[0043] Embodiment 1,
[0044] As Figures 1 to 4 , the present embodiment provides a three-dimensional braiding wire tightening device. The three-dimensional braiding wire tightening device comprises a wire tightening unit 1, a mounting frame 2, and a driving unit 3. A plurality of mounting openings 25 are provided on the frame body of the mounting frame 2 along the plane of the frame opening, and are horizontally connected between the inside and outside of the frame opening. A plurality of wire tightening units 1 with wire holes 11 are arranged in a matrix in the frame opening, and the adjacent wire tightening units 1 are movably spliced in the frame opening, and the plane of each wire hole 11 is parallel to the plane of the frame opening. A plurality of driving units 3 are movably inserted into the plurality of mounting openings 25, and the power output end 31 of each driving unit 3 is connected to the wire tightening unit 1 located at the edge of the matrix, for pushing each row of wire tightening units 1 to move in the row direction, and each column of wire tightening units 1 to move in the column direction.
[0045] Specifically as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the mounting frame 2 is a rectangular frame, which includes first frame body 21, second frame body 22, third frame body 23 and fourth frame body 24 which are parallel to each other; the first frame body 21, the second frame body 22, the third frame body 23 and the fourth frame body 24 form a rectangular mounting frame 2. A plurality of mounting openings 25 are provided on the first frame body 21, the second frame body 22, the third frame body 23 and the fourth frame body 24, respectively.
[0046] The mounting holes 25 on the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are arranged from one end close to the fourth frame 24 to one end close to the third frame 23 in sequence, and the mounting holes 25 on the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 correspond to each other, the center axes of the corresponding mounting holes 25 are the same, and are arranged in parallel with the fourth frame 24. The mounting holes 25 on the third frame 23 and the fourth frame 24 are arranged from one end close to the first frame 21 to one end close to the second frame 22 in sequence, and the mounting holes 25 on the third frame 23 and the fourth frame 24 correspond to each other, the center axes of the corresponding mounting holes 25 are the same, and are arranged in parallel with the first frame 21.
[0047] The plurality of tensioning units 1 are arranged in a matrix in the frame opening, the number of rows of the matrix corresponds to the number of mounting holes 25 on the third frame 23 / the fourth frame 24, and the tensioning units 1 at both ends of each row of the tensioning units 1 are connected with the driving units 3 on the mounting holes 25 of the third frame 23 and the fourth frame 24 respectively, and the driving units 3 on the third frame 23 and the fourth frame 24 drive each row of the tensioning units 1 to move in a row direction.
[0048] The number of columns of the matrix corresponds to the number of mounting holes 25 on the first frame 21 / the second frame 22, and the tensioning units 1 at both ends of each column of the tensioning units 1 are connected with the driving units 3 on the mounting holes 25 of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 respectively, and the driving units 3 on the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 drive each column of the tensioning units 1 to move in a column direction. The yarn 8 passes through the threading hole 11 of each tensioning unit 1, and the driving units 3 drive the tensioning units 1 to move in a row direction and a column direction, thereby driving the yarn 8 to move in a row direction and a column direction synchronously.
[0049] The driving unit 3 can be an electric driving unit 3 or a pneumatic driving unit 3. For example, a motor is used to provide driving force, and the power output end 31 of the driving unit 3 moves in the axial direction through the rotational movement of the motor, so as to push the tensioning unit 1 to move. For another example, an air cylinder is used to provide driving force, and the piston moves through compressed air, thereby pushing the power output end 31 of the driving unit 3 to move in the axial direction.
[0050] In the embodiment, one yarn 8 is arranged in the threading hole 11 of each tensioning unit 1, and the yarn 8 is responsible for positioning and movement. The power output end 31 is connected with the tensioning unit 1, and pushes the tensioning unit 1 and the weaving base plate 5 to move in the same rule in a row direction and a column direction synchronously, so that the movement rule of the yarn 8 is transmitted from the weaving base plate 5 to the weaving opening 6. The synchronous movement mechanism ensures that the yarn 8 always maintains a consistent tensioning state in the entire weaving process, and avoids the problems of uneven tension and path deviation.
[0051] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 2 provides a firm support structure, each tight line unit 1 and the driving unit 3 are integrated on the mounting frame 2, which ensures the stability of the whole system, the tight line unit 1 is movably spliced in the frame opening, and the movement in the row and column directions is realized under the driving action of the driving unit 3.
[0052] As an embodiment of this embodiment, the splicing mode between adjacent tight line units 1 can be selected:
[0053] Mode one: the tight line unit 1 is provided with a magnetic component, and the adjacent tight line units 1 are magnetically connected through the magnetic component, that is, the adjacent tight line units 1 are spliced through magnetic force. The driving unit 3 provides driving force to push the tight line unit 1, and the tight line unit 1 overcomes the magnetic force to realize the movement in the row and column directions. Through this magnetic connection mode, the adjacent tight line units 1 can be reliably spliced together and flexibly moved under the action of the driving unit 3, which ensures the stable operation and easy operation of the device.
