The chuck 61' holds the position slightly below the upper end (corner end Ya) of the cloth. Next, after the chuck 51 of the corner end holding device 5 releases the cloth Y, as shown in FIG. 12, the chuck 61 is moved to the rear while the cloth near the corner end Ya is held by the chuck 61, and is placed on the platen. 64 pull the cloth type Y horizontally. Next, as shown in FIG. 13, after a predetermined distance is drawn laterally, the upper pressing plate 65 is lowered by the air cylinder 66 from the rising position indicated by the symbol 65', and the cloth Y is sandwiched between the platen 64 and then drawn laterally In continuation, when the sensor 67 disposed under the table 64 detects the end portion Yb of the cloth Y (or when the sensor 67 does not detect the cloth Y), the lateral drawing speed is switched to a low speed. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, when another sensor 68 arranged near the platen 64 detects the end portion Yb of the cloth Y (or when the sensor 68 does not detect the cloth Y), the lateral drawing stops . At this time, the other two corner ends of the cloth Y, except for the corner end Ya held by the chuck 61 and the corner end Yb pressed by the upper pressing plate 65, are arranged in the front and rear, and become the long sides of the hanging part. The state where Yc on one side of the side edge appears (triangular shape).

如圖15所示在台板64及上按壓板65的右側方設置有藉由馬達81驅動的摺緣輸送機8。該摺緣輸送機8為在前後方向互相隔開間隔配置延伸於左右方向的複數(在圖示例中為9條)條細皮帶8a。As shown in FIG. 15, a folding conveyor 8 driven by a motor 81 is provided on the right side of the platen 64 and the upper pressing plate 65. The folding conveyor 8 is formed by arranging a plurality of thin belts 8a (9 in the example of the figure) extending in the left-right direction at intervals in the front-rear direction.

2位置保持裝置7如圖15~圖20所示具有：分別安裝於延伸於前後方向的連結棒70的後端及前端之兩個夾頭71、72(以下也稱為中間部保持夾頭71、角端保持夾頭72)；使該各夾頭71、72升降之升降氣缸73；每一升降氣缸73使各夾頭71、72左右進退之進退裝置。進退裝置由如下構件構成：在垂下狀態保持升降氣缸73之驅動皮帶75；使捲繞於驅動皮帶75的滑輪旋轉之馬達74，惟若能使夾頭71、72移動於左右方向，則任何構造都可以，也可以使用進退氣缸。夾頭71、72間的距離例如使用可調整長度的連結棒70，或藉由以夾頭71、72之安裝於連結棒70的位置可變的構造，依照所處理的布類Y的大小等而可適宜變更也可以。2 The position holding device 7 as shown in FIGS. 15 to 20 has: two chucks 71, 72 (hereinafter also referred to as the middle part holding chuck 71) respectively attached to the rear end and the front end of the connecting rod 70 extending in the front-rear direction , Angle end holding chuck 72); lifting cylinder 73 to lift the chucks 71, 72; each lifting cylinder 73 advances and retreats the chucks 71, 72 left and right. The advance and retreat device consists of the following components: the drive belt 75 that holds the lifting cylinder 73 in a hanging state; the motor 74 that rotates the pulley wound on the drive belt 75, but if the chuck 71, 72 can move in the left and right directions, any structure Both can be used, and forward and backward cylinders can also be used. For example, the distance between the chucks 71 and 72 can be adjusted using a length-adjustable connecting rod 70, or the position of the chucks 71 and 72 installed on the connecting rod 70 can be changed according to the size of the fabric Y to be processed. It can be changed as appropriate.

如圖15所示，角端保持夾頭72位於可保持藉由橫向拉引裝置6而橫跨之布類Y的前側端部(角端Yb)的位置，中間部保持夾頭71位於可保持該橫跨之布類Y的後方側中間部的適當位置之位置。As shown in FIG. 15, the corner end holding chuck 72 is located at a position capable of holding the front end (corner end Yb) of the cloth Y spanned by the lateral pulling device 6, and the middle holding chuck 71 is located at the position capable of holding The position of the appropriate position of the middle part of the rear side of the cloth Y that spans.

升降氣缸73是在其縮短狀態下在橫跨於各夾頭71、72的布類Y的上方位置使各夾頭71、72待機(以圖15的實線圖示的狀態)，在伸長狀態下各夾頭71、72如在圖15以假想線及符號71’、72’圖示地下降到可保持所橫跨之布類Y的上緣的位置。The elevating cylinder 73 is in its shortened state, in the position above the cloth Y that straddles the respective chucks 71, 72, so that the respective chucks 71, 72 stand by (the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 15), and in the extended state The lower chucks 71 and 72 are lowered to a position where the upper edge of the cloth Y to be spanned can be maintained as illustrated by imaginary lines and symbols 71' and 72' in FIG. 15.

