1 Modern practice in theweaving art-tends towards a steady increase inloom operatingspeed. One of the problems encountered when attempting to increase the. speed of theloom-involves trouble with the operation of the shuttle and picker stafl. It has been found that it the picker stafl is not checked and brought smoothly to a stop at the end of its return stroke, without oscillation or rebound, that the shuttle is not always resulted in either a bump=or"shock*at the end'oi a*spring in' the check-mechanism to' absorb the "shock at the final portion of the stroke. Proreceived in a pre-determined position anderratic casting of the shuttle to the opposite side of the loom results. Early picker checks have included leather straps which'have proven unsatisfactory particularly where the humidity of the atmosphere is subject-to variation. Also, suchstraps in that they do not permit ace curate adjustment and do not eliminate rebound. Y
- speed operation. Hydraulic checks of the prior art have not been connected to the picker stat! but have been merely placed in its path like the old strap or pneumatic check, so, that the stat! strikes the check operating mechanism towards the end arangement has proven undesirable in that the stall! suddenly strikes the check arrangement while moving rapidly, resultgraduating checking action was provided for. If
the prior hydraulic checks are made topermit thepicker stat! to retract to the retracted positionin the time alloted, the hydraulic checking action could not be made great enough to hyvision -of a' spring to 'ai'din checking reduces the advantages of a hydraulic check, because if a spring'is' provided which is strong enough to have anycheckingeflect on the stall the same spring will simultaneously tend to produce a rebound of the stall. It is :a 'further object Of the present" invention to accomplish the 'flnal 'checking *by hydraulic means withoutrelying-on a." spring for thermal shock absorbing action;
It is another object of this invention to'so design the hydraulic means that the staff is brought to arest in anexceedingly smooth and positive manner without any jarring or rebound. This is accomplished by providing a'gradu'ated or metered checking arrangement. Briefly, the principle of operation resides in thefact that at the beginning of thecheckingactionwhere thevelocity oi the picker stafl is high even though a relatively large amount of liquid is by-passed an effective checkingactionds produced. As the velocity of the pickeris decreased the liquid by-passing passageway is correspondingly decreased which maintainsianeflective checking action.* In'this manner the checking action can be held substantially constant regardless of the picker staff velocity so that the picker stall is brought to a' smooth stop without rebound.
return the picker stafl to its retracted position by means of a spring or weight. In many'looms the spring serves the dual function of returning the stall. and holding the lower end of the staff in position on a supporting plate. The spring ar- 40 rangement just described will tend'to' bring the staff to its completely retracted position before the" staff receives the shuttle. If a dampening mechanism is present under these conditions this means that the position of the stall in its return stroke when the shuttlestrikes it depends upon the delicate construction of the damping orifices. The shuttle might strike the stair towards the beginning 01' the damping stroke or, if the'return spring is strong, the stall might be in 'acompletely retracted position when the shuttle strikes it. 'This results in non-uniform casting of the shuttle or possible rebounding ofthe'shuttle "in draulically bring the stat! to a smooth stop. This case the staff has come to rest 'whenit receives the shuttle; It is an object of the present invention to insure that the shuttle cannotrebound by canceling the return spring pressure a short time before the staff reaches its retracted position whereby the inertia of the shuttle as it strikes the stafl returns the staff to its retracted position. In my design I eliminate all chance of rebound oi the shuttle by adjustlngthe springs and designing the check mechanism so that the point of balance of a balance spring on the check mechanism and the return spring on the picker staff is somewhat near orat the point where the hydraulic checking action begins. In this manner the shuttle inertia. moves the stall through the last part of its retract stroke against the uniform checking action of the checking device, and since my novel checking device is-made adjustable, it is very simple to start the machine and adjust the mechanism for a given speed so that the shuttle and stafl are brought to a smooth stop without rebound. These and other advantages of my invention will be apparent as the following description proceeds.
