Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knitted fabric processing technology, and in particular to a knitted fabric shrinkage and shaping machine. Background Technology
[0002] Fabric shrinkage setting machine is a type of pre-shrinking machine. It eliminates the shrinkage of clothing fabrics under certain pressure, temperature and humidity conditions. It is suitable for pre-shrinking pure cotton, knitted, chemical fiber and blended fabrics. The pre-shrinked fabric has the effects of soft hand feel, dimensional stability and improved fabric appearance.
[0003] In existing technologies, fabric shrinking and shaping machines humidify fabrics using water vapor. The humidification and shrinking process generates a large amount of water vapor. Some methods of handling this water vapor involve pumping it outdoors through pipes. Since fabrics contain a lot of lint, releasing this lint outdoors causes pollution, and the released water vapor wastes water resources. On the other hand, some shrinking and shaping machines directly discharge water vapor into the workspace, which not only causes lint to fly everywhere but also further increases the temperature of the working environment. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the technical defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides a knitted fabric shrinkage setting machine to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the existing technology.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a shrinking and setting machine for knitted fabric, including a shrinking and setting machine body, a steam hood fixedly connected to the top of the shrinking and setting machine body, a guide component provided at the top center of the steam hood, a horizontal tube provided on the left side of the guide component, a stepped groove opened at the top center of the horizontal tube, an arc-shaped cover hinged inside the stepped groove, and the arc-shaped cover and the horizontal tube being locked together by a buckle, a trapping component provided inside the arc-shaped cover, the trapping component including a trapping cylinder, the trapping cylinder being adapted to the inner diameter of the horizontal tube, and a filter screen fixedly connected to the left end of the trapping cylinder.
[0006] Preferably, the guiding assembly includes a guiding pipe, a guiding box, a spacer assembly, and a motor. The bottom end of the guiding pipe is fixedly connected to the interior of the steam hood, the bottom end of the guiding box is fixedly connected to the top end of the guiding pipe, the spacer assembly is installed on the top end of the guiding box, and the motor is fixedly connected to the top of the spacer assembly. The spacer assembly includes an annular plate, a connecting cylinder, and a circular plate. The bottom end of the connecting cylinder is fixedly connected to the top end of the annular plate, and the bottom end of the circular plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting cylinder. The connecting cylinder has multiple evenly distributed rectangular holes.
[0007] Preferably, the motor is fixedly connected to the top of the circular plate, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and the end of the rotating shaft away from the motor passes through the circular plate and extends into the interior of the connecting cylinder, and the extended end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a fan blade.
[0008] Preferably, the right end of the horizontal tube is fixedly connected to the left side of the guide box, the left end of the horizontal tube is fixedly connected to an L-shaped tube, and the end of the L-shaped tube away from the horizontal tube is fixedly connected to a spiral tube.
[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the arc-shaped cover is fixedly connected to a handle, and the end of the arc-shaped cover away from the handle is fixedly connected to two arc-shaped slide bars, the cross-section of the arc-shaped slide bars is convex, the two arc-shaped slide bars are symmetrically distributed, the bottom of the arc-shaped cover is adapted to the stepped groove, and the bottom plate of the arc-shaped cover is fixedly connected to a sealing strip.
[0010] Preferably, an arc-shaped groove is provided at the top of the intercepting cylinder and at a position corresponding to the arc-shaped slide bar. One end of the arc-shaped slide bar has an inclined surface. The arc-shaped slide bar is slidably connected inside the arc-shaped slide bar.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] The motor drives the fan blades to rotate rapidly, causing water vapor inside the shrinking and setting machine to enter the horizontal pipe through the steam hood, guide pipe, and guide box. Under the action of the interception cylinder and filter screen, the loose hair in the steam is trapped in the filter screen and interception cylinder, preventing the loose hair from being discharged to the outside. At the same time, the filtered steam passes through the horizontal pipe, L-shaped pipe, and spiral pipe in sequence and enters the cold water in the cooling tank, so that the steam forms water droplets when it encounters the cold water and merges with it. The water is discharged through the outlet pipe and collected for other uses. At the same time, a small amount of gas will be discharged through the exhaust port. The temperature of the discharged gas is low and will not cause the working environment temperature to rise.
[0014] By releasing the latch and flipping the handle to one side, the arc-shaped cover is disengaged from the stepped groove. At the same time, the arc-shaped cover, through the arc-shaped slide bar, drives the intercepting cylinder to disengage from the horizontal tube. Rotating the intercepting cylinder clockwise gradually disengages the arc-shaped slide bar from the arc-shaped slide bar, thereby separating the intercepting cylinder from the arc-shaped cover. This facilitates the cleaning of hair debris inside the intercepting cylinder and on the filter screen, preventing excessive hair debris from clogging the intercepting cylinder.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0023] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a shrinking and setting machine for knitted fabrics, including a shrinking and setting machine body 1. A steam hood 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the shrinking and setting machine body 1. The steam hood 2 can collect the steam inside the shrinking and setting machine body 1 to prevent steam leakage. A guide component 3 is provided at the middle of the top of the steam hood 2. The guide component 3 includes a guide pipe 301, a guide box 302, a spacer component, and a motor 303. The bottom end of the guide pipe 301 is fixedly connected to the inside of the steam hood 2. The bottom end of the guide box 302 is fixedly connected to the top end of the guide pipe 301. The spacer component is installed at the top of the guide box 302. The motor 303 is fixedly connected to the top of the spacer component. The guide component 3 can guide and discharge the steam inside the steam hood 2.
