A cotton garment production edge material recycling self-utilization device

Abstract

This application discloses a self-utilization device for recycling cotton garment scraps, belonging to the field of garment scrap recycling. The device involves loading cotton garment scraps (cotton) into a bag and spirally winding the bag around a crossbar. A traction component moves the bag back and forth, causing it to contact and squeeze the crossbar during the stretching process, thus dehydrating the cotton after it has absorbed water. Dust and dirt on the cotton are expelled through micropores with the water flow. When the bag contracts in the opposite direction, it relaxes, allowing the cotton inside to absorb water again and expand. This repeated cleaning process easily removes dust and dirt. Furthermore, an elastic bladder is added inside the bag. During the washing process, the elastic bladder expands and contracts, squeezing the cotton to dehydrate it. When the elastic bladder contracts instantaneously, the bag simultaneously relaxes in the opposite direction, making the cotton inside the bag fluffy and improving the cleaning effect. After washing, the cleaning liquid is discharged, and air is continuously supplied to the elastic bladder to facilitate the drying of the cotton.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of garment scrap recycling and self-utilization, and more specifically, to a device for recycling and self-utilizing scrap from cotton garment production. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of cotton-padded clothing production, scraps are inevitably generated. Scraps refer to the remaining waste, scraps and offcuts generated during the production and processing of cotton-padded clothing. These scraps often contain a large amount of cotton scraps, so it is necessary to collect these scraps and recycle the cotton inside.

[0003] These scraps, cut and left on the ground, often contain dust. The dust on cotton is difficult to remove, requiring washing and drying before reuse. Because cotton is highly absorbent, simply placing it in a washing tank means the fibers swell and are difficult to dehydrate without external force, leaving dust and stains trapped. While an agitation system could improve cleaning, cotton fibers easily become entangled in it, resulting in suboptimal cleaning.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a self-utilization equipment for recycling scraps from cotton clothing production to effectively solve existing practical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to solve the problem of existing cotton being difficult to clean. Compared with the prior art, it provides a cotton clothing production edge recycling and self-utilization equipment, including a washing tank with multiple horizontal bars distributed inside the washing tank. Each horizontal bar has a material bag spirally wound on it. Traction components are slidably installed at both ends of the washing tank. Electric push rods that drive the traction components are fixedly installed on the left and right end walls of the washing tank. The left and right ends of the material bag are connected to the traction components through connectors. The material bag is made of flexible material and has multiple micro-holes on its end wall. An elastic bladder is embedded inside the material bag. One end of the elastic bladder is fixedly connected to a connecting connector. The outer end of the connecting connector passes through the connector and is sealed to the traction component. The traction component connected to the connecting connector is also embedded with an air pipe that is connected to the connecting connector. Multiple solenoid valves are also distributed on the elastic bladder.

[0006] By loading cotton scraps into a filling bag and spirally winding the bag around a crossbar, the traction component moves the bag back and forth. During the stretching process, the bag contacts and squeezes the crossbar, dehydrating the cotton after it has absorbed water. Dust and dirt on the cotton are expelled through micropores with the water flow. When the bag contracts in the opposite direction, it relaxes, and the cotton inside absorbs water and expands again. This process is repeated to easily remove dust and dirt. An elastic bladder is added inside the filling bag. During the washing process, the elastic bladder expands and contracts, squeezing the cotton to dehydrate it. When the elastic bladder contracts momentarily, the filling bag relaxes in the opposite direction, making the cotton inside fluffy and improving the cleaning effect. After washing, the cleaning solution is drained, and air is continuously supplied to the elastic bladder to facilitate the drying of the cotton.

[0007] Optionally, the traction assembly includes a movable rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and multiple connecting pipes corresponding one-to-one with the positions of the filling bags are fixedly installed on the movable rod, with connecting pipe heads at the front ends of the connecting pipes.

[0008] Optionally, the end of the connector away from the filling bag is provided with a docking cavity that magnetically engages with the connecting tube head. The connecting tube head is magnetically connected to the docking cavity. During operation, the technician first puts cotton into the filling bag, then spirally winds the filling bag around the crossbar. The magnetic engagement between the connector and the connecting tube head positions the filling bag between a pair of traction components, and the traction components drive the filling bag to stretch and contract.

[0009] Optionally, the air pipe includes lower branch pipes embedded inside multiple connecting pipes and an upper main pipe inserted and installed in the moving rod. The upper ends of the multiple lower branch pipes are all connected to the upper main pipe, and the upper main pipe extends to the outer end of the moving rod and is connected to an external air pump. The external air pump is used to supply and evacuate air from the elastic bag, thereby realizing the expansion and contraction of the elastic bag to intermittently squeeze the cotton in the filling bag.

[0010] Optionally, the lower branch pipe extends to the connecting pipe head, and the connecting joint and the lower branch pipe are inserted through and sealed.

[0011] Optionally, the elastic bladder is a hollow structure made of elastic material, and the connecting joint is a hollow joint made of rigid material, with a sealing ring covering the hollow joint.

