Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fabric drying technology, specifically relating to a knitted fabric dryer. Background Technology

[0002] When using knitted fabrics, regular washing and drying are necessary to ensure cleanliness and hygiene. During the drying process, a hot air blower delivers hot air to the drying chamber, causing the moisture in the fabric to evaporate and be carried away, thus accelerating the drying process. Most knitted fabric dryers on the market currently use a drum design. However, during the drying process, knitted fabrics often fold into clumps, preventing the hot air from being evenly distributed across the fabric surface, significantly reducing drying efficiency. Furthermore, dried knitted fabrics often appear wrinkled and uneven.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent application CN222123772U discloses a circulating dryer for knitted fabrics, relating to the field of knitted fabric drying technology. This utility model includes a dryer body, a rotating ring, a fixed box, a limiting component, and a cleaning scraper. The dryer body contains a drum and a front sealing ring, with the rotating ring located between the drum and the front sealing ring. The limiting component drives the moving end of the rotating ring to move back and forth, allowing it to insert into a retainer at the top of the front sealing ring of the drum as needed, thus connecting and fixing the rotating ring to the front sealing ring. During the drying process of the knitted fabric, the rotating ring is connected and fixed to the drum, and the cleaning scraper, adhering to the inner wall of the drum, rotates stably, promoting the drying process of the knitted fabric. Connecting and fixing the rotating ring to the front sealing ring drives the drum to rotate idling, allowing the cleaning scraper to adhere to the inner wall surface of the drum and scrape away residual fibers, threads, and debris. However, when drying, the knitted fabric is folded into a ball, which prevents the hot air from blowing evenly onto the fabric, greatly affecting the drying efficiency, and the dried knitted fabric is wrinkled and uneven.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] This invention utilizes a winding mechanism to wind knitted fabric, creating gaps between each layer to facilitate even distribution of hot air onto the fabric surface. During the drying process, the sealed door is first opened, and the fabric head to be dried is removed from the feeder and secured to the traction rod using a clamp. The motor is then started, driving the first rotating component.

The second connecting assembly at the other end, within the second groove, cooperates with the movement of the traction rod, ensuring smoother movement. At this point, the knitted fabric is rotated by the traction rod and enters the spiral frame, where it is spirally wound under the guidance of the spiral frame. After winding is complete, the sealed door is closed, and the hot air blower is started. Hot air enters the air guide box through a duct and then blows onto the knitted fabric in the winding mechanism through the first spiral groove on the base plate. The hot air passes through the gaps between each layer of knitted fabric, evenly distributing to the fabric surface, thereby improving drying efficiency and effectively preventing wrinkles and unevenness in the dried knitted fabric.

[0018] Example 1:

