Abstract

A manufacturing method and apparatus for producing digital yarns using hybrid metal for high speed communication, which can be connected to a network to exchange information in real time in the ubiquitous era, and digital yarns made using the method thereof. The manufacturing method and apparatus for producing digital yarns using hybrid metal for high speed communication and digital yarns thereof comprises producing a hybrid metal rod; drawing the hybrid metal rod; producing a micro filament; feeding the micro filament; softening the micro filament; forming a sliver; forming a spun yarn; winding the spun yarn; coating the spun yarn with an electromagnetic shielding resin; drying the spun yarn with the electromagnetic shielding resin; and covering the spun yarn with a textile yarn and the digital yarn made in accordance with this method.

Claims (23)

1. A manufacturing apparatus for producing digital yarns using hybrid metal for high speed communication, the manufacturing apparatus comprising:

a nozzle for producing a plurality of micro filaments by drawing a hybrid metal rod comprised of a first metal part and a second metal part covering round the surface of the first metal part, the material of which is different from the first metal part;

a feeding roller for feeding a plurality of micro filaments;

a heating part for heating and softening the micro filaments;

a stretching roller for drafting and cutting the softened micro filaments to produce slivers with a predetermined length;

a spinning part for drawing and twisting the slivers to produce a spun yarn;

a winding part for winding the spun yarn;

a thin film coating part for thin film coating the spun yarn with a waterproof material and an electromagnetic shielding material while unwinding the spun yarn from the winding part;

a drying part for drying the thin film coated spun yarn; and

a covering part for covering the spun yarn with a textile yarn.

2. The manufacturing apparatus for producing digital yarns using hybrid metal for high speed communication according to claim 1 , further comprising a drawing part arranged between one of the stretching rollers and the spinning part in order to enhance evenness of the slivers through doubling and drafting processes.

3. The manufacturing apparatus for producing digital yarns using hybrid metal for high speed communication according to claim 1 , further comprising anti-slip rollers arranged at both sides of the stretching rollers, respectively, to prevent the micro filaments from slipping during the drafting process.

4. The manufacturing apparatus for producing digital yarns using hybrid metal for high speed communication according to claim 1 , further comprising an additive liquid feeding part arranged at a top portion of the spinning part to permeate an additive liquid into the slivers and to dry the additive liquid remained on the surface of the slivers.

5. A manufacturing apparatus for producing digital yarns using hybrid metal for high speed communication, the manufacturing apparatus comprising:

a nozzle for producing a plurality of micro filaments by drawing a hybrid metal rod comprised of a first metal part and a second metal part covering round the surface of the first metal part, the material of which is different from the first metal part;

a feeding roller for feeding a plurality of micro filaments;

a heating part for heating and softening the micro filaments;

a collecting part for collecting the softened micro filaments;

a rotating part for twisting the collected micro filaments to produce the micro filament yarns;

a winding part for winding the micro filament yarns round a bobbin;

a thin film coating part for thin film coating the micro filament yarns with a waterproof material and an electromagnetic shielding material while unwinding the micro filament yarns from the winding part;

a drying part for drying the thin film coated micro filament yarns; and

a covering part for covering the micro filament yarns with a textile yarn.
