  Injection processing systems operated by this so-called aerodynamic system, such as liquid dyeing machines or nozzle dyeing machines, are used in the industry in a wide variety of versions. In principle, the flow of the supply medium acting on the supply nozzle means is not formed by the processing liquid but rather by a gaseous supply medium (especially air and / or steam, inert gas or the like). In this respect, it is distinguished from a hydraulic spray processor. Therefore, the conditions in a hydraulic injection processor cannot be easily adopted for an injection or nozzle processing system that operates on the aerodynamic principle. For example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 describe, for example, only a few examples of an injection processor that operates on the aerodynamic principle. In the processing apparatus found in Patent Document 2, at least two J-boxes arranged side by side in the axial direction are provided in a closable processing tank, each of which is expected to accommodate its own endless rope. The The endless rope is set in rotation by the nozzle supply means associated with the J box and is folded at the outlet from the nozzle supply means, in other words, at the inlet to the J box, in other words, it is folded flat. The J-boxes are operated in parallel, and the supply nozzles of the J-box communicate with the compression side of the common blower, and the blower sucks a mixture of steam and air from the processing tank and supplies it to the supply nozzle as a supply medium. Supply.

  An endless rope is carried from the J box outside the processing tank to a roller located above the processing tank, from a roller that causes a deflection of approximately 180 ° of the rope to be similarly arranged outside the processing tank and to the processing tank. Flowing to the downstream supply nozzle that causes reintroduction of the rope is a common feature of the jet processing apparatus described in the two documents. The part of the endless rope rotation path located outside the processing tank extends through the corresponding housing part, which also surrounds the deflection roller and the feed nozzle, is attached to the processing tank and is airtight. It communicates with the processing tank in style. The structural principle is that a gas circulation system carrying the gas flow of the supply medium of the supply nozzle, together with at least one blower, a distribution line and a connecting line to the respective supply nozzle, is likewise arranged outside the processing tank. I need. Thus, these parts increase the surface area of the machine and hence the heat radiation area. In addition, the gas circulation system arranged on the outside enhances the flow loss that can result in correspondingly high electrical energy usage during machine operation.

  Because of the associated larger J-box width and J-box load capacity for proper product path, the ropes coming out of each supply nozzle must be superimposed. That is, the rope is folded flat when it enters the J box. In the flow circulation of the gaseous feed medium arranged outside the processing tank, structural elements are required to have a relatively long movement path for the rope, which is understood to be a disadvantage under certain conditions. In Patent Document 2, for example, a cutler that is oriented substantially vertically is provided, and the cutler forms a supply nozzle means together with the supply nozzle and is close to a supply portion for a rope that performs a reciprocating swivel operation. .

  In the apparatus for wet processing textile material which also operates on the aerodynamic principle which is also known from US Pat. No. 6,037,049, a plurality of J boxes are arranged side by side in the axial direction of the tank in a cylindrical processing tank, so that a corresponding number The ropes can be processed independently of each other. Each J box is assigned a supply nozzle arranged horizontally inside the processing tank, and each rope on the rope outlet side of the J box passes through a deflection roller also arranged inside the processing tank. The deflection roller deflects the rope 90 ° from the vertical movement direction to the horizontal movement direction. The supply nozzle communicates with the compression side of the radial blower via a straight section arranged in the processing tank, and the radial blower passes through the upper opening in the exterior of the processing tank in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the blower blade. Inserted into the tank. The radial blower has a housing connected to the inside of the processing tank and provided with a suction opening, and air is sucked out of the processing tank through the suction opening. The blower motor is attached to an annular flange that surrounds the upper opening and is joined to the tank exterior. The motor shaft is introduced into the tank in an airtight manner using a bushing surrounding it. The rope outlet side of the supply nozzle is brought close by a guide tube, which can be swung around a vertical axis by a crank drive in a horizontal plane, and is flat and protrudes into a conduit-like J box on the rope inlet side. On the opposite side of the guide tube in the diametrical direction, there is a J-box wall surface provided with a perforation. This wall surface is tilted so that the rope hitting the wall is deflected downward into the J box. The reciprocating motion of the guide tube places the rope that enters the J box, as appropriate for folding.

