Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fabric rolling machine technology, and in particular to a fabric rolling method for an automatic fabric rolling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the textile operation process, after the knitting machine finishes weaving the fabric, the fabric must be pulled to a fabric winding machine. The fabric is then wound onto a take-up roller. After the fabric is wound, it is cut and then the take-up roller is removed and transported to the storage area.

[0003] Traditional fabric winding methods usually require manual assistance to fix the fabric ends onto the take-up rollers. Alternatively, after a cutting operation, the distance between the end of the fabric on the previous take-up roller and the next take-up roller is large, and the take-up roller's own gripping mechanism cannot completely wind up the fabric ends. This can easily cause the take-up rollers to wind up the fabric continuously, and it can also cause the fabric surface to be uneven when the take-up rollers have wound up the target size of fabric. Therefore, the efficiency is low, and many operations require manual operation, including manually guiding the fabric and fixing the fabric ends.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor of this case conducted in-depth research, which led to the creation of this case. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fabric winding method for an automatic fabric winding machine that is simple in structure, improves efficiency, and reduces labor costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic fabric winding machine method involves winding a woven fabric using the machine. The machine includes a frame and a take-up roller, a conveying mechanism, a winding mechanism, a cutting mechanism, and a placing mechanism mounted on the frame. The winding mechanism includes a first winding roller and a second winding roller mounted on the frame. The first winding roller is positioned near the cutting mechanism. If the take-up roller's winding direction is defined as counter-clockwise, then the first and second winding rollers' winding directions are clockwise. The method includes the following steps:

[0008] Step 1, Fabric loading and fixing: The fabric output from the conveying system is manually dropped between the first roll roller and the second roll roller, with the end of the fabric dropping to the middle of the first roll roller;

[0009] Step 2, lower the take-up roller: lower the take-up roller to be taken up between the first roll roller and the second roll roller and press down the end of the fabric from step 1. At this time, the end of the fabric is located between the first roll roller and the take-up roller.

[0010] Step 3, Fabric winding: Drive the first and second fabric winding rollers to rotate clockwise. While rotating, the take-up rollers use their own gripping structure to hold the fabric in place, so that the fabric is automatically wound onto the take-up rollers. The first and second fabric winding rollers continue to rotate clockwise to wind the fabric until the winding is complete. Then the first and second fabric winding rollers stop the winding operation.

[0011] Step 4, Cloth Dropping: Lower the take-up roller that has completed the cloth winding process onto the cloth placement mechanism;

[0012] Step 5, lower the next take-up roller: Place the next take-up roller between the first roll roller and the second roll roller and press down the uncut fabric;

[0013] Step 6, Unwinding the fabric: Drive the first roll roller and the second roll roller to rotate counterclockwise for the first time until the fabric is pulled and dropped onto the uncut fabric placed between the fabric placement mechanism and the next take-up roller and the first roll roller and the second roll roller, and the first roll roller and the second roll roller stop rotating.

[0014] Step 7, Cutting and unloading the fabric: The cutting blade of the fabric cutting mechanism is automatically started and moves along the axial direction of the take-up roller, so that the cutting blade starts cutting from the first end edge of the fabric to the second end edge of the fabric. The cutting is completed, and the take-up roller that has completed the fabric rolling work is unloaded.

[0015] Step 8: Pre-process the next take-up roller: There is a distance between the end of the fabric cut in step 7 and the next take-up roller placed between the first take-up roller and the second take-up roller. Drive the first take-up roller and the second take-up roller to rotate counterclockwise for the second time, and retract the fabric between the cutter and the first take-up roller back to the front end of the second take-up roller.

[0016] Step 9: Repeat steps 3-8 to wind up the fabric to obtain the winding roller that completes the fabric winding operation.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fabric winding machine further includes a control system, wherein the conveying mechanism, the fabric winding mechanism, and the fabric cutting mechanism are respectively communicatively connected to the control system.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fabric winding mechanism further includes a servo motor and a sprocket and chain assembly. The sprocket and chain assembly includes a first sprocket connected to the output shaft of the servo motor, a second sprocket coaxially arranged with the first sprocket, a third sprocket synchronously arranged with the second sprocket, and a chain wound between the second sprocket and the third sprocket. The second sprocket is connected to the first fabric winding roller, and the third sprocket is connected to the second fabric winding roller.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fabric winding machine further includes a storage mechanism, which includes a storage track, a plurality of winding rollers to be wound up disposed in the storage track, and a first driving device for controlling the winding rollers to slide down one by one, wherein the first driving device is communicatively connected to the main control device.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fabric rolling machine further includes a fabric pushing mechanism, which includes an upper rail, a lower rail connected to the upper rail, and a second driving device for driving the upper rail to deviate from the lower rail and move above the fabric placement mechanism. The upper rail is disposed above the lower rail, and the second driving device is communicatively connected to the main control device.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fabric rolling machine further includes a transport mechanism, which is communicatively connected to the main control device. The control system sends instructions to the transport mechanism, and a robotic arm unloads the take-up roller that has completed the fabric rolling operation.

