Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial field of application This invention effectively prevents unwinding of a rolled wet towel by imparting sufficient moistness to the rear end of the sheet material that is rolled up. It relates to a possible watering structure.

2. Description of the Related Art At coffee shops, restaurants, and other eating and drinking establishments, a towel cloth "rolled towel" is provided as a customer service. Since facilities of this type use a large amount of "rolled hand towels" per day, most of them use the ones delivered by the hand towel manufacturers.
However, the "rolled towel" of the towel cloth can be repeatedly used, but on the other hand, if the regeneration treatment is not complete, there is a problem that it becomes extremely unsanitary and there is a drawback that the cost increases.

Therefore, the applicant of the present invention has diligently developed a compact rolled hand towel manufacturing device capable of home-made a cheap rolled disposable hand towel, such as paper or non-woven fabric Filed for utility model registration. In the rolled hand towel manufacturing device according to these applications, a “rolled hand towel” in which a sheet material made of paper or non-woven fabric is rolled into a roll shape
Can be efficiently manufactured fully automatically.

Here, the manufacturing apparatus includes a sheet holder for forming a turn-back at the leading end of the sheet material as shown in FIG. 4 in order to surely wind the sheet material. The sheet holder 10 is provided between a device (not shown) for cutting the sheet material 12 pulled out from the supply source and a rolled hand towel manufacturing section 14 for winding the sheet material 12 cut into a predetermined length in a roll shape. It is arranged. In addition to the sheet holder 10, the sheet holder 10 is provided with a folded-back portion at the front end thereof.
Also has a function of receiving water sprinkled from a water sprinkling pipe 16 arranged at a position opposed to.

As shown in FIG. 4, the seat holder 10 includes a vertical back plate 10a and a plurality of ribs 10b (partly arranged in the longitudinal direction of the back plate 10a (width direction of the sheet material 12) at appropriate intervals. (Only shown), and a restricting portion 13 that bulges toward the water spray pipe 16 is formed at the lower end of the rib 10b. The front surface side of each rib 10b is connected to each other by a damming material 10c. Therefore, when the lower end of the sheet material 12 hung from above contacts the regulating portion 13 of the rib 10b, the movement of the sheet material 12 is regulated, and as a result, the intermediate portion of the sheet material 12 expands toward the sprinkling pipe 16 side. Put out. In this state, if the sheet material 12 is cut at a site located above the sheet holder 10, the cut end portion falls down in the direction away from the holder 10. At this time, since the endless belt 18 of the rolled hand towel manufacturing section 14 is running in the direction of the arrow, the sheet material 12 contacting the belt 18
Are transferred in a direction of passing under the holder 10. As a result, the end portion that was in contact with the restriction portion 13 is folded back,
As shown by the solid line in FIG. 4, a fold is formed at the tip of the sheet material 12 transported by the endless belt 18.

Further, in the rolled hand towel manufacturing device, the sheet holder 10
When the sheet material 12 hangs down to the front side of the sheet material 12, it is configured to spray water from the water spray pipe 16 toward the rear plate 10a of the holder 10 for a predetermined time to give the sheet material 12 the necessary moist air. . In this case, when the sheet material 12 is cut by the cutting device, the cut end of the sheet material 12 (the winding end end of the "rolling hand towel") falls down in the direction away from the holder 10 as described above. For this reason, it is not possible to impart sufficient moistness to the end portion, and the “rolled hand towel” is rolled up in the rolled hand towel manufacturing unit 14.
However, since the winding at the end portion of the winding is unwound, the regular roll shape cannot be maintained, and there is a disadvantage that the appearance is poor.

Therefore, in the above apparatus, a hole 20 is formed in the lower end portion of the seat holder 10 so that the water sprinkled on the seat holder 10 is dripped downward through the hole 20. Therefore, the rear end of the sheet material 12 transferred by the endless belt 18 is the holder.
If water is sprinkled from the water sprinkling pipe 16 toward the sheet holder 10 when passing below the sheet 10, the water sprinkled on the holder 10 is dropped and supplied to the sheet material 12 from the hole 20. But,
It was difficult to give sufficient moistness to the rear end of the sheet material 12 during transfer with only the water dropped from the hole 20, and it was still easy to unwind the end of the "rolling hand towel".

In addition, the back plate 10 of the seat holder 10 from the sprinkling pipe 16
In order to drop the water sprinkled on a through the hole 20, the holder 10
Is always wet and water stains are likely to adhere to it, so it is necessary to clean it in a short cycle.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has been proposed in order to suitably solve this problem, and the winding end end of the sheet material wound in a roll shape is not easily unwound, It is an object to provide a means by which a neat roll-shaped "rolling towel" can be produced.

The front faces of the ribs 10b are connected to each other by a blocking member 10c.

In the lower part of the back plate 10a of the seat holder 10, as shown in FIG. 2, openings 24 are formed between the ribs 10b, 10b adjacent to each other. This opening 24 is shown in FIG. 3 (b).
As shown in FIG. 5, it functions to allow the water sprinkled from the sprinkler pipe 16 to be supplied directly to the sheet material 12 that is transported through the rolled hand towel manufacturing section 14.

