Abstract:

In order to reduce the energy consumption of the auxiliary nozzle, enhance the bundling of the air jet and improve the production efficiency and fabric quality, the influences of structural parameters of the auxiliary nozzle and the supply pressure on the characteristics of flow field were studied. The numerical simulation of three-dimensional flow field model were carried by fluid dynamics software Fluent. Three typical auxiliary nozzle structures under different gas supply pressures were investigated, such as the single circular hole, regular triangular hole and star hole. The velocity contours of the symmetry planes, the central axis speed, the air consumption and the weft insertion stability were acquired under the air supply pressure of 0.2 MPa to 0.4 MPa. The numerical results of the central line velocity and the radial velocity of the single circular hole were verified by experiment. Comparisons between these two results indicate that the overall trend of speed change is consistent with the experimental results. On this basis, the influence of different orifice type auxiliary nozzles on the flow field was explored. The results showed that when the air supply pressure is same, the star-hole auxiliary nozzle has better airflow bundling, better weft insertion stability and less air consumption.
