- each container is placed on the weight scale 51a of the receiving station S1 by a pusher (not shown), etc.
- the control unit determines whether the amount of dyeing solution, etc., contained is appropriate in comparison with a predetermined weight value. When the amount is deemed to be inappropriate, an alarm or the like is output, and the operation is suspended. When the amount is deemed to be appropriate, the control unit activates the horizontal drive unit 52 and vertical drive unit 54 to move the chuck member 90 to the receiving station S1.

- the horizontally moving body 70 and lifting body 80 are simultaneously activated to thereby move the chuck member 90 linearly to the rotary dyeing device 1.
- the chuck member 90 inserts the container 2 between the rotating table 10 and lid 27 by the action of the back-and-forth drive unit 56.
- the tips of the holding pawls 93 and 93 are expanded by the action of the chuck opening/closing unit to thereby place the container 2 on the rotating table 10.
- the rotary dyeing device 1 activates the pressing unit 20 to press the lid 27 against the container 2 from above. Accordingly, the container 2 is sealed with the lid 27, and the container 2 and lid 27 are rotatably held between the rotating table 10 and the pressing body 24. Thereafter, the tilting unit 30 is activated to tilt the container 2, as shown in Fig. 4 .
- the container 2 is tilted so that the axis of the container is approximately horizontal; however, the container 2 may be tilted obliquely upward or obliquely downward.
- the pressure release pipe 26 extends upward in the container 2, and the open end of the pressure release pipe 26 is exposed above the liquid level of the dyeing solution so that the interior space of the container 2 communicates with the outside of the container 2.
- the thermocouple 29 extends downward in the container 2 to measure the temperature of the dyeing solution.
- the drive unit 40 can automatically rotate each container 2 by the drive belt 43 in conjunction with the tilting of the container 2 and can individually rotate the plurality of rotating tables 10.
- the container 2 rotates together with the lid 27, and the contained material C is dyed with the dyeing solution L, as illustrated by dashed lines in Fig. 4 .
- the amount of dyeing solution L stored is generally determined so that the liquid level is positioned slightly below the axis of the container 2 in the tilted state.
- the pressure release pipe 26 always faces upward during rotation of the container 2 and releases the internal pressure increase following the increase in the internal temperature of the container 2.
- the temperature of the dyeing solution can be controlled in accordance with a predetermined temperature control pattern by controlling the output of the heating unit based on the measurement of the thermocouple 29. Since this embodiment comprises, other than the heaters 8, the cooling unit for spraying cooling water on the outer surface of the container 2, when the temperature of the dyeing solution is required to be decreased during dyeing, the temperature can be rapidly changed to a preset temperature. Therefore, dyeing can be performed in accordance with a desired temperature control pattern by using a known control method, such as PID control. For example, the temperature can be slowly decreased by controlling the output of the heaters 8, whereas the temperature can be rapidly decreased by controlling the output of the heaters 8 while supplying cooling water from the cooling water nozzle 9. Although the flow rate of cooling water is constant in this embodiment, the flow rate can be controlled depending on the target temperature.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the entire structure of an automatic dyeing device according to one embodiment of the present invention.Figure 2 is a perspective view of one unit of rotary dyeing devices shown inFig. 1 viewed from the direction of arrow A.Figures 3 and4 respectively show a B-B cross-sectional view and C-C cross-sectional view ofFig 2 . - As shown in
