Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a device for testing the dyeing of objects to be dyed using dyes, and in particular, a device for testing the dyeing of objects to be dyed using dyes, and in particular, a device for testing dyeing objects by adjusting dye baths in which various auxiliary agent conditions are set in a large number of dyeing pots. This invention relates to an apparatus for carrying out a dyeing test by placing an object to be dyed in a bath and reciprocating the dyeing pot in a substantially horizontal direction (hereinafter referred to as shaking).

0002

[Prior art and problems] The conventional shaking type dyeing test machine is
Dyeing tests are conducted while shaking the dyeing pot, and the dyeing results are comparable to those obtained in industrial-scale dyeing. When developing new dyes, it is necessary to search for various dyeing conditions that are optimal for the dye, such as auxiliary agent conditions in the dye bath. For example, a method has been proposed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 155397/1983 that allows dyeing tests to be carried out simultaneously under a variety of conditions using a large number of dyeing pots. This device allows a large number of dyeing pots to be accommodated in a row and column on a shaking table, and allows the auxiliary agent to be injected into the dyeing pots housed on the shaking table under particularly various conditions. This is a shaking table that can be shaken at a predetermined amplitude. With this system, the auxiliary agent conditions for each dyeing pot are automatically set by an auxiliary injection device that operates based on instructions from a computer, and many tests can be performed at once. .

[0003] However, in this conventional branch technique, the process is so-called batch processing, so once the dyeing test is completed on the dyeing pots housed on the shaking table, the dyeing test is temporarily stopped and the dyeing pot is placed on the shaking table. Since each dyeing pot must be removed from the container, continuous dyeing tests cannot be carried out. Therefore, the working efficiency is insufficient in the current situation where a large number of dyeing tests are required. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and is based on the following: ``The auxiliary agent conditions and the type of dyed material are set for each dyeing pot or a group of dyeing pots, and a large number of these dyeing pots are supported on a shaking table. The object of the present invention is to improve the work efficiency of dyeing tests by making it possible to perform dyeing tests continuously in a dyeing test device designed to carry out dyeing tests.

[Technical Means] The technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems is as follows. , a shaking table (1) of a predetermined length that supports these pot stands (A) (A) continuously in the longitudinal direction, and said pot stands (A) (A) supported by this shaking table (1). ); a support stand (3) provided above the shaking table (1) and supporting the pot stand (A); Pot stand (A) in the pot stand (1)
), a feeding device (4) for feeding the pot stand (A) into the upstream end of the transfer route; an auxiliary agent dispensing device (5) installed near the downstream side of this feeding device; A take-out stand (6) provided near the upper part of the downstream end in the transfer direction, and a take-out stand (6) for taking out the pot stand (A) located at the downstream end in the transfer direction of the pot stand (A) in the shaking table (1). ), the swinging direction of the shaking table (1) is set perpendicular to the direction of transfer of the pot stand (A) (A) by the transfer means (2); 2), the time required to transport the pot stand (A) from the upstream end to the downstream end of the shaking table (1) was set to at least the time required for dyeing in the dyeing pot (P).

[0005]

[Operation] The above technical means operates as follows. Each pot stand (A) accommodates a certain number of dyeing pots (P) (P), and each dyeing pot (P) is charged with a dye and an object to be dyed. When this pot stand (A) is placed on the support stand (3), the pot stand (A) is placed at the upstream end of the transfer path on the shaking table (1) by the operation of the loading device (4) that operates at a predetermined timing. Injected. Each pot stand (A) thus introduced is intermittently sequentially moved in the longitudinal direction of the shaking table (1) by the transfer means (2). In this transfer path, a predetermined amount of the auxiliary agent is dispensed from the auxiliary agent dispensing device (5) to each dyeing pot (P) near the downstream side of the input position. As a result, the auxiliary agent conditions of the dye bath in each dyeing pot (P) are set in various ways. The dyeing pots (P) (P), in which the dye baths are set separately and the predetermined objects to be dyed are placed, are placed on the pot stand (A).
The shaking table (1) is intermittently transferred toward the downstream side while being supported by (A).

Since this shaking table (1) is shaken in a direction perpendicular to the direction of transfer by the transfer means (2), the objects to be dyed in each dyeing pot (P) are shaken during the intermittent transfer. is shake-stained. Also, the time required for each pot stand (A) to be transferred in the longitudinal direction within this shaking table (1) is:
Since the time required for dyeing is set, each dyeing pot (P) on each pot stand (A) is The dyeing of the object to be dyed is completed. Since a take-out device (7) is provided at the downstream end of the shaking table (1), the dyeing pot (7) is removed after dyeing is completed by this take-out device (7).
P) (P) is taken out from the shaking table (1) by the take-out device (7) for each pot stand (A), and taken out to the take-out stand (6). Every time one pot stand (A) is taken out, a new pot stand (A) is thrown into the upstream end of the shaking table (1) from the support stand (3) by the feeding device (4), and the above path is followed. The auxiliary agent conditions are set and the shaking dyeing is performed. In this way, the shaking dyeing test progresses continuously.

