Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yarn technology, specifically to a high-efficiency steaming device for yarn production. Background Technology

[0002] Yarn is a textile product made from various textile fibers processed to a certain fineness. It is used for weaving, rope making, thread making, knitting, and embroidery, and is divided into staple fiber yarn and continuous filament yarn. During yarn production, a steaming treatment is required. Steaming refers to a heat and moisture treatment that relaxes the yarn fibers, eliminates internal stress generated during twisting, stabilizes the yarn twist, and results in uniform unwinding tension, reducing kinking and looping.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application number 202023011644.0, which discloses a high-efficiency yarn steaming device for yarn production. The device mainly includes a base, a cover, a steaming tank, a steaming rack, a vacuum valve, a heating water tank, and a heating element. The steaming tank is mounted on the base and is a horizontal type. The cover fits snugly over the steaming tank, with its upper end hinged to the tank. The vacuum valve is located inside the steaming tank, at the center of the end furthest from the cover. The heating water tank is located inside the steaming tank at its bottom. The steaming rack is located inside the steaming tank, above the heating water tank. The heating water tank contains a heating element. The steaming rack is a mesh type. The vacuum valve is connected to a vacuum pump to evacuate the steaming tank. The heating unit is then activated to heat the water in the heating tank, generating steam for steaming. Because the steaming rack is mesh-type with perforated holes that allow steam to pass through, the steaming efficiency is improved.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent uses a vacuum valve connected to a vacuum machine to evacuate the steaming tank and activates the heating unit to heat the water in the heating tank to generate steam for steaming, and the steaming rack is made of mesh with perforated holes to allow steam to pass through, which can improve the efficiency of steaming, in actual use, the vacuum valve is not protected. After use, steam droplets remain inside the vacuum valve. When the vacuum valve is activated again, these droplets are easily sucked into the vacuum machine. Over time, this can easily lead to malfunctions in the vacuum machine, requiring maintenance, affecting the normal use of the steaming device, reducing the steaming efficiency, increasing the operating cost of the device, and causing inconvenience to the user.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to modify the system to protect the vacuum valve during the steaming process, prevent steam water from entering the vacuum valve, reduce vacuum machine malfunctions, improve the operating efficiency of the device, save operating costs, and make it more convenient for users.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the limiting mechanism includes a support plate fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the steaming tank. A movable rod is slidably connected inside the support plate. A locking block is fixedly connected to the rear end of the movable rod. A compression spring is sleeved behind the surface of the movable rod. The rear end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the front of the locking block. The front end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the back of the support plate. The front end of the movable rod extends through to the front of the steaming tank. A sealing ring is slidably connected to the front of the surface of the movable rod. The outer surface of the sealing ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steaming tank.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, T-shaped strips are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the right side of the L-shaped baffle, and T-shaped grooves that cooperate with the T-shaped strips are opened on both the front and rear sides of the right side of the inner wall of the steaming tank.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, sealing strips are fixedly connected to all four sides of the front of the cover, and a sealing groove is provided on the left side of the steaming tank to cooperate with the sealing strips.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a guardrail located on the left side of the L-shaped baffle is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the bearing plate, and an anti-collision pad is fixedly connected to the left side of the guardrail, with the left side of the anti-collision pad fitting against the right side of the steaming rack.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a ramp is fixedly connected to the left side of the heating water tank, and an anti-slip mat is fixedly connected to the top of the ramp, with anti-slip grooves provided on the surface of the anti-slip mat.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model involves removing the steaming rack from the steaming tank, hanging the yarn to be steamed on the surface of the steaming rack, inserting the steaming rack into the steaming tank, closing the lid, and injecting water into the heating water tank. The heating element raises the temperature of the water inside the tank, generating steam. When the steam accumulates to a certain amount, it pushes the sealing piston upwards. The upward movement of the sealing piston drives the push rod upwards, which in turn drives the L-shaped baffle upwards. When the sealing piston moves above the vent, the L-shaped baffle completely closes the left side of the vacuum valve pipe. Simultaneously, the L... The L-shaped baffle pushes the limiting mechanism, and then resets to lock the L-shaped baffle on the left side of the vacuum valve tube to prevent it from falling off. (When the yarn steaming is completed and no steam is generated inside the heating water tank, the limiting mechanism can be pulled forward to release the L-shaped baffle and let it fall naturally.) Afterwards, steam flows through the vent into the yarn steaming tank to steam the yarn. This achieves the effect of protecting the vacuum valve during the yarn steaming process, preventing steam water from entering the vacuum valve, reducing vacuum machine failures, improving device operating efficiency, saving operating costs, and facilitating user operation.

