Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an automated machine for gripping two adjacent corners of a flat cloth.
  • a machine is particularly suitable for the work of a laundry after the washing phase and before the finishing phase of the flat linen, phase for which it is necessary to present the flat linen gripped by its corners.
  • the finishing phase consists in engaging the washed and wrung flat linen stretched between two of its adjacent corners in a calendering machine which then entails it to dry it, iron it, and fold it automatically.
  • the document JP-A-63 139863 (which corresponds to EP-A-0 272 368) relates to a system for gripping a linen in which, during a first step, the linen is gripped at any point. Then, in a second step, the laundry is gripped by a first corner previously detected during an upward movement of the laundry; any point entered in the first step is then released so that the laundry hangs from the first corner entered in the second step.
  • the laundry is gripped at a second corner, diagonally opposite the first gripped corner, and detected as the lowest point during an upward movement of the laundry driven by the first corner.
  • a fourth step the laundry is pulled, along a substantially vertical path, by the first corner, which drives, by pulling along the diagonal of the laundry, a clamp clamping the second corner.
  • the present invention overcomes the disadvantages cited above.
  • the method presented makes it possible to grasp two adjacent corners of a flat linen by gripping it successively only in three places, including any zone. It also avoids taking the corner of the flat linen diagonally opposite the first corner and stretching the flat linen between these two corners, thereby reducing the size of the machine.
  • the method presented makes it possible to bring the corners to be grasped always in the same places, which facilitates their gripping.
  • a relative movement of the first corner thus grasped relative to the arbitrary zone for gripping the flat linen is ensured by translation, so that at least one of the two corners adjacent to the first constitutes an apparent low point of the linen dish held by any input area and said first corner; that, in a third step, one grasps said apparent low point, which constitutes a corner adjacent to the first corner, and that, in a fourth step, one releases said entry zone.
  • the flat linen is untangled using a means which shakes it from the gripping and gripping means by which it is suspended.
  • said flat linen is positioned above a separation means, the any gripping area and the first corner of said flat linen being situated on either side of said separation means , and ensuring a relative rise of the separation means with respect to the flat linen between the two apparent low points of said flat linen; the any input zone of said flat linen and the first corner of the flat linen are brought closer, until bringing the apparent low point which, on a small side of the flat linen, is adjacent to the first corner, on a chosen vertical; for gripping a corner consisting of an apparent low point of the flat linen gripped by one or more gripping means, the flat linen is brought to the right of a centering means; moving the gripping means or means away from said centering means, the flat linen being forced to move in line with said centering means; detecting the passage, to the right of said centering means, of the point which, initially, constituted said apparent low point of the flat linen; and then stops the movement of said flat linen to grasp the
  • the invention also relates to a machine for implementing the above-mentioned method.
  • Said machine comprises a gripping means for gripping a flat cloth in any zone, a means for raising said flat cloth after it has been gripped, a detector for signaling the passage from the lowest point of said flat cloth of a predetermined level and a gripping means for gripping the corner of the flat linen formed by said lowest point, means for moving relative to each other the gripping and gripping means and means for gripping a second corner of said adjacent flat linen audit first corner.
  • the machine comprises a means for shaking the flat linen, said means acting on the means for gripping and gripping the arbitrary zone and the corner by which said flat linen is suspended, a guide for separating the two apparent low points of the suspended flat linen , a displacement means for positioning the flat linen suspended above said guide, said guide being substantially parallel to the movement of the gripping and gripping means; for at least one of the stations where a corner is grasped, it comprises a centering means and a displacement means forcing the flat linen to move in line with said centering means and at least one detector for signaling the presence of the flat linen to the right of said detector, a suction ramp and an air blowing nozzle, the relative position of the ramp and the nozzle being modifiable to bring the ramp opposite the nozzle when the corner is grasping has been detected, a detector for detecting the presence of the wedge on the suction ramp and means for bringing said suction ramp in line with said detector; it also includes conveyor rails, conveyor clamps comprising a gripping means, each conveyor clamp moving on one of said rail
  • the machine comprises a suction cup (4) in which a depression is created for gripping by suction a flat cloth in a carriage (1) which contains several flat cloths. Then, an arm (3) integral with the suction cup (4) and moving in a vertical translation relative to a stationary frame (2) raises the flat linen thus seized up to a fixed height greater than the length of the diagonal of the flat linen.
  • a rail (6) horizontal and straight over a distance greater than the length of the diagonal of a flat linen from the frame (2).
  • Two identical longitudinal plates (7) and (8) having a common edge parallel to their axes, their outer edges forming a notch at one of their ends relative to the common inner edge, and whose section in a vertical plane perpendicular to their axis form a "V" are arranged parallel to the rail (6), at a height slightly lower than this rail (6), the notches being turned towards the suction cup, so that the suction cup is in the same vertical plane as their common edge, at a distance from the vertical ascent of the suction cup such that the suction cup can rise in the notch of the two plates without hanging them.
  • the two plates can pivot simultaneously around the outer edge of the plate (8) which is closest to the rail (6).
