  • the invention relates more particularly to machines where the sheets are introduced by their small side without seeking the corners of the room.
  • the current workstations of these machines consist of a non-motorized belt conveyor 1 in support of its own weight on 2.
  • the conveyor 1 is hinged at the rear so that the operator can raise it to recover the item that he had incorrectly introduced.
  • the operator grasps the piece of laundry, locates the short side of this piece of laundry and introduces it between the conveyor 1 and the conveyor 2.
  • the piece is held between the two conveyors by the pressure force exerted by the weight of the conveyor 1.
  • the operator can, in the case where the conveyor 2 is not free, introduce the product between the conveyors 1 and 3. This allows him to prepare the following article.
  • the conveyor 2 starts, the piece of laundry is spread out and then transferred by the transfer means 14.
  • the transfer is made perpendicular to the direction of delivery. spreading of the conveyor 2 and on the conveyor 15.
  • the part is then grasped and transferred by the means 16, as shown in FIG. figure 4 .
  • This means 16 transfers the article from its horizontal position to a vertical position in which the article is in free fall in its part located after the transfer means 16.
  • the transfer means 16 consists of a motorized roller 23 and two small rollers 24 and 25 free in rotation placed on the motorized roller 23 and rotated by friction on the same roller 23.
  • the transversally displaceable carriages 7 and 9, equipped respectively with the clamps 8 and 10 go against the article and follow it in its fall without ever disturbing the movement of the article. article by means of detection means 17, 18, 19 embedded on the carriage 7 and the means 20, 21, 22 embedded on the carriage 9.
  • the carriage 7 and the carriage 9 are connected to their belt by a fixing means.
  • the detection means 26 on board the truck 7 is released giving the end information of the piece for the side of the article located on the side of the carriage 7 relative to the axis of the passageway 5.
  • the on-board detection means 27 on the carriage 9 is released giving the end information of the part for the side of the article located on the side of the carriage 9 with respect to the axis of the passageway 5.
  • the detection means 26 and 27 respectively give the information of end of passage of the article respectively for the left part of the article and the right part of the article with respect to the direction of advancement of the article in the article. passageway 5. This information makes it possible to trigger the closure of the clamp 8 and the clamp 10 on board the carriage 7 and the carriage 9.
  • the closure information associated with a delayed delay adjustable by the electronic management system allow optimize gripping so that the gripper 8 and the gripper 10 grip the article by its rear corners.
  • the entry of the rear corners makes it possible to correct the defects of orientation of the part with respect to the input means 12. This correction is essential to ensure good quality of the drying, folding and stacking treatments which will be applied to the piece more far.
  • the part gripped by the clamps 8 and 10 is then stretched and centered with respect to the axis of the passageway 5.
  • a means 29 for deflecting the part can be used to improve the quality of removal of parts.
  • This means can be composed of rotating brushes associated with a box where the part is swallowed by an air suction system.
  • the gripping means 12 constituted by a rule extending over the entire width of the machine, and which was in the waiting position, is actuated forwards and then stopped in a position where the front part of the gripping means 12 is tangent to the piece.
  • This transfer means may, for example, consist of a tube plugged at its ends, comprising a series of small openings spaced regularly over the entire length of the tube and located on a generatrix of the tube located on the side of the part to be transferred and having a supply of pressurized air.
  • the transfer is obtained by injecting pressurized air over a short period of time into the tube of the transfer means 28 and via a solenoid valve. By escaping through the orifices made on the generatrix of the tube, the air quickly propels the part in a direction adjustable by the orientation of the tube.
  • the piece falls against the gripping means 12 which comprises an air suction means and orifices arranged so as to firmly hold the plated part over its entire length.
  • the gripping means 12 which was in the forward position is actuated towards the rear.
  • the gripping means 12 takes the coin and spreads it on the conveyor 13.
  • the air suction means which equips the gripping means 12 is deactivated before the end of the stroke of the gripping means 12 in order to release the coin and deposit it on the conveyor 13.
  • the conveyor 13 starts and carries the coin up to the next treatment.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device for increasing the operating rate of the machine by reducing the distance between two successive parts. Another object is to prevent the parts that are transferred from having folded corners and are therefore perfectly flat.
