Spun yarns are almost entirely produced using ring, rotor and relatively new air vortex spinning systems. In this study, shear properties of fabrics woven with cotton, viscose, and polyester yarns spun using ring, rotor, and vortex spinning systems were investigated. Experimentally determined shear characteristic-related factors, such as initial shear rigidity, shear rigidity, shear hysteresis at a 0.5 degree shear angle, and shear hysteresis at a 5 degree shear angle along the principle directions, were statistically analyzed. In addition, differences between the shear behaviors of the woven fabric samples were identified using the digital image correlation (DIC) technique. While our analyses confirm the statistically significant difference between the shear behavior of samples woven with ring-spun yarns and samples woven with rotor and vortex yarns in the weft direction, no significant difference in shear behavior between the samples woven with rotor and vortex yarns was observed. It was found that the yarn spinning system has no significant effect on fabric shear characteristics in the warp direction. It also was concluded that the DIC technique can successfully be used to analyze the differences in shear characteristics of fabrics woven by various type of spun yarns.

“…This greatly increases the rotational speed of the fiber strand, which can be as high as 200, 000 turns/min. This technique not only increases the production speed and shortens the processing procedure, but also lowers the cost and energy consumption involved in the yarn production [1]. In the global background of energy shortage and manpower cost rising, the vortex spinning technique is one of the most promising technological innovations in the textile industry.…”

Investigation on the Dynamic Behavior of the Fiber in the Vortex Spinning Nozzle and Effects of Some Nozzle Structure Parameters

Vortex spinning, which adopts high speed airflow to insert twist into the yarn, is one of the most promising technological innovations in the textile industry. In vortex spinning, the dynamic behavior of the fiber inside the nozzle, which involves fiber-airflow interaction and fiber-wall contact, plays an important role in the twist insertion process. This paper investigates the airflow characteristics and the fiber dynamic behavior inside the vortex spinning nozzle via a two-dimensional numerical model with the fiber-airflow interaction and fiber-wall contact included. The fiber is assumed to be isotropic, elastic material. The airflow inside the nozzle is assumed to be turbulent, viscous and incompressible. The numerical results show that two vortices with momentarily changed sizes are created upstream of the jet orifice outlets. The imbalance of the pressure around the fiber causes the fiber to move and deform. The trailing end of the fiber rotates with wave shape within the nozzle chamber for several periods to insert twist into the yarn. Based on the model, the effects of three nozzle structure parameters-the jet orifice angle, jet orifice diameter, distance between the nozzle inlet and the hollow spindle, on the dynamic behavior of the fiber, and in turn, the yarn structure and tensile property are investigated. The results show that the appropriate jet orifice angle for obtaining the best yarn tenacity is 70°. The optimal jet orifice diameter is 0.4 mm. The spun yarn has the highest tenacity when the distance between the nozzle inlet and the hollow spindle is 14 mm.

“…Vortex spinning is an innovative spinning system which incorporates two-phase flow to produce yarns. 9,10 In the vortex spinning system, as shown in Figure 1, 11,12 the spinning apparatus is composed of an air-jet nozzle and a hollow spindle with a yarn passage through it. In the air-jet nozzle, high-speed airflow is ejected into the nozzle chamber through several jet orifices which are tangential to the nozzle wall.…”

In this study, two methods, the numerical simulation and the artificial neural network, are adopted to predict the vortex yarn tenacity from some process and nozzle parameters. The fiber-airflow interaction and the motional characteristics of the fiber inside the vortex spinning nozzle are analyzed through the numerical simulation method to predict the yarn tenacity from the parameters of the jet orifice diameter and the yarn delivery speed. The back-propagation multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network is adopted to predict the tenacity of vortex yarn spun from modal fibers. The following parameters are used as inputs: nozzle pressure, jet orifice angle, distance between the guiding needle and the spindle, and spindle cone angle. The predicted and measured tenacities show low relative errors and a high correlation coefficient, indicating the artificial neural network method provides accurate prediction results. In addition, the effects of these parameters on the yarn tenacity are also analyzed.
