Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is a method of iron-pressing washed long clothing (yukata, hospital gown, white coat, nightgown, etc.) by adjusting the shape and rolling it. It relates to a device for feeding an ironing machine.

[Prior art]

A conventional feeding device for feeding a large amount of long clothes that have been washed and dehydrated in a commercial washing machine to a commercial roll ironing machine is a belt conveyor that has a width that is more than twice the length of the sleeve of the garment. It's hot,
When placing long garments on this conveyor and feeding them into the roll ironing machine, the sleeves of the garments are large and long, so workers manually unfold the sleeves of the garments and align the collars to smooth out wrinkles. Because the material was spread out and shaped, it required at least two people to put it in. Devices that automate these tasks are also known, but they are complicated, large and heavy devices and are expensive.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and
With a simple mechanical device, it can be done with less effort.
To provide a technology capable of semi-automatically shaping long clothing and supplying it to a roll ironing machine.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the feeding device of the present invention comprises: (a) a feeding conveyor for carrying long clothes into a roll ironing machine; and (b) a feeding device provided opposite to the entrance side of the feeding conveyor, (c) a sleeve feeding conveyor hinged to both sides of the center table and rotating between a horizontal position and a hanging position; (d) a center table having a width corresponding to the back width of a long garment; ) Hem conveying means for pinching the hem of a long garment on the center table and pulling it toward the roll ironing machine.

[Effect]

When a long garment (for example, a yukata) is placed on the center table, the width of the center table is equal to the shoulder width of the garment (yukata), so both sleeves hang down like a curtain under their own weight, making it almost flat. form.

From this state, when the suspended sleeve feeding conveyor is rotated horizontally, the garment (yukata) becomes shaped with both sleeves spread out.

From the above state, when the sleeve feeding conveyor is operated while pinching the hem with the hem conveying means and pulling it in the conveying direction, the garment (yukata) is shaped into a rough shape and placed on the supply conveyor, and is then placed in the roll ironing machine. sent to. The worker only needs to assist in the above-mentioned operations and tuck the hem or slightly adjust the collar, which significantly reduces labor.

〔Example〕

The first part is a plan view showing one embodiment of the present invention.

4 is a supply conveyor, and the conveyance direction is upward in the figure. Its outlet side (upper end in the figure) directly faces the roll ironing machine R. A center table 2 is provided directly facing the entrance side (lower end in the figure) of the supply conveyor. The width dimension W of the center table 2 is adjusted to the back width of long clothing to be handled.

FIG. 2 shows a side view of the center table 2 seen in the direction of the arrow.

3A is a beam supported by a column 3C, to which a rail 3B is attached. A hem conveying means 1 that runs along this rail 3B is provided above the above-mentioned center table 2, and is configured to be movable to the right from the illustrated position.

1B is a hem presser plate, which is rotated about an axis S by an air cylinder 1E. The air cylinder 1E is normally in a free state with no air pressure applied thereto, and has a built-in spring that contracts the piston rod to open the hem presser plate 1B as shown.

1C is a pair of hem side pressing plates, and the shaft S
It is hinged and can be rotated manually.

A pair of sleeve feed conveyors 8 are suspended by hinges at both ends of the center table.

As shown in FIG. 3, this sleeve feed conveyor 8 is rotated by a cylinder 7 as shown by arrows A and B, and is suspended from both ends of the center table 2 (shown by solid lines). and a horizontal position at equal height.

The above-mentioned sleeve feeding conveyor 8 is a belt conveyor having no driving means, and when it is in a horizontal position, it rolls into contact with the rubber rollers 10 and is driven by friction transmission.

To use the feeding device configured as described above, the hem of the washed and dehydrated yukata 5 is placed on the hem presser plate 1B of the hem conveying means 1, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the hem side pressing plate 1C is turned to determine the folding width of the hem, and the hem is aligned so as to wrap around this. (Do it manually).

When you apply hand force to the hem press plate 1B and turn it in a direction to pinch the hem of the yukata 5 (the air cylinder 1E is free), the sensor 1D is activated and the air cylinder 1E is activated.
is activated, and the hem of the yukata 5 is firmly pinched as shown in Figure 4.

In this Figure 4, the shape of the yukata 5 is drawn with a chain line for convenience of reading, but at this stage, the shape of the yukata 5 is
has not yet taken on this regular shape (has become kushiyakushiya).

From this state (FIG. 4), the hem conveying means 1 is moved upward in the figure along the rail 3B.

The yukata 5 is stretched vertically as shown in FIG.
When the back rests on the center table 2,
The stop sensor 6 operates to stop the hem conveying means 1. During the above operation, it is better to stop the supply conveyor 4. This is because the yukata 5 is stretched out in a dragging manner.

Both sleeves of the yukata 5 hang down from the center table 2 in the form of a banner, and are arranged into a substantially flat shape.

When the sleeve feed conveyor 8 is raised horizontally as shown in FIG. 4, the shapes of both sleeves are almost uniform. Therefore, the collar and other areas are adjusted accordingly.

In this state (FIG. 6), the sleeve feed conveyor 8 is brought into sliding contact with the rubber roller 10 and is interlocked with the supply conveyor 4.

The supply conveyor 4 is driven to feed the yukata 5 to the roll ironing machine (upwards in the figure).

In this embodiment, a receiving plate 11 is provided so that the aforementioned yukata spreading operation can be carried out with high efficiency without having to stop and start the supply conveyor 4 one by one.

The receiving plate 11 is composed of a pair as shown in FIG.
It is supported horizontally above the supply conveyor 4 and below the hem transport means 1 by an arm 12, and when the arm 12 is rotated, it opens left and right as shown by arrow C.

When this receiving plate 11 is used, the yukata 5 is dragged and stretched onto the receiving plate 11 in its proper shape as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 7, the hem conveying means 1 carries the yukata 5 on the receiving plate 11.
The figure shows the state in which the yukata 5 is released after it has been unfolded upward and is further advanced. When the hem conveyance means 1 is detected by the forward limit sensor 9, it moves toward the center table 2.

FIG. 8 shows the next state from FIG. The receiving plate 11 is opened (only one of the pair of receiving plates 11 is shown), and the yukata 5 is dropped onto the supply conveyor 4 and is being conveyed upward in the figure. The hem conveying means 1 is moving downward in the figure.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described in detail above, according to the feeding device of the present invention, long clothing can be semi-automatically shaped and fed to a roll ironing machine with little effort.
Furthermore, the structure is simple and inexpensive.
