Optimum drafting conditions of bamboo charcoal-modified fiber blended yarn obtained by drafting behavior analysis

In this work, the effect of optimum drafting condition on the drafting behavior and yarn quality of the bamboo charcoal-modified fiber blended spun yarns were studied. We measured the drafting force and drafting force variance, CV% of the bamboo charcoal-modified Polyester/Cotton (BCP/C) blended roving and bamboo charcoal-modified Rayon/Cotton (BCR/C) blended roving to examine the influence of the roller gauge and drafting ratio on drafting behavior and yarn quality. We understand that the drafting force of the bamboo charcoal-modified fiber blended roving follow the same trend as that for the regular P/C and R/C blend roving. However, the drafting force presents some difference in characteristics between these bamboo charcoal-modified fiber blended rovings. To correlate the drafting force variation, CV% and the bamboo charcoal-modified fiber blended spun yarn properties, we evaluated the yarn quality and investigate the yarn quality index in conjunction with the break drafting ratio. Therefore, in this work, we can obtain the best optimum drafting conditions for bamboo charcoal-modified fiber blended spun yarns; for the 19.7 tex of BCP70/C30 blend spun yarn was under the roller gauge of 54 mm at the draft ratio of 1.3, whereas, for the 19.7 tex of BCR40/C60 blend spun yarn was under the roller gauge of 54 mm at the draft ratio of 1.2.     

Vorticity analysis associated with drafting cylinders for pneumatic spinning

Traditional spinning systems have reached profitability limits in developed countries due to high production costs and low system productivity. Pneumatic spinning is seen as a developing system, because productivity is much higher than conventional systems. This study evaluates one of the main problems to increase productivity in pneumatic spinning, where air mass-flow is dragged by the drafting cylinders. This flow interacts with the incoming fibres deviating them from their expected path. Via laser anemometry, airflow velocity distribution around drafting cylinders has been measured and it has been found that vorticity is created at the cylinder’s inlet. Extensive CFD simulation on the air flow dragged by the cylinders has given a clear insight into the vortex created, producing valuable information on how cylinder design affects the vorticity created. Several drafting cylinder designs have been tested without giving any improvement in productivity. However, the use of a drafting cylinder with holes in it produced good results to the problem of air currents, strongly reducing them and therefore allowing a sharp increase in yarn quality, as well as an increase in productivity. An extensive study on vortex kinematics has been undertaken, bringing with it a better understanding of vortex creation, development and breakdown.     

The analysis of the influence of fiber length distribution on the theoretical and additional unevenness of yarn

Fiber length distribution has an impact not only on the theoretical unevenness of yarn caused by random fiber alignment, but also upon the additional unevenness caused during processing, especially in drafting. For a given fiber length distribution, there is a discrepancy between the theoretical unevenness of yarn which is calculated with Martindale’s equation and the actual unevenness tested by instrument. In order to reflect the effect of fiber length distribution on the theoretical unevenness of yarn, in this research, a kernel function was used to estimate the probability density function of fiber length, therefore, calculation of Suh’s model for theoretical unevenness was realized. On this basis, the theoretical and additional unevenness of yarn were calculated. The statistical influence of fiber length parameters on yarn unevenness was discussed. It can be concluded that decreasing the values of effective length, length irregularity and 16 mm SFC by weight would improve the uniformity of yarn.     

Study on Spinning triangles in the common ring spinning and Super draft ring spinning systems

