Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cloth press, which is used, for example, when press-bonding an interlining to a cloth for sewing such as clothes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, an interlining is adhered to a cloth such as a collar of a cutter shirt. The interlining is glued to one side of the cloth by thermocompression bonding and processed into various shapes. Conventionally, a cloth press machine used for thermocompression bonding of such an interlining is provided with an introduction roller and a delivery roller at an entrance portion and an exit portion of a conveyance passage of a conveyance table, respectively, and a conveyance belt is wound around these rollers. Electric heaters are provided above and below the transfer passage, and a pressure roller is provided in front of the electric heaters. And
Layered fabric and glued on one side,
The conveyor belt draws it into the conveyor passage, the electric heater heats the glue surface, and the pressure roller presses it to bond the interlining and the cloth. Among them, the electric heater is required to uniformly heat the glue surface, and a box type heater having a large heating area is used. Specifically, heater boxes are provided above and below the transfer passage, and the heater main body is arranged at the center of the inner bottom surface. At the time of heating, the heat of the heater body is transferred to the heater box, and the adhesive surface is heated by the heat radiation from the heating surface toward the transfer passage.

[0003]

However, in such a conventional interlining press machine, since the heater size is large and the transfer passage is formed to be relatively long, not only from the heating surface of the heater box but also the box. The amount of heat radiated from the side and back of the box also increases. Therefore, the heating efficiency of the heater is poor,
Power consumption tends to be excessive. It also results in damage to the fibers as the fabric is exposed to high heat for long periods of time. Further, in the conventional interlining press machine, since the heat dissipation area of the heater box is large, heat easily leaks to the outside of the press machine and the ambient temperature easily rises, which is harsh for the operator who sets the cloth and interlining. Easy working environment.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and enables efficient operation of the cloth passing through the conveying passage with reduced power consumption, and moreover, the press machine. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cloth pressing machine which is designed to improve the working environment by reducing heat dissipation to the surroundings.

[0005]

To this end, the cloth pressing machine according to the present invention comprises a conveying means capable of conveying cloth in a fixed direction,
A heating unit that is provided adjacent to the conveying passage of the conveying unit and is capable of heating the cloth surface of the cloth, and is provided in front of the heating unit in the traveling direction of the conveying passage, and presses the cloth surface of the cloth. In the fabric pressing machine having a possible pressurizing means, the heating means is a ceramic heater. The transport means includes an introduction roller provided at an entrance of the transport passage, a delivery roller provided at an exit of the transport passage, and a transport belt wound around the introduction roller and the delivery roller. To do. The pressurizing unit includes a pressurizing roller provided above the transport passage and a push-up plate provided below the pressurizing roller. Further, the ceramic heaters are arranged in a line in the width direction of the transfer passage. Further, the ceramic heater is provided with a heater case having an opening on the transfer passage side.

[0006]

In the fabric pressing machine of the present invention, when the interlining and the fabric are bonded together, the interlining and the fabric are drawn into the transport passage by the transport means and passed through the position adjacent to the ceramic heater. At this time, the glue surface is melted by receiving heat from the heating surface of the ceramic heater. Next, the interlining and the cloth are pressed by the pressing means to bond them. By arranging the ceramic heaters in a line in the width direction of the transfer passage, it is possible to efficiently heat the entire paste surface without unevenness with a small heating area. Further, since the transfer passage can be shortened, the heat of the heater is less leaked to the surroundings. Furthermore, when the ceramic heater is provided with a heater case having an opening on the side of the transfer passage, a heating chamber capable of heating the transfer passage is formed in the heater case, so that heat leakage to the outside is reduced. The glue surface can be heated more efficiently.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st Example which applied this invention to the interlining press machine is shown in FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the interlining press machine 1 includes a carrier table 2, an auxiliary table 3, a cover panel 4, and a control panel 5. The cloth A and the interlining B to be adhered are fed between the carrier table 2 and the cover panel 4 and conveyed. Inside the cover panel 4, ceramic heaters 10a, 10b, 10c capable of heating the cloth surface are provided. As shown in FIG.
A pressure roller 12 that presses the fabric A and the interlining B is provided in front of the conveying paths b and 10c in the traveling direction.

The auxiliary table 3 has a table surface on which the fabric A and the interlining material B can be placed. As shown in FIG. 3, the table surface of the auxiliary table 3 is below the auxiliary table 3 so that the table surface is horizontal. The supporting leg 14 for holding is fixed. The operator puts the fabric A and the interlining B on top of each other on the auxiliary table 3 and slides them on the side of the carrier table 2 to feed them.

