Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a weft yarn storing, feeding and measuring device, preferably for jet weaving machines, in accordance with the generic clause of claim 1.
  • DE-OS 31 23 760 discloses a yarn storing, feeding and measu ⁇ ring device for jet weaving machines having a stationary sto ⁇ rage drum onto which an intermediate yarn store is wound by a windi ⁇ g-on device and from which the yarn is withdrawn spiral ⁇ ling around the withdrawal end of the storage drum, yarn sen ⁇ sing means being arranged such that the yarn is passing its de ⁇ tection area during withdrawal from the drum, said yarn sensing means producing pulse signals, each pulse signal indicating that the yarn passes a detection area of the yarn sensing means, a plurality of yarn stopping devices being arranged at angular in ⁇ tervals around the storage drum, said yarn stopping devices con ⁇ sisting of yarn stopping elements and actuator means moving said stopping elements into and.out of the path of the yarn being withdrawn, and an actuator control device adjustable to desired weft yarn lengths to be withdrawn, said control device being re ⁇ sponsive to said pulse signals in such a way that an actuating signal is transmitted to a yarn stopping device the ang
  • the yarn sensing means consists of a plurality of yarn sensors, each of these sensors being associated with a yarn stopping device. Hen ⁇ ce, the number of yarn sensors required for such a device cor ⁇ responds to the number of yarn stopping devices.
  • Yarn storing, feeding and measuring devices of this kind not only serve to intermediately store the weft yarn on a storage drum, but also serve to supply the jet weaving machine with a weft yarn length of a desired value. For the latter purpose, this known device
  • the yarn stopping device After releasing or de-actuating the yarn stopping device actua ⁇ ted at the end of a previous yarn withdrawal cycle, the yarn is withdrawn spiralling around the withdrawal end of the storage drum. Thereby, the yarn subsequently passes the detection area of each of the several yarn sensors being arranged at the with ⁇ drawal end of the storage drum in a spaced, angular relationship with respect to each other. Each yarn sensor generates a pulse signal indicating that the yarn passes its detection area, these pulse signals being fed to the control device. Hence, the control device receives a number of pulse signals, this number correspon ⁇ ding to the number of yarn sensors being passed by the yarn du ⁇ ring the withdrawal from the storage drum.
  • the control device By counting these pul ⁇ se signals received from the yarn sensors, the control device generates a count value corresponding to the actual position of the withdrawal point of the yarn with respect to the yarn sensors.
  • the count value corresponds to the length of yarn having been withdrawn from the storage drum.
  • the control device actuates the stopping device being located with respect to the angular movement of the withdrawal point of the yarn behind the yarn sensor which generated the last pulse signal. Thereby, the withdrawal of the yarn is stopped so that the desired yarn length is obtained.
  • This known yarn storing, feeding and measuring device is costly and complicated due to the great number of yarn sensors required to achieve a sufficiently great number of different yarn lengths, or in other words to achieve a sufficiently great accu ⁇ racy in the desired weft yarn length.
  • a further drawback is cau ⁇ sed by the fact that yarn sensors are also sensitive in operation, since they usually comprise optical elements which can be cove ⁇ red by lintor be disturbed by irrelevant light rays. If one of the several yarn sensors is e.g. covered by lint, it will no longer generate pulse signals when the yarn passes its detection area resulting in a wrong count value in the control device. Hen ⁇ ce, the respective yarn length of the inserted weft yarn will be- come greater than the desired yarn length.
  • DE-OS 31 23 760 also discloses a yarn storing, feeding and measuring device using only one yarn sensor for detecting the withdrawal of one complete yarn winding from the storage drum.
  • this prior art device makes use of a storage drum, the diameter of which can be mechanically varied.
  • the same concept is disclosed in FR-A 2 166 332 and PCT-A WO 82/ 04446.
  • a mechanical adjustment of the diameter of the storage drum calls for complicated mechanical means, which makes the device costly and liable to malfunctions.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a yarn sto ⁇ ring, feeding and measuring device, which does not have said me ⁇ chanical diameter adjustment means andis more reliable than the prior art devices as described above.
  • said control device comprises storing means for storing an information regarding the yarn stopping device actuated at the end of the next preceding yarn withdrawal cycle and calculating means for determining a selected series sequence of.said yarn stopping devices to be alternately actuated and de-actuated consecutively during the yarn withdrawal cycle on the basis of said stored information and of an adjustable input information for the calculating means representing at least one significant parameter for the distance/time function of the weft yarn insertion process cycle, said calculating means also determining the yarn stopping device to be kept actuated at the end of the yarn withdrawal cycle as last one in said selected series sequence of actuated and de-actuated yarn stopping devices, on the basis of said stored information and of an input information representing the desired weft yarn length.
  • said significant parameter for the distance/time function of the weft yarn insertion process cycle is the desirable speed value for the weft yarn during said cycle.
