Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Abnahme von Hosen von einer Doppelbein-Bügelmaschine mit einer die beiden Hosenbeine in gespreizter Stellung aufnehmenden Bügelplatte.The invention relates to a device for removing pants from a double-leg ironing machine with a bracket plate receiving the two pants legs in a spread position.

Doppelbein-Bügelmaschinen gestatten es, beide Hosenbeine gleichzeitig zu bügeln. Die Hosenbeine liegen dabei ge­streckt, in Längsrichtung ausgerichtet auf einer geteilten Bügelplatte, die in der Mitte einen Zwischenraum aufweist, durch den der Hosenbund nach unten hängt. Nach Beendigung des Bügelvorgangs muß die Hose bisher von Hand von der Bügelplatte abgenommen werden, wobei die beiden Hosen­beine sorgfältig übereinandergelegt werden müssen. An­schließend wird die Hose zumeist in einen den Saum beider Hosenbeine erfassenden Klemmbügel eingespannt.Double leg ironing machines allow you to iron both pants legs at the same time. The trouser legs are stretched, aligned in the longitudinal direction on a divided ironing plate, which has a space in the middle through which the waistband hangs down. After completing the ironing process, the pants have so far been removed by hand from the ironing plate, the two pants legs having to be carefully placed on top of one another. The trousers are then usually clamped in a clamp that grips the hem of both trouser legs.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Abnahme der Hose von der Bügelmaschine zumindest teilweise zu automatisieren.The invention has for its object to automate the removal of the pants from the ironing machine at least partially.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch den Gegen­stand des Patentanspruchs 1.This object is achieved according to the invention by the subject matter of patent claim 1.

Bei der vorgeschlagenen Vorrichtung ist in Längsrichtung der Bügelplatte ein Greifer verfahrbar, der nach Abschluß des Bügelvorgangs das Ende des einen Hosenbeins erfaßt, indem eine vorzugsweise als flache Klinge ausgebildete untere Klemmplatte des Greifers den Saum des Hosenbeins unterfährt, während eine weitere Klemmplatte sich von oben gegen den Saum legt. Anschließend wird der Saum dieses Hosenbeins durch den Greifer etwas angehoben und längs der Bügelplatte in Richtung auf den Hosenbund bewegt, wobei das Hosenbein unter Bildung einer Schleife mitgezogen wird. Der Greifer fährt über den Hosenbund hinaus zum Ende des entgegengesetzten Hosenbeins und gibt dort den Saum des erfaßten Hosenbeins frei. Auf diese Weise werden beiden Hosenbeine exakt übereinander­gelegt, ohne daß unerwünschte Falten entstehen.In the proposed device, a gripper can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the ironing plate, which grips the end of one trouser leg after the ironing process has been completed, by a lower clamping plate of the gripper, which is preferably designed as a flat blade, drives under the hem of the trouser leg, while another clamping plate opposes one another from above puts the hem. The hem of this trouser leg is then raised slightly by the gripper and moved along the ironing plate in the direction of the waistband, the trouser leg being pulled along to form a loop. The gripper moves over the waistband out to the end of the opposite pant leg and there releases the hem of the captured pant leg. In this way, the two legs of the trousers are placed exactly on top of each other without undesired wrinkles.

Beide Hosenbeine können dann gemeinsam im Bereich der übereinanderliegenden Hosensäume erfaßt werden, um die Hose von der Bügelplatte abzuziehen. Bevorzugt ist eine weitere Greifeinrichtung vorgesehen, mit der auch dieser Vorgang mechanisch ausgeführt werden kann.Both trouser legs can then be grasped together in the area of the overlapping trouser seams in order to pull the trousers off the ironing plate. A further gripping device is preferably provided with which this process can also be carried out mechanically.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform gemäß Anspruch 3 ist diese weitere Greifeinrichtung mit einem Hosen-Klemmbügelspender ausgerüstet und so ausgebildet, daß die Hose unmittelbar in den als Greifer dienenden Klemmbügel eingespannt und an dem Klemmbügel hängend abtransportiert wird.In a particularly preferred embodiment according to claim 3, this further gripping device is equipped with a trouser clamp strap dispenser and is designed such that the trousers are clamped directly into the clamp strap serving as a gripper and transported away hanging from the clamp strap.

