Description

The present invention relates to a carpet continuous dyeing machine capable of expressing a blurred color pattern and the like.

Blurred color patterns are known as patterns that appear on carpets.
A blur-like color pattern is a color pattern having a gradation region in which colors change continuously. For example, a blur-like monochromatic pattern has a region in which one color is strongly expressed and a region in which the one color is lightly expressed, and the dark region is located between the two regions. It has a gradation area where the color gradually becomes lighter from the light to the lighter area. Further, the blur-like two-color pattern has a region in which the first color is strongly expressed and a region in which the second color is strongly expressed, and the above-mentioned is provided between the two regions. It has a gradation region in which the first color gradually fades and changes to the second color from the region of the first color to the region of the second color.

Such a blurred color pattern is performed by post-dyeing, which dyes the pile yarn of the carpet raw machine. As such post-dyeing, a method using an inkjet printing machine is known (Patent Document 1). The continuous dyeing method using an inkjet machine is a method of dyeing a raw machine by injecting a dye in a mist form from a printer head, and according to the inkjet method, various color patterns can be expressed.
However, since the inkjet printing machine injects the dye according to a predetermined pattern, only a predetermined blur-like color pattern can be displayed, and a natural-looking blur-like carpet as if the dye has exuded is obtained. Is difficult. Further, the inkjet printing machine has a problem that the printing speed is relatively slow and the productivity of the carpet is poor.

Further, a continuous dyeing method using a continuous dyeing machine that dyes the raw machine while the raw machine is being conveyed in the longitudinal direction is also known. The continuous dyeing method using a continuous dyeing machine is a method of dyeing a living machine by ejecting a dye onto the surface of the living machine to be conveyed from a plurality of nozzles arranged in the width direction of the living machine. The conventional continuous dyeing machine can dye a large amount of livestock by using only a single type of dye or a combination of an acid dye and a cationic dye, and is excellent in carpet productivity.
However, the continuous dyeing machine has a limit in the expression of the color pattern, and even if the acid dye and the cationic dye are used in combination as described above, it is difficult to obtain a natural-looking blurred carpet.

In addition, it has a plurality of nozzles that execute and stop the discharge of dyeing liquid by opening and closing the solenoid valve, and the dyeing liquid discharged from the nozzles is continuously supplied through the plate so as to flow uniformly on the tufted carpet original fabric. In a dyeing machine, the nozzles of the two dyeing liquid supply paths are alternately arranged in a straight line in the width direction, and the nozzles of one dyeing liquid supply path and the nozzle of the other dyeing liquid supply path are opened by opening and closing the solenoid valve. , A continuous dyeing machine is known in which these dyeing liquids are supplied onto a tufted carpet original fabric to dye them (Patent Document 2).
However, even if an existing continuous dyeing machine is to be modified into a continuous dyeing machine as in Patent Document 2, an electromagnetic valve and a control device thereof must be attached to each nozzle, and a large-scale equipment modification is required. In addition, due to the installation space, it may not be possible to install a solenoid valve or the like. On the other hand, a continuous dyeing machine having a solenoid valve or the like on a nozzle as in Patent Document 2 or a continuous dyeing machine modified by attaching a solenoid valve or the like to an existing nozzle may be modified to a nozzle without a solenoid valve. It becomes difficult to modify the nozzle by attaching other members.

In other words, the passage portion 41 of the shielding plate 4 is arranged below some of the discharge ports N1, N3, N5, N7, N9 among the plurality of discharge ports N1, ... Below the discharge ports N2, N4, N6, N8, and N10 other than the above, a shielding portion 42 which does not have a passing portion and is the surface of the shielding plate 4 is arranged. Hereinafter, some discharge ports corresponding to the passing portion 41 may be referred to as “passing portion corresponding discharge ports”, and discharge ports other than some discharge ports may be referred to as “non-corresponding discharge ports”.

