[0021] Reference Figure 1-2 A steam preshrinkage tank comprises an outer tank body 12, which is provided with a cloth inlet and a cloth outlet; an inner tank body 10, which is arranged in the outer tank body 12, and an opening is arranged at the bottom of the inner tank body 10; a plurality of guide pipes 11, which are all arranged in the inner tank body 10 for providing steam, wherein the guide pipes 11 are interconnected; two grooves, which are arranged at the bottom of the outer tank body 12 at intervals, and the two side walls of the inner tank body 10 extend into the two grooves respectively, and there is a gap between the two side walls of the inner tank body 10 and the bottom of the two grooves; a plurality of cloth guide rollers 13, each of which is arranged in a staggered manner up and down, and is respectively arranged at the cloth inlet, the cloth outlet, The inner groove body 10 and the two grooves are used to guide the movement of the fabric. This steam pre-shrinkage groove guides the fabric to fully contact the steam to complete the pre-shrinkage of the fabric surface by setting a number of cloth guide rollers 13, and a certain amount of water is set on the left groove 121 to prevent steam from leaking from the left groove 121. When water is not set on the right groove 122, the fabric can be pre-treated by steam direct spraying. When water is set on the right groove 122, the internal steam concentration of this steam pre-shrinkage groove can be controlled by adjusting the water level of the right groove 122, so as to achieve the effect of removing water ripples on the fabric, and at the same time pre-shrink the fabric surface, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of subsequent cleaning of the fabric.

[0022] In this embodiment, the groove is a right-angle U-shaped groove, which can more effectively control the amount of steam leakage and allow the fabric surface to be pre-shrunk more fully.

[0023] In other embodiments, the bottom of the groove may be in an arc shape or a triangle shape.

[0024] In this embodiment, at least two sets of cloth guide rollers 13 are provided in the inner tank 10 to allow the fabric to fully contact the steam.

[0025] In other embodiments, a plurality of sets of cloth guide rollers 13 may be provided in the inner tank 10 according to actual conditions, and the cloth guide rollers 13 are arranged in a staggered manner up and down to allow the cloth surface to fully contact the steam.

[0026] In this embodiment, a threaded opening roller 14 is provided between each set of cloth guide rollers 13. The diameter of the opening roller 14 is larger than the diameter of the cloth guide roller 13, so as to reduce the resistance to the movement of the fabric.

[0027] In other embodiments, the threads on the opening roller 14 may be divided in the center, with left-handed threads being arranged on the left and right-handed threads being arranged on the right.

[0028] In this embodiment, each guide pipe 11 is respectively arranged between each group of cloth guide rollers 13 arranged up and down, so as to ensure that the steam contacts the surface of the fabric at the first time.

[0029] In other embodiments, the guide pipe 11 can be set at any position of the inner tank body 10. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the water volume on the right groove 122 to ensure that there is enough steam inside the inner tank body 10.

[0030] In this embodiment, a plurality of air outlets are provided on the surface of the flow guide tube 11, and steam is sprayed out through the air outlets or nozzles to ensure that the steam acts on the surface of the fabric more evenly.

[0031] In other embodiments, the flow guide pipe 11 may also be a hollow pipe with an opening, and the steam is directly ejected from the opening.

[0032] In this embodiment, the flow guide pipes 11 are interconnected in order to keep the pressure of the ejected steam consistent.

[0033] In other embodiments, each flow guide pipe 11 may correspond to a plurality of steam generating devices, and in this case, the steam output of each steam generating device needs to be kept consistent.

[0034] In this embodiment, the axes of the cloth guide rollers 13, the width opening rollers 14 and the guide tube 11 are parallel, ensuring that the axes are perpendicular to the moving direction of the fabric, thereby guiding the fabric more efficiently.

[0035] A washing machine includes a steam pre-shrinking tank in the present embodiment; a steam generating device, the output end of which is connected to a flow guide pipe 11; and a water replenishing device, the output end of which is respectively connected to two grooves. Before washing fabrics, the steam generating device is used to provide steam to the steam pre-shrinking tank, and the water volume in the two grooves is controlled by the water replenishing device, and then the fabrics are pre-treated by the steam pre-shrinking tank.

[0036] This steam preshrinkage tank includes two main parts, an inner tank body 10 and an outer tank body 12, wherein the two side walls of the outer tank body 12 are provided with a cloth inlet and a cloth outlet, wherein the cloth inlet is arranged on the right side wall of the outer tank body 12, and the cloth outlet is arranged on the left side wall of the outer tank body 12, and two grooves are arranged at the bottom of the outer tank body 12, and the grooves are divided into a left groove 121 and a right groove 122, and the inner tank body 10 is fixed in the outer tank body 12, and a guide pipe 11 is arranged in the inner tank body 10, specifically, an opening is opened at the bottom of the inner tank body 10, the inner tank body 10 is fixed in the middle position of the outer tank body 12, and the two side walls of the inner tank body 10 are just placed in the two grooves, at this time, there is a certain gap between the ends of the two side walls of the inner tank body 10 and the bottoms of the left groove 121 and the right groove 122, and the gap between the left groove 121 and the left side wall of the inner tank body 10 is filled with water on the left groove 121, so that steam cannot flow out of the left groove 121.

[0037] Since the left groove 121 prevents steam from flowing out through a water seal, the steam concentration inside the inner tank body 10 must be adjusted by adjusting the water inlet on the right groove 122. The right groove 122 divides the steam pre-shrinkage tank into two working states by whether or not water is filled in the steam pre-shrinkage tank. When the right groove 122 is not filled with water, the fabric is in a water-free state when the fabric guide roller 13 guides the fabric from the fabric inlet to the left groove 121. At this time, the steam pre-shrinkage groove performs dry spraying on the fabric, and the effect of pre-shrinking the fabric surface can be achieved by dry spraying; when it is necessary to adjust the steam concentration inside the inner tank body 10 to save costs, water can be added to the right tank body. The water level on the right tank body determines the size of the steam outflow opening. The higher the water level, the smaller the distance from the right side wall end of the inner tank body 10 to the water surface, so the smaller the steam outflow opening, and the higher the steam concentration inside the inner tank body 10; the lower the water level, the greater the distance from the right side wall end of the inner tank body 10 to the water surface, so the larger the steam outflow opening, and the lower the steam concentration inside the inner tank body 10. At this time, the fabric will be wetted after the fabric guide roller 13 guides the fabric from the fabric inlet through the right groove 122. The fabric passes through the inner tank body 10 and is further processed by steam to achieve the effect of removing water ripples on the fabric surface.

[0038] This steam pre-shrinkage groove guides the fabric to pass through the fabric inlet, the right groove 122, the inner groove body 10, the left groove 121, and the fabric outlet in sequence by setting a plurality of fabric guide rollers 13, so that the fabric can fully contact the steam to complete the pre-shrinkage of the fabric surface, and a certain amount of water is set on the left groove 121 to prevent steam from leaking from the left groove 121. When no water is set on the right groove 122, the fabric can be dry-sprayed for pre-treatment. When water is set on the right groove 122, the internal steam concentration of this steam pre-shrinkage groove can be controlled by adjusting the water level of the right groove 122. This steam pre-shrinkage groove can remove the water ripple effect on the fabric while pre-shrinking the fabric surface, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of subsequent cleaning of the fabric.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
