Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wool strip processing technology, and in particular to a wool strip conveying and humidifying mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Maintaining the stability of various parameters in wool tops requires humidification to keep them at a certain level of moisture, thereby improving the fiber properties of the wool fibers. Humidification also eliminates static electricity and reduces breakage during transport. However, existing wool top humidification devices suffer from poor humidification quality, low efficiency, and inability to uniformly humidify every surface of the wool top.
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, prior art patent application number 202023303240.9 discloses a humidification device for wool tops. This device uses two sets of atomizing nozzles arranged vertically side by side, with each set of nozzles divided into two rows of opposing spray nozzles. Wool fibers then pass sequentially through the interior of the two sets of nozzles, forming a 90° rotating V-shape in the vertical plane, thereby achieving thorough humidification of the wool tops and improving humidification efficiency and uniformity. In the aforementioned prior art, because the wool tops pass obliquely between the two rows of vertically opposing spray nozzles, the atomizing nozzles in the upper and lower rows, which have a larger distance from the wool tops, have a less effective humidification effect on the wool tops compared to the lower spray nozzles, thus significantly impacting the humidification uniformity of the wool tops. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a wool strip conveying and humidifying mechanism to solve the problem that the humidifying effect of the upward sprayed water mist on the wool strip is worse than that of the downward sprayed water mist on the wool strip, and has a greater impact on the humidification uniformity of the wool strip.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a wool strip conveying and humidifying mechanism, including a humidifying tank and an end groove provided on one end of the humidifying tank; A horizontal axis, coaxially rotatable inside the humidification tank, is a hollow metal tube. A sealing disc is coaxially fixedly sleeved on one end of a horizontal shaft. It is used to seal the end groove. The sealing disc has two through holes.

An outer mist belt is provided on the inner wall of the humidification tank. A counterweight is fixedly provided at the bottom of the annular barrel. An outer pipe is connected between one end of the outer mist belt and the outside of the humidification tank. A drain hole is connected between the inside of the annular barrel and the inside of the horizontal shaft.
[0008] Preferably, both the inner and outer mist belts are located on the horizontal diameter of the humidification tank, and the inner and outer mist belts have the same structure.
[0009] Preferably, the spray surface of the inner mist belt is opposite to the spray surface of the outer mist belt, and the radial distances from the inner mist belt and the outer mist belt to the perforation are equal.
[0010] Preferably, one end of the horizontal shaft is a through-hole design, and the other end of the horizontal shaft is a sealed design.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a wool strip conveying and humidifying mechanism includes a humidifying tank 1 and an end groove 3 provided on one end of the humidifying tank 1.
[0020] The horizontal shaft 2 is coaxially rotatably installed inside the humidification tank 1. It is a hollow metal tube with one end being a through-hole design and the other end being a sealed design. The through-hole end of the horizontal shaft 2 is equipped with a rotary joint, which is used to connect to a multi-port pipe. The main end of the multi-port pipe is connected to a water supply pump, which is installed inside the water supply tank.
[0021] The sealing plate 4 is coaxially fixedly sleeved at one end of the horizontal shaft 2. It is used to seal the end groove 3 to prevent the leakage of humidifying water mist and thus affect the workshop environment. The sealing plate 4 is provided with two through holes 11, which correspond to the fixed pulley 10 in the axial direction. The inner wall of the through hole 11 and the outer surface of the sealing plate 4 are annular arc surfaces, that is, its radial cross-section shape is a quarter circle, so as to reduce the frictional resistance between the wool strip and the inner wall of the through hole 11 during wool strip conveying.
