Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automatic heating equipment technology, specifically to an automatic trousers steam heating device for smoothing out trousers. Background Technology

[0002] After the pants are finished, especially for elastic pants such as thermal pants and long underwear, the pants need to be put on a shaping board. Then the shaping board will carry the pants into the steam heating chamber. The steam heating chamber will heat and shape the pants, so that the pants are in a flat state, thus achieving steam heating and shaping. During the steam setting process described above, the loading of the trousers is entirely done manually. Workers first place each pair of trousers onto the setting plate, and then multiple workers flatten the trousers to eliminate wrinkles and ensure they are laid flat on the setting plate. The following problems exist in this process: 1. The leveling process requires a large number of workers, resulting in high labor costs; 2. When adjusting manually, the flatness of the pants cannot be effectively guaranteed, and the hem and tie often cannot be properly positioned, resulting in the pants failing to achieve the required shaping effect. In summary, there is a need for a steam heating device that can automatically smooth out trousers. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Furthermore, the support plate is rotatably connected to the clamping cylinder, and a third motor is installed at the rotatable connection. This invention provides an automatic trousers-smoothing steam heating device. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. During the feeding stage, the shaping plate is partially exposed, which allows one person to quickly put the pants on the shaping plate. They only need to put them on without flattening them. Another person can then make simple adjustments to align the cuffs with the shaping plate and the straps with the first clamping component. This ensures the accuracy and shaping effect of the subsequent automatic flattening, as well as the continuity and speed of production. 2. When the pants enter the first drying zone, the lifting component can drive the shaping plate to move upward. With the cooperation of the lifting component and the second clamping component, the pants can be flattened on the shaping plate to achieve automatic flattening. During the flattening process, the first steam heating component discharges a small amount of steam to preheat the pants. After the flattening is completed, the first steam heating component discharges a large amount of steam to achieve high-temperature steam shaping. The whole process is simple, fast, and has a good flattening effect. No manual intervention is required, which solves the problem that the traditional flattening process is completely dependent on manual labor. 3. When the pants enter the second drying zone, the first clamping component keeps the straps of the pants still, and the third clamping component moves the pant legs in a flat state. This allows the buttocks to wrinkle and deform, achieving automatic and precise wrinkling and deformation of the buttocks without manual operation. Attached Figure Description

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Example 1 To address the technical problems in the background section, the following automatic trousers-flattening steam heating device is provided: Combination Figures 1-13As shown, the automatic flattening trouser steam heating device provided by the present invention includes a feeding area and a first drying area 91a on one side of a circulating track 9a, and a discharging area 93a and a second drying area 92a on the other side of the circulating track 9a. The feeding area and the discharging area 93a are arranged correspondingly, and the first drying area 91a and the second drying area 92a are arranged opposite to each other. A feeding conveyor belt 9c is provided on the side of the feeding area, and a discharging conveyor belt 9b is provided on the side of the discharging area 93a. Packaging cartons are placed on both the feeding conveyor belt 9c and the discharging conveyor belt 9b. Multiple sets of spaced-apart shaping support assemblies are installed on the circulating track 9a. Each shaping support assembly includes multiple shaping plates 3. A lower frame 1 is installed at the bottom of each shaping plate 3. The shaping plate 3 serves as the suit support structure for the trouser body 9. A lifting assembly 2 is installed inside the lower frame 1. The bottom end of the shaping plate 3 is connected to... The lifting assembly 2 has a through slot 11 on the top surface of the lower frame 1 for the shaping plate 3 to slide through. The lifting assembly 2 is used to drive the lifting action of the shaping plate 3. A first clamping assembly 4 is symmetrically installed on the top surface of the lower frame 1; a first steam heating assembly 5 is installed in the first drying zone 91a; a second clamping assembly 54 is slidably installed inside the first steam heating assembly 5; a second steam heating assembly 6 is installed in the second drying zone 92a; a third clamping assembly 63 is slidably installed inside the second steam heating assembly 6. The shaped support assembly includes the following states: In the first state, the shaping support assembly is placed in the feeding area; part of the shaping plate 3 is retracted into the lower frame 1 and the other part extends out of the lower frame 1; the worker puts the pants body 9 on the shaping plate 3, and the binding part 93 of the pants body 9 is placed between the two sets of first clamping assemblies 4; the cuff of the pants body 9 is flush with the top of the shaping plate 3, and the pants body 9 is in a pleated state. In the second state, the shaping support assembly is placed in the first drying zone 91a; the first clamping assembly 4 clamps the strap portion 93 of the pants body 9, and the second clamping assembly 54 clamps the cuff of the pants body 9. The lifting assembly 2 drives the shaping plate 3 to move upward, and simultaneously drives the second clamping assembly 54 to move upward, so that the pleated pants body 9 gradually unfolds and is flatly fitted onto the shaping plate 3; at the same time, the first steam heating assembly 5 performs continuous preheating and shaping treatment on the pants body 9. In the third state, the shaping support assembly is placed in the second drying zone 92a; the third clamping assembly 63 clamps the pant leg 91 of the pant body 9, the lifting assembly 2 drives the shaping plate 3 to move downward, and simultaneously drives the third clamping assembly 63 to move downward, so that the pant buttock 92 gradually changes into a wrinkled state; the second steam heating assembly 6 performs steam heating treatment on the wrinkled pant buttock 92.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the coordinated design of the lower frame 1, the shaping plate 3, and the lifting assembly 2 can achieve the following effects: 1. During the feeding stage, the shaping plate 3 is partially exposed, which allows one person feeding pants to quickly put the pants on the shaping plate 3. They only need to put them on and do not need to flatten them. Another person feeding pants can then do a simple adjustment to align the cuffs with the shaping plate 3 and the straps 93 with the first clamping component 4. This ensures the accuracy and shaping effect of the subsequent automatic flattening, as well as the continuity and speed of production. 2. When the pants enter the first drying zone 91a, the lifting component 2 can drive the shaping plate 3 to move upward. With the cooperation of the lifting component 2 and the second clamping component 54, the pants can be smoothly placed on the shaping plate 3 to achieve automatic flattening. During the flattening process, the amount of steam discharged by the first steam heating component 5 is small, which achieves preheating of the pants. After the flattening is completed, the first steam heating component 5 discharges a large amount of steam to achieve high-temperature steam shaping. The whole process is simple, fast, and has a good flattening effect. No manual intervention is required, which solves the problem that the traditional flattening process is completely dependent on manual labor. 3. When the pants enter the second drying zone 92a, the first clamping component 4 keeps the binding part 93 of the pants stationary, and the third clamping component 63 moves the pant leg 91 in a flat state. In this way, the buttocks 92 can be wrinkled and deformed, realizing the automatic and precise wrinkling and deformation of the buttocks 92 without manual operation.

