Detailed implementation manners

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Embodiment:

[0025] A material receiving device for a strip component. In this example, the strip component is the shoulder strap of a bra, hereinafter referred to as the shoulder strap. The material receiving device includes an equipment rack 100, a material grabbing mechanism provided on the equipment rack 100 that can be docked with the preparation device and grab the shoulder straps prepared by the preparation device (a professional sewing device for cutting, bending and then sewing the coil material), a receiving mechanism for receiving the strips grabbed by the material grabbing mechanism, and a storage mechanism for storing the strips received by the receiving mechanism and having a storage box 40. The material grabbing mechanism includes a straightening device for straightening the prepared shoulder straps and a clamping device for clamping the straightened shoulder straps.

[0026] Specifically, the straightening device includes a conveyor belt 10 provided on the equipment rack 100. The inlet end 101 of the conveyor belt 10 is docked with the preparation device. After one end of the shoulder strap enters the conveyor belt 10, the clamping device can clamp the other end of the shoulder strap. The clamping device includes a clamping component and a two - degree - of - freedom motion mechanism for driving the clamping component to move. The direction in which the two - degree - of - freedom motion mechanism drives the clamping component to move includes a first direction parallel to the moving direction of the conveyor belt 10 and a second direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the conveyor belt 10.

[0027] In this example, the two-degree-of-freedom motion mechanism includes a fixed plate 301 fixed on the equipment rack 100, a sliding plate 302 arranged at the bottom of the fixed plate 301 and sliding along the second direction (the sliding plate 302 is driven by a fixed cylinder 303), and a sliding cylinder 304 arranged at the bottom of the sliding plate 302. The sliding cylinder 304 slides along the first direction, and the clamping assembly is connected below the sliding cylinder 304 through a connecting plate 305. The clamping assembly includes a first rotating cylinder 30 fixed on the connecting plate 305, a fixed clamping plate 31 fixed on the cylinder block of the first rotating cylinder 30, and a rotating clamping plate 32 fixed on the power output shaft of the first rotating cylinder 30. The power output shaft of the first rotating cylinder 30 drives the rotating clamping plate 32 to rotate and approach the fixed clamping plate 31, so that the shoulder strap can be clamped between the fixed clamping plate 31 and the rotating clamping plate 32.

[0028] Further, the receiving mechanism includes a receiving plate 21 rotatably arranged relative to the equipment rack 100 (in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the conveyor belt 10, the receiving plate 21 is located on one side of the conveyor belt 10), and a rotating rod 24 rotatably arranged on the equipment rack 100. The receiving plate 21 is fixed on the rotating rod 24, and a baffle 22 is arranged on one side of the receiving plate 21 to prevent the shoulder strap from being thrown out, and it can also make a batch of shoulder straps more regular after leaning against the baffle 22.

[0029] In addition, the receiving mechanism further includes a second rotating cylinder 23 whose power output shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 24.

[0030] The receiving plate 21 has a receiving station and a discharging station. When the receiving plate 21 is at the receiving station, the plate surface of the receiving plate 21 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the receiving plate 21 can receive the shoulder strap clamped by the clamping device. When the receiving plate 21 is at the discharging station, the plate surface of the receiving plate 21 forms an angle with the horizontal plane, and the receiving plate 21 can pour the shoulder strap thereon into the storage box 40. Generally, after the receiving plate 21 receives a batch of shoulder straps, these shoulder straps are poured into the storage box 40 at one time. The specific number can be 20, 30, 40, etc. According to needs, the start-stop program of the second rotating cylinder 23 can be designed so that the receiving plate 21 flips and pours the shoulder strap after receiving the set number.

[0031] In this example, the preparation device mainly sews one end of a shoulder strap (the shoulder strap of a bra). Before being sewn, the shoulder strap is produced on the production line in the form of a coil. The free end of the shoulder strap entering the preparation device directly enters the conveyor belt 10, and the other end is bent and cut by the preparation device and then sewn. After sewing, the preparation device releases the fixation of the shoulder strap, and the clamping device clamps one end of the sewn shoulder strap. After clamping the shoulder strap, the clamping device drives the shoulder strap backward and then moves it toward the side where the receiving plate 21 is located, and places the shoulder strap on the receiving plate 21. During this process, the part of the shoulder strap already on the conveyor belt 10 is under the conveying force of the conveyor belt 10 and will always remain straight until the shoulder strap is driven onto the receiving plate 21 and is still in a straight state. It should be noted that the material receiving device also needs to be provided with a blowing nozzle for blowing air at the end of the shoulder strap away from the entrance of the conveyor belt 10 when the clamping device clamps the shoulder strap to the receiving plate 21. Although the clamping device only clamps one end of the shoulder strap, the blowing nozzle blows air at the other end (or one side) of the shoulder strap. Under the combined action of the blown air and the overall clamping device, the shoulder strap can smoothly move onto the receiving plate 21.

[0032] In the present invention, the traditional conveyor belt 10 is used as a straightening device. The conveyor belt 10 is not used to convey the shoulder strap from one position to another, but uses the conveying force of the conveyor belt 10 to always keep the shoulder strap in a straight state during the process of the clamping device grasping the shoulder strap and bringing it to the receiving plate 21, so as to be subsequently poured into the storage box 40 in an orderly manner.

[0033] In addition, the storage mechanism of the present invention further includes a top block 42 assembly provided on the equipment rack 100. When the storage box 40 is placed on the equipment rack 100, the top block 42 assembly (including the top block 42 and the fixing screw at the bottom of the top block 42, and threaded holes are opened on the equipment rack 100, and thus the height of the top block 42 can be adjusted by rotating the screw) abuts against the bottom of the storage box 40, and the top block 42 assembly is located on the side of the bottom of the storage box 40 close to the conveyor belt 10. The storage mechanism further includes a blocking block 41 for blocking the storage box 40 from the side away from the conveyor belt 10 when the storage box 40 is placed on the equipment rack 100. When the storage box 40 is placed on the equipment rack 100, the bottom is supported by the top block 42, that is, the storage box 40 is in an inclined state. The inclined storage box 40 is convenient for the receiving plate 21 to pour the shoulder strap into it, so that the shoulder strap can be neatly stacked to fill the entire storage box 40. In addition, two adjustment slots 410 are provided on the platform of the equipment rack 100 to adjust the position of the blocking block 41, so that the placement position of the storage box 40 can be appropriately adjusted according to the stacking situation in the internal area.

[0034] The present invention adopts an automated operation mode to replace the traditional manual storage mode. It has a high degree of automation, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers and the expenditure of labor costs. In addition, through the automated material receiving and storage mode, an induction counter can be designed to perform induction counting on the action frequency of the clamping device, providing a basis for automated counting.

[0035] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical concept and features of the present invention. The purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and it cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
