Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a needle-reading machine for detecting hook needles, insect pins, broken pieces of sewing needles, etc. that may remain in garment after sewing. The present invention relates to a meter reading device for clothing, which is designed to be detected automatically.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The garment after sewing is hung on a hanger and transferred as a hanger-hanging product to move to the next work.However, broken pieces of the needle and sewing needle may remain in this garment, and this probability is extremely high. Although few, such products must be classified as defective. As a conventional general meter reading method, a method of detecting an electromotive force generated by the movement of a magnetic substance in a magnetic field and issuing an alarm using this as a signal source is adopted. There is a handy type that carries out exploration work, and a conveyor type needle detector that puts clothing on a belt conveyor and passes through the meter reading unit.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, with the handy type, despite the extremely low probability of remaining needles, all products must be manually searched, which is very inefficient and is only for meter reading. It was extremely uneconomical in terms of production costs, such as requiring labor. Although the conveyor type meter can be automatically metered, it not only has the problem that clothing cannot be metered while it is hung on a hanger, but it also has different types, sizes, and thicknesses. There is a difficulty that it cannot be adapted to the meter reading of clothing items. In other words, in this type of meter reading means, a fine magnetic material is generally detected, so it is necessary to bring the clothing as close as possible to the needle reading machine in order to position the magnetic material in the magnetic field. If the item is simply placed on the belt conveyor, it may not be possible to reliably detect the fine needle that does not know where the item remains in the accessory. Recently, some automatic meter reading machines have been provided that have a passage with a meter reading unit on the side and allow clothing to pass through in a hanger suspension state, but in this case, as described above. In addition, in order to handle clothing with different thicknesses, there is a drawback in that it is not possible to reliably read the meter by simply passing the hanger hanging product through the passage.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional needle-reading machine for clothes, and to automatically read the clothes hanging on a hanger in an online format. An object of the present invention is to provide a meter reading device for clothing, which can adjust the width of the passage to be arbitrarily adjusted and can accommodate clothing with different thicknesses.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The clothing meter reading device according to the present invention is provided with a passage in which a vertically elongated meter reading unit is arranged laterally, and detects needles that may remain in the clothing by allowing the clothing to pass through in a hanger suspension state. By providing a needle reading machine configured to do so, the wall surface of the passage of the needle reading machine is formed of a belt-like member, and a wall pressing mechanism is provided on the back side of the belt-like member to partially adjust the passage width. A feeder for introducing the clothes hanging clothes is arranged on the entrance side of the passage, and the clothes hanging clothes are received from the feeder above the meter reading machine and passed through the passage. Equipped with a meter-reading transfer mechanism, and when a signal for needle detection is obtained from the above-mentioned meter-reading machine, this is notified by the notification means. Rye To the outlet line with the provision are those needles placed the sorting mechanism sorts hanger hanging apparel sensed. The meter-reading unit is arranged on both sides of the passage by shifting the position so that the accessories can be read from the front side and the back side, and the passage width is adjusted so that the passage is curved by the wall pressing mechanism, so that the accessories can roll sideways. The front side and the back side are configured to be pressed against each other in the direction of the meter reading unit. In this case, when the width of the passage is narrowed by the wall pressing mechanism, the meter reading unit moves in cooperation with this and moves to the wall side. Since the height from the hanging ring to the clothing may differ due to the difference in hanger shape, the meter reading unit is configured to be slidable up and down. Also, at the entrance side of the meter reading machine, a delivery mechanism that moves vertically to receive the hanger hanging garment introduced by the feeder and hang it on the hook part of the moving movable part of the meter reading transfer mechanism is arranged. The traveling movable part of the meter transfer mechanism is made of non-magnetic material such as aluminum so as not to affect the magnetic field, especially the hook part that protrudes toward the meter unit.The sorting mechanism uses a shoot lever that guides the hanger suspension ring. Depending on the presence / absence of a detection signal, it is configured to oscillate by dividing it into a non-defective product transfer line and a defective product stock line, which are branched to the discharge line. In addition, when hanging a hanger hanging accessory on the conveyor line, the hanger is hung from one side, and the workability varies greatly depending on the direction of the hanger. When the hanger is formed, the hanger is reversed so that the direction of the hanger is the same as when it was introduced into the feeder, and the hanger is configured to be discharged and transferred. Turn around to make it easier to remove.

[0006]

[Action]

 If the height from the hanging ring to the clothing is different due to the different shape of the hanger, slide the meter-reading unit up and down to ensure that the clothing is within the meter-reading range. Further, when there is a metal member in the suspension ring portion of the hanger, the metal member can be moved away from the magnetic field by the above slide adjustment. Next, the width of the passage is partially adjusted by the wall pressing mechanism on the back side of the passage according to the thickness of the hanger hanging accessories. Further, along with this, the meter-reading unit also moves to the wall side and does not separate from the wall surface. The garment introduced from the feeder rises vertically by the delivery mechanism, is hooked on the hook part of the traveling movable part of the meter reading transfer mechanism on standby, and passes through the passage by the traveling of the traveling movable part. The meter-reading units are arranged on both sides of the aisle so that they can be read from the front side and the back side of the clothing item.By adjusting the aisle so that the aisle is curved, the clothing item is pressed against the wall in a rolling state. After passing, the front and back sides are metered by the respective meter reading units. For clothing that has passed through the needle-reading machine, the hook part of the needle-reading transfer mechanism rotates downward and the hanging ring of the hanger slides down and is transferred to the discharge line side.If no needle is detected, the shoot lever transfers the non-defective product. Since it is closed on the line side, it is transferred to the regular route. When a needle is detected, an alarm means such as a buzzer or lamp blinks, and the shoot lever is switched to the defective product stock line side, and the taken out garment is stocked at a predetermined position.
