Description

この発明は、布類洗濯工場等において洗濯した布類を一枚ずつ展張して次工程に送るために一対の展張クランプで布類の隣り合う角部をそれぞれ把持してその布類の前記角部間の上辺部を左右方向に展張し、その上辺部を展張した布類を後方に搬出する布類展張装置に用いられ、投入された布類を一枚ずつ搬送してその布類の隣り合う角部を前記一対の展張クランプに引き渡す布類供給装置に関するものである。 In the present invention, in order to spread the cloth washed in a cloth washing factory or the like one by one and send it to the next step, the adjacent corners of the cloth are gripped by a pair of stretching clamps, and the corners of the cloth are held. It is used in a cloth stretching device that stretches the upper side between the parts in the left-right direction and carries out the cloth that stretches the upper side to the rear. It relates to a cloth supply device that delivers the matching corners to the pair of extension clamps.

従来の布類展張装置としては、例えば本願の出願人が先に開示した特許文献1記載のものが知られており、この布類展張装置は、布類の投入部と、投入された布類を左右に展張する展張部と、展張された布類を搬出する搬出部とを備えている。投入部はこの布類展張装置の前部に左右方向に間隔をあけて複数個所設けられ、各々、投入位置で布類の隣り合う角部を把持する一対の投入クランプと、その一対の投入クランプを投入位置とそれより上方の受渡し位置との間で昇降移動させる昇降装置とを有している。 As a conventional cloth stretching device, for example, the one described in Patent Document 1 previously disclosed by the applicant of the present application is known, and this cloth stretching device includes a cloth loading section and a loaded cloth. It is equipped with an extension section that stretches the cloth to the left and right, and a carry-out section that carries out the stretched cloth. A pair of loading clamps for gripping adjacent corners of the cloth at the loading position and a pair of loading clamps are provided at a plurality of loading portions on the front portion of the cloth spreading device at intervals in the left-right direction. It has an elevating device that moves up and down between the loading position and the delivery position above it.

展張部は、各投入部の受渡し位置でその一対の投入クランプから布類の隣り合う角部を受け取って把持する一対の展張クランプと、その一対の展張クランプを一緒に横行させて各投入部の受渡し位置で一対の展張クランプに布類の隣り合う角部を把持させた後その一対の展張クランプを互いの離間方向に横行させてその布類を左右方向に広げる横行装置とを有している。そして搬出部は、左右方向に広げられた布類の上辺部を展張クランプから中間移動体を介して受け取って後方へ引き込むとともに布類の上辺部よりも下側の残り部分も順次に引き上げて布類全体を後方に搬出するベルトコンベヤを有している。 The extension part is a pair of extension clamps that receive and grip adjacent corners of cloth from the pair of input clamps at the delivery position of each input part, and the pair of extension clamps are traversed together to form each input part. It has a traversing device that spreads the cloth in the left-right direction by allowing the pair of stretch clamps to grip the adjacent corners of the cloth at the delivery position and then traversing the pair of stretch clamps in the direction away from each other. .. Then, the carry-out part receives the upper side of the cloth spread in the left-right direction from the extension clamp via the intermediate moving body and pulls it backward, and also pulls up the remaining part below the upper side of the cloth in order to make the cloth.

しかしながら上記特許文献1記載の従来の布類展張装置では、横行装置が、一対の展張クランプを複数個所の投入部の各々の受け渡し位置に一緒に移動させてそれらの展張クランプに布類の隣り合う角部を把持させた後、その一対の展張クランプを互いの離間方向に横行させて布類を左右方向に広げるので、投入から展張までの動作時間を短縮して処理効率を十分に高めるのが未だ困難であった。 However, in the conventional cloth stretching device described in Patent Document 1, the traversing device moves a pair of stretching clamps together to each delivery position of a plurality of loading portions, and the cloth is adjacent to the stretching clamps. After gripping the corners, the pair of extension clamps are traversed in the direction away from each other to spread the cloth in the left-right direction, so the operation time from loading to extension is shortened and the processing efficiency is sufficiently improved. It was still difficult.

また、複数種類の布類、特に上辺部の幅が互いに異なる布類を展張する場合に、それらが混在していると、上辺部の幅が大きい布類の展張の際に、一対の投入クランプの所定間隔の受け渡し位置からの一対の展張クランプの移動距離が大きくなって展張に時間がかかり、この点でも、処理効率を十分に高めるのが未だ困難であった。 In addition, when spreading multiple types of cloth, especially cloths with different upper side widths, if they are mixed, a pair of input clamps will be used when spreading cloths with a large upper side width. The moving distance of the pair of extension clamps from the delivery position at a predetermined interval becomes large, and it takes time to extend. In this respect as well, it is still difficult to sufficiently improve the processing efficiency.

そこで、従来の布類展張装置の上記課題を解決するために布類展張装置に布類供給装置から布類を供給することが考えられ、従来の布類供給装置としては、例えば特許文献2に記載されたものが知られている。この布類投入装置は、布類の上辺部の隣り合う角部を把持させた一対のクランプを所定間隔で移送する間にその布類の垂れ下がった上辺部の下端の高さとその布類の最下端の高さをセンサで検出し、それらの高さから求めたその布類の幅と長さからその布類を種類ごとに仕分けして貯留し、種類ごとに処理装置に投入する。 Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional cloth stretching device, it is conceivable to supply the cloth from the cloth supplying device to the cloth stretching device. The ones listed are known. This cloth loading device transfers the pair of clamps holding the adjacent corners of the upper side of the cloth at predetermined intervals, and the height of the lower end of the hanging upper side of the cloth and the maximum of the cloth. The height of the lower end is detected by a sensor, and the cloth is sorted and stored by type based on the width and length of the cloth obtained from those heights, and the cloth is put into the processing device for each type.

