  • Terry ABSTRACT An arrangement for optical monitoring of weft threads in a loom wherein free ends of the weft threads project from the shed which comprises a light-sensitive cell, a light source (Le a light-emitting diode of semiconducting material) directing a light beam towards the light-sensitive cell, and means for causing the ends of the weft threads to execute a prescribed movement outside of the shed; the light beam being encountered by the thread ends during their prescribed movement whereby the light-sensitive cell monitors the presence of the thread ends.
  • a light source Le a light-emitting diode of semiconducting material
  • the present invention relates to an arrangement for the optical monitoringof weft threads in a loom, wherein ends of the weft threads project in a prescribed manner from the shed after they are inserted therein, and wherein a light source havinga beam directed towards a light-sensitive cell is provided to uniquely monitor the presence of the ends of the weft threads.
  • weft thread monitors have'the advantage that they enable the looms to be run athigh speeds and ,do not involve any mechanical contact with the weft threads.
  • the known optical weft thread monitors have had the disadvantage that the constant vibrations stemming from the loom have an adverse effect upon the light sources hitherto used.
  • the vibrations also have the effect of causing the light beam to act with varying intensity on the light-sensitive cell, since the light source (heated coil) changes its position. Additionally, with the known arrangements, it has been necessary to provide diaphragms or lenses. If diaphragms are provided for producing the light beam, there then arises the problem of undesirable heatingup. The use of lenses results in an expensive construction and, moreover, in this case the thread to be sensed has, as far as possible, to be positioned at the focal point, i.e., if it is displaced from its nominal position, the loom may be stopped in error.
  • this invention contemplates an arrangement for optical monitoring of weft threads in a loom, characterized in that a light-emitting diode of semiconducting material is used as the light source for directing a light beam towards a light-sensitive cell, means are provided for causing the ends of the weft threads to execute a prescribed movement, and the position of the light beam is so selected that the beam is encountered by the ends of the threads when the threads execute their prescribed movements.
  • the weft thread is monitored at a particularly favorable point. If, for some reason, no thread is present, then there will also be no thread end projecting from the shed. Since the thread ends may encounter the light source for only a short period, and since (because of the occurrence of short ends), a small zone ofinfluence 0r actuation exists, the smallness of the light source is of considerable importance. Moreover, because the lightsensitive cell can also be kept small, the arrangement according to the invention can be made very small and it can be brought into the immediate vicinity of the thread ends. As regards order of size, the light source and the light-sensitive cell are approximated to the thread to be monitored, so that the relative sensitivity of the arrangement is increased.
  • the light source and the light-sensitive cell are disposed in a device or means for sucking in the free ends of the threads.
  • FIG. 1- is a schematic plan view of an apparatus fon inserting weft threads ona loom and the monitoring arrangement of this invention
  • FIG. 2 shows an optical means of the monitoringarrangernent fitted in a suction device which. results in aparticularly favorable construction of the invention
  • FIG. 3 illustrates another embodiment'of an arrangement of theoptical means relative to the suctionvdevice of theinventron
  • FIG. 4 shows an electrical circuit of the monitoring arrangementutilizing-the signals produced'by the optiCaLmeans
  • FIG. 5. is a perspective view further showing; the optical monitoring means of FIG. 2 supported. on the suction:device on the.loom.
  • FIG. I shows schematically an embodiment of aweaving apparatus.(and its method-of operation) in which the present invention is used.
  • the reference numerals 1 1 and 12 indicate weft thread feed bobbins positioned-on each side of the loom frame. Threads 13 and 1-4, respectively, run from these bobbins through the rings 15 and 16, respectively, fixed to the loom frame, the thread-braking devices Hand 18, respectively, and further to thread guides 19 and 20, respectively.
  • the thread 13 ends within the suction nozzle 21, which serves as athread-retaining means, and. thread 14 is drawn away through a corresponding suction nozzle 22, also functioning as a thread-retaining means.
