[0115] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate representative embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0116] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The intelligent tufting machine 100 of a preferred embodiment of the fundamental application includes a base frame 110, a transmission device, a first adjustment frame 130, a second adjustment frame 140, a knitting assembly 150, and a control device (not shown).

[0117] The base frame 110 includes a first base beam 111 and a second base beam 112. The first base beam 111 extends along a first direction D1 and is spaced apart along a second direction D2. The second base beam 112 extends along the second direction D2, connects to both ends of the first base beam 111, and is spaced apart along the second direction D2.

[0118] The transmission devices are disposed at both ends of the base frame 110 along the first direction D1 for transmitting the base fabric (not shown) along the first direction D1. The transmission devices may be mounted on the base frame 110. The transmission devices may include an input transmission mechanism 121 and an output transmission mechanism 125.

[0119] For specific references Figure 2 and Figure 3 The input transmission mechanism 121 is located at one end of the base frame 110 along the first direction D1. Specifically, the input transmission mechanism 121 may include an input drive assembly 122, an input transmission assembly 123, and an input transmission assembly 124. The input transmission assembly 123, driven by the input drive assembly 122, drives the input transmission assembly 124 to input the bottom fabric along the first direction D1.

[0120] exist Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the input transmission mechanism 121 further includes an input support member 113. The input support member 113 is mounted on the base frame 110 and is located at both ends of the base frame 110 along the second direction D2. The input support member 113 is constructed as a support column with a plate-shaped base. One end of the input support member 113 supports the input drive assembly 122 and the input transmission assembly 123, while both ends of the input support member 113 together support the input transmission assembly 124.

[0121] For specific references Figure 3 The input drive assembly 122 includes an input drive element 171 and an input drive gear 172. The input drive element 171 can be configured as a motor to effectively simplify its structure while achieving the drive function. The input drive gear 172 is connected to the input drive element 171, such as a drive shaft connected to the input drive element 171, to rotate about its own axis under the drive of the input drive element 171.

[0122] exist Figure 3In the illustrated embodiment, the input drive gear 172 is disposed in the first input housing 114, with its axis parallel to the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100. An input drive member 171 extends at least partially into the first input housing 114 along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100. A structure such as a drive shaft of the input drive member 171 extends at least partially from the bottom of the first input housing 114 into the first input housing 114 to connect with the input drive gear 172.

[0123] The input transmission assembly 123 may specifically include a first input transmission gear 173, a second input transmission gear 174, a first input intermediate gear 175, and a third input transmission gear 176.

[0124] The first input transmission gear 173 is also disposed in the first input housing 114 and meshes with the input drive gear 172, so as to rotate around its own axis under the drive of the input drive gear 172. The axial direction of the first input transmission gear 173 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the input drive gear 172 and parallel to the second direction D2.

[0125] The second input transmission gear 174 is connected to the first input transmission gear 173, and rotates around its own axis under the drive of the first input transmission gear 173. Specifically, the second input transmission gear 174 is disposed in the second input housing 115 of the input transmission mechanism 121. The second input housing 115 is disposed on top of the input support member 113 and supported by the input support member 113. The second input housing 115 and the first input housing 114 are arranged side by side in the second direction D2 to facilitate the connection between the second input transmission gear 174 and the first input transmission gear 173. The second input transmission gear 174 and the first input transmission gear 173 are coaxially arranged, that is, the second input transmission gear 174 and the first input transmission gear 173 can be disposed on the same rotation axis, so that they rotate together around their own axis under the drive of the input drive gear 172.

[0126] Both the first input intermediate gear 175 and the third input transmission gear 176 are disposed within the second input housing 115. The first input intermediate gear 175 is meshed between the second input transmission gear 174 and the third input transmission gear 176 along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100. That is, the first input intermediate gear 175 is disposed between the second input transmission gear 174 and the third input transmission gear 176 along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100, and meshes with both the second input transmission gear 174 and the third input transmission gear 176. The axial directions of the first input intermediate gear 175 and the third input transmission gear 176 are parallel to the axial direction of the second input transmission gear 174. Driven by the second input transmission gear 174, the first input intermediate gear 175 and the third input transmission gear 176 rotate around their own axes, and the rotation direction of the third input transmission gear 176 is the same as the rotation direction of the second input transmission gear 174.

[0127] The input transmission component 124 includes a first input fabric support roller 177, a first input tension roller 178, a first input pressure roller 179, and a second input pressure roller 181 arranged sequentially from top to bottom along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100.

