Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rapier weaving machine with at least one rapier, which is arranged on a rapier belt which can be inserted into a shed and pulled out of the shed and which is guided within the shed by means of movable guide means arranged in a row one behind the other, which lead into the shed - And can be moved out of the shed.
  • the movable guide means with hook-like elements enclose the edge of the rapier belt facing away from a weaving comb, while additionally supporting the underside of the rapier belt.
  • the gripper belt with the gripper rotates about its longitudinal axis during the insertion of a weft thread, so that the gripper and the gripper belt leave the guide means. This usually leads to an incorrectly entered weft thread.
  • a weaving machine is also known (FR 2 552 455 A1), in which two superposed sheds are formed by means of shed forming devices. Each of these shed is assigned a rapier driven by a rapier belt.
  • a plastic guide part is arranged, which protrudes on both sides over the gripper belt. The guide part forms a sliding surface with which it is guided on the weaving comb.
  • guide means are arranged on the side opposite the weaving comb, which are moved along with the weaving drawer and which accordingly move into and out of the weaving shed.
  • These guide means are each provided with a nose, to which a longitudinal groove of the guide part is assigned. In each case two guide means are in engagement with the guide part with their lugs.
  • the invention has for its object to design a rapier weaving machine of the type mentioned in such a way that the rapier belt and the rapier cannot move out of the guide means due to twisting.
  • a guide part is provided in the area of the gripper, which widens the gripper band at least on one side, and that the movable guide means are provided with guides which are assigned to the gripper band and the guide part.
  • the gripper belt Due to the additional guide part widening the gripper belt, the possibility of the gripper belt being restricted to move up and twist is restricted. Nevertheless, it is advantageously possible to arrange the gripper largely centrally on a flat side of the gripper belt.
  • the mutual distance of the movable guide means in the longitudinal direction of the gripper belt is matched to the length of the guide part is that at least two guide means are simultaneously engaged with the guide member. This ensures a particularly secure guidance of the guide part, which then cannot rotate between the guide means or move upwards.
  • the guide part has guide surfaces which form a lateral guide with guides of the movable guide means.
  • the accuracy of the guidance is thus largely determined only by the guidance part and the guidance means assigned to it.
  • the stationary guide means guide the gripper belt transversely and perpendicularly to its flat sides and have recesses which are at a distance from the guide surfaces of the guide part. This ensures that the stationary guide means align the gripper belt transversely and perpendicular to its flat sides, while the guide means which can be moved into the shed are assigned to the guide part. This significantly reduces the risk of wear of the gripper belt, since any misalignment of the movable guide means in relation to the stationary guide means does not lead to wear of the gripper belt.
  • the rapier weaving machine shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 contains two rapier belts (1) for a transfer rapier (2) and a transfer rapier (3).
  • the rapier belt (1) which is driven by a drive device (4), moves the transfer rapier (2) with the weft thread to be introduced into the region of the center of the rapier weaving machine, where the transfer rapier (3), the rapier belt (1) of which is also driven by drive means (4) is, takes the weft and transported to the opposite side.
  • the drive means (4) which are arranged in the area of side frames (5), contain a drive wheel (6), for example driven by a gear, for the two gripper belts (1).
  • the gripper belts (1) are held in contact with the respective drive wheel (6) by means of guide blocks (7).
  • the rapier weaving machine is also provided with a sley (8) which is mounted in the side frames (5) and which is driven by means of drive means (10) synchronized with the drive means (4).
  • the rapier weaving machine is also provided with a device for shedding, which in each case forms weaving sheds from warp threads (19, 20) into which the weft threads are inserted.
  • the sley (8) has a sley axis (15) which is provided with a sley profile (16) to which a weaving comb (9) is fastened by means of fastening means (17). After the weft threads have been introduced, they are attached to the cloth (22) by pivoting the sley (8) accordingly.
  • the weaving comb (9) is fastened to the weaving profile (16) by means of clamping devices.