若藉由升降氣缸73的伸長而使2位置保持裝置7下降，則如圖16所示，角端保持夾頭72保持布類Y的前側端部(角端Yb)，同時中間部保持夾頭71保持布類Y的後方側的中間部。此時如圖15所示，藉由使配設於上按壓板65的後方近旁的夾頭69的開度由以符號69’表示的大大地打開的狀態縮小，可使角端保持夾頭72容易保持布類Y。然後布類Y自利用橫向拉引裝置6的夾頭61、上按壓板65及夾頭69進行的保持或限制被釋放。2位置保持裝置7接著如圖17所示，在摺緣輸送機8的上方位置藉由進退裝置朝摺緣輸送機8的終端側移動。摺緣輸送機8的皮帶在圖17中的箭頭的方向移動，布類Y的三角形狀部(側緣Yc近旁)可接觸摺緣輸送機8。而且，藉由設置於摺緣輸送機8的上下皮帶間的吹氣裝置(blow equipment)82的鼓風(air blow)的作用，成為該三角形狀部隨風飄動於(沿著)摺緣輸送機8的流動方向之狀態。If the 2-position holding device 7 is lowered by the extension of the lifting cylinder 73, as shown in FIG. 16, the corner end holding chuck 72 holds the front end (corner end Yb) of the cloth Y, while the middle part holds the chuck 71 holds the middle part of the cloth Y on the rear side. At this time, as shown in FIG. 15, by reducing the opening degree of the chuck 69 arranged near the rear of the upper pressing plate 65 from the greatly opened state indicated by the symbol 69', the corner end holding the chuck 72 can be reduced. Easy to maintain cloth Y. Then, the cloth Y is released from the holding or restriction by the chuck 61, the upper pressing plate 65 and the chuck 69 of the lateral pulling device 6. 2. Next, as shown in FIG. 17, the position holding device 7 moves to the terminal side of the flange conveyor 8 by the advance and retreat device at the position above the flange conveyor 8. The belt of the folding conveyor 8 moves in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 17, and the triangular-shaped portion of the cloth Y (near the side edge Yc) can contact the folding conveyor 8. Furthermore, by the action of the air blow of the blow equipment (blow equipment) 82 installed between the upper and lower belts of the flange conveyor 8, the triangular-shaped part is blown (along) the flange and conveys with the wind. The state of the flow direction of the machine 8.

接著如圖18所示，2位置保持裝置7的後方的夾頭71釋放布類Y，布類Y的單側(比角端Yb還後方側的部分)落下到摺緣輸送機8的移動的皮帶上。因布類Y的前側端部(角端Yb)藉由角端保持夾頭72保持住，故僅布類Y的落下部分如圖19所示朝右側移動而去。布類Y的落下部分一移動規定距離，就成為布類Y的長邊側的一方的側緣Yc對摺緣輸送機8的流動方向略正交的配置關係。成為該配置關係之後，如圖20所示，另一方的夾頭72釋放布類Y，使布類Y完全落下到摺緣輸送機8上。在摺緣輸送機8的終端部附近設置有檢測在摺緣輸送機8上移送而來的布類Y的先行側的側緣Yc之兩個感測器83，該感測器83一檢測出布類Y，摺緣輸送機8就被切換成低速。Next, as shown in FIG. 18, the chuck 71 at the rear of the 2-position holding device 7 releases the cloth Y, and one side of the cloth Y (the part behind the corner end Yb) drops to the moving edge of the flange conveyor 8. On the belt. Since the front end (corner end Yb) of the cloth Y is held by the corner end holding chuck 72, only the dropped portion of the cloth Y moves to the right as shown in FIG. 19. When the falling portion of the cloth Y moves a predetermined distance, one side edge Yc on the long side of the cloth Y is arranged in a relationship that is slightly orthogonal to the flow direction of the flange conveyor 8. After the arrangement relationship is established, as shown in FIG. 20, the other chuck 72 releases the cloth Y to completely drop the cloth Y onto the folding conveyor 8. Two sensors 83 for detecting the side edge Yc of the leading side of the cloth Y transferred on the folding conveyor 8 are provided near the terminal end of the folding conveyor 8. The sensor 83 detects For cloth type Y, the folding conveyor 8 is switched to low speed.

上下反轉裝置9如圖21所示具有：配置於摺緣輸送機8的終端部近旁，握持布類Y的長邊側的一方的側緣Yc之兩個夾頭92、93；配設於各夾頭92、93的近旁之兩個感測器94、95；支撐夾頭92、93的反轉軸96；使反轉軸96轉動之轉動氣缸91。此外，若是能使藉由兩個夾頭92、93握持的布類Y反轉的話，則使用任何機構都可以，取代轉動氣缸91使用使反轉軸96正反旋轉之馬達也可以。兩個夾頭92、93根據由感測器94、95取得的布類Y的側緣Yc的檢測信號，互相獨立進行動作而構成，據此可在兩個夾頭92、93間筆直保持布類Y的側緣Yc。As shown in Fig. 21, the up-and-down reversing device 9 has two chucks 92, 93 that are arranged near the end of the folding conveyor 8 and hold one side edge Yc of the long side of the cloth Y; Two sensors 94, 95 near each chuck 92, 93; a reversing shaft 96 that supports the chucks 92, 93; a rotating cylinder 91 that rotates the reversing shaft 96. In addition, if it is possible to reverse the cloth Y held by the two chucks 92, 93, any mechanism may be used, and instead of the rotating cylinder 91, a motor that rotates the reverse shaft 96 forward and backward may be used. The two chucks 92, 93 operate independently of each other based on the detection signal of the side edge Yc of the cloth Y obtained by the sensors 94, 95, so that the cloth can be held straight between the two chucks 92, 93 Side edge Yc of class Y.

該上下反轉裝置9如下所示進行動作。首先在摺緣輸送機8上移送而來的布類的先行側的側緣Yc藉由感測器94、95檢測出為止係各夾頭92、93如圖20所示，以略朝向側面(稍微上方傾斜)姿勢待機，在摺緣輸送機8上移送的布類Y的先行側的側緣Yc一藉由感測器94、95檢測出，就根據來自該感測器94、95的檢測信號使各夾頭92、93保持布類的先行側的側緣Yc。然後緊接著，轉動氣缸91縮短，在各夾頭92、93保持住布類的側緣Yc下以高速轉動到下方，成為圖22所示的朝下姿勢。此時以各夾頭92、93保持的布類Y急速地往下方打下去(在布類的短邊方向發生解開作用)而被垂下。然後以朝下姿勢保持布類Y的側緣Yc之各夾頭92、93在將其側緣Yc的各保持部遞送到後述的裝載裝置11的各夾頭111、112的時間點釋放其側緣Yc的各保持部，緊接著轉動到上方並返回到原先的待機位置。The vertical inversion device 9 operates as follows. First, the side edge Yc of the leading side of the cloth transferred on the edge folding conveyor 8 is detected by the sensors 94, 95 until the chucks 92, 93 are shown in Fig. 20, and are slightly facing the side ( (Slightly inclined upward) posture standby, the edge Yc of the leading side of the cloth Y conveyed on the folding conveyor 8 is detected by the sensors 94, 95, and then based on the detection from the sensors 94, 95 The signal causes the chucks 92 and 93 to hold the leading side edge Yc of the cloth. Then, the rotating cylinder 91 is shortened, and the chucks 92, 93 rotate to the lower side at a high speed while the side edges Yc of the cloth are held, and become the downward posture shown in FIG. 22. At this time, the cloth Y held by each of the chucks 92 and 93 is slammed down rapidly (unwinding action occurs in the short side direction of the cloth) and is hung down. Then, the chucks 92, 93 that hold the side edge Yc of the cloth Y in a downward posture release their sides at the time when the holding portions of the side edge Yc are delivered to the chucks 111, 112 of the loading device 11 described later. The holding parts of the edge Yc are then rotated upward and return to the original standby position.

