Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production equipment technology, and in particular to a garment wrinkling production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the evolution of modern lifestyles and the growth of consumer demand, jeans, as a core category of denim apparel, have seen increasingly wider applications and a continuously expanding market, driving significant growth in jeans production. However, in the jeans manufacturing process, wrinkling is one of the key steps that gives the product a specific style and visual effect.

[0003] Currently, before applying wrinkle-pressing treatment to jeans, it is generally necessary to manually pre-fold or position specific parts of the jeans. This step mainly relies on manual operation, which leads to low production efficiency and makes it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale industrial production. Secondly, the high dependence on manpower significantly increases manufacturing costs. Furthermore, prolonged repetitive manual work can easily cause worker fatigue, thereby increasing the risk of operational errors, resulting in unstable product quality and affecting the consistency and pass rate of the final product.

[0004] The shortcomings of existing technologies in the pre-processing of denim wrinkling, particularly in terms of efficiency, cost, and quality, have become technical obstacles hindering the further development of the industry. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new technical solution to effectively overcome the limitations of manual pre-folding, improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure product quality stability. This application, based on the aforementioned technical background and through in-depth research and beneficial design, aims to provide an innovative solution. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned traditional background technology design and to provide a stable and reliable product that improves production efficiency and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0007] A garment wrinkling production device includes a processing table and a top plate above it. The processing table is provided with a pressure plate, and the top plate is provided with a liftable support plate located at one end of the pressure plate and the pressure plate. The support plate is provided with at least one folding mechanism for folding garments and is located between the pressure plate and the pressure plate. The folding mechanism is provided with air holes that prevent the garment from shifting by adsorbing it with negative pressure. The top plate is provided with a liftable pressure plate located above the pressure plate. When the pressure plate and the pressure plate abut against each other, they form a hole that wraps around the folding mechanism. A heating device is provided inside the pressure plate and the pressure plate.

[0008] Preferably, the pressure plate and the pressing plate are provided with at least one inwardly recessed pressing surface, the pressing surface is provided with a plurality of steam holes, a gap is left between the pressing surface and the folding mechanism for the garment fabric to pass through, and a gap is provided on one side between the pressure plate and the pressing plate for the garment fabric to pass through.

[0009] Preferably, the heating device is located on the pressing surface, and the heating device is configured as an electric heating tube and a steam generator.

[0010] Preferably, the pressure plate is provided with guide portions on both sides.

[0011] Preferably, a plurality of guide posts are provided between the top plate and the processing table and pass through the guide portion, and the support plate is provided with at least two guide rods that pass through the processing table.

[0012] Preferably, the top plate is provided with a first telescopic cylinder and a second telescopic cylinder, the first telescopic cylinder being fixedly connected to the pressure plate, and the second telescopic cylinder being fixedly connected to the support plate.

[0013] Preferably, the folding mechanism includes a first sleeve, a second sleeve, and a third telescopic cylinder. The second sleeve is slidably disposed inside the first sleeve. The inner wall of the first sleeve is provided with a plurality of equally spaced limiting grooves evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. The outer wall of the second sleeve is provided with a limiting block and is slidably disposed in the limiting groove. The end face of the second sleeve is provided with a pushing part. The pushing part is provided with a connecting rod and is connected and fixed to the third telescopic cylinder. The third telescopic cylinder is fixed to the back of the support plate. The air hole is disposed on the side wall of the first sleeve and the second sleeve.

[0014] Preferably, the support plate is provided with a sink groove to accommodate the first sleeve, a sealing ring is provided between the sink groove and the first sleeve, and a negative pressure port is provided on the back of the sink groove for sucking air from the first sleeve and the second sleeve. Beneficial effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] With this invention, the operator only needs to place the jeans on the folding mechanism and start the equipment to automatically complete the folding process. At the same time, the air holes set on the mechanism can effectively prevent the jeans from shifting during the folding process, ensuring the accurate positioning of the subsequent wrinkling process and the wrinkling quality of the final product, and ensuring the consistency of the wrinkling effect.

