Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of textile technology, specifically to a heddle storage device for an air-jet loom. Background Technology

[0002] Air-jet looms are shuttleless looms that use jet airflow to guide the weft yarn through the shed. The working principle is to use air as the weft-guiding medium; the compressed airflow generated by the jet creates frictional traction on the weft yarn, pulling it through the shed. The jet of air achieves the purpose of weft insertion.

[0003] Air-jet looms require a lot of specialized textile equipment, with heddles being the most used. However, due to the special nature of heddles, their storage and arrangement can become somewhat messy when storing large quantities, making subsequent maintenance and retrieval difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a heddle storage device for air-jet looms, so as to achieve the purpose of neatly organizing and storing a large number of heddle yarns.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objective, a support block is fixedly connected to the surface of the heddle rod of a jet loom heddle storage device of the present invention. A rectangular cylinder is attached to the bottom of the support block. Slotted holes are opened on both the left and right sides of the rectangular cylinder. A first cylinder is attached to the inner wall of the slotted hole. A rubber sleeve is adhered to the surface of the first cylinder. The surface of the rubber sleeve is attached to the surface of the heddle rod. Limiting rings are attached to both the left and right sides of the rectangular cylinder. The inner wall of the limiting ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the first cylinder. A pressing mechanism is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rectangular cylinder. The bottom of the pressing mechanism is attached to the upper surface of the rubber sleeve.

[0006] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism includes a hollow plate, a nut, an adjusting bolt, and a pressing plate. The upper surface of the hollow plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rectangular tube, the inner wall of the hollow plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the nut, the inner wall of the nut is threadedly connected to the surface of the adjusting bolt, the bottom of the adjusting bolt is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressing plate, and the bottom of the pressing plate is in contact with the bottom of the rubber sleeve.

[0007] Furthermore, a hollow column is attached to the surface of the heddle rod, and rectangular rings are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the hollow column. A second cylinder is fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the rectangular ring. A rotating rod is attached to the surface of the second cylinder and both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the rectangular ring. A rubber pad is adhered to the side of the rotating rod. The left and right sides of the heddle rod are attached to the sides of the rubber pad. U-shaped spring pieces are fixedly connected to the sides of the rotating rod and the left and right sides of the hollow column.

[0008] Furthermore, the elastic force of the U-shaped spring is greater than the sum of the weights of the rotating rod and the rubber pad.

[0009] Furthermore, screws are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the rectangular tube, and threaded cylinders are threadedly connected to the surface of the screws.

[0010] Furthermore, the angle between the strip hole and the horizontal plane is 60°, and the two strip holes are inverted V-shape.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. By fitting the round holes at both ends of the heddle wire onto two heddle rods, the heddle rods fix and position the heddle wire. Each heddle rod can hold 800 to 850 heddle wires. This storage device allows operators to neatly organize and store large quantities of heddle wire. Simultaneously, the rectangular cylinder, strip hole, first cylinder, rubber sleeve, limiting ring, and pressing mechanism work together to allow the rubber sleeve to clamp or release the heddle rod. When the rubber sleeve releases the heddle rod, it can move freely left and right, thus allowing the distance between the two heddle rods on the storage device to be adjusted according to different heddle wire models.

[0012] 2. The hollow column is fitted onto the heddle rod by the elastic force of the U-shaped spring, and the rubber pad can make close contact with the heddle rod. The friction between the rubber pad and the heddle rod can fix the hollow column on the heddle rod. At this time, the hollow column can limit the heddle wire on the heddle rod, so that the heddle wire will not come off the heddle rod when the storage device is tilted. At the same time, the cooperation of the screw and the threaded cylinder can fix multiple storage devices together, making it more convenient to store multiple storage devices.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, in a heddle rod storage device for an air-jet loom of the present invention, a support block 2 is fixedly connected to the surface of the heddle rod 1. A rectangular tube 3 is attached to the bottom of the support block 2. Slotted holes 4 are opened on both the left and right sides of the rectangular tube 3. The angle between the slotted holes 4 and the horizontal plane is 60°, and the front and rear slotted holes 4 are inverted V-shapes. A first cylinder 5 is attached to the inner wall of the slotted holes 4. A rubber sleeve 6 is adhered to the surface of the first cylinder 5. The surface of the rubber sleeve 6 is attached to the surface of the heddle rod 1. Limiting rings 7 are attached to both the left and right sides of the rectangular tube 3. The inner wall of the limiting ring 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first cylinder 5. A pressing mechanism 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rectangular tube 3. The bottom of the pressing mechanism 8 is attached to the upper surface of the rubber sleeve 6.

[0024] Preferably, the pressing mechanism 8 includes a hollow plate 81, a nut 82, an adjusting bolt 83, and a pressing plate 84. The upper surface of the hollow plate 81 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rectangular tube 3, the inner wall of the hollow plate 81 is fixedly connected to the surface of the nut 82, the inner wall of the nut 82 is threadedly connected to the surface of the adjusting bolt 83, the bottom of the adjusting bolt 83 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressing plate 84, and the bottom of the pressing plate 84 is in contact with the bottom of the rubber sleeve 6.

