Definitions

  • This invention relates to an installation for the processing of fabrics.
  • the invention relates to an installation for processing tubular pieces of fabric.
  • piece refers to a length of fabric which may be gathered in rolls or in superposed folds or in any other way which allows its effective storage.
  • the invention is advantageously applied for the preparation of fabrics for subsequent treatment or processing such as, for example, dyeing, washing or others.
  • tubular pieces of fabric are joined to each other in series by suitable sewing units which stitch a final end edge, also known as tail, of one piece of fabric to a starting end edge, also known as head, of the next tubular piece of fabric. That way, a long tubular web of fabric that can be subjected to a series of continuous treatments is created.
  • the continuous tubular web of material thus made is cut lengthways and opened so that the fabric can be laid out flat in a single plane.
  • This cutting operation is performed by a specific cutting unit.
  • the sewing unit and the cutting unit are two separate units, independent of each other.
  • the semi-finished tubular lengths of fabric must be transported from one unit to the other in order to complete processing of the fabric itself.
  • this process often requires the presence of more than one operator to be completed easily.
  • a first operator attends to the sewing unit, a second operator controls the cutting, while a third operator transfers and/or stores the semi-finished product.
  • the basic purpose of this invention is to provide an installation for the processing of fabrics that overcomes the above mentioned disadvantages of the prior art.
  • this invention has for an aim to provide a fabric processing installation which can significantly reduce the number of operators required to attend to operations.
  • Another aim of the invention is to provide a fabric processing installation that can reduce processing times.
  • the numeral 1 denotes in its entirety an installation for the processing of fabrics according to this invention.
  • the installation 1 makes long webs of fabric wound in rolls or folded, ready for subsequent treatments such as, for example, dyeing, further finishing or washing.
  • the installation 1 comprises a sewing unit 2 and a cutting unit 3 connected to each other.
  • the sewing unit 2 stitches together a succession of tubular pieces of fabric to form a continuous tubular web of fabric.
  • the tail edge of one tubular piece of fabric is placed over and stitched to the head edge of the next tubular piece of fabric at the sewing unit 2.
  • the tubular web is cut lengthways in order to make a continuous open web of material twice as wide as the tubular web.
  • the continuous tubular web of fabric is cut in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of the stitching that joins the different tubular pieces of fabric.
  • the sewing unit 2 extends between an infeed section 2a, where the tubular pieces of fabric are fed in succession to the sewing unit 2 itself, and an outfeed section 2b, where the continuous tubular web leaves the sewing unit 2.
  • a movement element 4 which allows the head and tail edges or ends of the tubular pieces of fabric to be placed over each other and moved circumferentially while they are being joined.
  • the movement unit 4 comprises a pair of conveyor belts 5 round which the head and tail edges of the tubular pieces of fabric are fitted. Conveyor belt drive allows the tubular ends to be moved circumferentially.
  • the movement element 4 forms at least part of the infeed section 2a of the sewing unit 2.
  • the sewing unit 2 also comprises a sewing machine 6 which makes the connecting stitches.
  • the sewing machine 6 is located between the conveyor belts 5 so that the latter, as they move, feed the superposed head and tail edges of two consecutive tubular pieces to the sewing machine 6 itself.
  • a cradle 7 on which the tubular pieces are positioned, for example wound on themselves and ready to be fed to the sewing unit 2.
  • the sewing unit 2 also comprises pulling means 8 operating on the tubular pieces of fabric after they have been stitched together in such a way as to move the continuous web out of the sewing unit 2 itself.
  • the pulling means 8 comprise a pair of parallel, counter-rotating pulling rollers 9 mounted side by side.
  • the pulling rollers 9 are connected to a motor (not illustrated in the drawings) which drives them.
  • the continuous tubular web passes between the two pulling rollers 9 which are designed to pull it away from the sewing machine 6.
  • the means 8 for pulling the tubular pieces of fabric after they have been stitched together form at least part of the outfeed section 2b of the sewing unit 2.