  • the suction nozzles 21 and 22' are secured to the frame of the loom.
  • the free end of thread 14 is held by the suction device or means 25.
  • Another suction device or means (corresponding to the latter and located on the left-hand side of the loom) is indicated by the reference numeral 26.
  • the suction devices 25 and 26 are disposed on the movable sley and are movable relatively thereto in a vertical direction.
  • the shuttle 31 On the sley 30 (of which the front or cloth side limit is not shown in the drawing) is located the shuttle 31, which serves as a pick-inserting member or means. On its bottom running face, the shuttle has a portion 35 of ferromagnetic material, e.g. iron, which is sunk into the face.
  • the shuttle also has two horizontal openings 43 and 44 extending through it. These narrow towards the center of the shuttle 31 for the purpose of guiding threads drawn through the openings 43 or 44 towards an appropriately narrowed zone.
  • thread-clamping means which are able to retain a thread located in that zone with a predetermined force; it being possible to withdraw the thread from the shuttle 31, i.e., this predetermined force is smaller than the breaking strength of the weft threads (threads 13 and 14) and is such that the weft threads are withdrawn by the application of a breaking force.
  • each of the systems 33 and 34 comprises a permanent magnet surrounded by a wire coil (not shown in FIG. 1).
  • Each magnet is U-shaped, ile., a horseshoe magnet, and is fitted into the sley in such a way that its poles point upwards (i.e., the magnet forms an upright U).
  • pullin devices or means 36 and 37 incorporating hooks 41 and 42, respectively. These devices are mounted on the shafts 38 and 39, carried by the sley 30, and can be swung about these shafts and serve to pull the weft threads 13 and 14, respectively, into the shuttle 31.
  • the numerals 52 and 40 indicate two shears for cutting off the weft threads 13 and 14, respectively.
  • the thread-braking devices 'or means 17 and 18 incorporate the thread-clamping means 46 and 47, which are actuable by means of the controllable magnets 48 and 49, respectively. These magnets, as hereinafter described, are controlled by the magnetic systems 33 and 34.
  • the shuttle 31 In the working phase of the loom that is illustrated in FIG. 1, the shuttle 31 has just moved from the left to the right-hand side of the machine.
  • the thread 14, inserted during its flight, is held by the closed clamp 47 of the braking device; the magnet 49 associated therewith having been appropriately actuated. Due to the thread 14 being clamped by the clamp 47, the thread-end held by the shuttle 31 has been drawn out of the shuttle 31.
  • the extracted end of the thread is sucked up and retained by the suction device 25.
  • the magnet 48 of the braking device 17 is energized to the extent that the clamp 46 is closed.
  • the thread 14 drawn into the shed is beaten up on the cloth beat-up and a change of the shed comprised of the warp threads 23 takes place.
  • the shears 52 and 40 cut the weft thread 14 at both edges of the cloth.
  • the end thereby released at the left-hand side is sucked into the retaining nozzle 22.
  • the short thread end hanging in the suction device 25 is sucked up by this device.
  • the pullin device 36 rotates in the anticlockwise direction (as seen in FIG. 1) until its hook 41 extends through the opening 44 running horizontally through the shuttle 31. This movement is produced by the roller 50 which is caused to move over the cammed surface Sl'by the movement of the sley.
  • the hook 51 thereby seizes the thread 13 offered by the movable thread guide 19 and, since the clamp 46 is closed, pulls it out of the thread retaining means 21 and through the opening 44 of the shuttle 31.
  • the movement of the pullin device 37 (which takes place at the same time) has no effect on thread 14 since the thread is not passed to it via the thread guide 20.
  • the thread 13 is drawn along in the shuttle 31 and possibly a part of it is drawn through the shuttle, since the clamp 46 is still closed.
  • the thread brake or clamping means which is contained in the slot 44 and into which it is drawn, the thread is subjected to a predetermined tensile force.
