Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of textile testing, and in particular relates to a textile washing and shrinkage cycle testing box. Background Art

[0002] The Textile Wash and Shrinkage Cycle Test Chamber is a specialized device used to evaluate the shrinkage of textiles during the washing process. With the rapid development of the textile industry, the quality requirements for textiles are becoming increasingly stringent, especially in terms of washability. Textiles undergo multiple washes in daily use, and their dimensional stability directly impacts the consumer experience and the market competitiveness of products. Therefore, the Textile Wash and Shrinkage Cycle Test Chamber has become an indispensable tool in textile R&D, production, and quality testing.

[0003] While traditional textile wash and shrinkage cycle test chambers meet basic testing requirements to a certain extent, they still have some significant drawbacks in practical applications: The traditional drum design often results in uneven water flow distribution within the drum, with strong water flow in some areas and weak water flow in others. This uneven water flow distribution affects the washing effect and leads to inaccurate test results. During the washing process, textiles tend to tangle together, forming clumps, which affects shrinkage testing. After the test, poor drainage can cause a large amount of water to remain in the chamber, affecting the next test. During the washing process, textiles are subjected to excessive mechanical stress, resulting in damage or deformation. Utility Model Content

[0065] Water supply system:

[0066] Water pump: The water supply system includes a water pump and multiple nozzles. The water pump is installed outside the tank and connected to the nozzles inside the tank through pipes. The nozzles are evenly distributed inside the drum and fixed by threads or snaps.

[0067] Physical principle: The water pump delivers the washing water to the nozzle through the pipe. The nozzle sprays the water evenly, ensuring the uniform distribution of the water flow and improving the washing effect.

[0068] Drainage system:

[0069] Filter: The drainage system includes a drain pipe and a filter. The filter is installed at the drain hole and connected by a flange or thread. The filter is used to filter out fibers and impurities generated during the washing process to prevent clogging of the drainage system.
