Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fabric finishing equipment, and in particular to a ball-washing physical softening machine. Background Art

[0002] The softening process of fabrics has chemical methods and physical methods. Among them, the chemical method reduces the friction coefficient between fibers through the action of softeners to obtain a softening effect; the softening process of the chemical method has a good effect, but the processing requires long-term soaking of the stacked fabrics, which is not only inefficient, but also a large amount of wastewater will cause environmental pollution, not meeting the concept of environmental protection. The physical method makes the fabric structure fatigue under the action of external forces, relaxes the internal stress, reduces the rigidity of the fabric, and increases the softness of the fabric through means such as friction, rolling, blowing, and kneading; the softening process of the physical method can be completed in a short time, with high processing efficiency and more environmentally friendly.

[0003] The existing softening processing means of the physical method are various, and the obtained effects are also distinctive. Commonly, like air-patting non-tension fabrics, the fabrics are impacted on the fences and the gaps between the fences under the action of wind force, presenting a loose and folded state. Under this air-patting method, the fabrics actively impact the fences. The fabrics with active impact have a small density and a light weight, and the impact force formed with the fences is small. Moreover, when the fabrics impact the fences, the fabrics impact as a whole in a large area. The pressure received by each local tissue of the fabrics impacting as a whole in a large area is small, and it is difficult to relieve the force inside each local tissue of the fabrics, resulting in poor softening effect and low processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a ball-washing physical softening machine.

[0005] The technical solution for achieving the object of the present invention is: a ball-washing physical softening machine, including a rotating drum, a fabric conveying roller, an arc plate, and a ball throwing device. The fabric conveying roller, the arc plate, and the ball throwing device are all located inside the rotating drum. The rotating drum is horizontally rotatably arranged and is in transmission connection with a driving mechanism and is driven to rotate by the driving mechanism. A ball scraping plate is installed on the rotating drum, and the ball scraping plate extends inwards into the rotating drum. The fabric conveying roller is rotatably arranged, and the arc plate is fixedly arranged. The arc plate is located at the vertical bottom of the rotating drum and is coaxially sleeved with the rotating drum. There is a gap between the arc plate and the rotating drum, and this gap forms a small ball conveying channel. The arc plate includes a spliced mesh plate section and a blind plate section. A plurality of through holes are provided on the mesh plate section. The conveying direction of the small balls in the small ball conveying channel is the same as the rotating direction of the rotating drum. The mesh plate section and the blind plate section are sequentially distributed along the conveying direction of the small ball conveying channel. The blind plate section is located on the side of the rotating drum. A plurality of small balls are provided inside the rotating drum, and the diameter of the small balls is smaller than the diameter of the through holes. The ball throwing device is located at the output end of the small ball conveying channel, and the falling surface of the fabric conveyed on the fabric conveying roller is located on the falling path of the small balls thrown by the ball throwing device.

[0006] Further, it further includes a cylinder housing. The rotating drum is rotatably coaxially installed on the inner wall of the cylinder housing. The rotating drum can be rotatably installed through its end, or can be sleeved inside the cylinder housing for rotatable installation. Compared with the former, when the latter is installed inside the cylinder housing, not only the installation structure is more stable, but also there is more space at both ends, which is convenient for the installation of other structures such as the fabric conveying roller, the arc plate, and the ball throwing device.

[0007] Further, there is a gap between the cylinder housing and the rotating drum, and this gap forms a ball installation space. A plurality of balls are installed in the ball installation space. The rotating drum is rollingly installed on the inner wall of the cylinder housing through the balls. The cylinder housing can be rotatably installed on the inner wall of the cylinder housing through a bearing, or can be rollingly installed on the inner wall of the cylinder housing through the balls. The diameter of the cylinder housing is usually larger, and the cost of installing a bearing is higher. In contrast, the cost of installing the balls is lower.

