Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Frottierwebmaschine, die auf der Basis einer oszillierenden Verschiebung der Anschlagkante eines herzustellenden Gewebes im Rhythmus und synchron mit dem Antrieb eines Webblattes arbeitet.The invention relates to a terry weaving machine that works on the basis of an oscillating displacement of the stop edge of a fabric to be produced in rhythm and synchronously with the drive of a reed.

Zur Herstellung von Frottierware auf Webmaschinen sind mehrere Verfahrenswege und Vorrichtungen zu deren Durchführung bekannt.
So zum Beispiel kann die Florbildung mittels der sogenannten Webladensteuerung gemäß der Erfindung nach dem EP 0 298 454 B1 erfolgen. Darauf soll nachfolgend nicht näher eingegangen werden, weil Grundlage der zu offenbarenden erfinderischen Lösung die sogenannte Gewebesteuerung ist.
Aus der EP 0 298 454 B1 ist aber bekannt, daß während des Webprozesses bei der Herstellung von Frottiergewebe variierbare Florhöhen realisiert werden können. Dazu steht die Webladenwelle über entsprechende getriebliche Mittel mit einem vom Webmaschinenantrieb unabhängigen Servoantrieb in Verbindung, der frei und einzelschußweise ansteuerbar ist.
Durch die einzelschußweise Ansteuerung des separaten Antriebes ist jeder beliebige Frottierrhythmus erreich- und in beliebiger Folge wechselbar.
For the production of terry goods on weaving machines, several process routes and devices for carrying them out are known.
For example, the pile formation can take place by means of the so-called weaving shop control according to the invention according to EP 0 298 454 B1. This will not be discussed in more detail below, because the basis of the inventive solution to be disclosed is the so-called tissue control.
However, it is known from EP 0 298 454 B1 that variable pile heights can be achieved during the weaving process in the production of terry cloth. For this purpose, the shaft of the loom is connected to a servo drive which is independent of the loom drive and which can be controlled freely and in individual wefts.
Through the individual shot control of the separate drive, any terry rhythm can be reached and changed in any order.

Zur Herstellung von Frottierware mit variabler Florhöhe mittels der sogenannten Gewebesteuerung hat die Anmelderin eine Frottierwebmaschine als Prototyp gefertigt, die einen separaten und vom Webmaschinenantrieb unabhängigen Antrieb zur freien und einzelschußweisen Steuerung besitzt, der mit Übertragungselementen zur Veränderung der Florhöhe während des Webprozesses in Verbindung steht. Diese Übertragungselemente, die auf die Florbildeorgane wirken, steuern die Bewegung des Gewebes und die der Grundkette.
Als separat steuerbarer Antrieb wurde ein hydraulischer Linearverstärker mit integraler Proportionalregelung verwendet.
For the production of terry goods with variable pile height by means of the so-called fabric control, the applicant has produced a terry weaving machine as a prototype, which has a separate drive for free and single-weft control that is independent of the loom drive and is connected to transmission elements for changing the pile height during the weaving process. These transmission elements, which act on the pile organs, control the movement of the fabric and that of the basic chain.
A hydraulic linear amplifier with integral proportional control was used as a separately controllable drive.

Mittels der elektronischen Steuerung konnte die Florhöhe bedarfsgerecht vorgegeben und auch ein Glattweben für Bordüren realisiert werden.Using the electronic control, the pile height could be specified as required and smooth weaving for borders could also be realized.

