The Influence of Elimination of Roving Frame on Ring Spun Cotton Yarn Characteristics

Generally, ring spun yarns are manufactured from roving which is produced by roving frame. In this paper, an experiment has been done producing ring spun cotton yarn directly from finisher drawn sliver eliminating the roving frame. Total 3 types of yarn with the various linear density of 8 Ne, 10 Ne & 12 Ne were produced using a roving frame and without using a roving frame. In the next step, physical and mechanical properties of those yarns including unevenness, imperfections, hairiness & tenacity were investigated. The result showed that ring spun cotton yarns produced from sliver exhibited inferior physical and mechanical properties compared with samples from the conventional ring spinning system.

Are yarn quality prediction tools useful in the breeding of high yielding and better fibre quality cotton(Gossypium hirsutum L.)?

Results The population had large variations for lint yield,fibre properties,predicted yarn properties,and composite fibre quality values.Lint yield with all fibre quality traits was not correlated.When the selection was conducted first to keep those with improved fibre quality,and followed for high yields,a large proportion in the resultant populations was the same between selections based on Cottonspec predicted yarn quality and HVI-measured fibre properties.They both exceeded the selection based on FQI and Background The approach of directly testing yarn quality to define fibre quality breeding objectives and progress the selection is attractive but difficult when considering the need for time and labour.The question remains whether yarn prediction tools from textile research can serve as an alternative.In this study,using a dataset from three seasons of field testing recombinant inbred line population,Cottonspec,a software developed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation(CSIRO)for predicting ring spun yarn quality from fibre properties measured by High Volume Instrument(HVI),was used to select improved fibre quality and lint yield in the population.The population was derived from an advanced generation inter-crossing of four CSIRO conventional commercial varieties.The Cottonspec program was able to provide an integrated index of the fibre qualities affecting yarn properties.That was compared with selection based on HVI-measured fibre properties,and two composite fibre quality variables,namely,fibre quality index(FQI),and premium and discount(PD)points.The latter represents the net points of fibre length,strength,and micronaire based on the Premiums and Discounts Schedule used in the market while modified by the inclusion of elongation.PD points.Conclusions The population contained elite segregants with improved yield and fibre properties,and Cottonspec predicted yarn quality is useful to effectively capture these elites.There is a need to further develop yarn quality prediction tools through collaborative efforts with textile mills,to draw better connectedness between fibre and yarn quality.This connection will support the entire cotton value chain research and evolution.

SOME END-USES OF PURE RAMIE NOIL ROTOR YARNS

In the previous studies, the optimum technological combination has been obtained for producing coarse pure ramie noil yarns on rotor spinning system currently. Because of no yarn properties standard available at present for suchlike yarns, it is considered necessary to analyse the acceptability of coarse pure ramie noil rotor-spun yarns in terms of yarn properties before their products being developed. By the aid of a hypothetical concept "pure ramie noil ring-spun yarn", this paper draws the conclusion that the coarse pure ramie noil rotor-spun yarns are condsidered acceptable to a great extent; furthermore, it introduces 5 kinds of woven fabrics and 3 kinds of knitted fabrics successfully designed and developed from those yarns.

Effect of Blending Ratio on the Properties of Ramie/Polyester Blended Yarn

The effects of the blending ratio on the properties of Ramie/Polyester blended yarns are discussed in this paper. The experimental results show that the elongation of the yarn with the polyester content more than 40% is better than that of others. There is a lowest tenacity of the yarn corresponding to the blending ratio of 50/50 or so. The other properties of the yarn, such as the evenness and hairiness, will be improved with the increasing of the polyester content.

Multi-objective Optimal Trajectory and Placement of a Robot for Cotton Yarns Handling

This study deals with a robot manipulator for yarn bobbin handling in the cotton yarns lattice distortion modification system.The aim is to achieve an operation of yarn bobbin handling with minimal execution time,energy consumption and jerk in motion together.The placement of the robot,in relation to the yarn bobbin stations,is also optimized in conjunction of trajectory optimization.Three possible techniques for building the handling traj'ectory were considered:the quaternion spherical linear interpolation in Cartesian space,the quintic polynomial spline and quintic B-spline in joint space.The genetic algorithm(GA) was used to optimize the trajectories of the robot,with a penalty function to handle nonlinear constraints associated in the robot motion.Two simulations of the optimal trajectory in joint space and the placement of robot were carried out and the results obtained were presented and discussed.It is concluded that the quintic polynomial spline constructs a better trajectory in joint space and the proper placement of robot makes better performance.

