DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a loom for weaving triaxial fabrics and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional triaxial loom is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 60-5.
No. 4,417, U.S. Pat. No. 4,319,922, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,319,922, a moving means for moving in a weft direction a plurality of warp guiding hedles constituting a heddle row substantially opposed in the front-rear direction over the entire width of the weaving. Opening means provided in correspondence with the moving means to form the shed by moving the heddle row back and forth, and arranging the heddle arranged at both sides of the heddle row and arriving at the end of the heddle row into the opposing heddle row. A heddle rotating means for rotating, a driving means for pushing in a weft inserted at the time of forward crossing of the heddle row, a weft processing device and a cam mechanism for driving each means, and each means is provided. By operating at a predetermined timing, for example, a triaxial woven fabric having a structure in which two warps intersect with one weft is inclined in the weft insertion direction.

[0003] Of the cam mechanisms, the cam mechanisms of the moving means, the opening means, and the driving means are disposed at front and rear positions across the woven fabric so as to face the entire length of the weaving width.

[0004]

In the above-mentioned conventional apparatus,
Since the cam mechanism is arranged back and forth across the weave of the woven fabric, and over the entire length of the weaving fabric, the weft when the warp passes through the heddle due to poor accessibility to the heddle or when there is a mistake in weft insertion. There is a problem that it is difficult to perform manual operations such as a removing operation and a process of preparing the removed weft for the next weft insertion. In addition, since the cam mechanism extends over the entire length of the weaving width,
There was also a disadvantage that centralized lubrication was not possible. In a conventional triaxial loom, for example, when a change in the warp density is required, the cam mechanism is disassembled and removed, and then the transverse feed bar and the opening means of the moving means separately attached to the frame are fixed. The bar had to be disassembled and replaced with a different guide groove pitch of the heddle, which required extremely troublesome manual work.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve these problems, the present invention relates to a loom for weaving a multi-axial woven fabric as described above, in which a moving means, an opening means, and a heddle rotating means are used. A cam box is provided on each side of the weaving unit in the weft direction, and at least cam means for moving means, opening means, and driving means are respectively provided in the cam box, and each means corresponding to an output shaft of the cam mechanism in the cam box. And obstructions are eliminated from the range of manual work. According to a second aspect of the present invention, the weaving unit is integrally formed by providing the moving means, the opening means, and the heddle rotating means of the first aspect on a pair of front and rear support beams and a connecting plate connecting the support beams.

[0006]

[Function] By installing cam boxes on both sides of the weaving unit and storing the cam mechanism, which was widely arranged before and after the machine stand, in the cam box, the front of the weaving of the woven fabric, that is, the front and back of the heddle, is widely vacant. The accessibility to the heddle is improved. In addition, centralized lubrication is facilitated by integrating the cam mechanism in the cam box. Also, when changing the weft density, simply disconnect the connection between the support beam and the cam box, and simply separate each means on the weaving unit from the cam mechanism that drives it.
The unit can be replaced with another weaving unit.

Next, the drive system 220 of the loom will be described. In FIG. 28, the drive system 220 is connected to the inching motor 221 via the clutch unit 222 as shown in FIG.
On the right side, the rapier cam 203b and the cam 212 of the weft release device 210 are reached, and on the left side, the rapier cam 203a, the weft insertion cutting and holding device 175, and the weft insertion drive system 225 that reaches the two groove cams 170 and 188 of the weft insertion presser lever 162. The cam mechanism 40, 70, 90, 115 remaining from the main motor 226 via the clutch unit 227 is divided into another drive system 230 for simultaneously driving the cam mechanisms. Other drive system 23
Reference numeral 0 includes a drive cam 228 of the cell page cutter 161 and a drive mechanism 229 for rotating the warp sending section 10 in synchronization with the movement of the heddle row accompanying weaving. Weft insertion drive system 2
One of the clutch bodies 231 of the clutch 233 is key-connected to the line shaft 224 in the inside 25, and the other clutch body 232 connected to and disconnected from the clutch body 231 is rotatably supported by the line shaft 224. The other clutch body 232 constantly meshes with a gear 234 in another drive system 230. In this embodiment, the clutch body 23
With the clutch units 222 connected, the inching motor 221 is disconnected from the weft drive system 225 by the clutch unit 222, and the entire drive system 220 is operated by the main motor 226.
When the weft breaks, the main motor 226 is stopped, the clutch 233 is disconnected, the inching motor 221 is connected to the weft drive system 225 by the clutch unit 222, and only the weft drive system 225 is operated. The inching motor 221 is used as a main motor, and the other drive system 2
The main motor of the weft drive system 225 may be used as both the drive motor of the entire drive system 220 and the motor of the weft drive system 225 by omitting the main motor connected to the drive unit 30. The drive cam 228 of 161 may be included in the weft insertion drive system 225.

