Garment hanging outbound device and control method thereof

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of garment production line technology, and in particular to a garment hanging and exiting device and its control method. The garment hanging and exiting device includes a transport module, a stop module, a drive module, and a control module. The transport module includes a transport frame and a main pole. A movable component capable of moving along the extension direction of the transport frame is mounted on the transport frame. The stop module prevents the movable component from moving towards the main pole. The drive module intermittently abuts against the transport module and pushes the transport module towards the main pole. The control module and drive module drive the stop module and drive module according to the position of the movable component. Its advantage is that, through the cooperation of the stop module and drive module, the movable component carrying the hangers can ensure that the time interval and position of the hangers falling onto the main pole are consistent according to a preset fixed time, thus completing the exiting action. This avoids transporting multiple hangers to the same position on the main pole, which would affect the operation of the production line.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of garment production line technology, and in particular to a garment hanging and exiting device and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the garment industry, more and more companies have adopted assembly line production methods, and garment hanging and exiting devices can improve the transportation efficiency of finished garments, and their application is becoming more and more widespread.

[0003] Existing garment hanging and exiting devices typically include a lifting module, a stop module, and an exiting module. The lifting module power-lifts the hanger to the stop module, where it waits. When the stop module releases it, the hanger, along with the weight of the clothes hanging on it, slides freely down the exiting module onto the main pole. However, because the weight of the clothes hanging below the hanger varies, hangers of different weights fall onto the main pole at different times and positions. This can lead to uneven distribution of hangers on the main pole, with some areas densely packed and others sparsely packed, severely affecting the normal operation of the production line. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides a garment hanging exit device.

[0005] A garment hanging and exiting device includes: a transport module comprising a transport frame and a main pole, the transport frame extending toward the main pole, a movable component mounted on the transport frame capable of moving along the extension direction of the transport frame, and the movable component being used to connect with a garment hanger; a stop module connected to the transport frame and capable of stopping the movable component from moving toward the main pole; a drive module connected to the transport frame and capable of intermittently abutting against the movable component and pushing the movable component toward the main pole; and a control module electrically connected to the drive module and the stop module and capable of driving the stop module and the drive module to operate according to the position of the movable component.

[0006] In this configuration, the moving component connects to the hanger. The garment hangs on the hanger and moves along the transport rack with the moving component. The transport rack extends towards the main pole, so the moving component, carrying the hanger, eventually moves to the main pole. The main pole remains operational, and the hanger follows the main pole to the next stage of the production line. A stop module prevents the moving component from moving, while a drive module, through its contact with the moving component, pushes it towards the main pole. A control module controls the intermittent operation of the stop module and drive module, sequentially transporting the moving components to the main pole at preset times, ensuring that the time and position of each moving component landing on the main pole are consistent.

[0007] In one embodiment, the drive module includes a mounting base, a first drive unit, a transmission unit, and an abutment unit. The mounting base is fixedly connected to the transport frame. The first drive unit is mounted on the mounting base and connected to the transmission unit. The transmission unit is connected to the abutment unit. The first drive unit can drive the abutment unit to abut against the moving component through the transmission unit.

[0008] In one embodiment, the transmission unit includes a first link, one end of which is connected to the first drive unit, and the other end of which is connected to the abutment unit and is capable of driving the abutment unit to rotate, the abutment unit being capable of abutting against the moving component.

[0012] In one embodiment, the transmission structure includes a first driving wheel, a first transmission member, a first driven wheel, a second rotating shaft, a second driving wheel, a second transmission member, and a second driven wheel. The first driving wheel is coaxially connected to the driven gear, and the first driving wheel is connected to the first driven wheel through the first transmission member. The first driven wheel is connected to the second driving wheel through the second rotating shaft and rotates coaxially. The second driving wheel drives the second driven wheel to rotate through the second transmission member. The second driven wheel is connected to the transmission unit.

[0013] In one embodiment, the stop module includes a second drive unit, a first stop unit, and a second stop unit. The second drive unit is connected to the first stop unit, and the first stop unit is connected to the second stop unit. The second drive unit is capable of driving one of the first stop unit and the second stop unit to extend into the movement path of the moving component, while the other moves away from the movement path of the moving component.

[0014] In one embodiment, the first stop unit includes a first fixed seat and a first claw, the first fixed seat being connected to the transport frame, and the first claw being rotatably connected to the first fixed seat.

