Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a spray dyeing apparatus and in particular to a spray dyeing apparatus having a construction to allow the fabric breadth to be substantially fully expanded during dyeing process with a pressure difference created between the upper side and the lower side of the expanded fabric, together with vibration of the fabric caused by high speed air streams under the fabric, to enhance the dyeing effectiveness and efficiency.
- the term spray dyeing apparatus used herein is intended to indicate a dyeing apparatus in which the liquid dye and other fabric treating agent are brought into contact with the fabric in an atomized form by means of spray nozzles arranged above the fabric.
- the dyeing apparatus in accordance with the present invention provides a flat fabric support surface of a sufficient width which allows the fabric to be substantially fully expanded in the breadthwise direction when the fabric is moved through the dyeing apparatus so as to receive the atomized dye thereon across the breath thereof to carry out dyeing operation.
- the present invention also discloses a construction of the dyeing apparatus which comprises a plurality of directing nozzles located under the expanded fabric to generate high speed air streams to move and support the fabric on the support surface.
- the high speed air streams also create a low pressure zone under the expanded fabric which causes a pressure difference between the upper and lower sides of the expanded fabric.
- the pressure difference causes the fabric to violently vibrate so as to enhance the penetration and diffusion of the dye into the fabric.
- the present invention is particularly related to a dyeing apparatus in which an effect that is caused by the high speed air streams under the expanded fabric creating a low pressure under the fabric and the massive transfer of energy between the high speed air streams and the fabric causeing the fabric to continuously move downstream leads in a high efficient penetration and diffusion of the dye within the fabric and also a very effective way to remove un-wanted particles or impurities from the fabric and to clean, rinse and bleach the dyed fabric in a very efficient way so as to complete the overall dyeing operation in a very short time as compared with the convertional dyeing apparatus.
- the fabric is moved by means of a fabric driving wheel and a driving nozzle set.
- the fabric is constrained to be in the form of a tight bundle, similar to a rope, to pass through the throat of the driving nozzle.
- the fabric is also constrained in a circular fabric guide tube having a limited, small diameter in order to prevent the kinematic energy of the moving fabric from losing due to expansion of the fabric and thus maintain the speed of the fabric in a desired level.
- the fabric is constrained to the form of rope in moving through the fabric is constrained to the form of rope in moving through the fabric guide tube inside which the dyeing operation is actually carried out.
- the conventional air flow type or liquid flow type dyeing apparatus is generally designed to make use of the driving force generated by air stream nozzles or liquid stream nozzles (the driving nozzle) or the combination thereof to force the fabric to move into and through the fabric guide tube.
- the technique of the liquid flow type dyeing apparatus has been disclosed in certain prior art patents so that no further discussion is given here.
- the air flow type dyeing apparatus it is defined as comprising an air driving nozzle mounted on the liquid driving nozzle or mounted at the upstream and downstream side to provide auxiliary driving force and to soften the hard driving action generated by the liquid driving nozzle and also to provide a dyeing operation of low bath ratio.
- the air flow type dyeing apparatus is classified as high temperature, high pressure type and regular temperature, regular pressure type, which comprises, in the construction, a fabric storage tank, a fabric guide tube, a fabric driving wheel, a dye driving nozzle set, an air driving nozzle set, a fabric folding device, a dye pump, a blower, a heat exchanger/filter device for temperature control and a control unit.
- the fabric guide tube is arranged above the fabric storage tank and extending in the same axial direction.
- the upstream end and the downstream end of the fabric guide tube are respectively connected to and in communication with a lateral side end of the fabric storage tank to allow the fabric to be driven and guided by the driving wheel from the fabric storage tank to a driving nozzle set
- the fabric is driven into and through the fabric guide tube and eventually moving from the downstream side back into the fabric storage tank.
- the dye and air exiting the fabric guide tube are re-circulated through respective return tubes to the dye pump and the air blower.
