Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention draws a sheet material from a towel roll wound in a roll shape to impart moistness and cut the sheet material to a predetermined length, and then rolls the wet sheet material into a roll shape. The present invention relates to a rolled hand towel manufacturing apparatus that rolls up and manufactures rolled hand towels.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In various restaurants and the like, a "shibori" is often provided to customers as a part of customer service. As a "hot towel", a towel cloth "rolled towel"
"Folding towels", which are made by folding sheet materials such as paper or paper, are well known in recent years, but in recent years, due to the advantages of being hygienic and having a good feeling of use, inexpensive disposable paper or A small rolled hand towel manufacturing device that manufactures and supplies a rolled hand towel made of a sheet material such as a non-woven fabric on the spot as necessary has been commercialized.

As this type of rolled hand towel manufacturing apparatus, the one described in Japanese Patent No. 3081592 is known. This device comprises roll holding means for rotatably holding a towel roll formed by winding a sheet material in a substantially horizontal direction, feeding means for pulling the sheet material forward from the towel roll, and sending it downward. Watering means for giving dampness to the formed sheet material, cutting means for cutting the dampened sheet material at a position of a predetermined length from the tip, and the cut sheet material is rolled into a roll shape and And a forming means for forming a cylindrical hand towel, as a basic configuration. Since the operation of each of these means is automatically controlled in conjunction with each other, the user can obtain the rolled hand towel at the outlet of the forming means by pressing the hand towel supply button provided on the operation portion.

More specifically, the above-mentioned feeding means will be described. In front of the guide portion for placing the sheet material from the towel sheet on the upper surface and guiding it substantially horizontally, the motor is rotationally driven about the horizontal axis, A roller around which a plurality of rubber rings are provided and a pressing member that presses the sheet material against the ring with an appropriate force are arranged so as to cover the upper portion of the roller. The sheet material is sandwiched between the ring and the pressing member and is sent forward as the roller rotates. At this time, since the sheet material travels while rubbing the lower surface of the pressing member, if the friction between the sheet material and the pressing member is large, the traveling of the sheet material is not stable. Therefore, conventionally, the pressing member is formed of a synthetic resin such as acrylic resin having a relatively smooth surface.

[0005]

On the other hand, if the pressing member is not sufficiently pressed, the contact between the sheet material and the ring becomes insufficient, and the traveling of the sheet material becomes unstable. Therefore, the pressing member is pressed against the ring by the urging force of the urging member such as a spring. for that reason,
When the roller rotates and the sheet material travels, the pressing member receives a strong frictional force from the sheet material. As a result, when such a rolled hand towel manufacturing apparatus is used for a long period of time, a portion of the lower surface of the pressing member along the ring of the roller is worn and a groove is formed. When the lower surface of the pressing member becomes rough in this way, friction with the sheet material increases,
The feeding of the sheet material becomes unstable, and the sheet material may be clogged or the cut sheet material may have uneven lengths.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and an object of the present invention is to wind a sheet material from a towel sheet so that the sheet material can always be pulled out and fed stably. It is to provide a hand towel manufacturing device.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, involves rolling a sheet material, which is pulled out from a towel roll and is provided with moistness and cut into a predetermined length, into a roll shape. In the rolled hand towel manufacturing apparatus for forming rolled towels, the feeding means for pulling out and feeding the sheet material from the towel roll includes a) a rotation drive source, and b) holding the sheet material from the towel roll on the upper part. A conveyance unit that rotates in a direction in which the sheet material is pulled out by the driving force of the rotary drive source; and c) is located at a position facing the conveyance unit with the sheet material sandwiched therebetween, and the conveyance unit sandwiches the sheet material. A pressing portion that is biased toward the conveying portion, and a contact portion at least closest to the conveying portion on the sliding surface of the pressing portion has a body portion around the pressing portion. Against It is characterized by comprising removing easily attached.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the rolled hand towel manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, the sheet material is pressed against the conveying portion by the pressing portion, and the sheet material is rotated as the conveying portion is rotated by the driving force from the rotary drive source. Runs while being sandwiched between the transport section and the pressing section. At that time, the abutting portion of the pressing portion receives the frictional force due to the sliding of the sheet material most strongly and is more easily worn than the surrounding portion, but since the abutting portion is easy to attach and detach, If it is worn to such an extent that driving becomes unstable, it can be easily replaced with a new member. Even when the main body of the pressing portion has a complicated shape and is expensive, the cost of the contact portion itself is much lower than that of the main body, which is very economical.

