Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment manufacturing equipment, specifically an elastic buckle threading machine. Background Technology
[0002] Elastic buckles are a common type of elastic structure, often used in clothing for hats or cuffs. During the manufacturing process, hooks and loops of different lengths need to be threaded through the elastic buckle. When the elastic buckle is not pressed, the internal spring keeps it closed, preventing the hook and loop from passing through or extending. When the elastic buckle is pressed, the hook and loop can freely pass through the central hole for threading and extending / retracting.
[0003] Currently, many elastic cords on elastic buckles are threaded manually. This manual threading is inefficient and wastes human resources. For workers, each threading requires squeezing the clamp, and prolonged squeezing causes hand muscle fatigue, making the work very tiring.
[0004] Utility model patent publication number CN209807209U discloses an automatic elastic cord threading device, including a base plate, a positioning mold, a first cylinder, a guide rod, a traction unit, a second cylinder, and a support frame. This elastic cord threading device uses a cylinder to replace the manual squeezing action of the worker, greatly reducing the labor intensity of the worker and providing a better working environment for production.
[0005] However, the positioning mold (used to hold the elastic buckles) of the aforementioned automatic elastic buckle threading device is fixedly mounted on the base plate with bolts, making it an integral component. When dealing with elastic buckles of different specifications and models, the entire positioning mold needs to be replaced, which greatly increases the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the device (as different specifications of positioning molds need to be stored). Therefore, it is necessary to improve this design. Utility Model Content

[0056] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0057] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention.
[0058] The embodiments of the utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0059] Reference Figures 1-6 This utility model discloses an elastic buckle rope threading machine for conveniently threading ropes into elastic buckles. The elastic buckle rope threading machine includes:
[0060] Base plate 1;
[0061] Placement seat 2 is located on the upper surface of base plate 1 to accommodate spring buckle 5;
[0062] The snap-fit module 3 is disposed on the base plate 1 and adjacent to the placement seat 2. The snap-fit module 3 includes at least one pressing head 331 and a first drive mechanism 33 for driving the pressing head 331 to move up and down in the vertical direction.
[0063] The rope-threading module 4 includes at least a hook needle 45 and a second drive mechanism 43 for driving the hook needle 45 to move left and right in the horizontal direction.
[0064] When the elastic buckle 5 is placed in the placement seat 2, the pressure head 331 in the buckle module 3 presses the elastic buckle 5, and the hook needle 45 in the rope threading module 4 drives the rope 6 to move so that the rope 6 passes through the elastic buckle 5, thereby completing the rope threading action.
[0065] In one application scenario of this utility model, in order to place the elastic buckle 5 more conveniently, the placement base 2 is provided with a receiving hole 211 for accommodating the elastic buckle 5. The shape and size of the receiving hole 211 are adapted to the shape of the elastic buckle 5.
[0066] Specifically, the placement seat 2 includes:
[0067] Multiple thin plates 21 with receiving holes 211;
[0068] At least one blind plate 22;
[0069] Multiple thin plates 21 and at least one blind plate 22 can be stacked and combined to form a placement seat 2 with different hole depths.
[0070] To accommodate elastic buckles 5 of different specifications, the placement base 2 is composed of multiple thin plates 21 stacked together. Each thin plate 21 has a basically uniform thickness and size, and each thin plate 21 has a hole. This allows for flexible selection of the specific number of thin plates 21 according to the specific dimensions of the elastic buckle 5. The stacked thin plates 21 form the placement base 2, and the multiple holes form receiving holes 211. Obviously, in order to hold the elastic buckle 5 from the bottom, one of the multiple thin plates 21 should be a blind plate 22 (i.e., a plate without a hole). Therefore, in this embodiment, the placement base 2 can select different thin plates 21 according to the different specifications of the elastic buckle 5. The holes on the thin plates 21 can vary in diameter in a series. Only multiple different thin plates 21 need to be prepared to form different combinations to meet the needs of multiple elastic buckles 5 of different specifications.
[0071] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the first drive mechanism 33 and / or the second drive mechanism 43 are cylinders.
[0072] In one embodiment of this utility model, the snap-fit module 3 further includes:
[0073] A portal frame 31 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1;
[0074] A connecting plate 32 is connected to the portal frame 31;
[0075] The first drive mechanism 33 is connected to the connecting plate 32.
