Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of texturing machine technology, and more specifically, to a low-height pedal texturing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Texturing machines are core equipment in the textile industry used to process untwisted yarns such as polyester and polypropylene into elastic yarns through false twisting. The pedal serves as an important operating and maintenance platform for the texturing machine, used by operators for equipment inspection, debugging, and troubleshooting.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used pedal height for texturing machines in the industry is 300-400mm. However, this higher pedal design has many drawbacks:

[0004] First, it occupies a lot of operating space, resulting in a compact layout that is prone to safety hazards such as bumps and knocks.

[0005] Secondly, the frequent climbing up and down of the high pedals by operators is physically demanding and not conducive to rapid response to faults.

[0006] In addition, the oil rollers and wire probes of existing texturing machines are usually installed under the pedal, in a narrow and enclosed space, which makes installation, maintenance and cleaning operations extremely inconvenient.

[0007] Meanwhile, the installation angles of existing wire probes are mostly fixed or have complex adjustments, making it difficult to adapt to the processing needs of different wire specifications. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and propose a low-height pedal loading machine.

[0009] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A low-height pedal texturing machine includes a texturing machine body, a pedal assembly, an oil roller, and a wire probe. The texturing machine body includes a main frame and auxiliary frames disposed on both sides of the main frame.

[0011] The pedal assembly is fixedly installed between the main frame and the sub-frame. The upper surface of the pedal assembly is mm above the ground. A mobile climbing trolley is movably mounted on the pedal assembly.

[0012] The oil roller and the wire probe are respectively installed near the side of the subframe and the main frame and are located outside the space above the pedal assembly;

[0013] The texturing machine also includes an angle adjustment mechanism, which is connected to the wire probe and is used to adjust the installation angle of the wire probe.

[0014] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the pedal assembly includes a support frame, the oil roller and the wire probe are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the support frame, and a plurality of anti-slip plates are fixedly installed on the support frame, the surface of the anti-slip plates is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention: a plurality of pipe clamps are fixedly installed on the bottom of each anti-slip plate, arranged from the main frame direction to the secondary frame direction, and a raw wire tube is arranged in the pipe clamp on the same line, wherein the raw wire tube is adapted to the pipe clamp.

[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention: a support plate extending from front to back is fixedly installed on both sides of the support frame, and a guide wire is fixedly installed on the support plate corresponding to the original wire tube.

[0017] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the angle adjustment mechanism is an eccentric wheel type adjustment structure, and the angle adjustment mechanism is provided in two sets and arranged front and back on the support frame. The two sets of angle adjustment mechanisms are fixedly installed with support plates two, and the wire probe is fixedly installed on the support plates two.

[0018] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the angle adjustment mechanism includes a fixed bracket, a wing plate, and an eccentric adjustment assembly. The fixed bracket is fixedly installed on the support frame and is hinged to the wing plate. The eccentric adjustment assembly can drive the wing plate to swing around the hinge point, thereby driving the wire probe to rotate.

[0019] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the eccentric adjustment assembly includes an adjustment shaft that is inserted through the wing plate, the fixed bracket has an arc-shaped groove with the same center as the hinge point, the adjustment shaft extends through the arc-shaped groove to the outside of the fixed bracket, the adjustment shaft is provided with a locking member, the locking member is a nut, and the locking member is threadedly connected to the adjustment shaft;

[0020] When the locking element is loosened, the adjusting shaft can be slid along the arc groove, which can drive the wing plate to swing around the hinge point, thereby driving the second support plate and the wire probe to rotate.

[0021] As a further aspect of the present invention: the central angle of the arc groove is 30° to 50°, and an angle scale line is provided on the fixed bracket corresponding to the arc groove, the accuracy of the angle scale line is 1°.

[0022] As a further aspect of the present invention: the mobile climbing trolley includes a frame, on which multiple climbing platforms of gradually increasing height are mounted, and the surface of the climbing platforms is also provided with anti-slip textures, and the bottom of the frame is equipped with mobile rollers.

