Textile machinery is all kinds of mechanical equipment needed to process natural fibers or chemical fibers into textiles.
Although the machinery for producing chemical fibers includes a variety of chemical machinery, it is now considered an extension of textile machinery and belongs to textile machinery in a broad sense. The processes required to process different fibers such as cotton, hemp, silk, wool, etc. into textiles are not the same, and some are completely different, so the machines required are also various and varied. Textile machinery is usually classified according to the production process, including: spinning equipment, weaving equipment, printing and dyeing equipment, finishing equipment, chemical fiber spinning equipment, reeling equipment and non-woven fabric equipment. Spinning equipment is divided into two categories: processing short fibers and processing long fibers. Cotton and cotton-type chemical fibers belong to short fibers, while wool, hemp, silk and their blended chemical fibers belong to long fibers. The processing procedures of the two types of fibers are different, and the equipment cannot be used universally, but the design principles of some machines are similar. Even if the same type of equipment, the structure of the machine is similar, but due to the different properties of the raw materials and the final requirements for the fabric, they are generally not universal. Textile machinery is the production means and material basis of the textile industry. Its technical level, quality and manufacturing cost are directly related to the development of the textile industry.

History of textile machinery development
Humans first used natural fibers as raw materials for spinning and weaving, which was earlier than the invention of writing (see World Textile History, Chinese Textile History). In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China had already used the hand spinning wheel to spin yarn. By the Song Dynasty, a hydraulic spinning wheel with more than 30 spindles had been invented. In 1769, the British R. Arkwright) (also translated as Richard Arkwright) made a hydraulic spinning machine. In 1779, the British S. Crompton (Samuel Crompton) invented the mule spinning machine. After it was introduced to the United States, American J. Thorpe invented the ring spinning machine in 1828, which increased the productivity several times due to the use of continuous spinning. The looms in the Warring States period of China have already used the principle of leverage, and the heald frame is driven by the pedal connecting rod to complete the opening action. In 1733, the British J. Kay (also translated as John Kay) invented the flying shuttle, hitting the shuttle to make it fly at high speed, and the productivity of the loom was doubled. In 1785, the British E. Cartwright (also translated as Edmund Cartwright) invented the power loom. In the same year, Britain built the world’s first cotton textile factory powered by a steam engine. A turning point in the production transition. The progress of human society and the increase of population have promoted the development of textile industry and correspondingly promoted the improvement of textile machinery. Energy reform (replacing manpower and animal power with steam power) laid the foundation for modern textile machinery. The advent of man-made fibers at the end of the 19th century broadened the field of textile machinery and added a category of chemical fiber machinery. The growth of people’s demand for synthetic fibers has driven synthetic fiber spinning equipment to become larger (the diameter of the spinning screw reaches 200 mm, and the daily output of a single spinning machine reaches 100 tons) and high speed (spinning speed reaches 3000-4000 meters) /min) direction development. The fastest growing country in the world’s synthetic fiber industry almost updates its equipment every 5 to 6 years, and the number of machines doubles within 10 years. Spinning and weaving equipment in the past 20 years has made many local improvements in order to adapt to pure spinning of chemical fibers or blending with natural fibers, such as expanding the range of suitable fiber lengths for drafting mechanisms and eliminating static electricity on fibers. In terms of dyeing and finishing, high temperature and high pressure dyeing equipment, heat setting equipment, resin finishing equipment and loose finishing equipment have been developed. Humans have been spinning and weaving cloth by traditional methods for more than 6,000 years. Spinning and weaving machines designed according to traditional principles are still the main equipment of the world’s textile industry. However, since the 1950s, some new process methods have been created, partially replacing traditional methods, and producing textiles with much higher efficiency, such as rotor spinning, non-woven fabrics, etc. New technological methods breed new textile equipment, and the maturity and promotion of new textile equipment promotes the further development of the textile industry.
Development Status of Textile Machinery
Driven by the textile industry, my country’s textile machinery manufacturing industry has achieved considerable development. At present, my country’s textile machinery manufacturing industry has become a pillar industry with complete categories, meeting the needs of the textile industry, and having independent research and development and innovation capabilities. my country’s textile machinery manufacturing industry has maintained a rapid development momentum in recent years. By the end of 2010, the total assets of the industry reached 77.613 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 27.78%; the industry realized sales revenue of 81.565 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 42.13%. Generally speaking, after experiencing a decline in the growth rate of the industry in 2008, the expansion speed of the industry scale has been significantly accelerated, and the overall development trend is good.