[0017] Furthermore, after folding, the pressure plate and sealing plate automatically activate to precisely wrap the folded area. High pressure and high temperature are applied for shaping and setting. After a set time, the setting process automatically disengages, and the folding mechanism moves away from the pressure plate and sealing plate. Simultaneously, negative pressure draws in cool air from outside, penetrating into the jeans for rapid cooling. This process, based on the principle of durable pressing, effectively locks in the final shape of the folds.

[0018] In summary, the coordinated operation of the aforementioned multiple mechanisms significantly reduces the reliance on manual operation in the production process, effectively avoids operator fatigue and potential operational errors caused by long-term repetitive manual work, thereby overcoming the resulting product quality instability issues. Ultimately, it ensures the consistency and pass rate of finished products, and brings stable and reliable performance as well as significantly improved production efficiency, thereby effectively reducing manufacturing costs.

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0028] Reference example Figures 1 to 4 A garment wrinkling production equipment includes a processing table 1 and a top plate 2 above it. The processing table 1 is provided with a pressure plate 3, and the top plate 2 is provided with a liftable support plate 4 located at one end of the pressure plate 3 and the pressure plate 6. The support plate 4 is provided with at least one folding mechanism 5 for folding garments and is located between the pressure plate 3 and the pressure plate 6. The folding mechanism 5 is provided with a vent 54 that prevents the garment from shifting by adsorbing it with negative pressure. The top plate 2 is provided with a liftable pressure plate 6 located above the pressure plate 3. When the pressure plate 3 and the pressure plate 6 abut against each other, a hole is formed that wraps around the folding mechanism 5. The pressure plate 6 and the pressure plate 3 are provided with a heating device 81. In order to adapt to the actual application needs and cost considerations of different customers, this technical solution provides two core design structures. The two structures are consistent in their overall working principle. The main difference is that when folding and shaping jeans, the operation is performed on both pant legs at the same time or on individual pant legs one by one. This design flexibility is intended to meet diverse production scenarios and investment budgets.

[0029] It is worth mentioning that the pressure plate 3 and the pressure plate 6 are provided with at least one inwardly recessed pressing surface 8. The pressing surface 8 is provided with several steam holes 82. There is a gap 7 between the pressing surface 8 and the folding mechanism 5 for the garment fabric. There is a gap 7 on one side between the pressure plate 3 and the pressure plate 6 for the garment fabric to pass through. The pressing surface 8 is semi-circular in shape and fits the shape of the first sleeve 51 and the second sleeve 52. When there is only one pressing surface 8, the gap 7 between the pressure surface and the pressure plate 6 is to prevent the pant leg of the jeans that is not fitted on the folding mechanism 5 from entering the pressing surface 8, thereby interfering with the shaping operation. When there are two pressing surfaces 8, the gap 7 between the pressure plate 3 and the pressure plate 6 is used to accommodate the crotch of the jeans.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that the heating device 81 is set on the pressing surface 8. The heating device 81 is set as an electric heating tube and a steam generator. The electric heating tube is located inside the pressing surface 8. The electric heating tube provides uniform heat energy. The steam generator delivers high-temperature steam, which not only provides heat energy, but its pressure is usually between 0.5 and 2 bar and it penetrates the fabric fibers to enhance the shaping effect. The heating equipment is usually equipped with a thermostat to ensure that the temperature of the pressing plate 6 is kept constant within the range required for the fabric fibers to soften. Its temperature is between 100°C and 180°C to avoid overheating damage. Since the thermostat is existing technology and can be purchased on the market, and is not the key technology protected in this application, it will not be described in detail.