如圖23所示在摺緣輸送機8的前方側部分的正下方，滾柱10，與用以將布類Y裝載於該滾柱10上之裝載裝置11係以該裝載裝置11在上滾柱10成為下的位置關係被設置。As shown in Fig. 23, just below the front part of the folding conveyor 8, the roller 10 and the loading device 11 for loading the cloth Y on the roller 10 are rolled up by the loading device 11 The positional relationship where the column 10 becomes lower is set.

裝載裝置11具有：朝向上下反轉裝置9側的進退台110；配置於進退台110的兩側方，自上下反轉裝置9的夾頭92、93接受布類Y之兩個夾頭111、112；夾頭感測器113、114。裝載裝置11藉由進退裝置而進退移動於左右方向(滾柱10的旋轉軸線(axis of rotation)方向)。雖然進退裝置在圖示例中由如下構件構成：保持進退台110之驅動皮帶116；使捲繞驅動皮帶116的滑輪旋轉之馬達115，但若是能使夾頭111、112進退於左右方向，則為任何構造都可以，使用例如進退氣缸也可以。The loading device 11 has: an advance and retreat table 110 facing the side of the up-and-down reversal device 9; and is arranged on both sides of the advance and retreat table 110, and receives two chucks 111, 111 of the cloth Y from the chucks 92 and 93 of the up-down reversal device 9 112; Chuck sensor 113, 114. The loading device 11 advances and retreats in the left-right direction (the axis of rotation direction of the roller 10) by the advance and retreat device. Although the advance and retreat device is composed of the following components in the illustrated example: the drive belt 116 that holds the advance and retreat table 110; the motor 115 that rotates the pulley that winds the drive belt 116, but if the chuck 111, 112 can advance and retreat in the left and right directions, Any structure is acceptable, and for example, a forward and backward cylinder can be used.

裝載裝置11由圖23所示的待機位置朝藉由上下反轉裝置9保持的布類Y接近移動，如圖24所示，夾頭感測器113、114一檢測出布類Y，夾頭111、112就朝進退台110的兩側部關閉而保持布類Y。此處由夾頭111、112夾住的布類Y的保持位置為接近由上下反轉裝置9的夾頭92、93夾住的布類Y的保持位置之位置。此外，兩個夾頭111、112個別獨立進行動作而構成也可以，據此，可更筆直地保持布類Y的側緣Yc之兩個夾頭111、112間的部分。布類Y的遞送後，上下反轉裝置9如圖25所示反轉並返回到原先的位置，由裝載裝置11的軌道上退避。滾柱10因以其旋轉軸線與裝載裝置11的進退方向成平行的方式被配置，故垂下保持布類Y的裝載裝置11一後退，就如圖25所示成為布類Y被裝載於滾柱10上且由滾柱10上垂下的狀態。此時與藉由夾頭111、112保持的長邊側的側緣Yc相反側的側緣Yd藉由感測器101檢測，在該檢測之後的規定時間經過後夾頭111、112釋放布類Y。該規定時間被適宜設定，以在布類Y的寬度方向中央與滾柱10的寬度方向中央略一致時夾頭111、112釋放布類Y。此外，裝載裝置11在夾頭111、112釋放布類Y後也持續後退僅規定距離。The loading device 11 moves closer to the cloth Y held by the up-and-down reversing device 9 from the standby position shown in FIG. 23. As shown in FIG. 24, the chuck sensors 113 and 114 detect the cloth Y, and the chuck 111 and 112 are closed toward both sides of the advance and retreat table 110, and the cloth Y is held. Here, the holding position of the cloth Y clamped by the chucks 111 and 112 is a position close to the holding position of the cloth Y clamped by the chucks 92 and 93 of the vertical reversing device 9. In addition, the two chucks 111 and 112 may be configured to operate independently. According to this, the part between the two chucks 111 and 112 of the side edge Yc of the cloth Y can be held more straight. After the cloth Y is delivered, the up-and-down reversing device 9 reverses as shown in FIG. 25 and returns to the original position, and is retreated on the track of the loading device 11. The roller 10 is arranged so that its axis of rotation is parallel to the advancing and retreating direction of the loading device 11. Therefore, when the loading device 11 that hangs down and holds the cloth Y is retreated, the cloth Y is loaded on the roller as shown in FIG. 25 10 on top and hanging down by the roller 10. At this time, the side edge Yd opposite to the side edge Yc on the long side held by the chucks 111, 112 is detected by the sensor 101, and the chucks 111, 112 release the cloth after a predetermined time after the detection has passed Y. This predetermined time is appropriately set so that the chucks 111 and 112 release the cloth Y when the center in the width direction of the cloth Y slightly coincides with the center in the width direction of the roller 10. In addition, the loading device 11 continues to retreat only a predetermined distance even after the chucks 111 and 112 release the cloth Y.

