[0001] The present invention relates to a weaving loom with an electromagnetic device for
the insertion of the weft yarns.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] As known, projectile weaving looms differ from the other types of looms by the fact
that the weft yarns are inserted into the shed through a projectile, i.e. a tapered
metal body of a suitable mass and shape, to which the end of the weft yarn is gripped.
[0003] At the shed outlet (usually in correspondence of the right hand-side of the weaving
loom, with reference to the weaver's position) the projectile is slowed and stopped
by a braking device, the weft yarn is loosened and hence the projectile is caused
to return towards the launch side of the loom (usually the left hand-side) through
a suitable continuous transport system. On the launch side, the individual in-coming
projectiles are loaded onto a device which progressively brings them in front of the
launching station where they are launched again into the shed, driving into the same
another weft yarn.
STATE OF THE BACKGROUND ART
[0004] This type of loom, in the face of advantages detectable especially in the weaving
of very wide fabrics, has some significant drawbacks. Firstly there are mechanical-type
drawbacks, directly connected to the high impulse thrust which must be imparted to
the projectile. In particular, in addition to the problems determined by the impulse
thrust which the projectile undergoes by the launching member, the complication exists
of devising a suitable mechanism which produces a sufficiently intense but not excessively
invasive thrust.
[0005] GB 2.003.198 discloses a conventional launching device in which a launching member, meant to firmly
abut on the rear end of the projectile, is supported on a lever driven by a torsion
bar cyclically loaded through a cam mechanism.
[0006] As can be easily guessed, the system making use of the cam-loaded torsion bar represents
a rather critical mechanical component, both in terms of the undergone and imparted
stresses, and in terms of the opportunity of determining and controlling the motion
law of the projectile in the launching step.
[0007] As a matter of fact, since the projectile is launched through the shed with a very
high impulsive acceleration, and it is not subsequently controlled by any driving
member, some typical weaving problems arise in projectile weaving looms e in particular
a high initial stress of the weft yarns and a substantially uncontrolled behaviour
of the projectile along the entire travel within the shed. In particular, when the
thrust impulse does not occur perfectly symmetrically on the projectile, the projectile
trajectory undergoes lateral oscillations which are controlled by the guides within
which the projectile slides, but which worsen the effectiveness and the regularity
of the launches.
[0008] JP-48-44559 (1973) of Mitsubishi Electric discloses a possible alternative solution for the projectile
launch, where the projectile is brought to the maximum set launching speed no longer
due to a mechanical thrust member, but rather due the acceleration produced on the
projectile by an electromagnetic field in which the projectile is immersed. In particular
said electromagnetic field is created by one or two coils arranged in sequence along
the projectile trajectory, which trajectory passes through an internal axial cavity
of the coils so as to create a magnetic field as even and parallel as possible around
such trajectory.
[0009] Although the launching technology illustrated above has by now been known for various
decades, a practical application of the same has by now never taken place. An exhaustive
critical analysis of first-generation electromagnetic insertion systems of weft yarns,
of the type illustrated above, is contained in the publication "
Using electromagnetic force in weft insertion of a loom" (Fibres & Textiles in Eastern
Europe - July/September 2005, Vol. 13, No. 3(51) - pages 67-70), where the author S.A. Mirjalili sets forth the results of a study carried out at
the Textile Engineering Department of the University of Yazd (IRAN), for performing
precisely the launch of a projectile made of a ferromagnetic material through an electromagnetic
device.
[0010] In this publication it is detailed that the supply current of the coil of the electromagnetic
launching device must be switched off when the projectile arrives at a central position
of the coil and would hence begin to be affected by the braking action imparted by
the second half of the coil. As a matter of fact, the stable equilibrium position
of the projectile, if the current was steadily maintained in the coil, would be precisely
in correspondence of a central position thereof, where the projectile would stop following
a fast series of oscillations around such central position.
[0011] Based on this observation and, on the other hand, to be able to achieve a good compromise
between the desired exit speed of the projectile and a good efficiency of use of the
action of the magnetic field, the author suggests that the projectile has a length
equal to 75-125% of the length of the coil.
[0012] However, the study in question ends noting that with this launching device it has
not been possible to achieve projectile speeds comparable with those of mechanically-launched
projectiles.
[0013] A more recent weft insertion device which exploits the electromagnetic force is finally
disclosed in the patent publication
DE-10 2009 019935 of Konrad Hilmar and comprises a loom provided with a single projectile which is
alternatively sent into the shed due to two similar electromagnetic devices arranged
at the two opposite ends of the shed, each of which consists of four adjacent coils.
A microcontroller activates in succession said coils to accelerate or respectively
brake the projectile, based on information relating to the projectile speed and to
the angular coordinates of the main movement of the loom. The way in which the activation
of the coils occurs is not disclosed in detail, but in any case it is clear that it
occurs sequentially as the projectile advances.
[0014] The ratio between projectile length and coil length is not disclosed specifically
here, but from the drawings it appears clearly how it is in the upper values of the
range disclosed by the Mirjalili study illustrated above.
