Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0022] This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 An automatic fabric laying mechanism includes a core frame 5, a connecting rod 51 installed at the bottom outer end of the core frame 5, a clamping component mounting base 52 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 51, and a fabric processing mechanism 4 provided on the surface of the core frame 5. The fabric processing mechanism 4 includes a control smoothing component 41 and a clamping component 42.
[0025] The control smoothing component 41 includes a medium-sized robotic arm mounting base 411, which is located at the right end of the core frame 5. A first connecting arm 412 is mounted on the top of the medium-sized robotic arm mounting base 411, a second connecting arm 413 is mounted on the left end of the first connecting arm 412, an end effector 414 is mounted on the bottom end of the second connecting arm 413, a small robotic arm 415 is mounted on the top inside the core frame 5, and a smoothing roller 416 is mounted on the bottom of the small robotic arm 415.
[0026] The end effector 414 is installed at the bottom end of the second connecting arm 413 away from the first connecting arm 412, and the small robotic arm 415 and the smoothing roller 416 are located inside the core frame 5.
[0027] The clamping assembly 42 includes an electric cylinder 421, which is disposed around the bottom of the core frame 5. A connection controller 422 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the electric cylinder 421, and a gripper 423 is installed on the inner end of the connection controller 422.
[0028] The connection controller 422 is installed at the bottom of the clamping assembly mounting base 52. The electric cylinder 421 is controlled by the host computer, and the connection controller 422 is controlled by the electric cylinder 421.
[0029] The gripper 423 is installed at the end of the connection controller 422 away from the connection controller 422, and the gripper 423 is controlled by the connection controller 422;
[0030] The small robotic arm 415 is controlled by a host computer, and the first connecting arm 412, the second connecting arm 413 and the end effector 414 are also controlled by the host computer.
[0031] In actual operation, when this device is used, the medium-sized robotic arm mounting base 411 is placed in a suitable position. The end effector 414 is moved to the material picking position through the first connecting arm 412 and the second connecting arm 413. The end effector 414 is placed above the fabric and waits for the command from the host computer. After the host computer command arrives, the end effector 414 descends to the fabric through the first connecting arm 412 and the second connecting arm 413 to pick up the material. At this time, the electric cylinder 421 works to move the gripper 423 forward through the connection controller 422 and compares it with the material form in the upper position command. After the gripper 423 is in place, it clamps the fabric. The electric cylinder 421 works to control the gripper 423 to retract through the connection controller 422 and enter the tension control mode. The current tension value is read and compared with the material tension in the host computer system and the tension is maintained and retracted to the position specified by the host computer. The material picking stage is completed.
[0032] The host computer specifies the workpiece position and issues a command. The end effector 414 arrives at the workpiece and stands ready. According to the host computer's command, the end effector 414 moves above the workpiece and adjusts to the appropriate position according to the graphic pattern in the host computer system. Once adjusted, the small robotic arm 415 moves the smoothing roller 416 above the fabric. After the end effector 414 detects the tension signal and confirms that the small robotic arm 415 and the smoothing roller 416 are in position, the electric cylinder 421 operates to relax the fabric while maintaining constant tension. When the robotic arm 415 and the smoothing roller 416 are working, the clamping assembly 42 will move aside one by one so that the smoothing roller 416 can better fit the workpiece surface. After the small robotic arm 415 and the smoothing roller 416 complete the smoothing action of the set area within the current arm span, the first connecting arm 412 and the second connecting arm 413 will move the end effector 414 to the unsmoothed area and continue to fit the workpiece. The small robotic arm 415 and the smoothing roller 416 continue to smooth the workpiece until all positions on the workpiece have been smoothed, and the smoothing stage is completed.
[0033] With the grippers 423 fully open, the electric cylinder 421 retracts to its original position, and the first connecting arm 412 and the second connecting arm 413 lift and reset the end effector 414, the entire material laying operation is completed.
[0034] When it is necessary to change the fabric size, the profile connection at the upper end of the end effector 414 can be adjusted to adapt to multiple varieties. The gripper 423 can be adjusted in real time according to different fabric tensions. The tension can be infinitely controlled using the servo tension mode. The front gripper can also be replaced according to the physical characteristics of the fabric.
