[0036] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] As Figure 1-7 shown, the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0038] A finished product winding device for textile fabric production and processing, including a base 1. On the upper left and right sides of the base 1, a first frame 2 and a second frame 3 are respectively movably installed. A translation mechanism is arranged between the base 1, the first frame 2 and the second frame 3. The translation mechanism includes a bidirectional lead screw 8. The bidirectional lead screw 8 is movably installed in the middle of the base 1. The bottom ends in the middle of the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 8. A motor one 9 is fixedly installed outside the left side of the base 1. The output shaft of the motor one 9 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 8. A bracket 4 is fixedly installed at the top end in the middle of the base 1. A lifting frame 5 is movably installed at the upper end of the bracket 4. A clamping mechanism is arranged between the first frame 2, the second frame 3 and the lifting frame 5. The clamping mechanism includes an electric push rod 10. The electric push rod 10 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bracket 4. The output shaft of the electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom end of the lifting frame 5. An upper clamping seat 11 is movably installed at the upper ends on the same side of the first frame 2 and the second frame 3. Semi-circular grooves are respectively opened at both sides of the top end of the lifting frame 5 and the bottom end of the upper clamping seat 11. Fixed seats 12 are fixedly installed on the wall surfaces at the top ends on the same side of the first frame 2 and the second frame 3. Guide rods 13 movably connected to the fixed seats 12 are fixedly installed at both ends of the back of the upper clamping seat 11. Springs 14 are movably installed outside the guide rods 13 between the fixed seats 12 and the upper clamping seat 11. A winding roller 6 is movably installed at the upper end of the lifting frame 5. A driving mechanism is arranged between the first frame 2, the second frame 3 and the winding roller 6. The driving mechanism includes meshing claws 15. The meshing claws 15 are movably installed inside the upper ends of the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 and near the lower part of the fixed seats 12. Meshing sleeves 16 are fixedly installed at both ends of the winding roller 6. A movable sleeve 17 is movably installed outside the meshing sleeve 16 through a bearing. A plug rod 18 is fixedly installed in the middle of the front of the meshing sleeve 16. A meshing groove 19 matching the meshing claws 15 is arranged between the meshing sleeve 16 and the plug rod 18. A motor two 30 is fixedly installed outside the upper right side of the second frame 3. The output shaft of the motor two 30 is fixedly connected to the right meshing claw 15. A first synchronous pulley 20 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the left meshing claw 15 through the first frame 2. A shaft bracket 21 is fixedly installed outside the side of the first frame 2 close to the cleaning mechanism. A sleeve 22 is movably installed inside the front end of the shaft bracket 21 through a bearing. A second synchronous pulley 23 is fixedly installed outside the left end of the sleeve 22. A synchronous belt body is meshed outside the second synchronous pulley 23 and the first synchronous pulley 20.

[0039] In this embodiment, by setting up the lifting frame 5, the clamping mechanism and the translation mechanism, the automatic clamping, fixing and driving docking of the winding roller 6 are realized. Specifically, after the winding roller 6 is placed on the lifting frame 5, the electric push rod 10 drives the lifting frame 5 to rise, so that both ends of the winding roller 6 are automatically abutted and clamped with the upper clamping seat 11. At the same time, the first motor 9 drives the bidirectional lead screw 8 to rotate, so that the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 move in the same direction until the meshing claw 15 and the meshing sleeve 16 are automatically meshed and connected. This avoids the cumbersome operation of traditional manual docking, significantly simplifies the disassembly and assembly process of the winding roller 6, reduces manual intervention, and reduces problems such as equipment damage or uneven cloth winding caused by operation errors, improving production efficiency and stability.

[0040] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the cleaning mechanism includes a roller 24. The rollers 24 are movably installed at the upper and lower ends on the right side of the transmission housing 7. A number of brush heads 25 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the roller 24. The transmission housing 7 is movably installed at the front ends of the first frame 2 and the second frame 3. The cleaning mechanism is arranged at the upper and lower ends on the right side of the transmission housing 7. The cleaning mechanism further includes a gear 26. Gears 26 are fixedly installed at one ends of the two rollers 24 located inside the transmission housing 7. The two gears 26 mesh with each other. A transmission shaft 27 is fixedly installed at one end of the upper gear 26 away from the roller 24. A guide bar 28 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the upper end of the transmission shaft 27. The sleeve 22 is matched and clamped with the transmission shaft 27 and the guide bar 28. A connecting piece 29 is fixedly installed between the transmission housing 7 and the upper clamping seat 11 on the left side. The cleaning mechanism is matched with the driving mechanism.

[0041] In this embodiment, by setting up the cleaning mechanism, including components such as the roller 24, the brush head 25 and the gear 26, the automatic cleaning of the cloth surface is realized. Specifically, when the driving mechanism drives the winding roller 6 to rotate, the synchronous pulley 1 and the synchronous pulley 23 drive the gear 26 to rotate through the transmission shaft 27, and then drive the roller 24 and the brush head 25 to clean the cloth surface, effectively removing the sundries and lint on the cloth surface, improving the cleanliness and quality of the finished cloth, reducing the cleaning cost in the subsequent processing process, and having significant practical value.

[0042] A method for using a finished product winding device for textile fabric production and processing includes the following steps:

[0043] Step 1, first, place the winding roller 6 on the lifting frame 5. At this time, the movable sleeve 17 is located on the semi-circular groove, and then start the electric push rod 10. The electric push rod 10 lifts the lifting frame 5 until both ends of the lifting frame 5 abut against the upper clamping seat 11 above and clamp and fix the movable sleeve 17.

[0044] Step 2: Then, start Motor 1 9. Motor 1 9 drives the bidirectional lead screw 8 to rotate. When the bidirectional lead screw 8 rotates, it drives the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 to move in the same direction until the engaging claw 15 is engaged with the engaging sleeve 16.

[0045] Step 3: Next, pass the end of the textile fabric through the two rollers 24 and fix it on the winding roller 6. Then, start Motor 2 30. Motor 2 30 drives the engaging claw 15 on the right side to rotate, thereby driving the engaging sleeve 16 to rotate. In this way, after the winding roller 6 is driven to rotate, the textile fabric is wound.

[0046] Step 4: When the engaging claw 15 on the left side is driven, it drives the first synchronous pulley 20 to rotate. The first synchronous pulley 20 drives the second synchronous pulley 23 to rotate through the synchronous belt body. When the second synchronous pulley 23 rotates, it drives the sleeve 22 to rotate, and then drives the gear 26 to rotate through the transmission shaft 27. In this way, the two gears 26 drive the rollers 24 to rotate, and the sundries on the upper end surface of the fabric are cleaned by the brush head 25.

[0047] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprises", "comprising" or any other variation thereof is intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0048] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
