Definitions

  • the present invention relates to ironing machines and in particular, but not exclusively to a feed mechanism and method for such ironing machines.
  • Some such prior art apparatus comprise in general terms a heated main cylinder, having several small cylinders and textile belts that convey fabric workpieces across and in contact with the heated main cylinder.
  • a heating system for heating of the main cylinder may be provided by a variety of means, such as electrical elements, gas, steam or heated fluid oil.
  • the heating system keeps the cylinder at an optimal temperature set by the operator according to the type of linen.
  • a preferred situation is to keep the main cylinder and the ironing process at a stable temperature. The efficiency of ironing depends on a combination of cylinder temperature, ironing pressure and the transportation speed of the fabric across the surface of the heated main cylinder.
  • the fabric workpiece is inserted in the middle of the ironer by an introduction system that consists of two clamps in which the operator clamps the workpiece.
  • an introduction system that consists of two clamps in which the operator clamps the workpiece.
  • the workpiece is stretched by means of a pneumatic cylinder which moves a cable on which the clamps are permanently fixed.
  • Entangled fabrics workpiece is disentangled by means of brushes, for example as described in US-3736678, which push each end of the workpiece to an appropriate side of the ironer.
  • the brushes cause the following problems :
  • a classical introduction system works in a way that a fabric workpiece 6 is put by an operator in clamps 13 and 14.
  • the clamps 13, 14 are fixed to a rope 15 which itself is fixed to jack 32 of pneumatic cylinder 23.
  • the pneumatic cylinder 23 moves and stretches the fabric workpiece 6. While the fabric 6 is stretched, the brushes 24 start rotating in order to disentangle the fabric 6. This latter has the negative effect that the fabric 6 is introduced always in the middle of the machine which results in overheating of the heated main cylinder on those places were the fabric 6 never passes.
  • An ironing machine is provided with a feeding mechanism which allows the introduction of the fabric workpieces in a sequential way. This has the advantage that the ironing means is kept at a substantially homogeneous temperature, by which a substantially constant ironing quality is assured.
  • An ironing machine has an ironing means, for example but not limited thereto a heated cylinder, with a width.
  • the ironing means comprises an inlet for receipt of laundry workpieces and a feed means arranged in use to feed a said workpiece into said inlet.
  • the ironing machine further comprises sensing means connected to a control means for measurement of a value related to a temperature of the ironing means.
  • the sensing means are arranged in use to supply to the control means a signal indicative of a temperature distribution in the ironing means.
  • the control means are arranged in use to control at least one operating parameter of the ironing machine in response to the signal from the sensing means, said at least one parameter including the location of introduction of the workpieces with respect to the width of the ironing means.
  • the at least one parameter may furthermore include an ironing temperature.
  • a system for changing the location of introduction of the workpiece in the ironing machine may furthermore be provided.
  • This system for changing the location of introduction of the workpiece may comprise a first clamp and a second clamp for clamping the workpiece, and a movement system onto which these clamps are fixed for moving them with respect to the width of the ironing means before introduction of the workpiece in the ironing machine.
  • This movement system may comprise a flexible line such as a wire or rope, to which the first clamp is releasably connected by releasable fastening means, such as a coil for example, and to which the second clamp is continuously connected.
  • the control means may send, in response to the signal of the sensing means, a control signal to a gearbox for changing the location of introduction of the workpiece with respect to the ironing means, or thus for driving the system for changing the location of introduction of the workpiece, more particularly the movement system thereof.
  • a torque limiter may be mounted on the gearbox.
  • the ironing machine may furthermore comprise a width measuring device for measuring the width of the workpiece.
  • the width measuring device may for example comprise a rotation encoder which sends out a signal relating to a distance travelled. Other width measuring devices can be used as well.
  • the ironing machine is provided with a retractable, rounded table at the inlet thereof. This table aids in nicely stretching the workpiece.
  • the present invention also provides a method of controlling an ironing machine having an ironing means with a width.
  • the method includes:
  • the method may furthermore comprise controlling ironing temperature and/or measuring the width of a workpiece.
  • the present invention also provides a control means for an ironing machine.
  • This control means is arranged in use to control at least one operating parameter of the ironing machine in dependence on one or more signals from sensing means, of which a signal is indicative of the temperature distribution of at least part of the ironing means.
  • the at least one parameter which is to be controlled by the control means includes the location of introduction of the workpieces with respect to the ironing means.
  • the control means may furthermore be arranged in use to control ironing temperature and/or a distance over which a workpiece is moved.
  • an ironing machine 100 comprises an outer casing 10 that houses an ironing means, the ironing means being expressed in one embodiment in the form of an ironing cylinder 3 provided with a heating system 4 to keep the ironing cylinder 3 at a specific and preferably predetermined temperature.