[0008] Further, the ball scraping plate extends outwards into the ball installation space. During operation, the rotating drum and the ball scraping plate thereon drive the balls to rotate together. The rotating drum extending outwards into the ball installation space can partition the ball installation space, and the partitioned setting of the ball installation space is conducive to the more uniform distribution of the balls.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the cylindrical shell is closed, and the other end is provided with a movable door. With this setting, the closed end of the cylindrical shell can be conveniently used as a support for installing structures such as the spreading roller, the arc plate, and the ball thrower. After the movable door is provided at the other end of the cylindrical shell, it is convenient for operations such as feeding and taking materials.

[0010] Furthermore, an internal gear is provided on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder, and a transmission gear is in transmission connection with the driving mechanism. The transmission gear is located inside the rotating cylinder and meshes with the internal gear. During operation, driven by the driving mechanism, the transmission gear, the internal gear, and the rotating cylinder are driven to rotate in sequence. The space inside the rotating cylinder is relatively large, which can facilitate the transmission setting between the driving mechanism and the rotating cylinder more conveniently.

[0011] Furthermore, the ball thrower includes a rotating shaft and a plurality of ball throwing blades, and the plurality of ball throwing blades are scattered along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft. The ball thrower can be a pneumatic hitting device or a rotating body structure with ball throwing blades. Compared with the pneumatic hitting device, the ball thrower including the rotating shaft and the plurality of ball throwing blades not only has a large one-time ball throwing amount and high hitting efficiency on the fabric, but also the open structure can effectively avoid problems such as blockage and ball jamming on the ball thrower, and the ball throwing action is more smooth.

[0012] Furthermore, the ball throwing blades are arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped ball throwing blades at the high position of rotation bend towards one side of the fabric conveyed on the spreading roller. When throwing the ball, the arc-shaped ball throwing blades can help hold the small balls and prevent the small balls from scattering out from the radial outer side of the ball throwing blades, so that the small balls can be more smoothly thrown towards the fabric.

[0013] Furthermore, a rectifying plate is provided on the side of the throwing path of the small balls thrown by the ball thrower. The setting of the rectifying plate can guide the throwing of the small balls, avoid the small balls from scattering everywhere, and make more small balls fall on the fabric to impact the fabric, increasing the processing efficiency of the fabric.

[0014] Furthermore, the rectifying plate includes an upper rectifying plate, and the upper rectifying plate is an arc plate. The upper rectifying plate is located above the throwing path of the small balls thrown by the ball thrower and bends towards the throwing path of the small balls thrown by the ball thrower. The setting of the upper rectifying plate can limit the upward scattering of the small balls and deviate from the set throwing path of the small balls, ensure that the small balls do not escape, and make the small balls fall towards the fabric more and more smoothly to impact the fabric.

[0015] Furthermore, the rectifying plate includes a lower rectifying plate which is an arc-shaped plate. The upper rectifying plate is located below the falling path of the small ball thrown by the ball thrower and bends towards the falling path of the small ball thrown by the ball thrower. The setting of the lower rectifying plate can limit the downward scattering of the small ball and prevent it from deviating from the set falling path of the small ball, ensuring that the small ball does not escape, enabling the small ball to fall onto the fabric more and more smoothly, and impacting the fabric.

[0016] Furthermore, an impact pad is also provided inside the rotating cylinder. The impact pad is fixedly arranged and is located on the back of the fabric and on the falling path of the small ball thrown by the ball thrower. During operation, the small ball thrown by the ball thrower is dropped from the front of the fabric. When it hits the fabric, the impact pad on the back of the fabric can strongly support the impact of the small ball, so that the fabric will not be displaced due to the strong impact force of the small ball, and the relatively gentle impact force of the small ball can effectively act on the fabric, thereby increasing the rubbing and softening effect of the fabric.

[0017] Furthermore, the impact pad is an elastic impact pad. The elastic impact pad can be a rubber pad or a sponge pad. The elastic impact pad has good softness and strong suction capacity. When the small ball hits the fabric and the impact pad on the back of the fabric, the soft impact pad deforms under force. On the one hand, this deformation provides space for the fabric to deform under force, enabling the fabric to have a better rubbing effect; on the other hand, the impact pad after being deformed under force absorbs part of the impact force of the small ball, thus greatly reducing the reaction force of the impact pad, so that the small ball will not rebound instantaneously and leave the fabric, so that the small ball can hit the fabric firmly and act on the fabric, greatly increasing the softening efficiency and effect of the fabric.

