Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of garment processing technology, and specifically relates to a processing equipment for garment fabrics or materials. Background Technology

[0002] In the garment manufacturing process, fabrics or materials undergo multiple processing steps, including dyeing, washing, drying, and ironing, before being made into garments. In the drying process, the moisture in the fabric or material is typically squeezed out first, and then it is dried using hot air. However, the drying equipment is large, the processing steps are cumbersome, and the time required is long, resulting in low drying efficiency, a large footprint, high production costs, and poor processing returns for garment processing enterprises. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a processing equipment for clothing fabrics or materials, which has a compact structure, small footprint, and high drying efficiency, thereby reducing enterprise investment and improving economic benefits.

[0004] A garment fabric or material processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention has a first direction, a second direction, and a vertical direction that are perpendicular to each other, and includes:

[0005] The housing has cavities extending along a first direction, the cavities penetrating opposite sides of the housing in the first direction and forming an inlet and an outlet.

[0006] An extrusion mechanism is disposed within the cavity. The extrusion mechanism includes a support and at least two extrusion roller groups spaced apart along a first direction. Each extrusion roller group includes two rollers extending axially along a second direction. The two rollers are positioned vertically opposite each other and jointly define a material channel. Each roller is rotatably mounted on the support. Any two adjacent extrusion roller groups can move vertically in opposite directions.

[0007] A drive mechanism is used to drive the extrusion roller assembly to move in the up-down direction;

[0008] The heating element is located inside the cavity.

[0009] The garment fabric or material processing equipment according to embodiments of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: In the drying process, the garment fabric or material enters the cavity of the chamber from the feed inlet, passes through the material channels of all the extrusion roller groups, and moves out of the cavity from the discharge outlet; when the garment fabric or material passes through the cavity, due to the extrusion action exerted by the two opposing rollers, the moisture contained in the garment fabric or material can be squeezed out, which helps to shorten the drying time of the garment fabric or material; a heating mechanism is provided in the cavity, which can raise the air temperature in the cavity, and through the interaction between the high-temperature air and the garment fabric or material... The heat exchange process completes the drying of the garment fabric or material. Moreover, the drive mechanism drives all the squeezing roller groups to move in the up-down direction, and any two adjacent squeezing roller groups move in opposite directions. Therefore, under the driving action of the squeezing roller groups, the garment fabric or material located in the cavity will move up and down and present a wave-like posture. At this time, the moisture contained in the garment fabric or material can be thrown out. At the same time, it can accelerate the flow rate of the high-temperature air in the cavity relative to the garment fabric or material, thereby enhancing the heat exchange effect between the high-temperature air and the garment fabric or material, further reducing the drying time, and allowing the garment fabric or material to be dried faster.

[0010] This invention not only utilizes multiple extrusion roller sets to squeeze out moisture from clothing fabrics or materials, but also uses multiple extrusion roller sets and a drive mechanism to drive the clothing fabrics or materials to move up and down within a high-temperature cavity, which can perform spin-drying treatment on the clothing fabrics or materials. At the same time, it allows the high-temperature air to have better contact and heat exchange with the clothing fabrics or materials, thereby improving drying efficiency and processing benefits. Since the moisture squeezing, spin-drying and air heating processes are carried out simultaneously within the cavity, the structure of the entire processing equipment is more compact, reducing the floor space required and thus reducing production input.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, the support includes a horizontal frame, a connecting rod, and a vertical frame. The horizontal frame is located above the vertical frame and is hinged to the housing at the middle in a first direction so that the horizontal frame can swing about an axis in a second direction. The vertical frames are respectively provided on opposite sides of the horizontal frame in the first direction. The vertical frames are slidably connected to the housing in an upper and lower manner. A connecting rod is provided between the vertical frame and the horizontal frame. The opposite ends of the connecting rod are respectively hinged to the horizontal frame and the vertical frame. Two extrusion rollers are provided and are respectively provided on the two vertical frames. The output end of the drive mechanism is connected to the horizontal frame to drive the horizontal frame to reciprocate.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a rotary drive and an eccentric wheel. The rotary drive is connected to the housing, and the eccentric wheel is connected to the output shaft of the rotary drive. The bracket has a force-bearing part on one side in a first direction. The force-bearing part is connected to the cross frame. The upper surface of the force-bearing part abuts against the circumferential surface of the eccentric wheel. A weight is provided on the other side.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, the weight is a water collection hood, which has a water collection port extending in a second direction and opening upwards. The bottom of the water collection hood is provided with a drain pipe. The water collection hood is located near the feed port. The water collection hood is located directly below the extrusion roller assembly and is connected to the vertical frame.

