Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment processing technology, specifically, a steam jetting device for garment processing. Background Technology

[0002] Steam jet finishing is a process that uses high-temperature steam to treat garments, primarily for removing wrinkles, shaping, cleaning, and improving fabric texture. This process utilizes the high temperature and moisture of steam to relax the fibers, thereby restoring the garment's smoothness and luster.

[0003] Steam injection finishing typically uses specialized equipment such as steam jet machines, steam irons, or automatic steam presses. The moisturizing effect of steam softens fabric fibers, removes wrinkles and stains, and significantly improves the appearance and feel of garments. It is especially suitable for fabrics that are difficult to iron or easily damaged, such as natural fibers like wool, silk, cotton, and linen. Compared to traditional dry ironing, steam injection is gentler, less likely to damage fabrics, and effectively avoids the burns caused by direct contact with high temperatures.

[0004] In the garment production process, the garments need to be thoroughly cleaned before leaving the factory to ensure they are free of wrinkles and odors. This requires steam spraying to bring the garments up to factory standards. However, existing steam spraying devices may experience condensation as the steam flows through the pipes. This condensation then sprays out from the nozzles, resulting in insufficient overall steam processing quality and causing the garments to become overly wet, making subsequent drying difficult. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steam jetting device for garment processing, which solves the problem that existing steam jetting devices have condensate directly discharged from the nozzle, resulting in low processing quality and excessively wet clothes.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a steam jetting device for garment processing, comprising:

[0007] A steam processing box for steam spraying garments includes a box body with two symmetrically arranged spray sections mounted on the box body. Each spray section includes a water storage tank and a spray box. A main pipe is mounted on the spray box and connected to a steam generator. The main pipe has multiple branch pipes, and each branch pipe has multiple collection pipes. The ends of the collection pipes are connected to nozzles, which are mounted on the spray box. Each collection pipe has a bend that is lower than the corresponding branch pipe and nozzle. The main pipe is connected to the water storage tank, which has multiple guide pipes that are connected to the bends of the collection pipes.

[0008] A transfer assembly for moving garments includes a garment hanging rack and a drive unit for moving the garment hanging rack.

[0009] To better realize this utility model, the box body is further provided with a reserved gap for the movement and entry / exit of the garment hanging rack, and a shielding strip is provided on the reserved gap.

[0010] To better realize this utility model, the driving part further includes a guide rail, on which multiple sliders are slidably connected, and a rotating shaft is mounted on each slider. The rotating shaft is detachably connected to the garment hanging rack.

[0011] To better realize this utility model, the drive unit further includes a gear and a rack, the rack is mounted on the guide rail, the gear is mounted on the rotating shaft, and the gear meshes with the rack.

[0012] To better realize this utility model, the driving unit further includes a fitting frame, a fitting roller, and a limiting plate. The fitting frame is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, the fitting roller is mounted on the fitting frame, the limiting plate is mounted on the guide rail, and a limiting groove is provided on the limiting plate. The fitting roller cooperates with the limiting groove.

[0013] To better realize this utility model, a sealing plate is detachably connected to the limiting plate by bolts, and the sealing plate is used to seal the end of the limiting groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) By setting up a collection pipe and a diversion pipe, when the condensate in the steam flows to the lowest turning point on the collection pipe, the condensate flows to the diversion pipe and finally drips down the pipe wall into the water storage tank. This ensures that the generated condensate is completely collected instead of being sprayed onto the clothing from the nozzle, thus ensuring the quality of steam processing and preventing the clothing from becoming too wet.

[0016] (2) By setting up a drive unit, the present invention uses gears and racks to make the garment move and rotate at the same time, so that the nozzle can steam treat the garment in all directions and improve the processing quality; at the same time, the use of limiting plates and fitting frames makes the garment move without shaking, improving stability and making it easier to pick up and take off the garment; at the same time, the width of the reserved seam is reduced to reduce steam loss.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] This embodiment provides a steam jetting device for garment processing, specifically as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, it includes:

[0029] A steam processing box 10, used for steam spraying clothing, includes a box body 101. Two sets of symmetrically arranged spray sections are installed on the box body 101. Each spray section includes a water storage tank 102 and a spray box 103. A main pipe 106 is installed on the spray box 103, and the main pipe 106 is externally connected to a steam generator. The steam generator is a commercially available product and will not be described in detail here. Multiple branch pipes 107 are provided on the main pipe 106, and multiple collection pipes 109 are provided on the branch pipes 107. The ends of the collection pipes 109 are connected to nozzles 105, which are installed on the spray box 103. The collection pipes 109 have a bend, which is lower than the corresponding branch pipe 107 and nozzle 105. The main pipe 106 is connected to the water storage tank 102, and multiple guide pipes 108 are provided on the water storage tank 102. The guide pipes 108 are connected to the bends of the collection pipes 109.