In the drawings:
Fig. l is a simplified view of the picker staff in the loom showing how my hydraulic check mechanism is connected thereto;
Fig. 2 is a sectional view through my hydraulic check mechanism;
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken at 3-4 of Fi 2;
Fig. 4 is a partial sectional view during the final portion of the check stroke;
Fig. 5 is a partial sectional view of the modified form of piston and cylinder assembly; and
Fig. 6 is a section of a second modification.
Referring to Fig. 1, a portion of the loom frame is indicated at L. The picker staii is shown at S and arm A operated by conventional loom mechanism moves the staff on a power stroke to cast the shuttle. The improved check mechanism is shown at C. In accordance with conventional practice a track I is provided in the lay for the shuttle 2 and a picker 3 on the picker stafi throws the shuttle across the loom when the staff is advanced on the power stroke. The picker staff itself is mounted in a shoe [which has a curved surface 5 for rolling on the supporting plate 6, mounted on the rocker shaft in the conventional manner the purpose of this arrangement being to approximate a straight line motion of the picker 3. A flexible strap 1 is passed over an extension 8 of the picker staff and fastened at 9. A spring drum ill is mounted as at II on the shoe 6 and the drum is spring urged to move the picker staff in its retracted position as indicated by the arrow. This description of the picker staff mounting is merely given as a background for explaining the present invention. the details thereof are immaterial so far as the present invention is concerncd. Any convenient fastening means I4 may be provided to link a rod II to a lever l6 in the hydraulic mechanism C. The spring i1 is the balancing spring previously referred to in the general description and it connects to a fixed ear l8 which may be integral with the housing of the hydraulic mechanism. The retracting force of the spring in drum in is balanced at some position before the picker stag reaches its fullest retracted position by spring H. For example, assume that the shuttle 2 is approaching the picker 3. The picker staff has come to rest a certain distance before it engages the positive stop I so that the remainder of the staff travel absorb shuttle inertia.
Referring to Fig. 2, a cylinder housing 20 is connected to or integral with a. reservoir 2| and 4 I oil or other liquid 22 is provided in the assembled device. For economy of construction the device may include a cylinder liner 23 retained by :1 cylinder head or cap member 24 threaded to member 20 as at 25 and sealed by an O-ring or other convenient sealing means 26. The cap 24 engages the end of the cylinder liner 23 and is sealed therein as at 2;]. The cylinder liner 23 has one or more apertures 28, the purpose of which will be described presently. The cylinder head 24 may be grooved as at 30 and apertured as at 3| to provide communication between the interior and the exterior of the cylinder. An annular chamber 32 is formed between the cylinder liner 23 and the cylinder housing 23. The flanges at each end of the cylinder liner would block liquid flow so these are slotted as at 33 and 34 to permit communication from the closed end of the cylinder to the reservoir. An extension 35 may be formed on the cylinder cap to receive the check valve 36 which valve is urged by spring 31 against the cylinder cap in order to block apertures 31. Spring 3! acts against a retainer 38.
An adjustable metering rod 40 may be threaded to the cylinder block as at 4| and has a cylindrical portion 42 and a tapered end 43. A liquid seal 40a. is provided for the rod 40. The piston P is apertured 'at 44 end to end. and a metering aperture 45 is provided of equal or slightly larger diameter than the cylindrical portion 42 of the metering pin. Wrist pin 46 links connecting rod 41 to'actuating lever [6 by a pin 48. The actuating layer Hg is pivoted as at 50 in any convenient manner. Flexible cover member 5| may be provided to retain and prevent splashing out of the liquid.
Fig. 3 shows how the flanges in the cylinder housing 20 may be relieved as at 34 to provide a liquid passageway. Similar structure is formed as at 33.
In describing the operation of the device, the situation illustrated in Fig. 2 is that which occurs during the initial part of the return stroke wherein the spring I!) on the picker staff is moving the arm IE to the right and hence the piston P is being forced to the left. As shown by the small arrows superimposed in the liquid, liquid tends to flow in two paths during the intial part 02 the return stroke. Any liquid trapped in the closed portion of the cylinder can escape out through apertures 45 and 44 and thereby out through the reservoir. Likewise, liquid can be forced through apertures 28 in the cylinder liner and passing through chamber 32 and passage 34, find its way to the reservoir. Thus, it can be seen that an appreciable part of the return stroke is substantially unimpeded by the hydraulic mechanism, permitting the return spring Ill to rapidly retract the picker staff regardless of the fact that the check mechanism is permanently linked to the stall.
