Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garment stocker for keeping a garment (dustless garment) worn in a clean room or the like while keeping it clean.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, garments such as dust-free garments worn in a clean working space such as a clean room or a bio-clean room are stored in a clean state in order to keep them in a clean state. Stockers are used.

In this garment stocker, a vinyl curtain is stretched at the front opening of the stocker so that the garment can be taken in and out, and at the same time, clean air is constantly fed into the stocker to maintain the internal space at a positive pressure. This prevents dust from entering from outside and adheres to the garment. However, in such a garment stocker, the vinyl curtain must be opened and closed every time the garment is put in and taken out, which is difficult in terms of ease of use.

Further, since the garment is stored in the stocker as it is after wearing, there is a problem that dust particles attached to the inside and outside of the garment enter the stocker together with the garment.

Furthermore, because of the all-fresh system, air constantly flows out of the stocker to the outside, and the above-mentioned dust particles and odors attached to the garment diffuse to the outside.
Conversely, there was also a problem that external odor was sucked into the stocker and translocated to the garment.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points of the conventional garment stocker, so that the garment can be easily taken in and out while maintaining the cleanliness inside the stocker, and dust adhering to the garment can be removed. The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a garment stocker that can prevent the intrusion into the stocker.

A ceiling partition 11 is provided on the lower side, which is the outlet side of 0, to form a cavity 12 (positive pressure section).

The above-mentioned ceiling partition 11 has an air outlet 11a composed of a number of small holes or slits with a uniform distribution on the front surface.
And at the portion along the upper edge of the opening 4,
An air outlet 11b for generating an air curtain airflow flowing down along the opening surface is formed. In order for the airflow from the air outlet 11b to form an air curtain airflow, the area and the opening ratio of each opening of the air outlet 11a may be made smaller than that of the air outlet 11b, or another air blowing may be performed. It is necessary to distribute a sufficient air flow rate to the air outlet 11b by providing a fan or the like.

The floor plate constituting a part of the internal partition wall 6 is formed by a punching board having a large number of small holes formed on the whole surface, and serves as an air inlet 6b to the cavity 7.
The ceiling of the outer casing 5 is also provided with an air intake 13, and the air intake 13 is provided with a deodorizing filter made of an activated carbon filter.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a pipe hanger for locking the garment G, 15 denotes a separator for preventing the garment from interfering with each other, and 16 denotes a transparent vinyl noren, which also has a function of adjusting the air curtain airflow. I have.

Next, the air jet section 2 forms a small space 22 for the air jet, which is separated from the storage space 3 and the sliding door 21 in a portion adjacent to the storage space 3 of the stocker section 1. The small space 22 includes the outer casing 2
3 is formed by partitioning the inside with a partition wall 24, and a cavity 25 is formed between the partition wall 24 and the outer casing 23. Further, the front surface of the small space 22 is an entire opening 20 like the garment storage space 3.

At the ceiling of the small space 22, a panker nozzle 26 for an air jet is provided so as to penetrate the ceiling partition 24a. The bunker nozzle 26 is
A total of six garments G are provided at each of the hanging positions, corresponding to the hanging positions of the garments G determined by the pipe hanger 28 provided above the small space 22.

The pipe hanger 28 has a separator 29 fixed at the center thereof, the both sides of the separator 29 being garment hooking positions, and a pair of guide rails 30 provided on both side walls of the small space 22. The part is slidably supported. Thus, when the garment G is taken in and out of the small space 22, the garment G is pulled out toward the front side from the garment hooking position in the center of the small space.
Can be hung.

Further, the opening 2 of the ceiling partition 24a is formed.
An air outlet 27 for generating an air curtain airflow that flows down along the opening surface is formed at a portion along the upper edge of the opening 0.

The partition 2 near the floor of the small space 22
4, and near the lower end of the outer casing 23, air inlets 31, 32 are provided, and a pre-filter is attached to one of the air inlets 32. Further, the cavity 25 is formed by a lower cavity 25 b provided with the air intakes 31 and 32 by a partition wall 33.
(Negative pressure section) and an upper cavity 25a (positive pressure section). A blower fan 34 is provided in the lower cavity 25b, and an air cleaning filter 35 is provided in the upper cavity 25a. Incidentally, reference numeral 36 denotes a vinyl noren similar to 16.

Next, the operation will be described based on the above embodiment.

In the stocker section 1, the air sucked into the cavity 7 through the air intakes 6b and 13 by the operation of the blower fan 9 is purified by the air purifying filter 8 and sent to the cavity 12 by pressure to be blown out. A part of the air is blown out from the air outlet 11b to the opening 4 while being blown into the storage space 3 from the opening 11a, and forms an air curtain airflow flowing down along the opening 4.

The opening 4 is shielded by the air curtain airflow, so that the air blown out from the air outlet 11a is prevented from flowing out and diffusing from the opening 4, so that the air enters the storage space 3. Ceiling air outlet 11
The air flow from a to the air intake 6b of the floorboard is always generated, and only the air in the storage space 3 is circulated through the air intake 6b, so that the outside air does not enter through the opening 4.

