Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile equipment technology, specifically to a leveling and winding device for a water jet loom. Background Technology

[0002] A water jet loom is a shuttleless loom that uses pressurized water as the weft insertion medium to guide the weft yarn into the shed to complete the weaving of the fabric. Because water jet looms use water as the weft insertion medium, the resulting fabric is wet, and even after dehydration, a small amount of moisture will remain, making it very easy to create creases when the fabric is wound into rolls.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, CN222861785U discloses a large-area leveling device for a water jet loom, comprising a conveyor table, a leveling mechanism on one side above the conveyor table, a bracket fixedly installed on the conveyor table above the leveling mechanism, a spring fixedly installed at the bottom of the bracket, the other end of the spring being fixed to the leveling mechanism, the spring causing the leveling mechanism to move closer to the conveyor table, an intermediate shaft installed at the end of the conveyor table away from the leveling mechanism, and a winding mechanism elastically installed at the end of the conveyor table away from the leveling mechanism.

[0004] The leveling structure in the large-area leveling device of the aforementioned water jet loom includes a water spraying structure, which sprays water onto the fabric before leveling. However, the fabric coming out of the water jet loom already contains moisture, and additional water spraying exacerbates the dampness of the fabric, making it more prone to creases or mildew after winding. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a leveling and winding device for a water jet loom, so as to solve the problem that in the existing technology, since the fabric already contains moisture, additional water spraying will aggravate the dampness of the fabric, making it more prone to creases or mildew after winding.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a leveling and winding device for a water jet loom, comprising a support frame, a winding mechanism being provided at the tail end of the support frame, an infrared ironing plate being movably disposed on the support frame in front of the winding mechanism, and a drying mechanism being provided on the support frame between the infrared ironing plate and the winding mechanism.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0008] This leveling and winding device uses an infrared ironing plate to heat the fabric non-contactly and evenly, avoiding abrasions and leveling the fabric without pressure. Then, the drying mechanism dries the moisture in the fabric, ensuring that the fabric remains dry after being wound up by the winding mechanism, reducing the risk of creases or mildew after winding.

Detailed Implementation

[0013] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments:

[0014] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a leveling and winding device for a water jet loom, including a support frame 1, a winding mechanism 2 is provided at the tail end of the support frame 1, an infrared ironing plate 3 is movably disposed on the support frame 1 in front of the winding mechanism 2, and a drying mechanism 4 is also provided on the support frame 1 between the infrared ironing plate 3 and the winding mechanism 2.

[0015] This leveling and winding device uses an infrared ironing plate 3 to heat the fabric non-contactly and evenly, avoiding abrasions and leveling the fabric without pressure. Then, the drying mechanism 4 dries the moisture in the fabric, ensuring that the fabric remains dry after being wound by the winding mechanism 2, reducing the risk of creases or mildew after winding.

[0016] In this embodiment, the infrared ironing plate 3 emits mid- to far-infrared rays with a wavelength of 5-15μm, which penetrate the surface of the fabric and reach the interior. The infrared rays are absorbed by the chemical bonds such as CH and OH in the fiber molecules and converted into high-frequency vibration energy (molecular thermal motion), which heats the fabric evenly from the inside. Under the thermal expansion effect, the fibers at the creases of the fabric stretch out and restore their straight shape.

[0017] The infrared ironing plate 3 is a conventional structure, which will not be further elaborated here.

[0018] To better understand this solution, the following sections will further explain the installation method of the infrared ironing plate 3 and the structure of the drying mechanism 4.

[0019] First, let's discuss the installation method of the infrared ironing plate 3.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the leveling and winding device for a water jet loom, wherein the top of the infrared ironing plate 3 is connected to a plurality of guide rods 5 that are slidably connected to the support frame 1, and each guide rod 5 is connected to a locking cap 6 that abuts against the support frame 1; and a plurality of elastic locking elements 7 for providing tension are also connected between the top of the infrared ironing plate 3 and the support frame 1.

