TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a continuous steamer for developing the colour of printed or dyed fabrics. BACKGROUND
[0002] It is known in the relevant art that continuous steamers for developing the colour of printed or dyed fabrics, such as for example JP S59 189895 U.
[0003] The continuous steamer comprises a closed treatment chamber, which comprises inside it first continuous conveying means adapted to mount a plurality of cylindrical supports, called rods, adapted to support the lap-folded fabric, which is exposed to steam inside the treatment chamber, so as to develop the colour of the printed or dyed fabric.
[0004] The most advanced continuous steamers comprise a cooling system, which is operated manually by the operator or automatically by various types of controllers. The most common manual regulation system is the opening of suction ducts to inject fresh air from the surrounding environment into the machine and the regulation of the opening and closing of suction flow regulation dampers of the steam containment system. In fact, these systems control the pressure level of the treatment chamber, which decreases if the opening of the dampers increases, thus ensuring a greater entry of fresh air into the treatment chamber.
[0005] On the other hand, in the field of automatic controls, the Applicant's Italian Utility Model Patent No. 0000265968 describes a continuous steamer comprising means for controlling the temperature of the treatment chamber.
[0006] The treatment chamber comprises a plurality of steam generation chambers, each of which comprises at least one fan. Each steam generation chamber is in communication with the treatment chamber through a plurality of slits. The steam generation chamber comprises at least one steam generator, said at least one fan, a water injection nozzle and suction means which convey the steam towards the injection nozzle. Each steam generation chamber also comprises a duct which can be opened by means of a valve, which is adapted to switch from a closed configuration to an open configuration, in which said duct puts the outside of the machine in fluid communication with the inside of the steam generation chamber. The treatment chamber comprises a temperature probe mounted inside it and connected to a command system. The command system commands the opening or closing of the valve or of the nozzle of the steam generation chamber, based on the temperature measured by the sensor, so as to keep the temperature inside the treatment chamber as constant as possible, in order to prevent sudden temperature variations during the steam treatment, since the fixing of the colour on the fabric would cause a sudden exothermic reaction, which would cause a rapid increase in the temperature of the treatment chamber.
[0007] Unfortunately, sudden changes in the temperature inside the treatment chamber can damage the uniformity of the color of the fabric, since the color adheres to the fabric in a non-uniform manner at different temperatures.
[0008] Unfortunately, the most advanced continuous steamer requires a large amount of water, steam and energy to maintain a constant temperature inside the treatment chamber.
[0009] Unfortunately, the injection nozzles of the continuous steamer consume a large amount of water, thus causing an increase in consumption, since the water drop size of the injection nozzles is reduced by increasing the water pressure entering the injection nozzles or by using atomizer nozzles, which have a lower consumption, atomizer nozzles increase the speed of the fluid leaving by crushing the liquid drops into smaller amounts using air, thus being more efficient for conversion into steam. Unfortunately, these drop reduction systems are not used without limits in the post-printing steam treatment field. In fact, in order to properly treat certain chemicals, the introduction of air must be avoided, thus increasing the operating burden, in addition to the waste of water.
[0010] Unfortunately, the most advanced continuous steamer wastes a large amount of saturated steam from inside the steam chamber, since the size of the suction channels near the slits at the entrance and exit of the fabric in the treatment chamber is oversized for safety reasons and sucks more saturated steam from the treatment chamber than is required, thus wasting steam and energy. SUMMARY
[0011] It is an object of the present invention to realize a continuous steamer for developing the color of printed and dyed fabrics, which is capable of maintaining a constant temperature inside the treatment chamber during the entire color fixation treatment, thus developing the color uniformly in all parts of the fabric, in order to save water, steam and energy.

[0030] The features and advantages of the present application will become more apparent from the following description in which, by way of non-limiting example: Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a continuous steamer according to the present application; Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view along line II-II of 1; Figure 3 is an enlarged view of detail A of Figure 1 Figure 4 is an enlarged view of detail A of Figure 1 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] With reference to the drawings, a continuous steamer 100 for the color development of printed or dyed fabrics is shown, which comprises a closed treatment chamber 150.
[0032] The treatment chamber 150 comprises inside it a continuous first conveying means 130, which is adapted to mount a plurality of cylindrical supports, called rods 30, which are adapted to support the folded fabric.
