Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of street lights, specifically relating to a fabric cooling device for a tenter frame. Background Technology
[0002] A tenter frame is a device used for setting and stretching fabrics. It is commonly used in industrial production such as weaving and dyeing. Its fabric cooling device is used to quickly cool the fabric after high-temperature treatment in order to avoid fabric deformation and improve production efficiency.
[0003] Existing tenter frame machines have high fabric surface temperatures when the finished fabric is dropped, which can cause instability in indicators such as fabric width and shrinkage. The existing cooling structures are relatively simple and have limited effectiveness in cooling the finished fabric. Moreover, most of the cooling structures are fixedly installed on the tenter frame, which makes it inconvenient for workers to maintain and repair them.
[0004] Therefore, to address the problem that the existing Monfuji tenter frame has a high fabric surface temperature during finished fabric unloading, which can lead to instability in the finished fabric width, shrinkage, and other properties, a fabric unloading cooling device for the tenter frame has been developed. By adding an air-cooling structure, a water-spraying structure, and a moving structure to the cooling device, the fabric surface temperature can be cooled to below 50°C during finished fabric unloading, and the fabric moisture regain can be controlled at around 5%, ensuring the stability of various properties of the finished fabric and improving production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] A tenter frame is a device used for setting and stretching fabrics, commonly found in industrial production such as weaving and dyeing. Its fabric cooling device rapidly cools the fabric after high-temperature treatment to prevent deformation and improve production efficiency.
[0024] The structure and working principle of a common fabric cooling device for tenter frame machines are as follows:
[0025] 1. Cooling method
[0026] Air-cooled cooling: Room temperature air is blown onto the fabric surface by a fan or blower to cool the fabric.
[0027] Water-cooled cooling: Cold water is sprayed onto the fabric, cooling it through evaporation and heat exchange. This method typically requires a water tank and a water pump.
[0028] Air convection cooling: This method utilizes the flow of cool air to help dissipate heat from the fabric. Forced ventilation systems are typically used to accelerate airflow.
[0029] 2. Structure of the cooling device
[0030] Cooling box or cooling chamber: The cooling device of a stenter typically includes a cooling chamber in which the fabric is cooled by spraying or blowing air.
[0031] Nozzles or spray nozzles: These components are used to spray cold air or cold water evenly onto the fabric surface to ensure a cooling effect.
[0032] Fan system: Fans or blowers accelerate the cooling process by delivering cold air and can adjust the airflow speed. Water cooling system: If water cooling is used, a water spray system is usually provided, and a water circulation system is also required.
[0033] 3. Working principle
[0034] In a tenter frame, the fabric is subjected to a high temperature after being set and heated.
[0035] Once inside the cooling zone, the fabric is quickly cooled by spraying cooling media (such as cold air or cold water) or by using fans to accelerate airflow.
[0036] While cooling, the fabric maintains tension to avoid wrinkles or deformation caused by uneven cooling.
[0037] 4. Design Considerations
[0038] Uniform cooling: Ensure that the cooling medium evenly covers the entire fabric surface to avoid excessive local temperature differences.
[0039] Cooling effect control: The cooling rate of the fabric can be precisely controlled by adjusting parameters such as the output power, wind speed, and water volume of the nozzle or fan.
[0040] Energy saving and environmental protection: The high-efficiency cooling system reduces energy consumption and meets environmental standards. This cooling device usually works in conjunction with other components of the setting machine (such as heating units, drafting devices, etc.) to ensure the quality and production efficiency of the fabric during the setting process.
[0041] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment: a fabric cooling device for a tenter frame, comprising a mobile platform 1, a support base 2, a cooling box 5, and a support frame 9, and further comprising a cooling fan 3, an air outlet 18, a water tank 4, a matrix pipeline 16, and nozzles 17. The cooling box 5 is installed on the inner wall of the support frame 9. A third groove 14 is provided through the front and rear ends of the cooling box 5. Several sets of water spraying troughs 13 are provided through the left and right ends of the cooling box 5 at equal intervals. Nozzles 17 are installed in the water spraying troughs 13. Several sets of nozzles 17 are installed on the matrix pipeline 16. The matrix pipeline 16 is connected to the water tank 4 through a water supply pipe 15. A water pump is provided in the water tank 4. An air outlet 18 is installed in the third groove 14. The air outlet 18 is connected to the cooling fan 3 through an air supply pipe 19. The four corner edges of the lower end of the mobile platform 1 are each equipped with a self-locking moving wheel 7.
