Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of garment production technology, and in particular to a garment conveying control method, system, computer equipment, and readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of automation technology, it has been gradually applied to various industrial fields. Automation technology has improved the intelligence level of factories and optimized factory management. Currently, in the garment production process, garment assembly line systems are widely used by garment companies due to their high level of intelligence and ease of management. The use of these systems has increased factory production capacity, which also means that a large number of garments need to be transported by the system in a timely manner, thus requiring higher conveying speeds.

[0003] However, the efficiency of conveying in garment production line systems is low due to factors such as the characteristics and cost of roller hangers. Therefore, a solution that can improve conveying efficiency is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Based on the waiting time, the pusher on the drive chain of the garment conveying device is driven to convey the hanger to be conveyed from the push station to the target station.

[0030] Thirdly, this application also provides a computer device, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to perform the following steps:

[0031] If there is a hanger to be conveyed at the first station corresponding to the buffer device of the garment conveying equipment, the buffer device is controlled to intercept the hanger to be conveyed and update the dynamic parameters of the hanger to be conveyed; the buffer device is located on the conveying guide rail of the garment conveying equipment.

[0048] The aforementioned garment conveying control method, system, computer equipment, computer-readable storage medium, and computer program product, by setting a buffer device on the conveyor rail of the garment conveying equipment, first intercepts the garment to be conveyed during hanger conveying, appropriately buffering the hanger. Once a preset release condition is met, the hanger is released. This buffer device can decelerate the hanger and reduce its swaying amplitude. Then, under the preset release condition, a lowering solenoid valve is controlled to release the hanger, timing the waiting time for the hanger to stabilize. Based on this waiting time, a pusher on the drive chain in the garment conveying equipment is driven to convey the hanger from the push station to the target station. This method eliminates the need to wait for the garment to stabilize and for the previous hanger to be lifted and conveyed before releasing the next piece, fully utilizing the idle waiting time and improving conveying efficiency.

[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0061] In order to clearly describe the technical solution of this application and facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the key concepts involved in this application will be explained below.

[0062] Currently, garment assembly line systems are widely used in garment production due to their high level of intelligence and ease of management. The use of these systems increases factory production capacity, but also necessitates the timely transport of large quantities of garments, placing higher demands on transport speed.

[0063] In the garment conveyor system, each garment is transported by a roller hanger. During transport, the roller hanger slides forward on an inclined circular tube under gravity or is pushed upward by pushers on a chain driven by a motor. Due to air resistance, the hanger sways back and forth during this sliding process, with the amplitude of the sway increasing with speed. When the hanger stops, it rolls and sways back and forth at the stopping point due to inertia. This rolling and swaying may cause the pushers to press against the rollers, or two hangers to hook together when close together, affecting equipment operation and even damaging the garment.

[0064] In related technologies, to ensure the stability of the transmission, the clothes to be transmitted must wait until the clothes have stabilized after swaying and the previous clothes hanger has finished lifting and transmitting before the next piece can be released, which is relatively inefficient.

[0065] Therefore, to address the technical problem of low transmission efficiency of clothing hangers, a clothing transmission control method is proposed. This method adds a buffer device to the clothing transmission equipment and combines the swaying and waiting of the clothing hangers with the operation of the motor to make full use of the idle waiting time and maximize the transmission efficiency.

[0066] The garment conveying control method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 In the application environment shown, terminal 102 communicates with garment conveying equipment 104 via a network. A data storage system can store the data that terminal 102 needs to process. The data storage system can be set up separately, integrated into terminal 102, or placed in the cloud or on other network servers. If the terminal detects that there is a garment hanger to be conveyed at the first station corresponding to the buffer device of the garment conveying equipment, it controls the buffer device to intercept the garment hanger and update the dynamic parameters of the garment hanger. The buffer device is located on the conveyor rail of the garment conveying equipment. If the dynamic parameters meet the preset release conditions, the terminal controls the buffer device to release the garment hanger, which is then conveyed along the conveyor rail from the first station to the second station corresponding to the lower solenoid valve of the garment conveying equipment. Under the condition of meeting the preset release conditions, the terminal controls the lower solenoid valve to release the garment hanger. If the garment hanger is detected to have been conveyed to the push station on the conveyor rail, the terminal counts the waiting time for the garment hanger to stabilize. Based on the waiting time, the terminal drives the push block on the drive chain in the garment conveying equipment to convey the garment hanger from the push station to the target station.

