[0021] Wherein, the monitoring range of camera 107 installed on the lower surface of first L-shaped seat 106 covers the area of lower knife plate 108 of cutting table 1, when the cloth is cut, under the continuous supply of biting mechanism 3, it is transported to cutting mechanism 2 through cutting table 1, when the length of cloth transported into cutting mechanism 2 reaches the preset threshold, camera 107 captures the state in real time and sends trigger signal to control system, after receiving the signal, control system drives cutting mechanism 2 to slide to lower knife plate 108, realizes the cutting action of cloth between them.

[0022] Through the design of the cutting table 1, the n-shaped frame 101, the guide plate 102, the camera 107, the lower knife plate 108, the cutting mechanism 2, the biting mechanism 3 and the cutting mechanism 4, in use, the staff can place the cloth roll on the Y-shaped frame 103, then the cloth can be threaded between the biting mechanism 3 to the surface of the cutting table 1, then the staff can adjust the biting mechanism 3 to fully press at the upper and lower surfaces of the cloth and start, after the biting mechanism 3 starts, the transmission roller continuously pulls out the cloth from the roll and smoothly delivers it to the surface of the cutting table 1, in the process, the two groups of cameras 107 work continuously, not only collecting images on both sides of the cloth in real time, accurately identifying the boundary and calculating the center axis through edge detection algorithm, but also closely tracking the texture, marker line and other feature points on the cloth, once the cloth is detected to deviate or rotate during delivery, the data is immediately fed back to the control system, the control system generates left-right symmetric cutting tracks according to the preset garment template, such as the neckline, sleeve opening contour, along the center axis, and sends instructions to the cutting mechanism 4, after the left-right symmetric cutting ends of the cutting mechanism 4 receive the instructions, according to the real-time data feedback by the camera 107, the cutting action is executed synchronously, the cloth is accurately cut, and the left-right symmetric initial garment shape is cut out, at the same time, the camera 107 on the lower surface of the first L-shaped seat 106 monitors the situation at the cutting table 1 lower knife plate 108 at all times, as the biting mechanism 3 continuously supplies the cloth, the cut cloth is continuously delivered to the cutting mechanism 2, when the length of the cloth delivered into the cutting mechanism 2 reaches the preset threshold, the camera 107 quickly captures this state and sends a trigger signal to the control system, the control system immediately starts the cutting mechanism 2, makes it slide to the lower knife plate 108 along the guide rail 109, completes the cutting action of the cloth, realizes the accurate cutting of the cloth, and this "delivery-cutting-segmentation" integrated mode breaks the traditional cutting "motion-stationary" state, through dynamic visual positioning, real-time trajectory compensation and multi-axis collaborative control, the cutting is transformed from "independent process" to "flowing process node", which makes the cloth delivery, cutting and cutting whole process automatic operation, reduces manual intervention.

[0023] As Figures 4-6As shown, the cutting mechanism 2 comprises a hydraulic rod 201 rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the n-shaped frame 101, the piston rod of the hydraulic rod 201 is rotatably connected to a first connecting arm 202, the middle section of the first connecting arm 202 is rotatably mounted to the inner side wall of the n-shaped frame 101 through a hinge shaft, forming a lever fulcrum structure; the other end of the first connecting arm 202 is rotatably connected to a second connecting arm 204 through a joint bearing, the other end of the second connecting arm 204 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of a mounting plate 205; the mounting plate 205 is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the four sets of guide rail rods 109 through a linear bearing, forming a linear sliding pair; the lower surface of the mounting plate 205 is fixedly mounted with an upper blade plate 206, the cutting edge plane of the upper blade plate 206 is in the same horizontal shearing plane as the cutting edge plane of the lower blade plate 108.

[0024] Wherein, the hinge joint between the first connecting arm 202 and the second connecting arm 204 is sleeved with a horizontal plate 203, when the hydraulic rod 201 performs extension and retraction movement, the first connecting arm 202 is driven to perform rotary movement around the hinge fulcrum between the middle section and the n-shaped frame 101, the other end of the first connecting arm 202 drives the second connecting arm 204 to move through the hinge pair, the other end of the second connecting arm 204 drives the mounting plate 205 to perform linear reciprocating sliding along the four sets of guide rail rods 109 through the rotary pair, so that the upper blade plate 206 fixed to the lower surface of the mounting plate 205 forms shearing cooperation with the lower blade plate 108, realizing cloth cutting function.

