Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of textile equipment technology, and more specifically to a yarn frame for a rapier loom used for processing fiber cloth. Background Technology
[0002] Rapier looms, as the most widely used type of shuttleless loom, occupy an important position in the textile industry due to their active weft insertion technology. Compared with traditional shuttle looms, this equipment has significant advantages such as high weft insertion speed, excellent automation, and outstanding production efficiency. It particularly demonstrates broad adaptability to various fiber materials, handling the weaving needs of various yarns including cotton, linen, silk, and synthetic fibers. Notably, its multi-color weft weaving system can support the production of yarn-dyed products with up to 16 weft colors, a feature that makes it irreplaceable in the field of high-end yarn-dyed fabrics.
[0003] In existing technologies, the selvage yarn trellis generally adopts a top-mounted installation structure, that is, it is fixedly set in the upper area of the rapier loom body. This traditional layout has exposed significant technical defects in practical applications: when changing yarn bobbins, the operator must be close to the main body of the loom, and the safe distance between the mechanical moving parts and the human body is insufficient, posing a potential risk of limb contact with the moving parts; secondly, because the height of the yarn trellis does not match the ergonomic design, the operator must maintain an unnatural posture of leaning forward at about 60 degrees for a long time to change yarn. This anti-ergonomic working posture not only significantly reduces work efficiency, but also leads to muscle strain in the lower back of the operator, increasing occupational health risks. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this application is to provide a yarn frame for a rapier loom for processing fiber cloth, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] According to one aspect of this application, a yarn frame for a rapier loom used for processing fiber cloth includes a machine body, a placement plate, yarn bobbins, a support frame, a drive component, a first fixed column, a support column, a second fixed column, and auxiliary support components. The support frame and the first fixed column are vertically fixed on both sides of the machine body, respectively. A placement plate is horizontally arranged above the machine body. One end of the placement plate is rotatably mounted to the top of the support frame, and the other end of the placement plate is drive-connected to the drive component, which is fixedly mounted on the support frame. The other end of the placement plate is detachably and fixedly connected to the top of the first fixed column. Multiple yarn bobbins are evenly and equidistantly installed on the upper surface of the placement plate along its length. The machine body is located on the support frame... A support column and a second fixed column are vertically fixed along one side. The top of the second fixed column can be detachably and fixedly connected to the other end of the placement plate. A horizontally arranged auxiliary support is detachably and fixedly connected between the first fixed column and the support column. The top surfaces of the auxiliary support, the first fixed column, the second fixed column, and the support column are all flush with the lower surface of the placement plate. The placement plate can be rotated along the top surface of the auxiliary support under the drive of the drive component to the position of the top surface of the second fixed column and the support column, so that the top surface of the support column supports the lower surface of the placement plate and the other end of the placement plate can be detachably and fixedly connected to the top of the second fixed column.
[0006] Preferably, the auxiliary support includes a support rod frame, a first insert rod, a second insert rod, and support rollers. A slot is formed on the side wall of the first fixed column, and an opening groove is formed on the side wall of the support column. The slot and the opening groove are oriented opposite to each other. The lower wall of the slot is flush with the lower wall of the opening groove, and the top of the opening groove extends through the top of the support column. The two ends of the support rod frame are respectively fixed with a first insert rod and a second insert rod. The first insert rod can be inserted into the slot, and the second insert rod can be placed into the opening groove from the top. Multiple support rollers are evenly and equidistantly mounted on the top of the support rod frame along its length, and the top of each support roller is flush with the lower surface of the placement plate.
[0007] Preferably, the opening length of the slot is greater than the thickness of the insertion rod.
[0008] Preferably, the driving component includes a drive motor, a driving gear, a driven gear, and a rotating shaft. A rotating shaft is vertically fixed at the bottom of one end of the placement plate. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the top of the support frame. A driven gear is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft. The driven gear meshes with the driving gear for transmission. The driving gear is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor. The drive motor is fixedly mounted on the support frame.
[0009] Preferably, electromagnet one and electromagnet two are fixedly mounted on the top of the first and second fixed posts, respectively, and a magnetic metal block is embedded at the bottom of the other end of the placement plate. The positions of electromagnet one and electromagnet two are both located on the rotation path of the magnetic metal block, and the lower surface of the magnetic metal block, the upper surface of electromagnet one, and the upper surface of electromagnet two are all flush with the lower surface of the placement plate.
[0010] Preferably, a support pad is fixedly provided on the top of the support column, the upper surface of the support pad is flush with the lower surface of the placement plate, and the upper end of the opening groove penetrates through the upper surface of the support pad.
