Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a yarn feeding arrangement.
  • the present disclosure relates to a yarn feeding arrangement suitable for a rapier weaving machine weaving flat or tape yarns where the weft yarn shall be presented to the weaving machine without twist.
  • a general development trend in weaving is that the speed of the weaving machine is constantly being increased. Another trend is the increased use of flat or tape formed yarns, which shall be inserted without any twist. Examples of such yarns are polypropylene tape, carbon fiber tape, aramid and glass fiber tape. Presently the speed of a rapier weaving machines weaving flat or tape yarns without twist is limited by the low capacity of the zero twist yarn feeding devices that exist today.
  • Existing systems for feeding yarns without twist typically have an un-wind motor that is controlled by measuring the length of a big loop buffer that is located between the bobbin and the weaving machine.
  • the loop can be either free hanging or have a mechanical member that forms the loop by gravity, pressurized air or by under-pressure (aspirator).
  • the existing systems can be considered as storage feeders, where the weaving machine can take the amount of yarn it needs, so called “negative yarn feed” or "feed on demand”.
  • US 5150739 describes a yarn buffer unrolling the yarn tangentially from a bobbin and then feeding the yarn in loops into a container.
  • a yarn buffer is an arrangement that can hold a bit of yarn that can be drawn with a small force during at least a part of the weaving cycle compared to the force required if the yarn would have been drawn directly from a yarn storage such as directly from the bobbin.
  • the loop formation is not controlled but let free to depend on the yarn properties in the actual case, with the risk that the loops will form in an uneven way with entanglement or twisting as a consequence. Further, the yarn loops are advanced by gravity which limits the speed at which the loops can be made.
  • US 3575217 also feeds the yarn in loops into a container, and in this case the loops are assisted to be formed by under-pressure obtained by an aspirator. Still, the loops are free and exposed to a big risk for twisting or entanglement.
  • DE 102 03 733 describes a linear measurement and magazine storage arrangement for threads which comprises thread feed elements and thread length-measuring elements together with magazines.
  • the magazines are designed with retaining devices which retain thread parts in predetermined positions.
  • the length-measuring elements comprise a pulse generator arranged in a load cell and designed to control the thread feed element in the form of an alternating current motor by means of pulses.
  • An electric motor is provided to actuate reversing elements that displace parts of the threads into the magazines.
  • US 2015/0203999 introduces a movable loop roller to form a U-shaped loop by pulling the weft yarn.
  • the movable loop roller gets its force to tension the yarn by either a spring or by under-pressure.
  • the roller has a mass and when the yarn is accelerated during the weft insertion this mass of inertia will create a tension peak in the weft yarn.
  • this device works at low insertion speed, but when the speed of the weaving machine increases it causes a limitation in the whole system.
  • the force from the movable yarn roller towards the yarn during the loop formation needs to be increased as there is less time to form a loop, and thus the movable loop roller will create an even higher yarn tension during insertion as not only the mass of inertia of the movable loop roller has to be overcome, but also an increased spring force or an increased under-pressure. This increased yarn tension at insertion limits the speed at which the weaving machine can be operated.
  • a weft yarn feeding arrangement where the control of weft yarn feed is performed by at the same time controlling the speed of a motor driven bobbin and a motor driven loop buffer device.
  • the motor driven loop buffer device is driven based on pre-stored information about the speed and position of the rapier(s) in relation to the weaving machine angle position.
  • the motor driven bobbin is driven to supply the correct amount of weft yarn during each cycle of the weaving machine.
  • the speed of the motor driven loop buffer device is adjusted based on the actual yarn tension.
  • the speed of the motor driven bobbin can be adjusted based on the actual yarn tension.
  • the speed of the motor driven bobbin can be adjusted based on other parameters such as position of the loop buffer device.
  • the weft yarn feeding arrangement can then supply the correct amount of weft yarn by driving the motor driven bobbin at a correct speed.
  • the motor driven bobbin can change speed if required, but the speed changes are small, typically less than 5% over a weaving cycle. Compensation for the rapid speed changes of weft yarn insertion speed caused by the speed changes of the rapier(s) is made by the motor driven loop buffer device programmed to follow the weft yarn insertion speed changes.
  • the control system is programmed to receive a weft yarn actual tension feedback signal.
  • Fine tuning of the movement of the motor driven loop buffer device is then performed based on the fed-back actual yarn tension.
  • the aim is to keep the yarn tension constant and to never have a slack in the yarn, or to let the yarn tension follow a pre-determined curve over a cycle of the weaving machine.
  • the speed of the motor driven bobbin can be controlled based on the weft yarn actual tension signal or a similar signal such as a signal representing the position of the loop buffer device.
  • a yarn feeding arrangement for feeding weft yarn to a weaving machine having at least one rapier wherein the weft yarn fed to the weaving machine continuously has a controlled yarn tension.
  • the yarn feeding arrangement comprises a motor driven bobbin and a motor driven loop buffer device.
  • the yarn feeding arrangement further comprises a controller for controlling the motor of the motor driven bobbin and the motor driven loop buffer device. The controller is adapted to
  • the motor driven loop buffer device is formed by an arm connected to the motor of the motor driven loop buffer device.
  • the arm can be attached directly to an output shaft of the motor of the motor driven buffer device or connected to the output shaft via a gear arrangement.
  • the motor driven loop buffer device is formed by a member moving back and forth. Hereby an efficient yarn buffer that can easily be controlled is provided.
  • the model of weft yarn insertion speed is based on parameters comprising information about the rapier position or speed in relation to machine angle position of the weaving machine and information about the length of the pick.
  • Information about momentary machine angle position of the weaving machine can also be transferred from the weaving machine to the yarn feeding arrangement. Further information about the weft pattern can be transferred to the yarn feeding arrangement before start of the weaving machine.
  • a more accurate control can be achieved.
  • the controller is adapted to drive the motor of the motor driven loop buffer device based on information about the geometry of the loop buffer device and/or on information about dynamics of at least one moving part of the motor driven loop buffer device.

  • the controller is programmed to run the bobbin un-wind motor at a speed at which the average amount of weft yarn that the weaving machine consumes is unwound from the bobbin or close to such a speed.
  • the controller is programmed to run the motor of the loop-forming arm so that the movement of the arm compensates for the difference of the essentially constant un-wind speed of the weft yarn from the bobbin and the intermittent consumption of weft yarn by the weaving machine.
  • the motor of a motor driven buffer device is driven to keep the buffered yarn length equal to, or within a pre-determined range around, the difference between the amount of yarn unrolled from the bobbin and the amount of yarn consumed by the weaving machine during the insertion to thereby control the yarn tension.
