Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wrinkle removal technology, and in particular to a wrinkle removal device. Background Technology

[0002] Fabric wrinkle removal is a process that uses physical or chemical methods to eliminate wrinkles in fabrics and improve their smoothness. Common methods include high-temperature ironing, steam finishing, resin setting, or adding anti-wrinkle agents. It is applicable to clothing, home textiles and other fields, and aims to improve the feel, enhance durability and keep the fabric crisp and shapely.

[0003] In the textile fabric processing industry, especially in the production of high-end apparel fabrics, home textiles, and industrial textiles, fabric wrinkle removal is one of the key processes to ensure product quality. Traditional fabric wrinkle removal methods mainly rely on steam ironing. While this process can effectively eliminate fabric wrinkles, it still has the following technical shortcomings in practical production applications:

[0004] Existing steam ironing equipment generates high-temperature steam that is directly discharged after ironing, resulting in a significant waste of energy as a large amount of residual heat is not effectively recovered and utilized.

[0005] After simply steam ironing, the fabric may still retain moisture. If it is not dried in time, it is easy for wrinkles to form again during the cooling process, affecting the final flatness.

[0006] Some equipment uses independent drying modules, which not only increases structural complexity but also further increases energy consumption, which is not conducive to energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0007] Therefore, a wrinkle removal device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0008] This invention is a wrinkle removal device proposed to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a wrinkle removal device, comprising a frame, a housing fixedly installed on one side of the top of the frame, and a controller fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the frame. An auxiliary plate is fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the housing, and a steam wrinkle removal component is provided above the auxiliary plate.

[0010] Both sides of the steam wrinkle removal component are provided with air hoods, and the air hoods are fixedly connected to the housing. The two air hoods are fixedly connected to each other by a manifold, and the manifold passes through the housing and is fixedly connected to the housing. The air outlet of the manifold is fixedly connected to an exhaust component, and the exhaust component is fixedly connected to two bends. The two bends are fixedly connected to a gas distribution pipe.

[0011] The multiple air outlets of the air distribution pipe are connected to a heating plate, which is fixedly installed on the inner side of the frame. The end of the heating plate is connected to a drain pipe, and a water recovery tank is provided below the water outlet of the drain pipe.

[0012] Two auxiliary rollers are provided above the heating plate, and the auxiliary rollers are rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the steam wrinkle removal assembly includes an ironing perforated plate, which is fixedly connected to the housing. A steam pipe is fixedly connected to the top center of the ironing perforated plate, and the steam pipe passes through the housing and is fixedly connected to the housing. This structural design allows the steam to be evenly distributed to the entire ironing area, ensuring that the fabric is heated evenly.

[0014] Furthermore, the exhaust assembly includes a motor, which is fixedly mounted on one side of the housing. A drive gear is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor, and a driven gear is meshed with the top of the drive gear. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the driven gear, and an exhaust impeller is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft. A thick pipe is sealed and rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and the thick pipe is fixedly interconnected with two bends and a manifold. The gear transmission structure improves the power transmission efficiency, and the sealed rotation design effectively prevents steam leakage.

[0015] Furthermore, the air distribution pipe includes a horizontal pipe, which is fixedly connected to two bends. Multiple branch pipes are uniformly fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal pipe, and the multi-branch pipe design achieves uniform distribution of hot airflow.

[0016] Furthermore, the heating plate includes an aluminum plate, which is fixedly connected to the frame and to multiple branch pipes and drain pipes. Multiple flow channels extending from one side of the aluminum plate to the other side are opened, and the flow channels are interconnected with the drain pipes and adjacent branch pipes. Multiple electric heating wires are fixedly installed inside the aluminum plate. The excellent thermal conductivity of the aluminum plate, combined with the flow channel design, enables rapid heat exchange.

[0017] Furthermore, a thermocouple is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the frame, and the thermocouple extends through the frame into the aluminum plate for detecting the temperature of the aluminum plate.

[0018] Furthermore, guide rollers are rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the frame, which can assist the fabric in being moved out of the frame.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] In use, this wrinkle-removing device uses a steam wrinkle-removing component to iron the garment. Then, a ventilation component recovers the residual heat from the humid steam, which is then transported to the air distribution pipe via a manifold and air hood. Initially, an aluminum plate is rapidly preheated by an electric heating wire. Once the system is running stably, the recovered residual steam heat is primarily used to maintain the aluminum plate temperature, achieving tiered energy utilization. The aluminum plate continuously dries the fabric through heat conduction, and the auxiliary roller extends the drying path, ensuring both rapid initial heating and full utilization of waste heat energy, significantly reducing system operating energy consumption. Simultaneously, it effectively prevents wrinkling of the fabric due to residual moisture after ironing, achieving a highly efficient and energy-saving integrated wrinkle-removing and drying function.

