Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement and a method for optimizing a weaving process. More particular, the invention relates to an arrangement and a method for avoiding weaving errors due to an incorrect threading of a weft thread preparation device of a weaving machine.
  • a fabric consists of warp threads and weft threads.
  • the weft threads are inserted in between warp threads during an insertion cycle of the weaving process.
  • Weft threads are fed to the weaving machine and are wound on bobbins which are typically placed on bobbin racks or bobbin creels arranged on one side of the weaving machine, generally on the left side.
  • a weaving machine Before starting to weave a new fabric style, a weaving machine has to be equipped with raw materials. From the rack, the weft thread of each bobbin is manually threaded to a prewinder that prepares the weft thread for the weft insertion.
  • a weaving machine can have one prewinder or up to sixteen prewinders.
  • one prewinder contains weft thread coming from one bobbin.
  • two or more weft threads coming from an associated bobbin can be wound simultaneously on a common prewinder.
  • two or more weft threads coming from an associated prewinder can be inserted simultaneously in a weaving shed, for example by means of a gripper or a main nozzle.
  • a leading end of a second bobbin is tied to the trailing end of a first bobbin, to enable longer machine running cycles without interventions to supply new bobbins.
  • a weaving machine is equipped with sixteen prewinders and with one or more racks that form together sixteen platforms for bobbins, wherein each platform comprises one or two pins, on which a bobbin is placed.
  • weft insertion channels are used to determine the sequence in which the different weft threads are inserted. This sequence is often referred to as a "color pattern".
  • One or more element(s) is/are assigned to each virtual channel, which is/are driven by the control device for drawing off a weft thread from a bobbin and/or to insert a weft thread threaded or otherwise coupled to said element.
  • said elements assigned to virtual channels are referred to as weft insertion channel elements.
  • a group of weft insertion channel elements assigned to one virtual channel is referred to as weft insertion channel group.
  • weft threads are manually threaded to prewinders of a weft thread preparation device and are threaded from the prewinders through weft thread brakes to one weft presenter, also named weft thread presenter.
  • the prewinders are operated in order to wind the weft thread on the prewinder and thereby to draw off weft thread from the bobbin.
  • An operation is triggered for example upon reaching a defined minimum length of weft reserve on the prewinder. This can be detected by means of a sensor arranged at the prewinder.
  • the weft presenters are driven for example by a control device to present a particular weft thread coming from the associated prewinder to a bringer gripper for an insertion of said weft thread.
  • the weft insertion channel elements comprise the prewinders and the weft presenters.
  • weft threads from prewinders are fed to one main nozzle or to a set of main nozzles, wherein the main nozzles are driven by the control device in order to select the weft thread to be inserted during a weaving machine cycle.
  • the weft insertion channel elements comprise the prewinders and the main nozzles.
  • weft thread threaded to the weft insertion channel element(s) In order to have a control device that regulates the complete insertion process, it is essential that the type of weft thread threaded to the weft insertion channel element(s) and, thus, added or allocated to a weft insertion channel is known.
  • threaded to a weft insertion channel element means that weft thread is coupled along its movement path in a certain way to the weft insertion channel element.
  • the weaving machine can determine, for each kind of weft thread, the weft insertion channel corresponding to that kind of weft thread, and can convert the entered weft insertion pattern as a function of the kind of weft thread to a weft insertion pattern as a function of the weft insertion channels.
  • the object of the present invention to provide an arrangement and a method for avoiding weaving errors due to an incorrect threading of a weft thread preparation device of a weaving machine.
  • each weft insertion channel group comprises a first weft insertion channel element and a second weft insertion channel element downstream of the first weft insertion channel element, wherein each first weft insertion channel element is adapted to temporarily store weft thread coming from at least one associated bobbin, wherein weft thread coming from at least one of the first weft insertion channel elements can be fed to at least two different second weft insertion channel elements for forming a weft insertion channel group, wherein each of the number of first weft insertion channel elements is arranged to be operated in a regular mode, wherein in the regular mode each of the number of first weft insertion channel elements is driven for drawing off at least one weft thread fed to said first weft insertion channel element from the associated bobbin upon or after a defined minimum length of weft reserve
  • a weft thread fed by a bobbin could be manually threaded or otherwise coupled to any of a number of first weft insertion channel elements, in particular prewinders, and from the first weft insertion channel elements to any of the number of second weft insertion channel elements, for example to a weft presenter or a main nozzle.
