Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of clothing processing, and particularly discloses a semi-automatic neat ironing machine for wool sweaters. Background Art

[0002] At the end of wool sweater production, sweaters need to be ironed to ensure their appearance and quality before leaving the factory. Currently, there are two ways to iron sweaters before they leave the factory: manual ironing and automatic ironing. Manual ironing is inefficient and produces inconsistent ironing results. Automatic ironing utilizes ironing equipment to automate the entire process.

[0003] For example, the invention patent with application number 202211504702.4 discloses an efficient ironing device for wool sweaters, which includes a chain conveyor and a full-pressure ironing device. The full-pressure ironing device includes a base, a steam generating water tank, an ironing template, and a steam pressure hood. The ironing template is vertically fixed to the base, and the steam pressure hood is movably arranged in front of the ironing template by a telescopic drive member. An ironing mesh panel is provided on the side of the steam pressure hood facing the ironing template. The steam generating water tank and the steam pressure hood are connected by a pipe. The base is provided with an automatic sleeve arm stretching mechanism for flattening the wool sweater hung on the hanger. This invention patent is an assembly line automatic ironing device. Using it for ironing wool sweaters greatly improves ironing efficiency. However, the wool sweater is stretched by the hanger and the automatic sleeve arm stretching mechanism, and the entire stretching process is carried out inside the full-pressure ironing device. It is impossible to effectively observe the stretching effect of the wool sweater before ironing. Once the wool sweater is stretched unevenly and neatly, it will affect the quality of the product after ironing.

[0004] Another example is the invention patent with application number 201910061093.1, which discloses a wool sweater ironing device, including a base and a quick ironing mechanism and an ironing and drying mechanism inside the base. The quick ironing mechanism includes a water inlet pipe, a water storage tank, a connecting pipe, a micro water pump, a steam generator, an air inlet pipe, a supporting leg, a limit column, a limit plate, a sleeve, a through hole, a spring, a fixed block, a guide rail, a slider, a pressure cover, a handle, an electric heating plate, a steam chamber and a steam hole. The wool sweater ironing device disclosed in this patent is a semi-automatic device. Before ironing, the wool sweater needs to be placed between two plywoods, flattened by the pulling action of the plywood, and then ironed. Although this device ensures the flattening effect of the wool sweater before ironing, the flattening action time of the wool sweater is relatively long, and the unfolding and loading operation cannot be performed during the ironing process, which seriously restricts the ironing efficiency of the wool sweater. Therefore, in response to the above-mentioned shortcomings of existing wool sweater ironing equipment, this application proposes a semi-automatic neat ironing machine for wool sweaters, which greatly improves the ironing efficiency and ensures the quality of the ironed product while ensuring the ironing effect of the wool sweaters. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a semi-automatic neat ironing machine for wool sweaters, which can greatly improve the ironing efficiency and ensure the quality of the ironed products while ensuring the ironing effect of the wool sweaters.

[0006] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A semi-automatic neat ironing machine for wool sweaters comprises a base and an ironing box, wherein the ironing box is arranged at one end of the base, and a flattening feeding mechanism is arranged at the other end of the base. A conveyor belt assembly is arranged in the ironing box, and an ironing mechanism is arranged at the upper end of the inner cavity of the ironing box and faces the conveyor belt assembly. Material toggling mechanism, its both sides respectively have a cylinder pressure, and the cylinder pressure bar connects swing arm, and the swing arm end face has hook portion, and a bar passes position between the end of two swing arms and the hook portion. The swing arm ends up being rotated by the hook portion. The swing arm ends are in the rotation with the push of a button bar, and a push arm is connected with the button bar at the bottom end.

[0007] During use, the semi-automatic sweater straightening and ironing machine disclosed in the present invention involves an operator loading the sweater by inserting it between two vertical stays. A moving mechanism then moves the two stays away from each other, thereby flattening the sweater at and below the chest. Simultaneously, as the pull cord gradually releases the rotator cuff stays, the torsion springs cause the two stays to rotate toward the sweater's shoulders, flattening the sweater's shoulders and long sleeves and preventing wrinkles in the sweater's underarm area.

