[0023] The technical solutions of this invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0024] Because traditional mannequins are a one-piece structure, and fashion designers often need to design clothes for people with different body types, but traditional mannequins are fixed sizes and cannot adjust core measurements such as bust, waist, and hip circumference, multiple mannequins of different sizes need to be purchased when testing the fit of different body types. This results in high costs and a significant amount of studio space being occupied.
[0025] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a modular clothing design mannequin with adjustable girth, with reference to... Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a support rod 1, multiple models 2 and an installation device 4. The multiple models 2 are located directly above the support rod 1. By setting multiple independent models 2, different parts can be flexibly combined according to design requirements. There is no need to equip a mannequin separately for a single product category or people with special body types, which greatly improves the adaptability of the mannequin.
[0026] A pad 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support rod 1. The mounting device 4 is set on the surface of multiple models 2. The mounting device 4 includes multiple collars 43 that are respectively inserted into the inner surface of multiple models 2. Multiple connecting blocks 42 are fixedly connected to the surface of the collars 43 and the inner surface of the model 2. The connecting blocks 42 can enhance the connection strength between the collars 43 and the model 2, ensuring that the model 2 does not loosen when subjected to force, while maintaining the stability of the design operation. An installation rod 41 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support rod 1. Multiple collars 43 are fitted on the surface of the installation rod 41. The sliding fit between the collars 43 and the installation rod 41 makes the disassembly and assembly of the model 2 more convenient. Designers can quickly replace models 2 of different sizes or parts to adapt to diverse design needs.
[0027] The mounting rod 41 has a threaded connection to a knob 44, which is located directly above the collar 43. Rotating the knob 44 can quickly lock the collar 43, preventing the model 2 from shifting during use. A paper ring 45 is inserted into the inner surface of the collar 43. The surface of the paper ring 45 is marked with information about the model 2. The paper ring 45 can mark key information such as the size and location of the model 2, making it easier for designers to quickly identify the required model 2 and reduce selection time.
[0028] The upper surface of the collar 43 is provided with a slot 46. The paper ring 45 is inserted into the inner surface of the slot 46 of the collar 43. The slot 46 can firmly fix the paper ring 45 and prevent it from falling off when the model 2 is disassembled or moved. The upper surface of the support rod 1 is fixedly connected with a washer 47. The bottom end of the knob 44 is fixedly connected with a rubber ring 48. The washer 47 is located directly below the collar 43, and the rubber ring 48 is located directly above the collar 43. The washer 47 and the rubber ring 48 form a flexible clamp on the collar 43 from the upper and lower sides, which not only enhances the fixing effect, but also buffers the pressure when the knob 44 is locked, avoids wear on the surface of the collar 43 or the mounting rod 41, and extends the service life of the equipment.
[0029] refer to Figure 5-8As shown, the surfaces of multiple models 2 are equipped with fine-tuning devices 5. The fine-tuning devices 5 include airbag sleeves 51 that are fitted onto the surfaces of multiple models 2. The airbag sleeves 51 can change their circumference by inflating, breaking through the limitations of fixed sizes of traditional mannequins. This allows designers to quickly simulate the size differences of different body types and test the fit of clothing at different circumferences without changing the models 2. Multiple partitions 52 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the airbag sleeves 51. The partitions 52 divide the airbag sleeves 51 into independent areas, allowing for individual adjustment of the circumference of specific parts of the models 2 to achieve precise local fine-tuning. Multiple air inlets 53 are fixedly connected to the surface of the airbag sleeves 51. Sealing caps 54 are threadedly connected to the surface of the air inlets 53. The multiple air inlets 53 correspond to the independent areas separated by the partitions 52, allowing for individual control of the inflation amount of a certain area.
[0030] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the side wall of the airbag sleeve 51 is provided with an airbag ball 55. The surface of the airbag ball 55 is fixedly connected with a main strap 56 and a secondary strap 59. The main strap 56 and the secondary strap 59 are sleeved on the surface of the airbag sleeve 51. The airbag ball 55 allows the designer to adjust the circumference in real time during three-dimensional cutting.
