Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wool top production technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency drying equipment for wool top production. Background Technology

[0002] Based on existing technology, it has been found that in the current wool top production process, traditional drying equipment usually uses hot air to directly blow on the surface of the wool top. However, since wool top is made up of multiple fibers intertwined, the outer fibers are prone to over-drying and becoming brittle during traditional hot air drying, while the inner fibers are prone to moisture residue due to the difficulty of hot air penetration, which can easily lead to mold growth, affecting fiber strength and subsequent spinning quality.

[0003] In addition, existing drying equipment mostly adopts a fixed blowing structure, which cannot achieve effective penetration of hot air into the interior of wool strips, and also lacks a uniform heating control mechanism. In order to meet the drying standards, it is often necessary to extend the drying time or increase the temperature, which increases energy consumption and production costs. At the same time, existing technology lacks the ability to dynamically adjust the drying area. Localized high temperature for a long time can easily lead to fiber heat damage, and it is difficult to achieve simultaneous internal and external drying, which limits the improvement of drying efficiency and quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing wool top drying equipment, such as uneven hot air penetration, resulting in low drying efficiency and severe fiber damage, this invention provides a high-efficiency drying equipment for wool top production.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a high-efficiency drying equipment for wool top production, comprising a box body and a cover; an electric door is installed on the box body, and a wool moisture meter is installed inside the box body; at least two covers are installed on the box body; it also includes guide rings, a diverter plate, a fixing plate, a fixing ring, a drive assembly, a disc, a limit ring, a support plate, a motor I, a telescopic tube, a connector, and a cylinder; at least two guide rings are installed on the box body; a diverter plate is fixedly connected to each guide ring; a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the box body; a fixing ring is fixedly connected to the fixing plate; a drive assembly is connected to the box body; a disc is slidably connected to the fixing ring, and the drive assembly is used to drive the disc to rotate; at least eight limit rings are fixedly connected to the disc; a support plate is fixedly connected to the disc; a motor I is installed on the support plate; a telescopic tube is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor I, and a connector is connected to the telescopic tube; the telescopic tube is rotatably connected to the support plate; a cylinder is rotatably connected to the disc, and the cylinder has several exhaust holes; the cylinder is connected to the telescopic tube.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a guide block; a guide block is fixedly attached to each diverter plate.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a rubber ring is provided on the side of the guide block away from the diverter plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes an electric actuator; the cylinder is made of rubber, and the side of the cylinder near the disk is made of a hard material; at least two electric actuators are fixedly connected to the cylinder.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes an electric slide rail, an electric slider, and a fixing block; at least two electric slide rails are installed on the housing; an electric slider is slidably connected to each electric slide rail; a fixing block is fixedly connected to each electric slider; and all fixing blocks are fixedly connected to a fixing ring.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a cone and an air suction pipe; the cone is fixedly connected to the fixing ring; the air suction pipe is fixedly connected to and connected to the cone; the air suction pipe penetrates the box body.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least two circular rings are fixedly connected to each limiting ring.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a humidification system; the humidification system is connected to the housing; the humidification system includes a square pipe and a water inlet pipe; a square pipe is fixedly connected to the inner side of the housing, and a plurality of water outlet holes are opened on the square pipe; a water inlet pipe is connected to the square pipe and the water inlet pipe penetrates the housing.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a filter screen is provided inside the square tube.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, activated carbon is detachably installed inside the casing.

[0015] The advantages and positive effects of this invention are: (1) By conveying hot air into the telescopic tube, the hot air flows along the telescopic tube and into the cylinder, and then is discharged from the exhaust hole on the cylinder. The exhaust hole on the cylinder is aligned with the position of the wool strip, so that the hot air blows onto the wool strip, thereby achieving the drying treatment of the wool strip.

[0016] (2) By rotating all the wool strips, the wool strips are twisted, making the structure of the wool strips looser and exposing the wool fibers in the center of the wool strips. Then, hot air is blown onto the looser wool strips, allowing the hot air to penetrate into the wool fibers in the center, thereby drying the wool fibers in the center of the wool strips.

[0017] (3) By making the cylinder rotate in both directions, the hot air blown out through the exhaust hole is blown towards the wool strip from different angles, and the coverage of the hot air is wider, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the wool strip. The cylinder is deformed, and the position and orientation of the exhaust hole are changed, thereby changing the position of the exhaust hole relative to the wool strip and changing the angle at which the hot air blows towards the wool strip, thereby further improving the drying effect of the wool strip.