[0019] This utility model provides a knitted fabric dryer, including a dryer 1 and a feeding machine 2. The dryer 1 includes a frame 3, a drying chamber 4, and a hot air blower 5. The drying chamber 4 is fixedly equipped with a sealing door 6 and two winding mechanisms 7. A motor 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drying chamber 4. The winding mechanism 7 includes an air guide box 9, a bottom plate 10, and a top plate 11. The hot air blower 5 is connected to the air guide box 9 through a duct 13. The air guide box 9 is sealed to the bottom plate 10. The bottom plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top plate 11 through a support rod 14. The bottom plate 10 is provided with a first spiral groove 15, and the top plate 11 is provided with a second spiral groove 16. A first rotating component 17 is movably mounted, and the drive end of a motor 8 is fixedly connected to the first rotating component 17. The first rotating component 17 has a first sliding groove 18, and a first connecting assembly 19 is movably mounted on the first sliding groove 18. A second rotating component 20 is movably mounted on the top plate 11, and the second rotating component 20 has a second sliding groove 21. A second connecting assembly 22 is movably mounted on the second sliding groove 21. The first connecting assembly 19 is fixedly connected to the second connecting assembly 22 via a traction rod 23. A fixing clamp 24 is fixedly mounted on the traction rod 23. A central rod 25 is fixedly mounted between the bottom plate 10 and the top plate 11, and a spiral frame 26 is fixedly mounted on the central rod 25. The feeding machine 2 includes a fixed frame 27, on which a first support plate 28, a second support plate 29, and a third support plate 30 are fixedly mounted. A counterweight block 31 is fixedly mounted on the first support plate 28, and a roller shaft 32 is movably mounted between the second support plate 29 and the third support plate 30. Both the first connecting assembly 19 and the second connecting assembly 22 include a connecting rod 33 and a bearing 34. The bearing 34 is movably mounted on one end of the connecting rod 33, and the other end of the connecting rod 33 is fixedly connected to the traction rod 23. A dust cover 35 is fixedly installed on the top of the drying chamber 4, and an exhaust port 36 is provided on the side of the dust cover 35.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, this utility model uses a winding mechanism 7 to wind the knitted fabric, creating gaps between each layer of knitted fabric to facilitate the even blowing of hot air onto the fabric surface. During the drying operation, firstly, the sealing door 6 is opened, the fabric head to be dried is removed from the feeder 2, and fixed to the traction rod 23 using a fixing clip 24. Then, the motor 8 is started, and the drive end of the motor 8 drives the first rotating component 17 to rotate. Under the action of the first spiral groove 15, the first connecting component 19 slides within the first slide groove 18 and rotates towards the center, simultaneously driving the traction rod 23 to rotate towards the center. The second connecting component 22 at the other end cooperates with the movement of the traction rod 23 within the second slide groove 21, making its movement smoother. At this time, the knitted fabric is driven to rotate by the traction rod 23 and enters the spiral frame 26, where it is spirally wound under the guidance of the spiral frame 26. After winding is completed, the sealing door 6 is closed and the hot air blower 5 is started. Hot air enters the air guide box 9 through the duct 13, and then blows onto the knitted fabric in the winding mechanism 7 through the first spiral groove 15 of the base plate 10. The hot air passes through the gaps between each layer of knitted fabric and blows evenly onto the fabric surface, thereby improving drying efficiency and effectively preventing wrinkles and unevenness in the dried knitted fabric.

[0021] Example 2:

[0022] The dryer 1 in this embodiment consists of a frame 3, a drying chamber 4, and a hot air blower 5. A sealed door 6 is fixedly installed on the drying chamber 4 for easy access by operators and loading / unloading of fabric. Inside the drying chamber 4, two winding mechanisms 7 are fixedly installed for winding the knitted fabric. A motor 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drying chamber 4 to provide power to the winding mechanisms 7. The winding mechanism 7 includes an air guide box 9, a bottom plate 10, and a top plate 11. The hot air blower 5 is connected to the air guide box 9 via a duct 13 to ensure that hot air can be smoothly delivered to the winding area. The air guide box 9 is sealed to the bottom plate 10 to prevent hot air leakage and improve energy efficiency. The bottom plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top plate 11 via a support rod 14 to form a stable support structure. The bottom plate 10 has a first spiral groove 15, and the top plate 11 has a second spiral groove 16; these spiral grooves guide the winding path of the fabric. A first rotating component 17 is movably mounted on the base plate 10. The drive end of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to the first rotating component 17. When the motor 8 starts, the first rotating component 17 rotates accordingly. The first rotating component 17 has a first sliding groove 18, and a first connecting component 19 is movably mounted in the first sliding groove 18. The first connecting component 19 can slide and rotate under the action of the first spiral groove 15. A second rotating component 20 is movably mounted on the top plate 11. The second rotating component 20 has a second sliding groove 21, and a second connecting component 22 is movably mounted in the second sliding groove 21. The second connecting component 22 and the first connecting component 19 are fixedly connected by a traction rod 23 to ensure that their movements are synchronized. A fixing clamp 24 is fixedly mounted on the traction rod 23 for clamping the starting end of the knitted fabric. A central rod 25 is fixedly mounted between the base plate 10 and the top plate 11. A spiral frame 26 is fixedly mounted on the central rod 25. The spiral frame 26 is used to guide the fabric to form a spiral structure during the winding process to ensure that there are gaps between the fabric layers.