[0128] The first input support roller 177 extends along the second direction D2 to support and input the bottom fabric wrapped around it along the first direction D1.

[0129] The first input tension wheel 178 extends along the second direction D2, is coaxially arranged with and connected to the second input transmission gear 174, and rotates around its own axis under the drive of the second input transmission gear 174 to support and input the base fabric along the first direction D1. The first input tension wheel 178 is preferably constructed as a spike wheel to effectively increase the tension of the first input tension wheel 178 on the base fabric wound around it.

[0130] The first input clamping wheel 179 extends along the second direction D2, is coaxially arranged with the third input transmission gear 176, and is connected to the third input transmission gear 176 so that it can rotate around its own axis under the drive of the third input transmission gear 176 to support and input and transmit the bottom fabric along the first direction D1.

[0131] The second input pressure roller 181 extends along the second direction D2 and is movably arranged along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100, so that the distance between the second input pressure roller 181 and the first input pressure roller 179 is adjustable, thereby adjusting the pressure force of the second input pressure roller 181 and the first input pressure roller 179 on the base fabric located between them. In this way, the second input pressure roller 181 and the first input pressure roller 179 can work together with the second output pressure roller 192 and the first output pressure roller 191 mentioned below to press and support the base fabric located on the transmission device in a stable unfolded state, effectively suppressing the reduction of contact pressure between the knitting assembly 150 and the base fabric due to the deflection of the base fabric, and enabling the knitting assembly 150 to stably pierce the base fabric to perform corresponding embroidery operations on the base fabric.

[0132] The movement of the second input pressure roller 181 along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100 can be achieved by driving the input adjustment component 193 of the input transmission mechanism 121. Please refer to [the relevant documentation] for details. Figure 3 The input adjustment component 193 is disposed at both ends of the second input pressing wheel 181 along the second direction D2 and connected to the second input pressing wheel 181 to drive the second input pressing wheel 181 to move along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100, thereby adjusting the distance between the second input pressing wheel 181 and the first input pressing wheel 179.

[0133] The input adjustment assembly 193 may include an input adjustment member 194 and an input adjustment support member 195. The input adjustment support member 195 is connected to both the second input pressure roller 181 and the input adjustment member 194, so that the second input pressure roller 181 can be moved along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100 under the drive of the input adjustment member 194.

[0134] exist Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the input adjustment member 194 is disposed on the inner side of the input support member 113 along the second direction D2. The input adjustment member 194 is preferably constructed as a cylinder to effectively simplify its structure while achieving the driving function. The input adjustment support member 195 is disposed above the input adjustment member 194 and connected to a structure such as a drive rod of the input adjustment member 194. The input adjustment support member 195 is located above the input adjustment member 194. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the structure is configured as a bearing to facilitate connection with and support of the second input pressure roller 181. The second input pressure roller 181 and the input adjustment support 195 move together along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100 under the drive of a structure such as a drive rod of the input adjustment member 194, and the distance between the second input pressure roller 181 and the first input pressure roller 179 is adjusted accordingly.

[0135] The input transmission component 124 is configured to include a first input fabric support roller 177, a first input tension roller 178, a first input pressing roller 179, and a second input pressing roller 181 arranged sequentially from top to bottom along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100. In particular, it is configured to include a first input pressing roller 179 and a second input pressing roller 181, so that even if the first input tension roller 178 fails to rotate unexpectedly, the input transmission component 124 can still achieve tensioning and transmission of the base fabric at least through the first input pressing roller 179, and achieve pressing of the base fabric through the first input pressing roller 179 and the second input pressing roller 181.

[0136] The output transmission mechanism 125 of the transmission device is located at the other end of the base frame 110 along the first direction D1, as detailed in the reference. Figure 1 The output transmission mechanism 125 may specifically include an output drive assembly 126, an output transmission assembly 127, and an output transmission assembly 128, as detailed in the reference [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The output transmission assembly 127, driven by the output drive assembly 126, drives the output transmission assembly 128 to output the bottom fabric along the first direction D1.

[0137] exist Figure 1 and Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the output transmission mechanism 125 further includes an output support member 116. The output support member 116 is mounted on the base frame 110 and is located at both ends of the base frame 110 along the second direction D2. The output support member 116 is constructed as a support column with a plate-shaped base. One end of the output support member 116 supports the output drive assembly 126 and the output transmission assembly 127, while both ends of the output support member 116 together support the output transmission assembly 128.

