Description

Complex yarn and by the moisture Control fabric of its manufacturing
Technical field
Present invention relates in general to a kind of complex yarn that is used to form the moisture Control structure.More particularly, what the present invention relates to is the better moisture Control weaving of performance complex yarn, and this yarn comprises the hydrophilic fibre that is embedded in one or more hydrophobic fibre matrix, and transition is gradually wherein arranged between different fiber types.Transition zone starts from the middle place of complex yarn, is gathered at this hydrophilic fibre, is extended to hydrophobic fiber then and accounts for leading outermost layer.In addition, the invention still further relates to moisture Control fabric and clothes, described fabric and clothes are by utilizing single above-mentioned composite spinning yarn or producing with other yarn combination.
Background technology
In recent years, " construction fabric " (being also referred to as " technical fabric ") become very universal in the Application Areas of many commodity circle.The branch of construction fabric particular importance is commonly referred to " moisture Control " fabric like this.Generally speaking, the fabric of the type adopts two kinds or more of fiber types and forms in layer structure, to such an extent as to there is significant difference the both sides of fabric aspect characteristic.Especially each side of fabric presents different performance characteristics and performance with respect to water and steam.Basically constitute by hydrophobic fibre with contacted innermost layer of wearer's health or fabric side, and skin is to be made of hydrophilic fiber substantially.
The lightweight, the reversible cloth that are used for the moisture Control purposes also can be by using the production of " two-wire " knitting technology.In the knitting this fabric of two-wire, two kinds of fibers of hydrophobicity and hydrophily are fed on the knitting knitting needle of a single group, so that each single needle of two bursts of different these groups of yarn process.By to the feeding of hydrophobicity and hydrophilic yarn and the accurate control of configuration, resulting " two-wire " fabric will only show hydrophobic threads on a side, and will show hydrophilic yarn on opposite side.
Major product purposes Application Areas for the moisture Control fabric is, but is not limited to this, sportswear, Work Clothes, underskirt, training clothes and footgear commonly used.At the clothes that are used for the contact movement wearer's body, the moisture Control fabric be play a part to prevent or minimum degree the sweat of gathering is attached on human body and the tissue layer adjacent to wearer's body.The sweat of liquid state or steam attitude form leaves skin surface and through hydrophobic fibre diffusion or wicking, is absorbed by the hydrophilic fibre in the fabric outer then.Sweat body from skin surface and process hydrophobic fibre is absorbed by the skin of hydrophilic fibre, leaves human body then and is evaporated in the surrounding environment.By this way moisture is delivered to surrounding environment from wearer's body,, for the wearer, has then improved the comfortableness of clothes owing to preventing or having reduced formed wet area on skin surface or tissue layer adjacent to skin.In addition,, improved the thermal property of clothes owing to avoided the gathering of sweat on skin surface and contiguous health fabric, make the wearer when low temperature, feel warm and around during the environment higher temperature owing to the evaporative cooling effect feels more nice and cool.
The driving force that makes the water generates of the sweat of liquid freely and gaseous state to transmit by said method is referred to as " pushing away one draws " effect sometimes.That is to say, sweat repelled by the hydrophobic fibre layer and be " pushed " or " wicking " to hydrophilic fiber layer, be absorbed or " drawing " opens at this its sweat.In fact, be driven by skin to the moisture movement of external environment condition by the big psychrometric difference internal layer that attaches wearer's skin and surrounding environment.And,, make its motion become more convenient and make moisture deflect from out health by the structural arrangement of hydrophobicity and hydrophilic fibre.
