[0002] Preforms with three-dimensional woven structures are resistant to impact, internal corrosion, fatigue, and cracking, and are widely used in the aerospace field. In recent years, with the development of aerospace research in my country, the demand for three-dimensional woven preforms has gradually increased. Traditional three-dimensional weaving equipment has a low degree of mechanization and slow weaving speed. The insertion of radial yarns is further limited by factors such as the weaving space and yarn tension, and can only be done manually, which affects weaving efficiency and cannot guarantee the consistency of preform quality. Currently, there is no effective mechanized method for inserting radial yarns into three-dimensional weaving. Summary of the Invention

[0042] The specific process includes the following steps:

[0043] (1) The yarn-carrying self-propelled moving trolley is located on the yarn-feeding linear guide rail, and the radial yarn is wound on the yarn bobbin of the yarn-carrying self-propelled moving trolley;

[0044] (2) The thread plate driving cylinder 106-1 drives the thread plate fixing seat 104 to move, so that the thread plate 111 is inserted into the gap formed by the adjacent rows of yarns. The thread plate rotating cylinder 109 drives the thread plate 111 to rotate 90 degrees. The thread plate 111 expands the gap between the adjacent rows of yarns to the thread plate width;

[0045] (3) The yarn feeding drive cylinder 106-2 drives the yarn feeding guide rail mounting seat 112 to move, so that the yarn feeding linear guide rail 113 is docked with the yarn receiving linear guide rail 207.

The angle α that the outer ring slider needs to rotate can be determined according to the number of yarn rows; at the same time, the inner ring drive motor 201-4 drives the inner ring gear 201-5 to rotate, and drives the inner ring roller 201-3 to move around the inner ring guide rail 201-1, so that the inner ring slider 201-2 rotates in the same direction by the same angle α;

[0051] (9) The thread plate driving cylinder 106-1 drives the thread plate fixing seat 104 to move, so that the thread plate 111 is inserted into the gap formed by the adjacent rows of yarns. The thread plate rotating cylinder 109 drives the thread plate 111 to rotate 90 degrees. The thread plate 111 expands the gap between the adjacent rows of yarns to increase the width of the thread plate.

[0052] (10) The yarn feeding drive cylinder 106-2 drives the yarn feeding guide rail mounting seat 112 to move, so that the yarn feeding linear guide rail 113 is docked with the yarn receiving linear guide rail 207. At this time, the limit plate 118 is still in the raised state;

[0053] (11) The support plate driving cylinder 205 drives the yarn feeding guide rail support plate 203 to move, so that the yarn feeding guide rail support plate 203 is supported under the yarn feeding linear guide rail 113, thereby preventing the yarn feeding linear guide rail 113 from sagging due to the overhanging length being too long and not being at the same height as the yarn receiving linear guide rail 207, resulting in the yarn carrying self-propelled moving trolley 3 being unable to pass;

[0054] (12) The yarn-carrying self-propelled trolley is driven by a motor to move from the yarn receiving linear guide rail 207 to the yarn feeding linear guide rail 113, and then moves to the top of the outer ring slider 101-2. The radially implanted yarn is collected and released as it moves, maintaining a constant tension.

[0055] (13) The limit plate driving motor 117 rotates 90° so that the limit plate 118 is inserted into the limit bracket 119;

[0056] (14) The yarn feeding drive cylinder 106-2 drives the yarn feeding guide rail mounting seat 112 to move and return to the initial position, the thread plate rotating cylinder 109 is reset, and the thread plate driving cylinder 106-1 drives the thread plate fixing seat 104 to move and return to the initial position; the support plate driving cylinder 205 is reset;

[0057] (15) Repeat steps (2) to (14) until the implantation of a full circle of radial yarn is completed. Figure 6 The figure shows a cross-sectional view of the radial yarn after it has been implanted into a full circle.