  • the web shop profile (16) has an intermediate profile (18) fixed guide means (12), which can be seen in particular from FIG. 2. These guide means (12), which are fastened to the intermediate profile (18) by means of screws (21), are pivoted with the sley (8) in such a way that they move into the respective shed (14) formed and are then moved out again.
  • the stationary guide means (11) guide the gripper belts (1) parallel and perpendicular to their flat sides.
  • Guides of the guide means (11) are directly assigned to guide surfaces of the gripper belts (1).
  • the guide in particular the lateral guide, is essentially determined by a guide part (13) which in the area of the two rapiers (2 and 3) on the associated rapier belt and / or on the rapier (2 , 3) is attached.
  • this guide part essentially determines the lateral position in the area of the gripper.
  • the guide means (12) additionally guide the gripper belts (1) on the upper and lower flat sides.
  • the stationary guide means (11) and the movable guide means (12) are assigned to different guide surfaces and in particular also to different components With regard to the lateral guidance, namely the gripper belts (1) on the one hand and the guide parts (13) on the other hand, the risk of wear of the gripper belts is significantly reduced. In addition, a disruptive influence of a somewhat imprecise assembly of the movable guide means (12) with respect to the stationary guide means (11) is less disruptive. In particular, however, the advantage is also obtained that the gripper belts (1) cannot rotate with their grippers (2, 3) about their longitudinal axis, since both the guide parts (13) and the gripper belts (1) are moved by their movable guide means Tops and bottoms.
  • this structural unit is guided over approximately half of its total width between an upper and lower guide, so that it is practically impossible that the gripper belts (1) with the grippers (2, 3) rotate about their longitudinal axis and could leave the guide means (12).
  • the gripper belts (1) have guide surfaces (23, 24, 25, 26) in the region of the two end faces and in the edge region of the upper and lower flat sides, which are provided with guides (27, 28, 29, 30) of the stationary guide means (11) work together, but not with the movable guide means (12).
  • the stationary guide means (11) have a recess which, in the area of the one edge of the gripper belts (1), forms guides (27, 28, 29) assigned to this edge area, each of which adjoins one another at a right angle.
  • a guide (30) is provided, which is assigned to the end face of the gripper belt (1) which serves as the guide surface (26) and which has an essentially rectangular cross section.
  • the recess of the stationary guide means (11) is opposite the Gripper belt (1) reset in such a way that the gripper belt (1) is not touched in these areas.
  • the guide part (13) has a strip-shaped body which projects laterally and downward from the gripper belt.
  • the recess of the stationary guide means (11) is designed in such a way that it surrounds this strip-shaped body of the guide part (13) at a distance, i.e. do not touch and do not have a guiding function for this guiding part (13).
  • the strip-shaped body of the guide part (13) is then provided on the end face (26) of the gripper belt (1) with a recess into which a projection of the stationary guide means (11) forming the guide (30) projects, which only serves as the guide surface ( 26) serves the front side of the gripper belt, but maintains a distance from the guide part (13).
  • the gripper belts (11) are thus guided in the area of the stationary guide means perpendicular to their flat side (arrow direction B) and parallel to their flat sides (arrow direction C) by means of the stationary guide means (11).
  • FIGS. 6 to 8 The attachment of the guide part (13) is shown in FIGS. 6 to 8.
  • a recess is incorporated in the area of the end of the gripping bandage (1), into which the guide part is inserted with an extension which is essentially flush with the lower flat side of the gripper band (1).
  • the recess does not extend into the area of the guide surface (25) of the edge of the gripper belt (1) opposite the guide part (13), so that there is an uninterrupted transition between this guide surface (25) and the end face of the guide surface (24)
  • Gripper belt (1) is given. This prevents warp threads from getting caught between the gripper belt (1) and the guide part (13), as a result of which Warp thread breaks could arise.
  • the guide part (13) does not extend into the area of the guide (29).