[0015] The second stop unit includes a second fixed seat and a second clamping claw. The second fixed seat is connected to the transport frame, and the second clamping claw is rotatably connected to the second fixed seat.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second drive unit further includes a second drive member, a connecting pin, a third rotating shaft, and a third connecting rod. The connecting pin is connected to the second drive member and can extend or retract along its axial direction following the second drive member. The third rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the connecting pin and is rotatably connected to the first pawl, and can drive the first pawl to rotate relative to the first fixed seat. One end of the third connecting rod is connected to the third rotating shaft, and the other end is connected to the second pawl, and drives the second pawl to rotate relative to the second fixed seat.

[0017] In one embodiment, the first claw includes a first connecting section and a first engaging section. One end of the first connecting section is connected to the third rotating shaft, and the other end is connected to the first engaging section. The moving component is configured as a roller. The side of the first engaging section that abuts against the moving component has a first arcuate groove adapted to the outer periphery of the moving component; and / or,

[0018] The second claw includes a second connecting section and a second locking section. One end of the second connecting section is rotatably connected to the third connecting rod, and the other end is connected to the second locking section. The moving component is configured as a roller. The side of the second locking section that abuts against the moving component has a second arc groove that is adapted to the outer periphery of the moving component.

[0019] In one embodiment, the transport frame has a first position and a second position, the first stop unit is capable of stopping the moving component at the first position, the second stop unit is capable of stopping the moving component at the second position, and the stop module further includes a first sensor and a second sensor, the first sensor being installed at the first position and the second sensor being installed at the second position.

[0020] The present invention also provides a control method for a garment hanging and exiting device, comprising a transport frame, a stop module, and a drive module. The transport frame is provided with a moving component that moves along the length of the transport frame, and the transport frame has a first position and a second position spaced apart. The stop module includes a first stop unit and a second stop unit, the first stop unit being installed at the first position and the second stop unit being installed at the second position. The control method for the garment hanging and exiting device includes:

[0021] S1: Detect whether the moving component is present at the second position. When the moving component is detected at the second position, the second stop unit leaves the moving path of the moving component.

[0022] S2: Detect whether the moving component is present at the first position. When the moving component is detected at the first position, the first stop unit leaves the moving path of the moving component.

[0023] S3: Drive the module to work and push the moving component to move.

[0024] In one embodiment, the drive module includes a first drive unit and a swing arm. The first drive unit rotates and drives the swing arm to abut against the moving component, and pushes the moving component to move. The first drive unit has at least one acceleration period and at least one deceleration period. The first drive unit decelerates when the swing arm is about to contact the moving component and when the swing arm is about to disengage from the moving component, and accelerates when the swing arm just contacts the moving component and when it does not contact the moving component.

[0025] Compared to existing technologies, this invention, through the cooperation of a stop module and a drive module, enables the moving component carrying the hangers to ensure that the time interval and position of the hangers falling onto the main pole are consistent according to a preset fixed time, and to complete the exit action. This avoids transporting multiple hangers to the same position on the main pole, which would affect the operation of the production line. Attached Figure Description

[0048] The present invention provides a garment hanging exit device 100. Through the cooperation of the stop module 20 and the drive module 30, the moving component 13 carrying the hanger 133 can ensure that the time interval and position of the hanger 133 falling onto the main rod 12 are consistent according to the preset fixed time, and complete the exit action. This avoids transporting multiple hangers 133 at the same position on the main rod 12, which would affect the operation of the production line.

[0049] Please see Figures 1-2 The garment hanging and exiting device 100 includes a transport module 10, a stop module 20, a drive module 30, and a control module (not shown in the figure). The transport module 10 includes a transport frame 11 and a main rod 12. The transport frame 11 extends toward the main rod 12. A moving component 13 is provided on the transport frame 11 and can move along the extension direction of the transport frame 11. The moving component 13 is used to connect with a garment hanger 133. The stop module 20 is connected to the transport frame 11 and can stop the moving component 13 from moving toward the main rod 12. The drive module 30 is connected to the transport frame 11 and can intermittently abut against the transport module 10 and push the transport module 10 toward the main rod 12. The control module is electrically connected to the drive module 30 and the stop module 20 and can drive the stop module 20 and the drive module 30 to work according to the position of the moving component 13.

