| description | Wide weaving machines traditionally enhance the weaving width by increasing the shuttle’s initial velocity. However, this approach introduces challenges like pronounced equipment vibration, elevated noise levels, heightened energy consumption, and a reduced lifespan. Moreover, its efficacy in significantly widening fabric is constrained. Addressing these concerns, this paper proposes a wide-width warp insertion solution that involves driving the high-temperature superconducting shuttle to achieve high-speed horizontal flight through a traveling magnetic field. The inductive weft insertion system structure of wide weaving machines comprises an insertion guideway with an iron core and wound electromagnetic coils. The shuttle consists of a high-temperature superconducting block and a conductive plate, serving as the driving element. By establishing the equivalent circuit of the weft insertion guideway and the suspended shuttle, the calculation formula for the dynamic driving performance of the weft insertion guideway is obtained. Utilizing a transient 3D magnetic field simulation model, the impact of parameters like the current frequency, shuttle conductive plate thickness, and suspension gap on weft insertion performance is explored. Successful wide-width weft insertion motion is achieved by controlling coil input current parameters. Finally, an experimental platform is constructed to validate the correctness of the weft insertion system structure and simulation model through practical experiments. |
