[0015] From the above description of the utility model, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] Technical solution 1 provides an intelligent sewing device. When working, a first robot grabs and moves a first piece of cloth from a first loading component to a first detection plane, and then grabs and moves a second piece of cloth from a second loading component to a second detection plane. After the first visual detector locates the outer contours of the first and second pieces of cloth, the positioning information of the two is obtained, and then a first moving trajectory for controlling the movement of the first robot is generated based on the positioning information. Based on the first moving trajectory, the first robot grabs and moves the first piece of cloth to the second detection plane, and stacks it on the second piece of cloth. After that, the first sewing component sews the stacked first and second pieces of cloth into one to form a first sheet.

[0017] In the prior art, the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth are usually stacked together manually and then sewn; when manual operation is adopted, the stacking and sewing of the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth can be operated by human eye recognition, but when this process is converted into an automated assembly line operation, how to accurately stack the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth together becomes a problem that needs to be solved. This is because when the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth are loaded into the first loading component, there may be deviations in position and posture from the preset ones. If a robot is simply used to move the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth in sequence, it is obviously difficult to stack the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth together in the preset manner, which may easily lead to material scrapping during sewing.

[0018] The intelligent sewing equipment provided by the technical solution 1 is provided with two detection planes. When moving the cloth pieces, the first cloth piece and the second cloth piece are moved to the two detection planes respectively, and then the outer contour of the cloth pieces is positioned by the visual detector, so that the position and posture information of the two cloth pieces at this time can be obtained. According to the positioning information, the moving trajectory can be generated in real time. Then, the manipulator moves the first cloth piece according to the moving trajectory, and the first cloth piece can be accurately stacked together in a preset manner, thereby solving the problem of stacking errors that may exist when the first cloth piece and the second cloth piece are stacked. Therefore, the intelligent sewing equipment not only reduces labor costs and improves sewing efficiency, but also solves the problem of cloth piece stacking.

[0019] In technical solution two, a second loading assembly, a second carrier, a second manipulator, a second visual detector and a second sewing assembly are provided. According to the same principle as technical solution one, the third piece of cloth is sewn to the first sheet to meet the sewing requirements of different materials.

[0020] In the technical solution three, a material receiving assembly is provided, and the sewn second sheet is stored in a material receiving frame of the material receiving assembly.

[0021] In technical solution four, a sewing machine and a sewing robot are provided in the first sewing assembly and the second sewing assembly. The sewing machine is used for sewing, and the sewing robot is used for transferring the cloth pieces and driving the cloth pieces to move along a predetermined trajectory during the sewing process, so that the cloth pieces can be sewn together in a predetermined manner.

[0022] In technical solution five, the sewing robot is also used to transfer the sewn first sheet and the second sheet, thereby forming an assembly line operation without the need for manual assistance.

[0023] In technical solution six, a loading assembly is provided with a loading drive and a loading plate. The loading drive can drive the loading plate to move up and down. When there are fewer and fewer cloth pieces on the loading plate, the loading plate can gradually move upward to facilitate the robot to grab the cloth pieces. At the same time, a limiting protrusion is provided on the loading plate. The limiting protrusion can clamp the cloth piece to the column so that the cloth piece can maintain the predetermined position and posture as much as possible.

[0024] In technical solution seven, the detection plane is formed by the upper surface of the transparent sheet, and the light source under the transparent sheet can illuminate the cloth piece on the detection plane, making it easier for the detector to locate the outer contour of the cloth piece.

[0025] In technical solution eight, the material receiving assembly includes a stacking device, through which the second sheets can be stacked together and stored using a material receiving frame.

[0026] In technical solution nine, the material collecting assembly includes a clamping device, which can prevent the second sheet from being driven by the supporting member during the stacking process.

[0027] In technical solution ten, the material receiving component is also provided with a conveyor line, which drives the material receiving frame to move to a position suitable for receiving the second sheet. After the material receiving frame has received the second sheet, it can be sent away through the conveyor line, and a new material receiving frame can be moved again to a position suitable for receiving the second sheet.

