  • Said actuating means [51] Int 0 1324.33; are operable to rotate said second end of said torsion bar in a predetermined sense by means of said oneway coupling.
  • a ratchet wheel is corotationally connected to said reed shaft.
  • a locking pawl is movable into and out of locking engagement with said ratchet wheel.
  • Holding-down means serve to hold said locking 5 2H 9 ,3 71 9., ,7 5 U7 6 2 .18 M2 1 m2 4 2 9 MS 9 m7 mm 2 1 .w F 8 5 pawl in locking engagement with said ratchet wheel to hold said reed shaft against rotation during said rota- 139/188 R tion of said second end of said torsion bar in said pre- 1 451 4? determined sense by said actuating means.
  • This invention relates to a drive system for intermittently rotating a reed roller of a flat weaving machine, in which the reed consists ofa multiplicity of thin discs, which are aligned on a common shaft and are provided with dogs.
  • This object is accomplished according to the invention with a reed shaft which is corotationally connected to one end ofa coaxial torsion bar, the other end of said torsion bar is adapted to be rotated by a hydraulic actuator or the like by means of a one-way coupling, and a ratchet wheel is mounted on the reed shaft and is releasably engaged by a locking pawl to hold the reed shaft in position during the rotation of the other end of the torsion bar.
  • the reed shaft is held in position by the ratchet wheel and the ratchet pawl, the torsion bar is twisted and wound up, as it were, by means of the hydraulic actuator.
  • the torsion bar in the system according to the invention exerts on the reed shaft a torque which does not ensure a predetermined end position of the reed shaft because the reed roller is braked by the fell of the cloth. This results in the strong impact of the filling thread.
  • the locking pawl reengages the ratchet wheel and the cycle can be repeated.
  • the direct transmission of force and the coaxial arrangement of the torsion bar result in a relatively simple and compact, space-saving structure. Because the torsion bar can be wound up at any desired time between two reed movements, this winding can be performed when the machine does not require energy for other purposes so that the distribution ofthe energy requirement of the entire weaving machine can be improved so as to avoid shock loads. This will be the case particularly if, eg, the heddles are also hydraulically actuated because a smaller pressure accumulator for the hydraulic pressure fluid will be sufficient.
  • the angle of twist of the torsion bar may be changed. This may be accomplished, cg, by a change of the hydraulic pressure in the cylinder of the hydraulic actuator. In that the torsion bar will be twisted through such an angle that an equilibrium is obtained between the moment of resistance of the torsion and the piston force.
  • the impact force of the filling thread can be adjusted in a particularly simple manner in accordance with the invention if the abutment for supporting the hydraulic actuator or the like on the machine frame is adjustable approximately in the direction of the axis of the cylinder.
  • the angle of twist of the torsion bar as it is wound up is not changed but the torsion bar is always wound up to the same extent as a result of a constant hydraulic pressure.
  • the effective stroke of the hydraulic actuator will be changed so that, upon a disengagement of the locking pawl from the ratchet wheel, the actuator can act on the torsion bar in the sense in which the latter rotates so that the force for driving the reed shaft is increased.
  • the stroke through which the piston can move when the ratchet wheel has been released can be adjusted by a screw and will determine the impact force of the filling thread. Because the screw can be actuated at any time, even when the weaving machine is in operation, the appearance of the woven fabric can be changed in a desirable manner even during the operation of the weaving machine.
  • the invention teaches to provide a reverse locking pawl which prevents a rotation of the ratchet wheel opposite to the sense in which a rotation is prevented by the locking pawl.
  • Particularly desirable means for disengaging the locking pawl from the ratchet wheel against the force of a h0lding-d0wn spring comprise 21 preferably hydraulically displaceable cam bar and at least one tappet which rests on the cam bar.
  • the ratchet wheel consists of two parts which have interengaging serrations between which a rubber part is disposed so that the ratchet wheel absorbs shock like a metal-clad rubber block.
  • the locking pawl has in a known manner a shock-absorbing insert which protrudes over the engaging surface of the pawl.
  • German Pat. No. 288,043 a locking pawl bears on a pivot pin by means of a rubber member but the metal pawl strikes on the metal ratchet wheel so that pawl fractures cannot be avoided.
  • the ratchet wheel, the locking pawl and the reverse locking pawl are accommodated in the bearing housing for the reed shaft.
  • This arrangement results in a further reduction of the overall length and in an improved protection from dust and damping of noise.
  • the relatively highly loaded ratchet wheel is then disposed close to the shaft bearings so that the shaft is relieved.
  • the one-way coupling is rotatably mounted on the end portion of the reed shaft and in a manner known per se is coupled by a tube to that end of the torsion bar which is remote from the reed shaft.
