Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of textile machinery, in particular to a shedding mechanism of a rapier loom. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous expansion of the textile industry and the continuous innovation of mechanical technology, the textile fabric has gradually begun to shift its focus from two-dimensional planar structure to three-dimensional structure, and thus many three-dimensional fabric structures have been produced, such as flat-woven space fabric, warp-knitted space fabric, etc. Although these fabrics have different names, they are essentially the same layer of yarn connecting two two-dimensional fabric surfaces to form a three-dimensional structure. During the production and processing, the height of the three-dimensional structure can be adjusted according to different application requirements, so the height adjustment plays an important role.

[0003] Among them, the flat-woven space fabric is limited by the opening size of the machine and the height of the fixed height piece, and cannot complete the production of a large height in the early stage. Therefore, the false weft design is produced, that is, the fixed height piece of the false weft structure supports the crossed upper and lower pile warp yarns and the removable weft yarns. During weaving, the upper ground warp yarns and weft yarns form an upper layer of gray cloth, the lower ground warp yarns and weft yarns form a lower layer of gray cloth, and the upper and lower pile warp yarns and weft yarns form an interval layer of gray cloth, which are connected by the upper and lower ground warp yarns to form a three-dimensional fabric with an upper layer, an interval layer and a lower layer. After weaving is completed, the removable weft yarns are removed, and finally a super-thickness three-dimensional fabric is formed. However, because the false weft plays an important auxiliary role in the height of the space fabric and participates in the entire weaving process, it is necessary to remove these false wefts from the finished product after weaving is completed, so as not to affect the use of the final product. The traditional false weft removal relies on manual operation of the weft removal device, which not only consumes production cost but also wastes time and effort, resulting in low production efficiency. Moreover, false weft removal can cause pile warp knotting, resulting in defects in the finished fabric. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a rapier loom false weft removal mechanism which can realize automatic false weft removal and will not cause pile warp knotting during false weft removal, and the finished fabric has no defects.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a rapier loom false weft removal mechanism has a driving device linear slide rail and a false weft hook assembly. The linear slide rail is fixed on the support through the slide rail seat fixing seat. The linear slide rail is provided with a front stop piece and a rear stop piece. The false weft hook assembly includes a bottom plate. The bottom plate is provided with a false weft hook, a striking rod and a swing block. The bottom plate can move back and forth along the linear slide rail under the driving of the driving device. The false weft hook is coaxially connected with the swing block.

[0006] In the technical scheme, the driving device is a cylinder, and the bottom plate is fixedly connected to an output shaft of the cylinder.

[0007] In the technical scheme, the front baffle and the rear baffle are both L-shaped plates, and each includes a fixed portion fixedly connected to the slide rail seat and a blocking portion used for blocking the impact rod.

[0008] In the technical scheme, the bottom plate is provided with a first impact rod slot and a swing block slot, the impact rod is arranged in the first impact rod slot, the swing block is arranged in the swing block slot, the first impact rod slot and the swing block slot are communicated, and the first impact rod slot is provided with an impact rod limiting hole.

[0009] In the technical scheme, the bottom plate is provided with a cover plate, and the cover plate is provided with a second impact rod slot communicated with the first impact rod slot.

[0010] In the technical scheme, the false weft hook is connected with the swing block through a connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft passes through a connecting shaft hole in the cover plate.

[0011] In the technical scheme, the impact rod is provided with a guide block, the guide block is arranged in the first impact rod slot and the second impact rod slot, and the impact rod is arranged in the impact rod limiting hole.

[0012] In the technical scheme, the end portion of the false weft hook is curved upward and in an arc shape.

[0013] In the technical scheme, the cover plate is provided with a limiting guide plate, the limiting guide plate is located at the lower portion of the false weft hook, and a guide slope is arranged close to the end portion of the false weft hook.

[0014] In summary, compared with the traditional technical means, the technical scheme of the present application has the beneficial effects that: the false weft hook is moved on the linear slide rail by the cylinder, the false weft hook is lifted instantaneously by the front baffle against the impact rod and hooks the false weft, then the cylinder drives the false weft hook to move outward to a certain distance, the false weft hook is released by the rear baffle against the impact rod, the false weft is completed, the whole process can be automatically carried out, and the false weft will not cause the pile warp to be knotted, and the defects on the finished cloth are effectively reduced.