  In the cutler formed by a guide tube that performs a reciprocating swivel action, when the rope enters the J box, it results in a somewhat steep change in the rope direction in cooperation with the perforated collision wall of the J box. However, depending on the type of product, such deflection can have an adverse effect on the rope surface. For some products, the proper folding of the rope is also uncertain, so it is not possible to prevent the product package formed in the J box from falling over when the ropes are stacked. Tangles or other problems in rope movement can occur when is pulled out of the J box.

  Therefore, the object of the present invention is based on this prior art, and at the same time assuring smooth rope movement even with a relatively large J-box capacity, while at the same time consuming as little current and heat as possible in the economy of the device It is an apparatus and a method that enable a general operation, which is to create a method and an apparatus for treating a rope-shaped textile product of the type initially defined.

  To achieve this object, the inventive method has the features of claim 1, while the inventive device is the subject of claim 6.

  In the novel method, the textile product is first connected at its ends to form an endless rope. Using the gaseous flow of the supply medium acting on the rope via the supply nozzle means, the rotational movement extends to the entire inside of the processing tank and is applied to the rope along the rotation path including the supply nozzle means and the J box. Given. The rope coming out of the supply nozzle means is put in place by reciprocating movement of the supply nozzle means itself for the purpose of folding it when entering the J box, in other words for the purpose of folding it flat. .

  First, the rope is not brought along the rotation path to the deflecting roller located above the processing tank, but is introduced again into the processing tank using the downstream supply nozzle, so that the external circulation of the supply medium Because of the elimination, a substantial reduction in flow loss and hence less consumption of electrical energy to operate the blower is achieved. Secondly, the linear movement of the supply nozzle means itself provides a great variety of conditions for the proper movement of the rope, even when the J box is wide, in particular the rope stacks on the J box. Results in a very stable state. As a result, for example, even a wide J box with a loading capacity of up to about 275 kg or more, proper rope movement is guaranteed, in particular the product packaging is prevented from tipping over in the stack and the rope is removed from the J box. Drawing difficulties are also avoided. Adverse effects on the moving rope surface, such as can be caused by rope deflection associated with sudden changes in direction, are eliminated. It is of substantial importance in the processing of sensitive textile products

  A particularly advantageous situation results if the supply nozzle means is swiveled around the vertical axis in the treatment tank. When entering the J box, the rope can be additionally moved back and forth in the direction of rope passage by the supply nozzle means, so that when the rope enters the J box, the rope of the supply nozzle means around its vertical axis. A combined operation is performed which consists of the swiveling operation described above and the operation of the rope coming out of the nozzle supply means, in the longitudinal direction of the nozzle supply means and thus to the depth of the J box. As the rope enters the J box, these two operations are performed so that the stacking operation can be optimized and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the processing tank (crossing the J box width). Two motion components can be combined with each other. If necessary, both operations can be separated from each other and instead occur in time series in succession.

  A processing device operated in the manner described above for at least one endless rope-shaped textile product comprises at least one J-box arranged in the processing tank to accommodate the rope during at least a part of the processing cycle. A closable treatment tank having In a preferred embodiment, the rope is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the preferred cylindrical processing tank. Supply means for supplying a rope is a supply nozzle means having a rope inlet and a rope outlet which can be exposed to a gaseous supply medium which gives the rope a forward movement in the direction of rotation, the supply nozzle means through which the rope passes Have These supply means are completely arranged inside the processing tank. Housing parts for the supply medium flow used for acting on the supply nozzle means and for the supply nozzle means, such as any housing parts arranged outside the processing tank and communicating with the processing tank. Is also excluded. The equipment for applying the treatment agent to the rope and the transmission and guidance equipment for the rope are also included in the treatment tank, and using them, the rotating endless rope comprises a supply nozzle means and a J box. It is guided in the processing tank along the route. The supply nozzle means is movably supported in the processing tank. They are assigned adjusting means, which can achieve the action of placing the rope out of its rope exit in place when the rope enters the downstream J-box.