Although the moisture Control fabric can be produced on loom, the most economical method of such fabric is to produce on warp knitting machine or circular loom.Common selected hydrophobic fibre is formed by polyester, nylon or polyacrylic polymer melt-spun.These fibers can be short fibre yarn, flat continuous multifilament yarn or distortion continuous multifilament yarn.For the fabric hydrophilic side, the most frequently used fiber is based on the modification of nylon polymer.Usually, such nylon polymer provides water-wet behavior at polymerization stage by the nylon polymer chain is produced chemical modification.This step realizes by hydrophilic segment is added in the nylon polymer chain by chemical addition manner as segment, perhaps hydrophilic segment is attached on the nylon polymer chain by the chemical attachment mode as side chain and realizes.Perhaps, nylon fiber be by common hydrophilic fibre after chemical reaction being used on the surface of fiber, perhaps make very much near on the fiber surface hydrophilic parts being attached on the nylon polymer.Some other hydrophilic fibre that is of little use is made by modified polyvinylalcohol, acrylic acid and cellulose acetate ester polymer.And hydrophilic fibre can be a short fibre yarn, flat continuous multifilament yarn, or the form of distortion continuous multifilament yarn.In some cases, cotton and modification cotton yarn also can be used as hydrophilic component.
Though the prior art constructions fabric can easily obtain from the market, they have some defectives, its drawbacks limit the effect of fabric in some Application Areas.One of its great number of issues aspect be included in knitting or fabric manufacture equipment in need to use minimum limit two one threads have two not fabrics of coplanar so that can produce.Use such equipment, consequently product cost is quite high.The example of other problem aspect will be sketched below.
In most of the cases, between hydrophilic fibre that is used for special moisture Control structure and hydrophobic fibre, has significant difference aspect stainability and the COLOR FASTNESS.Since such difference, the DYED FABRICS that is difficult to even may produces hardly even color sometimes.In order to reach satisfied result, then usually must use two or more dyeing types, and dye cycle repeatedly.For the moisture Control fabric, this can significantly increase the cost of dyeing and post processing.
As mentioned above, be to constitute like this based on the moisture Control fabric of prior art, be hydrophobic promptly, and fabric exterior include hydrophilic fibre with the contacted fabric side of wearer's skin surface.Some important use field at the moisture Control fabric will produce a serious problem.Particularly at sportswear with aspect promoting the sale of products, the outer surface of its clothes usually is that wire mark or transfer printing have name, sign and other eye-catching pattern characteristics, can have problems.Because the preferable hydrophilic fibre based on the modification of nylon polymer can make common employed wire mark and transfer printing and Yin Mo not implement well as base material, therefore produce many problems.Consequently, based on prior art the pattern of bright-coloured color is significantly printed on the moisture Control fabric or impossible or expensive.Sandwich-type two-wire knitting needle technology can be improved the red ink paste used for seals problem to a certain extent by forming an interlayer two-wire fabric exterior or forming two fabric side, in its sandwich-type two-wire knitting needle technology, hydrophilic yarn is to be sandwiched between two hydrophobic threads and to be fed on the knitting knitting needle of a single group.Though this can make hydrophobic fibre be placed on fabric exterior, so that it can accept wire mark and transfer printing, in practical operation, have technical barrier, this is because three one threads must be fed into specific order on each single pin.In addition, the yarn that separates skids off from the location in producing and using easily.The accurate location of interlayer yarn texture is not enough can to cause the printing of bluring.
Mechanical performance based on the preferred hydrophobic fibre of modification of nylon polymer comprises abrasion resistance, is usually less than the most frequently used hydrophobic fibre, for example polyester and polypropylene.This will make knitting complexity and make its structure the Application Areas that can successfully use be restricted.
The feel characteristic of normally used hydrophobicity and hydrophilic fibre has sizable difference.Though the interlayer two-wire knit goods to less use does not have problem, most two sides that are generally used for the moisture Control fabric can show very different " feel " or " sensation " according to the fabric face that is touched.This is in some Application Areas, and for example underwear has many defectives.
In the moisture Control textile cutting that the two sides is had obvious different qualities be sewn into clothes, footgear and other uses in the process of product, then must be very careful, to keep the main orientation and the layout of fabric face.If the two sides is reversed in making final products, then resulting product can not effectively be controlled moisture.
The United States Patent (USP) 4 of Hozuma Okada, 621,489 have disclosed the textiles that adopts cladded yarn and make, and this fabric is a breathable, so that the fiber that is contacted with wearer's skin can keep dry all the time substantially, or even from the steam of sweat by wicking the time.Cladded yarn comprises a kind of line filler and a kind of line crust that is made of some hydrophobicity outer fibers that is made of hydrophily internal fiber bundle, and it is round the outer surface of line filler, to such an extent as to surround internal fiber basically fully.