[0019] Example 2 Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following: To enable the first drying zone 91a and the second drying zone 92a to achieve the aforementioned technical effects, this embodiment provides the following solution: In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 2 includes a lifting plate 21, a first motor 22, and a first screw 23. The lifting plate 21 is slidably installed inside the lower frame 1. The first screw 23 is symmetrically installed inside the lifting plate 21. The first motor 22 is provided at the bottom end of the first screw 23. The top end of the first screw 23 is rotatably connected to the top of the interior of the lower frame 1. A shaping plate 3 is vertically provided on the surface of the lifting plate 21. The shaping plate 3 slides through the through slot 11 of the lower frame 1. The first clamping assembly 4 includes a first drive rod 41 and a first clamping plate 42. The first drive rod 41 is provided on the top surface of the lower frame 1. The first clamping plate 42 is provided at the output end of the first drive rod 41. A marking plate 421 is provided on the side of the first clamping plate 42. The marking plate 421 is used as a marking line for the fitting position of the strap part 93.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the two sets of first motors 22 drive the corresponding first screws 23 to rotate, which can drive the lifting plate 21 to move up and down along the lower frame 1, thereby realizing the lifting and adjustment of the shaping plate 3; the first drive rod 41 drives the first clamping plate 42 to open and close, which can realize the clamping and separation of the strapping part 93. The marking plate 421 can help the loading and adjustment personnel to determine the position of the strapping part 93 and ensure accuracy.

[0021] In this embodiment, the first steam heating assembly 5 includes a first chamber 51 and a first inner plate 52; the first chamber 51 has a first steam chamber 511 inside, and the inner wall of the first steam chamber 511 is symmetrically provided with the first inner plate 52.

[0022] In the above technical solution, when the shaping plate 3 enters the first steam chamber 511 through the side opening, the second drive rod 541 can drive the second clamping plate 542 to extend and retract. The second clamping plate 542 can clamp and position the leg opening of the pants body 9. At the same time, when the shaping plate 3 moves upward, the second drive rod 541 follows and moves upward along the central sliding groove 521, ensuring that the leg opening and the strap 93 remain stationary during the shaping and stretching process of the pants, and the pleats of the pants can gradually unfold; the nozzle 53 can then spray steam, and the nozzle 53 is connected to the steam generator.

