The collar template is placed in the cutout C and supported on the step that exposes the cutout B; A guide cutout A is set on the main template, located in the cutout C; A guide cutout B located at cutout C is provided on the sub-template; A groove C is provided on the sub-template, and the groove C corresponds to the size of groove B.
[0011] A base platform is provided below the template. The base platform is located below the sewing machine head; A movable gripper is mounted on the base platform; The movable gripper has lateral and / or longitudinal movement.
[0012] A template carrier is provided on the base platform; used to place the template or to use the template as a template carrier. The movable gripper is used to hold the end face of the template carrier; A clamping device is provided on the template carrier, and the clamping device also holds the pressure plate; The pressure plate is used to press down the collar dividing template; A cutout D is provided on the pressure plate; Hollow D corresponds to guide hollow A and guide hollow B; There are pressing strips on the top and bottom of the collar dividing template, and the pressing strips correspond to guide cutouts A and B; A magnetic suction strip assembly is provided on the pressure plate.

[0039] Figure 2 The middle partition shows the adjustment slots and movement space reserved for the partition.
[0040] Figure 3 The adjustment card displays the position of the adjustment buckle used for positioning and the size label.
[0041] Figure 4 This demonstrates the overall state after the first, second, and third layers are bonded together.
[0042] Figure 5 The display shows a collar template divided into two parts, one of which has an adjustment slot.
[0043] Figure 6 This displays the complete working state after the secondary template is inserted into the main template slot.
[0044] The present invention includes a template body and a matching adjustable collar dividing template 10.
[0045] The template body adopts a multi-layer composite structure, specifically consisting of three layers: The first layer (bottom layer): is the collar template 1, with a cutout A2 in the upper center for placing and fixing the collar template of the sub-template.
[0046] The second layer (middle layer), as the middle partition 5, has a cutout B7. Its core function is to leave out the guide groove size slot B6 required for size adjustment of the collar dividing template 10, and to provide the necessary space for the movement of the collar dividing template.
[0047] The third layer (upper layer): Based on the collar template 1, a positioning slot is further processed to cooperate with the adjusting buckles on the main template 11 and the secondary template 12, and the collar specifications are marked in the corresponding positions to guide the size setting.
[0048] The main template 11 and the secondary template 12 are separable collar forming templates. They also adopt a layered structure, dividing the complete collar template into two independent templates, left and right, with the center line of its smallest size as the boundary. One half of the template is equipped with adjustment buckles or protrusions.
[0049] During assembly and use, place the main template 11 and the secondary template 12 into the slots provided in the second layer of the template body. By sliding the secondary template 12, the adjustment buckles on it are aligned and fixed with the slots at different positions on the third layer of the template body, allowing for quick and accurate setting of the desired collar size.
[0050] In practical implementation: First, the first layer of the main template ( Figure 1 ), second layer ( Figure 2 ), third layer ( Figure 3 Align them in sequence and glue them firmly together to form a shape like Figure 4The main template shown is complete. After bonding, the adjustment grooves of the second layer and the snap-fit positions of the third layer should correspond and connect.
[0051] Next, the prepared sub-template ( Figure 5 The two collar templates, after being divided, are inserted into the guide slots on both sides of the second layer of the main template. The operator slides the two secondary templates simultaneously according to the collar size required for production, aligning and locking the adjusting buckles on the secondary templates with the corresponding size slots marked on the third layer of the main template, thus completing the size setting.
[0052] Then, the pre-cut collar fabric sample (usually two pieces, the outer and inner), corresponding to the set size, is placed into the secondary template cavity that has been adjusted to the correct size.
[0053] Finally, assemble the entire garment and place it into the garment piece assembly template (such as...). Figure 6 Place the garment piece on the worktable of the intelligent template sewing machine (in its current state), start the machine, and it will automatically complete processes such as quilting or hemming the collar. When a size change is needed, simply loosen the buckle, adjust the secondary template to the new size position and re-secure it, then replace the corresponding garment piece; there is no need to replace the entire template set.
