Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a processing apparatus used for storage processing of textile products such as futons and clothes.

(Prior Art) When storing textile products such as futons and clothes, it is common to fold these textile products and store them directly in a closet or closet, and in some cases,
It is also practiced to store these fiber products in a storage bag and then store and store them in a closet or a closet in this state.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) By the way, when the textile product is stored as described above, since the textile product contains a large amount of air, it occupies a large volume, and the storage space in the closet or the closet is occupied. In some cases, it cannot be used effectively.

In particular, due to recent housing conditions, etc., the space for closets and the like is small, but due to the recent abundant material background of the times, there are also large amounts of personally owned textile products that should be stored in closets or closets. , How to store these things rationally is becoming an important issue in our daily lives.

The present invention has been made based on such a background, and for improving the storage efficiency of a textile product in a storage space such as an existing closet or a closet, it is possible to effectively use these storage spaces. An object of the present invention is to provide a processing apparatus for storing a textile product, and particularly to improve workability of processing operation using the processing apparatus.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve this object, the present invention has an apparatus main body configured by installing a vacuum pump and a drive motor for driving the vacuum pump in an enclosure, and an electric heater. While forming a sealing device configured by using a separate body from the device main body, the suction port of the vacuum pump of the device main body communicates with the deaeration port via a suction hose, the sealing device is a grip and this. And an electric heater is installed at each tip so that the grip and the swing arm are T-shaped, and these electric heaters operate the swing arm. The housing is rectangular in a plan view, and the housing is provided with a portable holding member that connects the central portions of the side plates on the short sides on both sides in a plan view, and further, the vacuum. A pump and a drive motor are integrally formed with each other to form a vacuum unit, and the vacuum unit is on a surface connecting the central portions of the side plates on the short sides of the both sides in the housing in plan view. It is characterized in that it is arranged at a position biased to one side plate side.

(Operation) According to the present invention, the textile product in the storage bag is aspirated by the vacuum pump to eliminate air contained therein,
Since it becomes compact and the inside of the storage bag is kept in a sealed state by sealing the opening of the storage bag in that state, the textile product can be stored in a compact state.

Then, a heavy vacuum pump or drive motor is housed in the housing to form the main body of the device, and a sealing device having an electric heater is formed separately from the main body of the device. The work of sealing the storage bag, which is performed after the textile product is stored in it, can be performed using a lightweight sealing device, and the workability is good. Moreover, the sealing device of the present application has a grip and a swing arm pivotally supported by the grip, and an electric heater is installed at each tip so that the grip and the swing arm are T-shaped, These electric heaters are made to come into contact with or separate from each other by operating the swing arm.

Therefore, even when the opening to be sealed in the storage bag is longer than the length of the electric heater of the sealing device, the sealing operation for gripping the grip and operating the swing arm is performed plural times while shifting the sealing device along the opening. By performing it separately, sealing can be easily performed, and workability is good.

In addition, since the degassing port is connected to the suction port of the vacuum pump of the device body through the suction hose, the position of the storage bag containing the device body and the textile product can be adjusted when sucking air in the storage bag. Since the position of the degassing port can be adjusted by the suction hose without moving, the workability of the suction work is also good. In addition, in the housing which is rectangular in plan view, the vacuum pump and the drive motor, which are heavy objects, are arranged as an integral vacuum unit on the surface connecting the central portions of the side plates on the short sides on both sides. Yes, since a portable holding member that connects the central portions of the side plates on the short sides on both sides of the housing is installed, when carrying the device main body through the portable holding member, the carrying holding member can be mounted in a direction orthogonal to the carrying holding member. Easy to carry with little unbalanced load.

Since the vacuum unit is arranged in the housing at a position deviated to one side plate side of the short sides of the both sides, the space formed on the other side is used for other components. The eccentric load in the direction along the carrying holding member can be offset to a certain extent by the carrying method such as the weight of other components thus installed and the heavy side of the carrying holding member being strongly lifted. Because it is done
It is easy to carry the device body through the portable holding member.

In the sealing device 3, if the swing arm 27 is gripped by the grip 25, The first and second heaters 26 and 28 are instantly heated to a predetermined temperature, and simultaneously perform a sandwiching operation.

