Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sewing thread dyeing devices, and more specifically, it relates to a dyeing device for sewing thread production. Background Technology
[0002] Knitted garments cannot function without sewing thread. From a raw material perspective, sewing thread can be categorized into three main types: natural fibers, synthetic fibers, and blended fibers. It's worth noting that with the continuous development of the polyester industry, sewing thread made from pure polyester fibers is becoming increasingly common.
[0003] Existing sewing machine threads require dyeing during the production process, but existing dyeing equipment has the following problems:
[0004] 1. In the critical step of dyeing sewing machine thread, tightly wound thread rollers need to be conveyed and discharged into a large dyeing kettle. Due to the dense structure of the thread rollers, the numerous layers of yarn wound together, and the small gaps, dye cannot quickly penetrate into the interior. To ensure that both the innermost and outermost layers of yarn on the thread rollers obtain a uniform and full color, they must be soaked for a considerable period of time, resulting in low dyeing efficiency for sewing machine thread.
[0005] 2. After the dyeing process is completed, a large amount of unfixed residual dye adheres to the surface of the thread roller and the gaps between the yarns, forming a viscous liquid layer. These valuable dyes are often directly washed away and discharged as waste liquid during subsequent rinsing or dehydration steps. This not only results in significant waste of dyes and chemicals and increases production costs, but also, if the residual dye is not thoroughly removed, it may affect subsequent processing.
[0006] 3. During the dyeing process of sewing machine thread being immersed in the dyeing kettle, in order to prevent the thread rollers from shifting, tumbling, or even tangling under the impact of the circulating dye solution, it is usually necessary to use special fixing clamps to position and clamp each of the numerous thread rollers individually. Currently, this fixing operation mainly relies on manual labor. This repetitive and heavy physical labor is not only inefficient, but also significantly increases the workload of workers.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dyeing device for sewing thread production. Utility Model Content

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the limiting post is fixedly connected to the limiting block, and the lower side of the rotating disk is provided with a limiting hole, wherein the limiting block and the limiting hole of the rotating disk are in a limiting fit.
[0019] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a dyeing device for sewing thread production, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. This utility model uses a motor to drive a spline sleeve, connecting rod, and support plate, causing a column fitted with a thread roller to rotate circumferentially in the dye bath. Simultaneously, with the cooperation of a limiting block and a rotating disk, the roller design allows the column to rotate around its own axis. This combined motion ensures that the inner and outer layers of the thread roller fully and dynamically contact the dye, greatly improving the problem of uneven penetration in traditional static immersion and significantly enhancing dyeing uniformity and immersion efficiency.
[0022] 2. This utility model utilizes a lifting mechanism and spring pressure plate design to achieve rapid loading and unloading of the wire rollers. During loading, the support structure is lifted, and the wire rollers are easily inserted; after being placed in the dyeing kettle, the pressure plate automatically presses down under gravity and spring force, simultaneously and firmly pressing multiple wire rollers onto the column. This process eliminates the need for tedious manual fixing of each roller individually, achieving a high degree of automation and significantly reducing the labor intensity and clamping time for workers.
[0023] 3. This invention drives the support plate and rollers to rotate at high speed by increasing the motor speed, and uses the resulting centrifugal force to efficiently remove excess dye adhering to the rollers. The removed dye is recovered through the discharge pipe at the bottom of the dyeing kettle and can be reused, significantly reducing the dye waste caused by traditional rinsing and discarding, and avoiding interference from residual dye to subsequent drying processes, making it more economical and environmentally friendly.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-7 A dyeing device for sewing thread production includes a support leg 1, a dyeing kettle 2 fixedly connected to the support leg 1, a top cover 3 installed on the dyeing kettle 2, a discharge pipe 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the dyeing kettle 2, a feed pipe 5 fixedly connected to the upper part of the dyeing kettle 2, a spline sleeve 6 rotatably connected to the top cover 3, a connecting rod 7 splined inside the spline sleeve 6, a support plate 8 fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 7, a support plate 8 rotatably connected to circumferentially evenly spaced columns 9, a pressure plate 10 fixedly connected to the lower side of the spline sleeve 6, the connecting rod 7 passing through the pressure plate 10, the pressure plate 10 having circumferentially evenly spaced through holes, and the columns 9 passing through the through holes of the pressure plate 10. The support plate 8 is equipped with a drive structure; a connecting shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the spline sleeve 6, and a connecting frame 12 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 11. A hanger 13 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 12; a motor 14 is fixedly connected to the hanger 13, and the output shaft of the motor 14 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 11. A lifting ring 15 is fixedly connected to the hanger 13; a spring 16 abuts between the pressure plate 10 and the top cover 3; two fixing rods 17 are fixedly connected to the top cover 3, and the fixing rods 17 pass through the adjacent connecting frames 12; a limiting post 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the dyeing kettle 2, and a limiting hole is provided at the lower end of the connecting rod 7. The limiting post 18 is inserted into the limiting hole of the connecting rod 7.
