[0016] Invention Invention Invention Invention Invention DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 The multifunctional fabric tie-dyeing machine includes a frame 1, a guide roller device 2, a folding plate 3, a cloth swing frame 4, and a segment dyeing machine 5. The guide roller device 2, the folding plate 3, and the cloth swing frame 4 are all arranged on the frame 1. The guide roller device 2 includes a front guide roller 21 and a rear guide roller 22. The folding plate 3 is arranged between the front guide roller 21 and the rear guide roller 22. The segment dyeing machine 5 corresponds to the cloth swing frame 4.

[0019] During use, the multifunctional fabric tie-dyeing machine of the present invention guides the fabric by the front guide rollers 21, ensuring smooth transport to the folding plate 3. The fabric is then folded by the folding plate 3 and gradually pulled by the rear guide rollers 22. In actual use, the fabric, after passing through the rear guide rollers 22, hangs downward. Under the back-and-forth swing of the fabric swing frame 4, it can be stacked on the segment dyeing machine 5 and segment-dyed, achieving a tie-dye effect. This eliminates the need for manual dyeing and folding, making it more reproducible than existing tie-dyeing processes and suitable for mass production.

[0020] The folding plate 3 includes a first winding plate 31 and a second winding plate 32. The first winding plate 31 is provided with a plurality of first U-shaped grooves 311, and the second winding plate 32 is provided with a plurality of second U-shaped grooves 321. The first winding plate 31 and the second winding plate 32 are arranged opposite each other, with the first U-shaped grooves 311 and the second U-shaped grooves 321 being staggered, and the openings of the second U-shaped grooves 321 extending into the first U-shaped grooves 311. The second winding plate 32 is located above the first winding plate 31.

[0021] When the cloth passes through the folding plate 3, in order to prevent the cloth from being scratched by the top ends of each U-shaped groove, rollers are installed at the end surface where the first U-shaped groove 311 extends into the second U-shaped groove 311, and at the end surface where the second U-shaped groove 321 extends into the first U-shaped groove 311, so as to reduce the resistance encountered by the cloth when passing through the turning point and at the same time, protect the cloth.

[0022] A feed opening 33 is formed between the ends of the first winding plate 31 and the second winding plate 32. The feed opening 33 is connected to the first U-shaped groove 311 and the second U-shaped groove 321. After the cloth passes through the front guide roller 21, it is evenly pulled out and then folded under the guidance of the folding plate 3. The cloth is gathered from the two side feed openings 33 to the central U-shaped groove.

[0023] The length of the folding plate 3 is smaller than the length of the guide roller device 2 , so that the wider cloth can be gathered and folded under the action of the folding plate 3 .

[0024] There are two folding plates 3, which are arranged in sequence on the frame 1. Both folding plates 3 are arranged on the frame 1 at an angle and in a parallel position. Specifically, the feed opening 33 of the folding plate 3 near the front guide roller 21 is higher than the front guide roller 21, and the bottom of the first U-shaped groove 311 of the first winding plate 31 of the other folding plate 3 is higher than the top of the second U-shaped groove 321 of the second winding plate 32 of the preceding folding plate. Therefore, through this arrangement, the fabric can be folded by the preceding folding plate 3 and then pulled upward by the following folding plate 3, as well as guided, to enhance the folding effect of the fabric.

[0025] The front guide roller 21 includes a first guide roller 211, a second guide roller 212, a third guide roller 213, a fourth guide roller 214, and a fifth guide roller 215. The fabric is sequentially wound around the first guide roller 211, the second guide roller 212, the third guide roller 213, the fourth guide roller 214, the fifth guide roller 215, and the folding plate 3. Both ends of the first guide roller 211, the second guide roller 212, the third guide roller 213, the fourth guide roller 214, and the fifth guide roller 215 are mounted on the frame 1. The first guide roller 211 and the second guide roller 212 are positioned opposite each other. The fabric passes between the first guide roller 211 and the second guide roller 212 before being wound around the third guide roller 213 and the fourth guide roller 214. The third guide roller 213, the fourth guide roller 214, and the fifth guide roller 215 are arranged in order from bottom to top, with the folding plate being higher than the fifth guide roller 215.

