Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fabric processing, and in particular to a bio-based fabric softening machine and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of bio-based fabric processing, fabric softening treatment is a key link. Traditional softening treatment methods have many shortcomings. During the immersion process, the softener does not come into sufficient contact with the fabric, resulting in poor softener penetration, making it difficult to relax the stress of the fabric fibers and eliminate wrinkles. During drying, conventional drying methods cannot effectively loosen the fabric fiber structure, making it difficult to achieve an ideal soft touch, and the fabric tends to gather on one side, affecting the uniformity of drying. The treated fabric fibers are arranged in an orderly manner, lacking in bulk and having greater stiffness. In addition, the insufficient utilization of heat energy during the drying process results in energy waste, and the drying efficiency needs to be improved. The overall treatment effect is difficult to meet the production requirements of high-quality bio-based fabrics. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below 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, rather than all the embodiments.

[0044] In one embodiment: refer to Figures 1-8 , a softening machine, relates to the field of fabric processing technology, the device mainly includes an immersion tank 1, a drying chamber 11, a spraying structure, a drying structure, a kneading structure, a vibration structure and auxiliary components.

[0045] The working process is as follows: the fabric first enters the immersion tank 1, and is immersed in the softener through the cooperation of the conveying roller, while the spray structure enhances the contact effect between the fabric and the softener; then the fabric is conveyed to the drying chamber 11, and is dried by the drying structure and vibrated by the vibration structure, and then rubbed and rubbed by the kneading structure, and finally the treated fabric is rolled up by the winding roller 25.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The immersion tank 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped made of stainless steel, with a hollow interior for containing softener. Conveying rollers Ⅰ2 are rotatably provided on both sides of the top of the immersion tank 1. Conveying roller Ⅰ2 is connected to the immersion tank 1 through bearings and can rotate freely. Two conveying rollers Ⅱ3 are rotatably connected in the immersion tank 1. Conveying roller Ⅱ3 is connected to the side wall of the immersion tank 1 through bearings, and the two conveying rollers Ⅱ3 are arranged on the left and right. Conveying roller Ⅲ4 is also rotatably provided in the immersion tank 1. Conveying roller Ⅲ4 is located between the two conveying rollers Ⅰ2 and Ⅱ3. The fabric passes around conveying roller Ⅰ2, conveying roller Ⅱ3 and conveying roller Ⅲ4 in turn, and is immersed in the softener in the immersion tank 1 during the conveying process, thereby achieving preliminary softening treatment of the fabric.