  • first weft insertion channel elements in particular prewinders
  • second weft insertion channel elements for example to a weft presenter or a main nozzle.
  • the control device assumes that a first weft thread of a first type is inserted using a first weft insertion channel group comprising a first prewinder and a first weft presenter, and a second weft thread of a second type is inserted using a second weft insertion channel group comprising a second prewinder and a second weft presenter.
  • the first weft insertion channel elements can be operated in a set-up mode.
  • the set-up mode is also referred to as "wait for identification mode". In this mode, a normal weaving or a weaving of a test pattern is possible until weft thread is drawn off from the first weft insertion channel element being in the set-up mode. In other words, until weft thread temporarily stored in said first weft insertion channel element has been inserted.
  • the second weft insertion channel element used for said insertion is identified and the two elements are allocated to the same weft insertion channel group.
  • a defined minimum length of weft reserve stored in said first weft insertion channel element may be reached, which in a regular mode would cause driving said first weft insertion channel element for drawing off weft thread from an associated bobbin.
  • drawing off weft thread from the associated bobbin is delayed until at least the step of adding or allocating the first weft insertion channel element and the second weft insertion channel element to a weft insertion channel group is completed.
  • At least some of the first weft insertion channel elements are associated with a detector arranged at or downstream of the respective first weft insertion channel elements, wherein an insertion of weft thread coming from one of the number of first weft insertion channel elements is detected by means of said detector, in particular by means of a weft reserve detector provided at the first weft insertion channel element, by means of a winding detector provided at the first weft insertion channel element and/or by means of a weft thread movement detector arranged downstream of the first weft insertion channel element.
  • the first weft reserve detector in one embodiment is used to detect that a defined minimum length of weft reserve stored in a first weft insertion channel element is reached, which will trigger an operation of said first weft insertion channel element for drawing off weft thread from an associated bobbin.
  • control device is arranged to compare first weft insertion channel elements and second weft insertion channel elements allocated to one weft insertion channel group in the set-up mode with first weft insertion channel elements and second weft insertion channel elements previously allocated to said weft insertion channel group and/or expected to be allocated to said weft insertion channel group.
  • control device is arranged to compare the elements allocated to one weft insertion channel group with the elements allocated to one machine channel or weft insertion channel in the control device.
  • the control device adjusts a weft insertion pattern defined by weft threads having an expected threading to match the weft insertion pattern to the identified threading of the weft threads.
  • an error signal is issued and a user is prompted to correct the threading.
  • the arrangement further comprises a bobbin rack with a number of platforms each having a weft thread property identifying sensor, wherein weft threads of bobbins placed on at least some of the platforms, and preferably on all platforms, are fed to at least some of the weft insertion channel groups, wherein at least at some of the platforms a weft thread movement detector arranged for detecting a weft thread movement is provided, wherein the first weft insertion channel elements of the weft insertion channel groups are arranged to be driven for drawing off the at least one weft thread fed to said weft insertion channel group from the associated bobbin placed on a platform, and wherein the control device is arranged
  • Platforms can be provided with one pin or more than one pin, in particular two pins.
  • a weft thread from a bobbin placed on any pin of any platform could be manually threaded or otherwise coupled to any of a number of first weft insertion channel elements, in particular prewinders, and from the first weft insertion channel elements, in particular from the prewinder, to any of the number of second weft insertion channel elements, for example to a weft presenter or a main nozzle.
  • first weft insertion channel elements in particular prewinders
  • second weft insertion channel elements for example to a weft presenter or a main nozzle.