- the fabric that moves into the fabric storage tank through a laterally rear side of the tank is then moved toward the laterally front side and driven out of the fabric storage tank by the fabric driving wheel to continuously circulate through the fabric storage tank and the fabric guide tube.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 respectively show the conventional air flow type and liquid flow type dyeing apparatus, both comprising a fabric storage tank A and a fabric guide tube A1.
- the fabric guide tube A1 has a dye driving nozzle A11(for liquid flow type) or an air driving nozzle A12(for air flow type) at an upstream inlet.
- the dye driving nozzle A11 and the air driving nozzle A12 are generically referred to as driving nozzle and designated with reference A2 in the following description.
- the fabric guide tube A1 has a downstream outlet connected to and in fluid communication with the fabric storage tank A to define a continuous fabric circulation loop through which a fabric to be dyed, designated with reference B, is moved.
- the fabric B inside the fabric storage tank A is driven therefrom to the driving nozzle A2 by means of a fabric driving wheel A3 and is dyed by means of the dye and/or air stream generated by the driving nozzle A2.
- the dye/air stream also forces the fabric B to move through the fabric guide tube A1 and back into the fabric storage tank A.
- the dye C inside the fabric storage tank A is conducted by means of a return tube A4 located under the fabric storage tank A to the dye pump A5.
- the air that flows into the fabric storage tank A with the fabric B is conducted by an air return tube A6 disposed above the fabric storage tank A to the air blower D.
- the fabric B that moves out of the fabric guide tube A1 and enters the laterally rear side of the fabric storage tank A is driven frontward by means of for example inclination of the fabric storage tank A or gravity or potential difference thereof to repeat the dyeing cycle.
- the movement of the fabric is achieved by the fabric driving wheel A3 and the dye/air stream generated by the driving nozzle A2 that is located at the laterally front end upstream inlet so as to allow the fabric B to move into and through the fabric guide tube A1 and thus providing a dyeing operation of low bath ratio.
- the driving nozzle A2 is constructed to have a nozzle opening or mouth of circular cross section, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
- a variety of adjustable construction of the driving nozzle have been developed which gradually takes place of the driving nozzles of fixed nozzle opening size or exchangeable nozzles.
- the operation of the adjustable driving nozzle A2 in the dyeing process is substantially identical to the fixed type nozzle, for the fabric B is still constrained to be in the form of a rope in passing through the nozzle A2. Since the adjustable driving nozzle constitute no improvement to be discussed in the present invention, no further detail will be given.
- the fabric B passes through the central throat A22 of the rising opening A21 of the driving nozzle A2 with the due/air stream from the nozzle A2 surrounds the fabric at the downstream side and forms a constraint force on the fabric B.
- both the driving nozzle A2 and the fabric guide tube A1 through which the fabric B is to move have a circular cross section to provide transfer and saving of energy.
- the fabric B is alos subject to great impact from the dye/air stream, which may cause damage on the fibrous structure of the fabric B so as to lead in separation and detachment of fibers.
- lowering down the jet force of the driving nozzle A2 may not provide a sufficient penetration force of the dye into the rope-like configuration of the fabric B.
- the moving speed of the fabric B is also reduced and thus lengthens the circulation period of the fabric B.
- the fabric B passes through the driving nozzle A2
- the fabric B is usually folded breadthwise and tightly squeezed together. Folding traces are thus formed on the fabric B.
- compacting the fabric B to form a rope-like configuration is helpful in transferring energy from the dye/air stream to the fabric B and moving the fabric B downstream, yet with such a compact configuration of fabric, it is difficult to have the dye uniformly and sufficiently penetrate into the fabric B. In other words, it requires great energy to drive the dye deep into the fabric B and also to expel the dye that has already penetrated into the fabric B to get out of the fabric B so as to allow new dye to move in.
- the dyeing cycle is lengthened and dye streams are continuously provided by the driving nozzle A2 to impact onto the fabric B. This makes the dyeing operation time- and labor-consuming.
- the momentum that the driving nozzle A2 applies to the fabric B may be calculated on the basis of the speed when the fabric B is passing through the throat A22 of the driving nozzle B.