[0042] The mobile wheels 7, in conjunction with the mobile platform 1, allow workers to quickly move the device to the rear of the tenter frame for operation. When not in use, it also facilitates maintenance. The large-area humidification structure, consisting of a water tank 4, water supply pipe 15, matrix piping 16, and nozzles 17, efficiently cools and humidifies the finished fabric in the cooling box 5. Combined with the air-blowing cooling structure, consisting of a cooling fan 3, air supply pipe 19, and air outlet 18, further air-cools the finished fabric in the cooling box 5, ensuring that the fabric surface temperature is cooled to below 50°C when the finished fabric is dropped, and that the fabric moisture regain is controlled at around 5%. This guarantees the stability of various indicators of the finished fabric and improves production efficiency.
[0043] Please see Figures 3-4 In this embodiment, the upper end of the mobile platform 1 is fixedly connected to the support base 2, and the upper inner wall of the support base 2 is fixedly connected to the support frame 9. In use, the support base 2 can provide left and right direction limiting support for the bottom of the support frame 9 to improve its stability in supporting the cooling box 5. The upper end of the support frame 9 is provided with a feed inlet 11, and the front and rear ends of the support frame 9 are provided with second grooves 10. In use, the feed inlet 11 can facilitate the finished fabric to enter the cooling box 5 from the tenter frame for heat dissipation and cooling treatment. The upper and lower ends of the mobile platform 1 and the support base 2 are provided with first grooves 8, and the water tank 4 is installed in the first groove 8. In use, the first groove 8 can be used to install the water tank 4 on the mobile platform 1 and the support base 2 so that the worker can move the water tank 4 as the device moves.
[0044] Please see Figures 4-5 In this embodiment, the pipe protection cover 6 is installed at both ends of the cooling box 5. The pipe protection cover 6 has through holes 12 in the center of both ends. Dustproof grooves are provided at the front and rear ends of the pipe protection cover 6. In use, the pipe protection cover 6 can protect the matrix pipe 16 to avoid damage during use, thereby affecting the normal use of the water vapor humidification structure. The water supply pipe 15 passes through the through hole 12. The outer wall of the water supply pipe 15 is in contact with the upper edge of the support base 2. In use, the through hole 12 can provide certain limiting assistance for the water supply pipe 15. The water supply pipe 15 can cooperate with the water pump in the water storage tank 4 to deliver cooling water to the nozzle 17.
[0045] Please see Figures 4-6 In this embodiment, the outer wall of the air outlet 18 is in contact with the inner wall of the second groove 10, and the matrix pipe 16 is located inside the pipe protection cover 6. During use, the second groove 10 can provide limiting and auxiliary support for the outer wall of the air outlet 18 to improve its stability and safety during use.
[0046] Before use, push the support frame 9, and the moving wheel 7 will drive the moving platform 1 and the support frame 9 to the material outlet end of the tenter frame, so that the material outlet end of the tenter frame corresponds one-to-one with the feed inlet 11.
[0047] When the device is working, the cooling fan 3 and the water pump in the water tank 4 are started at the same time. The cooling fan 3 delivers the cooling air through the air supply pipe 19 to the air outlet 18 in the cooling box 5, so as to form a relative air-cooling environment at the front and rear ends of the cooling box 5. In addition, the water pump delivers the cooling water in the water tank 4 through the water supply pipe 15 to the matrix pipeline 16, and the spray nozzle 17 sprays the cooling water into the cooling box 5 in a compact and large area.
[0048] When the finished fabric enters the cooling box 5 through the feed inlet 11, the large-area water vapor humidification structure, consisting of the water storage tank 4, water supply pipe 15, matrix pipeline 16 and nozzle 17, combined with the air blowing cooling structure consisting of the cooling fan 3, air supply pipe 19 and air outlet 18, efficiently cools and humidifies the finished fabric in the cooling box 5. This ensures that the fabric surface temperature can be cooled to below 50°C when the finished fabric is dropped, and the fabric moisture regain is controlled at around 5%, thus ensuring the stability of various indicators of the finished fabric and improving production efficiency.
[0049] Through the above steps, the mobile wheels 7 and the mobile platform 1 allow workers to quickly move the device to the rear of the tenter frame for work. When not in use, it also facilitates maintenance. The large-area water vapor humidification structure, consisting of a water tank 4, water supply pipe 15, matrix pipe 16, and nozzle 17, combined with the air blowing cooling structure, consisting of a cooling fan 3, air supply pipe 19, and air outlet 18, efficiently cools and humidifies the finished fabric in the cooling box 5, ensuring the stability of various indicators of the finished fabric. This solves the problem that the existing tenter frame cooling zone device is ineffective for cooling high-temperature finished fabrics and is inconvenient to move and adjust.