[0021] In this embodiment, there are two guide rods 5 distributed at both ends of the infrared ironing plate 3. The elastic locking element 7 can be a spring, and there are also two springs. The two springs are located between the two guide rods 5. The cooperation between the two springs and the two guide rods 5 ensures the stable installation of the infrared ironing plate 3. By moving the guide rods 5 and locking them with the locking caps 6, the height of the infrared ironing plate 3 can be adjusted to adjust the distance between the infrared ironing plate 3 and the fabric to meet different needs.

[0022] The locking cap 6 is threadedly connected to the guide rod 5.

[0023] Secondly, there is the structure of the drying mechanism 4.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the leveling and winding device of the water jet loom, wherein the drying mechanism 4 includes a hot air drying box 41 and a first air-fabricating chamber 42, the first air-fabricating chamber 42 is disposed between the infrared ironing plate 3 and the winding mechanism 2, and a plurality of first air-fabricating holes 43 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the first air-fabricating chamber 42, and the first air-fabricating chamber 42 is connected to the hot air drying box 41 through a first air guide pipe 44.

[0025] In this embodiment, the hot air drying box 41 is installed on the top of the support frame 1. The hot air drying box 41 provides a heating medium, which is introduced into the first air distribution cavity 42 through the first air guide pipe 44 and then discharged through a number of first air distribution holes 43 to dry the flattened fabric. The dried fabric is then wound up by the winding mechanism 2.

[0026] The hot air drying oven 41 is an existing structure and its model can be YX-HG220 or HYDRY-250, etc.

[0027] Because the fabric coming out of the water jet loom has a relatively high moisture content, a second air-fabricating chamber 45 is provided in front of the infrared ironing plate 3. The bottom of the second air-fabricating chamber 45 is evenly distributed with a number of second air-fabricating holes 46. The second air-fabricating chamber 45 is connected to the hot air drying box 41 through a second air guide pipe 47.

[0028] It is understood that the heating medium provided by the hot air drying box 41 is also introduced into the second air distribution chamber 45 through the second air guide pipe 47, and then discharged through several second air distribution chambers to pre-dry the fabric and reduce the moisture in the fabric. Then the fabric is flattened without pressure by the infrared ironing plate 3, and then the heating medium discharged through several first air distribution holes 43 is used to dry the flattened fabric. Finally, the dried fabric is wound up by the winding mechanism 2.

[0029] The number of the first air distribution holes 43 is greater than the number of the second air distribution holes 46, and both the first air guide pipe 44 and the second air guide pipe 47 are equipped with regulating valves 48.

[0030] In this embodiment, a plurality of the first air holes 43 are arranged in a rectangular array at the bottom of the first air cavity 42, specifically in 3 rows × 38 columns; a plurality of the second air holes 46 are also arranged in a rectangular array at the bottom of the second air cavity 45, specifically in 2 rows × 38 columns. The drying structure on the front side of the infrared ironing plate 3 is designed to reduce the amount of fabric without drying it, which facilitates the flattening of the fabric by the infrared ironing plate 3; the drying structure on the rear side of the infrared ironing plate 3 is designed to dry the fabric, thereby reducing the risk of creases or mildew after rolling.

[0031] The first air guide pipe 44 and the second air guide pipe 47 can adjust the flow rate of the heating medium discharged inside them through the corresponding regulating valve 48 to meet different needs; the regulating valve 48 on the second air guide pipe 47 can also be closed to stop the use of the drying structure on the front side of the infrared ironing plate 3.

[0032] Next is the structure for keeping the fabric taut during this process.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, a leveling and winding device for a water jet loom, wherein a first guide roller 8 connected to a support frame 1 is provided in front of the second air distribution chamber 45, and a second guide roller 9 and a third guide roller 10 connected to the support frame 1 are provided between the first air distribution chamber 42 and the winding mechanism 2, and the second guide roller 9 and the third guide roller 10 have a certain distance in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first guide roller 8, the second guide roller 9 and the third guide roller 10 are arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction, and the first guide roller 8 and the second guide roller 9 are arranged on the inner bottom side of the support frame 1, and the third guide roller 10 is arranged on the inner top side of the support frame 1.

