Preferably, the fence 6 is provided with openings at the feeding station 1 and the discharging station 5, so that workers can place unsewn materials at the feeding station 1 and take away sewn materials from the discharging station 5. At the same time, an electric control cabinet 8 is also provided in a corner of the fence 6. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the placement of objects, a buffer station 7 is provided at the lifting and tensioning station.
[0087] The working principle and workflow of the system are as follows:
[0088] The function of the system is to sew leather and cotton together. Unsewn materials are placed in advance at the feeding station 1, and the robot transfer station 2 first transfers the cotton to the lifting and tensioning station 3, and then transfers the leather to the lifting and tensioning station 3, and aligns the leather and lays it on the cotton. The lifting and tensioning station 3 tensions the leather and cotton to obtain the tensioned materials, and then the robot transfer station 2 transfers the tensioned materials to the sewing station, and the sewing station sews the tensioned materials to obtain the sewn materials. Finally, the robot transfer station 2 transfers the sewn materials to the discharging station 5, thereby completing the sewing process of leather and cotton. The present invention ensures the timely transfer of materials through the simultaneous operation of a lifting and tensioning station 3, multiple sewing stations 4, and the robot transfer station 2, greatly improving production efficiency, while greatly reducing labor costs, improving production efficiency and making sewing more precise.
[0089] Specifically, a lifting and tensioning device is provided at the lifting and tensioning station 3, a sewing machine is provided at the sewing station 4 (existing products, no further description is given here. The position of the sewing machine is planned in advance at the beginning of the design of the entire system, and the most suitable position can be determined according to the manufacturer's beat requirements. The existing technology will not be repeated here), and a robot is provided at the robot transfer station 2, and a transfer fixture is connected to the robot. Tables are provided at the feeding station 1 and the discharging station 5, respectively, for temporarily storing items.

[0090] Specifically, the transfer fixture includes: a bracket 2002, and at least one suction device, at least one sleeve device and a connecting device arranged on the bracket 2002. The suction device is used to suck materials, the sleeve device is used to connect with the tensioning fixture bottom plate, and the connecting device is used to connect with the robot.
[0091] The bracket 2002 is a rectangular frame structure, with its upper side and lower side parallel, front side and rear side parallel, and the upper side perpendicular to the front side. The connecting device is a flange, which is arranged on the right side of the bracket 2002. A first suction device is arranged on the upper side of the bracket, and a second suction device is arranged on the lower side of the bracket. The first suction device and the second suction device are arranged symmetrically. A first sleeve device is arranged on the upper part of the front side of the bracket, and a second sleeve device is arranged on the upper part of the rear side of the bracket.

[0093] Each of the sleeve devices includes a sleeve mounting plate and a plurality of sleeves, wherein the sleeve mounting plate is connected to the bracket, and the sleeves are connected to the sleeve mounting plate. Preferably, each sleeve device includes two sleeves. The central axes of the two sleeves in the first sleeve device are perpendicular to the front side of the bracket, and the central axes of the two sleeves in the second sleeve device are perpendicular to the rear side of the bracket. The two sleeves in the first sleeve device and the two sleeves in the second sleeve device are symmetrically arranged front to back. The sleeve mounting plate in each sleeve device can be an integral body, or it can be a single piece. Figure 3 Shown are two separate plates with 1 sleeve mounted on each plate.
[0094] Furthermore, since a flange connected to the robot is provided on the right side of the bracket, in order to avoid interference with the robot, a protruding section is provided on the left side of the upper end of the bracket, and the left sleeve mounting plate in the first sleeve device and the second sleeve device is connected to the protruding section, and the right sleeve mounting plate in the first sleeve device and the second sleeve device is connected to the left side of the right side of the bracket. In this way, there is a certain distance between the first sleeve device, the second sleeve device and the connecting device. After the first sleeve device and the second sleeve device are connected to the tensioning jig bottom plate, the tensioning jig bottom plate will not interfere with the robot.
[0095] Figure 3 and Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, the first suction device includes a first suction cup mounting plate 2003 and a second suction cup mounting plate 2004. The first suction cup mounting plate 2003 is fixedly mounted on the left end of the upper side surface of the bracket 2002, and a third suction cup 2007 and a fourth suction cup 2008 are arranged on the upper end surface of the first suction cup mounting plate 2003. The second suction cup mounting plate 2004 is fixedly mounted on the right end of the upper side surface of the bracket, and a first suction cup 2005 and a second suction cup 2006 are arranged on the upper end surface of the second suction cup mounting plate 2004.

