Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a garment processing technology, in particular to an integrated and automated high-efficiency medical protective clothing production line. Background Art

[0002] Protective clothing includes firefighting, industrial, medical, military, and special personnel protective clothing. These garments are primarily used in industries and sectors such as firefighting, military, shipbuilding, petroleum, chemical, painting, cleaning and disinfection, and laboratories. These garments feature a structure that is impermeable, breathable, strong, and resistant to hydrostatic pressure. They are primarily used in industrial, electronic, medical, chemical, and bacterial protection environments.

[0003] Medical protective clothing refers to protective clothing used by medical personnel (doctors, nurses, public health workers, cleaning staff, etc.) and people entering specific medical and health areas (such as patients, hospital visitors, and people entering infected areas). Its function is to isolate pathogens, harmful ultrafine dust, acidic and alkaline solutions, electromagnetic radiation, etc., to ensure the safety of personnel and keep the environment clean.

[0004] As demand for medical protective clothing continues to grow, traditional manual production methods are no longer able to meet market demand. Many garment factories are facing a backlog of orders and are unable to meet delivery deadlines due to insufficient production capacity. Therefore, fully automated protective clothing production lines have become increasingly important.

[0005] Existing protective clothing production lines can meet basic production needs, but their level of integration is low, and many processes must be switched to different production lines, resulting in a low level of overall intelligence and automation.

[0059] In specific implementation, the fully automatic cuff ironing device in the cuff processing area E includes a feeding unit for providing elastic strips, a sleeve grabbing mechanism, and a cuff processing unit for ironing the sleeve cuff and the elastic strip together.

[0060] The fully automatic cuff pressing device in the cuff processing area E comprises a base frame 1 and a workbench 2; the first end of the workbench 2 is located above the top surface of the base frame 1;

[0061] The base frame 1 is provided with a feeding unit and a gantry 3; the feeding unit is used to provide elastic strips to be ironed together with the processed cuffs; the top of the gantry 3 is a guide rail 301; the guide rail 301 is provided with a cuff processing unit for receiving the elastic strips from the feeding unit and ironing the elastic strips together with the processed cuffs;

[0062] The middle part of the workbench 2 is a main conveyor belt 5, and two sides of the main conveyor belt 5 are respectively provided with an auxiliary conveyor belt 6;

[0063] The edge of the auxiliary conveyor belt 6 close to the main conveyor belt 5 is provided with a sleeve grabbing mechanism for grabbing sleeves;

[0064] The sleeve grabbing mechanism opens the opening of the sleeve and connects it with the elastic strip of the cuff processing unit, and the cuff processing unit irons the sleeve and the elastic strip together.

[0065] like Figure 6-10 The base frame 1 is a frame-like structure with two vertical rods and a horizontal rod disposed on its top surface. These two vertical rods and the horizontal rod form a gantry 3. The horizontal rod at the top of the gantry is configured as a guide rail 301. The cuff processing unit is located on the guide rail 301 and can move linearly along the length of the guide rail between the two vertical rods.

[0066] One end of the workbench is located between two uprights on the base frame, and the other end of the workbench is equipped with two legs. A conveyor belt is installed on the workbench to transfer protective clothing processed in the previous process to the workbench, where the cuff processing unit and sleeve grabbing mechanism cooperate to perform the cuff ironing operation.

[0067] In a specific implementation, the feeding unit includes two feeders 7 ; the two feeders 7 include a first feeder and a second feeder; the first feeder and the second feeder are respectively located at two ends of the base frame 1 .

[0068] The top of the two feeders is a feeding mechanical claw 701. There is an elastic strip on the feeding mechanical claw 701. The elastic strip is an elastic band commonly used on clothing, which has the characteristic of elastic stretchability. It is ironed together with the cuffs or the hem of the top to make the cuffs or the hem of the top stretchable. Figures 6-7 As shown, the first and second feeders are located near the two vertical poles on either side of the base frame, respectively, and are used to provide the elastic bands required for the cuffs to the two cuff processing mechanisms 4 of the cuff processing unit. The cuff processing unit receives the elastic bands from the first and second feeders and irons them onto the cuffs to form elastic cuffs with adjustable tightness.

[0069] In a specific implementation, the cuff processing unit includes two cuff processing mechanisms 4; the two cuff processing mechanisms 4 are respectively a first cuff processing mechanism and a second cuff processing mechanism; the first cuff processing mechanism and the second cuff processing mechanism are both mounted on the guide rail 301 and can move linearly along the length direction of the guide rail 301.

