[0042] Referring to Figure 1 And Figure 2According to the cap piece feeding device 1 of the embodiment of the utility model, the cap piece feeding device 1 is used for the delivery of cap piece, the cap piece has a breathable hole, the cap piece feeding device 1 includes frame 10, material supporting mechanism 20, grabbing mechanism 30 and sliding mechanism 40. Material supporting mechanism 20 is arranged on frame 10, and material supporting mechanism 20 includes liftable material supporting plate 21, the material supporting plate 21 is used for placing cap piece, and the material supporting plate 21 is used for lifting cap piece. Grabbing mechanism 30 is movably arranged on frame 10 and located above material supporting mechanism 20, and grabbing mechanism 30 includes liftable grabbing piece 31, the grabbing piece 31 is located above material supporting mechanism 20, and the grabbing piece 31 is used for grabbing cap piece. Sliding mechanism 40 is arranged on frame 10, grabbing mechanism 30 is arranged on the output end of sliding mechanism 40, and sliding mechanism 40 is used for driving grabbing mechanism 30 to move on frame 10 so that grabbing mechanism 30 delivers cap piece to sewing device 2.

[0043] The cap piece feeding device 1 of the utility model realizes the automatic and accurate delivery of cap piece through the cooperation of material supporting mechanism 20, grabbing mechanism 30 and sliding mechanism 40, greatly improves the efficiency and product quality of hat production. The liftable material supporting plate 21 in material supporting mechanism 20 can stably support the cap piece with a breathable hole, ensure that it remains flat during the delivery process, and avoid sewing errors caused by cap piece deformation or displacement. Grabbing mechanism 30 accurately grabs cap piece through liftable grabbing piece 31, ensuring the position accuracy of cap piece when delivered to sewing device 2, thereby improving the precision and consistency of sewing. In addition, the introduction of sliding mechanism 40 enables grabbing mechanism 30 to move smoothly and quickly on frame 10, not only realizing efficient delivery of cap piece, but also significantly reducing the labor intensity of workers, reducing the dependence on worker proficiency, effectively solving the problems of unstable product quality and poor consistency in the prior art. In general, the cap piece feeding device 1 of the utility model has shown significant advantages in improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality and reducing labor costs.

[0044] The cap piece feeding device 1 of the utility model is described in detail below in combination with the specific embodiments. The cap piece feeding device 1 of the embodiment mainly comprises a rack 10, a material supporting mechanism 20, a grabbing mechanism 30 and a sliding mechanism 40. The rack 10 serves as the basis of the entire device, and its stable structure design provides solid support for the installation and operation of other components. The material supporting mechanism 20 is installed on the rack 10, and its core component is a liftable material supporting plate 21. This material supporting plate 21 is specially used for placing and lifting cap pieces with air holes. The design of the material supporting plate 21 enables it to adjust the height according to actual needs, so as to closely cooperate with the grabbing mechanism 30 and complete the accurate grabbing and conveying of cap pieces. The surface of the material supporting plate 21 is carefully treated to ensure smoothness, thereby avoiding damage or wrinkles when placing cap pieces. The grabbing mechanism 30 is flexibly arranged above the rack 10 and directly above the material supporting mechanism 20. It comprises a liftable grabbing piece 31, which is carefully designed to stably and accurately grab cap pieces on the material supporting plate 21. The lifting action of the grabbing piece 31 is accurately controlled by a driving device (such as a pneumatic cylinder or a motor), ensuring that the grabbing process is both smooth and reliable. The sliding mechanism 40 is installed on the rack 10 and closely connected with the grabbing mechanism 30. Its main function is to drive the grabbing mechanism 30 to move smoothly on the rack 10 along a preset trajectory, so as to accurately convey the grabbed cap pieces to the sewing device 2. The driving mode of the sliding mechanism 40 can be selected according to actual needs, such as motor drive or pneumatic cylinder drive, to ensure the flexibility and efficiency of the conveying process.

[0045] In actual operation, the cap pieces are first stably lifted by the material supporting plate 21 of the material supporting mechanism 20, and then the grabbing piece 31 of the grabbing mechanism 30 descends and tightly grabs the cap pieces. Next, the sliding mechanism 40 starts, and the grabbing mechanism 30 and the cap pieces move smoothly along the preset trajectory to the upper side of the sewing device 2. Finally, the grabbing piece 31 releases the cap pieces, completing the entire conveying process. The entire operation process is smooth and efficient, and the components work cooperatively to achieve the automated and accurate conveying of cap pieces, significantly improving the production efficiency and product quality of hats.