[0015] 2. This utility model utilizes a combination of a support plate, a moving rod, a locking block, and a compression spring. When the L-shaped baffle moves upward, its top contacts the bottom of the locking block, pushing the locking block forward until the L-shaped baffle reaches its highest position. At this point, the locking block is pressed back down by the compression spring, and its top contacts the bottom of the L-shaped baffle, thus fixing it in place. To release the L-shaped baffle, the moving rod is pulled forward, causing the locking block to move forward. The sealing ring seals the gap between the moving rod and the steaming tank, preventing air leakage from the steaming tank and ensuring its usability. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a high-efficiency steaming device for yarn production, including a steaming tank 1. A cover 2 is hinged to the left side of the steaming tank 1. A support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the steaming tank 1. A heating water tank 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 3. A heating element 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the heating water tank 4. A vacuum valve pipe 6 is connected to the right side of the steaming tank 1, and the right end of the vacuum valve pipe 6 is connected to a vacuum machine. A steaming rack 7 located inside the steaming tank 1 is installed on the top of the support plate 3. A water injection valve pipe is connected to the left side of the front of the heating water tank 4, and a one-way valve is installed inside the water injection valve pipe, with the output end of the one-way valve facing the heating water tank 4. A drain valve pipe is connected to the right side of the front of the heating water tank 4. The support plate 3 has openings on both the front and rear sides. A circular groove running vertically through the interior of the steaming tank 1 is provided, and a hollow tube sleeve 8 is fixedly connected inside the groove. An L-shaped baffle 9 is slidably connected to the right side of the inner wall of the steaming tank 1. Push rods 10 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the L-shaped baffle 9. The bottom end of the push rod 10 passes through the interior of the hollow tube sleeve 8 and is fixedly connected to a sealing piston 11. The outer surface of the sealing piston 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow tube sleeve 8. An air outlet 12 is provided on the upper left side of the hollow tube sleeve 8. The distance from the top of the sealing piston 11 to the top of the inner wall of the hollow tube sleeve 8 is greater than the distance from the top of the L-shaped baffle 9 to the top of the vacuum valve tube 6. A limiting mechanism 13 is provided on the right side of the inner wall of the steaming tank 1 to cooperate with the L-shaped baffle 9. A pressure gauge and a pressure relief valve are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the back of the steaming tank 1.

[0023] refer to Figure 4The limiting mechanism 13 includes a support plate 14 fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the steaming tank 1. A moving rod 15 is slidably connected inside the support plate 14. A locking block 16 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the moving rod 15. A compression spring 17 is sleeved behind the surface of the moving rod 15. The rear end of the compression spring 17 is fixedly connected to the front of the locking block 16. The front end of the compression spring 17 is fixedly connected to the back of the support plate 14. The front end of the moving rod 15 extends through to the front of the steaming tank 1. A sealing ring 18 is slidably connected to the front of the surface of the moving rod 15. The outer surface of the sealing ring 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steaming tank 1.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up the support plate 14, the moving rod 15, the locking block 16 and the compression spring 17 in cooperation, when the L-shaped baffle 9 moves upward, its top contacts the bottom of the locking block 16, pushing the locking block 16 to move forward until the L-shaped baffle 9 moves to the top. The locking block 16 is then reset by the pressure of the compression spring 17 and contacts the bottom of the L-shaped baffle 9 to fix it. When it is necessary to release the fixation of the L-shaped baffle 9, the moving rod 15 is pulled forward, which drives the locking block 16 to move forward. By setting the sealing ring 18, the gap between the moving rod 15 and the steaming tank 1 is sealed, so as to avoid the steaming tank 1 from leaking air and affecting its use.