It should be noted that the term "easy attachment / detachment" here naturally includes, for example, a fitting type attachment / detachment type without using a tool or the like, but for example, an easily available tool is used. It also includes screwing, which can be attached and detached, for example, by screwing.

Further, a typical mode of the conveying section is a rotating body having a circular cross section such as rollers. However, an endless belt wound around a plurality of rollers rotates in one direction as a whole, and the rotation thereof causes the rotation. Any configuration may be used as long as the sheet material can be conveyed.

As described above, according to the rolled towel hand towel manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to always stably pull out and feed the sheet material of the towel sheet without requiring a high cost.

According to another aspect of the present invention, the main body of the pressing portion is an integrally molded product of synthetic resin, and the abutting portion is formed of a material having a hardness higher than that of the main body.
For example, it can be a metal body such as aluminum.
According to such a configuration, since the abutting portion hardly wears in the first place, the frequency of replacement can be reduced, which is more economical. Of course, it is preferable that the contact surface with the sheet material is a smooth surface so as to reduce friction regardless of the material of the abutting portion.

FIG. 8 is an enlarged view for explaining a material winding operation.

First, the schematic structure of the rolled hand towel manufacturing apparatus of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. This roll hand towel manufacturing apparatus includes a roll holding means 10 for holding a towel roll 11 in which a sheet material made of paper, non-woven fabric, chemical fiber pulp or the like is wound in a roll shape substantially horizontally and rotatably, and the roll holding means 10. And a roll holding means 10 for sandwiching the sheet material 11a from the upper outer peripheral side of the towel roll 11 housed in
The water stored in the water tank 31 arranged at the rear of the water tank 31 and a watering means 30 including a water spray pipe 37 for spraying the dangling sheet material with dampness to the dangling sheet material; The cutting means 40 cuts substantially horizontally at a dimensional length position, and the forming means 50 that holds one sheet material cut into a rectangular shape from both upper and lower surfaces and conveys the sheet material in a roll shape. The operation of each of the above means is controlled by a control means (not shown) including an electric circuit section.

As shown in FIG. 2, a front plate 1 of this rolled hand towel manufacturing apparatus is provided with an operation section 2 provided with a plurality of operation keys and a display. Below the front plate 1, a front cover 3 also serving as a saucer is provided so as to be able to move forward around a shaft 3a which is installed at a substantially lowermost end. Only when the device is used, the saucer / front cover 3 can be tilted forward to open the hand towel supply port 5 as shown in FIG. Further, the top cover 4 is detachable so that the user can easily replace the towel roll 11 and replenish the water in the water tank 31.

Next, referring to FIGS. 1 and 3 to 6, the structure of each means of the apparatus for producing a rolled towel will be described in more detail.

(I) Roll holding means 10 An arcuate bottom wall 13a is provided between both side support plates 12 which are erected so as to be opposed to the insides of both side plates 6, and which has an upper surface lid 4 A towel roll storage chamber 13 whose upper side is open is formed in a state where the towel roll storage chamber 13 is removed. Towel roll 11
A belt-shaped sheet material is wound in a roll around a cylindrical core made of paper or plastic. Substantially W-shaped grooves 14 each having an arcuate bottom surface are formed in the both side support plates 12, and the front auxiliary groove 14b is provided at a position slightly higher than the rear holder support groove 14a.
The towel roll 11 is mounted so that the protrusions on both sides of the roll holder 11b inserted into the core of the towel roll 11 fit into the holder support grooves 14a on both sides. On the bottom surface of the holder support groove 14a, a movable piece 15a projects upward and a small switch 15 is embedded. The upper part of the front wall of the towel roll storage chamber 13 is a sheet material guide portion 13b which is bent forward and extends substantially horizontally.

