Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a pleating device for fabrics, belonging to the technical field of garment fabric processing. Background Technology

[0002] Aquamarine fabric is a type of fabric that visually presents a unique and eye-catching water-ripple effect. It is soft, smooth to the touch, and has excellent drape, giving it a high-end and fashionable feel, making it popular among consumers. Currently, while aquamarine fabric has a certain visual appeal, it lacks a three-dimensional effect, thus failing to provide users with a rich visual experience.

[0003] Therefore, in existing technologies, the production of water-gloss fabrics often involves pleating the fabric to create smooth, undulating curves on its surface, resulting in a three-dimensional wavy effect. This pleating process requires a pleating machine. The traditional pleating process involves laying the water-gloss fabric flat on the machine, then starting it. The machine lowers its pleating section to heat-press the fabric, creating the desired shape. However, these machines lack edge-restraining mechanisms, meaning that if the fabric isn't completely flat, the pleating effect will be poor. Furthermore, the fabric may shift during pleating, causing deformation and making it difficult to control the final product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a pleating device for fabric.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A fabric pleating device includes a worktable and a pleating mechanism disposed on the worktable for performing pleating work. The worktable is also provided with a limiting mechanism, which includes mounting brackets symmetrically disposed on the worktable. The mounting brackets are arranged in a "7" shape, and adjusting screws are threaded through the horizontal sections of the mounting brackets. A pressure block is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the adjusting screws. The mounting brackets are movably mounted on the worktable by means of a sliding mechanism, and the sliding mechanism is electrically connected to the pleating mechanism.

[0007] The pleating mechanism includes a first pleating plate and a second pleating plate. The first pleating plate is embedded in the top surface of the workbench. Mounting brackets are provided on both sides of the first pleating plate. The second pleating plate is located above the first pleating plate. A connecting column and a heating module are provided on the top surface of the second pleating plate. A lifting cylinder is also provided on the top surface of the workbench. The piston rod end of the lifting cylinder is vertically upward. A connecting plate is provided on the piston rod end of the lifting cylinder, and the connecting plate is connected to the connecting column.

[0008] The sliding mechanism includes a rotary motor mounted on the side wall of the workbench. A sliding groove is also provided on the top surface of the workbench. The bottom of the vertical section of the mounting bracket is slidably connected to the sliding groove. A lead screw is also provided in the sliding groove. The lead screw moves through the vertical section of the mounting bracket. The two ends of the lead screw rotate on the corresponding side wall of the sliding groove. A lead screw nut is threaded onto the lead screw. The lead screw nut is also connected to the vertical section of the mounting bracket. The electric spindle of the rotary motor extends into the sliding groove and is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw. The rotary motor is also electrically connected to the lifting cylinder.

[0009] The width of the groove is adapted to the width of the vertical section of the mounting bracket.

[0010] The workbench is symmetrically equipped with mounting plates, one on each side of the first pleated plate. One mounting plate houses an infrared sensor transmitter, and the other a receiver. The transmitter and receiver are positioned on the same horizontal line. The infrared light emitted by the transmitter is received by the receiver, which is electrically connected to the sliding mechanism.

[0011] The first pleated plate includes a first substrate and a first pressure plate. The first pressure plate is disposed on the top surface of the first substrate. The top surface of the first pressure plate is provided with a first forming part. A forming groove is formed on the first forming part. The first pressure plate is also provided with a first threaded mounting hole. The first threaded mounting hole is provided on both sides of the first forming part. The first threaded mounting hole is countersunk. The first substrate is provided with a second threaded mounting hole that is adapted to the first threaded mounting hole. A first connecting screw is threaded into the first threaded mounting hole and the second threaded mounting hole.