[0036] Please see Figures 5-7The driving structure includes a rotating disk 19, which is rotatably connected to the lower side of the support plate 8. A guide through hole is provided in the middle of the rotating disk 19. The support plate 8 is rotatably connected to rollers 20 with equal circumferential spacing. The rollers 20 are fixedly connected to the adjacent column 9 and abut against the rotating disk 19. A limiting post 18 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 21. A limiting hole is provided on the lower side of the rotating disk 19. The limiting block 21 and the limiting hole of the rotating disk 19 are matched for limiting.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The lifting device hooks the lifting ring 15 and pulls the lifting ring 15 upward. The lifting ring 15 drives the connecting frame 12 to move upward through the hanging frame 13. The connecting frame 12 drives the spline sleeve 6 to move upward through the connecting shaft 11. The spline sleeve 6 drives the salt pressure plate 10 to move upward. The pressure plate 10 and the column 9 lose their engagement and gradually move away from each other. The spring 16 is also compressed. When the spring 16 is compressed to its limit, the spring 16 supports the top cover 3 to move upward. The top cover 3 loses its engagement with the dyeing kettle 2. At the same time, the pressure plate 10 limits the spline on the connecting rod 7. The pressure plate 10 drags the connecting rod 7 to move synchronously. The connecting rod 7 drives the support plate 8 and the column 9 on it to move upward until the support plate 8 and the column 9 are taken out of the dyeing kettle 2. Then, a roller-shaped sewing machine thread is put on the column 9.
[0038] After the support plate 8 is removed from the dyeing kettle 2, dye is added to the dyeing kettle 2 through the feed pipe 5. After the sewing machine thread is installed, the above operation is repeated to re-hoist the support plate 8 into the dyeing kettle 2. When the support plate 8 contacts the dye liquid surface, the motor 14 is started. The output shaft of the motor 14 drives the spline sleeve 6 to rotate through the connecting shaft 11. The spline sleeve 6 drives the support plate 8 to rotate circumferentially through the connecting rod 7. The column 9 drives the sewing machine thread to rotate. During the downward movement of the support plate 8, the limiting post 18 is inserted into the guide hole of the rotating disk 19 and the limiting hole of the connecting rod 7, and the limiting block 21 is also inserted into the limiting hole of the connecting rod 7. Inserted into the limiting hole of the rotating disk 19, the lower end of the connecting rod 7 is fixed by the fiber column, thus making the rotation of the connecting rod more stable. As the hanger 13 moves downward, the spline sleeve 6 moves downward along the connecting rod 7, and the column 9 is re-inserted into the through hole of the pressure plate 10. Under the action of the gravity of the pressure plate 10 and the elastic force of the spring 16, the pressure plate 10 fixes the sewing machine thread roller, improving the stability of the sewing machine thread roller on the column 9. The top cover 3 contacts the dyeing kettle 2, which has a heating and heat preservation function, thereby heating the dye inside and ensuring the dyeing efficiency of the sewing machine thread.
[0039] After the top cover 3 comes into contact with the dyeing kettle 2, the top cover 3 and the dyeing kettle 2 are fixed with bolts (the fixing method of the top cover 3 and the dyeing kettle 2 depends on the actual situation). On the drive frame of the motor 14, the sewing machine thread rotates circumferentially in the dyeing kettle 2, and the dye impacts the sewing machine thread, thereby making the sewing machine thread come into uniform contact with the dye.
[0040] During the circumferential rotation of the support plate 8, the limiting block 21 limits the rotation disk 19, the support plate 8 drives the roller 20 to rotate circumferentially, the roller 20 rotates around the rotation disk 19, thereby causing the column 9 to rotate around the support plate 8, further improving the dyeing effect and efficiency of the sewing machine thread.
[0041] After dyeing is completed, the dye is discharged through the discharge pipe. Then, the rotation speed of the output shaft of motor 14 is increased, which causes the support plate 8 to drive the thread roller to rotate circumferentially. The excess dye on the thread roller is cleaned by centrifugal force, and the cleaned dye is discharged from the discharge pipe for subsequent use. After the above operation is completed, motor 14 is turned off, and the above steps are repeated to remove the support plate 8 and the sewing machine thread roller on it from the dyeing kettle 2, and remove the dyed sewing machine thread roller from the column 9.
[0042] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
