The shed is controlled so that it closes gradually across the width with the angular rotation of the loom, beginning at the weft entry point and ending at the exit. <??>Preferred Features: Control of the shed extends over 60 degrees rotation of the main loom drive shaft, starting at 290 degrees and ending at 350 degrees .

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Ansteuerung von Betätigungseinrichtungen einer mit einer Webmaschine kombinierten Jacquardeinrichtung ohne Messer und Messerantriebe in Abhängigkeit vom Drehwinkel der Webmaschinen-Hauptwelle nach den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a method for controlling actuators of a combined with a loom Jacquardeinrichtung without knives and Knife drives depending on the angle of rotation of the loom main shaft after the Features of the preamble of claim 1.

Webmaschinen mit fluidischem Schussfadeneintrag zur Herstellung eines Gewebes mit vorbestimmter Musterung werden in Kombination mit einer Jacquardvorrichtung als Fachbildevorrichtung betrieben.
Jacquardvorrichtungen moderner Bauart besitzen eine Vielzahl elektrisch ansteuerbarer Betätigungseinrichtungen, zum Beispiel elektromotorisch betriebene Betätigungseinrichtungen. Dabei wird auf die Messer und Messerantriebe verzichtet. Jeder Kettfaden der Webkette einer Webmaschine ist dabei über Verbindungsmittel, d.h. über eine sogenannte Harnisch-Schnur mit Harnischlitze und über Rückzugsmittel von einer der Betätigungseinrichtungen so geführt, dass die betreffenden Kettfäden zur Ausbildung eines Webfaches gleichzeitig aus einer ersten Position in eine zweite Position und umgekehrt vertikal bewegt werden.
Weft insertion fluid looms for producing a fabric having a predetermined pattern are operated in combination with a jacquard device as a shed forming device.
Jacquard devices modern design have a variety of electrically controllable controls, such as electric motor operated controls. This dispenses with the knives and knife drives. Each warp thread of the weaving loom of a weaving machine is via connecting means, ie via a so-called harness cord with Harnischlitze and retreat of one of the controls so guided that the respective warp threads for forming a shed simultaneously from a first position to a second position and vice versa vertically to be moved.

Zur gesteuerten Bewegung der Kettfäden ist eine elektronische Steuervorrichtung vorgesehen, die jede Betätigungseinrichtung nach einem vorgewählten Programm signalübertragend steuert.For controlled movement of the warp threads is an electronic control device provided each actuator according to a preselected program signal transmitting controls.

Eine Webmaschine mit einer solchen Jacquardvorrichtung ist z.B. aus der EP 0 353 005 B1 bekannt.A loom with such a jacquard device is e.g. from the EP 0 353 005 B1.

Der Gegenstand der vorbekannten EP 0 353 005 B1 unterscheidet nicht, ob die Jacquardvorrichtung mit einer Webmaschine mit fluidischen Schussfadeneintragsmitteln oder mit mechanischen Schussfadeneintragsmitteln betrieben wird.The subject matter of the previously known EP 0 353 005 B1 does not distinguish whether the Jacquard device with a weaving machine with fluidic weft insertion means or operated with mechanical weft insertion means.

