Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of fabric weaving, and particularly relates to a broken wire cleaning device for a textile device. Background Art

[0002] During the rapid operation of a textile device in the process of fabric weaving, broken wires are attached to the surface of the fabric during the weaving process. If the broken wires on the fabric surface are not cleaned in time, the broken wires may enter the interior of the textile device, wind around the fabric winding roller or the bearing components on the textile device, affecting the fabric winding effect and the maintenance of the textile device. Among them, Chinese Patent No.: CN202123380907.X discloses a broken wire cleaning device for a textile device, including an air inlet frame, and further including a top frame and a collection frame. The top frame is installed at the top of the air inlet frame, and collection frames are installed on both sides of the air inlet frame. The inner edge of the top frame is provided with a top plate, and circular holes are constructed at equal intervals on the top of the top plate, and a suction fan is installed on the inner edge of the circular holes; a lead screw arranged in parallel is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the air inlet frame, a sliding block is threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the lead screw, a brush plate is installed on the top of the sliding block, a filter screen is installed on the top of the air inlet frame, the top of the brush plate abuts against the bottom of the filter screen, and a speed reduction motor is installed on the outer wall of the air inlet frame, and the output shaft of the speed reduction motor is fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw. There is no need for manual cleaning of the filter screen, which avoids the blockage of the filter screen and affects the cleaning efficiency, and is convenient for centralized treatment of the collected broken wires and cotton wool, etc., and is relatively convenient to use.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventor found the following problems: The above device improves the cleaning efficiency and effect of the broken wires collected on the filter screen, but in the daily use process, when encountering short broken wires or dust and sundries, due to their light weight, when the brush plate brushes them up, they will not fall onto the arc-shaped guide plate due to the suction of the suction fan and will be re-adsorbed on the filter screen, thus affecting the cleaning effect. If the suction fan is turned off for cleaning, the production efficiency of the textile device will be reduced at this time.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the existing structure and deficiencies are studied and improved to provide a broken wire cleaning device for a textile device, with the expectation of achieving a more practical value. Summary of the Utility Model

On the side wall of the opening close to the center of the connecting plate is installed a cleaning mechanism. At the center position of the connecting plate is also installed a driving mechanism.

[0007] Further, on one side of the body is fixedly mounted a motor. The output end of the motor penetrates through one side wall of the body, and the end of the output end of the motor located inside the body is fixedly connected to the first filter screen.

[0008] Further, the two sides of the first filter screen away from the motor are of an arc-shaped convex structure. On the inner walls of the two sides of the body away from the motor are provided arc-shaped grooves adapted to the arc-shaped convex structure. The arc-shaped convex structure on the motor and the arc-shaped grooves on the body are both concentric circles with the rotation axis of the first filter screen as the center.

[0009] Further, on both sides of the end of the dust collection frame away from the connecting block are provided limit blocks. On the inner walls of both sides of the air outlet channel are provided limit grooves, and the limit blocks on both sides of the dust collection frame respectively penetrate into the limit grooves on both sides of the air outlet channel. On the top of the dust collection frame is installed a second filter screen.

[0010] Further, on the top of the two air outlet channels are both installed exhaust fans.

[0011] Further, the driving mechanism includes a base installed at the center position on the top of the connecting plate. On the top of the base is installed a double-shaft motor. On both output ends of the double-shaft motor are installed threaded rods. The pair of threaded rods are threadedly connected to the connecting block, and the thread directions on the two threaded rods are opposite. The ends of the pair of threaded rods away from the output ends of the double-shaft motor are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the air outlet channel.

[0012] Further, the cleaning mechanism includes a mounting seat. The middle part of the mounting seat is of a hollow design. At the end of the mounting seat away from the double-shaft motor is installed an L-shaped corner block. On the surfaces on both sides of the bending part of the L-shaped corner block of the mounting seat are installed rotating bases. The L-shaped corner block is rotatably connected to the rotating bases. At the end of the longer end of the L-shaped corner block is installed a brush. On both sides of the other end of the L-shaped corner block are installed clamping blocks, and the sum of the thicknesses of the L-shaped corner block and the mounting seat is less than the thickness of the connecting plate.

