Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device on a Rapier weaving machine to detect a faulty one Weft thread entry according to the generic term of Claim 1.
  • a device on a Rapier weaving machine to detect a faulty one Weft thread entry according to the generic term of Claim 1.
  • Such a device is known from CH-A-550 879.
  • Rapier weaving machines are particularly suitable for Production of a fabric comprising a large number different weft threads.
  • the individual weft threads are held by a thread mat and depending on Required presented to a gripper head, which the Grips weft and into the open shed registers.
  • a thread feeder device has Example eight, sixteen, or thirty-two threads on which each carry a weft. Through this Density of weft threads happens that a weft thread to be entered is adjacent to one arranged weft thread and this traveling, so that two or more at the same time Weft threads are entered in the shed. On such incorrect entry is also favored by that qualitatively with a rapier weaving machine different yarns can be woven into one fabric. So the fabric can be a thick, fibrous woolen yarn at the same time have a fine, smooth filament yarn.
  • Rapier weaving machine an economically advantageous Device for detecting a faulty one Propose weft entry.
  • the invention is achieved in particular by a Device on a rapier weaving machine for recognition an incorrect weft entry, which at least comprises two sensors for detecting a weft thread, sensors being arranged such that the first Sensor a weft thread that is between the submitted thread feeder and the hook head runs, monitors, and that the second sensor is arranged in this way is that an undesirably registered Weft thread that is essentially in between a basic position and the Gripper head runs, detectable by the second sensor is.
  • One advantage of the device according to the invention is that to see that with only two sensors a faulty one Weft thread entry recognizable on a rapier weaving machine is, the rapier weaving machine for any Number of different weft threads can be designed.
  • This device requires few components in particular also a few downstream of the sensors electronic evaluation devices, what a enables cost-effective execution.
  • the two sensor elements with the course of the weft threads no or only small thread deflection angles to design, so that an optimal thread running geometry is achievable.
  • a rapier weaving machine 1 shows a schematic view of a Rapier weaving machine 1, which uses a weft thread 8c a gripper 2 in the entry direction 3 in a shed registers.
  • a rapier weaving machine 1 has a plurality of thread feeders 7a, 7b, 7c, each one Lead weft 8a, 8b, 8c, and one each Present the weft 8c to the looper 2.
  • the thread feeder 7c in Direction of movement 9 lowered so that it is in a thread position 7c present position presents the weft 8c to the rapier head 2, which Gripper head 2 detects the weft 8c and in Entry direction 3 conveyed through the shed.

  • the two sensors 5a, 5b are in a common sensor housing arranged one above the other.
  • Fig. 1b shows an incorrect weft insertion.
  • a Rapier weaving machine 1 allows weft threads 8a, 8b, 8c different thread quality and thread type to be entered. In particular, it can happen that adjacent weft threads due to e.g. protruding fibers or very light weight together impose. The one moving in the entry direction 3 Gripper head 2 grips the outside of the shed weft thread 8c. Another, unintentionally carried weft 8b is either gripped by the weft 8c or directly by the hook 2 and also entered in the open shed. This unintentionally carried weft 8b causes a web error, which is why this condition is considered an incorrect entry must be recognized.
  • the exemplary embodiment is the weft thread 8c to be entered submitted by the thread feeder 7c and runs between the Thread feeder 7c and the hook head 2. In this position the weft 8c is detected by the sensor 5b.
  • the unintentionally carried weft 8b runs between the one in a basic position Thread feeder 7b and the hook head 2 in one stretched alignment.
  • the sensor 5a is like this ordered that the unintentionally taken away Weft 8b runs directly in front of sensor 5a, see above that the unintentionally carried weft 8b from Sensor 5a is detectable. Another, yourself in one The basic position of the thread feeder 7a is shown, the weft 8a between the Thread feeder 7a and the thread clamp 6 runs.
  • a rapier weaving machine usually has a large number from e.g. 2, 4, 8, 16 or even 32 individual thread feeders 7a, 7b, 7c.
  • the sensor element 5a is such arranged that an accidentally taken away Weft 8b, which is always in between essentially in a basic position Thread feeder 7a, 7b and the hook head 2 runs, is detectable.
  • the sensor 5a is arranged in such a way that each of the weft threads 8b, which is between one of the for Example 32 is in the home position Thread feeders 7a, 7b, 7c and the hook head 2 run should be detectable. So one is enough Sensor 5a around all weft threads 8a, 8b, 8c with respect to one unintentionally carried weft 8b monitor.
  • 1c shows the intended, simultaneous entry of two weft threads 8b, 8c. It can be targeted with one two or more weft threads are woven, by a gripper 2 simultaneously two weft threads 8b, 8c are presented by thread feeders 7b, 7c, which both from the same gripper 2 in the open shed be entered. Even with this weaving process an unintentionally carried weft 8a detect easily by the sensor 5a.
