Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fabric processing equipment, specifically a fabric pin dryer. Background Technology

[0002] Fabric drying technology refers to drying damp fabrics by passing them through hot air or other heat sources, causing the moisture in the fabric to evaporate and achieving rapid drying. This process is often used in the post-processing of fabric manufacturing. Current technology typically uses mesh belt dryers for fabric drying. However, in some special processing steps (such as coating and laminating processes), mesh belt dryers cannot completely lay the fabric flat. The fabric is prone to folding and bending during the drying process, and uneven drying may affect the fabric quality, requiring improvement. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a fabric pin dryer.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A fabric pin clamp drying machine includes a chain conveyor mechanism, pin clamps, a fabric feeding mechanism, a fabric unloading mechanism, and a drying chamber. The chain conveyor mechanism includes two annular chains extending along the fabric feeding direction and arranged opposite each other, sprockets cooperating with the chains, and a drive motor driving the sprockets to rotate. Several pin clamps are provided, evenly arranged on the sides of the chains and facing opposite directions. The fabric feeding mechanism includes a first brush wheel and a fabric feeding motor. The first brush wheel is rotatably disposed above the front end of the chain conveyor mechanism and can contact the top surface of the pin clamps located above it. Both sides of the fabric pass through the pin clamps and the first brush wheel and are hung on the pin clamps. The fabric feeding motor drives the first brush wheel to rotate. The fabric unloading mechanism is located below the chain conveyor mechanism to unload the fabric from the pin clamps. The drying chamber is arranged outside the chain conveyor mechanism along the fabric feeding direction. The fabric passes through the drying chamber above the chain, flips with the pin clamps, and then returns to the drying chamber below the chain for secondary drying.

[0006] Preferably, the fabric dropping mechanism includes a fabric dropping roller, a mesh belt conveyor, and a fabric rolling machine. The fabric dropping roller is located below the chain conveyor mechanism, with its rotation axis higher than the pin at the bottom of the chain and its lowest point lower than the pin at the bottom of the chain. The mesh belt conveyor is located below the fabric dropping roller and passes through the drying chamber to transport the fabric backward. The fabric rolling machine is located behind the mesh belt conveyor to receive and roll up the fabric.

[0007] Preferably, the input and output ends of the mesh belt conveyor are both located outside the drying chamber, and the cloth dropping roller is located outside the drying chamber and is on the side close to the cloth feeding mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, it further includes a tracking mechanism, which includes a base, a slide, a rack, a gear, and a tracking motor. The base is disposed below the sprocket; the slide extends perpendicular to the fabric conveying direction and is movably disposed on the base, and the sprocket and the fabric feeding mechanism are arranged on the slide; the rack is arranged on the slide along the extension direction of the slide; the gear is disposed on the base and meshes with the rack; the tracking motor drives the gear to rotate to move the slide to track the fabric.

[0009] Preferably, the tracking mechanism further includes a sensor probe and a controller. The sensor probe is positioned above the chain conveyor and on both sides of the fabric to monitor the movement of the fabric on both sides. The controller is connected to the tracking motor and the sensor probe respectively, and controls the tracking motor to rotate forward and backward according to the signal fed back by the sensor probe.

[0010] Preferably, a pair of mounting plates are provided on the slide, and the two sprockets are respectively disposed on the opposite surfaces of the two mounting plates. The upper fabric mechanism is disposed on the mounting plates and extends above the chain.

[0011] Preferably, the fabric feeding mechanism further includes a second brush wheel, which is also rotatably mounted above the chain conveyor mechanism, located on the same vertical plane as the first brush wheel and behind the first brush wheel.

[0012] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: when the two sides of the fabric pass between the pin and the first brush wheel, they are fixed on the pin by the downward pressure of the first brush wheel, which can ensure the flatness of the fabric in the early stage of drying, improve the drying effect, and ensure that the coating film on the fabric does not completely deform due to folding, thus having high practicality.

[0013] The fabric feeding mechanism is located below the chain conveyor. It presses the fabric off the pins located below and then transports it back to the drying chamber via a mesh belt conveyor. Drying the fabric on the mesh belt ensures its natural properties. Furthermore, the mesh belt conveyor is located below the chain conveyor, with their travel paths partially overlapping, making efficient use of space and reducing the equipment's footprint.

[0014] The tracking mechanism ensures that the sprocket, chain, and fabric feeding mechanism can move left and right as the fabric is fed, ensuring that the pins are always fixed at the edge of the fabric. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a fabric needle 2 drying machine includes a chain conveyor mechanism 1, needle 2, fabric feeding mechanism 3, fabric dropping mechanism 4, drying chamber 5, and tracking mechanism 6.

[0023] The chain conveyor mechanism 1 includes two annular chains 11 extending along the fabric conveying direction and arranged opposite to each other, sprockets 12 cooperating with the chains, and a drive motor for driving the sprockets 12 to rotate; a number of pin clips 2 are provided, evenly arranged on the side of the chain and facing opposite directions.