[0018] Furthermore, the fabric spreading roller is parallel to the rotating cylinder.

[0019] Furthermore, the fabric spreading roller is a centering roller. The fabric spreading roller as a centering roller can not only provide power for conveying the fabric and actively drive the fabric so that the fabric can be conveyed and run, but also center the conveyed fabric to avoid the fabric running off to one side, ensuring that the fabric always runs in the correct position.

[0020] Furthermore, an opening roller is also provided inside the rotating cylinder. The opening roller is located on the fabric conveying path. The opening roller is parallel to the fabric spreading roller, and the fabric passes through the opening roller. The opening roller is used to open the wrinkles of the fabric during operation, so that the fabric can be evenly softened. Preferably, the opening roller is located on the fabric conveying path between the impact pad and the fabric spreading roller.

[0021] The ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention uses the ball thrower to throw the small balls, which impact and rub the fabric conveyed on the spreading roller. Under the impact of the small balls, the fabric structure becomes fatigued and relaxed, and the internal stress of the fabric is relieved, thereby making the fabric soft and realizing the softening process of the fabric. In terms of this softening process, locally, when the ball thrower throws the small balls to impact the fabric for softening, the small balls are the active impact bodies and the fabric is the passive impact body. Although the small balls are small in size and have a small impact surface and force-bearing surface with the fabric, their density is relatively large. When the small balls with a large density are thrown, a large impact force is formed between them and the fabric. For the fabric with a large impact force and a small force-bearing surface, the local pressure on its structure is large, the deformation effect of the fabric structure is more obvious, the fabric structure becomes fatigued and relaxed quickly, and the softening efficiency is high. Moreover, the surface of the small balls is usually a curved surface or a spherical surface. During the process of the curved surface or spherical surface small balls impacting, rubbing, and kneading the fabric, they will not scratch or damage the surface structure of the fabric, and the surface of the fabric will not become furry, ensuring better fabric quality. Overall, the number of the small balls is several. The several small balls are thrown continuously at the same time to impact each local position of the fabric, so that each local position of the fabric can be stressed, and the softening effect on each local position of the fabric is balanced. At the same time, under the continuous action of the several small balls, in addition to the impact and friction effects between the small balls and the fabric, the different impacts at different positions of the fabric and the different impacts at the same position before and after also cause various deformations of the fabric, forming a pounding effect and having a kneading effect. That is to say, the ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention not only has high processing efficiency, the surface of the fabric will not become furry, but also has a good softening effect integrating impacts, friction, kneading, etc., the softening effect on each local position of the fabric is more balanced, and the overall quality of the fabric after softening is higher.

