Abstract:

In order to improve the operation efficiency of high-speed rapier loom, the complex influence of the joint clearance on the motion output of the spatial-linkage weft insertion mechanism was studied. Kinematic simulation of the mechanism was firstly carried out by using the vector method, and a variety of discontinuous contact force models considering energy dissipation were compared. The Lankarani-Nikravesh modeling method suitable for high-speed rapier loom was selected. Secondly, combining the calculated kinematic parameters of the spatial linkage with the impact force model of the flexible hinge, the dynamic analysis of the output part of the system was carried out by the Newton-Euler method. Combined with specific engineering practice, the dynamic characteristics of the system with different clearances were worked on. Based on the validation of the virtual prototype test data and the output comparison and error analysis with the rigid hinge clearance collision modeling method. The results show that the increase of clearance leads to sharp fluctuation in rapier head acceleration, affecting the smooth pick-up and accurate weft clamping. When the clearance value is 0.5 mm in particular, the peak error of rapier head displacement is reduced by 69.4% by using flexible hinge method, effectively improving the operating accuracy.

Key words: weft insertion mechanism, flexible hinge, penetration depth, contact impact force, rapier loom