  • weft threads fed from at least some of the bobbins placed on the platform can be manually threaded or otherwise coupled to at least two different prewinders without difficulty. This may result in weaving errors. For example, when weaving with a particular weft insertion pattern, the control device assumes that a first weft thread of a first type has been threaded to a first prewinder and a second weft thread of a second type has been threaded to a second prewinder.
  • the platforms of the bobbins from which weft threads are drawn off are determined by means of the control device and properties of the weft thread arranged on the determined platform are identified. This allows an unambiguous determination of properties of weft threads inserted using weft insertion channel elements allocated in the control device to a particular weft insertion channel. Thereby, the actual set-up of the weaving machine can be determined, and, weaving errors can be avoided.
  • Suitable weft thread movement detectors also named movement detectors, may be chosen by the person skilled in the art.
  • an optical detector is provided for detecting a ballooning or movement of a weft thread during operation.
  • a piezo-electronic detector is provided for detecting an electrical charge induced upon the movement of the weft thread.
  • a detector using capacitive effects is provided, wherein for example a change in the capacitance upon movement of the weft thread is detected.
  • natural electrical charges on the weft thread are detected using for example charge detectors. Suitable detectors are described for example in EP 0195469 A2 and/or US 4215728 A , which are incorporated herein by reference. However, the invention is not limited to the use of such detectors.
  • control device is further arranged to compare identified weft thread properties with weft thread property information allocated to weft insertion channels in the control device.
  • weft insertion channels are used in the control device to determine the sequence by which the different weft threads are inserted and the weft insertion channel elements assigned to the weft insertion channels are driven accordingly.
  • weaving errors due to an incorrect threading can be avoided. For example, in case the control device has identified that a red weft thread is threaded to the weft insertion channel element associated to a first weft insertion channel. However for obtaining a desired fabric, a green weft thread has to be inserted using said weft insertion channel elements, an error message can be generated and weaving may be inhibited until the threading is corrected.
  • control device is arranged for adjusting a previous or expected allocation of weft insertion channel elements to a weft insertion channel based on an identified threading of a weft thread. For example, a first prewinder has been previously used to insert a weft thread coming from a first platform, and, thus, has been allocated to the associated weft insertion channel. However, upon a new set-up, the weft thread has been threaded to a second prewinder. In this case, in an embodiment the second prewinder will be allocated to the weft insertion channel instead of the first prewinder by the control device without further action required by the user.
  • control device is arranged for adjusting a weaving sequence for obtaining a particular fabric based on identified weft thread properties. For example, in case the control device has identified that a red weft thread is threaded to the weft insertion channel element associated to a first weft insertion channel, however for obtaining a particular fabric a green weft thread is required, and a green weft thread is threaded to the weft insertion channel element associated to a second weft insertion channel, however for weaving said particular fabric a red weft thread is required, in the weaving sequence the first weft insertion channel and the second weft insertion channel are exchanged. Of course, such an adjustment is not possible in case that no red weft thread has been provided.
  • the weft thread property identifying sensors are arranged to identify at least one weft thread property selected from the group comprising amongst others thread thickness, thread hairiness, thread twist, thread color, thread production time, thread supplier, thread material and/or other thread properties.
  • the weft thread property identifying sensors each comprise a contactless reader element arranged for reading data that is associated with a weft thread property from a tag attached to a bobbin placed on the associated platform. Reader elements and tags allow for a simple communication of a large number of weft thread properties of the weft threads wound on a bobbin. This allows the use of expert knowledge related to the physical properties of the weft thread in the control device.
  • the reader element in an embodiment is an optical reader element, for example a barcode reader element or a QR code reader element.
  • radio frequency technology is applied, and in particular an RFID reader element is provided.
  • sensors detecting the color, the hairiness or other weft thread properties may be provided. It is well known to provide more than one bobbin on a common platform, wherein a trailing end of a first bobbin is attached to the leading end of a second bobbin. In case several bobbins are placed on a common platform, in an embodiment only the weft thread properties of the first bobbin from which the weft thread is unwound is identified.
