Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sewing auxiliary equipment, and particularly relates to an automatic conveying device for an integrated bobbin. Background Art

[0002] The bobbin and the bobbin case are mechanical parts used in sewing machines or embroidery machines, and the two are used in combination. The commonly used bobbin at present needs to be separated from the bobbin case before winding the bottom thread, and then the winding is completed on the winding device. After the bobbin is wound with the bottom thread, it is loaded into the bobbin case, and then the bobbin case loaded with the bobbin is loaded into the rotary shuttle of the sewing machine or embroidery machine for use. When the bottom thread on the bobbin is used up, the bobbin is disassembled and rewound. Repeating this way is time-consuming and laborious, affecting production efficiency. To solve this problem, a bobbin and a bobbin case for an embroidery machine with an application number of CN202111067999.8 have been disclosed, and the bottom thread can be replaced and used without disassembling the bobbin and the bobbin case. To conveniently and quickly convey such an integrated bobbin to a multi-station head, a bobbin case conveying device for a multi-station sewing device with an application number of CN202323166496.3 appears. It uses a conveyor belt with positioning mechanisms distributed on the surface to convey the integrated bobbin under the head. However, how to quickly load the wound integrated bobbin into the positioning mechanism of the conveyor belt has become another problem, and this case comes from this. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an automatic conveying device for an integrated bobbin, which can conveniently convey the wound integrated bobbin to the positioning mechanism of the conveyor belt, and can solve the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is: an automatic conveying device for an integrated bobbin, which is used in cooperation with a conveyor belt with positioning mechanisms distributed on the outer surface, and includes a conduction component, a pushing component, and a positioning component. The positioning component includes a positioning ring that is horizontally arranged with both ends open. One end of the positioning ring is cooperatively connected with the positioning mechanism on the conveyor belt, and the other end is connected to the conduction component. The positioning ring is provided with a positioning groove that cooperates with the integrated bobbin and a slot for the pushing component to enter and exit. The conduction component includes a guide rail that is inclined. The integrated bobbin slides to the lower end along the upper end of the guide rail under the action of gravity. The pushing component includes a driving device and several push hands. The several push hands are driven by the driving device to reciprocate and push the integrated bobbin located at the lower end of the guide rail into the positioning ring and key-connected with the positioning ring, and push the integrated bobbin in the positioning ring into the positioning mechanism on the conveyor belt.

[0005] Further, the conduction component includes several clamps that are driven to open and close by a driving mechanism. The guide rail is a sliding rod, and the lower end of the sliding rod is aligned with the axis of the positioning ring. The several clamps take turns to open and close to clamp the sliding rod, so as to realize the directional sliding of the integrated bobbin sleeved on the sliding rod from the upper end to the lower end.

[0006] Furthermore, the integrated shuttle located inside the positioning mechanism protrudes relative to the outer end face of the positioning mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, it includes a first driving mechanism, which is connected to the positioning ring and drives the positioning ring to reciprocate horizontally to approach / separate from the positioning mechanism located on the conveyor belt.

[0008] Furthermore, a transition piece is slidably connected to the end of the positioning ring close to the conveyor belt. The transition piece has a first positioning groove that cooperates with the integrated shuttle. The transition piece approaches / separates from the positioning mechanism located on the conveyor belt by sliding relative to the positioning ring.

[0009] Furthermore, a transmission mechanism is connected between the transition piece and the driving device that drives the pusher to move. The transition piece is linked with the driving device through the transmission mechanism to achieve reciprocating movement.

[0010] Furthermore, it includes a blowing device. During the conveying process of the integrated shuttle, the blowing device blows air on it so that the thread end on the integrated shuttle is located on the back side of the integrated shuttle.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two pushers arranged front and back. The positioning ring is provided with several magnets. The several magnets magnetically attract the integrated shuttle located inside the positioning ring to make it stay at a fixed position inside the positioning ring. The two pushers are driven by the driving device to move synchronously. The front pusher pushes the integrated shuttle located at the fixed position inside the positioning ring into the positioning mechanism, and the rear pusher pushes the integrated shuttle at the lower end of the guide rail into the fixed position inside the positioning ring.

[0012] By implementing the present utility model, the integrated shuttle is placed on the guide rail and slides downward from the upper end to the lower end. The hook part of the shuttle shell of the integrated shuttle exceeds the diameter of the shuttle shell. Due to the action of gravity, when the integrated shuttle is at the lower end of the guide rail, it is adjusted to an angle where the hook part is aligned with the positioning groove of the positioning ring. The pusher is driven by the driving device to move and push the integrated shuttle at the end of the guide rail into the positioning ring. The hook part of the integrated shuttle is located in the positioning groove, enabling the integrated shuttle to be connected with the key groove of the positioning ring to prevent the integrated shuttle from rotating radially. The conveyor belt rotates to align one of the positioning mechanisms with the positioning ring. The pusher pushes the integrated shuttle to move axially and precisely pushes it into the positioning mechanism at a specific angle. Subsequently, the pusher resets. The conveyor belt rotates to align the next positioning mechanism with the positioning ring, and the pushing action is repeated to conveniently convey the integrated shuttle to the positioning mechanism on the conveyor belt.