[0022] In addition, for the ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention, with the rotating cylinder as the housing, providing a processing space for softening processing, a scraping ball plate is also installed on the rotating cylinder and is rotatably arranged. At the same time, in combination with the arc-shaped plate sleeved at its bottom, including a mesh plate section and a blind plate section, a small ball conveying channel is formed with the arc-shaped plate. The arc-shaped plate can not only carry the fabric, isolate the fabric from the rotating cylinder, prevent the rotating cylinder from driving the fabric to be stuck in the small ball conveying channel, ensure the operation reliability, but also the setting of the mesh plate section allows the small balls in the rotating cylinder to automatically enter the small ball conveying channel. The small balls entering the small ball conveying channel are driven by the scraping ball plate of the rotating cylinder and are conveyed upward to achieve lifting. The lifted small balls are output from the output end of the small ball conveying channel and fall onto the ball throwing device, and are thrown by the ball throwing device to act on the fabric conveyed on the cloth spreading roller. During the whole process, not only can the automatic feeding of the small balls be realized, and the feeding process of the small balls does not get stuck with the cloth, is cyclic and continuous, and completely does not require manual operation, its automation degree and processing efficiency are high, and the cyclic and continuous feeding of the small balls also greatly improves the utilization rate of the small balls and reduces the use cost of the small balls.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] The following will make a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings: As Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, a ball-washing physical softening machine includes a rotating drum 1, a fabric conveying roller 2, an arc plate 3 and a ball throwing device 4. The fabric conveying roller 2, the arc plate 3 and the ball throwing device 4 are all located inside the rotating drum 1. The rotating drum 1 is horizontally rotatably arranged and is in transmission connection with a driving mechanism 10 and is driven to rotate by the driving mechanism 10. A ball scraping plate 11 is installed on the rotating drum 1, and the ball scraping plate 11 extends inward into the rotating drum 1. The fabric conveying roller 2 is rotatably arranged, and the arc plate 3 is fixedly arranged. The arc plate 3 is located at the vertical bottom of the rotating drum 1 and is coaxially sleeved with the rotating drum 1. There is a gap between the arc plate 3 and the rotating drum 1, and this gap forms a small ball conveying channel 30. The arc plate 3 includes a meshed plate section 31 and a blind plate section 32 that are spliced. A number of through holes 310 are opened on the meshed plate section 31. The conveying direction of the small balls in the small ball conveying channel 30 is the same as the rotating direction of the rotating drum 1. The meshed plate section 31 and the blind plate section 32 are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the small ball conveying channel 30. The blind plate section 32 is located on the side of the rotating drum 1. A number of small balls 5 are arranged inside the rotating drum 1. The diameter D1 of the small balls 5 is smaller than the diameter D2 of the through holes 310. The ball throwing device 4 is located at the output end of the small ball conveying channel 30. The falling surface of the fabric 100 conveyed on the fabric conveying roller 2 is located on the throwing path of the small balls 5 thrown by the ball throwing device 4.

[0025] In the ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention, the fabric conveying roller 2 is used to convey the fabric. The arc plate 3 is located at the bottom of the rotating drum 1 and is used to carry the fabric, isolate the fabric from the rotating drum 1, and at the same time is used to form the small ball conveying channel 30 with the rotating drum 1. The radial width of the small ball conveying channel 30 is larger than the diameter of the small balls 5, and the small balls 5 can enter the small ball conveying channel 30 and be conveyed along the small ball conveying channel 30. In the arc plate 3, the through holes 310 opened on the meshed plate section 31 are used to filter the small balls 5 so that the small balls 5 can enter the small ball conveying channel 30; there are no holes on the blind plate section 32, which is used to laterally limit the small balls 5 lifted in the small ball conveying channel 30, so that the small balls 5 conveyed and lifted along the small ball conveying channel 30 will not fall out of the small ball conveying channel 30 laterally, and the upward conveying and lifting are successfully completed. Driven by the driving mechanism 10, the rotating drum 1 and the ball scraping plate 11 thereon are used to drive the small balls 5 in the small ball conveying channel 30 to be conveyed upward. The small balls 5 in the small ball conveying channel 30 are conveyed to the ball throwing device 4, and the ball throwing device 4 is used to throw the small balls 5 to impact and rub the fabric. The diameter D1 of the small balls 5 is smaller than the diameter D2 of the through holes 310, and the small balls 5 can fall into the small ball conveying channel 30 through the through holes 310. The small balls 5 are used to impact and rub the fabric.

[0026] The ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention, during operation, the head and tail of the fabric 100 are connected and sleeved on the fabric conveying roller 2, and are driven by the fabric conveying roller 2 for circular conveying. During the conveying process of the fabric 100, it is driven by the driving mechanism 10 to drive the rotating cylinder 1 to rotate. The scraping ball plate 11 on the rotating rotating cylinder 1 stirs to drive the small balls 5 in the small ball conveying channel 30 to be conveyed and lifted upward along the small ball conveying channel 30, and then are output from the output end of the small ball conveying channel 30 and fall onto the ball throwing device 4, and are thrown by the ball throwing device 4 to impact and rub the fabric conveyed on the fabric conveying roller 2, so that the internal stress of the fabric is relaxed, and the softening process of the fabric is realized. The small balls 5 after impact fall onto the arc plate 3 and enter the small ball conveying channel 30 through the through holes 310 for circular conveying.