Summary of the invention
Main purpose of the present invention provides a kind of structure complex yarn with hydrophilic and hydrophobic two specific characters, and it can use separately or be used in combination with other hydrophobic threads, to produce efficient moisture Control fabric.Another object of the present invention is to make complex yarn form knitting and woven moisture Control fabric, its complex yarn comprises the hydrophilic fibre that is embedded in the hydrophobic fibre matrix, and this complex yarn can use separately or be used in combination with one or more hydrophobic threads.The moisture Control fabric that is obtained thus fabric with prior art aspect control moisture is the same or better, its overcome basically be defined in above-mentioned based on the moisture Control yarn of prior art and the defective of fabric effect.
The present invention is by using the air-entangled texturing machine to realize above-mentioned purpose, and it forms complex yarn by the hydrophilic yarn of a kind of multifilament is embedded into a kind of multifilament hydrophobic threads in jet entanglement or the anamorphic attachment for cinemascope.By accurate control feed to give rate, air pressure and enter into two kinds of separation yarn of aerojet relative hello to tension force, the complex yarn that comes out from the air-entangled machine has such form, be that hydrophilic fibre concentrates on its core substantially, and hydrophobic fibre concentrate on around it substantially.The obvious distinguishable region of in the complex yarn that is obtained, hydrophobic surface fiber and hydrophilic core fiber not being separated.On the contrary, the outer surface of complex yarn is made up of hydrophobic fibre basically, and hydrophilic fibre is the central authorities that concentrate on complex yarn.The transition zone of mixture that comprises hydrophily and hydrophobic fibre is between the central authorities and outer surface of complex yarn.
Have now found that, on the cross section of complex yarn, have the hydrophobicity and the hydrophily filament cross of tight mixing, thereby the transfer velocity that the hydrophobic fibre that can make moisture process periphery enters into the concentrated hydrophilic fibre of central authorities is for example taught the skin/core complex yarn for preparing according to above-mentioned Okada patent more faster than traditional.In the similar mode, the tight Mixed Zone of hydrophily and hydrophobic fibre has been quickened moisture and has been passed hydrophobic fibre with the form hydrophilic fibre internally of steam and transfer in the outside atmosphere.
In the moisture Control fabric of complex yarn of the present invention, the zone that hydrophily and hydrophobic fibre mix in the yarn cross section is crucial for good characteristic.It is tightly twined by hydrophobic fibre by hydrophilic core fiber in the skin/core moisture complex yarn that compares prior art and can be understood.In such yarn, hydrophobic fibre is directly proportional with the radius squared of the hydrophilic fibre bundle that is in core with interface between the hydrophilic fibre.For complex yarn of the present invention, the mixing resultant of the independent long filament of hydrophobicity and hydrophilic fibre forms an in fact bigger interface zone.Its interface zone increases that to produce be because in the Mixed Zone of complex yarn, better square being directly proportional of the interface of long filament and radius separately of hydrophobicity and hydrophilic fibre.The increase of the interface zone between hydrophobicity and the hydrophilic component can not increase the moisture total amount that can be absorbed by complex yarn.Yet the increase at interface can make to absorb the power increase, so that the transfer of moisture becomes faster and more effective in the moisture Control fabric.
Pledge clothes when being affixed on wearer's skin surface, this distinctive complex yarn structure can cause sweat moisture from the effective and quick core sucting action of the contacted outer hydrophobic fiber of skin surface to the inner hydrophilic fiber.Leaving on the garment surface of wearer's body, moisture hydrophilic fibre internally passes the outer hydrophobic fiber and is evaporated in the extraneous air.
In a kind of two-sided moisture Control fabric, complex yarn of the present invention replaces being in the moisture Control fabric hydrophilic yarn on the fabric face at home and abroad based on prior art.The one side of the reversible cloth that is obtained is made of hydrophobic threads, and relative one side then only is made up of complex yarn of the present invention, or combines with hydrophobic threads.With the clothes of wearer's the contacted moisture Control of skin, or in other final articles for use, from the moisture of sweat from skin surface through the hydrophobic fibre of fabric layer and pass through subsequently outer complex yarn peripheral hydrophobic matrices and to the inner hydrophilic fiber.Final moisture passes the hydrophily peripheral fibres of complex yarn and is evaporated to the outside atmosphere from hydrophilic fibre.
