Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a weft selection device for textiles, belonging to the field of textile technology. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the textile industry, looms typically use 8-color or 12-color weft selection, with a maximum of 16-color weft selection. A 16-color weft selection system corresponds to 16 weft selection fingers. To enrich the patterns produced by looms and expand their application range, resulting in looms with diverse patterns suitable for high-end fabrics, improvements to the weft selection device are needed. One method is to increase the number of weft selection needles. However, increasing the number of needles results in significant movement and inertia of the color selection mechanism during weft changes. This drawback becomes more pronounced when adjacent shuttles are used alternately. Currently, product structures rely on electromagnetic induction to drive the weft yarn, operating by turning the power on and off. However, the electromagnetic coils are prone to damage during this process, reducing their lifespan, increasing production costs, and requiring replacement after damage, thus reducing work efficiency.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, corresponding solutions have emerged in the industry. For example, Chinese invention patent application CN110453346A, entitled "A Sixteen-Color Weft Selection Device," describes a weft selection needle comprising a needle head, a guide rod, an inertial impact rod, and a needle tail. These components are connected by a boss. The guide rod is hollow and contains a compression spring that applies force to the contact surface of the inertial impact rod, causing the spring to abut and engage with one end of the rod. The inner diameter of the guide rod is larger than the outer diameter of the inertial impact rod, and the length of the guide rod is greater than the length of the inertial impact rod. This invention overcomes the problem of large movement and inertia in the color selection mechanism during weft changing, thereby improving the loom's working efficiency and reducing production costs.
[0004] In the aforementioned patent, a compression spring is used to solve the problem of large movement and inertia in the color selection mechanism. However, the following problems arise during use: A compression spring is installed in the guide rod to provide a buffering effect. However, since the compression spring is inserted into the guide rod, one end of the spring is connected to the inertial impact rod, while the other end of the spring is difficult to fix to the guide rod. As a result, the spring moves around in the guide rod as the inertial impact rod moves, leading to a poor buffering effect.
[0005] Meanwhile, the spring's elasticity will weaken during long-term use, resulting in poor control of the device. In some cases, the spring may even get stuck, causing the device to lose its adjustment capability.
[0006] 3. Due to the relatively weak strength of the weft yarn, the current device uses springs for adjustment. However, springs cannot accurately detect the pressure on the weft yarn, which often leads to yarn breakage during use. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a multi-color weft selection device to solve the problems faced in the industry.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a weft selection device for textiles, comprising two interconnected weft selection shells in a semi-circular structure, wherein a plurality of mounting grooves are provided on the inner wall of the weft selection shells, a weft lifting and moving structure is inserted into the mounting grooves, and a weft pressure detection structure is also provided on the weft lifting and moving structure, and side baffles are provided at the left and right ends of the weft selection shells.
[0009] Preferably, the weft lifting and moving structure includes a circular mounting base with an insertion boss on its arc-shaped surface. The insertion boss is inserted into the mounting groove. An inner mounting hole is provided at the center of the end of the mounting base. The end of the mounting base is also provided with a plurality of connecting through holes, which are evenly distributed on the side of the inner mounting hole.
[0010] Preferably, the side of the mounting base is also connected to a transition seat with a circular structure. The transition seat is provided with a plurality of transition threaded holes, and the transition threaded holes correspond one-to-one with the connecting through holes. The side of the transition seat is also provided with a lifting cylinder. The lifting cylinder and the transition seat are connected by screws. The cylinder shaft of the lifting cylinder passes through the side baffle and extends into the outside of the side baffle.
[0011] Preferably, the weft pressure detection structure includes a connecting bushing, which is sleeved on the cylinder shaft of the lifting cylinder. A pressure sensor is provided at the end of the connecting bushing, and a weft placement seat is provided on the pressure sensor.
[0012] Preferably, the weft placement seat includes a weft placement seat body, the upper part of which is a weft placement hole, and a side entry groove is provided on the side of the weft placement hole, the side entry groove extending from the outside of the weft placement seat body into the weft placement hole.
[0013] Preferably, the two sides of the side entry groove are provided with rounded corners.
[0014] Preferably, the weft-selective housing has multiple side-fixing threaded holes at both ends along its length.
[0015] Preferably, the side of the side baffle is provided with a plurality of side protrusions, the side protrusions are provided with side fixing through holes, and the center of the side baffle is provided with a wire outlet through hole.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are: when in use, the weft yarn is placed in the weft yarn placement hole. When the yarn color needs to be changed, the weft yarn will be pressed down in the weft yarn placement hole. When it is pressed down, it will drive the weft yarn placement seat to press against the pressure sensor. After the pressure sensor detects the set pressure value, it will activate the lifting cylinder and drive the weft yarn placement seat down, thereby reducing the pressure on the weft yarn and thus reducing the probability of yarn breakage. In this patent, the pressure sensor can accurately adjust the position of the weft yarn, improving the accuracy of detection and solving the problems caused by the use of springs for adjustment in the prior art.

