DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garment needle inspection device for inspecting the presence of a gusset needle, a broken needle, a forgotten needle or the like which has been erroneously mixed in a garment in a sewing process.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are an LC tuning amplification type and a CR tuning amplification type in a meter detecting sensor portion of a metal detector used as a meter detecting device, but the sensitivity is the square of the distance between the sensor and the metal to be detected. The function decreases in inverse proportion.

However, in the conventional meter reading device, only a product is passed before a meter sensor set to be vertically long, and no measure has been taken to reduce the distance between the sensor and the metal to be detected.

[0004]

Therefore, when performing a meter reading of an overcoat or a down jacket having a thick ground, the product is once passed in front of a meter sensor, and then the product is turned upside down and meter reading is performed again. You have to
There has been a problem that the mixed needle is not detected by the sensor and the product comes to the store as it is.

Further, the operation of passing a product one by one in front of a vertically set flat belt type meter sensor requires a great deal of labor, and if the products are not properly arranged after meter reading, the detected needles may be mixed. There is also a problem that the product is mixed with a normal product without needle contamination.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention addresses the above-mentioned problems. The present invention relates to a method in which a suspended product is connected to a metal sensor by a meter sensor and a cylindrical inflatable bag adjacent thereto. The distance between the sensor and the metal to be detected is reduced during meter reading by allowing the product to pass through the gap between the sensor and the sensor before the sensor is pressed against the sensor by the inflation pressure of the inflatable bag. Things.

Further, when the meter sensor detects metal in the product, the relay rail provided at the end of the transport rail is configured to switch from the transport route of the normal product to the transport route of the accident product, so that the needle-mixed product and the needle are connected. Normal products without contamination are automatically separated.

[0008] In addition, the operation of passing the product one by one in front of the meter reading sensor is performed by an automatic transport mechanism by interlocking the hanging of the product on the hanging hook and the transport drive.
The effort was greatly reduced.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes an apparatus main body, on which an air-cylinder type product transfer rail 2 is erected in an upward direction from an inlet 11 to an outlet 12 so as to extend upward from the inlet 11 to the outlet 12, and the meter reading sensor units 3A and 3B are opposed to and close to the device. The cylindrical inflatable bags (airbag rolls) 4A and 4B are set so as to hang down from above in pairs.

The cylindrical inflatable bag body has a core material 41 provided with upper and lower seats.
The upper end is a rotary pulley mechanism 42, 4A by the belt 44 wound around the motor 43,
4B rotates in conjunction with it.

The lower end of the cylindrical inflatable bag communicates with the air duct 46 from the blower 45, and receives air from the inside of the bag to maintain an appropriate degree of inflation of the bag.

A hanging hook 21 for hanging and conveying the product W is slidably set on the product conveying rail 2.
When the product W is hung on the switch, the switch is turned on by its weight, and the hook 21 slides and moves at a predetermined speed toward the outlet 12 to transfer the product W.

When the product W reaches the sensor portion 3A and the inflatable bag 4A, the rotation of the inflatable bag 4A feeds the product W so as to bite the product W between the bag interface and the sensor portion 3A. The product W is conveyed with the front surface of the product W in close contact with the sensor surface, and further, the product W is conveyed and moved in close contact with the sensor surface at the sensor unit 3B and the inflatable bag 4B.

The product W contains a metallic foreign matter such as a mixing needle,
A buzzer sounds when the sensor 3A or 3B is detected by the close transfer and notifies the product of an abnormality, and the pen cylinder 26 provided at the end of the transfer rail operates to operate the relay rail.
By pressing 23, the route is switched from the normal product transport route 24 to the accident product transport route 25.

When the hanging hook 21 reaches the end of the transport rail 2, the bent end 22 of the hook 21 opens downward to drop the product hanger onto the relay rail 23. Is transferred to the stocker of the accident product by the switch to.

When the accident product is dropped on the relay rail 23 switched to the conveyance route 25 of the accident product, the bent end 22 of the hook 21 closes upward and the switch of the conveyance rail 2 is turned on, and the hook 21 is turned on.
Descends on the rail and returns to the initial position.

On the other hand, when the product hanger of the accident product is transferred from the relay rail 23 to the conveyance route 25 of the accident product, the pen cylinder 26 operates to return the relay rail 23 to the conveyance route 24 of the normal product, so that metal foreign matter is removed. If not detected, the needles are successively read and the product is accumulated by the normal product transport route 24.

The apparatus main body 1 may be formed of an appropriate frame so that the transport rail 2 and the entrance 11 and the exit 12 can be incorporated into a transport route of another process.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, the product passing in front of the sensor is inspected by being pressed against the sensor by the inflation pressure of the inflatable bag, so that the accuracy of the inspection can be greatly enhanced and the product mixed with the needle can be obtained. And a normal product without needle contamination are automatically separated, so that there is an effect that wasteful work can be omitted and work efficiency can be improved.