[0070] In a specific implementation, the housing 401 of the first cuff processing mechanism and the housing of the second cuff processing mechanism are both sleeved on the guide rail. The main body of the guide rail 301 is a quadrangular prism structure, and a guide body 3011 is provided on one side of the main body of the guide rail. The guide body is also a columnar structure and is an integrated structure with the main body of the guide rail. Figure 6 and 8 As shown, the guide body is provided with guide grooves on both the upper and lower sides. In view of the square structure of the guide rail and the guide grooves 30111 provided on the guide body, the housing of the first cuff processing mechanism and the second cuff processing mechanism can only move linearly along the guide rail and cannot rotate.

[0071] like Figure 10-12 A guide rail motor 8 is provided at one end of the guide rail 301, and a bearing seat 9 and a bearing are provided at the other end of the guide rail 301; the bearing is located inside the bearing seat 9. The output shaft of the guide rail motor is connected to a bidirectional screw 10, which passes through the housing 401 of the first cuff processing mechanism and the housing 401 of the second cuff processing mechanism, and is threadedly connected to the housing 401 of the first cuff processing mechanism and the housing 401 of the second cuff processing mechanism, forming two screw-nut pairs. The housing 401 of the first cuff processing mechanism and the housing of the second cuff processing mechanism are respectively on the threaded sections with opposite rotation directions at both ends of the bidirectional screw. Therefore, when the guide rail motor 8 is started, the forward and reverse rotation of the guide rail motor 8 causes the first cuff processing mechanism and the second cuff processing mechanism to move synchronously toward the center of the guide rail 301 or to both sides from the center.

[0072] In specific implementation, the cuff processing mechanism 4 includes a housing 401 , a guide rail 402 provided with a rack 4021 , and a guide rail driving motor 403 ; a hot pressing device is provided at the lower end of the guide rail 402 .

[0073] The guide rail rod 402 is movably connected to the housing 401. In practice, the guide rail rod 402 is inserted into the housing 401 via a slot and can move linearly along the slot in the vertical direction under the drive of the guide rail rod drive motor 403. A gear 4031 is provided at the output end of the guide rail rod drive motor 403, which meshes with a rack 4021 on the guide rail rod 402. When the guide rail drive motor 403 is activated, the drive gear 4031 rotates, driving the rack 4021. The rack 4021 and the guide rail rod 402 move together in the vertical direction.

[0074] In specific implementation, the ironing device includes a rotating shaft 404; a cylinder 405 is provided on the rotating shaft, the output end of the cylinder 405 is connected to a first connecting rod 406, the first connecting rod 406 is connected to a second connecting rod 407, and an electric soldering iron 408 is provided on the lower end of the second connecting rod.

[0075] like Figure 10 It is a three-dimensional diagram, and the rotating shaft 404 is provided with two symmetrically arranged cylinders 405. Figure 11 and Figure 12 yes Figure 10 The two opposite sides of the stereoscopic image in the figure show that the cylinder 405, the first connecting rod 406, the second connecting rod 407, and the electric soldering iron 408 are two symmetrically arranged structures. The cylinder 405 pulls the first connecting rod 406, which in turn drives the second connecting rod 407 and the electric soldering iron 408 on the second connecting rod 407. The first connecting rod 406 is a straight rod, one end of which is connected to the cylinder rod and the second end is connected to the second connecting rod 407. The second connecting rod 407 is U-shaped and includes three straight rods, the middle straight rod and the upper and lower straight rods being perpendicular to each other. One end of the third connecting rod 413 is connected to the rotating shaft 404, and the other end of the third connecting rod 413 is connected to the second connecting rod 407. The connecting rods are all hinged. The rotating shaft 404, first connecting rod 406, second connecting rod 407, and third connecting rod 413 form a planar four-bar linkage. Driven by a pneumatic cylinder, first connecting rod 406 drives second connecting rod 407 and the soldering iron 408 mounted thereon. The trajectory of movement is controlled by the stroke of the pneumatic cylinder. The soldering portion of the soldering iron 408 is arc-shaped, and when the two soldering irons 408 are engaged, they form a circle.

[0076] In a specific implementation, a second flange 409 is provided below the rotating shaft 404 ; and a material-taking mechanical claw 410 for taking the elastic strip is provided below the second flange 409 .

