Abstract:

In order to simplify the adjustment process of cloth width in rapier loom, a new design criterion for weft insertion mechanism was proposed by researching the relationship between the rapier position and actions of assistant devices, which means the weft insertion mechanism should be designed with unchanged rapier displacement outside of the shed (assistant displacement) and unchanged rapier position where weft is handed over during the process of adjusting reed width. Based on vector analysis method, the motion equations of a weft insertion mechanism containing a spatial linkage and a planer linkage were derived, and the rapier motion curve was obtained. The influences on rapier motion curve were discussed from sub mechanisms. The result shows that certain weft insertion mechanism exists, and when its original position satisfies a certain condition, regardless of the changes in cloth width, the assistant displacement of rapier stays unchanged. When the guider of point used for adjusting the reed width meets a certain condition, the rapier position where weft is handed over keeps in the same site.

Key words: rapier loom, weft insertion mechanism, cloth width, parameter characteristic