[0047] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 A hollow tube 5 is fixed within the immersion tank 1, below the conveyor roller III 4. The hollow tube 5 is cylindrical and made of plastic. Multiple circular drainage holes 6 are located on both sides of the hollow tube 5 and are evenly distributed. A water pump 7 is fixed to one side of the immersion tank 1. The inlet of the water pump 7 extends into the immersion tank 1 via a fixed pipe. The outlet of the water pump 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the hollow tube 5 via a hose. The length of the hose is determined by the actual installation location. When the water pump 7 is operating, it draws the softener from the immersion tank 1 and injects it into the hollow tube 5 through the hose. The softener is then sprayed upward at an angle through the drainage holes 6 on both sides of the hollow tube 5. The impact of the softener causes the fabric to float outward. Two rotating shafts 8 are rotatably connected within the immersion tank 1. The two rotating shafts 8 are located on either side of the hollow tube 5 and are connected to the side wall of the immersion tank 1 via bearings. Affixed to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 8 are multiple curved stainless steel striking rods 9. These rods rotate as the shaft 8 vibrates the fabric, enhancing softener penetration. Affixed to the outer wall of the curved striking rod 9 are multiple cylindrical striking rods 10, further enhancing the fabric's impact. A motor drives the rotating shaft 8 via a belt drive.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The drying chamber 11 is rectangular and made of stainless steel. An inverted U-shaped plate 14 is fixed to the bottom inner wall of the drying chamber 11. The inverted U-shaped plate 14 is also made of stainless steel and is fixed to the bottom of the drying chamber 11 by welding. A closed cover 12 is fixed to the top of the drying chamber 11 by bolts. The fabric passes through the closed cover 12. A cavity 18 is defined within the inverted U-shaped plate 14.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 Two baffles 19 are fixed on both sides of the inverted U-shaped plate 14 in the cavity 18, and the baffles 19 are fixedly connected to the inverted U-shaped plate 14 by welding. A plurality of inclined holes 20 are provided in each of the two baffles 19. The inclined holes 20 are arranged at an angle with an inclination angle of 30°-60°, and are used to spray hot air obliquely downward. An air injection pipe 22 is fixed on one side of the drying chamber 11. One end of the air injection pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the cavity 18, and the other end is connected to an external compressed hot air source for injecting compressed hot air into the cavity 18. Two limit frames 16 are fixed on both sides of the inverted U-shaped plate 14 in the drying chamber 11. The limit frame 16 consists of two cross bars, and a plurality of bending rods are fixed between the two cross bars. The bending rods are wavy and are used to limit the fabric when the hot air blows the fabric outward. Two guide rollers II 15 and a stopper assembly I 17 are rotatably connected within drying chamber 11, located on either side of an inverted U-shaped plate 14. A guide roller I 13 is fixed to the top of closure cover 12. These rollers I 13, inverted U-shaped plate 14, and stopper assembly I 17 cooperate to move the fabric along the outer surface of inverted U-shaped plate 14, facilitating hot air drying. Also fixed within drying chamber 11 is a guide roller III 23, which bends the fabric and moves it above horizontal plate 27.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The top inner wall of cavity 18 is equipped with multiple circular vents 21, which are used to dry fabric that moves above the inverted U-shaped plate 14. Compressed hot air is injected into cavity 18 via an air injection pipe 22. The hot air is then ejected diagonally downward through inclined holes 20, blowing the fabric on both sides of the inverted U-shaped plate 14 outward. The compressed air not only dries the fabric but also loosens its fiber structure, creating a softer feel. As the fabric vibrates and drifts outward under the action of the compressed air, the retaining frame 16 restrains it. The multiple bending rods within the retaining frame 16 not only restrain the fabric, preventing it from converging to one side, but also create a flapping effect on the vibrating fabric, further enhancing its softness. The air within cavity 18 is then ejected upward through the vents 21, further drying and blowing the fabric above the inverted U-shaped plate 14. This multiple air blowing and fabric vibration ensures the fabric's fluffiness and soft feel.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , two U-shaped rods 30 slide through the closing cover 12, and the two bottom ends of the two U-shaped rods 30 are fixed with lifting plates 28. The lifting plates 28 are rectangular and made of stainless steel. The four lifting plates 28 all slide through the horizontal plate 27, and the horizontal plate 27 is fixed in the drying chamber 11 above the inverted U-shaped plate 14. There are two limit rods II 29 rotating between the two lifting plates 28 on the same side. The limit rod II 29 consists of two round rods. The fabric passes through the two round rods. The two round rods are used to limit the fabric. The two limit rods II 29 are arranged up and down. The fabric below the horizontal plate 27 passes through the limit rod II 29 located below, and the fabric above the horizontal plate 27 passes through the limit rod II 29 located above. The two limit rods II 29 located below are respectively located on both sides of the exhaust hole 21, and are used to drive the fabric to vibrate below the horizontal plate 27 when the hot air ejected from the exhaust hole 21 pushes the fabric to float up.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 Two connecting plates 31 are provided at the tops of the two U-shaped rods 30. The two connecting plates 31 are fixed to the tops of the two U-shaped rods 30. Bases 33 are fixed to both sides of the top of the closure cover 12. The sides of the two bases 33 that are closer to each other are rotatably connected to rotating disks 34, which are connected to the bases 33 via bearings. Pins 35 are fixed to the sides of the two rotating disks 34 that are closer to each other, at a position offset from the center of the circle. Sliding slots 32 are provided on the sides of the two connecting plates 31 that are farther away from each other. The sliding slots 32 and the pins 35 slidably cooperate to drive the connecting plates 31 and the U-shaped rods 30 to move up and down.

[0053] The motor drives the rotating disk 34, which, through the sliding engagement of the pin 35 and the sliding slot 32, drives the connecting plate 31 and the U-shaped rod 30 to reciprocate up and down. This, in turn, drives the two limiting rods II 29 via the lifting plate 28 to reciprocate up and down, vibrating the fabric. The lower limiting rods II 29, when vibrating the fabric, cooperate with the compressed hot air ejected from the exhaust holes 21 to further dry the fabric and enhance its softness. Furthermore, the vibration of the fabric by limiting rods II 29 causes slight displacement of the surface fibers, disrupting hydrogen bonds between the fibers and reducing stiffness.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 8, two mounting plates 36 are fixed in the drying chamber 11, and the two mounting plates 36 are arranged up and down and are made of stainless steel. The two sliding plates 37 are slidably connected to the corresponding mounting plates 36 on the sides away from each other. The sliding plates 37 are rectangular and made of plastic. A plurality of rubber hemispheres 38 are fixed on the sides of the two sliding plates 37 that are close to each other. The rubber hemispheres 38 are made of natural rubber. The multiple rubber hemispheres 38 on the two sliding plates 37 are staggered so that when the two sliding plates 37 move toward each other, the rubber hemispheres 38 can smoothly rub and rub the fabric. A pull rod 39 is fixed on one side of the two sliding plates 37. The two pull rods 39 are symmetrically arranged, and the pull rods 39 are cylindrical and made of stainless steel. The ends of the two pull rods 39 that are away from each other are sealed and slidably extended to one side of the drying chamber 11 and are fixed with an L-shaped plate 40. The two L-shaped plates 40 slide on the bottom of the closing cover 12.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 8 A common pressing plate 41 is fixed to the tops of the two U-shaped rods 30. This pressing plate 41 is rectangular and made of stainless steel. One end of the pressing plate 41 is pivotally connected to two connecting rods 43. The bottom ends of the connecting rods 43 are pivotally connected to the tops of the two L-shaped plates 40. The lifting and lowering of the pressing plate 41 drives the two L-shaped plates 40 toward each other through the connecting rods 43. A vertical rod 42 is fixed to the top of the closure cover 12, and the top end of the vertical rod 42 slides through the pressing plate 41.

