Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing production equipment, specifically to a processing device for the pleats of the bra's center gore area. Background Technology

[0002] In the design of seamless bras for women, the center gore area usually needs to be pleated. This design not only provides good support and lift for the breasts, but also increases the bra's decorative appeal, enhancing its overall quality and aesthetics.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, the formation of pleats in the bra's center gore area primarily relies on manual operation using traditional hot press machines to heat-press the bra against the webbing. Specifically, this traditional method requires two or more people working together. For example, one person is responsible for pulling the bra to the correct position and then pulling and tightening the webbing to ensure the webbing's position and tension meet requirements during heat pressing; another person operates the hot press machine. Only through such multi-person cooperation can the pleat design of the bra's center gore area be completed. This traditional manual operation method has significant drawbacks. First, it is inefficient, requiring a large workforce, increasing production costs, and the lack of coordination among multiple people can further affect processing efficiency. Second, because manual operation makes it difficult to precisely control the pulling force and position of the webbing, as well as the heat pressing time and temperature, the degree of pleating becomes inconsistent, affecting the quality and appearance consistency of the bra, and failing to meet the high-quality and standardized requirements of modern bra production.

[0004] Therefore, overcoming the aforementioned shortcomings has become an important issue that urgently needs to be addressed by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technology and provides a processing device for the pleats of the bra's center gore.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A processing device for bra center gore pleats includes a frame, on which are arranged a hot pressing station, a hot pressing mechanism, a webbing pressing mechanism, a webbing tensioning mechanism, a temperature control mechanism, and a control panel. The hot pressing station provides a hot pressing platform for the bra and webbing to be processed. The hot pressing mechanism presses the bra and webbing together at the hot pressing station. The webbing pressing mechanism presses the webbing. The webbing tensioning mechanism is connected to the webbing pressing mechanism and is used to stretch and tension the webbing on the webbing pressing mechanism. The temperature control mechanism is connected to the hot pressing mechanism and is used to control the temperature of the hot pressing mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the hot pressing station includes a fixed platform mounted on the frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the hot pressing mechanism includes a lower heating module installed on the hot pressing station and an upper heating module connected to the frame. The upper end of the upper heating module is connected to the frame through a first cylinder, which is used to drive the upper heating module to move downward and close the mold with the lower heating module.

[0010] Furthermore, the webbing pressing mechanism includes symmetrically arranged support platforms. The support platform includes a support frame and a support plate. A second cylinder is connected to the support frame. A pressure plate is connected to the front end of the second cylinder. The second cylinder is used to drive the pressure plate to move downward and abut against the support plate to press the webbing on the support plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the webbing tensioning mechanism includes a third cylinder mounted on the frame and located between two support platforms, one of the support platforms being connected to the third cylinder and being able to move closer to / away from the other support platform under the drive of the third cylinder, the other support platform being fixedly connected to the frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the temperature control mechanism includes a first temperature control module for controlling the lower heating module and a second temperature control module for controlling the upper heating module. The first temperature control module includes a first temperature controller, and the second temperature control module includes a second temperature controller.

[0013] Furthermore, the control panel includes a first panel and a second panel for adjusting and displaying temperature control mechanism data, a mode switching switch, a start button, and an emergency stop button. The first panel can also be used to display the hot pressing time of the hot pressing mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the processing equipment for bra center gore pleating also includes a foot pedal connected to the control panel for controlling the start and stop of the equipment.

[0015] Furthermore, the processing equipment for bra center gore pleating also includes a spare button panel connected to one side of the frame. The spare button panel includes a stop button, a hot pressing mechanism start / stop button, a webbing tensioning mechanism start / stop button, a first webbing pressing mechanism start / stop button, and a second webbing pressing mechanism start / stop button.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] The processing equipment provided in this case for pleating the center gore area of ​​bras achieves automatic pressing and tightening of the webbing by setting up a webbing pressing mechanism and a webbing tensioning mechanism. This eliminates the need for manual pulling of the webbing, reducing labor input and improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, the temperature control mechanism can precisely control the temperature of the hot pressing mechanism, and the pressing process of the hot pressing mechanism can also be automatically controlled to achieve precise pressure and time control, thereby ensuring that the degree of pleating formed by each hot pressing is consistent, improving the processing quality and appearance consistency of the bras. Furthermore, the entire equipment is automatically controlled through a control panel, making it easy to operate, reducing the labor intensity and technical requirements for operators, and suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0019] Figure 2 This is the second perspective view of the equipment used for processing the bra's center gore pleats in this case.

