Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mass driver circuit for weaving looms, and more particularly relates to improvement in construction of a driver circuit for accurate inching operation on weaving looms.
  • the loom When a trouble such as yarn breakage of unsuccessful weft insertion occurs during normal running of a loom, the loom is either manually or automatically stopped and inching operation is performed in order to move the crank to a position suited for work to remove the cause of the trouble and/or weaving defects resulted from such a trouble.
  • One conventional electric circuit for such inching operation includes a push button switch which is given in the form of a manually operable, self-returnable contact so that electric power should be supplied to the drive motor for the loom as long as the push button switch is turned on. That is, the loom is driven for inching operation by turning on the push button switch for prescribed length of period so that the crank should be moved to a desired position.
  • Alternating current motors such as induction or synchronous motors are in general used for drive of looms, and such a drive motor is connected, for rotation, to an electric power source which puts out electric power of commercial frequencies.
  • an electric power source is called “a commercial frequency power source” and will hereinafter be described as “a CF power source”. So, once the CF power source to be used is fixed, the rotation speed of the drive motor per se is unchangeable.
  • transmission ratio has to be changed in the power transmission coupling the drive motor to the crank shaft of the loom. More specifically, diameter of a pulley or pulleys used in the power transmission has to be changed.
  • Such a pole-change type drive motor requires corresponding increase in number of coil windings which is inevitably accompanied with low efficiency. In addition, reduction in number of coils at normal running causes lowering motor efficiency. In order to cover this deficiency, it is necessary to use a drive motor which is able to generate torque large enough to enable proper normal running of the loom. This inevitably connects to large construction of the loom. Further, since this system relies on change in number of poles in the drive motor, it is difficult to vary rotation speed of the loom over a significantly wide range. So, in particualr under high speed running condition, the rotation speed of the drive motor cannot be lowered enough at inching operation. In addition, change in rotation speed of the drive motor can be effected stepwise only, and, as a consequence, rotation speed of the drive motor cannot be adjusted analogously. So, it is difficult to move the crank of the loom always to a correct position at inching operation.
  • looms are divided into several groups depending on, for example, the type of product to be woven and a mass drive system is employed for each group. Under normal condition, only one or two looms in a group require concurrent inching operation. Despite this real condition, the above-described pole-change system requires that every loom should be provided with a switch circuit for pole change. This apparently ends in high installation cost.
  • a low frequency power unit is connected to a given CF power source and the drive motor of each loom is connected selectively to the output line of the CF power source at normal running and to the output line of the low frequency power unit at inching operation of the loom, respectively.
  • This selective connection is typically carried out by electric switching operation.
  • the low frequency power unit will hereinafter be described as "LF power unit", and may include an inverter circuit, a triac circuit or a motor-generator combination circuit.
  • the present invention is advantageously applied to a group of weaving looms controlled by a mass drive system and each loom is, as described already, selectively connected to two sorts of power supply of different frequencies as shown in Fig. 1.
  • a given CF power source 1 has two output lines la and 1b and the one output line 1b is connected to a LF power unit 2 having an output line 2a.
  • power is taken by circuits D1 - Dn via relay a-contacts Rlla - Rnla whereas the output line 2a of the LF power unit 2 is also connectable to the individual driver circuits Dl - Dn but via different relay a-contacts R13 - Rn3a.
  • the individual driver circuits D1 - Dn are electrically connected to drive motors M1 - Mn of the associated loom, respectively.
  • the driver motor is here given in the form of an induction motor and its output shaft is mechanically coupled to the crank shaft of the associates loom by neans of a proper power transmissions.
  • the driver motor is driven fran a threephase alternating electric power source whose output lines are each made up of three wires. In the illustration, however, the three wires are represented by one output line. for simplification purposes.
  • the LF power unit 2 puts out electric power whose frequency is lower than the given commercial frequency and chosen in accordance with the real condition of the inching operation.
  • the other output line la of the CF power source 1 is connected to individual driver power transmission made up of, for example, pulleys and driven for rotation at different speed during normal running and inching operation of the associated loom as later described in more detail.
  • Different drive motors M1 - Mn are accompanied with individual driver circuits Dl - Dn of same construction.
  • One example of the individual driver circuit Dl for the drive motor Ml is shown in Fig. 2, in which the individual driver circuit Dl is connected to a given common electric power source (not shown) by means of output lines 3a and 3b.
  • the individual driver circuit Dl includes three sets of push button switches S11 ⁇ S13 and two sets of relays R11 and R.13 arranged'between the output lines 3a and 3b.
  • the first switch S11 is a normally open switch used for starting the drive motor Ml
  • the.'second switch S12 is a normally closed switch used for stopping the drive motor Ml
  • the third switch S13 is a normally open switch used for the inching operation of the loom.
  • the one terminal of the start switch S11 is connected to the output line 3a via a relay b-contact R13b, which is normally closed, of the relay R13 whereas the other terminal of the start switch S11 is connected to the output line 3b via the relay Rll.
  • the one terminal of the stop switch S12 is connected also to the output line 3a via the relay b-contact R13b whereas the other terminal of the stop switch R12 is connected to the output line 3b via a relay a-contact Rlla', which is normally open, of the relay R11 and the relay Rll.