(II) Feeding means 20 A feeding roller 21 is provided below the leading end of the sheet material guide portion 13b.
Are laid substantially horizontally between the side support plates 12. The rotation shaft 22 of the feeding roller 21 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction (direction of arrow E in FIG. 3) by a motor and a rotation transmission mechanism (not shown). A plurality of rubber rings 21a protruding in the radial direction are provided around the feeding roller 21 at predetermined intervals in the extending direction of the rotating shaft 22 (see FIG. 5). Further, a pressing member 23 that rotates within a predetermined range around a shaft 23a attached to the both side support plates 12 is provided so as to cover the upper and the front of the feeding roller 21. The pressing member 23 is biased by the torsion coil spring 23b toward the feeding roller 21 with an appropriate force, whereby the lower surface of the pressing member 23 comes into contact with the ring 21a of the feeding roller 21 and lightly presses it. In addition, a fixed guide plate 24 that is inclined forward is provided below the front of the feeding roller 21 to help the sheet material droop and move without being caught in the lower side of the feeding roller 21.

A characteristic feature of this embodiment is that the ring 21a of the feeding roller 21 is provided on the lower surface of the upper portion of the pressing member 23.
An abutting member 232 extending in the width direction is provided on the surface facing the upper end (that is, the portion that abuts on the ring 21a when the sheet material 11a is not present) so as to be slightly protruding downward and be detachable. That is, the pressing member 23 is formed of a relatively soft material having high moldability such as acrylic resin, but the concave portion 231 is formed in the contact portion, and the contact member made of metal such as aluminum is formed therein. 232
Are fitted and the screws 233 are screwed from both ends to fix the contact member 232. Since the attachment position of the contact member 232 is a position facing the upper end of the ring 21a and the contact member 232 slightly projects downward,
It is mainly the lower surface of the contact member 232 that strongly contacts the sheet material 11a by the biasing force of the coil spring 23b. Therefore, when the sheet material 11a travels, even if the sheet material 11a receives friction due to sliding of the sheet material 11a depending on the position of the ring 21a, the lower surface of the contact member 232 is less likely to be worn. Also, even if it wears out due to long-term use,
Only the contact member 232 may be removed and replaced with a new one.

(III) Watering means 30 At the rear of the towel roll accommodating chamber 13, there is formed a tank accommodating chamber 32 for holding the water tank 31 in an inverted state and having an open upper part. When the water tank 31 is inverted and attached to the tank storage chamber 32, the water supply port 31a is opened, and the water in the water tank 31 is recessed 32a at the bottom of the tank storage chamber 32.
Is discharged to. At this time, the water level sensor 32b rising from the bottom surface of the recess 32a detects the water level in the recess 32a. A suction pipe 33a of the pump 33 is provided at the bottom of the recess 32a.
Is connected, and the discharge port of the pump 33 is connected to the temperature adjustment unit 35 and the injection amount adjustment unit 36 via the water supply pipe 34. The temperature control unit 35 holds a predetermined amount of water therein and heats or cools the water. Below the fixed blade holder 41, a water receiving wall 38 having a plurality of grooves extending in the vertical direction formed on the surface thereof is inclinedly arranged. Further, in front of the water receiving wall 38, a water sprinkling pipe 37 having a plurality of injection holes toward the water receiving wall 38 is provided so as to extend between the side support plates 12 and is jetted from the water sprinkling pipe 37. The amount of water to be supplied can be adjusted by the injection amount adjusting unit 36.

