Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of air-coated yarns, and particularly to a method for preparing recycled nylon air-coated yarns with whitening. Background Technology
[0002] Driven by increasing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products, recycled nylon fiber has seen further development. As a type of recycled fiber, recycled nylon covered yarn products are relatively limited in variety, mostly concentrated on the production of conventional varieties, far behind the level of domestic polyester factories. Nylon has better hydrophilicity, abrasion resistance, and colorfastness than polyester, making it more suitable for use in close-fitting clothing. To expand product diversity, two-tone products are an important development direction.
[0003] Currently, to achieve the dual-color function, polyester and nylon are usually used as two different raw materials. Specifically, the two-color effect after dyeing is obtained by false twisting the two raw materials with different properties. The biggest drawbacks of this technology are: (1) the spinning of dual-color yarn is poor and the cost of using conventional POY is relatively high and it does not have environmental protection attributes; (2) achieving dual-color requires a combination of two raw materials, which are basically filaments, and the fineness and elasticity of the product are limited; (3) the limited elasticity is not conducive to reducing the cost of subsequent production and product development. Based on these shortcomings, and in order to meet market demand, reduce production costs, increase profit growth points, improve product competitiveness and economic benefits, it is necessary to develop a new method for preparing recycled nylon floating white air-coated yarn that can achieve dual-color function.
[0004] In the process of developing and designing two-color yarns, there are corresponding shortcomings in spinnability and the performance of two colors. In particular, when using recycled nylon materials, the contrast effect of two colors is not obvious and the color difference is not significant, resulting in insufficient performance of two colors. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the current two-color fabrics that are usually made of polyester and nylon, and to provide a method for preparing recycled nylon air-coated yarn.
[0006] Specifically, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for preparing recycled nylon air-coated yarn includes the following steps:
[0008] (1) Recycled nylon POY filaments are prepared by spinning recycled environmentally friendly chip raw materials; specifically including:
[0009] Spinning: The diced raw material is fully melted and homogenized using a German Barmag screw extruder. The temperature of each section of the screw extruder is set between 255-280℃, and the screw pressure is 115~125 kg / cm². 2 The screw speed is 40~45 r / min, and the melt spinning temperature is 255~268℃;
[0010] Side-blowing cooling: air temperature 20-28℃, humidity 90-95%, air velocity 0.5-0.55m / s;
[0011] Oiling and bundling: The fibers cooled by side blowing are oiled and bundled through the oil nozzle; the oiling agent used is 8% nylon oiling agent pure water emulsion;
[0012] Winding: The oiled filament bundle passes through the pre-networker, guide disc, and main networker to the winding, with a winding speed of 4100-4200m / min, to obtain a stable quality recycled nylon POY filament.
[0013] (2) The prepared recycled nylon POY filaments are subjected to different stretching treatments in a regular manner on an air-packing machine, so that they have multiple segments of different crystals on the same filament; and the specific parameters of the air-packing machine for spandex are as follows:
[0014] The machine speed is 600 m / min, the draw ratio DR of recycled nylon POY filament is 1.22-1.35, the ratio of false twister speed to nylon POY filament running speed DY is 1.6-1.65, the temperature of the hot box when the nylon POY filament passes through the hot box is 175-180℃, the false twister is 1-5-1, the spandex draw ratio is 3.5, and the network pressure is 4.3.
[0015] Preferably, the recycled environmentally friendly chip raw material is prepared from a modified blend, which includes a recycled polyamide base material and a modified masterbatch; the percentage of the recycled polyamide base material is 91-98%, and the percentage of the modified masterbatch is 2-9%; the recycled polyamide base material is prepared from recycled polyamide, and the modified masterbatch includes the following components by weight: 50 parts of polyamide base material, 5-10 parts of bismuth nitrate, 1-3 parts of yttrium oxide, 5-8 parts of nano titanium dioxide, and 2-5 parts of other additives.
[0016] Because this variety has high requirements for fiber raw materials, the spinnability of recycled nylon needs to be studied during spinning. To facilitate the production of recycled whitened nylon-spandex coated yarn, the raw material for POY production must be reselected as recycled environmentally friendly chips. Therefore, considering the characteristics of recycled environmentally friendly chips, special improvements to the raw materials are necessary. Simultaneously, based on the whitening properties of recycled environmentally friendly chips, their formulation needs to be adjusted accordingly.
[0017] On the other hand, adjustments to the specific processes are also necessary.
