Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of curtain shaping technology, specifically an automatic integrated curtain rapid shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern home decoration and construction engineering, curtains, as an important element that combines the functions of light blocking, privacy protection, and aesthetic decoration, directly affect the overall style and user experience of a space. With the improvement of people's living standards and the increasing sophistication of aesthetic demands, the market has placed higher demands on the drape, pleat refinement, and durability of the shape retention of curtains.

[0003] However, the current production and shaping processes of traditional curtains still face many technical challenges that urgently need to be addressed. First, the problem of insufficient drape in curtains is widespread. This phenomenon is closely related to many factors: the fiber characteristics of the fabric itself and the weaving process directly affect its drape performance. For example, natural fibers such as cotton and linen are prone to irregular drape due to insufficient fiber rigidity, while synthetic fibers, if not properly processed, may result in stiffness or looseness due to static electricity or unstable molecular structure.

[0004] Meanwhile, insufficient precision in controlling the time parameters during the setting process means that too short a setting time will prevent the fabric molecules from fully completing structural reorganization, while too long a setting time may cause fiber aging and damage the drape base. Uneven setting temperature or mismatch with the fabric material will lead to inconsistent local shrinkage of the fabric, further aggravating the drape deviation.

[0005] In addition, the flatness and fit of traditional molding molds are insufficient, making it difficult to apply uniform and continuous pressure to the fabric. This makes the curtains prone to local wrinkles or wavy deformation after hanging, which seriously affects the drape and texture.

[0006] Secondly, the lack of refinement in pleat shape is a key bottleneck restricting the aesthetic value of curtains. Traditional hand-pleating or semi-mechanized shaping methods struggle to achieve precise control over pleat parameters, often resulting in inconsistent pleat spacing, uneven pleat depth, and unbalanced pleat shape. For example, in the folding and fixing of curtain pleats, differences in manual force and positioning deviations can cause noticeable visual discontinuities in the pleats of the same batch or even the same curtain. Furthermore, if existing shaping equipment lacks the function of zoned pressure control for the pleats, the shaping effect at the pleat tip and the pleat side will be inconsistent, resulting in phenomena such as "collapsed pleats" and "scattered pleats," which greatly weakens the decorative effect of the curtains and makes it difficult to meet the pursuit of detailed aesthetics in the high-end home furnishing market.

[0007] More significantly, the lack of durability in the shaping effect severely shortens the effective lifespan of curtains. Traditional shaping processes often rely on temporary chemical additives or mechanical force to force the shape, rather than achieving stable shaping by altering the fabric's molecular structure. While curtains may maintain a relatively full shape initially, after daily pulling, changes in environmental temperature and humidity, or multiple washes, the chemical additives easily become ineffective, and the mechanical stress gradually releases, causing the pleats to quickly loosen, deform, or even disappear. Especially during washing, the impact of water flow and the action of detergent further damage the fabric's shaping structure. Some curtains completely lose their original pleats after three to five washes, requiring frequent replacements and increasing user costs and resource waste.

[0008] Although some curtain shaping equipment has emerged in existing technologies, attempting to improve results by increasing temperature control precision or shaping pressure, most devices still suffer from drawbacks such as limited functionality, low automation, and limited fabric compatibility. They cannot achieve integrated operations from fabric pretreatment and parametric pleat design to precise shaping and effect reinforcement, and struggle to systematically address the synergistic optimization of drape, pleat refinement, and shaping durability. Therefore, developing an automated device capable of integrating multi-parameter control and achieving rapid and high-quality shaping has become an urgent need in the curtain manufacturing industry to improve product quality and meet market demands.

[0009] Therefore, we propose an automatic integrated curtain quick-setting device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0010] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0011] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic integrated curtain quick-setting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0012] (II) Technical Solution

[0013] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic integrated curtain rapid shaping device, including a shaping boiler, an intelligent temperature control mixing box is provided on one side of the shaping boiler, a temperature sensor, a steam valve, and a visual recognition device are installed on the shaping boiler, one end of the temperature sensor and the steam valve are located in the inner cavity of the shaping boiler, and the other end is connected to the intelligent temperature control mixing box through a signal line, and the visual recognition device is located at the feed inlet of the shaping boiler.

