Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rapier loom technology, specifically a protective structure for the frame of a rapier loom. Background Technology

[0002] A rapier loom is a loom that uses a rapier shuttle, also known as a rapier weft inserter, to guide the weft yarn into the shed. It features high weft insertion speed, strong adaptability to various fabric types, and the ability to weave wide-width fabrics, while also exhibiting relatively low machine noise. However, workers frequently walking around rapier looms may collide with them; therefore, protective plates are typically installed on the frame of existing rapier looms to prevent this.

[0003] In the existing technology, conventional protective structures for rapier loom frames are mostly used in combination. The protective structures are difficult to meet the protection needs of rapier loom frames of various specifications, resulting in low practicality. Furthermore, they only rely on a single protective plate for impact protection, which is not effective and has a limited protection area. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a protective structure for the frame of a rapier loom to solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a protective structure for the frame of a shuttle loom, comprising a base, on which frames are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the base, and an organism is disposed between the left and right frames. Vertical plates are installed on the front and rear sides of the base through mounting mechanisms, and a first monitoring mechanism is disposed between the facing sides of the left and right vertical plates on the same front and rear sides. Mounting pipes are fixedly installed on the sides of the vertical plates away from the machine body through buffer mechanisms, and a guardrail mechanism is fixedly installed between the front and rear mounting pipes. A second monitoring mechanism is disposed on the guardrail mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, the base has an opening-shaped structure and is made of rectangular steel.

The spring damping shock absorber is fixedly connected to the mounting tube.

[0010] Furthermore, the guardrail mechanism includes a first sleeve, a locking bolt, and a second sleeve. The first sleeve is fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the front and rear mounting pipes, and the second sleeve is installed between the front and rear first sleeves by the locking bolt.

[0011] Furthermore, the second monitoring mechanism includes a mounting plate, a long-range sensor, and a controller. The mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the first sleeve, and the long-range sensor is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting plate away from the machine body. The controller is mounted on the front side of the vertical plate and is electrically connected to the long-range sensor.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a protective structure for the frame of a rapier loom, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The protective structure for the frame of this loom, through the combination of the installation mechanism and the guardrail mechanism, facilitates the installation and fixation of the guardrail mechanism, enabling the protective structure to meet the protection needs of various specifications of loom frames.

[0014] 2. The protective structure of this loom frame is enhanced by a buffer mechanism to increase the shock absorption function of the guardrail mechanism.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses a protective structure for the frame of a shuttle loom, including a base 1. Frames 2 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1 on both the left and right sides, and an organism 3 is arranged between the left and right frames 2. Vertical plates 5 are installed on the front and rear sides of the base 1 through mounting mechanisms 4. A first monitoring mechanism 6 is arranged between the facing sides of the left and right vertical plates 5 on the same front and rear sides. Mounting pipes 8 are fixedly installed on the sides of the vertical plates 5 away from the organism 3 through buffer mechanisms 7, and a guardrail mechanism 9 is fixedly installed between the front and rear mounting pipes 8. A second monitoring mechanism 10 is arranged on the guardrail mechanism 9.

[0022] Specifically, the base 1 has an opening-shaped structure and is made of rectangular steel.

[0023] In this embodiment, the base 1 facilitates the installation of the frame 2, and the base 1 is placed more stably and securely.

[0024] Specifically, the installation mechanism 4 includes a rectangular rod 401 and a limiting plate 402. The rectangular rod 401 is fixedly installed on the side of the vertical plate 5 near the base 1 and inserted into the base 1. The limiting plate 402 is fixedly installed on the side of the vertical plate 5 near the base 1 and fits against the side of the base 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the rectangular rod 401 is inserted into the base 1 to achieve the effect of installing the vertical plate 5. At the same time, the limiting plate 402 further increases the limiting and fixing of the vertical plate 5, making the installation of the vertical plate 5 more secure and stable.

