Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiges Verfahren ist z.B. aus der Druckschrift DE-A-37 33 715 bereits bekannt.Such a method is e.g. already known from the document DE-A-37 33 715.

Vor dem Anbieten und Verkaufen von Bekleidungsstücken ist ein Bügeln der Ware zur gefälligen optischen Präsentation unumgänglich. Bei Oberbekleidungsstücken mit Ärmeln wird die Ware auf Bügelbüsten von oben her aufgezogen, die von innen her eine Dampfzuführung aufweisen, die aufgrund entsprechender Durchlässigkeit der Büste die Bekleidungsstücke von der Innenseite her beaufschlagen.Before offering and selling clothing, ironing the goods for a pleasing visual presentation is essential. In the case of outer garments with sleeves, the goods are pulled up from the top of ironing busts which have a steam supply from the inside and which act on the inside of the clothing due to the permeability of the bust.

Auf diese Weise gelangt die Ware in einen für den Verkauf akzeptablen und ästhetisch ansprechenden Zustand.In this way, the goods are in an acceptable and aesthetically pleasing condition for sale.

Als entscheidender Nachteil ist anzusehen, daß im Stande der Technik das Aufziehen der Ware auf die Büste, das endseitige Verschließen der Ärmel sowie der Start des eigentlichen Bügelvorganges durch eine Bedienungsperson manuell erfolgt.A decisive disadvantage is that, in the prior art, the goods are pulled onto the bust, the sleeves are closed at the ends and the actual ironing process is started manually by an operator.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren eingangs genannter Art anzugeben, das keiner Bedienungsperson bedarf.The object of the invention is to provide a method of the type mentioned which does not require an operator.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 angegeben.The solution to this problem is specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Der Kerngedanke der Erfindung besteht in einem maschinellen Aufziehen des Bekleidungsstückes auf die Bügelbüste. Hierzu ist ein Öffnen des Bekleidungsstückes von der Unterseite her erforderlich, so daß die Büste eingeführt werden kann. Dieses Ziel wird in der nachfolgend beschriebenen Weise erreicht:
Zunächst wird zu diesem Zweck das an einem Tragebügel hängende Bekleidungsstück soweit abgesenkt, daß jeweils an der Vorder- und Rückseite von außen her eine Greifvorrichtung angreift. Nachdem der Stoff erfaßt ist, wird durch eine Bewegung der beiden Greifvorrichtungen nach außen das Bekleidungsstück an der Unterseite geöffnet. Durch ein weiteres Absenken werden die vertikal darunter angeordneten Bügel eingefädelt. Sie liegen nahe beieinander und erzeugen durch eine Bewegung nach außen ein Aufspreizen der Unterseite des Bekleidungsstückes. Dabei hat die Greifvorrichtung bereits gelöst. Nunmehr fährt die Büste von der Unterseite ein, bewegt sich mit dem Bekleidungsstück in synchroner Bewegung soweit nach oben weg, daß die Bügel freigesetzt und zurückgezogen werden können, um anschließend - ebenfalls in synchroner Bewegung von Büste und Bekleidungsstück - in die untere Arbeitsposition abzusenken. Dort werden die Ärmel auf maschinellem Wege nach außen gelegt. Nun wird der eigentliche Bügelvorgang durch Beaufschlagung mit Dampf gestartet.The main idea of the invention is to mechanically pull the garment onto the temple bust. This requires opening the item of clothing from the bottom so that the bust can be inserted. This goal is achieved in the following way:
For this purpose, the garment hanging on a carrying handle is lowered so far that a gripping device acts on the front and rear from the outside. After the fabric has been gripped, a movement of the two gripping devices outwards opens the item of clothing on the underside. The brackets arranged vertically below are threaded in by further lowering. They are close together and, by moving outwards, spread the underside of the item of clothing. The gripping device has already been released. Now the bust moves in from the underside, moves upwards with the item of clothing in a synchronous movement to such an extent that the brackets can be released and retracted, in order to then - also in synchronous movement of the bust and item of clothing - lower into the lower working position. There, the sleeves are mechanically placed on the outside. Now the actual ironing process is started by applying steam.

Die soeben beschriebenen Arbeitsphasen werden durch entsprechende Schalter gesteuert, also gestartet bzw. beendet, so daß der Bügelvorgang ohne Eingriff von außen vollautomatisch abläuft. Hierin ist der entscheidende Vorteil, nämlich die Einsparung einer Bedienungsperson zu sehen.The work phases just described are controlled by appropriate switches, that is, started or ended, so that the ironing process takes place fully automatically without outside intervention. This is the decisive advantage, namely the saving of an operator.