Die Bewegungen des längs der Bügelplatte verfahrbaren Greifers und der zweiten Greifeinrichtung sind vorzugs­weise sensorgesteuert, so daß Hosen mit unterschiedlichen Beinlängen gehandhabt werden können, ohne daß hierzu be­sondere Einstell- oder Programmierarbeiten erforderlich sind.The movements of the gripper movable along the ironing plate and the second gripping device are preferably sensor-controlled, so that trousers with different leg lengths can be handled without special adjustment or programming work being required for this.

Mit Vorteil ist die vorgeschlagene Vorrichtung so aus­gelegt, daß zwei parallel nebeneinanderstehende Bügel­maschinen abwechselnd bedient werden können. Zu diesem Zweck ist für jede Bügelmaschine ein längs der jeweiligen Bügelplatte verfahrbarer Greifer vorgesehen, und die Greifeinrichtung zur Abnahme der Hosen ist in Querrich­tung der Bügelplatten zwischen den beiden Bügelmaschinen verfahrbar. Mit Hilfe dieser Anordnung kann jeweils die Hose von einer Bügelmaschine abgenommen werden, während eine Bedienungsperson eine neue Hose auf die andere Bügelmaschine auflegt. Auf diese Weise können zwei Bügel­ maschinen durch eine einzige Person bedient werden.The proposed device is advantageously designed in such a way that two ironing machines which are arranged next to one another in parallel can be operated alternately. For this purpose, a gripper movable along the respective ironing plate is provided for each ironing machine, and the gripping device for removing the trousers can be moved in the transverse direction of the ironing plates between the two ironing machines. With the help of this arrangement, the trousers can be removed from an ironing machine while an operator puts new trousers on the other ironing machine. In this way, two brackets machines are operated by a single person.

In den Unteransprüchen sind weitere vorteilhafte Ausge­staltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung angegeben.Further advantageous refinements of the device according to the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Im folgenden wird ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert.A preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 bis 3 schematische Ansichten eines längs einer Bügelplatte angeordneten Teils einer Hosen-Abnahmevorrichtung in unterschied­lichen Betriebsstellungen;
  • Fig. 4 bis 6 verschiedene Betriebsphasen beim auto­matischen Einspannen der Hose in einen Hosen-Klemmbügel; und
  • Fig. 7 und 8 zwei verschiedene Betriebsstellungen einer Einrichtung zum Erfassen und Abtransportieren der in den Klemmbügel eingespannten Hose.

  • 1 to 3 are schematic views of a part of a trousers removal device arranged along an ironing plate in different operating positions;
  • 4 to 6 different operating phases in the automatic clamping of the trousers in a trouser clamp; and
  • 7 and 8 two different operating positions of a device for detecting and removing the trousers clamped in the clamp.

In Figur 1 ist eine Bügelplatte 10 erkennbar, die den unteren Teil einer nicht gezeigten Bügelpresse bildet und auf der eine frisch gebügelte Hose 12 aufliegt. Die Bügelplatte 10 besteht aus zwei in Längsrichtung mitein­ander ausgerichteten Teilplatten 14,16, zwischen denen ein Zwischenraum 18 zur Aufnahme des Hosenbunds 20 gebildet ist. Die Hosenbeine 22,24 liegen jeweils auf einer der Teilplatten 14,16 auf.In Figure 1, an ironing plate 10 can be seen, which forms the lower part of an ironing press, not shown, and on which a freshly ironed trousers 12 rests. The bracket plate 10 consists of two longitudinally aligned partial plates 14, 16, between which an intermediate space 18 for receiving the waistband 20 is formed. The trouser legs 22, 24 each rest on one of the partial plates 14, 16.

