Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of humidification and shaping tank technology, specifically a humidification and shaping tank for spandex yarn. Background Technology
[0002] Spandex yarn humidification and setting tanks are key equipment used for humidification and setting in the production process of spandex. Their main function is to improve the physical properties of spandex yarn (such as elasticity, dimensional stability, and surface smoothness) by controlling conditions such as temperature, humidity, and pressure, so as to meet the needs of subsequent textile processing.
[0003] Existing patent document CN211005949U discloses a spandex yarn humidification and shaping tank, including a tank body. A fixing frame is fixedly installed on the left side of the inner cavity of the tank body, and a rotating shaft is movably installed on the right side of the inner cavity of the tank body. The rotating shaft passes through the tank body and is located on the outside of the tank body. Both the left end of the rotating shaft and the left end of the fixing frame have external threads, and nuts are provided on both external threads. A roller is provided on the rotating shaft, and a baffle is fixedly installed on the right end of the roller on the rotating shaft. This utility model supports the roller containing spandex yarn through the fixing frame, then limits the roller by connecting the nut and the external thread. Then, one end of the spandex yarn is fixedly installed on the roller. Then, the tank door is closed, steam is introduced into the humidification pipeline, and then the rotating motor is started to drive the roller to rotate, simultaneously pressing and humidifying the spandex yarn onto the roller, thus solving the problem of uneven humidification and shaping of spandex yarn.
[0004] However, existing spandex yarn humidifying and shaping tanks typically require heating elements to heat and evaporate water to generate steam for humidification and to reach a sufficient temperature inside the tank to humidify and shape the spandex yarn. However, it is difficult to recover and utilize the waste heat generated during the humidification and shaping process, resulting in poor environmental performance of the humidifying and shaping tank. Therefore, we propose a new type of spandex yarn humidifying and shaping tank. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a spandex yarn humidification and shaping tank to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a spandex yarn humidification and shaping tank, comprising a humidification and shaping unit, the humidification and shaping unit comprising a tank body, the inner wall of which is fitted with a heat insulation layer, and an inner tank is fitted on the inner wall of the heat insulation layer; a support plate and a heating rod are bolted to the inside of the tank body; a sealing unit comprising a connecting bracket welded to one side of one end of the tank body, a connecting hinge hinged to the inner side of the connecting bracket, and a sealing door welded to one side of the connecting hinge; and a heat recovery unit comprising a heat exchange pipe embedded inside the heat insulation layer, a delivery pipe and a return pipe welded to both ends of the heat exchange pipe, a pump threaded to one end of the delivery pipe, and a heat storage box welded to the input end of the pump.
[0007] Preferably, a support frame is welded to the outer side of the bottom of the tank, and a drain pipe and a water inlet pipe pass through the center of the bottom of the tank.
[0008] Preferably, a control box is bolted to one side of the tank, and a display screen and operation buttons are embedded on one side of the control box.
[0009] Preferably, the interior of the tank is equipped with a mounting bracket located on top of the support plate, and the top of the support plate has a steam port.
[0010] Preferably, a door handle is bolted to the front of the sealed door, and a lock plate is welded to one side of the sealed door.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the heat storage tank is threaded with a liquid filling cap, the bottom of the heat storage tank is welded with support legs at the four corners, and the heat storage tank is fixedly connected to the return pipe.
[0012] This utility model provides a spandex yarn humidification and shaping tank, which has the following beneficial effects: With the heat recovery unit in place, when using the spandex yarn humidifying and shaping tank, the operator adds an appropriate amount of water to the tank through the water inlet pipe, then places the spandex yarn on the mounting rack, closes the sealing door to the tank, and activates the heating rod via the control box. The heating rod then heats the water, causing it to evaporate and generate steam. This steam then acts on the spandex yarn on the mounting rack through the steam outlet, humidifying the yarn and simultaneously raising the tank temperature. When the temperature reaches the set value, because the heat exchange tube is located within the insulation layer and one side is attached to the inner tank, the pump draws liquid from inside the heat storage tank. The liquid enters the heat exchange tube through the delivery pipe, where it is heated by the heat inside the tank, thus achieving heat exchange. The liquid then returns through the return pipe to the heat storage tank for storage. This allows the spandex yarn humidifying and shaping tank to recover and utilize the generated waste heat, thereby improving its environmental friendliness. Attached Figure Description

The inner wall of the tank body 101 is equipped with a heat insulation layer 108, and the inner wall of the heat insulation layer 108 is equipped with an inner tank 109. A support plate 110 and a heating rod 112 are bolted to the inside of the tank body 101. A sealing unit 2 includes a connecting bracket 201 welded to one side of one end of the tank body 101. A connecting hinge 202 is hinged to the inner side of the connecting bracket 201, and a sealing door 203 is welded to one side of the connecting hinge 202. A heat recovery unit 3 includes a heat exchange pipe 301 embedded inside the heat insulation layer 108. A delivery pipe 302 and a return pipe 303 are welded to both ends of the heat exchange pipe 301. A pump 304 is threaded to one end of the delivery pipe 302, and a heat storage box 305 is welded to the input end of the pump 304.
[0017] Furthermore, a support frame 102 is welded to the outer side of the bottom of the tank 101. A drain pipe 103 and a water inlet pipe 104 are respectively inserted through the center of the bottom of the tank 101. Water can be added into the tank 101 through the water inlet pipe 104 and water can be discharged through the drain pipe 103, thus serving the purpose of water replacement.
[0018] Furthermore, a control box 105 is bolted to one side of the tank body 101. A display screen 106 and operation buttons 107 are embedded on one side of the control box 105, which facilitates the operation and control of the humidification and shaping tank by the staff.
[0019] Furthermore, an mounting bracket 113 is installed inside the tank body 101 on top of the support plate 110. A steam port 111 is provided on the top of the support plate 110. Spandex yarn can be installed through the mounting bracket 113, and steam can be discharged through the steam port 111 to act on the spandex yarn.
[0020] Furthermore, a door handle 204 is bolted to the front of the sealed door 203, and a lock plate 205 is welded to one side of the sealed door 203, so that the staff can easily open and close the sealed door 203 through the door handle 204.
[0021] Furthermore, the top of the heat storage box 305 is threaded with a liquid filling cap 306, and the bottom of the heat storage box 305 is welded with support legs 307 at the four corners. The heat storage box 305 is fixedly connected to the return pipe 303. The support legs 307 make the heat storage box 305 more stable.
