However, the existing testing machine requires manual removal of the fabric from the cup body with tweezers, followed by washing with water in a washing tank, and then washing with solvent in a measuring cup and drying, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, in view of the above problems, this utility model proposes a wash fastness tester, which solves the technical problem that the existing tester requires manual removal of the fabric from the cup with tweezers, then washing with water in the washing tank, and then washing with solvent in the measuring cup and drying, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a wash fastness testing machine, comprising a machine body, a rotating frame disposed within the machine body, a cup body disposed within the rotating frame, a working plane disposed on the top surface of the machine body, a cleaning tank disposed on the volume and located below the working plane, a cover plate disposed on the machine body for sealing the cleaning tank, a test plane disposed on the top of the working plane away from the cup body, a mechanical claw disposed on the top surface of the test plane for clamping the cup body, a longitudinal moving platform for driving the mechanical claw to move longitudinally, a transverse moving platform for driving the longitudinal moving platform to move laterally, a circular groove disposed on the working plane and arranged with the transverse axis of the cup body, and a placement boss disposed on the working plane and arranged with the transverse axis of the cup body. A spring is provided between the mechanical claw and the longitudinal moving platform, and a vibration motor is provided on the mechanical claw.
[0005] Furthermore, the mechanical gripper includes a connecting block connected to a spring, a first connecting rod rotatably disposed on both sides of the connecting block, a second connecting rod rotatably disposed on the connecting block below the first connecting rod, teeth disposed on the first connecting rod and meshing with each other, a clamping block rotatably connected to the first and second connecting rods, and a drive motor for driving one of the first connecting rods to rotate, wherein the vibration motor is disposed on the top of the connecting block.
[0006] Furthermore, the horizontal axis moving platform includes a guide frame disposed on the working plane at the top of the machine body, a lead screw rotatably disposed on the top of the guide frame, a first guide rod disposed below the lead screw, a first slider screwed with the lead screw, a second guide rod disposed between the first sliders, and a second slider disposed on the second guide rod, wherein the bottom of the first slider is slidably connected to the first guide rod.
[0007] Furthermore, the longitudinal moving platform is a drive cylinder mounted on the second slider, and the bottom of the drive cylinder is connected to a spring.
[0008] Furthermore, the clamping block is provided with multiple anti-slip stripes.
[0009] Furthermore, the clamping block is coated with anti-corrosion paint.
[0010] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] This wash fastness testing machine, with its mechanical gripper mechanism, operates by opening the cup and placing it on the working surface. The cleaning solvent is poured into the measuring cup, which is then placed on the circular groove. The horizontal moving platform moves the mechanical gripper laterally above the working surface, and the vertical moving platform lowers the gripper, clamping the fabric inside the cup. Afterward, the cover is opened, and cleaning water is poured in. The vertical moving platform then moves the gripper further downward, immersing its bottom in the cleaning tank. Simultaneously, a vibration motor operates, causing the gripper to vibrate under the spring's action. The vertical moving platform then moves the gripper up and down several times, causing it to vibrate and lift the fabric within the immersion cleaning tank, completing the cleaning process. Finally, the vertical moving platform raises the gripper. Upon reaching the top, the vibration motor stops running. Then, the horizontal axis moving platform moves the mechanical gripper laterally to the position above the circular groove on the test plane. Next, the vertical moving platform moves the mechanical gripper up and down, while the vibration motor runs. The bottom of the mechanical gripper moves into the measuring cup to soak and clean the fabric. After this, the vertical moving platform moves the mechanical gripper to the top, the horizontal axis moving platform moves laterally above the placement boss, and the vertical moving platform moves the mechanical gripper to the top surface of the placement boss. The mechanical gripper opens and places the fabric onto the placement boss, thus completing the transfer and cleaning of the fabric. This automatic clamping and cleaning of the fabric solves the technical problem of existing testing machines that require manual removal of the fabric from the cup with tweezers, followed by rinsing with water in the cleaning tank, and then rinsing with solvent in the measuring cup and drying, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0020] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] refer to Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment provides a wash fastness testing machine, including a machine body 1, a rotating frame 2 disposed within the machine body 1, a cup body 3 disposed within the rotating frame 2, a working plane 4 disposed on the top surface of the machine body 1, a cleaning tank 401 disposed on the volume and located below the working plane 4, a cover plate 402 disposed on the machine body 1 for closing the cleaning tank 401, a test plane 5 disposed on the top side of the working plane 4 away from the cup body 3, a mechanical claw 6 disposed on the top surface of the test plane 5 for clamping the cup body 3, a longitudinal moving platform 7 for driving the mechanical claw 6 to move longitudinally, a transverse moving platform 8 for driving the longitudinal moving platform 7 to move laterally, a circular groove 9 disposed on the working plane 4 and arranged with the transverse axis of the cup body 3, and a placement boss 10 disposed on the working plane 4 and arranged with the transverse axis of the cup body 3. A spring 11 is provided between the mechanical claw 6 and the longitudinal moving platform 7, and a vibration motor 12 is provided on the mechanical claw 6.