[0020] Figure 3 This is a structural diagram of the bra in this case. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The following examples provide a more detailed description of the features and other related characteristics of this utility model, to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art:

[0022] In the design of seamless bras for women, the center gore area typically requires pleats to provide good support and lift for the breasts, while also enhancing the bra's decorative appeal. Specifically:

[0023] Ruffles are a common decorative element that adds detail and dimension to bras. Designing ruffles at the center gore can make a bra look more refined and elegant, enhancing its overall aesthetics and style. This satisfies women's aesthetic needs for lingerie, making the bra not just a functional garment but also a decorative fashion item.

[0024] The shape and contour of the breasts vary from person to person. The pleats at the center gore can better adapt to the curves and undulations of different women's breasts through their elasticity and adjustability. Especially for women whose breasts are not regular in shape or whose breasts have special curves where they connect to the body, the pleats can play a role in cushioning and fine-tuning, making the bra fit the body better, reducing discomfort and improving wearing comfort.

[0025] The pleats can increase the thickness and strength of the center gore, thus providing extra support for the breasts. Especially for women with larger breasts or who need more support, the pleats can help distribute the weight of the breasts, reduce pressure on the shoulders and back, and make the bra's support more even and stable, helping to maintain the breasts' uprightness and prevent sagging.

[0026] When making bras, pleats can be used as a flexible design element, allowing for adjustments to bra size within a certain range. For example, for the same style of bra, by increasing or decreasing the number of pleats at the center gore or adjusting the tightness of the pleats, the bra can be made suitable for women with different bust sizes or shapes without changing the overall design, thus improving the bra's fit and versatility.

[0027] The purpose of this invention is to provide a processing device for creating center gore pleats in bras, addressing the problems of low efficiency and inconsistent pleat quality in existing technologies. Through automated design, it achieves efficient and precise heat pressing of the bra and webbing, thereby forming consistently high-quality center gore pleats.

[0028] Specifically, for ease of understanding, please refer to... Figure 3 As shown in the description, in Figure 3 The diagram below shows the structure of bra 200 in this case, which is also a common structural diagram of seamless bras on the market. Label 300 shows the structure of the webbing after stretching but before cutting, while the dotted area of ​​label 301 shows the state of the webbing after heat pressing to form pleats 202, after cutting off the remaining webbing at both ends. Label 201 represents the center gore of bra 200, and label 202 represents the pleats formed after heat pressing of webbing 300 and bra 200.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 3As shown, this invention provides a processing device for creating pleats in the center gore area of ​​a bra, including a frame 100. The frame 100, as the basic support component of the device, possesses sufficient rigidity and stability, providing an installation reference for subsequent mechanisms and ensuring the relative positional accuracy of each mechanism. The frame 100 is equipped with a hot pressing station 1, a hot pressing mechanism 2, a webbing pressing mechanism 3, a webbing tensioning mechanism 4, a temperature control mechanism 5, and a control panel 6. The hot pressing station 1 provides a hot pressing platform for the bra 200 and webbing 300 to be processed, ensuring uniform force during pressing. The hot pressing mechanism 2 presses the bra 200 and webbing 300 on the hot pressing station 1, bonding the webbing 300 to the center gore area of ​​the bra 200 through heating and pressure, while simultaneously forming a preset pleat shape. The webbing pressing mechanism 3 presses the webbing 300, applying pressure to both ends or edges of the webbing 300 to fix its initial position and prevent displacement or pleats during tensioning. The webbing tensioning mechanism 4 is connected to the webbing pressing mechanism 3 and is used to stretch and tighten the webbing 300 on the webbing pressing mechanism 3. The webbing tensioning mechanism 4 applies a constant tension to the already pressed webbing 300, keeping it in a taut state, providing a tension basis for the formation of uniform wrinkles during hot pressing, and avoiding uneven depth of wrinkles 202. The temperature control mechanism 5 is connected to the hot pressing mechanism 2 and is used to control the temperature of the hot pressing mechanism 2, precisely controlling the heating temperature of the hot pressing mechanism 2 to avoid excessively high temperatures causing fabric carbonization or excessively low temperatures causing weak adhesion, while also ensuring sufficient melting in conjunction with the pressing time.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the hot pressing station 1 includes a fixed platform 11 mounted on the frame 100. The fixed platform 11 provides a flat placement position for the bra 200 and provides a platform for the hot pressing operation.

