Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a glove heat treatment apparatus used for processing gloves, particularly the wrist portion of work gloves.

Conventionally, the wrist part of work gloves was processed by weaving rubber thread into the wrist part and sewing the ends with an overlock sewing machine. Therefore, due to the complicated work of overlock sewing, it is difficult to automate the machine, and the work efficiency is extremely low. However, with the advent of a processing method that uses hot-melt adhesive thread in the wrist area and fuses and fixes the hot-melt-type adhesive thread, production efficiency has been greatly improved.
Because the heat treatment equipment shown in the diagram is used,
There were drawbacks that tended to lead to the occurrence of defective products.

That is, in the conventional heat treatment apparatus, the gloves M to be processed are placed on a conveyor 1 formed of a mesh body, and heated by blowing hot air from above and below via blowers 2, 2 while passing through the apparatus. Therefore, if the glove M to be processed on the conveyor is polymerized, the heat treatment of the polymerized portion will be insufficient and unevenness will occur in the processed portion. Therefore, the gloves must be arranged regularly on the conveyor, which naturally limits the production volume.

In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional glove heat treatment equipment, the present invention is a device that enables continuous heat treatment of a large amount of gloves without unevenness in the processed parts even if gloves to be processed are overlapped when continuously fed in. The device is configured by providing an inclined rotating cylinder with air permeability in a high temperature chamber, and enabling the gloves to be heat-treated while being transported from top to bottom inside the rotating cylinder.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 3 denotes a rotating cylinder made of stainless steel, and the rotating cylinder 3 is provided at an angle and is driven by a motor 3a. It rotates at a constant speed that is arbitrarily set within the range of 3 to 30 revolutions per minute. 4 is a heater, and air heated by the heater 4 is blown directly onto the rotary cylinder 3 via a blower 4a. A carry-in conveyor 5 for carrying the gloves M to be processed into the rotary cylinder 3 is provided in the upper part of the rotary cylinder 3.
At the same time, a carry-out conveyor 6 is provided below to carry out the gloves M' that have been processed.
The rotary cylinder 3, the blower 4a, and the heater 4 are covered by a metal case 7 which is heat-insulated, and the inside of the metal case 7 is maintained at a high temperature. The device of this embodiment has a temperature of 80°C to the rotating cylinder 3.
It is configured to blow hot air at a temperature of ~140℃.

In addition, 8 shown in the drawing is a rectifying plate that controls the direction of hot air blown onto the rotary tube 3, and 9 is a door that can be opened and closed.

To explain the heat treatment procedure for gloves using the heat treatment apparatus configured as described above, gloves M to be processed knitted from a large number of glove knitting machines are collected from each collection conveyor onto one conveyor 10, from there to the carry-in conveyor 5, and then continuously from the conveyor 10 into the rotary cylinder 3. The glove M to be processed inside the rotating barrel 3 is
Rotates together with the rotary cylinder 3 while attached to the inner wall,
After rotating approximately 90 degrees, they begin to fall one after another, repeating this motion until they are sent downward along the incline. During this time, the hot air blown to the rotating barrel 3 directly hits the glove to be processed through the wire mesh of the rotating barrel 3, thereby heat-treating the glove. In the heat treatment, the gloves are stirred in a rotating cylinder, so even if they remain polymerized or are continuously transported, they can be heated uniformly and processed evenly. Therefore, the heat processing capacity can be increased all at once. In this embodiment, the rotary cylinder is formed of a wire mesh, but a porous rotary cylinder which has ventilation by providing a large number of holes in the cylinder may also be used. Furthermore, it is convenient to operate a plurality of heat treatment apparatuses at the same time by blowing hot air from a large hot air generator to maintain the interior of the metal case at a high temperature without incorporating a heater or blower into the apparatus. In addition to gloves, this device can also be applied to socks and sweaters.

As described above, according to the present invention, when gloves sent into a heat treatment apparatus conventionally polymerize with each other,
The heat treatment of the polymerized portion was insufficient, leading to the generation of defective products, but since this device heat-treats the gloves while agitating them with a rotating cylinder, they can be transported in a polymerized state and in large quantities continuously. Heat processing can be performed evenly and efficiently. In addition, heat-treated gloves
The hot-melt type adhesive thread is fused and fixed to the end of the glove to complete the edge processing, eliminating the need for overlock sewing, and the glove itself is heated. Gloves that have already shrunk are less likely to shrink further when you select them or due to sudden temperature changes, so heat-treated gloves should be treated with preshrunk gloves. It can be finished into something that has the same effect. In this way, the present invention
This not only increases the production volume of gloves, but also greatly contributes to improving the quality of the gloves themselves.
