Description

TECHNICAL FIELD



[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of fabric dyeing equipment, and in particular, to a digital inkjet dyeing machine for pure color dyeing of fabrics.

BACKGROUND



[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's quality of life and the continuous promotion of modern technology, people have an increasingly high pursuit to the color of fabrics. For pure color dyeing of different types of fabrics, a traditional dyeing process can be used to dye, and a digital printer can be used to print individual colors.

[0003] The traditional dyeing process of fabrics can be classified into dip dyeing and pad dyeing according to different contact modes between dye and fabric. The dip dyeing is a dyeing method in which a to-be-dyed fabric is immersed in dye liquor, and the dye is evenly applied to the textile by circulating the dye liquor and relatively moving the to-be-dyed fabric, wherein when the dip dyeing is performed, the dye and the fabric can be circulated simultaneously or individually. The pad dyeing is to immerse an open-width fabric in a dye liquor for a short time, then squeeze the dye liquor into the interior of the fiber and the gaps of the fabric tissue through the pressure roller, and remove the redundant dye liquor, so as to distribute the dye evenly on the fabric, wherein the fabric, after being immersed and padded with the dye, is steamed or baked to complete the diffusion and fixation of the dye on the fiber. However, the traditional dyeing process has disadvantages as follows: large minimum order quantity, large color matching differences, large water consumption, large usage amount of steam, large differences between color matching and dyeing matching, and more reliance on the skill of the dyeing personnel; consequently, the traditional dyeing process is not environmentally friendly, high in cost, and low in efficiency. The traditional dyeing process has advantages as follows: wide color gamut, good dyeing uniformity, and high level of depth and hue.

[0004] However, all the pure color printing achieved by digital printing in the current market is based on a printing mode of a digital printing machine, wherein various colors are dotted by a positioning dotting mode to achieve the pure color under the visual effect. This printing method has problems that the printed pure color fabric is visually a dot-like grainy, resulting in rough dots, insufficient hue and saturation of color, insufficient depth and ink volume, and unsatisfactory color consistency. Consequently, the digital printing machine has the disadvantage that industrialization, large-block-surface, high-speed, and long-time pure color block printing cannot be achieved. In addition, the digital printing machine has high requirements for color management when printing, however, the degree of color restoration cannot meet the requirements of pure color printing, and the color gamut that can be printed is limited.

[0005] In view of this, how to overcome the disadvantages that the traditional dyeing process is not environment-friendly, has high cost and low efficiency, and the digital pure color printing is dot-like grainy and has a low color precision, when pure color dyeing is performed, becomes an subject to be researched and solved by the present disclosure.