[0033] With particular reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the machine 100 comprises at least one steam generation chamber 10 in fluid communication with the treatment chamber 150.
[0034] Preferably, as shown in Figure 2 two steam generating chambers 10 are provided arranged laterally with respect to the treatment chamber 150.
[0035] The steam generating chamber 10 comprises a steam generator 50 and at least one circulation fan 60.
[0036] The steam generator 50 is connected to a steam feeding device 51 which delivers steam to the steam generator 50. The steam generator 50 inputs steam inside the steam generating chamber 10.
[0037] The machine 100 comprises an on-line humidifier having a tube device 51, wherein the on-line humidifier is a water vaporization nozzle which engages with the steam feeding device 51 and injects water inside the steam feeding device 51.
[0038] The water vaporization nozzle comprises an actuator 85 connected to the control electronic system. The actuator 85 of the water vaporization nozzle is adapted to switch from a closed configuration, in which the actuator 85 weaves water into the steam feeding device 51, to an open state, in which the actuator 85 allows water to enter the steam feeding device 51.
[0039] Advantageously, when the control electronic system switches the actuator 85 of the water vaporization nozzle to the open configuration, the mixture of water present in the duct of the steam feeding device 51 with the saturated steam is activated. The water in suspension, after mixing with the steam, is heated and thus generates new high-quality steam molecules which are then distributed inside the treatment chamber 150, ensuring better humidity, higher color development on the fabric, and lower over-elongation of the temperature detected on the fabric and in the treatment chamber 150. High quality means high concentration of steam.
[0040] Preferably, the steam generating chamber 10 comprises a plurality of circulation fans 60 for distributing the steam uniformly inside the treatment chamber 150 and inside the steam generating chamber 10. For example, Figure 1 two circulation fans 60 are shown in
[0041] The steam generating chamber 10 inputs steam into the treatment chamber 150 which is dispersed by the circulation fans 60 between the laps of printed or dyed fabric, thus causing the color of the printed or dyed fabric to appear by contact with the steam.
[0042] The circulation fans 60 face the inside of the treatment chamber 150, thus contributing to the circulation of the steam between the laps of fabric.
[0043] The steam generation chamber 10 is in steam fluid communication with the treatment chamber 150 by means of a plurality of through-slots (not highlighted in the figures). These through-slots are formed on the partition wall 15 located between the treatment chamber 150 and the steam generation chamber 10.
[0044] Preferably, the through-slots are arranged in the front part of the circulation fan 60 and in the upper part of the steam generation chamber 10 facing the treatment chamber 150.
[0045] The steam present in the treatment chamber 150, when soaked by the residues of the fabric colorant, is sucked from the treatment chamber 150 by means of at least one suction device 170 of the machine 100 and is discharged from the continuous steamer 100.
[0046] Preferably, the circulation fan 60 is arranged above the steam generator 50, that is to say, the steam generator 50 is arranged at a lower height than the circulation fan 60.
[0047] The steam generation chamber 10 comprises an atomizer nozzle 70 of the mixture of water and steam, which is connected to the water supply hydraulic circuit of the machine 100. The atomizer nozzle 70 is adapted to switch from an open configuration, in which it outputs water mixed with steam inside the steam generation chamber 10, to a closed condition, in which it is blocked, that is to say, it does not output water mixed with steam.
[0048] Preferably, the atomizer nozzle 70 is arranged inside the steam generation chamber 10 at a higher position than the circulation fan 60.
[0049] The circulation fan 60 is adapted to convey the steam produced by the steam generator 50 towards the atomizer nozzle 70.
[0050] Advantageously, the atomizer nozzle 70 is used to regulate the treatment temperature inside the treatment chamber 150.
[0051] Advantageously, the water consumption of the atomizer nozzle 70 is reduced, thus increasing the efficiency of the heat exchange between the water input and the steam present in the chambers 10, 150 of the machine 100, the water jet is more efficient based on the fact that the atomizer nozzle 70 makes it easier to vaporize the droplets produced, different methods of cooling the treatment chamber 150 are implemented.
[0052] The device that brings the water to the atomizer nozzle 70 is connected to the steam feed device 51 for pushing steam into the water of the atomizer nozzle 70.