At this time, the first connecting arm 202 converts the linear motion of the hydraulic rod 201 into rotary motion, and in this process, the transversal plate 203 rotatingly installed between the first connecting arm 202 and the second connecting arm 204 plays a stable supporting role, ensuring that the force transmission is stable and has no deviation. The rotation of the first connecting arm 202 can drive the second connecting arm 204 to move, and the second connecting arm 204 drives the mounting plate 205 to slide reciprocatingly along the four groups of guide rail rods 109.

Both ends of the forward and reverse bidirectional screw rod 404 are respectively provided with external threads with opposite rotation directions, and both ends of the forward and reverse bidirectional screw rod 404 are respectively threadedly connected with a fastening sleeve 405, and a YAG laser 406 is fixedly installed in the fastening sleeve 405.

[0031] Among them, a second motor 403 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting tube 402, and the output shaft of the second motor 403 rotates and penetrates into the connecting tube 402 and is fixedly connected to the end of the forward and reverse bidirectional screw rod 404. The two sets of fastening sleeves 405 are at equal distances from the center of the forward and reverse bidirectional screw rod 404. When the second motor 403 drives the forward and reverse bidirectional screw rod 404 to rotate, the two sets of YAG lasers 406 move synchronously toward or away from each other along the forward and reverse bidirectional screw rod 404, realizing a symmetrical cutting function.

[0032] Through the design of the linear module 401, the connecting tube 402, the second motor 403, the forward and reverse bidirectional screw rod 404, the fastening sleeve 405 and the YAG laser 406, when the cloth is transported to the surface of the cutting table 1 under the drive of the first roller column 303 and the second roller column 304, it will be within the monitoring range of the camera 107 and the cloth image will be collected in real time and the symmetrical cutting trajectory will be calculated, so that the control system can send instructions to the linear module 401 and the second motor 403 accordingly. The second motor 403 can drive the forward and reverse bidirectional screw rod 404 to rotate. Since the thread directions at both ends of the screw rod are opposite and the fastening sleeve 405 is equidistant from the center, when the screw rod rotates, it will drive the fastening sleeves 405 on both sides to move synchronously toward the center or both ends, so that the YAG laser 406 fixed in the fastening sleeve 405 can be quickly adjusted to the target cutting width. At the same time, the moving block of the linear module 401 moves along the guide The rail slides at high speed, driving the connecting tube 402 and the YAG laser 406 to move horizontally as a whole. The YAG laser 406 emits a high-energy laser beam during movement, instantly vaporizing the fabric fibers and forming a cutting seam with a width of only 0.1mm. In the cutting process, the lead screw transmission accuracy reaches ±0.05mm, and combined with the positioning accuracy of the linear module 401 ±0.02mm, the symmetrical cutting error of the two groups of YAG lasers 406 is ≤0.1mm. The lead screw speed can be adjusted by the frequency conversion of the second motor 403 to achieve smooth cutting of different curvature contours, such as the hem curve. After cutting is completed, the linear module 401 can drive the YAG laser 406 to reset quickly, and the forward and reverse bidirectional lead screw 404 rotates in the opposite direction to open the YAG laser 406 to the initial spacing, waiting for the next cutting instruction. The entire process is completed automatically, achieving high-precision and high-efficiency fabric forming and cutting.

