Definitions

  • the present invention relates to dying technology and more particularly, to a multi-container dyeing machine, which enables the dyeing containers to be rotated and shaken and can separately control the dyeing temperature in every individual dyeing container and quantitative feeding of chemicals to every individual dyeing container.
  • Regular textile dyeing machines are generally of a multi-container design. These multi-container design textile dyeing machines are suitable for dyeing multiple pieces of fabric at a time. When performing a dyeing process, it must be layouted subject to the physical properties of the fabric and dyeing agent to perform temperature-rising, temperature-maintaining, temperature-lowering and agent-feeding steps properly, thereby achieving a uniform dyeing effect.
  • regular dyeing machines commonly adopt a single temperature control, i.e., sensing one single spot in the machine base, and use only one single heater to heat the whole machine base. In consequence, the operating speed is low (refer to US Pat. No.6302168 B1 ).
  • conventional dyeing machines are of a multi-container design, they simply provide one reference temperature. These dyeing machines can simply dye fabrics in the multiple containers with one same dyeing agent, or dyeing agents having similar characteristics so that the temperature of the multiple containers can be simultaneously raised or lowered. Therefore, conventional dyeing machines are not practical for dyeing different fabrics with different dyeing agents in the multiple containers at a time.
  • auxiliary agent may be used to accelerate the chemical reaction of the applied dyeing agent.
  • the feeding of an auxiliary agent is to be performed manually.
  • the operator must interrupt the dyeing process (i.e., shut down the dyeing machine) and then resume the dyeing process after feeding of the auxiliary agent.
  • Manually feeding an auxiliary agent cannot accurately control the quality and requires much labor. If the auxiliary agent is not properly applied, the dyeing result may be not acceptable. In this case, the fabric may have to be abandoned, and the dyeing process may have to be performed again.
  • the present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is one object of the present invention to provide a multi-container dyeing machine, which enables the temperature of each of multiple containers thereof to be individually and accurately controlled to perform a respective dyeing process.