Aus der EP 0 350 446 B1 ist ein Frottierwebverfahren und eine Webmaschine mit Florbildeorganen bekannt, wobei die Webmaschine Vorkehrungen aufweist, um nach dem Prinzip der Webladensteuerung Frottiergewebe mit variabler Florhöhe zu realisieren.
Des weiteren offenbart die EP 0 350 446 B1 eine Webmaschine, die nach dem Prinzip der Gewebesteuerung Frottiergewebe mit variabler Florhöhe realisiert.
Zur Florhöhenveränderung ist wenigstens ein Florbildeorgan durch einen separaten Antrieb betätigt, der einzelschußweise und frei ansteuerbar ist.
Als separater Antrieb wird ein Servomotor vorgeschlagen, der über ein Untersetzungsgetriebe und/oder Übertragungselemente mit mindestens einem Florbildeorgan gekoppelt ist.
From EP 0 350 446 B1 a terry weaving method and a weaving machine with pile forming elements are known, the weaving machine having arrangements to realize terry fabrics with a variable pile height according to the principle of the weaving shop control.
Furthermore, EP 0 350 446 B1 discloses a weaving machine which realizes terry fabrics with a variable pile height according to the principle of fabric control.
To change the pile height, at least one pile forming element is actuated by a separate drive, which can be controlled individually and individually.
A servo motor is proposed as a separate drive, which is coupled to at least one pile forming element via a reduction gear and / or transmission elements.

Des weiteren ist aus der DE 44 32 452 A1 eine Frottierwebmaschine mit einer Frottiereinrichtung zur kontinuierlichen Veränderung der Florhöhe während des Webens bekannt. Hier erfolgt die Frottierbildung ebenfalls auf der Grundlage der sogenannten Gewebesteuerung, d.h. die Schußfaden-Anschlagkante des Gewebes erfährt im Rhythmus und synchron zur Schußfaden-Anschlagbewegung des Webblattes eine Verschiebung hin zur Anschlagposition des Webblattes und weg von dieser.
Die Frottierbildeeinrichtung besteht aus einem Kugelspindelmechanismus, der zur Drehrichtungsumkehr der Kugelspindel mit einem mustersteuerbaren motorischen Antrieb in Verbindung steht. An dem Mechanismus ist ein drehbeweglich gelagerter Winkelhebel mit einem seiner Hebelarme angelenkt. Der andere Hebelarm ist über eine Koppel mit einem sogenannten drehbar gelagerten Zwischenhebel verbunden, der neben einem Hebel zur Anlenkung der vom Winkelhebel ausgehenden Koppel, zwei weitere Hebelarme aufweist.
An einem der weiteren Hebelarme ist eine zweite Koppel angelenkt, die mit einem die Gewebeverschiebung bewirkenden Bauteil verbunden ist, während an dem anderen weiteren Hebelarm eine dritte Koppel angelenkt ist, die auf ein die Polkettspannung beeinflussendes Bauteil wirkt.
Furthermore, from DE 44 32 452 A1 a terry weaving machine with a terry device for continuously changing the pile height during weaving is known. Here the terry formation also takes place on the basis of the so-called fabric control, ie the weft stop edge of the fabric undergoes a shift towards and away from the reed position of the reed in rhythm and in synchronism with the weft stop movement of the reed.
The terry formation device consists of a ball screw mechanism, which is connected to a pattern-controllable motor drive to reverse the direction of rotation of the ball screw. A rotatably mounted angle lever is articulated to the mechanism with one of its lever arms. The other lever arm is connected via a coupling to a so-called rotatably mounted intermediate lever which, in addition to a lever for articulating the coupling originating from the angle lever, has two further lever arms.
A second coupling is articulated on one of the further lever arms, which is connected to a component causing the tissue displacement, while on the another lever arm a third coupling is articulated, which acts on a component influencing the chain voltage.

