Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fabric production technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for knitted fabric production. Background Technology
[0002] Knitted fabrics are fabrics formed by bending yarns into loops and interlocking them using knitting needles. Knitted fabrics can be divided into two categories based on weft-knitted fabrics and warp-knitted fabrics. Weft-knitted fabrics often use low-elastic polyester yarn or profiled polyester yarn, nylon yarn, cotton yarn, wool yarn, etc., as raw materials, employing plain knit structures, varied plain knit structures, rib knit structures, double rib knit structures, jacquard structures, terry structures, etc., woven on various weft knitting machines. Knitted fabrics are widely used in clothing fabrics and linings, home textiles, and other products, and are loved by consumers.
[0003] Knitted fabrics are usually machine-made. During the processing of knitted fabrics, they need to be cleaned using cleaning equipment so that they can be processed into other forms of products. However, existing cleaning equipment usually rinses the surface of knitted fabrics with water. During the water rinsing process, some floating lint and impurities are easily left behind and cannot be cleaned. It is difficult to remove some lint and impurities adhering to the surface of the fabric, which affects the quality of the finished fabric.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cleaning device for knitted fabric production to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for knitted fabric production to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution to the aforementioned technical problems: A cleaning device for knitted fabric production includes a housing, with an inlet and an outlet at each end of the housing. A water spray plate is fixed inside the top side wall of the housing, and a liquid passage chamber is opened inside the water spray plate. A water inlet pipe communicating with the liquid passage chamber is fixed at the top of the water spray plate. A water spray hole communicating with the liquid passage chamber is opened on the bottom surface of the water spray plate. Multiple water spray holes are provided and are equidistantly distributed. A pre-cleaning component is provided at the inlet of the housing. Two support rollers located on the side of the pre-cleaning component away from the inlet of the housing are provided inside the housing. Spring support components are provided at both ends of the support rollers.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the pre-cleaning component includes two cooperating cleaning rollers disposed at the inlet of the outer shell. Both ends of the cleaning rollers are fixed with a first end shaft arranged coaxially with the cleaning rollers. The first end shaft is rotatably connected to the side wall of the outer shell. The side of the cleaning rollers is fixed with protrusions arranged along the length of the cleaning rollers. Multiple protrusions are provided and the multiple protrusions are arranged in a ring. Adhesive strips are attached and fixed to the side of the protrusions.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the adhesive strip is arranged along the length direction of the convex strip and is of the same length as the convex strip. The adhesive strip is attached and fixed to the side of the convex strip by a Velcro structure.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a servo motor is fixed on the outer wall of the outer shell, and the output end of the servo motor is fixed to the first end shaft on one end of one of the cleaning rollers. Gears are fixed on the first end shafts at the same side of both cleaning rollers, and the two gears mesh with each other.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the spring support assembly includes a groove on the side of the outer shell, and both ends of the support roller are fixed with a second end shaft inserted into the groove. A spring is provided inside the groove, and both ends of the spring are fixed to the bottom side of the groove and the side of the second end shaft, respectively.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a drain pipe communicating with the interior of the outer shell is fixed on the bottom outer wall of the outer shell, and a plurality of symmetrically distributed support rods are fixed on the bottom outer wall of the outer shell.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. The pre-cleaning component removes lint and impurities from both sides of the fabric to avoid affecting the subsequent cleaning effect. This pre-treatment of the fabric before cleaning effectively reduces the cleaning load of the subsequent cleaning process and improves the overall cleaning effect of the fabric surface.
[0014] 2. The intermittent impact force of the water flow applies downward pressure to the fabric and support rollers. The elastic support components push the support rollers upward, causing the fabric to vibrate. This makes it less likely for dirt and impurities to remain on the fabric surface, further improving the cleaning effect and increasing cleaning efficiency while saving cleaning water.

Water spray hole. Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-7This utility model provides a cleaning device for knitted fabric production, including a housing 3. The housing 3 has an inlet and an outlet at both ends. A water spray plate 4 is fixed inside the top side wall of the housing 3. A liquid passage chamber 11 is opened inside the water spray plate 4. A water inlet pipe 5 communicating with the liquid passage chamber 11 is fixed to the top of the water spray plate 4. Multiple water spray holes 12 communicating with the liquid passage chamber 11 are opened on the bottom surface of the water spray plate 4. These multiple water spray holes 12 are evenly distributed. A pre-cleaning component 1 is provided at the inlet of the housing 3. Two support rollers 8 are located inside the housing 3 on the side of the pre-cleaning component 1 away from the inlet of the housing 3. Each end of the support rollers 8 is equipped with a spring support component 2. During use, the fabric is moved and conveyed by a conveying roller or a take-up roller. The fabric continuously enters from the inlet of the housing 3 and exits from the outlet of the housing 3. During this process, the fabric passes through the pre-cleaning component 1, and the pre-cleaning component 1 cleans the two sides of the fabric. Lint and impurities are removed to prevent them from affecting the subsequent cleaning effect. This pre-treatment of the fabric before cleaning effectively reduces the cleaning load and improves the overall cleaning effect of the fabric surface. After being pre-cleaned by the pre-cleaning component 1, the fabric slides against the top of the two support rollers 8, which guide and support the fabric. The water inlet pipe 5 is connected to an external water pump, which intermittently introduces cleaning water into the spray plate 4 through the water pump and the water inlet pipe 5. The cleaning water is then evenly sprayed onto the fabric through the liquid passage chamber 11 and multiple spray holes 12, thus cleaning the fabric. The intermittent impact force of the water flow gives the fabric and support rollers 8 a certain downward impact. The elastic support component 2 pushes the support rollers 8 upward, causing the fabric to vibrate. This makes it less likely for dirt and impurities to remain on the fabric surface, further improving the cleaning effect, increasing cleaning efficiency, and saving cleaning water.
