Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for stretching a weft thread inserted into a shed, in particular for air jet weaving machines.
  • weft threads are inserted into a shed at high speeds. Due to the driving forces and the braking forces at the end of the weaving process, the weft threads are stretched elastically. Because of this stretch, the weft threads have a tendency to jump back into the shed after the weft insertion has ended and form loops or loops there. Such loops or loops mean weaving errors.
  • so-called stretching nozzles are usually arranged on the side of the shed that is opposite the entry side, which stretch the inserted weft thread with an air flow and keep it stretched. This tensioning and stretching can be further supported by the fact that the so-called auxiliary blowing nozzles or relay nozzles remain switched on for a certain period of time after the weft insertion. In order to apply a sufficiently high force for stretching, a relatively large length of weft thread must be taken up by the stretching nozzle. In addition, the air consumption of such a stretching nozzle is relatively high.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an improved device for keeping a registered weft thread stretched.
  • a thread clamp that can be actuated by a control device for clamping the weft thread is provided, in front of which - seen in the weft thread transport direction - a device which can be actuated by means of a control device is arranged for deflecting the weft thread.
  • the thread clamp and the device for deflecting on the same side i.e. are arranged on the side of a shed opposite the entry page. Otherwise the risk of loops or loops is particularly high on this side.
  • the thread clamp prevents the inserted weft thread from jumping back into the shed. Since in most cases it will not be possible to pinch the weft exactly at the moment in which it has completed its entry movement but has not yet moved back again, the device for deflecting and tensioning is provided. This ensures that the weft is kept stretched even if it should have moved back a bit. In this way it is achieved that the tension of the weft thread is essentially the same over the weaving width, so that good fabric quality is obtained.
  • a device for detecting the movement of a weft thread is provided, the signal of which is converted into actuation signals for the thread clamp and the device for deflecting. Since differences in the insertion movement of the weft threads can occur, it is advantageous if the thread clamp and the deflection device are actuated as a function of the detected movement of the weft thread, since a better timing is then possible.
  • a detector of a prewinding device is used as the device for detecting the movement of the weft thread, which detector detects the number of the weft insertion Turns of the weft thread are recorded. This triggers the signal on the entry side, so that even at very high weaving speeds there is sufficient time to activate the thread brake and the deflection device in good time.
  • the size of the deflection force of the device for deflecting the weft thread is adjustable, controllable or regulatable. This enables adaptation to weft threads with different materials in order to stretch a weft thread sufficiently without tearing it.
  • the course of the deflection force can be adjusted during the deflection of the weft thread. It can be done, for example, that in a further embodiment of the invention, at least two independently actuatable devices for deflection are provided.
  • Independently actuated devices for deflecting can possibly also be useful if the materials of two weft threads to be inserted in succession are so different that a different deflecting force makes sense for them and this different deflecting force is not possible by changing the setting of the same device.
  • a method for stretching in which the weft thread is at least approximately clamped with the end of the insertion on the side opposite the insertion side and is then held taut by deflection until it is struck.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of the structure of a device according to the invention for an air jet weaving machine
  • FIG. 2 is a partial view of the embodiment of FIG. 1 on a larger scale
  • Fig. 6 is a view of the device of Figure 1 against the weft transport direction.
  • a weft thread 10 is drawn off from a supply spool (not shown) by means of a prewinder 11 and wound onto a drum of this prewinder in several turns.
  • the weft thread 10 is kept ready in two main blowing nozzles 12, 13.
  • a thread brake 14 is arranged between the pre-winding device 11 and the main blowing nozzles 12, 13.
  • the weft thread is blown into a shed by means of the main blowing nozzles 12, 13, which is formed in the region of a reed 15 from warp threads, not shown.
  • the lamellae are provided in a known manner with a U-shaped recess, which is open to the fabric edge of the fabric, not shown.
  • the transport of the weft thread 10 in the weft thread transport channel 16 is supported by means of auxiliary blowing nozzles or relay nozzles 17, each of which directs a blown air flow into the weft thread transport channel 16.
  • the insertion of the weft threads i.e. the opening of the thread stopper 18, the switching on of the compressed air supply to the main blowing nozzles 12, 13, the loading of the relay nozzles 17 are controlled in a known manner via a control device 21, to which the weft thread monitor 19 is connected, which the arrival of a weft thread on the opposite side of the entry side Page reports.
  • Weft threads usually consist of a relatively elastic material. Due to the high working speeds, they are stretched elastically when entering a shed and especially when braking at the end of the weft insertion. This elastic stretching is the reason why an inserted weft thread has a tendency to spring back into the interior of the shed or into the interior of the weft thread transport channel 16. He then forms loops in this area, which lead to a weaving error. In order to prevent this springing back and to keep the weft thread in such a way that it is struck in an elongated form on the edge of the goods with the help of the reed 15, a thread clamp 22 is provided which grips the inserted weft thread 10 on the opposite side of a shed and stuck.
  • the device 22 and the device 23 are designed and arranged in such a way that they do not hinder the insertion of a weft thread. Its individual elements, which will be explained later, are arranged in an extension and outside the contour of the weft thread transport channel 16. They are actuated by the control device 21 in such a way that they act on the weft thread 10 when it is inserted and that they release it in time when the sley moves back with the reed after the weft thread has struck the goods edge. This makes it possible to keep the weft thread 10 under largely uniform tension over the entire width of the shed, so that a high fabric quality is achieved.
