[0040] 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.

[0041] exist Figure 1-6 In the illustrated embodiment, the present invention provides a technical solution: a bag opening strap-threading device, wherein the fabric being processed has V-shaped notches cut on the side in the previous process, and the notches are sealed, including a frame 1, a fabric feeding platform 11 provided at the upper end of the frame 1, and fabric with V-shaped notches cut at equal intervals on the side passes through from above, and a tension rod 12, a fabric feeding drive roller group 13 and a fabric feeding rod 14 are provided at the fabric entry end of the fabric feeding platform 11.

[0042] The tape feeding mechanism is located below the fabric conveying platform 11. The tape feeding mechanism includes a coil 31 that is driven to rotate by a motor. A guide wheel group 32 is provided between the coil 31 and the guide tube 33. The guide wheel group 32 is provided with three rotatable guide wheels. The tape is wound around the guide wheel group 32 to guide the tape into the guide tube 33.

[0043] Pull cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the fabric feeding platform 11 and is used to fold the side edge of the fabric downward. The lower end of pull cylinder 3 is provided with a guide tube 33 located below the side of the fabric feeding platform 11, which is used to pass through the wire belt led out by the feeding mechanism. The tail end of the guide tube 33 will pass through the fabric feeding platform 11, and the wire belt can enter the upper part of the fabric feeding platform 11.

[0044] Pressing belt 4: Set on the fabric conveying platform 11 and positioned on one side of the pull cylinder 3, it is used to press and convey the fabric. There are two sets of pressing belts 4 arranged in parallel and driven to rotate by motor 41. The pressing belt 4 does not affect the sewing of the flatbed sewing machine 22.

[0045] Sewing device 2: Set on one side of fabric feed platform 11, sewing device 2 includes: first bracket 23, sewing platform 21 and flatbed sewing machine 22. Sewing platform 21 is placed at the rear position of pull tube 3, and the thread tape led out from the guide tube 33 enters above sewing platform 21 and enters the folded edge of fabric. The folded edge is sealed by flatbed sewing machine 22, and the thread tape is sealed inside the folded edge.

[0046] Furthermore, the sewing platform 21 is fixed above the first bracket 23 by multiple sets of columns. The flatbed sewing machine 22 is placed on the sewing platform 21. A movable mounting bracket 25 is provided at the upper end of the first bracket 23. A lock cylinder 6 is placed at the upper limit of the mounting bracket 25. The mounting bracket 25 is moved back to a position below the lock cylinder of the flatbed sewing machine 22 by the first cylinder 24. At the end point of the displacement of the mounting bracket 25, there is a pneumatic gripper 27 for replacing the lock cylinder of the flatbed sewing machine 22. The pneumatic gripper 27 is raised and lowered by the third cylinder 29 and moved laterally to the position of the lock cylinder of the flatbed sewing machine 22 by the second cylinder 28. A track 26 is provided on the first bracket 23, and the mounting bracket 25 is slidably mounted on the track 26.

[0047] Cutting mechanism 5: Located at the rear station of sewing device 2, it is used to lift up and cut the thread in the V-shaped notch of the fabric. The side end of the fabric platform 11 is provided with a cutting opening 111 corresponding to the cutting position of the cutting mechanism 5.

[0048] The cutting mechanism 5 includes: a pneumatic scissors 51 that can be raised and lowered above the cutting opening 111; a liftable pressing plate 53 for pressing the fabric around the cutting opening 111; and a thread take-up mechanism 58 that can be raised and lowered below the cutting opening 111. The bottom surface of the pressing plate 53 has a groove for the thread inside the fabric fold to move freely, which can only press down the fabric and does not affect the movement of the thread inside the fabric fold.

[0049] The pneumatic scissors 51 are driven to rise and fall by a cylinder, and the fabric pressing plate 53 is driven to rise and fall by a fourth cylinder 52. A second bracket 55 is fixed to the bottom of the fabric conveying platform 11 below the cutting opening 111. A fifth cylinder 56 is fixed on the second bracket 55. A lifting frame 57 is provided at the output end of the fifth cylinder 56, and it drives the lifting frame 57 to rise and fall. The thread taking mechanism 58 is fixedly installed on the lifting frame 57. The thread taking mechanism 58 includes two thread taking rods 582 that can be opened outward synchronously by a gripper cylinder 581. They are used to lift up the thread and open it to form a cutting part. After lifting up the thread in the fabric gap, it is cut by the pneumatic scissors 51.

[0050] It should be noted that a position sensor 54 is provided above the fabric feeding platform 11. The position sensor 54 is located at the front end of the cutting position of the cutting mechanism 5 to monitor the notch position on the side of the fabric, so that the fabric notch can be placed inside the cutting opening 111, which facilitates thread picking.

[0051] The specific working principle of the present invention will be explained in detail below: In use, the fabric passes over the fabric guide bar 14, goes around the tension bar 12 and enters the fabric guide drive roller group 13. The fabric is conveyed on the fabric guide platform 11 and is pressed and conveyed backward by the rotating pressure belt 4 on the side.

[0052] The thread wrapped around the pull tube 3 enters the guide tube 33 after passing through the guide wheel assembly 32. The pull tube 3 bends the side of the fabric with a V-shaped notch downwards. After the thread comes out of the guide tube 33, it enters from the bend of the fabric and is sewn into the folded edge of the fabric by the flat sewing machine 22.

[0053] When the fabric gap is detected by the position sensor 54, the gap stops at the cutting opening 111. The fourth cylinder 52 drives the pressure plate 53 to press the fabric tightly, and the fifth cylinder 56 drives the lifting frame 57 to move upward. At this time, the two take-up rods 582 are in a combined state. Through the fifth cylinder 56, the take-up rods 582 rise and pick up the thread of the fabric gap. Through the gripper cylinder 581, the take-up rods 582 are opened. The picked-up thread is straight. The cylinder drives the pneumatic scissors 51 to descend and cut the thread. The cutting mechanism 5 resets, and the fabric continues to be fed to the next process for cutting.

[0054] In another embodiment, every two fabric gaps are sensed by position sensor 54, and the pick-up strap of cutting mechanism 5 will skip one gap, suitable for gift bags with one side folded.

[0055] When the flatbed sewing machine 22 needs to replace the lock cylinder 6, the mounting frame 25 moves to the bottom of the lock cylinder via the first cylinder 24, the second cylinder 28 drives the pneumatic gripper 27 to move laterally, and the third cylinder 29 drives the pneumatic gripper 27 to rise and fall. The pneumatic gripper 27 clamps and removes the original lock cylinder 6 and places it on the mounting frame 25. The first cylinder 24 drives the lock cylinder 6 to be sent out. After manual replacement, the new lock cylinder 6 is moved to the mounting position, clamped by the pneumatic gripper 27, and installed.

[0056] 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.