[0050] Thus, the moving component 13 is connected to the hanger 133. The garment is hung on the hanger 133 and moves along the transport frame 11 with the moving component 13. The transport frame 11 extends towards the main pole 12, so the moving component 13, carrying the hanger 133, eventually moves to the main pole 12. The main pole 12 remains in operation, and the hanger 133 moves with the main pole 12 to the next process in the production line. The stop module 20 can stop the movement of the moving component 13, while the drive module 30 can push the moving component 13 towards the main pole 12 by abutting against it. The control module can control the intermittent operation of the stop module 20 and the drive module 30, transporting the moving components 13 one by one to the main pole 12 according to a preset time, so that the time and position of the moving components 13 landing on the main pole 12 are consistent.

[0051] Please see Figures 4-6 It should be explained that the stop module 20 can detect the position of the moving component 13 on the transport frame 11, and the operation of the drive module 30 can push at least one moving component 13 toward the main rod 12. Therefore, the control module can determine the operation of one of the stop module 20 and the drive module 30 or both of them based on the position of the moving component 13, so that the moving components 13 move one by one onto the main rod 12.

[0052] The garment hanging and exiting device 100 also includes a lifting box 101, which can lift the moving component 13 carrying the hanger 133 and the garment onto the transport rack 11 and move it along the length of the transport rack 11.

[0053] In this embodiment, the moving component 13 includes a roller 131, a connecting rod 132, and a hanger 133. The roller 131 can roll on the transport frame 11 and is easily pushed by the drive module 30. One end of the connecting rod 132 is connected to the roller 131, and the other end is connected to the hanger 133, and drives the hanger 133 to move with the roller 131.

[0054] Specifically, please see Figure 3The drive module 30 includes a mounting base 31, a first drive unit 32, a transmission unit 33, and an abutment unit 34. The mounting base 31 is fixedly connected to the transport frame 11. The first drive unit 32 is mounted on the mounting base 31 and connected to the transmission unit 33. The transmission unit 33 is connected to the abutment unit 34. The first drive unit 32 can drive the abutment unit 34 to abut against the moving component 13 through the transmission unit 33. Thus, the mounting base 31 is used to connect and fix the first drive unit 32, the transmission unit 33, and the abutment unit 34, fixing their positions relative to the transport frame 11. The first drive unit 32 transmits power through the transmission unit 33, and the transmission unit 33 pushes the moving component 13 through the abutment unit 34.

[0055] In other embodiments, at least one of the first drive unit 32, transmission unit 33 and abutment unit 34 may be directly connected to the transport frame 11, and does not necessarily need to be mounted on the mounting base 31.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting base 31 has a cavity 311 inside, and at least a portion of the first driving unit 32 is disposed in the cavity 311 and protected by the cavity 311.

[0057] Furthermore, the transmission unit 33 includes a first connecting rod 331. One end of the first connecting rod 331 is connected to the first driving unit 32, and the other end of the first connecting rod 331 is connected to the abutment unit 34, and can drive the abutment unit 34 to rotate. The abutment unit 34 can abut against the moving component 13. In this way, the first connecting rod 331 has a simple structure. The first driving unit 32 drives the first connecting rod 331 to rotate. At the same time, the rotation of the first connecting rod 331 drives the abutment unit 34 to rotate synchronously and abut against the moving component 13, thereby pushing the moving component 13 to move towards the main rod 12.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first drive unit 32 is configured as a mechanism capable of driving the first link 331 to rotate. In other embodiments, the first drive unit 32 may also be configured as a linear motion mechanism, thereby causing the first link 331 to push the moving component 13 to move.

[0059] The first connecting rod 331 has a first slot 3311, which enables the first connecting rod 331 to be lightweight and also improves its structural strength. One end of the first connecting rod 331 is fixedly connected to the first driving unit 32, and the other end is rotatably connected to the abutment unit 34. Therefore, when the first connecting rod 331 rotates with the first driving unit 32, it rotates relative to the abutment unit 34 at the same time, thereby driving the abutment unit 34 to rotate.

