Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of the garment industry, to loading and unloading mechanisms, and particularly to a loading and unloading mechanism for use in the garment industry. Background Technology

[0002] The apparel industry refers to the industry that uses the human body as a carrier to design, manufacture, and sell clothing products to meet people's clothing needs, aesthetic needs, and socio-cultural needs.

[0003] For example, the patent with authorization announcement number CN221939500U provides an automatic loading and unloading mechanism for a garment template machine, which is equipped with two sets of clamping plates. Each set of clamping plates has two clamping plates. The clamping plates clamp the fabric at the upper and lower positions on one side. The distance between the two clamping plates in the set of clamping plates is controlled by a cylinder hole. The distance between the two sets of clamping plates is adjusted by a bidirectional screw, and the screw controls the lifting and lowering of the two sets of clamping plates relative to the placement plate.

[0004] In practice, the specific operating steps are as follows:

[0005] Step 1: The two sets of clamping plates are in the feeding position and waiting. The fabric is conveyed laterally to the two clamping plates of the two sets of clamping plates;

[0006] Step 2: The clamping plate clamps the fabric via a cylinder.

[0007] Step 3: Drive the two sets of clamping plates to move above the placement plate using a two-way lead screw;

[0008] Step 4: Control the two sets of clamping plates to move down and get closer to the placement plate using the lead screw until the fabric is in contact with the placement plate;

[0009] Step 5: Use a cylinder to drive the clamping plate to release the fabric;

[0010] Step Six: Control the two sets of clamping plates upwards and away from the placement plate using the lead screw;

[0011] Step 7: Drive the two sets of clamping plates horizontally to the feeding position in Step 1 by using a two-way lead screw.

[0012] During the loading and unloading operation, the clamping plate needs at least seven steps to clamp the fabric conveyor until it returns to the feeding position. The numerous operation steps result in low efficiency in loading and unloading. Utility Model Content

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0035] This embodiment mainly describes a loading and unloading mechanism for the garment industry that can effectively improve work efficiency, as detailed below:

[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a loading and unloading mechanism for the garment industry includes a workbench 1, a material assembly station 2 and a processing station 3 arranged side by side on the workbench 1, a fabric loading bin 4 located on the side plate of the material assembly station 2, a finished product unloading bin 5 located on the side of the processing station 3, and loading grippers 6a and unloading grippers 6b that can be slidably or rotatably adjusted.

[0037] Preferably, the feeding gripper 6a is adjusted above the fabric feeding bin 4, the assembly station 2, and the finishing station 3, while the unloading gripper 6b is adjusted above the finishing station 3 and the finished product unloading bin 5.

[0038] Multiple sets of fabric feeding bins 4 and finished product unloading bins 5 are set up, and the fabric feeding bins 4 and finished product unloading bins 5 can be raised and lowered. The workbench 1 is equipped with sensor 1 and sensor 2. Sensor 1 can control the raising and lowering height of fabric feeding bin 4 and adjust the height of the upper end face of fabric in fabric feeding bin 4 relative to the upper end face of assembly station 2. Sensor 2 can control the raising and lowering height of finished product unloading bin 5 and adjust the height of the upper end face of finished product in finished product unloading bin 5 relative to the upper end face of processing station 3, so that the feeding gripper 6a can be horizontally conveyed to the top of fabric feeding bin 4 and the unloading gripper 6b can be horizontally conveyed to the top of finished product unloading bin 5.

[0039] In this application, by adjusting the vertical hopper used to hold fabric or finished products, the loading gripper 6a or unloading gripper 6b only needs to perform four steps—clamping, horizontal or rotating conveying, releasing, and resetting—when clamping and conveying fabric or finished products, through sliding or rotating adjustment. This effectively reduces the number of operation steps and thus improves work efficiency.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the workbench 1 is equipped with a first track 7 and a second track 8. The second track 8 is installed on the first track 7. The first track 7 is connected to the loading gripper 6a. Through accessories such as cylinders, lead screws, or chains, the loading gripper 6a can move horizontally or vertically relative to the first track 7. The second track 8 is connected to the unloading gripper 6b. Through accessories such as cylinders, lead screws, or chains, the unloading gripper 6b can move horizontally or vertically relative to the second track 8.

[0041] In this embodiment, the loading gripper 6a or unloading gripper 6b includes a movably mounted connecting rod 61. The loading gripper 6a is slidably connected to the truss 12 via the connecting rod 61, and the truss 12 is slidably mounted on the track 7. The sliding can be achieved by accessories such as cylinders or lead screws. The connecting rod 61 of the unloading gripper 6b is connected to accessories such as conveyor belts or conveyor chains in the track 8, so as to realize the lifting and lowering adjustment of the connecting rod 61 of the unloading gripper 6b. A connecting plate 62 is installed at the lower end of the connecting rod 61. The connecting plate 62 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 61. The rotation angle is controlled by the motor 13 to realize the rotation clamping adjustment. At least two clamps 63 are slidably mounted on the connecting plate 62. In order to clamp fabrics or finished products of different sizes, the distance or position of the two clamps 63 on the connecting plate 62 is adjustable.