Specific embodiments

[0018] Embodiments of the present utility model: As Figures 1 to 4 shown, it is used in cooperation with the conveyor belt 2 with the positioning mechanism 1 distributed on the outer surface, and includes a conduction component, a pushing component, and a positioning component. The positioning component includes a positioning ring 3 that is horizontally arranged with both ends open. One end of the positioning ring 3 is cooperatively connected with the positioning mechanism 1 on the conveyor belt 2, and the other end is connected to the conduction component. The hook part 5 of the shuttle shell of the integrated shuttle 4 exceeds the diameter of the shuttle shell. The positioning ring 3 is provided with a positioning groove 6 that cooperates with the protruding part of the integrated shuttle 4 and a slot 7 for the pushing component to enter and exit. The conduction component includes an inclined guide rail 17. The integrated shuttle 4 slides and positions from the upper end to the lower end of the guide rail 17 under the action of gravity. The pushing component includes a driving device and several pushers 8. The driving device includes a translation mechanism 12 and a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism drives the pusher 8 to lift and cooperate with the integrated shuttle 4 located in the conduction component or the positioning ring 3. Through the translation of the translation mechanism 12, the integrated shuttle is pushed and the pusher 8 is reset. The pusher 8 is driven by the driving device to reciprocate and push the integrated shuttle 4 located at the lower end of the guide rail 17 into the positioning ring 3 and is key-connected to the positioning ring 3, and pushes the integrated shuttle 4 in the positioning ring 3 into the positioning mechanism 1 on the conveyor belt 2, realizing the convenient transportation of the integrated shuttle 4 to the positioning mechanism 1 of the conveyor belt 2.

[0019] As a preference, to automatically align the integrated shuttle 4 at the lower end of the guide rail 17 with the positioning ring 3, so that when the integrated shuttle 4 enters the positioning ring 3, the hook portion 5 just enters the positioning groove 6, the guide rail 17 is a slide bar, and the integrated shuttle 4 is sleeved on the guide rail 17 and slides, and the angle is automatically adjusted by the action of gravity, so as to realize the automatic alignment of the integrated shuttle 4 at the end of the guide rail 17 with the positioning ring 3. To enable the integrated shuttle to smoothly pass through the guide rail 17, the conduction assembly includes a plurality of clamps 19 driven by a driving mechanism to open and close. The plurality of clamps 19 take turns to open and close to clamp the guide rail 17, so that the integrated shuttle 4 can smoothly slide down without changing the position of the guide rail 17. In addition, to enable the integrated shuttles 4 on the guide rail 17 to slide down one by one to the lower end for the pushing assembly to push, a cylinder 9 and a sensor 10 are arranged beside the guide rail 17. The sensor 10 senses the passing integrated shuttle 4, and the cylinder 9 expands and contracts to cooperate with the integrated shuttle 4 to resist. For example, the distance between the cylinder 9 and the last clamp 19 is the distance of one integrated shuttle 4. When the sensor 10 senses the integrated shuttle 4 between the last clamp 19 and the cylinder 9, the cylinder 9 extends to block the subsequent integrated shuttle 4. The last clamp 19 opens to allow the integrated shuttle between the two to slide through to the lower end, and then the clamp 19 closes. The cylinder 9 first contracts to allow an integrated shuttle 4 to slide between the two, and then extends to block the subsequent integrated shuttle 4. Repeat this way to slide one integrated shuttle to the lower end of the guide rail 17 at a time, which is convenient for the pushing assembly to push it into the positioning ring 3.

[0020] As a preference, the integrated shuttle located inside the positioning mechanism 1 protrudes relative to the outer end face of the positioning mechanism 1. For example, in this application, a groove is provided on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2, and the positioning mechanism 1 is arranged in the groove. After the integrated shuttle 4 is conveyed to the positioning mechanism 1 at a specific angle, it protrudes relative to the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2, avoiding interference with the positioning mechanism 1 when the grasping device grasps it, and then being conveyed under the head of the sewing machine or embroidery machine, and the grasping device can conveniently grasp the integrated shuttle in the positioning mechanism 1 into the head.