また、従来の布類供給装置としては、例えば特許文献3に記載されたものも知られており、この布類投入装置は、複数個所の投入部の各々の投入位置で布類の隣り合う角部を把持した一対の投入クランプを、複数の搬送経路で一旦複数対貯留した後、共通の搬送経路に合流させて搬送し、布類展張装置の近くで一対ずつ分離させて共通の受渡し位置に送るとともに、共通の搬送経路への合流および待機を布類の種類に応じて行って、複数種類の布類の混合処理を回避している。 Further, as a conventional cloth supply device, for example, the one described in Patent Document 3 is also known, and this cloth loading device has adjacent corners of cloth at each loading position of a plurality of loading portions. After storing multiple pairs of loading clamps that grip the parts in multiple transport paths, they are merged into a common transport path and transported, and then paired and separated near the cloth spreading device to a common delivery position. In addition to sending, merging and waiting for a common transport path are performed according to the type of cloth, avoiding the mixing process of multiple types of cloth.

しかしながら、これら従来の布類供給装置で布類を種類ごとに仕分けして布類展張装置の一対の展張クランプに布類の角部を受け渡しすることとしても、布類の展張の際の共通の受け渡し位置からの展張クランプの移動距離は、上辺部の幅が大きい布類では依然として大きなものとなり、処理効率を十分高めるのが困難であることが推定された。 However, even if the conventional cloth supply device sorts the cloth by type and hands the corners of the cloth to the pair of stretch clamps of the cloth stretcher, it is common to stretch the cloth. It was estimated that the moving distance of the extension clamp from the delivery position is still large for cloth with a large upper side width, and it is difficult to sufficiently improve the processing efficiency.

It is characterized by having.

この発明の布類供給装置にあっては、布類の上辺部の隣り合う角部をそれぞれ投入されて把持する一対の搬送クランプが、所定間隔で平行に延在する二経路の計測経路を横並びで通り、その二経路の計測経路を横並びで通る一対の搬送クランプでそれぞれ把持した前記布類の角部間の上辺部の弛み程度を弛みセンサが計測し、布類分類供給制御手段が、布類の角部を把持している一対の搬送クランプを、二経路の計測経路からそれぞれ分岐する、上辺部の弛み程度に応じて定められた複数経路の弛み別供給経路のうちのその布類の上辺部の弛み程度に対応する二経路の弛み別供給経路にそれぞれ通して、複数経路の弛み別供給経路のうち、一対の搬送クランプを通した二経路の弛み別供給経路に対応して位置させた一対の展張クランプに、それら一対の搬送クランプから前記布類の角部を引き渡す。 In the cloth supply device of the present invention, a pair of transport clamps that insert and grip adjacent corners of the upper side of the cloth side by side two measurement paths extending in parallel at predetermined intervals. The slack sensor measures the degree of slack in the upper side between the corners of the cloth gripped by a pair of transport clamps that pass through the measurement paths of the two paths side by side. The pair of transport clamps that grip the corners of the type are branched from the measurement paths of the two paths, and the cloth of the cloth is out of the multiple paths of the supply path for each slack, which are determined according to the degree of slack in the upper side. By passing through each of the two slack supply paths corresponding to the degree of slack in the upper side, it is positioned corresponding to the two slack supply paths through the pair of transport clamps among the multiple slack supply paths. The corners of the cloth are delivered from the pair of transport clamps to the pair of extension clamps.

従って、この発明の布類供給装置によれば、所定間隔で平行に延在する二経路の計測経路を横並びで通る一対の搬送クランプでそれぞれ把持した布類の角部間の上辺部の弛み程度を弛みセンサで計測した結果に基づき、その弛み程度から上辺部の幅が推測される種類の布類について、その弛み程度に応じて定められた複数経路の弛み別供給経路のうちのその布類の上辺部の弛み程度に対応する二経路の弛み別供給経路にそれぞれ通して、対応位置に配置した展張クランプにそれらの角部を引き渡すので、布類を展張する際の展張クランプの移動距離を布類の上辺部の幅の大小ひいては布類の種類の違いにかかわらず小さくして展張時間を短縮し、処理効率を十分に高めることができる。 Therefore, according to the cloth supply device of the present invention, the degree of slack in the upper side between the corners of the cloth gripped by a pair of transport clamps that pass side by side through two measurement paths extending in parallel at predetermined intervals. Based on the result measured by the slack sensor, for the type of cloth whose upper side width is estimated from the degree of slack, the cloth among the multiple slack supply routes determined according to the degree of slack. Since those corners are handed over to the extension clamps placed at the corresponding positions through the two slack-separated supply paths corresponding to the degree of slack in the upper side, the movement distance of the extension clamp when extending the cloth can be determined. The width of the upper side of the cloth can be made smaller regardless of the type of cloth, the spreading time can be shortened, and the processing efficiency can be sufficiently improved.