Fig. 1 , theautomatic dyeing device 100 comprises a plurality ofrotary dyeing devices 1 that dye materials to be dyed by individually rotating containers in which the materials and dyeing solutions are placed, and comprises acontainer carrier 50 that carries the container to eachrotary dyeing device 1. In this embodiment, therotary dyeing devices 1 are arranged in a matrix form in such a manner that three rotary dyeing devices arranged in the horizontal direction (X-direction) form one unit, and four units are arranged in a multilevel configuration in the vertical direction (Z-direction). - As shown in
Fig. 11 , thecontainer 2 is in a cylindrical shape with a bottom and anopening 2A at the top thereof, and internally has anaccommodation space 2B for accommodating materials to be dyed, such as socks and underwear. In order for thecontainer 2 to well absorb far-infrared rays emitted from a heater 8 (described later), the outer surface of thecontainer 2 is surface-treated so as to have an absorption wavelength of 2 to 20 µm. For example, in this embodiment, the outer surface of thecontainer 2 is coated with a matte black paint, etc. (blackening treatment). Because the ability to absorb far-infrared rays is imparted to thecontainer 2 in this manner, when theheater 8 emits far-infrared rays to heat thecontainer 2, thecontainer 2 can absorb far-infrared rays well, and the heat-receiving efficiency of thecontainer 2 can be enhanced. The color of the outer surface of thecontainer 2 is not necessarily limited to black, and various colors can be used as long as they have sufficient far-infrared ray absorption efficiency. Moreover, the outer surface of thecontainer 2 preferably has a matte, satin-finished rough surface, whereas a mirror-finished surface is not preferable because it reflects far-infrared rays. - The inner surface of the
container 2 is provided with a plurality of longitudinally elongated convex portions 2C (three convex portions in this embodiment) extending in the height direction of thecontainer 2 and arranged at equiangular positions. As will be described in detail later, when a material to be dyed is dyed by rotating thecontainer 2 lying on its side in which the material and a dyeing solution are placed, the convex portions 2C churn the material in thecontainer 2 while stirring to thereby sufficiently mix the material with the dyeing solution. Consequently, the dyeing solution can be uniformly applied to the material without unevenness, and the resulting dyed material has excellent quality. In this embodiment, a plurality of convex portions 2C are provided in the inner surface of thecontainer 2 at equal intervals; however, the convex portions are not necessarily provided at equal intervals. The number of convex portions 2C may be one. Alternatively, the inner surface of thecontainer 2 may be formed into an irregular surface in which a plurality of convex portions and a plurality of concave portions alternate consecutively in a circumferential direction. The convex portion 2C is positioned at a predetermined distance from the upper edge of thecontainer 2 so that, when alid 27 is fitted in thecontainer 2, aplate 27a (described later) on the back side of thelid 27 does not come into contact with the convex portion 2C in thecontainer 2. - Each of the
rotary dyeing devices 1 is configured to be capable of holding acontainer 2 and has a rotating table 10, apressing unit 20, and atilting unit 30, as shown inFigs. 2 to 4 .Figure 2 shows thecontainers 2 that are tilted almost horizontally (in Y-direction ofFig. 1 ). - The rotating table 10 has a disk-like shape and is rotatably supported by a mounting
frame 4 via abearing unit 6. - The
pressing unit 20 comprises a pressing cylinder 21 (e.g., an air cylinder) attached to the mountingframe 4, atransmission shaft 23, one end of which is connected to the tip of arod 21a of thepressing cylinder 21 via a connectingplate 22, and a plate-likepressing body 24 attached to the other end of thetransmission shaft 23. Thepressing cylinder 21 andtransmission shaft 23 are arranged approximately parallel to the rotational axis of the rotating table 10. Thepressing body 24 is disposed opposing the rotating table 10. As shown inFig. 4 , a fixingshaft 25 is fixed to thepressing body 24. - The fixing