[0023] In actual operation, firstly, the sealed door 6 of the drying chamber 4 is opened, and the starting end of the knitted fabric to be dried is taken out from the feeder 2. The fixing clip 24 is used to firmly fix it to the traction rod 23. Then, the motor 8 is started, and the drive end of the motor 8 drives the first rotating component 17 to rotate. Guided by the first spiral groove 15, the first connecting assembly 19 slides within the first slide groove 18 and rotates towards the center, simultaneously driving the traction rod 23 to move towards the center. The second connecting assembly 22 cooperates with the movement of the traction rod 23 within the second slide groove 21, ensuring a smooth and stable winding process. The knitted fabric is rotated by the traction rod 23 and enters the spiral frame 26, where it is spirally wound under the guidance of the spiral frame 26. This winding method creates a uniform gap between each layer of fabric, facilitating the penetration of hot air. After winding is completed, the sealed door 6 is closed, and the hot air blower 5 is started. Hot air enters the air guide box 9 through the duct 13 and then blows onto the knitted fabric in the winding mechanism 7 through the first spiral groove 15 of the base plate 10. Hot air passes through the gaps between the fabric layers, blowing evenly onto the fabric surface to accelerate moisture evaporation and thus improve drying efficiency. At the same time, because the fabric remains stretched out during the winding process, it avoids the problem of folding into clumps, effectively preventing wrinkles and unevenness in the fabric after drying.

[0024] In this embodiment, the winding mechanism 7, through the cooperation of spiral grooves and sliding grooves, achieves automatic winding and unwinding of the fabric, ensuring that the fabric remains evenly distributed throughout the drying process. Hot air is blown out from the air guide box 9 through the spiral grooves of the base plate 10, covering the entire winding area and avoiding localized overheating or under-drying. The spiral frame 26 further optimizes the winding path of the fabric, making the gaps between fabric layers more stable and the hot air flow smoother. This design not only improves drying efficiency but also ensures the quality of the fabric, avoiding wrinkles caused by folding. The entire system has a compact structure, is easy to operate, and is suitable for the drying needs of various knitted fabrics, exhibiting high practicality and reliability.

[0025] Example 3:

[0026] The feeding machine 2 in this embodiment includes a fixed frame 27, on which a first support plate 28, a second support plate 29, and a third support plate 30 are fixedly mounted. A counterweight 31 is fixedly mounted on the first support plate 28, and a roller 32 is movably mounted between the second support plate 29 and the third support plate 30. The first support plate 28 is installed at the bottom of the fixed frame 27, and the counterweight 31 is used to lower the center of gravity of the fixed frame 27, improving the stability of the entire feeding machine 2. The knitted fabric to be dried is pre-wound onto the roller 32, facilitating the winding mechanism 7 of the dryer 1 to perform the winding operation. In practical applications, the fixed frame 27 is made of robust metal material to ensure it can withstand the weight of the fabric and vibrations caused by mechanical movement during the drying process. The first support plate 28, the second support plate 29, and the third support plate 30 are all fixed to the fixed frame 27 by welding or bolting, forming a stable support structure. The counterweight 31, typically made of high-density material, is installed below the first support plate 28 to optimize overall balance by increasing the weight at the bottom, preventing the feeder 2 from tilting or wobbling during fabric winding or movement. The roller 32 is movably mounted between the second support plate 29 and the third support plate 30 via bearings 34 or sliding components, allowing it to rotate freely and thus smoothly release the fabric during the drying process, avoiding unnecessary tension or twisting of the fabric during winding.

[0027] During the operation of dryer 1, the feeder 2 works in conjunction with the winding mechanism 7 of dryer 1. First, the operator removes the starting end of the knitted fabric to be dried from the roller 32 and guides it into the drying chamber 4. The fabric is fixed to the traction rod 23 by the fixing clamp 24 of the winding mechanism 7, and then the motor 8 is started to drive the winding process. The roller 32 rotates under the pull of the fabric, ensuring that the fabric is smoothly transported from the feeder 2 into the drying chamber 4 without jamming or accumulation. The counterweight 31 plays a particularly important role in this stage. By lowering the center of gravity of the fixing frame 27, it enhances the anti-interference ability of the feeder 2, and can maintain stable operation even in high-speed winding or external vibration environments, avoiding equipment deviation or fabric entanglement problems caused by unstable center of gravity. The design of the second support plate 29 and the third support plate 30 ensures the precise installation position of the roller 32, so that the fabric can be evenly unfolded during the winding process, reducing the risk of wrinkles and deformation.

[0028] Furthermore, the structural design of the feeder 2 takes into account convenience and safety in actual production. The size and shape of the mounting bracket 27 can be adjusted according to the specifications of the dryer 1. For example, in large industrial applications, the mounting bracket 27 may use a wider base to enhance support. The layout of the first support plate 28, the second support plate 29, and the third support plate 30 is optimized to ensure that the roller 32 is at a suitable height and angle, facilitating quick loading and unloading of fabric by operators. The installation position of the counterweight 31 is calculated to maximize the center of gravity reduction effect without affecting the movement or maintenance of the feeder 2. The surface of the roller 32 is typically smoothed to reduce friction with the fabric and prevent damage or static electricity generation in the knitted fabric during winding. Overall, the feeder 2 not only improves drying efficiency but also ensures the integrity of the fabric and the drying quality through a stable mechanical structure, making it suitable for the drying needs of various knitted fabrics.

