Description

[Detailed description of the invention] In order to remove wrinkles from clothes, this invention suspends the clothes on a chain conveyor that continuously drives the clothes through a steam room filled with steam and a drying finishing room, and then automatically removes the wrinkles from the clothes. This invention relates to a wrinkle removal processing device that can remove wrinkles, and in particular, to an improved structure of a wrinkle removal processing device that prevents clothes from being soiled by condensed water mixed with steam and scattered when clothes pass through a steam chamber. be.

In this type of wrinkle removal processing equipment, the clothes are first passed through a steam chamber filled with steam, the moisture is used to smooth out the wrinkles on the clothes, and then the drying process is carried out in an adjacent room in order to continuously dry the damp clothes. The machine is automatically carried into the finishing room, but if the machine is stopped mid-way, or restarted after a long pause, a large amount of condensed water will splash into the steam room, leaving stains on clothes and causing damage to the clothes. was often contaminated.

That is, when the apparatus is stopped, steam condensed water accumulates inside the steam ejection pipe, and when the apparatus is started, it may be ejected together with the steam, staining clothes.

The present invention has been developed in view of these points, and an embodiment thereof will be explained below with reference to the drawings. 4 is a wrinkle removal processing device main body which has a box-like appearance, and has a steam chamber 2 with the interior divided into chambers. A drying finishing chamber 3 is formed adjacent to the steam chamber.

Both of these chambers communicate in the form of a tunnel, with an inlet (not shown) connected to the steam chamber 2 located at the front of the wrinkle removal processing apparatus 1, that is, the right side in FIG. An outlet section 4 is provided in each of the drying finishing chambers 3.

Further, each chamber is provided with an air bank roll 5 (see FIG. 4) at the inlet and outlet portions 4 and at the boundary between the two chambers 2 and 3 to form independent chambers.

The air bag roll has a pair of roll shafts 8 which hang down between the top plate 6 and the bottom plate 7 of the main body 1 and are rotationally driven.
8, a ring wheel 10, which coaxially surrounds a cylindrical fabric bag 9 and is fastened to the upper and lower ends of the bag, is fixed to the roll shaft 8, and an opening portion of the ring wheel is provided at the upper end. Hot air is blown in to inflate the bags 9, 9 so that the bags 9, 9 come into contact with 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 a drive motor which will be described later.

That is, each of the roll shafts 8 is formed to protrude upwardly from the top cover 11 of the main body 1, and is connected to the belt wheel 12°1.
2.12, and when one of the pair of roll mandrels 8 rotates, the other roll mandrel 8 follows and rotates by means of an interlocking gear 13.13 mounted below the belt wheel.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a chain conveyor that is inserted into the upper center of the steam chamber 2 and the drying L chamber 3 and stretched in an annular manner along the outer wall 15 of the main body 1; The motor is driven in the direction of the arrow in FIG.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a drive motor attached to the rear part of the main body 1, that is, the upper left side in FIG. 1, and drives the chain conveyor 14 to rotate.

A drive wheel 18 that rotates following the drive of the chain conveyor 14 is provided at a position opposite to the mounting position of the drive motor 17, and the drive wheel rotationally drives the air bag rolls 5, 5.5. In order to do this, the belts 19 are respectively locked and the drive motor 17 is rotated so that they rotate at the same time.

In this configuration, when the hanger 22 for hanging the clothes 21 is suspended from the hooks 20, 20, 20, . It is transported to the finishing room 3.

High-temperature, high-pressure steam is ejected into the steam chamber 2 to fill the entire room with steam. The steam is ejected from a steam jet pipe 24 connected to the steam chamber 2, and the steam jet pipe is piped to the bottom of the steam chamber 2.

Reference numeral 25 denotes a filter mounted slightly above the steam ejection pipe 24 so as to partially cover the steam chamber, and the filter device is constructed by stacking a plurality of breathable members such as wire mesh or lath plates. Although the steam is allowed to flow sufficiently, the scattering of water, etc. is prevented in this area.

That is, even if hot water or condensed water spouts out from the steam jet pipe 24, only steam is sent into the steam chamber 2 due to the presence of the filter device 25, and the steam chamber 2 is suspended from the chain conveyor 14. The clothes 21 are exposed to steam and are not splashed with hot water or condensed water.

A part of the steam that can fill the steam chamber 2 is absorbed by the main body 1.
Exhaust pipe 2 opened by penetrating the top plate 6 and top cover 11 of
6 to the outside of the main body 1, and hot water or condensed water spouted from the steam jet pipe 24 is appropriately drained from a drain pipe 27 provided at the bottom of the steam chamber 2. There is.

28 is a partition wall surrounding the chain conveyor 14 located in the steam room 2, and includes a hot air introduction part 29 for introducing hot air introduced from the adjacent room 3 and filling the space between the top plate 6 and the top cover 11. The opening 30 is formed to hang down and is provided at the lower end through which the hanger 22 suspended from the chain conveyor 14 is inserted.

That is, since the steam chamber 2 is filled with steam, dew condensation occurs on the surface of the chain conveyor 14 due to the temperature difference, but due to the presence of the partition wall 28, the steam that can fill the chain conveyor 14 is reduced. The clothing 21 is always kept dry without coming into contact with the clothing 21, and water droplets are prevented from dripping onto the suspended clothing 21.

One of the drying and finishing chambers 3 is designed to blow dry hot air, and as shown in FIG. 3, a blowing fan 32 degrees The wind sent by 32 is forced to circulate in the direction of the arrow.

The circulating air then exchanges heat with the surface of the heat exchanger 33 through which steam flows, and becomes hot air.

That is, the clothes 21 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, the clothes 21 are exposed to strong winds due to the hot air blown from above. The fibers are fluttered with hot air, which softens them and dries them effectively.

The clothes 21 from which wrinkles have been removed and dried are carried out from the outlet section 4 of the main body 1.

As mentioned above, the present invention involves suspending wrinkled clothes using hangers from a chain conveyor connected to and driven by a steam room exposed to steam and a drying finishing room exposed to high-speed air flow. In the wrinkle removal treatment device, the wrinkles are removed by making the wrinkles pass through each of the chambers continuously, and a steam ejection pipe is disposed at the bottom of the steam chamber, and the steam ejected from the steam ejection pipe is distributed to a position above the skeleton. The steam chamber is covered with a filter device that allows for
To provide a device capable of excellent wrinkle removal without adhering to and staining clothes suspended in a steam chamber even when hot water or condensed water is spouted from a steam jet pipe.
