Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft eine schnurlose Fadensteuervorrichtung gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a cordless thread control device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Eine schnurlose Fadensteuervorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art ist beispielsweise aus der GB 1 219 012 A bekannt. Ein als Stahlplatine ausgebildeter Mitnehmer für den Faden weist an seinem einer Arretiervorrichtung zugewandten Endteil einen Haken auf, mit dem die Stahlplatine mit der Arretiervorrichtung wahlweise verrastbar ist. Der Haken ist bogenförmig ausgestaltet, um dem Endteil des Mitnehmers elastische Eigenschaften zu verleihen, die ein Dämpfen des Verrastens des Hakens mit der Arretiervorrichtung bewirken soll. Durch die bogenförmige und federnde Ausbildung des Hakens wird dieser in Längsrichtung der Stahlplatine unstabil, wodurch ein sicheres Verrasten des Mitnehmers mit der Arretiervorrichtung nicht gewährleistet ist. Dies kann zu einer ungenauen Arbeitsweise der Fadensteuervorrichtung, zur einer Verringerung der Drehzahlen und schliesslich zu Webfehlern in der hergestellten Warenbahn führen.A cordless thread control device of the type mentioned is known for example from GB 1 219 012 A. A designed as a steel plate driver for the thread has at its end facing a locking device on a hook, with which the steel plate with the locking device is optionally latched. The hook is arcuately shaped to impart elastic properties to the end portion of the follower to effect dampening of latching of the hook with the locking device. Due to the arcuate and resilient design of the hook this is unstable in the longitudinal direction of the steel plate, whereby a secure locking of the driver is not guaranteed with the locking device. This can lead to an inaccurate operation of the thread control device, to a reduction in rotational speeds and finally to weaving defects in the fabric produced.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Dadurch erfolgt die Kraftübertragung in der Fadensteuervorrichtung gedämpft, so dass insbesondere auch bei hohen Antriebszahlen Schläge gemindert werden und somit ein Beschädigen der Arretiermittel reduziert wird. Dies führt insbesondere zu einem wesentlich verminderten Verschleiss, damit höhere Lebensdauer bei gesteigerter Leistung. Weiter wird die Geräuschentwicklung reduziert, wodurch sich für die Bedienungsperson verbesserte Arbeitsbedingungen ergeben.Characterized in that divides the driver between the lifting device and the control means in the thread control device and connects the driver parts via an elastic damper member and / or the driver via a damper acting electromagnetic field of an electromagnetic coupling device non-contact with the lifting device, the loads during Catching the driver muffled on the locking device and yet made sure a safe locking of the driver to the locking device. As a result, the power transmission is damped in the thread control device, so that in particular blows are reduced at high numbers of drives and thus damaging the locking means is reduced. This leads in particular to a significantly reduced wear, so longer life with increased performance. Further, the noise is reduced, resulting in improved operating conditions for the operator.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Fadensteuervorrichtungen sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 13 umschrieben.Advantageous embodiments of the thread control devices are described in claims 2 to 13.

Besonders zweckmässig ist es, wenn der Dämpfer gemäss Anspruch 2 als Anschlag für die Hubvorrichtung ausgebildet ist, da hier die unmittelbare Krafteinleitung gegeben ist.It is particularly expedient if the damper is designed according to claim 2 as a stop for the lifting device, since the direct application of force is given here.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Kopplungsvorrichtung nach Anspruch 3 einen am Mitnehmer fest angeordneten Permanentmagnet aufweist, dessen Pol zwischen zwei gleichpoligen, an der Hubvorrichtung angeordneten Polen einer Magneteinrichtung schwebend derart gehalten ist, dass der Mitnehmer antriebsmässig mitnehmbar ist, solange der Mitnehmer nicht durch die Steuermittel in seiner Bewegung arretiert ist. Die Pole des Permanentmagneten können gemäss Anspruch 4 in Bewegungsrichtung des Mitnehmers oder gemäss Anspruch 5 quer zur Bewegungsrichtung des Mitnehmers ausgerichtet sein. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Magneteinrichtung der Hubvorrichtung gemäss Anspruch 6 permanentmagnetisch ausgebildet ist. Aber auch eine elektrische Ausbildung gemäss Anspruch 7 kann trotz einer komplizierten Stromzuführung denkbar sein.It is advantageous if the coupling device according to claim 3 has a permanent magnet arranged on the driver, the pole between two gleichpoligen, arranged on the lifting device poles of a magnetic device is suspended such that the driver is drivingly mitnehmbar, as long as the driver is not by the control means arrested in his movement. The poles of the permanent magnet can be aligned according to claim 4 in the direction of movement of the driver or according to claim 5 transversely to the direction of movement of the driver. It when the magnetic device of the lifting device according to claim 6 is formed permanent magnetic is particularly advantageous. But even an electrical training according to claim 7 may be conceivable despite a complicated power supply.