  • the attachment of the guide part (13) is fastened together with the grippers (2 and 3) to the gripper belt (1) with screws (65) and nuts (66) in such a way that this gripper belt (1) between the grippers (2, 3) and the guide part (13) is clamped.
  • the distance of the guide means arranged in a row with respect to the length of the guide part (13) is selected such that at least two and possibly three guide means (12) engage the guide part (13). are located.
  • the gripper belts are provided with recesses (39) which are associated with a toothing of the drive wheel (6) of the drive device.
  • the strip-like body of the guide part (13) is provided with a longitudinal groove (42) into which a rib-like guide (43) movable guide means (12) engages. Under certain circumstances, this can reduce the risk of warp threads sticking to the guide means (12), in particular with certain bindings and / or with incorrectly separated warp threads.
  • the guide part (13) is attached in mirror image on the upper flat side of the gripper belt (1), so that its approach is then between the gripper belt (1) and the gripper (2 or 3).
  • the gripper belt (1) is widened by means of a guide part (13) which has the same thickness as the gripper belt (1).
  • a gripper (2) is arranged essentially in the center of the gripper belt (1).
  • the guide part (13) protrudes on both sides beyond the rapier belt (1) and is guided laterally between the movable guide means (12) and the weaving comb (9). On the side facing away from the weaving comb (9), it forms a substantial widening, while on the side facing the weaving comb (9) it forms only a narrow edge.
  • the gripper belt (1) and the guide part (13) are guided from an intermediate profile (18) which is connected to the sley (8) in a manner not shown.
  • the guide surface of the intermediate profile (18) is provided with a preferably elastic coating (60).
  • hook-shaped guide means (12) are fastened by screws, which extend with their crosspiece over the top of the guide part to close to the gripper (2), so that they also cover the edge region of the gripper belt (1) .
  • the gripper belt (1) and the guide part (13) are guided laterally between the upwardly projecting webs of the guide means (12) and the weaving comb (9) with a relatively large amount of play. Since the transverse webs of the guide means (12) extend over the guide part (13) and the gripper belt (1), this guide part and the gripper belt are with sufficient security against an upward movement or prevented from rotating about its longitudinal axis. This widening also has the advantage that the height of the shed (14) does not have to be increased.
  • the looper belt (1) and the guide part (13) slide on the lower warp threads (20).
  • the guide part is detachably fastened to the gripper (2 and 3) by means of screws and nuts (66).
  • the guide part is attached only to a gripper or only to a gripper belt (1).
  • only the lower flat side of the gripper belt (1) is supported by the coating (60) of the intermediate profile (18).
  • the guide part (13) is located laterally next to the rapier belt on the side facing away from the weaving comb (9). It is received by C-shaped guide means (12) which guide the top and the bottom of the guide part between them.
  • the guide means (12) movable with a sley support the gripper belt (1) and the guide part (13) both on the upper flat side and on the lower flat side, ie on the lower flat sides.
  • the guide part (13) has a greater strength than the gripper belt (1), on which a gripper (2) is again arranged in the center.
  • the guide part (13) is guided in a recess (61) delimited by side surfaces, so that these guide means (12) guide the guide part (13) parallel to the flat sides of the gripper belt and also perpendicular to it.
  • the guide part (13) is provided with a projection (64) which projects downwards over the underside of the gripper belt (1) and to which recesses of the movable guide means (12) are assigned. These recesses form a transverse guide with a side flank (63) and an opposite guide surface of the extension (64) of the guide part (13).
  • guide elements of this type can also be attached to the gripper (2), which cooperate with the movable guide means (12).
  • the hook-shaped extension (67) can be part of the gripper.
  • the gripper is provided with a strip-shaped guide projection (68) which is assigned to the upper edge of the guide means (12).
  • a guide part (13) is provided in the region of the gripper (2 or 3) of the gripper belt. It is of course also possible to provide one or more similar guide parts distributed over the length of the gripper belt (1) in addition to such a guide part.