By in moisture Control fabric and clothes, using its specific structure composite hydrophilic/hydrophobic threads of the present invention, the problem that produces in the time of can eliminating above-mentioned fabric of producing based on prior art and clothes.To summarize these significantly improved reasons in the part below.
Be embedded in the hydrophobic fibre matrix in the complex yarn of the present invention with hydrophilic fibre colourless, dim or neutral color, they dying hydrophobic fiber can only be made and hydrophilic fibre does not dye, because will be hidden by the hydrophobic fibre of outside basically.Equally, if a kind of fiber, as polyester fiber, as hydrophobic components, this will be in acceptant wire mark of yarn and fabric face place and transfer printing.By the same token, the fabric feeling characteristic will depend primarily on the hydrophobic fibre of complex yarn surface.In addition, the mechanical property of fabric, for example ABRASION RESISTANCE will mainly be controlled by the hydrophobic components of complex yarn structure.
Another advantage that the present invention is better than prior art is based on the distinctive characteristic of above-mentioned complex yarn, makes the moisture Control fabric to be made by single complex yarn.This feature of the present invention makes with respect to using more simple and knitting needle equipment and program become possibility cheaply when the yarn demand of using desired two or more separation of above-mentioned technology in the prior art.According to employed knitting needle technology, the two sides of the moisture Control fabric that is obtained is identical.This is very significant advantage for the present invention, because fabric has the face of exchange, final articles for use are desired to be cut and make the mistake that can wrongly not make fabric side in the operation and take place the operator producing.The single-yarn textile of producing by using complex yarn of the present invention exposes on the two sides identical hydrophobic fibre is arranged.In clothes, hydrophobic fibre is directly to contact with wearer's skin.Sweat is wicked in the space of complex yarn apace, and the hydrophilic fibre that is embedded in the hydrophobic fibre matrix at this its sweat absorbs.Moisture passes hydrophobic fibre and transfers to outside fabric face subsequently, passes outside hydrophobic fibre at this moisture from hydrophilic fibre evaporation and steam and reaches the extraneous air.Because moisture moves on to the low humidity of extraneous air from the high humility of skin surface, its water transport can produce identical effect, has nothing to do and be exposed in the air with which face of Body contact of which face of fabric and wearer.
Similar to the prior art constructions fabric, complex yarn of the present invention is very useful in the product of two sides moisture Control fabric.Yet in utilizing such fabric of complex yarn of the present invention, complex yarn replaces using at ready-made clothes away from the hydrophilic yarn according to prior art in the fabric outer of health.According to desired effect on the clothes of structure moisture Control fabric and final use, for the two sides of reversible cloth, complex yarn of the present invention can be used alone or be used in combination with hydrophobic threads.When complex yarn of the present invention was used to produce reversible cloth, hydrophobic fibre was to be on the internal layer and outer field surface of finished product fabric.Consequently, transfer printing or wire mark can be implemented on arbitrary of the fabric two sides or two sides, therefore the printing of complex figure and bright gorgeous colour image can show on arbitrary of ready-made clothes or two sides clearly, and do not have wire mark and be transferred to mainly by hydrophilic fibre, related challenge on the surface that is constituted as modification of nylon base fiber.
Above-mentioned purpose, feature and advantage with other of the present invention will become clearer according to reading the following detailed description and claim and looking round accompanying drawing.

The specific embodiment
The invention provides a kind of complex yarn, it is by hydrophobicity and two kinds of fiber be combined intos of hydrophily, wherein hydrophilic fibre is the inside that concentrates on yarn, hydrophobic fibre is to concentrate on its yarn periphery, and the mixing of two kinds of filament types is in yarn central authorities and its zone line between outside.The present invention also provides efficient moisture Control fabric, described fabric is by only using composite yarn of the present invention thread, or by using hydrophobic threads and using composite yarn of the present invention thread away from the fabric side of wearer's body in the fabric side that contacts with wearer's body.In addition, the present invention also provides so efficient moisture Control fabric, promptly only use complex yarn of the present invention to make, or with fabric side that wearer's body contacts on use hydrophobic threads and on away from the fabric side of wearer's body, use the complex yarn of the present invention that is tied with one or more hydrophobic threads to make.Similarly, complex yarn of the present invention can be tied with one or more hydrophobic threads and be used for production moisture Control fabric and need not other yarn.
