Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing tank technology for textiles, and in particular to a drum-shaped washing device. Background Technology
[0002] In the textile processing industry, washing is a crucial step in removing impurities, residual dyes, and other contaminants from fabrics. Traditional washing equipment typically employs drum or agitator designs. While these devices can remove contaminants from fabrics to some extent, they still fall short in terms of processing efficiency, water resource utilization, and the potential damage to fabrics.
[0003] First, traditional drum washing machines, due to their internal structural limitations, often struggle to ensure even water penetration through the fabric layers, resulting in inconsistent cleaning effects. Second, these machines may cause unnecessary damage to fabrics due to excessive mechanical force during operation, especially for delicate knitwear. Furthermore, traditional washing equipment is energy-intensive and fails to fully utilize water resources, increasing production costs and being environmentally unfriendly. Utility Model Content

[0030] Before introducing the method embodiments provided by this utility model, a brief introduction will be given on the application scenarios, related terms or nouns that may be involved in the method embodiments of this utility model, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.
[0031] Washing equipment generally refers to mechanical equipment used for cleaning various textiles. Preferably, this invention is mainly applied to drum-type washing equipment.
[0032] The drum washing equipment can include single-drum washing equipment and multi-drum washing equipment. This utility model does not limit the number of polygonal drums 3 in the drum washing equipment, but can be determined according to the actual situation.
[0033] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a drum-shaped water washing device with two rotating drums, according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, it may include the following devices.
[0034] Traditional designs place the drum into the housing from the top, which is difficult and costly when there are multiple drums. Therefore, this invention, a dual-drum drum washing device, features a detachable housing. The detachable housing includes an upper housing 1 and a lower housing, both of which are removable. This detachable design facilitates the installation of the multi-faceted drum 3; when replacement or assembly is needed, only the upper housing 1 needs to be moved to insert the multi-faceted drum 3, improving installation efficiency and reducing labor and equipment costs.
[0035] The dual-drum drum washing equipment includes a detachable housing comprising two polygonal drums 3. Both polygonal drums 3 are horizontally mounted between an upper housing 1 and a lower housing for conveying textiles. The upper housing 1 is provided with a first drum groove, and the lower housing is provided with a second drum groove. Both the first and second drum grooves are matched with each polygonal drum 3, allowing the support shaft structure of the polygonal drum 3 to engage within the first and second drum grooves, thus enabling the polygonal drum 3 to rotate along the drum grooves.
[0036] Traditional drum surfaces are perforated on the flat surface of the drum. Spray water enters the drum through these holes, and textiles come into contact with the water flow inside the drum to complete the water exchange during the washing or dyeing process. This design has many drawbacks, such as an extremely low perforation rate of only 13% to 17%, resulting in low washing efficiency and incomplete cleaning of textiles; the internal drum body is easily contaminated, making color change and cleaning difficult, and leading to a high downtime rate.
[0037] Figure 2 This is a plan view of a polygonal rotating drum according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, this utility model, based on the traditional drumhead design, features multiple prismatic structures circumferentially arranged on the outer surface of the multi-faceted rotating drum 3, forming continuous water-guiding channels between adjacent prismatic structures. The distance between the peaks of each adjacent prismatic structure is equal, for example, 12-25 mm. The height of each prismatic structure is also equal, for example, 12-14 mm; this utility model does not limit this. This arrangement allows water to penetrate deep into the fabric during textile washing, achieving full contact between the water and the textile. The water can fully saturate the fabric fibers, improving washing efficiency.
[0038] In one possible implementation, the drum washing equipment is connected to a water pump via spray pipes 9, thereby achieving thorough spraying of the textile. The drum washing equipment includes multiple spray pipes 9, which are installed on the inner wall of the upper housing 1. The number of spray pipes 9 can be set according to the number of polygonal drums 3. For example, each polygonal drum 3 can have 6-12 spray pipes 9. The diameter of the spray pipes 9 can be 48-60 mm, and the thickness can be 2.5-6 mm. This invention does not limit the number, diameter, or thickness of the spray pipes 9; it can be determined according to actual conditions. Each spray pipe 9 has an embedded nozzle, which is umbrella-shaped to increase the water flow diffusion area and enhance coverage uniformity. Furthermore, the embedded nozzle installation reduces exposed parts, facilitating cleaning and maintenance. The nozzles between adjacent spray pipes 9 are arranged in a crisscross pattern to avoid spray blind spots and ensure sufficient water contact with the fabric.
