Description

Variable swing angle independent temperature control color tester

The present invention relates to a color testing machine, in particular, it is a transmission method different from the traditional color testing machine, which can make the swing angle of the color testing cup change, and can achieve the variable swing of fully mixing the dye solution and the gray cloth fiber. Angle independent temperature control color tester.

Before mass production of textiles, it is necessary to use a color testing machine for color testing in the laboratory. The correct ratio of dyes and various chemicals can be obtained through color testing, and the correct color and effect can be obtained when transferring to mass production.

Generally, there are the following common problems in the color test process of the color test machine in the laboratory of the dyeing and finishing factory:

1. In the first type of color tester, the color test cup is "fixed" and rotated at 90 degrees to the horizontal direction:

Although this method can achieve partial mixed impact effects, it has the following disadvantages:

(1) It is a turntable color tester. This method of placing the test cup on the turntable and rotating it is to use gravity to let the dye solution flow in the test cup when the test cup is rotating. However, due to the centrifugal force factor during rotation, if the rotation speed is too fast, the dye solution will be concentrated at one end of the test cup due to the centrifugal force and cannot flow; if the rotation is too slow, the dye solution will be affected by insufficient circulation, which will affect the color sample fiber dyeing in the test cup. Uniformity, its scope of use is limited.

(2) The color sample is easy to wrinkle into a ball, and it is not easy to be flat, and the dyeing is not easy to be even when there are wrinkles.

(3) Excessive impact of the color sample may damage the fabric surface.

2. In the second type of color tester, the color test cup is "fixed" with the horizontal direction and rotated at about 45 degrees:

This kind of color test machine can improve some of the shortcomings of the first color test machine, but the angle of the color test cup is "fixed" at about 45 degrees, which cannot be applied to the diversity of color sample fabrics.

3. In the third type of color testing machine, the color test cup is in a fixed position, and the motor is used to drive the blade to stir the dye solution in the test cup, or the magnetic force or pull rod is used to stir the dye solution in the test cup, or the pump ( PUMP) to circulate the dye solution in the test cup.

Although this third type of color tester can also achieve the effect of mixing and impacting the dye solution in the color test cup, it has the following disadvantages:

(1) If the amount of water is too small, the circulation will be insufficient and the dyeing will be uneven; if the amount of water is too much, the bath ratio will be too high, which is too different from the actual mass production conditions.

(2) The mechanism is complicated, the volume is too large, and the investment cost is high.

(3) If the fabric fibers are fixed and only the dye solution circulates, the penetration of the dye solution will not be enough to pass through the multi-layer fiber fabrics of the fabric, which will affect the uniformity of the fabric dyeing.

There are above-mentioned problems in the above-mentioned known color testing machine in the laboratory of dyeing and finishing factory, and it really needs to be overcome.

Yes, the inventor is based on the concept of innovation, based on years of professional practical experience in the development of equipment in this technical field, and actively concentrating on research and development thinking, through countless actual design experiments, resulting in the generation of the present invention.

The present invention is to provide a method for making the color test cup form any swing angle change and timing change, which can fully mix the dyeing liquid and the gray cloth fiber, and can be modularized and extended infinitely. Arbitrary expansion and series connection form modularization, achieve unmanned operation, automatic filling of color test cups, so that the color samples can be small and diverse, and the variable swing angle independent temperature control color test machine is in response to the rapid fashion trend of textile colors.

In order to achieve the above, the color testing machine of the present invention includes a machine platform, a carrying plate, a front and rear swinging transmission unit, a left and right swinging transmission unit, and a control unit, wherein the two sides of the carrying plate are movably pivoted to the machine platform, and the The carrying plate includes at least one color test cup set, and the color test cup set includes a color test cup; the front and rear swing transmission unit is used to drive the support plate to form at least a forward and backward swing movement; the left and right swing transmission unit is used to drive the color test The cup set forms at least a left and right swinging action; the control unit is electrically connected to the color test cup set, the front and rear swing transmission unit and the left and right swing transmission unit, and the front and rear swing transmission unit and the left and right swing transmission unit are based on the parameters set by the control unit Command control drives the color test cup set to form at least front and rear, left and right swing angle changes.

The color testing machine of the present invention can drive the color testing cup group to form swing angle changes and timing changes, so that the dyeing solution and gray cloth of the color testing cups in the color testing cup group have different degrees of contact, impact strength and mixing, so as to achieve uniform dyeing of color samples and flat surface effect.

Beneficial effects include:

1. By means of the control unit, front and rear swing transmission unit, and left and right swing transmission unit to drive the color test cup group to form a change in front and rear, left and right swing angles, the color test machine in the laboratory of the dyeing and finishing factory can better match the mass production conditions and accurately dye color samples .

2. The color test cup set is an independent temperature control module and can be extended infinitely, so that the color test cup The color samples can be varied in small quantities to solve the problem of rapid fashion trends in textile colors.

3. In some embodiments, by expanding the delivery device and the mechanical arm, the independent machines can be expanded and connected in series to form modularization, so as to achieve unmanned operation and automatic filling of color test cups.
