Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cross member for a frame of a weaving machine heald as well as a crosspiece obtained by said process, this cross member comprising at least one support profile and an integral heald rod said profile along a junction zone.
  • the heald frames are well known in the textile industry and mainly used in weaving machines.
  • Each heald frame constitutes a rectangular structure arranged to carry weaving healds.
  • this rectangular structure conventionally comprises an upper cross member formed a support profile secured to an upper heald rod, a cross member lower formed of a support profile secured to a lower rod and two lateral uprights assembled at the ends of the crosspieces to form said frame.
  • the main function of support profiles is to provide rigidity which is missing from the heald rods and in a known manner comprise a section higher than that of the rods.
  • the heald rods must be linear and parallel between them with an accuracy of about + or - 0.3 mm.
  • each stringer weaving consists of a metal strip provided at its ends with a loop for mounting on the heald rods with a set of operation, and in the center of an eyelet to carry and guide a chain wire.
  • weaving heddles are distributed, for example one in two, on two heald frames.
  • the heddle frames are set in alternating vertical movement by a adapted drive mechanism. For example for a speed of 1200 shots per minute, each heald frame is animated at a speed of 600 periods per minute.
  • the constant increase in weaving speeds has revealed behaviors mechanical problems and new technical problems both in terms of smooth as smooth weaving.
  • the support profiles are mainly made of alloy aluminum and heald rods are usually made of steel stainless steel and attached to the support profiles by means of rivets in order to obtain a rigid assembly.
  • the use of aluminum alloy support profiles obtained by extrusion or spinning is an interesting solution because it allows produce at low cost support profiles of reduced weight having a very good straightness.
  • any defect in straightness can be easily corrected by a mechanical dressing operation which is possible thanks to the characteristics specific mechanics of metal alloys.
  • This straightness then allows use the aluminum support profile as a reference base for fixing by riveting the heald rod making it straight. Indeed, this rail rod is not necessarily linear in the free state due to its low rigidity.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a method of manufacturing a cross member for a weaving machine heald frame as well as a cross member obtained by this process, making it possible to produce at low cost and without waste cross member combining characteristics of lightness and great rigidity, and whose boom rail is placed on the support profile in a precise position perfectly linear, this position being controlled and reproducible.
  • the invention relates to a manufacturing process of the kind indicated in preamble, characterized in that a rigid template is used comprising at least a first rectilinear groove having a width substantially equal to that of the heald rod, place the heald rod in said groove to make it straight, we put a bead of glue in the junction area, we position predetermined and unconstrained manner said support profile on said template and on the heald rod by crushing said bead of glue and the assembly is maintained support profile and rod holder integral with said template at least during the setting time of said glue.
  • a rigid template comprising at least a first rectilinear groove having a width substantially equal to that of the heald rod, place the heald rod in said groove to make it straight, we put a bead of glue in the junction area, we position predetermined and unconstrained manner said support profile on said template and on the heald rod by crushing said bead of glue and the assembly is maintained support profile and rod holder integral with said template at least during the setting time of said glue.
  • the template and the support profile include complementary forms of fitting arranged to precisely position the support profile with respect to the heald rod.
  • the template has a second groove, at least the ends of which are straight and parallel to the first groove, this second groove being arranged to receive said substantially rectangular section of the support profile.
  • the support profile can be non-rectilinear and the second groove of the template can have a width greater than the total width of the rectangular section of the support profile.
  • positioning members can be used arranged to be mounted at the ends of the support profile, these positioning having a width substantially equal to that of the ends of the second groove.
  • a number n of templates each template being superimposed on the previous one after having set up the rail, the adhesive bead and the corresponding support profile, and maintains the set n support profiles and n rods integral with the n overlapping templates at least during the setting time of the glue.
  • the invention also relates to a cross member of the kind indicated in preamble, characterized in that the support profile is rigid, in that the rod heald carrier is non-rigid and in that the heald rod is securely attached said support profile by gluing in a rectilinear position obtained by means a template arranged to hold said heald rod relative to said profile of support in this rectilinear position at least during the setting time of said glue.
  • the support profile can be a non-straight profile, made of materials composites and obtained by a process chosen from the group comprising at least extrusion, pultrusion.
  • This support profile may have a substantially rectangular section extended by a straight section intended to receive the heald rod. He can too have a substantially rectangular section in which is formed a longitudinal groove intended to receive the heald rod.
  • This rail rod may be metallic and have a section chosen from the group comprising at minus a T shape, a J shape
  • the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cross member 2, 2 'for heald frame 1 of the weaving machine and a cross member 2, 2' obtained by this process.
  • FIG. 1 An example of a traditional heald frame 1 for a weaving machine is shown in the Figure 1. It comprises, in known manner, two cross members 2 substantially parallel laterally assembled by two 2 "uprights. Each cross member 2 is formed of a support profile 3 and a heald rod 4.
  • the heald rods 4 have for function of carrying and guiding a set of weaving heddles 5, only two of which are represented by their ends 50 in the form of a loop, respecting a set of operation J.