[0012] The second pleated plate includes a second substrate and a second pressure plate. The second pressure plate is disposed on the bottom surface of the second substrate, and the connecting post and the heating module are disposed on the top surface of the second substrate. An electric heating wire is disposed inside the second substrate and is electrically connected to the heating module. A second forming part is disposed on the bottom surface of the second pressure plate. A forming block is disposed on the second forming part and is adapted to the forming groove. A first mounting light hole is also provided on the second pressure plate. The first mounting light hole is disposed on both sides of the second forming part and is countersunk. A second mounting light hole is disposed on the second substrate and is adapted to the first mounting light hole. A second connecting screw is inserted into the first mounting light hole and the second mounting light hole. The tip of the second connecting screw extends into the second substrate and a locking nut is locked into the tip of the second connecting screw.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention features a limiting mechanism on the worktable. When the worker lays the fabric flat on the worktable, the edge of the fabric is positioned under the pressure block. The worker then rotates the adjusting screw to move the pressure block downwards, pressing down on the fabric edge. A sliding mechanism is then activated to pull the fabric, ensuring it lies completely flat on the worktable. During pleating, the pressure plate effectively prevents fabric displacement. Furthermore, the electrical connection between the sliding mechanism and the pleating mechanism allows the sliding mechanism to control the pressure block to move in a corresponding manner during pleating, preventing damage to the fabric. Compared to existing technologies, this invention ensures effective pleating and guarantees product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a fabric pleating device, including a worktable 1 and a pleating mechanism disposed on the worktable 1 for performing pleating work.

[0023] In this embodiment, the pleating mechanism includes a first pleating plate 5 and a second pleating plate 6. The first pleating plate 5 is embedded in the top surface of the workbench 1, and the second pleating plate 6 is positioned above the first pleating plate 5. A connecting column 7 and a heating module 8 are provided on the top surface of the second pleating plate 6. The connecting column 7 is vertically and fixedly positioned on the top surface of the second pleating plate 6. The heating module 8 can heat the second pleating plate 6 so that the second pleating plate 6 can smoothly perform the required pleating work. A symmetrically arranged lifting cylinder 9 is also provided on the top surface of the workbench 1. The lifting cylinders 9 are distributed on both sides of the first pleating plate 5. The piston rod ends of both lifting cylinders 9 are vertically upward. A horizontally arranged connecting plate 10 is fixedly provided on the piston rod ends of both lifting cylinders 9. The bottom wall of the connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the piston rod ends of both lifting cylinders 9. The bottom wall of the connecting plate 10 is also fixedly connected to the top of the connecting column 7. With the aforementioned configuration, when the lifting cylinder 9 starts working, its piston rod moves, which in turn drives the connecting plate 10 and the connecting column 7 to move, thereby driving the second pleating plate 6 to perform a corresponding lifting motion. This allows the second pleating plate 6 to work in conjunction with the first pleating plate 5 to perform the required pleating work on the fabric laid flat on the first pleating plate 5.

[0024] The workbench 1 is also equipped with a limiting mechanism, which includes mounting brackets 2 symmetrically arranged on the workbench 1. Mounting brackets 2 are located on both sides of the first pleating plate 5, and are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the first pleating plate 5 as the center of symmetry. The mounting brackets 2 are arranged in a "7" shape. An adjusting screw 3 is threaded through the horizontal section of the mounting bracket 2, and the adjusting screw 3 is vertically positioned on the horizontal section. A pressure block 4 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the adjusting screw 3. Each mounting bracket 2 is also movably mounted on the workbench 1 via a sliding mechanism, which is electrically connected to the pleating mechanism. With the aforementioned arrangement, when the fabric is laid flat on the workbench 1, the worker can place the edge of the fabric under the pressure block 4, and then rotate the adjusting screw 3 to move the pressure block 4 downwards, thus pressing down on the edge of the fabric and restricting its movement for subsequent work.

