In addition, the thread brake comprises an electromagnet and a rotatable or tiltable lever, which is movable by means of the electromagnet, and which is operatively connected to the brake band to exert a train in the longitudinal direction of the brake band and apply the same for braking the weft thread to the brake body or press , In an advantageous embodiment, the thread brake comprises two or more brake body and in a further advantageous embodiment of the or the brake body are provided with a rounded shape and / or formed as a passive braking elements.
Das Bremsband kann an einer ersten Befestigungsstelle, beispielsweise auf einer Seite des Bremsbandes, fest oder elastisch mit einer Halterung verbunden sein und in Längsrichtung beabstandet davon, beispielsweise auf der anderen Seite, fest oder elastisch mit dem Hebel. In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform umfasst die Fadenbremse ein Federelement zum Lüften der Fadenbremse, beispielsweise eine Zug- oder Druckfeder, die auf den Hebel wirkt und/oder eine Schenkelfeder im Drehpunkt des Hebels. Wahlweise kann auch das Bremsband mit einer Vorspannung versehen sein, so dass es als Federelement zum Lüften der Fadenbremse wirksam ist.The brake band can be fixedly or elastically connected to a holder at a first fastening point, for example on one side of the brake band, and fixed in the longitudinal direction thereof, for example on the other side, firmly or elastically with the lever. In an advantageous embodiment, the thread brake comprises a spring element for releasing the thread brake, for example a tension or compression spring, which acts on the lever and / or a leg spring in the pivot point of the lever. Optionally, the brake band may be provided with a bias, so that it is effective as a spring element for releasing the thread brake.
Wahlweise ist der Hebel gerade oder abgewinkelt ausgebildet. Der Drehpunkt des Hebels kann beispielsweise zwischen dem Bremsband und dem Elektromagneten angeordnet sein oder einseitig auf der Seite des Bremsbandes oder des Elektromagneten. In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsvariante ist der Hebel im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig zum Bremsband angeordnet.Optionally, the lever is formed straight or angled. The pivot point of the lever may for example be arranged between the brake band and the electromagnet or on one side of the side of the Brake band or the electromagnet. In an advantageous embodiment, the lever is arranged substantially at right angles to the brake band.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist am Hebel ein Anker des Elektromagneten, welcher Anker einen ferromagnetischen oder permanentmagnetischen Werkstoff enthält, vorgesehen, beispielsweise indem der Hebel oder ein Teil desselben als Anker ausgebildet ist. Bei Bedarf kann die Fadenbremse mindestens einen zweiten Elektromagneten umfassen, mittels welchem der Hebel und/oder das Bremsband bewegbar sind, und welcher beispielsweise als Lüftermagnet und/oder als Unterstützung des ersten Elektromagneten eingesetzt werden kann. In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist der Elektromagnet einen U-förmigen Kern auf oder der Elektromagnet ist als Topfmagnet ausgebildet, wobei das magnetische Feld durch den Anker verläuft.In an advantageous embodiment, an armature of the electromagnet, which armature contains a ferromagnetic or permanent magnetic material, is provided on the lever, for example by the lever or a part thereof being designed as an armature. If necessary, the thread brake may comprise at least a second electromagnet, by means of which the lever and / or the brake band are movable, and which may be used for example as a fan magnet and / or as a support of the first electromagnet. In a further advantageous embodiment, the electromagnet has a U-shaped core or the electromagnet is designed as a pot magnet, wherein the magnetic field passes through the armature.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist zwischen dem Anker und dem beziehungsweise den Elektromagneten während dem Bremsen ein Luftspalt vorgesehen. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, die Bremskraft während dem Bremsen über den durch den Elektromagneten fliessenden Strom einzustellen.In a further advantageous embodiment, an air gap is provided between the armature and the or the electromagnet during braking.

Weiter umfasst die Erfindung eine Webmaschine mit mindestens einer Fadenbremse gemäss einer der oben beschriebenen Ausführungsformen.Furthermore, the invention comprises a weaving machine with at least one thread brake according to one of the embodiments described above.
Die erfindungsgemässe Fadenbremse ist eine reaktionsschnelle Fadenbremse, die besonders für schnell laufende Webmaschinen mit Schusseintragszahlen von beispielsweise 500 Schuss/min. und höher geeignet ist. Die Wege der bewegten Teile können klein gehalten werden, beispielsweise 1 mm oder darunter, so dass die erzielbare Reaktionszeit unter 10 ms liegt. Weiter ist es möglich, die Bremskraft während dem Bremsen über den durch den Elektromagneten fliessenden Strom zu steuern, wobei die Bremskraft nahezu proportional zum Strom ist. D.h. die erfindungsgemässe Fadenbremse ermöglicht eine Bremsregelung auf Grund von aktuell ermittelten Schussdaten, insbesondere auch bei schnell laufenden Webmaschinen. Vorteilhaft ist auch der grosse einstellbare Bremskraftbereich, der den Einsatz in praktisch dem gesamten Garnspektrum von feinen bis groben Garnen erlaubt. Darüber hinaus verfügt die erfindungsgemässe Fadenbremse über einen nützlichen Selbstreinigungseffekt, wenn das Bremsband 1 bis 2 mm gelüftet wird, so dass das Bremsbad bei Bremseinsatz gegen den Bremskörper klatscht. Ein weiterer Vorteil sind die vergleichsweise günstigen Herstellungskosten der beschriebenen Fadenbremse und die einfache und kostengünstige Ansteuerung.The yarn brake according to the invention is a fast-acting yarn brake, which is particularly suitable for high-speed weaving machines with weft insertion numbers of, for example, 500 weft / min. and higher. The paths of the moving parts can be kept small, for example, 1 mm or less, so that the achievable reaction time is less than 10 ms. Further, it is possible to control the braking force during braking via the current flowing through the electromagnet, wherein the braking force is almost proportional to the current. That is to say, the thread brake according to the invention makes possible a braking control on the basis of currently determined weft data, in particular even in high-speed weaving machines. Also advantageous is the large adjustable Braking force range that allows use in virtually the entire yarn spectrum of fine to coarse yarns. In addition, the thread brake according to the invention has a useful self-cleaning effect when the