[0030] Both sides of the steam wrinkle removal component are provided with air hoods 18, and the air hoods 18 are fixedly connected to the housing 1. The two air hoods 18 are fixedly connected to a manifold 3, which passes through the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The air outlet of the manifold 3 is fixedly connected to an exhaust component, which is fixedly connected to two bends 6. The exhaust component includes a motor 5, which is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 1. The drive end of the motor 5 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 20, and the top of the drive gear 20 is meshed with a driven gear 19. One end of the driven gear 19 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 21, and the other end of the rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected to an exhaust impeller 22. The outer surface of the rotating shaft 21 is sealed and rotatably fitted with a thick pipe 4, and the thick pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the two bends 6 and the manifold 3. The outer surface of the rotating shaft 21 is sealed with a sealing ring, which is fixedly connected to the thick pipe 4 to ensure the sealing between the rotating shaft 21 and the thick pipe 4.

[0031] A gas distribution pipe is fixedly connected between the two bends 6. The gas distribution pipe includes a horizontal pipe 26, which is fixedly connected to the two bends 6. Multiple branch pipes 25 are evenly fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal pipe 26.

[0032] Multiple air outlets of the air distribution pipe are connected to a heating plate, which is fixedly installed on the inner side of the frame 8. The end of the heating plate is connected to a drain pipe 9. The heating plate includes an aluminum plate 24, which is fixedly connected to the frame 8 and to multiple branch pipes 25 and drain pipes 9. Multiple flow channels 15 are opened on one side of the aluminum plate 24 and extend to the other side. The flow channels 15 are connected to the drain pipe 9 and adjacent branch pipes 25. Multiple electric heating wires 23 are fixedly installed inside the aluminum plate 24. A water recovery tank 12 is provided below the water outlet of the drain pipe 9. A thermocouple 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the frame 8 and extends through the frame 8 into the aluminum plate 24.

[0033] Two auxiliary rollers 13 are provided above the heating plate, and the auxiliary rollers 13 are rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the frame 8. The inner walls on both sides of the frame 8 are rotatably connected to guide rollers 11.

[0034] The controller 10 is electrically connected to the thermocouple 7, the motor 5, and the electric heating wire 23 to facilitate overall control. The specific data analysis and processing involved to further realize the control function are methods that can be implemented by those skilled in the art based on common knowledge. These methods are not within the scope of this solution. The above description is only to illustrate the beneficial effects that can be achieved by this hardware structure improvement in conjunction with common knowledge.

[0035] Working principle: High-pressure steam is delivered to the ironing perforated plate 17 through the steam pipe 2 and evenly sprayed onto the surface of the fabric to be treated. The heat and moisture of the steam cause the fabric fibers to expand and stretch rapidly, eliminating the original wrinkles. (The fabric is unwound and wound by existing unwinding and rewinding equipment to ensure that the fabric can pass through this device for ironing and drying. The fabric enters the housing 1 through the front opening of the housing 1, then passes through the ironing perforated plate 17, and then enters the frame 8 through the rear opening of the housing 1. Under the action of the auxiliary roller 13, it moves in contact with the aluminum plate 24, and then the guide roller 11 assists in moving the fabric out of the frame 8.)

[0036] The residual steam from ironing is captured by symmetrically arranged air hoods 18 and enters the exhaust assembly through the manifold 3. The motor 5 drives the drive gear 20 to drive the driven gear 19, causing the exhaust impeller 22 on the rotating shaft 21 to rotate at high speed, forming a negative pressure airflow that draws the residual steam into the coarse pipe 4.

[0037] The residual steam then enters the air distribution pipe through the bend 6, and is evenly distributed into the flow channel 15 of the aluminum plate 24 through the diversion pipe 25 of the horizontal pipe 26. During initial system startup, the electric heating wire 23 rapidly preheats the aluminum plate 24 to the operating temperature (60-80℃). Once the temperature of the residual heat airflow stabilizes, the thermocouple 7 monitors and adjusts the electric heating power in real time, automatically transitioning the system to an energy-saving mode primarily utilizing residual heat. The high-temperature airflow forms turbulent heat exchange within the flow channel 15, while the aluminum plate 24 simultaneously dries the passing fabric through contact heat transfer, evaporating the moisture contained in the fabric.

[0038] Drainage pipe 9 discharges condensate into recycling tank 12 to achieve water resource recycling.