Next, the processing operation for storing a textile product using the processing apparatus of this embodiment will be described by taking a futon as an example.

 First, the preparatory work will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the futon 31 as a textile product is folded into a predetermined storage shape (Fig. 3 (a)).

Next, the folded futon 31 is placed in the storage bag 32 at the opening 32a.
To store from.

The storage bag 32 has a size slightly larger than that of the futon 31 to be stored, and the folded shape of the futon 31 is maintained as it is in the stored state (FIG. 3 (b)).

The storage bag 32 is formed of a thermoplastic material having a good air barrier property as a material, for example, a nylon sheet coated with vinylidene chloride and a linear Roden polyethylene film laminated, for example, 0.1 mm. A thick sheet is previously formed into a bag shape.

After that, by using the sealing device 3 of the processing device 1 to form the first heat-sealing portion 33 in the opening 32a of the storage bag 32, the opening 32a is generally sealed (see FIG. c)), the opening 32a of the storage bag 32 is the first of the sealing device 3.
Since it is longer than the second heaters 26 and 28, the sealing device 3
While shifting along the opening 32a, the sealing operation is performed in plural times.

In this case, since the surface of the storage bag 32 is made of thermoplastic plastic, if it is sandwiched by the sealing device 3, it can be heat-sealed by the heat from the first and second heaters 26, 28.

In this sealing operation, the sealing device 3 is configured separately from the main body 2 as described above, and the main body 2 is a cord.
Since it is only connected at 18, the position and posture of the sealing device 3 can be freely adjusted, and the opening 32a
Even if the sealing operation is performed a plurality of times along the opening 32a
Since the grip 25 is gripped from the outside and the operation of the swing arm 27 is repeated, the workability is good and the sealing work can be performed efficiently.

Then, prior to this work, the opening 32a of the storage bag 32.
As shown by an imaginary line on one side, the tip portion of the suction hose 11 having a degassing port 11a is previously inserted, and the first heat-sealed portion 33 is left without being formed only in this portion. By
By forming the insertion port 34 for the suction hose 11, the following work can be performed efficiently and easily.

The storage bag 32 has an opening for the suction hose 11.
It may be formed separately from 32a.

Then, the vacuum pump 5 is driven to turn on the degassing port.
The air in the storage bag 32 is sucked from 11a through the suction hose 11 (arrow in FIG. 4).

Along with this, the air contained in the futon 31 stored in the storage bag 32 was discharged to the outside and was stored in the storage bag 32 in a natural state as shown in FIG. 6 (a). futon
The thickness of 31 is mainly thin as shown in FIG. 6 (b).

The suction operation of air by the vacuum pump 5 is performed so that the internal pressure of the storage bag 32 is, for example, about −400 to −600 mmHG with the vacuum gauge 17.

This is because it is possible to discharge the air in the storage bag 32 to the outside, which is good in terms of the temporal work efficiency of the vacuuming work, and at the same time, it is possible to achieve both the purpose of compacting the textile product and the storage bag 32. This is to ensure complete recovery of the textile product stored in the free state after opening.

During the suction work, the degassing port 11a is connected to the suction port of the vacuum pump 5 through the suction hose 11, so that the degassing port 11a can be moved without moving the main body 2 or the storage bag 32. Since the position of can be adjusted, the workability of the suction work is good.

In this way, the sealing device 3 and the degassing port 11a are configured to be movable with respect to the main body 2 because the movement of the main body 2 having a heavy load is troublesome and the futon in a folded state is required. This is because when the storage bag 32 accommodating such textile products is moved, the folded shape collapses and the workability deteriorates. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently perform the predetermined processing work while avoiding these disadvantages.

After the internal pressure of the storage bag 32 reaches the specified pressure, suction hose
11 is taken out from the storage bag 32, and the insertion opening 34 not sealed by the first heat-sealing portion 33 is heat-sealed in the same manner as described above by using the sealing device 3 to form the second heat-sealing portion 35. Formed storage bag 32
The inside is sealed (Fig. 5).

By such a treatment, for example, the futon 31 can be downsized to about 15% of the natural state, and the winter clothes and the blanket can be downsized to about 13%.

