Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic fabric threading technology, and in particular discloses an automatic fabric threading mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] An automated fabric threading mechanism is a mechanical device used to handle and thread fabric or similar materials, commonly used in textile production lines or other fabric processing in manufacturing. Traditionally, fabric threading usually requires manual operation, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but can also lead to low production efficiency and human error. Automated fabric threading mechanisms have emerged in the present technology, which achieve automatic clamping, conveying, and threading of external rolls of fabric through the coordinated work of a frame, circulating conveyor components, limiting components, and drive components. However, existing automated fabric threading mechanisms still have shortcomings in terms of clamping stability, conveying accuracy, and adaptability, requiring further optimization and improvement. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic fabric feeding mechanism.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an automatic fabric threading mechanism, comprising a frame, a circulating conveying component movably mounted on the frame, a limiting component connected to the circulating conveying component, and a driving component; the limiting component includes a component for limiting the external roll of material, and the driving component drives the circulating conveying component to move, thereby driving the limiting component that has limited the external roll of material to perform fabric threading operation from the unwinding end to the rewinding end.

[0005] The limiting components include a clamping plate for limiting the outer roll, a cover plate, and a clamping drive that drives the cover plate to move closer to or away from the clamping plate to clamp or release the outer roll.

[0006] This automated fabric threading mechanism, through the coordinated operation of a frame, a circulating conveyor assembly, a limiting assembly, and a drive assembly, achieves automatic fabric clamping, conveying, and threading operations, effectively improving production efficiency. The limiting assembly, through the cooperation of clamping plates and a cover plate, can precisely clamp or release the outer roll of fabric, preventing slippage or damage. Simultaneously, the drive assembly drives the limiting assembly to reciprocate, ensuring stable fabric delivery to the take-up end. This device is simple and efficient in design, highly adaptable, and can automatically adjust the clamping force, reducing manual intervention, lowering operational risks, and improving operational stability and safety.

[0007] The frame is equipped with a first roller, and there are multiple sets of first rollers. The outer roll material is tensioned by multiple first rollers in sequence and then unwound to the outer winding mechanism.

[0008] The drive assembly includes a drive motor, the circulating conveyor assembly includes multiple gears rotatably mounted on the frame, and an annular conveyor belt surrounding the multiple gears. A limiting assembly is mounted on the conveyor belt. The drive motor drives the gears to rotate, causing the limiting assembly on the conveyor belt to move cyclically.

[0009] Through the cooperation of the drive motor and gear components, the clamping assembly can move at a preset speed and tension, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the fabric. Simultaneously, the use of multiple sets of first rollers effectively enhances the fabric tension, allowing it to be smoothly conveyed to the take-up end, thereby improving overall production efficiency and the quality of fabric processing.

[0010] The cover plate includes a main body and two bends extending from both ends of the main body. The first bend is connected to and rotates with a clamping drive component. The cover plate is then placed on the clamping plate via the second bend. The first bend's connection to the clamping drive component allows the cover plate to move closer to or further away from the clamping plate under the control of the drive component, thereby clamping or releasing the outer roll of material. The cover plate's placement on the clamping plate via the second bend ensures that the fabric is stably clamped between the clamping components during operation.

[0011] The second bend, near the cover plate, features an elastic sealing strip to enhance the sealing and stability of the external roll material during clamping. This elastic sealing strip ensures close contact with the clamping plate during clamping, effectively preventing air, dust, or impurities from entering the clamping area and enhancing the seal between the clamping components. It provides a certain amount of compressive force to ensure the sealing of the clamping area, preventing external factors from affecting the clamping effect. The presence of the elastic sealing strip improves stability during clamping, reducing loosening or slippage caused by deformation of the external roll material or uneven pressure. By enhancing the seal, the external roll material is more securely clamped in the restraining assembly, effectively reducing instability of the fabric during transport. The flexibility of the elastic sealing strip helps prevent scratches or damage to the fabric surface, especially during clamping and releasing. It acts as a buffer, avoiding frictional damage that may occur from direct contact between metal and fabric.

[0012] The first roller is coated with an anti-slip coating to prevent the outer roll of fabric from sliding or slipping during transport. The anti-slip coating forms a special material on the roller surface, increasing the friction between the outer roll and the roller. This increased friction effectively prevents the fabric from sliding or slipping due to inertia or external factors during transport, ensuring stable fabric delivery. Anti-slip coatings are typically made of materials such as rubber, polyurethane, silicone, or polyethylene (PE) / polypropylene (PP). These coatings effectively increase the friction on the roller surface, preventing the fabric from sliding or slipping during transport, while providing good abrasion resistance and surface protection, making them suitable for anti-slip applications with various environmental conditions and requirements.

