Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a technique for efficiently dewatering a woven cloth that is wetted during weft insertion in a water jet loom that performs weft insertion by water jet.
  • a weft yarn is inserted into a warp shed with a water jet during weft insertion.
  • the ejected water falls in the form of water drops and infiltrates through the surface of a woven cloth and into spaces between yarns in the woven cloth.
  • a device which includes a dewatering pipe having a suction hole and arranged on a take-up path of the woven cloth is known (see, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 55-12878 (Fig. 1) and Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Registration Application Publication No. 61-33889 (Figs. 1 and 2)).
  • an airflow toward the suction hole is generated by setting the pressure in the dewatering pipe to a negative pressure, and accordingly the woven cloth is dewatered.
  • the degree of vacuum in the dewatering pipe is considerably reduced due to the airflow.
  • the moisture that soaks into the structure of the woven cloth, that is, into the spaces between the warp and weft yarns cannot be sufficiently removed. Thus, sufficient dewatering cannot be performed.
  • the airflow must pass through the spaces between the yarns in the woven cloth, and this functions as a resistance to the airflow and reduces the amount of airflow.
  • a region in which an airflow strong enough to suck in the water can be generated is limited to a small region around the suction hole.
  • the water drops on the surface of the woven cloth are also caused to pass through the spaces in the woven cloth.
  • the speed of operation of water jet looms has been increased and the time period in which the woven cloth passes by the suction hole has been reduced accordingly. Therefore, the present inventors suspect that moisture cannot be sufficiently sucked in in such a short time.
  • the amount of airflow must be increased by increasing the degree of negative pressure.
  • the woven cloth is strongly pulled by the suction hole when the woven cloth slides along the suction pipe, and therefore there is a risk that the woven cloth will be damaged.
  • the capacity of a suction blower that functions as a negative-pressure source is increased. Accordingly, power consumption is increased and energy is wasted accordingly.
  • the present invention relates to a technique for dewatering a woven cloth that is wetted during weft insertion and an object of the present invention is to efficiently remove moisture from the woven cloth without increasing energy consumption of a negative-pressure source.
  • the present invention is applied to a dewatering device for a water jet loom including a dewatering pipe disposed on a take-up path of a woven cloth and having a suction hole that extends in a weaving width direction and that comes into contact with the woven cloth and a sheet disposed so as to externally cover the suction hole and having a sheet surface that comes into contact with the woven cloth, wherein the woven cloth is dewatered by causing the woven cloth to pass by the suction hole while the pressure in the dewatering pipe is set to a negative pressure.
  • guide walls are provided on at least one of an outer peripheral portion of the dewatering pipe and the sheet surface of the sheet, the guide walls being arranged in the weaving width direction with intervals therebetween and extending in a direction that intersects the weaving width direction over a section that is included in a section where the dewatering pipe and the woven cloth come into contact with each other and that extends from a position on the upstream or downstream of the suction hole to at least a position in front of and near the suction hole.
  • the outer peripheral portion of the dewatering pipe or the sheet on which the guide walls are provided is arranged such that top portions of the guide walls come into contact with the woven cloth and the guide walls are provided such that the pressure in flow-guiding passages defined by the adjacent guide walls is set to a negative pressure.
  • a sheet for assisting a process of dewatering a woven cloth in a water jet loom is disposed such that the sheet extends in a weaving width direction and externally covers a suction hole formed in a dewatering pipe and extending in the weaving width direction.
  • the sheet has a sheet surface which comes into contact with the woven cloth and on which guide walls are provided, the guide walls being arranged in the weaving width direction with intervals therebetween and extending in a direction that intersects the weaving width direction over a section that is included in a section where the dewatering pipe and the woven cloth come into contact with each other and that extends from a position on the upstream or downstream of the suction hole to at least a position in front of and near the suction hole.
