Heat setting device 11 The heat setting device 11 is located at the end of the filter cloth folding table 5, and has a heater 92 rotatably attached to a shaft 93. By pulling the rod 94 of the air cylinder, the filter cloth folding table 5 can be folded. The pressure between the folding table 6 and the heater 92 is released.

Retrieval device 12 The retrieval device 12 is a piston rod 95 of an air cylinder (not shown) provided with a spatula-shaped drawing plate 96.
The sword rag 1a that has been heat-set on the sword rag folding table 5 is drawn to a chute 97 and dropped.

Below, remaining white Next, the process of folding a sword rag using the apparatus of the present invention will be explained.

In the example shown in Figure 2, the left and right swords are 2 lines, A line and B line.
Although it is possible to fold with two lines, it is of course possible to use a device that uses only one line, and an example of folding a sword rag with the A line will be described below.

The sword rag 2a is placed on the sword rag mounting table 3a with its position defined by the protruding portion 18. At this time, sword rag 2a
Place a padding paper of the same shape as the sword rag 2a under it.

Next, when the guide bar 17 is moved to the right in FIG. 2 by operating an appropriate means such as a fluid cylinder (not shown), the sliding member 16a moves downward in FIG. The mounting table 3a is positioned at the position indicated by the chain line in FIG. 2 and FIG. This is detected by electrical contacts and other sensors (not shown),
The fluid cylinder 25 of the sword rag carrying device 4 is activated, the rod 26 is protruded, and the carrying plate 21 is lowered to lower the sword rag mounting table 3.
Touch the lower surface of the support plate 21 to the sword rag on top a, and
2, the sword rag 32a and the patch paper are suctioned to the lower surface of the carrier plate 21 by suction from a suction groove (not shown) on the lower surface of the carrier plate 21 following the suction tube 32. The fluid cylinder 25 moves the rod 26 away, raises the support plate 21, moves the support plate 21 to the right in FIG. Similarly, the support plate 21 is lowered to stop the suction of the suction tube 32, and the rag 2a held on the lower surface thereof is placed in the groove 35 on the upper surface of the rag folding table 5. The rag carrying device 4 operates in the opposite manner to the above and returns to its original position.

Next, the brim-shaped folding die 6 is lowered by the operation of the fluid cylinder 45, and the die main body 38 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the rag 2a. At this time, the sword rag folding table 5 is heated by the heater. At this point, the tip folding device 9 is activated. That is, the third
As shown in the figure, the fluid cylinder 61 is actuated to rotate the base plate 63 in a counterclockwise direction and to rotate the first and second tip folding plates 64.6.
5 is opposed to the flange-shaped body 40 at the tip of the mold body 38 of the flange-shaped folding mold 6. At this time, the first and second folding plates 64°6
A thin plate 73 provided below 6 enters below the sword rag 2a. Then, when the first tip folding plate 64 is projected by the fluid cylinder 66, the tip portion of the dissecting rag 2a is folded back by the first tip folding plate at the edge of the tip brim 40. When the second sword-tip folding plate 65 is protruded by the zero-order fluid cylinder 67 which is folded back at the position of the a-a line shown in FIG. It is folded back at the position of line bb shown in FIG. 8A by the folding plate. Next, the fluid cylinder 62 & the side folding plate 5o of the side edge folding device 8 are advanced toward the mold main body 38, and the sword rag 2a is placed on the side folding plate 5o at the edge of the side brim 39 in the same way as before. It is folded back by 50. In FIG. 8, this is the position of line C--C.

When the above-mentioned folding is completed, the side line folding device 8 causes the piston rod 59 of the fluid cylinder 58 to protrude, and the L-shaped board 5
1, turn the L-shaped board 51 in the clockwise direction in FIG.
Similarly, the tip folding device 9 operates the fluid cylinder 72 and presses the press plate 70. From this, the tips of the fluid cylinders 66 and 67 are lifted upward, and After turning the tip folding plate 64 and 65 in a direction that lifts it from the sword rag, fold it on the side @60 in the opposite way to the above.
The first and second tip folding plates 64 and 66 are moved back, and the board 63 of the tip folding device is returned to its original position (the position shown in FIG. 1) by 1 m. Then, the brim-shaped folding mold 6 is formed by moving the hanging arm 42 to the right in FIG. The rag 2a moves to the right end of the cloth folding table 5, and as a result of the intake of air from the intake hole 13 of the cloth folding table 5 and the return of the brim-like folding mold 6 to its original position, the θ11 rag 2a becomes the cloth folding table 5.
left on top.

Next, the two-folding device 10, which had been retracted into the side of the rag folding table 5, advances to the upper part of the rag folding table 5 by the operation of the fluid cylinder 76, and the two-folding device 10, which has been retracted into the side of the rag folding table 5, advances to the upper part of the rag folding table 5, Similarly, by rotating the board 75, the board 75 and -
Fold the rag cloth folding table 5 at the tip edge of the cloth press plate 80 of f4<
- Press the center of the 011 rag 1a in the width direction. This position is on line dd in FIG. 8A. Then the fluid cylinder 77
．． When the rod 84 is pulled by the operation of 78, the lower end of the inner scraping plate 86 scrapes the side edge of @11 rag 1'a and bends it in the direction of the cloth presser plate 80. Fluid cylinder 90 is actuated and wire 91
2. Advance the folded rag 1a in half to prevent the folded rag 1a from bouncing back and opening the fold. Wire 91 like this
After pressing @11 rag 1a, the rods of the fluid cylinders 77, 78 of the bifolding device 10 are protruded again, and the inner and outer scraping plates 85, 86 are removed from the rag 1a.
5 to rotate the cloth pressing plate 8o and the inner and outer scraping plates 85.
After raising the rod 86, the rod 84 is pulled in and at the same time the fluid cylinder 76 is actuated to fill the substrate 5 and move out of the cloth folding table 5.

Next, a fluid cylinder (not shown) of the heat setting device 11 is activated, and the heater 92 is rotated through the rod 94 to apply heat to the rag cloth 1a on the rag folding table 5. Since it enters a narrow groove provided in a part of the heating surface, there is no particular influence, and the fluid cylinder 90 is activated during heat setting to pull the wire 91 out of the surface of the rag 1a.

When the heat setting is completed, pull the rod 94 and turn the heater 92 clockwise in FIG. Scrape it into chute 97.

〔effect〕

As described in detail above, the apparatus of the present invention can complete the folding and heat-setting process of shard rags completely automatically without requiring any human intervention, thereby greatly increasing work efficiency. Became.
