In addition, for ease of description, the drawings only show a part of the structure related to the present disclosure instead of all of the structure. Based on the embodiments in present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without any creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
“Embodiments” herein means that specific features, specific structures, or specific characteristics described in the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

The first split section 11, the first single strand section 12, the second split section 13, the second single strand section 14, and the third split section 15 are woven by warp yarns and weft yarns according to a preset organizational structure.
The first split section 11 includes at least two sub-woven belts, the at least two sub-woven belts are separated from each other, at least one of the at least two sub-woven belts is capable of being stretched and contracted under an action of an external force. For example, when a direction of the external force is along a length direction of the first split section 11, the sub-woven belt can stretch and contract along the length direction of the first split section 11 under the action of the external force, and the sub-woven belt becomes longer; and when the external force is removed, the sub-woven belt returns to its normal state. The third split section 15 is similar to the first split section 11, and can be woven in the same way as the first split section 11.
In the first split section 11, the stretchable sub-woven belt is woven with elastic fabric. So that the stretchable sub-woven belt has elasticity, and can be deformed and lengthened under the action of the external force. The first split section 11, the first single strand section 12, the second split section 13, the second single strand section 14, and the third split section 15 are integrally woven.
Specifically, referring to
Specifically, referring to
Referring to
Referring to
An interweaving density of the second suture 124 is decreased along a split direction of the first split section, so that a different area of the ribbon has a different tearing buffer force.
Referring to
The fifth sub-woven belt 131 is curved relative to the sixth sub-woven belt 132.
It can be understood that the first split section 11, the first single strand section 12, the second split section 13, the second single strand section 14, and the third split section 15 all have a face yarn layer, a bottom yarn layer, and a suture. The elastic belt may be a rubber belt.
Different from the existing art, the energy absorber of the present disclosure includes a first split section, a first single strand section, a second split section, a second single strand section, and a third split section which are connected in sequence. The first split section and the third split section each include at least two sub-woven belts, the at least two sub-woven belts are separated from each other, at least one of the at least two sub-woven belts is capable of being stretched and contracted under an action of an external force, the first split section, the first single strand section, the second split section, the second single strand section, and the third split section are integrally woven. Through the above method, the first split section and the third split section which are capable of being stretched and contracted are woven with the first single strand section, the second split section, and the second single strand section which have a buffer function together, so as to eliminate a subsequent sewing operation, save ribbon materials, reduce labor costs, and improve the beauty of the energy absorber through an integrated weaving mode. The energy absorber of the present disclosure can be used for personal fall protector and high-altitude rescue protector.
Referring to
The energy absorber as shown in
Specifically, a main shaft of the weaving device is rotated to drive a steel buckle connecting rod group to eccentrically move, so that a steel buckle seat swings back and forth. When swinging back and forth, the steel buckle seat drives a weft aluminum hand to make an arc swing, a weft needle is fixed on the weft aluminum hand. The weft aluminum hand swings, so that the weft needle brings the weft yarn to pass through the shed and hook into the weaving needle, and the two weft needles pass through the upper and lower sheds respectively. As shown in
The sheds are openings created by the up and down movements of the warp yarn. The present disclosure has two sheds which are formed by the drive of the brown frame.
In some embodiments, when weaving the first single strand section or the second single strand section, all warp yarns and elastic belts are driven by the brown frame to form two sheds. The upper layer belt and the bottom layer belt are respectively interwoven with warp yarn and weft yarn to form two ribbons. The suture rises and falls, and interweaves with two layers of weft yarn to suture the two ribbons together. Different areas have different suturing densities, so that different areas of the ribbon have different tearing buffer force. As shown in
In some embodiments, when weaving the first split section or the third split section, the suture is interwoven with the upper layer weft yarn and bottom layer weft yarn independently, and the elastic belt is interwoven back and forth with the face yarn layer and the bottom yarn layer of the upper layer belt. When the elastic belt is interwoven with the face yarn layer, and not interwoven with the bottom yarn layer, the face yarn layer of the ribbon is capable of being stretched and contracted as interweaving with the elastic belt, and the bottom yarn layer is not capable of being stretched and contracted, so the face yarn layer of the ribbon is curved downward. When the elastic belt is interwoven with the bottom yarn layer and not interwoven with the face yarn layer, the bottom yarn layer of the ribbon is capable of being stretched and contracted as interweaving with the elastic belt, the face yarn layer is not capable of being stretched and contracted, so that the bottom yarn layer is curved upward. The bottom ribbon does not have the elastic belt, so the bottom layer belt is a flat ribbon. Specifically, referring to
In some embodiments, when the second split section is woven, the suture rises and falls to independently interweave with the upper layer weft yarn and bottom layer weft yarn, instead of interweaving with the upper layer weft yarn and bottom layer weft yarn simultaneously, so the second split section has a split. When the second split section is woven, the elastic belt is interweaved with the upper layer belt and the weaving density of the elastic belt and the upper layer weft yarn and the bottom layer weft yarn is high within a unit distance, so that the elastic belt can be tightly interwoven with the weft yarns, and the second split section is not prone to loosen. Specifically, referring to
In some embodiments, the first single strand section or the second single strand section is woven according to the organizational structure as shown in
Different from the existing art, the energy absorber of the present disclosure includes a first split section, a first single strand section, a second split section, a second single strand section, and a third split section which are connected in sequence. The first split section and the third split section each include at least two sub-woven belts, the at least two sub-woven belts are separated from each other, at least one of the at least two sub-woven belts is capable of being stretched and contracted under an action of an external force, the first split section, the first single strand section, the second split section, the second single strand section, and the third split section are integrally woven. Through the above method, the first split section and the third split section which are capable of being stretched and contracted are woven with the first single strand section, the second split section, and the second single strand section which have a buffer function together, so as to eliminate a subsequent sewing operation, save ribbon materials, reduce labor costs, and improve the beauty of the energy absorber through an integrated weaving mode. The energy absorber of the present disclosure can be used for personal fall protector and high-altitude rescue protector.
Further, the warp yarns and the weft yarns are interwoven by using two weft needles and two sheds to form two ribbons, and the suture is configured to connect the two ribbons. Different areas have different suturing densities, so that different areas of the ribbons have different buffering forces. The elastic belt and the single layer belt are used as organization connector, for integrally weaving the energy absorber.
