Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bra production equipment, and in particular to a cotton cup clamping device. [Background Technology]
[0002] As a woman's intimate garment, a bra typically consists of a bra cup, shoulder straps, clasp, and support structure. Its main function is to provide the necessary support and shaping for the breasts, reducing the burden on the neck, back, and shoulders, and preventing sagging and unnecessary discomfort.
[0003] Bras with cotton cups typically consist of fabric cups and cotton cups, with the cotton cups housed within the fabric cups. During production, the fabric cups have a pre-drilled opening to insert the cotton cups. Traditionally, this is done manually, with workers holding both the cotton and fabric cups, making it difficult to insert the cotton cups quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, because the cotton cups need to be inserted into the fabric cups, the opening needs to be relatively large; otherwise, it's difficult to insert them quickly. However, if the opening is too large, the cotton cups may fall out during later processes.
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is proposed in this study. [Utility Model Content]
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cotton cup clamping device to solve at least one of the above-mentioned problems. This utility model sets up a workbench and a cup clamping component on the workbench to hold the cotton cup. After the cotton cup is held, the bra only needs to be picked up by a person or a robot to move the opening of the bra cup cavity toward the clamping part in the cup clamping component so that the cotton cup is inserted into the bra cup cavity. After that, the cup clamping component releases the cotton cup to complete the assembly of the cotton cup. This can reduce the difficulty of the work of the workers and improve the work efficiency.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a cotton cup clamping device, including a workbench 1. The workbench 1 is provided with a cup clamping assembly 2, which can be used to clamp the cotton cup to facilitate the insertion of the cotton cup into the cup cavity of the bra, and can release the clamped cotton cup to release it into the cup cavity of the bra. The cup clamping assembly 2 includes a lower clamping plate 20 fixed on the workbench 1 and an upper clamping plate 21 that clamps and cooperates with the lower clamping plate 20. The front parts of the upper clamping plate 21 and the lower clamping plate 20 are used to clamp the cotton cup to form a clamping part 22. The workbench 1 is also provided with a driving member 5 for driving the upper clamping plate 21 and the lower clamping plate 20 to move closer or separate to clamp or release the cotton cup.
[0007] As described above, in a cotton cup clamping device, the clamping surface of the lower clamping plate 20 at the clamping part 22 is a plane, the upper clamping plate 21 at the clamping part 22 is elastic, and the shape of the upper clamping plate 21 at the clamping part 22 is an arc that gradually approaches the lower clamping plate 20 from the inside out. After the clamping part 22 clamps the cotton cup, the upper clamping plate 21 and the lower clamping plate 20 at the clamping part 22 can respectively adhere to the cotton cup.
[0008] As described above, a cotton cup clamping device has an air pipe 3 on the upper clamping plate 21 for inflating the cup cavity of the bra and flattening the two sides of the cotton cup that are clamped by the clamping part 22 so as to release the cotton cup flat into the cup cavity of the bra. The air inlet 30 of the air pipe 3 is located at the position of the clamping part 22.
[0009] As described above, a cotton cup clamping device has two air pipes 3, which are spaced apart along the length of the upper clamping plate 21, and the air outlet 30 of the air pipe 3 is located on the outer surface of the air pipe 3.
[0010] As described above, a cotton cup clamping device has a connecting plate 23 between the ends of the upper clamping plate 21 and the lower clamping plate 20, and the upper clamping plate 21, the lower clamping plate 20 and the connecting plate 23 are integrally formed into a duckbill shape.
[0011] In the cotton cup clamping device described above, the front end of the lower clamping plate 20 extends beyond the upper clamping plate 21 to form a positioning part 24 that facilitates the insertion of the cotton cup into the clamping part 22.
[0012] In the cotton cup clamping device described above, the widths of the upper clamping plate 21 and the lower clamping plate 20 located at the clamping part 22 gradually decrease from the inside to the outside.
[0013] As described above, in a cotton cup clamping device, the cup clamping assembly 2 is located on the front end of the workbench 1, and the clamping part 22 extends out of the front end of the workbench. The rear part of the lower clamping plate 20 is fixed on the front end of the workbench 1. The driving component 5 is a cylinder, which is fixed at the bottom of the lower clamping plate 20 at the rear of the clamping part 22. The piston rod of the cylinder passes through the lower clamping plate 20 and is connected to the upper clamping plate 21.