[0056] When the fabric passes through the two sliding plates 37 under the guidance of the guide roller III 23, the pressing plate 41 moves up and down under the action of the U-shaped rod 30. The pressing plate 41 drives the two L-shaped plates 40 to move toward each other through the connecting rod 43. The two L-shaped plates 40 drive the two sliding plates 37 to move toward each other through the pull rod 39 respectively. The multiple rubber hemispheres 38 between the two sliding plates 37 are staggered, which not only rubs and kneads the fabric, but also breaks the short pile on the surface of the fabric fiber, forming an irregular concave-convex structure, increasing the sliding resistance between the fibers, thereby improving the soft touch. The fibers are randomly distributed, enhancing the fluffiness of the fabric.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 A guide roller IV 24 is rotatably connected to the drying chamber 11. The guide roller IV 24 is located on the side of the horizontal plate 27 away from the guide roller III 23. A vertical plate 26 is fixed to the bottom of the closing cover 12. A winding roller 25 is rotatably connected to the side of the vertical plate 26 close to the guide roller IV 24. The winding roller 25 is driven by a motor to rewind the softened fabric.

[0058] In another embodiment: Figure 10 and Figure 11, an improvement based on Example 1: a supporting plate 44 is fixed between the immersion tank 1 and the drying chamber 11. The supporting plate 44 is rectangular and made of stainless steel. Two mounting seats 45 are fixed on the top of the supporting plate 44. A hollow roller 46 is rotatably connected between the two mounting seats 45. The hollow roller 46 is cylindrical and made of plastic. An air duct 47 is fixedly connected to one side of the drying chamber 11. One end of the air duct 47 is rotatably connected to one end of the hollow roller 46, and is used to inject the hot air in the drying chamber 11 into the hollow roller 46 through the air duct 47. A plurality of sliding rods 48 slide through the hollow roller 46. The sliding rods 48 are cylindrical and made of stainless steel. The sliding rods 48 are used to pat the fabric soaked in softener between the drying chamber 11 and the immersion tank 1. A fixing ring 49 located inside the hollow roller 46 is fixed to the outer wall of the sliding rod 48. The fixing ring 49 is circular and made of stainless steel. A tension spring 50 is sheathed around the outer wall of the sliding rod 48. The parameters of the tension spring 50 are: wire diameter 2-4 mm, outer diameter 20-30 mm, free length 50-80 mm, and maximum working load 20-50 N. The ends of the tension spring 50 are fixedly connected to the retaining ring 49 and the inner wall of the hollow roller 46, respectively, via spring seats. An elongated venting groove 51 is defined on the end of the sliding rod 48 away from the retaining ring 49. The outer wall of the sliding rod 48 is provided with multiple circular connecting grooves 52 that communicate with the venting grooves 51 and are located within the wall thickness of the hollow roller 46.

[0059] The motor drives the hollow roller 46 to rotate, and the hollow roller 46 beats the fabric through the sliding rod 48 to drain any liquid remaining on the fabric. When the sliding rod 48 touches the fabric, it extends into the hollow roller 46 under the reaction force of the fabric, stretching the tension spring 50, and the connecting groove 52 moves from the wall thickness of the hollow roller 46 into the hollow roller 46. At this time, the hot air in the drying chamber 11 is injected into the hollow roller 46 through the air guide pipe 47, and is ejected through the connecting groove 52 and the exhaust groove 51 toward the fabric in contact with the sliding rod 48. The ejected hot air further blows out the liquid on the fabric, not only improving the drying efficiency of the fabric in the later stage, but also allowing the hot air to be reused, reducing heat energy waste.