[0041] The embodiment of the utility model provides an intelligent sewing device, which is used for sewing a first cloth piece and a second cloth piece that are stacked together.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 From left to right, the intelligent sewing equipment mainly includes a first feeding component 1, a first carrier 2, a first sewing component 7, a second sewing component 12 and a receiving component 13, wherein a first manipulator 5 is provided on the first carrier 2, a first visual detector 6 is provided on the first sewing component 7, a second manipulator 10 is provided on the second carrier 9, a second visual detector 11 is provided on the second sewing component 12, and a second feeding component 8 is also provided on the rear side of the first sewing component 7.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the intelligent sewing equipment, the first feeding component 1 is used to supply the first cloth piece and the second cloth piece; the upper surface of the first carrier 2 is provided with a first detection plane 3 and a second detection plane 4; the first manipulator 5 is used to move the first cloth piece and the second cloth piece to the first detection plane 3 and the second detection plane 4 respectively; the detection window of the first visual detector 6 is located above the first carrier 2, and is configured to be suitable for positioning the outer contour of the cloth pieces located on the first detection plane 3 and the second detection plane 4 by visual detection, and the positioning information obtained by it is configured to generate a first moving trajectory for controlling the first manipulator 5; the first manipulator 5 moves the first cloth piece located on the first detection plane 3 according to the first moving trajectory, and makes the first cloth piece overlap on the second cloth piece in a predetermined manner; the first sewing component 7 is located on the first side of the first carrier 2 in the left-right direction, and is used to sew the overlapped first cloth piece and the second cloth piece into one piece to form a first sheet.

[0044] At the same time, refer to Figure 1, the second feeding assembly 8 is used to supply the third piece of cloth; the second carrier 9 is located on the first side of the first sewing assembly 7 in the left-right direction, and the upper surface thereof is provided with a third detection plane and a fourth detection plane, and the fourth detection plane is suitable for carrying the first sheet; the second manipulator 10 is used to move the third piece of cloth to the third detection plane; the detection window of the second visual detector 11 is located above the second carrier 9, and is configured to be suitable for positioning the outer contour of the cloth pieces located on the third detection plane and the fourth detection plane by visual detection, and the positioning information obtained by it is configured to generate a second movement trajectory for controlling the second manipulator 10; the second manipulator 10 moves the third piece of cloth located on the third detection plane according to the second movement trajectory, and makes the third piece of cloth overlap on the first sheet located on the fourth detection plane in a predetermined manner; the second sewing assembly 12 is located on the first side of the second carrier 9 in the left-right direction, and is used to sew the third piece of cloth and the first sheet into one, so as to form a second sheet 32.

[0045] Among them, the first manipulator 5 and the second manipulator 10 adopt conventional multi-axis manipulators, and the free ends thereof are provided with grasping modules, and the grasping modules are conventional suction cup grasping mechanisms or clamping claw grasping mechanisms. Driven by the multi-axis manipulator, the grasping modules can move arbitrarily within a predetermined spatial range. It should be understood that the manipulator and the grasping module are conventional devices in the field, and those skilled in the art can select the corresponding manipulator and grasping module according to actual needs, and the specific implementation method thereof will not be described in detail here.

[0046] The first visual detector 6 and the second visual detector 11 are essentially a complete set of visual detection solutions, which are also conventional devices in the art. They can obtain images of preset positions through cameras, analyze images, and obtain corresponding information. The first visual detector 6 and the second visual detector 11 in this embodiment can obtain images of cloth pieces through cameras, extract the outer contour of cloth pieces, and locate the outer contour of cloth pieces. The positioning here refers to the positioning of cloth pieces relative to a fixed position, and this fixed position is the reference position for moving cloth pieces. After the outer contour of the cloth pieces is located, the position and posture of the cloth pieces are determined, so that the cloth pieces can be moved conveniently. Among them, the detection range of the first visual detector 6 includes the first detection plane 3 and the second detection plane 4, and the detection range of the second visual detector 11 includes the third detection plane and the fourth detection plane. Those skilled in the art can select corresponding visual detectors according to actual needs, but need to be able to locate the outer contour of the cloth pieces so as to simultaneously determine the posture and position of the cloth pieces. Among them, the position mentioned here is evaluated based on a fixed position as a reference, and the posture is also evaluated based on a fixed position as a reference, and the posture can reflect the state of the cloth pieces with shape characteristics relative to the fixed position. In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1, a visual detector includes a camera 35; in other embodiments, reference Figure 5 A visual detector may include two cameras 35, and the two cameras 35 respectively detect two detection planes corresponding to the visual detector.

[0047] During operation, the first manipulator 5 grabs and moves the first piece of cloth from the first loading component 1 to the first detection plane 3, and then grabs and moves the second piece of cloth from the second loading component 8 to the second detection plane 4. After the first visual detector 6 locates the outer contours of the first and second pieces of cloth, the positioning information of the two is obtained, and then a first moving trajectory for controlling the movement of the first manipulator 5 is generated according to the positioning information. Based on the first moving trajectory, the first manipulator 5 grabs and moves the first piece of cloth to the second detection plane 4, and stacks it on the second piece of cloth. After that, the first sewing component 7 sews the stacked first and second pieces of cloth into one, forming a first sheet. Similarly, after the sewing of the first piece of cloth is completed, it is sent to the fourth inspection plane. The second robot 10 grabs the third piece of cloth from the second loading component 8 and moves it to the third inspection plane. After the second visual detector 11 locates the outer contour of the first sheet and the third piece of cloth, the positioning information of the third piece of cloth and the first sheet is obtained, and then a second movement trajectory for controlling the movement of the second robot 10 is generated according to the positioning information. Based on the second movement trajectory, the second robot 10 grabs the third piece of cloth and moves it to the fourth inspection plane, and stacks it on the first sheet. After that, the second sewing component 12 sews the stacked third piece of cloth and the first sheet together to form a second sheet 32.