[0014] Preferably, the inner cavity of the shaped boiler is provided with a support plate, and the support plate is symmetrically fixedly connected with limiting strips. A support frame is supported on the support plate, and a paper film is placed on the support frame.

[0015] Preferably, the support frame has a first crossbar on the same horizontal plane, and shaped balls A are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the first crossbar. A second crossbar is provided below the first crossbar, and shaped balls B are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the second crossbar.

[0016] Preferably, a screw is movably inserted into the second crossbar, the first crossbar is penetrated by the screw, a spring is sleeved on the screw, the spring is located between the first crossbar and the second crossbar, and a screw is threaded to the top of the screw.

[0017] Preferably, both shaping balls A and B are made of stainless steel, and their size is adapted to the curvature of the paper film.

[0018] Preferably, the first crossbar, shaping ball A, the second crossbar, shaping ball B, screw, spring, and bolt can be combined to form a telescopic mold shaping device.

[0019] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0020] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic integrated curtain quick-setting device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. This utility model, through its overall design, differs from existing technologies that cannot automatically adjust temperature and time for different fabrics during setting, relying solely on manual identification and control. However, manual operation is prone to errors, resulting in poor drape due to insufficient setting time / temperature or shrinkage due to excessive setting time / temperature. This device first stabilizes the fabric structure and eliminates shrinkage interference. Then, using its intelligent temperature control technology, it precisely adjusts the setting time and temperature according to the fabric properties, achieving precise process control. This eliminates the traditional reliance on operator experience and avoids poor setting results caused by improper human adjustments.

[0022] 2. Through its design, this utility model can bring the following benefits to the overall operation:

[0023] In traditional curtain shaping processes, the fold distance, as a core parameter affecting the aesthetics of the pleats, needs to be strictly matched with the specifications of the shaping film to ensure a good fit. However, constrained by both production costs and efficiency, companies often find it difficult to frequently change the matching film for different fold distance specifications. For example, in small-batch, multi-specification production, frequent film changes significantly increase equipment setup time and material waste; in large-batch, uniform-specification production, it is impossible to meet diverse fold distance requirements. These compromises directly lead to gaps or misalignments between the curtain fabric and the film. For instance, when a wide-fold-distance curtain is paired with a narrow-specification film, the edges lack effective support, resulting in wrinkles; when a narrow-fold-distance curtain uses a wide-specification film, the excess portion of the film will compress the fabric, causing irregular deformation, ultimately greatly reducing the shaping effect and making it difficult to achieve the preset pleat precision standard.

[0024] This utility model establishes a multi-dimensional matching system between paper film and fabric. It not only selects paper film materials with appropriate thickness and toughness based on the fabric's fiber density, elasticity coefficient, and other properties, but also customizes paper films with corresponding light-blocking properties and thermal conductivity to address the differences in fabric color depth and gloss. This ensures that the fabric is heated evenly and its color is not damaged during the setting process. On this basis, setting balls A and B enable the paper film and fabric to form a perfect fit during the wet setting stage.

[0025] Meanwhile, by adjusting the position of the screw on the screw rod, the equipped screw rod, spring, and screw can be adapted to adjust the paper film with different concave and convex spacing; during the high-temperature shaping process, it provides continuous and uniform rigid support for the paper film, effectively avoiding problems such as collapse and curling of the paper film due to heat deformation or uneven stress; and it can ensure that it always maintains the best upright state, ultimately achieving the ultimate precision and stability of the curtain pleats.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

One end of the temperature sensor 3 and the steam valve 4 is located inside the shaping boiler 1, and the other end is connected to the intelligent temperature control mixing box 2 via a signal line. The visual recognition device 5 is located at the feed inlet of the shaping boiler 1. A support plate 6 is provided inside the shaping boiler 1, and limiting strips 7 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the support plate 6. Supports are provided on the support plate 6. A support frame 8 is provided, on which a paper film 9 is placed. A first crossbar 10 is provided on the same horizontal plane as the support frame 8. A shaping ball A11 is fixedly connected at equal intervals on the first crossbar 10. A second crossbar 12 is provided below the first crossbar 10.

