Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of textile equipment technology, and specifically relates to a fabric inspection system. Background Technology
[0002] Due to factors such as the quality of raw yarn and semi-finished products, processes, machinery, and operational management, various defects can occur on the surface of fabrics during the weaving process. Weaving defects are a crucial indicator affecting the quality of grey fabric and a significant measure of a company's production and management levels, requiring strict monitoring throughout the weaving process. To ensure timely feedback to the production department, prevent the spread of production quality incidents, and to statistically analyze and eliminate fabric surface defects according to regulations and relevant national laws, as well as to grade the grey fabric, divide it into rolls of a certain length, and calculate output, manual inspection of the fabric is a very important process.
[0003] Currently, the automation level of fabric inspection systems in textile factories is low. After the fabric rolls are fed onto the inspection machine, the machine continues to run because it cannot detect the end of the roll. However, there is no more fabric being fed to the rear of the machine, causing the inspected fabric to become completely wrapped around the guide rollers. To inspect a new roll, the fabric must be pulled from the storage rack, passed through the multiple guide rollers, and sewn together with the inspected fabric before inspection can begin again. Furthermore, after inspection, only one empty roller remains on the roll. Workers typically remove this empty roller from the storage rack and store it in a fixed location. This fabric inspection process is cumbersome, increasing labor costs but reducing output and efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a fabric inspection system that can solve the problem of increased workload and reduced work efficiency caused by the need for frequent fabric splicing and empty fabric roller recycling during the fabric inspection process.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A fabric inspection system includes a fabric roll wound around a fabric roller to form a fabric roll, comprising a fabric inspection machine, a fabric guiding mechanism, a fabric storage rack, and a control component. The fabric guiding mechanism is located between the fabric inspection machine and the fabric storage rack. The control component is used to control the fabric inspection machine to stop. The fabric storage rack includes a frame, a guiding component disposed on the frame, a receiving mechanism located at the front end of the frame, a lifting mechanism located at the rear end of the frame, and a release mechanism disposed on the frame. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the fabric roll to move vertically. The guiding component is used to provide a tendency for the fabric roll to move from the rear end of the frame to the front end of the frame. The release mechanism is disposed on the path of the fabric roll moving from the rear end of the frame to the front end of the frame. The receiving mechanism is used to receive the fabric roll. The fabric roll enters the fabric inspection machine after passing through the fabric roller on the receiving mechanism and the fabric guiding mechanism.
[0007] By setting up a guiding mechanism and control components between the fabric inspection machine and the fabric storage rack, the various components cooperate with each other. On the one hand, the fabric roll can move automatically from the rear end of the frame (the end of the frame closer to the lifting mechanism) to the front end of the frame (the end of the frame away from the lifting mechanism) on the fabric storage rack, realizing a continuous supply of fabric rolls. Empty fabric rollers on the fabric storage rack can be promptly retrieved and stored by the receiving mechanism without affecting the continuous transfer of fabric rolls, thus improving the automation level of the inspection system. On the other hand, the guiding mechanism connects the fabric to be inspected from the fabric storage rack with the fabric being inspected on the fabric inspection machine. When the fabric roll is used up, the control components will promptly send a stop signal to the fabric inspection machine, causing the guiding rollers on the fabric inspection machine to stop rotating. The ends of the remaining fabric can stay on the guiding mechanism, avoiding the need to pass the fabric from the storage rack through the multiple guiding rollers on the fabric inspection machine one by one when inspecting the next fabric roll. Only one end of the fabric on the guiding mechanism needs to be sewn directly to the end of the fabric on the storage rack to continue inspection, which helps to improve work efficiency, speed up production, and promote output.
