Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cocoon fluff removal brush used in a fluff removal device for removing fluff adhering to the outer periphery of cocoons collected from a lattice-shaped screen or the like.
Conventional mechanisms for removing fuzz from cocoons include one that uses a rubber belt configured like a conveyor. This involves pulling and removing the fluff from the cocoon at the point of contact between the rubber belt and the cocoon stopper plate, between the rubber belts, or between the rubber belt and a roller with many artificial grass-like protrusions.
In mechanisms using these rubber belts, the rubber belt itself tends to shift or expand/contract, making it extremely difficult to make adjustments for uniform fluff removal, and also having a relatively low fluff removal ability. In addition, as a mechanism with improved fluff removal ability, there is a mechanism using a rotating roller wrapped with spinning clothing. This is a large number of metal wire needles whose tips are inclined in the direction of rotation of the roller, and the fluff of the cocoon is strongly hooked to remove the fluff. This has the disadvantage that not only the fuzz but also the thread portion is caught and cut, significantly reducing the rope efficiency. In order to improve the efficiency of the rope, a rotating brush with a large number of protruding animal hair, vegetable fibers, or plastic fibers has been used to remove the fluff, but conventionally, the fibers are linear, making it difficult to pull the fluff. For example, in cocoons that are poorly dried, the fuzz may not be completely removed. Countermeasures such as making the fibers of the brush inclined with respect to the direction of rotation or making the tip end hook-shaped have been considered, but these have the disadvantage that they are troublesome to manufacture.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and to provide a fluff removal brush that has a simple structure and has a high fluff removal ability without reducing cording efficiency. The present invention will be described in detail below based on examples.

Reference numeral 1 indicates a rotating body, and the rotating body 1 is shown in FIGS.
In addition to being configured as a shaft rod as shown in Figure 4,
As shown in the figure, it may be constructed as an endless strip driven by a transmission wheel 2 such as a sprocket or roller. Reference numeral 3 indicates a wave fiber, and the wave fiber 3 may be formed by waving plastic straight fibers having a thickness of approximately 0.1 to 0.2φ, or any suitable fiber may be used as long as it has waves. I can do it. Further, reference numeral 4 is a straight fiber, and any suitable fiber can be used for this as well. The lint removal brush A of the present invention is characterized in that a large number of the wavy fibers 3 and straight fibers are mixed and protruded from the rotating body 1. Depending on the configuration of the rotating body 1, the fluff removal brush of the present invention can be configured as a roll as shown in FIG. 2a, or as an endless belt as shown in FIG. As the method for protruding the fibers 3 and 4, an appropriate technique similar to the conventional method for manufacturing brushes can be applied. For example, the fibers 3 and 4 are sandwiched by a clamping member 5 to form a linear structure, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b.
A rolled brush can be constructed by spirally winding the brush around the shaft 1 as shown in FIG. As a method of mixing the wave fibers 3 and the straight fibers 4 and protruding a large number of them, for example, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3b, the fibers 3 and 4 may be mixed in an appropriate manner, such as by winding the linearly formed fibers independently into a double thread spiral. It's good. Therefore, when the wave fibers 3 are provided in a protruding manner as described above, there is no need to take the trouble to align the directions of their tips. With such a configuration, the fluff removal brush A of the present invention removes fluff by rotating the rotary body 1 with an appropriate rotational drive mechanism to bring the wave fibers 3 and the straight fibers 4 into continuous contact with the cocoon 6. I can do it. However, the fluff removal brush A of the present invention has wave fibers 3 and straight fibers 4, and the wave fibers 3 are configured as a brush without taking the trouble to align their tips. Since a part of the entire wave fiber 3 is necessarily inclined in the direction of rotation of the rotating body 1, the fluff is caught very well in such an inclined part.
Therefore, although the present invention is a brush with high cording efficiency, its fluff removal ability is large, and it can efficiently remove fluff not only from cocoons with normal properties but also from cocoons that dry poorly and are difficult to remove. can be done.
The performance as a brush, including the rope efficiency and fluff removal ability, can be easily adjusted by changing the mixing ratio of the wave fibers 3 and straight fibers 4, and can be used properly for cocoons with different properties. You can also do it. Also, if the fiber part that is inclined in the direction of rotation becomes worn out due to the above usage and the fluff is not easily caught, attach it to the mechanism in the opposite direction so that the brush is in a reversed state. If used, there will always be a portion that is inclined in the direction of rotation, so that good fluff removal can be achieved again. The fluff scraped from the cocoon 6 by the fluff removal brush A of the present invention is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-141738.
It can be discharged as appropriate by the mechanism shown in No.

As described above, the present invention replaces the conventional fluff removal brush, which has good cording efficiency but has low fluff removal ability.
Since it is newly constructed using wave fibers and straight fibers, its fluff removal ability can be greatly improved compared to conventional brushes. It is unique in that it can efficiently and completely remove the fluff from cocoons that are difficult to remove. Furthermore, by changing the mixing ratio of the wave fibers and straight fibers, the present invention can easily adjust the performance as a brush, including rope efficiency and fluff removal ability, and can be applied to cocoons with different properties. It has the characteristic that it can be used differently. Furthermore, the present invention is easy to manufacture because there is no need to take the trouble to align the directions of the tips when the wave fibers are protruded from the rotating body. When the wave fibers are worn out, the fluff removal ability can be maintained by rotating them in the opposite direction.
