Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fabric processing, in particular to a fabric softening and heating mechanism. Background Art

[0002] When softening the fabric, it is necessary to wash it first, and then apply softener on the surface of the fabric. After the softener is applied, the fabric needs to be dried to promote the penetration and absorption of the softener and make the fabric soft and comfortable. The drying is often carried out by hot air drying. The fabric passes through the conveyor roller, and the blower blows out hot air to dry the fabric, which promotes the penetration of the softener into the fabric, thereby softening the fabric.

[0003] When the fabric is heated during the softening process, the fabric is passed through a conveying roller, which conveys the fabric. During the conveying process, a blower head blows out hot air to heat the fabric so that the fabric can fully absorb the softener. However, during the treatment process, the blower head only heats the fabric from one side, and it takes a long time for the fabric to fully absorb the softener. The softening efficiency of the fabric needs to be improved. Therefore, the present application provides a fabric softening heating mechanism to meet the needs. Utility Model Content

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a fabric softening and heating mechanism, including a housing 1, wherein a conveying roller for conveying the fabric is arranged inside the housing 1, and the conveying state of the fabric is as follows Figure 3 As shown, it also includes:

[0032] The upper air blowing head 2 is rotatably connected in the shell body 1, and the shell body 1 is also rotatably connected with the lower air blowing head 3, which is located obliquely below the upper air blowing head 2. The upper air blowing head 2 and the lower air blowing head 3 blow hot air for softening and heating the fabric. The upper air blowing head 2 and the lower air blowing head 3 are provided with hot air by a hot air blower. The upper air blowing head 2 and the lower air blowing head 3 blow toward the fabric in a horizontal state. The upper air blowing head 2 and the lower air blowing head 3 simultaneously blow hot air to achieve simultaneous heating treatment on both sides of the fabric, shorten the fabric absorption softener time, and make the fabric absorb the softener more fully, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the fabric;

[0033] The adjusting component 4 includes a shield 47 fixed to the side of the housing 1 and a driving member 46 fixed to the side of the shield 47. The driving member 46 is an electric push rod. The telescopic end of the driving member 46 movably penetrates the shield 47 and is fixed with a connecting rod 45. The upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 are respectively fixed to the side of the connecting rod 45. The connecting rod 45 is used to connect and fix the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 to the telescopic end of the driving member 46. The upper end of the upper blowing head 2 is fixed with an upper gear 41 through a rotating shaft, and the upper gear 41 is meshed with the upper rack 42. The end of the lower blowing head 3 is fixed with a lower gear 43 through a circular shaft. The lower gear 43 is meshed with the upper rack 42. The lower rack 44 is engaged, and the telescopic end of the driving member 46 is shortened to drive the connecting rod 45 to move leftward. The connecting rod 45 drives the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 to move leftward. The upper rack 42 drives the upper gear 41 to rotate counterclockwise, and the lower rack 44 drives the lower gear 43 to rotate counterclockwise. When the upper gear 41 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the air outlet of the upper blowing head 2 to rotate leftward, increasing the blowing area for the fabric. When the lower gear 43 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the air outlet of the lower blowing head 3 to rotate rightward, increasing the blowing area for the fabric. The increase in the blowing area improves the heating efficiency for thicker fabrics, thereby adapting to the use of thicker fabrics.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the opposite surfaces of the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 are fixed with reinforcing ribs 48, and the reinforcing ribs 48 are fixed to the side surfaces of the connecting rod 45. The reinforcing ribs 48 are used to improve the connection strength between the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 and the connecting rod 45.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the telescopic end of the driving member 46 is fixed at the middle position of the side of the connecting rod 45, ensuring that the driving member 46 smoothly drives the connecting rod 45 to move, so that the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 are evenly stressed, making the movement of the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 smoother.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the central axis of the upper rack 42 is parallel to the central axis of the lower rack 44, the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 are parallel to each other, and the upper rack 42 is located below the upper gear 41, and the lower rack 44 is located below the lower gear 43. When the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 move at the same time, they respectively drive the upper gear 41 and the lower gear 43 to rotate in the same direction.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotation angle range of the upper blowing head 2 and the lower blowing head 3 is zero to fifteen degrees. By changing the rotation angle of the upper blowing head 2 and the lower blowing head 3, the area on which the hot air acts on the fabric is changed, thereby adapting to the use of fabrics of different thicknesses.

[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, guide components 5 are provided on the sides of the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44. The guide components 5 are used to guide the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 when they move. The upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 are guided by the guide components 5 when they move, so that the movement of the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 is smoother.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide assembly 5 includes a guide rail 52 fixed to the side of the shell 1, and guide bars 51 are fixed to the sides of the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44. The guide bar 51 is slidably connected in the guide rail 52. When the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 move, the guide bar 51 is driven to move along the inner wall of the guide rail 52. The guide rail 52 and the guide bar 51 guide the movement of the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44, so that the movement of the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 is more stable and smooth.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide bar 51 is in an isosceles trapezoidal shape, and the shape of the guide rail 52 is adapted to the shape of the guide bar 51, preventing the guide bar 51 from being separated from the guide rail 52 in the front-to-back direction, thereby ensuring the guiding ability of the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44.

[0041] Working principle: After the softener is coated on the fabric, the conveying roller in the housing 1 conveys the fabric. During the conveying process, the upper blowing head 2 and the lower blowing head 3 blow hot air to heat the fabric, so that the fabric can fully absorb the softener and soften the fabric.

[0042] When heating thicker fabrics, the driving member 46 can be started, and the telescopic end of the driving member 46 is shortened to drive the connecting rod 45 to move leftward, and the connecting rod 45 drives the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 to move leftward, and the upper rack 42 drives the upper gear 41 to rotate counterclockwise, and the lower rack 44 drives the lower gear 43 to rotate counterclockwise. When the upper gear 41 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the air outlet of the upper blowing head 2 to rotate leftward, thereby increasing the blowing area for the fabrics, and when the lower gear 43 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the air outlet of the lower blowing head 3 to rotate rightward, thereby increasing the blowing area for the fabrics. The heating efficiency of thicker fabrics is improved by increasing the blowing area, thereby adapting to the use of thicker fabrics, and adapting to the use of fabrics of different thicknesses by changing the blowing area, thereby adapting to different usage requirements;

[0043] When the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 move, they drive the guide bar 51 to move along the inner wall of the guide rail 52. The guide rail 52 and the guide bar 51 guide the movement of the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44, so that the movement of the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 is more stable and smooth. When the hot air blown out of the upper blowing head 2 and the lower blowing head 3 needs to be blown vertically toward the fabric, the telescopic end of the driving member 46 is extended to drive the connecting bar to move right, so that the connecting bar drives the upper rack 42 and the lower rack 44 to move right, and the upper gear 41 and the lower gear 43 rotate clockwise. When the telescopic end of the driving member 46 is extended to the longest, the hot air blown out of the upper blowing head 2 and the lower blowing head 3 can be blown vertically toward the fabric.

[0044] The present invention covers any substitution, modification, equivalent method and scheme made on the essence and scope of the present invention. In order to make the public have a thorough understanding of the present invention, the specific details are described in detail in the above preferred embodiments of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can fully understand the present invention without the description of these details.

[0045] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