[0039] The water pump is a circulating water pump with a power range of 2.5 kW to 15 kW, which is not limited in this invention. After the spray pipe 9 of the upper housing 1 sprays water onto the textiles on the multi-faceted drum, the water flows to the lower housing 2. The lower housing 2 is equipped with a corresponding water outlet, through which the water flows into the water inlet device, and then the water pump delivers the water to the spray pipe 9 for spraying treatment. This arrangement can improve the efficiency of water resource utilization. In this invention, the spray pressure of the nozzle is mainly generated by an externally installed water pump to form a spray pressure of 1-2 kg, thereby penetrating the textiles and entering the bottom of the ridges to complete water exchange.
[0040] In one possible implementation, the drum washing equipment further includes guide rollers 5, a quick-release mechanism, and piezoelectric sensors. The guide rollers 5 include an infeed guide roller and an outfeed guide roller, used for inputting and outputting textiles, respectively. The guide rollers 5 are mounted inside the lower housing 2 via the quick-release mechanism. The quick-release mechanism may include a guide groove, a locking cam, and a positioning pin assembly. During installation, the guide rollers 5 are placed into the guide groove via the positioning pin assembly, and then the locking cam rotates the guide rollers 5 into the lower housing 2 of the drum washing equipment, thereby achieving quick installation and removal of the guide rollers 5. A piezoelectric sensor is installed in the bearing housing of each guide roller 5, and the piezoelectric sensor is used to monitor the tension changes generated when the textiles pass through the guide rollers 5 in real time.
[0041] The drum washing equipment also includes an amplifier and a PLC controller. The amplifier is connected to both the piezoelectric sensor and the PLC controller. The amplifier amplifies the weak signal generated by the piezoelectric sensor, and then inputs the amplified signal to the PLC controller via a cable. The PLC controller receives tension signals from each guide roller 5 and monitors and analyzes them in real time. Based on the collected tension information, the PLC controller can adjust the speed of the drive motor to maintain the consistency of the speed between each drum, thereby achieving stable tension control.
[0042] In one possible implementation, each polygonal drum 3 is also equipped with a resistive automatic brake, which immediately activates in case the drum washing equipment needs to be stopped urgently. It rapidly decelerates until it stops by converting the back electromotive force generated by the motor into heat energy, thus preventing fabric breakage and quickly and stably stopping the rotating parts, reducing mechanical wear and helping to extend the equipment's service life.
[0043] In one possible implementation, a heating pipe 8 is also provided at the bottom of the lower chamber 2. The heating pipe 8 is arranged parallel to the axis of at least one polygonal drum 3. This arrangement can effectively improve the temperature control accuracy and uniformity during the cleaning process, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and quality. The heating pipe 8, combined with the spray pipe 9, allows the heated water to quickly cover the surface of the textile, enhancing the heat exchange effect.
[0044] Figure 3 This is a structural diagram of a single-drum drum-shaped washing device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the multi-faceted rotating drum 3 of a single-drum design can be 2000-3400 mm in length, 570-1200 mm in diameter, and 3-8 mm in thickness. A support shaft structure is provided in the middle, designed in two sections. The diameter of the first section can be set to 45-75 mm, and the diameter of the second section can be set to 60-90 mm. The rotational speed of the support shaft structure can reach 60 rpm. The number of spray pipes 9 corresponding to the single-drum design can be set to 8. This invention provides the same structure for single-drum and multi-drum washing equipment, except for the number of drums; therefore, further details are omitted here.
[0045] Regarding the apparatus in the above embodiments, the specific manner in which each module performs its operation has been described in detail in the embodiments related to the method, and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0046] Other embodiments of the present invention will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. The present invention is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention that follow the general principles of the invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The specification and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of the invention are indicated by the following claims.
