[0021] Secondly, the fabric feeding assembly 2 also includes a motor 203, rotating rods 204, guide rollers 205, and gears 206. The two ends of one set of rotating rods 204 pass through the strip opening and are rotatably connected to the adjacent sides of the movable block 202, respectively. The two ends of another set of rotating rods 204 are rotatably connected to the adjacent sides of the hollow block 1. A motor 203 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of one set of hollow blocks 1. The output shaft of the motor 203 is fixedly connected to one end of the other set of rotating rods 204. The outer walls of the two sets of rotating rods 204 are fixedly connected to the inside of one set of gears 206, and the two sets of gears 206 mesh with each other. A set of guide rollers 205 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the two sets of rotating rods 204, which can adjust the distance between the anti-slip sleeves 4 and enable the two sets of anti-slip sleeves 4 to rotate in opposite directions, which facilitates the conveying of fabric, ensures the guiding effect of the device, and improves the usability and practicality of the device.
