A hair planting apparatus includes a mounting portion for mounting a base material, and including a work opening for planting, a hair planting unit for binding hair for planting to the material in the work opening, a transport mechanism for positioning the hair planting unit relative to each mesh hole of the material mounted on the mounting portion, an imaging unit for capturing images of a plurality of mesh holes of the material mounted on the mounting portion, a tilt detection unit for obtaining, from the image captured by the imaging unit, an alignment direction of the mesh holes of the material, and a correction mechanism for correcting the orientation of the material on the mounting portion according to a tilt angle of the alignment direction of the mesh holes of the material with respect to a predetermined direction.

Hair planting apparatus

A hair feeding device configured to perform a feeding operation for pulling out flocking hairs one by one from a bundle of flocking hairs, the device includes a feeder configured to hold the bundle of flocking hairs and separates hair ends of a plurality of the flocking hairs in a direction different from that of the bundle, a detector configured to detect three-dimensional positions of the separated hair ends of the plurality of flocking hairs, a head for capturing the hair ends of the flocking hairs, a conveyance mechanism configured to convey the head to any three-dimensional position, and a control device that controls the conveyance mechanism so that the head captures the hair ends of the flocking hairs at three-dimensional positions of the hair ends of one flocking hair among the plurality of hairs detected by the detector.

Hair feeding device

In a hair feeding device configured to perform a feeding operation for pulling out flocking hairs one by one from a bundle of flocking hairs, the device includes: a feeder configured to hold the bundle of flocking hairs and separates hair ends of a plurality of the flocking hairs in a direction different from that of the bundle; a head configured to hold the hair ends of the flocking hairs; a conveyance mechanism configured to convey the head; and a control device configured to perform an operation control of the feeding operation, and the feeder includes a bundle holder configured to hold the bundle of flocking hairs, and a separator configured to separate a plurality of the flocking hairs from the bundle of flocking hairs held by the bundle holder in a state where the hair ends are oriented in a direction different from that of the bundle.

In a hair feeding device configured to perform a feeding operation for pulling out flocking hairs one by one from a bundle of flocking hairs, the device includes: a head for capturing hair ends of the flocking hairs; a conveyance mechanism configured to convey the head; and a control device that controls an operation control of the feeding operation, in which the head includes a nozzle that suctions the hair ends of the flocking hairs, a gripping member that grips the flocking hair suctioned by the nozzle, and an actuator that gives a gripping pressure to the gripping member.
