The jacquard module comprises a jacquard machine 101 and two split yarn ducts 102 arranged below the jacquard machine and split, and each split yarn duct 102 is provided with a through wire 105 connected with the jacquard machine. A bottom opening of each split yarn duct 102 is provided with an eye plate 103, and the eye plate is provided with a plurality of through holes, each of which passes through a through wire 105. The through wires 105 are divided into two forming weaving areas through the split yarn ducts 102. During the splitting process, different numbers of through wires 105 can be split into the two split yarn ducts 102 according to the different actual process requirements of the two stations, so that the resources of the jacquard module can be fully utilized. When different numbers of through wires 105 are inserted into the two split yarn ducts 102, only the corresponding eye plate 103 needs to be replaced.

[0028] In the present embodiment, the two stations below the jacquard module 1 are respectively located below the two split yarn ducts 102, one of which is placed with a woven forming weaving device 2, and the other is placed with a profiled woven forming weaving device 3.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 3 The woven forming weaving device 2 comprises a woven forming weaving mechanism 21 and a plurality of straight line traction modules 22, and a traction frame platform 23. The woven forming weaving mechanism 21 comprises a beating-up reed 4201, a connecting rod beating-up module 202 and a yarn splitting rod 201, and the connecting rod beating-up module 202 is located between the yarn splitting rod 201 and the beating-up reed 203.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 4As shown, the connecting rod weft insertion module 202 includes a trunnion seat 4202, a slider 4203, a slide rail 4204, a tie rod 4205, a pin 4206, a connecting rod 4207, a drive shaft 4208, a pull rod 4209, a weft insertion drive motor 4210, a motor reducer assembly 4211, a reducer fixed shaft 4212, a hinge shaft 4213, a pull rod fixed bearing seat 4214, a fixed plate 4215, a drive shaft 4208, a connecting rod 4207, a tie rod 4205, and a pull rod 4209, all connected below the weft insertion reed 4201.

[0034] For the set of three rollings, the first roll 20301 includes a first lateral roll 203011, and a first front core mold 203012 is arranged below the first lateral roll 203011 and cooperates with the first lateral roll 203011; the second roll 20302 includes a second lateral roll 203021 and two second inclined rolls 203022 arranged on both sides of the second lateral roll 203021, and a second front core mold 203023 is arranged below the second roll 20302 and cooperates with the second roll 20302; the third roll 20304 includes a third lateral roll 203041 and two third inclined rolls 203042 arranged on both sides of the third lateral roll 203041. The second lateral roll 203021 and the second inclined roll 203022 are arranged at a first obtuse angle, and the third lateral roll 203041 and the third inclined roll 203042 are arranged at a second obtuse angle, and the second obtuse angle is greater than the first obtuse angle. The woven fabric is sequentially rolled through the first roll 20301, the second roll 20302, and the third roll 20304, and then tightly wound on the main core mold 20307 to complete the profiling weaving. Each roll in the third roll has a different rolling angle, and the rolling angle increases from the first roll to the third roll, so that the woven fabric can be tightly pressed on the main core mold 20307. The main core mold 20307 is driven by the core mold motor 20308 to rotate to curl the woven fabric to the required thickness. The profiling forming part 203 also includes a step-off vehicle 20305 arranged near one end of the main core mold placing rack 20306, and the step-off vehicle 20305 is used to carry the main core mold 20307 taken off from the main core mold placing rack. In the present forming equipment, three rolls are adopted, each roll has a different rolling angle and the rolling height of each roll is adjustable, and the setting of three rolls can reduce the pressure applied to the preform in each roll, reduce the displacement of the fibers in the preform, and reduce the damage of the profiling forming to the organizational structure of the preform, so that more sizes and more shapes of the main core mold can be adapted. In the present forming equipment, the main core mold adjusting mechanism is adopted to adjust the height and angle of the main core mold, such as controlling the movement of the main core mold placing rack 20306 by the up and down movement of the two side sliders 203024, or by the height difference of the two side sliders 203024 of the main core mold adjusting mechanism, so that the main core mold placing rack 20306 has a certain angle with the horizontal direction, and the main core mold adjusting mechanism cooperates with the three rolls to form a preform with multiple shapes and multiple sizes.