[0048] In the prior art, the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth are usually stacked together manually and then sewn; when manual operation is adopted, the stacking and sewing of the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth can be operated by human eye recognition, but when this process is converted into an automated assembly line operation, how to accurately stack the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth together becomes a problem that needs to be solved. This is because when the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth are fed into the first feeding component 1, there may be deviations in position and posture from the preset ones. If a robot is simply used to move the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth in sequence, it is obviously difficult to stack the first piece of cloth and the second piece of cloth together in the preset manner, which may easily lead to material scrapping during sewing. The intelligent sewing equipment provided by the technical solution 1 is provided with two detection planes. When moving the cloth pieces, the first cloth piece and the second cloth piece are moved to the two detection planes respectively, and then the outer contour of the cloth pieces is positioned by the visual detector, so that the position and posture information of the two cloth pieces at this time can be obtained. According to the positioning information, the moving trajectory can be generated in real time. Then, the manipulator moves the first cloth piece according to the moving trajectory, and the first cloth piece can be accurately stacked together in a preset manner, thereby solving the problem of stacking errors that may exist when the first cloth piece and the second cloth piece are stacked. Therefore, the intelligent sewing equipment not only reduces labor costs and improves sewing efficiency, but also solves the problem of cloth piece stacking.

[0049] It should be understood that the above embodiment provides an intelligent sewing device for sewing three pieces of cloth, but in other embodiments, according to the same technical idea, an intelligent sewing device for sewing two pieces of cloth, four pieces of cloth or even more pieces of cloth can be formed. All that needs to be done is to add a feeding component, a manipulator, a detector and a sewing component without the need for creative labor.

[0050] At the same time, for those skilled in the art, the manipulator needs to pre-set the moving trajectory, so generating the moving trajectory in real time based on the positioning information of the visual detector is a conventional technical means in this field. The utility model only proposes a method of how to apply it, and the specific procedures, algorithms, etc. can be designed by those skilled in the art.

[0051] Reference Figure 1, the first sewing assembly 7 and the second sewing assembly 12 both include a sewing machine 15 and a sewing robot 16; the sewing machine 15 is provided with a sewing plane 31 for placing cloth pieces, and the sewing plane 31 is flush with the adjacent second detection plane 4 or fourth detection plane; the sewing robot 16 presses the cloth pieces and drives the cloth pieces to move from the second detection plane 4 and the fourth detection plane to the corresponding sewing plane 31, and drives the cloth pieces to move along a predetermined trajectory when the sewing machine 15 is working so that the cloth pieces are sewn together in a predetermined manner. The sewing robot 16 of the first sewing assembly 7 is configured to be suitable for moving the first sheet material from the sewing plane 31 on the sewing machine 15 of the first sewing assembly 7 to the fourth detection plane; the sewing robot 16 of the second sewing assembly 12 is configured to be suitable for moving the second sheet material 32 from the sewing plane 31 on the sewing machine 15 of the second sewing assembly 12 to the material receiving assembly 13.

[0052] Among them, the sewing machine 15 can be a computer sewing machine, a roller sewing machine, an electronic flat sewing machine, a patchwork sewing machine, a four-needle six-thread machine, an overlocking machine, etc., and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs. By selecting different sewing machines 15, the intelligent sewing equipment can be applied to sewing decorative lines, edge pressing lines, multi-piece sewing, overlocking, four-needle six-thread sewing, etc.

[0053] The sewing manipulator 16 may not adopt a multi-axis manipulator that can move freely in three-dimensional space, because the sewing manipulator 16 basically only needs to move on the horizontal plane, but the sewing manipulator 16 should be provided with an operating end that can be extended and retracted up and down, and this operating end can press or loosen the cloth piece by moving up and down. As an embodiment, the sewing manipulator 16 can adopt a scara robot. It should be noted that in order to move the cloth piece by the sewing manipulator 16, the second detection plane 4 and the sewing plane 31 of the sewing machine 15 of the first sewing component 7 should be flush, and the fourth detection plane also needs to be flush with the sewing plane 31 of the two sewing machines 15 of the first sewing component 7 and the second sewing component 12, so that the first sheet of material can be moved to the fourth detection plane by the sewing manipulator 16 of the first sewing component 7, and the stacked first sheet of material and the third cloth piece can be moved to the sewing plane 31 by the sewing manipulator 16 of the second sewing component 12.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 The first loading assembly 1 is provided with a first loading plate 18 and a second loading plate 19 driven by a loading driving member 17 to move in the up and down directions, and the second loading assembly 8 is provided with a third loading plate 20 driven by a loading driving member 17 to move in the up and down directions; the first loading plate 18, the second loading plate 19, and the third loading plate 20 are all penetrated by a plurality of limit bars arranged in a predetermined manner, and the limit bars are used to fix the cloth pieces in a predetermined position and posture.