In the illustrated example, the passing portion 41 is formed directly below the discharge ports N1, ..., But it does not have to be formed directly below. For example, the passing portion 41 is slightly displaced in the width direction and the longitudinal direction of the living machine B. May be good. In the present specification, "directly below" means a downward direction perpendicular to the raw machine B from the discharge ports N1, ....
Further, in the illustrated example, the hole portion formed in the shielding plate 4 is illustrated as the passing portion 41, but the passing portion 41 is not limited to the hole portion, for example, the cutout portion formed in the shielding plate 4. And so on. Although not shown in particular, the cutout portion can be formed by cutting out a part of the shielding plate 4 from the first side end 41a of the shielding plate 4, for example.

The dyeing agent emitted from the discharge ports N1, N3, N5, N7, and N9 corresponding to the passing portion falls downward due to its own weight, and does not interfere with the shielding plate 4 and passes through the hole portion which is the passing portion 41. It passes and shifts to the raw machine B side. The dyeing agent emitted from the non-corresponding discharge ports N2, N4, N6, N8, and N10 falls downward due to its own weight, is blocked by the shielding portion 42 which is the surface of the shielding plate 4, and does not move to the living machine B. The dyeing agent emitted from the non-corresponding discharge ports N2, N4, N6, N8, N10 hits the shielding portion 42 and flows to the second side end 4b side of the shielding plate 4 according to the inclination of the shielding plate 4, and is a collecting member. It is collected in the collection tank through 59.
The number of passing portions 41 corresponding to the discharge ports is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include the number of discharge ports × 1/4 to the number of discharge ports × 3/4. Since it is easy to control and can dye a wide variety of color patterns, the number of passing portions 41 corresponding to the discharge ports is preferably the number of discharge ports × 1/2.

The plan view shape of the passage portion 41 formed of the hole portion is not particularly limited, and in addition to the plan view substantially circular shape as shown in FIG. Examples include substantially polygonal shapes such as, and other irregular shapes. Since it is hard to get dirty and easy to clean, the hole is preferably a substantially circular shape in a plan view, a substantially elliptical shape in a plan view, or a polygonal shape with rounded corners, and has a substantially circular shape in a plan view. Is more preferable.
The size of the hole portion (passing portion 41) is not particularly limited, but is independently the inner diameter of the discharge port × 1.1 to the inner diameter of the discharge port × 2 based on the substantially circular shape in the plan view. Is preferable. In terms of specific numerical values, the size of the hole is preferably 3.3 mm to 80 mm in diameter, more preferably 5 mm to 30 mm in diameter, independently of the substantially circular shape in plan view. The size of the hole when the shape is not substantially circular in plan view is the diameter equivalent to the circle in the substantially circular shape in plan view. The size of each hole (each passage 41) may be the same or different.

The arrangement of the plurality of passing portions 41 can be appropriately set. In other words, the discharge ports N1, N3, N5, N7, N9 corresponding to the passing portion can be appropriately selected from the plurality of discharge ports N1, ...
In the illustrated example, for example, passing portions 41 are formed at positions directly below the first discharge ports N1, N3, N5, N7, and N9 connected to the first tank 631, and therefore, the first discharge is formed. The outlet is a discharge port for passing parts. On the other hand, the second discharge ports N2, N4, N6, N8, and N10 connected to the second tank 632 are regarded as non-corresponding discharge ports. Therefore, the passing portion 41 is provided on the shielding plate 4 in a pattern in which the passing portion 41 and the shielding portion 42 are alternately arranged one by one in the width direction.
The plurality of passing portions 41 formed at positions corresponding to the first discharge port are arranged in a row at predetermined intervals in the width direction of the shielding plate 4 in the pattern. The distance between the plurality of passing portions 41 is, for example, about twice the distance W1 of the discharge port.
However, the patterns of the passing portions 41 and the shielding portions 42 that are alternately arranged in the width direction are not limited to the case where they are alternately arranged one by one as described above, and can be changed as appropriate, and the shielding plate 4 In addition, two or more rows may be formed in which the arrangement patterns of the passing portion 41 and the shielding portion 42 are different.

Further, the continuous dyeing machine A is provided with a slide device for relatively moving the shielding plate 4 in the direction in which the plurality of discharge ports N1, ... Are arranged (the slide device is not shown).

