Addressing the inefficiencies,high power consumption,impact,and noise issues inherent in traditional gripper loom mechanical shuttle throwing and weft insertion,this paper proposes a novel track-type electromagnetic shuttle throwing solution.It introduces the principles of track-type electromagnetic launch technology for shuttle throwing,designs the mechanical structure of the electromagnetic shuttle throwing device for gripper looms,conducts dynamic analysis of the shuttle throwing process,and establishes a virtual three-dimensional model of the shuttle throwing device.Through finite element simulation analysis of the electromagnetic force and weft insertion speed experienced by the gripper loom,the feasibility of the track-type electromagnetic shuttle throwing and weft insertion method is validated,providing a technical reference for the innovative development of modern gripper looms.
