Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a method for taking out laundry and an apparatus therefor.

In particular, a method and apparatus for automatically removing clothes from a cleaning drum after washing is desired.

In particular, the clothes of workers working at nuclear facilities, etc. may be contaminated with radioactive materials, so when washing laundry, collect, transport, and feed it to the cleaning drum so that it does not come into contact with people's hands. , and take-out etc. are automated.

On the other hand, when taking out laundry from a cleaning drum in a series of tasks in general laundry, conventionally the washing machine with a built-in drum could be tilted, and when taking out laundry, the opening of the drum was moved diagonally downward. A method was used in which the laundry was dropped into a container, etc., while rotating the drum at low speed.

However, in the case of this method, a washing machine that can be tilted must be used, and the main body of such a washing machine with a power unit must be tilted, which only increases the size of the equipment. However, there was a drawback in that washing machines associated with nuclear facilities could not be used for such purposes due to strict safety certification for earthquake-resistant structures.

The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional methods, and provides a method and a device for taking out a washing machine that can be used as a washing machine, does not require large-scale equipment, and is easy to operate. With the goal.

That is, in the method for taking out laundry according to the present invention, a receiving member is inserted almost horizontally into a rotatable drum through an opening provided in the side wall of the drum, and the laundry is removed from the drum while the washed laundry is stored therein. By continuing the rotation, the laundry is scooped into the receiving member, and the laundry is taken out from the drum by the receiving member.

Further, the device of the present invention is a device for taking out laundry 3 stored in a rotatable drum, in which a receiving member is attached to a movable member movable toward the drum, with its tip end facing toward the drum. It is characterized by being mounted almost horizontally so as to face the opening provided in the side wall.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to illustrated embodiments.

1 to 3 show the laundry take-out device of the present invention, in which an engineering-type guide 3 is provided on both sides of the upper part of a cart 2 consisting of a framework that runs on a floor surface 1. The four-layers 5 provided on both sides of the tape/I/40 are fitted. An operating cylinder 8 is pivotally attached to a horizontal frame 6 spanned between rear vertical frames of the truck 2 via a bracket 7, and a rod 9 of this operating cylinder 8 is attached to the lower surface of the table 4 via a bracket 1.
0, and the table 4 is moved in the horizontal direction between the solid line position and the chain line position in FIG. 1 by forward and reverse operation of the operating cylinder 8.

A support 11 is erected on the chisol 4, and a pair of brackets 12 are fixed horizontally to the support 11, and between the tips of the brackets 12 is a receiving member 13 having a concave cross section with its open end facing upward. The rear end of the receiving member 13 is pivotally connected to the rod 15 of the actuating cylinder 14 erected on the table 4 via a bracket 16. The receiving member 13 is the actuating cylinder 14 (7) rod 1
When the rod 5 is in the retracted position, it is almost horizontal as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, and when the rod 15 is in the extended position, it is tilted forward as shown by the chain line. Reference numeral 17 indicates a support member for the support column 11.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a cleaning drum of the washing machine 21. The drum 18 is provided with a horizontal rotating shaft 19 on one side wall and an opening 20 for loading and unloading laundry on the other side wall. Furthermore, vanes 22 for stirring the laundry are provided on the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the drum 180. 23 is a laundry receiving box.

Next, a method of using the above-mentioned intermediary device will be explained.

Even after washing and dehydrating the laundry stored in the drum 18, the drum 18 continues to rotate at an appropriate speed such that the laundry falls onto the receiving member 13. In this state, the cart 2 is advanced toward the drum 18, and the actuating cylinder 8 is actuated to move the table 4 toward the drum 18.
The table 4 is moved forward toward the table 4, and the table 4 is lifted up along the inner circumferential wall of the drum 1B by the centripetal force, but falls from near the upper part of the drum 18 and is scooped up by the receiving member 13. When a suitable amount of laundry has accumulated in the receiving member 13, the operating cylinder 8 is reversely operated to move the table 4 backward until the tip 2 of the receiving member 13 reaches above the receiving box 23. Next, the operating cylinder 14 is operated to tilt the receiving member 13 forward, and this tilting causes the laundry to fall into the receiving box 23. Then, the actuating cylinder 14 is reversely operated and the receiving member 13 is
The drum 18 is returned to a horizontal position, and the above-mentioned operations are then repeated to take out the laundry from the drum 18.

Note that the shape of the receiving member 13 is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and can be made into various shapes.

4 to 6 show another embodiment, in which the receiving member is constructed of a belt conveyor 13a.

A pair of machine frames 25 are fixed horizontally to supports 24 erected on the table 4, and a plurality of glues 26
are pivotally supported, and an endless belt 27 is wound around these rollers 26.

A sprocket 28 is attached to the shaft of the roller 26 near the table 4.
is fixed, and this sprocket 28 is connected via a chain 31 to a sprocket 30 of a motor 29 installed on the table 4. 32 is an inclined guide plate fixed to the machine frame 25.

In the apparatus of this embodiment, the belt 27 is moved in the direction of the arrow in FIG. It is conveyed by a belt 27.

The laundry transported in this way is conveyed to the belt conveyor 13.
It falls into the receiving box 23 at the end of a. Therefore, according to the apparatus of this embodiment, once the belt conveyor 13 is inserted into the drum 18, the laundry is continuously taken out.

Note that the inclined guide plate 32 may be replaced with a belt conveyor.

This invention is as described above, and the receiving member is inserted into the drum almost horizontally, and the laundry is scooped into the receiving member by continuing to rotate the drum at an appropriate speed while storing the washed laundry. The receiver, this receiver member? Since the laundry is taken out by pulling it out from the drum, a regular washing machine that does not tilt or tilt can be used, so the equipment does not need to be large-scale, and it is suitable as a method for taking out laundry at nuclear facilities. Since the laundry that has been raised by the rotation of the drum is scooped up as it falls, the laundry can be taken out with a simple operation, and the device has a 14-inch structure.
It has the effect of being able to be manufactured at low cost because of its 3-layer structure, and the present invention can also be applied to general laundry other than laundry at nuclear facilities.
