Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fabric softener emulsification, specifically an emulsification device for a fabric softener. Background Technology

[0002] Fabric softeners are chemical substances that alter the surface properties of fibers, thereby increasing the softness and comfort of fabrics. Softeners primarily work by reducing the static coefficient of friction between fibers, making fibers or fabrics feel smoother and softer to the touch. To improve their stability and uniformity, ensuring even distribution on the fiber surface during fabric finishing to achieve the desired softening effect, existing fabric softeners require emulsification.

[0003] In existing fabric softeners, the softener raw material silicone oil is mixed with an emulsifier during emulsification to form a stable emulsion. When the silicone oil and emulsifier are stirred, they are subject to centrifugal force and will stick to the inner wall of the mixing tank. Because a heating device is connected to the outer wall of the mixing tank during emulsification, the emulsifier stuck to the inner wall of the mixing tank cannot be scraped off in time, which leads to changes in the automatic structure of the emulsifier and the possibility of increased emulsifier adhesion, resulting in a decrease in the emulsification efficiency of the softener. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an emulsification device for a fiber fabric softener to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An emulsification device for a fiber fabric softener includes a mixing tank, in which a mixing assembly is rotatably disposed. The mixing assembly includes a collar and a plurality of first mixing blades and second mixing blades disposed along the axial direction of the collar. The second mixing blades are movable relative to the first mixing blades. An adjustable pressure element is disposed in the first mixing blades to change the pressure of the second mixing blades on the inner wall of the mixing tank.

[0007] A reciprocating lifting component is installed inside the mixing tank and connected to the collar to change the mixing position of the mixing assembly;

[0008] It also includes a stirring shaft rotatably installed inside the mixing tank, the reciprocating lifting component being connected to the stirring shaft via a speed-increasing transmission component, and a plurality of elastic connecting components being hinged axially on the stirring shaft, with the end of the elastic connecting component away from the stirring shaft being hinged to an adjustable pressure component.

[0009] The emulsification device for the fabric softener described above: the reciprocating lifting component includes a drive shaft rotatably installed inside the mixing tank, one end of the drive shaft extending through and outside the mixing tank is driven to rotate by a motor installed on the mixing tank, and a groove is formed on the drive shaft;

[0010] It also includes a sleeve arranged axially along the drive shaft, and the inner wall of the sleeve is provided with balls that slide in cooperation with the groove.

[0011] The emulsification device for the fabric softener as described above: the speed-increasing transmission component includes a gear set, the gear set including a first gear and a second gear respectively mounted on the drive shaft and the transmission shaft, and the transmission shaft is connected to the stirring shaft via a toothed belt.

[0012] The emulsification device for the fiber fabric softener as described above: the elastic connector includes a plug-in sleeve rod, one end of which is hinged to the stirring shaft, and the other end is slidably provided with a connecting rod, the end of which is away from the plug-in sleeve rod and is hinged to the adjustable pressure member;

[0013] It also includes a first spring, which is disposed inside the plug-in sleeve rod. One end of the plug-in sleeve rod is connected to the inner end of the plug-in sleeve rod, and the other end is connected to the connecting rod.

[0014] The emulsification device for the fiber fabric softener as described above: the collar is arranged along the axial direction of the sleeve and is rotatably connected to the sleeve.

[0015] The emulsification device for the fabric softener described above: an inner groove is formed at the end of the first stirring blade away from the collar.

[0016] The emulsification device for the fiber fabric softener as described above: the adjustable pressure member includes an extrusion block slidably disposed in the inner groove, one end of the extrusion block extending out of the inner groove being hinged to the connecting rod;

[0017] It also includes a second spring, which is disposed in the inner groove, with one end of the second spring abutting the extrusion block and the other end abutting the second stirring blade.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] Driven by the reciprocating lifting component, the stirring assembly rises vertically along the axis of the mixing tank to change the stirring position, further increasing the stirring area of ​​the softener and emulsifier in the mixing tank. While the stirring assembly is stirring, the second stirring blade is always in contact with the inner wall of the mixing tank, effectively removing the adhering substances on the inner wall of the mixing tank. When the stirring assembly rises to a certain height, the pressure of the second stirring blade on the mixing tank further increases. This increase in pressure helps to more effectively handle substances with strong adhesion, thereby improving the emulsification effect and uniformity.

[0020] By adopting a speed-increasing transmission component, the stirring speed of the stirring assembly can be increased to be greater than the lifting speed, ensuring that when the second stirring blade is stirring, the inner wall of the stirring tank can be effectively cleaned before the stirring position is changed.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements that have the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0030] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments.

[0031] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented even without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, and elements well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-7 In this embodiment of the present invention, an emulsification device for a fiber fabric softener includes a mixing tank 1. A mixing assembly is rotatably disposed inside the mixing tank 1. The mixing assembly includes a collar 10 and a plurality of first mixing blades 11 and second mixing blades 12 disposed along the axial direction of the collar 10. The second mixing blades 12 are movable relative to the first mixing blades 11. An adjustable pressure element is disposed inside the first mixing blades 11 to change the pressure of the second mixing blades 12 on the inner wall of the mixing tank 1.

[0033] A reciprocating lifting component is installed inside the mixing tank 1 and connected to the collar 10 to change the mixing position of the mixing assembly;

[0034] It also includes a stirring shaft 6 rotatably installed in the stirring tank 1. The reciprocating lifting component is connected to the stirring shaft 6 through a speed-increasing transmission component. Multiple elastic connecting components are hinged along the axial direction on the stirring shaft 6. The end of the elastic connecting component away from the stirring shaft 6 is hinged to an adjustable pressure component.