(IV) Cutting means 40 A fixed blade holder 41 is provided between the side support plates 12 just below the feeding roller 21, and the fixed blade holder 41 is provided.
Fixed blades 42, which are longer on both sides than the width of the sheet material, are attached to the front of the sheet. The fixed blade holder 41 is
The both side support plates 12 are biased forward by springs (not shown). On the other hand, at a position facing the fixed blade 42 with the sheet material hanging from the feeding roller 21 interposed therebetween, a rotary blade holder 43 is rotatably installed substantially horizontally between the side support plates 12.

The rotary blade 44 is attached so as to extend in the axial direction at a predetermined angle with respect to the rotary shaft of the rotary blade holder 43. When the rotary blade holder 43 is rotated when cutting the sheet material, the rotary blade 44 is rotated. 44 advances toward the other end side while sequentially abutting the fixed blade 42 from one end in the axial direction. As a result, the sheet material sandwiched between the two is cut substantially horizontally. At this time, when the rotary blade 44 comes into contact with the fixed blade 42, the fixed blade holder 41 is pushed backward against the force of the spring urging the fixed blade holder 41 and slightly retracts. This allows
Unnecessary force is applied to the rotary blade 44 and the fixed blade 42 to prevent the blade from being damaged.

A cam 4 having a predetermined shape is provided at the end of the rotary shaft of the rotary blade holder 43 projecting outward from one side support plate 12.
5 and a timing cam 46, a part of which is recessed toward the inner peripheral side, is attached. The pressing member 23 is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the cam 45.
The lower end protrusion 23c of the rotary blade is close to the rotary blade holder 43.
When the cam rotates and the protruding portion of the cam 45 reaches the upper side, it abuts against the lower end projecting piece 23c and pushes it up. Then,
The pressing member 23 rotates in the counterclockwise direction (direction of arrow G in FIG. 3) about the shaft 23a. As a result, the lower end edge piece of the pressing member 23 extending in the horizontal direction comes into contact with the sheet material that hangs forward (to the right in FIGS. 1 and 3), and pushes it up slightly rearward and upward.

The contact position of the pressing member 23 is slightly above the cutting position, and by pushing the sheet material, the sheet material hanging down from the contact position is tensioned.
The above cutting can be performed neatly. In addition, the pressing member 23
Is rotated as described above, the ring 2 of the feeding roller 21
The force pressing the 1a is released, and the sheet material above the contact position is pulled slightly downward, conversely. For this reason, even if a slight distortion occurs in the feeding of the sheet material by the feeding means 20 due to the imbalance of the feeding in the left-right direction, it is corrected.

A movable piece of the switch 47 is fixed to the outer peripheral edge of the timing cam 46 so as to come into contact therewith. When the rotary blade holder 43 rotates and the concave portion of the timing cam 46 reaches the movable piece of the switch 47, The movable piece operates to open the contact of the switch 47. As a result, it is detected that the fed sheet material reaches the predetermined position, and the sprinkling pipe 3
The timing of water injection from 7 is determined.

(V) Forming means 50 Below the water receiving wall 38, an endless belt 53 having a predetermined width is wound around two rollers 51 and 52 rotatably provided between the support plates 12 on both sides. The conveyor is installed so as to incline downward from the front side toward the rear side. The rotation shaft of the lower drive roller 51 is rotationally driven in the clockwise direction (direction of arrow H in FIG. 4) by a motor and a rotation transmission mechanism (not shown), and the upper driven roller 52 is endless as the drive roller 51 rotates. It rotates in the same direction via the belt 53.

A fixed belt 54 is provided outside the endless belt 53 on the lower side of the conveyer with a proper gap from the endless belt 53. At the upper end of the fixed belt 54, that is, on the inlet side in the transport direction, the gap between the endless belt 53 gradually narrows as it inclines downward, and the gap increases at the connecting portion with the fixed belt 54. 55 is provided also as a blanket for fixing the upper end of the fixing belt 54.

