Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a warp feeding transmission mechanism for a rapier loom. Background Technology

[0002] Rapier looms are the most widely used shuttleless looms. In addition to the high speed, high degree of automation, and high efficiency of shuttleless looms, their active weft insertion method has strong adaptability to various types of yarns. Furthermore, rapier looms have significant advantages in multi-color weft weaving, and can produce yarn-dyed products with up to 16 colors of weft yarn. As shuttleless looms replace shuttle looms, rapier looms will become the main type of machine for producing woven fabrics.

[0003] In existing rapier looms, the warp feed mechanism, during the weft insertion and beat-up operations, repeatedly moves the warp threads, causing tension differences between the interlaced warp threads. This leads to variations in warp thread tension and abnormal tension, making it highly susceptible to accidents during weft interlacing due to loose warp threads, resulting in a decline in fabric quality. Therefore, a flexible warp feed mechanism for rapier looms is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a flexible rapier loom warp feed transmission mechanism. This mechanism solves the problem that after the warp threads are repeatedly moved, the tension of the interlaced warp threads varies, causing changes in the warp thread tension and abnormal tension. This can easily lead to accidents during interlacing of loose warp threads, resulting in a decline in fabric quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

One end of the air jet frame is sleeved on the outer wall of the reciprocating screw, and the other end of the air jet frame is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rod.

[0018] Preferably, an abutment head is fixedly connected to the top side of the jet frame, and an abutment frame is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the two lifting members.

[0019] Preferably, a jet pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the two cylinders, a spray head is installed on the outer wall of the jet pipe, the jet pipe is connected to the retraction chamber, and a steam supply pipe is externally connected to the bottom input end of the air exchange valve and the input end of the jet frame.

[0020] Working principle: When the warp drive mechanism feeds the warp, the front end of the warp is pulled by the take-up roller of the loom, and the rear end of the warp is sequentially wound around the detection roller, tension roller, and feed roller to achieve a taut state. The taut warp applies force to the adjacent set of detection rollers, causing the two adjacent detection rollers to experience opposite forces. This, in turn, causes the rotating frame and torsion shaft connected to the detection rollers to torsion the spring, bringing the torsion shaft and the connected rotating frame and guide roller to an initial equilibrium state, i.e., the warp is taut. At this time, the motor drives... The drive shaft rotates, causing two sets of meshing gears (gear one and gear two) to rotate. This causes the meshing plates, which are engaged with the meshing shaft, to transmit rotational power to the movable shaft. The movable shaft then rotates via the splined shaft and splined groove, and in turn, via the synchronous pulley and synchronous belt, drives the feed roller to rotate. This ensures the feed roller's speed matches the loom's take-up roller speed, maintaining a balanced state at both ends of the warp yarn during feeding, achieving tension. When the warp yarn becomes slack due to external forces, the slack is dynamically adjusted. The specific steps are as follows:

[0021] When the warp threads lose tension, they lose the force applied to the detection roller. This causes the detection roller, along with its connected structure including the torsion shaft, to rotate due to the resetting action of the compressed rotating seat. This causes the connected guide roller to rotate, resulting in the guide grooves on the surface of the guide roller shifting. This shifts the transmission head and the slide connected to multiple transmission heads, causing the slide to move. Consequently, the slide moves the ventilation valve, opening the exhaust chamber and the pressure relief chamber. The steam entering from the input end of the ventilation valve flows through the pressurization chamber and pipe into the propulsion chamber inside the cylinder. This causes the piston shaft to move due to the steam, which in turn moves the rack connected to it.

[0022] The rack and pinion meshes with the gear ring and rotates clockwise, causing the ratchet teeth on its inner circumference to engage the pawl. The pawl generates a backward force, which is limited by the inner shaft. This backward force then applies a synchronous force to the inner shaft, causing it to drive the connected limit wheel and turntable to rotate clockwise. When the limit wheel rotates clockwise, it applies a force to the limit head through the limit groove on its outer circumference, causing the limit head to lift. The limit head then returns to its original position through the torsion spring compressed by its rotation. The rotating turntable compresses the connected spring spring and simultaneously drives the first connecting rod, which in turn drives the eccentric wheel connecting rod to push the guide frame, applying a force to the protrusion of the slide core, causing the slide core to rotate. The two tensioning rollers connected to it are displaced, increasing the distance between them and the height, thereby extending the distance the warp needs to travel at this point and simultaneously applying force to the warp, thus tightening it. At this time, the turntable is compressed by the spring, causing it to reverse. When the turntable reverses, the limiting wheel connected to it will be locked in the limiting groove by the limiting head and prevented from rotating by the lifting part on the bottom side of the limiting head. This prevents the limiting wheel and the turntable from reversing, allowing the sliding core and the two tensioning rollers connected to it to temporarily remain in their original positions.

