Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to, and more specifically to, an anti-tangling stirring mechanism for washing knitted fabrics. Background Technology

[0002] Knitwear, with its softness, breathability, and elasticity, is widely used in clothing, home textiles, and other fields. During the knitting process, impurities such as wax, grease, sizing agents, and dust from the environment adhere to the fabric. At the same time, the weaving tension can cause stress imbalances in the internal fibers of the fabric. If not washed, these impurities will affect the uniformity of dye and sizing agent adsorption in subsequent dyeing and printing processes, leading to quality problems such as color streaks, color differences, and ink buildup. Moreover, knitwear that has not been washed and set is prone to significant shrinkage and deformation due to the release of fiber stress during subsequent wear or use, seriously affecting the appearance and performance of the product.

[0003] Currently, industrial washing machines are the primary means of washing knitwear in the industrial sector. When a washing machine is in operation, the knitwear to be washed is first placed into the inner drum, and appropriate amounts of detergent and water are added according to the fabric type. After the equipment is started, the drive system activates the internal agitation structure, and the rotating agitator shaft propels the washing liquid and knitwear together. Cleaning is achieved through friction between the fabric and the liquid. After cleaning, the equipment discharges wastewater, then rinses with water, repeating the agitation process to remove residual detergent. Finally, high-speed rotation dewaters the knitwear, completing the entire washing process.

[0004] There are certain problems in the process of washing knitwear in a horizontal washing machine. On the one hand, there are no reasonable flow guiding components inside the drum, and the water flow direction is unidirectional and turbulent during washing, which cannot drive the knitwear to move evenly and disperse within the drum, making it easy for the knitwear to clump together. On the other hand, there is a lack of components inside the drum that can effectively break up the knitwear. As the drum rotates, the clump of knitwear is easy to tangle and knot together. Moreover, existing agitation mechanisms are mostly adapted to ordinary clothes and do not take into account the soft and easily tangled characteristics of knitwear. Therefore, we urgently need an anti-tangling agitation mechanism for washing knitwear to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a new technology solution for an anti-tangling stirring mechanism for washing knitwear. By using a spiral counterclockwise guide plate to guide orderly water flow to prevent knitwear from accumulating, and in conjunction with a clockwise diamond-shaped paddle and an L-shaped elastic rod, the knitwear is efficiently dispersed, maintenance costs are reduced, and the problems of tangling and damage in existing technologies are solved.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, an anti-tangling stirring mechanism for washing knitted fabrics is provided, comprising a horizontal washing machine body and a water supply device connected to the horizontal washing machine body, and further comprising: a drum for placing knitted fabrics connected to the horizontal washing machine body by a drive motor, wherein a shaft for support is provided at the inner axis of the drum, and the two ends of the shaft are respectively connected to the corresponding inner wall of the drum, and a guide plate is welded to the inner wall of the drum; a paddle for dispersing knitted fabrics provided on the shaft, and a paddle for agitating the knitted fabrics provided on the shaft.

[0007] Optionally, the guide plate is spirally arranged on the inner wall of the drum, and the spiral direction of the guide plate is counterclockwise.

[0008] Optionally, the number of the paddles is multiple sets, and the multiple sets of paddles are arranged in a clockwise spiral direction on the surface of the shaft.

[0009] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the paddle is rhomboid.

[0010] Optionally, the actuating element includes multiple sets of insertion holes formed on the shaft, the multiple sets of insertion holes being spirally formed clockwise along the surface of the shaft, and the insertion holes being located between two sets of levers.

[0011] Optionally, the shaft is provided with a plug-in plate corresponding to the plug-in hole position. The connection of the plug-in plate is inserted into the plug-in hole to form an installation area. The plug-in plate has elastic rods arranged in a circular array. When the horizontal washing machine body is working, the elastic rods contact the knitted fabric in the drum to form a turning area.

[0012] Optionally, the cross-section of the elastic rod is L-shaped.

[0013] 1. According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the anti-tangling stirring mechanism for washing knitted fabrics guides the washing water to form a stable counterclockwise spiral water flow through a spiral counterclockwise guide plate and a clockwise spiral diamond-shaped paddle, which drives the knitted fabric to flow in all directions along the inner wall of the drum, avoiding local accumulation; the paddle stirs in a clockwise spiral direction, forming a reverse force with the water flow, quickly breaking up the initially gathered knitted fabric. At the same time, the diamond-shaped cross-section design is adapted to the soft characteristics of the knitted fabric, avoiding snagging damage, improving the anti-tangling effect, and protecting the integrity of the knitted fabric's shape.