  • the device it concerns, comprising a conveyor for supplying parts and a second conveyor on which the parts are spread, the transfer means comprising between the supply conveyor and the second conveyor a vertical passageway in which each piece is successively brought into vertical position and gripped by its two angles situated downstream in the direction of movement, by two clamps displaceable on a beam oriented transversely to the conveyors, a blowing ramp located on the conveyor side with respect to the plane vertical in which the piece of fabric is located and whose nozzles are directed towards the conveyor, a gripping part of the piece, for example in the form of a rule provided with suction means, located on the conveyor side and above this one, movable longitudinally Conveyor between an advanced position of gripping of the textile piece and a retracted position of deposition of the piece on the conveyor, is characterized in that it comprises, facing the gripping means of the piece, a fixed stop located on the same side the vertical plane of the workpiece that the supply conveyor, and against which the gripping means comes to bear during the opening phases of
  • the fixed stop is coated with a strip of elastic material, in the bearing zone of the gripping means.
  • the piece of fabric is thus sandwiched between the gripping means and the mechanical stop which eliminates the risk of falling to the extent that this sandwich is held firmly during the transfer.
  • the band of elastic material makes it possible to compensate geometrical defects and in particular of alignment between the gripping means and the stop. The part thus held can be transferred in good conditions and without distorting the correction of the orientation defects of the workpiece relative to the input means, previously performed by taking the corners of the workpiece by the clamps.
  • each gripper gripping an angle of the textile part, or the support of each gripper is equipped with a deflector for deflecting the flow of air blown by the nozzles of the ramp disposed in the areas of the room near the corners thereof, to prevent these areas are subjected to the flow of air under pressure.
  • the baffles therefore prevent the areas near the corners of the room are returned or that the room wrinkles in these areas during the transfer on the output conveyor.
  • this device insofar as it comprises a deflashing system disposed below the conveyor and which exerts a vacuum, it is equipped with means for preventing a piece from the supply conveyor. and arriving in the vertical passageway is sucked into the deflashing system.
  • this device comprises a tube supplied with pressurized air located on the same side of the vertical passageway as the supply conveyor, and facing the inlet of the wrinkle system having radial orifices distributed along the length of the tube and opening on the side where the part must be drawn, that is to say on the opposite side to the clipping system.
  • the device according to the invention is integrated in a laundry machine as described in the Figures 1 to 4 .
  • the same elements are designated by the same references as before.
  • the device comprises a mechanical stop 32 disposed opposite the rule 12 forming gripping means of the piece of fabric.
  • This stop 32 is located, with respect to the vertical passageway of the transfer device, on the same side as the supply conveyor 15.
  • the piece of fabric prior to the opening of the tongs 8, 10 is sandwiched between the ruler 12 and the stop 32 and held firmly during the transfer.
  • a strip of flexible material 35 located at the point of contact with the rule, is glued over the entire length of the stop 32. tissue thus maintained can be transferred in good conditions and without distorting the correction of the orientation defects of the piece that has been performed previously by the capture of the corners by the clamps 8 and 10.
  • a deflector 33 is embedded on the clamp 8
  • a symmetrical deflector 34 is embedded on the clamp 10. These deflectors allow to remove the applying the blowing from the tube 28 to the areas near the corners of the piece of fabric.
  • These baffles 33 and 34 being embedded on the clamps 8 and 10 or on the support carriages thereof, it is thus avoided to apply blowing in the areas of the article near the corners, regardless of the size of the piece transferred.
  • the device shown in the drawing comprises a deflashing system 29 exerting a depression on the fabric when it is brought into the vertical space of the transfer device.
  • the falling piece is moved away from the deflashing system 29 by a remote action means 30.
  • This remote action means is, in the embodiment shown in the drawing, constituted by a tube 30 plugged at its ends, but having orifices oriented in the direction in which the piece is to be drawn.
  • the tube has a supply of pressurized air.
  • the spacing action of the deflashing system 29 is obtained by injecting, for the time necessary for this removal, air under pressure in the tube 30. This is a Venturi action.
  • the orientation and the speed of the air jet create a vacuum which acts on the workpiece and attracts it in the opposite direction to the de-scrubbing system 29.
  • the Venturi effect is reinforced by the presence of a wall 32 serving as a deflector which directs the air downwards and prevents it from disturbing the behavior of the pieces of fabric downstream in the operating cycle of the machine.
