The invention relates to a device for control of warp threads in a weaving machine for production of leno fabrics comprising on a batten positioned reed with gliders among which are fed pairs of warp threads, where one of which is a part of a stationary warp threads system and the second is a part of a rotating warp threads system, while in the movement direction of the warp threads during weaving is in front of the reed positioned a guiding device of rotating warp threads coupled with an independent drive and a guiding device of stationary warp threads coupled with an independent drive, the warp threads of the rotating warp threads system are before entering the guiding means of the rotating warp threads deflected in the direction out of the stationary warp threads system using a guide member positioned in the frame of the machine.
Leno fabrics exhibit specific properties given by the construction of the binding point, where the particular cross lapping and consequently interlacing of the warp threads necessary for fixation of weft in the fabric is created by mutual whipping of a pair of warp threads around the introduced weft. The position of the weft is in every weft cycle always over the same one and below the same second warp threads system, where the warp threads do not interlace it by mutual rotation of upper and lower position but so is done by mutual whipping of rotating warp threads around stationary warp threads. This is why among wefts in leno fabric can be found gaps and these fabrics are suitable as industrial fabrics, backing cloths for carpets and the like.
Each warp threads system is led into own guiding means, whose arrangement and method of drive is different from known weaving machines.
According to
On the weaving machine for production of leno fabric consisting of weft threads and rotating and stationary warp threads according to
The common disadvantage of both described solutions is positioning of the stationary warp threads system on the guide member, which increases the weight of the heald shaft or the frame moving vertically in a long distance necessary for shed formation.
According to
Disadvantage of this solution is bigger loading of the warp threads, which represents bigger wear or damage of the threads with the weaving errors. Further disadvantage of the objected solution is necessity of using more means with more drives or more energy for drives.
The invention intends to eliminate the disadvantages of the background art
The goal of the invention has been reached by a device for control of warp threads in a weaving machine for production of leno fabrics according to the invention, whose principle consists in that the guiding means of rotating warp threads consists of a system of needles fitted with eyes positioned on a needle bar mounted horizontally reversibly convertibly on the machine frame on means situated over the weaving level and the guiding means of stationary warp threads consists of a bar fitted with openings and which is vertically reversibly convertibly mounted on means situated below the weaving level..
Example of embodiment of a means according to the invention is shown in the enclosed drawings, where
From a warp beam 1 are warp threads 2 drawn-off in a well-known manner and they are divided in a rotating warp threads system 21 and a stationary warp threads system 22. The stationary warp threads system 22 is led through a back rest 3 to a guiding means 4 of stationary warp threads 22 consisting a bar 41 fitted with openings 411 through which are led stationary warp threads 22, which further go through the gaps among gliders of the reed 51, which is positioned on a batten 5 into a binding point 23, where they become a part of a fabric 200. The bar 41 with the openings 411 is positioned vertically convertibly, which is in
Rotating warp threads system 21 is from the point of splitting from the stationary warp threads system 22 led through a guide member 6 into a rotating warp threads 21 guide means 7, which consists of a needle bar 7, in which are mounted needles 72 with eyes 721, in which are led rotating warp threads 21. The needle bar 71 is on the frame of the weaving machine mounted using leaf springs 711 convertibly in a horizontal position in the direction of the double arrow III and is coupled with electronic cam formed by a synchronous electromotor 73 with a governor. The drive of the needle bar 71 is composed of a separate motor, which is with the drive of the stationary warp threads 22 guiding device 4 coupled only with an electronic connection. From the needles 72 eyes 721 are the rotating warp threads 21 led through the gaps among gliders of the reed 51 into the binding point 23, where they become a part of the fabric 200. The needle bar 71 together with the means using which it is on the machine frame mounted are situated over the weaving level as well as the guide member 6, which is in the shown embodiment pivoted in the machine frame. Rotatable stationary mounting of the guide member 6 is advantageous in particular for gentle leading of rotating warp threads 21, which is for instance necessary for production of glass fiber fabrics. Mounting of the guide member 6 can be for stationary warp threads replaced for stationary mounting. Nevertheless it is always a question of separate positioning of the guide member 6 in the machine frame independently on the warp threads 7 guiding means.
During weaving is by a reversible vertical motion of the stationary warp threads guiding means 4 formed a shed, into which is in the shed position of all parts inserted a weft thread 8. Deflection of rotating warp threads 21 is provided by a horizontal reversible motion of the needle bar 71 with the needles 711, which is developed by the electronic cam represented by the synchronous electromotor 73 with a governor.
