Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated garment cutting and production technology, and in particular to a fully automated unmanned single-layer garment cutting system and method adapted to small-batch, fast-response production. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for personalized clothing customization, small-batch, rapid-response production is gradually becoming the mainstream production model in the industry. High-end customized clothing places higher demands on the precision of pattern processing, raw material utilization, and production control. Currently, traditional garment cutting production lines mostly use semi-automated equipment combined with manual labor, which generally has many drawbacks:
[0003] Firstly, order information relies on manual entry, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, resulting in low efficiency in preparing for small-batch, multi-style orders and making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid response and quick style changes in small-batch production. Secondly, many processes, such as fabric feeding, waste cleaning, cut piece quality inspection, and cut piece transfer, involve manual intervention, leading to high labor costs and the potential for errors that affect the quality of cut pieces. Thirdly, there is a lack of systematic measurement and filing management for surplus fabric, making it impossible to accurately match surplus fabric for reuse in subsequent orders, resulting in significant waste of high-end fabrics. Fourthly, cut piece inspection relies on manual visual verification, which has limited accuracy, a high rate of missed detections, and lacks automatic marking methods for defective cut pieces. Finally, the various processing equipment operate independently, and production data such as orders, cutting, inspection, and warehousing are scattered and isolated, making it impossible to achieve full-process traceability and hindering production control and process optimization. The existing cutting model lacks sufficient intelligence and cannot meet the current needs of unmanned and refined production for small-batch customized garments.
[0004] Therefore, a fully automated unmanned single-layer garment cutting system and method adapted to small-batch, fast-response production is proposed to solve the problems of multiple manual intervention links, large manpower input, and large human operation errors in traditional cutting production lines. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to propose a fully automated, unmanned single-layer garment cutting system and method adapted to small-scale, fast-response garments, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The present invention provides a fully automatic unmanned garment cutting system adapted to small-scale, fast-response production, including a frame body, an industrial control cabinet fixed on the side of the frame body, the industrial control cabinet integrating a central PLC control unit, a motion control card and an MES order management module, and an external wall embedded with a human-machine operation display screen and an electrically connected keyboard input terminal.
[0007] The outer side of the feed end of the main frame is equipped with a barcode scanning trigger module that communicates with the MES order management module;
[0008] Along the main frame from the feeding end to the discharging end, an automatic feeding machine, an automatic fabric feeding machine, a single-layer cutting bed, an intelligent piece inspection unit, an automatic numbering unit, an automatic line drawing unit, and an automatic material receiving device are sequentially cascaded together.
[0009] The automatic feeding machine is equipped with at least one fabric roll support shaft that carries the fabric roll to be cut, and the automatic feeding machine integrates a surplus material management unit containing a high-precision infrared length sensor and a tension controller.
[0010] The single-layer cutting bed is connected to a vacuum system at the bottom and a gantry frame with both ends slidably connected to the longitudinal guide rails is installed above it. A cutting head is slidably installed on the crossbeam of the gantry frame.
[0011] A waste visual positioning unit is installed above the unloading end of the single-layer cutting bed, and an automatic waste gripping arm and a waste collection box are fixed in the corresponding area.
[0012] The intelligent inspection unit, automatic numbering unit, and automatic line drawing unit are all suspended above the conveyor track;
[0013] The automatic receiving device is connected to the AGV transfer equipment on the outside, and the AGV transfer equipment is matched with a three-dimensional intelligent shelf-type cut piece supermarket.
[0014] All of the above execution units are controlled by an automated execution module that communicates and interacts with the MES order management module.
[0015] Preferably, the cutting head is a CNC vibrating knife or a laser cutting head, forming a dual-axis linkage CNC cutting structure with the gantry frame.
[0016] Preferably, the waste visual positioning unit is a high-resolution industrial CCD camera, the waste automatic gripping arm is a multi-axis joint robot or a Cartesian coordinate robot, and the end effector is a pneumatic suction cup or a mechanical gripper.
[0017] Preferably, the surplus material management unit is used to measure the amount of fabric consumed and the amount remaining, and to associate the surplus material information with the order information and upload it to the MES order management module.
[0018] Preferably, the vacuum system generates negative pressure through micropores on the surface of the single-layer cutting bed to flatten and fix the single-layer fabric.
[0019] Preferably, the automatic receiving device is a flexible layered pallet or a conveyor belt, and the AGV transfer equipment is used to transfer the cut pieces to designated storage locations in the cut piece supermarket.
