Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of luggage sewing technology, and in particular to an automatic sewing machine for zippered luggage. Background Technology

[0002] A zippered case is a type of luggage, mainly composed of two semi-enclosed case bodies, an extruded frame sewn onto the edges of the case bodies, and a zipper sewn onto the extruded frame. For the specific assembly structure of the case body, extruded frame, and zipper, please refer to Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. CN118979347A. One possible assembly method of the case body 1, extruded frame 2, and zipper 3 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the upper end of the extrusion frame forms an upper clamping groove 4 and a lower clamping groove 5 with openings facing opposite directions. The lower end of the extrusion frame has a sewing guide groove 6 facing upwards from the lower end. The extrusion frame is clamped to the edge of the box body through the lower clamping groove. The zipper is clamped to the extrusion frame through the upper clamping groove. When sewing, the upper flap 7 of the upper clamping groove needs to be flipped open so that the sewing machine needle can pass vertically through the zipper and the box body into the sewing guide groove and sew continuously. After sewing, the upper flap clamps the zipper again and covers the sewing track.

[0003] Currently, the stitching between the box body, extrusion frame, and zipper relies on manual labor. This requires manually opening the top flap, which is made of soft plastic. The opening position needs to be close to the needle to avoid the top flap obstructing the needle from sewing, making the operation highly dangerous.

[0004] This case arose in order to resolve the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content

One end of the damping shaft is fixedly inserted through the middle of the lower limit block, and the other end is fixedly inserted through the middle of the upper limit block. A feeding gap is left between the upper clamping roller and the lower clamping roller for the zipper to squeeze through.

[0012] A further improvement is that a guide structure is provided between the third bracket and the feeding plate to guide the feeding plate to smoothly drive the zipper into the upper clamping groove of the outer extrusion frame.

[0013] A further improvement is made to the guide structure, which includes a mounting plate, a guide plate, a guide rail, a slider, and a drive block. The mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the free end of the third bracket. The housing of the fourth telescopic drive component is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate.

An elastic element is provided in the groove above the slider, with the upper end of the elastic element located at the top of the groove and the lower end located on the upper surface of the slider.

[0018] A further improvement is that the frame is equipped with a tensioning structure for using gravity to tension the pre-released zipper when the feed rollers release a set length of zipper, preventing it from detaching from the guide wheel.

[0019] A further improvement is made to the tensioning structure, which includes two tensioning wheels, two tensioning slide rails, a tensioning slider, and at least one anti-detachment tensioning wheel.

The roller is sleeved on the upper limiting rod, and an anti-detachment guide opening is formed between the roller and the lower limiting rod to allow the external zipper to pass through and prevent the zipper from detaching.

[0021] A further improvement is that the frame is equipped with a feeding tray for placing external zipper rolls, and a sleeve rod for the external zipper roll to be inserted is vertically arranged in the middle of the feeding tray.

[0022] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] In this case, the positioning protrusion on the sewing guide block cooperates with the sewing guide groove of the extrusion frame, so that the box can rotate smoothly. Moreover, the front and back of the positioning protrusion are arc-shaped, which can adapt well to the arc corners of the extrusion frame.

[0024] This design replaces manual flanging with a flanging block, improving the safety of the sewing operation. The curved facet on the flanging block helps guide the upper flap of the extrusion frame to fold outwards. The flanging block is inserted into the clamping groove on the extrusion frame by sliding and inserting, avoiding situations where the upper flap fails to fold or is not properly positioned.

[0025] Further beneficial effects include: the automatic cutting of sewing threads using a thread-cutting structure eliminates the need for manual cutting, improving operator safety. Using a cylinder to drive electric scissors close to the thread allows for automatic cutting, enabling adjustments and control to ensure the scissors are positioned as close as possible to the sewing machine needle, thus shortening thread length, increasing thread utilization, and reducing consumable costs.

[0026] Further beneficial effects include: the zipper feeding structure automatically places the zipper into the upper clamping groove of the extrusion frame, replacing manual zipper feeding, improving operational safety, and enhancing the level of automated sewing of the box. The upper and lower clamping rollers restrict the zipper's autonomous movement, facilitating zipper head positioning and easy insertion into the upper clamping groove of the outer extrusion frame. During sewing, the zipper is pulled and sewn onto the extrusion frame as the box rotates. The zipper's traction by the box's rotation ensures that the zipper's traction length is synchronized with the box's flipping and sewing path length. The clamping of the upper and lower rollers helps maintain the zipper's flatness throughout the sewing process, improving the zipper sewing quality.

