Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of textile processing technology, specifically to a yarn rack for textile processing. Background Technology

[0002] A yarn rack is a shelf used to hold and support yarn, typically made of materials such as metal, wood, or plastic. Depending on the application, yarn racks can be designed in different styles and structures, such as multi-layer yarn racks, rotating yarn racks, and mobile yarn racks. The main function of a yarn rack is to facilitate the management, storage, and transportation of yarn, preventing it from becoming tangled and damaged. It can effectively improve production efficiency, reduce waste, and lower production costs.

[0003] In the textile manufacturing process, operators need to move yarn bobbins and place them on yarn bobbin holders on yarn racks. Manual loading is time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring the hiring of specialized operators, which increases the company's labor costs. For large-scale production lines, this may reduce production efficiency, increase production costs, and limit the improvement of production capacity. During manual loading, improper operation or negligence may cause yarn bobbins to slip, leading to safety accidents. Furthermore, manual loading may result in the yarn being placed in the wrong position on the yarn bobbin holder or not being placed securely, causing the yarn bobbins to loosen and fall during transportation, injuring workers.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a yarn frame for textile processing to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, and to address the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a yarn frame for textile processing to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A yarn rack for textile processing includes a base, a support frame above the base, casters below the base, a flipping mechanism on the base, and inner support mechanisms on both sides of the support frame.

[0008] The flipping mechanism includes a connecting platform, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the connecting platform, a flipping plate is provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and a support frame is provided on the top of the flipping plate;

[0009] The internal support mechanism includes a yarn bobbin support, the outer surface of which is provided with a groove, and a slider for supporting the yarn bobbin is provided in the groove.

[0010] The rotating shaft rotates while the flipping plate flips, causing the slider, which is slidably connected to the outer surface of the yarn bobbin, to support the inner wall of the yarn bobbin. The outer surface of the slider is curved and equipped with anti-slip pads. The curved surface of the slider can better adapt to the shape of the inner wall of the yarn bobbin, increasing the contact area and improving the stability of the support. At the same time, the anti-slip pads can increase friction and prevent the yarn bobbin from sliding or tipping over during the flipping process.

[0011] Preferably, the flipping mechanism further includes a guide rail, which is located at both ends of the top of the base. A rack is slidably connected inside the guide rail, and straight slots are provided through both ends of the base.

[0012] Preferably, the rack has a protrusion at its bottom end, the base has mounting grooves at both ends, a cylinder is installed in the mounting groove, the cylinder output shaft is connected to the protrusion, the protrusion passes through the straight groove, and gears are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft, the gears meshing with the rack.

[0013] The teeth of the rack are distributed at both ends, which can better balance the effect of gravity and ensure the stability and accuracy of the flip angle, thus better controlling the flip angle, reducing the impact and wear on the transmission components, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the connecting platform is provided with a second guide rail, which is located on the outer side of the connecting platform. A limiting frame is slidably connected inside the second guide rail, which is used to limit the rotating shaft to cause the flip plate to flip.

[0015] The limiting frame is used to restrict the rotating shaft to cause the flipping plate to flip. The distance from the bottom of the protrusion of the limiting frame to the center of the rotating shaft is equal to the distance from the center of the rotating shaft to the connecting table, so as to realize the reciprocating flipping of the support frame, improve the stability and reliability of the equipment, reduce the failure rate, ensure the continuity and smoothness of production, and avoid the problem of manual flipping or manual handling of the yarn frame in the traditional production process.

[0016] Preferably, there are two limiting frames. One limiting frame has abutment block 1 at both ends, which is close to the protrusion. The other limiting frame has abutment block 2 at both ends, which is far from the protrusion. A connecting rod is provided between the opposite surfaces in the middle of the two limiting frames.

[0017] The connecting rod is used to drive the limiting frame to move left and right, preventing the rotating shaft from detaching from the connecting table.

[0018] Preferably, the inner support mechanism further includes a piston cylinder disposed in the inner cavity of the yarn bobbin holder, and a limit rod is slidably connected to the outer surface of the yarn bobbin holder, the limit rod penetrating through the yarn bobbin holder.

[0019] Preferably, a return spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the limiting rod, one end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the slider, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the yarn bobbin holder. A compression spring is provided on the side of the piston cylinder near the support frame.

[0020] The compression spring and the return spring are used to reset the piston head, causing the extrusion block to move away from the support frame, thus preparing for the next feeding. Due to the automatic reset function of the compression spring, the operator does not need to intervene manually, which simplifies the operation. The stability and reliability of the compression spring enable it to maintain its performance in multiple repeated uses, reducing the failure rate and improving the reliability of the production process.

[0021] Preferably, a piston head is slidably connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder, the end of the compression spring away from the support frame is connected to the piston head, a piston rod is provided on the side of the piston head away from the support frame, the piston rod passes through the end of the piston cylinder away from the support frame, and a compression block is provided on the end of the piston rod away from the support frame.

[0022] The compression block compresses the slider, causing the slider to support the inner wall of the yarn bobbin, which can increase the stability of the yarn bobbin during the flipping process and reduce the risk of tilting or sliding.

