Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The invention proposes a device for managing hangers (15) carried on a continuous carrier (11) on a rail (10). The rail 10 is constructed by connecting a straight path, a semicircular path, an inclined path, a branch path, and the like in a complex manner. The carrier 11 is provided with a traveling wheel 12 via a tow bar 13 on the upper side and has a divided space for hanging a plurality of clothes hangers 15 downward. Adjacent carriers 11 are continuously transported by a traveling wheel 12 hingedly connected to one another so as to allow up-and-down and side-to-side flow and in contact with each other on the rail 10.

According to the present invention, the drive means (20) has a structure in which the drive plate (21) is engaged with the carrier (11) to apply a transfer force. The drive means 20 includes a drive plate 21, a sprocket 23, a chain 25 and a drive motor 26. The drive means 21 transmits the rotational force of the drive motor 26 to the drive plate 21, ). The drive plate 21 is formed like a gear and is installed concentrically on the semicircular path of the rail 10. The drawings of the present invention exemplify that the drive plate 21 has seven teeth.

The driving plate 21 according to the present invention is provided with a detection groove 21a formed at a predetermined interval in a radially inner circumferential surface and a tooth portion 21 ' (21) and the teeth (21 ') are integrally formed or separated and joined together. The drive plate 21 of the drive means 20 is provided with a detection groove 21a and a traction groove 21b radially spaced from each other at a predetermined interval and the detection groove 21a is formed on a certain circumference of the drive plate 21, So that it is possible to reduce the power consumption by reducing the weight of the drive plate 21 in addition to the detection function by the sensor described later. The pulling grooves 21b are provided on the teeth 21 'formed at the ends of the respective teeth to temporarily engage with the pulling rods 13 of the carrier 11. The driving plate 21 and the teeth 21 'are made of the same material and integrally formed. The tooth 21' is made of a special plastic material and is separated from the driving plate 21 And may be used as a method of separating and coupling with one end of the drive plate 21.

In other words, the drive plate 21 and the teeth 21 'as the same material may be used as one structure. The teeth 21' may be radially arranged at a certain interval on the outer side of the drive plate 21, It is also possible to apply a structure which combines the above- This is because the teeth 21 'of the tooth 21' are separated from each other and used in a coupling manner by the teeth of the teeth 21 'made of a metal material and the traction rod 13 of the carrier 11 temporarily and repeatedly engaged and rotated It is difficult to carry out a smooth transfer operation. Therefore, when replacing the tooth portion 21 'with respect to the outside of the drive plate 21, only the tooth portion 21', not the entire drive plate 21, And the new tooth portion 21 'is replaced and replaced. In addition to this, it is also possible to remarkably reduce the abrasion phenomenon caused by friction with the pull rod 13 by using a special plastic material for the teeth 21 '.

Further, according to the present invention, the detection means (30) is arranged adjacent to the drive plate (21) so as to detect the information of the carrier (11). The sensing means 30 is configured to acquire all kinds of information (kind, owner, cost, etc.) including the quantity of clothes hanged on the clothes hangers 15 on the carrier 11. [ Of course, such information may be set differently depending on the installation location of a large-sized clothing store, a department store, a hotel, and the like.

According to the detailed configuration of the present invention, the sensing means 30 includes a counting sensor 32 for detecting the number of carriers 11 and the number of clothes hangers 15 to be conveyed, a detecting means 32 for detecting information of the carrier 11 and the clothes hangers 15, And a reader (34) for reading and writing data. The coefficient sensor 32 is selected and installed from a proximity sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a laser sensor, or the like. However, a CCD camera may be additionally used in detecting clothes which are irregular. The reader 34 can detect a wider range of information from an RFID tag (not shown) attached to the carrier 11 or the hanger 15.

At this time, the coefficient sensor 32 is disposed adjacent to the sensing groove 21a of the driving plate 21 and detects information from the carrier 11, the clothes hanger 15, clothing, and the like through the sensing groove 21a. The reader 34 is not limited to the detection groove 21a but is provided on a path along which the carrier 11 moves to detect information. The drive motor 26 of the drive means 20 may be provided with an encoder 36 for detecting and controlling the number of revolutions.

