Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of weaving equipment, specifically relating to a circular loom. Background Technology

[0002] A circular loom is an industrial device used to weave tubular fabric. The tubular fabric is woven by the cross-weft of warp and weft threads. The warp threads are threaded through the thread holes of the heddles. The reciprocating motion of the heddles drives the heddles and the warp threads threaded through the heddles to move up and down. The weft threads pass through the reciprocating warp threads to weave the tubular fabric.

[0003] Currently, circular looms have a structure where the shuttle wheel track is fixed on the lower gate ring. When the circular loom is working, a large amount of dust falling through the warp threads passing through the top grid of the lower gate ring will fall directly onto the lower gate ring and the shuttle wheel track below. Because there is a densely distributed grid around the outer periphery of the top of the lower gate ring, it is difficult for the dust to be discharged from the circular loom. As the working time of the circular loom increases, the dust will accumulate on the shuttle wheel track, hindering the rolling of the shuttle wheel on the shuttle wheel track and affecting the stable operation of the circular loom. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a circular loom to solve the problem of dust accumulation on the shuttle wheel track affecting the rotation of the shuttle wheel.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: A circular loom includes a frame, a main shaft, a lower gate ring, a chassis, a heald belt assembly, and a drive mechanism. The chassis and the lower gate ring are fixed to the frame. The main shaft is axially positioned on the chassis. The heald belt assembly is installed on the frame and located on the outer periphery of the chassis. The circular loom also includes a cover plate with a shuttle pusher track at the top and a support member installed at the bottom of the cover plate. The cover plate is fixed to the top of the chassis by the support member. The drive mechanism is located between the cover plate and the chassis and drives the heald belt assembly to reciprocate up and down under the drive of the main shaft. The lower gate ring is located above the cover plate, and an air outlet gap is formed between the lower gate ring and the cover plate, surrounding the shuttle pusher track. This technical solution has the following technical effects:

[0006] This invention places a cover plate between the lower gate ring and the chassis, and fixes the cover plate to the chassis with a support member. This creates a space between the cover plate and the chassis to accommodate the drive mechanism of the heald assembly. Because the warp threads pass through the grille above the lower gate ring, the warp threads entering the circular loom are located above the cover plate. This allows the cover plate to protect the drive mechanism below from dust during production. Dust falling from the warp threads is blocked by the cover plate and will not fall directly vertically onto the drive mechanism, affecting its operation. Furthermore, the cover plate is supported by a support member. The components are fixed to the chassis, allowing the cover plate and lower door ring to be set separately. The cover plate and lower door ring are at different heights, which creates an air outlet gap between them. The air outlet gap surrounds the outer perimeter of the shuttle wheel track. Users can use a fan or other devices to blow air onto the top of the cover plate, allowing the dust accumulated on the cover plate to be discharged from the circular loom through the air outlet gap. This ensures the cleanliness of the top of the cover plate and prevents dust from accumulating on the shuttle wheel track, which could affect the stable rolling of the shuttle wheel on the track. This allows the circular loom to maintain stable operation for a long time and ensures the production efficiency of the circular loom.

[0007] In the aforementioned circular loom, the support components include an outer support plate surrounding the main shaft, and a linear drive mechanism mounted on the outer support plate. The outer support plate surrounding the main shaft not only provides stable support for the cover plate but also offers numerous mounting positions for the linear drive mechanism, allowing it to be directly fixed to the outer support plate, reducing the assembly difficulty of the circular loom. Simultaneously, the cavity formed by the outer support plate, cover plate, and chassis enhances the dustproof effect on the main shaft and other structures connected to it, preventing the main shaft from being affected by excessive dust and ensuring stable operation of the circular loom's main shaft.

[0008] In the aforementioned circular loom, the outer support plate comprises multiple flat outer uprights, which are spliced ​​together to form the outer support plate. Linear drive mechanisms are installed one-to-one on each of these outer uprights. By configuring the heavier outer support plate as a structure formed by splicing multiple lighter outer uprights, during installation, workers can install the lighter outer uprights one by one onto the chassis, reducing the assembly difficulty between the outer support plate and the chassis. If any linear drive mechanism malfunctions or is damaged, its corresponding outer upright can be removed from the chassis and cover plate, allowing for the removal of the linear drive mechanism along with the outer upright, facilitating inspection and replacement and reducing maintenance difficulty.

[0009] In the aforementioned circular loom, the bottom of the outer panel is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the base plate is provided with a positioning groove, into which the positioning protrusion is inserted. The positioning protrusion can cooperate with the positioning groove to position the outer panel for installation, enabling the linear drive mechanism mounted on the outer panel to quickly align with the heald assembly, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0010] In the aforementioned circular loom, the support component further includes an inner support plate arranged around the main shaft. The inner support plate is located within the outer support plate and has support holes. The input shaft of the linear drive mechanism passes through the support holes. Because the input shaft is relatively long, the support holes on the inner support plate provide radial support for the input shaft, preventing the end of the input shaft away from the heald assembly from sagging or bending, and ensuring stable transmission of the input shaft.