[0008] After the sweater is fully stretched and flattened, the drive mechanism causes the sweater to begin rotating toward one side of the conveyor belt assembly until it is laid on the upper surface of the conveyor belt assembly. The moving mechanism is then controlled to move the two vertical supports toward each other, thereby releasing the support provided by the vertical supports and the shoulder and cuff supports to the sweater. After this release, the conveyor belt assembly transports the neatly stretched and laid sweater to the bottom of the ironing mechanism, which then irons the sweater. During this ironing process, the flattening feeding mechanism rotates and resets. After resetting, the operator can continue loading the sweater as usual, allowing the loading and flattening process to proceed simultaneously with the ironing process, ensuring efficient ironing. Furthermore, the unique design of the flattening feeding mechanism allows for quick loading and neatly spread sweaters, ensuring effective ironing.

[0009] As a further development of the above solution, a rotating seat is provided on the upper surface of the base, and a rotating rod is provided on the bar crate, connected to the rotating seat. One end of the rotating rod is connected to a circular disc. The drive mechanism includes a rotatably mounted telescopic drive rod, the movable end of which is connected to a non-central protruding shaft on the circular disc. This is one specific method for switching the flat loading mechanism between perpendicular and parallel positions relative to the conveyor belt assembly. Rotational adjustment of the entire flat loading mechanism can be achieved by controlling the extension or contraction of the telescopic drive member.

[0010] As a further development of the above scheme, the moving mechanism includes a bidirectional lead screw and a guide slide arranged parallel to each other within the bar box. A lead screw motor is connected to the end of the bidirectional lead screw. The moving block is provided with a screw hole block and a slide block, which interact with the bidirectional lead screw and the guide slide, respectively. This is one specific embodiment of the moving mechanism. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the bidirectional lead screw, the two moving blocks are moved toward or away from each other through the combined action of the bidirectional lead screw, the screw hole block, and the guide slide and slide block.

[0011] As a further configuration of the above solution, the ironing box is arranged with an inclined opening at a side end facing the flattening feeding mechanism, and the conveyor belt assembly includes belt rollers rotatably arranged in the ironing box, and a conveyor belt is arranged between the belt rollers. The end of the conveyor belt close to the flattening feeding mechanism is arranged upwardly and inclined, and the upper end of the conveyor belt located below the ironing mechanism is arranged horizontally.

[0012] As a further configuration of the above solution, the inclined section of the conveyor belt is set at an inclination angle of 15 to 30 degrees.

[0013] The above is one specific design approach for a conveyor belt assembly. It utilizes an inclined section of the conveyor belt to receive the stretched, flattened sweater. The friction created by the conveyor belt surface then transports the sweater directly below the ironing mechanism for ironing. Furthermore, the conveyor belt's inclination angle should not exceed 30° when transporting sweaters. This prevents insufficient friction from causing the sweater to slip and prevent accurate delivery to the ironing mechanism.

[0014] As a further configuration of the above scheme, the ironing mechanism includes a lifting device arranged on the top of the ironing box, the lower end of the lifting device is connected to the ironing board assembly, and a support plate supporting the upper end of the conveyor belt is arranged below the ironing board assembly.

[0015] As a further configuration of the above scheme, the ironing board assembly includes a rectangular box with an opening at the lower end, a pressure plate that fits the surrounding side walls is provided in the rectangular box, the lower end of the lifting device passes through the rectangular box and is connected to the pressure plate, and a spring is connected between the pressure plate and the rectangular box, a steam hole is provided on the pressure plate, and a blocking column that interacts with the steam hole is connected to the top wall of the rectangular box.

[0016] The above is a specific design scheme for the ironing mechanism. During the downward pressing process, the ironing plate assembly disclosed in this scheme first presses the lower opening of the rectangular box against the upper surface of the conveyor belt, thereby positioning the sweater within and preventing steam from escaping during the ironing process. Subsequently, as the pressure continues to decrease, the pressing plate continues to move downward, overcoming the action of the spring. This not only separates the steam vent from the blocking column, allowing the high-temperature steam inside to escape, but also flattens and irons the sweater, ensuring an effective ironing effect.

[0017] As a further configuration of the above solution, a steam generator is further included, the steam generator is connected to a steam delivery pipe, and the steam delivery pipe is connected to a telescopic pipe communicating with the upper end of the inner cavity of the rectangular box.

