TEXTILE MACHINERY DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

The first human use of natural fibers as raw materials, spinning and weaving, as early as the invention of the text (see the world textile history, the history of Chinese textile). China in spring and autumn and the Warring States period has been using hand spinning spinning, to the Song Dynasty has invented more than 30 spindle hydraulic large spinning wheel. In 1769 the British R. Ake Wright) (also translated Richard Arkwright) manufacture of hydraulic spinning machine. 1779 British S. Crompton (Samuel Crompton) invented the spinning machine. After the introduction of the United States, 1828 American J. Thorpe invented the ring spinning machine, the use of continuous spinning to improve productivity several times. China's Warring States period, the loom has been the use of leverage in order to drive the heald frame connecting rod to complete the opening action. In 1733 the British J. Kay (also translated John Kay) invented the shuttle, hit the shuttle, so that high-speed flight, loom productivity can be doubled. In 1785 the British E. Cartwright (also translated Edmund Cartwright) invented power loom, the same year the United Kingdom built the world's first steam engine-powered cotton textile mill, the textile industry from the factory handicraft industry to large industry Production transition of a turning point. The progress of human society and the increase of population, promoted the development of textile industry, correspondingly promoted the improvement of textile machinery. Energy reform (with steam power instead of manpower, animal power) is laid the foundation of modern textile machinery.
