Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of textile fabric processing, and in particular to a pleating device for textile fabrics. Background Technology

[0002] A pleating machine is a process that uses pressure under certain temperature and humidity conditions to shape fabric into a series of pointed or rounded pleats. In addition to hand pleating, pressing irons or irons, there are also specialized pleating machines.

[0003] A pleating device for clothing fabrics, disclosed in the specification of Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220813203U, relates to the field of clothing fabric processing technology. The proposed solution includes a base with a support mounted on its top. A lifting rod is mounted in the middle of the support, and a pressure plate is connected to the end of the lifting rod. Guide rods are provided on both sides of the top of the pressure plate, an upper folding plate is mounted on the bottom of the pressure plate, a heating module is provided on the top of the pressure plate, and an installation mechanism is provided below the pressure plate. By setting the installation mechanism, the entire fabric can be pleated through the fold lines between the upper and lower folding plates. Simultaneously, the upper folding plate is equipped with a heating module. Simply placing the fabric on top of the lower folding plate and controlling the lifting rod to raise and lower the pressure plate facilitates the pleating operation, ensuring the effectiveness of the equipment and guaranteeing stable and convenient folding operations without manual folding, saving time and effort.

[0004] The proposed solution has the following problems: The device uses a heating module inside the upper folding plate. The fabric is placed on top of the lower folding plate, and the lifting rod is used to raise and lower the pressure plate, thus stabilizing and adjusting the position of the upper folding plate for pressing and pleating. However, this solution has several issues. For example, after prolonged use, fabric fibers or stains may remain on the surfaces of the upper and lower folding plates. These residues can damage the smoothness and fit of the surfaces, causing uneven pressure on the fabric. This results in inconsistent pleat width and depth, compromising the precision of the pleating operation. Furthermore, it hinders the even distribution of heat, leading to insufficient or excessive heating in certain areas, affecting the stable formation of pleats and making them prone to unraveling or deformation. Additionally, during the pleating process, residual fibers or stains on the folding plate surface may transfer to the fabric surface, especially for light-colored or high-end fabrics. This contamination can directly affect the fabric's appearance and even render it unusable.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this application provides a pleating device for textile fabrics. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the issue that after long-term use, fabric fibers or stains may remain on the surfaces of the upper and lower folding plates, which can damage the flatness and fit of the surfaces, resulting in uneven pressure on the fabric and causing inconsistent pleat width and depth, thus compromising the accuracy of the pleating operation, this application provides a pleating device for textile fabrics.

[0007] This application provides a pleating device for textile fabrics, comprising a pressure plate and an upper folding plate. The upper folding plate is disposed at the bottom of the pressure plate, and a cleaning device is disposed on one side of the top of the pressure plate. The cleaning device includes: A sliding groove is provided through one side of the top of the pressure plate. A slider is slidably installed in the sliding groove. An L-shaped plate is snapped into the top of the slider. A lifting column is slidably connected to the inner cavity of one side of the L-shaped plate. An air jet box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting column. Multiple air jet holes are provided through one side of the air jet box near the upper folding plate. An air pump is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped plate. An air supply pipe is connected to one side of the air pump and is connected to one side of the air jet box. A lifting device is installed inside the L-shaped plate; A drive assembly is provided on the top of the pressure plate.

[0008] Preferably, guide plates are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the inner cavity of the jet box, and the two guide plates are inclined.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the pressure plate is provided with a lifting structure.

[0010] Preferably, a bracket is fixedly connected to the lifting structure.

[0011] Preferably, a base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket.

[0012] Preferably, the lifting device includes: The L-shaped plate is rotatably connected to a screw, and the top of the lifting column is rotatably connected to a rotating plate. The screw passes through the rotating plate and is threadedly connected to the rotating plate. The lifting column has a through-hole for receiving, and the screw is adapted to the receiving cavity. The top of the L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to a motor, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the top of the screw through a coupling.

[0013] Preferably, both sides of the slider and the slide groove are fixedly connected with folding dustproof plates.

[0014] Preferably, the driving component includes: A lead screw is rotatably connected inside the slide groove. The lead screw passes through the slider and is threadedly connected to the slider. A motor is fixedly connected to one side of the pressure plate, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the lead screw through a coupling.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: In this invention, an air pump and air supply pipe supply air into the jet box. The airflow passes through two guide plates and is directed into multiple jet pipes within the upward-folding plate. A screw rotates on a rotating plate, causing the screw's threads to move the rotating plate and lifting column downwards. The lifting column then moves the jet box downwards until it reaches a position parallel to the lower folding plate. This cleans residual fabric fibers, stains, and dust from the upper and lower folding plates, maintaining the flatness and fit of the outer surface of the folding plates. This prevents uneven fabric stress caused by impurities and ensures smooth folds. The consistency and precision of the folding plate reduce pleating defects caused by inadequate cleaning. Removing impurities from the folding plate surface reduces its obstruction to heat transfer from the heating module, allowing heat to be applied more evenly to the fabric. This ensures that the pleats are fully and stably shaped, reducing the probability of pleats coming undone or deforming, and improving the quality of fabric processing. Timely cleaning of stains and fibers on the folding plate can prevent these impurities from transferring to the fabric surface during the pleating process. This is especially effective for light-colored and high-end fabrics, maintaining the cleanliness of the fabric, reducing the fabric scrap rate caused by contamination, and saving production costs.

[0016] In this invention, a lifting structure is incorporated. A screw drives a rotating plate to rotate, and the screw's thread causes the rotating plate and lifting column to move downwards. The lifting column then moves the air jet box downwards, and the air supply pipe supplies air inwards, causing the air jet box to spray air into the lower folding plate. This effectively cleans residual fabric fibers, stains, and dust from the lower folding plate. The air jet box is precisely moved down to the lower folding plate, allowing the airflow to directly act on the surface and gaps of the lower folding plate. Compared to fixed-position air jetting, this method can more comprehensively cover the cleaning area of ​​the lower folding plate, effectively removing residual fabric fibers, stains, and dust, avoiding cleaning dead corners, reducing wear on the surface of the lower folding plate during pleating, protecting the structural integrity of the lower folding plate, reducing maintenance and replacement frequency, and saving equipment costs.
