Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile processing equipment, and in particular to a textile washing and softening machine and a textile printing and dyeing processing line. Background Technology
[0002] Existing washing machines and softening machines are used in the color fixing process of textiles. Washing machines are mainly used in the pretreatment steps before color fixing and in the post-treatment steps after color fixing. For example, washing machines remove solid impurities inherent in the textile during the pretreatment step, and remove unfixed dyes and sizing residues from the textile during the post-treatment step. Softening machines mainly involve adding softeners and guiding the textile through guide rollers to fully contact the softener. The softener softens the textile to improve its hand feel and softness. In existing color-fixing systems, the washing machine and softening machine are set up separately or in isolation. The function of each individual device is limited, which also leads to problems such as large footprint and high equipment cost. On the other hand, existing technologies have not overcome the problems faced when the washing machine and softening machine are combined into one machine. The main problem is that the washing liquid in the washing machine may be carried into the softening machine along with the textile fabric, resulting in different softener concentrations in different parts of the softening machine. Consequently, the textile fabric comes into contact with different concentrations of softener, and after long-term use, there will be obvious differences between different batches of textile fabric, such as significant differences in softness and color. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the return pump of the softening device can transfer the softening liquid from the end treatment tank to the beginning treatment tank, so that the concentration of the softening liquid in multiple treatment tanks remains uniform during the softening treatment, and it also facilitates the replenishment of the softening liquid.

[0034] like Figure 1-2 A textile washing and softening machine includes: a washing device 1, a softening device 2, and a fabric conveying component 3.
[0035] Multiple fabric conveying components 3 are respectively disposed on the washing device 1 and the softening device 2, and are used to sequentially convey the textile fabric 5 to the washing device 1 and the softening device 2.
[0036] The over-softening device 2 includes: a processing container 21, a return pipe 22, and a return pump 23;
[0037] The processing container 21 is disposed on one side of the washing device 1; the processing container 21 has a plurality of processing tanks 211 arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the textile fabric 5, and two adjacent processing tanks 211 are connected to each other; the input end of the return pipe 22 is connected to the processing tank 211 located at the end of the arrangement; the output end of the return pipe 22 is connected to the processing tank 211 located at the beginning of the arrangement; the processing tank 211 is provided with the fabric conveying component 3, and the processing tank 211 is filled with softening liquid; the return pump 23 is disposed on the return pipe 22.
[0038] This solution provides a textile washing and softening machine that integrates a washing device 1 and a softening device 2. The textile fabric 5 passes through the washing device 1 and the softening device 2 in sequence, facilitating seamless connection between the washing and softening processes of the textile fabric 5. Furthermore, the return pump 23 of the softening device 2 can transfer the softening liquid from the end treatment tank 211 to the beginning treatment tank 211, ensuring that the concentration of the softening liquid in multiple treatment tanks 211 remains uniform during the softening process. It also facilitates the replenishment of the softening liquid, solving the problem of inconsistent softening liquid concentrations in different treatment tanks 211 due to the washing liquid from the washing device 1 mixing with the softening liquid in a certain treatment tank 211. This effectively avoids serious differences between different batches of textile fabric 5.