[0018] (4) By making the disc and cylinder move synchronously, the problem of high local temperature of wool strips caused by the hot air impacting the wool fibers in the same position for a long time is avoided, which causes damage to the wool fibers. This allows the hot air to be blown more evenly onto the wool strips, so that the wool strips are heated evenly and the problem of local fibers becoming brittle due to excessive drying is avoided.

[0019] (5) The wool strips are sucked by the cone, which makes the cone suction and the cylinder blowing work together to dry the wool strips from the inside out, further improving the uniformity of drying the wool strips and the drying efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0033] It also includes a guide block 20102; a guide block 20102 is fixedly attached to each diverter plate 20101.

[0034] A rubber ring is provided on the side of the guide block 20102 away from the diverter plate 20101 to reduce damage to the wool strip.

[0035] It also includes an electric actuator 213; the cylinder 212 is made of rubber, and the side of the cylinder 212 near the disc 206 is made of hard material; two electric actuators 213 are fixedly connected to the inside of the cylinder 212, and the electric actuators 213 are electric push rods.

[0036] It also includes an electric slide rail 301, an electric slider 302, and a fixing block 303; two electric slide rails 301 are installed inside the housing 1; an electric slider 302 is slidably connected to each electric slide rail 301; a fixing block 303 is fixedly connected to each electric slider 302; all fixing blocks 303 are fixedly connected to the fixing ring 203.

[0037] It also includes a cone 304 and an air suction pipe 305; the cone 304 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 203; the air suction pipe 305 is fixedly connected to and connected to the cone 304; the air suction pipe 305 penetrates the box body 1.

[0038] The guide ring 201 is made of rubber, and both ends of the guide ring 201 are arc-shaped.

[0039] Two rings are fixed to each limiting ring 208 to reduce the friction between the limiting ring 208 and the wool strip.

[0040] The drive assembly includes a motor II 204, a spur gear 205, and a gear ring 207; the motor II 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the housing 1; the output shaft of the motor II 204 is fixedly connected to the spur gear 205; the gear ring 207 is fixedly connected to the disc 206; the gear ring 207 meshes with the spur gear 205.

[0041] The external pump for conveying hot air is connected to connector 21101 beforehand, and the external air pump is connected to suction pipe 305. Eight rolls of wool strips, each composed of multiple intertwined and twisted wool fibers, are then manually placed below the housing 1. The electric compartment door on housing 1 is then opened, and the movable ends of the wool strips are manually pulled through guide rings 201 in sequence. The eight wool strips are separated by diverter plates 20101 and guide blocks 20102 to guide them and prevent tangling. Each of the eight wool strips then passes through a corresponding limiting ring 208 and exits from the upper guide ring 201. Figure 8As shown, the wool strip is wound into an external winding device, which then operates to wind the dried wool strip. Next, the external pump is started to deliver hot air into the telescopic tube 211 through the connector 21101. The hot air flows along the telescopic tube 211 and into the cylinder 212, and then exits from the exhaust hole 21201 on the cylinder 212. The exhaust hole 21201 on the cylinder 212 is aligned with the position of the wool strip, so that the hot air is blown onto the wool strip, thereby achieving the drying process of the wool strip.

[0042] Because wool tops are fiber bundles formed by multiple wool fibers intertwined and twisted, this structure means that during the drying process, the outer wool fibers are exposed to hot air, allowing moisture to evaporate easily and resulting in faster drying. However, the wool fibers in the center are tightly wrapped by the outer fibers, making it difficult for hot air to penetrate and hindering moisture removal. This leads to uneven drying of the wool tops. Furthermore, to thoroughly dry the central fibers, the drying time must be extended or the temperature increased, increasing energy consumption. The outer fibers may become brittle due to over-drying, while residual moisture in the central fibers can easily cause mold growth and fiber damage. In addition, differences in the moisture content of wool fibers can easily lead to uneven tension during spinning, affecting yarn quality.

