Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of loom technology, specifically to a rapier loom pedal structure that is easy to store. Background Technology

[0002] Rapier looms are the most widely used shuttleless looms. In addition to the characteristics of high speed, high automation and high efficiency of shuttleless looms, their active weft insertion method has strong adaptability to various types of yarns. Furthermore, rapier looms have obvious advantages in multi-color weft weaving, and can produce yarn-dyed products with multi-color weft yarns.

[0003] Existing rapier looms are generally equipped with a footplate for installing warp threads. When disassembling or assembling the warp beam, the footplate needs to be moved manually, which requires additional floor space. Furthermore, moving the footplate and returning it to its original position is quite troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, this invention provides a rapier loom pedal structure that is easy to store, facilitating the storage of the pedal.

[0005] This utility model discloses a rapier loom pedal structure that is easy to store, including a rapier loom frame, a warp beam installed on the rear side of the rapier loom frame, swing arms rotatably mounted on the rapier loom frame at both ends of the warp beam, insertion holes provided on the rapier loom frame, insertion rods provided in the insertion holes, when the swing arms are horizontally rearward, the lower side of the swing arms presses against the insertion rods, a rotatable support arm is horizontally mounted at the rear end of the swing arms, a forward limiting structure is provided on the lower side of the support arm near the swing arm, the limiting structure presses against the lower side of the swing arm, and a pedal is horizontally mounted on the rear side of the warp beam, with both ends of the pedal fixedly connected to the support arms on both sides respectively.

[0006] The principle of the above technical solution is that the limiting action of the plug rod prevents the swing arm from swinging downward, and the limiting action of the limiting structure prevents the support arm from swinging downward. At this time, the worker can step on the pedal to install the warp. When the warp beam needs to be disassembled, the plug rod is pulled out. At this time, the swing arm swings downward. Since the limiting structure is set on the lower side of the support arm, the upward rotation of the support arm is not restricted. Therefore, when the swing arm swings downward, the support arm can also rotate accordingly so that the pedal can be stored.

[0007] Preferably, the limiting structure is a limiting plate, which is horizontally set on the lower side of the support arm and presses against the lower side of the swing arm to limit the downward swing of the support arm.

[0008] To ensure the pedal fits snugly against the ground when stored, both ends of the pedal are fixed to the lower side of the support arm. When the swing arm swings downwards to a vertical position, the lower end of the swing arm is close to the ground, at which point the support arm is nearly horizontal, and the pedal fits snugly against the ground.

[0009] To increase the strength and anti-slip properties of the pedal, several reinforcing ribs are provided on the upper surface of the pedal along its length.

[0010] Preferably, the thickness of the reinforcing rib is 0.5 cm, which increases the strength of the pedal without making it too thick.

[0011] The present invention provides a rapier loom pedal structure that is easy to store. Its advantages are that when not in use, the pedal can be quickly stored by pulling out the plug, reducing the extra floor space it occupies, and the storage is simple and efficient. Attached Figure Description

[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of Embodiment 1 of the present utility model;

[0013] Figure 2 This is a left view of the pedal in embodiment 1 of this utility model when it is stored. Detailed Implementation

[0014] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0015] Example 1:

[0016] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a rapier loom pedal structure that is easy to store, including a rapier loom frame 1, a warp beam 2 installed on the rear side of the rapier loom frame 1, and swing arms 3 rotatably mounted on the rapier loom frame 1 at both ends of the warp beam 2. When the swing arms 3 swing downward to vertically downward, the lower end of the swing arms 3 is close to the ground. The rapier loom frame 1 is provided with a socket 9, and a rod 4 is provided in the socket 9. When the swing arms 3 are horizontally backward, the lower side of the swing arms 3 presses against the rod 4. A rotatable support arm 6 is horizontally mounted on the rear end of the swing arms 3. A limiting plate 5 is horizontally mounted on the lower side of the support arm 6 near the end of the swing arms 3, and the limiting plate 5 presses against the lower side of the swing arms 3. A pedal 7 is horizontally mounted on the rear side of the warp beam 2. The two ends of the pedal 7 are fixedly connected to the lower sides of the two support arms 6 respectively. Several reinforcing ribs 8 along their length direction are provided on the upper surface of the pedal 7. The thickness of the reinforcing ribs 8 is 0.5 cm.

[0017] The principle of the above technical solution is that the limiting action of the plug rod 4 prevents the swing arm 3 from swinging downward, and the limiting action of the limiting plate 5 prevents the support arm 6 from swinging downward. At this time, the worker can step on the pedal 7 to install the warp. When the warp beam 2 needs to be disassembled, the plug rod 4 is pulled out. At this time, the swing arm 3 swings downward. Since the limiting plate 5 is set on the lower side of the support arm 6, the support arm 6 can rotate upward without restriction. Therefore, when the swing arm 3 swings downward, the support arm 6 can also rotate accordingly after hitting the ground so that the pedal 7 can be stored.
