Description:
ADJUSTING THE GAS CONCENTRATION IN THE WASHING MACHINE BY USING TRANSMITTER OR PRESSURE SENSOR WITH AUTOMATIC

PLC SOFTWARE

Technical Field:

This invention relates to the adjustment of the gas concentration in the washing machine by using the automatic PLC software, which is used to detect and control the air and gas density in the industrial washing machine, in particular, and a transmitter or pressure sensor.

State of the Art:

Today, gases are used in the washing machine in the removal of the colors of textile, fiber, fabric, and apparel products and in the technical and decorative bleaching processes. Based on this usage, different devices and different process steps can be followed.

Due to the odor and oxidizing properties of the gas, its use becomes limited and harmful due to its harmful effects on both the employees and the environment. The methods used in existing systems aim to eliminate the harmful effects of gas on employees and the environment. However, no progress has been made in this regard.

In existing systems, gas is injected into the washing machine under pressure from a tank located outside the washing machine. Thus, more than one machine is processed. This situation prolongs the duration of the process to be performed, increases the cost and labor force since more than one machine is also processed. Therefore, existing systems are progressing stage or gradually. The biggest problem in these systems is that the pressure created by the gas inside cannot be kept under control. Due to this situation, excessive pressure in the washing drum of the washing machine causes the locks on the washing machine door to open. This situation shortens the life of the locks by deforming the locks due to the forcing of the locks, and causes the water and gas in the washing drum to escape. The escaping of the gas causes serious injury and poisoning to the workers.

“Fabric bleaching and disinfection machine” is described in the utility model application numbered TR200500819. The presented invention relates to a machine used for bleaching textile, fiber, fabric, and garment products, as well as denim fabrics, which are defined as denim fabric.

“Tunnel washing device and control method for wastewater treatment by ozone sterilization and gas explosion method” is described in the patent application numbered CN105155199 A. The invention includes a drying chamber, a washing chamber, three cleaning chambers, a humidifying chamber, a prewash chamber, a subframe, inner rollers and water quality sensors.

“Ozone washing system and method of use of tunnel washing devices with continuous stacking “is described in the patent application with publication number WO2010144744 A2. In this application, the ozone laundry washing system and the method of using it with continuous batch or tunnel washers are explained.

In the patent applications mentioned above, the excess pressure in the washing drum of the washing machine deforms the locks on the door of the washing machine, shortening the life of the locks and causing the water and gas in the washing drum to escape. The escaping of the gas causes serious injury and poisoning to the workers. The presence of gas leakage in the mentioned systems causes the costs to increase.

"Adjusting the Gas Concentration in the Washing Machine" is explained in the utility model application numbered TR202022615 of the applicant. Again, in the utility model application numbered TR202022758 of the applicant, “Setting the gas concentration in the washing machine by using a transmitter or pressure sensor with an automatic PLC software” is explained. The applicant has foreseen that both of his applications need a development that will ensure that the pressure in the washing machine remains open until the required value is reached, instead of keeping the actuator stainless valve open for the set time, especially for adjusting the pressure in the washing machine.

As a result, there is a need for new technology that can overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages, is low in cost, does not take time to manufacture, and allows the gas in the washing drum in the washing machine to be controlled.

Description of the Invention:

This invention is the adjustment of the gas concentration in the washing machine using transmitter or pressure sensor with automatic PLC software that can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above, its feature is; the cost is low, the production does not take time and it is a new technology that allows the gas contained in the washing drum in the washing machine to be controlled.

The invention includes a transmitter and PLC software that will allow the pressure inside the washing machine to remain open until the required value is reached. The transmitter measures the required pressure value inside and transfers it to the PLC software. The adjustable pressure valve in the PLC software and the adjustable pressure valve keep the actuator stainless valve open until the pressure in the washing machine is expected to decrease to the required value. In the product subject of the invention, the pressure created by the gas taken from the gas generator and transferred to the washing machine is adjusted in the washing drum. The invention adjusts the air and gas density in the washing drum. The gas here can be nitrogen or ozone or oxygen. Adjusting the concentration of the gas enabled the production speed to increase and the cost factors to be eliminated. The invention provides the use of all these features with the manually adjusted pressure valve. It is easy to install thanks to the easy fixing of the parts that make up the invention, and the costs are low due to the short assembly time. Moreover, the invention has a solid construction.

Description of The Invention:

The invention consists of the transmitter (11) that adjusts the open time of the actuated stainless valve (4) so that the pressure in the washing machine (1) reaches the required value, and the PLC software (10) that transmits the value measured by the transmitter (H).

The invention has an actuated stainless valve (4) which is opened and closed via adjustable pressure valve (3) by processing the information received by PLC software (10) from the transmitter (11).

Detailed Description of The Invention:

The parts constituting the invention basically consist of ten parts. These parts are washing machine (1), manometer (2), adjustable pressure valve (3), actuated stainless valve (4), Teflon hose (5), valve connecting pipe (6), gas generator (7), connection hose (8), position indicator (9), PLC software (10) and transmitter (11).

The invention includes a transmitter (11) and PLC software (10) that will allow the pressure in the washing machine (1) to remain open until the required value is reached. The transmitter (11) measures the required pressure value in the washing machine (1) and transfers it to the PLC software (10). The PLC software (10) give commands to the adjustable pressure valve (3). The adjustable pressure valve (3), on the other hand, keeps the actuated stainless valve (4) open until the pressure drops to the required value. In the alternative configuration of the invention, a pressure sensor (12) with a digital display can be used instead of a transmitter (11). The PLC software (10) processes the information it receives from the pressure sensor (12) and transfers it to the actuated stainless valve (4), which it opens and closes via the adjustable pressure valve (3). The transmitter (11) and the pressure sensor (12) can optionally be positioned to be in different parts of the washing machine (1). The adjustable pressure valve (3) ensures that the gas pressure does not exceed the maximum pressure for a certain number of seconds. One of the most important features is that it ensures that the density of any gas pressed into the washing machine (1) is kept at the desired concentration at the desired level.

Actuated stainless valve (4); A actuated stainless valve stainless valve (4) is attached to any part of the washing machine (1). The amount of pressure inside the washing machine (1) is controlled by the actuated stainless valve (4). Gas density is adjusted. When the actuated stainless valve (4) is in the open position, it is connected to the gas splitting (gas Disposal) unit. Extra gas is ensured to enter the gas cracking unit.