As shown in FIG. 2, on the front side of the seat holder 10, a water sprinkling pipe 16 parallel to the width direction of the sheet material 12 is detachably arranged in the apparatus main body 22. The water spray pipe 16 is provided with a plurality of water spray holes 16a directed toward the opening 24 of the seat holder 10, and the water pumped from the water tank through the water spray holes 16a through the pump is located on the front side of the seat holder 10. Water is supplied to the sheet material 12 that hangs down to give the sheet material 12 the necessary moistness as a towel (see FIG. 3 (a)). Further, as described later, when the sheet material 12 cut by the cutting mechanism is transferred by the endless belt 18 of the rolled hand towel manufacturing section 14 and moves below the sheet holder 10, it is possible to spray water from the water spray pipe 16. For example, this water is directly supplied to the sheet material 12 through the opening 24 of the sheet holder 10 (see FIG. 3 (b)).

The device main body 22 is detachably mounted with a rolled hand towel manufacturing section 14 which is inclined downward as it is separated from the front surface of the main body 22. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the rolled hand towel manufacturing section 14 is a pair of support frames 26, 26 (only one of which is shown) opposed to each other with a predetermined distance therebetween.
A driven roller 28 and a drive roller 30 are rotatably provided at both ends of the roller in the longitudinal direction, and an endless belt 18 is wound between the rollers 28 and 30. The drive roller 30 is connected to a motor (not shown) arranged in the apparatus so that power can be transmitted. Therefore, by driving the motor, the drive roller 30 is driven to rotate clockwise and the endless belt is
18 runs in the direction of the arrow.

Between the support frames 26, 26 and the endless belt 1
The sheet holder 10 is removably positioned and fixed above the position 8. As shown in FIG. 3, the bottom surface of the sheet holder 10 and the endless belt 18 are positioned so as to be separated by a height that allows the sheet material 12 transferred by the endless belt 18 to pass therethrough. Also, the seat holder 10
Is disposed at a position separated from the position where the driven roller 28 is disposed on the drive roller 30 side by a predetermined distance, and when the sheet material 12 located on the front surface of the holder 10 falls in a direction of separating from the holder 10, The sheet material 12 is configured to come into contact with the endless belt 18 wound around the driven roller 28.

A fixed belt 36 that surrounds the endless belt 18 is disposed in the latter half of the endless belt 18. This fixed belt 36
As shown in FIG. 1, is separated from the conveying surface of the endless belt 18 by a predetermined distance and extends so as to surround the drive roller 30. Therefore, the sheet material 12 transferred between the endless belt 18 and the fixed belt 36 is rolled between the belts 18 and 36 and wound into a roll having a required diameter. The "rolled hand towel" produced by the rolled hand towel manufacturing section 14 is
It is adapted to be dropped and stored in a tray 38 which is arranged on the front surface of the apparatus main body 22 so as to be openable and closable.

Operation of Embodiment Next, the operation of the water sprinkling structure of the rolled hand towel manufacturing device according to the embodiment will be described. The sheet material 12 pulled out from the sheet roll stored in the apparatus main body 22 through the feeding mechanism.
Are passed through the cutting mechanism and are hung down and supplied to the front side of the sheet holder 10. Then, the pump (not shown) is energized at a required timing when the sheet material 12 is pulled out by a predetermined length, and as shown in FIG. The pressure-fed water is sprayed on the sheet material 12 through the water spray holes 16a.

When the sheet material 12 is further pulled out, the cutting mechanism is urged to cut the sheet material 12 in the width direction at a predetermined position. Then, the cut end of the sheet material 12 falls down in the direction away from the sheet holder 10 and comes into contact with the endless belt 18 of the rolled hand towel manufacturing section 14. Since the endless belt 18 is driven to travel, the sheet material 12 lying down on the belt 18 is transported by the endless belt 18. At this time, since the lower end portion of the sheet material 12 is in contact with the restricting portion 13 of the rib 10b of the sheet holder 10, the lower end portion is bent and the leading end of the sheet material 12 in the traveling direction is doubled. It will be in a state of overlapping.

Next, when the rear end portion of the sheet material 12 passes below the sheet holder 10, the pump is urged,
The water sprinkled from the water sprinkling holes 16a of the water sprinkling pipe 16 passes through the opening 24 of the holder 10 as shown in FIG.
Directly supplied to 12. Therefore, sufficient moisture is applied to the rear end of the sheet material 12.

The sheet material 12 is rolled while being transferred between the endless belt 18 and the fixed belt 36 and is rolled into a roll having a required diameter, and then dropped and stored in a tray 38 provided on the front surface of the apparatus main body 22. It At this time, since the winding end end of the "rolling hand towel" has a sufficient moistness, the winding of the end is not easily unwound and a regular roll shape can be maintained.

Effect of the Invention As described above, according to the sprinkler structure of the rolled hand towel manufacturing device according to the present invention, the seat holder is provided with a large opening, and water is sprayed from the sprinkling means toward the opening. Water can be sprayed directly onto the sheet material to be transferred. That is, since a large amount of water can be supplied to the rear end portion of the sheet material, the "rolled hand towel" that is rolled into a roll in the manufacturing section does not easily unwind the end portion of the roll, and the rolled roll is well-ordered. The shape can be maintained. Further, since the water sprinkled from the water sprinkling means directly splashes on the seat holder, it is almost impossible for dirt such as water stains to adhere to the seat holder.
It is also extremely hygienic and has the advantage that the cleaning cycle can be set long.
