Definitions

  • the invention relates to a machine for automatically pulling warp threads from a warp beam into the harness of a weaving machine, with a warp beam carriage for receiving the warp beam, and with a device referred to below as a lifting device for receiving a pull-in frame provided for stretching a warp thread layer, the covering of which is separated from the Pulling-in machine takes place, and which, after covering, can be transported to the drawing-in machine together with the lifting device and the warp beam carriage and is arranged to be movable along the latter.
  • the lifting device is formed by a so-called drawing-in carriage.
  • the pull-in frame is permanently mounted on the pull-in trolley and forms a structural unit with it.
  • a special guide for the draw-in carriage with the warp beam carriage that is embedded in the floor must be provided along the draw-in machine in order to ensure the required precise guidance of the warp thread layer relative to the draw-in machine.
  • This tour also represents a cost factor and, of course, it has an inhibiting effect on every change of location of a drawing machine once set up, which impairs its user-friendliness.
  • the invention now makes the warp beam wagon with the lifting device and the pull-in frame much easier and cheaper and no special guidance in the floor should be required.
  • the pull-in frame in the pull-in machine according to the invention is no longer carried in front of a pull-in carriage but instead by the pull-in machine during its adjustment movement along the pull-in machine, the extremely stable structure for the pull-in frame that was previously required is eliminated in the lifting device. This makes the lifting device easier and cheaper. Special guides in the floor for the pull-in car are not necessary, so that there is also simplification and cost reduction in this regard.
  • the drawing-in machine consists of a base frame 1 and of various assemblies arranged in it, each of which represents a functional module.
  • a warp beam carriage 2 with a warp beam 3 arranged on it can be seen.
  • the warp beam carriage 2 is coupled via the warp beam 3 to a device, hereinafter referred to as a lifting device 4, for receiving and holding a pull-in frame 5, on which the warp threads KF are stretched.
  • This clamping takes place before the actual drawing in and at a location separate from the drawing machine, with the drawing frame 5 at the lower end of the lifting device 4 is positioned in close proximity to the warp beam 3.
  • the warp beam carriage 2 with the warp beam 3 and lifting device 4 is moved to the so-called upgrade side of the pulling-in machine and the pulling frame 5 is lifted up by the lifting device 4 and suspended in the base frame 1, where it then assumes the position shown.
  • the frame 5 is suspended in a transport device mounted on the front upper longitudinal member 6 of the base frame 1 (see FIG. 7).
  • the frame 5 and the warp beam carriage 2 with the warp beam 3 and the lifting device 4 are shifted from left to right in the longitudinal direction of the carrier 6.
  • the warp threads KF are guided past a thread separating stage FT, which has a device for dividing the warp threads and for cutting off the divided warp threads KF and a device for presenting the cut warp threads to a pull-in needle 7, the latter forming part of the so-called pull-in module.
  • the sectioning device used in the USTER TOPMATIC warp knitting machine can be used, for example, to separate the warp threads.
  • a screen device 8 which belongs to an operating station and for displaying machine functions and machine malfunctions and for Data entry is used.
  • the operating station which forms part of a so-called programming module, also contains an input stage for the manual input of certain functions, such as, for example, crawl gear, start / stop, repetition of operations, and the like.
  • the drawing-in machine is controlled by a control module containing a control computer, which is arranged in a control box 9.
  • this control box contains a module computer for each so-called main module, the individual module computers being controlled and monitored by the control computer.
  • the main modules of the drawing machine are, in addition to the modules already mentioned, drawing module, yarn module, control module and programming module, the strand, the lamella and the sheet module.
  • the thread separation stage FT which presents the warp threads KF to be drawn in to the pull-in needle 7, and the path of movement of the pull-in needle 7, which runs perpendicular to the plane of the stretched warp threads KF, determine a plane in the region of a support 10 forming part of the base frame, which supports the already mentioned upgrade side of the so-called disassembly side of the drawing machine.
  • the warp threads and the individual elements into which the warp threads are to be fed are fed in on the upgrade side, and the so-called dishes (strands, lamellae and sheets) with the drawn-in warp threads can be removed on the tear-down side.
  • the warp thread guard slats LA Immediately behind the plane of the warp threads KF are the warp thread guard slats LA, behind them the healds LI and even further behind the reed.