[0077] A first flange 411 is provided below the guide rail. The rotating shaft 404 is connected to the first flange 411 via a bearing, allowing the rotating shaft to rotate freely under the drive of the rotating shaft drive motor below. The first and second flanges are connected by two support rods 412. The rotating shaft drive motor 414 is located on the top surface of the second flange. The upper end of the rotating shaft 404 is connected to the first flange 411 via a bearing, while the lower end of the rotating shaft 404 is connected to the output of the rotating shaft drive motor 414 and driven by the rotating shaft drive motor 414. The retrieving mechanical claw 410 is located on the lower surface of the second flange. The retrieving mechanical claw 410 is used to retrieve the elastic bands from the feeding mechanical claws 701 of the first and second feeders. The multiple claws of the retrieving mechanical claw 410 and the feeding mechanical claw 701 form a cylindrical shape. The elastic band is shaped like a ring and is placed around the outer circumference of the retrieving mechanical claw. The processed cuff is then opened and placed over the elastic band. In one specific embodiment, the claws are formed into annular pieces with gaps between the multiple pieces, forming a cylindrical shape with a gap. When the claws of the material-retrieving mechanical claw 410 and the claws of the material-feeding mechanical claw 701 are aligned vertically, they can just fill the gaps between them, forming a complete cylinder. The claws can rotate and open outward. After the two electric soldering irons 408 are fastened together, the elastic band and the processed cuff 12011 are sandwiched between them and fastened together, ironing the elastic band and the processed cuff 12011 together to form an elastic cuff with adjustable tightness.

[0078] During specific implementation, the main conveyor belt is a vacuum adsorption conveyor belt; the auxiliary conveyor belt is a rope conveyor belt.

[0079] The main conveyor belt 5 of the present invention is preferably a vacuum adsorption conveyor belt, which adsorbs the main body of the protective suit 12 onto the transmission surface of the vacuum adsorption conveyor belt. The two sleeves 1201 of the protective suit 12 are located on the auxiliary conveyor belt 6. The auxiliary conveyor belt 6 is a rope conveyor belt, so it has no adsorption effect on the sleeves. Figure 13 and Figure 14 Each rope conveyor is provided with a sleeve grabbing mechanism for grabbing sleeves. The sleeve grabbing mechanism is arranged at the edge of the rope conveyor and can rotate around an axis at the edge under the drive of a driver, or lie down horizontally and be basically consistent with the transmission surface of the rope conveyor in a horizontal lying state, or stand up vertically and be substantially perpendicular to the transmission surface of the rope conveyor in a vertical standing state. The sleeve grabbing mechanism includes two vacuum adsorption grabbing claws 11. When the main body of the protective suit 12 moves toward the gantry along with the vacuum adsorption conveyor, the sleeves 1201 on both sides respectively enter between the two vacuum adsorption grabbing claws of the sleeve grabbing mechanisms on the two rope conveyors, and one sleeve 1201 is sucked by the sleeve grabbing mechanism of each rope conveyor. The two vacuum adsorption grabbing claws adsorb the sleeves and pull open the cuffs 12011, so that the cuffs 12011 are opened.

[0080] In a specific implementation, the sleeve grabbing mechanism includes two vacuum adsorption grabbing claws.

[0081] In a specific implementation, the portal frame includes two vertical rods and a horizontal rod; the horizontal rod is configured as the guide rail.

[0082] In a specific implementation, the guide rail 301 includes a guide rail body and a guide body 3011 , and the guide body 3011 is provided with a guide groove 30111 .

[0083] The guide rail body is a quadrangular prism structure, and the guide body 3011 is located on one side of the guide rail body. The guide body 3011 is also a columnar structure and is an integrated structure with the guide rail body. The upper surface and the lower surface of the guide body 3011 are both provided with guide grooves 30111. Figure 8 shown.

[0084] The invention comprises a feeding and cutting area A, a sleeve ironing area B, a comprehensive cutting area C, a body and belt ironing area D and a cuff processing area E, and completes different processes in each area to ultimately produce qualified protective clothing.

[0085] The present invention also discloses the production process of the integrated automated high-efficiency medical protective clothing production line. The production process workflow includes the following steps: Figure 15 This is a diagram of the processing changes of medical protective clothing in the production process of the present invention.

