Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a weaving method in a loom including a shedding device configured to give a shedding motion to warps by driving a corresponding heddle frame with a dedicated drive motor provided for each heddle frame, and configured to perform control of each drive motor, based on an operation pattern set for each heddle frame so that the warps intersect at a predetermined cross point.
  • PTL 1 discloses a loom including a shedding device as described above.
  • the shedding device disclosed in PTL 1 includes drive motors each provided corresponding to each of a plurality of heddle frames.
  • the shedding device is configured so that each heddle frame is driven by the corresponding drive motor and drive of the heddle frame is controlled based on an operation pattern set so that warps intersect at a predetermined cross point.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a weaving method for weaving a woven fabric having a special texture, in a loom including the shedding device as described above.
  • a weaving method in a loom of the present invention includes: setting at least a part of the heddle frames as a target heddle frame; and setting the operation pattern set for the target heddle frame as a special operation pattern, where the special operation pattern is an operation pattern for one repeat of a weaving pattern set in a form of assigning height position information to each weaving cycle, and where the height position information is information about the cross point and having a cross timing of the warps.
  • the special operation pattern includes a first pattern having a first setting weaving cycle and a second pattern set after the first pattern and having a second setting weaving cycle.
  • the first pattern consists of predetermined three or more weaving cycles and the second pattern consists of one or more weaving cycles, and each pattern is set as follows.
  • the first pattern is set such that:
  • the second pattern is set to change the cross point toward a first cross point of the first setting weaving cycle.
  • the cross timing may be set to a time point different from a beating time point by a reed.
  • the second setting weaving cycle may consist of three or more weaving cycles, and the second pattern may be set such that:
  • the target heddle frame is driven according to the first pattern, so that in the first setting weaving cycle, the weaving is performed in such a form that the cross point in the upper and lower direction changes from the cross point in the first weaving cycle of the first setting weaving cycle toward one side.
  • a position where a weft collides with the reed also changes at a beating time at which the weft inserted by the reed swingably driven is driven into a cloth fell.
  • a driving amount of the weft made by the reed also changes.
  • the driving amount is larger as the weft is driven at a further upper position of the reed, and the driving amount is smaller as the weft is driven at a further lower position.
  • the weaving is performed so as for the cross point to change as described above, so that the weaving in the first set weaving cycle is performed with accompanying a change in driving amount. Furthermore, since the first pattern is set to generate such a change in driving amount multiple times, a change in texture associated with the multiple changes in driving amount appears on portions woven according to the first pattern (portions woven with the first setting weaving cycle).
  • an operation pattern for controlling drive of the drive motor is set for one repeat of a weaving pattern, and the operation pattern is repeated, so that a woven fabric is woven.
  • the special operation pattern set for the target heddle frame is set to include, after such a first pattern, the second pattern for returning the cross point to the cross point in the first weaving cycle of the first setting weaving cycle.
  • the change of the cross point in the same state is repeated.
  • the woven fabric woven in such a way at least at portions woven with the first setting weaving cycle, a change in texture as if an appearance of the weft on a surface of the portions is shaded appears. Therefore, according to the weaving method of the present invention, it is possible to obtain a woven fabric having a special texture, as compared to a woven fabric woven by a usual weaving method.
  • the weaving is performed with the cross timing set to a time point different from the beating time point, so that it is possible to obtain a woven fabric on which the above-described special texture (shading of the appearance of the weft) is more prominent.
  • the beating is performed in a state where the warp is set to a shed open state. Therefore, in this case, the tension at the beating time point of the upper and lower warps forming a shed is higher, as compared to a case where the beating is performed in a state where a warp is set to a shed closed state.
  • the tension of both warps corresponds to a displacement amount of the warp from an intermediate position (reference position) as a reference between the uppermost position and the lowermost position of the heddle frame in the upper and lower direction.
  • the tension of the upper warp and the lower warp at the beating time point is higher on one warp of the upper warp and the lower warp than on the other warp. That is, in this case, both the warps have a tension difference at the beating time point. Furthermore, the tension difference increases as a distance of the cross point from the reference position increases. Therefore, when performing weaving while changing the cross point toward one side, as described above, the cross timing is set to a time point different from the beating time point, so that weaving is performed in such a form that the tension difference between the upper warp and the lower warp at the beating time point changes each time the cross point changes.
  • the weaving is performed in this way, so that the warp shedding on one side is beaten in a state of being gradually and strongly pulled. Therefore, a woven fabric, in which the above-described change in texture is more prominent in combination with the above-described change in driving amount, is obtained.