[0054] Mode two: the adjacent tight line units 1 are spliced through the mortise and tenon structure, that is, the mortise part of one tight line unit 1 is spliced with the tenon part of another adjacent tight line unit 1, and the mortise and tenon connection forms the movement track of the adjacent row or column tight line units 1, so that the tight line unit 1 can realize row and column movement.
[0055] Mode three: the tight line unit 1 has a splicing part outside the threading hole 11, which is arranged along a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the threading hole 11; preferably, the tight line unit 1 is alternately provided with a splicing groove and a splicing convex, and the splicing groove and the splicing convex both extend along a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the threading hole 11; the splicing groove and the splicing convex of the adjacent tight line units 1 are movably spliced together and can move along the direction in which the splicing groove and the splicing convex extend.
[0056] The splicing groove and the splicing convex are alternately arranged on the tight line unit 1, so that the adjacent tight line units 1 can be embedded with each other, and the splicing groove and the splicing convex extend along a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the threading hole 11, so that the tight line unit 1 can move along a predetermined path, preventing the tight line unit 1 from sliding laterally during movement, effectively ensuring the directionality and stability of the tight line unit 1 movement, and ensuring the accuracy of the movement path.
[0057] Further, the splicing part extends transversely along a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the threading hole 11 to form a transverse splicing segment, and extends along a direction perpendicular to the transverse splicing segment to form a longitudinal splicing segment. The transverse splicing segments of the adjacent tight line units 1 are spliced into column tight line units 1, and the longitudinal splicing segments of the adjacent tight line units 1 are spliced into row tight line units 1, each column tight line unit 1 and row tight line unit 1 forms a matrix; each column tight line unit 1 can move along its longitudinal splicing segment, and each row tight line unit 1 can move along its transverse splicing segment.
[0058] Preferably, the transverse splicing segments and the longitudinal splicing segments of the splicing part are connected end to end. Further preferably, at least two transverse splicing segments are parallel to each other and symmetric about the central axis of the threading hole 11, and at least two longitudinal splicing segments are parallel to each other and symmetric about the central axis of the threading hole 11.
[0059] The splicing part is designed as transverse splicing segments and longitudinal splicing segments, and the splicing segments of adjacent tight line units move along the transverse and longitudinal directions respectively. Through this clear directional design, the movement path of the tight line unit is effectively controlled, avoiding the path deviation caused by multi-directional movement, and ensuring the stability of the movement path.
[0060] The rows of tight line units 1 and the columns of tight line units 1 form a matrix, ensuring that each tight line unit 1 follows a fixed path when moving. This matrix structure ensures that the movement path remains consistent throughout the process, which helps to achieve precise control and stable movement path.
[0061] Further, the transverse splicing segments and the longitudinal splicing segments are symmetric about the central axis of the threading hole 11. This symmetric design makes the force on the tight line unit uniform when moving, reducing the problem of structural deviation or unstable movement path caused by asymmetric force. At least two transverse splicing segments are parallel to each other, and at least two longitudinal splicing segments are parallel to each other. This parallel design further ensures the tightness of splicing and the stability of movement.
[0062] In this embodiment, the tight line unit 1 can be formed in various ways, for example:
[0063] Method one: the tight line unit 1 is a complete block structure, the central region of the block structure is provided with a threading hole 11, and the side wall of the block structure is provided with transverse splicing segments and longitudinal splicing segments.
[0064] Method two: the tight line unit 1 is formed by a plurality of mounting plates; specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , a plurality of mounting plates with through holes 121 are stacked and arranged concentrically to form the tight line unit 1, the through holes 121 are stacked to form the threading hole 11 of the tight line unit, and the side parts of adjacent mounting plates are movably spliced.
[0065] Further, the mounting plate is a rectangular mounting plate, the through hole 121 on the rectangular mounting plate is eccentrically arranged, the center of each mounting plate and the center of each through hole 121 are coplanarly arranged, and there is a spacing between each adjacent mounting plate, i.e. the spacing 4 between the adjacent mounting plates. The adjacent mounting plates and the adjacent mounting plates are spliced by inserting the spacing 4. Preferably, the corners of each mounting plate are rounded. Among them, the two mounting plates in direct contact are adjacent mounting plates, and the two mounting plates with one mounting plate in between are adjacent mounting plates.
[0066] by Figure 2 For example, the tensioning unit 1 is formed by a first mounting plate 12, a second mounting plate 13, a third mounting plate 14, a fourth mounting plate 15, a fifth mounting plate 16, a sixth mounting plate 17, a seventh mounting plate 18, an eighth mounting plate 19, and two mounting plates located below the eighth mounting plate 19. The first mounting plate 12 and the second mounting plate 13 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the first mounting plate 12 and the third mounting plate 14 are arranged next to each other.