[0067] The terminal 102 can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers or different types of host computers. A host computer can be understood as a computer used to control robots and automated equipment on an automated production line in a factory. Communication between the terminal 102 and the garment conveying equipment can use RS-232 serial communication and / or Ethernet communication. The various components of the garment conveying equipment can also communicate with each other using RS-232 serial communication and / or Ethernet. Figure 2 As shown, this is an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1The illustrated architecture diagram for the application environment includes the terminal controller, sensors, motors, solenoid valves, and card readers of the garment conveying equipment. Sensors detect the presence of hangers (e.g., hangers to be conveyed or hangers currently being conveyed) at preset workstations. Solenoid valves respond to control commands sent by the controller, intercepting or releasing hangers to be conveyed. Card readers identify passing hangers, obtain corresponding hanger information, and transmit this information to the controller. The controller and server exchange hanger information and other data via Ethernet, storing the data on the server.

[0068] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a garment conveying control method is provided, which is applied to... Figure 1 Taking the terminal in the example, the explanation includes the following steps 302 to 310. Wherein:

[0069] Step 302: If there is a hanger to be conveyed at the first station corresponding to the buffer device of the garment conveying equipment, then control the buffer device to intercept the hanger to be conveyed and update the dynamic parameters of the hanger to be conveyed; the buffer device is located on the conveying guide rail of the garment conveying equipment.

[0070] The garment conveying equipment includes a first conveying rail where roller hangers slide forward on an inclined circular tube under gravity, and a second conveying rail that is pushed upward by pushers on a motor-driven chain. The connection between the first and second conveying rails can be achieved in various ways, which will not be elaborated here. The garment conveying equipment includes a first station corresponding to a buffer device, a second station corresponding to a solenoid valve, a push-out station, and a third station corresponding to a full inspection sensor. The garment conveying equipment sequentially transports roller hangers through the loading station, the first station, the second station, the push-out station, and the third station. Dynamic parameters can include the sliding speed and the swing amplitude. The buffer device is located before the solenoid valve in the garment conveying equipment. It is used to pre-stop and decelerate the roller hangers to be conveyed, ensuring that the speed of the hanger rolling is reduced and the swing amplitude is reduced before releasing it to the release valve. The hangers to be conveyed later are temporarily stored at the buffer valve. After the hangers before the release valve are released, the hangers after the release valve are released, which ensures the continuity of hanger conveying. The reduction here can be to reduce the quantity to meet the preset release conditions, which can be determined according to actual needs. The number of hangers to be transferred can be one or a batch.

[0071] For example, a garment hanger to be conveyed is placed at the loading position of the garment conveying equipment. The garment hanger slides along the conveying guide rail under the action of gravity to the first station corresponding to the buffer device. If the sensor corresponding to the first station detects the garment hanger to be conveyed, it generates a feedback signal and transmits it to the controller. Based on the feedback signal, the controller controls the buffer device to close and intercept the garment hanger to be conveyed, so as to slow down the garment hanger first, adjust the conveying rhythm, and avoid the garment hanger at the next station from getting caught when the two garment hangers are close to each other during the rolling and swinging process due to the large speed and swing amplitude, which would affect the operation of the equipment or even damage the clothes.

[0072] Step 304: If the dynamic parameters meet the preset release conditions, control the buffer device to release the garment hanger to be conveyed, and the garment hanger to be conveyed is conveyed along the conveyor rail from the first station to the second station corresponding to the lower solenoid valve of the garment conveying equipment.

[0073] The preset release conditions can be that the speed and / or swing amplitude reach their respective preset ranges. The lowering solenoid valve can be a normally closed solenoid valve or a proportional solenoid valve, etc., and its selection depends on the system response speed and control accuracy requirements, which are not specifically limited here. For example, if the dynamic parameters meet the preset release conditions, the buffer solenoid valve in the buffer device is opened to release the garment hanger to be conveyed. The garment hanger is then conveyed along the conveyor rail from the first station to the second station corresponding to the lowering solenoid valve of the garment conveying equipment.

[0074] Step 306: If the preset release conditions are met, control the lowering solenoid valve to release the clothes hanger to be transferred.

[0075] The preset release conditions can be control logic related to the action of the solenoid valve, such as the hanger has reached the designated position, the solenoid valve itself is in normal condition, and the downstream path is unobstructed. These conditions can be determined by sensor feedback signals and control system commands.