[0043] To solve the above problem, motor II 204 is started. The output shaft of motor II 204 rotates, driving spur gear 205 to reciprocate at a small angle. The rotation of spur gear 205 drives gear ring 207 to rotate, which in turn drives disc 206 to rotate. The rotation of disc 206 drives all limit rings 208 to rotate, which in turn drives all wool strips to rotate. Meanwhile, guide ring 201 remains stationary and does not rotate. This causes the wool strips to twist, pulling the wool strips at the bottom of box 1 into box 1. When motor II 204 resets, the wool strips inside box 1 naturally droop and loosen. Compared to the taut wool strips, the drooping wool strips... The structure becomes looser, exposing the wool fibers in the center of the wool strip. At the same time, the rotation of the disc 206 drives the support plate 209 to rotate, which in turn drives the motor I 210 to rotate. The output shaft of the motor I 210 rotates, causing the telescopic tube 211 to rotate relative to the disc 206. The rotation of the telescopic tube 211 drives the cylinder 212 to rotate, thereby aligning the exhaust hole 21201 on the cylinder 212 with the twisted wool strip again. This allows hot air to blow onto the looser wool strip, allowing the hot air to penetrate into the wool fibers in the center, thus drying the wool fibers in the center of the wool strip.

[0044] Then, the motor I 210 is started and rotated in both directions. The output shaft of the motor I 210 rotates, which drives the telescopic tube 211 to rotate. The rotation of the telescopic tube 211 drives the cylinder 212 to rotate, which in turn causes the cylinder 212 to rotate in both directions. This allows the hot air blown out through the exhaust port 21201 to be blown onto the wool strip from different angles, thus increasing the coverage of the hot air and improving the drying efficiency of the wool strip. Furthermore, by controlling the two electric actuators 213 to start, the cylinder 212 is moved to the side closer to the disc 206. This causes the cylinder 212 to contract downwards and deform. The deformation of the cylinder 212 changes the position and orientation of the exhaust port 21201, thereby changing the position of the exhaust port 21201 relative to the wool strip and changing the angle at which the hot air blows onto the wool strip, thus further improving the drying effect of the wool strip.

[0045] Since wool tops require a preset drying time to meet production standards, prolonged exposure of the wool fibers to hot air can cause localized overheating and damage. To address this, two electric sliders 302 are activated, each moving downwards along an electric slide rail 301. Each slider's movement drives a fixed block 303, which in turn moves the fixed ring 203, causing all connected components to move. This synchronizes the downward movement of the disc 206 and cylinder 212, preventing prolonged hot air impact on the wool fibers and thus avoiding damage. The high local temperature of the wool strip can cause damage to the wool fibers. At the same time, by controlling the two electric sliders 302 to move up and down along an electric slide rail 301, the disc 206 and the cylinder 212 move up and down synchronously, so that the hot air is blown more evenly onto the wool strip, thus ensuring that the wool strip is heated evenly and preventing the local fibers from becoming brittle due to excessive drying, which would cause fiber damage. Then, the wool moisture meter in the box 1 is started to operate, and the moisture content of the wool strip is detected by the principle of high frequency electromagnetic waves. After the moisture content of the wool strip reaches the standard, the external winding equipment is controlled to wind up the dried wool strip.

[0046] It should be noted that, in order to further improve the drying efficiency of wool tops, the operation of an external air pump is controlled to draw air, thereby creating negative pressure in the suction pipe 305 and the cone 304. The cone 304 then draws in the wool tops, and the air drawing in the cone 304 works in conjunction with the air blowing in the cylinder 212 to dry the wool tops from the inside out, thereby further improving the uniformity and efficiency of the drying process.

[0047] Example 2: Based on Example 1, according to Figure 2 and Figure 9As shown, it also includes a humidification system; the humidification system is connected to the housing 1; the humidification system includes a square pipe 401 and a water inlet pipe 402; the square pipe 401 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the housing 1, and several water outlet holes are opened on the square pipe 401; a water inlet pipe 402 is fixedly connected to and connected to the square pipe 401, and the water inlet pipe 402 penetrates the housing 1.

[0048] The square tube 401 is equipped with a filter screen for filtering water.

[0049] Activated carbon is detachably installed inside the cover 2 to purify the air discharged from the box 1.

[0050] The external water pump for water supply is connected to the inlet pipe 402 before drying the wool top. The external water pump is started to supply water into the inlet pipe 402 before drying the wool top. The water then enters the square pipe 401 and is sprayed out through the water outlet on the square pipe 401, thus spraying water onto the wool top and humidifying it. This results in moisture on the surface of the wool top, which makes the surface of the wool fibers sticky and increases the friction and cohesion between the fibers. This makes the wool top structure more compact and stronger, and less prone to falling apart or breaking during subsequent processing, which helps to improve the quality and strength of the yarn.

[0051] It should be understood that this embodiment is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