  • the clamp 46 is opened by the magnet 48 being appropriately actuated.
  • the shuttle 31 draws the weft thread 13 from the feed bobbin 11 through the shed.
  • a voltage impulse is produced in the latter.
  • This impulse or signal actuates the magnet 48 by means of a circuit (not illustrated) so that the clamp 46 is closed and the weft thread 13 is retained thereby.
  • the thread 13 is thus drawn out ofthe shuttle 31 and leaves it at the front side of the shuttle, Le. the side facing the edge of the cloth.
  • FIG. 2 shows the detailed construction of such a suction device. This figure illustrates an elevational view as seen in the direction of the orifice in the suction device.
  • the suction nozzle 66 is made of a suitable plastic material. It is held by the metallic retaining elements 81, 82.
  • the sidewalls 54, 55 are attached to the retaining elements by means of screws 53.
  • the small plates 58 and 59 are retained by the sidewalls 54 and 55 and appropriate rings 56, 57.
  • the plate 58 serves as a base or attachment for the light-sensitive cell 60 and the plate 59 acts as a base or attachment for the light source 61. Openings 62 and 63 are provided in the suction nozzle 66 to enable the light beam 64 (shown in broken lines) from the light source 61 to reach the cell 60, which in the embodiment shown is a photoelectric cell.
  • a light-emitting diode of semiconducting material is used as the light source 61.
  • Such light sources can be considered as the converse of cells in which current is produced by the effect of light. In these cells, a voltage difference occurs due to the absorption of light at a PN junction. In the case of the lightemitting diode, the PN junction shines when voltage is applied. The emission of light is achieved by the reconstruction of cavities with electrons. Its excess energy is thereby given off in the form of light radiation. The amount of excess energy is typical for each semiconductor material and thus determines the wave length of the radiation. The light radiation can, if this is desired, be concentrated by means of a small lens.
  • the electrical connection with the photoactive elements 60 and 61 is carried out in such manner that the sidefaces of each small plate 58 and 59, made of insulating material, carry the appropriate electrical conductors. These conductors can be applied to the sidefaces as a printed circuit.
  • the suction device or means 25 will now be specifically considered with reference to the operation of the loom.
  • the suction device 25 and its nozzle 66 are located in the immediate vicinity of the shuttle 31, flying past.
  • the opening 43 in the shuttle 31 is approximately or precisely at the level of the suction device 25
  • the outermost end of the thread 14 is drawn out of the shuttle 31 by the clamp 47 that just previously has closed.
  • the free end of the thread 14 is taken over by the suction device 25.
  • This phase in the process of thread takeover is illustrated in FIG. 2. It can be seen that when the thread is taken over, the end of the thread 14 is sucked into the interior of the suction device 25.
  • the end thereby passes across the light beam 64.
  • the change in the intensity of the light striking the light-sensitive cell 60, caused thereby, is registered by the cell.
  • the resulting electrical signal, supplied by the cell 60, is passed to the circuit illustrated in FIG. 4 and causes no stoppage of the loom to take place.
  • the suction nozzle 66 has an opening of elongate form.
  • the longer sides of the suction nozzle 66 lie parallel with the path of movement of the shuttle 31 that inserts the weft threads 13 and 14 into the shed.
  • the light-sensitive cell 60 and the light source 61 are disposed, the one opposite the other, on the long sides of the nozzle 66.
  • FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, which differs from that of FIG. 2, in that the light-sensitive cell 60 and the light source 61 are fitted at other points in the suction nozzle 66.
  • FIG. 3 again illustrates a view seen in the direction of the orifice in the suction nozzle. Again assuming that it is the suction device 25 that is being considered, then in this view the end of the thread 14 (when sucked in) is applied against the right-hand side of the nozzle 66 as indicated by the thread portion 14 seen in this drawing.
  • the side of the nozzle 66 which faces the middle of the sley 30, should incorporate a convex curvature directed towards this middle area of the loom, since the end of the thread 14 is always moved by the suction action on the outermost zone of this curvature (or the zone thereof nearest the middle area).
