Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a technique for deciding a set point of an operation mode of an apparatus for a weft bar preventing apparatus of a loom, based on information on a cloth.
  • weft bar preventing apparatus of a loom there is known an apparatus which performs so-called kick-back operation by rotating or reversing a warp beam or a take-up roller by a certain rotation angle prior to starting the loom for displacing a cloth fell to a predetermined position (see, e.g., Japanese Patent Appln. Public Disclosure No. 61-63750 Official Gazette).
  • a weft bar preventing apparatus of a multicolor weft inserting loom there is known an apparatus which performs so-called kick-back operation by presetting an amount of correction to correct the position of a cloth fell for each color pattern of the weft and, when restarting the loom, displaces the cloth fell to a predetermined position by rotating or reversing a warp beam or a take-up roller according to the amount of correction corresponding to the weft color pattern (see, e.g., Japanese Patent Appln. Public Disclosure No. 3-27154 Official Gazette).
  • An object of the present invention lies in shortening the time required for adjusting a loom, by providing information suitable for the specification of a cloth for setting an operation mode of a weft bar preventing apparatus.
  • the set point deciding apparatus comprises an input device into which information on a cloth is inputted, and an output device which decides and outputs a set point of an operation mode of a weft bar preventing apparatus of a loom.
  • the information to be inputted on a cloth further includes either a cover factor showing a crowding state of the yarns of the cloth, or a value on which the cover factor is based.
  • the output device includes a database in which set points on a plurality of operation modes in the weft bar preventing action are pre-stored in correspondence to the information on the cloth, and search means for searching a set point of the corresponding operation mode from the database.
  • the output device based on the cover factor obtained as the information on the cloth, decides a set point of the operation mode corresponding thereto as the set point of the operation mode of the weft bar preventing apparatus.

  • the weft bar preventing action suffices to be at least one of the above-listed operations, and it is also possible to adopt those other than the above or to combine with those listed above. Also, when a plurality of weft bar preventing apparatus 78 are used, it is possible to make operation modes of the plural weft bar preventing apparatus 78 different from each other.
  • parameter A shows the number of warp yarns per unit weaving width dimension
  • parameter B the thickness of the warp yarn (yarn number count)
  • parameter C the set beating density
  • parameter D the thickness of the weft yarn 24 (yarn number count).
  • parameter A can be obtained by the total number of warp yarns/reed drawing-in width. Accordingly, parameter A is calculated on the basis of the total number of warp yarns and the reed drawing-in width which are input information on the warp.
  • An operator inputs each of parameters A, B, C and D which become the basis for calculation of the cover factor, and has the CPU 62 calculates the cover factor based on the inputted values. In place thereof, however, it can be also considered that the operator directly inputs the cover factor itself obtained by himself through the touch panel 56.
  • the cover factor means numerized state (degree) of crowding of yarns.
  • the cover factor reflects a difficulty in beating the weft 24 as it stands.
  • the so-called weft bar i.e., suspended stage generated accompanying stoppage of the loom as an object of the present invention
  • the cover factor is a numerized crowding state (degree) of yarns. In other words, the cover factor reflects a difficulty in beating the weft 24 as it stands.
  • beating the inserted weft 24 only once results in a final weaving density.
  • beating the inserted weft 24 several times results in a final weaving density.
  • the inventors looked into the relationship between the cover factor and the beating condition for obtaining a predetermined weft density, and found out there is a correlation between the operation mode of the weft bar preventing apparatus 78 and the cover factor representing a crowding state of yarns.
  • an operation mode of the weft bar preventing apparatus 78 by turning one's attention to the cover factor CF as information for setting an operation mode suitable for the specification of the cloth, namely, according to the value of the cover factor CF (i.e., degree of difficulty in beating the weft 24).
  • the above-mentioned set point deciding apparatus 54 can be made as follows.
  • cloth for example, there are kind of cloth (spun fabric in general, ground fabric, wool, etc.), kind of texture (1/1 plain weave, 2/1, 3/1 twilled weave, 4/1, 5/1 satin weave, fancy weave, dobby pattern and the like).
  • the database 58 may be systematically constituted with further addition of kinds of cloth and textures of cloth as shown in Table 2. Needless to say, in contrast to the systematical constitution as shown in Table 1, either one or both of the foregoing can be included in the information on the specification of cloth.
  • the CPU 62 may be constituted so that, in place of employing the database 58, the set point T is calculated by a function which is pre-incorporated into the memory 60 and makes the information on the specification of the cloth a parameter.
  • the set point deciding apparatus 54 may be provided, not to be used in common with the setter of the loom 10 but to be exclusively used for the weft bar preventing apparatus 87.
  • the set point deciding apparatus 54 may also be constituted by a computer to be used in common with plural looms 10.
  • the setters and the computers of respective looms 10 are connected so as to be communicated by a wire or wireless network.
  • the output information to be outputted from the set point deciding apparatus 54 may be displayed in the display portion of the setter of the loom 10.
  • the set point deciding apparatus 54 may be constituted by a personal computer provided in a control chamber of the loom 10. In this case, the set point deciding apparatus 54 may print out the output information on paper, and an operator may set the weft bar preventing apparatus 78 on the basis of the outputted information printed out on the paper as outputted.
  • the database which stores the cover factors and set points of operation modes of the weft bar preventing operation is previously provided from a loom manufacturer, but more preferably, a user such as a manufacturer or a textile factory modifies the database or constitute so as to add a shortage in the database according to their past results.
  • looms to which the present invention can be applied not only to a loom for weaving always on a single weaving condition during operation but also, for example, to a loom which changes some of the weaving conditions such as kinds of the weft yarns, weft beating density and fabric texture mentioned above in accordance with rotation of the main shaft of the loom.
  • operation modes of the weft bar preventing operation corresponding to the weaving conditions are preset for every weft insertion pick and, when the loom stopped, the corresponding weft bar preventing operation may be performed.
  • the cover factor CF is a value resulting from adding two basic cover factors, namely, a value resulting from adding the warp cover factor CFw and the weft cover factor CFp.
  • the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment but can be variously modified without departing from its purport.
