Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wig styling technology, specifically an automatic flipping styling production line for wig manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] A wig is a headdress often used to decorate and cover up hair loss or thinning. It is typically made of human or animal hair, or synthetic fibers. During production, combing is an essential step to ensure the quality and realism of the wig. This combing primarily removes impurities and inspects the quality of the hair strands, discarding split ends or weak sections. Current combing methods mainly involve manually combing and pulling the bundled wig on a combing plate, or using a roller-type combing production line. Because the combing needles on the combing plate are sharp and have a large surface area, a common manual combing technique is to grasp one end of the bundled wig, slap it directly onto the combing plate, and then pull it out, repeating this several times to remove impurities and weaker sections. This method is inefficient, typically only combing one bundle at a time, and the sharp needles can easily prick the worker's hand during the slapping process. Automated production lines, however, cannot perform multiple combing operations at a single station and require multiple rollers.

[0003] Therefore, this application proposes an automatic flipping combing production line to overcome the defects of the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention provides an automatic flipping and combing production line for wig making.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic flipping and combing production line for wig making, including a combing station, which is disposed below the wig bundle for combing the flowing wig bundle;

[0006] The conveyor line is located directly above the combing station to guide the flow of the wig bundles;

[0007] A fixed frame, which is set at the end of the conveyor line and the fixed frame, is used for feeding materials onto the conveyor line;

[0008] The combing station includes a comber, which is composed of a chain plate and combing needles. The comber is driven to rotate and comb the hair bundles installed on the combing station.

[0009] The conveyor line includes a clamp that holds and conveys the wig bundles delivered by the fixing frame over the combing station at its end.

[0010] Preferably, the clamp includes a clamp plate horizontally mounted on the transmission chain and a fixed plate movably hinged to the clamp plate. The conveyor line also includes a second top plate mounted inside its frame, the second top plate being located on the lower side of the frame and parallel to the horizontal clamp plate.

[0011] The vertical distance between the clamping plate and the top plate is greater than or equal to the thickness of the fixing plate.

[0012] Preferably, the conveyor line includes spring rods installed on both sides of its exterior, with a fixing clamp fixedly installed at the bottom end of the spring rod. A through groove is provided at the bottom of the conveyor line frame for the fixing clamp to pass through into its interior. The inner end of the fixing clamp is fixedly connected to the top plate two to elastically support the top plate two.

[0013] The end of the second top plate is designed as a slope.

[0014] Preferably, the conveyor line further includes limiting plates disposed on both sides inside its frame;

[0015] The clamp is fixedly installed on the top support blocks at both ends of the fixed plate. Both the top support blocks and the fixed plate are movably sleeved on the rotating shaft. The end of the rotating shaft of the fixed plate is provided with an elastic element to push the fixed plate in a single direction.

[0016] The limiting plates on both sides restrict the moving top support block within the gap.

[0017] Preferably, the limiting plate comprises three parts: a horizontal segment one, an inclined segment, and a horizontal segment two. The inclined segments on the two limiting plates are parallel, and the horizontal segment one and the horizontal segment two are aligned but not horizontally aligned.

[0018] The horizontal segment one, the inclined segment and the horizontal segment two all slide and come into contact with the moving top support block.

[0019] Preferably, the chain plate includes a slot on its surface, and a main shaft is rotatably mounted inside the slot, with the combing needles disposed on the main shaft.

[0020] A pressure plate is installed on the inner side of the combing station. The pressure plate slides against the end of the main shaft to restrict the combing needles from standing upright. A section is opened in the middle of the pressure plate.

[0021] The fault and the vertical projection of the inclined segment intersect.

[0022] Preferably, the spindle and combing needles are tilted to one side at a 5° angle when standing.

[0023] Preferably, the main shaft extends outward through the end of the chain plate and is equipped with rollers. A top plate is installed on the inner side of the combing station. The top plate intersects with one end of the cross section of the pressure plate in a horizontal projection. During the movement of the comber, the rollers on it roll into contact with the bottom end of the top plate.

[0024] Preferably, a rubber plate is provided at the bottom of the top plate, and the rubber plate is rotatably connected to the roller.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0026] This invention uses a clamp to hold a bundle of hair above a combing station. One end of the clamped hair bundle hangs down onto the combing needles at the station, where it is combed. Simultaneously, the combing needles move cyclically with the station's drive, forming a flowing combing plate that actively combs the hair bundle. This eliminates the need for manual combing by workers, significantly reducing safety hazards and improving processing efficiency.

[0027] When the clamp is positioned between the inclined sections, the top support slides along the slope of the inclined section, causing a horizontal misalignment between the fixing plate and the clamp. The wig bundle held in the middle begins to deflect due to this misalignment, adjusting the subsequent combing posture. When the clamp passes the inclined section and reaches horizontal section one or horizontal section two, it continues to move in the misaligned state, allowing for continued combing of the wig after flipping. This adjusts the combing position of the wig and removes split ends that were originally parallel to the combing needles and could not be hooked, improving the cleaning effect.