Textile machinery related industries
The textile machinery manufacturing industry is divided into two categories: one is to manufacture the whole machine, and the other is to manufacture special spare parts (such as spindles, cradles, steel rings, traveler rings, knitting needles, card clothing, healds, warp stoppers, etc.) film, etc.). The special equipment for manufacturing the whole textile machinery factory accounts for a small proportion of the whole factory equipment, so under certain conditions, it can change varieties to produce other machinery. The proportion of special equipment and special assembly lines in the factory for manufacturing special spare parts is relatively large (especially knitting needles and card clothing), and it is difficult to change varieties. Among various processing types, the proportion of casting workers is gradually shrinking, and the proportion of cold stamping, grinding, electroplating, polishing, etc. is gradually increasing. CNC machine tools and multi-station automatic machine tools partially replace special-purpose machine tools, which enhances the adaptability and flexibility of production. Textile machinery is highly technological, with complex structures and many parts. It needs to be pre-assembled or partially assembled before leaving the factory, and then undergo production tests or partial production tests to ensure that the quality of the machines meets the requirements. All textile machinery factories have well-equipped testing departments. There are many kinds of parts in textile machinery, such as 1200-1500 parts of double-needle cylinder hosiery machine, and the processing procedures of parts are various. If a factory produces multiple machines at the same time, it is necessary to properly arrange the production rhythm and connection of parts to ensure that the final assembly line can provide the types and quantities of parts required for the entire machine assembly on schedule. The modern textile machinery industry mostly adopts new management methods and methods such as computers and system engineering to manage enterprises. The textile machinery industry and many other industrial sectors are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. For example, the steel for making knitting needles requires good extensibility, toughness, necessary hardness, rigidity and elasticity, which requires special steel for smelting and rolling in the metallurgical industry. The supporting textile machinery requires the motor industry to provide motors with special functions, such as torque motors and stepping motors; textile-specific motors with high starting torque, high working time rate, and ability to withstand harsh environments; DC motors and variable frequency motors with good speed regulation performance wait. The electrical and electronic industry is required to provide high-quality components that can withstand 8,000 hours of continuous operation per year and more complex automatic control devices, microprocessors, and microcomputers. It is necessary for the petrochemical industry to provide oil-resistant synthetic resins that can be soaked in lubricating grease for a long time without deformation and are better than non-ferrous metals to make transmission parts, bearings and seals, etc.; various engineering plastics and reinforced plastics with excellent performance are also required to replace Wood, which is increasingly scarce in resources, may replace metal to reduce weight and inertia, improve corrosion resistance, wear resistance and other properties. The rubber industry is required to provide various transmission belts, roller covering materials, aprons, various buffer parts, etc., and other mechanical industries are required to provide general reducers, general transmission parts, general clutches, couplings, brakes and other mechanical parts. In addition, new technologies, new materials, and new structures developed to meet the needs of aerospace technology, the automobile industry, and the weapon industry, such as high-precision, high-speed rolling bearings, carbon fiber reinforced plastics, miniature compressed air pipelines and valves, hydraulic torque Converters, hydraulic transmission and jet technology, etc., have also begun to be used in textile machinery to promote its high speed and high efficiency. After decades of development, China’s textile machinery industry has made great progress. But compared with the world’s advanced technology, there are still some gaps and some serious problems. The overall technical level of textile machinery is low, the ability of independent product development and innovation is weak, and the investment in research and development is insufficient. The technological transformation of enterprises is not enough, and the manufacturing technology is backward. The domestic basic industry is weak, and the basic supporting parts can’t keep up, which affects the quality of textile machinery products and the improvement of the level of mechatronics. The development of textile machinery products lacks the organic cooperation with the process, which affects the use effect of textile machinery products. Unsuitable policies have affected the competitiveness of domestic textile machinery products. In response to these problems, China’s textile machinery industry has adopted a series of measures to vigorously develop the infrastructure of textile machinery, introduce foreign textile machinery technology, differentiated development strategies, and the country has issued corresponding policies to support the development of textile machinery, and achieved good results. . From 2008 to 2010, with the rapid development of the world and China’s textile industry, the demand for textile machinery is increasing, and the development of China’s textile machinery industry is facing a good opportunity. It is estimated that by 2010, driven by the upgrading of textile machinery, the output value rate of new products in China’s textile machinery industry will increase from 25% in 2005 to 50% in 2010; the export value of textile machinery products will account for more than 30% of the output value in the same period; The numerical control rate of the whole industry of textile machinery industrial equipment will reach more than 10%, of which key key enterprises will reach 15%-20%; the finishing process capability index of key parts and new special basic parts of major textile machinery products will reach 1-1.25 . Therefore, the development space of China’s textile machinery industry is huge.
