Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment processing, specifically to a drying device for a garment processing production line. Background Technology

[0002] A garment assembly line is a highly efficient form of production organization that breaks down the garment production process into a series of interconnected steps, each completed by specialized workers or machinery. This production method can significantly improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure consistent product quality. A garment assembly line typically includes major processes such as cutting, sewing, ironing, and packaging, as well as corresponding auxiliary processes such as embroidery, printing, and drying.

[0003] Drying equipment in garment processing lines is an important component used to remove moisture generated during garment processing, ensuring that garments are dry and flat, and improving product quality. These devices are usually integrated into the production line and can operate continuously, improving production efficiency.

[0004] Traditional drying systems mostly involve hanging clothes to dry before pushing them into the drying chamber. After drying, the clothes are removed, hung back on hangers, and then pushed back into the drying chamber. This process is not efficient in quickly feeding clothes into the drying chamber, nor can it automate the opening and closing of the chamber. This results in excessive heat loss, wasting energy and reducing drying efficiency. Furthermore, in traditional drying chambers, the clothes on the hangers remain stationary, leading to uneven heating and poor drying results. Simultaneous sterilization and disinfection of the clothes are also not possible, and the lack of a temperature sensor prevents precise temperature control during drying. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues of the inability to quickly feed clothes into the drying chamber, the inability to automatically open and close the drying chamber, resulting in excessive heat loss, wasted energy, and reduced drying efficiency, as well as the uneven heating and poor drying effect caused by the fixed hanging clothes in traditional drying chambers, and the inability to simultaneously sterilize and disinfect clothes, and the lack of a temperature sensor for precise temperature control, this invention provides a drying device for a garment processing production line.

[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The following will refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-6 The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0024] A drying device for a garment processing production line includes a drying box 1. An inlet 2 and an outlet 3 are provided through the side wall of the drying box 1. A ring track 4 is fixedly provided through the inlet 2 and the outlet 3. A number of support columns 22 are provided on the side wall of the ring track 4 to support the ring track 4. A number of electric sliders 5 are movably provided on the ring track 4.

[0025] The control panel 14 is electrically connected to several electric sliders 5. Under the control of the internal control system of the control panel 14, the electric sliders 5 can move in an orderly circular motion along the circular track 4. During the movement, each electric slider 5 drives the clothes hangers below to enter the drying chamber 1 through the feed inlet 2. After drying and sterilization, the clothes come out from the discharge outlet 3 and move along the circular track 4, which makes it convenient for staff to hang clothes on empty hangers and also convenient to take down the dried clothes.

[0026] Three support plates 25 are provided on the outer wall of the drying chamber 1 outside the inlet 2 and outlet 3. An electric telescopic rod 26 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the middle support plate 25. The cover 11 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 26. Limit grooves 27 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the other two opposing support plates 25. The two ends of the cover 11 can move on the limit grooves 27.

[0027] Both the inlet 2 and the outlet 3 are equipped with movable covers 11 on their outer walls. An object sensor 12 is also fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drying chamber 1 on one side of the inlet 2. A temperature and humidity sensor 13 and a control panel 14 are also installed at the top of the drying chamber 1. The control panel 14 is electrically connected to the object sensor 12, the temperature and humidity sensor 13, and the two electric telescopic rods 15. When the electric slider 5 moves with the clothes to below the object sensor 12, it senses the object and transmits the information to the control panel 14. The control panel 14 instructs the electric telescopic rod 15 located on the side of the inlet 2 to move downward, causing the cover 11 to move downward along the limiting groove 27, exposing the inlet 2. The clothes can then pass through the inlet 2 and enter the drying chamber for drying. Then the cover 11 is closed.

[0028] The temperature and humidity values ​​after the clothes are dried can be preset on the control panel 14. After drying, the temperature and humidity sensor 13 senses that the internal temperature and humidity have reached the preset drying values ​​and transmits the information to the control panel 14. The control panel 14 controls the electric telescopic rod 15 located on the side of the discharge port 3 to move downward, which drives the cover 11 to move downward along the limit groove 27, exposing the discharge port 3. The clothes move to the outside through the discharge port 3, and then the cover 11 is closed. The cover 11 can be opened and closed automatically according to the drying situation, which can minimize heat loss and save energy.

[0029] Each electric slider 5 has a circular plate 6 fixedly installed below it. An outer ring 7 is rotatably installed below the circular plate 6. A ring gear rack 8 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer ring 7. Several gears 9 are rotatably installed on the top wall of the circular plate 6. The gears 9 are all meshed with the ring gear rack 8. A clothes hanger 10 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of each gear 9. A receiving groove 23 is provided on the bottom wall of the circular plate 6. A servo motor 24 is installed inside the receiving groove 23 through a mounting bracket. The outer ring 7 is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor 24.

[0030] When the electric slider 5 moves on the annular track 4, it drives the circular plate 6 into the drying chamber 1 for drying. When the entire disc is placed inside the drying trough 19 for drying, the servo motor 24 is started, which drives the outer ring 7 to rotate, that is, drives the annular gear rack 8 to rotate. Since several gears 9 are meshed with the annular gear rack 8, the rotation of the annular gear rack 8 can synchronously drive several gears 9 to rotate, that is, drive the clothes hanger 10 to rotate. Clothes are hung on the clothes hanger 10, and at the same time, the clothes are driven to rotate, so that all sides of the clothes can be directly irradiated by several electric heating plates 20 and ultraviolet germicidal lamps 21, so that the energy received is more uniform.

[0031] An electric telescopic rod 15 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the drying chamber 1. A moving groove 16 is fixedly installed at the top of the electric telescopic rod 15. Two other limiting grooves 27 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. A positioning rod 28 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the moving groove 16. The positioning rod 28 can move on the limiting groove 27. When the electric telescopic rod 15 is activated, it drives the positioning rod 28 in the moving groove 16 to move upward along the limiting groove 27. When the positioning rod 28 moves to the uppermost end of the limiting groove 27, the clothes are placed inside the drying chamber 19 for drying. When the positioning rod 28 moves to the lowermost end of the limiting groove 27, the clothes can be moved from inside the drying chamber 19 and from the discharge port 3 to the outside of the drying chamber 1.

[0032] A worm gear 17 is rotatably mounted inside the moving trough 16, and a worm wheel 18 is meshed with the worm gear 17. Another servo motor 24 is mounted on the outer wall of the moving trough 16 via a mounting bracket. The worm gear 17 is located at the output end of the other servo motor 24. The worm wheel 18 is rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of the moving trough 16. A drying trough 19 is fixedly mounted on the top wall of the worm wheel 18. Several electric heating plates 20 and ultraviolet germicidal lamps 21 are alternately arranged on the inner wall of the drying trough 19.

[0033] The servo motor 24 is started, which drives the worm gear 17 to rotate. Since the worm gear 17 and the worm wheel 18 are meshed, the rotation of the worm gear 17 drives the worm wheel 18 to rotate synchronously, which in turn causes the drying tank 19 to rotate. When it rotates around the clothes, several electric heating plates 20 and ultraviolet germicidal lamps 21 alternately dry and sterilize the clothes, improving the drying effect.

[0034] Clothes hung on hanger 10 can rotate and dry inside the drying chamber 19. The control panel 14 is electrically connected to several electric sliders 5, object sensors 12, temperature and humidity sensors 13, electric telescopic rod 15, several electric heating plates 20, several ultraviolet germicidal lamps 21, two servo motors 24, and electric telescopic rod 26. The various steps of the clothes drying process can be preset on the control system inside the control panel 14, achieving automated drying and sterilization, saving manpower and improving efficiency.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