  • the means 8 for pulling the tubular pieces after they have been stitched together are mounted at a higher level than the element 4 that moves the tubular pieces before they are stitched together.
  • the infeed section 2a of the sewing unit 2 is located at a lower level than the outfeed section 2b of the sewing unit 2.
  • the cutting unit 3 extends between an infeed section 3a, where the continuous tubular web (that is, the succession of tubular pieces after they have been stitched together) is fed into the cutting unit 3, and an outfeed section 3b where the cut web leaves the cutting unit 3.
  • the cutting unit 3 comprises an opening element 10 located at the infeed section 3a of the cutting unit 3.
  • the continuous tubular web is passed round the opening element 10 in such a way that the walls of the tubular web are spread apart.
  • the opening element 10 comprises a truncated cone shaped member 11 positioned with its longitudinal axis substantially vertical.
  • the truncated cone shaped member 11 is positioned in such a way that its cross section (transversal to the longitudinal axis) widens upwards.
  • a hemispherical guiding element 12 At a first end 11a of the truncated cone shaped member 11, where the latter's cross section is narrowest, there is a hemispherical guiding element 12.
  • the cutting unit 3 also comprises a blade 13 which makes the above mentioned lengthwise cut.
  • the blade 13 is associated with the opening element 10. Looking in further detail, the blade 13 is positioned at a second end 11b of the truncated cone shaped member 11, where the latter's cross section is widest.
  • the blade 13 is substantially flat and positioned in a substantially vertical plane.
  • the cutting unit 3 also comprises a device 15 for transporting and dragging the continuous open web so that the fabric can be fed out of the cutting unit 2.
  • the device 15 comprises a cylinder 16 mounted with its axis of rotation substantially horizontal.
  • the cylinder 16 is connected to a motor 17 which drives it.
  • the cylinder 16 is mounted at a higher level than the opening element 10.
  • the device 15 for transporting and dragging the continuous web of fabric constitutes the outfeed section 3b of the cutting unit 3.
  • the blade 13 is mounted substantially at - or rather, aligned with - a central portion of the cylinder 16. In more detail, the blade is located half way along the cylinder 16. This enables the web just cut to be laid out easily on the cylinder 16 which feeds it out.
  • the installation 1 comprises a mounting structure 19 which both the sewing unit 2 and the cutting unit 3 are connected to.
  • both the sewing unit 2 and the cutting unit 3 are rigidly connected to the mounting structure 19.
  • the mounting structure 19 is shaped in such a way that the sewing unit 2 and the cutting unit 3 are positioned at right angles to each other. This makes it possible to reduce the overall dimensions of the installation 1.
  • an installation 1 shaped in this way means that the infeed section 2a of the sewing unit 2 and the infeed section 3a of the cutting unit 3 are adjacent to each other. More specifically, the shape of the installation 1 is such that the infeed section 2a of the sewing unit 2 and the infeed section 3a of the cutting unit 3 give onto the same operating area where a single operator is working.
  • the operator occupies a single operating area from which the operator has easy access to both the infeed section 2a of the sewing unit 2 and to the infeed section 3a of the cutting unit 3 without having to move.
  • the mounting structure 19 is shaped in such a way that the sewing unit 2 and the cutting unit 3 are positioned parallel with each other. Preferably, the sewing unit 2 and the cutting unit 3 are aligned with each other.
  • the installation 1 also comprises a connecting member 20 located between the sewing unit 2 and the cutting unit 3.
  • the connecting member 20 enables the tubular web feeding out of the sewing unit 2 to be transferred to the cutting unit 3.
  • the connecting member 20 comprises a chute 21 located between the outfeed section 2b of the sewing unit 2 and the infeed section 3a of the cutting unit 3.
  • the outfeed section 2b of the sewing unit 2 is located at a higher level than the infeed section 3a of the cutting unit 3.
  • the chute 21 is inclined downwardly from the outfeed section 2b of the sewing unit 2 to the infeed section 3a of the cutting unit 3.