[0014] 2. According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the anti-tangling stirring mechanism for washing knitted fabrics solves the problems of fixed, disassembled parts, high maintenance costs, and poor adaptability in the prior art through the detachable and adaptable structure of the plug-in hole, plug-in plate, and L-shaped elastic rod. The plug-in plate enables quick disassembly and assembly of the elastic rod, and the entire shaft does not need to be replaced if a single part is damaged, thus reducing maintenance costs. The elastic material and circular array arrangement of the L-shaped elastic rod ensure 360° no dead angle agitation and can reduce the stretching deformation of knitted fabrics through deformation buffering, further improving the protection of knitted fabrics and the anti-tangling effect.

[0015] Other features and advantages of the present invention will become clear from the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0024] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0025] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0026] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an anti-tangling stirring mechanism for washing knitted fabrics includes a horizontal washing machine body 1 and a water supply device 2 connected to the horizontal washing machine body 1.

[0028] Here, the horizontal washing machine body 1 and the water supply device 2 are direct references to existing structures, and will not be described in detail here. However, it should be noted that the water supply device 2 includes a water storage tank and a pump body. The output end of the pump body needs to be connected to the water inlet of the horizontal washing machine body 1, and its input end is connected to the water storage tank. The horizontal washing machine body 1 is also equipped with a drain valve for draining water.

[0029] It also includes a drum 3 connected to the body 1 of the horizontal washing machine via a drive motor for placing knitted items. A shaft 4 for support is provided at the inner axis of the drum 3, and the two ends of the shaft 4 are respectively connected to the corresponding inner wall of the drum 3.

[0030] Here, drum 3 provides an independent and enclosed washing space for knitwear, which can prevent knitwear from getting tangled due to interference from other parts inside the washing machine during the washing process, while reducing water splashing and improving water resource utilization.

[0031] Furthermore, the shaft 4 is set along the axis of the roller 3, and both ends are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the roller 3. This symmetrical installation structure can ensure that the shaft 4 is subjected to uniform force when the roller 3 rotates, avoiding bending or breakage of the shaft 4 due to excessive force on one side, and extending the service life of the component. As a core support component, the shaft 4 can integrate the disassembled structures such as the paddle 6 and the actuating component onto the same axis, ensuring that each structure rotates synchronously during operation, avoiding washing water disorder caused by asynchronous movement of components, and providing a stable structural foundation for the anti-tangling effect.

[0032] Furthermore, the presence of shaft 4 can form a central support point inside the roller 3. When the knitted fabric moves with the water flow, it can reduce the accumulation of the knitted fabric in the central area of ​​the roller 3, further reducing the probability of entanglement.

[0033] A guide plate 5 is welded to the inner wall of the drum 3. The guide plate 5 is spirally arranged on the inner wall of the drum 3, and the spiral direction of the guide plate 5 is counterclockwise.

[0034] Here, the guide plate 5 is spirally welded to the inner wall of the drum 3 and is designed in a counterclockwise direction. When the drum 3 rotates, it can guide the washing water to form a stable counterclockwise spiral water flow, completely breaking the problem of the single and chaotic water flow direction of traditional washing machines. This allows the water flow to drive the knitted fabric to move in an orderly manner. The spiral water flow has a continuous driving force, which can drive the knitted fabric to make a circular motion along the inner wall of the drum 3 while slowly moving towards both ends of the drum 3. This achieves all-round circulation of the knitted fabric in the drum 3, avoiding the knitted fabric from accumulating at the bottom of the drum 3 or in a certain local area for a long time, and effectively reducing the risk of tangling.

[0035] Furthermore, the guide plate 5 adopts a welded connection method, which is firmly attached to the inner wall of the drum 3. It is not easy to fall off under long-term water flow impact and knitted friction. Compared with bolt connection and other methods, it reduces the risk of failure caused by loose parts and improves the overall stability of the mechanism. The spiral structure of the guide plate 5 can also increase the contact area with the water flow, improve the water flow stirring intensity, allow the detergent to dissolve more fully in the water, and enhance the water flow's scouring force on the surface of the knitted fabric, improving the washing cleanliness and taking into account both anti-tangling and washing effect.

[0036] A set of paddles 6 for unraveling knitted fabric is provided on the shaft 4. There are multiple sets of paddles 6, which are arranged in a clockwise spiral direction on the surface of the shaft 4. The cross-sectional shape of the paddles 6 is diamond-shaped.

