[0001] The utility model relates to a heating device, in particular to a dye coloring and fixing device capable of heating the dye on an article. Background Art

[0002] An existing dye fixing device is used to heat and dry the dye on an article for coloring and fixing. The dye fixing device includes a body and a heating element disposed on the body. The body has a heating space for the article to pass through. The heating element is used to blow hot air into the heating space to heat and dry the dye on the article.

[0003] For example, if the article is yarn, the article needs to be heated to about 100 degrees Celsius during the fixing process. Specifically, different types of yarns require different heating temperatures. Among them, polyester fibers are about 140 to 210 degrees Celsius, nylon is about 100 to 120 degrees Celsius, and cotton yarn is about 80 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the dye fixing device consumes a lot of energy when the heating element is heating. In addition, the dye on the article will be released into the air after heating, causing pollution to the inside of the body and the article. As a result, the dye fixing device needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly, and the maintenance cost is relatively high. Summary of the Utility Model

[0030] 7: Article 71: Yarn DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0031] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1 AndFigure 2 , an embodiment of the dye coloring and fixing device of the present utility model is used to heat and fix an article 7 stained with dye. In this embodiment, the article 7 includes a plurality of yarns 71. The yarn 71 is wound around a yarn outlet roller (not shown in the figure) and the yarn is discharged through the rotation of the yarn outlet roller. After being dyed by a coloring device (not shown in the figure), the yarn 71 enters the dye coloring and fixing device for heating and fixing, and then is output to a yarn receiving roller (not shown in the figure) for winding and receiving the yarn.

[0033] The dye coloring and fixing device includes a drying device 10 and a fixing device 20 located downstream of the drying device 10. The drying device 10 has a machine base 1 and a drying unit 2. The machine base 1 has a drying space 11 for the yarn 71 to pass through.

[0034] The drying unit 2 is arranged on the machine base 1 and is used to heat the yarn 71 in the drying space 11 to dry the dye on the yarn 71.

[0035] The drying unit 2 includes a plurality of fans 21 arranged on the machine base 1 and located above the drying space 11, and an electric heating tube 22 arranged on the machine base 1 and located between the drying space 11 and the fans 21. The electric heating tube 22 of the drying unit 2 is used to heat the air flow blown from the fans 21 of the drying unit 2 to the drying space 11. The temperature of the hot air output by the drying unit 2 is about between 60 and 180 degrees Celsius. The drying unit 2 is used to dry the dye on the yarn 71, so that the dye on the yarn 71 will not adhere to the subsequent contacting conveying mechanism. In other variant embodiments of this embodiment, the drying unit 2 can also heat and dry the dye on the yarn 71 by means of thermal radiation or microwave, and is not limited thereto.

[0036] The fixing device 20 includes a body unit 3, a heating unit 4, a yarn separating unit 5, and a circulation unit 6.

[0037] The body unit 3 has a heating space 31 for the yarn 71 to pass through, an air outlet 32 located below the heating space 31, and an air outlet 33 located above the heating space 31. A plurality of vertically extending tracks 34 are formed on the body unit 3.

[0038] The heating unit 4 is disposed in the body unit 3 and is located between the heating space 31 and the air outlet 33. The heating unit 4 is used to heat the hot air output to the heating space 31 by the yarn 71. The heating unit 4 has a plurality of fans 41 disposed below the air outlet 33, and a heating tube 42 disposed between the fans 41 and the heating space 31. The heating tube 42 of the heating unit 4 is used to heat the air flow blown from the fans 41 of the heating unit 4 to the heating space 31. The temperature of the hot air output by the heating unit 4 is approximately between 80 and 210 degrees Celsius. The heating unit 4 is used to heat the dye on the yarn 71, so that the dye firmly adheres to the yarn 71 and develops color.

[0039] Specifically, the temperatures required for heating different types of yarns also vary. Among them, polyester fibers are about 140 to 210 degrees Celsius, nylon is about 100 to 120 degrees Celsius, and cotton yarn is about 80 degrees Celsius.

[0040] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the yarn separating unit 5 has a plurality of first yarn separating rollers 51 rotatably disposed in the heating space 31, a plurality of second yarn separating rollers 52 rotatably disposed in the heating space 31 and alternately arranged with the first yarn separating rollers 51, a base 53 disposed on the body unit 3 for the second yarn separating rollers 52 to be disposed thereon, a plurality of lifting members 54 disposed on the body unit 3 and capable of driving the base 53 to move up and down, a synchronous belt 55 wound around the first yarn separating rollers 51, a drive motor 56 disposed on the body unit 3, and a controller 57 electrically connected to the drive motor 56.

[0041] Each of the first yarn separating rollers 51 has a plurality of annular grooves 511 for the yarn 71 to be wound thereon at intervals.

