Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fabric processing technology, specifically to a fabric steaming box. Background Technology
[0002] The main function of the fabric steaming box is to steam the fabric. During the hot pressing process, the fabric is heated by steam, which melts and flows the hot melt adhesive material in it. Then, it solidifies during the cooling process, causing the fibers to bond together and form a strong structure.
[0003] To ensure sufficient contact between the fabric and steam, existing fabric steaming boxes require a sufficiently long overall length, resulting in a large space occupation. Furthermore, the existing equipment uses a one-end feeding and one-end discharging method, which makes it inconvenient to change the take-up or unloading rollers. In addition, the existing equipment lacks a positioning structure for the take-up rollers, which can easily cause the fabric to deviate during the take-up process. Utility Model Content

The two ends of the take-up roller shaft and the unload roller shaft are respectively locked in the first card slot and the second card slot on the corresponding side and rotate coaxially with the chuck on the corresponding side.
[0007] The fabric traction mechanism is mounted on the frame. When in operation, the fabric traction mechanism pulls the end of the fabric on the feed roller through the smoothing component and the top of the guide roller in sequence, and then pulls the end of the fabric onto the take-up roller from below the guide roller.
[0008] The distributor is mounted on the frame. Several air outlets are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the distributor to spray high-temperature steam onto the fabric above and below the guide roller through the two sets of air outlets respectively.
[0009] And a steam supply assembly, which is mounted on the frame and connected to the distributor.
[0010] Preferably, the smoothing assembly includes a rotating roller, a spiral plate, and a first motor. The rotating roller is mounted on a frame, and two spiral plates are symmetrically mounted on the rotating roller and rotate coaxially with it. The body of the first motor is mounted on the frame, and the output end of the first motor is connected to the roller shaft of the rotating roller.

[0012] Preferably, the rotary drive includes a second motor, a first gear is coaxially mounted on one end of the take-up roller shaft, and a second gear is rotatably mounted on the frame. When the take-up roller shaft is engaged in the lower placement slot, the first gear and the second gear mesh. The body of the second motor is mounted on the frame, and the output end of the second motor is connected to the mounting shaft of the second gear.
[0013] Preferably, the guide roller includes a first guide roller, a second guide roller, a third guide roller, and a fourth guide roller, with the fourth guide roller located below the first guide roller.
[0014] Preferably, the steam supply assembly includes a water collection hopper, a water storage tank, and a steam generator. The water collection hopper is located at the bottom of the frame, and the second and third guide rollers are both located above the opening of the water collection hopper, with the fabric passing through the opening of the water collection hopper. The water storage tank is located below the water collection hopper, and an inlet pipe communicating with it is provided on the water collection hopper. The other end of the inlet pipe is inserted into the water storage tank and located below the liquid surface. An air inlet pipe is provided at the input end of the distributor, and the other end of the air inlet pipe is inserted into the water storage tank and located above the liquid surface.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0018] By incorporating a fabric traction mechanism consisting of clamping and driving components, the fabric can be quickly moved from the feed roller, around the guide rollers, and the fabric end can be rewound, facilitating the fixing of the fabric end to the take-up roller and improving the efficiency of fabric traction for workers. A smoothing component flattens the fabric, preventing wrinkles during take-up. A diffuser with steam outlets on both sides allows for double-sided steaming of the fabric, ensuring sufficient steaming time while minimizing equipment footprint. The system utilizes a squeeze roller that works in conjunction with the second guide roller to squeeze the steamed fabric dry, allowing for water recycling while reducing the total weight of the fabric on the take-up roller, preventing roller bending, and facilitating roller replacement. Furthermore, by incorporating a water collection hopper, a steam collection hood, and a cone, steam rises and condenses into water droplets upon contact with the inner wall of the cone. These droplets then flow down the inclined surface of the cone and the inner wall of the steam collection hood, returning to the water collection hopper, reducing moisture loss and preventing excessive steam overflow that could cause unnecessary burns.

