Definitions

  • the fabric while being knitted vibrates and flutters somewhat at the areaof inspection.
  • Such motions of the fabric which are unavoidable in practice, produce small variations in the light reflected from the fabric as seen by the light receivers, and experience shows that the variations in the reflected light as caused by the motions of the fabric are sometimes sufiicient to stop the machine even though there is no defect in the fabric.
  • one of the objects of the present invention is to provide novel and improved scanning means, the light receivers of which see the variations in the .reflected light as caused by vibrations and fluttering of the fabric below the level of the variations as caused bya fault in the fabric and requiring a stoppage of the machine.
  • changes in the reflected light due to spurious signals resulting from the operational vibration and fluttering of the fabric cannot etfect an unnecessary and undesirable stoppage of the machine.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide novel and improved means for controlling the illumination of the fabric at the area of inspection so as to keep this illumination substantially constant and independent of vari- Sttes Patent ations in the surrounding illumination.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide novel and improved mounting means which assure that the distance between the scanning means and the fabric is maintained sufficiently-constant and uniform when 'and while the scanning means travels across the width of the fabric, even if the knitting machine has a very wide needle 'bar.
  • control assembly of the invention affords the advantageof greater compactness than. theretofore available thereby correspondingly-reducing the total width of the installation necessary to span the fabric.
  • Fig. l is adiagrammatic view ,of aknitting machine and the fabric emerging-therefrom.
  • Fig.2 is a plan view ofa stop motioninstallationaccordingtothe invention.
  • Fig. 3 is an elevationalside view of Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic view of the optical systemof the scanningrmeans.
  • Fig. 5 is atypical circuitsystem for producingauniform illumination of theareato be inspected.
  • Figs. 6 and 7 are graphsexemplifying the effectof the circuit system according to Fig. 5.
  • Fig. 8 is a plan view of a modification-of the control means for reversing the travel of the scanning means...
  • Fig. 9 is an elevational side view of Fig. 8.
  • Fig. 10 is a further elevational front view of the. scanning installation.
  • vFig. 11 is an elevational side view of Fig. 10, and
  • Fig. 12 is a block diagram of the entire installation.
  • this figure shows warp threadsl guided to a needle bar 2. While only rather fewsthreads are shown it should be-visualized that in actual practice there may. be thousands 01f? Warp threads.
  • Thefabric 3 which emerges from the needle bar is guided to a take-up roller 4 upon .which it is rolled up.
  • the line of inspection across which the scanning means travels back and forth is indicated by .a dashed line 5
  • the figure further shows as-curved lines 6 a typical pattern of fabric waves. These fabric waves are unavoidable-in practice.
  • the distance from peak. to peak of adjacent waves varies. The distance may be as short as two to four inches and it maybe considerably longer, but the wavesare always present.
  • the distances from peak to peak of adjacent Waves may and do vary, but no instance has been observed in which the distance from peak to peak is less than about two inches.
  • the present invention is based upon this observation and the scanning means of the invention permits to view portions of the fabric which are spaced extremely close to each other. In actual practice the viewed portions of the fabric may be spaced apart about 4 inch or less. This affords the advantage that the effect of the waves upon the reflection of light as seen by the light receivers is nullified since both the receivers see approximately the same condition on the fabric.
  • the exemplified installation comprises a scanning device generally designated by 10. This device rides back and forth across the width of the fabric on a traverse rail generally designated by 11. The rail is mounted at each end on a mounting device generally designated by 12. A control means generally designated by 13 serves to control the reversal of the scanning device at the end of each travel in either direction.
  • Fig. 4 shows the optical system of the scanning device.
  • the optical system comprises two lamps 15 and 16 the specific features of which will be more fully explained in connection with Figs. through 7, two light receivers 17 and 18 such as photo tubes or crystals, a lens system 19 and a beam splitter 20.
  • the beam splitter is shown as a thinly silvered mirror. Such a mirror has the optical property that it passes part of the incident light and refleets the remaining part of the light.
  • light receiver 17 is mounted in alignment with the optical axis of the lens system whereas light receiver 18 is mounted at a right angle thereto.
  • the lens system which views the area of the fabric to be inspected and brightly illuminated by lamps 15 and 16, is focused upon the light sensitive part of receivers 17 and 18.
  • the beam splitter may be mounted in any suitable manner.
  • a .casing 21 is shown the respective walls of which have each an opening 22 the area of which is such that they will pass light from an area larger than the fabric portion to be inspected by each light receiver.
  • Light beams actually received by the light receivers are controlled by masks 23 and 24 interposed between the beam splitter and each light receiver. While the masks are shown as a wall of a casing 25 and 26 respectively, it is apparent that the masks may also be in form of separate discs or plates. Each mask has a small opening 27 and 28 respectively. A circular aperture in the mask has been found to be most suitable.