[0013] Further, the width of the L-shaped corner block is the same as the inner width of the dust collection frame, the size of the clamping block is the same as the thickness of the two side frames of the dust collection frame, and a torsion spring is installed between the connecting part of the L-shaped corner block and the rotating base.

[0014] Further, a dust collection box is slidably installed between the bottom of the connecting plate and the top of the machine body, and the length of the top of the dust collection box is the same as the length of the connecting plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1.

At this time, with the movement of the air flow from the air inlet to the air outlet channel, the broken wires on the first filter screen can be driven by the air flow to the air outlet channel, and the dust collection box at the air outlet channel and the second filter screen installed inside it are used for collection. This process can realize the cleaning and collection of the broken wires on the first filter screen without shutting down the machine, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the broken wires on the first filter screen, keeping it in good filtering effect, and not affecting the working efficiency of the broken wire cleaning device.

[0017] 2. Through the combined use of the clamping block, L-shaped corner block, dust collection frame, rotating base, brush and dust collection box, when the dust collection frame is pulled out from the air outlet channel, the two side frames of the dust collection frame press on the clamping block, so that the clamping block can be displaced, and drive the connected L-shaped corner block to move around the rotating base. Finally, the brush installed at the end of the L-shaped corner block is completely in contact with the second filter screen, and the broken wires collected on the surface of the second filter screen will fall into the dust collection box with the brushing of the brush and the influence of gravity, which is convenient for the next time to insert the dust collection frame into the air outlet channel to collect the broken wires on the surface of the first filter screen, ensuring the continuous broken wire cleaning ability of the device.

[0029] Example:

[0030] As shown in Attach Figure 1 ment Figure 6 to Attach

[0031] A thread break cleaning device for a textile equipment, comprising a pair of mounting brackets 1. On the opposite sides of the pair of mounting brackets 1, a machine body 2 is fixedly installed. The machine body 2 is of a cavity structure and has an air inlet at the bottom. Inside the machine body 2, a first filter screen 3 is rotatably connected. On the top of the machine body 2, two air outlet channels 4 are symmetrically opened. On the opposite sides of the two air outlet channels 4, slots 5 are opened. A dust collection frame 6 is installed in the slot 5. The dust collection frame 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the air outlet channel 4. On the opposite side end face of the dust collection frame 6, a connecting block 7 is installed. On the opposite sides of the pair of air outlet channels 4, a connecting plate 8 is also installed. The connecting plate 8 is located below the dust collection frame 6. On the top of the connecting plate 8, openings 9 are provided near the positions close to the two air outlet channels 4. On the side wall of the opening 9 close to the center of the connecting plate 8, a cleaning mechanism is installed. At the center position of the connecting plate 8, a driving mechanism is also installed.

[0032] Among them, a motor 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the machine body 2. The output end of the motor 10 penetrates through one side wall of the machine body 2, and the end of the output end of the motor 10 located inside the machine body 2 is fixedly connected to the first filter screen 3. By the combined use of the motor 10 and the first filter screen 3, it can be realized that the motor 10 drives the first filter screen 3 to rotate rapidly, thus facilitating the operator to control the rotation of the first filter screen 3.

[0033] Among them, the two sides of the first filter screen 3 away from the motor 10 are of an arc-shaped convex structure. Arc-shaped grooves adapted to the arc-shaped convex structure are opened on the inner walls of the two sides of the machine body 2 away from the motor 10. The arc-shaped convex structure on the motor 10 and the arc-shaped grooves on the machine body 2 are concentric circles with the rotation axis of the first filter screen 3 as the center. By setting the two sides of the first filter screen 3 as an arc-shaped convex structure and opening arc-shaped grooves adapted to it on the inner wall of the machine body 2, the contact part between the two can maintain good tightness, preventing broken threads or sundries from passing through the joint between the two and affecting the filtering effect. And by restricting the arc-shaped grooves and the arc-shaped convex structure to be concentric circles with the rotation axis of the first filter screen 3 as the center, the two can always have good contact when the first filter screen 3 rotates, and the contact part will not affect the rotation of the first filter screen 3.

