Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of textile engineering, and particularly relates to a production process of a high-proportion wool blended woven fabric, in particular to a preparation method of a blended fabric with a wool content of 30%. BACKGROUND

[0002] Wool is a natural protein fiber, which is favored for its soft hand feeling, excellent warmth retention and high moisture absorption. However, pure wool products have problems such as pilling, poor dimensional stability, insufficient strength, wrinkle resistance and shape retention, pilling and high production cost. Blending with other fibers can make up for these defects and give the fabric new functional properties.

[0003] At present, the wool proportion in the existing woven fabric wool blended products on the market is often low (usually less than 20%), which is difficult to fully reflect the excellent properties of wool, or the proportion is high (more than 50%), which faces technical problems such as poor spinnability, uneven dyeing, and low production efficiency. Especially at the proportion of 30%, how to balance the properties of wool and other fibers, realize large-scale stable production, and at the same time ensure the high quality of the fabric, has been a technical difficulty in the industry.

[0004] In the prior art, CN106521755A discloses a production process of high-strength worsted wool fabric, but mainly focuses on the mixing of wool and bamboo charcoal polyester and polylactic acid fiber, and the wool proportion is not clear. CN116791250A discloses a semi-worsted production process of wool cashmere bio-based polyamide blended yarn, but focuses on the semi-worsted system and its pretreatment process. These processes have not effectively solved the key technical problems in the production of 30% wool blended fabric. SUMMARY

[0005] (I) Invention purpose

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a production process of high-proportion wool (30%) blended fabric, to solve the technical problems of poor spinnability, uneven strength, dyeing difference and dimensional instability in the production of high-proportion wool blended fabric in the prior art, and to produce high-grade blended fabric which not only retains the excellent properties of wool but also has multiple functional properties.

[0007] (II) Technical solution

[0008] The present application is realized by the following technical solution:

[0009] A production process of high-proportion wool blended woven fabric, characterized in that the content of wool fiber in the blended fabric is 10%-30%, and the production process comprises the following steps in sequence:

[0010] (1) Raw material selection: high-quality shrink-resistant merino wool fibers with fineness≦18.5 μm and length 30-40 mm are selected, and cotton is bleached fiber. It has good softness and spinnability;

[0011] (2) Spinning process: including combing and spinning process; the spinning process adopts compact spinning technology;

[0012] (3) Weaving process: multi-arm weaving is adopted;

[0013] (4) Dyeing and finishing process: double bleaching process is used in bleaching and dyeing, including pretreatment→adding caustic soda and hydrogen peroxide→adding caustic soda whitening agent→washing→adding acid enzyme softener;

[0014] (5) Post-finishing process: singeing desizing→liquid ammonia→dip dyeing→drying→non-ironing→curing→washing→tentering→pre-shrinking.

[0015] Compact spinning technology is adopted to reduce yarn hairiness, improve yarn strength and improve yarn evenness and uniformity. The material yarn is cotton and wool blended yarn, and the wool content is 10%~30%; the process flow of the cotton and wool blended yarn is as follows:

[0016] Cotton fiber treatment: cleaning→carding→pre-drawing→sliver lap drawing→combing sliver→breaking→cotton pretreatment→bleaching→drying→packing;

[0017] Wool treatment: mercerized wool sliver is drawn;

[0018] The treated cotton and mercerized wool fibers are mixed→carding→first drawing→second drawing→roving→spinning→winding.

[0019] Main process flow parameters

[0020] Cleaning: machine type FA002D, adopting two passes of compact cotton sliver and wool scattered hair disc mixing, beater speed 750 r / min, weight: 380 g / m

[0021] Carding: Qingdao FA231, doffer speed 15 r / min, taker-in speed 650~750 r / min, cylinder speed 300~400 r / min, weight: 20 g / 5 m

[0022] First drawing: machine type: Shenyang FA306A, 6 draws, total draft 6.1, back draft 1.8, weight: 20 g / 5 m

[0023] Second drawing: machine type: Rieter RSB-D 24C, 6 draws, total draft 6.3, back draft 1.3, weight: 19 g / 5 m

[0024] Roving: Machine type: Tianjin TJFA458, twist coefficient 90, fixed weight 5.5g / 10m

[0025] Fine yarn: Model: Jingwei FA506 compact spinning machine, twist coefficient 340~390, back draw 1.5, yarn count 30~50.

[0026] Winding machine: Murata NO.21C, machine speed 1000~1300m / min, USTER photoelectric yarn clearer.