[0027] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, it is worth noting that the pre-cleaning component 1 includes two cooperating cleaning rollers 101 located at the inlet of the outer casing 3. Both ends of the cleaning rollers 101 are fixed with a first end shaft 104 arranged coaxially with the cleaning rollers 101. The first end shaft 104 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the outer casing 3. The side of the cleaning rollers 101 is fixed with protrusions 102 arranged along the length of the cleaning rollers 101. Multiple protrusions 102 are provided and the multiple protrusions 102 are arranged in a ring. Adhesive strips 103 are attached and fixed to the side of the protrusions 102. The adhesive strips 103 can be weak adhesive strips. The fabric passes between the two cleaning rollers 101. The two opposing adhesive strips 103 on the two cleaning rollers 101 adhere and clean the lint and impurities on both sides of the fabric. The weak adhesive strips 103 will not damage the fabric surface and avoid affecting the subsequent cleaning effect. Thus, the fabric is pre-treated before cleaning, which effectively reduces the cleaning load of the subsequent cleaning and improves the overall cleaning effect of the fabric surface.
[0028] Further as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that a servo motor 6 is fixed on the outer wall of the outer casing 3. The output end of the servo motor 6 is fixed to the first end shaft 104 on one end of one of the cleaning rollers 101. Gears 105 are fixed on the first end shafts 104 on the same side of both cleaning rollers 101, and the two gears 105 mesh with each other. When the adhesive strip 103 on one of the protrusions 102 is too dirty, the servo motor 6 is started to work. The output end of the servo motor 6 drives one of the cleaning rollers 101 to rotate, thereby driving the two cleaning rollers 101 to rotate synchronously through the cooperation of the two gears 105, so as to replace different adhesive strips 103 to clean the fabric.
[0029] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, it is worth noting that the spring support assembly 2 includes a groove 202 opened on the side of the outer shell 3. Both ends of the support roller 8 are fixed with a second end shaft 201 inserted into the groove 202. A spring 203 is provided inside the groove 202, and both ends of the spring 203 are fixed to the bottom side of the groove 202 and the side of the second end shaft 201, respectively. The intermittent impact force of the water flow gives the fabric and the support roller 8 a certain downward impact. The spring 203 elastically pushes the second end shaft 201 upward, thereby causing the support roller 8 to vibrate and the fabric to vibrate. This makes it less likely for dirt and impurities to remain on the surface of the fabric, further improving the cleaning effect on the fabric, increasing cleaning efficiency and saving cleaning time.
[0030] This solution has the following working process: The fabric continuously enters from the inlet of the outer shell 3 and exits from the outlet of the outer shell 3. During this process, the fabric passes between the two cleaning rollers 101. The two opposing adhesive strips 103 on the two cleaning rollers 101 adhere and remove the lint and impurities on both sides of the fabric, avoiding affecting the subsequent cleaning effect. The weak adhesive strips 103 will not damage the fabric surface, thus pre-treating the fabric before cleaning. The cleaning water is intermittently introduced into the interior of the spray plate 4 through the water pump and the water inlet pipe 5, and the cleaning water is evenly sprayed onto the fabric through the liquid passage chamber 11 and multiple spray holes 12, thereby cleaning the fabric. The intermittent impact force of the water flow gives the fabric and the support roller 8 a certain downward impact. The spring 203 elastically pushes the second end shaft 201 upward, thereby causing the support roller 8 to vibrate, which in turn causes the fabric to vibrate, making it less likely for dirt and impurities to remain on the fabric surface.
[0031] Further as Figure 6 As shown, it is worth noting that the adhesive strip 103 is arranged along the length of the convex strip 102 and is of the same length as the convex strip 102. The adhesive strip 103 is attached and fixed to the side of the convex strip 102 by a Velcro structure. When the adhesive strip 103 is too dirty, it can be easily peeled off for cleaning and replacement by the Velcro structure.
[0032] Further as Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that a drain pipe 10 communicating with the interior of the outer shell 3 is fixed on the bottom outer wall of the outer shell 3, and multiple symmetrically distributed support rods 7 are fixed on the bottom outer wall of the outer shell 3. In actual operation, the drain pipe 10 facilitates the drainage of water accumulated inside the outer shell 3 and makes it easy to collect.
[0033] In summary: The pre-cleaning component 1 removes lint and impurities from both sides of the fabric, preventing them from affecting the subsequent cleaning effect. This pre-treatment of the fabric before cleaning effectively reduces the cleaning load and improves the overall cleaning effect of the fabric surface. After being pre-cleaned by the pre-cleaning component 1, the fabric slides and adheres to the top of the two support rollers 8, which guide and support the fabric. The water inlet pipe 5 is connected to a water pump, which intermittently introduces cleaning water into the spray plate 4 through the pump and the water inlet pipe 5. The cleaning water is then evenly sprayed onto the fabric through the liquid passage chamber 11 and multiple spray holes 12, thus cleaning the fabric. The intermittent impact force of the water flow applies downward pressure to the fabric and support rollers 8. The elastic support component 2 pushes the support rollers 8 upward, causing the fabric to vibrate. This makes it less likely for dirt and impurities to remain on the fabric surface, further improving the cleaning effect, increasing cleaning efficiency, and saving cleaning water.
[0034] The servo motor 6 and the water pump can be purchased commercially. The servo motor 6 and the water pump are equipped with power supplies. They are mature technologies in this field and have been fully disclosed. Therefore, they will not be described again in the specification.
