Conventional single card air yarn units create flow vortices in the carding box that affect the fiber structure and thus the yarn performance. Key parameters for airflow characteristics include geometry and spinning parameters (Such as the length of the nozzle, the width of the inlet and outlet, the speed and diameter of the felting roller). This paper proposes to improve the transport channel to reduce eddy currents in the upflow region and to analyze airflow fields using fluid knowledge. This paper examines three designs: a bypass circular channel entrance for air supply, rounded corners at the bottom right in the conveyor channel and combining both modifications. According to the analysis, a nozzle inlet/outlet ratio between 0.5 and 1 gives the lowest swirl and the highest mass flow. Considering the yarn characteristics and the system production efficiency, it is ideal when the barbed roll speed is 8000 rpm and the diameter is about 30 mm. It is possible to dissipate the vortices for three methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