[0028] The vertical projection of this fault line intersects with that of the inclined section, causing the combing needles to fall horizontally within the fault line. The main purpose of this design is to stop the combing action within the fault line area, detaching them from the hair bundle. This prevents the combing needles from intersecting and tangling with the hair bundle when the clamp and fixing plate misalign and rotate, thus ensuring production quality.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] 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.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic flipping and combing production line for wig making, including a combing station 100, which is disposed below the wig bundle for combing the flowing wig bundle;

[0043] The conveyor line 200 is positioned directly above the combing station 100 to guide the flow of the wig bundles;

[0044] A fixing frame 300 is provided at the end of the conveyor line 200 and the fixing frame 300 for feeding materials onto the conveyor line 200;

[0045] The combing station 100 includes a comber 101, which is composed of a chain plate 1011 and a combing needle 1013. The comber 101 drives the hairpiece installed on the combing station 100 to rotate and comb the hairpiece bundle in a circular motion.

[0046] The conveyor line 200 includes a clamp 201, which clamps and conveys the hair wig bundles conveyed by the fixing frame 300 over the combing station 100 at its end.

[0047] The clamp 201 holds the hair bundle as it passes above the combing station 100. One end of the clamped hair bundle hangs down onto the combing needles 1013 of the combing station 100, where it is combed as it passes. Simultaneously, the combing needles 1013 move cyclically with the drive of the combing station 100, forming a flowing combing plate that actively combs the hair bundle. The fixing bracket 300 is used to transport the hair bundle between the clamping plate 2011 and the fixing plate 2012 for clamping.

[0048] like Figure 10 As shown, the clamp 201 includes a clamping plate 2011 horizontally mounted on the transmission chain and a fixing plate 2012 movably hinged to the clamping plate 2011. The conveyor line 200 also includes a top plate 203 mounted on the inner side of its frame. The top plate 203 is located on the lower side of the frame and remains parallel to the horizontal clamping plate 2011.

[0049] The vertical distance between the clamping plate 2011 and the top plate 203 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the fixing plate 2012.

[0050] The clamping plate 2011 and the fixing plate 2012 are in a rotating opening and closing relationship, which can clamp, carry, transport, and release the hairpiece. The top plate 203 is used to control the closing of the clamping plate 2011 and the fixing plate 2012. Figure 10 As shown, the clamping plate 2011 pushes against the fixing plate 2012 to close it and clamp the binding end of the wig bundle delivered from the fixing frame 300.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the conveyor line 200 includes spring rods 204 installed on both sides of its exterior. A fixing clip 205 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the spring rod 204. A through groove is opened at the bottom of the frame of the conveyor line 200 so that the fixing clip 205 can pass through into its interior. The inner end of the fixing clip 205 is fixedly connected to the top plate 203 to elastically support the top plate 203.

[0052] The end of the top plate 203 is designed as a slope.

[0053] The main purpose of the fixing clip 205 is to allow the height of the top plate 203 to be flexibly adjusted in the vertical direction, thus adapting to the diameter of the binding end of the hair tie. When the diameter of the binding section of the hair tie is relatively large, the opening between the binding end and the clip 2011 and the fixing plate 2012 is relatively large. Therefore, the larger opening requires the top plate 203 to be displaced downwards to accommodate it. The reverse is also true.

[0054] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the conveyor line 200 also includes limiting plates 202 disposed on both sides inside its frame;

[0055] The clamp 201 is fixedly installed on the top support blocks 2014 at both ends of the fixed plate 2012. The top support blocks 2014 and the fixed plate 2012 are movably sleeved on the rotating shaft. The end of the rotating shaft of the fixed plate 2012 is provided with an elastic element 2013 to push the fixed plate 2012 in a single direction.

[0056] The limiting plates 202 on both sides restrict the moving top support block 2014 within the gap.

[0057] When only one end of the support block 2014 slides into contact with the limiting plate 202, the elastic element 2013 can support it against the limiting plate 202, preventing it from detaching while moving along the limiting plate 202. The elastic element 2013 can also control the fixed plate 2012 to return to its initial state. The cooperation between the limiting plate 202, the support block 2014, and the elastic element 2013 is mainly to change the position of the fixed plate 2012 on the clamping plate 2011 and to limit the movement of the fixed plate 2012.

[0058] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the limiting plate 202 is composed of three parts: horizontal segment 1 2021, inclined segment 2022 and horizontal segment 2023. The inclined segments 2022 on the two limiting plates 202 are parallel, and the horizontal segment 1 2021 and horizontal segment 2023 are aligned but not horizontally aligned.

[0059] The horizontal segment 2021, the inclined segment 2022, and the horizontal segment 2023 all slide and come into contact with the moving top support block 2014.