[0138] For specific references Figure 4 The output drive assembly 126 includes an output drive element 182 and an output drive gear 183. The output drive element 182 can be configured as a motor to effectively simplify the structure of the output drive element 182 while achieving the drive function. The output drive gear 183 is connected to the output drive element 182, such as a drive shaft connected to the output drive element 182, to rotate about its own axis under the drive of the output drive element 182.

[0139] exist Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the output drive gear 183 is disposed in the first output housing 117, with its axis parallel to the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100. An output drive member 182 extends at least partially into the first output housing 117 along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100. A structure such as a drive shaft of the output drive member 182 extends at least partially from the bottom of the first output housing 117 into the first output housing 117 to connect with the output drive gear 183.

[0140] The output transmission assembly 127 may specifically include a first output transmission gear 184, a second output transmission gear 185, a first output intermediate gear 186, and a third output transmission gear 187.

[0141] The first output transmission gear 184 is also disposed in the first output housing 117 and meshes with the output drive gear 183 to rotate around its own axis under the drive of the output drive gear 183. The axial direction of the first output transmission gear 184 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the output drive gear 183 and parallel to the second direction D2.

[0142] The second output transmission gear 185 is connected to the first output transmission gear 184, and rotates around its own axis under the drive of the first output transmission gear 184. Specifically, the second output transmission gear 185 is disposed in the second output housing 118 of the output transmission mechanism 125. The second output housing 118 is disposed on top of the output support member 116 and supported by the output support member 116. The second output housing 118 and the first output housing 117 are arranged side by side in the second direction D2 to facilitate the connection between the second output transmission gear 185 and the first output transmission gear 184. The second output transmission gear 185 and the first output transmission gear 184 are coaxially arranged, that is, the second output transmission gear 185 and the first output transmission gear 184 can be disposed on the same rotation axis, so that they rotate together around their own axis under the drive of the output drive gear 183.

[0143] Both the first output intermediate gear 186 and the third output transmission gear 187 are disposed within the second output housing 118. The first output intermediate gear 186 is meshed between the second output transmission gear 185 and the third output transmission gear 187 along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100. That is, the first output intermediate gear 186 is disposed between the second output transmission gear 185 and the third output transmission gear 187 along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100, and meshes with both the second output transmission gear 185 and the third output transmission gear 187. The axial directions of both the first output intermediate gear 186 and the third output transmission gear 187 are parallel to the axial direction of the second output transmission gear 185. Under the drive of the second output transmission gear 185, the first output intermediate gear 186 and the third output transmission gear 187 rotate around their own axes, and the rotation direction of the third output transmission gear 187 is the same as the rotation direction of the second output transmission gear 185.

[0144] The output transmission component 128 includes a first output fabric support roller 188, a first output tension roller 189, a first output pressure roller 191, and a second output pressure roller 192 arranged sequentially from top to bottom along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100.

[0145] The first output support roller 188 extends along the second direction D2 to support and output the bottom fabric wrapped around it along the first direction D1.

[0146] The first output tensioning wheel 189 extends along the second direction D2, is coaxially arranged with and connected to the second output transmission gear 185, and rotates around its own axis under the drive of the second output transmission gear 185 to support and output the base fabric along the first direction D1. The first output tensioning wheel 189 is preferably constructed as a spiked wheel to effectively increase the tension of the first output tensioning wheel 189 on the base fabric wound around it.

[0147] The first output clamping wheel 191 extends along the second direction D2, is coaxially arranged with the third output transmission gear 187, and is connected to the third output transmission gear 187 so that it can rotate around its own axis under the drive of the third output transmission gear 187, so as to support and output the bottom fabric along the first direction D1.

[0148] The second output pressure roller 192 extends along the second direction D2 and is movably arranged along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100, so that the distance between the second output pressure roller 192 and the first output pressure roller 191 is adjustable, thereby adjusting the pressure force of the second output pressure roller 192 and the first output pressure roller 191 on the base fabric located between them. In this way, the second output pressure roller 192 and the first output pressure roller 191 can work together with the second input pressure roller 181 and the first input pressure roller 179 mentioned above to press and support the base fabric located on the transmission device in a stable unfolded state, effectively suppressing the reduction of contact pressure between the knitting assembly 150 and the base fabric due to the deflection of the base fabric, and enabling the knitting assembly 150 to stably pierce the base fabric to perform corresponding embroidery operations on the base fabric.

