Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of setting machines, and more particularly to a setting machine with switchable clamping methods. Background Technology

[0002] Fabric setting machines are core equipment in the finishing process of textiles. They are mainly used to achieve fabric size stability, shape fixation and performance optimization through high temperature, tension control and auxiliary agents. They are key process equipment for improving the quality of textiles and are widely used in the processing of various fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk, chemical fiber, knitted and woven fabrics. They are especially indispensable in the production of clothing, home textiles and industrial textiles.

[0003] In production, the fabric is clamped and fixed by the needle plates or clamping plates on the chain and fed into the setting machine. The steel needles on the needle plates are used to pierce the edges of the fabric. Therefore, needle plates are often used for light and thin fabrics, such as silk and chemical fiber fabrics, to prevent the fabric from shrinking due to high temperature. Clamping plates are suitable for heavy fabrics, such as denim and canvas. During the production process, the needle plates or clamping plates on the chain are replaced according to the needs of the fabric. Since there are many needle plates and clamping plates on the chain, the disassembly and replacement time is long, which affects work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To facilitate quick changes in clamping methods and thus improve the working efficiency of the setting machine, this application provides a setting machine with switchable clamping methods.

[0005] This application provides a setting machine with switchable clamping methods, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A setting machine with switchable clamping methods includes a setting machine body, two chains, two drive motors, and two sets of clamping devices respectively arranged on both sides of the setting machine. The two chains are distributed vertically, and the length direction of the chains is parallel to the transport direction of the fabric. The two drive motors are used to drive the two chains to rotate. The two sets of clamping devices correspond to the two chains. The clamping devices include several mounting blocks, several needle plates, several clamping plates, and several adjusting components. The mounting blocks are evenly distributed along the circumference of the chains and are set on the outer side wall of the chains. The needle plates correspond to the mounting blocks and are slidably connected to the mounting blocks in the direction close to or away from the chains. The clamping plates correspond to the mounting blocks and are slidably connected to the mounting blocks in the sliding direction of the needle plates. The adjusting components are used to change the position of the clamping plates and needle plates relative to the mounting blocks.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the needle plate and clamping plate are integrated into the same mounting block, and the needle plate and clamping plate are designed to slide and connect to the mounting block along the direction close to or away from the chain. With the help of the adjusting parts to change their positions, the switching between the needle plate and clamping plate can be completed without disassembling any parts. This solves the problem of long replacement time and low efficiency caused by the disassembly of a large number of needle plates and clamping plates in traditional shaping machines. At the same time, the symmetrical structure of the two sets of clamping devices corresponding to the chains on both sides can stably clamp the edge of the fabric and ensure the uniformity of tension during transportation.

[0008] Optionally, the setting machine is equipped with an adjustment assembly for adjusting the distance between the two chains. The adjustment assembly includes two adjustment plates, a bidirectional screw, and an adjustment motor. The two adjustment plates are slidably connected to the setting machine body in a vertical direction. The two chains are respectively set on the two adjustment plates. The bidirectional screw is set vertically. The two adjustment plates are respectively threaded to the threaded sections of the bidirectional screw with opposite directions of rotation. The adjustment motor is used to drive the bidirectional screw to rotate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical distance between the two chains can be adjusted by adjusting the components: when the motor drives the bidirectional screw to rotate, the two adjusting plates connected to the opposite threaded sections move closer or further apart synchronously, thereby changing the chain spacing. The spacing can be reduced for thin fabrics and increased for thick fabrics to ensure a firm clamping and adapt to various fabrics of different thicknesses.

[0010] Optionally, the adjusting component includes an adjusting block and two adjusting rods, which correspond to the needle plate and the clamping plate respectively. The adjusting rods are set on the side wall of the corresponding plate body. The adjusting block is slidably connected to the mounting block along the thickness direction of the chain. The adjusting block is provided with a V-groove, which smoothly transitions, and the adjusting rod is located in the V-groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting component, through the mechanical structure of the V-groove and adjusting rod, allows the smooth transition surface of the V-groove to push the corresponding adjusting rod to move when the adjusting block slides, indirectly causing the needle plate or clamping plate to slide. This structure eliminates the need for complex electrical control, achieving linear displacement adjustment of the needle plate and clamping plate through mechanical linkage, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted switching process, higher adjustment accuracy, and reduced human error.

