Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for feeding laundry items to a laundry treatment device, in particular a defect, according to the preamble of claim 1 or 5. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for feeding laundry to a laundry treatment device, in particular a defect, according to the The preamble of claim 8 or 12.
- Laundry items are supplied to laundry treatment equipment such as mangles with devices commonly referred to as input machines.
- transverse edges of the items of laundry which are also referred to below as the front edge or the rear edge, run transversely to the feed direction.
- margins or longitudinal edges edges of the laundry items run in the feed direction.
- transverse edges on the one hand and side edges or longitudinal edges on the other hand should have no influence on the orientation of the laundry items in the feed direction for the following description. It can therefore be transverse edges long or short edges of the laundry items. The same applies to side edges or longitudinal edges. It is known to spread the items of laundry of a spreading and hang down in the extended state of the spreader on a feed conveyor or an associated Ablegemann.
- the spreading device has expansion clamps which can be moved transversely to the feed direction and which hold adjacent corners or corner regions of a transverse edge, in particular front transverse edge, and pass through this transverse edge Stretch apart or spread apart while spreading the hanging on the Sp Drklammern laundry.
- the invention is therefore based on the object, a method and an apparatus for supplying laundry items to a laundry treatment device, in particular a defect to create, leading to an improved quality of treatment, preferably without a reduction in treatment performance.
- a method for achieving this object comprises the measures of claim 1. Accordingly, it is envisaged that the corner portions of the item of laundry held by the expansion clamps are to be moved through the expansion clamps until they are deposited on the supply conveyor or the leveling bar close to their corners, in particular their geometric corner points. There are thus from the Sp Drklammern outstanding corners, especially Zipfel avoided. The tips lead after placing the stretched by the expansion brackets front edge or transverse edge of the garment with the it adjoining edge region on the feed conveyor and / or the Ablegemann to the ears mentioned at the corners, which protrude from the outlines of the geometric shape of the laundry article and thus lead to a significant impairment of the quality of treatment.
- the method can be developed such that the corner portions of the respective item of laundry held by the expansion clips are moved so far through the expansion clips until an outermost point of each corner, preferably the geometric corner point of the respective corner, reaches a clamping region of the respective expansion clip. At least the corners are moved so far through the Sp Schwarzklammern that their outermost points are close to the clamping region of the respective Sp Schwarzklammer, thereby earing is avoided when depositing the garment from the Sp Dr Drklammern on the Ablegele or the feed conveyor or significantly reduced.
- An advantageous embodiment of the method provides to form the clamping region of each expansion clip between adjacent and preferably mutually corresponding Klemmorgangen.
- a clamping member of each expansion clamp is driven selectively controlled to move the respective corner region of the laundry by the respective expansion clamp.
- the clamping members are preferably designed as rollers or pinch rollers. These make it possible to transport the respective corner region through the expansion clamp that holds it. It can be targeted in each Sp Schwarzklammer so targeted the respective corner, in particular the geometric vertex. A possibly opposite the Sp Schwarzklammer projecting tip is so at least largely eliminated.
- Each of the two Sp Schwarzklammern a Sp Schwarzklammercrus can be operated individually from each other, which can be individually and independently eliminate each other different lengths Zipfel in one or the other Sp Schwarzklammer each Sp Drharimmercrus.
- each expansion clamp can preferably be provided to pivot one of the clamping rollers, preferably a freely rotatable roller or pinch roller, of each expansion clamp relative to its associated roller of the roller or roller pair.
- each expansion clip can be opened so far that it can be easily loaded with a corner region of a piece of laundry.
- Another method for solving the above-mentioned problem comprises the measures of claim 5. According to this method, it is provided to reduce the transport speed of the item of laundry by the respective loading station prior to gripping the transverse edge of the item of laundry defining opposite corners thereof of transfer or expansion clamps. This allows a reliable and above all exact gripping of the adjacent corners of the item of laundry. In particular, it is thus ensured that when gripping the corner regions of the item of laundry there are no or only very short corners.
- a refinement possibility of the method provides for the time to be determined, in particular to be detected, at which the outermost corners, in particular the geometric corner points, of the corner regions of the item of laundry are released from the loading station.
- this time is individually and independently detected for each corner or outermost point of each corner region of the laundry article.
- these locations can be determined exactly, even if the points of different corner regions of the laundry article not free at the same time, but one after the other from the loading station.