[0149] The movement of the second output clamping roller 192 along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100 can be achieved by driving and adjusting the output adjustment component 196 of the output transmission mechanism 125. Please refer to [the relevant documentation] for details. Figure 4 The output adjustment component 196 is disposed at both ends of the second output pressing wheel 192 along the second direction D2 and connected to the second output pressing wheel 192 to drive the second output pressing wheel 192 to move along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100, thereby adjusting the distance between the second output pressing wheel 192 and the first output pressing wheel 191.

[0150] The output adjustment assembly 196 may include an output adjustment member 197 and an output adjustment support member 198. The output adjustment support member 198 is connected to both the second output pressing wheel 192 and the output adjustment member 197, so that the second output pressing wheel 192 can be moved along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100 under the drive of the output adjustment member 197.

[0151] exist Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the output adjustment member 197 is disposed on the inner side of the output support member 116 along the second direction D2. The output adjustment member 197 is preferably constructed as a cylinder to effectively simplify its structure while achieving the driving function. The output adjustment support member 198 is disposed above the output adjustment member 197 and connected to a structure such as a drive rod of the output adjustment member 197. The output adjustment support member 198 is located above the output adjustment member 197. Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the structure is configured as a bearing to facilitate connection with and support of the second output clamping wheel 192. The second output clamping wheel 192 and the output adjustment support 198 move together along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100 under the drive of a structure such as a drive rod of the output adjustment member 197, and the distance between the second output clamping wheel 192 and the first output clamping wheel 191 is adjusted accordingly.

[0152] Similarly, the output transmission component 128 is configured to include a first output fabric support roller 188, a first output tension roller 189, a first output pressing roller 191, and a second output pressing roller 192 arranged sequentially from top to bottom along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100. In particular, it is configured to include the first output pressing roller 191 and the second output pressing roller 192, so that even if the first output tension roller 189 fails to rotate unexpectedly, the output transmission component 128 can still achieve tensioning and transmission of the base fabric by at least the first output pressing roller 191, and achieve pressing of the base fabric by the first output pressing roller 191 and the second output pressing roller 192.

[0153] In addition to being tensioned and unfolded in the first direction D1, the base fabric also needs to be tensioned and unfolded in the second direction D2 on the conveying device. The tensioning and unfolding of the base fabric in the second direction D2 is achieved by the tensioning device of the intelligent tufting machine 100.

[0154] The tensioning device includes a fixed tensioning component 161 and a movable tensioning component 163, for details please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 A fixed tensioning assembly 161 is disposed on one side of the base frame 110 along the second direction D2 and includes a first clamping portion 162. The first clamping portion 162 extends along the first direction D1 and is located above the first input fabric support wheel 177 and the first output fabric support wheel 188, for clamping the bottom fabric on one side along the second direction D2. A movable tensioning assembly 163 is disposed on the other side of the base frame 110 along the second direction D2 and includes a second clamping portion 164 movably disposed along the second direction D2. The second clamping portion 164 extends along the first direction D1 and is located above the first input fabric support wheel 177 and the first output fabric support wheel 188, for clamping the bottom fabric on the other side along the second direction D2.

[0155] The movable tensioning assembly 163 may further include a first drive unit 165 and a first transmission connection unit 166. The first transmission connection unit 166 is connected to the first drive unit 165, and the two ends of the second clamping part 164 along the first direction D1 are respectively connected to the first drive unit 165 and the first transmission connection unit 166, so as to move along the second direction D2 under the drive of the first drive unit 165.

[0156] Please refer to the details. Figure 5 The first drive unit 165 includes a first drive member 165a and a first transmission member 165b. The first transmission member 165b is connected to the first drive member 165a to rotate about its own axis under the drive of the first drive member 165a. Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the first drive member 165a is disposed on a plate-shaped base 167 of the movable tensioning assembly 163. The first drive member 165a is preferably constructed as a motor to effectively simplify its structure while achieving the driving function. The first transmission member 165b is constructed as a first lead screw connected to the first drive member 165a.

[0157] The first transmission connection unit 166 includes a first gear 166a, a second gear 166b, a first connecting rod 166c, a third gear 166d, a fourth gear 166e, and a second lead screw 166f. The first gear 166a is sleeved on the first driving member 165a. The second gear 166b is connected to the second lead screw 166f. The third gear 166d meshes with the first gear 166a, and the fourth gear 166e meshes with the second gear 166b. The third gear 166d and the fourth gear 166e are respectively sleeved at both ends of the first connecting rod 166c. The first connecting rod 166c is supported by bearings mounted on the base 167.