  • a detector (9) is placed vertically above the notch, slightly below it to detect the presence of the flat linen.
  • a horizontal suction ramp (10) is placed in the vertical plane formed by the vertical passing through the notch and the common edge of the two plates, between the detector and the notch; a blowing nozzle (11) is placed in the horizontal plane of the ramp (10), this nozzle being articulated on a pivot integral with the ramp (10), so that in the open position, the nozzle (11) makes a 90 ° angel with the ramp and in the closed position, the nozzle and the ramp form a clamp closing on the vertical of the notch.
  • a clamp (5) circulating on the rail (6) grips the flat laundry below the suction cup and the vacuum inside the suction cup (4) is removed.
  • the clamp (5) moves away from the suction cup on the rail (6), the flat linen lying on the plates (7) and (8); the passage from the bottom point of the flat linen, which constitutes a corner, is detected using the detector.
  • the advance of the clamp (5) is stopped on the rail (6) and the nozzle (11) is brought opposite the ramp (10).
  • the nozzle moves to the open position, the two plates (7) and (8) pivot down, thereby releasing the flat linen carried by the clamps (5) and (12) on their respective rail (6) and (13) .
  • the rail (13) is subjected to a torsion of 180 ° relative to its axis.
  • the rail (13) becomes parallel to the rail (6) on a portion (28) of the order of one meter.
  • the two rail portions (29) and (26) come together at a distance of a few tens of centimeters and the rails (6) and (13) become parallel again on their portions (30) and (27).
  • a separation guide (14) symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane perpendicular to the direction of movement of the flat linen; the distance from this plane to the rail (6) being of the order of fifty centimeters.
  • This guide is formed of two symmetrical left plates and joined in their upper edges located in the vertical plane of symmetry; at the beginning of the guide, the upper edge of the two plates and located at a vertical distance from the rail (6) greater than a small side of flat laundry to approach vertically from the rail (6) while remaining below, the lower edge merging at the start of the guide with the upper edge then moving away from the vertical plane of symmetry while remaining horizontal, following a concave curve, and the first part of the guide describing a concave surface between the two edges.
  • the second part of the guide is located between the portions (29) and (26) of the rails (6) and (13), the upper edge of the plates remaining horizontal in the vertical plane of symmetry, the lower edge remaining in one plane.
  • the plates ((17), (18)) are placed parallel to the rails (6) and (13) on either side of the rail (6) so that the outer edge of the plate (17), located between the of them rails (6) and (13), either in the extension of the upper edge of the guide (14), the notch of the two plates ((17), (18)) being on the side of the guide. These two plates ((17), (18)) can pivot around the outer edge of the plate (17).
  • a detector (19) is placed on a support (20) vertical to the notch of the plates ((15), (16)), slightly below the latter to detect the presence of the flat linen.
  • a suction ramp (21) is placed, integral with the support (20), horizontal in the vertical plane formed by the vertical passing through the notch of the plates ((15), (16)) and the common edge of the two plates (( 15), (16)), between the detector (19) and the notch; a blower nozzle (22) is placed in the horizontal plane of the ramp (21), this nozzle being articulated on a pivot integral with the ramp (21), so that in the open position, the nozzle (22) makes a 90 ° angle with the ramp (21) and that in the closed position, the nozzle and the ramp form a clamp closing on the vertical of the notch.
  • the support (20) can move on a rail (23) fixed to the ground perpendicular to the axes of the plates ((15), (16)), so that the detector (19) is located, after a chosen translation, vertical to the notch of the plates ((17), (18)).
  • a horizontal rail (25) is placed slightly below the ramp (21), perpendicular to the axes of the plates ((15), (16)) and ((17), (18)).
  • the two clamps (5) and (12) are advanced on their respective rails, the clamp (12) undergoes a 180 ° reversal which positions it under the rail (13) then the two clamps being separated by about a half diagonal of flat linen, this forms two apparent low points that the guide (14) separates.
  • the clamps (5) and (12) then advance, leaving the flat laundry to drag on the plates ((15), (16)) and ((17), (18)); depending on whether you want to grasp the long side or the short side of the flat linen, by moving the support (20), you will place the detector (19), the ramp (21) and the nozzle (22) respectively below the plates ((15), (16)) or below the plates ((17), (18)).
  • the detector (19) then detects the passage from the low point that we want to capture and we stop both simultaneously pliers; the nozzle (22) is brought opposite the ramp (21), thus grasping the corner of the hanging sheet.
  • the clamp (5) then releases the flat linen and the two clamps (12) and (24) entrain the flat linen on their respective rails, the two corners are then ready to be engaged.
  • FIG. 2 represents several flat cloths at different stages of the general treatment.
  • the flat linen (31) is located at the station where it is grasped at any point by means of a suction cup.
  • the flat linen (33) illustrates the appearance of two low points when the clamps (5) and (12) are in the separated position on their respective rails.
  • the flat linen (34) passes over the guide (14), which separates the two visible low points of the flat linen.
