Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is based on a chain that is driven across both the steam chamber filled with steam and the drying finishing chamber in order to continuously pass the clothes through the steam chamber filled with steam and the drying finishing chamber in order to remove wrinkles from the clothes. Regarding the wrinkle removal processing device, which automatically removes wrinkles by suspending clothes on a conveyor and passing through both chambers, the device was designed to isolate each chamber through which clothes pass from outside air and from adjacent rooms. This invention relates to an improved structure of an air bag roll.

This type of wrinkle removal processing device is constructed so that each chamber is almost sealed by providing an air bag roll at the entrance/exit of each chamber and at the boundary between the adjacent chambers, and the clothes passing through each chamber are First, when entering a steam chamber filled with steam, the clothing passes through air bag rolls provided at the entrance and driven to rotate, and when entering the steam chamber, the wrinkles in the clothes are smoothed out by the moisture that fills the chamber.

Next, the clothes are automatically transported to the drying and finishing room in the next room by passing between the air bag rolls installed at the boundary with the next room, and the damp clothes are force-dried in this room, and the finished clothes are sent to the exit of the finishing room. The wrinkle-removal process is completed by passing between the air bag rolls provided at the front and being carried out to the outside.

The air bag roll generally has two rotationally driven roll mandrels arranged side by side, each of which coaxially surrounds a cylindrical fabric bag, and the upper and lower ends of the bags are located at the upper and lower ends of the roll mandrel. The structure was such that it was tightened to the circumferential surface of a ring that was fixedly formed on the ring.

Then, by sending air into the bag, the bag is inflated, and the juxtaposed bags are connected to each other, so that the entrance/exit portion and the boundary portion are substantially sealed.

Of course, the swollen bags have elasticity, and when the clothes pass between the bags that are rotated in a joined state, they are dented by the thickness of the clothes, allowing the clothes to pass through.

However, when the thickness of winter clothing is large, the amount of dent in the bag becomes large, and tension is applied to the bag, causing the fastening parts at the top and bottom ends of the bag to come out of the ring phase and prevent the original use of the air bag roll. There was something I couldn't do.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above points, and an embodiment thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a main body of the wrinkle removal processing apparatus, which has a box-like appearance, and has an interior divided into two chambers, a steam chamber 2; A drying finishing chamber 3 is formed adjacent to the steam chamber.

Both of these chambers communicate in a tunnel-like manner, with an inlet (not shown) located at the front of the wrinkle removal processing apparatus main body 1, that is, the right side in FIG. An outlet section 4 is provided in each of the drying finishing chambers 3.

Furthermore, in order to make each of the chambers independent, the inlet and outlet portions 4 and the boundary between the two chambers 2 and 3 are provided with air.
Bankroll 5,5.5 is provided.

(See FIGS. 4 and 6) The air bag roll is formed into a cylindrical shape and is suspended between the top plate 6 and the bottom plate 7 of the main body 1, and is attached to a pair of roll shafts 8 and 8 that are rotationally driven. It coaxially surrounds cloth bags 9, 9, and the upper and lower open ends 1 of the bags
0.10 is formed by tightening the upper ring ports provided at the upper and lower parts of the roll shaft 8, the eel 11, and the stepped portion 13 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the lower ring wheel 12, and the upper ring wheel 11 is attached to the roll shaft 8. Holt B integrated with mandrel 8
and the lower ring wheel 12 is slidable up and down with respect to the roll shaft 8.

That is, the inner circumferential surface of the lower ring wheel 12 is provided with a vertical groove 15 of the shape JtL so as to be able to slide along the pin 14 implanted in the roll shaft 8.

Then, air is fed into the paired bags 9°9 to inflate them, and the bags 9, 9 are joined to each other, thereby closing the inlet portion, outlet portion 4, and boundary portion.

The air bag rolls 5, 5.5 are rotated in the same direction by drive motors, which will be described later.

Each of the upper ends of the roll shaft 8 is connected to the top cover 1 of the main body 1.
Belt wheel 17.17 is formed to protrude upward from 6.
．． 17, and when one roll shaft 8 of the pair rotates, the other roll shaft 8 follows and rotates by an interlocking gear 18, 18 mounted below the belt wheel.

