Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cloth clamps, in particular to a clamp mechanism used for cloth production and processing. Background Art

[0002] Fabrics can be produced and processed into a variety of products, such as bed sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases, bath towels and towels. With the rapid development of automated production technology, automated production equipment has also been widely used in the production and processing of fabrics. It no longer relies on traditional manual sewing, thereby greatly improving the production and processing efficiency of fabrics and reducing the production and processing costs of fabrics.

[0003] During the fabric production process using automated production equipment, a clamping mechanism is often required to clamp and secure the fabric, which is then moved in conjunction with a moving mechanism to facilitate fabric production and processing. Existing clamping mechanisms typically include a lower clamping plate, an upper clamping plate, and a clamping cylinder. The lower clamping plate is L-shaped, with its top fixed to the output end of the moving mechanism. The clamping cylinder is mounted on the vertical rod of the lower clamping plate and located above its crossbar. The upper clamping plate is mounted on the output end of the clamping cylinder and moves back and forth with the crossbar of the lower clamping plate, cooperating with the crossbar of the lower clamping plate to clamp and secure the fabric.

[0004] However, it has been observed that the existing clamp mechanism often gets hooked with the fabric during movement, causing damage to the fabric and requiring the fabric production and processing to be stopped for repair. Therefore, the existing clamp mechanism has the disadvantages of being inconvenient to use and having a high failure rate.

[0005] In view of this, the designer has made in-depth research and actively studied, improved and trial-produced the present utility model to address the many deficiencies and inconveniences caused by the imperfect structural design of the above-mentioned clamp mechanism. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that terms such as "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" indicating orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a preferred embodiment of a clamp mechanism for cloth production and processing of the present invention is shown, which includes a first cylinder 1; a lower clamping plate 2, which is mounted on the output end of the first cylinder 1; a second cylinder 3, which is mounted on the side wall of the lower clamping plate 2; and an upper clamping plate 4, which is mounted on the output end of the second cylinder 3 and movably cooperates with the lower clamping plate 2 to clamp or loosen the cloth.

[0025] When in use, the first cylinder 1 is installed at the output end of the moving mechanism of the automated cloth production equipment, the lower clamping plate 2 is installed at the output end of the first cylinder 1, the second cylinder 3 is installed on the side wall of the lower clamping plate 2, and the upper clamping plate 4 is installed at the output end of the second cylinder 3, and cooperates with the lower clamping plate 2 to clamp or loosen the cloth.

[0026] The focus of the present invention is that the cloth can be loosened by lifting the upper clamping plate 4 by the second cylinder 3, and then the lower clamping plate 2 is lifted by the first cylinder 1, so that the clamping mechanism can be separated from the cloth, avoiding the clamping mechanism from being hooked with the cloth during movement, causing damage to the cloth and requiring the production and processing of the cloth to be stopped for repairs, thereby making the clamping mechanism easy to use and having a low failure rate.

[0027] The above-mentioned lower clamping plate 2 includes a mounting plate 21 and a clamping plate 22. The mounting plate 21 is mounted on the output end of the first cylinder 1, and the second cylinder 3 is mounted on the mounting plate 21. The clamping plate 22 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 21. Because the upper clamping plate 4 and the lower clamping plate 2 will inevitably fail due to frequent active contact during the long-term use of the clamping mechanism, the upper clamping plate 4 and the lower clamping plate 2 need to be regularly maintained or replaced. By setting the lower clamping plate 2 as two parts, the mounting plate 21 and the clamping plate 22, the clamping plate 22 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 21. In this way, not only can the upper clamping plate 4 be directly removed from the output end of the second cylinder 3, but the clamping plate 22 can also be directly removed from the mounting plate 21. The upper clamping plate 4 and the clamping plate 22 can be regularly maintained or replaced without the need to disassemble or install the second cylinder 3. It has the advantage of convenient maintenance.

[0028] The upper clamping plate 4 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 5, through which the upper clamping plate 4 is locked to the output end of the second cylinder 3; the clamping plate 22 is also provided with a waist-shaped hole 5, through which the clamping plate 22 is locked to the mounting plate 21. In this way, when installing the upper clamping plate 4 and the clamping plate 22, the waist-shaped hole 5 can be used to fine-tune the installation position, so that the upper clamping plate 4 is pressed against the clamping plate 22 just right, and the fabric is pressed and fixed tightly. This avoids the formation of a gap between the upper clamping plate 4 and the clamping plate 22, which could prevent the fabric from being pressed and fixed tightly. It also prevents the upper clamping plate 4 from excessively hitting the clamping plate 22 when driven by the second cylinder 3, which could cause damage to the clamping mechanism.

[0029] The clamping mechanism also includes two L-shaped extension plates 6. The upper clamping plate 4 is attached to the output end of the second cylinder 3 via one of the extension plates 6. The clamping plate 22 is attached to the bottom of the mounting plate 21 via the other extension plate 6. This allows the upper clamping plate 4 and the clamping plate 22, which flexibly cooperate with each other, to extend forward and downward. The upper clamping plate 4 and the clamping plate 22 are the primary structures for clamping and securing the fabric. The addition of the extension plates 6 allows them to be positioned away from the main body of the clamping mechanism, minimizing interference with the main body. This facilitates the clamping mechanism's ability to grip the fabric and facilitates operator operation.

[0030] The clamping plate 22 is provided with a groove 221 and a front tongue base plate 222 located at the front end of the groove 221. The upper clamping plate 4 is movable in and out of the groove 221 and is provided with a front tongue pressure plate 41 located above the front tongue base plate 222. In this way, the clamping mechanism can not only clamp and fix the fabric by utilizing the cooperation between the front tongue pressure plate 41 and the front tongue base plate 222, but also clamp and fix the fabric by utilizing the side walls of the groove 221. In this way, the fabric is clamped and fixed more firmly and stably, and the fabric will not fall off even when subjected to large pulling force.

[0031] The clamping mechanism also includes a movable panel 7 and two sets of clamping mechanisms, which are mounted at either end of the front portion of the movable panel 7 and are symmetrically arranged relative to the central axis of the movable panel 7. During use, the two sets of clamping mechanisms can be mounted via the movable panel 7 at the output end of the movable mechanism of the automated fabric production equipment. This means that the output end has two sets of clamping mechanisms, providing a greater clamping force on the fabric and a more secure and stable grip.

[0032] The above description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for the purpose of illustration and description. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise form disclosed, and it is obvious that many changes and variations can be made based on the above teachings. The purpose of selecting and describing the exemplary embodiments is to explain the specific principles of the present invention and its practical application, so that ordinary technicians in the field can realize and utilize various different exemplary embodiments of the present invention and various different options and variations. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by ordinary technicians in the field should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of the present invention.
