Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for forming first and second pile heights during weaving of terry cloth on weaving machines, the pile height formation by a so-called Tissue shifting takes place.
  • a terry loom for terry fabric production with a rotating is known stored fabric feed roller, with a reed that comes in recurring Movement rhythm weft partial stops and one full weft executes, with a pile height forming device, consisting of one in its movement lockable coupling gear, the movement of which with the main drive of the Weaving machine is derived from the eccentric drive and is connected via coupling elements the fabric feed roller for displacing the stop edge of the fabric relative to the latter Basic position is transferred.
  • the previously known terry weaving machine is only able, in addition to a smooth fabric to form a pile height.
  • the invention has for its object in a weaving machine for the production of Terry fabrics in addition to a first pile height at least a second pile height form, the height of which is different from the first pile height, and the formation of the Pile heights are based on the tissue shift.
  • the stop edge of the weaving machine over the fabric feed roller guided and in relatively good frictional connection with it between executing the first of partial weft stops and a full weft stop existing web operations oscillating relative to a length a is moved back and forth to the basic position of the stop edge.
  • the sequence of movements the fabric feed roller is connected to the main drive of the weaving machine by a first one connected coupling gear realized.
  • a second pile height is formed in the same or in a different terry fabric to be produced by transferring the motion sequence of a second coupling gear to the fabric drawing roller by superimposing the motion sequence of the first coupling gear in such a way that between the execution of two partial weft stops and a full weft stop of the reed, the weaving edge is moved back and forth relative to its basic position over a second predetermined length b. Due to the fact that the length amount a is greater than the length amount b, it is inevitable that the first coupling gear realizes a greater pile height than the second coupling gear. The reason for such a result lies, according to the invention, in the definition of the articulation points of the couplings relative to the relevant axis of rotation within a coupling member, on which both coupling gears act.
  • the length a is reduced to the length b after the second coupling gear has been switched on, in accordance with the invention in that the first axis of the coupling element, which is connected to a coupling element of the second coupling gear in a rotationally fixed manner, rotates with a Lever is connected, at the free end of the tab of the coupling member is rotatably mounted.
  • both coupling gearboxes are stored in the weaving machine control
  • the weaving machine realizes a sample program blocked by means known per se so-called smooth weaving. In the manufacture of terry towels are within this Process borders woven.
  • the fabric pull-in roller is operatively connected to a first pile height forming device consisting of a coupling mechanism that can be blocked in its movement, the movement of which is derived from an eccentric drive that is operatively connected to the main drive of the weaving machine, that the fabric feed roller touches the stop edge of the fabric oscillates back and forth relative to the basic position in accordance with the movement sequence of the terry eccentric and that a reed carries out partial weft stops and a full weft stop in synchronization with the tissue displacement.
  • the weaving machine is able to produce terry fabrics with only one pile height in addition to plain fabrics. This is where the invention according to claim 8 comes in.
  • a second pile height forming device with a Has coupling gear the sequence of movements of a second with the main drive the weaving machine is derived from the terry eccentric drive and its Movement in turn on the coupling gear of the first pile height forming device and connecting the coupling gear of the second pile height forming device to one another Coupling member is transferred such that the fabric feed roller when the first and second coupling gear a relatively small displacement of the stop edge of the Fabric runs than it can execute the first coupling gear.
  • the two coupling gears are used common coupling link from a between the fabric feed roller and the Eccentric drives arranged in a machine-fixed manner and rotatably mounted axis that with a coupling element of the second coupling gear is in a rotationally fixed connection, also from an axially spaced from the axis and rotatably with this axis connected lever arm, on the radially spaced from the central axis of the aforementioned Axially pivotably engages a tab that connects the first coupling gear with the Fabric drawing roller connects.
  • the drive for executing a so-called Fabric displacement derived from the main drive shaft of the loom.
  • a so-called terry cloth eccentric is used for this running circumferential contour scanned and on a suitable for moving the tissue Coupling gear is transmitted.
  • the solution according to the invention consists of a first coupling gear 4 and a second coupling gear 11, each with a blocking device 17, 17a, 19 and 18, 18a, 20 which can be controlled by means of the control 22 and the valves 23 and 24.
  • the first coupling gear 4 consists of a coupling element 6 pivotally mounted about the machine-fixed axis 31 in the form of an angle lever, the lever arm located above the eccentric 5, spaced apart from the axis 31, carries a scanning roller 32 which is connected to the peripheral surface 5a of the eccentric 5 by an outdoors one End of the aforementioned lever arm acting tension spring 6b is operatively connected.