[0025] refer to Figure 3 T-shaped strips 19 are fixedly connected to both the front and back sides of the right side of the L-shaped baffle 9. T-shaped grooves 20 are provided on both the front and back sides of the right side of the inner wall of the steaming tank 1 to cooperate with the T-shaped strips 19. The surface of the T-shaped strips 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the T-shaped grooves 20.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the T-shaped strip 19 and the T-shaped groove 20 in cooperation, when the L-shaped baffle 9 moves up and down, the T-shaped strip 19 slides up and down inside the T-shaped groove 20, which has the effect of limiting and reinforcing the L-shaped baffle 9, and avoids the L-shaped baffle 9 from tilting and falling off when it moves, which would affect normal use.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 Sealing strips 21 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the front of the cover door 2, and a sealing groove 22 is provided on the left side of the steaming tank 1 to cooperate with the sealing strips 21.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the sealing strip 21 and the sealing groove 22 in cooperation, when the cover 2 is closed, the sealing strip 21 enters the interior of the sealing groove 22, which has a sealing effect on the gap between the cover 2 and the contact surface of the steaming tank 1, thus avoiding air leakage on the left side of the steaming tank 1 and affecting its use.

[0029] refer to Figure 3The top right side of the bearing plate 3 is fixedly connected to a guardrail 23 located on the left side of the L-shaped baffle 9. The left side of the guardrail 23 is fixedly connected to an anti-collision pad 24, and the left side of the anti-collision pad 24 is attached to the right side of the steaming rack 7.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the combination of guardrail 23 and anti-collision pad 24 protects the L-shaped baffle 9 and the steaming rack 7, preventing the right side of the steaming rack 7 from colliding with the L-shaped baffle 9 and being damaged when the steaming rack 7 is pushed into the steaming tank 1, thus affecting its use.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 A ramp 25 is fixedly connected to the left side of the heating water tank 4, and an anti-slip pad 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the ramp 25. The surface of the anti-slip pad 26 is provided with anti-slip grooves.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a ramp 25, rollers are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the steaming rack 7 to facilitate its movement. Setting a ramp 25 makes it easy to send the steaming rack 7 into or out of the steaming tank 1. By setting an anti-slip pad 26, the friction between the bottom of the steaming rack 7 and the surface of the ramp 25 is increased, making it easier to move.

[0033] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The steaming rack 7 is pulled out of the steaming tank 1, the yarn to be steamed is hung on the surface of the steaming rack 7, the steaming rack 7 is inserted into the steaming tank 1, the lid 2 is closed, and water is injected into the heating water tank 4. The heating element 5 raises the temperature of the water inside the heating water tank 4, generating steam. When the steam accumulates to a certain amount, it pushes the sealing piston 11 upwards. The upward movement of the sealing piston 11 drives the push rod 10 upwards, which in turn drives the L-shaped baffle 9 upwards. When the sealing piston 11 moves above the air outlet 12, the L-shaped baffle 9 closes the vacuum valve. When the left side of the vacuum valve tube 6 is completely closed, the L-shaped baffle 9 pushes the limiting mechanism 13, and then resets to lock the L-shaped baffle 9 on the left side of the vacuum valve tube 6 to prevent it from falling off. When the steaming is completed and no steam is generated inside the heating water tank 4, the limiting mechanism 13 can be pulled forward to release the fixation of the L-shaped baffle 9, allowing it to fall naturally. Then, the steam flows through the vent 12 into the steaming tank 1 to steam the yarn. This achieves the effect of protecting the vacuum valve during the steaming process, preventing steam water from entering the vacuum valve, reducing vacuum machine failures, improving device operating efficiency, saving operating costs, and facilitating user operation.