  • the control device 21 forms an actuation signal for the thread clamp 22 and the device 23 as a function of the detected movement of the weft thread 10 during insertion. A sufficient amount of time for the operation of the thread clamp 22 and the device
  • the movement of the weft thread 10 is detected on the entry side. In the exemplary embodiment, this is done by means of the detector 20, which counts the turns drawn off from the drum of the prewinder 11 during the weft insertion.
  • the control device 21 preferably forms the actuation signal for the thread clamp 22 and the device 23 as a function of the signal corresponds to the next to last drawn turn.
  • the start and the end of the actuation of the thread brake 22 and the device 23 can be adjusted via the control device 21 in order to adapt to the material of the weft threads and / or the type of weave.
  • pneumatic piston-cylinder units 24, 25 are provided as actuating devices for the thread clamp 22 and the device 23, which have very short switching times, since only relatively short periods of time are available between the beginning and the end of the actuation which are on the order of 20 ms.
  • the piston-cylinder units 24, 25 of the exemplary embodiment are driven with compressed air in both directions, so that no return springs are present.
  • the start and end of the actuation of the thread clamp 22 and the device 23 is determined by the control device 21, which controls the compressed air supply to the piston-cylinder units 24, 25 via solenoid valves 26, 27.
  • the solenoid valves 26, 27 are preferably 5/3-way valves.
  • a compressed air reservoir or compressed air tank 28 is used as the compressed air source, in which compressed air is stored at a relatively high pressure, for example 6 bar.
  • the piston-cylinder unit 24 of the thread clamp 22 is supplied directly with the high pressure via the valve 26, so that very short switching times can be achieved for the thread clamp 22.
  • the piston-cylinder unit 25 of the device 23 for deflecting is subjected to a variable pressure. The aim is to achieve a pressure curve, such as that shown in FIG. 5.
  • the piston-cylinder unit 25 of the device 23 is subjected to a high pressure in order to trigger the movement as quickly as possible. Then the pressure is reduced to a lower value, so that the force with which the weft thread 10 is held taut is reduced.
  • the pressure curve shown in FIG. 5 is achieved in that a throttle valve 29 and a small reservoir 30 are connected upstream of the solenoid valve 27. As long as the solenoid valve 27 blocks the line in the extension direction to the piston-cylinder unit 25, a pressure builds up in the small reservoir 30 which essentially corresponds to the pressure in the compressed air tank 28. If the solenoid valve 27 establishes the connection to the piston-cylinder unit 25 in the extending direction, then the full pressure is briefly applied to it until the reservoir 30 is emptied to such an extent that it is refilled with the pressure throttled by the throttle valve 29. This results in the pressure curve shown with the solid line in FIG.
  • the throttling of the throttle valve 29 is preferably adjustable via an input device and the control device 21 in order to adapt to different materials of the weft threads and / or also to different weaves.
  • the throttle position of the throttle valve 29 can also be adjusted, controlled or regulated during weaving.
  • the control device 21 by means of an electromagnetic valve 31 of the piston-cylinder unit 25 switches on a second compressed air supply.
  • An adjustable throttle valve 32 which is set to a higher pressure value than the throttle valve 29, is connected upstream of the solenoid valve 31 designed as a shut-off valve.
  • the control device 21 can actuate the solenoid valve 31 according to a predetermined setting of a time period or an angular position of the Main shaft of the weaving machine take place. 1 and 2, however, it is provided that a position detector 33 is assigned to the piston of the piston-cylinder unit 25 of the device 23, which, depending on the position of the piston or in a predetermined position, gives a signal that the second pressure peak causes.
  • the start and end of the actuation of the thread clamp 22 and the device 23 can take place in predetermined time periods after the signal of the detector 20.
  • the start and end of the actuation are preferably also determined as a function of the angular positions ⁇ of the main shaft of the weaving machine, since the movement of the sley and thus of the reed 15 is also assigned to these angular positions.
  • the time period which lies between the arrival of the weft thread at the weft thread monitor 19 and the signal of the detector 20 can also be taken into account.
  • the elements of the thread clamp 22 and the device 23 are arranged on the sley of the weaving machine which carries the reed 15.
  • the arrangement is such that all elements in the rest position lie outside the contour of the weft thread transport channel, as can be seen from FIG. 6.
  • a stationary clamping part 34 is located above the weft thread transport channel 16.
  • the piston-cylinder unit 24 is so far below the weft thread transport channel that the outermost end of the piston 35 is in the rest position below the weft thread transport channel 16.
  • the piston-cylinder unit 25 is also arranged below the weft thread transport channel 16 in such a way that the piston 36 is completely below the weft thread transport channel 16 in the rest position.
  • the device 23 includes two deflection elements 37, 38, which are arranged above the weft thread transport channel 16.
  • the piston 36 together with the weft thread 10 is in the area between the two deflection elements 37, 38. movable, and takes the weft 10.
  • the deflection path of the weft thread 10 therefore corresponds to twice the path of the piston 36.
  • a further weft monitor 39 can be arranged after the thread clamp 22.
  • a stretching nozzle 40 can also be arranged at the end of the weft thread transport channel 16, which blows a compressed air jet together with the end of the weft thread into a tube arranged above the weft thread transport duct 16 and extending from a blowing opening arranged below the weft thread transport duct 16.
  • the tube and the blowing opening are oriented obliquely or parallel to the weft thread transport channel 16.
