Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of garment hanging technology, and in particular to an automatic hanging production line for small-batch, multi-variety garments. Background Technology
[0002] A garment hanging production line is a specific type of automated production line specifically designed for the manufacturing, assembly, and packaging of garments. Hanging production lines automate the processing and transport of garments by controlling the movement of hanger wheels along a track. The hangers move along the main track, allowing them to reach different processing positions. This contributes to improved production efficiency and management, particularly in garment and home textile production, as it allows for a shift from batch processing to single-piece processing, providing greater flexibility to meet the needs of different products. It plays a vital role in modern manufacturing, promoting the improvement and optimization of production processes.
[0003] On existing production lines, when the hanging garment racks reach their workstations and stop, they sway significantly due to inertia, making them prone to detaching. Furthermore, the garments on the production line need to undergo multiple production processes and come into contact with different production personnel. Since clothing is worn close to the skin, it requires multiple disinfection processes to reduce the spread of viruses.
[0004] Therefore, a small-batch, multi-variety automatic hanging production line is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a track, a storage trough, and rollers, as well as an adjustment mechanism for controlling the rollers to enter and exit the track and the storage trough. The track is located on the inner and outer sides of the guide rail, and the storage trough is located on both sides of the notch.
[0008] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a ring rack, a drive motor, and a traveling gear. The drive motor is located on one side of the lifting device. The output shaft of the drive motor passes through the lifting device and is fixedly connected to the traveling gear. The traveling gear meshes with the ring rack, which is located at the bottom end of the guide rail.
[0009] Preferably, the disinfection mechanism includes a reciprocating screw that is rotatably connected inside the channel. A small gear is fixedly connected to a hanger that passes through one side of the channel. The small gear meshes with a medium gear, and the medium gear meshes with a large gear. The large gear is fixedly connected to one side of the traveling gear through a rotating shaft that passes through the hanger.
[0010] Preferably, a movable plate is threadedly connected to the outer side of the reciprocating screw, a telescopic bladder is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate, and the other side of the telescopic bladder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the channel.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the telescopic bladder located on the inner wall of the channel is fixedly connected to one end of the outlet pipe and one end of the inlet pipe. The other end of the outlet pipe is fixedly connected to a distribution pipe. Atomizing nozzles are evenly arranged at the bottom end of the distribution pipe and are clamped at the bottom end of the baffle. The other end of the inlet pipe is fixedly connected to a disinfectant tank, which is located at the top of the baffle. One-way valves are provided on both the outlet pipe and the inlet pipe.
[0012] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a locking member sleeved on the hanging rod, the center of the locking member sliding freely inside the hanging rod via a slide rail, the upper end of the clothes hanger being locked on the outer side of the locking member, and a return spring being provided between the locking member and the hanging rod, the return spring being sleeved on the hanging rod.
[0013] Preferably, a rope is fixedly connected to one side of the middle part of the locking component, the other end of the rope passes through the hanger and the hanging rod and is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, the bottom end of the connecting rod passes through the hanger and is fixedly connected to the first handle, and a guide plate is sleeved on the connecting rod, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the hanger.

[0015] Preferably, each pull rod has a control plate at its bottom end, and the control plate is fixed inside the hanger.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0017] 1. This invention designs a disinfection mechanism in conjunction with a drive mechanism. During the process of the drive mechanism moving the hanging device to suspend the garment, because the moving speed of the hanging device is relatively slow and the required power speed is small, the differential speed between the large and small gears is used to accelerate the rotation of the reciprocating screw, so that the disinfection mechanism has suitable power to meet the requirements. Furthermore, the reciprocating screw drives the telescopic bladder to reciprocate, so that the disinfectant in the disinfectant tank is continuously delivered to the atomizing nozzle, thereby disinfecting the garment.