[0027] The ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention uses the ball throwing device 4 to throw the small balls 5 to impact and rub the fabric 100 conveyed on the fabric conveying roller 2, so that under the impact of the small balls 5, the fabric structure is fatigued and relaxed, the internal stress of the fabric is relieved, and thus the fabric becomes soft, realizing the softening process of the fabric. In terms of local perspective, when the ball throwing device 4 throws the small balls 5 to impact the fabric for softening the fabric, the small balls 5 are the active impact bodies and the fabric 100 is the passive impact body. Although the small balls 5 are small in size and have a small impact surface and stress-bearing surface with the fabric 100, their density is relatively large. When the small balls 5 with a large density are thrown, a large impact force is formed between them and the fabric 100. For the fabric 100 with a large impact force and a small stress-bearing surface, the local structure is under a large pressure, the deformation effect of the fabric structure is more obvious, the fabric structure fatigues and relaxes quickly, and the softening efficiency is high; and the surface of the small balls 5 is usually a curved surface or a spherical surface. During the process of the curved surface or spherical surface small balls 5 impacting, rubbing and kneading the fabric, the surface structure of the fabric will not be scratched or damaged, and the surface of the fabric will not become furry, and the fabric quality is more guaranteed. From an overall perspective, the number of the small balls 5 is several. Several small balls 5 are continuously thrown at the same time to impact each local position of the fabric 100, and each local position of the fabric 100 can be stressed. The softening effect on each local position of the fabric is balanced. At the same time, under the continuous action of several small balls 5 at the same time, in addition to the impact and friction effects between the small balls 5 and the fabric 100, the different impacts on different positions of the fabric 100 and the different impacts at the same position before and after also cause various deformations of the fabric, forming a beating effect and having a kneading effect. That is to say, the ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention not only has high processing efficiency, the surface of the fabric will not become furry, but also has a good softening effect integrating impacts, friction, kneading, etc., the softening effect on each local position of the fabric is more balanced, and the overall quality of the fabric after softening is higher.

[0028] In addition, for the ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention, with the rotating cylinder 1 serving as the housing to provide a processing space for softening processing, a scraping ball plate 11 is further installed on the rotating cylinder 1 and is rotatably arranged. At the same time, in combination with the arc plate 3 sleeved at its bottom and including a mesh plate section 31 and a blind plate section 32, a small ball conveying channel 30 is formed with the arc plate 3. The arc plate 3 can not only carry the fabric, isolate the fabric from the rotating cylinder 1, and prevent the rotating cylinder 1 from driving the fabric to get stuck in the small ball conveying channel 30, ensuring the operation reliability. At the same time, the setting of the mesh plate section 31 allows the small balls 5 in the rotating cylinder 1 to automatically enter the small ball conveying channel 30. The small balls 5 entering the small ball conveying channel 30 are driven by the scraping ball plate 11 of the rotating cylinder 1 to be conveyed upward to achieve lifting. The lifted small balls 5 are output from the output end of the small ball conveying channel 30 and fall onto the ball throwing device 4, and are thrown by the ball throwing device 4 to act on the fabric conveyed on the fabric conveying roller 2. During the whole process, not only can the automatic feeding of the small balls 5 be realized, but also the feeding process of the small balls 5 does not get stuck with the fabric, is cyclic and continuous, and completely does not require manual operation. Its automation degree and processing efficiency are high, and the cyclic and continuous feeding of the small balls 5 also greatly improves the utilization rate of the small balls 5 and reduces the use cost of the small balls 5.

[0029] The ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention, preferably, as Figure 6 shown, further includes a cylinder housing 6, and the rotating cylinder 1 is rotatably and coaxially installed on the inner wall of the cylinder housing 6. The rotating cylinder 1 can be rotatably installed through its end, or can be sleeved in the cylinder housing 6 for rotatable installation. Compared with the former, when the latter is installed in the cylinder housing 6, not only the installation structure is more stable, but also there is more space at both ends, which is convenient for the installation of other structures such as the fabric conveying roller 2, the arc plate 3, and the ball throwing device 4.