- the individual determination of the time of escape of each outermost corner or outermost point opposite corner regions of a transverse edge of the laundry article from the loading station allows a reliable exact gripping the two opposite corners of the transverse edge of the laundry item at the outermost place without any significant earing.
- the spreading clamps of the spreading device are assigned conveying means for moving or displacing the corner areas held by the spreading clamps at opposite ends of a transverse edge of the laundry item.
- the conveying means of the expansion clamps make it possible to transport the corner regions of the item of laundry held by them so far through the expansion clamps until there is no longer any protrusion of the corner regions of the item of laundry from the expansion clips or at least the tips are almost eliminated. Such corners can then no longer adversely affect the appearance of the treated item of laundry, in particular the mangled item of laundry. As a result, the quality of treatment of the respective item of laundry is improved significantly.
- each expansion clamp has a pair of rollers or rollers for clamping in each case a corner region or a corner of the item of laundry, wherein at least one of the rollers is rotatably drivable.
- the result is a pair of rollers or rollers with cooperating rollers or rollers that can not only clamp in the respective corner region of the laundry, but can also transport the corner through a nip between the adjacent rollers.
- a rotational drive to the rotatably drivable roller of each roller pair of each expansion clamp. It may be a simple rotary drive, which only needs to have a relatively short rotation. In general, a part of a full circle rotation of the driven roller is sufficient to the Zipfel to eliminate or reduce.
- the rotary drive is designed as a pneumatic or electric rotary drive.
- the rotary drive can also be realized mechanically.
- it is preferably provided to design the rotary drive such that the angular range of the rotation of the driven rollers is adjustable. As a rule, a presetting which does not have to be constantly changed during the operation of the device is sufficient.
- This default setting can be chosen so that the tip is significantly reduced and only a residual left over, which varies from piece to piece of laundry within narrow limits. It is also conceivable, however, to set the angular range of the rotary drive of the driven roller of each expansion clip independently of each other individually, specifically on the basis of a previously detected size or length of the tip.
- one of the two rolls of a roll pair of each expansion clamp preferably a freely rotatable roll of the roll pair of each expansion clamp, about a transverse to its axis of rotation pivot axis of the respective expansion clamp is pivotable.
- This allows a simple and further opening of the respective expansion clamp, which allows a simple and uncomplicated loading of the same with a corner region of the respective laundry article.
- closing the expansion clamp can be realized by the pivoting of the non-driven roller, the clamping force of the held in the expansion clamp between the pair of rollers corner portion of the laundry according to the requirements.
- an adaptation to different thickness laundry is possible.
- only the driven roller pivotally form or both rollers in opposite directions form pivotally, so that the respective expansion clip can open V-shaped.
- the corner finders of each loading station have at least one detection means.
- the detection means is designed to detect the trailing behind the front transverse edge of the detection means rear transverse edge of the laundry article. From the detection means, the transport speed of the laundry is then reduced by means of an appropriate control or circuit, as soon as the detection means has detected the passage of the rear, subsequent transverse edge of the item of laundry. With the low transport speed, the corner finders can reliably and accurately detect the respective corner region of the item of laundry.
- Each loading station preferably has two corner finders for a respective side edge or longitudinal edge of the item of laundry which runs in the feed direction and is transported further.
- Each corner finder has a pair of rollers with at least one individually rotatably driven roller.
- each corner finder own detection means preferably a light barrier-like detection means.
- the detection means makes it possible to determine the rear end of the side edge or of the longitudinal edge of the item of laundry, which corresponds to a lower corner region of the item of laundry. It can be so reliably and exactly a corner, preferably a geometric corner, of the laundry item detected and fixed by the corner finder without a significant tip over the nip of the roller pair protrudes each corner finder.

- the input machine is fully illustrated.
- the input machine shown serves not shown items of laundry, especially flat items such as sheets, duvet covers, pillow cases, towels, tablecloths and the like supply in the feed direction 10 to a defect not shown in the figures.
- the apparatus shown can also serve to supply items of laundry to other laundry treatment facilities, for example folding machines.
- the illustrated apparatus or input machine has three equally formed loading stations 1 1.
- the three loading stations 11 are arranged at the same distance from one another in a direction transverse to the feed direction 10 row on the front of the input machine.
- the middle loading station 11 is located in the center of the input machine shown.
