Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to plastic weaving machinery, and in particular to a circular loom. Background Technology
[0002] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main body of a conventional circular loom generally includes a base 01, a frame 02, and a gate assembly 03. The frame 02 is vertically fixed to the base 01, and the gate assembly 03 is fixed to the top inner end of the frame 02. A top ring 04 is installed above the gate assembly, and the top ring 04 is fixedly connected to the gate assembly via a support rod 05. Since a heald belt assembly is also installed on the top ring 04, and the heald belt assembly moves up and down reciprocally under the drive of the swing arm, it will generate significant vibration. To increase the fixed reliability of the top ring 04 and ensure the tension of the heald belt assembly, a small frame 06 is set on the inner side of the top of the frame 02, and then the small frame 06 is fixedly connected to the top ring 04. During the operation of the circular loom, the warp threads sometimes break, requiring workers to monitor and reconnect them in time. If the warp thread breaks at the small frame 06, the obstruction of the small frame 06 will affect the worker's speed of reconnecting the warp, affecting work efficiency, reducing the worker's income, and having a negative impact on the worker. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a circular loom that solves the problem of small arches obstructing and affecting the efficiency of workers in splicing yarn, eliminates the impact of small arches on workers' operations, improves workers' efficiency in splicing yarn, and is conducive to improving weaving efficiency, increasing workers' income, and enhancing workers' work enthusiasm.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a circular loom, including a main machine, the main machine including a base, a gate, and a door ring assembly, the gate being erected and fixed to the base, the door ring assembly being fixed to the inner top of the gate, a top ring being installed above the door ring assembly, the gate extending outward and upward relative to the base, a protective ring being installed at the top of the gate, the height of the protective ring being lower than the height of the top ring, and the top ring and the top of the gate not being connected to form a 360° annular operating space.
[0005] After adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages: the height of the protective ring is lower than that of the top ring, which can avoid the protective ring being too high and obstructing the worker's view. At the same time, the archway and the top ring are not connected to form a 360° annular operating space. There is no physical obstruction, and any warp breakage can be directly observed. It is also more convenient to splice the warp, which is very beneficial to improving the worker's warp splicing efficiency, thereby improving weaving efficiency, increasing the worker's income, and improving the worker's work enthusiasm.
[0006] Furthermore, the gate ring assembly includes a lower gate ring, an upper gate ring, and support columns. An installation platform is formed at the top of the inner end of the archway. A middle ring is provided on the archway. The middle ring is connected and fixed to all installation platforms. The lower gate ring is fixed to the middle ring. The upper gate ring is connected to the lower gate ring through the support columns and is supported by the support columns. All support columns are equipped with rollers. All rollers form a rolling track for shuttle circular motion. The top ring is fixedly connected to the upper gate ring.
[0007] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the weight of the upper door ring and the upper components is supported by the support column, which increases the axial stability of the support column, reduces the axial movement of the roller, and ensures the smoothness of the shuttle when it makes a circular motion on the roller.
[0008] Furthermore, the top ring is fixedly connected to the upper door ring by support rods, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the top ring.
[0009] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the connection between the archway and the top ring is eliminated. Instead, a support rod is used to support and fix the top ring, thereby achieving a separation between the archway and the top ring.
[0010] Furthermore, the number of support rods is at least six.
[0011] The aforementioned technical solution ensures the stability of the top ring structure.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the top ring is larger than the outer diameter of the upper door ring, and the support rod tilts outward from the upper door ring and extends upward to the top ring.
[0013] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the support rods are inclined, and the components of the force on all the support rods in the radial direction of the top ring can cancel each other out, thereby improving the stability of the top ring when it is working on the circular loom.
[0014] Furthermore, the top of the support rod is provided with a support step, the longitudinal surface of which abuts against the inner side of the top ring, and the transverse surface of which abuts against the bottom surface of the top ring.
[0015] The aforementioned technical solution improves the reliability of the connection between the support rod and the top ring.
[0016] Furthermore, the inner side of the middle ring is provided with a horizontally protruding shuttle wheel track.
[0017] Using the aforementioned technical solution, the shuttle is propelled to make a smooth circular motion.
[0018] Furthermore, the inner side of the gate frame assembly on the upper part of the archway extends along an arc from the bottom to the top.
[0019] The aforementioned technical solution helps to eliminate stress concentration, improves the structural strength of the archway, and facilitates processing.
[0020] Furthermore, the top of the archway is provided with a positioning groove, and the protective ring is placed in the positioning groove.
[0021] The aforementioned technical solution improves the ease of installation of the protective ring. Moreover, the protective ring is in an unobstructed position, which also makes it easier for workers to observe the specific location after the warp breaks, and quickly connect the broken warp, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0022] Furthermore, a start / stop switch is provided at the top of the archway.