In the paper, one kind of super draft ring spinning frame with four drafting rollers and corresponding three drafting zones were introduced. The yarn qualities spun by the super draft ring spinning frame were analyzed by studying the shape of spinning triangles. Using the high speed camera system OLYMPUS i-speed3 and one kind of transparent front top roller, the spinning triangles were captured, and the geometry size of spinning triangle were measured. Then, according to the theoretical model of fiber tension in the spinning triangle, fiber tension distributions in the spinning triangles were presented by using Matlab software. Using the combed roving of 350 tex as raw material, three kinds of cotton yarns, 27.8 tex (21^S), 18.2 tex (32^S) and 14.6 tex (40^S), were spun in the common ring spinning frame with three different suitable spindle speeds, travelers and twist factors. Using the combed roving of 350 tex and 500 tex as raw material, 14.6 tex cotton yarns were spun in the super draft ring spinning frame with three different drafting ratios at back zone. It is shown that with the increasing of spindle speed, a more asymmetric shape of spinning triangle would be produced, and lead to worsen yarn evenness. With the decreasing of traveler weight, the height and horizontal deviation of the spinning triangle is decreased, and may lead to better yarn evenness and less long hairiness. By taking suitable large yarn twist factors, the comprehensive qualities can be improved. Comparing with the common ring spinning, the spinning triangle is larger in the super draft ring spinning. That is, in the super draft ring spinning, the fibers in the strand in the front roller nip are more dispersed, and not benefit for yarn qualities. Therefore, the compact device was introduced into the super draft ring spinning, and the cotton pure yarns and blend yarns were spun, and the yarn qualities were measured and analyzed.     

Effects of material parameters and process conditions on the roll-drafting dynamics

Roll drafting, a mechanical operation attenuating fiber bundles to an appropriate thickness, is an important operation unit for manufacturing staple yarns. It influences not only the linear density regularity of the slivers or staple yarns that are produced, but also the quality of the textile product and the efficiency of the thereafter processes. In this research, the dynamic states of the fiber bundle in the roll drafting zone were analyzed by simulation, based on the mathematical model that describes the dynamic behavior of the flowing bundle. The state variables are the linear density and velocity of the fiber bundles and we simulated the dynamics states of the bundle flow, e.g., the profiles of the linear density and velocity in the draft zone for various values of the model parameters and boundary conditions, including the initial conditions to obtain their influence on the dynamic state. Results showed that the mean velocity profile of the fiber bundle was strongly influenced by draft ratio and process speed, while the input sliver linear density has hardly affected the process dynamics. Velocity variance of individual fibers that could be supposed to be a disturbing factor in drafting was also influenced by the process speed. But the major disturbance occurred due to the velocity slope discontinuity at the front roll, which was strongly influenced by the process speed. Thickness of input sliver didn’t play any important role in the process dynamics.     

New definition of the fibrogram and its application to cotton blending

The fibrogram theory is newly derived from the superposition principle of the conventional staple diagram, in which the left-hand ends of the fibers have to share a common starting point in order for the fiber length distribution to be measured, and the right-hand ends of the fibers form points. It is shown that the fibrogram is the staple diagram of the fiber sample having different random starting points, as well as the double cumulative distribution function of the frequency length function in the length biased sample. Also, the various means, viz. the numerical mean length, numerical mean length in median, length biased mean length, and length biased mean length in median, and the various upper half means, viz. the numerical upper half mean length, numerical upper half mean length in median, length biased upper half mean length, and length biased upper half mean length in median, are discussed in relation to the cotton blending process.     

Evaluating the unevenness of stretch-broken tow in tow-to-yarn direct spinning

This study evaluates the unevenness (CV%) of the stretch-broken tow in the break draft zone of a two drafting-three pairs of rollers with double apron draft system using oxidized filament tow. A new method is presented for determining a suitable break draft condition in tow-to-yarn direct spinning to obtain the best oxidized yarn quality using the technique of stretch-broken tow unevenness. We adopt a two drafting-three pairs of rollers with double apron draft system replaces the traditional one drafting-two pairs of rollers draft system to precede the 37 tex oxidized direct yarn spinning. The fundamental relationships between break drafting conditions (such as draft ratio and roller gauge) and CV% of stretch-broken tow are on the same trend of the drafting force. The results revealed, based on the correlation of stretch-broken tow unevenness and yarn quality, the draft condition corresponding to the lower CV% can be chosen as the suitable break draft in tow-to-yarn direct spinning to obtain the best oxidized direct yarn quality. In fact, the work had successfully improved the direct yarn quality.     

