[0051] In particular, the bottom of the second rotating plate 45 is provided with an anti-slip pad.

[0052] Furthermore, a third drive motor 48 is installed inside the connecting rod 41 via a connecting rod. A second opening 50 is opened on the surface of the connecting rod 41 corresponding to the first opening 46. The output shaft of the third drive motor 48 extends to the second opening 50 and is fitted with a drive gear 51. A transmission rod 52 is hinged inside the connecting rod 41. A first driven gear 53 that meshes with the drive gear 51 is fitted on the transmission rod 52. A second driven gear 54 that meshes with the first driven gear 53 is provided on the second rotating rod 47. At the same time, a third driven gear 49 that meshes with the second driven gear 54 is provided on the first rotating rod 43.

[0053] The machine tool 1 has protrusions 20 on both sides, which are higher than the table surface of the machine tool 1. The first movable block 13 and the second movable block 19 extend above the protrusions 20. The height of the protrusions 20 is greater than the thickness of the base plate 37. Several support feet 6 are welded to the bottom of the machine tool 1. Several limit plates 7 are threaded on both sides of the machine tool 1. The limit plates 7 are L-shaped.

[0054] Working principle:

[0055] When in use, this device transports the fabric via conveyor belt 2. After the fabric moves above the machine tool 1, the camera 5 mounted on the frame 4 captures images of the fabric on the conveyor belt 2 entering the machine tool 1 and analyzes the surface condition. At the same time, two first drive motors 3 drive different first lead screws 17, which in turn move the first movable block 13. The second movable block 19 is guided by the sliding groove 18 and only serves a supporting function. The two first movable blocks 13 and the two second movable blocks 19 drive the movable plate 8 to reciprocate along the length of the machine tool 1.

[0056] The second drive motor 12 drives the second lead screw 27 for transmission. The second lead screw 27 drives the fixed block 32 to move the movable box 15 left and right. At the same time, the bottom of the movable box 15 rolls on the slide rail 10 through the fixed plate 29 and the rotating wheel 30, which bears the lateral force and reduces friction, further driving the laser cutter 16 to move in position. The drag chain 24 is responsible for moving the laser cable, air pipe, signal line, etc. laterally and flexibly along with the movable box. The movable box 15 and the laser cutter 16 move on the machine tool 1 through the cooperation of the first drive motor 3 and the second drive motor 12.

[0057] During the laser cutting process, the fabric is positioned and tensioned to improve the cutting accuracy. The second electric telescopic machine 36 drives the positioning plate 35 to contact the fabric on the conveyor belt 2 for positioning, which makes it easier to determine the cutting area.

[0058] The first electric telescopic mechanism 23 set on both sides of the base plate 37 below the movable plate 8 drives the pressure block 22 to move down, pressing down the fabric located below the two pressure blocks 22 on the movable plate 8. During the downward movement of the pressure block 22, the movable baffle 33 that lifts the pressure block 22 is deflected. The movable baffle 33 deflects and rotates downward. When the pressure block 22 moves to contact the fabric, the bottom of the movable baffle 33 moves into the interior of the vertical groove 26, and there is a distance between the bottom of the movable baffle 33 and the fabric. The pressure sensor installed at the bottom of the pressure block 22 contacts the fabric. At this time, the tensioning component is controlled to work by the external control unit.

[0059] The third electric telescopic mechanism 38 drives the slider 40 to move, which in turn drives the connecting rod 41 to rise and fall as a whole. The third drive motor 48 drives the active gear to rotate the first driven gear and the second driven gear, which in turn drives the first rotating plate 44 to deflect towards the fabric. The first rotating plate 44 deflects downward, and the second rotating plate 45, which is hinged at its end, follows the first rotating plate 44 to deflect downward. The end of the second rotating plate 45 away from the first rotating plate 44 contacts the fabric surface. As the first rotating plate 44 continues to deflect, the lower surface of the second rotating plate 45 is in complete contact with the fabric. At this time, the first rotating plate 44 continues to rotate, which drives the second rotating plate 45 to pull the fabric backward, thus achieving the tensioning of the fabric. The pressure block 22 and the second rotating plate 45 fix and tension the fabric, making it easier for the laser cutter 16 to cut.