Annular region is crucial and is the exclusive feature of the present invention in the complex yarn cross section, and wherein the mixing of hydrophilic fibre and hydrophobic fibre is to be between inner hydrophilic fibre of concentrating and the peripheral hydrophobic fibre of concentrating.In traditional core-skin complex yarn, have between hydrophobic fibre in the cross section of yarn and the hydrophilic fibre clearly to change.Consequently, moisture must cross the hydrophilic fibre infiltration from hydrophobic fibre through this interface, thereby is limited significantly.Because the zone of the mixing of hydrophobic fibre and hydrophilic fibre is provided in compound cross section, and complex yarn of the present invention has increased the zone of every interface unit length greatly, moisture must be by its zone by the hydrophilic fibre osmotic absorption.The increase of the interface zone of this per unit length is worked to the motion of water transport and is made and to have improved transfer rate and effect.
The hydrophilic fibre component of complex yarn of the present invention can be a kind of continuous flat polyfilament yarn, a kind of continuous textured multifilament yarn yarn or a kind of form of short fiber yarn.Hydrophobic fibre also can be a kind of continuous flat polyfilament yarn, a kind of continuous textured multifilament yarn yarn or a kind of form of short fiber yarn.If yet hydrophobic fibre is the form with short fiber yarn, very careful in the distortion of formation compound tense, to avoid the disconnection of short fiber yarn.In addition, for the Application Areas of ask for something high abrasion fastness, preferred form is that hydrophobic components is a kind of continuous flat or textured multifilament yarn yarn.
Fig. 1 is the zoomed-in view of expression typical cross section profile, is the view when the longitudinal axis of its cross section and the complex yarn of being represented by Reference numeral 3 generally of the present invention meets at right angles.Hydrophily long filament 1 usefulness has the circle of opening of shade and represents, hydrophobicity long filament 2 then has is not with the circle of opening of shade to represent.Can see that from accompanying drawing 1 the hydrophily long filament is to concentrate near the center of cross section, and the hydrophobicity long filament concentrates on around the complex yarn.Hydrophily and the hydrophobicity long filament zone line place between complex yarn central authorities and periphery can clearly see mixed, and does not have tangible interface.
Fig. 2 represents is along the enlarged side view of the y direction of complex yarn 3 of the present invention and shows hydrophily long filament 1 and concentrate near the yarn core, and is centered on by the matrix of hydrophobicity long filament 2.Be similar to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 shows the situation of mixing of hydrophilic fibre and hydrophobic fibre in the zone line between the central authorities of complex yarn and its outer surface.In addition, the schematic diagram of Fig. 2 represented longitudinal axis hydrophobic fibre 2 along complex yarn 3 from the yarn periphery to shifting along the transport zone of the main mixing of middle section and the gradual change that enters in the middle section, location hydrophilic fibre 1 is concentrated in the central.Similarly, hydrophilic fibre is at the middle section of complex yarn 3 and concentrated between the periphery that hydrophilic fibre 2 is arranged and shift.This in yarn the physical exchange of position of fibers have and quicken the effect of water transport in the hydrophilic fibre 1 that concentrates on complex yarn central authorities.
According to final use, for obtain required optimal mechanical properties and comfortableness in the moisture Control fabric, the percentage by weight of hydrophilic fibre can change in upper limit 60-75% scope at lower limit 8-10%.In addition, consider that wish to avoid using than for obtaining the best required more hydrophilic fibre of amount of moisture Control characteristic, this is because the cost of hydrophilic fibre is higher than the hydrophobic fibre cost far away in fabric construction from economic angle.