- the velocity reduces for the cross-sectional area of the ring-like mouth A21 of the driving nozzle.
- A2 is smaller than that of the fabric guide tube A1 which causes the dye flow or air flow to spread out and the spread of the air flow or dye flow makes the fabric B slow down. Since the fabric B itself is not a fluid, it has to fold or overlap to accommodate the reduction of speed. This is particularly significant for all cotton fabric or fabric having a great unit weight.
- the fabric B may get over-crowded and squeezed inside the fabric guide tube A1, causing an action like a piston inside a cylinder bore. Serious folding line problem may thus arise. Also, the friction between the fabric guide tube A1 and the fabric B is increased. As a matter of fact, in the conventional air flow type and liquid flow type dyeing apparatus, once the fabric B leaves the driving nozzle A2, due to the increase of space, most of the mementum is lost with the spread of the air flow or dye flow so that the penetration of the dye into the fabric B is reduced.
- the expansion of the air stream or air flow may open the fabric B when the fabric B is leaving the fabric guide tube A1, yet since the fabric B is constrained to the form of a rope for quite a long during the dyeing operation, it is sometimes not possible to have the fabric B opened properly.
- the air flow type dyeing apparatus is not suitable for all cotton fabric or fabric having great unit weight.
- the fabric is only subject to the action of the driving nozzle A2, un-dyed spots may be found in the fabric B and thus the effectiveness of dyeing is poor.
- the air flow type dyeing apparatus handles fabric in a batch manner and the quantity of fabric that a batch may take is dependent upon the size of the fabric storage tank.
- the most common capacity of the fabric storage tank is between 100-200 Kg. If a batch is greater than the capacity, then the dyeing operation must be carried out with more than one dyeing device.
- the dyeing apparatus may be designed with a very large fabric storage tank which is divide into several channels each serving as an independent fabric storage tank. Besides the capacity of the fabric storage tank, the productivity capacity of a dyeing apparatus is also determined by the period of the dyeing cycle. Generally, a dyeing cycle takes approximately 2minutes which should not be shortened significantly in order to obtain an effective dyeing.
- the movement of the fabric B inside the fabric storage tank A is usually driven by the inclination provided inside the tank A and the potential caused by the stack of fabric B inside the tank.
- This is particularly true for air flow type dyeing apparatus.
- the air flow type dyeing apparatus usually adapts a configuration of for example "J",”O" or "U” shape to provide such an altitude difference for causing movement of the fabric B inside the fabric storage tank A.
- a layer of low friction coefficient material (not shown) is provided inside the fabric storage tank A.
- FIG. 5 shows a prior art liquid flow type dyeing apparatus created by the present inventor, which is disclosed in Taiwan utility model No. 89941, Chinese utility model No. ZL 93209236.5, Chinese patent No. 93105099.5 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,381,678.

- the driving nozzle A2 generates dye stream to carry out dyeing operation on the fabric B and drives the dye C and the fabric B to pass through the fabric guide tube A1 and into the fabric storage tank A.
- the dye C collected inside the fabric storage tank A is then guided via a return tube A4 to a dye pump A5 which pressurizes and conveys the dye, via a dye circulation tube A8, to the driving nozzle A2 to be injected thereby onto the fabric B to drive the fabric B through the fabric guide tube A1.
- the fabric guide tube A1 comprises a plurality of directing nozzles A61 arranged on the bottom of the fabric guide tube A1 so as to allow the dye C which is pressurized by the pump A5 and conveyed through a tube A7 to be injected in a downstream direction by the directing nozzles A61 for enhancing the movement and dyeing effectiveness of the fabric B.

- a further object of the present invention is to provide a spray dyeing apparatus which generates a plurality of high speed air streams to act upon the underside of the substantially fully expanded fabric so as to induce a violent vibration on the fabric which is partially caused by the impact of the air streams onto the fabric and partially by the pressure difference between the upper side and lower side of the fabric induced by the high speed of the air stream, which vibration enhances the penetration and diffusion of dye into the fabric and thus significantly increases the degree of exhaustion of dye.