[0022] By adopting the aforementioned design scheme, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The process sequentially involves fixing the new fabric, lowering the take-up roller, rolling the fabric, dropping the fabric, lowering the next take-up roller, unwinding the fabric, cutting and unloading the fabric, and pre-processing the next take-up roller. When there is a distance between the end of the cut fabric and the next take-up roller to be rolled, placed between the first and second take-up rollers, a servo motor drives the first and second take-up rollers to rotate counterclockwise twice. This, combined with the take-up roller (fabric gripping mechanism), ensures the fabric remains taut during cutting and retracts the fabric between the cutter and the first take-up roller back to the front end of the second take-up roller. This prevents the fabric from slipping during automatic winding, ultimately achieving automatic fixing of the fabric end. Compared to traditional technologies, this invention fully automates the entire fabric winding process, overcoming the problems of manual fabric fixing, cutting, and unloading. It avoids frequent machine stops for manual operations, improves production continuity, increases productivity, and reduces labor costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] 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 are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3

[0029] A method for winding fabric using an automatic fabric winding machine. In this invention, the fabric winding machine is a conventional fabric winding machine used in the field of textile equipment technology, such as... Figure 3 As shown, Chinese invention patent application number CN113862890A discloses "a fabric winding machine with a pre-feeding function". This embodiment uses the fabric winding machine of the above-mentioned patent as an example for illustration. It is worth noting that the fabric winding method of the present invention is not limited to the fabric winding machine of the above-mentioned patent, but can also be used on fabric winding machines of other structural forms, which will not be described in detail here.

[0030] The fabric winding machine of this invention includes a fabric winding base installed on a weaving device and a main control device (not shown in the figure). The fabric winding base includes a base 1 and supports 2 erected on both sides of the base 1. Between the two supports 2 are a conveying mechanism (multiple transition rollers 3), a storage mechanism 4, a fabric dropping mechanism, a fabric winding mechanism, a fabric cutting mechanism 7, a fabric pushing mechanism 8, and a fabric placement mechanism. The storage mechanism 4 and the fabric pushing mechanism 8 are both located above the fabric dropping mechanism, and the fabric winding mechanism and the fabric cutting mechanism 7 are both located below the fabric dropping mechanism. The multiple transition rollers 3 are all located in front of the fabric winding mechanism. It should be noted that the various components of the automatic fabric winding machine of this invention can be used selectively, individually or in combination, according to actual needs. For example, a fabric cutting mechanism 7 can be added separately to achieve automatic fabric cutting; or the conveying mechanism can be combined with the fabric winding mechanism to achieve automatic fixing of the fabric 10; or the fabric winding mechanism can be combined with the fabric pushing mechanism 8 to achieve automatic unloading (fabric output), etc. The main control device includes an operation panel (not shown in the figure) and a control system (not shown in the figure). The operation panel is used to send signals, and the control system is used to receive signals and convert them into results. The control system is used to receive and / or send control signals generated according to configuration information; the control system is electrically connected to the storage mechanism 4, the fabric winding mechanism, the fabric cutting mechanism 7, and the fabric pushing mechanism 8 respectively. It should be noted that the control of each action (each driving device) during the fabric winding process of the present invention adopts a control system known in the industry, such as a PLC control system.

[0031] The storage mechanism 4 includes storage tracks 41 respectively mounted on two supports 2, multiple take-up rollers 42 disposed within the storage tracks 41, and a first drive device 43 for controlling the take-up rollers 42 to fall sequentially. The first drive device 43 is located on the outside of the supports 2 and is electrically connected to the control system. The control system sends a signal to the first drive device 43, causing the first drive device 43 to drive the take-up rollers 42 to fall to the next process. The first drive device 43 can be a cylinder, but is not limited to using a cylinder; other feasible methods are not detailed here.

[0032] The fabric dropping mechanism includes a fabric dropping track 51, which is inclined downwards. The horizontal position of the front end of the fabric dropping track 51 is lower than the horizontal position of the rear end of the fabric dropping track 51, and the front end of the fabric dropping track 51 is connected to the end of the storage track 41.