[0076] For example, if the downstream path corresponding to the solenoid valve is unobstructed, the solenoid valve is controlled to release the clothes hanger to be conveyed, and the clothes hanger to be conveyed slides along the conveyor rail under the action of gravity.

[0077] Step 308: If it is detected that the clothes hanger to be conveyed has been conveyed to the push station on the conveyor rail, the waiting time for the clothes hanger to shake and sway until it stabilizes is recorded.

[0078] The push station can be an intermediate position where the hanger is after it has been lowered. It needs to stabilize before it can continue to be conveyed. A position sensor can be used to identify whether the hanger has reached this area. The conveyor rail between the second station and the push station can be semi-circular to match the motor gears.

[0079] The swaying waiting time can be the time required for the hanger to return to a stable state at the push station. It can be monitored by an accelerometer or image recognition system, or determined based on the position of the hanger to be conveyed and a preset relationship between position and time. For example, the swaying waiting time detection method can include using an accelerometer to collect the vibration frequency of the hanger and using a filtering algorithm to determine whether it tends to be stable.

[0080] It is understandable that when the roller oscillates on the semi-circular track, its trajectory can be approximated as a cycloid. The parametric equation of the cycloid is:

[0081]

[0082] Where x is the current lateral position of the hanger roller, y is the current longitudinal position of the hanger roller, R is the length of the cycloidal line, or the radius of the bend at the push station; θ is the angle through which the roller rotates.

[0083] The motion of the roller on the semi-circular track can be considered as simple harmonic motion. Due to the presence of friction, the amplitude of the swaying continuously decreases. Its final running time t can be calculated using the following formula:

[0084] Where R is the radius of the bend, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and μ is the friction coefficient, which is related to the material and weight.

[0085] The amplitude of the hanger's swing at any given moment can be determined by combining the position (x, y) of the roller hanger with the time t. The specific implementation method can be achieved using existing techniques and will not be elaborated upon here. If the amplitude of the swing is sufficiently small, i.e., within the allowable preset range, then the position is considered relatively stable, and the hanger is in a stable state.

[0086] For example, by starting a timer after the hanger arrives at the push station and continuously monitoring the stability of the hanger until the push conditions are met, the technical effect of preventing transmission failure or collision accidents caused by hanger shaking can be achieved.

[0087] Step 310: Based on the waiting time, drive the pusher block on the drive chain in the garment conveying device to convey the hanger to be conveyed from the push station to the target station.

[0088] The drive chain is the core power transmission component in garment conveying equipment. It is typically driven by a motor that rotates a sprocket, which in turn moves a pusher block. Precise control can be achieved using a servo motor or a stepper motor. The pusher block can be an actuator that acts directly on the garment hanger, responsible for pushing it from one position to another. It can be linked to the drive chain through a linkage mechanism or a cam mechanism.

[0089] For example, if the hanger to be conveyed is the first hanger, and the waiting time meets the preset anti-sway time, if the pusher block moves to the motor stop switch at this time, it will drive the pusher block on the drive chain in the garment conveying equipment to start lifting and conveying the hanger, transferring it from the waiting station to the target station along the conveyor rail. It can be understood that the roller hanger slides down the inclined circular tube (i.e., the conveyor rail) under gravity, waits at the buffer device to reduce its speed and sway amplitude, and then proceeds to the lowering solenoid valve to wait for lifting and conveying. After release, the next hanger will immediately wait for timing processing.

[0090] In the above-mentioned garment conveying control method, the following steps are taken: intercepting the hanger at the first station and updating its dynamic parameters; determining whether to release the hanger based on the dynamic parameters; controlling the lowering solenoid valve to allow the hanger to enter the next stage; detecting the hanger's stable state and recording the waiting time; and driving the pusher block to push the hanger to the target station based on the stabilization time. This method eliminates the need to wait for the garment to stabilize and for the previous hanger to be lifted and conveyed before releasing the next garment, thereby increasing the hanger throughput, making full use of the idle waiting time, and improving conveying efficiency. In addition, it enhances the system's adaptability and stability and reduces the failure rate.