[0039] The washing device 1 is a well-known device in the textile printing and dyeing industry. Generally, the washing device 1 cleans the textile by repeatedly immersing and moving it in the washing tank, thereby achieving a concentration exchange between the fabric and the washing liquid in the tank. In this solution, the softening device 2 is placed close to the washing device 1. Both the washing device 1 and the softening device 2 are equipped with a conveying component 3. The conveying component 3 can guide and convey the textile fabric 5 between the washing device 1 and the softening device 2 in sequence. The processing container 21 is equipped with the conveying component 3, which is also distributed in the processing tank 211. The conveying component 3 can guide the textile fabric 5 into the processing tank 211, and guide the textile fabric 5 from the processing tank 211 to extend it out, and then guide it into another processing tank 211. The processing tank 211 contains softening liquid. When the textile fabric 5 is transferred from the washing device 1 to the adjacent processing tank 211, the textile fabric 5 may carry the washing liquid from the washing device 1 into the processing tank 211. After long-term processing, there is a difference in the softening liquid concentration between the processing tank 211 closest to the washing device 1 and the processing tank 211 furthest from it. The surface of the textile fabric 5 shows obvious differences after multiple batches of processing. To address this, the softening device 2 in this design incorporates a return pipe 22 and a return pump 23. The processing tank 211 at the end of the arrangement outputs the softening liquid to the processing tank 211 at the beginning of the arrangement through the return pipe 22, and the return pump 23 drives the softening liquid to flow back to the processing tank 211. Therefore, the two processing tanks 211 at the beginning and end of the arrangement are connected. The process is integrated into one unit; generally, the end treatment tank 211 is furthest from the washing device 1, so the softener concentration in this treatment tank 211 is the highest, and the softener can be returned to the beginning treatment tank 211; and adjacent treatment tanks 211 are connected by a known structure (e.g., through holes, pipes, etc.), and the beginning treatment tank 211 transports the softener to the next treatment tank 211, and finally the softener flows to the end treatment tank 211; in this way, the softener can circulate through multiple treatment tanks 211, so the softener in the treatment container 21 remains uniform, and the washing liquid transferred from the washing device 1 can be neutralized by the circulating flow of the softener, avoiding excessive concentration of washing liquid in a certain treatment tank 211.
[0040] Alternatively, the over-softening device 2 may further include: a feeding pipe 24 and a feeding device 25;
[0041] The input end of the feeding pipe 24 is connected to the feeding device 25, and the output end of the feeding pipe 24 is connected to the return pipe 22. The feeding device 25 stores softening liquid and is used to output softening liquid to the feeding pipe 24. The feeding pipe 24 is equipped with a feeding valve 26.
[0042] This design also connects the feeding device 25 to the return pipe 22, and the feeding device 25 is connected to the return pipe 22 via the feeding pipe 24. The feeding device 25 stores softening liquid. After prolonged use, the softening liquid concentration in the multiple treatment tanks 211 of the softening device 2 decreases, requiring replenishment. Therefore, this design specifically uses the return pipe 22 as the feeding channel. When softening liquid needs to be added, the feeding valve 26 can be opened, and the softening liquid from the feeding device 25 is output to the return pipe 22 via the feeding pipe 24. The return pump 23 of the return pipe 22 outputs the softening liquid to the initial treatment tank 211. That is, the softening liquid with the highest concentration is output to the initial treatment tank 211 first, which can prevent the softening liquid concentration in the final treatment tank 211 from being too high, thereby preventing the textile fabric 5 from coming into contact with the high-concentration softening liquid before exiting the softening device 2. The softening liquid in the initial treatment tank 211 is then circulated to maintain the uniformity of the softening liquid concentration in the multiple treatment tanks 211.
[0043] Alternatively, the over-softening device 2 may further include: a reflux valve 27;
[0044] The reflux valve 27 is installed on the reflux pipe 22; the output end of the feed pipe 24 is connected to the reflux pipe 22, and the connection point is located between the reflux valve 27 and the reflux pump 23.
[0045] The return pipe 22 is equipped with a return valve 27, and the feeding pipe 24 is equipped with a feeding valve 26. When the return valve 27 is closed and the feeding valve 26 is open, the return pipe 22 switches to connect to the feeding device 25. When the return valve 27 is open and the feeding valve 26 is closed, the return pipe 22 switches to connect to the end processing tank 211. Thus, the return pump 23 of the return pipe 22 can be used to drive the softening liquid from the end processing tank 211 to the output processing tank 211 at the beginning, and can also be used to drive the softening liquid from the processing tank 211 of the feeding device 25 to the output processing tank 211 at the beginning. The return pump 23 realizes both circulation and feeding functions, simplifies the number of pumps, and thus simplifies the structure of the softening device 2.
[0046] Alternatively, the over-softening device 2 may further include: a flow meter 28;
[0047] The flow meter 28 is installed on the return pipe 22, and the connection point is located between the output end of the return pipe 22 and the return pump 23.
