Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a hood device for a three-dimensional cleaning finishing machine.

<Prior Art> Today, three-dimensional molding finishing machines are used in cleaning finishing processes. This finishing machine consists of a support form that supports clothes such as dresses and jackets while wearing them, and a device that injects steam or hot air onto the clothes supported by this support form. This is used to finish the cleaning.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> On the other hand, Utility Model Application Publication No. 111493/1973 or Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 1973
- Publication No. 112589 discloses that a frame is assembled into a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape on a base, and cloth covers are placed on the four sides and the top to form a clothes storage chamber, and on the other hand, a steam generator is provided within the base. A clothing finishing machine has been disclosed in which steam is ejected from below into a clothing storage chamber to inject the steam onto the clothing inside.

However, with this clothing finishing machine, no consideration has been given to discharging the steam discharged into the clothing storage chamber to the outside, and when using it for several items of clothing at home, it is difficult to clean it. When used repeatedly on many clothes in a store, the work room becomes hot and humid, making it impossible to improve the work environment. Slide fasteners are arranged in the vertical direction at both left and right ends of the front surface of the storage chamber, and the slide fasteners are used to open the front surface of the clothes storage chamber to take clothes in and out. However, cleaning operations require the garment to be trimmed and applied to the support form as described above. Therefore, in a configuration in which only the front side of the clothes storage chamber is opened, the back side of the clothes cannot be properly arranged, and only an extremely poor finish can be expected. In addition, in order to properly arrange the back of the clothes, the worker must enter this clothes storage room and
Although it may be necessary to put your hands behind the clothes,
This type of work is time-consuming and difficult to properly dress, and requires an unnecessary increase in the size of the clothes storage chamber, which not only increases the work area and equipment size, but also requires unnecessary steam generation. This creates the problem of consuming as necessary.

Furthermore, in this clothing finishing machine, when the front side of the clothing storage chamber is opened to take out the clothes after the work is completed, there is a risk that the steam inside may blow out towards the operator from the front opening. It is extremely dangerous for the steam inside to concentrate and hit the worker, and the only way to prevent this is to wait for the steam to subside naturally. As a result, when a large number of clothes need to be processed in succession at a dry cleaning shop or the like, there is a problem in that the waiting time between jobs becomes long and work efficiency deteriorates.

<Means for Solving the Problems> Therefore, the present invention is a hood device used in a three-dimensional molding and finishing machine for cleaning, which sprays hot air or the like onto clothes such as dresses and jackets supported by a support form. , the above problem is solved by providing something having the following configuration.

This hood device includes a hanging body 2 disposed above the support form 104, a cylindrical expandable hood 1 whose upper end is supported by the hanging body and whose lower end is open, and a cylindrical expandable hood 1 which is made to expand and contract. The hood includes a device and an exhaust device 5, 94, which has an intake port formed in the upper part of the hood and discharges hot air, etc. in the hood from the upper part of the hood.

The above hanging body 2 has pillars 21, 82, 83
and support members 27 and 88 extending laterally from the support column to reach substantially directly above the support form 104 and supporting the upper end of the hood 1.

The device for expanding and contracting the hood 1 includes elevating bodies 31 and 64 fixed to the lower end of the hood 1;
These elevating bodies 31, 64 are connected to the above-mentioned support form 10.
4 and a lifting device for moving the hood from the upper part to the lower part, and the hood 1 is arranged in a contracted state above the support form 104 by the device for expanding and contracting the hood, and the hood 1 is arranged in a contracted state above the support form 104. 104 is characterized by being stretched around the entire circumference from the upper part to the lower part.

<Function> In the hood device used in the cleaning three-dimensional finishing machine of the present invention, the hanging body 2 is
1, 82, 83, and support members 27, 8 that extend laterally from the pillars and reach almost directly above the support form 104, and support the upper end of the cylindrical hood 1.
8, this hood is arranged above the support form 104 in a contracted state, and stretched over the entire circumference of the support form 104 from the upper part to the lower part in an extended state. Therefore, when the hood is in the retracted state, the support form 1
There are no obstacles around the support form 104, and the clothes can be properly arranged and attached to the support form 104 from either the front, back, left or right directions of the support form 104.

The upper part of this hood is provided with an exhaust device 5, 94 which has an intake port and discharges hot air, etc. inside the hood from the upper part of the hood. It can be discharged outdoors from the upper air intake. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the work room from becoming hot and humid.
Able to maintain a good working environment.