Für die konkrete Ausgestaltung der in die Öffnung der Unterseite des Bekleidungsstückes zu Zwecken der Einführung der Büste einzubringenden Bügel werden durch die Erfindung zwei Alternativen vorgeschlagen. Die eine besteht darin, daß zwei Bügel eingesetzt werden, die jeweils als mit ihren Schenkeln nach unten zu weisendes "U" geformt sind, die bei der auseinander orientierten Relativbewegung zum Spannen des Bekleidungsstückes ein Rechteck erzeugen, dessen eine Seitenlänge dem Abstand der Schenkel des Bügels entspricht. Die beiden Bügel werden, nachdem sie in geringsten Abstand zueinander in das Oberbekleidungsstück eingeführt wurden, zum Spannen des Bekleidungsstückes auseinander bewegt. Um die in ihrer Form dem Bekleidungsstück nachempfundene Büste problemlos einführen zu können, erfolgt die Bewegung in Richtung auf die Ärmel. Es bildet sich dann eine Öffnung aus, deren Querschnitt etwa dem der Büste entspricht.For the specific design of the brackets to be inserted into the opening of the underside of the garment for the purpose of introducing the bust proposed two alternatives by the invention. One is that two brackets are used, each of which is shaped as a "U" with its legs pointing downwards, which, when the relative movement is oriented to tension the garment, produce a rectangle, one side length of which is the distance between the legs of the bracket corresponds. After they have been inserted into the outer garment at the slightest distance from one another, the two brackets are moved apart to tension the garment. In order to be able to easily insert the bust modeled after the item of clothing, the movement is carried out in the direction of the sleeves. An opening is then formed, the cross section of which corresponds approximately to that of the bust.

Eine Alternative hierzu besteht in der Verwendung von vier vertikalen Stiften, die nach dem Einführen in etwa sternförmig nach außen bewegt werden. Die einzelnen Stäbe bilden dann jeweils den Eckpunkt.An alternative to this is to use four vertical pins that are moved outward in an approximately star shape after insertion. The individual bars then form the corner point.

Im Hinblick auf die Greifvorrichtung sind ebenfalls mehrere Realisierungsmöglichkeiten denkbar. Voraussetzung ist, daß die Bekleidungsstücke an der Vorder- und Rückseite erfaßt und auseinandergezogen werden, ohne daß nach dem Freigeben Schäden zurückbleiben. Empfohlen wird die Verwendung einer Ansaugvorrichtung, die durch Vakuumbeaufschlagung mit dem Stoff des Bekleidungsstückes in Kontakt tritt. Alternativen sind Nadel- oder Klebgreifer.With regard to the gripping device, several implementation options are also conceivable. The prerequisite is that the clothing on the front and back are gripped and pulled apart without leaving any damage after being released. It is recommended to use a suction device that comes into contact with the fabric of the item of clothing by vacuum. Alternatives are needle or adhesive grippers.

Zur Vermeidung von Energieverlusten und zum Erhalt eines optimalen ästhetischen Aussehens werden bereits im Stande der Technik die Ärmel durch Anbringen von Klemmen manuell verschlossen. Der einströmende Dampf bewirkt dann, daß sich das Bekleidungsstück aufbläht und in seine beim Tragen entstehende Form übergeht. Gleichzeitig wird das Bekleidungsstück während des Bügelvorgangs über seinen Saum auf der Büste fixiert, um es beim Dämpfen und Trocknen festzuhalten.In order to avoid energy losses and to maintain an optimal aesthetic appearance, the sleeves are already closed manually by attaching clamps in the prior art. The inflowing steam then causes the garment to inflate and change to the shape it was in when worn. At the same time, the garment is fixed to the bust via its hem during the ironing process in order to hold it in place when steaming and drying.

Beim automatischen Beschicken der Büste besteht keine Kontrolle über die Lage der Ärmel. Um auszuschließen, daß beim Fixieren des Saumes, beispielsweise mit Hilfe einer Andruckleiste, die Ärmel eingeklemmt werden, ist die Anbringung eines Drehbügels von Vorteil, der von innen her - sofern ein Ärmel sich in büstennaher Lage befindet - am Ärmel angreift und ihn durch Drehbewegung in eine Position bringt, in der er beim Fixieren des Saumes nicht hinderlich ist.When the bust is loaded automatically, there is no control over the position of the sleeves. To rule out that when fixing the hem, for example with the help of a pressure bar, the sleeves are pinched, the attachment of a swivel bracket is advantageous, which from the inside - if a sleeve is close to the bust - engages the sleeve and rotates it into brings a position in which it is not a hindrance when fixing the hem.

Für die einzelnen Schaltvorgänge und zur Einleitung und Beendigung der einzelnen Arbeitsphasen empfiehlt sich die Verwendung von Lichtschranken oder Näherungsschalter. Sie lassen die Ermittlung der jeweiligen Position des auf- oder abwärts sich bewegenden Bekleidungsstückes zu.The use of light barriers or proximity switches is recommended for the individual switching processes and for initiating and ending the individual work phases. They allow the determination of the respective position of the item of clothing moving up or down.

