Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention by way of examples. Of course, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, any other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive labor all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0017] A method for manufacturing 100% PE spun yarn with anti-fuzzing and anti-pilling properties is as follows. Put the dried polyolefin chips into the raw material input chamber, first melt, filter, and measure them, then put them into the heat preservation box body, and then after passing through filtration and pressurization by components, extrude them uniformly from the spinneret. Set the melting temperature range to 270 - 290 °C, the box body temperature to 285 - 300 °C, load 80 - 100 mesh stainless steel sintered metal sand inside the component, and set the initial pressure of the component to 110 KG in the spinning step S1. Let the dropped tow reach the focusing point by air cooling, and set the air temperature to 16 - 18 °C and the air speed to 0.6 - 0.75 m / s in the cooling step S2. Oil the tow dropped from the air cooling window with an oiling wheel and then put it into the hot stretching section for traction and tension. Control the speed of the oiling wheel to 32 - 35 HZ, the concentration of the oil agent to 1:6, the oiling rate of the tow to 1.1 - 1.3%, the drawing multiple to 4.6 - 4.9, and the drawing temperature to 62 - 70 °C. The concentration of the oil agent refers to the ratio of the oil agent to the spinning solution in the oiling and stretching step S3. Perform stable shaping and winding on the tow after traction and tension, set the shaping temperature to 108 - 110 °C, and make the boiling water shrinkage rate of the tow 8% - 9% after shaping in the shaping and winding step S4, including.

[0018] By adjusting the temperature of the spinning process, the component loading process is optimized to ensure that the fiber yarn is extruded continuously and uniformly. By adjusting the cooling air temperature and wind speed, the tows are cooled uniformly to ensure that the tows are stabilized and the sway amplitude of the tows is reduced. By adjusting the speed of the oiling wheel and the concentration of the sizing agent, the tows are controlled to an appropriate oiling rate. By adjusting the draw ratio and draw temperature, the hairiness is removed to ensure that it cannot be wound around the roll, and the boiling water shrinkage rate is reduced to 8% - 9% to achieve a stable setting. The present invention optimizes the process parameters of each process of spinning, cooling, oiling / drawing, and setting / winding to improve the toughness index of the single fiber, effectively solve the problem of single fiber breakage during the use process of the fabric, fundamentally solve the problem of hairiness, and further prevent the occurrence of pilling problems.

[0019] In one embodiment, the molecular weight of the polyolefin chip is 680,000 - 750,000. Using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene helps to improve the single fiber strength.

[0020] In one embodiment, in step S1, 110 - 120 g of stainless steel sintered metal sand is loaded inside the component. Optimizing the component loading process helps to extrude the fiber yarn continuously and uniformly.

[0021] In one embodiment, in step S1, the melting temperatures are set at 270°C, 290°C, 290°C, and 290°C, and the box body temperature is 290°C.

[0022] In one embodiment, the shape of the spinning holes on the spinneret presents a triangle or a rectangle. By ensuring that the frictional force generated by friction during the use process of the fabric cannot resist the strength of the single fiber, it is ensured that the single fiber does not break, and the occurrence of hairiness and pilling phenomena is effectively avoided.

[0023] In one embodiment, in step S2, the distance from the focusing point to the spinneret is 2 to 2.3 m. With an appropriate distance, both the cooling effect of the tow and the stabilization of the tow are achieved. If the distance is too short, the cooling of the tow will be insufficient, but if the distance is too long, the swaying amplitude of the tow will increase.

[0024] In one embodiment, in step S3, the oil coating rate of the tow is controlled to 1.2%. Uniform and appropriate oil coating lays a foundation for stretching and facilitates a stable shape.

[0025] In one embodiment, in step S4, the number of winding turns is 6 to 8. With a certain number of winding turns, the shaping time can be increased, which is helpful for the stable shaping of the tow.

[0026] The PE100% spun yarn having hairiness and pilling resistance is a spun yarn processed by the above manufacturing method.

[0027] In one embodiment, the PE100% spun yarn having hairiness and pilling resistance has a single fiber fineness of 6 D and can reach a strength of 2.7 to 2.9 CN / dtex.

This is the spinning step S1. The dropped tows are made to reach the focusing point by air cooling. Set the air temperature at 16°C, the wind speed at 0.7m / s, and the distance from the focusing point to the spinneret at 2.2m. This is the cooling step S2. The oiling and stretching step S3 is to oil the tows that have fallen from the cooling air window with an oiling wheel and then put them into the hot stretching section for traction and tension. Control the speed of the oiling wheel at 35HZ, the concentration of the oil agent at 1:6, the oiling rate of the tows at 1.2%, the drawing multiple at 4.9, and the drawing temperature at 66°C.

Let the dropped tow reach the focusing point by air cooling, set the air temperature to 17 °C, the air speed to 0.7 m / s, and the distance from the focusing point to the spinneret to 2.1 m in the cooling step S2.