[0033] According to the above technical solution, the working steps of this solution are summarized and sorted out: when in use, the staff can place the cloth roll on the Y-shaped frame 103, and then the cloth can be passed through between the first roller column 303 and the second roller column 304 and pulled to the surface of the conveyor belt 309 installed in the cutting table 1, and then the electric push rod 301 can be started to push the piston rod to push the guide plate 302 to move vertically downward along the inner track of the guide plate 102, so that the guide plate 302 can drive the first roller column 303 to approach the second roller column 304 and form a precise pressure on the cloth between them. The first motor 305 drives the second roller 304 to rotate clockwise to continuously pull the cloth out of the roll, and the first roller 303 touching the upper surface of the cloth can be driven to rotate together. At the same time, the first transmission disc 306 at the other end of the second roller 304 drives the second transmission disc 307 to rotate together through the synchronous belt 308, and then the second transmission disc 307 drives the transmission column 310 to synchronously drive the conveyor belt 309 to convey the cloth, so that it can ensure that the cloth is smoothly transferred to the surface of the cutting table 1 while being bitten. When the surface is conveyed to the cutting table 1, that is, the surface of the conveyor belt 309, it will be within the monitoring range of the camera 107 and the fabric image will be collected in real time and the symmetrical cutting trajectory will be calculated, so that the control system can send instructions to the linear module 401 and the second motor 403 accordingly. The second motor 403 can drive the positive and negative bidirectional screw rod 404 to rotate. Since the threads at both ends of the screw rod have opposite directions and the distance between the fastening sleeve 405 and the center part is equal, when the screw rod rotates, it will drive the fastening sleeves 405 on both sides to move synchronously toward the center or both ends, so that the fastening sleeves 405 fixed in the fastening sleeve 405 can move synchronously. The YAG laser 406 quickly adjusts to the target cutting width. Simultaneously, the moving block of the linear module 401 slides at high speed along the guide rail, driving the connecting cylinder 402 and the YAG laser 406 to translate as a whole. During this movement, the YAG laser 406 emits a high-energy laser beam, instantly vaporizing the fabric fibers and creating a cutting seam just 0.1mm wide. During the cutting process, the lead screw transmission accuracy reaches ±0.05mm, which, combined with the linear module 401's ±0.02mm positioning accuracy, ensures that the symmetrical cutting error of the two YAG lasers 406 is ≤0.1mm, and the screw speed can be adjusted by the second motor 403 frequency conversion to achieve smooth cutting of different curvature contours, such as the hem arc. After the cutting is completed, the linear module 401 can drive the YAG laser 406 to quickly reset, and the positive and negative bidirectional screw 404 rotates in the opposite direction to open the YAG laser 406 to the initial spacing, waiting for the next cutting instruction, and then the cut fabric can be continuously transported, and then the cut fabric can be transported into the n-shaped frame 101 and between the lower knife plate 108 and the upper knife plate 206. During the process, the camera 107 on the lower surface of the first L-shaped seat 106 will continuously monitor the length of the cloth being conveyed into the N-shaped frame 101. When the length of the cloth conveyed reaches a preset threshold, the control system will immediately send a start command to the hydraulic rod 201, allowing the hydraulic rod 201 to begin to extend and retract. The piston rod drives the first connecting arm 202 to rotate around the rotating fulcrum in the N-shaped frame 101. At this time, the first connecting arm 202 converts the linear motion of the hydraulic rod 201 into a rotational motion. In this process, the rotating shaft mounted on the first connecting arm 202 The horizontal plate 203 between the first connecting arm 202 and the second connecting arm 204 plays a role of stable support, ensuring that the force transmission is smooth and without deviation. The rotation of the first connecting arm 202 can drive the second connecting arm 204 to move, and the second connecting arm 204 then drives the mounting plate 205 to slide back and forth along the four sets of guide rails 109. During the sliding process of the mounting plate 205, the pressing plate 207 on its lower surface will first contact the fabric. At this time, the guide column 208 slides along the guide hole on the upper surface of the mounting plate 205 to ensure that the pressing plate 207 is pressed vertically downward, and at the same time, the spring 209 is compressed to generate elasticity. The force exerted by the hydraulic rod 201 tightly presses the fabric against the lower blade 108, preventing displacement or wrinkles during cutting. As the mounting plate 205 continues to slide downward, the upper blade 206 fixed to its lower surface cooperates with the lower blade 108, and the hydraulic rod 201 transmits pressure to quickly and neatly cut the fabric. After cutting, the hydraulic rod 201 retracts and retracts, driving the components to reset. The holding plate 207 is lifted by the elastic restoring force of the spring 209, releasing the fabric and waiting for the next cutting instruction, thus completing the entire fabric cutting process.

[0034] In summary: This machine vision-based intelligent cutting system breaks the "movement-stillness" separation in traditional cutting through the integrated "conveying-cutting-segmentation" mode. Through dynamic visual positioning, real-time trajectory compensation and multi-axis collaborative control, it transforms cutting from an "independent process" into a "process node in flow", achieving efficient production and stable equipment operation.
