Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to an actuator assembly for a picker head in shuttleless looms for making wire cloth, particularly wire cloth for use in the manufacture of strainers, window screens, etc.
- As is known, in wire cloth looms, a picker head, provided with a wire engaging latch and being reciprocated in timed relationship with the loom sley, is arranged to pass the weft wire through the shed formed by warp wires laid on mutually parallel planes, thereby weaving the wire cloth.
- To that end, the picker head is passed, over an initial portion of its stroke distance, through the shed up to one side thereof, whereat it will pick up the weft wire by means of its openable end-bill; thereafter, the picker head is returned rapidly through the shed to take the weft wire in between the warp wires and thus weave, at each back and forth stroke, a portion of the cloth.
- In such loom types, the picker head movement is implemented by means of complex camming mechanisms which receive their motion from the loom main drive via additional driving and timing members.
- This contributes, of course, to the complexity of the loom as a whole, while with such prior looms, the wire insertion is not entirely satisfactory on account of frequent breakages caused in the wire by the vibration and irregular motion of the picker head.
- In a prior Italian Patent Application, No. 27712 A/79, filed on November 29, 1979, and opened to public inspection on May 29, 1981, this Applicant already disclosed a picker element and related drive which have been effective to greatly reduce the occurrence of breakages in the weft wire, so as to result, with fairly high efficiency, in the production of a wire cloth having satisfactory characteristics.
- However, actual tests conducted, on production looms so constructed, and further extensive studies. by the Applicant, have shown that the mechanism proposed in the cited Italian Patent Application No. 27712 A/79, while being generally satisfactory, was not entirely faultless, among its deficiencies being that it could not provide a very high rate of operation for the cited picker element.
- A further disadvantage shown by said mechanism was that adjustment for operative transition from one cloth type to a different, especially heavier grade, one involved a significant degree of complexity.
- Thus the task of this invention is to provide an improved actuator assembly and/or mechanism for a picker head in shuttleless looms for making wire cloth, which can move the picker head at a very high speed and in perfectly timed relationship with the motion of the loom sley at each operative phase of the picker head.
- Within that task it is an object of the invention to provide an assembly as indicated, which can actuate the picker head during the return or weft wire drawing stroke thereof such that the weft wire is held under constantly applied tension, thus preventing it from becoming entangled and producing a cloth having optimum characteristics.
- It is another object of this invention to provide an assembly as indicated, which can be readily adjusted for adaptation in an optimum fashion to the production of the various types of wire cloth presently on demand by the market.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide an assembly as indicated, which is construction- wise simple and reliable, and in particular which may be easily fitted on existing
loom 5 without involving substantial alteration of the latter. - It is a further object of this invention to provide an actuator assembly as indicated, which is compatible, in particular, with currently available commercial picker actuating carriage assemblies.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide an assembly as indicated, which can be easily manufactured from materials and on equipment commonly available on the market.
- According to one aspect of this invention, the above task and objects are achieved by the invention defined in
claim 1, the actuator assembly for a picker head in shuttleless looms for making wire cloth, is characterized in that it comprises a first gear made rotatively rigid with the crankshaft of said loom, a second gear supported rotatably on a gear holder element of plate-like, substantially rectangular configuration and in mesh engagement with said first gear, a washer element rotatably carried on said gear holder element at the opposite side thereof to the side oarrying said second gear, a first connecting rod element rigidly engaged at one end thereof with said plate-like supporting element and extending on a substantially vertical plane, a set of rods interconnected to define a substantially triangular arrangement and lying on a substantially vertical plane with two sides projecting by preset distances beyond the base of said triangle, the upper vertex of said triangle being pivoted to the other end of said first connecting rod element, the lower end of one of said projecting sides from said triangle being pivoted to an adjustment carriage, and the lower end of the other of said projecting sides from said triangle being pivoted to one end of a second twin connecting rod element having the other end connected to an actuator carriage element for actuating said picker head, said preceding elements being interconnected and constructed such that, on rotating said crankshaft, said second gear performs, along with said plate-like element, a substantially epicycloidal movement around said first gear, and said second twin connecting rod element linearly reciprocates said actuator carriage for said picker head, said reciprocating motion being timed to the sley motion in said loom and including a forward stroke of said picker head to pick up the weft wire and a return stroke of said picker head to release the weft wire, on completion of said return stroke and prior to the successive forward stroke a standstill phase being provided for said picker head for an adjustable preset time period. - Further features and advantages of the actuator assembly for a picker head in shuttleless looms for making wire cloth, according to this invention, will be more readily understood from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, with reference to the accompanying illustrative drawings, where:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the inventive actuator assembly, as associated with one abutment shoulder of a shutteless loom for making wire cloth;
- Figure 2 is an exploded view showing the main components, of the actuator assembly of this invention;
- Figures 3 to 5 are diagrams showing how the actuator assembly of this invention operates;
- Figure 6 is an enlarged scale detail view showing the adjusting carriage element associated with the actuator assembly according to this invention; and
- Figure 7.is a fragmentary perspective view showing the gear case in a closed condition and the main connecting rod element deriving motion therefrom for the actuator assembly of this invention.
