Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a shirt press machine that press-finishes shirts such as dress shirts after washing them.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Conventionally, the body stand of a shirt press machine has a structure in which a hollow steel cylinder is used as the stand core, and its surface is covered with a shrinkable padding material. The above-mentioned padding materials are usually made of cotton cloth or elastic synthetic resin, but since they have the property of absorbing moisture internally, if press work is performed continuously, washing water contained in the shirt may The moisture infiltrates into the pad material, and if the pressing operation continues for a long time, it accumulates and the pad material becomes moist. As a result, the time it takes to dry the shirt gradually increases, leading to problems such as a decrease in work efficiency.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a shirt press that solves the above-mentioned problems and can prevent the bodice from getting wet and perform a stable press finish.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has a structure in which a cavity is provided inside the torso over the entire area of the torso, and a hot air intake hole communicating with the cavity is formed in the torso.

That is, in the shirt press configured as described above, hot air blown into the cavity from the inlet causes moisture absorbed inside the torso to evaporate, thereby drying the torso from the inside. Furthermore, during press finishing, the hot air speeds up the drying of the shirt, thereby shortening the press time.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 4, the shirt press machine of this embodiment is
An example of the machine frame 1 includes a rotating shaft 3 driven by an air cylinder 2, and a pair of stepladders 5, 5' are attached to both upper ends of a movable frame 4 fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 3.

The moving frame 4 is driven by the air cylinder 2 180
° Rotate stepladder 5, 5' alternately to press position 15
move it to

Each of the stepladders 5.5', as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, consists of a plate-shaped tabletop main body 6 and air pads 7.8 attached to both sides and the top of the pad main body 6, and is movable. Frame 4
It is fixed on the air duct 9 attached to the upper part of the.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the table stand main body 6 includes a core plate 10 made of a hard material, a pad material 11 that covers the periphery of the core material 10, and a large number of pad materials interposed between the two. It is composed of a coil spring 12 that elastically holds the space between the two,
A cavity 1 through which hot air passes between the pad material 11 and the core plate 10
There are 3.

A hot air inlet 14 is provided in the lower part of the cavity 13 to communicate the inside of the cavity with the inside of the air tally 9.

The core plate 10 is made of a metal plate such as an iron plate, and has a structure in which the inside is heated with steam. On the other hand, the band material 11 is provided with a wire mesh or a metal porous plate on the inner side that contacts the coil spring 12, and covers the outer surface with a cloak made of a laminated layer of shrinkable synthetic resin or cotton cloth, and furthermore, the outer side is made of canvas fabric. The structure is covered with

Air pads 7 attached to both sides and the top of the stepladder 5.
8 communicate with each other, and a hot air ventilation lower a communicating with the inside of the air duct 9 is provided at the lower end of the air pads 7 on both sides.

At the top of the machine frame 1, there is a press position 1, as shown in FIG.
A pair of heating plates 16 are placed opposite the front and rear surfaces of the stepladder 5, and the reheating plates 16 are heated to the front and rear surfaces of the stepladder 5 by driving an opening/closing mechanism 17 provided on the machine frame 1. It is crimped.

In addition, air intake ports 18 are provided at the lower part of the air duct 9 and positioned below each stepladder 5 . A ring-like packing material 19 is attached to the mouth of the air intake port 18 to surround the mouth.

On the other hand, a vertical air cylinder 20 is provided at the bottom of the machine frame 1 so as to be located directly below the air intake port 18 of the stepladder 5 stopped at the press position 15, and a cylindrical air cylinder 20 is installed at the tip of the piston rod 20a. The air outlet 21 is fixed.

The air outlet 21 is raised by the operation of the air cylinder 20, and its upper end surface is pressed against the air outlet 18, and the packing material 1
The connection is airtight due to the action of S.

A flexible hose 22 is connected to the side of the air outlet 21, and the hose 22 is connected to the air blower 22 through an automatic on-off valve 23.
4, and its blower 24 and automatic on-off valve 23
A heater 25 that heats compressed air from the blower 24 and converts it into hot air is provided between the two.

This embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, and when the stepladder 5 with the shirt on it is placed in the press position 15, the air cylinder 2
0 is activated, the air outlet 21 rises and is connected to the air outlet 18. At this point, the automatic on-off valve 23 opens and the heater 25
The hot air that has passed through is blown into the air duct S.
' As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the hot air that has entered the air duct S blows into the air pads 7.8 to expand them, and then enters the cavity 13 in the body 5 from the inlet 14. , and flows out through the pad material 11 as shown by the arrow in FIG. By passing the hot air through, the moisture contained inside the pad material 11 is evaporated, and the pad material 11 is dried.

When the air pad 7 expands and the wrinkles on the surface of the shirt placed on the stepladder are smoothed out, the hot plate 16 is pressed onto the stepladder 5 to perform a press finish. During this press finishing, the hot air that has passed through the band material 11 continuously flows out through the gaps in the hot plate 16, which speeds up the drying of the shirt and prevents moisture from entering the pad material 11 from the shirt. Ru.

When the press finish is completed, the hot plate 16 opens, the air cylinder 20 retreats, the air outlet 21 separates from the air outlet 18, and then the moving frame 4 rotates 180 degrees to move the other frame 5 away from the air cylinder 20.
' is moved to the press position 15, and the same pressing process as above is repeated.

Note that the torso can be constructed by using a porous synthetic resin plate as a core plate and covering the outer surface with a pad material. That is, in this case, the pores inside the resin plate function in the same way as the cavity 13, and the hot air entering from the inlet passes through the holes in the resin plate to dry the resin plate and the pad material.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in this invention, a cavity is provided inside the torso for introducing hot air, and the hot air dries the torso from the inside, so that the torso can always be kept in a dry state. Can be done. Therefore, there is no delay in drying the shirts, and stable pressing operations can be performed for a long period of time.

Additionally, the hot air passing through the bodice during the pressing process speeds up the drying of the shirt, which has the effect of shortening the pressing time.
