Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated equipment for textile dye preparation, and in particular to a dye mixing and collecting device and a method of using the dye mixing and collecting device. Background Technology

[0002] When fabrics are processed, they need to be dyed to give them specific colors to meet different needs. During the dyeing process, the dyes need to be mixed, which involves combining various dyes, auxiliaries, and water to create a specific dye that achieves a particular color. This mixing process is crucial for the dyes, and different combinations of dyes are used depending on the fabric.

[0003] In traditional dyeing and printing production, dyes are manually mixed and dispensed, resulting in low efficiency and accuracy. The lack of strict control over the mixing process often leads to poor product quality. While some dye mixing devices for textile dyeing exist, these devices are generally designed for mixing liquid dyes and water, and have limited compatibility with powdered auxiliaries. They struggle to achieve flexible mixing and require manual addition of powdered dyes. Furthermore, these dye mixing devices suffer from poor mixing accuracy, low automation, and significant reliance on manual operation. Summary of the Invention

[0021] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The dye mixing and collecting device of the present invention is provided in the following embodiments: A dye mixing and collecting device includes: a frame 100, a mixing and stirring assembly, a powder dye supply assembly, and a liquid dye supply assembly.

[0023] The mixing assembly includes a material mixing tank 200, a spraying mechanism, and a material transfer mechanism. The spraying mechanism includes a spray pipe 251 and a high-pressure water supply device 140. The high-pressure water supply device 140 supplies high-pressure water to the spray pipe 251. One end of the spray pipe 251 extends into the material mixing tank 200, and the spray pipe 251 is equipped with a nozzle 252. The material transfer mechanism is used to transfer the material out of the material mixing tank.

[0024] The powder dye supply assembly includes a powder storage container 150, a suction pump 110, and a powder dye supply pipe 120. The powder storage container 150, the suction pump 110, and the powder dye supply pipe 120 are connected in sequence, and the powder dye supply pipe 120 is connected to the aggregate mixing tank 200.

[0025] The liquid dye supply assembly includes at least one liquid dye supply pipe 130, and at least one of the liquid dye supply pipes 130 is provided with a filling valve 210 connected to the collecting and mixing tank 200.

[0026] The powder storage container 150 is used to store powdered dye. The powdered dye is pumped by the suction pump 110 along the powdered dye supply pipe 120 to the collection and mixing tank 200, thus supplying the powdered dye. The liquid dye supply pipe 130 can be connected to the dye supply source, and the high-pressure water supply device 140 can spray water into the collection and mixing tank 200 through the spray pipe 251. In actual use, dilution water, powdered dye, and liquid dye are supplied to the collection and mixing tank 200 through the spray mechanism, the powdered dye supply component, and the liquid dye supply component, respectively, thereby realizing the preparation of the dye solution. The dye solution is transferred to the material receiving equipment through the material transfer mechanism to achieve the supply of dye solution, or the collection and mixing tank 200 can be emptied through the material transfer mechanism to prepare the dye solution again. Before preparing the dye solution again, the spray mechanism can spray and clean the inner wall of the collection and mixing tank 200. The dye mixing and collecting device of this application can be adapted to the mixing ratio of liquid dyes and powdered dyes. It has a high degree of automation and can realize automatic proportioning, feeding and cleaning circulation.

[0027] In this embodiment, one end of the powdered dye supply pipe 120 is connected to the bottom of the powder storage container 150, and the other end is connected to the collecting and mixing tank 200. The suction pump 110 is connected to the middle of the powdered dye supply pipe 120. The suction pump 110 is a device specifically used for suctioning and conveying bulk materials. The suction pump 110 enables the powdered dye in the powder storage container 150 to be conveyed along the powdered dye supply pipe 120. Furthermore, the powder storage container 150 is equipped with a rotary level gauge to monitor when the powder level is too low, thereby enabling timely replenishment of the powdered dye in the powder storage container 150.

[0028] Different colored dyes are required to prepare dye solutions of different colors. To meet the diverse needs of dye solutions, there are multiple liquid dye supply pipes 130. Each liquid dye supply pipe 130 is connected to a filling valve 210. The liquid dye supply pipe 130 is connected to the material mixing tank 200 through the filling valve 210 to achieve the supply of liquid dyes of different colors.

[0029] In this embodiment, the spray pipe 251 extends vertically and passes through the upper end of the aggregate mixing tank 200. The upper end of the spray pipe 251 is located on the outside of the aggregate mixing tank 200 and is connected to the high-pressure water supply device 140. The lower end of the spray pipe 251 is located on the inside of the aggregate mixing tank 200, and the nozzle 252 is located at the lower end of the spray pipe 251. During the dye solution preparation process, dilution water is introduced into the spray pipe 251 through the high-pressure water supply device 140, thereby being transported along the spray pipe 251 to the nozzle 252 for spraying, improving mixing efficiency. The spray cleaning efficiency is even higher when cleaning the inner wall of the aggregate mixing tank 200.

