Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant dyeing technology, specifically to a dye extraction system for plant dyeing. Background Technology
[0002] Natural dyeing is a process that extracts natural pigments from plants and uses them for coloring. People in the Shang and Zhou dynasties had already mastered the relevant techniques. For the modern dyeing and finishing industry, which is heavily polluting, natural dyeing is healthy, environmentally friendly, and causes less pollution, contributing to ecological balance and healthy development.
[0003] In current plant dyeing processes, the dye solution is obtained by boiling plant materials in water and filtering it. The filter residue is then boiled and filtered repeatedly, and the dye solutions obtained from the multiple boilings are mixed to reduce material waste. However, this method has low extraction efficiency and is cumbersome to operate.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new dye extraction system for plant dyeing. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a dye extraction system for plant dyeing, which can improve the extraction efficiency of dye.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A dye extraction system for plant dyeing is provided, comprising a main body, a feeding pipeline, a circulation pipeline, a discharge pipeline, and a water injection pipeline. The main body includes a shell, a first gear, and a second gear. The shell has an internal cavity, and the first and second gears are housed within the cavity of the shell. Both the first and second gears are rotatably engaged with the shell, and they mesh with each other. The cavity of the shell, excluding the first and second gears, constitutes a working space. The working space is divided into chamber one and chamber two by the meshing lines of the first and second gears. At least a portion of the tooth tips of the first and second gears are close to the sidewall of the working space. The top of the shell has an interface one connecting to chamber one, and the bottom of the shell has an interface two connecting to chamber two. A filter is provided on interface two. One end of the feeding pipeline is connected to interface one. Both ends of the circulation pipeline are connected to interface one and interface two, respectively. One end of the discharge pipeline is connected to interface one, and a filter collector is provided on the discharge pipeline.
[0007] Furthermore, the plant material can be fed into the working space through the feeding pipe, while simultaneously driving gear one and gear two to rotate slowly. The meshing part of gear one and gear two moves from top to bottom, and the plant material is squeezed by the meshing teeth between gear one and gear two, promoting the extrusion of pigments from the plant material. As gear one and gear two rotate continuously, the plant material will enter the space enclosed by the tooth grooves of gear one and gear two and the side wall of the adjacent working space, and with the rotation of gear one and gear two, the plant material will be transferred from chamber two to chamber one, thereby achieving multiple compression of the plant material.
[0008] Furthermore, as gears one and two rotate rapidly, and simultaneously the meshing point of gears one and two moves from bottom to top or from top to bottom, the volume of chamber one on the disengaged side of gears one and two increases, creating a vacuum. Conversely, the volume of chamber two on the meshing side of gears one and two decreases, increasing pressure and forcing the dye liquid out from interface two. The dye liquid then enters the working space through the circulation pipe from interface one. Due to the presence of the filter, the dye liquid continuously washes over the vegetation material at the meshing point of gears one and two. As the gears move downwards, the volume of chamber two on the disengaged side of gear one and gear two increases, creating a vacuum. Meanwhile, the volume of chamber one on the meshing side of gear one and gear two decreases, increasing the pressure and forcing the dye liquid out of interface one. The dye liquid and plant material enter the working space through the circulation pipe from the interface. Due to the presence of the filter, the filtrate continuously washes the plant material, promoting the removal of pigments from the plant material. This is achieved by the rapid rotation of gear one and gear two, with gear one rotating alternately in both directions, alternating the flow direction in the circulation pipe and further promoting the removal of pigments.
[0009] Furthermore, the drive gears one and two rotate rapidly, while the meshing points of gears one and two move from top to bottom, creating a vacuum in chamber two on the disengagement side of gears one and two. Water from the water injection pipe is drawn into the chamber, and the pressure in chamber one on the meshing side of gears one and two increases, causing the dye liquor and filter residue from the plant material to be discharged from interface one through the discharge pipe. The filter residue from the plant material is collected by the filter collector for unified recycling and treatment, while the remaining dye is collected and used from the other end of the discharge pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, the housing includes an outer shell, and cover plate one and cover plate two disposed on both sides of the outer shell, with the interior of the outer shell and the portion between cover plate one and cover plate two forming an internal cavity of the housing.
[0011] Furthermore, one end of the gear is provided with a drive shaft extending to the outside of the housing, and the drive shaft is used for transmission connection with the power unit.
[0012] Furthermore, the side of the filter near gear one and gear two is close to gear one and gear two, and the side of the filter near gear one and gear two is adapted to the shape of the tooth tip circle of gear one and gear two.
[0013] Furthermore, when the feeding pipeline is opened, the circulation pipeline and the discharge pipeline are closed, and the water injection pipeline is opened or closed.
[0014] Furthermore, when the circulation pipeline is opened, the feeding pipeline, the water injection pipeline, and the discharge pipeline are closed.