Further, in the slide device, all the discharge ports N1, ... Are parallel to the first side and the second side in the width direction of the living machine B while maintaining the intervals between the plurality of discharge ports N1, ... Without moving the shielding plate 4. It may be moved, or the shielding plate 4 and all the discharge ports N1, ... May be moved in parallel to the first side and the second side in the width direction of the living machine B, respectively.

In another embodiment, the slide device translates at least one of the shielding plate 4 and the plurality of discharge ports N1, ... To the downstream side and the upstream side in the transport direction of the living machine B.
For example, the slide device moves the shielding plate 4 in parallel to the downstream side and the upstream side in the transport direction of the living machine B. Further, the slide device does not move the shielding plate 4 and moves all the discharge ports N1, ... In parallel to the downstream side and the upstream side in the transport direction of the living machine B while maintaining the intervals between the plurality of discharge ports N1, ... Alternatively, the shielding plate 4 and all the discharge ports N1, ... May be translated into the downstream side and the upstream side in the transport direction of the living machine B, respectively.

Further, in another embodiment, the slide device translates at least one of the shielding plate 4 and the plurality of discharge ports N1, ... In a direction inclined with respect to the width direction and the transport direction of the living machine B.
For example, the slide device may be a device that translates the shielding plate 4 in a direction inclined with respect to the width direction and the transport direction of the living machine B. Further, in the slide device, the shielding plate 4 is not moved, and all the discharge ports N1, ... Are inclined with respect to the width direction and the transport direction of the living machine B while maintaining the intervals between the plurality of discharge ports N1, ... Or, the shielding plate 4 and all the discharge ports N1, ... May be translated in the width direction of the living machine B and in the direction inclined with respect to the transport direction, respectively.
As shown in the illustrated example, when a shielding plate 4 having at least one row in which a plurality of passing portions 41 are arranged side by side in the width direction is used, the slide device includes the shielding plate 4 and the plurality of discharge ports N1, ... It is preferable that at least one of the two is moved in parallel to the first side and the second side in the width direction of the living machine B, and since it can be slid by a simple mechanism, the shielding plate 4 is moved to the first side in the width direction of the living machine B. And it is more preferable that it is translated to the second side.

The material of the shielding plate 4 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include metal, synthetic resin, glass, pottery, and combinations thereof. Above all, the shielding plate 4 is preferably made of stainless steel because it has excellent corrosion resistance and it is difficult for the dyeing agent to adhere to it.

(Induction plate)
The guide plate 5 is provided below the shield plate 4 as needed, and is interposed between the passing portion 41 of the shield plate 4 and the living machine B. The guide plate 5 can be formed by using, for example, a plate having an arbitrary surface shape such as a flat shape, a corrugated plate shape, or an uneven shape. In the illustrated example, the guide plate 5 is made of a flat plate having a flat surface, and has a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view. The back surface of the guide plate 5 may be flat as shown, or may be formed in any back surface shape such as a corrugated plate shape or an uneven shape, although not particularly shown. Further, the guide plate 5 is not limited to a flat plate, and a plate-shaped body having a bent portion or a plate-shaped body having a curved surface portion may be used.
As shown in FIG. 4, the first side end 5a of the guide plate 5 is preferably sharp in a side view. Since the first side end 5a of the guide plate 5 is sharp in the side view, the dyeing agent is cut well, and it becomes difficult for the dyeing agent flowing on the surface of the guide plate 5 to wrap around to the back surface side of the guide plate 5. ..
The material of the guide plate 5 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include metal, synthetic resin, glass, pottery, and combinations thereof. Above all, the guide plate 5 is preferably made of stainless steel because it has excellent corrosion resistance and it is difficult for the dyeing agent to adhere to it.

As shown in FIG. 4, the guide plate 5 is fixed to a skeleton side (not shown) such as a frame of an apparatus with its first side end 5a away from the surface of the living machine B. Further, a moving device (not shown) for moving the guide plate 5 up and down may be provided so that the first side end 5a of the guide plate 5 can be brought closer to or further away from the surface of the living machine B.
As shown in FIG. 5, the first side end 5a of the guide plate 5 of the illustrated example is linear in a plan view. However, the first side end 5a of the guide plate 5 has a wavy line shape, a zigzag shape, an arc shape or a bending shape in which the central portion in the width direction is recessed inward, and an arc shape or a bending shape in which the central portion in the width direction protrudes outward in a plan view. And so on.