[0024] In this embodiment, specifically: the spacer assembly includes an annular plate 7, a connecting cylinder 701, and a circular plate 702. The bottom end of the connecting cylinder 701 is fixedly connected to the top end of the annular plate 7, and the bottom end of the circular plate 702 is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting cylinder 701. The connecting cylinder 701 has multiple evenly distributed rectangular holes. Since steam can raise the temperature of the guide box 302, under the action of the annular plate 7, the connecting cylinder 701, the circular plate 702, and the rectangular holes, the motor 303 is indirectly in contact with the guide box 302, avoiding the motor 303 from overheating and short-circuiting. The motor 303 is fixedly connected to the top of the circular plate 702. The output end of the motor 303 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and the end of the rotating shaft away from the motor 303 passes through the circular plate 702 and extends into the interior of the connecting cylinder 701. The extended end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a fan blade 304.
[0025] In this embodiment, specifically: a horizontal tube 4 is provided on the left side of the guide component 3. A stepped groove 401 is opened at the top middle part of the horizontal tube 4. An arc-shaped cover 504 is hinged inside the stepped groove 401, and the arc-shaped cover 504 is locked to the horizontal tube 4 by a latch. A handle 506 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the arc-shaped cover 504. Two arc-shaped sliders 505 are fixedly connected to the end of the arc-shaped cover 504 away from the handle 506. The cross-section of the arc-shaped sliders 505 is convex, and the two arc-shaped sliders 505 are symmetrically distributed. The bottom of the arc-shaped cover 504 is adapted to the stepped groove 401, and a sealing strip is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the arc-shaped cover 504. The right end of the horizontal tube 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the guide box 302, and the left end of the horizontal tube 4 is fixedly connected to... An L-shaped pipe 402 is provided, and a spiral pipe 403 is fixedly connected to the end of the L-shaped pipe 402 away from the horizontal pipe 4. The spiral pipe 403 can increase the contact area with cold water, thereby improving the efficiency of steam condensation. A cooling tank 6 is provided below the spiral pipe 403. The bottom end of the L-shaped pipe 402 and the spiral pipe 403 are both located inside the cooling tank 6. The upper and lower ends of one side of the cooling tank 6 are fixedly connected to a water inlet pipe 601 and a water outlet pipe 602, respectively. Valves are installed on the water inlet pipe 601 and the water outlet pipe 602. An exhaust hole 603 is provided on the top of the cooling tank 6. The water inlet pipe 601 is connected to the water outlet of the external water chiller, and the water outlet pipe 602 is connected to the water inlet of the external water chiller, so as to form a circulating water and save resources.
[0026] In this embodiment, specifically: a trapping component 5 is provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped cover 504. The trapping component 5 includes a trapping cylinder 501, which is adapted to the inner diameter of the horizontal pipe 4. A filter screen 502 is fixedly connected to the left end of the trapping cylinder 501. Under the action of the trapping cylinder 501 and the filter screen 502, the hair fragments in the steam are trapped in the filter screen 502 and the trapping cylinder 501, preventing the hair fragments from being discharged to the outside. An arc-shaped groove 503 is provided at the top of the trapping cylinder 501 and at a position corresponding to the arc-shaped slide bar 505. One end of the arc-shaped groove 503 has an inclined surface. The arc-shaped slide bar 505 is slidably connected to the trapping cylinder 501. Inside the arc-shaped chute 503, sealing rings are fixedly connected to both outer ends of the intercepting cylinder 501. By releasing the lock, the handle 506 is flipped to one side, causing the arc-shaped cover 504 to disengage from the stepped groove 401. At the same time, the arc-shaped cover 504 drives the intercepting cylinder 501 to disengage from the horizontal tube 4 through the arc-shaped slide bar 505. Rotating the intercepting cylinder 501 clockwise causes the arc-shaped chute 503 to gradually disengage from the arc-shaped slide bar 505, thereby separating the intercepting cylinder 501 from the arc-shaped cover 504. This facilitates the cleaning of the debris inside the intercepting cylinder 501 and on the filter screen 502, preventing excessive debris from clogging the intercepting cylinder 501.
[0027] When this utility model is in operation: the controller on the shrinking and setting machine body 1 controls the motor 303 to run. The motor 303 shaft drives the fan blade 304 to rotate rapidly, so that the water vapor in the shrinking and setting machine body 1 enters the horizontal pipe 4 through the steam hood 2, the guide pipe 301 and the guide box 302. Under the action of the intercepting cylinder 501 and the filter screen 502, the hair fragments in the steam are intercepted in the filter screen 502 and the intercepting cylinder 501, preventing the hair fragments from being discharged to the outside. At the same time, the filtered steam passes through the horizontal pipe 4, the L-shaped pipe 402 and the spiral pipe 403 in sequence and enters the cold water in the cooling tank 6, so that the steam is cooled and forms water droplets that merge with the cold water. The water droplets are discharged through the water outlet pipe 602 and collected for other uses. At the same time, a small amount of gas will be discharged through the exhaust port 603. At this time, the temperature of the discharged gas is low and will not cause the working environment temperature to rise.
[0028] Simultaneously, by releasing the latch, the handle 506 is flipped to one side, causing the arc-shaped cover 504 to disengage from the stepped groove 401. At the same time, the arc-shaped cover 504 drives the intercepting cylinder 501 to disengage from the horizontal tube 4 via the arc-shaped slide bar 505. Rotating the intercepting cylinder 501 clockwise causes the arc-shaped slide groove 503 to gradually disengage from the arc-shaped slide bar 505, thereby separating the intercepting cylinder 501 from the arc-shaped cover 504. This facilitates the cleaning of the hair inside the intercepting cylinder 501 and on the filter screen 502, preventing excessive hair from clogging the intercepting cylinder 501.
