Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fabric production and preparation technology, and in particular to a positioning mechanism for automatic fabric placement. Background Technology
[0002] In the intermediate stages of fabric production, fabric rolls are wound onto spools and stored on racks for workers to use. Before placement, the fabric rolls are usually stacked in an orderly manner on stacking equipment or conveyor platforms. The fabric rolls are then transported from the stacking equipment or conveyor platforms to the racks. The racks display the fabric rolls clearly and orderly. However, relying on manual transfer requires manual positioning and placement. In addition, as the height of the racks changes, workers need to climb up and down to place as many fabric rolls as possible, ensuring that the fabric rolls are arranged in order. This results in low efficiency in the transfer and placement of fabric. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of low efficiency in the transfer and placement of fabrics in the prior art, and provides a positioning mechanism for automatic placement of fabrics to improve the efficiency of fabric transfer and placement.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A positioning mechanism for automatic fabric placement includes a track beam and a placement frame. The placement frame is connected to the track beam and has several placement rods. The track beam is slidably connected to a support rod, the support rod is movably connected to a slide table, the slide table is movably connected to a movable support arm, the movable support arm is connected to a clamping seat, the clamping seat is rotatably connected to a clamping assembly, the support rod is connected to several horizontal positioning blocks, the movable support arm is connected to several vertical positioning blocks, and the slide table is connected to a positioning sensor one and a positioning sensor two. Positioning sensor one is electrically connected to the horizontal positioning blocks, and positioning sensor two is electrically connected to the vertical positioning blocks.
[0006] The track beam is placed above one side of the placement rack, which is used to display rolls of fabric. By inserting the rolls of fabric into the placement rods, several rolls of fabric are placed on the placement rack, which is arranged in several rows and columns horizontally. The track beam frame is used to transfer fabric rolls from conveying equipment. Support rods are arranged parallel to the placement frame, and the support rods reciprocate on the track beam frame to transport the movable support arm connected to the support rod. This allows the fabric rolls, held and picked up by the clamping components on the movable support arm, to be transferred from the conveying equipment to the placement frame. When placing the insert rod at different positions, the movement is achieved by the lateral movement of the slide table on the support rod combined with the vertical movement of the movable support arm on the slide table. Positioning sensor one is electrically connected to the lateral positioning block, and positioning sensor two is electrically connected to the vertical positioning block. Several lateral positioning blocks on the support rod receive corresponding signals from positioning sensor one on the slide table as the slide table moves, and several vertical positioning blocks on the movable support arm receive corresponding signals from positioning sensor two on the slide table as the slide table moves. After the clamping components pick up the fabric roll, the movable support arm and slide table stop at the corresponding positions, and the fabric roll is then placed into the corresponding placement rod through overall movement, achieving highly efficient automated positioning and placement of fabric materials. This achieves the effects of improving positioning accuracy, enhancing the automation of placement, and increasing the efficiency of fabric transfer through the positioning mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the support rod includes a rotating mechanism and an adjusting rod. The rotating mechanism is connected to the support rod, and one end of the adjusting rod is connected to the rotating mechanism. The slide table has a screw hole and a slot. The slide table engages with the support rod via the slot, and the adjusting rod is threadedly connected to the screw hole. The rotating mechanism drives the adjusting rod to rotate on the support rod, thereby enabling the slide table, which is threadedly connected to the adjusting rod, to move back and forth with high precision. The slide table is connected to the support rod via the slot for stable reciprocating movement. This achieves the effect of ensuring positioning and conveying accuracy and stability, and improving operational automation and efficiency.
[0008] Preferably, the support rod is connected to a stabilizing block, which has a socket. The other end of the adjusting rod is inserted into the socket. The rotating mechanism and the stabilizing block are connected to the two ends of the adjusting rod to cooperate with the slot support slide. The adjusting rod can rotate within the socket, thereby improving the support stability through the stabilizing block. This achieves the effect of improving the structural connection strength and operational stability.
[0009] Preferably, the slide table is equipped with a movable slot and a stabilizing hole. The movable support arm is inserted into the stabilizing hole. The movable slot is equipped with a second rotating mechanism and a drive disk. The second rotating mechanism is connected to the movable slot, and the drive disk is connected to the second rotating mechanism. The movable support arm is engaged with the drive disk. The slide table is connected to the second rotating mechanism via the movable slot. The second rotating mechanism drives the connected drive disk to rotate. The movable support arm, inserted into the stabilizing hole, moves vertically in a directional manner, thereby enabling the movable support arm engaged with the drive disk to move vertically with high precision. This achieves the effect of further ensuring the positioning and conveying accuracy and stability, and improving the automation and efficiency of operation.
[0010] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a connecting plate and a robotic arm. One end of the connecting plate is connected to the clamping base, and the other end of the connecting plate has several positioning holes. The robotic arm is connected to mounting screws, which are detachably connected to the positioning holes. The connecting plate in the clamping assembly is connected to the clamping base to fix its position. The robotic arm is used to grip the fabric rolls, and its position is determined by the positioning holes. By connecting the mounting screws to different positioning holes, the position of the robotic arm can be adjusted, thus improving the flexibility and adjustability of the positioning.