[0096] Preferably, the suction cups all adopt existing needle suction cups, and their structure will not be described in detail. Needle suction cups are used because there are holes on cotton materials, and vacuum suction cups cannot suck them. Although leather materials have no holes, after the vacuum suction cup sucks and puts down, there will be bulges and unevenness at the position where the leather materials are sucked by the vacuum suction cups. The suction cups are set at the four corners of the rectangle because the front end of the needle suction cup is a needle, which can only pierce the edge of the leather material, otherwise there will be small holes in the useful part in the middle of the leather material. The number of needle suction cups in each suction device can be 4, 6, 8, etc. After testing, at least 4 needle suction cups are required to suck up the material. The purpose of setting two suction devices on the clamp is to improve work efficiency, because the two suction devices can be used to grab leather and cotton materials in turn at the feeding station 1, and then put down the cotton and leather materials in turn at the lifting and tensioning station 3, and then return to the feeding station 1 to grab the leather and cotton materials, and then put down the cotton and leather materials after the lifting and tensioning station 3, or you can first use two suction devices to grab two pieces of cotton materials at the feeding station 1, and then put down two pieces of cotton materials at the lifting and tensioning station, and then return to the feeding station 1 to grab two pieces of leather materials, and then put down two pieces of leather materials at the lifting and tensioning station. Which method to use can be set according to actual needs.

The third sleeve mounting plate 2019 is located on the left side of the first suction cup mounting plate 2003, and the fourth sleeve mounting plate 2021 is located between the first suction cup mounting plate 2003 and the second suction cup mounting plate 2004. A third sleeve 2020 is arranged on the rear end face of the third sleeve mounting plate 2019 and is perpendicular to it. A fourth sleeve 2022 is arranged on the rear end face of the fourth sleeve mounting plate 2021 and is perpendicular to it.
[0098] Preferably, the sleeves are all copper sleeves.

[0099] The working principle and working process of the transfer fixture are as follows: the transfer fixture is connected to the end flange of the robot through a flange, so that the transfer fixture can be driven by the robot to move. The first suction cup, the second suction cup, the third suction cup, and the fourth suction cup constitute a cotton material grabbing mechanism, which is used to grab the cotton material 2023 and can transfer the cotton material 2023 from the feeding station to the lifting and tensioning station. The fifth suction cup, the sixth suction cup, the seventh suction cup, and the eighth suction cup constitute a leather material grabbing mechanism, which is used to grab the leather material 2024 and can transfer the leather material 2024 from the feeding station to the lifting and tensioning station. The leather material grabbing mechanism and the cotton material grabbing mechanism are exactly the same, and either one can be used to grab the leather material or the cotton material. After the leather and fabric are tensioned, the first sleeve and the second sleeve are inserted into the movable pin on the tensioning jig bottom plate, and the tensioning jig bottom plate is dragged to the sewing station. Alternatively, the third sleeve and the fourth sleeve are inserted into the movable pin on the tensioning jig bottom plate, and the tensioning jig bottom plate is dragged to the sewing station. After sewing is completed, the leather grabbing mechanism grabs the material and moves it to the discharging station.

The lifting clamping mechanism 3005 is fixed to the side of the guide rail slider 3002 and is connected to the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 3004, and is used to move the lifting clamping mechanism 3005 up and down.
[0104] Furthermore, in order to fix the lifting clamping mechanism 3005 when it reaches the uppermost end, a locking cylinder connection block 3006 is provided at the top of the fixed bracket 3001, and a locking cylinder 3007 is connected to the rear side of the locking cylinder connection block 3006. The locking cylinder 3007 is a clamping self-locking cylinder, and when the lifting clamping mechanism 3005 moves to the top of the fixed bracket 3001, the locking cylinder 3007 locks it (the locking cylinder uses a strong clamping cylinder, which can clamp the uppermost beam of the lifting clamping mechanism 3005, thereby achieving locking), thereby ensuring safety.
[0105] Further, in Figure 5-1 , Figure 5-2 and Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, two buffer supports 3009 are further provided at the rear end of the tensioning workbench 3018, and a buffer 3010 is provided on each buffer support 3009 for buffering the falling of the lifting and clamping mechanism 3005. Two workbench limit blocks 3011 are further provided at the rear end of the tensioning workbench 3018 for limiting the descending position of the lifting and clamping mechanism 3005. Two sensor supports 3012 are provided at the rear side of the lower end of the support, and a sensor 3013 is provided on each sensor support 3012 for detecting whether the lifting and clamping mechanism 3005 is in place. The sensor 3013 adopts an existing photoelectric sensor, and can determine that the lifting and clamping mechanism is in place when the lifting and clamping mechanism 3005 blocks its light path, which will not be described in detail here.
