Intermittent Weaving Splicer With Dynamic Tensioner
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional splicing devices and tensioning systems in weaving are passive and apply constant tension, limiting the ability to dynamically combine materials with varying properties and achieve specific aesthetic or functional properties in textiles and other woven products.
Innovation Solution
An intermittent weaving splicer and dynamic tensioner system that dynamically terminates and combines materials, applying variable tension based on material properties and desired product characteristics, allowing for precise placement and creation of materials with varied properties along the length of the combined material.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional passive splicing devices are used to join yarn ends, then the basic splicing function is achieved, but the ability to dynamically combine materials with varying properties is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The splicing device transitions from a passive, static system to an active, dynamic system that can automatically detect yarn ends, control material feeding, and adjust splicing parameters in real-time based on material properties and desired product characteristics
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates sensors and control logic that detect yarn end conditions and material properties, providing feedback to automatically adjust splicing operations and tensioning forces to optimize the combination of different materials
2Manufacturing precision
If constant tension is applied to weaving material, then the tensioning function is simple, but the ability to achieve accurate placement and specific product properties is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The tensioning system transitions from applying constant tension to dynamically adjusting tension forces based on real-time detection of material properties (such as elasticity, thickness) and the specific requirements of different product sections
Solution Approach 2:
Different tensioning forces are applied to different sections of the material based on local requirements - for example, higher tension in areas requiring precise placement and lower tension for delicate or elastic materials
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional splicing methods are used, then the process is simple, but the ability to create materials with varied functional and aesthetic properties is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables continuous weaving production by automatically performing splicing operations without stopping the loom, seamlessly joining different materials with varying properties while maintaining production flow and efficiency

AI summary
Woven products using combined materials are provided. An intermittent weaving splicer terminates and combines materials having different functional and/or aesthetic properties to create woven products that reflect the different properties of the combined material. Further, a dynamic tensioner variably adjusts tension on the combined materials based on the different properties of the combined material.
