Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fabric testing technology, and more specifically, to a washing test machine for UV-resistant fabrics that simulates washability. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of the textile industry, consumer demand for functional fabrics is increasing, among which UV-protective fabrics are particularly favored. UV-protective fabrics are widely used in outdoor clothing, sun protection products, and other fields, and their washability directly affects the product's lifespan and protective effect. However, current washing tests for simulating washability of UV-protective fabrics have many problems.
[0003] Existing washing test machines are inadequate in simulating real-world washing environments. Daily life involves diverse washing methods, including varying water temperatures and mechanical forces. However, existing equipment typically only offers a single washing mode and cannot accurately simulate multiple washing conditions. For example, in water temperature control, it's difficult to achieve stable adjustment of different temperature gradients, making it impossible to test fabric performance changes under different washing temperatures. Regarding mechanical forces, the agitation and tumbling methods are too simplistic and differ significantly from the actual washing actions of a washing machine, failing to effectively simulate the friction and stretching of clothing during washing, resulting in discrepancies between test results and actual wearing experience.
[0004] Low testing efficiency is another prominent problem with existing technologies. As production scales up, companies need to conduct rapid testing on large quantities of UV-resistant fabrics to ensure product quality and production schedules. However, existing washing test machines often can only test a small number of samples at a time, and the testing cycle is long, failing to meet the needs of companies for efficient testing and increasing their production and time costs.
[0005] Furthermore, the accuracy of existing equipment's test results needs improvement. On the one hand, the internal testing environment of the equipment is uneven, with differences in temperature and water flow rate at different locations, resulting in inconsistent washing conditions for fabric samples from the same batch, affecting the reliability of the test data. On the other hand, the testing equipment lacks precise monitoring and recording of various parameters during the testing process, making it difficult to trace and analyze the test results, and thus failing to provide strong support for fabric research and development and improvement.
[0006] Therefore, a washing test machine for UV-resistant fabrics that simulates washability is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0007] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a washing test machine for simulating washability of UV-resistant fabrics to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a washing test machine for simulating washable UV-resistant fabrics, comprising a chassis, a partition inside the chassis, a washing chamber on one side of the partition, a machine compartment on the other side of the partition, a holding assembly installed on the partition, a heating plate at the bottom of the washing chamber, a heater connected to the heating plate inside the machine compartment, a temperature sensor installed in the middle of one side of the partition, a water level sensor above the temperature sensor, a water inlet on the partition, the water inlet connected to a water pump inside the machine compartment, a drain pipe at the bottom of the washing chamber, and support legs installed at the bottom of the chassis.
[0009] Preferably, the top of the chassis is hinged to a top cover, the top cover and the chassis are fitted with a latch, and a sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the top cover and the top surface of the washing tank.
[0010] Preferably, a display screen is installed on one side of the chassis, and a button is provided below the display screen.
[0011] Preferably, a water supply pipe is connected between the water inlet and the water pump, and a one-way valve is installed on the water supply pipe.
[0012] Preferably, the container assembly includes a motor, a rotating rod, a turntable, fixed rods, a base, a container cylinder, and a sealing cap. The motor is mounted on a partition plate, and the output end of the motor is connected to the rotating rod. A turntable is installed at the end of the rotating rod, and multiple fixed rods are installed in a ring at equal intervals on the turntable. A base is installed at the end of each fixed rod, and a container cylinder is screwed into each base. A sealing cap is installed on each container cylinder.
[0013] Preferably, the container has multiple through holes, and steel balls are placed inside the container.
[0014] Preferably, a shaft seal is fitted at the connection between the rotating rod and the partition.
[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. The motor of the container unit drives the rotating rod and turntable to rotate, and the container drum rolls in the washing chamber. The steel balls inside the drum collide with the fabric, and water can enter the drum through the through holes, simulating the friction and stretching of clothes in actual washing. At the same time, the heating plate and heater work together to not only regulate the water temperature, but also improve the water temperature uniformity and water flow speed. This makes up for the shortcomings of existing equipment such as unstable water temperature control and simple simulation of mechanical force, and more accurately simulates different washing conditions, thus enhancing the washing effect.
[0017] 2. The display screen on the machine can show the temperature, water level and testing time in the washing chamber in real time. The testers can adjust the test parameters in time and judge the quality of the fabric based on the testing time. The button design makes it easy to control the start and stop of the testing machine. The operation is simple and convenient. The latch between the top cover and the machine is easy to open and close. The sealing gasket can prevent water leakage and also play a role in heat preservation, which provides convenience for the testing work.
[0018] 3. By installing a one-way valve on the water supply pipe between the water inlet and the water pump, backflow of water in the washing chamber is effectively prevented, ensuring stable water supply and maintaining the stability of the internal testing environment of the equipment. This solves the problem of uneven testing environment in existing equipment and makes the test results more reliable.
[0019] 4. Multiple or several of the same type of fabric can be placed at once by the container, and each fabric is in the same environment, which makes it easy to detect the quality differences between different fabrics and the quality inconsistency of the same type of fabric at the same time. Compared with the existing equipment that can only test a small number of samples at a time, it greatly improves the detection efficiency, meets the needs of enterprises for rapid detection of a large number of UV-resistant fabrics, and reduces the production cost and time cost of enterprises.