  • the photoactive elements 60, 61 are then so arranged that the light beam 64 is also directed onto this outermost zone, then it can be guaranteed that the thread end is reliably registered.
  • the use of a diode of semiconducting material as the light source offers the advantage that a fine, concentrated light beam can be formed and that the arrangement of the photoactive elements is very compact and is, advantageously, extremely insensitive to vibrations.
  • the fine beam the changes in light caused by the thread are large compared with the effect. of the light beam 64 on the photoelectric cell 60. These changes are such that even when the thread flicks past extremely rapidly, its movement suffices to give a clearly discernible signal.
  • the fitting of the photoactive elements in the suction devices and 26 also offers the advantage that there is practically no danger of the equipment becoming covered with dust. The particles of dust are subjected to continuous suction and therefore have no opportunity for settling.
  • the photoactive elements need not necessarily be fitted inside the suction device. These elements can be positioned at any other place in which the light beam directed by the light source onto the photoelectric cell is encountered by the piece of thread (to be monitored) that makes the prescribed movement.
  • the light-sensitive cell 60 and the light source 61 are mounted on the end of the nozzle 66 which acts as a suction device for drawing the thread past the cell 60.
  • the nozzle 66 is, as heretofore described, secured to the sley 30 andis mova ble backwards and forward relative thereto.
  • FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a circuit in which the signals for controlling the loom (Le. those supplied by the photoelectric cells 60 of the suction devices 25 and 26) are used.
  • the photoelectric cells 60 of the suction devices 25 and 26 are connected to the common input of the amplifier 70.
  • the signals passed to the magnets 48 and 49 for closing the clamps 46 and 47, respectively, are also used in the circuit of FIG. 4. These signals are passed to the common input point of the timer member or means 71. When an impulse reaches the input of the timer member 71, this member supplies an impulse 79 of prescribed duration at its output.
  • this timer member 71 can be so constricted, that the duration of the impulse 79 produced by it can be varied or accurately adjusted to prescribed values.
  • the output of the amplifier 70 and of the timer member 71 are passed to the AND circuit 72.
  • the output of this circuit 72 is connected to one input of each of the flip-flop circuits 73 and 74.
  • Starting signals are supplied by the starting impulse transmitters 75 and 76 to the other two inputs ofthe flip-flop circuits 73 and 74.
  • the impulses supplied to the flip-flop 73 by the starting impulse transmitter 75 coincide roughly, as regards timing, with the start of the movement of the shuttle on the left-hand side of the loom, and the impulses supplied by the starting impulse transmitter 76 to the flip-flop 74 coincide with the start of the movement of the shuttle on the right-hand side of the loom.
  • lmpulses supplied by the AND circuit 72 on the other hand shift the outputs of these flip-flop circuits 73 and 74 to zero voltage.
  • the voltage at the outputs of the circuits 73 and 74 is already zero, it will not be changed by impulses from the AND circuit 72.
  • the outputs of the circuits 73 and 74 are each connected to an input of the AND circuit 77. if these connections are under positive voltage at the same time, a signal occurs at the output of the AND circuit 77 which indicates that there is no weft thread present and which can therefore be used for stopping the loom.
  • the voltages at the outputs of the flip-flop circuits 73 and 74 are zero.
  • the starting impulse transmitter 76 supplies an impulse, whereby positive voltage is applied to the output of the flip-flop 74.
  • element 34 supplies a signal whereby the magnet 48 is actuated.
  • the signal for actuating the magnet 48 there is also formed a signal 80, which is passed to the timer member 71.
  • the timer member 71 therefore provides an impulse 79 of predetermined duration which is passed to the input of the AND circuit 72.
  • the weft thread 13 is thereupon drawn out of the shuttle 31 arriving at the left-hand side of the loom and is taken over by the suction device 26. At this moment, the
  • photoelectric cell 60 contained in device 26, supplies a signal which is amplified in the amplifier 7'0 and is then passed, likewise as an impulse 78, to the AND circuit 72.