[0067] Furthermore, the areas where the through holes 121 of each adjacent mounting plate are located are stacked, the centers of each adjacent mounting plate are located on both sides of the central axis of the through hole 121, the centers of each subsequent adjacent mounting plate are located on the same side of the central axis of the through hole 121, and the sides of each subsequent adjacent mounting plate are flush.
[0068] Taking the first mounting plate 12, the second mounting plate 13, and the third mounting plate 14 as an example, the centers of the first mounting plate 12 and the second mounting plate 13 are located on both sides of the central axis of the through hole 121, and the centers of the first mounting plate 12 and the third mounting plate 14 are located on the same side of the central axis of the through hole 121. The second mounting plate 13 is sandwiched between the first mounting plate 12 and the third mounting plate 14, and the first mounting plate 12 and the third mounting plate 14 are separated by the second mounting plate 13 to form a secondary adjacent mounting plate interval 4.
[0069] Furthermore, the first side 123 of the first mounting plate, the fourth side 126 of the first mounting plate, and the first side 131 of the second mounting plate are parallel to each other; the second side 124 of the first mounting plate, the third side 125 of the first mounting plate, and the second side 132 of the second mounting plate are parallel to each other; and the first side 123 of the first mounting plate and the first side 141 of the third mounting plate are aligned vertically.
[0070] In this embodiment, the interval 4 between adjacent mounting plates forms the movement path of the tensioning unit 1, ensuring that the tensioning unit 1 can move along a predetermined trajectory. This design keeps the movement path straight, reducing instability caused by path deviation. Furthermore, the sides of adjacent mounting plates are aligned, such as the first side 123 of the first mounting plate and the first side 141 of the third mounting plate being aligned vertically. This alignment design ensures that the tensioning unit 1 maintains a consistent direction during movement, further guaranteeing the straightness and stability of the movement path.
[0071] The adjacent mounting plates are interlocked with the mounting plates of the adjacent tensioning unit 1 via a spacing of 4. This design not only ensures stable splicing of the tensioning unit 1 but also provides excellent support and fixation during movement. Through the spacing of 4 and the interlocking design, the tensioning unit 1 effectively reduces swaying and offset during movement, ensuring stable system operation. The splicing design maintains tight contact between the tensioning units 1, increasing the overall stability and reliability of the system.
[0072] Furthermore, in this invention, connecting holes 122 are formed around the through holes 121 of each mounting plate, specifically as follows: Figure 2 As shown, four connecting holes 122 are formed around the through hole 121. The connecting holes 122 of the several mounting plates are arranged concentrically, and the connectors of the tensioning unit 1 are passed through the connecting holes 122 of each mounting plate to connect the several mounting plates together to form the tensioning unit 1.
[0073] Alternatively, each mounting plate may be integrally molded.
[0074] In this invention, connecting holes 122 are made around the through holes 121 of each mounting plate, and multiple mounting plates are connected together using connectors to form a tensioning unit 1. This design not only enhances the structural stability and robustness but also simplifies the assembly and disassembly process, improving operational efficiency. The concentrically arranged connecting holes 122 ensure precise alignment of each mounting plate during connection, reducing problems caused by installation errors. Precise alignment improves the accuracy of the tensioning unit 1 during operation, ensuring high quality in the weaving process. Through the design of the connecting holes 122 and connectors, each mounting plate can be evenly stressed, avoiding deformation or damage caused by localized stress concentration. This even stress distribution characteristic improves the durability and stability of the equipment. Furthermore, the connecting holes 122 reduce the weight of each mounting plate, thereby reducing the weight of the tensioning unit 1, making it easier for the tensioning unit 1 to float between the braiding base 5 and the braiding opening 6.
[0075] In one embodiment of this invention, the drive unit 3 is a drive rod structure, with one end located inside the frame opening to form a power output end 31 connected to the tensioning unit 1, and the other end passing through the mounting opening 25 of the frame and movably mounted on the frame. Preferably, the power output end 31 consists of a plurality of insertion teeth 311 extending along the axial direction of the drive rod, which are inserted at intervals 4 with the next adjacent mounting plates formed by the side mounting plates of the tensioning unit 1.
[0076] Furthermore, the power output end 31 of the drive unit 3 has a radially protruding locking portion 312. A plurality of insertion teeth 311 extend axially outward from the end face of the locking portion 312 along the drive rod structure. The power output end 31 is located inside the frame of the mounting frame 2, and the locking portion 312 abuts against the inner wall of the frame. The other end of the drive rod structure opposite to the power output end 31 passes through the mounting opening 25 and is located on the outer side of the mounting frame 2. The other end of the drive rod structure opposite to the power output end 31 is connected to an external power source, such as a motor output shaft or a cylinder. The motor output shaft or cylinder pushes the drive rod structure along the mounting opening 25 towards the inside of the frame opening or drives the drive rod structure from the inside of the frame opening to the outside of the frame opening.
