Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of textile engineering, in particular to a low-twist spinning method driven by a spindle or a spun yarn tube. Background Art

[0002] Currently, most textiles on the market are finished with softeners to give them a soft feel. This is not only harmful to human skin but also pollutes the environment. Low-twist yarn, with its soft feel, full body, and low residual torque, is often considered ideal for knitting. Therefore, the most effective method for improving fabric softness is to reduce the yarn twist. However, low-twist yarns also suffer from disadvantages such as frequent ends breakage, low strength, and excessive hairiness, which severely restrict their application. To address these shortcomings of low-twist yarns, false twist devices are often used in spinning. Current false twist devices can be mainly divided into two categories: rotor-type false twist devices (false twist tubes) and friction-type false twist devices. Rotor-type false twist devices, such as those in U.S. Patents US7096655B2 and US6860095B2, consist of a rotor and a transmission mechanism. They generate false twist by rotating the yarn at the same speed. This method is relatively stable but inefficient, making it difficult to piece yarns after yarn breaks. It also requires an external transmission mechanism and consumes a lot of power. Friction-type false twist devices, such as those in CN 1804170A, CN 101643948A, and CN 216514321U, consist of a friction mechanism and a transmission mechanism. The device creates false twist by holding the yarn against the surface of the friction false twist mechanism under tension. The rotation of the false twist mechanism drives the yarn to rotate, creating a false twist. This method offers convenient connection, but requires an external transmission mechanism and consumes significant power. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a low-twist spinning method driven by a spindle or spun yarn tube. Existing false twist devices require an external transmission mechanism, which consumes a lot of power. The present invention connects a twisting disc 1 and a reduction gearbox 2 to the spindle or spun yarn tube, achieving a false twist effect without requiring an external transmission mechanism. Compared to traditional false twist devices, the present invention is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solutions of the present invention are as follows.

[0005] A low-twist spinning method driven by a spindle or a spun yarn tube comprises a twisting disc 1, a reduction gear box 2, and a yarn guide ring 3, characterized in that:

[0006] The spindle or spinning tube is connected to the reduction gearbox 2. After being decelerated by the reduction gearbox 2, it drives the twisting disk 1 to rotate in the same direction as the spindle. Adjusting the reduction gearbox 2 can change the speed of the twisting disk 1. The yarn guide ring 3 is fixed to the spinning frame. The fiber sliver 4 comes into contact with the twisting disk 1 under the action of the yarn guide ring 3. Under the action of friction, the fiber sliver 4 forms a false twist between the front jaw and the twisting disk 1, which increases the strength of the "spinning yarn" at this stage, thereby reducing the number of breakages when spinning low-twist yarn and improving the spinnability of low-twist yarn.

[0007] The method consists of two parts: a spinning device and a spinning process. The spinning device includes a twisting disk 1, a reduction gear box 2, and a yarn guide ring 3. Its characteristic is that the spindle or the spun yarn tube is connected to the reduction gear box 2. After being decelerated by the reduction gear box 2, the twisting disk 1 is driven to rotate in the same direction as the spindle. The speed of the twisting disk 1 can be changed by adjusting the reduction gear box 2. The yarn guide ring 3 is fixed on the spun yarn frame. After passing through the twisting disk 1 and the yarn guide ring 3, the fiber sliver 4 comes into contact with the twisting disk 1. Under the action of friction, the fiber sliver 4 forms a false twist between the front jaw and the twisting disk 1, thereby increasing the strength of the "spun yarn" at this stage and improving the spinnability of the low-twist yarn. At the same time, the device is directly driven by the spindle or the spun yarn tube, without the need for an external transmission device. Compared with other false twist devices, it is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0008] Furthermore, the twisting disk 1 is connected to the reduction gear box 2 and is driven by the reduction gear box 2, and the direction is the same as the spindle; the twisting disk 1 is cylindrical or truncated cone in shape, with an upper bottom radius r1 of 15 to 40 mm, a lower bottom radius r2 of 15 to 40 mm, and a height of 5 to 30 mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the reduction gearbox 2 is directly connected to the spindle or the spinning tube and is driven by it; the reduction ratio of the reduction gearbox 2 is 1 to 10 to 1 to 100; the height of the reduction gearbox 2 is 10 to 80 mm and the width is 5 to 15 mm; the outer shell of the reduction gearbox 2 can be optionally fixed on the spinning frame to increase stability.

[0010] Furthermore, the angle α between the fiber strands and the twisting disk after passing through the twisting disk 1, the yarn guide ring 3 and the wire ring 7 is an acute angle; the vertical distance D1 between the yarn guide hook 3 and the twisting disk 1 is 10 to 80 mm, and the shortest distance d1 from the outer casing of the reduction gearbox 2 is 1 to 9 mm.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0012] The present invention uses the rotation of the spindle or spun yarn tube and the deceleration of the reduction gear box to drive the twisting disk to rotate, and uses the yarn guide ring to make the fiber strands contact the twisting disk, thereby generating false twist through friction rotation. Compared with the traditional false twist method, this method is more convenient to join the yarn after it is broken, and the device does not require an external transmission mechanism, which is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
