Description

A simple dyeing device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chemical processing technology, specifically relating to a simple dye processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In industries such as printing and dyeing, coating, and textile auxiliaries, dyes typically require pretreatment, which involves fully dispersing and dissolving powdered or high-concentration dyes with water or auxiliaries under specific shear conditions to form a stable liquid before metering, conveying, or application in machinery. Common pretreatment methods in existing production sites include manual feeding with hand-held mixers, single-bucket mixers, and centralized pretreatment stations. The above methods generally have the following problems in practical applications: First, manual material preparation relies on personnel experience, and the stirring intensity and time are not easy to stabilize, which can easily lead to agglomeration, local high concentration, or insufficient dissolution, resulting in risks such as color difference, screen blockage, or sedimentation in subsequent processes; Second, traditional stirring equipment often only solves the "stirring" function, and manual pouring or transfer is still required after the material preparation is completed. The liquid adheres to the bottom and wall of the tank and is difficult to drain completely, which not only wastes dye but also increases the cleaning burden when changing colors or materials; Third, for working conditions with small usage and frequent batch changes, although centralized material preparation stations have a high degree of automation, the equipment is large, costly, and lacks cycle time and flexibility, which is not conducive to small and medium batch and multi-variety production.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dyeing device that is simple in structure, easy to arrange, and can realize automatic conveying of the material cylinder, stabilize the dyeing process, and reduce residual dyes, so as to improve the dyeing efficiency, reduce the impact of human factors, and improve the cost of material replacement and maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a simple dye preparation device with a simple overall structure and small footprint, suitable for preparation conditions where the amount of dye used is small or where multiple dye types are frequently switched.

[0005] The technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A simple dyeing device includes a frame, a stirring mechanism disposed on the top of the frame, and a material cylinder placement mechanism coaxially disposed below the stirring mechanism and reciprocating in the vertical direction. A feeding mechanism for conveying the material cylinder is provided on one side of the material cylinder placement mechanism, and a robotic arm for gripping the material cylinder is provided between the feeding mechanism and the material cylinder placement mechanism.

[0007] The material cylinder has a cylindrical structure with a conical structure at the bottom center of its inner side. The stirring mechanism has at least one dispersing disc and a material extraction pipe in the center of the stirring mechanism. The material cylinder placement mechanism drives the material cylinder to rise, so that the stirring mechanism extends into the material cylinder. After the material is dissolved, the material extraction pipe extracts the dye from the material cylinder.

[0008] In some embodiments, the mixing mechanism includes a mounting plate, a cover is provided below the mounting plate, a dispersing disc and a material extraction pipe are both disposed inside the cover, and the drive mechanism of the dispersing disc and the outlet of the material extraction pipe are both located above the mounting plate.

[0009] In some implementations, two dispersion disks are provided, one with a higher position and the other with a lower position.

[0010] In some embodiments, the barrel placement mechanism includes a first vertical module mounted on a frame. The output end of the first vertical module is provided with a fixing groove, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the barrel. The bottom of the fixing groove is provided with a leakage outlet for collecting dye that leaks out during stirring.

[0011] In some embodiments, the fixing groove is provided with a support plate, and the support plate has a conical groove in the center that matches the conical structure of the bottom surface of the barrel.

[0012] In some implementations, the feeding mechanism is a roller conveyor belt.

[0013] In some embodiments, the robotic arm includes a horizontal module mounted on a frame, with a second vertical module at the output end of the horizontal module and a gripper at the output end of the second vertical module. The gripper includes a fixed plate, and two symmetrically arranged cylinders are mounted on the fixed plate. The output ends of the two cylinders are arranged oppositely and connected to a first sliding plate and a second sliding plate. The first and second sliding plates are slidably mounted on the fixed plate via slide rails. A first rack is provided on the side of the first sliding plate, and a second rack is provided on the side of the second sliding plate. An idler wheel is provided in the center of the fixed plate. The first and second racks mesh with the idler wheel simultaneously, causing the first and second sliding plates to move synchronously. L-shaped clamps are provided on both sides of the bottom of the first and second sliding plates.

[0014] In some embodiments, a flange is provided at the top of the material cylinder, and an L-shaped clamp holds the flange to transport the material cylinder.

[0015] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention uses a material cylinder placement mechanism to raise the material cylinder, allowing the stirring mechanism to extend into the material cylinder for material processing. After material processing is completed, the material liquid is directly extracted by the central extraction pipe of the stirring mechanism, realizing the integration of material processing and discharge, reducing manual material pouring and transfer, and reducing splash pollution and labor intensity.

[0017] The bottom of the barrel is equipped with a conical structure, which guides the dye to the center during stirring and enhances the circulation and stirring, thereby increasing the dispersion and dissolution speed. When pumping, the conical structure works in conjunction with the pumping pipe to make the liquid more easily converge to the pumping position, thereby reducing bottom residue and waste, and reducing the workload of color change and cleaning.

[0026] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1-6, this utility model provides a simple dyeing device, including a frame 1. The frame 1 is an integral load-bearing structure. The upper part is used to install a stirring mechanism, and the lower part is used to arrange a material cylinder placement mechanism, a feeding mechanism, and a robot arm. The components are arranged sequentially along the process flow to realize the automatic conveying, chemicaling, and extraction operations of the material cylinder 2.

[0028] A stirring mechanism is fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1, and is rigidly connected to the frame 1. A material cylinder placement mechanism is coaxially installed below the stirring mechanism. The material cylinder placement mechanism reciprocates vertically, driving the material cylinder 2 to move up and down relative to the stirring mechanism. A feeding mechanism is installed on one side of the material cylinder placement mechanism, which is used to transport the material cylinder 2 containing the material to be processed to a predetermined picking position. A robotic arm is installed between the feeding mechanism and the material cylinder placement mechanism, which is used to grab the material cylinder 2 and transfer it to the material cylinder placement mechanism.