[0060] The abutment unit 34 includes a swing arm 341, a second connecting rod 342, a slide rail 343, a slider 344, a first rotating shaft 345, and a bearing seat 346. The first connecting rod 341 and the second connecting rod 342 are rotatably connected. The second connecting rod 342 is connected to the swing arm 341 for abutting against the moving component 13. The slide rail 343 is provided on the second connecting rod 342 and extends along the length of the second connecting rod 342. The slider 344 is slidably connected to the slide rail 343 and is connected to the first rotating shaft 345. The first rotating shaft 345 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 346, and the bearing seat 346 is fixed on the mounting base 31. Thus, the swing arm 341 is used to abut against the moving component 13. The swing arm 341 is machined separately to make it easier to adapt to the moving component 13. The second connecting rod 342 is provided with a slide rail 343, and the slider 344 can move on the slide rail 343. Therefore, the slider 344 can move along the length direction of the second connecting rod 342. The slider 344 is connected to the bearing seat 346 through the first rotating shaft 345. The bearing seat 346 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 31. Therefore, in the abutment unit 34 of this embodiment, the position of the bearing seat 346 is fixed, and the slider 344 and the first rotating shaft 345 are also fixedly connected to the bearing seat 346. Therefore, the positions of the slider 344 and the first rotating shaft 345 are also fixed. The slider 344 acts in the opposite direction to the slide rail 343 and plays a guiding role on the slide rail 343, that is, it plays a guiding role on the second connecting rod 342. Therefore, the rotation of the swing arm 341 can also be guided and limited by the second connecting rod 342, so its abutment with the moving component 13 is more stable.

[0061] The swing arm 341 includes a first abutting section 3411 and abutting section 3412, which are angled together. Thus, during the forward movement of the moving component 13, the rotational speed control of the first drive unit 32 ensures that the second abutting section 3412 contacts the moving component 13. This means the moving component 13 remains between the first abutting section 3411 and the second abutting section 3412 during movement. Therefore, the first abutting section 3411 prevents the moving component 13 from lurching forward under force, providing a blocking effect.

[0062] In this embodiment, both the first abutting segment 3411 and the second abutting segment 3412 are configured as straight plate structures. In other embodiments, the first abutting segment 3411 and the second abutting segment 3412 may also be configured as arc shapes.

[0063] In one embodiment, the first drive unit 32 is configured as a motor, and the speed of the motor can be controlled by the control module to realize the action of pushing the moving components 13 one by one.

[0064] Please see Figures 7-8In another embodiment, the first drive unit 32 includes a first drive member 321, a driven gear 322, and a transmission structure 323. The first drive member 321 can drive the driven gear 322 to move, and after the driven gear 322 moves, it connects with the external main rack 102 and rotates as the external main rack 102 moves. The transmission structure 323 is connected to the driven gear 322 and drives the transmission unit 33 to rotate. Thus, since the external main rack 102 is always in operation, a push rod (not shown in the figure) is provided on the external main rack 102 to push the movement of the moving component 13 (clothes hanger 133) on the main rod 12. Therefore, when the first driving member 321 pushes the driven gear 322 to move and makes the driven gear 322 contact the external main rack 102, the driven gear 322 can rotate in response to the movement of the external main rack 102. The rotation of the driven gear 322 is then transmitted to the transmission unit 33 through the transmission structure 323, thereby driving the transmission unit 33 to rotate.

[0065] Specifically, the transmission structure 323 includes a first driving wheel 3231, a first transmission component 3232, a first driven wheel 3233, a second rotating shaft 3234, a second driving wheel 3235, a second transmission component 3236, and a second driven wheel 3237. The first driving wheel 3231 is connected to the first driven wheel 3233 through the first transmission component 3232. The first driven wheel 3233 is connected to the second driving wheel 3235 through the second rotating shaft 3234 and rotates coaxially. The second driving wheel 3235 drives the second driven wheel 3237 to rotate through the second transmission component 3236. The second driven wheel 3237 is connected to the transmission unit 33. Thus, the first driving wheel 3231 and the driven gear 322 rotate coaxially. After the driven gear 322 rotates in response to the movement of the external main rack 102, it first drives the first driving wheel 3231. The first driving wheel 3231 drives the first driven wheel 3233 to rotate through the first transmission member 3232. The first driven wheel 3233 is connected to the second driving wheel 3235 through the second rotating shaft 3234, and the two achieve coaxial and same speed rotation. The second driving wheel 3235 drives the second driven wheel 3237 through the second transmission member 3236. Finally, the second driven wheel 3237 drives the transmission unit 33.

