[0002] In the traditional process of weaving colored fabric, dyed yarns are usually used for weaving. This method consumes a large amount of water resources, and the yarn dyeing has a certain production cycle, which will prolong the time required for sample production, and the length is usually difficult to match the demand for accurate adjustment, which may cause material waste and cost increase.

[0003] COLOREEL inkjet printed yarn has the characteristics of environmental protection and no pollution, and can print a variety of colors and complex gradient colors on a white yarn. At the same time, the inkjet printing can accurately control the color length of the yarn, and can realize printing according to the specific length and color, which not only improves the speed of sample production, but also saves raw materials and costs; and can provide new color and pattern design possibilities on the woven fabric.

[0004] Because in the process involving weft yarn weaving, the printing speed of the yarn lags behind the feeding speed of the loom, taking a loom with an effective width of 160 cm as an example, even if the loom speed is adjusted to 100 rpm, the weft length per minute is still about 170 m.

[0031] Some embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0032] As described in the background, the current emergence of COLOREEL inkjet printing yarns replaces traditional yarn dyeing. When the inkjet printing device is applied to weft yarns, the yarn feeding speed of the shuttle loom is about 100 revolutions per minute, and the effective weaving range of the shuttle loom is about 1.7-2.5 meters. The printing yarn speed of the inkjet printing device cannot keep up with the yarn feeding speed of the shuttle loom, and the inkjet printing and the shuttle cannot be synchronized and printed online.

[0033] In order to solve the above problems, the present application creatively proposes a textile system, a yarn storage device and a textile method. Each printing device corresponds to a yarn storage device. When the weaving device does not need to feed the yarn, the yarn storage device and the printing device are synchronized to store the yarn printed by the printing device. When the weaving device needs to feed the yarn, the printing device continues to print, and the yarn storage device keeps the yarn stored in the printing device connected to the printing device without interruption, so as to balance the printing speed and the weft feeding speed of the weaving device.

[0034] The present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0035] Specifically, the present application provides a textile system, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , comprising: at least one printing device 1, each printing device 1 being configured to print and dye yarns to form dyed yarns.

[0036] Weaving device 2, configured to pull the dyed yarns for weaving.

[0037] At least one yarn storage device 3, each yarn storage device 3 corresponding to one printing device 1, configured to store the dyed yarns printed by the corresponding printing device 1, and send the yarns to the weaving device 2 when the weaving device 2 needs to feed the yarns while the printing device 1 continues to print and keeps connected without interruption.

[0038] A printing device 1 can include one or more printers to print a color, and the printers can use existing COLOREEL dyeing machines. One printing device prints a white thread, and the white thread is fully colored by spraying dye through hundreds of micro nozzles 360°. The printed yarn meets the color fastness requirements and has no color white dead angle.

[0039] The weaving device 2 can use a device that uses warp and weft yarns to interweave, including a shuttle loom that uses shuttle weaving, or a shuttleless loom that uses shuttleless weaving. However, whether it is a shuttle loom or a shuttleless loom, the warp and weft yarns are interwoven to manufacture the fabric. The warp yarn refers to the yarn parallel to the length direction of the fabric, which is usually tensioned vertically on the loom to form the framework of the fabric and provide tension and basic structure for the fabric. The weft yarn, also known as the weft yarn, is a yarn parallel to the width direction of the fabric and arranged horizontally. The weft yarn weaves between the warp yarns and interweaves above and below the warp yarns to form the fabric structure. The warp and weft yarns can be colorless or colored, and the corresponding color yarns are selected according to the color requirements of the pattern to be woven into the loom.

[0040] For example, when the weaving device 2 uses a shuttle loom, the shuttle loom uses a shuttle as a yarn feeder to introduce the yarn into the shed. When the weaving device 2 needs to weave, the yarn storage device 3 corresponding to the yarn of the required color pulls the stored yarn to the shuttle of the loom. For example, when the weaving device 2 uses a shuttleless loom, such as a rapier loom, which uses double rapiers to pull the yarn through the shed. The yarn storage device 3 corresponding to the yarn of the required color pulls the stored yarn to the rapier of the loom. The feeding rapier introduces the yarn from the yarn storage device 3 to the middle of the shed, and the opposite connecting rapier introduces the yarn out of the shed.