[0025] In this embodiment, the sliding mechanism and the mounting bracket 2 are configured in a one-to-one correspondence. The sliding mechanism includes a rotary motor 11 mounted on the side wall of the worktable 1. Multiple horizontally arranged sliding grooves 12 are also provided on the top surface of the worktable 1. The sliding grooves 12 are configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the mounting bracket 2. The bottom of the vertical section of each mounting bracket 2 is slidably connected to the corresponding side sliding groove 12. A lead screw 13 is also provided in each sliding groove 12. The lead screw 13 movably passes through the vertical section of the mounting bracket 2. Both ends of the lead screw 13 rotate on the corresponding side wall of the sliding groove 12. A lead screw nut 14 is threaded onto the lead screw 13, and the lead screw nut 14 is also connected to the vertical section of the mounting bracket 2. The electric spindle of each rotary motor 11 extends into the corresponding sliding groove 12 and is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 13. The rotary motor 11 is also electrically connected to the lifting cylinder 9. With the aforementioned configuration, when the rotating motor 11 starts working, it can drive the lead screw 13 to rotate, so that the lead screw nut 14 will move accordingly on the lead screw 13, thereby driving the mounting bracket 2 to move accordingly, so as to facilitate subsequent work.

[0026] In this embodiment, the width of the groove 12 is also adapted to the width of the vertical section of the mounting bracket 2, so as to restrict the mounting bracket 2 from rotating around the lead screw 13, so that the mounting bracket 2 can better follow the lead screw nut 14 to make corresponding movements.

[0027] In this embodiment, mounting plates 15 are symmetrically arranged on the workbench 1. Mounting plates 15 are arranged on both sides of the first pleating plate 5. An infrared sensor emitting part 16 is arranged on one side of the mounting plate 15, and an infrared sensor receiving part 17 is arranged on the other side of the mounting plate 15. The infrared sensor emitting part 16 and the infrared sensor receiving part 17 are arranged on the same horizontal line, and the height of the infrared sensor emitting part 16 and the infrared sensor receiving part 17 from the first pleating plate 5 is adapted to the thickness of the fabric. The infrared sensor light emitted by the infrared sensor emitting part 16 can be received by the infrared sensor receiving part 17. The infrared sensor receiving part 17 is also electrically connected to the rotating motor 11.

[0028] In the working principle of this embodiment, during use, the worker lays the fabric flat on the workbench 1, positioning it between the first pleating plate 5 and the second pleating plate 6. The worker then places the edge of the fabric under the pressure block 4 and rotates the adjusting screw 3 to move the pressure block 4 downwards, pressing down on the fabric edge. The infrared sensor transmitter 16 and infrared sensor receiver 17 then begin operation. When the fabric is completely flat on the workbench 1, the infrared rays emitted by the infrared sensor transmitter 16 can be successfully received by the infrared sensor receiver 17. If the fabric is not completely laid flat on the worktable 1, it will wrinkle. In this case, the infrared rays emitted by the infrared sensor transmitter 16 will be blocked by the wrinkled fabric, preventing the infrared sensor receiver 17 from receiving them. The infrared sensor receiver 17 can then control the rotary motor 11 to move the lead screw nut 14 away from the fabric, thus pulling the fabric to lay it completely flat on the worktable 1. Once the infrared sensor receiver 17 can successfully receive the infrared rays, the rotary motor 11 stops working. In actual use, the operator can also manually control the operation of the rotary motor 11 as needed. Afterwards, the staff controls the heating module and lifting cylinder 9 to start working. The heating module heats the second pleating plate 6 to facilitate subsequent pleating work. The lifting cylinder 9 drives the second pleating plate 6 downward, allowing it to work in conjunction with the first pleating plate 5 to pleat the fabric between them. During pleating, the first and second pleating plates 5 and 6 compress the fabric. If the pressure block 4 does not move accordingly, the fabric may be torn. The rotating mechanism, electrically connected to the lifting cylinder 9, drives the lead screw 13 to rotate when the lifting cylinder 9 drives the second pleating plate 6 to compress the fabric. This allows the mounting bracket 2 to move accordingly, ensuring the pressure block 4 moves accordingly to prevent it from tearing the fabric.