[0013] The automatic fabric feeding mechanism also includes a control center. The clamping assembly is also equipped with a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor, the limiting assembly, the driving assembly, and the circulating conveying assembly are all electrically connected to the control center. The pressure sensor is used to detect the clamping force between the limiting assembly and the external roll of material. The control center adjusts the fabric clamping action according to the feedback from the pressure sensor to prevent the clamping assembly from causing excessive pressure on the external roll of material and damaging it.

[0014] The drive motor, whether a stepper motor or a servo motor, provides precise power control to ensure stable movement of the limiting component. Stepper motors offer precise step-by-step control, with each step's rotation angle precisely adjustable, allowing for high-precision control of the limiting component's movement. This type of motor is particularly suitable for applications requiring quantitative and precise control of position or angle, ensuring the stability and consistency of clamping actions. Servo motors achieve even higher precision power control through a feedback control system, enabling precise adjustment of speed, position, and torque. Servo motors are commonly used in applications requiring high dynamic response and high control precision, making them suitable for environments demanding high performance and flexible operation.

[0015] The fabric feeding mechanism also includes a fabric placement tray mounted on the frame, used to hold the outer roll of fabric. A groove is formed in the center of the tray to fix the position of the outer roll and prevent slippage. The tray primarily supports and holds the outer roll, ensuring its stability during transport. It provides a stable platform for the roll, avoiding the risk of instability or slippage. The fabric feeding mechanism also includes multiple mounting feet at the bottom of the frame. This arrangement evenly distributes the weight of the mechanism, improving overall stability and balance. Silicone pads are located at the bottom of the mounting feet, effectively absorbing vibrations generated during machine operation and reducing their transmission to the surrounding environment or structure, protecting the machine and improving operating comfort.

[0016] The unwinding end is equipped with two sets of first rollers. The distance between the central axis of the first set of first rollers and the ground is lower than the distance between the central axis of the second set of first rollers and the ground. The diameters of the first and second sets of first rollers are equal, and they together form an inclined surface. An external lighting device is installed on the frame to detect the fabric yield rate. The inclined surface facilitates illumination detection by the lighting device. Because the fabric is guided onto an inclined surface, the lighting device can more easily illuminate the entire fabric surface, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of visual inspection.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention achieves automatic clamping, conveying, and threading of fabric through the coordinated action of a frame, a circulating conveyor assembly, a limiting assembly, and a drive assembly. The limiting assembly, through the cooperation of clamping plates and a cover plate, precisely controls the clamping force of the external roll of fabric, preventing slippage or damage. The drive assembly drives the limiting assembly to reciprocate from the unwinding end to the rewinding end, ensuring stable fabric conveying. This device is simple and efficient in design, highly adaptable, automatically adjusts the clamping force, reduces manual intervention, lowers operational risks, and improves operational stability and safety. Enhanced tension and anti-slip measures effectively improve production efficiency and fabric processing quality, enabling safe and reliable operation under various working conditions.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an automatic fabric threading mechanism of this utility model includes a frame 1, a circulating conveying component 2 movably mounted on the frame 1, a limiting component 3 connected to the circulating conveying component 2, and a driving component 4; the limiting component 3 includes a component for limiting the external roll of material, and the driving component 4 drives the circulating conveying component 2 to move, thereby driving the limiting component 3, which has limited the external roll of material, to perform fabric threading operation from the unwinding end to the rewinding end.

[0026] The limiting component 3 includes a clamping plate 5 for limiting the outer roll material, a cover plate 6, and a clamping drive 7. The clamping drive 7 drives the cover plate 6 to move closer to or away from the clamping plate 5 to clamp or release the outer roll material.

[0027] This automatic fabric threading mechanism, through the coordinated operation of the frame 1, the circulating conveyor component 2, the limiting component 3, and the drive component 4, achieves automatic clamping, conveying, and threading of fabric, effectively improving production efficiency. The limiting component 3, through the cooperation of the clamping plate 5 and the cover plate 6, can precisely clamp or release the outer roll of fabric, preventing slippage or damage. Simultaneously, the drive component 4 drives the limiting component 3 to reciprocate, ensuring stable fabric delivery to the take-up end. This device is simple and efficient in design, highly adaptable, and can automatically adjust the clamping force, reducing manual intervention, lowering operational risks, and improving operational stability and safety.

[0028] The frame 1 is provided with a first roller 8, and there are multiple sets of first rollers 8. The outer roll material is tensioned by multiple first rollers 8 in sequence and then unwound to the outer winding mechanism.

[0029] The drive assembly 4 includes a drive motor 9, the circulating conveyor assembly 2 includes multiple gear components 11 rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and an annular conveyor belt 12 surrounding the multiple gear components 11. The limiting assembly 3 is mounted on the conveyor belt 12. The drive motor 9 drives the gear components 11 to rotate, thereby causing the limiting assembly 3 on the conveyor belt 12 to move cyclically.

[0030] Through the cooperation of the drive motor 9 and gear 11, the clamping assembly can move at a preset speed and tension, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the fabric. At the same time, the use of multiple sets of first rollers 8 effectively enhances the tension of the fabric, enabling it to be smoothly conveyed to the take-up end, thereby improving overall production efficiency and the quality of fabric processing.

