Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of knitted fabric ironing technology, and in particular to a surface ironing device for knitted fabrics. Background Technology

[0002] Knitted fabric is a type of fabric formed by bending yarns into loops and interlocking them using knitting needles. It is divided into warp-knitted fabric and weft-knitted fabric. Knitted fabrics are soft, moisture-wicking, breathable, and warm. They also have excellent elasticity and extensibility. Compared with woven fabrics, they have the characteristics of high output and are suitable for small-batch production.

[0003] A search revealed that CN218203498U discloses a surface ironing device for knitted fabrics. The knitted fabric is static-eliminating using an anti-static rod, followed by dust removal via a suction pipe and a vacuum fan. An electro-hydraulic cylinder drives the ironing frame up and down, allowing a hollow ironing roller to iron both sides of the knitted fabric. Steam is generated in the steam chamber by heating water with an electric heater, and then enters the steam via a pressure pump and a steam retractable hose to achieve the ironing effect. A water supply pipe and valve facilitate water replenishment. A filter box is included, allowing the suction pipe and vacuum fan to draw steam and dust into the filter box, where the dust is filtered through a filter screen.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following technical defects exist that need to be improved: Although this device achieves repeated ironing through an ironing roller, it cannot ensure the flatness of the knitted fabric during ironing. If there are already wrinkles at the edges of the knitted fabric before ironing, the device will increase the depth of the wrinkles during ironing, thereby reducing the ironing effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a surface ironing device for knitted fabrics to improve the following technical problems: Although conventional devices achieve repeated ironing through ironing rollers, they cannot ensure the flatness of the knitted fabric during ironing. If there are already wrinkles at the edges of the knitted fabric before ironing, the depth of the wrinkles will be increased during ironing, thereby reducing the ironing effect.

[0006] This application provides a surface ironing device for knitted fabrics, employing the following technical solution:

[0007] A surface ironing device for knitted fabric includes a smoothing surface ironing mechanism. The smoothing surface ironing mechanism includes a feed box, a shield, a drive roller, a support frame, a twin-roller iron, a connecting hose, and a water tank. The shield is movably connected to the top of the feed box. The drive roller is rotatably connected to the inside of the feed box. The support frame is fixedly connected to the inside of the feed box and is located at the lower end of the drive roller. The twin-roller iron is rotatably connected to the bottom inside of the feed box. The top of the connecting hose is fixedly connected to the water inlet of the twin-roller iron. The water tank is located on the outside of the feed box. A smoothing component is also provided on the inside of the support frame.

[0008] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the smoothing assembly includes a limiting frame, a stepper motor, a threaded rod, a linear shaft, a movable plate, and a smoothing plate. The limiting frame is symmetrically distributed on the inner side of the support frame. The motor shaft of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod through a coupling. The threaded rod is threadedly sleeved in the middle of the movable plate. The linear shaft passes through the movable plate and is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the limiting frame. The outer side of the smoothing plate abuts against the surface of the outer knitted fabric.

[0009] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the interior of the movable plate is provided with threaded grooves and through holes that are adapted to the dimensions of the threaded rod and the linear shaft.

[0010] In one feasible technical solution of this application, an electric telescopic rod and a push rod are also provided on the side of the movable plate near the through hole. The output end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod, and the outer side of the push rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the cloth-strapping plate.

[0011] In one feasible technical solution of this application, heat dissipation fins are also welded and fixed on both sides of the support frame.

[0012] In one feasible technical solution of this application, a dust cover, a geared motor and a locking gear are also provided on one side of the transmission roller. The dust cover is fixedly connected to the outside of the feed box. The motor shaft of the geared motor is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission roller through a coupling. The locking gear is fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission roller.

[0013] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] 1. The knitted fabric can be placed on the guide plate. The fabric slides into the feed box from the middle of the two sets of protective plates along the inclined guide plate. At the same time, the reduction motor inside the dust cover is started, and its motor shaft drives the transmission roller to rotate. Since the two sets of locking gears on the outside are meshed with each other, the two sets of transmission rollers can rotate in opposite directions under the gear transmission, thereby guiding the knitted fabric downward. Under the bidirectional push of the fabric-straightening plate, the wrinkled fabric is unfolded outward, preventing the rollers of the double roller iron from aggravating the wrinkles. When ironing, water is added to the water tank, the outer water pump is turned on, and the internal water is sucked into the connecting hose from the elbow and enters the double roller iron from the top of the connecting hose. The internal heating element evaporates the water and passes it onto the outer roller, thereby keeping the fibers of the garment loose.

[0015] 2. During the smoothing process, the stepper motor inside the limit frame is activated via the control terminal. The motor shaft drives the threaded rod to rotate. Two sets of linear shafts pass through the movable plate and limit its movement. With the cooperation of the threaded surface of the threaded rod and the lead screw with the built-in thread groove, the movable plate can drive the smoothing plate to move horizontally along the opening surface of the through hole. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod inside is activated, and its output end pushes the push rod. The push rod pushes the smoothing plate and fully presses it against the surface of the knitted fabric. With the back-and-forth movement of the movable plate, the two sides of the knitted fabric are repeatedly unfolded outward, thereby achieving the smoothing effect and preventing wrinkles at the edges of the fabric.

