DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The embodiment of the present utility model: Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, a rapier loom with high stability includes a driving mechanism and a frame 1. On the frame 1, there are a weft insertion mechanism and a beating-up mechanism 2. The weft insertion mechanism and the beating-up mechanism 27 are mechanically driven and operated by the driving mechanism. The driving mechanism includes a crankshaft mechanism driven by a motor. There is a connecting rod 3 connected between the crankshaft mechanism and the beating-up mechanism 27. It includes a bearing 4. The crankshaft mechanism includes a U-shaped crankshaft 5. The U-shaped crankshaft 5 includes a cross bar and side parts located on both sides of the cross bar. The connecting rod 3 includes a connecting rod body 6 and a connecting rod cap 7. After the connecting rod body 6 and the connecting cover 7 are connected, a clamping groove for accommodating the bearing 4 is formed. During installation, the bearing 4 is sleeved on the cross bar of the crankshaft 5. After the large end of the connecting rod 3 is connected by the connecting rod body 6 and the connecting rod cap 7, the bearing 4 is buckled inside. The other end of the connecting rod 3 is connected to the beating-up mechanism. An annular oil groove 9 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the outer ring 8 of the bearing 4. An oil passage 10 is provided on the outer ring 8. The oil passage 10 connects the annular oil groove 9 of the outer ring 8 with the inner side of the outer ring 8. There is an oil filling port 11 on the connecting rod 3 that is connected to the annular oil groove 9. The bearing 4 is used instead of a copper sleeve, and lubricating oil is filled through the oil filling port 11. The lubricating oil first enters the annular oil groove 9 and then enters the inner side of the outer ring 8 through the oil passage 10 to lubricate the rolling elements, which conveniently realizes the lubrication of the bearing 4, helps to reduce friction, and improves the running stability.

[0020] As a preference, a dust-proof ring 12 is installed on the connecting rod 3. The dust-proof ring 12 is clamped in the clamping groove and is located on both sides of the bearing 4. The dust-proof ring 12 plays a blocking role, preventing external debris from entering, maintaining the cleanliness of the lubricating oil, preventing the volatilization and extrusion of the lubricating oil, and prolonging the service life of the lubricating oil.

[0021] As a preference, a cage 13 is installed inside the bearing 4. The cage 13 is equipped with rolling elements 14. The cage 13 maintains the stable operation and distribution of the rolling elements 14, improves the rolling conditions of the bearing 4 and its load-bearing capacity, and enhances the running stability.

[0022] As a preference, if the crankshaft is a split structure, that is, the cross bar and the side parts are not integrally cast, but are connected and fixed later. The bearing 4 can be integrally sleeved on the cross bar, and then the cross bar and the side parts are fixed. However, to ensure the strength and precision of the crankshaft 5, the crankshaft 5 in this application is integrally cast. Due to the obstruction of the side parts, the integral bearing cannot be installed on the cross bar. Therefore, the outer ring 8, the cage 13, and the dust-proof ring 12 of the bearing 4 are all composed of two half-bodies spliced together. There is an annular clamping groove for installing the cage 13 on the inner circumference of the outer ring 8 of the bearing 4. During installation, the cage 13 of the bearing 4 and the outer ring 8 are sleeved on the cross bar of the crankshaft after being spliced by two half-bodies. The cage 13 is limited in the annular clamping groove of the outer ring 8. The dust-proof ring 12 is also placed on both sides of the bearing 4 after being spliced by two half-bodies. Then the connecting rod body 6 and the connecting rod cap 7 are connected to limit the bearing 4 and the dust-proof rings 12 on both sides in the clamping groove to complete the installation.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, it includes a sleeve 15 and a hoop 16. The sleeve 15 is rolled from a high-strength metal sheet, rolled on the cross bar and fastened by the hoop 16. The bearing 4 is then spliced with the outer ring 8 through two halves through the retaining frame 13 and then sleeved on the sleeve 15 to roll with it. The sleeve 15 is fastened and fixed by the hoop 16 so that the sleeve 15 is firmly connected to the crankshaft 5 and will not move on the crankshaft 5, thereby improving stability. The rolling element 14 of the bearing 4 contacts the sleeve 15 but not the cross bar of the crankshaft, so that the crankshaft will not wear and play a role in protecting the crankshaft. The hoop 16 is a pair, located on both sides of the connection between the connecting rod 3 and the crankshaft 5. On the basis of fixing the sleeve, it prevents the connecting rod 3 from moving axially along the crankshaft, thereby improving the stability of the transmission.