shaft 25 has ahollow portion 25a formed along the axis of the fixingshaft 25 and penetrates through thepressing body 24 so that the axis of the fixingshaft 25 conforms to the rotational axis of the rotating table 10. One end of thehollow portion 25a facing the rotating table 10 is connected to apressure release pipe 26, and the other end of thehollow portion 25a communicates with the outside via acommunication port 25b. Thepressure release pipe 26 is arranged to extend upwardly when thecontainer 2 is tilted, as shown inFig. 4 . Moreover, athermocouple 29 is inserted from the other end of thehollow portion 25a. Thethermocouple 29 has a temperature sensing portion 29a arranged to extend downwardly via one end of thehollow portion 25a. The portion of the fixingshaft 25 where thethermocouple 29 is inserted is sealed in a fluid-tight manner to prevent leakage of the dyeing solution from thecontainer 2. Thepressure release pipe 26 andthermocouple 29 are covered with theplate 27a (described later) provided in thelid 27. - The
pressing unit 20 comprises thelid 27 for tightly sealing the opening of thecontainer 2. Thelid 27 has a bearingunit 28 fixed in the center of the surface. The fixingshaft 25 of thepressing body 24 is inserted into an opening formed in the center of thelid 27 via the bearingunit 28 and rotatably supports thelid 27. The bearingunit 28 is composed of anannular case 28a and a rollingbearing 28b housed in thecase 28a. Thepressing body 24 is brought into contact with thecase 28a of the bearingunit 28 to press thelid 27, so that thelid 27 is closely attached to the circumferential edge of thecontainer 2. As shown in the enlarged view ofFig. 6 , awasher 201 is provided between thepressing body 24 and thebearing 28b. Thelid 27 is pressed by a pressing force applied to thepressing body 24 in the direction indicated by the arrow, via thewasher 201, bearing 28b, andcase 28a. Anannular packing 202 is fitted onto one end of the fixingshaft 25, and the fixingshaft 25 andlid 27 are sealed in a fluid-tight manner by the packing 202. - As shown in
Figs. 3 to 5 , the back side of thelid 27 is provided with theplate 27a having a diameter smaller than that of thelid 27 via aspacer 27b, and agap portion 27c is accordingly formed between thelid 27 and theplate 27a. Thepressure release pipe 26 andthermocouple 29 are disposed in thegap portion 27c so that a material C to be dyed is prevented from being caught on thepressure release pipe 26 orthermocouple 29 during dyeing. The outside diameter of theplate 27a is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of thecontainer 2. This allows the communication between the interior space of thecontainer 2 and thegap portion 27c. Consequently, the dyeing solution enters into thegap portion 27c during dyeing and is thus brought into contact with thethermocouple 29, and the interior space of thecontainer 2 communicates with the outside of thecontainer 2 via thepressure release pipe 26. - The
pressing unit 20 may be configured to seal thecontainer 2 with thelid 27 and rotatably hold thecontainer 2 andlid 27. For example, the configuration of thepressing unit 20 may be such that a U-shaped frame rotatably supports the rotating table 10 in one of the opposing faces of the frame and supports thepressing body 24 in the other face via a driving cylinder so that thepressing body 24 is movable forward and backward. Thecontainer 2,lid 27, and other parts to be in contact with the dyeing solution are preferably made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel. - The tilting
unit 30 comprises a tilting cylinder 32 (e.g., an air cylinder) attached to a supportingframe 31, and the tip of arod 32a of the tiltingcylinder 32 is fixed to the mountingframe 4. The mountingframe 4 is supported by a rotatingshaft 33 so as to be rotatable relative to the supportingframe 31. When the rod of the tiltingcylinder 32 is moved forward and backward, the mountingframe 4 rotates to change the posture of thecontainer 2 between the standing state shown inFig. 5 and the tilted state shown inFig. 4 . - Moreover, the
