Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for feeding laundry items in particular a treatment device according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore The invention relates to a device for feeding items of laundry in particular to a treatment device according to the preamble of claim 7.
  • the supply of laundry items to a treatment facility is usually done by manually hanging preferably neighboring ones Corners of a respective item of laundry in loading clips of, for example, one Feed conveyor.
  • the item of laundry is then from the loading clamps to the treatment facility or input device transported.
  • the Items of laundry on, for example, clips, in particular spreading clips, of the input device or treatment facility.
  • a method for solving this problem has the measures of claim 1.
  • the or any other The loading clamp of the respective group is then in one of the loading stations away-facing position, in the vicinity of the transfer area. Empty Loading clamps are created by the joint movement of all loading clamps inevitably moved back to the loading station when each one item of laundry holding loading clamps are moved to the transfer area.
  • the empty parentheses need only cover a relatively short distance to the loading station, so that in the loading station free loading clamps very quickly To be available.
  • the brackets of each group are arranged so that when a part the loading clip is in the loading position, other loading clips in the Transfer area are arranged. It is therefore possible to do this in the shortest possible way Transporting items of laundry from the loading clips to the transfer area, while moving the loading clamps of each group together at the same time empty loading clips are again made available to the loading station.
  • the clamps are provided to drive each group all around. This makes it a common one (Only) drive for all clamps in each group or possibly all Multiple groups can be bracketed. Due to the common drive one Synchronization takes place at least the brackets of the respective group, whereby without great mechanical effort is reliably guaranteed that a transfer of the respective items of laundry from the loading clips to the following clips (Spreading clamps) and at the same time empty loading clamps Loading station.
  • brackets in particular loading brackets, of each group are provided discontinuously, preferably cyclically. Both downtimes the loading clamps as well as movement phases of the same become. When the loading clamps are at a standstill, they can be loaded in the loading station Corners or corner areas of a new item of laundry can be hooked in manually. While the loading clamps are moving, they move to the following ones Clamps over to the delivery of the respective item of laundry from the loading clips to the following brackets. The different clock phases can thus be used, to either add empty items to laundry clips or the Hand over items of laundry from the loading clips to other clips.
  • the clamps are put together according to a preferred method, in particular moved simultaneously or synchronously, on a circular orbit. That kind of movement the loading clip is the easiest and most reliable device-wise realize.
  • the clamps especially loading clamps, reoriented during their movement, in particular be pivoted.
  • This makes it possible to use the clamps Transfer to the brackets of the input device or the like in another, namely to bring transferable position, while the brackets when moving back to the loading station in a (different) position in which they are in Ergonomically inexpensive way to manually load items of laundry.
  • each group is of at least two brackets, in particular Loading clamps, a jointly driven conveyor element of the Feed conveyor assigned.
  • Such a group of at least two loading clips serves to hold a corner or a corner area of a preferably upper one Cross edge of the respective item of laundry.
  • the laundry items are on two opposite corner areas are held when the treatment facility or the like.
  • two groups are preferred two loading clips are provided.
  • a conveyor is then available for loading clips.
  • These funding bodies will expediently also driven in the same direction. It will not only be loading brackets each group driven together; rather all loading brackets one Station for feeding laundry to the treatment facility or the like, especially a feed conveyor.
  • the respective funding body ensures that the clamps, in particular loading clamps, each group are always moved at the same time. It also reduces the Allocation of all loading clips of the respective group to a funding body Number of funding bodies required.
  • the loading brackets of each group are, according to a preferred embodiment of the Invention moved by the conveyor on a circular path.
  • group with two loading clamps these are arranged at opposite ends of the conveyor element.
  • the conveying member can run around a central axis of rotation be driven drivable arm.
  • a clip, in particular loading clip is on each of the opposite free ends of the rotary arm a clip, in particular loading clip.
  • the respective rotary arm is of such a type assigned to the clamps of an input device or treatment device that the loading clamps moved by the rotating arm on the circular path in the transfer area the clamps of the treatment device or input device are moved past be, the transfer of the laundry, in particular a corner or of a corner area of the same, from the loading clip moved on the circular path the other bracket, which is preferably stationary during this transfer.
  • the respective loading clamps then move past the other clamp Mechanically insert the corner area of the item of laundry into the clip mouth of the clip and then the relevant corner area of the item of laundry from the loading clip solved.
  • the device according to the invention which is also can act an independent solution to the task mentioned at the outset Clamps, in particular loading clamps, can be pivoted to the Eden of the respective Swivel arm arranged.
  • the loading clips are preferably at the ends of the respective pivot arm about pivot axes running parallel to the central axis of rotation pivotable. This allows the insertion direction of a corner area of the Change items of laundry into the clamp jaws of the respective loading clamp so that the corner area of the item of laundry should always be pushed into the clamp mouth can, as is easiest or easiest for operators.
  • the device shown in the figures is used to feed items of laundry 10, such as for example tablecloths, sheets or the like, to a defect not shown or another treatment device for the laundry 10.

  • the expansion clips 19 and 20 are then move transversely in front of the input device 15, in particular moved apart, stretching the laundry, in particular the front edge of the same between those in the expansion brackets 19 and 20 held corner areas of the laundry 10 takes place. From the spreading clamps 19 or 20 the spread laundry item 10 is then sent to a conveyor of the input device 15 handed over to the laundry 10 in the treatment facility, especially a defect or the like.
  • the device shown here is provided with two loading stations 11 and 12, the opposite sides are assigned to the input device 15. Accordingly two feed conveyors 13 and 14 are assigned to the input device 15, which are each arranged in the area of a loading station 11 and 12.
  • the input device 15 has two separate pairs of spreading clamps 19 and 20, whereby a pair of expansion clamps 19 and 20 assigned to a feed conveyor 13 and 14, respectively is. Accordingly, two operators 16 can operate independently of one another at each loading station 11 and 12 the corresponding feed conveyor 13 and 14 load each with a piece of laundry 10.
  • each pair of spreading clamps 19 or 20 works Input device 15 independently of one another.
