Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of quilting machines, and in particular to a horizontally arranged quilting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A quilting machine is a textile machine used to sew linear patterns on the surfaces of mattresses, bedspreads, quilts, etc. Quilting machines used to sew quilts can be divided into two categories according to the number of needles and the number of sewing patterns: straight quilting machines and computer quilting machines. Straight quilting machines usually have 7 needles, 9 needles, and 11 needles. This type of quilting machine can only sew straight lines; computer quilting machines are single-needle designs, and use a computer visual interface to control the movement of the machine to achieve pattern sewing. A quilting machine is literally a quilting machine. Quilting is sewing interlayers with long needles. In order to fix the cotton wool inside, people initially quilted by hand. After the sewing machine was invented, people began to study quilting machines. Taking quilts as an example, quilts are generally composed of two parts: the base material and the outer textile. In order to make the outer textile of the quilt fit tightly with the inner core and increase the beauty and practicality, quilting is required. From manual quilting to mechanical multi-needle quilting machines and then to computer quilting machines, technology has been continuously improved, and production efficiency and product quality have also been significantly improved.

The end of the output shaft of the motor 5 extends into the driving groove and is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 3. A side column is arranged at the lower end of the quilting operation frame 4, and the threaded rod 3 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the side column. The guide device includes a second side plate 7 fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame 1, and a guide groove is arranged at the upper end of the second side plate 7, and a sliding rod 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide groove. Another side column is arranged at the other side of the quilting operation frame 4, and the sliding rod 8 is slidably connected to the side wall of the side column.

[0019] Among them, a plurality of support frames 12 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1, and the plurality of support frames 12 are arranged at equal intervals inside the frame 1, which can be used to support cotton fabrics to prevent the cotton fabrics from collapsing when not clamped and fixed. Two fixing rods 13 are arranged above the plurality of support frames 12, and the lower ends of the two fixing rods 13 are respectively connected to the plurality of support frames 12 through a plurality of sliding devices. The sliding device includes a slide groove penetrating the lower end of the fixing rod 13, and a guide block 14 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the slide groove. A card slot is penetrating the upper end of the support frame 12 at the corresponding position, and the support frame 12 at the corresponding position is slidably connected in the slide groove, and the guide block 14 is slidably connected in the card slot. When the fixing rod 13 is moved, the corresponding guide block 14 is slidably connected in the card slot on the side wall of the support frame 12, and the sliding connection of the support frame 12 in the slide groove can play a role in positioning the fixing rod 13.

[0020] Specifically, positioning devices are provided through the side walls of the two fixing rods 13, and the positioning devices include a threaded groove that is provided through the side wall of the fixing rod 13, and a positioning screw 10 is threadedly connected in the threaded groove. The tail end of the positioning screw 10 extends through the sliding groove at the corresponding position and is rotatably connected to a clamping block 15. The clamping block 15 is located in the slot on the side wall of the support frame 12 at the corresponding position and abuts against its inner bottom. The positioning screw 10 at this position can be rotated to move the corresponding clamping block 15 into the slot. The lower end of the clamping block 15 and the inner bottom of the slot are tightly abutted against each other to limit the position of the fixing rod 13.

[0021] Specifically, a fixing device is provided at the upper ends of the two fixed rods 13, and the fixing device includes a T-slot provided at the upper ends of the fixed rods 13. A plurality of movable clamping seats 9 are provided above the fixed rods 13. A T-slider 18 is fixedly connected to the lower ends of the plurality of movable clamping seats 9. The plurality of T-slider 18 is slidably connected in the T-slot. A clamping groove is provided at the lower ends of the plurality of movable clamping seats 9 and the upper ends of the fixed rods 13. A small telescopic rod 16 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the clamping groove on the plurality of movable clamping seats 9. A clamping plate 17 is fixedly connected to the extended ends of the plurality of small telescopic rods 16. The corresponding movable clamping seat 9 is moved to allow the T-slider 18 to slide in the T-slot. The small telescopic rod 16 provided at the clamping groove in the movable clamping seat 9 can change its position with the clamping block 17, so as to facilitate finding the positioning and clamping position of the cotton fabric and facilitate use by the operator.

[0022] It is worth mentioning that the side walls of the two fixed rods 13 are fixedly connected with extension devices, and the extension devices include a positioning rod 11 fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed rod 13, and the other end of the positioning rod 11 is sleeved with an extension rod 19. The structure of the extension rod 19 is the same as that of the fixed rod 13. When the length of the fixed rod 13 is insufficient, the operator can insert the required extension rod 19 into the positioning rod 11 on the side wall of the fixed rod 13, so as to lengthen the length of the fixed rod 13 and facilitate adaptation to larger cotton fabrics.

[0023] It is worth mentioning that anti-slip grooves are provided at the lower ends of the plurality of clamping plates 17 and the lower ends of the plurality of clamping blocks 15. The anti-slip grooves are provided to increase the friction between the clamping blocks 15 and the clamping plates 17 to avoid sliding.

[0024] In the present invention, the operator uses the device to perform quilting operations, places the cotton fabrics to be operated on multiple support frames 12, moves two fixed rods 13, and the two fixed rods 13 are moved to the two sides of the cotton fabric respectively, so that the two sides of the cotton fabric enter the clamping grooves of the two fixed rods 13 respectively, and then moves the multiple mobile clamping seats 9 on the two fixed rods 13. The multiple mobile clamping seats 9 slide in the corresponding T-slots through the corresponding T-slot sliders 18, thereby changing the position of the corresponding clamping plate 17. When the operator locates the fixed position of the cotton fabric, the controller in the prior art controls the multiple small telescopic rods 16 to telescopically move, thereby driving the corresponding clamping plate 17 to move in the clamping groove on the mobile clamping seat 9 to the clamping groove on the side wall of the fixed rod 13, and then the edge of the cotton fabric can be clamped.

[0025] Move the fixing rods 13 on both sides to fully stretch the clamped cotton fabric. At this time, the operator can tighten the positioning screws 10 on the two fixing rods 13 to allow the tail ends of the positioning screws 10 to drive the corresponding clamping blocks 15 to move into the corresponding slots and tightly against the inner walls thereof, thereby fixing the positions of the fixing rods 13. At this time, the operator can control the motor 5 on one side to start through the controller in the prior art, and the motor 5 cooperates with the threaded rod 3 driven by the motor to drive the quilting operation frame 4 to move on the frame 1, so that quilting operations can be performed.