[0024] The fabric feeding mechanism 3 includes a first brush wheel 31, a fabric feeding motor 32, and a second brush wheel 33. The first brush wheel 31 is rotatably mounted above the front end of the chain conveyor mechanism 1 and can contact the top surface of the pin 2 located above it. The fabric passes through the pin 2 and the first brush wheel 31 on both sides and hangs on the pin 2. The fabric feeding motor 32 drives the first brush wheel 31 to rotate. The second brush wheel 33 is also rotatably mounted above the chain conveyor mechanism 1, located on the same vertical plane as the first brush wheel 31 and behind the first brush wheel 31. The second brush wheel 33 is driven and has no driving force, and is used to assist in fixing the fabric on the pin 2.

[0025] The fabric unloading mechanism 4 is located below the chain conveyor mechanism 1 to unload the fabric from the pin clips 2. The fabric unloading mechanism 4 includes a fabric unloading roller 41, a mesh belt conveyor 42, and a fabric winding machine 43. The fabric unloading roller 41 is located below the chain conveyor mechanism 1, with its rotation axis higher than the pin clips 2 at the bottom of the chain and its lowest point lower than the pin clips 2 at the bottom of the chain. The mesh belt conveyor 42 is located below the fabric unloading roller 41 and passes through the drying chamber 5 to convey the fabric backward. The fabric winding machine 43 is located behind the mesh belt conveyor 42 to receive and wind up the fabric. Specifically, the input and output ends of the mesh belt conveyor 42 are both located outside the drying chamber 5, and the fabric unloading roller 41 is located outside the drying chamber 5 and closer to the fabric loading mechanism 3. The fabric dropping mechanism 4 is located below the chain conveyor mechanism 1. It presses the fabric off the pins 2 located below and then transports it back to the drying chamber via the mesh belt conveyor 42. Drying the fabric on the mesh belt ensures the natural properties of the fabric. The mesh belt conveyor 42 is located below the chain conveyor mechanism 1, and the two overlap in their travel, making reasonable use of space and reducing the space occupied by the equipment.

[0026] The drying chamber 5 is arranged along the fabric conveying direction. The chain conveyor mechanism 1 drives the fabric through the drying chamber 5 to dry it. After passing through the drying chamber 5 above the chain 11, the fabric is flipped by the pin 2 and then returns to the drying chamber 5 below the chain 11 for secondary drying. This ensures the flatness of the fabric in the initial drying stage and improves the drying effect. The drying chamber 5 is a common device in the art for drying moist fabric with hot air or other heat sources, and is not the focus of this application. Its structure and selection will not be further described here.

[0027] The tracking mechanism 6 includes a base 61, a slide 62, a rack 63, a gear 64, a tracking motor 65, a sensor probe 66, and a controller. The base 61 is located below the sprocket 12. The slide 62 extends perpendicular to the fabric conveying direction and is movably mounted on the base 61. The sprocket 12 and the fabric feeding mechanism 3 are arranged on the slide 62. The rack 63 is arranged on the slide 62 along its extension direction. The gear 64 is mounted on the base 61 and meshes with the rack 63. The tracking motor 65 drives the gear 64 to rotate, thereby moving the slide 62 to track the fabric. The sensor probe 66 is located above the chain conveyor 1 and on both sides of the fabric to monitor the movement of the fabric. The controller is connected to the tracking motor 65 and the sensor probe 66 respectively, and controls the forward and reverse rotation of the tracking motor 65 based on the signal fed back by the sensor probe 66. The tracking mechanism 6 ensures that the sprocket 12, chain, and fabric feeding mechanism 3 can move left and right during fabric conveying, ensuring that the pin 2 is always fixed at the edge of the fabric. Specifically, a pair of mounting plates 67 are provided on the slide table 62, and two sprockets 12 are respectively set on the opposite surfaces of the two mounting plates 67. The fabric feeding mechanism 3 is set on the mounting plate 67 and extends above the chain. Specifically, the sensing probe 66 is a photoelectric sensor used to detect changes in the position of the fabric edge. It is not the focus of this application, and its structure and selection will not be further described here.

[0028] In use, the starting device causes the sprocket 12 to drive the chain drive, and the fabric is spread out by the spreading device and then passes between the first brush wheel 31 and the second brush wheel 33 of the pin clip 2. The two sides of the fabric are fixed on the pin clip 2 by the action of the first brush wheel 31 and the second brush wheel 33 and are conveyed backward with the chain. After the fabric passes over the drying chamber 5 from above the chain 11 to complete the first drying, it is flipped down by the pin clip 2 to below the chain 11 and returns to the drying chamber 5 for the second drying. At this time, the fabric is conveyed back to the position before entering the drying chamber 5. The fabric drop roller 41 squeezes the fabric off the pin clip 2 and onto the mesh belt conveyor 42. The mesh belt conveyor 42 conveys the fabric back into the drying chamber 5 for the third drying. Finally, the fabric is wound up by the fabric winding machine 43 located at the end of the drying chamber 5. The first and second drying processes of this application are conveyed by pin 2 to ensure the flatness of the fabric in the early stage of drying, improve the drying effect, and ensure that the coating film on the fabric does not completely deform due to heat due to folding. The third drying process is carried out by mesh belt conveying to ensure the natural properties of the fabric. Moreover, the stroke of the mesh belt conveyor 42 overlaps with the first drying process, making reasonable use of space and reducing the space occupied by the equipment, which has high practicality.

All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application and the contents of the specification of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the patent of the present utility model.