As shown in FIG. 3, an upper introduction roller 15 and a lower introduction roller 16 are provided at the entrance of the conveying passage. Further, a pressure roller, 12 and a delivery roller 17 are provided at the exit of the transport passage. The upper conveying belt 18 is wound around the upper introducing roller 15 and the pressure roller 12, and the lower conveying belt 19 is wound around the lower introducing roller 16 and the sending roller 17. The cloth A and the interlining B are the upper conveyor belt 18
3 and the lower conveyor belt 19 and is conveyed leftward in the conveyance path in FIG.

An upper arm shaft 21 and a lower arm shaft 22 are provided inside the cover panel 4 and the carrier 2.

A push-up plate 23 is provided below the pressure roller 12. In the push-up plate 23, a spring 24 and a sliding plate 25 are inserted into a column 23 a, and a dogleg-shaped operation lever 26 is attached to the lower surface of the sliding plate 25. A lever 27 for reinforcement is attached to the tip of the push-up plate 23. Support P
When the operation lever 26 rotates with the fulcrum as a fulcrum, the sliding plate 25 ascends in conjunction therewith, compresses the spring 24 and pushes the push-up plate 23 to the pressure roller 12 side. That is, the fabric A and the interlining B are pressed by the pressure roller 12 and the push-up plate 24.

Here, regarding the pressurization between the cloth and the interlining,
In the conventional configuration, since the cloth surface is sandwiched between so-called lines by the peripheral surface of the upper roller and the peripheral surface of the lower roller and pressure is applied, if any one of the rollers is displaced, the pressing force applied to the cloth surface is dispersed. However, the adhesion may be insufficient. On the other hand, in the case of the above-described embodiment, the pressurization of the cloth and the interlining is performed by so-called lines and surfaces by the peripheral surface of the pressurizing roller 12 and the plate surface of the push-up plate 24. Even if the mounting position is slightly displaced, the pressing pressure on the cloth surface will not become uneven.

A roll-up prevention plate 28 is provided in front of the feed roller 17 in the traveling direction. Entrapment prevention plate 28
Has an inclined surface of a predetermined angle and extends downward of the carrier 2. The fabric A and the interlining B that have passed through the delivery roller 17 slide down on the roll-in prevention plate 28 and are received by the worker. In addition, a winding-up prevention plate 29 is provided in front of the pressing roller 12 in the traveling direction so that the cloth after adhesion is prevented from being wound up while being attached to the upper conveyor belt 18.

Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the ceramic heater 10a is provided at a position above the transfer passage in the cover panel 4.
10b and 10c are provided. Each heater is located on the back side across the upper conveyance belt 18 of the conveyance passage, and its heating surface is directed to the conveyance passage. The heating surface of each heater is arranged at a predetermined distance from the belt surface of the upper conveyor belt 18. When the fabric A and the interlining B pass through the transport passage, heat radiation from the heating surface is transmitted to the upper transport belt 18 to heat the fabric surface. As a material for the ceramic heaters 10a, 10b, and 10c, a far-infrared radiator such as cordurite is used. Also, the ceramic heaters 10a, 10
Regarding the mounting positions of b and 10c, they are mounted only on the upper side of the transport passage and not on the lower side of the transport passage. However, this is because the amount of heat radiated from the heating surface of the heater is large, and the adhesive surface is attached only from above. This is because the ability to dissolve can be sufficiently secured.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the ceramic heaters 10a, 10b and 10c are attached to the heater case 30. Three ceramic heaters 10a, 10b, and 10c are arranged in a line in the width direction of the transfer passage. Thus, the heaters 10a, 10b, 10c
By arranging the sheets in a row in the width direction of the transport passage, the transport distance can be shortened, and the adhesive surface can be heated uniformly and evenly. The heater 10b at the center is the heater 10a at both ends.
The heating area is smaller than 10 and 10c, but this is because the heat is hard to escape in the central portion of the transport passage, and the temperature tends to be higher than that at both ends.

An electrode terminal 32 is provided at the center of the upper surface of each heater.
Are provided, and each terminal is connected to a power supply terminal inside the control panel 5. As a power source for the heater, an AC power source for 200 V is used, for example.

The heater case 30 comprises a heater cover 34 and a holding arm 35. Holding arms 35 are attached at equal intervals in the length direction of the heater cover 34. The heater cover 34 includes the ceramic heaters 10a, 10b,
It is formed in an umbrella shape so as to cover the side surface and the upper surface of 10c, and an opening is formed on the transport passage side. Heater cover 3
If necessary, the inner surface of 4 may be plated to serve as a reflecting mirror.