[0023] The two displaced racks drive the connected pull frame to move, which in turn causes the pull frame to pull the connected link two, which in turn causes the link two to pull the displacement frame connected to the movable shaft, which in turn causes the displacement frame to pull the movable shaft to move, causing the movable shaft to disengage from the standard speed gear at this time, and then engage another engagement piece, causing another set of meshing gears one and two to drive the movable shaft, which in turn causes the speed transmitted by the movable shaft to the feed roller to decrease, so as to create a speed difference with the take-up roller of the loom;

[0024] With the coordination of the above two processes, the warp yarn dynamically adjusts its tension in a timely manner and applies force to the detection roller, thereby resetting the slide. At the same time, the air exchange valve is pulled to reset, connecting the pressurization chamber and the exhaust chamber. The steam entering the air exchange chamber enters the retraction chamber through the pressure relief chamber and the pipe, and the steam in the cylinder propulsion chamber is discharged, causing the piston shaft to reset. The displacement rack is pulled back to reset and engages the toothed ring in the opposite direction. The toothed ring reverses and engages the pawl through the ratchet, causing the pawl to tilt towards the groove on the inner shaft and pull the torsion spring connected to it. The compressed torsion spring resets the toothed ring, allowing it to rotate freely without affecting the inner shaft. The pull frame connected to the rack is displaced and reset, thereby restoring the rotation speed of the wire feed roller. The steam entering the retraction chamber will also perform small-scale heat treatment on the warp yarn in this area through the jet pipe connected to the cylinder.

[0025] One of the wire feeding rollers is driven by a reciprocating screw that rotates through a belt pulley and two meshing bevel gears. When the transmission jet frame moves back and forth, the warp is heat-treated with steam. This displacement causes the top contact head to indirectly abut against the contact frame connected to the lifting member, thereby causing the lifting member to move upward and lift the limiting head. This temporarily releases the limiting head from the limiting wheel, and then re-limits it, giving the limiting wheel a temporary tendency to reverse. This causes the turntable connected to it to reverse, and the transmission linkage pulls back, gradually resetting the sliding core and its connected tensioning roller. This gradually releases the dynamic tension of the warp and returns it to a normal tension state, preventing the transient contact tension compensation from loosening again.

[0026] The advantages of the invention compared to existing technologies are:

[0027] 1. This invention can monitor the warp tension in real time and immediately tighten it dynamically when warp slack is detected. By slowing down the feeding and extending the feeding distance, the warp can be quickly restored to tension, effectively avoiding fabric defects caused by warp slack, thereby improving the appearance and internal quality of the fabric, reducing the defect rate, and increasing production efficiency.

[0028] 2. This invention can gradually release the dynamic tension of the warp yarn after it has been subjected to maximum tension treatment, and return it to a normal tension state, preventing the relaxation phenomenon from reappearing after the transient contact tension compensation, thereby maintaining the warp feeding stability of the loom.

[0029] 3. This invention can heat-treat the warp threads, eliminating internal stress under heat and making it easier to maintain tension. It can also heat the warp threads evenly, avoiding damage caused by local overheating and further optimizing the physical properties of the fabric. Attached Figure Description

[0047] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, but these are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0048] This invention provides a warp feed transmission mechanism for a flexible rapier loom, comprising:

[0049] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The inclined frame 2 has multiple detection rollers 4 installed on its inner wall via a detection assembly. When the warp yarn changes from a taut state to a slack state on the detection rollers 4, a slack signal is detected, triggering the slide 10 slidably connected on both sides of the inclined frame 2 to move. The rear bottom end of the inclined frame 2 is rotatably connected to a feeding roller 42.

[0050] Specifically, the warp yarns are wound in a cyclic S-path on the detection roller 4, which allows the warp yarns to be taut on 4. The detection roller itself is made of a lightweight material, such as carbon fiber, which makes it lightweight and allows for sufficient stress when subjected to force. When continuously subjected to the force of the taut warp yarns, it can reduce the rotation caused by gravity.