Bei allen vorbekannten Webmaschinen zur Herstellung von Frottiergewebe beruht die Ausbildung einer variablen Florhöhe auf einen unabhängig vom Webmaschinen-Hauptantrieb gesteuerten Servomotor, der mit Organen zur Gewebeverschiebung oder mit Organen zur Verstellung der Anschlagposition des Webblattes in Verbindung steht.
Ein solcher Servomotor erfordert eine hohe Antriebsleistung zur Ausführung der Frottierbewegung.
Keiner der bekannten Webmaschinen liegt also eine Vorrichtung in Art eines vom Webmaschinen-Hauptantrieb abgeleiteten Exzenterantriebes zugrunde, der mit Organen zur Gewebeverschiebung zum Zwecke der Ausbildung einer bestimmten Florhöhe in Verbindung steht.
Hier setzt die Erfindung an.
In all previously known looms for the production of terry fabrics, the formation of a variable pile height is based on a servo motor which is controlled independently of the loom main drive and which is connected to organs for tissue displacement or with organs for adjusting the stop position of the reed.
Such a servomotor requires a high drive power to carry out the terry movement.
None of the known weaving machines is therefore based on a device in the manner of an eccentric drive derived from the weaving machine main drive, which is connected to organs for tissue displacement for the purpose of forming a certain pile height.
This is where the invention comes in.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Florhöhenverstelleinrichtung für Frottierwebmaschinen der im Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs genannten Gattung zu schaffen, deren Frottierbildung auf der Basis der Gewebesteuerung beruht und wobei die Florhöhe, ausgehend von einer festgelegten ersten Florhöhe, kontinuierlich veränderbar ist.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a pile height adjustment device for terry weaving machines of the type mentioned in the preamble of the main claim, the terry formation of which is based on the fabric control and wherein the pile height can be changed continuously, starting from a specified first pile height.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche 1 und 3 gelöst.
Erfindungswesentlich ist danach, daß bei einer mit einer Grundflorbildeeinrichtung ausgerüsteten Webmaschine, die auf der Grundlage der sogenannten Gewebesteuerung arbeitet, in einem die Frottierbewegung übertragenden Mechanismus eine Florhöhenverstelleinrichtung eingebunden ist.
The object is achieved by the features of independent claims 1 and 3.
It is essential to the invention that a pile height adjustment device is integrated in a weaving machine equipped with a basic pile forming device, which works on the basis of the so-called fabric control, in a mechanism that transmits the terry movement.

Die Florhöhenverstelleinrichtung nimmt, ausgehend von bekannten Vorkehrungen zur Ausführung einer sogenannten Grundfrottierbewegung, derart Einfluß auf diese Vorkehrungen, daß in einem vorgegebenen Rahmen eine Veränderung der Florhöhe, ausgehend von der Grundflorhöhe, bewirkt werden kann.The pile height adjustment device exerts such influence on the basis of known arrangements for executing a so-called basic terry movement these precautions that a change in the pile height, starting from the base pile height, can be effected within a predetermined framework.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher beschrieben.
In den Zeichnungen zeigen:

Figur 2:
die Florhöhenverstelleinrichtung im Schnitt gemäß der Linie A-A nach Figur 1 als Getriebeeinheit mit einem vom Webmaschinen-Hauptantrieb unabhängigem Antrieb.
The invention is described below with reference to an embodiment.
The drawings show:
Figure 1:
a terry weaving machine in side view with the pile height adjustment device integrated between the double lever and the fabric shifting component,
Figure 2:
the pile height adjustment device in section along the line AA of Figure 1 as a gear unit with a drive independent of the main loom drive.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Webmaschine 1 besitzt einen Grundkettbaum 2 mit Grundkette 3, die, ausgehend von dem Grundkettbaum 2, über einen Spannbaum 4 zu den das Webfach 5 bildenden Fachbildeorganen 6 und schließlich zu dem Bindepunkt 7 des Gewebes 8 geführt ist.
Das fertige Gewebe 8 wird über ein Gewebeverschiebebauteil geführt, das im vorliegenden Fall die Einziehwalze 9 ist.
Von der Einziehwalze 9 gelangt das Gewebe 8, gegebenenfalls über weitere Umlenkwalzen, die hier nicht dargestellt sind, zu dem Warenbaum 10.
Die Florkette 11 wird von einem Florkettbaum 12 nach einer Umlenkwalze 13 zu einer Tänzerwelle 14 und von dieser durch die Fachbildeorgane 6 hindurch zu dem Bindepunkt 7 des Gewebes 8 geführt.
The weaving machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a basic warp beam 2 with a basic warp 3, which, starting from the basic warp beam 2, is guided via a tensioning beam 4 to the shedding organs 6 forming the shed 5 and finally to the binding point 7 of the fabric 8.
The finished fabric 8 is guided over a fabric shifting component, which in the present case is the feed roller 9.
The fabric 8 passes from the drawing-in roller 9, possibly via further deflection rollers, which are not shown here, to the goods tree 10.
The pile chain 11 is guided from a pile warp beam 12 after a deflection roller 13 to a dancer shaft 14 and from there through the shedding elements 6 to the binding point 7 of the fabric 8.