[0018] 2. This invention, through the design of a control mechanism in conjunction with a limiting mechanism, allows the restoring force of the return spring to drive the locking components, in conjunction with the baffle, to restrict the upper end of the hanger, preventing the hanger from detaching from the hanging rod due to inertia when it stops at the work station. The first handle, via a connecting rod, can drive the ropes to overcome the restoring force of the return spring and move all the locking components away from the baffle, thus facilitating the overall handling and placement of the hanger. The second handle, via a collar and a pull rod, can drive two sets of horizontally positioned ropes to overcome the restoring force of the return spring and move the locking components away from the baffle, thus facilitating the hanging and retrieval of hangers at the same height. Furthermore, the connecting rod is restricted by a directional plate, and the collar is restricted by a control plate, preventing interference between overall handling and partial horizontal handling.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 9 This invention provides a technical solution: a small-batch, multi-variety automatic hanging production line, including a guide rail 1 and a hanger 5. A fixing member 2 is provided at the upper end of the guide rail 1 for mounting the guide rail 1. A connecting mechanism is provided between the guide rail 1 and the hanger 5 for connecting the guide rail 1 and the hanger 5. The hanger 5 has an opening 6 and a channel 7 inside. Specifically, the connecting mechanism includes a track 3, a storage trough 10, and rollers 11, as well as an adjustment mechanism for controlling the rollers 11 to enter and exit the track 3 and the storage trough 10. The track 3 is located on the inner and outer sides of the guide rail 1, and the storage trough 10 is located on... On both sides of the notch 6, the adjusting mechanism controls the rollers 11 to select either the track 3 or the storage trough 10, so that the lifting device 5 is stably installed on the guide rail 1, facilitating disassembly and maintenance. A drive mechanism is provided on one side of the guide rail 1 and inside the notch 6 to drive the lifting device 5 along the guide rail 1. The drive mechanism includes a ring rack 4, a drive motor 8, and a traveling gear 9. The drive motor 8 is located on one side of the lifting device 5. The output shaft of the drive motor 8 passes through the lifting device 5 and is fixedly connected to the traveling gear 9. The traveling gear 9 meshes with the ring rack 4, which is located at the bottom end of the guide rail 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2Specifically, the drive motor 8 is started, which drives the traveling gear 9 to rotate. The traveling gear 9 moves along the meshing ring rack 4, causing the hanging device 5 to move along the guide rail 1. A cover plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hanging device 5, and a hanger 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cover plate 12. Hanging rods 26 of different lengths are evenly fixedly connected to both sides of the hanger 13. A clothes hanger 29 is hung on the hanging rod 26. A baffle 27 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing part 2 away from the hanger 13 to prevent the clothes hanger 29 hanging on the hanging rod 26 from falling off. A disinfection mechanism is provided inside the channel 7 and at the top and bottom of the cover plate 12 to disinfect the clothes hanging on both sides of the hanger 13. A limit mechanism is provided on the outside of the hanging rod 26 to quickly fix the clothes hanger 29 and prevent the clothes hanger 29 from falling off. A control mechanism is provided inside and outside the hanger 13 and the hanging rod 26 to facilitate the taking and placing of the clothes hanger 29.