[0053] The atomizer nozzle 70 advantageously reduces the amount of water since it uses push steam from the steam supply 51 to atomize the water droplets, instead of using a push fluid as in the related art. Using steam as water propellant for the atomizer nozzle 70 enables to obtain in the jet much finer droplets very similar to air, and wherein with this innovation the jet can reach higher temperatures than water alone.
[0054] Advantageously, the water droplets mixed with steam are sprayed by the atomizer nozzle 70, so that these droplets become steam faster, and therefore mix faster with the hot steam output by the steam generator 50.
[0055] Advantageously, the input of water mixed with steam by the atomizer nozzle 70 allows to obtain a higher efficiency of the machine 100 and a reduced number of interventions needed for cooling the treatment chamber 150.
[0056] Preferably, the steam generation chamber 10 comprises a duct 80 formed in the containment wall 110 of the steam generation chamber 10, wherein said containment wall 110 separates the steam generation chamber 10 from the outside of the machine 100.
[0057] The duct 80 comprises an actuator 90 adapted to switch from a closed configuration, in which the duct 80 is in fluid communication only with the steam generation chamber 10, to an open configuration, in which the duct 80 is also in fluid communication with the outside of the machine.
[0058] Preferably, the actuator 90 is a high-temperature resistant butterfly valve.
[0059] By high-temperature it is meant a temperature of steam equal to or higher than 100 degrees Celsius, in particular up to at least 180 degrees Celsius.
[0060] Preferably, both the duct 80 and the atomizer nozzle 70 are positioned near the circulation fan 60 inside the steam generation chamber 10, so that the air flow from the duct 80 and the water flow from the atomizer nozzle 70 are properly mixed with the steam produced by the steam generator 50.
[0061] Advantageously, the circulation fan 60 allows the steam to be distributed as uniformly as possible inside the treatment chamber 150 and inside the steam generation chamber 10.
[0062] The treatment chamber 150 comprises a temperature sensor (not shown in the figures) installed inside the treatment chamber 150 and connected to a control electronic system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory.
[0063] The actuator 90, the atomizer nozzle 70, and the actuator 85 of the water vaporization nozzle are connected to the control electronic system.
[0064] The control electronics system controls the opening or closing of the actuator 90, the opening or closing of the atomizer nozzle 70 and the opening or closing of the water vaporization nozzle 85, respectively, based on the temperature measured by the temperature sensor, with the aim of keeping the temperature inside the treatment chamber 150 constant, in order to prevent sudden temperature variations during the steam treatment, since the color adhesion on the fabric would trigger a sudden exothermic reaction, which tends to rapidly increase the temperature of the steam inside the treatment chamber 150.
[0065] If the temperature measured by the sensor is lower than a first predetermined threshold value regarding the optimal adhesion of the color to the fabric inside the treatment chamber 150, the control electronics system switches the atomizer nozzle 70 into the open configuration for spraying or sprinkling water inside the steam generation chamber 10.
[0066] If the temperature measured by the sensor is higher than a second predetermined threshold value regarding the optimal adhesion of the color to the fabric inside the treatment chamber 150, the control electronics system switches the actuator 90 and the actuator 85 of the atomizer nozzle into the open configuration, so that the humid air from outside the machine 100 can be introduced into the steam generation chamber 10 for increasing the humidity and reducing the temperature.
[0067] Preferably, the control electronics system is able to actuate the atomizer nozzle 70 and the actuators 85, 90 in the same time period.
[0068] Preferably, the control electronics system operates by proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control.
[0069] Furthermore, the control electronics system is connected with the suction motor of said at least one extractor 170 for controlling the suction rate of the saturated steam from inside the treatment chamber 150 towards the outside.
[0070] With particular reference to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the machine 100 comprises an entry slot 151 and an exit slot 152. The slots 151, 152 are sized to allow the fabric to enter the chamber 150 and to exit from the chamber 150.
[0071] As shown in Figure 3 , a temperature and / or steam leakage sensor 16 is mounted to the inlet of the entry slot 151 and is connected with the control electronics system.
[0072] As shown in Figure 4 , a temperature and / or steam leakage sensor 17 is mounted to the outlet of the exit slot 152 and is connected with the control electronics system.
[0073] In particular, the inlet of the entry slot 151 and the outlet of the exit slot 152 comprise, respectively, a system of suction channels 171, 172 connected to at least one said extractor 170.