滾柱10如圖26所示由在同一軸線上相鄰配置的第一部分滾柱102及第二部分滾柱103構成。第一部分滾柱102透過驅動皮帶105連接於馬達104，藉由該馬達104旋轉驅動。第二部分滾柱103透過驅動皮帶107連接於馬達106，藉由該馬達106旋轉驅動。馬達104、106的旋轉方向及轉速可個別獨立進行控制，較佳為如圖27所示，根據來自在各部分滾柱102、103的下方與滾柱的旋轉軸線平行排列的複數個感測器群108、109的檢測信號，可將滾柱10上的布類Y的方向修正為正確的方向(例如布類Y的長度方向與前後方向一致的方向)而個別獨立被控制。例如如圖26所示，布類Y被斜斜地裝載在滾柱10上，如圖27所示在感測器群108、109之中僅感測器群109檢測出布類Y的短邊側的側緣Ye的情形下，根據該檢測結果，該側緣Ye與感測器群108、109成平行且到兩感測器群108、109同時檢測出布類Y的短邊側的側緣Ye為止，第一部分滾柱102及第二部分滾柱103的停止、正轉、反轉重複。此外，在圖示例中雖然各感測器群108、109分別由5個感測器構成，但感測器的數目不被限定於5個，依照所處理的布類Y的寬度既可以為4個以下也可以為6個以上，而且依照所處理的布類Y切換成使其運轉的感測器也可以。The roller 10 is composed of a first partial roller 102 and a second partial roller 103 arranged adjacent to each other on the same axis as shown in FIG. 26. The first part of the roller 102 is connected to a motor 104 through a driving belt 105 and is driven by the motor 104 to rotate. The second part of the roller 103 is connected to the motor 106 through the driving belt 107 and is driven by the motor 106 to rotate. The rotation direction and rotation speed of the motors 104 and 106 can be individually and independently controlled, preferably as shown in FIG. 27, based on a plurality of sensors arranged parallel to the axis of rotation of the rollers 102 and 103 below each part The detection signals of the groups 108 and 109 can correct the direction of the cloth Y on the roller 10 to the correct direction (for example, the direction in which the longitudinal direction of the cloth Y coincides with the front-rear direction) and can be individually controlled. For example, as shown in FIG. 26, the cloth Y is loaded obliquely on the roller 10. As shown in FIG. 27, only the sensor group 109 of the sensor groups 108 and 109 detects the short side of the cloth Y In the case of the side edge Ye on the side, according to the detection result, the side edge Ye is parallel to the sensor groups 108 and 109 and detects the short side side of the cloth Y at the same time to the two sensor groups 108 and 109. Up to the edge Ye, the stop, forward rotation, and reverse rotation of the first partial roller 102 and the second partial roller 103 are repeated. In addition, in the example shown in the figure, although each sensor group 108 and 109 is composed of 5 sensors, the number of sensors is not limited to 5, and the width of the fabric Y to be processed may be 4 or less may be 6 or more, and the sensor may be switched to operate according to the fabric Y to be processed.

進退裝置12是將在滾柱10上成為正確的方向的布類Y移載到搬送輸送機13之裝置，如圖28所示具有：具有比布類Y的寬度還大的握持寬度而握持布類Y的短邊側的端部之握持部；使握持部進退於前後方向之進退機構。在該參考形態中，上述握持部由如下構件構成：朝滾柱10側傾斜之保持台123a；對保持台123a藉由氣缸等開閉之保持板123b。而且，上述進退機構由如下構件構成：使結合於保持台123a的驅動皮帶122與捲繞驅動皮帶122的滑輪旋轉之馬達121，惟使用進退氣缸也可以。The advance and retreat device 12 is a device that transfers the cloth Y in the correct direction on the roller 10 to the conveying conveyor 13. As shown in FIG. 28, it has a gripping width larger than the width of the cloth Y to hold The grip part at the end of the short side of the cloth Y; advance and retreat mechanism that makes the grip part advance and retreat in the front and rear directions. In this reference form, the above-mentioned grip portion is composed of a holding table 123a inclined toward the roller 10 side, and a holding plate 123b that is opened and closed by an air cylinder or the like to the holding table 123a. In addition, the aforementioned advance and retreat mechanism is composed of a motor 121 that rotates the drive belt 122 coupled to the holding table 123a and the pulley that winds the drive belt 122, but the advance and retreat cylinder may be used.

藉由進退裝置12在將滾柱10上的布類Y移載到搬送輸送機13時如圖28所示，使第一部分滾柱102及第二部分滾柱103同時且以相同速度朝進退裝置12側旋轉，使布類Y之位於感測器群108、109近旁的側緣Ye朝進退裝置12側接近，而且，如圖29所示使進退裝置12的握持部前進，使保持板123b打開的狀態的握持部的保持台123a的頂端按壓設置於滾柱10的下部的吹氣構件10a，在保持台123a的頂端與吹氣構件10a之間夾入滾柱10上的布類Y的搬送輸送機13側的部分，在該狀態下如圖30所示，自吹氣構件10a使空氣噴出，與此同時更進一步使第一部分滾柱102及第二部分滾柱103旋轉於進退裝置12側。據此布類Y的上述側緣Ye被放置於保持台123a上。然後如圖31所示，保持板123b閉合，在與保持台123a之間布類Y的側緣Ye被保持。布類Y之藉由握持部的保持台123a與保持板123b保持以外的部分成為自保持台123a垂下的狀態。在該狀態下進退裝置12的握持部如圖32所示被移動到搬送輸送機13側。握持部後退規定距離後如圖33所示，保持板123b再度被打開，布類Y被放入搬送輸送機13上。此外，進退裝置12的握持部在保持板123b釋放布類Y後也持續後退僅規定距離。When the cloth Y on the roller 10 is transferred to the conveying conveyor 13 by the advancing and retreating device 12, as shown in FIG. 28, the first roller 102 and the second roller 103 are simultaneously and at the same speed toward the advancing and retreating device. The 12 side rotates to make the side edge Ye of the cloth Y located near the sensor groups 108 and 109 approach the advancing and retreating device 12 side, and, as shown in FIG. 29, advance the grip portion of the advancing and retreating device 12 to advance the holding plate 123b The top end of the holding stand 123a of the holding part in the opened state presses the blowing member 10a provided at the lower part of the roller 10, and the cloth Y on the roller 10 is sandwiched between the top end of the holding stand 123a and the blowing member 10a The part on the conveying conveyor 13 side, in this state, as shown in Figure 30, blows air from the blowing member 10a, and at the same time further rotates the first part roller 102 and the second part roller 103 in the advance and retreat device 12 sides. Accordingly, the side edge Ye of the cloth Y is placed on the holding table 123a. Then, as shown in FIG. 31, the holding plate 123b is closed, and the side edge Ye of the cloth Y is held between the holding table 123a. The portion of the cloth Y that is not held by the holding stand 123a and holding plate 123b of the grip portion is in a state of hanging down from the holding stand 123a. In this state, the grip portion of the forward and backward device 12 is moved to the conveying conveyor 13 side as shown in FIG. 32. After the grip portion has moved back a predetermined distance, as shown in FIG. 33, the holding plate 123b is opened again, and the cloth Y is put on the conveying conveyor 13. In addition, the grip portion of the advancing and retreating device 12 continues to retreat by a predetermined distance even after the holding plate 123b releases the cloth Y.

