Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drive and a method for driving a gripper carrier for a bringer gripper and a gripper carrier for a taker gripper by means of a drive, which comprises a common drive motor for two drive mechanisms and two drive wheels each driven by an associated drive mechanism for a gripper carrier, wherein the gripper carriers are driven so that the bringer gripper and the taker gripper each reciprocate between an outer reversing point situated outside the shed and an inner reversing point situated inside the shed.
  • a drive mechanism for a gripper carrier is known.
  • the drive wheel for the gripper carrier for the bringer gripper and the drive wheel for the gripper carrier for the taker gripper carry out a so-called "symmetrical" movement, in which the bringer gripper and the taker gripper move towards one another in the opposite direction, wherein the bringer gripper and the taker gripper meet one another approximately in the center of the shed and wherein the bringer gripper and the taker gripper subsequently move away from one another again in the opposite direction.
  • a gripper carrier may, for example, consist of a gripper band or of a gripper bar.
  • the object of the invention is to improve an abovementioned method in such a manner that an "asymmetrical" movement by a bringer gripper and a taker gripper is maintained without independent drive motors having to be provided for this purpose and wherein the bringer gripper and the taker gripper may insert a weft thread at a relatively low speed.
  • This object is achieved in that, with respect to the weaving cycle, the outer reversing point of the bringer gripper is ahead of the outer reversing point of the taker gripper.
  • the expression "with respect to the weaving cycle” is intended to mean with respect to the movement path of the weaving machine as a function of time, more particularly with respect to the successive- sive angular positions of the weaving machine which are determined by the successive angular positions of the common drive motor.
  • the invention not only has the advantage that a drive is provided with a common drive motor for the bringer gripper and the taker gripper, but also that the bringer gripper can enter the shed slower and that the taker gripper can leave the shed slower.
  • the movements of the bringer gripper and of the taker gripper are be dephased to such an extent that the outer reversing point of the bringer gripper is ahead of the outer reversing point of the taker gripper by several machine degrees.
  • the bringer gripper does not necessarily enter the shed sooner and the taker gripper does not necessarily leave the shed later.
  • the invention is particularly advantageous if the weaving machine is set to weave at maxi- munn weaving width, more particularly if weaving takes place at virtually the maximum weaving width.
  • the method according to the invention allows, when the weaving machine weaves at a certain speed, to move the bringer gripper and the taker gripper at a relatively low speed at a certain weaving width when they insert a weft thread, which is particularly advantageous when weaving at relatively large weaving widths.
  • the object of the invention is achieved in that, at least at a setting for maximum weaving width, with respect to the weaving cycle, the outer reversing point of the bringer gripper is ahead of the outer reversing point of the taker gripper.
  • the gripper carrier for the bringer gripper and the gripper carrier for the taker gripper are driven at a variable speed by the common drive motor of the drive during their movements into the shed and out of the shed, wherein with respect to the weaving cycle, the bringer gripper is accelerated less after the outer reversing point than after the inner reversing point and wherein, with respect to the weaving cycle, the taker gripper is accelerated more after the outer reversing point than after the inner reversing point.
  • a movement into the shed is intended to mean that the bringer gripper and/or the taker gripper move towards the inner reversing point
  • the expression “a movement out of the shed” is intended to mean that the bringer gripper and/or the taker gripper move towards the outer reversing point.
  • This method is particularly advantageous since it allows to initially accelerate a bringer gripper less while picking up a weft thread which is held ready outside the shed in order to subsequently move at a higher speed in the shed. In this case, the bringer gripper moves relatively slowly during picking up of a weft thread and the taker gripper moves relatively slowly during the release of a weft thread.
  • the inner reversing point of the taker gripper is ahead of the inner reversing point of the bringer gripper.
  • the gripper car- rier for the bringer gripper and the gripper carrier for the taker gripper are driven at variable speed by a common drive motor of the drive during their movements into the shed and out of the shed, wherein with respect to the weaving cycle, the bringer gripper before its inner reversing point and the taker gripper after its inner reversing point move in the same direction over a distance.
  • the outer reversing point of the bringer gripper is situated several machine degrees before the beat-up and the outer reversing point of the taker gripper is situated several machine degrees after the beat-up.