[0060] The fabric has anisotropic elasticity. When the pressure block 22 and the pressing second rotating plate 45 tension the fabric, the fabric stretches towards the outside of the movable plate 8 and the second rotating plate 45. After the laser cutting is completed, the tension is released and the fabric rebounds, which may cause the final cut part size to deviate from the design size.

[0061] After the fabric is fed onto the machine tool 1, the camera 5 establishes a coordinate model and collects all data on the fabric surface. At the same time, the preset shape and pattern to be cut are imported to the control terminal from the outside. A laser generator is set on the top of the frame 4. The laser generator is used to position the shape and pattern and the size of the fabric. The laser cutter 16 performs the cutting operation according to the positioning.

[0062] Before cutting the fabric, the position of the laser cutter 16 is adjusted by the first drive motor 3 and moved to the positioning point. At this time, the first electric telescopic motor 23 set at the bottom drives the pressure block 22 to fix the fabric at the bottom of the movable plate 8. The pressure block 22 is pressed down until the touch sensor detects contact with the fabric. At this time, the position is recorded and pressure control is switched. The first electric telescopic motor 23 is slowly driven to move the pressure block 22 downward, increasing the downward pressure of the pressure block 22 until the value preset by the system is reached (the value is the optimal pressure parameter for cutting the fabric).

[0063] At this point, the fabric is pulled backward by making full contact with the lower surface of the second rotating plate 45, and the condition of the fabric is observed.

[0064] At this time, the top camera 5 collects the status of the fabric. If the fabric between the pressure block 22 and the second rotating plate 45 wrinkles and bulges towards the side closer to the second rotating plate 45, it proves that the fabric is not fully tensioned. At this time, the pressure between the bottom of the pressure block 22 and the fabric is too small to provide enough static pressure to limit the fabric. The fabric is pulled by the second rotating plate 45 and slides to one side of the second rotating plate 45, affecting the cutting operation of the laser cutter 16.

[0065] Furthermore, if the fabric itself has a thickness difference, the sensor at the bottom of the pressure block 22 presses on the fabric, and the sensor readings are different, causing the pressure applied by the pressure block 22 to the fabric to be lower than the preset value, which in turn leads to incomplete tension and fixation, affecting the cutting effect.

[0066] If camera 5 detects that the fabric at the edge of the pressure block 22 is excessively stretched and deformed, it proves that the pressure block 22 is applying too much pressure to the fabric. This will cause the cutting line in the cutting area to deform, affecting the normal cutting operation.

[0067] Therefore, after the pressure block 22 and the second rotating plate 45 are fixed, a second visual positioning is performed through the camera 5 to photograph specific marking points on the fabric again. These marking points can be the pattern features of the fabric itself or pre-printed positioning marks. The cutting points are adjusted by comparing with the first positioning. The control system calculates the deviation between the position of the marking point recognized the second time and the position when it was recognized the first time. Then, the same coordinate transformation is performed on the preset cutting path to generate a brand new cutting path that perfectly matches the current tensioned fabric shape, so as to avoid errors in the cutting process that would lead to a deterioration in the cutting effect.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] Further reference Figures 16-21 The frame 4 is equipped with fans 63 on both sides of the machine tool 1. The fans 63 are positioned facing the conveyor belt 2. The fans 63 are used to blow away the surface cutting waste after cutting. The two ends of the protrusion 20 of the machine tool 1 are threaded with electric push rods. The ends of the electric push rods are connected by a coupling and a pressure roller 62 is installed. The position of the pressure roller 62 is adjustable and is used to press the two ends of the fabric on the machine tool 1 to prevent the fabric from rolling up when blowing air.

[0070] Define the first cropping area as 'a' and the second cropping area as 'b'.

