Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cloth processing equipment, in particular to an air softening machine for flocked cloth. Background Art

[0002] In the textile and fabric processing industries, flocked fabrics are highly sought after for their unique texture and wide range of applications. To enhance the softness and comfort of flocked fabrics, air softeners are often used during their production. These machines mechanically beat the flocked fabric within a closed chamber, effectively removing excess lint from the surface. The airflow generated by the fan system also absorbs the lint and moisture, ensuring the quality of the flocked fabric and ensuring smooth subsequent processing.

[0003] However, during actual use of the air softener, a significant problem gradually emerged: as the moisture generated during the process mixes with the fluff, it is sucked into the fan and discharged through the duct, where the fluff tends to adhere to and accumulate on the duct's inner wall. This attached fluff not only affects the fan's efficiency and increases energy consumption, but can also cause duct blockage, disrupting the smooth operation of the entire production line. Furthermore, the long-term accumulation of fluff can become a breeding ground for bacteria, posing a potential threat to the production environment and product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that the existing air softener mentioned in the above background technology is prone to adhesion and accumulation of fluff on the inner wall of the pipe during use. These attached fluffs not only affect the working efficiency of the fan and increase energy consumption, but may also become a breeding ground for bacteria, posing a potential threat to the production environment and product quality.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An air softener for flocked cloth includes a machine body, an air suction hood and a cleaning piece.

[0029] There are two cleaning parts 3, which are connected to each other through a transmission part 2 4. The two cleaning parts 3 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the air inlet pipe 21. When the two cleaning parts 3 are in operation, the cleaning rings 31 on the two cleaning parts 3 move toward the air inlet pipe 21. The two cleaning parts 3 can fully remove the fluff attached to the inner wall of the pipe 2.

[0030] The cleaning part 3 also includes a pull rope 34, a reel 1 37 and a reel 2 38. A number of connecting rods 32 are provided on the inner side of the cleaning circle 31. The end of the connecting rod 32 away from the cleaning circle 31 is provided with a connecting end 33 on the same axis as the cleaning circle 31. There are two connecting ends 33, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cleaning circle 31. A pull rope 34 is connected to the two connecting ends 33. The ends of the two pull ropes 34 away from the connecting ends 33 are respectively connected to reel 1 37 and reel 2 38. The cleaning circle 31 can be pulled to move by the pull rope 34, and the moving cleaning circle 31 can clean the fluff attached to the inner wall of the pipe 2.

[0031] A transmission member 311 is provided on reel 1 37, and a rotating rod 39 is provided on reel 2 38. Reel 1 37 is connected to reel 2 38 through transmission member 1 311. A support plate 310 is provided on the rotating rod 39. A fixed plate is installed under the support plate 310, and the fixed plate is connected to the pipeline 2. Through transmission member 1 311, reel 1 37 can synchronously drive reel 2 38 to rotate when it rotates. Transmission member 1 311 can be composed of two pulleys and a synchronous belt when in use. The synchronous belt is sleeved on the two pulleys, and the two pulleys are respectively connected to reel 1 37 and reel 2 38.

[0032] A protective end 112 is provided in the suction hood 11, and a protective groove 113 is provided in the protective end 112. The cleaning ring 31 is in the protective groove 113. A through hole is provided on the protective end 112 for the pull rope 34 to pass through. The cleaning ring 31 is reset and moved to the protective groove 113 after each cleaning.
