TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a vibration generating assembly used in ultrasonic dyeing, washing and sizing vessels that enable the cleaning of the desired material by shock waves hitting the surface of the automotive part, textile product, and similar material in the liquid at a great speed.

BACKGROUND

Today, various machines are used for washing. Technologies are used to prevent damage to the product, remove even the toughest dirt on the product, and operate at high precision. Ultrasonic washing vessels are machines designed to meet these criteria. In the process of cleaning the product in ultrasonic washing vessels, the said product is placed in a liquid and ultrasonic sound waves are sent to the container where the liquid is located, and the bubbles produced by the sound waves and the dirt on the product are cleaned.

A reliable, fast, and material-friendly cleaning is carried out with the temperature, frequency and sliding method to be selected in accordance with the operating conditions determined by ultrasonic washing vessels. For this, the nature of the dirt to be cleaned is not important. The impurities can be in the form of particles such as chips or dust or in the form of films such as chipping emulsion/oil residue, separating compounds, or fingerprint. Ultrasound shows its cleansing effect in a liquid bath, at the same time reducing the chemical need in general and shortening the cleaning processes noticeably. Therefore, ultrasonic cleaning is a preferred method in many areas such as cleaning textiles and textile products, automotive, machinery, optics, watch industry, electronics, microtechnology, and preventive care.

In the current art, vibration generating assemblies are used to help produce ultrasonic sound in ultrasonic washing vessels. The said vibration generators are connected to the tank of the washing vessel. The length of the vibration generators is a certain length and some machine washing chambers are located longer than the vibration generators. In these cases, multiple vibration generators must be positioned in the machine chamber. The positioning of more than one generator in the machine washing chamber is of great importance for the transfer of the ideal vibration to the system and it is observed that there are difficulties in the said positioning process.

In the current art, it is seen that at least two vibration generators are connected to the machine chamber when the machine washing machine chambers are longer than the vibration generators. The said way of the connection is such that one vibration generator is above the other. The minimum liquid level must be above the top vibration generator for the washing machine to operate. This causes more water, chemicals and the like to be taken into the washing machine chamber and increases the costs.

There is a document with CN103015116A application number in the state of the art. The ultrasonic washing machine is mentioned in the said invention. The aforementioned application aims at effective cleaning into a washing chamber with many ultrasonic transducers on it. In this embodiment, there is an embodiment comprising ultrasonic transducers in the form of small protrusions that are placed regularly in the flushing space.

There is a document with the application number 2009/00795 in the state of the art. The multi-purpose ultrasonic washing machine is described in the present invention. The invention is the ultrasonic washing machine that allows the cleaning of the products in a short time without wearing out, removing difficult-to-reach dirt easily and in a short time with the brushing effect of the air bubbles produced by ultrasonic sound waves in the cleaning process of lighting fixtures, ceiling cladding panels, blinds, ventilation culverts, and filters.

All the problems mentioned above have made it necessary to make an innovation in the relevant technical field as a result.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a vibration generating assembly in order to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and bring new advantages to the relevant technical field.

It is an object of the invention to provide a vibration generator that provides ease of use and high efficiency by adding at least two vibration generators in cases where the vibration generators used in ultrasonic washing/dyeing/sizing vessels are longer than the washing machine chambers. In order to achieve all the objectives that will emerge from the above-mentioned and the following detailed description, the present invention is a vibration generating assembly with at least one body in which a plurality of generators are positioned in the direction of at least one first row and the direction of at least one second row with a generator distance for use in the ultrasonic dyeing/ washing/sizing vessels. Accordingly, the body is provided in two parts and comprises the junction line defined in the portion where the said parts are joined, and the total junction distances between the generators provided on both sides of the said junction line and the junction line are equal to the generator distance. Thus, it is ensured that the two- piece body is connected end-to-end using the junction line and allows the extended vibration generating assembly to be used easily in cases where the length of the washing/dyeing/sizing vessels is longer than the vibration generating assembly.

A possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that at least one of the generators in the second row is positioned to correspond to the generator distance between the generators in the first row. Thus, it is to ensure that the vibration generating assembly operates at high efficiency and maximum performance.

Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that it comprises at least one first portion extending between the two generators in the first row and towards the second row to follow the junction line. Thus, it is to support the formation of the zigzag junction line and the connection between the two bodies in the most efficient way.

Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that it comprises at least one second portion extending between the two generators in the second row and towards the first row to follow the junction line. Thus, it is to support the formation of the zigzag junction line and the connection between the two bodies in the most efficient way.

Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that it comprises a third portion extending from the end point of the first portion to the end point of the second portion and along the extension direction of the vibration generating assembly. Thus, it is to ensure that the first portion and the second portion are joined in such a way that there is no leakage and that they are intact.

Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that it comprises connecting the third portion extending from the endpoint of the first portion to the end point of the second portion and along the extension direction of the vibration generating assembly so that the junction line of the third portion is in the zigzag form. Thus, it is to prevent the separation of the bodies connected and to ensure that the vibrations in the vibration generating assembly are taken in the most efficient way.

Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the vibration generating assembly can also be used in vessels where the sizing process is carried out, especially to give strength to the warp yarns. Thus, it is possible to diversify the processes in which the vibration generating assembly can be used.

Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the vibration generating assembly can also be used in dyeing vessels where the dye impregnation process is carried out in order to color the textile products. Thus, it is to provide a versatile use for the vibration generating assembly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed description, a vibration generating assembly of the invention is explained with examples that do not have any limiting effect only for a better understanding of the subject.

Figure 1 shows a vibration generating assembly used in ultrasonic washing/dyeing/sizing vessels for washing textile products and impregnating process liquid into textile products. An inventive vibration assembly in the most basic sense comprises a two-piece body (50) attached to end to end, a plurality of generators (40) in the direction of at least one first row (10) located on the said body (50) and in the direction of at least one second row (20), and a junction line (60) defined in the portion where the said two piecewise bodies (50) meet. The sum of the junction distances (70) between the generators (40) and the junction line (60), which are provided on both sides of the junction line (60) and which are in the structure of the vibration generating assembly, is equal to the generator distance (30) formed between the two generators (40). The generators (40) on the body (50) are arranged in the body (50) so that there is a generator distance (30) between them. The systems used for ultrasonic washing and impregnation of process liquid into textile products mainly consist of four main parts. These are ultrasonic converter, ultrasonic generator circuit, cleaning boiler, and cleaning solution. It consists mainly of an ultrasonic cleaning system, a metal tank of stainless steel, transducers glued to the bottom or side surface of this tank, an ultrasonic generator (signal generator), and a cleaning solution. The washing principle carried out in ultrasonic washing/dyeing/sizing vessels for washing textile products and impregnating process liquid into textile products is as follows:

Ultrasonic converters can change shape suddenly with the applied electrical signal. With this deformation, they produce a high-frequency mechanical sound signal of the applied electrical signal. Ultrasonic converters, which are bonded to the base of the boiler with a special adhesive with high sound transmittance, transmit high-frequency sound signals to the liquid in the tank. The liquid is compressed in the high-pressure phase and suddenly released in the low-pressure wave phase. While the pressure in the liquid decreases, the cavities expand and there are decompositions in the liquid. At the high pressure that will follow, these cavities narrow and the cavity continues to grow at the lower pressure. As the process continues in this way, the gap reaches a critical size and there is a very strong explosion during the increased phase. During this powerful explosion, a punctual but very high temperature effect and shock waves spreading in all directions occur.

With the effect of shock waves, the plasma at jet speed hits all objects in the liquid and removes all dirt such as dirt, rust, lime, oil, etc. from the washed object. In fact, the energy left by a single cavitation bubble is not very much, but millions of these bubbles occur in the tank every second, providing the energy necessary for ultrasonic washing. In this way, an ultrasonic cleaning process is carried out and it can be more effective for manual cleaning.