The inner wall of the weft selection housing 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 101. This patent provides a plurality of mounting grooves 101 so as to adjust the front and rear positions of the weft lifting and moving structure 2 to accommodate the installation of lifting cylinders of different sizes.
[0031] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a weft lifting and moving structure 2 is inserted into the mounting groove 101, and a weft pressure detection structure 3 is also provided on the weft lifting and moving structure 2. Side baffles 6 are provided at the left and right ends of the weft selection housing 1.
[0032] This patent provides a weft lifting and moving structure 2, which includes a circular mounting base 201. An insertion boss 202 is provided on the arc-shaped surface of the mounting base 201. The insertion boss 202 is inserted into the mounting groove 101, and the mounting base 201 can fix the object more stably by means of the insertion boss 202.
[0033] In this patent, an inner mounting hole 203 is provided at the center of the end of the mounting base 201. The inner mounting hole 203 facilitates the placement of connecting wires. A plurality of connecting through holes 204 are also provided at the end of the mounting base 201, and the connecting through holes 204 are evenly distributed on the side of the inner mounting hole 203.
[0034] like Figure 8 As shown, the side of the mounting base 201 is also connected to a transition seat 4 with a circular structure. The transition seat 4 is provided with a plurality of transition threaded holes 401. The transition threaded holes 401 correspond one-to-one with the connecting through holes 204. The mounting base 201 and the transition seat 4 are fixed together by screws.
[0035] Furthermore, in order to prevent the weft yarn from being compressed during the production process, a lifting cylinder 402 is also provided on the side of the transition seat 4. The lifting cylinder 402 and the transition seat 4 are connected by screws. The cylinder shaft of the lifting cylinder 402 passes through the side baffle 103 and extends into the outside of the side baffle 103.
[0036] like Figure 9 As shown, the weft pressure detection structure 3 includes a connecting bushing 301, which is sleeved on the cylinder shaft of the lifting cylinder 403. A pressure sensor 302 is provided at the end of the connecting bushing 301, and a weft placement seat 5 is provided on the pressure sensor 302.
[0037] like Figure 10 As shown, the weft placement seat 5 includes a weft placement seat body 501. The upper part of the weft placement seat body 501 is provided with a weft placement hole 502. The side of the weft placement hole 502 is provided with a side entry groove 503. The side entry groove 503 extends from the outside of the weft placement seat body 501 into the weft placement hole 502.
[0038] In this patent, rounded corners 504 are provided on both sides of the side entry groove 503, which facilitates the placement and removal of the weft yarn.
[0039] To facilitate connection, multiple side fixing threaded holes 102 are further provided at both ends of the weft selection housing 1 along its length.

[0041] In use, select the appropriate lifting cylinder 402 according to actual needs, and connect the lifting cylinder 402 and the transition seat 4 together. In this patent, the transition seat 4 can be replaced according to different lifting cylinders 402. After the lifting cylinder 402 and the transition seat 4 are connected together, connect and fix the mounting seat 201 to the transition seat 4, so that the mounting seat 201, the transition seat 4 and the lifting cylinder 402 form a whole.
[0042] Place the mounting base 201 into the weft selection housing 1, so that the insertion boss 202 on the mounting base 201 is inserted into the mounting groove 101. The insertion boss 202 can effectively prevent the mounting base 201 from sliding in the weft selection housing 1. Pass the cylinder shaft of the lifting cylinder 402 through the side baffle 6 and extend it to the outside of the side baffle 6.

[0044] In use, the weft yarn is placed into the weft yarn placement hole. When the yarn color needs to be changed, the weft yarn will be pressed down in the weft yarn placement hole. When it is pressed down, it will cause the weft yarn placement seat to press against the pressure sensor. After the pressure sensor detects the set pressure value, it will activate the lifting cylinder and drive the weft yarn placement seat down, thereby reducing the pressure on the weft yarn and thus reducing the probability of yarn breakage. In this patent, the pressure sensor can accurately adjust the position of the weft yarn, improving the accuracy of detection and solving the problems caused by the use of springs for adjustment in the prior art.