[0008] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the fabric guiding mechanism includes a sensor, a fixed frame, a first drive shaft, a second drive shaft, and a third drive shaft. The sensor is used to sense whether there is fabric between the fabric guiding mechanism and the fabric storage rack, and transmits a fabric exhaustion signal to the control component when no fabric is detected. The third drive shaft is disposed on the top of the fixed frame, and the second drive shaft is located between the first drive shaft and the third drive shaft. The fabric passes through the first drive shaft, the second drive shaft, and the third drive shaft in sequence before reaching the fabric inspection machine. Fabric being inspected on the fabric storage rack is located on the receiving mechanism on the fabric storage rack, and passes through the first drive shaft, the second drive shaft, and the third drive shaft in sequence before reaching the fabric inspection machine for inspection. When the fabric in the receiving mechanism is exhausted, no more fabric passes through the fabric guiding mechanism. At this time, the sensor on the fabric guiding mechanism can detect the fabric exhaustion signal, and the sensor will transmit the fabric exhaustion signal to the control component. The control component will first control the fabric inspection machine to stop, and then control the receiving mechanism to retract the empty fabric roller. The fixed frame allows the ends of the remaining fabric to hang down from the top of the fixed frame, so that workers do not need to bend over or squat down when sewing the fabric, making the operation easier.
[0009] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the receiving mechanism includes two roller assemblies, which are respectively located on both sides of the front end of the frame. The roller assemblies are used to receive the fabric roll guided by the guide assembly. Each roller assembly includes two parallel rotating wheels and a driver for adjusting the distance between the two rotating wheels. The driver is connected to the end of one of the two rotating wheels. The two roller assemblies on both sides of the frame are used to receive the fabric roll that moves from the rear end of the frame to the front end of the frame. The two roller assemblies are respectively located on both sides of the frame, and the two ends of the fabric rollers are respectively located between the two rotating wheels in the corresponding roller assemblies. The rotation of the rotating wheels drives the fabric roll to rotate to continuously supply fabric to the fabric inspection machine. The roller assembly is located below the end of the guide assembly near the receiving mechanism, which facilitates the fabric roll to directly enter between the two rotating wheels from the guide assembly. The roller assembly also includes a blocking wheel, which is located above the rotating wheel near the fabric guiding mechanism, and the distance between the two is less than the diameter of the fabric roller. The blocking wheel is used to limit the fabric roll rotating on the two rotating wheels and prevent the fabric roll from falling off the roller assembly. When the fabric roll runs out, the control unit commands the driver to start. One of the rollers connected to the driver moves away from the other roller, increasing the distance between the two rollers to a value greater than the diameter of the fabric roller. The empty fabric roller falls directly from the gap between the two rollers, achieving automatic recycling of the empty fabric roller.
[0010] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the receiving mechanism includes a fixed plate fixedly connected to the frame. The fixed plate is used to receive empty fabric rollers. The fixed plate is located below the release mechanism and is inclined, with its horizontal height gradually decreasing from the front end to the rear end of the frame. The fixed plate is provided to receive empty fabric rollers falling from the gap between the two rollers, facilitating the storage of empty fabric rollers. Therefore, the fixed plate is positioned below the release mechanism and fixedly connected to the frame. The length of the fixed plate is equal to or greater than the distance between the rear end of the frame and the roller furthest from the frame when there is a gap between the two rollers. To prevent all empty fabric rollers falling onto the fixed plate from piling up at one end of the fixed plate, the fixed plate is inclined, with the horizontal height of the end of the fixed plate near the guide mechanism greater than the horizontal height of the end of the fixed plate furthest from the guide mechanism. This allows the empty fabric rollers to move independently from the front end to the rear end of the frame after falling onto the fixed plate, arranging themselves in an orderly manner on the fixed plate.
[0011] According to some preferred embodiments of the invention, the guiding assembly includes two relatively parallel guide rails and a side plate fixedly connected to the guide rails. The horizontal height of the guide rails gradually decreases from the rear end of the frame to the front end, and the side plate guides the movement of the fabric roll. The guide rails are inclined, and their horizontal height gradually decreases from the rear end of the frame to the front end, meaning the horizontal height of the end of the guide rail near the lifting mechanism is greater than the horizontal height of the end away from the lifting mechanism. Since the end of the frame away from the lifting mechanism is closer to the fabric inspection machine, the inclination of the guide rails facilitates the fabric roll to roll forward towards the inspection machine after entering the frame. Furthermore, the guide rails and side plates simultaneously provide support and restraint for the fabric roll in both the horizontal and vertical directions, preventing the fabric roll from falling to the ground or tilting (the fabric roll is not parallel to the width direction of the frame).
