Abstract:

In order to explore trash-removing characteristics of rotor spinning combing and trash removal mechanism, two types of combing and trash removal devices were selected, and a physical model was established through 3-D modeling software. Further, the distribution characteristics of air pressure, velocity and turbulent kinetic energy in these two trash removal devices were obtained and the effects of trash-removing were compared. Experiment results show that the pressure distribution in the two carding cavities of model I and model Ⅱ was negative pressure, the velocity distribution in the two carding cavities was uneven. Moreover, turbulent kinetic energy was identified at the impurity discharge port of model I, which was not conducive to the discharge of impurities. However, no change of turbulent kinetic energy was found in the trash discharge area of model Ⅱ, which was conducive to the removal of impurities. The accuracy of Fluent simulation results was validated by the spinning experiments.

Key words: rotor spinning, carding cavity, airflow field, Fluent simulation, trash removal zone