[0077] The power output end 31 has a radially protruding snap-fit portion 312 at its end, ensuring that the power output end 31 can firmly abut against the inner wall of the frame and prevent it from coming out of the mounting port 25 during movement. The insertion teeth 311 extend outward along the axial direction of the drive rod structure and are tightly inserted into the mounting plate of the tensioning unit 1 at a distance of 4, ensuring that the drive unit 3 can effectively transmit power and improve the reliability of the overall structure.
[0078] Example 2
[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a three-dimensional knitting device. The three-dimensional knitting device includes a knitting base 5 and a knitting opening 6. The knitting base 5 is located at the bottom of the entire knitting device, providing basic support and guidance for yarn arrangement, carrying the yarn carriers and yarns 8, and ensuring that the yarns 8 move along a predetermined path. The yarn carriers are mounted on the knitting base, and each yarn carrier controls the movement of one yarn, arranging the yarns along a predetermined path through four steps. The yarns 8 pass through the yarn carriers and are fixed between the knitting base 5 and the knitting opening 6, interlacing and forming a preform 7 during the knitting process. The knitting opening 6 is located above or to the side of the knitting base 5, providing space and guidance for the yarns 8 to be knitted, guiding and fixing the position of the yarns 8, and ensuring that the yarns 8 maintain the correct path and tension during movement.
[0080] The process of weaving yarn is as follows:
[0081] Step 1: The yarn carrier moves along the direction of travel and arranges the yarn 8 in the predetermined position.
[0082] Step 2: The yarn carrier moves along the column direction to interweave and arrange the yarns 8.
[0083] Step 3: The yarn carrier moves in the opposite direction to continue arranging the yarn 8.
[0084] Step 4: The yarn carrier moves in the opposite column direction to complete one cycle.
[0085] Cyclic movement: the carrier returns to the initial state after every four steps, completing a weaving cycle of the preform. One machine cycle generates one cell of the preform. During the weaving process, the yarns 8 interweave with each other, the preform enters the locked state, and as the number of interweaving stitches increases, the yarn bending degree increases, the preform gradually tightens, and the yarn tension gradually increases. The carrier moves accurately along the predetermined trajectory on the plane, causing many fibers arranged in the same direction to interweave with each other to form a net-like overall structure, and finally the interweaving surface is tightened to form a preform of different shapes.
[0086] The three-dimensional weaving device in the embodiment further comprises a three-dimensional weaving tensioning device of the application, which is arranged between the weaving base 5 and the weaving port 6, and the yarn 8 is woven at the weaving port 6 after passing through the threading hole 11 of the three-dimensional weaving tensioning device from the weaving base 5. Preferably, the three-dimensional weaving tensioning device is arranged close to the weaving port. More preferably, the frame opening of the mounting frame of the three-dimensional weaving tensioning device is arranged in parallel with the weaving base.
[0087] Specifically, the tensioning unit 1 of the three-dimensional weaving tensioning device corresponds to the arrangement of the carriers on the weaving base 5 one by one, each carrier controls the movement of one yarn, and the yarn is arranged according to the predetermined path through four-step movement. Synchronously, each tensioning unit 1 carries its own yarn 8 and moves synchronously according to the movement law of the weaving base 5, so that the movement law of the yarn 8 is transmitted from the weaving base 5 to the weaving port 6, avoiding interweaving, winding and bonding of the yarn 8, thereby realizing the automatic tensioning function. At the same time, the control of the weaving angle can be realized by adjusting the distance between the three-dimensional weaving tensioning device and the weaving port 6.
[0088] Further, the mounting frame 2 of the three-dimensional weaving tensioning device is similar in shape to the weaving base 5 and is also a rectangular structure, and the area of the frame opening of the mounting frame 2 is smaller than that of the weaving base 5. The mounting frame 2 is suspended above the weaving base 5, and the yarn passes through each tensioning unit 1 arranged in the frame opening of the mounting frame 2 from the weaving base 5 to form the preform 7 at the weaving port 6.
[0089] Further, the three-dimensional weaving device comprises a mounting bracket arranged with one end on the plane where the weaving base 5 is located and with the other end extending towards the weaving port 6, and the mounting frame 2 is arranged on the mounting bracket and is located between the weaving base 5 and the weaving port 6. Each tensioning unit 1 can move longitudinally and transversely in the frame opening of the mounting frame 2. Alternatively, to avoid affecting the formation of the stitch, each tensioning unit 1 is preferably designed to float between the weaving base 5 and the weaving port 6 and to move longitudinally and transversely.