  • the term "beat-up" in this case is intended to mean the moment during the weaving cycle, more particularly, the angular position of the weaving machine wherein a weft thread is beaten-up by the weaving reed that is driven by the sley.
  • machine degrees is in this case intended to mean the degrees of the weaving machine which are determined by the drive motor and which, for one weaving cycle, vary successively between 0° and 360°.
  • the bringer gripper leaves the shed a number of machine degrees before beat-up and the bringer gripper enters the shed a number of, for example the same number of, machine degrees after beat-up, while the outer reversing point of the bringer gripper is situated several machine degrees before beat-up.
  • the taker gripper leaves the shed a number of machine degrees before beat-up and the taker gripper enters the shed within a number of, for example the same number of, machine degrees after beat-up, while the outer reversing point of the taker gripper is situated several machine degrees after beat-up.
  • the bringer gripper and the taker gripper can enter the shed as early as possible and can also leave the shed as late as possible, wherein a required average speed of the bringer gripper and/or of the taker gripper is relatively low for a given speed of the weaving machine, that is to say at a given number of insertions per unit time.
  • a drive for a gripper carrier for a bringer gripper and for a gripper carrier for a taker gripper which drive comprises a common drive motor for two drive mechanisms and two drive wheels for a gripper carrier which are each driven by an associated drive mechanism, wherein each drive mechanism comprises a crank which drives a fork element, wherein the fork element and a cross element are mounted rotatably with respect to one another via a shaft, wherein the cross element is connected to a toothed segment which drives a drive wheel for a gripper carrier and which, together with the cross element, is mounted rotatably with respect to a frame of the drive mechanism, wherein the cross element and the frame of the drive mechanism are mounted ro- tatably with respect to one another via a shaft which is arranged transversely to the shaft by means of which the fork element and the cross element are mounted rotatably with respect to one another, wherein each crank is driven in a rotationally fixed manner by the common drive motor at a certain
  • the adjusting according to the invention of the angles between each crank and associated fork element, of the angles between the two shafts assigned to each cross element and of the angular positions in which each crank is driven with respect to the common drive motor results in the advantage of an asymmetrical gripper movement being achieved with a common drive motor, wherein the bringer gripper and the taker gripper are still able to insert a weft thread in a shed at a relatively low speed and with relatively low accelerations. This is particularly advantageous when the weaving machine weaves at high speeds and with large weaving widths.
  • the two shafts assigned to the cross element are fitted on the cross element, more particularly are formed as a single part with the cross element.
  • a drive having a common drive motor for two drive wheels driven by an associated drive mechanism allows both drive wheels to be moved with respect to the weaving cycle as a function of the angular position of the drive motor and as a function of the properties of the drive mechanism according to the invention.
  • the expression "driven in a rotationally fixed manner" is intended to mean that the course of the angular position of the drive mechanism is determined by the course of the angular position of the drive motor.
  • the two shafts assigned to the cross element are arranged at an angle with respect to one another which deviates by a few angular degrees from 90°, i.e. the shaft by means of which the fork element and the cross element are mounted rotatably with respect to one another forms an angle which deviates from 90° with the shaft, by means of which the cross element and the frame for the drive mechanism are mounted rotatably with respect to one another, in such a manner that, with respect to the weaving cycle, the bringer gripper is accelerated less after the outer reversing point than after the inner reversing point and that the taker gripper is accelerated more after the outer reversing point than after the inner reversing point.
  • the two shafts assigned to the cross element are arranged at an angle with respect to one another which devi- ates by a few angular degrees from 90° and/or the angular positions of the cranks of the drive mechanisms are set with respect to the angular position of the drive motor in such a manner that, with respect to the weaving cycle, the gripper carrier for the bringer gripper and the gripper carrier for the taker gripper are driven at variable speed by the drive during their movements into the shed and out of the shed, wherein with respect to the weaving cycle, the bringer gripper before its inner reversing point and the taker gripper after its inner reversing point move over a distance in the same direction.
  • the two shafts assigned to the cross element are arranged at an angle with respect to one another which deviates by a few angular degrees from 90° and/or the angular positions of the cranks of the drive mechanisms are set with respect to the angular position of the drive motor in such a manner that, with respect to the weaving cycle, the inner reversing point of the taker gripper is ahead of the inner reversing point of the bringer gripper.
