Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile technology, and in particular to a moisture-removing and mildew-preventing structure for a yarn steaming room. Background Technology

[0002] In the spinning process, the purpose of the steaming process in the steaming workshop is to stabilize the yarn twist and reduce backtwist. By controlling the moisture regain accuracy through steaming, the mechanical properties of the yarn are further improved, increasing breaking strength and elongation at break, and reducing hairiness.

[0003] However, the steaming temperature is usually high, and the steaming machine contains a large amount of water vapor. In actual use, when the steaming machine is turned on after steaming, water vapor enters the steaming workshop. The ventilation efficiency of the steaming workshop is relatively low, resulting in high overall temperature and humidity. Under such conditions over a long period, large amounts of mold easily grow on the ceiling and side walls of the steaming workshop. This mold spreads in the air, causing mold spots on the yarn, affecting yarn quality. Simultaneously, the mold can corrode production equipment, shortening its lifespan. Furthermore, mold spores may cause respiratory illnesses among employees, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this invention provides a moisture-wicking and mildew-proof structure for a yarn steaming room. This structure can quickly discharge the large amount of water vapor generated when the yarn steaming machine is opened to the outside of the steaming workshop, thereby maintaining stable temperature and humidity in the workshop and preventing the growth of mold and other factors that could affect yarn quality.

[0005] This utility model discloses a dehumidification and mildew prevention structure for a yarn steaming room, including a yarn steaming workshop. A partition is installed above the interior of the workshop, with a gap between the partition and the top wall. Several yarn steaming machines are arranged at intervals on the bottom surface of the workshop. Through holes are opened on the partition directly above the yarn steaming machines. A downward-opening collection hood is installed between the partition and the top wall of the workshop, with the opening of the collection hood connecting to the through holes. The yarn steaming machines are located within the area directly below the through holes. A duct is installed on the top of the collection hood, extending to the outside of the workshop. A fan is installed on the duct outside the workshop. A temperature and humidity sensor is installed inside the collection hood. The system also includes a controller connected to the temperature and humidity sensor, the fan, and the yarn steaming machines.

[0006] The through hole is circular, and the collection cover is hemispherical.

[0007] Vertical guide rails are installed on the side walls of the steaming workshop between two adjacent steaming machines. A winding roller is rotatably installed between the side walls of the steaming workshop above the guide rails. A drive motor is installed on the side wall of the steaming workshop at one end of the winding roller. The drive motor is connected to the winding roller. A slider is installed on the guide rail. A counterweight is installed between two sliders on the same side of the steaming machine. An isolation film is wound on the winding roller. The lower end of the isolation film is connected to the counterweight roller.

[0008] A filter cover is installed at the end of the air duct outside the steaming workshop. One side of the filter cover is open, and a filter screen is installed at the opening of the filter cover.

[0009] The present invention provides a moisture-removing and mildew-proof structure for a yarn steaming room. By having the fan on the air duct open synchronously with the door of the yarn steaming machine, the water vapor from the yarn steaming machine is collected inside through the collection hood as it rises and is discharged to the outside through the air duct, thereby ensuring stable temperature and humidity in the yarn steaming workshop, avoiding the occurrence of mildew and improving yarn quality.

[0014] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0015] Example 1:

[0016] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model discloses a dehumidification and mildew prevention structure for a yarn steaming room, including a yarn steaming workshop 1. A partition 7 is installed above the interior of the yarn steaming workshop 1, with a gap between the partition 7 and the top wall 4 of the yarn steaming workshop 1. Several yarn steaming machines 2 are arranged at intervals on the bottom surface 5 of the yarn steaming workshop 1. Through holes 17 are opened on the partition 7 directly above the yarn steaming machines 2. A downward-opening collection cover 6 is installed between the partition 7 and the top wall 4 of the yarn steaming workshop 1, with the opening of the collection cover 6 connecting with the through holes 17. The yarn steaming machines 2 are located in the corresponding area directly below the through holes 17. A duct 8 is installed on the top of the collection cover 6, extending to the outside of the yarn steaming workshop 1. A fan 9 is installed on the duct 8 outside the yarn steaming workshop 1. A temperature and humidity sensor 18 is installed inside the collection cover 6. The system also includes a controller, which is connected to the temperature and humidity sensor 18, the fan 9, and the yarn steaming machines 2.

[0017] Under normal circumstances, the top of the steaming workshop 1 is flat. When the steaming machine 2 finishes steaming, a large amount of water vapor rushes out when its door is opened. The water vapor rises rapidly and accumulates on the top of the steaming workshop 1, thus increasing the temperature and humidity. Repeated steaming causes the steaming workshop 1 to be in a high-temperature and high-humidity state for a long time, which can breed mold, affecting yarn quality and worker safety.