なお、この発明の布類供給装置においては、前記二経路の計測経路がそれぞれ下向きに分岐して前記複数経路の弛み別供給経路となっていてもよい。 In the cloth supply device of the present invention, the measurement paths of the two paths may be branched downward to serve as the slack-separated supply paths of the plurality of paths.

このようにすれば、計測経路から複数経路の弛み別供給経路への分岐のための工場の床面積を殆ど必要としないので、布類の供給スペースの効率を高めて設備コストを低減させることができる。 In this way, almost no factory floor area is required for branching from the measurement path to the slack-separated supply path of multiple paths, so that the efficiency of the cloth supply space can be improved and the equipment cost can be reduced. can.

ここで、前記二経路の計測経路がそれぞれ分岐する前記弛み別供給経路は、外側供給経路と内側供給経路との二経路であってもよい。 Here, the slack-separated supply path to which the measurement paths of the two paths branch from each other may be two paths, an outer supply path and an inner supply path.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view seen from part A in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a configuration example of only the supply rail line among the rail lines of the cloth supply device of the above embodiment, and FIG. 4 is the above-mentioned embodiment. It is a top view which shows one configuration example of only the recovery rail line among the rail lines of the cloth supply apparatus of the form.

この実施形態の布類供給装置を用いる布類展張装置1は、布類洗濯工場等において、洗濯した布類を次工程の例えばアイロンローラに投入するために一枚ずつ展張するもので、図1に断面図、図2に正面図、図3,4に平面図で例示するように、従来の布類の投入部に代えて布類展張装置1の前方に配置された上記実施形態の布類供給装置10と、投入された布類を左右に展張する展張部2と、展張された布類を搬出する搬出部3とを具えており、展張部2と搬出部3とは、前述した従来の布類展張装置におけると同様に構成されている。 The cloth stretching device 1 using the cloth supplying device of this embodiment stretches the washed cloth one by one in order to put the washed cloth into, for example, an iron roller in the next step, for example, in a cloth washing factory. As illustrated in the cross section in FIG. 2, the front view in FIG. 2, and the plan view in FIGS. It is equipped with a supply device 10, an extension section 2 that extends the loaded cloth to the left and right, and a carry-out section 3 that carries out the stretched cloth. It is configured in the same way as in the cloth stretching device of.

すなわち、展張部2は、所定の受渡し位置で一対の搬送クランプから布類Cの隣り合う角部を受け取って把持する一対の展張クランプ2aと、その一対の展張クランプ2aを一緒に横行させて上記の受渡し位置で一対の展張クランプ2aに布類Cの隣り合う角部を把持させた後その一対の展張クランプ2aを互いの離間方向に横行させてその布類Cを左右方向に広げる横行装置2bとを有している。そして搬出部3は、左右方向に広げられた布類Cの上辺部を前進位置で展張クランプ2aから受け取って負圧により上面上に展張状態で吸着保持する中間移動体としてのキャッチベース3aと、そのキャッチベース3aの後退移動と負圧の除去に伴い、左右方向に広げられた布類Cの上辺部を受け取って負圧により吸着保持しつつ後方へ引き込むとともに、布類Cの上辺部よりも下側の残り部分も順次に引き上げて布類C全体を後方に搬出するベルトコンベヤ3bとを有している。 That is, in the extension portion 2, the pair of extension clamps 2a that receive and grip the adjacent corners of the cloth C from the pair of transfer clamps at a predetermined delivery position and the pair of extension clamps 2a are traversed together. After the pair of extension clamps 2a grip the adjacent corners of the cloth C at the delivery position, the pair of extension clamps 2a are traversed in the direction away from each other to spread the cloth C in the left-right direction. And have. Then, the carry-out portion 3 receives the upper side portion of the cloth C spread in the left-right direction from the extension clamp 2a at the forward position, and has a catch base 3a as an intermediate moving body that sucks and holds the upper side portion on the upper surface in an extended state by negative pressure. As the catch base 3a moves backward and the negative pressure is removed, the upper side of the cloth C spread in the left-right direction is received, attracted and held by the negative pressure, and pulled backward, and more than the upper side of the cloth C. It also has a belt conveyor 3b that sequentially pulls up the remaining portion on the lower side and carries out the entire cloth C to the rear.