The endless belt 53 is made of synthetic resin or hard rubber, for example, and has a relatively small flexure. On the other hand, the fixed belt 54 is made of, for example, soft rubber and has a relatively large flexure. A large number of substantially conical projections 54a are formed in the width direction and the conveyance direction inside the fixed belt 54 (the surface facing the endless belt 53). When the sheet material is sandwiched between the endless belt 53 and the fixed belt 54 and conveyed, the protrusion 54a of the fixed belt 54 is pressed against the upper surface of the sheet material with an appropriate force.

At the end of the fixed belt 54, that is, near the exit side in the transport direction, a metal guide plate 56 has a gap between the endless belt 53 and a gap about the same as the gap between the endless belt 53 and the fixed belt 54. Are arranged. The guide plate 56 is
It is attached to a guide plate support 57 fixed to the side support plates 12 while being biased upward by a spring. Also,
The upper end of the guide plate 56 (that is, the exit side of the endless belt 53 in the transport direction) is bent obliquely downward toward the hand towel supply port 5.

Next, the operation of the rolled hand towel manufacturing apparatus of this embodiment having the above-mentioned structure will be described in accordance with the procedure until one rolled hand towel is provided.

Towel roll 1 in the towel roll storage chamber 13
When No. 1 is not mounted, the movable piece 15a of the switch 15 pops out upward, and the contact of the switch 15 is opened. When the towel roll 11 is mounted, the outer protrusion of the roll holder 11b presses the movable piece 15a. Then, the contact of the switch 15 is closed. From this, it is detected that the towel roll 11 is attached.

The user pulls out the leading end of the sheet material 11a from the towel roll 11 and rotates the holding member 23 so that the holding member 23 is separated from the feeding roller 21, and the leading end portion of the sheet material 11a is fed. It is placed on 21 and the pressing member 23 is lowered. Since the pressing member 23 is biased by the torsion coil spring 23b as described above, the sheet material 11a is sandwiched between the lower surface of the pressing member 23, specifically, the lower surface of the contact member 232 and the ring 21a of the feeding roller 21. To be done. On the other hand, in the tank storage chamber 32, for example, a water tank 31 filled with water containing a sterilizing component is stored upside down as shown in FIG.

When the user presses the hand towel supply button 2a on the operation portion 2 with the towel roll 11 and the water tank 31 set in this way, a feeding motor (not shown) is driven to cause the feeding roller 21 to move to the position shown in FIG. It rotates in the direction of arrow E in 3. The leading end of the sheet material 11a is the feeding roller 21.
Is sandwiched between the ring 21a and the contact member 232, and the lower surface of the contact member 232 is relatively smooth, while the ring 21a exerts a relatively large frictional force.
give to a. Therefore, as the feeding roller 21 rotates,
The sheet material 11a is fed from the horizontal front side to the substantially vertical lower side. Then, it passes through the gap between the pressing member 23 and the fixed guide plate 24, and is further fed to the gap between the fixed blade 42 and the rotary blade holder 43. Therefore, when the towel roll 11 is replaced, the user only needs to lightly pull out the tip of the sheet material 11a and place it on the feeding roller 21, and then the sheet material 11a is automatically set in an appropriate feeding path. To be done.

The length of the sheet material fed by one operation of the hand towel supply button 2a, that is, the number of rotations of the feeding roller 21 is predetermined. Therefore, the sheet material 11
The leading end of a is hung down through the gap between the fixed blade 42 and the rotary blade holder 43, and stops when it reaches a predetermined position determined by the number of rotations of the feed roller 21. As described above, since the pressing of the sheet material 11a by the pressing member 23 is stable, the sheet material is not clogged or the dimensions are not uniform during feeding. Further, when the contact member 232 is worn, it may be replaced with a new one, and the sheet material can be constantly pulled out and fed stably even after long-term use.