[0074] Preferably, each suction channel 171, 172 comprises an extractor (not shown in the figures) so as to advantageously increase the containment of the fluids and vapors in the treatment chamber 150.
[0075] The control electronics system is connected to the extractors of the suction channels 171, 172 and regulates the suction rate of the two extractors as a function of the temperature detected by the respective temperature sensors 16 and 17.
[0076] Preferably, the suction rate of each extractor present in the channels 171 and 172 is regulated by the control electronics system by acting on the rotation speed of the suction fan of the respective extractor.
[0077] In order for the sensors 16, 17 to operate correctly, in particular, the positioning of the sensors 16, 17 is crucial and must be able to detect the temperature of the layer of the mixture sucked into the two channels 171 and 172.
[0078] In the case where the temperature of the vapor mixture measured by the sensors 16 and 17 is increasing (and / or greater than a predetermined temperature), the control electronics system then commands an increase in the suction rate of the extractors.
[0079] In the case where the temperature of the vapor mixture measured by the sensors 16 and 17 is decreasing or lower than a predetermined temperature, the control electronics system then commands a decrease in the suction rate.
[0080] Advantageously, by acting on the rate of the extractors of the suction channels 171 and 172 based on the temperature measured by the sensors 16 and 17 and then regulating the suction flow of the extractors, an optimal and repeatable balancing of the fabric treatment inside the treatment chamber 150 is obtained.
[0081] In particular, the extractor located in the suction channel 171 of entry and the extractor located in the suction channel 172 of exit adopt the same control principle, but have different appropriate responses as a function of what is detected by the respective sensors 16 and 17. In fact, the rate of each of the two extractors present in the suction channels 171 and 172 can be regulated independently.
[0082] Advantageously, the management in response to the detected temperature ensures that the machine 100 is not subjected to excessive suction due to possible pressures from other controls.
[0083] Advantageously, the ideal condition for reducing consumption and output is to keep the pressure of the treatment chamber 150 at a constant level.
[0084] Advantageously, since the treatment chamber 150 is closed, variations in the input of steam or water cause variations in the pressure inside the treatment chamber 150, which in turn cause variations in the suction rate of the suction devices present in the suction channels 171 and 172 and of the at least one suction device 170.
[0085] Advantageously, the quantity of water and steam input into the machine 100 is saved.
[0086] Advantageously, the control electronics system is controlled by procedures saved in a program for an electronic computer which implements the above-described procedures for operating the machine 100. In particular, the control electronics system is an electronic computer.
[0087] Advantageously, the present machine 100 ensures that the temperature of the mixture being sucked is maintained, with the final result of keeping the machine 100 under the same conditions as the treatment for attaching the colour to the fabric, but with a much lower burden and consumption than machines of the related art.
[0088] The automatic opening and closing of the machine 100 can also benefit from the control of the control electronics system, in fact, during the opening sequence of the machine 100, it is possible to specify a higher flow of steam than that required for the treatment of the fabric, in this way the machine 100 has a shorter heating period and does not require any manual intervention to readjust the suction devices; conversely, during the automatic closing, it is possible to increase the suction to ensure faster emptying of the treatment chamber 150 of the machine 100 and this operation also does not require any manual intervention to be completed.
[0089] Advantageously, the continuous steamer 100 according to the present application allows the temperature inside the treatment chamber 150 to be kept constant during the entire colour attachment treatment, thus allowing all the parts of the fabric to colour uniformly, saving water, steam and energy.
[0090] Advantageously, the continuous steamer 100 allows the fixing treatment of the fabric to be repeated while keeping the temperature constant in the treatment chamber 150, thus making the treatment repeatable, optimal and efficient.
[0091] Advantageously, the machine 100 reduces the quantity of water used for cooling purposes and, since the steam quality inside the chambers 10, 150 is higher, the steam extracted from the steam feeding device 51 for completing the colour development on the fabric is reduced compared to systems of the related art.
[0092] Alternatively, the through slot is distributed according to the different geometry between the steam generation chamber 10 and the treatment chamber 150, so the through slot is not necessarily arranged in the upper portion of the steam generation chamber 10.
[0093] Alternatively, the suction channel system 171, 172 is connected with a single suction 170 which suctions the vapour from both the inlet of the entry slot 151 and the outlet of the exit slot 152 of the treatment chamber 150.