[0025] By fitting the round holes at both ends of the heddle wire onto the two heddle rods 1, the heddle rods 1 fix and position the heddle wire. After the heddle rods 1 are inserted into the rectangular tube 3, they are supported by the support block 2.

[0026] The first cylinder 5 is guided by the slotted hole 4, and the first cylinder 5 is prevented from separating from the slotted hole 4 by the limiting ring 7. When the user rotates the adjusting bolt 83, the pressing plate 84 can move up or down by the cooperation of the adjusting bolt 83 and the nut 82. When the pressing plate 84 presses the rubber sleeve 6, the front and rear rubber sleeves 6 clamp the heddle rod 1 by the cooperation of the inclined slotted hole 4 and the first cylinder 5. At this time, the friction between the rubber sleeve 6 and the heddle rod 1 can fix the bottom end of the heddle rod 1 in the rectangular tube 3. The friction between the rubber sleeve 6 and the pressing plate 84 prevents the rubber sleeve 6 from rotating when clamping the heddle rod 1. After the pressing plate 84 separates from the rubber sleeve 6, the front and rear rubber sleeves 6 release the heddle rod 1 and allow the heddle rod 1 to move freely left and right. At this time, the distance between the left and right heddle rods 1 can be adjusted according to the heddle wire model.

[0027] A hollow column 9 is attached to the surface of the threading rod 1. A rectangular ring 10 is fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the hollow column 9. A second cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the rectangular ring 10. A rotating rod 12 is attached to the surface of the second cylinder 11 and both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the rectangular ring 10. A rubber pad 13 is glued to the side of the rotating rod 12. The left and right sides of the threading rod 1 are attached to the side of the rubber pad 13. U-shaped spring pieces 14 are fixedly connected to the side of the rotating rod 12 and both the left and right sides of the hollow column 9.

[0028] Among them, the elastic force of the U-shaped spring 14 is greater than the sum of the weights of the rotating rod 12 and the rubber pad 13.

[0029] The rotating rod 12 can rotate around the second cylinder 11. When the hollow column 9 is fitted onto the heddle rod 1, the elastic force of the U-shaped spring 14 makes the rubber pad 13 come into close contact with the heddle rod 1. Through the friction between the rubber pad 13 and the heddle rod 1, the hollow column 9 can be fixed on the heddle rod 1. At this time, the hollow column 9 can limit the heddle wires on the heddle rod 1 and prevent the heddle wires from coming off the heddle rod 1 when the storage device is tilted.

[0030] Both the front and rear sides of the rectangular tube 3 are fixedly connected to screws 15, and threaded cylinders 16 are threadedly connected to the surface of the screws 15. When the operator contacts and aligns the two screws 15 on the storage device, and screws the threaded cylinders 16 onto the two adjacent screws 15, the two adjacent screws 15 can be fixed together, and the two storage devices can be fixed together.

[0031] The present invention first moves the pressing plate 84 upward by rotating the adjusting bolt 83, which, in conjunction with the adjusting bolt 83 and the nut 82, separates the pressing plate 84 from the rubber sleeve 6. Then, the bottom end of the threading rod 1 is inserted into the rectangular tube 3, and both the front and rear rubber sleeves 6 are in contact with the threading rod 1. Next, by rotating the adjusting bolt 83, the pressing plate 84 moves downward in conjunction with the adjusting bolt 83 and the nut 82. When the pressing plate 84 presses the rubber sleeve 6, the adjustment bolt 83 is stopped from being rotated. At this time, the cooperation between the first cylinder 5 and the strip hole 4 causes the front and rear rubber sleeves 6 to clamp the threading rod 1. Then, through the friction between the rubber sleeve 6 and the threading rod 1, the bottom end of the threading rod 1 can be fixed inside the rectangular tube 3. And through the friction between the rubber sleeve 6 and the pressing plate 84, the rubber sleeve 6 cannot rotate when clamping the threading rod 1.

[0032] When it is necessary to store heddles, the round holes at both ends of the heddles are respectively fitted onto the two threading rods 1, so that the threading rods 1 can fix and position the heddles. After a suitable number of heddles are threaded onto the threading rods 1, the rotating rod 12 is pinched to rotate the rubber pad 13 by a certain angle. Then, the hollow column 9 is fitted onto the threading rods 1. After the hollow column 9 moves to the appropriate position, the rotating rod 12 is released. At this time, the elasticity of the U-shaped spring 14 makes the rubber pad 13 and the threading rod 1 come into close contact. Through the friction between the rubber pad 13 and the threading rod 1, the hollow column 9 can be fixed on the threading rod 1. Then, the hollow column 9 can limit the heddles on the threading rod 1 and prevent the heddles from falling off the threading rod 1 when the storage device is tilted.

[0033] When it is necessary to remove the heddle wire, first pinch the rotating rod 12 to separate the rubber pad 13 from the heddle rod 1, and then remove the hollow column 9 from the heddle rod 1. After the hollow column 9 is separated from the heddle rod 1, the heddle wire on the heddle rod 1 can be removed.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this invention are implemented according to conventional methods in the art unless otherwise specified or limited.