[0018] As a further feature of the above solution, an industrial camera is installed above the conveyor belt assembly, electrically connected to a control box, and sweater flattening markings are provided on the outer surface of the conveyor belt assembly. The present invention utilizes the industrial camera to capture the sweater's condition after it is laid on the conveyor belt surface. The images are then compared to determine the flattening effect of the sweater before ironing. If any non-compliance is detected, an alarm is immediately issued, prompting the operator to make timely adjustments, thereby avoiding the problem of unevenly unfolded sweaters undergoing ironing, which could result in reduced ironing quality.

[0019] As a further feature of the above solution, a discharge opening is provided on the ironing box, away from the flat loading mechanism. A downwardly inclined discharge plate is disposed within the discharge opening, with the upper end of the discharge plate extending into the interior of the ironing box and abutting against the upper end of the conveyor belt assembly. The design of the discharge opening and discharge plate can be combined with the conveyor belt's transmission function. Once the sweater is ironed, the discharge plate automatically discharges it from the ironing box, achieving automatic discharge.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: During use of the semi-automatic neat ironing machine for wool sweaters disclosed in the present invention, an operator only needs to put the wool sweater on two vertical support bars, and then the wool sweater can be automatically stretched and flattened. The wool sweater is then automatically placed on a conveyor belt and conveyed to an ironing box in a flattened state for ironing. At the same time, the loading operation can be carried out synchronously during the ironing process of the wool sweater, so that the ironing process of the wool sweater can be carried out continuously. The entire ironing machine can greatly improve the efficiency of ironing the wool sweater while ensuring the ironing effect of the wool sweater.

[0021] The flattening feeding mechanism in this semi-automatic neat ironing machine for wool sweaters is novel and ingenious in design. When stretching and unfolding the wool sweater, you only need to put the sweater on two vertical supports, and then the two vertical supports will open the chest and below of the sweater. At the same time, the two shoulder and sleeve supports can unfold the shoulders and long sleeves of the sweater, so that the unfolded sweater is neat and has no wrinkles, which greatly ensures the product quality of the sweater after ironing.

[0022] The ironing mechanism of this semi-automatic neat ironing machine for wool sweaters is specially designed, which not only avoids the leakage of a large amount of steam during the ironing process and reduces the ironing energy consumption, but also can use the high-temperature pressing plate to flatten and iron the wool sweaters laid on the surface of the conveyor belt, effectively improving the ironing effect of the wool sweaters.

[0023] This semi-automatic neat ironing machine for wool sweaters is further equipped with an industrial camera to capture the flattening effect of the wool sweaters before ironing. The sweaters are then sent to the ironing station after image comparison. This effectively avoids the problem of product quality deterioration caused by direct ironing of a few wool sweaters with poor flattening effects, and effectively ensures the ironing effect of all wool sweaters.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Figures 1 to 9 , and describes the application in detail with reference to embodiments. Example 1

[0028] Example 1 discloses a semi-automatic neat ironing machine for sweaters. Figures 1-3 The main body of the ironing machine includes a base 1, an ironing box 2, a conveyor belt assembly 3, and a flattening and loading mechanism 4. The ironing box 2 is located at one end of the upper surface of the base 1, the conveyor belt assembly 3 is located inside the ironing box 2, and the flattening and loading mechanism 4 is located on the upper surface of the base 1 on the opposite side of the ironing box 2. This allows a straightened and flattened wool sweater to be placed on the conveyor belt assembly 3, which then transports the sweater to the ironing box 2 for ironing.

[0029] The ironing box 2 is tilted and open at the side facing the flattening and feeding mechanism 4. An ironing mechanism 5 is located at the upper end of the ironing box 2, away from the flattening and feeding mechanism 4. The conveyor belt assembly 3 comprises multiple belt rollers 301 rotatably mounted within the ironing box 2. One of the belt rollers 301 is connected to a drive motor (not shown). A roughened conveyor belt 302 is positioned between the multiple belt rollers 301. The end of the conveyor belt 302, located near the flattening and feeding mechanism 4, is also tilted upward at an angle of approximately 15 to 30 degrees. The upper end of the conveyor belt 302 below the ironing mechanism 5 is horizontally positioned. A support plate 6 is positioned below this section of the conveyor belt 302 to prevent the conveyor belt 302 from bending downward due to excessive pressure from the ironing mechanism 5 when performing the ironing operation. In addition, a discharge port is provided on the end face of the ironing box 2 away from the flat loading mechanism 4, and a downwardly inclined discharge plate 201 is provided in the discharge port. The upper end of the discharge plate 201 extends to the interior of the ironing box 2 and fits with the upper end of the conveyor belt 302, so that the wool sweater after ironing can be sent out of the ironing box 2 along the discharge plate 201.

