  • the present invention covers a process for warp let off from a thread shaft in a weaving loom and a warp unwinder for performing such process.
  • the warp let off is usually performed through rotation of the warp shaft or thread shaft, which is normally set up at the rear of the loom.
  • the diameter of the warp shaft is reduced and, owing to the fact that the length of the yielded thread must remain strictly constant, this implies that the shaft speed must be stepped up as the warp shaft diameter decreases.
  • the thread delivery depends simultaneously on the pick density or, in other words, on the number of shoots per length unit of the fabric and on the interweaving i.e. the] additional warp length which it is necessary to yield on the length of the fabric obtained.
  • the interweaving proceeds from the undulations made by the warp thread to shape the fabric. This depends on a large number of parameters, to such extent that it is not possible to reckon the interweaving with sufficient accuracy in order to have it intervene in the mechanism (f.i. in the shape of a cog-wheel transmission or similar). The latter is therefore an unknown.
  • the subject of this invention consists of a process for warp let off as well as an unwinder of an entirely new design, which enables to obtain perfect unwinding.
  • This is achieved, according to the invention, by applying a process mainly consisting in: transforming the motion of a movable part of the pulling gear into an electric magnitude inversely proportional to the pick density, transforming continuously the diameter of the thread shaft into an electric magnitude inversely proportional to such diameter, detecting at least the warp tension variations and transforming them into an electric magnitude proportional therewith, conducting the rotary speed of the said electic motor by means of these three electric magnitudes in such manner that this speed remains constantly inversely proportional to the shoot density and with the thread shaft diameter and that this speed further changes in the same direction as the said warp tension variations during normal operation of the loom.
  • this unwinder can be operated in backflow just as in normal working.
  • This unwinder further keeps the warp tension constant during the stoppages of the loom; to such purpose it will do to feed the electric part.
  • the unwinder will restore the warp tension and bring it back to its correct value, because during this long stoppage the alterations in the ambient atmospherical conditions (temperature, moistness) have influenced the warp and altered its tension.
  • the weaving loom may therefore be started with a warp tension which is exactly the same as the one prevailing when the loom was stopped. This process avoids stripes on the fabric. All unwinding devices known to this day improve such tension fluctuations only after a more or less long operation (according to their sensitiveness) and therefore cause a defect which is visible on many fabrics.
  • the unwinder referred to hereabove adapts itself to strongly varying deliveries, thus affording the weaving of an ample range of fabrics.
  • the warp tension of this unwinder can be regulated very easily to a quite large extent.
  • the unwinder adapts itself to all looms, but in point of fact this adaptation is easier on looms on which the advance of the fabric in uninterrupted and not intermittent.
  • this unwinder has been reduced to the utmost; the warp shaft is driven by an elec tric motor with variable speed through the medium of a reduction gear constaining at least one worm wormwheel torque, so as to warrant the irreversibility of the system.
  • the main part of this unwinder is of course this part, which controls the speed of the electric motor.
  • This control is carried out electronically and can be performed in different ways, starting from a single and same basic principle. in other words, the basic principle of this unwinder is liable to lead to different designs, according to the means used.
  • the basic principle of this unwinder consists in recording at various suitable points three kinds of data referring respectively to the shoot density obtained, the warp shaft diameter and the warp tension, in processing such data and in causing them to cooperate in such a manner that under their influence the rotary speed of the motor and consequently that of the warp shaft be inversely proportional at any moment to the shoot density obtained, inversely proportional to the warp shaft diameter and in addition is influenced in the correct direction by the fluctuations of the warp tension.
  • the means used with a view to reaching this end may vary according to the nature of the electric motor used, the nature of the data recorders, the data processing method(s) chosen, etc.
  • FIG. 1 shows the fundamental diagram of the mechanical part of the unwinder and of the location of the various data collectors on the weaving loom.
  • FIG. 2 shows the itemized block diagram of an application form of the invention, which does not make allowance for the backflow.
  • FIG. 3 shows a block diagram similar to that of FIG. 2, which however makes allowance for a backflow.
  • FIG. 4 shows a special feature of the motor feed in case a backflow is provided for.
  • warp l unwinds from shaft 2 and first passes on a fixed roller 3, then to a roller 4 before arriving at the heddles 5, which constitute the compartment.
  • the fabric 6 is formed at feel 7 of the fabric and is regularly pulled forward by roller 8 which is usually called sand roller.
  • roller 8 which is usually called sand roller.
  • the latter is driven from the lower spindle 9 of the weaving loom, which carries a screw-shaped cog-wheel 10, which interlocks with another screw-shaped cog-wheel 11, secured on a spindle 12.
  • the rotary motion of this spindle I2 is transmitted by the cog-wheel l3, l4, l and 16 to a spindle 17, on which a worm 18 is secured, which drives a wormwheel 9, which in turn drives a cog-wheel 20, the latter interlocking with a wheel 21 which is secured on the spindle of the sand roller 8.
  • the cog-wheels l3, 14, and 16 determine the number of shots per length unit of the fabric, i.e. the pick density and are therefore usually indicated under the name of "shooting wheels". It will do to change one or several shooting wheels in order to modify the pick density.