- a fabric folding plate 17 is provided on wall 114 of the connection section 113 by means of pivot.
- the fabric folding plate 17 is controlled by any known means to wingingly reciprocate about the pivot so as to repeatedly and cyclically get into contact with the fabric 2 during the movement of the fabric 2 and thus force the fabric 2 to be folded in a neat and snug manner in moving from the fabric guide tube 11 back into the fabric storage tank 1.
- the fabric storage tank 1 is provided with a liquid/air separation net or holed plate 19 which is provided on the bottom of the fabric storage tank 1 with a space defined therebetween so that when the fabric 2 which has dye carried thereon falls back into the fabric storage tank 1, the fabric 2 is supported on the liquid/air separation net 19 to allow the dye to drop through the net 19 by means of gravity and collected in the space between the net 19 and the bottom of the fabric storage tank 1.
- the dye so collected is then drawn away, via the dye return tube 151,by a dye pump 15.
- the dye is then pumped through a filter 153 and a heat exchanger 154 to remove un-wanted particles or impurity from the dye and to maintain the dye at a given temperature for dyeing operation.
- the dye so treated is then conveyed to the spray nozzles 14 through a dye conveyor tube 152.
- the support plate 13 defines a support surface of substantially flat structure with a width sufficient to allow the fabric to expand so as to enhance the dyeing effectiveness yet, as a matter of fact, the support plate 13 may not need to be a flat configuration and it only needs the support plate 13 to be of a sufficient width to allow the fabric to fully expand in order to achieve the dyeing operation provided by the present invention.
- FIG. 8 an another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.
- the support plate 13 takes the form of an arc substantially concentric with respect to the circular configuration of the dyeing apparatus or the fabric storage tank 1, the width of the base plate 13 in this embodiment being also sufficient for the breadth of the fabric to be substantially fully expanded Similarly, other configuration of the base plate with a smooth and gradual change in the overall contour also provides the same effectiveness as that shown in both embodiments of FIGS. 8 and 13.
- the fabric 2 is pulled upward from the fabric storage tank 1 by the fabric driving wheel 18 and then conveyed into the fabric guide tube 11.

- the dye is absorbed and carried by the fabric 2 toward the outlet 112 of the fabric guide tube 1 and then returns to the fabric storage tank 1.
- the dye that returns to the fabric storage tank 1 passes through the liquid/air separation net 19 and is then collected at the lowermost portion of the fabric storage tank 1 from which the dye is again conducted to the pump 15 via the dye return tube 151 so as to constitute a continuous dye circulation loop.
- the dye return tube 151 is provided with a dye feeding inlet 1511 through which dye may be supplemented or other fabric treating agent or chemicals may be added into the dye circulation loop.
- the fabric storage tank 1 also has a holed top wall which is spaced from the liquid/air separation plate 19 to define an interior space of the fabric storage tank 1 for receiving the fabric 2 therein.
- the holed top wall also defines an interior spaced with the underside of the distribution tube 12 to allow air that is separated from the dye or that flows from the directing nozzles 121 as downstream air stream toward the downstream outlet 112 of the fabric guide tube 11 and into the fabric storage tank 1 to be collected therein and conducted by an air return tube 161 to a blower 16.
- the air is then pressurized by the blower 16 and transported through a heat exchanger 154 to be conveyed into the distribution tube 12 via an air conveyor tube 162.
- the pressurized air that is conveyed into the distribution tube 12 via the air conveyor tube 162 is distributed over the plurality of directing nozzles 121 to generate downstream air streams under the fabric 2.
- the base 13 of the fabric guide tube 11 also serves to constrain the direction of the air streams and to "rebound" a portion of the air streams that collides the fabric 2 and is reflected toward the base 13 by the fabric 2 so as to more effectively support the fabric 2 above the flat base 13.
- a by-pass tube 165 is provided between the dye conveyor tube 152 and the air conveyor tube 162. Valves 155, 166 and 163 are respectively provided on the dye conveyor tube 152, the by-pass tube 165 and the air conveyor tube 162 in such a manner that the circulation of fluid in the dye conveyor tube 152 may be selectively directed to the air conveyor tube 162 via the by-pass tube 165.
