Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a collar correction mechanism in a garment pre-processing machine.

(Prior Art) For example, in the process of washing, drying, ironing, or folding large quantities of clothing such as yukatas and gowns, loading, dressing, and many other tasks are automated.
The first operation is to place the washed clothes on the conveyance surface without disturbance in the pretreatment process (loading process).

(Technical Problem) The above-mentioned feeding process is usually used to send the garment to the processing process in a trimmed state, but the appearance of the garment at this stage often affects the final product. Among these, the collar is a key point; whether the garment is loaded manually or mechanically, it is desirable that the collar is perfect, and it is the difference between the quality of the product and the quality of the product. For this reason, there are methods such as relying on workers to put it in, or tucking the collar inward to make it invisible.
That won't solve the problem.

The present invention has been made with attention to the above points, and its purpose is to check the appearance of the collar, especially when putting clothes in.
To provide a collar correction mechanism in a clothing pre-processing machine which can adjust the shape and thereby complete automatic feeding.

(Technical Means) The purpose is to place the garment onto a conveyor belt with the collar facing upward, and then to place the collar of the garment at a predetermined position on the conveyor surface in a pre-processing machine for the garment to be conveyed to the next process. a correction member that is wider than the collar and moves from bottom to top against the collar; a moving mechanism for a correction member provided on the body; and a pressurizing means for pressing the correction member along with a conveyance surface on which clothing is placed so that the collar is moved without applying pressure by the operation of the movement mechanism. This is achieved by the collar correction mechanism provided.

(Example) This will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a clothing pre-processing machine, which is composed of a large number of conveyor belts that are provided to transport the clothes from the middle of the front of the main body 1 toward the upper rear. A transport mechanism 2, a substantially gate-shaped input frame 3 which is pivotally supported at the lower end on the front side of the main body 1 and which can be tilted onto the conveyance surface, and a slot provided in the center of the input frame 3 for hanging the collar of clothing. It is equipped with a hanger mechanism 4 and a shaping device 5, which will be described later.

The collar correction mechanism 6 is installed in relation to the hanger mechanism 4, and includes a pair of hangers 7,
It is located above the hangers 7 and 8 in order to pressurize the collar when the hanger 8 slips out of the collar. In addition, the pair of hangers 7 and 8 are in an initial position in which the approximately L-shaped members are opened in a feeding T-shape (Figures 1 and 5), but the left and right hanger portions are turned approximately 90 degrees in the conveying direction and closed. It is configured to perform opening and closing movements up to the position shown in FIG. 6. Although the specific operating structure of the hanger mechanism 4 may be arbitrary, it opens and closes using the structure disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 1-175796, for example.

The collar correction mechanism 6 has a rod-shaped correction member 10 that extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the conveyance direction, which is substantially equal to the vertical direction of the garment, and the portion of the member 10 that contacts the collar faces downward, that is, toward the conveyance surface 9. The first link 13 protrudes from the upper base 11 and is on the moving mechanism 15 side.
It is rotatably supported by a support shaft 12 of.
10a indicates a protruding contact rod. Reference numeral 14 denotes a second support shaft, and the link 13 is pivotally supported at the upper end of the link 13, and the support shaft 14 is connected via a shaft coupling 16 to a rotary power source 17 consisting of a rotating cylinder for driving, etc. The link 13 can be rotated about the second support shaft. Further, at the first support shaft 12, a torsion spring 18 is applied so that the correction member 10 rotates by changing the support angle by the rotation of the link 14, and presses against the conveying surface. 19
1 is a mounting bracket, and the collar correction mechanism is attached to the input frame 3 via the bracket 19.

The illustrated pre-processing machine is equipped with a shaping device 5, which hangs a garment W on a shaped body 23 that is erected on a base 21 at the lower front via a support 22, and conveys the shaped body 23 as it is. It also has a configuration in which it can be handed over by tilting it onto the surface 9. Further, on both sides of the hanger mechanism 4, sleeve holding mechanisms 25, 25 are provided, respectively, which are equipped with left and right ducts 24, 24 for sucking and holding both sleeves of the clothes W hung on the hanger. installed on. The mechanism 25 has a hose 2 connected to a fan that sucks the sleeve into a duct suction port 26.
7. Guidance link 2 that rotates the duct 24 from the clothes attachment positions on the left and right sides of the hanger in the direction of the conveying surface 9.
8. It has a sleeve presser roll 29 that presses the sleeve against the conveying surface. 30 is a support shaft of the loading frame 3, and 31 is a telescopic rod for tilting the loading frame, which is operated by a cylinder mechanism within the main body.

(Operation) In the pretreatment machine configured as described above, the collar correction mechanism operates as follows. When the device is operated by hanging the clothes W on the hanger mechanism 4, the clothes W approaches the conveying surface 9 due to the tilting of the input frame 3 and stops, and the hanger 18 is closed and pulled out from the collar (Figs. 6 and 9).
), and at the same time the collar correction mechanism operates to correct the correction member 1.
0 approaches the collar from below and rotates so as to press it onto the conveyance surface 9.

Even when the contact rod 10a of the correction member 10 contacts the collar, the link 13 continues to rotate, so the correction member 10 changes its angle relative to the link 13 so that it is bent at the first support shaft 13. While being pulled by the link 13 and under the action of the elasticity of the torsion spring 18, the contact rod 10a presses against the collar of the garment W from bottom to top according to the speed difference (Figs. 7 and 10). ).

In the pressurizing correction operation by the above correction member 10, the acting force that presses against the conveyance surface 9 can be freely adjusted by the weight and shape of the correction member 10 and the strength of the spring 18. Kara hanger 7, 8
When the collar is removed, the collar is pinched and pressed against the conveyance surface 9 over the front width and entire length of the collar.

(Effects) Therefore, according to the present invention, the collar of clothing can be corrected by pressurizing and moving the correction member, thereby eliminating "bulges" and "sagging" around the collar.
The appearance and shape of the collar can be adjusted, and by shaping the collar, high-quality clothing can be processed with high efficiency, and the loading of clothing can be completely automated.
