Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of down cleaning technology, specifically to an odor removal device for down washing. Background Technology

[0002] Down is a natural insulating material composed of down clusters and down fibers from waterfowl (ducks, geese, etc.). With its three-dimensional spherical structure forming an air insulation layer, it has excellent properties such as being lightweight, highly warm, highly fluffy, and breathable. It is the core filling material for high-end cold-weather clothing, bedding, and outdoor equipment.

[0003] Since recycled down often retains odors from storage, transportation, and contamination, these odors, if not thoroughly removed, will directly affect the processing suitability of the down and the user experience of the finished products, and may even become a key obstacle to improving the quality of the down. In existing technologies, the industry mostly uses water washing processes to treat recycled down in a special way, which can effectively reduce the amount of odor residue inside the down, thereby improving the cleanliness and quality grade of the down.

[0004] However, existing down washing processes mostly use static soaking. During this process, down tends to tangle and clump together, preventing the down inside the clumps from fully contacting odor-decomposing media such as ozone water and active oxygen solution. This results in noticeable odor residue in certain areas of the down, which not only affects the cleanliness and fluffiness of the down but also has an adverse impact on the quality and user experience of subsequent processing and finished products.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1 - Figure 8 As shown, this utility model provides an odor removal device for down washing, including a washing tank 110, a washing component 200 and a fixing component 300.

[0023] In this embodiment, a support base 120 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 110. A drain valve 130 is installed at the bottom of the support base 120. The drain valve 130 communicates with the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 110 and is used to discharge waste liquid after cleaning.

[0024] In this embodiment, the proposed cleaning assembly 200 is used to perform cleaning and deodorization, including a down carrying basket 270, down combing paddles 280, and a drive mechanism, wherein the drive mechanism includes a motor 210, a main drive bevel gear 220, a basket drive bevel gear 260, and a combing drive bevel gear 230.

[0025] In practice, the motor 210 is fixedly installed on the top side of the support base 120, and its output end is connected to the main drive bevel gear 220. The down carrying basket 270 is symmetrically provided with connecting shafts 250 on both sides. The connecting shafts 250 pass through and are rotatably installed on the side wall of the washing tank 110, so that the down carrying basket 270 can rotate relative to the washing tank 110.

[0026] Furthermore, a through hole 251 is axially extending through the interior of the connecting shaft 250, and a rotating shaft 240 is rotatably disposed within the through hole 251. It should be noted that a basket drive bevel gear 260 is fixedly disposed at the outer end of the connecting shaft 250, while a combing drive bevel gear 230 is fixedly disposed at the end of the rotating shaft 240 extending outside the connecting shaft 250. Both the combing drive bevel gear 230 and the basket drive bevel gear 260 mesh with the main drive bevel gear 220. Therefore, when the motor 210 drives the main drive bevel gear 220 to rotate, it can simultaneously drive the basket drive bevel gear 260 and the combing drive bevel gear 230 to rotate in opposite directions, thereby driving the down-carrying basket 270 and the rotating shaft 240 to rotate in opposite directions respectively.

[0027] In this embodiment, in order to break up the clumps of down, a paddle fixing collar 290 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 240, and four sets of down combing paddles 280 are evenly and radially fixedly connected on the outside of the paddle fixing collar 290.

[0028] Furthermore, in order to transmit torque and allow axial adjustment, a limiting groove 241 is provided on the inner side of the rotating shaft 240 along the axial direction, and a limiting block 291 is correspondingly provided on the inner side of the blade fixing collar 290. The limiting block 291 slides into the limiting groove 241, so that the blade fixing collar 290 and the down combing blade 280 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 240, and can also slide along its axial direction to adjust their positions.

[0029] Furthermore, to fix the adjusted position, multiple sets of fixing holes 242 are evenly opened on the inner side of the limiting groove 241 along its length direction, and a threaded post 292 is threaded through the inner side of the limiting block 291. By screwing the threaded post 292 into the corresponding fixing hole 242, the blade fixing collar 290 can be locked.

[0030] In this embodiment, the proposed fixing component 300 is used to seal the down-carrying basket 270 during the washing process to prevent down leakage.

[0031] In practice, the system includes a sealing top cover 310, a locking slider 330, and a fixing buckle 340. The sealing top cover 310 is hinged to the top side of the down-carrying basket 270, allowing it to be opened and closed. A slot 271 is provided on the inner side of the top edge of the down-carrying basket 270. A sliding groove 312 is provided on the inner side of the sealing top cover 310, within which the locking slider 330 is slidably disposed.

[0032] It should be noted that a retaining buckle 340 is connected to the end of the locking slider 330 facing the down carrying basket 270. It can be understood that by pushing the locking slider 330 along the slide groove 312, the retaining buckle 340 can be inserted into or disengaged from the slot 271 on the down carrying basket 270, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking of the sealing top cover 310.

[0033] Furthermore, to enhance the reliability of locking, a bolt 320 is threaded through the top of the slide groove 312, and a threaded hole 331 is correspondingly opened on the inner side of the locking slider 330. When the fixing buckle 340 is inserted into the slot 271, the bolt 320 can be turned to screw it into the threaded hole 331 of the locking slider 330 to form a rigid fixation.

[0034] Furthermore, for ease of operation, a pull plate 350 is provided at the end of the locking slider 330 facing away from the fixing buckle 340. In addition, to ensure that the cleaning fluid can fully enter and exit, multiple sets of ventilation holes 311 are provided through the walls of both the sealing top cover 310 and the down carrying basket 270.

[0035] Based on the above technical concept, the working principle and operation process of this utility model are as follows: The staff first opens the sealed top cover 310, places the down to be cleaned into the down carrying basket 270, and then closes the sealed top cover 310. Pushing the pull plate 350 causes the locking slider 330 to slide, so that the fixing buckle 340 is engaged in the slot 271 of the down carrying basket 270, achieving initial locking; then tightening the bolts 320 completes the final fixing.

[0036] Depending on the amount of down, the height of the down combing blades 280 can be adjusted first: slide the blade fixing ring 290 along the rotating shaft 240 to a suitable position, and then tighten the threaded post 292 on it so that its end is engaged in the corresponding fixing hole 242 in the limiting groove 241 of the rotating shaft 240 to complete the positioning. Start the motor 210, and the main drive bevel gear 220 simultaneously drives the basket drive bevel gear 260 and the combing drive bevel gear 230 to rotate in opposite directions. The down carrying basket 270 rotates in the forward direction, causing the down inside to tumble continuously and come into full contact with the cleaning solution; at the same time, the rotating shaft 240 drives the down combing blades 280 to rotate in the reverse direction at high speed, beating and combing the down clumps in the down carrying basket 270, breaking them apart, and allowing the down fibers to fully expand, greatly increasing the contact area with the odor decomposition medium, thereby achieving deep cleaning and efficient deodorization. After cleaning, open the drain valve 130 to discharge the waste liquid, loosen the fixing component 300, and the clean down can be taken out.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
