Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to large bedclothes such as blankets, blankets, cushions and cushions (generally referred to as "futon" in the specification).
The present invention relates to a futon folding device that automatically folds a futon.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to put a new manufactured futon into a folding bag, it is necessary to manually fold each futon and then put it into the bag.

[0003]

However, the method of folding the futon by hand requires that the bulging futon be pushed down and folded one by one, and the greater the number of futons, the more labor and labor cost. Was required, and it was difficult to fold it accurately by hand. The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve these conventional problems and to provide a futon folding device that automatically folds the futon in a compact and accurate manner by pressing the bulge of the futon so that the futon can be easily packed in a bag. is there.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The gist of the present invention, which has solved the above-mentioned problems, is to provide a work table on which a futon is placed, and to vertically move a holding bar for fixing the futon placed on the work table above the work table. A folding bar that folds a futon is rotatably attached to two lower portions on the left and right of the flat surface of the work table, and a regulation plate that regulates the folding position of the folded futon is located at two places inside the folding bar. The futon folding device is characterized in that the futon folding device is provided at the folding position.

[0005]

According to the present invention, when a futon is placed on the work table, the presser bar provided above the work table descends to fix the futon to the work table. The futon fixed to the work table is folded by folding one of the folding bars provided below the right and left of the flat portion of the work table. At the same time, move the regulation plate forward,
Precisely regulate the bent portion of the futon. When the futon is folded, the folding bar reverses and returns to its original state, and the regulation plate stops in the forward state. Next, the other folding bar is also rotated to fold the comforter so that it does not swell, and at the same time, the regulation plate is advanced to accurately regulate the bent portion of the comforter. Therefore, it is possible to fold the comforter by pressing the bulge of the comforter so that the comforter can easily pack the bag in a compact and accurate manner.

FIG. 5 is a process diagram showing a state where one side of the futon of the present embodiment is folded, FIG. 5 is a process diagram showing a state where the futon of the present example is folded, and FIG. 6 is a partially cutaway side view of a state where the folded futon of the present example is transferred. It is a figure.

In the figure, 1 is a futon folding device, 2 is a work table of the futon folding device 1, 3 is a futon, 4 is a folding bar for folding the futon 3, and 5 is a holding bar for fixing the futon 3 to the work table 2, 6 Is a regulation plate that regulates the bent portion of the folded futon 3, 7 is a cylinder that undulates the regulation plate 6, 8 is a drive belt, 9 is a fixing bar that fixes the folded futon 3 from above, and 10 is a cylinder Denoted at 11 is an extruding device for transporting the folded futon 3 for the next process, and denoted at 12 is a motor for rotating the folding bar 4.
3 is a motor for moving the pushing device 11 forward and backward, 14 is a cylinder for moving the fixed bar 9 up and down, 15 is a cylinder for moving the holding bar 5 up and down, 16 is a pushing plate provided at the tip of the pushing device 11, and 17 is a folding member. A bagging device for packing the futon, and a plastic bag 18 for wrapping the folded futon.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a work table 2 on which a futon 3 is placed is provided.
The presser bar 5 for fixing the futon 3 placed on the upper part of the work table 2 is vertically movably projected from the upper side part of the work table 2.
Folding bars 4 for folding the bedding 3 are rotatably provided by the motor 12 at two positions on the left and right on the plane of the work table 2. The folding bar 4 is provided at two places inside the folding bar 4.
A regulating plate 6 for accurately regulating the bent portion of the futon 3 folded by is provided by a pneumatic cylinder 7 so that it can be raised and lowered. Further, the futon 3 is folded on the uppermost portion of the work table 2 by the folding bar 4 and the folding portion is regulated by the regulation plate 6.
A fixing bar 9 for fixing the upper part from above is provided by a cylinder 14 so as to be movable up and down, and the drive belt 8 is operated by the motor 13 in order to perform the next processing on the futon 3 which is folded and fixed at the upper part and the bent part. As a result, the cylinder 10 moves forward, and a push-out device 11 for pushing out the futon 3 is provided by a push-out plate 16 provided at the tip of the cylinder 10.

As described above, the futon folding device 1 of this embodiment is formed, and when the futon folding device 1 is used, the futon 3 is spread and placed on the work table 2 as shown in FIG. When 1 is operated, the presser bar 5 of the work table 2 is lowered by the cylinder 15 to fix the futon 3 to the work table 2. Next, as shown in FIG.
The right side folding bar 4 provided below the flat portion of the work table 2 is rotated to fold the futon 3 that is fixed to the futon 3 while lifting one side of the futon 3.