[0086] Step 1: Feeding the body material; In the feeding and cutting area A, the body material on the body material roll 13 is unwound, and the body material passes through the body material guide roller 14, the small negative pressure roller and the body conveying roller 15 in sequence, moving forward step by step at a constant speed, and finally stops when it reaches the bottom of the sleeve ironing area, preparing for the next step of ironing with the sleeve.

[0087] Step 2: Sleeve material feeding and cutting steps; In the feeding and cutting area A, the sleeve material on the sleeve material roll is unwound, and the sleeve material passes through the sleeve guide roller, the negative pressure small roller and the sleeve conveying roller in sequence, moving forward step by step at a constant speed, and finally stops when it reaches under the sleeve cutter; then the sleeve cutter moves quickly to cut the sleeve material, cuts out the trapezoidal sleeve, and continues to move forward, finally reaching the sleeve ironing area and stopping just above the body material.

[0088] Step 3: Ironing the sleeves to the body. In sleeve ironing area B, when the trapezoidal sleeve 1201 reaches directly above the body, it lies directly below the sleeve conveyor track 19. The sleeve suction cup control cylinder controls the vacuum cup 21 to move downward and absorb the trapezoidal sleeve. The translation mechanism 20 then moves the trapezoidal sleeve to the designated ironing position on the left or right side of the body. The sleeve suction cup control cylinder controls the vacuum cup to move downward again to the designated position, then lowers the trapezoidal sleeve 1201. The sleeve ironing system 22 then irons the sleeve to the body together. The ironing process for the sleeve on the other side of the body is similar. After ironing the sleeves to the body, the protective suit 12 is completed. The protective suit 12 consists of the body and two sleeves 1201. At this point, the body is still connected to the body material roll 13 and has not been disconnected; only two sleeves have been added to this portion of the sleeve ironing area B. After the ironing of the two sleeves is completed, the main body of the protective suit 12 continues to move forward driven by the conveyor belt until the main body of the protective suit 12 reaches the predetermined cutting position of the integrated cutting area C.

[0089] Step 4: collar and seam cutting step; in the integrated cutting area C, when the protective clothing 12 body is moving, nearly half of the protective clothing 12 body passes through the integrated cutter 23, the integrated cutter moves horizontally ( Figure 1 Y direction in the middle) and the horizontal direction of the garment body ( Figure 1 The integrated cutter 23 is then placed on the central axis of the conveyor belt. When the body of the protective suit 12 moves forward, the integrated cutter 23 cuts a seam on the body. After the body moves a predetermined length L, the seam is also cut by the predetermined length L. Then, the body movement is paused, and the integrated cutter 23 cuts the body horizontally. At this time, the body is still disconnected from the body material roll 13.

[0090] Step 5: Body folding step; after the body of the protective suit 12 is cut off in the integrated cutting area C, the body of the protective suit 12 is disconnected from the material of the body material roll 13. Since there is a laterally extending drooping notch 25 between the integrated cutting area C and the tape ironing area D, a part of the body droops along the drooping notch, and the drooping part 1203 of the body droops naturally under the action of its own weight. At this time, the body folding clamp 24 clamps the entire body from the elliptical central axis part of the elliptical neckline 1202, and then the long strip of body folding clamp 24 continues to move forward in the longitudinal direction. The body clamped by the body folding clamp 24 is folded up under the obstruction of the drooping notch 25. When the body is folded in half, the drooping part is completely pulled out, and the body folding is completed;

[0091] Step 6: Ironing the edges of the garment body; in the ironing area D for the garment body and the belt, the garment body folding clamp 24 is opened, and the garment body is pulled directly under the garment body ironing system 27. The garment body ironing system 27 moves downward under the action of the garment body ironing cylinder to iron the edges of the garment body on both sides.

[0092] Step 7: Tape Ironing Step: In the tape ironing area D, the tape ironing vacuum cup 32 is opened to hold the main body of the protective suit 12. As the tape ironing cylinder moves upward, the garment body is opened along its centerline, exposing the tape ironing points inside. The tape material passes through multiple limiting rods 30 and enters the entrance above the tape material processor 33. When the tape material protrudes approximately 1 cm from the discharge port of the tape material processor 33, the tape clamp 31 on the tape transport roller 28 clamps the protruding end of the tape material. The discharge port of the tape material processor 33 is located on the side closest to the tape transport roller 28.

