Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bag opening machine technology, and relates to a folding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A pocket opening machine is a special sewing machine for sewing the opening of pockets in clothing. When the pocket opening machine is working, it first cuts a "I" shaped pocket seam on the surface of the fabric, and then folds and clamps the free fabric on both sides of the pocket seam through the folding mechanism for subsequent sewing to form a pocket.

[0003] For example, patent application publication number CN117966377A discloses a bag opening machine and a bag opening sewing process. The bag opening machine is equipped with a worktable, a sewing device, a laser cutting device, a bag opening forming device, and an accessory carrying device. The bag opening forming device includes a folding mechanism and a material fixing mechanism. The folding mechanism is located above the material fixing mechanism, and the bag opening forming device can move on the worktable. The bag opening sewing process involves positioning the bag opening fabric piece on the bag opening forming device and sequentially performing steps such as cutting, folding, attaching accessories, sewing, and unloading.

[0004] The aforementioned pocket-opening machine can fold the fabric through the insertion of a blade, and then use the upward swing of the folding edge pressure plate at the bottom of the outer pressure frame to clamp the fabric with the lower side of the blade exposed, so as to hold the fabric in place for subsequent sewing. However, there are still shortcomings: the folded edge of the lower side of the blade covers most of the folded fabric, and the folding edge pressure plate can only position a small area of ​​the outer edge of the fabric. The fabric is prone to deformation and repositioning during subsequent sewing, resulting in uneven sewing and affecting the appearance of the sewing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model addresses the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by providing a folding mechanism for a bag opening machine. The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that the folding and sewing effect of existing bag opening machines is not uniform.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A folding mechanism for a bag-opening machine, the bag-opening machine including a worktable, the folding mechanism including a pressure frame seat and a folding knife both connected to the worktable, the pressure frame seat being horizontally plate-shaped and having a bag-opening window, the folding knife being able to move up and down and forward and backward, the lower side of the folding knife being horizontally bent into an L-shape to form a flange, and a partially fixed elastic pressure plate arranged horizontally on the pressure frame seat below the pressure frame seat, the side of the elastic pressure plate located around the bag-opening window being able to swing downward, characterized in that the flange has a plurality of spaced strip-shaped first comb teeth, the side of the elastic pressure plate near the bag-opening window having a plurality of spaced strip-shaped second comb teeth, the second comb teeth being arranged towards the side where the bag-opening window is located, and when the flange moves to the second comb teeth, each first comb tooth is in a position directly opposite the tooth gap of two adjacent second comb teeth.

[0008] The pressure frame is used to support and clamp the fabric of the pocket to be opened, facilitating precise cutting, folding, and sewing operations. After the fabric at the pocket opening window is cut, an "I"-shaped cut slit will be formed on the surface. Then, the folding knife can be inserted downwards into the cut slit. By moving the folding knife back and forth, part of the movable fabric at the cut slit can be folded over to the lower side of the pressure frame around the pocket opening window through the upper surface of the folding part. Then, by releasing the pre-opened downward elastic pressure plate, it deforms and returns to its original shape upwards to clamp the edge of the folded movable fabric, so that the fabric continues to maintain the folded state after the folding knife is removed. By setting multiple first comb teeth arranged at left and right intervals in the folding part, and setting second comb teeth arranged at left and right intervals on the side of the elastic pressure plate near the pocket opening window, when the first comb teeth move to the second comb teeth during the folding process, they are all vertically aligned with the gaps of the adjacent second comb teeth. The folding knife, inserted into the pocket opening window, moves towards the inner wall of the opening window in a front-to-back direction to fold the fabric edge. The upper side of the first comb tooth supports the fabric edge and folds it to the lower surface of the pressure frame. When the elastic pressure plate is reset, the second comb tooth swings upward and can pass through and fall into the gap between the first comb teeth. At this time, the upper side of the second comb tooth simultaneously presses down on the fabric edge. Because the first comb tooth provides clearance, the second comb tooth can support a deeper area of ​​fabric, thus effectively preventing the fabric from losing its restraint and wrinkling or rebounding. When the first comb tooth retracts, it can first move downward to pass through the gap between the second comb teeth, then move back and forth and retract upward to exit from the pocket opening window to achieve reset. Thus, without affecting the normal reset of the folding knife, it can effectively improve the clamping stability of the fabric during the folding process and ensure a neater sewing effect.