Eine besonders gedrungene Bauart ergibt sich, wenn gemäss Anspruch 8 eine Arretiervorrichtung in Schussrichtung und/oder in Kettrichtung der Fachbildevorrichtung gesehen die gleiche Teilung wie die die Kettfäden führenden Weblitzen aufweist.A particularly squat type results if, according to claim 8, a locking device in the weft direction and / or in the warp direction of the shedding device has the same pitch as the warp threads leading healds.

Eine besonders flache und wirkungsvolle Bauart ergibt sich, wenn der Mitnehmer gemäss Anspruch 9 als flache Platine ausgestaltet ist, deren einer Endteil direkt als Steuermittel gestaltet ist, das unter dem Einfluss eines elektromagnetischen Aktuators mit einem Arretierglied in Eingriff bringbar ist. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es dabei, wenn der Aktuator gemäss Anspruch 10 als Schrägpolmagnet ausgebildet ist und der Endteil des Mitnehmers gemäss Anspruch 11 als Blattfeder. Der Endteil des Mitnehmers kann gemäss Anspruch 12 mit einer Rastausnehmung versehen sein, die mit dem Arretierglied zusammenwirkt. Der Mitnehmer wirkt gemäss Anspruch 13 mit einer Rückzugsfeder zusammen, die zweckmässigerweise an dem Endteil angeordnet ist, welcher dem Steuermittel abgewandt ist.A particularly flat and effective design results when the driver is designed according to claim 9 as a flat board, one end portion is designed directly as a control means which is engageable under the influence of an electromagnetic actuator with a locking member into engagement.

Wege zur Ausführung der ErfindungWays to carry out the invention

Die Figur 1 zeigt in schematischer Darstellung eine Fadensteuervorrichtung, wie sie insbesondere als Fachbildevorrichtung für eine Webmaschine geeignet ist. Bei der Fadensteuervorrichtung werden die über einen Kettbaum 8 zugeführten Kettfäden 2 mittels als Litzen ausgebildeter Mitnehmer 4 zu einem Webfach 6 geöffnet. In das Webfach 6 wird ein Schussfaden 10 nach jedem Fachwechsel eingeschossen und am Warenrand 12 angeschlagen, so dass sich eine Gewebebahn 14 ergibt, die über einen Warenbaum 16 abgezogen wird.1 shows a schematic representation of a thread control device, as it is particularly suitable as a shedding device for a weaving machine. at the yarn control device, the warp yarns 2 fed via a warp beam 8 are opened by means of a driver 4 designed as strands to a shed 6. In the shed 6, a weft thread 10 is injected after each tray change and struck at the edge 12, so that a fabric web 14 results, which is subtracted over a cloth beam 16.

Die Fadensteuervorrichtung enthält die Mitnehmer 4, welche Oesen 18 aufweisen, durch die die Kettfäden 2 geführt sind. Die Mitnehmer 4 sind in einer Richtung, hier beispielsweise nach unten, mittels Federn 20 in Grundstellung vorgespannt. Eine oszillierende Hubvorrichtung 22 mit Hubmessern 24 greift über einen Anschlag 26 am Mitnehmer 4 an und bewegt diesen im Rhythmus der Hubvorrichtung 22 auf und ab, und zwar so lange, bis der Mitnehmer mittels der Arretiervorrichtung 28 in der Hochstellung blockiert wird. Die Arretiervorrichtung enthält Steuermittel 30 in Form einer einseitig fest gespannten Blattfeder 32, die unter dem Einfluss eines elektromagnetischen Aktuators 34 gegen den Mitnehmer 4 ausgeschwenkt werden kann, so dass ein Haken 36 der Blattfeder 32 mit einem Haken 38 des Mitnehmers zusammenwirkt und diesen in der oberen Stellung, der Hochfachstellung festhält.The thread control device includes the driver 4, which have eyelets 18 through which the warp threads 2 are guided. The driver 4 are biased in one direction, here, for example, down, by means of springs 20 in the basic position. An oscillating lifting device 22 with lifting blades 24 engages via a stop 26 on the driver 4 and moves it in the rhythm of the lifting device 22 up and down, until such time as the driver is blocked by the locking device 28 in the high position. The locking device comprises control means 30 in the form of a cantilevered leaf spring 32 which can be swung under the influence of an electromagnetic actuator 34 against the driver 4, so that a hook 36 of the leaf spring 32 cooperates with a hook 38 of the driver and this in the upper Position that holds high-skilled position.

