TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to textile equipment technical field, especially in a kind of yarn gripper for air-jet loom. BACKGROUND
[0002] In modern textile industry, air-jet loom is widely used due to its efficiency and high quality. Air-jet loom is a shuttleless loom that uses air jet to draw the weft yarn through the shed. The working principle of air-jet loom is to use air as the weft-drawing medium to generate frictional traction on the weft yarn by jetting compressed air, thereby drawing the weft yarn through the shed. The yarn gripper of air-jet loom intermittently holds the fabric during the weft-drawing process, mainly providing tension, preventing twist or shrinkage, thereby ensuring smooth weaving and the quality of finished fabric. The yarn gripper is required to release the weft yarn during weft-drawing and quickly recover the holding state after weft-drawing, and this process is repeated.
[0003] Currently, most yarn grippers for air-jet loom on the market use fixed or semi-automatic adjustment methods to control yarn tension, which are manually adjusted or preset parameters to adapt to different working requirements. Although this design can meet the basic needs, it is not flexible enough when facing rapidly changing working environments, resulting in insufficient control of yarn tension, which can easily cause yarn breakage or uneven yarn, seriously affecting the efficiency and quality of weaving.