Ein Mechanismus zum automatischen Übereinanderlegen der beiden Hosenbeine 22,24 umfaßt eine längs der Bügelplatte 10 angeordnete Laufschiene 26, an der ein Greifergestell 28 mit einem Greifer 30 verfahrbar ist. Der Greifer 30 ist mit Hilfe eines Hubzylinders 32 vertikal in Bezug auf das Greifergestell 28 bewegbar und weist zwei Klemmplatten 34,36 auf, die sich quer über die Bügel­platte 10 bzw. über deren gedachte Verlängerung erstrecken. Die obere Klemmplatte 36 ist mit Hilfe eines Schließ­zylinders 38 vertikal in Bezug auf die untere Klemmplatte 34 bewegbar. Die untere Klemmplatte 34 befindet sich gemäß Figur 1 in Höhe der oberen Oberfläche der Bügel­platte 10 und ist an ihrem der Bügelplatte zugewandten Rand schneidenförmig ausgebildet, so daß sie sich unter den Saum des Hosenbeins 24 schiebt, wenn das Greifer­gestell 28 in die in Figur 2 zeigte Position verfahren wird.A mechanism for automatically superimposing the two legs 22, 24 comprises one along the ironing plate 10 arranged track 26 on which a gripper frame 28 can be moved with a gripper 30. The gripper 30 can be moved vertically with respect to the gripper frame 28 with the aid of a lifting cylinder 32 and has two clamping plates 34, 36 which extend transversely over the bracket plate 10 or over its imaginary extension. The upper clamping plate 36 can be moved vertically with respect to the lower clamping plate 34 by means of a locking cylinder 38. The lower clamping plate 34 is located according to FIG. 1 at the level of the upper surface of the ironing plate 10 and is designed in a cutting shape on its edge facing the ironing plate, so that it slides under the hem of the trouser leg 24 when the gripper frame 28 pointed into that in FIG. 2 Position is moved.

An dem Greifer 30 ist ein nicht gezeigter optischer Sensor vorgesehen, der das Ende des Hosenbeins 24 ab­tastet und das Greifergestell 28 stillsetzt, sobald sich der Saum des Hosenbeins zwischen den Klemmplatten 34,36 befindet. In dieser Stellung wird der Saum durch Schließen der Klemmplatten erfaßt und mit Hilfe des Hubzylinders 32 etwas angehoben, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt ist.An optical sensor, not shown, is provided on the gripper 30, which scans the end of the trouser leg 24 and stops the gripper frame 28 as soon as the hem of the trouser leg is between the clamping plates 34, 36. In this position, the hem is grasped by closing the clamping plates and raised somewhat with the aid of the lifting cylinder 32, as shown in FIG. 2.

Auf der Laufschiene 26 ist ein weiterer optischer Sensor 40 verfahrbar, der zur Abtastung des Endes des Hosenbeins 22 dient. Figur 1 zeigt den Sensor 40 in seiner Ausgangs­stellung am Ende der Teilplatte 14. Der Sensor wird in Längsrichtung über die Teilplatte 14 bewegt und hält an, sobald er den Saum des Hosenbeins 22 abtastet (Figur 2). In einer nicht gezeigten Steuereinrichtung, die die Bewegungen sämtlicher Bauteile der Vorrichtung steuert, wird die erreichte Position des Sensors 40 als Ziel­position für das Greifergestell 28 gespeichert. An­ schließend wird das Greifergestell 28 aus der in Figur 2 gezeigten Stellung in die genannte Zielposition bewegt, wobei es den Sensor 40 in Richtung auf seine Ausgangs­stellung verschiebt. Das Hosenbein 24 wird durch die Bewegung des Greifers 30 mitgenommen, so daß es sich über das Hosenbein 22 legt. Wenn die Zielposition erreicht ist, gibt der Greifer 30 den Saum des Hosenbeins 24 frei, woraufhin dieser umklappt und sich deckungsgenau auf den Saum des Hosenbeins 22 legt. Das Greifergestell 28 fährt weiter in die in Figur 3 gezeigte Endstellung und verschiebt dabei den Sensor 40 wieder in seine Ausgangsstellung. Anschließend wird der Greifer 30 an­gehoben und über die Hose 12 hinweg wieder in die in Figur 1 gezeigte Ausgangsstellung bewegt.A further optical sensor 40 can be moved on the running rail 26 and is used to scan the end of the trouser leg 22. FIG. 1 shows the sensor 40 in its starting position at the end of the partial plate 14. The sensor is moved in the longitudinal direction over the partial plate 14 and stops as soon as it scans the hem of the pant leg 22 (FIG. 2). In a control device, not shown, which controls the movements of all components of the device, the position reached by the sensor 40 is stored as the target position for the gripper frame 28. At finally, the gripper frame 28 is moved from the position shown in FIG. 2 into the named target position, whereby it moves the sensor 40 towards its starting position. The trouser leg 24 is carried along by the movement of the gripper 30 so that it lies over the trouser leg 22. When the target position is reached, the gripper 30 releases the hem of the trouser leg 24, whereupon the latter folds over and lies on the hem of the trouser leg 22 in register. The gripper frame 28 moves further into the end position shown in FIG. 3 and in the process shifts the sensor 40 back into its starting position. The gripper 30 is then raised and moved over the pants 12 back into the starting position shown in FIG. 1.