[0091] In an exemplary embodiment, the buffer device includes a buffer detection sensor and a buffer solenoid valve, which are electrically connected. If a garment hanger to be conveyed exists at the first station corresponding to the buffer device of the garment conveying equipment, the buffer device is controlled to intercept the garment hanger and update its dynamic parameters, including:

[0092] If the buffer detection sensor detects that there is a garment hanger to be conveyed at the first station corresponding to the buffer device in the garment conveying equipment, it controls the buffer solenoid valve to close to intercept the garment hanger to be conveyed. The speed and swing amplitude in the dynamic parameters of the garment hanger to be conveyed decrease, and the dynamic parameters of the garment hanger to be conveyed are updated.

[0093] The buffer detection sensor and the buffer solenoid valve are connected by a circuit. The buffer detection sensor can be a sensing element used to detect whether the hanger has reached a designated position; its type can be a photoelectric sensor, proximity switch, or infrared sensor, etc. Optionally, the buffer detection sensor is set at the first station of the garment conveying equipment to identify whether there is a hanger to be conveyed at that station and to provide input signals for subsequent control logic. The buffer solenoid valve can be an electrically controlled actuator used to control the action state of mechanical components. Optionally, the buffer solenoid valve is configured to be in a closed state to achieve the function of intercepting the hanger. When a control signal is received, the solenoid valve actuates, driving the corresponding mechanical structure (such as a baffle or clamp) to prevent the hanger from continuing to move forward.

[0094] For example, when the buffer detection sensor detects a hanger to be conveyed at the first station, the system triggers control logic to close the buffer solenoid valve, thereby intercepting the hanger. During this process, the hanger's original motion state changes; its speed decreases due to obstruction, and the swing amplitude caused by inertia also decreases accordingly, thus updating the dynamic parameters of the hanger to be conveyed. The updating of dynamic parameters can be, but is not limited to, performed by a controller or a programmable logic controller.

[0095] In this approach, by setting up a linkage control mechanism between the buffer detection sensor and the buffer solenoid valve, and controlling the solenoid valve to close to intercept the hanger when a hanger to be conveyed is detected at the first station, while updating the dynamic parameters of the hanger, the technical effect of improving the operating efficiency and stability of the garment conveying equipment can be achieved.

[0096] To ensure system stability and transmission efficiency, in an exemplary embodiment, under preset release conditions, controlling the lowering solenoid valve to release the clothes hanger to be transmitted includes:

[0097] If the current hanger to be delivered is detected to be delivered at the push station, and there is no unreleased hanger at the third station corresponding to the full detection sensor of the garment conveying equipment, then the preset release condition is met, and the lowering solenoid valve is controlled to release the hanger to be delivered.

[0098] Among them, the preset release condition can refer to the judgment based on the linkage of the status of the front and rear workstations. Its purpose is to ensure that the action of releasing the solenoid valve is performed under the premise of safety and order.

[0099] A full detection sensor is a sensing device used to detect whether an object exists at a specified location. It typically uses photoelectric, capacitive, or mechanical sensing principles and can output high and low level signals to indicate whether the location is occupied by connecting it to a control system.

[0100] For example, the system collects the signal from the sensor at the push station that the hanger has left and reads the status of the full detection sensor at the third station; when it detects that the current hanger to be conveyed at the push station has been conveyed, and there is no unreleased hanger at the third station corresponding to the full detection sensor of the garment conveying equipment, the system sends an action command to the lower solenoid valve to control the lower solenoid valve to release the hanger to be conveyed.

[0101] In the above method, by controlling the release of the clothes hanger to be conveyed by controlling the solenoid valve under the condition of meeting the preset release conditions, the response capability of multi-station collaborative operation is improved, the control of conveying rhythm is optimized, and the efficiency of resource scheduling is improved.

[0102] To make full use of idle waiting time and maximize the efficiency of transmission, the clothes hangers to be transmitted are transferred from the waiting station to the target station, including the following situations:

[0103] Scenario 1: If the waiting time is less than the preset anti-sway time when the pusher on the drive chain reaches the motor stop switch of the garment conveyor, the motor of the garment conveyor will stop. The motor will be controlled to work and drive the pusher on the drive chain of the garment conveyor to convey the garment hanger from the push station to the target station.

[0104] If the waiting time does not meet the preset anti-shake time, it indicates that the hanger is still swinging, and it is not advisable to push it; otherwise, it is determined that the hanger is stable and the pushing action can be safely performed. If there are no unreleased hangers at the third station corresponding to the full detection sensor of the garment conveyor, it indicates that the full detection sensor has not been triggered.

