Description

DESCRIPTION

DEAERATOR FOR TRANSPORT AND STORAGE OF TEXTILES

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The present invention belongs to the field of textiles and more specifically to packaging equipment for its logistics.

The object of the present invention is a new deaeration system for pillows, cushions, duvets and similar products.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

To transport and store pillows, cushions and duvets efficiently, it is advisable to reduce the volume occupied by these products without damaging their structure and allowing them to recover their sponginess and original appearance when they are delivered to the end user. To do this, it is necessary to extract the air that is found between the fibers or down that make up the interior of these products.

Various systems are currently used to extract the air from these products, but they are complex or ineffective. Some of these systems are: vacuum pumps or vacuum cleaners to extract the air, but it is necessary that the material is inside a resistant plastic bag and that it allows its hermetic closure. Another system is the use of rollers or roller paths for the compression of the material. In these cases, the treatment is unitary and the subsequent placement of the materials on the pallet is necessary, which greatly reduces its effectiveness.

The proposed system allows the extraction of air from all the products that make up the pallet simultaneously, leaving the pallet with the product ready for transport and/or storage.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The inventor of the present application, Mr. Run Chen with NIF Y2759238B, has developed a system that solves the previous problems in an efficient and novel way by using a crushing system (2) and (Fig.2) that acts as a uniformly over the entire volume of the palletized material to be ventilated, allowing the free evacuation of the air initially contained in the product, through a solid and rigid structure that allows adequate compression of the products on the pallet that supports them.

Each of the parts that make up this system is described in greater detail below:

A. ) The crushing system (2) and (Fig. 2) consists of a portal in which an electric hoist (5) is installed, from which in turn hangs a prism of dimensions and weight that the inventor has determined through experimentation. to best fit the application. This prism (7) is initially in the upper part and lowers in a controlled manner by means of an electric actuator connected to lifting lowering chains (6), once the compression chamber has been filled with the material to be deaerated. The weight of this prism is what crushes the products causing the air they initially contained to be expelled out of the product. The lowering speed of the prism has been established through experimentation to avoid that the air coming out can break the cushions, pillows or duvets.

) La cámara de compresión (4) y (9) es una estructura de tubos que se llena con los productos a desairear y que, por su interior, se mueve el prisma (7) del sistema de aplastamiento. La cámara está dotada de puertas (10) en su zona inferior por donde se mete y saca el material. Así mismo, tiene una ventana (8), en su zona superior que se accede mediante escalera y plataforma (3), a través de la cual se puede meter producto adicional antes de iniciar su desaireación mediante el sistema de aplastamiento. El inventor diseñó esta cámara para que sirviera también de guía al prisma del sistema de aplastamiento y dejara suficiente espacio abierto para que se produzca la expulsión del aire, pero con el cerramiento suficiente para evitar que los productos se puedan caer de la pila formada sobre el pallet al ser aplastados. b.

) The compression chamber (4) and (9) is a tube structure that is filled with the products to be deaerated and that, inside, moves the prism (7) of the crushing system. The chamber is equipped with doors (10) in its lower area through which the material is inserted and removed. Likewise, it has a window (8), in its upper area that is accessed by means of a ladder and platform (3), through which additional product can be inserted before starting its deaeration by means of the crushing system. The inventor designed this chamber to also serve as a guide for the crushing system prism and leave enough open space for the expulsion of air to occur, but with sufficient enclosure to prevent the products from falling from the pile formed on the pallet being crushed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1 shows the whole of the deaeration system where the crushing system (2) and the compression chamber (4) are shown according to the present invention and also includes auxiliary systems such as the upper platform and the auxiliary system of product elevation (1) for a better understanding of the operation of the main system.

Figure 2 shows the crushing subsystem and figure 3 the compression chamber, so that some of its operations can be seen more clearly.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In the following, a deaeration operation is described for clarity in the description of the deaeration system.

A pallet loaded with product, which is intended to be deaerated, is introduced into the compression chamber through the doors located in the lower area of this chamber (Fig.3).

Next, its doors are closed and the loading of the pallet with additional product is completed through the window that the compression chamber has in its upper area. To carry out this additional load, it is necessary to access the upper area of the cold room thanks to the mezzanine platform (Fig. 1). To facilitate the raising of the additional load material to said platform, a lifting system similar to the one shown in figure 1 can be used. Both the platform and this lifting system are outside the scope of this utility model.

Once the compression chamber is loaded with the product, the safety devices (which prevent an inadvertent drop of the weight) of the prism of the crushing system (Fig. 2) are released and the descent of this prism begins at the established speed. by means of the motor-reducer of the hoist. The prism runs through the interior of the compression chamber, crushing the products, which causes the expulsion of the air that they initially contained.

The speed of descent of the prism, as well as the open surface of the compression chamber are two key variables so that the expulsion of the air is carried out without damaging the products and without causing the products stacked on the pallet to fall.

Once the prism has been lowered, the products have lost the air they contained, and therefore, the volume of the pallet with this material has been significantly reduced, which results in a clear optimization of the use of both truck cubic capacity as well as the warehouse volume necessary for its logistics.