Thus, dust particles are prevented from entering the storage space 3, and the inside of the storage space 3 has a cleanness M3.5-
It is always kept in a clean state of about M4.5 (Class 100 to 1000). In addition, the deodorizing filter provided in the air inlet 13 prevents the external odor from entering the stocker unit 2 and the odor of the garment G itself from flowing out. In spite of these advantages, the front surface of the stocker 1 is the entire opening 4, so that the garment G can be easily put in and out of the storage space 3.

When the garment G after being worn is stored in the stocker portion 1, the air curtain airflow is blown through the opening 4 so that dust particles together with the garment G can be prevented from entering the storage space 3 to some extent. . Even if the dust particles enter the storage space 3, the dust particles are collected by the air cleaning filter 8 by the airflow circulating through the air inlet 6b, so that the cleanliness in the storage space 3 is reduced. I will not do it.

However, depending on the working conditions of wearing the garment G and the cleanliness required inside and outside the stocker, there is a possibility that the garment G may be contaminated. In such a case, the garment G can be positively dust-removed in the air jet unit 2 as described below, and then stored in the stocker unit 1.

First, the garment G after wearing is put on a hanger H
And hooked on the pipe hanger 28 of the air jet unit 2. Then, the pipe hanger 28 is slid and moved to the center of the small space 22 of the air jet unit 2.

In this state, when the blower fan 34 is operated by operating the switch 37, the air sucked into the lower cavity 25b through the air inlets 31 and 32 is purified by the air purifying filter 35 and the upper cavity 25a. And injected into the small space 22 from the bunker nozzle 26.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the air injected from the center bunker nozzle 26c is mainly blown into the garment G from the opening of the neck of the garment G,
Exhausted from cuffs and hem. On the other hand, the air injected from the bunker nozzles 26s on both sides is blown against both shoulders of the garment G. By vibrating the garment G from both the inner and outer surfaces by these two systems of air injection, dust particles attached to the garment G are reliably blown off. Then, the dust particles blown down are discharged into the air intake 3
1 is sucked into the lower cavity 25b and collected by the air purification filter 35.

At this time, a part of the air fed into the upper cavity 25a is blown out from the air outlet 27, and flows down along the opening 20 of the small space 22 in the same manner as in the case of the stocker 1 described above. The opening 20 is blocked by the air curtain air flow, and the dust particles scattered in the small space 22 are prevented from being scattered outside.

After the dust is removed in the air jet section 2, the normally closed sliding door 21 is opened to communicate the small space 22 of the air jet section 2 with the storage space 3 of the stocker section 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the garment G is moved into the storage space 3 of the stocker unit 1 through the communication portion, and is hooked on the pipe hanger 14. As a result, the garment G can be stored in the storage space 3 without being taken out of the air curtain airflow 17.
This is advantageous in preventing dust from re-adhering to the garment G, preventing contamination of the garment G, and maintaining cleanliness in the storage space 3.

In the above embodiment, the case where the front surface of the stocker unit 1 is the entire opening 4 is shown, but the garment G is stored only from the air jet unit 2, and the garment G When only taking out is performed, the lower half of the front surface of the stocker unit 1 may be closed at about 1/2 to 1/3, and only the upper part may be opened. In addition to the sliding door 21 of the sliding type, a roll shutter, a bellows type shutter, or the like can be used as the partition member.

[0031]

The front opening type garment stocker of the present invention is constructed as described above, and has the following effects.

A garment storage space is formed inside the storage space, and an opening for inserting and removing the garment is formed in the front of the storage space, and an air cleaning filter and a clean air blowing unit are provided on the ceiling of the storage space. And air blowing means for pressure-feeding the air sucked through the air intake port provided on the floor and outside of the storage space to the air cleaning filter, and further, an air curtain airflow flowing down along the storage space opening. Since a means for generating is provided, there is no shielding member such as a vinyl curtain in the opening, so that the garment can be easily taken in and out, and the air curtain airflow prevents dust from entering the storage space from the opening. In addition, the air blown into the storage space from the ceiling is recirculated to the air purifying filter from the air intake on the floor. Outflow and outflow to dust and odor external concomitant of air to the outside is suppressed from the storage space.

Also, adjacent to the garment storage space,
The storage space has a small space partitioned by a partition member that can be opened and closed, and an air jet nozzle is provided on a ceiling portion of the small space, and air sucked from inside and outside the small space is subjected to an air cleaning filter. Since air blowing means for pressure-feeding to the air jet nozzle is provided, after the garment is dust-removed by the air jet, the partition member can be opened and communicated with the stocker side to be stored as it is, and the stocker of dust particles attached to the garment can be stored. Intrusion into the inside and reattachment of dust particles after dust removal can be prevented, and an effect of preventing contamination inside the garment and the stocker can be expected.