Study of Rotor Spun Basofil/Cotton Blended Yarn Quality Characteristics during Optimisation of Processing Parameters

Yarn quality characteristics are affected by processing parameters. A 36 tex rotor spun yarn of 50/50 Basofil/ cotton （B/C） blended yarn was spun, and the spinning process optimised for rotor speed, opening roller speed and twist factor. Selected yarn characteristics were studied during the optimization process. During the optimizations process yarn elongation and hairiness reduced with increase in rotor speed. Tenacity increased with increase of rotor speed. The increase in TF caused tenacity and CV of count to increase up to a peak and then started to decrease with further increase of TF.While TF caused an increase in yarn hairiness, elongation decreased to a minimum level and then started to increase with further increase of TF. CV of count and hairiness increased with increase in opening roller speed, but tenacity and elongation decreased with increase in opening roller speed. The optimization process yielded the optimum levels for rotor speed, opening roller speed and twist factor （TF） as 45,000 rpm, 6,500 rpm and 450 respectively. As per uster Standards the optimum yam showed good results for CV of count, CV of tenacity and thin places/km.

AN INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATION BETWEEN COTTON FIBRE PROPERTIES AND YARN QUALITY BY USING HIGH VOLUME INSTRUMENT(HVI)SYSTEM

The objective of this paper is to establish reliable prediction equations relating cotton fibreproperties measured by HVI system and yarn quality,A useful statistical method is adopted for de-veloping a multiple regression model interpreting the relation between the data of Spinlab HVIfibre properties and quality parameters of yarn STQ (Strength Tex Quotient).The percent relativecontribution of a fibre property with respect of STQ is also assessed.The results show that the totalcontribution of the HVI measured fibre properties can account for 77.4% of known variation ofyarn STQ.The main feature of the approach is its flexibility in accommodating all fibre properties.The examination of regression equation showed that it could be well applied to predict STQ ofyarns spun from the same spinning system,but,for different spinning systems and also for yarns ofdifferent linear density,modification of the equation would be needed.

Structure and Properties of Pure Cotton Low-Twist Single Yarn Based on Addition of Long-Staple Cotton

Pure cotton low-twist single yarn has good softness,bulkiness,and wearing comfort,but its lower strength makes the yarn break easily during the spinning process,which seriously affects the spinning effect and progress.The addition of long-staple cotton helps to increase the average length and uniformity of the raw fiber,thereby improving the breaking load and spinnability of pure cotton low-twist single yarn.In this study,the addition of long-staple cotton,the twist factor,and the twist direction were used as variables to spin 22 kinds of combed 14.6 tex pure cotton low-twist single yarn with spinnability,and the breaking load,the hairiness,and the unevenness of the yarn were tested.The result shows that the spinnability of pure cotton low-twist single yarn is mainly related to the breaking load,and with the increase of the twist factor,the breaking load of low-twist single yarn shows an obvious upward trend.When the proportion of long-staple cotton is 70%,the breaking load of low-twist single yarn is the largest,and the harmful hairiness index and unevenness of the yarn are significantly improved.

棉纤维股线与303钢线接触摩擦磨损行为分析

目的探究棉纺织加工过程中棉纱线对金属表面的摩擦磨损行为。方法通过线接触摩擦磨损试验,分析加载力、预加张力、速度和棉纱线股数等因素对金属表面摩擦磨损性能的影响,采用3D表面轮廓仪表征金属表面形貌随磨损时间的变化特征,基于Archard磨损模型对磨损量进行预测。结果在加载力相同时,棉纱线股数越多,摩擦因数越小;在相同股数下,预加张力对摩擦因数的影响小于加载力,速度对摩擦因数的影响较小。金属表面磨痕深度随着磨损时间的延长而增加,最大磨痕深度为23.158μm,磨损量随着磨痕体积的增大而增加。与磨损24h时相比,在48h时金属磨损严重,磨损量增大了71%;相较于其他磨损时间段,在96 h时磨损量变化较小。在磨损阶段,磨痕面积的变化规律与磨痕体积相似,均与磨损时间呈正相关。在磨损时长达到120 h后,非直接接触区域会发生链式反应,导致损伤面积不断扩大。结论在连续摩擦条件下,棉纱线会对金属表面造成损伤,基于Archard磨损模型的预测结果与试验结果较为一致。