  • At least one of the outer peripheral portion of the dewatering pipe and the sheet surface of the sheet that comes into contact with the woven cloth is provided with multiple flow-guiding passages arranged in the weaving width direction and defined by the adjacent guide walls over the section from the position on the upstream or downstream of the suction hole to at least the position in front of and near the suction hole.
  • the pressure in the dewatering pipe is set to a negative pressure, and accordingly an airflow that flows from the flow-guiding passages into the suction hole is generated. Since the flow-guiding passages are open toward the woven cloth, water drops on the surface of the woven cloth are discharged through the flow-guiding passages and the suction hole together with the generated airflow. Accordingly, compared to the conventional structure, the amount of dewatering from the woven cloth can be increased.
  • the range of "negative pressure" is broader than a so-called vacuum pressure, and refers to a pressure lower than the ambient or atmospheric pressure.
  • the pressure in the flow-guiding passages is directly or indirectly set to a negative pressure by the airflow that flows into the suction hole. Accordingly, the water drops on the surface of the woven cloth and the water drops infiltrated in the structure of the woven cloth are sucked out into the flow-guiding passages due to the influence of the negative pressure, carried through the suction hole by the airflow, and are thus removed.
  • the flow-guiding passages that are open toward the woven cloth and that have a negative pressure as described above serve a function of sucking out the infiltrated water drops from the woven cloth, similar to the suction hole.
  • the suction section for the woven cloth is substantially increased and the period in which the negative pressure is applied to the woven cloth can be increased compared to the conventional structure. As a result, the amount of dewatering of the woven cloth can be increased.
  • the negative pressure in the flow-guiding passages is strong enough to suck out the water drops and the infiltrated water from the woven cloth. Therefore, unlike the conventional structure, the woven cloth can be dewatered to a desired extent without increasing the degree of vacuum in the dewatering pipe. Accordingly, the capacity of the suction blower that functions as a negative pressure source can be reduced. As a result, power consumption of the suction blower can be reduced and energy can be saved.
  • the guide walls are provided on one or both of the outer peripheral portion of the dewatering pipe and the sheet surface of the sheet that comes into contact with the woven cloth.
  • the intersecting angle ⁇ 1 between the direction in which the guide walls extend and the direction in which the suction hole extends is preferably set equal or close to 90°. More specifically, the intersecting angle ⁇ 1 is preferably set within several tens of degrees more or less than 90°.

  • the column 'overall evaluation' shows the result of evaluation in which the overall performance is graded into three levels by taking the weave quality and power consumption of the suction blower into account in addition to the degree of dewatering.
  • the degree of dewatering was insufficient when the sheet A was used together with either of the commonly used suction blowers.
  • the degree of dewatering satisfied the weaving factory criterion when the sheet B was used together with either of the suction blowers.
  • the degree of dewatering that satisfy the weaving factory criterion was obtained even when a small suction blower with the power of 400 W was used.
  • an airflow strong enough to remove moisture from the woven cloth 7 can be generated in the flow-guiding passages without increasing the load. Therefore, the capacity of the suction blower that functions as a negative pressure source can be reduced. As a result, power consumption of the suction blower can be reduced and energy can be saved.
  • the end point v is positioned such that the suction hole 11 is positioned between the end point v and the start point u in the above-described embodiment.
  • the present invention is not limited to this, and the end point v may also be positioned within the section corresponding to the suction hole 11 or in front of and near the suction hole 11 (position x shown in Fig. 3).
  • the position x can be adequately set such that an airflow can be generated in the flow-guiding passages 38 due to the negative pressure in the hollow section 12. According to the research performed by the present inventors, the position x is limited to within several millimeters from the suction hole 11 by several millimeters, as shown in Fig. 3.
  • the section e in which the guide walls 36 are not formed is provided on the downstream of the section c1 and the section c2 in which the guide walls 36 are separated from the woven cloth 7.
  • this section e may also be omitted depending on the kind of the woven cloth and the performance of the suction blower.