  • a cog-wheel 22 On spindle 17 a cog-wheel 22 is also secured and a magnetic recorder 23 is located close to the cogs of this cog-wheel. Every cog positioned before this recorder will act on the latter and the regular and uninterrupted rotary motion of wheel 22 will therefore induce an alternating current in this recorder, whose frequency is dependent on the pick density obtained, and more ac curately, inversely proportional to this pick density.
  • the magnetic recorder 23 may be substituted by an optical recorder for instance, which reacts under the action of the beams emitted by a source of light and are reflected in the cogs or pass through the cog cavities.
  • the cog-wheel 22 may in such case be substituted by a disc with holes and chinks or also with alternative reflecting and non-reflecting parts.
  • the whole wheel recorder may also be substituted by a small alternator.
  • any system may be adopted which is capable of transforming a rotary motion into an electric magnitude inversely proportional to the pick density.
  • This system should be set up between the shot wheels or an equivalent system and the sand roller, and preferably of the spindle whose rotary speed is highest. In this way, a modification of the shot wheels causes automati cally, in this realization instance, an alteration of the induced current frequency. When the loom is stopped, there is no more induced current and consequently the frequency is nil.
  • a shaft feeler consisting for instance of a lever 24 rotating around a spindle 25 and provided at its free end with a roller (or shoe) 26, constantly kept in contact with the warp threads on the warp shaft through the action of spring 27, controls, by means of a multiplier with cog-wheels 28-29 a recorder 30 which, in the case considered, is nothing else but a potentiometer with linear characteristic, whose resistance is proportional to the diameter of the warp shaft. The current that passes through the potentiometer under constant tension is then inversely proportional to the warp shaft diameter.
  • the warp shaft scanner may, instead of pivoting or rotating around a spindle, also be a scanner with rectilinear radial shifting; in such case the transmission of the motion is carried out with a toothed cramp and cogwheel.
  • Roller 4 on which warp 1 runs, it shown fixed in the case illustrated on diagram 1.
  • a warp tension fluctuation results in a variation of the pressure exerted by bearings 31 of the roller on their anchoring pedestal 32.
  • a pressure recorder 33 such as a piezo-quartz or ditto ceramic for instance, positioned between the bearings and the pedestal, will react on such variations and will afford a paramter (tension and/or current) which at any moment is proportional to the warp tension.
  • Roller 4 may also be movable as in all mechanical unwinders; the pressure recorder would in such case be substituted by a displacement recorder.
  • the warp is subject to cyclical tension variations, which are chiefly ascribable to the crossing and the opening of the compartment, it will do to integrate the variable diameter, which is supplied by recorder 33, using notorious means for this purpose in order to obtain its mean value, rid of the cyclical fluctuations.
  • This mean value corresponds with the mean value of the warp tension.
  • the rotary motion of warp shaft 2 is obtained by an electric motor 34 through the medium of a reduction consisting of the cog-wheels 35 (secured on the motor spindle end) 36, 37, 38 and the worm 39, which interlocks with wheel 40, which is secured on the warp shaft spindle.
  • the electric motor 34 is a direct current motor with constant field. Therefore, its speed under constant load is only dependent on the power fed to it.
  • the impulses incumbent on the motor have a rectangular shape. Their frequency is inversely proportional to the pick density and their duration inversely proportional to the warp shaft diameter. Such impulses are obtained from the electric connections controlled by the recorders 23 and 30.
  • the comprehensive device is designed in such manner that, in case of an interweaving default, the warp length afl'orded by the warp shaft is exactly equal to the length of the fabric obtained. In such case unwinding is mathematically correct; however, due to the fact that the interweaving is practically never nil, the delivery will actually be slightly too small and the warp tension will slightly increase.
  • the relative speed increase adapts itself automatically to the (unknown) value of the interweaving and is of course influenced by the casual tension variations of the warp.
  • P pick density (number of shots per fabric length unit) in shots per cm. expressed in decimals E inverweaving R, total transmission ratio between sand roller 8 and cog-wheel 22 R total transmission ratio between driving motor 34 and warp shaft 2 (both these ratios are taken in the same dirction higher than I).
  • Z number of cogs of wheels 22 f number of periods per shot in recorder 23 N number of revolutions per shot of motor 34 t impulse time
  • a revolution of sand roller 8 corresponds to:
  • Comparison (2) determines the connection between the pick density P and the frequency of the alternative current induced in recorder 23, whereas comparison (3) expresses the connection between the warp shaft diameter D and the impulse time.
  • the first term of the second member corresponds with the speed generated by the impulses, while the second term corresponds with the speed increase caused by the direct current component.
  • the latter term indicates that the speed increase is proportional not only to the interweaving E, but also to f and r, as already explained previously. The casual tension variations of the warp influence this last term only.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 differ from each other merely through the addition in the second diagram of a backflow system, which does not appear in the first one.
  • an alternative current (or pulsed current) is induced with a frequency that it is inversely proportional to the pick density.
  • the amplitude of this current also varies according to the pick density and the shape of its wave depends on the type of recorder used and on the wheel 22.