[0093] The belt conveying roller 28 rotates counterclockwise, and the belt clamp 31 on the belt conveying roller 28 clamps the stretched belt, and under the traction of the belt conveying roller 28, the belt material is wound around the support rod of the belt conveying roller 28; after the belt material reaches the specified position (about half a circle), the cutting knife in the belt material processor 33 cuts the belt material; the belt ironing device 29 moves down, irons the cut belt material to the belt ironing point of the garment body, and at the same time, the belt clamp 31 is loosened, the belt ironing vacuum suction cup 32 is closed and stops suction, and the belt falls off the belt conveying roller 28; after the belt ironing is completed, the protective suit 12 body continues to move forward and arrives at the cuff processing area E; in specific implementation, two belt clamps 31 are provided on the belt conveying roller 28, and the two belt clamps 31 are located at the two ends of the diameter of the belt conveying roller 28, and the two belt clamps 31 take turns to clamp the belt material sent by the belt clamp 31.

[0094] Step 8: Sleeve ironing step; in the cuff processing area E, as shown in Figure 6-14 Before starting work, all components of the fully automatic cuff pressing device must first be reset. The specific process of the reset steps is as follows:

[0095] Reset step S1: After the two cylinders 405 on either side of the rotating shaft 404 are activated, they push the four first connecting rods 406 downward. Each cylinder 405 pushes two first connecting rods 406, and the first connecting rods 406 push the second connecting rods 407, causing the two soldering irons 408 to move away from each other and then open. At the same time, the mechanical claw 410 below the second flange 409 is retracted. The guide motor 8 on the guide rail 301 reverses and drives the bidirectional screw 10, causing the two cuff processing mechanisms to move toward the bidirectional screw 10 and the ends of the guide rail until the axis of the two cuff processing machines coincides with the axis of the two feeders. At this time, the axis of the material removal mechanical claw 410 also coincides with the axis of the feeding mechanical claw 701.

[0096] Resetting step S2: At the same time, the two sleeve grabbing mechanisms on the two rope conveyors are rotated so that the two sleeve grabbing mechanisms are in a horizontal lying state, that is, the four vacuum adsorption grabbing claws 11 are all in a horizontal state. Figure 1-3 In the embodiment, the two sleeve grabbing mechanisms are in an upright position, that is, the four vacuum grabbing claws 11 are all in an upright position. At this time, there is a gap between the two pairs of vacuum grabbing claws 11, that is, the two vacuum grabbing claws of each sleeve grabbing mechanism form a grabbing opening, and the opening of the grabbing opening is exactly facing the direction of the protective suit 12, so that the sleeve of the protective suit can just enter the grabbing opening.

[0097] The formal working process of the fully automatic cuff pressing device includes the following steps:

[0098] Step S01: Elastic Band Retrieval Step: After the guide rail drive motor 403 is activated, it rotates forward, driving the gear 4031 to rotate. This drives the guide rail 402 downward, and the elastic band is placed on the feeding claw 701. At this point, the retrieving claw 410 and the feeding claw 701 are aligned vertically. The elastic band fits neatly on the outer circumference of the cylinder formed by the upper and lower claws of the retrieving claw 410 and the feeding claw 701. The retrieving claw 410 opens its claws to remove the elastic band from the feeding claw 701.

[0099] Step S02: Moving the cuff processing mechanisms to the processing position: The guide rail drive motor 403 rotates in the reverse direction, driving the gear 4031 to rotate. Gear 4031 then drives the guide rail 402 upward to a pre-specified position, after which the guide rail drive motor 403 stops. The guide rail motor 8 then rotates forward, driving the bidirectional lead screw 10, causing the two cuff processing mechanisms to move to the designated position between the bidirectional lead screw 10 and the guide rail. At this designated position, the centerline of the retrieving mechanical claw 410 coincides with the centerline of the cuff opening being processed.

[0100] Step S03: The cuff being processed is moved to the processing position. Simultaneously with step S02, the vacuum conveyor belt, acting as the main conveyor belt 5, transports the protective suit 12 to a pre-designated position and then stops. At this position, the left sleeve of the protective suit 12 is positioned between the two vacuum grippers 11 of the sleeve gripping mechanism on the left auxiliary conveyor belt 6, and the right sleeve of the protective suit 12 is positioned between the two vacuum grippers 11 of the sleeve gripping mechanism on the right auxiliary conveyor belt 6. In other words, the left and right sleeves fit neatly within the gripping openings of the left and right sleeve gripping mechanisms. The vacuum grippers 11 grasp the outer surface of the cuff being processed and then pull it apart, opening the cuff 12011. The vacuum grippers 11 then rotate 90°, positioning the opening of the cuff 12011 upward, aligned vertically with the pick-up gripper 410. The centerline of the pick-up gripper 410 coincides with the centerline of the opening of the cuff 12011.