  • the chute 21 allows the tubular web to be transferred quickly and continuously from the sewing unit 2 to the cutting unit 3.
  • the chute 21 comprises a straight portion 22 located at the outfeed section 2b of the sewing unit 2.
  • the straight portion 22 of the chute 21 is inclined downwardly.
  • a conveyor belt 23 forming a respective substantially horizontal portion of the member 20 is located near the infeed section 3a of the cutting unit 3.
  • the straight portion 22 is substantially at right angles to the horizontal conveyor belt 23.
  • an oblique portion 24 of the chute 21 is located between the straight portion 22 and the conveyor belt 23 in such a way as to join the two parts. More in detail, in a plan view, the oblique portion 24 is positioned in such a way as to make with the straight portion 22 and the horizontal conveyor belt 23 respective predetermined angles with reference to the directions of longitudinal extension of the chute 21 portions themselves. As illustrated, in a plan view, the oblique portion 24 is positioned in such a way as to make angles substantially of 45° with the straight portion 22 and with the horizontal portion 23 formed by the conveyor belt.
  • the sewing unit 2 and the cutting unit 3 are aligned, there is no need to provide any inclined portion between the straight portion 22 and the horizontal portion 23.
  • the chute 21 might, however, comprise further connecting portions aligned with the other portions mentioned above.
  • the conveyor belt 23 has a first end 23a located in the proximity of the oblique portion 24 and a second end 23b, opposite the first, located in the proximity of the above mentioned collecting tank 14.
  • the conveyor belt 23 facilitates the passage of the continuous tubular web of fabric from the chute 22 to the tank 14.
  • the installation 1 also comprises a folding device 26 located downstream of the cutting unit 3 and rigidly connected to the mounting structure 19.
  • the folding device 26 comprises a frame 27 rotatably connected to the mounting structure 19.
  • the frame 27 mounts a pulling cylinder 28.
  • the pulling cylinder 28 is mounted parallel to the cylinder 16 of the transporting device 15 of the cutting unit 3.
  • the cut, opened fabric feeding out of the cutting unit 3 passes round the pulling cylinder 28 and is directed downwards by gravity towards a collecting container that is not illustrated.
  • the folding device 26 also comprises a pair of guide rollers 29 mounted on the frame 27 and parallel to the pulling cylinder 28.
  • the opened fabric is made to pass between the guide rollers 29.
  • An actuator 30 is located between the mounting structure 19 and the frame 27 in such a way as to impart to the latter, and in particular, to the guide rollers 29, an oscillating movement. That way, the fabric moving down towards the collecting container is gathered in a succession of folds placed neatly on top of one another.
  • the installation 1 also comprises an inspecting device 31 for checking the quality of the tubular pieces of fabric.
  • the inspecting device is associated with the sewing unit 2.
  • the inspecting device 31 might also be associated with the cutting unit 3 or with other components.
  • the inspecting device 31 comprises an illuminated inspection mirror 32 located between the sewing machine 6 and the pulling rollers 9.
  • the illuminated mirror 32 is directly upstream of the outfeed section 2b of the sewing unit 2.
  • the mirror 32 is at least as wide as the tubular web of fabric just formed at the sewing machine 6. That way, the tubular fabric can be effectively laid out on the mirror 32 of the inspecting device 31.
  • a sensor element 33 is mounted above the mirror 32 in such a way as to inspect the fabric of the continuous tubular web.
  • the sensor element 33 might, for example, be of the optical type. It should be noted that the inspecting device 31 is firmly connected to the mounting structure 19. The invention achieves the preset aims.
  • the installation for the processing of fabrics according to this invention makes it possible to reduce significantly the number of workers needed to attend to its operation. Indeed, it eliminates the need to transfer and temporarily store the semi-finished fabric between the step of sewing the pieces of fabric together and the step of cutting them lengthways. Thus, a single operator has full, convenient access to both the sewing unit and the cutting unit simultaneously.
