摘要 |
A yarn producing apparatus that produces carbon nanotube yarn at high speed includes a yarn producing unit that aggregates running carbon nanotube fibers. The yarn producing unit includes a nozzle body, a first nozzle provided in the nozzle body to generate a first swirl flow, with compressed air, in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the carbon nanotube fibers running, and a second nozzle provided in the nozzle body to generate a second swirl flow, with compressed air, in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the carbon nanotube fibers running and opposite to the direction of the first swirl flow. The first nozzle and the second nozzle are provided at positions different in the direction of the carbon nanotube fibers running in the nozzle body. |
