Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mesh needle drive device for a sickle loom.
  • the invention also relates to a loom equipped with such a device.
  • a mesh needle drive device for a sickle loom according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the document US-A-3,752,195 .
  • mesh needles In the field of looms with sickles, it is known to use, for the formation of selvedges fabrics or ribbons during manufacture, so-called mesh needles that operate by movement forward and back in synchronism with the movement of the sickles, in order to crochet the weft thread brought by a sickle and mesh it with the previous weft.
  • These mesh needles are generally provided with a valve and controlled by cams and rods that must be adjusted accurately to set the amplitude and extreme positions of the stroke of these needles.
  • These drive and control devices are complex and relatively unreliable. They are, moreover, expensive and their adjustment is long and delicate, which does not allow to obtain a satisfactory accuracy and repeatability of the movement of the mesh needles.
  • the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a new training device for mesh needles which is easily adjustable and which does not have a tendency to deteriorate over time, whereas its construction is simpler than that of known devices, which gives it a better reliability.
  • the invention relates to a mesh needle drive device for a sickle loom which comprises an electric rotary actuator whose output shaft is kinematically linked, by means of transforming a rotary movement. in a translational movement, with several meshing needles.
  • the settings of the movement of the mesh needles can be performed extremely quickly and accurately by adjusting the control parameters of the electric rotary actuator.
  • the fact of controlling several needles through the same actuator limits the number of components of the drive device, which reduces its cost and improves its reliability.
  • the device of the invention can operate at high speed, in particular higher than the systems with rods and cams of the state of the art, while its size is reduced.
  • the linear movement of the mesh needles parallel to the edge of the fabric or ribbon during weaving makes it possible to make stitches smaller and to reduce the necessary compensation.
  • the invention also relates to a sickle loom equipped with a drive device as previously described.
  • a sickle loom equipped with a drive device as previously described.
  • Such a craft is easier to manufacture, adjust and maintain than those of the state of the art and can operate at a higher speed.
  • the loom M partially represented in the figure 1 allows to weave several ribbons in parallel by crossing warp son 1 and weft son 2.
  • the weft son are more or less spaced apart from each other forming a crowd F, this crowd being, for example, obtained by means of a Jacquard type mechanism, known per se and not shown.
  • the weft yarn 2 is supplied from a not shown reel and introduced into the shed F by means of a sickle 4 animated with an alternating rotation movement F 1 about an axis XX 'substantially vertical.
  • the weft yarn 2 passes through an eyelet 41 formed in the vicinity of the free end 42 of the sickle 4 whose drive mechanism about the axis XX 'is not shown for clarity of the drawing.
  • a mesh needle 5 is associated with each sickle 4, this needle being animated with a movement of advance and recoil, represented by the double arrow F 2 , which is essentially parallel to the direction of advance of the warp threads represented by the arrow F 3 .
  • the mesh needle can be of any known type and, for example, equipped with a valve 5a.
  • an electric rotary actuator 6 in this case a brushless DC electric motor or "brushless”
  • the output shaft 7 is grooved and centered on a geometric axis YY 'generally perpendicular to the XX 'axis and F 3 direction of the warp son.
  • pinions 8 On the shaft 7 are mounted pinions 8 in number equal to the number of needles 5 to drive, each of these pinions being intended to be engaged with a rack 9 on which is reported a needle 5.
  • each rack is provided with a housing 91 for receiving a rear end 51 of a needle 5, as well as a screw 92 for locking this end 51 in this housing 91.
  • each needle 5 is secured in a removable manner with a rack 9, which allows for a quick and easy exchange of one or more needles 5 during maintenance operations of the trade M.
  • each pinion 8 is provided with a central grooved opening 81 whose geometry is substantially complementary to the splines 71 of the shaft 7, so as to allow the pinion 8 to be secured in rotation with the shaft 7 and a reduced clearance clearance of the pinion 8 along this shaft, parallel to the axis YY ', as represented by the double arrow F 4 .
  • Each pinion 8 also includes an external toothing 83 adapted to cooperate with a longitudinal toothing 93 of the associated rack 9.
  • each of the mesh needles 5 is driven in its reciprocating movement F 2 .
  • the elements 8 and 9 constitute means for transforming the rotary movement F 5 of the shaft 7 into a translational movement F 2 of the different needles 5.
  • the needles 5 and the associated racks 9 are guided in their translational movement F 2 by housings 10 in which the racks 9 are arranged and which are formed of two half-shells 10A and 10B whose internal surfaces constitute parallel guide rails to the double arrow F 2 .
  • These half-shells 10a and 10b for guiding a rack 9 each extend by a lug 11a or 11b, these lugs together forming a bearing for receiving the pinion 8 associated with this rack. This contributes to the proper relative positioning of the rack / pinion assemblies.
  • a single motor 6 can control several needles 5, for example all the needles of the trade M. Alternatively, and depending on the number of weaving ribbons, two or more motors can be used.
  • the position of each of the pinions 8 along the shaft 7 is easily adjustable, which makes it possible to adjust the position of the different needles. 5 along this shaft, in particular to take into account the number of woven ribbons R or their respective widths.
  • the invention has been shown with pinions 8 whose opening 81 is substantially complementary to the grooves 71 over the entire periphery of the shaft 7. It can be provided that the section of the shaft and the profile of this opening are complementary that on an angular sector, or several, which nevertheless allows to effectively drive the gears.
  • the output shaft 107 of a brushless motor 106 extends perpendicularly to the feed direction F 3 of the warp threads 101 d a loom M whose sickles 104 have an alternating rotational movement F 1 about an axis X-X '.
  • Each mesh needle 105 is stuck on a bar 111 which is connected to the shaft 107 by means of a cable 112 which is stowed on the shaft 107 by means of a wedging member such as a wedge 113 immobilized on the shaft 107 by a screw not shown.
  • the cable 112 surrounds the shaft 107 over at least one turn and its two ends 112A and 112B are respectively secured to the two ends 111A and 111B of the corresponding bar 111, so that the alternating rotation movement F 5 of the shaft 107 is transmitted in the form of an alternating translation movement F 2 to the corresponding needle 105.
  • the power supply parameters of the motor 106 make it possible to control the travel of the hands 105.
  • the elements 105, 111 and 112 are movable parallel to the longitudinal axis YY 'of the shaft 107.
  • a brushless motor 206 drives, in an alternating rotational movement F 5 , an output shaft 207 on which rods 215 are keyed and slidably mounted along the longitudinal axis YY 'of the shaft 207. These rods extend radially relative to the longitudinal axis YY' and are each associated by a rod 217 to a bar 211 on which is mounted a mesh needle 205.
  • each connecting rod 215 could be coupled by a rod 217 directly to a needle 205.
  • the power supply parameters of the motor 206 make it possible to adjust the reciprocating stroke F 2 of the hands 205 whose position parallel to the axis YY 'is adjustable.
  • a mesh finger may, where appropriate, be associated with the sickle and the weave mesh needle of each of the R ribbons.
  • the output shaft of an electric rotary actuator is a shaft driven by this actuator, whether it is a shaft directly connected to the rotor of the actuator or of a solidarized shaft. to a tree itself connected to such a rotor.
  • Various types of electric rotary actuators can be used in the context of the present invention and, in particular, stepper-type motors or any other actuator allowing rotational movement back and forth and whose movement parameters, such as the speed, the instantaneous position and the amplitude, are adjustable.
