Definitions

  • the invention relates to a warp knitting machine with at least two main shafts, each of which controls at least one bar arrangement.
  • the main shafts are rotated and drive, for example via a crank mechanism, in each case at least one bar, but as a rule a plurality of bars, knitting tools being fastened to the bars.
  • a crank mechanism can have several sections distributed over the length of the bars.
  • the main shafts In a warp knitting machine having more than one main shaft, the main shafts must be driven with some dependence on each other. This is currently solved via a transmission device which establishes a connection between the main shafts.
  • the transmission device in many cases has a belt which transmits the rotational movement from one main shaft to another main shaft.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a warp knitting machine with high productivity.
  • each main shaft is in drive connection with its own drive motor.
  • Each main shaft is thus driven by its own drive motor, so that a transmission device between two or more main shafts can be omitted. Accordingly, there is no negative effect on the transmission device due to a load change.
  • By using their own drive motors for the respective main shafts a smooth running of the warp knitting machine is possible, which then allows an increase in the line warp knitting machine. This is true even if at least one main shaft controls the associated bar assembly via a crank mechanism, which is a possible embodiment. You can not only increase the production speed, ie the speed of the main shafts, but also use longer main shafts, resulting in a larger working width.
  • At least one drive motor is arranged coaxially with the main shaft assigned to it.
  • a lateral load between the main shaft and the associated drive motor, as they occur for example when driven by belts or chains would, avoid.
  • the load on the bearings of the shaft of the drive motor and the respective main shaft remains low.
  • the life is increased.
  • the space requirement can be reduced.
  • No space for the respective drive motor is required laterally next to the main shafts so that, if appropriate, other auxiliary units of the warp knitting machine can be accommodated here.
  • the connection of the respective drive motor is machine dynamic through the positioning on the main shaft axis.
  • each drive motor acts directly on the main shaft assigned to it.
  • a direct connection means that the drive motor is connected to the main shaft without translation. The speed of the drive motor is thus transferred 1: 1 to the main shaft. Between the drive motor and the main shaft so no moving parts are available that could wear out.
  • each drive motor has a rotor, wherein at least one rotor is mounted on the main shaft associated with the drive motor.
  • at least one rotor is mounted on the main shaft associated with the drive motor.
  • the main shaft extends through the rotor with a shaft section.
  • the rotor may have a through-hole, so that the respective main shaft protrudes on both sides of the engine and results in a motor with two shaft ends. It is then possible, for example, to use a bearingless motor because the bearings can be made via the main shaft or its shaft section.
  • At least one drive motor is arranged eccentrically to the main shaft assigned to it.
  • the drive motor can be connected to the main shaft via a gear stage.
  • the drive motors are connected to a common control device.
  • the control device ensures that the drive motors drive the respective main shafts so that the rotational movements of the main shafts match each other.
  • the warp knitting machine is designed as a double-sided warp knitting machine, as used for making plush or spacer knit, one needs a sufficiently accurate assignment of the movements of the individual bars, which are responsible for the production of the basic knit and for the leadership of the spacer or plush yarns are.
  • the control device also has the advantage that it can electronically optimize the acceleration and force curves of the main shafts during a main shaft rotation, so that this has a positive influence on the entire machine dynamics. Regulated dynamics allow higher engine speeds. Furthermore, a thread-saving stitch formation is possible. Depending on the different command conditions, dynamics can be optimized, especially for double-contoured machines, and any vibrations that occur can thereby be minimized or even completely avoided.
  • control device has an electronic transmission.
  • the electronic transmission allows the main shafts to be driven at different speeds, with speed changes, more precisely, rotational speed changes, even during a revolution of a main shaft can occur. This has a positive effect on the above-mentioned machine dynamics.
  • the electronic transmission has a variable ratio within one revolution.
  • the transmission ratio between the rotational movements of the main shafts can thus be changed during operation, preferably even during one revolution.
  • the load of the main shafts does not have to be done in the same way for all main shafts at the same time, so that you can compensate for these load conditions with an electronic transmission.
  • At least one drive motor is arranged in the middle of the axial length of the main shaft assigned to it.
  • Fig. 3 shows an end of a half of a warp knitting machine 1 in section from above.
  • the chain machine 1 has a main shaft 2, which has a working portion 3 formed as a first portion and a second end portion formed as a fourth portion.
  • crank mechanisms are fastened in a manner not shown, which serve to drive bars, the bars carry knitting tools in a known manner.
  • the working section 3 and the end shaft 4 are rigidly but detachably connected to each other. How out Fig. 4 it can be seen, the end shaft 4 for this purpose a portion 5 of reduced diameter, which can be inserted into the working portion 3 of the main shaft 2 and then connected to the working section 3.
  • the main shaft 2 is in communication with a drive motor 6, which is arranged coaxially with the main shaft 2.
  • the drive motor 6 is connected directly to the main shaft 2, that is without the interposition of a transmission or a gear stage, this connection is preferably a rigid connection.
  • a rigid connection it is also possible to use a flexible coupling, for example a torsionally rigid and flexible coupling, such as a bellows coupling.
  • Fig. 4 shows a particularly preferred embodiment in section.
  • the end shaft 4 is in this case passed through the drive motor 6.
  • the drive motor 6 has a stator 7 and a rotor 8.
