Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention is a pre-processing machine that shapes clothing such as yukata and gowns and sends them to the next process. This relates to the transfer mechanism.

(Prior Art) A device called a roll ironer is used to wash and iron clothing such as yukatas, but the clothing placed into the device must be shaped into a predetermined shape beforehand. Must be.
However, in the past, everything except ironing and folding was not mechanized.

(Technical Issues) Therefore, conventionally, up to the stage of putting clothes into the processing equipment as mentioned above, the process has been completely manual, requiring a large number of workers, and due to differences in skill, There was a problem that made the difference between success and failure.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, the inventor of the present invention developed a pre-processing machine that can attach clothes with the simple task of hanging them on a hanger, automatically shape them, and send them to the next process. I have already applied.

The present invention is used in such a clothing pre-processing machine, and its purpose is to transfer clothing from hangers to a transport mechanism for shaping. To provide a transfer mechanism for clothes in a clothes pre-processing machine which can arrange clothes without disturbing them and transfer them to a conveying surface.

(Technical Means) The above purpose is to provide a loading frame with a hanger that opens to hang clothes and closes during transfer, and suction ducts located on both sides of the hanger that suction and hold both sleeves of the hung clothes with airflow. In a clothes pre-processing machine, the loading frame is attached to the machine body so as to be tilted from a state standing in front of the machine body to the conveyance surface of a mechanism for conveying clothes, and the clothes are transferred when the machine is tilted,
This is achieved by a configuration in which the duct is rotatably supported on a loading frame so as to be pulled out from the sleeve when transferring clothes, and a roller that squeezes the sleeve between it and the conveyance surface is rotatably provided near the suction port. .

(Function) Clothes are hung on a hanger and suctioned and held by a suction duct before being transferred to the transport mechanism. Since it has rollers that squeeze the sleeves between them and the conveyance surface, the clothes are transferred while the sleeves are pressed against the conveyance surface by the rollers.
As a result, the clothing lands on the conveyance surface as if the sleeves were pushed apart by hand. Furthermore, since the clothes do not shift when being transferred to the conveyance surface, uneven finishing is also prevented.

(Example) To explain with reference to the drawings, the transfer mechanism is provided in the clothing attachment part of the pre-processing machine.

In the figure, 1 is the body of the pre-processing machine, 2 is a conveyance mechanism consisting of a large number of belts 3 that expose a conveyance surface 4 inclined from the front downward direction to the rear upward direction on the upper part of the machine body 1, and 5
is a gate-shaped loading frame installed at the front of the machine body, which is pivoted on the machine body 1 by a support shaft 6, and can be raised and lowered between a substantially upright position at the hanging position of the clothing A and a state where it is loaded onto the transfer surface 4. be. Reference numeral 7 denotes a hanger mechanism, which will be described later, which is installed in the center of the input frame 5, and includes two hanger members 8, which are approximately L-shaped so that they are aligned in a straight line in the belt movement direction from the hanger-like open state shown in the figure. 8
, with symmetrical sleeve suction and holding devices 1 on both sides.
0 is placed.

As shown in detail in FIG. , with a longitudinal axis 12 at its outer end
A suction duct 15 rotatably supported by a shaft 14 parallel to the duct, a drive cylinder 18 of a telescoping rod 17 supported near a flat suction port 16 at the tip of the duct 15, and the other end of the link 13. Short rod 19 installed in
and a spring 20 that communicates with the input frame 5 side and biases the link 13 clockwise in FIG. 3, and a wrinkle removing roll 22 that contacts the boundary plate 21 of the suction port 16.

The roller 23 that squeezes the sleeve between the sleeve and the conveyance surface 4 is rotatably supported on the back side of the suction port 16, that is, on the conveyance surface side, along the longitudinal direction of the suction port 16, and the suction duct 15 is moved from the sleeve to the suction port. When moving outward to pull out the roller 23, the roller 23 moves linearly to the left and right outer sides of the body 1 (FIG. 3).

The suction duct 15 is connected to the blower 26 through a flexible tube 25 connected to the lower part of the air dam 24 for stabilizing airflow, and sucks air from the suction port 16. A notch 28 is formed by cutting out the front side, leaving the receiving plate part 27, and is provided with the boundary plate 21 that divides the flat suction port 16 into two into a front side and a back side so as to further flatten the suction port 16. It is preferable that the boundary plate 21 is inclined so that the back side flow path 29 is narrower than being substantially parallel to the flow direction of the airflow, and a difference in flow velocity is likely to occur between the boundary plate 21 and the front side flow path 30. A disturbance piece 31 is provided at the inner end of the boundary plate 21 to slightly disturb the flow and promote vibration generation.
Note that the wrinkle removing roll 22 is attached to an arm 32 that is pivotally supported in front of the duct.