  • apertures 27 and 28 The essential feature of apertures 27 and 28 is that the two apertures are correlated with each other, the beam splitter and the lens system so that the two receivers will sequentially receive light from different but closely adjacent portions of the fabric area inspected at each moment.
  • the relative location of the viewed fabric portions can be very accurately controlled by slightly varying the relative location of the apertures.
  • the difference in the location of the inspected fabric portions is indicated in the figure by dashed lines indicating different beams received by receivers 17 and 18.
  • each lamp is set in a shield 30 and 31 respectively which shields also act as reflectors.
  • the forward part of the bulb of each lamp may be frosted thereby avoiding shadows due to bulb imperfections.
  • the source of current which is used for the lamps is for all practical purposes a 60 cycle A.-C. line. It has been found that if the alternating current is applied directly to the lamps, the 60 cycle fluctuations in the supply voltage cause cycle fluctuations in the filament temperature and that the changes in the light output caused by such fluctuations are large enough to interfere with the defect detecting operation. In a typical case, the light from the lamps would fluctuate 120 times per second reducmg the light output 2% at each fluctuation. Defects may produce a light reduction of the same order of magnitude which would interfere with the discovery of many defects.
  • the circuit system according to Fig. 5 serves the purpose of eliminating or at least reducing to a harmless level the 60 cycle fluctuations in the supply voltage.
  • step-down transformer 37 the primary terminals 38 of which are fed with A.-C. line voltage and which converts the light voltage to a suitable low voltage.
  • This voltage is full-wave rectified by a rectifier 32 and filtered by series inductance means 33 and shunting capacitors 34 and 35 before being fed to lamp filaments 15' and 16' respectively. While only one inductance and two capacitors are shown, it should be understood that a greater number of inductances and capacitors may be employed.
  • Fig. 6 shows the rectified A.-C. and the corresponding output of light.
  • the light output produced as the result of the rectification is only slightly better than the original A.-C.
  • the aforementioned filters serve to remove the ripple. While the capacitors and the inductances are capable of removing the ripple to a satisfactory extent, a
  • the thermal inertia of the filament of a lamp as now available in the market is such that the filament responds to a material extent by changing its temperature and with it the output of light at a rate of 120 cycles per second, but that it cannot respond at a rate of 240 cycles per second (which is the second harmonic of 120 cycles), or at higher frequencies.
  • the filtering means need to be efiicient only at 120 cycles but do not require efliciency at the harmonics of 120 cycles.
  • a shunting capacitor 36 is provided and the inductance 33 is tuned to resonance at 120 cycles per second.
  • the impedance of the filter network to 120 cycles per second is extremely high.
  • the resulting light output has almost no 120 cycle ripple. While the lamp current shows higher frequencies, the light output of the filament does not show the same.
  • Fig. 7 shows the filtered D.-C. and the corresponding light output. As may be noted, the light output is practically constant. Consequently, the lamps will supply a uniform illumination to the fabric area to be inspected.
  • the scanning device 10 travels back and forth on rail 11 across the width of the fabric.
  • the rail must span the fabric and ,is frequentlyof considerable length so that it will sag unless made of uneconomically heavy material. Sagging of the rail obviously causes a change in the distance between the opticomprising; two plates 41 and 42 joined by any suit- :able means such .asa cross bar 43.
  • the bracket mounts a. device for exerting a, downward pressureupon the rail .portions overhanging grippers 40. These means are shown as a screw 44 which can be secured in position by a set screw 45.
  • each gripper ,40 forms ineifectthe fulcrum of a two-arm lever sothat-by raising or lowering screw 44 the long arm of the lever, or in .other words the long middle portion .of the rail can be lowered or raised to compensate for sagging of-the ,rail.
  • Each bracket is supported on a screw bar 46 which is threaded in a stanchion 47 and can be adjusted, as to height by any suitable means such as a lock nut 48.
  • the base of the stanchion on one side of the scanning assembly mounts a motor assembly 49driving a pulley 50 for supplying the power to move the scanning device back and forth ,and a control box 51 housing the equipment required for controlling the motor and the reversal thereof.
  • the motor assembly and the control assembly .should be visualized asbeing of conventional design and a detailed description thereof is not essential for the understanding of the invention. For the sake, ofclarity .of illustration the motor and the control assembly are shown rotated through an angle from the actual operating position.
  • aforedescribed components of the scanning device aremounted on a carriage 52.
  • a drive cord or belt such as anylon-cord 53 is attached tothe carriage byany suit- ;able means such as a-hooki54.
