Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling the supply voltage and to a device for feeding at least one weft thread for a sickle loom.
  • the invention also relates to a loom equipped with such a feeding device.
  • the speed of rotation of the donor must be synchronized with that of the sickle, which implies the use of complex mechanical devices, particularly of the gearbox and / or spring type. compensation.
  • the known devices are therefore relatively expensive and their adjustment can be particularly long and tedious.
  • EP-A-0 851 833 or EP-A-0 619 261 It is known, for example from EP-A-0 851 833 or EP-A-0 619 261 to control a frame donor brake according to the downstream weft thread tension. It is also known to EP-A-0 467 059 to enslave the position of a lever forming a voltage regulator. These devices are not efficient enough to be associated with a sickle loom.
  • a method of controlling the supply voltage of at least one weft yarn and a feeder according to the preamble of claim 1 and 5 respectively are known from the document US-A-4,298,033 .
  • FR-A-2 352 906 It is also known to FR-A-2 352 906 to equip a lance loom with an electrically actuated weft-guiding cylinder according to the position of a compensating arm. Such a mechanism is not responsive enough to be associated with a sickle loom.
  • the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a new method for controlling the supply voltage of a weft yarn in which it is not necessary to mechanically synchronize the weft donor and the sickle, while the weft yarn is delivered with a tension adapted to its use.
  • the invention relates to a method for controlling the supply voltage of at least one weft yarn in a loom comprising at least one sickle from a yarn supply, in which method less wire is subjected to the action of a drum frame donor and a device for compensation of its accelerations / decelerations, this device comprising a movable member defining the trajectory of the weft yarn.
  • This method is characterized in that it comprises a step of controlling the operation of an electric drive actuator of at least one drum of the frame donor according to a signal representative of the operation of a second electric actuator which itself drives the aforementioned movable member.
  • the weft donor can, by the angular position of its drum, not only provide the right amount of yarn required for weaving but also smooth some of the violent accelerations / decelerations of the weft, which allows limit the necessary compensation accordingly.
  • the compensation device or "compensator" of the invention not only smoothes a part of the violent acceleration / deceleration of the frame, but also to fix, to a certain extent, the tension of the weft thread independently of its angular position. It also makes it possible to adjust the speed of the donor at each instant according to the frame requirement, by authorizing variable unwinding speeds.
  • the invention also relates to a weft yarn feeding device of a loom comprising at least one sickle which makes it possible to implement a method as previously described and, more specifically, a device comprising a supply of yarns of frame, at least one weft drive drum and at least one device for compensation of its accelerations / decelerations of this thread which comprises a movable member defining the trajectory of the weft yarn.
  • This device is characterized in that the drum is rotated by a first electric actuator, in that the movable member is driven by a second electric actuator and in that means are provided for measuring the position of the aforementioned movable member, while means are also provided for controlling the first electric actuator according to the result of the measurement made by the measuring means.
  • the position of the drive drum which in practice belongs to the weft donor, can be controlled in a way that allows it to constantly adapt to the movements of the back and forth of the sickle and compensate for some of the resulting accelerations and violent decelerations of the weft yarn.
  • the invention finally relates to a sickle loom equipped with a feed device such as described above.
  • a sickle loom equipped with a feed device such as described above.
  • the device represented in figures 1 and 2 is intended to allow weft feed of a sickle 1 animated with an oscillating pivoting movement, represented by the arrow F 2 , around a fixed point 2.
  • the weft thread 3 is moved relative to the warp threads 4 of the loom M, which makes it possible to weave a ribbon R which moves in the direction of the arrow F 3 .
  • the sickle 1 is supplied with weft thread 3 from a spool 10. Starting from the spool 10, the thread 3 passes through a fixed guide eyelet 11 and a thread brake 12 known per se which ensures the tension of the thread 3 by applying on it a constant pressure P 1 , this pressure being adjustable, as represented by the arrow F 4 .
  • the wire 3 After passing through the wire brake 12, the wire 3 runs along a return roller 14 and then is wound on a drum 15 belonging to a weft donor 16 whose function is to deliver to the sickle 1 a corresponding quantity of threads 3 to the reciprocating movements of its free end 5.
  • the wire 3 can be supported on about 180 ° on the drum 15 or make one or more turns around it.
  • the frame donor 16 also comprises a servomotor 17, for example a brushless motor, controlled by a suitable electronic unit 18.
  • the wire 3 Downstream of the drum 15, the wire 3 bears on a second roller 19 and then passes through an eyelet 20 mounted at the free end of an arm 21 movable between the two positions shown in phantom at the figure 1 , which allows the eyelet 20 to describe a trajectory globally in a circular arc C 1 .
  • the position of the arm 21 is controlled by a second servomotor 22, for example a brushless motor which is powered to generate a substantially constant torque.
  • the wire 3 passes through a second fixed eyelet 23 and then passes through an eyelet 6 formed at the free end 5 of the sickle 1.
  • the torque C 2 exerted by the motor 22 on the arm 21 directly influences the tension T of the weft thread 3 between the eyelets 23 and 6.
  • the motor 22 is powered such that, taking into account the path of the wire 3 between the elements 19, 20 and 23, the voltage T is substantially constant, the value of this constant being adjustable by the setting of the motor power supply 22.
  • a sensor 25 is installed near the actuator 22 for detecting the angular position ⁇ of the rotor 22 a.
  • the sensor 25 is connected to the unit 18 and its electrical output signal S 1 is supplied to this unit to control the servomotor 17 and thereby the drum 15, so as to deliver a quantity of weft yarn 3 which reduces Permanently the arm 21 in the desired position.
  • the drum 15 delivers the amount of weft yarn 3 just needed for the movements of the end 5 of the sickle 1.
  • the assembly formed of the elements 20 to 21 constitutes a compensation device or "compensator” 27 which smooths part of the violent accelerations / decelerations to which the weft thread 3 is subjected because of the movements of the sickle 1.
  • the donor 16 provides the right amount of yarn required for weaving and participates in the smoothing of the violent accelerations / decelerations of the weft yarn, since the signal S 1 makes it possible to adjust the advance of the weft thread as a function of the position of the arm 21.
  • the compensator 27 makes it possible to give a tension T substantially constant and of desired value to the weft thread in the vicinity of the sickle, this relatively independently of the position of the sickle during its movement F 2 .
  • the invention makes it possible to adjust, at each instant, the speed of the donor 16 as a function of the need for weft thread, so that the quantity of thread supplied by the donor 16 is always in line with the need weft yarn which has, moreover, a tension T substantially constant.
  • a single servomotor 17 may be used to drive, around the same axis A-A ', several drums 15 1 to 15 n which are in number corresponding to the number of sickles 11 to 1 n .
  • a single servomotor 22 is, moreover, used to drive, simultaneously and around another axis B-B ', n arms 21 1 to 21 n in the eyelets 20 1 to 20 n which pass the weft son 3 1 to 3 n .
  • the torque C 2 exerted by the servomotor 22 is adjusted to take into account the number of arms 21 1 to 21 n to be driven.
  • an electrical signal S 1 is used by a control unit 18 to drive the motor 17 as a function of the angular position of the motor 22 detected by a sensor 25.
