[0001] This invention relates to the field of bath towel production technology, specifically a method for softening and shaping bath towels. Background Technology
[0002] Bath towels are a common item in our daily lives. In order to achieve better performance during the production process, bath towels are often softened through various means. The most common softening method is soaking them in a fabric softener.
[0003] Patent application CN202111672209.9 mentions "a softening device for bath towel production." This patent allows uncutable bath towel fabric to be fully soaked in a softener, thereby significantly improving the softness of the bath towel. It replaces existing bath towel softening equipment.

A second isolation plate is installed inside the processing box near the first isolation plate. A wrinkle removal tube is installed inside the processing box near both the first and second isolation plates. A top guide roller is rotatably installed on the top of both the first and second isolation plates. A winding bracket is installed at the end of the processing box away from the side guide rail. A winding motor is installed at one end of the winding bracket, and the output shaft of the winding motor passes through the winding bracket and is connected to a winding shaft.
[0012] According to the above technical solution, a wrinkle removal hole is provided at the bottom of the wrinkle removal tube, a rubber frame is bonded to the inner edge of the wrinkle removal hole, the rubber frame is bonded to the outside of the vibration plate, and a vibration motor is installed at the top center of the vibration plate.

[0016] 2. Equipped with a wrinkle-removing and shaping component, when the bath towel enters between the first and second partition plates, it undergoes a first rinse with clean water to remove some of the fabric softener. A vibration motor is then activated, causing the vibration plate to vibrate. The vibration is eliminated and transmitted through the rubber frame, resulting in minimal vibration reaching the wrinkle-removing tube. The vibration plate effectively removes wrinkles from the passing bath towel, making it smoother. Similarly, when the bath towel enters between the second partition plate and the other end of the processing box, it undergoes another rinse, squeezing, and wrinkle removal with clean water, further smoothing the towel. After shaping, the bath towel is collected, and a winding motor drives the winding shaft to rotate, making collection convenient and fast.
[0017] In summary, both the wrinkle-removing and shaping components and the softening components are installed inside the processing box and operate continuously. After softening, the towels are quickly rinsed, wrinkle-removed, shaped, and collected, which improves overall work efficiency and greatly increases the production efficiency of bath towels.

A top guide roller 304 is rotatably installed on the top of both the first isolation plate 301 and the second isolation plate 302. A winding bracket 305 is installed at the end of the processing box 1 away from the side guide rail 201. A winding motor 306 is installed at one end of the winding bracket 305. The output shaft of the winding motor 306 passes through the winding bracket 305 and is connected to a winding shaft 307. A wrinkle removal hole 308 is opened at the bottom end of the wrinkle removal tube 303. A rubber frame 309 is glued to the inner edge of the wrinkle removal hole 308. The rubber frame 309 is glued to the outside of the vibrating plate 310. A vibrating motor 311 is installed at the top center of the vibrating plate 310.

The bottom surface of the vibrating plate 310 is a smooth curved surface to ensure the normal operation of the winding motor 306 and the vibrating motor 311. Softener is poured between one end of the processing box 1 and the first isolation plate 301. Clean water is poured between the first isolation plate 301 and the second isolation plate 302 inside the processing box 1, and between the second isolation plate 302 and the other end of the processing box 1, to facilitate the removal of excess softener.
[0024] The working principle and usage process of this invention: Softener is poured between one end of the processing box 1 and the first isolation plate 301. Clean water is poured between the first isolation plate 301 and the second isolation plate 302 inside the processing box 1, and between the second isolation plate 302 and the other end of the processing box 1. The bath towel to be softened is pulled and passes through the driven guide roller 206, the fixed guide roller 219, and the connecting port 218 in sequence into the fixed cylinder 211. Then it passes through the connecting port 218 on the other side, and is guided by the fixed guide roller 219 to the top guide roller 304 at the top of the first isolation plate 301. After passing through the first wrinkle removal tube 303, the top guide roller 304 at the top of the second isolation plate 302, and the second wrinkle removal tube 303, it is finally wound up by the winding shaft 307. As the bath towel passes between the driven guide roller 206 and the active guide roller 207, the guide motor 208 rotates, pulling and traction the bath towel. The starting end drive motor 205 rotates, and the lead screw 204 rotates, pulling the guide bracket 202 to slide within the side guide rail 201, thereby adjusting the tension of the bath towel. The tension can be adjusted as needed for convenient subsequent processing. When the bath towel is inside the fixed cylinder 211, the drive motor 209 is started, and the rotating shaft 210 drives the flexible impact rods 215 at both ends to impact the bath towel on the top surface of the impact plate 212. While impacting, the bath towel is buffered by the connecting spring 213 to prevent damage. Through continuous and multiple squeezing and absorption of fabric softener in a short period of time, the fabric softener can better penetrate into the bath towel. The rotating flexible impact rods 215 also agitate the fabric softener, making the fabric softener distribution more uniform, resulting in better fabric softener penetration and improved fabric softener processing efficiency. When the bath towel enters between the first partition plate 301 and the second partition plate 302, it is first rinsed with clean water to remove some of the fabric softener. The vibration motor 311 is then activated, causing the vibration plate 310 to vibrate. The vibration is eliminated and transmitted through the rubber frame 309, and the vibration transmitted to the wrinkle removal tube 303 is relatively small. The vibration of the vibration plate 310 eliminates the wrinkles of the bath towel, making the bath towel smoother. Similarly, when the bath towel enters between the second partition plate 302 and the other end of the processing box 1, it is rinsed, squeezed, and wrinkled again with clean water, which further smooths the bath towel. After the bath towel is shaped, it is collected. The winding motor 306 drives the winding shaft 307 to rotate, making collection convenient and fast.
[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