[0007]

[Effect] Since shaking-type dyeing tests can be performed continuously, work efficiency is improved when carrying out large-scale dyeing tests. especially,
Above the shaking table (1) there is a support table (3) and a take-out table (6).
), the space occupied by the increasingly large device can be kept to a minimum. Furthermore, a shaking table (1)
The shaking direction of each pot stand (A) is determined by the transfer means (2).
Since it is set perpendicular to the transfer direction, the shaking operation and transfer operation proceed smoothly.

Embodiments Next, embodiments of the present invention described above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. [About the pot stand (A)] Pot stand (A)
) is a rectangular frame as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and each pot stand (A) can accommodate six dyeing pots (P) (P). Therefore, the outer circumferential frame (C) stands upright from the plate-shaped bottom plate (B), and the inside of this outer circumferential frame (C) is partitioned into rectangular parallelepiped-shaped spaces by partition plates (D). Therefore, the dyeing pots (P) (P) accommodated in the respective spaces of the pot stand (A) are held by the outer peripheral frame (C) and the partition plate (D) so as not to fall. Also, pot stand (A) (
When A) is continued, adjacent outer peripheral frames (C) (C)
In order to create a certain distance between each other and between the long sides of the bottom plate (B), protrusions (G) (G) are provided at both ends of one long side of the bottom plate (B). There is. Therefore,
When the pot stands (A) (A) are connected, the protrusion (
G) (G) comes into contact with the edge of the bottom plate (B) of the other pot stand (A), and a gap is created according to the protrusion length of this protrusion (G).

[About the support stand (3)] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the support stand (3) is a pair of L-shaped guides arranged in parallel to match the width of the pot stand (A). Crosspiece (31)
(31), and this support stand (3) is disposed in parallel above a shaking table (1), which will be described later. Also, this support stand (
3) is equipped with a feeding device for specifically feeding each pot stand (A) to the feeding device (4), which will be described later. This feeding direction is determined by the pot stand (A) on the shaking table (1).
), and the downstream end of this feeding direction coincides with the upstream end of the shaking table (1). The feeding device includes a first feeding device (32) for feeding the pot stand (A) (A) placed on the upstream section of the support stand (3) to the downstream side of the support stand (3), and a support stand (
3) A second sending device (33) for transferring one pot stand (A) located at the downstream end to the feeding device (4)
It consists of The first sending device (32) has a hook (3) at the tip of the output shaft (34) of the air cylinder (E).
4), in which the output shaft (34) advances and retreats at predetermined time intervals with a stroke slightly larger than the width of the pot stand (A) in the transfer direction. In addition, in this first feeding device (32), the hook (34) is connected to the guide bar (3).
1) (31) In addition to being set in a protruding posture,
The air cylinder (E
) is supported so that it can swing up and down.

Therefore, when the pot stand (A) is placed on the upstream section of the support stand (3), the hook (34) touches the end of the pot stand (A) due to the advance of the output shaft of the air cylinder (E). This means pushing it downstream through a certain stroke. In addition, since the hook (34) is set in a shape that engages in one way with the end of the pot stand (A),
Also, the air cylinder (E) of the first sending device (32)
is biased by the spring (35) to maintain a constant posture, so even if the pot stand (A) is placed above the movement range of the hook (34), the hook (34)
) will not interfere with the return operation. In addition, as a safety device, a sensor (S) for detecting the presence of the pot stand (A) is provided at the downstream end of the support stand (3), and a sensor (S) for detecting the presence of the pot stand (A) is installed at the downstream end of the support stand (3). When the end of the table (A) is located, the output of this sensor (S) causes the first feeding device (3
The operation of 2) is stopped. For this reason, although not shown,
A control circuit is provided in the drive signal path of the first delivery device (32) to turn the drive circuit of the first delivery device (32) into a non-conductive state based on the detection output of the sensor (S).

