Abstract:

To improve the design flexibility and motion performance of the weft insertion mechanism in the rapier looms, a new type of eccentric circular and non-circular planetary gear train weft insertion mechanism was presented in this paper. According to the work requirements of weft insertion mechanism, ideal rapier movement was put forward and a mathematical model for calculating the mechanism parameters from the characteristics of proposed weft insertion motion was established. The reverse design and simulation procedure of the weft insertion mechanism were compiled using MatLab, and the parameter optimization and motion simulation of the weft insertion mechanism were performed to obtain the most suitable mechanism parameters. A three-dimensional model of the weft insertion mechanism was established accordingly, and a virtual prototype kinematic simulation test was carried out using automatic dynamic analysis of mechanical systems (ADAMS). It was revealed that the kinematic curves of the rapier head based on the theoretical calculation and simulation are basically the same, which verifies the correctness of the modeling and analysis of the weft insertion mechanism.

Key words: weft insertion mechanism, planetary gear train, reverse modeling, kinematics simulation, rapier loom