一方、上記実施形態の布類供給装置10は、各々スプリングで付勢されて閉じるレバー形の爪と走行ローラとを有する一対の搬送クランプ11にそれぞれ投入された布類Cの隣り合う角部をそれらの搬送クランプ11でそれぞれ把持して搬送するための共通の搬送経路12と、その共通の搬送経路12から布類展張装置1の前方で左右に分岐して所定間隔LMで互いに平行に延在する二経路の計測経路13と、共通の搬送経路12から順次に外れてその二経路の計測経路13を左右に並んで通る一対の搬送クランプ11でそれぞれ把持した布類Cの角部間の上辺部の弛み程度の大小を例えば受光量の多少で光学的に計測し、ON-OFF信号で出力する弛みセンサ14と、それら二経路の計測経路13からそれぞれ分岐した、弛み別供給経路としての二経路の内側供給経路15および二経路の外側供給経路16と、布類分類供給制御手段としての、通常のコンピュータを有するコントローラ17と、を具えており、それら共通の搬送経路12と計測経路13と内側供給経路15と外側供給経路16とは、例えば下向き面の中央部が長手方向に沿って切り欠かれた断面略コ字状のレールで各々形成されて供給レールライン18を構成し、計測経路13から内側供給経路15および外側供給経路16への分岐点には、通常の切り替え機構19が設けられている。 On the other hand, the cloth supply device 10 of the above-described embodiment has adjacent corners of the cloth C loaded into a pair of transport clamps 11 having a lever-shaped claw and a traveling roller, each of which is urged by a spring to close. A common transport path 12 for gripping and transporting each of these transport clamps 11 and a common transport path 12 branching left and right in front of the cloth spreading device 1 and extending in parallel with each other at a predetermined interval LM. The upper side between the corners of the cloth C gripped by the pair of transport clamps 11 that sequentially deviate from the common transport path 12 and pass through the measurement paths 13 of the two paths side by side. For example, the slack sensor 14 that optically measures the magnitude of the slack of the part by the amount of light received and outputs it as an ON-OFF signal, and the slack sensor 14 that is branched from the measurement paths 13 of these two paths, respectively, as a supply path for each slack. It is equipped with an inner supply route 15 of the route, an outer supply route 16 of two routes, and a controller 17 having a normal computer as a cloth classification supply control means, and a common transport route 12 and a measurement route 13 thereof. The inner supply path 15 and the outer supply path 16 are formed by, for example, rails having a substantially U-shaped cross section in which the central portion of the downward surface is cut out along the longitudinal direction to form the supply rail line 18, and the measurement path is formed. A normal switching mechanism 19 is provided at the branch point from the 13 to the inner supply path 15 and the outer supply path 16.

ここで、二経路の内側供給経路15は所定間隔L1で互いに平行に延在し、二経路の外側供給経路16はL1よりも大きい所定間隔L2で互いに平行に延在し、内側供給経路15および外側供給経路16は各々、計測経路13に繋がる下降経路と、布類展張装置1の展張部2に対向する上昇経路との下端部同士を円弧状の連結部で繋いだ略U字状をなしており、下降経路では搬送クランプ11はその自重およびそこに把持した布類Cの重量による重力で走行移動するが、連結部から上昇経路の上端部にかけては、例えば従来の投入部におけると同様、経路の側部に沿わせて配置した無端のタイミングベルトをサーボモータやステップモータ等で駆動するとともに、そのタイミングベルトにその延在方向に並べて突設した多数のピンの何れかを搬送クランプ11に掛合させることで搬送クランプ11を駆動する図示しない駆動機構が設けられて搬送クランプ11の移動を制御している。 Here, the inner supply paths 15 of the two paths extend parallel to each other at a predetermined interval L1, and the outer supply paths 16 of the two paths extend parallel to each other at a predetermined interval L2 larger than L1, and the inner supply paths 15 and Each of the outer supply paths 16 has a substantially U-shape in which the lower ends of the descending path connected to the measurement path 13 and the ascending path facing the stretched portion 2 of the cloth stretching device 1 are connected by an arc-shaped connecting portion. In the descending path, the transport clamp 11 travels by gravity due to its own weight and the weight of the cloth C gripped therein, but from the connecting portion to the upper end portion of the ascending path, for example, as in the conventional loading portion. An endless timing belt arranged along the side of the path is driven by a servomotor, a step motor, or the like, and one of a large number of pins projecting along the extending direction of the timing belt is attached to the transport clamp 11. A drive mechanism (not shown) for driving the transfer clamp 11 by engaging with the transfer clamp 11 is provided to control the movement of the transfer clamp 11.

そしてコントローラ17は、弛みセンサ14からのON(受光量多)信号を受けると上記上辺部の弛み程度が大きい方の布類Cであると判断して、その布類Cの角部を把持している一対の搬送クランプ11を切り替え機構19によって二経路の計測経路13から左右二経路の外側供給経路16にそれぞれ通す一方、弛みセンサ14からOFF(受光量少)信号を受けると上記上辺部の弛み程度が小さい方の布類Cであると判断して、その布類Cの角部を把持している一対の搬送クランプ11を切り替え機構19によって二経路の計測経路13から左右二経路の内側供給経路15にそれぞれ通し、さらに、その切り替え機構19を通った搬送クランプ11の数と布類展張装置1の展張クランプ2aの展張動作の回数とから内側供給経路15および外側供給経路16に残っている搬送クランプ11の数を判断して、布類展張装置1に、それら一対の搬送クランプ11を通した各々左右二経路の外側供給経路16または内側供給経路15のうち搬送クランプ11が残っている方の供給経路の左右二経路の上昇経路に対向させて一対の展張クランプ2aを配置させるとともに、搬送クランプ11が残っている方の供給経路の下降経路に図示しない通常の掛止機構で掛止されている先頭の一対の搬送クランプ11を解放して上昇経路に送り、上記駆動機構で駆動されて上昇経路を通って上昇移動する一対の搬送クランプ11から一対の展張クランプ2aに布類Cの上辺部の互いに隣り合う角部を引き渡す。 Then, when the controller 17 receives the ON (high light receiving amount) signal from the slack sensor 14, it determines that the cloth C has a larger degree of slack in the upper side portion, and grips the corner portion of the cloth C. The pair of transport clamps 11 are passed through the two-path measurement path 13 to the left and right two-path outer supply paths 16 by the switching mechanism 19, and when an OFF (light receiving amount) signal is received from the slack sensor 14, the upper side portion thereof. It is determined that the cloth C has a smaller degree of slack, and the pair of transport clamps 11 gripping the corners of the cloth C are switched from the measurement path 13 of the two paths to the inside of the two left and right paths by the switching mechanism 19. It remains in the inner supply path 15 and the outer supply path 16 due to the number of transport clamps 11 that have passed through the supply paths 15 and the switching mechanism 19 and the number of expansion operations of the extension clamp 2a of the cloth extension device 1. The number of the transfer clamps 11 is determined, and the transfer clamp 11 of the outer supply path 16 or the inner supply path 15 of each of the two left and right paths passed through the pair of transfer clamps 11 remains in the cloth stretching device 1. A pair of extension clamps 2a are arranged so as to face the ascending paths of the two left and right paths of the supply path, and the transfer clamp 11 is hooked by a normal hooking mechanism (not shown) on the descending path of the remaining supply path. From the pair of transport clamps 11 to the pair of extension clamps 2a that are driven by the drive mechanism and move up through the ascending path, the cloth C is sent to the ascending path by releasing the first pair of transport clamps 11. Hand over the adjacent corners of the upper side.