[0014] As described above, a cotton cup clamping device has a tray 6 on the front end of the worktable 1, which is located below the cup clamping assembly 2.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the cotton cup clamping device of this utility model has the following advantages:
[0016] 1. This application, by setting a cup clamping component on the workbench to hold the cotton cup, makes it easier to insert the cotton cup into the cup cavity of the bra. Compared with the traditional method of directly inserting the cotton cup into the cup cavity of the bra by hand, it is more efficient, which can reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve the company's production efficiency.
[0017] 2. Because the cotton cup itself is concave, after the clamping part holds the cotton cup, the two sides of the cotton cup will tilt upwards. After the horizontal width of the cotton cup becomes smaller, it is easier for the staff to insert the cotton cup into the cup cavity of the bra. This eliminates the need to make the opening of the bra cup cavity too large in order to make it easier to insert the cotton cup into the bra cup cavity, which would cause the cotton cup to fall off in the subsequent production process.

Detailed Implementation Methods
[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model includes a cotton cup clamping device, including a workbench 1. The workbench 1 is provided with a cup clamping assembly 2, which can be used to clamp the cotton cup to facilitate the insertion of the cotton cup into the cup cavity of the bra, and can release the clamped cotton cup to release it into the cup cavity of the bra. The cup clamping assembly 2 includes a lower clamping plate 20 fixed on the workbench 1 and an upper clamping plate 21 that clamps and cooperates with the lower clamping plate 20. The front parts of the upper clamping plate 21 and the lower clamping plate 20 are used to clamp the cotton cup to form a clamping part 22. The workbench 1 is also provided with a driving member 5 for driving the upper clamping plate 21 and the lower clamping plate 20 to move closer or separate to clamp or release the cotton cup.
[0028] During operation, a worker or robotic arm places the cotton cup into the clamping part 22 of the cup clamping assembly 2. The drive unit 5 drives the upper clamping plate 21 and the lower clamping plate 20 to clamp the cotton cup. Then, the worker or robotic arm picks up the bra, moving the opening of the bra's cup cavity toward the clamping part 22 until the cotton cup is inserted into the bra's cup cavity. Subsequently, the drive unit 5 drives the cup clamping assembly 2 to release the cotton cup, and the worker or robotic arm then removes the bra and cotton cup together and places them in the next process. It should be noted that because the cotton cup itself is concave, after the clamping part 22 clamps the cotton cup, the two sides of the cotton cup will tilt upwards, thus reducing the lateral width of the cotton cup, making it easier to insert into the bra's cup cavity.
[0029] This application, by setting a cup-clamping component 2 on the workbench 1 to hold the cotton cup, facilitates the insertion of the cotton cup into the bra's cup cavity. This is more efficient than the traditional method of manually inserting the cotton cup into the bra's cup cavity, reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving the company's production efficiency. In addition, because the cotton cup itself has a concave shape, after the clamping part 22 clamps the cotton cup, the two sides of the cotton cup will tilt upwards, reducing the lateral width of the cotton cup. This further facilitates the worker to insert the cotton cup into the bra's cup cavity, eliminating the need to make the opening of the bra's cup cavity too large to facilitate insertion, thus preventing the cotton cup from falling off in subsequent production stages.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, as a further embodiment of this utility model, in order to further clamp the cotton cup and prevent it from sliding in the clamping part 22 under force when the cotton cup is being filled, the clamping surface of the lower clamping plate 20 at the clamping part 22 is set as a plane, and the upper clamping plate 21 at the clamping part 22 is elastic, and the shape of the upper clamping plate 21 at the clamping part 22 is an arc that gradually approaches the lower clamping plate 20 from the inside out. After the clamping part 22 clamps the cotton cup, the upper clamping plate 21 and the lower clamping plate 20 at the clamping part 22 can respectively adhere to the cotton cup. With the above configuration, after the clamping part 22 clamps the cotton cup, since the clamping surface of the lower clamping plate 20 is a plane, it can contact the cotton cup with a larger area, and the clamping can be more stable. Of course, since the upper clamping plate 21 is elastic, after the upper clamping plate 21 is deformed, the clamping surface is also a plane.
[0031] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, as a further embodiment of this invention, to facilitate the insertion of the cotton cup into the bra's cup cavity, an air tube 3 is provided on the upper clamping plate 21 for inflating the bra's cup cavity and flattening the sides of the cotton cup that are clamped by the clamping part 22, so that the cotton cup can be released flatly into the bra's cup cavity. The air inlet 30 of the air tube 3 is located at the position of the clamping part 22. After the cotton cup is inserted into the bra's cup cavity, air is blown through the air tube 3, which inflates the bra's cup cavity. At the same time, since the air tube 3 is located on the upper clamping plate 21, the sides of the cotton cup are also tilted upwards. The continuous air output from the air tube 3 will also flatten the cotton cup to the sides, making it easier to release the cotton cup flatly into the bra's cup cavity.