Moreover, the device for expanding and contracting the hood 1 is
Lifting bodies 31 and 64 fixed to the lower end of the hood 1
and an elevating device that moves the elevating bodies 31 and 64 from above to below the support form 104, so when the hood is deflated, the hood is deflated from below to above. and rise. On the other hand, as described above, the steam is discharged outside from the intake port at the top of the hood by the exhaust devices 5 and 94, and the steam also rises from below and is discharged. Therefore, by discharging steam from the hood using the exhaust devices 5 and 94, it is possible to quickly move on to the next operation, and if the hood is raised in time with the rise of steam, the next operation can be started extremely quickly. It becomes possible to move.

Furthermore, even if the hood were to be raised with steam still remaining in the hood, the steam would diffuse all around from the bottom of the hood, so all of the steam would not be concentrated on the worker. This also ensures the safety of workers.

<Example> An example of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

Figure 1 is a side view of the hood device of one embodiment;
The figure is a rear view with the hood omitted, FIG. 3 is a plan view of the same, and FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of the hood device in use.

In this hood device, a hood 1 is suspended from above by a hanging body 2.

The hanging body 2 has a pair of main poles 21, 2.
1 are combined by upper and lower horizontal pipes 22, 23, and foot parts 24, 24 are attached to the lower ends. Sleeve posts 28, 28 are provided between both ends of the upper and lower horizontal pipes 22, 23. Near the upper ends of both main poles 21, 21, top plate mounting angles 25, 25 are attached with reinforcement by triangular plates 26, 26, and these top plate mounting angles 25, 2
A top plate 27, which is circular in plan view, is fixed to the lower surface of 5.

Next, the hood 1 is composed of various flexible cylindrical bodies with open ends, such as synthetic fibers, whose diameter gradually decreases toward the upper end, and circular aggregates 11 made of metal wires, etc. They are arranged at appropriate intervals in the axial direction. It is preferable that the hood 1 is made of a transparent synthetic resin film or the like so that the inside thereof can be seen through. The upper end 12 of the hood 1 is attached to the top plate 27, and the lower end 13 is attached to a pair of lifting arms 31, 31. The hood 1 expands and contracts as the lifting arms 31 and 31 move up and down.

The elevating arms 31, 31 are fixed to slide bearings 32, 32 arranged on each main pole 21, 21 so as to be movable up and down. Both slide bearings 32, 32 are connected to each other by a connecting plate 34, and the chain 3 is connected to the connecting plate 34.
One end of 5,35 is attached. This chain 35, 35 connects to the upper sprocket 36, 3.
6 and is folded back, and balance weights 37, 37 are attached to the other end. The balance weights 37, 37 are connected to a pair of guide shafts 38, 38.
It moves up and down while being guided by. Further, the upper and lower ends of the guide shafts 38, 38 are supported by the upper and lower horizontal pipes 22, 23. The sprockets 36, 36 are fixed to both ends of the rotating shaft 39,
This rotation shaft 39 is arranged on the upper horizontal pipe 22 by bearings 40, 40. The rotation shaft 39 is connected to a deceleration motor 41 and rotates.

Here, a method for expanding and contracting the hood 1 will be explained.

First, in order to retract the hood 1 from the extended state shown in FIG. 1, the deceleration motor 41 is brought to a halt. Then, due to the weight of the balance weight 37, the balance weight 37 naturally descends, and the chain 3
The connecting plate 34, slide bearings 32, 32, and lifting arms 31, 31, which are connected at points 5 and 35, rise. As a result, the hood 1 whose lower ends are attached to the lifting arms 31, 31 is contracted from below to above. This deflated hood is placed in the fourth
As shown in the figure.

On the other hand, in order to extend the hood, the deceleration motor 4
1, rotates the sprockets 36, 36, and pulls up the balance weight 37. As a result, the lifting arm 3 at the other end of the chains 35, 35
1 and 31 are lowered and the hood is extended.

Next, a blower 5 serving as an exhaust device is attached to the upper surface of the above-mentioned top plate 27. Although not shown in the drawings, the blower 5 has an intake port that passes through the top plate and opens at the upper end of the hood, and an exhaust port that is connected to an exhaust pipe that leads to the outside. This exhaust device may have its intake port communicated with any point inside the extended hood 1, but if it is communicated upward as in this example, it is advantageous for recovering rising steam and hot air. be. Furthermore, since the hood 1 contracts from the bottom to the top, the hood 1 can be contracted in synchronization with the rise of steam and hot air. As a result, the completion of exhausting steam and hot air and the completion of deflation of the hood can be accomplished almost simultaneously, which is also advantageous in terms of shortening working time.

Next, the method of using this hood device will be explained based on FIG. First, to explain the three-dimensional molding finishing machine, this finishing machine includes a steam and hot air generator 101, a base 102 connected to this,
It includes a nozzle 103 and a support form 104 erected on a base, an air body 105 covering the support form 104, and an operating switch. Although there are two types of switches, a button switch and a foot switch, only the foot switch 106 is shown in this example.

