Definitions
- Fiber length measurement is a longstanding problem in textile and para-textile materials characterization. It is a particularly challenging task in applications using natural fibers, such as cotton. Among all measured characteristics of cotton and most other fibrous materials, length has typically been considered the most crucial. The market value and end-use of the fiber along with the processes adopted for its transformation are largely determined by its length properties. Unfortunately, reliably
- Fiber bundle sampling includes clamping a bundle, or "beard,” of parallel fibers by using a set of combs and brushes. The beard is scanned for length measurement, or to determine the "fibrogram.” Due to the sample clamping, the shortest fibers are not scanned, which leads to a bias of the length distribution toward the long fibers.
- fibers are individualized using an aeromechanical opener or separator and individually conveyed through a set of optical sensors that generate electrical signals proportional to the fiber length.
- breakage typically occurs at the mechanical opening, which biases the measured length distribution toward the shorter fibers.
- Various implementations include systems and methods of using electrostatic forces to separate samples into individual fibers with minimal to no breakage and align the individual fibers with minimal handling. These systems and methods allow for testing, such as measuring the length, of individual fibers without the biases caused by breakage or bundling that are present in prior art systems and methods. These systems and methods may also be useful in applications requiring fiber alignment with minimal material handling.
- various implementations include a pair of nip rollers and a collector that are spaced apart from each other to define an air gap therebetween. The nip rollers are grounded or negatively charged, for example, and the collector is positively charged to create an electrostatic field in the air gap.
- the electrostatic field separates the fibers, elongates the fibers end to end, and urges the fibers toward the collector.
- the nip rollers may be positively charged and the collector grounded or negatively charged to create the electrostatic field in the air gap.
- the system may also include a power supply (e.g., a high voltage DC power supply) for creating a voltage difference between the nip rollers and collector.
- the collector is a collection roller that has an axis of rotation that is parallel to the first and second axes of rotation, and the direction of rotation of the collection roller is the same as the direction of rotation of the second nip roller, which is disposed below the first nip roller.
- the collector may also include a plate or other suitable collection device, according to other implementations.
- the system may also include an imaging system that has a field of view that includes at least a portion of the air gap between the exit side of the nip rollers and the collector.
- the imaging system receives image signals of each fiber passing through the air gap, and the image signals may be used to measure a length and/or diameter of each fiber or to inspect each fiber.
- the imaging system may futher include one or more digital cameras and one or more light sources, for example.
- the system may also include a suction device, such as a vacuum collection device, that is disposed adjacent an exit side of the collector.
- a suction device such as a vacuum collection device, that is disposed adjacent an exit side of the collector.
- the suction device urges each fiber passing over or through the collector from an entry side of the collector to the exit side of the collector to enter the suction device for collection after one or more images of each fiber is received.
- the system may also include additional pairs of nip rollers disposed upstream of the first and second nip rollers that receive a beard of fibers and feed the fibers toward the entry side of the first and second nip rollers.
- Various implementations further include a method of separating and aligning fibers.
- the method includes: (1) rotating a pair of nip rollers, an exit side of the nip rollers being spaced apart from an entry side of a collector to define an air gap therebetween; (2) creating an electrostatic field in the air gap; and (3) feeding a beard of fibers between the nip rollers.
- the electrostatic field separates the fibers, elongates the fibers end to end between the exit side of the nip rollers and the entry side of the collector, and urges the fibers toward the collector.
- a width of the air gap from the exit side of the nip rollers to the entry side of the collector is larger than a maximum length of any fiber within the beard of fibers.
- the method also includes capturing image signals of the separated and elongated fibers in the air gap with an imaging device that has a field of view that comprises at least a portion of the air gap.
- the method may also include identifying a length and/or a diameter of each separated fiber using the image signals.

Abstract
L'invention concerne divers systèmes et procédés qui utilisent des forces électrostatiques pour séparer des fibres avec peu ou aucune rupture, et aligner les fibres individuelles avec une manipulation minimale. Ces systèmes et procédés permettent le test, par exemple la mesure de la longueur, de fibres individuelles sans les sollicitations causées par la rupture ou le regroupement dans des systèmes de l'état de la technique. Ces systèmes et procédés peuvent également être utiles dans des applications nécessitant un alignement de fibres avec une manipulation de matériau minimale. Un exemple de système comprend une paire de rouleaux de pincement et un collecteur qui sont espacés l'un de l'autre pour définir un entrefer entre eux. Les rouleaux de pincement sont mis à la terre ou chargés négativement, par exemple, et le collecteur est chargé positivement pour créer un champ électrostatique dans l'entrefer. Le champ électrostatique sépare les fibres, allonge les fibres bout à bout, et pousse les fibres vers le collecteur.
