Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of garment production technology, and in particular to a rapid sorting production line for garment production. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing is a general term for clothes, shoes, accessories, etc. It is a product worn on the human body to protect and decorate. Clothing is a necessity of life for covering the body and decorating. It is not only for wearing, but also a status, a lifestyle, and a way to show personal charm. However, in actual use, it still has the following drawbacks: Most of the existing automatic clothing sorting systems are used in larger clothing factories. Some smaller clothing factories often use more staff to sort clothing, which takes more time, has a longer production period, and a larger workload, which greatly increases the cost of the device.

[0003] Meanwhile, in this solution, the same separation component is used to separate clothing packages of all sizes. When small clothing packages are separated individually using a wider separation component, there is a problem of wasted resources and reduced separation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0049] As an improvement, the first conveying component includes:

[0050] The mounting component is connected to the upper end of the hinged joints on both sides of the first scissor mechanism;

[0051] The first conveying roller is rotatably connected to the mounting component.

[0053] As an improvement, the rotary conveying assembly includes:

[0054] A fixed disc, on the upper surface of which are provided multiple second conveyor rollers;

[0055] The second conveyor is used to convey garment packages onto a fixed plate. One end of the second conveyor is rotatably connected to the fixed plate, and the other end is connected to a storage conveyor assembly or a telescopic conveyor assembly.

[0056] As an improvement, the telescopic conveyor assembly includes:

[0061] As an improvement, the lower part of the material conveying assembly is provided with a telescopic support.

[0062] The telescopic support is positioned between the first mounting frame and the walking assembly.

[0063] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0064] 1. This invention uses a walking component to move and drive a shovel to scoop up multiple garment packages on the ground. After the walking component changes its direction, the rotary conveyor component will automatically and adaptively adjust the direction of the storage conveyor component and the tilting shovel. The shovel drive component drives the shovel to rotate and place the scooped garment packages on the first section of the first conveyor belt for temporary storage. The first conveyor belt, which is in the conveying state, gradually transports the garment packages temporarily stored in the first section to the second section and then from the second section to the rotary conveyor component or the telescopic conveyor component. This realizes that the shovel unit automatically scoops up the garment packages on the ground and transports them to the rotary conveyor component or the telescopic conveyor component, reducing the labor intensity of manual handling of garment packages and improving the handling efficiency of garment packages.

[0065] 2. This invention classifies multiple garment packages by a classification component and simultaneously transports each classified garment package in different directions by a transfer component, thereby achieving rapid classification and transport of multiple garment packages delivered at one time and improving the efficiency of subsequent sorting, sequencing and individual separation of garment packages.

[0066] 3. The present invention drives one of the rotating drums to rotate through a drum drive component. This rotating drum drives the other rotating drums to rotate in sequence through a flexible coupling. The rotating drum drives the sleeve to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the sleeves in four directions on the pentagonal rod. This enables the garment packages delivered to the sorting unit to be quickly dispersed and transported in multiple directions with only one power source.

[0067] 4. This invention uses a first plate to block and screen out large garment packages, a second plate to block and screen out medium-sized garment packages, and a third plate to block and screen out small garment packages. By setting the middle of the first plate to an arc-shaped structure, the garment packages are diverted and conveyed at the arc-shaped structure, reducing or preventing garment packages from getting stuck in the middle of the first and second plates. By setting a rotating rod to block large garment packages that are lower than the lower end of the second plate and have a larger width, large garment packages are reduced or prevented from being classified as small garment packages. The rotating rod is driven by a motor to prevent garment packages from getting stuck at the rotating rod. By setting the third plate to an "eight"-shaped structure, all small garment packages are conveyed in one direction, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent single-piece separation of garment packages.

[0068] 5. This invention improves the utilization rate of individual garment packs by classifying and conveying garment packs of different sizes. Large, medium, and small garment packs use individual separation units that match the width of their respective garment packs. This solves the problem of resource waste caused by using wider individual separation units in the prior art that do not differentiate between garment pack sizes and require individual separation of each piece.

[0069] 6. By vertically and parallelly arranging the second scissor mechanism, the telescopic conveying assembly can achieve both extension and retraction in the length direction and bending in the vertical direction. By setting a third conveying roller at the upper end of the second scissor mechanism, the garment package on the storage conveying assembly can be easily conveyed to the rotary conveying assembly, and the range of motion of the shovel unit can be increased, further improving the practicality of the shovel unit.