  • the vertically extending lever arm of the angle lever 6 has a plurality of articulation points 6c located on a circular arc, in which one end of the coupling element 7 can be articulated.
  • Each articulation point 6c defines a first pile height to be realized or a first length dimension a.
  • the other end of the coupling element 7 is connected to an articulation point 7a of the tab 16d.
  • the articulation point 7a lies approximately in the middle of the tab.
  • the tab 16d is part of the machine-fixed coupling member 16. Below the articulation point 7a, the tab 16d is fork-shaped, as can best be seen in FIG.
  • the fork is penetrated by an axis 16c, which is received in a rotationally fixed manner in the free end of the lever 16b and which supports the bracket 16d so that it can pivot.
  • the other free end of the lever 16b is rotatably received by a machine-fixed but rotatably mounted axis 16a.
  • the axis 16a carries a coupling element 15 which is connected to the latter in a rotationally fixed manner, at the end of which the coupling element 14 of the second coupling gear 11 engages.
  • the further connections within the second coupling gear are shown in the description below.
  • the tab 16d has a further articulation point 8a, in which the Coupling element 8 is articulated with one end.
  • the other end of the coupling element 8 is in a slot-shaped articulation 9a of the non-rotatable with the fabric feed roller 1 connected coupling element 9 articulated. This is the outgoing from the eccentric 5 and Movement sequence of the coupling gear 4 transmitted to the fabric feed roller 1 Are defined.
  • the sequence of movements of the coupling mechanism 11 added to the coupling mechanism 4 according to the invention is derived from a terry cam 12, which in turn is operatively connected to the main drive of the weaving machine, not shown here.
  • a coupling element 13 loaded with the tension spring 13b is, like the coupling element 6, pivotably mounted on the common axis 31.
  • the eccentric movement is also transmitted here by means of a scanning roller 33 to the coupling element 13, the oscillating pivoting movement of which acts on the coupling element 16 via the coupling elements 14 and 15 and from there on the coupling roller 8 via the coupling elements 8, 9.
  • Each coupling gear 4, 11 is functionally equipped with a blocking device in the form of a blocking lever 17 or 18 pivotably mounted at 17a or 18a, each lever 17, 18 being operatively connected to a piston-cylinder unit 19 or 20.
  • a blocking device in the form of a blocking lever 17 or 18 pivotably mounted at 17a or 18a, each lever 17, 18 being operatively connected to a piston-cylinder unit 19 or 20.
  • the units 19, 20 are pressurized on the piston rod side via a control valve 23 or 24.
  • a hook-like recess of the blocking lever 17, 18 strikes the abutment 6a or 13a of the coupling element 6 or 13.
  • the coupling elements 6, 13 are unlocked when the units are depressurized 19, 20, 21 by means of the tension springs 17b or respectively acting on the coupling elements 6 or 13 18b.
  • the terry formation devices 4, 11 are equipped with a pneumatic safety circuit, consisting of an additional piston-cylinder unit 21, which is operatively connected to the blocking lever 18.
  • a pressure line 28 is integrated between the unit 19 and the valve 23, which leads to the additional unit 21.
  • the weaving machine carries out a so-called smooth weaving (border weaving). If only the coupling gear 4 is active, ie the coupling gear 11 is blocked, the movement of the terry eccentric 5 transmits its movement to the tab 16d by means of the coupling elements 6, 7.
  • the tab 16d pivots about the central axis 16c 'of the axis 16c and transfers the pivoting movement by means of the coupling elements 8 and 9 to the fabric pull-in roller 1.
  • the fabric draw-in roller 1 then oscillates the fabric stop edge 10a of the fabric 10 by the length a.
  • the weft threads entered and tied in the shed 33 are then beaten by a full weft stop of the reed 2 and the warp threads of the pile chain are set up as the pile height by the amount a. If the second pile height is to be realized in a fabric that is smaller than the pile height a due to the method, the weaving process is activated via the control 22, the second coupling gear 11.
  • the oscillating motion transmitted from the terry cam 12 to the coupling element 13, via the coupling elements 14 and 15 to the axis 16 of the coupling element leads to the fact that the lever 16b, which is non-rotatably connected to the axis 16a, the central axis 16c 'of the axis 16c which supports the tab 16d pivoted in the direction of the double arrow 34 and thereby the articulation point 8a and thus the position of the coupling element 8 articulated on the tab 16d is shifted in the direction of the arrow 35.
  • the displacement then has the effect that the tissue stop edge, starting from its basic position, is only shifted in an oscillating manner by the length dimension b.
  • the result is a second pile height, which corresponds approximately to the height dimension b.
