Description

[Detailed description of the invention] TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a garment finishing device by means of steam hot air.

Conventionally, a human body frame is erected on a rotating turntable,
Clothes were placed on this human body frame and sent into a steam hot air finishing chamber by the rotation of a turntable, where steam and hot air were sequentially ejected to finish the clothes.

However, in order to rotate and feed the human body frame with clothes on without colliding with or interfering with the inner hood wall, the steam hot air finishing chamber needs to have a sufficiently large volume. Therefore, in the past, there was a problem in that a large amount of steam and hot air was required and a large amount of heat energy was used. In addition, the time required to humidify and dry a single piece of clothing is correspondingly longer, which impedes improvement in the degree of curl when finishing the clothes one after another by rotating the turntable. The present invention solves these conventional problems,
The purpose is to achieve energy savings and improve work efficiency. Therefore, the feature of the present invention is to cover the rear part of the turntable where the heater, fan, valves, etc. are housed, and the human body frame is placed on the upper surface at the opposite position with a center angle of 180 degrees. A frame main body is formed from an intermediate part with an entrance/exit part and a stage-shaped front part projecting forward from the intermediate part and supporting the front half of the turntable, and further, a rear hood is provided in the intermediate part of the frame main body. A steam hot air finishing room is formed by a wall, left and right side hood walls, and a front hood wall, and the hood wall and a door that is swingable around a vertical shaft provided in the entrance/exit section. The volume of the steam hot air finishing chamber is reduced during steam hot air finishing by moving the rear hood wall and the left and right side hood walls integrally forward and backward by a drive device included in the rear part. 4. At a point configured to be in the state. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on illustrated embodiments. In FIGS. 1 to 6, 1 is a disc-shaped turntable, which is attached to a frame body 3 so as to be rotatable around the center of the bag on a vertical support shaft 2. Two turntables are mounted on the upper surface of the turntable. Human body frames 4, 4 are erected.

The human body frames 4, 4 are erected at opposite positions with a center angle of 180 degrees, and hold various clothes 5 in a suspended manner as shown in FIG. The frame body 3 has a front part 6 corresponding to the clothing attachment/detachment position A, and an intermediate part 7 corresponding to the steam hot air finishing device B.
and a rear part 8 that houses the heater, fan, valves, etc.

The rear part 8 has a rectangular parallelepiped box shape. The intermediate part 7 is a rectangular parallelepiped box-shaped box having entrances and exits 9 on the left and right sides of the front surface, leaving the central part of the front surface, and covers the rear half of the turntable 1. front part 6
supports the front half of the turntable 1, and is provided in the form of a stage to protrude forward from the middle part 7, and above the turntable 1 is a space in which only the human body frame 4 exists, so that clothing 5 can be easily removed. It will be done. Thus, the outer cylinder 10 is fixed to the support 2 coaxially, is erected in the center of the turntable 1, and is rotatably supported on the frame body 3 by bearings 11, 11.

Further, a gear 12 is fixed to the lower end of the support rod 2, and a rod-like rack 13 that meshes with the gear is reciprocated by an actuator 14 such as a air cylinder to rotate the gear 12, so that the turntable 1 can be moved left and right alternately. It is configured to rotate 180 degrees, and the human body frame 4 can be alternately exchanged between the two positions shown in FIGS. 1 and 5. Doors 16, 16 are attached to the entrances 9, 9 so as to be able to swing freely around the vertical support shafts 15, 15, and inside the intermediate section 7, a rear hood wall 17 and left and right side hood walls are provided. The hood walls 17, 18, 19 forming the rear surface and left and right side surfaces have a shallow dish shape when viewed from above, and are integrally formed as shown by arrows C and D. The rotors 21, 22, . . . are mounted on rails 23,

The entrance between the hood walls 17, 18, 19 in the forward state and the front hood wall 20 is closed by swinging the doors 16, 16 in the direction of arrow E, and is closed by swinging the doors 16, 16 in the direction of arrow E. A steam hot air finishing chamber 25 is formed. Reference numeral 26 denotes a drive device such as an air cylinder, which moves the hood walls 17, 18, and 19 forward and backward.

Further, a swing arm 27 is fixed to the upper end of the vertical support shaft 15 of the door 16, and its tip is connected to the upper surface of the hood wall 17 by a link 28.
The doors 16, 16 are connected to each other at the hood walls 17, 1819, and the doors 16, 16 are linked to swing in the closing direction and the opening direction in response to the advance and retreat of the hood walls 17, 1819, respectively. In FIG. 1, when the turntable 1 is rotated to change the human body frames 4, 4, the hood walls 17, 18, 19 are retracted to the solid line position and the doors 16, 16 are open. The human body frames 4, 4 wearing the can be smoothly replaced. At this time, the volume of the steam hot air finishing chamber 25 is at its maximum expansion state, and then the drive device 26 moves the hood walls 17, 18, 19 forward in the direction of arrow C, and the door 1
6 when closed is the imaginary line in Figure 1 and the volume in Figure 5.
The reduced state is shown by the symbol V in the figure. If the steam hot air finishing chamber is surrounded by a fixed hood wall, the hexagons a, b, c, d, e, It requires a large hall indicated by f.

Therefore, the volume of the steam hot air finishing chamber 25 in the reduced state according to the present invention can be reduced in the shaded area in the figure. Therefore, in Figure 4 and Figures 1 and 2, 29 and 30 are Juan, and 31
