Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of weaving machine technology, and more specifically, to a quick-installation structure for the water tank of a water jet loom. Background Technology
[0002] Water jet looms are shuttleless looms that use jets of water to guide the weft yarn through the shed. Water jet weft insertion exerts a greater frictional pulling force on the weft yarn than air jet weft insertion, with less diffusion, making it suitable for weft insertion of smooth-surfaced synthetic fibers, glass fibers, and other filaments. It also increases the electrical conductivity of synthetic fibers, effectively overcoming static electricity during weaving. Furthermore, water jet weft insertion consumes less energy and produces the lowest noise levels.
[0003] Water jet textile machines require water to be sprayed through nozzles during the weaving process. The sprayed water propels the yarn, so a water tank is installed at the front of the nozzle. A water pump draws water into the tank for the nozzles to use. However, because the yarn is very fine, the water jet from the nozzle must also be very fine. This results in the nozzle orifice being designed to be very small. Furthermore, the water in the tank usually enters the nozzle directly without any filtration, easily leading to nozzle clogging and even damage. This not only reduces efficiency but also increases production costs.
[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a quick-installation structure for the water tank of a water jet loom to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A quick-installation structure for the water tank of a water jet loom includes a base and a water tank. The water tank is located on top of the base. An inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are respectively provided on both sides of the water tank. A cover plate is movably connected to the top of the water tank. Several evenly distributed filter plates are provided inside the water tank. Guide blocks for limiting the filter plates are provided on both sides of the water tank. An installation groove for the filter plates to pass through is formed between two adjacent sets of guide blocks. A locking groove for engaging with the filter plates is provided at the bottom of the water tank. A limiting mechanism for fixing the filter plates to the locking groove is provided.
[0008] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes an insert post located at the bottom of the filter plate, a limiting block extending outwardly connected inside the insert post, an insertion hole matching the insert post in the slot, and a limiting groove matching the limiting block on the inner side of the insertion hole.
[0009] Preferably, the insert has a hollow structure, the number of limiting blocks is four, and the insert has a slide for the limiting blocks to move.
[0010] Preferably, the center of the insert is provided with a turntable that is movably connected. The turntable is provided with four sets of arc-shaped rods that are connected to the limiting block. The arc-shaped rods are movably connected to the limiting block and the turntable respectively through pins.
[0011] Preferably, the turntable is movably connected to the insert via a rotating shaft, a matching torsion spring is fitted on the rotating shaft, and a knob is provided at the top of the rotating shaft extending to the top of the filter plate.
[0012] Preferably, the corners of the limiting block are chamfered, and the arc-shaped rod has a semi-circular structure.
[0013] Preferably, the cover is connected to the water tank by a snap-fit.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By cooperating with the filter plate and the limiting mechanism, when the filter plate needs to be replaced, the knob can be turned to drive the rotating shaft to rotate counterclockwise. The rotating shaft drives the turntable to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the turntable, the limiting block is driven to move in the same direction in the slide through the arc rod, so that the limiting block separates from the limiting groove and enters the insert. Then the filter plate is lifted up, and the filter plate can be disassembled. The disassembly and assembly process is very simple and quick, which can save time when the filter plate needs to be cleaned or replaced. Attached Figure Description

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a quick-installation structure for the water tank of a water jet loom is provided.
[0025] Example 1;
[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the quick-installation structure of the water tank of the water jet loom according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base 1 and a water tank 2. The water tank 2 is located on the top of the base 1. The water tank 2 has an inlet pipe 3 and an outlet pipe 4 on its two sides respectively. The top of the water tank 2 is provided with a cover plate 5 that is movably connected. The water tank 2 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed filter plates 6. The two sides of the water tank 2 are provided with guide blocks 7 for limiting the filter plates 6.

The bottom of the water tank 2 is provided with a slot 8 for engaging with the filter plates 6. The filter plates 6 are provided with a limiting mechanism for fixing with the slot 8.
[0027] Example 2;
[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the limiting mechanism includes an insertion post 9 located at the bottom of the filter plate 6. A limiting block 10 extending outward is movably connected inside the insertion post 9. An insertion hole 11 matching the insertion post 9 is provided in the slot 8. A limiting groove 12 matching the limiting block 10 is provided on the inner side of the insertion hole 11. The insertion post 9 has a hollow structure. There are four sets of limiting blocks 10. A slide 13 for the limiting block 10 to move is provided inside the insertion post 9.
[0029] Example 3;
[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a turntable 14 is movably connected in the middle of the insert post 9. The turntable 14 has four sets of arc-shaped rods 15 that are connected to the limiting block 10.

[0031] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.
[0032] In practical applications, when installing a new filter plate 6, the knob 17 can be turned to drive the rotating shaft 16 to rotate counterclockwise.

During the rotation, the turntable 14 drives the limiting block 10 to move in the same direction in the slide 13 through the arc rod 15, so that the limiting block 10 separates from the limiting groove 12 and enters the insertion post 9. Then the filter plate 6 can be lifted to complete the disassembly of the filter plate 6. The disassembly and assembly process is very simple and quick, which can save time when the filter plate 6 needs to be cleaned or replaced.
