Definitions

  • the present invention relates to 3D Woven fabric and its method of production.
  • the 3D woven orthogonal fabric comprises of multiple layers of warp yarns interlacing with multiple sets of wefts in orthogonal as well as angular directions forming plain or other weave patterns like twill, drill, satin etc with high mechanical strength.
  • the normal weaving process on any loom, shuttle or shuttle less has three primary mechanisms.
  • the three primary mechanisms which are in three orthogonal directions, are shedding, weft insertion and beating.
  • the warp threads are laid in longitudinal direction, are in large number and in sheet form. The number of threads depends upon the width of the fabric and warp density.
  • Fabric is formed at one end of the warp in the longitudinal direction.
  • the other end of warp sheet is continually being released from multithread package (beam) or from individual packages (creel), as the fabric is being formed.
  • Shedding mechanism splits this warp thread in two sheets. This shedding mechanism is in right angle to the warp sheet. All the threads are drawn through the thread eyes of held wires. The movement is achieved through cam motion, dobby or jacquard.
  • the weft the horizontal thread interlacing the warp threads, is inserted between the two warp sheets formed by the shedding mechanism. This weft insertion is in the width direction of the warp sheet and is perpendicular to the shedding mechanism.
  • the weft thread is inserted by shuttle in conventional looms and by gripper, rapier, airjet or water jet in recent looms.
  • the laid weft is beaten and positioned in the fabric formed at one end of warp sheet.
  • the shed is changed so that all or some of the threads change their position from existing shed to the other shade.
  • a new weft is inserted and beating done: A fabric when produced using a single layer warp results in a sheet-like woven material and is referred to as a woven 2D fabric.
  • the thickness of the fabric is small compared to the length and width. Multiple layered fabrics can be produced on 2-d waving system. Warp threads pass from one layer to other to bind the layers. However, there is a limitation to the number of layers. Also there is no interlacement with the warp in thickness direction of fabric.
  • the weft carriers have to travel longer distance; longer weft is laid in the fabric which is much larger than the length of weft required in the fabric.
  • the shed has to be changed for every orthogonal weft entry. Leno weave cannot be produced.
  • the present invention provides a method to produce orthogonal interlaced 3- dimentional fabric with multiple sets of warp in one direction and multiple wefts inserted in both orthogonal directions.
  • the present invention provides solution to overcome all of the above disadvantages as follows: In this invention the opening is reduced (in few millimetres). This affects the working of the system as bellow
  • the weft carriers do not touch the warp while laying the warp.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un matériau de tissu orthogonal tissé en 3D comprenant de multiples fils de chaîne en couche s'entrelaçant avec deux ensembles de multiples trames dans chaque direction orthogonale, soit s'entrelaçant avec des fils de chaîne, soit posés sans entrelacement avec les fils de chaîne, contribuant à la résistance mécanique du tissu. L'invention concerne un mécanisme de levée de fils de chaîne à disque rotatif permettant de fabriquer un tissu 3D à entrelacement orthogonal hautement intégré présentant une structure de tissage différente. Le système fournit un avantage supplémentaire : l'insertion de deux ensembles de trames orthogonaux sans modifier la foule. La foule peut être modifiée par la rotation du disque pour l'insertion d'un second ensemble de trames. L'insertion de trames peut également être réalisée dans une direction angulaire, renforçant encore la résistance mécanique du tissu. Le matériau du tissu 3D à tissage orthogonal ainsi produit peut ensuite être utilisé comme renforcement de structures composites dans des applications telles que l'aviation, l'industrie automobile, les techniques spatiales etc.