As shown in FIG. 5, the second feeding device (33) feeds a plate-like tongue piece (36) from the tip of the output shaft of the air cylinder (E) whose base end is swingably supported. A support piece (37) that protrudes upward and protrudes from the main body of the air cylinder (E) toward the output shaft is suspended by the output shaft of the solenoid (38). Then, when the output shaft of the air cylinder (E) is fully retracted, the plate-like tongue piece (
36) is the pot stand (A) located at the downstream end of the support stand (3).
) is located below the rear edge of the The output shaft of the solenoid (38) is always urged downward by a spring, but in the operating state, the output shaft is retracted, and the guide bars (31) (31)
It is attached to the bottom of the horizontal beam that connects the Therefore, when the solenoid (38) is activated, the tip of the air cylinder (E) is lifted, and the pot stand (A) located at the downstream end of the support stand (3) and the pot stand (A) that follows this ( The plate-like tongue piece (36) enters into the gap created between the air cylinder (E) and the air cylinder (E), and the pot stand (A) located at the downstream end is pushed out by a certain stroke by the subsequent advancing movement of the output shaft of the air cylinder (E). It will be done. Note that when the pot stand (A) located at the downstream end is pushed out, the sensor (S) does not detect the pot stand (A), and the first feeding device (32) operates to push out the subsequent pot stand ( A) Move (A) to the downstream end position of the support stand (3). Through the above series of operations, the pot stands (A) placed on the upstream portion of the support stand (3) are successively pushed out from the pot stand (A). It goes without saying that this extrusion operation and the feeding device (4) are linked as will be described later.

[About the shaking table (1)] This shaking table (1) has guide bars (11) with an L-shaped cross section arranged parallel to the width of the pot stand (A). The shaking table (1) is an elongated upward-opening constant-temperature chamber, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. It is housed in a bath (8) and is reciprocated (shaken) in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the constant temperature bath (8). For this reason, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. dynamic lever (
83) (83) is configured to be pivotally supported, and this swing lever (
The upper free end (84) of the side wall (81) is made to protrude inward from above near the upper end of the side wall (81), and this free end and the support frame (
12) It has a structure in which the upper end of the upright piece of (12) is arranged around the upper end. Additionally, four swing levers (83) are installed on each longitudinal side wall of the constant temperature oven (8) as shown in FIGS.
) (83), and a pair of swinging levers (83) (83) disposed at a position biased toward one end of the thermostatic chamber (8).
) of a pair of swinging levers (83) (83) whose lower free ends (86) (86) are connected to each other at the midpoint of both, and which are disposed at opposing positions with the thermostatic oven (8) in between. Each connection (
87) They are connected to each other by a link (88) so that they can rotate relative to each other.

As described above, the guide bars (11) (11), which are both longitudinal sides of the shaking table (1), are connected to the swing lever (83) attached to the side wall of the thermostatic chamber (8) and the support frame ( 12), the structure is suspended at four locations. Therefore, the horizontal reciprocating movement of the links (88) (88) causes the free ends (84) (
84) are both reciprocated in the same direction in a substantially horizontal direction (in a slight arc shape), and the shaking table (1) suspended from the free ends (84) (84) shakes according to the reciprocating movement. It will be done. Note that this shaking driving force is generated by the drive motor (
The output shaft (J) of this drive motor (M) and one end of each link (88) are connected by a crank mechanism (K). Therefore,
The two links (88) (88) reciprocate at a period according to the rotational speed of the drive motor (M), and the shaking table (1), which is interlocked with these through a link mechanism, shakes at the same period. be done.

Both sides of the shaking table (1) in the longitudinal direction are provided with guide bars (11) (11) as described above.
As shown in FIG. 8, a transfer shaft (21) equipped with transfer hooks (26) (26) is disposed on the outside above each guide bar (11), and is attached to the shaking table (1). A pair of transfer shafts (21) (21) are parallel to each other with the placed pot stand (A) in between. Both ends of each transfer shaft (21) pass through the end walls (80) (80) at both ends of the thermostatic chamber (8), and are moved in a constant stroke axial direction by a drive mechanism provided outside one end wall (80). It is driven reciprocally and is also oscillated back and forth at a constant angle. For this reason, the drive mechanism has a pair of transfer shafts (
21) A slider (22) that drives both (21) in the axial direction.
), a disc (23) spline-fitted to the protrusion from the end wall (80) of the transfer shaft (21) and rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the end wall (80); (23) and a rotary actuator (24) that drives the rotary actuator (23) in reciprocating rotation, and the disk and the disk (25) attached to the output shaft of the rotary actuator (24) are linked as shown in FIG. (R), and as a result, when the output shaft of the rotary actuator (24) rotates by a certain angle,
The disks (23) (23) are configured to be rotated back and forth by 90 degrees. In addition, in this link mechanism, since the connection direction of each link (R) is set in the opposite direction, one of the transfer shafts (
21) and the other transfer shaft (21) are rotated in opposite directions. On the other hand, at the location of each transfer shaft (21) corresponding to the shaking table (1), transfer hooks (26) (26) are attached to the transfer shaft (21) at a pitch that matches the series spacing of the pot stands (A). The position of the protrusion coincides with the constant gap created between the pot stands (A) and (A). By the operation of the rotary actuator (24) described above, the transfer hooks (26) (26) swing back and forth between two positions: a horizontal position shown by the solid line in FIG. 8, and an upright position shown by the broken line. do.