  • the guide walls 36 may also be formed so as to extend beyond the section b in which the sheet surface 35 and the woven cloth 7 are in contact with each other.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the guide walls is not limited to the semicircular shape shown in Figs. 5 to 7, and may also be, for example, a polygonal (triangular, rectangular, etc.) shape or other shapes.
  • the guide walls 36 are formed so as to extend linearly along an axial line corresponding to the intersection angle ⁇ 1 in Fig. 4, the guide walls 36 may also be formed so as to curve, that is, such that the intersection angle ⁇ 1 varies along the moving direction of the woven cloth, as shown in Fig. 9.
  • the guide walls 36 are formed continuously over the section c in Fig. 4, the guide walls 36 may also be formed intermittently in the moving direction of the woven cloth 7 so that multiple guide walls 36 are arranged with spaces 40 provided therebetween, as shown in Fig. 10.
  • shield portions 41 for blocking the airflow may be provided in some of the flow-guiding passages to reduce the amount of airflow.
  • each of the flow-guiding passages 38 formed between the adjacent guide walls 36 has a directionality different from that of the flow-guiding passage 38 adjacent thereto.
  • the guide walls may also be formed on the outer peripheral portion of the suction pipe 13, as shown in Fig. 13.
  • grooves 47 that intersect the extending direction of the suction hole 11 (i.e., direction perpendicular to the page) at the angle ⁇ 1 and that extend in a circumferential direction over the section c are formed such that the section c includes the suction hole 11.
  • the grooves 47 are arranged in the weaving width direction.
  • the grooves 47 directly function as flow-guiding passages 46 and the separating wall portions between the adjacent grooves 47 function as guide walls 45.
  • the flow-guiding passages 46 communicate with the suction hole 11 at one end thereof. Therefore, the pressure in the flow-guiding passages 46 is directly set to a negative pressure due to the airflow that flows into the suction hole 11, and the flow-guiding passages 46 that are open toward the woven cloth 7 function similarly to the suction hole 11. Therefore, the area of the suction section for the woven cloth 7 is substantially increased and the amount of dewatering of the woven cloth 7 is increased.
  • the modifications of the guide walls described in the first embodiment may also be applied to the structure of the second embodiment.
  • first and second embodiments may also be modified as below.
  • guide walls and the flow-guiding passages formed therebetween are provided in only one of the sheet 30 and the outer peripheral portion of the suction pipe 13 in the above-described embodiments, they may also be provided in both of the sheet 30 and the outer peripheral portion of the suction pipe 13.
  • a portion of the section c on the upstream of the suction hole 11 is longer than a portion of the section c on the downstream of the suction hole 11.
  • the portion on the downstream may also be longer than the portion on the upstream.
  • the positions of the sections c2 and e with respect to the section c1 may also be reversed in the front-rear direction. In such a case, the sheet 30 is separated from the woven cloth 7 in the section c2 located on the downstream of the suction hole 11 and the top portions 35a are in contact with the woven cloth 7 in the section e located on the upstream of the suction hole 11.
  • the shape of the suction pipe 13 is not limited to the cylindrical shape as described in the above two embodiments.
  • the present invention can also be applied to a dewatering device including a suction pipe having recesses or projections on the outer peripheral surface thereof to increase the efficiency in dewatering the woven cloth along the outer peripheral surface of the suction pipe.
  • a dewatering device according to the present invention may also be obtained by attaching the sheet 30 according to the first embodiment to such a device.
  • a plurality of kinds of sheets 30 or suction pipes 13 having guide walls (flow-guiding passages) of which the above-described parameters differ from each other may be prepared and selectively attached in accordance with the weave specification.
  • the present invention may be applied to water jet looms in which weft insertion is performed by inserting a weft yarn into a warp shed with water jets and which include dewatering devices for removing water drops from a woven cloth which is wetted during weft insertion.