Anhand der Figuren 4 bis 8 wird nachfolgend eine zweite Greifeinrichtung 42 beschrieben, mit der die Hose 12 nach dem Zusammenlegen der beiden Hosenbeine in einen Hosen-Klemmbügel 44 eingespannt und von der Bügelplatte 10 abgenommen wird.A second gripping device 42 is described below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8, with which the trousers 12 are clamped in a trouser clamp 44 after the two trouser legs have been folded and removed from the ironing plate 10.

Die Greifeinrichtung 42 weist einen Tisch 46 auf, auf dem ein Schlitten 48 in Längsrichtung der Bügelplatte 10 verschiebbar ist. Der Schlitten 48 ist als Bügel­spender ausgebildet und dient dazu, den aus einem nicht gezeigten, über der Greifeinrichtung 42 installierten Magazin übernommenen Klemmbügel 44 in geöffneter Stellung dem Saum der Hose 12 zuzuführen.The gripping device 42 has a table 46 on which a slide 48 can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the ironing plate 10. The carriage 48 is designed as a hanger dispenser and serves to feed the clamp hanger 44, taken from a magazine (not shown) installed over the gripping device 42, to the hem of the trousers 12 in the open position.

Der Klemmbügel 44 weist zwei Klemmbacken 50,52 und einen Aufhänger 54 auf, der als hakenförmig gebogener federnder Drahtbügel ausgebildet ist (Figur 5). Der Aufhänger 54 weist zwei Schenkel auf, die sich im Bereich ihrer freien Enden kreuzen und jeweils eine der Klemmbacken 50,52 tragen. Durch die elastische Vorspannung der beiden Schenkel des Aufhängers werden die Klemmbacken 50,52 normalerweise in der geschlossenen Stellung gehalten.The clamping bracket 44 has two clamping jaws 50, 52 and a hanger 54 which is designed as a hook-shaped, resilient wire bracket (FIG. 5). The hanger 54 has two legs that intersect in the region of their free ends and each carry one of the clamping jaws 50, 52. The elastic jaws of the two legs of the hanger make the jaws 50, 52 normally held in the closed position.

Ein Öffnungsmechanismus für den Klemmbügel 44 umfaßt einen auf dem Schlitten 48 angeordneten weiteren Schlitten 56, der in Längsrichtung der Bügelplatte 10 verschiebbar ist und am vorderen Ende eine schrägge­stellte Andruckplatte 58 aufweist, die in der in Figuren 4 und 5 gezeigten Stellung die beiden Schenkel des Aufhängers 54 zusammendrückt und so den Klemmbügel 44 in der geöffneten Stellung hält.An opening mechanism for the clamping bracket 44 comprises a further carriage 56 arranged on the carriage 48, which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the bracket plate 10 and has an inclined pressure plate 58 at the front end, which in the position shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 shows the two legs of the hanger 54 compresses and so holds the clamp 44 in the open position.

Die untere Klemmbacke 52 des Klemmbügels 44 liegt hinter einem Keilstück 60, das am vorderen Ende des Schlittens 48 ausgebildet ist und sich beim Vorschub des Schlittens in der in Figur 5 gezeigten Weise unter die Enden der beiden Hosenbeine 22,24 schiebt, so daß die Klemmbacken 50,52 den Saum der Hosenbeine von entgegengesetzten Seiten her erfassen können.The lower jaw 52 of the clamping bracket 44 lies behind a wedge piece 60 which is formed at the front end of the carriage 48 and, when the carriage is advanced, is pushed under the ends of the two legs 22, 24 in the manner shown in FIG. 5, so that the clamping jaws 50.52 can capture the hem of the pants legs from opposite sides.