[0101] Step S04: Ironing the cuff with the elastic band. The guide rail drive motor 403 rotates forward, driving the gear 4031. This drives the guide rail 402 downward, causing the elastic band to be placed on the feeding claw 701. The feeding claw 701 moves downward to a designated position, where the elastic band on the feeding claw 701 fits neatly within the opening of the cuff 12011 being processed. The elastic band aligns with the inner surface of the cuff 12011 where the elastic band is to be added. Two cylinders located on either side of the rotating shaft 404 move upward, pulling the four first connecting rods 406 upward. These first connecting rods 406 pull the second connecting rods 407, which in turn move upward. As the second connecting rods 407 move upward, the two soldering irons 408 below them engage. Once engaged, the two soldering irons 408 clamp the outer surface of the cuff 12011, aligning the elastic band with the desired location. At this point, the arc-shaped inner surface of the soldering iron 408 is in contact with the cuff 12011 being processed. The shaft drive motor 414 then rotates the shaft 404 forward by a predetermined angle O, and then reverses by the same angle O, thereby driving the soldering iron 408 to rotate, thereby uniformly heating and ironing the elastic band sandwiched between the feeding mechanical claw 701 and the arc-shaped inner surface of the soldering iron 408 and the cuff 12011 being processed.

[0102] Step S05: Ironing is complete. The two cylinders 405 push the four first connecting rods 406 downward again. The first connecting rods 406 push the second connecting rods 407, causing the two soldering irons 408 to move away from each other and open, thereby removing the arc-shaped soldering irons 408 from the ironing area. The guide rod drive motor 403 rotates in the reverse direction, driving the gear 4031 to rotate. Gear 4031 drives the guide rod 402 upward to return to its original position.

[0103] The guide rail motor 8 reverses and drives the bidirectional screw rod 10 again, so that the two cuff processing mechanisms move toward the ends of the bidirectional screw rod 10 and the guide rails, until the axis lines of the two cuff processing machines coincide with the axis lines of the two feeders respectively, that is, the two cuff processing mechanisms return to the reset state.

[0104] The vacuum adsorption grabbing claw 11 of the sleeve grabbing mechanism on the auxiliary conveyor belt 6 stops adsorption and releases the processed cuff 12011.

[0105] After the two sleeve grabbing mechanisms release the processed cuffs 12011, they rotate toward the oval neckline of the protective suit 12 body at the same time. At this time, the two sleeves fall on the protective suit 12 body after staggering, and the two sleeves are folded just in front of the chest of the protective suit 12 body.

[0106] The main conveyor belt 5 transports the finished protective suit 12 to the next workstation, where it then moves forward until it lands in the storage device. The two sleeve gripping mechanisms then return to their reset positions, with all four vacuum gripping claws 11 positioned horizontally. This completes a full ironing cycle.

[0107] The integrated automated high-efficiency medical protective clothing production line and production process thereof of the present invention have the following characteristics.

[0108] 1. In the feeding and cutting area A of the present invention, the feeding parts of the body, sleeves, and belts are all guided by an array of multiple rollers. Through the spatial limitation characteristics of multiple transmission rollers, the body, sleeves, belts and other materials will not wrinkle during the feeding process and will be smoother, which plays a certain plastic role. At the same time, it can reduce the probability of the body, sleeves, belts and other materials getting stuck due to material retention.

[0109] 2. The sleeve cutter part adopts double fixed oblique knives for moving cutting, which has strong cutting stability and ensures the neatness of the cut surface. At the same time, the blade of the sleeve cutter can perform two cuts back and forth along the track, which can increase the cutting speed and ensure the sleeve feeding rate. At the same time, the blade is easy to install, simple to disassemble and easy to maintain.

[0110] 3. In the sleeve ironing area B and cuff processing area E of the present invention, the sleeve suction cup control cylinder and the two cylinders 405 all adopt dual in-line horizontal-vertical movable cylinders, which serve as carriers of H-shaped vacuum suction cups and cuff elastic band installers. They can move arbitrarily within a two-dimensional fixed interval in a fixed plane, have strong power, high positioning accuracy, and high speed, and can efficiently transfer the sleeves to the specified position of the body and accurately install the elastic band on the cuff, making it convenient to iron the sleeves and cuff elastic bands.

