Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile equipment, and more specifically to a shuttle for a circular loom. Background Technology
[0002] A circular loom is used to weave tube fabric. It has warp yarns running up and down around the circumference. The shuttle is a component that moves in a circular motion on the circular loom. It carries the weft yarn and moves in a circular motion so that the weft yarn crosses through the warp yarn and weaves the tube fabric.
[0003] Regarding the shuttle structure, as exemplified by the utility model patent with patent number 202321608468.X entitled "A Shuttle Structure for a Circular Loom," a shuttle wheel is positioned on the outer side of the shuttle body, supporting the shuttle in a circular motion at the gate ring. A tail wheel is positioned on the inner side of the shuttle body at the rear. The shuttle-pushing mechanism of the circular loom engages with the tail wheel, providing power to push the shuttle in a circular motion along the gate ring. However, during actual operation, the contact force between the shuttle-pushing mechanism and the tail wheel is located at the rear of the shuttle body. This concentrates the shuttle's center of gravity at the rear of the shuttle body, leading to instability in the support state of the shuttle and gate ring. This can cause the shuttle to vibrate during operation and accelerate the wear of the rear mating components, which is detrimental to the long-term use of the shuttle and affects the weaving quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a shuttle for a circular loom, which improves the stability of shuttle operation, ensures weaving quality, and extends the service life of the shuttle by optimizing the shuttle's driving position.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a shuttle for a circular loom, including a shuttle body, with shuttle wheels on the upper and lower sides of the shuttle body for supporting the outer door ring for circular motion, and a push wheel on the lower middle part of the shuttle body for cooperating with an external propulsion mechanism to push the shuttle body.
[0006] As an improvement, an elastic guide rod is provided extending rearward from the side of the push wheel. The elastic guide rod is used to press against the external push mechanism and limit the lower wire when the external push mechanism cooperates with the push wheel.
[0007] As an improvement, an inner guide rod and an outer guide rod are provided on the shuttle body on the inner and outer sides relative to the push wheel. The inner and outer guide rods are used to block the yarn.
[0008] As an improvement, the inner guide rods are set as two spaced rods on the upper side of the shuttle body, which are then used for the thread to be wound around the gap.
[0009] As an improvement, a pair of protective wheels are symmetrically arranged at the upper and lower positions of the middle of the outer side of the shuttle body. The protective wheels are arranged on the outer side of the outer door ring. The front of the shuttle body forms an angular support towards the protective wheels. The angular support is used to spread the outer threads.
[0010] As an improvement, the external propulsion mechanism includes a propulsion wheel located at the bottom of the shuttle body. When the propulsion wheel makes a circular motion, it abuts against the drive wheel from the rear to propel the shuttle body.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by placing the push wheel in the middle of the shuttle structure, the shuttle has good balance and uniform force when the push mechanism pushes the shuttle; the corresponding push mechanism is arranged below the shuttle, so it will not scratch the thread; the push of the shuttle is more stable and smooth and also reduces energy consumption; overall, it ensures the weaving quality and extends the service life of the shuttle.

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figure 1 , 2 Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6 show a specific embodiment of the shuttle for a circular loom according to this utility model. This embodiment includes a shuttle body 1, with shuttle wheels 2 on the upper and lower sides of the shuttle body 1 for supporting the outer door ring and performing circular motion, and a push wheel 3 on the lower center of the shuttle body 1 for cooperating with an external propulsion mechanism to push the shuttle body 1.
[0020] In use, the shuttle body 1 and shuttle wheel 2 adopt the existing structure as a whole, with the upper and lower shuttle wheels 2 supported on the inner sides of the upper and lower door rings; as an improvement, the push wheel 3, which cooperates with the external propulsion mechanism, is set in the middle position of the shuttle body 1 structure, such as... Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the propulsion shaft of the propulsion mechanism is arranged below the shuttle body 1, and a corresponding number of propulsion wheels 9 and push wheels 3 engage in abutment. When the propulsion mechanism is driven to rotate by the power mechanism, multiple shuttles perform circular motion on the gate ring. The force-bearing position of this push is in the middle of the shuttle body 1, which ensures good balance, uniform force distribution, stability of the weaving operation, guarantees the weaving quality, and also ensures uniform wear of components, extending the overall service life.
[0021] As an improved specific implementation, an elastic guide rod 4 is provided on the rearward side of the push wheel 3. The elastic guide rod 4 is used to press against the external push mechanism and limit the lower wire when the external push mechanism cooperates with the push wheel 3.
[0022] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 6, during actual operation of the equipment, the wire passing between the push wheel 3 and the push wheel 9 will be limited on the upper side by the elastic guide rod 4. The elastic guide rod 4 presses the wire against the push wheel 9, which can prevent the wire from slipping and loosening.
[0023] As an improved specific implementation, the shuttle body 1 is provided with an inner guide rod 5 and an outer guide rod 6 on the inner and outer sides relative to the push wheel 3, respectively. The inner guide rod 5 and the outer guide rod 6 are used to block the yarn.
[0024] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in specific implementation, the outer guide rod 6 is positioned close to the shuttle wheel 2, and the thread is wound around the outside of the outer guide rod 6, preventing it from tangling with the shuttle wheel 2. The inner guide rod 5 is positioned close to the thread guiding mechanism 11 on the shuttle body 1, and the thread is wound around the outside of the inner guide rod 5, preventing it from contacting the thread at the thread guiding mechanism 11 and causing tangling. Overall, this ensures stable thread routing relative to the shuttle, avoiding tangling.
[0025] As an improved specific implementation, the inner guide rod 5 is set as two spaced rods on the upper side of the shuttle body 1, which are then used for the thread to be wound around the gap.
[0026] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the upper thread can be bypassed by two spaced inner guide rods 5, which is more conducive to the orderly threading of the thread and avoids the thread from becoming loose and tangled on the shuttle.
[0027] As an improved specific implementation, a pair of protective wheels 7 are symmetrically arranged at the upper and lower positions of the middle outer side of the shuttle body 1. The protective wheels 7 are arranged on the outer side of the outer door ring. The front part of the shuttle body 1 forms an angled bracket 8 towards the protective wheels 7. The angled bracket 8 is used to spread the outer threads.
[0028] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, in specific implementation, after the shuttle body 1 is installed at the gate ring, the protective wheels 7 at the upper and lower positions are set on the outer sides of the gate ring on the upper and lower sides, which effectively restricts the relative position of the shuttle body 1 and the gate ring, making the operation more stable and preventing shuttle collisions and flying. The angular bracket 8 extending from the front of the shuttle body 1 to the protective wheel 7 forms a blocking structure on the outer side, which can block the thread and spread the thread, making it easier for the thread to run on the outer side.
[0029] As an improved specific implementation, the external propulsion mechanism includes a propulsion wheel 9, which is located at the lower part of the shuttle body 1. When the propulsion wheel 9 performs a circular motion, it abuts against the drive wheel 3 from the rear to propel the shuttle body 1.
[0030] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the propulsion mechanism is located below the shuttle, and the number of shuttles corresponds to the number of propulsion wheels 9, which are evenly arranged on the circumference. All propulsion wheels 9 are driven by the power mechanism to rotate synchronously, thereby driving all shuttles to perform circular motion.
[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are within its protection scope. 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 its protection scope.