[0030] Reference Attachment Figures 4-7 The flattening feeding mechanism 4 includes a strip box 401 positioned above the base 1, with its length perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 302. A rotating rod 402 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the strip box 401, and a rotating base 101 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 402 on the upper surface of the base 1. A disc 403 is connected to the end of the rotating rod 402 extending from the strip box 401, and a protruding shaft 404 is disposed at a non-center portion of the disc 403. A telescopic drive rod 405 is rotatably connected to the side of the base 1 or ironing box 2, and its telescopic end is connected to the protruding shaft 404. The telescopic drive rod 405 can be a hydraulic or electric telescopic rod; the strip box 401 can be rotated about the rotating rod 402 by controlling the telescopic action of the telescopic drive rod 405.

[0031] Inside the bar box 401, a bidirectional lead screw 406 and a guide slide 407 are arranged parallel to each other. One end of the bidirectional lead screw 406 is connected to a lead screw motor 408. Bar openings 4011 are provided at both ends of the top surface of the bar box 401. Two movable blocks 409 are located inside the bar box 401 at positions corresponding to the two bar openings 4011. The ends of the movable blocks 409 are connected to a screw hole block 410 and a slide hole block 411, respectively, which interact with the bidirectional lead screw 406 and guide slide 407. Driven by the lead screw motor 408, the two movable blocks 409 can be moved toward or away from each other.

[0032] The upper end of each moving block 409 is connected to a vertical support bar 412 extending from the corresponding strip-shaped opening 4011, and the upper end of each vertical support bar 412 is provided with a receiving slot 4121. The top of the receiving slot 4121 is rotatably connected to a shoulder cuff support bar 413 through a pin shaft 414 and a torsion spring 415, so that the shoulder cuff support bar 413 is in an expanded state under the action of the torsion spring 415, which can stretch the shoulders and long sleeves of the sweater and avoid wrinkles at the armpit position of the sweater.

[0033] Finally, a first guide wheel 416 is provided on the opposite sides of the two vertical struts 412, and a second guide wheel 417 is provided at the lower end of the two moving blocks 409. Then a pull rope 418 is provided between the same group of first guide wheels 416 and second guide wheels 417. The upper end of the pull rope 418 is connected to the rotator cuff strut 413, and the lower end is connected to the end wall of the corresponding side of the bar box 401.

[0034] During use of the semi-automatic neatening and ironing machine for sweaters disclosed in the first embodiment, the telescopic driving rod 405 is in its longest state, and the vertical stays 412 on the box 401 are in a vertical state. At the same time, the two vertical stays 412 are also at the minimum distance from each other, and the two shoulder cuff stays 413 are also stored in the storage slots 4121 due to the pulling action of the pull rope 418 (see the attached figure). Figure 1 ).

[0035] The operator then places the sweater between the two vertical stays 412 and presses the control button 102 on the base 1. After the control button 102 is activated, the screw motor 408 first operates to rotate the bidirectional screw 406, thereby causing the two vertical stays 412 to move away from each other, and the chest and the lower part of the sweater are stretched and flattened by the two vertical stays 412. At the same time, as the moving block 409 gradually approaches the end wall of the bar box 401, the distance between the lower end of the pull rope 418 and the end wall of the bar box 401 gradually decreases, so that the length of the pull rope 418 is released. At this time, the shoulder cuff stay 413 begins to rotate outward under the action of the torsion spring 415, thereby stretching the shoulders and long sleeves of the sweater (see attached). Figure 5 ) until the entire sweater is neatly unfolded.

[0036] Next, the telescopic drive rod 405 begins to shorten. Driven by the disc 403 and the rotating rod 402, the sweaters unfolded above the crate 401 begin to rotate toward the inclined surface of the conveyor belt 302, until the unfolded sweaters are flat on the inclined surface of the conveyor belt 302. At this point, the vertical stays 412 are parallel to the conveyor belt 302 and maintain a certain distance to prevent pressure on the sweaters. The screw motor 408 is then controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the two vertical stays 412 to move closer together. Simultaneously, the two rotator cuff stays 413, driven by the pull cord 418, begin to retract into the storage slots 4121.