Dynamic modeling of dry non-woven fabric roller carding and control of web density uniformity. I. Precisely industrial controller design

This series of paper discussed the dynamic modeling of non-woven fabric roller carding and the control of web density uniformity. The dynamic system of dry non-woven fabric roller carding was set up to analyze the dynamic model; then in the process of derivation, theoretical exploration and studies were carried out on one carding unit in the system, consisting of cylinder, worker roller, stripper roller. After that, we probed into the relation between rotation angle and angular velocity of carding unit, and analyzed the time-delay of carding unit. With Pade approximation, the time-delay was taken as the simplification of the system model. The above conditions were utilized to derive the transfer function of carding unit and it was extended to the dry non-woven fabric roller carding system combining four of carding units, feed roller, take-in and doffer in series to obtain the transfer function of this whole system. After confirmed by the designed controller, the system was obviously improved in its tracking property. The steady-state error was also eliminated. Meanwhile, with the participation of the controller, this system might produce the maximum overshoot during its transient response. Therefore, this research regulated the reference input according to the designed dominant poles. This combination scheme effectively control the occurrence of the maximum overshoot and make for good system objectives.     

Fibre rupture phenomenon in rotor spinning

The present work relates to the occurrence of fibre rupture during fibre separation in rotor spinning and also discusses the mechanism of such rupture. The reduction in fibre length during opening has been studied at different span lengths. A correlation has been drawn showing the influence of combing roller action on yarn tenacity and elongation. Fibre rupture has direct relationship with opening roller speed. Fibre rupture and surface damage occurring due to action of opening roller together are found to mar the yarn quality index.

Rooting traits of peanut genotypes with different yield responses to pre-flowering drought stress

Water stress during the vegetative development normally is not detrimental and sometimes actually increases yield of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). Root growth might play an important role in response to early season drought in peanut and might result in an increase in yield. Information on the response of root characters of diverse peanut genotypes to these conditions will provide useful information for explaining mechanisms and improving peanut genotypes for exploiting positive interaction for pod yield under pre-flowering drought. The aim of this study, therefore, was to investigate the root dry weight and root length density of peanut genotypes with different yield responses to pre-flowering drought stress and their relationships with pod yield. Field experiments were conducted at the Field Crop Research Station of Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand during February to July 2007 and during February to July 2009. A split-plot experiment in a randomized complete block design was used. Two water management treatments were assigned as the main plots, i.e. field capacity and pre-flowering stress, and six peanut genotypes as the sub-plots. Total crop dry matter, root dry weight and root length density were recorded at 25 DAE, R5 and R7. Top dry weight and pod yield were measured at harvest and pod harvest index (PHI) was computed using the data on pod yield and biomass. Peanut genotypes were categorized into three groups based on their responses to drought for pod yield, e.g. increasing, decreasing and non-responsive groups. The genotypes of each group showed a differential response for root quantity and distribution. The increasing pod yield group had more root dry weight and root length density in the deeper soil layers during pre-flowering stress compared to the non-stress treatment. The non-responsive group showed no root response under pre-flowering drought conditions compared to the non-stress treatment. A larger root system alone without considering distribution may not contribute much to pod yield but a higher RLD at deeper layers may allow plants to mine more available water in the sub-soil. However, as yield is a complex trait, several mechanisms may be involved. The increasing pod yield group also had the ability to maintain a high PHI.     

The development of an automatic pattern-making system for made-to-measure clothing

This study developed a system that automatically created individually customized patterns by combining the two methods of “automatic drafting by pattern formulae” and “grading”. The system reads four kinds of information: body measurements; basic size pattern; grading values of the pattern’s points; and an alteration rule. Using the files, the system automatically generated a grading pattern first, and then modified it according to the alteration rule to make individually customized patterns. The clothing produced from the customized pattern fit the subject better than the clothing produced from the grading method.

Effect of opening roller speed, drums speed difference and suction air pressure on properties of open-end friction spun polyester and acrylic yarns

The present paper is concerned with the influence of opening roller speed, drum speed difference and suction air pressure on properties of polyester and acrylic open-end friction spun yarns. The results shows that the opening roller speed and the suction air pressure have considerable influence on the characteristics of polyester and acrylic open-end friction spun yarns. In case of polyester yarns the unevenness, imperfection and hairiness decreases and the yarn tenacity increases with the increase in opening roller speed and suction air pressure. However for acrylic yarns the unevenness and imperfections decreases and tenacity increases with the increase in opening roller speed and suction air pressure.     

