That is, incorporated in this housing are a plurality of guide rollers for guiding and carrying a cloth to be treated, steam supply means and heated air supply means each for application of a required treatment by providing saturated steam, superheated steam, heated air, etc. It may be said that housing of the conventional apparatus is very large in dimensions and scale to be capable of performing a treatment at high speed or a treatment for a long time.
- the conventional apparatus comprises a housing whose internal part forms a single chamber, and moreover the housing is very large in dimensions. Therefore, some cloths are treated with excessive energy given from steam or heated air which is more than required. More specifically, for treating a thin cloth or a cloth of light material, or for finishing a cloth dyed with light color, actually such treatment can be sufficiently achieved by rather gentle treatment conditions. Nevertheless, the entire housing should be filled with steam or heated air just for uniform distribution of energy, which is a disadvantage from the economical point of view.
- the conventional treatment apparatus is formed into one box-shaped housing as a whole and the box is large in dimensions to be capable of performing mass treatment as mentioned above, such conventional apparatus is not suitable for treatment of varieties of products devided into small lots. More specifically, there exist disadvantages such that it takes a long time for rising the apparatus to start or for changing some treatment condition to a different one, eventually resulting in poor efficiency of the operation of the apparatus.
- treatment conditions in the housing is set to an uniform one, and therefore temperature of cloth is obliged to increase little by little taking a long time. That is, temperature of the cloth can reach a required level just after passing a certain time after carrying the cloth in the housing, which is a further aspect of poor efficiency.
- the present invetion was made to ovecome the above-discussed problems and has an object of providing a treatment apparatus of cloth which is not formed into one box-shaped housing forming a single chamber but formed by a plurality of treatment units combined one another.

- a plurality of treatment units in which nature and conditions of treatment are common are combined to form a treatment apparatus. It is also that a plurality of treatment units in which nature and conditions of treatment are different are combined to form a tretment apparatus.
- the cloth is subject to a required treatment while being exposed to saturated steam, superheated steam, heated air, cooling air, etc.
- an energy required for the intended treatment is appropriately given by steam or heated air supplied into the housing. If time necessary for rising the apparatus to start or other condition of treatment is to be changed, time necessary for transition to a changed condition of treatment is minimized by adjusting the number of treatment units arrranged side by side.
- a series of treatments including pre-treatment can be continuously carried out by a single treatment apparatus. Since the treatment apparatus is formed of plural box-shaped compartments of small dimensions, treatment condition can be controlled by each compartment (housing), which permits exact control over each section of the apparatus. Because temperature condition can be set for each housing forming a treatment unit, it is now possible to increase largely the tempera ture of cloth at once to obtain a required temperature in short time just by a treatment unit located at the head of the apparatus.

Abstract
There is provided a treatment unit of cloth comprising a box-shaped housing having an entrance for carrying a cloth in on one side and an exit for carrying the cloth out on the other side, a guide roller on which the cloth is put and transferred from said entrance to the exit, and a treatment section for performing a required treatment by supplying the cloth with saturated steam, superheated steam, heated air, cool air, etc; a plurality of guide rollers forming several pairs and each serving as an electrode are provided in the housing of the treatment unit. A treatment apparatus of cloth comprising a plurality of the treatment units is also disclosed.
Description
- The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating a cloth and a treatment unit of cloth forming the apparatus, for use in dyeing process of a cloth, for example, in which dyestuff or pigment is fixed to the cloth by steaming or heating after printing on the cloth, otherwise a cloth is dipped in a solution of dyestuff, resin or other chemicals to be impregnated therewith, or dyestuff, resin or chemicals are physically or chemically fixed to the cloth by steaming or heating after drying or without drying, thereby changing the characteristics of the cloth.
- In the dyeing process of an elongated cloth, for continuously carrying out such treatment as fixing of dyestuff, pigment or resin to the cloth, or reforming the cloth with chemicals, it has been popular to employ such a device as continuous steamer using saturated steam or superheated steam, heat setter using heated air, etc.