[0027] A further beneficial effect is that the guide structure set between the third bracket and the feeding plate restricts the movement of the feeding plate in the left and right directions, which helps to guide the feeding plate to quickly and smoothly insert the zipper into the upper clamping groove of the outer extrusion frame.

[0028] Further beneficial effects include: using a second electric scissor to automatically cut the zipper, improving the automation level of the box sewing, and enabling subsequent automated equipment such as robotic arms to completely replace manual clamping and driving of the box, further improving the automation level of box sewing.

[0029] Further beneficial effects include: the frame is also equipped with a zipper feeding structure capable of supplying zippers of a set length. The zipper is clamped on the clamping rollers. Before the previous section of zipper is cut, the clamping rollers rotate to feed the zipper. After the zipper is fed to the set length, the clamping rollers stop rotating. By pre-feeding the zipper, if the tail of the zipper detaches from the feeding roller during the feeding process, and the remaining zipper scatters on the ground, the staff or detection sensors can detect this immediately and stop sewing the box in time, avoiding the sewing of defective boxes that require rework. This allows for quick manual response, enabling the timely replacement of the zipper roll if there is insufficient remaining zipper for sewing, preventing the sewing of excess zipper waste onto the box. By controlling the tension slider at the lowest position of the tensioning slide rail and the position of the guide wheel, the total length of the zipper after pre-feeding is controlled. This total length is approximately twice the sewing zipper length, ensuring that the length of the zipper after the tail of the zipper detaches from the feeding roller is sufficient to sew the current box.

[0030] A further beneficial effect is that the tensioning structure set on the frame will use its own weight to lower and tension the pre-released zipper when the feeding roller releases the zipper of a set length. During the consumption of the pre-released zipper, it will use its own weight to counteract the zipper traction force to keep the zipper taut, thus preventing the pre-released zipper from getting tangled or falling off and affecting manual walking.

[0031] The zipper sequentially passes over a tensioning roller, two anti-detachment tensioning rollers, and another tensioning roller, then around other guide rollers, and finally passes through the feeding channel of the feeding plate. During pre-feeding by the clamping rollers, the tensioning slider descends along the tensioning rail to tension the zipper, preventing it from detaching from the guide rollers. When manual inspection or sensors detect that the tail of the zipper is about to detach from the rotating feeding rollers, or has already detached, it indicates that the remaining zipper length is insufficient to sew the next box after the current box is sewn. In this case, manual replacement of the zipper roll and removal of excess zipper waste are necessary. This helps avoid situations where insufficiently long zippers are sewn onto the box, requiring rework and improving production efficiency.

[0032] Further beneficial effects are: the clamping structure set in this case actively clamps the front end of the zipper, preventing the cut zipper from sliding along the feeding plate and shortening its length, and preventing the feeding plate from failing to send the zipper head into the upper clamping groove of the outer extrusion frame. This helps to improve the positional accuracy of the zipper when it is fed into the extrusion frame and improve the zipper sewing quality.

[0033] A further beneficial effect is that the feeding tray and sleeve rod on the frame for placing zipper rolls help to shorten the zipper traction distance and prevent the traction of the zipper from affecting the workers' walking. Attached Figure Description

The zipper feeding structure includes a feeding plate 171, a third support 172, a fourth telescopic drive 173, and a drive rod 175. The fixed end of the third support 172 is fixedly mounted on the frame 10. The housing of the fourth telescopic drive 173 is fixedly mounted on the free end of the third support 172. The drive rod 175 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic rod of the fourth telescopic drive 173. The feeding plate 171 is located above the sewing guide block 13 and is obliquely fixedly mounted on the drive rod 175. The feeding plate 171 has a feeding channel 174 for the external zipper to pass through. The feeding plate 171 is composed of an upper plate and a lower plate. The upper plate and the lower plate close the feeding channel 174 to prevent the zipper from detaching from the feeding plate 171. The feeding plate 171 consists of an upper plate and a lower plate. The upper and lower plates close the feeding channel 174 to prevent the zipper from detaching from the feeding plate 171. The feeding plate 171 can also be replaced by a clamping roller or other structure that can clamp the zipper without affecting the feeding of the zipper.

[0050] The feeding end of the feeding plate 171 is provided with a clamping structure 27 for damping and clamping to prevent the zipper from sliding. The clamping structure 27 includes an upper clamping roller 271, a lower clamping roller 272, a support rod 273, a lower limit block 274, and an upper limit block 275. The support rod 273 is fixedly mounted on the drive rod 175. A fixing rod 276 is provided on the support rod 273 along the parallel zipper conveying direction.
