Description

  The present invention relates to a clothes thrower. More specifically, the semi-dried clothing after washing is placed on the shaped body to make it into a figured state, the clothing is transferred from the shaped body to the conveyor, and finally to an ironer or folding machine for ironing. The present invention relates to a clothes thrower that transports clothes.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (a), the clothing C handled by the clothing thrower of the present invention is a sick clothes, yukata, etc., and has two strings s attached to the body, and the strings s are attached to the side of the body. Assume clothing that is tied and worn. However, the present invention can also be applied to clothing without the string s.

  It is already known to use a charging machine having a shaped body in order to load a semi-dried garment after washing into an ironer or a folding machine. The shaped body has, for example, a member called a simulated human body, and it is hung so that clothing can be put on it to make it into a figured shape, and the sleeve is extended so that the clothing is finished in a state close to the original shape. Yes. There exists patent document 1 as a prior art example of such a charging device.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a shaping body 112 on the lower front surface of the feeder main body 111, and a lower conveyor 121 and an upper conveyor 122 on the upper portion of the main body 111. The base end portion of the shaping body 112 is attached to the base 113 so as to be tiltable, and can be moved up and down by an extendable mechanism 114. Further, left and right extendable arms 115 and 116 are attached to the upper portion of the shaping body 112, and the extendable arms 115 and 116 expand and contract to the left and right , so that both sleeves sv of the clothing C are obtained as shown in FIG. Can be stretched.

  The lower conveyor 121 is composed of 10 to 20 belts 121a, and the width thereof is wider than the width when the sleeves of clothes are spread. Each belt 121a is wound around the suction surface of the back suction box 103 and several guide rolls 121b arranged behind it.

Rear suction box 103 is provided on the inside front of the input unit body 111, it has wider than the total width of approximately the same overall width as the lower conveyor 121, i.e. both sleeves of the garment C (unfolded state). Further, the belt 121a of the lower conveyor 121 is a perforated belt, and allows the back suction box 103 to suck air. For this reason, the back surface of the clothing C can be sucked and held so as not to fall.

  The upper conveyor 122 is disposed in an upper portion of the lower conveyor 121 in the center in the width direction. The configuration is such that several belts (six in the figure) are arranged in parallel, and the width thereof is equivalent to the shoulder width of the clothing C. Each belt 122a is wound around a horizontal guide roller 122b arranged above and below and a guide roller 122e on the upper rear surface of the suction box 103. Further, the posture can be changed between a contact position where the upper conveyor 102 is brought into contact with the lower conveyor 101 and a separated position away from the contact position.

When putting semi-dried garments in the above-mentioned prior art, as shown in FIG. 7, first, (a) the garment C is put on the shaped body 112, and then (b) the garments with the stretchable arms 115 and 116 stretched. The sleeve sv of C is spread left and right, and (c) the shaped body 112 is raised. This operation enables delivery to the upper and lower conveyors 121 and 122 shown in FIG. Then, when the upper conveyor 122 sandwiches the vicinity of the garment C with the lower conveyor 121 and the lower conveyor 121 is activated at the same time, the clothing C is conveyed. The clothing C is then conveyed by a conveyor such as the secondary conveyor C and sent to the roll ironer R.

However, the conventional example has the following problems.
If the garment is a sick or yukata as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the two strings s that hold the front body aside are between the roller 122e and the belt 122a of the upper conveyor 122 as shown in FIG. Or between the roller 121b of the lower conveyor 121 and the belt 121a. When the string s is pinched, the upper part of the sick clothing is stopped and only the lower part is moved by the lower conveyor 121, and the dressed state of the clothing C is broken as shown in the figure. If it does so, it will become impossible to iron with the ironer which is a post process.

Next, a clothes thrower according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
First, based on FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a basic configuration of the clothes thrower according to the present embodiment will be described.
A shaped body 10 is erected on the lower front surface of the clothing input device P, and a primary conveyor including a lower conveyor 1 and an upper conveyor 2 is provided on the upper front surface of the clothing input device P. The shaped body 10 is a semi-dried garment C (typically a yukata or sick clothes shown in FIG. 7 (a), but not limited to this), and is in a dressed state. Is inserted between the lower conveyor 1 and the upper conveyor 2.

  The pair of the lower conveyor 1 and the upper conveyor 2 is a mechanism for receiving the clothing C sent from the shaped body 10 and starting conveyance. A secondary conveyor C1 and other conveyors C2 and C3 connected to the secondary conveyor C1 are further connected downstream of the conveyors 1 and 2 (back side of the machine) and connected to the roll ironer R. The roll ironer R is a known device for ironing clothing. A folding device may be provided instead of the ironer R. The ironer R and the folding device are post-processing devices referred to in the claims.

