Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foreign fiber sorting technology, and more specifically to a foreign fiber sorting device for the textile industry. Background Technology
[0002] Foreign fiber sorting devices are widely used in textiles, plastic recycling, and other fields. Their core function is to accurately identify and remove non-target fibers such as hair, plastic filaments, and rope ends from raw materials using technologies such as photoelectric detection and image recognition. For example, in the process of making cashmere products from raw cashmere to finished garments, the main steps include cashmere selection, washing, drying, combing, spinning, dyeing, weaving, and packaging.
[0003] After cashmere is sorted, washed, and dried, foreign fibers (synthetic fibers) from the transportation process may remain in the cashmere. Since these fibers are not dyed during the printing and dyeing process, this results in discoloration in the dyed cashmere yarn, affecting the final garment quality. Therefore, a foreign fiber sorting device is needed for sorting. For example, there is a cotton foreign fiber sorting device with prior art publication number CN220836704U.
[0004] However, the existing technology described above still has the following problems when in use: when using a conveyor belt to transport textile fibers, some fibers will remain on the conveyor belt. As the working time increases, the fibers on the conveyor belt will accumulate more and more, making subsequent cleaning very time-consuming and labor-intensive, thus affecting sorting efficiency. Based on this, this utility model provides a foreign fiber sorting device for the textile industry. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides a foreign fiber sorting device for the textile industry. The sorting device automatically sorts foreign fibers through sorting components, which can effectively improve sorting efficiency. The height of the sorter can be automatically adjusted by an electric push rod, which can be adjusted according to the thickness of the textile fibers on the conveyor belt. At the same time, the use of rotating rollers and cleaning suction heads can clean up the residual broken fibers on the surface of the conveyor belt, avoiding pollution and waste, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
