[0002] In the field of garment processing, the formation of pills is a key problem affecting the quality and appearance of finished garments.

[0024] Please see Figs. 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a garment processing lint removal device, including a workbench 1, an operation screen 2 fixedly connected to the workbench 1, a pressure sensing pad 3 fixedly connected to the workbench 1, a support column 4 fixedly connected to the workbench 1, two hydraulic cylinders 5 symmetrically fixedly connected to the support column 4, a telescopic rod 6 provided under each hydraulic cylinder 5, and a fixed pressure plate 7 fixedly connected under the telescopic rod 6. The pressure sensor pad 3 monitors the pressure distribution after the fabric is fixed in real time to ensure uniform fixing force and avoid local overpressure that could cause fabric deformation. At the same time, the fixing status is fed back to the operation screen 2. A motor 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting layer 8. An infrared spectral sensor 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting layer 8. Two grooves 11 are provided under the mounting layer 8. A screw 12 is provided in the groove 11. The screw 12 is connected to the motor 9. Two moving blocks 13 are threadedly connected to the screw 12. Two flat wrinkle mounting platforms 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving blocks 13. Hydraulic cylinders 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each flat wrinkle mounting platform 14. Telescopic rods 6 are provided under each hydraulic cylinder 5. Flat wrinkle rings 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each telescopic rod 6. Bionic saw teeth 16 are provided under the flat wrinkle rings 15. The hydraulic cylinder 5 under the flat-creasing installation table 14 drives the telescopic rod 6 to descend, and drives the flat-creasing ring 15 to press the surface of the fabric, and the flat-creasing ring 15 locally tightens the fabric through moderate pressure, and realizes the stretching flat-creasing of the fabric through the lateral movement of the moving block 13; The motor 9 is arranged on the installation layer 8, the processing head installation table 17 is fixedly connected below the installation layer 8, the turntable 18 is arranged below the processing head installation table 17, the hydraulic cylinder 5 is fixedly connected below the turntable 18, the telescopic rod 6 is arranged below the hydraulic cylinder 5, the pressure sensor 19 is fixedly connected below the telescopic rod 6, the six micro pneumatic cylinders 20 are arranged below the pressure sensor 19, the mounting block 21 is arranged below the micro pneumatic cylinders 20, and the processing head 22 is arranged below the mounting block 21; the buckle 23 is arranged between the processing head 22 and the mounting block 21; When the processing head 22 approaches the fabric, the six micro pneumatic cylinders 20 realize multi-angle adjustment through independent stretching, accurately adapt to the curvature of the curved surface parts such as the collar and the cuff; the pressure sensor 19 monitors the contact pressure of the processing head 22 and the fabric in real time, and data is transmitted to the operation screen 2.

[0025] Working principle: after the equipment is started, the operator lays the fabric to be processed on the pressure sensing mat 3 of the workbench 1, the model of the pressure sensing mat 3 is Tekscan Flexiforce A201, based on the piezoresistive effect, the conductive polymer layer inside the sensing mat deforms when subjected to fabric pressure, causing the resistance value to change with the pressure, through the distributed pressure sensing array, the pressure data of each area of the fabric is collected in real time, the pressure sensing mat 3 triggers the initial detection through the pressure signal generated by the contact of the fabric, and transmits the basic data such as the coverage range and the thickness distribution of the fabric to the operation screen 2; the operator presets the processing parameters such as the flat-creasing degree, the processing head 22 pressure and the lint removal mode through the operation screen 2; the infrared spectrum sensor 10 is a complex optical MicroNIR-1700, which utilizes the characteristic interaction between mid-infrared light and fiber molecules, and different fiber molecular vibration and rotation energy level transitions will absorb infrared light of specific wavelength, forming a unique absorption spectrum; the sensor captures the spectrum signal through a high-sensitivity InGaAs detector, and combines with the built-in fiber database for comparison and analysis, to quickly identify the fabric composition and thickness parameters, and provide basis for subsequent lint removal parameter adjustment; after the parameter setting is completed, the equipment enters the automatic processing process.

