Description

    (a) Technical Field of the Invention
  • The present invention generally relates to a conveyor drive fabric dyeing machine that is used to dye rope-like fabric, and more particularly to a control method for achieving operation synchronization of fabric and a reel and a conveyor.
    • (b) Description of the Prior Art
  • FIG 1 shows a structure of a conveyor drive fabric dyeing machine, which comprises a machine body 1 in which a dyeing tube 12, a reel 4, and a conveyor 2 are arranged. The reel 4 is driven to rotate by a reel motor (not shown). The conveyor 2 is driven and operated by a conveyor motor (not shown).
  • The principle of operation is as follows. Fabric 3 moves around the reel 4 and passes through a nozzle 5 to enter the dyeing tube 12 and then falls onto the conveyor 2 to complete a cycle of circulation. Dye liquid L is pressurized by a pump 7 to flow through a heat exchanger 8 (for heating or cooling) to enter the nozzle 5 for generating a jetting or overflowing hydraulic power that drives the fabric 3 into the dyeing tube 12. The fabric 3 that exits the dyeing tube 12 is allowed to fall back to the conveyor 2 and the conveyor 2 conveys the fabric 3 forward to pass through an idler 41 and the reel 4 to repeatedly proceed with the above-described circulation cycle. In such a circulation cycle, a control box 9 controls the operation and dye and chemical agents are supplied from a service tank 11 and pressurized by the pump 7 to feed into a dye liquid circulation loop of the dyeing machine. During the circulation, the dye liquid L and the fabric 3 undergo a process of heating, temperature holding, and cooling achieved with the heat exchanger 8 to have the dye absorbed by the fabric thereby achieving a dyeing effect of scouring, coloring, color fixing, and water rinsing.
  • The conveyor 2 and the reel 4 are respectively driven by the conveyor motor (not shown) and the reel motor (not shown) to operate, while the fabric is driven by the reel 4 to move. During the process of circulation, the time period that the fabric needs for each cycle of circulation must be identical to the time period that the conveyor takes to move from a rear end to a front end. In other words, the two must be operated in a synchronous manner, otherwise fabric entangling or jamming may result. Practically, the length or weight of fabric for each dyeing batch would be different so that the adjustment for synchronization is generally time consuming and difficult and oftentimes, poor machine operation or low operation efficiency result.
  • Prior art patent documents are known, such as DE 20 2014 104073 U1 , DE 20 2014104532 U2 , and EP 1 865 097 A1 . These documents provide dyeing machine that controls the speeds of a reel and a conveyor to be in conformity with each other. This is achieved by means of sensors or detectors to detect the speed of the reel and/or the conveyor and/or fabric in order to control the operation of the reel or the conveyor. This complicates the structure of the dyeing machine and increases the cost thereof.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome the problem of unsmooth conveyance of fabric resulting from operation speeds of fabric driven by a reel and a conveyor of a dyeing machine being hard to be in synchronization with each other during a circulation cycle.
  • To overcome such a problem, a computer or a programmable logic controller (PLC) control unit is included to automatically operate for computation and supply of a signal, based on data of fabric length or fabric weight and data of fabric unit weight fed to the computer or control unit, to a speed controller (such as an inverter) of a reel motor and a speed controller (such as an inverter) of a conveyor motor so as to make the reel motor and the conveyor motor rotate together with speeds that are of a predetermined ratio with respect to each other so that the speeds of the fabric and the conveyor are synchronized with each other and the circulation of the fabric can be performed smoothly.
  • The present invention provides a control method for a dyeing machine provided with a driven reel and a driven conveyor for circulating fabric in the dyeing machine, wherein during a dyeing process of fabric, a computer or a programmable logic controller (PLC) control unit is electrically connected with a reel motor and a conveyor motor of the fabric dyeing machine. The computer or PLC control unit is supplied with fabric length data or, alternatively, fabric weight data and fabric unit weight data, and, based on such data, performs an automatic operation of computation and supplies a signal to a speed controller of the reel motor and a speed controller of the conveyor motor to make the reel motor and the conveyor motor rotate respectively at speeds that are of a predetermined ratio with respect to each other so that the fabric is driven by the reel to move at a speed that is in synchronization with a speed of the conveyor.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that it is not necessary to fix the length of fabric to be dyed and, regardless the length and weight of the fabric, the computer or PLC control unit performs automatic computation and controls the reel and the conveyor and the fabric to achieve operation synchronization so as to make the circulation and conveyance of the fabric smooth and the operation of the machine is automatized, simplified, capable of greatly increasing production performance.
  • The foregoing objectives and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification and drawings identical reference numerals refer to identical or similar parts.
  • Many other advantages and features of the present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying sheets of drawings in which a preferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of the present invention is shown by way of illustrative example.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
    • FIG 1 is a schematic view illustrating a conveyor drive fabric dyeing machine.
    • FIG 2 is a schematic view illustrating a control method according to the present invention.
    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • The following descriptions are exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
  • The present invention provides a control method that is applicable to a fabric dyeing machine shown in FIG 1. The fabric dyeing machine comprises a machine body 1 in which a dyeing tube 12, a reel 4, and a conveyor 2 are arranged. The reel 4 is driven to rotate by a reel motor (not shown). The conveyor 2 is driven and operated by a conveyor motor (not shown). Fabric 3 moves around the reel 4 and passes through a nozzle 5 to enter the dyeing tube 12 and then falls onto the conveyor 2 to be conveyed forward so as to complete a cycle of circulation. Dye liquid L is pressurized by a pump 7 to flow through a heat exchanger 8 (for heating or cooling) to enter the nozzle 5 for generating a jetting or overflowing hydraulic power that drives the fabric 3 into the dyeing tube 12. The fabric 3 that exits the dyeing tube 12 is allowed to fall back to the conveyor 2 and the conveyor 2 conveys the fabric 3 forward to pass through an idler 41 and the reel 4 to repeat the above-described circulation cycle. In such a circulation process, a control box 9 controls the operation. The control box 9 comprises a computer or a programmable logic controller (PLC) control unit 91 mounted therein. Dye and chemical agents are supplied from a service tank 11 and pressurized by the pump 7 to feed into a dye liquid circulation loop of the dyeing machine. During the circulation, the dye liquid L and the fabric 3 undergo a process of heating, temperature holding, and cooling achieved with the heat exchanger 8 to have the dye absorbed by the fabric thereby achieving a dyeing effect of scouring, coloring, color fixing, and water rinsing.
  • As shown in FIG 2, the technical solution of the present invention is that the control box 9 is provided with the computer or the PLC control unit 91 built therein in such a way that the compute or PLC control unit 91 is electrically connected to a speed controller of a reel motor 40 and a speed controller of a conveyor motor 20. The computer or PLC control unit 91 are fed with fabric length data 911 or fabric weight data 912 and fabric unit weight data 913, based on which an automatic operation is performed by the computer or the PLC control to compute and supply a signal to the speed controller (such as an inverter) of the reel motor 40 and the speed controller (such as an inverter) of the conveyor motor 20 so as to make the reel motor 40 and the conveyor motor 20 rotate together with speeds that are of a predetermined ratio with respect to each other so that the fabric 3 is driven by the reel 4 to move in a manner of being in synchronization with the operation of the conveyor 2.
  • It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.