[0035] It should be noted that when silicone oil is used as the softener, its molecular weight is greater than that of the emulsifier, resulting in the initial volume of silicone oil in the mixing tank 1 being greater than that of the emulsifier. As a result, silicone oil and emulsifier separate into layers in the mixing tank 1, with silicone oil in the lower layer and emulsifier in the upper layer. However, the viscosity of the emulsifier is greater than that of the silicone oil, making it easier for the silicone oil to adhere to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the softener and emulsifier in the mixing tank 1 are mixed, the reciprocating lifting component is activated. At the same time, under the action of the speed-increasing adjustment component, the stirring shaft 6 is driven to rotate synchronously, thereby ensuring the stirring rate of the stirring assembly. When the stirring assembly performs stirring work, driven by the reciprocating lifting component, the stirring assembly rises vertically along the axial direction of the mixing tank 1 to change the stirring position, further increasing the stirring area of ​​the softener and emulsifier in the mixing tank 1. While the stirring assembly is stirring, the second stirring blade 12 is always in contact with the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, realizing the effective removal of the adhering material on the inner wall of the mixing tank 1. When the stirring assembly rises to a certain height, the pressure of the second stirring blade 12 on the mixing tank 1 further increases. This increase in pressure helps to more effectively handle substances with strong adhesion, thereby improving the emulsification effect and uniformity.

[0037] For further solutions to this utility model, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The reciprocating lifting component includes a drive shaft 4 rotatably installed inside the mixing tank 1. One end of the drive shaft 4, which passes through and extends out of the mixing tank 1, is driven to rotate by a motor 2 installed on the mixing tank 1. A sliding groove 401 is formed on the drive shaft 4.

[0038] It also includes a sleeve 9 arranged axially along the drive shaft 4, and a ball bearing 901 movably disposed on the inner wall of the sleeve 9 to slide in cooperation with the slide groove 401.

[0039] The speed-increasing transmission component includes a gear set 7, which includes a first gear and a second gear respectively mounted on the drive shaft 4 and the transmission shaft 5. The transmission shaft 5 is connected to the stirring shaft 6 via a toothed belt 8.

[0040] Preferably, the drive shaft 5 and the stirring shaft 6 are rotatably mounted inside the mixing tank 1 via the support plate 3.

[0041] Specifically, when mixing is carried out in the mixing tank 1, the motor 2 is started. The output shaft of the motor 2 is fixed to the drive shaft 4, so that when the output shaft rotates, it drives the drive shaft 4 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the sliding groove 401 on the drive shaft 4 generates an inclined force on the ball 901. The sleeve 9 is restricted by the stirring shaft 6 and moves linearly along the axis of the drive shaft 4, so that the stirring position of the first stirring blade 11 and the second stirring blade 12 can be changed, further increasing the stirring area of ​​the first stirring blade 11 and the second stirring blade 12, so that the softener and emulsifier in the mixing tank 1 can be fully mixed, and the mixing efficiency of the softener and emulsifier can be increased.

[0042] It should be noted that the rotational speed of the drive shaft 4 must be much lower than that of the stirring shaft 6. This slows down the lifting and lowering speed of the stirring assembly, ensuring that the inner wall of the stirring tank 1 can be effectively cleaned before the stirring position is changed when the second stirring blade 12 is stirring.

[0043] For further solutions to this utility model, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The elastic connector includes a plug-in sleeve 13, one end of which is hinged to the stirring shaft 6, and the other end is slidably provided with a connecting rod 15, the end of which away from the plug-in sleeve 13 is hinged to the adjustable pressure member.

[0044] It also includes a first spring 14, which is disposed inside the plug-in sleeve 13. One end of the plug-in sleeve 13 is connected to the inner end of the plug-in sleeve 13, and the other end is connected to the connecting rod 15.

[0045] Preferably, the collar 10 is arranged along the axial direction of the sleeve 9 and is rotatably connected to the sleeve 9.

[0046] Preferably, the end of the first stirring blade 11 away from the collar 10 has an embedded groove 1101.

[0047] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the adjustable pressure member includes a pressing block 16 slidably disposed in the inner groove 1101, and one end of the pressing block 16 extending out of the inner groove 1101 is hinged to the connecting rod 15.

[0048] It also includes a second spring 17, which is disposed in the inner groove 1101. One end of the second spring 17 abuts against the extrusion block 16, and the other end abuts against the second stirring blade 12.

[0049] Initially, the second spring 17 is compressed. At this time, the elastic potential energy of the first spring 14 is less than that of the second spring 17. When the sleeve 9 moves upward along the axis of the drive shaft 4, it drives the first stirring blade 11 and the second stirring blade 12 to change their stirring position. At the same time, the connecting rod 15 moves towards the insertion sleeve 13 and squeezes the first spring 14 until the elastic potential energy of the first spring 14 is greater than that of the second spring 17. When the first stirring blade 11 and the second stirring blade 12 continue to move upward, the connecting rod 15 squeezes the extrusion block 16, causing the extrusion block 16 to move towards the second spring 17 and further compress the second spring 17. This increases the pressure of the second stirring blade 12 on the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, effectively scraping off the emulsion with a high degree of adhesion on the upper layer of the mixing tank 1, and avoiding excessive pressure on the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 by the second stirring blade 12, which would cause wear on the second stirring blade 12.

[0050] When the first stirring blade 11 and the second stirring blade 12 rise to the highest point of their stroke, the second spring 17 is not fully compressed. This ensures that the second stirring blade 12 can always be in contact with the inside of the mixing tank 1. At the same time, when encountering emulsifiers with excessive adhesion that need to be scraped off multiple times, the second stirring blade 12 can make slight repositioning, thus protecting the second stirring blade 12.

[0051] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0052] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