[0023] Preferably, a first chamber is provided on the side of the piston head away from the support frame, and a second chamber is provided on the side of the piston cylinder close to the support frame. Both the first chamber and the second chamber are sealed spaces.

[0024] Preferably, the outer surface of the piston cylinder is provided with an exhaust pipe, which connects the first chamber and the second chamber.

[0025] The first and second chambers are connected by an air outlet pipe to maintain stable air pressure inside the piston cylinder. When the piston head is squeezed, the air pressure in the two chambers is not equal, which causes the inner support mechanism to loosen after flipping, making it easier for workers to unload the material. The support and flipping action of the yarn bobbin can be completed quickly and accurately, avoiding the slowness and uncertainty of manual operation.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a yarn frame for textile processing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. The set-in flipping mechanism drives the yarn frame to flip left and right. Through the reciprocating flipping process, manual intervention and operation time can be reduced, avoiding safety production problems caused by improper human operation, reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency. The use of gear and rack transmission can improve the stability and reliability of the equipment, reduce the failure rate, and ensure the continuity and smoothness of production. It avoids the problem of manually flipping the yarn frame in the traditional production process, and can complete the flipping action quickly and accurately.

[0028] 2. By using a flipping mechanism to drive an internal support mechanism, the inner wall of the yarn bobbin is supported, replacing manual feeding. After flipping, the slider releases, facilitating unloading. This allows for quick and accurate support and flipping of the yarn bobbin, avoiding the slowness and uncertainty of manual operation, thus improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, it ensures the stability and balance of the yarn bobbin during flipping, preventing problems such as yarn slippage and twisting caused by improper operation, thereby guaranteeing yarn product quality. Furthermore, it reduces manual intervention and operation time, lowering labor and production costs. At the same time, it reduces accidents and damage caused by improper operation, reducing production losses and maintenance costs. It also reduces direct contact between workers and hazardous equipment and yarn, lowering safety risks during operation and improving the safety of the production process.

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and 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.

[0040] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown:

[0042] To address the problems mentioned in the technical solutions, this application provides a yarn rack for textile processing, including a base 1, a support frame 3 above the base 1, casters 2 below the base 1, a flipping mechanism on the base 1, and internal support mechanisms on both sides of the support frame 3. The flipping mechanism includes a connecting platform 406, a rotating shaft 407 rotatably connected to the connecting platform 406, a flipping plate 408 on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 407, and the support frame 3 positioned at the top of the flipping plate 408. The flipping mechanism also includes a guide rail 4, which is located at both ends of the top of the base 1. A rack 401 is slidably connected within the guide rail 4, and straight slots 404 are provided through both ends of the base 1.

[0043] The bottom end of the rack 401 is provided with a protrusion 405, and the bottom ends of the base 1 are provided with mounting grooves 402. A cylinder 403 is provided in the mounting groove 402. The output shaft of the cylinder 403 is connected to the protrusion 405. The protrusion 405 passes through the straight groove 404. Gears 409 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft 407. The gears 409 mesh with the rack 401.

[0044] A guide rail 410 is provided at the top of the connecting platform 406 and is located on the outer side of the connecting platform 406. A limiting frame 411 is slidably connected inside the guide rail 410. There are two limiting frames 411. One limiting frame 411 has abutment blocks 413 at both ends, which are close to the protrusion 405. The other limiting frame 411 has abutment blocks 414 at both ends, which are far away from the protrusion 405. A connecting rod 412 is provided between the opposite faces of the middle of the two limiting frames 411.

[0045] The effects achieved by the above embodiments are as follows: Utilizing the limiting effect of the limiting frame 411 and the cooperative arrangement of gears 409 and racks 401, the flipping plate 408 is flipped while simultaneously causing the support frame 3 to flip on both sides for material feeding. Through the transmission of gears 409 and racks 401, the flipping plate 408 and support frame 3 can be flipped quickly and accurately, enabling rapid yarn bobbin changing and continuous production, thereby improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, it reduces manual intervention and operation time, lowers labor and production costs, and reduces accidents and damage caused by improper human operation. By precisely controlling the flipping angle and speed of the flipping plate 408 and support frame 3, the accurate placement of the yarn can be ensured, avoiding problems such as yarn slippage and misalignment, thus guaranteeing the quality of the yarn products.

[0046] Further embodiments

[0047] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 As shown:

[0048] To address the problems mentioned in the technical solutions, this application provides a yarn rack for textile processing, including a base 1, a support frame 3 above the base 1, casters 2 below the base 1, a flipping mechanism on the base 1, and internal support mechanisms on both sides of the support frame 3. The internal support mechanisms also include a piston cylinder 505, which is disposed within the inner cavity of a yarn bobbin holder 5. A limit rod 503 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the yarn bobbin holder 5, penetrating through the yarn bobbin holder 5. A return spring 504 is sleeved on the outer surface of the limit rod 503, with one end fixedly connected to a slider 502 and the other end fixedly connected to the inner wall of the yarn bobbin holder 5. A compression spring 506 is provided on the side of the piston cylinder 505 near the support frame 3.