  In a preferred embodiment, the supply nozzle means is supported in the processing tank so as to be pivotable about a vertical axis. The supply nozzle means is assigned a blower of the supply nozzle means itself with a substantially vertical blower shaft, the blower being installed in the processing tank near the top of the processing tank, the blower shaft being connected to the supply nozzle means The pivot axes can be formed simultaneously. For convenience, the blower has a suction protrusion that communicates with the processing tank and a compression protrusion that is coaxial with the suction protrusion and communicates with the supply nozzle means. The suction protrusion and / or the compression protrusion are preferably arranged so as to be pivotally supported relative to the tank about a pivot axis of the blower impeller. This, with the result that the swivel angle range required for stacking the ropes can be kept relatively small even with a wide J box when the rope is put in place in the J box. The result is a maximum spacing between those pivot axes near the rope inlet and the rope outlet of the supply nozzle means arranged above the rope inlet.

  In an advantageous embodiment, the supply nozzle means each have a supply for a rope, the supply ends in the rope outlet and is movable in conjunction with the supply nozzle means. The supply part has an outlet part having a rope outlet, which is supported by the supply nozzle means in a displaceable manner in a telescopic manner in the direction of the rope passing through the supply nozzle means. . The outlet portion is connected to the adjusting device of the adjusting means for giving the reciprocating shaft operation thereto, and thus the rope outlet is swiveled by the supply nozzle means around the swivel axis and telescopic reciprocating in the direction of the rope passing through the supplying means of the outlet portion. It is possible to perform complex operations that result in operations. The turning device and the adjusting device are connected to each other by means of a control unit, by which the turning device and the adjusting device can be operated together to generate this combined movement of the rope outlet. Instead, they can also be run separately in time series succession

  Further advantageous features and modifications of the novel method and apparatus are the subject of the dependent claims. In the figure, an exemplary embodiment of the inventive subject matter is shown.

  The figure drawn shows an embodiment of the device according to the invention having a processing tank 1 embodied as a cylindrical container in the form of a high-temperature cloth dyeing machine, the cylindrical container being a welded circular mirror end (Torispherical ends) 2 is closed at its two end faces in an airtight manner. The processing tank 1 in the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6 is provided with six J-boxes denoted as I-VI. In the details of the fabric dyeing machine shown in FIG. 2, only one of these J boxes (eg J box III) is shown. Each J box I-VI is defined by two parallel side walls 3 and a bottom wall 4 which is joined to the side walls 3 as can be seen, for example, in FIGS. The bottom wall 4 is embodied in a known manner as a sliding bottom by using FTFE bars arranged in parallel or by being constructed of PTFE tiles in a known manner. Both versions allow the flow of excess processing liquid into the space below the bottom wall 4 (denoted 5 in FIG. 3) in the processing tank 1. As with the bottom wall 4, the side walls 3, also referred to as the product boundary walls, are each embodied with a PTFE coating inside them, or in the form of a single plate part, so as to result in a friction-reducing arrangement. It becomes. Since the inner cover 6 (FIG. 3) is joined to the side wall 3, the J box has a substantially U-shaped design with a rope inlet opening 7 and a rope outlet opening 8. In the illustrated embodiment, J-boxes I-VI each have the same axial width that can generally reach 800 mm or more for a process tank diameter of approximately 2250 mm.

  The side walls 3 of each J-box I-VI are arranged to extend perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the processing tank indicated by 9 in FIG. 2, but in the special individual case they are An equilateral mountain shape other than 90 ° may be formed with respect to the longitudinal axis 9 of the processing tank. One of the circular mirror ends 2 has a manhole 10, which is coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the processing tank and is closed in an airtight manner by a removable lid 11.

  The insertion and removal openings, which are closed by the removable hermetic chain 12, lead to the respective J box I-VI and are arranged approximately at the level of the horizontal diameter surface 13 (FIG. 3) of the processing tank 1. A liquid container 14 is provided on the lower side of the processing tank 1, and the liquid container communicates with the inside of the tank, and is scheduled to hold a processing agent (liquid) flowing away from the textile product. The volume of the liquid container 14 can accommodate the total amount of liquid minus the proportion of liquid carried by the textile product, but when the product is moving in each J-box, the liquid located outside the product itself. It is tailored to specific dimensions so that the surface does not touch the product.