[0022] To use, open the cup and place it on the working surface. Pour the solvent to be cleaned into the measuring cup and place it on the circular groove. After that, the horizontal moving platform moves the mechanical claw horizontally above the working surface. Then, the vertical moving platform moves the mechanical claw downward, clamping the fabric inside the cup. After that, open the cover and pour in the cleaning water. Then, the vertical moving platform moves the mechanical claw downward again, immersing the bottom of the mechanical claw in the cleaning tank. At the same time, the vibration motor runs, and the mechanical claw vibrates under the action of the spring. Then, the vertical moving platform moves the mechanical claw up and down repeatedly several times. The mechanical claw clamps the fabric and vibrates up and down in the immersion cleaning tank to complete the cleaning of the fabric. Then, the vertical moving platform moves the mechanical claw to the top, the vibration motor stops running, and then the horizontal moving platform moves the mechanical claw downward. The claw moves laterally to the position above the circular groove on the test plane. Then, the longitudinal moving platform drives the mechanical claw to move up and down, while the vibration motor runs. The bottom of the mechanical claw moves into the measuring cup to soak and clean the fabric. After completion, the longitudinal moving platform drives the mechanical claw to the top. The transverse moving platform moves laterally above the placement boss, and the longitudinal moving platform drives the mechanical claw to the top surface of the placement boss. The mechanical claw opens and places the fabric on the placement boss, thus completing the transfer of the fabric. It can automatically clamp the fabric and perform multiple washes for convenient use. Through the setting of the vibration motor and mechanical claw, after the vibration motor vibrates, the mechanical claw will shake under the action of the spring, which can improve the cleaning effect of the fabric. Compared with manually holding the fabric with tweezers and rotating and stirring it in the measuring cup, it is more labor-saving and has a better cleaning effect.
[0023] The mechanical claw 6 includes a connecting block 61 connected to a spring 11, a first connecting rod 62 rotatably disposed on both sides of the connecting block 61, a second connecting rod 63 rotatably disposed on the connecting block 61 below the first connecting rod 62, a toothed surface 64 disposed on the first connecting rod 62 and meshing with it, a clamping block 65 rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 62 and the second connecting rod 63, and a drive motor 66 for driving one of the first connecting rods 62 to rotate. The vibration motor 12 is disposed on the top of the connecting block 61.
[0024] When the fabric needs to be clamped, the drive motor drives one of the first connecting rods to rotate. After the first connecting rod rotates, it drives the second connecting rod and the clamping block to rotate. The clamping block will move horizontally to clamp the fabric. The mechanical claw has a good clamping effect and the drive motor has low power. It will not damage the cup or measuring cup if it is accidentally clamped.
[0025] The horizontal axis moving platform 8 includes a guide frame 81 on the working plane 4 at the top of the machine body 1, a lead screw 82 rotatably disposed on the top of the guide frame 81, a first guide rod 83 disposed below the lead screw 82, a first slider 84 screwed with the lead screw 82, a second guide rod 85 disposed between the first sliders 84, and a second slider 86 disposed on the second guide rod 85. The bottom of the first slider 84 is slidably connected to the first guide rod 83.
[0026] The horizontal axis moving platform has a drive motor that drives a lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives a slider to move. The slider then drives a mechanical gripper to move laterally. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the mechanical gripper, the second slider is moved back and forth on the second guide rod for adjustment, which facilitates the control of the mechanical gripper's movement.
[0027] The longitudinal moving platform 7 is a drive cylinder mounted on the second slider 86. The bottom of the drive cylinder is connected to the spring 11. The drive cylinder can be a pneumatic cylinder or an electric push rod, which facilitates the control of the lifting and moving of the mechanical claw.
[0028] The clamping block 65 is provided with multiple anti-slip stripes 651 to prevent the fabric on the smooth surface from slipping off the clamping block.
[0029] The clamping block 65 is coated with anti-corrosion paint to prevent long-term contact with the solvent inside the measuring cup, which could cause corrosion and damage to the clamping block.