[0015] However, both the solutions proposed by the prior art illustrated above have not
given satisfactory results in practical applications. As a matter of fact, the Mitsubishi
solution, schematically illustrated in fig. 1, has the great disadvantage of imparting
significant attraction forces F only in a small range of relative positions P between
projectile and coil. Despite the fact that the coil has a much greater longitudinal
development than the projectile, the space available for acceleration remains nevertheless
highly limited and this, given a desired final launching speed of the projectile,
implies very high accelerations and forces. Such accelerations and forces require
the use of high currents, with resulting remarkable losses due to the Joule effect
in the coils and hence a very low overall efficiency of the launching system, meant
as kinetic energy of the projectile/electric energy used for the launch of the projectile.
In this solution there are hence also great coil cooling problems, and important mechanical
stresses of the weft furthermore arise.
[0016] Any further coil elongation, illustrated schematically in fig. 2, in any case would
not improve the situation, since the electromagnetic force F imparted on the projectile,
once the projectile finds itself fully within the coil, due to what has already been
stated above, would be null. A greater dissipation would hence be produced, the electromagnetic
force in the useful area being the same, due to the Joule effect in all the other
coil sections not effective for the purposes of projectile acceleration.
[0017] Finally, in the Hilmar solution it is proposed to increase the number of the coils
and to simultaneously reduce the longitudinal dimension thereof to a value remarkably
smaller than the projectile length, so as to limit the losses due to the Joule effect
and to hence improve the efficiency of the system. However, the electromagnetic force
imparted by coils of such modest length is very low and even if the efficiency of
every single coil is higher with respect to the one of the previous solutions, it
is nevertheless not possible to succeed in accelerating the projectile up to interesting
speeds from the point of view of the current industrial applications.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0018] The object of the present invention is therefore to propose an electromagnetic device
for the insertion of weft yarns, in a projectile weaving loom, which is devoid of
the drawbacks mentioned above and hence allows to impart onto the projectile a high
electromagnetic force along a longitudinal area as long as desired, so as to achieve
the desired final speed of the projectile, without incurring the drawbacks described
above of low electric effectiveness of the system and of excessive mechanical strains
on the weft.
[0019] This object is achieved through a weaving loom with an electromagnetic weft yarn
insertion device having the features defined in independent claim 1. Other preferred
features of such a loom are defined in the dependent claims.

fig. 5 illustrates a different embodiment of the electromagnetic weft insertion device
of fig.4, provided with a more sophisticate control of the projectile position.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0021] For a better understanding of the invention, in the diagrams of figures 1 to 3 is
schematically shown the curve of electromagnetic force F imparted on a projectile
by an electromagnetic weft insertion device of a conventional type, such as those
disclosed by documents Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi with further elongated coil and Hilmar,
against the position P of the projectile tip. For greater simplicity in the drawings
only the positive branch of force F is illustrated, since it is clear that upon the
progress of the projectile beyond a central position with respect to the coil, as
described in the Mirjalili document, should the power supply of the coil not be switched
off, an electromagnetic force of opposite sign and identical trend would arise.
[0022] In the lower part of fig. 1 projectile 1 is shown in waiting position in front of
coil 2. When the coil is excited it develops an electromagnetic force F variable on
the projectile depending on the positions P subsequently taken up by the same - as
schematised in the upper part of fig. 1 - which involves a fast increase, from the
starting position up to when the projectile tip arrives in correspondence of the entry
area in the coil, followed by a rather limited range of maximum values, and hence
a sudden drop until returning to zero when the projectile tip is in the proximity
of the exit area from coil 2.
[0023] As already mentioned above, when commenting the publication by S.A. Mirjalili, this
coil arrangement hence allows to impart significant attraction forces only in a limited
range of relative positions between projectile and coil, i.e. in practice only in
a first portion of the coil length. This circumstance causes the remarkable drawbacks
already described above.
[0024] The use of a coil 2 of a greater length, as illustrated in fig. 2, does not change
the shape of the curve of the above-described electromagnetic force F in the part
of initial rise and of maximum peak, but only elongates the descending part of the
curve, in which area the electromagnetic force nevertheless has very low values and
finally null (when the projectile is entirely within the coil); this solution would
hence imply a large worsening of system efficiency.
[0025] On the contrary, the use of a coil, or of a series of coils 2 of a shorter length,
as proposed in the more recent Hilmar document and as illustrated in fig. 3, despite
guaranteeing a greater effectiveness of the device, would proportionally reduce the
maximum peak value of electromagnetic force F and hence would not allow to reach the
desired launching speeds of projectile 1, in the rather limited spaces which can be
made available to a device of this type on-board of a weaving loom.
[0026] In this state of the art, the solution proposed by the present invention, schematically
illustrated in fig. 4, provides to use a plurality of coils 3, arranged consecutively
in series along the launch trajectory of the projectile, each of such coils having
a length which is a preferably integer submultiple
1/n of the length of an optimal coil which allows to obtain, in stationary conditions,
the desired electromagnetic force on a certain projectile 1 minimising the power lost
by the Joule effect in said coil. The length of the above-said optimal coil ranges
between 30% and 70% of the ferromagnetically active length of the projectile, preferably
between 40% and 60% of the ferromagnetically active length of the projectile and even
more preferably it is equal to half of such length. The submultiple
1/n, the value of which determines the length of individual coils 3, can be optimised
depending on constructive and economic parameters, in a field in which the value of
n ranges for example between 2 and 10 and preferably between 3 and 6 and this causes
coils 3 to have as a result a remarkably shorter length than that of projectile 1.