搬送輸送機13如圖34所示具有：具有多數個貫通孔之皮帶133；驅動皮帶133之馬達132；經由形成於皮帶133的貫通孔吸引皮帶133上的布類Y之抽風機131。如此藉由吸引搬送輸送機13上的布類Y，使藉由進退裝置12的握持部保持的布類Y的側緣Ye落下到搬送輸送機13上而能順暢地進行移載。然後搬送輸送機13搬出布類Y並將布類Y搬送(投入)到下一程序(此處為布類摺疊機D)。此外，在進退裝置12的握持部將布類Y移載到搬送輸送機13上時搬送輸送機13不驅動皮帶133也可以，但由增加處理塊數的觀點驅動皮帶133較佳。As shown in FIG. 34, the conveying conveyor 13 has: a belt 133 having a plurality of through holes; a motor 132 that drives the belt 133; and an exhaust fan 131 that sucks the cloth Y on the belt 133 through the through holes formed in the belt 133. In this way, by sucking the cloth Y on the conveying conveyor 13, the side edge Ye of the cloth Y held by the grip portion of the advancing and retreating device 12 is dropped onto the conveying conveyor 13, so that it can be transferred smoothly. Then, the conveying conveyor 13 unloads the cloth Y and conveys (puts in) the cloth Y to the next program (here, cloth folding machine D). In addition, the conveyor 13 may not drive the belt 133 when the cloth Y is transferred to the conveyor 13 by the grip of the forward and retreat device 12, but it is preferable to drive the belt 133 from the viewpoint of increasing the number of processing blocks.

依照成為上述構成的參考形態的布類自動撐開機，僅藉由將洗濯、乾燥後的布類Y投入到供給輸送機1上，藉由供給輸送機1、吊起裝置2、暫時保持裝置3、角端現出裝置4、角端保持裝置5、橫向拉引裝置6、2位置保持裝置7、摺緣輸送機8、上下反轉裝置9、滾柱10、裝載裝置11、進退裝置12、搬送輸送機13自動地撐開布類Y，可搬送(投入)到下一程序。According to the cloths of the reference form of the above-mentioned configuration, the cloths are automatically stretched and turned on, and the washed and dried cloths Y are put on the supply conveyor 1, and the supply conveyor 1, the lifting device 2, and the temporary holding device 3 , Angle end emerges device 4, corner end holding device 5, lateral pulling device 6, 2 position holding device 7, folding edge conveyor 8, up and down reversing device 9, roller 10, loading device 11, advance and retreat device 12, The conveying conveyor 13 automatically expands the cloth Y and can convey (put in) to the next program.

因此，在該參考形態的布類自動撐開機中，供給輸送機1、吊起裝置2、暫時保持裝置3、角端現出裝置4及角端保持裝置5構成從由複數塊布類Y構成的布類塊X使布類Y一塊一塊地分離之分離手段，橫向拉引裝置6、2位置保持裝置7、摺緣輸送機8及上下反轉裝置9構成將該一塊一塊地分離的布類Y摺緣之摺緣手段，滾柱10、裝載裝置11、進退裝置12構成將該已摺緣的布類Y撐開之撐開手段，搬送輸送機13構成將該已撐開的布類Y搬出到後程序之搬出手段。Therefore, in the automatic cloth support of this reference form, the supply conveyor 1, the lifting device 2, the temporary holding device 3, the corner end emerging device 4, and the corner end holding device 5 are composed of multiple pieces of cloth Y The cloth piece X separates the cloth Y piece by piece. The horizontal pulling device 6, the 2 position holding device 7, the folding conveyor 8, and the up and down reversing device 9 constitute the piece of cloth to separate the cloth. Flanging means for Y-folding. The roller 10, the loading device 11, and the advance and retreat device 12 constitute the spreading means for spreading the folded cloth Y, and the conveying conveyor 13 constitutes the spreading cloth Y The method of moving out after moving out.

可是，在該參考形態的布類自動撐開機中，上述分離手段之中在例如吊起裝置2與角端現出裝置4與角端保持裝置5的各個，如圖35~圖37所示可能有產生布類Y的操作失敗的情形。However, in the automatic cloth support of this reference form, among the above-mentioned separating means, for example, the lifting device 2 and the corner end emerging device 4 and the corner end holding device 5 may be as shown in Figures 35 to 37. There are cases where the operation of cloth type Y fails.