[0030] The transfer assembly 20, used for moving clothing, includes a clothing hanging frame 202 and a drive unit for moving the clothing hanging frame 202.

[0031] The garment is fed into the housing 101 using the transfer component 20. During the air jet operation, the external steam generator is activated, and the steam is delivered to the main pipe 106. The steam then flows along the main pipe 106 to each branch pipe 107, and from the branch pipe 107 to each collection pipe 109. Finally, the steam is ejected from each nozzle 105. The ejected steam impacts the surface of the garment hanging on the garment hanging rack 202, thereby removing wrinkles, softening, and sterilizing the garment. Because a small amount of condensation may occur during the flow of steam to nozzle 105, when the steam condenses in main pipe 106, the condensate drips down the wall of main pipe 106 into water storage tank 102 under gravity. Since water storage tank 102 is completely sealed, steam will not flow out of it. Condensate in branch pipe 107 flows into collection pipe 109. When the condensate reaches the lowest bend in collection pipe 109, it flows to guide pipe 108 and finally drips down the wall of guide pipe 108 into water storage tank 102. This ensures that the generated condensate is completely collected and not sprayed onto the clothing from nozzle 105, thus preventing the clothing from becoming too wet. The condensate also does not affect the flow of steam. After the clothing is treated, it is removed using transfer assembly 20 for the next round of work. Workers can periodically drain the condensate from water storage tank 102 through the drain outlet.

[0032] In another specific embodiment, the housing 101 is provided with a reserved gap for the movement and entry / exit of the garment hanging rack 202, and a shielding strip 104 is provided on the reserved gap. The shielding strip 104 has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing the garment hanging rack 202 and garments to enter and exit, while effectively sealing the reserved gap to prevent excessive steam out or cold air inflow.

[0033] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] This embodiment further expands the transfer component 20 based on the above embodiment, specifically as follows: Figures 2-4 As shown, the drive unit includes a guide rail 206, on which multiple sliders 205 are slidably connected. A rotating shaft 201 is mounted on each slider 205, and the rotating shaft 201 is detachably connected to the garment hanging rack 202. The drive source is external; when the garment hanging rack 202 needs to be moved, only the drive source needs to be controlled to move the sliders 205. The movement of the sliders 205 will drive the rotating shaft 201, thereby moving the garment hanging rack 202, realizing the feeding and unloading of garments in the clothing store. This prevents personnel from being burned while handling garments.

[0036] Furthermore, the drive unit also includes a gear 207 and a rack 210. The rack 210 is mounted on the guide rail 206, and the gear 207 is mounted on the rotating shaft 201. The gear 207 meshes with the rack 210. When the slider 205 moves on the guide rail 206, the gear 207 begins to roll on the rack 210. Since the rack 210 is stationary, the gear 207 rotates. This causes the rotating shaft 201 to drive the garment hanging frame 202, which in turn drives the garment to rotate. This allows the nozzle 105 to steam treat the garment from all directions, improving processing quality.

[0037] Furthermore, the drive unit also includes a fitting frame 203, a fitting roller 204, and a limiting plate 208. The fitting frame 203 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 201, the fitting roller 204 is mounted on the fitting frame 203, and the limiting plate 208 is mounted on the guide rail 206. The limiting plate 208 is provided with a limiting groove, and the fitting roller 204 cooperates with the limiting groove. Before the garment hanging rack 202 enters the housing 101, the engaging roller 204 is already engaged in the limiting groove of the limiting plate 208 at this end, ensuring that the garment can enter the housing 101 laterally. After entering, the engaging roller 204 will disengage from the limiting plate 208, and then the gear 207 will mesh with the rack 210. Similarly, when the garment hanging rack 202 is about to leave the housing 101, the gear 207 disengages from the rack 210, and at this time the engaging roller 204 begins to engage in the limiting groove of the limiting plate 208. At this time, the engaging roller 204 is stuck by the limiting groove and can only move laterally, that is, the garment hanging rack 202 will not rotate. Therefore, when the garment leaves the housing 101, the space required will be smaller, thereby reducing the width of the reserved seam and reducing the amount of steam loss.

[0038] Furthermore, a sealing plate 209 is detachably connected to the limiting plate 208 via bolts. The sealing plate 209 is used to seal the end of the limiting slide groove. When the sealing plate 209 is not removed, the slider 205 can only move back and forth on the guide rail 206 to perform steam operation alone. After removing the sealing plate 209, the guide rail 206 and the limiting plate 208 can be connected to the corresponding parts of the previous and next stations of garment steam processing, respectively. That is, the slider 205 can slide from the previous station to the steam processing station and then slide to the next station, thus forming a complete processing production line and improving the overall processing efficiency.

[0039] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