[0015] Furthermore, when the discharge pipeline is opened, the water injection pipeline is opened, and the circulation pipeline and the feeding pipeline are closed.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The plant dyeing liquor extraction system provided by this invention includes a main body, a feeding pipeline, a circulation pipeline, a discharge pipeline, and a water injection pipeline. The main body includes a shell, a first gear, and a second gear. The shell has an internal cavity, and the first and second gears are housed in the cavity of the shell. Both the first and second gears are rotatably engaged with the shell, and the first and second gears mesh with each other. The cavity of the shell, excluding the first and second gears, constitutes a working space. The working space is divided into a first chamber and a second chamber by the meshing lines of the first and second gears. The tooth tips of the first and second gears are at least partially close to the side wall of the working space, and the top of the shell has a connecting cavity. The first interface of chamber one is provided, and the bottom of the shell is provided with a second interface that connects to chamber two. A filter is provided on the second interface. One end of the feeding pipe is connected to the first interface, and the herbaceous materials can be fed into the working space through the feeding pipe via the first interface. The two ends of the circulation pipe are connected to the first interface and the second interface respectively. One end of the discharge pipe is connected to the first interface, and a filter collector is provided on the discharge pipe. Thus, through the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the herbaceous dyeing liquor extraction system provided by the present invention can extract the dye liquor more easily and improve the dye liquor extraction efficiency.

Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," or "in some of these embodiments" appear in various places throughout the specification, and not all refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic may be combined in any suitable manner.
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention will now describe a dye extraction system for plant dyeing. This system includes a main body 1, a feeding pipe 2, a circulation pipe 3, a discharge pipe 4, and a water injection pipe 5. The main body 1 includes a shell 11, a first gear 12, and a second gear 13. The shell 11 has an internal cavity, and the first gear 12 and the second gear 13 are housed within the cavity of the shell 11. Both the first gear 12 and the second gear 13 are rotatably engaged with the shell 11, and they mesh with each other. The cavity of the shell 11, excluding the first gear 12 and the second gear 13, constitutes a working space 14. The working space 14 is divided into a first chamber 15 and a second chamber 16 by the meshing lines of the first gear 12 and the second gear 13. 2. The tooth tip of gear 13 is at least partially close to the side wall of the working space 14, and the top of the housing 11 is provided with an interface 17 connecting to chamber 15, and the bottom of the housing 11 is provided with an interface 18 connecting to chamber 16. A filter 19 is provided on interface 18. One end of the feeding pipe 2 is connected to interface 17, and grass and wood materials can be fed into the working space 14 through interface 17 via the feeding pipe 2. The two ends of the circulation pipe 3 are connected to interface 17 and interface 18 respectively, and one end of the discharge pipe 4 is connected to interface 17. A filter collector 41 is provided on the discharge pipe 4. Figure 1As shown, the plant material is first fed into the working space 14 through the feeding pipe 2. Simultaneously, gears 12 and 13 are slowly rotated. The meshing points of gears 12 and 13 move from top to bottom, squeezing the plant material through the meshing teeth of gears 12 and 13, promoting the expulsion of pigments from the plant material. With the continuous rotation of gears 12 and 13, the plant material enters the space enclosed by the tooth grooves of gears 12 and 13 and the adjacent side wall of the working space 14. The rotation of gears 12 and 13 transfers the plant material from chamber 2 16 to chamber 15, thus achieving multiple compressions of the plant material. Additionally, water can be injected into the working space 14 through the feeding pipe 2 or the water injection pipe 5 to promote pigment discharge. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, then, drive gear 12 and gear 13 rotate rapidly, while the meshing point of gear 12 and gear 13 moves from bottom to top or from top to bottom. When the meshing point of gear 12 and gear 13 moves from bottom to top, the volume of chamber 15 on the disengaged side of gear 12 and gear 13 increases, forming a vacuum. The volume of chamber 16 on the meshing side of gear 12 and gear 13 decreases, and the pressure increases, forcing the dye liquid out from interface 18. The dye liquid enters the working space 14 from interface 17 through the circulation pipe 3. Due to the presence of filter 19, the dye liquid continuously washes the plant material, further promoting the removal of pigments from the plant material. Figure 3 As shown, when gear 12 and gear 23 move downwards at their meshing point, the volume of chamber 2 16 on the disengaged side of gear 12 and gear 2 13 increases, creating a vacuum. Meanwhile, the volume of chamber 15 on the meshing side of gear 12 and gear 2 13 decreases, increasing pressure and forcing the dye liquid out from interface 17. The dye liquid and plant material enter the working space 14 through interface 18 via circulation pipe 3. Due to the presence of filter 19, the filtrate continuously flushes the plant material, promoting the removal of pigments from the plant material. This is achieved by the rapid rotation of gear 12 and gear 2 13, with gear 12 rotating alternately in both directions, alternating the flow direction in circulation pipe 3, further promoting pigment removal. Figure 4As shown, the first drive gear 12 and the second drive gear 13 rotate rapidly. At the same time, the meshing part of the first drive gear 12 and the second drive gear 13 moves from top to bottom, causing a vacuum to be formed in the second chamber 16 on the disengaged side of the first drive gear 12 and the second drive gear 13. Water in the water injection pipe 5 is drawn into the second chamber 16, and the pressure in the first chamber 15 on the meshing side of the first drive gear 12 and the second drive gear 13 increases, causing the dye liquor and the filter residue of the herbaceous material to be discharged from the interface 17 through the discharge pipe 4. The filter residue of the herbaceous material is collected by the filter collector 41 for unified recycling and treatment. The remaining dye liquor is collected and used from the other end of the discharge pipe 4. Thus, through the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the herbaceous dye liquor extraction system provided by the embodiment of the present invention can extract the dye liquor more easily and improve the dye liquor extraction efficiency.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, when the feeding pipeline 2 is open, the circulation pipeline 3 and the discharge pipeline 4 are closed, and the water injection pipeline 5 is either open or closed.