  For each J box I-VI, a cylindrical tubular projection 15 welded to the exterior of the processing tank, slightly above the rope outlet opening 8 of each J box located below the diameter surface 13, To the central symmetry plane of the associated J box shown at 17 in FIG. The tubular protrusion 15 has an annular flange 18 at its end, and a blower unit 19 is installed on the flange. The blower unit 19 has an upper housing part 20 having an impeller housing 21 including a radical blower blade 22, which rotates around a vertical swivel axis 16 that is coaxial with the axis of the tubular protrusion 15, It is connected to an electric motor 23 installed in the housing part 20. The electric motor 23 is a three-phase motor whose speed can be adjusted by inverter operation and is designed to adjust whatever gas supply flow is desired. The shaft is sealed from the inside of the housing with a shaft seal 24. A helical guide baffle 25 (FIG. 4) is disposed in the impeller housing 21 and diverts the gaseous medium delivered by the blower perimeter 22 to the outer flow line 26. The flow line is coaxial with the pivot shaft 16 and establishes communication with the impeller housing 21 on the compression side.

  A cylindrical inner sheath 27 that forms a part of the lower housing portion of the blower unit 21 and is inserted with a slight radial interval is rotatably supported by the tubular protrusion 15, Directed to the same axis. The inner sheath 27 is sealed at the end from the annular flange 18 via a seal 28 embodied as, for example, a labyrinth seal or slot sleeve, is rotatably supported in a radial direction, and is connected via an appropriate cross-sectional shape 29 to the annular flange 18. Suspended in the axial direction. An internal flow line 30 provided with a suction cone extends coaxially with the pivot 16 to the inner exterior 27 and communicates with the inlet of the blower blade as a suction line to form a suction projection. At the opposite end, the flow line communicates with the processing tank 1. The inner coaxial flow line 30 forms a cylindrical extension 26 a of the outer flow line 26 with an outer sheath 27 on the outer side. In this way, two coaxial vertical flow lines 26, 26 a; 30 are embodied in the blower unit 21. The flow line 30 serving as a suction line widens conically toward the inside of the tank and is closed at the bottom of 31 on the outside with respect to the inner jacket 27.

  The entire blower unit 19 can be removed from the annular flange 18 and can be replaced with a blower unit having different capabilities or different pumping characteristics if desired. When the blower unit is replaced, the annular flange 18 embodied as a welded flange and the tubular protrusion 15 remain the same, so that only the blower blade 22 and the impeller housing 21 are available in various sizes. There must be.

  The tubular rope inlet 32 of the supply nozzle 33, embodied as a ring nozzle, is relatively rotated by an inner sheath 27 that is rotatably supported and a coaxial flow line 30 that is firmly joined to the inner sheath. Connected in a fixed manner. The rope inlet portion 32, which is basically embodied as a tube with a 60 ° bend, has a PTFE lining that can be inserted after the lower blower portion is made of stainless steel in such a way that the PTFE lining can be inserted inside it. Is completely lined. The rope inlet portion is a rope inlet opening 34 defined to extend substantially parallel to the diametric surface 13 of the tank, from the rope outlet opening 8 of the J box to an endless rope (shown at 35 in FIG. 1). ) And has a rope inlet opening 34 that is spaced at a maximum distance from the diametric surface 13 of the tank to ensure a good draw angle and create a spacing for the rope guide device described below. The rope inlet portion 32 communicates with the inlet nozzle portion 35, and the inlet nozzle portion 35 defines an annular gap 37 together with the nozzle portion 36 and is brought close to the cylindrical nozzle portion 38 and the diffuser 39. An annular gap 37 is disposed in the cylindrical nozzle housing 40, which is welded to the inner sheath 27 and communicates with the outer flow line 26a that is exposed to pressure by the supply medium. The diffuser 39 is brought in close proximity by a coaxial supply pipe 41, which consists of PTFE, which in turn leads into a larger diameter outlet bend 42. The outlet curved portion 42 forms a supply portion together with the supply pipe 41, and the outgoing rope can be introduced into the J box inlet opening 7. As shown in FIG. 3, the outlet curved portion 42 opens at a slight distance from the boundary of the inlet opening 7 and above the boundary, and is directed substantially parallel to the inlet opening on the opening side.

  The injection nozzles 43 distributed in an annular shape around the axis of the cylindrical nozzle housing 40 communicate with the processing agent supply line 45 through a flexible hose 44 made of PTFE and stainless steel. . Since the spray nozzle 43 functions as a spray nozzle in the direction of the annular gap 37, a uniform action by the processing agent spray flow is realized on the rope 35 passing through the supply nozzle 33.