[0011] In the aforementioned circular loom, the inner support plate comprises multiple flat inner vertical plates, which are spliced ​​together to form the inner support plate. Support holes are correspondingly provided on each inner vertical plate. By configuring the heavier inner support plate as a structure formed by splicing multiple lighter inner vertical plates, during installation, workers can install the lighter inner vertical plates one by one onto the chassis, reducing the assembly difficulty between the inner support plate and the chassis. Users can also replace the inner vertical plates that mate with any input shaft individually, reducing maintenance costs.

[0012] In the aforementioned circular loom, the bottom of the inner support plate is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the chassis is provided with a limiting groove, into which the limiting protrusion is inserted. The limiting protrusion can cooperate with the limiting groove to position the inner vertical plate, allowing the inner vertical plate and the outer vertical plate to be quickly aligned, facilitating the subsequent assembly of the input shaft and the inner vertical plate.

[0013] In the aforementioned circular loom, an inner vertical plate is provided with a flange. The flange passes through a support hole and is locked to the inner vertical plate. A support bearing is embedded in the flange, and the input shaft of the linear drive mechanism passes through the support bearing. By passing the input shaft of the linear drive mechanism through the support bearing, mutual wear between the input shaft and the inner vertical plate can be prevented when the input shaft rotates. The flange passing through the support hole can extend the axial length of the support hole in the inner vertical plate, so as to stably install the support bearing on the relatively thin inner vertical plate.

[0014] In the aforementioned circular loom, the linear drive mechanism includes a housing mounted on the outer wall of an outer support plate and an input shaft passing through the outer support plate. The housing has a mounting groove facing the outer support plate, and a limiting bearing for the input shaft is installed within the mounting groove. The outer support plate abuts against the outer ring of the limiting bearing to axially limit the limiting bearing. The input shaft of the linear drive mechanism extends into the housing through the limiting bearing, and the outer support plate abuts against the end face of the outer ring of the limiting bearing to axially limit the limiting bearing. This eliminates the need for other limiting structures, ensuring the limiting bearing remains within the mounting groove of the housing to provide stable support for the input shaft.

[0015] In the aforementioned circular loom, the upper and lower ends of the support member are locked to the cover plate and the base plate respectively by locking screws. This ensures locking strength, facilitates installation and disassembly, and allows the support member to provide stable support for the cover plate.

[0016] The features and advantages of this utility model will be disclosed in detail in the following specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0033] This utility model discloses a circular loom, including a frame, a main shaft, a lower gate ring, a chassis, a heald belt assembly, and a drive mechanism. The chassis and the lower gate ring are fixed on the frame, the main shaft is axially positioned on the chassis, the heald belt assembly is installed on the frame and located on the outer periphery of the chassis, the circular loom also includes a cover plate with a shuttle pusher track on the top and a support member installed at the bottom of the cover plate, the cover plate is fixed to the top of the chassis by the support member, the drive mechanism is located between the cover plate and the chassis, and drives the heald belt assembly to move up and down reciprocally under the drive of the main shaft, the lower gate ring is located above the cover plate, and an air outlet gap is formed between the lower gate ring and the cover plate around the shuttle pusher track. This invention places a cover plate between the lower gate ring and the chassis, and fixes the cover plate to the chassis with a support member. This creates a space between the cover plate and the chassis to accommodate the drive mechanism of the heald assembly. Because the warp threads pass through the grille above the lower gate ring, the warp threads entering the circular loom are located above the cover plate. This allows the cover plate to protect the drive mechanism below from dust during production. Dust falling from the warp threads is blocked by the cover plate and will not fall directly vertically onto the drive mechanism, affecting its operation. Furthermore, the cover plate is supported by a support member. The components are fixed to the chassis, allowing the cover plate and lower door ring to be set separately. The cover plate and lower door ring are at different heights, which creates an air outlet gap between them. The air outlet gap surrounds the outer perimeter of the shuttle wheel track. Users can use a fan or other devices to blow air onto the top of the cover plate, allowing the dust accumulated on the cover plate to be discharged from the circular loom through the air outlet gap. This ensures the cleanliness of the top of the cover plate and prevents dust from accumulating on the shuttle wheel track, which could affect the stable rolling of the shuttle wheel on the track. This allows the circular loom to maintain stable operation for a long time and ensures the production efficiency of the circular loom.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] A circular loom, such as Figures 1 to 7As shown, the system includes a frame 110, a main shaft 120, a lower door ring 130, a chassis 200, a helical belt assembly 140, a drive mechanism, a cover plate 500, and a support member 600. The chassis 200, the lower door ring 130, and the helical belt assembly 140 are all mounted on the frame 110. The chassis 200 and the lower door ring 130 are coaxially arranged and fixed to the frame 110 respectively. The lower door ring 130 is located above the chassis 200. The main shaft 120 passes through the chassis 200 and is coaxially arranged with the chassis 200. Multiple helical belt assemblies 140 are provided, and the multiple helical belt assemblies 140 are located on the outer periphery of the chassis 200 and arranged around the main shaft 120. A cover plate 500 is disposed between the lower door ring 130 and the chassis 200. The top of the cover plate 500 is provided with a shuttle wheel track 520 for the shuttle wheel to roll. The upper end of the support member 600 is connected to the cover plate 500, and the lower end of the support member 600 is connected to the chassis 200, so that the cover plate 500 is fixed to the top of the chassis 200 by the support member 600. An air outlet gap 510 is formed between the lower door ring 130 and the cover plate 500, and the air outlet gap 510 is arranged around the shuttle wheel track 520. The drive mechanism is located between the cover plate 500 and the chassis 200. The drive mechanism is connected to the main shaft 120 and the heald belt assembly 140. The heald belt assembly 140 includes a heald belt and heald wires. The warp threads pass through the heald wires and the grid above the lower gate ring 130 in sequence so that the warp threads are above the cover plate 500. The main shaft 120 drives the heald belt to move up and down reciprocally through the drive mechanism, thereby causing the warp threads passing through the heald wires to move up and down reciprocally with the heald wires. The weft threads pass through the warp threads that move up and down to weave the tubular fabric.