[0049] A piston head 507 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder 505. The end of the compression spring 506 away from the support frame 3 is connected to the piston head 507. A piston rod 508 is provided on the side of the piston head 507 away from the support frame 3, and a compression block 509 is provided on the end of the piston rod 508 away from the support frame 3. A first chamber 511 is provided on the side of the piston head 507 away from the support frame 3, and a second chamber 512 is provided on the side of the piston cylinder 505 close to the support frame 3. Both the first chamber 511 and the second chamber 512 are sealed spaces. An exhaust pipe 510 is provided on the outer surface of the piston cylinder 505, and the exhaust pipe 510 connects the first chamber 511 and the second chamber 512.

[0050] The above embodiments achieve the following effects: The clamping action of the inner support of the slider 502 allows for quick and accurate yarn bobbin flipping, improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, releasing the bobbin after flipping facilitates unloading, further reducing operation time and steps. It ensures the stability and balance of the yarn bobbin during flipping, preventing yarn scattering and twisting, thus guaranteeing yarn product quality. Releasing the bobbin after flipping facilitates unloading, reducing the operational difficulty and labor intensity for workers, and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, it reduces direct contact between workers and hazardous equipment and yarn, lowering safety risks during operation and improving production safety.

[0051] The working principle of all the contents in the above embodiments is as follows:

[0052] Initial state: The yarn rack for textile processing is pushed onto a horizontal ground. After production, the yarn bobbins are arranged on the bracket in a certain order. The cylinder 403 is in an unactivated state. The flip plate 408 and the base 1 are in a horizontal state. Under the restriction of the return spring 504, the slider 502 is located in the inner cavity of the yarn bobbin holder 5. Under the restriction of the compression spring 506, the piston rod 508 causes the squeezing block 509 to move away from the yarn bobbin holder 5.

[0053] The following is the working process of the tilting mechanism:

[0054] After starting cylinder 403, the output shaft of cylinder 403 drives the protrusion 405 in the straight groove 404 to slide towards the abutment block 413. Consequently, rack 401 is driven to gradually approach and engage with abutment block 413. As rack 401 continues to slide within guide rail 4, it continuously presses against abutment block 413. Under the action of connecting rod 412, the limiting frame 411 on the side away from abutment block 413 slides within guide rail 410. Its protruding part limits the rotating shaft 407, causing gear 409 on the side away from abutment block 413 to begin rotating counterclockwise by 90 degrees, driving the support frame 3 at the top of the flip plate 408 to rotate counterclockwise by 90 degrees. Conversely, when the output shaft of cylinder 403 drives the protrusion 405 in the straight groove 404 to move towards the abutment block 413, the gear 405 moves towards the abutment block 413. As the rack 401 slides towards the abutment block 414, it gradually approaches and engages with the abutment block 414. As the rack 401 continues to slide within the guide rail 4, it continuously presses against the abutment block 414. Driven by the connecting rod 412, the limiting frame 411 on the side away from the abutment block 414 slides within the guide rail 410. Its protruding part limits the rotation shaft 407, causing the gear 409 on the side away from the abutment block 414 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise. This causes the support frame 3 on the top of the flipping plate 408 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise. This reciprocating flipping process reduces manual intervention and operation time, avoids safety issues caused by improper human operation, and improves work efficiency while reducing labor intensity. Using gear 409 and rack 401 transmission improves the stability and reliability of the equipment, reduces the failure rate, and ensures continuous and smooth production.

[0055] The following is the working process of the internal support mechanism:

[0056] When the support frame 3 is flipped by the flipping mechanism, the squeezing block 509 first abuts against the support of the yarn bobbin. As the squeezing block 509 continues to move towards the support frame 3, the outer surface of the squeezing block 509 squeezes the slider 502, causing the slider 502 to slide out of the groove 501 on the yarn bobbin support 5. At this time, the compression spring 506 is compressed, and the outer surface of the slider 502 supports the inner wall of the yarn bobbin. Simultaneously, the squeezing block 509 squeezes the piston head 507 at the other end of the piston rod 508, causing the gas in the second chamber 512 to be squeezed into the first chamber 511 through the air outlet pipe 510. The air pressure in the first chamber 511 increases, and the air pressure in the second chamber 512 decreases. At this time, the compression spring 506 is compressed. When the squeezing block 509 loses its squeezing effect... Afterwards, the compression spring 506 loses its restraint, which in turn causes the piston head 507 to gradually move away from the support frame 3. Since the air inlet pipe is a thin hose, the gas in the first chamber 511 slowly enters the second chamber 512 through the air outlet pipe 510. During this period, the flipping mechanism flips the yarn bobbin after the inner support mechanism is supported. The flipping mechanism drives the inner support mechanism to support the inner wall of the yarn bobbin, replacing manual feeding. After the flipping is completed, the slider 502 is released, which facilitates unloading. The yarn bobbin can be supported and flipped quickly and accurately, avoiding the slowness and uncertainty of manual operation, improving production efficiency. At the same time, it can ensure the stability and balance of the yarn bobbin during the flipping process, avoiding the problem of yarn slippage caused by improper human operation, and reducing the safety risks in the operation process.
