Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser washing equipment technology, specifically to an efficiency-enhancing laser washing station for jeans. Background Technology

[0002] Laser water washing is a surface cleaning process that utilizes laser technology. It has wide applications in various fields such as industrial manufacturing, cultural relic preservation, and medicine. The basic principle of laser water washing is to use a focused laser beam to irradiate the surface of a material, causing the surface portion to rapidly vaporize or peel off, thereby achieving surface cleaning. Its core advantages lie in its non-contact, consumable-free, and pollution-free cleaning method, as well as its high precision and minimal or no damage to the substrate, making it an ideal choice for the next generation of industrial cleaning technology.

[0003] In recent years, laser washing has been increasingly used in garment production and fabric processing, especially for denim fabrics, giving them a vintage, worn, or faded look. In contrast, earlier vintage denim processing methods required washing with potassium permanganate or using a sander to create distressed effects. Both methods generated dust that could be harmful to workers. Laser washing equipment eliminates the need for harmful chemicals like sandblasting and strong oxidizers, and avoids excessive scrubbing, greatly protecting worker health. The entire production process is dry, saving significant amounts of water.

[0004] When laser washing denim fabric, workers typically need to manually change the fabric and adjust its placement, folding, or flattening before the laser processing can begin. Existing laser washing equipment is usually square (e.g., 1.2m x 1.2m) with a single-sided opening, generally requiring only one person to monitor each machine. Patent document CN209110388U discloses a similar laser washing device for garment production. This setup is not only space-consuming but also inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes an efficiency-enhancing laser washing station for jeans, which can improve the efficiency of laser washing of jeans and has a smaller footprint.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] An efficiency-enhancing laser washing station for jeans includes two laser washing machines arranged side by side; the two laser washing machines are spaced apart to form a working area; each laser washing machine has an internal cavity, the bottom of which is a processing platform and the top is equipped with a laser generating device.

[0008] The laser washing equipment has a rectangular cross-section in the height direction; the side of the laser washing equipment has an opening on one long side of the rectangle, or an opening on each of the two long sides of the rectangle; the opening is connected to the work area, and is used by workers to perform material changing and fabric adjustment operations on the processing platform in the work area.

[0009] With the above setup, workers can perform material changing and fabric adjustment operations on one laser washing machine while the other is being laser-processed. This allows a single person to operate two machines simultaneously, effectively improving washing efficiency, reducing labor costs, and requiring less floor space.

[0010] As a further optimization of the above solution, a safety light grid is provided at the opening; the light emitted by the safety light grid is horizontal or vertical; and the surface formed by multiple light rays covers the opening.

[0011] During laser processing, if a worker's body passes through the light from the safety light grid, the laser generator will stop working to prevent accidents.

[0012] As a further optimization of the above solution, the laser water washing equipment is connected to an external interactive device, which is located near the work area; the worker uses the interactive device to operate the processing of the laser generating device.

[0013] The interactive device can be a standalone terminal or a separate terminal with the chip integrated into the laser washing equipment and input / output devices external. Input / output devices include a monitor, keyboard, mouse, touchpad / screen, etc.

[0014] As a further optimization of the above solution, the laser water washing equipment is provided with an external fixed bracket; the fixed bracket is close to the opening and the working area; the interactive device is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket.

[0015] As a further optimization of the above solution, the laser water washing equipment is fixedly equipped with an external movable support device; the interactive device is connected to the movable support device.

[0016] The movable support device allows for easy adjustment of the relative positions of the interactive device and the main body of the laser water washing equipment.

[0017] As a further optimization of the above solution, the movable support device includes a rocker arm, with a first hinge point and a second hinge point at its two ends; the rocker arm and the main body of the laser washing equipment are hinged at the first hinge point; the rocker arm and the interactive device are hinged at the second hinge point; the first hinge point is located on the outer side of the main body of the laser washing equipment.

[0018] The rocker arm rotates about the first hinge point, causing the second hinge point to move closer to or further away from the opening; the interactive device rotates about the second hinge point, causing the interactive device to face the worker.

[0019] As a further optimization of the above solution, the movable support device includes a multi-stage rocker arm; the multiple rocker arms are hinged to each other in pairs; both ends of the rocker arm are hinge points; wherein, the two outermost hinge points of the multi-stage rocker arm are the first hinge point and the second hinge point, respectively.