[0030] In this embodiment, the upper part of the aggregate mixing tank 200 is cylindrical, and the lower part is conical (wider at the top and narrower at the bottom) to facilitate fluid flow. The bottom end of the aggregate mixing tank 200 is provided with a discharge port 220. The rotary shape of the aggregate mixing tank 200 avoids corner residue, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and mixing efficiency.

[0031] The spray pipe 251 is movably inserted into the aggregate mixing tank 200. The spraying mechanism also includes a spray driving component, which drives the spray pipe 251 to move up and down relative to the aggregate mixing tank 200, so that the nozzle 252 moves up and down within the aggregate mixing tank 200 to spray at different height positions within the aggregate mixing tank 200. The spray driving component can be a linear drive component such as a cylinder, electric push rod, hydraulic push rod, or lead screw and nut drive assembly.

[0032] In a further embodiment, the nozzle 252 is coaxially rotatably disposed at the lower end of the spray pipe 251, and the nozzle 252 is rotatably and sealingly connected to the spray pipe 251. The nozzle 252 has an eccentrically positioned nozzle. During the cleaning process, high-pressure water is supplied to the nozzle 252 and sprayed out from the nozzle. The eccentrically positioned nozzle causes the recoil force to generate torque on the nozzle 252, causing the nozzle 252 to rotate automatically during the spraying process, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the aggregate mixing tank 200.

[0033] The aggregate mixing tank 200, which is shaped like a rotating body, has a central axis extending vertically, and the spray pipe 251 is arranged along the central axis. Furthermore, during the addition of dilution water, the spray drive component drives the nozzle 252 downwards into the aggregate mixing tank 200 below the liquid surface. The backflow force causes the materials inside the tank to form a vortex, thus achieving mixing and ensuring thorough mixing of the materials.

[0034] In this embodiment, the high-pressure water supply device 140 includes a high-pressure water pump connected to a water source, which supplies water to the spray mechanism. Furthermore, the high-pressure water supply device 140 may also be equipped with a water tank or a diesel pump to prevent water supply disruptions due to water or power outages.

[0035] In some other embodiments, the aggregate mixing tank 200 may be equipped with a stirring mechanism to stir and mix the materials inside the aggregate mixing tank 200. The stirring mechanism may be an existing stirring structure such as a motor-driven stirring paddle, which will not be described in detail here.

[0036] In this embodiment, the nozzle 252 is spherical, and the nozzle is formed in the nozzle 252 by cutting or drilling. A nozzle formed by cutting is generally rectangular and connected to the interior of the nozzle 252, forming a water jet or water curtain when liquid is sprayed out. A nozzle formed by drilling is generally circular and connected to the interior of the nozzle 252, forming a mist or a diffused spray when liquid is sprayed out. The spherical shape of the nozzle 252 prevents powder adhesion, and the cutting or drilling process prevents the nozzle from protruding beyond the outer surface of the nozzle 252, thus avoiding the formation of corners and increased residue.

[0037] To improve the cleaning spray effect, multiple nozzles are used. At least two of the nozzles have their spray axes angled vertically. During the cleaning process, multiple nozzles simultaneously spray cleaning fluid, making the cleaning more comprehensive and thorough.

[0038] In some embodiments, the nozzle is also coaxially disposed at the bottom end of the nozzle 252. The nozzle coaxially disposed at the bottom end does not affect the relative rotation of the nozzle 252 and the spray pipe 251, while being able to spray the area below the nozzle 252.

[0039] The filling valve 210 includes a valve seat 211, a valve core 212, and a filling cylinder 213. The valve seat 211 has a filling valve 210 cavity, the filling valve 210 cavity has a liquid outlet channel 2112, the valve core 212 has a sealing core 2121, and the filling cylinder 213 is used to drive the valve core 212 to move, so that the sealing core 2121 is inserted into or pulled out of the liquid outlet channel 2112 to realize the opening and closing switching of the liquid outlet channel 2112.

