Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garter dyeing machine technology, and in particular to a garter dyeing machine with a flow guiding function. Background Technology

[0002] Nylon 6 is a chemical fiber with excellent breaking strength, abrasion resistance, and soft hand feel. It is one of the most commonly used raw materials for clothing fabrics. After spinning, various indicators of the fiber need to be tested.

[0003] Dyeing performance testing is one of the important steps. The usual testing method is to sample the yarn from each spool of yarn after it has been spun. Each spool of yarn is spun into a small section of garter belt, and multiple garter belts are tied into a complete loop. Often, hundreds of spools of yarn are spun on the same garter belt, and the total length of the garter belt can be more than 10 meters. This very long garter belt is then placed into a dyeing machine, where it is circulated and dyed to determine the dyeing condition of the yarn.

[0004] The existing dyeing machine has only one short power pipe for circulating the garter belts, with the majority of the belts scattered throughout the dyeing cylinder. This makes the belts prone to tangling and clogging the pipe opening, especially when the fibers are coarse denier (100D or higher). The resulting belts are even thicker and more susceptible to blockage, hindering the dyeing process, affecting dyeing uniformity, and causing inaccurate dyeing results. When the garter belts are placed in the dyeing machine, they easily become knotted and clog the pipes, requiring continuous monitoring and frequent unclogging of the belt flow.

[0005] Based on this, this utility model designs a garter dyeing machine that can guide flow, in order to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a garter dyeing machine that can guide the flow of garter belts. By using guide cylinders to guide the flow of long garter belts, the dyeing process is less prone to tangling, and a flow guide loop is formed for the garter belts, making the flow of garter belts smoother. Furthermore, this device intermittently sets multiple guide cylinders to guide the garter belts, creating gaps between adjacent guide cylinders, which can prevent the garter belts from being blocked and ensure uniform dyeing.

[0007] This invention is achieved as follows: a garter belt dyeing machine capable of guiding flow, comprising:

[0008] Dyeing box, flow guide tube, hanging tube, and overflow pipe;

[0009] The dyeing box is a closed box with an opening at the top, and a heating plate is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the dyeing box;

[0010] The hanging tube is a straight tube, and the hanging tube is fixed inside the dyeing box with the front higher than the back. The rear end of the hanging tube is also connected to a downward-opening curved tube.

[0011] A drive tube is also provided at the bottom front end of the strap tube;

[0012] The guide tube is a straight tube with openings at both ends. A locking rod is provided at the lower end of the guide tube. The axis of the inner hole of the guide tube is perpendicular to the axis of the locking rod. Multiple guide tubes can be detachably inserted into the top of the heating plate through the locking rod.

[0013] Multiple guide tubes are positioned at the same height, and the inner bore axes of each guide tube coincide. Furthermore, each guide tube and the hanging tube are parallel to each other in the same vertical plane, and each guide tube does not contact the others.

[0014] The overflow pipe is a straight pipe, which is vertically installed inside the dyeing box. The upper opening of the overflow pipe is located at the height between the guide tube and the hanging tube. A water inlet platform is installed at the bottom of the overflow pipe. The lower port of the overflow pipe and the water inlet platform are connected to an external dyeing agent storage tank through separate pipelines.

[0015] A sensor is also installed at the upper end of the overflow pipe, and both the sensor and the heating plate are connected to the controller of the dyeing box.

[0016] Furthermore, the heating plate is a flat plate, and an electric heating wire is provided inside the heating plate. The heating plate is sealed and fitted into the bottom of the inner cavity of the dyeing box.

[0017] The heating plate has multiple mounting slots on its top. Each mounting slot is a groove with an open top and sealed bottom and sides. The locking rod is inserted into the mounting slot without rotating via a quick-connect connector.

[0018] Furthermore, the guide tubes are horizontally arranged, and the horizontal distance between two adjacent guide tubes is between 5 and 10 cm;

[0019] The guide tube is provided with guide ports at both ends, and the guide ports are funnel-shaped openings;

[0020] The diameter of the outer opening of the guide port is larger than the inner diameter of the guide tube.

[0021] Furthermore, both the guide tube and the hanging tube are round tubes with smooth inner walls;

[0022] Furthermore, the angle α between the hanging tube and the horizontal plane does not exceed 20°.