[0066] In this embodiment, the transmission component is a belt; in other embodiments, the transmission component may also be a chain or other structure.

[0067] Please see Figure 8The transmission structure 323 also includes a base plate 3238, a driven gear 322 rotatably connected to the base plate 3238, a first driven wheel 3233 mounted on one side of the base plate 3238 where the driven gear 322 is provided, a second driving wheel 3235 mounted on the other side of the base plate 3238, and a second rotating shaft 3234 passing through the base plate 3238 and rotating relative to the base plate 3238, thereby realizing the connection between the first driven wheel 3233 and the second driving wheel 3235.

[0068] Please see Figures 9-12 The stop module 20 includes a second drive unit 21, a first stop unit 22, and a second stop unit 23. The second drive unit 21 is connected to the first stop unit 22, and the first stop unit 22 is connected to the second stop unit 23. The second drive unit 21 can drive one of the first stop unit 22 and the second stop unit 23 to extend into the movement path of the moving component 13, and the other to leave the movement path of the moving component 13.

[0069] Thus, when the first stop unit 22 extends into the moving path of the moving component 13 within the transport frame 11, it can stop the moving component 13. Similarly, the second stop unit 23 can also extend into the transport frame 11 to stop the moving component 13. Since the first stop unit 22 and the second stop unit 23 are installed in different positions, they can stop the moving component 13 at different positions. Therefore, when multiple moving components 13 enter the transport frame 11, at least one moving component 13 will be stopped at the position corresponding to the first stop unit 22. At least one other moving component 13 is stopped at the position corresponding to the second stop unit 23. After one of the first stop unit 22 and the second stop unit 23 leaves the moving path of the moving component 13 in the transport frame 11, the moving component 13 it stops will be pushed forward by the drive module 30, while the moving component 13 stopped by the other will continue to move forward. When the latter moving component 13 is released and moves forward, the former has also re-entered the moving path in the transport frame 11 to stop. Therefore, the stop module 20 configured in this way can realize the sequential exit of the moving components 13.

[0070] Furthermore, the first stop unit 22 includes a first fixed base 221 and a first claw 222. The first fixed base 221 is connected to the transport frame 11, and the first claw 222 is rotatably connected to the first fixed base 221. The second stop unit 23 includes a second fixed base 231 and a second claw 232. The second fixed base 231 is connected to the transport frame 11, and the second claw 232 is rotatably connected to the second fixed base 231. Thus, the first fixed base 221 facilitates the assembly of the first claw 222, and the second fixed base 231 facilitates the assembly of the second claw 232. The first claw 222 and the second claw 232 do not need to be directly assembled onto the transport frame 11, simplifying the assembly process and making disassembly and assembly more convenient. This also avoids wear on the transport frame 11. After prolonged use, when the first fixed base 221 and the second fixed base 231 show wear, only the first fixed base 221 and the second fixed base 231 need to be replaced, without replacing the transport frame 11.

[0071] The second drive unit 21 further includes a second drive member 211, a connecting pin 212, a third rotating shaft 213, and a third connecting rod 214. The connecting pin 212 is connected to the second drive member 211 and can extend or retract along its axial direction following the second drive member 211. The third rotating shaft 213 is rotatably connected to the connecting pin 212 and is rotatably connected to the first pawl 222, and can drive the first pawl 222 to rotate relative to the first fixed seat 221. One end of the third connecting rod 214 is connected to the third rotating shaft 213, and the other end is connected to the second pawl 232, driving the second pawl 232 to rotate relative to the second fixed seat 231. Thus, the operation process of the second drive unit 21 is as follows: the second drive member 211 extends, causing the connecting pin 212 to extend coaxially, while the third rotating shaft 213, because it is connected to the connecting pin 212, also moves synchronously with the connecting pin 212 in a direction away from the second drive member 211. The third rotating shaft 213 is rotatably connected to the first gripper 222. Since the relative position of the first gripper 222 cannot be horizontally translated, as the position of the third rotating shaft 213 moves, the end of the first gripper 222 connected to the third rotating shaft 213 rotates, and the other end of the first gripper 222 rotates in the opposite direction, thus extending into the moving path of the moving component 13 in the transport frame 11, thereby connecting the moving component 13. The third rotating shaft 213 also drives the second gripper 232 to move synchronously through the third connecting rod 214. The difference is that the structure of the second gripper 232 located in the transport frame 11 is designed to release the restriction on the moving component 13 as the end connected to the third rotating shaft 213 rotates. Therefore, when the second drive member 211 extends, the second claw 232 leaves the movement path of the moving component 13, and the first claw 222 extends into the movement path of the moving component 13. Thus, the second claw 232 releases the moving component 13, and the moving component 13 rolls toward the first claw 222, while the first claw 222 limits the movement of the moving component 13. Conversely, when the second drive member 211 retracts, the second claw 232 can limit the movement of the moving component 13, while the first claw 222 releases its limitation on the moving component 13.

