Abstract

A dyeing machine with symmetrical double spiral fabric tanks includes a barrel body with a fabric inlet, two spiral fabric tanks arranged side by side with each other in the barrel body and installed on both sides of the fabric inlet respectively, and each spiral fabric tank having a fabric guiding tube, a spiral fabric sliding plate and a receiving tank. The two fabric guiding tubes are disposed proximate to adjacent sides and facing to the front side and arranged symmetrically with respect to the left and right sides. The two spiral fabric sliding plates are coupled to the rear end of the two fabric guiding tubes and configured to be spirally from top to bottom, so that cloths can be dipped and dyed in the two spiral fabric tanks.

Claims

1. A dyeing machine with symmetrical double spiral fabric tanks, comprising:

a barrel body, being in a transversal form, and one of the left and right sides being opened, and having a sealed cover with a periphery secured onto the opening to seal the barrel body, and the front side of the barrel body further having a fabric inlet;

first and second spiral fabric tanks, configured side by side with each other in the barrel body, and installed on both sides of the fabric inlet respectively, and each of the first and second spiral fabric tanks comprising;

a hollow tube, a spiral fabric sliding plate installed at the outer periphery of the hollow tube, a ring-shaped baffle covered onto the outer periphery of the spiral fabric sliding plate, a fabric guiding tube installed at an upper front edge of the spiral fabric sliding plate, and a receiving tank installed at a lower front edge of the spiral fabric sliding plate, and having a plurality of through holes formed on the peripheral wall of the receiving tank, wherein one fabric guiding tubes of the first and second spiral fabric tanks is installed on the right side, and the other fabric guiding tube is installed on the left side, so as to form two fabric guiding tubes proximate to two adjacent sides and facing to the front, and substantially symmetrical with each other respect to the left and right sides each other, and the spiral fabric sliding plates of the first and second spiral fabric tanks are coupled to the rear end of the fabric guiding tube and configured to be in spirally downward form, and one of the first and second spiral fabric tanks is set to be counterclockwise, the other one is set to be clockwise;

two carrier stages, installed under the first and second spiral fabric tanks respectively, and each carrier stage having a plurality of meshes formed at a stage top of the carrier stage and four symmetrical four guiding wheels, and two parallel rails installed at the lower end of the inner edge of the barrel body and configured to be corresponsive to the guiding wheels respectively, so that the first and second spiral fabric tanks can be pushed out of the barrel body by the carrier stage for repair and maintenance;

a dyeing solution input mechanism and a dye injection mechanism for resupplying a dyeing solution, installed outside the barrel body, and the dyeing solution input mechanism having an outlet pipeline, an inlet pipeline and a pump;

at least one heat exchanger, installed under the carrier stage, for heating and cooling the dyeing solution in the barrel body;

two first nozzle, coupled to an inlet end of the fabric guiding tube, and coupled to an outlet pipeline of the dyeing solution input mechanism by a pipeline, so that the pressurized dyeing solution delivers the cloth in the receiving tank to the fabric guiding tube and the spiral fabric sliding plate, and the cloth is dipped and dyed in the first and second spiral fabric tanks repeatedly in a cycle; and

a control mechanism, for controlling the heat exchanger for heating and cooling the dyeing solution in a dyeing process.

2. The dyeing machine with symmetrical double spiral fabric tanks according to claim 1, wherein the ring-shaped baffles of the first and second spiral fabric tanks are fixed onto at least two fixed plates by a plurality of semicircular stop plates respectively, and each fixed plate is fixed onto the spiral fabric sliding plate.

3. The dyeing machine with symmetrical double spiral fabric tanks according to claim 2, wherein each fixed plate has a plurality of first overflow holes formed thereon, and each semicircular stop plate has a plurality of second overflow holes.

4. The dyeing machine with symmetrical double spiral fabric tanks according to claim 1, further comprising a guiding rack, installed above the fabric inlet formed at the outer periphery of the barrel body, a runner installed at an outer end of the guiding rack, for feeding, guiding and outputting the cloth to be dyed in the first and second spiral fabric tanks.

5. The dyeing machine with symmetrical double spiral fabric tanks according to claim 1, further comprising two second nozzles disposed at the front of the first nozzle, for guiding the cloth in the receiving tank into the first nozzle.

6. The dyeing machine with symmetrical double spiral fabric tanks according to claim 1, wherein the heat exchanger includes an upper-layer heat exchanger and a lower-layer heat exchanger, and each of the upper-layer and lower-layer heat exchangers is a circulation loop, and one of the upper-layer and lower-layer heat exchangers acts as a hot steam loop, and the other one of the upper-layer and lower-layer heat exchangers acts as a hot coal oil loop, and one of the upper-layer and lower-layer heat exchangers is selectively turned on and used, or both of the upper-layer and lower-layer heat exchangers are turned on and used simultaneously.
