A supercritical fluid dyeing and finishing system has a fabric warp beam dyeing kettle. A fabric warp beam dyeing and finishing unit is arranged in the fabric warp beam dyeing kettle. An external magnetic transmission device II is arranged outside the fabric warp beam dyeing kettle. The fabric warp beam dyeing and finishing unit includes a porous pipe I and a porous pipe II. The porous pipe I and the porous pipe II are connected with an inlet of the fabric warp beam dyeing and finishing unit through a bearing I and a bearing II. A fluid ejector is connected with the inlet of the fabric warp beam dyeing and finishing unit and disposed in the vicinity of the porous pipe I and the porous pipe II.

The invention relates to a separation, recycling and self-cleaning system of a supercritical fluid dyeing machine. The system includes a supercritical fluid medium reservoir, one or more parallel dyeing units, a high-pressure pump, a primary separator, a secondary separator and a membrane separator sequentially connected. A dyeing medium and residual dye in dyeing units can be efficiently separated and recycled simultaneously, and when the separation and recycling is finished, each dyeing unit can be directly opened so that the dyeing units and products can be cleaned after dyeing, thereby improving the production and processing efficiency of supercritical fluid waterless dyeing and achieving simple operations, complete separation, stability and reliability and a blowback self-cleaning. The invention has a broad application prospect and practical significance in fundamentally addressing generation and emission of pollutants in the textile printing and dyeing industry and realizing energy conservation, consumption reduction, emission reduction and clean production.

The invention relates to a multi-pipe quantitative medium filling system of a supercritical fluid waterless dyeing machine. The system comprises a supercritical fluid medium reservoir, a stop valve, and a medium filter sequentially connected by a high-pressure main pipe, and at least two filling branches independent of each other and connected to the medium filter. Each filling branch includes a booster pump, a supercritical fluid high-pressure mass flowmeter, a ball valve, and a dyeing unit sequentially connected along a medium forward direction by a high-pressure branch pipe. By using a mass-measurement filling system having multiple branches independent of each other, the invention can effectively realize simultaneous and accurate quantitative medium filling for separate dyeing units and differentiated filling for dyeing units with different medium masses, thus overcoming disadvantages such as unreliability, inaccuracy and low use efficiency of a conventional method, and also making a dyeing operation simple and scientifically feasible.

The invention discloses a mobile dyeing cup for supercritical fluid waterless dyeing and finishing. The dyeing cup achieves separate or simultaneous filling of the medium into multiple dyeing units, and simultaneous heating of the dyeing units for proofing processing. A medium outlet is provided at the lowest position of the bottom of the cup, and the inner surface of the dyeing cup is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene, to effectively reduce residual dye chemicals in the cup and improve the cleaning efficiency. The perforated baffle at the bottom of the cup effectively prevents a textile product from blocking the medium outlet during medium filling and outputting, so that the processing medium and residual dye chemicals can be smoothly discharged. Accordingly, defects of an existing fixed proofing device such as low utilization efficiency, complex cleaning and incapability of meeting the proofing requirements of commercial production are overcome.
