Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fabric softening technology, and in particular to a fabric softening device. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing fabrics are materials used to make trousers, clothes, and other garments. They not only define the style and characteristics of clothing but also directly influence the color and shape of the garment, resulting in a perfect, soft feel. In the vast world of clothing, fabrics are incredibly diverse and constantly evolving. However, generally speaking, high-quality, high-end fabrics typically possess characteristics such as comfortable wear, breathability, a luxurious appearance, and a soft touch. But fabrics are often quite stiff when produced, and they generally undergo processes such as weaving, dyeing, and heat treatment. Before garment production, the fabric needs to be softened, requiring softening equipment.

[0003] Most existing fabric softening equipment does not have a mixing mechanism. When a softener is added to the softening equipment, it cannot dissolve evenly in warm water, which may result in some areas of the fabric being under-softened or over-softened, affecting the comfort and appearance of the garment.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a fabric softening device, including a softening chamber 1, a fabric inlet 2 on one side of the softening chamber 1, a power supply component 3 on the top of the softening chamber 1, guide rollers 4 symmetrically arranged inside the softening chamber 1, a stirring and mixing component 5 on the top of the softening chamber 1, a soaking time adjustment component 6 inside the softening chamber 1, and a squeezing component 7 on the other side of the softening chamber 1.

[0032] The mixing assembly 5 includes a mixing chamber 51, which is located at the top of the softening chamber 1. The top of the mixing chamber 51 has a feed inlet 52, and a U-shaped plate 53 is located at the top of the mixing chamber 51 near the feed inlet 52. A first motor 54 is located at the top of the U-shaped plate 53, and the output end of the first motor 54 is connected to the main mixing shaft 55. The main mixing shaft 55 has several main mixing blades 56, and the mixing chamber 51 has symmetrically arranged auxiliary mixing shafts 57, with the main mixing shaft 55 located between the two auxiliary mixing shafts 57. The auxiliary mixing shafts 57 have several auxiliary mixing blades 58, and the main mixing shaft 55 has a connecting mechanism. The main mixing blades 56 and auxiliary mixing blades 58 are used to mix the softener in the mixing chamber 51, so that the softener can be better and more evenly dissolved in the warm water, thus preventing the fabric from being under-softened or over-softened in some areas.

[0033] The connecting mechanism includes a first spur gear 59, which is mounted on the main stirring shaft 55. A second spur gear 510 is mounted on the auxiliary stirring shaft 57. The first spur gear 59 and the second spur gear 510 mesh with each other. The first spur gear 59 and the second spur gear 510 are located inside the U-shaped plate 53. The main stirring shaft 55 drives the first spur gear 59 to rotate, and the first spur gear 59 drives the auxiliary stirring shaft 57 to rotate through the second spur gear 510, thereby realizing the transmission of motion.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the soaking time adjustment component 6 includes a lifting roller 61, square plates 62 on both sides of the lifting roller 61, a T-shaped plate 63 on the top of the square plates 62, and fixed plates 64 at both ends of the softening chamber 1. An electric push rod 65 is provided at the bottom of the fixed plate 64. The output end of the electric push rod 65 is fixedly connected to the T-shaped plate 63. The electric push rod 65 drives the T-shaped plate 63 to move, and the T-shaped plate 63 drives the lifting roller 61 to move up and down through the square plates 62. The lifting roller 61 drives the fabric to move, thereby changing the path of the fabric through the softening chamber and thus changing the soaking time of the fabric.

[0035] The softening chamber 1 has two sets of first limiting holes 66 symmetrically opened on the top. The first limiting holes 66 are slidably connected to the square plate 62 and guide the square plate 62 through the first limiting holes 66.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the extrusion assembly 7 includes an extrusion chamber 71, which is located on the other side of the softening chamber 1. A second motor 72 is provided on one side of the extrusion chamber 71. The output end of the second motor 72 is connected to a support roller 73, which is located inside the extrusion chamber 71. An extrusion roller 74 is provided above the support roller 73. A drive mechanism is provided at the top of the extrusion chamber 71. The fabric is extruded by the support roller 73 and the extrusion roller 74 to squeeze out the residual softener in the fabric and avoid waste of the softener.

[0037] The drive mechanism includes a motor mounting plate 75, which is located on the top of the extrusion chamber 71. A third motor 76 is located on the top of the motor mounting plate 75. The output end of the third motor 76 is connected to a lead screw 77. The lead screw 77 is threadedly connected to a U-shaped lifting plate 78. The U-shaped lifting plate 78 is rotatably connected to the extrusion roller 74. The third motor 76 drives the lead screw 77 to rotate, and the lead screw 77 drives the extrusion roller 74 to move through the U-shaped lifting plate 78, so that the support roller 73 and the extrusion roller 74 can extrude fabrics of different thicknesses.

[0038] A drain hole 79 is provided on the other side of the softening chamber 1, and the drain hole 79 is located inside the extrusion chamber 71. A second limiting hole 710 is symmetrically provided on the top of the extrusion chamber 71. The U-shaped lifting plate 78 is slidably connected to the second limiting hole 710. A fabric outlet 711 is provided at one end of the extrusion chamber 71. The U-shaped lifting plate 78 is guided through the second limiting hole 710.

[0039] During use, the operator adds the softener into the mixing chamber 51 through the feed inlet 52. Then, the first motor 54 is started, driving the main mixing shaft 55 to rotate. The main mixing shaft 55 drives several main mixing blades 56 to rotate. Simultaneously, the main mixing shaft 55 drives the second spur gear 510 to rotate via the first spur gear 59. The second spur gear 510 drives several auxiliary mixing blades 58 to rotate via the auxiliary mixing shaft 57. The main mixing blades 56 and auxiliary mixing blades 58 mix the softener in the mixing chamber 51, ensuring better and more even dissolution in the warm water. This prevents insufficient or excessive softening in certain areas of the fabric, thus maintaining comfort and aesthetics. Next, the switch below the mixing chamber 51 is turned on, adding the mixed softener solution into the softening chamber 1. Then, based on the fabric soaking time, the electric push rod 65 is activated. The electric push rod 65 drives the T-shaped plate 63 to move, which in turn moves through the square plate 62. The lifting roller 61 moves up and down along the first limiting hole 66, which in turn moves the fabric, thus changing the path of the fabric through the softening chamber 1 and altering the soaking time. This is suitable for different types of garment fabrics. The garment fabric is then inserted through the fabric inlet 2 and softened by the softening solution in the softening chamber 1. It then exits through the fabric outlet 711, passing between the support roller 73 and the squeeze roller 74. The support roller 73 and the squeeze roller 74 squeeze the fabric, expelling any remaining softening agent. When encountering fabrics of different thicknesses, the operator starts the third motor 76, which drives the lead screw 77 to rotate. The lead screw 77, through the U-shaped lifting plate 78, drives the squeeze roller 74, allowing the support roller 73 and the squeeze roller 74 to squeeze fabrics of different thicknesses. The squeezed-out softening agent flows back into the softening chamber 1 through the drain hole 79, preventing waste of the softening agent.

Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the technical description of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various alterations, modifications, and / or variations to this utility model, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