[0041] A yarn storage device 3 can include multiple yarn storage devices for storing yarn of a color to supply yarn to the weaving device 2.

[0042] Each printing device 1 is equipped with a yarn storage device 3, which stores each yarn after dyeing by the printing device 1, and supplies yarn to the weaving device 2 when needed by the weaving device 2, while the printing device 1 continues to print and remains connected and uninterrupted. The yarn storage device 3 realizes the synchronous operation of the printing device 1 and the weaving device 2 by pre-storing the dyed yarn.

[0043] Since the yarn colors required by the weaving device 2 to weave different patterns are different, colored dyed yarns can be required, and white yarns without dyeing can also be required, usually one printing device 1 prints one color of yarn, the number of printing devices 1 is set according to the color types of dyed yarns required by the weaving device 2, and the number of printing devices 1 can be the same as or different from the color types of yarns required by the weaving device 2. When the yarn colors required by the weaving device 2 contain yarn colors that do not need to be printed and dyed, or the amount of yarn of a certain color required in weaving is very small and does not need to be stored, the number of printing devices 1 is less than the color types of yarns required by the weaving device 2.

[0044] In some embodiments, the number of printing devices 1 is the same as the number of color types of yarns required by the weaving device 2, at this time, the yarn colors required by the weaving device 2 all need to be printed and dyed by the printing device 1.

[0045] The number of printing devices 1 is the same as the number of yarn storage devices 3, and one-to-one correspondence. One yarn storage device 3 stores one yarn, and the current printer prints one yarn at a time. When one printing device 1 contains one printer, one printing device 1 corresponds to one yarn storage device 3, and the number of printing devices 1 is the same as the number of yarn storage devices 3. When one printing device 1 contains two or more printers, one printing device 1 corresponds to two or more yarn storage devices 3, and the number of yarn storage devices 3 corresponding to one printing device 1 is adjusted according to the number of printers contained.

[0046] When the weaving device 2 is weaving, according to the requirements of the pattern being woven, white or colored warp yarns and white or colored weft yarns are used, and whether it is warp yarns or weft yarns, colored yarns need to be printed and dyed first. Therefore, colored warp yarns and colored weft yarns can be stored by the yarn storage device 3. Since the current warp yarn feeding speed of the weaving device 2 is usually slower than the weft yarn feeding speed, the printing device 1 can meet the warp yarn feeding requirements of the weaving device 2 when printing warp yarns, therefore, the yarn storage device 3 is mainly used for storing weft yarns.

[0047] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown, the at least one yarn storage device 3 includes a first yarn storage device 31 and a second yarn storage device 32. The yarn storage device refers to a temporary storage device for the weft yarn before it is introduced into the loom shed of the weaving device 2. The current yarn storage device usually includes a yarn storage drum, a motor, a yarn storage amount detector, a damping ring, a tensioner, a yarn arranging mechanism, etc. The yarn storage drum is usually a smooth cylindrical body or a conical body with a very small taper angle, and the yarn is wound neatly on the surface of the yarn storage drum. The motor drives the yarn storage drum to rotate and wind the yarn. The yarn storage amount detector is usually arranged at the tail of the yarn storage drum. When the stored yarn reaches the target amount, the yarn covers the yarn storage amount detector, blocking the signal of the yarn storage amount detector. The signal sent by the yarn storage amount detector to the control device is interrupted, and the motor of the yarn storage device is stopped to stop the winding of the yarn storage drum. The yarn arranging mechanism arranges the yarn neatly on the yarn storage drum. When the weft yarn is introduced, the rapier or the gripper is used to overcome the resistance generated by the damping ring to pull the weft yarn from the yarn storage drum, and the tensioner controls the tension of the weft yarn.

