Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

[Technical field to which the invention pertains] This invention is a system in which clothes used in a radiation-controlled area are washed and the presence or absence of radioactive contamination is measured using a laundry monitor, after which only normal clothes are folded so that they can be used again. This invention relates to an automatic folding device for a laundry monitor. [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 to a monitoring conveyor device, and the degree of radioactive contamination of the clothing is measured by a radiation detector placed on this monitoring conveyor device. Thereafter, 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. Contaminated clothing, on the other hand, is discharged without being folded. By the way, conventionally, in this type of apparatus, a synthetic resin rubber belt is generally used as a conveyor belt for conveying clothes. However, such rubber belts are used to sandwich and transport various types of clothing made of different materials, such as paper clothes, rubber or vinyl knitwear, cotton, cotton/polyester blends, or 100% polyester clothing. This resulted in elongation, deterioration of conveyance performance, and the product was unsatisfactory for long-term use. [Purpose of the invention] In view of the above-mentioned points, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic folding device for laundry monitors that effectively solves the problems of the conventional technology, maintains conveyance performance, and can withstand long-term use. do. [Main points of the invention] In order to achieve such a purpose, the invention has the following points:
The folding conveyor device is characterized by being equipped with a conveyor belt mainly made of cotton, which is easily adaptable to various types of clothing made of different materials. [Embodiment of the invention] Next, an embodiment of the 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 arranged on this monitor conveyor device 11,
It also includes a radiation detector (not shown) that measures the degree of radiation contamination of clothing 3. The automatic folding device 5 for laundry monitor is disposed on the inlet side after the laundry monitor 10, and is connected to the folding conveyor device 6.
The receiving roller section 13 is close to the exit roller section 12 of this motor conveyor device 11. Further, the folding conveyor device 6 includes a first conveyor device 14,
Second conveyor 15, third conveyor 16, fourth conveyor 17, fifth conveyor 18, discharge conveyor 1
9. Consists of bypass conveyor 20, 20A. The second knife operating mechanisms 8 and 9 shown in FIG. 1 are comprised of knife parts 21 and 22, link parts 23 and 24, operating cylinders 25 and 26, and the like. Furthermore, 27
2 is a photoelectric switch for detecting clothing 3 carried between the first and second conveyors 14 and 15;
Reference numeral 8 designates a photoelectric switch for detecting folded clothing 3 passing behind the fifth conveyor 17. 29 is a stacker part, which is always closed by two butterfly plates 30, and 31 and 32 are these butterfly plates.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, the conveyor belt of the folding conveyor device is mainly made of cotton, thereby improving the conveyance performance when conveying various clothes made of different materials, which is a problem in the conventional technology. This effectively solves the problem of deterioration, maintains its conveying performance, and makes it durable for long-term use.
