Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for adjusting a pile-warp tension in a pile loom that forms the pile by changing a relative position between a beat-up position and a cloth-fell position.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 7-90754 is an example of related art.
  • An object of the present invention is to prevent a pile missing section from being formed and the weaving performance from being degraded when a pile loom stops while a pile structure is being woven.
  • a method for adjusting a pile-warp tension in a pile loom that forms the pile by changing a relative position between a beat-up position and a cloth-fell position includes the step of setting a loosening amount by which pile warp yarns are to be loosened if the pile loom stops while a pile structure is being woven, the loosening amount being set for each cause of stoppage, and, when the pile loom stops while the pile structure is being woven, loosening the pile warp yarns on the basis of the loosening amount corresponding to the cause of stoppage and setting the pile-warp tension to a value lower than the pile-warp tension applied while the pile structure is being woven.
  • the relative position between the beat-up position and the cloth-fell position is changed by shifting the position of the cloth fell (cloth-shifting method) or by shifting the beat-up position (beat-up-position-shifting method).
  • the present invention is applied to cloth-shifting pile looms.
  • the pile warp yarns are loosened by a predetermined loosening amount by different means depending on the method of pile-warp tension control performed by a main controller.
  • the method of pile-warp tension control is based on either urging-force control or position control of a tension roller.
  • the tension roller is urged in one direction while a driving force of an actuator for the tension roller, e.g., a torque of a drive motor for the tension roller, is controlled at a predetermined set value in the weaving process. Accordingly, the pile-warp tension is controlled at a predetermined tension irrespective of the cloth-fell position.
  • an actuator for the tension roller e.g., a torque of a drive motor for the tension roller
  • the urging force of the tension roller is reduced by the loosening force corresponding to the cause of stoppage so that the pile-warp tension is set to the value lower than the pile-warp tension applied while the pile structure is being woven.
  • the loosening force with respect to the urging force of the tension roller is set as a loosening force with respect to the driving force of the actuator for the tension roller. For example, when a drive motor is used as the actuator, the loosening force is set as a loosening torque for the drive motor.
  • the tension roller In the case in which the main controller performs the pile-warp tension control based on the position control of the tension roller for the pile warp yarns, the tension roller is moved to control the position thereof in the weaving process. Accordingly, the pile-warp tension is controlled at a predetermined tension irrespective of the cloth-fell position. A moving amount of the tension roller and/or a loosening length of the pile warp yarns in the let-off direction is/are set as the loosening amount for each cause of stoppage.
  • the pile warp yarns are loosened by the loosening amount by rotating the drive motor by a predetermined rotation amount to move the tension roller and/or by rotating the let-off motor for the pile warp yarns to let off the pile warp yarns by a predetermined length.
  • the loosening amount (the reduced tension or the loosening length) is set to different values for each cause of stoppage, such as warp stop, weft stop, manual stop caused by a stop button, and stoppage caused by an automatic counter.
  • the tension for the weft stop is set to be higher than that for the warp stop, and the loosening length for the weft stop is set to be smaller than that for the warp stop.
  • the loosening amount for the weft stop is set to be smaller than that for the warp stop.
  • the pile warp yarns are loosened by the loosening amount. Therefore, even when the pile warp yarns are pulled in the warp repair process or in the shedding motion for the weft repair process, the missing pile section is not formed and a cloth with uniform pile length can be obtained.
  • the pile warp yarns are not loosened more than necessary, the problems that occur when the pile-warp tension is too low can be prevented. For example, the adjacent pile warp yarns are prevented from becoming tangled.
  • the loosened pile warp yarns are prevented from being caught by projecting portions of dents that form a weft-guiding groove on the side facing the cloth fell in the beat-up motion. Accordingly, degradation of the weaving performance is prevented.
  • the control system of the tension roller can be directly used. More specifically, a loosening force with respect to the urging force applied to the tension roller, that is, a loosening force with respect to the driving force of the actuator for the tension roller in the weaving process, can be set as the loosening amount for each cause of stoppage.
  • a loosening torque of the drive motor can be set as the loosening amount.
  • the pile-warp tension for the weft stop is set to be higher than that for the warp stop, the change in the pile-warp tension for the weft stop is set small, so that the adjacent pile warp yarns are prevented from becoming tangled in the weft repair process.
  • the loosened pile warp yarns are prevented from being caught by projecting portions of dents that form a weft-guiding groove on the side facing the cloth fell when the beat-up motion. Accordingly, degradation of the weaving performance is prevented.
  • the pile-warp tension is set low, so that the missing pile section is reliably prevented from being formed in the warp repair process.
  • the control system of the tension roller and/or the let-off control system of the pile warp yarns can be directly used. More specifically, a loosening length of the pile warp yarns can be set as the loosening amount for each cause of stoppage.
  • the amount of movement of the tension roller and/or the let-out length of the pile warp yarns for when the pile loom stops while the pile structure is being woven is/are set for each cause of stoppage, and the pile warp yarns are loosened by the loosening length corresponding to the cause of stoppage.
  • the pile-warp tension can be set on the basis of the loosening amount corresponding to each cause of stoppage.
  • the loosening length for the weft stop is set to be smaller than that for the warp stop, the change in the pile-warp tension for the weft stop is set small, so that degradation of the weaving performance can be prevented, as described above. In addition, the missing pile section is reliably prevented from being formed in the warp repair process.
  • a method for adjusting a pile-warp tension according to the present invention is applied to pile looms that form the pile by changing a relative position between a beat-up position and a cloth-fell position.
  • cloth-shifting pile looms in which the relative position between the beat-up position and the cloth-fell position is changed by shifting the cloth-fell position together with the cloth in the weaving process are described as typical examples of such pile looms.
  • pile warp yarns are loosened by a predetermined amount by controlling an urging force applied to a tension roller when the pile loom stops while the pile structure is being woven.
  • the pile warp yarns are loosened by a predetermined amount by controlling the position of the tension roller when the pile loom stops while the pile structure is being woven.
  • Figs. 1 to 6 show a cloth-shifting pile loom 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
  • the pile is formed by shifting the cloth-fell position to change the relative position between the beat-up position and the cloth-fell position.
  • the pile-warp tension is controlled by performing tension control (torque control). Accordingly, when the pile loom 1 stops while a pile structure is being woven, pile warp yarns 2 are loosened by a predetermined amount by controlling the urging force applied to a tension roller 5, thereby reducing the pile-warp tension.

