Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of textile technology, and in particular to folding molds for suit seams and sewing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In garment production, the process of making the seam of a suit requires folding one piece of fabric three times along its edge to form a folded layer, and then folding another piece of fabric two times along its edge to form another folded layer. The folded layers of the two pieces must interlock and overlap, forming the seam after further processing. Traditionally, this was mainly done manually by workers. However, this process demands high skill from the workers, and it's difficult for different workers to achieve consistent quality, resulting in low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a suit folding mold that can achieve interlocking folding of three-layer folded bottom side panels and two-layer folded top side panels.
[0004] One embodiment of this application provides a suit folding mold.
[0005] A suit folding mold includes a first folding plate and a second folding plate. A first curled portion is provided on one side of the first folding plate, and a first side of the first curled portion is connected to the first folding plate. A second side of the first curled portion extends in the same direction as the first folding plate. A first gap exists between the second side of the first curled portion and the first folding plate, and this first gap forms a receiving groove. The second folding plate is located below the first folding plate and has a second gap with the first folding plate to accommodate the main body portion of the bottom side panel. A second curled portion is provided on one side of the second folding plate. One side of the second curled portion curls up and covers the first curled portion before connecting to the bottom wall of the receiving groove. A first folding groove for accommodating the edge portion of the bottom side panel is formed between the portion of the second curled portion located in the receiving groove and the first folding plate. A second folding groove for accommodating the edge portion of the top side panel is formed between the portion of the second curled portion located in the receiving groove and the first folding plate.
[0006] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the first curled portion has a U-shaped structure.
[0007] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the first curled portion is curved.
[0008] In some embodiments, the end face of the first curled portion away from the first folded plate is curved, so that there is a smooth transition between the outer surface and the inner surface of the first curled portion.
[0009] In some embodiments, the inner surface of the second curled portion is curved.
[0010] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the second curled portion is curved.
[0011] In some embodiments, the width of the second curled portion gradually narrows from the end connected to the second folding plate to the end away from the second folding plate.
[0012] In some embodiments, the first folding plate and the second folding plate are arranged in parallel.
[0013] In some embodiments, the discharge end of the first curled portion is flush with the discharge end of the second curled portion.
[0014] In some embodiments, the size of the first folding plate is smaller than the size of the second folding plate.
[0015] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the edges of the first folded plate are arc-shaped.
[0016] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the edges of the second folded plate are arc-shaped.
[0017] One embodiment of this application provides a suit folding mold.
[0018] A sewing machine includes a sewing mechanism and a suit folding mold as described in any of the above embodiments. The suit folding mold is mounted on the sewing mechanism and close to the sewing needle of the sewing mechanism. The sewing needle is located at the output end of the first curled portion and the output end of the second curled portion. The sewing needle is used to sew together the bottom side piece and the top side piece that have been interlocked and folded by the first folding groove and the second folding groove.
[0019] The aforementioned suit folding mold, by setting a first curling part and a second curling part, realizes the folding of the top side piece and the bottom side piece respectively. The first folding groove formed between the portion of the second curling part located in the receiving groove and the first curling part is used to receive the edge portion of the bottom side piece. The second folding groove formed between the portion of the second curling part located in the receiving groove and the first folding plate is used to receive the edge portion of the top side piece. This achieves the bottom side piece covering the top side piece after three folds, forming a cross-interlocking fold. This application can achieve consistent folding quality. The operator only needs to push the bottom side piece along the second folding plate and the top side piece along the first folding plate. The edge portion of the bottom side piece enters the second folding groove to achieve three folds, and the edge portion of the top side piece enters the first folding groove to achieve two folds. In actual production, the requirements for the operator's operating skills are low, and the production quality of different operators is difficult to achieve basically consistent results, thus greatly improving production efficiency.

