Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a steamer used for fixing or coloring a textile product provided with a dye, and more particularly to an apparatus capable of easily steaming a small lot of a dyed product. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Dye products need to be provided with a dye in a dye tank, a printing machine, an ink jet printer or the like, and then heated with a steamer to fix or develop the dye. The conventional steamer has a structure in which steam is supplied from a separate boiler, and the boiler has a structure in which steam is generated by combustion heat of fossil fuel.

[0003]

Conventional steamers are suitable for processing large quantities of textile products in dyeing plants. On the other hand, due to the recent diversification of demand, small lots of textile products are being sewn in rooms of urban buildings, and the demand for dyeing the sewn products is increasing. In such a case, the dye can be easily applied to the sewn product by using an ink jet printer or the like. However, for steaming, it is necessary to install a boiler and a steamer.

[0004] However, the conventional steamer is convenient for continuously processing a large number of products, but when it is made small, thermal efficiency and productivity are reduced. In particular, boilers leak large amounts of heat and steam, deteriorating the work environment, and have poor responsiveness when starting and stopping or changing the amount of heat. As a result, productivity is extremely reduced.

Therefore, the present invention can easily start and stop, control the amount of steam and the temperature easily and quickly, and reduce the amount of leaking steam and heat. Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus which can easily perform a small lot of dyed products in a good environment without deteriorating the work environment or imposing an excessive burden on the air conditioning equipment.

[0006]

The steamer for dyeing according to the present invention comprises an electromagnetic induction coil 32, a heating plate 31 induction-heated by the coil, a water supply nozzle 33 for supplying water droplets on the heating plate 31, and a water supply amount thereof. , A product shelf 4, a heater 21, and a housing 1 for accommodating them, and steam generated on the heating plate 31 and heated by the heater 21 is accommodated in the product shelf 4. It is supplied to a dyed fiber product.

[0007] Preferably, in the steamer provided with the above items, the product shelf 4 and the heater 21 are provided in the housing 1.
And a boiler room 3 containing the heating plate 31 and the water supply nozzle 33, and the boiler room 3 is arranged below the steam room 2. The steam pipe 37 connecting the boiler chamber 3 and the steam chamber 2 is provided with a large number of steam outlets 38 opening near the heater 21. The product shelf 4 is provided with a shelf 42 made of stainless steel wire mesh.
Put the product on and steam.

[0008]

The induction current is generated in the heating plate 31 by the high-frequency current flowing through the electromagnetic induction coil 32, and the heating plate 31 is heated. Heated heating plate 31
The water droplet jetted from the water supply nozzle 33 evaporates immediately and is guided to the steam chamber 2 through the steam pipe 37. If necessary, the heater 21 is energized to further heat the steam guided into the steam chamber 2.

Under atmospheric pressure, the temperature of steam generated on the heating plate 31 is 100 ° C. at the maximum. When the fiber is wool, cotton, nylon, or the like, steaming can be performed with steam at 100 ° C. However, polyester or the like requires heating at 170 to 180 ° C. Therefore,
The steam amount in the steam chamber 2 is controlled by controlling the amount of current of the heater 21 according to the material to be steamed.

[0010] The amount of steam supplied to the steam chamber 2 can be adjusted by controlling the amount of water injected onto the heating plate 31. The water droplets sprayed on the heating plate 31 evaporate immediately and are guided to the steam chamber 2, and the steam immediately after being guided to the steam chamber is heated to a required temperature by the heater 21 and stored in the product shelf 4. Since the product is heated, the response when controlling the amount of steam and the temperature is fast, and the time from when the apparatus is started to when it reaches a steady state is short. Therefore, efficient processing is also possible when processing fiber products having different steaming conditions in small lots.

[0011]

1 to 4 show an embodiment of a steamer for dyeing according to the present invention. Inside the casing 1, a steam chamber 2 is formed in an upper half portion, and an electromagnetic boiler 3 and a control device (not shown) are arranged below the steam chamber 2. The electromagnetic boiler 3 includes a heating plate 31 made of a conductive plate (usually an iron plate), an electromagnetic induction coil 32 for heating the heating plate, and a water supply nozzle 33 for spraying water droplets on the heating plate 31. . A high-frequency current generated by a high-frequency current generator 34 is supplied to the electromagnetic induction coil 32. Tap water is supplied to the water supply nozzle 33 by the pump 35. The jet of water from the nozzle 33
This is performed by on / off control of the water supply valve 36. In the illustrated device, two electromagnetic boilers 3 are provided.

At the bottom of the steam chamber 2, six electric heaters 21 are arranged in a plane, and steam pipes 37 extending from the respective electromagnetic boilers 3 are arranged below the electric heaters 21. The steam pipe 37 is provided with a number of steam ejection holes 38 oriented in the lateral direction.

A product shelf 4 is formed above the steam pipe 37 and the electric heater 21 in the steam chamber, and a stainless steel punching plate (perforated plate) 41 is arranged at the bottom of the product shelf. Lateral steam outlet 38 of steam pipe 37
The punching plate 41 is provided so that the heating steam is supplied as uniformly as possible to the fiber products stored in the product shelf 4 in multiple stages. The textile product to be processed is stored in the product shelf 4 while being placed on a tray (shelf plate) 42 made of stainless steel wire mesh. The ceiling 22 of the steam room 2 is provided with a slope so that water droplets condensed on the inside of the top plate of the housing 1 flow to the outside of the product shelf 4.

A drain port 23 is provided in the center of the bottom of the steam chamber 2, and water flowing down from the ceiling 22 or the wall surface of the casing flows out from the drain port 23. An exhaust pipe 24 having a damper 26 is provided on a top plate of the housing. The steam chamber 2 is a door 2 which is moved in parallel along an arc to open.
The door is opened to take out and put in the tray 42 containing the textile products. To take out the textile product after the end of the steaming, the door 25 is opened after the damper 26 of the exhaust pipe 24 is opened. By opening the damper 26, the heated steam in the steam chamber flows upward, and when the door 25 is opened by the parallel movement upward, the heated steam is prevented from flowing to the worker side when the door 25 is opened. ing.

In the apparatus shown in the figure, the electric heater 21 is arranged in a plane at the bottom in the steam chamber 2 and the steam is blown out below the electric heater 21. The steam pipe 37 and the heater 21 are connected to the steam chamber 2. How to arrange them inside the product shelf 4 is considered in consideration of the size of the steam room 2 and the uniform introduction of steam into the product shelf 4 and the number of man-hours (equipment cost) when manufacturing the equipment. Is to be determined. However, no matter how the steam pipe 37 and the heater 21 are arranged, when high-temperature steam is required, the steam pipe 37 is heated so that the steam flowing out of the steam pipe 37 is quickly heated by the heater 21. Of the heater 21
It is effective to provide it close to