[0105] For example, when the pusher reaches the motor stop switch, the terminal first obtains the current waiting time of the hanger and compares it with the preset anti-sway time. If the waiting time does not meet the preset anti-sway time, the control system adjusts the motor drive module to quickly stop the drive motor, thereby pausing the forward movement of the pusher and avoiding forced pushing before the hanger is stable, which could cause jamming or misalignment. Subsequently, the system continuously monitors the change in the waiting time. After the preset anti-sway time is met, the motor is restarted, and the pusher on the chain continues to run, pushing the hanger to be conveyed from the waiting station to the target station. This process relies on the restart of the motor and the synchronous positioning control of the pusher to ensure that the pushing action is performed at the optimal time, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the conveying.

[0106] Scenario 2: Multiple push blocks are spaced apart on the drive chain to obtain the transmission time of the hanger to be transmitted from the second workstation to the push station; if the transmission time and the waiting time are greater than the push block interval time in the garment conveying equipment, the motor of the garment conveying equipment will continue to run, driving the push blocks on the drive chain in the garment conveying equipment to transmit the hanger to be transmitted from the push station to the target station.

[0107] The pushers can be arranged at a certain interval on the chain, which determines the time difference between adjacent pushing actions, i.e., the pusher interval. For example, a chain driven by a motor has multiple pushers, each of which can push one clothes hanger in a cyclical lifting and conveying manner. The pusher interval can be 60cm, the speed 30cm / s, and the interval time 2 seconds. For example, when the pusher interval time t2 is greater than the release time (i.e., conveying time) t0 + the swaying and undulating dwell time (i.e., waiting time) t1, the motor will not stop running.

[0108] Under normal circumstances, the card reader is set at the waiting-to-be-pushed workstation. The time it takes for the hanger to roll from the downward solenoid valve to the card reader and be released in place, i.e., the transfer duration t0, the time the hanger shakes and stays at the card reader, i.e., the waiting duration t1, and the time it takes for the push block to be lifted in place t2. Then the transfer time T of a single hanger is T = t0 + t1 + t2. If t2 > t0 + t1, T = t2; if t2 < t0 + t1, T = t0 + t1.

[0109] Exemplarily, first, read the values of the transfer duration and the waiting duration; perform an addition operation on the two to obtain the sum; then compare it with the interval duration of the push block; finally, decide whether the motor continues to run according to the comparison result. If the sum of the transfer duration and the waiting duration is greater than the interval duration of the push block in the clothing transfer device, it means that the current push block still has enough time to reach the designated position and there is no need to stop and wait. Therefore, the control system maintains the motor in a continuous running state, keeps the chain running, and uses the upcoming push block to complete the pushing operation, which can achieve continuous operation of the motor without stopping and maximize the efficiency of lifting and transferring.

[0110] It can be understood that in the normal operating state, the motor runs continuously to maintain the continuity of the transfer process; while under specific conditions, such as when the third workstation is occupied, it is necessary to interrupt the operation according to an external signal to avoid system overload or collision.

[0111] Optionally, before the push block on the driving chain of the clothing transfer device drives the hanger to be transferred from the waiting-to-be-pushed workstation to the target workstation, it further includes: if there is a hanger that has not been released at the third workstation corresponding to the full detection sensor of the clothing transfer device, the motor of the clothing transfer device stops.

[0112] Exemplarily, before performing the push block pushing operation, the control system will first read the status signal of the full detection sensor and judge whether the third workstation is occupied based on this. If the detection result shows that there is a hanger that has not been released at the third workstation, the control system immediately issues an instruction to stop the motor from running and suspend the action of the push block, thereby preventing new hangers from entering the already congested area. This method can effectively avoid abnormal situations such as hanger accumulation and jamming by intervening in advance and cutting off the power source, and improve the stability and safety of the system. In addition, this method combines functions such as cache interception, release condition judgment, waiting duration timing, and push block interval control, further enhancing the intelligent scheduling ability and safety protection level of the clothing transfer system, thereby effectively improving the transfer efficiency and operation reliability.

