Solution Overview

Problem

Existing polyamide monofilaments face issues with high tension and static electricity generation during warping, leading to vertical lines and reduced weaving productivity in mesh woven products.

Innovation Solution

A polyamide monofilament with controlled abrasion tension up to 0.3 cN/dtex and reduced static electricity generation up to 300 V when passed through a yarn guide, achieved by using a ceramic guide and chromium round rod guide, respectively, to stabilize the yarn and prevent adhesion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Force

If silicon-added oil is applied to reduce tension upon passage of the yarn guide, then the tension and fluctuation are reduced, but static electricity is generated resulting in yarn adhesion and loss of weaving productivity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetension upon passage of the yarn guideVSAvoidweaving productivity
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical-chemical parameters of the spinning oil by specifying precise compositions (polyether-modified silicone at 1.5-10% by mass, phosphoric acid ester at 3-12% by mass) to simultaneously achieve low tension (up to 0.3 cN/dtex) and low static electricity (up to 300 V), resolving the contradiction between tension reduction and productivity maintenance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a composite spinning oil system combining polyether-modified silicone (for lubrication and tension reduction) with phosphoric acid ester (for static electricity control), creating a synergistic effect that addresses both tension and static electricity issues without compromising weaving productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If warping speed is decreased to suppress static electricity generation, then yarn adhesion is reduced, but weaving productivity is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestatic electricity generationVSAvoidweaving productivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the electrostatic parameters by incorporating phosphoric acid ester (3-12% by mass) into the spinning oil composition, which effectively reduces static electricity generation (up to 300 V) without requiring speed reduction, thereby maintaining high weaving productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If high tension is applied during warping, then weaving speed can be maintained, but vertical lines and strain in the yarn occur reducing quality

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the friction parameters by optimizing the spinning oil composition (polyether-modified silicone 1.5-10% by mass) to reduce abrasion tension (up to 0.3 cN/dtex), enabling low-tension warping that prevents vertical lines and yarn strain while maintaining high weaving speed through improved lubrication

AI summary

A polyamide monofilament is characterized in that the abrasion tension thereof when passed through a ceramic guide is 0.3 cN/dtex or less and in that the amount of static electricity generated at the exit of a chromium round bar guide, which is a frictional body, when the polyamide monofilament is passed through the chromium round bar guide, is 300 V or less. This polyamide monofilament and fiber package provide a gauze woven fabric for which tension is low when passing through a thread path guide when warping warp yarn, for which generation of static electricity is suppressed, and which has excellent weaving productivity.