[0011] Preferably, the clamping base is connected to a transition plate and a rotating mechanism three. The transition plate has a through hole, and a rotating plate is connected to a connecting plate. The rotating mechanism three is connected to a rotating rod, which is inserted into the through hole. The rotating plate is connected to the rotating rod. The clamping base connects the transition plate and the rotating mechanism three. The transition plate supports the rotating rod driven by the rotating mechanism three, causing the rotating plate connected to the rotating rod to drive the rotation of the connecting plate. This allows the robot arm to insert the fabric roll into the placement rod by turning at a right angle after gripping it, thereby achieving precision and automation in the transfer process. This improves the stability of the structural operation and the degree of automation.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: improving positioning accuracy through the positioning mechanism; enhancing the automation of placement; improving the efficiency of fabric transfer; ensuring positioning and conveying accuracy and stability, improving operational automation and efficiency; and improving the flexibility and adjustability of positioning.

The positioning sensor 11 is electrically connected to the horizontal positioning block 9, and the positioning sensor 2 12 is electrically connected to the vertical positioning block 10.
[0025] like Figure 2 , 4As shown, the support rod 4 is provided with a rotating mechanism 13 and an adjusting rod 14. The rotating mechanism 13 is connected to the support rod 4, and one end of the adjusting rod 14 is connected to the rotating mechanism 13. The slide table 5 is provided with a screw hole 15 and a slot 16. The slide table 5 is engaged with the support rod 4 through the slot 16. The adjusting rod 14 is threadedly connected to the screw hole 15. The support rod 4 is connected to a stabilizing block 17. The stabilizing block 17 is provided with an insertion hole 18. The other end of the adjusting rod 14 is inserted into the insertion hole 18.
[0026] like Figure 2 , 5 As shown, the slide table 5 is provided with a movable groove 19 and a stabilizing hole 20. The movable support arm 6 is inserted into the stabilizing hole 20. The movable groove 19 is provided with a rotating mechanism 21 and a drive disk 22. The rotating mechanism 21 is connected to the movable groove 19, the drive disk 22 is connected to the rotating mechanism 21, and the movable support arm 6 is engaged with the drive disk 22.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the clamping assembly 8 includes a connecting plate 23 and a robotic arm 24. One end of the connecting plate 23 is connected to the clamping base 7, and the other end of the connecting plate 23 is provided with several positioning holes 25. The robotic arm 24 is connected to a mounting screw 26, which is detachably connected to the positioning holes 25. The clamping base 7 is connected to a transition plate 27 and a rotating mechanism 38. The transition plate 27 is provided with a through hole 29. The connecting plate 23 is connected to a rotating plate 30. The rotating mechanism 38 is connected to a rotating rod 31, which is inserted into the through hole 29. The rotating plate 30 is connected to the rotating rod 31.
[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown: The positioning mechanism for automatic fabric placement includes a control system (not shown in the figure), horizontal positioning block 9, vertical positioning block 11, positioning sensor one, and positioning sensor two 12, all of which are infrared sensors electrically connected to the control system. Through signal transmission, the control system controls positioning sensor one 11 to stop at the corresponding horizontal positioning block 9 and controls positioning sensor two 12 to stop at the corresponding vertical positioning block 10, thus achieving fixed-point directional displacement in conjunction with the movement of the track beam 1. A linear drive device (not shown in the figure) is installed on the track beam 1, and the support rod 4 is connected to the linear drive device. Existing linear drive devices such as linear guide rail mechanisms and screw transmission mechanisms are used for control.

[0031] Before placing the fabric: The support rod 4 moves on the track beam 1, so that the clamping assembly 8 moves to above the fabric roll stack. By starting the rotating mechanism 21, the moving arm 6 descends to above the fabric roll, and then the robot arm 24 picks up the fabric roll, waiting for it to be placed on the placement rack 2.
[0032] When placing fabric using the positioning mechanism: To place the required placement rod 3 on the placement rack 2, activate the first rotating mechanism 13. This causes the slide 5 to move laterally on the support rod 4 until it corresponds to the lateral position of the corresponding (empty placement rod 3). At this time, the lateral positioning block 9, during its movement, corresponds to the positioning sensor 11 and transmits a signal to the control system, causing the first rotating mechanism 13 to disengage. Then, activate the second rotating mechanism 21. This causes the drive disc 22 to rotate, driving the moving arm 6 vertically until it corresponds to the vertical position of the corresponding (empty placement rod 3). At this time, the vertical positioning block 10, during its movement, corresponds to the positioning sensor 12 and transmits a signal to the control system, causing the second rotating mechanism 21 to disengage. Restart the linear drive device to move the support rod 4 toward the placement frame 2 on the track beam 1. During this time (away from the fabric stack), start the rotating mechanism 28 to make the rotating plate 30 rotate and drive the clamping assembly 8 to rotate, thereby turning the fabric roll ninety degrees and making the hollow roll face the placement rod 3 until it is inserted. Release the robot arm 24 to keep the fabric roll in the placement rod 3. Repeat the above actions to complete the automatic placement of the fabric roll through the positioning mechanism.
