Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing and care equipment technology, and more specifically, to a clothes hanger dispenser and conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] In the laundry and garment care industry, hanger dispensers are essential equipment used to dispense hangers, and are widely used in a series of processes including washing, drying, and finishing clothes. In these processes, hangers typically need to be dispensed one by one in an orderly manner to coordinate with subsequent garment processing steps and ensure the smooth operation of the entire laundry and garment care process.

[0003] Current garment dispensers in the laundry industry typically use two forks that move up and down alternately to release and dispense hangers. However, this design has significant flaws, as follows:

[0004] Because the movement of the fork is difficult to control precisely, multiple hangers are often thrown out at once during actual use, making it impossible to guarantee that only a single hanger is thrown out each time. This not only leads to chaos in subsequent garment processing and affects work efficiency, but may also cause equipment malfunctions due to hanger accumulation, increasing maintenance costs and adversely impacting the normal production and operation of the laundry industry. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address this issue, the present invention provides a clothes hanger dispenser and conveyor line, thereby solving the technical problem in the prior art where dispensers for washing and care equipment cannot guarantee that a single clothes hanger is dispensed each time.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A clothes hanger dispenser, comprising:

[0008] Mounting plate;

[0009] A directional guide rail is inclinedly and fixedly mounted on the mounting plate;

[0010] A rotating plate is adapted to be mounted on the mounting plate, and the rotating plate has a receiving groove facing the directional guide rail. When the receiving groove is in the initial position, it forms a receiving space with the directional guide rail that can accommodate a single clothes hanger.

[0011] The drive cylinder is configured to have its kinetic energy output end connected to one end of the rotating plate;

[0012] A pad is fixedly disposed on one side of the directional guide rail, and the pad has an arc-shaped opening corresponding to the rotation trajectory of the rotating plate.

Any changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, shall also be considered within the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a hanger dispenser and a conveyor line including the hanger dispenser. The hanger dispenser includes a mounting plate 1, a protective cover 2, a fixing strip 3, a directional guide rail 4, a drive cylinder 5, a rotating plate 6, a rotating shaft 7, a pad strip 8, a proximity sensor 9, an adaptive lever 10, and a lever detection sensor 11. The mounting plate 1 serves as the overall mounting base and can cooperate with the protective cover 2 for protection. The directional guide rail 4 guides the hangers 12 downwards at an angle, and the drive cylinder 5 drives the rotating plate 6 to rotate, cooperating with the pad strip 8 to dispense the hangers 12 one by one. Furthermore, the proximity sensor 9, the adaptive lever 10, and the lever detection sensor 11 enable hanger detection and counting functions, effectively improving the overall functionality and practicality of the device. Specific settings are as follows:

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The mounting plate 1 serves as the foundation for the overall structure, providing mounting support points for all components of the dispenser. The mounting plate 1 can be made of, but is not limited to, metal sheet, to ensure sufficient strength to support the components. A fixing strip 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 1, and the directional guide rail 4 is fixedly connected to the fixing strip 3. The directional guide rail 4 is inclined, with an inclination angle ranging from 15° to 30°, so that the hanger 12 can automatically slide down the directional guide rail 4 based on its own weight without additional power drive, saving energy while ensuring that the hanger 12 can move continuously and stably towards the rotating plate 6, providing the prerequisite for subsequent individual dispensing.

[0048] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3The base of the drive cylinder 5 is connected to the mounting plate 1, and the rotating plate 6 is connected to the fixed strip plate 3 via the rotating shaft 7. One end of the rotating plate 6 is connected to the output end of the drive cylinder 5, so as to drive the rotating plate 6 to rotate around the rotating shaft 7 by outputting push and pull kinetic energy from the drive cylinder 5, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of the rotating plate 6 and providing power for throwing out the clothes hanger 12. Specifically, the drive cylinder 5 can be, but is not limited to, a standard cylinder of the SC series, with a working pressure range of 0.4 to 0.6 MPa, which can output sufficient push and pull kinetic energy. The material of the rotating shaft 7 can be, but is not limited to, stainless steel, which has good wear resistance and rust resistance.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 The rotating plate 6 has a receiving groove 61 on its upstream side facing the directional guide rail 4, and the receiving groove 61 forms a receiving space with the directional guide rail 4 when it is in the initial position, which can accommodate a single hanger 12. The size of the receiving groove 61 is designed according to the wire diameter of the hanger 12, and its width is slightly larger than the wire diameter of the hanger 12. This is to ensure that only a single hanger 12 can enter the receiving groove 61 at a time. Under the power of the driving cylinder 5, the rotating plate 6 can only carry away a single hanger 12 when it rotates. After that, the hanger is blocked by the outer edge of the groove of the rotating plate 6, thereby realizing the one-by-one throwing of hangers 12.