Hydrophilic fibre content in the moisture Control fabric of the present invention can be used for the hydrophobic fibre of complex yarn production of the present invention and the ratio of hydrophilic fibre changes by adjustment.Yet, in practice, usually more economical is that the standard complex yarn of the present invention of the hydrophilic fibre content production some that employing is fixing is incorporated in the hydrophilic yarn content of adjusting in the complex yarn in the product moisture control fabric by one or more hydrophobic threads subsequently.Fig. 3 shows the enlarged side view of complex yarn 3 of the present invention, its complex yarn possess hydrophilic property fiber 1 and hydrophobic fibre 2, and it is wound with the continuous multifilament hydrophobic threads 4 that is made of 100% hydrophobicity long filament basically.In a similar fashion, Fig. 4 has schematically illustrated the enlarged side view of the complex yarn of the present invention 3 that is tied with two continuous multifilament hydrophobic threads 4 that are made of 100% hydrophobicity long filament basically respectively and 5.Different with desired effect in the moisture Control fabric according to the complex yarn that is wound, two hydrophobic threads 4 and 5 can be identical or inequality.For example, a kind of hydrophobic threads is based on polyester and another kind is based on polypropylene.In addition, in order to obtain to have the fabric of soft feel and high abrasion fastness, complex yarn of the present invention can be tied with a kind ofly has the polyester yarn that monofilament constituted of common Denier range in 1.5 to 3 DENIER, and the other yarn that is tied with is made of little monofilament of number fiber numbers far below 1 DENIER.
Hydrophilic fibre content can also be adjusted by the line of the knitting hydrophobic threads that replaces the line of complex yarn 3 of the present invention and use together in the moisture Control fabric.
The schematic diagram of Fig. 5 has been represented the amplification view by the jersey of of the present invention single complex yarn 3 productions that contain hydrophilic fibre 1 and hydrophobic fibre 2.Because its specific structure and the characteristic of complex yarn of the present invention, this simple fabric construction can be effectively from the high humidity environment of wearer's skin surface absorb sweat and subsequently the moisture that is absorbed internally the hydrophilic fibre hydrophobic matrices fiber that passes through relative fabric side place be evaporated to the environment that ambient conditions is a low humidity.Comparison shows that with fabric it is very good that fabric of the present invention makes moisture be sent to airborne effect from wearer's skin, and with which fabric side to be contacted with health irrelevant based on prior art.In addition, because the outer surface on fabric two sides is made of water-repellent fabrics basically, therefore the clothes based on single complex yarn fabric are easy to carrying out wire mark and pattern transferring on the face of fabric or on two faces.
The hydrophobic fibre that uses in the complex yarn of the present invention the most important thing is to have lower regain.Preferred hydrophobic fibre comes autopolyester or nylon polymer in moisture Control fabric and the clothes to being mainly used at present.Other hydrophobic fibre that can be used in complex yarn of the present invention comprises based on following fiber: polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and polyacrylonitrile polymer.Though the moisture Control fabric of majority and at present in the clothes of commercial use preferably based on the hydrophobic fibre of polyester and a spot of nylon polymer, but when being used for special application field, actual selected hydrophobic fibre must be selected on the basis of economic and final application need.
The hydrophilic fibers that uses in the complex yarn of the present invention must have higher regain.Preferred hydrophilic fibers is based on the nylon 6 or nylon 66 polymer of modification.A kind of useful especially modification of nylon 6 fibers are fibers of commodity " Hydrofil " by name.AlliedSignal Co. is the developer the earliest and the supplier of this product; But it is by Universal Fiber Systems, LLC production and supply now.Other can be used to, and hydrophilic component comprises that commodity are called the product of the nylon of " Quup " and " Hygra " in the complex yarn of the present invention.The Toray Nylon of Japan, Ltd. produces continuous multifilament yarn by melt-spun modification of nylon 6." Hygra " equally also Japan produces and provides.This is a kind of skin/core bicomponent fiber, and wherein the skin of single continuous multifilament yarn is made up of hydrophobic nylon 6, and core is made up of hydrophilic modification of nylon 6 yarns.This fiber is by Unitika Fibers, the Ltd production and supply.The hydrophilic fibers of some other less attention comprises: cotton, cellulose ethanoate short fiber yarn and long filament, artificial fibre, flax, modified acroleic acid and modified polyvinylalcohol.
