Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a control device for a slotted leno heald weave mechanism, to form selvedges and split selvedges of fabrics in looms.
  • the slotted leno heald weave is commonly carried out in correspondence of the selvedges and/or split selvedges, at the sides of the fabric being formed.
  • slotted leno heald weave mechanisms substantially consisting of three sliders - a fixed one and two movable ones - carrying as many slotted healds to let the warp yarns through.
  • the movable sliders have to perform a straightaway reciprocating motion, so as to draw along the respective healds with the warp yarns therein, and form, together with the weft yarn, the typical slotted leno heald weave.
  • slotted leno heald weave The actual operation of the slotted leno heald weave shall not be described herein, as it is well known in this technical field, but a study shall be made on the requirements which the slotted leno heald weave mechanism has to satisfy and, in particular, on the device to control said mechanism.
  • the two sliders to which the slotted healds are connected have to perform a straightaway motion, in opposite directions, along axes substantially orthogonal to the weaving plane.
  • slotted leno heald weave mechanism and thus various pairs of sliders, on the same loom.
  • slotted leno heald weave can be carried out either at the weft yarn outlet end, both for the selvedge and for the split selvedge, or at the weft yarn inlet end, or even half way along the shed if the fabric is subsequently split in two parts.
  • the opening and closing of the shed in correspondence of said mechanisms will have to be synchronized with the passage of the weft yarn, so that said yarn may be tied and locked as promptly as possible, and may thus be prevented from moving or accidentally sliding out.
  • the closing of the shed takes place close to the drawing gripper while this latter is still not fully out of the shed, so as to promptly block the weft yarn, while on the yarn inlet side, and eventually in the middle, the warp shed may be closed only after full insertion of the weft yarn. It can thus be understood why it is necessary to shift the working phases of the different leno heald weave mechanisms.
  • the Italian Patent No. 1.185.389 in the name of the Applicant, or the EP-B1-393.467, in the name of SOMET S.p.A., illustrate different solutions adopted on devices to control the leno heald weave mechanism.
  • a cam synchronized with the working motion of the loom controls the movement of a cord sliding horizontally above the loom and connected, by means of secondary cords, to pairs of sliders forming part of corresponding mechanisms distributed along the loom width.
  • the secondary cords cause the reciprocating motion of said pairs of sliders in opposition to return springs.
  • leno heald weave mechanisms have been proposed, which are individually controlled by electric motors.
  • the International Patent publication WO96/38608 in the name of PICANOL N.V., discloses a device to control a leno heald weave mechanism, wherein an electric motor operates a double link rod-crank system which allows to obtain the required reciprocating motion of the two sliders.
  • each device can be individually controlled by restoring, with an "electrical axis", the synchronism between the motion of the electric motors and the motion of the loom.
  • the link rod-crank mechanism is itself labile, as it must forcedly be guided in order to perform the required straightaway motion.
  • the sliders to which the ends of the cranks are connected are guided in their straightaway reciprocating motion by guide elements which make the mechanism more complex and produce undesired sliding frictions. Such frictions, besides causing more wear to the sliders, involve the requirement to use a more powerful motor.
  • the motor rotation can be continuous; it is however necessary to support, with suitable supports, the crankshaft which would otherwise be overhanging on the motor shaft.
  • BE 1007897A3 discloses a drive mechanism transferring the motion from a drive shaft continuously rotating in the same direction, to reciprocating weave healds.
  • the drive mechanism consist of a linkage including two turning pairs couplings and one sliding pair coupling.
  • the object of the present invention is to fully overcome the above drawbacks, by supplying a device to control the slotted leno heald weave mechanism - to form selvedges and split selvedges of fabrics in looms - which can be easily and indipendently adjusted and operated, which involves low working frictions, which covers a reduced space towards the loom depth, and which is of simple and reliable structure.
  • control device is clearly illustrated in figs. 2A and 2B, wherein it is shown combined with the respective slotted leno heald weave mechanism.
  • a support plate S carrying:
  • the motor M preferably consists of an electric step-by-step motor which controls the drive mechanism 1. Said mechanism reproduces an exact straight-line guide of the conventional type.
  • the mechanism 1 is preferably that shown in detail in figs. 3A and 3B.
  • a casing 11, on which the motor M is mounted, houses the elements forming the exact straight-line guide.
  • a rotor 12, mounted rotating on a bearing 13, is connected to the driving shaft 14 of the electric motor M.
  • a planetary gear 15 is mounted rotating on the rotor 12 by way of a supporting spindle 15a positioned parallel to, but eccentric in respect of the rotation axis of the shaft 14.
  • the gear 15 comprises an outer toothing 16 meshing with an internal gear 17, fixed to or formed in one piece with the casing 11.
  • Said drive mechanism 1 allows to change the rotary motion of the driving shaft 14 into a straightaway reciprocating motion of the pin 18a - as shown in figs. 4A and 4B - which follows a perfectly sinusoidal law in time, if the rotation of the electric motor M is continuous and constant, but which may follow different motion laws by suitably operating the electric motor M.
  • This mechanism 1 is to be able to obtain a straightaway reciprocating motion without the help of guide elements which inevitably produce sliding frictions, but simply making use of gearings which keep an overall high driving efficiency, thereby achieving a first object of the present invention.
  • the reciprocating motion system 2 is meant to transmit the reciprocating straightaway motion of the pin 18a onto two sliders C1 and C2.
  • the system 2 comprises a pair of idle pulleys P1 and P2 (with their axis fixed onto the casing 11), around which winds an endless belt 21.
  • the upper ends of the two sliders C1 and C2 are respectively blocked on the two opposite lengths of the belt 21.
  • the end of one of the two sliders - for instance, the end of the slider C1 - extends into a lateral projection, so as to form a seat 22 into which is inserted the head of the pin 18a.
  • the device of the present invention allows a coplanar arrangement of the two sliders C1 and C2, which leads to a drastic reduction in size towards the loom depth, thereby accomplishing another important object of the present invention.
  • control device is easy to assemble and disassemble, to the full advantage of its maintenance.
  • the drive mechanism 1, together with the reciprocating motion system 2 are mounted on the support plate S, which is in turn fixed onto the cross member T by means of dog spikes D.
  • Said dog spikes D are screwed onto the support plate S, so as to facilitate their removal and, thus, the disassembly of the whole device from the cross member T.
  • a position sensor (not shown) detects the angular position of the driving shaft 14, timing it with the working of the loom.
  • the operator may shift at will the working phase of the motor M, in respect of the motion of the loom, by manually acting onto a suitable control (for instance a manually controlled electronic encoder) positioned close to the loom; the operator thereby anticipates or delays the final step of the slotted leno heald weave, so as to visually and empirically preset the optimal working of the device.
  • a suitable control for instance a manually controlled electronic encoder
  • the electronic control of the electric step-by-step motor M also allows to obtain time motion laws for the sliders C1 and C2, which are not simply sinusoidal but are apt to advantageously provide alternate idle and active steps.
