BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is used in laundry companies and the like, and relates to a wrinkle straightening machine for straightening the wrinkles of shirts in the pretreatment of the process of folding shirts such as shirts and blouses.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Utility Model Application No. 2-11 previously disclosed by the present applicant
According to the folding device for shirts of No. 1962, as shown in FIG. 7, the laundry 2 is supplied from the supply device 1 onto the plate base 3 of the folding device, and the flaps 4 are provided below the plate base 3 from both sides. Fold the side part of the laundry 2 so that it enters. In this way, the laundry 2 whose side portions are folded is moved by the slide plate 5 and inserted into the packaging bag 6, whereby packaging is performed and the article 7 to be packaged is discharged. As shown in FIG. 8, the laundry 2 supplied to the folding device as described above is, for example, a rectangular hanger 8 on which the laundry 2 is put and suspended by a hook 9. Then, as shown in FIG. 9 in the folding device, the side portion 10 is folded back to the back side of the hanger 8 and covered with the packaging bag 6,
As shown in FIG. 10, the article 7 to be packaged is obtained in which the hook 9 projects from the upper end of the packaging bag 6.

[0003]

However, in the laundry 2 conveyed by the supply device 1, as shown in FIG. 11, the side portion 10 of the shirt is folded forward and wrinkled. Some have become. When such a wrinkled laundry 2 is supplied to the folding device as it is and wrapped, the flap 4 may not be able to fold the side portion well. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the wrinkled laundry 2 is covered with the packaging bag 6 as it is, and the unfolded article 11 is discharged. Therefore, in order to prevent such a folding failure, it is necessary for the worker to monitor the laundry 2 thoroughly and, when the wrinkled laundry 2 is about to be supplied, take measures such as stretching the wrinkles by hand. However, it is troublesome and laborious for the worker to monitor and straighten the wrinkles by hand. Also, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-310698 discloses that the sleeve is formed by the suction means, but the structure is complicated and the formation is not sufficiently performed.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a means which is capable of straightening the wrinkles of laundry with a simple device and without the labor of an operator. In order to achieve such an object, belts are stretched on both sides of shirts conveyed in a suspended state on hangers, etc. in the traveling direction, and a shirt is used with a suction bed that moves as the belt moves. We devised a wrinkle flattening machine for shirts that is configured to sequentially stretch the side parts of shirts by sucking the side parts of the shirts.

[0005]

[Operation] The suction bed, which is provided on both sides of the shirts and moves with the belts that are expanded in the direction of travel, sucks the side portions of the shirts that are suspended from hangers, etc., and sequentially stretches them for conveyance. Straighten wrinkles.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a front view of the wrinkle straightening machine, and FIG. 2 is a right side view. The screw 22 supported by the guide 21 above the frame 20 rotates by the operation of the motor 23, and conveys the laundry 2 suspended by the hook 9 in the arrow direction (right direction) in FIG. The laundry 2 that has been conveyed to the end by the screw 22
Is transferred to the transfer arm 24 of the folding device. As shown in FIG. 3, a belt 26 wound around three rollers 25 is provided in the middle portion of the frame 20 so as to face each other. There is. These belts 26 rotate in a direction in which the laundry 2 is transferred by a driving force (not shown) (see FIG. 3). The circumferential movement of the belt 26 and the conveyance by the screw 22 are at the same speed. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a suction head 27 is provided inside these belts 26.
The suction pump 28 disposed below the frame 20 and the suction head 27 are connected by a hose 29.

As shown in FIG. 4, the belt 26 is provided with a large number of suction ports 30, and the suction head 27 is provided with an opening 31 located on the back side of the belt 26. As a result, the outside air is sucked from the suction port 30 located in front of the opening 31, and the suction port 30 moves while continuing the suction due to the circumferential movement of the belt 26.

In the above-mentioned one, the laundry 2 attached to the hanger 8 as shown in FIG.
It is suspended by a hook 9 at the starting end portion of 2, and is conveyed in the direction of the arrow in FIG. In this way, the laundry 2 is inserted between the left and right belts 26, and the laundry 2 shown in FIG.
Then, the side portion 10 is fed rearward as the belt 26 rotates. In this way, when the laundry 2 is sent to the opening 31 of the suction head 27, the side of the laundry 2 is sucked by the suction force from the suction port 30 formed in the belt 26 as shown in FIG. The side portion 10 is sucked left and right. As a result, the laundry 2 is pulled to the left and right sides, and the wrinkles are gradually extended. The laundry 2 is further transported to the rear by the screw 22 being conveyed, and the suction port 30 continues to suck while moving the laundry 2 at the same speed as the laundry 2 while the laundry 2 is being conveyed. As a result, the wrinkles are gradually and smoothly extended while the laundry 2 is being conveyed (see FIG. 6). Thus, as shown in FIG. 5C, the laundry 2 is pulled from the left and right sides at the rearmost portion of the belt 26 so that the wrinkles gradually extend. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the laundry 2 in a completely wrinkled state is conveyed to the end by the screw 22 and transferred to the transfer arm 24 of the folding device.

[0009]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the wrinkle straightening machine of the present invention, by sucking the side portions of shirts during transportation, the wrinkles can be straightened without the labor of the operator. This eliminates the need for the operator to monitor laundry carefully or to stretch out wrinkles by hand, which reduces labor. In addition, by sucking both sides of the shirts, it is possible to stop the shaking of the laundry that occurs during transportation, and thus it is possible to smoothly supply the shirts to the next folding step. . Since the belts arranged on the side portions of the shirts are gradually expanded in the traveling direction, the shirts are sequentially stretched by the suction bed that moves together with the belts.
The molding is sufficiently performed, and the belt and the suction bed make up a simple structure.
