Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underwear processing technology, specifically to a conveying and flattening mechanism for underwear production. Background Technology

[0002] Underwear refers to clothing worn close to the skin, including thermal underwear, long johns, vests, and undershirts. It is usually in direct contact with the skin and is an essential garment for modern people. The underwear processing flow is divided into design, material selection, dyeing, drying, weaving, cutting, flattening, folding, and packaging. Flattening is a post-processing step. Flattened garments are smoother and can be packaged or stacked in the warehouse after folding.

[0003] Because some underwear, such as men's boxer briefs, uses cotton fabric that is prone to shrinking during transportation, it is easy to cause wrinkles during subsequent processing, affecting production quality and causing the garments to develop a lot of wrinkles during storage, greatly affecting their appearance.

[0004] Therefore, we proposed a conveying and flattening mechanism for underwear production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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] Example

[0027] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model proposes a conveying and flattening mechanism for underwear production, including a platform 1. An XY axis motion platform 2 and a hot pressing component 3 are respectively installed on the platform 1. The underwear fabric is placed on the XY axis motion platform 2. The Z-axis linear module 31 drives the steam box part to descend until it contacts the underwear fabric. The rectangular pressure ring 34 provides pressure to fix the edge of the underwear. Water mist is generated by the ultrasonic atomizing plate 37 in the water storage chamber 313 and blown into the guide chamber 314 by the waterproof fan 38. The heating rod 39 is used to heat the water mist and then spray hot steam from the steam nozzle 312 to perform ironing and flattening operation on the underwear fabric, so as to eliminate the internal stress of the fabric and prevent wrinkles from forming later.

[0028] The hot pressing assembly 3 includes a Z-axis linear module 31, a fixing plate 32, a steam box 33, and a rectangular pressure ring 34. The fixing plate 32 is mounted on the slide of the Z-axis linear module 31. The steam box 33 is embedded in the fixing plate 32. Guide rods 35 are embedded around the rectangular pressure ring 34, and telescopic springs 36 are fitted on the guide rods 35. The top of the guide rods 35 is movably connected to the fixing plate 32. An ultrasonic atomizing plate 37, a waterproof fan 38, a heating rod 39, and a temperature sensor 310 are respectively installed inside the steam box 33. A stainless steel plate 311 is installed at the bottom of the steam box 33, and both the stainless steel plate 311 and the bottom of the steam box 33 are provided with steam injection holes 312.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the hot pressing component 3 is located on the rear side of the XY axis motion platform 2, and the steam box 33 is located above the XY axis motion platform 2. The XY axis motion platform 2 is composed of linear modules in the X and Y axes. The X axis is responsible for left and right movement, and the Y axis is responsible for forward and backward movement. The two are vertically combined, which can perform precise position adjustment and motion control on a two-dimensional plane.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the rectangular pressure ring 34 is located directly below the steam box 33, and its inner length and width dimensions are larger than those of the steam box 33. When flattening the underwear, the rectangular pressure ring 34 provides a holding force to fix the edges of the underwear. The rectangular pressure ring 34 can adopt a contour design according to the appearance of the fabric. At the same time, under the action of the telescopic spring 36, the bottom of the steam box 33 passes through the inner ring of the rectangular pressure ring 34 to perform ironing and flattening operations on the underwear.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the steam box 33 is provided with a water storage chamber 313 and a flow guiding chamber 314, and a steam outlet 315 is provided on the adjacent side wall of the water storage chamber 313 and the flow guiding chamber 314. The water storage chamber 313 is used to store water, and the flow guiding chamber 314 is used to guide water vapor.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the ultrasonic atomizing plate 37 is installed in the water storage chamber 313, and the waterproof fan 38 is installed at the steam outlet 315. The ultrasonic atomizing plate 37 utilizes high-frequency electronic oscillation (oscillation frequency of 1.7MHz or 2.4MHz, which exceeds the range of human hearing and is harmless to humans and animals). Through the high-frequency resonance of the atomizing plate, the liquid water molecule structure is broken down to produce naturally drifting water mist, which is then blown into the guide chamber 314 from the steam outlet 315 by the waterproof fan 38.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a level gauge 316 is installed on the top of the water storage chamber 313, and a water inlet 317 is provided on the top of the water storage chamber 313. A cap 318 is threaded onto the water inlet 317. The core function of the level gauge 316 is to measure and monitor the height or position change of the liquid medium in the container in real time, so that people can understand the water level in a timely manner.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the heating rod 39 and the temperature probe 310 are respectively installed in the flow chamber 314, and the stainless steel plate 311 is fixed to the bottom of the flow chamber 314. The heating rod 39 is used to heat the water mist, and the temperature probe 310 is used to monitor the temperature inside the flow chamber 314, thereby indirectly obtaining the water mist temperature. Although there is a temperature deviation, it will not affect the ironing and pressing operation.

[0035] In use, the underwear fabric is placed on the XY axis motion platform 2. The Z-axis linear module 31 drives the steam box part to descend until it contacts the underwear fabric. The rectangular pressure ring 34 provides pressure to fix the edges of the underwear. Water mist is generated by the ultrasonic atomizing plate 37 in the water storage chamber 313 and blown into the guide chamber 314 by the waterproof fan 38. The heating rod 39 is used to heat the water mist and then hot steam is sprayed out from the steam nozzle 312 to iron and flatten the underwear fabric, thereby eliminating the internal stress of the fabric and preventing wrinkles from forming later.

[0036] In summary, the underwear fabric is placed on the XY axis motion platform 2, and the Z-axis linear module 31 drives the steam box part to descend until it contacts the underwear fabric. The rectangular pressure ring 34 provides holding force to fix the edges of the underwear. Water mist is generated by the ultrasonic atomizing plate 37 in the water storage chamber 313 and blown into the guide chamber 314 by the waterproof fan 38. The heating rod 39 is used to heat the water mist, and then hot steam is sprayed out from the steam nozzle 312 to iron and flatten the underwear fabric, thereby eliminating the internal stress of the fabric and preventing wrinkles from forming later.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