[0071] refer to Figure 19 After the blower removes the cutting waste, if a second cutting is required, the fabric surface already has cutting marks. When further cutting the fabric, the deformation of the already cut area needs to be considered. After the first cutting, there are cuts on the fabric. When the equipment needs to process these fabrics again, such as cutting another pattern inside or trimming, the existing tensioning method between the laser cutter 16 and the second rotating plate 45 will cause the existing cuts to deform due to pulling on these cuts, affecting the dimensional tolerances of the parts processed in the first processing and resulting in scrap. At the same time, the area to be processed in the second processing may experience unpredictable displacement and deformation due to tearing of the surrounding cuts, resulting in inaccurate positioning for the second cutting and further affecting the cutting effect.

[0072] An active cavity 55 is provided on the side of the base plate 37 near the laser cutter 16. A movable block 57 is slidably arranged inside the active cavity 55. A connecting strip 56 is welded on the movable block 57 and is welded to the outer shell of the laser cutter 16 through the connecting strip 56. A fourth electric telescopic mechanism 58 is threadedly fixed on the movable block 57. The end of the fourth electric telescopic mechanism 58 extends to the lower part of the movable block 57 and a movable plate 61 is threadedly installed. A servo motor 59 is welded on one side of the movable plate 61. A tension roller 60 is sleeved on the output shaft of the servo motor 59. Several protrusions are provided on the surface of the tension roller 60.

[0073] When the secondary cutting is performed, the camera 5 set at the top of the frame 4 collects information on the fabric surface, divides the primary cutting area and the secondary cutting area, accurately identifies the precise position, direction and length of all existing cutting marks through the images, and marks them through a laser generator.

[0074] Furthermore, the fabric at the bottom of the movable plate 8 is pressed by the pressure block 22, and the laser cutter 16 is moved by the movement of the movable box 15, which in turn moves the moving block 57 laterally. The laser cutting area is adjusted by the lateral movement of the moving block 57. After the laser cutting area is determined, the moving plate 61 is moved downward by the fourth electric telescopic machine 58, so that the tension roller 60 comes into contact with the fabric. The tension roller 60 is rotated to both sides by the servo motor 59, thereby tensioning the fabric in the area to be cut, so that the laser cutter 16 can cut it.

[0075] refer to Figure 20 This avoids deformation and damage to the first cutting area caused by the second rotating plate 45 pulling the fabric. At the same time, the two tensioning rollers 60 tension the fabric on both sides of the second cutting area to ensure that there are no wrinkles in the fabric in the cutting area.

[0076] Further reference Figure 21 If the pressure block 22 is used to fix the area that has already been cut, since the area that has been cut coincides with the conveyor belt 2, if the pressure block 22 and the second rotating plate 45 come into contact with the area that has been cut during the process of cutting the secondary cutting area, and if one pressure block 22 at the bottom of the movable plate 8 comes into contact with the area that has not been cut, while the other pressure block 22 coincides with the area that has been cut, then the area below the area that has been cut is empty (in contact with the conveyor belt 2), and the pressure block 22 will continue to press down. The pressure block 22, which has lost the support of the fabric, will cause its pressure sensor to fail to reach the preset value, causing the first electric telescopic machine 23 to continue to press down until the mechanical limit is reached.

[0077] At this point, the fabric in the uncut area is excessively squeezed and deformed due to excessive pressure on one side, affecting the shape of the fabric in the uncut area and causing defects in the overall cutting operation. At the same time, if the pressure block 22 located above the primary cutting area is still in contact with part of the fabric on both sides, excessive pressure will also cause the fabric at the edge of the primary cutting area to be excessively squeezed, affecting the overall cutting effect.

[0078] Therefore, if the cutting area is set as a non-contact area, and the projection area of ​​a pressure block 22 is completely on the intact fabric, the pressing procedure is executed normally until the preset pressure value is reached.

[0079] If the projected area of ​​a pressure block 22 overlaps with an existing cut area, the first drive motor 3 is controlled to fine-tune the position of the movable plate 8 on the machine tool 1 so that the pressure block 22 completely avoids the cut and falls into the solid material area.

[0080] Furthermore, if it cannot be completely avoided (e.g., the cut area is too large), the first electric telescopic mechanism 23 above the pressure block 22 controls the pressure block 22 to press down a fixed, safe stroke (this stroke is equal to or slightly less than the average thickness of the fabric), so that it gently contacts the fabric and provides limited friction, while avoiding excessive pressing due to suspension.