[0014] In some embodiments of the invention, all of the extrusion rollers in the group of extrusion rollers near the feed inlet are heated rollers.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, all of the rollers in the extrusion roller group near the discharge port are cooling rollers.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present invention, the heating mechanism includes a plurality of heating elements arranged along a first direction, the heating elements being located below the extrusion roller assembly.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present invention, the inner wall surface of the cavity is provided with a heat reflector.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present invention, the heating element is a heating sheet and is laid on the lower wall surface of the cavity, and the heat reflector is a heat reflective film.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present invention, the feed inlet and the discharge outlet are respectively provided with limiting roller groups, each limiting roller group including two support rollers extending axially along a second direction, the two support rollers being vertically opposite each other and jointly defining a limiting channel for clothing fabric or material to pass through, and each support roller being rotatably disposed on the box body.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

The use of terms like "first," "second," and "third" is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, the number of indicated technical features, or the sequential relationship between indicated technical features.

[0028] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 2 The following are several embodiments of the processing equipment for clothing fabrics or materials of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, the processing equipment for clothing fabrics or materials provided according to an embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the drying process of workpiece 800, such as clothing fabrics or materials. The processing equipment has a first direction, a second direction, and a vertical direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction and the vertical direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the first direction is the front-back direction, and the second direction is the left-right direction.

[0031] The processing equipment for clothing fabrics or materials includes a housing 100, an extrusion mechanism, a drive mechanism, and a heating mechanism.

[0032] The box 100 has a hollow interior forming a cavity 110. The length of the cavity 110 extends along the first direction. The cavity 110 passes through the opposite sides of the box 100 in the first direction and forms an inlet and an outlet.

[0033] In this embodiment, the inlet is located on the front side of the housing 100, and the outlet is located on the rear side of the housing 100. The shape and size of the inlet and outlet can be adjusted to allow clothing fabric or material to pass through. The inlet and outlet can be rectangular. The housing 100 is cuboid in shape. The bottom of the housing 100 can be provided with multiple support legs. The cavity 110 is a cuboid-shaped cavity.

[0034] The extrusion mechanism is disposed within the cavity 110 of the housing 100. The extrusion mechanism includes a support frame and at least two extrusion roller sets. The at least two extrusion roller sets are arranged at a certain interval along a first direction. Each extrusion roller set includes two rollers 300, each roller 300 extending axially along a second direction. The two rollers 300 are arranged vertically opposite each other, and there is a certain vertical distance between the two rollers 300. Therefore, the two rollers 300 together define a material passage for clothing fabric or materials to pass through.

[0035] Understandably, during the drying process, the garment fabric or material enters the cavity 110 of the chamber 100 through the feed inlet, passes through the material channels of all the extrusion rollers, and moves out of the cavity 110 through the discharge outlet. The garment fabric or material at the discharge outlet is subjected to a certain tensile force; specifically, a winding drum can be used to wind the fabric or material. The garment fabric or material within the material channels simultaneously comes into contact with both rollers 300 and is subjected to the extrusion force applied by the two rollers 300.

[0036] As the garment fabric or material moves along the first direction and passes through the cavity 110 of the box 100, it is subjected to the squeezing action of two opposing rollers 300. Therefore, each set of squeezing rollers can squeeze out the moisture contained in the garment fabric or material, reduce the moisture content of the garment fabric or material, thereby shortening the drying time of the garment fabric or material and allowing the garment fabric or material to be dried faster.