[0020] The rocker arm and the main body of the laser washing equipment are hinged at the first hinge point; the rocker arm and the interactive device are hinged at the second hinge point; the first hinge point is located on the outer side of the main body of the laser washing equipment.

[0021] As a further optimization of the above solution, the laser washing equipment is provided with a light outlet at the top of the cavity; the laser generating device is located on the outer side of the top of the laser washing equipment; the laser emitted by the laser generating device is directed from the light outlet to the processing platform;

[0022] A movable light-shielding plate is provided at the light outlet; the light-shielding plate covers the light outlet and is opened only when the laser generator is working.

[0023] During laser water washing for loading and unloading, workers often extend their bodies under the scanning head, posing a significant safety hazard. Installing a light shield can prevent workers from being directly exposed to abnormal laser beams during material changes.

[0024] As a further optimization of the above solution, the laser water washing equipment is also equipped with an exhaust fan; an interlayer is provided below the processing platform; multiple ventilation holes are provided on the surface of the processing platform; the ventilation holes are connected to the interlayer; the exhaust fan is connected to the interlayer; and the exhaust fan draws air outward from inside the interlayer.

[0025] By combining the exhaust fan, ventilation holes, and interlayer, downward air pressure is created on the surface of the processing platform to adsorb and fix the fabric.

[0026] As a further optimization of the above scheme, the aspect ratio of the rectangle is 1.5-3, that is, the length / width range is [1.5-3].

[0027] The beneficial effects are as follows:

[0028] This invention provides an efficiency-enhancing laser washing station for jeans, which arranges two rectangular laser washing machines side by side with a gap in between. This reduces the floor space required for the equipment, improves the processing efficiency of the washing machines, and reduces idle time. Furthermore, with the addition of a movable support device, the position and orientation of the interactive device relative to the opening can be flexibly adjusted, making it convenient for workers to operate the laser washing equipment using the interactive device.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an efficiency-enhancing laser washing station for jeans, including two laser washing machines 1 arranged side by side; there is a gap 2 between the two laser washing machines 1 to form a working area; the laser washing machine 1 has a cavity 1-1 inside, and the bottom of the cavity 1-1 is a processing platform 1-3; in this embodiment, the laser washing machine 1 has a light outlet 1-2 at the top of the cavity 1-1; a laser generator 1-4 is provided on the outer side of the top of the laser washing machine 1; the laser 1-9 emitted by the laser generator 1-4 is directed from the light outlet 1-2 to the processing platform 1-3.

[0045] A rotatable light shield 1-5 is provided at the light outlet 1-2; the light shield 1-5 covers the light outlet 1-2 and only opens the light outlet 1-2 when the laser generator 1-4 is working.

[0046] The laser washing equipment 1 has a rectangular cross-section in the height direction; in this embodiment, the length-to-width ratio of the rectangle is 1.5, that is, the length:width ratio is 5:3. The side of the laser washing equipment 1 has an opening 1-6 on each of the two long sides of the rectangle; the opening 1-6 communicates with the work area, allowing the worker 3 to perform material changing and fabric adjustment operations on the processing platform 1-3 within the work area. In this embodiment, a safety light curtain 1-7 is provided at the opening 1-6; the light rays 1-8 emitted from the safety light curtain 1-7 are horizontal; the surface formed by multiple light rays 1-8 covers the opening 1-6.

[0047] With the above setup, worker 3 can perform material changing and fabric adjustment operations on another laser washing machine 1 while one laser washing machine 1 is performing laser processing 1-9. This allows a single person to operate two machines simultaneously, effectively improving washing efficiency, reducing labor costs, and requiring less floor space.

[0048] During laser processing (1-9), if worker 3's body passes through the light beam 1-8 of safety light grid 1-7, the laser generator 1-4 will be triggered to stop working, thus avoiding a safety accident.

[0049] During laser water washing for loading and unloading, workers often extend their bodies under the scanning head, posing a significant safety hazard. Installing light shields 1-5 can prevent workers from being directly exposed to abnormal laser beams 1-9 during material changes.
