Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of textiles, in particular to a spandex tension compensation device. Background Art
[0002] Spandex, short for polyurethane fiber, is widely used in fabric weaving, for example, in the weaving of the ground mesh (i.e., bottom mesh) structure of warp knitted products. Spandex yarn has excellent elasticity. To achieve maximum spandex retraction, it is usually necessary to reduce the amount of spandex fed. However, it is well known that spandex is a relatively poor fiber in terms of strength. During the looping process of a warp knitting machine, when the needle bed swings significantly, it is easy to cause excessive pulling force on the spandex. This can easily lead to excessive stretching of the spandex during the weaving process, resulting in yarn breakage and affecting normal weaving. Therefore, the present invention proposes a spandex tension compensation device. Utility Model Content

[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] The present invention provides a spandex tension compensation device, comprising a warp let-off motor 1, a guide rod transmission motor 2, an actively rotating guide rod 3, a steering guide rod 4, and a tension compensation swing rod 5. The guide rod transmission motor 2 is connected to the actively rotating guide rod 3 to drive the actively rotating guide rod 3 to rotate. The actively rotating guide rod 3 is disposed between the warp let-off motor 1 and the steering guide rod 4. The steering guide rod 4 is disposed between the actively rotating guide rod 3 and the tension compensation swing rod 5. The warp let-off motor 1, the guide rod transmission motor 2, the actively rotating guide rod 3, the steering guide rod 4, and the tension compensation swing rod 5 of the present invention are all prior art.
[0017] Specifically, the guide rod drive motor 2 is connected to the actively rotating guide rod 3 through gears and a transmission belt to drive the actively rotating guide rod 3 to rotate.
[0018] Specifically, the spandex tension compensation device of the present invention may further include a control box connected to the guide rod drive motor 2. The control box can control the speed of the guide rod drive motor 2. The control box may be provided with a data port for connection to a computer. By inputting a preset transmission ratio via an external computer, the speed of the guide rod drive motor 2 can be controlled to achieve control and regulation of the speed of the actively rotating guide rod 3. Of course, other motor control devices in the prior art may also be used, and this is not excessively limited here.
[0019] The present invention may also include a yarn splitting comb 6, and the tension compensation rocker 5 is arranged between the steering guide rod 4 and the yarn splitting comb 6. The spandex yarn of the tension compensation rocker 5 is transmitted to the needle bed of the warp knitting machine for weaving through the yarn splitting comb 6. The yarn splitting comb 6 is an existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0020] Specifically, the warp let-off motor 1 is connected to a bobbin wound with spandex yarn. The spandex yarn is then transferred to an actively rotating guide rod 3 via the warp let-off motor 1. Furthermore, the spandex yarn is transferred to a tension-compensating rocker 5 via a steering guide rod 4. It will be appreciated that the tension-compensating rocker 5 can swing up and down, specifically by means of a spring to reset the tension-compensating rocker 5. The tension-compensating rocker 5 of the present invention utilizes a conventional rocker device and is not subject to further limitations herein.
[0021] It can be understood that by controlling the speed of the guide rod drive motor 2 to control and adjust the speed of the actively rotating guide rod 3, the friction on the surface of the actively rotating guide rod 3 is used to overfeed the spandex yarn, which effectively eliminates the additional stretching of the spandex yarn due to the friction of the turning guide rod 4, and reserves a larger spandex stretchability for the warp knitting machine loop forming parts. That is, by adjusting the speed of the actively rotating guide rod 3, the actively rotating guide rod 3 can actively reduce the stretching rate of the spandex yarn in each stroke to a minimum, thereby reducing the pulling force on the spandex yarn during the swinging of the needle bed.
[0022] In addition, during the looping process, as the needle bed continues to move, the pulling force on the warp yarn (spandex) will increase. When the needle bed moves downward to the lowest point, the force on the warp yarn reaches its peak. The spandex yarn fineness is only 30D, which is very thin and prone to yarn breakage. Therefore, the present invention adds a tension compensation rocker 5, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the needle bed swings to the highest point, the tension compensation rocker 5 also reaches the highest point (as shown in FIG. Figure 2 Position 11), at this time, the spandex yarn maintains a certain tension stored in the yarn path; when the needle bed swings down to the loop-removing position, that is, the needle bed swings to the lowest point, the pulling force on the spandex yarn is large, and the tension compensation rocker 5 is in a position where the tension is compensated as the needle bed swings downward. Figure 2At position 22, the tension compensating rocker 5 releases as much spandex yarn as possible, reducing the pulling force on the spandex yarn from the needle bed and effectively solving the problem of spandex yarn breakage. In this way, the spandex tension compensating device of the present invention can knit normally while ensuring that the spandex yarn feed amount is minimized, so that the spandex loops formed can fully retract.
