Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an apparatus for carrying out dyeing operations on textile materials and method related there is.
  • An apparatus of this kind is disclosed in DE-C-513285.
  • EP-A-612558 it is disclosed a device to mix a flowable colourant with a base paint inside a container which is moved in order to be supplied with the colourant and paint and then to be carried to a shading station.
  • EP-A-478211 it is also known a device to mix ingredients, in which the mixing containers are closed containers which are transferred in a controlled to perform the mixing operation in a proper position of the container.
  • EP-A-1174535 it is known an automatic apparatus for the preparation of colouring substances from one or more starting products in liquid or solid form.
  • the products are withdrawn and delivered to mixing bottled into which a magnetic body if placed to be moved by a magnetic strirring device making easier the mixing operation of the products in to the final colouring substance.
  • the above already known devices have the drawbacks that they are not able to obtain a dyeing process of textile materials in which the preparation of the colouring substances and an uniform dyeing process of the materials are performed in an automated controlled way.
  • the main object of the present invention is to eliminate, or at least greatly reduce, the above drawbacks.
  • the present invention makes it possible to significantly raise the automation level of the dyeing cycle, thus releasing the operators from doing the most difficult operations, such as the metering and the filling of shaker's containers, thereby reducing the risk related to possible handling errors, and increasing the reliability and uniformity of the dyeing cycles, while increasing the safety of work for the operators at the same time.
  • an apparatus 1 can be used for preparing colouring substances intended, in particular, for the textile industry.
  • the apparatus 1 comprises means 2 for the controlled withdrawal and delivery of preset quantities of products for the preparation of colouring substances, and a stirring device or shaker 3 for vibrating and heating one or more containers 30 intended for receiving the said products and the materials to be dyed.
  • the means 2 for the controlled withdrawal and delivery comprise a support plane 4 upon which a plurality of bottles are disposed for holding products for the preparation of colouring substances.
  • a support plane 4 upon which a plurality of bottles are disposed for holding products for the preparation of colouring substances.
  • one bottle 40 only has been shown upon the plane 4, for the sake of clarity; it is understood, however, that the bottles will be in greater number, and possibly disposed throughout the surface of the plane 4, when holding different chemical products, water, etc.
  • an operating head 5 Disposed and acting on the plane 4 is an operating head 5 which supports a withdrawal member 50 which is movable longitudinally, transversally and vertically with respect to the plane 4, and is automatically operated by through suitable software.
  • the withdrawal member 50 may be of volumetric type and consisting of a single or multiple pipette. The characteristics of said means 2 for the controlled withdrawal and delivery will not be described in greater detail as they are well known to those skilled in the art.
  • dyeing machines comprising a platform upon which there are positioned, in a preset order, a plurality of bottles able to hold preset amounts of products which contribute to the formation, when properly metered, of dyeing baths within suitable containers or cups.
  • the patent US-6105636 describes a machine comprising a horizontal platform on which there are positioned bottles containing the basic products, as well as means associated with a movable carriage above said platform, in order to remove, according to a program, the products from said bottles and metering them within other containers inside which the solutions are formed for the dyeing tanks.
  • the withdrawal member 50 can be disposed, automatically, in correspondence of the bottles 40 to perform the withdrawal of the products held therein, and it can be displaced as far as to result in correspondence of one or more containers 30 of the shaker 3, in order to pour therein the products previously removed in properly preset amounts.
  • Fig. 4 Shown in Fig. 4 are some operating steps that the present apparatus is able to perform in a fully automatic manner.
  • the operating head 5 with the hold member 50, has already taken out one or more products from the bottles 40 disposed onto the plane 4.
  • the head 5 moves up above the shaker 3 in correspondence of one of containers 30 in order to pour therein, during the step (c), the products previously taken out from the bottles 40.
  • the head is lifted to move back, in the step (e) as shown, onto the plane 4 for a further operation.
  • the shaker 3 has a containment structure (38) which is supported by a base structure 39 holding the containers 30.
  • the arrows v indicate schematically the movement of the structure 38 which allows putting the containers under vibration with the relevant content.
  • the arrows H indicate the container's heating action which, together with the said vibration, optimizes the dyeing process of the materials held therein.