[0020] Preferably, the intelligent inspection unit includes a linear scan camera and a light source assembly for detecting the cutting accuracy and integrity; the automatic line drawing unit can switch inkjet colors, print patch marks on unqualified cutting pieces and trigger an alarm.
[0021] Another aspect of the present invention includes the following steps: S1, QR code triggering: by scanning the QR code of the production accompanying slip through the QR code triggering module, the MES order management module automatically retrieves the order CAD layout drawing, production quantity and cutting accuracy to complete the operation initialization;
[0022] S2. Automatic feeding and fabric delivery: The automatic feeder peels off the fabric and introduces it into the automatic fabric delivery machine. The surplus material management unit measures the fabric feeding length in real time, calculates the remaining length, and creates a surplus material file to upload to the MES system.
[0023] S3, Single-layer cutting: The vacuum system adsorbs and fixes the fabric, and the gantry and the cutting head work together to complete the CNC cutting;
[0024] S4. Waste recycling: The waste visual positioning unit identifies the coordinates of the waste, and the waste automatic gripping arm grabs the waste and puts it into the waste collection box;
[0025] S5. Intelligent inspection and processing: The intelligent inspection unit detects the cut pieces. Qualified cut pieces are numbered and printed with the process line in sequence. Unqualified cut pieces are printed with a patch mark and an alarm is triggered.
[0026] S6. Material collection and transfer: The automatic material collection device collects qualified cut pieces, and the AGV transfer equipment transfers the cut pieces to the cut piece supermarket for storage.
[0027] S7. Manual patching: Operators replace defective cut pieces, send patching confirmation data back to the MES system, and complete the quality closed loop.
[0028] Preferably, in step S2, the surplus material management unit adjusts the fabric conveying tension through a tension controller to avoid stretching and deformation, and simultaneously records fabric consumption and inventory data.
[0029] Preferably, the detection data in step S5 and the patch data in step S7 are both stored in the MES order management module in real time.
[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention eliminates five conventional manual positions: manual order entry, manual fabric feeding, manual waste removal, manual piece inspection, and manual transfer. Only a small number of personnel are retained for auxiliary work such as abnormal patching and piece replacement. The overall manual participation in the cutting production line is reduced by more than 90%. It completely eliminates human-caused problems such as manual entry errors, fabric feeding deviations, missed inspections by visual inspection, and incomplete waste removal, improving the stability of the cutting process from the source. At the same time, it significantly reduces the company's labor costs and alleviates the industry pain points of difficulty in recruiting and high labor costs in the garment industry.
[0031] By directly connecting to the MES order management module through the barcode scanning trigger module, no manual input of any order parameters is required. Scanning the barcode automatically retrieves the production schedule and completes equipment initialization, shortening the preparation time for production of a single order. It supports high-frequency style switching and continuous production of small batch orders without the need for manual readjustment of equipment parameters, perfectly matching the current fast-response production needs of the apparel industry for multiple styles, small batches, and short lead times, thus improving the overall production efficiency of orders.
[0032] The automatic fabric feeding machine incorporates a dedicated surplus material management unit, which automatically completes surplus material size measurement, material information binding, and order traceability filing. All surplus material data is uploaded to the MES system for storage. The system can then automatically match and adapt to smaller orders, directly utilizing existing surplus materials for production, achieving a closed-loop secondary utilization of fabric surplus. Actual production verification has shown that this solution can reduce fabric waste in the garment cutting process, with particularly significant cost savings for high-end, high-priced fabrics such as wool and silk.
[0033] Industrial vision inspection technology replaces traditional manual visual inspection, and the intelligent inspection unit is linked in real time with the cutting parameters of the single-layer cutting bed. Using preset cutting accuracy as a unified inspection benchmark, it can achieve high-precision cutting piece inspection at the ±0.1cm millimeter level. At the same time, the system can automatically identify unqualified cutting pieces and mark them for replacement, and simultaneously provide audible and visual warnings to remind manual intervention. This achieves integrated linkage of cutting, inspection, and anomaly marking, improving the overall pass rate of cutting pieces and fully meeting the stringent cutting accuracy requirements of high-end custom clothing, reducing subsequent sewing rework and garment scrap losses.
[0034] This invention enables fully automated closed-loop operation from order scanning to fabric piece storage, with seamless connections between processes and no waiting time. Compared to traditional manually assisted cutting production lines, it improves overall cutting efficiency, stabilizes production rhythm, effectively shortens overall garment production delivery time, and enhances the company's market competitiveness.

