Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a management method for managing data on laundry storage sling bags used for transporting linen at a linen supply factory.

(Conventional technology) Traditionally, linen transportation at linen sabri factories has been carried out using wagons and conveyors, but recently, in order to eliminate the labor and space required for wagons, a mole rail system has been adopted that utilizes the ceiling space of the factory three-dimensionally. Sling bag systems are rapidly becoming popular. However, in the past, the information necessary for production management, such as the linen type, customer code, and weight data put into the sling bag, was only managed on computer software, and each sling bag was had no information. Therefore, if the computer malfunctioned due to a momentary power outage or noise, and the production control data became out of sequence, it would have a huge impact on the production of the entire linen factory.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the conventional sling bag system, information necessary for production management such as linen type 9 customer code and weight data is only managed on computer software. If the production control data stored in the computer becomes out of sequence due to a malfunction due to momentary power outage or noise, the computer itself breaks down, or the program is changed due to maintenance of the computer itself, If the sling bag and the production control data no longer correspond, especially if the information between the linen put into the tunnel washing machine and the production management data is incorrect, the washing prescription in the tunnel washing machine, that is, the process control, will be completely different, and it will not be possible to wash correctly. The impact on the entire factory was extremely large.

As mentioned above, in the past, there was a problem with the correspondence with production control data in terms of control and operation, and it was impossible to directly read the correspondence with production control data, so there was a desire for a reliable production control data management method.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, the present invention provides a data storage device that is attached to a transport device and stores data such as the product name of the laundry on a sling bag in which laundry is stored. This system is designed to send the laundry to a predetermined conveyance lane by reading it with a reading device, and also to run a predetermined washing course by reading it with a reading device in the washing area.This is a means to solve the problem. .

(Function) First, when putting linen into a sling bag at the linen input section, the linen type 2 customer code is input.

When production control data such as weight data is input from the input device, this information is written from the computer to the data storage device of the sling bag via the data writing device. Next, when the sling bag or transport rail travels to a branch point, the data reading device at the branch point reads the data in the data storage device of the sling bag, and if it is the corresponding linen type, switches the branch point and Put the sling bag into the stockyard. If the type of linen is not applicable, the branch point remains as is, and the sling bag travels further along the transport rail. When the next branch point is reached, the linen type is read in the same way as above, and the branch point is controlled.

Next, when the sling bag that has traveled along the transport rail from the stockyard reaches the input port of the tunnel washer, it stops there and receives a loading command from the tunnel washer to continuously wash the linen inside the sling bag. Throw it into the machine. At this time, the data reading device at the input port of the tunnel washing machine reads the data in the data storage device of the sling bag, and outputs the type of tunnel washing machine interface linen through the computer.

When the tunnel washing machine receives this information, it switches to the washing recipe that corresponds to the type of linen, and performs the optimal washing for the linen.

(Example) The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 to 3 show examples of the present invention, and Figure 1 is a plan view showing an example of the sling bag system of the present invention. Figure, 2nd
The figure is a control block diagram, and FIG. 3 is a front view showing an example of how a data storage device is attached to each sling bag.

In the figure, 1 is a transport rail that is appropriately sloped so that the sling bags 2 can move on their own, and is placed in the ceiling space of the factory, 3 is a data storage device that is attached to each sling bag 2, and 4 is a linen bag. 5, 6", 7, 8.9 are data reading devices attached to the branching points of the conveyor rail l; lO is the data writing device attached to the input section 13; lO is the data reading device attached to the branching point of the conveyor rail l; Linen input port 12
14 is an empty sling bag after the contents of the sling bag 2, that is, linen (not shown) is loaded into the tunnel washing machine 11 at the tunnel washing machine input port 12; 15;
16 is a built-in input device for inputting linen type 2 customer code, production control data such as weight data, a computer 17 for controlling the entire system, an interface 18 for exchanging signals with the tunnel washing machine 11, etc. The data writing device 4, the data reading devices 5 to 10,
It is also connected to the input device 15. 19, 20, 21.2
Reference numeral 2 denotes a branching device that switches the branching point of the conveyor rail, and is usually on the straight rail side.

There are also four branching devices on the exit side of the stockyard 23, but their explanation will be omitted here.

Next, to explain the operation, it is assumed that, for example, a yukata is put into the sling bag 2 by the linen putting part 13. When the operator inputs production control data such as linen type 2 customer code and weight data from the input device 15, this information is transferred from the computer 17 of the control device 16 to the data writing device 4.
via the data storage device 3 of the sling bag 2. When the yukata has been put into the sling bag 2 and the production control data has been written, the sling bag 2 is raised to the highest position on the transport rail 1 through a lifter (not shown), and then the transport rail 1 is tilted. The vehicle uses its own weight to travel toward the entrance of the stockyard 23. When the sling bag 2 comes near the branch point, the data reading device 5 reads the data in the data storage device 3 of the passing sling bag 2 and determines the linen type or hof (wrapping).
The branching device 19 is switched to send the Hoflein Hessling bag 2 from the stockyard 23. Here, since the linen type is yukata, the branching device 19 does not operate, and the sling bag 2 continues straight. Similarly, branching device 2
0 also passes through, and then the data reader 7 is placed in the sling bag 2.
reads the data in the data storage device 3 when passing through the
Since the linen type of the data is yukata, the branching device 21
to send the sling bag 2 to the yukata lane. Thereafter, in the same manner, the sling bags 2 sent one after another from the linen input section 13 are placed in the stockyard 2 for each type of linen.
Stock up on 3.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the stockyard 23 is described as stocking one type of product, but it is also possible to stock a plurality of types in a row.

On the other hand, the branching device on the exit side of Sudock Yard 23 (not shown)
operates in response to a request from the tunnel washer 11, and the sling bag 2 travels to the tunnel washing machine input port 12. When the sling bag 2 reaches the tunnel washing machine input port 12, the machine stops there and receives a loading command from the tunnel washing machine 11 to input the linen in the sling bag 2 into the tunnel washing machine 11. At this time, the data reading device 10 of the tunnel washing machine input port 12 reads the data in the data storage device 3 of the sling bag 2, and outputs, via the computer 17, the interface 18 indicating the type of linen. When the continuous washing machine 11 receives this information, it switches to the washing prescription corresponding to the type of linen, and performs the optimum washing for the linen.

After the linen has been loaded into the tunnel washing machine 11, the sling bag 14 passes through the return zone of the conveyor rail 2 and returns to the linen loading section 13, where new linen is loaded. Furthermore, the data storage device 3 of the empty sling bag 14 stores the previous data as is, and the linen input section 1
In step 3, new linen is introduced, and new production control data is written in the data writing device 4, thereby erasing the previous data. The data storage device 3 attached to the sling bag 2°14 is a magnetic cart.

Possible examples include IC cards and barcodes.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above in detail, in the present invention, since each sling bag has production control data such as linen type 1 customer code and weight data, the sling bag and production control data are stored separately. There is no way that you will be unable to deal with it. In addition, the sling bag stockyard is
Conventionally, a rune was limited to one variety, but according to the present invention, a rune can be stocked with multiple varieties. Furthermore, even if there is a disturbance such as a momentary power outage or noise, or a failure of the computer itself,
Data errors will not occur, and data can be managed reliably in terms of control and operation.