[0051] Please see the appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 The detection assembly includes multiple rotating seats 6 that are equidistantly fixed to both sides of the inner wall of the inclined frame 2. The interior of the rotating seat 6 is connected to a torsion shaft 7 via a spring. A rotating frame 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the torsion shaft 7. Both ends of the rotating frame 5 are rotatably connected to the detection roller 4. A guide roller 8 is fixedly connected to the other side of the torsion shaft 7. A guide groove is provided on the outer wall of the guide roller 8. A transmission head 9 is fixedly connected to the top side of the slide 10. The top end of the transmission head 9 is located inside the guide groove.

[0052] Specifically, when the warp drive mechanism feeds the warp, the front end of the warp is pulled by the take-up roller of the loom, and the rear end of the warp is pulled by the detection roller 4, tension roller 11 and feed roller 28 in sequence to achieve a taut state. The taut warp applies force to the adjacent set of detection rollers 4, so that the two adjacent detection rollers 4 are subjected to opposite forces, which in turn causes the rotating frame 5 and the torsion shaft 7 connected to the detection roller 4 to twist the spring, so that the torsion shaft 7 and the rotating frame 5 and the guide roller 8 connected to it are in the initial equilibrium posture, that is, the warp is taut. When the warp is slack due to external force, the slack of the warp will be dynamically adjusted. The warp that loses its taut state will lose the force applied to the detection roller 4, so that the detection roller 4, together with the structure including the torsion shaft 7 connected to it, is reset by the compression of the rotating seat 6 and rotates, causing the guide roller 8 connected to it to rotate, causing the guide groove on the surface of the guide roller 8 to shift, and pulling the transmission head 9 and the slide 10 connected to multiple transmission heads 9 to move.

[0053] The frame 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the rear end of the inclined frame 2. Two sliding cores 12 are slidably connected to the left and right ends of the top side of the frame 1, and the two adjacent sliding cores 12 are in a mirror tilt state. Tensioning rollers 11 are rotatably connected to the side of the sliding cores 12 at both ends and the rear side of the frame 1. The sliding cores 12 are displaced by the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly is triggered by the one-way ratchet by the racks 22 that slide horizontally on both sides of the front end of the frame 1. Lifting members 18 are slidably connected to the bottom ends of the left and right sides of the frame 1. The lifting assembly is connected to the lifting members 18 so as to be reset when the lifting members 18 rise. The racks 22 are displaced by the pushing assembly triggered by the slide 10.

[0054] Please see the appendix Figure 8 - Appendix Figure 10 The propulsion assembly includes cylinders 23 fixedly connected to both ends of the front side of the frame 1. The two cylinders 23 are mirror symmetrical. An air exchange chamber 25 is provided on the bottom side of the cylinder 23. A piston shaft 24 is slidably connected inside the cylinder 23. The rear side of the piston shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the rack 22. The inside of the cylinder 23 is divided into a propulsion chamber and a retraction chamber by the piston shaft 24. A pressurization chamber, an exhaust chamber and a pressure relief chamber are sequentially opened at the top of the air exchange chamber 25. An air exchange valve 26 is slidably connected to the bottom of the air exchange chamber 25. One end of the air exchange valve 26 is fixedly connected to the slide 10. The pressurization chamber is connected to the propulsion chamber through a pipe, and the pressure relief chamber is connected to the retraction chamber through a pipe.

[0055] Specifically, after the slide 10 is displaced, it will cause the air exchange valve 26 to move, connecting the exhaust chamber and the pressure relief chamber. The steam entering from the input end of the air exchange valve 26 enters the propulsion chamber inside the cylinder 23 through the pressurization chamber and the pipe, thereby causing the piston shaft 24 to be displaced by the steam. The piston shaft 24 pushes the rack 22 connected to it to move. When the slide 10 returns to its original position, it will simultaneously pull the air exchange valve 26 to return to its original position, connecting the pressurization chamber and the exhaust chamber. The steam entering the air exchange chamber 25 enters the retraction chamber through the pressure relief chamber and the pipe, and the steam discharged from the propulsion chamber of the cylinder 23 causes the piston shaft 24 to return to its original position. The steam entering the retraction chamber will also perform small-scale heat treatment on the meridian of this area through the jet pipe 27 connected to the cylinder 23.

