Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment processing, specifically a rotating conveyor for garment templates. Background Technology
[0002] The employment situation in garment factories is characterized by diversity and complexity, influenced by a variety of factors. Apart from large companies, small and medium-sized factories generally have low levels of automation. The following is an analysis of the current labor shortages in garment factories: difficulties in recruitment, an aging workforce, high employee turnover, long working hours, harsh working conditions, and unstable labor quality.
[0003] To solve the aforementioned social problems, it is necessary to increase the automation of equipment to improve speed and ensure product quality.
[0004] The authorized announcement number is CN 220097737 U. A garment piece stacking gripper with adjustable gripping thickness function is disclosed. The thickness of the gripper is adjusted by setting the inner gripper of the thickness adjustable gripper. The flatness of the gripping surface is maintained by setting the built-in plate in the side gripper, thereby realizing the stacking of garment pieces.
[0005] The stacking function implemented in the aforementioned patent documents cannot solve the problem of fabric gripping accuracy.
[0006] The automatic loading and unloading mechanism of a garment template machine with authorization announcement number CN205011974U can only provide automatic loading and unloading of templates.
[0007] The authorization announcement number is CN 221939500 U. An automatic loading and unloading mechanism for a garment template machine provides a vacuum suction cup 29, which cannot be used for thinner or more breathable fabrics, and cannot be used for multi-layered fabrics (with outer fabric and lining). Utility Model Content
[0008] This utility model provides a rotating conveyor for garment templates, used for rotating and conveying garment templates, and achieving automatic feeding through template conveying.
[0009] Therefore, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a rotating conveyor turntable for garment templates, including a device frame, a tabletop on the device frame, three-axis truss manipulators mounted on both sides of the tabletop, and a sewing device mounted at the front end of the tabletop, characterized in that: the three-axis truss manipulators are also equipped with integrated grippers; a turntable mechanism is located in the middle of the tabletop; the turntable mechanism includes a turntable tabletop, on which a guide groove is provided;
[0010] A turntable frame is provided under the turntable table, and a turntable motor is provided under the turntable frame. The turntable motor passes through the turntable frame and is connected to a rotating bracket. A linear guide rail is provided on the rotating bracket, and a traveling trolley is also mounted on the linear guide rail. The traveling trolley is driven by a traveling motor. The rotating bracket is provided with a rack corresponding to the linear guide rail. The traveling motor drives the traveling trolley to move along the rack and the linear guide rail through gears.
[0011] The traveling trolley is equipped with a lifting cylinder, and a connecting plate is provided on the ejector end of the lifting cylinder;
[0012] Rotary clamping cylinders are also provided at both ends of the connecting plate, and rotary cylinder grippers are provided at the top of the rotary clamping cylinders.
[0013] The rotary cylinder gripper extends through the guide groove to form a clamping mechanism relative to the turntable table.
[0014] As the traveling trolley moves along the rack and linear guide, the rotary cylinder gripper also moves along the guide groove, thus linearly moving the pressed template to the next workstation.
[0015] The effect is that the guide groove provides a dual-station arrangement, and the precise positioning of the turntable table and the walking motor, as well as the rotating cylinder grippers of the lifting cylinder and the rotating clamping cylinder, form a clamping mechanism relative to the turntable table, so that the walking trolley will not loosen when it is walking.
[0016] Further improvements include: a lifting limit block is provided on the connecting plate of the lifting cylinder; a lifting support block is provided on the outside of the rotating clamping cylinder corresponding to the connecting plate; the lifting support block is higher than the turntable table after the template is lifted.
[0017] The effect is that the rotary cylinder gripper, the lifting limit block, and the lifting support block limit and press the template up and down. The lifting support block raises the template slightly above the table, and the rotary cylinder gripper presses down on the template, clamping the template while preventing it from being damaged or crushed.
[0018] A further improvement is that a template positioning pin is installed on the turntable table.
[0019] The effect is that: after determining the reference position of the template and clamping the template, the walking motor drives the gear to move the template along the rack and linear slide rail, ensuring that the template position is accurate and controllable during the movement process.
[0020] A further improvement is that limiting devices are also provided at both ends of the linear guide rail.
[0021] The effect is that the aforementioned limiting device provides a safety protection function. Beneficial effects
[0022] In this invention, a three-axis gantry robot precisely delivers an integrated gripper to the material placement position on the table. Then, the integrated gripper picks up fabrics and templates of different thicknesses, sequentially picking up the lower template, thicker material, thinner material, and upper template from the table, placing them on a turntable mechanism. The turntable mechanism rotates 180° to ensure accurate feeding position. At this point, the first and second needle-type suction cups can accurately pick up both thick and thin materials, achieving precise gripping of fabrics as thin as 0.1mm. Attached Figure Description
