Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a dyeing process, and more particularly to a dyeing preparation and titration apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] In existing equipment for preparing dye solutions, a certain proportion of powder and liquid are usually mixed to achieve the required percentage amount. However, if the required percentage is very small, it is usually diluted by mixing with liquid multiple times to reduce the percentage. For example, if a certain mixture originally accounts for 10%, to achieve 0.1%, it can be diluted by adding 100 times the amount of liquid to achieve a more precise percentage.

[0003] The traditional method described above typically involves manually diluting each bottle of dye solution one by one using the aforementioned method. This is difficult to coordinate with automated mixing in the front end and automated titration for precise measurement in the back end, making it impossible to integrate into a unified automated processing system.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor, in order to improve and solve the above-mentioned deficiencies, has devoted himself to research and applied theoretical knowledge, and finally proposed an invention with a reasonable design that effectively improves the above-mentioned deficiencies. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The structural and working principles of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0047] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The figures shown are a perspective view, a top view, and a side view of the first embodiment of the present invention. The present invention provides a dye liquor preparation and titration device, comprising a base 1, a powder rack 2, a feeding platform 3, a processing area 4, a conveying platform 5, and a carrying unit 6, wherein:

[0048] The base 1 supports the aforementioned components, allowing each component to be processed and operated on the base 1. The aforementioned carrying unit 6 includes a transverse track 60 arranged along the base 1, a vertical rail 61 that slides across the transverse track 60, and a bottle picker 62 that slides on the vertical rail 61. The transverse track 60 extends as the aforementioned components are arranged on the base 1, allowing the vertical rail 61, which slides on the transverse track 60, to pass over each component. The height of the vertical rail 61 should also be higher than the components to avoid collisions. This allows the bottle picker 62 to pick up the dye bottle 7 (i.e., a bottle containing dye solution) for use in filling the dye solution. Figure 4 (As shown) Take and move the components to each part for processing and operation.

[0049] The powder rack 2 is mounted on the base 1 and located at one end of the aforementioned transverse track 60. In the embodiment of the present invention, the powder rack 2 is composed of multiple upper and lower spaced-apart partitions 20, and different powder containers 200 are respectively arranged on each partition 20. The powder rack 2 is provided with a material picking unit 21, which has a vertically arranged height track 210, a horizontal rail 211 that slides across the height track 210, and a material picking head 212 that slides on the horizontal rail 211. The height track 210 is arranged adjacent to the powder rack 2 and in accordance with the direction of the upper and lower spaced-apart partitions 20, so that the material picking head 212 can select the desired powder container 200 for powder feeding by the vertical displacement of the horizontal rail 211 on the height track 210 and the lateral displacement of the material picking head 212 itself on the horizontal rail 211.

[0050] The feeding platform 3 is located on the base 1 and adjacent to the powder rack 2. The feeding platform 3 includes a feeding head 30, a bottle replenisher 31 and a mixing position 32, all located on the base 1. The feeding head 30 selects the powder container 200 of the desired dye solution through the picking head 212 and supplies the powder. The bottle replenisher 31 is used to replenish the dye solution bottle 7 that has not been mixed with powder to the mixing position 32, so that the feeding head 30 fills the powder container 200 of the desired dye solution into the dye solution bottle 7, thereby performing mixing.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the dye bottle 7 described above all has a cup body 70 and a switch valve 71 located on the lower outer edge of the cup body 70. The switch valve 71 has a valve port 710, which can be opened or closed to determine whether the dye liquid contained in the cup body 70 is allowed to drip out from the valve port 710.

[0052] Please refer to the following as well. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention mainly uses the aforementioned processing zone 4 to adjust and titrate the mixed dye solution bottles 7. The processing zone 4 is located on the base 1 and adjacent to the feeding platform 3, and is sequentially divided into a adjustment zone 40 and a titration zone 41. The adjustment zone 40 is for multiple dye solution bottles 7 to be placed after mixing on the feeding platform 3; that is, the bottle picker 62 of the aforementioned carrying unit 6 moves to the feeding platform 3 by sliding along the vertical rail 61 on the horizontal rail 60, then retrieves the mixed dye solution bottles 7 from the mixing position 32 of the feeding platform 3, and moves them to the adjustment zone 40 for placement. Simultaneously, the bottle picker 62 slides along the vertical rail 61 to select an empty space. During the adjustment process, if further dilution is desired, the bottle picker 62 can use the horizontal rail 60 and vertical rail 61 to precisely select the required dye solution bottles 7 within the adjustment zone 40 for dilution, which can be done once or multiple times. Finally, move the diluted dye bottle 7 to the titration area 41.

[0053] As described above, after the dye solution in the dye bottle 7 is diluted to the required low percentage, the dye bottle 7 is moved to the titration area 41 by the aforementioned bottle taker 62. The titration area 41 is provided with at least one turntable 410, which has a standby position 410a and a titration position 410b. The bottle taker 62 places the dye bottle 7 in the standby position 410a, and then rotates the turntable 410 to position the dye bottle 7 in the titration position 410b for titration. Other dye bottles 7 located in the original titration position 410b are then removed by the bottle taker 62. At the same time, a dye cup (not shown) is placed below the titration position 410b by the aforementioned conveyor 5. The dye cup is a dye bottle without the aforementioned switch valve 71, which receives the required low percentage of dye solution and is then moved by the conveyor 5 to the outside of the base 1 for use in subsequent processing. In this embodiment, the conveyor 5 has a turntable 50, on which a plurality of cup-placement holes 500 are distributed in a circle for placing dye cups, so that after an empty dye cup is placed, it is turned by the turntable 50 to the aforementioned titration position 410b.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The figures shown are a perspective view, a top view, and a side view of the second embodiment of the present invention. The titration zone 41 contains a plurality of turntables 410 arranged in a straight line, and the conveyor 5 is a looping conveyor belt 51 positioned on one side of each turntable 410. This speeds up the titration process, allowing all turntables 410 to operate simultaneously. The conveyor belt 51 also loads the dye cups with the required dye solution, ensuring a stable and sufficient quantity for subsequent processing.

[0055] Therefore, the dyeing solution titration device of the present invention can be obtained by means of the above-described structure.

[0056] In conclusion, this invention can indeed achieve the intended purpose of use and solve known deficiencies. Furthermore, due to its novelty and inventiveness, it fully meets the requirements for an invention patent application. Therefore, this application is filed in accordance with the Patent Law. We respectfully request a thorough review and the granting of this patent to protect the inventor's rights.

[0057] Of course, the present invention may have other various embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