Figure 1The surface ironing device for knitted fabric includes a smoothing surface ironing mechanism 1. The smoothing surface ironing mechanism 1 includes a feed box 11, a shielding plate 12, a transmission roller 13, a support frame 14, a double-roller ironing machine 15, a connecting hose 16, and a water tank 17. The shielding plate 12 is movably connected to the top of the feed box 11. The transmission roller 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the feed box 11. The support frame 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of the feed box 11 and is located at the lower end of the transmission roller 13. The double-roller ironing machine 15 is rotatably connected to the bottom inside of the feed box 11. The top of the connecting hose 16 is fixedly connected to the water inlet of the double-roller ironing machine 15. The water tank 17 is located on the outside of the feed box 11. A smoothing component 2 is also provided on the inside of the support frame 14.

[0030] The smoothing assembly 2 includes a limiting frame 21, a stepper motor 22, a threaded rod 23, a linear shaft 24, a movable plate 25, and a smoothing plate 26. The limiting frame 21 is symmetrically distributed on the inner side of the support frame 14. The motor shaft of the stepper motor 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 23 through a coupling. The threaded rod 23 is threaded into the middle of the movable plate 25. The linear shaft 24 passes through the movable plate 25 and is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the limiting frame 21. The outer side of the smoothing plate 26 abuts against the surface of the outer knitted fabric.

[0031] The interior of the movable plate 25 is provided with threaded grooves 3 and through holes 4 that are adapted to the dimensions of the threaded rod 23 and the linear shaft 24.

[0032] An electric telescopic rod 5 and a push rod 6 are also provided on the side of the movable plate 25 near the through hole 4. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 6, and the outer side of the push rod 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cloth-strapping plate 26.

[0033] Heat dissipation fins 7 are also welded and fixed on both sides of the support frame 14.

[0034] A dust cover 8, a geared motor 9, and a locking gear 10 are also provided on one side of the transmission roller 13. The dust cover 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the feed box 11. The motor shaft of the geared motor 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission roller 13 through a coupling. The locking gear 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission roller 13.

[0035] The specific product model of the double roller ironing machine 15 is: YPAII-3000.

[0036] The general process of using the surface ironing device for knitted fabrics according to this embodiment is as follows:

[0037] The knitted fabric can be placed on the guide plate 27. The fabric slides along the inclined guide plate 27 from the middle position of the two sets of protective plates 12 into the interior of the feed box 11. The running geared motor 9 drives the two sets of transmission rollers 13 to rotate in opposite directions to guide the knitted fabric into the support frame 14. The running stepper motor 22 drives the threaded rod 23 to rotate. With the cooperation of the threaded rod, the movable plate 25 drives the fabric smoothing plate 26 to move back and forth. According to the position and direction of the fabric wrinkles, the electric start electric telescopic rod 5 is used to control the movement. The fabric smoothing plate 26 is positioned at the folds so that the fabric can be spread outward along the edges of the folds, thus smoothing it out. Water is added to the water tank 17, and the outer water pump 18 is turned on. The internal water is drawn into the connecting hose 16 through the elbow 19 and enters the double roller iron 15 from the top of the connecting hose 16. The water is evaporated by the internal heating element and passed to the outer roller, thereby keeping the fibers of the garment loose. The ironed knitted fabric finally slides out of the feed box 11 from the discharge plate 20 for easy collection by the staff.

[0038] The beneficial technical effects of the surface ironing apparatus for knitted fabrics according to the embodiments of this application are roughly as follows:

[0039] The knitted fabric can be placed on the guide plate 27. The fabric slides along the inclined guide plate 27 from the middle position of the two sets of shielding plates 12 into the inside of the feed box 11. Simultaneously, the reduction motor 9 inside the dust cover 8 is started, and its motor shaft drives the transmission roller 13 to rotate. Since the two sets of locking gears 10 on the outside are meshed with each other, the two sets of transmission rollers 13 can rotate in opposite directions under the gear transmission, thereby guiding the knitted fabric downward. Under the bidirectional push of the fabric smoothing plate 26, the wrinkled fabric is unfolded outward, preventing the rollers of the double roller ironing machine 15 from aggravating the wrinkles. During ironing, water is added to the water tank 17, the outer water pump 18 is turned on, and the internal water is sucked into the connecting hose 16 from the elbow 19 and enters the double roller ironing machine 15 from the top of the connecting hose 16. Inside, an internal heating element evaporates water and introduces it into the outer roller, thus keeping the fabric fibers loose. During the smoothing process, the stepper motor 22 inside the limit frame 21 is activated by the control terminal. Its motor shaft drives the threaded rod 23 to rotate. Two sets of linear shafts 24 pass through the movable plate 25 and limit its movement. With the cooperation of the threaded surface of the threaded rod 23 and the lead screw with the built-in threaded groove 3, the movable plate 25 can drive the smoothing plate 26 to move horizontally along the opening surface of the through hole 4. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 5 inside is activated. Its output end pushes the push rod 6. The push rod 6 pushes the smoothing plate 26 and fully presses it against the surface of the knitted fabric. With the back-and-forth movement of the movable plate 25, the two sides of the knitted fabric are repeatedly unfolded outward, thereby achieving a smoothing effect and preventing wrinkles at the edges of the fabric.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