[0020] 5. Temperature and water level sensors accurately monitor the temperature and water level inside the washing chamber. Combined with components such as heating plates and water pumps, this ensures a stable and uniform testing environment inside the equipment. The design of the container components allows all fabrics to be subjected to the same washing conditions, reducing the impact of different washing conditions on fabric samples in the same batch of tests. In addition, various parameters during equipment operation can be recorded on the display screen, facilitating traceability and analysis. This provides strong support for fabric research and development and improvement, and solves the problem that the accuracy of existing equipment test results needs to be improved.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] As attached Figures 1-4 The simulated washable UV-resistant fabric washing test machine shown includes a chassis 1, a partition 8 inside the chassis 1, a washing chamber on one side of the partition 8, and a machine compartment on the other side of the partition 8. A holding assembly 9 is installed on the partition 8. A heating plate 10 is installed at the bottom of the washing chamber. The heating plate 10 is connected to a heater 17 installed in the machine compartment. A temperature sensor 11 is installed in the middle of one side of the partition 8. A water level sensor 12 is installed above the temperature sensor 11. A water inlet 13 is opened on the partition 8 and is connected to a water pump 14 installed in the machine compartment. A drain pipe 7 is installed at the bottom of the washing chamber. Support legs 2 are installed at the bottom of the chassis 1.
[0028] In practice, the top cover 5 is opened, the fabric is placed into the holding assembly 9, the top cover 5 is closed, and the start button 4 is pressed to pump water into the washing chamber. At the same time, the heater 17 is activated, which heats the water in the washing chamber to the set temperature using the heating plate 10. Then, the holding assembly 9 is activated, causing the fabric to continuously roll in the washing chamber. During the rolling process, the uniformity of water temperature and the flow rate of water are improved, thereby improving the washing effect. After the set washing test time is reached, the solenoid valve on the drain pipe 7 is opened to drain the water. Meanwhile, the holding assembly 9 continues to operate to spin-dry the fabric. After the machine is stopped, the fabric can be taken out to observe the color change and whether there is any tearing due to washing. The temperature sensor 11 can detect the water temperature change and work with the heating plate 10 to heat the fabric. The water level sensor 12 detects the water level in the washing chamber to ensure that the placed fabric is completely submerged, and works in conjunction with the opening and closing of the water pump 14.
[0029] The top of the chassis 1 is hinged to a top cover 5, and a latch 6 is provided between the top cover 5 and the chassis 1. A sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the top cover 5 and the top surface of the washing tank.
[0030] In practice, by opening the latch 6, the top cover 5 can be opened, so that the washable and UV-resistant fabric to be tested can be placed in the container 9 for testing. During the test, the top cover 5 is closed, and the sealing gasket can improve the sealing performance of the closure, prevent water leakage, and at the same time play a certain role in heat preservation.
[0031] A display screen 3 is installed on one side of the chassis 1, and a button 4 is provided below the display screen 3.
[0032] In practice, the display screen 3 can show the temperature, water level and testing time in the washing chamber, which makes it convenient for the testing personnel to make adjustments. At the same time, it is easy to judge the quality of the fabric based on the testing time. The button 4 is set to control the opening and closing of the testing machine.
[0033] A water inlet 13 is connected to a water pump 14 via a water delivery pipe 15, and a one-way valve 16 is installed on the water delivery pipe 15.
[0034] In practice, the water pump 14 is used to pump water from an external water source through the water supply pipe 15 to the water inlet 13, and then from the water inlet 13 into the washing chamber to facilitate water supply for washing. The one-way valve 16 is set to prevent backflow of water in the washing chamber.
[0035] The container assembly 9 includes a motor 901, a rotating rod 902, a turntable 903, a fixing rod 904, a base 905, a container 906, and a sealing cover 907. The motor 901 is mounted on the partition plate 8. The output end of the motor 901 is connected to the rotating rod 902. The end of the rotating rod 902 is mounted on the turntable 903. Multiple fixing rods 904 are installed in a ring at equal intervals on the turntable 903. The end of each fixing rod 904 is mounted on a base 905. A container 906 is screwed into each base 905. A sealing cover 907 is installed on each container 906.
[0036] In practice, the motor 901 operates, causing the rotating rod 902 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the turntable 903 to drive the bases 905 mounted on the ends of each fixed rod 904 to rotate back and forth. This allows the holding cylinder 906 to rotate back and forth within the washing chamber. During this rotation, the water in the washing chamber is agitated, and the steel balls inside collide, thereby increasing the water flow rate, improving the washing effect, and making the water temperature after heating by the heating plate 10 more uniform. This ensures that the fabrics in each holding cylinder 906 are in the same environment, allowing multiple or more of the same type of fabric to be placed at once. This facilitates the testing of the quality of different fabrics and the variation in quality among fabrics of the same type.
[0037] The container 906 has multiple through holes, and steel balls are placed inside the container 906.
[0038] In practice, the washable UV-resistant fabric to be tested is placed in the container 906 and steel balls are added. During the washing test, the container 906 rotates back and forth, which causes the steel balls to collide with the fabric, thereby improving the washing effect. The opening of the through hole facilitates the entry of water from the washing chamber into the container 906.
[0039] A shaft seal is fitted at the connection between the rotating rod 902 and the partition plate 8.
[0040] In practice, by connecting the shaft seal to the rotating rod 902, not only can the gap between the rotating rod 902 and the partition plate 8 be sealed, but the smoothness of the rotation of the rotating rod 902 can also be improved.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
