摘要:
A warp knitting machine has a main shaft driven by an electric motor which is powered by a main circuit. The machine has at least one supplemental, electrically driven arrangement for influencing the thread takeoff of the machine. This electrically driven arrangement is connected to the main circuit. Also included is an electrically operable brake coupled to the main shaft for braking it in response to interruption of the main circuit.

An arrangement for driving a warp beam employs a stepless adjustable drive (7) whose coupling element (8) is displaced by a setting member (11). The setting member (11) is controlled-by a computer (10) which provides an input arrangement (17) for the take-up of data of a predetermined thread provision (F); as well as data on the machine, the stepless adjustable drive (7) and the beam (3). The data includes a wind variable size (actual wind number w.sub.a), and data characterizing the actual wind circumference (U.sub.a). The computer has a calculating segment (18) and an output (19). With such an arrangement, the coupling element (8) can be brought into the correct target position, even before the start of the machine. The computing means can also serve as part of the control arrangement during the running of the machine.

This invention relates to a warp knitting machine in which the knitting elements and each of the warp beams are driven by separate electric motors, powered from a common electrical network. An electric clutch is included in the drive connection between each warp beam and its electric motor and said clutch is energized by the same electric network which powers the electric motors. The electric clutch is energized when electric current is supplied to it by the network and connects the warp beams with their own electric motors. Whenever the electric current in the network is interrupted, the electric clutch is disengaged.

Method and apparatus to measure an amount of yarn delivered from a warp beam for a knitting machine to periodically trigger a comparison device to compare the theoretical number of courses to the actual number of courses knit from the measured length of yarn to develop an electronic signal which is used to adjust the let-off control of the knitting machine.
摘要:
A yarn runner-length controller for warp beam knitting machines utilizes information of the yarn unwinding rate from a warp beam section and continuously compares this information to a signal related to the desired runner-length of the yarn. This continuous comparison yields an error signal with a magnitude proportional to the difference between the desired runner-length and the actual runner-length. The error signal is sampled and this sampled error signal activates a control device operating on the angular velocity of the warp beam section so as to adjust this velocity in the direction that reduces the difference between the actual runner-length and the desired runner-length. The magnitude of the sampled error signal is reduced to zero before the next sampled error signal is received by means of a signal from the control device related to the amount of adjustment made to the beam section's angular velocity. When the sampled error signal is reduced to zero, the control device maintains the beam section's angular velocity to the last adjusted value. The continued sampling of the error signal thus maintains the actual runner-length to within close tolerances of the desired runner-length throughout the duration of the knitting process.An error display panel indicates any deviation between the actual and desired runner-lengths. A fail-safe module shuts down the knitting machine if the deviation between the actual and desired runner-lengths is greater than a predetermined amount.In addition, data acquisition means are included which can monitor such conditions as actual and desired runner-lengths, error between actual and desired runner-lengths, number of knitting interruptions, and duration of knitting interruptions.

摘要:
A process or apparatus can control thread provision in a warp knitting machine by means of a computer (6). The computer operation involves pattern data (MD) supplied as a sequence of numbers. These numbers are provided to a recognition routine (ER), which for every warp course (line W) determines the lapping type (LA) that should be formed and the shogging distance (SW) prescribed. Tables are stored for providing a thread provision value (FZ) for each combination of lapping type (LA), thread take-off value (WA), and a shogging distance (SW). Based upon (a) the determined lapping type, (b) the inputted fabric take-off value, (c) the inputtable external operating parameters or influences, and (d) the determined shogging distance, the thread provision value for this warp course is read out and utilized for controlling thread provision. An arrangement for the control of the thread provision means of a warp knitting machine (1) will comprise (a) a computer (6), a table storage means (13), (b) a program storage means (11) for a programmed recognition routine, (c) an evaluation device (12) for reading out a table (100 through 107 ), and (d) a control device (5) which by use of the thread provision values read from the tables controls the thread provision.
摘要:
An apparatus for controlling the drive mechanism of the warp beam of a warp knitting machine is disclosed. A pressure roll is carried by a support arm biased toward the warp beam so that the pressure roll engages the warp beam. The pressure roll is operatively connected to a signal generator which emits signals representative of the speed and thus, the amount of yarn withdrawn from the warp beam. A controller receives the generated signals compares the signals to a predetermined knitting machine operating standard. A control signal is generated to the warp beam drive mechanism for controlling the speed of yarn delivery from the warp beam. The control signal is amplified in an amount proportional to the decrease in diameter of the warp beam whereby the control signal is amplified more as the diameter of the warp beam decreases so that the warp beam drive mechanism receives stronger control signals and achieves greater response in warp beam speed control when increased acceleration and deceleration of the warp beam occurs at smaller warp beam diameters.