Therefore, with respect to the closet 36 (Fig. 7 (a)) in which the futon 31 is stored in the natural state, by performing such a process, the spare space 37 is generated as shown in Fig. 7 (b), and the effective use of the space 37 is possible. Can be planned.

Further, in the processing apparatus 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the housing 4 is set to a small size to make the entire apparatus compact, and as shown in the figure, the serviceman 38 is a shoulder band.
With a portable holding member such as 39, it can be easily carried and the degree of freedom of business trip service is enhanced. That is, in this embodiment, the shoulder band 39
Is installed so as to connect the central portions of the side plates on both sides which are the short sides in the plan view of the housing 4.

Then, as described above, since the vacuum unit, which is a heavy load and includes the vacuum pump 5 and the like, is located on the surface connecting the central portions of the side plates 4a on both short sides on both sides in the housing 4,
The shoulder band 39 has a small unbalanced load in the direction orthogonal to the shoulder band 39 and is easy to carry.

Further, the vacuum unit is arranged in the housing 4 at a position biased to one side plate 4a side of the short sides on both sides, and the control device 6 and the like are utilized by utilizing a space formed on the other side. Since the other components are arranged, the unbalanced load in the direction along the shoulder band 39 is offset by the weight of the control device 6 and the like, so that the main body 2 can be easily carried.

Furthermore, since the textile product treated in this way is stored in the storage bag 32 in a closet etc., the textile product is protected from insects such as molds and dust during storage, and low pressure. Since it is stored in a state, insects and the like attached to the fiber product at the time of processing are killed, and the fiber product can be stored in a good state.

Although the storage bag 32 is formed of a thermoplastic sheet having a good air barrier property as described above, when the storage bag 32 is stored for a long period of time, for example, the storage bag 32 may have an ageless (trade name) If a deoxidizer such as) is enclosed together with the fiber product, the low pressure state in the storage bag 32 can be maintained for a long time.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the fiber product in the storage bag becomes compact because the air contained therein is eliminated by being sucked by the vacuum pump, and the opening of the storage bag is maintained in that state. Since the inside of the storage bag is maintained in a sealed state by sealing the, the textile product can be stored in a compact state.

Then, a heavy vacuum pump or drive motor is housed in the housing to form the main body of the device, and a sealing device having an electric heater is formed separately from the main body of the device. The work of sealing the storage bag, which is performed after the textile product is stored in it, can be performed using a lightweight sealing device, and the workability is good. Moreover, the sealing device of the present application has a grip and a swing arm pivotally supported by the grip, and an electric heater is installed at each tip so that the grip and the swing arm are T-shaped, These electric heaters are made to come into contact with or separate from each other by operating the swing arm.

Therefore, even when the opening to be sealed in the storage bag is longer than the length of the electric heater of the sealing device, the sealing operation for gripping the grip and operating the swing arm is performed plural times while shifting the sealing device along the opening. By performing it separately, sealing can be easily performed, and workability is good.

In addition, since the degassing port is connected to the suction port of the vacuum pump of the device body through the suction hose, the position of the storage bag containing the device body and the textile product can be adjusted when sucking air in the storage bag. Since the position of the degassing port can be adjusted by the suction hose without moving, the workability of the suction work is also good. In addition, the vacuum pump and the drive motor, which are heavy items, are arranged as an integral vacuum unit on the surface connecting the central portions of the side plates on the short sides on both sides in the rectangular housing in plan view. Yes, since a portable holding member that connects the central portions of the side plates on the short sides on both sides of the housing is installed, when carrying the device main body through the portable holding member, the carrying holding member can be mounted in a direction orthogonal to the carrying holding member. Easy to carry with little unbalanced load.

Since the vacuum unit is arranged in the housing at a position deviated to one side plate side of the short sides of the both sides, the space formed on the other side is used for other components. The eccentric load in the direction along the carrying holding member can be offset to a certain extent by the carrying method such as the weight of other components thus installed and the heavy side of the carrying holding member being strongly lifted. Because it is done
It is easy to carry the device body through the portable holding member.

As described above, according to the processing apparatus of the present invention, the textile product can be stored in a compact state, and the workability of the sealing work and the suction work, which are the main operations of the storage processing work, is improved. Since it is good, the workability of the processing work is good.