[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figures 1-8As shown, the present invention proposes a fabric steaming box, comprising a frame 1, a slide 9, a fabric traction mechanism, a distributor 17, and a steam supply assembly. A heat-insulating chamber is mounted on the frame 1, comprising a gas collecting hood 26 and a conical hopper 27. The gas collecting hood 26 is connected to the upper end face of the frame 1. The tip of the conical hopper 27 faces upwards, and the flat end of the conical hopper 27 is connected to the upper end face of the gas collecting hood 26. A smoothing assembly 2 is mounted on the frame 1, comprising a rotating roller, spiral plates, and a first motor. The rotating roller is mounted on the frame 1, and two spiral plates are symmetrically mounted on the rotating roller and rotate coaxially with it. The body of the first motor is mounted on the frame 1, and the output end of the first motor is connected to the roller shaft of the rotating roller. A take-up roller shaft 7 and a feed roller shaft 8 are movably mounted on the support legs of the frame 1. The feed roller shaft 8 is located directly above the take-up roller shaft 7. The support legs are provided with a lower placement groove 101 and an upper placement groove 102. Both ends of the take-up roller shaft 7 are respectively engaged in the corresponding lower placement groove 101 and slidably connected to its inner wall. Both ends of the feed roller shaft 8 are respectively engaged in the corresponding upper placement groove 102 and slidably connected to its inner wall. A rotary drive unit for driving the take-up roller shaft 7 is provided on the frame 1. The rotary drive unit includes a second motor 16. A first gear 72 is coaxially mounted on one end of the take-up roller shaft 7. A second gear 15 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. When the take-up roller shaft 7 is engaged in the lower placement groove 101, the first gear 72 meshes with the second gear 15. The body of the second motor 16 is mounted on the frame 1, and the output end of the second motor 16 is connected to the mounting shaft of the second gear 15. Several guide rollers rotatably connected to the frame 1 are arranged parallel to each other. The guide rollers include a first guide roller 3, a second guide roller 4, a third guide roller 5, and a fourth guide roller 6, with the fourth guide roller 6 located below the first guide roller 3. The carriage 9 is slidably mounted on the frame 1. A linear drive assembly for driving the carriage 9 to slide is mounted on the frame 1. The linear drive assembly includes, but is not limited to, a first cylinder 10. The body of the first cylinder 10 is connected to the frame 1, and the output end of the first cylinder 10 is connected to the carriage 9. The first cylinder 10 is connected to the output pipeline of an external air tank, and the input end of the air tank is connected to an external air compressor. Two slide blocks 11 are symmetrically arranged on the carriage 9. A bidirectional module 12 is mounted on the carriage 9 to drive the two slide blocks 11 to move closer or further apart synchronously. Two brackets 13 are mounted on the slide blocks 11, and each bracket 13 is equipped with... A first slot 131 with the same opening orientation is provided. A chuck 14 is rotatably mounted on the chuck frame 13. A second slot 141 with the same opening orientation as the first slot 131 is provided on the chuck 14. A counterweight 142 is provided on both sides of the opening of the second slot 141 on the chuck 14. After the chuck 14 is separated from the roller shaft by the counterweight 142, the opening orientation of the second slot 141 is kept facing downward (or upward). The two ends of the winding roller shaft 7 and the unloading roller shaft 8 are respectively locked in the first slot 131 and the second slot 141 on the corresponding side and rotate coaxially with the chuck 14 on the corresponding side.The fabric traction mechanism is mounted on the frame 1. In operation, the fabric traction mechanism pulls the fabric end on the feed roller through the smoothing assembly 2 and above the guide roller, then pulls the fabric end onto the take-up roller from below the guide roller. A distributor 17 is mounted on the frame 1. The distributor 17 has several air outlets on both its upper and lower surfaces to spray high-temperature steam onto the fabric above and below the guide roller through the two sets of air outlets, respectively. A steam supply assembly is mounted on the frame 1 and communicates with the distributor 17. The steam supply assembly includes a water collection hopper 19, a water storage tank 20, and a steam generator 22. The water collection hopper 19 is located at the bottom of the frame 1. The second guide roller 4 and the third guide roller 5 are both located above the opening of the water collection hopper 19, and the fabric passes through the opening of the water collection hopper 19. The water storage tank 20 is located below the water collection hopper 19. A water inlet pipe 21 is provided on the water collection hopper 19 and communicates with it. The other end of the water inlet pipe 21 is inserted into the water storage tank 20 and is located below the liquid surface. An air inlet pipe 18 is provided at the input end of the distributor 17. The other end of the air inlet pipe 18 is inserted into the water storage tank 20 and is located above the liquid surface. The steam generator 22 is located inside the water storage tank 20, and the working surface of the steam generator 22 is located below the liquid surface.
