Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of digital printing equipment, and more specifically relates to a passive micro-tension control system. Background Art
[0002] In digital printing of fabrics, the fabrics need to be tensioned to a certain extent. However, for highly elastic fabrics, even a little tension will cause the fabric to be stretched and deformed, thereby affecting the surface printing quality. Therefore, for highly elastic fabrics, an additional tension mechanism is generally not used. Instead, the fabric is allowed to droop naturally before being conveyed to the printing mechanism to eliminate the tension on the fabric. The height of the bottom of the drooping fabric is used to judge the tension of the fabric during conveyance. The existing patent with patent number CN219173765U discloses a tension-free, fully flexible edge-to-edge cloth placement system.
[0003] However, when the cloth-laying system in the above-mentioned existing patent is laying and conveying ultra-high elastic fabrics (such as spandex fabrics), the stretching caused by its own sagging will still have a certain impact on the fabric. At the same time, the fabric will also be easily stretched when it is pulled out from the storage rack.
[0004] Therefore, the tension system needs to be further improved for the transportation of ultra-high elastic fabrics. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a passive micro-tension control system to achieve tension control of ultra-high elastic fabrics and ensure the printing quality of the fabrics.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a passive micro-tension control system, comprising a feeding bracket, a receiving hopper is provided on the feeding bracket, a weighing sensor is provided between the bottom of the receiving hopper and the feeding bracket, and the inner wall of the receiving hopper is smooth.
[0007] Furthermore, the receiving hopper includes an arc-shaped hopper portion and baffles located on both sides of the hopper portion, the baffles on both sides form an inclined opening, wherein the width of the baffle on one side is greater than that of the baffle on the other side, the side with the larger baffle width is the feed side, and the side with the smaller baffle width is the discharge side.
[0008] Furthermore, end plates are provided at both ends of the bucket, and a plurality of weight-reducing holes are provided on the end plates.
[0009] Furthermore, a guide roller is provided on the feeding bracket, and the guide roller is located above the feeding side.
[0010] Furthermore, two wire-separating rollers and a deviation-correcting roller are provided on the feeding bracket, and the wire-separating roller and the deviation-correcting roller are both located above the guide roller. The fabric crosses around the two wire-separating rollers and then around the deviation-correcting roller.
[0011] Furthermore, a support frame is provided below the receiving hopper, and the support frame is connected to a weighing sensor.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the present invention is that a certain weight of the conveyed fabric is first stored in the receiving hopper. During printing, the fabric enters from the feed side of the receiving hopper while being taken out from the discharge side of the receiving hopper, and the weight of the fabric in the receiving hopper is always maintained within the setting range of the weighing sensor. Moreover, any change in the tension on the fabric on either the feed side or the discharge side will affect the weight of the fabric in the receiving hopper, thereby changing the conveying speed of the fabric in the entire fabric conveying mechanism through the weighing sensor, and realizing tension control of ultra-high elastic fabric. In addition, the fabric after entering the receiving hopper can release the tension on the fabric like natural drooping, thereby ensuring the printing quality of the fabric.
