Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of quilting machine tools, in particular to a stabilizing mechanism for a hopper. Background Art
[0002] A multi-needle quilting machine is a type of quilting machine primarily used to produce greenhouse insulation blankets. It uses an extra-large rotary hook to pick up the thread, eliminating thread skipping. It quilts faster, creating smooth, beautiful stitches. It also has advanced features like a stop button for thread breakage. A hopper is required for operation.
[0003] Although the existing hopper mounting structure is converted from a linear bearing to a slide rail slider, which can improve the smoothness of movement, there are still other problems during use. For example, it does not have a dust-proof function. The slide rail slider will be directly exposed to the air after installation. When dust or impurities in the air fall into the inside of the slide rail, it will have a certain impact on the movement of the slider. The stability is poor, and it is not convenient to quickly disassemble and assemble the hopper. The hopper and the components are usually fixed directly with screws. Although it is firm, when the hopper fails and needs to be disassembled for maintenance, tools are needed to assist, which reduces the maintenance efficiency of personnel. In order to solve the above problems, we propose a stabilizing mechanism for the hopper. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a stabilizing mechanism for a hopper, which solves the problem that the existing hopper installation structure does not have a dustproof function and is inconvenient for quick disassembly and assembly of the hopper.
[0005] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: a stabilizing mechanism for a hopper, comprising a fixed frame, two slide rails bolted to the inside of the fixed frame, two cover plates bolted to the front of the fixed frame, four sliding grooves provided on the front of the cover plate, two fixed plates provided on the front of the cover plate, sliders slidably connected to the slide rails symmetrically welded to the back of the fixed plate, baffles are installed on both sides of the fixed plate, a placement seat is welded to the front of the fixed plate, one side of the placement seat is bolted to a shell, a movable plate is provided inside the shell, a limiting rod is symmetrically welded to one side of the movable plate, and a fixing spring is bolted to the other side of the movable plate and the shell through a spring fixing sheet.
[0006] The above technical solution can provide a dust-proof function, preventing dust and impurities in the air from falling into the rail groove, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the hopper movement. At the same time, it can facilitate the quick disassembly and assembly of the hopper, with simple and labor-saving operation, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of personnel and being highly practical.
[0007] The present invention is further configured as follows: mounting plates are welded on both sides of the fixing frame, and mounting holes are opened inside the mounting plates.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, through the provision of the mounting plate and the mounting holes, it is convenient for personnel to fix the fixing frame to the front shell of the multi-needle quilting machine with screws.
[0009] The utility model is further configured as follows: the surfaces of the fixing frame and the cover plate are coated with anti-corrosion paint.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the anti-corrosion coating, the anti-corrosion effect of the surface of the fixing frame and the cover plate can be improved, thereby extending the service life of the fixing frame and the cover plate.
[0011] The utility model is further configured as follows: a fixing rod is welded to the other side of the movable plate, and the other end of the fixing rod passes through the outside of the shell and is welded to a pulling plate.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, through the provision of the fixed rod and the pulling plate, it is convenient for personnel to pull the movable plate and the limiting rod inward.
[0013] The utility model is further configured as follows: the fixing plate and the placement seat are both made of stainless steel.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing plate and the placement seat have the characteristics of high strength, low density and excellent corrosion resistance.
[0015] The utility model is further configured as follows: the fixing spring is made of carbon spring steel.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixed spring has the characteristics of excellent mechanical properties, good anti-elasticity, low temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.
[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. The utility model first fixes the fixing frame to the front housing of the multi-needle quilting machine with screws. After the fixing frame is fixed, the cover plate is lifted and bolted to the front of the fixing frame. After the cover plate is fixed, the slider inside will be exposed in the sliding groove. Then, the operator lifts the fixing plate and fixes it to the slider. After the fixing plate is fixed, the baffles are fixed to both sides of the fixing plate. This can provide a dust-proof function, preventing dust and impurities in the air from falling into the rail groove, thereby ensuring the smoothness and stability of the hopper movement.
[0019] 2. The utility model has two people standing on both sides of the quilting machine, and at the same time holding the pull plate with one hand to pull it outward. When the pull plate is pulled outward, it will drive the movable plate to move outward through the fixation of the fixed rod. When the movable plate moves outward, it will not only compress the fixed spring, but also drive the limit rod to retract inward. When the pull plate is pulled out to the bottom, the hopper is lifted up with the other hand. After the hopper is lifted up, its insert plate is inserted into the placement seat and pushed to the bottom. Finally, the pull plate is released to reset the limit rod. After resetting, the limit rod will extend outward through the through hole inside the insert plate, which can facilitate quick disassembly and assembly of the hopper, simple and labor-saving operation, improved maintenance efficiency of personnel, and high practicality.
