Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steaming machine technology, and in particular to an intelligent steaming machine translation chain tension control device. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent steaming machines are key equipment in the printing and dyeing industry, used for heat treatment such as color fixing and color development of dyed or printed fabrics. Internally, they typically use a ring chain system to transport the fabric, which is evenly suspended by hanging rollers and passes through a high-temperature steam environment at a constant speed. To ensure process stability and fabric quality, the conveyor chain must maintain a constant tension.

[0003] In existing technologies, the tensioning device for the translation chain of a steaming machine has the following problems, which affect the reliability, maintainability, and production efficiency of the equipment: Short lifespan of tensioning devices: The core components of the tensioning device (such as springs, bearings, and swing arm pins) are located directly inside the steamer housing and are exposed to harsh working conditions of high temperature, high humidity, and strong corrosive gases for a long time. This makes the metal parts extremely prone to corrosion and aging, the spring force weakens, the tensioning force is not stable enough, and the chain wear is accelerated, thus greatly shortening the lifespan of the entire tensioning device. The inability to adjust online disrupts production continuity: When the translation chain becomes loose due to wear or stretching during operation, operators cannot make real-time adjustments while the equipment is running. They must stop the machine and wait for it to cool down before entering the housing to make adjustments. This process causes production interruptions and severely reduces the equipment's production efficiency and capacity. Difficult to maintain and poor safety: Adjustment and maintenance work requires personnel to enter the high temperature, high humidity and potentially corrosive gas chamber after the machine has been shut down and cooled down. The working environment is harsh and poses health and safety risks. At the same time, maintenance is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide an intelligent steaming machine translation chain tension control device. The tension adjustment part is placed outside the box to avoid failure caused by corrosion and high temperature. The elastic element can maintain its elasticity, so that the tension force is stable and lasting, and the service life of the whole machine is extended. During operation, the chain tension can be intuitively judged by the angle of the external swing arm. There is no need to stop the machine or cool it down, ensuring continuous and stable production, simplifying maintenance, and improving safety and convenience.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a technical solution: a smart steaming machine translation chain tension control device, comprising: a housing, including a through-wall plate shaft passing through the housing wall; a tension force adjustment component, disposed outside the housing and drivenly connected to one end of the through-wall plate shaft located outside the housing, for providing and adjusting tension force; and a tension execution component, disposed inside the housing and drivenly connected to one end of the through-wall plate shaft located inside the housing, for applying tension force to the translation chain to achieve tension.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tension adjustment assembly includes an elastic element, an adjusting screw, a screw adjusting seat, and a swing arm. The first end of the swing arm is connected to the outer end of the through-wall plate shaft, the second end of the swing arm is connected to the elastic element, and the other end of the elastic element is connected to the adjusting screw. The screw adjusting seat is provided on the outer wall of the housing for installing the adjusting screw. The deformation of the elastic element can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw, and then the tension force is transmitted to the tensioning actuator by rotating the wall plate shaft through the swing arm.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the elastic element is a spring, a tension spring, or a compression spring.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the two ends of the elastic element are respectively hooked or hinged to the second end of the swing arm and the end of the adjusting screw.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tension adjustment assembly further includes a locking nut, which engages with the adjusting screw thread to lock the position of the adjusting screw.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tensioning actuator includes a second swing arm and a passive sprocket. The first end of the second swing arm is connected to the inner end of the through-wall plate shaft, and the passive sprocket is rotatably mounted on the second end of the second swing arm via a pin. The passive sprocket is configured to mesh with the translation chain. When the through-wall plate shaft rotates, the second swing arm drives the passive sprocket to rotate in order to adjust the meshing tension with the translation chain.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the through-wall plate shaft is mounted on the wall plate of the housing via a bearing seat. The wall plate of the housing is provided with a through hole for accommodating the through-wall plate shaft, and a sealing element is provided between the through hole and the bearing seat.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the swing angle of the first swing arm is in the range of 0-30°, and the swing angle of the first swing arm corresponds to the tension of the translation chain inside the box.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: Extended lifespan: By placing the springs, lead screws, and other adjusting components externally, they are removed from the harsh environment of high temperature and humidity inside the chamber, fundamentally avoiding corrosion and aging, ensuring long-term stable tension, and extending the overall lifespan of the device. Real-time online maintenance is possible: the chain condition can be intuitively diagnosed by the angle of the external swing arm, ensuring that adjustments can be made immediately without stopping the machine during production, completely avoiding the downtime required by traditional methods, and greatly improving equipment utilization and production continuity; Safe to operate and easy to maintain: Adjustment operations can be performed at room temperature outside the enclosure, without the need to come into contact with harsh working conditions, which significantly reduces the risk, difficulty and labor intensity of maintenance work, making daily maintenance simple, safe and quick.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0016] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] This utility model is used for tension control of the translation chain of an intelligent steaming machine. The core of it is to achieve the adjustability and precise transmission of the tension force of the translation chain through the linkage between the inside and outside of the housing. At the same time, it solves the problems of fragility and inconvenience of adjustment of traditional tensioning devices in high temperature and high humidity environments.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The intelligent steaming machine translation chain tension control device includes a housing, with a tension adjustment component on the outside of the housing and a tension execution component inside the housing.

