This paper argues that the groove-wound licker-in racks' spiral mounting leads teeth with an inclination angle to the rotating direction. Theoretical analysis of forces on the fibers is carried out when the inclination angle is 0 and theta: when the teeth enter the fiber layer, the inclination angle makes the pressure on fibers increases rapidly and leads to a stronger friction force on fibers. It also leads to increases in both contact area and the wrap angle of the fiber around the teeth. This article also uses ANSYS Explicit Dynamics to simulate the fiber assembly carded by a tooth, when the inclination angle is 0 degrees, 1 degrees and 2 degrees. When the inclination angle of the model is 1 degrees, its fiber deformation is 1.35 times that of 0 degrees; its elastic strain and stress concentration coefficient are 1.40 times than that of 0 degrees; when the inclination angle of the model is 2 degrees, its fiber deformation is 1.72 times than that of 0 degrees; its elastic strain and stress concentration coefficient are 2 times than that of 0 degrees. As with the inclinations increasing, the fiber deformations increase in time grow from 0.0634 and 0.08477 to 0.10584. The simulation also shows that when the tooth works on the fibers, there is a sudden compressive stress on fibers and then this pressure transfers with time. From all of the above, the inclination angle on licker-in teeth results in larger strain and deformation on fibers, so that this inclination angle should be decreased as much as possible in practice.