- the disposition of the by-pass tube 165 is to provide a more effective dyeing operation on the fabric 2, especially fabric having a greater unit weight, such as fabric having a unit weight of 600 grams per yard length.
- the disposition of the by-pass tube 165 to partially direct the fluid circulating inside the dye conveyor tube 152 to the directing nozzles 121 of the distribution tube 12 via the air conveyor tube 162 is also to perform an effective rinsing operation in which fresh water or other suitable rinsing agent takes place of the dye in the circulation loop defined by the dye return tube 151, the pump 15, the filter 153, the heat exchanger 154, the dye conveyor tube 152, the spray nozzles 14, the fabric guide tube 11 and the fabric storage tank 1 and is pumped to spray onto the fabric 2 from the upper side of the fabric 2 to carry out the rinsing operation.
- the fresh water is also conducted to the distribution tube 2 to be injected to the lower side of the fabric 2 through the directing nozzles 121. This enhances the removal of un-wanted particles or impurities from the fabric 2.
- the fluid circulation of the dyeing apparatus of the present invention described above is substrantially the same as the conventional dyeing apparatus.
- FIGS. 11 and 12 a preferred structure for the directing nozzles is shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, which comprises a movable blade 12101, a link bar 122, a driving rod 123.
- the movable blade 12101 has two opposite pivot pins 12102 pivotally received in bushings 1101 fixed within an opening formed on the base plate 13 of the fabric guide tube 1 to have the blade 12101 to define a spacing with an edge of the opening, which spacing is adjustable by rotating the blade 12101 relative to the base plate 13.
- the adjustable spacing serves as the directing nozzle 121.
- One of the pivot pins 12102 of the movable blade 12101 is extended outward and coupled to one end of the link bar 122.
- the other end of the link bar 122 is pivoted to the driving rod 123 which extends in the direction of the fabric guide tube 11.
- the driving rod 123 may be coupled to any suitable power device, such as hydraulic actuation system, electric motor actuation system or other power actuation system to be driven thereby for rotating the blades 12101 in controlling the size of the nozzles 121 and adjusting the jet from the nozzles 121, FIGS.
- the feature of the present invention resides in the structure of the fabric guide tube 11 which does not have a narrow nozzle at the upstream inlet that is adapted in the prior art design as indicated at A11 and A12 of FIGS. 1-3, and the throat of the prior art design through which the fabric passes indicating at A22 of FIGS. 3 and 4.
- the fabric guide tube 11 of the present invention comprises a flat and wide bottom(support plate)extending from the upstream inlet 111 to the downstream outlet 112 and having a width sufficient to allow the fabric to fully expanded breadthwise so that the fabric is in a fully expanded condition in moving through the fabric guide tube 11 and thus allows a more efficient dyeing operation to be performed thereon wherein the dye sprays from the spray nozzles 14 located above the fabric may uniformly fall onto the whole breadth of the fabric 2 from the upper side of the fabric 2.
- the dye that is sprayed onto the upper side of the fabric 2 penetrates through the thickness of the fabric 2 due to gravity and capillarity of the fiber composed of the fabric 2. The penetration of the dye through the fabric 2 effects dyeing of the fabric 2.
- the lower side of the fabric 2 is subject to the air streams from the directing nozzles 121 so as to be floated over the bottom(support plate) 13 of the fabric guide tube 11 and be driven downstream by being impacted by the air streams.
- the high speed of the air streams under the fabric 2 also creates a lower pressure condition in which the pressure is lower than that above the fabric 2 in which the speed of air flow is much smaller.
- the difference in pressure between the lower side and the upper side of the fabric 2 is in an un-stable condition due to the air streams from the directing nozzles 121 which, in general, are not precisely uniformly distributed along the length of the fabric guide tube 11 so that the fabric 2 which is fully expanded in moving through the fabric guide tube 11 is subject to a cyclical and violent up-and-down vibration.