[0106] Two first fixing blocks 3014 are arranged at the rear end of the tensioning workbench 3018. Each first fixing block 3014 is a U-shaped structure with an opening facing forward. An L-shaped second fixing block 3016 is arranged above each first fixing block 3014. A clamping cylinder 3017 is arranged above each second fixing block 3016. The telescopic rod of the clamping cylinder 3017 is connected to the positioning pin, and the telescopic direction of the telescopic rod is perpendicular to the tensioning workbench 3018. Two tensioning jig positioning blocks 3015 are arranged at the rear edge of the tensioning jig bottom plate 3019. The tensioning jig positioning blocks 3015 and the tensioning jig bottom plate 3019 can be fixedly connected by bolts. The two tensioning jig positioning blocks 3015 correspond to the two first fixing blocks 3014 one by one. When positioning is required, first insert the tensioning jig positioning block 3015 into the opening of the first fixed block 3014, then start the clamping cylinder 3017, and the telescopic rod of the clamping cylinder 3017 drives the positioning pin to descend and press the tensioning jig positioning block 3015. In this way, the two tensioning jig positioning blocks 3015 are pressed by the two clamping cylinders 3017 so that the tensioning jig bottom plate 3019 is fixed. After the tensioning work is completed, the clamping cylinder 3017 drives the positioning pin to move up and disengage from the tensioning jig positioning block 3015. The tensioning jig bottom plate 3019 is no longer fixed, and the tensioning jig bottom plate 3019 can be dragged away by the robot.
[0107] The structure of the tensioning jig base plate 3019 is the same as that of the existing tensioning jig base plate. In the present invention, a plurality of positioning pins 3020 and a plurality of movable pins 3021 are arranged on the upper end surface of the tensioning jig base plate 3019. The positioning pins 3020 are used for cooperating with the positioning sleeves in the tensioning jig 3008 for positioning; the movable pins 3021 are located on the front side of the positioning pins 3020, and are used for cooperating with the sleeves in the transfer fixture. After the two movable pins 3021 are simultaneously inserted into the two sleeves in a sleeve-taking device on the transfer fixture, it is convenient for the robot to move the tensioning jig base plate 3019.
[0108] like Figure 8 , Figure 9-1 As shown, the lifting and clamping mechanism 3005 includes: a lifting bracket 901, and a self-locking grasping mechanism and a pressing mechanism arranged on the lifting bracket 901.

[0110] The self-locking gripping mechanism includes a first connecting block 904, a second connecting block 906, a first cylinder 908 and a self-locking gripping hook 905. The self-locking gripping hook 905 is hinged to the first connecting block 904 and the second connecting block 906. The first cylinder 908 drives the self-locking gripping hook 905 to rotate through the first connecting block 904, thereby achieving clamping and releasing.
[0111] Specifically, first cylinder mounting plates are respectively arranged at the left and right ends of the middle part of the transverse bracket, a first cylinder 908 is arranged below each first cylinder mounting plate, a first connecting block 904 is arranged above each first cylinder mounting plate, and the upper end of the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 908 passes through the first cylinder mounting plate upwards and is connected to the middle part of the lower end of the first connecting block 904. The two first connecting blocks 904 are arranged in parallel and are both parallel to the plane where the transverse bracket is located.