  • each weaving smooth 5 carries an eyelet 51 for the passage of a warp thread 6.
  • These weaving healds 5 are generally produced in a hardened metallic material, for example stainless steel, to resist mechanical stresses.
  • the heald rods 4 In order to guarantee this operating clearance J on all the length of the heald frame 1, the heald rods 4 must be perfectly linear and parallel to each other, respecting an accuracy of approximately + or - 0.3 mm.
  • the support profile 3 has a section substantially rectangular 30 extended by a cross section 31 adapted to receive on the heald rod 4 along a junction zone 40 formed by a flat surface.
  • This rod holder 4 can have a section in coated T 4a or in J 4b according to the shape of the loops 50 of the weaving heddles 5.
  • FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate an alternative embodiment of a cross member 2 ′, in which the support profile 3 'has a substantially rectangular section 30 in which is formed a longitudinal groove 33 adapted to receive the rod heald carrier 4 'along a junction zone 40' formed by at least two surfaces parallel planes.
  • the longitudinal groove 33 can be oriented parallel to the plane of the support profile 3 ', in accordance with the example illustrated, or perpendicularly according to the shape of the rod 4 '.
  • This 4 'heald rod can have a coated T section extended by a junction leg 4'a, in J turned 4'b or in Inverted T 4'c according to the shape of the loops 50 of the weaving healds 5.
  • the substantially rectangular section 30 of the support profile 3, 3 ' has a central recess 32 which has the advantage of reducing its mass and its cost material.
  • the template 7 and the support profile 3, 3 ' have complementary shapes socket allowing precise positioning of the support profile 3, 3 'by compared to the pole rail 4, 4 '.
  • the template 7 comprises a second groove 71 of which at least the ends are straight and parallel to the first groove 70.
  • This second groove 71 has a width greater than the total width of the substantially rectangular section 30 of the profile support 3, 3 '.
  • the shapes complementary nesting are formed by the positioning members 9 and the ends of the second groove 71. It is of course possible to provide other equivalent forms.
  • These positioning members 9 are constituted with reference to FIG. 3C of a plate 90 in the shape of a T, the leg of the T forming a male part capable of fitting together in the central recess 32 of the support profile 3, 3 'and the T bar having a width equal to that of the ends of the groove 71 of the template 7.
  • the method of manufacturing then includes a step in which the positioning 9 in the ends of the support profile 3, 3 '(see fig. 3C) before place said support section 3, 3 'in the template 7.
  • the templates 7 have a rear part wider than their front part forming respectively a female interlocking zone 72 and a male interlocking zone 73.
  • the rear part has two longitudinal edges 74 delimiting the zone female socket 72, the interval between these two longitudinal edges 74 corresponding to the width of the male nesting zone 73.
  • This manufacturing process therefore makes it possible to produce a cross member 2, 2 ′ in which the heald rod 4, 4 'is fixedly attached to the support profile 3, 3' by gluing in a rectilinear position obtained by means of the template 7 arranged to maintain this rod holder 4, 4 'relative to the support profile 3.3' in this position at least during the setting time of the glue.
  • This manufacturing process is particularly advantageous when using a profile support 3, 3 'which is made of a rigid material but which does not necessarily have a rectilinear geometry as well as a 4, 4 'heald rod which does not necessarily have a rectilinear geometry in the free state but which is made of a non-rigid material authorizing a straightening.
  • This difference in rigidity is obtained by the choice of materials but also by the differences in section, the section of the rod 4, 4 'being significantly lower than that of the support profile 3, 3'.
  • this rod heald holder 4, 4 ' which constitutes the functional part of the cross member 2, 2', is fixed in a rectilinear position imposed by the template 7.
  • the support profile 3, 3 is then assembled to this heald rod 4, 4 'without undergoing any significant deformation in the plan of said profile.
  • the heald rod 4, 4 ′ remains in its rectilinear position taking into account the large difference in rigidity between the support profile 3, 3 'and the heald rod 4, 4 '. In fact, if the heald rod 4, 4 'tends to return to its original shape, the profile support 3, 3 'being much more rigid, opposes any deformation and freezes the heald rod 4, 4 'in the position imposed by the template 7.
  • This manufacturing process is therefore particularly suitable for support profiles 3, 3 'made of composite materials and obtained according to a continuous process such as extrusion or pultrusion.
  • These composite materials are for example resins thermosets made from carbon, glass or other fibers. They have the advantage of giving the support profile 3, 3 'a very high rigidity increasing its mechanical resistance to fatigue while considerably reducing its weight.
  • the lack of straightness linked to the use of these composite materials is no longer a disadvantage thanks to the combination of the template 7 and the positioning members 9 or any other equivalent means.
  • this manufacturing process can also be advantageous for support profiles 3, 3 'made so traditional aluminum alloy to eliminate the prior stage of straightening. In this case, the bonding can be replaced by riveting or any equivalent means.
