Abstract
A weft yarn winding head for driving a weft insertion bobbin includes an electromagnetic clutch 1, arranged to drive and brake a take-up plate 9 for driving the bobbin, the angular position of the plate being sensed by a sensor 11 and the clutch being actuated by a trigger circuit 16 and a preselection circuit 13 so as to stop at a preselected position. The number of turns wound on the bobbin and hence the weft length is determined by counting the pulses from sensor 11 and comparing this with a pre-set valve. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Weft Yarn Winding Head
This invention relates to a weft yarn winding head for a weft insertion device, especially for a multi-shed weaving machine with multiple weft insertion in the warp.
Multi-shed weaving machines with multiple weft insertion in the warp are provided with a weft insertion device having bobbins onto which are wound precisely metered individual weft lengths, and which are unwound from the bobbin as the weft insertion device passes the warp. The bobbin being empty after the passage of the insertion device through the warp, a new weft has to be wound onto the bobbin. Therefore, these multi-shed weaving machines are provided with a weft yarn winding head, the function of which is to wind onto the bobbin of the weft insertion device a weft yarn length corresponding to the woven fabric width, in such a way that it is possible if required to easily change the weft length, in the case when the woven fabric width has to be changed.An important feature of the winding head is that the wound weft yarn length corresponds as precisely as possible to the woven fabric width since otherwise a waste of textile material or faults in the woven fabric would or could occur.
Weft yarn winding heads used at present are usually provided with a take-up plate driven by gears in such a way that the plate carries, during winding, the insertion device bobbin onto which the weft yarn is wound.
A disadvantage of these known winding heads consists in controlling the length of the wound weft yarn of more than one turn only by changing the drive ratio of the gear of the winding head take-up plate, i.e. by changing the gear wheels.
Since there is a relatively large number of winding heads on the weaving machine this gear wheel change is time-consuming and laborious increasing the machine down-time and reassembly time.
A further disadvantage of the known winding heads is the increased storage requirement for the large number, there may be several hundreds, of gear change wheels necessary for one machine for different working widths.
A disadvantage of the known winding heads is also their considerable weight affecting unfavourably their life due to the motion of the same.
An object of the invention is to eliminate or reduce the above disadvantages. A weft yarn winding head according to the invention, comprises a plate arranged on one end of the take-up plate shaft, above said take-up plate shaft a shaft position sensor is placed, the output of which is connected to the scaler input; to the input of the scaler preselection the output of the preselection circuit is connected; the scaler output is connected to the input of the first switch when the trigger circuit output is connected to the input of the second switch and to the scaler resetting input; the switch output is connected to the stationary electromagnet coil and the second switch output to the coil of the magnetic clutch rotary electromagnet.
An advantage of the weft yarn winding head according to the invention is that it is relatively easy to produce and to assemble and it reduces at the same time the range of materials used.
A further advantage is its considerably lower weight compared to known types being in some cases up to 60 per cent.
The winding head according to the invention also contributes considerably to the control of the wound weft yarn length of more than one turn, being performed up to now by changing gear wheels, numerically so that storing of numerous gear wheel sets is unnecessary.
The winding head according to the invention also reduces weaving machine down-time occurring at woven fabric width change, i.e. when changing the metered weft length.
An embodiment of the weft yarn winding head according to the invention is shown diagrammatically in the drawing.
The winding head of the embodiment of the invention includes an electromagnetic clutch 1 containing a stationary electromagnet 2 and a rotary electromagnet 3, the latter being connected to a drive shaft 4 driven by a suitable means (not shown). Each electromagnet 2, 3 is provided with a coil 5. The electromagnetic clutch 1 has a disc 6 made of a ferromagnetic material, e.g. of iron, which is arranged between both electromagnets 2, 3 and which may be engaged with one or the other. The winding head also has a take-up plate shaft 7 which is provided on one end 8 with a take-up plate 9. The disc 6 is arranged on the other and upper end 10 of the shaft 7. A sensor 11 for sensing the position of the shaft 7 is mounted adjacent the shaft and is preferably a contactless one. The output of the position sensor 11 is connected to the input of a scaler 12.A preselection input of scaler 12 is conneted to the output of preselection circuit 13 and the output of scaler 12 is connected to the input of the first switch 14. The output of a trigger circuit 1 6 is connected to the input of a second switch 1 5 as well as to the resetting input of scaler 12. The output of the first switch 14 is connected to coil 5 of the stationary electromagnet 2 and the output of the second switch is connected to coil 5 of the rotary electromagnet 3 of the magnetic clutch 1.
The trigger circuit 1 6 is synchronised with circuits (not shown) of the weaving machine and when pulses are present on its output, a pulse resets scaler 12 and actuates simultaneously switch 1 5 so that a current flows to coil 5 of the rotary electromagnet 3 of the magnetic clutch 1.
By the action of the electromagnetic field of the coil of magnet 3, disc 6 is moved into engagement with the rotary electromagnet 3 so that the disc is rotated by the shaft 4. By this means shaft 7 of the take-up plate as well as the take-up plate begin to rotate. The angular position of shaft 7 is sensed by the position sensor 11 on the output of which pulses are present when shaft 7 rotates. These pulses are counted by scaler 1 2 on the output of which a pulse is present when counting the pulse number preselected by the preselection circuit 1 3. By this pulse, the first switch 14 is actuated connecting coil 5 of the stationary electromagnet 2 to a feed current. The electromagnetic field caused by this current moves disc 6 into engagement with the stationary electromagnet 2 whereby disc 6 as well as shaft 7 of the take-up plate and said plate 9 are stopped.
When a change of the metered length of the wound weft is required, i.e. of the angular adjustment of the take-up plate 9 during winding, the new metered length is preselected by a
means (not shown) in the preselection circuit 13, for example, by means of a change-over switch.
The winding head according to the invention can be used as a metering device also for weft
length metering on single-shed weaving
machines.
