Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rapier looms, in particular to a rapier cleaning and cooling device for a rapier loom. Background Art
[0002] A rapier loom uses a rapier wheel to drive a rapier belt to reciprocate to transport the weft yarn. A large amount of heat is generated during the reciprocating movement of the rapier wheel and the rapier belt. Another reason for the heat generation is that dust, fibers, etc. will adhere to the rapier belt, increasing the friction between the rapier belt and the rapier wheel. Especially, the rapier loom often runs continuously for a long time. The increase in the temperature of the rapier belt will affect the stability of the rapier belt operation, the stability of the weft yarn transportation, and the product quality. At present, many cooling methods for the rapier belt adopt forms such as water cooling, which contacts the rapier belt to transfer the heat on the rapier belt and then dissipates the heat. This form will increase the friction on the rapier belt, with poor cooling effect and easy to increase the wear of the rapier belt. Summary of the Utility Model

[0011] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present utility model to achieve the predetermined utility model purpose, the following will, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, describe in detail the specific embodiments, structures, features and effects of the present utility model as follows.
[0012] Embodiment 1:
[0013] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the present utility model discloses a rapier belt cleaning and cooling device for a rapier loom, which includes a rapier loom frame and a rapier wheel 3 and a rapier belt 4 arranged on the rapier loom frame. A cooling box 1 is arranged on the rapier loom frame. The rapier wheel 3 is located inside the cooling box 1. The main shaft 2 of the rapier wheel 3 passes through the side wall of the cooling box 1 and extends to the outside of the cooling box 1. Two openings 5 are arranged on one of the side walls of the cooling box 1. The rapier belt 4 passes through the openings 5. The device further includes a blower 10. The air outlet of the blower 10 is connected to the cooling box 1 through a pipeline 9. An air storage box 6 is arranged on the side wall of the cooling box 1 at the opening 5. The inside of the air storage box 6 is hollow. A plurality of air nozzles 7 are arranged on the air storage box 6. The air nozzles 7 face the rapier belt 4 at the opening 5. The air storage box 6 is connected to the air outlet of the blower 10 through the pipeline 9.
[0014] The cooling box 1 is hollow. Part of the rapier wheel 3 and the rapier belt 4 are located inside the cooling box 1. Both ends of the rapier belt 4 extend out of the cooling box 1 through the two openings 5. During the working process, the rapier wheel 3 drives the rapier belt 4 to reciprocate. The blower 10 is used to pressurize air and send it to the cooling box 1 through the pipeline 9, so that the air inside the cooling box 1 flows. The air can be output from the opening 5. During the air flow process, the heat on the rapier belt 4 and the rapier wheel 3 is carried away to cool it, so as to ensure the stable operation of the rapier belt 4 and the rapier wheel 3. During the continuous cooling process, the temperature of the rapier belt 4 can be kept stable. Even if the rapier loom runs continuously, the temperature of the rapier belt 4 can also be kept stable.
[0015] At the same time, by using the design of the air storage box 6 and the air nozzle 7 on the side wall of the cooling box 1, the fan 10 transports air to the air storage box 6, and sprays it on the sword belt 4 through the air nozzle 7, so as to clean the surface of the sword belt 4 and cool it at the same time. Since the simple structure has a hollow structure, and the dust on the sword belt 4 is mainly concentrated in the hollow structure, the air sprayed by the air nozzle 7 is used to clean the sword belt 4, which has a good effect and can also reduce the influence of dust and increase the friction between the sword belt 4 and the sword wheel 3, so the heat generation is small, so the cooling effect of the sword belt 4 can also be improved.
[0016] The air storage boxes 6 are respectively arranged on the side walls of the cooling box 1 between the two openings 5. An air nozzle 7 is arranged on the upper surface of the upper air storage box 6, and the air nozzle 7 faces the sword belt 4 above it. An air nozzle 7 is arranged on the lower surface of the lower air storage box 6, and the air nozzle 7 faces the sword belt 4 below it.
[0017] Since the openings 5 are arranged up and down, the gas storage boxes 6 are respectively arranged between the openings 5, and the gas storage boxes 6 are arranged at the corresponding openings 5, close to the openings 5. The air nozzle 7 on the upper gas storage box 6 is upwardly directed toward the sword belt 4, and the dust on the sword belt 4 is blown upward and dispersed in the air, while the air nozzle 7 of the lower gas storage box 6 is downwardly directed toward the sword belt 4, and the dust on the sword belt 4 is blown downward and dispersed in the air, so that the blown air is not easy to fall on the sword belt 4 again, the cleaning effect is good, and the cooling effect is improved.
[0018] It also includes a refrigeration box 8, in which a refrigeration mechanism is arranged inside the refrigeration box 8, and the air inlet of the fan 10 is connected to the refrigeration box 8 through a pipe 9, and the refrigeration box 8 is connected to the cooling box 1 through the pipe 9. Since the overall temperature in the rapier machine workshop is relatively high, especially in summer, the air flow temperature blown out by the fan 10 will be high, affecting the overall cooling effect on the sword belt 4. Therefore, a refrigeration box 8 is used, and a refrigeration mechanism is arranged inside to cool the air in the refrigeration box 8, so that the air flow temperature output by the fan 10 is lower, and the cooling effect on the sword belt 4 is better. At the same time, the air flow in the cooling box 1 flows back to the refrigeration box 8, so the damage of the cold air can be reduced and the energy consumption can be reduced. The refrigeration mechanism is an existing structure, which is not limited, and the specific structure is not repeated. The refrigeration mechanism can use compressor refrigeration, or use heat sinks and cooling media to cool the air.