[0012] Optionally, multiple solenoid valves are connected to an external controller. When drying is required, the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank is drained, and the cleaning action is repeated, that is, the filling bag is stretched back and forth to remove the moisture from the cotton in the filling bag. Then, hot air is continuously supplied to the elastic bag, and the solenoid valve is opened to achieve the drying process of the cotton.

[0013] Optionally, the crossbar is a hollow tube with multiple through holes on its end wall.

[0014] Optionally, an ultrasonic sound-generating device is installed at the bottom of the washing tank below the crossbar. The top of the ultrasonic sound-generating device does not exceed the bottom height of the filling bag when it is contracted. During washing, ultrasonic waves are used to achieve high-frequency vibration of the water flow. The hollow tube with multiple through holes further enhances the vibration and cavitation of the washing liquid around the crossbar, thereby improving the washing effect of the cotton.

[0015] A method for using a cotton garment production edge recycling and self-utilization device includes the following steps:

[0016] S1. First, the technicians put cotton into the filling bag, then spirally wind the filling bag around the crossbar, and use the connector to position the filling bag between a pair of traction components. The electric push rod drives the traction components to pull the filling bag back.

[0017] S2. During the stretching process, the material bag contacts and squeezes the crossbar to squeeze and dehydrate the cotton after it has absorbed water. The dust on the cotton overflows through the micropores with the water flow. When it contracts in the opposite direction, the material bag is in a relaxed state and the cotton inside absorbs water and expands again. This process is repeated to complete the cleaning.

[0018] S3. During the cleaning process, air is supplied and drawn out through the air tube, and the elastic bag exhibits intermittent expansion and contraction, which is beneficial for the dehydration of the cotton inside the bag.

[0019] S4. After the cleaning work is completed, drain the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank and repeat the cleaning action, that is, stretch the filling bag back and forth to remove the moisture from the cotton in the filling bag. Then, continue to supply hot air into the elastic bag and open the solenoid valve to dry the cotton. At the same time as supplying air into the elastic bag, air is also supplied into the cleaning tank to accelerate the drying of the cotton.

[0020] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this application are:

[0021] (1) This solution involves putting cotton scraps into a filling bag and spirally winding the filling bag around a crossbar. The traction component makes the filling bag move back and forth. During the stretching process, the filling bag contacts and squeezes the crossbar, thus squeezing and dehydrating the cotton after it has absorbed water. Dust and dirt on the cotton are discharged through the micropores with the water flow. When the filling bag contracts in the opposite direction, it is in a relaxed state and the cotton inside absorbs water and expands again. This process is repeated to clean the cotton, making it easy to remove dust and dirt. In addition, an elastic bladder is added inside the filling bag. On the one hand, during the cleaning process, the elastic bladder expands and contracts, further squeezing the cotton to dehydrate it. When the elastic bladder contracts instantaneously, the filling bag relaxes in the opposite direction, making it easier for the cotton inside the filling bag to fluff up and improve the cleaning effect. On the other hand, after the cleaning is completed, the cleaning liquid is discharged and air is continuously supplied to the elastic bladder to facilitate the drying of the cotton.

[0022] (2) The traction assembly includes a movable rod that is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank. Multiple connecting tubes corresponding to the positions of the filling bags are fixedly installed on the movable rod. The front end of the connecting tube is provided with a connecting tube head. The end of the connector away from the filling bag is provided with a docking cavity that magnetically engages with the connecting tube head. The connecting tube head and the docking cavity are magnetically connected. When working, firstly, the technician puts cotton into the filling bag, and then spirally winds the filling bag around the crossbar. The magnetic engagement between the connector and the connecting tube head is used to position the filling bag between a pair of traction assemblies. The traction assemblies are used to drive the filling bag to stretch and contract.

[0023] (3) The air tube includes a lower branch tube embedded in multiple connecting tubes and an upper main tube inserted and installed in the moving rod. The upper ends of multiple lower branch tubes are connected to the upper main tube. The upper main tube extends to the outer end of the moving rod and is connected to an external air pump. The lower branch tubes extend to the connecting tube head. The connecting joint is inserted through and sealed with the air tube. The elastic bag is a hollow structure made of elastic material. The connecting joint is a hollow joint made of rigid material. The hollow joint is covered with a sealing ring. The external air pump is used to supply air to the elastic bag and to extract air, thereby realizing the expansion and contraction of the elastic bag to intermittently squeeze the cotton in the filling bag.

[0024] (4) The crossbar is a hollow tube with multiple through holes on the end wall. An ultrasonic sound-generating device is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank below the crossbar. The top of the ultrasonic sound-generating device does not exceed the bottom height of the packing bag when it is shrinking. During cleaning, ultrasonic waves are used to achieve high-frequency vibration of the water flow. The hollow tube with multiple through holes further enhances the vibration and cavitation of the cleaning liquid around the crossbar, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cotton.