rotary dyeing device 1 comprises arotation drive unit 40 that rotates thecontainer 2 mounted on the rotating table 10. Therotation drive unit 40 includes a drivingpulley 41 and a drivenpulley 42 attached to the supportingframe 31, and anendless drive belt 43 wound around the drivingpulley 41 and drivenpulley 42. The supportingframe 31 is provided with atension roller 44, which imparts tension to thedrive belt 43. The drivingpulley 41 is connected to the rotating shaft of adrive motor 45 and rotationally drives thedrive belt 43 in one direction. The drivenpulley 42 has agroove 42a formed along the outer surface thereof. Thedrive belt 43 is arranged so that the bottom side of the belt is brought into contact with the outer circumferential edge of the rotating table 10 in thegroove 42a of the drivenpulley 42 when eachcontainer 2 is tilted, and thedrive belt 43 rotationally drives the rotating table 10 by friction. In this embodiment, thecontainers 2 in the threerotary dyeing devices 1 are rotated by onerotation drive unit 40, thereby achieving downsizing of the structure; however, therotation drive unit 40 may be provided in eachrotary dyeing device 1. - Furthermore, the
rotary dyeing device 1 comprises heaters 8 (e.g., far-infrared heaters) arranged in both right and left sides of the rotating table 10 so as to extend along the axis of the tiltedcontainer 2. To efficiently heat thecontainer 2, each of theheaters 8 is covered with areflector 8a and is attached to the supportingframe 31 via a stay (not shown). - The
heaters 8 may be various heaters, such as infrared heaters and IH (electromagnetic induction heating) heaters, other than far-infrared heaters. When infrared heaters, IH (electromagnetic induction heating) heaters, etc., are used as theheaters 8, it is preferable for improving the heat-receiving efficiency of thecontainer 2 to select a suitable material of thecontainer 2 depending on each heater, or to apply surface treatment to the outer surface of thecontainer 2. - Additionally, the
rotary dyeing device 1 comprises a cooling water nozzle 9 for supplying cooling water to the side surface of the tiltedcontainer 2, as shown only inFig. 4 . The cooling water nozzle 9 is fixed to the supportingframe 31 at a position so close as not to interfere with thecontainer 2 so that cooling water can be supplied from a cooling water tank (not shown) to the side surface of thecontainer 2 by the action of a pump and an electromagnetic valve disposed in the flow path. The tip of the cooling water nozzle 9 is provided with two coolingwater spray ports container 2. In this embodiment, the cooling water nozzle 9 is disposed above thecontainer 2 so as to spray cooling water to the side surface of thecontainer 2 from the upside of thecontainer 2, as shown inFig. 4 ; however, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the cooling water nozzle 9 may be disposed below thecontainer 2 so as to spray cooling water to the side surface of thecontainer 2 from the downside of thecontainer 2. In addition, water is used as a cooling medium in this embodiment, but can be replaced with liquid or gas having cooling capacity. - The
container carrier 50 comprises, as shown inFigs. 1 and7 , a supportingframe 60 including a plurality ofvertical columns 61 and a plurality ofhorizontal beams 62, a horizontally movingbody 70 supported by the supportingframe 60 so as to be movable in the horizontal direction (X-direction), a liftingbody 80 provided in the horizontally movingbody 70 so as to be movable up and down in the vertical direction (Z-direction), and achuck member 90 provided in the liftingbody 80 so as to be movable forward and backward in the anteroposterior direction (Y-direction). In the supportingframe 60, a pair ofguide rails horizontal beams 62 connected to the lower ends of thevertical columns 61. - The horizontally moving
body 70 is configured such that anupper block 72 and alower block 71 are connected to each other via a pair ofguide rods lower block 71 are engaged with the pair ofguide rails - As shown in the enlarged view of
Fig. 8 (a) , the liftingbody 80 is configured such that a pair ofbrackets stays plates brackets guide members chuck member 90. The outer sides of thebrackets insertion blocks guide rods - In the