A chain conveyor 19 is inserted into the upper center of the steam chamber 2 and the drying finishing chamber 3 and stretched in a ring along the outer wall 20 of the main body 1. The conveyor conveys steam along the rail 21. It is driven so as to move from the chamber 2 to the drying finishing chamber 3 side.

Reference numeral 22 denotes a drive motor attached to the rear part of the main body 1, that is, the upper left side in FIG. 1, which rotates the chain conveyor 19.

A drive wheel 23 that rotates following the drive of the chain conveyor 19 is provided at a position opposite to the mounting position of the drive motor 22, and the drive wheel rotationally drives the air bag roll 5.5.5. To do this, the belts 24 are respectively locked and the drive motor 22 is rotated so that the belts 24 rotate simultaneously.

In such a configuration, the chain conveyor 19 has hook pieces 25.25. When the hanger 27 for hanging the clothes 26 is hung from the hanger 25..., the hanger, that is, the clothes are sequentially transferred to the air bag roll 5 → i air chamber 2 → air bag roll 5 → drying finishing chamber 3 → air bag roll 5 It is something that is transported to the destination.

High-temperature, high-pressure steam is ejected into the steam chamber 2 to fill the entire room with steam, and the steam passes through a steam supply pipe 28 that can penetrate the outer wall 20 of the main body 1. The steam is ejected from a steam ejection pipe 29 connected to the tip, and the steam ejection pipe is piped to the bottom of the steam chamber 2.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a filter device that partially covers the steam chamber at a position slightly above the steam jet pipe 29, and the filter device is constructed by stacking a plurality of breathable members such as wire mesh or lath plates. This section allows sufficient steam to flow through, but prevents water from scattering.

That is, even if hot water or condensed water were to spout from the steam jet pipe 29, only steam would be sent to the steam chamber 2 due to the presence of the filter device 30, and the steam chamber 2, suspended from the chain conveyor 19, would The clothes 26 are exposed to steam and are not splashed with hot water or condensed water.

A part of the steam filling the steam chamber 2 is sequentially released to the outside of the main body 1 from an exhaust pipe 31 that penetrates the top plate 6 and the top cover 16 of the main body 1, and The hot water or condensed water spouted from the steam jet pipe 29 is appropriately drained from a drain pipe 32 provided at the bottom of the steam chamber 2.

33 is a partition wall surrounding the chain conveyor 19 located in the steam room 2, and includes a hot air introduction part 34 to introduce hot air introduced from the adjacent room 3 and filled between the top plate 6 and the top cover 16. It has a hanging shape and has an opening 35 at the lower end through which the hanger 27 suspended from the chain conveyor 19 can be inserted.

That is, since the steam chamber 2 is filled with steam, dew condensation occurs on the surface of the chain conveyor 19 due to the temperature difference, but due to the presence of the partition wall 33, the steam that can fill the chain conveyor 19 is reduced. The clothing 26 is always kept dry without coming into contact with the clothing 26, and water droplets are prevented from dripping onto the suspended clothing 26.

One of the drying finishing chambers 3 is designed to blow dry hot air, and as shown in FIG. This forcefully circulates the air blown in the direction of the arrow.

The circulating air then exchanges heat with the surface of the heat exchanger 38 through which the steam flows and becomes hot air.

That is, the clothes 26 carried into the drying and finishing room 3 are in a moist state in the adjacent steam room 2, but at the same time as they are carried into the drying and finishing room 3, hot air blows from above and the clothes 26 are exposed to strong hot air. This flutters the fibers, which softens them and dries them effectively.

The wrinkle-removed and dried clothes 26 are then carried out from the outlet section 4 of the main body 1.

As mentioned above, the present invention involves suspending wrinkled clothing from a chain conveyor that is connected to a steam room filled with steam and a drying finishing room that is exposed to high-speed airflow. In a wrinkle removal processing device that continuously passes through each chamber and removes the wrinkles, a pair of roll mandrels are vertically disposed at the entrance and exit portions and boundary portions of each chamber to make each chamber nearly airtight. At the same time, the roll mandrel is equipped with an air back roll that surrounds a cylindrical cloth bag coaxially, and the cloth bag has its lower end slidable up and down with respect to the roll mandrel. It is possible to provide a device of good quality that allows each chamber to be maintained in a nearly closed room condition at all times without the air bag roll falling out like in the past even if thick clothing is inserted. .