[0030] The ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention, preferably, there is a gap between the cylinder housing 6 and the rotating cylinder 1 and this gap forms a ball installation space 60, and a number of balls 61 are installed in the ball installation space 60.

The cylinder housing 6 can be rotatably installed on the inner wall of the cylinder housing 6 through a bearing, or can be rotatably installed on the inner wall of the cylinder housing 6 through the balls 61. The diameter of the cylinder housing 6 is usually large, and the cost of installing a bearing is high. In contrast, the cost of installing the balls 61 is lower.

[0031] In the ball washing and physical softening machine of the present invention, preferably, the ball scraper 11 extends outward into the ball installation space 60. During operation, the rotating drum 1 and the ball scraper 11 thereon drive the balls 61 to rotate together. The rotating drum 1 extending outward into the ball installation space 60 can divide the ball installation space 60 into partitions, and the partition setting of the ball installation space 60 is conducive to a more uniform distribution of the balls 61.

[0032] In the ball washing and softening machine of the present invention, preferably, one end of the cylinder shell 6 is closed and the other end is provided with a movable door 62. With this arrangement, the sealed end of the cylinder shell 6 can be conveniently used as a bracket to install the structures such as the spreading roller 2, the arc plate 3 and the ball throwing device 4; after the other end of the cylinder shell 6 is provided with the movable door 62, it is convenient to enter and exit the loading and unloading operations.

During operation, the driving mechanism 10 drives and sequentially drives the transmission gear 101, the inner gear 12 and the rotating drum 1 to rotate. The rotating drum 1 has a large space, which can make the transmission arrangement between the driving mechanism 10 and the rotating drum 1 more convenient.

[0034] In the ball washing physical softening machine of the present invention, the height of the two ends of the arc plate 3 is limited to be able to isolate the fabric 100 from the drum 1. Preferably. At the two ends of the arc plate 3, the end height of the mesh plate section 31 is close to the axial height of the drum 1, and the end height of the blind plate section 32 is higher than the axial height of the drum 1. This arrangement can completely isolate the fabric 100 and prevent the fabric 100 from being drawn into the ball conveying channel 30 by the drum 1. At the same time, the output end of the ball conveying channel 30 is higher, and the ball 5 thrown by the ball thrower 4 has a higher throwing height, and the structures such as the ball thrower 4 and the spreading roller 2 are more convenient to install.

[0035] In the ball washing physical softening machine of the present invention, preferably, the ball throwing device 4 comprises a rotating shaft 41 and a plurality of ball throwing blades 42, and the plurality of ball throwing blades 42 are scattered and distributed along the circumference of the rotating shaft 41. The ball throwing device 4 can be a pneumatic ball hitting device, or a rotating structure with ball throwing blades 42. Compared with the pneumatic ball hitting device, the ball throwing device 4 comprising the rotating shaft 41 and the plurality of ball throwing blades 42 not only has a large one-time ball throwing amount and high efficiency in hitting fabrics, but also has an open structure that can effectively avoid problems such as blockage and ball jamming on the ball throwing device 4, and the ball throwing action is smoother.

[0036] For the ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention, preferably, the ball-throwing blade 42 is arc-shaped, and when rotated to the high position, the arc-shaped ball-throwing blade 42 bends towards one side of the fabric 100 conveyed on the spreading roller 2. When throwing the ball, the arc-shaped ball-throwing blade 42 can facilitate holding the small ball 5 and prevent the small ball 5 from scattering out from the radial outer side of the ball-throwing blade 42, so that the small ball 5 can be more smoothly thrown towards the fabric.

[0037] For the ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention, preferably, a flow rectifying plate 7 is provided on the side of the throwing path of the small ball 5 thrown by the ball-throwing device 4. The setting of the flow rectifying plate 7 can guide the throwing of the small ball 5, avoid the small ball 5 from scattering everywhere, and make it fall more on the fabric, impact the fabric, and increase the processing efficiency of the fabric.

