[0016] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0017] Therefore, this application provides a clothes hanger removal protection device, see below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the clothes hanger out-of-warehouse protection device provided in this application, omitting the clothes out-of-warehouse driving device; Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the clothes hanger outbound protection device provided in this application.

[0018] The garment hanger outgoing protection device provided in this embodiment includes a storage track 1 and a storage belt 2 for transporting garment hangers 7. The garment hanger 7 includes a hanger rod 7.1, the hook portion 7.1.1 of the hanger rod 7.1 is hung in the storage compartment hole of the storage belt 2, the connecting portion 7.1.2 of the hanger rod 7.1 is connected to the garment hanger body 7.2, the connecting portion 7.1.2 has a certain width, and a vertical portion 7.1.3 is provided on the connecting portion 7.1.2. The protection device includes: a garment outgoing switching device 3, which is provided at the garment outgoing port of the storage belt 2; a bracket 6, which is connected to the storage track 1; a garment outgoing rail 4, which is inclinedly provided on one side of the storage belt 2, and the garment outgoing rail 4 is fixedly connected to the bracket 6, and one end of the garment outgoing rail 4 is detachably connected to the garment outgoing switching device 3; a protective plate 8, which is connected to the bracket 6, and there is a garment passage gap 9 between the protective plate 8 and the garment outgoing rail 4, through which the hook portion 7.1.1 passes.

[0019] When hanger 7 is transferred from the garment switching transducer 3 to the garment exit track 4, hanger 7 will first rise before entering the garment exit track 4. Therefore, this application uses the garment passage gap 9 formed between the protective plate 8 and the garment exit track 4 to ensure that the hook part 7.1.1 of hanger 7 passes through precisely. The protective plate 8 can directly press down on the hook part 7.1.1, preventing hanger 7 from falling off the inclined garment exit track 4 after being raised, ensuring that the garment exit process of hanger 7 is uninterrupted and reducing additional operations such as sorting stagnation and secondary processing caused by falling. Secondly, the bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the garment storage track 1, and the garment exit track 4 and the protective plate 8 are firmly installed on the bracket 6, thereby preventing the protective device from shifting due to vibration or the pressure of hanger 7, and improving the stability of the protective device.

[0020] In addition, the garment dispensing rail 4 and the garment dispensing switching device 3 are connected in a separable manner. The connection structure between the bracket 6 and the garment storage rail 1 and the protective plate 8 is simple, which facilitates the assembly, disassembly and subsequent maintenance of the device. At the same time, the protective device achieves its protective function by adding a protective plate 8 and optimizing the connection method of the garment dispensing rail 4. It does not require any modification to the garment storage rail 1, storage belt 2 and hanger 7. It can be directly adapted to the existing hanger storage and outbound system, with strong adaptability and low modification cost.

[0021] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of the clothes rack exit guide and protective plate in the clothes rack exit protection device provided in the embodiments of this application; Figure 5 for Figure 4 The front view; Figure 6 for Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the clothes hanger being taken out of the warehouse. In some embodiments, the protective plate 8 includes a fixing part 8.1 and a first step 8.2. The fixing part 8.1 is connected to the bracket 6, the first step 8.2 is connected to the fixing part 8.1, and the first step 8.2 is disposed above the clothes exit rail 4, forming a clothes passage gap 9 between the first step 8.2 and the clothes exit rail 4.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first step 8.2 is connected to the fixing part 8.1, and the first step 8.2 protrudes above the garment exit rail 4. The height difference between the first step 8.2 and the fixing part 8.1 controls the size of the garment passage gap 9, allowing the hook part 7.1.1 to pass smoothly through the garment passage gap 9 while also being limited by the lower surface of the first step 8.2. In other words, the first step 8.2 only covers the area above the garment exit rail 4 corresponding to the hook part 7.1.1, without obstructing the movement space of the connecting part 7.1.2 and the vertical part 7.1.3. This ensures that when the hanger 7 slides obliquely along the garment exit rail 4, all structural parts can pass smoothly, achieving both anti-fall protection and avoiding problems such as jamming and scratching that affect conveying efficiency.

[0023] In actual use, the first step 8.2 can be connected to the fixing part 8.1 by bending or integral molding. The height and extension length of the first step 8.2 can be set according to the clothes hanger 7 and the clothes rail 4.

[0024] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 In some embodiments, a garment dispensing drive device 5 is provided on one side of the storage belt 2, including a chain 5.1 connected end to end. One side of the chain 5.1 is arranged along the garment dispensing switching device 3 and the garment dispensing rail 4. Multiple push rods 5.2 are spaced apart on the chain 5.1. The protective plate 8 includes a second step 8.3. One end of the second step 8.3 is connected to the first step 8.2, and the other end is connected to the garment dispensing drive device 5.

