Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fabric forming devices, and in particular to a woven pleated fabric forming device. Background Technology

[0002] A woven pleated fabric forming device is a specialized device for creating regular pleated structures on the surface of fabric. By applying controllable pressure, temperature, and humidity conditions, the device shapes woven fabric into pointed, round, or other specific pleats. The woven pleated fabric forming device combines mechanical force with intelligent control, achieving efficient and high-precision pleat production, and is widely used in clothing, home textiles, and other fields.

[0003] An existing woven pleated fabric forming equipment (publication number: CN113684619A) has at least the following drawbacks: When the equipment performs pleating pressing, it needs to heat the fabric, which is beneficial for the pleated fabric to be shaped. However, after the pleated fabric is formed, it needs to dissipate heat and be rolled up. Otherwise, the heat on the pleated fabric will accumulate, causing the fabric temperature to rise, resulting in phenomena such as failure of pleated fabric to be shaped, deformation of pleats, and mutual adhesion between fabrics. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a woven pleated fabric forming device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A woven pleated fabric forming device includes a pleating machine body and an outer protective box. The outer protective box is fixedly installed at the material outlet of the pleating machine body. An air inlet is provided through the top of the outer protective box. A fan is fixedly installed in the interlayer of the top plate of the outer protective box. The air inlets are distributed on the outside of the fan. A filter screen is provided at the top of the air inlet. The filter screen is fixedly connected to the top of the outer protective box by bolts. The filter screen is located at the top of the air inlet. Several air outlets are provided through one side of the inner wall of the outer protective box. A dustproof net is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the outer protective box. The dustproof net is located on the side of the air outlet. A positioning roller assembly is provided at the bottom of the fan. The two ends of the positioning roller assembly are respectively rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer protective box.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of first static eliminators are fixedly connected to the inner top of the outer protective box, and a second static eliminator is provided at the bottom of the positioning roller group. The second static eliminator is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the outer protective box, and a plurality of sliding grooves are provided on the inner wall of the outer protective box at the end away from the pleating machine body.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a first pleating frame is fixedly installed at one end of the outer protective box, and the two ends of the first pleating frame are respectively located inside the several sliding grooves. A second pleating frame is provided on the top of the outer protective box, and several columns are fixedly connected to the top of the outer protective box. The structure of the first pleating frame is the same as the structure of the second pleating frame.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the second pleating frame includes a limiting rod, a spring, and a pleating plate. The pleating plate is slidably connected to the limiting rod, and the spring is located outside the limiting rod. One end of the spring and one end of the limiting rod are both fixedly connected to one side of the column, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the back side of the pleating plate.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a support frame is provided on one side of the second pleating frame, and a take-up roller is rotatably connected to the top center of the support frame. The other end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame, and the support frame is located on one side of the first pleating frame.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the support frame and the pleating machine body are respectively located at the openings on both sides of the outer protective box, and a heating box is fixedly installed at the feed inlet on one side of the pleating machine body, with the pleating machine body located between the outer protective box and the heating box.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. After being heated in the heating chamber, the fabric enters the pleating machine for pleating and shaping. Once pleated, the fabric enters the outer protective box and passes through the positioning roller assembly. Simultaneously, the fan on top of the outer protective box is activated, generating suction to draw air from outside the box. The air passes through a filter and enters the outer protective box's interlayer, forming a cooling system. This system then enters the outer protective box through the air inlet to cool the pleated fabric. The filter removes dust and lint from the air, preventing them from adhering to the pleated fabric and affecting its production quality. The air inside the outer protective box is exhausted through an outlet on one side to prevent heat buildup and ensure proper cooling. This device uses a fan to cool the pleated fabric, preventing overheating that could cause shaping failure, deformation, or other issues that would reduce the overall quality of the pleated fabric.