[0038] For the ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention, preferably, the flow rectifying plate 7 includes an upper flow rectifying plate 71, and the upper flow rectifying plate 71 is an arc-shaped plate. The upper flow rectifying plate 71 is located above the throwing path of the small ball 5 thrown by the ball-throwing device 4 and bends towards the throwing path of the small ball 5 thrown by the ball-throwing device 4. The setting of the upper flow rectifying plate 71 can limit the upward scattering of the small ball 5 and prevent it from deviating from the set throwing path of the small ball 5, ensure that the small ball 5 does not escape, and make the small ball 5 fall more smoothly and in greater quantity onto the fabric 100 to impact the fabric 100.

[0039] For the ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention, preferably, the flow rectifying plate 7 includes a lower flow rectifying plate 72, and the lower flow rectifying plate 72 is an arc-shaped plate. The upper flow rectifying plate 71 is located below the throwing path of the small ball 5 thrown by the ball-throwing device 4 and bends towards the throwing path of the small ball 5 thrown by the ball-throwing device 4. The setting of the lower flow rectifying plate 72 can limit the downward scattering of the small ball 5 and prevent it from deviating from the set throwing path of the small ball 5, ensure that the small ball 5 does not escape, and make the small ball 5 fall more smoothly and in greater quantity onto the fabric 100 to impact the fabric 100.

[0040] For the ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention, preferably, an impact pad 8 is further provided in the rotating cylinder 1. The impact pad 8 is fixedly arranged and is located on the back of the fabric and on the throwing path of the small ball 5 thrown by the ball-throwing device 4. The impact pad 8 is located on the back of the fabric. During operation, when the small ball 5 thrown by the ball-throwing device 4 is thrown from the front of the fabric and hits the fabric 100, the impact pad 8 on the back of the fabric can strongly support the impact of the small ball 5, so that the fabric 100 will not be displaced due to the strong impact force of the small ball 5, and the relatively gentle impact force of the small ball 5 can effectively act on the fabric 100, thereby increasing the rubbing and softening effect of the fabric.

[0041] The ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention. Preferably, the impact pad 8 is an elastic impact pad. The elastic impact pad can be a rubber pad or a sponge pad. The elastic impact pad has good softness and strong suction ability. When the small ball 5 impacts on the fabric 100 and the impact pad 8 on the back of the fabric, the impact pad 8 with good softness deforms under force. On the one hand, this deformation provides space for the fabric 100 to deform under force, enabling the fabric 100 to have a better kneading effect; on the other hand, the impact pad 8 after being deformed under force absorbs part of the impact force of the small ball 5, thereby greatly reducing the reaction force of the impact pad 8, so that the small ball 5 will not rebound instantaneously and leave the fabric 100, so that the small ball 5 can hit the fabric 100 firmly and act on the fabric 100, greatly increasing the softening efficiency and effect of the fabric 100.

[0042] The ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention. Preferably, the spreading roller 2 is parallel to the rotating cylinder 1.

[0043] The ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention. Preferably, the spreading roller 2 is a centering roller. The spreading roller 2 being a centering roller can not only serve as the power for conveying the fabric, actively driving the fabric to enable the fabric to be conveyed and run, but also center the conveyed fabric to avoid the fabric from running off to one side, so that the fabric always runs in the correct position.

[0044] The ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention. Preferably, an opening roller 9 is further provided in the rotating cylinder 1, and the opening roller 9 is located on the fabric conveying path. The fabric 100 passes through the opening roller 9, and the opening roller 9 is used to open the wrinkles of the fabric during operation, so that the fabric can obtain uniform softening. Preferably, the opening roller 9 is located on the fabric conveying path between the impact pad 8 and the spreading roller 2.

[0045] For the ball-washing physical softening machine of the present invention, both the centering roller and the opening roller 9 are of existing structures, and the present invention will not elaborate on them too much.

[0046] For those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention pertains, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several simple deductions or substitutions can still be made, which should all be regarded as belonging to the protection scope of the present invention.