[0046] Therefore, it can be understood that the cap piece feeding device 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: after the cap pieces are grabbed by the grabbing piece 31 of the grabbing mechanism 30, the grabbing mechanism 30 is driven by the sliding mechanism 40 to convey the cap pieces to the sewing mechanism. Through grabbing by the grabbing mechanism 30 and conveying by the sliding mechanism 40, the cap pieces can be conveyed to the sewing mechanism by artificial means, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the cap pieces and further improving the sewing efficiency of the cap pieces.

[0047] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5In some embodiments of the utility model, the material supporting mechanism 20 further includes a first lifting assembly 22, the first lifting assembly 22 is arranged on the rack 10, the material supporting plate 21 is arranged on the output end of the first lifting assembly 22, and the first lifting assembly 22 is used to drive the material supporting plate 21 to move up and down.

[0048] The embodiment further optimizes the material supporting mechanism 20, and specifically, the material supporting mechanism 20 is additionally provided with the first lifting assembly 22.The first lifting assembly 22 is ingeniously installed on the rack 10 and closely connected with the material supporting plate 21, becoming the power source for the material supporting plate 21 to move up and down.The first lifting assembly 22 considers the actual needs in the cap conveying process, and can accurately adjust the height of the material supporting plate 21 according to the position of the grabbing mechanism 30 and the height of the sewing device 2.When the cap needs to be lifted for the grabbing mechanism 30 to grab, the first lifting assembly 22 drives the material supporting plate 21 to stably rise, ensuring that the cap can be accurately grabbed by the grabbing part 31.After the conveying of the cap is completed, the material supporting plate 21 slowly descends under the drive of the first lifting assembly 22 and returns to the initial position.The driving mode of the first lifting assembly 22 is flexible and diverse, and can be selected according to the actual production environment, such as cylinder drive, motor drive or hydraulic drive.Whether any driving mode is adopted, the first lifting assembly 22 can ensure that the lifting action of the material supporting plate 21 is stable and accurate, thereby avoiding any damage to the cap in the lifting process.

[0049] By introducing the first lifting assembly 22, the cap feeding device 1 of the embodiment not only realizes the automatic lifting of the material supporting plate 21, but also greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of cap conveying.Meanwhile, this also makes the whole device more flexible and diverse, can easily adapt to different height and type of cap conveying requirements, further improves the practicality and universality of the device.

[0050] Referring to Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments of the utility model, the grabbing mechanism 30 further includes: a mounting plate 32, a mounting frame 33 and a second lifting assembly 34.The mounting plate 32 is arranged on the output end of the sliding mechanism 40; the mounting frame 33 is slidably arranged on the mounting plate 32, and the grabbing part 31 is installed at the lower end of the mounting frame 33; the second lifting assembly 34 is arranged on the mounting plate 32, and the mounting frame 33 is arranged on the output end of the second lifting assembly 34, and the second lifting assembly 34 is used to drive the mounting frame 33 to move up and down, so that the grabbing part 31 is away from or close to the cap on the material supporting plate 21.The embodiment further refines the design of the grabbing mechanism 30 to enhance its function and flexibility.Specifically, the grabbing mechanism 30 now includes the mounting plate 32, the mounting frame 33 and the second lifting assembly 34.

[0051] Specifically, the mounting plate 32 is firmly arranged on the output end of the sliding mechanism 40 and moves with the movement of the sliding mechanism 40, which ensures that the grabbing mechanism 30 can be flexibly displaced on the rack 10 as a whole. The mounting plate 32 serves as the core support structure of the grabbing mechanism 30 and provides a stable foundation for the installation of other components. The mounting frame 33 is designed to be slidably mounted on the mounting plate 32, which allows the grabbing piece 31 (mounted on the lower end of the mounting frame 33) to be adjusted in the horizontal direction to a certain extent to adapt to the grabbing requirements of cap pieces of different sizes or shapes. The sliding of the mounting frame 33 can be achieved manually or by using an automatic control system to improve the convenience and accuracy of operation. Most importantly, the second lifting assembly 34 is additionally arranged on the mounting plate 32. The output end of the second lifting assembly 34 is connected with the mounting frame 33 and is responsible for driving the mounting frame 33 (and the grabbing piece 31 at the lower end of the mounting frame 33) to move up and down. When it is necessary to grab a cap piece, the second lifting assembly 34 drives the mounting frame 33 to move downward, so that the grabbing piece 31 approaches and tightly holds the cap piece on the material supporting plate 21. After the grabbing action is completed, the second lifting assembly 34 drives the mounting frame 33 to move upward, so that the cap piece is lifted to an appropriate height for subsequent conveying operation.

