Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of textile technology, and in particular to a three-dimensional braided fabric based on triaxial distribution and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Conventional braiding, an ancient fiber processing method, has evolved into a variety of braided structures, which are now widely used in daily life. With the demand for high-speed production and energy conservation and emission reduction across various industries, the integration of braiding processing methods with high-performance fibers, particularly high-strength and high-modulus materials such as aramid, carbon fiber, and high-strength and high-modulus polyethylene, has brought new development opportunities to the braiding industry. High-performance fiber braids offer advantages such as lightweight, high strength and high modulus, and strong designability, making them widely used in various engineering fields. For example, in the marine equipment field, high-performance fiber braids can be used to manufacture lightweight hull structures and marine equipment, improving ship performance and fuel efficiency. In the power construction field, high-performance fiber braids can be used to manufacture insulation materials for power lines and protective covers for power equipment, enhancing the safety and reliability of power systems. Therefore, the appropriate braiding structure for high-performance fiber braids under different operating conditions is crucial to meeting the needs of various engineering fields. They have a wide range of applications and promising development prospects. With continuous technological advancement and innovation, high-performance fiber braids will continue to play an important role in various fields, bringing greater convenience and benefits to people's lives and work.

[0003] Currently, longitudinal and transverse braiding and rotary braiding are the primary methods for producing braided fabrics. The longitudinal and transverse braiding method typically utilizes a four-step or multi-step braiding process. Rotary braiding can be used in two-step, four-step, or multi-step processes to produce three-dimensional braids, as well as two-dimensional braids. These methods are suitable for producing braids with rectangular, circular, and irregular cross-sections, and are generally well-suited to engineering needs.

[0004] However, the above methods have the following drawbacks: For example, in the four-step method, the yarns are woven back and forth from the inside to the outside, and friction or cutting on the outer surface of the preform will cause the structure to disintegrate. The weaving speed is slow, and complex mechanical devices are required to implement it. The actuator moves in a discrete manner. The outer layer of the cylindrical reinforcement woven by the four-step method also has a "rattan twist" effect, which affects the conversion rate of the fiber strength of the material. The special-shaped cross-section material formed by the four-step method cannot form a stable structure with three yarns distributed equidistantly because the yarns are arranged in both the vertical and horizontal directions during weaving. This produces uneven internal stress and causes potential deformation of the reinforcement material. The two-step method braided material has large gaps and a low fiber volume ratio, resulting in insufficient contribution of the braided yarn to the axial strength of the material. In addition, when using the rotary braiding method to produce double-braided and multi-braided ropes, the structure has interfaces between layers, which also affects the performance of the braided fabric. Therefore, it is of great significance to research and develop more advantageous braided fabric structures and braiding methods. Summary of the Invention

[0028] 1. The three-dimensional braided fabric based on triaxial distribution provided in the present application is a special braided structure, in which the axes of the braided yarns are arranged in the form of an equilateral triangle with three yarns. The interweaving density between the yarns is high, and the structure of the braided fabric is tighter. This arrangement helps to increase the fiber volume ratio of the material, making it more able to withstand external stress and load; in addition, the structural stability of the three-dimensional braided fabric with triaxial distribution is also improved. Due to the arrangement of the yarns, the fiber volume inside the material is relatively high, which means that more fibers can be used to support and stabilize the entire structure, and it has good tensile, compression and bending resistance. This high fiber volume ratio makes the material's potential energy for deformation smaller, thereby making the entire structure more stable.

The uniformity of the yarn arrangement of the three-dimensional braided fabric based on triaxial distribution provided by the present application prevents the resulting fabric from having a "rattan twist" effect. The rattan twist effect, that is, the yarns in the fabric are twisted or improperly interwoven, will affect the uniformity and strength conversion rate of the fabric, making the appearance of the fabric uneven or wrinkled. Therefore, by maintaining the uniformity of the yarn arrangement, the fiber axial orientation and the fiber strength conversion rate of the braided fabric can be improved, and the resulting braided fabric usually has higher product quality and lightweight characteristics.

[0030] 3. The three-dimensional braided fabric based on triaxial distribution provided by the present application has high specific strength and specific stiffness, high fiber orientation and yarns are distributed in an equilateral stable state of three yarns. This layout of the yarns achieves a balanced force distribution between the yarns, helps to enhance the strength and high durability of the fabric, and makes the axial strength of the fabric reach the extreme value of the braided fabric woven with all yarns.

[0058] Step S8, repeat steps S2 to S7 several times to make the yarns weave together and move in a plane. At the same time, the braided yarns are continuously pulled along the Z axis by the pulling mechanism and leave the braiding area, eventually forming a three-dimensional braided fabric based on triaxial distribution.

[0059] Specifically, in step S1, determining the type of yarn carrier includes: using two types of yarn carriers during the weaving process, namely, a main yarn carrier and a diverting yarn carrier, each yarn carrier carrying a knitting yarn.

The direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane is the y-axis and the center point is point o. The main yarn carriers evenly arrange 2m-1 yarns on the y-axis to form the main arrangement axis on the y-axis.