[0050] The pad strip 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the directional guide rail 4, and the pad strip 8 has an arc-shaped opening 81 corresponding to the rotation trajectory of the rotating plate 6. The arc-shaped opening 81 corresponds to the rotation trajectory position of the receiving groove 61 of the rotating plate 6. When the rotating plate 6 drives the hanger 12 to rotate, since the rotating plate 6 has an arc-shaped motion trajectory, the arc-shaped opening 81 provides clearance space for the movement of the rotating plate 6. At the same time, it cooperates with the rotating plate 6 to ensure that the hanger 12 in the receiving groove 61 is smoothly taken away, while the hanger 12 after it is blocked by the outer edge of the groove of the rotating plate 6, further ensuring that only a single hanger 12 is thrown out each time. The material of the pad strip 8 can be, but is not limited to, rubber or plastic, and has a certain degree of elasticity, which can reduce the collision and wear between the rotating plate 6 and the pad strip 8, and improve the overall functionality and practicality.

[0051] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2The proximity sensor 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1, and the detection end of the proximity sensor 9 is correspondingly positioned to the rotation trajectory of the receiving groove 61 in the rotating plate 6. The proximity sensor 9 may be, but is not limited to, an inductive proximity sensor, with a detection distance range of 1 to 5 mm and a response time of less than 1 ms. When a hanger 12 enters the receiving groove 61, the proximity sensor 9 detects whether there is a hanger 12 on the rotating plate 6, and sends a signal to the external electronic control module when the hanger 12 is detected. The external electronic control module then controls the drive cylinder 5 to perform a push-pull action.

[0052] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3 The adaptive lever 10 is connected to the mounting plate 1, and the bottom end of the adaptive lever 10 is located on the output end side of the arc-shaped opening 81 corresponding to the pad strip 8; the detection end of the lever detection sensor 11 is correspondingly provided to the top end of the adaptive lever 10; wherein, the adaptive lever 10 may be made of, but is not limited to, an elastic material, such as a spring steel sheet, which can deflect after being touched by the hanger 12, and automatically retract and / or self-correct after the hanger 12 passes.

[0053] The pick detection sensor 11 can be, but is not limited to, a photoelectric sensor, which has a fast response speed and high detection accuracy. When a single hanger 12 is thrown out and triggers the adaptive pick 10, the pick detection sensor 11 can generate a signal simultaneously to confirm whether the hanger 12 has been thrown out and to realize the counting function.

[0054] The mounting plate 1 is also fixedly provided with a protective cover 2, which can protect the internal components such as the drive cylinder 5 and the rotating plate 6 from dust and collision, ensuring the normal operation of the dispenser.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment, the clothes hanger dispenser further includes a quick-connect port. The circuits of the proximity sensor 9, the lever detection sensor 11, and the control solenoid valve of the drive cylinder 5 are pre-connected to the quick-connect port 13. The quick-connect port 13 can be, but is not limited to, a round industrial plug, which has waterproof and dustproof characteristics. During on-site installation, the electrical wires only need to be inserted into the gas source and the cable quick-connect port, without the need for complex wiring connections, which significantly improves the convenience and efficiency of installation.

[0056] When in use, the dispenser is installed at a certain slope. When multiple hangers 12 are put into the inlet end of the dispenser, the hangers 12 slide along the guide rail 4 under their own weight to the rotating plate 6 and are stopped by the rotating plate 6. At this time, the first hanger 12 enters the receiving groove 61 of the rotating plate 6. Since the receiving groove 61 can only accommodate one hanger 12, the subsequent hangers 12 are blocked by the outer edge of the receiving groove 61.

[0057] After the proximity sensor 9 detects that there is a hanger 12 in the receiving groove 61, it sends a signal to the external electronic control module to activate the drive cylinder 5. The drive cylinder 5 outputs push-pull kinetic energy to drive the rotating plate 6 to rotate around the rotating shaft 7. During the rotation, the hanger 12 in the receiving groove 61 of the rotating plate 6 is carried away from the directional guide rail 4 by the interaction between the rotating plate 6 and the arc-shaped opening 81 of the pad strip 8, realizing the throwing operation of one hanger 12. When the hanger 12 is thrown out, it will trigger the adaptive lever 10. The lever detection sensor 11 generates a signal to confirm that the hanger 12 has been thrown out and start counting. After that, the drive cylinder 5 drives the rotating plate 6 to return to the initial position, waiting for the next hanger 12 to enter the receiving groove 61. This process is repeated to realize the throwing out of the hangers 12 one by one.

[0058] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