As mentioned above, complex yarn of the present invention is made up of the hydrophilic fibre that is embedded in the hydrophobic fibre matrix.According to effect desired in the finished product, hydrophilic fibre can be to be flat continuous filament yarn, distortion continuous filament yarn, or the form of short fiber yarn.The hydrophobic matrices component also can be the form that is flat continuous filament yarn or distortion continuous filament yarn; Use but the form of short fiber yarn is seldom special-purpose, because the air flow jetting in air-entangled equipment often makes short fiber yarn disconnect.
Though other method also is feasible, being used for preparing the preferred technology of composite yarn of the present invention is that two kinds of fibers are passed an air current spray nozzle that often uses at the air jet texturing spinning equipment together.Peripheral concentrated for guaranteeing hydrophilic fibers towards the center hydrophobic fibre towards the composite yarn that forms, necessary accurately control yarn feeding speed.This purpose is by feeding hydrophilic fibers under Tension Control, and hydrophobic fibre is gone into to realize by overfeeding.Being used to produce the jet yarn Texturing Machines that composite yarn of the present invention uses can be provided by many Weaving device suppliers.Comprise the ICBT of France, the Staehle and the gondola Menegatto of Germany.Fig. 6 has described typical hydrophobic fibre and hydrophilic fibre for example by the route in the air jet texturing machinery that above-mentioned supplier provided.
In Fig. 6, a kind of active thread feeder is fed into hydrophily multifilament continuous yarn 1 in the jet cave 9 of air jet texturing device through feeding guiding piece 8 with the tension force of fixing speed and control.One overfeeding pulls out hydrophobicity polyfilament yarn 2 and than being used for higher the feeding to speed of hydrophilic yarn its process is fed guiding piece 8 and is fed into jet cave 9 from the end of supplying with package for device.Must adjust the hydrophilic yarn that fed and the relative weight ratio of hydrophobic threads, be 8% so that final complex yarn will contain the hydrophilic fibre percentage by weight minimum, and no more than 75%.To a certain extent, feeding is adjusted and can be gone into to reach 60% hydrophobic fibre by overfeeding and constitute.In addition, adjustment can constitute by the hydrophilic yarn DENIER number (be size) different with hydrophobic threads of selecting to be used to produce complex yarn.Outlet in jet cave 9, complex yarn is by HEAT SETTING device 10.At last, coiler device 11 is wound up into complex yarn on the yarn tube 12.
Along with hydrophilic yarn 1 and hydrophobic threads 2 are passed jet cave, air flow at a high speed remains on 9 places, jet cave, because feeding control device 6 has been controlled tension force, the hydrophily long filament can keep their integrality substantially.The single monofilament of the hydrophobic threads 2 of overfeeding is blown open fiercely by the air flow in jet cave.Therefore, because the tension force effect, the hydrophily long filament is concentrated near the complex yarn central authorities and central authorities of coming out from jet cave, and the hydrophobicity long filament concentrates on the periphery.
When thermoplastic fibre is out of shape in an air-jet loom or other distortion spinning equipment, fiber when leaving the deformed region of machine by HEAT SETTING.Fig. 6 has represented to be in a HEAT SETTING chamber 10 of air pocket 9 belows.Yet if when being generally used for polyester or some other hydrophobic fibre and being subjected to the temperature of HEAT SETTING, the hydrophilic fibre of being made by the modification of nylon polymer may melt.Therefore, when preparation composite yarn of the present invention, must reduce to minimum to the temperature of thermal fixation and the time of staying.For some hydrophobic fibre and hydrophilic fibers composite yarn, can not be under the situation of not damaging hydrophilic fibre the hydrophobic components in the thermal fixation composite yarn fully.May produce quality composite yarn preferably in these cases, at first distortion and HEAT SETTING hydrophobic components allow predeformation hydrophobic fibre and hydrophilic fibre by the air jet texturing spinning equipment then, and the HEAT SETTING zone do not apply temperature yet.In addition, according to the operating characteristic of needs in composite yarn, can preferably make hydrophilic yarn and hydrophobic threads and hydrophobic threads process air jet deformation machine and non-HEAT SETTING.When needs obtained a kind of composite yarn of special lightweight, this point was effective especially.