[0037] Each roller 300 can be mounted on a bracket via bearings, allowing the roller 300 to rotate relative to the bracket around a central axis extending laterally. The length of the roller 300 is greater than the width of the garment fabric or material, so that the fabric or material can be compressed at all points in the width direction. The diameter of the roller 300 can be set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here. During operation, for each compression roller group, the position between the two vertically opposite rollers 300 is fixed, that is, their vertical distance remains constant.

[0038] It is understandable that when the garment fabric or material passes through the material channel, there is friction between the roller 300 and the garment fabric or material, which allows the roller 300 to rotate, reducing the friction between the roller 300 and the garment fabric or material, thereby reducing the pulling force of the take-up drum on the garment fabric or material and preventing the garment fabric or material from being torn.

[0039] Any two adjacent extrusion roller sets can move in the vertical direction, and their directions of movement are opposite. It can be understood that for two adjacent extrusion roller sets, if one extrusion roller set moves upward, the other extrusion roller set moves downward.

[0040] The function of the drive mechanism is to drive the extrusion roller assembly to move in the up and down direction.

[0041] In some examples, each extrusion roller assembly is equipped with a drive mechanism, which can be a linear drive device such as a pneumatic cylinder, electric cylinder, hydraulic cylinder or linear module, enabling the extrusion roller assembly to reciprocate in the up-down direction.

[0042] In other examples, multiple extrusion roller groups are sequentially arranged along a first direction and divided into odd-numbered groups and even-numbered groups. The support includes a first frame and a second frame that are separated from each other. The odd-numbered extrusion roller groups are mounted on the first frame, and the even-numbered extrusion roller groups are mounted on the second frame. Drive mechanisms are provided for both the first and second frames. These drive mechanisms can be linear drive devices such as pneumatic cylinders, electric cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, or linear modules, ensuring that the odd-numbered extrusion roller groups move simultaneously in the same direction, and the even-numbered extrusion roller groups move simultaneously in the same direction, with the odd-numbered and even-numbered extrusion roller groups moving in opposite directions.

[0043] Understandably, the drive mechanism drives all the extrusion rollers to move in the up-down direction, and the movement directions of any two adjacent extrusion rollers are opposite. Therefore, under the driving action of all the extrusion rollers, the clothing fabric or material located in the cavity 110 will move up and down and present a wave-like posture. During this movement, the moisture contained in the clothing fabric or material can be thrown out, further reducing the moisture content of the clothing fabric or material. Moreover, the up-and-down movement of the clothing fabric or material can play a good role in agitating the air, increasing the air velocity, and allowing the air to better exchange heat with the clothing fabric or material, thereby further reducing the drying time and increasing the drying speed of the clothing fabric or material.

[0044] The heating element is located inside the cavity 110 of the chamber 100. The function of the heating element is to generate heat, which raises the air temperature inside the cavity 110, providing a high-temperature environment for drying clothing fabrics or materials.

[0045] It is understandable that a heating mechanism is installed in the cavity 110, which can raise the air temperature inside the cavity 110. Through heat exchange between the high-temperature air and the clothing fabric or material, the drying work of the clothing fabric or material can be completed, and the drying time can be further reduced.

[0046] In the processing equipment provided in this embodiment of the invention, multiple extrusion roller groups, a drive mechanism, and a heating mechanism work together to efficiently complete the drying of clothing fabrics or materials. Not only do multiple extrusion roller groups squeeze out moisture from the clothing fabrics or materials to remove a large amount of water, but the drive mechanism and multiple extrusion roller groups also drive the clothing fabrics or materials to move up and down in a high-temperature environment. This serves two purposes: firstly, it allows for spin-drying of the clothing fabrics or materials, further reducing moisture; secondly, it agitates the high-temperature air, allowing it to flow better and faster, resulting in better contact and heat exchange between the high-temperature air and the clothing fabrics or materials. This significantly improves drying efficiency, reduces processing time, and enhances the processing benefits of the clothing fabrics or materials.