[0041] This invention, by placing a cover plate 500 between the lower door ring 130 and the chassis 200 and fixing the cover plate 500 to the chassis 200 via a support member 600, creates a space between the cover plate 500 and the chassis 200 to accommodate the drive mechanism of the drive heald assembly 140. Since the warp threads pass through the grid above the lower door ring 130, the warp threads entering the circular loom are located above the cover plate 500. This allows the cover plate 500 to provide dust protection for the drive mechanism below during production. Dust falling from the warp threads is blocked by the cover plate 500 and will not fall directly vertically onto the drive mechanism, affecting its operation. Furthermore, the cover plate 500 is supported by a support member 600. The component is fixed on the chassis 200, allowing the cover plate 500 and the lower door ring 130 to be set separately. The cover plate 500 and the lower door ring 130 have different heights, which allows an air outlet gap 510 to be formed between them. The air outlet gap 510 surrounds the outer periphery of the shuttle wheel track 520. Users can use a fan or other device to blow the top of the cover plate 500, so that the dust accumulated on the cover plate 500 can be discharged from the circular loom through the air outlet gap 510, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the top of the cover plate 500 and preventing the dust accumulated on the shuttle wheel track 520 from being difficult to discharge, which would affect the stable rolling of the shuttle wheel on the shuttle wheel track 520. This allows the circular loom to maintain stable operation for a long time and ensure the production efficiency of the circular loom.

[0042] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism is a linear drive mechanism 400. The linear drive mechanism 400 has a housing 410 and an input shaft 420 and an output rod 430 passing through the housing 410. The input shaft 420 is used to connect to the main shaft 120, and the output rod 430 is used to connect to the helical belt assembly 140. The linear drive mechanism 400 is used to convert rotational motion into linear motion, that is, rotation is input to the linear drive mechanism 400 through the input shaft 420, and then converted into linear reciprocating motion of the helical belt assembly 140 through the output rod. The support member 600 includes an outer support plate 610, which is annular and surrounds the main shaft 120. The linear drive mechanism 400 is mounted on the outer support plate 610. The outer support plate 610 surrounding the main shaft 120 not only provides stable support for the cover plate 500, but also provides a large number of mounting positions for the linear drive mechanism 400, allowing the linear drive mechanism 400 to be directly fixed on the outer support plate 610, reducing the assembly difficulty of the circular loom. At the same time, the cavity formed by the outer support plate 610, the cover plate 500, and the chassis 200 can improve the dustproof effect of the main shaft 120 and other structures connected to the main shaft 120 within the cavity, preventing the main shaft 120 from being affected by a large amount of dust and ensuring the stable operation of the circular loom main shaft 120.

[0043] The outer support plate 610 can be a one-piece structure or a separate structure. In this embodiment, it is preferred that... Figure 3As shown, the outer support plate 610 includes multiple identical outer upright plates 611. The outer upright plates 611 are flat, and multiple outer upright plates 611 are spliced ​​together to form the outer support plate 610, which is arranged around the main shaft 120. A linear drive mechanism 400 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each outer upright plate 611, with one linear drive mechanism 400 mounted on each outer upright plate 611. By configuring the heavier outer support plate 610 as a structure formed by splicing multiple lighter outer upright plates 611, during installation, workers can install the lighter outer upright plates 611 one by one onto the chassis 200, reducing the assembly difficulty between the outer support plate 610 and the chassis 200. If any linear drive mechanism 400 malfunctions or is damaged, its corresponding outer upright plate 611 can be removed from the chassis 200 and the cover plate 500, allowing the linear drive mechanism 400 to be removed as well, facilitating inspection and replacement and reducing maintenance difficulty.