The hanger mechanism 7 includes a base 33 suspended from the loading frame 5, a pair of hanger members 8, 8, which are symmetrically supported in the arcuate guide groove 34, and a telescopic rod attached to each hanger member 8, 8. 35 are connected to each other, and each cylinder 36 is pivotally supported on the input frame 5 side.

Reference numeral 40 indicates a collar correction mechanism, which rotates at a higher speed than the moving speed of the conveyor belt in order to correct the "bulge" or "sag" of the collar of the garment A transferred to the conveyance mechanism 3. It has a belt 41 provided near the center of the top of the conveyance mechanism 3. Reference numeral 42 indicates a delivery portion of the transport mechanism 3, 43 indicates an inclined support arm that changes the inclination angle thereof, 44 indicates a wrinkle removing brush, and 45 indicates a foot suit.

Clothes A suspended from the hanger members 8, 8
A hem shaping device 50 is arranged at the bottom of the hem.
The device 50 has a lower end pivotally supported on a base 51, and a pair of left and right hem alignment arms 52, 52 whose upper parts are attached to open and close to the left and right, respectively, and actuators 53, 53 for opening and closing the arms. Consists of.
Each hem alignment arm 52 has a side 54 bent outward in a substantially dogleg shape, and has a plurality of recesses 56 in the longitudinal direction for changing the connection position of the actuator movable part 55 on the inside, and the pair is symmetrical. will be placed in
Each recess 56 is used to adjust the opening/closing angle and speed of each arm in order to change the distance from the actuator axis. Each actuator 53 is pivotally supported on the left and right upper end portions of a support member 57 erected on the base 1 between the left and right arms 52 . Further, the pair of hem alignment arms 52, 52 can be structured so that they can be tilted toward the front, as shown in FIG. When clothing A is hung on a hanger and the sleeve part is placed on the suction holding device 10, the clothing is attached by tilting forward with the hem alignment arm 52 closed, covering the hem, returning to the upright position, and then opening and closing. becomes easier. Reference numeral 58 indicates a photoelectric switch for confirming attachment of clothing installed between the arms.

Each of the above parts is controlled by a computer (not shown) to correspond to all predicted operations.

(Operation) When the pretreatment machine is in the operating state shown in FIG.
The worker passes the collar of clothing A through the sleeves and hangs it there, and deposits both sleeves S into the sleeve suction and holding devices 10, 10.
Further, the hem is set by turning it around the hem alignment arms 52, 52 from behind. This completes the setting of clothing A (Figure 4a). At that time, both left and right sleeves S,
Since S is sucked into the suction ports 16 of the suction ducts 15, 15 while vibrating, even if the clothes are not completely dry after washing, even if they are twisted or wrinkled, they will be shaped into a state close to their original shape. Also, at the hem, the hem alignment arms 52, 52 open and close left and right to align the disordered hem and adjust the outer shape of the garment. Thereafter, the garment A is tilted toward the conveying surface 4 of the conveying mechanism 3 with the sleeve suctioned and held by the suction port 16 of the suction duct 15, and becomes parallel to the surface, and the suction duct 15 rotates from the sleeve to the suction port 16. At this time, the ironing roller 23 presses the sleeve S against the conveyance surface 4, so that the sleeve S is spread outward to the left and right and lands on the conveyance surface 4. At the same time, the hanger members 8, 8 of the hanger mechanism 7 close in parallel and come out of the collar, and almost the entire body, excluding the hem, lands on the conveyance surface 4, and is immediately conveyed at high speed, and the input frame 5 returns to its original position. Next, the fabric passes through a collar correction mechanism 40 to correct the bulge or droop of the nape, and is sent out from a delivery section 42 to the next process such as an ironer.

(Effects) Therefore, according to the present invention, by simply hanging the clothes on a hanger and placing the sleeves on the receiving plate of the suction duct, it is possible to eliminate the problems that occur when the sleeves from the front of the clothes are uneven or partially turned up. However, work efficiency is significantly improved because the suction airflow vibrates the sleeves and pulls them left and right, shaping the clothing at the top of the front and then pushing the sleeves out onto the conveying surface. Furthermore, the quality of the shaping work is more consistent than when doing it manually, and a series of operations from uniform shaping to transfer of clothing can be carried out.