The hood device is arranged such that the hood 1 is located above the base 102. Then, as shown in the figure, after supporting the garment 107 on the support form with the hood 1 contracted, the hood 1 is expanded in the manner described above using the foot switch 6 for the hood device (as shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure). ).

Next, the finishing machine is operated by the foot switch 6 of the finishing machine, and steam and hot air are injected onto the garment 107.

Next, the steam in the hood 1 is removed by the blower 5.
After the hot air is discharged outdoors, the hood 1 is deflated.

Incidentally, the expansion and contraction of the hood 1 and the operation of the blower 5 are performed by the foot switch 6, but they may be linked with the finishing device, or the hood 1 can be deflated by a timer in accordance with the operating time of the finishing device. You can also do this.

Next, other embodiments of the expansion and contraction device used in the hood device of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 5 to 7.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged side view of this telescoping device, and FIG. 6 is an enlarged plan view of the same. The main parts of this telescoping device are placed on the right half of the top plate 27 of the previous embodiment. Therefore, in the figure, only the right half of the top plate 27 and the hood 1 from the center line C are shown, and the left half is omitted.
Moreover, the curve 5 in FIG. 6 shows a part of the blower 5, and this blower is arranged at a position that avoids the expansion and contraction device.

This telescoping device is powered by a deceleration motor 61 which is the power source.
A ratchet wheel 62 and a ribbon wheel 63 are respectively fixed to the drive shaft. This ribbon wheel 63 has, as shown in FIG.
Ends 65, 65 of the two ribbons 64, 64 are fixed at opposing positions with the central axis in between. In this embodiment, a flexible steel ribbon such as Convex Ribbon (trademark) is used as the ribbon 64, but it may be changed to a long body that can be wound with string, tape, etc. It can be implemented by Both ribbons 64, 64
are extended in mutually opposite directions (horizontal direction in the figure) and are suspended downward via guide rollers 66,
Its lower end is fixed to the lower end of the hood 1. The guide roller 66 is rotatably attached to the tip of the support arm 67, and the ribbon 64 is suspended downward from an insertion hole 68 formed in the lower surface of the support arm 67. The base end of the support arm 67 is fixed to the top plate 27, and the guide roller 66 at the tip is positioned above the outer circumference of the hood 1. In the figure, only the right side of the guide roller 66 and below is shown.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, a permanent magnet 71 is attached to the upper surface of one of the ribbons 64, and a magnet switch 72 is fixed to the mounting plate 69 of the deceleration motor. This magnet switch 72 senses the approach of the permanent magnet 71 and stops the deceleration motor.

Next, the ratchet wheel 62 will be explained. This ratchet wheel 62 is engaged with a pawl 73 that prevents the ratchet wheel 62 from reversing (rotation in the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5), and this pawl 73 is supported so as to be swingable about a shaft 77. . A connecting rod 74 extends to the left of the claw 73 in the figure, and this connecting rod 74
The tip is rotatably supported by the lower end of a movable iron core 76 of an electromagnetic solenoid 75 . In addition, the above-mentioned shaft 77
is located at the lower left of the front of the reduction motor mounting plate 69.
Further, electromagnetic solenoids 75 are respectively attached to the left side surface.

Next, the operating state of the telescopic device having the above configuration will be explained.

First, in order to change the illustrated hood 1 from the contracted state to the extended state, the electromagnetic solenoid 75 is energized and the movable iron core 76 is moved upward. Then, the pawl 73 rotates downward about the shaft 77, and the pawl 73 is disengaged from the teeth of the ratchet wheel 62. This results in
In this state, the drive shaft of the deceleration motor whose power is turned off is in a free state, and the ribbon wheel 63 is
It becomes possible to rotate clockwise (rotation opposite to the arrow in Fig. 5). Therefore, while pulling out the ribbon 64, the hood 1 stretches downward due to its own weight.

Next, in order to deflate the hood 1, the deceleration motor 1 is activated and the ribbon wheel 63 is rotated to the left (in the direction of the arrow in the figure). As a result, the left and right ribbons 64, 64 are wound onto one ribbon wheel 63 while being overlapped, and the hood is contracted from the lower end of the hood 1 fixed to the ribbon tip.

Then, the ribbon is further wound, and ribbon 6
Permanent magnet 71 attached near the tip of 4
However, when it reaches the top surface of the top plate and approaches the magnet switch 72, the magnet switch is activated, turning off the power to the deceleration motor 61 and at the same time stopping the excitation of the electromagnetic solenoid 75. As a result, the movable iron core 76 descends and the pawls 73 engage with the teeth of the ratchet wheel 62, thereby preventing the drive shaft from reversing (rotation in the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow in the figure). This results in
The hood 1 is locked in a non-extensible state.
Note that the excitation of the electromagnetic solenoid 75 may be stopped at the same time as the deceleration motor is activated.