[0072] In this embodiment, the second driving member 211 is configured as a cylinder structure, which has a telescopic rod capable of extending or retracting, and the telescopic rod drives the connecting pin 212 to move. In other embodiments, the second driving member 211 can also be configured as a motor or other structures, as long as it can realize the movement of the connecting pin 212 and the third rotating shaft 213.

[0073] In other embodiments, the second drive unit 21 may also be provided with two second drive members 211. The two second drive members 211 drive the rotation of the first claw 222 and the second claw 232 respectively through the electronic control system of the control module, so as to realize the sequential departure of the moving components 13.

[0074] The first claw 222 includes a first connecting section 2221 and a first locking section 2222. One end of the first connecting section 2221 is connected to the third rotating shaft 213, and the other end is connected to the first locking section 2222. The moving component 13 is configured as a roller 131. The side of the first locking section 2222 that abuts against the moving component 13 has a first arcuate groove 2224 that matches the outer periphery of the moving component 13; and / or,

[0075] The second claw 232 includes a second connecting section 2321 and a second locking section 2322. One end of the second connecting section 2321 is rotatably connected to the third connecting rod 214, and the other end is connected to the second locking section 2322. The moving component 13 is configured as a roller 131. The side of the second locking section 2322 that abuts against the moving component 13 has a second arc groove 2323 that fits the outer periphery of the moving component 13. Thus, the first connecting section 2221 is used to connect the first claw 222 and the first fixed base 221, and the second connecting section 2321 is used to connect the second claw 232 and the second fixed base 231. The first arc groove 2224 and the second arc groove 2323 improve the contact effect between the first claw 222 and the second claw 232 and the roller 131. The second locking segment 2322 has two locking feet 2223 set at an angle. Therefore, the second locking segment 2322 only needs to rotate the second locking claw 232 to allow different locking feet 2223 to abut against the roller 131, making it more convenient to release the roller 131. Since the first locking claw 222 only needs to release the roller 131 to move forward, there will not be two rollers 131 between the first locking claw 222 and the second locking claw 232. Therefore, the first locking claw 222 only needs to be provided with one locking foot 2223.

[0076] Furthermore, the transport frame 11 has a first position and a second position. The first stop unit 22 can stop the moving component 13 at the first position, and the second stop unit 23 can stop the moving component 13 at the second position. The stop module 20 also includes a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor is installed at the first position, and the second sensor is installed at the second position. Thus, the first sensor can detect whether there is a moving component 13 at the first position, that is, determine whether the first gripper 222 is limited by the moving component 13. When there is a moving component 13 at the first position, it means that once the first gripper 222 enters the unlimited state, the moving component 13 will enter the main rod 12. Similarly, the second sensor can determine the next action that the second gripper 232 should take based on whether there is a moving component 13 at the second position.

[0077] The present invention also provides a control method for a garment hanging exit device 100, comprising: S1: detecting whether the moving component 13 is present at a second position; when the moving component 13 is detected at the second position, the second stop unit 23 leaves the moving path of the moving component 13; S2: detecting whether the moving component 13 is present at a first position; when the moving component 13 is detected at the first position, the first stop unit 22 leaves the moving path of the moving component 13; S3: driving the module 30 to operate and push the moving component 13 to move. Thus, when the moving component 13 is present at the second position, the second stop unit 23 leaves the moving path of the moving component 13, allowing the moving component 13 to be pushed by the drive module 30 towards the first position. When the moving component 13 is also present at the first position, the first stop unit 22 also leaves the moving path of the moving component 13, allowing the moving component 13 at the first position to continue moving. As already described above, only one of the first stop unit 22 and the second stop unit 23 will leave the movement path within the transport frame 11. Therefore, when the first stop unit 22 releases the moving component 13, the second stop unit 23 will descend and stop the next moving component 13 from continuing to move forward.

