[0029] The collar opening and closing device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is exemplary, see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a collar carrying and stopper opening device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The collar carrying and stopper opening device 10 of the present application can be used in a collar carrying process. It should be noted that the collar carrying process refers to the process of cutting a stopper after the first and second pieces are sewn together. In garment making, a "stopper" is also called a "stop point" or "stop seam", which refers to the end point of the sewing line when sewing two pieces together, such as the opening of a garment, the edge of a pocket, or a position that requires a clean finish.

[0030] In order to more clearly illustrate the structure of the collar opening and closing device 10, the collar opening and closing device 10 will be introduced in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 As shown,

[0031] A collar transport and stoppering device 10 includes a machine 100, a positioning mechanism 200, a multi-directional motion mechanism 300, a collar transport mold 400, and a sewing mechanism 500. The positioning mechanism 200 is mounted on the machine 100 and located above a work surface 101 on the machine 100. The positioning mechanism 200 is used to assist in positioning a first and second piece on the work surface 101 in a positioning area 102 on the work surface 101 so as to overlap. The collar transport mold 400 is connected to the multi-directional motion mechanism 300. The multi-directional motion mechanism 300 is mounted on the machine 100 and is used to drive the collar transport mold 400 to move the first and second pieces so as to overlap. The multi-directional motion mechanism 300 is also capable of driving the collar transport mold 400 to move along a preset sewing path at the sewing mechanism 500. The sewing mechanism 500 is used to join the first and second pieces and to cut a stopper on the joined pieces to obtain a collar piece.

[0032] In some embodiments, the multi-directional motion mechanism 300 can move relative to the work surface 101 along the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction, and can move arbitrarily in the space formed by the three axes of the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction.

[0033] In some embodiments, the multi-directional motion mechanism 300 is a robot arm that can be programmed to perform various predetermined tasks, has multiple degrees of freedom, and can complete complex motion sequences.

[0034] In some embodiments, the collar transport and opening device 10 further includes a material receiving mechanism 600. The material receiving mechanism 600 is installed on the machine 100. The material receiving mechanism 600 is used to receive the collar pieces after the collar is transported and sewn together.

[0035] In some embodiments, the material receiving mechanism 600 includes a material receiving box 601 and a material receiving assembly 602. The material receiving box 601 is mounted on the machine 100, with the top opening of the material receiving box 601 positioned no higher than the work surface 101 of the machine 100. The material receiving assembly 602 is movably connected to the machine 100. The material receiving assembly 602 is operable to move collar pieces from the work surface 101, which have been processed by collar transport and seaming, into the material receiving box 601.

[0036] In some embodiments, the receiving assembly 602 includes a receiving arm and a receiving drive. The receiving drive is mounted on the machine 100 and connected to the receiving arm. The receiving drive is used to drive the receiving arm to move along a predetermined path. In this application, the receiving assembly 602 enables the receiving of finished collar pieces from the work surface 101, eliminating manual material collection and further improving work efficiency.

[0037] In some embodiments, the receiving drive component may be a drive motor.

[0038] In some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 200 can emit at least one positioning light beam toward the positioning area 102 on the work surface 101 to assist in positioning the first and second pieces.

[0039] In some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 200 can laser a plurality of positioning beams at different positions toward the positioning area 102 on the work surface 101 to assist in positioning the first and second pieces.

[0040] In some embodiments, the positioning area 102 on the work surface 101 is provided with a plurality of suction holes, which can achieve negative pressure through an external negative pressure device to fix the first and second pieces in the positioning area 102 .

[0041] In some embodiments, the collar mold 400 includes a mold body and a plurality of side panels 401. The mold body is connected to a movable end mounted on the multi-directional motion mechanism 300. The plurality of side panels 401 are detachably connected to the mold body. The plurality of side panels 401 are provided with sewing channels and stopper channels. The position of the plurality of side panels 401 on the mold body is adjustable to accommodate first and second pieces of varying sizes.

[0042] In some embodiments, the collar opening and stoppering device 10 further includes a suction mechanism, which is communicated with the suction holes on the work surface 101 .

[0043] In some embodiments, the collar-carrying and seam-opening device 10 further includes a control mechanism. The control mechanism is electrically connected to the positioning mechanism 200, the multi-directional motion mechanism 300, the sewing mechanism 500, the suction mechanism, and the material receiving drive. The control mechanism may be a programmable logic controller (PLC). The control mechanism can be configured with a control program as needed to control the respective operations of the positioning mechanism 200, the multi-directional motion mechanism 300, the sewing mechanism 500, the suction mechanism, and the material receiving drive.

[0044] When the collar opening and stoppering device 10 is used for processing, the following steps are included:

[0045] The control mechanism controls the suction mechanism to suck air, and the operator manually places the first piece and the second piece in the positioning area 102, fixes the first piece and the second piece by suction, and the control mechanism controls the positioning mechanism 200 to turn on the laser to emit a positioning light. The operator fine-tunes the position of the first piece and the second piece according to the position of the positioning light, and realizes that the first piece and the second piece are overlapped and aligned according to the preset requirements.

[0046] The control mechanism controls the multi-directional motion mechanism 300 to drive the collar transport mold 400 to move to the positioning area 102 and press on the overlapping first and second cutting pieces. The control mechanism controls the suction mechanism to stop suction.

[0047] The control mechanism controls the multi-directional motion mechanism 300 to move the collar transport mold 400 to the sewing station of the sewing mechanism 500. The control mechanism controls the sewing mechanism 500 to operate, and the multi-directional motion mechanism 300 moves along a predetermined sewing path, so that the sewing mechanism 500 can sew the overlapping first and second panels together to form a joined panel. Simultaneously, the cutter on the press shoe of the sewing mechanism 500 simultaneously cuts the stopper to form the collar panel. The multi-directional motion mechanism 300 then drives the collar transport mold 400 upward, away from the collar panel.

[0048] The control mechanism drives the material receiving drive assembly, which moves the receiving arm to the sewing station, where it presses against the collar piece and then moves along a predetermined trajectory to the receiving bin 601, completing the material receiving process. Repeating this process allows for mass production. While the sewing mechanism 500 is sewing, the operator can place the next set of first and second pieces in the positioning area 102.

[0049] To sum up, the above-mentioned collar stop opening device 10 can realize automatic sewing of collar pieces, greatly improve the degree of automation, automatically cut out the collar stop, and realize automatic material collection, reduce the labor intensity of operators, eliminate the process of manual cutting of the stop, and significantly improve the processing efficiency of collar pieces.
