Description

[Technical Field]

The present invention relates to flat-plate textile printing mainly used in a fabric dyeing process, and more particularly, to a drying and steaming device and a textile printing system using the same that are capable of continuously supplying heat needed for a drying process and steam and combustion heat needed for a steaming process through a mat-shaped low temperature combustion catalyst capable of adjusting the load of the device, thereby improving the efficiency of the whole process.

[Background Art]

Flat-plate printing, which is widely used for the dyeing process of fabric, generally includes a process in which the fabric is prepared and pre-treated, a printing process in which dyes are printed on the fabric by means of a printer, a drying process in which the dyes are dried, a steaming process in which steam is supplied to the fabric and the temperature of the fabric is thus raised to allow the dyes to be absorbed to the fabric, a washing process in which various additive agents and the dyes not absorbed to the fabric are washed, and a tentering process in which the wrinkles on the fabric are removed and the shape of the fabric is fixedly held.
Unlike dip printing in which fabric is dyed entirely to a single color, textile printing can dye the fabric to a variety of colors. In more detail, the textile printing performs localized dying on fabric such as woven fabric, knitted fabric, carpet, thread and the like so as to make designs or patterns on the fabric. First, textile printing glue is made by mixing colorant such as dyes, pigments and the like, a discharge printing agent, and a resisting agent by means of a thickening agent, and the printing is then performed, such that fabric is partially colored and discolored with patterns, thereby completing the dyeing on the fabric.
If the printing is finished on the fabric by means of the textile printing glue in which the dyes are contained through a textile printing system, the fabric is first dried and it stays in a state of saturated steam or superheated steam for a given period of time so as to allow the dyes to be permeated and diffused into the fabric, thereby achieving the absorption of the dyes to the fabric. At this time, a steaming process is performed for maintaining the temperature of the fabric in a steam state, which selectively makes use of saturated steam and superheated steam in accordance with the states of the fabric.
The steaming process using the saturated steam is conducted in a state of maintaining an internal temperature at a range between 100°C and 110°C, and the steaming process using the superheated steam is conducted by making high temperature steam at a range between 160°C and 200°C through a super-heater. The steaming process using the superheated steam has some advantages in that the absorption time of the dyes to the fabric is relatively short, even the fabric having a large width is treated without any troubles, and the fabric is rapidly heated through the superheated steam and is thus swelled with the steam, thereby allowing the dyes to be easily absorbed to the fabric.
As shown in FIG.1, existing fabric dyeing or printing using the above-mentioned steaming process generally includes preparation, pre-treatment, textile printing, drying, steaming, washing, and tentering. That is, if the fabric for which the preparation and the pre-treatment are conducted is printed with dyes, the drying and cooling for the fabric are conducted. Next, the fabric is moved to the steaming process through which the absorption of the dyes is performed in an atmosphere of the temperature and steam adequate to the characteristics of the fabric. After that, the washing process is performed to remove the glue as a dye-absorption medium, and then, the tentering process is performed to hold the shape of the fabric.
In the above-mentioned existing process, however, during the drying process the fabric is dried by means of convection occurring through hot wind, as shown in FIG.4, and the dried fabric is introduced to a steamer wherein the dyes of the fabric are absorbed in a steam atmosphere, thereby needing the two processes. The heating and cooling are required between the two processes, which consumes lots of energies and time and needs workers for moving from one process to the other process.
Further, the movement of the fabric to the printing, drying and steaming processes causes the temperature deviation of the fabric to become seriously happened, and the speeds between the respective processes are different to each other, thereby making it hard to achieve efficient connection between the processes.
On the other hand, low temperature catalytic combustion is conducted by oxidizing/heating relatively low temperature or low concentration fuel in an active solid catalyst layer in a non-flame state. During the combustion process, the emission of nitrogen oxides is low and the combustion efficiency is high. The catalytic material is impregnated into a ceramic material having high radiometry to obtain high heat absorption through far infrared emission. So, the low temperature catalytic combustion is used in various manners.
The invention adopts such low temperature catalytic combustion to general textile printing process, such that the heat needed for the drying process and the steam and combustion heat needed for the steaming process are continuously supplied in a single device and through a single process, thereby enhancing the efficiencies of the whole process and the energy consumption and achieving the adjustment of the load of the device.

