Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for conveying fine hair, a method for conveying hair, and a hair-implanting gun used for hair-implanting a workpiece.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, in the case of flocking a work such as a heater guard of an electric kotatsu or an interior part of an automobile,
The following flocking methods were adopted. That is, a work coated with an adhesive is arranged below a net on which a large number of fine hairs are loaded, and the net is vibrated in this state. As a result, the fine hairs drop from the net onto the work and are attached to the surface of the work by the adhesive. Further, at this time, the net and the work are respectively charged, and by utilizing the charge, fine hairs are planted on the surface of the work in a standing state.

However, in this conventional flocking method, flocking can be performed only on the front surface side of the work, that is, on the side facing the net, and it is necessary to flock the front and back surfaces or a plurality of surfaces of the work. In this case, there is also a problem that the direction of the work must be reversed during the work.

On the other hand, conventionally, as a device similar to the hair transplanter,
There is a powder coating device. In this powder coating apparatus, for example, a powder conveying structure as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 is adopted. In this conventional transport structure, a powder storage tank 51 is used, and a powder 52 having a pigment component is stored in the tank 51. A plurality of air blowing ports 53 are provided at the bottom of the tank 51. By blowing air from the air blowing ports 53, the powder 52
Are suspended in the tank 51.

A suction nozzle 54 is arranged in the tank 51, and the powder 52 floating in the tank 51 is sucked into the suction duct 55 from the suction nozzle 54. An injection gun 56 is connected to the tip of the suction duct 55, and the powder 52 sucked into the suction duct 55 is transferred to the injection gun 56.
Is jetted from the work toward the work.

In addition, as shown in FIG.
In the center of the injection passage in the inside, a holding portion 57 is provided with a plurality of support walls 58
The charging electrode 59 is formed on the holding portion 57.
Is held. Then, the powder passing through the injection passage of the injection gun 56 is charged by the charging electrode 59. On the other hand, the work is also charged to the required potential, and the amount of powder applied to the work is set according to the potential amount of the powder and the potential amount of the work. By heating the work after applying the powder, the powder is melted and a coating film is formed on the outer surface of the work.

[0007] In such a powder coating apparatus, if it is possible to carry and store the fine hairs in the tank 51 in place of the powder 52 by utilizing the powder carrying structure, the spray gun 56.
As a result, the work can be freely planted in any direction. Thereby, the problems in the above-mentioned conventional flocking method should be solved.

[0008]

However, unlike the powder 52, the fine hairs used for flocking tend to be entangled between the single fibers. Therefore, when the fine hairs are accommodated in the tank 51 in the conventional powder conveying structure and air is blown from the air blowing port 53, a plurality of vertical holes are formed in the fine hair layer as shown by a chain line in FIG. Only formed, the fine hairs are hardly floated in the tank 51. Therefore, there is a problem that the thin hair cannot be sucked from the tank 51 and conveyed to the injection gun 56.

In order to solve such a problem, a method in which a screw is provided in the tank 51 and the fine hairs are mechanically agitated by the screw to enhance the floating effect can be considered. However, in the case of such a configuration, there is a new problem that the charging agent applied to the surface of the fine hair is peeled off, and the fine hair cannot be charged to a predetermined potential when the hair is transplanted.

Further, in the conventional injection gun 56,
The holding portion 57, the support wall 58, and the charging electrode 5 are provided in the injection passage.
Since 9 is provided, the path through which the fine hairs pass is subdivided and narrowed. Therefore, when the injection gun 56 is used to inject fine hair, the fine hair is likely to be clogged in the injection passage. Therefore, there is a problem that the work of ejecting fine hair cannot be performed smoothly.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems existing in such conventional techniques. The first purpose is to allow the fine hairs contained in the tank to float sufficiently,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a carrier device for fine hairs that can be reliably sucked and carried.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a hair-implanting gun capable of reliably transporting fine hair without causing clogging of the fine hair in the injection passage and smoothly injecting the fine hair.

[0013]

In order to achieve the above first object, the present invention stores fine hairs in a tank,
In a device for conveying fine hairs that sucks the fine hairs out of the tank, an air blowing body for blowing air over the entire upper surface of the fine hair layer and floating the fine hairs in the tank is provided in the tank. In addition, a carrying device for carrying the suspended fine hairs is provided.

