Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, specifically to a knitted fabric cleaning and drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Knitted fabric is a type of fabric woven from yarns or cotton threads using a knitting machine. Compared to other fabrics, knitted fabric is softer and more elastic, making it suitable for making underwear, sportswear, and other products that require a certain degree of stretch. Due to its special weaving method and fiber structure, knitted fabric has excellent breathability and moisture absorption, while also maintaining its shape and dimensional stability. In garment production, to ensure better comfort, knitted fabric is usually washed and dried before use.
[0003] After washing, knitted fabrics need to be dried, which requires the use of a drying device. Traditional knitted fabric washing and drying devices simply place the knitted fabric directly on the drying table. However, this method has low drying efficiency, and when drying longer knitted fabrics, it is easy for the fabric to pile up. On the one hand, the drying efficiency is low and the drying is uneven. The surface knitted fabric is easily over-dried, while the knitted fabric piled inside is not dried well. On the other hand, the piled-up knitted fabric is prone to wrinkles on the surface after drying, which affects the processing and use of the knitted fabric. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a knitted fabric washing and drying device, which can effectively solve the problem that the existing knitted fabric washing and drying devices directly place the knitted fabric on the drying table for drying, resulting in low drying efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model provides a knitted fabric washing and drying device, including a box body. The box body is provided with a drying chamber and a positioning chamber arranged from left to right. The left end of the box body is provided with a door adapted to the size of the drying chamber. A handle is fixedly connected to the end of the door away from the drying chamber. A support plate is fixedly connected to the end of the door near the drying chamber. Multiple guide rollers are also provided below the support plate of the door. A limit component is provided at the upper end of the guide rollers.
[0007] The limiting component includes a limiting groove opened inside the door, a limiting slider slidably connected to the limiting groove, a limiting spring fixedly connected between the limiting slider and the limiting groove, and a limiting pressure plate fixedly connected to one end of the limiting slider near the support plate.
[0008] According to the above-mentioned knitted fabric washing and drying device, a sealing groove communicating with the drying chamber is provided at the left end of the box body, and a sealing gasket that cooperates with the sealing groove is fixedly connected to the end of the box door near the drying chamber.
[0009] According to the above-mentioned knitted fabric washing and drying device, the width of the limiting groove at the end near the support plate is smaller than the width of the limiting groove at the end away from the support plate.
[0010] According to the above-mentioned knitted fabric washing and drying device, a plurality of guide rods are fixedly connected to one end of the door near the drying chamber. The guide rod includes a sliding sleeve rod fixedly connected to the door. A sliding cavity is opened at the right end of the sliding sleeve rod. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the positioning cavity, and the fixing rod extends into the interior of the drying chamber and slides in connection with the sliding cavity. A return spring is fixedly connected between the fixing rod and the sliding cavity.
[0011] According to the above-mentioned knitted fabric washing and drying device, the positioning cavity is provided with magnetorheological fluid, the inner top wall of the positioning cavity is fixedly installed with a magnetic field generator, and the front end of the housing is equipped with a controller for controlling the power supply of the magnetic field generator.
[0012] According to the above-mentioned knitted fabric washing and drying device, the limiting spring is always in a compressed state, and the limiting spring is never in a state of extreme compression.
[0013] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:
[0014] This invention utilizes a structure incorporating a fixed rod, a sliding sleeve, a return spring, and a magnetorheological fluid. By controlling the flow of the magnetorheological fluid through a magnetic field generator, the position of the chamber door can be altered, increasing operational convenience. The inclusion of guide rollers and limiting components ensures that the knitted fabric fully contacts the hot airflow inside the drying chamber while preventing excessive fabric accumulation, resulting in a more uniform drying process that doesn't occupy too much space. The limiting components also allow for precise control of the knitted fabric placement, improving drying uniformity and efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0022] Example: Refer to Figures 1 to 3 A knitted fabric washing and drying device includes a housing 1. A drying chamber 11 and a positioning chamber 12 are sequentially spaced from left to right inside the housing 1. A magnetorheological fluid 5 is disposed inside the positioning chamber 12. A magnetic field generator is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the positioning chamber 12. A controller for controlling the power supply to the magnetic field generator is installed at the front end of the housing 1. The most significant characteristic of the magnetorheological fluid 5 is that its rheological properties can be dynamically adjusted under the action of an external magnetic field. Without a magnetic field, the magnetorheological fluid 5 typically behaves as a flowing liquid, similar to ordinary oil or water. With a magnetic field, when an external magnetic field is applied, the ferromagnetic particles in the liquid rapidly arrange themselves into chain-like or structural networks, causing the liquid to exhibit higher viscosity and even exhibit behavior similar to a solid.