[0158] The movable tensioning assembly 163 also includes a first support frame 168a and a second support frame 168b. A first nut 168c is provided at the bottom of the first support frame 168a, and the first nut 168c is sleeved on the first transmission member 165b. A second nut (not shown) is provided at the bottom of the second support frame 168b, and the second nut is sleeved on the second lead screw 166f. A second clamping part 164 is provided at the top of the first support frame 168a and the second support frame 168b.

[0159] exist Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, both the first support frame 168a and the second support frame 168b are constructed in a Z-shape to effectively increase their structural strength.

[0160] The first driving member 165a can directly drive the first transmission member 165b to rotate around its own axis, and drive the second lead screw 166f to rotate around its own axis through the first transmission connection unit 166. Then, under the rotation of the first transmission member 165b and the second lead screw 166f, the first nut 168c and the second nut move along the first transmission member 165b and the second lead screw 166f, that is, along the second direction D2, thereby driving the second clamping part 164 to move along the second direction D2. This allows the second clamping part 164 to work together with the first clamping part 162 to tension and support the base fabric located on the transmission device in a stable unfolded state along the second direction D2, effectively suppressing the reduction of contact pressure between the knitting assembly 150 and the base fabric due to the deflection of the base fabric. This enables the knitting assembly 150 to stably pierce the base fabric for corresponding embroidery operations.

[0161] To facilitate the movement of the second clamping part 164 along the second direction D2, it is preferable that a first guide rail 167a is provided on both bases 167 of the movable tensioning assembly 163, and a first slider 168d that cooperates with the first guide rail 167a is provided at the bottom of the first support frame 168a and the second support frame 168b, respectively.

[0162] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 5 The second clamping part 164 includes a third clamping plate 164a and a fourth clamping plate 164b.

The second driving member 169 is disposed on the inner side of the second support frame 168b and connected to the fourth clamping plate 164b to drive the fourth clamping plate 164b to move along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100. The second driving member 169 is preferably constructed as a cylinder, and the fourth clamping plate 164b is connected to a driving rod such as the second driving member 169.

[0164] The fixed tensioning assembly 161 is fixedly mounted on the base frame 110 along the second direction D2. Therefore, structurally, it does not include drive units and transmission connection units such as the first drive unit 165 and the first transmission connection unit 166, as is the case with the movable tensioning assembly 163. The fixed tensioning assembly 161 may include a third support frame (not shown) and a fourth support frame (not shown), similar to the first support frame 168a and the second support frame 168b of the movable tensioning assembly 163.

Specifically, the first clamping plate is fixedly mounted on the top of the third support frame and the fourth support frame. The third driving member is mounted on one of the third support frame and the fourth support frame and connected to the second clamping plate to drive the second clamping plate to move along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100. The third driving member is preferably constructed as a cylinder, and the second clamping plate is connected to a driving rod such as the third driving member.

[0167] The first adjusting frame 130 is movably mounted on the base frame 110. Specifically, the first adjusting frame 130 extends along the second direction D2 and is movably mounted on the base frame 110 along the first direction D1, and is movably mounted between the transmission devices. The second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1.

[0168] Please refer to the details.

A third slider 137 is provided on the outer side of the column 131 along the second direction D2. The third slider 137 cooperates with the third guide rail 136 to further assist the movement of the first adjusting frame 130 along the first direction D1.

[0173] The second adjustment frame 140 extends along the second direction D2 and is movably mounted on the first adjustment frame 130 along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100. The height direction is perpendicular to both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2.

[0174] Please refer to the details. Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The second adjusting frame 140 includes a second crossbeam 141 extending along a second direction D2. Fourth nuts 141a are provided at both ends of the second crossbeam 141. The intelligent tufting machine 100 also includes a fifth driving member 143 and a second transmission connection unit. The second transmission connection unit is connected to the second crossbeam 141 and the fifth driving member 143, so that under the drive of the fifth driving member 143, the second adjusting frame 140 is moved along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100 via the second crossbeam 141.

[0175] Specifically, the fifth driving component 143 is located on the top of the column 131, and is preferably constructed as a motor.

