Abstract
A fluid-driven apparatus continuously feeds fabric in open-width form. The apparatus is associated in combination with a tumbler processing the fabric. The apparatus includes a tubular duct, with a substantially rectangular transversal cross section, has boundary walls which delimit an internal cavity inside the duct. A manifold supplies gaseous fluid into the duct through an opening formed in the top or bottom wall of the duct. Ports for the fluid extend in a direction longitudinal to the duct, into and out of the cavity. The manifold abuts the opening to divide the duct into two distinct stretches delimited by the manifold and by the ports. The manifold includes a diverter for selectively directing the fluid towards one of the stretches of the duct. A portion of one of the duct stretches is divergent in shape, with a transversal cross section increasing from the manifold to the respective end port.
Description
- This invention relates to a fluid driven apparatus for feeding a fabric in a process tumbler.
- Currently used in the textile industry are process apparatuses, called “tumblers”, in which fabrics of various kinds are subjected to treatment, for example mechanical and/or heat treatment, to create characteristic and distinctive effects for different types of fabric. The fabric is fed—for example in open-width form and continuously—according to a method known in the industry, by means of an apparatus of this kind, which is equipped with a tubular duct whose transversal cross section is substantially rectangular and whose length is typically at least three times its width.
- The duct comprises boundary walls which delimit an internal cavity inside the duct itself, ports for the passage of a gaseous fluid in a direction longitudinal to the duct into and out of the internal cavity and at least one lateral opening for the passage of the fluid in a transversal direction towards the internal cavity and made on the top and/or bottom wall of the duct.
- A supply manifold for directing the fluid towards the tubular duct is abutted against the top and/or bottom opening of the duct, dividing it into two distinct stretches respectively downstream and upstream of its position.
- Diverters associated with the supply manifold allow diverting the flow of gaseous fluid to one or the other of the two stretches of the duct which, depending on the direction fluid flow, operatively become delivery or suction duct stretches.
- By effect of movement of the fluid supplied by the supply manifold, diverted and flowing along the duct cavity towards the outlet afforded by one of the two ports, the fabric, at the other port at the opposite end of the duct, is sucked into the duct cavity together with the air and is forced to move along the cavity from one end to the other under the action of, and in the same direction as, the air flow.
- In the prior art, the tubular duct has walls which are equidistant from each other. That means the cross section of the duct through which the fluid flows is the same at all points of the duct.
- Although these feed apparatuses are widely used in this industry, they are not free of disadvantages and, depending on the type of fabric processed, can lead to critical conditions which are anything but negligible.
- In effect, when processing, for example, very stiff, coated fabrics, imitation leather or other material having a high surface friction coefficient, the fabric tends to stick to the duct very easily. Moreover, if the process also involves the use of hot air, the problem becomes even worse.
- As a result of the difficulty of moving along the duct, the fabric downstream of the manifold which blows air into the duct tends to curl up on itself, to increase its overall dimensions and to gradually reduce the size of the passage through which the air in the duct can flow.
- The residual flow passing through the duct becomes more and more turbulent, thus dissipating drive power and, as it loses carrying capacity, rapidly becomes unable to support and carry the fabric which eventually stops moving and occludes the duct.
- The aim of this invention is to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages. According to the invention, this aim is achieved by a fluid-driven apparatus for feeding a fabric and whose technical features are defined in the appended claims.
- Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the detailed description of a non-limiting example embodiment of such an apparatus, illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
- In the drawings:
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic longitudinal cross section of a fabric feed apparatus known to operators in the industry; -
FIG. 2 schematically represents the typical operation of the apparatus ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a schematic longitudinal cross section of an apparatus made according to this invention; -
FIG. 4 schematically represents the typical operation of the apparatus ofFIG. 3 in a scaled-up longitudinal cross section. - With reference to the accompanying drawings,
FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a prior art pneumatic apparatus for feeding a fabric in a tumbler—not illustrated—which processes fabrics in open-width form and continuously. -
FIG. 3 shows a fluid-drivenapparatus 1 of the kind shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , for feeding afabric 7 and which essentially comprises: atubular duct 2; amanifold 14 for supplyingflows tubular duct 2; and flow diverting means, embodied in this case by twoflap valves 8 associated with themanifold 14 and contained therein. - More specifically, the
duct 2 has a tubular profile with a substantially rectangular cross section and is provided with boundary walls at the top and bottom (11 a,11 b) and sides (not illustrated) delimiting aninternal cavity 12 inside the duct. - At opposite open ends of it, the duct is also provided with
ports flows duct 2. - Half way along it, the
tubular duct 2 is provided with fourfurther openings 13 formed in opposite pairs, passing through the top andbottom walls 11 a,11 b, of theduct 2. Connected to theopenings 13 of theduct 2 is themanifold 14 which, thanks to its position—substantially half way along theduct 2—divides the latter into two component stretches 15 a,15 b of equal length, one of which is delimited by themanifold 14 and theport 9 and the other by themanifold 14 and theport 10. - According to the invention, at least one of the two stretches 15 a,15 b—or preferably both of them—is divergent in shape, with a transversal cross section which increases in size from the
manifold 14 to theport stretch duct 2. - Small angles of
divergence 16 have been found to be surprisingly optimal. Angles not greater than three sexagesimal degrees are preferable. - In
FIGS. 3 and 4 , the divergence of thestretches duct 2 is advantageously obtained by inclining only thetop wall 11 a relative to the bottom wall 11 b. This solution has proved surprisingly more effective than the solution in which the divergence is obtained by inclining the bottom wall 11 b and keeping thetop wall 11 a horizontal or by inclining both of thewalls 11 a,11 b at an angle to the horizontal. In a further embodiment, each of the two stretches 15 a,15 b of theduct 2 has a constant cross section in a first portion of it adjacent to themanifold 14 and a divergent shape with increasing cross section in the second portion of it. - In use, the operation of the
apparatus 1 may be described with reference toFIG. 4 . As may be inferred fromFIG. 4 , the two air flows 3 and 4—if necessary, thermally conditioned and coming from a central preparation plant—come through themanifold 14 from different directions normal to theduct 2. Inside themanifold 14, the two air flows 5 and 6 are intercepted by theflap valves 8 and are diverted into thecavity 12 of theduct 2, one above thefabric 7 and the other below it, so as to flow through one of the two stretches in the same direction: in the case illustrated, thestretch 15 b of theduct 2. By effect of the two flows 6, thefabric 7 downstream of themanifold 14 is pushed by the two fluid flows 6. The pushing action causes thefabric 7 to be curled and creased, whilst upstream of themanifold 14 in thestretch 15 a, it is pulled and sucked into thecavity 12 together with the gaseous fluid—outside theduct 2—through theport 9 associated with theother stretch 15 a of theduct 2. - It should be noted that the divergence of the
stretches fabric 7 to be pneumatically supported and fed along theduct 2. - In effect, as is clear from
FIG. 4 , thefabric 7 just downstream of themanifold 14, although it starts curling, does not obstruct theflows 6 of gaseous fluid needed to move it. On the contrary, a virtuous circle is created in this zone of theapparatus 1, because: thanks to the divergence, theair flow 6 is kept relatively constant and able to support thefabric 7; consequently, the fabric becomes less curled and moves more rapidly than it does in conventional apparatuses, where the stretches of duct are provided with equidistant walls. Reduced curling has the further advantage of leaving a wider and more useful gap between thefabric 7 and thewalls 11 a,11 b. This wider useful gap has a twofold benefit. On the one hand, it gives the flow of gaseous fluid a greater capacity to support and carry the fabric; and on the other, by coming between thefabric 7 and thewalls 11 a,11 b, it prevents thefabric 7 from coming into contact therewith, thus limiting friction and allowing it to move forward with much less resistance. - In other words, therefore, the divergence of the
duct 2—all other conditions being equal—allows thefabric 7 to be fed much more effectively and under much more favourable conditions of resistance which are particularly useful with coated fabrics or resin-impregnated fabrics with high surface adhesiveness. - From
FIGS. 3 and 4 , it may be noted that theapparatus 1 is perfectly reversible, which means that what has been said in relation to thestretch 15 b of theduct 2 applies also to theother stretch 15 a, obviously if the operation of the process tumbler, that is, if the direction of movement of thefabric 7 therein, is reversed.