[0040] Specifically, refer to the appendix Figure 3 and Figure 4The filling valve 210 has an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end is connected to the liquid dye supply pipe 130, and the outlet end is connected to the inner cavity of the aggregate mixing tank 200. The valve seat 211 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the aggregate mixing tank 200. The outlet end is located at the lower end of the valve seat 211 and passes through the aggregate mixing tank 200. The outlet channel 2112 is located at the outlet end to connect the filling valve 210 cavity and the interior of the aggregate mixing tank 200. The filling cylinder 213 is located on the upper side of the valve seat 211. The piston rod of the filling cylinder 213 is connected to the valve core 212 through a valve rod 214 extending vertically. The upper and lower ends of the valve rod 214 are respectively connected to the filling cylinder 213 and the valve core 212. The liquid inlet is located on the side of the valve seat 211 to avoid obstructing the movement of the valve stem 214 and the valve core 212. The filling cylinder 213 drives the valve core 212 to move up and down, so that the sealing core 2121 is inserted into or pulled out of the liquid outlet channel 2112, thereby realizing the opening and closing switching of the liquid outlet.

[0041] Both the liquid outlet channel 2112 and the sealing core 2121 are cylindrical shapes extending vertically. The upper side of the liquid outlet channel 2112 is provided with an annular conical limiting surface 2113, and the upper side of the sealing core 2121 is provided with a frustum-shaped positioning part 2123. The dimensions of the limiting surface 2113 and the positioning part 2123 are matched, and both the limiting surface 2113 and the positioning part 2123 are conical shapes that are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. When the filling cylinder 213 drives the valve core 212 to press downward, the positioning part 2123 can press against the limiting surface 2113, thereby limiting the valve core 212.

[0042] Furthermore, to adjust the dye injection speed and improve feeding efficiency, the sealing core 2121 is provided with a secondary liquid supply channel 2122 connecting its lower end and side. When the sealing core 2121 is inserted into the liquid outlet channel 2112, the filling cylinder 213 can drive the valve core 212 to move, thereby connecting or disconnecting the secondary liquid supply channel 2122 from the filling valve 210 cavity. Obviously, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the secondary liquid supply channel 2122 is smaller than that of the liquid outlet channel 2112. When the sealing core 2121 is inserted into the liquid outlet channel 2112, it can block and close the liquid outlet channel 2112. At this time, by controlling the insertion depth of the sealing core 2121 in the liquid outlet channel 2112 by the filling cylinder 213, it is possible to control whether the secondary liquid supply channel 2122 is connected to the filling valve 210 cavity. When the secondary liquid supply channel 2122 is connected to the filling valve 210 chamber, low-flow dye injection can be achieved.

[0043] In practical use, the sealing core 2121 is first pulled out of the liquid outlet channel 2112, allowing for a large flow of dye injection. When the dye injection volume approaches the required value, the lower end of the sealing core 2121 is inserted into the liquid outlet channel 2112, while maintaining communication between the secondary liquid supply channel 2122 and the filling valve 210 chamber to achieve a low flow of dye injection. When the dye injection volume reaches the required value, the sealing core 2121 is then fully inserted into the liquid outlet channel 2112, at which point both the liquid outlet channel 2112 and the secondary liquid supply channel 2122 are separated from the filling valve 210 chamber.

[0044] Specifically, the sealing core 2121 has a bottom hole and a side hole on its side. The secondary liquid supply channel 2122 connects the bottom hole and the side hole. The filling cylinder 213 is a double-stroke drive cylinder, which drives the valve core 212 to move between an upper limit position, a middle position, and a lower limit position. The upper limit position, middle position, and lower limit position are arranged sequentially in the vertical direction. When the valve core 212 is in the upper limit position, the sealing core 2121 is completely disengaged from the liquid outlet channel 2112, and the filling valve 210 is in a high-flow-rate open state. When the valve core 212 is in the middle position, the lower end of the sealing core 2121 is inserted into the liquid outlet channel 2112, and the side hole is outside the liquid outlet channel 2112 and thus communicates with the cavity of the filling valve 210, and the filling valve 210 is in a low-flow-rate open state. When the valve core 212 is in the lower limit position, the sealing core 2121 is fully inserted into the liquid outlet channel 2112, the side hole is blocked and closed, and the filling valve 210 is in the closed state.

[0045] The bottom of the aggregate mixing tank 200 is provided with a discharge port 220. The material transfer mechanism includes a discharge pipe 230 connected to the discharge port 220. The discharge pipe 230 is provided with a liquid pump 170 and a Venturi jet 231. The liquid pump 170 has an intake end and a discharge end. The intake end is connected to the discharge port 220, and the discharge end is connected to the Venturi jet 231. The Venturi jet 231 is connected to a high-pressure air source.

[0046] In this embodiment, the discharge pump 170 is a diaphragm pump. The discharge pump 170 changes the pump chamber volume through the reciprocating motion of its flexible diaphragm, thereby achieving fluid intake and discharge, so that the dye solution is transported along the discharge pipe 230. In other embodiments, the discharge pump 170 may also be a peristaltic pump, screw pump, or centrifugal pump, or other similar components.

