JP 2000-189699 A JP 2000-218099 A

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a clothing input device that does not require a hanger and does not generate wrinkles in the delivery of clothing by a clothing input device. . Moreover, the other subject of this invention is providing the input device of the clothing provided with the shaping part of the skirt.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a clothing input device for putting clothes on a shaped body by putting the washed clothing on a shaped body, and for depositing the clothing from the shaped body to a conveyor on the input side, As a conveyor on the apparatus main body side, it is located in the upper front part of the apparatus main body, and has a pair of upper and lower conveyors for holding and holding the clothing passed from the shaping body, and in the front or rear stage of the pair of upper and lower conveyors The hem shaping part for shaping the hem of the garment is provided, and the hem shaping part has an opening provided at a place where the garment deposited from the shaped body to the discharge conveyor passes, A means for sucking and shaping the hem into the opening is provided.

Therefore, the apparatus of the present invention is common to the basic structure of the conventional charging apparatus in that a shaping body is indispensable, but does not require a hanger. The shaped body is a so-called stand for the work that puts the clothing in an organized state and eliminates wrinkles and disturbances, and at the same time is a means for passing the clothing to the conveyor. As shown in FIG.

  A pair of upper and lower conveyors is provided on the front upper part of the feeder body as the feeder-side conveyor. It is a pair of upper and lower conveyors as means for holding the clothing passed from the shaped body. Therefore, the upper conveyor or the lower conveyor of the pair of upper and lower parts is in contact with the clothes so as to be able to hold the clothes in the most range, but only the tip part is provided so as to be able to contact and separate. Only one of the upper conveyor and the lower conveyor may be the tip portion movably configured for contact and separation, or both tip portions may be so. In any case, when the leading end part is separated, the introduction part for passing the garment opens, and when it closes, the passed garment is sandwiched and held and can be conveyed to the next process.

It is desirable that the front end portion of the lower conveyor is inclined upward and rearward, and the upper conveyor is provided so as to be able to contact and separate from the inclined front end portion of the lower conveyor. In this case, the shaping body is formed so as to be tiltable in the direction of the front end portion of the lower conveyor, and the shaping body can be extended toward the inside of the introduction portion formed between the front end portions of the upper and lower conveyors. By being formed, the clothes hung on the shaped body can be passed directly to the dosing device main body side.

A skirt shaper for shaping the hem of clothing can be provided at the front or rear of the pair of upper and lower conveyors. The hem shaping part has an opening provided at a location through which the clothing deposited from the shaped body to the discharge conveyor passes, and when the hem of the clothing passes, it is sucked into the opening. Since airflow in a certain direction acts, it is convenient for shaping work.

  If a roller-like member that is in contact with the hem of the garment over the entire width is provided at the lower edge of the opening for shaping the hem of the garment, the hem can be smoothly fed into the opening. That is, if there is no roller-shaped member, the resistance may be large and it may be difficult to be sucked, but this point is solved. As a shaping means for the hem of the garment, a brush-like member that contacts the hem of the garment can be provided at least at the upper edge of the opening. The brush-like member can also be provided on the lower edge of the opening.

  In addition, although an introduction part is formed between the front-end | tip parts of an up-and-down conveyor by separation | spacing of a front-end | tip part, it is also an effective means to hold | maintain the clothing delivered by suction at this time. Since such a suction structure is more effective when it is close to the moving surface of the garment, it can be provided as a guide for moving the conveyor belt as a sliding surface of the conveyor belt.

  Since the present invention is configured and operates as described above, since clothes are fed between the front ends of the conveyor where the shaping body is open, a hanger is not required for delivery of clothes, and wrinkles can be generated. Absent. In addition, since the garment throwing device according to the present invention can be provided with a molding part for the hem, the disturbance around the hem can be easily corrected, and as a whole, automatic garment feeding can be performed more smoothly. There is an effect.

The sleeve suction ducts 39 and 40 are provided so as to be positioned on the left and right when the shaping body 12 is extended. This also applies to the case where the skirt shaping portion 32 'is provided in the transport process after being deposited. Therefore, about the modification of FIG. 3, the code | symbol is used about the same structure as the example of FIG.1 and FIG.2, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted. The left and right ducts 39 and 40 are connected to the suction part 34 in the same manner as the suction box 27 and the skirt shaping part 32. Reference numerals 41, 42, and 43 denote connection intake passages, and 44 denotes a suction machine. The feeding device is provided with a discharge conveyor 46 following the discharge ports 45 of the upper and lower conveyors 21 and 22.

  In such a configuration, the garment 50 is first placed on the shaped body 12 (FIG. 4 (a)) and roughly shaped. When the control unit 47 is operated, the telescopic arms 15 and 16 extend to expand the sleeve of the garment 50 (FIG. 4 (b)), and the shaping body 11 operates the telescopic device 14 and the tilt mechanism 19 to move the garment 50 to the conveyor introduction unit. It directs to 31 (FIG.4 (c)). At this stage, the leading end 29 of the upper conveyor 22 is separated from the leading end 23 of the lower conveyor 21 and the conveyor introducing portion 31 is open.

  Thereafter, the leading end portion 29 of the upper conveyor 22 moves so as to overlap the leading end portion 23 of the lower conveyor 21, the conveyor introducing portion 31 is closed, and the clothes 50 are held by the conveyors 21 and 22 on the input side (FIG. 5). ). At the same time, the suction port covers 48 and 49 of the sleeve suction ducts 39 and 40 are closed, and the garment 50 is in a state where it is deposited on the side of the input device over the entire upper part, where the sleeve telescopic arms 15 and 16 are retracted and the shaped body 12 is lowered. (FIG. 6). That is, the garment 50 is in a state where it can be freely removed from the shaped body 12.

  Next, the suction machine 44 is started and the sleeve shape is adjusted (FIG. 7). By the operation of the suction machine 44, the clothing 50 is adsorbed to the suction box 27 at the upper part, the suction port covers 48 and 49 of the sleeve suction ducts 39 and 40 are opened (FIG. 8), and the upper and lower conveyors 21 and 22 start to operate. Thus, the garment 50 is sent out in the direction of the discharge conveyor in a state where the upper half and the sleeve are arranged.

  Further, when the skirt of the garment 50 advances to a position where the skirt of the garment 50 comes out of the shaped body 12, the roller-like member 35 rotates and the hem is sucked into the skirt shaping portion 32 (FIGS. 9 and 10). In the skirt shaping 32, the roller-like member 35 is rotated and communicated with the suction portion 34, and the brush-like members 36 and 37 are operated so as to sandwich the skirt of the moving clothing 50 and remove wrinkles (see FIG. 11, FIG. 12). Thus, the garment 50 is in a fully-shaped state, and is discharged to the next process by the discharge conveyor 46.

  The above operation is performed in the same manner as in the modification shown in FIG. 3 except that the time of tail shaping is different. In the example of FIG. 3, the skirt is shaped immediately before the garment 50 in which the upper half and the sleeve are shaped is transferred to the discharge conveyor 46. There is no change in the introduction of the roller-shaped member 35 'into the skirt-shaped part and the shaping by the sandwiching of the brush-shaped members 36', 37 'with respect to the skirt. Further, when the upper half part and the sleeve part of the clothing pass, the rotation of the roller-like member 35 'and the suction into the skirt shaping part are stopped.
