Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparel inspection dummy that is used when trying on clothes and measuring pressure distribution, etc. in various parts of the clothes.

Conventionally, this type of dummy has been classified into five types based on size standards based on body measurements: infants, boys, girls, adult men, and adult women, and standard dummies for each have been provided. . However, since standard dummies based on this classification are set to average dimensions, it is impossible to correspond to the individualized dimensions of real people, and if you want to obtain a more precise model, it is necessary to use multiple types of standard dummies. You will have to prepare a dummy. In order to eliminate such inconvenience, the present invention provides a standard dummy with a range of dimensions that can be set so as to be able to be displaced in the horizontal and vertical directions for each outer skin forming the outline of the standard dummy. The present invention provides a dummy that embodies a three-dimensional image having a shape to enable more precise inspection.

The illustrated embodiments are representative for adult males and adult females. The other three types can be easily configured by partially modifying this dummy. In addition, as shown in Fig. 1, the dummy for an adult male has a head 1, a neck 2, a chest (including shoulders) 3, a torso 4, a waist 5, an arm 6, a hand 7,
It can be divided into the thigh region 8 and the foot region 9, and the standard dummy for adult women can be divided into 10 regions, which are the above 9 regions plus the breast region 3a, but among these, the most Body parts with large fluctuations, complex shape curves, and large length measurement widths (for adult males, it consists of four parts: neck 2, chest 3, torso 4, and waist 5; for adult females, it consists of the above-mentioned parts) It consists of five parts, including the breast part 3a.) will be shown as a representative. The other parts have smaller displacements and simpler shapes than in this case, so they can be easily configured. That is, as mentioned above, the body part is composed of four parts in the case of an adult male and five parts in the case of an adult female, and each part is further constituted by an accumulation of outer skin pieces 11 in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction. be done.
It is desirable to make the outer skin pieces 11 as small and thin as possible, and to arrange them in large numbers in parallel in order to obtain an accurate and smooth curved shape.
The degree of division shown in the figure is required. The outer skin piece 11 is attached to the modeling unit 10 together with the safety spring 12, the ball joint 13, the three-stage telescopic bellows guide rod 14, the bellows 15, the piping joint 16, and the mounting base 17.
Configure. The outer skin 11 is made of resin-based urethane rubber in order to impart elasticity and a good tactile feel to the surface.The outer skin 11 has an arched surface and a curved shape, and is a cylinder with an opening at the tip at the center of the inner surface. A safety spring 1 is attached to the cylindrical portion 18.
A ball joint 13 is fitted with the bellows 13 interposed therebetween, and the tip of a bellows 15, which is inserted into the inside of the bellows guide frame 14 and has a piping joint 16 connected to its base end, is fixed to the ball joint 13. . Further, a mounting base 17 is fixed to the base end of the bellows guide frame 14. Here the safety spring 12 inside the skin piece 11
is set to contract when a load greater than a safe load is applied to the outer skin piece, and acts as a safety mechanism to prevent damage to clothing, etc. The ball joint 13 allows the outer skin piece 11 to move freely, and the bellows guide frame 1
4 functions to contract the length of one step as one range and control the amount of contraction. The bellows 15 is preferably made of a nonferrous metal that has elasticity and can withstand repeated fatigue.
If it is desired to increase the extension length of the bellows 15, this can be done by adding a bellows guide frame 14. The modeling unit 10 has an outer skin 1 as shown in FIG.
The mounting bases 17 are arranged side by side with the movable direction being radial in the cross section with 1 facing outside, and the respective mounting bases 17 are fixed to a ring-shaped modeling unit mounting attachment 19 so that the outer skin pieces 11 are connected in an annular manner. The piping joints 16 of each modeling unit 10 are respectively connected to piping lines, and the piping lines protrude from the inside of the dummy body to the outside, and as shown in FIG. )
21, variable capacity adjustment gauge 22, return solenoid valve 23, supply solenoid valve 24, pressure gauge (with output) 25, pump 26 and tank 27 to detect contact pressure on the skin piece 11 and the skin piece This makes it possible to drive and control the That is, the tank 27 is filled with a paraffin-based liquid 28 having good fluidity, and the pump 26 pumps and sucks the liquid, thereby expanding and contracting the bellows 15 inside the modeling unit 10, displacing the outer skin piece 11, and controlling the amount of movement thereof. Control is performed by calibrating and correcting the amount of movement of the skin piece detected by the movement amount measurement sensor (with output) 21 and the pressure gauge (with output) 20, the pressure value, and the movement amount measurement sensor. . The outer skin piece 11 is a solenoid valve 24 for supplying the line to be moved.
It is driven by opening sequentially. The amount of movable displacement varies depending on the part, and is set so that the neck part 2 can have a circumference of at least 40 mm, the breast part 3a can have a circumference of at least 20 mm, and the other parts can have a circumference of at least 100 mm. The detection, drive, and control circuit system units for the modeling unit shown in FIG. 6 are installed at each location to increase speed and facilitate control. Next, the modeling unit mounting attachment 19, which fixed the modeling units 10 arranged radially in parallel, is attached to a column 29 erected in the center of the dummy so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. It is connected to the bellows 30 and configured to be displaceable in the same manner as in the above-mentioned system. The amount of displacement in the height direction shall be at least 50 mm in all parts due to the structure that expands and contracts between each part. In addition, 31 in the figure is a rotation stop key,
32 is a fixed flange, and 33 is a pipe joint. The outer skin pieces 11 configured to be displaceable in the circumferential direction and the height direction as described above are accumulated not only in the circumferential direction but also in the vertical direction to form contour curved surfaces of each region exhibiting a three-dimensional shape. It is then assembled to form the entire body of the dummy. If you do not need the head or legs, just assemble the body as shown in Figures 2 and 3, and install a height-adjustable screw shaft 34 and casters 35 for movement below the waist. It is also free to configure the structure in which it is attached. still,
Although not shown, a computer, a drive controller, and a D-A converter are connected to the above-mentioned vertical and horizontal drive, detection, and control circuits, and the desired three-dimensional image is digitized and the drive is controlled by the computer. It is configured to convert the signals input into the machine into D-A converters to sequentially displace each part, thereby realizing a desired three-dimensional image accurately and quickly through numerical control.
Additionally, an alarm device that issues an alarm signal when each part is displaced beyond a set value is also integrally attached. This is for safety reasons since there is a limit to the amount of movement allowed for each part. Furthermore, when trying on clothes and applying contact pressure that is more than necessary, the safety spring 12 is activated as described above, and then the return electromagnetic valve 23 is opened to reduce the pressure, thereby preventing damage to the clothes. It is also equipped with safety devices.

