In the wave of the textile industry's pursuit of "cost reduction and efficiency improvement", the performance bottleneck of mechanical equipment has become a key constraint on development. China's textile machinery has long faced two major pain points: low operating speed and high average energy consumption.
When traditional metal components are hard-pressed to break through physical limits, a kind of "black gold" - carbon fiber composite materials - is bringing effective decision-making solutions to the industry with its characteristics of being "as light as a feather and stronger than steel".
Advantages of carbon fiber components
As the shuttleless loom continues to evolve towards higher rotational speeds and wider widths (with the spray hole chamber rotating at 1700 rpm and the loom width reaching up to 2 meters), the problem of the traditional metal frame becoming deformed has become increasingly prominent.
The carbon fiber composite frame, with its lightweight and high rigidity characteristics, effectively resolves the deformation problem of the long-strip loom. Moreover, after changing the core from a steel tube to a carbon fiber composite tube, not only has the weight been significantly reduced, but also the efficiency of inserting and removing the paper tubes has been improved, significantly reducing the labor intensity of the workers.
02 Carbon Fiber Reinforced Nylon Gears
The traditional gears used in textile machinery are mainly pure nylon gears. These traditional gears have low strength, poor fatigue resistance, short service life, and high maintenance costs. In contrast, the Fusheng carbon fiber reinforced nylon gears can be called a "all-round player": Safety upgrade: Excellent anti-static effect, significantly reducing fire risks. Performance upgrade: High strength, good toughness, tensile strength close to yield strength, improved impact absorption capacity, significant improvement in wear resistance and self-lubrication. Experience upgrade: Weight reduction, noise reduction by 30%, energy consumption reduction by 20%, good fatigue resistance, and resistance to erosion by gasoline, oil, weak alkalis, etc.
The carbon fiber rollers, as one of the main operating components of textile machinery, have a significant impact on the overall performance of the machinery and directly affect the quality and stability of the products.
Most traditional rollers are made of steel, which is heavy and energy-consuming. To meet the requirements of increased speed, the wall thickness must be constantly increased, resulting in a series of drawbacks. Carbon fiber rollers can meet the requirements of light weight, high speed, good rigidity, small deformation, and low energy consumption.
From a long-term application perspective, carbon fiber composite materials possess high stiffness, excellent fatigue resistance, and the characteristic of not easily deforming. They have a longer service life and, to a certain extent, reduce equipment maintenance costs.
The existing carbon fiber slot needle bed of the 04 carbon fiber slot needle bed machine generally has two types of needle bed structures: The needle bed is a complete metal component, and the time interval of this needle bed will change under the influence of temperature variations.
When the needle spacing changes inconsistently, the scratching of needles will occur, affecting the working quality during weaving; The other structure's needle bed is made of carbon fiber composite materials, and the slot needle bed base is laminated from carbon fiber prepreg.