[0048] In this application, the first yarn storage device 31 is configured to operate synchronously with the printing device 1 to wind and store the dyed yarn output by the printing device 1 when the weaving device 2 does not need to feed yarn, and to operate synchronously with the second yarn storage device 32 while maintaining the connection with the printing device 1 when the weaving device 2 needs to feed yarn.

[0049] The second yarn storage device 32 is configured to pull the stored yarn from the first yarn storage device 31 and feed the yarn to the weaving device 2 when the weaving device 2 needs to feed yarn. The operating speed of the second yarn storage device 32 is greater than the operating speed of the first yarn storage device 31 for winding the yarn from the printing device 1.

[0050] The first yarn storage device 31 is used to wind the dyed yarn output by the printing device 1, and its operating speed is synchronized with the output speed of the printing device 1. The second yarn storage device 32 is used to pull the yarn stored in the first yarn storage device 31 to the weaving device 2, and the feeding speed of the second yarn storage device 32 is consistent with the feeding speed of the weaving device 2. Since the feeding speed of the weaving device 2 is greater than the printing output speed of the printing device 1, the speed of the second yarn storage device 32 is greater than the speed of the first yarn storage device 31 for winding the yarn from the printing device 1.

[0051] Since the first yarn feeder 31 needs to maintain an uninterrupted connection with the printing device 1 while operating synchronously with the second yarn feeder 32 when the weaving device 2 needs to feed yarn, the first yarn feeder 31 also needs to have an operating speed synchronized with the second yarn feeder 32. To achieve this, the first yarn feeder 31 used in this application is a variable speed yarn feeder. Specifically, the motors built into existing yarn feeders are all DC brushless motors. By modifying the circuit of the existing yarn feeder, the yarn feeder can achieve low-speed uniform winding of the printed yarn. For example: remove the original control circuit of the existing yarn feeder, leaving only the DC brushless motor and mechanical parts in the electrical part, and control the speed by adding a frequency converter and control circuit. The motor has a built-in rotor position detector, and automatically matches the power supply frequency with the variable frequency speed control system. After inputting DC power, the system automatically adjusts the output frequency according to the rotor position, and the motor, i.e., the yarn feeder, can be frequency-controlled. Alternatively: remove the original control circuit of the yarn feeder, leaving only the brushless DC motor and mechanical parts in the electrical part, and control the motor speed by adding a PWM controller and a motor driver device. The motor driver converts the PWM signal into a suitable drive signal for the motor; the PWM controller generates a high-frequency pulse signal, the frequency and duty cycle of which can be freely adjusted. The output voltage is adjusted by changing the duty cycle of the high and low voltage; a higher duty cycle results in a higher average voltage and a faster motor speed, and vice versa. (See reference 31 for the first yarn storage device.) Figure 5 As shown, the second yarn storage device 32 refers to Figure 6 As shown.

[0052] When the weaving device 2 does not require yarn feeding, the first yarn storage device 31 operates synchronously with the printing device 1 to wind and store the dyed yarn output by the printing device 1. When the weaving device 2 needs yarn, it operates synchronously with the second yarn storage device 32, which feeds yarn, while maintaining continuous yarn supply with the printing device 1. The second yarn storage device 32 feeds the yarn stored on the first yarn storage device 31 to the weaving device 2, thus meeting the yarn supply needs of the weaving device 2 while the printing device 1 continues printing, and achieving synchronous operation of printing and weaving.

[0053] In some embodiments, there are at least two first yarn storage devices 31. At the same time, one of the first yarn storage devices 31 is connected to the printing device 1 to operate synchronously with the printing device 1 and to wind and store the dyed yarn output by the printing device 1.

[0054] There is one second yarn storage device 32. The second yarn storage device 32 pulls the stored yarn from the first yarn storage device 31, which stops operating synchronously with the printing device 1 after the yarn storage is completed, and sends the yarn to the weaving device 2.

