Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To arrange a fiber bundle in flat state and a state in which flat face is kept along arranging face when yarn comprising fiber bundles is arranged in folded state between pins arranged at a prescribed pitch on a supporting member to form a laminated yarn group. SOLUTION: A yarn feed head 3 and an air cylinder 12 are fixed to a support 10 fixed to a robot arm 5 and the yarn feed head 3 is equipped with a support cylindrical part 8 and a yarn guide pipe 9 rotatably attached at the tip. A pressing plate 4 is fixed at the tip of a piston rod 12a of the air cylinder 12 and en ultrasonic wave oscillator 13 is fixed on the pressing plate 4. The pressing plate 4 is arranged at a pressing position for pressing yarn R fed out from the yarn guide pipe 9 to an arranging face side and a waiting position incapable of engaging with the yarn R. When the yarn R fed out from the yarn guide pipe 9 is moved along the arranging direction of yarn R while pressing the yarn R by the pressing plate 4, the yarn R is spread and a flat face is arranged in a state parallel to the arranging face.

[0003] In the ballistic-proof member, as a means for improving the bullet-proof performance, as a yarn constituting a woven fabric, a non-twisted multifilament yarn is opened, glued and dried, and woven using a warp yarn. It is disclosed that a cloth is used (for example, JP-A-10-10234).
No. 9). JP-A-10-195729 discloses that a non-twisted, non-entangled multifilament yarn is opened, glued and dried at least as a warp yarn, and a sizing agent is added to a woven fabric at a rate of 60% by weight or more. It is disclosed to remove. Opening a yarn (multifilament yarn) means that the filaments constituting the yarn are expanded to make the yarn flat.

On the other hand, the first fiber group, which is substantially parallel to the protection surface of the three-dimensional fiber structure, is constituted by spread fibers, and the flat surfaces of the spread fibers are arranged so as to be parallel to the protection surface. It is conceivable that the bulletproof performance is further improved. However, in the method of forming the three-dimensional fiber structure relatively easily, a layered yarn group formed by arranging a yarn composed of a fiber bundle in a folded manner between pins arranged at a predetermined pitch on a support member is formed by a thickness direction yarn. To form a three-dimensional fiber structure. In the method in which the yarns are arranged so as to be folded back in a state in which they are engaged with the pins, as shown in FIG.
Since it is arranged between the pins 50 in a state of being wound around zero, the flat surface is perpendicular to the arrangement surface, and the effect of opening the fiber is almost eliminated.

That is, the pressing plate 4 is formed in a shape in which the width of the pressing plate 4 that can press one thread R is increased to only one side. In this embodiment, the holding plate 4 is formed in a shape in which the left side in FIG. 6 is expanded. For this reason, when the yarns R are arranged in the X direction in FIG. 6, if the pressing plate 4 is arranged at the pressing position when the yarn guide tube 9 moves while unwinding the yarns R arranged at the left end, the yarns interfere with the pins 6, so that the pressing position is reduced.