[0056] Please see the appendix Figure 5 - Appendix Figure 7The lifting assembly includes two turntables 15, which are mirror-symmetrical. One center of each turntable 15 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 via a torsion spring. Guide frames 13 slide vertically along the middle of both sides of the frame 1, with both ends of the guide frames 13 fitted onto the protrusions of the sliding core 12. A connecting rod 14 is rotatably connected to the outer periphery of one side of each turntable 15, with the top end of the connecting rod 14 rotatably connected to the middle end of the guide frame 13. A limit wheel 16 is fixedly connected to the other side of each turntable 15. A limiting groove is provided on the outer periphery of 6, and the inside of the limiting groove abuts against the limiting head 17. The limiting head 17 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 via a torsion spring. The bottom side of the limiting head 17 abuts against the top side of the lifting member 18. The one-way ratchet includes an inner shaft 19 fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the limiting wheel 16 and a toothed ring 20 fixedly connected to the outer periphery of one side of the limiting wheel 16. A pawl 21 is rotatably connected to the outer periphery of the inner shaft 19 via a torsion spring. A ratchet tooth is provided on the inner periphery of the toothed ring 20, and the pawl 21 and the ratchet tooth mesh with each other.

[0057] Specifically, the displacement rack 22 engages the gear ring 20 in a forward rotation, causing its inner circumference ratchet to engage the pawl 21. The pawl 21 generates a backward tilting force, which is limited by the inner shaft 19. This, in turn, applies force to the inner shaft 19, causing it to drive the connected limiting wheel 16 and turntable 15 to rotate in a forward direction. When the limiting wheel 16 rotates in a forward direction, it applies force to the limiting head 17 through its outer circumference limiting groove, causing the limiting head 17 to lift up and be reset by the torsion spring compressed by its rotation. The rotating turntable 1... The fifth compression spring connected to it simultaneously drives the connecting rod 14, which in turn pushes the eccentric wheel and connecting rod structure to apply force to the guide frame 13. This causes the guide frame 13 to apply force to the protrusion of the slide core 12, which in turn causes the slide core 12 to move the two tension rollers 11 connected to it. This increases the distance between the two tension rollers 11 and their height, thereby extending the distance the warp needs to travel at this point and simultaneously applying force to the warp, thus tightening the warp. At this time, the turntable 15... Under the action of the compressed spring, a tendency to reverse occurs. When the tendency to reverse occurs, the limiting wheel 16 connected to the turntable 15 will be stuck in the limiting groove by the limiting head 17. It will also be restricted by the lifting part 18 on the bottom side of the limiting head 17, preventing it from rotating. This prevents the limiting wheel 16 and the turntable 15 from reversing, keeping the sliding core 12 and the two tensioning rollers 11 connected to it in their original positions temporarily. After the warp tensioning is completed, the displacement rack 22 is pulled back to its original position. Due to the dual warp dynamic adjustment, the warp feeding structure will maximize the tension of the warp in a short time, allowing the tension detection structure to recover quickly and preventing the rack 22 from staying for too long. This will allow it to reset in time and prevent interference with the operation of other structures. After the rack 22 is pulled back to its original position, the pawl 21 leans towards the groove on the inner shaft 19 and pulls the torsion spring connected to it. The torsion spring is compressed and resets, allowing the gear ring 20 to rotate freely without affecting the inner shaft 19.

[0058] Please see the appendix Figure 11 - Appendix Figure 13 The feeding frame 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rear side of the frame 1, and two wire feeding rollers 28 are rotatably connected to the inner wall. One side of one of the wire feeding rollers 28 is connected to a gearbox via a synchronous pulley and synchronous belt. The gearbox is driven by a motor to transmit power to one of the wire feeding rollers 28 for feeding. Two racks 22 control the gearbox through a pull frame 35 fixedly connected to their adjacent sides to slow down the feeding speed of one of the wire feeding rollers 28 when the warp changes from a taut state to a slack state, until the warp returns to a taut state.

[0059] Please see the appendix Figure 11 - Appendix Figure 13 The jet frame 31 is used to heat-treat the warp yarn on the bottom side of the outlet using the input steam, so that the warp yarn can be relieved of stress after heat treatment and is easier to be in a taut state. One of the feed rollers 28 has a sliding assembly connected to the other side of the conveyor roller 31 via a belt pulley, so that the jet frame 31 can be moved to perform heat treatment, avoiding local overheating and damage to the warp yarn. The sliding assembly includes a reciprocating screw 29 rotatably connected to one side of the feed frame 3 and a slide bar 30 fixedly connected to the other side of the feed frame 3. The rear end of the reciprocating screw 29 passes through... Two meshing bevel gears are connected to the other side of one of the feed rollers 28 via a belt pulley. One end of the jet frame 31 is sleeved on the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 29, and the other end of the jet frame 31 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rod 30. A contact head 32 is fixedly connected to the top side of the jet frame 31, and a contact frame 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the two lifting members 18. When the jet frame 31 is raised to an oblique displacement position, the contact head 32 abuts against the contact frame 33, so that the lifting member 18 will produce an upward displacement.