  In the version embodied as a flat-stream nozzle, the arrangement of the spray nozzle 43 is such that the flow direction represented by the arrows in FIG. The gas flow is strengthened. The best distribution of the treatment liquid on the passing rope is achieved using both media, in particular the treatment liquid and gas flow sprayed at the annular cross section of the supply nozzle. In the cylindrical nozzle part 38 downstream of the annular gap 37, there is a mixing section where the distribution of the gas medium in the liquid processing liquid fluid is again achieved. The nozzle part 36, which is firmly joined to the cylindrical nozzle part 38, can be adjusted axially with respect to the closing lid 44 of the nozzle housing 40, so in this way the annular gap 37 of the nozzle can be adjusted.

  Compared with the diffuser 39 close to the cylindrical nozzle portion 38, the cylindrical supply pipe 41 is guided by a sliding bearing included in the support structure 420 so as to be axially displaceable, and thus the inside of the PTFE on the downstream side of the supply pipe. The supply tube 41 having the tube bending portion 42 and being fixed to the tube bending portion 42 can be displaced at an interval represented by a double arrow 46 in FIG.

  A cantilever arm 47 that is pivotally connected to the thrust rod 48 is fixed to the lower surface of the nozzle housing 40. As can be seen from FIG. 2, for example, the thrust rod 48 extends over the axial length of the processing tank 1. Then, 49 passes through the circular mirror end 2 in a sealing manner. The thrust rod 48 is connected to a motor drive represented by 50, which motor drive has, for example, a threaded spindle and forms a swivel device with the thrust rod 48, the swivel device being a blower unit. The rotation of the supply parts 41 and 42 and the rotation of the supply nozzle 33 can be brought about around the 19 vertical rotation axes 16. For example, in the multiple box version of the fabric dyeing machine as shown in FIG. 6, the thrust rod 48 is connected to the cantilever arms 47 of all the blower units 19, so that the motor drive 50 of the swivel device is operated. In this case, all the supply units for J box I-VI and the supply nozzles 33 are simultaneously swiveled around the respective vertical swivel axes 16 at the same angle. They are thus firmly connected to one another. It can be understood that the swivel angle between the supply nozzle 33 and the end positions of the supply units 41 and 42 (represented by dotted lines) indicated by 51 in FIG. 2 depends on the width of each J box. it can. Generally, it is about 30 ° amplitude.

  The support bearing 510 is attached to the supply pipe 41 so as not to be displaced. It is engaged by a rocker arm mechanism 53 which is guided by a guide 52 projecting from a cantilever arm 47 so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction and connected to a support shaft 54 which extends parallel to the longitudinal axis 9 of the processing tank. The support shaft 54 is connected to a motor drive 56 on both sides of the processing tank 1 via a lever mechanism 55, and the motor drive 56 together with the shaft 54 and the rocker lever mechanism 53 forms an adjusting device for the supply unit. During the operation of the adjusting device, the outlet curved portion 42 and the supply pipe 41 are given an adjustment operation in the direction of the rope passing through the supply nozzle 33, and the magnitude of the operation is double arrowed as already mentioned. 46.

  The two adjusting motor drives 56 and the turning motor drive 50 penetrating the circular mirror end 2 in 57 sealing manners are controlled by a common control unit 58 schematically shown in FIG. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the outlet curve 42 is directed parallel to the longitudinal axis 9 of the processing tank and traverses each J-box as it is pivoted between the end positions indicated by the dotted lines in FIG. The two motor drives 50, 56 can be controlled to move along the longitudinal direction of the straight line 59 extending across the direction, leading the center point 58 of the rope outlet opening to the J-box inlet opening 7. In this way, the outlet curve 42 is firstly pivoted about the pivot axis 16 and secondly in the direction of passage of the rope through the supply nozzle 33, in other words substantially in the transverse direction of the longitudinal axis 9 of the processing tank. Two operations are performed: a transverse operation. As already mentioned, these two operations can be performed simultaneously in superposition with each other. They can be controlled by the control unit 58 or can be performed continuously. Further, two motor drives 50 and 56, in which the motor drive 50 determines the swivel range (represented by an angle 51) of the lower blower portion having the supply nozzle 33 and the outlet curved portion 42, In the motor drive 56, the two motor drives 50, 56 that provide the longitudinal movement of the outlet curve 42 relative to the supply nozzle 33 can also be operated at different cycle times, so that method Depending on the specific textile product to be processed, the course of operation in the stack can be defined according to the program.