[0112] Self-locking grabbing hooks 905 are respectively provided at both ends of each first connection block 904, and a second connection block 906 is provided on the transverse bracket. The self-locking grabbing hooks 905 correspond to the second connection blocks 906 one by one. In this way, there are a total of 2 first connection blocks, 4 self-locking grabbing hooks 905 and 4 second connection blocks 906. One end of each self-locking grabbing hook 905 is hinged to one end of the first connection block 904, and the middle part of each self-locking grabbing hook 905 is hinged to the second connection block 906. Specifically, long holes are respectively opened at both ends of each of the first connecting blocks 904, and double-headed threaded pins are arranged in the long holes. The double-headed threaded pins can move in the long hole along the length direction of the long hole and can rotate in the long hole at the same time. Both ends of the double-headed threaded pins extend out of the long hole. Each self-locking grasping hook 905 includes two parallel plates, each of which includes an integrally connected long strip plate and a U-shaped plate. One end of the two long strip plates is respectively connected to the two ends of the double-headed threaded pin, so that the first connecting block 904 One end of the U-shaped plate is clamped between the two long strips, and the other end of each long strip is fixedly connected to one end of the U-shaped plate, and a pin hole is opened at the connection between the long strip and the U-shaped plate. The lower end of the second connecting block 906 is fixedly connected to the bracket, and the upper part of the second connecting block 906 is located between the two plates of the self-locking grabbing hook 905. The pin passes through the pin holes on the two plates and the second connecting block 906, and the two plates are hinged to the second connecting block 906, so that each self-locking grabbing hook 905 can rotate around the pin. The open ends of the U-shaped plates on the two self-locking grabbing hooks 905 connected to the same first connecting block 904 are arranged opposite to each other. A first limit block 907 is arranged below the horizontal bracket, and the first limit block 907 corresponds to the self-locking grabbing hook 905 one by one.
[0113] Since one end of the self-locking grasping hook 905 is hinged to the long hole on the first connecting block 904, and the middle part is hinged to the second connecting block 906, when the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 908 is extended upward, the telescopic rod drives the first connecting block 904 to move upward, and the self-locking grasping hooks 905 hinged at both ends of the first connecting block 904 rotate around the pin shaft at the same time. When the inner sides of the U-shaped plates in the two self-locking grasping hooks 905 respectively support the first limit blocks 907, the long strip plates of the self-locking grasping hooks 905 at both ends of the first connecting block 904 form a certain angle with the plane where the horizontal bracket is located, and the two branches of the U-shaped plate are parallel to the plane where the horizontal bracket is located. At this time, the four self-locking grasping hooks 905 connected to the two first connections 4 can clamp the object located under the horizontal bracket. When the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 908 is retracted downward to its original position, the long strips of the self-locking gripping hooks 905 at both ends of the first connecting block 904 are parallel to the plane where the horizontal bracket is located, and the two branches of the U-shaped plate are at a certain angle to the plane where the horizontal bracket is located. At this time, the self-locking gripping hooks release the objects under the horizontal bracket.
[0114] The pressing mechanism includes: a second cylinder 9010, a button pressing block fixing plate 9016 and a button pressing block 9017. The button pressing block 9017 is arranged on the lower end surface of the button pressing block fixing plate 9016. The second cylinder 9010 can drive the button pressing block fixing plate 9016 to move up and down, thereby realizing the pressing and releasing of the button.
[0115] Specifically, two second cylinder mounting plates 909 are arranged in the middle of the transverse bracket, a second cylinder 9010 is arranged above each second cylinder mounting plate 909, and a button pressing block fixing plate 9016 is arranged below each second cylinder mounting plate 909. The lower end of the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 9010 passes through the second cylinder mounting plate 909 and is connected to the upper end surface of the button pressing block fixing plate 9016. When the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 9010 is extended or retracted, it can drive the button pressing block fixing plate 9016 to move up and down.
[0116] Preferably, in order to increase the stability of the button pressure block fixing plate 9016 when it moves up and down, a first linear bearing 9019 is respectively provided on the left and right sides of the lower end surface of each button pressure block fixing plate 9016, and a guide shaft 9020 that slides with the first linear bearing 9019 is provided, and the upper end of the guide shaft 9020 is fixedly connected to the transverse bracket, so that when the button pressure block fixing plate 9016 moves up and down, the guide shaft 9020 guides the up and down movement of the button pressure block fixing plate 9016.
