[0031] See attached document Figure 1-4 A water-jet loom with a drying mechanism includes a water-jet loom body 1, on which a fabric conveying channel is provided, and also includes a negative pressure water absorption component 2 and a hot air drying mechanism 3. The negative pressure water absorption component 2 includes two rotatable guide rollers 200 and two vertically movable guide rollers 201. Several micro-holes 202 are opened on the surface of the guide rollers 201. A water absorption groove 4 is provided below the guide rollers 200. Two water intake ports 400 are opened at the top of the water absorption groove 4. The edges of the water intake ports 400 are covered with soft sealing strips to prevent air leakage. The hot air drying mechanism 3 includes a drying box 300 installed in the middle of the top of the water-jet loom body 1. The drying box 300 is provided with a circulating air duct 301 and a heating wire 302.

[0032] In use, the fabric is first dehydrated by negative pressure adsorption through the negative pressure water absorption component 2 and the water absorption tank 4, so that the moisture is quickly lost and the energy consumption of hot air is reduced in the later stage. Then, the fabric is dried by hot air through the hot air drying mechanism 3, which improves the drying effect of the fabric and speeds up the drying efficiency of the fabric.

[0033] In this embodiment, the guide roller 201 is provided with a spiral guide plate 203 inside. One end of the guide roller 201 is provided with a drain hole. A rotary joint is installed on the drain hole. The rotary joint is connected to a main pipe 204. A hose 205 is connected to the bottom middle of the main pipe 204. A vacuum box 206 is provided at one end of the water absorption tank 4. The bottom end of the hose 205 is connected to the vacuum box 206. The vacuum box 206 includes a conveying pipe, a gas-water separator and a vacuum pump.

[0034] It should be noted that when the vacuum pump inside the vacuum box 206 is turned on, a negative pressure is created inside the guide roller 201. The micropores 202 on its surface generate an adsorption force, drawing water from the fabric into the guide roller 201. The water is then guided axially out through the internal spiral guide plate 203 to prevent water accumulation inside the guide roller 201. The drawn water passes through the main pipe 204 and hose 205 connected to the drain hole at the end of the guide roller 201, and is then filtered by the air-water separator inside the vacuum box 206 before flowing back to the loom water tank for recycling.

[0035] In this embodiment, a vacuum pump 401 is provided at the end of the water suction tank 4 away from the vacuum box 206. The vacuum pump 401 is connected to the inside of the water suction tank 4 through a pipe.

[0036] It should be noted that when vacuum pump 401 is turned on, as the fabric passes above the water absorption tank 4, the water intake port 400 generates a strong suction force, drawing the free water inside the fabric into the water absorption tank 4.

[0037] In this embodiment, a motor 5 is installed on one side of the vacuum pump 401. The output end of the motor 5 is connected to one of the guide rollers 200. The two guide rollers 200 are connected by a transmission wheel and a transmission belt.

[0038] It should be noted that the starting motor 5 drives the guide roller 200 to rotate. The transmission wheel and transmission belt enable the two guide rollers 200 to rotate simultaneously, thereby squeezing and dewatering the fabric.

[0039] In this embodiment, an adjustment plate 6 is provided on the other side of the vacuum pump 401. A groove 600 is provided on the side wall of the adjustment plate 6. A slider 601 is slidably installed inside the groove 600. A screw 7 is connected to the top of the slider 601. The screw 7 vertically penetrates the interior of the adjustment plate 6. The two guide rollers 201 are connected by a fixing rod.

[0040] It should be noted that by rotating the screw 7, the slider 601 moves vertically downward along the groove 600, and the gap between the guide roller 201 and the guide roller 200 is adjusted to form linear pressure to achieve mechanical extrusion dewatering.

[0041] In this embodiment, the circulating air duct 301 includes a horizontal air duct 303 and a vertical air duct 304. The horizontal air ducts 303 are respectively distributed on the inner top wall and inner bottom wall of the drying chamber 300, and the vertical air ducts 304 are respectively distributed on the inner side wall of the drying chamber 300. Several through holes are opened on the side wall of the vertical air duct 304. A circulating fan 305 is installed on the outer side wall of the drying chamber 300. The circulating fan 305 is connected to the circulating air duct 301. The heating wires 302 are evenly distributed on both sides of the drying chamber 300, and the heating wires 302 are all located in front of the vertical air ducts 304.

[0042] It should be noted that when the fabric passes through the drying chamber 300, the circulating fan 305 is turned on to draw air in through the air inlet of the circulating air duct 301. The air circulates inside the horizontal air duct 303 and the vertical air duct 304. The air is then blown onto the fabric through the through holes on the surface of the vertical air duct 304. Furthermore, with the heating wire 302 heating the fabric, the air blown onto the fabric becomes hot air. By blowing the hot air evenly onto the fabric, the drying efficiency of the fabric can be accelerated.

[0043] In this embodiment, the drying box 300 is provided with an inlet and an outlet on both sides, the negative pressure water absorption component 2 and the water absorption groove 4 are located in front of the inlet, two guide rollers 8 are provided inside the drying box 300 near the outlet, and a rotatable winding roller 9 is provided behind the outlet of the drying box 300.

[0044] It should be noted that the fabric is drawn out through the fabric conveying channel, extends through the inlet of the drying box 300 to between the two guide rollers 38, and is wound onto the take-up roller 9 through the outlet.

[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the fabric is drawn out from the fabric conveying channel of the main body 1 of the water-jet loom. The drawn-out fabric is located between guide roller 1 200 and guide roller 2 201. By rotating screw 7, slider 601 drives guide roller 2 201 downwards, squeezing the fabric through guide roller 2 201 and guide roller 1 200. Simultaneously, motor 5 is started to drive guide roller 1 200 to rotate. The transmission wheel and transmission belt enable both guide rollers 1 200 to rotate simultaneously, further squeezing and dewatering the fabric. Vacuum pump 2 401 is activated. When the fabric passes above the water absorption tank 4, the suction port 400 generates a strong suction force, drawing free water from the fabric into the water absorption tank 4. Simultaneously, vacuum pump 1 inside vacuum box 206 is activated, creating negative pressure inside guide roller 2 201. The micropores 202 on its surface generate suction force, drawing water from the fabric into guide roller 2 201. Inside the drying chamber, water is guided axially by the internal spiral guide vane 203 to prevent water accumulation inside the guide roller 201. The sucked water flows through the main pipe 204 and hose 205 connected to the drain hole at the end of the guide roller 201, and then flows back to the loom water tank for recycling after being filtered by the air-water separator inside the vacuum box 206. The fabric is conveyed through the inlet of the drying chamber 300 to the space between the two guide rollers 8, and is wound around the take-up roller 9 through the outlet. When the fabric passes through the drying chamber 300, the circulating fan 305 is turned on to draw air in from the air inlet of the circulating air duct 301. The air circulates inside the horizontal air duct 303 and the vertical air duct 304. The air is then blown onto the fabric through the through holes on the surface of the vertical air duct 304. With the heating wire 302 heating, the air blown onto the fabric becomes hot air. The hot air is blown evenly onto the fabric, which can accelerate the drying efficiency of the fabric.

[0046] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
