Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of packaging equipment technology, specifically to a clamping and folding device for garment production and a garment packaging method. Background Technology

[0002] In garment workshops, automated garment packaging equipment is the final step in garment production and processing. This step mainly includes garment folding, bagging, sealing, and labeling. Garment folding, as the first step in packaging, directly affects the smooth operation of subsequent bagging and other processes, as well as the overall efficiency of the garment packaging operation.

[0003] Currently, the folding part of an automatic garment folding machine mainly includes a conveyor system located in the middle and rotating plates on both sides of the conveyor system that can be flipped. During the folding process, the garment is placed relatively centrally on the conveyor system and the two rotating plates by the operator. Then, the sleeves are folded first by the operator. After that, the rotating plates are flipped in the middle by the power unit, so that the sleeves are folded onto the middle part of the garment. The garment is then placed on the conveyor system in a folded state. Finally, the conveyor system transports the folded garment to the entrance of the bagging machine for bagging.

[0004] Existing automatic folding machines for garment packaging primarily rely on the rapid upward swing of the rotating plate to provide inertial force to the sleeves, folding them to the middle of the garment. While this achieves garment folding to some extent, it suffers from at least the following drawbacks: During the flipping process, the operator's hands need to leave the garment, resulting in a lack of restraint and fixation for the garment as a whole. This often leads to differences in inertial force due to placement errors during folding, which can cause one side to be folded incompletely while the other side is over-folded. This results in irregular folding of the garment, affecting subsequent bagging operations and consequently impacting the entire garment packaging process, requiring manual removal and repackaging.

[0005] Before the rotating board flips over, the garment lacks restraint and fixation, resulting in severe wrinkles at the folded parts and large-area creases, which affects the appearance quality of the garment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping and folding device and a garment packaging method for garment production, so as to improve the efficiency of garment folding.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a clamping and folding device for garment production is provided, comprising a platform, a central conveyor belt disposed in the middle of the platform, and lateral conveyor belts with liftable top surfaces disposed on both sides of the central conveyor belt. A flap is disposed on the outer side of each lateral conveyor belt, the flap being rotatably mounted on the platform. A pressure rod is disposed on the outer side of the flap, the pressure rod being rotatably mounted on the rear end face of the flap via a swing arm. The pressure rod, by rotating inward and pressing down on the lateral conveyor belts, clamps the folded portion of the garment and serves as the pivot point for the flap's rotation. The swing arm is rotatably mounted on the rear end face of the flap via a pivot shaft. A driving component is connected to the end of the swing arm away from the pressure rod. The driving component comprises a first driving portion and a second driving portion. The first driving portion drives the swing arm to move the pressure rod from the outer side of the flap to the inner side of the flap, and the second driving portion drives the flap to rotate inward to achieve garment folding.

[0008] Furthermore, the central conveyor belt includes a central belt body and central belt rollers. One central belt roller is provided at each of the four corners inside the central belt body. The central belt rollers are mounted on the platform via support plates, and one of the central belt rollers is connected to a rotary motor. The central belt rollers are used to drive the central belt body to rotate. The lateral conveyor belt includes a lateral belt body and lateral belt rollers. The two ends of the middle belt roller located at the bottom extend into the two lateral belt bodies respectively, which are used to drive the lateral belt body to rotate. A lateral belt roller is provided at each of the two corners inside the upper part of the lateral belt body. The lateral belt rollers are connected to a rotating plate. The rotating plate is rotatably mounted on the platform, and a support spring is provided between the rotating plate and the platform.

[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the inner side of the lower surface of the flip plate are fixedly connected to arc-shaped sliders, and arc-shaped slide rails are sleeved on the outside of the arc-shaped sliders, and the arc-shaped slide rails are fixedly installed on the platform.

[0010] Furthermore, the first driving part includes a gear and a rack. The gear is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the swing arm and is coaxial with the rotating shaft. The rack meshes with the bottom of the gear, and the rack drives the swing arm to swing back and forth by transverse reciprocating movement.