[0023] In this embodiment, the second steam heating assembly 6 includes a second chamber 61 and a second inner plate 62. The second chamber 61 has a second steam chamber 611 inside. The inner wall of the second steam chamber 611 is symmetrically provided with the second inner plate 62. The second inner plate 62 and the first inner plate 52 adopt the same structure. Both sides of the second steam chamber 611 are open structures. The length of the second steam chamber 611 is the same as the length of the pants body 9. The second clamping assembly 54 includes a third drive rod 631 and a third clamping plate 632. The outer end of the third drive rod 631 is vertically slidably mounted on the second inner plate 62. The inner end of the third drive rod 631 is provided with the third clamping plate 632. The third clamping plate 632 is used to clamp the pant leg 91 of the pants body 9.

[0024] In the above technical solution, when the shaping plate 3 enters the second steam chamber 611 from the side opening, the third drive rod 631 can drive the third clamping plate 632 to extend and retract. The third clamping plate 632 can clamp and position the pant leg 91 of the pant body 9. The length of the third clamping plate 632 is the same as the length of the pant leg 91. At the same time, when the shaping plate 3 moves downward, the second drive rod 541 follows and moves downward along the middle sliding groove 521 to ensure that the buttocks 92 of the pants form a pleated part.

[0025] Example 3 Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following: In the solutions of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, workers need to remove the pants one by one and then put them into the cardboard box; to solve this problem, the following solution is provided: In this embodiment, a feeding assembly 7 is installed inside the feeding area 93a. The feeding assembly 7 includes a top plate 71, a movable seat 72, a clamping member, and a constraint plate 77. The movable seat 72 is installed on the bottom surface of the top plate 71, and the clamping member is provided at the bottom end of the movable seat 72. The clamping member includes a constraint plate 77, a fourth clamping plate 73, and a fifth clamping plate 74. The fourth clamping plate 73 and the fifth clamping plate 74 are vertically and symmetrically slidably installed on the bottom surface of the constraint plate 77. The shaping support assembly also includes the following state: Fourth state, the shaping support assembly is placed in the feeding area 93a; the first clamping assembly 4 is disengaged from the strap portion 93 of the pants body 9, and the fourth clamping plate 73 and the fifth clamping plate 74 are clamped to the pant leg portion 91 of the pants body 9; the lifting assembly 2 drives the shaping plate 3 to move downward, so that the shaping plate 3 gradually separates from the pants body 9, and the pants body 9 is transferred to the clamping member.

[0026] In the above technical solution, when the shaping plate 3 moves to the unloading area 93a, the shaping plate 3 moves between the fourth clamping plate 73 and the fifth clamping plate 74. Then the fourth clamping plate 73 and the fifth clamping plate 74 clamp the pant leg 91 of the pant body 9. Then the lifting component 2 drives the shaping plate 3 to move downward, and the pant body 9 can be separated from the shaping plate 3 and clamped on the clamping component, realizing the automatic separation of the pant body 9 without the need for workers to remove them one by one.

[0027] In this embodiment, a first traction wheel 75 is installed on one side of the bottom surface of the top plate 71, and a second traction wheel 76 is installed on the other side of the bottom surface. A first traction rope 751 is wound around the outer wall of the first traction wheel 75, and a second traction rope 761 is wound around the outer wall of the second traction wheel 76. The first traction rope 751 and the second traction rope 761 are respectively connected to the two sides of the movable seat 72. The first traction wheel 75 is located above the lower frame 1, and the area below the second traction wheel 76 is the picking area. The movable seat 72 is slidably installed on the bottom surface of the top plate 71. The first traction rope 751 is used to drive the movable seat 72 to move, so that the clamping component moves the removed pants to the picking area, so that the worker can remove the pants and transfer them to the packaging carton of the unloading conveyor belt 9b. A first guide plate 711 and a second guide plate 712 are symmetrically provided on the bottom surface of the top plate 71. The first traction rope 751 passes through the first guide plate 711, and the second traction rope 761 passes through the second guide plate 712. In the above technical solution, the first traction wheel 75 and the second traction wheel 76 arranged on the left and right can drive the moving seat 72 to move horizontally left and right. In this way, after the automatic material picking is completed, the moving seat 72 and the pants can be automatically transferred to the picking area, and the worker can stand in the picking area to wait, making the operation more convenient.

[0028] In the solutions of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, the sides of each shaping plate 3 face both sides to ensure a flat effect. However, when the shaping plate 3 moves to the unloading area 93a, each pair of pants faces both sides and is not arranged relative to each other. This results in the pants needing to be removed and then aligned and stacked. To solve this problem, the following solution is provided: In this embodiment, the movable seat 72 includes an upper plate 721, a main housing 722, and a lower plate 723. The upper plate 721 is slidably installed in the top plate 71. The main housing 722 is provided on the bottom surface of the upper plate 721. A second motor is installed inside the main housing 722. The lower plate 723 is provided on the bottom surface of the main housing 722. The first traction rope 751 and the second traction rope 761 are connected to both sides of the lower plate 723. The output end of the second motor rotates through the lower plate 723 and is fixedly connected to the constraint plate 77. In the fourth state, the distribution state of the pants body 9 and the clamping member is the same as the distribution state of the shaping plate 3. The shaping support assembly also includes the following state: In the fifth state, the second motor drives the clamping member to rotate, which in turn drives the detached pants to rotate, so that each pants body 9 rotates to a relatively spaced distribution state, so that when the worker takes off the pants, each pair of pants can be folded together.

