Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a dyeing device for dyeing cloth and the like.

[Background of the invention]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Recently, hand-dyed fabrics, threads, etc., are becoming increasingly common in households. The reasons for this are, for example, dark-colored cotton products such as black socks lose their color rapidly, and white shirts tend to yellow and require re-dying, or commercially available clothing colors do not suit one's taste. This is thought to be due to the increasing demand for redying handmade cloth products and for dyeing handmade cloth products.

The main steps of normal dyeing are the process of dissolving the dye together with a dyeing aid in water or hot water to create a dye solution, and dyeing by immersing the dye to be dyed, such as cloth, in the dye solution and stirring while heating. The dyed chromosomes are squeezed and washed with water. When this is done at home, everyday items such as bathtubs, washing machines, and stoves are used.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, dyeing using a bathtub requires stirring for a long time with a stick or the like, which requires a great deal of labor and is inefficient. Furthermore, dyeing using a washing machine requires complicated work such as transferring the dye solution to a separate container and reheating it when it cools down. In either method, it is time consuming and there are problems with safety, hygiene, and cleaning of used items after dyeing.

The present invention has been made in view of these circumstances, and aims to provide an automatic dyeing device that does not require much labor, performs each process safely and hygienically, and provides a good dyeing finish. be.

[Means to solve the problem]

For this purpose, the automatic dyeing apparatus of the present invention is provided with a stirring means for stirring the dye solution and a heating means for heating the dye solution in a container capable of loading and unloading dyes such as cloth products and storing the dye solution. It was composed of

〔Example〕

An automatic staining apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a sectional view thereof. Reference numeral 1 denotes an outer container whose top surface is opened and closed by attaching and removing a lid 2, and an operating section 3 is disposed at the edge of the top surface as shown in FIG. The operation section 3 is provided with a timer 31, a motor rotation speed setting section 32, a heater temperature adjustment section 33, a buzzer 34 for notifying the end of the timer 31, and the like. Further, a heater 4 and a motor coil 5 are arranged on the bottom surface of the outer container 1, and the electric power supplied to each is controlled by the operation of the heater temperature adjustment section 33 and motor rotation speed setting section 32. It looks like this. Note that the heater 4 needs to be of an embedded type so as not to cause various troubles even if it gets wet, and the coil 5 needs to be of a waterproof type.

Reference numeral 6 denotes an inner container that can be attached to and removed from the outer container 1 (see Fig. 3), which is formed into a cylindrical shape with a bottom that stores water and the like, and whose inner surface is treated to prevent dyes and the like from adhering to it. Row container 1
When installed inside the heater 4, the heater 4 is installed.

A stirring blade 7 is rotatably attached to the bottom surface of the inner container 6. The rotating shaft 7a of the stirring blade 7 is inserted through the bottom surface of the inner container 6 via a bearing (not shown), and a rotor 8 made of a magnet is attached to the protruding end thereof. The rotor 8 is arranged so as to be able to move in and out of the coil 5. The rotor 8 and the coil 5 constitute a motor 9.

Therefore, by attaching and detaching the inner container 6 to and from the outer container 1, the rotor 8 is brought into the coil 5, and the motor 9 is assembled and disassembled at the same time. Note that the rotor 8 can be rotated in forward and reverse directions.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a cord for supplying power to the heater 4, coil 5, operating section 3, etc., and is introduced from the lower part of the outer container 1.

Now, in order to stain using this automatic staining device, first,
With the inner container 6 installed in the outer container 1, water, dye, dyeing aid, etc. are added to the inner container 6, and the timer 31, motor rotation speed setting section 32, and heater temperature adjustment section 33 are set appropriately. The stirring blade 7 is rotated in forward and reverse directions to rotate and stir the water in the inner container 6 to dissolve the dye and the dyeing aid to form the dyeing solution A)f-
Create m format.

When the temperature of the dyeing solution reaches a predetermined temperature, place the chromosomal target B such as clothing into the inner container 6, reset the timer 31 and motor rotation speed setting section 32 to predetermined setting values for the dyeing process,
Stirring of the chromosome B and the staining solution A is continued until the timer 31 runs out (until the buzzer 34 sounds) to carry out staining. Once the dyeing is finished, take out the inner container 6 from the outer container 1, drain the dyeing solution, add new water and turn on the stirring blade 7 again.
Rotate and wash with water. Repeat this water washing operation several times to complete.

As described above, each step of dyeing can be performed using only this single device. Note that the dyeing method is not limited to the above example, and may be changed as appropriate depending on the type of dye, the material of the chromosome, etc.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the automatic dyeing apparatus of the present invention, dyeing work can be done safely and hygienically without requiring much labor, and various conditions such as stirring time and temperature of the dye solution can be easily set and controlled. As a result, the dyeing finish is good, and the workability of dyeing, especially at home, can be improved.
