[0035] Example 1

[0036] Reference Figure 1-8 ,

[0037] A fabric flattening device includes: a flattening roller 1, a driving component 2, and a guiding component 3. The driving component 2 includes a motor and a cylinder. The guiding component 3 includes: a first guide rod, a second guide rod, a first slider, a second slider, and a fixed base. Both the first and second guide rods are mounted on the fixed base, and the first and second sliders are slidably connected to the first and second guide rods, respectively. The fabric flattening device also includes: a connecting plate, a mounting frame, and a rotating disk. The flattening roller 1 is mounted on the mounting frame, the rotating disk is mounted at the bottom of the mounting frame, and the mounting frame is rotatable relative to the rotating disk. The connecting plate is fixed to one end of the rotating disk away from the mounting frame, and the bottom of the connecting plate is fixed to the first and second sliders. Two flattening rollers 1 and two guiding components 3 are provided. A conveying gap 11 for fabric conveying is formed between the two flattening rollers 1. The guiding component 3 is used to guide along a preset direction. The preset direction is inclined relative to the fabric conveying direction. The driving component 2 is used to drive the flattening roller 1 to rotate and also to push the flattening roller 1 to move on the guiding component 3, so that the two flattening rollers 1 move along the preset direction. When one end of the flattening roller 1 moves in a preset direction, the other end of the flattening roller 1 moves in the opposite direction, and so on. When the fabric is conveyed in the conveying direction, the fabric passes through the conveying gap 11. When one end of the two flattening rollers 1 moves in a preset direction, the other end moves in the opposite direction, and so on. The contact area between the two flattening rollers 1 and the fabric forms a dynamically changing tilt angle, which can apply a component force perpendicular to the fabric conveying direction to the fabric, thereby flattening the wrinkles on the fabric without the need for manual assistance, saving time and effort.

[0038] Specifically, the flattening roller 1 forms a receiving chamber and a water inlet 12 communicating with the receiving chamber. The flattening device also includes a sealing component, a connecting pipe 4, and a pump body 5. The pump body 5 is a centrifugal pump. The sealing component is a plug. One end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the pump body 5, and the other end of the connecting pipe 4 is used to connect to the water inlet 12. The pump body 5 is used to inject liquid into the receiving chamber. In this embodiment, the liquid is water. The sealing component is used to seal the water inlet 12. During the fabric conveying process, when one end of the flattening roller 1 moves in a preset direction, the other end of the flattening roller 1 will move in the opposite direction. Therefore, the fabric will also move with the flattening roller 1. At this time, friction is generated between the flattening roller 1 and the fabric, which may cause static electricity to be generated between the fabric and the flattening roller 1, resulting in the fabric adhering to the flattening roller 1 and affecting subsequent processing. In this embodiment, by injecting liquid into the receiving chamber, the static electricity generated between the flattening roller 1 and the fabric is absorbed by the liquid, so that the fabric can be transported normally.

[0039] Specifically, a rotary joint 6 is provided between the connecting pipe 4 and the water inlet 12 to connect the two.

[0040] Specifically, a countersunk hole 13 communicating with the receiving chamber is formed on the journal of the flattening roller 1. The countersunk hole 13 is used to drain the liquid in the receiving chamber. If the liquid remains in the receiving chamber for a long time, it may cause corrosion inside the flattening roller 1, leading to a short service life. Therefore, a countersunk hole 13 communicating with the receiving chamber is provided on the journal of the flattening roller 1 to allow the liquid in the receiving chamber to be drained, and also to facilitate the replacement of the liquid in the receiving chamber by the operator. A plug 14 is provided inside the countersunk hole 13. The plug 14 is a plug. The plug 14 is used to seal the countersunk hole 13. The plug 14 is provided to prevent liquid from entering the receiving chamber through the water inlet 12 and then leaking out through the countersunk hole 13.

[0041] Specifically, the flattening device also includes an abutment 7. The abutment 7 is disposed on the flattening roller 1 and is used to contact the fabric. The abutment 7 is used to reduce the distance between the two flattening rollers 1. When one end of the flattening roller 1 moves in a preset direction, the other end of the flattening roller 1 moves in the opposite direction, and the fabric also moves with the flattening roller 1. In this case, the conveying gap 11 between the two flattening rollers 1 is too large, which may cause thinner fabrics to break. Therefore, the abutment 7 is provided on the flattening roller 1 to reduce the conveying gap 11, so that the flattening device can convey some thinner fabrics.

[0042] Specifically, the flattening roller 1 has multiple receiving grooves 15. The abutment member 7 consists of multiple flat plates 71. The flat plates 71 are made of rubber. The flat plates 71 form a locking part 711. The locking part 711 has a block structure. The locking part 711 is used to insert into the receiving groove 15. A first magnetic block 151 is provided in the receiving groove 15. A slot is formed in the locking part 711, and a second magnetic block 712 is provided in the slot. The first magnetic block 151 and the second magnetic block 712 are magnets with opposite magnetic properties. The second magnetic block 712 of the first magnetic block 151 is provided to facilitate the installation of the flat plate 71 and simplify operation. Since the flattening roller 1 rotates on the flattening device, and the friction between the fabric and the flattening roller 1 is greater than the magnetic force between the first magnetic block 151 and the second magnetic block 712, the flat plate 71 may fall off the flattening roller 1. Friction occurs between the stretching plate 71 and the fabric, and the end face of the locking part 711 can abut against the inner wall of the receiving groove 15 to strengthen the connection between the stretching plate 71 and the stretching roller 1 and prevent the stretching plate 71 from falling off the stretching roller 1. In this embodiment, the first magnetic block 151 and the second magnetic block 712 are both rectangular parallelepiped structures. In other embodiments, multiple first magnetic blocks 151 and second magnetic blocks 712 are provided, and they are cylindrical structures.

[0043] Specifically, extensions 72 are formed at both ends of the flat plate 71. The extensions 72 are plate-shaped structures. The extensions 72 abut against the end faces of the flattening roller 1. Straight holes 721 are formed on the extensions 72, and threaded holes 16 are formed on the end faces of the flattening roller 1. The flat plate 71 is fixed to the flattening roller 1 by a bolt. After prolonged disassembly and reassembly of the flat plate 71, the magnetic force between the first magnetic block 151 and the second magnetic block 712 may decrease. Therefore, extensions 72 are provided on both sides of the flat plate 71, and the flat plate 71 is fixed to the flattening roller 1 by bolts.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Reference Figure 9-10

[0046] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that a fixing groove 17 is formed on the end face of the flattening roller 1. Extensions 72 are formed at both ends of the flattening plate 71. The extensions 72 are elastic plates. The extensions 72 form a first abutting surface 722 and a second abutting surface 723. When the first abutting surface 722 abuts against the end face of the flattening roller 1, the second abutting surface 723 is located within the fixing groove 17. During installation, the locking part 711 on the flattening plate 71 is aligned with the receiving groove 15 on the flattening roller 1, and the extensions 72 at both ends of the flattening plate 71 are pressed into the fixing groove 17 formed on the end face of the flattening roller 1. The operation is simple.
