The cutting blade 231 cuts the fabric, and the collection cover 211, through the tube 212 and in conjunction with the vacuum cleaner body 213, absorbs and collects the fallen threads.

[0037] In summary, it allows for easy collection and cleaning of loose threads that fall during cutting.

[0038] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The cutting table 100 has a horizontal groove 110 on its rear side wall. The horizontal groove 110 is used to limit the movement of the translation block 111. The inner wall of the horizontal groove 110 is provided with the translation block 111, which is used to drive the second groove block 112 to move. The rear side wall of the translation block 111 extends to the outside of the horizontal groove 110 and is fixedly connected to the second groove block 112. The second groove block 112 is used to install the first pressure plate 113. The inner wall of the second groove block 112 is provided with the first pressure plate 113, which is used to press and fix the fabric after smoothing. The front side wall of the first pressure plate 113 extends to the outside of the second groove block 112. The right side wall of the first pressure plate 113 is fixedly connected to a scraper 114, which is used to smooth the fabric. A second servo motor 120 is bolted to the right side wall, driving the second screw 121 to rotate. The second screw 121 is rotatably connected to the left side of the inner wall of the transverse groove 110 via a bearing, driving the translation block 111 to move. The right end of the second screw 121 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second servo motor 120. The translation block 111 is screwed to the second screw 121, and its outer side wall is slidably connected to the inner wall of the transverse groove 110. A first electric telescopic cylinder 122 is fixedly connected to the top of the second groove block 112, cooperating with the first pressure plate 113. The bottom end of the first electric telescopic cylinder 122 extends into the inner cavity of the second groove block 112 and engages with the first pressure plate 113. The top of the pressure plate 113 is fixedly connected, and the outer wall of the first pressure plate 113 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second groove block 112. A mounting bracket 130 is fixedly connected to the top of the cutting table 100 and to the left side of the first groove block 200. The mounting bracket 130 is used to install the second electric telescopic cylinder 132 and to limit the movement of the second pressure plate 131. The second pressure plate 131 is slidably connected between the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the mounting bracket 130. The second pressure plate 131 is used to press and fix the fabric to facilitate subsequent smoothing. The right side wall of the second pressure plate 131 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the first groove block 200. The second electric telescopic cylinder 132 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the mounting bracket 130. The second electric telescopic cylinder 132 is used to drive the second pressure plate 131. The bottom end of the second electric telescopic cylinder 132 extends to the inside of the mounting bracket 130 and is fixedly connected to the top of the second pressure plate 131. The vacuum cleaner body 213 is fixedly connected to the top front side of the mounting bracket 130. The scraper 114 is made of silicone material to prevent it from scratching or damaging the fabric.

The bottom of the first pressure plate 113 and the second pressure plate 131 are provided with a rubber layer to increase friction with the fabric and improve the fixing effect. A rubber plate is inlaid on the top of the cutting table 100 and below the second pressure plate 131.The rubber sheet is used to enhance the fixing effect of the rubber layer of the second pressure plate 131, thereby preventing movement during subsequent smoothing. The fabric is unfolded and laid flat on the cutting table 100. The second electric telescopic cylinder 132 is activated by the external controller, which drives the second pressure plate 131 to move downward with the mounting bracket 130 to press and fix the fabric. The second servo motor 120 is activated by the external controller. The output shaft of the second servo motor 120 rotates, which drives the second screw 121 to rotate, thereby driving the translation block 111 to move to the left with the horizontal groove 110, thus driving... The first pressure plate 113 moves to the left to reset. An external controller then activates the first electric telescopic cylinder 122, causing the first pressure plate 113 to move downwards in conjunction with the second groove block 112. This brings the scraper 114 into contact with the fabric. Next, the output shaft of the second servo motor 120 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the scraper 114 to move to the right to smooth the fabric. After moving a certain distance from the end of the fabric, the movement stops. The first electric telescopic cylinder 122 is then activated again, causing the first pressure plate 113 to continue moving downwards to press and fix the fabric.

[0039] In summary, this method can quickly smooth out fabric, which is convenient and improves work efficiency.

[0040] In practical use, those skilled in the art fix the fabric roll to the mounting bracket on the left side of the cutting table 100 to facilitate subsequent unfolding. The fabric is then unfolded and laid flat on the cutting table 100. An external controller activates the second electric telescopic cylinder 132, which moves the second pressure plate 131 downwards in conjunction with the mounting bracket 130 to press and fix the fabric. Simultaneously, the second pressure plate 131 moves the first groove block 200 downwards. The external controller activates the second servo motor 120, whose output shaft rotates, causing the second screw 121 to rotate, thereby moving the translation block 111 to the left in conjunction with the transverse groove 110. This causes the first pressure plate 113 to move to the left for reset. The external controller then activates the first electric telescopic cylinder 122, which moves the first pressure plate 113 downwards in conjunction with the second groove block 112, bringing the scraper 114 into contact with the fabric. Finally, the output shaft of the second servo motor 120 is controlled to reverse direction. The rotation causes the scraper 114 to move to the right to smooth the fabric. After moving a certain distance from the end of the fabric, it stops moving. The first electric telescopic cylinder 122 is activated again to drive the first pressure plate 113 to continue moving downward to press and fix the fabric. After completion, the adjusting screw 232 is rotated to drive the cutting blade 231 downward to the outside of the collection cover 211 through the mounting block 230. The first servo motor 220 and the vacuum cleaner body 213 are activated simultaneously through the external controller. The output shaft of the first servo motor 220 rotates to drive the first screw 221 to rotate. The first screw 221 then drives the L-shaped block 210 to move backward in conjunction with the first groove block 200. The L-shaped block 210 drives the collection cover 211 and the cutting blade 231 to move backward together. The cutting blade 231 cuts the fabric in conjunction with the cutting groove 140. The collection cover 211, through the tube 212, in conjunction with the vacuum cleaner body 213, absorbs and collects the fallen thread ends.