Further, according to the present invention, an elevating mechanism for elevating the air blowing body between a contact position in contact with the upper surface of the fine hair layer and a separated position spaced upward from the contact position is provided. It is what

Further, the present invention is characterized in that switching means is provided for switching the blowing of air from the air blowing body so that it is weak at the contact position with respect to the fine hair layer and strong at the separated position.

Moreover, the present invention is characterized in that a balance weight is provided for balancing the weight when the air blowing body is moved up and down. Further, in the present invention, the elevating mechanism includes an elevating rod extending in a vertical direction connected to the air blowing body, a tilting body arranged to be tiltable and vertically movable in a plane intersecting with the elevating rod, It is characterized in that it is composed of an insertion hole formed in the tilting body for inserting the rod and slightly larger than the outer diameter of the lifting rod, and an actuating means for moving the tilting body up and down.

In addition, according to the present invention, in the method for transporting fine hair in which the fine hair is housed in the tank and the fine hair is sucked out from the tank, air is blown over the entire upper surface of the fine hair layer in the tank. The method is characterized in that fine hair is suspended inside the tank and the suspended fine hair is conveyed.

Further, in order to achieve the above-mentioned second object, in the invention according to claim 6, in the hair-implanting gun in which the fine hairs are ejected toward the work, and the hair is implanted, An annular charging electrode is provided on the peripheral wall.

[0019]

[Operation] Therefore, in the present invention, air is blown from the air blowing body to the entire upper surface of the fine hair layer in a state where the fine hair is accommodated in the tank, whereby the fine hair is suspended in the tank. And this suspended fine hair is
It is sucked by a suction nozzle or the like and conveyed from inside the tank.

Further, in the present invention, when the fine hairs are conveyed, the air blowing body is moved up and down by the elevating mechanism between a contact position in contact with the upper surface of the fine hair layer and a separated position spaced upward from the contact position. . As a result, a turbulent air flow is generated when the air is blown to the fine hair layer, and the floating effect of the fine hair is promoted.

Further, in the present invention, when the air blowing body is moved up and down, the switching means switches the blowing of air from the air blowing body to be weak at the contact position with respect to the fine hair layer and strong at the separated position.
As a result, the turbulence of the air is changed, and the floating effect of the fine hairs is further promoted.

Moreover, in the present invention, the weight of the air blowing body is balanced by the balance weight when the air blowing body is moved up and down. Therefore, the air blowing body can be easily moved up and down with a small driving force.

In the present invention, the tilting body is tilted and moved up and down by the actuating means of the lifting mechanism, and the lift bar is lifted up and down with respect to the tilting body through the insertion hole in association with this tilting and up and down movement.

[0025]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a fine hair transporting device, a transporting method and a hair transplanting gun in a hair transplanting device embodying the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the base 1 is formed in a flat plate shape, and a plurality of casters 2 are attached to the lower surface thereof. The square tubular tank 3 for fine hair is the base 1.
The lid 4 is placed on the upper surface, and the lid 4 is openably and closably attached to the upper opening. The thin bristles 5 are supplied and housed in the tank 3 through the upper opening thereof, and are piled up inside the tank 3. The exhaust port 6 is formed in the upper part of the peripheral wall of the tank 3, and a bag-shaped filter 7 is attached to the outer edge of the opening.

The column 8 is erected on the base 1 adjacent to the tank 3, and a fixed rail 9 extending vertically is laid on the side surface of the column 8. Lifting bar 1 that constitutes the lifting mechanism 10.
1 is movably supported by a fixed rail 9 via a movable rail 12, and a mounting plate 13 is fixed to the upper end thereof.
The support tube 14 having a rectangular tubular shape is suspended and fixed to the mounting plate 13, and the lower end thereof penetrates the top wall of the tank 3 and projects into the tank 3.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the first supply pipe 15, the second supply pipe 16 and the suction pipe 17 are fitted and supported in the support cylinder 14 and are moved up and down integrally with the support cylinder 14. It An air blowing body 18 having substantially the same shape and size as the internal shape of the tank 3 is connected and supported to the lower end of the first supply pipe 15 and is formed in a substantially lattice shape by the pipe material. A large number of air outlets 19 are formed on the peripheral wall of the air blowing body 18 at predetermined intervals, and the air supplied from the first supply pipe 15 is blown from the air outlets 19 to the entire upper surface of the fine hair layer to obtain fine hair. 5 is suspended in the upper space of the tank 3.