[0033] The fabric winding mechanism is located below the end of the fabric drop track 51. The fabric winding mechanism includes a servo motor (not shown in the figure), a sprocket and chain assembly, and two fabric winding rollers (i.e., a first fabric winding roller 61 and a second fabric winding roller 62, with the first fabric winding roller 61 located at the front end of the second fabric winding roller 62) mounted on the bracket 2. The sprocket and chain assembly includes a first sprocket 631 connected to the output shaft of the servo motor, a second sprocket 632 coaxially mounted with the first sprocket 631, a third sprocket 633 synchronously mounted with the second sprocket 632, and a chain 634 wound between the second sprocket 632 and the third sprocket 633. The third sprocket 633 is coaxially connected to the first fabric winding roller 61. The first sprocket 631 and the second sprocket 632 rotate in the same direction and synchronously, which facilitates the rotation of the take-up roller 42 so that the fabric 10 can be automatically wound onto the take-up roller 42. In use, the servo motor drives the first sprocket 631 to rotate, the second sprocket 632 drives the chain 634 to drive the third sprocket 633 to rotate, thereby driving the first roll roller 61 and the second roll roller 62 to rotate in the same direction and synchronously, so as to pull the fabric 10 forward. In this embodiment, only one servo motor is needed to complete the movement of the entire fabric 10 and the rotation of the take-up roller 42.

[0034] The fabric cutting mechanism 7 can adopt Chinese invention patent CN211644018U, entitled "A New Fabric Cutting Device Applicable to Fabric Rolling Machines", which will not be described in detail here.

[0035] The fabric pushing mechanism 8 includes an upper rail 81, a lower rail 82 connected to the upper rail 81, and a second driving device for driving the upper rail 81 to deviate from the lower rail 82. The upper rail 81 is positioned above the lower rail 82. The second driving device can be either electric or pneumatic. This embodiment will describe the pneumatic method in detail. The second driving device is a second cylinder 83. The cylinder body of the second cylinder 83 is mounted on the bracket 2. The end of the piston rod of the second cylinder 83 is connected to the upper rail 81 via a connecting rod 84, so that the upper rail 81 can be moved back and forth by the second cylinder 83, i.e., the upper rail 81 can be connected to or disconnected from the lower rail 82. The bracket 2 is provided with a sliding groove 21 for the connecting rod 84 to slide. The connecting rod 84 passes through the sliding groove 21 and moves within the sliding groove 21. The length of the sliding groove 21 is approximately equal to the width of the upper rail 81 (the width of the lower rail 82). The upper rail 81 and the second cylinder 83 are respectively located on both sides of the bracket 2. A sensing device (not shown in the figure) is provided at the lower end of the upper rail 81. The sensing device is connected to the control system signal and enables distance sensing within the control system. When the take-up roller 42 moves to the sensing device on the upper rail 81, the control system sends a signal to the servo motor, the servo motor stops working, and the first roll of fabric 61 and the second roll of fabric 62 stop rotating. The fabric placement mechanism includes a fabric drop rail 91.

[0036] In use, when the operator uses the fabric roll of this invention, the take-up roller 42 begins to roll the fabric as the take-up roller 62 rotates. During the roll-up process, the diameter of the take-up roller 42 gradually expands as more and more fabric is wound around it, causing the take-up roller 42 to slowly move upward from the lower end of the lower rail 82 until it reaches the top of the lower rail 82, and then continues to move into the upper rail 81. When the take-up roller 42 moves to the sensing device of the upper rail 81, the sensing device sends a signal to the control system. The control system receives the signal from the sensing device and sends a signal to the servo motor, which stops working. The first take-up roller 61 and the second take-up roller 62 stop rotating. At the same time, the control system sends a signal to the first drive device 43, which drives the upper rail 81 to move the take-up roller 42, which has already rolled the fabric 10, forward, so that the upper rail 81 completely disengages from the lower rail 82. As a result, the take-up roller 42 of the upper rail 81 loses its limit and rolls onto the fall rail 91. The control system sends a signal to the fabric cutting device 7, which begins to cut the fabric and moves the completed roll of fabric onto the transport vehicle. The entire operation process requires no human intervention, fundamentally solving the difficulties of manual operation and effectively improving work efficiency.

[0037] A method for winding fabric using an automatic fabric winding machine includes the following steps:

[0038] Step 1, Pre-placement: Place several winding rollers 42 with winding belts into the storage track 41. The control system sends a signal to the first drive device 43. The first drive device 43 completes one forward movement and completes the pre-falling movement.

[0039] Step 2, Fabric 10 is fixed: The fabric 10 is manually wrapped around several transition rollers 3 and then wrapped between the first roll of fabric roller 61 and the second roll of fabric roller 62. At this time, the end of the fabric 10 is located above the first roll of fabric roller 61.

[0040] Step 3, Lowering the take-up roller: The control system sends a signal to the first drive device 43, which completes a backward movement to lower the take-up roller 42 with the rolled fabric that has completed the pre-dropping movement in Step 1. The take-up roller 42 moves down from the storage track to the fabric drop track 51 by its own weight, and then continues to move down between the first roll fabric roller 61 and the second roll fabric roller 62 to press down the fabric 10. At this time, the end of the fabric 10 is positioned between the first roll fabric roller 61 and the take-up roller 42.

