Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of sewing auxiliary equipment technology, specifically relating to a waist width positioning fixture. Background Technology
[0002] The waistband typically refers to a section of clothing around the waist, and is an integral part of the garment's overall structure and appearance. In garment making, the waistband generally refers to the fabric or layer of cloth used to wrap around the waist. It serves functions such as decoration, securing the belt, and connecting with other parts of the garment (such as the bodice). For example, in Chinese clothing, the waistband may feature exquisite embroidery or decorative patterns; in Western clothing, the material and style of the waistband can vary depending on the design.
[0003] During processing, waistbands require folding to control their width to meet the style requirements of garments. In factories, folding is generally done manually or mechanically, followed by ironing to shape the waistband. Manual folding uses garment rulers or rigid plastic sheets for assistance, but the process is cumbersome, inefficient, and results in low production productivity. Furthermore, the quality of waistband folding depends heavily on the skill level of the employees. Mechanical folding requires placing the waistband on specific machinery, which requires maintenance and repair. This increases the cost of using the equipment for small-batch waistband production. Mechanical folding is only suitable for mass production of specific types and shapes of waistbands. For soft materials such as silk, folding can easily cause stretching and deformation, leading to damage to the waistband. It also lacks flexibility. When multiple types of waistbands need to be produced, the machinery requires frequent adjustments, resulting in low ease of use. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a waist-width positioning fixture, which aims to solve the technical problems of slow manual folding efficiency, poor flexibility of mechanical folding, and high processing cost for small batch waist surfaces in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:
[0006] A waist-surface width positioning fixture is provided, comprising an installation body and a folding piece. The installation body is mounted on a processing platform. An input port and a shaping port are spaced apart along the sliding direction of the waist-surface on the installation body. The width of the input port is greater than the width of the shaping port. The folding piece is provided with a bending end and a connecting end in sequence along the sliding direction of the waist-surface. The width of the bending end is greater than the width of the connecting end. The connecting end is connected to the side wall of the shaping port away from the input port. The corner of the bending end can fit against the waist-surface, so that the side of the waist-surface is folded towards the center under the guidance of the corner of the bending end.
[0007] In one possible implementation, fixing blocks are connected to both sides of the bottom surface of the mounting body, the fixing blocks are mounted on the processing platform, and gaps are left between the input port and the processing platform, and between the shaping port and the processing platform.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the mounting body and the folding piece are integrally manufactured, and both the mounting body and the folding piece are made of plastic or metal.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the corners of the bent end are rounded.
[0010] In one possible implementation, a bent edge is formed on the end face of the shaping port connected to the connecting end, and the side face folded towards the center on the waist face is defined as the folded edge, the length of which is equal to the width of the folded edge on the waist face.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the width of the input port is equal to the sum of the width of the shaping port and the length of the bent edges located on both sides of the connecting end.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the mounting body is further provided with an output port, which is spaced apart from the shaping port along the waist surface moving direction, and the output port is located on the side of the shaping port away from the input port.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the width of the output port is equal to the width of the shaping port.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the bottom surface of the fixing block forms an adhesive surface.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the waist width positioning fixture further includes a support block, which is detachably mounted on the mounting body and located between the input port and the shaping port. The top of the support block is provided with a guide groove along the sliding direction of the waist surface, and the guide groove slides and fits against the lower surface of the waist surface.
[0016] The waist width positioning fixture provided in this application, compared with the prior art, offers a fixture that works in conjunction with manual folding. The waist surface passes through the input port from bottom to top, and then through the shaping port from top to bottom. When the waist surface passes through the shaping port, it engages with the side of the folding piece, causing the two sides of the waist surface to fold automatically, thereby adjusting the overall width of the waist surface. The waist surface output from the shaping port is pre-folded and can be easily shaped using an ironing machine. The entire process does not require manual folding of the waist surface; it only requires manual movement of the waist surface along a preset direction. The operation is simple and can significantly improve work efficiency. When processing waist surfaces on a small scale, no specific mechanical equipment is required, reducing operating costs.

Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0034] It should be noted that the terms "length," "width," "height," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "head," and "tail," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not 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 on the application.

[0038] In existing technologies, to increase the folding efficiency and ensure the folding quality of the waist panel 6, multiple waist panels 6 are typically connected end-to-end, and folded step-by-step along the folding trajectory. This fixture is suitable for small enterprises and garment production and processing with a small production scale. In such scenarios, using this fixture saves a significant amount of production costs compared to machining.
