Multi-container dyeing machine with individual container temperature control and quantitative chemical-feeding control

Abstract

A multi-container dyeing machine includes a machine frame base, a heating and cooling module having multiple temperature-controlled heating and cooling devices each consisting of a housing, a container, a heating unit, a temperature sensor, a transmission wheel and an electric fan and a mounting plate mounted in the machine frame base to carry the temperature-controlled heating and cooling devices, an automatic quantitative feeder for selectively feeding an auxiliary agent to the containers of the temperature-controlled heating and cooling devices selectively without interrupting the machine and a swinging mechanism controllable to tilt the mounting plate of heating and cooling module and the temperature-controlled heating and cooling devices.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to dying technology and more particularly, to a multi-container dyeing machine, which enables the dyeing containers to be rotated and shaken and can separately control the dyeing temperature in every individual dyeing container and quantitative feeding of chemicals to every individual dyeing container.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Regular textile dyeing machines are generally of a multi-container design. These multi-container design textile dyeing machines are suitable for dyeing multiple pieces of fabric at a time. When performing a dyeing process, it must be layouted subject to the physical properties of the fabric and dyeing agent to perform temperature-rising, temperature-maintaining, temperature-lowering and agent-feeding steps properly, thereby achieving a uniform dyeing effect. However, regular dyeing machines commonly adopt a single temperature control, i.e., sensing ...

Benefits of technology

[0008]The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is one object of the present invention to provide a multi-container dyeing machine, which enables the temperature of each of multiple containers thereof to be individually and accurately controlled to perform a respective dyeing process.

[0009]It is another object of the present invention to provide a multi-container dyeing machine, which enables the temperature of each of multiple containers thereof to be individually and accurately controlled so that different fabrics or different dyeing agents can be respectively applied to the containers to perform different dyeing processes.

[0010]It is still another object of the present invention to provide a multi-container dyeing machine, which enables the containers of the heating and cooling modules thereof to be rotated on their own axis to make a first motion along a first motion path, and titled forwards and backwards to make a second motion along a second motion path, enhancing mixing of the fabric with the applied dyeing agent in each container to obtain a better dyeing quality and to avoid wrinkles of the dyeing fabric.

[0011]It is still another object of the present invention to provide a multi-container dyeing machine, which can automatically feed an auxiliary agent, enhancing the dyeing performance.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, conventional dyeing machines are not practical for dyeing different fabrics with different dyeing agents in the multiple containers at a time.

Except the aforesaid temperature control problem, it is necessary to consider the adhesion of the dyeing agent to the fabric.

Simply by controlling the dyeing temperature cannot cause the applied dyeing agent to be fully adhered to the fabric.

When dyeing a soft fabric, this motion may wrinkle the fabric, resulting in uneven dyeing.

Manually feeding an auxiliary agent cannot accurately control the quality and requires much labor.

If the auxiliary agent is not properly applied, the dyeing result may be not acceptable.