A collecting member 59 for collecting the dyeing agent is provided on the second side end 5b of the guide plate 5. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, for example, the collecting member 59 is composed of an elongated groove member extending along the second side end 5b of the guide plate 5. The end portion 59a on one side in the width direction of the gathering member 59 is connected to a recovery tank (not shown) for collecting the dyeing agent.
The collecting member may be provided at the second side end 4b of the shielding plate 4.

When the first side end 5a of the guide plate 5 is separated from the living machine B, the linear length between the first side end 5a of the guide plate 5 and the surface of the living machine B is not particularly limited, but if it is too small, both If they come into contact with each other and are too large, the size of the apparatus is increased, and the dyeing agent that flows down from the first side end 5a of the guide plate 5 may bounce off the surface of the living machine B. From this point of view, it is preferable that the guide plate 5 is arranged so that the linear length between the first side end 5a of the guide plate 5 and the surface of the living machine B is 5 mm to 100 mm, which is 10 mm to 50 mm. It is more preferable that the guide plate 5 is arranged as described above.
When the moving device for moving the guide plate 5 up and down is provided, the linear length can be finely adjusted to an appropriate distance according to the manufacturing conditions, the environment, and the like.
As shown in FIG. 5, the length of the guide plate 5 in the width direction is larger than the width of the raw machine B conveyed by the transfer device 3. Therefore, both ends in the width direction of the guide plate 5 are in the width direction of the raw machine B. It protrudes outward from both ends.
Further, the length of the guide plate 5 (the length of the guide plate 5 corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the living machine B) is not particularly limited, but if it is too small, the area through which the dyeing agent is transmitted may become too small. From this point of view, the length of the guide plate 5 is preferably 100 mm or more, more preferably 200 mm or more. Further, if the length of the guide plate 5 is too large, the size of the apparatus is increased. Therefore, the length of the guide plate 5 is preferably 1500 mm or less.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the side view, the first side end 5a of the guide plate 5 is made lower than the second side end 5b, and the surface thereof is non-parallel to the surface of the living machine B. It is arranged like this. Preferably, the guide plate 5 is arranged so that the internal angle α5 formed by the surface of the guide plate 5 and the surface of the living machine B exceeds 0 degrees and is 90 degrees or less, and more preferably, the internal angle α5 is 10 degrees or more. The guide plate 5 is arranged so as to be 80 degrees, and more preferably, the guide plate 5 is arranged so that the internal angle α5 is 30 degrees to 70 degrees. By arranging the guide plate 5 at an acute angle with respect to the living machine B in this way, the dyeing agent flows satisfactorily from the surface of the guiding plate 5 to the surface of the living machine B.
However, when the guide plate 5 has a bent portion or a curved surface portion, the internal angle α5 formed by the surface of the guide plate 5 and the surface of the living machine B is an average angle.
Further, an angle adjusting device (not shown) may be provided on the guide plate 5 so that the internal angle α5 can be changed. If the internal angle α5 is made small, the dyeing agent can be spread more easily, and if the internal angle is made large, the dyeing agent can be guided to the living machine B at an early stage.

Further, a vibrating device (not shown) for vibrating the guide plate 5 may be provided. The vibrating device vibrates the guide plate 5 in parallel with the width direction of the living machine B, vibrates the guide plate 5 in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the living machine B, and brings the guiding plate 5 closer to the living machine B, or It has at least one motion selected from the motion of vibrating in the vertical direction to move away. The vibration of the guide plate 5 can change the way the dyeing agent is mixed on the guide plate 5. If the vibration width of the guide plate 5 by the vibrating device is too small, there is substantially no effect of vibration, and if it is too large, the dyeing agent may leak significantly from the guide plate 5. From this point of view, the vibration width of the guide plate 5 is preferably about 0.3 mm to 10 mm.