[0023] Furthermore, the sensor includes a temperature sensor and a liquid level sensor, which are located on the top sidewall of the overflow pipe.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This device adds multiple guide tubes, which form intermittent straight tubes and are located below the hanging tube, thereby forming a loop in the vertical direction of the garter belt, so that the garter belt is pre-guided and the garter belt is less likely to tangle by guiding the direction of travel of the garter belt.

[0025] 2. This device adds a heating plate, which makes the dyeing agent inside the dyeing box more evenly heated. The heating plate has a wide coverage area and is evenly distributed. It is located below the garter belt guide and directly heats the dyeing agent in the path of the garter belt, effectively ensuring that the temperature of the dyeing agent in the garter belt reaches the required level, thus guaranteeing uniform dyeing.

[0026] 3. This device also includes an overflow pipe and a water inlet platform. By overflowing from the top and inletting water from the bottom, the dyeing agent is kept at a stable liquid level. New dyeing agent enters from the bottom of the dyeing tank, which creates a circulation of dyeing agent, prevents dyeing agent sedimentation, and also makes the dyeing agent more fluid.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model provides a garter belt dyeing machine that can guide flow. In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] In a specific embodiment of the technical solution of this utility model:

[0038] It includes a dyeing box 1, a guide tube 2, a hanging tube 3, and an overflow pipe 4;

[0039] The dyeing box 1 is a closed box with an opening at the top. A heating plate 11 is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the dyeing box 1. The heating plate 11 is a flat plate with an electric heating wire inside. The heating plate 11 is sealed and fitted into the bottom of the inner cavity of the dyeing box 1.

[0040] The heating plate 11 has multiple mounting slots 12 on its top. Each mounting slot 12 is a groove with an open top and sealed bottom and sides. The locking rod 21 is inserted into the mounting slot 12 without rotating via a quick-connect fitting. The mounting slot 12 can be a countersunk hexagonal hole. The lower end of the locking rod 21 can be a hexagonal straight rod. The locking rod 21 and the mounting slot 12 can be fitted together. An insertion depth of 3cm is sufficient to ensure that the locking rod 21 is stably inserted and cannot be dislodged, and remains stable without rotating.

[0041] The hanging tube 3 is a straight tube, and the hanging tube 3 is fixed inside the dyeing box 1 with the front higher than the back. The angle α between the hanging tube 3 and the horizontal plane does not exceed 20°, forming an inclined structure. This can not only prevent the dye from accumulating in the hanging tube 3, but also facilitate the backward flow of the gaiters, making the gaiters flow more smoothly.

[0042] The rear end of the strap tube 3 is also connected to a downward-opening bend, which usually only requires one bend.

[0043] A drive tube 31 is also provided at the bottom front end of the hanging tube 3. The fluid inside the hanging tube 3 is sprayed backward or agitated by the dyeing agent through the drive tube 31, thereby driving the dyeing machine to flow from front to back in the hanging tube 3, and also causing the garter belts to follow the drift and rotate. The drive tube 31 is a common structure for garter belt machines. Some have a pulsator inside to agitate the garter belts and make them flow backward. Others use a water pump to circulate water spraying. The water sprayed backward draws the garter belts upward from the dyeing box 1 and washes and conveys the garter belts backward. The sucked-in garter belts will be continuously pushed backward along the inclined garter belt tube 3 to complete the circulation effect. This device can use a negative pressure suction drive tube 31. The drive tube 31 and dyeing equipment of this device can be selected as RS model jet dyeing machines. The design of the drive tube 31 is also a conventional technology of this type of dyeing machine.

[0044] The guide tube 2 is a straight tube with openings at both ends. A locking rod 21 is provided at the lower end of the guide tube 2. The axis of the inner hole of the guide tube 2 is perpendicular to the axis of the locking rod 21. Multiple guide tubes 2 can be separately inserted into the top of the heating plate 11 through the locking rod 21.

[0045] Multiple guide tubes 2 are at the same height, and the inner hole axes of each guide tube 2 coincide. Each guide tube 2 and the hanging tube 3 are parallel to each other in the same vertical plane, and each guide tube 2 does not contact each other. Both the guide tube 2 and the hanging tube 3 are smooth inner tubes, and the openings need to be rounded and chamfered to ensure smoothness and facilitate the smooth flow of the garter belt, avoiding snagging on the garter belt.

