Development equipment for hydro-jet forming of women designer's headwear

Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop the equipment for liquid-jet forming of women's headwear hats, which will allow expanding design assortment of these products. The equipment for cyclic liquid-jet forming of headwear hats in liquid-active working environment (LAWE) with forming element rotation was designed. The mechanism of movement and orientation of liquid -jet forming nozzle was developed, which allows influencing fabric parts by flooded and controlled liquid-jet, repeating the contour at a certain distance and with appropriate angle attack on each technological section of the part. The conducted experimental research allowed to receive semi-spherical forms of headwear hats from six fabrics suit-coat assortments, which are one of the most difficult forms of non-seam forming. Completely formed hats of a given complex configuration were obtained by liquid-jet forming, different from standard semi-spherical ones. The developed equipment provides mobility of the production from the point of view of quick equipment adaptation due to action use of flooded controlled liquid-jet and forming of a significant number of various hats contours, various combinations of technological forming modes.

Development a novel hydro-vibration technology for the formation of hats from fabrics

“…Particular attention is paid to the method of forming the volumetric sections of clothing parts, with the used matrices and an LAWE instead of the punch, which is water (Yakymchuk, 2010; Yakymchuk et al. , 2010c; 2018a, b; 2020; Yakymchuk and Kushchevsky, 2010b, c, d; Kushevskiy et al. , 2020; Kornilova and Gorelova, 2007).…”
