[Prior Art]

 In a conventional clothes drying finishing machine, a conveyor for loading and unloading clothes into and out of the box of the main body of the apparatus is horizontally installed above the box 1 which is vertically installed as shown in Fig. 7 (plan view). That is, the clothes to be dry-finished are hung on the conveyor 2'on the conveyor 2'at the position A'on the front side, and the motor is driven to rotate the guide rollers 4 to rotate the conveyor. By rotating 2'in the direction of arrow (a), clothes on a hanger are passed through the inside of the box 1 to be subjected to a dry finishing process.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, since the conveyor 2'for loading and unloading clothes is provided in a horizontal loop shape, the larger the box 1 itself, the larger the loop of the conveyor 2'protruding to the front side of the box 1 becomes. Not only does this increase the space area, but it is also dangerous for tall people because the loop that traveled makes contact with the head, and this is a cause of poor workability.

[0004]

[Means for solving the problem]

 The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and is characterized in that a conveyor for loading and unloading clothes is made to project a certain length at the upper part in the entrance and exit of the box of the device body. It is characterized in that it is arranged in a loop in the vertical direction across the box.

[0005]

[Operation] Since the conveyor is provided in the form of a loop in the vertical direction over the box above the box of the main body of the apparatus, the so-called upper space eliminates the horizontal protrusion, and the apparatus box is large. Even if this happens, it is not necessary to consider the increase in the device area, and safe work can be performed without danger.

 FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional front view of the upper part of the device of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the same. Reference numeral 1 is a box of the main body of the apparatus for drying and finishing clothes, where A is the inlet side and B is the outlet side. Reference numeral 2 denotes a conveyer, which is configured such that the central position of the upper part of the apparatus body box 1 is projected for a certain length on the inlet side A and the outlet side B, and is arranged in a loop shape in the vertical direction across the box 1. Here, 6a, 6b, 6c and 6d are guide rollers mounted via brackets protruding toward the inlet side and the outlet side respectively, 7 and 8 are drive motors and their drive rollers, and 9 is a pressing roller. In addition, 10a and 10b are opening / closing doors on the inlet side, 10c and 10d are opening / closing doors on the outlet side, and each opening / closing door can be hermetically sealed with the conveyor 2 sandwiched therebetween. Reference numeral 11 is a conveyor stop limit switch that is provided in the middle of the rotation of the conveyor 2, and reference numeral 12 is a safety limit switch.

FIG. 3 is a partial explanatory view of the conveyor 2 means, where A is a partially cutaway front view and B is a sectional view taken along line XX of A. In the illustrated example, the chain conveyor 2 is shown. Hanger hooks 13 are attached at specific intervals, and 14 is a guide rail that is hung from the ceiling wall of the equipment box. The tip of the L-shaped claw of the hanger hook 13 is branched into two-pronged claws 13a and 13b.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which clothes 15 are hung on the hanger hook 13 in the chain conveyor 2 of the device of the present invention, and 16 indicates the clothes 15 which have been pretreated in the previous step. Rail 17 is a stopper for locking the clothes 2, and the tip 16a of the guide rail 16 is a forked claw of the hanger hook 13 as shown in FIG. 5 (AA partial plan view of FIG. 4). It is provided so as to be located between 13a and 13b, and when the stopper 17 is released in the direction of the arrow (b) by an electric command to be described later, the hanger 18 with the clothes 15 slides on the guide rail 16 and its hook. k falls between the forked claws 13a and 13b of the hanger hook 13 of the chain conveyor 2 and is locked.

The above-mentioned hanger hooking action is carried out at the timing when each of the hanger hooks 13 attached to the chain conveyor 2 and rotating at a specific interval comes to the horizontal position of the guide roller 6b as shown in the drawing. Since the opening operation of the stopper 17 escaping in the direction of the arrow (b) is performed electrically, it is assumed that the stopper 17 immediately returns to its original position after opening the hanger 15 that is locked. Become.

Reference numeral 16 denotes an outlet end of the chain conveyor 2 in which a hanger 18 of the clothes 15 that has been subjected to the dry finishing process is removed in the apparatus box 1, and 19 is a position below the guide roller 6c. The hanger hook 13 is a guide rail disposed in a slanting direction at a position where the hanger hook 13 is turned upside down, and the clothes 15 on which the hanger hooked 13 is turned upside down. Along with this, the hook k of the hanger 18 enters the tip of the guide rail 19 and is automatically locked. At this time, however, the forked claws 13a of the hanger hook 13 are flipped upward as necessary. 13b is provided with an auxiliary means for locating the removal plate 20 attached to the device frame side (not shown) to the rear part so that the hook k of the hanger 18 is pushed out. You may try to kick it.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. First, when the drive motor 7 is driven with the opening / closing doors 10a, 10b and 10c, 10d of the apparatus box 1 being opened, the conveyor 2 is rotated in the arrow (c) direction together with the drive of the drive roller 8. At this time, the hanger hook 13 which also rotates at the same time has the hanger 18 suspending the clothes 15 which slides down sequentially from the guide rail 14 by opening the stopper 17 at the horizontal position of the guide roller 6b. The conveyor is stopped by interlocking between them and feeding them into the device box 1. By counting the feed of a certain number, the conveyor stop limit switch 11 operates and the power of the drive motor 7 is turned off. The rotation of 2 is stopped, and each open door of the device box 1 is closed.

Therefore, the dry finishing process of the clothes 15 in the apparatus box 1 is performed by the command from the control circuit, that is, the dry process is performed by blowing the hot air for a certain period of time and then the cold air. It is carried out by blowing for a certain period of time, and the finishing process is finished by appropriately performing steam injection, steam condition, hot air blowing, cold air blowing, etc.

Upon completion of the above, the doors 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d are opened, the drive motor 4 is driven again, and the conveyor 2 is rotated. In the rotation process, the inside of the apparatus main body box 1 is rotated. The garment 15 that has been subjected to the dry finishing process is sequentially removed toward the guide rail 19 at the position of the guide roller 6c on the exit side 13 thereof. On the other hand, on the entrance side A of the apparatus main body box 1, the clothes 15 to be newly hung on the guide roller 6b come in. When a certain number of the clothes 15 are sent in, the conveyor lock limit switch 11 By this operation, the switch of the drive motor 7 is turned off, the rotation of the conveyor 2 is stopped, and the same operation is repeated.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the device of the present invention, since the clothes conveying conveyor is formed in a so-called vertical loop shape that uses the upper space of the device body box, it is completely loosened by the conventional horizontal extension. You can avoid obstacles. In particular, even if the box 1 of the equipment becomes large, the height of the box does not change, and the space above it can be a small space where the conveyor straddles the boxes. It is not necessary to consider the spread of the transportation means in the horizontal direction only by considering it. Further, there are the following excellent effects. (1) Since the clothes are carried in in the same direction as the traveling direction of the conveyor and when the hanger is lowered from above, the operation is easy, reliable, and quick. (2) The same applies to the carrying out. (3) If the chain conveyor is used as the conveyor and the guide rail is used as shown in the figure, the roller of the chain conveyor will roll in the rail, so the resistance is small and the drive motor of small horsepower can be used. Hiring is possible. (When the conveyor forms a loop in the horizontal direction, the chain link plate and pins of the chain are constantly in contact with the rail, which causes a large resistance and a large load on the drive motor. There is a need to.)