  • the one terminal of the inching switch S13 is connected to the output line 3a via a relay b-contact Rllb, which is normally closed, of the relay R11 whereas the other terminal of the inching switch S13 is connected to the output line 3b via the relay R13.
  • the relay a-contacts Rlla and Rlla' are closed and the relay b-contact Rllb opens.
  • the relay R13 is activated, the relay a-contact R13a is closed and the relay b-contact R13b opens.
  • Fig. 3 One embodiment of the LF power unit 2 used for the mass driver circuit in accordance with the present invention is shown in Fig. 3, in which the LF power unit 2, i.e. the frequency converter, is given in the form of an inverter.
  • the inverter converts alternating current power into direct current power which is then chopped at a frequency lower than the given commercial .frequency for generation of low frequency electric power.
  • the inverter is accompanied with a control circuit 4 having a frequency setter 5.
  • the control circuit 4 generates on its output lines 4a base drive electric current.
  • V/f voltage-frequency ratio
  • Fig. 4 Another embodiment of the LF power unit 2 in accordance with the present invention is shown in Fig. 4, in which the LF power unit 2 is given in the form of a triac.
  • the triac controls passage of alternating current half waves in order to generate mimic low frequency electric voltage.
  • the triac is accompanied with a control circuit 6 which generates ignition pulses on its output lines 6a.
  • Fig. 5 The other embodiment of the LF power unit 2 in accordance with the present invention is shown in Fig. 5, in which the LF power unit 2 is given in the form of a combination of a motor 7 with a generator 8. More specifically, the motor 7 is connected to the output line la of the CF power source 1 and the output shaft of this motor 7 is mechanically coupled to the generator 8 which is thereby driven for rotation for generation of low frequency elec- .tric voltage.
  • Delta connection is employed for the inching operation in order to lower the input voltage to the frequency conterter below that of the CF power source without lowering the output torque, thereby enhancing voltage resistance of the frequency converter, i.e. the LF power unit.
  • the mass driver circuit in accordance with the present invention operates as follows. Since the operation is quite same for different drive motors Ml - MD, the first drive motor Ml is taken as an example.
  • the circuit assumes the condition shown in Fig. 1. That is, the relay a-contacts Rlla and R13a are both kept open. Further in Fig. 2, the start and inching switches S11 and S13 are kept turned off and stop switch S12 is kept closed.
  • the start switch Sll is turned on. Then the relay R11 is activated and thereby a-contact Rlla is closed so that the drive motor Ml should be connected to the CF power source 1 via the output line la. The drive motor Ml starts rotation in order to initiate running of the loom. Concurrently with this process, activation of the relay R11 closes the relay a-contact Rlla' (see Fig. 2) so that activation of the relay Rll should be retained by self-holding if the start switch Sl is turned off. Activation of the relay Rll further opens the relay b-contact Rllb so that the relay R13 should not be activated even if the inching switch S13 is unexpectedly turned on by error. This condition is shown in Fig. 6A.
  • the stop switch S12 When running of the loom has to be ceased due to occurence of some trouble such as yarn breakage, the stop switch S12is turned on. This is performed either manually or automatically. Then the self-holding for the relay R11 is cancelled and the activation disappears. This deactivation of the relay Rll opens the relay a-contacts Rlla and Rlla' and closes the relay b-contact Rllb so that the entire circuit resumes the condition shown in Fig. 1. The drive motor M1 is now disconnected from the CF power source 1 and stops its rotation in order to cease the running of the loom.
  • the inching switch S13 (see Fig. 2) is turned on under this condition.
  • the relay R13 is thereby activated in order to close the relay a-contact R13a and open the relay b-contact R13b.
  • the drive motor M1 is connected to the LF power unit 2 via the output line 2a and driven for rotation at a speed lower than that for the normal running of the loom as long as the inching switch S13 is kept turned on.
  • This condition is shown in Fig. 6B. Due to the open state of the relay b-contact R13b, the relay R11 should never be activated even when the stop switch S12 is turned on by error during the inching operation.
  • the loom is provisionally driven for inching operation at a speed lower than that for the normal running and the crank can be moved accurately to the desired position by turning on the inching switch for a proper length of period.
  • High rate of frequency conversion at the LF power unit 2 enables further significantly slow rotation of the drive motor so that further accurate positioning of the crank can be attained at inching operation.
  • the inching switch S13 is turned off in order to deactivate the relay R13.
  • This deactivation of the relay S13 opens the relay a-contact R13a and closes the relay b-contact R13b so that the entire circuit should resume the condition shown in Fig. 1 in which the drive motor Ml is disconnected from the LF power unit 2.
  • the loom ceases its inching operation.
  • looms are usually divided into several groups under mass drive condition and, usually, each group con- 'tainsone or two looms which requireconcurrent inching operation. So, no large capacity is required for the LF power unit, i.e. frequency converter, in accordance with the present invention. As a consequence, despite the general high cost of frequency converters on market, only insignificant installation cost is required for application of the present invention. Small capacity of the LF power unit naturally connects to low price and small construction of the entire mass driver circuit. Further, continuous frequency setting at the LF power unit can suffice any delicate requirements in inching operation and extent.
