Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of curtain production and manufacturing, and particularly relates to a folding device for curtain production. Background Art

[0002] Curtains are an essential component of home decor, and their aesthetics, durability, and production efficiency are directly linked to consumer satisfaction and manufacturers' market competitiveness. Traditional curtain production relies on manual marking and folding, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that struggles to ensure precision and consistency. This results in significant variations in the aesthetics and quality of the finished curtains.

[0003] Manual marking and folding require a lot of time and physical strength, especially when dealing with large-sized curtains. The workload is even greater, resulting in low production efficiency. Manual marking cannot guarantee the accuracy and consistency of the lines. Especially after working for a long time, worker fatigue will cause marking deviations, which in turn affects the folding effect and final aesthetics of the curtains. Due to the uncontrollable nature of manual operation, there are differences in the folding position, spacing and folding shape of the finished curtains, resulting in uneven product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a pleating device for curtain production to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A folding device for curtain production, comprising:

[0007] A base frame, a lifting mechanism is fixedly installed on one side of the base frame, a hanging plate is movably installed on one side of the lifting mechanism, a controller is fixedly installed on one side of the base frame, a workbench is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the base frame, a push plate is movably installed on one side of the workbench, and a pressure plate is movably installed on one side of the workbench.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of pushing cylinders are fixedly installed on the top of the base frame close to one side of the push plate, and the output ends of the pushing cylinders are fixedly connected to the push plate.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of pressing cylinders are fixedly mounted on the top of the base frame close to the pressing plate, and the output ends of the pressing cylinders are fixedly connected to the pressing plate.

[0010] Preferably, the controller is electrically connected to the lifting mechanism, the controller is electrically connected to the pushing cylinder, and the controller is electrically connected to the pressing cylinder.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] (1) The automated operation of the present invention greatly shortens the time required for folding curtains, reduces manual intervention, and significantly improves production efficiency. The device can work continuously and stably, and is not affected by factors such as worker fatigue and experience, thereby ensuring the stability of production efficiency. Mechanical control ensures the accuracy and consistency of the folding spacing, avoiding errors and deviations caused by manual marking. The device can automatically adjust the operating parameters according to different curtain sizes and folding requirements. The precise folding and pressing process enhances the flatness of the curtains, improves the aesthetics and quality of the product, and ensures that the curtains are evenly stressed during the folding process, avoiding problems such as uneven folds and inconsistent spacing caused by improper manual operation. Accurate folding positioning makes the curtains easier to handle in subsequent processes such as punching and sewing, thereby improving the overall quality of the finished product, reducing the workers' need for heavy labor such as manual marking and folding, and alleviating the workers' physical burden. The workers only need to operate the controller to complete the folding and positioning of the curtains, thereby reducing labor intensity and work pressure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Example 1:

[0020] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a folding device for curtain production includes:

[0021] The base frame 1 has a lifting mechanism 2 fixedly installed on one side of the base frame 1, a hanging plate 3 movably installed on one side of the lifting mechanism 2, a controller 4 fixedly installed on one side of the base frame 1, a workbench 5 fixedly installed on one side of the top of the base frame 1, a push plate 6 movably installed on one side of the workbench 5, and a pressing plate 7 movably installed on one side of the workbench 5.

[0022] Specifically, a plurality of pushing cylinders 8 are fixedly installed on the top of the base frame 1 near the push plate 6, and the output end of the pushing cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the push plate 6. A plurality of clamping cylinders 9 are fixedly installed on the top of the base frame 1 near the pressure plate 7, and the output end of the clamping cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 7. The controller 4 is electrically connected to the lifting mechanism 2, the controller 4 is electrically connected to the pushing cylinder 8, and the controller 4 is electrically connected to the clamping cylinder 9.

[0023] As can be seen from the above, the lifting mechanism 2 has components such as a motor, a sprocket, a chain, and a linear guide rail to drive the hanging plate 3 to rise and fall. This is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. One side of the hanging plate 3 has a clamping block, which is similar to a spring clip to fix the curtain on one side of the hanging plate 3, allowing the curtain to move up and down with the hanging plate 3. The controller 4 uses a high-stability PLC, and the human-computer interaction interface is a large-screen touch screen. The pushing cylinder 8 can push the push plate 6 close to the curtain, and the pressing cylinder 9 can push the pressing plate 7 to press on one side of the curtain.

[0024] During specific use, the curtain is first fixed on the hanging plate 3, and then the lifting mechanism 2 is started through the control system to make the hanging plate 3 and the curtain drop to the appropriate position, and then the pushing cylinder 8 is started, and the curtain is pushed smoothly onto the workbench 5 by using the push plate 6. Then the push plate 6 is retracted, and the pressing plate 7 is pressed down by the pressing cylinder 9 to fold and press the curtain on the workbench 5 to form a stable crease. The hanging plate 3 is again raised to a certain height by the lifting mechanism 2, driving the curtain to rise, preparing for the next round of folding operation, and repeating the above steps until the curtain reaches the expected fold quantity and spacing. After the folding is completed, the curtain is convenient for subsequent perforation positioning and enters the next process.

[0025] This application can be applied in curtain manufacturing companies, such as a well-known company that focuses on the production of high-quality curtains and has many years of curtain manufacturing experience and technical accumulation. However, with the intensification of market competition and the diversification of consumer demand, the company is facing problems such as low production efficiency, inconsistent product quality, and high labor intensity. Especially in the curtain folding and positioning link, the traditional manual marking and folding methods can no longer meet the needs of large-scale, high-quality production. Therefore, the company decided to introduce the device of this application to improve production efficiency, ensure product quality, and reduce labor intensity. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0026] S1 first conducted a detailed analysis of its own production needs, including the size range of curtains, discount requirements, production scale, etc.

[0027] S2, deliver the discounted device to the company and send professional technicians to carry out on-site installation and commissioning;

[0029] S4. After the installation was completed, the supplier's technical staff conducted comprehensive operation training for the company's employees, including the basic structure, working principle, operation process, precautions, etc. of the discount device;

[0030] S5, before officially going into production, the discount device was fully debugged and tested;

[0031] S6, by adjusting the equipment parameter settings, ensure that the folding spacing, folding shape, etc. meet the company's production requirements;

[0032] S7, after debugging is completed, the discount device is officially put into production.

[0033] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