Zur Dämpfung des Mitnehmers 4 ist dieser geteilt und die Mitnehmerteile 4a,4b sind berührungslos durch einen Dämpfer 40 verbunden, der aus einem elastischen Glied 42 gebildet ist, welches an dem Hubmesser 24 der Hubvorrichtung 22 angreift. Die auf den Anschlag 26 wirkenden Schläge der Hubvorrichtung werden dadurch gedämpft, wodurch eine Lärmentwicklung einerseits und ein Verschleiss der Fadensteuervorrichtung trotz hoher Antriebsleistung verringert werden. Insbesondere werden dadurch der Verschleiss der Haken 36,38 der Steuermittel 30 und des Mitnehmers 4 wesentlich reduziert und damit die Standzeiten der Fachbildevorrichtung verbessert.For damping of the driver 4 this is divided and the driver parts 4a, 4b are contactlessly connected by a damper 40 which is formed of an elastic member 42 which engages the lifting knife 24 of the lifting device 22. The forces acting on the stop 26 strokes of the lifting device are damped thereby, whereby a noise development on the one hand and a wear of the thread control device can be reduced despite high drive power. In particular, thereby the wear of the hooks 36,38 of the control means 30 and the driver 4 are substantially reduced and thus improves the service life of the shedding device.

Die Figuren 2 bis 5 zeigen eine weitere Fadensteuervorrichtung, die analog der Fadensteuervorrichtung der Figur 1 ausgebildet ist und zur Webfachbildung an einer Webmaschine verwendet werden kann. Bei dieser Fadensteuervorrichtung sind die Mitnehmer 44 als flache Platinen ausgebildet und bestehen aus zwei Mitnehmerteilen 44a,44b, die durch das Dämpfungsglied 40 berührungslos verbunden sind. Der obere Endteil der Mitnehmer 44 dient als Steuermittel 46 und ist hierzu als Blattfeder ausgestaltet, die gegen einen Aktuator 48 ausschwenkt, wenn dieser aktiviert ist. Der Aktuator 48 ist als Schrägpolmagnet ausgestaltet, wie insbesondere aus Figur 2 ersichtlich ist. Er weist einen im Wesentlichen E-förmigen Querschnitt auf, dessen mittlerer Steg 50 mit einer Wicklung 52 versehen ist, so dass der Aktuator beim Anlegen-eines Stromes elektromagnetisch wird und den oberen Endteil 54 anzieht. Der als Steuermittel 46 dienende obere Endteil 54 des Mitnehmers 44 enthält eine Öffnung 56, mittels der er bei aktiviertem Aktuator 48 mit einer Arretiernase 58 zusammenwirkt und festgehalten wird. Dadurch können die von dem Mitnehmer 44 bewegten Kettfäden in Hochfachstellung verharren, bis der Aktuator 48 wieder deaktiviert wird. Die Ausbildung der Fadensteuervorrichtung ist derart, dass die aus den Aktuatoren 48 und dem Steuermittel 46 gebildeten Arretiervorrichtungen 60 - in Schussrichtung 62 und/oder Kettrichtung 64 der Fachbildevorrichtung gesehen - die jeweils gleiche Teilung TK und/oder TS aufweisen, wie die die Kettfäden 2 führenden Mitnehmer 44. Dadurch ergibt sich eine sehr gedrungene Bauform der Fadensteuervorrichtung, die für die Fachbildevorrichtung einer Webmaschine besonders geeignet ist.FIGS. 2 to 5 show a further thread control device, which is designed analogously to the thread control device of FIG. 1 and can be used for shed forming on a weaving machine. In this thread control device the drivers 44 are formed as flat boards and consist of two driver parts 44a, 44b, which are connected by the attenuator 40 without contact. The upper end portion of the driver 44 serves as a control means 46 and is designed for this purpose as a leaf spring which swings against an actuator 48 when it is activated. The actuator 48 is designed as Schrägpolmagnet, as can be seen in particular from Figure 2. It has a substantially E-shaped cross-section, the central web 50 is provided with a winding 52, so that the actuator is electromagnetically when applying a current and the upper end portion 54 attracts. The serving as a control means 46 upper end portion 54 of the driver 44 includes an opening 56, by means of which it cooperates with activated actuator 48 with a locking lug 58 and is held. As a result, the warp threads moved by the driver 44 can remain in the raised position until the actuator 48 is deactivated again. The design of the thread control device is such that the locking devices 60 formed from the actuators 48 and the control means 46 - viewed in the weft direction 62 and / or warp direction 64 of the shed forming device - each have the same pitch TK and / or TS, as leading the warp threads 2 Driver 44. This results in a very compact design of the thread control device, which is particularly suitable for the shed forming device of a loom.