[0046] The guide tube 2 is set horizontally, and the horizontal distance between two adjacent guide tubes 2 is between 5-10cm; the guide tube 2 has a guide port 22 at both ends, and the guide port 22 is a funnel-shaped opening; the diameter of the outer opening of the guide port 22 is larger than the inner diameter of the guide tube 2, so that the garter belt can be guided more smoothly when it enters the guide tube 2.

[0047] The overflow pipe 4 is a straight pipe, which is vertically installed inside the dyeing tank 1. The lower end of the overflow pipe 4 is connected to the external dyeing agent storage tank. When the liquid level is high, the dyeing agent will enter the lower dyeing agent storage tank along the overflow pipe, thereby discharging the dyeing agent in the dyeing tank 1 and maintaining a constant liquid level. When the liquid level sensor detects that the dyeing agent in the dyeing tank 1 is low, the external pump starts and pumps the dyeing agent into the dyeing tank 1 in reverse through the water inlet platform 42 to meet the dyeing requirements. The upper opening height of the overflow pipe 4 is between the guide tube 2 and the hanging tube 3. Multiple overflow holes are also opened on the top of the side wall of the overflow pipe 4, and the overflow holes are connected to the inside of the overflow pipe 4.

[0048] An inlet platform 42 is installed at the bottom of the overflow pipe 4, and the inlet platform 42 is also connected to the external dye storage tank; the inlet platform 42 and the overflow pipe 4 are not connected to each other and are independent water flow pipelines.

[0049] A sensor 41 is also installed at the upper end of the overflow pipe 4. The sensor 41 includes a temperature sensor and a liquid level sensor. Both the sensor 41 and the heating plate 11 are connected to the controller of the dyeing box 1.

[0050] It should be noted that existing garter dyeing machines only have one straight tube to drive the garter's rotation. The upper end of the garter is suspended on the horizontal straight tube, while the bottom is suspended in the air. When there are two straight tube channels for guiding dyeing inside a dyeing tank 1, they are not only too long and easy to get tangled, but they are also prone to getting tangled with adjacent garters, which can easily lead to knots and prevent normal flow, resulting in dyeing failure. Because the garters are long, this situation is very likely to occur, requiring continuous personnel to monitor and maintain the equipment to ensure normal operation. This device can improve this by tilting the hanging tube 3 to make the garter flow more smoothly backward. It also adds multiple guide tubes 2 to pre-guide the flow of the garter and restrict the flow direction of the garter soaked in the dye, effectively preventing them from getting tangled.

[0051] In use, the garter belt is passed through the hanging tube 3 from front to back. The length of the garter belt tube 3 is generally less than 1 meter. The end of the garter belt that has passed through the garter belt tube 3 is then passed through the guide tube 2 on the same axis from back to front. Finally, the two ends of the garter belt are tied together to form a complete loop. Then, the drive tube 31 is turned on. The drive tube 31 pushes the garter belt along the hanging tube 3 towards the lower rear end. The front end of the hanging tube 3 is also continuously pulled upwards and into the hanging tube 3. The garter belt flows backwards along the hanging tube 3 and into the dyeing box 1. The garter belt floating in the dyeing box then moves forward along the guide tube 2. A cycle is formed whereby the garter belt is pulled into the guide tube 2, which is located below the overflow pipe 4, meaning it is below the liquid surface. Once inside the guide tube 2, the garter belt will inevitably be immersed below the dye liquid surface. The guide tubes 2 are not completely connected; the adjacent guide tubes 2 are designed to be disconnected, allowing the garter belt to fully contact the dye even below the liquid surface, achieving the purpose of thorough dyeing. At the same time, the guide tube 2 will constrain the direction of the garter belt's movement, ensuring that the garter belt is directly below the hanging tube 3, and then it is repeatedly drawn into the hanging tube 3, effectively preventing the garter belt from getting tangled.

[0052] Sensor 41 can detect temperature and liquid level. When the temperature is low, it controls the heating plate 11 to heat the dye on the glove travel path in time to ensure the dyeing effect of the glove. At the same time, when the liquid level is low, it controls the external pump to inject the dye into the dyeing tank 1 through the water inlet platform 42.

[0053] The dye can also be continuously injected through the water inlet platform 42 and flow out through the overflow pipe 4, forming a circulating flow loop for the dye, so that the dye in the dyeing box 1 remains uniform, avoids sedimentation, and improves the dyeing effect.