[0012] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the release mechanism is arranged parallel to the guide rail, and the release mechanism includes a transmission belt, a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a power assembly for driving the driving wheel to rotate. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are respectively located at both ends of the frame, and the transmission belt is sleeved on the outer walls of the driving wheel and the driven wheel; the driving wheel and the driven wheel are connected to the frame. The power assembly drives the driving wheel to rotate, and the rotation of the driving wheel drives the driven wheel to rotate together, further driving the transmission belt to drive the transmission. In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple driven wheels are provided, and all multiple driven wheels are connected to the frame. The transmission belt is entirely sleeved on the outer walls of the driving wheel and the multiple driven wheels.
[0013] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the conveyor belt is located below the fabric roll, and the surface of the conveyor belt is provided with baffles for blocking the movement of the fabric roll on the guide rails; the two ends of the fabric roller are respectively located on the two guide rails of the guide assembly. The baffles can prevent the fabric roll from continuing to roll forward, and at the same time effectively separate two adjacent fabric rolls, preventing the subsequent fabric roll from being too close to the previous fabric roll during fabric inspection and affecting the rotation of the previous fabric roll. Since the guide rails are placed at an angle, and the release mechanism is parallel to the guide rails, that is, the release mechanism is also placed at an angle corresponding to the guide rails, the height of each baffle on the conveyor belt can be the same, avoiding the need to set baffles of different heights to block the fabric rolls because the release mechanism is not parallel to the guide rails. The two ends of the fabric roller contact the guide rails. Since the guide rails are made of metal, they can support the weight of the fabric rolls, so that the fabric rolls do not exert their weight on the conveyor belt, preventing the fabric rolls from crushing the conveyor belt.
[0014] Specifically, the length of the fabric roller is less than the distance between the two side plates, and both ends of the fabric roller are close to but do not contact the two side plates, so that the fabric roll is fixed between the two side plates and will not slip. The width of the fabric is less than the length of the fabric roller. The distance from the baffle on the same side of the frame to the corresponding side plate is greater than the width of the guide rail but less than the distance from the end of the fabric on the same side to the corresponding side plate, ensuring that both ends of the fabric roll have exposed fabric rollers. The exposed fabric rollers can contact the baffle, avoiding direct contact between the baffle and the fabric and damage to the fabric. The height of the baffle is greater than the distance between the conveyor belt and the fabric rollers, ensuring that the baffle can contact the fabric rollers and further blocking the fabric roll.
[0015] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the lifting mechanism includes a drive assembly, two vertical transmission assemblies, and a loading frame connected to each of the vertical transmission assemblies. The drive assembly drives the vertical transmission assemblies to move the loading frame vertically. The distance between the two loading frames is equal to the distance between the corresponding two side plates. The lifting mechanism also includes a column to provide a position for placing and fixing the drive assembly, the vertical transmission assemblies, and the loading frame. The drive assembly includes a motor, a control switch, and a drive wheel connected to the motor. The vertical transmission assemblies include a fixed pulley and a chain that passes over the fixed pulley and connects to the loading frame. When the control switch is turned on to start the motor, the motor drives the drive wheel to rotate. The drive wheel further drives the fixed pulley to rotate, and the rotation of the fixed pulley drives the chain transmission. The loading frame is connected to the chain, ultimately enabling the loading frame to move up and down vertically, reaching the target height. The fabric roll placed on the loading frame also reaches the target height of the fabric storage rack. The lifting mechanism facilitates the easy transport of fabric rolls to heights inaccessible to workers, saving time and effort. The distance between the two loading racks is equal to the distance between the corresponding two side plates, which facilitates the fabric roll entering the guide assembly from the loading rack.
