Definitions

the invention relates to a device for the wet treatment of textile goods in the form of an endless strand.
the device consists of a closable container which is divided into a dwell zone which receives the strand in loops and an acceleration zon arranged above it and which circulates the strand.
the dwell zone is formed by an arcuate channel with an inlet and outlet opening pointing in the direction of the acceleration zone.
the acceleration zone contains a deflection roller which is freely rotatably mounted above the outlet opening of the channel and a ring nozzle which can be acted upon by a radial fan with a gas stream.
the outlet opening of the ring nozzle points in the direction of the inlet opening of the channel.
Nozzles that act on the strand with the treatment liquor are arranged downstream of the ring nozzle in the strand circulation direction.
Such a device is known from French patent application 87 12171 (2 619 834) and makes it possible to accelerate the strand more gently and to keep it in continuous circulation by using a gaseous drive medium for the strand instead of the otherwise usual liquid treatment medium.
the gas flow generated by a radial fan inserted in the container center and fed directly from the container interior is not only a gentler drive means in contrast to the treatment liquor, but also simplifies the device construction and lowers the operating costs of the device compared to devices of another type operated with the treatment liquor as the drive medium.
the known device has two particularly significant disadvantages: On the one hand, it results from the central arrangement of the radial fan in the interior of the container that treatment liquor is inevitably entrained with the gas stream sucked in from this and consequently a gas / liquid mixture acts less gently on the strand than a purely gaseous drive means. In addition, the known device requires a higher drive power for the non-purely gaseous funding.
the blower axis which is arranged essentially coaxially with the horizontal container axis, prevents several textile strands from being treated in succession independently of one another within the container, which would represent a significant economic improvement with regard to the construction and operating expenditure for such machines.
the radial blower provided with a drive motor to be arranged outside the container cannot be coupled to further radial blowers arranged coaxially if these require individual torques and speeds for various reasons.
the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type described in such a way that a radial fan can be arranged in a simple manner in the interior of the container, the suction-side intake area of which is effectively shielded from the liquor, and that, in addition, several strand circulation paths can be formed in the interior of the container , each of which can be assigned a radial fan that can be operated independently.
the radial fan to be arranged directly thereafter can be introduced into the interior of the container in a simple manner.
the vertical alignment of the axis of the radial blower connected with its housing to the inside of the container makes it possible, by means of the axial extent of the container, to place several radial blowers arranged in this way flat against the container ceiling, to withdraw them from the catchment area of the fleet and to drive them independently of one another.
the opposite arrangement of the ceiling-side opening in the housing of the radial fan and the ceiling opening of the container allows free access to the interior of the fan housing, so that the fan impeller is easy to remove and install for maintenance and inspection purposes.
a guide tube which is pivotable about a vertical axis and opens into the inlet opening of the channel is arranged on the outlet side of the ring nozzle.
the guide tube which can be swiveled horizontally back and forth, for example by means of a crank mechanism, feeds the textile strand to the inlet opening of the arcuate channel, so that the textile strand is deposited therein with an even formation of loops and can in this form pass through the dwelling zone in an organized manner.
the inlet opening of the channel which is rectangular in cross section, is equipped with at least one row of nozzles which can be acted upon by treatment liquor at two opposite, horizontally extending opening reveals.
the textile strand is continuously wetted with a curtain from the treatment liquor before it is completely or partially immersed in the treatment liquor in the lower region of the channel.
an embodiment of the invention provides that the nozzles can be acted upon via pressure lines of a pump which is connected to a suction line starting from the bottom region of the container.
the device according to the invention can be operated with an extremely small and therefore particularly economical liquor ratio if all auxiliary units, such as radiators, liquor pumps and filters, are arranged below the liquor level which is established in the channel of the dwell zone. A sufficient amount of liquor is therefore always available on the suction side of the pump even with a liquor ratio of, for example, only 1: 2.
the arrangement of the ancillary units below the fleet level also ensures that the latter is only slightly lowered when the pump is switched on.
the device comprises an essentially cylindrical container 1, which is arranged horizontally with its longitudinal axis, in which at least one endless textile strand 2 rotates in a substantially vertical direction and, for example, liquor is applied to it.
each textile strand 2 is introduced as a piece of a certain length into the container 1 via a closable opening 3, whereupon the respective strand ends are connected to one another.
a lower dwell zone 4 which receives the textile strand 2 in loops and an upper acceleration zone 5 which sets the textile strand 2 in circulation.
the dwell zone 4 is formed by a channel 6 with a rectangular cross section, which delimits a gap 7 radially on the outside with the inside of the container 1.
the channel interior is directly connected to the gap 7 and also to the rest of the container interior via perforations 8 in the wall of the channel 6.
An inlet opening 9 and an outlet opening 10 of the channel 6 delimit the dwell zone 4 and point in the direction of the acceleration zone 5.
the acceleration zone 5 comprises - seen in the direction of rotation of the textile strand 2 - a guide ring 11 arranged parallel at a distance above the horizontal cross section of the outlet opening 10, the normally vertical central axis of which forms a tangent to the outer circumference of a freely rotatable deflection roller 12.
the textile strand 2 is fed via the deflecting roller 12 to the center of a ring nozzle 13 which can be subjected to air, as a result of which a driving force is exerted on the textile strand 2 in the circumferential direction, so that it is pulled out of the outlet opening 10 in the same way as it is Entry opening 9 is pressed.
the textile strand 2 passes through a guide tube 15 in the form of a flattened funnel which adjoins the outlet side of the ring nozzle 13 and can be pivoted about an axis 14 by a crank mechanism in the horizontal plane, the free cross section of which continuously increases in the conveying direction of the textile strand 2.
the end of the guide tube 15 facing the inlet opening 9, which protrudes into the channel 6, is opposite a wall surface of the channel 6 which is provided with perforations 16 and which is inclined so that the textile strand 2 impinging thereon is deflected downward.
the liquor jets emerging from the chamber 21 arranged underneath the strand course form a load-bearing radiation curtain, which helps to lay down the textile strand 2 emerging from the funnel-shaped guide tube 15 in ordered loops in the channel 6.
the liquor supply of the chambers 20, 21 takes place via lines 22 and 23, which are provided with control valves 24 and are connected to the pressure line 26 of a pump 27 with the interposition of a filter 25.
a suction line 28 of the pump 27 stands over a heat exchanger 29, through which the liquor is heated and up Temperature is maintained in communication with a container sink 30.
the filter 25, the pump 27 and the heat exchanger 29 are arranged below the liquor level marked with "a" in the container 1.
a radial fan 31 is installed in the zenith of the container 1, the impeller 32 of which rotates about a vertical axis and the housing 33, which is open on the ceiling, connects to a ceiling opening 34 in the jacket of the container 1.
the ceiling opening 34 is provided with a flange 35 screwed to the outside of the container 1 on its jacket. This surrounds a bush 36 through which a drive shaft 37 for the impeller 32 is passed in a pressure-tight manner.
the drive shaft 37 is part of a motor 38 mounted on the flange 35.
a suction opening 39 is provided in the bottom of the housing 33, through which the radial fan 31 is supplied with air from the interior of the container 1.
a blow-out opening 41 which is provided laterally tangentially on the housing 33, is connected to the ring nozzle 13 via a line piece 40 and acts upon the latter with the air flow conveyed by the radial fan 31 for driving the textile strand 2.
the devices described above can be arranged several times over its length, so that a total of a corresponding number of textile strands 2 can be treated independently of one another with the device at the same time.