Mit Hilfe eines am vorderen Ende des Schlittens 56 an­gebrachten Schließzylinders 62 wird die Klemmbacke 50 gegen die Klemmbacke 52 angedrückt, so daß der Saum der Hose 12 fest eingespannt wird Anschließend fährt der Schlitten 48 zurück, so daß die Hose 12 in Längsrichtung von der Bügelplatte 10 abgezogen wird. Bei Erreichen der in Figur 6 gezeigten Endstellung wird der Schließzylinder 62 inaktiv und der Schlitten 56 fährt allein weiter zurück. Der Klemmbügel 44 wird nunmehr aufgrund der Federwirkung des Aufhängers 54 in der geschlossenen Stellung gehalten. Mit Hilfe eines schwenkbar an dem Schlitten 48 angebrachten, durch Luftzylinder 64 betätigten Hebels 66 wird der Auf­hänger 54 des Kelmmbügels 44 angehoben, wie in Figur 6 gezeigt ist.With the help of a locking cylinder 62 attached to the front end of the slide 56, the clamping jaw 50 is pressed against the clamping jaw 52, so that the hem of the pants 12 is firmly clamped in. Then the slide 48 moves back so that the pants 12 move longitudinally from the ironing plate 10 is subtracted. When the end position shown in FIG. 6 is reached, the locking cylinder 62 becomes inactive and the carriage 56 moves back further alone. The clamping bracket 44 is now held in the closed position due to the spring action of the hanger 54. With the aid of a lever 66 pivotally attached to the slide 48 and actuated by air cylinder 64, the hanger 54 of the bow bracket 44 is raised, as shown in FIG.

Gemäß Figuren 7 und 8 wird der Klemmbügel 44 in der halb aufgerichteten Stellung von einem Greifer 68 erfaßt und längs einer Schiene 70 schräg aufwärts gezogen, bis die Hose 12 schließlich frei an dem Klemmbügel 44 hängt. Der Klemmbügel wird dann von dem Greifer 68 über eine Gleitstange 72 an eine Transportschnecke 74 übergeben, mit der die Hose 12 zur nächsten Bearbeitungsstation, beispielsweise einer Maschine zum Bügeln des Hosenbundes weitertransportiert wird. Der Hebel 66 kehrt unterdessen in seine Ruhestellung zurück, in der er flach auf der Oberfläche des Schlittens 48 aufliegt und zur Aufnahme eines weiteren Klemmbügels 44 aus dem Magazin bereit ist. Nach Aufnahme des neuen Klemmbügels wird der Schlitten 56 wieder in die in Figur 4 gezeigte Stellung bewegt, so daß ein neuer Arbeitszyklus beginnen kann. Sofern mehrere, jeweils mit der in Figuren 1 bis 3 gezeigten Vorrichtung ausgerüstete Bügelmaschinen in Betrieb sind, wird die Greifeinrichtung 42 zuvor in Querrichtung in eine neue Arbeitsposition an einer an­deren Bügelmaschine bewegt.According to Figures 7 and 8, the clamp 44 is in the half erected position is gripped by a gripper 68 and pulled obliquely upwards along a rail 70 until the trousers 12 finally hang freely on the clamping bracket 44. The clamping bracket is then transferred from the gripper 68 via a slide rod 72 to a transport screw 74, with which the pants 12 are transported to the next processing station, for example a machine for ironing the waistband. Meanwhile, the lever 66 returns to its rest position, in which it lies flat on the surface of the carriage 48 and is ready to receive a further clamping bracket 44 from the magazine. After the new clamping bracket has been picked up, the carriage 56 is again moved into the position shown in FIG. 4, so that a new working cycle can begin. If several ironing machines, each equipped with the device shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, are in operation, the gripping device 42 is previously moved in the transverse direction into a new working position on another ironing machine.