[0026] The multifunctional fabric tie-dyeing machine of the present invention also includes a first motor 6 and a transmission device 7. The rear guide roller 22 includes a sixth guide roller 221. After the fabric passes through the folding plate 3, it is wound around the sixth guide roller 221. The first motor 6 is mounted on the frame 1. The transmission device 7 includes a first gear, a second gear 72, and a first transmission belt 73. The first gear is mounted on the output shaft of the first motor 6. The second gear 72 is connected to the first gear via the first transmission belt 73. One end of the sixth guide roller 221 is mounted on the second gear 72. The sixth guide roller 221 is located at the top of the frame 1, higher than the folding plate 3.

[0027] The first motor 6 drives the sixth guide roller 221 to rotate via the gears and drive belts in the transmission device 7, thereby pulling the folded fabric. After the fabric passes over the sixth guide roller 221, it hangs vertically downward and, under the swinging action of the fabric swing frame 4, can be stacked on the segment dyeing machine 5.

[0028] During actual use, the multifunctional cloth tie-dyeing machine of the present invention further includes an eighth guide roller, which is located above the sixth guide roller 221. The eighth guide roller and the sixth guide roller 221 work together to press the cloth passing through the sixth guide roller 221, which is conducive to maintaining the folded state of the cloth.

[0029] The multifunctional cloth tie-dyeing machine of the present invention also includes a rocker device 8, a third gear 9, a fourth gear 10 and a second transmission belt 20. The third gear 9 is sleeved on the other end of the sixth guide roller 221, and the fourth gear 10 is connected to the third gear 9 through the second transmission belt 20. The cloth swing frame 4 includes a frame body 41 and a seventh guide roller 42. The rocker device 8 includes a first connecting rod 81, a second connecting rod and a third connecting rod. The first connecting rod 81 is L-shaped, one end of the first connecting rod 81 is connected to the fourth gear 10, and the other end is connected to one end of the second connecting rod. The other end of the second connecting rod is sleeved on the third connecting rod. The third connecting rod is connected to the frame body 41, and the seventh guide roller 42 is provided on the frame body 41.

[0030] When the first motor 6 is operating, it drives the sixth guide roller 221 to rotate. The sixth guide roller 221 drives the third gear 9 to rotate. Under the action of the third gear 9, the fourth gear 10 is driven to rotate via the second transmission belt 20. The fourth gear 10 enables the first connecting rod 81 to rotate together. Because the first connecting rod 81 is L-shaped, when the first connecting rod 81 rotates, it can drive the second connecting rod to pull back and forth. The second connecting rod, through the third connecting rod, pulls the frame 41 back and forth, causing the seventh guide roller 42 on the frame 41 to swing back and forth. After passing through the sixth guide roller, the fabric falls onto the seventh guide roller 42. As the seventh guide roller 42 swings back and forth, the fabric can swing back and forth with the seventh guide roller 42, achieving stacking on the segment dyeing machine 5.

[0031] In actual use, the multifunctional fabric tie-dyeing machine of the present invention further includes a second motor 30. Two mounting rods 43 are provided on a frame 41. The seventh guide roller 42 has its ends mounted on the mounting rods 43. The second motor 30 is mounted on one of the mounting rods 43. The seventh guide roller 42 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 30. The second motor 30 allows the seventh guide roller 42 to rotate while swinging, driven by the second motor 30. This provides better guidance for the fabric and facilitates the even dropping of the folded fabric.

[0032] The segment dyeing machine 5 includes a cloth support tray 51, a storage tray 52 and a color trough 53. The color trough 53 is arranged corresponding to the storage tray 52. ​​The cloth support tray 51 corresponds to the seventh guide roller 42 and the storage tray 52. ​​The storage tray 52 is provided with a pattern module 54.