従って、上記実施形態の布類供給装置によれば、一対の展張クランプ2aは次に展張する布類Cの上辺部の幅に対応した位置でその布類Cの角部を受け取るので、布類Cを展張する際の展張クランプ2aの移動距離を布類Cの上辺部の幅の大小にかかわらず小さくして展張時間を短縮し、処理効率を高めることができる。 Therefore, according to the cloth supply device of the above embodiment, the pair of extension clamps 2a receive the corner portion of the cloth C at a position corresponding to the width of the upper side portion of the cloth C to be expanded next. The moving distance of the stretching clamp 2a when stretching C can be reduced regardless of the width of the upper side of the cloth C to shorten the stretching time and improve the processing efficiency.

上記実施形態の布類供給装置10はまた、互いに所定間隔で並行する二経路の投入経路21を有する角部独立投入手段としての投入部20を、一または複数個所、図示例では四箇所に具え、各投入部20における二経路の投入経路21は各々、内側供給経路15および外側供給経路16におけると同様、布類展張装置1から遠い側に位置する下降経路と、布類展張装置1に近い側に位置する上昇経路との下端部同士を円弧状の連結部で繋いだ略U字状をなしており、下降経路では搬送クランプ11はその自重による重力で走行移動するが、連結部から上昇経路の上端部にかけては、例えば従来の投入部におけると同様、経路の側部に沿わせて配置した無端のタイミングベルトをサーボモータやステップモータ等で駆動するとともに、そのタイミングベルトにその延在方向に並べて突設した多数のピンの何れかを搬送クランプ11に掛合させることで搬送クランプ11を駆動する図示しない駆動機構が設けられて搬送クランプ11の移動を制御しており、二経路の投入経路21のそれらの駆動機構は互いに独立して作動し、コントローラ17は、作業者Wの、例えば供給コンベヤSでその投入部20に供給されてきた布類の上辺部の幅の種類に応じたスイッチ操作で、それらの駆動機構を順次に起動して、一対の搬送クランプ11をその投入する布類の上辺部の幅の大きさに応じて互いに間隔を空けて上昇させる。 The cloth supply device 10 of the above embodiment also has one or a plurality of charging sections 20 as corner independent feeding means having two feeding paths 21 parallel to each other at predetermined intervals, and four places in the illustrated example. As in the inner supply path 15 and the outer supply path 16, the two-path input path 21 in each loading section 20 has a descending path located far from the cloth stretching device 1 and close to the cloth stretching device 1, respectively. It has a substantially U-shape in which the lower ends of the ascending path located on the side are connected to each other by an arc-shaped connecting portion. To the upper end of the path, for example, as in the conventional input section, an endless timing belt arranged along the side of the path is driven by a servomotor, a step motor, etc., and the timing belt extends in the extending direction. A drive mechanism (not shown) for driving the transport clamp 11 by engaging any of a large number of pins projecting side by side with the transport clamp 11 is provided to control the movement of the transport clamp 11 and controls the movement of the transport clamp 11. The drive mechanisms of 21 operate independently of each other, and the controller 17 is a switch according to the width type of the upper side of the cloth supplied to the input portion 20 of the worker W, for example, by the supply conveyor S. By operation, these drive mechanisms are sequentially activated to raise the pair of transport clamps 11 at intervals from each other according to the size of the width of the upper side of the cloth to be loaded.

従って、上記実施形態の布類供給装置によれば、投入する布類の上辺部の幅の大きさに応じて、投入経路21の下端部で一対の搬送クランプ11の一方に一方の角部を把持させた後に、その搬送クランプ11の上昇移動によって一方の角部が引き上げられることで発見し易くなった布類Cの他方の角部を投入経路21の下端部で他方の搬送クランプ11に把持させることができるので、布類Cの投入効率を高めることができる。 Therefore, according to the cloth supply device of the above embodiment, one corner of the pair of transport clamps 11 is provided at the lower end of the loading path 21 according to the width of the upper side of the cloth to be loaded. After gripping, the other corner of the cloth C, which is easy to find because one corner is pulled up by the ascending movement of the transport clamp 11, is gripped by the other transport clamp 11 at the lower end of the feeding path 21. Therefore, it is possible to increase the charging efficiency of the cloth C.

