Abstract

Each heddle drive is controlled based on the signals generated corresponding to rotation of a main loom drive shaft so that the warp shed is stopped in the weft entrance section (AO) and in the weft exit section (A2) simultaneously. The stoppage of the warp shed in the center of the weft advance section is prevented during maximum opening position of warp shed.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur drehwinkelabhängigen Ansteuerung von Betätigungseinrichtungen einer mit einer Webmaschine kombinierten Jacquardvorrichtung ohne Messer und Messerantriebe als Fachbildevorrichtung nach den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a method for rotational angle-dependent control of actuators combined with a weaving jacquard device without knives and knife drives as a shedding device according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Webmaschinen mit mechanischem Schussfadeneintrag zur Herstellung eines Gewebes mit vorbestimmter Musterung werden in Kombination mit einer Jacquardvorrichtung als Fachbildevorrichtung betrieben.
Jacquardvorrichtungen moderner Bauart besitzen eine Vielzahl elektrisch ansteuerbarer Betätigungseinrichtungen, z.B. elektromotorisch betriebene Betätigungseinrichtungen, wobei die Jacquardmaschine keine Messer und Messerantriebe besitzt.
Jeder Kettfaden der Webkette einer Webmaschine ist dabei über Verbindungsmittel, d.h. über eine sogenannte Harnischschnur mit Harnischlitze und über Rückzugsmittel von einer der Betätigungseinrichtungen so geführt, dass die betreffenden Kettfäden zur Ausbildung eines Webfaches gleichzeitig aus einer ersten Position in eine zweite Position und umgekehrt vertikal bewegt werden.
Weft insertion mechanical weaving machines for producing a fabric having a predetermined pattern are operated in combination with a jacquard device as a shed forming device.
Jacquard devices modern design have a variety of electrically controllable controls, such as electric motor operated controls, the jacquard machine has no knives and knife drives.
Each warp thread of the loom of a weaving machine is connected via connecting means, ie via a so-called Harnischschnur with Harnischlitze and retreat of one of the controls so guided that the respective warp threads are moved to form a shed simultaneously from a first position to a second position and vice versa vertically ,

Zur gesteuerten Bewegung der Kettfäden ist eine elektronische Steuervorrichtung vorgesehen, die jede Betätigungseinrichtung nach einem vorgewählten Programm signalübertragend steuert.For controlled movement of the warp threads, an electronic control device is provided which controls each actuator signal transmitting to a preselected program.

Eine Webmaschine mit einer solchen Jacquardvorrichtung ist zum Beispiel aus der EP 0 353 005 B1 bekannt.A weaving machine with such a jacquard device is known, for example, from EP 0 353 005 B1.

Der Gegenstand der vorbekannten EP 0 353 005 B1 unterscheidet nicht, ob die Jacquardvorrichtung mit einer Webmaschine mit fluidischen Schussfadeneintragsmitteln oder mit mechanischen Schussfadeneintragsmitteln betrieben wird.
Weil ein solcher Unterschied nicht vorgenommen ist, geht der Fachmann davon aus, dass auch der Ausbildung des Webfaches auf den vorgenannten Webmaschinen, bei z.B. identisch zu webenden Artikel, ein identisches Fachbewegungsprofil, im Hinblick auf die Webbreite, zugrunde liegt. Hier setzt die Erfindung an.
The subject of the prior art EP 0 353 005 B1 does not distinguish whether the jacquard device is operated with a loom with fluid weft insertion means or with mechanical weft insertion means.
Because such a difference is not made, the skilled person assumes that the training of the shed on the aforementioned looms, for example, identical to be woven article, an identical professional movement profile, in terms of weaving, based. This is where the invention starts.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren zur drehwinkelabhängigen Ansteuerung der Betätigungseinrichtungen einer mit einer Webmaschine mit mechanischen Schussfadeneintragsorganen kombinierten Jacquardvorrichtung zu schaffen, welches bei Erhöhung der Lebensdauer der betreffenden Betätigungseinrichtungen, der Verbindungsmittel und der Kettfaden-Rückzugsmittel die Kettbruchhäufigkeit reduziert und infolge dessen die Verfügbarkeit der Webmaschine verbessert.It is an object of the invention to provide a method for the rotation angle-dependent control of the actuators of a combined with a loom with mechanical weft insertion jacquard device, which increases the life of the respective actuators, the connecting means and the warp retraction means the warp frequency and as a result reduces the availability of Weaving machine improved.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Danach werden die Betätigungseinrichtungen derart signalübertragend von der elektronischen Steuereinrichtung in Abhängigkeit vom Drehwinkel der Webmaschinen-Hauptwelle angesteuert, dass in einem schussfadeneintragseitigen Abschnitt A0 des auszubildenden Webfaches und in einem schussfadenauszugseitigen Abschnitt A2 des auszubildenden Webfaches ein Webfach-Bewegungsprofil mit Fachstillstand bei maximaler Webfachöffnung gleichzeitig entsteht und dass zwischen den Abschnitten A0 und A2 ein Bewegungsprofil ohne Fachstillstand gebildet wird, dessen maximale Webfachöffnung in einem zwischen den Abschnitten A0 und A2 liegenden Abschnitt A1 entsteht.
Zur Ausbildung des Webfach-Bewegungsprofils ohne Fachstillstand werden dabei die Betätigungseinrichtungen derart angesteuert, dass ein sinusförmiges Bewegungsprofil entsteht.
Damit ist der Vorteil verbunden, dass die betreffenden Betätigungseinrichtungen, im Vergleich zur Webfachbildung nach dem Stand der Technik, relativ schonend auf die betreffenden Kettfäden einwirken, wodurch Kettfadenbrüche weitestgehend vermieden werden und infolge dessen Unterbrechungen des Webprozesses reduziert werden. Außerdem unterliegen die betreffenden Betätigungsmittel und die Rückzugsmittel einem geringeren Verschleiß und werden nicht zum Überschwingen angeregt.
Thereafter, the actuators are signal-transmitting controlled by the electronic control device as a function of the rotation angle of the loom main shaft that in a weft insertion side A0 of the trainee shed and in a weft thread extraction side section A2 of the trainee shed a weaving motion profile with shutdown at maximum Webfachöffnung simultaneously arises and a motion profile is formed between the sections A0 and A2 without a standstill, the maximum shed opening of which arises in a section A1 lying between the sections A0 and A2.
To form the shed motion profile without a shutdown while the actuators are controlled such that a sinusoidal motion profile is formed.
This has the advantage that the relevant actuators, compared to the shed forming according to the prior art, act relatively gently on the respective warp threads, whereby warp thread breaks are largely avoided and as a result, interruptions of the weaving process can be reduced. In addition, the respective actuating means and the retraction means are subject to less wear and are not excited to overshoot.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment.

Gemäß der Figur 3 wird für die Bereiche A0/A2 ein Bewegungsprofil der Kettfäden mit Fachstilland gefahren und nach Figur 4 für den Bereich A1 ein kontinuierliches Kettbewegungsprofil ohne Fachstillstand gefahren.Figure 1 shows schematically the allocation of a jacquard device, which is equipped with an input device and control device, with the connection via harness cords and a chorus to the warp threads of a weaving machine, according to Figure 2 from an entry side, starting with the area A0, on the loom width extend to the extract side with the area A2.