[0035] In use, the fabric coming out of the water jet loom is guided into the support frame 1 from the bottom of the first guide roller 8. Then the fabric passes through the second air chamber 45, the infrared ironing plate 3 and the bottom of the first air chamber 42 in sequence. Then it is discharged from the bottom side of the second guide roller 9 and the top side of the third guide roller 10 in sequence, and finally connected to the winding mechanism 2 for winding.

[0036] To adjust the fabric tension as needed, the third guide roller 10 is connected to the support frame 1 via a connecting assembly 11. The connecting assembly 11 includes an end plate 111, a connecting frame 112, and a telescopic device 113. There are two end plates 111, which are connected to the two ends of the third guide roller 10 respectively. Each end plate 111 is fitted with a guide groove 114 opened on the support frame 1. The connecting frame 112 is connected between the two end plates 111, and the telescopic device 113 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1 and connected to the connecting frame 112.

[0037] In this embodiment, the connecting frame 112 is inverted "U" shape and its two ends are respectively inserted into the two guide grooves 114 to connect with the two end plates 111; the telescopic device 113 is adjusted to extend and retract in the vertical direction, and the power is transmitted through the connecting frame 112 to drive the two end plates 111 to slide in the corresponding guide grooves 114, thereby driving the third guide roller 10 to move in the vertical direction to adjust the height of the third guide roller 10, thereby adjusting the tension of the fabric.

[0038] The telescopic device 113 can be an electric telescopic pole.

[0039] Finally, there is the winding mechanism 2.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, a leveling and winding device for a water jet loom, wherein the winding mechanism 2 includes a winding roller 21, a driver 22, and a mover 23, wherein the winding roller 21 is detachably connected to the support frame 1; the driver 22 is splinedly connected to one end of the winding roller 21; the mover 23 is connected to the driver 22 and is used to move the driver 22 to connect or disconnect from the winding roller 21.

[0041] In this embodiment, both ends of the take-up roller 21 are fitted with mounting slots on the support frame 1. After the two ends of the take-up roller 21 are placed into the two mounting slots respectively, a pressure plate is connected to each mounting slot by screws to rotatably connect the take-up roller 21 to the support frame 1. Then, the mover 23 is activated to move the driver 22 toward the take-up roller 21 until the output shaft of the driver 22 is fully embedded in the keyway opened on one end of the take-up roller 21 for spline connection. The driver 22 is activated, and the driver 22 drives the take-up roller 21 to rotate, so that the take-up roller 21 can perform the winding operation.

[0042] When the take-up roller 21 needs to be unwound after it has finished winding, the mover 23 is activated to move the driver 22 away from the take-up roller 21 until the output shaft of the driver 22 is completely removed from the keyway. After the two pressure plates are separated, the take-up roller 21 can be removed.

[0043] The driver 22 can be a motor, and the mover 23 can be a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod.

[0044] When using this leveling and winding device:

[0045] First, adjust the height of the infrared ironing board 3 according to your needs;

[0046] Then the fabric coming out of the water jet loom is guided into the support frame 1 from the bottom of the first guide roller 8. The fabric then passes through the second air chamber 45, the infrared ironing plate 3 and the bottom of the first air chamber 42 in sequence, and is then discharged from the bottom side of the second guide roller 9 and the top side of the third guide roller 10 in sequence.

[0047] Then, the hot air drying box 41 and the infrared ironing plate 3 are started by switching or controlling the switch, and the regulating valve 48 on the first air duct 44 is opened;

[0048] First, manually pull the fabric until the flattened and dried fabric is pulled to the take-up roller 21 with sufficient length. Then, cut off the unflattened and undried fabric section and then restrict one end of the flattened and dried fabric to the take-up roller 21.

[0049] Next, adjust the position of the third guide roller 10 to tension the fabric, and then start the driver 22 to continuously flatten, dry and rewind the fabric.

[0050] The regulating valve 48 on the second air duct 47 is opened as needed.