[0026] Specifically, the first monitoring device 6 includes a light curtain generator 601, a light curtain receiver 602, and an alarm 603. The light curtain generator 601 is installed on the right side of the left vertical plate 5, the light curtain receiver 602 is installed on the left side of the right vertical plate 5, and the alarm 603 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the vertical plate 5.

[0027] In this implementation scheme, the light curtain generator 601 works in conjunction with the light curtain receiver 602. When an object causes obstruction, the information is fed back and an alarm is triggered through the alarm 603, thereby increasing the protection function.

[0028] Specifically, the buffer mechanism 7 includes a mounting groove 701 and a spring damping shock absorber 702. The mounting groove 701 is evenly provided on the left side of the vertical plate 5. The spring damping shock absorber 702 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 701 and is fixedly connected to the mounting tube 8.

[0029] In this embodiment, the mounting slot 701 is used to install the spring damping shock absorber 702, which adds the buffering and shock absorption function to the guardrail mechanism 9.

[0030] Specifically, the guardrail mechanism 9 includes a first sleeve 901, a locking bolt 902, and a second sleeve 903. The first sleeve 901 is fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the front and rear mounting pipes 8, and the second sleeve 903 is installed between the front and rear first sleeves 901 by the locking bolt 902.

[0031] In this embodiment, the locking bolt 902 is loosened, allowing the first sleeve 901 and the second sleeve 903 to move back and forth, thereby adjusting the front and rear length of the guardrail mechanism 9 and enabling it to meet the installation and fixing requirements of various specifications of base 1.

[0032] Specifically, the second monitoring mechanism 10 includes a mounting plate 101, a long-range sensor 102, and a controller 103. The mounting plate 101 is fixedly mounted on the first sleeve 901. The long-range sensor 102 is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting plate 101 away from the body 3. The controller 103 is mounted on the front side of the vertical plate 5 and is electrically connected to the long-range sensor 102.

[0033] In this embodiment, the long-range sensor 102 monitors the side of the guardrail mechanism 9 away from the body 3. When an object is detected approaching, the sensor feeds the information back to the controller 103. The controller 103 then activates the alarm 603. The controller 103 is electrically connected to the light curtain generator 601, the light curtain receiver 602, and the alarm 603.

[0034] In use, the four corner vertical plates 5 are inserted into the base 1 via the rectangular rods 401 in the mounting mechanism 4, and the limiting plate 402 is attached to the base 1 to fix the vertical plates 5. At this time, the locking bolts 902 in the guardrail mechanism 9 are in a loose state, allowing the first sleeve 901 and the second sleeve 903 to move back and forth, thereby adjusting the front and rear length of the guardrail mechanism 9 to accommodate the installation and fixing of various specifications of the base 1. After the vertical plates 5 are fixed, the front and rear first sleeves 901 are locked and fixed to the second sleeves 903 via the front and rear locking bolts 902. Then, the spring damping shock absorber 702 is installed through the mounting groove 701 in the buffer mechanism 7. The spring damping shock absorber 702 increases the buffering and shock absorption function of the guardrail mechanism 9. Finally, the first monitoring machine... In structure 6, the light curtain generator 601 and light curtain receiver 602 work together. When an object causes obstruction, the information is fed back to the controller 103, which then triggers the alarm 603. This adds a protective structure to the front and rear sides of the loom frame 2, monitoring whether any object is approaching the front and rear sides of the frame 2. The long-distance sensor 102 in the left and right second monitoring mechanisms 10 monitors the side of the guardrail mechanism 9 away from the machine body 3. When an object is detected approaching, the information is fed back to the controller 103, which then triggers the alarm 603. This monitors whether any object is approaching the left and right guardrail mechanisms 9, adding a reminder function, reducing the occurrence of collisions, making the protection more comprehensive and effective, less prone to collisions, and safer to use.

[0035] In summary, this protective structure for the frame of a loom can meet the protection needs of various specifications of loom frames 2. In addition, the addition of a first monitoring mechanism 6 and a second monitoring mechanism 10 to the guardrail mechanism 9 makes the protection more comprehensive, the effect better, less likely to cause collisions, and safer to use.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