  • the lamellae LA are stacked in hand magazines, and the full hand magazines are hung in inclined feed rails 11, on which they are transported to the right, towards the pull-in needle 7. There they are separated and brought into the feed position. After pulling in, the lamellae LA arrive on lamella support rails 12 on the dismantling side.
  • the strands LI are lined up on rails 13 and shifted to a separating stage thereon. Then the healds LI are individually brought into their retracted position and, after they have been drawn in, distributed to the corresponding heald frames 14 on the dismantling side. The reed is also moved past the pull-in needle 7 step by step, the corresponding sheet gap being opened for the feed. After it has been drawn in, the sheet is also on the dismantling side. To the right of the heald frames 14 is a part of the reed WB. This illustration is to be understood purely for illustrative purposes, since the reed is of course located on the upgrade page in the position of the frame 5 shown.
  • a so-called crockery trolley 15 is provided on the dismantling side. This is inserted together with the slat support rails 12, heald frames 14 and a holder for the reed attached to the base frame 1 in the position shown and carries the dishes with the drawn-in warp threads KF after being drawn in.
  • the warp beam carriage 2 with the warp beam 3 and the lifting device 4 is located immediately in front of the dishwashing carriage 15. Now the dishes are transferred from the dishwashing carriage 15 to the warp beam carriage 2 by means of the lifting device 4, which then carries the warp beam 3 and the pulled-in dishes and can be driven to the weaving machine in question or to an interim storage facility.
  • the individual main modules of the drawing-in machine are made up of sub-modules, which are each intended for specific functions.
  • this modular structure is not the subject of the present invention.
  • the sub-module carrying and transporting the stretched thread layer, which forms part of the yarn module, will now be described below.
  • the entire yarn module consists essentially of the warp beam carriage 2 and the lifting device 4 with its longitudinal drive, the pull-in frame 5 with its transport device and the Thread separation stage FT; the sub-module carrying and transporting the stretched thread layer comprises the pull-in frame 5 and its transport device.
  • the pull-in frame 5 is shown in FIG. 2 in a front view, seen from the pulling-in machine; FIG. 3 shows a view from the left relating to FIG. 2.
  • the pull-in frame 5 is formed by an essentially approximately C-shaped frame made of profiled tubes with a rectangular or square cross section, which has a cross bar 16 and 17 at its upper and lower end, and a longitudinal bar at its free end 18 is attached. These longitudinal beams 18 are provided as carriers for clamping rails KS for stretching the thread layer.
  • two supports 19 are arranged which project beyond the longitudinal beams 18 and which serve to pivotably hold a brush tree 20 and each carry a wedge-shaped nose 21 projecting downwards. These lugs serve to hang the pull-in frame 5 in its transport device and to fix it in it (see FIGS. 7 and 8).
  • the brush tree 20 is known and will not be explained in detail here. It is used for tensioning the warp threads KF when the thread layer is tensioned, it being in the position shown in FIG. 3 and in FIG. 5 (in the latter with full lines). The warp threads are guided at their ends over brushes of the brush tree 20 and are tensioned by turning the brush tree 20 counterclockwise. After the thread layer has been stretched, the brush tree 20 is pivoted into the position shown in broken lines in FIG. 5.
  • guides are provided at its lower end which engage in a corresponding guide rail of the pull-in machine and serve to fix the pull-in frame relative to the pull-in machine.
  • these guides each comprise a support rod 22 which is adjustably and fixably mounted in the vertical beams of the pull-in frame 5, a slide block 23 running in the mentioned guide rail and a leaf spring-like connecting piece 24 via which the slide block 23 is fastened to the support rod 22.
  • the roller-like members 25 shown at the bottom right in FIG. 3 are deflecting rods for the warp threads supplied by the warp beam.
  • the warp beam is arranged to the left of the pull-in frame 5, the thread layer is stretched vertically between the clamping rails KS, and the actual pulling-in machine is located to the right of the pull-in frame 5, which, as already mentioned, is in the carrier 6 of the pulling-in machine (FIG . 1) is performed.
  • two pairs of clamping rails KS are provided for two thread layers spaced apart from one another. From Each clamping rail pair for a thread layer one clamping rail KS is adjustable relative to the other for tensioning the thread layer.