[0034] Among them, limiting blocks 11 are arranged on both sides of one end of the dust collection frame 6 away from the connecting block 7. Limiting grooves are arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the air outlet channel 4, and the limiting blocks 11 on both sides of the dust collection frame 6 are respectively inserted into the limiting grooves on both sides of the air outlet channel 4. Through the cooperation of the limiting block 11, the dust collection frame 6 and the limiting groove, when the dust collection frame 6 is pulled out of the air outlet channel 4, the dust collection frame 6 is restricted by the limiting block 11 and will not completely come out of the air outlet channel 4. And when the limiting block 11 is in contact with the inner wall of the air outlet, the integrity of the air outlet channel 4 can be ensured, preventing air leakage and causing a decrease in negative pressure inside the machine body 2, affecting the adsorption force of the device, and further affecting the effect of the device in removing broken wires. A second filter screen 12 is installed on the top of the dust collection frame 6. By installing the second filter screen 12 on the top of the dust collection frame 6, when the dust collection frame 6 is inserted into the air outlet channel 4, the first filter screen 3 can be rotated 180 degrees by the driving motor 10, so that the side of the first filter screen 3 that adsorbs broken wires is turned upwards. At this time, as the air flow moves from the bottom air inlet to the top air outlet channel 4, the broken wires above the first filter screen 3 can be driven by the air flow to the air outlet channel 4, and the broken wires are collected by the dust collection box 22 and the second filter screen 12 at the air outlet channel 4. In this process, the broken wires on the first filter screen 3 can be cleaned and subsequently collected without shutting down the machine, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the broken wires on the first filter screen 3 and not affecting the working efficiency of the broken wire cleaning device.

[0035] Among them, exhaust fans 13 are installed on the tops of the two air outlet channels 4. By installing the exhaust fans 13 on the tops of the air outlet channels 4, the exhaust fans 13 rotate to continuously extract the air inside the machine body 2 outwards, thereby forming a negative pressure inside the machine body 2, and then adsorbing the broken wires passing through the bottom air inlet of the machine body 2 and finally adsorbing them on the first filter screen 3 inside the machine body 2.

[0036] Among them, the driving mechanism includes a base 14 installed at the center of the top of the connecting plate 8. A dual-axis motor 15 is installed on the top of the base 14. Threaded rods 16 are installed at the output ends on both sides of the dual-axis motor 15. A pair of the threaded rods 16 are threadedly connected to the connecting block 7, and the thread directions of the two threaded rods 16 are opposite. One ends of the pair of threaded rods 16 away from the output ends of the dual-axis motor 15 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the air outlet channel 4. Through the cooperation of the dual-axis motor 15, the threaded rods 16 and the connecting block 7, by installing the threaded rods 16 with different thread directions at both ends of the dual-axis motor 15, it is possible to control the two dust collection frames 6 only by driving the dual-axis motor 15, so as to insert the dust collection frame 6 into the air outlet channel 4 from the outside or pull it out of the air outlet channel 4, which facilitates the operator to simultaneously control the two dust collection frames 6 to collect the broken wires inside the machine body 2.

