Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile machinery technology, and specifically discloses a dual-circulation air duct structure for a pellet mill. Background Technology
[0002] The tasseling mill is a key piece of equipment in textile finishing, used to tassel and dry the surface of fabrics. There are two existing drying methods for tasseling mills: one is to heat external air through a radiator or natural gas combustion chamber before sending it into the tasseling mill; the other is to guide the air inside the tasseling mill to a radiator or natural gas combustion chamber, reheat it, and then send it into the tasseling mill.
[0003] Because the sizing drum of a circulating sizing machine is a long cylinder, the above two methods make it difficult to ensure that the fabric inside the sizing machine is heated evenly, which affects the finished product quality. Therefore, a dual-circulation air duct structure for the sizing machine is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-8A dual-circulation air duct structure for a granulator includes a housing 1. Inside the housing 1, there is an upper granulator cover 7 and a lower granulator cover 11. Inside the upper granulator cover 7 and the lower granulator cover 11, there are an upper granulator 9 and a lower granulator 12, respectively. A circulation air outlet 5 is provided on the front side inside the housing 1. The outer walls of the upper granulator cover 7 and the lower granulator cover 11 are respectively provided with an upper circulation air outlet 6 and a lower circulation air outlet 4 communicating with the circulation air outlet 5. A circulation air inlet duct 10 is provided on the rear side inside the housing 1. A radiator 2 is installed on the upper end face of the housing 1. Two circulation fans 3 with air outlets communicating with the radiator 2 are installed on the upper end face of the housing 1. The air inlets of the circulation fans 3 are connected to the circulation air inlet duct 10. Inside the circulation air inlet duct 10, there are two inclined filter components 8 detachably connected by a snap-fit mechanism. The outer wall of the filter components 8 is provided with a cleaning mechanism.
[0026] In this embodiment: the present invention uses a dual-circulation fan 3 to draw air from inside the granulator, and after reheating, the air enters the upper granulator cover 7 and the lower granulator cover 11 respectively to form a dual-circulation airflow, so that the hot air is blown directly into the inside of the granulator, and then enters the air inlet of the circulating fan 3 from both ends and the bottom of the granulator to realize hot air circulation. This hot air circulation method saves heating energy consumption and reduces the fabric waste rate caused by temperature difference. In addition, the detachable filter assembly 8 can filter and clean the fluff in the device, providing a solid guarantee for the stability of the product.
[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the snap-fit mechanism includes a fixed frame 801 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circulating air inlet duct 10. The inner wall of the fixed frame 801 is provided with a filter body 802. The filter body 802 includes a frame and a filter. Slide grooves 807 are provided at the four corners of the outer wall of the frame. A first snap rod 808 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 807. A first snap hole 810 matching the first snap rod 808 is provided through the outer wall of the fixed frame 801. A first spring 809 is provided inside the slide groove 807.
[0028] In this embodiment: When disassembling the filter body 802, press the first locking rod 808 inward to disengage it from the first locking hole 810, thus removing the filter body 802 for easy cleaning; during installation, press the first locking rod 808 inward and compress the first spring 809 to install the filter body 802 in the corresponding slot of the fixing frame 801, aligning the first locking rod 808 with the first locking hole 810. At this time, under the elastic force of the first spring 809, the first locking rod 808 engages in the first locking hole 810, fixing the filter body 802, making installation and disassembly convenient.
[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the cleaning mechanism includes two limiting frames 803 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame. A portal frame 805 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the two limiting frames 803. A cleaning brush 806, which abuts against the filter body 802, is provided on the inner wall of the portal frame 805. A cavity 811 is opened inside the portal frame 805. Two second limiting rods 812 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 811. Slide plates 813 are slidably connected to both ends of the outer walls of the two second limiting rods 812. The outer walls of the two opposing slide plates 813 are fixedly connected with second locking rods 814 extending to the outside of the gantry frame 805. The outer wall of the limiting frame 803 is provided with a second locking hole 815 that matches the second locking rod 814. The outer walls of the two second limiting rods 812 are fitted with second springs 816 located between the two slide plates 813. The gantry frame 805 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 817. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 817 is fixedly connected with two pull ropes 818 that are respectively fixedly connected to the two slide plates 813.
[0030] In this embodiment: when cleaning the filter body 802, the handle 819 rotates the shaft 817, which in turn pulls the two slide plates 813 relative to each other via the pull rope 818, compressing the second spring 816 and causing the two second locking rods 814 to disengage from the second locking holes 815. Then, the handle 819 pushes the gantry frame 805 to slide back and forth along the limiting frame 803, thereby driving the cleaning brush 806 to move back and forth to clean the lint filtered out on the filter body 802. After cleaning, the second locking rods 814 are aligned with the second locking holes 815, and the handle 819 is released. Under the elastic force of the second spring 816, the second locking rods 814 are locked into the second locking holes 815, thus fixing the gantry frame 805. Cleaning the filter body 802 is convenient.
[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the inner wall of the limiting frame 803 is fixedly connected with a first limiting rod 804 that is slidably connected to the portal frame 805.
[0032] In this embodiment: the first limiting rod 804 facilitates the limiting of the gantry frame 805, so that the movement of the gantry frame 805 is stable.
[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, one end of the rotating shaft 817 extends to the outside of the gantry frame 805 and is fixedly connected to a handle 819.
[0034] In this embodiment, a handle 819 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 817 to facilitate the rotation of the rotating shaft 817.
[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the housing 1 is provided with a sealing door that is connected to the circulating air inlet duct 10.
[0036] In this embodiment, a sealing door communicating with the circulating air inlet duct 10 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 1, which facilitates the opening of the sealing door to disassemble and clean the filter body 802.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: This utility model uses a dual-circulation fan 3 to draw air from inside the granulator. After reheating, the air enters the upper granulator cover 7 and the lower granulator cover 11 respectively to form a dual-circulation airflow, so that the hot air is directly blown into the inside of the granulator. Then, the hot air enters the air inlet of the circulating fan 3 from both ends and the bottom of the granulator to achieve hot air circulation. This hot air circulation method saves heating energy consumption and reduces the fabric waste rate caused by temperature difference. In addition, the detachable filter assembly 8 can filter and clean the fluff inside the device, providing a solid guarantee for the stability of the product.
