(54) | Air spinning device, spinning unit, and spinning method using the air spinning device |
(57) An air spinning device (6) includes a nozzle block (63) that includes a through hole
(63p) that partially defines a spinning chamber (SC), and an air hole (63a) that is
communicable with the spinning chamber (SC); a fiber guide (61) in which a fiber introducing
passage (61g) that is communicable with the spinning chamber (SC) is defined; and
a spindle (62) in which a fiber passageway (62s) that is communicable with the spinning
chamber (SC) is defined. The air spinning device (6) spins a spun yarn (Y) from a
fiber bundle (F) by supplying air from the air hole (63a) into the spinning chamber
(SC). The air hole (63a) is located such that a point of intersection (IS1) between
a central axis of the air hole (63a) and a wall surface of the through hole (63p)
is in a range of greater than or equal to 3 mm to less than or equal to 10 mm from
a contact surface between the nozzle block (63) and the fiber guide (61).