[0052] The introduction of the second lifting assembly 34 not only makes the movement of the grabbing mechanism 30 in the vertical direction more flexible and accurate, but also greatly improves the efficiency and stability of cap piece grabbing. Whether it is to handle cap pieces of different thicknesses or to cope with complex production environments, the grabbing mechanism 30 of the embodiment can easily cope with it and exhibit high practicability and adaptability.

[0053] Further, with reference to Figure 4 In some embodiments of the utility model, the grabbing piece 31 is provided with two, the grabbing mechanism 30 further includes a pressing plate 35, the pressing plate 35 is arranged at the lower end of the mounting frame 33 and is located between the two grabbing pieces 31, and the pressing plate 35 is used to press the cap piece. The two grabbing pieces 31 are symmetrically mounted at the lower end of the mounting frame 33, and the spacing between them can be adjusted according to the size of the cap piece to ensure that cap pieces of various sizes can be firmly grabbed. The design of the double grabbing piece 31 not only improves the stability of grabbing, but also makes the grabbing mechanism 30 better adapt to cap pieces of different shapes and materials.

[0054] More importantly, the present embodiment is additionally provided with a pressing plate 35 between the two grabbing pieces 31 at the lower end of the mounting frame 33. The function of the pressing plate 35 is to gently press from above when the grabbing pieces 31 are grabbing the cap pieces, so as to ensure that the cap pieces remain flat during the grabbing and conveying process and will not be warped or deformed due to external force. In actual operation, when the grabbing mechanism 30 moves above the material supporting plate 21 to prepare for grabbing the cap pieces, the two grabbing pieces 31 will first be opened to the appropriate position, and then the second lifting assembly 34 drives the mounting frame 33 (and the grabbing pieces 31 and the pressing plate 35) to move downward. At the moment when the grabbing pieces 31 contact the cap pieces, the pressing plate 35 will also press on the cap pieces at the same time, ensuring that the cap pieces are stably grabbed and kept in a flat state. Subsequently, the sliding mechanism 40 drives the entire grabbing mechanism 30 (including the grabbing pieces 31, the pressing plate 35 and the grabbed cap pieces) to move above the sewing device 2 to complete the conveying task of the cap pieces.

[0055] Further, referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, two grabbing pieces 31 are provided, and the grabbing pieces 31 are needle type suction cups, and the grabbing directions of the two grabbing pieces 31 are respectively inclined to extend in opposite or facing directions. Specifically, the number of grabbing pieces 31 is set to two, and both of the two grabbing pieces 31 adopt the form of needle type suction cups.

[0056] The needle type suction cup is a suction cup with a needle, which can better fit the surface of the cap pieces with air permeability and stably grab the cap pieces through the action of the needle. Compared with the traditional flat suction cup, the needle type suction cup has more obvious advantages when grabbing cap pieces with air permeable holes, because it can more stably grab cap pieces with air permeability and avoid the situation of unstable adsorption or air leakage due to the air permeability.

[0057] More importantly, the two needle type suction cup grabbing pieces 31 in the present embodiment are designed to extend in opposite or facing directions. This inclined design enables the two grabbing pieces 31 to form a clamping angle when grabbing the cap pieces, so as to better fix the cap pieces and prevent them from sliding or deviating during the conveying process. At the same time, the inclined grabbing direction also facilitates the grabbing pieces 31 to adapt to cap pieces of different shapes and sizes, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the grabbing mechanism 30.