  • the heating system 4 may take a variety of forms, e.g. electrical, gas, steam or heated fluid oil heating. The heating system is not considered to be a limitation on the present invention.
  • the cylinder 3 is adapted for rotation, and may be driven for rotation by a suitable motor, e.g. a variable speed motor and transmission (not represented in the drawings).
  • the active heating surface that heats the fabric workpiece 6 is preferably about 3/4 of the total surface of the heating cylinder 3.
  • An inlet means is provided which may comprise an entry table 2.
  • the inlet means presents a fabric workpiece 6 to a feed means.
  • a feed means may be provided in the form of a pressure cylinder 8, which rests substantially parallel to and on or in the neighbourhood of the ironing cylinder 3.
  • Such a feed means may be arranged in use to feed the fabric workpiece 6 into the ironing machine 100 and to drive it through the machine 100 from the inlet to an outlet and to keep it in contact with the ironing cylinder 3.
  • the pressure cylinder 8 may be part of the inlet of the ironing means 3 and may co-operate with one or a plurality of continuous/endless textile belts 5 which are trained around the pressure cylinder 8 and around a series of belt cylinders 7.
  • the belts 5 are trapped between cylinders 3, 7 and 8 in such a way that movement is imparted to the belts 5 and they feed a fabric workpiece 6 into the machine 100 and drive it through, keeping the fabric 6 in contact with the heating cylinder 3.
  • the feed means is adapted to return the fabric workpiece 6, e.g. via an outlet comprising an exit table roller 9, to an exit table 11 where an operator can fetch it in an ironed condition.
  • a control unit may be provided for controlling the operation of the complete machine or the control unit may be split up into one or more controllers, each controller carrying out specific control functions, e.g. temperature, movement control.
  • the control unit may make use of any suitable control method, e.g. mechanical, electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic although an electronic control system using microcontrollers or similar, e.g. a PLC, is preferred.
  • the operation of the ironing is essentially as follows: once an ironing temperature has been achieved at the surface of the heated ironing cylinder 3 that is suitable for the type of fabric 6 (e.g. cotton, linen, synthetics) to be ironed, the fabrics work piece 6 is put on the top fabrics holder 33.
  • the top fabrics holder 33 acts as an input of the machine 100 and is used for receipt of fabric workpieces 6 upstream of the ironing cylinder 3.
  • An operator then moves the fabrics 1 to the transportation belts 34 and initiates a machine ironing cycle, e.g. by means of a user device such as a pedal or button 22. Initiating an ironing cycle starts the turning of the belts 5 and cylinders 7.
  • Body part protection such as finger protection (not represented in the drawings) may be provided to protect an operator from injury, and is then adapted to put the drive motor in reverse if something goes wrong at the entry table 2, e.g. if an operator body part passes beyond a finger protection trip switch.
  • Body part protection therefore comprises a sensor suitable for sensing a body part passing beyond a finger protection trip switch, which sensor sends a corresponding signal to the control unit. The control unit then sends, in response to the signal received from the sensor, an appropriate signal to the drive motor of the ironing cylinder 3 for driving the ironing cylinder 3 in reverse.
  • the fabrics 6 will be folded automatically when leaving the exit table 11.
  • the cylinder 3 is provided with sensing means 40 for direct in situ measurement of a value related to a temperature or to a temperature distribution over the surface of the cylinder 3, e.g. temperature sensors are provided at a plurality of places on the surface of the cylinder 3, distributed over its width.
  • the sensing means 40 are connected to a controller 50 which may be part of the control unit.
  • the sensing means 40 are arranged in use to supply to the controller 50 a signal indicative of the temperature distribution at the surface of the cylinder 3.
  • the controller 50 is arranged in use to control at least one operating parameter of the ironing machine 100 in response to said signal.
  • the arrangement of the present invention preferably detects a temperature distribution of the surface of the cylinder 3 itself, thus taking a substantially direct measurement thereof, rather than taking a measurement in the neighbourhood.
  • the sensing means 40 may be located anywhere near, adjacent or abutting the surface of the cylinder 3.
  • the at least one operating parameter controlled by the controller 50 includes the introduction position of the fabric.
  • the at least one operating parameter may furthermore include the ironing temperature.
  • the controller 50 controls the temperature of the ironing means 3 by adapting the power supplied to the heating means thereof.
  • the fabric workpiece 6 can be introduced manually by the operator by putting the unfolded fabric 6 on the entry table 2 or by help of an introduction system 1 which will automatically stretch the fabric workpiece 6 and put it on the entry table 2 in such a way that the fabric workpiece 6 will be introduced sequentially so that the temperature of the ironing cylinder 3 is cooled down homogeneously.
  • the introduction system 1 is constructed in a way that the width of the fabric workpiece 6 is measured during stretching and that on the basis of this width and the temperature values on different spots of the cylinder 3 the introduction system 1 will introduce the fabric workpiece 6 so that the fabric 6 is introduced where the temperature at the surface of the cylinder 3 is suitable or optimal, e.g. at the point where the temperature is the highest.
