Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fabric embossing, and in particular relates to an embossing device for artificial silk fabric. Background Art

[0002] Artificial silk is made from polyester filaments that have undergone a special process and finishing process, resulting in a silk-like appearance, sheen, and feel. This is achieved by alkali-reducing polyester filaments to make them finer and softer, resembling the feel of real silk. The finishing process also allows the fibers to produce a chiming sound when rubbed against each other. As time goes by, embossing patterns on fabrics is often used to enhance their texture, aesthetics, and uniqueness, meeting the diverse needs of consumers.

[0003] The working principle of embossing is the same as that of calendering. The difference is that the heating roller of calendering is a highly polished smooth metal roller, while the heating roller of embossing (flower roller) is an uneven metal roller engraved with patterns. During operation, the fabric is pressed between the flower roller and the supporting roller. The pattern on the flower roller is printed on the fabric after being pressed by temperature and pressure. However, in the existing embossing equipment, the distance between the flower roller and the supporting roller is fixed and cannot be adjusted, so that it can only perform the embossing process on a single thickness of simulated silk fabric, making it less practical and cannot be used in multiple scenarios, and cannot improve production efficiency.