[0113] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 4The diagram shows a partial composition of a garment conveying device, including a buffer unit, a lowering solenoid valve, a card reader, a stop switch, a pusher, a drive motor, and a full-load sensor. The buffer unit includes a buffer detection sensor and a buffer solenoid valve. The connections between these components can be made using existing methods and / or the methods defined above, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0114] The following provides applications Figure 3 The flowchart of the garment conveying control method for the garment conveying equipment shown is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the system determines whether the hanger to be conveyed is ready. If it is ready, the lowering solenoid valve is opened, indicating that the dynamic parameters meet the preset release conditions. The system then controls the buffer device to release the hanger, which is then conveyed along the conveyor rail from the first station to the second station corresponding to the lowering solenoid valve of the garment conveying equipment. If the preset release conditions are met, the system controls the lowering solenoid valve to release the hanger. If the hanger is detected to have been conveyed to the push station on the conveyor rail, the system times out the waiting time for the hanger to stabilize. If the waiting time meets the preset anti-sway time... Once the anti-shake waiting time for lowering is complete, and there are no unreleased hangers at the third station corresponding to the full detection sensor (i.e., the full detection sensor has not been triggered), the motor is started. The system checks if the lowered hanger is accurately ready. If ready, it checks if the lowered hanger waiting position is set. If so, it checks if a stop switch is detected. If a stop switch is detected, the lowered hanger is set to the lift position, and then the full detection sensor is checked for triggering. If not triggered, the lowered hanger waiting position is cleared to 0, and the process of transferring the hanger to be conveyed from the push station to the target station is executed. If no stop switch is detected, it checks if the motor operation has timed out. If it has, the motor stops; otherwise, the transfer of the hanger continues. If the lowered hanger is not set to the lift position, the motor stops. If the full detection sensor is triggered, the motor stops.

[0115] If the lifting position is not set, wait for the lowering hanger to be lifted. When the lowering hanger is lifted, open the lowering solenoid valve and check if a stop switch is detected. If a stop switch is detected, and the lowering hanger is lifted, check if the full-load sensor is triggered. If not triggered, reset the lowering hanger's lifting position to 0 and proceed with the step of transferring the hanger from the waiting station to the target station. If no stop switch is detected, check if the motor has timed out. If it has, stop the motor; otherwise, continue transferring the hanger. If the lowering hanger is not lifted, stop the motor. If the full-load sensor is triggered, stop the motor.

[0116] Optionally, the solenoid valve can be timed to close, such as... Figure 6The diagram shows the closing timing flowchart for the solenoid valve. The timing is 100ms. It checks whether the solenoid valve is open. If it is open, it checks whether the closing time has been reached. If it has, it closes. If it does not close, it accumulates the opening time until the closing time is reached and then closes the solenoid valve.

[0117] The timing of lowering the clothes hangers is accurate, such as Figure 7 As shown, the timing is 100ms. For example, it checks whether the solenoid valve is closed. If it is closed, it checks whether the waiting for the clothes hanger to be transferred is complete. If it is complete, the clothes hanger is ready to be lowered. Otherwise, it continues to wait until 100ms have elapsed, at which point the clothes hanger is ready to be lowered.

[0118] It should be noted that the specific implementation of the above embodiments can be achieved through the methods defined above, and will not be elaborated here. Specifically, if no clothes hanger is waiting to be conveyed within 10 seconds when the chain pusher is at the motor stop switch, the chain pusher will remain at the motor stop switch. If the motor runs for more than a preset time, for example, 8 seconds without the pusher passing the stop switch, then the motor operation has timed out and the motor stops.

[0119] The above embodiments effectively solve the problem of preventing swaying after the roller hanger slides, and organically combine this with the operating efficiency of the conveyor motor. This reduces costs, significantly shortens idle waiting time, and improves conveying efficiency. Real-time control of hanger release, anti-sway waiting, motor start / stop, and full inspection is precise and efficient. Furthermore, it protects the motor.

[0120] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages of other steps.

[0121] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a garment conveying control system for implementing the garment conveying control method described above. The solution provided by this system is similar to the implementation described in the above method; therefore, the specific limitations in one or more garment conveying control system embodiments provided below can be found in the limitations of the garment conveying control method described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0122] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, a garment conveying control system is provided. The system includes garment conveying equipment and a controller. The controller is used to control the buffer device to intercept the garment hanger to be conveyed and update the dynamic parameters of the garment hanger if there is a hanger to be conveyed at the first station corresponding to the buffer device of the garment conveying equipment. The buffer device is located on the conveying guide rail of the garment conveying equipment.

[0123] If the dynamic parameters meet the preset release conditions, the control buffer device releases the hanger to be conveyed, and the hanger is conveyed along the conveyor rail from the first station to the second station corresponding to the lower solenoid valve of the garment conveying equipment.