In the drive mechanism described above, by associating the operation of the rotary actuator (24) with the operation of the slider (22), the transfer shafts (21) on both sides (21)
The pot stand (A) accommodated in the area surrounded by the transfer hooks (26) (26) protruding from the container is transferred. In other words, when the pair of transfer shafts (21) (21) are driven in the axial direction by the slider (22) with the transfer hook (26) in a horizontal position, the opposing transfer hook (
26) (26) pushes the pot stand (A) and presses the pot stand (A).
A) is transported a distance matched to the drive stroke of the slider (22). At this time, pot stand (A) (A)
Since it is placed on the guide crosspiece (11) (11), it is along the longitudinal direction of the shaking table (1).

After the pot stand (A) is transferred by a certain stroke as described above, the transfer hooks (26) (26) are rotated to an upright position by the operation of the rotary actuator (24). This allows the transfer hooks (26) (26
) is in a position where it is removed from the pot stand (A) (the position indicated by the broken line in Figs. 7 and 8), and when the transfer shaft (21) returns to the stroke while maintaining this position, each transfer hook (26) is removed from the pot stand (A). It will be located on the upstream side of (A) in the transport direction. After returning to this position, when the transfer hook (26) is rotated to a horizontal position by the operation of the rotary actuator (24), each part returns to its initial state (pot stand (
A) returns to a state in which it can be transported. Thereafter, if the series of operations described above is performed at a predetermined timing, the pot stand (A) will be intermittently transferred each time this operation is performed.

) to the receiving plate (41). Note that at this time, the relationship between the extrusion stroke by the second feeding device (33) and the position of the receiving plate (41) is set appropriately;
By the pushing operation of one of the second feeding devices (33), the edge of the pot stand (A) is pushed out to a position where it comes into contact with the upright sides of the receiving plates (41) (41).

Next, when the constant stroke transfer of the pot stand (A) on the shaking table (1) is completed, the transfer axis (
21) (21) returns to the initial state, and in this state, the output shaft of the air cylinder (E) retreats, and the receiving plate (41) that was in the receiving position descends to the input position. At this loading position, since the relationship between the receiving plate (41) and the shaking table (1) is set as described above, the receiving plate (41)
The top surface of (41) substantially coincides with the top surface of the shaking table (1) and faces the upstream end of the shaking table (1). Also, in this state, the transfer hooks (26) (

This shaking table (1) is constructed with respect to the longitudinal direction of the shaking table (1) by a crank mechanism (K) driven by a drive motor (M) and a link mechanism that suspends the shaking table (1). shaken at right angles. After this shaking state continues for a certain period of time, it is stopped, and when this is stopped, each pot stand (A) is intermittently transferred by a certain stroke by the above-mentioned action of the transfer means (2), and each auxiliary agent dispensing device ( When stopping at a position corresponding to 5), a predetermined amount of a specific type of auxiliary agent is dispensed into each staining pot (P). While each dyeing pot (P) with the auxiliary conditions set in this way remains housed in the pot stand (A), the shaking stand (1) is moved inside the constant temperature bath (8) set to the predetermined temperature condition. It is transported intermittently along the route over a predetermined period of time (the time required for staining). When the dye reaches the downstream end of the shaking table (1), the shaking-type dyeing test is completed, and the dye is taken out by the take-out device (7) at the take-out part (14), and is placed in the vicinity of the take-out table (6). When the robot (W) lifts it up, the take-out device (7)
is discharged from the hanging rod (71) to the take-out table (6). Then, the above series of operations will be performed continuously.

[Others] Note that a computer can be used to control the above series of operations, and the air cylinders (E) (E) used as each drive source and the second delivery device (
33), the slider (22) and rotary actuator (24) of the transfer means (2), the on-off valve (54) of the auxiliary agent dispensing device (5), and the feeding device (
F), etc., by outputting a predetermined operation signal from the computer at a predetermined timing, the output section related to the movement and dispensing of the pot stand (A) is operated so that the above series of operations proceeds smoothly. obtain. For example, in order to control the main parts of each of the above sections, a control program based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 13 may be executed. In the device that executes this control program, ■.
The operation of placing the pot stand (A) on the receiving plate (41) of the feeding device (4) at the receiving position, and ■. It is assumed that the operation of taking out the pot stand (A) by the take-out device (7) from the take-out part (14) is independently controlled by a separate control device.