- Any of those conventionally used devices comprises a box-shaped housing in which every essential element is incorporated. That is, incorporated in this housing are a plurality of guide rollers for guiding and carrying a cloth to be treated, steam supply means and heated air supply means each for application of a required treatment by providing saturated steam, superheated steam, heated air, etc. It may be said that housing of the conventional apparatus is very large in dimensions and scale to be capable of performing a treatment at high speed or a treatment for a long time.
- In the mentioned known continuous steamer, heat setter, etc. used as a treatment apparatus of cloth, steam or heated air is supplied to the housing so that a cloth may be treated with such steam or air with which the whole housing is filled. As mentioned above, the conventional apparatus comprises a housing whose internal part forms a single chamber, and moreover the housing is very large in dimensions. Therefore, some cloths are treated with excessive energy given from steam or heated air which is more than required. More specifically, for treating a thin cloth or a cloth of light material, or for finishing a cloth dyed with light color, actually such treatment can be sufficiently achieved by rather gentle treatment conditions. Nevertheless, the entire housing should be filled with steam or heated air just for uniform distribution of energy, which is a disadvantage from the economical point of view.
- Since the conventional treatment apparatus is formed into one box-shaped housing as a whole and the box is large in dimensions to be capable of performing mass treatment as mentioned above, such conventional apparatus is not suitable for treatment of varieties of products devided into small lots. More specifically, there exist disadvantages such that it takes a long time for rising the apparatus to start or for changing some treatment condition to a different one, eventually resulting in poor efficiency of the operation of the apparatus.
- Further, in the treatment of fixing by steaming a deystuff to a printed cloth composed of cotton, rayon or mixture thereof or to a cloth preliminarily dried after dyestuff padding treatment, it is necessary for such cloth to contain a certain extent of moisture. In addition to the moisture contained in the cloth before putting it in a steamer, a further moisture is given to the cloth in the form of a condensed water which is transformed from steam in the steamer and condensed on the cloth surface due to temperature of the cloth lower than that in the steamer. In this manner, latent heat of the steam is radiated thereby increasing the temperature of the cloth to accelerate the steaming. However, if temperature of the cloth is high at the time of carrying the cloth in the apparatus due to heat residual and kept over from the printing process of dyestuff pading process, amount of the mentioned condense moisture to be given to the cloth at the stage after carrying the cloth in is reduced and moisture contained in the cloth is deficient, which eventually results in undesirable poor coloring on the product after the treatment. To avoid such a problem, it has been conventional to employ a device separate from the steamer by which cool air is blown against the cloth or water is sprayed on the cloth as a preliminarily step. Thus, cooling of the cloth or supplying the cloth with moisture has been a necessary step previous to the steaming. This is because the conventional steamer can perform its function only on one uniform condition. It is very troublesome to carry out the mentioned preliminary step separately from the steaming, and moreover the separate device requires its installation space. In the steamer wherein moisture is partially discharged from the cloth, because of large dimensions of the housing forming a single chamber, a situation not easy to control treatment conditions may sometimes come out in the housing including a portion where steamn is dry, a portion where temperature is high due to heat generated by reaction of chemicals contained in the cloth. As a result, it is often the case to bring about irregular coloring, which is a further problem from the viewpoint of quality.
- Also in the conventional heat setter using heated air, treatment conditions in the housing is set to an uniform one, and therefore temperature of cloth is obliged to increase little by little taking a long time. That is, temperature of the cloth can reach a required level just after passing a certain time after carrying the cloth in the housing, which is a further aspect of poor efficiency.
- Generally speaking, it take a long time for a treatment apparatus of large dimensions to be manufactured, installed and put into operation. Furthermore, since the conventional apparatus is formed into a box-shaped housing forming a single chamber, operation of the whole apparatus must be stopped even if some trouble occur only in a part of the apparatus, resulting in reduction in rate of operation.
- The present invetion was made to ovecome the above-discussed problems and has an object of providing a treatment apparatus of cloth which is not formed into one box-shaped housing forming a single chamber but formed by a plurality of treatment units combined one another.