[0117] Furthermore, in order to hold down the material, the pressing mechanism includes a pressing plate 9015 that can move up and down, and the pressing plate 9015 is located below the button pressing block fixing plate 9016. Specifically, linear bearing mounting plates 9011 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of each second cylinder mounting plate 909, and the linear bearing mounting plates 9011 are fixedly installed on the transverse bracket. A second linear bearing 9012 is fixedly installed below each linear bearing mounting plate 9011 (the upper end surface of the second linear bearing 9012 is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the linear bearing mounting plate 9011), and an optical axis 9013 that is slidably matched with the second linear bearing 9012 is provided. An avoidance hole is provided on the button pressing block fixing plate 9016, and an avoidance hole is provided on the linear bearing mounting plate 9011, and the optical axis 9013 can pass through the avoidance holes on the linear bearing mounting plate 9011 and the button pressing block fixing plate 9016. The lower end of the optical axis 9013 is fixedly mounted on the upper end surface of the clamping plate 9015 and is slidably matched with the second linear bearing 9012 (in order to limit the axial displacement of the optical axis 9013 and prevent it from escaping from the second linear bearing 9012, a gasket is installed on the top of the optical axis 9013, which is not shown in the figure.). The second linear bearings 9012 located on the left and right sides of the same second cylinder mounting plate 909 are connected to the same clamping plate 9015, and the clamping plate 9015 is parallel to the transverse bracket. A spring 9014 is sleeved on the optical axis 9013 (the upper end of the spring 9014 supports the lower end surface of the second linear bearing 9012, and the lower end of the spring 9014 supports the upper end surface of the clamping plate 9015). A plurality of second limit blocks 9018 are arranged on the lower surface of the rear end of the transverse bracket, which are used to cooperate with the limit blocks 3011 on the tensioning workbench 3018 to limit the lifting and clamping mechanism.
[0118] The plurality of button pressing blocks 9017 provided on the lower end surface of the button pressing block fixing plate 9016 are used to press the buttons on the tensioning fixture 3008. When the button pressing block fixing plate 9016 moves down to the right position, the button pressing blocks surround the leather pressing plate 9015.
[0119] The working principle and working process of the lifting and clamping mechanism 3005 are as follows:
[0120] The telescopic rod of the first cylinder 908 of the lifting clamping mechanism 3005 extends upward, driving the first connecting block 904 to move upward, and then driving the self-locking gripping hook 905 to rotate forward around the second connecting block 906, clamping the tensioning fixture 3008 through the four self-locking gripping hooks 905, and then driving the tensioning fixture 3008 to slide downward. Since the clamping plate 9015 is located below the button clamping block fixing plate 9016, and the optical axis 9013 connected to the clamping plate 9015 can be 2, and a spring 9014 is arranged on the optical axis 9013, so the pressing plate 9015 first presses the leather material, and then the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 9010 extends downward (at this time, the spring 9014 is compressed, and the upper end of the optical axis 9013 passes through the button pressing block fixing plate 9016), the button pressing block fixing plate 9016 moves downward with the telescopic rod, and the button pressing block 9017 on the lower end surface of the button pressing block fixing plate 9016 presses the button component in the tensioning fixture 3008 to tension the leather material. The telescopic rod of the first cylinder 908 retracts downward, driving the first connecting block 904 to move downward, and then driving the self-locking gripping hook 905 to rotate in the opposite direction around the second connecting block 906, and the self-locking gripping hook 905 releases the tensioning fixture 3008, so that the tensioning fixture 3008 is separated from this lifting and clamping mechanism, and then the lifting and clamping mechanism 3005 moves upward to complete the work.

[0140] The robot drives the transfer fixture to grab the leather and fabric and place them at the designated position (i.e., the large hole) on the tensioning fixture bottom plate 3019. The first cylinder 3004 drives the lifting clamping mechanism 3005 to drive the tensioning fixture 3008 to move downward to the top of the tensioning fixture bottom plate 3019. The positioning pin 3020 is inserted into the flange sleeve 1027 of the tensioning fixture 3008 to complete the positioning. After the tensioning fixture 3008 tensions and positions the leather, it is separated from the lifting clamping mechanism 3005. The first cylinder 3004 drives the lifting clamping mechanism 3005 to move upward to the top, and the second cylinder 7 clamps and locks it. The robot drives the transfer fixture to drag the tensioning fixture bottom plate 3019 and the leather tensioning fixture to the sewing station.