[0031] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the hot pressing mechanism 2 includes a lower heating module 21 installed on the hot pressing station 1 and an upper heating module 22 connected to the frame 100. The upper end of the upper heating module 22 is connected to the frame 100 via a first cylinder 23, which drives the upper heating module 22 to move downward and close with the lower heating module 21. In specific implementation, the lower heating module 21 is installed on the hot pressing station 1 and consists of a metal frame plate and a heating rod disposed within the metal frame plate. The metal frame plate has a certain strength and thermal conductivity, which can evenly transfer the heat generated by the heating rod. It provides a bottom heating source for the bra 200 and the webbing 300. During the hot pressing process, the material is heated from below to reach a suitable temperature for pressing, ensuring stable heating and uniform heating, which is beneficial to improving the hot pressing effect and the forming quality of the pleats 202. The upper heating module 22 is connected to the frame 100 and is also composed of a metal frame plate and a heating rod. Located above and corresponding to the lower heating module 21, it heats the bra 200 and webbing 300 from above, cooperating with the lower heating module 21 to achieve simultaneous heating and hot pressing from both above and below. Simultaneous heating from both above and below reaches the required temperature for hot pressing in a short time, improving production efficiency and ensuring more uniform heating of the material, further guaranteeing the consistency of the pleats 202 and the quality of hot pressing. The first cylinder 23 drives the upper heating module 22 downwards, causing it to close with the lower heating module 21, thereby applying pressure to the bra 200 and webbing 300 at the hot pressing station 1 to complete the hot pressing operation. It can precisely control the movement of the upper heating module 22, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the mold closing, thus ensuring uniform pressure application during the hot pressing process, improving the quality of hot pressing and the product qualification rate.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the webbing pressing mechanism 3 includes symmetrically arranged support platforms 31. Each support platform 31 includes a support frame 311 and a support plate 312. A second cylinder 32 is connected to the support frame 311, and a pressure plate 321 is connected to the front end of the second cylinder 32. The second cylinder 32 drives the pressure plate 321 to move downwards and abut against the support plate 312, thereby pressing the webbing 300 on the support plate 312. The support platform 31 provides basic support for the entire webbing pressing mechanism 3. The second cylinder 32 is mounted on the support frame 311, forming an integral structure with the support platform 31. The pressure plate 321 moves under the drive of the second cylinder 32 by connecting to the front end of the second cylinder 32. When it is necessary to press the webbing 300, the control panel 6 issues a command, the second cylinder 32 actuates, driving the pressure plate 321 downwards so that it fits tightly against the support plate 312, thereby pressing the webbing 300. The symmetrically arranged support platform and the stable structure of the second cylinder 32 driving the pressure plate 321 can accurately position and press the webbing 300, preventing displacement of the webbing 300 during hot pressing. This improves the forming accuracy of the bra's center gore 201 pleats 202, ensuring a tight fit between the webbing 300 and the bra 200 during hot pressing, thus enhancing the firmness of the hot pressing and the quality of the pleats 202. The cylinder-driven method is simple to operate and provides stable pressing force, reducing the uncertainty of manual operation and improving production efficiency and product quality stability.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the webbing tensioning mechanism 4 includes a third cylinder 41 mounted on the frame 100 and located between two support platforms 31. One support platform 31 is connected to the third cylinder 41 and can move closer to / away from the other support platform 31 under the drive of the third cylinder 41. The other support platform 31 is fixedly connected to the frame 100. The third cylinder 41 is the power core of the entire webbing tensioning mechanism 4. It is mounted on the frame 100 and connected to the movable support platform 31. When the third cylinder 41 is activated, the extension and retraction of the piston rod drives the movable support platform 31 to move. The fixed support platform 31 provides a fixed end for the webbing and works together with the movable support platform 31 to stretch and tension the webbing 300 placed on the two support platforms 31. The webbing pressing mechanism 3 first presses the webbing 300 onto the support platform 31, and then the webbing tensioning mechanism 4 drives the movable support platform 31 through the third cylinder 41 to tension the webbing 300, preparing for the subsequent hot pressing operation. By precisely controlling the tension of the webbing 300, it is ensured that the webbing 300 fits tightly against the bra 200 during the heat-pressing process, resulting in more uniform and aesthetically pleasing pleats 202. This improves the quality and consistency of the pleats 202 at the bra's center gore 201. The cylinder-driven mechanism allows for rapid tightening of the webbing 300, reducing manual operation time and labor intensity, and increasing production efficiency.

