Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method and apparatus for treating a yarn with high velocity fluid to increase the bulk of said yarn. More particularly, it concerns texturing yarn while maintaining a baffle in closely spaced relation to the exit of a fluid jet device by a balance of fluid forces.
  • Certain fluid jet processes for bulking or texturing yarn have employed plates positioned at various distances from the jet exit and at various angles to the yarn path to deflect the yarn and fluid from a straight path. Such a plate may be useful for separating the air from the yarn, for reducing the tension on the yarn while it is in the turbulent jet to improve the bulking action and to control the uniformity of the yarn product. These plates normally are in a fixed position relative to the jet during operation.
  • the present invention provides a method and apparatus to automatically adjust for such small variations in initial settings and thus hold to a minimum variations in operability and texturing from position-to-position.
  • yarn 1 enters a jet device 2 through yarn entrance passage 3.
  • Compressed air or other fluid at room temperature enters jet device 2 through pipe 4 and impinges on yarn l at the entrance to treatment channel 5 where the yarn and high velocity fluid travel together to the exit 6 of the treatment channel which has a cross-sectional area 14.
  • baffle plate 8 which in this instance is pivoted to swing freely about hinge point 9.
  • Surrounding exit 6 is end surface 7 of jet device 2.
  • FIG. 2 shows the exit end of a jet device in greater detail.
  • the yarn l and the texturing fluid impinge on baffle plate 8, they exert a certain force F tending to push baffle plate 8 away from the jet exit.
  • the fluid divides and flows away from exit 6 through the space between end surface 7 and baffle plate 8.
  • the velocity of this fluid flow will depend chiefly upon the flow rate of the fluid, the distance between the baffle plate and end surface 7 and the cross-sectional area of the flow path. Due to its velocity, the exiting fluid will have a dynamic pressure lower than atmospheric, in compliance with the Bernouilli Principle.
  • area 13 is very small, force F acting over area 14 will predominate and will push the baffle plate away from the jet. However, it has been found that if area 13 exceeds area 14, the algebraic sum of F and F will usually be lower than the force F exerted by atmospheric pressure on the outer side of the baffle plate, and F will move the baffle plate toward the jet until it reaches a position of equilibrium.
  • area 13 should be more than twice area 14 to'maintain a substantial excess of force holding the baffle near the jet, so that the baffle is not likely to be knocked away from the jet accidently.
  • transparent circular baffle 8 is smaller than outlet end surface 7 of the jet.
  • area 13 mutually shared by end surface 7 and bafile 8 over which the reduced pressure acts, is seen to be appreciably larger than the cross-sectional area 14 of the yarn treatment channel or passage exit 6.
  • FIG. 4 shows an alternate position of baffle plate 8.
  • the baffle when in the equilibrium position may unduly restrict the passage of the yarn.
  • hinge point 9 may be moved closer to jet device 2 so that baffle plate 8 contacts jet device 2 at point 10, thus providing a means for limiting the travel of baffle plate 8 toward the outlet end of the jet and providing a wedge shaped space for yarn and air to exit.
  • the included angle a between the baffle and outlet end of the jet should not exceed 7.
  • the alternate ways of limiting the travel of baffle plate 8toward jet device 2, such as bending the baffle or inserting a stop screw in jet device 2 are readily apparent.
  • FIG. 2 shows a baffle plate considerably larger than the end surface 7 of jet device 2.
  • the end surface 7 of jet device 2 may be very large and the area of the baffle plate adjacent to the exit area may be re-- Jerusalem to adjust the position of equilibrium as in FIG. 3.
  • the position of equilibrium may be varied by varying such factors as the fluid flow rate, the yarn mass, the yarn velocity, area 14 of passage exit 6, the end surface 7 of jet device 2, the area of the baffle plate 8 and the angle between the baffle plate and the end surface of the jet device.
  • the jet device has a small projection 11 surrounding exit 6 of treatment channel 5.
  • the fluid force F in this instance will be the sum of a first force due to the flow of fluid between the end of projection 11, a very small area and the baffle plate and a second force due to the flow of fluid through the wider gap of much larger area between surface 12 and the baffle plate.
  • the equilibrium position usually varies to some extent during operation as the fluid forces and particularly the impact of the yarn on the baffle plate 8 vary, causing some oscillation of the baffle plate. Such oscillation may be damped, if desired, by such means as increasing the mass of baffle plate 8 or other usual engineering means for avoiding resonant conditions.
  • the baffle plate may, for example, be a disc free to float toward and away from jet device 2, subject only to caging or similar restraint to restrict its movement to the desired operating range.
  • the baffle may be an object other than a flat plate, for example, a sphere of sufficient diameter to form a narrow gap with the end of the jet device and of sufficient mutual area 13 at the gap to produce an adequate low pressure zone for maintaining an equilibrium condition.
  • the outlet end surface of the jet may be of shapes other than flat to obtain desired fluid flow conditions in the gap and to control the movement of yarn through the gap.
  • the jet device may also be operated in any position provided that area 13 be adjusted to compensate for the force of gravity on baffle object 8, or that counterdesigned so that the sphere may float freely and maintain position by aerodynamic forces alone without a mechanical restraint.
  • End surface 7 is usually perpendicular to the axis of treatment channel 5, but other angles may be employed.
  • the invention has improved the texturing of other materials such as glass, polyamide, polyester and rayon yarns in single end, parallel and core (differential feed rate) texturing in a wide range of deniers using either dry or wet feed yarns.
  • invention has been disclosed using fluid at room temperature, fluid at elevated temperatures may also be used.
  • a yarn treating apparatus including a jet having inlet and outlet ends connected by a passage through which yarn together with fluid passes for treatment, the improvement comprising: a baffle mounted adjacent to said outlet end for free movement toward and away from said outlet end, said baffle having a surface facing said outlet end, said baffle surface defining with said outlet end a mutually shared area greater in area than the cross-sectional area of the passage at said outlet end.
  • balancing be provided when a hinge point 9 is em- 0 jet at a location of equilibrium for the baffle at said ployed.
  • the jet exit may be