  • the rotor 8 is mounted on the end shaft 4, that is placed on the end shaft 4 and rotatably connected to the end shaft 4. The rotation of the rotor 8 thus transmits without further intermediate members directly and rigidly to the end shaft 4 and thus to the main shaft. 2
  • the motor 6 is designed without bearings.
  • the bearing of the rotor 8 in the stator 7 via a bearing of the end shaft 4 in a bearing 9, which is arranged outside of the drive motor 6.
  • This bearing 9 is located in a flange 10, which in turn is fixed in an end face 11 of a housing 12, wherein the housing 12 serves to receive the main shaft.
  • the main shaft 2 is arranged in the housing 12 and the drive motor 6 is fixed to the end face 11 of the housing 12.
  • the end shaft 4 protrudes through the end face 11 therethrough.
  • the housing 12 may also be referred to as a machine bed.
  • Fig. 4 How to get in Fig. 4 can recognize, enters the main shaft 2, more precisely, the end shaft 4, at one axial end in the drive motor 6 and protrudes with a free end 13 of the drive motor 6 out.
  • the free end 13 may be mounted in a further bearing 14.
  • the need to provide the second bearing 14 depends on the requirements in the operation of the warp knitting machine 1.
  • the stator 7 of the drive motor 6 has helical channels 15, through which a cooling fluid, such as oil, can be passed. Connections for the cooling liquid are not shown for reasons of clarity. They may be located, for example, under the drive motor 6, ie behind the in Fig. 3 represented drawing level.
  • a rotary encoder 16 is arranged at the free end 13 of the end shaft 4.
  • the rotary encoder 16 is designed as an absolute rotary encoder, i. he can absolutely determine the angular position of the main shaft 2.
  • a magnetic or optical encoding that can be detected by the encoder 16.
  • the rotary encoder 16 is preferably a non-contact rotary encoder.
  • the end face 11 which may also be referred to as an end wall, separates a working space 17 of the housing 12 from a head portion 18.
  • an oil sump for lubricating the bearings of the main shaft 2 may be provided in the working space 17.
  • such an oil sump is not required.
  • the drive motor 6 is designed as a speed-controlled motor, in particular as a rotating electrical motor. Particularly preferred in this case is a synchronous motor, which is driven by a control device having an inverter in order to set the desired speed can.
  • the drive motor 6 is directly and rigidly connected to the main shaft 2 by the rotor 8 of the drive motor 6 is mounted directly on the end shaft 4 of the main shaft 2.
  • the drive motor 6 is on the end wall 11 of the housing 12th Flanged and thus stored very stable. The risk of developing vibrations is thereby minimized.
  • the drive motor 6 Since the drive motor 6 is formed bearingless, it can be kept small and light.
  • the connection of the drive motor 6 is machine dynamic through the positioning on the axis of the main shaft 2.
  • the machine frame i. the housing 12, in the region of the head part 18 is relatively light, which also affects machine dynamics. There are only relatively few parts required.
  • the drive motor 6 is virtually maintenance-free.
  • the drive motor may also be advantageous to arrange the drive motor in the middle of the axial length of the main shaft. For example, you can divide the drive shaft into two equal sections and then arrange the drive motor between the two sections to realize a so-called center drive.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 Now show an embodiment that can be used advantageously to use the thus described construction of drive motor 6 and drive shaft 2 in a warp knitting machine 1, which has more than one main shaft 2.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 show a warp knitting machine with two main shafts, which are provided for the distinction with the additions "a” and "b". The same is true with reference numerals that describe further elements already in the Fig. 3 and 4 have been mentioned.
  • the warp knitting machine has two main shafts 2a, 2b driven by drive motors 6a, 6b.
  • the two drive motors 6a, 6b are accommodated in the head part 18.
  • the flanges 10a, 10b recognizable ( Fig. 2 ), with which the main shafts 2 a, 2 b are mounted in the end face 11 of the housing 12.
  • each main shaft 2a, 2b communicates with its own drive motor 6a, 6b.
  • each drive motor 6a, 6b is arranged coaxially with its associated main shaft 2a, 2b and acts directly on the associated main shaft 2a, 2b.
  • a control device 22 is shown, which is connected to the two drive motors 6a, 6b.
  • the control device 22, which may comprise the above-mentioned inverter, feeds the two drive motors 6a, 6b with a multi-phase alternating current, so that the two drive motors 6a, 6b can be operated as induction machines.
  • the control device 22 also has an electronic gear 23, so that the rotary fields supplied to the drive motors 6a, 6b can have different frequencies. These frequencies may well change during one revolution of the respective main shaft 2a, 2b. The change does not have to be synchronous with the two drive motors 6a, 6b; it can also be counter-rotating.
  • the load of the main shafts 2a, 2b during a stitch formation process not necessarily uniform and similar.
  • the main shaft 2a needs to lift knitting tools in a portion of a knitting process
  • another load may be applied to the main shaft 2b in exactly the same period of time due to lowering the knitting tools driven by the main shaft 2b.
  • Such a situation may occur, for example, in double-knit warp knitting machines used to make knitted fabrics or to make plush goods.
  • the current rotational speed of the main shaft 2a can be reduced in the short term, while it can be increased temporarily and temporarily when lowering the knitting tools. Then certain effects in the warp knitting machine can be precompensated and one can achieve smooth running even at higher machine speeds and with longer main shafts 2a, 2b.