各投入部20における二経路の投入経路21は、それらの上昇経路の上端部で互いに合流して前下がりに傾斜した一経路の貯留経路22に繋がり、その一経路の貯留経路22は、平面視で略U字状をなす共通の搬送経路12に合流し、貯留経路22では搬送クランプ11はその自重およびそこに把持した布類Cの重量による重力で走行移動するが、共通の搬送経路12では、経路の下部に沿わせて配置した無端のタイミングベルト23をサーボモータやステップモータ等で駆動するとともに、そのタイミングベルト23にその延在方向に並べて突設した多数のピン24の何れかを搬送クランプ11に掛合させることで搬送クランプ11を駆動する駆動機構25が設けられて搬送クランプ11の移動を制御しており、これら各投入部20における二経路の投入経路21および一経路の貯留経路22と共通の搬送経路12とは、これも供給レールライン18を構成する。 The two-path input paths 21 in each input section 20 merge with each other at the upper end of the ascending path and are connected to the one-path storage path 22 inclined forward and downward, and the one-path storage path 22 is viewed in plan. In the storage path 22, the transport clamp 11 travels and moves due to its own weight and the weight of the cloth C gripped there, but in the common transport path 12, it joins the common transport path 12 having a substantially U-shape. The endless timing belt 23 arranged along the lower part of the path is driven by a servomotor, a step motor, or the like, and any of a large number of pins 24 protruding in the extending direction of the timing belt 23 is conveyed. A drive mechanism 25 for driving the transfer clamp 11 by engaging with the clamp 11 is provided to control the movement of the transfer clamp 11, and the two-path feeding path 21 and the one-path storage path 22 in each of these loading sections 20 are controlled. The transport path 12 common to the above also constitutes the supply rail line 18.

ここで、各投入部20の一経路の貯留経路22から共通の搬送経路12への合流点には、一または複数対の搬送クランプ11を貯留経路22に貯留させるとともにそれらの搬送クランプ11のうち先頭の一対の搬送クランプ11を前後並びの状態で共通の搬送経路12に通す図示しない通常の掛止機構が設けられており、コントローラ17は、各種類の布類Cについての作業者Wのスイッチ操作の回数と、共通の搬送経路12での各合流点の下流側近傍に設けられたマイクロスイッチ等の接触式または光センサ等の非接触式の図示しない通過検知器で検知したその合流点を通った搬送クランプ11の数と、それと同様の通過検知器で検知した上記掛止機構を通った搬送クランプ11の数とのデータを入力する。 Here, at the confluence point from the storage path 22 of one path of each input unit 20 to the common transfer path 12, one or a plurality of pairs of transfer clamps 11 are stored in the storage path 22 and among those transfer clamps 11. A normal hooking mechanism (not shown) is provided in which the first pair of transport clamps 11 are passed through the common transport path 12 in a front-to-back state, and the controller 17 is a switch of the operator W for each type of cloth C. The number of operations and the confluence point detected by a contact type such as a micro switch or a non-contact type non-contact type passage detector such as an optical sensor provided near the downstream side of each confluence point in the common transport path 12 are detected. Data of the number of the transfer clamps 11 that have passed and the number of the transfer clamps 11 that have passed through the hooking mechanism detected by the same passage detector are input.

そしてコントローラ17は、それらのデータから貯留経路22に貯留している布類Cの種類とそれを把持する搬送クランプ11の対の順序とを判断して、共通の搬送経路12をその上流側から通って合流点を通過した布類Cの種類(例えばA)と同じ種類の布類が貯留経路22の先頭にある場合は、その合流点の掛止機構で掛止されている先頭の一対の搬送クランプ11を解放して貯留経路22から共通の搬送経路12に通し、共通の搬送経路12をその上流側から通って合流点を通過した布類Cの種類(例えば第1の種類A)と異なる種類(例えば第2の種類B)の布類Cが貯留経路22の先頭にある場合は、先の種類(例えば第1の種類A)がその合流点を通過した後一定時間待って間を空けてからその貯留経路22の先頭の一対の搬送クランプ11を解放するか、その貯留経路22の先頭の布類Cの種類(例えば第2の種類B)と同じ種類の布類Cが共通の搬送経路12をその上流側から通って合流点を通過するまで待ってその先頭の一対の搬送クランプ11を解放して貯留経路22から共通の搬送経路12に通す。 Then, the controller 17 determines from those data the type of the cloth C stored in the storage path 22 and the order of the pair of the transport clamps 11 that grip the cloth C, and sets the common transport path 12 from the upstream side thereof. If the same type of cloth as the type of cloth C (for example, A) that has passed through and passed through the confluence is at the head of the storage path 22, a pair of heads that are hooked by the hooking mechanism at the confluence. With the type of cloth C (for example, the first type A) in which the transport clamp 11 is released, the storage path 22 is passed through the common transport path 12, the common transport path 12 is passed from the upstream side thereof, and the confluence point is passed. If a different type of cloth C (eg, second type B) is at the beginning of the storage path 22, wait a certain amount of time after the previous type (eg, first type A) has passed its confluence. After opening, the pair of transport clamps 11 at the head of the storage path 22 are released, or the cloth C of the same type as the cloth C at the head of the storage path 22 (for example, the second type B) is common. It passes through the transport path 12 from the upstream side, waits until it passes through the confluence, releases the pair of transport clamps 11 at the head thereof, and passes from the storage path 22 to the common transport path 12.