[0034] Continue as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the temperature control mechanism 5 includes a first temperature control module for controlling the lower heating module 21 and a second temperature control module for controlling the upper heating module 22. The first temperature control module includes a first temperature controller, and the second temperature control module includes a second temperature controller. The first and second temperature control modules correspond to the lower heating module 21 and the upper heating module 22, respectively, and independently control their temperatures. The first temperature controller is connected to the lower heating module 21 and monitors and adjusts its temperature in real time; the second temperature controller is connected to the upper heating module 22 and monitors and controls its temperature. These two temperature control modules cooperate to provide suitable temperature conditions for the hot pressing mechanism 2. Simultaneously, both can be parameter-set and status-monitored through the control panel 6, achieving automated control of the entire equipment. In specific implementation, the first and second temperature controllers are installed inside the frame 100 (therefore not shown in the figure). By independently controlling the temperature of the upper and lower heating modules, the bra 200 and webbing 300 can be heated more evenly during the hot pressing process, avoiding localized overheating or undercooling. This improves the forming quality of the pleats 202 and the firmness of the hot pressing. Users can set the temperature of the upper and lower heating modules separately according to different bra 200 materials, webbing 300 types, and hot pressing process requirements to meet diverse production needs, improve the equipment's process adaptability, and reduce the instability of the hot pressing effect caused by temperature fluctuations, thereby reducing the defect rate and improving the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the control panel 6 includes a first panel 61 and a second panel 62 for adjusting and displaying data from the temperature control mechanism 5, a mode switch 63, a start button 64, and an emergency stop button 65. The first panel 61 can also display the hot pressing time of the hot pressing mechanism 2. The first panel 61 and the second panel 62 are closely connected to the temperature control mechanism 5 and are used to adjust and display the temperature data of the temperature control mechanism 5. At the same time, the first panel 61 is also related to the hot pressing mechanism 2, displaying the hot pressing time. The mode switch 63 determines the working mode of the equipment. Different working modes will affect the response of the equipment to the start button 64 and the operation of each panel. The start button 64 is the trigger point for the equipment to start running. After being pressed, the equipment will start executing the hot pressing process according to the current working mode and the parameters set on the panel. The emergency stop button 65 is independent of other components. Pressing it under any circumstances will immediately stop the equipment operation and ensure safety. The entire control panel 6 is connected to the various mechanisms of the equipment (hot pressing mechanism 2, webbing pressing mechanism 3, webbing tensioning mechanism 4, and temperature control mechanism 5) through circuitry, realizing centralized control and monitoring of these mechanisms. A single control panel 6 integrates functions such as temperature adjustment, mode switching, start-up, and emergency stop, allowing operators to complete all critical operations from a single location, significantly improving operational convenience and efficiency. The first panel 61 and the second panel 62 can precisely adjust and display key parameters in the hot-pressing process, such as temperature and time, enabling operators to make precise controls according to actual conditions, improving hot-pressing quality and product consistency. The emergency stop button 65 provides reliable safety assurance for equipment operation, allowing for rapid shutdown in emergencies to prevent accidents. The mode switching switch 63 allows the equipment to switch between different operating modes to meet diverse production needs, improving the equipment's adaptability and flexibility.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the processing equipment for bra center gore pleating also includes a foot pedal connected to the control panel 6 for controlling the start and stop of the equipment. The foot pedal and the start button 64 of the control panel 6 are connected in parallel, and both can independently trigger the equipment start program. After receiving the foot pedal signal, the control panel 6 sends action commands to the webbing pressing mechanism 3, tensioning mechanism 4, and hot pressing mechanism 2 according to preset logic. This embodiment provides operators with more start options, ensuring that after adjusting the position of the bra 200 and webbing 300, the operator's foot can naturally reach the pedal without significant body movement. This is because, in practice, some operators found the start button 64 to be too high and inconvenient to press, so a spare foot pedal was provided.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the processing equipment for bra center gore pleating also includes a spare button panel 7 connected to one side of the frame 100. The spare button panel 7 includes a stop button 71, a hot pressing mechanism start / stop button 72, a webbing tensioning mechanism start / stop button 73, a first webbing pressing mechanism start / stop button 74, and a second webbing pressing mechanism start / stop button 75. The first and second webbing pressing mechanism start / stop buttons are used to control the second cylinders 32 on both sides, respectively. The spare button panel 7 is convenient to operate. In practice, it has been found that some operators are not used to the foot pedal start-up method, and the control panel 6 is set too high, making it inconvenient to operate. Therefore, in this embodiment, an additional spare button panel 7 is added. The spare button panel 7 enables manual step-by-step start-up, reducing the difficulty of operation. When step-by-step processing is required, these buttons can be pressed manually one by one. At the same time, for different special bra designs 200, personalized processing can be achieved by individually controlling the pressing force and tension on both sides, filling the standardization limitations of the automatic mode.

[0038] As stated above, this case protects a processing device for pleating the center gore of a bra, and all technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this case should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this case.