A spring 15 is sleeved on the screw 14. The spring 15 is located between the first crossbar 10 and the second crossbar 12. A screw 16 is threadedly connected to the top of the screw 14.

[0038] in:

[0039] The intelligent temperature control mixing box 2 identifies the fabric and automatically adjusts the temperature and time to achieve the most suitable temperature and time for the fabric.

[0040] The temperature inside the boiler 1 is detected in real time by the temperature sensor 3 inside the boiler 1, and the opening degree of the steam valve 4 is adjusted according to the preset temperature to achieve automatic adjustment of the boiler temperature.

[0041] The front-mounted visual recognition device 5 tests fabrics with different properties, which can help select the best setting process, namely temperature and time, during the setting process, thereby achieving intelligent control for fabrics with different properties.

[0042] The limiting strip 7 is used to limit the position of the support plate 6.

[0043] Both shaping balls A11 and B13 are made of stainless steel and designed according to the curvature of paper film 9, so that the curtain fabric fits the paper film 9 completely. They can provide support during shaping and make the shaping pleats more rounded and full.

[0044] Lay the curtains on the paper film 9 according to the size, smooth out the wrinkles, and then use a shaping tool to hold them within the concave and convex curves of the paper film 9.

[0045] Spring 15 is used in conjunction with screw 14 and screw 16 to adjust the distance between the first crossbar 10 and the second crossbar 12.

[0046] The first crossbar 10, shaping ball A11, second crossbar 12, shaping ball B13, screw 14, spring 15, and screw 16 can be combined to form a telescopic mold shaping device. When in use, it can be used with a counterweight pressure tube and is suitable for paper films 9 of different specifications.

[0047] Working principle:

[0048] It should be noted that when using this shaping equipment, the eight sets of support frames that need to support the shaped curtains are transported into the equipment by overhead crane and the airtight door is closed. By pressing the start button on the operation panel, the automatic steam intake, heating, constant temperature, cooling and exhaust steps are realized. After the temperature drops to the set temperature, the airtight door is opened and the entire curtain is transported to the outside of the shaping equipment to complete the shaping operation.

[0049] When using it, first lay the curtain fabric on the paper film 9 according to the size of the paper film 9 according to the arc design, smooth out the wrinkles, and make the fabric completely fit the paper film 9. Then use the telescopic mold shaping device to be stuck in the concave and convex arc of the paper film 9. This operation can play a supporting role when shaping, making the shaped pleats more rounded and full.

[0050] The specific operating steps for the telescopic mold shaping device are as follows:

[0051] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 4 and appendix Figure 5 First, the telescopic mold shaping device, consisting of the first crossbar 10, shaping ball A11, second crossbar 12, shaping ball B13, screw 14, spring 15, and screw 16, is brought closer to the concave arc of the paper film 9, and finally the shaping balls A11 and B13 on the first crossbar 10 and the second crossbar 12 are embedded in its concave arc. Then, the screw 16 on the screw 14 is adjusted, and with the assistance of the spring 15, the distance between the first crossbar 10 and the second crossbar 12 is indirectly adjusted to adapt to the spacing of different types of paper films 9 required for the adjustment process.

[0052] Furthermore, after the curtain fabric is laid and adjusted on the paper film 9, the support frame 8 with multiple layers of paper film 9 is placed on the support plate 6 inside the shaping boiler 1. During this process, the visual recognition device 5 will identify the fabric material on the paper film 9, and thereby adjust the working parameters of electrical components such as temperature sensor 3 and steam valve 4 through the intelligent temperature control mixing box 2 to automatically adjust the shaping temperature and shaping time, so as to achieve intelligent control for fabrics with different properties, thereby obtaining products that meet the process requirements.

[0053] Please refer to the above work process. Figures 1 to 5 .
