Where in textile machinery is the reed used?
2025-04-02
The reed frame plays a crucial role in textile machinery, especially in rapier looms. It primarily controls the movement of warp yarns to form a shed, allowing the weft yarn to pass through smoothly and complete the weaving process.
Specifically, the reed frame is usually installed above or below the rapier loom (depending on the loom's design) and is connected to the loom's shedding system via linkages, wire ropes, or other drive mechanisms. When the loom operates, the shedding system drives the reed frame up and down according to the preset program and weaving requirements.
The reed frame is equipped with heddles or heddle eyes, through which the warp yarns pass and are controlled by the reed frame. When the reed frame rises, it lifts a portion of the warp yarns, forming the front of the shed; when the reed frame descends, another portion of the warp yarns remains in place or descends, forming the rear of the shed. In this way, the shed is formed in the warp layer, providing a passage for the weft yarn.
The design and optimization of the reed frame are crucial to the loom's performance and fabric quality. It needs sufficient rigidity and stability to ensure accurate warp yarn control and clear shed formation. At the same time, the material, structure, and weight of the reed frame should be reasonably selected according to the loom's model, specifications, and weaving requirements to achieve the best weaving effect.
Therefore, the reed frame is one of the core components of the rapier loom; its performance and quality directly affect the loom's operating efficiency, fabric quality, and weaving stability. In textile production, great importance should be attached to the selection, installation, and maintenance of the reed frame to ensure the normal operation of the loom and the high-quality output of the fabric.