[0037] Here, multiple sets of paddles 6 are arranged in a clockwise spiral direction on the surface of the shaft 4, forming a counter-current agitation with the counter-clockwise water flow guided by the guide plate 5. The two opposing forces can significantly enhance the turbulence and impact of the water flow, quickly breaking up the initially gathered knitwear and preventing the gathered area from expanding and forming tangles. The diamond-shaped paddles 6, compared with the traditional rectangular paddles 6, have smoother edges and no sharp corners, which can not only ensure the breaking up effect of knitwear, but also avoid snagging or scratching the surface fibers of knitwear. It perfectly matches the soft and easy-to-snag characteristics of knitwear and reduces washing damage.

[0038] Furthermore, the clockwise spiral arrangement allows the paddles 6 to gradually agitate the water flow and knitwear as the shaft 4 rotates. That is, adjacent paddles 6 act on the water flow in sequence, avoiding excessive stretching of the knitwear due to excessive agitation force in a single operation, thus further protecting the shape of the knitwear. The dense arrangement of multiple paddles 6 can cover most of the surface of the shaft 4, reducing the agitation blind zone between the paddles 6, ensuring that the knitwear in different positions in the roller 3 can be effectively dispersed, and preventing the accumulation of knitwear in local areas due to the absence of paddles 6.

[0039] The shaft 4 is also provided with a lever for actuating the knitted fabric. The lever includes multiple sets of insertion holes 7 opened on the shaft 4. The multiple sets of insertion holes 7 are spirally opened clockwise along the surface of the shaft 4, and the insertion holes 7 are located between two sets of levers 6. The shaft 4 is provided with a plug plate 8 corresponding to the position of the insertion hole 7. The connection of the plug plate 8 is inserted into the insertion hole 7 to form an installation area. The plug plate 8 has elastic rods 9 arranged in a circular array. When the horizontal washing machine body 1 is working, the elastic rods 9 contact the knitted fabric in the drum 3 to form an actuating area. The cross section of the elastic rods 9 is L-shaped.

[0040] Here, the connector plate 8 is connected to the connector hole 7 through the connection point to achieve a detachable connection. When the elastic rod 9 is worn, deformed or broken due to long-term use, it is not necessary to replace the entire shaft 4. Only the connector plate 8 needs to be removed to replace the elastic rod 9, which greatly reduces maintenance costs.

[0041] Furthermore, the elastic rods 9 are arranged in a circular array, forming a 360° no-dead-angle agitation area around the shaft 4. No matter where the knitted fabric is in the roller 3, it can be contacted and agitated by the elastic rods 9, ensuring that the knitted fabric is dispersed in all directions and completely eliminating agitation blind spots. The elastic rods 9 have good elasticity. When in contact with the knitted fabric, they will produce slight deformation according to the thickness and softness of the knitted fabric, avoiding deformation and snagging of the knitted fabric caused by hard contact. Compared with rigid agitation parts, the protection effect of the knitted fabric is better.

[0042] Furthermore, the L-shaped cross-section of the elastic rod 9 increases the contact area with the knitted fabric compared to a straight rod structure, enhancing the agitation force and dispersing effect. At the same time, the L-shaped bend reduces friction on the surface of the knitted fabric, further reducing the risk of damage. Moreover, when the circular array of elastic rods 9 rotates, it can form local small water vortices, enhancing the agitation intensity of the water flow in local areas, allowing the detergent to penetrate more fully into the knitted fabric fibers, improving the washing cleanliness. At the same time, the small vortices can help disperse small knitted fabric fragments or loose threads, preventing them from tangling on the surface of the knitted fabric.

[0043] In this invention, when the horizontal washing machine body 1 is started, the water supply device 2 injects washing water into the drum 3; the drive motor on the horizontal washing machine body 1 drives the drum 3 to rotate, and the drum 3 drives the shaft 4 to rotate synchronously. The counterclockwise spiral guide plate 5 on the inner wall of the drum 3 guides the washing water to form a counterclockwise spiral water flow, which drives the knitted fabric to flow along the inner wall of the drum 3; at the same time, the clockwise spiral diamond-shaped paddle 6 on the shaft 4 rotates with the shaft 4, which disperses the water flow and the knitted fabric in a clockwise direction; the L-shaped elastic rod 9 between the two sets of paddles 6 rotates synchronously under the drive of the shaft 4, elastically contacting and agitating the knitted fabric, supplementing the agitation blind area of ​​the paddle 6; under the synergistic effect of the guide plate 5, paddle 6 and elastic rod 9, the knitted fabric is evenly dispersed in the drum 3, avoiding aggregation and tangling, and realizing efficient anti-tangling washing of knitted fabric.

[0044] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