Accordingly, the pile-warp tension is maintained at the predetermined adequate pile-warp tension.
  • the torque control is performed to control the urging force applied to the tension roller 5, thereby controlling the tension applied to the pile warp yarns 2 by the tension roller 5.
  • the displacement of the tension roller 5 is detected by a position sensor 54 for the let-off control of the pile warp yarns 2.

  • the terry shift (reed shift) is defined as the distance between the fast-pick position (normal beat-up position) and the loose-pick position (front position) and corresponds to the pile length. In this manner, the relative position between the beat-up position and the cloth-fell position is changed in synchronization with the rotation of the main shaft 33.

Accordingly, the main controller 50 rotates the let-off motors 36 in the let-off direction so that the pile warp yarns 2 are let off, and moves the tension roller 5 rearward toward the position sensor 54.
  • the main controller 50 stops the rotation of the let-off motors 36 in the let-off direction.
  • the main controller 50 controls the torque of the drive motor 25 to perform tension control of the pile warp yarns 2. More specifically, as described above, the drive motor 25 is rotated in the normal and reverse directions in synchronization with the weaving motion, in particular, the terry motion, so as to rock the levers 22 and 23 back and forth. At this time, the main controller 50 controls the toque of the drive motor 25 on the basis of the operation torque set by the torque setter 46 such that the tension roller 5 is urged backward with a predetermined set torque and a predetermined adequate pile-warp tension is applied to the pile warp yarns 2. Accordingly, the predetermined adequate pile-warp tension is maintained.

  • the loosening force with respect to the urging force applied to the tension roller 5 in the weaving process may also be set directly as, for example, a warp-stop loosening torque, a weft-stop loosening torque, a manual-stop loosening torque, and an automatic-stop loosening torque.
  • the loosening-amount control circuit 52 controls the drive motor 25 with a torque calculated by subtracting the loosening torque from the torque applied in the weaving process.

  • the inserted weft yarn 15 is completely beaten against the cloth fell 10.
  • the cloth fell 10 moves back to the normal beat-up position (fast-pick position), where the weft yarn 15 is completely beaten against the cloth fell 10.
  • the pile warp yarns 2 form the pile loops with the length corresponding to the terry shift (reed shift).
  • the pile structure including pile loops in every predetermined number of picks is obtained.
  • the main controller 50 increases or reduces the pile-warp tension to a predetermined tension by performing torque control of the drive motor 25 on the basis of the operation torque obtained from the torque setter 46. More specifically, when the non-pile structure is being woven, the drive motor 25 urges the tension roller 5 so that the predetermined adequate pile-warp tension is applied to the pile warp yarns 2. When the pile structure is being woven, the tension roller 5 is moved forward, that is, in the direction toward the cloth fell 10, and the pile-warp tension is set to a lower tension so that complete pile loops can be obtained and the pile missing section can be prevented from being formed. Thus, the tension control of the pile warp yarns 2 is performed by the torque control of the drive motor 25.