As the return or check stroke continues, the piston moves to the left as seen in Fig. 2 until it blocks apertures 28. Now the only manner in which liquid can be displaced from the closed end of the cylinder is through the metering aperture 45 in the piston. But at this point the tapered metering portion 43 of the pin begins to enter the aperture 45 to restrict displacement of the liquid.
Turning to Fig. 4, it can be seen that the piston has advanced and the apertures 28 are completely blocked. Simultaneously, the tapered metering portion 43 is gradually closing off the aper ture 45, the only-path through which liquid can be displaced to the reservoir. This action continues until towards the end of the stroke the cylindrical portion 42 substantially closes ofl the aperture 45 in the piston. Of'course, the metering rod can be adjusted so that the closing ofl. of the aperture does not occur until the return or check stroke is completed or it is possible to make the portion 42 slightly smaller than the aperture 45 in the piston so that a slight amount of liquid displacement is permitted when the cylindrical pin portion is in the metering aperture. When the tapered pin portion 43 first enters the metering aperture in the piston, the piston is traveling rapidly and although a substantial amount of liquid can be displaced, since the piston is moving rapidly the liquid velocity and the checking action will be at a substantial value. As the return or check stroke continues, the effective aperture is steadily decreasing but the piston velocity decreases likewise, so that the checking action remains substantially constant. This action continues until the piston is brought to a smooth stop at the end of its stroke.
Since the checking mechanism is linked to the picker stafi, it is important that the check mechanism provide for an unimpeded power stroke. This is made possible by the check valve 36 which opens on the power stroke, permitting liquid to pass from the reservoir into the cylinder through passage 34, chamber 32 and passage 33, and through the apertures 3i in the plug. In this manner'free return of the piston is permitted during the power stroke even though the by-pass apertures 28 in the cylinder liner are covered by the piston during the first part of the stroke. Since the shuttle usually leaves the picker stall before it reaches the end of its power stroke, it is desirable to cushion the end of that stroke and this is accomplished by making the sleeve portion 5| on the piston move through an aperture 52 in the cylinder liner, the relative diameters are such that liquid is trapped in the right hand portion of the cylinder and must be forced through the annular aperture in order to complete the power stroke of the piston. Thus a highly desirable cushioning action at the end of the power stroke is provided in a very simple manner.
With respect to the inter-action of the spring l'l on the check mechanism and the spring drum ill at the picker staff, it is possible to so adjust the tension of spring I! that it balances the tension of the spring in drum ill at about the time the piston begins to close off the by-pass apertures 28 in the cylinder. This is near the end of the return stroke and is the place at which cushioning action begins under impact of the shuttle. The adjustable by-pass metering pin can be set so that the final checking action of the cylinder absorbs tl 1e inertia of the rapidly moving shuttle as it strikes the picker stafi. Of course, it is possible to omit the spring I! and adjust the metering pin so that a similar action is obtained except that in this case slightly greater checking rate would probably be required to cushion the force of the spring at, the picker stafi as well as the inertia of the shuttle towards the end of the return stroke.
The modification shown in Fig. 5 has functions like that previously described but the metering pin is carried by the piston instead of by the cylinder. The cylinder liner 6!! may be retained in the cylinder C by a snap ring 6011 or other iastening means at its open end, which urges the flange 62 at the other end against a flange 62a on the cylinder housing. Cylinder cap Si is An extension portion 64 of the cylinder cap enters the cylinder liner 60 and is apertured as at Bl to communicate with one or more by-pas apertures 66 in th cylinder liner. The extension portion of the cylinder cap is sealed with the cylinder liner as at 61, and the extension may be provided with an oriflce plate 69 pressed into place or integral with the end cap. The metering aperture 69 communicate with a central bore 19 so that liquid trapped in the confined portion of the cylinder may pass through apertures 65 and 66 and back to the reservoir. The chamber II and the relieved portion 13 of the cylinder housing complete the return passageway from the end of the cylinder to the reservoir 15.
