Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a heat bonding device for tape-like materials.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, belt loops for passing a belt through are sewn at multiple locations on the outside of the upper end of the suhon. 6th
As shown in Figure 6(a), the upper and lower ends of the belt loop R are folded back to face each other, and then the belt loop R is folded back to the upper end of the jacket Z as shown in Figure 6(b). They were sewn using a sewing machine with the parts Ra in contact with each other so that they were located on the inside.

As shown in FIG. 7(a), the belt loop R contacts the upper surface of the tape-shaped adhesive interlining S with the same tape-shaped fabric W, and also connects the left and right sides of this fabric W with the adhesive interlining S. It is formed by cutting a tape-like material T into a predetermined length, which is formed by sewing an adhesive interlining S and a fabric W together using a single-sided decorative stitch sewing machine while folded back to the back side of the tape and making contact with each other.

Also, before the cutting step, both the front and back sides of the tape-shaped material T are heated and pressed by a heating and pressure roller, and the adhesive interlining S is melted by the heat, and this melted interlining S is applied to both the front and back sides. It soaks into the fabric W and prevents the ends Rb of the folded portions Ra at both ends of the cut belt loop R from fraying when the pants are washed or the like. If the adhesive interlining S is not used, the cut end Rb of the belt loop R will be made of only the fabric W and will fray during washing, etc., but as a method to prevent this fraying, heat the interlining S to the fabric W with a roller. In addition to the above-described pressure bonding method, there is also a method in which the tape-like material T is cut into a predetermined length without using the adhesive interlining S, and then rubber glue or the like is applied to prevent fraying at both ends and then dried.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, the former method of heating and pressurizing with rollers,
In addition to requiring a heating temperature of 250°C or higher, it is also necessary to contact the heating/pressing roller with the tape-shaped material T. Therefore, if the rotation of the heating/pressing roller is stopped, the tape-shaped material may burn or There was a risk of a fire, etc.

Further, the latter method of applying and drying rubber glue, etc. has a problem of extremely low working efficiency.

Further, a phase control circuit 42 constituting heating/preheating switching control means is connected to the interface 35 via a D/A conversion circuit 41, and the heating heater 7 is connected to the phase control circuit 42. .

Next, the operation of the heat bonding apparatus for the tape-shaped material T constructed as described above will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2(a) to 5(d) and the flowchart of FIG. 5.

The solid line in FIG. 2(a) indicates that the tape-like material T is in a tensioned state, the heating heater 7 of the thermal bonding device 3 is maintained in a low preheated state that does not melt the adhesive interlining S, and both feed rollers 11, 12 indicates a stopped state.

Further, in step 1 of FIG. 5, an appropriate temperature setting value B is preset by the temperature setting digital switch 36 according to the material and thickness of the tape-shaped material T.

Now, when the one-sided decorative stitch sewing machine 19 is operated in FIG. 2(a), the tape-shaped material T is transferred to the material slack detection device 24 side while being sewn. Then, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the material T is transferred to one belt loop R by the required length and becomes slack, and the detection lever 21 rotates downward together with the material T to switch the slack detection switch. 23 is turned on, it is determined in step 2 of FIG. 5 that the material T is slack. Then, in step 3, CP

Then, when the reverse rotation of the feed motor M2 is stopped in step 13, the blower motor M2 is stopped in step 14.
1 is turned off, and then returns to step 1.

On the other hand, if the tape-like material T is not in a tensioned state in step 7, it is determined in step 15 whether the detected temperature of the temperature detector 37 is equal to or higher than the set value B, and if it is equal to or lower than the set value B, the process proceeds to step 16. The heating amount of the heating heater 7 is increased, and on the other hand, if it is equal to or higher than the set value B, the heating amount of the heating heater 7 is decreased (step 17), and in this way, the temperature of the hot air is controlled to an appropriate temperature. , the tape-shaped material T is heated and bonded under appropriate temperature conditions, and then the tension detection switch 22 of the tape-shaped material T is activated in step 7.
Returns to detection operation.

Now, in the embodiment of the present invention, the heating heater 7 and the air blowing mechanism 8 are arranged at a position apart from the tape-like material T, and the upper and lower rollers 11 do not heat the tape-like material T heated by the heating device 10. , 12, so that the melted adhesive interlining S is soaked into the upper and lower fabrics W, so that the heating member does not come into direct contact with the tape-shaped material T, and as a result, the tape-shaped material T is not burnt out. This can prevent the occurrence of fires and the like.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the feed roller 11,
12 is stopped, the heating heater 7 is switched to the preheating state by the control operation of the phase control circuit 42 based on the control signal from the CPU 31, so that the movement of the tape-shaped material T is stopped. It is possible to prevent the adhesive interlining S from melting, and by switching from preheating to heating, the next reheating can be performed more quickly than when the heating heater 7 is stopped.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments; for example, belts may be used in place of the delivery rollers 11 and 12, the delivery means and the clamping means may be constructed separately, or even a blower mechanism may be used. 8 may be omitted and the heating heaters 7 may be arranged facing each other at both upper and lower sides of the tape-shaped material T.
