Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of rapier machines, and in particular to a rapier machine blade cooling device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Rapier looms are the most widely used shuttleless looms. In addition to the characteristics of high speed, high automation and high efficiency of shuttleless looms, their active weft insertion method has strong adaptability to various types of yarns.

[0003] As one of the accessories in the rapier loom, the rapier belt is used in the weft insertion device of the rapier loom. Driven by the rapier wheel, the rapier belt reciprocates along a predetermined track to realize the weft insertion operation.

[0004] With the continuous improvement of loom production efficiency and the continuous shortening of weft insertion cycle, the rapier belt has to undergo bending deformation and high-intensity friction when it is in reciprocating motion. The high-intensity friction generates a lot of heat, which needs to be cooled. However, the high-intensity friction also generates static electricity and attracts a lot of spinning yarn and dust. After long-term use, the dust on the rapier belt will affect the normal operation of various components in the device. Generally, the dust removal is done by workers, which increases the workload of workers and is very inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0045] The present invention also provides a method for using a sword belt cooling device for a rapier machine, comprising the following specific steps:

[0046] Step 1: Start the motor. The motor drives the transmission wheel on the rotating rod to rotate back and forth, causing the sword belt to move back and forth on the worktable. At the same time as the rotating rod rotates, the first synchronous wheel and the second synchronous wheel drive one of the rotating rollers to rotate. Through the meshing connection of multiple first gears, the other rotating roller can be driven to rotate at the same time. The cleaning plates on the two rotating rollers can clean the dust on both sides of the sword belt under the elastic force of the first compression spring.

[0047] Step 2: Start the air cooler at the same time as starting the motor. The air cooler can generate cold air and deliver it to the inside of the box through the connecting pipe to cool the blades inside the box and guide the dust cleaned by the cleaning plate to the inside of the collection box.

[0048] Step 3: While the rotating roller is rotating, the transmission rod can be driven to rotate by the second gear meshing with the first gear, so that the cam can rotate and drive the brush plate at the top to move vertically. Under the elastic force of the second compression spring, the brush plate can move vertically back and forth on the filter plate when the cam rotates, thereby cleaning the dust on the filter plate and brushing it into the inside of the collection box.

[0049] Step 4: When the cam rotates, it will intermittently come into contact with the scimitar belt, and the static electricity on the scimitar belt will be conducted to the ground through the ball bearings, rotating ring and grounding wire. This cycle can be repeated to carry out the weaving operation.

[0050] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0051] This invention utilizes a combination of a housing, a heat dissipation mechanism, a dust removal mechanism, and an antistatic mechanism. The heat dissipation mechanism continuously blows cold air into the housing, thereby lowering the internal temperature and cooling the blade belt passing through it. Simultaneously, the rotation of the blade wheel drives the dust removal mechanism to clean dust from both sides of the blade belt. The dust, once swept away, falls into the collection box with the flow of cold air. During the dust removal process, the antistatic mechanism intermittently contacts the blade belt, guiding static electricity from the blade belt to the ground and cleaning the filter plates inside the collection box. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning, reduces the amount of filaments and dust adhering to the blade belt, and facilitates use. Attached Figure Description

[0061] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] This invention provides, for example Figure 1-8 The rapier blade cooling device shown includes a worktable 1, on one side of which a motor 2 is mounted. A rotating rod 3 is connected to the output end of the motor 2, and a sword-transfer wheel 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 3, conveying a sword belt 5. The motor 2 is electrically connected to an external power source via an external switch. The switch controls the rotation direction of the motor 2, thereby allowing the sword-transfer wheel 4 to drive the sword belt 5 to move back and forth on the worktable 1.

[0063] A cooling and dust removal device is provided on one side of the workbench 1. The cooling and dust removal device includes: a housing 6, a heat dissipation mechanism 7, a dust removal mechanism 8, and an antistatic mechanism 9. The housing 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the workbench 1, and the sword belt 5 is slidably inserted into the housing 6. The heat dissipation mechanism 7 is located at the bottom of the housing 6 and is used to transport cold air into the housing 6. The dust removal mechanism 8 is located between the housing 6 and the rotating rod 3 and is used to scrape the front and back of the sword belt 5. The antistatic mechanism 9 is located inside the housing 6 and is connected to the dust removal mechanism 8.

[0064] Furthermore, the heat dissipation mechanism 7 includes a cooler 71 and a connecting pipe 72. The cooler 71 is fixedly installed on one side of the motor 2. One end of the connecting pipe 72 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cooler 71, and the other end of the connecting pipe 72 is fixedly inserted into the housing 6. The cooler 71 is electrically connected to an external power supply through an external switch. The cooler 71 generates cool air, which is delivered to the interior of the housing 6 through the connecting pipe 72, thereby cooling the blades 5 passing through the interior of the housing 6.