[0058] In actual operation, when the grabbing mechanism 30 moves above the material supporting plate 21 to prepare for grabbing the cap piece, the two needle suction cup grabbing pieces 31 will first adjust to the appropriate inclination angle and adsorb the cap piece through the action of the needle. Subsequently, the sliding mechanism 40 drives the grabbing mechanism 30 (including the two needle suction cup grabbing pieces 31 and the grabbed cap piece) to move above the sewing device 2 to complete the cap piece conveying task. During the entire process, due to the inclination design and stable grabbing capability of the needle suction cup grabbing piece 31, the cap piece can always maintain a flat and stable state, thereby ensuring the precision and consistency of sewing. By adopting the needle suction cup grabbing piece 31 and the inclined grabbing direction design, the cap piece feeding device 1 of the embodiment exhibits higher stability and accuracy when grabbing and conveying the cap piece with air holes, effectively improving the production efficiency and product quality.

[0059] With reference to Figures 2 to 5 In some embodiments of the present application, two material supporting mechanisms 20 are provided, which are arranged at intervals between each other. Two grabbing mechanisms 30 are also provided, which are arranged at intervals between each other. The two material supporting mechanisms 20 and the two grabbing mechanisms 30 are arranged one-to-one respectively.

[0060] The material supporting mechanism 20 and the grabbing mechanism 30 are further optimized in the embodiment to improve production efficiency and enhance the flexibility of the device. Specifically, the material supporting mechanism 20 and the grabbing mechanism 30 are both provided as two, and they are arranged at intervals between each other.

[0061] The two material supporting mechanisms 20 are respectively installed at appropriate positions of the rack 10, and the interval distance between them can be adjusted according to actual production requirements. Each material supporting mechanism 20 is equipped with a liftable material supporting plate 21 for supporting and lifting the cap piece. Such a design enables the device to handle two cap pieces at the same time, thereby significantly improving production efficiency. Correspondingly, the grabbing mechanism 30 is also provided as two, and they are arranged at intervals between each other to match the material supporting mechanism 20. Each grabbing mechanism 30 includes a mounting plate 32, a mounting frame 33, a grabbing piece 31 (such as a needle suction cup), and necessary lifting and sliding components. The two grabbing mechanisms 30 correspond to the two material supporting mechanisms 20 respectively, ensuring that the cap piece on each material supporting plate 21 can be accurately and stably grabbed.

[0062] In actual operation, when two hat pieces need to be processed, the two material holding mechanisms 20 will be raised at the same time to lift the hat pieces to the appropriate height. Then, the two grabbing mechanisms 30 will move above the corresponding material holding plates 21 respectively, and stably grab the hat pieces through the grabbing pieces 31 (such as needle suction cups). After the grabbing is completed, the two grabbing mechanisms 30 will simultaneously or sequentially transport the hat pieces to the sewing device 2 according to the preset trajectory, completing the sewing operation. By setting two material holding mechanisms 20 and two grabbing mechanisms 30 and making them one-to-one correspondence, the hat piece feeding device 1 of the embodiment not only improves the production efficiency, but also enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the device. This design makes the device easily cope with different production needs, such as the need to process two pieces of the same size and type of hat piece at the same time, especially the need to sew two pieces of the same size and type of hat piece together (the need to place two pieces of hat piece symmetrically, which is convenient for subsequent symmetric grabbing and symmetric fitting and sewing operation), thereby further improving the production efficiency and product quality.

[0063] Referring to Figures 1 to 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present application, the hat piece feeding device 1 further comprises a positioning mechanism 50, which is arranged on the rack 10 and located in the material holding mechanism 20. The position of the positioning mechanism 50 is adjustable, and the positioning mechanism 50 is used for positioning the hat piece.

[0064] The embodiment further introduces a positioning mechanism 50 to enhance the precise positioning ability of the hat piece. The positioning mechanism 50 is ingeniously arranged on the rack 10 and embedded in the material holding mechanism 20, becoming a key component to ensure the accurate placement and positioning of the hat piece. The positioning mechanism 50 considers the shape, size of the hat piece and the positioning needs in the production process. It can be a mechanical positioning pin, positioning block, or a photoelectric sensor, camera, etc., the specific form is determined according to the actual application scene. Regardless of the form, the core function of the positioning mechanism 50 is to ensure that the hat piece can be accurately and stably positioned on the material holding plate 21. More importantly, the position of the positioning mechanism 50 in the embodiment is adjustable. This means that during the production process, if the size or shape of the hat piece changes, or the specific position of the hat piece on the material holding plate 21 needs to be adjusted, it can be achieved by adjusting the positioning mechanism 50. This adjustability greatly enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the device, making it easily cope with different specifications and types of hat pieces.