[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0039] Aiming at the technical problems existing in the existing garment cutting industry, such as high manual participation, cumbersome order entry, poor adaptability to small-batch quick response, serious residual material waste, low cut piece detection accuracy, and non-traceable production data, the present invention provides a full-automatic unmanned garment single-layer cutting system and method adapted to small-batch quick response, which realizes full-process automated operation from order triggering to cut piece transfer and storage, greatly improves production efficiency and product quality, and reduces production cost and fabric waste.
[0040] The present invention provides a full-automatic unmanned garment single-layer cutting equipment and system adapted to small-batch quick response, which is integrally built on the frame main body 1, and adopts a multi-station continuous automatic assembly line layout as a whole.
[0041] An industrial control cabinet 18 is fixedly installed on the side of the frame main body 1. A central PLC control unit, a motion control card and an MES order management module are integrated inside the industrial control cabinet 18. The MES order management module serves as the system control center, is communicatively connected with all other modules, and realizes linkage control of each module and full-process data intercommunication. A human-machine operation display screen 19 and a keyboard input terminal 20 electrically connected thereto are embedded on the outer wall of the industrial control cabinet 18, which are used for on-site setting of production parameters and state monitoring.
[0042] Outside the feeding end of the frame main body 1, a scan code trigger module 2 communicatively connected with the internal MES order management module is configured. The scan code trigger module 2 is used to trigger the MES order management module to automatically call order production scheduling information and start the full-process automated operation, without manual manual entry of order information.
[0043] From the feeding end to the discharging end of the assembly line, automatic feeders 3 are sequentially and compactly cascaded and assembled on the frame main body 1:
[0044] The automatic feeder 3 is horizontally supported by one or more fabric roll support shafts 4 for carrying the fabric rolls to be cut. An automatic fabric feeder 5 is installed downstream of the automatic feeder 3. An excess material management unit 6 is integrated into the feeding roller conveyor of the automatic fabric feeder 5. The excess material management unit 6 includes a high-precision infrared length sensor and a tension controller, used to dynamically measure and record the amount of fabric consumed and remaining during the feeding process.
[0045] A single-layer cutting bed 7 is continuously spliced on the frame body 1. A vacuum system 21 is connected below the cutting area of the single-layer cutting bed 7. The vacuum system 21 includes a negative pressure fan and a sealed air collection chamber, which is used to generate a downward suction negative pressure through the micropores on the surface of the cutting bed to firmly and flatly adsorb the single-layer fabric.
[0046] A gantry frame 8 is mounted above the single-layer cutting bed 7. The two ends of the gantry frame 8 are slidably connected to the longitudinal guide rails on both sides of the single-layer cutting bed 7 via servo motors, allowing for reciprocating linear motion. A cutting head 9 is slidably mounted on the crossbeam of the gantry frame 8. The cutting head 9 is either a CNC vibrating knife or a laser cutting head. Under servo drive, the cutting head 9 can slide reciprocally along the crossbeam of the gantry frame 8, thereby achieving dual-axis linkage CNC single-layer cutting.
[0047] Above the unloading end of the single-layer cutting bed 7, a set of waste visual positioning units 10 is installed. The waste visual positioning units 10 use high-resolution industrial CCD cameras. A waste automatic gripping arm 11 is screwed onto the main frame 1 near this area. The waste automatic gripping arm 11 can be a multi-axis articulated robot or a Cartesian coordinate robot. The end effector of the waste automatic gripping arm 11 can be a pneumatic suction cup or a mechanical gripper, and its range of motion covers the waste collection box 22 below.
[0048] The waste visual positioning unit 10 accurately identifies the position and shape of the cut waste through visual recognition technology. The waste automatic gripping arm 11 completes the accurate gripping and centralized recycling of the waste according to the recognition results, without the need for manual waste cleaning.
[0049] The automatic fabric feeding machine 5, the single-layer cutting bed 7, the waste visual positioning unit 10, and the waste automatic gripping arm 11 are controlled by the automated execution module, which is used to complete the automated operation of fabric feeding, single-layer cutting, and waste recycling.
[0050] The automatic fabric feeding machine 5 integrates a surplus material management unit 6, which is used to measure the length of the fabric surplus material during the feeding process, input and store the information, and upload the surplus material information to the MES order management module in association with the order information to realize the traceability and reuse of the surplus material.
[0051] The fabric conveyor line continues to extend backward, with an intelligent fabric inspection unit 12, an automatic numbering unit 13, and an automatic line drawing unit 14 installed in sequence. Each unit is suspended above the conveyor track.
[0052] The intelligent inspection unit 12 includes a linear scan camera and a light source assembly, used to perform linear scans on the boundaries of the cut pieces.
