Algorithmic and Computer Software for Determination of Thread Tension After Guide Large Curvacity

The conducted studies of the effect of the structure of the threads on the amount of tension when interacting with guides and working bodies of weaving machines and knitting machines, which have a large curvature in the zone of contact with the thread, established a mechanism for the process of increasing the tension of the thread after the guide by changing the radius of curvature of the guide and friction forces in the zone contact. It is proved that the increase in tension is explained by a change in the angle of coverage of the thread of a guide of large curvature, and for complex threads and yarns, the real angle of coverage will be greater than the calculated one, due to deformation of the thread diameter in the contact zone, and for monofilaments it is less than the calculated one due to bending stiffness. The sequential passage of the thread along the guides, from the entry zone to the formation zone of fabric and knitwear, leads to a stepwise increase in tension. In this case, the output parameter of the tension after the previous guide will be the input parameter for the subsequent guide, which makes it possible to use recursion when determining the tension in front of the formation zone. In this regard, research on the computer implementation of the algorithm for determining the thread tension on technological equipment using recursion should be considered relevant.
