INVESTIGATION OF NEW COTTON RING AND TRAVELLER

A new Ω type cotton ring and traveller is introduced.The idea of its design is based on thefacts that running travellers deviate from normal profile in three coordinate directions and such adeviation can be utilized when the balloon expands.The contact between ring and traveller at outerrace can be increased to prevent the balloon from expanding and the traveller from continuous in-clination.Consequently,the wear of inner corner of ring can be reduced.This proves the maincourse of deterioration of ring.With small sized balloon,the outer contact diminishes.The yarntension is thus adjusted and average tension is cut down.Experiments on 13 and 29 texcotton-polyester yarn spinning prove the above idea correct.With the wear of ring greatly reduced,running life is more than doubled,end breakage rate falls 30% and power consumption falls 2%.The economic profit,estimated by pilot test,is an increase of production 6.1% and 130,000 YuanRenminbi per ten thousand apindles each year.