- the two other loading stations 11 are arranged on opposite sides of the central loading station 1 1 off-center.
- the invention is also suitable for input machines with a larger or smaller number of loading stations 11, even for input machines with only a single loading station 11.
- a spreader 12 As seen in the feed direction 10 follows the loading stations 1 1, a spreader 12.
- the spreader 12 has a transverse to the feed direction 10 horizontal rail 13, on each of which a spreading clamp 14 carrying carriage 15 are transversely to the feed direction 10 movable.
- a spreading clamp 14 carrying carriage 15 In the apparatus shown four preferably identically formed Sp Dahlklammern 14, each with its own carriage 15 are provided. But it is also conceivable that the spreader 12 has only two Sp Dahlklammern 14 with trolley 15.
- two expansion clips 14 with a mirror image Arrangement to each other form a Sp Dr.mmercruve for adjacent corners of an advancing in the feed direction 10 transverse edge of the laundry article.
- the expansion clamps 14 of each pair can be moved together and moved apart transversely to the feed direction 10.
- the spreader 12 is followed by a feed conveyor 16.
- the laundry item spread and fed in by the spreader 12 is transferred from the spreader clamps 14 of the spreader clamp pair to a front end 16 of the feed conveyor 17 with the leading edge extended. This is done by centrally depositing a front, stretched transverse edge region of the laundry article on the located in the front end 16 of the feed conveyor 17 section of the upper run of the feed conveyor 17. The middle of the laundry is thereby placed on the center of the feed conveyor 17.
- the center of the feed conveyor 17 is located in a feed direction 10 extending vertical longitudinal center plane of the input machine.
- Each loading station 1 1 has a loading conveyor 18 which transports the laundry item in the feed direction 10, and two subsequent corner finders 19 for respectively adjacent corners or corner areas of a second, originally rear transverse edge of the laundry item.
- transfer clamps 20 are provided between the two corner finders 19 of each loading station 11 and of the spreading device 12.
- the two transfer brackets 20 assigned to each loading station 11 are combined to form a transfer bracket pair 21.
- the transfer brackets 20 thereby form a double clamp for one of the opposite corners of the transverse edge of the laundry item.
- the pair of transfer staples 21 of each loading station 11 can be moved with a carriage on a rail 22, 23, 24.
- the rail 22 of the middle loading station 1 runs straight in the feed direction 10 along the center of the input machine and the feed conveyor 17.
- the rail 22 extends in the feed direction 10 upwards. From the outer loading stations 11 go longer obliquely upward and in the direction of the spreading device 12 extending rails 23, 24.
- Both rails 23, 24 are of equal length but differently oriented, so that their rear ends 25, viewed in the feed direction 10, are directed towards the center of the input machine, but terminate before the middle.
- Each of the same trained loading conveyor 18 of the loading station 11 has two narrow, equal width belt conveyor 27, 28, each with at least one circulating conveyor belt.
- the belt conveyors 27, 28 are arranged one above the other to form a sandwich conveyor.
- the upper belt conveyor 27 is shorter than the lower belt conveyor 28, the upper belt conveyor 27 seen in the feeding direction 10 is behind the beginning of the lower belt conveyor 18 to form an exposed front portion of the upper run of the lower belt conveyor 28, thus a laying area 29 for a respective Laundry item forms.
- the conveyor belt of the longer lower belt conveyor 28 is driven indirectly by entrainment from the conveyor belt of the driven shorter belt conveyor 27 or an intermediate between the conveyor belt of the driven shorter belt conveyor 27 is preferably driven only on the shorter upper belt conveyor 27, for example on a tail pulley the upper run of the lower belt conveyor and the lower run of the upper belt conveyor 27 lying part of a piece of laundry.
- the corner finders 19 of the respective loading station 11 shown in FIGS. 1 to 15 are associated with a rear end 30 of the longer, lower belt conveyor 28, as seen in the feed direction 10, and partially on both sides beside the rear end 30 of the belt conveyor 28 behind (Fig. 14).
- Each of the preferably identically formed, but by arrangement on opposite sides of the end 30 of the belt conveyor 28 mirror image oriented corner finder 19 has two rollers 31, 32, which together form a pair of rollers with parallel longitudinal central axes or axes of rotation. Between the rollers 31, 32 of the roller pair, a nip 33 is formed.