  • the change of the cross point in the second setting weaving cycle for returning the cross point to the cross point of the first weaving cycle in the first setting weaving cycle is performed multiple times.
  • the drive of the drive motor for changing the cross point in the second setting weaving cycle can be performed without applying an excessive load to each drive motor.

  • the operation pattern in the present embodiment consists of only the first pattern and the second pattern, and consists of 20 weaving steps as a whole (one repeat of a weaving pattern).
  • the square frames 52 in the range of step Nos.1 to 10 corresponding to 10 weaving cycles are specified by a touch operation or the like on the setting display field 51.

  • a maximum shedding amount which is a shedding amount at a time when each heddle frame 2 is located at the uppermost position or the lowermost position, is used as a reference (100%), and the shedding amount is set by a percentage (%) to the maximum shedding amount.
  • an intermediate position (reference position) between the uppermost position and the lowermost position in the upper and lower direction is used as a reference, and a distance from the reference position is set by ⁇ N mm (plus indicates a side above the reference position, and minus indicates a side below the reference position).
  • the height position information for 10 weaving steps of the first pattern is created.
  • the height position information created in this way is displayed on the setting display screen 60 as shown in FIG. 3 , in the input setting unit 5. Note that, in the shown example, each height position information is displayed as the setting Nos.1 to 10. However, the setting Nos.1 to 10 correspond to the weaving steps (step Nos.) in corresponding order. In addition, the height position information of the setting Nos.1 to 10 created in this way is automatically assigned to each weaving step in the input setting unit 6, along with the creation.
  • the first pattern of the present embodiment is such a pattern that a cross point of each weaving cycle in the first setting weaving cycle is located above with respect to a cross point of a preceding weaving cycle, as described above. Therefore, as shown in the setting display screen 60, the setting values of the "upper shedding position" and the “lower shedding position" of each weaving step in the height position information are set such that the upper shedding position gradually decreases by a same value and the lower shedding position gradually increases by a same value.
  • the setting values of the upper shedding position and the “lower shedding position” in the present example are first calculated. Then, the setting values in the weaving steps (step Nos.2 to 9) between the first weaving step and the last weaving step are calculated so as to be values equally changed from the setting value of the first weaving step to the setting value of the last weaving step, according to the number of weaving steps.
  • the setting value of the upper shedding position decreases by 1mm per each weaving step
  • the setting value of the lower shedding position increases by 1mm per each weaving step.
  • the setting of the second pattern is performed subsequently.
  • the setting is basically the same as the setting of the first pattern, and the illustration thereof is omitted.
  • the square frames 52 in a range of step Nos.11 to 20 corresponding to the second setting weaving cycle (10 weaving steps) successive to the first setting weaving cycle (10 weaving steps) are first specified by a touch operation or the like on the setting display field 51. Then, the setting button 53 is touched to display the separate window, and the shedding amounts and cross points for the 1st step (that is, step No.11) and the 10th step (that is, step No.20) in the second weaving cycle are set.
  • the second pattern is a pattern set to change the cross point toward a cross point in the first weaving cycle of the first setting weaving cycle. Therefore, the setting value of the cross point set in the separate window is such that the cross point for the 1st step of the second setting weaving cycle is the same as the cross point for the 10th step of the first setting weaving cycle, and the cross point for the 10th step of the second setting weaving cycle is the same as the cross point for the 1st step of the first setting weaving cycle.
  • the shedding amount is the same as the shedding amount of the first pattern.
  • the second pattern of the present embodiment is such a pattern that a cross point of each weaving cycle in the second setting weaving cycle is located below with respect to a cross point of a preceding weaving cycle. Therefore, in the input setting unit 5, the height position information for 10 weaving steps of the second pattern is automatically created based on the conditions, the setting values in the separate window, and the number of the second setting weaving cycles. Then, in the present example, the height position information obtained in this way is one where the height position information for 10 weaving steps of the first pattern is inverted (setting Nos.1 to 10 are reversed in order).
  • the first pattern and the second pattern are set in this way, so that the operation pattern (special operation pattern) of the 20 weaving steps consisting of the first pattern and the second pattern is set, and the operation pattern consisting of the 20 weaving steps becomes an operation pattern for one repeat of a weaving pattern. Further, as a result of setting the operation pattern for one repeat of a weaving pattern in this way, since the display color assigned to each height position information is different (that is, a degree of shading is different) as described above, the setting display field 51 on the pattern setting screen 50 is displayed as shown in FIG. 2 in the range of step Nos. 1 to 20. Thereby, an operator can easily perceive the setting state of the operation pattern.