The heater cover 34 has side plates 34a and 34b extending in the width direction of the transfer passage. A bent portion 34c bent in an arc shape is formed at the tip of the side plate 34a, and the bent portion 34c is positioned slightly above the belt surface of the upper transport belt 18 as shown in FIG. Has been extended to. Even if the upper conveyor belt 18 and the bent portion 34c come into contact with each other, the lower surface of the bent portion 34c has an arc shape, so that the belt surface is not caught. The hot air in the heating chamber formed inside the heater cover 34 is discharged from the side plate 3
It is difficult for the particles to be blocked by 4a and flow out to the inlet of the cover panel 4, and to be blocked by the side plate 34b and the pressure roller 12 to easily flow to the outlet of the cover panel. That is, the heater cover 34 serves as the ceramic heater 10.
It has a heat retaining function of a, 10b, 10c.

As shown in FIG. 6, both ends of the holding arm 35 are bent into an L shape, and the engaging surface 35 is attached to the tip of the arm.
a is formed. The distance between the locking surfaces 35a in the width direction is as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the spacing is set to correspond to the width of the rail 36 provided inside the cover panel 4. When the heater case 30 is set in the cover panel 4, the rail 36
The locking surface 35a is slid and inserted into. Accordingly, when repairing or replacing the ceramic heaters 10a, 10b, 10c, the cover panel 4 can be opened and the heater case 30 can be easily taken in and out.
Maintenance of 10b and 10c becomes easy.

As shown in FIG. 3, a thermostat 38 is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the bent portion 34c of the heater case 30. The thermostat 38 adjusts the heating temperature of the ceramic heaters 10a, 10b, 10c.

The drive motor 40 shown in FIG. 2 is housed inside the control panel 5, and the drive belt is wound around the drive pulley 41 and the driven pulleys 44 and 45 of the drive motor 40. When the drive motor 40 operates, the driving force is transmitted to the pressure roller 12 and the delivery roller 17 via the drive shaft 43.

As shown in FIG. 1, an emergency stop switch 51, a power switch 52, a temperature adjusting dial 53 and a speed adjusting dial 54 are provided on the front surface of the control panel 5. The emergency stop switch 51 instantaneously stops the conveyance when the cloth is entangled in the conveyance passage, and a touch-type switch is used. The temperature adjustment dial 53 sets the detection temperature of the thermostat 38, and the heating temperature of the ceramic heaters 10a, 10b, 10c is adjusted by this. The heating temperature is appropriately set to an optimum temperature depending on the type of cloth such as cotton and silk. The speed adjusting dial 54 sets the carrying speed of the drive motor 40, and the optimum carrying speed is selected according to, for example, the heating temperature and the thickness of the cloth.

Further, pressure adjusting dials 56 and 57 are provided on the inner side and the outer side with the side plate of the control panel 5 interposed therebetween. The pressure adjusting dial 56 shifts the vertical position of the upper introducing roller 15 to adjust the gripping strength of the cloth of each roller at the entrance. Also, the pressure adjustment dial 5
7 is for adjusting the pressing pressure between the pressure roller 12 and the push-up plate 23 by shifting the vertical position of the sliding plate 25. The press pressure between the pressure roller 12 and the push-up plate 23 is displayed on the gauge 58 on the front surface of the transport table 2. As for the setting of the press pressure, the optimum press pressure is appropriately set according to the type and thickness of the fabric.

Regarding the manufacturing method of the cover panel and the control panel, for example, an iron plate processed into a predetermined shape is assembled, or a resin such as PDCP (polydicyclopentadiene) FRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) is formed into a predetermined shape. It can be molded. When the resin is used, the weight of the cover panel can be reduced and the curved surface can be easily molded, which is excellent in design. In particular, when PDCP is used, moldability, corrosion resistance, paintability, etc. are greatly improved. It is also possible to lay a heat insulating mat inside the cover panel or the control panel.

Next, a method of using the interlining press will be described. When adhering the fabric A and the interlining B, first, the power switch 52 is turned on, and the heating temperature is set by the temperature adjustment dial 53. After the power switch 52 is turned on, the ceramic heaters 10a, 10b, 10c are preheated and waited until a predetermined set temperature is reached. Next, the fabric A with the interlining B stacked thereon is placed on the auxiliary stand 3, inserted into the entrance of the cover panel 4, and held between the upper introduction roller 15 and the lower introduction roller. Then, the cloth A and the interlining B are sandwiched between the upper conveyor belt 18 and the lower conveyor belt 19 and fed into the conveyor passage. The fabric A and the interlining B are heated via the upper conveyor belt 18 when passing below the ceramic heaters 10a, 10b, 10c, and the glue surface is melted when reaching a predetermined temperature. Next, when reaching the pressure roller 12, the cloth A and the interlining material B are press-compressed to each other, and the delivery roller 1
It is sent to the exit part by 7. After press-pressing, the glue is solidified and the bonding between the fabric A and the interlining B is completed.

