Specific embodiments

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] The present utility model provides a weft yarn missing weft compensation device for a water jet loom as Figures 1-3 shown, which includes a fixing plate 1 and guiding wheels 2 installed on the front outer wall of the fixing plate 1 and respectively close to the left and right sides;

[0025] A weft yarn body 3 is arranged between the upper circular outer walls of the two guiding wheels 2;

[0026] A high-speed camera 12 is arranged on the front outer wall of the fixing plate 1 to view the breaking condition of the weft yarn body 3;

[0027] A spare weft yarn 8 is arranged on the left side of the high-speed camera 12. A movable rod 6 is arranged on the upper side of the spare weft yarn 8. A wire clamp 7 is fixedly connected to the left end outer wall of the movable rod 6 to clamp the spare weft yarn 8. A driver 5 is fixedly connected to the rear end outer wall of the movable rod 6 to drive the movable rod 6 to rotate. When a yarn break occurs while the guiding wheel 2 drives the weft yarn body 3 to continuously move, the high-speed camera 12 will capture the corresponding yarn break picture among multiple weft yarn bodies 3 and send out a signal to enable the driver 5 at the corresponding position to start working, driving the movable rod 6 to rotate clockwise. During the rotation of the movable rod 6, it will drive the wire clamp 7 clamping the spare weft yarn 8 to move synchronously. After the wire clamp 7 approaches the guiding wheel 2, the spare weft yarn 8 will be released. At this time, the spare weft yarn 8 can be adsorbed on the guiding wheel 2, and the guiding wheel 2 drives the spare weft yarn 8 to be guided to the next process. When the weft yarn body 3 is manually continued, the movable rod 6 is reset, and the wire clamp 7 clamps the spare weft yarn 8 again;

[0028] A drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall at the rear end of the fixed plate 1. The drive motor 15 is connected to an external power supply. A drive shaft 14 that penetrates forward into the inner roller 16 is fixedly connected to the front end outer wall of the drive motor 15 to drive the inner roller 16 and the outer roller 17 to rotate. When the weft yarn body 3 breaks, the broken part of the weft yarn body 3 moves along the inner part of the limiting groove 18 due to fitting, and after breaking, it will be wound by the rotating outer roller 17, preventing the broken weft yarn body 3 from floating and draping over the surrounding weft yarn bodies 3.

[0029] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, an inner roller 16 is fixedly connected inside the outer roller 17 to provide a winding position for the broken weft yarn body 3. A drive shaft 14 that penetrates forward into the inner roller 16 is fixedly connected to the front end outer wall of the drive motor 15 to drive the inner roller 16 and the outer roller 17 to rotate.

[0030] The broken weft yarn body 3 will wind around the outer wall of the inner roller 16 and limit the position of the broken weft yarn body 3. When the outer roller 17 rotates, the drive shaft 14 is driven by the drive motor 15 to rotate, thereby driving the inner roller 16 and the outer roller 17 to rotate to wind the broken weft yarn body 3.

[0031] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, cutting slots 19 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the limiting groove 18 to allow scissors to enter and cut the weft yarn body 3 wound around the inner roller 16. A fixed seat 20 is provided at the other end of the drive shaft 14 to keep the inner roller 16 and the outer roller 17 flush with the guide wheel 2. An electrostatic coating is applied to the outer wall of the inner roller 16 to adsorb the weft yarn body 3, and the rotational speed of the drive motor 15 is less than that of the guide wheel 2.

[0032] When the staff performs a yarn continuation operation at the yarn break position, the scissors can be inserted through the cutting slot 19 to cut the weft yarn body 3 wound on the inner roller 16 for the yarn continuation operation, and at the same time, the wound weft yarn body 3 is cleaned. When the yarn breaks, the broken end of the weft yarn body 3 on the side contacting the inner roller 16 is adsorbed on the inner roller 16 by the electrostatic coating for winding operation.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, a fixed box 9 is provided on the left side of the high-speed camera 12. A take-up reel 10 for taking up the spare weft yarn 8 is provided inside the fixed box 9. A signal receiver 11 is fixedly connected to the right end outer wall of the fixed box 9 to control the operation of the driver 5. An image processor 13 is fixedly connected to the front end outer wall of the high-speed camera 12 to detect the state of the weft yarn body 3 and send a signal to the signal receiver 11 after detecting a yarn break.

[0034] The position of the winding spare weft yarn 8 is restricted and provided by the winding shaft 10 inside the fixed box 9. After the high-speed camera 12 captures the broken yarn image and processes it through the image processor 13, the data is transmitted to the signal receiver 11, so that the signal receiver 11 emits a signal to make the driver 5 drive the movable rod 6 to perform the weft yarn continuation work.

[0035] As Figure 1 shown, a fixed frame 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper end of the fixed box 9 to restrict the position of the movable rod 6. A through hole penetrating up and down is opened on the outer wall of the upper end of the fixed box 9 for the spare weft yarn 8 to pass through. When the spare weft yarn 8 adheres to the guide wheel 2, it is guided by the guide wheel 2 in an electrostatic adsorption manner. The guide wheel 2 provides power to drive the spare weft yarn 8 to move to the right.

[0036] The position of the movable rod 6 is restricted by the fixed frame 4, and the rotation center of the movable rod 6 is provided. When the spare weft yarn 8 is guided, it passes through the through hole opened on the fixed box 9. When the spare weft yarn 8 adheres to the guide wheel 2, it is electrostatically adsorbed on the guide wheel 2 for the guide wheel 2 to guide the spare weft yarn 8 to move to the next process.

[0037] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the weft yarn body 3 breaks during the continuous movement driven by the guide wheel 2, the high-speed camera 12 will capture the corresponding broken yarn image among multiple weft yarn bodies 3 and emit a signal to turn on the corresponding driver 5 to drive the movable rod 6 to rotate clockwise. During the rotation of the movable rod 6, the wire clamp 7 clamping the spare weft yarn 8 will move synchronously. After the wire clamp 7 approaches the guide wheel 2, the spare weft yarn 8 will be released. At this time, the spare weft yarn 8 can be adsorbed on the guide wheel 2 and is guided by the guide wheel 2 to the next process. When the weft yarn body 3 is manually continued, the movable rod 6 is reset and the wire clamp 7 clamps the spare weft yarn 8 again. When the weft yarn body 3 breaks, the broken weft yarn body 3 moves along the inner side of the limiting groove 18 and will be wound by the rotating outer roller 17 after breaking, avoiding the situation where the broken weft yarn body 3 drifts and hangs on the surrounding weft yarn bodies 3.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