[0047] Each time a different dye solution is prepared, the discharge pipe 230 needs to be cleaned. Because the cleaning solution delivered by the diaphragm pump flows slowly within the discharge pipe 230, the cleaning effect is limited. The Venturi jet injector 231 is located at the output end of the discharge pump 170. The Venturi jet injector 231 is connected to a high-pressure gas source. The Venturi jet injector 231 is a power unit that operates based on the Venturi effect and the principle of fluid momentum transfer. During the cleaning process, the Venturi jet injector 231 accelerates the slow-flowing cleaning solution into a high-velocity gas-liquid mixture, transforming the laminar flow of the cleaning solution into a turbulent gas-liquid mixture, thereby flushing the discharge pipe 230, greatly reducing residue, and improving the cleaning effect.

[0048] In a further embodiment, the discharge pipe is provided with at least one diversion valve 232 and a waste discharge port at its end. The diversion valve 232 is used to directionally transfer materials to a designated material-requiring device, and the waste discharge port is used to discharge waste materials caused by misoperation or inaccurate batching. The waste discharge port is connected to a waste discharge pipe.

[0049] To facilitate switching between dye supply and waste discharge states at the discharge port 220, the discharge pipe 230 is connected to the receiving equipment or the waste discharge port via a diversion valve 232. During dye supply, the discharge pipe 230 is connected to the receiving equipment via the diversion valve 232, allowing the dye solution to be delivered to the designated receiving equipment. When waste discharge is required, the discharge pipe 230 is connected to the waste discharge pipe 240.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the top of the aggregate mixing tank 200 is provided with a tank opening, and the tank opening is provided with a cover plate 260. The cover plate 260 is disposed at the upper end of the aggregate mixing tank 200 to enclose the internal space of the aggregate mixing tank 200. The cover plate 260 and the aggregate mixing tank 200 are connected by a flexible connection: the bottom of the cover plate 260 is provided with a protrusion extending into the tank opening, and a flexible sealing ring is provided between the protrusion and the inner peripheral wall of the aggregate mixing tank 200.

[0051] The filling valve 210, the powdered dye supply pipe 120, and the spray pipe 251 are installed on the cover plate 260. The valve seat 211 of the filling valve 210 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 260. The end of the powdered dye supply pipe 120 passes through the cover plate 260 and connects to the aggregate mixing tank 200. The spray pipe 251 slides through the cover plate 260. A weighing module 160 is provided between the aggregate mixing tank 200 and the frame 100. The weighing module 160 is used to weigh the aggregate mixing tank 200 and the materials inside it.

[0052] Specifically, refer to the appendix Figure 1The weighing module 160 is located at the bottom of the frame 100, and the aggregate mixing tank 200 is located above the weighing module 160. A limiting plate 180 is provided in the middle of the frame 100, and the limiting plate 180 has a vertically penetrating limiting hole. The middle part of the aggregate mixing tank 200 is movably inserted through the limiting hole in the vertical direction. The powder dye supply pipe 120, the liquid dye supply pipe 130, and the spraying mechanism are all located in the upper part of the frame 100 and connected to the cover plate 260. The limiting plate 180 provides a limit to the aggregate mixing tank 200, preventing it from tipping over and avoiding interference with the weight measurement of the aggregate mixing tank 200.

[0053] A tank support is fixedly provided on the lower side of the aggregate mixing tank 200, and the lower end of the tank support is connected to the weighing module 160, so that the weight of the aggregate mixing tank 200 can be applied to the weighing module 160. The weighing module 160 can use existing weighing elements, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0054] In other embodiments, the powder dye supply pipe 120, the liquid dye supply pipe 130, and the spraying mechanism are all connected to the collecting and mixing tank 200 via flexible hoses, so that the collecting and mixing tank 200 is movably connected to the frame 100 in the vertical direction. The powder dye supply pipe 120, the liquid dye supply pipe 130, and the high-pressure water supply device 140 are all connected to the collecting and mixing tank 200 via flexible hoses, so that the weight of the collecting and mixing tank 200 is not affected.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also provides a method of using the above-mentioned dye mixing collector, comprising: Step S100: Add water to the aggregate mixing tank 200. Weigh the aggregate mixing tank 200 before and after adding water to obtain a first weight value and a second weight value. Calculate the difference between the first weight value and the second weight value to obtain the amount of first dilution water added. Step S200: Add the powdered dye to the aggregate mixing tank 200 according to the preset ratio. Weigh the aggregate mixing tank 200 before and after adding the powdered dye to obtain a third weight value and a fourth weight value respectively.