[0014] 2. A first pleating frame and a second pleating frame are installed at the outlet and top of the outer protective box, respectively. When the pleated fabric is moved out of the outer protective box, the first pleating frame straightens the pleats of the pleated fabric to prevent deviation during displacement, which could cause deformation of the pleats. The support frame on one side of the outer protective box drives the winding roller to rotate and wind up the pleated fabric. The second pleating frame is located on one side of the winding roller. When the winding roller rotates and winds up the pleated fabric, the pleating plate of the second pleating frame passively straightens the pleats on the pleated fabric. The pleat teeth on the pleating plate match the pleats on the fabric to prevent deviation during winding of the pleated fabric, which could cause the pleats to be squeezed and deformed.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-5 A woven pleated fabric forming device includes a pleating machine body 1 and an outer protective box 2. The outer protective box 2 is fixedly installed at the discharge port of the pleating machine body 1. An air inlet 201 is provided through the top of the outer protective box. A fan 202 is fixedly installed in the interlayer of the top plate of the outer protective box 2. The air inlets 201 are distributed on the outside of the fan 202. A filter screen 203 is provided on the top of the air inlet 201. The filter screen 203 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer protective box 2 by bolts. The filter screen 203 is located on the top of the air inlet 201. Several air outlets 204 are provided through one side of the inner wall of the outer protective box 2. A dustproof net 205 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the outer protective box 2. The dustproof net 205 is located on one side of the air outlets 204. A positioning roller group 4 is provided at the bottom of the fan 202. The two ends of the positioning roller group 4 are respectively rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer protective box 2.

[0025] In use, the fabric is heated in the heating box 10 and then enters the pleating machine body 1 for pleating and shaping. After the pleated fabric is formed, it enters the outer protective box 2. The pleated fabric passes through the positioning roller group 4. At the same time, the fan 202 on the top of the outer protective box 2 is started. The fan 202 generates suction to draw air from outside the outer protective box 2. The air passes through the filter screen 203 and enters the interlayer of the outer protective box 2 to form a wind body. It enters the interior of the outer protective box 2 through the air inlet 201 to cool the pleated fabric. The filter screen 203... 3. The device filters dust and lint from the air to prevent them from entering the outer protective box 2 and sticking to the pleated fabric, thus affecting the production quality of the pleated fabric. The air inside the outer protective box 2 is discharged through the air outlet 204 on one side to prevent the air from being unable to be discharged, which would cause heat accumulation and affect the heat dissipation of the pleated fabric. The device uses a fan 202 to cool the pleated fabric with air, preventing the pleated fabric from overheating and causing the fabric to lose its shape or deform, thereby reducing the production quality of the pleated fabric.

[0026] In this embodiment, a number of first static eliminators 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the outer protective box 2, and a second static eliminator 5 is provided at the bottom of the positioning roller group 4. The second static eliminator 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer protective box 2, and a number of sliding grooves 206 are provided on the inner wall of the outer protective box 2 at the end away from the pleating machine body 1.

[0027] In use, the first static eliminator 3 and the second static eliminator 5 are located on the top and bottom sides of the pleated fabric, respectively, to eliminate static electricity on the top and bottom of the pleated fabric. This prevents static electricity from causing fibers to adhere to the positioning roller group 4, resulting in entanglement and affecting operation. It also prevents static electricity from accumulating when the fabric is stretched and shaped, due to friction with the equipment or high temperature, causing objects to stick to the fabric surface. At the same time, it prevents electric shock when operators touch the fabric, which could pose a danger to the operators. This device effectively solves the problems of fiber entanglement, yarn breakage, adhesion, and safety hazards caused by static electricity.

[0028] In this embodiment, a first pleating frame 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the outer protective box 2. The two ends of the first pleating frame 6 are respectively located inside a plurality of sliding grooves 206. A second pleating frame 7 is provided on the top of the outer protective box 2. A plurality of columns 8 are fixedly connected to the top of the outer protective box 2. The structure of the first pleating frame 6 is the same as the structure of the second pleating frame 7.

[0029] In use, a first pleating frame 6 and a second pleating frame 7 are installed at the discharge port and top of the outer protective box 2, respectively. When the pleated fabric is moved out of the outer protective box 2, the first pleating frame 6 straightens the pleats of the pleated fabric to prevent deviation of the pleated fabric during displacement, which would cause the pleats to deform. The spring 702 and the limiting rod 701 of the first pleating frame 6 are fixedly connected in the slide groove 206, so that the pleating plate 703 of the first pleating frame 6 moves down according to the thickness of different fabrics, which is beneficial to straightening the pleats of the fabric and also prevents the fabric from deviating in position during discharge, which would affect the winding.

[0030] In this embodiment, the second pleating frame 7 includes a limiting rod 701, a spring 702 and a pleating plate 703. The pleating plate 703 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 701. The spring 702 is located outside the limiting rod 701. One end of the spring 702 and one end of the limiting rod 701 are fixedly connected to one side of the column 8, and the other end of the spring 702 is fixedly connected to the back side of the pleating plate 703.