The pile yarn is not particularly limited as long as it can be dyed with a dyeing agent in a dyeing step described later, and may be an uncolored pile yarn itself or a pile yarn colored in a desired color.
As the pile yarn, conventionally known yarns can be used, and examples thereof include synthetic fibers made of thermoplastic resin and the like, natural fibers such as cotton and wool, and mixed fibers of synthetic fibers and natural fibers. The material of the synthetic fiber is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include polyamide, acrylic, polyester, polypropylene, polyvinyl alcohol, polyurethane, cellulose, and polyvinyl chloride. Since it can be dyed well in various colors, it is preferable to use a pile yarn containing a polyamide-based resin fiber or a pile yarn composed of only a polyamide-based resin fiber.
The pile yarn tufted on the base fabric may be a cut pile or a loop pile. The pile height is also not particularly limited, and is, for example, 1 mm to 20 mm, preferably 2 mm to 10 mm. Further, the pile height may be constant or different. By tufting the pile yarns at different pile heights, an uneven pattern due to the pile height can be formed on the surface of the raw machine B.
After the pile yarn is tufted on the base fabric to form the raw machine B, a sealing layer made of an adhesive or the like is formed on the back surface of the base fabric to prevent the pile yarn from unraveling, if necessary. You may.

<Transport process>
The transporting step is a step of transporting the undyed raw machine B.
The undyed raw machine B is conveyed in the longitudinal direction by using the transfer device 3 of the continuous dyeing machine A. The raw machine B is dyed in the dyeing step described later during the transportation of the raw machine B. Before the dyeing step, the pile yarn of the raw machine B may be subjected to a pretreatment such as contacting water or chemicals.
The transport speed of the raw machine B is not particularly limited, and may be a conventionally known speed, for example, 1 m / min to 25 m / min.

<Dyeing process>
The dyeing step is a step of discharging a dyeing agent from a plurality of discharge ports N1, ... Arranged in the width direction of the living machine B, and dyeing the living machine B with the dyeing agent. In particular, in the continuous dyeing method of the present invention, in the dyeing step, the dyeing agent discharged from some of the plurality of discharge ports N1, ... It is characterized in that the dyeing agent discharged from the outlet is guided to the outside of the living machine B.
Specifically, in the transport device 3 of the continuous dyeing machine A, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the dyeing agent is discharged from all the discharge ports N1, ... Arranged during the transport to the raw machine B during the transport. NS.
As described above, in the continuous dyeing machine A provided with a plurality of tanks 631, 632, different dyeing agents are usually put into the respective tanks 631, 632. However, even when a plurality of tanks 631 and 632 are provided, the same dyeing agent may be added to each of the tanks 631 and 632 for continuous dyeing.
The different dyeing agents are (a) a dyeing agent having a different color for dyeing pile yarn, (b) a dyeing agent having the same color but different in color intensity, and (c) a dyeing agent having the same color but different color. Select from (d) different types of dyeing agents (for example, acid dyes and cationic dyes are different types of dyeing agents), (e) described above (a) to (d), which have different concentrations of themselves. There are at least two combinations, and the like.

For example, the first tank 631 contains a dyeing agent capable of dyeing the pile yarn in a desired color (for example, blue), and the second tank 632 dyes the pile yarn in a different color (for example, white). A dyeing agent that can be used is added. Further, for example, an acid dye having a desired color is placed in the first tank 631, and a cationic dye having a desired color is placed in the second tank 632. Hereinafter, these different dyeing agents may be referred to as a first dyeing agent and a second dyeing agent.
In the above, the dyeing machine A having two sets of dyeing agent supply units including a tank, a supply tube and a discharge port is shown, but when three or more sets of dyeing agent supply units are provided, each of them is shown. It is preferable that different dyeing agents are discharged from the supply unit of the above.
Further, the dyeing agent to be put into each tank 631,632 may be a combination of various dyes, for example, a mixed dye in which an acid dye and a cationic dye are mixed, or a plurality of acidic dyes are mixed and adjusted to a desired color. It may be a dye or the like.

