Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a weaving facility such as a weaving factory, and in particular to the layout of equipment in a weaving facility.

(Prior art) Weaving facilities include a weaving room where multiple looms are installed, warping beams supplied to the looms, empty beams recovered from the looms, stocking beams supplied to the looms, and looms. a storage room for storing the wound beam collected from the weaving room; and a storage room between the weaving room and the storage room for supplying the beam to the loom and recovering the beam from the loom. and a passageway for a plurality of beam carriers used to transport said beams.

JP-A-62-184154 discloses a plurality of first passage portions each having a protruding end, each of which extends a passage for the heam carrier close to a location where each loom is installed in the weaving chamber; and a second passage extending close to the storage location of each beam in the storage chamber.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, the beam carrier is sent out from the storage room, passes through the weaving room, and then must be returned to the storage room again. In the conventional passage, one end of the first passage section returns to a free end, so the beam carrier must be reciprocated on the first passage section. Therefore, according to this, when a beam is supplied to the loom as the loom is being hoisted, the first beam carrier that has received the beam from the loom returns from the first passage section to the second passage section. Until then, the second beam carrier loaded with beams to be supplied to the loom is kept on standby on the second passage section, or the second beam carrier loaded with beams to be supplied to the loom is kept on standby until the transfer of the beams from the second beam carrier to the loom is completed. One beam carrier must be kept on standby on the first passage section. In either case, it takes time for one cycle for both beam carriers to leave the storage chamber and return again, which hinders improvement in weaving efficiency. This means that each vertical rise
is particularly noticeable when occurring simultaneously on multiple looms along the path.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a weaving facility with which higher weaving efficiency can be achieved.

(Means for Solving the Problems, Actions and Effects of the Invention) The present invention relates to a weaving facility, and includes a weaving room in which a plurality of looms are installed, a storage room in which a plurality of beams are stored,
A first passage section for a plurality of beam carriers used for transporting the beams between the weaving room and the storage room and extending close to the installation location of each loom; a second passageway extending adjacent to the storage location, said first passageway having an annular shape.

According to the present invention, since the first passage extending close to the installation location of each loom has an annular shape, the beam carrier is advanced from the second passage to the first passage, and It can be returned to the second passage by advancing in one direction over the passage. Therefore, the first beam carrier carrying the beam recovered from the loom and the second beam carrier carrying the beam supplied to the loom can be fed into the first passage section one after another, whereby both the beams One cycle until the carrier leaves the storage chamber and returns again can be shortened.

Even if the heave-up for multiple looms along each first aisle section occurs approximately simultaneously, the multiple first beam carriers and the multiple second beam carriers will It is sufficient to sequentially move the and to the first passage section. Therefore, in this case as well, one cycle of the first and 'fj2 beams is shortened.

The first passage portion may be configured to form an annular shape together with the second passage portion, or the second passage portion may also be configured to form an annular shape in addition to the first passage portion. can.

In addition, a plurality of first passage sections adjacent to each other are provided depending on the number of looms and the area of the weaving room, so that each of the pair of first passage sections has a common part forming an annular shape. Can be configured. Furthermore, a plurality of second passage parts adjacent to each other and a passage part connecting the first and second passage parts are provided, and each of the second passage parts forming a pair is formed into an annular shape and has a common portion. It can be configured to have

(Embodiment) Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a weaving facility 10 according to the present invention includes a weaving room 12 in which a plurality of looms (not shown) are installed, and an empty beam recovered from the looms. A plurality of beams (not shown) such as a warping beam supplied to the loom, a beam on which cloth is wound up recovered from the loom, and a winding beam supplied to the loom are stored. and a storage room 14 for storage.

In the illustrated example, the weaving room 12 has a floor having a rectangular plane as a whole, and a plurality of looms are installed on the floor in rows and columns. A plurality of small vertically elongated rectangles (FIG. 1) and a plurality of small horizontally elongated rectangles (FIG. 2) each indicate an installation location 16 for the loom.

The storage room 14 also has a floor with a rectangular plane. The floor is continuous with the floor of the weaving room 12. Each beam in the storage room 14 is normally connected to a beam carrier (described later) in the storage room 14.
For convenience of loading and unloading the beam to (not shown) and from the beam carrier, it is supported on a pedestal (not shown) mounted on the floor of the storage room 14. The pedestals are also arranged in rows and columns, so that the beams are stored in rows and columns. The location of the pedestal, essentially the storage location of the beam, is indicated by a small horizontally elongated rectangle designated by the numeral 18.

