[0034] Syringe 1: comprising a sleeve 11 having a clamped portion 111 and a pull rod 12 having a squeezed portion 121, the sleeve 11 being provided with a guide groove 13 and a blocking seat 14;

[0035] The collar 2 with a pin hole is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve 11. The collar 2 can move axially relative to the syringe 1 by cooperating with the guide groove 13 through the pin shaft 21 connected to the pull rod 12;

[0036] The pin 21 is fixed to the pull rod 12, and the pin 21 passes through the guide groove 13 and is connected to the pin hole of the collar 2;

[0037] The connecting arm gripper 3 is composed of an upper arm 31 and a swinging hand 32 with a second elbow 34 . One end of the upper arm is hinged to the collar 2 , and the other end is hinged to one end of the swinging hand 32 to form a first elbow 33 . The second elbow 34 of the swinging hand 32 is hinged to the blocking seat 14 .

[0038] Clamping state: Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamped portion 111 is clamped to fix the sleeve 11, and the squeezed portion 121 is squeezed and then the pull rod 12 drives the ring 2 to move axially downward, while at the same time driving one end of the upper arm 31 to move downward, so that the inner angle of the first elbow 33 becomes smaller, the first elbow 33 is offset outward, and the part below the second elbow 34 of the swing hand 32 swings inward to merge with each other and thus clamp the cloth.

[0039] Open state: Figure 5 As shown, the clamped portion 111 is clamped to fix the sleeve 11, and the squeezed portion 121 is pulled up and then the pull rod 12 is pulled up to drive the ring 2 to move axially upward, thereby driving one end of the upper arm 31 to move upward, so that the inner angle between the upper arm 31 and the swing hand 32 becomes larger, and the part above the second elbow 34 of the swing hand 32 swings inward while the parts below the second elbow 34 move away from each other, thereby releasing the clamping state.

[0040] The present needle-type cloth clamp has a sleeve 11 with a clamped portion 111 and a pull rod 12 with a squeezed portion 121 that can be matched as follows: Figure 6-7 The syringe-type opening robot of the small sample dyeing and finishing machine can grab the syringe-type opening device of the mother liquid bottle to drip liquid into the sample cup, and can also grab the syringe-type fabric clamp to clamp the fabric into the sample cup. There is no need to set up a second mechanical gripper to clamp the fabric sample, which reduces the cost of the dyeing and finishing machine and simplifies the industrial control setting.

[0041] Embodiment 2. This embodiment is an optional embodiment of the clamped portion, such as Figure 2 As shown, the clamped portion 111 is the upper portion of the sleeve and the flange 112 provided on the upper portion of the sleeve.

[0042] Embodiment 3. This embodiment is an optional embodiment of the clamped portion, such as Figure 3 As shown, the clamped portion 111 is two flanges 112 on the upper portion of the sleeve for defining the clamping position.

[0043] Embodiment 4. This embodiment is an optional embodiment of the squeezed portion, such as Figure 2-3As shown, the squeezed portion 121 is a cap rod 122 disposed at the end of the pull rod 12 .

[0044] Embodiment 5. This embodiment is an optional embodiment of the squeezed portion, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the squeezed portion 121 is a cap nail provided at the end of the pull rod 12 .

[0045] Example 6. Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the blocking seat 14 includes a blocking platform 141 and a hinged seat 142 . The blocking seat 14 is blocked at the bottom end of the sleeve 11 through the blocking platform 141 , and the second elbow 34 of the swinging hand 32 is hinged to the hinged seat 142 .

[0046] When the pull rod 12 is pressed downward and contacts the blocking seat 14 , the clamping state of the connecting arm gripper 3 is optimal.

[0047] Example 7. Figure 1-3 As shown, the portion below the second elbow 34 of the swinging hand 32 is a clip 321, and the inner side of the clip 321 is a plane.

[0048] Example 8. Figure 1 , 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the upper arm 31 and the swinging hand 32 are both three. When clamping the cloth, the inner swing below the second elbow 34 of the swinging hand 32 merges with each other and the end portion is Figure 4 The triangular bell shown has three clamping points, and the fabric can be clamped at any clamping point, making it easier to clamp the fabric.

