Title: Weft yarn detecting device in loom
Inventor: MATUI MASAKIYO
IPC: D03D51/00
Filed: 2015-07-15
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent delay in the detection of a weft yarn in a weft yarn detecting device.SOLUTION: Upon weft insertion of a light absorbing black yarn, a light receiving signal Y2 is output. In the light receiving signal Y2, a signal level becomes lower than that in a light receiving signal R of a modified reed due to light absorption by the black yarn. The light receiving signal Y2 is extracted as a high frequency signal F by a low frequency removing filter circuit. In the high frequency signal F, an initial light receiving signal LF is generated on a negative side. The high frequency signal F is amplified and then input to a full-wave rectifying circuit, and a full-wave rectified signal FR is extracted. In the full-wave rectified signal FR, the initial light receiving signal LF which is a negative signal of the high frequency signal F is converted into an initial full-wave rectified signal HR as a positive signal. The full-wave rectified signal FR is compared to a threshold value S in a comparator. The comparator outputs a weft yarn detecting signal D corresponding to the full-wave rectified signal FR larger than the threshold value S, so that the initial light receiving signal LF generated on the negative side is output as an initial weft yarn detecting signal DF without causing delay time.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
