Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of textile production, and in particular to a placement rack for warp knitted fabrics. Background Art

[0002] Currently, after the warp knitted fabric is woven from yarns, it is usually collected and transported in the form of roller winding or bagging, and then sent to a fabric inspection machine for quality inspection of the warp knitted fabric.

[0003] When the warp knitted fabric is sent to the fabric inspection machine in bagged form for quality inspection, a clean carpet is usually laid on one side of the feeding end of the fabric inspection machine, and then the warp knitted fabric is taken out of the bag and placed on the carpet. Then the staff takes out one end of the warp knitted fabric and winds it on the fabric inspection machine to complete the feeding. The fabric inspection machine can then be used to perform quality inspection on the warp knitted fabric.

[0004] However, during operation, the carpet is easily dirty and thus affects the warp knitted fabric placed on it. Frequent replacement of the carpet not only brings trouble to the operation but also increases the corresponding cost. In addition, the warp knitted fabric placed on the carpet is too close to the ground and is easily affected by the damp season.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a placement rack that is convenient for placing warp knitted fabrics on one side of a feeding end of a fabric inspection machine. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present application provides a placement rack for warp knitted fabrics, which can facilitate workers to stack warp knitted fabrics on one side of a fabric inspection machine to facilitate subsequent winding and loading, and can reduce the probability of the warp knitted fabrics being damp and contaminated.

[0044] The following is combined with Figure 1-8 This application is described in further detail.

[0045] Embodiment 1:

[0046] Reference Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application discloses a placement rack for warp knitted fabrics, which is used to facilitate workers to place the warp knitted fabrics on one side of the feeding end of a fabric inspection machine, so as to facilitate the subsequent winding and feeding operations of the warp knitted fabrics on the fabric inspection machine.

[0047] The placement rack comprises a placement piece 1 for placing warp knitted fabrics and a frame body 2 for supporting the placement piece 1.

[0048] The frame 2 is a rectangular frame structure, and the storage element 1 is a curved rectangular plate structure. The storage element 1 is fixedly mounted on the top of the frame 2, and the bottom of the frame 2 is in contact with the ground.

[0049] The top structure of the frame 2 is compatible with the structure of the storage piece 1 , and preferably, the two width sides of the top of the frame 2 are arc-shaped structures that are compatible with the storage piece 1 .

[0050] After the storage element 1 is fixedly installed on the frame 2, the upper end surface of the storage element 1 is the storage surface 11, and the warp knitted fabric will contact the storage surface 11 after being placed on the storage element 1. The storage surface 11 is a downwardly concave arc surface, and the storage element 1 has a storage space 3 above the storage surface 11 for storing enough warp knitted fabric. After the warp knitted fabric is placed on the storage surface 11, it can gather along the arc surface toward the center in the storage space 3, effectively reducing the probability of the warp knitted fabric spreading and causing part of it to fall to the ground, thereby reducing the probability of the warp knitted fabric getting damp and contaminated.

[0051] The implementation principle of a placement rack for warp knitted fabrics in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0052] Before placing the warp knitted fabric on the storage piece 1, the staff first cleans the storage surface 11 to reduce impurities on the storage surface 11; then the warp knitted fabric is placed on the storage piece 1, and the warp knitted fabric is gathered toward the center along the arc surface of the storage surface 11 in the storage space 3 to improve the position stability of the warp knitted fabric after being placed on the storage piece 1, so that it is convenient for the staff to take out one end of the warp knitted fabric to complete the feeding and winding operation on the cloth inspection machine.

[0053] Embodiment 2:

[0054] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 lies in the placement piece 1.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 The storage element 1 is provided with a plurality of leak holes 12, and the plurality of leak holes 12 are evenly distributed at equal intervals on the storage surface 11. One end of the leak hole 12 passes through the storage surface 11 and communicates with the storage space 3, and the other end of the leak hole 12 passes through the bottom end surface of the storage element 1 and communicates with the space below the storage element 1.

