AI Technical Summary
Existing rubber band shrinking machines, which use electric heating wires or flames to heat the product, are prone to burning it and cannot heat the inside of the product evenly, resulting in poor shrinking effect.
A steam box device is used to penetrate the product with high-temperature steam and heat it through steam jet holes. Combined with mechanical transportation and testing mechanisms, this ensures uniform shrinkage and shaping.
This achieves more uniform and stable high-temperature shrinkage on the product surface, reduces labor costs, ensures product consistency, and avoids product damage.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the fields of processing and shaping, shrinkage, and in particular to a steam box device. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life, many people enjoy wearing sportswear and casual clothing, such as elastic-waisted pants. However, elastic bands contain spandex, which is prone to shrinkage. This can cause the waistband to increase or decrease significantly after washing, making the garment unwearable and requiring alteration or disposal. Therefore, an elastic band shrinking machine is needed. An elastic band shrinking machine is a machine that uses the principle of heat shrinkage to shorten elastic bands. It heats and shrinks the elastic band, making it more compact and easier to use. Elastic band shrinking machines typically use heating wires or flames to heat the elastic band to the desired length.
[0003] Previously, similar equipment products used electric heating plates for heating, according to authorization announcement numbers (CN 217373545 U, CN106891512A). During the heating process of the elastic band, if the temperature is too high, the product is easily burned; if the temperature is too low, the product will not achieve the desired effect. The heat from the heating plate only heats the surface of the product and cannot penetrate the product to heat and shape it.
[0004] To address this, a steam box device is proposed that uses high-temperature steam to replace heating wires or flames for heating. The high-temperature steam will not damage the product, and it ensures that every surface and position of the product can achieve a high-temperature shaping effect. Utility Model Content

[0025] according to Figures 1-4 As shown:
[0026] A steam box device, comprising:
[0027] The frame 1 and the material guiding mechanism 2 located on the frame 1 are provided. The frame 1 has a built-in feeding channel 400. The feeding channel 400 has an input end 4 and an output end 5 on both sides. The material guiding mechanism 2 is located on one side of the input end 4. The feeding channel 400 is located inside the steam heating mechanism 6. The product is guided to the input end 4 by the material guiding mechanism 2, and after being heated and shrunk in the steam heating mechanism 6, it is discharged from the output end 5. In a preferred embodiment, the feeding channel 400 is designed vertically, and the input end 4 and the output end 5 are arranged from top to bottom.
[0028] Specifically, the steam heating mechanism 6 is fixed in the accommodating cavity 100 of the frame 1 and is connected to steam through the steam input end 7. In this structure, the steam heating mechanism 6 is fixed in the accommodating cavity 100 by bolts. This installation mode is a preferred embodiment. The steam input end 7 is connected to the steam generation source and introduces steam into the steam heating mechanism 6. As shown in the figure, the steam input end 7 passes through the frame 1 and is connected to the steam heating mechanism 6.
[0029] The steam heating mechanism 6 consists of a steam box 61 and a cover plate 62, which are fitted together in the accommodating cavity 100. The surface of the steam box 61 is provided with several steam jet holes 300 from top to bottom. The cover plate 62 is located on one side of the steam jet holes 300 and, together with the steam box 61, forms a feeding channel 400. The product passes through the steam jet holes in sequence and is penetrated by steam, resulting in the product being heated and shrinking.
[0030] In this structure, the steam inlet 7 is located below the steam box 61, so that steam fills the steam box 61 from bottom to top, and finally, it is ejected from several steam jet holes.
[0031] Specifically, the material guiding mechanism 2 includes a rotating frame 21 and a first motor 22 that is linked to the rotating frame 21. In this structure, the material guiding mechanism 2 is connected to the frame 1 through an extension plate 23 to realize the straightening and introduction of products.
[0032] Specifically, the frame 1 has a controller 200 to control the start, stop and speed of the machine. At the same time, a feeding detection mechanism 9 is also provided to cooperate with the controller 200. The feeding detection mechanism 9 is configured to detect whether the remaining length of the elastic band has reached a preset value.
[0033] Specifically, the frame 1 also has a guide section, which is paired with the input end 4 and the output end 5 respectively. The guide section is used to guide the direction of the product. The guide section includes a guide section 1 81 and a guide section 2 82. The guide section 1 81 is adapted to the input end 4, and the guide section 2 82 is adapted to the output end 5.
[0034] In this structure, the guide section 81 consists of a set of guide rods, and the guide section 81 consists of multiple sets of guide rods.
[0035] Meanwhile, the frame 1 is also equipped with a leveling component, which includes leveling component one 31 and leveling component two 32. The guide part cooperates with leveling component one 31. In this structure, it is located at the output end 5 and above the guide part two 82. Leveling component two 32 is located on the outside of the frame 1 and serves as a material feeding guide. The leveling component is mainly composed of a drive wheel, a driven wheel, a drive motor, a guide rod, and a limit rod.
[0036] The application of the leveling component is that the drive motor drives the active wheel, which in turn drives the driven wheel through the product. Together with the guide rod and the limit rod, it forms a guide and a locking mechanism, achieving the functions of leveling and winding guidance. Similarly, the guide part is also a winding guide.
[0037] In this structure, the leveling component 2 32 has a mounting plate 800 connected to the frame 1.
[0038] Specifically, the accommodating cavity 100 is formed by a movable plate 500 in conjunction with the frame. In this structure, the movable plate 500 is fixed to the frame by a movable buckle.
[0039] Specifically, the frame 1 has a holding section 600 located on one side of the output end 5, which includes a through hole section with a control valve 700 for draining accumulated water. In this structure, the through hole section is located at the center of the holding section 600, and the water is drained by the switch control valve.
[0040] This application uses a motor to reduce labor costs. High-temperature steam can penetrate the product, making the high-temperature shrinkage of each product surface more uniform and stable, ensuring consistent product results. The steam is dispersed to each steam hole through the steam box to achieve the heating effect.
[0041] Principle: The product is first straightened by the guiding mechanism and fed into the feeding channel through the input end. The product passes through the surface of the steam hole from top to bottom in the steam box. The steam is sprayed out from the steam hole and high temperature steam is used to heat the product. After shaping, it is output from the output end. The controller controls the speed of the motor to achieve the product shaping and shrinkage effect. The entire shaping and leveling structure process is perfected by the feeding detection mechanism, leveling components and guide parts.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