- Making now specific reference to the drawing views, and in particular to Figures 1 and 2, the actuator assembly for a picker head according to this invention will be next described in detail, although a detailed discussion of the loom incorporating it is omitted herein inasmuch as reference can be had for its description to the aforementioned prior Italian patent application by this same Applicant.
- More specifically, the actuator assembly for a picker head, according to the invention, is generally designated with the
reference numeral 1. - Said assembly, as shown best in Figure 2, comprises a gear case SC affixed to an abutment shoulder SP (Figure 1) on the loom, which gear case has a substantially cylindrical shape and contains a first spur gear 2 (Figure 2) keyed to one end of the loom crankshaft (not shown) and made rotatively rigid therewith, and a
second spur gear 3 arranged to mesh with thefirst spur gear 2. The first andsecond gears gear 3 rigidly at its upper end, and thegear 2 rotatably at its lower end. To that aim, formed in the plate-like carrier 4, respectively at the upper and lower ends thereof, are two throughgoing round holes, indicated at 5 and 6, respectively, which are arranged to accommodate conventional means of securing thespur gears - It may suffice to say that the crankshaft (not shown) and cited
gears gear 3 is in mesh engagement with thegear 2, thereby, on rotating the loom crankshaft, the plate-like element 4 andgear 3 are rotated, thegear 3 describing an epicycloid around thegear 2 with which it meshes. - On the opposite side of the plate-like element 4 with respect to that side which carries the
gear 3, a washer element, generally indicated at 7, is supported rigidly which, in one embodiment, may comprise anouter bearing race 8 and acenter disk element 9, between thedisk element 9 and bearingrace 8 there being arranged, in a manner known per se, plural bearingballs 10. Thecenter disk element 9 has a slot orthroughgoing aperture 11 formed therein which is sized and configured to receive one end of a first connectingrod element 13, as explained more ietailedly hereinafter. - It may be seen that between the
washer element 7 and plate-like gear carrier element 4 there intervenes a cover C, provided to close the gear case as shown more clearly in Figure 7. - In particular, the cover C is made pivotally rigid with the
washer 7 and gear carrier plate 4, so that in operation said cover C will also turn. Again with reference to Figure 2, theelongate slot 11, which may have an enlarged end to facilitate coupling to the connectingrod 13, is arranged to accommodate, fixedly but adjustably, one end of said first connectingrod element 13, the other end of which is engaged articulatedly with a set of rods, generally designated with thereference numeral 16, formed essentially by six rods which are interconnected to define a substantially triangular arrangement lying on an essentially vertical plane, with the actuator assembly in a fully assembled condition. More specifically, the rod set 16 comprise tworods additional rods rods rods common end 19 of therod pair base rods end 19, the common end of therods - On the other hand, the
rods base rods - In particular, the two
base rods parallel rods - For said adjustable coupling, there is provided a throughgoing peg element, or threaded bolt, 26 which couples the two
rods slots peg 26, which comprises as mentioned a releasable bolt, will enable, as is apparent, adjustment of the positions of therods slots - Thus, the actuator assembly of,this invention provides at least two adjustment points already, namely the aforementioned coupling of the first connecting
rod 13 within theslot 11 and the coupling just described of the tworods slots rods - The triangular rod arrangement described hereinabove is articulated at one side, respectively at the lower ends of the
rods - In particular, the lower ends of the
rods pin 32, with apivot connection 33, whichpivot connection 33 is made rigid with a plate-like element 34 of substantially C-like configuration, which plate-like element 34 is adapted for sliding movement in alongitudinal slot 35 formed in thelower body 36 of the carriage. For producing said sliding movement of theplate 34, and hence of thepivot connection 33 attached thereto, a handwheel element, indicated at 37, is provided, thehandwheel 37 being coupled to thesliding plate 34 through any suitable means, such as a worm and gear means, not shown. - It may be appreciated that the adjusting
carriage assembly 30 is substantially rigid with the abutment SP of the loom, a plate-like element 40 being also made rigid, via asupport 41 , with the abutment of the loom, theelement 40 being provided to function as a stop for the sliding motion of theplate 34 associated with the adjustingcarriage assembly 30. - Again in connection with the cited adjusting
assembly 30, it should be noted that it is quite easy to adjust the positions of the tworods pin 26 joining the tworods bolts 41 and 42 which locate the sliding positions of thesliding plate 34 in thelongitudinal slots 35 of thecarriage body 36. This easily carried out adjustment, required to suit the motion supplied by the inventive assembly to the type of cloth being weaved, constitutes a peculiar aspect of the invention not to be found with the complex camming devices of the prior art, which were on the contrary quite difficult to adjust, the adjustment thus achieved being less fine than that to be obtained with the carriage assembly of the inventive actuator assembly. - At the
end portion 19 of the tworods pin 50, to a twinconnecting rod element 51 which has its opposite end connected, through anadditional pin element 52, for example to a pickerhead actuating carriage 54. Thecarriage 54 is a part of an actuatingassembly 55, which is available commercially and requires no further detailed discussion herein. - It is considered that the foregoing description is adequate for understanding the operation of the actuator assembly according to the invention.