  • the weft thread property identifying sensors each are arranged for reading data from the tags attached to each bobbin placed on any one of the pins of the associated platform and/or for each bobbin placed on any one of the pins of the associated platform an associated weft thread property identifying sensor is provided.
  • each weft insertion channel group comprises a first weft insertion channel element and a second weft insertion channel element downstream of the first weft insertion channel element, wherein each first weft insertion channel element is adapted to temporarily store weft thread coming from at least one associated bobbin, wherein a weft thread coming from at least one of the first weft insertion channel elements can be fed to at least two different second weft insertion channel elements for forming a weft insertion channel group, wherein each of the number of first weft insertion channel elements is arranged to be operated in a regular mode, wherein in the regular mode each of the number of first weft insertion channel elements is driven for drawing off at least one weft thread fed to said first weft insertion channel element from the associated bobbin upon or after a defined minimum length of wef
  • the first weft insertion channel elements can be manually or automatically, for example by means of the control device, switched to the set-up mode upon or after each operation that may result in a modification of the threading of the weft threads.
  • the first weft insertion channel elements are manually or automatically switched to the set-up mode after a new bobbin has been threaded to at least one weft insertion channel group and/or after threading operations within at least one weft insertion channel group.
  • first weft insertion channel element and the second weft insertion channel element allocated to one weft insertion channel group in the set-up mode are compared by means of the control device with first weft insertion channel elements and second weft insertion channel elements previously allocated to said weft insertion channel group or expected to be allocated to said weft insertion channel group.
  • the elements are compared with elements allocated to a virtual channel or weft insertion channel used in the control device. This allows for a detection of threading errors.
  • driving the selected one of the number of first weft insertion channel elements for drawing off weft thread from an associated bobbin is avoided in case the first weft insertion channel element and second weft insertion channel element allocated to one weft insertion channel in the set-up mode deviates from first weft insertion channel elements and second weft insertion channel elements previously allocated to said weft insertion channel group or expected to be allocated to said weft insertion channel group.
  • a bobbin rack with a number of platforms each having a weft thread property identifying sensor wherein a bobbin is placed on any one of the platforms and the weft thread of said bobbin is fed to one of the number of weft insertion channel groups, wherein the method further comprises driving the selected one of the number of first weft insertion channel elements for drawing off weft thread from an associated bobbin, wherein upon or after drawing off the weft thread from said bobbin, the platform of said bobbin from which the at least one weft thread is drawn off is determined by evaluating detector signals of weft thread movement detectors arranged for detecting a weft thread movement, which are provided at at least some of the platforms, and at least one weft thread property of the at least one weft thread fed to said first weft insertion channel element is identified by evaluating a sensor signal of the weft thread property identifying sensor provided at the determined platform.
  • the identified weft thread properties are compared by means of the control device with weft thread property information allocated to weft insertion channels in the control device. In case the identified weft thread properties do not match with the weft thread property information, an error message can be generated and weaving can be inhibited until a user has corrected the threading.
  • control device adjusts the allocation of a weft insertion channel element to a weft insertion channel based on an identified threading of the weft thread. This could be done either by the control device without further notification to the user or only after the user has approved the adjustment.
  • a user is prompted to modify a position of two or more bobbins on the bobbin rack to optimize weaving a given weaving pattern. For example, it might be favorable to thread a weft thread dominating a particular weaving pattern to a weft presenter travelling only over a short distance when presenting a weft thread.
  • the user can opt to follow the proposed modification or to maintain a set-up.
  • weft thread properties are read by means of the weft thread property identifying sensor from a tag attached to the bobbin from which the weft thread is drawn off, wherein in particular the weft thread properties are read using a contactless reader element, in particular an RFID reader element.
  • the weft thread properties may comprise amongst others information about the weft thread, such as color, thickness, hairiness and/or its production date, as well as its spinning date as its bobbin date. The determination of such weft thread properties also allows, for example, to start-up a weaving machine with specific settings that are stored in the control device of the weaving machine for weft threads with such weft thread properties.