[0055] The at least two first yarn storage devices 31 are used to alternately store the yarn from the printing device 1, and the first yarn storage device 31 and the second yarn storage device 32 have a progressive relationship along the weft direction, when one first yarn storage device 31 stores the yarn and the second yarn storage device 32 pulls the yarn to the weaving device 2, the other first yarn storage device 31 can store the yarn, which can improve the yarn storage efficiency and ensure the synchronization of the printing device 1, the yarn storage device 3 and the weaving device 2.

[0056] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 The yarn storage device 3 includes a yarn storage box 33 and a driving mechanism (not shown in the figure); The yarn storage box 33 is configured to store the dyed yarn output from the printing device 1, and the driving mechanism is configured to drive the yarn storage box 33 to transfer the dyed yarn from the printing device 1 to the weaving device 2.

[0057] Specifically, the yarn storage box 33 is an open-top box body arranged below the end of the printing device 1 outputting the yarn. The dyed yarn output from the printing device 1 falls into the open-top box body under the action of gravity. The driving mechanism can be a linear motor, a pneumatic cylinder, a conveyor belt mechanism or any other device or structure capable of driving the yarn storage box 33 to transfer from the printing device 1 to the weaving device 2.

[0058] The yarn storage box 33 is used to store the dyed yarn output from the printing device 1, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the yarn storage box 33 to transfer the yarn to the weaving device 2, which has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, and adjustable length and width of the yarn storage box. When more yarn storage capacity is needed, the length and width of the yarn storage box can be expanded and adjusted.

[0059] Preferably, referring to Figure 5 The yarn storage device 3 further includes a yarn arranging mechanism 34, which is used to pull the dyed yarn out of the printing device 1 and arrange the dyed yarn in a meandering shape in the yarn storage box 33.

[0060] The yarn arranging mechanism 34 is used to pull the dyed yarn out of the printing device 1 and arrange the dyed yarn in a meandering shape in the yarn storage box 33, which can effectively prevent the yarn from being tangled and knotted in the yarn storage box 33, thereby affecting the feeding of the weaving device 2.

[0061] Preferably, the yarn arranging mechanism 34 includes a clamping member 341 and a swinging member 342, and the clamping member 341 is configured to clamp and fix the dyed yarn in the printing device 1 and pull it to above the yarn storage box 33. The swinging member 342 is configured to swing in a direction intersecting the yarn clamped by the clamping member 341 to arrange the yarn pulled over the yarn storage box 33 into a meandering shape. The clamping member 341 includes a pair of rollers, the central axes of the rollers are parallel, the outer circumferential surfaces of the rollers are in contact, the yarn is clamped between the outer circumferential surfaces of the rollers in contact, and the forward movement of the yarn is realized by the rotation of the rollers. The swinging member 342 includes a driving member for rotating the swinging arm and the de-swinging arm back and forth, which can be a rotary motor, a rotary cylinder or any other device or structure capable of driving the swinging arm to rotate back and forth at a fixed speed and a fixed stroke.

[0062] The clamping member 341 clamps the dyed yarn and pulls it over the yarn storage box 33 to avoid bending and winding of the yarn when it naturally falls, and the swinging member 342 swings to arrange the yarn pulled over the yarn storage box 33 into a meandering shape, effectively preventing the yarn from winding and knotting in the yarn storage box 33, and facilitating the feeding of the weaving device.

[0063] The embodiment of the application also provides a yarn storage device 3, which includes a yarn storage unit and a yarn feeding unit.

[0064] The yarn storage unit is configured to store the dyed yarn printed by the printing device 1. The yarn feeding unit is configured to feed the yarn to the weaving device 2 when needed by the weaving device 2 while the printing device 1 continues to print and the yarn storage unit remains connected to the printing device 1 without interruption.

[0065] The yarn storage device includes a yarn storage unit and a yarn feeding unit, the yarn storage unit stores the yarn, and the yarn feeding unit feeds the yarn, which can pre-store the dyed yarn printed by the printing device 1 for use by the weaving device.

[0066] In some embodiments, the yarn storage unit includes a first yarn storage device 31, and the yarn feeding unit includes a second yarn storage device 32.