[0021] As a preference, to enable the integrated shuttle 4 to be accurately conveyed from the positioning ring 3 to the positioning mechanism 1 at a specific angle, the positioning ring 3 needs to be seamlessly connected to the positioning mechanism 1, and the integrated shuttle 4 conveyed into the positioning mechanism 1 protrudes relative to the outer surface of the positioning mechanism 1, and it will interfere with the positioning ring 3 when moving with the conveyor belt 2. To solve this problem, the positioning ring 3 can be translated by a driving mechanism. Specifically, first move the positioning ring 3 close to the positioning mechanism 1 to make the two seamlessly connected, and the pushing assembly pushes the integrated shuttle 4 in the positioning ring 3 into the positioning mechanism 1, and then translate the positioning ring 3 to be separated from the positioning mechanism 1 by a certain distance, so that the integrated shuttle 4 located in the positioning mechanism 1 will not interfere with the positioning ring 3 when moving with the conveyor belt; to solve this problem, it can also be like Figures 2 to 4As shown in the figure, a transition member 11 is slidably connected to the end of the conveyor belt 2 close to the positioning ring 3. The transition member 11 has a first positioning groove 20 that cooperates with the integrated shuttle. The first positioning groove 20 is an extension of the positioning groove 6 of the positioning ring 3. The positioning ring 3 is spaced a certain distance from the conveyor belt 2. The transition member 11 first moves relative to the positioning ring 3 to extend and connect with the positioning mechanism 1 on the conveyor belt 2. When the integrated shuttle 4 is pushed in the positioning ring 3, its hook portion 5 enters the first positioning groove 20 of the transition member 11 from the positioning groove 6. Through the transition of the transition member 11, the integrated shuttle in the positioning ring 3 is accurately pushed into the positioning mechanism 1 on the conveyor belt 2. Subsequently, the transition member 11 slides back and retracts to separate from the positioning mechanism 1. The integrated shuttle 4 located in the positioning mechanism 1 will not interfere with it when moving with the conveyor belt 2.

[0022] As a preference, the transition member 11 needs to be driven by a driving mechanism to slide relative to the positioning ring 3. If a separate driving mechanism is set, the cost will increase, and it also needs to be adjusted in terms of cooperation with the movement of the pushing component, which is prone to errors. Therefore, a transmission mechanism is connected between the transition member 11 of the present application and the driving device that drives the driving pusher to move. Specifically, the positioning ring 3 is fixedly installed on the support 13. The transition member 11 is slidably connected to the positioning ring 3 and the support 13. A return spring 14 is provided between the transition member 11 and the support 13, and is connected to the translation mechanism 12 through a pulling rope 15. When the translation mechanism 12 moves back and resets, the transition member 11 is pulled back through the pulling rope 15 to separate from the positioning mechanism 1. At this time, the spring 14 is compressed. When the translation mechanism 12 moves forward to make the pusher 8 move forward, the pulling rope 15 becomes slack, and the spring 14 resets to push the transition member 11 forward to seamlessly connect with the positioning mechanism 1. The integrated shuttle 4 is pushed from the positioning ring 3 through the transition member 11 into the positioning mechanism 1 under the push of the pusher 8. Subsequently, when the translation mechanism 12 moves back and resets, the transition member 11 is pulled back through the pulling rope 15 to prepare for the next round of pushing. The integrated shuttle 4 located in the positioning mechanism 1 moves with the conveyor belt 2 to align the next positioning mechanism with the positioning ring 3, and the above actions are repeated to achieve the linkage cooperation between the transition member 11 and the driving device.

[0023] As a preference, it includes a blowing device 16. When the integrated shuttle 4 cooperates with the positioning mechanism 1, the core side of the shuttle needs to enter the positioning mechanism 1. Therefore, during transportation, the core side of the integrated shuttle 4 faces the conveyor belt 2 for transportation. To prevent the thread head on the integrated shuttle 4 from running to the core side and being pressed between the core and the rotating shuttle of the machine head after being grabbed by the machine head, resulting in the embroidery machine being unable to lead the thread normally, a blowing device 16 is provided beside it to blow air on the integrated shuttle 4 located on the guide rail 17, so that the thread head is located on the back side of the integrated shuttle.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, in order to shorten the pushing stroke and improve efficiency, there are two pushers 8, which are arranged front and back and are located below the positioning ring 3. They can enter and exit the positioning ring 3 through the slot 7. The positioning ring 3 is provided with several magnets 18, and the several magnets 18 magnetically attract the integrated shuttle located in the positioning ring 3, so that it stays at a fixed position in the positioning ring 3. Both pushers 8 can be driven to rise and fall by the lifting mechanism, or the rear pusher is driven to rise and fall by the lifting mechanism, and the front pusher 8 is transferred to the translation mechanism 12 and is provided with an elastic reset mechanism. When in use, the pusher 8 is first moved by the lifting mechanism and the translation mechanism 12, so that the front pusher 8 is located behind the integrated shuttle at the fixed position in the positioning ring 3, and the rear pusher is located behind the integrated shuttle at the lower end of the guide rail 17, and then the translation mechanism 12 moves forward, and the rear pusher pushes the integrated shuttle at the lower end of the guide rail 17 to the fixed position in the positioning ring 3, and the front pusher pushes the integrated shuttle at the fixed position in the positioning ring 3 into the positioning mechanism 1, and this is repeated to complete the rapid pushing of the integrated shuttle.