[0016] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the frame is provided with multiple sets of the guide assemblies, and the width between the two guide rails in each set of the guide assemblies may be the same or different. In some embodiments of the present invention, the frame is provided with two sets of guide assemblies, and the two sets of guide assemblies have different heights. The lower guide assembly is suitable for fabric rolls with shorter roll lengths, and the upper guide assembly is suitable for fabric rolls with longer roll lengths. That is, the distance between the two guide rails in the lower guide assembly is different from the distance between the two guide rails in the upper guide assembly, and the distance between the two guide rails in the lower assembly is smaller than the distance between the two guide rails in the upper assembly. The lower guide assembly is constructed by providing a support extending from one side of the frame to the other side, and then fixing one of the guide rails and its corresponding side plate to the support. The guide rails and side plates on the other side of the frame remain fixed to the frame, thus shortening the distance between the two guide rails in the lower assembly. Providing two sets of guide assemblies increases the usability of the fabric storage rack, making it suitable for fabric rolls of different sizes.
[0017] Specifically, both loading frames include a fixed block and a first support plate fixedly connected to the fixed block. A vertical transmission assembly is connected to the fixed block, and the first support plate is located at the upper end of the fixed block. The first support plate is an arc-shaped plate, with both ends of the arc-shaped plate higher than the center. When the fabric roll is placed on the first support plate, it can prevent the fabric roll from falling off the ends of the first support plate during lifting. The fixed block can restrict the movement of the fabric roll in the horizontal direction, so that the fabric roll is stably placed on the loading frame. Correspondingly, corresponding to the setting of the guide assembly located at the lower part of the frame, a telescopic assembly is set on the loading frame located on the same side as the support. By adjusting the distance between the second support plate and the first support plate on the other side of the loading frame through the drive unit, it is made equal to the distance between the two side plates at the lower part of the frame. Then, the vertical transmission assembly is adjusted so that the second support plate and the first support plate on the other loading frame are on the same horizontal plane, so that the shorter fabric roll can be placed on the loading frame and conveyed to the guide assembly at the lower part. The structure of the second support plate is the same as that of the first support plate.
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: The fabric inspection system of this invention, by setting a guiding mechanism and control components between the fabric inspection machine and the fabric storage rack, allows the fabric rolls to move automatically from the rear end to the front end of the frame on the fabric storage rack, achieving a continuous supply of fabric rolls. Empty fabric rollers on the storage rack can be promptly retrieved and stored by the receiving mechanism, without affecting the continuous transfer of fabric rolls, thus improving the automation level of the inspection system. Furthermore, the guiding mechanism and control components work together to brake the fabric inspection machine in a timely manner when the fabric is exhausted, preventing insufficient length of fabric from remaining on the guiding rollers to connect with the fabric on the next roll to be inspected. This fabric inspection system helps reduce the workload of workers, improves work efficiency, accelerates production speed, and promotes output. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the fabric inspection system of this embodiment includes a fabric inspection machine 7, a fabric guiding mechanism 8, a fabric storage rack 9, and a control component 10. The fabric guiding mechanism 8 is located between the fabric inspection machine 7 and the fabric storage rack 9. The control component 10 is connected to the fabric guiding mechanism 8. The fabric 62 passes from the fabric storage rack 9 through the fabric guiding mechanism 8 to the fabric inspection machine 7 for inspection.
[0029] The fabric guiding mechanism 8 includes a sensor 81, a fixed frame 82, a first drive shaft 83, a second drive shaft 84, and a third drive shaft 85. The third drive shaft 85 is located on top of the fixed frame 82, and the second drive shaft 84 is located between the first drive shaft 83 and the third drive shaft 85. The fabric 62 passes through the first drive shaft 83, the second drive shaft 84, and the third drive shaft 85 in sequence before reaching the fabric inspection machine 7. The control component 10 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 82. When the sensor 81 detects that there is no fabric 62 between the fabric guiding mechanism 8 and the fabric storage rack 9, it transmits a fabric exhaustion signal to the control component 10, causing the control component 10 to control the fabric inspection machine 7 to stop.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the fabric storage rack 9 in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a guide assembly 2 disposed on the frame 1, a lifting mechanism 3 located at the rear end of the frame 1, a release mechanism 4 disposed on the frame 1, and a receiving mechanism 5 located at the front end of the frame 1. The fabric storage rack is used to hold fabric rolls 6, which include a fabric roller 61 and a piece of fabric 62 to be inspected wound around the fabric roller 61. The lifting mechanism 3 drives the fabric roll 6 to move vertically, so that the fabric roll 6 can reach a specified height on the frame 1. The guide assembly 2 is used to provide a tendency for the fabric roll 6 to move from the rear end of the frame 1 to the front end of the frame 1. The release mechanism 4 is disposed on the path of the fabric roll 6 moving from the rear end of the frame 1 to the front end of the frame 1. In this embodiment, two sets of guide assemblies 2 are provided on the frame 1.
