Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dyeing machine technology, and in particular to an automatic pH adjustment device for dyes and a dyeing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A dyeing machine is a piece of equipment used in the textile industry, primarily for dyeing textiles. For example... Figure 1 As shown, existing dyeing machines typically include a dyeing machine body 1, a heat exchanger 2 located on one side of the dyeing machine body 1, and a dye tank 3 for storing dye. During operation, the dye in the dye tank 3 is transported through pipes to the heat exchanger 2 for heating, and then transported through pipes to the nozzles inside the dyeing machine body 1. The dye in the dyeing machine body 1 is then circulated back into the dye tank 3 through pipes. During the dyeing process, the concentration of auxiliaries in the dye may change, leading to unstable pH values. Therefore, to ensure stable pH values ​​during the dyeing process, it is necessary to monitor the pH value of the dye and adjust it promptly when instability occurs.

[0003] To this end, Chinese patent document CN109355848B discloses an automatic pH control system for a high-temperature dyeing machine, including a monitoring device and an acid tracking device. The monitoring device includes multiple pipelines, a cooling device, a temperature sensing rod, a storage tank, a pH monitoring probe, and a circulating liquid tank. The cooling device can cool the dye / liquid to ensure the dye temperature does not exceed 25°C, thereby controlling the dye temperature during monitoring. After flowing through the cooling device, the dye is then transported to the storage tank and the circulating liquid tank.

[0004] However, the dyes transported to the circulating liquid tank need to be kept at a certain high temperature when they are reinjected into the dyeing machine. If the dyes transported to the circulating liquid tank are cooled down at the same time, heat energy will inevitably be wasted. In addition, the pH automatic acid control system of the disclosed high-temperature dyeing machine can only perform acid replenishment operation. When the pH value of the dye is too low, it cannot adjust the pH value of the dye to a higher level.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The present application provides a kind of pH value automatic regulating device of dye, including dye vat 3, transition bucket 4, pH value monitoring component 5, heat exchanger 6, liquid return main pipe 7, discharge pipe 41, and with dye vat 3 connection acid liquid storage barrel 8 and be used for the acid liquid from acid liquid storage barrel 8 pumping to dye vat 3 in acid-proof pump 11.

[0044] The dye cylinder 3 is not limited to one, and before starting the dyeing operation, the staff configures the dye required for dyeing the textile and fills the dye cylinder 3. Further, the dye cylinder 3 is provided with a liquid filling pipe 18 at the bottom, which is connected with the heat exchanger 62 matched with the dyeing machine, so that the dye can be transported to the heat exchanger 62 matched with the dyeing machine by the second circulating pump 13 to be heated, and the dye is filled into the nozzle of the dyeing machine body 1 after being heated.

[0045] The transition barrel 4 is fixed above the dye cylinder 3, the discharge pipe 41 is arranged at the bottom of the transition barrel 4 and communicates with the inside of the dye cylinder 3; the pH value monitoring assembly 5 is arranged in the transition barrel 4; the heat exchanger 6 is connected with the transition barrel 4; the liquid return main pipe 7 is connected with the discharge port of the dyeing machine body 1; the liquid return branch pipe 9 is connected with the liquid return main pipe 7, and the inner diameter of the liquid return branch pipe 9 is smaller than that of the liquid return main pipe 7, the liquid return branch pipe 9 penetrates through the heat exchanger 6 and is connected with the transition barrel 4. When the dye in the dyeing machine body 1 is recycled, the dye is discharged from the discharge port of the dyeing machine body 1 and enters the liquid return main pipe 7. Since the liquid return main pipe 7 is connected with the liquid return branch pipe 9, when the dye enters the liquid return main pipe 7, it will be divided into two paths, one path is transported to the dye cylinder 3 by the liquid return main pipe, and the other path is transported to the transition barrel 4 by the liquid return branch pipe 9 after being cooled by the heat exchanger 6, and is monitored by the pH value monitoring assembly 5. It can be seen that by arranging the heat exchanger 6 on the liquid return branch pipe 9, the dye does not need to be cooled by the heat exchanger 6, so that part of the heat loss can be reduced, and the dye in the dye cylinder 3 can still carry a high heat to the heat exchanger 6 matched with the dyeing machine, so that the energy consumption of the heat exchanger 6 matched with the dyeing machine can be reduced when the dye in the dye cylinder 3 is transported to the heat exchanger 6 matched with the dyeing machine again.

[0046] Further, in the utility model, the inner diameter of the liquid return branch pipe 9 is smaller than that of the liquid return main pipe 7, so that the amount of dye transported to the transition barrel 4 through the liquid return branch pipe 9 is small, thereby further reducing the heat damage.

The lye storage barrel 10 is connected with the dye cylinder 3, and sodium carbonate lye can be stored in the lye storage barrel 10; and the alkali-resistant pump 12 is used for pumping the lye from the lye storage barrel 10 to the dye cylinder 3, so that when the pH value monitoring assembly 5 monitors that the pH value of the dye is low, the pH value of the dye can be made to be high by pumping the lye into the dye cylinder 3.

Optionally, the outlet pipe 55 is in the shape of inverted L, and the outlet of the outlet pipe 55 is located in the transition barrel 4. During actual monitoring, after the dye enters the flow channel 52 from the inlet pipe 54, the dye can slowly flow upward, be monitored by the pH monitoring electrode 53, and then be discharged into the transition barrel 4 through the outlet pipe 55. The arrangement that the outlet pipe 55 is higher than the inlet pipe 54 ensures that the flow rate of the dye in the flow channel 52 is not too fast, so as to ensure the accuracy of the pH monitoring of the dye by the pH monitoring electrode 53.

[0052] Preferably, the dye vat 3 is provided with a stirring assembly 15. The stirring assembly 15 comprises a driving electrode, a stirring rod and blades arranged on the stirring rod.

[0055] When the pH value monitoring assembly 5 monitors that the pH value of the dye deviates from the pH value range required by the dyeing process, the controller (which can be a PLC controller) compares the monitored pH value of the dye with the pH value required by the dyeing process, and judges whether to add acid or alkali to the dye vat through the program. Through the monitoring of the weight sensor 83, the weight of the added alkali or acid when the pH value of the dye returns to the pH value range required by the dyeing process can be obtained, so that the production can be guided, so as to automatically control the addition amount of the acid or alkali by the program.

[0056] Preferably, the lower side of the barrel body 81 is provided with an observation window 86, so as to facilitate the staff to observe whether the acid or alkali needs to be added to the inside of the barrel body 81.
