[0001] APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DROP OFF AND PICK UP THE LAUNDRY [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a laundry loading and collecting apparatus for loading laundry to be washed and recovering laundered laundry, and more particularly, to a laundry loading and collecting apparatus for loading laundry, To an apparatus and method for inputting and recovering laundry.

Generally, large quantities of clothes should be stored and managed after washing in industries, hospitals, hotels, large dry cleaners and the like. In order to manage such clothes, a clothes conveying conveyor is usually used. An example of such a garment conveying conveyor is shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, and its construction and operation will be described as follows. A conventional garment conveying conveyor is composed of a conveyor apparatus 100 which rotatably operates to convey a hanging laundry, and a server which controls the rotation of the conveyor apparatus 100 to transfer a desired laundry to a discharge position.

The conveyor apparatus 100 includes an endless track type conveyor 200 for conveying laundry, and a motor M for rotating the conveyor 200. The conveyor 200 comprises a circular bar-shaped guide frame 201 and a plurality of hooking members 202 provided under the guide frame 201 and capable of hanging laundry.

The hanger member 202 is formed with a hinge hole H having a shape corresponding to the front and rear ends of the hanger member 202. A plurality of hanger members 202 are formed on the hinge hole H by protruding hinge pieces 203 protruding upward. Are continuously connected and connected in a link form to form an endless track. A plurality of rollers 204 are provided on the upper ends of the protruding hinge pieces 203 of the respective hook members 202 to prevent the hook members 202 from being separated from the surface of the guide frame 201.

Inside the curved main axis of the guide frame 201, a disk-like rotating body 300 having the same radius and rotated by a motor M is provided. The rotating body 300 has a trailing groove formed at its edge portion at a predetermined interval to pull the protruding hinge piece 203 formed at the upper end of the hooking member 202.

Further, a disc-shaped interlocking rotating body 400 having the same radius and a trailing groove 401 having a constant interval is formed on the inner side of the curved line on the opposite side of the rotating body 300, The rotating body 400 serves to prevent lateral movement of the hooking member 202.

However, the above-described conventional techniques have the following problems.

There is an urgent need to develop a laundry input and recovery device capable of automatically loading laundry to be washed in an industrial facility, a hospital, a hotel, a large laundry, etc., and automatically collecting the laundry in cooperation with the laundry conveying conveyor.
