The influence of the friction field on accelerating position distribution

Abstract

In accordance with the tenets of displacement deviation theory, the distribution of accelerating positions was the main reason for the uneven output sliver. To elucidate this phenomenon, a dynamic drafting model with controllable fiber proportion was developed in this paper to simulate the accelerating process of the floating fiber. The model was employed to investigate the impact of the friction field on the distribution of accelerating positions, achieved through the manipulation of friction field distribution and fiber proportion in the drafting zone. The simulation results indicated that, with various drafting conditions, the friction field at the position with a higher slow fiber proportion always made the accelerating position distribution closer to the front roller. In addition, the duration of the friction field influence on the fiber floating process was found to be directly proportional to its effect on the accelerating position distribution. Furthermore, there was a critical slow fiber proportion, which increased in tandem with the augmentation of slow fiber proportions in the drafting zone. The friction field at the position where the proportion of slow fibers was higher than the critical slow fiber proportion made the accelerating position distribution closer to the front roller; otherwise, the friction field made the accelerating position distribution closer to the back roller. This study can offer a valuable reference for designing more effective friction field distribution to improve the output sliver quality.
