[0028] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0029] This utility model provides an automated shaping device for knitted fabrics, including a hollow U-shaped shaping box 1. A base 2 is fixedly installed on the lower side of one side of the hollow U-shaped shaping box 1 to support it and ensure the height of the box from the ground. Inside the hollow U-shaped shaping box 1, a first traction belt group and a second traction belt group with the same shape as the box are rotatably installed to guide the knitted fabric from the inlet 13. The fabric is pulled into the hollow U-shaped shaping box 1 for shaping, and then pulled out from the fabric outlet 14 of the hollow U-shaped shaping box 1. The first traction belt group is located inside the second traction belt group.

[0038] In this embodiment, the steam assembly includes an upper integrated steam nozzle 7 and a lower integrated steam nozzle 8. Several upper and lower integrated steam nozzles 7 and 8 are provided. The upper integrated steam nozzle 7 is located above the lower integrated steam nozzle 8. Several steam nozzles 9 are evenly distributed and fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of the upper and lower integrated steam nozzles 7 and 8, so that the upper and lower integrated steam nozzles 7 and 8 can spray steam evenly onto the upper and lower surfaces of the knitted fabric through the steam nozzles 9. The steam nozzles 9 are internally connected to the corresponding upper and lower integrated steam nozzles 7 and 8.

The controller inside the control box 18 is electrically connected to the steam generating system 15, the blowing system 16, the first drive motor and the second drive motor. The controller adopts existing technology, such as the PLC in the prior art, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: one end of the knitted fabric is placed between the first traction belt group and the second traction belt group. The first traction belt group is driven by the first drive motor and the first traction belt group is driven by the second drive motor to pull the knitted fabric into the hollow U-shaped shaping box 1.

[0042] When the knitted fabric is pulled to the shaping area 11, steam is evenly sprayed onto the upper and lower surfaces of the knitted fabric through the steam nozzles 9 on the upper steam integrated nozzle 7 and the lower steam integrated nozzle 8.

[0043] Under the traction of the first traction belt group and the second traction belt group, the knitted fabric passing through the shaping zone 11 will enter the cooling zone 12 and be cooled by the air blown out by the air outlet 10 inside the cooling zone 12.

[0044] Finally, the knitted fabric that has passed through the cooling zone 12 will be pulled out from the fabric outlet 14 by the first traction belt group and the second traction belt group.

[0045] If winding is required, an external winding device can be used on one side of the fabric outlet 14 to connect the knitted fabric passing through the fabric outlet 14 to the corresponding winding device for winding.