[0067] Specifically, taking the creation of a hexagonal three-dimensional braided fabric with a side length of m as an example, first determine the initial position of the main yarn carrier, refer to Figure 3 , 37 main yarn carriers (grey parts in the figure) are distributed on the three axes with an angle of 60 degrees as follows: with point o as the center, 7 main yarn carriers are arranged on the y axis, and 6, 5 and 4 main yarn carriers are arranged on the left and right sides of the y axis respectively, and the y axis is formed accordingly. 60° Axis, y -60° Arrangement of the main yarn carrier in the two directions of the axis. Further, the 12 steering yarn carriers (white parts in the figure) on the periphery of the main yarn carrier are arranged as follows: the first steering yarn carrier is arranged along the Y axis above the main yarn carrier, and then a steering yarn carrier is arranged in sequence with one yarn carrier position in the clockwise direction, and 6 steering yarn carriers are arranged in this direction; then, a steering yarn carrier is arranged counterclockwise with one yarn position adjacent to the left yarn position of the yarn carrier arranged above the y axis, and 6 steering yarn carriers are also arranged in the reverse direction. The total number of steering yarn carriers is 12, which can realize the required steering function. After meeting the above conditions, perform the following specific steps:

[0068] Step 1: Move the -60° All yarn carriers on the axis move one yarn carrier position to the lower left, such as Figure 3 As shown in the direction of the arrow, Figure 4 The arrangement diagram of the yarn carrier shown;

[0069] Step 2: Move the60° axis and y 60° The yarn carriers on the even numbered rows on both sides of the axis move upward to the left, and at the same time 60° The yarn carriers on the odd-numbered columns on both sides of the axis move one yarn carrier position to the lower right, such as Figure 4 As shown in the direction of the arrow, Figure 5 The arrangement diagram of the yarn carrier shown;

[0070] Step 3: Move the yarn carriers on the y-axis and the even-numbered columns on both sides of the y-axis downward by one yarn carrier position, and move the yarn carriers on the odd-numbered columns on both sides of the y-axis upward by one yarn carrier position, as shown in the following figure. Figure 5 Move in the direction of the arrow to form Figure 6 The arrangement diagram of the yarn carrier shown;

[0071] Step 4: Move the -60° axis and y -60° The yarn carriers on the even numbered columns on both sides of the axis move one yarn carrier position to the upper right, and at the same time -60° The yarn carriers on the odd-numbered columns on both sides of the axis move one yarn carrier position to the lower left, such as Figure 6 As shown in the direction of the arrow, Figure 7 The yarn carrier arrangement diagram shown in ;

[0072] Step 5: Move the yarn carrier on the y-axis upward by one yarn carrier position, as shown in the following example: Figure 7 As shown in the direction of the arrow, Figure 8 The arrangement diagram of the yarn carrier shown;

[0073] Step 6: Place the 60° The yarn carrier on the shaft moves one yarn carrier position to the lower right, that is, returns to the initial position, such as Figure 8 As shown in the direction of the arrow;

[0074] The yarn carrier performs a cyclic motion by continuously repeating the above steps, realizing the planar motion of the yarns weaving each other. During this planar motion, the braided yarn is continuously pulled along the Z axis by the pulling mechanism and leaves the braiding area, eventually forming a three-dimensional braided fabric with a three-axial distribution. The three-dimensional simulation diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 1 shown.

[0075] To sum up, on the one hand, the three-dimensional braid based on triaxial distribution provided by the present application is a special braided structure, the axis of the braided yarn is arranged in the form of an equilateral triangle with three yarns, the interweaving density between the yarns is high, and the structure of the braid is tighter. This arrangement helps to increase the fiber volume ratio of the material, making it more able to withstand external stress and load; in addition, the structural stability of the three-dimensional braid with triaxial distribution is also improved. Due to the arrangement of the yarns, the fiber volume inside the material is relatively high, which means that more fibers can be used to support and stabilize the entire structure, and it has good tensile, compression and bending resistance. This high fiber volume ratio makes the material's potential energy for deformation smaller, thereby making the entire structure more stable. On the other hand, the uniformity of the yarn arrangement of the three-dimensional braided fabric based on triaxial distribution provided by the present application prevents the resulting fabric from having a "rattan twist" effect. The rattan twist effect, that is, the yarns in the fabric are twisted or improperly interwoven, will affect the uniformity and strength conversion rate of the fabric, making the fabric appearance uneven or wrinkled. Therefore, by maintaining the uniformity of the yarn arrangement, the fiber axial orientation and the fiber strength conversion rate of the braided fabric can be improved, and the braided fabric produced generally has higher product quality and lightweight characteristics. On the other hand, the three-dimensional braided fabric based on triaxial distribution provided by the present application has high specific strength and specific stiffness, high fiber orientation and yarns are distributed in an equilateral stable state of three yarns. This layout of the yarns achieves a balanced force distribution between the yarns, helps to enhance the strength and high durability of the fabric, and makes the axial strength of the fabric reach the extreme value of a braided fabric woven with all yarns.

[0076] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