[0026] The two hydraulic cylinders 5 under the support column 4 receive the instruction of the operation screen 2, drive the telescopic rod 6 to extend downward, drive the fixed pressing sheet 7 to descend synchronously, and until the fixed pressing sheet 7 is tightly pressed against the edges of the fabric on both sides. The pressure sensing mat 3 monitors the pressure distribution of the fixed fabric in real time, ensures that the fixing degree is uniform, avoids local overpressure to cause the deformation of the fabric, and simultaneously feeds back the fixed state to the operation screen 2, and displays that the fabric has been fixed.

[0027] The motor 9 on one side of the installation layer 8 is started to drive the screw rod 12 in the groove 11 to rotate. Since the two moving blocks 13 are symmetrically screwed on the screw rod 12, the screw rod 12 drives the two moving blocks 13 to move towards or away from each other along the groove 11 when it rotates, thereby synchronously moving the flat-creasing installation table 14. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder 5 under the flat-creasing installation table 14 drives the telescopic rod 6 to descend, thereby driving the flat-creasing ring 15 to press the surface of the fabric. The flat-creasing ring 15 locally tightens the fabric by moderate pressure, and cooperates with the transverse movement of the moving block 13 to realize the stretching flat-creasing of the fabric. The bionic sawtooth 16 under the flat-creasing ring 15 assists in combing the fibers of the fabric during the tightening process to avoid the accumulation of wrinkles, especially the wrinkles caused by the relaxation of elastic fabric. The fabric is kept in a flat tension state by directional tightening. During the flat-creasing process, the pressure sensing pad 3 feeds back the tension change of the fabric in real time, and the operating screen 2 dynamically adjusts the pressing force and moving speed of the flat-creasing ring 15 according to the tension data to prevent excessive tension from damaging the fibers of the elastic fabric.

[0028] After the flat-creasing is completed, the motor 9 on the installation layer 8 drives the rotating disc 18 under the processing head installation table 17 to rotate, thereby preliminarily adjusting the working orientation of the processing head 22. Subsequently, the hydraulic cylinder 5 under the processing head installation table 17 drives the telescopic rod 6 to descend, thereby driving the pressure sensor 19, the micro air cylinder 20 below, and the processing head 22 as a whole to approach the fabric. The micro air cylinder 20 is a model SMCCDJ2B10-15Z, which uses compressed air as power to realize the linear extension and contraction of the telescopic rod through the reciprocating movement of the piston in the cylinder. The pressure sensor 19 is a Honeywell FSG15N1A, which is a strain gauge type sensor using silicon micromachining technology. When the processing head contacts the fabric to generate pressure, the silicon diaphragm elastically deforms, causing the resistance value of the diffusion resistor to change, thereby breaking the balance of the Wheatstone bridge and outputting a voltage signal proportional to the pressure. The processing head contact pressure can be monitored in real time. When the processing head 22 approaches the fabric, the six micro air cylinders 20 realize multi-angle adjustment through independent extension and contraction, thereby accurately adapting to the curvature of curved parts such as the neckline and the cuff. The processing head 22 is a Branson 2000X series, which resonates with the wool ball through high-frequency mechanical vibration, cuts the wool ball fibers by shear force, and is suitable for elastic fabrics such as wool and knitted fabrics. The pressure sensor 19 monitors the contact pressure between the processing head 22 and the fabric in real time, and transmits the data to the operating screen 2. If the pressure does not reach the preset value, the hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the telescopic rod 6 to fine-tune the height, thereby ensuring the stable pressure of the processing head 22. The processing head 22 is connected with the mounting block 21 through the buckle 23, and can be quickly replaced according to the type of fabric. For example, the ultrasonic cutting head is suitable for ordinary fabrics, and the laser head is suitable for fine fabrics. The operating screen 2 synchronously displays the progress of the wool ball removal and the parameters such as the angle and pressure of the processing head 22.

[0029] After the treatment is completed, each component is reset in turn: the fixed pressing plate 7 is lifted, the flat crease ring 15 is returned to the initial position, the treatment head 22 is lifted and the micro-cylinder 20 is reset to the initial angle, and the operation screen 2 displays the treatment completion and emits a prompt sound. The operator can check the treatment parameters and the fabric state data recorded by the pressure sensing pad 3 through the operation screen 2, and take down the fabric after confirming the qualification, thereby completing the once-fuzz-removing process.

[0030] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail above with reference to the drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge of those skilled in the art in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application.