  • FIG. 1 is an axial sectional view taken through the reed shaft and showing a drive system according to the invention for intermittently rotating a reed roller,
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken on line II-II of FIG. 1 through the one-way coupling
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on line IIIIII of FIG. 1 through the ratchet wheel, which is corotationally connected to the reed shaft, and
  • FIG. 4 is a view taken on line IVI ⁇ in FIG. 3 and showing the means for driving the locking pawl cooperating with the ratchet wheel.
  • An intermittently unidirectionally rotating reed roller l comprises a multiplicity olthin reed discs 2 which are aligned on a common reed shaft 3 and provided with dogs which engage the filling thread that has been inserted into the shed and beat up the thread against the fell of the cloth.
  • the means for intermittently unidirectionally driving the reed shaft 3 comprise a ratchet wheel 4 which is corotationally connected to the reed shaft and is locked against rotation in a direction opposite to that of rotation by a locking pawl 5.
  • a torsion bar 6 is coaxial with the reed shaft 3 and has one end corotationally connected thereto while its other end is freely rotatably mounted by a stub shaft 7. That end of the torsion bar 6 which is mounted in the stub shaft 7 is corotationally connected to a tube 8 which by a rigid coupling 9 is corotationally connected to a ratchet wheel 10 of a oneway coupling which consists of the ratchet wheel 10 and a pawl 11.
  • the pawl 11 is spring-urged against the ratchet wheel 10 and pivoted to a radial arm 12 which is freely rotatable about the reed shaft 3 and to which a piston rod 13 of a hydraulic actuator 14 is pivotally connected.
  • the hydraulic actuator is mounted in an abutment 16 for rotation about a pivot 15, and the abutment 16 is adjustable by means ofa screw 17 along a guide 18 which is associated with the machine frame and which extends approximately parallel to the axis of the hydraulic actuator 14. It will be understood that the hydraulic actuator could be replaced by other suitable drive means, such as pneumatic actuators or the like.
  • the torsion bar 6 will be wound up by the tube 8 because the torsion bar is freely rotatably mounted at one end by means of the stub shaft 7 and at its other end is corotationally connected to the reed shaft 3 which is locked by the ratchet wheel 4 and the locking pawl 5.
  • the locking pawl 5 can be disengaged.
  • the torsion bar 6 is now held at its end opposite to the reed shaft 3 by the actuator 14 and the one-way coupling 10, 11 and can untwist to rotate the reed As is shown in FIGS.
  • the locking pawl 5 is disengaged by two tappets 20 which are operated by a cam bar 19 and which, in response to a suitable displacement of the cam bar 19, lift the locking pawl 5 against the force of a spring 21, the initial stress of which is adjustable by means of an adjusting screw 22.
  • the cam bar 19 is designed so that the locking pawl 5, when lifted by the tappets 20, can return to its locking position under the action of the spring 21 so as to lock the ratchet wheel 4 exactly in the position determined by the ratchet teeth 23.
  • a reverse locking pawl 24 is provided, which prevents a reverse rotation of the ratchet wheel 4 and consists of a leaf spring which snaps in behind a stop face of the ratchet teeth.
  • the ratchet wheel 4 comprises two parts 26 and 27, which have interengaging serrations, between which a member 25 having rubberlike elasticity is disposed.
  • the locking pawl 5 has a shock-absorbing insert 28, which protrudes f m tbss a itt sw w
  • the cam bar 19 is supported on two bearing rollers 29 and is driven by a hydraulic actuator 30 which is actuated in synchronism with the angular movements of the reed shaft.
  • the angle of twist ofthe torsion bar 6 can be changed to vary the impact force of the filling thread.
  • the hydraulic pressure in the actuator 14 may be varied. If the pressure of the hydraulic pressure fluid is increased, the torsion bar 6 will be more highly stressed so that the reed shaft 3 will be rotated by a stronger force when the locking pawl 5 has been disengaged.
  • the impact force of the filling thread may be changed even when the hydraulic pressure fluid is always admitted under the same pressure.
  • the abutment 16 for the actuator 14 is displaceable in the direction of the cylinder axis by the screw 17.
  • the torsion bar is always twisted to the same extent so that the same stroke of the piston is required to wind up the torsion bar.
  • a gap remains between the abutment and the piston when the torsion bar has been wound up and, when the torsion bar unwinds, the hydraulic pressure in the cylinder acts on the piston to move the same through said gap so that an additional driving force is exerted on the reed shaft 3.
  • the extent of this gap which exists at the time when the system for driving the reed shaft is released can be adjusted by means of the screw 17 so that the additional force exerted by the piston on the reed shaft and with it the impact force can be adjusted. This adjustment of the impact force exerted by the filling thread can be performed even during the operation of the machine and enables a desirable control of the appearance of the woven fabric even during the operation of the machine.
