Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of knitwear, and more specifically, to a steam setting device for knitwear. Background Technology
[0002] Knitted products are called textiles, which can be divided into three categories according to their use: clothing textiles, decorative textiles, and industrial products. After the raw fabric of knitted products is produced, it needs to be steam-set to flatten and shape the knitted fabric as a whole, so as to avoid wrinkles during the storage process, which would affect the subsequent cutting and use.
[0003] However, steam setting equipment for knitted fabrics has the following shortcomings in the process of smoothing and setting knitted fabrics: The high temperature of steam is conducted to the pressure plate, which then presses down on the knitted fabric to set it. Before setting, the surface of the knitted fabric is prone to absorbing lint. While the dust removal fan blows the lint away, it tends to float back onto the surface, reducing the effectiveness of lint removal. This results in lint being directly imprinted on the knitted fabric surface during setting. Furthermore, the square structure of the pressure plate means that its edges can leave marks on the knitted fabric during pressing, further reducing the overall smoothness and setting effect.