[0044] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, a positioning protrusion 6111 is provided at the bottom of the outer panel 611, and a positioning groove 210 is provided on the chassis 200, as... Figure 4 As shown, when the positioning protrusion 6111 is inserted into the positioning groove 210, the outer plate 611 stands on the top of the chassis 200. The positioning protrusion 6111 can cooperate with the positioning groove 210 to install and position the outer plate 611, so that the linear drive mechanism 400 installed on the outer plate 611 and the helical belt assembly 140 can be quickly aligned, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0045] The support member 600 in this embodiment also includes an inner support plate 620. The inner support plate 620 is annular and surrounds the main shaft 120. The inner support plate 620 is located inside the outer support plate 610. The inner support plate 620 is provided with a support hole 6211. The input shaft 420 of the linear drive mechanism 400 passes through the support hole 6211. Because the input shaft 420 is relatively long, the support hole 6211 is provided on the inner support plate 620 to provide radial support for the input shaft 420 passing through it, preventing the end of the input shaft 420 away from the helical belt assembly 140 from drooping or bending, and ensuring that the input shaft 420 can perform stable transmission.

[0046] The inner support plate 620 can be an integral structure or a split structure. Preferably, the inner support plate 620 includes multiple inner upright plates 621 of the same shape. The inner upright plates 621 are flat and are spliced ​​together to form the inner support plate 620, which is arranged around the main shaft 120. Support holes 6211 are provided one-to-one on each inner upright plate 621. By setting the heavier inner support plate 620 into a structure formed by splicing multiple lighter inner upright plates 621, the operator can install the lighter inner upright plates 621 one by one on the chassis 200 during installation, reducing the assembly difficulty between the inner support plate 620 and the chassis 200. Users can also replace the inner upright plates 621 that cooperate with any input shaft 420, reducing maintenance costs.

[0047] Preferably, a limiting protrusion 6212 is provided at the bottom of the inner upright plate 621, and a limiting groove 220 is provided on the chassis 200. When the limiting protrusion 6212 is inserted into the limiting groove 220, the inner upright plate 621 stands on the top of the chassis 200. The limiting protrusion 6212 can cooperate with the limiting groove 220 to position the inner upright plate 621, so that the inner upright plate 621 and the outer upright plate 611 can be quickly aligned for subsequent assembly of the input shaft 420 and the inner upright plate 621. The tops of the inner upright plate 621 and the outer upright plate 611 are locked to the cover plate 500 by locking screws 300, and the bottoms of the inner upright plate 621 and the outer upright plate 611 are also locked to the chassis 200 by locking screws 300, ensuring locking strength and facilitating installation and disassembly while providing stable support for the cover plate 500. Of course, it is understood that in other embodiments, the support may also consist only of the outer support plate 610.

[0048] To prevent wear between the input shaft 420 and the inner vertical plate 621 during rotation, this embodiment provides a support bearing 710 on the inner vertical plate 621. The input shaft 420 of the linear drive mechanism 400 passes through the support bearing 710. Preferably, as follows... Figure 7 As shown, a flange 700 is also provided on the inner vertical plate 621. The flange 700 partially passes through the support portion and is locked to the inner vertical plate 621 with screws to fix the flange 700 to the inner vertical plate 621. The support bearing 710 is embedded in the flange 700. The flange 700 passing through the support hole 6211 can extend the axial length of the support hole 6211 of the inner vertical plate 621 so as to stably install the support bearing 710 on the thinner inner vertical plate 621.

[0049] like Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 410 of the linear drive mechanism 400 is locked to the outer plate 611 with screws. The housing 410 is fixed to the outer side wall of the outer plate 611 away from the main shaft 120. The input shaft 420 of the linear drive mechanism 400 extends through the outer plate 611 toward the inner plate 621 and passes through the support hole 6211 of the outer plate 611. The housing 410 is provided with a mounting groove 411 with an opening facing the outer plate 611. The 11 is equipped with a limiting bearing 412. The input shaft 420 of the linear drive mechanism 400 passes through the limiting bearing 412 and extends into the housing 410. The outer plate 611 abuts against the outer ring end face of the limiting bearing 412 to axially limit the limiting bearing 412. No other limiting structure is required to limit the limiting bearing 412, ensuring that the limiting bearing 412 is always in the mounting groove 411 of the housing 410 to provide stable support for the input shaft 420.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
