Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a scalp material feeding device for a hair transplanting machine used for manufacturing wigs.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-37213, for example, a flocking machine has been used in which long pile threads are inserted into a base material using a needle to be flocked. However, in the case of hair transplantation for men's wigs, workers manually attach thin, finite length hair, such as hair cut from the human body and trimmed, to the scalp material one by one using a crochet hook, and the knots and the spacing between the hairs are also manually arranged. Judgments are made based on personal observation, experience, and sense. This requires skill, a large amount of labor and long working hours, and it is difficult to transplant the hairs at the required spacing and density, resulting in irregularities or forgetting to transplant some hairs. Ta. Therefore, the applicant of the present invention has proposed a flocking machine that connects a finite length of flocking material to the scalp material one by one using a needle that penetrates the scalp material in the thickness direction at a predetermined position.
The aim is to achieve highly productive hair transplantation with less labor and no skill required.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

-a, the scalp material for the wig is formed of a thin and flexible material into a substantially spherical arc shape to match the shape of the user's head. In addition, the density and spacing of hair transplants had to be varied depending on the scalp material. Therefore, in the above-mentioned hair transplant machine proposed by the applicant, since the needle penetrates the scalp material at a predetermined position, it is necessary to hold the scalp material while moving. If the member is moved manually by an operator, there is a problem in that it is difficult to transplant hair onto the scalp material at the required spacing and density, as in the case of conventional manual hair transplantation. This invention solves the above-mentioned problems and can automatically hold the scalp material and move it by the required amount in the required direction, allowing the hair to be transplanted at the required spacing and density without the labor of the operator. To provide a scalp material feeding device for a hair transplanter which can be efficiently carried out in a short period of time while reducing the amount of noise.

[Means to solve the problem]

This invention is a scalp material feeding device for a hair transplant machine as proposed by the applicant, in which a cylindrical mount to which a scalp material holder is removably fixed is mounted on a horizontal plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the mount. It is supported on a support shaft, and this support shaft is rotatably supported on the machine base side, and a servo motor is fixed to the machine base side for rotating the support shaft together with the mounting base.

[For use]

The scalp material feeding device of the hair transplanting machine according to the present invention removably fixes the scalp material to a mounting base via a holder, and uses a needle that penetrates the scalp material at a predetermined position to feed a finite length of the flocked material to the scalp material. After tying them together and completing the flocking process for the appropriate number of flocking materials, the servo motor is driven to rotate the horizontal support shaft minute by little, so that the scalp material along with the mounting base can be moved to the left and right, perpendicular to these axial directions. The support shaft, the mounting base, and the scalp material are stopped by rotating the servo motor in the vertical direction, etc. After the rotation, the support shaft, the mounting base, and the scalp material are stopped, and the next hair transplanting process is performed in this state, and the above-mentioned operation is repeated. , hair can be implanted at intervals (pitch) in a direction perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the scalp material in accordance with the amount of slight rotation of the scalp material. In addition, by storing a program for the amount of rotation of the servo motor and setting the amount of rotation and operation timing of the servo motor using signals from the control circuit based on this memory, changing rows of flocked hair can be done automatically at the required row spacing. This can be done in a specific manner. Therefore, in the present invention, even if the scalp material is formed in a substantially spherical arc shape such as a semi-spherical shape, the scalp material can be moved in the direction perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the scalp material at the required intervals and at the required intervals and density. Hair transplantation can be done automatically.

By rotating the scalp material 325 around its axis a small amount at each hair transplanting step, hair can be transplanted in one row at the desired hair transplanting pitch as shown in Fig. 44. By sequentially moving the material 325 in the vertical direction by a small amount, the rows of the flocked hair can be changed, and the flocked material 90 can be automatically planted one by one on the entire surface of the scalp material 325. Furthermore, if an automatic separation/take-out device which takes out the flocking material one by one and supplies it to the flocking material supplying device 80 is connected to the flocking machine of this embodiment, and this taking-out device and the flocking machine are operated synchronously, the flocking operation can be carried out unattended. can be converted into In addition, in this embodiment, the holder 32 of the scalp material 325
4 is desirably fixed to a holding base 321 that constitutes a part of the mounting base 318 so that its position can be adjusted in the axial direction and that it can be attached or removed. In the present invention, the support shaft is not limited to the post stand, but may be rotatably supported on an appropriate fixing member provided on the machine stand. Also, the mounting base does not have to be rotatable around its axis, but as in the above embodiment, the mounting base is supported via a rotating rail base fixed to the support shaft, and the mounting base is attached to the rotating rail base. is rotatably supported around the axis of this mounting base, and the mounting base is rotated minutely by a separate servo motor installed on a rotating rail base for each hair transplanting process to create the required spacing in the circumferential direction of the scalp material. It is preferable that the hair be transplanted in one row, and that the row of the hair be changed by a slight rotation of the scalp material in the left-right direction by rotation of the support shaft.

【Effect of the invention】

As explained above, according to the present invention, with the scalp material fixed to the mounting base via the holder, a finite length of hair transplant material is inserted using a needle that penetrates the scalp material at a predetermined position provided on the hair transplant machine. After completing the hair transplantation process for an appropriate number of hairs, such as one row, the horizontal support shaft is rotated by the drive of a servo motor, and the mounting base and the scalp material are rotated vertically little by little. By repeating the process of stopping the servo motor after rotation, stopping the mounting base and scalp material, and performing the next hair transplanting process,
It is possible to automatically rearrange the rows of flocked hair in a direction perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the scalp material, and in this case, the spacing and density of the rows of flocked hair can be adjusted to the required amount by the amount of rotation of the scalp material, that is, the amount of feed. This has the effect of providing a scalp material feeding device for a hair transplanting machine that does not require the operator's skill, requires less labor, and can efficiently perform hair transplantation in a short time.