[0033] After being guided by the seventh guide roller 42, the fabric falls onto the cloth tray 51, where it is swung back and forth and stacked. Once the fabric is dropped, it is pushed under the accumulator tray 52. ​​The dye in the color trough 53 flows through the accumulator tray 52 onto the cloth tray 51, achieving the space dyeing of the fabric. Because the fabric is folded and stacked, the resulting space dyeing creates a tie-dye effect.

[0034] In actual use, the segment dyeing machine 5 is connected to the color slots 53 and the storage tray 52 via a feed pipe. The feed pipe can be connected to a connecting piece to facilitate the connection of the feed pipes of different color slots 53 through the connecting piece. Specifically, the connecting piece can be a multi-way pipe or a bus bar; the multi-way pipe can be a tee pipe or a cross pipe, etc., which can facilitate the connection of the feed pipes.

[0035] The segment dyeing machine 5 further includes a connecting pipe, one end of which is connected to the other end of the connecting piece, and the other end corresponds to the storage tray 52. ​​The multi-way pipe can be a three-way pipe, a four-way pipe, etc., which can facilitate the connection of the feeding pipe.

[0036] A pattern module 54 is mounted on the storage tray 52, which allows the dye solution in the color tank 53 to be section-dyed according to the corresponding pattern under the action of the pattern module 54, enriching the pattern on the fabric. A plurality of baffles 521 can be mounted on the storage tray 52 to facilitate section dyeing of the fabric.

[0037] The segment dyeing machine 5 also includes a blanking plate 57, which is mounted on the storage tray 52 and positioned above the baffle bars 521 and pattern modules 54. The blanking plate 57 is equipped with multiple hollow rods 58 and multiple through-holes. The rods 58 are positioned above these through-holes, and the other end of the connecting tube is connected to the rods 58. The through-holes on the blanking plate 57 correspond to the gaps between adjacent baffle bars 521 and the gaps between pattern modules 54. This allows the remaining dye to pass directly through the rods 58 and the blanking plate 57, into the gaps between the baffle bars 521, and onto the fabric for dyeing. In actual use, multiple blanking tubes are connected to the bottom of a color trough 53 to connect with the rods 58 on the blanking plate 57, facilitating fabric dyeing.

[0038] During dyeing, after the cloth is stacked on the cloth tray 51, the cloth tray 51 is pushed to the bottom of the storage tray 52 and then dyeing is carried out; after dyeing is completed, the cloth tray 51 is pulled out and the dyed cloth is taken out from the cloth tray 51, which is convenient for taking and placing.

[0039] The segment dyeing machine 5 further includes a lifting mechanism and a negative pressure device. The lifting mechanism is arranged below the cloth supporting plate 51 and is connected to the cloth supporting plate 51 . The negative pressure device is communicated with the cloth supporting plate 51 .

[0040] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder, and the piston rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to the bottom of the cloth supporting plate 51.

[0041] The negative pressure device includes a vacuum pump, which is connected to the cloth tray 51. The bottom of the cloth tray 51 is provided with a communicating hole, which is connected to the vacuum pump through the communicating hole.

[0042] After the fabric to be dyed is placed on the cloth tray 51, it is pushed directly below the storage tray 52. ​​The piston rod of the lifting cylinder then extends, pushing the cloth tray 51 upward, pressing the fabric against the bottom of the storage tray 52. ​​This allows the dye flowing from the insertion rod 58 at the blanking plate 57 to dye the corresponding area of ​​the fabric, achieving segment dyeing. Simultaneously, while the dye is being dyed, the vacuum pump is activated to create negative pressure at the cloth tray 51, facilitating the dye's rapid penetration into the fabric, significantly improving dyeing efficiency and achieving a tie-dyeing effect.

[0043] The storage tray 52 is equipped with a mounting platform, on which the baffle strips 521 and pattern module 54 are mounted. The mounting platform can be formed by inwardly folded edges on both sides of the storage tray 52, which facilitates the installation of the baffle strips 521 on the storage tray 52. ​​After being dyed in the segment dyeing machine, the fabric undergoes subsequent processing such as steam fixing to achieve a stable color.

[0044] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