[0029] The feed cylinder 2 has a cylindrical structure with a tapered shape that tapers downwards at the center of its inner bottom. This tapered structure serves two purposes: firstly, it guides the dye towards the central area during stirring, avoiding dead zones at the bottom and improving the contact efficiency between the dye and the stirring components, thereby increasing the mixing speed; secondly, after mixing is complete, this tapered structure can cooperate with the extraction pipe 13 in the stirring mechanism, allowing the dye to naturally converge at the inlet of the extraction pipe 13 during extraction, reducing residual liquid stagnation at the bottom of the feed cylinder 2.

[0030] The mixing mechanism is equipped with at least one dispersion disc 4, which is driven to rotate at high speed by a drive mechanism to disperse and mix the dye in the material cylinder 2. A material extraction pipe 13 is also located in the center of the mixing mechanism. After the material is dissolved, the material extraction pipe 13 is used to directly extract the dye from the material cylinder 2, realizing an integrated operation of discharging and discharging. During operation, the material cylinder placement mechanism drives the material cylinder 2 upward, causing the entire mixing mechanism to extend into the material cylinder 2 for dissolving. After dissolving, the dye is extracted through the material extraction pipe 13 to subsequent processes or storage containers.

[0031] Furthermore, the stirring mechanism includes a mounting plate 5, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the frame 1. A cover 6 is located below the mounting plate 5, protecting the dispersing disc 4 and the extraction pipe 13. Both the dispersing disc 4 and the extraction pipe 13 are arranged inside the cover 6, with their drive mechanisms positioned above the mounting plate 5 to prevent dye splashing from contaminating the drive components. The outlet of the extraction pipe 13 is also located above the mounting plate 5 for easy connection to external pipelines or a pump.

[0032] Preferably, two dispersion discs 4 are provided, arranged vertically at intervals, with one dispersion disc 4 positioned higher and the other lower. Through the cooperation of the upper and lower dispersion discs, the upper and lower layers of dye in the feed cylinder 2 can be effectively sheared and circulated during the stirring process, further improving the uniformity and efficiency of the dyeing process, which is especially suitable for the rapid dispersion of powder dyes or dyes that are prone to agglomeration.

[0033] In another embodiment, the barrel placement mechanism includes a first vertical module 7 mounted on the frame 1. The output end of the first vertical module 7 is connected to a fixing groove 8, which supports the barrel 2. The diameter of the fixing groove 8 is larger than the outer diameter of the barrel 2, allowing the barrel 2 to be placed into the fixing groove 8 from above and stably positioned. A drain outlet 9 is provided at the bottom of the fixing groove 8. When a small amount of dye overflows or drips during stirring, the dye can be guided to a recovery container through the drain outlet 9, preventing contamination of the equipment or working environment. A support plate 81 is provided inside the fixing groove 8. The support plate 81 has a conical groove 82 in its center that matches the conical structure of the bottom surface of the barrel 2, ensuring stability during stirring.

[0034] The preferred feeding mechanism is a roller conveyor belt 10. The roller conveyor belt 10 is arranged along one side of the frame 1 and is used for continuous or intermittent conveying of the material cylinder 2. The bottom of the material cylinder 2 is provided with a base, which supports the material cylinder 2 and prevents the conical structure at its bottom from interfering with the roller conveyor belt 10. The roller conveyor belt 10 enables automatic feeding of the material cylinder 2, reduces the intensity of manual handling, and coordinates with the actions of the robotic arm in a rhythmic manner.

[0035] The robotic arm includes a horizontal module 3 and a second vertical module 11. The horizontal module 3 is mounted on the frame 1 and is used to move the material cylinder 2 horizontally. The second vertical module 11 is located at the output end of the horizontal module 3 and is used to lift the material cylinder 2 vertically. The output end of the second vertical module 11 is equipped with a gripper 12 for holding the material cylinder 2.

[0036] The gripper 12 includes a fixed plate 121 on which two cylinders 122 are symmetrically arranged. The output ends of the two cylinders 122 are oppositely arranged and connected to a first slide plate 123 and a second slide plate 124, respectively. The first slide plate 123 and the second slide plate 124 are slidably mounted on the fixed plate 121 via slide rails. A first rack 125 is provided on the side of the first slide plate 123, and a second rack 126 is provided on the side of the second slide plate 124. An idler wheel 127 is provided in the center of the fixed plate 121. The first rack 125 and the second rack 126 simultaneously mesh with the idler wheel 127, thereby enabling the first slide plate 123 and the second slide plate 124 to move synchronously and equidistantly towards or away from each other under the drive of the cylinders 122. L-shaped clamping plates 128 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the first slide plate 123 and the second slide plate 124 for clamping the material cylinder 2.

[0037] In a further embodiment, a flange 21 is provided at the top of the material cylinder 2. The L-shaped clamping plate 128 clamps the flange 21 during the clamping process, so that the clamping position is stable and reliable, avoiding slippage during handling or lifting, and improving the safety and stability of the robot arm in grasping and transporting the material cylinder 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, the automatic conveying, rapid material processing and direct material extraction of the material cylinder 2 are achieved through the coordinated operation of the feeding mechanism, the robotic arm, the material cylinder placement mechanism and the stirring mechanism. The overall structure is simple and occupies little space. It is suitable for material processing conditions where the amount of dye used is small or multiple varieties are frequently switched, and has high practical value.
