Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sweater surface cleaning technology, specifically a lint removal mechanism for sweater surfaces. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, with the improvement of living standards, sweaters have become a staple of winter clothing. Since sweaters are made from animal hair, a lot of lint is generated during the production process, adhering to the surface of the product. Some sweaters even develop pilling, affecting product quality. To ensure the comfort of sweaters, the lint on the surface needs to be removed, requiring a lint removal mechanism. Existing lint removal mechanisms for sweaters mostly consist of a blade collection device. The blades rotate at high speed driven by a motor, cutting off the lint balls, which are then sucked into the collection box by a suction pump, thus cleaning the sweater surface. However, with traditional lint removal mechanisms, once the collection box is full of lint, the machine needs to be stopped and the collection box manually removed. Then, the lint adhering to the filter screen below the suction pump needs to be cleaned, and a new collection box needs to be replaced before continuing the lint removal process. Manual cleaning is prone to incomplete cleaning, and repeated stops severely affect the efficiency of lint removal. Therefore, we propose a new lint removal mechanism for sweaters.

It is equipped with a material collection mechanism, and the deflection of the baffle realizes the opening and closing of the collection box.

This effectively avoids the clogging caused by inadequate cleaning, improves the lint removal efficiency of sweaters, and can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0014] By drawing air in, lint and fluff balls are collected at the bottom of the filter. When the lint and fluff balls accumulate to a certain extent, the air pressure sensor detects the change in air pressure, and the baffle deflects to close the collection box. External air pump one blows air, external air pump two draws air, and the movement of the scraper can quickly remove the lint and fluff balls in the collection box and clean the surface of the filter. This effectively avoids clogging caused by inadequate cleaning and improves the efficiency of removing lint from sweaters. Attached Figure Description

The input end of the microcontroller 11 is electrically connected to an external power supply, providing control for the removal of fluff from the surface of the sweater.

[0024] The material collection mechanism 4 includes a baffle 41, gears 42, a rack 43, and a material collection assembly 46. The baffles 41 are rotatably connected to the middle of the left and right side walls of the collection box 1. The gears 42 are all located at the front end of the baffles 41.

A material collection mechanism 4 is provided. At the same time, the deflection of the baffle 41 realizes the opening and closing of the collection box 1. With the movement of the scraper 462 and the back blowing of the external air pump, the lint can be automatically collected and the surface of the filter screens 466 can be cleaned, effectively avoiding the clogging caused by inadequate cleaning and improving the lint removal efficiency of sweaters.

[0025] The working principle of the lint removal mechanism for sweaters provided by this utility model is as follows: When using the lint removal mechanism for sweaters, it is installed above the sweater conveyor line, so that the pressure roller 10 is in contact with the sweater surface. The conveyor line carries the sweater. When the sweater passes under the lint removal mechanism, it is first flattened by the pressure roller 10. The limiting net can prevent the equipment from damaging the garment. The microcontroller 11 controls the operation of the two motors 3 and 9. The two motors 3 and 9 rotate in opposite directions, driving the corresponding cranks 8 to rotate. The crank 8 presses against the limiting groove 7, causing the corresponding blade to move (the bottom of the eccentric end of the crank 8 slides and rotates with the limiting groove 7). The rear motor 3 9 drives the upper blade 5 to move backward, and the front motor 3 9 drives the lower blade 6 to move forward. The upper blade 5 and the lower blade 6 move relative to each other, cutting off the lint and fluff. At this time, the external air pump 1 works, sucking the lint and fluff upward until the lint and fluff touch the lower end of the filter screen 466. When the lint and fluff accumulate to a certain extent, the air pressure sensor 465 detects the flow guide cover 46. 4. When the internal air pressure changes, the air pressure sensor 465 sends an electrical signal to the microcontroller 11. The microcontroller 11 controls the motor 45 to operate, driving the lead screw 44 to rotate. As the lead screw 44 rotates, the rack plate 43 moves down, driving the gear 42 to rotate. The baffle 41 then deflects inward by 90 degrees until the outer ends of the two baffles 41 are in contact with each other, and the collection box 1 is in a closed state. At this time, both scrapers 462 are in contact with the partition 3, providing clearance for the deflection of the baffle 41. Then, the external air pump 2 works, opening the collection box 1. The internal lint balls are sucked out, while an external air pump blows air into the guide cover 464, blowing the lint balls attached to the surface of the filter screen 466 away from the filter screen 466. The motor 463 runs, driving the bidirectional lead screw 461 to rotate, and the scraper 462 moves back and forth to further scrape off the lint balls attached to the surface of the filter screen 466. Then, the lint balls are sucked out by the external air pump. The machine can automatically clean the inside of the equipment without stopping, which can effectively avoid clogging caused by incomplete cleaning and improve the efficiency of removing lint from sweaters.

[0026] It is worth noting that the microcontroller 11 disclosed in the above embodiments is an STM32F103RCT6 microcontroller, motor 1 45 is a 24BYJ48 motor, motor 2 463 is a BLDC75W motor, air pressure sensor 465 is a 2SMPB-02E air pressure sensor, and motor 3 9 is a 35BYJ46 motor. The microcontroller 11 controls the operation of motor 1 45, motor 2 463, air pressure sensor 465, and motor 3 9 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