[0060] Horizontal section 1 (2021), inclined section 2022, and horizontal section 2 (2023) are mainly used to control the relative posture of the fixing plate 2012 and the clamping plate 2011. When the clamp 201 is located on horizontal section 1 (2021) and horizontal section 2 (2023), the top support block 2014 remains in contact with both as the clamping plate 2011 moves horizontally. When the clamp 201 is located between inclined sections 2022, the top support block 2014 slides along the slope of inclined section 2022, causing the fixing plate 2012 and the clamping plate 2011 to begin to horizontally misalign. The hair wig bundle clamped in the middle begins to deflect due to this misalignment, adjusting the subsequent styling posture. When the clamp 201 passes the inclined section 2022 and reaches the first horizontal section 2021 or the second horizontal section 2023, it continues to move forward while maintaining the misaligned state. This allows for continued combing of the wig after flipping, adjusting the combing position and removing split ends inside the wig bundle that were originally parallel to the combing needles and could not be hooked. This improves the cleaning effect.

[0061] Furthermore, those skilled in the art can configure multiple tilting segments 2022 according to processing requirements to allow for repeated adjustments to the deflection of the wig bundle. This application only discloses an embodiment with one tilting segment 2022, but this solution provides this concept for those skilled in the art to make reasonable modifications and designs in actual working environments. Setting multiple tilting segments 2022 or changing the tilt angle and configuration of the tilting segments 2022 does not exceed the scope of this application.

[0062] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the chain plate 1011 includes a slot 1015, on which a main shaft 1012 is rotatably mounted. The combing needles 1013 are disposed on the main shaft 1012.

[0063] A pressure plate 103 is installed on the inner side of the combing station 100. The pressure plate 103 slides against the end of the main shaft 1012 to restrict the combing needles 1013 from standing upright. A section is opened in the middle of the pressure plate 103.

[0064] The fault intersects with the vertical projection of the inclined segment 2022.

[0065] The slot 1015 serves as a storage space for the combing needles 1013 after they have fallen down. The main shaft 1012 and the chain plate 1011 are movably connected, so the main shaft 1012 will tilt downwards until it becomes horizontal after being released from the limit of the pressure plate 103. The pressure plate 103 is located on the outside of the main shaft 1012, with its bottom abutting against the top of the main shaft 1012. Therefore, the main shaft 1012 will not change its standing posture as long as it remains inside the pressure plate 103 during movement. However, the pressure plate 103 is not continuous; it has a section in its middle. This section intersects with the vertical projection of the inclined section 2022, causing the combing needles 1013 to fall horizontally within the section. The main purpose of this design is to stop the combing work within the section and detach it from the hair bundle. This prevents the combing needles from intertwining and tangling with the hair bundle when the clamp plate 2011 and the fixing plate 2012 are misaligned and rotated, ensuring production quality.

[0066] In addition, those skilled in the art can set up equal faults based on the conditions set for the aforementioned inclined segment 2022 to achieve coordination with it.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, the main shaft 1012 and the combing needle 1013 are tilted to one side by 5° when standing. The tilt angle is mainly set so that when the main shaft 1012 and the combing needle 1013 are not constrained by the pressure plate 103, they can fall to one side due to the tilt of the center of gravity and eventually lie flat to temporarily stop the combing work.

[0068] Those in the field can also set its tilting conditions in other ways, such as setting a reasonable counterweight at the top of the combing needle 1013, or using other tilting mechanisms to drive the combing needle 1013 to tilt.

[0069] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the shaft of the main shaft 1012 extends outward through the end of the chain plate 1011 and is equipped with a roller 1014. The inner side of the combing station 100 is equipped with a top plate 102. The top plate 102 and one end of the cross section of the pressure plate 103 have an intersection in horizontal projection. During the movement of the comber 101, the roller 1014 on it rolls into contact with the bottom end of the top plate 102.

[0070] Roller 1014 is mounted on the end of the main shaft 1012, and the two are fixedly connected. When roller 1014 rotates, it drives the main shaft 1012 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the combing needles 1013 to stand up. When the comber 101 moves to one end of the break, it first passes under the top plate 102. During this process, its roller 1014 rolls and contacts the bottom of the top plate 102, causing roller 1014 to rotate, driving the main shaft 1012 and combing needles 1013 to rotate synchronously and stand up. After standing up, the main shaft 1012 then leaves the break and enters under the pressure plate 103, where it is again limited by the pressure plate 103, thereby allowing the combing work of the first part of the hairpiece to be performed.

[0071] like Figure 6 As shown, a rubber plate 1021 is provided at the bottom of the top plate 102, and the rubber plate 1021 is tactilely connected to the roller 1014.

[0072] The rubber plate 1021 has good elasticity and damping, and can be squeezed and deformed when in contact with the outer periphery of the roller 1014 to allow it to pass smoothly. At the same time, its damping allows the roller 1014 to roll and rotate during movement, thereby driving the combing needle 1013 to stand up after passing through the break of the pressure plate 103.

[0073] Working principle and usage process of this invention:

[0074] The clamp 201 holds the hair bundle as it passes above the combing station 100. One end of the clamped hair bundle hangs down onto the combing needles 1013 of the combing station 100, where it is combed as it passes. Simultaneously, the combing needles 1013 move cyclically with the drive of the combing station 100, forming a flowing combing plate that actively combs the hair bundle. Furthermore, when the clamping plate 2011 and the fixing plate 2012 clamp and transport the hair bundle, they can cause the hair bundle to rotate, actively adjusting its combing posture and improving combing efficiency.

[0076] 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.