[0031] Each guide assembly 2 includes two parallel guide rails 21 and side plates fixedly connected to the guide rails 21. The two ends of the fabric roller 61 are respectively located on the two guide rails 21. The guide rails 21 are inclined, and their horizontal height gradually decreases from the rear end to the front end of the frame 1. The length of the fabric roller 61 is less than the distance between the two side plates 22, and the width of the fabric roll 62 is less than the length of the fabric roller 61. The inclination of the guide rails 21 facilitates the fabric roll 6 to roll forward on its own after entering the frame 1, moving closer to the fabric inspection machine 7; and the guide rails 21 and the side plates can simultaneously limit and support the fabric roll 6 in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The distance between the two guide rails 21 in the group with the smaller horizontal height of the two guide components 2 is smaller than the distance between the two guide rails 21 in the other group of guide components 2. This is achieved by setting a bracket 22 on one side of the frame 1 and extending it to the other side of the frame 1, and fixing one of the guide rails 21 and the corresponding side plate to the bracket 22. The guide rails 21 and the side plate on the other side of the frame 1 are still fixed to the frame 1, which shortens the distance between the two guide rails 21 in this group of guide components 2, making it suitable for cloth rolls 6 with shorter cloth rollers 61.
[0032] The lifting mechanism 3 includes a drive assembly 31, two vertical transmission assemblies 32, and a loading frame 33 connected to each vertical transmission assembly 32. The drive assembly 31 drives the vertical transmission assemblies 32 to move the loading frame 33 vertically. The distance between the two loading frames 33 is equal to the distance between the corresponding two side plates. Each loading frame 33 includes a fixing block 331 and a first support plate 332 fixedly connected to the fixing block 331. The vertical transmission assembly 32 is connected to the fixing block 331, and the first support plate 332 is located at the upper end of the fixing block 331. In this embodiment, the first support plate 332 is preferably an arc-shaped plate. Correspondingly, a telescopic assembly 34 is provided on the loading frame 33 located on the same side as the bracket 22. The telescopic assembly 34 includes a rod 341, a second support plate 342 fixedly connected to one end of the rod 341, and a drive unit. The other end of the rod 341 is connected to the fixing block 331 on the corresponding loading frame 33. The drive unit drives the rod 341 to move closer to or away from the other loading frame 33. The distance between the second support plate 342 and the first support plate 332 on the other side of the loading frame 33 is adjusted by the drive unit so that it is equal to the distance between the two side plates in the guide assembly 2 of the lower horizontal group. Then the vertical transmission assembly 32 is adjusted so that the second support plate 342 and the first support plate 332 on the other loading frame 33 are on the same horizontal plane. This can be used to place the cloth roll 6 with a shorter length of cloth roller 61 and convey it to the corresponding guide assembly 2.
[0033] The release mechanism 4 is arranged parallel to the guide rail 21. The release mechanism 4 includes a conveyor belt 41, a drive wheel 42, a driven wheel 43, and a power assembly 44. The drive wheel 42 and the driven wheel 43 are located at both ends of the frame 1 and are connected to the frame 1. The conveyor belt 41 is sleeved on the outer wall of the drive wheel 42 and the driven wheel 43. Multiple driven wheels 43 are also evenly spaced between the drive wheel 42 and the driven wheel 43 at both ends of the frame 1. The power assembly 44 drives the drive wheel 42 to rotate, and the drive wheel 42 drives the multiple driven wheels 43 to rotate together, so that the conveyor belt 41 is driven. The conveyor belt 41 is located below the fabric roll 6. Multiple baffles 45 of the same size are provided on the surface of the conveyor belt 41. The height of each baffle 45 is greater than the distance between the conveyor belt 41 and the fabric roll 61, so that the baffles 45 prevent the fabric roll 6 on the guide rail 21 from rolling. In this embodiment, the interval between two baffles 45 in the direction parallel to the release mechanism 4 is 50 cm. The distance from the baffle 45 on the same side of the frame 1 to the corresponding side plate is greater than the width of the guide rail 21 and less than the distance from the end of the fabric 62 on the same side to the corresponding side plate, so as to ensure that the baffle 45 contacts the fabric roller 61 but not the fabric 62, and avoid the baffle 45 scratching the fabric 62.
