Description

        The present invention relates to a fabric inspection machine, and more particularly, to an automatic inspection folding machine that searches for scratches, dirt, foreign matter, and the like on the fabric.

Conventionally, a series of fabrics woven by a loom or the like is inspected by visual inspection or a sensor or the like for unevenness of fabrics, scratches, dirt, and foreign matter before the dyeing process. If this inspection operation is not performed as part of the flow operation, the raw material wound in a roll is placed on a cart or conveyor from the stock warehouse. It is carried out to the unloading cradle or unloading basket of the inspection machine, moved into this, and unraveled, and the unfolded cloth is pulled up to the upper swing-down folding means, and it is set on this It is configured so that it can be operated after being automatically scanned and folded and shipped or discharged.
In such a process, the original fabric roll with a considerable weight is transported by one worker, unraveled, and the unraveled fabric is stretched to the swing-off means, and then this is set up. The work to be operated was a work that could not be handled, and if it was done forcibly, it could cause back pain.

        Also, in this type of inspection machine, it is generally configured that the cloth that has been unwound and proofed is folded at the same time that it is shaken off by a shake-off hopper or the like. A cage with a carriage is used, and after completion of the work, the carriage moves along with the carriage, and the subsequent processing is performed with the cargo loaded.

On the other hand, instead of the inspection folding machine as part of such a planar flow operation, a three-dimensional and single space-saving and fatigue-free biaxial folding winding type inspection machine has also been proposed. .

Such conventional techniques are presumed to be able to achieve the intended purpose in each case, but the techniques of Patent Documents 1 and 2 are space-saving and can be applied to the next process of the folded piece. The transfer problem has a somewhat inefficient problem. On the other hand, since the technique of Patent Document 3 relates to a three-dimensional type inspection machine similar to the technique of the present invention, the advantage of the space-saving type is shared. However, since the fabric before and after the inspection is a roll-shaped workpiece wound around the shaft, the labor to attach to and remove from the inspection machine is quite severe, and one worker can not cope with it at all, and the next process It is presumed that there is an inconvenience that requires special transportation means at the site where the crane and the conveyor facility are not provided even during transportation.
An object of the present invention is to provide an efficient and economical apparatus of this kind that improves the inconvenience and disadvantage of such a three-dimensional, space-saving type inspection machine.

Means to solve the problem

        In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, first, the basket or cage for supplying the raw roll to the inspection machine is transported to the unwinding basket position by an appropriate transfer means. The latter can be moved up and down by an electric motor so that the original roll can be moved into the latter by one worker, and the roll in the basket is configured to be driven so that the next work of the worker, One feature is that it facilitates the work of pulling the end of the disassembled fabric into the hopper.

        Next, after the visual inspection of the inspection machine is finished, the fabrics that are shaken off by the shaker hopper are fold-down folding clutches of the hopper so that both ends are accurately folded to a predetermined width on the receiving conveyor. At the same time that the mechanism is electronically controlled, the end of the fabric is filled with special ink that does not disappear due to the dyeing process, etc., and this surface is folded to fit the surface so that the management of the subsequent process becomes efficient. The second feature is that it is configured as follows.

        Furthermore, as a third feature, both ends of the fabric folded as described above are mounted on the hopper shaft and lightly pressed and flattened by a presser bar interlocked with the swing motion of the hopper. The third feature is that it is configured so that it can be prevented from collapsing and can be shipped or discharged easily by arranging its packaging.

        On the other hand, the receiving conveyor that receives the folded and folded fabric is configured to descend according to the folding height of the fabric, and the folded fabric is directed toward the shipping conveyor or the unloading basket. The final feature is that it can be slid to reduce the labor of the worker, and at the same time achieves space saving by its three-dimensional automation configuration.

Effect of device

        Due to the three-dimensional configuration and operation as described above, the automatic inspection / folding machine of the present invention reduces the installation space and at the same time, removes a heavy raw roll that has been transported by appropriate conveying means. It is possible to move it into the unrolling basket that has been raised to an appropriate position by the worker, and depending on the action of the driven roller in this basket, the end of this original fabric before the start of the inspection, It can be easily pulled out to the swing hopper.

        Furthermore, since the original fabric that has been shaken off is folded by pressing the folded end flat with a holding bar, both ends are flattened to prevent unloading and facilitate carrying out work. Since the reversal etc. is written at the folded edge, it has the effect that it can efficiently and easily manage the work after dyeing, for example, dyeing work, etc. ing.

        Furthermore, this folded fabric receiving conveyor is not only formed to be movable up and down, but also has a slide mechanism, so that the folding operation is performed reliably and orderly and at the same time the load collapses automatically. It has the advantage that it can be discharged and transported with shipping or retesting.

Such a best embodiment of the present invention is:
(1) The device mechanism itself is formed in a three-dimensional space-saving manner.
(2) To make it easy for a single worker to handle heavy rolls, the roll basket can be raised and lowered, and at the same time, a roll-driven mechanism is used.
(3) The original roll-off hopper mechanism folds the original fabric along its end, fills in the reverse number, etc., and folds this entry surface along the surface. It was configured to make the management of such processes easy and efficient.
(4) In cooperation with this drop-off hopper mechanism, a pressing bar that presses the folded-back portion of the original fabric is operated so that the folded surface is always flat and does not collapse.
(5) The folded material receiving conveyor is made to be movable up and down and slidable so that the folding work can be carried out in an orderly manner and the shipping or re-checking work can be carried out easily and automatically.

        On the other hand, in this folding operation, the receiving conveyor (12) receives the fabric piece shaken off at the position of (12-a) at the initial stage of the original fabric shake-off, but is proportional to the number of times of folding. Then, depending on the motor (M3) installed at the lowermost part of the inspection machine main body, it descends in the direction (F1) sequentially, and when it is close to the position (f6), as shown in FIG. Stop at the position (12-b), and in the case of shipment, the motor (M4) (see FIG. 4) is slid in the direction (F4) and positioned on the same plane on the shipping conveyor (14) (12 ') Moved up and shipped in packaging (13') for packaging or dyeing process.

        On the other hand, when the folded fabric (13) is rotated again for back surface inspection, the receiving conveyor (12) is further moved in the (F2) direction (12-c) by the motor (M5). While lowering to the position, the basket slide plate (S) is lowered as shown in (S ′), and the receiving conveyor and the unwinding basket (4) are connected as shown in FIG. As shown in (13 ′), the sheet is transferred into the latter, guided to (f7) (f8) and turned over, and then shaken and folded (f9) and (f10). F4) Slided in the direction and shipped.

        In addition, on the terminal of the original fabric, the reverse number, which is also the code number of the subsequent processing step, is written with ink etc. that does not disappear even in the dyeing process. It is configured so that the control and management of the subsequent process can be performed accurately and easily by performing the swing-down folding operation as if folded.