With the rotation of the feeding roller 21, the rotary blade holder 43 rotates in the clockwise direction (the direction of arrow F in FIG. 3) in synchronization with the rotation of the feeding roller 21. Sheet material 11
When the tip end of “a” reaches the rotation position where it reaches the front of the sprinkling pipe 37, the concave portion of the timing cam 46 reaches the movable piece of the switch 47, and the switch 47 opens. As a result, the pump 33 is driven, and the water sucked from the water tank 31 passes through the water supply pipe 34 and the temperature control unit 35.
Sent to. Due to this water pressure, the stored water inside the temperature adjustment unit 35 is pressure-fed to the sprinkling pipe 37 via the injection amount adjustment unit 36.

Since the stored water inside the temperature control unit 35 is heated or cooled in advance according to the setting by the user,
Hot water or cold water is sprayed from the spray holes of the water spray pipe 37 toward the sheet material 11a. As the sheet material 11a is fed, the position on the sheet material 11a on which water falls is sequentially moved, so that it is necessary to form one rolled hand towel.
The entire sheet material is evenly wet. The water that has not been applied to the sheet material 11a or that has dripted from the sheet material 11a hits the water receiving wall 38, flows down along the groove thereof, and drops onto the endless belt 53 below.

The lower end of the sheet material 11a comes into contact with the surface of the water receiving wall 38 and hangs down along the surface of the water receiving wall 38, and the protruding piece 38a protruding from the lower end of the water receiving wall 38 regulates the hanging down so that the sheet material 11a falls forward. It bends in a V-shape (see FIG. 7A). When the sheet material 11a hangs down by a predetermined length, the cam 45 just pushes up the lower end projecting piece 23c of the pressing member 23. As a result, the pressing member 23 rotates about the shaft 23a in the direction of the arrow G, temporarily suspends the feeding of the sheet material 11a, and pushes the hanging sheet material 11a backward to give tension. Immediately after that, the rotary blade 44 sequentially contacts the fixed blade 42 from one end portion toward the other end, and the sheet material 11a is cut substantially horizontally.

The sheet material 11a cut into a predetermined length slides down along the water receiving wall 38 onto the endless belt 53, and at this time, the lower edge of the sheet material 11a is a protrusion 38 of the water receiving wall 38.
In the state of being bent by a, it falls onto the endless belt 53 (see FIGS. 7B and 7C). The endless belt 53 runs at a constant speed in the direction of the arrow M, and
a is conveyed in the order in which it is placed on the endless belt 53. When the leading end of the sheet material 11a passes through the narrow gap between the regulation plate 55 and the endless belt 53, the upper surface of the bent portion comes into contact with the regulation plate 55 and is crushed and folded back, and at the same time, the regulation plate 5
Immediately after passing through the regulation plate 55 by the friction from 5, the endless belt 53 is bent in a direction away from the endless belt 53 (see FIG. 8A). Then, the fixed belt 54 located forward of the traveling direction
When it comes into contact with, it is rolled into a roll shape with the folded portion as the core (see FIG. 8B).

Since the fixed belt 54 is formed with a protrusion 54a and the protrusion 54a presses the outer surface of the sheet material to be wound, slipping is suppressed and reliable winding is achieved. In this way, the gap between the fixed belt 54 and the endless belt 53 is appropriately widened by the self-weight of the hand towel sheet S wound in a roll and its mechanical pressing force, and the hand towel sheet S is conveyed forward while rolling. .

Finally, as shown in FIG. 8 (c), the hand towel sheet S reaches the upper end of the guide plate 56 while rolling, and falls as indicated by arrow J. Since the hand towel supply port 5 is opened below the hand towel supply port S, the hand towel sheet S drops from the hand towel supply port 5 onto the saucer / front lid 3 below.

By the above series of operations, one rolled hand towel is provided. The operation unit 2 is provided with a button for setting the number of rolled hand towels to be provided, and when the provision of two or more rolled hand towels is set by operating the button, the above operation is performed according to the number. Repeated continuously,
A predetermined number of rolled towels are completed.

The above embodiment is merely an example, and it is obvious that appropriate changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention.
