Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rapier heads, in particular to a rapier head for weft insertion in a rapier loom. Background Art

[0002] The rapier loom is a new type of loom that matured earlier, has a simple structure and is widely adaptable in the weaving production of the textile industry, and the rapier head is one of the key components of the rapier loom. During operation, the rapier head will shuttle on the rapier loom at high speed, which is prone to wear. To address this problem, some existing rapier looms have made improvements to the rapier head. For example, Chinese patent CN214992157U discloses a rapier head for weft insertion of a rapier loom. This rapier head converts the sliding friction of the original rapier head into rolling friction by arranging ball seats and balls on the sides of the protective block and the side strips. This not only reduces the friction of the rapier head, but also effectively avoids direct contact between the sides of the protective block and the side strips and the rapier loom, thereby reducing the loss of the protective block and the side strips. However, when this rapier head is in use, the ball wears out at a faster rate because the ball is in point contact with the rapier loom during movement, the contact area between the two is small, the ball is subjected to greater force, and the friction loss of the ball is greater. Therefore, a rapier head for weft insertion of a rapier loom was invented. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] The utility model provides a rapier head for weft insertion in a rapier loom. Figures 1-4 , including a rapier head housing 10, one end of the rapier head housing 10 is provided with a side plate 20, and the end of the rapier head housing 10 away from the side plate 20 is provided with a protective plate 30, and a plurality of grooves 40 are provided on the side plate 20 and the protective plate 30, and each group of grooves 40 is provided with a rolling mechanism for line contact with the rapier loom.

[0038] The rolling mechanism includes: a rolling assembly for contacting the rapier loom, and a connecting assembly;

[0039] The rolling assembly is disposed in the groove 40 , and the rolling assembly is detachably connected to the groove 40 via a connecting assembly.

[0040] The connecting assembly includes: a slider 31, a rotating shaft 35, a positioning rod 39, and a guide assembly for guiding the position of the slider 31;

[0041] Both ends of the groove 40 are slidably connected to the slider 31, and both sides of the slider 31 are in contact with the inner surface of the groove 40. Each group of sliders 31 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 35 through a bearing. The outer ring of the bearing is fixed in the slider 31, and the inner ring of the bearing fixes the rotating shaft 35. The opposite ends of the two groups of rotating shafts 35 are fixedly installed with positioning rods 39. The shape of the positioning rods 39 is set to be square, and a rolling assembly is provided between the two groups of positioning rods 39.

[0042] The guide assembly includes: a through hole 32, a guide rod 33, and a spring 34;

[0043] Through holes 32 are provided at both ends of the slider 31, and two sets of guide rods 33 are fixedly installed on the opposite end side walls of the groove 40, and the guide rods 33 are slidably connected in the through holes 32. The diameter of the guide rods 33 is the same as the diameter of the through holes 32 to prevent the guide rods 33 from shaking. The spring 34 is sleeved on the guide rods 33, and one end of the spring 34 is fixedly installed on the slider 31, and the end of the spring 34 away from the slider 31 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the groove 40. The spring 34 has the function of deforming. When the spring 34 is deformed, it has the function of squeezing the roller 36.

[0044] The rolling assembly includes: a roller 36, a rotating rod 37, a positioning groove 38, and a wear-resistant layer 371;

[0045] The roller 36 is located in the inner cavity of the groove 40, and one side of the roller 36 extends to the outside of the groove 40. The roller 36 extending to the outside of the groove 40 has the ability to contact the rapier loom. Rotating rods 37 are fixedly installed at both ends of the roller 36. The rotating rods 37 are in contact with the rotating shaft 35. Positioning grooves 38 are provided at the opposite ends of the two sets of rotating rods 37. The shape and size of the positioning grooves 38 match the shape and size of the positioning rods 39, and a positioning rod 39 is provided on one side of the positioning groove 38. The positioning rod 39 is inserted into the positioning groove 38 with an interference fit. The outer surface of the roller 36 is provided with a wear-resistant layer 371. By setting the wear-resistant layer 371, the service life of the roller 36 can be extended. The wear-resistant layer 371 is formed by coating the outer surface of the roller 36 with a wear-resistant coating. The wear-resistant coating is a new type of functional coating with special functions and has good wear resistance. The wear-resistant coating is preferably a polyurea coating.

[0046] Working principle: When the rapier head is used, the structure on the side plate 20 and the protective plate 30 on the side of the rapier head that is in direct contact with the rapier loom is the roller 36. The contact area between the roller 36 and the rapier loom is much larger than the contact area between the ball and the rapier loom, and the stress is smaller, which reduces the friction loss of the roller 36 and extends the service life of the roller 36. After the rapier head has been used for a period of time, part of the roller 36 may be severely worn. At this time, the two sets of sliders 31 are moved back to back in the groove 40 until the positioning groove 3 8 is separated from the positioning rod 39. At this time, the corresponding roller 36 can be taken out. Then, the two sets of sliders 31 are moved back to back. At this time, the spring 34 will be deformed. After the two sets of positioning rods 39 are at a suitable distance, the new roller 36 is placed between the two sets of positioning rods 39, and the positioning groove 38 and the positioning rod 39 are aligned. At this time, the external force is removed, so that the positioning rod 39 is inserted into the positioning groove 38 under the action of the spring 34, so as to fix the roller 36 in the groove 40, and complete the replacement of the roller 36.

[0047] While the present invention has been described above with reference to specific embodiments, various modifications may be made and equivalent components may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as no structural conflicts exist, the various features of the embodiments disclosed herein may be combined with one another in any manner, and the omission of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is solely for the sake of space and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but encompasses all technical solutions within the scope of the claims.