[0056] At this time, when no warp knitted fabric is placed on the storage element 1, part of the impurities such as dust and water drops on the storage surface 11 can leave the storage surface 11 through the leak holes 12 and fall to the ground, and the other part can be cleaned by the staff before use, and the operation is convenient. The probability of the storage surface 11 being affected by moisture and contamination is reduced, so that the probability of the warp knitted fabric placed on the storage surface 11 being affected by moisture and contamination can be reduced.

[0057] The implementation principle of a placement rack for warp knitted fabrics in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0058] When the warp knitted fabric is not placed on the storage piece 1, some impurities such as dust and water droplets on the storage surface 11 can move along the curved surface and leave through the plurality of leakage holes 12, thereby effectively improving the cleanliness of the storage surface 11, and further effectively reducing the influence of moisture and contamination on the warp knitted fabric after being placed on the storage surface 11; at the same time, it is convenient for the staff to clean the storage surface 11 before placing the warp knitted fabric on the storage piece 1, thereby improving the cleanliness of the storage piece 1 after cleaning.

[0059] Embodiment 3:

[0060] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the storage element 1 and the frame 2.

[0061] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The storage piece 1 is elastic and has a rectangular structure when not subjected to external force. The two ends of the storage piece 1 in the width direction are fixedly connected to the two ends of the top width direction of the frame 2, and the frame 2 has a space below the storage piece 1 for the storage piece 1 to bend and deform downward.

[0062] The storage member 1 is a mesh structure, and a plurality of mesh holes 13 for impurities to pass through are evenly distributed on the storage member 1, and both ends of the mesh holes 13 are respectively connected to the storage space 3 and the space below the storage member 1. In this embodiment, the storage member 1 is preferably a mesh woven from rubber bands.

[0063] When the warp knitted fabric is not placed on the storage element 1, the storage element 1 is in a horizontal position. At this time, due to the presence of the plurality of mesh holes 13 on the storage surface 11, impurities are not easy to stay on the storage surface 11, and the impurities on the storage surface 11 can leave through the mesh holes 13 during the cleaning process.

[0064] When the warp knitted fabric is placed on the storage piece 1, the storage piece 1 will be bent and deformed downward by the gravity of the warp knitted fabric, so that the warp knitted fabric can be gathered toward the center in the storage space 3, so as to improve the position stability of the warp knitted fabric after being placed on the storage piece 1; at the same time, on the storage piece 1 that has been bent and deformed downward, the aperture of the mesh 13 is also increased, which can further help impurities on the storage surface 11 to leave through the mesh 13.

[0065] Furthermore, in order to prevent the storage piece 1 from being excessively bent and deformed by the gravity of the warp knitted fabric, causing damage or breakage of the storage piece 1, and to extend the service life of the storage piece 1, the frame 2 also includes a first support member 4 for supporting the storage piece 1 and the warp knitted fabric placed on the storage piece 1.

[0066] The first support member 4 is located below the storage member 1 , and one end of the first support member 4 close to the storage member 1 has an arc-shaped plate structure with an opening facing upward.

[0067] When the warp knitted fabric is not placed on the storage piece 1, there is a distance between the storage piece 1 in a horizontal state and the first support piece 4; when the warp knitted fabric is placed on the storage piece 1, the storage piece 1 is bent and deformed downward by the gravity of the warp knitted fabric, and can fit against the end face of the arc-shaped plate structure of the first support piece 4.

[0068] The implementation principle of a placement rack for warp knitted fabrics in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0069] After the warp knitted fabric is placed on the storage piece 1, the storage piece 1 will be bent and deformed downward by the gravity of the warp knitted fabric, so that the warp knitted fabric gathers toward the center in the storage space 3, and the first support member 4 can support the storage piece 1 and the warp knitted fabric placed on the storage piece 1 to extend the service life of the storage piece 1.

[0070] Embodiment 4:

[0071] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the storage element 1 and the frame 2.

[0072] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The storage element 1 is a rectangular sheet structure that can be bent freely. The storage element 1 has no leakage holes 12 , and the storage surface 11 is smooth, which makes it convenient for staff to clean impurities on the storage surface 11 .

