hold or release the connecting ring 63 when threadedly matched with the threaded rod, and a damper sawtooth ring 64 sleeved and fixed on the outside of the corresponding wheel shaft 21 and arranged in the inner hole of the connecting ring 63, the tooth part of the damper sawtooth ring 64 is arranged in an inclined manner and is made of a material capable of being elastically deformed, so as to synchronously rotate with the connecting ring 63 or relatively rotate with the connecting ring 63 during the rotation of the wheel shaft 21. The damper sawtooth ring 64 is designed to simulate the matching form of a cable tie, for example, in the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, when rotating clockwise, the tooth part of the damper sawtooth ring 64 is in close engagement with the connecting ring 63, at this time, the two can synchronously rotate, when rotating counterclockwise, the tooth part of the damper sawtooth ring 64 can be elastically deformed along the direction of the inner teeth of the connecting ring 63, at this time, the damper sawtooth ring 64 can slide and rotate, the relative friction is small, at this time, the connecting ring 63 does not synchronously move, thereby realizing the effect of one-way damping. Specifically, when the heald frame moves upward, the wheel shaft 21 drives the damper sawtooth ring 64 to rotate counterclockwise, the damper sawtooth ring 64 relatively moves with the connecting ring 63, the connecting ring 63 is basically stationary, therefore, there is basically no resistance between the connecting ring 63 and the friction ring 62. When the heald frame moves downward or has a downward movement trend, the damper sawtooth ring 64 drives the connecting ring 63 to synchronously rotate and thus generates a friction force with the friction ring 62, by controlling the steering engine 61 to drive the threaded rod to rotate, the friction force between the friction ring 62 and the connecting ring 63 can be changed by changing the holding pressure of the friction ring 62 on the connecting ring 63. When the heald frame moves upward to the upper limit position, the friction force between the connecting ring 63 and the friction ring 62 is greater than the weight of the heald frame, which can prevent the heald frame from falling after the air inflation shaft 41 is broken, when the heald frame needs to move downward, the friction force between the connecting ring 63 and the friction ring 62 is slightly smaller than the weight of the heald frame, which can ensure the heald frame to slowly descend and protect the heald frame. The design of the damping matching structure can stop the heald frame at any position by controlling the locking of the steering engine 61, the upper limit position can be arbitrarily controlled, stepless heald raising can be realized, and the opening requirements of different weavings and weavers can be met.

Each of the heald frames corresponds to at least two separation blocks 34, the two separation blocks 34 limit the position of the heald frame in the longitudinal direction, thereby avoiding warping of the heald frame, when the heald frame is driven to move, it can move in the gap between the two separation blocks 34, at this time the roller 311 is driven to roll, thereby reducing the sliding friction of the heald frame and avoiding wear caused by sliding friction.

[0077] Specifically, in the present embodiment, long strip holes extending upwardly and downwardly are arranged on the frame 1 for the tensioning shaft 72 to pass through, and each supporting rod 23 is fixed by shaft hole fitting.

[0078] Further, considering the size of the heald frame and the stability of the heald raising, each of the synchronous belt groups 2 comprises two transversely spaced synchronous belts 22, at this time, the fitting block 71, the tensioning wheel 73 and the tensioning screw 74 are correspondingly arranged two, i.e. two synchronous belts 22 correspond to the two ends of the wheel shaft 21, forming two flat sections, and two tensioning wheels 73 are arranged on the two flat sections.

[0081] The technical scheme of the application, the driving structure is composed of a servo motor 51, a motor 51 fixing seat and a shaft coupling, which is the power source of the whole heald lifting mechanism. The servo motor 51 drives a gear 531 transmission mechanism, which is composed of a plurality of gears and gear shafts 21. Through the meshing of the gears, the torque of the motor 51 is transmitted to each wheel shaft 21 to drive the upward movement of each heald frame. The pneumatic mechanism 4 is composed of an internal gas pressure controllable gas expansion shaft 41 and a buffer structure 42, and cooperates with a speed reducer 54, etc. The pneumatic mechanism 4 is used for controlling power transmission to realize the control of a single motor 51 on multiple heald frames. The controllable gas expansion shaft 41 is designed to control the power transmission, and when the load suddenly abnormally increases, the motor 51 will slip to protect the motor 51, and the size of the energy transmitted by each gas expansion shaft 41 can be controlled by controlling the air intake amount per unit time to realize the control of the lifting sequence of different heald frames, meet the needs of different weaving and different looms, and improve the universality of the heald lifting mechanism. The buffer structure 42 is designed to prevent the rapid increase of the load, which has a great impact on the service life of the motor 51, and can temporarily store adverse energy to protect the motor 51. Compared with the existing technology which uses a clutch to drive and control the structure, the improvement process of the present application is more gentle, the impact on the motor 51 is small, the stability of the equipment is higher, and the equipment runs more smoothly. With the cooperation of the gas expansion shaft 41 as the main protection and the buffer structure 42 for supplementary protection, the service life of the motor can be prolonged, and the speed reducer 54 reduces the speed and increases the torque. The heald lifting part is composed of heald frames, synchronous belts 22 and one-way dampers 6. The heald lifting height requirements of different fabrics are also different. The one-way damper 6 designed to be sleeved on the wheel shaft 21 is used to control the upper limit position of the heald frame and reduce the descending speed of the heald frame. The upper limit position can be adjusted according to different yarn types. The rotation frequency of the motor 51 and the thread cooperation state of the screw rod 611 driven by the steering wheel 61 can be reasonably controlled to realize stopping at any time, thereby limiting the heald lifting height and realizing stepless heald lifting, meeting the opening requirements of different fabric weaving without being affected by the heald lifting height and the need for separate design of the mechanism. The structure is simple, saves space, and is easy to install. The mechanism is simple and the production cost is low. A single servo motor 51 can control multiple heald frames individually, solving the contradiction between the number of motors 51 and the individual control of heald frames. Without reducing the heald lifting performance, the stability and service life of the equipment, a large amount of production cost is saved.

[0082] It should be noted that the position of the upper limit of the heald frame can be detected by a sensor. Compared with setting the motor pulse, the accuracy is better.