従って、上記実施形態の布類供給装置によれば、第1の種類Aと第2の種類Bとのうち例えば上辺部の幅が同じ第1または第2の種類の布類Cを布類展張装置1の展張クランプ2aによって同じ引き渡し位置から連続して展張処理できるので、布類Cを展張する際の展張クランプ2aの移動距離をさらに小さくして展張時間を短縮し、処理効率を高めることができ、かつ、布類Cを種類ごとに纏めて布類展張装置1から搬出することができる。 Therefore, according to the cloth supply device of the above embodiment, the first or second type of cloth C having the same width of the upper side portion of the first type A and the second type B is stretched. Since the extension clamp 2a of the device 1 can continuously extend the cloth C from the same delivery position, the moving distance of the extension clamp 2a when extending the cloth C can be further reduced to shorten the extension time and improve the processing efficiency. It is possible to carry out the cloth C by the type and carry it out from the cloth spreading device 1.

さらに、この実施形態の布類供給装置においては、二経路の計測経路13がそれぞれ下向きに分岐して、複数経路の弛み別供給経路としての二経路の内側供給経路15および二経路の外側供給経路16となっている。 Further, in the cloth supply device of this embodiment, the measurement paths 13 of the two paths are branched downward, respectively, and the inner supply path 15 of the two paths and the outer supply path of the two paths as the slack-separated supply paths of the plurality of paths are branched. It is 16.

従って、上記実施形態の布類供給装置によれば、計測経路13から内側供給経路15および外側供給経路16への分岐のための工場の床面積を殆ど必要としないので、布類Cの供給スペースの効率を高めて設備コストを低減させることができる。 Therefore, according to the cloth supply device of the above embodiment, since the floor area of the factory for branching from the measurement path 13 to the inner supply path 15 and the outer supply path 16 is hardly required, the supply space of the cloth C is required. It is possible to increase the efficiency of the equipment and reduce the equipment cost.

さらに、この実施形態の布類供給装置は、二経路の内側供給経路15と二経路の外側供給経路16とのそれぞれの上昇経路の上端部に繋がるとともに前下がりに傾斜した四経路の戻り経路26と、それら四経路の戻り経路26が順次に合流した平面視で略U字状をなす共通の戻り経路27と、その共通の戻り経路27から分岐して各投入部20に向かい、さらに各投入部20で二つに分岐して二経路の投入経路21の下降経路の上端部に繋がる前下がりに傾斜した搬送クランプ供給経路28とを具え、戻り経路26および搬送クランプ供給経路28では搬送クランプ11はその自重による重力で走行移動するが、共通の戻り経路27では、経路の上部に沿わせて配置した無端のタイミングベルト29をサーボモータやステップモータ等で駆動するとともに、そのタイミングベルト29にその延在方向に並べて突設した多数のピン30の何れかを搬送クランプ11に掛合させることで搬送クランプ11を駆動する駆動機構31が設けられて搬送クランプ11の移動を制御している。 Further, the cloth supply device of this embodiment is connected to the upper end of each ascending path of the inner supply path 15 of the two paths and the outer supply path 16 of the two paths, and the return path 26 of the four paths inclined forward and downward. A common return path 27 having a substantially U-shape in a plan view in which the return paths 26 of these four paths are sequentially merged, and a branch from the common return path 27 toward each input section 20, and further input. A transport clamp supply path 28 that is branched in two at the portion 20 and is connected to the upper end of the descending path of the input path 21 of the two paths and is inclined forward is provided. In the common return path 27, the endless timing belt 29 arranged along the upper part of the path is driven by a servomotor, a step motor, or the like, and the timing belt 29 is used to drive the timing belt 29. A drive mechanism 31 for driving the transfer clamp 11 by engaging any of a large number of pins 30 projecting side by side in the extending direction with the transfer clamp 11 is provided to control the movement of the transfer clamp 11.

そしてそれら四経路の戻り経路26と共通の戻り経路27と搬送クランプ供給経路28とは、例えば上向き面の中央部が長手方向に沿って切り欠かれた断面略コ字状のレールで各々形成されて回収レールライン32を構成し、共通の戻り経路27から搬送クランプ供給経路28への各分岐点には、共通の戻り経路27での各分岐点の上流側近傍に設けられた上記と同様の図示しない通過検知器が設けられるとともに、切り替え機構19と同様の図示しない通常の切り替え機構が設けられており、コントローラ17は、その通過検知器で検知したその分岐点を通る搬送クランプ11を切り替え機構で1つずつ分離させて、4つの投入部20の搬送クランプ供給経路28に順次に通す。 The return path 27 common to the return path 26 of the four paths and the transfer clamp supply path 28 are each formed of, for example, a rail having a substantially U-shaped cross section in which the central portion of the upward surface is cut out along the longitudinal direction. The recovery rail line 32 is configured, and each branch point from the common return path 27 to the transfer clamp supply path 28 is provided in the vicinity of the upstream side of each branch point in the common return path 27 in the same manner as described above. A passage detector (not shown) is provided, and a normal switching mechanism (not shown) similar to the switching mechanism 19 is provided. The controller 17 switches the transport clamp 11 passing through the branch point detected by the passage detector. Separated one by one with, and sequentially passed through the transport clamp supply path 28 of the four loading portions 20.