[0055] Specifically, a feeding drive 17 and a feeding plate are provided in the feeding assembly, and a shell is also provided. An opening 34 is provided in the shell corresponding to the position of the feeding plate. The output end of the feeding drive 17 is connected to the feeding plate, and the output end can slide up and down and stop under the action of the driving motor and the transmission mechanism. The feeding plate is used to carry the cloth piece. At the same time, a plurality of limit stop rods arranged in a predetermined manner are provided in the feeding assembly. These limit stop rods extend in the up and down directions, and their bottom ends are fixed to the bottom of the shell of the feeding assembly, and their top ends extend to the top of the shell of the feeding shell. The limit stop rods pass through the feeding plate. When the feeding plate moves up and down, the limit stop rods will not interfere with the movement of the feeding plate. At the same time, a plurality of limit stop rods cooperate with each other to define a range, and the cloth piece is fixed within the range, so that the cloth piece has a fixed position and posture as much as possible. During operation, the cloth pieces are stacked and placed on the loading plate according to the definition of the limit stop rod, and the loading plate is initially located below the shell of the loading assembly, at which time the number of cloth pieces is the largest. Then the robot takes away the top cloth piece, and the loading drive 17 drives the loading plate to move up a certain height, so that the top cloth piece is always maintained at a roughly fixed height position, so that the robot used to grab the cloth piece does not need to position the cloth piece at the position of the loading plate, which facilitates the robot to grab the cloth piece.

The pressing device 29 includes a pressing member 26 and a pressing driving member 27, and the pressing member 26 is driven by the pressing driving member 27 to move in the up-down direction, and when the carrier 22 moves from the first position to the second position, the pressing member 26 presses the second sheet 32 ​​located on the carrier 22, so that the second sheet 32 ​​maintains the original position. The receiving frame 14 moves to a position suitable for receiving the second sheet 32 ​​through the conveying line 30.

[0057] The bearing member 22 is a plate-shaped member, which can be driven by the bearing driving member 23 to move in the front-rear direction; the upper surface of the stacking member 24 forms a stacking surface 33, and the stacking member 24 can be driven by the stacking driving member 25 to move in the up-down direction; the pushing member and the pushing driving member are installed on the stacking member 24, and the pushing driving member can drive the pushing member to move in the left-right direction, and the pushing member moves on the stacking surface 33. It should be understood that the above-mentioned bearing driving member 23, the stacking driving member 25 and the pushing driving member can all adopt a structure similar to the material loading driving member 17, which will not be described in detail here.

[0058] The conveyor line 30 has a supporting track and a corresponding driving mechanism. The supporting track can carry a plurality of material receiving frames 14 and drive the material receiving frames 14 to move through the driving mechanism.

[0059] After the second sewing assembly 12 completes sewing to form the second sheet 32, the second sheet 32 ​​is brought onto the carrier 22. At this time, the carrier 22 is in the first position, that is, the carrier 22 is above the stacking piece 24. Then the clamping member 26 presses the second sheet 32, and the driving member 23 drives the carrier 22 to move from the first position to the second position. Under the action of the clamping member 26, the position of the second sheet 32 ​​remains unchanged. When the carrier 22 is completely moved to the second position, the second sheet 32 ​​is received by the stacking surface 33 of the stacking piece 24. The stacking member 24 is driven to move up and down by the stacking driving member 25. When the stacking surface 33 has not yet received the second sheet 32, the stacking member 24 moves to the top position against the supporting member 22 to ensure that the second sheet 32 ​​can be received smoothly. Then, when more and more second sheets 32 are piled up, the stacking member 24 moves down until the number of the piled second sheets 32 reaches a preset value. At this time, the driving member drives the pushing member to push the piled second sheets 32 away from the stacking surface 33, so that the piled second sheets 32 can enter the receiving frame 14. Figure 4 An opening 34 is provided on the side of the receiving frame 14. After the receiving frame 14 moves to a position suitable for receiving the second sheet 32 ​​through the conveyor line 30, the opening 34 of the receiving frame 14 faces the stacking member 24. The pushing member can move the stacked second sheet 32 ​​into the receiving frame 14 through the opening 34 on the side of the receiving frame 14 without destroying the stacking state of the second sheet 32.
