Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wigs, specifically to a styling tank for high-shrinkage hair fibers. Background Technology
[0002] One current wig manufacturing process involves mixing artificial wig materials with real hair to create a semi-finished product, balancing wig quality, realism, and production costs. To ensure the artificial wig's fiber material has a texture similar to real hair, the nascent fibers undergo oiling and styling treatments during production to make them smooth, cohesive, and possess good anti-static properties, ensuring the finished wig is smooth and skin-friendly. In addition to ensuring the wig's texture is similar to real hair, the production process also requires the fibers to have a natural curly texture. Since the curliness achieved using equipment such as curling machines cannot meet these requirements, high-shrinkage hair fibers are commonly used, achieving curliness through rapid temperature changes. Existing equipment uses a water bath followed by cold air cooling, but because the fiber bundles carry a large amount of hot water with them when leaving the water bath, the cooling speed in the cold air cooling stage is slow, the cold air system requires high power, resulting in poor curliness and high equipment and energy costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing wig curling processes, such as poor curling effect and high cost, this invention provides a styling water tank for high-shrinkage hair fibers that solves the above problems.
[0004] A styling tank for high-shrinkage hair fibers includes a tank, a front guide wheel at the front end of the tank, one or more lower guide wheels in the tank, and a rear guide wheel at the rear end of the tank. The rear guide wheel includes two rollers arranged vertically, both of which are covered with a flexible extrusion layer and the extrusion layers are in close contact with each other.
[0005] In a preferred embodiment of the high-shrinkage hair fiber styling tank provided by this utility model, three lower guide rollers are arranged sequentially along the length of the tank and respectively mounted on the inner wall of the tank via brackets at both ends. Of the three lower guide rollers, the front and rear rollers are at the same height, the middle roller is higher, and all three rollers are located underwater.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the high-shrinkage hair fiber styling water tank provided by this utility model, the front guide wheel is installed in sequence via a connecting arm and a bracket on the inner wall near the top of the front end of the water tank, and extends to the outside of the water tank.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the high-shrinkage hair fiber styling tank provided by this utility model, the rear guide wheels are sequentially installed at the tail end of the tank via connecting arms and brackets, with the lower rear guide wheel having the same height as the front guide wheel. Both rear guide wheels are respectively installed on the same bracket via connecting arms, and the bracket is simultaneously installed on the inner wall and the top of the outer wall at the tail end of the tank.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the high-shrinkage hair fiber styling tank provided by this utility model, an intermediate guide wheel is further included, located between the lower guide wheel and the rear guide wheel. This intermediate guide wheel is mounted on the inner wall of the tank via supports at both ends and is situated above the water. The intermediate guide wheel is closer to the lower guide wheel and farther from the rear guide wheel in the length direction, and closer to the rear guide wheel and farther from the lower guide wheel in the height direction.
[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the high-shrinkage hair styling water tank provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. The solution provided by this utility model is equipped with a double-layer rear guide wheel mechanism at the tail end of the water tank. The water in the fiber bundle is squeezed out through the squeezing layer, so that the cooling speed of the subsequent cold air cooling process is faster, ensuring that the wig has a good curling effect. At the same time, the cooling needs can be met with a smaller power device, reducing equipment and energy costs.
[0010] 2. The solution provided by this utility model adds an intermediate guide wheel to the water tank, which allows the fiber bundle to exit the water at a larger angle, reducing the amount of water carried out and preventing fiber damage caused by excessive water flow impact during squeezing. The intermediate guide wheel also allows the fiber bundle to enter the rear guide wheel at a relatively flat angle, preventing the water pressure from the rear guide wheel from accumulating along the fibers and affecting drainage.

[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the styling tank for high-shrinkage hair fibers.
[0012] The diagram is labeled as follows: Water tank 1, front guide wheel 2, front support 21, lower guide wheel 3, middle guide wheel 4, rear guide wheel 5, rear support 51, fiber bundle 6. Detailed Implementation
[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0014] Please see Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the styling tank for high-shrinkage hair fibers provided by this utility model. The styling tank for high-shrinkage hair fibers includes a tank 1, a front guide roller 2, a lower guide roller 3, a middle guide roller 4, and a rear guide roller 5.
[0015] Water tank 1 has a long strip structure and includes conventional designs such as water inlet, water outlet, overflow outlet, and sewage outlet, which will not be described in detail here.
[0016] At the beginning of the water tank 1, a front support 21 is provided on the inner wall near the top, and a front guide wheel 2 is mounted on it via an oblique connecting arm. The front guide wheel 2 extends to the upper right via the connecting arm, so that it is located outside the water tank 1, which facilitates the introduction of the fiber bundle 6 into the water tank 1 from upstream.
[0017] Three lower guide wheels 3 are arranged sequentially along the length of the water tank 1, and are respectively installed on the inner wall of the water tank 1 by brackets located at both ends. The front and rear two of the three lower guide wheels 3 are at the same height, while the middle one is higher. All three lower guide wheels 3 are located underwater.
[0018] An intermediate guide wheel 4 is positioned between the lower guide wheel 3 and the rear guide wheel 5. Viewed along the length of the water tank 1, the intermediate guide wheel 4 is close to the rightmost lower guide wheel 3; viewed along the height, it is close to either the front guide wheel 2 or the rear guide wheel 5. That is, the intermediate guide wheel 4 is located slightly to the right of the rightmost lower guide wheel 3 and slightly below the front guide wheel 2 or the rear guide wheel 5. The intermediate guide wheel 4 is situated above the water and is also mounted to the inner wall of the water tank 1 via supports located at both ends.
[0019] At the tail end of the water tank 1, a rear support 51 is provided, which is fixed to both its inner and outer walls. On the side of the rear support 51 closest to the inner side of the water tank 1, two rear guide wheels 5 are installed through two oblique connecting arms. The two connecting arms move from the outside of the rear support 51 toward the middle and connect to the rear guide wheels 5, thus opening up the middle area of the rear support 51 for the fiber bundle 6 to pass through from the middle position.
[0020] The surface of the rear guide wheel 5 is covered with a layer of high-elastic rubber as an extrusion layer. The extrusion layers of the two rear guide wheels 5 press against each other, but are not completely pressed together.
[0021] After the fiber bundle 6 passes over the top of the front guide wheel 2, it goes down and passes over the three lower guide wheels 3 in sequence from the bottom, top and bottom. Then it goes up and passes over the top of the middle guide wheel 4, inserts between the two rear guide wheels 5, and then passes out to the cold air cooling process.
[0022] As the fiber bundle 6 passes between the lower guide rollers 3, it is fully heated in the water tank 1. Then, as it moves upward to the middle guide roller 4, it undergoes a first separation of water and fiber by gravity. As it passes between the rear guide rollers 5, it undergoes a second separation of water and fiber by compression.
[0023] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
