Abstract:

In order to improve the speed and stability of weft insertion system of air-jet looms, the k-ε expression in the Reynolds time average equation was used to simulate the resultant flow field of three different relay nozzles,i.e. a single circular hole, a regular triangular hole and a star-shaped hole,in the profiled reed. Under the air supply pressure of 0.2-0.4 MPa and the different auxiliary spray spacing, the combined flow field was simulated revealing the jet velocity and velocity nephogram along the central axis of the flow field. The results show that when the pressure is the same, the velocity of the central axis of the resultant flow field of the triangle hole relay nozzle is the highest, and it has the largest traction force on the yarn; the velocity of the central axis of the resultant flow field of the star-shaped hole relay nozzle is the smallest, and the weft insertion stability is the best. It was also found that the velocity fluctuation of the central axis of the single circular hole relay nozzle is the largest, and the spacing is more than 70 mm, which is not suitable for weft insertion. Several groups of relay nozzles are used for the width of the whole fabric, and the action timing of each group of nozzles were synchronized. Because the useful jet length is not long, the interval between the nozzles should not be too long in order to realize the relay weft insertion.

Key words: air jet loom, relay nozzle, profiled reed, synthetic flow field, numerical simulation, star-shaped nozzle
