Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a mechanism for shaping the body of clothing during transportation in a clothing pre-processing machine.

(Prior Art) There is a known device for sending clothes that have been dehydrated after washing to an ironer or the like, and this is a device in which the clothes are placed on a conveying surface in a state where they are arranged to the extent that they can be ironed. It is called a pre-processing machine. Although the trimming in the pretreatment machine has traditionally been done manually by workers, various attempts have been made to automate it (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 64-62199, etc.).

(Technical Problem) Garments that have been input manually or mechanically are transported to the next process in their original shape or in a shape close to it. However, there are limits to how well they can be prepared when they are introduced, and it is difficult to ensure that everything is perfect. The possible consequences are:
Clothes are not flattened enough, causing them to be partially dragged during transportation or post-processing, resulting in a lot of deformation, or air is trapped inside, which causes wrinkles and turbulence. Things like that.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to load clothes into the input surface of a pre-processing machine,
Pressure is applied to the clothes being transported, which further adds mechanical brushing to the pre-shaped clothes, which has the effect of removing washing wrinkles, eliminating sagging, and correcting uneven shaping. It is an object of the present invention to provide a body shaping mechanism in a clothing pre-processing machine which can obtain the following.

(Technical Means) The object is to provide a pre-processing machine for transporting the clothes by the means, which has a part for feeding the washed clothes in a pre-arranged state upward onto the transport means,
a push-up member disposed below the conveyance surface of the conveyance means and installed in the width direction of the conveyance means for pushing up the back side of the garment; and a push-up member disposed above the conveyance surface for pressing the front side of the garment. This is achieved by providing a rubbing member that is provided in the width direction of the conveyance means and that rubs at least the central part of the clothing from the collar to the hem by pinching and pressing the clothing with the push-up member. I can do it.

The push-up member pushes up the clothes being conveyed from below, thereby making the rubbing action of the rubbing member disposed above more effective. Therefore, a certain amount of resistance is applied to the garment during its transport.

The shaping method using these two members is based on brushing the clothing, and therefore, when transporting the clothing,
To shape clothing, especially the front, from the collar to the hem. As the shaping means, in addition to the exemplified brushes, a roll or a roll brush can also be used.

(Example) A description will be given below with reference to the drawings. The preprocessing machine 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 has a conveying means 3 consisting of a large number of belts 2 stretched at intervals, and in front of the conveying means 3, a substantially gate-shaped input frame 4 is raised from the main body at the lower end. The ironer 30 is installed in a reclined manner so that workpieces, ie, clothing, can be thrown onto the conveying surface almost automatically, and an ironer 30 is placed behind the outlet side of the conveying means 3. 31 indicates a similar conveying means for the ironer 30. The loading frame 4 has a hanger 5 that can be opened and closed at the lower center, and the workpiece is hung on this hanger, and both sleeves are placed in the left and right suction ducts 6 and 7, and the workpiece is cleaned up while being vacuum-suctioned by the suction hoses 8 and 9. can be thrown onto the conveyance surface.
Separately, a shaping base 10 is provided at the front of the preprocessing machine, and this base has a human body shape and is used to load a workpiece hung thereon onto the conveyance surface in a shaped state. 11 is its base, 12
indicates the upright support. In either case, the workpiece is loaded so that the front side of the garment's body, etc., is facing upward.

A push-up member 15 pushes up the workpiece W loaded in this way from the back side of the workpiece on the conveyance surface.
and a sliding member 22 that presses the front surface of the workpiece.

The push-up member 15 is provided so as to be rotatable around a shaft 16 installed in the width direction at the outlet side 13 of the conveyance means 3, and can cover the width of the garment along the axial direction. It has a brush part 17 provided in the range. The brush portion 17 of the member 15 can be rotated backward to a position lower than (an extension of) the conveyance surface 14, and when the brush portion 17 has started to rise, it can be rotated so that the workpiece W can be lifted sufficiently beyond the conveyance surface (Fig. 5). ,
Figure 6). 18 is a crank fixed to the shaft 16, 19 is a telescopic rod pivotally supported at the tip thereof,
It is operated by a cylinder device 20. Reference numeral 21 denotes a guide member that protrudes at the exit side 13 of the conveyance means 3 at approximately the same height as the conveyance surface 14, and extends above the conveyance means 31 in the ironer 30 disposed downstream, in order to pass the work W thereto. It is set in.

The rubbing member 22 is provided on the conveyance surface, and the sliding member 22 is
It is provided to clamp and press the front side of the press-up member 15 together with the raised push-up member 15.
Similarly, it has a brush portion 23, which is provided on a widthwise frame member 24 so as to face diagonally downward at the rear. The frame member 24 is basically a fixed type, but it is movable together with the frame member 24 in order to cope with the case where the thickness of the workpiece W is extremely different, or when the contact angle to the workpiece is a problem. It is also possible to do this. Reference numeral 25 indicates an attachment portion for the frame member 24, etc., and Y indicates a collar of the workpiece W. Furthermore, a clamping conveyor 32 is provided on the conveying means 31 on the ironer 30 side.

(Operation) When a workpiece is put into the preprocessing machine equipped with the mechanism of the present invention configured as described above, the mechanism operates as follows.

When the workpiece W is loaded onto the conveyance surface 14 using the aforementioned loading frame 4 or the shaping base 10 or by the operator's hand, the workpiece W is shaped into the original shape or a shape close to it. However, since it has only been straightened after being dehydrated after washing, it does not settle down to the conveying surface as a whole, and there may be air bubbles inside, and washing wrinkles remain all over the surface.
When such a workpiece W passes through the shaping mechanism, the lower pushing up member 15 pushes up the back side of the workpiece W above the conveyance surface 14, and a sliding member is placed at the pushed up height position. 22 is on standby, the workpiece W is held between the members 15 and 22 and is in a pressurized state, and is brushed by the brush portions 17 and 23, respectively.

When the brush parts 17 and 23 come into contact with the workpiece W, they brush the workpiece W from top to bottom of the clothing. As a result, fine wrinkles are smoothed out, remaining air bubbles are swept away from the joints, neckline, hem, etc. of the garment, and the entire garment is subjected to an even pressing force, resulting in a more tidy shape. After that, work W is iron 3
0 is sandwiched between the conveying means 31 and the clamping conveyor 32, and is further pressurized and subjected to ironing work.

(Effects) Therefore, according to the present invention, since the clothes loaded onto the input surface of the clothes pre-treatment machine and conveyed are pressurized and a shaping action such as brushing is applied, washing wrinkles are removed and the clothes are The remaining sag in the entire product is eliminated, and any unevenness in the shape is also corrected, so the shape is even more uniform than the state it was in when it was put in, and the quality of work through automation can be further improved.