[0037] Finally, the drive motor is started to make the conveyor belt 302 start to move upward. Under the action of the friction force of the conveyor belt 302, the neatly unfolded wool sweater is transported upward and separated from the flattening feeding mechanism 4, and is transported to the bottom of the ironing mechanism 5 in the unfolded state. The ironing mechanism 5 then irons it. At the same time, during the ironing process, the telescopic drive rod 405 begins to extend to rotate and reset the flattening feeding mechanism 4. Example 2

[0038] Example 2 discloses a semi-automatic neat ironing machine for wool sweaters that is optimized and improved based on the technical solution in Example 1, and is mainly designed for the ironing mechanism 5.

[0039] Reference Attachment Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 3 , Attachment Figure 8 and attached Figure 9 The ironing mechanism 5 in this embodiment 2 includes a lifting device 501 arranged on the top of the ironing box 2, and an ironing board assembly is connected to the lower end of the lifting device 501. The specific selection of the lifting device 501 can be a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0040] The ironing board assembly includes a rectangular box 502 with an open bottom. A large number of vertically downward-pointing blocking posts 503 are located on the top wall of the box 502. A pressure plate 504 is positioned within the box 502, conforming to the surrounding inner walls. The pressure plate 504 is provided with a steam hole 5041 corresponding to each blocking post 503. A through hole is formed in the top surface of the box 502, through which the lower end of the piston rod of the lifting device 501 is connected to the pressure plate 504. A spring 505 is connected between the pressure plate 504 and the top wall of the box 502. The force of the spring 505 maintains the pressure plate 504 at a certain height within the box 502, forcing the blocking posts 503 through the steam holes 5041 to seal the box and prevent steam leakage.

[0041] In addition, it also includes a steam generator 506, to which a steam delivery pipe 507 is connected. Then, the steam delivery pipe 507 is connected to a telescopic pipe 508 that extends into the interior of the rectangular box 502 and communicates with the upper end of the inner cavity of the rectangular box 502.

[0042] During operation of the ironing mechanism 5 disclosed in this embodiment 2, when a neatly unfolded wool sweater is conveyed directly below it, the elongated action of the lifting device 501 pushes the rectangular box 502 and the pressing plate 504 downward, and the sides of the rectangular box 502 are then pressed against the surface of the conveyor belt 302. As the pressure continues downward, the pressing plate 504 overcomes the action of the spring 505 and continues to move downward, pulling the steam hole 5041 away from the blocking column 503, allowing the steam hole 5041 to open, allowing the internal steam to pass through the steam hole 5041 and act downward on the wool sweater. Finally, the action of the pressing plate 504 presses the wool sweater neatly against the surface of the conveyor belt 302, achieving steam ironing and ensuring an ironing effect. Example 3

[0043] Example 3 discloses a semi-automatic neat ironing machine for wool sweaters that is optimized and improved based on the technical solution in Example 1. The similarities between it and Example 1 will not be described again.

[0044] Reference Attachment Figures 1-3 In this embodiment 2, a strip board 202 extending toward the flattening feeding mechanism 4 is provided at the upper end of the ironing box 2. An industrial camera 7 is mounted on the strip board 202 and arranged on an inclined surface facing the conveyor belt 302. The industrial camera 7 is electrically connected to a control box 8 installed at a side end of the ironing box 2. The control box 8 integrates an image processing module and a control module. The sweater status photo captured by the industrial camera 7 can be compared with the internally set status photo. When the difference between the two is large, the control module actively controls the buzzer or alarm light on the control box 8 to issue a warning, reminding the operator to adjust the sweater status in time.

[0045] Finally, a sweater flattening line 303 is provided on the outer surface of conveyor belt 302. This line is slightly larger than the actual size of the sweater and shaped similarly to the sweater after it has been neatly flattened. When the flattening feeding mechanism 4 places the sweater on the inclined surface of conveyor belt 302, 90% of the sweater's area lies within the flattening line 303. If this exceeds the flattening line, the industrial camera 7 captures the area, and the control box 8 processes the area to provide timely feedback, effectively ensuring the sweater is neatly flattened before ironing.

[0046] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