The piston may be formed with a removable plug it having a tapered metering pin 11 for cooperating with the metering aperture 69 in the cylinder cap. The plug is formed with apertures 18 in communication with a central bore in the piston. Passage of liquid through the piston is prevented on the return stroke by check valve I9 which is spring urged by spring against seat 8| in the piston. The final bufiing action at the end of the power stroke is obtained by restriction between pilot portion 82 on the piston and an aperture 83 in the cylinder liner. Link 84 is connected to move the piston as in the first modification. In operation the device shown in Fig. 5 is like that previously described. The piston moves to the left and in the first portion of the check stroke liquid is by-passed from the closed end of the cylinder through ports 66a and ports 66 back to the reservoir. When the piston closes ports 66a the metering pin 'I'l begins to enter orifice plate 68 and the liquid trapped between the piston and the end of the cylinder cap must pass through the ports 65 and 66. In this manner the checking action against a piston traveling at constantly diminishing speed is maintained relatively constant and the piston is brought to a smooth stop. Adjustment of the checking action may be provided by rotation of the cylinder cap (it by any convenient means and, of course, a locking set screw or other locking device may be used to maintain that adjustment.
The modification in Fig. 6 functions very much like that shown in Fig. 5 except that the metering orifice plate also serves as a check valve to permit an unchecked power stroke of the piston. The cylinder body C carries the cylinder liner retained by a snap ring 90a working against the shoulder 9| on the cylinder liner which shoulder abuts internal flange 92 in the cylinder body. Sealing ring 93 is engaged by the sleeve portion 94 of the end cap 95. The sealing ring also bears against the wall of the cylinder body and an adjustable plug member 91. The cap member 95 is threaded to the cylinder body at 95a and it also rgtains the plug member 91 by means of threads 9 Plug 91 is bored as at 98 and provided with communicating apertures 99 which are lined with apertures I00 in the cylinder liner to permit flow of liquid during the check stroke, after the piston has closed off the other set of apertures lfllla in the cylinder liner. The plug 91 has an extension IOI which carries the snap ring I02 to back a spring 14 causing it to hold a metering plate I05 and a valve washer I06 against a seat formed on the plug member.
The tapered metering rod I 01 is attached to the piston P" and functions in conjunction with the can? metering plate III in the manner described in connection with Fig. 5. On the return stroke a vacuum is initially created inthe closed cylinder end which causes the metering plate I" and the washer "8 to unseat and liquid can fill the end of the cylinder by passing through bleed ports Illa in the plug.
At the other end of the piston the bufilng projection I and its cooperating orifice It! are provided for purposes previously described. The connecting rod is partially shown in the view and at the left of the view an adjusting wire III is shown which may be' used to adjust the position of the plug 91 and hence control the checkin: action.
Having described the details of the three forms oi my invention, it will be recognized that various modifications may be made without departing from the essential nature of my device. Although I have disclosed means of assembling parts which are readily machined in order to build up my check device, these have been shown more in the nature of an illustration than as a necessary method 01 manufacturing my device. Essentially, what is needed is an unchecked initial portion of a return stroke followed by a checked portion oi that stroke wherein the liquid must pass through apertures of diminishing cross section as the return stroke continues. I have illustrated three forms which will produce this function but it is to be understood that I contemplate that numerous modifications and mechanism expedients can be devised to produce the same results. In addition, the action oi my check device in conjunction with the picker stat! of a loom wherein the device is connected to the stat! throughout both strokes and which produces the eflicient action described earlier in this specification is not found in the prior art and my invention resides in that combination 0! elements as well as in the detailed construction of a check mechanism which makes it possible to produce such a combination. For this reason the design details I have shown in the drawings are not to be construed as limited to the'seope oi the invention as defined in the appended claims.