[0124] Under the condition that the preset release conditions are met, control the lowering solenoid valve to release the clothes hanger to be conveyed;

[0125] If the clothes hanger to be conveyed is detected to be conveyed to the push station on the conveyor rail, the waiting time for the clothes hanger to shake and sway until it stabilizes is recorded.

[0126] Based on the waiting time, the pusher on the drive chain in the garment conveying equipment is driven to transport the hanger to be conveyed from the waiting station to the target station.

[0127] The aforementioned garment conveying control system, by installing a buffer device on the conveyor rail of the garment conveying equipment, first intercepts the garment to be conveyed during hanger conveying, providing appropriate buffering. Once the preset release conditions are met, the hanger is released. This buffer device can decelerate the hanger and reduce its swaying amplitude. Then, under the preset release conditions, the system controls the release solenoid valve to release the hanger, timing the waiting time for the hanger to stabilize. Based on this waiting time, the system drives the pusher block on the drive chain in the garment conveying equipment to convey the hanger from the push station to the target station. This method eliminates the need to wait for the garment to stabilize and for the previous hanger to be lifted and conveyed before releasing the next piece, making full use of the idle waiting time and improving conveying efficiency.

[0128] In an exemplary embodiment, the controller is further configured to, if the buffer detection sensor detects that there is a hanger to be conveyed at the first station corresponding to the buffer device in the garment conveying equipment, control the buffer solenoid valve to close to intercept the hanger to be conveyed, thereby reducing the speed and swing amplitude in the dynamic parameters of the hanger to be conveyed and updating the dynamic parameters of the hanger to be conveyed.

[0129] In an exemplary embodiment, the controller is further configured to determine that a preset release condition is met if it is detected that the current hanger to be conveyed at the push station is being conveyed, and there is no unreleased hanger at the third station corresponding to the full detection sensor of the garment conveying device, and then control the release solenoid valve to release the hanger to be conveyed.

[0130] In an exemplary embodiment, the controller is further configured to stop the motor of the garment conveyor if the waiting time does not meet the preset anti-sway time when the pusher on the drive chain runs to the motor stop switch of the garment conveyor.

[0131] Once the waiting time meets the preset anti-shake time, the control motor will start working and drive the pusher on the drive chain in the garment conveyor to move the hanger to be conveyed from the push station to the target station.

[0132] In one exemplary embodiment, the controller is also configured to obtain the transmission time of the hanger to be transmitted from the second workstation to the push workstation;

[0133] If the sum of the transmission time and the waiting time is greater than the push block interval in the garment conveying equipment, and the waiting time meets the preset anti-sway time, the motor of the garment conveying equipment will continue to run, driving the push block on the drive chain in the garment conveying equipment to transport the hanger to be conveyed from the push station to the target station.

[0134] In one exemplary embodiment, the controller is further configured to stop the motor of the garment conveyor if there is an unreleased garment hanger at the third station corresponding to the full detection sensor of the garment conveyor.

[0135] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, a garment conveying control system is provided. The system includes garment conveying equipment and a controller. The garment conveying equipment includes an Ethernet module, a RS-232 serial communication module, a hanger detection sensor, a full-load sensor, a motor stop switch, a motor drive module, a lowering solenoid valve, a buffer solenoid valve, and a buffer detection sensor. Wherein:

[0136] If the buffer detection sensor detects that there is a hanger to be conveyed at the first station corresponding to the buffer device in the garment conveying equipment, the controller will control the buffer solenoid valve to close and intercept the hanger to be conveyed, and update the dynamic parameters of the hanger to be conveyed. If the dynamic parameters meet the preset release conditions, the controller will open the buffer solenoid valve to release the hanger to be conveyed. The hanger to be conveyed will be conveyed along the conveyor rail from the first station to the second station corresponding to the lower solenoid valve of the garment conveying equipment. If the preset release conditions are met, the controller will control the lower solenoid valve to release the hanger to be conveyed. If the hanger to be conveyed is detected to be conveyed to the push station of the conveyor rail, the controller will time the waiting time for the hanger to shake and sway until it stabilizes. If the waiting time meets the preset anti-shake time, the controller will detect the stop switch. If the full detection sensor is not triggered, the controller will control the motor drive module to drive the push block on the drive chain in the garment conveying equipment to convey the hanger to be conveyed from the push station to the target station.