Von einem schematisch dargestellten Webmaschinen-Hauptantrieb 15 wird der Antrieb für wenigstens einen sogenannten Frottierexzenter 16 und der Antrieb für ein mit der Weblade 17 verbundenes Webblatt 18 abgeleitet.
Mit dem Frottierexzenter 16 steht ein um eine maschinenfeste Achse 19 drehbar gelagerter Doppelhebel 20 über eine Abtastrolle 21 in Wirkverbindung.
An dem Doppelhebel 20 greift eine Zugfeder 22 an, die sicherstellt, daß die Abtastrolle 21 des Doppelhebels 20 nicht von der Exzenterscheibe abhebt.
Erfindungswesentlich ist nun, daß zwischen dem Doppelhebel 20 und der Einziehwalze 9 eine Florhöhenverstelleinrichtung 23 eingeordnet ist, welche einen von dem Hauptantrieb 15 unabhängigen motorischen Antrieb 24 besitzt.
The drive for at least one so-called terry cloth eccentric 16 and the drive for a reed 18 connected to the sley 17 are derived from a schematically illustrated main loom drive 15.
The terry cam 16 is rotatable about an axis 19 fixed to the machine mounted double lever 20 via a scanning roller 21 in operative connection.
A tension spring 22 acts on the double lever 20, which ensures that the scanning roller 21 of the double lever 20 does not lift off the eccentric disk.
It is essential to the invention that a pile height adjustment device 23 is arranged between the double lever 20 and the drawing-in roller 9 and has a motor drive 24 which is independent of the main drive 15.

Zur Übertragung der Grundfrottierbewegung auf die Einziehwalze 9 ist, wie allgemein bei Webmaschinen der im Oberbegriff genannten Gattung bekannt, zwischen dem Doppelhebel 20 und der Einziehwalze 9 wenigstens eine Koppel 25, 25a vorzusehen.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Einordnung der Florhöhenverstelleinrichtung 23 zwischen dem Doppelhebel 20 und der Einziehwalze 9 fungiert die Florhöhenverstelleinrichtung 23 als Bindeglied zur Übertragung einer Grundfrottierbewegung von dem Frottierexzenter 16 mit Doppelhebel 20 auf die Einziehwalze 9.
Ein Ende der jeweiligen Koppel 25, 25a ist in der Florhöhenverstelleinrichtung in voneinander abweichenden Anordnungsebenen angelenkt.
Das andere Ende der einen Koppel 25 ist am Doppelhebel 20 in einer die Grundfrottierbewegung bestimmenden Anlenkstelle befestigt.
Diese Anlenkstelle kann z.B. in einer Längsführung 20a des Doppelhebels 20 liegen.
Durch Verschieben der Anlenkstelle innerhalb der Längsführung 20a sind in bekannter Weise die unterschiedlichsten Grundfrottierbewegungen festlegbar.
Das andere Ende der anderen Koppel 25a ist an einem mit der Einziehwalze 9 fest verbundenen Hebelarm 26 angelenkt.
To transfer the terry toweling movement to the drawing-in roller 9, as is generally known in weaving machines of the type mentioned in the preamble, at least one coupling 25, 25a must be provided between the double lever 20 and the drawing-in roller 9.
With the inventive arrangement of the pile height adjustment device 23 between the double lever 20 and the drawing-in roller 9, the pile height adjustment device 23 acts as a link for transmitting a basic terry movement from the terry cam 16 with a double lever 20 to the drawing-in roller 9.
One end of the respective coupling 25, 25a is articulated in the pile height adjustment device in mutually different arrangement planes.
The other end of the one coupling 25 is fastened to the double lever 20 in an articulation point which determines the basic terry movement.
This articulation point can lie, for example, in a longitudinal guide 20a of the double lever 20.
By moving the articulation point within the longitudinal guide 20a, a wide variety of basic terry movements can be defined in a known manner.
The other end of the other coupling 25a is articulated on a lever arm 26 which is firmly connected to the drawing-in roller 9.