chuck member 90, as also shown inFig. 8 (a) , a pair of plate-like base members rotating shafts base members 91. The rotatingshafts pawls pawls rotating shafts pawls shafts like lever members lever members projections Fig. 8 (b) ) rotatably mounted in thelever members coupler 95. The grooves 95a and 95a extend along the longitudinal direction of thelever members chuck member 90 is opened or closed, theprojections - Moreover, the
container carrier 50 comprises, as shown inFig. 7 , ahorizontal drive unit 52 for driving the horizontally movingbody 70 in the X-direction, avertical drive unit 54 for driving the liftingbody 80 in the Z-direction, and a back-and-forth drive unit 56 for driving thechuck member 90 in the Y-direction, and further comprises a chuck opening/closing unit (not shown) for opening and closing thechuck member 90. - The
horizontal drive unit 52 has a pair of timingpulleys pulleys horizontal beams 62 of the supportingframe 60. Anendless timing belt 52c is suspended between each pair of timingpulleys upper block 72 andlower block 71 of the horizontally movingbody 70 are fixed to the upper andlower timing belts shaft 52d so that they are integrally rotated. Anothertiming belt 52 g is wound and suspended between the upper timing pulley. 52a and a timingpulley 52f provided in the output shaft of aservomotor 52e. Because of this structure of thehorizontal drive unit 52, the upper andlower timing belts servomotor 52e, thereby moving the horizontally movingbody 70 along the pair ofguide rails - The
vertical drive unit 54 has a pair of timingpulleys upper block 72 andlower block 71 of the horizontally movingbody 70. The pair of timingpulleys body 70 along the horizontal direction (X-direction). Anendless timing belt 54c is suspended between each pair of timingpulleys brackets body 80 are fixed to the right and lefttiming belts Fig. 8 ). The upper timing pulleys 54a and 54a are connected to each other by a connectingshaft 54d so that they are integrally rotated. Anothertiming belt 54g is wound and suspended between one timingpulley 54a and a timingpulley 54f provided in the output shaft of aservomotor 54e. Because of this structure of thevertical drive unit 54, the right and lefttiming belts servomotor 54e, thereby moving the liftingbody 80 along the pair ofguide rods - The back-and-
forth drive unit 56 is composed of a rodless cylinder fixed between the pair of connectingplates brackets Fig. 9 , which is viewed from obliquely downward. The back-and-forth drive unit 56 accommodates a piston and a magnet (not shown) therein. Compressed air is selectively introduced from air induction ports of both ends of the back-and-forth drive unit 56 to thereby move the piston and magnet forward and backward (Y-direction). Then, the magnet sticks to another magnet provided in the back side of thechuck member 90 to work with thechuck member 90. Because of this structure, the back-and-forth drive unit 56 can drive thechuck member 90 in the back-and-forth direction. - The chuck opening/closing unit is composed of an air cylinder, which is omitted in
Figs. 8 and9 . The rod of the air cylinder is coupled with thecoupler 95 to thereby move thecoupler 95 forward and backward (Y-direction). The chuck opening/closing unit moves thechuck member 90 from the state shown inFig. 8 (a) forward in the back-and-forth direction (Y-direction), as shown inFig. 8 (b) , and further drives thecoupler 95 forward to thereby open the holding pawls 93 and 93, so that thecontainer 2 held by thechuck member 90 is placed on therotary dyeing device 1. In addition, after the completion of dyeing in therotary dyeing device 1, thecontainer 2 on therotary dyeing device 1 can be held again by performing this operation in reverse order. - As described above, the
horizontal drive unit 52,vertical drive unit 54, and back-and-forth drive unit 56 function as a triaxial driving means for driving thechuck member 90 along the three mutually perpendicular axial directions (x-, y-, and z-axes). The behaviors of thehorizontal drive unit 52,vertical drive unit 54, and back-and-forth drive unit 56 are controlled by a control unit (not shown), together with the chuck opening/closing unit and therotary dyeing device 1. - Moreover, the
automatic dyeing device 100 comprises, as shown inFig. 1 , a receiving station S1, an intermediate station S2, and a discharge station S3 in an area that allows thecontainer carrier 50 to carry thecontainers 2.