[0023] As a further aspect of the present invention: the maximum climbing height of the highest climbing platform is 400mm, and a protective railing is provided around the climbing platform.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are:

[0025] I. This solution reduces the height of the pedal from the existing 300-400mm to 35mm, effectively reducing the pedal's impact on the surrounding operating space of the texturing machine and minimizing safety hazards such as bumps and knocks. Simultaneously, the lower pedal height eliminates the need for operators to frequently climb up and down, significantly reducing labor intensity, facilitating rapid response to equipment malfunctions, and improving production continuity. Combined with the mobile access trolley installed on the pedal, it flexibly meets the operator's needs for working on higher parts of the texturing machine, improving operational efficiency.

[0026] Second, this solution moves the oil roller and wire probe from under the pedal and arranges them on both sides of the texturing machine body, which completely solves the problems of narrow space and inconvenient maintenance in the existing layout. Operators can directly access the oil roller and wire probe, which facilitates cleaning, inspection and installation, reduces maintenance labor intensity and improves the stability of product processing quality.

[0027] Third, this solution utilizes an eccentric wheel-type adjustment structure as the angle adjustment mechanism for the wire probe, which is simple in structure and convenient to adjust. Operators can loosen the locking components to slide the adjusting shaft along the arc-shaped groove on the fixed bracket, precisely driving the wing plate to swing, thereby adjusting the installation angle of the wire probe to adapt to the processing needs of wires of different specifications and orientations. The concentric design of the arc-shaped groove and the hinge point ensures a smooth and stable adjustment process, while the scale lines make the adjustment more intuitive and precise.

[0028] Fourth, the improved structure in this solution is based on the optimization of the existing texturing machine's main structure, requiring no major modifications to the core processing components. The modification is simple and cost-effective. Furthermore, the optimized structure is easy to operate and maintain, adaptable to the production needs of existing textile enterprises, and possesses strong practicality and promotional value for both new equipment production and old equipment upgrades.

[0042] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a low-height pedal texturing machine includes a texturing machine body 1, a pedal assembly 2, an oil roller 3, and a wire probe 4. The texturing machine body 1 includes a main frame 11 and auxiliary frames 12 disposed on both sides of the main frame 11.

[0044] Installation and structure of pedal assembly 2:

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the pedal assembly 2 is fixedly installed between the main frame 11 and the secondary frame 12, and the upper surface of the pedal assembly 2 is 35mm above the ground. This low-height design allows operators to walk onto the pedal naturally without having to lift their legs, significantly reducing the labor intensity of climbing up and down the pedal.

[0046] The pedal assembly 2 includes a support frame 21, which is welded from high-strength metal profiles and has good load-bearing capacity. Several anti-slip plates 22 are fixedly installed on the support frame 21. The surface of the anti-slip plates 22 is provided with anti-slip textures, which can be raised anti-slip dots, diamond patterns, or stripe patterns to increase friction and prevent operators from slipping while walking or working.

[0047] Each anti-slip plate 22 has multiple pipe clamps 23 fixedly installed at its bottom, arranged from the main frame 11 towards the secondary frame 12. A raw wire tube 24 is arranged inside each pipe clamp 23 along the same line, and the raw wire tube 24 is compatible with the pipe clamp 23. The pipe clamp 23 can be a flexible plastic clip or a metal clamp, used to reliably fix the raw wire tube 24 to the bottom of the anti-slip plate 22. The raw wire tube 24 allows the wire to pass through, making full use of the space under the pedal.

[0048] Support plates 25 extending from front to back are fixedly installed on both sides of the support frame 21. A wire guide 26 is fixedly installed on the support plate 25 corresponding to the original wire tube 24. The wire guide 26 is used to guide the wire direction and ensure that the wire is accurately positioned during processing.

[0049] Mobile Aerial Climbing Trolley 6:

[0050] A mobile climbing trolley 6 is movably mounted on the pedal assembly 2, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the mobile aerial work platform 6 includes a frame 61 on which multiple aerial platforms 62 of gradually increasing height are mounted. The surfaces of the aerial platforms 62 are also textured with anti-slip patterns to ensure safety during aerial work. The bottom of the frame 61 is equipped with casters 63, which have brakes and can be locked after positioning to prevent the platform from sliding. The maximum climbing height of the highest aerial platform 62 is 400mm, and a guardrail 64 is installed around each platform 62 to effectively prevent operators from falling from heights.