[0035] One embodiment of this application provides a suit seam folding mold to solve the problem in the conventional technology where, during the fabrication of suit seams, an operator needs to fold one piece of fabric three times along its seam to form a folded layer, and then fold another piece of fabric two times along its seam to form a folded layer. Furthermore, the folded layers of the two pieces of fabric must interlock and overlap before subsequent processing to form the suit seam. In actual production, this requires highly skilled operators, and it is difficult for different operators to achieve consistent production quality, resulting in low production efficiency. The suit seam folding mold will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] This application provides a suit skeletal folding mold 10 according to one embodiment, exemplified by [example provided]. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a suit folding mold 10 according to one embodiment of this application. The suit folding mold 10 of this application can be used for the fabrication of suit ribs. To more clearly illustrate the structure of the suit folding mold 10, the suit folding mold 10 will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0037] For example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a suit folding mold 10 according to an embodiment of this application. The suit folding mold 10 includes a first folding plate 100 and a second folding plate 200. A first curled portion 110 is provided on one side of the first folding plate 100. The first side of the first curled portion 110 is connected to the first folding plate 100. The opposite second side of the first curled portion 110 extends in the same direction as the first folding plate 100. A first gap exists between the second side of the first curled portion 110 and the first folding plate 100, and this first gap forms a receiving groove. The second folding plate 200 is located below the first folding plate 100 and has a second gap 310 between it and the first folding plate 100 to receive the main body portion of the bottom side cut piece 21.
[0038] A second curled portion 210 is provided on one side of the second folded plate 200. After one side of the second curled portion 210 is curled up and covers the first curled portion 110, it is connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove. A first folding groove 320 for receiving the edge portion of the bottom side cut piece 21 is formed between the portion of the second curled portion 210 located in the receiving groove and the first curled portion 110. A second folding groove 330 for receiving the edge portion of the top side cut piece 22 is formed between the portion of the second curled portion 210 located in the receiving groove and the first folded plate 100.
[0039] In some implementations, the spacing of the first interval can be set according to actual needs.
[0040] In some embodiments, the spacing of the second interval 310 can be set according to actual needs.
[0041] In some of these implementations, see Figure 2 As shown, the cross-section of the first curled portion 110 has a U-shaped structure. It should be noted that the aforementioned U-shaped structure refers to a U-shaped cross-section along the direction perpendicular to the length of the first curled portion 110.
[0042] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the first curled portion 110 is curved. The curved design of the outer surface of the first curled portion 110 facilitates the curling of the bottom side piece 21, and the edge of the bottom side piece 21 moves along the outer surface of the first curled portion 110, improving the smoothness of the curling.
[0043] In some embodiments, the end face of the first curled portion 110 away from the first folding plate 100 is curved, so that there is a smooth transition between the outer surface and the inner surface of the first curled portion 110. The above design can improve the smoothness of curling when the edge of the bottom side piece 21 moves along the end face of the first curled portion 110.
[0044] In some embodiments, the inner surface of the second curled portion 210 is curved. This design improves the smoothness of curling when the edge of the bottom side piece 21 moves along the inner surface of the second curled portion 210.
[0045] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the second curled portion 210 is curved. This curved design of the outer surface of the second curled portion 210 prevents the equipment from causing bumps or injuries to operators.
[0046] In some embodiments, the width of the second curled portion 210 gradually narrows from the end connected to the second folded plate 200 to the end away from the second folded plate 200. See also Figure 1 As shown, the second curled portion 210 gradually narrows, so that the second curled portion 210 has a certain gap. This gap makes it easy for the operator to observe the movement of the cut piece and avoid the material getting stuck or not curling and folding according to the preset path.
[0047] In some embodiments, the first folding plate 100 and the second folding plate 200 are arranged in parallel. The parallel arrangement of the first folding plate 100 and the second folding plate 200 facilitates the movement of the bottom side panel 21 to ensure that the edge of the bottom side panel 21 enters the second folding groove 330.
[0048] In some embodiments, the distance between the first folding plate 100 and the second folding plate 200 is 0.5cm to 5cm. Further, the distance between the first folding plate 100 and the second folding plate 200 is 1cm to 3cm. For example, the distance between the first folding plate 100 and the second folding plate 200 can be 0.5cm, 0.8cm, 1cm, 1.5cm, 1.7cm, 2cm, 2.3cm, 2.5cm, 2.8cm, 3cm, 3.4cm, 3.7cm, 4cm, 4.3cm, 4.6cm, 4.9cm, 5cm, or other parameters and ranges between any two of the above parameters.
[0049] In some embodiments, the outlet end of the first curling section 110 is flush with the outlet end of the second curling section 210. The outlet ends of the first curling section 110 and the second curling section 210 refer to the outlet ends of the first folding groove 320 on the first curling section 110 and the second folding groove 330 on the second curling section 210. This arrangement ensures that one end of the folded bottom side panel 21 and top side panel 22 are flush, facilitating sewing. See also Figure 1 From the perspective shown, the inward-facing ends of the first curled section 110 and the second curled section 210 are the material output ends. The material output ends of the first curled section 110 and the second curled section 210 are intended to face the sewing needle 31. When the bottom side cut piece 21 and the top side cut piece 22 are both output from the first curled section 110 and the second curled section 210, they enter the sewing needle 31 of the sewing mechanism for sewing.