Properties of wool/spandex core-spun yarn produced on modified woolen spinning frame

Spandex has been successfully applied on modified worsted spinning system to produce spandex core spun yarn. However it’s difficult to produce wool/spandex core-spun yarn on woolen spinning system with the same modified device because the drafting device of the two systems is quite different. A new method is introduced to apply spandex on woolen spinning system in this paper. Core-spun yarn produced in this way has good appearance and quality by comparing with normal yarn. A series of experiments were carried out to study the influence of spandex drafting ratio and yarn twist factor on tensile properties and elasticity of core-spun yarns. The results indicate that core-spun yarn with spandex drawing ratio of 2.5 and twist factor of 13.63 has highest value of tenacity and breaking elongation.     

Reducing phytate content in wheat bran by directly removing the aleurone cell content with teeth roller mill and ultrasonic cleaner

Wheat bran is good for human health due to the abundance of dietary fiber. However, it also contains much phytate which has been well documented as an anti-nutritional factor. This study is the first to explore the effectiveness of reducing phytate content in wheat bran by directly removing the aleurone cell content utilizing different roller mills (smooth roller, coarse smooth roller and teeth roller) and different clean-up methods (brushing and ultrasonic washing). Through analysis of phytate content in wheat bran obtained from different mill systems, the best raw material was found to be obtained from the 5B system. By investigating various roller types and clean-up methods, the optimal technique was found to use a teeth roller mill combined with ultrasonic washing, which could reduce the phytate content by the greatest amount: the reduction of phytate content achieved 62.98% (from 26.80 mg/g to 9.92 mg/g) in wheat bran. The optical microscope observation indicated that ultrasonic washing could wash the aleurone cell content out from broken aleurone cells which were destroyed by the teeth roller mill.     

种植密度对中棉425干物质积累与分配的影响

为探究中棉425在长江流域棉区不同的种植密度下,各生育时期的干物质积累与分配的关系,于2020年在赣北地区进行田间密度试验。结果表明,种植密度对棉花干物质积累量有显著影响,随着种植密度的增加,棉花群体总干物质累积量也在增加;同一密度不同时期的群体总干物质积累量随着时间增加呈上升斜线或波浪式增长;但密度达到适宜的群体后,干物质积累量的差异又会减小;花铃期干物质积累最快,这期间加强田间管理有利于干物质积累。种植密度改变了棉花群体干物质的分配,过高或过低的种植密度都不利于棉花干物质积累和分配,D4(8.25万株/hm 2)处理表现出较高的生殖器官群体干物质量与分配,有较高的产量潜力,是中棉425在长江流域广泛推广种植的适宜密度。     

株行配置对春玉米根冠空间分布及产量的影响

以先玉335为试验材料,设置7.50万株/hm2和9.75万株/hm2两个种植密度,60 cm+60 cm等行距和40 cm+80 cm宽窄行两个行距配置,比较株行配置对春玉米冠层、根系结构与功能及产量的影响。结果表明,随种植密度增加,果穗、茎鞘干重百分比垂直分布明显上移,叶片干重百分比在垂直分布变化较小,行距配置对果穗、茎鞘干重百分比在垂直分布上影响较小。相对于等行距种植,宽窄行种植叶片干重百分比有下移趋势,群体不同叶位叶面积指数也表现为同一密度下,宽窄行种植群体上层LAI较小,穗位叶高效叶层LAI较大;随密度增加,根重有纵向下移的趋势,根系TTC还原强度在不同土层深度都显著降低。同一密度下,宽窄行种植根重的垂直分布出现下移趋势,根系TTC还原强度略高于等行距种植。高密度条件下,宽窄行种植降低了玉米果穗秃尖长,显著增加果穗穗粒数,因而显著提高产量,增产2.73%~10.86%,说明在宁夏扬黄灌区较高种植密度下,采用宽窄行种植能优化不同叶层结构,适当增加深层土壤根系所占比例及活力,有利于获得高产。