[0051] When it is necessary to inspect or maintain components at higher positions on the texturing machine, the operator can push the mobile ladder trolley 6 to a suitable location and climb onto the ladder platform 62 at the corresponding height to perform the work. After the work is completed, the trolley can be pushed to an area that will not affect normal production.

[0052] Side-mounted layout of oil roller 3 and wire probe 4:

[0053] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, the oil roller 3 and the wire probe 4 are respectively installed on the sides near the sub-frame 12 and the main frame 11, and are located outside the space above the pedal assembly 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the oil roller 3 is installed on the side near the sub-frame 12, and the wire probe 4 is installed on the side near the main frame 11. This layout allows the oil roller 3 and the wire probe 4 to be fully exposed within the operator's field of vision, enabling cleaning, maintenance, and adjustment without bending over or crawling under the pedal.

[0054] Angle adjustment mechanism 5:

[0055] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the texturing machine also includes an angle adjustment mechanism 5, which is connected to the wire probe 4 and is used to adjust the installation angle of the wire probe 4.

[0056] The angle adjustment mechanism 5 is an eccentric wheel type adjustment structure. Two sets of angle adjustment mechanisms 5 are arranged front and back on the support frame 21. The two sets arranged front and back can ensure the stability of the support plate 7 and the wire probe 4, avoiding swaying caused by single-point support. The support plate 7 is fixedly installed on the two sets of angle adjustment mechanisms 5, and the wire probe 4 is fixedly installed on the support plate 7.

[0057] Specifically, the angle adjustment mechanism 5 includes a fixed bracket 51, a wing plate 52, and an eccentric adjustment assembly 53. The fixed bracket 51 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 21 by bolts, and the fixed bracket 51 is hinged to the wing plate 52 via a hinge shaft. The support plate 7 is fixedly mounted on the wing plate 52 by screws. The eccentric adjustment assembly 53 can drive the wing plate 52 to swing around the hinge point, thereby driving the wire probe 4 to rotate.

[0058] The eccentric adjustment assembly 53 includes an adjustment shaft 531 that is inserted through the wing plate 52. An arc-shaped groove 532, concentric with the hinge point, is provided on the fixed bracket 51. The adjustment shaft 531 extends through the arc-shaped groove 532 to the outside of the fixed bracket 51. A locking element 533, which is a nut, is provided on the adjustment shaft 531 and is threadedly connected to the adjustment shaft 531.

[0059] When the angle of the wire probe 4 needs to be adjusted, the operator first loosens the locking piece 533, and then manually moves the adjusting shaft 531 or directly pushes the wing plate 52, causing the adjusting shaft 531 to slide along the arc-shaped groove 532. The center of the arc-shaped groove 532 coincides with the hinge point, ensuring that the driving force of the adjusting shaft 531 on the wing plate 52 during sliding is always matched with the swing direction of the wing plate 52, preventing jamming. As the adjusting shaft 531 slides, the wing plate 52 swings smoothly around the hinge point, driving the support plate 7 and the wire probe 4 to rotate synchronously.

[0060] The central angle of the arc groove 532 is 30° to 50°. The fixed bracket 51 has angle scale lines corresponding to the arc groove 532, with an accuracy of 1°. The operator can precisely adjust the wire probe 4 to the desired angle according to the scale lines, with an adjustment range of 30° to 50°. After adjustment, tighten the locking piece 533 to secure the adjusting shaft 531, the wing plate 52, and the fixed bracket 51, preventing angle deviation due to vibration during operation.

[0061] A brief description of the working principle of this embodiment:

[0062] During normal production, operators can easily move on the 35mm low-height pedal assembly 2 to inspect the equipment. When it is necessary to clean or repair the oil roller 3 or wire probe 4, since they are placed sideways outside the space above the pedal assembly 2, operators can directly access them without bending over or using special tools.

[0063] When product specifications are changed or the direction of the wire changes, the operator can quickly loosen the locking part 533, adjust the wire probe 4 to the appropriate angle according to the angle scale line on the fixed bracket 51, and then lock it. The whole adjustment process is fast and efficient.

[0064] When maintenance is required on components at higher positions of the texturing machine (such as the false twister, heating box, etc.), the operator can push the mobile climbing trolley 6 to a suitable position, climb onto the climbing platform 62, and work safely under the protection of the guardrail 64.

[0065] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and its improved concepts, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
