Automatic dyeing tester {AUTOMATED LABORATORY DYEING MACHINE}

The present invention relates to a dyeing tester for automating the dyeing test process, and more particularly, by automating the dyeing test to improve the reliability of the experimental data, improve the dye reproducibility, and improve the quality of the dyeing test within a short time The present invention relates to an improved automatic dyeing tester that can repeatedly improve the work productivity of dyeing experiments by repeatedly performing high quality experiments.

Generally, dyeing experiments are repeatedly performed on small samples in laboratories such as dyeing factories and dyeing-related laboratories. Such experiments are conducted as a means to determine the physicochemical properties of a particular material, dye or preparation in relation to dyeing, or to determine the dyeing prescription, ie the mixing ratio of the dye or preparation, in accordance with the color required by the consumer. In order to fully achieve the purpose of such experiments, it is only possible to perform repeated experiments in a laboratory equipped with precise measuring instruments by skilled technicians for several years.

In the related art, most of the dyeing factories or dyeing institutes have been experimenting with dyeing experiments by pure manual labor using precision measuring instruments for many years.

Conventionally, in order to test cotton reactive dyeing, a large number of experimental experts cut the specimen, and put a dye solution (hereinafter referred to as salt solution) made by weighing dyes, forget-me-not and water into an experimental container, and then put the specimen again. In the dyeing test apparatus, which is placed in a conventional dyeing test apparatus, that is, a dyeing test apparatus in which a shaker structure is installed in a constant temperature water tank, the test vessel containing the specimen is installed in the shaker structure, followed by continuous shaking. After approximately 30 minutes, staining is carried out, and the experimental container is taken out, and the weighed alkali preparation is carefully added so as not to directly contact the specimen, and then shaken by adding it to a conventional dyeing tester.

When the total elapsed time elapses for 1 hour and 30 minutes, the test container is taken out and the salt solution is discarded. Then, the test piece is taken out, placed in a soaping pot, and the detergent and water are added. After washing the specimen in the dehydrator in the dehydrator, and put it in the dryer again and dry, the series of experiments is completed.

As described above, the conventional experimental method is that only the manual and carefully performing the necessary steps for each process by a skilled experiment professional in time. However, such a conventional experimental method actually causes a problem in the reliability of the experimental data due to technical differences in the experimental personnel, and thus the experimental work due to the problem of reproducible dyeing with the production site and the increase in the number of experiments to be performed in the laboratory. Productivity was very low.

Meanwhile, the future direction of the dyeing industry is that the demand for dyeing of large quantities of small quantities of large quantities is increasing gradually rather than dyeing of large quantities of small items. Therefore, in the dyeing industry, a number of dyeing experiments must be performed so as not to be compared with the number of conventional experiments. For this purpose, a method of expanding a large number of experimental experts is required. However, in reality, it is very difficult to realize the reality due to lack of professional manpower and labor cost burden.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve the conventional problems as described above, the object of which is to improve the reliability of the experimental data, to improve the dye reproducibility, and to improve the quality of the dyeing experiment by shortening the time by automating the dyeing experiment It is to provide an improved automatic dyeing tester to greatly improve the work productivity of the dyeing experiment by repeatedly performing a number of high quality experiments.

In addition, the present invention can be carried out a dyeing experiment excellent in high-quality dye reproducibility, even by inexperienced workers can be easily and precisely repeated dyeing experiments according to a predetermined program so as to suit the small variety production system It is to provide an automatic dye tester.
