This invention relates to an air jet weaving
machine, which preventes
weft yarn loosing, detwisting and being blown down from wefting
nozzle during weaving
machine halting through using simple structure of the weaving
machine in existence. The weaving machine is stopped, at the state that the
weft yarn wefted just before the weaving machine is about to stop is the by
fiber payoff cutter is
cut, comprising: control device for controlling
weft yarn holding, relieving action of distance measuring and
stocking arrangement, spraying action of wefting
nozzle and
opening action of warp opening device. After the weaving machine stops, the opening device is controlled to make the warp thread at waiting state, and then the hold mode to weft
yarn at the distance measuring and
stocking arrangement isrelieved, and the
compressed air is jetted using the said wefting
nozzle, at last the weft
yarn of the preset length is emitted from the wefting nozzle towards warp. The invention also comprises a starting method of weaving machine. After the above action, a part of the said weft
yarn ejected and extended from the front end of the wefting nozzle is fixed on the
textile, and the ejected weft yarn is installed on the front of the said
fiber payoff cutter.