[0030] In this invention, the steam generator 22 is started first. When the steam generator 22 is working, a large amount of high-temperature steam is generated in the water storage tank 20. The high-temperature steam enters the distributor 17 along the air inlet pipe 18. High-temperature steam is sprayed out from both the upper and lower sides of the distributor 17 at the same time. A large amount of steam is gathered in the gas collection hood 26 and the cone hopper 27. When the steam comes into contact with the inner wall of the cone hopper 27, it cools down and condenses and flows back into the water collection hopper 19. It then flows back into the water storage tank 20 through the water inlet pipe 21 for reheating. The feed roller 81 is fitted onto the feed roller shaft 8. Then, the first cylinder 10 is activated, pulling down the slide 9, which gradually lowers the height of the four locking blocks 13 and four chucks 14 on both sides until the take-up roller shaft 7 is engaged in the two lower first locking slots 131 and the second locking slot 141. At this time, the feed roller shaft 8 automatically engages in the two upper first locking slots 131 and the second locking slot 141. The bidirectional module 12 is activated, driving the slide blocks 11 on both sides to move closer together until the chucks 14 on both sides are coaxially abutted against the ends of the take-up roller 71 and the feed roller 81, respectively. This achieves the positioning of the feed roller 81 and the take-up roller 71. Next, the fabric end on the feed roller 81 is pulled out, and the fabric traction mechanism is used to wrap the fabric end from the left side of the rotating roller to above it, and from the first guide roller. 3. The fabric end passes over the second guide roller 4 and the third guide roller 5, then passes under the third guide roller from the right side, and passes under the third guide roller 5, the second guide roller 4 and the first guide roller 3. Then the fabric end passes over the fourth guide roller from the right side, and finally the fabric end is pulled and wound onto the take-up roller 71. The second motor 16 is started, and the second motor 16 drives the second gear 15 to rotate, thereby driving the first gear 72, the take-up roller shaft 7 and the take-up roller 71 to rotate through the second gear 15. While the take-up roller 71 is taking in the fabric, the feed roller 81 automatically rotates to feed the fabric. During the fabric take-in and feed process, the first motor drives the rotating roller to rotate. When the rotating roller rotates, the two spiral plates on its surface rotate in opposite directions, thereby smoothing the fabric and preventing wrinkles.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the steam box for fabric fabric proposed in this utility model, compared with the first embodiment, has a bracket 23 slidably connected to the inner wall of the water collection hopper 19, a squeezing roller 24 rotatably mounted on the bracket 23, the squeezing roller 24 being located directly below the second guide roller 4, and a second cylinder 25 for driving the squeezing roller 24 away from or close to the second guide roller 4 is provided on the water collection hopper 19, the second cylinder 25 being connected to the output pipeline of the gas storage tank.
[0033] In this embodiment, after the fabric is pulled at the end and passes under the second guide roller 4, the second cylinder 25 drives the bracket 23 to move upward until the extrusion roller 24 cooperates with the second guide roller 4 to clamp the fabric. Thus, most of the water in the fabric is squeezed out through the cooperation of the second guide roller 4 and the extrusion roller 24. The squeezed water flows back into the water collection hopper 19 and into the water storage tank 20. The water is recycled, reducing water waste and reducing the weight of the fabric on the take-up roller 71.

Compared with Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, this embodiment discloses a specific structure of a fabric traction mechanism. The fabric traction mechanism includes a clamping assembly 28 and a driving assembly 29. The clamping assembly 28 includes a support plate 281, a clamping plate 282, and a locking knob 283. The driving assembly 29 includes two driving wheels 291, two driven wheels 292, two synchronous belts 293, and a third motor 295. The two driving wheels 291 are symmetrically arranged on the frame 1, and the two driven wheels 292 are symmetrically arranged and rotate. On the frame 1, the drive wheel 291 is located at the end of the frame 1 near the fabric inlet / outlet, and the driven wheel 292 is located at the end of the frame 1 away from the fabric inlet / outlet. The drive wheel 291 and the driven wheel 292 are connected by a synchronous belt 293. The two drive wheels 291 are coaxially connected to the same drive shaft 294. The body of the third motor 295 is connected to the frame 1, and the output end of the third motor 295 is connected to the drive shaft 294. The support plate 281 is connected to the synchronous belt 293, and the clamping plate 282 is movably connected to the support plate 281 through a locking knob 283.
[0036] In this embodiment, the structure of the synchronous belt driven clamping assembly 28 is adopted. The fabric end can be clamped by the support plate 281 and the clamping plate 282. Then, the fabric end is locked by rotating the locking knob 283. The fabric end is then driven by the running synchronous belt 293 to pass over the guide roller and return to the fabric inlet and outlet of the frame 1 from below the guide roller. The operation is highly stable and the structure is relatively simple. It is not easily affected by the humid environment and has a long service life.
[0037] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