  • each drive motor 21 is controlled based on the operation pattern set in this way, so that the corresponding heddle frame 2 is driven, respectively.
  • a displacement speed in a period excluding an acceleration period in which the heddle frame 2 starts to be displaced toward the shedding position on the opposite side and a deceleration period before reaching the shedding position is a constant speed.
  • the displacement speed (ascending speed) when displacing the heddle frame 2 toward the upper shedding position is the same speed in each weaving step.
  • the displacement speed (descending speed) when displacing the heddle frame 2 toward the lower shedding position is also the same speed in each weaving step.
  • the timings at which the heddle frame 2 reaches the upper shedding position and the lower shedding position in each weaving cycle are the same, and the amount of displacement from the upper shedding position to the lower shedding position and the amount of displacement from the lower shedding position to the upper shedding position over the successive weaving cycle are different, the ascending speed and the descending speed are different (in the first pattern, the ascending speed is larger, and in the second pattern, the descending speed is larger).
  • each heddle frame 2 is driven to operate as shown in shedding curves of FIGS. 4 and 5 .
  • FIG. 4 shows the shedding curve of the heddle frame 2 when each drive motor 21 is driven based on the first pattern
  • FIG. 5 shows the shedding curve of the heddle frame 2 when each drive motor 21 is driven based on the second pattern.
  • the operation of the heddle frame 2 is more specifically described, as follows.
  • the heddle frame 2 for which the position of the heddle frame 2 in the 1st step is set to the upper shedding position in the shedding pattern is driven to reach a position 13mm lower with respect to the uppermost position at the crank angle 90°.

  • each heddle frame 2 stays at the shedding position by the crank angle range 80° set as the dwell, and is then driven to be displaced toward the shedding position on an opposite side (shedding position based on the shedding pattern and the height position information) at the crank angle 170°, which is an ending time point of the dwell.
  • the heddle frame 2 located at the upper shedding position in the 1st step is displaced toward the lower shedding position set in the 2nd step, and passes through an intermediate position between the upper shedding position in the 1st step and the lower shedding position in the 2nd step at the cross timing 310°, which is an intermediate crank angle between the crank angle 170° and the crank angle 90° in a next weaving step.
  • the heddle frame 2 located at the lower shedding position in the 1st step passes through an intermediate position between the lower shedding position in the 1st step and the upper shedding position in the 2nd step at the cross timing 310°. Then, at the intermediate position, the upper warp and the lower warp intersect (all warps are aligned). Further, in both the 1st step and the 2nd step, since the distance from the reference position to the shedding position is larger in the lower shedding position than in the upper shedding position, the position (cross point) where the warps intersect is below the reference position.
  • each heddle frame 2 is driven based on the shedding pattern and the height position information set in each weaving step.
  • the setting value of the upper shedding position in the height position information set in step Nos.1 to 10 decreases by 1mm per each weaving step and the setting value of the lower shedding position increases by 1mm per each weaving step.
  • the cross point in the first setting weaving cycle is displaced upward by 1 mm per each weaving cycle.
  • the setting values of the upper shedding position and the lower shedding position in the height position information of the 6th step are the same, and the cross point in the upper and lower direction substantially coincides with the reference position in the 6th step. Therefore, the cross point is displaced below the reference position up to the 5th step, and is displaced above the reference position in the 7th to 10th steps.
  • the heddle frame 2 is driven in the same manner as described above in each weaving step.
  • the setting values of the upper shedding position and the lower shedding position in step Nos.11 to 20 in which the second pattern is set as described above, the setting value of the upper shedding position increases by 1mm per each weaving step, and the setting value of the lower shedding position decreases by 1mm per each weaving step.
  • the cross point in the second setting weaving cycle is displaced downward by 1 mm per each weaving cycle.
  • the cross point of the 20th step is the same position as the cross point of the 1st step.

  • the cross point is displaced above the reference position up to the 14th step, and is displaced below the reference position in the 15th to 20th steps.
  • each heddle frame 2 according to the operation pattern (special operation pattern) for one repeat of a weaving pattern consisting of the first pattern and the second pattern is repeated every 20 weaving steps consisting of the first setting weaving cycle and the second setting weaving cycle.
  • the weaving is performed by controlling drive of each drive motor 21 according to the special operation pattern consisting of the first pattern and the second pattern set as described above.
