Definitions
- This invention relates to an automated press for removing water from wet washing by a ram which is pressed against the washing.
- the bellows have a shape corresponding to that of a washing container located in the lower part of the press.
- the bellows are constructed to act as the sealing diaphragm of a bell-shaped bellows support.
- a conveyor may be provided for conveying the heap of washing from the unloading end of a washing machine to a position under the ram of the press.
- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic longitudinal section through an automated press with a washing container in the lower part of the press;
- FIG. 2 is a cross-section of the press of FIG. 1 in the pressing position
- FIG. 3 shows part of FIG. 2 to an enlarged scale
- FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the press with the lower part of the press having a flat working surface.
- a support 2 Located in a housing 1 of an automated press is a support 2 carrying bellows 3, the cavity 4 of the bellows having within it a channel 5 with a socket 6 for connection to a pressure source.
- a hydraulic pressure source using water as the pressure medium is preferred in order that the washing will not be dirtied if the bellows 3 burst.
- the lower part 7 of the press contains a washing container 8 which comprises a relatively flat trough tapering towards the ground.
- a loading basket 9 filled with wet washing 10 is insertable into the trough 8.
- the bellows support 2 (FIGS. 2 and 3) has lateral bars 11 engageable by their ends in corresponding recesses in the lower part 7 of the press. The ends of these bars 11 and the corresponding parts of the lower part 7 of the press are designed to be locked together by appropriate locking members (not shown) engageable in holes 12.
- the washing container 8 (see FIG. 3) has grooves 13 on the inside walls and grooves 14 on the top of the base, a bore 15 being provided at the end of each groove 14 in the base, through which bore 15 the excess water passes at the time of pressing.
- the loading basket 9 has perforations l6 and is provided at two diametrically opposed edges with guide members in the form of roller 17, which run on rails 18 so that the basket 9 can be inserted and removed easily. Further guide members may be located outside the press in order that the baskets 9 may be conveyed to the unloading station of a washing machine having a batch type operation or to a subsequent drying drum. Thus the press may be incorporated in an automated washing line.
- the press In addition to devices (not shown) for the guidance and vertical displacement of the bellows support 2, the press also has a pneumatic drive for the afore-mentioned hydraulic pressure source, outlet pipes for the water removed from the washing and mechanisms for the manual or automatic control of the individual operations.
- FIG. 4 differs from that according to FIGS. 1 to 3 in that in place of the washing container 8, the lower part 7 of the press has a flat working surface extending beyond the press and covered by a perforated plate 19.
- a conveyor frame 20 is used for the washing 10 removed from a washing machine 21.
- the conveyor frame 20 has a flap 22. Outlets 23 are provided for the discharge of the excess water and a pump 24 is provided for returning the water to the washing machine.
- the conveyor frame 20 may be moved by a cable 26 and drive 25.
- the conveyor frame 20 also preshapes the heap of washing so that the latter corresponds approximately to the shape of the sealing diaphragm of the bellows 3.
- the bellows support 2 is connected to the ram 27 of a power cylinder 28.
- the hydraulic system which acts upon the bellows 3 comprises a water tank 29 with a feed pipe 30 and a float valve 31.
- the water tank is connected by pipes 32 and 33 to pumps 34 and 35, the pump 34 being connected by way of a valve 36 to a pipe 37 leading to the socket 6.
- One branch of the pipe 37 is connected by way of a valve 38 to the pipe 39 coming from the pump 35 and by way of a further valve 40 located behind this connecting point to the pipe 41 leading to the tank 29.
- Located between the pump 34 and valve 36 is a branch pipe 42 leading to a pressure switch 43 and a control pressure gauge 44.
- a further control pressure gauge 44 is connected in the pipe 37.
- the pump 35 is connected by way of corresponding pipes and the valves 45 and 46 to the pressure cahmbers of the cylinder 28, as well as to the water tank 29 by way of a return pipe 47.
- the press also has an unloading conveyor belt 48.
- the bellows 3 only need to adapt themselves solely to the slight differences in heigh of the washing. Furthermore, the bellows are constructed to correspond to the shape of the loading basket 9.
- FIG. 4 works in a similar manner, with the difference that the washing is unloaded into the conveyor frame 20 and brought under the bellows 3 by the cable line 26.
- the further operation takes place like that of the automated press according toFlGS. 1 to 3, and then, the flap 22 is opened and the frame 20 is brought to its point of departure.
- the pressure applied varies from to atmospheres according to the type of washing. In order to remove water from the wet washing in a satisfactory manner, the pressure must be maintained for approximately seconds to 2 minutes. Since, with the construction described, the bellows support has to be raised only approximately 30 to 50 cm, a relatively low overall height of the press results.
- the cavity 4 of the bellows 3 is depressurized, the bellows support raised and the washing conveyed to a drying drum.
- the washing is pushed onto the conveyor belt 48 by the conveyor frame 20 conveying the next batch.
- a fluid actuated ram reciprocal with respect to the perforated plate, the ram having a bell-shaped bellows support attached thereto on the end adjacent to the perforated plate, and a diaphragm forming a bellows and sealing the bell-shaped bellows support said bellows diaphragm and said bell-shaped bellows support being separated by a cavity for receiving a pressure medium, and
- a conveyor frame for receiving said wet washing and being, reciprocally moveable at right angles with respect to the ram for introducing and discharging said washing from said plate, said conveyor frame being substantially shaped to correspond to the shape of said diaphragm of said bellows, for pre-shaping the wet washing into a batch and conveying the batch of wet Washing between the perforated plate and the bellows diaphgram such that upon inflation of said bellows by said pressure medium water is forced from said washing through said perforated plate.
- the press of claim 1 further comprising a power cylinder for reciprocably moving the ram with respect to the perforated plate in response to controllably developed hydraulic pressure.