従って、上記実施形態の布類供給装置によれば、二経路の内側供給経路15と二経路の外側供給経路16とのそれぞれの上昇経路で布類Cの角部を展張クランプ2aに引き渡した空の搬送クランプ11は、自重による降下で戻り経路26を通って共通の戻り経路27に集合した後、各投入部20の搬送クランプ供給経路28に一対ずつ供給され、それらの搬送クランプ供給経路28から投入経路21の下降経路の上端部に戻されて、作業者Wの、投入する布類の上辺部の幅の種類に応じたスイッチ操作による駆動機構の起動で投入経路21に送られるのを待機するので、布類Cの投入作業を効率的に行うことができる。 Therefore, according to the cloth supply device of the above embodiment, the corner portion of the cloth C is handed over to the extension clamp 2a in each ascending path of the inner supply path 15 of the two paths and the outer supply path 16 of the two paths. The transport clamps 11 of the above are gathered in a common return path 27 through the return path 26 by descent due to their own weight, and then supplied in pairs to the transport clamp supply path 28 of each charging unit 20 from the transport clamp supply path 28. It is returned to the upper end of the descending path of the loading path 21 and waits for the worker W to be sent to the loading path 21 by activating the drive mechanism by operating a switch according to the type of the width of the upper side of the cloth to be loaded. Therefore, the cloth C can be put in efficiently.

以上、図示例に基づき説明したが、この発明は上述の例に限定されるものでなく特許請求の範囲の記載範囲内で適宜変更し得るものであり、例えば上記実施形態の布類供給装置では布類展張装置1が具える制御装置と別個にコントローラ17を具えているが、布類展張装置1が具える制御装置をコントローラ17としても用い、別個のコントローラ17を省略してもよい。 Although described above based on the illustrated example, the present invention is not limited to the above example and can be appropriately modified within the scope of the claims. For example, in the cloth supply device of the above embodiment. Although the controller 17 is provided separately from the control device provided by the cloth extension device 1, the control device provided by the cloth extension device 1 may also be used as the controller 17, and the separate controller 17 may be omitted.

また、上記実施形態の布類供給装置では二経路の計測経路を上辺部の弛みに応じて弛み別供給経路としての二経路の内側供給経路15と二経路の外側供給経路16とに分岐させているが、二経路の計測経路をそれぞれ、さらに多数の弛み別供給経路に分岐させてもよい。 Further, in the cloth supply device of the above embodiment, the measurement path of the two paths is branched into the inner supply path 15 of the two paths and the outer supply path 16 of the two paths as separate supply paths by slack according to the slack of the upper side portion. However, each of the two measurement paths may be branched into a larger number of slack-separated supply paths.

そして、上記実施形態の布類供給装置では布類Cの第1の種類と第2の種類とを、上辺部の幅の違いで分けているが、これに代えて、その上辺部の幅の違いから判明するシーツとカバーといった布類の種類の違いや客先の違い等で分けるようにしてもよく、このようにしても同じ種類の複数枚の布類を連続して布類展張装置に供給してその処理効率を十分に高めることができる。 Then, in the cloth supply device of the above embodiment, the first type and the second type of the cloth C are separated by the difference in the width of the upper side portion, but instead of this, the width of the upper side portion thereof. It may be divided according to the difference in the type of cloth such as sheets and covers that can be seen from the difference, the difference in the customer, etc. Even in this way, multiple pieces of cloth of the same type can be continuously used as a cloth spreading device. It can be supplied to sufficiently increase its processing efficiency.

かくしてこの発明の布類供給装置によれば、所定間隔で平行に延在する二経路の計測経路を横並びで通る一対の搬送クランプでそれぞれ把持した布類の角部間の上辺部の弛み程度を弛みセンサで計測した結果に基づき、その弛み程度から上辺部の幅が推測される種類の布類について、その弛み程度に応じて定められた複数経路の弛み別供給経路のうちのその布類の上辺部の弛み程度に対応する二経路の弛み別供給経路にそれぞれ通して、対応位置に配置した展張クランプにそれらの角部を引き渡すので、布類を展張する際の展張クランプの移動距離を布類の上辺部の幅の大小ひいては布類の種類の違いにかかわらず小さくして展張時間を短縮し、処理効率を十分に高めることができる。 Thus, according to the cloth supply device of the present invention, the degree of slack in the upper side between the corners of the cloth gripped by a pair of transport clamps that pass side by side through the two measurement paths extending in parallel at predetermined intervals. For a type of cloth whose upper side width is estimated from the degree of slack based on the results measured by the slack sensor, of the multiple routes of supply routes for each slack determined according to the degree of slack. Since those corners are handed over to the extension clamps placed at the corresponding positions by passing through each of the two slack supply paths corresponding to the degree of slack in the upper side, the movement distance of the extension clamp when extending the cloth is increased. The width of the upper side of the class can be reduced regardless of the type of cloth to shorten the spreading time and the processing efficiency can be sufficiently improved.
