Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of weft tensioner technology, and specifically to a weft tensioner. Background Technology

[0002] A weft tensioner is a device used in textiles, screen printing and other fields to control the tension of weft threads. It can ensure that the weft threads maintain appropriate and stable tension during weaving or other processing, and prevent the weft threads from becoming too loose or too tight.

[0003] There is a weft tensioner in the prior art, which mainly consists of a connecting frame, a front guide post, a rear guide post, a tension roller, a wax column, an oil immersion box, etc. When the weft is pulled, it will drive the wax column to rotate. At the same time, the wax column generates resistance to the weft, which causes the weft to generate a certain tension, thereby adjusting the tension on the weft before the weft insertion begins and controlling the tension fluctuation of the weft during the weft insertion movement to be stable.

[0004] However, the stability of tensioners using friction is greatly affected by external factors. Wear of friction components can lead to unstable friction, which in turn causes fluctuations in weft tension. For example, after long-term use, the surface of the wax column wears down, and the coefficient of friction with the weft changes, which may cause the tension to fluctuate, affecting the uniformity of the fabric. Repairing and replacing the tensioner increases downtime and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0042] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0043] like Figures 1-4As shown, this embodiment proposes a weft tensioner, including a base plate 1, a tensioning mechanism, a quick-release mechanism, a locking component, and a reinforcing mechanism. The tensioning mechanism is mounted on the base plate 1, and the quick-release mechanism is also mounted on the base plate 1. The quick-release mechanism cooperates with the tensioning mechanism to replace the wax column 6. The quick-release mechanism includes a locking component, and the reinforcing mechanism is mounted on the base plate 1 to handle the wire harness. In this solution, the wire harness passes through the tensioning mechanism, which provides tension to the wire harness to prevent the weft from becoming loose or too tight. As the wax column 6 wears with use, the tension it provides will change. Therefore, the quick-release mechanism allows for quick replacement of the wax column 6, reducing downtime for replacement and minimizing the impact on production. At the same time, the reinforcing mechanism can also dry and oil the wire harness to prevent quality problems caused by factors such as a humid environment. Oiling can also enhance the toughness of the wire harness and reduce its breakage risk.

[0044] The tensioning mechanism includes a limiting plate 2, a clamping post 3, a guide post 4, a cooperating spring 5, and a wax column 6. There are two limiting plates 2, which are fixedly connected to the base plate 1. The clamping post 3 is fixedly connected to the top of one of the limiting plates 2. The guide post 4 is threadedly connected to the clamping post 3. The cooperating spring 5 is installed between the guide post 4 and the clamping post 3. The wax column 6 is slidably connected between the clamping post 3 and the guide post 4. The tensioning mechanism causes the wax column 6 to press against the wire harness inside the limiting plate 2 by rotating the guide post 4. The wire harness drives the wax column 6 to rotate, providing tension to the wire harness.

[0045] Secondly, the quick-release mechanism includes a magnetic post 7, a mating post 8, a magnetic post 9, and a locking assembly. Magnetic post 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide post 4. The mating post 8 is threadedly connected to the base plate 1. Magnetic post 9 is fixedly connected to the top end of the mating post 8. Magnetic post 9 and magnetic post 7 are magnetically attracted to each other. The locking assembly is installed on magnetic post 9. When disassembling and replacing the wax post 6, the mating post 8 is turned. At this time, the locking assembly locks the mating post 8 and the wax post 6, causing the mating post 8 to drive magnetic post 9 and the wax post 6 to separate from magnetic post 7. The locking assembly is opened, the wax post 6 is removed, a new wax post 6 is installed, the locking assembly is closed, and the mating post 8 is tightened to complete the replacement. The process is quick and convenient, and compared with the existing technology for removing the wax post 6, it greatly reduces the replacement time.

[0046] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes mounting slots, mating slots, and electric push rods 10. There are two mounting slots, which are respectively opened on the outer walls of the two sides of the magnetic post 9. There are two mating slots, which are both opened inside the wax post 6. There are two electric push rods 10, which are respectively fixedly connected to the two mounting slots. The output ends of the two electric push rods 10 respectively mate with the two mating slots. When the wax post 6 is pulled out, the electric push rod 10 extends and is locked in the mating slot, so the magnetic post 7 can pull out the wax post 6. After the wax post 6 is pulled out, the electric push rod 10 retracts, so the wax post 6 can be easily removed.

[0047] Finally, the strengthening mechanism includes an oil box 11, a wire passage hole 12, a through groove 13, bristles 14, and a heating ring 15. The oil box 11 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. The wire passage hole 12 is opened on the oil box 11. The through groove 13 is opened inside the wire passage hole 12. The bristles 14 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the oil box 11. The tip of the bristles 14 protrudes from the through groove 13. The heating ring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the wire passage hole 12. When the wire harness passes through the wire passage hole 12, the oil drawn by the bristles 14 from the oil box 11 is applied to the wire harness. At the same time, the heating ring 15 heats the air inside the wire passage hole 12 to dry it, thus drying the damp wire harness and strengthening it.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
