High density synthetic turf system

PCT designated stageWO2026052999A3Ground pavingsFiberHigh density
Disclosed herein is a synthetic turf system comprising a high-density blend of fully texturized, semi-texturized, and tape yarns tufted through a primary backing to form a blended yarn distribution having a continuous density gradient throughout the turf system's vertical profile. The system is characterized by a high filament density achieved through multiple yarn ends per tuft (increased ply count), which is enhanced by the fibrillation of the tape yarns. The high-density blend of fully texturized (20), semi-texturized (40), and fibrillated tape yarns (80), combined with the disclosed spatial and mechanical integration, provides a three-dimensional, load- distributive blend of fibers with variable flex, crimp, and surface texture. The overlap between the compression ratios of the different types of yarns results in a vertically continuous, mechanically blended turf layer, with fiber compression profiles that mimic the fibrous gradation of natural grass root and canopy structures.

Double-hook beam production double-layer cut-pile jacquard carpet tufting mechanism and control method

This invention discloses a tufting mechanism and control method for producing double-layer cut-pile jacquard carpets using a double-hook beam, belonging to the field of tufted carpet weaving machinery. Each tufting unit contains only one tufting needle, corresponding to two fixedly configured high and low cut-pile hooks. Only the high cut-pile hook has an elastic pusher controlled by the pattern program. When weaving the low pile, the elastic pusher moves forward to close the high hook tip, pushing the yarn away and capturing it with the low hook, while simultaneously supplying short yarn via a servo. When weaving the high pile, the elastic pusher moves backward to release the high hook, which captures the yarn, while simultaneously supplying long yarn. The double-cutting blade completes the cutting of both high and low pile ends in one stroke. This invention replaces the traditional hook selection mode with pusher-based yarn selection, achieving pixel-level double-layer cut-pile jacquard, full-pile cutting and even-height flatness of the carpet surface, with a minimalist structure and high reliability.