[0053] The automatic numbering unit 13 can be a laser marking machine or a non-contact spray gun, used to mark the unique order code on the surface of the cut piece.
[0054] The automatic marking unit 14 uses an inkjet marking mechanism to print alignment lines, pocket positions, and other process marking lines on the cut pieces.
[0055] The intelligent inspection unit 12, automatic numbering unit 13, and automatic line drawing unit 14 are all connected to the automated execution module. The intelligent inspection unit 12 uses the visual inspection technology of a line scan camera to inspect the accuracy and integrity of the cut pieces. The inspection results are fed back to the MES order management module in real time. Unqualified pieces trigger the automatic line drawing unit 14 to mark them for replacement. At the same time, the system reminds the operator to perform the replacement / replacement operation, thus realizing the linkage between inspection and processing.
[0056] At the end of the production line is an automatic receiving device 15, which uses a flexible layered pallet or a conveyor belt. Outside the unloading area of the automatic receiving device 15, an AGV transfer device 16 is planned. The AGV transfer device 16 uses the docking travel trajectory of an automated guided vehicle. The AGV transfer device 16 is used to automatically transport the collected cut pieces to a row of cut piece supermarkets 17. The cut piece supermarkets 17 use a three-dimensional intelligent shelf to classify and store the cut pieces.
[0057] The complete operating principle of the MES order management module is as follows:
[0058] S1, QR code trigger: Scan the QR code on the production order by scanning the QR code on the QR code trigger module 2. The signal is instantly input into the MES order management module inside the industrial control cabinet 18. The system automatically retrieves the CAD layout drawing, production quantity and preset cutting accuracy of the current order in the background, and completes the operation initialization prompt on the human-machine operation display screen 19.
[0059] S2, Automatic Fabric Feeding: The MES command triggers the automatic feeder 3 to start, and the fabric on the fabric roll support shaft 4 is automatically peeled off and fed into the automatic fabric feeder 5. As the fabric is pushed forward at a constant speed and fed into the single-layer cutting bed 7, the sensors of the surplus material management unit 6 calculate the feed length of the fabric in real time, and accurately deduct and file the remaining length of the entire roll of fabric after the feeding is completed. The data is synchronously uploaded to the industrial control cabinet 18.
[0060] S3, Single-layer automatic cutting: After the single-layer fabric is completely laid flat on the surface of the single-layer cutting bed 7, the vacuum system 21 is activated instantly, and the powerful negative pressure sucks up and tightens the fabric. The control cabinet 18 drives the gantry 8 to move longitudinally, and synchronously drives the cutting head 9 to move laterally. The cutting head 9 works at high speed to accurately cut the outline of the cut pieces on the fabric.
[0061] S4, Automatic Waste Recycling: After cutting, the conveyor belt transports the fabric forward. The waste visual positioning unit 10 takes pictures of the skeleton-shaped waste area and extracts its spatial coordinates. The control cabinet 18 controls the automatic waste grabbing arm 11 to move. Its end precisely grabs the mesh waste between the cut pieces and throws it into the waste collection box 22 along a specific trajectory, realizing the cleaning of cutting waste without human intervention.
[0062] S5, Intelligent Piece Inspection and Processing: The cut pieces continue to be transported to the inspection and processing station. The intelligent piece inspection unit 12 performs linear scans on the boundaries of the cut pieces and performs high-precision geometric alignment with the original pattern in the MES.
[0063] If the inspection is qualified, the cut pieces flow through the automatic numbering unit 13 and the automatic drawing unit 14, where the unique order code is stamped on a non-prominent position on the surface of the cut pieces, and process marking lines such as alignment lines and pocket positions are printed.
[0064] If the inspection fails, the automatic marking unit 14 switches the inkjet color and prints a conspicuous red patch mark on the surface of the cut piece. At the same time, the human-machine operation display screen 19 flashes an alarm and issues a manual assistance command.
[0065] S6, Automatic Material Receiving and Transfer: Qualified sheet-shaped cut pieces are neatly stacked and collected in layers by the automatic material receiving device 15 at the end of the production line. Subsequently, the AGV transfer device 16 automatically drives in and docks with the automatic material receiving device 15. After taking over the load, it accurately transports the cut pieces to the designated storage location in the cut piece supermarket 17 according to the scheduling instructions of the MES system and locks them in for storage.
[0066] S7, Manual Assistance: One on-site operator will only need to go to the non-conforming processing area to remove the cut piece marked in red when the alarm is heard, use the scrap materials to complete the replacement, and input the replacement confirmation data to the MES system through the keyboard input terminal 20 or the display screen 19 to ensure batch quality closed loop.
[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