[0042] The structure of each of the second yarn separating rollers 52 is the same as that of any of the first yarn separating rollers 51. Each of the second yarn separating rollers 52 has a plurality of annular grooves 521 for the yarn 71 to be wound thereon at intervals. The second yarn separating rollers 52 are movably disposed on the body unit 3. Specifically, the second yarn separating rollers 52 are respectively movably disposed on the rails 34. Each of the lifting members 54 has a screw motor 541 disposed on the body unit 3, and a screw 542 disposed between the screw motor 541 and the base 53. The screw motor 541 can drive the screw 542 to move up and down, so that the screw 542 drives the base 53 to move up and down, and the base 53 drives the second yarn separating rollers 52 to move up and down relative to the first yarn separating rollers 51. It should be noted that in other variant embodiments of the present embodiment, the number and type of the lifting members 54 are not limited, and the lifting member 54 can also be a single piston device to control the lifting of the base 53.

[0043] The driving motor 56 drives one of the first yarn dividing rollers 51 to rotate through a transmission belt (not shown in the figure). When one of the first yarn dividing rollers 51 rotates, it drives the remaining first yarn dividing rollers 51 to rotate through the synchronous belt 55.

[0044] The controller 57 is used to receive a conveying speed. The conveying speed is the moving speed of the yarn 71. The controller 57 can control the rotation speed of the driving motor 56 according to the conveying speed, so that the first yarn dividing roller 51 rotates in cooperation with the moving speed of the yarn 71, keeping the tension of the yarn 71 stable and reducing the risk of yarn breakage. The controller 57 can receive the conveying speed from a sensor (not shown in the figure) disposed on the yarn output roller or the yarn winding roller. In this embodiment, the controller 57 is a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).

[0045] The circulation unit 6 has a circulation pipeline 61 disposed outside the body unit 3, a blower 62 disposed on the circulation pipeline 61, and a filter 63 disposed between the air outlet 32 and the heating space 31. Two opposite ends of the circulation pipeline 61 are respectively communicated with the air outlet 32 and the air outlet 33. The blower 62 is used to sequentially convey the gas in the heating space 31 to the air outlet 33 through the filter 63, the air outlet 32 and the circulation pipeline 61. The filter 63 can be a filter screen or an exhaust gas treatment device.

[0046] In summary, the advantages of the dye coloring and fixing device of the yarn dyeing system of the present utility model are described as follows.

[0047] 1. By guiding the hot air filtered by the filter 63 from the air outlet 32 back to the air outlet 33 through the circulation pipeline 61 by the blower 62, the air outlet temperature of the air outlet 33 can be maintained, and the heating energy consumption of the heating tube 42 of the heating unit 4 can be reduced. Moreover, by filtering the gas in the heating space 31 through the filter 63, it can be avoided that the dye on the yarn 71 is released into the air and then contaminates the body unit 3, the first yarn dividing roller 51 or the second yarn dividing roller 52, facilitating the maintenance of the heating space 31 and reducing the frequency of cleaning and maintenance. When the yarn 71 is respectively stained with dyes of different colors, it can also be avoided that the released dye contaminates other yarns 71, causing cross-contamination problems.

[0048] 2. By separating and supporting the yarn 71 through the annular groove 511 of the first yarn dividing roller 51 and the annular groove 521 of the second yarn dividing roller 52, and conveying the yarn 71 in a rotating manner by the first yarn dividing roller 51 and the second yarn dividing roller 52, synchronous power can be given to the yarn 71, avoiding friction between the yarn 71 and the first yarn dividing roller 51 and the second yarn dividing roller 52 during the conveying process of the yarn 71, keeping the tension of the yarn 71 uniform and stable, and reducing the risk of yarn breakage.

[0049] III. By winding the yarn 71 around the first yarn dividing roller 51 and the second yarn dividing roller 52 for conveying, the yarn 71 can be wound up and down in a three-dimensional path, so that the movement path of the yarn 71 can be extended in a fixed-size space, effectively saving the space of the machine body unit 3 and increasing the time that the yarn 71 stays in the heating space 31, thereby enhancing the color fixation and hair color effects.

[0050] IV. By driving the second yarn dividing roller 52 to move up and down through the lifting member 54, the extension length of the yarn 71 in the heating space 31 can be adjusted, and the residence time of the yarn 71 in the heating space 31 can be controlled according to the heating time required for the yarn 71 of different materials. In addition, by adjusting the second yarn dividing roller 52 to be close to the first yarn dividing roller 51, it is also convenient for the user to remove or set the yarn 71 on the first yarn dividing roller 51 and the second yarn dividing roller 52.

[0051] V. By controlling the driving motor 56 to rotate in cooperation with the moving speed of the yarn 71 through the controller 57, and driving the first yarn dividing roller 51 to rotate together through the synchronous belt 55, the first yarn dividing roller 51 can rotate in cooperation with the conveying speed of the yarn 71. Compared with relying on the yarn 71 to drive the first yarn dividing roller 51 to rotate, the tension of the yarn 71 can be kept uniform and stable, reducing the risk of yarn breakage.

[0052] VI. Before the yarn 71 enters the color fixation device 20, by first heating and drying the dye on the yarn 71 through the drying device 10, it can be avoided that the dye on the yarn 71 contaminates and transfers to the first yarn dividing roller 51 and the second yarn dividing roller 52, causing the yarn 71 to fade or pollute the first yarn dividing roller 51 and the second yarn dividing roller 52, and it can also avoid cross-contamination of the subsequent yarn 71 entering the color fixation device 20, so as to improve the quality of hair color and color fixation.

[0053] The above embodiments only represent one implementation manner of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