[0076] In some embodiments of this utility model, a sliding groove 311 is provided on the portal frame 31;
[0077] A slide rail 321 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 32 facing the portal frame 31;
[0078] The connecting plate 32 is slidably connected to the portal frame 31 through the cooperation of the slide groove 311 and the slide rail 321;
[0079] The introduction of this sliding structure allows for adjustment of the distance between the first drive mechanism 33 and the placement seat 2 by adjusting the distance between the connecting plate 32 and the placement seat 2, thus accommodating different types of elastic buckles 5. It also reduces the wasted time of excessive stroke by precisely controlling the stroke of the first drive mechanism 33, ultimately improving the efficiency of threading the elastic buckle 5.
[0080] In one embodiment of this utility model, the threading module 4 further includes:
[0081] A fixing bracket 41 is disposed on the upper surface of the base plate 1;
[0082] A connecting seat 42 is connected to the fixing frame 41;
[0083] The second drive mechanism 43 is connected to the connecting seat 42.
[0084] To facilitate adjustment of the position of the connecting seat 42 on the fixing frame 41, a sliding groove 411 is provided on the fixing frame 41;
[0085] A slide rail 421 is provided on the side of the connecting seat 42 facing the fixed frame 41;
[0086] The connecting seat 42 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 41 through the mutual cooperation of the slide groove 411 and the slide rail 421;
[0087] The introduction of this sliding structure can adjust the distance between the fixed frame 41, the second drive mechanism 43, the hook needle connector 44 and the placement seat 2 respectively, and ultimately adjust the distance between the hook needle 45 and the elastic buckle 5. It can not only adapt to different types of elastic buckles 5 and precisely control the movement stroke to improve efficiency, but also extend the movement range of the hook needle 45 to meet the rope threading needs of ropes 6 of different lengths.
[0088] In one embodiment of this utility model, the elastic buckle threading machine further includes:
[0089] One-hook rope needle connector 44;
[0090] The hook needle 45 is connected to the working end of the second drive mechanism 43 via the hook needle connector 44.
[0091] Specifically, the hook and cord connector 44 consists of an upper plate 441 and a lower plate 442 that can be interlocked together. Multiple slots 443 for accommodating hook and cord needles 45 are provided between the upper plate 441 and the lower plate 442. This not only improves the replacement efficiency of the hook and cord needles 45, but also allows for easy installation of the hook and cord needles 45 in the multiple slots 443 to meet the cord threading needs of current and future new multi-row elastic buckles 5, thus broadening the application scenarios. For example... Figure 3 As shown, two hook and loop needles 45 can be arranged to accommodate double-row elastic buckles 5.
[0092] In the above embodiments of this utility model, before the rope threading operation, firstly, the thin plate 21 is adjusted so that the receiving hole 211 is adapted to the size and shape of the elastic buckle 5; secondly, the relative position of the connecting plate 32 is adjusted so that the pressure head 331 and the elastic buckle 5 have an appropriate distance to balance the safety of the operator and the efficiency of rope threading; then, the number and relative position of the hook needles 45 are adjusted according to the type of elastic buckle 5 and the length of the rope 6; finally, the relative position of the connecting seat 42 is adjusted to balance the safety of the operator and the efficiency of rope threading. When threading the rope, the operator first manually places the elastic buckle 5 into the receiving hole 211 in the placement seat 2. Then, the operator activates the first drive mechanism 33 by stepping on the foot control switch, which drives the pressure head 331 to press down on the male buckle of the elastic buckle 5, making its buckle hole open. Then, the second drive mechanism 43 is activated, which drives the hook needle 45 on the hook needle connector 44 to move towards the elastic buckle 5 until the hook needle 45 passes through the buckle hole of the elastic buckle 5. Finally, the operator manually places the rope 6 on the hook needle 45, lifts their foot to close the foot control switch, and at this time, the second drive mechanism 43 automatically pulls the hook needle 45 with the rope 6 to the other side of the elastic buckle 5. The first drive mechanism 33 then automatically resets, and the threading operation of one elastic buckle 5 is thus completed.
[0093] The elastic buckle rope threading machine provided by this utility model has been described in detail above. Specific embodiments have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
