Rotating Nozzle Ring for High-Speed Interlaced Knot Production

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the nozzle ring rotatable rather than stationary. The nozzle ring can rotate at different speeds relative to the thread feed, allowing dynamic adjustment of the air treatment frequency. This enables the system to maintain high thread feed speeds while still generating sufficient pressure pulses to create the required number of interlaced knots per unit length, resolving the contradiction between speed and knot density.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the air treatment into multiple discrete pressure pulses generated by individual nozzle bores rather than using a single continuous air stream. Each nozzle bore delivers a concentrated pulse of air to specific locations along the thread, creating multiple localized interlaced knots. This segmented approach allows sufficient total air quantity to be distributed as intensive localized pulses, ensuring both adequate treatment intensity and knot stability.

The patent applies the universality principle by designing the nozzle ring to serve multiple functions: it distributes air through multiple nozzle bores, rotates at variable speeds to control treatment frequency, and can be adjusted to position specific nozzle bores at the chamber aperture. This multi-functional design allows a single component to achieve high knot production rates without proportionally increasing overall device complexity, as the rotating ring integrates several functions that would otherwise require separate mechanisms.
