Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spunlace nonwoven fabric production technology, and in particular to drying equipment used in the production of spunlace nonwoven fabric. Background Technology

[0002] Spunlace nonwoven fabric is a fabric made by spraying high-pressure micro-streams of water onto one or more layers of fiber web, causing the fibers to entangle together and thus strengthening the web to a certain strength. After production, it needs to be dried. During drying, steam is generally generated by a steam boiler and introduced into the heating elements of the drying equipment, such as heating rollers or heating plates. The heating elements transfer heat to the spunlace nonwoven fabric in contact with them, causing the moisture to evaporate.

[0003] In the existing technology, when drying spunlace nonwoven fabric, the operator directly contacts the surface of the spunlace nonwoven fabric with the surface of the heating roller for heating and drying. However, spunlace nonwoven fabric contains a lot of moisture, and it takes a lot of time to evaporate all the moisture when heating the spunlace nonwoven fabric, resulting in poor drying efficiency. Therefore, we have designed a drying equipment for the production of spunlace nonwoven fabric to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing a drying device for the production of spunlace nonwoven fabrics.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] Drying equipment for spunlace nonwoven fabric production includes a base, a vertical plate and a mounting frame fixedly installed on the top of the base, two heating rollers mounted on the mounting frame, a processing mechanism on the front side wall of the vertical plate, the processing mechanism including a fixed frame fixedly installed on the front side wall of the vertical plate, an air pump fixedly installed through the fixed frame, an air outlet nozzle communicating with the interior of the air pump fixedly installed at the output end of the air pump, an air inlet pipe communicating with the interior of the air pump fixedly installed at the input end of the air pump, the air inlet pipe being fixedly connected to the fixed frame, a mounting frame communicating with the interior of the air inlet pipe fixedly installed at the end of the air inlet pipe, and an air inlet nozzle communicating with the interior of the air inlet frame fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame.

[0007] Preferably, an automatic winding roller is mounted on the top of the base.

[0008] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting bracket, and a collection basin is placed on the top of the mounting plate, with the collection basin located directly below the air outlet.

[0009] Preferably, two vertical rods are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate, and a support plate is fixedly installed on the top of each of the two vertical rods.

[0010] Preferably, both the air outlet and the air inlet are tapered, with the larger opening at the top and the smaller opening at the bottom.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the base is equipped with multiple locking casters.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. Through the design of the processing mechanism, when heating and drying the spunlace nonwoven fabric, most of the moisture contained in the spunlace nonwoven fabric can be blown off, which greatly reduces the moisture content in the spunlace nonwoven fabric, greatly reduces the time required for subsequent drying, and improves drying efficiency.

[0014] 2. Through the configuration of air pump, air inlet pipe, mounting frame and air inlet nozzle, after the spunlace nonwoven fabric is heated and dried, the air pump works to generate negative pressure at the port of the air inlet nozzle on the mounting frame, causing the air around the dried spunlace nonwoven fabric to flow rapidly and accelerate the cooling speed of the spunlace nonwoven fabric.

