[0023] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are used merely to distinguish one component from another that has the same name, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between the components.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] like Figs. 1 to 2 The invention relates to a novel curtain pleating machine, comprising a machine base 1, a sewing machine 2 mounted on the machine base 1, and a pleating device mounted on the machine base 1 and located to one side of the sewing machine 2. An adsorption device adapted to the pleating device is provided below the machine base 1. The pleating device includes a mounting frame 3 fixed on the machine base 1, two corresponding upper and lower sleeve plates 4 mounted on one end of the mounting frame 3 to form a pleating space, a pleating plate 5 mounted on the other end of the mounting frame 3 and matching the sleeve plates 4, and a first motor 6 and a second motor 7 that drive the sleeve plates 4 and the pleating plate 5 to move closer or further apart. The machine can precisely control the distance and speed at which the two move closer or further apart synchronously along a track, enabling precise pleating of curtains of different thicknesses and materials. This avoids problems such as inconsistent pleat size and looseness, ensuring stable pleat shape and greatly improving the aesthetics and finished product quality of the curtains. The adsorption device includes through holes 8 evenly distributed on the sleeve plate 4, a fan 9 located below the machine base 1, a suction cup 10 located inside the sleeve plate 4, and a connecting pipe 21 connecting the fan 9 and the suction cup 10. When the fan 9 is started, the suction cup 10 adsorbs the curtain onto the sleeve plate 4 through the evenly distributed through holes 8. On the one hand, this solves the problem of fabric displacement and slippage during pleating, ensuring accurate pleating position and further improving pleating precision. On the other hand, for some special fabrics with smooth surfaces that are difficult to fix, the adsorption device can provide a reliable fixing effect, expanding the range of fabrics that the machine can handle. In addition, the adsorption function can keep the fabric flat during pleating, avoiding fabric deformation caused by uneven tension during pleating, and ensuring the high quality of the finished curtain.

[0026] The pleating device further comprises a caliper 11 arranged above the sleeve plate 4 and a third motor 12 driving the caliper 11 away from or close to the sleeve plate 4, which can be flexibly driven along the track to be close to or away from the sleeve plate 4 under the driving of the third motor 12, so that the size of the pleat width can be accurately measured and adjusted in real time during the pleating of the curtain. For example, when producing curtains of different styles, the position of the caliper 11 can be controlled by the third motor 12 to accurately set the pleat width, ensuring that the width of each pleat meets the design requirements, improving the precision and quality of pleating, and making the appearance of the curtain more beautiful and neat.

[0027] The machine table 1 is also provided with a clamping device, which comprises a needle 13 arranged on one side of the sewing machine 2 and a pressing plate 14 and a clamping plate 15 arranged in the pleating area. The sleeve plate 4 and the pleating plate 5 are also provided with grooves 16 matched with the needle 13, providing multi-directional fixing protection for curtain pleating. After the sleeve plate 4 and the pleating plate 5 are close to each other along the track for pleating operation, the pressing plate 14 and the clamping plate 15 can quickly fix the curtain to prevent it from moving randomly on the machine table 1, ensuring good pleating effect. The needle 13 is then inserted into the grooves 16 matched with the sleeve plate 4 and the pleating plate 5 to form a positioning point, further stabilizing the pleated curtain, avoiding pleat dislocation or deformation caused by subsequent operation, and greatly improving the stability of pleating and the quality of finished products. The clamping device composed of the needle 13, the pressing plate 14 and the clamping plate 15 is simple and intuitive to operate, and workers can easily master it in actual production. In the connection between the sewing process and the pleating process of the sewing machine 2, this device can quickly fix the pleated curtain, facilitating subsequent sewing and reinforcement, improving the coherence and efficiency of the entire production process, reducing time loss between production links, and helping enterprises to improve productivity and reduce production cost.

[0028] The thickness of the pleating plate 5 is 0.7 times the height of the pleating area between the two sleeve plates 4, so that when the pleating plate 5 is inserted into the pleating area between the two sleeve plates 4, it can form a just-right extrusion effect. The appropriate thickness ratio reduces the resistance of the pleating plate 5 when it is inserted into and withdrawn from the pleating area. The moderate thickness of the pleating plate 5 enables it to operate more smoothly during the process of being driven by the first motor 6 and the second motor 7 to be close to or away from the sleeve plate 4, reducing the possibility of jamming or sticking due to inappropriate thickness, improving the running stability and reliability of the pleating equipment, and reducing the wear and tear of the equipment, prolonging the service life of the equipment.

[0029] The connecting pipe 21 is a rubber material hose, which can adapt to a certain degree of deformation and displacement, can effectively buffer the vibration and impact force in the equipment operation process, and can reduce the damage of the components caused by rigid connection. The hose is provided with a fixing assembly, the fixing assembly sequentially includes a fixing pipe 17 connected with the extension, a first sleeve pipe 18 and a second sleeve pipe 19, which can stably support the connecting pipe 21 of the hose, prevent the connecting pipe 21 from loosening and displacement caused by air flow impact or vibration during the operation of the fan 9, ensure the stability of the air flow transmission in the suction device, and further ensure the stable and reliable adsorption effect of the suction cup 10 on the curtain through the through hole 8, which is beneficial to improve the firmness of the curtain during the pleating process. The fixing pipe 17, the first sleeve pipe 18 and the second sleeve pipe 19 are connected through the rotating elbow 20 respectively, so that the connecting pipe 21 can rotate and adjust the angle according to the displacement distance when it moves with the sleeve plate 4, which can prevent the connecting pipe 21 from being pulled and damaged, and can affect the working efficiency.

[0030] Embodiment 2:

[0031] The embodiment 2 is basically the same as the embodiment 1, and the only difference is that the connecting pipe 21 shown in the embodiment 2 is a metal material. Fig. 3 The metal material connecting pipe 21 generally has high strength and hardness, can withstand large pressure and tension, is not easy to deform or damage, and is connected through a metal rotating head, so that the connecting pipe 21 can flexibly rotate within a certain range.

[0032] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. The skilled in the art can make common changes and replacements within the technical scheme of the present application, which should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