- each corner finder 19 The rollers 31 and 32 of each corner finder 19 are disposed on opposite sides of the end 30 of the belt conveyor 28 so that their nips 33 lie in a common, horizontal line which is transverse to the direction of feed 10 and parallel to the rail 13 of the spreader 12.
- a roller 31 of each corner finder 19 is rotationally driven.
- These independently driven separately rollers 31 on both sides of the tail pulley at the rear end 30 of the belt conveyor 28 lie on a common line transverse to the feed direction 10. On this line are the axes of rotation of the driven rollers 31 and the tail pulley of the belt conveyor 28.
- the driven rollers 31 are the same as the tail pulley at the end 30 of the belt conveyor 28 arranged stationary.
- the rollers 32 are movably mounted on a pendulum arm (FIG. 12).
- the non-driven rollers 32 are either by their own weight or by a spring bias of the pendulum arms 34 in the direction of the driven rollers
- each loading conveyor 18 is surrounded by a guide channel, which is formed in the embodiment shown as a top largely open U-shaped groove 35.
- a guide channel which is formed in the embodiment shown as a top largely open U-shaped groove 35.
- the laundry item in particular the opposite side or longitudinal edges of the same during transport in the feed direction 10 between the belt conveyors 27 and 28 pulled and guided led to the behind the channel 35 on both sides next to the loading conveyor 18 arranged corner finders 19.
- opposite side or longitudinal edges of the item of laundry in the feed direction 10 extend into the nip 33 between the pair of rollers 31 and 32 of each corner finder 19.
- detection means 36 are arranged above their ends pointing to each corner finder 19.
- the detection means 36 are line sensors which generate an approximately vertical sensor line 37 acoustically or optically.
- two parallel detection means 36 are arranged at a small distance next to each side of the lower belt conveyor 28. This happens for the purpose of redundancy. However, it is also conceivable to provide only one detection means 36 on each side of the belt conveyor.
- the sensor lines 37 of Detection means 36 extend in front of the front rollers 31 of the corner finder 19 in the direction of the bottom of the channel 35.
- the detection means 36 or sensor lines 37 detect the presence or absence of a side edge region of the item of laundry on each side of the belt conveyor 28 and in front of the respective corner finder 19.
- the sensor lines 37 of the detection means 36 determine the rear ends of the side edge regions of the respective item of laundry in front of the corner finder 19 on each side of the belt conveyor 28.
- At least one detection means 36 actuates the drive of the roller 31 of the respective corner finder 19 such that the rotational speed or speed of the roller 31 is reduced on the relevant side of the belt conveyor 28. Then, the respective end portion of the side edge portion of the garment in the region of the corner finder 19 on one or the other side of the belt conveyor 28 is transported slowly through the nip 33 of the relevant corner finder 19. As a result, the end of the respective side edge region of the item of laundry in the respective corner finder 19 can be determined more reliably and more accurately.
- the end of the respective side edge region of the item of laundry in the region of the relevant corner finder 19 is then detected by other detection means 38, in each case at least one such detection means 38 is provided outside each corner finder 19 on both sides of the belt conveyor 28.
- the detection means 38 are also designed to generate an acoustic or optical sensor line 39.
- the sensor line 39 of each corner finder 19 extends parallel with a small distance above the nip 33 between the rollers 31 and 32 of the respective corner finder 19 ( Figures 14 and 15).
- the sensor lines 39 of both corner finders 19 lie on a common imaginary horizontal line parallel to the axes of rotation of the rollers 31 and 32 and thus transverse to the feed direction 10 slightly above and before the nip 33 of each corner finder.
- each corner finder 19 an optionally consecutive passage of the end of the left and right side edges of the laundry article along the sensor lines 39 is detected independently.
- the drive of the driven roller 31 of the respective corner finder 19 stops.
- a corner of an original rear one is obtained Querrands fixed in the manner of a clip, in such a way that the outermost point of the relevant corner of the laundry item is just in the nip 33, but at least just before it.
- This end 25 is located in the vertical longitudinal center plane of the device or input machine.
- the laundry of the two Transfer clamps 20 of the transfer bracket pair 21 are transferred to two expansion clamps 14 of a pair of expansion clamps driven toward the center of the input machine with mutually facing open sides of the clamp mouths (FIG. 10). Subsequently, these two expansion clamps 14 are equally moved apart in opposite directions for spreading the now upper transverse edge of the laundry article.
