Definitions

  • the invention relates to the method of weaving with increased crossing of warp, in which shed is created in two synchronised sectors (IZ, SZ), out of which in the first, pulse sector (IZ), the warp threads are separated into branches according to the specified pattern of weaving, and in the second, force sector (SZ), an increased crossing of warp branches separated in pulse sector (IZ) is performed, whereas activity in both sectors (IZ, SZ) is performed for every one working cycle, is running continuously and is mutually synchronised in every working cycle.
  • the invention further relates to the weaving loom for weaving with increased crossing of warp comprising the warp beam with package of warp threads, device for shed creating, loose weaving reed, device for inserting of weft into shed and cloth roller for winding of fabric, while device for creating of shed comprises the device of pulse sector for separation of warp threads into branches and device of force sector for realisation of increased crossing of warp, while both devices are driven synchronously.
  • Forming of the fabric is a force process, in result of which the inserted weft pushes into the wedge spacing between the pre-stressed warp threads and it is crossed by warp threads until the required interlacing structure is achieved.
  • the resistance of warp threads against deformation must be overcome (wave and elongation of thread elements) as well as the frictional resistance among the threads. Collectively these forces are called weaving resistance. This resistance must be overcome by an active force, usually by a beating force, which is created by mutual acting of weaving reed and fabric face due to drawing of the system fabric - warp.
  • the drag force is acting, whose value is proportional to the value of nominal axial force in the thread and value of crossing angle.
  • This angle depending on the sett and thread fineness, may reach the values up to 60°.
  • the crossing angle is nearly zero and also in the phase of maximum opening of the shed, it reaches the values less than 15°.
  • the weft is being pushed out from the fabric as a result of unbalanced elastic forces in the fabric and warp.
  • the only and not always effective means to overcome the weaving resistance and weaving-in the weft are the beating force and friction between threads.
  • Literature discloses a theory, that the possible way for inducing a force effect upon the weft during its forcing into warp threads is so called excessive crossing of warp threads.
  • the basic force in warp threads may thanks to distribution in force polygon create a component, which overcomes the weaving resistance and will form the fabric.
  • the pressure force will obtain the values which are similar to the beating force.
  • the weaving reed may have a lower lifting, because the area for weft insertion thanks to opening of warp may occur close to beating point. Reduction in dimensions of weaving reed means reduction of weight upon preserving or increasing its rigidity.
  • From EP 573 132 is known a method of weaving with increased crossing of warp, in which a shed for one working cycle is created in two synchronized sectors, out of which in the first, pulse sector, the warp threads are separated into branches according to the specified pattern of weaving, and in second, force sector, an increased crossing of warp branches separated in pulse sector is performed, wherein the separating of the warp threads into branches in the pulse sector and the increased crossing of the warp in the force sector is performed for every one working cycle. Without the auxiliary shedding bar the shuttle cannot be inserted into the shed. The space for weft insertion is created while the activity in both sectors is running continuously and is mutually synchronised in every working cycle.
  • the auxiliary shedding bar for increased crossing of the warp is inserted in the shed only during inserting of the weft and not during the beating motion of the reed, the auxiliary shedding bar can thus not assist in overcoming weaving resistance.
  • the goal of the invention is to enable overcoming of weaving resistance during the beat-up of the weft thread during weaving with increased crossing of warp.
  • the goal of the invention has been reached through the method of weaving with increased crossing of warp, whose principle consists in that the by separating of the warp threads into branches in pulse sector and by increased crossing of warp in force sector is except creating the space for weft insertion the weaving resistance overcome.
  • the principle of weaving loom for weaving with increased warp crossing consists in that, the device of force sector comprises separation unit with vertical lamellas having spacing between each other, at the same time to the separation unit there is assigned the gripper of warp threads of each branch of the shed, which is provided with catching means of warp threads of each of branches of the shed, while the catching means of warp threads are reversibly adjustable in vertical direction.
  • This machine enables weaving with increased crossing of the warp.
  • the invention is schematically shown in the drawing, where the Fig. 1 represents one exemplary embodiment of weaving loom for weaving with increased crossing of warp, the Fig. 2 another exemplary embodiment of weaving loom for weaving with increased crossing of warp, the Fig. 3 exemplary embodiment of gripper for realisation of second phase of shed with increased crossing of warp, and the Fig. 4 represents schematic arrangement of the shed according to the invention.
  • the weaving method with increased crossing of warp is such, that creating of shed for each working cycle of weaving loom is divided into two sectors IZ , SZ , out of which in the first sector, which in further text will be designated as pulse sector IZ , a separation of warp threads into branches according to the specified weaving pattern is performed, and in the second sector, which in further text will be designated as force sector SZ , an increased crossing into branches of separated warp threads is performed, at the same time the activity in both sectors IZ , SZ is running constantly and mutually synchronously.
  • Angle of opening of threads in pulse sector IZ in example of embodiment represented in the Fig.
  • weaving loom for weaving with increased crossing of warp will be described on an example of embodiment of several weaving looms, which comprise some identical or similar assemblies and some different assemblies. Arrangement of weaving loom is known for a specialist, so individual parts of the machine, which are not directly connected with the present invention, will not be described.
  • the represented weaving loom comprises pulse sector IZ , which in the represented example of embodiment is realised by a conventional device for shed creation, which is either of cam or shaft type.