[0070] In summary, the present invention has the advantages of simple structure, high degree of automation, and high efficiency in separating individual garment wrappers. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0086] Example 1

[0087] like Figure 1-12 As shown, this embodiment provides a rapid sorting production line for garment production, including:

[0088] A shovel unit 1 for shoveling and conveying garment packages;

[0089] Classification unit 2 is connected to shovel unit 1 and receives and classifies the garment packages conveyed by shovel unit 1.

[0090] The single-piece separation unit 3 is connected to the classification unit 2 and receives various clothing packages separated by the classification unit 2 for single-piece separation.

[0091] The shovel unit 1 includes:

[0092] A rotary conveyor assembly 11 is connected to the sorting unit 2.

[0093] The storage conveying assembly 12 is used to temporarily store garment packages and convey the temporarily stored garment packages to the rotary conveying assembly 11. The storage conveying assembly 12 is connected to the rotary conveying assembly 11.

[0094] The flipping shovel 13 is used to scoop up clothing packages on the ground and flip them to the storage and conveying assembly 12. The flipping shovel 13 is rotatably connected to one end of the storage and conveying assembly 12.

[0095] In this implementation, by setting up a material shoveling unit 1, a sorting unit 2, and a single-piece separation unit 3, the actions of each processing step will automatically coordinate and cooperate after the equipment is put into production, eliminating the need for debugging before or during production. Moreover, the sorting process can be controlled by a single button switch, without the need for separate control, which simplifies production operations. The functional areas are clearly divided, each performing its own function, improving production efficiency, and significantly improving the sorting effect for different garments.

[0096] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the material conveying assembly 12 includes:

[0097] First mounting bracket 121;

[0098] The first conveyor belt 122 includes a first section 1221, an inclined section 1222, and a second section 1223 that is higher than the first section 1221, and the first conveyor belt 122 is connected to the first mounting frame 121.

[0099] The walking component 123 is connected to the first mounting bracket 121, and the lower end of the walking component 123 is flush with the lower end of the tilting shovel 13.

[0100] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the tilting shovel 13 includes:

[0101] The shovel plate 131 is rotatably connected to the first mounting frame 121 and is set to be in contact with the ground.

[0102] The shovel drive 132 is used to drive the shovel plate 131 to rotate and flip the shoveled garment package onto the storage and conveying assembly 12. The shovel drive 132 is connected to the first mounting frame 121. The shovel drive 132 is a first servo motor, which is driven by meshing with one end of the shovel plate 131 through a first gear.

[0103] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a first camera 124, a first sensor, and a smart computer 125 are provided on the first mounting bracket 121; the first camera 124, the first sensor, and the smart computer 125 are connected by signals, and the first camera 124, the first sensor, and the smart computer 125 are powered by a power supply provided on the first mounting bracket 121.

[0104] It should be noted that both the camera and the Smart Computer 125 are currently available products on the market, and will not be discussed further here.

[0105] Furthermore, the material shoveling unit 1, the sorting unit 2, and the single-piece separation unit 3 are all controlled by the intelligent computer 125.

[0106] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shovel unit 1 also includes a telescopic conveyor assembly 14;

[0107] The telescopic conveyor 14, which is used to adjust the distance between the storage conveyor 12 and the rotary conveyor 11 and to convey the garment package between the two, is connected at both ends to the storage conveyor 12 and the rotary conveyor 11, respectively.

[0108] By providing a retractable telescopic conveyor assembly 14, the range of motion of the tilting shovel 13 can be easily increased.

[0109] It should be noted that the first camera 124 captures images of the environment in front of the tilting shovel 13 and transmits the signals to the intelligent computer 125. The first sensor detects obstacles or the walking distance and speed and transmits the signals to the intelligent computer 125. After receiving the information, the intelligent computer 125 controls the walking speed and direction of the walking component 123 so that the tilting shovel 13 can always pick up clothing packages on the ground. The intelligent computer 125, in conjunction with the first camera 124 and the first sensor, controls the walking speed and direction of the walking component 123, which is existing technology. For example, autonomous vehicles can automatically control their walking direction and speed, and this will not be discussed further here.