  • the adjusting mechanism VM in FIG. 2 in is indicated by a circle.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 The clamping rails KS, their attachment and their adjustment mechanism VM are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, with FIG. 4 showing a front view corresponding to the section encircled in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 showing a side view from the left.
  • FIG. 4 shows a front view corresponding to the section encircled in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 showing a side view from the left.
  • the clamping rails KS are omitted for clarity.
  • These clamping rails which are also referred to as the USTER thread clamping system, are known from the USTER TOPMATIC knotting machine and from the USTER DELTA drawing-in machine and are not explained in more detail here.
  • the clamping rails KS are, as can be seen in FIG. 5, carried by holding profiles 26, which in turn are mounted on corresponding support plates 27, either directly, like the right, adjustable holding profile in FIG. 5, or like that in FIG.
  • the support plate 27 is fastened to a bearing stand 29 screwed to the longitudinal beam 18, at of the adjustable clamping rail on an angle lever 31 mounted on this bearing stand 29 and adjustable against spring force by a screw 30.
  • the maximum adjustment position can be seen from the holding profile 26 shown in broken lines in FIG. 5.
  • a number of adjustment mechanisms VM are provided along the length of the clamping rail, specifically for the pair of clamping rails for the first thread layer on the upper and for the pair of clamping rails for the second thread layer on the lower clamping rail KS.
  • the clamping rails KS can be adjusted and fixed in the longitudinal direction relative to the support plates 27 in order to enable optimal alignment of the warp threads KF.
  • the warp threads between the clamping rails KS preferably do not run strictly vertically, but slightly obliquely, which facilitates the division of the warp threads.
  • FIG. 6 shows a particularly simple and advantageous variant of the clamping rails KS shown in FIG. 5, which, as shown, only requires three different individual parts, namely a C- or U-shaped clamping profile KP, which with the holding profile 26 or with the support plates 27 (FIG. 5) is connected, an elastic hose 32 and a clamping rod 33 with a flattened cross section.
  • a thread layer KF placed over the opening of the clamping profile KP
  • the hose 32 is inserted with the clamping rod inserted 33 with the thread layer pressed into the clamping profile KP, the clamping rod 33 passing the opening of the clamping profile upright (FIG. 6a).
  • FIG. 6b shows the hose 32 with the clamping rod 33 pressed into the clamping profile KP, the thread layer KF being deflected between the hose 32 and the inner surfaces of the clamping profile KP.
  • the clamp is now locked by rotating the clamping rod 33 in the hose 32 by 90 ° about its longitudinal axis (FIG. 6c), which leads to the production of a stable clamping between the clamping rod 33 and the trapezoidal inner cross section of the clamping profile KP via hose 32.
  • FIGS. 7 to 9 show the transport device for the pull-in frame 5, which has already been mentioned several times.
  • 7 shows a front view in the direction of view from the warp beam carriage 2 (FIG. 1) to the drawing-in machine
  • FIG. 8 shows a section along the line VIII-VIII
  • FIG. 9 shows a section along the line IX-IX from FIG. 7.
  • the transport device is formed by a carriage LW which can be driven along the drawing-in machine, in which the drawing-in frame 5 is hung with its lugs 21 (FIGS. 2, 3).
  • the upper longitudinal member 6 of the drawing-in machine used for guiding the carriage LW is, as shown, formed by a double-T profile, to which a running rail 34 is screwed at a distance.
  • the carriage LW consists essentially of a carrier 35 of suitable, torsionally rigid Form, made of vertical holding plates 36 fastened to this carrier with horizontal supports 37, which have recesses 38 for receiving the lugs 21 of the pull-in frame 5, of running wheels 39 mounted on the holding plates 36, which run on the running rail 34 and embrace them on both sides, and from a driver block 40, on which a drive means engages.
  • the latter is formed by a toothed belt 41, which is guided around wheels 42 mounted on the longitudinal beam 6 and is positively connected to the driver block 40.
  • Two belt wheels 42 are provided, only one of which is shown in FIG. 7 and one of which is driven. This belt wheel and thus the toothed belt 41 and the entire retracting frame 5 are driven step by step by a motor.
  • the pull-in frame controls the running of the lifting device 4 with the warp beam carriage 2 and the warp beam 3 (FIG. 1).