The detailed description of each part of the clothes thrower P will be further continued.
As shown in FIG. 5, the lower conveyor 1 is composed of 10 to 20 belts 1 a arranged in parallel, and the entire width of the lower conveyor 1 is wider than the width when both axes of the clothing C are expanded. As shown in FIG. 4, each belt 1 a is wound around several guide rolls 1 b and a suction surface of the back suction box 3.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, the upper conveyor 2 is disposed in an upper portion in the center portion in the width direction of the lower conveyor 1. The configuration is such that several (six in the figure) belts 2a are arranged in parallel, and the width thereof corresponds to the shoulder width of the garment C. Each belt 2a is hung around a horizontal guide roller 2b arranged above and below and a guide roller 2e arranged above the back suction box 3, and the two guide rollers 2b are arranged apart from each other on the left and right. The two tilting arms 2c are pivotally supported. An air cylinder 2d is connected to the upper end of the tilt arm 2c. For this reason, by extending and contracting the air cylinder 2d, the posture can be changed between the contact position where the upper conveyor 2 is brought into contact with the lower conveyor 1 and the separated position away from the contact position.

Rear suction box 3 is provided on the inside front of the input device P, not wider than the total width of approximately the same overall width as the lower conveyor 1, i.e. both sleeves of the garment C (unfolded state). The belt 1a of the lower conveyor 1 is wound around the back suction box 3, the back guide roller 1b, and the lower guide roller 1b. Further, the belt 1a of the conveyor 1 is a perforated belt, and allows the back suction box 3 to suck air. For this reason, the back surface of the clothing C can be sucked and held so as not to fall.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the description of the basic structure will be continued. Two sleeve suction boxes 4, 4 are provided on the left and right front surfaces of the lower conveyor 2. That is, the sleeve suction boxes 4 and 4 are arranged at positions for sucking both sleeves of clothing in the left-right direction. The sleeve suction box 4 can change its position between a suction position close to the surface of the lower conveyor 1 and a spaced position away from the sleeve suction box 4.

  The back suction box 3 and the sleeve suction box 4 are connected to the blower 5d by ducts 5a, 5b, and 5c. Further, dampers 5e and 5f are attached to the inlet duct of the blower 5c so that suction / stop of the back suction box 3 and the sleeve suction box 4 can be controlled.

  The shaped body 10 includes a substrate and a lifting plate as in the conventional example. The substrate is pivotally supported on the base member 13 by a pin so as to be tiltable forward and backward, and can be tilted by an air cylinder between an upright posture and a rearward tilted posture inclined slightly rearward.

Next, the catch eliminating mechanism 20 which is a feature of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
Reference numeral 21 denotes a compression roller, which is disposed on the upper surface of the secondary conveyor C1. Both ends of the compression roller 21 are connected to a lever 22, and a base portion of the lever 22 is connected to a support body 23. The compression roller 21 is a roller whose width is wider than the width of the body of the garment. Reference numeral 24 denotes a shaft serving as a rotation fulcrum of the lever 22, and 25 denotes a bar connecting the left and right levers 22. 1 and 2, reference numerals 31 and 32 denote guide rollers of the secondary conveyor C1.

The compression roller 21 of the present embodiment is a free roller that applies a load to clothing by its own weight. However, a light load may be applied by an air cylinder or the like may be configured to be pulled up so as to be in a no-load state.
The direction from the proximal end of the lever 22 that supports the compression roller 21 toward the distal end is the same as the feeding direction of the clothing C. For this reason, when the garment C enters the lower surface of the compression roller 21, no excessive clamping pressure is generated, and only the weight of the compression roller 21 acts. In other words, the pressing effect by only the weight of the compression roller 21 is generated on the clothes on the secondary conveyor C1. Therefore, by appropriately selecting the weight of the compression roller 21, it is possible to reliably pull out the string s when it is caught, and to exert an effect of taking a small heel of the clothing C.

The throwing-in operation of the clothing throwing machine P in this embodiment is the same as in the prior art, and is performed as follows.
The shaped body 10 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is covered with the clothing C, and the elevating body 12 is raised. When the upper conveyor 2 sandwiches the vicinity of the garment C against the conveyor 1, the shaped body 10 is lowered, and at the same time, the lower conveyor 1 is activated to transport only the clothing C. When the clothing C finishes passing through the lower conveyor 1, the back suction box 3 stops sucking. The clothing C is then transported through the secondary conveyor C1 and the other conveyors C2 and C3 in that order, and is transported to the roll ironer R.

  In the conveying operation as described above, as shown in FIG. 2, the string s of the clothing C may be sandwiched between the guide roller 2e and the belt 2a or between the guide roller 1b and the belt 1a. Then, the hooking of the string s is eliminated as follows.

  The operation will be described with reference to FIG. Even if the string s of the clothing C is caught between the roller 2e and the belt 2a, the upper end portion of the clothing C is pressed by the compression roller 21, so that the secondary conveyor C1 is placed on the upper side of the clothing C as well as the lower side. The conveyance power of is transmitted. For this reason, the string s sewn on the upper part of the garment C is pulled and pulled out from the entanglement with the upper conveyor 2 and the lower conveyor 1. In this way, the clothing C is fed into the roll ironer, which is a subsequent process, in the aligned posture when it is thrown in.

In addition, since the pressure roller holds the hem from the collar of the clothing through the chest, the clothing can be conveyed to the post-processing device in a clean state by extending a small heel.
As described above, the roll ironer is kept in the shape and can be used to iron the clothes without any small wrinkles, so that a beautiful finish without wrinkles can be achieved.