In FIG. 28, reference numeral 66 denotes a timing detector for detecting the rotation timing of the drive system 220 of the loom 1. The solenoid 194 of the weft selecting device 190 determines a predetermined weft insertion timing by a timing signal from the timing detector 66. And the timing detector 6
When the return confirmation switch 7, limit switch 9 and thread break sensor 65 are not output at a predetermined timing in response to the timing signal from 6, the machine is stopped.

In such a configuration, the upper row of heads U
The warp supply section 10 is inserted into the tip holes of a large number of
, The warp threads a and b are passed through to the cloth fell FL, and the warp threads a and b do not pass through the lower heddle rows L1 and L2. Further, in the drive system 220, it is assumed that the clutch unit 222 is disengaged, the clutch unit 227 is connected, and the operation is performed with the clutch 233 connected. Then, the other drive system 230 and the weft insertion drive system 225 are all driven only by the main motor 226. Now, each of the heddles 23 of the heddle rows U1 and U2 is set at the retracted position shown in FIG.
And the state in which the shoulder 23a is engaged. First, the transverse feed bar 28 is moved to the pitch P by a drive mechanism from the cam mechanism 40 corresponding to the head row U1 to the swing lever 35.
Only to the right in Figure 2. Thereby, each heddle 23 of the heddle row U1 is fed in the weave width direction by the pitch P (FIG. 29)
(A)). At this time, the head row U2 does not move. Then, the driving mechanism including the L-shaped lever 55 from the cam mechanism 70 causes the head row U1, U2 and the corresponding front / rear moving plate 51 to approach each other.
Enter between the heddles 23 on the other row facing each other, and the warps a and b passed through the heddle rows U1 and U2 intersect.
After that, the weft Y is inserted into the shed by the rapier device 200.

Prior to the weft insertion, the previous cutting of the weft yarn Y,
Next, supply of the weft Y entering the rapier 201 is performed. In FIG. 20, the weft Y inserted last time is connected to a weft bobbin (not shown) via one yarn guide 195a of the weft sending member 195 on the way. In this state, the rotary shaft 165 is swung by the groove cam 170, and the weft holding lever 162 is tilted from the standby position D1 to the weft holding position D2, holds the previous weft, and then the cell page cutter 16
2 acts to cut the weft. When the rotation shaft 165 swings, the stopper 192d is locked and the delivery member supporting piece 192 is locked.
23 is released to the left in FIG. Next, when the solenoid 194 corresponding to the weft sending member 195 for guiding the weft Y to be inserted is operated,
A selected one of the sending member support pieces 192 swings, and the weft sending member 195 connected to the selected one moves largely to or near the path of the rapier 201 while holding the weft Y. As a result, the selected weft Y greatly enters the weft hooking area YE.

Next, the weft hooking piece 177 that has been waiting at the weft hooking position E1 prior to the sending operation swings toward the standby position E2, and hooks the weft Y that has been sent in the middle. When returning to the standby position E2, the hooked weft Y is held between the weft hooking piece 177 and the gripping member 183, and the portion beyond that is cut between the movable blade 178 and the fixed blade 181. Immediately after the weft Y is hooked by the weft hooking member 177, the solenoid 194 is demagnetized, and the force of the spring 193 causes the weft sending member 1 to move.
95 returns to the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. The weft Y selected in this way is hung between the yarn guide 195a, the weft hooking piece 177, and the gripping member 183, and is located in front of the path of the rapier 201 (see FIGS. 20 and 21).

The weft feeding member 195 is operated by the solenoid 194, and has no mechanical connection with the rapier device 200 or the weft hooking piece 177 by a cam. However, the rotating shaft 165 of the weft holding lever 162, which is in a mechanical connection with the rapier device 200, etc., has a mechanical connection with the locking lever 196 and the stopper 192d, and the rotating shaft 165 is driven by the groove cam 170. Therefore, when the locking lever 196 is locked with the stopper pin 192d, that is, when the weft holding lever 162 is at the standby position D1 (in this state, the grip rapier 201 enters the weft), the solenoid 194 operates. However, it is possible to prevent the weft feeding member 195 from performing a feeding operation, and there is no interference with the rapier 201. That is, the operation is limited only when the rapier 201 is not performing the weft insertion operation.
There is no risk of interfering with the rapier 201 even if the weft Y is moved to or near one path, and the weft Y can largely enter the weft hooking area YE. When the weft Y is held in front of the rapier 201 in this manner, the grip rapier 201 moves forward, grips the weft Y, transfers it to the rapier 202 at the center of the weaving width, and the rapier 201 returns to its original position. The rapier 202 holds the weft Y and returns to the right end. In synchronization with this, the pressing piece 214 is lowered by the cam 212 to release the weft Y from the rapier 202, and almost simultaneously with the non-illustrated weft on the non-weft insertion side by a cell page cutter. Cut off the end.