[0018] Therefore, in this embodiment, a partition 7 is installed above the steaming workshop 1. The partition 7 can be made of corrosion-resistant material. A collection hood 6 is installed between the partition 7 and the top wall 4 of the steaming workshop 1, and the collection hood 6 is connected to the through-hole 17 on the partition 7. The through-hole 17 is located directly above the steaming machine 2 and can cover the entire steaming machine 2. In actual use, after the steaming machine 2 finishes steaming, when the door is opened, a large amount of water vapor rushes out and rises. Under the action of the collection hood 6, most of the water vapor will gather inside the collection hood 6 and will not diffuse to the surroundings. At the same time, the fan 9 on the air duct 8 is turned on to promptly discharge the water vapor inside the collection hood 6. This maintains a stable temperature and humidity level inside the steaming workshop 1, preventing it from becoming too high.

[0019] A temperature and humidity sensor 18 is installed inside the collection hood 6. When the door of the steaming machine 2 is opened and water vapor rises, the temperature and humidity inside the collection hood 6 increase. Conversely, when the air duct 8 exhausts air, the temperature and humidity inside the collection hood 6 decrease. When the temperature and humidity stabilize, it can be considered that the water vapor inside the collection hood 6 has been exhausted. However, the temperature and humidity in the steaming workshop 1 will inevitably rise. In this embodiment, the fan 9 can operate in both forward and reverse modes, controlled by a controller. When the fan 9 rotates forward, it exhausts air outward; when it rotates in reverse, it blows air inward. When the temperature and humidity sensor 18 stabilizes after the water vapor is exhausted, the fan 9 can be controlled to rotate in reverse, sending outside air into the steaming workshop 1. Based on the principle that cold air descends and hot air rises, the temperature and humidity in the steaming workshop 1 reach the desired state, thus achieving the function of preventing moisture and mold. When the temperature and humidity in the steaming workshop 1 reach the desired state, the fan 9 stops operating.

[0020] The through-hole 17 is circular, and the collecting hood 6 is hemispherical. The interior of the hemispherical collecting hood 6 is hollow, which can better accumulate water vapor. At the same time, when water vapor rises, it can be collected more comprehensively inside the collecting hood 6 and can be discharged to the outside through the air duct 8 in a timely manner, shortening the discharge time and better controlling the temperature and humidity of the steaming workshop 1.

[0021] Vertical guide rails 11 are provided on the side wall 3 of the steaming workshop 1 between two adjacent steaming machines 2. A winding roller 13 is rotatably arranged between the side walls 3 of the steaming workshop 1 above the guide rails 11. A drive motor 14 is provided on the side wall 3 of the steaming workshop 1 at one end of the winding roller 13. The drive motor 14 is connected to the winding roller 13. A slider 12 is provided on the guide rails 11. A counterweight roller 16 is provided between the two sliders 12 on the same side of the steaming machine 2. An isolation film 15 is wound on the winding roller 13. The lower end of the isolation film 15 is connected to the counterweight roller.

[0022] Before the door of the steaming machine 2 is opened, the controller can control the drive motor 14 to rotate, thereby rotating the winding roller 13. The isolation membrane 15 on the winding roller 13 is unwound, and under the action of the counterweight 16, the isolation membrane 15 moves down a certain distance, isolating the space of the steaming workshop 1 above the steaming machine 2. When the door of the steaming machine 2 is opened, the water vapor rises rapidly. Under the isolation of the isolation membrane 15, it only stays above the corresponding steaming machine 2. Therefore, turning on the fan 9 on the corresponding air duct 8 can more thoroughly exhaust the water vapor. The isolation membrane 15 can be made of plastic film, which has a certain strength and can withstand the weight of the counterweight 16. The design of the isolation membrane 15 can prevent the water vapor from spreading to both sides of the steaming workshop 1 during its upward rise, thereby preventing the temperature and humidity of the entire steaming workshop 1 from rising. The corresponding air duct 8 would also have difficulty exhausting the diffused water vapor. Therefore, the isolation membrane 15 can improve the efficiency and reliability of the air duct 8 in exhausting water vapor. The two ends of the counterweight rod 16 are connected to the guide rail 11 through the slider 12, making the lifting process more stable and safe.

[0023] A filter cover 10 is installed at the end of the air duct 8 outside the steaming workshop 1. One side of the filter cover 10 is open, and a filter screen 19 is installed at the opening of the filter cover 10. With the filter screen 19 installed on the filter cover 10, when the fan 9 reverses to blow air inward, it can filter out large particles in the outside air, ensuring clean air supply and making the steaming workshop 1 cleaner and tidier.