  • two display units for the detectors 6a disposed on the right and the detectors 6a disposed on the left are provided to display the warp yarns 2 and 11 on the left and the warp yarns 2 and 11 on the right, respectively. Accordingly, the operator can recognize whether the warp cut has occurred on the left side or the right side.
  • Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a process performed when a cause of stoppage occurs during the operation of the pile loom 1.
  • the process for when the cause of stoppage occurs is started by the main controller 50 and the loosening-amount control circuit 52 when the operation of the pile loom 1 is started.

  • the drive motor 25 is rotated clockwise in Fig. 1, that is, in the normal direction, while performing the torque control based on a torque signal corresponding to the causes of stoppage other than the warp stop, that is, the weft stop, the manual stop, or the automatic stop.
  • the tension roller 5 is moved forward, that is, toward the cloth fell 10, and is then stopped while the torque of the drive motor 25 is maintained at the set torque.
  • the pile-warp tension is set to a lower value.
  • the pile loom 1 is set to a state shown in Fig. 3.
  • the loosening-amount control circuit 52 rotates the drive motor 25 in the normal direction while performing the torque control based on a torque signal corresponding to the warp stop. Accordingly, the tension roller 5 is moved forward, that is, toward the cloth fell 10, and is then stopped, as shown in Fig. 2, while the torque of the drive motor 25 is maintained at the set torque. Thus, the pile warp yarns 2 are loosened by an adequate loosening amount. At this time, as described above, the torque of the drive motor 25 corresponding to the loosening amount is set to about a quarter of the torque applied in the weaving process.
  • Excessive loosening of the pile warp yarns 2 in the loosening step is undesirable not only in the loosened state but also in the weaving process performed afterwards.
  • This undesirable state can be detected from the warp-stop signals obtained from the dropper device 6. More specifically, when the pile warp yarns 2 are excessively loosened, two or more detectors 6a in the dropper device 6 simultaneously generates the warp-stop signals. Therefore, the loosening-amount control circuit 52 determines whether or not more than one warp-stop signals are detected, and ends the process after confirming that the result is NO.
  • the loosening-amount control circuit 52 rotates the drive motor 25 in the reverse direction while gradually increasing the torque corresponding to the warp stop in the next torque-increasing step.
  • the pile-warp tension is gradually increased as long as the result of determination of whether or not only one warp-stop signal is detected is NO, and the step of determining whether or not only one warp-stop signal is detected is repeated until the number of warp-stop signals is finally reduced to one.
  • the loosening-amount control circuit 52 ends the process. Accordingly, excessive loosening of the pile warp yarns 2 is prevented, and the operator can identify the location where the warp cut has occurred. More than one warp-stop signals are detected not only when the loosening amount of the pile warp yarns 2 is too large but also when the pile warp yarns 2 are excessively loosened by external conditions.
  • the step of determining whether or not more than one warp-stop signals are detected, the step of gradually increasing the torque, and the step of determining whether or not only one warp-stop signal is detected are also effective when the pile warp yarns 2 are excessively loosened due to the external conditions. If more than one warp-stop signals are often detected in the step of determining whether or not more than one warp-stop signals are detected, the loosening amount of the pile warp yarns 2 may be reduced.
  • the pile-warp tension is set to a tension corresponding to the warp stop.
  • the torque of the drive motor 25 is equal or close to the predetermined warp-stop torque that corresponds to the predetermined pile-warp tension irrespective of the position of the cloth fell 10.

  • the warp-stop torque that is, the torque for the warp stop is lower than the torque for the weft stop. Therefore, the pile warp yarns 2 are loosened by the amount necessary for the warp repair process. In this state, the operator repairs one the pile warp yarn 2 or the ground warp yarn 11 that needs repairing.
  • the operator After repairing, the operator operates the activation button 51 to activate the main controller 50, and the pile loom 1 is restarted accordingly.

In the weaving process, the pile-warp tension is controlled by performing position control (rotation control). Accordingly, when the pile loom 1 stops while a pile structure is being woven, pile warp yarns 2 are loosened by a predetermined amount by performing the position control (rotation control), thereby reducing the pile-warp tension.