也就是說，在吊起裝置2中，本來如圖4所示同時如圖35(a)所示，夾頭21由供給輸送機1上的布類塊X藉由握持爪握持一塊或數塊布類Y的任意處並將該等布類Y吊起到規定高度時，如圖35(b)所示有布類Y的吊起失敗的情形，其原因為例如如圖35(c)所示，想吊起的布類Y在布類塊X中與其他的布類纏繞，如前述因施加於作成拉引布類也不損傷布類的形狀之夾頭21的握持爪的負載過大，或者如圖35(d)所示夾頭21***握持爪的場所為布類塊X的比較平坦的部位，故無法以握持爪握持布類Y等。That is, in the lifting device 2, as shown in FIG. 4 and as shown in FIG. 35(a), the chuck 21 is held by the cloth block X on the supply conveyor 1 by the gripping claw. When several pieces of cloth Y are hoisted to a predetermined height at any place, as shown in Fig. 35(b), the hoisting of cloth Y fails. The reason is, for example, as shown in Fig. 35(c) As shown in ), the cloth Y that you want to hang is entangled with other cloths in the cloth block X, as described above, because it is applied to the gripping claws of the chuck 21 that does not damage the shape of the cloth to be drawn The load is too large, or the place where the chuck 21 is inserted into the gripping claws as shown in FIG. 35(d) is a relatively flat portion of the cloth piece X, so the cloth Y etc. cannot be held by the gripping claws.

而且，在角端現出裝置4中，本來如圖6所示同時如圖36(a)、(b)所示，夾頭41重新握持暫時保持裝置3的夾頭31所握持懸吊的布類Y並將布類Y引入台板43上及角端現出滾柱44、45間時，如圖36(c)所示有布類Y的引入失敗的情形，其原因為例如布類Y在台板43的跟前側纏繞複數塊(例如3~5塊)而施加於夾頭41的握持爪的負載過大，或者夾頭41重新握持布類Y的位置過淺。In addition, in the corner end emergence device 4, originally as shown in FIG. 6 and as shown in FIGS. 36(a) and (b), the chuck 41 re-holds the suspension held by the chuck 31 of the temporary holding device 3. When the cloth type Y is introduced into the table 43 and the rollers 44 and 45 appear at the corner end, the introduction of cloth type Y fails as shown in Figure 36(c). The reason is, for example, cloth A plurality of pieces (for example, 3 to 5 pieces) of the cloth Y are wound on the front side of the platen 43, and the load applied to the gripping claws of the chuck 41 is too large, or the position where the cloth Y is held by the chuck 41 again is too shallow.

而且，在角端現出裝置4中，因使布類Y成僅1塊的狀態，同時在後程序的橫向拉引裝置6，布類Y的長邊側的側緣Yc容易出現，故本來如圖9所示同時如圖37(a)、(b)所示，角端現出滾柱44、45將布類Y的盡可能角端現出並保持時，如圖37(c)所示有布類Y的保持失敗的情形，其原因為例如布類Y的角端通過了角端現出滾柱44、45間，或者自角端現出滾柱44、45間滑落等。Moreover, in the corner-end-extruding device 4, the cloth Y is made into a single piece, and at the same time, the lateral drawing device 6 of the later program makes the side edge Yc on the long side of the cloth Y easy to appear, so originally As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 37 (a), (b), when the corner ends appear rollers 44, 45 to show and hold the corner ends of the cloth Y as much as possible, as shown in Figure 37 (c) There are cases where the holding of the cloth Y fails. For example, the corner end of the cloth Y passes through the corner end and appears between the rollers 44 and 45, or the roller 44 and 45 appear from the corner end to slip off.

如上述，在分離手段的各個操作裝置中完全防止操作的失敗很困難。因此，本發明的一實施形態的布類自動撐開機如以圖38的斜視圖同時以圖39的前視圖所示，在上述的參考形態的布類自動撐開機中各具備兩台構成分離手段的供給輸送機1、吊起裝置2、暫時保持裝置3、角端現出裝置4及角端保持裝置5的各個，關於第2台的各裝置是在符號加入II而表示。該等裝置的第1台與第2互相具有同一功能，以兩台布類操作裝置同時進行。As described above, it is difficult to completely prevent the failure of the operation in each operation device of the separation means. Therefore, the automatic cloth support of an embodiment of the present invention is shown in the oblique view of FIG. 38 and the front view of FIG. 39. The automatic cloth support of the above-mentioned reference form has two separate means for each configuration. For each of the supply conveyor 1, the lifting device 2, the temporary holding device 3, the corner end emerging device 4, and the corner end holding device 5, each device of the second unit is indicated by adding II to the symbol. The first and second of these devices have the same function with each other, and they are performed simultaneously with two cloth operating devices.

也就是說，該實施形態的布類自動撐開機在該布類自動撐開機的下端中央部互相相反方向具備供給輸送機1與供給輸送機1II，同時在該布類自動撐開機的左右端部互相面對面具備吊起裝置2與吊起裝置2II，如圖40(a)所示在供給輸送機1與供給輸送機1II的中央一投入由複數塊(例如10~50塊左右)之已乾燥的布類Y構成的布類塊X，供給輸送機1就進行朝吊起裝置2的搬送動作，另一方面，供給輸送機1II進行朝吊起裝置2II的搬送動作，布類塊X大致均等地被二分割且被搬送到吊起裝置2、2II的各自的正下方。That is to say, the automatic cloth support machine of this embodiment is equipped with the supply conveyor 1 and the supply conveyor 1II in the opposite direction to the center of the lower end of the cloth automatic support machine, and at the same time at the left and right ends of the cloth automatic support machine. There are hoisting device 2 and hoisting device 2II facing each other. As shown in Figure 40(a), a plurality of pieces (for example, about 10-50 pieces) of dried pieces are put in the center of the supply conveyor 1 and the supply conveyor 1II. The cloth block X composed of cloth Y is transported to the hoisting device 2 when the conveyor 1 is supplied. On the other hand, the supply conveyor 1II is transported to the hoisting device 2II, and the cloth blocks X are almost uniform It is divided into two and transported directly below each of the lifting devices 2 and 2II.