  At the same time, the folds can be adapted to different J-box widths without having to change structural details such as the supply nozzle or lower blower section. In practice, a J-box width for loading capacity of approximately 275 kg or more is possible. The maximum dimension is only affected by the diameter of the processing tank 1 which should not exceed approximately 2250 mm, taking into account container transport requirements.

  In the processing tank 1, there is a deflection roller 60 that is rotatably supported around a horizontal axis below the rope inlet portion 32 of the supply nozzle 33, and the deflection roller is a plurality of boxes shown as examples in FIGS. 5 and 6. The fabric dyeing machine can extend continuously over all J boxes I-VI in the treatment tank 1. However, depending on the model, each J box I-VI or each group of J boxes may have their own deflection roller 60. This is shown in FIGS. 7-9, where FIGS. 7 and 8 show an arrangement with one deflecting roller 60 per J box, while FIG. 9 extends coaxially with each other across each of the three J boxes. FIG. 7 shows a version similar to FIGS. 5 and 6 in which two deflection rollers 60 are provided. In any case, the deflecting roller 60 is supported in a freewheel manner by bearings 61 on both sides, and in particular as shown in FIG. 7, a freely extending shaft end 62 is provided from the inside of the processing tank 1. It arrange | positions at the rectangular cross section 63 so that it may be shielded. A toothed belt pulley 64 is attached to the shaft end 62 and, when the rope stops, is connected to the shaft end 62 via a coupling detent device with a nonpositive engagement. Is done. The toothed belt pulley 64 is connected to a gear motor 67 via a toothed belt 65 extending in a rectangular cross section 63 and via a second toothed belt pulley 66. Since the toothed belts 65 are separated from the interior of the processing vessel, they are not exposed to excessive temperature stress when the product stops operating during operation. The second toothed belt pulley 66 is disposed in the outer peripheral area of the processing tank 1 together with its bearing. The readjustment of the toothed belt can be performed using, for example, a rocker joined to the bracket of the gear motor 67.

  As an alternative to this arrangement, a drive deflection roller 60 can also be used, as shown in FIG. 9, instead of the deflection roller 60 supported in a freewheeling manner. Due to the length of the processing tank, for example, when there are six J-boxes, each with a loading capacity of 275 kg, the deflection roller 60 is divided in the middle as already mentioned and placed centrally in the processing tank 1 A rectangular bearing beam 68 is provided to accommodate the shaft seal and ball bearing 61. The two partial deflection rollers 60 are each driven by a respective gear motor 69, whose shaft passes through each circular mirror end 2 in a 70 sealing manner.

  As can be seen from FIG. 1, the position of the rope inlet 32 and the position of the rope inlet opening 34 with respect to the supply nozzle 33 and the axial position of the deflection roller 60 are determined when the rope is moved upward out of the J box. The loop 35 is embodied such that the drawing angle located in the transverse direction of the rope 35 does not exceed an allowable amount, so that, for example, in the case of a knitted product, no loop transition occurs. In the embodiment shown, the rope enters on the one hand the rope inlet 32 which is substantially parallel to the inner wall of the rope inlet adjacent to the inlet opening 34, and on the other hand the rope is approximately around the opening 8. It is deflected at an angle of 90 ° or more by the deflection roller 60 so that it can be lifted out of the J box at a good angle of 90 °. The deflection roller 60 in the freewheel version is driven by the friction of the rope 35 passing through the deflection roller. The deflection roller 60 can also be assigned a guide baffle 600 which guides the incoming rope 35 also in the lateral direction, as shown in FIG.