[0011] Furthermore, a diagonal rod is fixedly connected to one end of the swing arm corresponding to the pressure rod. When the pressure rod is located outside the flap, the diagonal rod is in a state where the outer end faces upward. The second driving part includes a reciprocating rod and a reciprocating groove. The reciprocating rod is installed on the rear side of the diagonal rod away from the pressure rod. The reciprocating groove is set on the rack. When the pressure rod is pressed against the lateral conveyor belt, the reciprocating rod is located in the reciprocating groove, and the diagonal rod is in a state where the end near the reciprocating rod faces downward.

[0012] Furthermore, when the pressure bar presses on the lateral conveyor belt and the rack and gear separate, the reciprocating rod is located in the reciprocating groove, and the inner walls on both sides of the reciprocating groove and the reciprocating rod are spaced apart.

[0013] Furthermore, when the pressure rod and the arc-shaped slide rail are concentric, the reciprocating groove is located inside the pressure rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the second drive section also includes a connecting rod and an electric push rod. The electric push rod is mounted on the platform. There are two connecting rods arranged in a "V" shape. The front ends of the two connecting rods are rotatably connected to the electric push rod, and the rear ends of the two connecting rods are rotatably connected to two racks respectively.

[0015] Furthermore, the front ends of the central conveyor belt and the side conveyor belts extend out of the platform, and support blocks are provided on both sides of the platform. When the flip plate is in a horizontal state, its outer end is supported by the support blocks.

[0016] According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for folding garment packaging in a garment production workshop is provided, employing the above-described clamping and folding device for garment production, comprising: Step 1: Lay the garment down onto the platform through the pressure bar, so that the middle part of the garment is on the central conveyor belt and the side conveyor belt, and the sleeves of the garment are on the flip plates on both sides. Step 2: The driving components operate. The first driving part and the second driving part move in sequence, causing the pressure bar to press down the folded part of the garment and clamp it with the side conveyor belt. The flip plate uses flipping to fold the sleeve part onto the part of the garment located on the middle conveyor belt. Step 3: The drive unit operates, the second drive part moves, causing the pressure bar to release the pressure on the lateral conveyor belt, and the upper surface of the lateral conveyor belt is reset; Step 4: The rotating motor runs, and the central conveyor belt and side conveyor belts transport the folded garments forward and away from the platform; Step 5: The driving components operate, and the second driving part and the first driving part move in sequence, causing the flap and the pressure rod to reset in sequence.

[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention is applied to garment packaging operations. It directly folds the two sides of the garment near the sleeves towards the center. During folding, a pressure bar is set up in conjunction with a side conveyor belt to press the folded part tightly, which can improve the folding effect. At the same time, it can prevent the garment from shifting during the folding process, making the garment fold more neat and ensuring the effective execution of the subsequent bagging process, thereby improving the efficiency of garment packaging operations.

[0018] 2. This invention uses a pressure bar to press down on the lateral conveyor belt so that the height of the folded part of the garment is less than the height of the middle part before folding. During the folding process, the pressure bar pulls the garment outward to tighten it, making the folding more compact and neat, thus improving the garment packaging effect.

[0019] 3. This invention sets the gear and rack in a separated state before the flip plate flips over, so that after the flip plate resets, the gear and rack remain separated. In this state, the reciprocating rod does not contact the inner side wall of the reciprocating groove. This allows the reciprocating groove to provide space for the reciprocating rod to swing upward after the flip plate resets. Consequently, the upper surface of the lateral conveyor belt can reset upwards, relieving the pressure of the pressure bar on the folded garment. As the garment is conveyed away from the platform by the lateral and central conveyor belts, the pressure bar reduces interference with the garment, preventing deformation and further ensuring the folding effect of the garment.