[0078] The control method of the garment hanging exit device 100 also includes that when no moving component 13 is detected at the second position, the lifting box 101 is driven to work and the moving component 13 is lifted to the second position. At this time, the second claw 232 waits in place for the moving component 13 to move.

[0079] When a moving component 13 is detected at the first position, the control module determines whether to perform an exit action. If exit is required, the first gripper 222 is raised and the drive module 30 is activated. If exit is not performed, the first gripper 222 is kept in its original position.

[0080] Please see Figure 15 ,exist Figure 15 The mid-range cylinder is the stop module 20, and sensor one is the first sensor, and sensor two is the second sensor.

[0081] In this embodiment, the first drive unit 32 drives the swing arm 341 to rotate one revolution, which allows the moving component 13 to move from the second position to the first position and finally stop on the main rod 12. It is then pushed and transported by the external main rod rack 102 on the main rod 12. Since there is always a moving component 13 at the second position to ensure the efficiency of the hanger 133 leaving the station, the swing arm 341 cannot swing back to the initial position, as this would cause interference with the moving component 13. Therefore, in this embodiment, both the first drive unit 32 and the swing arm 341 are set to operate one revolution, that is, to rotate in one direction.

[0082] Therefore, the control method of the garment hanging and exiting device 100 for the first drive unit 32 further includes: the first drive unit 32 has at least one acceleration period and at least one deceleration period. The first drive unit 32 decelerates when the swing arm 341 is about to contact the moving component 13 and when the swing arm 341 is about to disengage from the moving component 13, and accelerates when the swing arm 341 just contacts the moving component 13 and when it is not in contact with the moving component 13. In this way, the deceleration of the swing arm 341 when it is about to contact the moving component 13 can reduce the collision between the swing arm 341 and the moving component 13, avoiding bumps and noise. The deceleration when disengaging from the moving component 13 can ensure that the moving component 13 has a stable speed after disengaging from the swing arm 341 and will not lose control. After the swing arm 341 contacts the moving component 13, the relative position of the two remains stable after contact, and at this time it can accelerate to improve the moving efficiency of the moving component 13. After disengaging from the moving component 13, the acceleration of the swing arm 341 can make it complete one revolution as soon as possible to carry out the next cycle of pushing the moving component 13.

[0083] Please see Figures 13-14 ,exist Figure 14 In the diagram, point A is the initial zero position of the first drive unit 32. Upon receiving a signal, the first drive unit 32 accelerates from point A, then gradually decelerates from point B to point C. Point B is an intermediate transition point, and point C is the point where the swing arm 341 just makes contact with the moving component 13. The deceleration is to prevent excessive speed from damaging the moving component 13 and to avoid excessive impact and increased noise. After the swing arm 341 contacts the moving component 13, the first drive unit 32 accelerates from point C to push the moving component 13 to point D, then decelerates to point E. Point D is the point where the moving component 13 is about to move onto the main rod 12. At the cornering point, point E is the stopping position where the moving component 13 lands on the main pole 12. The deceleration at the beginning of segment DE is to prevent the moving component 13 from landing on the main pole 12 too quickly and wobbling, causing instability of the moving component 13, and the moving component 13 is prone to jamming if the cornering speed is too fast. After point E, the swing arm 341 begins to separate from the moving component 13, and the first drive unit 32 prepares to quickly return to zero and begin to accelerate. When it is close to the zero position at point F, it begins to decelerate to the zero position at point A and hold it. Point F is the transition point to ensure that the first drive unit 32 quickly resets and improves the overall time efficiency.

[0084] Compared with the prior art, the present invention, through the cooperation of the stop module 20 and the drive module 30, enables the moving component 13 carrying the hanger 133 to ensure that the time interval and position of the hanger 133 falling onto the main rod 12 are consistent according to the preset fixed time, and to complete the exit action, thereby avoiding the transport of multiple hangers 133 at the same position on the main rod 12, which would affect the operation of the production line.

[0085] 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.

[0086] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