[0110] It should be further explained that the walking component 123 walks and drives the shovel plate 131 to scoop up multiple garment packages on the ground. After the walking component 123 changes its walking direction, the rotary conveyor component 11 will automatically and adaptively adjust the direction of the storage conveyor component 12 and the tilting shovel 13. The shovel drive component 132 drives the shovel plate 131 to rotate and place the scooped garment packages on the first section 1221 of the first conveyor belt 122 for temporary storage. The first conveyor belt 122, which is in the conveying state, gradually conveys the garment packages temporarily stored in the first section 1221 to the second section 1223 and then from the second section 1223 to the rotary conveyor component 11 or the telescopic conveyor component 14. This realizes that the shovel unit 1 automatically scoops up the garment packages on the ground and transports them to the rotary conveyor component 11 or the telescopic conveyor component 14, reducing the labor intensity of manual handling of garment packages and improving the handling efficiency of garment packages.

[0111] Furthermore, such as Figure 6-10 As shown, the classification unit 2 includes: a first frame 21;

[0112] The sorting component 22 is used to sort the garment packages conveyed by the rotary conveyor component 11. The sorting component 22 is connected to the first frame 21.

[0113] Second rack 23;

[0114] The material transfer assembly 24 is used to transfer the garment packages conveyed by the rotary conveyor assembly 11 to multiple directions and to cooperate with the sorting assembly 22 to sort the garment packages. The material transfer assembly 24 is connected to the second frame 23.

[0115] It should be noted that the sorting component 22 sorts the multiple garment packages that are delivered, and the transfer component 24 transports the sorted garment packages in different directions to achieve rapid sorting and transport of multiple garment packages delivered at one time, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent sorting, sequencing and individual separation of garment packages.

[0116] Furthermore, such as Figure 7-8 As shown, the sorting component 22 includes multiple baffles 221 connected to the first frame 21, which are used to block the conveyed garment packages according to different sizes to achieve sorting. The lower ends of the multiple baffles 221 are arranged from high to low in the direction in which the garment packages are conveyed, and each baffle 221 is oriented towards the moving direction of the corresponding material transfer component 24.

[0117] It should be noted that by setting multiple baffles 221 with different lower heights, clothing packages of different heights can be classified and guided to be transported in different directions.

[0118] Most taller garment packages are larger in volume; otherwise, vertically placed garment packages would tip over and pass under the corresponding baffle 221 after encountering the baffle 221 component. Through the coarse screening by multiple baffles 221, large garment packages can be classified and transported, medium-sized garment packages can be classified and transported, and small garment packages can be classified and transported. The height of the baffle 221 is set according to actual needs.

[0119] Furthermore, such as Figure 9-10 As shown, multiple material transfer components 24 are provided, and the multiple material transfer components 24 are of different sizes and are nested together; the material transfer component 24 includes: a third frame 241; and a polygonal rod 242;

[0120] Multiple rotating cylinders 243 are fitted onto the polygonal rod 242;

[0121] Flexible coupling 244 is used for transmission and connection between two adjacent rotating drums 243;

[0122] Sleeve 245 rotates with rotating cylinder 243 and is sleeved on the outside of rotating cylinder 243 and connected to rotating cylinder 243.

[0123] The cylinder drive component 246 drives the rotating cylinder 243 to rotate and is connected to the third frame 241.

[0124] Furthermore, the flexible coupling 244 includes:

[0125] Ball head 2441;

[0126] A missing spherical shell 2442 is fitted over the ball head 2441;

[0127] The first telescopic rod 2443 has one end connected to the ball head 2441 and the other end connected to the rotating drum 243;

[0128] The second telescopic rod 2444 has one end connected to the missing spherical shell 2442 and the other end connected to another corresponding rotating drum 243. The rotating drum 243 rotates to drive the first telescopic rod 2443 and the second telescopic rod 2444 to rotate around the axial direction of the polygonal rod 242. The first telescopic rod 2443 and the second telescopic rod 2444 adapt to the extension and retraction and are always connected through the ball head 2441 and the missing spherical shell 2442 to realize the rotation of one of the rotating drums 243 and transmit the power to the adjacent rotating drum 243.

[0129] As an improvement, the gaps at the upper ends of multiple nested transfer components 24 of different sizes are filled with flat plates to facilitate the transport of garment packages on the transfer components 24. The flat plates are not shown in the figure and should not interfere with the operation of the transfer components 24.

[0130] It should be noted that the cylinder drive component 246 is a servo motor, and the polygonal rod 242 is quadrilateral, pentagonal, or hexagonal; in this case, the polygonal rod 242 is a pentagonal rod, and the rotating cylinder 243, flexible coupling 244, and sleeve 245 are not installed on the side of the pentagonal rod adjacent to the rotating conveying assembly 11.