The empty beam collected from each loom or the beam wound with cloth is transported from the nm room 12 to the storage room 14, and the warping beam or winding beam supplied to each loom is transported to the storage room 14. A plurality of e.g. self-propelled beam carriers (not shown) are used for the transport from 14 to the weaving room 12.

Referring to FIG. 1, the floors of the weaving room 12 and storage room 14 are provided with passageways 20 for the beam carriers. The passage 20 includes at least one pair (three pairs in the illustrated example) of first passage sections 2 extending close to the installation location 16 of the loom.
2 to 28 and a second passageway 30 extending adjacent to the beam storage location 18.

Each of the first passage portions 22 to 28 extends in a substantially rectangular shape around a plurality of loom installation locations 16 arranged in two adjacent rows (vertical rows), and forms an annular shape. In addition, the first passage portion 22.24 and the first passage portion 24.2, which form a pair adjacent to the 7Z
6, and the first passage section 26.28 each have a common portion that extends linearly in the longitudinal direction.

The second passage section 30 has a U-shape as a whole and extends laterally between two adjacent rows (horizontal rows) of beam storage locations 18, and further extends from near both ends of the rows to the storage chamber 14 and the weaving chamber. 12 extends linearly in the longitudinal direction and is connected to the common portion 32 of the pair of first passage portions 22.24 and the common portion 34 of the pair of first passage portions 26.28. the result,
The second passage section 30 forms an annular joint with the passage section 24.26 of 'dSf.

Each of the annular first passages 22 to 28 allows the beam carrier to reach each first passage from the second passage 30, travel in each first passage in one direction, and then return to the second passage. Allows return to passage 30. For this reason, the first beam carrier, which has completed the beam transfer with the loom disposed along each first passage section, and the second beam carrier, which has subsequently completed the beam transfer, are moved in the same direction. can be moved sequentially on the same first path. Alternatively, only the second beam carrier can be advanced in the opposite direction.

In order that the beam carrier can move smoothly on the passage 20, each common portion 32, 34 and the second passage part 30 are connected in a straight line, and each of the first passage parts 22-

58, 60, and 62 are provided.

for guiding the beam carrier along the path 20;
For example, a rail (not shown) is laid in the passage 20, and the beam carrier is provided with wheels that can run on the rail. Further, for example, a magnetic material, a light reflective tape, etc. may be attached continuously or intermittently to the passage 20, and on the other hand, a sensor capable of sensing the magnetic force of the magnetic material may be attached to the beam carrier, and a sensor capable of sensing the magnetic force of the magnetic material may emit light toward the light reflective tape. A sensor or the like is attached to detect the reflected light.

Instead of the illustrated example of a plurality of first passage sections 22 to 28, a single first passage section may be provided depending on the number of looms to be installed. In this example and the example shown in FIG. 1, one end of the second passage section 30 can be a free end that does not connect to the first passage section.

Further, the single first passage portion and the second passage portion may jointly form an annular shape. For example, the above! The first passage part of the first passage is a passage part extending sequentially along the lines indicated by numerals 36, 22.32, 46.54 and 40, and the second passage part is an arc-shaped part 36.40. The U-shaped portion 30 may be continuous.

Furthermore, instead of providing a single second passage section, as shown in FIG.

Each second passage portion has a rectangular shape with four arcuate corners. Further, each pair of second passage portions adjacent to each other includes a pair of passage portions 7 extending linearly in the vertical direction also on the short side of the rectangle.
They are connected to each other via 9.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, at least one pair (three pairs in the illustrated example) of annular first passage portions 80 are adjacent to each other in the vertical direction.
．． 82, 84, 86 are provided, each pair of adjacent first passages having a common portion 88, 90, 92. Like the second passage part, each first passage part has a rectangular shape with four arcuate corners, and each pair of first passage parts extends linearly in the longitudinal direction on the short side of the rectangle. They are connected to each other via a pair of extending passages 94.

The first passage section 80 and the second passage section 74 are connected to each other via at least a pair of connection passage sections 96 (in the illustrated example). The connecting passage portion 96 is preferably arcuate in order to ensure smooth course change of the beam carrier.

According to the example shown in FIG. 2
It is possible to move only the beam carrier in the opposite direction.

Thereby, the work of loading and unloading the beams onto the beam carriers associated with supplying the beams into the storage chamber 14 and carrying the beams out of the storage chamber 14 can proceed smoothly and efficiently.