Die Figuren 6 und 7 zeigen eine weitere Fadensteuervorrichtung, die analog der Figur 1 ausgebildet ist und die als Dämpfer 40a eine berührungslose magnetische Koppelungsvorrichtung 66 aufweist, mittels der die Mitnehmer 68 mit der Hubvorrichtung 70 verbunden sind. Die Mitnehmer 68 können ungeteilt oder analog dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 1 zusätzlich geteilt ausgebildet sein, wobei die Mitnehmerteile 68a,68b über einen Dämpfer 40 berührungslos mit einander verbunden sind. Die Kopplungsvorrichtung 66 enthält ein permanentmagnetisches Koppelglied 72, das mit entsprechenden Koppelgliedern 74 der Hubvorrichtung 70 zusammenwirkt, wie dies im Detail in Figur 7 gezeigt ist. Das permanentmagnetische Koppelglied 72 des Mitnehmers 68 ist in Bewegungsrichtung des Mitnehmers 68 ausgerichtet und wirkt mit Koppelgliedern 74 der Hubvorrichtung 70 zusammen, die ebenfalls in Bewegungsrichtung ausgerichtet sind, bei denen jedoch die Pole so orientiert sind, dass auf jeder Seite gleich lautende Pole zwischen den Koppelgliedern 72 und 74 zusammenwirken. Durch das so ausgebildete Magnetfeld wird das Koppelglied 72 des Mitnehmers 68 zwischen den Koppelgliedern 74 der Hubvorrichtung 70 berührungslos in der Schwebe gehalten und mitgenommen. Die Kopplungsvorrichtung liefert einen besonders schlagfreien Antrieb der Mitnehmer, was sich Lärm und Verschleiss mindernd auswirkt.Figures 6 and 7 show another thread control device, which is formed analogously to Figure 1 and has a non-contact magnetic coupling device 66 as a damper 40a, by means of which the drivers 68 are connected to the lifting device 70. The entrainment 68 may be undivided or formed in addition to the embodiment of Figure 1 divided, wherein the driver parts 68a, 68b are connected via a damper 40 without contact with each other. The coupling device 66 includes a permanent magnetic coupling member 72, which cooperates with corresponding coupling members 74 of the lifting device 70, as shown in detail in Figure 7. The permanent magnetic coupling member 72 of the driver 68 is aligned in the direction of movement of the driver 68 and cooperates with coupling members 74 of the lifting device 70, which are also aligned in the direction of movement, in which, however Poles are oriented so that on each side the same poles between the coupling members 72 and 74 cooperate. Due to the thus formed magnetic field, the coupling member 72 of the driver 68 between the coupling members 74 of the lifting device 70 is held without contact in suspension and taken. The coupling device provides a particularly impact-free drive of the driver, which reduces noise and wear.

Die Mitnehmer müssen in-Verschieberichtung eine ausreichende Biegesteifigkeit aufweisen und können aus den verschiedensten Werkstoffen wie zum Beispiel Kunststoff bestehen, üblicherweise sind sie jedoch aus Stahl gefertigt.The drivers must have sufficient flexural rigidity in the direction of displacement and can be made of a wide variety of materials such as plastic, but they are usually made of steel.