[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] This application discloses a device for recycling and utilizing scrap materials from cotton clothing production. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-2 The system includes a cleaning tank 1, which contains multiple horizontal bars 2. Each horizontal bar 2 is spirally wound with a material bag 3. Traction components are slidably installed at both ends of the cleaning tank 1. Electric push rods 8 that drive the traction components are fixedly installed on the left and right end walls of the cleaning tank 1. The left and right ends of the material bag 3 are connected to the traction components through connectors 4. The material bag 3 is made of flexible material and has multiple micro-holes on its end wall. An elastic bladder 9 is embedded inside the material bag 3. One end of the elastic bladder 9 is fixedly connected to a connecting connector 91. The outer end of the connecting connector 91 passes through the connector 4 and is sealed and connected to the traction components.

[0038] Please see Figure 2-8 Specifically, the traction assembly includes a movable rod 6 slidably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. Multiple connecting pipes 5, each corresponding to a position of a material bag 3, are fixedly installed on the movable rod 6. Each connecting pipe 5 has a connecting pipe head 51 at its front end. The end of the connector 4 furthest from the material bag 3 has a docking cavity that magnetically engages with the connecting pipe head 51. The connecting pipe head 51 is magnetically connected to the docking cavity. During operation, such as... Figure 2-3As shown, firstly, the technicians put cotton into the filling bag 3, and then spirally wound the filling bag 3 around the crossbar 2. The magnetic connection between the connector 4 and the connecting tube head 51 is used to position the filling bag 3 between a pair of traction components. The traction components drive the filling bag 3 to stretch and contract. During the stretching process, the filling bag 3 contacts and squeezes the crossbar 2, thereby squeezing and dehydrating the cotton after it has absorbed water. The dust and dirt on the cotton overflow through the micropores with the water flow. When it contracts in the opposite direction, the filling bag 3 is in a relaxed state, and the cotton inside absorbs water and expands again. This process is repeated to complete the cleaning.

[0039] The traction assembly connected to the connecting joint 91 is also fitted with an air pipe 7 that communicates with the connecting joint 91. The air pipe 7 includes lower branch pipes embedded inside multiple connecting pipes 5 and an upper main pipe inserted and installed in the moving rod 6. The upper ends of the multiple lower branch pipes are all connected to the upper main pipe. The upper main pipe extends to the outer end of the moving rod 6 and is connected to an external air pump. The lower branch pipes extend to the connecting pipe head 51, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the connecting connector 91 is inserted through and sealed to the lower branch pipe. The elastic bag 9 is a hollow structure made of elastic material, and the connecting connector 91 is a hollow connector made of rigid material. The hollow connector is covered with a sealing ring. An external air pump is used to supply and evacuate air to the elastic bag 9, thereby realizing the expansion and contraction of the elastic bag 9 to intermittently squeeze the cotton in the filling bag 3, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0040] Multiple solenoid valves 92 are distributed on the elastic bag 9. All solenoid valves 92 are connected to an external controller. After the cleaning work is completed, the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 1 is discharged. The cleaning action is repeated, that is, the filling bag 3 is stretched back and forth. The filling bag 3 is squeezed and contacted with the crossbar 2 to remove the moisture from the cotton in the filling bag 3. Then, hot air is continuously supplied to the elastic bag 9 and the solenoid valves 92 are opened to achieve the drying treatment of cotton. At the same time as supplying air to the elastic bag 9, air is also supplied to the cleaning tank 1 to accelerate the drying of cotton.

[0041] It should be added that the crossbar 2 is a hollow tube with multiple through holes on its end wall. An ultrasonic sound-generating device is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 below the crossbar 2. The top of the ultrasonic sound-generating device does not exceed the bottom height of the filling bag 3 when it is contracted. This is existing technology and will not be pursued here. During cleaning, ultrasonic waves are used to achieve high-frequency vibration of the water flow. The hollow tube with multiple through holes further enhances the vibration and cavitation of the cleaning liquid around the crossbar 2, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cotton.

[0042] A method for using a cotton garment production edge recycling and self-utilization device includes the following steps:

[0043] S1. First, the technicians put cotton into the filling bag 3, then spirally wind the filling bag 3 around the crossbar 2, and use the connector 4 to position the filling bag 3 between a pair of traction components. The electric push rod 8 drives the traction components to pull the filling bag 3 back.

[0044] S2. During the stretching process, the filling bag 3 contacts and squeezes the crossbar 2 to squeeze and dehydrate the cotton after it has absorbed water. The dust on the cotton overflows through the micropores with the water flow. When it shrinks in the opposite direction, the filling bag 3 is in a relaxed state and the cotton inside absorbs water and expands again. This process is repeated to complete the cleaning.

[0045] S3. During the cleaning process, the air supply and extraction are carried out using the air pipe 7, and the elastic bag 9 exhibits intermittent expansion and contraction, which is beneficial for the dehydration of the cotton in the filling bag 3.

[0046] S4. After the cleaning work is completed, drain the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 1 and repeat the cleaning action, that is, stretch the filling bag 3 back and forth to remove the moisture from the cotton in the filling bag 3. Then, continue to supply hot air to the elastic bag 9 and open the solenoid valve 92 to dry the cotton. At the same time as supplying air to the elastic bag 9, air is also supplied to the cleaning tank 1 to accelerate the drying of the cotton.

[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application; however, the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto; any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