[0060] A bio-based fabric softening machine and a method for using the same, comprising the following steps:

[0061] S1. The fabric is conveyed from left to right. The fabric is immersed in the softener in the immersion tank 1 through the cooperation of two conveying rollers I2, conveying roller II3, and conveying roller III4. In order to ensure that the softener fully contacts the fabric, the softener in the immersion tank 1 is injected into the hollow tube 5 by the water pump 7 and sprayed obliquely upward through multiple drainage holes 6 on both sides of the hollow tube 5. The impact force of the softener drives the fabric to float outward. Then, the rotating shaft 8 is driven by the motor to rotate, and the rotating shaft 8 drives the arc-shaped knocking rod 9 to rotate. The arc-shaped knocking rod 9 beats the fabric floating outward, causing the fabric to vibrate, enhancing the penetration of the softener, relaxing the stress of the fabric fibers, and eliminating wrinkles. The fabric is then conveyed to the drying chamber 11 by the guide roller I13 for drying.

[0062] S2. After the fabric is guided by the two guide rollers II 15, the limiting rod group I 17, the guide roller III 23, and the guide roller IV 24, it is reeled up by the reeling roller 25, and the compressed hot air from the outside is injected into the cavity 18 through the air injection pipe 22. The hot air is sprayed downwardly through the inclined hole 20, blowing the fabrics on both sides of the inverted U-shaped plate 14 outward. The compressed air not only dries the fabric, but also loosens the fiber structure of the fabric to obtain a soft touch. When the fabric vibrates and floats outward under the action of the compressed gas, the limiting frame 16 limits it, and the multiple bending rods in the limiting frame 16 not only limit the fabric to prevent the fabric from gathering on one side, but also form a slapping effect on the vibrating fabric through the multiple static bending rods, further increasing the softness of the fabric. The gas in the cavity 18 is sprayed upward through the exhaust hole 21, and the sprayed gas dries and blows the fabric above the inverted U-shaped plate 14 again. The fluffiness and soft touch of the fabric are guaranteed by multiple air blowing and fabric vibration.

[0063] S3. When the fabric passes through the guide roller III 23 and passes between the two sliding plates 37, the pressing plate 41 moves up and down under the action of the U-shaped rod 30. The pressing plate 41 drives the two L-shaped plates 40 to move toward each other through the connecting rod 43. The two L-shaped plates 40 drive the two sliding plates 37 to move toward each other through the pull rod 39. The multiple rubber hemispheres 38 between the two sliding plates 37 are staggered, which not only rubs and kneads the fabric, but also breaks the short pile on the surface of the fabric fiber, forming an irregular concave-convex structure, increasing the sliding resistance between the fibers, thereby improving the soft touch. The fibers are randomly distributed, and the fluffiness of the fabric is enhanced.

[0064] S4. When the fabric passes over the horizontal plate 27, the fabric below the horizontal plate 27 passes through the limiting rod group II 29 below, and the fabric above the horizontal plate 27 passes through the limiting rod group II 29 above the horizontal plate 27. Then the motor drives the rotating disk 34 to rotate. The rotating disk 34 drives the connecting plate 31 and the U-shaped rod 30 to move back and forth up and down through the sliding cooperation of the pin rod 35 and the sliding groove 32, and then drives the two limiting rod groups II 29 to move back and forth up and down through the lifting plate 28, so as to vibrate the fabric. When driving the fabric to vibrate, the limiting rod group II 29 at the bottom cooperates with the compressed hot air ejected from the exhaust hole 21 to further dry the fabric and enhance the softness of the fabric. In addition, the limiting rod group II 29 drives the fabric to vibrate, causing the fibers on the surface of the fabric to produce slight displacement, destroying the hydrogen bonds between the fibers and reducing the stiffness.

[0065] S5. When the fabric enters the drying chamber 11 for drying through the cooperation of the conveying roller Ⅰ2 and the guide roller Ⅰ13, the motor drives the hollow roller 46 to rotate, and the hollow roller 46 beats the fabric through the sliding rod 48 to drain the liquid remaining on the fabric. When the sliding rod 48 touches the fabric, it extends into the hollow roller 46 under the reaction force of the fabric, and the tension spring 50 is stretched, and the connecting groove 52 moves from the wall thickness of the hollow roller 46 to the hollow roller 46. At this time, the hot air in the drying chamber 11 is injected into the hollow roller 46 through the air guide pipe 47, and is sprayed onto the fabric that touches the sliding rod 48 through the connecting groove 52 and the exhaust groove 51. The liquid on the fabric is further blown out by the sprayed hot air, which not only improves the drying efficiency of the fabric in the later stage, but also can reuse the hot air to reduce heat energy waste.