  • a rotation-amount setter 59 stores a warp-stop rotation amount, a weft-stop rotation amount, a manual-stop rotation amount, and an automatic-stop rotation amount in advance. These rotation amounts correspond to the loosening length of the pile warp yarns 2, that is, the loosening amount for each cause of stoppage.
  • the loosening-length setter 60 stores a warp let-off length for the warp stop in advance.
  • the main controller 50 determines whether the non-pile structure or the pile structure was being woven. Then, the main controller 50 outputs a non-pile structure signal or a pile structure signal to the loosening-amount control circuit 52 together with the cause signal depending on the result of determination.
  • the loosening-amount control circuit 52 determines the cause of stoppage from the cause signal. In the case of, for example, the warp stop, the loosening-amount control circuit 52 moves the tension roller 5 forward by rotating the drive motor 25 by the warp-stop rotation amount set by the rotation-amount setter 59. Alternatively, the loosening-amount control circuit 52 rotates the let-off motor 36 by an amount corresponding to the warp let-off length for the warp stop. Accordingly, as shown in Fig.
  • the pile warp yarns 2 are loosened by a predetermined loosening amount (loosening length) and the pile warp tension is set to a lower value as a result of the position control of the tension roller 5 (rotation-amount control of the drive motor 25) and the rotation-amount control of the let-off motor 36.
  • the beam-diameter calculation circuit 63 calculates the diameter of the pile warp beam 3 on the basis of the ratio between the rotational speed obtained by an encoder 61 connected to the let-off motor 36 and that obtained by an encoder 62 connected to the take-up motor 38.
  • the loosening-amount control circuit 52 determines the rotation amount corresponding to the let-off length from the diameter of the pile warp beam 3, and drives the pile warp beam 3 by the determined rotation amount.
  • the rotation control of the drive motor 25 and that of the let-off motor 36 are normally performed selectively. However, both the rotation control of the drive motor 25 and that of the let-off motor 36 may be performed in parallel at a predetermined rotation amount ratio.
  • the loosening-amount control circuit 52 gradually rotates the drive motor 25 in the reverse direction. Accordingly, the pile-warp tension is gradually increased until the number of warp-stop signals is reduced to one, that is, until an adequate loosened state is obtained.
  • the loosening-amount control circuit 52 determines the cause of stoppage from the cause signal. Then, the loosening-amount control circuit 52 moves the tension roller 5 forward by rotating the drive motor 25 by the rotation amount corresponding to the weft stop, the manual stop, or the automatic stop on the basis of the settings of the rotation-amount setter 59.
  • the operator After repairing, the operator operates the activation button 51 to activate the main controller 50, and the pile loom 1 is restarted accordingly.
  • the main controller 50 restarts the pile loom 1, the weaving process is restarted after the pile-warp tension is set to a tension that is equal to or slightly lower than the tension applied during operation.
  • the loosening amount is set for each cause of stoppage, i.e., the warp stop, the weft stop, the manual stop caused by the stop button, and the automatic stop.
  • the loosening amount may be set as follows. That is, the drive motor 25 is rotated clockwise in Figs. 7 and 8 by 1/10 turns from the stopped state for the weft stop and by 1/20 turns from the stopped state for the stoppage caused by the stop button or the automatic counter.
  • the drive motor 25 is rotated clockwise in Figs. 7 and 8 by 1/10 turns from the stopped state and the let-off motor 36 is rotated in the let-off direction to let off the pile warp yarns by 20 mm.
  • the loosening amount (loosening length) for the weft stop is set to be smaller than the loosening length (loosening length) for the warp stop.
  • the signal representing the position (amount of rotation) of the encoder 58 that is connected to the drive motor 25 may also be input to the loosening-amount control circuit 52.
  • the loosening-amount control circuit 52 may calculate the displacement of the tension roller 5 from a reference position on the basis of the received signal.
  • the loosening amount may be set indirectly as a position of the tension roller 5 with respect to the reference position for each cause of stoppage.
  • the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible.
  • the present invention is not limited to cloth-shifting pile looms, and may also be applied to pile looms of the type in which the beat-up position is shifted.
  • the cloth guide roller 16 may be moved until the predetermined warp tension is obtained or by a predetermined distance, thereby moving the cloth fell 10 toward the let-off side.
  • the movement of the cloth guide roller 16 can be performed when the cloth guide roller 16 is driven by a dedicated actuator.