[0011] The advantages of this application compared with the prior art are as follows: The yarn frame of the rapier loom used for processing fiber cloth, through the rotational arrangement of the placement plate on the yarn frame, the detachable arrangement of its movable end, and the arrangement of auxiliary support components, allows for the replacement of the yarn bobbins on the placement plate. One end of the support rod of the auxiliary support component is inserted into the slot on the fixed column, and the other end of the support rod is placed into the opening slot at the top of the support column. This results in the support rod and its support rollers being horizontally positioned between the fixed column and the support column. Then, the electromagnet at the top of the fixed column is de-energized and loses its magnetism, causing the magnetic metal block at the movable end of the placement plate to separate from the electromagnet. Finally, the drive motor in the drive unit rotates, driving the drive gear. The driven gear meshes and rotates, which in turn drives the placement plate to rotate around the axis of the shaft. This causes the lower surface of the placement plate to move along the support rollers on the support rod to the top of the fixed column and the support column. This allows the electromagnet at the top of the fixed column to engage with the magnetic metal block at the movable end of the placement plate, and the support pad at the top of the support column to abut against the lower surface of the placement plate. Then, the electromagnet is energized to generate magnetism, causing the placement plate to be attracted and fixed by the magnetic metal block and the electromagnet. The operator can then stand on one side of the machine to replace the yarn bobbins on the yarn rack placement plate, which is convenient for operation. The auxiliary support also provides good support for the placement plate, preventing the suspended part from bending due to gravity during rotation. Attached Figure Description

It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" used in the following description refer to the accompanying drawings. Figure 2 In this context, the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, a yarn frame for a rapier loom used for processing fiber cloth includes a machine body 1. Support frames 4 and fixing columns 5 are vertically fixed on both sides of the machine body 1. Support columns 6 and fixing columns 7 are vertically fixed along the longitudinal direction on one side of the machine body 1, located near the support frames 4. A placement plate 2 is horizontally arranged above the machine body 1. Multiple yarn bobbins 3 are evenly and equidistantly installed on the upper surface of the placement plate 2 along its length. A rotating shaft 12 is vertically fixed at the bottom of the rotating end of the placement plate 2. The rotating shaft 12 is rotatably mounted on the top of the support frame 4. A driven gear 11 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 12. The driven gear 11 meshes with a driving gear 10 for transmission. The driving gear 10 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of a drive motor 9. 9 is fixedly installed on the support frame 4, so that the drive motor 9 can rotate to drive the drive gear 10 and the driven gear 11 to mesh and rotate, and then drive the placement plate 2 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 12 through the rotation of the rotating shaft 12; a magnetic metal block 15 is embedded in the bottom of the movable end of the placement plate 2, and an electromagnet 13 and an electromagnet 24 are respectively fixed on the top of the fixed column 5 and the fixed column 7. The positions of the electromagnet 13 and the electromagnet 2 are both located on the rotation path of the magnetic metal block 15. The lower surface of the magnetic metal block 15, the upper surface of the electromagnet 13, and the upper surface of the electromagnet 2 are all flush with the lower surface of the placement plate 2. This design allows the magnetic metal block 15 at the bottom of the movable end of the placement plate 2 to rotate. Move the electromagnet to the position on the upper surface of electromagnet 13 or electromagnet 214 and attract and fix it thereto; in addition, a support pad 16 is fixedly provided on the top of the support column 6, and the upper surface of the support pad 16 is flush with the lower surface of the placement plate 2, so that the support pad 16 can support the lower surface of the placement plate 2 after rotation; a horizontally arranged auxiliary support 8 is detachably installed between the fixed column 15 and the support column 6. The auxiliary support 8 includes a support rod frame 81, a first insert rod 82, a second insert rod 83 and a support roller 84. A slot 51 is opened on the side wall of the rod body of the fixed column 15, and an opening slot 61 is opened on the side wall of the rod body of the support column 6. The slots 51 and the opening slot 61 are arranged in opposite directions. The lower wall of the slot 51 and the opening slot 61 are aligned. The lower groove wall is flush with the height of the groove, and the top of the opening groove 61 passes through the top of the support pad 16. The two ends of the support rod frame 81 are respectively fixed with a first insertion rod 82 and a second insertion rod 83. The first insertion rod 82 can be inserted into the slot 51, and the opening length of the slot 51 is greater than the thickness of the first insertion rod 82, so that the second insertion rod 83 can be placed into the opening groove 61 from the top. The top of the support rod frame 81 is evenly and equidistantly mounted with multiple support rollers 84 along its length direction. The top of each support roller 84 is flush with the lower surface of the placement plate 2, so as to provide good support for the placement plate 2 during rotation and prevent the suspended part from bending due to gravity during rotation.
[0022] Working principle: When it is necessary to replace the yarn bobbin 3 on the placement plate 2, insert the first rod 82 of one end of the support rod frame 81 of the auxiliary support member 8 into the slot 51 on the rod body of the fixed column 5, and place the second rod 83 of the other end of the support rod frame 81 into the opening slot 61 at the top of the support column 6, so that the support rod frame 81 and its support roller 84 are horizontally set between the fixed column 5 and the support column 6. Then, the electromagnet 13 at the top of the fixed column 5 is de-energized and loses its magnetism, so that the magnetic metal block 15 at the movable end of the placement plate 2 separates from the electromagnet 13. Then, the drive motor 9 is controlled to rotate, driving the drive gear 10 and the driven gear 11 to mesh and rotate, thereby driving the placement plate 2 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 12. The movement causes the lower surface of the placement plate 2 to move along the support rollers 84 on the support rod frame 81 to the top position of the fixed column 7 and the support column 6, so that the electromagnet 14 at the top of the fixed column 7 corresponds to and abuts against the magnetic metal block 15 at the movable end of the placement plate 2, and the support pad 16 at the top of the support column 6 abuts against and supports the lower surface of the placement plate 2. Then, the electromagnet 14 is energized to generate magnetism, so that the placement plate 2 is attracted and fixed by the magnetic metal block 15 and the electromagnet 14. Then, the operator can stand on one side of the machine body 1 to replace the yarn bobbin 3 on the yarn rack placement plate 2, which is convenient for operation. The setting of the auxiliary support 8 also facilitates the good support of the placement plate 2, preventing the suspended part from bending due to gravity during rotation.