[0039] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5The following describes the waist width positioning fixture provided in this application. The waist width positioning fixture includes an installation body 1 and a folding piece 2. The installation body 1 is mounted on a processing platform. The installation body 1 has an input port 11 and a shaping port 12 spaced apart along the sliding direction of the waist surface 6. The width of the input port 11 is greater than the width of the shaping port 12. The folding piece 2 has a bending section and a connecting end in sequence along the sliding direction of the waist surface 6. The width of the bending end is greater than the width of the connecting end. The connecting end is connected to the side wall of the shaping port 12 away from the input port 11. The corner of the bending end can fit against the waist surface 6, so that the side of the waist surface 6 can be folded towards its center under the guidance of the corner of the bending end.
[0040] It should be noted that this fixture is installed at the front end of the ironing machine, and the ironing process begins immediately from the folded waist side 6 of this fixture, improving the continuity of the process.
[0041] For specific implementation, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The solid arrow in the middle indicates the direction of movement of the waist surface 6.
[0042] It should be noted that during processing, the waist panel 6 is generally held down by a ruler, and the waist panel 6 is manually folded along one side of the ruler. The folded edge is defined as the folded edge. To achieve the folding of the waist panel 6, it is necessary to complete the folding first, and then iron it. The folding and ironing steps need to be completed by employees in sequence.
[0043] The working principle of this application is as follows: the waist surface 6 passes through the input port 11 from bottom to top, and then through the shaping port 12. The side of the folding piece 2 fits against the waist surface 6. The waist surface 6 is folded along the corner of the folding end of the folding piece 5. After folding, the waist surface 6 wraps around the folding piece 2 and exits from the shaping port 12 in a folded posture. Under the action of the folding piece 2, the waist surface 6 automatically folds to the required size, eliminating the manual folding step. Employees can simply pull the waist surface 6 along the sliding direction, saving the manual folding step and improving processing efficiency. (See reference...) Figure 2 and Figure 5 The shaded area on the waist surface 6 is the back side of the waist surface 6, and the blank area on the waist surface 6 is the front side of the waist surface 6.
[0044] In practice, the folding piece 5 has a trapezoidal structure, and the length of the bent end is greater than the length of the connecting end.
[0045] Compared with the prior art, the waist width positioning fixture provided in this embodiment provides a fixture that works in conjunction with manual folding. The waist surface 6 is passed through the input port 11 from bottom to top, and then through the shaping port 12 from top to bottom. When the waist surface 6 passes through the shaping port 12, the waist surface 6 cooperates with the side of the folding piece 2, so that the two sides of the waist surface 6 are automatically folded, thereby adjusting the overall width of the waist surface 6. The waist surface 6 output from the shaping port 12 has been pre-folded and can be easily shaped using an ironing machine. The whole process does not require manual folding of the waist surface 6. It is only necessary to manually move the waist surface 6 along the preset direction. The operation is simple and can greatly improve work efficiency. When processing waist surfaces 6 on a small scale, there is no need to use specific mechanical equipment, reducing the cost of use.
[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The mounting body 1 has fixing blocks 3 connected to both sides of its bottom surface. The fixing blocks 3 are mounted on the processing platform, with gaps between the input port 11 and the processing platform, and between the shaping port 12 and the processing platform. The fixing blocks 3 can lift the shaping port 12 and the input port 11. The gaps facilitate the worker's guidance of the waist nipple 6 through the input port 11 and the shaping port 12 sequentially along a preset path. The worker can easily pull the waist nipple 6, ensuring that the folding operation of the waist nipple 6 can proceed normally. The fixing blocks 3 provide stable support, enhancing the stability of the mounting body during operation, preventing it from shaking or tilting, and ensuring the normal operation of the entire system.
[0047] In practice, the processing platform is the factory's processing platform.
[0048] In practice, the fixing block 3 can be bonded to the bottom surface of the mounting body 1 with adhesive, or it can be manufactured as a single piece.
[0049] In some embodiments, the mounting body 1 and the folding piece 2 are integrally manufactured, both made of plastic or metal. The integral manufacturing of the mounting body 1 and the folding piece 2 results in strong structural stability. This integral molding ensures a tight and stable connection between the mounting body 1 and the folding piece 2, preventing structural instability caused by loosening at the connection point. It better meets various stress requirements during use, improving product reliability and durability. Traditional assembly processes are eliminated, reducing production costs and assembly difficulty. Furthermore, the high strength and hardness of metal, combined with integral molding, fully utilizes its material properties, giving the mounting body 1 and the folding piece 2 stronger load-bearing capacity and resistance to deformation.