  • the device forming the pulse sector IZ is formed by another suitable device for separation of warp threads into branches according to the prescribed pattern of weaving, e.g. it is formed by non-conventional separation or shedding mechanism of suitable parameters.
  • the weaving loom with pulse sector IZ formed by shaft shedding mechanism comprises a system of weaving shafts 2 , whose straight-lined reversible motion is secured by a shedding mechanism, as a rule by a cam shedding mechanism, whose activity is controlled by a controlling device.
  • the weaving shafts are in a known manner provided with healds 1 , 1' , which comprise the known eyelets 1a , 1a' , through which the warp threads 1b , 1b' are passing on their way between the not represented warp beam and the not represented cloth roller.
  • the weaving reed 1c In the direction X from the warp beam there is behind the pulse sector IZ , i.e. in the represented example of embodiment behind the weaving shafts 2 situated the weaving reed 1c , which is provided by a row of known dents having space between one another, while the warp threads are passing through the weaving reed 1c through space between the dents.
  • the weaving reed 1c is positioned on a reversibly adjustable slay 1d , which in the example of embodiment in the Fig. 1 is formed by a spring parallelogram connected with a cam drive or in an example of embodiment in the Fig. 2 it comprises reversibly rotatably mounted shaft with blowing nozzles etc.
  • the slay 1d may be created in another suitable manner, which nevertheless is not decisive for the principle of the invention itself.
  • the known not represented device for weft insertion into the shed 1e In the direction X from the warp beam behind the pulse sector IZ , i.e. in the represented example of embodiment behind the weaving reed 1c, there is situated the known not represented device for weft insertion into the shed 1e .
  • the weft inserted into the shed 1e after then during weaving is transported by a weaving reed 1c on the slay 1d into the face 1f of fabric 1g , which is gradually wound on the not represented cloth roller.
  • the warp threads 1b , 1b' are passing between the weaving reed 1c and pulse sector IZ , i.e. in represented example of embodiment through weaving shafts 2 , between the force sector SZ , in which on the warp threads separated into branches the increased crossing of warp is realised.
  • the force sector SZ is realised by means of separation unit 11 and gripper 8 .
  • the separation unit 11 in the represented example of embodiment comprises a system of stationary parallel vertical lamellas 12 , whose pitch need not be the same as pitch of dents of weaving reed 1c or pitch of healds 1 , 1' , so that through one space between the lamellas 12 even several warp threads may pass.
  • Lamellas 12 of separation unit 11 in a section corresponding to lifting of warp threads 1b , 1b' by acting of device of pulse sector IZ are sloped towards the vertical direction, so that the warp threads 1b , 1b' being lifted or dropped by device of pulse sector IZ by acting of lamellas 12 of the separation unit 11 are simultaneously moving into sides, e.g.
  • warp threads 1b , 1b' being lifted or dropped by device of pulse sector IZ by acting of lamellas 12 of separation unit 11 in the first phase of shed creation move traverse towards direction of the shed creation to the same side.
  • warp threads 1b , 1b' Due to the side separation motion of warp threads 1b , 1b' induced by the device of pulse sector IZ and by separation unit 11 the warp threads 1b of upper part of shed are shifting e.g. upwards to the right towards the shaft shedding mechanism, while the warp threads 1b' of lower part of shed are shifting e.g. downwards to the left towards the shaft shedding mechanism.
  • the catching means of gripper 8 are assigned, which catch the warp threads 1b , 1b' for realisation of increased crossing of warp.
  • the gripper 8 is coupled with driving device, which constantly and with required frequency and phase towards the device of pulse sector IZ realises the required lifting function. Thanks to this the gripper 8 is able to realise an increased crossing of warp in the force sector SZ accurately according to the time schedule corresponding to co-operation with other parts of the loom, especially with the device of pulse sector IZ and its lifting function.
  • the gripper 8 may to the separation beam 11 be assigned either from the side of weaving reed 1c , as represented in the Fig. 1 , or from the side of pulse sector IZ , as represented in the Fig. 2 .
  • the gripper 8 with straight-lined reversible motion.
  • the gripper 8 comprises a pair of bars 14 with cuts 15 , inlet openings 16 and retaining hooks 17 .
  • the cuts 15 , inlet openings 16 and hooks 17 correspond to the spacing between lamellas 12 of separation unit 11 and enable catching of warp threads of respective branch of shed on the hooks 17 .
  • the bars 14 are coupled with the straight-lined reversible drive, which provides for a continuous motion of bars 14 upwards and downwards with the required frequency, phase and amplitude.
  • the gripper 8 with rotation reversible motion when on a pair of reversible rotating shafts 18 are mounted the catching means 18a of warp threads 1b, 1b' separated by a device of pulse sector IZ and shifted to the side by the separation unit 11 .
  • the shafts 18 are coupled with rotating reversible drive, which ensures continuous reversible motion of shafts 18 with required frequency, phase and amplitude.
  • the separation unit 11 is situated in direction of warp threads from pulse sector IZ with healds 1 only after the gripper 8 .
  • Lifting functions of device of pulse sector IZ and device of force sector SZ are mutually synchronised so that, the device of pulse sector IZ and the device of force sector SZ continuously execute their lifting function with desired frequencies, phases and amplitudes.