[0141] The working principle and workflow of the fully automatic tension sewing system of the present invention are as follows: at the lifting and tensioning station, the tensioning jig bottom plate 3019 is located on the tensioning workbench, and the robot drives the transfer fixture to first place the cotton material on the large hole of the tensioning jig bottom plate 3019, and then stack the leather material on the cotton material. The electromagnet is energized before the tensioning jig falls. After the electromagnet is energized, the pressing piece moving part and the pressing piece, the pointed pin moving part and the pointed pin in the tensioning unit move forward at the same time, and then the lifting and clamping mechanism 3005 clamps the tensioning jig 3008 and moves it downward to be placed on the tensioning jig bottom plate 3019, and the flange sleeve 1027 is sleeved on the positioning pin 3020 on the tensioning jig bottom plate 3019 for positioning. Since each tensioning unit surrounds the material, the pressing piece 1026 in each tensioning unit can press the material at this time. Then the button pressing block moves downward and presses the first button 1012 and the second button 1021 at the same time, and the second button 1021 drives the pointed pin 1025 to move downward and penetrate into the material, while the first button 1012 drives the pressing sheet 1026 to retreat, thereby releasing the material. Then the electromagnet is powered off, and the pressing plate moving parts and the pressing plate, the pointed pin moving parts and the pointed pin in the tensioning unit move backwards at the same time (moving toward the center of the large hole is moving forward, and moving backwards is moving backward). Since the pointed pin 1025 is inserted into the material, the pointed pin 1025 also drives the material to move backwards. Moreover, since there are multiple tensioning units around the material, when all tensioning units work at the same time, the pointed pin 1025 in each tensioning unit pulls the material backwards from all directions, thereby achieving the tensioning of the material. Then release the button and the pressing block, the pointed pin 1025 drives the material to move upward slightly, and at the same time the pressing plate moving block 1016 moves forward and returns to its original position. At this time, since the material has moved upward, the pressing plate is located below the material, thereby supporting the material, and the tensioning work is completed.
[0142] After the material is tensioned, the lifting clamping mechanism releases the tensioning jig. At this time, the tensioning jig, the tensioning jig base plate and the tensioned material are together. The robot cooperates with the sleeve in the transfer fixture and the moving pin in the tensioning jig base plate to move the tensioning jig base plate, the material and the tensioning jig to the sewing machine at the sewing station next to the lifting and tensioning station. The sewing machine sews the tensioned material and sews the leather and cotton materials in the material into one. After sewing, the robot moves the tensioning jig base plate, the sewn material and the tensioning jig to the tensioning station through the transfer fixture. The lifting clamping mechanism then grabs the tensioning jig and drives the tensioning jig to move upward away from the sewn material. The robot transfers the sewn material to the discharge station, and then the robot sucks the cotton and leather materials onto the tensioning jig base plate for unloading. The tensioning sequence of a lifting and tensioning station and the sewing sequence of two sewing stations can be designed according to the robot's beat, so that the robot can be fully utilized to transfer materials at multiple stations, and the lifting and tensioning stations and sewing stations work at the same time, which greatly improves production efficiency. After the above sewing process is completed, multiple pieces of material are formed, and then other processes are used to splice the multiple pieces of material into car seats.
[0143] In order to improve production efficiency, when using Figure 1 and Figure 2In the embodiment shown, four tensioning jig base plates and four tensioning jigs can be used. In the initial state, the four tensioning jig base plates and the four tensioning jigs are placed together in a one-to-one correspondence (the locating pin on a tensioning jig base plate is inserted into the flange sleeve of the corresponding tensioning jig) to form a set of tensioning mechanisms, and a set of tensioning mechanisms is placed in each of the lifting tensioning station, two buffer stations, and one sewing station. Then the lifting tensioning device first lifts up the tensioning fixture located at the lifting tensioning station, and the robot puts the material on the tensioning fixture bottom plate, and then moves the tensioning fixture down and presses it on the tensioning fixture bottom plate for tensioning. In this way, the first set of tensioning mechanisms completes the work, and the robot drags the tensioning mechanism with the tensioned material to the first sewing station to start sewing, and then the robot moves the next set of tensioning mechanisms to the lifting tensioning station, and the lifting tensioning device repeats the above action for tensioning, and the robot drags the tensioning mechanism with the tensioned material to another sewing station for sewing, so that the two sewing stations sew at the same time. While sewing, the lifting tensioning station uses the other two sets of tensioning mechanisms for tensioning, and drags the tensioning mechanism with the tensioned material to the buffer stations on both sides to wait. Since the sewing time is relatively long, after the sewing machine completes sewing, the robot drags a set of tensioning mechanisms with sewn materials to the lifting and tensioning station. The lifting and tensioning device grabs and moves up the tensioning fixture. The robot puts the sewn materials into the discharging station. At this time, there is an idle tensioning mechanism at the lifting and tensioning station. The robot grabs the unsewn materials from the feeding station to the lifting and tensioning station, and uses the tensioning mechanism that has just been idle to tension them. After tensioning, it is dragged into the buffer station 7 to wait for sewing, and the other tensioning mechanisms that have completed sewing are treated in the same way. In this way, four sets of tensioning mechanisms are used to form a cycle of automatic work. This layout is currently the most efficient layout for reducing costs. The sewing machine does not need to stop, and all stations are as busy as possible.