[0131] One of the rotating drums 243 is driven to rotate by the drum drive 246. The rotating drum 243 drives the other rotating drums 243 to rotate in sequence through the flexible coupling 244. The rotating drum 243 drives the sleeve 245 to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the sleeves 245 in the four directions on the pentagonal rod. By setting multiple material transfer components 24 of different sizes and nested arrangement, the garment packages delivered to the sorting unit 2 can be quickly dispersed and transported in four directions.

[0132] A driven roller 247 is provided on the side of the outermost sleeve 245, and a conveyor belt 248 is provided between the sleeve 245 and the driven roller 247.

[0133] Furthermore, such as Figure 7-8 As shown, the baffle 221 includes:

[0134] The first plate 2211, the second plate 2212, and the third plate 2213 are arranged in the direction from which the garment package is conveyed and with their lower ends decreasing in height;

[0135] The middle part of the first plate 2211 and the second plate 2212 are both arc-shaped structures, and the direction of the arc-shaped structure protrusion is opposite to the direction of the garment wrapping component conveying.

[0136] A rotating rod 2214 is vertically arranged at the arc-shaped structure of the second plate 2212;

[0137] The third plate 2213 has two plates arranged in a figure-eight shape.

[0138] It should be noted that the first plate 2211 is used to block and screen out large garment packages, the second plate 2212 is used to block and screen out medium-sized garment packages, and the third plate 2213 is used to block and screen out small garment packages. By setting the middle of the first plate 2211 to an arc-shaped structure, the garment packages are diverted and conveyed at the arc-shaped structure, reducing or preventing garment packages from getting stuck in the middle of the first plate 2211 and the second plate 2212. By setting a rotating rod 2214 to block large garment packages that are lower than the lower end of the second plate 2212 and have a larger width, large garment packages are reduced or prevented from being classified as small garment packages. The rotating rod 2214 is driven by a motor to prevent garment packages from getting stuck at the rotating rod 2214. By setting the third plate 2213 to an "eight"-shaped structure, all small garment packages are conveyed in one direction, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent single-piece separation of garment packages.

[0139] By categorizing garment packages into large, medium, and small sizes, the previous method of separating and transporting garment packages one by one has been improved. Previously, the conveyor channels for garment packages were wider, requiring only a channel matching the width of the small garment package, while using the same channel as the large garment package resulted in resource waste. Therefore, this invention categorizes garment packages of different sizes for individual transport, with large, medium, and small garment packages each using a separate separation unit 3 that matches their respective width, thereby improving the utilization rate of the separate separation unit 3 for individually transporting garment packages.

[0140] It should be noted that the rotary conveyor assembly 11 intermittently and rapidly drives the garment package on the rotary conveyor assembly 11, so that the garment package intermittently rushes towards the baffle 221. When the first plate 2211 and the second plate 2212 do not block the garment package, the garment package will directly rush towards the third plate 2213. During the time interval between each time the garment package rushes towards the baffle 221, all or most of the garment package left at the baffle 221 is dispersed and separated by the material transfer assembly 24. Moreover, the frequency of the material scooping unit 1 picking up the garment package each time is consistent with the frequency of the rotary conveyor assembly 11 driving the garment package towards the baffle 221.

[0141] Example 2

[0142] like Figure 1-12 As shown, components that are the same as or corresponding to those in Embodiment 1 are referred to using the same reference numerals as in Embodiment 1. For simplicity, only the differences from Embodiment 1 are described below. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the single-piece separation unit 3 includes:

[0143] The first scissor mechanism 31 is set horizontally, and its middle part in the width direction is a movable hinge;

[0144] The first traveling wheel 32 is located at the lower end of the hinge joint on both sides of the first scissor mechanism 31;

[0145] The first conveying assembly 33 is connected to the hinged joints on both sides of the first scissor mechanism 31. The first conveying assembly 33 includes a first conveying roller 331. Multiple first conveying rollers 331 with different rotation speeds are used to cooperate in conveying single garment packages.

[0146] Furthermore, such as Figure 11-12 As shown, the first conveying assembly 33 includes:

[0147] The mounting component is connected to the upper end of the hinged joints on both sides of the first scissor mechanism 31;

[0148] The first conveying roller 331 is rotatably connected to the mounting component.

[0149] The first scissor mechanism 31 has a slider 311 in the middle, and a sliding groove is provided in the slider 311. The first scissor mechanism 31 includes a first scissor plate 312 and a second scissor plate 313. The first scissor plate 312 and the second scissor plate 313 are hinged in the middle by the slider 311. The first scissor plate 312 and the second scissor plate 313 have a groove on their opposite sides, and a ball is provided in the groove. The groove and the ball facilitate better relative sliding and limiting of the first scissor plate 312 and the second scissor plate 313.