[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, when the circulation pipeline 3 is open, the feeding pipeline 2, the water injection pipeline 5, and the discharge pipeline 4 are closed.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, when the discharge pipe 4 is opened, the water injection pipe 5 is opened, and the circulation pipe 3 and the feeding pipe 2 are closed.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in some of these embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the housing 11 includes an outer shell 111 and cover plate 112 and cover plate 113 covering both sides of the outer shell 111. The portion inside the outer shell 111 and between cover plate 112 and cover plate 113 constitutes the cavity inside the housing 11.
[0035] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of gear 12 is provided with a drive shaft 121 extending to the outside of housing 11. The drive shaft 121 is used for transmission connection with a power unit (not shown), which may be, but is not limited to, an electric motor.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the side of filter 19 near gear 12 and gear 2 13 is close to gear 12 and gear 2 13, and the side of filter 19 near gear 12 and gear 2 13 is adapted to the shape of the tip circle of gear 12 and gear 2 13. Figure 1As shown, when the plant material is driven from the meshing point of gear 12 and gear 23 into chamber 26, the plant material will be scraped upward by the teeth of gear 12 and gear 23 and move upward with gear 12 and gear 23, so as to move the plant material from chamber 26 to chamber 15, so that the plant material circulates between chamber 15 and chamber 26.
[0037] During the process of flushing the vegetation material through the circulation pipe 3, the gear 12 rotates alternately in both directions, causing the flow direction in the circulation pipe 3 to change alternately. This flushes and cleans the particles attached to the filter 19, preventing the filter 19 from becoming clogged.
[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, gear 12 and gear 23 are spur gears.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

2. The dye extraction system for plant dyeing according to claim 1, characterized in that: The plant material is fed into the working space through the feeding pipe. At the same time, gear one and gear two are driven to rotate slowly. The meshing part of gear one and gear two moves from top to bottom. The plant material is squeezed by the meshing teeth of gear one and gear two, which promotes the extrusion of pigments from the plant material. As gear one and gear two rotate continuously, the plant material enters the space enclosed by the tooth grooves of gear one and gear two and the side wall of the working space. With the rotation of gear one and gear two, the plant material is transferred from chamber two to chamber one, thus achieving multiple compression of the plant material.
3. The dye extraction system for plant dyeing according to claim 1, characterized in that: Drive gear one and gear two to rotate rapidly. Simultaneously, as the meshing point of gear one and gear two moves from bottom to top or from top to bottom, the volume of chamber one on the disengaged side of gear one and gear two increases, creating a vacuum. Conversely, the volume of chamber two on the meshing side of gear one and gear two decreases, increasing pressure and forcing the dye liquid out from interface two. The dye liquid then enters the working space through interface one via a circulation pipe. Due to the presence of a filter, the dye liquid continuously washes over the vegetation material. At the meshing point of gear one and gear two, the dye liquid moves from bottom to top... During the downward motion, the volume of chamber two on the disengaged side of gear one and gear two increases from small to large, forming a vacuum. The volume of chamber one on the meshing side of gear one and gear two decreases from large to small, increasing the pressure and forcing the dye liquid out from interface one. The dye liquid and plant material enter the working space through the circulation pipeline from the interface. Due to the presence of the filter, the filtrate continuously washes the plant material, promoting the removal of pigments from the plant material. As gear one and gear two rotate rapidly, and gear one rotates alternately in both directions, the flow direction in the circulation pipeline is adjusted alternately, promoting the removal of pigments.
4. The dye extraction system for plant dyeing according to claim 1, characterized in that: Drive gear one and gear two to rotate rapidly. At the same time, the meshing part of gear one and gear two moves from top to bottom, creating a vacuum in chamber two on the disengagement side of gear one and gear two. Water in the water injection pipe is drawn into chamber two, and the pressure in chamber one on the meshing side of gear one and gear two increases. This causes the dye liquor and filter residue of the plant material to be discharged from interface one through the discharge pipe. The filter residue of the plant material is collected by the filter collector for unified recycling and treatment, while the dye is collected and used from the other end of the discharge pipe.