  • the calculating means of the control device with adjustable input information representing the desirable value of the deceleration of the weft yarn du ⁇ ring the last phase of the weft insertion cycle, so as to achieve an optimally "soft" deceleration of the weft yarn.
  • the calcula ⁇ ting means with adjustable input information representing the desirable value of the acceleration of the weft yarn du ⁇ ring the initial phase of the weft insertion cycle.

  • a yarn storing, feeding and measu ⁇ ring device 1 consists of a storage drum 2, a winding-on devi ⁇ ce in the form of an orbiting feeder tube 3 and an electric motor 4 for driving this orbiting feeder tube.
  • a weft yarn WY being supplied from a..yarn spool (now shown here) to the orbi ⁇ ting feeder tube 3 driven by the motor 4 is wound onto the sto ⁇ rage drum 2 and forms there an intermediate yarn store of se ⁇ veral yarn windings.
  • the storage drum 2 is here a stationary part being kept in stationary position with respect to the surroundings by magnetic means (not shown here).
  • the feeding device 1 is provided with a yarn store sensor 5, sensing the amount of yarn stored on the drum 2, which sensor is located close to the generally cylindrical surface of the storage drum 2.
  • This store sensor 5 can be a so called maximum sensor preferably consisting of a light emitting device and a light receiving device.
  • the yarn store sensor 5 generates a signal indicating the amount of yarn stored on the drum, i.e. in principle the number of windings of yarn stored on the drum. Based on this signal, a store control unit 7 controls the operation of the electric motor 4 in such a way that there is continuously a sufficient amount of yarn available on the yarn storage drum 2.
  • Yarn store control units are per se well-known to the man skilled in the art. This art can be exemplified by DE-OS 29 08 743, FR-A 1 562 223 and PCT/EP 83/ 00121 (Applicant's own).
  • a yarn stopping device 10 located at the withdrawal end of the storage drum 2 consists of an actuator means 11 comprising a plurality of electromagnetic coils 11 being wound around a coil core 12 supported of a balloon limiting ring 13 consisting
  • Said balloon limiting ring 13 is fixedly se ⁇ cured to the stationary part of the storing device 1, for example to a base plate thereof.
  • a ring-shaped guiding por ⁇ tion 16 is connected to the withdrawal end of the storage drum 2.
  • Said guiding portion 16 supports a plurality of yarn stopping elements 14, each of said yarn stopping elements 14 consisting of a metal ball 14 being movably disposed in a ra ⁇ dial bore 15 provided in the guiding portion 16.
  • the respective electromagnetic coils 11 and associated cores 12 are arranged opposite to said bores 15.
  • the balloon limiting ring 13 and the guiding portion 16 define a gap 18 being preferably in the order of 1 - 2 millimeters.
  • the weft yarn WY passes said gap when be ⁇ ing withdrawn from the storage drum 2.
  • a permanent magnet 17 is located at one end of each bore 15 for moving back said metal ball 14 into said bore 15 after switching off an ac ⁇ tuation current fed to the respective electromagnetic coils 11.
  • the metal ball 14 is attrac ⁇ ted by the magnetic force of the coil 11 when switching on the actuation current fed to the coil 11.
  • the width of the gap 18 corresponds to the radius of the metal ball 14.
  • the permanent magnet 17 When the coil 11 is not actuated, the permanent magnet 17 will attract the metal ball 14, so that the ball will be comple ⁇ tely positioned inside the bore 15, whereby the yarn WY can be freely withdrawn in the axial direction from the storage drum 2 and inserted into the shed of the weaving machine.
  • each electromagnetic coil 11 is chosen such that this force will overcome the attraction force of the permanent magnet 17 when feeding the actuation current to the coil 11.
  • the metal ball 14 will thereby move outward ⁇ ly in the radial direction of the bore 15 and come into con ⁇ tact with the free end of the coil core 12. In this state, approximately half the metal ball locks the gap 18 for the passage of the yarn WY in such a way that the withdrawal of the yarn from the storage drum 2 is prevented .
  • the yarn stopping device 10 When swit ⁇ ching off the actuation current fed to the coil 11, the ten ⁇ sion in the yarn WY, being pulled by the weft insertion means of the weaving machine, co-acts with the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 17 such that the metal ball 14 will re ⁇ turn to its starting position so as to come into contact with the permanent magnet 17.
  • the tension of the yarn co-acts with the magnetic force of the magnet 17 due to the shape of the metal ball 14, the holding force of the permanent magnet 17 can be relatively small. Hence, only a small portion of the attracting force generated by the electromagnetic coil 11 is required for overcoming the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 17. For this reason, the yarn stopping device 10 is working faster than prior art devices using stopping elements 14 which are needle-shaped or pin-shaped.
  • a thin pla ⁇ te of non-magnetic material can be positioned at the outer end of the permanent magnet 17 and/or on the free end of the coil core 12 for eliminating a magnetic sticking or "adhesion" ef ⁇ fect between the metal ball 14 and the permanent magnet 17