[0050] In practice, the folding piece 2 and the mounting body 1 are made of the same material. When the folding piece 2 and the mounting body 1 are made of plastic, they are cut and formed from a single piece of plastic sheet. When the folding piece 2 and the mounting body 1 are made of metal, they are cast and formed from a single piece of metal sheet.
[0051] In practice, transparent plastic can be used to increase visibility.
[0052] In practice, the main body 1 and the folding piece 2 can also be made of acrylic material, as long as they can be molded in one piece. They will not be listed one by one here.
[0053] The tooling of this application is low in cost and easy to manufacture, and can be quickly produced in various sizes to meet the requirements.
[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The corners of the bent ends are rounded. Rounding the corners can remove sharp edges and corners, reduce the risk of scratching or cutting the waist surface 6, avoid scratching the waist surface 6, and reduce losses.
[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A bent edge 121 is formed on the end face of the shaping port 12 connected to the connecting end. The side of the waist surface 6 that folds towards the center is defined as the folding edge 61. The length of the bent edge 121 is equal to the width of the folding edge 61 of the waist surface 6. The bent edge 121 fits against the folding edge 61 of the waist surface 6, limiting the folding width of the waist surface 6, facilitating stable folding of the waist surface 6, and the folding trajectory is parallel to the moving direction of the waist surface 6.
[0056] In some embodiments, the width of the input port 11 is equal to the sum of the width of the shaping port 12 and the length of the bending edges 121 located on both sides of the connecting end. To ensure stable folding of the waist surface 6, the width of the input port 11 is set to the width of the waist surface 6. After the waist surface 6 passes through the input port 11, it can move stably. The width of the shaping port 12 is the same as the width of the folded waist surface 6. The length of the bending edges limits the width of the folded edge 61 of the waist surface 6. Through the cooperation of the input port 11, the shaping port 12 and the folding piece 2, the width of the waist surface 6 is limited, which improves the folding accuracy and folding quality, and improves the ease of use.
[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The mounting body 1 is also equipped with an output port 13. The output port 13 and the shaping port 12 are spaced apart along the moving direction of the waist surface 6, and the output port 13 is located on the side of the shaping port 12 away from the input port 11. The output port 13 guides the folded waist surface 6 out of the mounting body 1 to facilitate subsequent ironing operations. The output port 13 can also limit the waist surface 6 to ensure that it remains in its folded state, making it convenient for employees to iron. The output port 13, shaping port 12, and input port 11 limit the waist surface 6 to ensure that the waist surface 6 extends out of the mounting body 1 in a folded form after being folded.
[0058] In some embodiments, the width of the output port 13 is equal to the width of the shaping port 12. The width of the output port 13 is the same as the width of the shaping port 12, so that after the waist surface 6 is folded under the action of the folding piece 2, it will not deform at the output port 13 and can maintain the folded posture. When the output port 13 outputs the waist surface 6, it can prevent the waist surface 6 from shaking and also prevent the folded edge 61 of the waist surface 6 from resetting.
[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The bottom surface of the fixing block 3 forms the adhesive surface 5. The adhesive surface 5 enables the fixing block 3 to be stably connected to the processing platform, improving its stability during use.
[0060] In practice, the material of the bonding surface 5 can be epoxy resin or polyurethane adhesive, which is convenient for fixing the fixing block 3 and the processing platform. Double-sided tape can also be used.
[0061] In practical use, first pass one end of the waist panel 6 through the input port 11, shaping port 12 and output port 13 in sequence according to the preset trajectory, and then install the main body 1 on the processing platform, so that employees can pull the waist panel 6 to automatically fold while ironing, reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The waist width positioning fixture also includes a support block 4, which is detachably mounted on the mounting body 1 and located between the input port 11 and the shaping port 12. The top of the support block 4 has a guide groove 41 along the sliding direction of the waist surface 6, and the guide groove 41 slides and fits against the lower surface of the waist surface 6. When the support block 4 is placed on the mounting body 1, it can arch the waist surface 6, causing it to approach the folding piece 2 from top to bottom and bend and fold accordingly on both sides. As the waist surface 6 is pulled out, its two sides automatically bend to fold along the side of the folding piece 2, wrapping the folding piece 2 and increasing ease of use. The guide groove 41 restricts the movement direction of the waist surface 6, preventing it from shifting and failing to fold along the preset folding trajectory, thus ensuring folding quality.
[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