[0023] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the start / stop switch is installed at the top of the archway, which facilitates workers' timely and convenient operation of the circular loom. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be selected to be combined or substituted with each other according to the actual situation, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.
[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a circular loom, including a main machine, which includes a base 100, a gate 200, and a gate ring assembly. The gate 200 is vertically fixed to the base 100, and the gate ring assembly is fixed to the top inner end of the gate 200. A top ring 300 is installed above the gate ring assembly. The gate 200 extends outward and upward relative to the base 100. A protective ring 400 for detecting warp breakage is installed at the top of the gate 200. The height of the top of the gate 200 is lower than the height of the top ring 300, and the two are not connected to form a 360° annular operating space. In this utility model, the height of the protective ring 400 is lower than the height of the top ring, which can avoid the protective ring being too high and obstructing the worker's view. At the same time, the gate and the top ring are not connected to form a 360° annular operating space, and there is no physical obstruction. Warp breakage can be directly observed at any position, and warp splicing is also more convenient. This is very beneficial to improving the worker's warp splicing efficiency, thereby improving weaving efficiency, increasing worker income, and improving worker enthusiasm.
[0033] In one embodiment, the gate ring assembly includes a lower gate ring 51, an upper gate ring 52, and a support column 53. An installation platform 21 is formed at the top inner end of the archway 200. A middle ring 600 is provided on the archway 200, and the middle ring 600 is connected and fixed to all installation platforms 21. The lower gate ring 51 is fixed to the middle ring 600. The upper gate ring 52 is connected to the lower gate ring 51 via the support column 53 and is supported by the support column 53. All support columns 53 are equipped with rollers 531, which are axially positioned on the support column 53. All rollers 531 form a rolling track for the shuttle's circular motion. The top ring 300 is fixedly connected to the upper gate ring 52. The support column 53 supports the weight of the upper gate ring 52 and the components above it, increasing the axial stability of the support column 53, reducing axial movement, and ensuring the smoothness of the shuttle's circular motion on the support column 53. The rolling track facilitates high-speed shuttle movement and improves the weaving efficiency of the circular loom. Using the support column 53 to support the upper door ring 52 can be referenced to the applicant's prior art CN208995665U. Alternatively, the door ring assembly can also use an existing grille to support the upper door ring 52.
[0034] To reliably secure the top ring 300, it can be designed to be fixedly connected to the upper door ring 52 via support rods 31, with the support rods 31 evenly distributed along the circumference of the top ring 300. Since the connection to the archway 200 is eliminated, and the top ring 300 is supported and secured using support rods 31, a direct connection between the archway 200 and the top ring 300 is achieved. The number of support rods 31 is generally no less than six to ensure reliable support. The specific number of support rods 31 can be increased or decreased appropriately based on the individual strength of the support rods 31 and actual needs. As the diameter of the door ring assembly increases, the number of support rods 31 will increase to eight, twelve, or more. For details on the support method of the support rods 31, please refer to the applicant's prior art CN220265994U.
[0035] In one embodiment, the inner diameter D1 of the top ring 300 is larger than the outer diameter D2 of the upper gate ring 52, and the support rod 31 extends outward from the upper gate ring 52 and upward to the top ring 300. The support rod 31 is inclined, and the radial component of the force on all the support rods 31 can cancel each other out, thereby improving the stability of the top ring 300 when it is working on the circular loom.
[0036] The top end of the support rod 31 can be fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top ring 300. In one embodiment, the top end of the support rod 31 can also be designed to have a support step 311. The longitudinal surface 3111 of the support step 311 abuts against the inner side surface of the top ring 300, and the transverse surface 3112 of the support step 311 abuts against the bottom surface of the top ring 300, thereby improving the connection reliability between the support rod 31 and the top ring 300.
[0037] In one embodiment, the inner side of the central ring 600 is provided with a horizontally protruding shuttle wheel track 61, which is conducive to pushing the shuttle to make a smooth circular motion.
[0038] In one embodiment, the inner side 201 of the gate frame assembly on the upper surface of the archway 200 extends along an arc from the bottom to the top. This helps to eliminate stress concentration, improves the structural strength of the archway 200, and also facilitates processing.
[0039] The top of the archway 200 is provided with a positioning groove 22, and the protective ring 400 is placed in the positioning groove 22. This improves the ease of installation of the protective ring 400, and the fact that the protective ring 400 is in an unobstructed position also makes it easier for workers to observe the specific location after the warp breaks, allowing them to quickly connect the broken warp and improve work efficiency.
[0040] In other embodiments, the support column 53 may also be provided with a structure of multiple rollers 531, for example, refer to the prior art CN206814945U.
[0041] In addition to the preferred embodiments described above, there are other embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