[0034] The receiving mechanism 5 includes two roller assemblies and a fixing plate 51. The fixing plate 51 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 and located below the release mechanism 4. The two roller assemblies are located on both sides of the front end of the frame 1, and each includes two parallel rotating wheels 52, a driver 53, and a blocking wheel 54. The driver 53 is used to adjust the distance between the two rotating wheels 52 so that the distance between the two rotating wheels 52 is greater than the diameter of the cloth roller 61, so that the cloth roller 61 can fall onto the fixing plate 51. In this embodiment, the driver 53 is connected to the end of one of the rotating wheels 52 closest to the frame. When the cloth roll 6 moves from the rear end of the frame 1 to the front end of the frame 1 and falls onto the roller assembly, the two ends of the cloth roller 61 are respectively located between the two rotating wheels 52 in the corresponding roller assembly. At the same time, the blocking wheel 54 also contacts the end of the cloth roller 61 to prevent the cloth roll 6 from falling off the roller assembly. In addition, the fixed plate 51 is inclined, and the horizontal height of one end near the cloth guiding mechanism 8 is greater than the horizontal height of the other end, so that after the empty cloth roller 61 falls onto the fixed plate 51, it can move from the front end of the frame 1 to the rear end of the frame 1 and be arranged in an orderly manner on the fixed plate 51.
[0035] The working process of the fabric inspection system in this embodiment is as follows: The lifting mechanism 3 is activated, moving the loading rack 33 to a height convenient for the worker to place the fabric roll 6 onto the loading rack 33. The lifting mechanism 3 is then closed, stopping at the target position. The worker places the fabric roll 6 on the loading rack 33, and the lifting mechanism 3 is activated again, raising or lowering it to the same horizontal height as one of the two sets of guide components 2. The lifting mechanism 3 is then closed. The worker manually pushes the fabric roll 6 gently, allowing it to enter the guide rail 21. Due to the inclined setting of the guide rail 21, the fabric roll 6 will roll forward on its own until it reaches the baffle 45 and is blocked by it. The release mechanism 4 is activated, causing the conveyor belt 41 to run, driving the baffle 45 forward, causing the fabric roll 6 to roll along the guide rail 21 towards the front end of the frame 1. This process is repeated until the fabric roll 6 is fully arranged on the guide rail 21 and regularly arranged from the front end to the rear end of the frame 1. When the release mechanism 4 is opened, the fabric roll 6 rolls forward until it falls onto the roller assembly. The two ends of the fabric roller 61 are respectively located between the two rotating wheels 52 of the corresponding roller assembly. The rotating wheels 52 rotate and drive the fabric roll 6 to rotate, so that the fabric 62 on the fabric roll 6 passes through the first drive shaft 83, the second drive shaft 84, and the third drive shaft 85 in sequence, and then passes through multiple guide rollers on the fabric inspection machine 7 to reach the working platform of the fabric inspection machine 7 for inspection. When the fabric 62 on a roll 6 is used up, the sensor 81 senses the fabric-out signal and transmits it to the control component 10. The control component 10 first commands the fabric inspection machine 7 to stop, preventing the end of the fabric 62 from slipping off the guide roller of the fabric inspection machine 7. Then, it commands the driver 53 on the roller assembly to start, increasing the distance between the two rollers 52. The empty fabric roller 61 falls from the gap between the two rollers 52 onto the fixed plate 51 below the release mechanism 4 and rolls from the front end of the frame 1 to the rear end of the frame 1 on the fixed plate 51, realizing the automatic recycling and storage of the empty fabric roller 61.