[0060] Specifically, one of the wire feeding rollers 28 is driven by a reciprocating screw 29 via a pulley and belt, which in turn drives two meshing bevel gears. During the reciprocating movement of the transmission jet frame 31 and the heat treatment of the warp yarn using steam, the displacement causes the top contact head 32 to indirectly abut against the contact frame 33 connected to the lifting member 18, thereby causing the lifting member 18 to move upward and lift the limiting head 17. Please refer to the appendix again. Figure 5 - Appendix Figure 7 At this time, the limit head 17 will temporarily disengage from the limit wheel 16 and then re-limit it, thereby allowing the limit wheel 16 to temporarily reverse, causing the turntable 15 connected to it to reverse, and the transmission link 14 to pull back, thereby causing the slide core 12 and its connected tension roller 11 to gradually reset, so that the warp thread gradually releases the dynamic tension and returns to the normal tension state, preventing the transient contact tension compensation from loosening again.

[0061] Please see the appendix Figure 14 - Appendix Figure 16The gearbox includes a mounting frame 34 fixedly connected to the bottom side of the frame 1. Inside the mounting frame 34, there are two rotating gears (gear 1 and gear 2), which mesh with each other. Gears 1 and 2 are of different sizes, and their positions are symmetrical at an oblique angle to each other. A drive shaft 37 is fixedly connected to the adjacent side of one gear 1 and one gear 2. One end of the drive shaft 37 is driven by a motor. A movable shaft 36 is fitted inside the inner wall of the other gear 1 and the other gear 2. The middle end of the movable shaft 36 is connected to the other gear 1 and the other gear 2 via a meshing disc. A displacement frame is rotatably connected to one end of the movable shaft 36, and the top of the displacement frame is connected to the mounting frame 34. The outer wall of the frame is slidably connected, the bottom end of the pull frame 35 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the mounting frame 34, the top side of the mounting frame 34 is provided with a connecting rod 41, one end of the connecting rod 41 is rotatably connected to the pull frame 35, and the other end of the connecting rod 41 is rotatably connected to the displacement frame. The other end of the movable shaft 36 is connected to a rotating sleeve 40 through a spline shaft spline groove. The rotating sleeve 40 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the mounting frame 34. The mounting frame 34 is connected to one side of one of the wire feeding rollers 28 through a synchronous pulley and synchronous belt. The biting disc includes a biting shaft 38 fixedly connected to the middle of the movable shaft 36. Biting pieces 39 are fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the other gear 1 and the other gear 2. The biting shaft 38 and one of the biting pieces 39 are biting each other.

[0062] Specifically, under normal conditions, i.e., when the warp is taut, the motor drives the power shaft 37 to rotate, causing the power shaft 37 to drive two sets of meshing gears 1 and 2 to rotate. This causes the meshing plate 39, which is engaged with the meshing shaft 38, to transmit rotational power to the movable shaft 36. The movable shaft 36 then drives the rotating sleeve 40 to rotate via the spline shaft and spline groove, and drives the feed roller 28 to rotate via the synchronous pulley and synchronous belt. This ensures that the speed of the feed roller 28 matches the speed of the loom's take-up roller, so that the warp is in a balanced state at both ends during the feeding process, achieving tautness. During speed change, the connecting pull frame 35 is displaced by the two displaced racks 22, which in turn pulls the connecting rod 41, which in turn pulls the displacement frame connected to the movable shaft 36. This causes the displacement frame to pull the movable shaft 36, displacing it from its standard speed setting. The movable shaft then engages with another engagement piece 39, causing another set of meshing gears 1 and 2 to drive the movable shaft 36. This reduces the speed of the movable shaft 36 transmitted to the yarn feed roller 28, creating a speed difference with the loom's take-up roller. This results in the warp yarn being taut at one end under the action of the loom's take-up roller, where the force applied is greater than the force applied at the other end. After the warp yarn tension is restored, the pull frame 35 connected to the rack 22 is reset, thus restoring the speed of the yarn feed roller 28.

[0063] A jet pipe 27 is fixedly connected to one side of the two cylinders 23. A spray head is installed on the outer wall of the jet pipe 27. The jet pipe 27 is connected to the retraction chamber. The bottom input end of the air exchange valve 26 and the input end of the jet frame 31 are both externally connected to a steam supply pipe to provide power and a safe medium for heat treatment.