- the higher pressure above the fabric 2 also forms a constraint to the air streams under the fabric 2 to force the air streams to flow partially breadthwise of the fabric 2(namely in the axial direction of the dyeing apparatus.).
- Such a breadthwise flow of air enhances and maintains the breadthwise expansion of the fabric 2 in moving through the fabric guide tube 11.
- the fabric folding plate 17 When the fabric 2 exits the fabric guide tube 11 at the downstream outlet 112, it is subject to the reciprocal movement of the fabric folding plate 17 which is pivoted to the fabric guide tube 11 at the outlet 112 and controlled to swingingly reciprocate and oscillate about the pivot and is sized to exercise a large area contact with the fabric 2 when the fabric 2 is moved into the fabric storage tank 1. Due to the oscillation of the plate 17 about the pivot thereof, the plate 17 gets into contact with fabric 2 in a periodical manner and the contact engagement between the plate 17 and the fabric 2 folds the fabric 2 in a direction opposite to the moving direction thereof so that a snugly folded configuration of the fabric 2 may be obtained when the fabric 2 moves into the fabric storage tank 1.
- the dye that is carried by the fabric 2 into the fabric storage tank 1 is separated therefrom by being driven by gravity to pass through the liquid/air separation net 19 and collected at the lowermost portion of the fabric storage tank 1.
- the air that is moved with the fabric 2 from the fabric guide tube 11 into the fabric storage tank 1 flows through the upper side holed plate of the fabric storage tank 1 to be collected and conveyed to the blower 1. Except a minor portion of the air which is allowed to flow to the laterally front side of the dyeing apparatus form pressure balance purpose, the air is collected and re-circulated by being drawn away by the blower 16 via the air conveyor tube 161.
- the air is compressed and sent to the distribution tube 12 to be jetted through the directing nozzles 121 for driving the fabric 2 downstream.
- the high speed air streams under the fabric 2 creates a high speed and low pressure zone under the fabric 2 which has a pressure lower than that above the fabric 2.
- the pressure difference between the upper and lower sides of the fabric 2, together with gravity of the fabric 2 and the dye carried thereon, tends to force the fabric 2 toward the high speed air stream zone. This causes a tight contact between the fabric 2 and the high speed air streams and thus increases the momentum transferred form the air streams to the fabric2 to increase the kinetic energy of the fabric 2.
- the stream lines of the air streams under the fabric 2 limits further movement of the fabric toward the bottom 13 of the fiber guide tube 11 so as to floatingly support the fabric 2 on the air streams and prevent the fabric 2 from getting into directly contact with the bottom 13 of the fabric guide tube 11.
- the air streams are temporarily stopped or “dragged” by the increased shear force between the fabric 2 and the air streams.
- the energy of the air streams is then converted to a resistance force against the movement of the fabric 2 toward the bottom 13 and rebound the fabric 2 away from the bottom 13. This causes a cyclic vibration(up and down movement) of the fabric 2 inside the fabric guide tube 11.
- the frequency of the vibration of the fabric 2 is, of course, dependent upon the unit length weight of the fabric and the momentum transferred by the air streams, as well as other factors that are known to those skilled in the field of fluid dynamics.
- a vibration may be, at least partially, controlled by adjusting the opening size of the directing nozzles 121 or by changing the power input to the blower 16.
- the cyclic vibration of the fabric involves a massive transfer or conversion of energy which causes the fibers of the fabric 2 to become loosened, thus enhancing the penetration of the dye into the fabric 2 and increasing the absorbability and diffusion of the dye within the fabric 2 so that besides increasing the moving speed of the fabric 2 and providing a dyeing operation with a small quantity of dye, high concentration, high efficiency, low energy consumption, low bath ratio and low pollution, the present invention helps to loosen the fibers within the fabric so as to enhance the removal of un-wanted matters or impurities from the fabric, increasing the operation efficiency of for example rinsing, cleaning, bleaching and thus increase the overall efficiency of the dyeing operation.