[0073] A winding member 5 is rotatably connected to the frame 2 . The winding member 5 is a cylindrical structure as a whole. The winding member 5 is installed on one side of the frame 2 in the width direction. The rotation axis of the winding member 5 coincides with its own axis and is parallel to the length direction of the frame 2 .

[0074] One end of the storage element 1 in the width direction is fixedly connected to a position at the top of the frame 2 in the width direction away from the winding member 5, and the other end of the storage element 1 in the width direction is fixedly connected to the winding member 5 and can be wound on the winding member 5; the storage element 1 can be wound or extended by controlling the rotation of the winding member 5.

[0075] The frame 2 is also provided with an elastic member 6, the two ends of which are respectively fixedly connected to the winding member 5 and the frame 2, and the elastic member 6 has a tendency to drive the winding member 5 to rotate, so that the storage member 1 is wound on the winding member 5 as much as possible until the extended portion of the storage member 1 is in a horizontal position. In this embodiment, the elastic member 6 is preferably a torsion spring, which is a common prior art, so it is not described here, and only its installation position is shown in the drawings.

[0076] When the warp knitted fabric is not placed on the storage piece 1, the elastic piece 6 can drive the winding piece 5 to rotate to the extreme position and maintain it, and at this time, the extended part of the storage piece 1 can maintain a horizontal position.

[0077] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 When the warp knitted fabric is placed on the storage piece 1, the storage piece 1 will be extended and bent downward due to the gravity of the warp knitted fabric. At this time, the winding member 5 will overcome the force of the elastic member 6 and rotate to make the part of the storage piece 1 originally rolled up on the winding member 5 extend out, and at this time the warp knitted fabric can be gathered toward the center in the storage space 3 to improve the position stability of the warp knitted fabric after being placed on the storage piece 1.

[0078] Furthermore, in order to further improve the position stability of the warp knitted fabric after being placed on the storage element 1 and reduce the probability of the warp knitted fabric partially falling to the ground after being spread out, two baffles 8 are fixedly mounted on the frame 2.

[0079] The baffle 8 is a rectangular plate-shaped structure, and two baffles 8 are respectively installed at both ends of the frame 2 in the length direction and are respectively located on both sides of the length direction of the storage piece 1. At this time, the baffle 8 can prevent the warp knitted fabric placed on the storage piece 1 from sliding off from both sides of the length direction of the storage piece 1.

[0080] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 Furthermore, in order to prevent the storage piece 1 from excessively extending and bending due to the gravity of the warp knitted fabric, causing damage or breakage of the storage piece 1, and to extend the service life of the storage piece 1, the frame 2 also includes a second support member 7 for supporting the storage piece 1 and the warp knitted fabric placed on the storage piece 1.

[0081] The second support member 7 is located below the storage member 1 , and one end of the second support member 7 close to the storage member 1 has an arc-shaped plate structure with an opening facing upward.

[0082] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8 When the warp knitted fabric is not placed on the storage piece 1, there is a distance between the horizontal part of the storage piece 1 and the second support piece 7; when the warp knitted fabric is placed on the storage piece 1, the storage piece 1 is stretched out by the gravity of the warp knitted fabric and bent downward, and can fit against the end surface of the arc-shaped plate structure of the second support piece 7.

[0083] The implementation principle of a placement rack for warp knitted fabrics in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0084] After the warp knitted fabric is placed on the storage piece 1, the storage piece 1 will be affected by the gravity of the warp knitted fabric, overcome the force of the elastic member 6, extend from the winding member 5 and bend downward, so that the warp knitted fabric gathers toward the center in the storage space 3, and the second support member 7 can support the storage piece 1 and the warp knitted fabric placed on the storage piece 1 to extend the service life of the storage piece 1; at the same time, the baffle 8 can prevent the warp knitted fabric on the storage piece 1 from sliding off, effectively improving the position stability of the warp knitted fabric after placement.

[0085] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