After weft insertion, weft holding by the beater 110 is performed. One beater (left one in FIG. 29 (b)) 110 holds the cloth fell FL while keeping the previous weft Y pressed. In this holding state, the ratchet mechanism of the intermittent rotation mechanism operates at the timing shown in FIG.
The full width temple 125 is rotated by a predetermined weft pitch in the cloth feeding direction, whereby the previous cloth fell FL is lowered (FIG. 29B). Then, in synchronism with the retreat of the head rows U1 and U2 away from each other, the beater 1 on the left side
10 releases the pushing, and the right beater 110 moves to the standby position B.
1 and enters between warp yarns a and b to hold down the weft yarn Y ( FIG. 2 ) .
9 (c), (d)).

When the weft Y is pressed down, the previous cloth fell Fl has moved downward, and the weft Y only needs to be pushed into the space formed by the warps a and b, without forcibly lowering the cloth. Therefore, an extremely small pushing force is sufficient, and the rigidity of the beater 110 can be reduced to make it lighter. Further, since the full-width temple 125 is rotated positively, even if the outer diameter becomes considerably large and the weight increases, the winding force of the cloth may be exactly the same as the conventional one, and as a result, carbon fibers which are easily broken at a small curvature may be obtained. The full width temple 125 enables weaving without deteriorating the quality.

Subsequently, the head row U1 does not move laterally, but moves the head row U2 by the pitch P in the opposite direction to the head row U1,
Hereinafter, the same operation as that described with reference to FIGS. 29B to 29D is performed on the heddle row U2, and a known triaxial woven fabric is woven. Note that the heddle 23 that has reached the moving end thereof during the lateral movement of the heddle rows U1 and U2 retreats to the end of the other side of the heddle row facing the transfer body 81 of the heddle rotation mechanism 80. Then, the transfer body 81 moves following the lateral movement of the other side of the row of heddles, and the heddle 23 of the transfer body 81 is moved from the transfer body 81 to the other side of the row of heddles by the subsequent forward movement of the row of heddles. Is moved to the corresponding fixed bar 50.

When a weft break occurs during weaving, the main motor 226 is stopped and the machine stand is stopped. Next, the clutch unit 222 is connected, and the clutch 233 is disconnected. When the inching motor 221 is driven in the state where there is a weft insertion error in this way, only the weft insertion drive system 225 is operated, the weft supply device supplies the weft Y, the rapier device 200 inserts the weft, and the opposite weft insertion side. The weft Y is released from the rapier 202 and the weft Y is automatically supplied to the place where the weft insertion error has occurred.

If one or several of the warps a and b are broken during weaving, the broken warps a and b have to be passed through the guide paddle 23. Since they are housed in the left and right cam boxes 2 and 3, the front and rear of the head row U1 and U2 are widely vacant, so that the operator can easily approach the head row U1 and U2, and the workability is good.

In this embodiment, the temple support 126 for swinging the full-length temple 125 and the fixed temple support 1
Since the full width temple 125 is rotatably supported between the 32, the temple support 126 is positioned at the standby position C1 shown in FIG. 16 and the full width temple 125 is placed on the temple receiver 131. Head row U1, U2 during the clockwork
It is extremely easy to pass a large number of warps a and b passing through the lower side of the full width temple 125 placed on the temple receiver 131, and then the full length temples 125 are threaded by the screw feed bar 127. Temple support 1 across
26, 132 can be supported.

As described above, according to the present invention, the cam mechanism which occupies a wide space over the entire length of the weaving width before and after the conventional machine stand is housed in the cam boxes on both sides in the weft direction of the weaving unit. The front of the row is wide open, the accessibility to the row of heddles is improved, and the work of passing the warp through the heddle, the weft processing and the maintenance can be facilitated. Further, since the cam mechanisms are integrated in the cam box, there is an advantage that the centralized lubrication for the cam mechanisms is facilitated. And claim 2
In this case, in addition to the advantage that the front surfaces of the heddle rows are widely opened, the weaving unit is integrally connected, so that it is extremely easy to replace the whole weaving unit when the warp density is changed.
