Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to theoretically study the effects of ring spinning triangle division on spun yarn torques.
Design/methodology/approach
The case that the spinning triangle is divided into two parts, primary triangles and final triangle, is investigated. Theoretical model of yarn torque was given by linking the fiber tension in the spinning triangle to yarn torque under the assumption that the arrangement of fibers (substrands) in the substrands (yarn) is hexagonal close packing. Then, as an application of the proposed method, 14.6tex cotton yarns were taken as an example for the numerical simulations.
Findings
The fiber tensions in the divided spinning triangles and corresponding yarn torques were simulated numerically by using MATLAB software. The effects of division proportions and number of primary triangles on spun yarn torques are analyzed theoretically.
Originality/value
It is shown that suitable spinning triangle division is benefit for reducing yarn torque.