[0111] 4. The feeding and cutting area A and the sleeve ironing area B of the present invention adopt a double-layer structure, with the upper layer being used for sleeve processing and the lower layer being used for garment body processing, and the two layers do not interfere with each other; when the sleeves are ironed, the upper sleeves enter the lower layer and are placed together with the garment body, which has the capability of simultaneous processing and improves the overall operating speed of the production line.

[0112] 5. The integrated cutting area C of the present invention is used for integrated cutting of protective clothing. The integrated cutter is placed in the middle of the integrated cutting area C to ensure that the length of the reserved area for cutting is appropriate, while reducing the lateral interference between the cutter and other components. The integrated cutter utilizes the relative displacement relationship. The blade of the integrated cutter can move in one dimension in a direction perpendicular to the conveying track of the garment body, while the garment body moves forward. The two constitute a synthetic movement, which can cut out the collar and the garment body opening in turn, and finally cut off the garment body. One knife can be used for multiple purposes, saving space and reducing the complexity of mechanical movement. The coordination effect of the drooping notch and the long strip of garment body folding fixture is utilized to create a spatial folding position, and the flexible garment body is cleverly folded using spatial limitations, thereby improving efficiency, saving manpower, and facilitating the ironing of the garment edges in the later stage.

[0113] 6. The garment body and belt ironing area D of the present invention utilizes a Ferris wheel-type circular conveying structure as a belt transmission roller to install belts, providing reliable support while ensuring that the length of the belt meets the requirements; multiple cylinders are arranged in a triangle to provide power drive for the garment body ironing, ensuring the ironing strength and improving the ironing stability.

[0114] 7. In the cuff processing area E of the present invention, the conveyor platform is slightly higher than the initial height of the lower vacuum adsorption grabbing claw 11 of the two vacuum adsorption grabbing claws 11 of the sleeve grabbing mechanism, and at the same time slightly lower than the initial height of the upper vacuum adsorption grabbing claw 11, that is, the right sleeve of the protective suit 12 is just located between the upper and lower vacuum adsorption grabbing claws 11 of the sleeve grabbing mechanism on the right auxiliary conveyor belt 6, ensuring that the sleeve can just enter the middle of the two vacuum adsorption grabbing claws 11 and be attracted as the conveyor platform moves. The staggered vacuum suction method is used to open the cuff in the cuff elastic band installation structure, and the contact area between the suction cup and the cuff material is increased by the staggered distribution of the two semicircular vacuum adsorption grabbing claws 11, thereby strengthening the suction effect of the vacuum adsorption grabbing claw 11 on the thin cuff to quickly open the sleeve, providing sufficient space for the installation of the cuff elastic band, and high efficiency. The sleeve gripping mechanism comprises a pair of vacuum gripping claws that can be opened and closed. These claws work together to stably grasp the cuff being processed, precisely positioning and fully opening the sleeve so that it can accurately engage the cuff-handling mechanism and complete the ironing process. This simple, efficient, and precise process effectively and quickly irons the cuff to the elastic band, replacing traditional manual ironing methods and significantly improving production efficiency and economic benefits. The horizontal movement of the cuff-handling mechanism is driven by a stepper motor and a bidirectional lead screw-nut assembly, ensuring high control precision and accurate movement. A pneumatic cylinder controls the swing amplitude of the connecting rod connecting the arc-shaped soldering iron. The cylinder's output force is high and stable, and its operating environment is moderate. It operates effectively in both high and low temperatures, adapting to a wide range of harsh environments. Furthermore, the cylinder is simple to install and easy to operate. The overall structure of the cuff processing area E, composed of various components, is simple and refined, and can accurately and reliably complete the ironing action, thereby improving the ironing efficiency of the protective clothing cuffs.

[0115] 8. The material production line of the present invention adopts a negative pressure small roller mode for plane transportation. There are multiple rows of parallel small rollers on the transportation platform. Negative air pressure is created under the transportation platform, so that the body and sleeves of the garment are in close contact with the small rollers, thereby increasing the positive pressure and improving the friction. When the negative pressure small rollers rotate in coordination, they can drive the body and sleeves to move forward. At the same time, the stability is higher, and the possibility of the material being separated from the production line by external force when operating the material is lower.