  • a woven fabric having a special texture is obtained. More specifically, when the cross point changes, a position where the weft collides with a reed at the beating time also changes. Furthermore, when the position changes, a driving amount of weft by the reed also changes. However, the driving amount is larger as the position where the weft collides at the beating time is higher with respect to the reed, and is smaller as the position is lower with respect to the reed.
  • the weaving is performed so that the cross point gradually changes upward per each weaving step. Therefore, the driving amount of weft also gradually increases per each weaving step. Thereby, at portions woven according to the first pattern, a change in texture as if an appearance of the weft on a surface of a woven fabric woven is gradually darkened appears with a change in driving amount.
  • the second pattern is a pattern for returning the cross point changed in the first pattern to the position in the first weaving step.
  • the number of the second setting weaving cycles constituting the second pattern is 10 weaving steps, and the cross point is changed toward the position in the first weaving step per each weaving step over the 10 weaving steps. Therefore, also at portions in the 11th to 20th steps woven with the second pattern, weaving is performed so that the driving amount of weft changes per each weaving step over the 10 weaving steps. Since the driving amount changes so that the amount of driving gradually decreases, a change in texture as if an appearance of weft becomes gradually lighter appears on the surface of the woven fabric at the portions woven according to the second pattern.
  • the weaving method based on the special operation pattern including the first pattern and the second pattern it is possible to obtain a woven fabric having a special texture on a surface thereof, as compared to a woven fabric woven by a usual weaving method. Further, since the second pattern for returning the cross point to the position in the first weaving step is set to gradually change the cross point over 10 weaving steps, as described above, the drive of the drive motor 21 for changing the cross point in the second pattern can be performed without applying an excessive load to each drive motor 21.
  • the weaving method of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment (the above embodiment), and can also be implemented in following other embodiments (modified embodiments).
  • the first pattern may also set as a pattern ((B) pattern described above) in which the cross point in a plurality of weaving cycles smaller than a total number in the first setting weaving cycle is on one side in the upper and lower direction with respect to the cross point of the preceding weaving cycle and the cross point in the remaining weaving cycles is the same as the cross point of the preceding weaving cycle. That is, the first pattern may also be set as a pattern in which the cross point is changed only in some (two or more) weaving steps of the first setting weaving cycle and the cross point is not changed in the other weaving steps.
  • the first pattern of the above embodiment consists of 10 weaving cycles.
  • the first pattern in the present invention may consist of three or more weaving cycles.
  • the first pattern in the present invention is a pattern ((A) or (B) pattern described above) of changing the cross point multiple times toward one side in the upper and lower direction in the first setting weaving cycle. Therefore, the first pattern is made to include at least three weaving cycles so as to change the cross point multiple times.

That is, the second pattern is also a pattern of changing the cross point per each weaving step, as in the first pattern of the above embodiment.
  • the second pattern is not limited to the (C) pattern as described above, and may also be set as the (D) pattern as described above.
  • the second pattern may also be set as a pattern ((D) pattern described above) in which the cross point in a plurality of weaving cycles smaller than a total number in the second setting weaving cycle is on an opposite side to one side with respect to the cross point of the preceding weaving cycle and the cross point in the remaining weaving cycles is the same as the cross point of the preceding weaving cycle. That is, the second pattern may also be set as a pattern in which the cross point is changed only in some (two or more) weaving steps of the second setting weaving cycle and the cross point is not changed in the other weaving steps.
  • the second pattern of the above embodiment consists of 10 weaving cycles, which are the same as the number of the first setting weaving cycles of the first pattern.
  • the present invention is not limited to thereto.
  • the second pattern may consist of different numbers of weaving cycles from the number of the first setting weaving cycles.
  • the second pattern is preferably set to change the cross point over a plurality of weaving steps, as in the above embodiment, considering the load that is applied to each drive motor 21 in the second setting weaving cycle.
  • the second pattern may be set as a pattern of returning the cross point to the first cross point in one weaving step.
  • the special operation pattern set for the target heddle frame in the above embodiment, all the heddle frames 2 that are used for weaving are set as the target heddle frame, and one (one type) special operation pattern is set for all the target heddle frames, as a common pattern.
  • the present invention is not limited thereto.
  • a plurality of types of special operation patterns in which the settings of the first pattern and/or the second pattern are different may be set for any one of the target heddle frames. For example, as shown in FIG.