The suction nozzle 20 is connected to and supported by the lower end of the suction pipe 17 in the center of the tank 3, and the second supply pipe 16 is connected to the side surface thereof. Then, since air is blown upward from the second supply pipe 16 into the suction nozzle 20, a suction air flow from the lower end opening of the suction nozzle 20 to the suction pipe 17 is generated by the ejector effect, and this suction air flow is generated. By this, the floating fine hairs 5 are sucked from the inside of the tank 3. The suction nozzle 20, the second supply pipe 16, the suction pipe, the air pump 31 described later, and the like constitute a conveying means.

Next, the elevating mechanism 10 will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the tilting body 21 is arranged on the upper surface of the support column 8 so as to be tiltable and vertically movable within a plane intersecting the elevating rod 11. It is set up. The insertion hole 22 is formed in the intermediate portion of the tilting body 21 for inserting the lifting rod 11, and is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the lifting rod 11. The air cylinder 23, which constitutes the operating means, is attached to the side surface of the column 8, and its piston rod 24 is connected to the tip of the tilting body 21.

When the piston rod 24 of the air cylinder 23 is projected, the tilting body 21 moves from the horizontal position P1 shown by the solid line in FIG. 7 to the tilted position P shown by the chain line.
It is tilted to 2, and the opening edge of the insertion hole 22 engages with the outer peripheral surface of the elevating rod 11. Continue to this state, piston rod 2
4, the tilting body 21 is lifted from the tilt position P2 to the upper position P3, and the lifting rod 11 and the support cylinder 14 are lifted together with the tilting body 21. Thereby,
The air blowing body 18 is lifted from the contact position Pa where it contacts the upper surface of the fine hair layer as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1 to the spaced position Pb which is separated above the upper surface of the fine hair layer as shown by the chain line.

In this state, when the piston rod 24 of the air cylinder 23 is retracted, the tilting body 21
Is lowered from the upper position P3 shown in FIG.
And the support cylinder 14 is integrally lowered. As a result, the air blowing body 18 is lowered from the separated position Pb shown in FIG. 1 and is arranged at the re-contact position Pc where it comes into contact with the upper surface of the fine hair layer reduced by the suction of the fine hairs 5 from the suction nozzle 20. At the re-contact position Pc, the air blowing body 18,
The lowering of the support cylinder 14 and the elevating rod 11 is stopped, and only the tilting body 21 is returned and tilted with the retracting operation of the piston rod 24, and the opening edge of the insertion hole 22 is separated from the outer peripheral surface of the elevating rod 11. After that, the tilting plate moves to the horizontal position P shown in FIG.
It is restored to 1.

The piston rod 24 of the air cylinder 23 is switched between the projecting operation and the retracting operation after a predetermined time set by a timer (not shown), and the above operation is repeated. As a result, the air blowing body 18 is moved up and down within a predetermined range while blowing air from the air blowing port 19 onto the upper surface of the fine hair layer, and the raising and lowering range of the air blowing body 18 is increased according to the decrease of the fine hairs 5 in the tank 3. It is gradually moved downward.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a pair of pulleys 2
The column 5 is rotatably supported by the column 8. Rope 2
6 is fixed to the lower end of the elevating rod 11 at one end and extends around the pulley 25. The balance weight 27 is hung and fixed to the tip of the rope 26, and has a weight almost equal to the weight of the lifting members such as the lifting rod 11, the support tube 14 and the air blowing member 18, and the weights thereof are almost offset. . When the air blowing body 18 is moved up and down, the balance weight 27 balances the weight of the air blowing body 18 and the like, and the weight of the lifting members such as the air blowing body 18 and the support tube 14 hardly acts on the fine hair layer. It is like this. The weight acting on the upper surface of the fine hair layer is about several grams. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fine hair layer from being compressed by the weight of the elevating member.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 8 and 9, the hair-implanting gun 28 is connected to the tip of the suction pipe 17 and is sucked into the suction pipe 17 from the suction nozzle 20.
Are sprayed onto a work (not shown) through the spray passage 29 of the flocking gun 28. The annular charging electrode 30 is embedded and fixed in the peripheral wall of the ejection passage 29, and the charging electrode 30 applies a potential having a predetermined relationship with the work potential to the fine hairs 5 passing through the ejection passage 30. Then, due to the potential relationship between the fine hairs 5 and the work, the fine hairs 5 are planted on the surface of the work in a standing state.