  • this electronic device can be placed in two conditions, one of them stable and the other one unstable.
  • a suitable impulse at tbe inlet of the reversing switch causes it to tip into its unstable condition. It comes back automatically to its stable condition after a certain time, depending on the value of some of its constituent elements. In the contemplated execution, this time is provided so as to be slightly shorter than the period of a maximum frequency. This slight difference is required for interrupting the thyristors current (see further on).
  • the tipping switch 41 is connected with a capacity booster 42, fed by feeder 43, the outlet of which is connected with a thyristor conducting block 44 and with the anod of at least one thyristor 45.
  • Recorder 30 is also connected with conducting block 44.
  • every current period of recorder 23 causes the monostable switch 41 to tip into its unstable condition; it comes back to its stable condition before the action of the second period and gives at its outlet some impulses of rectangular shape, with constant amplitude, constant duration and a frequency equal to the inlet impulses.
  • the rectangular impulses obtained are now reinforced for the purpose of giving them the required capacity and are then conducted to the motor via the thyristor (or a set of thyristors connected in parallel).
  • the capacity is obtained by a feeding block which is known as such.
  • the thyristor is a conducted diode, which becomes conductive or, in other words, which allows a current to pass only when a suitable impulse is sent to its conducting electrode.
  • the current in the thyristor is interrupted automatically as soon as the tension falls under a certain value which depends on the type of thyristor.
  • the current in the thyristor will be interrupted at the end of every impulse and that it is sufficient to cause the thyristor to become conductive at a variable moment between the beginning and the end of the impulse to allow only a more or less large portion of this impulse i.e. of a more or less long duration, to pass, in order to alter in this way the fed power and consequently the motor speed.
  • a conducting block supplies the impulses required for making the thyristor conductive.
  • Such impulses are generated by a well-known process from a linking with variable time constant.
  • Such time constant is conducted by recorder 30, i.e. in fact by the warp shaft diameter.
  • the rotary speed of motor 34 changes simultaneously and dependent on the number of impulses which the motor receives (pick density) and in relation to the duration of such impulses (diameter of warp shaft).
  • the conducting block 44 of the thyristor (of the thyristors 45) is regulated to such extent that, when the proportion between the diameter of the full and the diameter of the empty warp shaft 2, for instance is equal to 6, the portion of the impulse which motor 34 receives at the outset of the warp shaft only reaches one sixth of the impulse portion it receives at the end of the warp shaft.
  • the capacity reinforcement 42 is adjusted so that the delivery of the warp shaft 2 is mathematically correct in case there is no interweaving.
  • a changeover switch 46 enables to alter the direction of the current throughflow in the motor anchor so that the rotary direction of motor 34 is changed over.
  • thyristors 45a, 45b, 45c, 45d arranged as shown on diagram 4, are then required.
  • the thyristors 45b and 45c only can be made conductive and then the current is introduced into the motor from the bottom to the top (the direction of the current used here is the conventional direction from positive to negative).
  • the conductive making impulses only reach the thyristors 45a and 45d and the current is introduced into the motor from the top to the bottom.
  • the change-over switch 46 may be a mere double direction switch, set up on the passage of the conductive making impulses and actuated for instance by the lever of the backflow device in case its nature is mechanical, or by a small relay in case its nature is electro-magnetic. This change-over switch may even be purely electronic.
  • the warp tension and its fluctuations call forth in recorder 33 a current and/or a tension with fluctuations of even nature, which is placed at an integrating circuit 47, which restores its mean value and thus eliminates any cyclical fluctuations.
  • This mean value is then compared, in 48, with a fixed reference value 49.
  • to compare means to make the difference. Considering that, the interweaving being nil, the delivery of the warp shaft is mathematically correct, the difference would also be nil in this case. In fact, this difference would oscillate around the nil value depending on the casual tension modifications.
  • this additional current (and in a more general way its mean value must be proportional not only to the interweaving but also to the mean value of the impulses, in order that the relative speed increase of motor 34 be constant for a given interweaving.

  • integrating circuit 50 which restores its mean value.
  • the outlet of integrating circuit 50 is connected with a rectifier bridge 51 so that, whatever the direction of the impulses, their mean value always keeps the same direction.
  • This mean value is then sent to a capacity booster 52 with sensitiveness regulation 53, which is fed by a wellknown feeding block 54, which moreover receives the difference between the mean value of the tension and the reference value.
  • the reinforcement of the difference is thus modulated by the mean value of the im' pulses, and booster 52 gives at its outlet a current which is proportional to both these parameters.
  • This current is set at the connection terminals of motor 34 and superposes itself to the impulses with a view to modifying the motor speed in this way.
  • booster S2 is designed in such manner that in such cases the direction of the current it supplies also changes over. This current is then substracted from such impulses and slows down the motor.
  • This fixed substitution value can be sent to booster 52 by means of a small switch 55, which closes when the loom stops for instance through the action of the coupling lever in case of mechanical drive or through the action of a small relay in case of an electromagnetic driving system.
  • This switch 55 may also be of a purely electronic nature.
