Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an automatic weaving system and method for a 2.5D conical rotating body preform, belonging to the technical field of textile weaving. Background Art

[0002] Advanced textile composites, with their high specific strength and modulus, are widely used in the aerospace sector. 2.5D woven composites, due to their excellent mechanical properties, flexible structural design, and overall near-net-shape capabilities, are the primary material for conical rotating components such as aerospace engine nozzles, radomes, and combustion chamber ducts.

[0003] Currently, there are two ways to prepare 2.5D conical rotor components. One is to prepare a flat piece through traditional 2.5D weaving technology, and then use a specific mold to compound it with a matrix to prepare a conical rotor. However, during the compounding process of this method, the preform will undergo deformations such as torsion and shearing, which will cause the material to have more initial defects and uneven distribution of yarns in the rotor component, resulting in unstable material properties. Another method is to improve the warp feeding mechanism and curling mechanism on the traditional 2.5D loom, weave the 2.5D conical rotor, and then compound it with the matrix to prepare the rotor component.

[0004] However, traditional 2.5D weaving technology uses automatic and semi-automatic methods, which are costly and have unstable product quality. Equipment modification requires a lot of manpower and material resources. In addition, due to the large number of warp yarns required for the 2.5D preform during the weaving process, it is easy to cause problems such as unclear opening and difficulty in controlling yarn tension. As a result, the weaving of 2.5D conical rotating body preforms is difficult and inefficient. Summary of the Invention