此外，布類塊X無法均等地分割的情形首先藉由供給輸送機1、1II將該布類塊X搬送到吊起裝置2、2II之中的一方的正下方，藉由該吊起裝置將布類Y某種程度吊起而使布類塊X的布類Y的量減少的話，則藉由供給輸送機1、1II將該布類塊X搬送到吊起裝置2、2II之中的他方的正下方，以藉由該吊起裝置吊起布類Y也可以。In addition, when the cloth block X cannot be divided equally, first, the cloth block X is transported by the supply conveyor 1, 1II to just below one of the lifting devices 2, 2II, and the lifting device will If the cloth Y is hoisted to some extent and the amount of cloth Y of the cloth block X is reduced, the cloth block X is transported to the other of the lifting devices 2, 2II by the supply conveyor 1, 1II It is also possible to use the lifting device to lift the cloth Y directly below.

而且，該實施形態的布類自動撐開機在吊起裝置2、2II的各自的吊起位置的近旁互相面對面具備暫時保持裝置3與暫時保持裝置3II，暫時保持裝置3藉由夾頭31接受吊起裝置2的夾頭21在最上位位置吊起保持的布類Y的上端部附近並在後退位置懸吊保持，同樣地，暫時保持裝置3II藉由夾頭31II接受吊起裝置2II的夾頭21II在最上位位置吊起保持的布類Y的上端部附近並在後退位置懸吊保持。Furthermore, the automatic cloth support device of this embodiment is provided with a temporary holding device 3 and a temporary holding device 3II facing each other in the vicinity of the respective lifting positions of the lifting devices 2, 2II, and the temporary holding device 3 receives the lifting by the chuck 31 The chuck 21 of the lifting device 2 suspends the held cloth Y near the upper end at the uppermost position and is suspended and held in the backward position. Similarly, the temporary holding device 3II receives the chuck of the lifting device 2II through the chuck 31II The 21II is suspended near the upper end of the cloth Y held at the uppermost position and held at the retreat position.

再者，該實施形態的布類自動撐開機在暫時保持裝置3與暫時保持裝置3II的各自的後側的近旁互相面對面具備角端現出裝置4與角端現出裝置4II，角端現出裝置4藉由夾頭41重新握持暫時保持裝置3的夾頭31所握持懸吊的布類Y的上端部附近並引入台板43上及角端現出滾柱44、45間，在將布類Y朝下方送到藉由角端現出滾柱44、45夾持該布類Y的角端為止後使角端現出滾柱44、45停止並懸吊布類Y，同樣地，角端現出裝置4II藉由夾頭41II重新握持暫時保持裝置3II的夾頭31II所握持懸吊的布類Y的上端部附近並引入台板43II上及角端現出滾柱44II、45II間，在將布類Y朝下方送到藉由角端現出滾柱44II、45II夾持該布類Y的角端為止後使角端現出滾柱44II、45II停止並懸吊布類Y。Furthermore, the automatic cloth support device of this embodiment is provided with a corner end protruding device 4 and a corner end protruding device 4II facing each other in the vicinity of the respective back sides of the temporary holding device 3 and the temporary holding device 3II, and the corner end emerging The device 4 uses the chuck 41 to re-hold the cloth Y near the upper end of the suspended cloth Y held by the chuck 31 of the temporarily holding device 3 and introduce it onto the table 43 and the rollers 44 and 45 appear at the corner end. Send the cloth Y downwards until the corner end of the cloth Y is clamped by the corner exit rollers 44, 45, stop the corner exit rollers 44, 45, and suspend the cloth Y. Similarly , The corner end emergence device 4II re-holds the suspended cloth Y near the upper end of the suspended cloth Y held by the chuck 31II of the temporary holding device 3II by the chuck 41II and is introduced onto the table 43II and the corner end emerges roller 44II , 45II, after the cloth Y is sent downwards until the corner end of the cloth Y is clamped by the corner exit rollers 44II, 45II, the corner exit rollers 44II, 45II are stopped and the cloth is suspended Class Y.

再者，該實施形態的布類自動撐開機在該布類自動撐開機的上部中央部具備角端保持裝置5與角端保持裝置5II，如圖40(c)所示角端保持裝置5藉由氣缸52使夾頭51進退，並藉由夾頭51握持住角端現出裝置4所保持懸吊角端的布類Y的上端部附近後，使夾頭51移動到橫向拉引裝置6的正面，另一方面，角端保持裝置5II藉由以馬達52II驅動的皮帶53II使夾頭51II進退，藉由夾頭51II握持住角端現出裝置4II保持懸吊角端的布類YII的上端部附近後，藉由以上述的控制裝置的控制，以不與夾頭51干涉的時機(timing)使夾頭51II移動到橫向拉引裝置6的正面。然後橫向拉引裝置6藉由夾頭61自該等夾頭51、51II接受布類Y、YII並在台板64上橫向拉引該布類Y、YII。Furthermore, the automatic cloth support device of this embodiment is equipped with a corner end holding device 5 and a corner end holding device 5II at the upper center of the cloth automatic support device, as shown in FIG. 40(c). The chuck 51 is advanced and retreated by the air cylinder 52, and the chuck 51 is held by the chuck 51 near the upper end of the cloth Y of the suspending corner end held by the corner end emerging device 4, and then the chuck 51 is moved to the lateral drawing device 6 On the other hand, the corner end holding device 5II advances and retreats the chuck 51II by a belt 53II driven by a motor 52II, and the chuck 51II holds the corner end emergence device 4II to hold the cloth YII of the hanging corner end After the vicinity of the upper end, the chuck 51II is moved to the front of the lateral drawing device 6 at a timing that does not interfere with the chuck 51 under the control of the above-mentioned control device. Then, the lateral pulling device 6 receives the cloth Y, YII from the chucks 51, 51II through the chuck 61, and pulls the cloth Y, YII on the table 64 laterally.

