Abstract:

In order to improve weft insertion performance of air-jet loom, the structure and parameters of extended nozzle were optimized. The influence of different structures and parameters of the extended nozzle on the airflow velocity and stability of the airflow field in the guide tube of the extended nozzle was studied by means of numerical simulation analysis and Fluent software. The results show that the optimum distance between the last auxiliary nozzle outlet and the weft inlet of the extended nozzle is about 60 mm, too large or too small distance will lead to the decrease of the axial airflow velocity in the guide tube, and the optimum distance between the extended nozzle inlet and the weft inlet is about 30 mm, too small distance will cause the airflow field in the guide tube unstable, and too large distance will cause the speed increase in the guide tube not obviously. When the spray angle of the extended nozzle is about 10°, the air flow field in the guide tube is relatively stable.