Hereinafter, an explanation on a drying and steaming device and a textile printing system using a mat catalytic burner and a drying and steaming method and a textile printing method using the drying and steaming device and the textile printing system according to the present invention will be in detail given with reference to the attached drawing.
According to the present invention, as shown in FIG.3, there is provided a drying and steaming device through which drying and steaming are continuously performed for fabric on which dyes are printed, the device including: a burner body having an internal space formed therein; a gas supply pipe adapted to supply gas to the interior of the burner body; a plurality of injection nozzles adapted to inject the gas supplied from the gas supply pipe into the interior of the burner body; a catalyst layer spaced apart from the fabric by a predetermined distance so as to perform the drying and steaming of the fabric on which the dyes are printed, the catalyst layer having a low temperature combustion catalyst serving to burn the gas injected through the injection nozzles in a non-flame state and a support serving to support the low temperature combustion catalyst; an electrical heater adapted to heat the catalyst layer; and a thermocouple adapted to measure the temperature of the catalyst layer.
According to the present invention, further, there is provided a drying and steaming method using the drying and steaming device, the method including the steps of: drying the fabric on which the dyes are printed by means of radiation heat occurring through far infrared rays emitted from the catalyst layer so as to prevent the dyes printed on the fabric from being diffused before they are absorbed thereto; and steaming the fabric on which the dyes are printed by means of high temperature steam occurring through the combustion reaction of the gas supplied to the interior of the burner body to the low temperature combustion catalyst.
According to the present invention, further, there is provided a textile printing system using the drying and steaming device, the system including: a printing part adapted to print dyes on fabric; a drying and steaming part disposed spaced apart from the fabric by a predetermined distance so as to continuously perform drying and steaming for the dyes printed on the fabric through the printing part and having the catalyst layer in such a manner as to supply heat and steam to the fabric through the combustion of fuel gas therein, the catalyst layer having the low temperature combustion catalyst and the support; a washing part adapted to wash the dyes not absorbed through the drying and steaming part; and a tentering part adapted to hold the shape of the fabric.
According to the present invention, moreover, there is provided a textile printing method using the textile printing system, the method including the steps of: printing dyes on fabric through the printing part; continuously performing drying and steaming for the fabric on which the dyes are printed through the drying and steaming part; washing the dried and steamed fabric; and holding the shape of the washed fabric, wherein the drying and steaming step includes the steps of: drying the fabric on which the dyes are printed by means of radiation heat occurring through far infrared rays emitted from the catalyst layer so as to prevent the dyes printed on the fabric from being diffused before they are absorbed thereto; and steaming the fabric on which the dyes are printed by means of high temperature steam occurring through the combustion reaction of the gas supplied to the interior of the burner body to the low temperature combustion catalyst of the catalyst layer.
As appreciated from the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, after the printing of the dyes on the fabric is finished through the printing part, catalytic combustion technology is adopted so as to continuously perform the drying and steaming of the fabric in a single process, which enables the textile printing system (as shown in FIG.2) of the present invention to be configured in a more simple manner than the existing textile printing system (as shown in FIG.1).
According to the present invention, that is, in the drying process the fabric is rapidly dried by means of radiation heat occurring through far infrared rays emitted from the catalyst layer, and in the steaming process the steam and the heat of reaction occurring through the combustion of hydrocarbon fuel like city gas or household LP gas on the surface of the catalyst layer are utilized.
Also, the catalytic combustion can be performed at a low temperature as well as in a non-flame state, thereby achieving high heat efficiencies. Further, since the catalytic combustion has a substantially large flammable range, it can be freely applied in accordance with gas reacted. Moreover, the catalytic combustion is stably conducted up to 800°C, thereby minimizing the generation of nitrogen oxide gas.