因此，依照該實施形態的布類自動撐開機，在構成分離手段的供給輸送機1、吊起裝置2、暫時保持裝置3、角端現出裝置4及角端保持裝置5的各個中互相進行同一處理的兩台裝置的一方即使操作失敗，因他方的裝置同時進行與其相同的處理不使處理中斷，故可防止在橫向拉引裝置6以後的後程序的布類Y的處理塊數的降低。Therefore, the cloths according to this embodiment are automatically stretched and started to operate mutually in each of the supply conveyor 1, the lifting device 2, the temporary holding device 3, the corner end emerging device 4, and the corner end holding device 5 constituting the separating means. Even if one of the two devices in the same processing fails, the other device does the same processing at the same time without interrupting the processing, so it can prevent the number of processing blocks of cloth Y in the post-program after the lateral pulling device 6 from decreasing. .

而且，依照該實施形態的布類自動撐開機，因作為構成分離手段的布類操作裝置各具有兩台供給輸送機1、吊起裝置2、暫時保持裝置3、角端現出裝置4及角端保持裝置5以互相進行同一處理，分別藉由該等兩台的布類操作裝置同時進行由布類塊X一塊一塊地使布類Y分離用的供給程序與吊起程序與暫時保持程序與角端現出程序與角端保持程序的處理，故互相進行同一處理的兩台布類操作裝置的一方即使操作失敗，因他方的布類操作裝置同時進行與其相同的處理不使處理中斷，故能以必要最小限度的廉價的構成防止在橫向拉引裝置6以後的後程序的布類Y的處理塊數的降低。Moreover, the cloth automatic support device according to this embodiment has two supply conveyors 1, a lifting device 2, a temporary holding device 3, a corner end emerging device 4, and a corner end exit device 4, respectively. The end holding device 5 performs the same processing with each other. The two cloth operating devices simultaneously perform the supply process, the lifting process, and the temporary holding process for separating the cloth Y from the cloth block X one by one. The processing of the end-appearing program and the corner-end holding program, so even if one of the two cloth operating devices that perform the same processing with each other fails, because the other cloth operating device performs the same processing at the same time without interrupting the processing, it can be The minimal and inexpensive structure is necessary to prevent the reduction in the number of processing blocks of the cloth Y in the subsequent process after the lateral drawing device 6.

而且，依照該實施形態的布類自動撐開機，因分離手段具有藉由供給程序與吊起程序與暫時保持程序與角端現出程序與角端保持程序的5程序依次進行由布類塊X一塊一塊地使布類Y分離的處理之供給輸送機1、1II、吊起裝置2、2II、暫時保持裝置3、3II、角端現出裝置4、4II及角端保持裝置5、5II的10台布類操作裝置，該等布類操作裝置都是互相進行同一處理的兩台布類操作裝置，故即使在該等5程序的任一個，互相進行同一處理的兩台布類操作裝置的一台操作失敗，因其他的布類操作裝置同時進行與其相同的處理不使處理中斷，故可確實地防止在橫向拉引裝置6以後的後程序的布類Y的處理塊數的降低。Moreover, according to this embodiment, the cloth is automatically supported and turned on, because the separation means has 5 procedures including the supply procedure, the hoisting procedure, the temporary holding procedure, the corner end emerging procedure and the corner end holding procedure, and the cloth piece X is sequentially performed. One piece of cloth to separate the cloth Y, the supply conveyor 1, 1II, the lifting device 2, 2II, the temporary holding device 3, 3II, the corner end emerging device 4, 4II and the corner end holding device 5, 5II. These cloth operation devices are two cloth operation devices that perform the same process with each other. Therefore, even in any of the five procedures, one of the two cloth operation devices that perform the same process with each other fails. Since other cloth handling devices perform the same processing at the same time without interrupting the processing, it is possible to surely prevent a decrease in the number of processing blocks of cloth Y in the post-program after the lateral drawing device 6.

以上雖然是根據圖示例進行了說明，但本發明不是被上述的例子限定，在申請專利範圍的記載範圍內可適宜進行變更，在本發明的布類自動撐開機中例如分離手段不具有暫時保持裝置3，由吊起裝置2直接將布類Y遞送到角端現出裝置4也可以，而且互相同時進行同一處理的布類操作裝置為3台以上也可以，而且構成分離手段之供給輸送機1、吊起裝置2、暫時保持裝置3、角端現出裝置4及角端保持裝置5之中的例如特別有操作失敗多的傾向的一部分的布類操作裝置配設各複數台以互相同時進行同一處理也可以。Although the above description is based on the example shown in the figure, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned examples. It can be appropriately changed within the scope of the patent application. For example, in the automatic cloth support of the present invention, the separation means does not have a temporary For the holding device 3, the lifting device 2 can directly deliver the cloth Y to the corner end emergence device 4, and more than 3 cloth handling devices that perform the same treatment at the same time can be used, and they constitute the supply and conveyance of the separation means. Among the machine 1, the hoisting device 2, the temporary holding device 3, the corner end emerging device 4, and the corner end holding device 5, for example, some of the cloth operating devices that have a tendency to fail to operate frequently are arranged in plural to mutually It is also possible to perform the same treatment at the same time.

如此，依照本發明的布類自動撐開機，即使在分離手段中互相進行同一處理的複數台布類操作裝置的一台操作失敗，因其他的布類操作裝置同時進行與其相同的處理不使處理中斷，故可防止在分離手段的後程序的處理塊數的降低。In this way, according to the automatic cloth support of the present invention, even if the operation of a plurality of cloth operating devices that perform the same processing with each other in the separation means fails, the processing is not interrupted because the other cloth operating devices perform the same processing at the same time Therefore, it is possible to prevent the decrease in the number of processing blocks of the program after the separation means.