For example, piezoelectric elements, strain gauge weight sensors, capacitance type weight sensors, etc., can be used. - Additionally, the
automatic dyeing device 100 further comprises an addition unit for adding dyeing assistants, such as salt cake and soda ash. A supply nozzle 53 of the addition unit is disposed above the intermediate station S2 so that dyeing assistants are added from the upper opening of thecontainer 2. - The discharge station S3 is equipped with a
discharge conveyor 51c (e.g., a belt conveyor). Thecontainer 2 placed on thedischarge conveyor 51c is carried to a post-treatment device (not shown) that performs neutralization or washing. - The following describes the behavior of the
automatic dyeing device 100 having the above structure. A material to be dyed, such as cotton or chemical fiber (e.g., nylon, polyester (cation-dyeable polyester), and acrylic), is placed in eachcontainer 2, in which a dyeing solution and dyeing assistants suitable for the material are poured in advance. Thecontainer 2 thus containing the material and dyeing solution is placed on the receiving conveyor (not shown) with the top of the container open. After thecontainers 2 are sequentially carried in the vicinity of the receiving station S1, each container is placed on theweight scale 51a of the receiving station S1 by a pusher (not shown), etc. When a detection signal of theweight scale 51a is input, the control unit determines whether the amount of dyeing solution, etc., contained is appropriate in comparison with a predetermined weight value. When the amount is deemed to be inappropriate, an alarm or the like is output, and the operation is suspended. When the amount is deemed to be appropriate, the control unit activates thehorizontal drive unit 52 andvertical drive unit 54 to move thechuck member 90 to the receiving station S1. Then, thechuck member 90 holds thecontainer 2 by the action of the back-and-forth drive unit 56. Onerotary dyeing device 1 is selected from those in a halted state, and the container is carried to the selectedrotary dyeing device 1. - The movement rates of the horizontally moving
body 70 and liftingbody 80 by the action of thehorizontal drive unit 52 andvertical drive unit 54 can be individually set on the basis of coordinates in the X-Z plane of the receiving station S1 and coordinates in the X-Z plane of therotary dyeing device 1, which is the destination. The horizontally movingbody 70 and liftingbody 80 are simultaneously activated to thereby move thechuck member 90 linearly to therotary dyeing device 1. - When the
rotary dyeing device 1 is in the not-used state, the space between the rotating table 10, which is in a horizontal state, and thelid 27 is previously expanded by the action of thepressing unit 20 and tiltingunit 30. After carrying thecontainer 2 to therotary dyeing device 1, thechuck member 90 inserts thecontainer 2 between the rotating table 10 andlid 27 by the action of the back-and-forth drive unit 56. The tips of the holding pawls 93 and 93 are expanded by the action of the chuck opening/closing unit to thereby place thecontainer 2 on the rotating table 10. - When a sensor, etc., detects the placement of the
container 2 on the rotating table 10, therotary dyeing device 1 activates thepressing unit 20 to press thelid 27 against thecontainer 2 from above. Accordingly, thecontainer 2 is sealed with thelid 27, and thecontainer 2 andlid 27 are rotatably held between the rotating table 10 and thepressing body 24. Thereafter, the tiltingunit 30 is activated to tilt thecontainer 2, as shown inFig. 4 . In this embodiment, thecontainer 2 is tilted so that the axis of the container is approximately horizontal; however, thecontainer 2 may be tilted obliquely upward or obliquely downward. When thecontainer 2 is in the tilted state, thepressure release pipe 26 extends upward in thecontainer 2, and the open end of thepressure release pipe 26 is exposed above the liquid level of the dyeing solution so that the interior space of thecontainer 2 communicates with the outside of thecontainer 2. On the other hand, thethermocouple 29 extends downward in thecontainer 2 to measure the temperature of the dyeing solution. - When the
container 2 is in the tilted state, the inside of thecontainer 2 is heated by theheaters 8, while the outer circumferential edge of the rotating table 10 is brought into contact with thedrive belt 43 to initiate rotation of the rotating table 10. Thus, thedrive unit 40 can automatically rotate eachcontainer 2 by thedrive belt 43 in conjunction with the tilting of thecontainer 2 and can individually rotate the plurality of rotating tables 10. - Thus, the