The type of dyeing agent can be appropriately set according to the pile yarn, and examples thereof include dyes and pigments, and dyes are preferably used. Examples of the type of dye include acidic dyes, cationic dyes, metal-containing dyes, disperse dyes, direct dyes, reactive dyes, fluorescent dyes, sulfide dyes, and combinations thereof.
As the dyeing agent, a liquid one having fluidity is used.
The viscosity of the dyeing agent is not particularly limited, but if the viscosity is too high, the dyeing agent does not flow well on the surface of the induction plate 5, and if the viscosity is too low, the dyeing agent flows along the surface of the induction plate 5 at an early stage. There is a risk of From this point of view, the viscosity of the dyeing agent is preferably 0.6 mPa · s to 100 mPa · s, more preferably 0.6 mPa · s to 10 mPa · s.
However, the viscosity is measured at 23 ° C. using an E-type viscometer (model "VISCONIC E" manufactured by Tokyo Keiki Co., Ltd., rotation speed 25 to 100 RPM).

The discharge rate of the dyeing agent from each of the discharge ports N1, ... Is not particularly limited, and is independently, for example, 0.2 to 10 L (liter) / min, preferably 0.5 to 5 L (liter). ) / Min. By setting the discharge rate within the above range, it is possible to effectively prevent the dyeing agent from bouncing off on the shielding portion 42 of the shielding plate 4 and on the guide plate 5.

The dyeing agent discharged from each of the discharge ports N1, ... Is selectively guided to the guide plate 5 by the shielding plate 4.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, with respect to the relationship between the shielding plate 4 and the discharge ports N1, ..., each passing portion 41 corresponds directly under the first discharge port N1, N3, N5, N7, N9. When the shielding plate 4 is initially positioned (referred to as the initial position), the dyeing agent from the discharge ports N1, N3, N5, N7, N9 corresponding to the passing portion passes through the passing portion 41 and reaches the surface of the guide plate 5. drop down. The dyeing agent from the non-corresponding discharge ports N2, N4, N6, N8, N10 is blocked by the shielding portion 42 of the shielding plate 4, flows along the surface of the shielding plate 4 to the collecting member 59, and is collected. ..
The discharge properties of the dyeing agent from each of the discharge ports N1, ... Are not particularly limited, but the dyeing agent from the discharge ports N1, N3, N5, N7, N9 corresponding to the passing portion surely passes through the passing portion 41 of the shielding plate 4. It is preferable to discharge the dyeing agent downward in a substantially linear shape from the discharge ports N1, ...
In the illustrated example, the dyeing agent emitted from each of the discharge ports N1, ... Drops downward as it is due to its own weight.

The first dyeing agent is discharged from the first discharge port N1, N3, N5, N7, N9 which is the discharge port corresponding to the passing portion, and the second discharge port N2, N4, N6, N8, N10 which is the non-corresponding discharge port is the first. When the two dyeing agents are discharged, the first dyeing agent passes through the passing portion 41, flows on the guide plate 5, flows along the surface of the guide plate 5, and flows to the first side end 5a side, and the second dyeing is performed. The agent flows along the surface of the shielding plate 4 from the second side end 4b to the collecting member 59.
Then, the first dyeing agent flowing on the guide plate 5 moves from the first side end 5a to the surface of the living machine B while spreading in the width direction toward the first side end 5a side of the guide plate 5. do.
In addition, in FIGS. 7 to 9, in order to make it easy to understand, innumerable dots are attached to the first dyeing agent, and the second dyeing agent is shaded for convenience. Hereinafter, in other figures in which the first dyeing agent and the second dyeing agent are represented, the first dyeing agent is marked with innumerable dots and the second dyeing agent is shaded.
The first dyeing agent from the discharge ports N1, N3, N5, N7, N9 corresponding to each passing portion is applied in a band shape in the longitudinal direction of the living machine B, and the band-shaped dyed portion has a central portion in the width direction. It is dyed the darkest, becomes lighter toward both sides in the width direction, and becomes very lightly dyed between adjacent strip-shaped dyed parts.
In this way, in the width direction of the living machine B, a portion gradually becomes lighter between the darkly dyed portions, and a gradation in which the color changes continuously is formed between the darkly dyed portions on the surface of the living machine B. This gradation area becomes a blur of the natural texture, and the raw machine B can be dyed with the first dyeing agent in a color pattern having a handmade feeling.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the discharge port corresponding to the passing portion can be changed by relatively moving the shielding plate 4 from the initial position in the width direction by a slide device (not shown).
For example, when the shielding plate 4 is moved in the width direction from the initial position by the interval W1 of the discharge ports, the passing portion 41 is located below the second discharge ports N2, N4, N6, N8, N10. That is, before the shield plate 4 was moved, the passing portion 41 was arranged below the first discharge ports N1, N3, N5, N7, and N9 as shown in FIG. By moving the shielding plate 4 relative to the width direction by the amount corresponding to W1, the passing portion 41 is arranged below the second discharge port N2, N4, N6, N8, N10 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the discharge ports corresponding to the passing portion after the shielding plate 4 is relatively moved are the second discharge ports N2, N4, N6, N8, and N10.
After the fact, by discharging the dyeing agent from each of the discharge ports N1, ..., The second dyeing agent passes through the passing portion 41, flows on the guide plate 5, and travels on the surface of the guide plate 5 to the first side. It flows toward the end side, and the first dyeing agent flows along the surface of the shielding plate 4 to the collecting member 59. As shown in FIG. 11, the second dye flowing on the guide plate 5 spreads in the width direction toward the first side end 5a side of the guide plate 5, and from the first side end of the living machine B. After moving to the surface, the raw machine B can be dyed with a second dyeing agent in a handmade color pattern in the same manner as described above.