[0015] In summary, the present invention has a reasonable structural design. When heating and drying spunlace nonwoven fabric, it can blow off most of the moisture contained in the spunlace nonwoven fabric, greatly reducing the moisture content in the spunlace nonwoven fabric, significantly reducing the time required for subsequent drying, and improving drying efficiency.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-2A drying device for spunlace nonwoven fabric production includes a base 1, with multiple locking casters mounted on the bottom of the base 1. An automatic winding roller 5 is mounted on the top of the base 1. A vertical plate 2 and a mounting frame 3 are fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1. A mounting plate 6 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mounting frame 3. Two vertical rods 8 are fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 6, and support plates 9 are fixedly mounted on the top of each of the two vertical rods 8. A collection basin 7 is placed on the top of the mounting plate 6, located directly below an air outlet 13. Two heating rollers 4 are mounted on the mounting frame 3. A processing mechanism is provided on the front side wall of the vertical plate 2 for processing... The mechanism includes a fixed frame 10 fixedly mounted on the front side wall of the vertical plate 2. An air pump 11 is fixedly mounted through the fixed frame 10. An air outlet 13, which communicates with the interior of the air pump 11, is fixedly mounted at the output end of the air pump 11. An air inlet pipe 12, which communicates with the interior of the air pump 11, is fixedly mounted at the input end of the air pump 11. The air inlet pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 10. A mounting frame 14, which communicates with the interior of the air inlet pipe 12, is fixedly mounted at the end of the mounting frame 14. An air inlet 15, which communicates with the interior of the mounting frame 14, is fixedly mounted at the bottom. Both the air outlet 13 and the air inlet 15 are tapered, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Through the arrangement of the air pump 11, air inlet pipe 12, mounting frame 14, and air inlet 15, after the spunlace nonwoven fabric has been heated and dried, the air pump 11 creates a negative pressure at the port of the air inlet 15 on the mounting frame 14 when it is working. This causes the air around the dried spunlace nonwoven fabric to flow rapidly, accelerating the cooling speed of the spunlace nonwoven fabric.

[0021] By using a processing mechanism, most of the moisture contained in the spunlace nonwoven fabric can be blown off during the heating and drying process, greatly reducing the moisture content of the spunlace nonwoven fabric, significantly reducing the time required for subsequent drying, and improving drying efficiency.

[0022] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0023] Equipment Preparation: Move the drying equipment to the designated position using the locking casters at the bottom, then lock the casters to ensure stable placement. Check that all connections of the equipment components are secure, such as the connection between the vertical plate 2, mounting bracket 3 and base 1, and the installation of the heating roller 4. Check the air pump 11, air inlet pipe 12, air outlet 13, air inlet 15, and other processing mechanism components for damage or blockage, ensuring unobstructed airflow. Check that the collection basin 7 is placed correctly on top of the mounting plate 6, directly below the air outlet 13, to collect the blown-off moisture. Connect the power supply, start the equipment, and check that the heating roller 4 heats up normally and that the air pump 11 works properly.

[0024] Pre-drying treatment: Wrap one end of the spunlace nonwoven fabric to be dried around the heating roller 4 to ensure full contact between the nonwoven fabric and the heating roller 4, preparing for subsequent drying. Turn on the air pump 11, which draws in air through the air inlet pipe 12 and delivers air to the air outlet 13. The air outlet 13 is a cone shape with a larger top and a smaller bottom, which accelerates the airflow. The high-speed airflow blows towards the spunlace nonwoven fabric, blowing off most of the moisture on the nonwoven fabric, which falls into the collection basin 7 below, reducing the moisture content of the nonwoven fabric.

[0025] Drying Operation: The operator winds the nonwoven fabric onto the automatic winding roller 5 and starts the automatic winding roller 5. The automatic winding roller 5 works to wind the nonwoven fabric, while the heating roller 4 is activated. The heating roller 4 begins to heat and dry the pre-dried spunlace nonwoven fabric. The heating roller 4 continuously provides heat, causing the remaining moisture on the nonwoven fabric to evaporate, completing the drying process. During the drying process, the drying status of the nonwoven fabric is observed to ensure uniform drying effect. If any abnormalities are found, the temperature of the heating roller 4 is adjusted promptly, or the equipment operation is checked.

[0026] Cooling process: After drying, continue operating the air pump 11 for a period of time. During this time, the air pump 11 draws air in through the air inlet 15. Since the air inlet 15 is a cone shape with a larger top and a smaller bottom, a negative pressure is generated at the port, causing the air around the dried spunlace nonwoven fabric to flow rapidly. The rapidly flowing air carries away the heat from the nonwoven fabric, accelerating its cooling speed and facilitating subsequent winding operations.

[0027] End of work: After cooling is complete, turn off air pump 11 to stop air flow. Turn off heating roller 4 to stop heating. Remove the dried and cooled spunlace nonwoven fabric from the equipment and place it in the designated location. Clean the water and debris from the collection basin 7, perform a simple cleaning of the equipment, and prepare it for the next use.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