[0042] A processing head 9 is provided above the processing station 3. The processing head 9 can be raised and lowered by a cylinder, and the cylinder is fixed on the second track 8.

[0043] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the fabric feeding bin 4 is provided with a fabric feeding position 4a and a working feeding position 4b. The assembly station 2 is located between the fabric feeding bin 4 at the working feeding position 4b and the processing station 3. The feeding gripper 6a is movable and adjustable above the fabric feeding bin 4 at the working feeding position 4b, the assembly station 2, and the processing station 3. The fabric feeding bin 4 at the fabric feeding position 4a can be conveniently placed into the fabric feeding bin 4 manually or by equipment.

[0044] The finished product unloading bin 5 is equipped with a finished product working position 5a and a finished product unloading position 5b. The processing station 3 is located between the material assembly station 2 and the finished product unloading bin 5 at the finished product working position 5a. The unloading gripper 6b is movable and adjustable above the finished product unloading bin 5 at the processing station 3 and the finished product working position 5a. The finished product unloading bin 5 at the finished product unloading position 5b can be easily removed manually or by equipment.

[0045] Sensor 1 senses the height of the material feeding hopper 4 at the working feeding position 4b, and sensor 2 senses the height of the finished product unloading hopper 5 at the finished product working position 5a. The height adjustment of the material feeding hopper 4 at the working feeding position 4b and the finished product unloading hopper 5 at the finished product working position 5a can be achieved through accessories such as cylinders.

[0046] The fabric loading bins 4 at the fabric loading position 4a and the working loading position 4b, and the finished product unloading bins 5 at the finished product working position 5a and the finished product unloading position 5b can be rotated to change positions. There is a positioning shaft 10 that is stationary, and a rotating shaft 11 that can drive the fabric loading bin 4 or the finished product unloading bin 5 to rotate. The rotating shaft 11 and the fabric loading bin 4 or the finished product unloading bin 5 are hooked together by the cooperation between the slot and the protrusion. The positioning shaft 10 is located above the rotating shaft 11. The positioning shaft 10 can prevent the fabric loading bin 4 or the finished product unloading bin 5 from tipping over. The positioning shaft 10 is provided with a vertical groove 10a facing the assembly position 2 or the processing position 3. When the cylinder controls the lifting and lowering of the fabric loading bin 4 or the finished product unloading bin 5, the hooking structure between the rotating shaft 11 and the fabric loading bin 4 or the finished product unloading bin 5 can be disengaged by the cylinder lifting and lowering within the vertical groove 10a.

[0047] In other embodiments, multiple sets of fabric loading bins 4 and finished product unloading bins 5 can be moved up or down or repositioned in a plane using accessories such as conveyor belts and conveyor chains.

[0048] In actual use, the feeding gripper 6a uses the chuck 63 to grip the fabric in the fabric feeding bin 4 at the working feeding position 4b, and rotates it under the control of the motor 13 to transport the gripped fabric to the top of the assembly station 2. The chuck 63 is released to allow the fabric to be placed on the assembly station 2. When the finished product to be processed involves multiple fabrics, different fabrics can be placed on different fabric feeding bins 4, and then the fabric feeding bins 4 can be transported to the working feeding position 4b by rotating the rotating shaft, so that the feeding gripper 6a can grip different fabrics to the assembly station 2.

[0049] After several pieces of fabric are stacked on the assembly station 2, the loading gripper 6a grabs all the fabric on the assembly station 2 and slides the clamped fabric on the track 7 through the sliding of the truss 12.

[0050] The feeding gripper 6a releases the gripped fabric, placing it on the processing station 3, and the truss 12 slides back on the track 7, causing the connecting plate 62 and the chuck 63 to move away from the processing station 3.

[0051] The driving processing head 9 moves downward and acts to sew or press several pieces of fabric together to produce a finished product;

[0052] The motor 13 controls and rotates the connecting plate 62 on the unloading chuck 63 to above the processing station 3, and the chuck 63 picks up the finished product.

[0053] Rotate the connecting plate 62 on the reset unloading chuck 63 so that the clamped finished product is located above the finished product unloading bin 5 at the finished product working position 5a. Release the chuck 63 so that the finished product is located in the finished product unloading bin 5.

[0054] Preferably, when there is only one type of fabric to be processed, the feeding gripper 6a can directly pick up the fabric in the fabric feeding bin 4 at the working feeding position 4b and place it on the processing position 3.
