With the continuous advancement of the technological level of China's silk industry, the pace of technological innovation has also been accelerated, especially the full use of computers, e-commerce platforms and modern information processing. The most typical example is that the popularization of computers makes the silk reeling process completely obsolete the centuries-old vertical reeling car, thereby greatly improving the level of automatic silk reeling in the silk industry. The use of computer monitoring and auxiliary means can fully realize a small batch, multi-variety business model. Mechatronics has become the main feature of the international textile machinery development. Almost all jacquard machines and large circular knitting machines have been equipped with electronic jacquard devices.
The reliability of silk production equipment is the crux of the gap between domestically produced equipment and the advanced level of foreign countries. The domestic sales of domestic textile equipment is only about 10,000 units. However, according to conservative estimates, the annual demand for textile equipment in China's textile industry is as high as 20,000 to 30,000 units.
In the field of raw material application, Chinese scientific research has made remarkable achievements, such as deciphering the mystery of the silkworm genome and successfully cultivating natural color cocoons; overcoming the difficulties of automatic silk reeling and vacuum infiltration cocoon cooking technology; completely mastering the ultrastructure of silk fibers ; In-depth research on the tensile properties of the silkworm silk formed by forced traction and obtained results; the extraction of sericin and silk fibroin from the by-products of silk production has been promoted and applied; the successful development of pure silk/mulberry stretch silk and bulk stretch silk and other pure silk differentiation New textile materials; electronic spinning method to prepare silk fibroin functional nanofibers; environmentally-friendly new dyeing materials, auxiliaries and supporting processes for silk have come out one after another.
