INFILTRATION AND RINSE DEVICE OF CONVEYOR-DRIVEN FABRIC DYEING MACHINE

Abstract

A conveyor-driven fabric dyeing machine includes an infiltration and rinse device. Fabric is driven by a conveyor inside a machine body of the dyeing machine and has an extremely low liquid content rate due to separation of fabric, particularly hydrophobic fabric, and liquid. The fabric might get rubbed and damaged and affected in respect of dyeing homogeneity and reduction and cleaning. Quality of the fabric may also be affected by contaminants present inside the machine body. The infiltration and rinse device includes one or multiple spraying devices mounted inside the machine body at a suitable site to receive and jet and spray a pressurized dye liquid or clear water supplied from a pump onto the fabric or the interior space of the machine body to increase a moisten degree of the fabric and also to rinse the fabric and cleanse the interior of the machine body.

Claims

1. An infiltration and rinse device used in combination with a conveyor-driven fabric dyeing machine, the dyeing machine comprising a machine body in which a conveyor device is mounted for carrying and conveying fabric, the infiltration and rinse device comprising one or multiple spraying devices that have an end connected to an outlet terminal of a pump in order to receive and jet and spray a pressurized dye liquid or clear water supplied from the pump onto the fabric carried on and cyclically moved by the conveyor to moisten the fabric and rinse off impurities or contaminants attached to the fabric.

2. The infiltration and rinse device according to claim 1, wherein the spraying device is operable to cause spraying onto an interior of the machine body to wash and remove contaminants present in the interior of the machine body.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0008] FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a structure of a dyeing machine according to an embodiment the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] The following descriptions are exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention provides a conveyor-driven fabric dyeing machine that comprises a fabric infiltration and rinse device. The fabric dyeing machine comprises a machine body 1 and a dyeing tube 9 is arranged above the machine body 1 to allow fabric to move therethrough. The dyeing tube 9 is provided therein with a fabric seam detectors 8 that is set at a predetermined location to detect a leading edger or seam of the fabric. A conveyor device 2 is arranged in the machine body 1. The machine body 1 is provided, in an interior space thereof, with a nozzle 5 and a fabric guide roller 4 arranged at an upper portion of a front end thereof. The machine body 1 is provided with a liquid storage tank 6 that is mounted to a bottom thereof. The liquid storage tank 6 is connected through a main pipe 12 to a pump 7. The pump 7 is connected through pipes 13, 14 to multiple spraying device 10, 11 so that a pressurized dye liquid or clear water supplied from the pump 7 can be jetted and sprayed, through the spraying devices 10, 11, onto fabric 3 that is carried on and driven by the conveyor 2 to circulate and cyclically move around the machine body in order to increase a degree of moistening of the fabric 3 and also to remove minute cotton pieces and chips and also residues of dyeing-assisting chemicals and, in addition, spraying can be made with the spraying devices 10, 11 onto an interior space of the machine body 1 to wash and remove contaminants present in the interior or attached to and stick to an interior surface of the machine body.

[0011] It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.

[0012] While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the claims of the present invention.