[0027] Weaving process:

[0028] The machine is an air-jet multi-arm loom. Traditional looms are mostly plain or twill weaves, resulting in limited product styles and added value. To produce complex weaves, large jacquard weaves are usually required, leading to high costs. Multi-arm weaving breaks through the limitations of simple patterns, achieving complex, three-dimensional fabric structures within limited heald frames, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.

[0029] Weaving parameters: Taking 2 / 2 plain weave as an example

[0030] Temperature: 22-26℃

[0031] Humidity: 70%-75%

[0032] Vehicle speed: 620-680 RPM

[0033] Efficiency: 88%-93%

[0034] Tension: 3000-3200N

[0035] Rear beam: 2.5 meters high, 4 meters deep

[0036] Auxiliary injection pressure: 0.35 MPa

[0037] Weft insertion parameters: Normal settings

[0038] The advantages are high speed and efficiency, fewer defects, avoidance of friction and scratches between the rapier and warp yarns, reduction of debris and abrasion marks, lower weaving defects, and a smooth fabric surface. It utilizes a small opening and high tension combined with high-density reed teeth, resulting in even warp yarn arrangement and a smooth, delicate fabric surface. Air jets can produce wider fabrics than rapier looms. However, it places stringent requirements on the yarn, demanding high abrasion resistance and yarn strength. Air jets can easily disperse the yarn; if the raw yarn has a lot of fuzz and a loose structure, it can lead to a high weft stop rate and a decline in fabric quality.

[0039] Dyeing and finishing processes:

[0040] Perform Huntsman double drift:

[0041] The first step of the process involves adding SA 2g / L and ONE 1g / L at room temperature, and incubating at 60℃ for 20 minutes.

[0042] In the second step, ONE 1g / L is added at room temperature, and the temperature is increased to 60℃ at 1℃ / min. Then, caustic soda 4g / L and hydrogen peroxide 8g / L are added, with a time interval of 5min between the addition of caustic soda and hydrogen peroxide. The temperature is increased to 110℃ at 2.5℃ / min and held for 30min.

[0043] In the third step, add ONE 2g / L to the auxiliary agent at room temperature, heat to 60℃ at 1℃ / min, add caustic soda 3g / L and hydrogen peroxide 8g / L with a time interval of 5min between adding caustic soda and hydrogen peroxide, heat to 110℃ at 2.5℃ / min and keep warm for 30min, then wash with hot water at 80℃×10min, and add acid enzyme at 52.5℃×20min.

[0044] In the finishing process:

[0045] Singeing and desizing: machine speed 100m / min, flame intensity 8, water washing temperature 90-95℃

[0046] Liquid ammonia: Vehicle speed 40-50m / min;

[0047] Rolling speed: 55 m / min, stacking time: 4-6 hours;

[0048] Dyeing speed: 35-40 m / min;

[0049] Drying speed: 70 m / min, temperature 120℃

[0050] No-ironing: Speed ​​m / min, pressure 1.6, drying oven temperature 100~110℃, SF-P: 15g / l, R-PU: 20g / l, WA-M: 1g / l. Baking: Speed ​​50~60m / min, drying oven temperature 140~150℃.

[0051] Water washing: water temperature 40~50℃, machine speed m / min, acid tank pH 3.

[0052] Tensile strength: Pressure 30, machine speed 80m / min, drying oven temperature 130℃, 9106: 20g / l

[0053] Pre-shrinkage: at a speed of 60 m / min, the shrinkage rate is 2% according to GB standards for hanging dry loads.

[0054] Beneficial effects:

[0055] 1. This woven fabric emphasizes innovation in production technology and leverages the advantages of the fabric to achieve a balance between warmth, breathability, moisture absorption, and a soft touch. Specific performance and data: The fabric combines the warmth of wool (like an invisible barrier) with the breathability and moisture-wicking properties of cotton. Its moisture absorption rate is 15% faster than pure cotton, and its breathability is 20% higher than pure wool fabric. It feels soft against the skin, avoiding the itching sensation that pure wool may cause.

[0056] 2. It possesses excellent resilience, wrinkle resistance, and shape retention, making it easy to care for. Specific performance and data: Through optimized post-processing, a balance between crispness and softness is achieved. The garment retains its crispness after washing and is not easily loosened or deformed. After a home machine wash (30℃), the shrinkage rate can be controlled within -2.00 to 2.00, exceeding national standards.

[0057] 3. Specific functions such as down-proofing and high color fastness can be achieved through process design. Specific performance and data: By controlling the spinning process, weaving density, and machine type, the finished product can achieve down-proofing. When using yarn-dyed technology, the yarn's color fastness (wash resistance) can reach level 4-5. Detailed Implementation