[0027] According to an important feature of the present invention, said reduced-length coils
3 are then sequentially activated in groups 4 of more coils, instead of individually
as in the above-described Hilmar prior art, so as to create on projectile 1 the electromagnetic
attraction effect of a coil of an optimal length, however, without being affected
by the drawbacks typical of the same.
[0028] Moreover, as projectile 1 moves forward, also the position of the group of activated
coils 4 is correspondingly moved forward, by a single coil 3 at a time and hence in
an extremely gradual way, depending on the position reached by projectile 1 and with
such a synchronisation as to always maintain on projectile 1 the maximum electromagnetic
force. The curve of said force F against the position P of projectile 1 hence takes
up the shape schematically represented in the top part of fig. 4 and the system hence
always works in conditions by which electromagnetic attraction force F is obtained
with the maximum efficiency and hence with the smallest energy waste. Fig. 4 shows
an embodiment of the invention in which the submultiple
1/n adopted for the length of coils 3 is 1/3 and wherein the group 4 of simultaneously
activated coils comprises precisely 3 coils, so that each group 4 of simultaneously
activated coils offers the same performances that a coil of optimal length, as defined
above, would have on the projectile.
[0029] From what has been stated above it is clear that, when reducing the value of submultiple
1/n selected for determining the length of coils 3, the curve of the electromagnetic
force F imparted on the projectile changes from a pulsating trend to a more and more
constant trend, in the face of an increasing complication and cost of the device.
A simple optimisation calculation hence allows to define, for each individual device
or type of loom the preferred value for said submultiple in global economic terms.
[0030] In order to adequately control the sequential activation of coils 3, along the launch
trajectory there are provided position sensors 5 arranged between adjacent coils 3.
Due to the reduced length of coils 3 sensors 5 can be arranged at a very close pitch
so that the position control of projectile 1 is particularly effective. Sensors 5,
chosen between one of the number of types available on the market (optical, infrared,
capacitive, induction, etc.) depending on the particular embodiment of the invention,
detect the position of projectile 1 within the electromagnetic weft insertion device
and signal such position, by means of a line 6, to an electronic control CPU. This
CPU receives from the loom control unit a signal 7 of the supply current of the coils
(3) and, depending on the position of projectile 1, activates power stages 8 so as
to supply such current sequentially - moving by a single coil 3 each time - in subsequent
groups of coils 4 so as to simulate at each moment the electromagnetic force of a
coil of optimal length, arranged in the ideal relative position with respect to projectile
1 to be accelerated, i.e., with the projectile tip in the proximity of the entry of
the first coil 3 of each group of coils 4. The above-described electronic management
of reduced-length coils 3 hence allows to accomplish the launch of projectile 1 reducing
to a minimum the energy losses due to the Joule effect in the coils, hence remarkably
containing the disposal problems of the heat thus produced and maximising the overall
effectiveness of the system.
[0031] To the CPU for the management of the sequential activation of the groups of coils
4 a closed-loop control system 10, shown in fig. 5, can furthermore be added. In this
case, instead of the already predefined current reference 7 described above, an external
speed V or position S reference 9 at time t, coming from the loom, arrives to the
control system 10. In other words, such external reference 9 is updated at any instant
by the central control of the loom, depending on the angular position reached by the
same or on a set loom operation time cycle. Such reference signal 9 is compared in
block 11 with the actual position of projectile 1, as detected by sensors 5, and the
current reference 7 sent to the control CPU is suitably modulated to slow down or
accelerate projectile 1 depending on the above-said external reference.
[0032] Closed-loop control 10 hence allows to cause the projectile to follow a set motion
law, hence allowing to equalise the power dissipated by the individual coils 3 while
taking into account the fact that, given the low initial speed of projectile 1, first
coils 3 are activated for a longer time.
[0033] The external reference 9 coming from the loom can finally comprise specific information
on the individual weft being processed each time, so that the motion law of the projectile
can be changed at each loom cycle, depending on the requirements of the particular
weft being inserted.
[0034] With respect to the known electromagnetic devices for projectile launching, the electromagnetic
device of the present invention comprises a number of advantages, among which:
- reduction of the overall costs, both manufacturing costs and running costs;
- high reliability;
- high efficiency;
- reduced mechanical stress of the weft and/or controllable mechanical stress depending
on the weft type;
- control of the projectile acceleration curve;
- reduced use of projectile guiding systems (hooks), source of significant weaving drawbacks,
due to the high launch directionality;
- higher working frequencies with respect to gripper looms. However, it is understood
that the invention must not be considered limited to the special arrangements illustrated
above, which make up only exemplifying embodiments thereof, but that different variants