[0176] The second transmission connection unit includes a second connecting rod 144a, a fifth gear 144b, a sixth gear 144c, and a third lead screw 144d. The second connecting rod 144a extends along a second direction D2 and is supported by bearings spaced along the second direction D2. The second connecting rod 144a is connected to a fifth driving member 143 to rotate about its own axis under the drive of the fifth driving member 143. The fifth gear 144b is sleeved at both ends of the second connecting rod 144a and rotates with the second connecting rod 144a. The third lead screw 144d extends along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100, passes through a fourth nut 141a, and engages with the fourth nut 141a. The sixth gear 144c is located at the top of the third lead screw 144d and meshes with the fifth gear 144b.

[0177] The fifth driving component 143 can drive the second connecting rod 144a to rotate around its own axis, and through the fifth gear 144b and the sixth gear 144c, drive the third lead screw 144d to rotate around its own axis. Then, with the cooperation of the fourth nut 141a and the third lead screw 144d, it drives the second crossbeam 141 to move along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100, thereby causing the second adjusting frame 140 to move along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100.

[0186] The embroidery of the plush pattern is carried out under the coordinated action of the first adjusting frame 130, the second adjusting frame 140, and the knitting assembly 150. Specifically, the control device of the intelligent tufting machine 100 is configured to control the movement of the first adjusting frame 130 and the second adjusting frame 140, adjust the number of working knitting assemblies for embroidering the plush pattern in at least two sets of knitting assemblies 150, and control the movement of the working knitting assemblies so that the first adjusting frame 130, the second adjusting frame 140, and the working knitting assemblies work in coordination to embroider the plush pattern.

[0187] The control device can control the movement of the first adjustment frame 130 along the first direction D1 according to the pattern of the plush pattern, and adjust the number of working knitting components in at least two sets of knitting components 150 that are embroidering plush patterns, and control the movement of the working knitting components along the second direction D2 to embroider plush patterns with different preset patterns.

[0188] The control device can control the movement of the second adjustment frame 140 along the height direction of the intelligent tufting machine 100 according to the pile height of the pile pattern, so as to adjust the distance between the knitting component 150 (specifically the working knitting component) and the base fabric located on the transmission device, thereby enabling the knitting component 150 to embroider patterns with different preset pile heights.

[0189] The control device adjusts the number of working knitting components 150 in at least two sets of knitting assemblies 150 for embroidering the plush pattern. Specifically, when embroidering a symmetrical plush pattern is required, the control device controls at least two sets of knitting components 150 to work simultaneously to jointly embroider the plush pattern, thereby improving embroidery efficiency. When embroidering an asymmetrical plush pattern is required, the control device controls individual sets of knitting components 150 to embroider the plush pattern, thereby creating a variety of plush patterns and providing diversity of embroiderable plush patterns.

[0190] In other words, the control device can adjust the number of working knitting components in at least two sets of knitting components 150 that are embroidering the plush pattern according to the pattern of the plush pattern, so that the intelligent tufting machine 100 can switch from a mode in which at least two sets of knitting components 150 work simultaneously to a mode in which one set of knitting components 150 works.

[0191] The control device is also configured to control the needle drive unit 154 and the hook knife drive unit 158 ​​to drive the needle and hook knife unit 157 to move respectively to embroider the pile pattern. Specifically, the control device can control the needle and hook component 157a to work together to embroider a loop pile pattern through a control program. The control device can also control the needle, hook component 157a, and knife component 157b to work together to embroider a cut pile pattern through a control program. In addition, the control device can also control the two sets of hook knife units 157 to achieve a two-hook-one-cut operation mode through a control program, thereby producing a carpet with a flat back.

[0192] The intelligent tufting machine 100 further includes a yarn guiding device 129 and a yarn tension adjusting device 147. Please refer to [reference needed] for details. Figure 8 .

[0193] The yarn guiding device 129 includes a yarn guiding hole 129a. The yarn on the independently set yarn rack (not shown) is guided through the yarn guiding hole 129a of the yarn guiding device 129 to the yarn tension adjusting device 147 to adjust the yarn tension.

[0194] A yarn tension adjustment device 147 is disposed on the knitting assembly 150, such as on the needle plate assembly 151. Specifically, it may include a pair of support plates 148 and at least one support rod 149. The pair of support plates 148 are spaced apart along a second direction D2. One end of the support plate 148 is rotatably connected to the knitting assembly 150, such as being rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 151b of the needle plate assembly 151 of the knitting assembly 150.