container 2 rotates together with thelid 27, and the contained material C is dyed with the dyeing solution L, as illustrated by dashed lines inFig. 4 . The amount of dyeing solution L stored is generally determined so that the liquid level is positioned slightly below the axis of thecontainer 2 in the tilted state. Thepressure release pipe 26 always faces upward during rotation of thecontainer 2 and releases the internal pressure increase following the increase in the internal temperature of thecontainer 2. - The temperature of the dyeing solution can be controlled in accordance with a predetermined temperature control pattern by controlling the output of the heating unit based on the measurement of the
thermocouple 29. Since this embodiment comprises, other than theheaters 8, the cooling unit for spraying cooling water on the outer surface of thecontainer 2, when the temperature of the dyeing solution is required to be decreased during dyeing, the temperature can be rapidly changed to a preset temperature. Therefore, dyeing can be performed in accordance with a desired temperature control pattern by using a known control method, such as PID control. For example, the temperature can be slowly decreased by controlling the output of theheaters 8, whereas the temperature can be rapidly decreased by controlling the output of theheaters 8 while supplying cooling water from the cooling water nozzle 9. Although the flow rate of cooling water is constant in this embodiment, the flow rate can be controlled depending on the target temperature. - After dyeing of the material is completed after a predetermined time has passed, the tilting
unit 30 is activated again to return thecontainer 2 to the standing position shown inFig. 5 . Subsequently, thepressing unit 20 is activated to lift thelid 27, releasing the sealing of thecontainer 2. In response to this operation, the control unit moves thechuck member 90 to therotary dyeing device 1 by the action of thehorizontal drive unit 52 andvertical drive unit 54. Thechuck member 90 holds thecontainer 2 again by the action of the back-and-forth drive unit 56 and chuck opening/closing unit, and is then moved to the discharge station S3. In the discharge station S3, thecontainer 2 is placed on thedischarge conveyor 51c and transferred to a post-treatment device that performs neutralization, washing, etc. When a sensor, etc., detects the removal of thecontainer 2, therotary dyeing device 1 outputs a signal indicating that it is in a not-used state to the control unit, and therotary dyeing device 1 enters a state that allows therotary dyeing device 1 to receive anothercontainer 2. - According to the
rotary dyeing device 1 of this embodiment, thecontainer 2 containing a material to be dyed and a dyeing solution can be automatically sealed, tilted, rotated, and opened by placing thecontainer 2 on the rotating table 10, and dyeing can be efficiently and quickly carried out in sequentially transferredcontainers 2. Therefore, therotary dyeing device 1 can be particularly suitably used as a dyeing device for multi-type, small-lot dyeing. - Further, according to the
automatic dyeing device 100 of this embodiment, the container-carryingmeans 50 inserts eachcontainer 2 horizontally between the rotating table 10 andlid 27 of each of the plurality ofrotary dyeing devices 1 for dyeing materials to be dyed. Because of this structure, eachrotary dyeing device 1 can quickly start dyeing, the material in thecontainer 2 received therein. - Additionally, since dyeing can be performed while changing dyeing conditions as desired, such as the type of dyeing solution, dyeing temperature, and dyeing time, for every
rotary dyeing device 1, theautomatic dyeing device 100 can flexibly deal with multi-type, small-lot dyeing. Furthermore, even when the dyeing time varies in eachrotary dyeing device 1, immediately after dyeing is completed in anyrotary dyeing device 1, thecontainer 2 is replaced by anothercontainer 2, and the sequent dyeing can be started, regardless of the order of supplying thecontainers 2 to therotary dyeing devices 1. Hence, the production lead time can be shortened. - Moreover, even when a number of
rotary dyeing devices 1 are disposed, the structure of this embodiment, in which thechuck member 90 is triaxially driven by thehorizontal drive unit 52,vertical drive unit 54, and back-and-forth drive unit 56, allows quick and easy delivery of thecontainers 2 to eachrotary dyeing device 1. - In the explanation of the above embodiment, the