[0029] During the drying process, the cooperation between the feeder 2 and the winding mechanism 7 ensures a continuous supply of fabric. As the winding mechanism 7 begins to rotate, the fabric gradually unfolds from the roller 32 and enters the spiral frame 26 for spiral winding. The stable operation of the feeder 2 ensures that the fabric does not loosen or overstretch during winding, thus forming a uniform interlayer gap within the drying chamber 4. Hot air is blown onto the wound fabric through the air guide box 9 and the first spiral groove 15 of the bottom plate 10. Due to the gaps, the hot air can fully penetrate the surface of each layer of fabric, accelerating moisture evaporation. The counterweight 31 and the fixing frame 27 of the feeder 2 play a crucial role in this process; they suppress vibration and offset, ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the fabric winding, ultimately achieving efficient drying and preventing wrinkles. This embodiment demonstrates the practicality and reliability of the feeder 2 in a knitted fabric drying system, solving the problems of fabric folding and uneven hot air in traditional dryers 1 through a simple mechanical structure.

[0030] Example 4:

[0031] The dryer 1 in this embodiment consists of a frame 3, a drying chamber 4, and a hot air blower 5. A sealed door 6 is fixedly installed on the drying chamber 4 for easy access by operators and for loading and unloading fabric. Two winding mechanisms 7 are fixedly installed inside the drying chamber 4 to achieve spiral winding and uniform drying of the fabric. A motor 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drying chamber 4 to provide power to the winding mechanisms 7. The winding mechanism 7 includes an air guide box 9, a bottom plate 10, and a top plate 11. The hot air blower 5 is connected to the air guide box 9 via a duct 13. The air guide box 9 is sealed to the bottom plate 10 to ensure efficient hot air delivery to the winding area. The bottom plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top plate 11 via a support rod 14, forming a stable support structure. The bottom plate 10 has a first spiral groove 15, and the top plate 11 has a second spiral groove 16. These spiral grooves not only guide the flow of hot air but also participate in guiding the winding motion. A first rotating component 17 is movably mounted on the base plate 10. The drive end of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to the first rotating component 17. The first rotating component 17 has a first sliding groove 18, and a first connecting assembly 19 is movably mounted on the first sliding groove 18. A second rotating component 20 is movably mounted on the top plate 11. The second rotating component 20 has a second sliding groove 21, and a second connecting assembly 22 is movably mounted on the second sliding groove 21. The first connecting assembly 19 is fixedly connected to the second connecting assembly 22 via a traction rod 23. A fixing clamp 24 is fixedly mounted on the traction rod 23 for clamping the fabric. A central rod 25 is fixedly mounted between the base plate 10 and the top plate 11. A spiral frame 26 is fixedly mounted on the central rod 25. The spiral frame 26 guides and supports the fabric during winding, ensuring that the fabric is wound evenly.

[0032] In this embodiment, both the first connecting assembly 19 and the second connecting assembly 22 include a connecting rod 33 and a bearing 34. The bearing 34 is movably mounted on one end of the connecting rod 33, and the other end is fixedly connected to the traction rod 23. The bearing 34 is movably connected to the sliding groove of the rotating component. This design significantly improves the smoothness of the connecting assembly's movement. Specifically, the bearing 34 of the first connecting assembly 19 engages with the first sliding groove 18 of the first rotating component 17, and the bearing 34 of the second connecting assembly 22 engages with the second sliding groove 21 of the second rotating component 20. This allows the first connecting assembly 19 to slide smoothly within the first sliding groove 18 when the first rotating component 17 rotates under the drive of the motor 8, while simultaneously driving the second connecting assembly 22 to move in coordination within the second sliding groove 21 via the traction rod 23.

