CONSTITUTION:The clothing is applied to a carrier belt 2 facing the collar upward, and is carried to the next process. The correction member 10 with width wider than the collar is moved from the lower side to the upper side for the collar of the clothing at a prescribed position on a carring plane 9. Also, the travel mechanism of the correction member 10 consisting of a suspension type link 13 and supporting shafts 12, 14. etc., is supported with bearings in suspension type by locating at the upper position of the correction member 10, and is provided at a machine body 1 so that the mechanism itself can be moved in the travel direction of the clothing. Furthermore, a pressurizing means consisting of a tortion spring 18 pressurizes the correction member 10 along the carrying plane 9 on which the clothing is placed so that the collar can be moved as being pressurized by the action of the travel mechanism. As a result, it is possible to arrange the posture and the shape of the collar especially when the clothing is applied, which enables the automatic application to be performed perfectly.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a collar correction mechanism in a garment pre-processing machine.

(Prior Art) For example, in the process of washing, drying, ironing, or folding large quantities of clothing such as yukatas and gowns, loading, dressing, and many other tasks are automated.

The first operation is to place the washed clothes on the conveyance surface (loading step) in the pretreatment step.

(Technical Problem) The above-mentioned feeding process is usually used to send the garment to the processing process in a trimmed state, but the appearance of the garment at this stage often affects the final product. Among these, the collar is a key point; whether the garment is loaded manually or mechanically, it is desirable that the collar is perfect, and it is the difference between the quality of the product and the quality of the product.

For this reason, there are methods such as relying on workers to put it in, or folding the collar in so that it is not visible, but these methods do not solve the problem.

The present invention has been made with attention to the above points, and its purpose is to adjust the appearance and shape of the collar in particular when putting clothes in, and thereby to complete the automatic putting in of clothes. An object of the present invention is to provide a collar correction mechanism in a processing machine.

(Technical Means) The above purpose is to load the garment with the collar facing upward into a conveyor strap, and in a pre-processing machine for the garment to be conveyed to the next process, the collar of the garment is placed at a predetermined position on the conveyor surface. a correction member that is wider than the collar and moves from bottom to top against the collar; a moving mechanism for a correction member provided on the body; and a pressurizing means for pressing the correction member along a conveyance surface on which clothing is placed so that the movement mechanism moves while applying pressure to the collar. This is achieved by a collar correction mechanism.

(Example) This will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a clothing pre-processing machine, which is composed of a large number of conveyor belts that are provided to transport the clothes from the middle of the front of the main body 1 toward the upper rear. A transport mechanism 2, a substantially gate-shaped input frame 3 which is pivotally supported at the lower end on the front side of the main body 1 and which can be tilted onto the conveyance surface, and a slot provided in the center of the input frame 3 for hanging the collar of clothing. It is equipped with a hanger mechanism 4 and a shaping device 5, which will be described later.

The collar correction mechanism 6 is installed in conjunction with the hanger mechanism 4 and is located above the hanger 7.8 in order to pressurize the collar when the pair of hangers 7.8 of the hanger mechanism 4 are removed from and removed from the collar. Note that the pair of hangers 7 and 8 have been partially turned about 90 degrees in the conveying direction from the initial position (Figs. 1 and 5) in which the abbreviated members were opened in a T-shape. It is configured to perform opening and closing movements until the closed position (FIG. 6). Although the specific operating structure of the hanger mechanism 4 may be arbitrary, it opens and closes using the structure disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 1-175796, for example.

The collar correction mechanism 6 has a rod-shaped correction member 10 extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the conveyance direction, which is substantially equal to the vertical direction of the garment, and the portion of the member 10 that contacts the collar faces downward, that is, toward the conveyance surface 9. It protrudes and is pivotably supported by a first support shaft 12 on a link 13 on the moving mechanism 15 side at an upper base 11 . lOa indicates a prominent contact rod. Reference numeral 14 denotes a second support shaft, and the link 13 is pivotally supported at the upper end of the link 13, and the support shaft 14 is connected via a shaft coupling 16 to a rotary power source 17 consisting of a rotating cylinder for driving, etc. The link 13 can be rotated about the second support shaft. Further, at the first support shaft 12, a torsion spring 18 is applied so that the correction member 10 rotates by changing the support angle by the rotation of the link 14, and presses against the conveying surface.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a mounting bracket through which the collar correction mechanism is attached to the input frame 3.

The illustrated pre-processing machine is equipped with a shaping device 5, which hangs a garment W on a shaped body 23 that is erected on a base 21 at the lower front via a support 22, and conveys the shaped body 23 as it is. It also has a configuration in which it can be handed over by tilting it onto the surface 9. Further, on both sides of the hanger mechanism 4, there are provided sleeve holding mechanisms 25.25, which are equipped with left and right ducts 24.24 for sucking and holding both sleeves of the clothes W hung on the hanger. installed on. The mechanism 25 is the duct suction port 2
6, a hose 27 leading to a fan that suctions the sleeves, a guide link 28 that rotates the duct 24 from the garment attachment position on the right side of the hanger h in the direction of the conveyance surface 9, and a drawer roll 29 that presses the sleeve against the conveyance surface. have 30 is a support shaft of the loading frame 3, and 31 is a telescopic rod for tilting the loading frame, which is operated by a cylinder mechanism within the main body.

(Operation) In the pretreatment machine configured as described above, the collar correction mechanism operates as follows. When the clothes W are hung on the hanger mechanism 4 and the device is operated, the clothes W approach the conveyance surface 9 due to the tilting of the input frame 3 and stop, and the hanger 18 is closed and pulled out from the collar. Figs. 6 and 9 ), and at the same time, due to the operation of the collar correction mechanism, the correction member IO approaches the collar from below and rotates so as to press it onto the conveying surface 9.

Even when the contact rod 10a of the correction member 10 contacts the collar, the link 13 continues to rotate, so the correction member 10 changes its angle relative to the link 13 so that it is bent at the first support shaft 13. While being pulled by the link 13 and under the action of the elasticity of the torsion spring 18, the contact rod 10a presses against the collar of the garment W from bottom to top according to the speed difference (Figs. 7 and 10). ).

In the pressurizing correction operation by the correction member 10 described above, the acting force that presses against the conveyance surface 9 is due to the weight of the correction member 10,
It can be freely adjusted by changing the shape and the strength of the spring 18,
When the hanger 7.8 is removed from the collar, the collar is pinched with the conveying surface 9 over the front width and entire length of the collar.

(Effect) Therefore, according to the present invention, the collar of clothing can be corrected by pressurizing and moving the correction member, thereby eliminating "bulges" and "sagging" around the collar and adjusting the appearance and shape of the collar. By shaping the collar, high-quality clothing can be processed with high efficiency, and this has the effect of completely automating the loading of clothing.