[0065] In actual operation, when the cap piece is placed on the material supporting plate 21, the positioning mechanism 50 will respond quickly and accurately position the cap piece to the preset position. This not only ensures the stability of the cap piece in the subsequent grabbing and conveying process, but also improves the precision and consistency of sewing. At the same time, since the position of the positioning mechanism 50 is adjustable, the production personnel can easily adjust the positioning position of the cap piece according to actual needs, so as to meet different production needs.

[0066] Further, with reference to Figures 1 to 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present application, the positioning mechanism 50 comprises: a first positioning rod 51 and a plurality of second positioning rods 52, the first positioning rod 51 is arranged in the material supporting plate 21, and the first positioning rod 51 is used to be arranged in the air hole of the cap piece; the second positioning rod 52 is arranged on the rack 10 and located on the side of the material supporting plate 21, and the second positioning rod 52 is used to limit the side of the cap piece, and the position of the second positioning rod 52 is adjustable.

[0067] The positioning mechanism 50 is further refined to include the first positioning rod 51 and the plurality of second positioning rods 52, which aims to ensure the accurate placement and stable positioning of the cap piece on the material supporting plate 21 through multiple positioning methods. The first positioning rod 51 is ingeniously arranged in the material supporting plate 21, and its main function is to be arranged in the air hole of the cap piece. Since many cap pieces are designed with air holes to enhance the wearing comfort, the first positioning rod 51 uses these air holes as positioning points, which can very stably fix the cap piece on the material supporting plate 21. This positioning method is not only simple and effective, but also avoids causing any damage or marks on the surface of the cap piece. In addition to the first positioning rod 51, the positioning mechanism 50 also includes a plurality of second positioning rods 52. These second positioning rods 52 are installed on the rack 10 and arranged around the side of the material supporting plate 21. Their main function is to limit the side of the cap piece to prevent the cap piece from sliding or shifting on the material supporting plate 21. The position of the second positioning rod 52 is adjustable, which means that the production personnel can flexibly adjust the position of the second positioning rod 52 according to the size and shape of the cap piece to ensure the best positioning effect.

[0068] In actual operation, when the cap piece is placed on the material supporting plate 21, the first positioning rod 51 will first penetrate into the air hole of the cap piece to achieve preliminary stable positioning. Subsequently, the second positioning rod 52 will be adjusted according to the size and shape of the cap piece, and tightly fit the side of the cap piece, further ensuring the stability and accuracy of the cap piece. Before the grabbing mechanism 30 grabs the cap piece, the positioning mechanism 50 will always maintain accurate positioning of the cap piece, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the entire feeding process.

[0069] Further, with reference to Figure 1In some embodiments of the present application, the positioning mechanism 50 further includes a third positioning rod 53, which is arranged on the sewing device 2 in a liftable manner and can be inserted into the ventilation hole of the hat piece. The third positioning rod 53 is arranged on the sewing device 2 in a liftable manner, which means that it can move up and down according to actual needs. When the hat piece is transported to above the sewing device 2 by the grabbing mechanism 30 and is ready for sewing, the third positioning rod 53 will be raised in time and inserted into the ventilation hole of the hat piece. By using the ventilation hole of the hat piece as a positioning point, the third positioning rod 53 can effectively fix the hat piece at a specified position of the sewing device 2, preventing movement or deviation during the sewing process. This liftable third positioning rod 53 design not only improves the stability of the hat piece during the sewing process, but also ensures the precision and consistency of the sewing. Since the third positioning rod 53 is directly inserted into the ventilation hole of the hat piece, it can accurately position the hat piece, avoiding sewing deviation or errors caused by inaccurate positioning.

[0070] In actual operation, when the grabbing mechanism 30 transports the hat piece to above the sewing device 2, the sensor or control system on the sewing device 2 detects the position of the hat piece and controls the third positioning rod 53 to rise and insert into the ventilation hole of the hat piece. Once the hat piece is stably positioned, the sewing device 2 first uses a pressing mechanism (not shown in the figure) to press, and then the third positioning rod 53 can be lowered. The sewing device 2 presses and moves the hat piece through the pressing mechanism to make the sewing device 2 sew the eye at the ventilation hole. The lowered third positioning rod 53 waits for the grabbing mechanism 30 to transport the next hat piece to the sewing device 2, and then rises again to position the hat piece.

[0071] The above describes the embodiments of the present application in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present application.