[0033] In actual operation, when the knitted fabric needs to be dried, the operator first opens the sealed door 6 of the drying chamber 4, takes out the fabric head to be dried from the feeder 2, and uses the fixing clip 24 to firmly fix it to the traction rod 23. Then, the motor 8 is started, and the drive end of the motor 8 drives the first rotating component 17 to rotate. Under the guidance of the first spiral groove 15, the first connecting component 19 slides in the first slide groove 18 and rotates towards the center, while the second connecting component 22 moves in the second slide groove 21 through the traction rod 23. Due to the movable connection between the bearing 34 and the slide groove, the entire movement process is very smooth, reducing friction and resistance. During the movement, the traction rod 23 drives the knitted fabric to rotate and enter the spiral frame 26. Under the guidance of the spiral frame 26, the fabric is spirally wound to form a multi-layer structure with gaps between each layer. After the winding is completed, the sealed door 6 is closed and the hot air fan 5 is started. The hot air enters the air guide box 9 through the duct 13, and then blows onto the knitted fabric in the winding mechanism 7 through the first spiral groove 15 of the base plate 10. Hot air passes evenly through the gaps between the fabric layers, effectively blowing on the fabric surface, accelerating moisture evaporation, thereby improving drying efficiency and preventing wrinkles and unevenness after the fabric is dried.

[0034] The connecting component design in this embodiment achieves efficient and flexible connection with the rotating component's slide groove through the cooperation of connecting rod 33 and bearing 34. This not only enhances the flexibility and reliability of movement but also reduces energy consumption and wear during equipment operation. This structure ensures that the fabric maintains uniform tension and a flat state throughout the winding and drying process, avoiding the uneven drying and wrinkling problems caused by fabric folding and clumping in traditional dryers 1. Furthermore, the application of bearing 34 further optimizes the durability and maintainability of the connecting component, enabling the equipment to maintain high performance even during long-term use, making it suitable for large-scale drying needs of knitted fabrics.

[0035] Example 5:

[0036] In this embodiment, a dust cover 35 is fixedly installed on the top of the drying chamber 4, and an exhaust vent 36 is provided on the side of the dust cover 35. The dust cover 35 covers the top of the drying chamber 4, forming a protective structure that can effectively prevent dust and impurities from the external environment from falling directly into the drying chamber 4, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene during the drying process. The exhaust vent 36 on the side of the dust cover 35 is used to smoothly discharge the hot air containing water vapor generated during the drying process, preventing water vapor from accumulating inside the drying chamber 4 and affecting the drying effect and fabric quality.

[0037] During the drying process, firstly, the sealed door 6 of the drying chamber 4 is opened, and the end of the knitted fabric to be dried is taken out from the feeder 2. It is then securely fixed to the traction rod 23 using the fixing clamp 24. Next, the motor 8 is started, and the drive end of the motor 8 drives the first rotating component 17 to rotate. Guided by the first spiral groove 15, the first connecting assembly 19 slides within the first slide groove 18 and rotates towards the center, simultaneously driving the traction rod 23 to rotate towards the center. The second connecting assembly 22 at the other end cooperates with the movement of the traction rod 23 within the second slide groove 21, ensuring the entire winding process proceeds smoothly. At this time, the knitted fabric is rotated by the traction rod 23 and enters the spiral frame 26. Guided by the spiral frame 26, it achieves spiral winding, creating a uniform gap between each layer of knitted fabric.

[0038] After winding is complete, the sealing door 6 is closed and the hot air blower 5 is started. The hot air blower 5 delivers hot air to the air guide box 9 through the duct 13, and then blows the hot air through the first spiral groove 15 of the base plate 10 onto the knitted fabric in the winding mechanism 7. Because the knitted fabric forms multiple gaps during the spiral winding process, the hot air can pass through these gaps evenly and blow onto each layer of the fabric surface, thereby efficiently evaporating moisture and improving drying efficiency. At the same time, the uniform distribution of hot air helps prevent wrinkles from forming on the fabric during the drying process, ensuring that the dried knitted fabric is flat and smooth.

[0039] The exhaust vent 36 of the dust cover 35 operates continuously during the drying process, promptly expelling hot air containing water vapor from the drying chamber 4 to prevent moisture from lingering inside and affecting the drying speed and final quality of the fabric. This design not only improves drying efficiency but also ensures the hygiene and appearance of the fabric, making it suitable for large-scale drying of knitted fabrics. This embodiment demonstrates how the synergistic effect of the winding mechanism 7 and the dust cover 35 solves the problems of fabric folding, uneven hot air distribution, and wrinkles in traditional dryers 1, achieving efficient and uniform drying results.