[Continuous dyeing machine for carpet according to the second embodiment]
As described in the first embodiment, the continuous dyeing machine A may be configured by using the shielding plate 4 for the continuous dyeing machine having the uneven surface shape, and the second embodiment has the uneven surface. The present invention relates to a specific example of a shielding plate 4 for a continuous dyeing machine having a shape.
Hereinafter, the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the description thereof, configurations and effects different from those of the above-described embodiments will be mainly described, and for similar configurations, terms or symbols are used as they are, and the same. The description of the configuration may be omitted (the same applies to the third and subsequent embodiments).

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the continuous dyeing machine A of the second embodiment has a shielding plate 4 having an uneven surface.
For example, a plurality of downwardly recessed recesses 7 are formed on the surface of the shielding plate 4, and the plurality of recesses 7 are arranged in the width direction at predetermined intervals. A convex portion is formed between the two adjacent concave portions 7. The unevenness is determined by the relative relationship between the concave and the convex, and the concave portion 7 is a portion protruding downward with respect to the surface of the convex portion. A passing portion 41 is formed in the recess 7.
The surface of the convex portion is included in a part of the flat surface of the shielding plate 4, and the surface of the convex portion is the shielding portion 42. Therefore, in the shielding plate 4, recesses 7 having a passing portion 41 and convex portions forming the shielding portion 42 are arranged alternately in the width direction in the width direction.

The recess 7 includes a bottom surface portion 71 which is the most downwardly recessed portion, a back wall portion 72 formed between the second side end and the convex portion of the bottom surface portion 71, and both side ends of the bottom surface portion 71. It has both side wall portions 73, 73 formed between the convex portion and the convex portion. The portion surrounded by these wall portions 72 and 73 is a recess 7.
A hole is formed in the bottom surface 71 of the recess 7 as a passing portion 41. As will be described later, since the dyeing agent that has entered the recess 7 satisfactorily flows down from the passing portion 41, the passing portion 41 is formed in the vicinity of the back wall portion 72 or is formed on the back surface as shown in the drawing. It is preferable that the wall portion 72 is formed including a part of the wall portion 72.
The back wall portion 72 is formed orthogonal to the surface of the convex portion as shown in the illustrated example because the dyeing agent that has entered the concave portion 7 satisfactorily flows down from the passing portion 41. preferable. However, the back wall portion 72 may be formed so as to be inclined with respect to the surface of the convex portion.
Since the dyeing agents that have entered the recesses 7 can be satisfactorily guided to the passing portions 41, the wall portions 73 and 73 on both side surfaces are inclined surfaces that are inclined with respect to the surface of the convex portions, as shown in the illustrated example. It is preferable that the surface is inclined downward toward the passing portion 41 side. The inclined surface may be a flat surface, or may be a curved surface (particularly a curved surface bulging downward) as shown in the illustrated example.
In the illustrated example, the collecting member 49 for collecting the dyeing agent is provided at the second side end of the shielding plate 4, but the collecting member may be provided on the guide plate as in the first embodiment. ..