[0031] The cover plate 6 includes a body 13, with a first bend 14 and a second bend 15 bent out from both ends of the body 13. The first bend 14 is connected to and rotates with the clamping drive component 7. The cover plate 6 is closed onto the clamping plate 5 via the second bend 15. The first bend 14 is connected to and rotates with the clamping drive component 7, so that the cover plate 6 can move closer to or further away from the clamping plate 5 according to the control of the drive component 4, thereby clamping or releasing the outer roll of material. The cover plate 6 is closed onto the clamping plate 5 via the second bend 15, ensuring that the fabric can be stably clamped between the clamping components during operation.

[0032] The second bend 15 has an elastic sealing strip 16 on the side near the cover plate 6 to enhance the sealing and stability when clamping the external roll. The elastic sealing strip 16 makes close contact with the clamping plate 5 when clamping the external roll, effectively preventing air, dust, or impurities from entering the clamping area and enhancing the sealing between the clamping components. It provides a certain amount of compression force to ensure the sealing of the clamping area, preventing external factors from affecting the clamping effect. The presence of the elastic sealing strip 16 improves stability during clamping and reduces loosening or slippage caused by deformation of the external roll or uneven pressure. By enhancing the sealing, the external roll is more firmly clamped in the limiting component 3, effectively reducing the instability of the fabric during transport. The flexibility of the elastic sealing strip 16 helps prevent scratches or damage to the fabric surface, especially during clamping and releasing. It acts as a buffer, avoiding frictional damage that may occur from direct contact between metal and fabric.

[0033] The first roller 8 is coated with an anti-slip coating to prevent the outer roll of fabric from sliding or slipping during transport. The anti-slip coating forms a special material on the roller surface, increasing the friction between the outer roll and the roller. This increased friction effectively prevents the fabric from sliding or slipping due to inertia or external factors during transport, ensuring stable fabric delivery. Anti-slip coatings are typically made of materials such as rubber, polyurethane, silicone, or polyethylene (PE) / polypropylene (PP). These coatings effectively increase the friction on the roller surface, preventing the fabric from sliding or slipping during transport, while providing good abrasion resistance and surface protection, making them suitable for anti-slip applications with various environmental conditions and requirements.

[0034] The automatic fabric feeding mechanism also includes a control center. The clamping assembly is also equipped with a pressure sensor 17. The pressure sensor 17, the limiting assembly 3, the driving assembly 4, and the circulating conveying assembly 2 are all electrically connected to the control center. The pressure sensor 17 is used to detect the clamping force between the limiting assembly 3 and the external roll material. The control center adjusts the fabric clamping action according to the feedback from the pressure sensor 17 to prevent the clamping assembly from causing excessive pressure on the external roll material and damaging it.

[0035] The drive motor 9 is either a stepper motor or a servo motor, providing precise power control to ensure stable movement of the limiting component 3. A stepper motor offers precise step-by-step control, allowing for precise adjustment of the rotation angle at each step, thus enabling high-precision control of the movement of the limiting component 3. This type of motor is particularly suitable for applications requiring quantitative and precise control of position or angle, ensuring the stability and consistency of the clamping action. A servo motor achieves even higher precision power control through a feedback control system, enabling precise adjustment of speed, position, and torque. Servo motors are commonly used in applications requiring high dynamic response and high control precision, making them suitable for environments demanding high performance and flexible operation.

[0036] The fabric feeding mechanism also includes a fabric placement tray 18 mounted on the frame 1, which is used to place the outer roll of fabric. A groove 21 is formed in the middle of the fabric placement tray 18 to fix the position of the outer roll of fabric and prevent it from slipping. The fabric placement tray 18 mainly supports and places the outer roll of fabric, ensuring its stability during transport. It provides a stable platform for the roll of fabric, avoiding the risk of instability or slippage.

[0037] The fabric feeding mechanism also includes multiple mounting feet 19 located at the bottom of the frame 1. The arrangement of these mounting feet 19 evenly distributes the weight of the mechanism, improving overall stability and balance. The bottom of each mounting foot 19 is equipped with a silicone pad, which effectively absorbs vibrations generated during machine operation, reducing their transmission to the surrounding environment or structure, protecting the machine, and improving the comfort of the operating environment.

[0038] The unwinding end is equipped with two sets of first rollers 8. The distance between the central axis of the first set of first rollers 8 and the ground is lower than the distance between the central axis of the second set of first rollers 8 and the ground. The diameters of the first set of first rollers 8 and the second set of first rollers 8 are equal, and they together form an inclined surface. An illumination device is provided on the outside of the frame 1. The illumination device is used to detect the fabric yield rate. The inclined surface facilitates the illumination detection by the illumination device. Because the fabric is guided to an inclined surface, the illumination device can more easily illuminate the entire fabric surface, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of visual inspection.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