Note that in this embodiment, one ribbon wheel 6
Two ribbons 64, 64 on the left and right were fixed to 3, but
Two ribbon wheels may be attached to the same drive shaft, and the left and right ribbons 64, 64 may be fixed to each.

By using the above-mentioned telescoping device, the previous embodiment is greatly simplified, and a frame for positioning the top plate 27 above the support form 104 of the three-dimensional finishing machine is sufficient.

Next, other embodiments will be described based on FIGS. 8 to 10.

This embodiment shows a hood device that can be stored compactly using the telescoping device 81 shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 above.

This hood device consists of a pair of outer poles 82, 82.
Each of the pair of inner poles 83, 83 is slidably inserted into the interior so that both can be fixed at appropriate positions, and the blower mounting plate 84 and the lower horizontal frame are inserted between the pair of outer poles 82, 82. The main frame is what is connected and fixed with the material 85.

In the middle of the outer poles 82, 82, there is a pivot support 86,
86 extends forward from the outside of the outer pole.
These pivot supports 86, 86 have a pair of rotating arms 87,
87 is rotatably supported. The tips of these rotating arms 87, 87 are fixed to the upper surface of the top plate 88. Further, attachment bars 89, 89 of the balance weight 90 are fixed to the upper surface of the top plate 88 in parallel with these rotating arms 87, 87.
89 extends to the rear of the top plate 88, and a balance weight 90 is attached to the rear end. With the above configuration, the top plate 88 has the pivot supports 86, 86
It can rotate from a horizontal position to a nearly vertical position.

Next, the hood 1 is attached to the outer periphery of the top plate 88. This hood 1 is substantially the same as the previous embodiment, except that the upper end is not reduced in diameter and a ring 91 made of a metal plate is attached to the lower end. A pair of ribbons 64 and 6 of the expansion and contraction device 81 of the previous embodiment are attached to this ring 91.
4 tips are connected. This expansion and contraction device 81 is
This is the same as the previous embodiment, and its explanation will be omitted.

Further, an intake port 92 is bored in the top plate 88, and this intake port 92 is connected to a blower 94 via an expandable and contractible bellows-shaped intake pipe 93. This blower 94 is attached via a mounting plate 88 to the rear side near the upper end of the pair of outer poles 82, 82.
The exhaust port 95 of this blower 94 opens upward,
An exhaust pipe (not shown) is connected to this exhaust port 95, and steam and hot air are discharged.

As described above, in this embodiment, the hood can be expanded and steam and hot air can be discharged using the same procedure as in the previous embodiment, and as shown in FIG. While rotating the branches 86, 86 upwards on the top plate 88, the inner and outer pipes 8
By contracting 3, 83, 82, 82,
Can be stored compactly.

Note that the top plate 88 can be rotated manually or automatically, and its configuration will be briefly described below.
That is, a lifting device 96 is attached to the upper end of one of the outer pipes 82. This lifting device 96 uses a mechanism similar to that of the telescopic device of the previous embodiment. Although it includes a connecting rod 74, an electromagnetic solenoid 75, etc., one ribbon 97 is connected to the ribbon wheel 73, unlike the previous embodiment. The tip of the ribbon 97 is connected to a top plate 88, and the top plate 88 is rotated upward by operating a deceleration motor and winding the ribbon 97 around a ribbon wheel. At this time, due to the balance weight, only a small amount of power is required to pull up the top plate. On the other hand, in order to rotate the top plate 88 downward, as in the case of extending the hood in the previous embodiment, if the deceleration motor is turned off and the claws are released from the teeth of the ratchet wheel, the top plate 88 is rotated horizontally by its own weight. The blower is rotated to a horizontal position and stopped in a horizontal position by a structure capable of stopping the rotation as appropriate, such as by contacting the attachment bars 89, 89 of the balance weight with the lower end of the blower attachment plate 84.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, the present invention uses an expandable hood to effectively discharge steam and hot air outdoors from the use of a three-dimensional finishing machine, and also efficiently attaches and detaches clothing to and from the support form. It is something that can be done.

Moreover, even if the hood is raised with steam remaining in the hood, all of the steam will not concentrate on the worker, ensuring the safety of the worker. Furthermore, by arranging the exhaust port of the exhaust device above the hood, the hood can be deflated in accordance with the timing of exhausting steam and hot air, thereby increasing work efficiency.

Furthermore, by using the telescoping device as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the entire device can be simplified.
Furthermore, by adopting the overall structure shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, a compact storage state can be realized, and a hood device that is convenient to store at low cost can be provided.