Here, regarding the heating efficiency of the interlining press machine 1, the ceramic heaters 10a, 10b, 10 are shown.
Since the glue surface is heated in a short time with a relatively small heating area by c, the power consumption is small and the heating efficiency is significantly improved as compared with the conventional electric heater. Specifically, for example, what was conventionally about 3.6 kW can be reduced to 1.0 kW or less according to the configuration of the above embodiment. Further, in the interlining press machine 1, since the heating time per unit area of the cloth surface is short, the cloth is less likely to be damaged and the finished product of the adhesive is good.

Further, in the interlining press machine 1 of the above-mentioned embodiment, since the heat radiation to the outside of the ceramic heaters 10a, 10b, 10c is small, the ambient temperature hardly rises even when the press machine is operated for a long time. Therefore, the worker can work in a comfortable environment and productivity can be improved.
Further, in the interlining press machine 1 of the above-described embodiment, since the ceramic heater is relatively small, the transport distance can be shortened, and the press machine can be made compact and lightweight. Specifically, in the conventional size, the carrying length of the carrying table 2 was about 100 cm, but in the above-mentioned embodiment,
It can be shortened to about 50 cm, which is half. Also, the total weight can be reduced to less than half that of the conventional one.

In addition, with respect to the effect of the above-mentioned embodiment compared with the conventional one, since the configuration of the above-mentioned embodiment employs the ceramic heaters 10a, 10b, 10c, the preheating time after power-on can be shortened. . Conventionally, since the heater size is large, it takes 2 before the set temperature is reached.
Although it took more than 0 minutes, according to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, the preheating can be completed in a few minutes and the work can be started quickly.

Regarding the installation position of the heating surface of the heater, conventionally, in order to easily transfer the heat from the heater box to the conveyor belt, the heating surface of the heater box and the heating surface of the heater box should be close to each other so as to come into contact with each other. It was provided. Therefore, the conveyor belt is easily damaged, and the belt replacement cycle is relatively short. On the other hand, in the case of the above-described embodiment, the ceramic heaters 10a and 1 having good heating efficiency are provided.
Since 0b and 10c are used, the belt surface and the heater heating surface can be provided sufficiently apart from each other, the contact between them can be prevented, and the life of the conveyor belt can be extended. In addition, the movement of the conveyor belt becomes smooth, and the transportation speed becomes stable.

Further, regarding the length of the conveyor belt, conventionally, since the conveyor distance was long due to the size of the heater box, the conveyor belt was relatively long accordingly. Therefore, when the belt is replaced or inspected, the work of removing the cover panel and the belt is complicated and requires a long time. On the other hand, according to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, since the transport distance is short and the transport belt is also short, the belt replacement and inspection can be performed easily and quickly without the need to attach and detach the panel and the belt. be able to.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.
The interlining press 60 of the second embodiment is provided with ceramic heaters 61a, 61b, 61c of the same size in a heater case. Ceramic heaters 61a, 61b, 6
1c has the same structure as the central heater 10b of the first embodiment, and is arranged in a line in the width direction of the transfer passage. During heating, ceramic heaters 61a, 61b, 61
When the cloth passes below c, the cloth surface is heated uniformly along the width direction via the conveyor belt. According to the second embodiment, the power consumption of the heater can be further reduced, and the heat leakage to the surroundings of the press machine can be further reduced. Further, the ceramic heater can be attached at a relatively low cost, and the manufacturing cost of the interlining press machine can be reduced.

Although a rectangular ceramic heater is used in the first and second embodiments, a rod-shaped or disk-shaped ceramic heater may be used as another embodiment of the present invention. It is possible. Further, although the present invention is applied to the bonding of the interlining material in the above-mentioned embodiments, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can also be applied to ironing of cloth.

[0033]

As described above, according to the cloth pressing machine of the present invention, since the cloth to be pressed is heated by using the ceramic heater, the following effects can be obtained. (a) Since the heating efficiency is significantly improved, the power consumption can be saved and the economical operation can be performed. (b) Heat is less likely to leak to the periphery of the press machine, which improves the working environment. (c) The heating time of the cloth surface can be shortened, the fibers are not easily damaged, and the product quality can be improved.
