Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of computer embroidery machine equipment, specifically to a pneumatic device for fabric lifting in a computer embroidery machine. Background Technology
[0002] Embroidery is a traditional Chinese handicraft. Computerized embroidery systems are a type of engineering CAD. They use computer-aided design functions to convert the designer's ideas into stitch point signals on media such as disks or paper tapes.

[0012] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a pneumatic device for fabric lifting in a computer embroidery machine, which has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. This computerized embroidery machine uses a fabric lifting pneumatic device. Through the cooperation of a cylinder, an L-shaped connecting plate, a lifting plate, and a slide rail, the fabric frame of the first layer of fabric is fixed between the upper and lower clamping plates. When it is necessary to lay the second layer of fabric at the bottom of the first layer, the cylinder is activated. The output end of the cylinder drives the L-shaped connecting plate and the lifting plate to move upward, thereby lifting the first layer of fabric. The worker places the second layer of fabric at the bottom of the first layer of fabric and then performs the three-dimensional embroidery process, thereby further improving the work efficiency of three-dimensional embroidery and reducing the workload of the workers.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a pneumatic device for lifting fabric in a computerized embroidery machine, comprising a base 1 and a back plate 2 fixed to the rear side of the upper surface of the base 1. A top plate 3 is provided on the upper surface of the back plate 2, and a cylinder 4 is provided on the front side of the lower surface of the top plate 3. Four sets of connecting bolts 5 are inserted into the upper surface of the top plate 3. The two sets of connecting bolts 5 located at the rear are threadedly connected to the back plate 2, and the two sets of connecting bolts 5 located at the front are threadedly connected to the upper surface of the cylinder 4. An L-shaped connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 4, and a lifting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the L-shaped connecting plate 6. The lifting mechanism... Two sets of bolt grooves 701 are provided on the front side of the upper surface of the plate 7. Fixing bolts 8 are provided on the inner wall of the bolt grooves 701. A pad 9 is provided on the front side of the lower surface of the lifting plate 7. The fixing bolts 8 are threadedly connected to the pad 9. A lower clamping plate 10 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pad 9. Two sets of sliding rods 11 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower clamping plate 10. An upper clamping plate 12 is slidably fitted on the bottom of the outer surface of the sliding rod 11. A fixing plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod 11. A threaded rod 14 is rotatably connected between the fixing plate 13 and the lower clamping plate 10. The threaded rod 14 is threadedly connected to the upper clamping plate 12. A knob 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 14. Through the cooperation of the cylinder 4, L-shaped connecting plate 6, lifting plate 7, and slide rail 15, the fabric frame of the first layer of fabric is fixed between the upper clamping plate 12 and the lower clamping plate 10. When a second layer of fabric needs to be laid at the bottom of the first layer, the cylinder 4 is activated. The output end of the cylinder 4 drives the L-shaped connecting plate 6 and the lifting plate 7 to move upwards, thereby lifting the first layer of fabric. The worker then places the second layer of fabric at the bottom of the first layer and performs the three-dimensional embroidery process, further improving the efficiency of the three-dimensional embroidery work. This reduces the workload of staff. Through the coordinated use of the lower clamping plate 10, sliding rod 11, upper clamping plate 12, threaded rod 14, and knob 17, staff can place the fabric frame between the upper clamping plate 12 and the lower clamping plate 10. Then, by turning the knob 17, the staff can rotate the threaded rod 14, which in turn moves the upper clamping plate 12 downward. The upper clamping plate 12 and the lower clamping plate 10 clamp and fix the fabric frame, thereby further facilitating the staff's work of clamping and fixing the fabric frame, improving the stability of the fabric frame, and making it easier for staff to use.
[0022] In this utility model, in order to further enhance the stability of the L-shaped connecting plate 6 in lifting and lowering, a slide rail 15 is fixedly connected to the back of the L-shaped connecting plate 6, a slide block 16 that is slidably connected to the slide rail 15 is fixedly connected to the front of the back plate 2, and a through hole is opened on the upper surface of the top plate 3. The movement trajectory of the L-shaped connecting plate 6 is stabilized by the cooperation of the slide rail 15 and the slide block 16, thereby further enhancing the stability of the L-shaped connecting plate 6 in lifting and lowering.
[0023] In this utility model, in order to further enhance the stability of the connecting bolt 5, a washer is fitted on the outer surface of the connecting bolt 5. The washer is made of brass and has a thickness of one millimeter. By setting the washer, the stability of the connecting bolt 5 is further enhanced.
[0024] In this invention, in order to further enhance the rust resistance of the device, the back plate 2, top plate 3, L-shaped connecting plate 6 and lifting plate 7 are all made of aluminum alloy, and the outer surfaces of the back plate 2, top plate 3, L-shaped connecting plate 6 and lifting plate 7 are all anodized. By setting the materials of the device, the rust resistance of the device is further enhanced.
[0025] In this invention, in order to further enhance the rotational stability of the threaded rod 14, ball bearings are provided on the outer surfaces of the lower clamping plate 10 and the fixing plate 13. The lower clamping plate 10 and the fixing plate 13 are rotatably connected to the threaded rod 14 through the ball bearings. By providing the ball bearings, the rotational stability of the threaded rod 14 is further enhanced.
[0026] In this invention, in order to further enhance the stability of the device for clamping the fabric frame, anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to the inner sides of both the lower clamping plate 10 and the upper clamping plate 12. The anti-slip pads are made of rubber and are three millimeters thick, thereby increasing the friction between the upper clamping plate 12 and the lower clamping plate 10 and the fabric frame, and further enhancing the stability of the device for clamping the fabric frame.
[0027] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.
[0028] In use, multiple sets of this device are fixedly placed on the outside of the embroidery machine. The fabric to be printed is fixed on the fabric frame, which is placed between the upper clamping plate 12 and the lower clamping plate 10. Then, the knob 17 is turned, which drives the threaded rod 14 to rotate. The threaded rod 14 drives the upper clamping plate 12 to move downward. The upper clamping plate 12 and the lower clamping plate 10 clamp and fix the fabric frame, thereby fixing the first layer of fabric. The cylinder 4 is started, and the output end of the cylinder 4 drives the L-shaped connecting plate 6 and the lifting plate 7 to move upward, thereby lifting the first layer of fabric. The worker places the second layer of fabric at the bottom of the first layer of fabric. The cylinder 4 is started again to make the L-shaped connecting plate 6 fall, and the first layer of fabric and the second layer of fabric are stacked, thus performing three-dimensional embroidery.
[0029] Although 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 alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
