Subsequently, the swing block 51 is rotated by 180 degrees to rearrange the positions of the head 1a and the tail portion 1d to uniformly align the head 1a of the toothbrush head 1. In this process, the release preventing bar 52 supports the toothbrush handle 1 from above, and the toothbrush handle 1 rotates without departing from the swing block 51.

The head position alignment unit 50 does not operate and remains in a stopped state when it is recognized as normal supply of the toothbrush handle 1 in the previous step.

6. Bristle-type mother-face alignment of toothbrush.

The toothbrush holder 1 is moved by the toothbrush holder alignment rail 60 while being pushed by the toothbrush holder 32 so that the toothbrush holder 1 passes through the rotation guide jaw 61 of the toothbrush alignment rail 60, , The toothbrush table 1 with the bristle-type mother surface 1e tilted without facing the bottom is inserted into the groove of the rotation guide jaw 61 and then pushed forcibly by the toothbrush holder 32 to guide the rotation guide jaw 61 And is rotated so that the bristle-type mother face 1e faces the bottom. At this time, some of the toothbrush handles 1 may be inverted such that the bristle-type mother surface 1e faces upward, and in the present invention, the bristle-type mother surface 1e may be inverted toward the bottom and inverted upwardly .

7. Bristle-type hair removal detection.

The bristles 1 are moved on the rails 73 and then pass through the air injection holes 72. At this time, when the bristles forming grooves 1f are opened toward the bottom air injection holes 72, The air is blown onto the flat surface of the head 1a of the toothbrush head 1 when the head 1a is raised and the bristles forming grooves 1f are opened upward, The head 1a is not raised and the height is not changed.

8. Head alignment.

The head alignment process aligns the toothbrush head 1 in the direction in which the bristles are put on the toothbrush body 1, and the toothbrush head 1 is supplied to the bristle polishing apparatus so that the bristle removing groove 1f is opened upward.

Therefore, the toothbrush handle 1, which is supplied through the previous process so that the bristle removing grooves 1f are opened toward the bottom, is turned upside down through the head over turn portion 80.

Specifically, when the toothbrush pedestal 1 with the bristle removing groove 1f facing the bottom is detected, the turn block 82 advances toward the head 1a of the toothbrush body 1 through the forward / backward block 83, ) Clamp the head 1a. Then, the turn block 82 rotates so that the bristle removing groove 1f faces upward.

On the other hand, since the toothbrush head 1 is supplied with the bristle removing groove 1f opened upward, alignment of the head 1a is unnecessary, so that the head over-turn portion 80 does not operate. However, unclamping of the toothbrush handle 1 may occur due to the swing of the toothbrush handle 1 when the transferring clamp 94 of the transferring portion 90 is clamped, so that the turn block 82 moves forward to move the clamp 81 It is also possible to clamp the head 1a of the toothbrush body 1 through the above- At this time, the turn block 82 does not rotate, and when the toothbrush table 1 is clamped by the transfer clamp 94, it is retracted and separated from the toothbrush table 1.

9. Transfer of toothbrush.

The toothbrush holder 1 clamped by the clamp 81 is transferred to the bristle removing apparatus through the transferring unit 90. The transferring clamp 94 is lowered to the toothbrush body 1 in the opened state, And at the same time, the turn block 82 is retracted by the forward and backward block 83 and separated from the toothbrush 1.

The feed clamp 94 is lifted while clamping the toothbrush handle 1 and then moves along the feed rail 91 through the carrier 92 and descends through the guide of the inclined guide 97 to move the toothbrush handle 1 And feeds the bristles to the bristle forming apparatus.

After the supply of the toothbrush handle 1 is completed, the transfer clamp 94 returns to the initial position.