Weil ein solcher Unterschied nicht vorgenommen ist, geht der Fachmann davon aus, dass auch der Ausbildung des Webfaches auf den vorgenannten Webmaschinen, bei z.B. identisch zu webenden Artikel ein identisches Fachbewegungsprofil, im Hinblick auf die Webbreite, zugrunde liegt. Hier setzt die Erfindung an.Because such a difference is not made, the skilled person will assume that also the formation of the shed on the aforementioned looms, e.g. identical to weaving article an identical professional movement profile, in terms of Web width, underlying. This is where the invention starts.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren zur drehwinkelabhängigen Ansteuerung der Betätigungseinrichtungen einer mit einer Webmaschine mit fluidischen Schussfadeneintragsmitteln kombinierten Jacquardvorrichtung ohne Messer und Messerantriebe zu schaffen, womit, im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik, die Zeitdauer zum Offenhalten des sogenannten Schussfadeneintragfensters vergrößert wird.It is an object of the invention to provide a method for rotational angle-dependent control of Actuators one with a loom with fluidic Weft applicators combined jacquard device without knife and To provide knife drives, which, compared to the prior art, the duration is increased to keep open the so-called weft insertion window.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.
Danach werden die Betätigungseinrichtungen der z.B. mit einer Luftdüsenwebmaschine, also einer Webmaschine mit fluidischen Schussfadeneintragsmitteln, kombinierten Jacquardvorrichtung nach dem Eintragen des Schussfadens in das geöffnete Webfach derart signalübertragend angesteuert, dass, über die Webbreite der Webmaschine gesehen, der Fachschluss durch jeden einzelnen Kettfaden kontinuierlich in Abhängigkeit vom Drehwinkel der Hauptwelle der Webmaschine versetzt erfolgt. Mit anderen Worten, der Fachschluss der einzelnen Kettfäden wird von der Seite des Schussfadeneintrags in das geöffnete Webfach bis zu der Seite des Webfaches, an welcher der Schussfaden aus dem Webfach austritt, kontinuierlich verschoben.
Ausgangsseitig des Webfaches erfolgt der Fachschluss demnach zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt, der identisch ist mit einem größeren Drehwinkel der Hauptantriebswelle, als eingangsseitig des Webfaches. Der frühere eingangsseitige Zeitpunkt ist identisch mit einem vergleichsweise kleineren Drehwinkel der Hauptantriebswelle. Damit steht eine um etwa 25 % größere Zeitspanne zur Verfügung, um den eingetragenen Schussfaden hinreichend einem Streckvorgang bis zum Beginn des Fachschließens zu unterziehen.
The object is achieved by the features of independent claim 1.
Thereafter, the actuators of the example with an air jet loom, so a loom with fluid weft insertion, combined jacquard device after entering the weft thread in the open shed signal-driven so controlled that, seen on the weaving width of the weaving machine, the closure by each warp continuously in dependence offset from the rotation angle of the main shaft of the loom. In other words, the shed of the individual warps is continuously shifted from the side of the weft insertion into the opened shed to the side of the shed at which the weft emerges from the shed.
On the output side of the shed, the shed is therefore at a later time, which is identical to a larger angle of rotation of the main drive shaft, as the input side of the shed. The earlier input-side time is identical to a comparatively smaller angle of rotation of the main drive shaft. This provides an approximately 25% longer time available to sufficiently subject the inserted weft thread to a stretching operation until the beginning of the shed closing.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ist der Vorteil eines vergrößerten Zeitintervalles für einen schonenden Schussfadentransport und eine verbesserte Streckwirkung auf den Schussfaden und im Zusammenhang damit eine verbesserte Gewebequalität verbunden.With the method according to the invention is the advantage of an increased time interval for a gentle weft transport and an improved stretching effect on the Weft and associated therewith an improved fabric quality.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung erfolgt das kontinuierliche Drehwinkelversetzen innerhalb eines Drehwinkelbereiches der Webmaschinen-Hauptwelle von weniger als 100 Drehwinkelgraden, und zwar vorzugsweise in einem Bereich von etwa 60 Drehwinkelgraden.
Der Beginn der drehwinkelabhängigen Ansteuerung der Betätigungseinrichtungen zum Fachschluss liegt schussfadeneintragseitig des Webfaches bei einem Drehwinkel von etwa 290 Drehwinkelgraden, womit ein früher Fadenstart ermöglicht wird. Das Ende dieser Ansteuerung liegt schussfadenauszugseitig des Webfaches bei einem Drehwinkel von etwa 350 Drehwinkelgraden, womit die Streckphase maximal verlängert wird.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the continuous rotation angle offset takes place within a rotation angle range of the loom main shaft of less than 100 degrees of rotation, and preferably in a range of about 60 degrees of rotation.
The beginning of the rotation angle-dependent control of the actuation devices to the closure is weft insertion side of the shed at a rotation angle of about 290 degrees of rotation, whereby an early thread start is possible. The end of this control is weft thread extraction side of the shed at a rotation angle of about 350 degrees of rotation, whereby the stretching phase is maximally extended.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment.