[0029] In the above technical solution, when the pants body 9 is clamped and removed in the fourth state, the second motor drives the clamping part to rotate, so that the pants are transformed into a corresponding arrangement state. This makes it easier to fit and align the pants when removing them, and the alignment effect is better.

[0030] Although the second motor can drive the clamping parts to rotate, the gap between the shaping plates 3 after rotation is large, making it inconvenient to pick up and stack the parts. To solve this problem, the following solution is proposed: In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the top plate 71 is provided with a first guide groove 713, a second guide groove 714, a third guide groove 715, a fourth guide groove 716, and a fifth guide groove 717; the third guide groove 715 is a straight line, and the second guide groove 714 and the fourth guide groove 716 are symmetrically spaced on both sides of the third guide groove 715; the first guide groove 713 and the fifth guide groove 717 are symmetrically spaced on both sides of the third guide groove 715; the outer side of the second guide groove 714 is spaced from the first guide groove 713; the fourth guide groove 716... A fifth guide groove 717 is provided at intervals on the outer side of the guide groove 716. The slope of the first guide groove 713 is greater than that of the second guide groove 714. A set of movable seats 72 is installed on the bottom surface of the first guide groove 713, the second guide groove 714, the third guide groove 715, the fourth guide groove 716, and the fifth guide groove 717. The design of the first guide groove 713, the second guide groove 714, the third guide groove 715, the fourth guide groove 716, and the fifth guide groove 717 is used to reduce the spacing between the various clamping components, making it easier for workers to fold and remove the pants. The shaped support assembly also includes the following states: In the sixth state, the first traction wheel 75 winds up the first traction rope 751, and the second traction wheel 76 slowly releases the second traction rope 761, so that the five sets of clamping parts move along the corresponding guide grooves from the shaping plate 3 to the top of the picking area, and during the movement, each clamping part moves closer to the other.

[0031] In the above technical solution, by arranging five divergent guide grooves, the moving seat 72 moves along the corresponding guide grooves. In this way, when the first traction rope 751 pulls the moving seat 72, each clamping component can not only move the pants to the top of the picking area, but also move closer to each other at the same time, making it convenient for workers to pull them off in one go.

[0032] In this embodiment, the picking area is equipped with a picking assembly 8, which includes a first side plate 81, a clamping cylinder 83, and a second side plate 84. The first side plate 81 and the second side plate 84 are arranged opposite to each other. The inner wall of the second side plate 84 is vertically provided with a support plate 811. The inner end of the support plate 811 is connected to the clamping cylinder 83. The output end of the clamping cylinder 83 is symmetrically equipped with a sixth clamping plate 831 arranged vertically. The bottom inner wall of the second side plate 84 is vertically and horizontally provided with a bottom plate 841. The surface of the bottom plate 841 is vertically and slidably equipped with a movable plate 851. The top of the movable plate 851 is vertically provided with an insert plate 85. The insert plate 85 and the sixth clamping plate 831 are arranged opposite to each other. The insert plate 85 is used to push each pair of pants to be folded and inserted between the two sixth clamping plates 831.

[0033] In the above technical solution, the clamping component moves the pants body 9 between the first side plate 81 and the second side plate 84. The second screw 86 can drive the movable plate 851 to move horizontally. The movable plate 851 moves along the bottom plate 841. The movable plate 851 and the insert plate 85 form a 7-shape. The insert plate 85 inserts the bottom of each relatively arranged pants body 9 between the two second clamping plates 542. The clamping cylinder 83 drives the sixth clamping plate 831 to clamp the inserted and stacked pants body 9, thereby separating the fourth clamping plate 73 and the fifth clamping plate 74 from the pants, realizing the automatic unloading of the pants; and realizing the automatic alignment and stacking of each pair of pants. The stacked pants are clamped by the sixth clamping plate 831 and will not loosen.

[0034] In this embodiment, the support plate 811 is rotatably connected to the clamping cylinder 83, and a third motor 82 is installed at the rotatable connection.

[0035] The third motor 82 can drive the clamping cylinder 83 to rotate, thereby turning the folded pants toward the worker standing on the side of the unloading conveyor belt 9b. The worker only needs to take off the folded pants and put them into the packaging carton.
