[0002] Fabrics need to be finished in the final stage of production to improve their appearance and feel and enhance their wearing performance. This process includes softening. Users can improve the feel of the fabric by placing it in a water tank filled with softener. At the same time, the softener can also cool the fabric, killing two birds with one stone.

[0003] However, when the fabric is taken out of the water tank, the fabric will absorb a large amount of softener, and the user needs to dry the fabric again, which increases the processing steps of the fabric and also leads to a large amount of softener waste, increasing processing costs.

[0004] Therefore, a fabric softening and cooling mechanism is proposed to solve some problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art. Utility Model Content