The width W2 of the recess 7 is not particularly limited and can be set as appropriate. For example, the width W2 of the recess 7 is greater than or equal to the distance W1 between the two adjacent discharge ports and less than the distance between both ends of the three continuous discharge ports. The distance between both ends of the three consecutive discharge ports is twice the distance W1 between the two adjacent discharge ports. In the illustrated example, the width W2 of the recess 7 is slightly larger than the distance W1 between the two adjacent discharge ports.
The width W3 of the convex portion is not particularly limited and can be set as appropriate. For example, the width W3 of the convex portion is larger than the diameter of one discharge port and less than the distance W1 between two adjacent discharge ports. In the illustrated example, the width W3 of the convex portion is slightly smaller than the distance W1 between the two adjacent discharge ports.
Further, in the illustrated example, as the initial position, the shielding portion 42 (the surface of the convex portion) is located below the first discharge port N1, N3, N5, N7, N9, and the second discharge port N2, N4, N6. , N8, N10, the shielding plate 4 is arranged so that the passing portion 41 (recessed portion 7) is located below.

Next, the use of the continuous dyeing machine of the second embodiment and the continuous dyeing method will be described.
In the same manner as in the first embodiment, the undyed living machine is conveyed, the dyeing agent is discharged from the plurality of discharge ports N1, ..., And the living machine is dyed with the dyeing agent.
As shown in FIG. 14, the first dyeing agent is discharged from the first discharge port N1, N3, N5, N7, N9 which is a non-corresponding discharge port, and the second discharge port N2, N4 which is a passage corresponding discharge port. When the second dyeing agent is discharged from N6, N8, N10, the first dyeing agent flows from the shielding portion 42 along the surface of the shielding plate 4 to the collecting member 49, and the second dyeing agent enters and passes through the recess 7. It passes through the portion 41 and flows onto the guide plate 5. By flowing the second dyeing agent from the guide plate 5 onto the living machine B, the living machine B can be dyed with the second dyeing agent in a color pattern having a handmade feeling, as in the first embodiment.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the discharge port corresponding to the passing portion can be changed by relatively moving the shielding plate 4 from the initial position in the width direction by a slide device (not shown).
For example, when the shielding plate 4 is relatively moved from the initial position in the width direction by half the distance W1 between the discharge ports, the recesses 7 are located below the two adjacent discharge ports, as shown in FIG. In the illustrated example, one recess 7 is located below the first discharge port N1 and the second discharge port N2, and similarly, the first discharge port N3 and the second discharge port N4, the first discharge port N5 and the second discharge port N5 and the second discharge port N2. Recesses 7 are located below the outlets N6, the first discharge port N7 and the second discharge port N8, and the first discharge port N9 and the second discharge port N10, respectively. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16, the first dyeing agent and the second dyeing agent enter the recess 7, pass through the passing portion 41 while being mixed in a disorderly manner, and are transferred to the living machine B through the guide plate 5. Therefore, the raw machine B can be dyed in a color in which the first dyeing agent and the second dyeing agent are mixed in a disorderly manner. You can also get the marble pattern carpet.

Further, when the shielding plate 4 is further moved relative to the same side in the width direction by half the distance W1 of the discharge ports by the slide device (not shown), it is below the first discharge ports N1, N3, N5, N7, N9. The passing portion 41 (recessed portion 7) is located, and the shielding portion 42 (surface of the convex portion) is located below the second discharge port N2, N4, N6, N8, N10. Similarly, the raw machine B can be dyed with a first dyeing agent in a color pattern having a handmade feel. In this case, it means that the shielding plate 4 is relatively moved in the width direction from the initial position by the amount corresponding to the interval W1 of the discharge port.

In this embodiment, the width W2 of the recess 7 can be changed as appropriate. For example, the width W2 of the recess 7 is set to be equal to or greater than the distance between both ends of the three continuous discharge ports and less than the distance between the four continuous discharge ports, and different dyeing agents are used as the dyeing agents from the three consecutive discharge ports. It is also possible to obtain two or more types of marble-patterned carpets with a blurred tone.