[0019] The housing serves as the installation base and includes a through-wall plate shaft 1 that passes through the housing wall panel. The housing wall panel has a through hole for the through-wall plate shaft 1 to pass through and be installed. The through-wall plate shaft 1 is rotatably mounted at the through hole via a bearing seat 2. A seal is provided between the through hole and the bearing seat 2 to prevent steam leakage inside the housing and to adapt to the high temperature and high humidity working environment of the steam generator.

[0020] First is the tension adjustment component, which is connected to one end of the through-wall plate shaft 1 located outside the housing, and is used to provide and adjust the tension.

[0021] In detail, the tension adjustment assembly includes an elastic element 3, a rocker arm 4, an adjusting screw 5, a screw adjusting seat 6, and a locking nut 7. The first end of the rocker arm 4 is connected to the outer end of the through-wall plate shaft, and the second end of the rocker arm 4 is used to connect the elastic element.

[0022] The elastic element 3 is preferably a spring, tension spring or compression spring. The two ends of the elastic element 3 are connected to the second end of the swing arm 4 and the end of the adjusting screw 5 by hooking or hinge, respectively, and transmit tension force through its own deformation.

[0023] The lead screw adjusting seat 6 is located on the outer wall of the housing and is used to install the adjusting lead screw 5. The locking nut 7 is threadedly engaged with the adjusting lead screw 5: when the position of the adjusting lead screw 5 is determined, tightening the locking nut 7 locks the position of the adjusting lead screw 5, preventing changes in tension force due to vibration during operation.

[0024] Furthermore, the swing angle of the swing arm 4 is within the range of 0-30°. The swing angle of the swing arm 4 can be used to directly reflect the tension of the translation chain inside the housing. When the swing arm 4 swings towards the lead screw adjusting seat 6, the tension of the translation chain increases; when the swing arm 4 swings away from the lead screw adjusting seat 6, the tension of the translation chain decreases.

[0025] Based on the above structure, the deformation of the elastic element 3 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 5, and then the wall plate shaft 1 can be driven to rotate by the swing arm 4 to transmit the tensioning force to the tensioning actuator.

[0026] Secondly, there is the tensioning actuator, which is connected to one end of the through-wall plate shaft 1 located inside the housing, and is used to apply tensioning force to the translation chain to achieve tensioning.

[0027] In detail, the tensioning actuator includes a second swing arm 8 and a passive sprocket 9. The first end of the second swing arm 8 is connected to the inner end of the through-wall plate shaft 1, and the passive sprocket 9 is rotatably mounted on the second end of the second swing arm 8 via a pin 10.

[0028] The passive sprocket 9 is configured to mesh with the translation chain. When the through-wall plate shaft 1 rotates, the passive sprocket 9 is driven to rotate through the swing arm 8 to adjust the meshing tension with the translation chain.

[0029] The working principle of the intelligent steaming machine translation chain tension control device of this utility model is as follows: Loosen the locking nut 7 to move the adjusting screw 5 axially. The movement of the adjusting screw 5 adjusts the deformation of the elastic element 3: if the adjusting screw 5 moves away from the rocker arm 4, the elastic element 3 is stretched and the deformation increases, thus increasing the tension on the rocker arm 4; conversely, the deformation of the elastic element 3 decreases and the tension on the rocker arm 4 decreases. The tension of the elastic element 3 is transmitted to the through-wall plate shaft 1 through the swing arm 4 outside the housing, driving the through-wall plate shaft 1 to rotate. The rotation of the through-wall plate shaft 1 causes the swing arm 8 inside the housing to swing synchronously, causing the driven sprocket 9 to move towards or away from the translation chain. When the second swing arm 8 drives the driven sprocket 9 to swing in the direction of tensioning the translation chain, the meshing tension between the driven sprocket 9 and the translation chain increases, thus tightening the chain; conversely, the tension decreases and the translation chain relaxes. Once the tension is adjusted to the appropriate level, tighten the locking nut 7 to lock the position of the adjusting screw 5, thus completing the tension adjustment.

[0030] This invention places the adjustment part outside the housing, which significantly improves its service life and reliability. The internal chain status can be intuitively judged by the angle of the external swing arm, and adjustments can be made directly during equipment operation, realizing non-stop maintenance and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this intelligent steaming machine translation chain tension control device are: By placing the easily damaged tension adjustment parts outside the housing, it can operate in a normal temperature and dry environment, fundamentally avoiding failure caused by corrosion and high temperature. In particular, the core elastic components, such as springs, can maintain their elastic performance for a long time, ensuring that the tension force applied to the chain is more stable and durable, thus extending the service life of the tensioning device. During equipment operation, the tension of the internal chain can be directly judged by the angle of the external swing arm. The tension can be adjusted by the external adjusting screw without stopping the machine or cooling it, ensuring continuous and stable production, simplifying maintenance operations, and improving safety and convenience.

[0032] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model.