  Regardless of how the deflection roller 60 is embodied and driven, the guide roller 71 (FIGS. 1 and 3) is rotatably supported above the deflection roller 60 in the processing tank 1 and installed on the rocker 72. The The rocker can be swung around the swivel position 74 toward the deflection roller 60 by the pneumatic adjustment cylinder 73. As a result of this pivoting away of the guide roller 71 (represented by the dotted line in FIG. 3), a greater wrapping angle of the deflection roller 60 for the rope 35 is achieved, which angle adheres to the inner surface of the rope. It is also related to the separation of the processing liquid. The liquid is captured by the separation baffle 76 and removed through the outflow grooves 76a arranged in the transverse direction and the grooves 76b arranged on the left and right of the boundary wall 3 of the J box without coming into contact with the rope 35 again. . The deflection roller 60 and the guide roller 71 are shielded by the separation baffle 76 toward the inside of the processing tank, and the separation baffle is effective in removing the processing liquid that rebounds when the guide roller 71 is swung downward. It is. Cooperating with the separation baffle 76 is a cover baffle 77 disposed at the rope inlet portion 32, and the cover baffle is surrounded by other elements and surrounds the deflection roller 60 and the guide roller 71. , To ensure that the suction chamber of the blower unit 19 is separated from the space shielded from the inside of the tank by the separation baffle 76.

  As a flow of the supply medium, a gas acting on the supply nozzle 33 via the nozzle housing 40 and sucked from the inside of the processing tank 1 by the blower unit 19 is a conical flow pipe 30 in the lower blower portion. And is moved toward the impeller inlet by suction. Depending on the type of textile material to be treated, a filter formed by a rectangular flat filter element 78, as it should avoid any lint that can lead to fiber buildup and which can occur. The surface is located near the J box outlet opening 8 and extends continuously across the J box width. The filter element 78 is arranged vertically and is supported displaceably in the longitudinal direction of the tank with one upper guiding section and one lower guiding section (79 and 80 respectively). The upper guide cross section 79 is joined to approximately the central axis of the cylindrical tubular protrusion 15 by a cover baffle 81 extending to the inside of the tank exterior.

  Due to the displaceability of the filter element 78, the filter surface is easily accessible even when multiple J-boxes are placed in the processing tank 1. The flexible filter element 78 can be removed through the manhole 10 once the manhole closure 11 is opened.

  As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 3, the supply nozzle 33 is arranged on the upper part of the processing tank 1 and is embodied as closely as possible to the inner periphery of the exterior of the processing tank. In the embodiment shown, the supply nozzle 33 is oriented with its longitudinal axis and the horizontal arrangement of the supply tubes 41. In this arrangement, a very good course of operation of the rope 35 is obtained when stacking on the J box. However, an embodiment in which the supply nozzle 33 and the supply pipe 41 are slightly inclined with respect to the diameter surface 13 of the processing tank is also conceivable. For example, the axis of the supply nozzle 33 may form an angle of 10 to 30 ° with the diameter surface 13.

  In the embodiment shown, the rope inlet to the supply nozzle 33 is, as already mentioned, an angle of 30 ° with respect to the plane of symmetry of the product tank.

Form.

  The cylindrical tubular protrusion 15 that houses the lower blower portion is located on the vertical longitudinal center plane of the processing tank 1 such that its upper boundary near the annular flange 18 does not increase the size of the processing tank 1 with respect to height. Located next to the side. Thus, when the blower unit 19 is removed, it is ensured that the processing tank 1 can be adapted for container transportation without requiring additional structural changes. Since the processing tank 1 is a smooth wall on the outside, it can be easily surrounded by a heat insulating layer that further saves energy.

  The elements that are arranged outside the processing tank 1 of the hot fabric dyeing machine selected here as an exemplary embodiment are shown schematically in FIG. They basically comprise a processing liquid circulation system 82, which includes a liquid recirculation pump 83 and a heat exchanger 84, from the liquid reservoir 14 to supply individual J-boxes I-VI. The nozzle 33 leads to the processing agent supply line 45 to which the processing agent is supplied. The processing agent circulation system 82 further includes a shut-off valve 85 and a liquid drain valve 86. A secondary tank 87 for the total amount of liquid, cleaning liquid, etc. and an attached replenishment tank 89 having a metering pump 89 are connected to the processing liquid circulation system. A bypass line 90 including valves and fixtures not shown allows for the circulation of the processing liquid separated from the processing tank 1 as required for certain processing steps. Finally, at 91, the processing tank 1 can be evacuated or exposed to steam or the like.

  Finally, in certain applications, the feed nozzle 33 in the treatment tank 1 may be pivotable about a different axis rather than about the axis 16, or may be supported more or less displaceably. Note that it may be movably supported in other ways.
