Abstract
Abstract. China is one of the first countries that produced textiles in the
world. It has designed and developed a variety of equipment to facilitate
textile work, for instance, reeling wheels for fiber processing, treadle spinning wheels for spinning, and looms for weaving cloth. These
textile mechanisms can be found in the literature, and there are physical
objects left as well. However, due to unclear descriptions of the
transmission modes in the records and illustrations, as well as the long
history and vast area of their use, a variety of designs with different
structures may have been produced. Based on the generalized kinematic chain
concept, this paper briefly describes the historical development of textile
mechanisms in ancient China and analyzes the structures of mechanisms, such as
reeling wheels, treadle spinning wheels, and looms. Finally, it explores the
degree of freedom of the mechanisms to find feasible designs in line with
functional requirements.
期刊介绍：
The journal Mechanical Sciences (MS) is an international forum for the dissemination of original contributions in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics. Its main ambition is to provide a platform for young researchers to build up a portfolio of high-quality peer-reviewed journal articles. To this end we employ an open-access publication model with moderate page charges, aiming for fast publication and great citation opportunities. A large board of reputable editors makes this possible. The journal will also publish special issues dealing with the current state of the art and future research directions in mechanical sciences. While in-depth research articles are preferred, review articles and short communications will also be considered. We intend and believe to provide a means of publication which complements established journals in the field.