[0031] In use, the support frame 9 on one side of the outer protective box 2 drives the winding roller 901 to rotate and wind up the pleated fabric. The second pleating frame 7 is located on one side of the winding roller 901. When the winding roller 901 rotates and winds up the pleated fabric, the pleating plate 703 of the second pleating frame 7 passively combs the pleats on the pleated fabric. The pleat teeth on the pleating plate 703 match the pleats on the fabric, avoiding deviation when the pleated fabric is wound up, which would cause the pleats to be squeezed and deformed.

[0032] In this embodiment, a support frame 9 is provided on one side of the second pleating frame 7. A take-up roller 901 is rotatably connected to the middle of the top of the support frame 9. The other end of the limiting rod 701 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 9. The support frame 9 is located on one side of the first pleating frame 6.

[0033] In use, as the winding roller 901 winds up more and more pleated fabric, the wound pleated fabric squeezes the pleating plate 703. The pleating plate 703 slides on the limiting rod 701 and squeezes the spring 702, so that the pleating plate slides backward according to the thickness of the wound fabric, so as to avoid the fixed position of the pleating plate 703 affecting the winding of the pleated fabric. The support frame 9 is equipped with a drive motor, which drives the winding roller 901 to rotate and wind up the shaped pleated fabric.

[0034] In this embodiment, the support frame 9 and the pleating machine body 1 are respectively located at the openings on both sides of the outer protective box 2. A heating box 10 is fixedly installed at the feed port on one side of the pleating machine body 1, and the pleating machine body 1 is located between the outer protective box 2 and the heating box 10.

[0035] During use, the heating box 10 is equipped with a fabric heating device to heat the fabric. The heated fabric enters the pleating machine body 1 for pleating and pressing. After the fibers are softened by heat, the fabric is easier to reshape. The pressure of the pleating machine body 1 can quickly eliminate the original irregular creases and form clean and uniform new pleats. The heat setting process can lock the fiber arrangement and reduce the deformation caused by subsequent humidity or external exposure, ensuring that the pleat shape is stable for a long time.

[0036] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: After the fabric is heated by the heating box 10, it enters the pleating machine body 1 for pleating and shaping. After the pleated fabric is formed, it enters the outer protective box 2. The pleated fabric passes through the positioning roller group 4. At the same time, the fan 202 on the top of the outer protective box 2 is started. The fan 202 generates suction to draw air from outside the outer protective box 2. The air passes through the filter screen 203 and enters the interlayer of the outer protective box 2 to form a wind body. It enters the outer protective box 2 through the air inlet 201. The outer casing 2 uses air cooling to dissipate heat from the pleated fabric. A filter 203 filters dust and lint from the air, preventing them from entering the outer casing 2 and adhering to the pleated fabric, thus affecting its production quality. The air inside the outer casing 2 is exhausted through an air outlet 204 on one side, preventing heat buildup that could hinder heat dissipation from the pleated fabric. The device uses a fan 202 to cool the pleated fabric, preventing temperature buildup that could cause fabric shape loss or deformation, thereby reducing the fabric's heat loss. To ensure the quality of the fabric production, a first pleating frame 6 and a second pleating frame 7 are installed at the outlet and top of the outer protective box 2, respectively. When the pleated fabric is moved out of the outer protective box 2, the first pleating frame 6 straightens the pleats of the pleated fabric to prevent deviation during displacement and deformation of the pleats. The support frame 9 on one side of the outer protective box 2 drives the winding roller 901 to rotate and wind up the pleated fabric. The second pleating frame 7 is located on one side of the winding roller 901. When the winding roller 901 rotates to wind up the pleated fabric, the pleating plate 70 of the second pleating frame 7... 3. Passively comb the pleats on the pleated fabric. The pleat teeth on the pleat plate 703 match the pleats on the fabric to avoid deviation when the pleated fabric is rolled up, which would cause the pleats to be squeezed and deformed. As the number of turns of the pleated fabric wound up by the winding roller 901 increases, the wound pleated fabric squeezes the pleat plate 703. The pleat plate 703 slides on the limit rod 701 and squeezes the spring 702, so that the pleat plate slides backward according to the thickness of the rolled fabric, so as to avoid the fixed position of the pleat plate 703 affecting the winding of the pleated fabric.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