Next, the air supply circuit of the flocking device configured as described above will be described. As shown in FIG.
Four air supply circuits 33 to 36 are connected to the discharge side of the air pump 31 via a filter 32. A pressure adjusting valve 37 and a switching valve 38 are connected to the first air supply circuit 33, and when the switching valve 38 is opened by a hand switch of the hair transplanting gun 28, the first air supply circuit 33 transfers the second supply pipe 16 to the second supply pipe 16. Air is supplied to the suction nozzle 20 via the.

A pressure adjusting valve 39 and a switching valve 40 are connected to the second air supply circuit 34. When the switching valve 40 is opened, air is supplied from the second air supply circuit 34 through the first supply pipe 15. High-pressure air is supplied to the spray body 18. A pressure adjusting valve 41 and a switching valve 42 are connected to the third air supply circuit 35, and when the switching valve 42 is opened, the pressure control valve 41 and the switching valve 42 are opened from the third air supply circuit 35 to the first supply pipe 15.
Low-pressure air is supplied to the air blowing body 18 via the. The switching valves 40 and 42 are closed when one is opened.

Further, in this embodiment, the switching means is constituted by the switching valves 40, 42 of the second and third air supply circuits 34, 35. Then, when the air blowing body 18 is raised to the separated position Pb shown in FIG. 1 by the lifting mechanism 10, the switching valve 4 of the second air supply circuit 34.
0 is opened, and high-pressure air is strongly blown from the air blowing body 18 to the fine hair layer. Also, the air blowing body 18
Is lowered to the contact position Pa or the re-contact position Pc, the switching valve 42 of the third air supply circuit 35 is opened,
Low-pressure air is weakly blown from the air blowing body 18 to the fine hair layer. The switching timing of the changeover valves 40 and 42, that is, the up / down reversing timing of the air blowing body 18 is set by a timer (not shown) or by turning on / off a limit switch (not shown).

A pressure adjusting valve 43, a switching valve 44 and variable throttle nozzles 45 and 46 are connected to the fourth air supply circuit 36. Then, by switching the switching valve 44, air is supplied to the lower chamber or the upper chamber of the air cylinder 23, the piston rod 24 is projected or retracted, and the air blowing body 18 is moved up or down.

Next, the operation of the fine hair transfer device, the transfer method, and the hair-implanting gun in the hair-implanting device configured as described above will be described. Now, when the device is activated with the thin hairs 5 accommodated in the tank 3, the air pump 31 is activated. Then, the air from the air pump 31 is supplied to the air blowing body 18 in the tank 3 through the second or third air supply circuits 34 and 35 and the first supply pipe 15, and the air blow-out port 19 forms the fine hair layer. Sprayed on the entire top surface. As a result, the fine hairs 5 are agitated and suspended in the upper space of the tank 3.

When the hand switch of the flocking gun 28 is turned on and the switching valve 38 of the first air supply circuit 33 is opened, air is supplied to the suction nozzle 20 via the second supply pipe 16. As a result, a suction air flow is generated in the suction nozzle 20, and the fine hairs 5 floating in the tank 3 are sucked from the suction nozzle 20 into the suction pipe 17 and conveyed to the flocking gun 28 side.