Next, to explain the measurement method using this dummy,
After realizing the desired three-dimensional shape through numerical control and setting the required pressure on each of the outer skin pieces 11, when the clothing is tried on on the dummy, each outer skin piece 11 is loaded and the sensor indicates a value higher than the set pressure, and the pressure difference occurs. Clothing pressure can be measured by reading. By reading this pressure distribution, it is possible to determine whether a garment is suitable as a standard product. That is, when measuring a standard product, it is extremely easy to set the required contact pressure of the clothing in advance and then judge whether the pressure is large or small with respect to the set pressure when the clothing is tried on. The set contact pressure is obtained by the expansion and contraction of the outer skin piece, and by reading the amount of displacement, it is possible to immediately quantify and determine which parts of the fitting are too large or small relative to the standard. Next, when measuring non-standard clothing, set the necessary contact pressure for each part to a small value in advance, try on the garment, and then stretch it until the pressure on each outer skin piece reaches the specified pressure. All you have to do is read the amount of displacement at that point.

As described above, the present invention arranges the required number of modeling units each having a skin piece at the tip that is movable laterally by a displacement device so that the skin pieces are connected in an annular manner in a cross section with the movable direction facing radially. The base end immovable part is attached to a fixed member having a longitudinal displacement device along the column, and each of the skin pieces is three-dimensionally assembled to constitute a dummy body of a whole body image or a partial image, and each of the skin pieces is A drive device that applies displacement motion to the horizontal displacement device and the vertical displacement device of the fixing member through piping lines, a pressure control device that applies a set pressure, and a pressure control device that applies a set pressure to the outer skin piece when trying on clothes. A sensor that detects the load and a display device that displays the clothing pressure from the pressure difference between the load and the set pressure are configured and connected in a series of circuits, and the lateral direction of the outer skin piece in the dummy body and the fixing member are connected. Since the standard dummy can be freely varied within a predetermined range, it is possible to easily and quickly provide a model with the desired dimensions and shape. This method is convenient, and also has the effect of improving inspection accuracy since it is possible to create a model that is extremely close to the shape actually required.