[0025] The chain 5.1 of the garment dispensing drive device 5 is arranged along the garment dispensing switching device 3 and the garment dispensing rail 4, and the push rods 5.2 are spaced apart, which can actively push the hanger 7 to move along the garment dispensing rail 4. On this basis, one end of the second step 8.3 is connected to the first step 8.2, and the other end is connected to the garment dispensing drive device 5. Both ends of the second step 8.3 are fixed at the same time, which effectively disperses the force on the protective plate 8 under the pressure of the hanger 7 and the vibration of the garment dispensing drive device 5, so as to prevent the protective plate 8 from shifting or deforming, and ensure that the size of the garment passage gap 9 is stable for a long time and the protective effect does not decrease. At the same time, the fixing part 8.1, the second step 8.3 and the first step 8.2 can be processed by bending or integral molding process to extend the service life of the protective plate 8.

[0026] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 3 for Figure 1 A top view. In some embodiments, the garment rail 4 has a bend 4.1, and along the height direction, the orthographic projection of the first step 8.2 covers the bend 4.1.

[0027] During the outgoing process, when the hanger 7 slides along the inclined outgoing rail 4 to the bend 4.1, centrifugal force will be generated due to the change of direction, and the contact point between the hook part 7.1.1 and the outgoing rail 4 will shift, which can easily cause the hook part 7.1.1 to rise upward and detach from the support surface of the outgoing rail 4, thus causing it to fall.

[0028] Therefore, this application covers the bend 4.1 by projecting the first step 8.2 onto the ground, ensuring that the high-risk area is entirely within the vertical pressure range of the first step 8.2. Regardless of how the hanger 7 adjusts its posture when turning, the hook portion 7.1.1 is always constrained by the lower surface of the first step 8.2, thus improving the reliability of the protective plate 8.

[0029] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 In some embodiments, the garment exit track 4 has a bend 4.1; the hanger exit protection device includes a protective strip 10, which is disposed at the lower end of the bend 4.1, so that the garment exit track 4 and the protective strip 10 form a staggered third step 10.1. The third step 10.1 abuts against the vertical part 7.1.3, which helps the hanger 7 return to its normal posture (the hanger is perpendicular to the garment exit track). If the protective strip 10 is not provided, the hanger 7 exiting to the garment exit track 4 will still be restricted by the clothes on both sides of the original storage space, and will always maintain a perpendicular posture to the storage track 1, thus posing a risk of the hanger 7 falling off at the bend.

[0030] During the outbound process, the hanger 7 is constrained by the adjacent hangers 7 on both sides, and normally maintains a perpendicular posture to the conveyor line of the storage belt 2. However, when sliding to the bend 4.1, the hanger 7 becomes parallel to the outbound rail 4, making it easy for the hanger 7 to be squeezed out of the rail 4 by the hangers 7 on both sides and fall off. Therefore, in this embodiment, the protective strip 10 forms a third step 10.1 with the outbound rail 4, and the third step 10.1 abuts against the vertical part 7.1.3 to adjust the posture of the hanger 7. After correction, the hanger 7 remains perpendicular to the outbound rail 4, and its hook part 7.1.1 can always accurately fit the support surface of the outbound rail 4. The connecting part 7.1.2, the vertical part 7.1.3 do not interfere with the outbound rail 4 and the protective plate 8, ensuring that the hanger 7 slides smoothly along the preset trajectory at the bend 4.1 and is successfully outbound.

[0031] In this way, even when hangers 7 are being shipped out in large batches and adjacent hangers 7 are squeezing each other, it can be ensured that each hanger 7 always maintains a perpendicular posture to the garment delivery track 4, avoiding chain collisions and jamming caused by the orientation deviation of a single hanger 7.

[0032] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 In some embodiments, the end of the protective strip 10 near the garment opening is beveled.

[0033] Specifically, before the hanger 7 enters the bend 4.1 of the garment exit track 4 from the garment exit switching device 3, it is constrained by the adjacent hangers on both sides to maintain a perpendicular posture to the line. In this application, the end of the protective strip 10 near the garment exit opening is set as an inclined surface, and the vertical part 7.1.3 can smoothly slide into the abutment area of ​​the third step 10.1 along the inclined surface, further improving the directional correction effect of the hanger 7.

[0034] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 In some embodiments, the two ends of the garment exit track 4 are inclined surfaces.

[0035] After the hanger 7 is disengaged from the storage compartment hole of the storage belt 2 through the garment switching device 3, the inclined surfaces at both ends of the garment rail 4 allow the hook part 7.1.1 to slide smoothly into the support surface of the garment rail 4 along the inclined surfaces, further ensuring that the vertical part 7.1.3 of the hanger 7 slides into the abutment range of the third step 10.1 at the same time.

[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