[0031] It is worth mentioning that guide portions 31 are provided on both sides of the pressure plate 3;

[0032] It is worth mentioning that multiple guide posts 21 are provided between the top plate 2 and the processing table 1 and pass through the guide part 31. The support plate 4 is provided with at least two guide rods 41 and pass through the processing table 1. The guide posts 21 provide guidance for the lifting and lowering of the pressure plate 3 and prevent the pressing surface 8 from shifting during the lifting and lowering process. The technical effect of the guide rods 41 and the guide posts 21 is the same.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that the top plate 2 is equipped with a first telescopic cylinder 22 and a second telescopic cylinder 23. The first telescopic cylinder 22 is connected and fixed to the pressure plate 6, and the second telescopic cylinder 23 is connected and fixed to the support plate 4.

[0034] It is worth mentioning that the folding mechanism 5 includes a first sleeve 51, a second sleeve 52, and a third telescopic cylinder 53. The second sleeve 52 is slidably disposed inside the first sleeve 51. The inner wall of the first sleeve 51 is evenly distributed with several equal-spaced limiting grooves 511 along the circumferential direction. The outer wall of the second sleeve 52 is provided with a limiting block 521, which is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 511. The end face of the second sleeve 52 is provided with a pushing part 522. The pushing part 522 is provided with a connecting rod 523, which is connected and fixed to the third telescopic cylinder 53. The third telescopic cylinder 53 is fixed to the back of the support plate 4. The air hole 54 is disposed on the side wall of the first sleeve 51 and the second sleeve 52. The limiting block 521, together with the limiting groove 511, not only restricts the inward movement distance of the second sleeve 52, but also prevents the second sleeve 52 from rotating during the inward process, thereby destroying the consistency of the folding part and the fold quality.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that the support plate 4 is provided with a sink 42 to accommodate the first sleeve 51. A sealing ring 43 is provided between the sink 42 and the first sleeve 51. A negative pressure port 44 is provided on the back of the sink 42 to draw air from the first sleeve 51 and the second sleeve 52. The sealing ring 43 strengthens the sealing between the first sleeve 51 and the sink 42 to prevent insufficient negative pressure suction due to gaps.

[0036] The working principle of the processing equipment for a single trouser leg of this utility model is described as follows:

[0037] The operator only needs to put one leg of the jeans onto the first sleeve 51 and the second sleeve 52, and place the other leg on one side of the pressure plate 3 and the pressure plate 6. Then start the equipment, and the negative pressure interface 44 will draw in outside air through the air hole 54 to firmly attach the jeans leg to the first sleeve 51 and the second sleeve 52.

[0038] As the pressure plate 3 and the support plate 4 gradually descend to the preset position, the third telescopic mechanism retracts the piston rod, causing the second sleeve 52 to retract inward toward the first sleeve 51, and the pushing part 522 causes the trouser leg to complete the folding operation. When the limiting block 521 and the limiting groove 511 come into contact, it indicates that the folding step is completed and the next process can be carried out.

[0039] Subsequently, the heating device 81 heats the folded part from all directions. High-temperature steam is injected into the area in contact with the fabric through the steam hole 82 and the pressing surface 8 to achieve uniform heating. The high-temperature steam penetrates the denim fabric and, combined with the mechanical pressure applied by the pressing plate 6, softens and rearranges the fibers, thereby forming a lasting crease.

[0040] After the set time is reached, the equipment automatically releases the shaping pressure, the pressure plate 6 resets, and the folding mechanism 5 is positioned between the pressure plate 6 and the bearing plate 3. At this time, the continuous negative pressure draws in external cold air to penetrate into the denim jeans, achieving rapid cooling. This process is based on the principle of durable pressing and finishing, which can effectively lock the final shape of the pleats. Then, the piston rod of the third telescopic cylinder 53 extends and pushes the second sleeve 52 to reset, completing the pleat shaping of the leg area.

[0041] In summary, the coordinated operation of the aforementioned multiple mechanisms significantly reduces the reliance on manual operation in the production process, effectively avoids operator fatigue and potential operational errors caused by long-term repetitive manual work, thereby overcoming the resulting product quality instability issues. Ultimately, it ensures the consistency and pass rate of finished products, and brings stable and reliable performance as well as significantly improved production efficiency, thereby effectively reducing manufacturing costs.

[0042] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