[0009] In the folding mechanism of the bag opening machine, the tip of the second comb tooth is inclined upward. When the elastic pressing plate swings upward after deformation, the tip of the second comb tooth can first contact the fabric at the root of the first comb tooth, and gradually press the fabric toward the root of the second comb tooth during the pressing process. That is, the second comb tooth can gradually flatten the fabric outward during pressing, making the fabric more flat and facilitating further sewing to make the subsequent sewing effect more uniform.

[0010] In the folding mechanism of the bag opening machine, the elastic pressing plate is arranged on both sides of the bag opening window. The two elastic pressing plates can independently clamp and control the fabric folded at the front and rear of the bag opening window, and can be applied to a single folding knife. Compared with a single elastic pressing plate, the swinging range of the second comb tooth is uniform, and the second comb tooth far from the elastic pressing plate cannot be clamped due to excessive deflection.

[0011] In the folding mechanism of the bag opening machine, the elastic pressing plate and the second comb tooth are integrated. This can ensure the stability of the connection of the overall structure and avoid cracking of the second comb tooth.

[0012] As another solution, the pressing frame seat includes a seat plate and two slidingly connected stop positioning plates. The bag opening window is formed between the two stop positioning plates. The second comb tooth is fixed to the side of the elastic pressing plate, and the second comb tooth abuts against or leaves a gap with the upper stop positioning plate. This arrangement allows the second comb tooth and the elastic pressing plate to be made of different materials, which can make the elastic pressing plate have better strength and elasticity, and the second comb tooth have better flexibility. When the second comb tooth contacts the fabric, all the second comb teeth can adaptively deform to maintain the clamping effect even if the surface of the fabric is uneven.

[0013] In the folding mechanism of the bag opening machine, the vertical thickness of the second comb tooth is smaller than the vertical thickness of the elastic pressing plate. This can make the second comb tooth have better flexibility relative to the elastic pressing plate, maintain the reset performance, and clamp the fabric more fully.

[0014] In the folding mechanism of the bag opening machine, the length of the second comb tooth in the front-rear direction is greater than the length of the first comb tooth in the front-rear direction. This can ensure that the second comb teeth have sufficient clearance, and the second comb teeth can more easily contact the fabric and deform adaptively to ensure clamping sufficiency.

[0015] In the folding mechanism of the bag opening machine, the upper side edges of the tips of the first comb teeth are chamfered. When the first comb teeth push the fabric to bend, the upper side edges will not pierce into the fabric, avoiding damage or even tearing of the fabric.

[0016] In the folding mechanism of the aforementioned bag-opening machine, the dimension of the first comb tooth in the front-to-back direction is slightly smaller than or equal to the dimension of the folded portion in the front-to-back direction. This allows the root of the first comb tooth to be closer to the point where the fabric begins to fold, thus facilitating the second comb tooth's end to support the fabric at a deeper position. This ensures a more stable folding state for the fabric.

[0017] In the folding mechanism of the bag opening machine described above, the root of the first comb tooth is bent vertically upwards in an L-shape. In this way, the root of the first comb tooth can still form a certain height clearance space in the vertical direction, so that the end of the second comb tooth will not cause rigid interference with the folding part due to the length of the first comb tooth being too short when it is reset and clamped.

[0018] In the folding mechanism of the bag opening machine described above, the root of the second comb tooth is rounded. This helps to prevent stress concentration at the root of the second comb tooth during repeated deformation, which could lead to cracking and ensure service life.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] After the folding blade retracts, the folding mechanism of this pocket opening machine can clamp the bent fabric edge over a larger area, which helps to fully ensure the stability of the fabric state during subsequent sewing and thus improves the sewing quality. Attached Figure Description