Further, as described above, the air blowing body 18
When air is blown from the fine hair layer to the fine hair layer, the lifting mechanism 1
0, the air blowing body 18 comes into contact with the upper surface of the fine hair layer as shown in FIG.
Then, it is moved up and down within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 100 mm) between the separated position Pb and the separated position Pb. As a result, a turbulent air flow is generated when the air is blown to the fine hair layer, and the floating effect of the fine hair 5 can be promoted. For this reason, the fine hairs 5 are effectively rolled up from the entire upper portion of the fine hair layer and stirred and suspended.

Further, when the air blowing body 18 is moved up and down, the switching valves 40 and 42 of the second and third air supply circuits 34 and 35 are switched alternately. As a result, the air blowing from the air blowing body 18 is switched to be weaker at the contact position Pa and the re-contact position Pc with respect to the fine hair layer and stronger at the separated position Pb. Therefore, the turbulence of the air is changed, the floating effect of the fine hairs 5 can be further promoted, and the fine hairs 5 are uniformly floated from the entire upper part of the fine hair layer. That is, if the state where the air blowing is weak is continuously maintained, the floating stirring flow may be insufficient. Further, if the air blowing is maintained in a strong continuous state, when the air blowing body 18 is processed, the portion of the fine hair layer that has been air blown is scooped,
It may be impossible to convey the fine hairs 5 from the entire upper portion of the fine hair layer by a uniform amount.

Moreover, when the air blowing body 18 is moved up and down by the lifting mechanism 10, the balance weight 27 balances the weight of the lifting member including the air blowing body 18, and the weight of the lifting member is significantly reduced. Therefore, not only the fine hair layer is not compressed, but also the lifting member such as the air blowing body 18 can be easily lifted and lowered by the air cylinder 23 of the lifting mechanism 10 with a small driving force.

When the air blowing member 18 is moved up and down, the tilting member 21 is moved by the air cylinder 23 of the lifting mechanism 10.
Is tilted and moved up and down, and the lift bar 11 is moved up and down with respect to the tilting body 21 while being engaged with and disengaged from the tilting body 21 through the insertion hole 22. Thereby, the air blowing body 1
8 is moved up and down within a predetermined range, and is moved downward in accordance with the decrease of the fine hairs 5 in the tank 3. Therefore, the air blowing body 18 can always be maintained at the height position corresponding to the upper surface of the fine hair layer in the tank 3, and the air can be blown to the upper surface of the fine hair layer in a stable state. Moreover, it does not require a complicated mechanism for detecting the upper surface position of the fine hair layer,
The structure can be simplified. Then, as described above, the fine hairs 5 conveyed to the hair-implanting gun 28 are ejected from the ejection passage 29 of the hair-implanting gun 28 toward the work, and are implanted on the surface of the work via an adhesive or the like. When the fine bristles 5 are jetted through the jet passage 29, the ring-shaped charging electrode 30 arranged on the peripheral wall of the jet passage 29 charges the fine bristles 5 to a predetermined potential with a constant relationship with the potential of the work. It
Therefore, the fine hairs 5 are planted on the surface of the work in a standing state by utilizing the potential difference from the work.

Further, in this embodiment, since the charging electrode 30 is formed in an annular shape, the injection passage 29 of the hair-implanting gun 28 is not fragmented and narrowed. Therefore, when charging the fine hairs 5, there is no possibility that the charging electrode 30 will resist the passage of the fine hairs 5 or that the injection passage 29 will be clogged with fine hairs. Therefore, by using the hair-implanting gun 28, the fine hairs 5 can be smoothly and uniformly sprayed toward the work while being charged to a predetermined potential.

The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-mentioned embodiment, but can be modified as follows, for example. (1) The tank has a shape other than the rectangular tube shape, for example, a cylindrical shape. In the case of the cylindrical shape, the air blowing body 18 needs to be circular. (2) The air blowing body 18 is formed in a hollow flat plate shape, and the air blowing port 19 is formed on the entire lower surface thereof. (3) Providing the air blowing bodies 18 in a plurality of upper and lower stages. (4) A plurality of suction nozzles 20 are provided, and the suction flow from each of the suction nozzles 20 is joined before the hair-implanting gun 28. (5) Others The configurations of the elevating mechanism 10, the air blowing body 18, the suction nozzle 20, and the hair-implanting gun 28 may be changed appropriately.