[0195] At least one support rod 149 is spaced between a pair of support plates 148, and both ends of the support rod 149 are connected to the support plates 148 respectively. Yarn is wound on the support rod 149, and the tension of the yarn can be adjusted accordingly by rotating the support plates 148.

[0196] Preferably, a yarn breakage detection sensor (not shown) is provided on the yarn guiding device. The yarn breakage detection sensor can detect whether the yarn is broken, and in the event of a yarn breakage, it can transmit the detected yarn breakage signal to the control device, so that the control device can control the intelligent tufting machine 100 to stop working.

[0197] When the intelligent tufting machine 100 is working, the base fabric must first be placed on the conveying device. When placing the base fabric, it must first be input from the input conveying mechanism 121. Specifically, the base fabric must first be supported on the upper surface of the second input pressing roller 181, then wrapped around the upper surface of the second input pressing roller 181 and passed between the second input pressing roller 181 and the first input pressing roller 179. The base fabric is then wrapped around the lower surface of the first input pressing roller 179 and the lower surface of the first input tensioning roller 178, and then passed out again between the first input tensioning roller 178 and the first input fabric support roller 177. Finally, the base fabric is supported on the upper surface of the first input fabric support roller 177.

[0198] Then, the input drive unit 171 is activated, causing the first input tension wheel 178 and the first input pressure wheel 179 to rotate around their own axes simultaneously, thereby driving the bottom fabric to move. Through the friction between the bottom fabric and the second input pressure wheel 181 and the first input fabric support wheel 177, the second input pressure wheel 181 and the first input fabric support wheel 177 rotate around their own axes respectively, ultimately realizing the input of the bottom fabric along the first direction D1.

[0199] Under the input action of the input transmission mechanism 121, after the bottom cloth reaches the output transmission mechanism 125, it needs to be supported on the upper surface of the first output support roller 188, wrapped around the upper surface of the first output support roller 188 and then passed between the first output support roller 188 and the first output tension roller 189. After the bottom cloth is wrapped around the lower surface of the first output tension roller 189 and the lower surface of the first output pressure roller 191, it is passed out between the first output pressure roller 191 and the second output pressure roller 192 again, and then the bottom cloth is supported on the upper surface of the second output pressure roller 192.

[0200] After the base fabric is placed on the input transmission mechanism 121 and the output transmission mechanism 125, the input drive 171 can be turned off, and the input adjustment 194 and the output adjustment 197 can be turned on to adjust the second input clamping roller 181 and the second output clamping roller 192 to a suitable height position. That is, the distance between the second input clamping roller 181 and the first input clamping roller 179 is adjusted so that the second input clamping roller 181 and the first input clamping roller 179 can clamp the base fabric, and the distance between the second output clamping roller 192 and the first output clamping roller 191 is adjusted so that the second output clamping roller 192 and the first output clamping roller 191 can clamp the base fabric, so as to facilitate the embroidery operation of the knitting assembly 150.

[0201] After the base fabric is tensioned and fixed along the first direction D1, it can be tensioned and fixed along the second direction D2 by the tensioning device to facilitate the embroidery operation of the knitting assembly 150.

[0202] Under the control of the control device, the first adjusting frame 130, the second adjusting frame 140, and the working knitting assembly work in coordination to complete the embroidery of the base fabric located between the input transmission mechanism 121 and the output transmission mechanism 125. Then, the input adjusting member 194 and the output adjusting member 197 are activated first, and the second input pressing wheel 181 and the second output pressing wheel 192 are adjusted to the position of releasing the base fabric. Then, the input driving member 171 and the output driving member 182 are activated, and the input driving member 171 and the output driving member 182 are controlled to work synchronously through the control program in the control device to transmit the base fabric along the first direction D1. The completed embroidery part of the base fabric is transmitted to the disconnection transmission device, and the unembroidered part of the base fabric is input to the transmission device to continue the embroidery operation until the base fabric is embroidered.

[0203] In addition, by simultaneously providing an input drive unit 171 and an output drive unit 182, on the one hand, the input drive unit 171 and the output drive unit 182 can be controlled by the control device to work synchronously, so as to simply realize the synchronous operation of the input transmission mechanism 121 and the output transmission mechanism 125, and then transmit the bottom fabric along the first direction D1; on the other hand, the control program in the control device can be adjusted to control the input drive unit 171 or the output drive unit 182 separately as needed, so as to effectively improve the operability and control flexibility of the intelligent tufting machine 100.