[0048] Since the return pipe 22 can be switched to the processing tank 211 or the feeding device 25 at the end of the connection, the flow meter 28 installed on the return pipe 22 can detect the flow rate of the return pipe 22 when the softening liquid is returned, and can also detect the flow rate of the feeding device 25 when the softening liquid is output, without the need to use too many flow meters 28.
[0049] Ideally, the sidewalls of two adjacent processing tanks 211 are abutted and are provided with interconnected side openings 212.
[0050] The side opening 212 can connect two processing tanks 211 into one unit. The softening liquid in one processing tank 211 can be output to the other processing tank 211 through the side opening 212. When the liquid level of the softening liquid in one processing tank 211 is higher than the side opening 212, the softening liquid can be output from the side opening 212 to the other processing tank 211, which facilitates the transfer of the processing tanks 211.
[0051] Alternatively, the overly soft device 2 may further include: a baffle 29;
[0052] The baffle 29 is provided with a cavity 291, the top of the baffle 29 exposes the liquid inlet 292, and one side wall of the baffle 29 exposes the opening 293; the baffle 29 is fixed to the side wall of the treatment tank 211 at the opening 293; the side opening 212 is located inside the cavity 291 and is lower than the liquid inlet 292.
[0053] The baffle 29 is fixed to the side wall of the treatment tank 211 at the opening 293, thus the side wall of the treatment tank 211 blocks the opening 293, and the side opening 212 is located inside the cavity 291. Therefore, the baffle 29 can be used to block the side opening 212, and the softening liquid can only flow into the cavity 291 through the inlet 292. As the textile fabric 5 passes through the treatment tank 211, impurities on the surface of the textile fabric 5 may be deposited in the treatment tank 211, and the impurities will sink to the bottom of the treatment tank 211 under the action of gravity. Therefore, it is difficult for impurities to enter the cavity 291 with the rise of the liquid level, thereby reducing the amount of impurities from one side of the treatment tank 211 being carried into the other side of the treatment tank 211.
[0054] Optimally, it also includes: a mesh 4;
[0055] The partition 4 is detachably disposed in the cavity 291, and the partition 4 covers the side opening 212.
[0056] The partition mesh 4 is detachably installed in the shell cavity 291. The multiple mesh openings of the partition mesh 4 fill the shell cavity 291, which can prevent impurities from passing through the mesh openings and thus prevent impurities from entering the side opening 212, effectively blocking impurities in the processing tank 211. At the same time, since the partition mesh 4 is detachably fixed, it can be removed after a period of use, taking away the impurities on the partition mesh 4 with it, preventing impurities from clogging the side opening 212.
[0057] Alternatively, a hook 41 may be provided above the partition 4, and the hook 41 may be suspended from the processing groove 211, so that the partition 4 is confined within the shell cavity 291.
[0058] The hook 41 can be suspended from the processing tank 211, for example, by attaching a locking position (such as a rod, groove, or hole) to the side wall of the processing tank 211. Alternatively, the hook 41 can be directly attached to the top of the side wall of the processing tank 211. This makes the installation and removal of the partition mesh 4 within the shell cavity 291 more convenient; simply suspend the hook 41 from the processing tank 211.
[0059] Optimally, the fabric conveying component 3 is a guide roller; multiple fabric conveying components 3 are distributed alternately up and down in the over-softening device 2; some of the fabric conveying components 3 are disposed inside the processing tank 211 and close to the bottom wall of the processing tank 211; some of the fabric conveying components 3 are disposed outside the processing tank 211 and located above the side wall of the processing tank 211.
[0060] The fabric conveyor 3 is selected as a guide roller, which can convey the textile fabric 5 from the washing device 1 to the softening device 2. For the softening device 2, the fabric conveyor 3 is preferably distributed in an alternating manner, so that the textile fabric 5 is first guided to enter one processing tank 211, the textile fabric 5 passes around the bottom surface of the fabric conveyor 3 from top to bottom and then extends upward outside the processing tank 211; the textile fabric 5 then passes around the top surface of the fabric conveyor 3 above the side wall of the processing tank 211 and then extends downward into another processing tank 211. The fabric conveyor 3 guides and conveys the textile fabric alternately from top to bottom.