  • the duration of the impulse 79 from the timer member 71 is such that, when the loom is operating correctly, the impulse 78 from the amplifier 70 coincides with the impulse 79 as regards timing.
  • the AND circuit 72 supplies a signal whereby the output of theflip-flop 74 is again brought to zero voltage.
  • the output of the flip-flop 73 remains at zero voltage during this operatron.
  • the shuttle 31 is now shot from left to right, a cycle of events corresponding precisely to that just described takes place.
  • the starting signal is now supplied by the starting impulse transmitter 75 that switches the flip-flop 73 to produce a positive output signal and, simultaneously with the signal for actuating the magnet 49, a signal 81 is produced and passed to the timer member 71.
  • the end of the inserted weft thread 14 causes a signal to occur in the photoelectric cell 60 of the suction device 25. This signal is supplied as an impulse 78 to the AND circuit 72.
  • This cycle of events is not described in detail since it is completely analogous with that already describedwith reference to device 26.
  • the signal 78 must occur before the end of the signal 79, since otherwise it will not be allowed through the AND circuit 72.
  • the signal 78 is created by the thread end encountering the light beam 64 in the suction devices 25 and 26, respectively.
  • the circuit illustrated thus also enables the lengths of these thread ends to be monitored. This is based on the following:
  • This somewhat longer period of time required for the registering of the thread can be measured in relation to the passage of shuttle 31, at a prescribed point along the path over which the shuttle is inserted. Since actuation of the magnets 48 and 49, respectively, always takes place when the shuttle 31 is at a very well defined point, the use of the signals for actuating the magnets 48 and 49 (which in themselves serve to control the release of the weft threads 13 and 14 from the shuttle 31) is particularly suitable for measuring this longer period.
  • the :signals 79 are therefore produced in synchronism with the signals controlling the the case of thread ends that are too long, however, the impulse 78 will no longer coincide with the impulse 79, as regards timing, and no signal will occur at the output of the AND circuit 72, so that the output of the corresponding flip-flop circuit (e.g. 74) when the shuttle is moving from the right, is not returned to zero voltage. The loom is thus stopped at the beginning of the next picking of the shuttle.
  • This defective operation can be remedied by electrostatically screening the nozzle by an electrically conducting surface.
  • This screening can be achieved, for example, by surrounding the nozzle on the outside with a metallic layer made of an electrically conducting material, or, as shown in FIG. 2 by housing the nozzle 66 in metal elements 81, 82, 54 and 55, which completely surround it.
  • an arrangement for the optical monitoring of weft threads each having at least one free end wherein upon insertion of each weft thread into the successive sheds, the free ends thereof project from the sheds, said monitoring arrangement comprising a light-sensitive cell, a light source having a light beam directed on said light-sensitive cell, means operativcly associated with said cell for indicating the intensity of the light striking said cell and thread takeover means for causing the free ends of the weft threads projecting from the sheds to execute a prescribed movement; said light source comprising a light-emitting diode of semiconducting material and being so positioned with respect to said thread takeover means that during the prescribed movement of the ends of said weft threads the light beam is encountered by the thread ends and the intensity of the beam is changed, whereby the light-sensitive cell via the means associated therewith, monitors the presence of each of the thread ends projecting from the shed by the change of intensity of the light beam or the absence of the thread ends by the constant intensity of said light beam
  • said loom includes a weft inserting shuttle and in which the thread takeover means for causing the free ends of the weft to execute said prescribed movement are suction means for sucking the free ends therein.
  • suction means comprises a suction nozzle having a suction orifice of elongated form, the longer sides of which lie parallel with the path of movement of the shuttle for inserting the weft threads into the successive sheds and the light source bein positioned so that the light beam is directed transversely of t e longitudinal sides of said orifice.