- To accomplish the foregoing object, the treatment unit of cloth in accordance with the present invention comprises: a box-shaped housing having an entrance for carrying a cloth in on one side and an exit for carrying the cloth out on the other side; a guide roller on which the cloth is put and transferred from said entrance to the exit; and treatment means for performing a required treatment by supplying the cloth with saturated steam, superheated steam, heated air, cool air, etc.
- It is preferabe that a plurality of guide rollers forming several pairs and each serving as an electrode are provided in the housing of each treatment unit, and wherein each electrode is connected to a power source so that a positive voltage is applied to one of each pair of said guide rollers while a negative voltage is applied to the other of each pair, and a current is applied to a cloth dipped in a treating solution (electrolytic solution) to be impregnated therewith and bridged over between said pair of guide rollers by way of the solution to exnibit a current effect such as heat generation thereby performing a required treatment.
- It is also preferable that a pularity of treatment units of above construction forming a treatment apparatus are arranged side by side in such a manner that, in the treatment units adjacent each other, a side having an exit for carrying a cloth out joins to a side having an entrance for carrying a cloth in thus each treatment unit being able to be recombinated.
- It is preferable that a plurality of treatment units in which nature and conditions of treatment are common are combined to form a treatment apparatus. It is also that a plurality of treatment units in which nature and conditions of treatment are different are combined to form a tretment apparatus.
- In the treatment unit of above construction, during a period of time when a cloth carried in through the entrance provided on one side of the housing is guided by the guide rollers and sent out through the exit provided on the other side of the housing, the cloth is subject to a required treatment while being exposed to saturated steam, superheated steam, heated air, cooling air, etc.
- In the treatment unit in which a plurality of guide rollers forming several pairs and each serving as an electrode are provided in the housing of the treatment unit so that a positive voltage is applied to one of each pair of said guide rollers while a negative voltage is applied to the other of each pair, and that a current is applied to a cloth dipped in a treating solution (electrolytic solution) to be impregnated therewith and bridged over between said pair of guide rollers by way of the solution, chemical reaction is accelerated by the current applied to the cloth impregnated with the solution, thus a required treatment being performed.
- In the treatment apparatus of cloth comprising an optimum number of combined treatment units in which nature and conditions of treatment applied to a cloth are common considering kind, nature and characteristic of a cloth to be treated and with positions of their entrance and exit cincident in the adjacent treatment units as mentioned above, an energy required for the intended treatment is appropriately given by steam or heated air supplied into the housing. If time necessary for rising the apparatus to start or other condition of treatment is to be changed, time necessary for transition to a changed condition of treatment is minimized by adjusting the number of treatment units arrranged side by side.
- In the treatment apparatus of cloth comprising a plurality of combined treatment units in which nature and conditions of treatment applied to a cloth are different from each other, a series of treatments including pre-treatment can be continuously carried out by a single treatment apparatus. Since the treatment apparatus is formed of plural box-shaped compartments of small dimensions, treatment condition can be controlled by each compartment (housing), which permits exact control over each section of the apparatus. Because temperature condition can be set for each housing forming a treatment unit, it is now possible to increase largely the tempera ture of cloth at once to obtain a required temperature in short time just by a treatment unit located at the head of the apparatus.
- Since the treatment apparatus of cloth of above construction can be disassembled into each compartment of treatment unit, manufacturing and installation of the unit are easy. In the event of breakdown or trouble, only the unit involved in the trouble can be released from operation so as to leave the cloth just passing from the entrance to exit of the unit without stopping the operation of the entire apparatus.
- Since the present invention is constructed and pexhibits its function as mentioned above, when applying a treatment such as steaming, baking, etc. to a cloth using the treatment apparatus comprising plural treatment units according to the invention, energy of steam or heated air can be more effectively and economically utilized. Rate of operation is satisfactory since the apparatus can suitably meet treatment of variety of cloths in small lot. A series of necessary treatments can be performed by a single apparatus thereby not only installation space is saved but also uniformity in quality of treated cloth is improved.
- Since the it is possible to add one or more treatment unit to the apparatus, the scale of the apparatus can be increased little by little according to the expansion of operation.