[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, as a further embodiment of this invention, to enable the air tube 3 to blow air more smoothly and to better flatten the sides of the cotton cup, two air tubes 3 are provided, and the two air tubes 3 are spaced apart along the length of the upper clamping plate 21, with the air outlet 30 of the air tube 3 located on its outer surface. Positioning the air outlet 30 on the outer surface of the air tube 3 allows it to face the raised sides of the cotton cup, thus more effectively flattening the raised areas. Furthermore, multiple air outlets 30 can be provided along the length of the air tube 3.
[0033] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, as a further embodiment of this utility model, in order to improve the stability of clamping and facilitate the insertion of the clamping part 22 into the cup cavity of the bra, a connecting plate 23 is provided between the ends of the upper clamping plate 21 and the lower clamping plate 20 to connect the two. The upper clamping plate 21, the lower clamping plate 20, and the connecting plate 23 are integrally formed into a duckbill shape. By setting the connecting plate 23 to connect the upper clamping plate 21 and the lower clamping plate 20 into one piece, the clamping is more stable, and the one-piece design facilitates production and reduces the difficulty of later assembly. The duckbill shape of the upper clamping plate 21, the lower clamping plate 20, and the connecting plate 23 makes it easy to insert into the cup cavity of the bra.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, as a further embodiment of this invention, to facilitate the insertion of the cotton cup into the clamping part 22, the front end of the lower clamping plate 20 is designed to extend beyond the upper clamping plate 21 to form a positioning part 24 that facilitates the insertion of the cotton cup into the clamping part 22. When inserting the cotton cup, the worker can directly place the cotton cup onto the positioning part 24 for positioning, and then push the entire cotton cup forward into the clamping part 22, where the clamping part 22 will clamp the cotton cup securely.
[0035] like Figure 5As shown, as a further embodiment of the present invention, in order to allow the clamping part 22 to be inserted into the cup cavity of the bra more smoothly and to allow the clamping part 22 to be detached from the cup cavity of the bra more smoothly, the width of the upper clamping plate 21 and the lower clamping plate 20 located at the position of the clamping part 22 is set to gradually decrease from the inside to the outside.
[0036] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, as a further embodiment of this utility model, to facilitate the installation of the cup clamping assembly 2, the cup clamping assembly 2 is positioned on the front end of the workbench 1, with the clamping part 22 extending beyond the front end of the workbench. The rear part of the lower clamping plate 20 is fixed to the front end of the workbench 1. The driving component 5 is a cylinder, which is fixed to the bottom of the lower clamping plate 20 at the rear of the clamping part 22, and the piston rod of the cylinder passes through the lower clamping plate 20 and connects to the upper clamping plate 21. When clamping the cotton cup, the cylinder drives the piston rod to move, which in turn moves the upper clamping plate 21, thus clamping the cotton cup. When installing the cup clamping assembly 2, the rear part of the lower clamping plate 20 is fixed to the workbench 1 with bolts, and then the cylinder is fixed to the bottom of the lower clamping plate 20. It should be noted that the driving component 5 can also be other components that can drive the upper clamping plate 21 to move, such as a hydraulic cylinder, an electric actuator, etc.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, as a further embodiment of this utility model, to facilitate the work of the staff, a support plate 6 is provided on the front end of the workbench 1, and the support plate 6 is located below the cup clamping assembly 2. The support plate 6 provides some support for the staff's hands during work. In addition, the front end of the support plate 6 can be bent downwards, providing some protection and preventing the staff from directly bumping into the front end of the support plate 6.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model also provides a cotton cup assembly method, using the cotton cup clamping device described above, including the following steps:
[0039] S1. The cotton cup is placed into the clamping part 22 of the cup clamping assembly 2 by the staff or the robotic arm.
[0040] S2, the pneumatic drive component 5 clamps the cup clamping assembly 2 to secure the cotton cup.
[0041] S3. The staff or robotic arm inserts the opening of the bra cup cavity into the clamping part 22, so that the cotton cup is located in the bra cup cavity.
[0042] S4 and trachea 3 blow air to inflate the bra cups and flatten the clamped cotton cups.
[0043] S5. The cup clamping component 2 releases the cotton cup, and the staff or robotic arm separates the entire bra body from the cup clamping component 2 to complete the assembly.
[0044] This invention inserts cotton cups into the bra cup cavity using the above method, which is more efficient than the traditional method of manually inserting cotton cups into the bra cup cavity. This reduces the labor intensity of workers and improves the company's production efficiency.
