Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field to which the invention pertains] This invention is based on the invention that after clothes used in a radiation controlled area are washed and the presence or absence of radioactive contamination is measured using a laundry monitor, only normal clothes are washed. This invention relates to an automatic folding device for a laundry monitor that can be folded and used again.

[Prior art and its problems] Conventionally, this type of device consists of a laundry monitor and an automatic folding device installed after the laundry monitor. The clothing is conveyed by a monitoring conveyor device, and the degree of radioactive contamination of the clothing is determined by a radiation detector placed on the monitoring conveyor device. After this measurement, the clothes are received from the monitoring conveyor device to the folding conveyor device of the automatic folding device, and normal clothes determined based on the output signal of the radiation detector are appropriately folded and used again. Ru. On the contrary,
Contaminated clothing is discharged without being folded. By the way, the acceptance of clothes from the monitor conveyor device to the folding conveyor device is carried out only by the rotation of the conveyor belt, with the receiving roller portion of the folding conveyor device being provided close to the exit roller portion of the monitor conveyor device. It is being said. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the leading end of the garment 3 tends to collapse between the exit roller section 1 and the receiving roller section 2, resulting in folded sections 4 and 4A, making it difficult to receive the garment smoothly and to ensure that it is not properly received. There was a problem that it could not be folded properly.

[Purpose of invention]

In view of the above-mentioned points, it is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic folding device for a laundry monitor that effectively solves the problems of the prior art, has a simple structure, and can improve its folding function.

[Key points of the idea]

In order to achieve this purpose, the present invention
The receiving roller section of the folding conveyor device that receives clothes from the monitoring conveyor device is characterized in that a brush-like protrusion member is provided on the surface thereof.

[Example of idea]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the automatic folding device for laundry monitor according to the present invention, and Fig.
The plan view in the figure and FIG. 3 also show a left side view. In FIGS. 1 to 3, the laundry monitor automatic folding device 5 mainly includes a folding conveyor device 6 and a folding means provided on the folding conveyor device 6, which folds the clothes 3 at least twice in this embodiment. It consists of first and second knife actuation mechanisms 8 and 9 for holding the knife. 10 is a laundry monitor, and a monitor conveyor device 11 that conveys the clothes 3
and a radiation detector (not shown) that is placed on this monitoring conveyor device 11 and measures the degree of radioactive contamination of clothing 3. The automatic folding device 5 for laundry monitor has its entrance side connected to the laundry monitor 1.
0, and the receiving roller section 13 of the folding conveyor device 6 is arranged in the latter stage of the monitor conveyor device 1.
1 is close to the exit roller section 12 of No. 1. Further, the folding conveyor device 6 includes a first conveyor 14, a second conveyor 15, a third conveyor 16, and a fourth conveyor 1.
7. Consists of a fifth conveyor 18, a carry-out conveyor 19, and bypass conveyors 20 and 20A. In addition, the first
and the second knife actuating mechanism 8, 9 is the knife part 2
1, 22, link parts 23, 24, operating cylinders 25, 26, etc. Furthermore, 27 is a photoelectric switch for detecting the clothes 3 carried in between the first and second conveyors 14 and 15, and 28 is also a photoelectric switch for detecting the folded clothes 3 passing through the rear of the fifth conveyor 17. It is a photoelectric switch for 2
9 is the stacker section, which always has two butterfly plates 30.
31 and 32 are this butterfly plate 30
This is an operation cylinder and a link part for opening and closing operations. Furthermore, the arrow direction A is the clothes receiving direction, the arrow direction B1 is the normal clothes removal direction, and the arrow direction C1 is the contaminated clothes discharge direction.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 4, the receiving roller portion 13 is provided with a brush-like protrusion member 33 in this embodiment. By providing this brush-like protrusion member 33, the clothing 3 can be
and the receiving roller part 13, and the first
It is reliably received into the folding conveyor device 6 without forming the folded portions 4, 4A as shown in the figure, and accurate folding is possible.

Next, FIG. 4 shows a schematic configuration diagram of the main parts of an embodiment of the present invention in FIG. 3 without FIG. 1, A is a front view thereof, B is a side view thereof, and FIG. FIG. 2 is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view. In FIGS. 4 and 5, the receiving roller section 13 is attached with a plurality of conveyor belts 34 and constitutes a part of the first conveyor 14, and is connected between the belt receiving section 35 and the plurality of conveyor belts 34. It consists of spacing parts 36 that are maintained at constant intervals. As shown in FIG. 5, the brush-like protrusion member 33 planted on the outer peripheral surface of the spacer 36 is inserted so that both ends protrude from two holes provided in the spacer 36, and the center portion is tied with a string. It is made of a synthetic resin fiber material 37 bound with 39, and is held down and fixed by a groove 40 of a holding ring 38 inserted into the inner surface of the spacing part 36. Note that 41 is a shaft body.

Next, FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram of the main parts of another embodiment of the present invention, in which A is a front view thereof and B is a side view thereof. In the figure, the receiving roller section 113 constitutes a part of the first conveyor 14 to which a plurality of conveyor belts 34 are attached, and includes a belt receiving section 35 and a spacing section 136. The spacer 136 is made of an elastic rubber-like material, and a brush-like protrusion member 133 is integrally formed on its outer peripheral surface. Therefore, similar to the brush-like protrusion member 33 in FIG. 4, it is possible to prevent the clothing 3 from falling down when being received.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, by providing a brush-like protrusion member on the outer peripheral surface of the receiving roller part of the folding conveyor device that receives clothes,
It would be possible to prevent folds caused by clothes falling between the outlet rollers of the monitor conveyor device, which is a problem with the conventional technology, to ensure that the clothes are accepted, and to fold the clothes accurately. The structure is simple, the function is improved, and the device can withstand long-term use.