[0047] In the processing equipment provided in this embodiment of the invention, since the water extrusion, spin drying and air heating processes are carried out simultaneously in the cavity 110 of the housing 100, and the degree of automation is high, the structure of the entire processing equipment is more compact, reducing the floor space occupied by the processing equipment, thereby reducing the production input of the enterprise, such as by reducing the area of ​​the factory and the number of staff, thus reducing production input.

[0048] In some embodiments, the support structure includes a horizontal frame 210, a connecting rod 230, and a vertical frame 220.

[0049] The horizontal frame 210 extends along the first direction, while the vertical frame 220 extends vertically. The horizontal frame 210 is located above the vertical frame 220, and its center in the first direction is hinged to the housing 100 via a hinge shaft, allowing the horizontal frame 210 to swing about an axis along a second direction. It is understood that the horizontal frame 210 can be formed by connecting multiple metal profiles in a crisscross pattern.

[0050] Two vertical frames 220 are provided. One vertical frame 220 is located on one side of the horizontal frame 210 in the first direction, and the other vertical frame 220 is located on the opposite side of the horizontal frame 210 in the first direction. Each vertical frame 220 is slidably connected to the housing 100 in the vertical direction. Specifically, the vertical frame 220 can be mounted on the side wall of the cavity 110 via a slide rail slider pair, allowing the vertical frame 220 to move up or down relative to the housing 100. It can be understood that the vertical frame 220 can also be formed by connecting multiple metal profiles in a crisscross pattern.

[0051] A connecting rod 230 is provided between the horizontal frame 210 and each vertical frame 220, with its opposite ends hinged to the horizontal frame 210 and the vertical frame 220 respectively. Specifically, one end of the connecting rod 230 is hinged to the end of the horizontal frame 210 in a first direction via a hinge shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod 230 is hinged to the upper end of the vertical frame 220 via a hinge shaft. The hinge axis of the connecting rod 230 extends along a second direction. It can be understood that the number of connecting rods 230 between the horizontal frame 210 and the vertical frame 220 can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0052] There are two extrusion roller sets, one of which is set on one of the vertical supports 220, and the other extrusion roller set is set on the other vertical support 220.

[0053] The output end of the drive mechanism is connected to the cross frame 210. When the drive mechanism is running, the output end of the drive mechanism can drive the cross frame 210 to swing back and forth.

[0054] Understandably, when the horizontal frame 210 swings clockwise under the drive of the driving mechanism, one of the extrusion roller groups rises with the corresponding vertical frame 220, and the other extrusion roller group falls with the corresponding vertical frame 220; when the horizontal frame 210 swings counterclockwise under the drive of the driving mechanism, one of the extrusion roller groups moves down with the corresponding vertical frame 220, and the other extrusion roller group rises with the corresponding vertical frame 220.

[0055] During the reciprocating swing of the cross frame 210, each extrusion roller group moves up and down, causing the garment fabric or material to undulate in the first direction. This helps to expel the moisture and agitate the high-temperature air in the cavity 110, promoting better heat exchange between the air and the garment fabric or material, thus drying the garment fabric or material at a faster speed.

[0056] With the above structural setup, only one drive mechanism is needed to enable all the extrusion rollers to move in opposite directions simultaneously, reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0057] In one example, the drive mechanism includes a rotary drive and an eccentric wheel 400.

[0058] The rotary drive component can be fixedly connected to the housing 100 using bolts. The rotary drive component may include a drive motor and a transmission structure, which may be a speed reducer, coupling, etc.

[0059] The eccentric wheel 400 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotary drive component. It can be understood that the circumferential surface of the eccentric wheel 400 has a lowest point and a highest point, where the lowest point has the smallest vertical distance from the output shaft of the rotary drive component, and the highest point has the largest vertical distance from the output shaft of the rotary drive component. The circumferential surface between the lowest and highest points is an arc surface, and the arc surfaces on both sides of the lowest point are symmetrically arranged.