  • the way in which this is technically realised is described in detail with respect to Figs. 2.1 to 2.5.
  • the introduction system 1 comprises a first clamp 13 and a second clamp 14.
  • the second clamp 14 is continuously connected with a rope or wire 15.
  • the first clamp 13 can be alternatively connected to the frame 16 of the machine 100 or with the rope 15, by a releasable fastening means, e.g. by means of a coil 17.
  • the rope 15 is driven by gearbox 18, which may be provided with a torque limiter 19.
  • gearbox 18 which may be provided with a torque limiter 19.
  • encoder 20 is mounted on the opposite site.
  • the gearbox 18 drives the rope 15 on which clamp 14 is fixed, thus pulling the clamp 14 to the right.
  • Clamp 13 stays fixed to the frame 16 by means of releasable fastening means such as e.g. a coil 17.
  • a fabric width measuring device comprising for example a rotation encoder 20 with resolution of a predefined number of pulses per rotation.
  • the output from the rotation encoder 20 is read by a counter input of a control device, e.g. a PLC which may be part of the control unit, where the signal is filtered and interpreted before being passed as an actual distance.
  • the width of the fabric 6 can be detected with an array of optical or capacitive detectors, using for example a test for presence or absence of the fabrics.
  • a resulting signal is sent to the controller 50 which therefrom obtains information about the width of the fabrics 6 and can calculate an optimum position of the fabrics 6 with regard to the temperature distribution on the cylinder 3.
  • An optimum position of the fabrics may for example be such that the middle of the width of the fabrics 6 is located on the hottest spot on the cylinder 3.
  • the fabric 6 is stretched in the width, and a friction coupling 19 mounted on the gearbox 18 starts slipping.
  • the encoder 20 outputs a signal to a control unit such as a PLC for example which may be part of the control unit, from which signal can be derived that no movement is occurring anymore.
  • the control unit then sends a corresponding signal to suitable release means, which then release the releasable fastening means, in casu the coil 17, by which the clamp 13 becomes connected to the rope 15.
  • the fabric 6 is then transported so as to be located in an optimum position with respect to the temperature profile on the cylinder 3, e.g. especially with respect to the hottest place of the cylinder 3, as represented on Fig. 2.4.
  • Such an optimum position may be e.g. so that the middle of the width of the fabric workpiece is located on the hottest spot of the surface of the cylinder 3.
  • an optimum position may be e.g. so that the hottest part of the surface of the cylinder 3 is covered as much as possible by the introduced fabric workpiece 6.
  • the distance over which the fabric workpiece 6 moves for reaching the optimum position is measured by a measuring device, e.g. comprising rotation encoder 20 which sends a signal relating to the distance travelled to the control unit, this signal for example being a number of pulses.
  • the output from the rotation encoder 20 is read by a counter input of the control unit, e.g. a PLC, where the signal is filtered and interpreted as an actual distance
  • the fabric 6 is then introduced in the machine according to Fig. 2.4 by raising the part of the introduction system 1 mounted on frame 16.
  • the fabric 6 is released onto the entry table 2.
  • the fabric 6 introduced onto the entry table 2 passes humidity sensor 12 and optionally other sensors which determine the humidity, and also thickness and the kind of fabric 6 and the speed of rotating of the cylinder 3 or the power of the heating 4 is adapted by the control unit according to these parameters.
  • the control unit receives signals from the sensors and sends appropriate signals to the respective drive mechanisms of the ironing machine.
  • Mechanical parts in the form of distance pieces may keep the fabrics 6 at a constant distance from the head of the humidity detector 12, e.g. from its capacitive electrodes.
  • the information gathered by the humidity detector 12 is sent to the control unit, which may be the same as the controller 50 or a different one, and, as a consequence, the control unit modulates the heating of the heated cylinder 3 so as to obtain the necessary power output according to the desired/reference ironing temperature and also, if necessary, sets the ironing speed to a predefined (reference) value according to the desired residual humidity.
  • the table 21 can optionally be withdrawn or retracted during the stretching operation and be extended when the fabric 6 is stretched over its width. This allows free moving of the fabric 6 and as the table 21 extends the fabric 6 is additionally being stretched in its length direction.
  • the controller 50 sets the infeed location of the fabrics 6 depending on the temperature distribution of the cylinder 3.
  • the controller 50 may compare the values of the temperature sensors distributed over the length of the ironing means 3, and drive the clamps 13, 14 so as to feed the fabric 6 at an optimum location with respect to the temperature distribution of the cylinder 3, generally where the temperature of the cylinder 3 is the highest.
  • the controller 50 may carry out suitable manipulations of the received temperature values, e.g. obtain maximum values or determined averages as is known to the skilled person.
