As a supplier of composite material equipment and a manufacturer of multi-layer cloth looms, our company also keeps pace with the market and continuously develops special composite material equipment and special rapier looms to meet the needs of customers. Among them, carbon fiber multi-layer cloth and three-dimensional structure cloth are widely used materials in the future. The manufacturing equipment is the key equipment. The material used for producing carbon fiber cloth is a carbon fiber unidirectional prepreg tape with a thickness of about 0.2mm and a width of 20mm. This brings many problems. On the one hand, in the storage of weft, the existing technology generally adopts a swing structure to prevent the retraction of the carbon fiber unidirectional prepreg tape, but such a structure is very complex, has poor stability during operation, is easy to wear and tear, and has a short service life. On the other hand, the thickness of the carbon fiber unidirectional prepreg tape is about 0.2mm, which has high requirements for the weft insertion mechanism. The existing weft insertion mechanism cannot stably clamp the carbon fiber unidirectional prepreg tape. Moreover, as one of the core components of the entire loom, the weft insertion mechanism needs to be adjusted when it fails, which greatly affects the efficiency of the entire loom. SUMMARY
