- the disadvantage of this known apparatus is, that to avoid a weaving bar, a further rewinding of the warp beam to an extent equal to a predetermined fraction of the said average value of length of warp is necessary. Only by this predetermined fraction an accurate positioning of the weaving bar is possible. It is difficult to determine the value of the predetermined fraction of the said average value of length of warp.

- the advantage offered by the invention is mainly, that positioning of the cloth fell of the woven fabric is possible without fail, to avoid a weaving bar.
- the apparatus for preventing the weaving bar in the loom comprises: slow rotation control means for controlling the slow rotation of the loom; and slow rotation amount detecting means for detecting the amount of the slow rotation effected by the slow rotation control switch, and the slow rotation control means is given a function of storing the amount of the slow rotation detected by the detecting means and of rotating the loom in advance in reverse direction for an amount equal to the stored slow rotation amount at the time of re-starting the weaving operation of the loom.

Description
- The present invention relates to apparatus for preventing weaving bar in a mispick recovery cycle in a loom according to the prior art portion of the
independent claim 1. - A weaving bar in a mispick recovery cycle in a loom is caused by the slow forward or reverse rotation of the loom while the weaving operation of the loom is being interrupted.
- In case of a failure in a weft insertion, the loom has to be slowly rotated in a reverse rotation to open a shed for pick finding so that it may be released from that failure. By this release, the error weft can be removed from the cloth fell of a woven fabric. The slow rotation for opening the shed for the pick finding to remove the error weft is accomplished either automatically or by turning on a slow inverse rotation control switch.
- From the document EP-A-0 184779 an apparatus for preventing weaving bar in a mispick recovery cycle in a loom is known. Supposing that a weft breaks, this known apparatus stops the shaft drive after one or more empty beats of the sley. In order to allow the removal of the broken weft, the shed is returned to the open configuration, in the condition in which the last weft was inserted and the weft is removed. Thereafter a motor causes rewinding of the warp beam by an amount equivalent to the average length of warp unwound since the mispick occurred.
- The disadvantage of this known apparatus is, that to avoid a weaving bar, a further rewinding of the warp beam to an extent equal to a predetermined fraction of the said average value of length of warp is necessary. Only by this predetermined fraction an accurate positioning of the weaving bar is possible. It is difficult to determine the value of the predetermined fraction of the said average value of length of warp.
- In a jet loom, a weft is subjected to a fine injection even while the weaving operation is being interrupted, so that it may be prevented from coming out of a weaving main nozzle. Upon occurrence of the weft insertion failure called the "short pick", however, the cut end of the error weft cut off may be brought from the weaving mainnozzle into the open shed by the fine injection. In case the slow inverse rotation for opening the shed for the pick finding so as to remove the error weft, the cut end in the open shed is grasped by the warp so that the shed has to be further opened, even after the automatic reverse rotation, for the pick finding by a slower rotation effected by the slow inverse rotation control switch. For this shed opening for the pick finding, the cloth fell of the woven fabric has to be positioned before re-starting the weaving operation of the loom by a slow forward rotation control switch. If, however, the amount of slow forward rotation necessary for positioning the cloth fell of the woven fabric is mistaken, the weaving bar occurs.
- The present invention has an object to provide apparatus for preventing the weaving bar in a loom in case of a failure in a weft insertion.
- The object is solved with an apparatus according to
claim 1. It solves the problem in avoiding a weaving bar by an apparatus in which rotation of the loom at a slow rate to open a shed for pick finding and the displacement of the cloth fell of a woven fabric take place synchronously. In the apparatus a control switch for the slow ration of the loom is provided. The advantage offered by the invention is mainly, that positioning of the cloth fell of the woven fabric is possible without fail, to avoid a weaving bar. - Further features of the invention are claimed in claims 2-7.
- According to a first exhibit of the invention, therefore, the apparatus for preventing the weaving bar in the loom comprises: slow rotation control means for controlling the slow rotation of the loom; and slow rotation amount detecting means for detecting the amount of the slow rotation effected by the slow rotation control switch, and the slow rotation control means is given a function of storing the amount of the slow rotation detected by the detecting means and of rotating the loom in advance in reverse direction for an amount equal to the stored slow rotation amount at the time of re-starting the weaving operation of the loom.
- According to a further embodiment of the invention, the apparatus for preventing weaving bar in a loom comprises: slow rotation control means for controlling the slow rotation of the loom; slow rotation amount detecting means for detecting the amount of the slow rotation effected by the slow rotation control switch; and display means for displaying the amount of the slow rotation detected by the slow rotation amount detecting means.