[0041] Step 3, Fabric winding: The control system sends a signal to the servo motor to drive the first fabric winding roller 61 and the second fabric winding roller 62 to rotate clockwise. While rotating, the take-up roller 42 uses its own gripping structure to bite the end of the fabric 10, so that the fabric 10 is automatically wound onto the take-up roller 42. The take-up roller 42 continues to rotate together with the end of the fabric 10, which can minimize the slippage of the end of the fabric 10. Finally, the end of the fabric 10 is fixed on the (empty) take-up roller 42. The first fabric winding roller 61 and the second fabric winding roller 62 continue to rotate clockwise to wind the fabric. The take-up roller 42 starts the fabric winding action under the drive of the first fabric winding roller 61 and the second fabric winding roller 62.

[0042] Step 4, Stop the fabric rolling: As more and more fabric 10 is rolled up, the take-up roller 42 begins to move from the lower rail 82 to the upper rail 81. When the take-up roller 42 moves up to the trigger sensing device, the sensing device sends a signal to the control system, the control system sends a command to the servo motor, the servo motor stops working, the first fabric rolling roller 61 and the second fabric rolling roller 62 stop rotating, and the fabric rolling operation is completed.

[0043] Step 5, Cloth Dropping: At the same time, the control system sends a command to the second cylinder 83, which drives the upper rail 81 to move forward, so that the upper rail 81 can be separated from the lower rail 82, and the take-up roller 42, which has completed the cloth rolling work, is lowered onto the cloth dropping rail 91 according to its own gravity, thus completing the entire cloth pushing process.

[0044] Step 6, lower the next take-up roller 42: The control system sends a signal to the first drive device 43, and the first drive device 43 completes a backward movement to lower the next take-up roller 42 with the rolled fabric that has completed the pre-dropping action in Step 1. The take-up roller 42 moves down from the storage track 41 to the fabric drop track 51 by its own gravity, and then continues to move down between the first roll fabric roller 61 and the second roll fabric roller 62 and presses down the uncut fabric 10 in Step 5. At this time, the end of the fabric 10 is set on the previous take-up roller 42 that has completed the winding operation and has not been cut.

[0045] Step 7, Unwinding the fabric: Drive the first roll of fabric roller 61 and the second roll of fabric roller 62 to rotate counterclockwise for the first time until the fabric 10 that has fallen to the uncut fabric rail 91 and is placed between the next take-up roller 42 and the first roll of fabric roller 61 and the second roll of fabric roller 62 is pulled tight so that the cutter can cut the fabric 10 smoothly in the next process. At this time, the first roll of fabric roller 61 and the second roll of fabric roller 62 stop rotating.

[0046] Step 8, Cutting and unloading the fabric: The control system sends a command to the cutter of the fabric cutting mechanism 7 to move along the axial direction of the take-up roller 42, so that the cutter starts cutting from the first end edge of the fabric 10 to the second end edge of the fabric 10. The cutting is completed, and the take-up roller 42 that has completed the fabric rolling work is unloaded.

[0047] Step 9: Pre-processing the next take-up roller 42: There is a distance (defined as ) between the end of the fabric 10 cut in step 7 and the next take-up roller 42 placed on the first roll roller 61 and the second roll roller 62. Figure 2 The line segment a) drives the first roll roller 61 and the second roll roller 62 to rotate counterclockwise for the second time, and retracts the fabric 10 between the cutter and the first roll roller 61 back to the front end of the second roll roller 62.

[0048] Step 10: Repeat steps 3-9 to roll up fabric 10 to obtain a winding roller that completes the fabric rolling process.

[0049] By adopting the aforementioned design scheme, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention sequentially performs the following steps: fixing the new fabric, lowering the take-up roller, rolling the fabric, dropping the fabric, lowering the next take-up roller, unloading the fabric, cutting and unloading the fabric, and pre-treating the next take-up roller.

[0050] A servo motor drives the first fabric roll 61 and the second fabric roll 62 to rotate counterclockwise for the first time, ensuring the fabric 10 remains taut during cutting. This allows the cutter to smoothly cut from the first edge to the second edge of the fabric 10. A second counterclockwise rotation of the first and second fabric rolls retracts the fabric 10 between the cutter and the first fabric roll 61 back to the front end of the second fabric roll 62. This, combined with the take-up roller 42 (fabric gripping mechanism), prevents the fabric 10 from slipping during automatic winding, ultimately achieving automatic fixing of the fabric 10's end. Compared to traditional technologies, this fully automates the entire fabric winding process, overcoming the problems of manual fabric fixing, cutting, and unloading. It avoids frequent machine stops for manual operations, improves production continuity, increases productivity, and reduces labor costs.

[0051] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