[0060] The support frame includes a load-bearing section and a weight. The load-bearing section is located on one side of the support frame in the first direction and is connected to the crossbeam 210. Specifically, the load-bearing section can be a block and is positioned in the middle of the crossbeam 210 in the second direction. The load-bearing section is located below the eccentric wheel 400, and its upper surface abuts against the circumferential surface of the eccentric wheel 400. The weight is located on the opposite side of the support frame in the first direction and can be connected to either the crossbeam 210 or the vertical frame 220. The weight can be, but is not limited to, an iron block. The weight of the weight is greater than the weight of the load-bearing section.

[0061] Understandably, since a weight is provided on one side of the support and a force-bearing part is provided on the other side of the support to work in conjunction with the eccentric wheel 400, the weight of the weight is greater than the weight of the force-bearing part. Therefore, the support is unbalanced in the first direction. Under the gravity of the weight, the support can swing downward toward the side of the weight. Moreover, when the rotary drive is working, the eccentric wheel 400 rotates around the left-right extending axis. The circumferential surface of the eccentric wheel 400 will contact the force-bearing part. The eccentric wheel 400 can apply downward pressure to the force-bearing part, so that the support can swing downward toward the side of the force-bearing part.

[0062] When the lowest point of the eccentric wheel 400 abuts against the upper surface of the force-bearing part, the bracket swings downward toward the side facing the weight; when the highest point of the eccentric wheel 400 abuts against the upper surface of the force-bearing part, the bracket swings upward toward the side facing the weight. By cooperating with the weight, the force-bearing part, the rotary drive component, and the eccentric wheel 400, a downward pressure is applied to one side of the bracket, which allows the bracket to swing back and forth like a seesaw.

[0063] The above-described structure allows the support to drive all the extrusion rollers in continuous reciprocating motion, ensuring continuous operation and thus improving drying efficiency.

[0064] In a preferred example, the weight is provided as a water collection hood 500. The water collection hood 500 has a water collection port at its upper part, which is open upwards and extends longitudinally along a second direction. A drain outlet with a drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the water collection hood 500. It is understood that the water collection port can be rectangular, and its length dimension is greater than the width dimension of the clothing fabric or material. The drain pipe can be connected to a drainage pool. Viewed along the second direction, the water collection hood 500 can be funnel-shaped.

[0065] The water collection hood 500 is located near the feed inlet of the housing 100. The water collection hood 500 is located directly below the extrusion roller assembly. Furthermore, the water collection hood 500 can be fixedly connected to the vertical frame 220 by bolts. The water collection hood 500 can move up and down together with the vertical frame 220. The vertical distance between the water collection hood 500 and the extrusion roller assembly remains constant.

[0066] It is understood that in this embodiment, there are two extrusion roller groups. One extrusion roller group is located near the feed inlet and can be defined as the first roller group, while the other extrusion roller group is located near the discharge outlet and can be defined as the second roller group. The water collection hood 500 is positioned directly below the first roller group. The first roller group squeezes out all the water contained in the garment fabric or material, and the squeezed-out water will fall into the water collection hood 500 due to gravity. Therefore, it is not necessary to place the water collection hood 500 directly below the second roller group. In this configuration, the eccentric wheel 400 and the rotary drive component are located near the discharge outlet. This arrangement eliminates the need for additional weights on the support frame.

[0067] Of course, it is not ruled out that a motor or rotary cylinder may be used to drive the hinge shaft between the crossbeam 210 and the housing 100, with the hinge shaft fixedly connected to the crossbeam 210. Alternatively, a cylinder or electric cylinder may be used, respectively hinged between the housing 100 and the crossbeam 210.

[0068] In some embodiments, in the extrusion roller group near the feed inlet, all rollers 300 are heated rollers 300.