FIGS.4 and 5 are conceptual views showing the drying process of the fabric through convection and radiation. Upon the existing drying using hot wind convection, heat is transmitted only to the surface of a coated material, and contrarily, upon the drying according to the present invention, the fabric is dried by means of the radiation heat occurring through far infrared rays emitted from the catalyst layer, such that the heat is transmitted to the interior of the heated material at a relatively low temperature and the fabric is thus dried rapidly and efficiently. As appreciated from the graph of FIG.6, when the catalytic combustion is adopted, the absorption rate of the far infrared rays is highest even at a relatively low temperature.
At this time, the catalyst layer is mat-shaped, which is most desirable in the drying and steaming of the fabric, and the gas supplied from the gas supply pipe is obtained by mixing fuel gas and air or by mixing fuel gas and oxygen. Further, desirably, the injection nozzles are equally spaced apart from each other in the interior of the burner body so as to regularly inject the gas into the catalyst layer.
Also, the electrical heater is used to preheat the combustion catalyst up to a catalyst reaction start temperature, and the temperature of the electrical heater is adjustable through the temperature measurement of the thermocouple.
The drying and steaming device having the above-mentioned configuration can continuously perform the drying and steaming for the fabric, without any movement of place, thereby minimizing the consumption of the space and workers. Especially, if digital printing is performed on the fabric, the moving speed of the fabric is slow, such that the volume of the drying and steaming device becomes decreased, thereby enhancing the utilization degree of the device.
On the other hand, the adjustment of the drying speed should be needed to prevent the dyes printed on the fabric from being diffused before absorbed, and if the low temperature combustion catalyst is applied, the load of the device can be easily adjusted through the change of the amount of the gas supplied to the mat catalytic burner, thereby allowing the drying speed to be easily adjusted. Also, the space between the fabric and the combustion catalyst is adjusted to control the drying speed of the fabric together with the control of the load of the device.
Further, the temperature of the fabric should be raised in a steam atmosphere so as to absorb the dyes on the dried fabric to the fabric, and the catalytic combustion is performed in a flameless state and contains the steam in the flue gas generated by the burning of hydrocarbon gas, thereby easily achieving the absorption of the dyes to the fabric.
At this time, the concentration of the steam existing in the flue gas can be adjusted in accordance with the kinds of fuel (city gas and LPG) and air-fuel ratios, and in the case where the gas made by mixing hydrocarbon gas and air is applied, if oxygen is mixed instead of the air, the content of the steam can be raised up to 66%.
On the other hand, the drying and steaming device can be combined with a digital printer, thereby continuously performing the dye-printing, drying and steaming of the fabric. According to the present invention, that is, there is provided an integrated textile printing system including: a printer adapted to print dyes on the fabric in a digital manner; and a drying and steaming device adapted to continuously perform drying and steaming for the fabric passed through the printing part.
The drying and steaming device used in the integrated textile printing system is the same as in the above and is combined with the digital printer, such that the drying and steaming speeds are adjusted in correspondence with the speed of the fabric passed through the printer to constantly maintain the conveying speed of the fabric and further, through the continuous process, the temperature deviation caused by the conveying of the fabric is reduced to allow the space and time consumption to be drastically decreased.
As described above, according to the present invention, the drying and steaming device, the textile printing system, and the drying and steaming method and the textile printing system using the same are provided with the low temperature combustion catalyst, such that the heat needed for the drying process and the steam and combustion heat needed for the steaming process are continuously supplied in a single device and through a single process, thereby enhancing the efficiencies of the whole process and the energy consumption, and the drying and steaming device is combined with the digital printer, thereby optimizing the whole efficiency of the textile printing processes.
While the present invention has been described with reference to the particular illustrative embodiments, it is not to be restricted by the embodiments but only by the appended claims. It is to be appreciated that those skilled in the art can change or modify the embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