container 2 carried into the receiving station S1 is conveyed by thecontainer carrier 50 to any of therotary dyeing devices 1. After dyeing of the material in the container, the container is conveyed again by thecontainer carrier 50 to the discharge station S3. However, for example, when a material made of cellulose fibers, such as cotton or cupra, is dyed to a deep color, the container may be carried to the intermediate station S2 by thecontainer carrier 50 for temporary placement after the material is dyed in therotary dyeing device 1. In the intermediate station S2, soda ash, etc., can be added from the supply nozzle 53 of the addition unit disposed above thecontainer 2. When theweight scale 51b detects the addition of a predetermined amount, the control unit conveys thecontainer 2 again to therotary dyeing device 1 in a halted state. After the dyeing process is continued for a predetermined time, thecontainer carrier 50 conveys thecontainer 2 to the discharge station S3. Thus, theautomatic dyeing device 100 of this embodiment ensures prompt response when the addition of dyeing assistants is required during dyeing of the material. - In the above embodiment, three
rotary dyeing devices 1 form one unit, and a plurality of the units (four units in this embodiment) are arranged in a multilevel configuration in the vertical direction, so that the plurality ofrotary dyeing devices 1 are arranged in a matrix form, and thecontainer 2 is conveyed to eachrotary dyeing device 1 by thecontainer carrier 50 movable in the X- and Z-directions; however, the arrangement of therotary dyeing devices 1 is not necessarily limited to this embodiment, and the rotary dyeing devices can be arranged in various forms. Further, for example, thecontainer 2 may be held by a robot hand, etc., and conveyed to eachrotary dyeing device 1. - In the above embodiment, the
hollow portion 25a is formed inside the fixingshaft 25 of therotary dyeing device 1, and the interior space of thecontainer 2 communicates with the outside of thecontainer 2 via thepressure release pipe 26 connected to one end of thehollow portion 25a and thecommunication port 25b provided in the other end of thehollow portion 25a. Thereby, the internal pressure increase following the increase in the internal temperature of thecontainer 2 due to heating during dyeing is released, and the pressure of the interior space of thecontainer 2 is maintained at near-atmospheric pressure. However, thecontainer 2 may be configured as a pressure container. More specifically, without providing thepressure release pipe 26 andcommunication port 25b in the fixingshaft 25, thecontainer 2 is sealed with thelid 27, and the degree of sealing between thecontainer 2 andlid 27 is increased. Accordingly, dyeing of the material can be carried out at temperatures as high as 100°C or more, associated with heating during dyeing. - Additionally, the
rotary dyeing device 1 may be configured to dye a material to be dyed in a container whose opening is sealed with a lid in advance. For example, as shown inFig. 10 , arotary dyeing device 110 comprises a plurality of rotatable supportingrollers 111 that support acontainer 2 whose opening is closed with alid 2a so that the axis of the container is horizontal, a drivingroller 112 supported above thecontainer 2 so as to be movable up and down and rotated by a motor (not shown), and a pair ofstoppers container 2 to rotatably hold thecontainer 2, wherein thestopper 113 in contact with the top surface of thecontainer 2 can move forward and backward along the axis of thecontainer 2. By a container carrier (not shown), therotary dyeing device 110 conveys thecontainer 2 in which a material C to be dyed and a dyeing solution L are placed and which is sealed in advance with alid 2a. When the container is placed on the supportingrollers 111, the placement is detected by a sensor (not shown), and thestopper 113 is moved forward to hold thecontainer 2 between thestoppers roller 112 is lowered and brought into contact with the body of thecontainer 2 to transmit rotational driving force. Consequently, thecontainer 2 is rotated sealed with thelid 2a, thereby dyeing the material C. - In this embodiment, the
rotary dyeing device 1 is used to dye a material to be dyed; however, therotary dyeing device 1 having the above-described structure can also be used to, for example, perform after-treatment (e.g., neutralization, washing, fixing, and softening) on the material after dyeing. More specifically, the material after dyeing (processed material) and various treatment solutions (e.g., neutralizing solutions, cleaning solutions, fix-treatment solutions including dye-fixing agents, and soft-treatment solutions including softeners) are placed in thecontainer 2, and thecontainer 2 is rotated to thereby treat the processed material with various treatment solutions. -
