[0002] Currently, yarns often contain a lot of moisture after dyeing, washing, or getting damp, so airflow towers are used for drying. However, current airflow towers have a simple structure and can only dry the yarn with hot air, which cannot squeeze out the excess water from the yarn, thus affecting the drying efficiency. Furthermore, it is quite troublesome to take out and load the yarn, which also affects work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a multifunctional airflow tower for textiles, comprising an upper shell and a lower shell, wherein the upper shell and the lower shell are combined to form an airflow pipe, and end plates are installed at both ends of the upper shell and the lower shell. The vertically opposite end plates are fitted together, and each end plate is provided with an arc-shaped groove. The opposite arc-shaped grooves are combined to form wiring holes. Multiple pressure rods are provided inside the upper shell and the lower shell, and the pressure rods are combined to form a squeezing channel for squeezing out the moisture inside the yarn.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution, an air inlet pipe is installed at one end of both the upper and lower shells, and an air outlet pipe is installed at the end of the lower shell away from the air inlet pipe. The air outlet pipe is inclined, and the end of the air outlet pipe where the air inlet pipe is installed is higher than the end where the air outlet pipe is installed.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the inner wall of the arc groove is provided with multiple ball grooves, which are distributed in a "C" shape.

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0020] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0021] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features for a similar purpose, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a multifunctional airflow tower for textiles, comprising an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2. The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are combined to form an airflow pipe. Both ends of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are equipped with end plates 9, which are vertically opposite and fitted together. Each end plate 9 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 10, which are combined to form wiring holes. The interior of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 is provided with multiple pressure rods 11, which are combined to form a squeezing channel to squeeze out the moisture inside the yarn.

[0023] In this embodiment, an air inlet pipe 7 is installed at one end of both the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, and an air outlet pipe 8 is installed at the end of the lower shell 2 away from the air inlet pipe 7. The air outlet pipe is inclined, and the end of the air outlet pipe where the air inlet pipe 7 is installed is higher than the end where the air outlet pipe 8 is installed.

[0024] In this embodiment, multiple ball grooves are provided on the inner wall surface of the arc groove 10. The multiple ball grooves are distributed in a "C" shape. A ball bearing 13 is movably installed in each ball groove. A part of the ball bearing 13 extends to the outside along the opening of the ball groove. The inner diameter of the wiring hole is larger than the width of the extrusion channel. The friction between the ball bearing and the yarn is reduced by the rotating ball bearing.

[0025] In this embodiment, multiple support rods 5 are installed on the lower shell 2, and a base plate 6 is installed on the other end of the support rods 5.

[0026] In this embodiment, bearings are embedded at both ends of the pressure rod 11, and a shaft 12 is installed in the inner ring of each bearing. The other end of the shaft 12 is installed on the inner wall of the airflow pipe, so that the pressure rod can rotate smoothly along the bearing. The friction between the pressure rod and the yarn is reduced by rotating.

[0027] In this embodiment, the wiring holes are all centrally located at the center of the airflow pipe, so that the yarn can pass through the airflow pipe in a centered position.

[0028] In this embodiment, the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are fixedly connected on one side by a hinge, and the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are fixedly connected on the other side by a buckle 4. The buckle fixation method facilitates the opening and closing of the upper shell.

[0029] In this embodiment, a rubber layer 3 is provided on the end face of the lower half shell 2 facing the upper half shell 1. The upper half shell 1 and the lower half shell 2 are sealed by the rubber layer 3. Multiple positioning parts are protruded on one side of the rubber layer 3. Positioning holes 14 are provided on the end face of the lower half shell 2 directly opposite the positioning parts. The positioning parts are all inserted into the positioning holes 14.

[0030] The rubber layer can be removed from the lower shell after the upper shell is opened, making it easy to replace the rubber layer.

[0031] When in use, open the buckle. The upper shell can then be opened, allowing the yarn to be placed into the pressure bar and the arc-shaped groove of the lower shell. As the upper shell closes, the pressure bar, which comes together from above and below, presses down on the yarn. The closed arc-shaped groove limits the two ends of the yarn, placing it centrally inside the airflow tube. One end of the yarn is connected to the winding mechanism, so the yarn is in a moving state. During this movement, the yarn comes into contact with the ball bearings. The rotation of the ball bearings reduces the friction between the yarn and the arc-shaped groove. When the yarn passes through the pressure bar, the pressure bar also rotates, reducing the friction between the yarn and the pressure bar. The pressure of the pressure bar squeezes out excess water from inside the yarn. The squeezed water falls into the lower shell and is discharged through the air outlet pipe by the inclined airflow tube.

[0032] The air inlet pipe can be connected to a hot air blower, which is controlled by a thermostat. The hot air generated by the hot air blower can be directly blown into the airflow pipe. The hot air enters and contacts the yarn axially until it is discharged from the air outlet pipe. Since the gap between the wiring hole and the yarn is small, while the diameter of the air outlet pipe is large, the obstruction (resistance) to the gas flow is smaller. Therefore, the airflow tends to pass through in large quantities through the path with less resistance (large hole).

[0033] The convective hot air not only dries the water but also blows away any remaining water, allowing it to flow along the pipe wall towards the lower end until it is discharged from the exhaust pipe. This increases the dryness of the interior with less moisture, ensuring the quality of the drying process.

[0034] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
