Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to cotton yarn, and in particular to a high-efficiency cotton yarn drying rack for production. Background Technology
[0002] Cotton yarn is a continuous yarn made from cotton fibers through a spinning process. Cotton yarn is called cotton thread after being twisted together. The raw material of cotton yarn is natural cotton, which has the characteristics of being soft, breathable, highly absorbent, and heat-resistant.
[0003] During the spinning process, cotton yarn needs to be washed with water or acid to remove impurities and chemical residues. After washing, the cotton yarn needs to be dried. The common method of drying cotton yarn is as follows: technicians bundle the cotton yarn into loose loops, hang them on the drying rack, and push them into the drying room for drying. During the drying process, the cotton yarn is in a static state, and the moisture inside the cotton yarn will accumulate on the lower side of the cotton yarn under the action of gravity, which can easily lead to different drying degrees on the upper and lower sides of the cotton yarn, which is not conducive to improving drying efficiency.
[0004] To address the above issues, we propose a high-efficiency cotton yarn drying rack for production. Utility Model Content

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that the driving mechanism includes a motor mounted on the mounting plate, a driving shaft is fixedly provided on the rear side of the driving roller, and the output shaft of the mounting plate is connected to one of the driving shafts.
[0010] A synchronization mechanism is provided on each of the drive rollers.
[0011] A further feature of this invention is that the synchronization mechanism includes a synchronization belt, and each of the drive shafts is fixedly provided with a synchronization pulley, and the synchronization belt is connected to each of the synchronization pulleys.
[0012] A further feature of this invention is that a mounting base is fixedly connected to the rear side of the mounting plate by bolts, and the motor is mounted on the mounting base.
[0013] Gears are fixed to the end of the output shaft of the motor and the rear end of the drive shaft, and the two gears mesh with each other.
[0014] A further feature of this invention is that: the right side of the mounting plate is provided with symmetrical sliding grooves front and back, and the right side of the slide plate is provided with two integrally formed sliders symmetrically arranged left and right, and each slider is slidably connected to the sliding groove on the same side.
[0015] The self-locking mechanism is located inside the slider.
[0016] A further feature of this invention is that: a locking groove is provided in the inner side of each of the two opposing sliders, and the self-locking mechanism includes a pin, which is slidably connected to the locking groove on the same side;
[0017] The sliding groove has several slots that are equally spaced vertically distributed inside its side wall, and the pin is inserted into the slots.

[0029] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-3 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and 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.
[0030] Example:
[0031] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a high-efficiency cotton yarn drying rack for production includes a base 11. Several casters 31 are installed on the bottom of the base 11 to facilitate the movement of the rack into a drying room by technicians. A mounting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the base 11. Several drive shafts 17 are rotatably connected within the mounting plate 12. Each drive shaft 17 is equipped with a drive roller 13 for placing cotton yarn. A motor 16 for driving the drive shafts 17 is mounted on the mounting plate 12. The output shaft of the motor 16 is connected to one of the drive shafts 17. Each drive shaft 17 is equipped with a synchronous pulley 19, and a synchronous belt 18 connects all the synchronous pulleys 19. When the motor 16 drives one drive shaft 17 to rotate, the synchronous pulley 19 on the drive shaft 17 drives the other drive shafts 17 to rotate synchronously via the synchronous belt 18, thereby enabling the drive rollers 13 to rotate synchronously.
[0032] Furthermore, the mounting plate 12 has symmetrical sliding grooves 23 on the right side, and each sliding groove 23 is connected to a slider 24 that slides up and down. The left sides of the two sliders 24 are connected to a slide plate 14, and several tension rollers 15 for keeping the cotton yarn taut are rotatably connected in the slide plate 14.
[0033] Furthermore, locking grooves 25 are provided on the facing sides of the two sliders 24. Each locking groove 25 is slidably connected with a pin 26. A connecting ring 29 is fixed on the pin 26. A spring 30 is connected between the connecting ring 29 and the bottom wall of the locking groove 25. A lever 27 is fixed on the pin 26. A sliding groove 28 for the lever 27 to slide back and forth is provided on the right side wall of each locking groove 25. In addition, a number of equally spaced slots 32 are provided on the side wall of the sliding groove 23 on the same side. The end of the pin 26 is inserted into the slot 32.
[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Before the drying operation begins, the technician simultaneously moves the levers 27 on both the front and rear sides so that the two pins 26 are no longer inserted into the slots 32 on the lower side. Then, the tension roller 15 is moved upward, and the pins 26 are inserted into the slots 32 on the upper side. The pins 26 will not fall out of the slots 32 on the upper side under the action of the spring 30, so that the tension roller 15 is fixed at this height, so that the technician can put the cotton yarn on the drive roller 13 while the tension roller 15 passes through the cotton yarn.
[0035] After the technician places the cotton yarn to be dried onto the drive roller 13, the technician pulls the lever 27 again so that the two pins 26 are no longer inserted into the slots 32 on the upper side, and slides the slide plate 14 downward. The technician then adjusts the height of the tension roller 15 according to the length of the cotton yarn to ensure that the tension roller 15 can keep the cotton yarn taut. After the adjustment is completed, the pins 26 are inserted into the corresponding slots 32 to fix the position of the tension roller 15.
[0036] After adjusting the cotton yarn to a taut state, the technicians push the high-efficiency cotton yarn drying rack containing the cotton yarn into the drying room for drying. During the drying process, the drive roller 13 drives the cotton yarn to rotate at a uniform speed under the drive of the motor 16, thereby preventing moisture from accumulating on the lower side of the cotton yarn during the drying process, so that both the upper and lower sides of the cotton yarn can be dried evenly and comprehensively.
[0037] To prevent the cotton yarn from tangling and knotting during the drying process, which would make it difficult for technicians to handle, an embodiment 2 is proposed based on embodiment 1: several linearly equidistant spacer rings 33 are fixed on the curved sidewalls of each of the drive rollers 13 and each of the tension rollers 15. When placing the cotton yarn, the technicians place the cotton yarn between two of the spacer rings 33 to prevent the cotton yarn from tangling and knotting during rotation.
[0038] To broaden the application scenarios of the high-efficiency cotton yarn drying rack, based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 3 is proposed here: A mounting base 21 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the mounting plate 12 by bolts 20. The motor 16 is mounted on the mounting base 21. Gears 22 are fixedly provided at the end of the output shaft of the motor 16 and the rear end of the corresponding drive shaft 17. The two gears 22 mesh with each other, and the motor 16 drives one of the drive shafts 17 to rotate through the gears 22. When technicians lack ordinary cotton yarn transfer racks, they can loosen the bolts 20 and remove the mounting base 21 and the motor 16 on the mounting base 21 with tools, so that the high-efficiency cotton yarn drying rack can be used as an ordinary cotton yarn transfer rack. When the motor 16 fails, the motor 16 on other high-efficiency cotton yarn drying racks can also be removed for emergency replacement.