[0020] 4. By adopting the garment packaging folding method for garment production workshops provided by this invention, the garment packaging operation has the advantages of high efficiency and high quality. Compared with the prior art, it can reduce rework and downtime caused by unstable and irregular garment folding, and improve garment processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 7 A typical embodiment of the present invention provides a clamping and folding device for garment production, comprising a platform 1, a central conveyor belt 2 disposed in the middle of the platform 1, and lateral conveyor belts 3 on both sides of the central conveyor belt 2, the top surface of which can be raised and lowered. A flip plate 4 is disposed on the outer side of each lateral conveyor belt 3. The flip plate 4 is rotatably mounted on the platform 1. A pressure rod 5 is disposed on the outer side of the flip plate 4. The pressure rod 5 is rotatably mounted on the rear end face of the flip plate 4 via a swing arm 6. The pressure rod 5 presses the folded part of the garment by rotating inward and pressing down on the lateral conveyor belt 3 and serves as the flip axis of the flip plate 4. The swing arm 6 is rotatably mounted on the rear end face of the flip plate 4 via a rotating shaft 7. A driving component is connected to the end of the swing arm 6 away from the pressure rod 5. The driving component is provided with a first driving part and a second driving part. The first driving part is used to drive the swing arm 6 to move the pressure rod 5 from the outer side of the flip plate 4 to the inner side of the flip plate 4. The second driving part is used to drive the flip plate 4 to flip inward to realize garment folding.

[0025] According to this embodiment, when folding the garment, the first drive part moves first, causing the swing arm 6 to drive the pressure rod 5 to move from the outside of the flip plate 4 to the side conveyor belt 3, and press down on the side conveyor belt 3 to make the folded part of the garment move downward. At this time, the pressure rod 5 cooperates with the side conveyor belt 3 to press the opposite side of the garment.

[0026] Then, the second drive unit moves, causing the swing arm 6 and the flip plate 4 to swing around the pressure rod 5. At this time, the part of the garment on the flip plate 4 will be folded to the middle position, and the folded garment as a whole is supported by the side conveyor belt 3 and the middle conveyor belt 2.

[0027] Finally, the lateral conveyor belt 3 and the central conveyor belt 2 move, conveying the folded garment forward as a whole for the next packaging process. During the conveying process, the pressure bar 5 is continuously pulled out from inside the folded garment.

[0028] By setting up a pressure bar 5 before folding the garment, and cooperating with the side conveyor belt 3 to press and fix the folded part of the garment, the inertial force can be prevented from pulling the folded part of the garment, causing excessive folding or displacement, during the process of the flip plate 4 quickly flipping inward to achieve garment folding. This improves the folding effect and neatness of the garment, and makes it easier for subsequent bagging, sealing and other packaging operations.

[0029] Before folding the garment, the pressure bar 5 presses down on the side conveyor belt 3, causing the upper surface of the side conveyor belt 3 to drop. At this time, the height of the garment folding point decreases, and as the sleeve part of the garment is folded to the upper middle part, the folding point of the garment forms an inward-outward pulling and tightening effect by covering the side surface of the pressure bar 5. The direction of this pulling and tightening is opposite to the inward folding direction of the sleeve part. Therefore, it can reduce creases in the folding part of the garment, making the folding part of the garment smoother and reducing the phenomenon of creases in the folding part.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 In one relatively specific embodiment, the central conveyor belt 2 includes a central belt body 2.1 and central belt rollers 2.2. One central belt roller 2.2 is located at each of the four corners inside the central belt body 2.1. The central belt rollers 2.2 are mounted on the platform 1 via support plates 2.3, and one of the central belt rollers 2.2 is connected to a rotary motor 2.4. The central belt rollers 2.2 are used to drive the central belt body 2.1 to rotate. (Refer to...) Figure 5 The side conveyor belt 3 includes a side belt body 3.1 and side belt rollers 3.2. The two ends of the middle belt roller 2.2 located at the bottom extend into the two side belt bodies 3.1 respectively, and are used to drive the side belt bodies 3.1 to rotate. A side belt roller 3.2 is provided at each of the two corners inside the side belt body 3.1. The side belt rollers 3.2 are connected to a rotating plate 3.3, which is rotatably mounted on the platform 1. A support spring 3.4 is provided between the rotating plate 3.3 and the platform 1.