[0029] Different pleating patterns on fabric can create different visual experiences to meet consumer demands. Therefore, in actual production, it is often necessary to process multiple different patterns on the same type of fabric. However, the pleating mechanism in Example 1 can only create one pattern. When other patterns are needed, other pleating devices are required, which is not well-suited for small-scale production and significantly increases production costs. Therefore, based on Example 1, Example 2 is proposed.

[0030] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 This embodiment provides a fabric pleating device, including the fabric pleating device provided in Embodiment 1. Further, the first pleating plate 5 includes a first base plate 18 and a first pressure plate 19. The first pressure plate 19 is disposed on the top surface of the first base plate 18. The top surface of the first pressure plate 19 is provided with a first forming part 20. A forming groove 21 is formed on the first forming part 20. The first pressure plate 19 is also provided with a first threaded mounting hole 22. The first threaded mounting hole 22 is provided on both sides of the first forming part 20. The first threaded mounting hole 22 is countersunk. The first base plate 18 is provided with a second threaded mounting hole 23 that is adapted to the first threaded mounting hole 22. A first connecting screw 24 is threaded into the first threaded mounting hole 22 and the second threaded mounting hole 23. The first pressure plate 19 and the first base plate 18 can be detachably connected together by threading the first connecting screw 24 into the first threaded mounting hole 22 and the second threaded mounting hole 23.

[0031] The second pleating plate 6 includes a second base plate 25 and a second pressure plate 26. The second pressure plate 26 is disposed on the bottom surface of the second base plate 25 and is movably embedded in the worktable 1 to facilitate subsequent disassembly. The connecting column 7 and the heating module 8 are both disposed on the top surface of the second base plate 25. An electric heating wire 27 is disposed inside the second base plate 25 and is electrically connected to the heating module 8. A second forming part 28 is disposed on the bottom surface of the second pressure plate 26. A forming block 29 is disposed on the second forming part 28 and is adapted to the forming groove 21. The forming block 29 cooperates with the forming groove 21 to press out the required texture on the fabric. The second pressure plate 26 is also provided with a first mounting hole 30, which is provided on both sides of the second forming part 28. The first mounting hole 30 is countersunk. The second substrate 25 is provided with a second mounting hole 31 that is adapted to the first mounting hole 30. A second connecting screw 32 is inserted into the first mounting hole 30 and the second mounting hole 31. The tip of the second connecting screw 32 extends into the second substrate 25. A locking nut 33 is also locked into the tip of the second connecting screw 32. The second pressure plate 26 and the second substrate 25 can be detachably connected together by inserting the second connecting screw 32 into the first mounting hole 30 and the second mounting hole 31 and locking the locking nut 33.

[0032] With the aforementioned configuration, during the pleating process, the heating module 8 heats the heating wire 27 to heat the second pressure plate 26, and the forming block 29, in conjunction with the forming groove 21, can press out corresponding textures on the fabric. By setting the first threaded mounting hole 22 and the first mounting light hole 30 as countersunk structures, collisions between the first connecting screw 24 and the second connecting screw 32 during the pleating process can be avoided. The first forming part 20 and the second forming part 28 are the effective parts for pleating. By placing the first threaded mounting hole 22 on both sides of the first forming part 20 and the first mounting light hole 30 on both sides of the second forming part 28, interference from these holes in the pleating process can be avoided. When it is necessary to press other textures on the fabric, the first pressure plate 19 can be removed from the first base plate 18 by removing the first connecting screw 24 from the first threaded mounting hole 22 and the second threaded mounting hole 23, and the first pressure plate 19 with the desired shape forming groove 21 can be replaced. The second pressure plate 26 can be removed from the second base plate 25 by removing the locking nut 33 from the second connecting screw 32 and then removing the second connecting screw 32 from the first mounting light hole 30 and the second mounting light hole 31, and the second pressure plate 26 with the desired shape forming block 29 can be replaced. At this time, the first pressure plate 19 and the second pressure plate 26 can press the desired texture on the fabric.

[0033] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