[0065] Furthermore, the dust removal mechanism 8 includes: rotating rollers 81, a synchronization component 82, first gears 83, a cleaning plate 84, and a first compression spring 85. Both ends of the multiple rotating rollers 81 are rotatably interlocked with the inner wall of the housing 6. The synchronization component 82 is disposed between the rotating rod 3 and one of the rotating rollers 81. Through the synchronization component 82, the rotating rollers 81 can be rotated simultaneously when the motor 2 drives the rotating rod 3 to rotate the upper blade wheel 4. Multiple first gears 83 are fixedly interlocked with the multiple rotating rollers 81, and the multiple first gears 83 are meshed together. When one of the rotating rollers 81 rotates, the meshing of the multiple first gears 83 will allow rotation. It can simultaneously drive another rotating roller 81 to rotate; the outer wall of the rotating roller 81 is provided with multiple grooves at equal intervals, and the cleaning plate 84 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the groove. The cross section of the cleaning plate 84 is T-shaped; one end of the first compression spring 85 is fixedly connected to the cleaning plate 84, and the other end of the first compression spring 85 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove. The first compression spring 85 is always in a compressed state, which can always provide a stable elastic force to the cleaning plate 84, so that when the rotating roller 81 rotates, the bristles on the cleaning plate 84 can be closely attached to the sword belt 5, so that the sword belt 5 can be cleaned by the cleaning plate 84 when the sword belt 5 moves back and forth.

[0066] Furthermore, the synchronization component 82 includes: a first synchronization pulley 821, a second synchronization pulley 822, and a synchronization belt 823. The first synchronization pulley 821 is fixedly inserted and connected to the rotating rod 3; the second synchronization pulley 822 is fixedly inserted and connected to one of the rotating rollers 81; the synchronization belt 823 is disposed between the first synchronization pulley 821 and the second synchronization pulley 822. The diameter of the first synchronization pulley 821 is much larger than that of the second synchronization pulley 822, so that when the first synchronization pulley 821 rotates slowly, the second synchronization pulley 822 can drive the rotating roller 81 to rotate quickly, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0067] Furthermore, the dust removal mechanism 8 also includes: a collection box 86, a filter plate 87, and a collection box 88. The collection box 86 is fixedly connected to one side of the box body 6; the filter plate 87 is fixedly connected to the inside of the collection box 86; the collection box 88 is slidably inserted and connected to one side of the collection box 86. The collection box 86 is configured so that after the cleaning plate 84 cleans the sword belt 5, the cold air blown in by the cold air blower 71 is transported to the inside of the collection box 86, filtered by the filter plate 87, and finally falls into the inside of the collection box 88.

[0068] Furthermore, the static elimination mechanism 9 includes: a transmission rod 91, a cam 92, a second gear 93, and an elastic cleaning component 94. Both ends of the transmission rod 91 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 6; the cam 92 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 91; the second gear 93 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 91 and meshes with the first gear 83. By meshing the second gear 93 with one of the first gears 83, the second gear 93 can be driven to rotate synchronously when the first gear 83 rotates, so that the rotating roller 81 can drive the cam 92 on the transmission rod 91 to rotate at the same time; the elastic cleaning component 94 is disposed above the cam 92.

[0069] Furthermore, the elastic cleaning assembly 94 includes: a fixing frame 941, a brush plate 942, sliding rods 943, a squeezing plate 944, and a second compression spring 945. The fixing frame 941 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 6; the brush plate 942 is disposed inside the housing 6 and cooperates with the filter plate 87; one end of each of the multiple sliding rods 943 is slidably inserted into the fixing frame 941, and the other end of each of the multiple sliding rods 943 is fixedly connected to the brush plate 942; multiple squeezing plates 944 are respectively fixedly inserted into the multiple sliding rods 943; and the second compression spring 945 is sleeved on the sliding rods 943. Externally, one end of the second compression spring 945 is fixedly connected to the extrusion plate 944, and the other end of the second compression spring 945 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 941. The second compression spring 945 is always in a compressed state, so that the extrusion plate 944 can provide a stable elastic force to the brush plate 942 on the sliding rod 943, so that the brush plate 942 is in close contact with the top of the cam 92. When the cam 92 rotates, the brush plate 942 can move back and forth vertically on the filter plate 87, thereby cleaning the dust on the filter plate 87 and brushing it into the interior of the collection box 88.

[0070] Furthermore, the static elimination mechanism 9 also includes: ball bearings 95, rotating ring 96, and grounding wire 97. One end of the transmission rod 91 has a sliding groove, and multiple ball bearings 95 are equidistantly arranged inside the sliding groove; multiple ball bearings 95 are equidistantly arranged inside the ball bearings 95; one end of the grounding wire 97 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 96, and the other end of the grounding wire 97 is connected to the ground. The arrangement of the ball bearings 95 ensures that the rotating ring 96 does not rotate when the transmission rod 91 rotates. Moreover, the transmission rod 91, cam 92, ball bearings 95, and rotating ring 96 are all made of metal with good conductivity, so that when the cam 92 contacts the sword belt 5, the static electricity on the sword belt 5 can be conducted to the ground. At the same time, the rotation of the cam 92 can also clean the filter plate 87, making it convenient to use.

[0071] Furthermore, a protective plate 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 6. The protective plate 10 is sleeved on the outside of the first gear 83 and the second gear 93. The protective plate 10 plays a protective role for the first gear 83 and the second gear 93, preventing multiple first gears 83 and second gears 93 from malfunctioning.

[0072] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