[0037] Among them, the cleaning mechanism includes a mounting base 17. The middle part of the mounting base 17 is designed with a hollow. One end of the mounting base 17 away from the dual-axis motor 15 is installed with an L-shaped angle block 18. The mounting base 17 is installed with rotating bases 20 on the surfaces on both sides of the bending part of the L-shaped angle block 18. The L-shaped angle block 18 is rotatably connected to the rotating bases 20. One end of the longer part of the L-shaped angle block 18 is installed with a brush 19. On both sides of the other end of the L-shaped angle block 18, there are installed clamping blocks 21. And the sum of the thicknesses of the L-shaped angle block 18 and the mounting base 17 is less than the thickness of the connecting plate 8. Through the combined use of the mounting base 17, the L-shaped angle block 18, the rotating bases 20, the brush 19 and the clamping blocks 21, pressing the clamping blocks 21 can make the L-shaped angle block 18 move around the rotating bases 20, and the end with the brush 19 installed will tilt up, so as to clean the broken wires on the second filter screen 12.

[0038] Among them, the width of the L-shaped angle block 18 is the same as the inner width of the dust collection frame 6, and the size of the clamping block 21 is the same as the thickness of the two side frames of the dust collection frame 6. By restricting the width of the L-shaped angle block 18 and the size of the clamping block 21, when the dust collection frame 6 is pulled out from the air outlet channel 4, the two side frames of the dust collection frame 6 press on the clamping blocks 21, so that the clamping blocks 21 can be displaced. Because there is a gap between the L-shaped angle block 18 and the bottom of the dust collection frame 6, the L-shaped angle block 18 moves around the rotating bases 20 driven by the clamping blocks 21. As the dust collection frame 6 continues to move, the L-shaped angle block 18 gradually rotates 90 degrees around the rotating bases 20. At this time, the brush 19 installed at one end of the L-shaped angle block 18 is completely in contact with the second filter screen 12, and cleans the broken wires collected on the surface of the second filter screen 12. The broken wires collected on the surface of the second filter screen 12 will fall from the surface of the second filter screen 12 under the brushing of the brush 19 and the influence of gravity, so as to clean the broken wires on the second filter screen 12, and then it is convenient to plug the dust collection frame 6 into the air outlet channel 4 again to collect and process the broken wires on the first filter screen 3.

[0039] Among them, a dust collection box 22 is slidably installed between the bottom of the connecting plate 8 and the top of the machine body 2, and the length of the top of the dust collection box 22 is the same as the length of the connecting plate 8. By installing the dust collection box 22 below the connecting plate 8, the broken wires falling from the dust collection frame 6 can be collected. When a certain amount of broken wires are collected, the operator can pull out the dust collection box 22 to uniformly process the collected broken wires.

[0040] The specific usage method and function of this embodiment:

[0041] Before the installation and use of the present utility model, the staff needs to check the internal components or structures of the device. After the inspection is correct, it can be used normally. First, install the broken wire cleaning device on the textile device to be operated, and pass the fabric through below the air inlet of the machine body 2. Then, through the external controller, start the two exhaust fans 13 installed above the air outlet channel 4 to work. Then start the textile device to work, and the broken wires on the fabric surface can be cleaned. After working for a period of time, according to the adsorption situation of the broken wires on the first filter screen 3, control the double-shaft motor 15 to work, send the two dust collection frames 6 into the air outlet channel 4, and then control the motor 10 to drive the first filter screen 3 to flip, and use the air flow of the exhaust fan 13 to suck the broken wires collected on the first filter screen 3 into the dust collection frame 6. When the broken wires on the first filter screen 3 are cleaned up, control the double-shaft motor 15 to drive the two dust collection frames 6 to be pulled out from the air outlet channel 4, so that the broken wires in the dust collection frame 6 fall into the dust collection box 22. Subsequently, the above operations can be repeated to clean the broken wires on the first filter screen 3. When the broken wires in the dust collection box 22 are collected full, pull out the dust collection box 22 to uniformly process the broken wires collected inside. The device can realize the rapid cleaning of the filter screen, thus ensuring that the device always has good broken wire cleaning ability, and can achieve good cleaning effect without closing the broken wire cleaning device, thereby ensuring the working efficiency of the device.