- By turning on the slow rotation control switch, the cloth fell of the woven fabric is synchronously displaced by the pitch of the weft for one rotation of the loom. In this first exhibit of the invention, the slow rotation control means is caused to store the amount of the slow rotation effected by the operation of the slow rotation control switch so that the loom is rotated in the reverse direction for an amount equal to the stored amount. By this reverse rotation, the cloth fell of the woven fabric is returned to its original position so that the it is accurately positioned.
- In this further example of the invention, the cloth fell of the woven fabric is returned to its original position if the reverse rotation is effected for the displayed amount of the slow rotation by turning on the slow rotation control switch.

- Fig. 2 is a schematic side elevation showing the whole structure of a loom. Reference letter M designates a loom motor which has its operation subjected to the control of a main control computer Co. Numeral 1 designates a reversible feed motor which is independent of the loom motor M for driving a
warp beam 2. A warp T fed out of thewarp beam 2 is guided through aback roller 3 and atension roller 4 into a deformedreed 6. A woven fabric W is taken up through an expansion bar 7, asurface roller 8, apress roller 9 and a smoothing guide member 10 by acloth roller 11. - The
tension roller 4 is carried at one end portion of atension lever 12 so that a predetermined tension may be applied to the warp T by atension spring 13 hooked on the other end portion of thetension lever 12. Thistension lever 12 is hinged to one end of a detection lever 14, which has its other end connected to aload cell 15. The warp tension is transmitted through thetension roller 4, thetension lever 12 and the detection lever 14 to theload cell 15 so that theload cell 15 outputs an electric signal according to the warp tension to the main control computer Co. - The main control computer Co controls the rotational speed of the
feed motor 1 on the basis of both the comparison between a predetermined tension and the detected tension grasped by the aforementioned input signal and the warp beam diameter grasped by a detection signal coming from arotary encoder 16 for detecting the angle of rotation of the loom. Thus, the warp tension in an ordinary operation is controlled to prevent the weaving bar in the loom during the weaving operation. - The main control computer Co commands the forward rotation of the
feed motor 1 on the basis of an ON signal coming from astart switch 17 to control the rotational speed of thefeed motor 1 in a feedback manner on the basis of a rotational speed detecting signal coming from a rotary encoder la built in thefeed motor 1. - The
surface roller 8 is operationally connected to a reversible take-up motor 18 which is independent of the loom motor M. The main control computer Co controls the rotational speed of the take-up motor in a feedback manner on the basis of the rotational speed detecting signal coming from arotary encoder 18a built in the take-up motor 18. - Fig. 1 is a schematic front elevation showing a weft inserting apparatus. Numeral 19 designates a winding type weft metering reservoir. The weft metered and reserved by the
weft metering reservoir 19 is inserted and injected from a weft insertingmain nozzle 20. At the terminal of the weft insertion, there is arranged aweft detector 21 having a reflection type photoelectric sensor for producing data for judging whether or not the weft insertion fails. - The let-off and stop of the weft from the winding
face 19a of theweft metering reservoir 19 are effected by magnetizing and demagnetizing anelectromagnetic solenoid 22 for driving astop pin 22a. The control of the magnetizing and demagnetizing thesolenoid 22 is accomplished by a command coming from an auxiliary control computer C₁. This auxiliary control computer C₁ control the magnetization/demagnetization of theelectromagnetic solenoid 22 on the basis of the detected data of the angle of rotation of the loom obtained from the main control computer Co. - In the vicinity of the winding
face 19a, there is arranged a weft let-off detector 23 made of a reflection type photoelectric sensor, which detects the weft being let off from the windingface 19a. The auxiliary control computer C₁ commands the demagnetization of theelectromagnetic solenoid 22 when the detected number of let-off from the weft let-off detector 23 reaches a preset value, so that thestop pin 22a comes into engagement with the windingface 19a to block the left-off of the weft. - The weft thus inserted is cut off at each insertion, after it has been beaten, by a
cutter 24. - To the inserting
main nozzle 20, there are connected in parallel an insertingair supply tube 25 and abreeze tube 26. Thisbreeze tube 26 is supplied at all times with air under a low pressure so that the insertingmain nozzle 20 finely injects in the operations other than the inserting injection. This fine injection prevents the weft from coming out from the insertingmain nozzle 20, and this prevention is carried out even when the weaving operation is interrupted. - In addition to the
start switch 17, astop switch 27, a slowreverse rotation switch 28 and a slowforward rotation switch 29 are connected with the main control computer Co. - Flow charts of Figs. 6 and 7 illustrate a slow rotation control program, on the basis of which the main control computer Co executes the slow rotation control in case the weft insertion fails. Upon this failure, the insertion of a succeeding weft is blocked, and the motors M, 1 and 18 have their operations stopped synchronously so that the