Although not shown in the drawings, the sensing means 30 may be spaced apart from the drive plate 21 and the carrier 11 so that a photosensor may be installed on the path along which the clothes are moved.

According to the present invention, the adjustment means (40) receives the signal of the sensing means (30) and outputs the transfer information of the carrier (11). The adjustment means 40 may be set differently depending on the installation location of a large-sized clothing store, a department store, a hotel, and the like. In any case, it is configured such that the information of the clothes to be transferred from the desk for delivering and receiving the clothes is collectively collected and automatically processed.

According to the detailed configuration of the present invention, the adjusting means 40 includes a monitor 41 for displaying the conveying state of the carrier 11 and the clothes hanger 15, a printer 42 for outputting the calculated costs related to the requested clothes, And a controller 45 for performing the transfer and settlement with the set algorithm. The monitor 41 is preferably a touch screen that processes information as well as command input. The printer 42 outputs information such as the price of the clothes, the laundry cost, the repair cost, the storage cost, the rental cost, and the receipt with the settled cost in the set format. The controller 45 has a microprocessor, a memory, and an I / O interface.

According to the detailed configuration of the present invention, the adjusting means 40 includes an induction rod 47 on the driving plate 21 for restraining the pivotal movement of the carrier 11, and a sliding friction resistance And the roller (48) is rotated close to the carrier (11), thereby restricting the swinging. The carrier 11 is severely pivoted by the centrifugal force passing through the semicircular path in the straight path of the rail 10 and therefore the abrasion between the driving plate 21 and the traction rod 13 proceeds rapidly so that foreign substances such as dust ), A hanger (15), and clothes. The guide rod 47 is engaged with the carrier 11 to pass through the drive plate 21 through the rotation of the roller 48 formed at the lower portion thereof so as to restrain the swinging motion to delay the wear, 30) also improves the accuracy and speed of detection.

At this time, the guide rods 47 of the present invention are vertically installed at positions adjacent to the respective teeth on the bottom surface of the drive plate 21. [ An induction rod (47) is arranged on the inner contour line formed when the linear carrier (11) passes the semicircular rail (10).

On the other hand, it is preferable that the roller 48 is rotatably installed on a portion of the guide rod 47 which is in contact with the carrier 11 via a bearing. The roller 48 uses a resin material having abrasion resistance, impact resistance, and elasticity. According to this method, abrasion due to friction is advantageous for preventing noise in the transporting process.

At this time, the carrier 11 of the present invention is further characterized by a reservoir 51 for storing the flour generated due to friction at the lower end. The carrier 11 is provided with a plurality of carriers (not shown) via a pull rod 13 on one side of the carrier 11 for mounting and using the carrier 11 continuous on the rail 10, 11) are connected in series. The carrier 11 having such a configuration is conveyed according to the shape of the rail 10. When the rail 11 is repeatedly conveyed along the rails 10 of the semicircular path, the inclined path and the branch path, Impurities such as flour are generated at the bonding portion between the carrier 11 and the pulling rods 13 due to the rotational friction with the pulling rods 13.

That is, impurities such as flour are continuously generated in proportion to the movement of the transfer device, and such impurities fall on the clothes hangers 15 mounted on the lower ends of the carriers 11, Problems arise.

In order to solve this problem, in the present invention, a reservoir 51 for storing impurities such as flour at one side of the carrier 11 is provided, and a part of the reservoir 51 is coupled to the lower end of the carrier 11, And the traction rod 13 are engaged with each other and rotates, the body of the reservoir 51 is positioned so that impurities such as dust can be stored therein.

In operation, the counting sensor 32 counts the number of clothes hanged on the hanger 15 while the driving plate 21 is rotated by the rotation of the driving motor 26. If the clothesless portion is found, The conveying speed is slowed or conveyed in the reverse direction. Such a state is graphically displayed on the monitor 41 and is easily controlled by the administrator.

Assuming that the apparatus of the present invention is installed in a laundry room of a hotel, clothes having been laundered are hooked on a carrier 11 by a hanger 15, and an RFID tag to which various information is inputted is attached. When the user desires the receipt of a specific piece of clothes through the touch screen at the desk, the controller 45 detects it at the reader 34 and drives the drive motor 26 forward or reverse to stop at the desk.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. It is therefore intended that such variations and modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.
