Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for aerodynamic texturing of yarn with a Texturing nozzle with a continuous yarn channel, at one end of which the yarn is fed and is discharged at the other end as a textured yarn, with a middle Section compressed air with a feed pressure of more than four bar fed into the yarn channel and in a widening acceleration channel the blast air jet to supersonic is accelerated.
  • the invention further relates to a texturing nozzle, a nozzle core Nozzle head and its use, with a continuous, a compressed air supply having yarn channel, on one side of the yarn can be fed, and on the other side the texturing is feasible.
  • Two types of texturing nozzles have largely become available in air-jet texturing technology enforced. These can be differentiated according to the type of compressed air supply to the yarn channel become.
  • One is the air-jet texturing nozzle based on the radial principle. Doing so the compressed air is supplied via one or more, mainly radially arranged air channels, e.g. according to EP-A-0 088 254. Texturing nozzles according to the radial principle have their Area of application above all for yarns that tend to have lower overdeliveries of less than 100% require. In special cases, with so-called fancy yarns, up to 200% tradition are allowed.

Texturing nozzles after up to 300% of the axial principle are used, especially with very high traditions even used up to 500% successfully. Differentiate between the two corresponding practical solutions also particularly due to the configuration of the nozzle opening in the area of the nozzle outlet.
  • the solution according to EP-A-0 441 925 has a nozzle opening before the exit end corresponding to a Laval nozzle.

  • the air speed in the nozzle opening can be raised bump-free above the sound limit, provided the air pressure is on the narrowest part of the Laval nozzle above a critical pressure ratio.
  • Laval already had recognized that when the air pressure is reduced, even in an ideal nozzle, the border zone the speed increase in the nozzle. It can be a bump front form with the known shock waves. In most fields of fluid engineering compression shocks are avoided if possible.
  • the texturing process is more complex in that not only a supersonic flow with a gas is required, but at the same time, the yarn is fed through the middle of the nozzle and processed through the butting front becomes.
  • GB-A 839 493 proposes a very special nozzle structure with at least two Pipe inserts.
  • the first tube insert has a slightly smaller diameter than the inside diameter of the second one, such that one between the two pipe inserts Inlet gap for the compressed air is created.
  • the second tube insert extends up to one expanding occasion. This will make the transition between the second pipe insert and the expanding outlet creates an abrupt cross-sectional expansion and a Supersonic flow prevented.

  • Another aspect of the task was to create existing systems with minimal effort, be it in terms of quality and / or performance.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that the yarn tension at a product speed of over 400 m / min. increases and the thread tension ratio is optimized to yarn speed in that the blown air jet in the Acceleration channel is accelerated to a speed greater than Mach 2, with the yarn tension of a given yarn quality over a large production speed range is about constant.
  • the invention further relates to a texturing nozzle, a nozzle core or nozzle head with a continuous yarn channel with an accelerating channel widening on the outlet side and a compressed air supply (P) into the yarn channel, on one side of which yarn can be fed and on the other side of which textured yarn can be drawn off, and is thereby characterized in that the acceleration-effective section adjoining the compressed air bores of the acceleration channel is designed continuously as a supersonic channel, and a length (l 2 ) of more than 11 ⁇ 2 times the diameter (d) at the start of the acceleration channel and a total opening angle ( ⁇ 2 ) greater than 10 ° and less than 40 °.

  • the Generation of an air speed in the high Mach range within the Acceleration channel does two things. First, the individual filaments become stronger opened and torn into the nozzle with greater force. The texturing breaks up to maximum speeds no longer together. Second, the whole Filament composite evenly and directly into the inside of clear outer channel boundaries Frontal zone led.