  • the cord- is guided over a; roller 55 disposed between bracket arms ⁇ Hand 42,
  • a reversing cam 60 is provided to reverse the direction of the carriage at eachend ofits travel.
  • This cam is shown in form of a bar outwardly slanted at each end to facilitate coaction with a roller 61.
  • This roller is supported on an arm 62 the position of which controls a switch 63 in a manner well known in the art.
  • Each switch is mounted on a bracket64 secured by any suitable means such as screws to the rail laterally protruding therefrom as can best be seen in Fig. 2.
  • Bracket .64 also mounts a springy bumper 65 which coactswith a suitable abutment surface on the carriage if the reversing action failsto operate. Actuation of'switch 63 by engagement of its roller 61 with respective slanted end of cam 60 controls the control equipment in box 51 so as to eifect reversal of the motor.
  • a corresponding arrangement of a switch 63 and a bumper 65 are provided near the other end of the rail also.
  • the motor and the motor control shown in Figs. 2 and 3 as being associated with the left hand stanchion may of course alternativelybe associated with the other stanchion.
  • roller 61 whichby coaction with reversing cam controls the r spective switch63 isdisposed on the farside of the control assembly relativeto rail 11 and cam 60 is-correspondingly widely spaced from the rail.
  • the design of Figs. 8 and 9 shows a location of roller 61 an d arm 62 which is closely adjacent to rail 11. The relocation of theswitch and the associatedcomponents permits to move cam :60 cor- As a result, the overall width of the control assembly as seen .in the direction of travel of the fabricrelative to the rail is materially reduced.
  • Figs. 10 and ll show anoverall elevational front view and side view respectively of-the entire assembly. For sake of clarity certain detailsshown in Figs. 2' and ⁇ have been omitted.
  • Figs. 10 and 11 also show anarrangementfor guiding the electric connections between the-scanning device 10 and ;a control cabinet which houses'the electrical components'controlledby the signals received from the scanningdevice-and in turn controlling -the;stopping of the machine upondetection of adefect .in.the fabric.
  • the extension of oneiof the stanchions may'also be used tomount control cabinet 70.
  • the upper ends of both stanchions are joined by a bar 72 which mounts a trolley rail 73.
  • a carrier 74 which guides the cable 75 leading from the scanner to controlcabinet 70.
  • carrier 74 will move along the trolley ,railwhen the scanner carriage travels backand forth on traverse rail 11 thereby assuring that cable 75 cannot become entangled with any parts of the assembly or be unduly flexed.
  • FIG. 12 shows the electric components of the entire assembly.
  • the coaction of the several electrical components of the assembly is essentially self-evident from the legends applied-to the block diagram.
  • the circuit system which is controlled by the signals received from the light receivers such as photo tubes 17 and 18 does not constitute part of the present invention and need hence, not to be described or shown in detail. It suffices to state that loss of light from both photo tubes simultaneously tends to balanceout whereas loss of light sequentialy tends to cause an :unbalance which stops the machine. Circuit systems suitable for the purpose are fully described in Patent 2,7 1.1,- 094 issued June 21, 1955 in which one-applicant-herein is one of the inventors.
  • the traverse rail may be inserted between the stanchions with a slight upwardly arching camber to compensate for the weight of the scanning device and the rail.
  • the rail is adjusted by means of set screw 44 so that the spacing between the fabric Y portance are in the form of lines which travel-'with-the fabric movement, that is, approximately perpendicular to the movement of the scanner.
  • a defect in form of a line will be viewed sequentially first by one light receiver and then by the other. Due to the aforedescribed distortions of the fabric as it emerges from the needle bar, the line defect is capable of being at different angles to the direction of the scanner movement. For example, it may be at 30 to the direction of the scanner movement on one side and at 150 on the other side.
  • the two light receivers may still view such defect sequentially. Furthermore, by adjusting the size of the apertures lack of uniformity in the .sensitivity of the light receivers and in the transparency of beam splitter 20 can be conveniently compensated. Light receivers for instance photo tubes as commercially available do not have a sensitivity suificiently identical for the purpose. Similarly, thinly silvered mirrors as used for the beam splitter reflect considerably more light than they will transmit and the reflected light does not have the same spectral composition as the transmitted light. As previously mentioned, all such variations may 'be conveniently and precisely corrected by suitable selection of the size of the apertures 27 and 28. To facilitate adjustment of the apertures the same may be formed by shutters for instance of the iris type, or by employing simple mechanical slides which vary the efiective aperture.
  • the reversing cam 60 actuates the respective miniature switch thereby reversing the direction of travel of the carriage.
  • the resulting unbalance of the light receivers generates signals activating the relay for stopping the machine and also energizing a signal light as indicated in Fig. 12.