[0067] The first yarn storage device 31 is configured to operate synchronously with the printing device 1 to wind and store the dyed yarn output by the printing device 1 when the weaving device 2 does not need to feed the yarn, and to operate synchronously with the second yarn storage device 32 while remaining connected to the printing device 1 without interruption when the weaving device 2 needs to feed the yarn.

[0068] The second yarn storage device 32 is configured to pull the stored yarn from the first yarn storage device 31 and feed the yarn to the weaving device 2 when the weaving device 2 needs to feed the yarn. The operating speed of the yarn feeding unit is greater than the operating speed of the yarn storage unit.

[0069] The first yarn storage device 31 and the second yarn storage device 32 are used to cooperate with each other, when the weaving device 2 does not need to feed the yarn, the first yarn storage device 31 stores the dyed yarn printed by the printing device 1, when the weaving device 2 needs to feed the yarn, the second yarn storage device 32 feeds the yarn from the first yarn storage device 31, the first yarn storage device 31 keeps connected with the printing device 1 without being interrupted and synchronously operates with the second yarn storage device 32, so that the feeding efficiency is effectively improved and the continuous printing of the printing device 1 is not affected.

[0070] The undyed yarn enters from the yarn feeding end of the printing device 1, is printed and dyed by the printing device 1, is output from the yarn output end of the printing device 1, is stored by the first yarn storage device 31, and is pulled by the second yarn storage device 32 from the tail of the first yarn storage device 31 and is fed to the yarn feeding end of the weaving device 2 and is fed into the loom by the yarn feeder or the rapier.

Meanwhile, the length and / or width of the yarn storage box 33 can be adjusted according to the actual yarn storage requirement, when the yarn storage requirement is large, the lengthened and / or widened yarn storage box can accommodate more yarn storage and transportation, and the adjustment is convenient.

[0074] The embodiment of the application further provides a textile method, which uses the textile system as described above, and the method comprises the following steps: In response to a yarn dyeing request initiated by the weaving device and carrying the color of the yarn, the printing device 1 is driven to print and dye the yarn to form the dyed yarn.

[0075] The printing device 1 prints what color on the yarn, which is determined according to the specific pattern to be woven by the weaving device.

[0076] The yarn storage device 3 is driven to store the dyed yarn printed by the printing device 1, and each yarn storage device 3 corresponds to store one dyed yarn printed by the printing device 1; the start of the yarn storage device 3 can be simultaneous with the start of the printing device 1 or can have a time difference.

[0077] In response to the weaving request initiated by the weaving device 2, the control printing device 1 continues to print and drives the storage device 3 corresponding to the yarn number or yarn color to keep connected with the printing device 1 without interruption, and then the stored dyed yarn is pulled to the weaving device 2 for weaving.

[0078] The printing device 1 is driven to print the dyed yarn, and the storage device 3 is driven to store the dyed yarn printed by the printing device 1. When the weaving device 2 needs to weave, the storage device 3 keeps connected with the printing device 1 without interruption, and then the stored yarn is led to the weaving device 2. In the case that the printing device 1 continues to print without stopping, the yarn feeding requirement of the weaving device 2 can be met.

[0079] The storage of the yarn by the storage device 3 to the printing device 1 can be that the storage device 3 is connected with the printing device 1 without feeding yarn, the storage device 3 and the weaving device 2 are both not started, the printing device 1 is printed for a period of time, then the storage device 3 is started to store yarn, and the weaving device 2 is started after the storage device 3 stores yarn for a period of time. It can also be that the storage device 3 is connected with the printing device 1, the printing device 1 prints and dyes, and the storage device 3 synchronously stores yarn, and the weaving device 2 weaves after the storage device 3 stores yarn for a period of time. It can also be that some yarns with relatively small amount of color have a remaining amount left on the storage device 3 after the previous weaving, and then the printing device 1, the storage device 3 and the weaving device 2 can be started simultaneously. It should be noted that the start of the weaving device 2 described above means that the weaving device 2 starts to weave.