[0069] In some examples, each roller 300 in the first roller group has a heating element 600 on its outer circumferential surface; in other examples, each roller 300 in the first roller group has a hollow structure, and a heating element 600 is disposed inside the hollow structure. By energizing the heating element 600 and generating a large amount of heat, the roller 300 can transfer heat to the garment fabric or material when in contact with it, thereby heat-treating the garment fabric or material.

[0070] Understandably, during the dewatering process of the first roller group, roller 300 can also heat the garment fabric or material to increase its temperature and promote faster drying.

[0071] Furthermore, in the extrusion roller group near the discharge port, all rollers 300 are cooling rollers 300.

[0072] In some examples, in the second roller group, each roller 300 has a hollow interior forming an air cavity. One end of each roller 300 has an air inlet connected to the air cavity and can be connected to a cooling air duct. The outer circumferential surface of each roller 300 has an air outlet connected to the air cavity. During contact between the second roller group and the garment fabric or material, cooling air is introduced into the air cavity and flows out of the air outlet, thus cooling the garment fabric or material.

[0073] In other examples, in the second roller group, each roller 300 is equipped with a thermoelectric cooler, which can be located on the outer circumferential surface of the roller 300 or the inner circumferential surface of the roller 300. By operating the thermoelectric cooler and generating a large amount of cooling energy, the roller 300 can transfer this cooling energy to the garment fabric or material when in contact with it, thereby lowering the temperature of the fabric or material. This results in an even lower temperature when the fabric or material leaves the cavity 110, eliminating the need for further cooling equipment.

[0074] In some embodiments, the heating mechanism includes a plurality of heating elements arranged along a first direction, with the heating elements located below the extrusion roller assembly.

[0075] In some examples, the heating element can be an infrared heating tube, fixed to the lower wall of cavity 110. In other examples, the heating element is a heating plate 600, specifically a ceramic heating plate 600, which is laid on the lower wall of cavity 110. This arrangement increases the heating area on the lower wall of cavity 110.

[0076] Furthermore, the inner wall surface of the cavity 110 is provided with heat reflectors. Specifically, heat reflectors are provided on the upper wall surface, left and right side walls, and front and rear side walls of the cavity 110.

[0077] In some examples, the heat reflector is a heat reflective film, specifically an aluminum film, which is laid on the inner wall surface of cavity 110. In other examples, the inner wall surface of cavity 110 is provided with a heat reflective coating, thereby forming a heat reflective wall surface.

[0078] Understandably, by installing heat reflectors inside the cavity 110, the heat absorbed by the chamber 100 is reduced, allowing the cavity 110 to provide a constant-temperature drying environment.

[0079] In addition, a temperature sensor is installed inside cavity 110 to monitor the temperature inside cavity 110 in real time. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to a display screen. Specifically, the processing equipment can be equipped with a host computer, which integrates a controller, a display screen, and operation buttons. Of course, the display screen can be a touch screen.

[0080] Understandably, when the drying process begins, the heating mechanism is activated first to bring the temperature inside the cavity 110 to the set value. At this time, the temperature sensor is used to determine whether the temperature inside the cavity 110 meets the standard. Then, the drive mechanism is activated to begin the processing steps such as squeezing out the moisture from the clothing fabric or material, spun drying, and heating the air.

[0081] In some embodiments, limiting roller assemblies are provided at the inlet and outlet of the housing 100, respectively. These limiting roller assemblies can be located inside or outside the cavity 110. Each limiting roller assembly includes two support rollers 700, each extending axially along a second direction. The two support rollers 700 are positioned vertically opposite each other and together define a limiting channel for the passage of garment fabric or material. Each support roller 700 is mounted on the housing 100 via a bearing seat, allowing the support roller 700 to rotate relative to the housing 100.

[0082] Understandably, the setting of the limiting roller group causes the garment fabric or material located between the feed inlet and the discharge outlet to move up and down under the action of the extrusion roller group, while the garment fabric or material located outside the cavity 110 still maintains a horizontal movement.

[0083] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
