Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing fiber filling.

The conventional method for manufacturing fiber stuffing for quilts, cushions, etc. is to make fiber sheets by applying raw cotton to a card machine, and then manually stacking the fiber sheets made in this way inside a bag-like side material to make fiber stuffing. It was done by For this reason, the production of one (1) piece of fiber stuffing requires an extremely large space and a large number of manpower, which has the disadvantage that productivity cannot be sufficiently increased. In addition, since raw cotton and fiber sheets were carried during each process, the cotton would become stiff, creating a poor working environment.

An object of the present invention is to provide a fiber filling manufacturing apparatus that solves the conventional problems as described above, significantly improves productivity, reduces the work space, and improves the work environment. This is what we aim to provide.

The fiber stuffing manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention that achieves the above object includes a hopper feeder serving as a raw cotton storage section and a measuring section, a raw cotton transfer section that transfers a certain amount of raw cotton supplied from the hopper feeder, and this raw cotton transfer section. a fiber opening section that opens the raw cotton supplied from the fiber opening section; a wind blowing section that sucks the short fibers opened from the raw cotton by the winding section and blows them out using pressurized air; The present invention is characterized in that a forming section for forming short fibers into a fiber filling is connected to each other.

(2) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a hopper feeder for raw cotton, 2 is a raw cotton transfer section, 3 is a fiber opening section, 4 is an air blowing section, and 5 is a forming section.
Each of these parts is connected to form a continuous process to constitute a fiber filling manufacturing apparatus.

The entire potsupah feeder 1 is surrounded by a chamber 6,
A transport conveyor 7°7 is provided in the lower part of the chamber 6, and a lifting conveyor 8 is provided in the front.
It is constructed by providing a measuring section 9 above and below. In this homber feeder 1, the conveying conhair 7 and the lifting conhair 8 operate intermittently, and the raw cotton 10 stored therein is weighed by a measuring section 9 at a fixed amount per unit time.
The raw cotton is supplied to the raw cotton transfer section 2. The feeding of the raw cotton 0 to the homber feeder 1 may be done manually or automatically using a feed lattice.

The raw cotton transfer section 2 is surrounded by a chamber 12 and is composed of a conveying unit 1 which is operated continuously. The conveyor 11 continuously supplies the raw cotton 10 fed in a fixed amount from the measuring section 9 to the next spreading section 3 .

The opening section 3 includes a cylinder 13. which has a large number of needles implanted on its surface.
13' is housed in a chamber 14.

In this opening section 3, the raw cotton 1 supplied from the raw cotton transfer section 2 is
0 is opened by the combing action of the cylinders 13 and 13'. 15 is a suction duct, and this suction duct 1
5 surrounds the outer periphery of the cylinder 13' and is connected to the next blowing section 4, and the short fibers opened by the cylinder 13.13' are transferred to the blowing section 4 by the suction force of the blowing section 4. It is designed to guide you.

The air blower 4 has a blower 17 driven by a motor 16. The blower 17 sucks the short fibers opened in the opening section 3 through the suction duct 5 and blows them through the blowout duct 8.
Pressure feed to the side. The end of this blow-off duct 1B is branched into two blow-in ports 19.19, each of which is connected to a molded part 5.5.

(4) As shown in detail in FIG. 3, the molding section 5 has a pair of control plates 2o and 21 vertically spaced apart from each other, and at least one of them (the lower control plate 21 in the figure) is arranged vertically. I'm trying to make it move. A bag-shaped side fabric 22 is set between the pair of control plates 20 and 21, an air outlet 19 is inserted into one end of the bag-shaped side fabric 22, and the bag-shaped side fabric 22 is fixed by a pinch roller 23. . In this forming section 5, while at least one of the control plates (21 in the figure) is vibrated in the vertical direction, the short fibers 24 are blown into the bag-like side material 22 along with compressed air from the blowing port 19, and are formed into a fiber filling. .

According to the above-described fiber filling manufacturing apparatus, when lO raw cotton is fed into the homber feeder 1, the raw cotton 10 is automatically weighed in fixed amounts and fed to the raw cotton transfer section 2, and then opened by the opening section 3. The fibers are then fed to the forming section 5 together with compressed air by the air blowing section 4, and are formed into a fiber filling filled in the bag-like side fabric 22. By carrying out these steps automatically and continuously, the fiber filling (5) is produced from the raw cotton all at once. Therefore, compared to the production of conventional fiber fillings, manual labor is significantly reduced, improving productivity. Furthermore, since each process is connected continuously, the installation space of the apparatus can be significantly reduced. Also,
This series of continuous processes eliminates the need to take out intermediate products such as fiber sheets during the process from raw cotton to fiber filling, which worsens the working environment due to the occurrence of cotton lumps. can be prevented.

Note that, as the opening machine 13, any known device such as a card machine, a cylinder opening machine, an opener, etc. used for spinning or manufacturing nonwoven fabrics can be used. Further, the air blower 4 preferably has a capacity of a compressed air flow rate of 10 to 100 Irr/min and a compressed air pressure of 10 to 10008 q/-.

Further, the filling production capacity of the apparatus of the present invention is preferably about 10 to 10,000 g per minute.

(6) As mentioned above, the fiber filling manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention includes:
a hopper feeder that serves as a raw cotton storage section and a measuring section; a raw cotton transfer section that transfers a certain amount of raw cotton supplied from this hopper feeder; and a fiber opening section that opens the raw cotton supplied from this raw cotton transfer section; an air blowing unit that sucks the short fibers opened from the raw cotton by the opening unit and sends them under pressure with pressurized air;
Since the short fibers fed under pressure from this air blowing section are connected to the forming section that forms the fiber stuffing, it is possible to form the raw cotton into the fiber stuffing all at once, improving productivity and reducing the work space. , and the working environment can also be improved.