[0018] The modified masterbatch used above aims to modify recycled polyamide, improving its spinnability and enhancing the crystallization sensitivity of recycled nylon POY by adding bismuth nitrate and yttrium oxide, thereby further improving the differentiation of whitening. Bismuth nitrate, under light, not only exhibits a photocatalytic effect but also improves the crystallization state of filaments, thus improving the color performance of the fabric. Yttrium oxide improves the dyeing performance of filaments with segmented crystallinity; that is, it improves the adsorption sensitivity of dyes to different degrees of crystallinity, thereby widening the absorption differences of dyes, increasing color differences, and making the whitening effect more pronounced.
[0019] As a preferred option, the empty package integrated machine has different stretching patterns in a regular manner, which is achieved in the following way:
[0020] A grooved roller for adjusting recycled nylon POY filament is set on the empty packaging machine. At the same time, a shift fork device is set to fit and separate the recycled nylon POY filament from the grooved roller. The shift fork device achieves the fit and separation of the recycled nylon POY filament from the grooved part of the grooved roller at a certain reciprocating oscillation frequency.
[0021] Preferably, the grooved roller has one half of its circumferential side surface designated as a reserved area and the other half as a grooved area, with a number of grooved notches spaced apart along the circumferential side surface of the roller in the grooved area.
[0022] When the shifting fork device moves the recycled nylon POY filament into the groove area of the groove roller, part of the recycled nylon POY filament is in contact with the peripheral side of the groove roller, and part of the recycled nylon POY filament is in the groove gap and thus separates from the peripheral side of the groove roller; thus forming an intermittent contact between the recycled nylon POY filament and the roller.
[0023] When the shifting fork device moves the recycled nylon POY filament into the retention area of the grooved roller, the nylon POY filament comes into contact with the peripheral side of the grooved roller.
[0024] Recycled nylon (POY) is oscillating via a fork mechanism, causing the yarn to sometimes enter the grooved area of the grooved rollers, where the yarn is not drawn or has minimal draw, and sometimes undergoes excessive draw on the surface of the ungrooved retention area. The same recycled nylon POY yarn exhibits significant differences in draw between passing through the grooves and not passing through them. This excessive draw results in high crystallinity and molecular weight. After dyeing, the higher crystallinity and molecular weight lead to less dye absorption, creating a whitening effect.
[0025] Preferably, the reciprocating oscillation frequency of the shift fork device for recycled nylon POY filament is 10 times / minute.
[0026] As a preferred option, the screw extruder adopts a multi-stage temperature setting, specifically a five-stage heating method. The extruder is divided into five sections from the inlet to the outlet, with the length ratio of the five sections being 1:2:2:3:1. The temperatures of each section are as follows: Section 1 255-260℃, Section 2 265-270℃, Section 3 275-280℃, Section 4 265-270℃, and Section 5 260-270℃.
[0027] Ideally, the oiling rate should be 2-2.5%.
[0028] This invention utilizes a fork-like device. The principle is that during the texturing and drafting process of nylon POY, the nylon POY oscillates back and forth via the fork device. This causes the nylon POY to sometimes enter the grooved rollers without being drafted, and at other times to achieve super-drafting on the ungrooved surface. The amplitude and frequency of the oscillation are controlled by a PLC. Thus, the same nylon POY exhibits significant variations in drafting when passing through grooves and not through grooves. Super-drafting results in high crystallinity and molecular weight. After dyeing, due to the higher crystallinity and molecular weight, less dye is absorbed, creating a whitening effect.
[0029] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0030] Using recycled and environmentally friendly chips as raw materials, the nylon-ammonia air-coated yarn can not only meet the needs of weaving and clothing, but also protect the environment and prevent the over-exploitation of the earth's fossil resources.
[0031] By modifying the texturing machine, the problem of different dyeing sections appearing on a single yarn was solved, enabling the fabric woven in the later stage to have a two-color floating white effect.
[0032] The prepared recycled white-coated yarn can be fed into the circular knitting machine in one go, and the product solves the problem of needing to add spandex separately for the two-color elastic fabric of the circular knitting machine.
[0033] The successful development of recycled white-coated yarn has given consumers and downstream garment manufacturers more choices for environmentally friendly colored products, increasing the market share of recycled environmentally friendly fibers. Detailed Implementation

[0050] When the shifting fork device moves the recycled nylon POY filament into the retention area of the grooved roller, the nylon POY filament comes into contact with the peripheral side of the grooved roller.
