Circular weaving method for 3-dimensional tubular fabric

In order to produce 3-dimensional tubular fabrics with high normalization and continuity,this article presents a 3-dimensional circular weaving method.Based on the characteristics of circular weave,warp yarns are input along radial direction,and weft yarns as well as binder yarns are inserted into the tubular fabric circumferentially by shuttles,connecting warp yarns not only within weaving plane but also through thickness of the fabric.By the pull force of shuttle and a designed shedding order,warp yarns could be bonded without beating.Furthermore,the warp yarns can be supplied continuously,only weft yarns and binder yarns are required to be replenished regularly.
