Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of hanging systems, and mainly relates to an exit mechanism and a hanging system. Background Art

[0002] The hanging system is used in clothing and home textile production enterprises. It includes a ring track. Several workstations are arranged at intervals along the direction of the ring track. There is a workstation under each workstation. The garment pieces hung on the hanger are controlled by the system to be transported to the designated workstation for processing through the ring track. After processing, they enter the ring track from the exit mechanism of the workstation and are sent to the next workstation for processing in the next process.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent 2007100707826 discloses a "hanger exit mechanism in a garment workstation", in which a reset mechanism is provided between the end rail of the lifting arm of the exit mechanism and the exit rail. The rail-switching device at the junction of the end of the mechanism and the main rail can swing downward under the gravity of the hanger so that the exit guide head at its terminal fits with the main rail, so that the hanger can slide smoothly to the main rail. After the hanger exits the station, the rail-switching device is reset under the action of the torsion spring, so as not to hinder the smooth operation of the hanger on the main rail.

[0004] However, the exit guide rail of the exit mechanism needs to be reset by an elastic reset mechanism, which has a complex structure and is difficult to install. Secondly, after long-term use, the elastic part will suffer from elastic fatigue and cannot automatically recover, which affects its use. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In view of the defects of the prior art, an exit mechanism with simple structure and low cost is provided.

[0027] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the hanger exit mechanism of the hanging system includes an arc exit rail 1 and an exit swing head 2. The input end of the arc exit rail 1 is connected to the exit branch rail 3, and the output end of the arc exit rail 1 is connected to the exit swing head 2. The exit swing head can swing up and down around the connection part, and the output end of the exit swing head 2 is overlapped on the main rail 4.

[0028] The arc exit rail 1 includes a limit protrusion and a hanger roller running surface on both sides of the limit protrusion. The exit branch rail 3 and the main rail 4 have the same cross-sectional structure, both of which are provided with a limit protrusion 3.1 and a hanger roller running surface 3.2 on both sides of the limit protrusion. The cross section of the exit swing head 2 matches the cross section of the limit protrusion. Figure 8 As shown, the clothes hanger has a roller 14. When working, the roller 14 rides on the limiting protrusions of the main rail, the exit branch rail, and the exit swing head, and the bottom of the roller walks on the roller walking surface 3.2.

[0029] The input end of the arc exit rail 1 is provided with a slot matching the exit branch rail, and the end of the slot is provided with a screw hole. The exit branch rail 3 is inserted into the slot, and screws are passed through the screw holes to connect the exit branch rail 3 to the arc exit rail 1. Figure 3 As shown, the input end of the swing head 2 is provided with a plug-in part, the end face of the plug-in part is set as an arc surface, and the plug-in part is provided with a first hinge hole 2.1. The output end of the arc exit rail 1 is provided with a mounting part (generally set on the limiting protrusion of the arc exit rail 1), and the mounting part is provided with a groove for installing the plug-in part, and second hinge holes 1.1 are set on both sides of the groove. The installation method of the exit swing head is as follows: insert the plug-in part into the groove of the mounting part, and then use bolts to pass through the second hinge hole 1.1 and the first hinge hole 2.1. The exit swing head 2 can rotate around the bolts, and the output end of the exit swing head is overlapped on the main rail 4 under the action of gravity. As shown Figure 3 , 4 As shown, limiting side edges 2.2 are arranged on both sides of the output end of the exit swing head 2, and the limiting side edges 2.2 are located on both sides of the limiting protrusion of the main rail 4. The limiting side edges limit the left and right swinging of the exit swing head, thereby increasing the stability of the clothes hanger exiting the station, and the clothes hanger roller can be smoothly transferred from the exit swing head to the main rail 4 without falling.

[0030] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, a curved vertical wall 1.2 extending along the curved exit rail 1 is provided on one side of the curved exit rail 1 away from the center of the circle, and a limiting plate 1.3 parallel to the running surface of the hanger roller of the curved exit rail 1 is provided on the upper end of the curved vertical wall 1.3, and the distance between the limiting plate 1.3 and the running surface of the hanger roller is sufficient for the hanger roller 14 to pass through. The limiting plate 1.3 can limit the hanger roller 14 running in an arc, so as to prevent the hanger roller 14 from tilting and derailing from the curved exit rail 1.

[0031] like Figure 7 , 9As shown, the hanging system provided by the utility model includes a rack running rail 5, a rack is installed on the rack running rail 5, and push rods are installed on the rack at intervals (not shown in the figure, the matching structure of the rack running rail, the rack, and the push rod can refer to CN2020205272287). A plurality of L-shaped hangers 6 are installed on one side of the rack running rail 5, and the lower end of the L-shaped hanger 6 is connected to the main rail 4. A plurality of workstations are arranged on both sides of the main rail 4, and the workstations include an entry branch rail and an exit branch rail, and a lifting mechanism is arranged between the entry branch rail and the exit branch rail. The output end of the exit branch rail 3 is connected to the exit mechanism, and the input end of the exit branch rail is connected to the lifting mechanism. The input end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the entry branch rail 10, and the input end of the entry branch rail 10 is provided with an entry mechanism 11 or an entry mechanism is arranged on the main rail opposite to the input end of the entry branch rail, and the hangers on the main rail 4 can enter the entry branch rail through the entry mechanism 11. The entry branch rail 10 is U-shaped, and the input end is higher than the output end. The entry branch rail can be connected by multiple sections of rails, thereby reducing the difficulty of producing the entry branch rail. The cross-section of the entry branch rail and the lifting rail is the same as that of the exit branch rail. The output end of the arc exit rail 1 of the exit mechanism is also connected to the rack running rail 5 through a connecting plate 7, thereby supporting the output end of the arc exit rail 1 to make it more stable. Figure 7 As shown, the lifting mechanism is a lifting rail 8 and a driving mechanism 9 arranged at the lifting rail. The driving mechanism 9 can adopt a driving chain, and a lever is arranged on the driving chain. The lifting mechanism can also adopt a lifting chain (such as the chain lifting device disclosed in CN202010767041.9). The structure of the lifting rail and the inbound branch rail is the same as that of the outbound branch rail.

[0032] The entry branch rail and the exit branch rail are installed on the column through the C-shaped bracket 12. A limit bar 13 is arranged above the entry branch rail. The limit bar 13 limits the hanger on the entry branch rail to prevent derailment. The utility model sets a limit bar installation groove on the C-shaped bracket 12, installs the limit bar 13 in the limit bar installation groove and fixes it with screws.

[0033] After the cut pieces on the hanger at the output end of the entry branch rail are sewn by workers, the drive mechanism 9 pushes the hanger along the lifting rail 8 to the exit branch rail 3. A release mechanism is set at the exit branch rail 3. If the exit conditions are met, the release mechanism releases a hanger to slide down the arc exit rail 1 and the exit swing head 2 to the main rail 4, and then the push rod pushes the hanger forward. When the hanger on the main rail encounters the exit swing head 2, the hanger will push the exit swing head away to lift it up. After the hanger passes over the swing head, the swing head falls down by gravity and overlaps the main rail.

[0034] The clothes hanger described in the utility model includes both clothes hangers with rollers and various types of carriers with rollers commonly used in the hanging system industry, such as hanging baskets with rollers.