[0023] The left end of the box body 1 is provided with a door 2 that is adapted to the size of the drying chamber 11. The left end of the box body 1 is provided with a sealing groove 13 that communicates with the drying chamber 11. The end of the door 2 near the drying chamber 11 is fixedly connected with a sealing gasket 21 that cooperates with the sealing groove 13, so as to ensure that the heat will not be lost when the drying chamber 11 dries the knitted fabric inside, thus ensuring the drying efficiency.
[0024] A handle 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the door 2 away from the drying chamber 11. The handle 22 facilitates pulling the door 2 and makes it easy to put in and take out the knitted fabric.
[0025] Multiple guide rods 4 are fixedly connected to one end of the door 2 near the drying chamber 11. The guide rod 4 includes a sliding sleeve rod 41 fixedly connected to the door 2. A sliding cavity 42 is opened at the right end of the sliding sleeve rod 41. A fixed rod 44 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning cavity 12, and the fixed rod 44 extends into the interior of the drying chamber 11 and slides in connection with the sliding cavity 42. A return spring 43 is fixedly connected between the fixed rod 44 and the sliding cavity 42. By setting the sliding sleeve rod 41 to slide outside the fixed rod 44, the stability of the door 2 movement is ensured, and the position of the sealing groove 13 and the sealing gasket 21 are aligned.
[0026] A support plate 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the door 2 near the drying chamber 11. Multiple guide rollers 24 are also provided below the support plate 23 on the door 2. A limit component 3 is provided at the upper end of the guide rollers 24. Multiple through slots are opened on the support plate 23 to increase the contact area between the drying chamber 11 and the knitted fabric and speed up the drying efficiency.
[0027] The limiting component 3 includes a limiting groove 31 opened in the door 2. The limiting groove 31 is slidably connected to a limiting slider 32. The width of the limiting groove 31 at the end near the support plate 23 is smaller than the width of the limiting groove 31 at the end away from the support plate 23, so as to prevent the limiting slider 32 from disengaging from the limiting groove 31.
[0028] A limiting spring 34 is fixedly connected between the limiting slider 32 and the limiting groove 31. A limiting pressure plate 33 is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting slider 32 near the support plate 23. When placing the knitted fabric, the door 2 is pulled by the handle 22, and the limiting pressure plate 33 is pulled upward. The end of the knitted fabric is placed between the limiting pressure plate 33 and the support plate 23. The limiting pressure plate 33 is released. Under the elastic force of the limiting spring 34, the limiting pressure plate 33 presses down one end of the knitted fabric and lays the other end flat on the upper end of the support plate 23. When the length of the knitted fabric is too long, the knitted fabric is guided through the guide roller 24 below to avoid the knitted fabric from stacking in the drying chamber 11.
[0029] The limiting spring 34 is always in a compressed state, and it is never in a state of extreme compression, which avoids the limiting spring 34 from easily experiencing elastic fatigue and increases the service life of the limiting spring 34.
[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0031] When placing the knitted fabric, pull the door 2 by the handle 22. After the door 2 and the box body 1 are at a certain distance, the sliding sleeve 41 slides on the outside of the fixed rod 44. The return spring 43 is stretched, and then the controller controls the magnetic field generator to be powered on. The ferromagnetic particles in the magnetorheological fluid 5 will quickly arrange into a chain or structural network, making the liquid exhibit higher viscosity and even exhibiting behavior similar to a solid. Fix the total length of the guide rod 4 to fix the position of the door 2. Pull the limiting pressure plate 33 upward to place the end of the knitted fabric between the limiting pressure plate 33 and the support plate 23. Release the limiting pressure plate 33. Under the elastic force of the limiting spring 34, the limiting pressure plate 33 presses down one end of the knitted fabric and lays the other end flat on the upper end of the support plate 23. When the length of the knitted fabric is too long, guide the knitted fabric through the guide roller 24 below to avoid the knitted fabric from stacking in the drying chamber 11.
[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
