Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air-jet loom technology, and in particular to a guide roller replacement device for an air-jet loom. Background Technology

[0002] Air-jet looms are shuttleless looms that use jet airflow to pull the weft yarn through the shed. The working principle is to use air as the weft-introducing medium, and the compressed airflow generated by the jet will generate frictional traction force on the weft yarn to pull it through the shed. The jet generated by the airflow achieves the purpose of weft introduction.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219137062U discloses a guide roller replacement mechanism for an air-jet loom used in air-jet fabric production. The mechanism includes an air-jet loom, a guide roller body, and two fixing frames. Mounting housings are installed on both inner walls of the air-jet loom, and fixing mechanisms for fixing the guide roller body are provided on both inner walls. Each fixing mechanism includes a rotating cylinder rotatably connected to the inner wall of the air-jet loom. A double-ended screw is provided on the rotating cylinder, and two limiting blocks are provided on the side wall of the double-ended screw. This invention features a fixing mechanism that allows for the fixing and unfixing of the guide roller mounting shaft simply by rotating the two double-ended screws, thereby improving the guide roller replacement efficiency. Furthermore, the guide roller replacement mechanism is located on the outer wall of the air-jet loom, thus improving the rationality of the device design.

[0004] However, in actual use, when removing and installing the guide roller, both ends need to be disassembled or fixed in sequence. At this time, workers need to support the guide roller to prevent it from tilting and affecting the fixation, which is quite laborious. It is also inconvenient to position both ends of the guide roller during installation, so improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a guide roller replacement device for an air-jet loom, which eliminates the need for manual lifting of the guide roller when fixing bolts, thus making replacement more labor-saving and convenient.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a guide roller replacement device for an air-jet loom, comprising an air-jet loom body, a drive shaft provided on the inner wall of the air-jet loom body, a mounting shaft fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft, a first flange fixedly connected to one end of the mounting shaft, a second flange movably mounted on one end of the first flange, bolts threaded into the interior of the second flange, a positioning shaft fixedly connected to one side of the second flange, a guide roller provided at one end of the positioning shaft, a positioning bracket provided at the bottom of the guide roller, and a lifting arm fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning bracket.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding of the slider increases friction and improves stability.

[0018] A further feature of this invention is that a rubber layer is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning bracket, and anti-slip particles are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rubber layer.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber layer and anti-slip particles increase stability and anti-slip effect, and the guide rollers are more stable during the lifting process.

[0020] A further feature of this invention is that an anti-compression layer is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod, and a reinforcing layer is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the anti-compression layer.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solutions, the compression layer and reinforcement layer increase the support strength of the connecting rod, making it less prone to deformation and bending.

[0027] 1. This utility model, through the coordinated arrangement of the air-jet loom body, drive shaft, mounting shaft, first flange, second flange, bolts, positioning shaft, guide roller, positioning bracket, and lifting arm, enables the device to be used so that when the operator replaces the guide roller, the lifting arm rises, thereby driving the positioning bracket to rise. The positioning bracket corresponds to the positioning shaft, and its width corresponds to the positioning shaft. It is inserted into the gap between the second flange and the guide roller. After the positioning bracket supports the positioning shaft, the bolts are loosened and the first flange and second flange are separated. After the bolts at the other end are removed, the lifting arm descends and the guide roller is removed. The positioning shaft of the other guide roller is placed on the positioning bracket. The positioning bracket rises to a precise height, and after rising, the second flange and the first flange can be accurately aligned. When fixing the bolts, there is no need to manually lift the guide roller, making replacement more labor-saving and convenient.

When the buffer plate rises and falls, it drives the slider to move, increasing friction and improving stability. The rubber layer and anti-slip particles enhance stability and anti-slip effect, making the guide roller more stable during the lifting process. The anti-compression layer and reinforcing layer increase the support strength of the connecting rod, making it less prone to deformation and bending. The support shaft drives the inner ring of the bearing to rotate, and the support shaft supports the positioning shaft at the other end of the guide roller. The third flange has the same function as the first flange and is connected to the two second flanges respectively. Attached Figure Description