[0031] The main strap 56 and the auxiliary strap 59 can tightly fix the airbag ball 55 to the surface of the airbag sleeve 51. The surface of the main strap 56 is fixedly connected with Velcro 57, and the side wall of the auxiliary strap 59 is fixedly connected with adhesive joint 58. The side wall of Velcro 57 and the side wall of adhesive joint 58 are bonded together. The combination of Velcro 57 and adhesive joint 58 makes it easy to install and remove the airbag ball 55. Designers can quickly replace different models of airbag balls 55. At the same time, the airbag ball 55 can be set to simulate pregnant women or people with large bellies.
[0032] refer to Figure 9-10 As shown, the upper surface of the pad 3 is provided with an auxiliary device 6. The auxiliary device 6 includes a fixing ring 61 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pad 3. A rotating frame 62 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the fixing ring 61. The fixing ring 61 can facilitate the adjustment of the position of the rotating frame 62, and can also limit the position of the rotating frame 62. A sleeve 63 is fitted on the surface of the rotating frame 62. A placement plate 64 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sleeve 63. The sleeve 63 can facilitate the rotation of the placement plate 64, and the placement plate 64 can conveniently store some design paper or tablet computer.
[0033] A limiting disk 65 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating frame 62. The limiting disk 65 is located directly below the sleeve 63 and can support the sleeve 63. Two support wheels 66 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating frame 62. The support wheels 66 can support the rotating frame 62 and facilitate the movement of the rotating frame 62.
[0034] Working principle of the invention: The pad 3 provides stable support through the support rod 1. The mounting rod 41 is fixed to the top of the support rod 1. According to the clothing design requirements, the designer quickly selects the corresponding model 2 based on the size and part information marked in the paper ring 45 in the inner slot 46 of the collar 43. The model 2 is then put onto the surface of the mounting rod 41 through the collar 43 on the inner surface. The sliding cooperation between the collar 43 and the mounting rod 41 enables the quick assembly and disassembly of the model 2. Multiple independent models 2 can be flexibly combined into a complete mannequin structure for different body parts, without the need to equip a mannequin separately for a single category or special body type.
[0035] The connecting block 42 between the collar 43 and the model 2 enhances the connection strength and prevents the model 2 from loosening under force. The knob 44 at the top of the rotating mounting rod 41 forms a flexible clamp between the rubber ring 48 at the bottom of the knob 44 and the pad ring 47 above the support rod 1, locking and fixing the collar 43 to prevent the model 2 from shifting during use. At the same time, the flexible contact can buffer the locking pressure, avoid wear on the surface of the collar 43 and the mounting rod 41, and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0036] After the model 2 is assembled, the airbag sleeve 51 is placed on the surface of the model 2. The independent areas formed by the partition 52 can achieve precise adjustment of the local circumference. The designer can inflate the airbag individually through the air inlet 53 corresponding to the independent area. The sealing cap 54 ensures that the airbag is sealed and leak-proof after inflation. After the airbag sleeve 51 is inflated, the circumference of the corresponding part is changed. The size difference of different body types can be simulated without replacing the model 2 to test the fit of the clothing.
[0037] During the three-dimensional cutting process, the designer can adjust the circumference in real time through the airbag ball 55 on the surface of the airbag sleeve 51. The main strap 56 and the auxiliary strap 59 are fixed by the Velcro 57 and the adhesive joint 58, so that the airbag ball 55 is tightly attached to the surface of the airbag sleeve 51. It is easy to install and remove and different models of airbag ball 55 can be replaced. At the same time, the setting of the airbag ball 55 can simulate the special body shape of pregnant women or people with big bellies. The partition design of the partition 52 allows the circumference adjustment to focus on specific parts, achieving local precise micro-adjustment and breaking through the limitations of the traditional fixed size of the mannequin.
[0038] The auxiliary device 6 above the pad 3 provides convenient support for the design process. The fixing ring 61 limits the movement range of the rotating frame 62 and assists in adjusting its position. The rotating frame 62 can move flexibly through the support wheel 66 at the bottom. The sleeve 63 drives the placement plate 64 to rotate, which makes it convenient for designers to store design paper, tablet computer and other tools. The limiting plate 65 supports the sleeve 63 to ensure that the placement plate 64 remains stable when rotating or storing items, and improves the convenience of design operation.