  • a special operation pattern of changing the cross point upward and then returning the same to the original position may be set for frame Nos.1 to 8
  • a special operation pattern of changing the cross point downward and then returning the same to the original position may be set for frame Nos.9 to 16.
  • the target heddle frame for which the special operation pattern is set is not limited to all the heddle frames 2 that are used for weaving, as in the above embodiment. That is, only a part of the heddle frames may be set as the target heddle frame, and the other heddle frames may be set as the heddle frames that are driven by a usual operation pattern (a pattern that does not change the cross point).
  • the ascending speed and the descending speed of the target heddle frame are set as the same speed in each weaving step.
  • the upper shedding position and the lower shedding position are changed per each weaving step.
  • the upper shedding position and the lower shedding position are not limited to being changed in such a way, and the upper shedding position and the lower shedding position in each weaving step may be set to be the same, and the displacement speed of the heddle frame in each weaving step may be changed.
  • the cross point gradually rises per each weaving step.
  • the height position information assigned to each weaving step includes the setting value of the changed cross point (for example, the distance from the reference position is set by ⁇ N mm).
  • the shedding control unit 3 may calculate the displacement speed to the cross timing and the displacement speed from the cross timing when displacing the heddle frame in the above-described form according to the cross point in each weaving step set in the height position information, and control the drive motor 21, based on the displacement speeds.
  • the heddle frame is displaced in a form as exemplified in FIG. 7 , and therefore, the cross point is changed as shown.
  • the cross timing of the above embodiment is set to a time point (crank angle 310°) different from the beating time point.
  • the cross timing may be any timing as long as it is appropriate for weaving, and for example, may be set to the same time point (crank angle 360°) as the beating time point, similar to the cross timing in the weaving of the related art. Even when the cross timing is any timing, a change in texture appears on the surface of the woven fabric by changing the cross point to change the driving amount in the above-described manner.
  • the effect of weaving a woven fabric having a special texture according to the present invention can be made more prominent. More specifically, when the cross timing is set to a time point different from the beating time point, the beating is performed in a state where the warp is set to a shed open state. Therefore, the tension of the upper warp and the lower warp, which form the shed, at the beating time point is increased, as compared to a case where the beating is performed in a state where the warp is set to a shed closed state. Further, the tension corresponds to the amount of displacement of the warp from the reference position.
  • the cross timing is set to a time point different from the beating time point in this way, the upper warp is beaten in a state of being gradually and strongly pulled. Therefore, a woven fabric, in which the above-described change in texture is more prominent in combination with the above-described change in driving amount of the weft, is obtained. That is, in the weaving method of the present invention, in order to achieve the object of weaving a woven fabric having a special texture, it is more preferable that the cross timing is set to a time point different from the beating time point.
  • the height position information of the above embodiment includes the cross timing, the shedding position (upper shedding position, lower shedding position), and the dwell (upper dwell, lower dwell).
  • the setting value of the shedding position the setting value of the upper shedding position is set as the distance (mm) from the uppermost position
  • the setting value of the lower shedding position is set as the distance (mm) from the lowermost position.
  • the setting value of the shedding position is not limited to such a setting, and may be set as a distance (mm) from the reference position with respect to the reference position.
  • the length itself of the distance from the reference as described above is not limited to being used as the setting value. For example, a distance from the reference position to the uppermost position (the lowermost position) may be set as a reference (100%), and a percentage (%) to the reference may be used as a setting value.
  • the height position information is not limited to including the cross timing, the shedding position, and the dwell, and may also include the cross point as described above.
  • the setting value of the cross point is not limited to being set as the distance ⁇ N mm from the reference position as described above, and may also be set as a distance N mm from the uppermost position (or the lowermost position) or the set shedding position.
  • the setting value of the cross point is not limited to the length itself of the distance as such, and for example, may be set as a percentage (%) to a reference (100%), which is a distance from the set shedding position to the reference position. For reference, even when the cross point is set in a separate window as in the above embodiment, the setting value of the cross point may be set as the percentage (%) as described above.
  • the height position information for a weaving step selected on the setting display field 51 is automatically created in the input setting unit 5 by setting the shedding amount and the cross point in the separate window.

  • the shedding amount per each weaving step is the same for all weaving steps, but may not be the same for all weaving steps as long as it is appropriate for weaving.
  • the setting value of the shedding amount is not limited to being set to the percentage (%) to the maximum shedding amount as a reference (100%), and may be set as a dimension (N mm) in the upper and lower direction about the reference position.
