Determining the rational structure of multilayer technical fabric for woven power clamps

Abstract

The object of research is multi-layered technical fabrics for woven power clamps. A task to determine the rational structure of a multi-layer technical fabric for power clamps has been solved, which makes it possible to achieve an effect when introduced into production through the minimization of raw material costs and the reduction of energy costs for manufacturing a unit of products. The value of the beating force, the tension of warp threads of the outer protective layers, the force layers, the warp threads for connecting the outer protective layers, and the force layers for two structures of multilayer technical fabric were studied. A comparative analysis of conditions for the formation of two multilayer fabrics from polyamide threads was carried out and a multilayer fabric with the most rational structure was selected, the formation of which would require less technological effort. Experimental studies have made it possible to build regression dependences on determining the influence of the initial tension of warp threads of the outer protective layers on the beating force value. The joint effect of the size of an overstep and the different tension of a shed on the beating force value was established, depending on the structure of a multilayer technical fabric. It is shown that when the tension of warp threads of the outer protective layers increases, the beating force value increases. A value of the tension of warp threads in outer protective layers, force layers, warp threads for connecting the outer protective layers and force layers in the position of an overstep and at the moment of thread beating was determined. Analysis of regression dependences will make it possible to determine the optimal loading parameters of the loom. It has been proven that the beating force value is affected by the structure of a multi-layer technical fabric and the tension of warp threads in outer protective layers. The improved multi-layer technical fabric is used for laying pipes with an external factory-made polyethylene coating