As can be understood from the above description, ultrasonic washing/dyeing/sizing vessels for washing textile products and impregnating process liquid into textile products have vibration generating assemblies positioned in the tank where the objects are washed. The vibration generating assembly of the invention has a body (50) consisting of two parts. The bodies (50) are end-to-end and connected by the junction line (60). There are multiple generators (40) that support the generation of vibration on the body (50). The generators (40) are arranged on the body (50) to form a first row (10) and a second row (20). During this sequence, the generators (40) must be arranged in a way that there is a generator distance (30) between them. By arranging the generators (40) so that there is a generator distance (30) between them, much more efficient and high frequency vibrations are obtained. The junction line (60) is used to connect the two bodies (50) in the vibration generating assembly. The junction line comprises elements of the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion. The first portion (61 ) extends between the two generators (40) in the first row (10) and towards the second row (20) to follow the junction line (60). The second portion (62) is the element extending between the two generators (40) in the second row (20) and towards the first row (10) to follow the junction line (60).

The third portion (63) connects the ends of the first portion (61 ) and the second portion (62) extending from the end point of the first portion (61 ) to the end point of the second portion (62) and along the direction of extension of the vibration generating assembly. Thus, the first portion (61), the second portion (62), and the third portion (63) are connected to form the zigzag form (80) and form the junction line (60).

With the junction line (60) to which the bodies (50) are connected being in the zigzag form (80), a high strength joint is obtained. Thus, the separation of the two bodies (50) from each other is prevented during the process of washing the textile products by the combination in the zigzag form (80) and impregnating the process liquid into the textile products. In addition, in order to ensure the best vibration quality, the sum of the junction distances (70) between the generators (40) on both sides of the junction line (60) and the junction line (60) is equal to the generator distance (30) formed between the two generators (40). Thus, it is aimed to obtain the maximum efficiency from the vibration assembly with the distances set on the body (50).

In our invention, as a result of joining the two bodies (50) in the vibration generating assembly with the help of the junction line (60), a longer body (50) is obtained compared to the single body (50). In this way, it is ensured that the vibration generating assembly of the invention is also used in long tanks in size. In addition, it is observed that the vibration losses in the vibration generating assembly decrease, and the efficiency increases with the fact that the bodies used by placing them on top of each other in the long tanks in the current art become a longer monolithic body (50) by combining them in our invention.

In addition, there is a sizing process in the current art. Sizing is the process applied to give strength to the warp yarns that are dyed and then washed and purified, and to increase efficiency and quality by reducing the breaks that may occur in the yarn during weaving. For sizing, the textile product is immersed in vessels containing sizing material. Here, the friction coefficient is reduced by covering the warp yarns with the film layer, and the problems of breakage and cottonization are prevented during the weaving process.

There is also a dyeing technique in the textile industry. Dyeing is the process of impregnating textile products with dye to color textile products. Substances used in the coloration of textile material and bonded by chemical bonds are called colorants. The dyestuff is combined with the textile material continuously and durably. However, it can be removed from the textile material by a chemical process. Textile products can be impregnated with dyestuffs in manual or automatic vessels.

A vibration generating assembly of the invention can be used in ultrasonic washing/dyeing vessels as well as in vessels used in the processes of sizing and dyeing into textile products in the present art. Thus, a multifaceted use is provided.

The vibration generating assemblies of the invention are manufactured in a length of around 1800 mm used in the present art. The biggest reason why it is manufactured in the said length is that the best vibrations are captured at this length. In addition, if it is longer or shorter than the said length, it is seen that the junction line (60) and the end-to-end joined bodies (50) are poured from the combination of the said junction line (60). In addition, the thickness of the vibration generating assemblies is also important. It is observed that the thickness affects the decrease, increase, and vibration quality of the vibration level.

The scope of protection of the invention is specified in the attached claims and cannot be limited to those explained for sampling purposes in this detailed description. It is evident that a person skilled in the art may exhibit similar embodiments in light of the above-mentioned facts without drifting apart from the main theme of the invention.