  • the two shafts assigned to the cross element are arranged at an angle with respect to one another which deviates by a few angular degrees from 90° and/or the angular positions of the cranks of the drive mechanisms are set with respect to the angular position of the drive motor in such a manner that the outer reversing point of the bringer gripper is situated several machine degrees before beat-up and that the outer reversing point of the taker gripper is situated several machine degrees after beat-up.
  • the two shafts assigned to the cross element are arranged at an angle of approximately 4° displaced with respect to an angle of 90°.
  • the shaft by means of which the fork element and the associated crank are mounted rotatably with respect to one another, forms an angle which deviates by a few angular degrees from 45°, for example an angle of approximately 48°, with the shaft by means of which the cross element and the fork element are mounted ro- tatably with respect to one another.

  • Such a meshing position may, for example, be changed by displacing a gear wheel 8, 9 axially with respect to the drive shaft 7 until the teeth of the gear wheel 8, 9 no longer mesh with teeth of a gear wheel 12, 26, and by subsequently allowing the teeth of the gear wheel 8, 9 to mesh with other teeth of a gear wheel 12, 26.
  • Such adjust- ments can be carried out in such a manner that the features of the claims are met.
  • Figure 13 shows a variant for weaving at a more limited weaving width.
  • the position of the crank 28 with respect to the bearing half 19 is adjusted in such a way that, with respect to the movement course according to the setting of Figure 1 1 , the movement course 46 along which the taker gripper 5 is moved is reduced.
  • this results in the fact that, with respect to the weaving cycle, the outer reversing point I of the bringer gripper 3 is less ahead of the outer reversing point III of the taker gripper 5 than in the embodiment according to Figure 1 1 .
  • the angle by which the outer reversing point I of the bringer gripper 3 is ahead of the outer reversing point III of the taker gripper 5 can be increased again by suitably setting the angular positions of at least one of the cranks 13, 28 with respect to the angular position of the drive motor 6, for example by attaching the gear wheels 8 or 9 on the drive shaft 7 at a suitable angular position.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for use with relatively wide weaving machines and with weaving machines wherein the bringer gripper 3 and/or the taker gripper 4 are opened positively during gripping, changeover or release of the weft thread.
  • This positive opening can be carried out with devices which act on the clamp of a respective bringer gripper 3 or taker gripper 5.
  • Such devices are known, inter alia, from GB 2059455 and EP 0526390 A1 .
  • the drive 1 according to the invention has the particular advantage that the speed and the acceleration of the bringer gripper 3 are relatively limited during gripping of a weft thread.
  • the speed and the acceleration of the taker gripper 5 can be relatively limited during the release of the weft thread.
  • the drive 1 according to the invention allows the bringer gripper 3 and the taker gripper 5 to move in the same direction and at virtually the same speed for a certain period of time during the changeover, more particularly allows them to perform an overlapping movement, there is sufficient time available to changeover a weft thread in a satisfac- tory manner from the bringer gripper 3 to the taker gripper 5.
  • the bringer gripper 3 and the taker gripper 5 are more accelerated and/or slowed down when they do not cooperate with the weft thread than when they do cooperate with the weft thread, which allows to insert weft threads into a shed 29 at a reduced tension.
  • the taker gripper 5 has smaller dimensions than the bringer gripper 3, the taker gripper 5 can enter the shed 29, for example, sooner than the bringer gripper 3 and during opening of the shed 29. In this case, the taker gripper 5 can also leave the shed 29 later than the bringer gripper 3 and during the closing of the shed 29.
  • the taker gripper 5 can enter the shed 29, for example, sooner than the bringer gripper 3 and while the weaving reed is moving away from the beat-up line 32. In this case, the taker gripper 5 can also leave the shed 29 later than the bringer gripper 3 and while the weaving reed is moving towards the beat-up line 32.
  • a weaving machine allows that, at a cer- tain speed of the weaving machine, the taker gripper 5 moves through the shed 29 over a larger movement course than the movement course with which the bringer gripper 3 moves through the shed 29, while both the bringer gripper 3 and the taker gripper 5, on average, move at a lower speed through the shed 29 when they are inserting a weft thread into the shed 29 than when they move through the shed 29 without a weft thread.