[0022] A humidifying section 5 is located inside the humidifying tank 1, used to evenly humidify the wool strips entering the humidifying tank 1. The humidifying section 5 includes an annular barrel 51 rotatably sleeved outside the horizontal shaft 2 and two inner mist belts 52 oppositely located outside the annular barrel 51. An outer mist belt 55 is provided on the inner wall of the humidifying tank 1. Both the inner mist belt 52 and the outer mist belt 55 are located on the horizontal diameter of the humidifying tank 1, and the inner mist belt 52 and the outer mist belt 55 have the same structure. The inner mist belt 52 includes a guide frame and several ultrasonic atomizers arranged side by side in the guide frame. The spray surface of the inner mist belt 52 is opposite to the spray surface of the outer mist belt 55, and the inner mist belt 52 and the outer mist belt 55 are respectively connected to the perforation 11. The radial distances are equal. A counterweight 53 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the annular barrel 51. One end of the outer mist belt 55 is connected to the outside of the humidifying tank 1 by an outer pipe 54. A drain hole is connected between the inside of the annular barrel 51 and the inside of the horizontal shaft 2. The outer pipe 54 is also connected to one end of the multi-port pipe. By simultaneously supplying sufficient water to the outer mist belt 55 and the inner mist belt 52, a water mist belt is continuously generated between the opposite surfaces of the outer mist belt 55 and the inner mist belt 52 when the wool strip is humidified, and the water mist in the water mist belt is evenly distributed, so as to improve the humidification uniformity of the wool strip and avoid the wool strip from being affected by uneven humidification.
[0023] Two mounting brackets 6 are fixed to the outside of the sealing plate 4.
[0024] Two rollers 7 are arranged side by side between two mounting brackets 6. A connector 12 is provided between the end face of the rollers 7 and the mounting bracket 6. The connector 12 includes two rotating shafts rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 6. A through insertion hole is provided on the rotating shaft. A limiting hole is provided on both end faces of the rollers 7. A compression spring is provided in the limiting hole. A limiting block is provided between the inside of the limiting hole and the outside of the rollers 7. The compression spring is located between the end faces of the limiting block and the limiting hole. The end face shape of the limiting block and the end face shape of the insertion hole are both regular polygons and they match each other. By pressing the limiting block and retracting it into the limiting hole until the end face of the limiting block is flush with the end face of the rollers 7, the installation difficulty of the rollers 7 is simplified and the replacement efficiency of the rollers 7 is improved. The connector 12 is used to achieve a detachable connection between the rollers 7 and the mounting bracket 6 while maintaining rotation.
[0025] A drive unit 8 is used to drive the horizontal shaft 2 to rotate and the two drums 7 to rotate at the same linear speed. The drive unit 8 includes a motor 82 fixedly mounted on the end face of the humidifying tank 1 away from the sealing plate 4. Bevel gears 81 are fixedly mounted on the end of the horizontal shaft 2 near the motor 82 and on the output end of the motor 82. An internal gear ring 83 is fixedly mounted on the end face of the humidifying tank 1 away from the motor 82. When the motor 82 starts, the power is transmitted through the two meshing bevel gears 81 to drive the horizontal shaft 2 to rotate. The horizontal shaft 2 drives the sealing plate 4 to rotate synchronously. A linkage 84 is provided between the internal tooth surface of the internal gear ring 83 and the two drums 7. The linkage 84 includes two gears that are coaxially and parallelly fixed on the mounting bracket 6. The driven wheel on the rotating shaft has a rack rotatably mounted on one of the mounting brackets 6. The free end of the rack has a helical gear, the tooth surface of which meshes with the tooth surface of the internal gear ring 83. The rotating shaft also has driving wheels arranged in parallel along its axial direction. A conveyor belt is fitted between one of the driving wheels and one of the driven wheels on the rotating shaft. A conveyor belt is also fitted between the remaining driving wheel and the driven wheel on the other rotating shaft. The sealing disc 4 drives the rack to rotate synchronously, so that the helical gear on the rack and the internal gear ring 83 form a relative displacement, thereby realizing the intermittent drive of the drum 7 to rotate. The two drums 7 maintain the same linear speed, so as to improve the stability of wool strip conveying.
[0026] Support rod 9 is radially fixed to the end of the horizontal axis 2 away from the sealing plate 4.
[0027] Two fixed pulleys 10 are rotatably mounted on the two end faces of the support rod 9. The wool strips between the two sets of perforations 11 and the fixed pulleys 10 form a C-shaped path, allowing the wool strips to pass through the gap between the outer mist belt 55 and the inner mist belt 52 during the conveying process, so that the material falls evenly on the wool strips, thereby achieving a uniform humidification effect on the wool strips.