Figur 2 zeigt die erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Florhöhenverstelleinrichtung 23, die aus einer Getriebeeinheit und aus einem mit der Getriebeeinheit in Verbindung stehenden Antrieb 24 besteht.
Die Getriebeeinheit wiederum wird aus einer Kombination eines ersten Teilgetriebes 27a mit einem zweiten Teilgetriebe 27b gebildet.
Das erste Teilgetriebe 27a besteht aus einem mit der Ankerwelle 24a eines elektromotorischen Antriebes 24 verbundenen Antriebsritzel 28 und aus einem auf einer gemeinsamen Getriebewelle 30 drehfest angeordneten Zahnrad 29, das mit dem Ritzel 28 in Eingriff steht.
FIG. 2 shows the pile height adjustment device 23 designed according to the invention, which consists of a gear unit and a drive 24 connected to the gear unit.
The gear unit in turn is a combination of a first Sub-transmission 27a formed with a second sub-transmission 27b.
The first sub-transmission 27a consists of a drive pinion 28 connected to the armature shaft 24a of an electromotive drive 24 and of a gear 29 which is arranged on a common transmission shaft 30 in a rotationally fixed manner and which meshes with the pinion 28.

Das zweite Teilgetriebe 27b besteht aus einem drehfest mit der gemeinsamen Getriebewelle 30 verbundenen Antriebsritzel 31 und aus einem mit dem Antriebsritzel 31 in Eingriff stehendem Zahnsektorstück 32, das mit wenigstens einer hebelartig ausgebildeten Lagerplatte 33 über einen ersten Verbindungsbolzen 34 verbunden ist. Im vorliegenden Beispiel sind zwei identisch ausgebildete Lagerplatten 33 vorgesehen, die drehbeweglich und voneinander beabstandet um die Mittenachse 30a der Getriebewelle 30 gelagert sind.
Das Zahnsektorstück 32 ist in diesem Falle zwischen den beiden Lagerplatten 33 eingebunden.
The second sub-transmission 27b consists of a drive pinion 31 which is connected to the common transmission shaft 30 in a rotationally fixed manner and of a toothed sector piece 32 which is in engagement with the drive pinion 31 and which is connected to at least one lever-shaped bearing plate 33 via a first connecting bolt 34. In the present example, two identically designed bearing plates 33 are provided, which are rotatably mounted and spaced apart from one another about the central axis 30a of the transmission shaft 30.
The tooth sector piece 32 is in this case integrated between the two bearing plates 33.

Beabstandet zu dem ersten Verbindungsbolzen 34 am Zahnsektorstück 32 ist ein zweiter Verbindungsbolzen 35 vorgesehen.
An jedem der Verbindungsbolzen 34, 35 ist eine der Koppeln 25, 25a angelenkt.
Der Antrieb 24 steht über eine Steuerleitung 36 mit einer elektronischen Steuerung 37 in Verbindung, die auf der Grundlage eines über das Display 38 wählbaren Florhöhe den Antrieb 24 steuert.
Anstelle eines elektromotorischen Antriebes kann z.B. ein pneumatischer oder hydraulischer Antrieb vorgesehen sein.
A second connecting pin 35 is provided spaced apart from the first connecting pin 34 on the tooth sector piece 32.
One of the couplers 25, 25a is articulated on each of the connecting bolts 34, 35.
The drive 24 is connected via a control line 36 to an electronic control 37 which controls the drive 24 on the basis of a pile height selectable via the display 38.
Instead of an electric motor drive, for example, a pneumatic or hydraulic drive can be provided.