Figur 1 gibt jenen Teil des erfindungsgemäßen Bügelautomaten wieder, der die Bügel (1) zeigt, die mit ihren Schenkeln nach unten zu weisen und von U-Form sind. Entsprechend der jeweils seitlich davon eingezeichneten und nach außen weisenden Pfeile sind die Bügel (1) relativ auseinander bewegbar, um das (hier nicht gezeigte) Bekleidungsstück zu spannen. Weiter ist eine als Ansaugvorrichtung ausgebildete Greifvorrichtung (2) eingezeichnet, die aus zwei einzelnen Elementen besteht, die entlang des Rahmens in horizontaler Richtung relativ gegeneinander bewegbar sind. Sie stehen mit Schläuchen (3) in Verbindung, die mit Hilfe einer hier nicht gezeigten Pumpe den Unterdruck zum Ansaugen des Bekleidungsstückes in der Greifvorrichtung (2) erzeugen. Sowohl die Greifvorrichtung (2) als auch die Bügel (1) werden über jeweils zugeordnete Kolben-Zylinder-Anordnungen (4) bewegt. Die Verschiebung erfolgt entlang eines als Führung dienenden Rahmengestelles (5).FIG. 1 shows that part of the automatic ironing machine according to the invention which shows the stirrups (1) which have their legs pointing downwards and are of U-shape. According to the arrows drawn to the side and pointing outwards, the brackets (1) can be moved relatively apart in order to tension the item of clothing (not shown here). Furthermore, a gripping device (2) designed as a suction device is shown, which consists of two individual elements which can be moved relative to one another along the frame in the horizontal direction. They are connected to hoses (3), which use a pump (not shown here) to generate the negative pressure for sucking the item of clothing into the gripping device (2). Both the gripping device (2) and the bracket (1) are moved by means of respectively assigned piston-cylinder arrangements (4). The displacement takes place along a frame (5) serving as a guide.

Aus Figur 2 läßt sich ein an einem Tragebügel (6) hängendes Bekleidungsstück (7) erkennen, das an einem horizontalen Arm (8) hängend, über eine Hebevorrichtung (9) in vertikaler Richtung bewegbar ist.
Unterhalb des Bekleidungsstückes (7) sind horizontal arbeitende Lichtschranken (10, 11) zur Steuerung der Auf- und Abwärtsbewegung angebracht. Deren Aufgabe besteht darin, das Absenken des Bekleidungsstückes (7) bis zu einer bestimmten Höhe zu erfaßen, neue Steuerimpulse auszulösen und den Beschickungsvorgang fortzusetzen.
Unterhalb des Bekleidungsstückes (7) befinden sich die nach oben weisenden und bei Öffnen des Bekleidungsstückes von unten her angreifenden Bügel (1).FIG. 2 shows a piece of clothing (7) hanging on a carrying handle (6), which is hanging on a horizontal arm (8) and can be moved in the vertical direction by means of a lifting device (9).
Below the item of clothing (7) there are horizontally operating light barriers (10, 11) for controlling the upward and downward movement. Their task is to detect the lowering of the item of clothing (7) up to a certain height, to trigger new control impulses and to continue the loading process.
Below the item of clothing (7) are the upward-facing brackets (1) which engage when the item of clothing is opened from below.

In Figur 3 schließlich ist die räumliche Zuordnung der Bügelbüste (12) zu den Bügeln (1) zu erkennen. Letztere sind in horizontaler Richtung und dabei in das hier nicht gezeigte Bekleidungsstück eingreifend auseinandergezogen, so daß auf der Unterseite ein etwa rechteckförmiger Zugang entsteht, der so bemessen ist, daß die Bügelbüste (12) über eine zugehörige Kolben-Zylinder-Anordnung (13) in vertikaler Richtung einbringbar ist. Die Bügelbüste (12) ist mit der zugehörigen Bewegungsmechanik in einem Standfuß (14) befestigt.Finally, FIG. 3 shows the spatial assignment of the temple bust (12) to the temple (1). The latter are pulled apart in the horizontal direction and thereby engaging in the garment, not shown here, so that an approximately rectangular access is created on the underside, which is dimensioned such that the bow bust (12) via an associated piston-cylinder arrangement (13) in vertical direction can be introduced. The bracket bust (12) is fastened with the associated movement mechanism in a base (14).

Seitlich sind Andruckleisten (15) angeordnet, durch die das jeweils außenseitig befindliche Ende des (hier nicht gezeigten) Saumes des Bekleidungsstükkes erfaßt und fixiert wird. Zu diesem Zweck besteht die Andruckleiste (15) aus einem über einen Zylinder betätigten Stempel (16) mit einem mit dieser zusammenarbeitenden Gegenfläche (17).Pressure strips (15) are arranged on the side, through which the respective outer end of the (Not shown here) hem of the garment is detected and fixed. For this purpose, the pressure bar (15) consists of a stamp (16) actuated by a cylinder with a counter surface (17) cooperating therewith.

Aus der Gesamtheit der vorbeschriebenen und jeweils einzelne Elemente wiedergebenden Figuren läßt sich der grundsätzliche Aufbau des erfindungsgemäßen Bügelautomaten in der Zusammenschau problemlos erkennen.From the entirety of the figures described above and each depicting individual elements, the basic structure of the automatic ironing machine according to the invention can easily be seen when viewed together.

Im Ergebnis erhält man einen Bügelautomaten, der erstmalig ein vollautomatisches Beschicken (und selbstverständlich auch Entfernen) der einzelnen zu bügelnden Bekleidungsstücke erlaubt.The result is an automatic ironing machine that for the first time allows fully automatic loading (and of course also removal) of the individual items of clothing to be ironed.