[0031] According to the above implementation method, after the rotary motor 2.4 starts running, the central belt roller 2.2 can simultaneously drive the central belt body 2.1 and the side belt body 3.1 to move, so as to realize the conveying of the garment. After the upper belt surface of the side belt body 3.1 is subjected to the pressure of the pressure rod 5, the pressure will be transmitted to the two side belt rollers 3.2, and cause the rotating plate 3.3 to rotate, so as to realize the lowering of the upper belt surface of the central belt body 2.1. At the same time, the support spring 3.4 deforms.

[0032] Reference Figures 6 to 8In a preferred embodiment, both ends of the inner side of the lower surface of the flip plate 4 are fixedly connected to arc-shaped sliders 8, and arc-shaped slide rails 9 are sleeved on the outside of the arc-shaped sliders 8, and the arc-shaped slide rails 9 are fixedly installed on the platform 1. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped slide rails 9 support the arc-shaped sliders 8 and support the flip plate 4. At the same time, the arc-shaped slide rails 9, together with the arc-shaped sliders 8, guide and limit the flipping of the flip plate 4, ensuring that the flip plate 4 can flip stably. In particular, during the flipping process, the flip plate 4's center of rotation can be restricted, thereby ensuring that the pressure rod 5 is always pressed against the lateral conveyor belt 3.

[0033] Reference Figure 7 In a preferred embodiment, the first driving part includes a gear 10 and a rack 11. The gear 10 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the swing arm 6 and is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 7. The rack 11 meshes with the bottom of the gear 10, and the rack 11 drives the swing arm 6 to swing back and forth by transverse reciprocating movement. The rack 11 is slidably mounted on the platform 1. When the rack moves outward, the outer end of the swing arm 6 is driven to swing inward from the top of the flap 4 by the gear 10, and the gear 10 is driven to rotate by the rack 11. The gear 10 and the swing arm 6 apply force to the pressure rod 5, so that the pressure rod 5 can press down on the upper surface of the lateral belt 3.1 and cause the upper surface of the lateral belt 3.1 to descend.

[0034] According to the above implementation method, after all the teeth on the rack 11 have passed the gear 10, the pressure on the lateral belt 3.1 provided by the pressure rod 5 is released. At this time, under the action of the support spring 3.4, the upper surface of the lateral belt 3.1 will return to its original position, and the pressure rod 5 will only press on the garment under the action of gravity. Therefore, during the process of the lateral conveyor belt 3 and the middle conveyor belt 2 conveying the folded garment forward away from the platform 1, the resistance of the pressure rod 5 to the garment is small, which can prevent the pressure rod 5 from pulling the garment and causing it to shift or deform. In this way, the folding effect of the garment can be improved and the state of the garment after folding can be better guaranteed.

[0035] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In a preferred embodiment, the swing arm 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the pressure rod 5 with a diagonal rod 12. When the pressure rod 5 is located outside the flap 4, the diagonal rod 12 is in a state where the outer end faces upward. The second drive part includes a reciprocating rod 13 and a reciprocating groove 14. The reciprocating rod 13 is installed on the rear side of the diagonal rod 12 away from the pressure rod 5. The reciprocating groove 14 is provided on the rack 11. When the pressure rod 5 is pressed against the lateral conveyor belt 3, the reciprocating rod 13 is located in the reciprocating groove 14, and the diagonal rod 12 is in a state where the end close to the reciprocating rod 13 faces downward.

[0036] During the outward displacement of the rack 11, the inner wall of the reciprocating groove 14 contacts the reciprocating rod 13 and then applies force to the inclined rod 12 through the reciprocating rod 13. At this time, the inclined rod 12 causes the pressure rod 5 to press down again on the upper surface of the lateral conveyor belt 3 until the pressure rod 5 coincides with the center of the arc-shaped slide rail 9. Then, the swing arm 6 drives the outer end of the flip plate 4 to swing inward through the rotating shaft 7 to realize the folding process of the garment.