When the control program shown in FIG. Every time the table (A) is loaded into the input section (13), it is placed on the shaking table (1) by the operation of the transfer means (2) (combined operation of the slider (22) and rotary actuator (24)). Ru. Until now, the drive motor (
When the most advanced pot stand (A) is transferred to the position corresponding to the auxiliary agent dispensing device (5) while M) remains stopped, the auxiliary agent dispensing device (5) and the feeding device (F) are moved. It works and the pot stand (
An auxiliary agent is dispensed into each dyeing pot (P) in A). At this time, the drive motor (M) operates and the shaking table (1) is in a shaking state, and when this shaking state passes for a certain period of time, the drive motor (M) stops and the shaking table (1) is in a shaking state. The shaking operation of step 1) is stopped, and in this state, the pot stand (A) is thrown into the feeding part (13) by the feeding device (4), and transferred to the shaking table (1) by the transfer means (2). At the same time, each pot table (A) placed on the shaking table (1) is transferred by a constant stroke. Thereafter, the shaking operation is restarted and the dispensing operation is performed, and after the shaking operation continues for a certain period of time, it is stopped. Thereafter, the series of operations described above is repeated. Therefore, in a device that executes this control program, for one pot stand (A), the shaking operation that continues for a certain period of time is performed intermittently, and the pot stand (A) moves over the transfer stand (1). The sum total of the shaking operations performed during the predetermined period of time during the transfer is the total shaking time.

On the other hand, the pot stand (
In order to take out A), the take-out device (7) and the take-out robot (W) are controlled by separate computers, and a control program based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 14 is executed. As a result, it is monitored whether the pot stand (A) is placed on the hanging rods (71) (71) of the take-out device (7) at the lowest position, and
) When the pot stand (A) is placed on the hanging rod (71) (71), the take-out device (7) operates and the pot stand (A) is placed in a position that matches the take-out stand (6). is lifted and this state is maintained, and when the pot stand (A) is transferred to the take-out stand (6) by the operation of the take-out robot (W), the take-out device (7) returns to its initial state and is suspended. The lowering levers (71) (71) return to the lowest position and stand by in a state where they can receive the pot stand (A). The hanging rods (71) (71) are located inside the transfer shafts (21) (21) on both sides of the pot stand (A) in the transfer direction, and are located at the most downstream end in the transfer direction. The transfer hooks (26) (26) of the shaft (21) are used to hang the pot stand (A) from the hanging rod (
71) In the state transferred to (71), the transfer means (2) is located away from the hanging rod (71).
The pot stand (A) can be taken out regardless of the operating state of the pot stand (A).

As described above, in the above embodiment, the operation of the main part is controlled by the computer, but it is also possible to control each part including the operation of the main part by sequence control. Further, as the pot stand (A), in addition to the above-mentioned embodiment, the configuration shown in FIG. 15 can also be adopted. In this example, the bottom of each dyeing pot (P) is attached to the pot stand (A) with three hard rubber claws (L) (L).
). Therefore, compared to the pot stand (A) mentioned above, the holding state of the dyeing pot (P) (P) is more stable, and there is no need to worry about the dyeing pot (P) moving on the pot stand (A) even under shaking conditions. There is no. Further, in the above embodiment, the auxiliary agent was dispensed under different conditions into each dyeing pot (P) supported by the pot stand (A), but
As shown in Figure 16, the six tubes (P) corresponding to all the staining pots (P) on the pot stand (A)
55) (55) is supported above the pot stand, branched and connected to each of the tubes downstream of the on-off valve (54) connected in series with the discharge pump (53), and supported on each pot stand (A). The auxiliary agent may be dispensed under the same conditions to all the dyeing pots (P) (P). In this case, various conditions can be set by changing the type of dye and the object to be dyed for each dyeing pot and changing the dyeing conditions for each dyeing pot. Further, in the above embodiment, the shaking operation of the shaking table (1) was stopped when the pot stand (A) was transferred by the transfer means (2), but the interval between the transfer shafts (21) (21) was changed. If the width is set sufficiently larger than the width of the pot stand (A), the pot stand (A) can be transferred from the loading position (13) to the shaking stand (1) without stopping the shaking operation. Of course, all the dyeing pots (P) on the pot stand (A)
) (P) can also be the same staining conditions.