[0033] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, as preferred, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 as well as Figure 8The garments on the production line need to undergo multiple production processes and come into contact with different production personnel. Since the garments are worn close to the skin, they require multiple disinfection treatments. The disinfection mechanism includes a reciprocating screw 17 rotatably connected inside a channel 7. A small gear 16 is fixedly connected to a hanger 5 through one side of the channel 7. The small gear 16 meshes with a medium gear 15, which in turn meshes with a large gear 14. The large gear 14 is fixedly connected to one side of a traveling gear 9 via a shaft passing through the hanger 5. As the traveling gear 9 moves the hanger 5, it accelerates the reciprocating screw 17 through the large gear 14, medium gear 15, and small gear 16. A moving plate 18 is threaded onto the outer side of the reciprocating screw 17. A telescopic bladder 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving plate 18, and the other side of the telescopic bladder 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the channel 7. One end of the telescopic bladder 19 located on the inner wall of the channel 7 is fixedly connected to one end of an outlet pipe 20 and an inlet pipe 23. The other end of the outlet pipe 20 is fixedly connected to a distribution pipe 21. Atomizing nozzles 22 are evenly arranged at the bottom end of pipe 21. The atomizing nozzles 22 are clamped at the bottom end of the baffle 12. The other end of the inlet pipe 23 is fixedly connected to a disinfectant tank 24, which is located at the top of the baffle 12. One-way valves 25 are installed on both the outlet pipe 20 and the inlet pipe 23. To prevent the disinfectant in the telescopic bladder 19 from flowing back and to control the intake from the atomizing nozzles 22, the disinfectant in the disinfectant tank 24 is ensured to be sprayed only from the atomizing nozzles 22. The reciprocating screw 17, which rotates rapidly, drives the moving plate. The reciprocating movement of the 18 is such that the telescopic bladder 19 is fixed between the inner wall of the channel 7 and the moving plate 18 and is sleeved on the outside of the reciprocating screw 17. Therefore, the reciprocating screw 17 drives the telescopic bladder 19 to extend and retract. The telescopic bladder 19 sends the disinfectant liquid in the disinfectant tank 24 into the telescopic bladder 19 through the liquid inlet pipe 23. Then, the disinfectant liquid in the telescopic bladder 19 is evenly sent to the atomizing nozzle 22 for atomized spraying through the liquid outlet pipe 20 and the distribution pipe 21, thereby disinfecting the clothing hung on the hanging rods 26 on both sides of the hanger 13.
[0034] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 as well as Figure 9As shown, the inertia of the hanger 29 hanging on the hanging rod 26 when it stops at the work station causes significant swaying, making it prone to detachment. The limiting mechanism includes a locking member 28 sleeved on the hanging rod 26. The center of the locking member 28 slides freely inside the hanging rod 26 via a slide rail 31. The upper end of the hanger 29 is locked on the outer side of the locking member 28. A return spring 30 is provided between the locking member 28 and the hanger 13. The return spring 30 is sleeved on the hanging rod 26. Specifically, the restoring force of the return spring 30 drives the locking member 28 to cooperate with the baffle 27 to lock the upper end of the hanger 29. To prevent the hanger 29 from detaching from the hanging rod 26, a cord 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the middle of the locking member 28. The other end of the cord 32 passes through the hanger 13 and the hanging rod 26 and is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 33. The bottom end of the connecting rod 33 passes through the hanger 13 and is fixedly connected to the first handle 35. Pulling the first handle 35 causes all the cords 32 to move downwards via the connecting rod 33. Then, the cords 32 overcome the restoring force of the return spring 30 and move the locking member 28 away from the baffle 27, thus facilitating the removal and placement of the hanger 29 on the hanging rod 26. Figure 6 As shown, a guide plate 34 is fitted on the connecting rod 33. The guide plate 34 is fixedly connected inside the hanger 13, so the connecting rod 33 can only move up and down.
[0035] In further proposals, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the handling of garments on the production line is not usually done in a complete manner, so it is necessary to handle a small number of garments. Two sets of ropes 32 are fitted with loops 36 on their outer sides. One end of a pull rod 37 is fixedly connected to the front end of the loops 36. The other end of the two pull rods 37 passes through a passageway 38 and is fixedly connected to a second handle 39. The passageway 38 is located at the front end of the hanger 13. Pulling the second handle 39 causes the two symmetrical sets of ropes 32 to pull outwards via the loops 36 and pull rods 37. Because the connecting rod 33 is subjected to… Due to the limitation of the directional plate 34, the two sets of ropes 32 in the horizontal position can overcome the restoring force of the return spring 30 and drive the locking piece 28 away from the baffle 27, thereby facilitating the hanging and retrieval of clothing at the same height. The bottom of the pull rod 37 is provided with a control plate 40, which is fixed inside the hanger 13. Therefore, the control plate 40 works with the second handle 39 to prevent the second handle 39 located inside the hanger 13 from moving downward. In addition, the side of the control plate 40 near the collar 36 is curved to avoid affecting the outward movement of the collar 36.