[0037] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In a preferred embodiment, when the pressure rod 5 presses down on the lateral conveyor belt 3 and the rack 11 separates from the gear 10, the reciprocating rod 13 is located within the reciprocating groove 14, and the inner walls of the reciprocating groove 14 on both sides are spaced apart from the reciprocating rod 13. After the pressure rod 5 presses down on the lateral conveyor belt 3, the rack 11 continues to move outward. At this time, the rack 11 separates from the gear 10, and the upper surface of the lateral conveyor belt 3 returns to its upward position. The pressure rod 5 swings upward after being lifted by the lateral conveyor belt 3. After the pressure rod 5 swings, the end of the inclined rod 12 away from the pressure rod 5 remains tilted downward, so that during the subsequent outward movement of the rack 11, the reciprocating rod 13 is squeezed, and the pressure rod 5 presses down on the lateral conveyor belt 3 again, causing the pressure rod 5 to move to a state concentric with the arc-shaped slide rail 9. When the pressure rod 5 and the arc-shaped slide rail 9 are concentric, the reciprocating groove 14 is located inside the pressure rod 5.

[0038] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 In a preferred embodiment, the second drive unit further includes a connecting rod 15 and an electric push rod 16. The electric push rod 16 is mounted on the platform 1. There are two connecting rods 15 arranged in a "V" shape. The front ends of both connecting rods 15 are rotatably connected to the electric push rod 16, and the rear ends of both connecting rods 15 are rotatably connected to two racks 11, respectively. The extension and retraction of the electric push rod 16 controls the reciprocating movement of the two connecting rods 15, and the two connecting rods 15 synchronously drive the two racks 11 to perform reciprocating movement.

[0039] In addition, the front ends of the central conveyor belt 2 and the side conveyor belt 3 extend out of the platform 1. Support blocks 17 are provided on both sides of the platform 1, and when the flip plate 4 is in a horizontal state, its outer end is supported by the support blocks 17.

[0040] Another typical embodiment of the present invention provides a garment packaging method, which applies the above-described clamping and folding device for garment production. The method includes: Step 1: Lay the garment down through the pressure bar 5 onto the platform 1, so that the middle part of the garment is on the central conveyor belt 2 and the side conveyor belt 3, and the sleeves of the garment are on the flip plates 4 on both sides. Step 2: The driving components operate. The first driving part and the second driving part move in sequence, so that the pressure rod 5 presses down the folded part of the garment and clamps it with the side conveyor belt 3. The flip plate 4 uses flipping to fold the sleeve part onto the part of the garment located on the middle conveyor belt 2. Step 3: The drive unit operates, the second drive part moves, causing the pressure rod 5 to release the pressure on the side conveyor belt 3, and the upper belt surface of the side conveyor belt 3 is reset.

[0041] Step 4: Rotary motor 2.4 runs, and the central conveyor belt 2 and the side conveyor belt 3 transport the folded garments forward and away from platform 1; Step 5: The driving components operate, and the second driving part and the first driving part move in sequence, causing the flap 4 and the pressure rod 5 to reset in sequence.

[0042] In step two above, before the reciprocating groove 14 moves outward to push the reciprocating rod 13, the rack 11 separates from the gear 10, resulting in an outward idle stroke for the rack 11. Then, in step three above, although the rack 11 moves inward, since it has not yet contacted the gear 10, the reciprocating groove 14 gradually disengages from the reciprocating rod 13 during its inward movement, causing the upper surface of the lateral conveyor belt 3 to return to its upward position. Afterward, the process described in step four is performed, minimizing the resistance from the pressure rod 5 during the process of the folded garment leaving the platform 1.

[0043] After the folded garment leaves platform 1, the process described in step five is performed to achieve overall resetting.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