deformed reed 6 is halted at a position immediately before the beating operation, as indicated by solid lines in Fig. 3. Reference letter Y indicates an error weft. - After the synchronous stops, the motors M, 1 and 18 synchronously rotate at slow rates in reverse directions to bring the
deformed reed 6 to the most retracted position of Fig. 4, and the warp T opens the largest shed. The loom makes one and half rotations so that thedeformed reed 6 moves to the position, as indicated by chains in Fig. 3, and swings one more reciprocation. A weft Y₂ having been inserted before the error weft Y is shifted by that automatic slow reverse rotation to the normal position P of the cloth fell of the woven fabric, as shown in Fig. 4. - In case the failure in the weft insertion is the short pick, as shown in Fig. 1, the cut end portion Y₁ of the error weft Y by the
cutter 24 is subjected to the fine injection of the insertingmain nozzle 20. By the action of this fine injection, the cut end portion Y₁ may enter the shed of the warps, while thedeformed reed 6 makes one more reciprocal swing from the chained position of Fig. 3, until it may be grasped by the warps T, as shown in Fig. 4. In order to remove this error weft Y, the cut end portion Y₁ has to be extracted at first from the opened warp shed by turning on the slow reverserotation control switch 28 to rotate the loom once and by pick-finding the cut end portion Y₁. Next, the loom has to be rotated once more in the reverse direction by turning on the slow reverserotation control switch 28, or the loom has to be rotated once in the forward direction by turning on the slow forwardrotation control switch 29, so that the pick of the error weft Y may be found out. - In case the error weft is to be extracted by the reverse rotation, for example, the main control computer Co causes the motors M, 1 and 18 slowly in the synchronous manner in response to the slow reverse command which is produced by turning on the slow reverse
rotation control switch 28, and stores the amount R of this slow reverse rotation on the basis of the rotation data coming from therotary encoder 16. By this synchronous slow reverse rotation, the weft Y₂ is displaced from the normal position P of the cloth fell of the woven fabric to the position of the cut end portion Y₁ of Fig. 4. - If the
start switch 17 is turned on after the error weft has been removed, the main control computer Co causes the motors M, 1 and 18 to rotate synchronously in the reverse directions, i.e., rotate slowly forward for the stored amount R of the slow reverse rotation. By this slow forward rotation, thedeformed reed 6 swings reciprocally twice from the position of Fig. 4 so that the weft Y₂ inserted before the error weft Y is returned to the normal position P of the cloth fell of the woven fabric. Moreover, the main control computer Co rotates the loom slowly further for a predetermined amount in the reverse direction from that state. After this slow reverse rotation of the predetermined amount, thedeformed reed 6 passes over the normal position P and stops at the position for re-starting the weaving operation immediately before the beating operation of Fig. 5, until the weaving operation is restarted from that state. As a result, the weaving operation is restarted to cause no weaving bar, because the weft Y₂ inserted before the error weft Y removed from the warp shed is in the normal position P of the cloth fell of the woven fabric. - The present invention should not be restricted to the foregoing embodiment only, but could be embodied, as shown in Fig. 8, such that a
display unit 30 is connected with a main control computer C2 so that it may display the amount of slow forward/reverse rotations which are caused by turning of the slow reverserotation control switch 28 and the slow forwardrotation control switch 29. By the main control computer C2, thedisplay unit 30 is caused to display the accumulated amounts of the slow forward/reverse rotations effected by the slow reverserotation control switch 28 or the slow forwardrotation control switch 29. When these amounts of slow forward and reverse rotations become equal, they are displayed at a value of zero. In order to effect the positioning of the cloth fell of the woven fabric, therefore, the slow reverserotation control switch 28 or the slow forwardrotation control switch 29 may be turned on to display the amounts of the slow forward/reverse rotations at the zero value, thus ensuring the positioning of the cloth fell of the woven fabric. - As has been described in detail hereinbefore, according to the first embodiment of the invention, the amount of slow rotation by the slow rotation control switch is reversed for re-starting the weaving operation so that the displacement of the cloth fell of the woven fabric caused by the operation of the slow rotation control switch is absorbed to provide an excellent effect that the positioning of the cloth fell of the woven fabric can be ensured to prevent the weaving bar in the loom.
- According to the second example of the invention, the amount of the slow rotation by the operation of the slow rotation control switch is displayed. Thus, if the slow rotation control switch is so operated before the restart of the weaving operation as to display the amount of slow rotation at the value of zero, the displacement of the cloth fell of the woven fabric caused by the operation of the slow rotation control switch is absorbed to provide an excellent effect that the weaving bar in the loom caused by the operation of the slow rotation control switch can be prevented without fail.
- 16 - - - Rotary Encoder Acting as Slow Rotation Amount Detecting Means; 28 - - - Slow Reverse Rotation Control Switch; 29 - - - Slow Forward Rotation Control Switch; 30 - - - Display Unit; Co - - - Main Control Computer Acting as Slow Rotation Control Means.