[0012] Optionally, the adjusting plate is provided with a synchronizing element that simultaneously drives several adjusting blocks to move. The synchronizing element includes a synchronizing plate and a synchronizing cylinder. The synchronizing plate is slidably connected to the adjusting plate along the thickness direction of the chain. The length direction of the synchronizing cylinder is parallel to the sliding direction of the synchronizing plate. The cylinder body of the synchronizing cylinder is disposed on the adjusting plate, and the piston rod of the synchronizing cylinder is disposed on the synchronizing plate. The adjusting blocks are slidably connected to the synchronizing plate along the circumferential direction of the chain.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the synchronizing component can simultaneously drive all adjusting blocks on the chain to move: the synchronizing cylinder drives the synchronizing plate to slide, and through the connection between the synchronizing plate and the adjusting block, the adjusting blocks on all mounting blocks move synchronously, thereby driving all needle plates or clamping plates to switch positions simultaneously, avoiding the problem of inconsistent clamping methods caused by individual adjustment, ensuring uniform force on the fabric edge, improving the shaping quality, and further improving the switching efficiency.

[0014] Optionally, the adjusting block is provided with an adapter rod, the length of which is parallel to the thickness direction of the chain. The adapter rod is provided with an anti-detachment block, and the synchronization plate is provided with a track groove, the anti-detachment block being slidably connected to the track groove.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-detachment block on the adapter rod is slidably connected to the track groove of the synchronous plate to form a mechanical limiting structure, which can prevent the adjusting block from detaching from the synchronous plate during the rotation or synchronous sliding of the chain, avoid adjustment failure or equipment failure caused by loose connection, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0016] Optionally, the mounting block has two sliding grooves that extend in a direction close to or away from the chain. The needle plate and the clamping plate are located in the two sliding grooves respectively. When one plate is exposed from the mounting block, the other plate is located in the sliding groove.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the two sliding grooves of the mounting block respectively accommodate the needle plate and the clamping plate, and the design ensures that when one plate is exposed, the other plate is stored. This prevents interference caused by the needle tip of the needle plate and the surface of the clamping plate contacting the fabric at the same time, ensuring that the single clamping method is stable and effective, and improving the reliability of fabric clamping.

[0018] Optionally, the clamp is provided with anti-slip grooves to improve friction with the fabric.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip grooves on the clamping plate increase the friction with the fabric, providing a more stable clamping effect for heavy fabrics such as denim and canvas, preventing the fabric from slipping due to tension changes during high-temperature setting and transportation, and ensuring the accuracy of the setting dimensions.

[0020] Optionally, the groove opening of the sliding groove corresponding to the needle plate is provided with an insulating rubber layer that can be pierced by the needle tip of the needle plate.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the needle plate is stored in the sliding groove, the isolation rubber layer at the groove opening can be pierced by the needle tip without affecting the extension of the needle plate during operation. When idle, it covers the groove opening to prevent the needle tip from being damaged by collision with external hard objects. At the same time, it blocks dust and fabric debris from entering the groove, reducing the frequency of cleaning and maintenance and reducing equipment wear.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. By integrating the needle plate and clamp plate into the same mounting block and designing them to slide and connect in the direction close to or away from the chain, and using the V-groove and adjusting rod structure in the adjusting component to achieve position switching, the needle plate and clamp plate can be switched without disassembling any parts, which shortens the replacement time, improves efficiency, and significantly shortens the switching cycle;

[0024] 2. The adjustment component can adjust the vertical distance between the two chains: when the bidirectional screw rotates, it drives the two adjustment plates to move closer or further away synchronously, thereby changing the chain spacing, which can be applied to fabrics of different thicknesses;

[0025] 3. The synchronizing element drives all adjusting blocks to move synchronously, ensuring that all needle plates and clamps switch states at the same time, further accelerating the adjustment speed. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The implementation principle of a setting machine with switchable clamping method according to the embodiment of this application is as follows: The operator can choose to clamp the fabric by needle plate 52 or clamping plate 53 according to different fabric requirements. The piston rod of the synchronous cylinder 62 can be adjusted according to the selected scheme. After the distance between the synchronous plate 61 and the adjusting plate 21 is changed, the V-groove 543 on the adjusting plate 21 can drive the two adjusting rods 542 to move in the vertical direction, thereby changing the position of needle plate 52 and clamping plate 53. When needle plate 52 is exposed in sliding groove 511, clamping plate 53 is located in sliding groove 511. When clamping plate 53 is exposed in sliding groove 511, needle plate 52 is located in sliding groove 511. The two adjusting plates 21 are driven to move closer to each other by bidirectional screw 22 until clamping plate 53 or needle plate 52 clamps the fabric.
