Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention is designed to remove foreign substances such as hair and lint that have adhered to or gotten into a fibrous body with a large number of hairs, such as motu and pine. The present invention relates to a device for removing.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the techniques described in the following [1] and [2] have been known as this type of device for removing impurities from fibrous bodies.

[1] A rotating shaft interlocked with a drive device is installed horizontally at an upper position of the conveying belt on which the fibrous body is placed and conveyed, and the fibrous body placed on the conveying belt is mounted on this rotating shaft. Those with implanted brush bristles that act on the hair group of
29193, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-29195).

[2] The conveying path for conveying the fibrous material is formed by a large number of pairs of upper and lower feed rolls, and the fibrous material is conveyed while being sandwiched between the upper and lower rolls. Rotating brushes are installed in the upper and lower positions where no rolls are installed (for example, the
Publication No. 46071, Publication No. 59-39512, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Sho
57-19076).

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the case of the conventional impurity removal device described in [1] above, brushing can only be done on the upper side of the fibrous material placed on the conveyor belt, so hair can be brushed on the entire circumferential surface of the fibrous material, such as a mop. In the case of a fibrous material having a shape, the fibrous material had to be turned over and brushed again, reducing work efficiency. Moreover, as the brushing is performed by the brush bristles, impurities present in the group of hairs on the front side of the fibrous body are likely to be pushed into the group of hairs on the back side of the fibrous body, and the removal performance of the impurities is also low. It was hot.

In addition, when using the conventional contaminant removal device described in [2] above, it is advantageous in that it is possible to brush both the front and back surfaces of the target fibrous material, but it is also possible to brush relatively small objects. In order to transport the rolls reliably and to ensure that they are held in position and posture even when subjected to brushing action, it is necessary to make the spacing between the rolls quite small. Rotating brushes that can brush only within the interval width have to be installed in large numbers to improve their ability to remove contaminants, which increases the size of the device and complicates its structure. There was a problem.

The purpose of this invention is to reliably remove foreign substances such as hair that have adhered to or gotten into the hair groups of the fibrous body, even if it is a fibrous body with hair bodies on the front and back sides, such as motu. Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for removing impurities from fibrous materials that can efficiently remove impurities without increasing the size or complexity of the device.

[Means for solving problems]

The technical means of the present invention taken to achieve the above object is to provide a pinching and conveying device for conveying a fibrous body having a large number of hair-like bodies, and to dispose of the fibrous body in the middle of the conveying path of this pinching and conveying device. A device for removing contaminants from a fibrous body, which is provided with a rotating brush for brushing hair-like bodies, is provided with the configurations described in [A] to [C] below.

[A] The clamping and conveying device includes a pair of conveyance chains whose clamping units face each other, and a guide rail that comes into sliding contact with the back surfaces of the clamping and conveying units of both conveyance chains.

[B] The guide rail is provided with a biasing means that elastically biases both the conveyance chains in a direction toward each other, and the guide rail is provided with a biasing means that elastically biases both the conveyance chains in a direction in which they approach each other, and the guide rail is provided with a biasing means that elastically biases the conveyance chains in a direction in which the conveyance chains approach each other. It is designed to restrict movement to.

[C] The rotating brush is provided with a brush member configured to rotate around an axis along the conveying direction, and the rotating brush is configured to apply a brush member that is configured to rotate around an axis along the conveyance direction, and to apply a brush member from the clamping point to the hair-like body at a position away from the clamping part of the fibrous body. It is arranged so that it can give a brushing action toward the lateral side, which moves away.

[Effect]

The effects of taking the above technical measures are as follows.

a. Since the clamping and conveying device is composed of a pair of conveying chains and a guide rail, the rotating brush can be moved on both the front and back sides of the fibrous material without being hindered by the presence of the conveying device. It can be installed widely in the transport direction.

b The conveyance device conveys a part of the fibrous material while being sandwiched between a pair of conveyance chains, and the rotating brush is configured to rotate around an axis along the conveyance direction of the chain. Since the brush member is equipped with a brush member that can impart a brushing action to the fibrous material in the lateral direction away from the clamping point, the brushing range can be set broadly in the conveying direction with a small number of rotating brush members. can.

c Moreover, the guide rail of the conveyance device has a function of regulating the position of the conveyance acting part of the conveyance chain, and the position of the chain that receives this reaction force is
Since the brushing action is applied to the side away from the clamping point by the rotation of the brush rotating body in a fixed state over a wide range in the conveyance direction, the conveyance posture of the fibrous body is less likely to be disturbed due to brushing. In other words, for example, in the conventional method where rolls are arranged at predetermined intervals and the position and orientation of the fibrous body is regulated only by the portions held between the rolls, the unsupported portions When a strong brushing action is applied, there is a risk that the posture of the fibrous body may be partially disturbed, but this can be easily avoided with the device of the present invention.

[Effect of idea]

B. Due to the effects of a and b above, it is possible to brush both the front and back sides of the fibrous material at the same time, and the range of action can be expanded with a small number of rotating brushes, which makes it possible to reduce the size of the device while making the work easier. Efficiency was improved and impurities attached to or entrapped in the hair group could be efficiently removed.

(b) Due to the effect of c. above, the fibrous body can be reliably subjected to the brushing action while avoiding disturbance in the posture of the fibrous material due to the brushing action itself during transport, and the transport can also be carried out reliably.