[0049] Embodiment 9. This embodiment shows a fixture controlled by a dyeing and finishing machine robot, such as Figure 6-7 As shown, it includes a dyeing and finishing machine and a manipulator 4 provided on the dyeing and finishing machine, the manipulator 4 can move on the dyeing and finishing machine along the X, Y, and Z axes, and the manipulator 4 is provided with a clamping portion 41 and a pumping portion 42;

[0050] The clamping portion 41 and the pumping portion 42 are Figure 1-3 The clamped portion 111 and the squeezed portion 121 of the needle-type cloth clamp shown in the figure cooperate with each other.

[0051] Exemplarily, the clamped part and the squeezed part of the syringe-type cloth clamp have the same clamping and squeezing principle as a syringe-type liquid dispensing device disclosed in CN117328239A, and the same manipulator can adapt to syringe-type dripping and grasping of cloth.

[0052] Exemplarily, the clamped part and the squeezed part of the syringe-type cloth clamp are the same as the clamping and squeezing principle of the suction syringe used in a syringe-type automatic material cutting method disclosed in CN112064270A, and the same robot can be adapted to cutting and grabbing cloth.

[0053] Exemplarily, the clamped part and the squeezed part of the syringe-type cloth clamp are the same as the clamping and squeezing principle of the suction syringe used in the material cutting waste liquid recovery storage device disclosed in CN215210033U, and the same robot can be adapted to suck materials and grab cloth.

[0054] The fixture controlled by the dyeing and finishing machine robot can cooperate with the syringe-type opening robot of the small sample dyeing and finishing machine. The robot can grab the syringe-type opening device of the mother liquid bottle to drip liquid into the sample cup, and can also grab the syringe-type fabric clamp to clamp the fabric to the sample cup. There is no need to set up a second mechanical gripper to clamp the fabric sample, which reduces the cost of the dyeing and finishing machine and simplifies the industrial control setting.

[0055] Embodiment 10. Not shown in the figure, the clamping target of the connecting arm gripper 3 is a fabric sample, or the supporting target of the connecting arm gripper 3 is a fabric cage containing a fabric sample.

[0056] For example, Figure 6-7 As shown, assuming that there are No. 1-6 fabric samples in the fabric sample area and No. 1-6 sample cups in the dyeing and finishing area, the robot 4 is controlled to grab the syringe-type fabric clamp and move it to the area where fabric sample No. 1 in the fabric sample area is located, and the No. 1 fabric sample is clamped by the clamp and moved to the area where sample cup No. 1 in the dyeing and finishing area is located and the clamp is opened, and the fabric sample is put into the sample cup to perform the pre-processing or post-processing procedure.

[0057] For example, Figure 6-7 As shown, assuming that there are No. 1-6 fabric samples in the fabric sample area and No. 1-6 sample cups in the dyeing and finishing area, the robot 4 is controlled to grab the syringe-type fabric clamp and move it to the area where fabric sample No. 1 in the fabric sample area is located, and the clamp clamps fabric sample No. 1 and moves it to sample cup No. 1 in the dyeing and finishing area, and inserts the fabric sample into the cup. The clamp does not leave the cup and maintains a clamping state to directly participate in the pre-processing or post-processing procedure and then directly take out the fabric sample.

[0058] For example, Figure 6-7 As shown, assuming that there are No. 1-6 cloth cages in the cloth sample area, there are cloth samples in the cloth cages, and there are jacks on the top of the cloth cages, and there are No. 1-6 sample cups in the dyeing and finishing area, the robot 4 is controlled to grab the syringe-type cloth clamp and move it to the area where the No. 1 cloth cage in the cloth sample area is located, and the clamp is inserted into the jack of the No. 1 cloth cage in a clamped state, and the clamp then takes the cloth cage in an open state and moves it to the area where the No. 1 sample cup in the dyeing and finishing area is located, and the clamping state is restored, and the cloth cage is put into the sample cup to execute the pre-processing or post-processing procedure.

[0059] For example, Figure 6-7As shown, assuming that there are No. 1-6 cloth cages in the cloth sample area, there are cloth samples in the cloth cages, there are insertion holes on the top of the cloth cages, and there are No. 1-6 sample cups in the dyeing and finishing area, the robot 4 is controlled to grab the syringe-type cloth clamp and move it to the area where the No. 1 cloth cage in the cloth sample area is located, and the clamp is inserted into the insertion hole of the No. 1 cloth cage in a clamped state, and the clamp then takes the cloth cage in an open state and moves it to the No. 1 sample cup in the dyeing and finishing area, and inserts the cloth cage into the cup, and the clamp does not leave the cup and remains in an open state to directly participate in the pre-processing or post-processing program, and then directly takes out the cloth cage.

[0060] The above disclosure is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