- the pair of transfer clips 21 is located at the outer, lower end of the rail 23 behind the two corner finders 19 (FIG. 7).
- the pair of transfer staples 21 pick up a piece of laundry from the corner finders 19 so that each transfer staple 20 retains a corner of the front transverse edge of the garment.
- the transfer brackets 20 of the transfer bracket pair 21 are moved together on the inclined rail 23 to the higher rear end 26 thereof.
- This end 26 of the rail 23 is located above and in the feed direction 10 to the spreader 12 out offset lower end thereof.
- the rail 23 is in three-dimensional space slanted, and indeed as well as the rail 24 of the left loading station 1, which, however, is mirror-inverted to the rail 23 aligned.
- the upper, rear end 26 of the rail terminates at a distance from the end 25 of the middle rail 22. Therefore, the pair of transfer brackets 21 moved to the end 26 of the rail 23 are spaced apart from the vertical longitudinal center plane of the input machine. At this off-center point, the laundry item is transferred from the transfer clamps 20 of the transfer clamp pair 21 to the already trailing, waiting or later driven behind the transfer clamp pair 21, expansion clamps 14 of a pair of free clamp pairs closest to the transfer point (FIGS. 8 and 9).
- the transfer bracket pairs 21 on each of the rails 22, 23 and 24 and the expansion brackets 14 of the spreader 12 lie in two different parallel planes (Figure 9). However, these levels are as close together as possible, so that the expansion clamps 14 can pass the transfer brackets 20 and their slides, but the transfer of the corners of the respective laundry from Transferklammercru 21 to the Sp Dr Drklammern 14 is reliably possible. Due to the fact that the transfer clamps 20 can run along the expansion clamps 14, it is possible that several or all pairs of transfer clamps 21 are located at the upper end 25, 26 of the respective rail 22, 23 and 24, respectively, without colliding thereby (FIG. 10). In a particularly inventive way, each of the expansion clamps 14 is formed.
- This embodiment is such that after hooking in a corner region of a laundry item 40 shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 into a clamp mouth 41 of the expansion clamp 14, a corner 42 of the corner region held by the expansion clamp 14 with the clamp mouth closed is over the clamp mouth 41 41, ie in the state held by the expansion clamp 14 relative to the expansion clamp 14, in particular the clamp mouth 41 thereof, is movable.
- This movement takes place in such a way that the tip 42 is reduced in size and an outermost corner 43 of the corner region, in particular of the corner 42, of the item of laundry 40 reaches into the region of a nip 44 in the clamping mouth 41 (FIG. 17).
- the tip 42 protruding from the clamping point 44 is eliminated or at least reduced.
- the garment 40 is then held at the extreme point 43 corresponding to the corner geometric point of a corner at the nip 40 ( Figure 17).
- the conveying means are two rollers 45, 46 which correspond to one another.
- the rollers 45, 46 form a roller pair with a line-shaped roller gap 47 lying between them with the jaw 41 closed (FIG. 17).
- This line-shaped nip 47 forms the nip 44 of a lip 42 and outermost corner 43 of one of the adjacent corners of the trailing front transverse edge of the laundry 14.
- One of the two rollers 45, 46 of the respective expansion clamp 14, namely the roller 46, is rotationally driven.
- the other, non-driven roller 45 of the roller pair is pivotable about a pivot axis 48 at one end thereof.
- This pivot axis 48 extends perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the freely rotatable roller 45.
- the pivot axis 48 is assigned to that end face of the rollers 45 which faces the carriage 15. Swivels the Roller 45 by a suitable linear drive, in the illustrated embodiment, a pneumatic cylinder 49, or a rotary actuator.
- the rotatable roller 46 is driven by a rotary drive 50 assigned to it.
- This can be an electric motor, in particular a servomotor, or else a pneumatic or mechanical rotary drive 50.
- the rotational travel or angle of rotation of the rotary drive 50 need only be so great that it rotates the roller 46 so far that it can remove the longest conceivable tip 42 which forms on the respective expansion clamp 14.
- a pivot angle which is smaller than a full circle rotation of the roller 46 is sufficient for this purpose.
- the above invention of reducing or eliminating the lobes 42 of the corner portions of the laundry article 40 held in the expansion clip 14 is suitable for all types of input machines with expansion clips 14, and is thus not applicable to the device described above or shown in FIGS. 1 to 15 Input machine limited.