[0050] In some embodiments, the size of the first folding plate 100 is smaller than the size of the second folding plate 200. This arrangement saves material on the first folding plate 100, reducing equipment costs, and also allows most of the bottom side cut piece 21 to be exposed, making it easier for operators to inspect.
[0051] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the edges of the first folding plate 100 are arc-shaped. This arc-shaped edge configuration of the first folding plate 100 enhances the product's safety and durability: it eliminates sharp corners, reduces the risk of scratches, and disperses external impact forces, making the structure more resistant to impacts; simultaneously, the arc-shaped edges reduce stress concentration, preventing cracking at the fold due to repeated bending, and optimize the grip, making operation more comfortable and smooth.
[0052] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the edges of the second folding plate 200 are arc-shaped. This arc-shaped edge configuration of the second folding plate 200 enhances the product's safety and durability: it eliminates sharp corners, reduces the risk of scratches, and disperses external impact forces, making the structure more resistant to impacts; simultaneously, the arc-shaped edges reduce stress concentration, preventing cracking at the fold due to repeated bending, and optimize the grip, making operation more comfortable and smooth.
[0053] One embodiment of this application provides a suit skeletal folding mold 10.
[0054] A sewing machine includes a sewing mechanism and a suit folding mold 10 according to any of the above embodiments. The suit folding mold 10 is mounted on the sewing mechanism and close to the sewing needle 31 of the sewing mechanism. The sewing needle 31 is located at the output end of the first curling part 110 and the output end of the second curling part 210. The sewing needle 31 is used to sew the bottom side piece 21 and the top side piece 22 that have been interlocked and folded by the first folding groove 320 and the second folding groove 330.
[0055] When using the above-mentioned suit folding mold 10, the following steps are included:
[0056] See Figure 1 As shown, the operator places the bottom side piece 21 on the upper surface of the second folding plate 200 and gradually pushes the edge of the bottom side piece 21 into the second folding groove 330. The edge of the bottom side piece 21 curls along the first curling part 110 and the second curling part 210. The edge of the bottom side piece 21 finally enters the second folding groove 330 formed between the portion of the second curling part 210 located in the receiving groove and the first folding plate 100, forming a triple fold.
[0057] The top side piece 22 is placed on the upper surface of the first folding plate 100, and the edge of the bottom side piece 21 is gradually pushed into the first folding groove 320 formed between the portion of the second curled portion 210 located in the receiving groove and the first curled portion 110, forming two folds. The bottom side piece 21 and the top side piece 22 achieve cross-interlocking folding.
[0058] As the presser foot on the sewing machine moves the bottom side panel 21 and top side panel 22, they gradually move out of the first folding groove 320 and the second folding groove 330, and are joined together by the sewing of the sewing needle 31. (See attached image) Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of a product prepared by the suit folding mold according to an embodiment of this application, wherein the short dashed line on the lower side is the sewing stitch 30.
[0059] In summary, the aforementioned suit folding mold 10, by providing a first curling part 110 and a second curling part 210, respectively achieves the folding of the top side panel 22 and the bottom side panel 21. The first folding groove 320 formed between the portion of the second curling part 210 located in the receiving groove and the first curling part 110 is used to receive the edge portion of the bottom side panel 21, and the second folding groove 330 formed between the portion of the second curling part 210 located in the receiving groove and the first folding plate 100 is used to receive the edge portion of the top side panel 22, thus achieving a triple-fold bottom side panel. The top side panel 22 is covered by panel 21 to form a cross-interlocking fold. This application can achieve consistent folding quality. The operator only needs to push the bottom side panel 21 along the second folding plate 200 and the top side panel 22 along the first folding plate 100. The edge of the bottom side panel 21 enters the second folding groove 330 to achieve a triple fold, and the edge of the top side panel 22 enters the first folding groove 320 to achieve a double fold. In actual production, the operator's operating skills are less required, and the production quality of different operators is difficult to achieve basic consistency, which greatly improves production efficiency.
[0060] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.
[0061] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0062] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