- Making reference to Figures 3 to 5, which illustrate different operative steps in the actuation of the picker head, the operation of the actuator assembly according to the invention will be next described. The main motion is in particular derived from the loom main shaft as driven by the motor M (Figure 1), through a
drive belt 56 and flywheel-pulley 57. Assuming that the flywheel-pulley 57 turns in a clockwise direction, as indicated by the arrow A in Figure 1, the rotary motion is transmitted from the main shaft to the crankshaft mentioned hereinabove, which in turn drives the gear system of the actuator mechanism according to the invention, thereby the rotation of theoutward gear 3 and elements connected thereto, in particular the plate 4, cover C, andwasher 7, will occur in a counterclockwise direction, as shown by the arrow B. Consequently to the rotation of the crankshaft, thegear 3 will describe an epicycloidal path around thegear 2, wherein thewasher 7 turns together with the cover C. The rotary motion imparted to thewasher 7 will cause the first connectingrod element 13 to drive in a push-pull mode the triangular rod arrangement which, being pivoted at 33, reciprocates the picker head actuating carriage. In particular, Figure 3 shows the main connectingrod 13 in the fully backward position, which in accordance with the invention is a picker rest position. Of course, the dimensions of the connectingrod 3 and rod mechanism as a whole should be selected to determine a desired rest interval for the picker head after drawing the weft wire through the shed. In Figure 4, the connectingrod 13, under the drive from thegears washer 7, begins its outward travel, which corresponds to a working stroke during which the picker head (not shown) starts through the shed in its movement across it for picking up the weft wire from the left-hand extremity of the shed. - In particular, the weft wire is engaged with the connecting rod in its fully extended position and the
carriage 54 at the bottom travel limit of its back-and -forth stroke distance. Said fully extended position of the connectingrod 13 is shown schematically in Figure 5. Thus, in the condition corresponding substantially to that shown in Figure 5, the picker head is engaged with the weft wire. AN the crankshaft is rotated further, the connectingrod element 13 starts its backward movement, thereby the picker head will be caused to move backward through the shed with the wire (not shown) engaged therewith, dimensions being selected such that the picker head is at a standstill over an angle of substantially 120-1300. This standstill phase of the picker head constitutes an advantageous aspect of the invention, because during that phase, the weft wire may be cut in ideal conditions to yield an optimum cloth in a nearly finished condition. - It should be noted in this respect that the cited standstill interval of the picker head does not jeopardize, as actual tests have shown, the cloth production rate, which is higher than the rates currently achieved with conventional looms of the same general type.
- It should be further pointed out that the inventive actuator assembly enables, by virtue-of its peculiar construction, the picker head to hold the weft wire at all times under tension, which is effective to prevent the wire from becoming entangled and further improve the quality of the resulting wire cloth.
- Also to be enhanced is the cited dual adjustment ability of the inventive actuator assembly, which adjustment is easy to make as well as being extremely accurate. Thus, ease of adjustment brings about a corresponding ready adaptability of the whole machine to produce a desired cloth type, especially as regards the cloth grade.
- It may be appreciated from the foregoing that the invention fully achieves its objects.
- While but one, presently preferred embodiment of the invention has been described by way of example, the skilled one in the art will readily recognize that many modifications and variations may be introduced therein without departing from the true scope of the inventive idea. As an example, the specific dimensions of the main component parts of the actuator assembly according to the invention may be selected contingent on individual application requirements.