[0150] Furthermore, the first traveling wheel 32 is a swivel wheel.

[0151] It should be noted that by setting the first scissor mechanism 31 horizontally and using the slider 311 to achieve the movable hinge in the middle of the first scissor mechanism 31, the single-piece separation unit 3 can be both length-adjustable and bendable, thus facilitating the reasonable placement of the single-piece separation unit 3 according to the actual working environment and improving the ease of use and practicality of the single-piece separation unit 3.

[0152] Furthermore, the single-piece separation unit 3 also includes multiple No. 1 motors, which drive a portion of the first conveyor rollers 331 to rotate in order to adjust the rotational speed of the corresponding first conveyor rollers 331. The speed difference between the front and rear first conveyor rollers 331 is used to achieve single-piece separation of the conveyed garment packages. The first scissor mechanism 31 is also equipped with a second camera 34, which is connected to the intelligent computer 125. The second camera 34 is used to photograph the garment package number on the garment package that has been separated and conveyed, including photographing the front, back, left, right, and top of the garment package. In the downward direction, since there is a hollow gap between the adjacent first conveyor rollers 331 of the single-piece separation unit 3, when the garment package passes through two adjacent first conveyor rollers 331, the garment package number can also be exposed to the shooting direction of the second camera 34 with the garment package facing downward. Therefore, the second camera 34 can capture the garment package number of the garment package from all directions. When the garment package number is not captured, the intelligent computer 125 controls the rejection mechanism 35 to reject the garment package that has passed through the rejection mechanism 35. The rejection mechanism 35 is a first telescopic cylinder installed on the upper end of the first scissor mechanism 31.

[0153] Furthermore, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the rotary conveying assembly 11 includes:

[0154] A fixed disk 111 has a plurality of second conveying rollers 112 disposed on its upper surface;

[0155] The second conveyor 113 is used to convey garment packages onto the fixed plate 111. One end of the second conveyor 113 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 111, and the other end is connected to the storage conveyor assembly 12 or the telescopic conveyor assembly 14.

[0156] It should be noted that the second conveying component 113 includes a second mounting frame 1131 and a second conveyor belt 1132. The second conveyor belt 1132 is mounted on the second mounting frame 1131. The second mounting frame 1131 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 111. By setting the rotating conveying component 11, the angle of the shoveling unit 1 can be adjusted to facilitate shoveling the clothing packaging component.

[0157] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic conveyor assembly 14 includes:

[0158] Two sets of second scissor lift mechanisms 141 are arranged vertically in parallel.

[0159] The upper hinges of the two sets of second scissor mechanisms 141 arranged in parallel are rotatably connected by a third conveying roller 142.

[0160] The lower end of the second scissor mechanism 141 is provided with a second traveling wheel 143.

[0161] Furthermore, the second traveling wheel 143 is a swivel wheel;

[0162] By vertically and parallelly arranging the second scissor mechanism 141, the telescopic conveying assembly 14 can achieve both extension and retraction in the length direction and bending in the vertical direction. By setting the third conveying roller 142 at the upper end of the second scissor mechanism 141, the garment package on the storage conveying assembly 12 can be conveniently conveyed to the rotary conveying assembly 11, and the range of motion of the shovel unit 1 can be increased, further improving the practicality of the shovel unit 1.

[0163] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the lower part of the material conveying assembly 12 is provided with a telescopic support member 126.

[0164] The telescopic support 126 is disposed between the first mounting frame 121 and the walking assembly 123.

[0165] It should be noted that by setting a telescopic support 126 between the first mounting frame 121 and the walking component 123, the height of the material conveying component 12 can be easily adjusted. Since the material conveying component 12 and the tilting shovel 13 share the same first mounting frame 121, the height of the tilting shovel 13 is adjusted after the height of the material conveying component 12 is adjusted. The telescopic conveying component 14 also automatically makes adaptive adjustments and works with the walking component 123 to enable the tilting shovel 13 to directly scoop out some clothing packages from the cargo compartment of transport vehicles, reducing the trouble of manually handling clothing packages and improving the unloading efficiency of clothing packages.

[0166] Furthermore, the first conveying roller 331, the second conveying roller 112, and the third conveying roller 142 in this case are driven to rotate by a motor, which is conventional technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0167] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
