Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fabric cutting and stacking technology, and more specifically to a fabric cutting and stacking system. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of garment fabrics, to facilitate fabric transportation, cutting equipment is typically used to cut long fabrics into shorter pieces. These shorter pieces are then neatly stacked together, reducing packaging space. Furthermore, shorter pieces are easier for designers to cut into different shapes, making them more convenient to use. For example, a cutting device for highly breathable cotton and linen fabrics, disclosed in patent application CN220538242U, uses a transverse cylinder to drive cutting blades within a groove to cut the fabric.

[0003] However, the existing technologies mentioned above still have the following problems when used: the fabric production process requires the use of multiple equipment and multiple processing steps, which can easily lead to cracks and breaks on the fabric surface. Directly cutting the fabric with cutting equipment and then stacking and storing it makes it difficult for staff to screen out problematic fabrics, which will create hidden dangers for subsequent fabric processing and affect product quality and production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art, this utility model provides a fabric cutting and stacking system that automatically cuts fabric using a fiber laser cutting head, simultaneously uses an industrial camera to detect surface defects in the fabric, and uses a feeding fixture and two material boxes to store the fabric separately. While inspecting the fabric for quality, it can also automatically distinguish between good and defective fabrics, effectively improving the production efficiency of fabric and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fabric cutting and stacking system, including a frame, inside which a feeding clamp for conveying fabric is fixedly installed, and inside the frame are a detection mechanism and a cutting mechanism. The detection mechanism includes two long plates located at the front of the frame, respectively above and below the fabric. Multiple industrial cameras are installed on the side of the two long plates that are close to each other, and the side of the two long plates that are far apart are fixed to the frame by an electric push rod. The cutting mechanism includes a fiber laser cutting head, which is installed inside the frame by a linear motor module. At the bottom of the frame is a stacking mechanism for collecting fabric.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the feeding fixture includes a first limiting frame plate and a second limiting frame plate. Clamping plates are slidably provided inside both the first and second limiting frame plates. Electric push rods are fixedly inserted through the tops of both the first and second limiting frame plates. The bottom end of the piston rod of the electric push rod is connected to the top of the clamping plate.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the first limiting frame plate is detachably installed inside the frame, and the second limiting frame plate is installed on both sides of the inner wall of the frame via a linear motor module. The linear motor module can drive the automatic adjustment of the position of the second limiting frame plate, thereby pulling the fabric for cutting.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, multiple industrial cameras are evenly distributed on a long plate, and each industrial camera is detachably connected to the long plate by fastening bolts. Setting up multiple industrial cameras enables comprehensive imaging and inspection of the upper and lower surfaces of the fabric.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the stacking mechanism includes a base that is detachably connected to a frame. Two material boxes are fixedly provided on the top of the base, and pads are slidably provided inside each of the two material boxes. The pads can support the cut fabric, thereby allowing a large amount of fabric to be neatly stacked on the pads.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, both sides of the pad are connected to a linear motor module three for driving the pad to rise and fall. The linear motor module three is detachably installed on the material box. The linear motor module three can automatically adjust the height of the pad, so that the fabric can be neatly stacked in the material box and the staff can easily pick up the fabric, thereby improving the material picking efficiency.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, two sets of conveying roller mechanisms are fixedly provided at the front end of the frame. The two sets of conveying roller mechanisms are respectively located in front of and behind the long plate. Each set of conveying roller mechanisms includes two electric rollers distributed vertically. When the two electric rollers rotate, they can convey the fabric into the frame.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model uses industrial cameras on two long plates to detect the upper and lower surfaces of the fabric in real time. When no abnormality is detected on the fabric surface, the fiber laser cutting head cuts the fabric, and the fabric will automatically fall into the storage box. Once an abnormality is detected on the fabric surface, the fabric is automatically transported to another storage box by the limiting frame after being cut. This utility model can not only detect the quality of the fabric, but also automatically distinguish between good and defective fabrics, effectively improving the production efficiency of the fabric.

[0014] 2. The linear motor module drives the automatic lifting of the pad, which can neatly stack the cut fabric in the material box. At the same time, when the pad rises, it can remove the stacked fabric from the material box, making it convenient for workers to quickly pick up the fabric and thus further improving the production efficiency of the fabric.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1-5This utility model provides a fabric cutting and stacking system, including a frame 1. The frame 1 is provided with a feeding fixture 2 for conveying fabric. Specifically, the feeding fixture 2 includes a first limiting frame plate 21 and a second limiting frame plate 22. Clamping plates 23 are slidably provided inside the first limiting frame plate 21 and the second limiting frame plate 22. Electric push rods 24 are fixedly inserted through the top of the first limiting frame plate 21 and the top of the second limiting frame plate 22. The bottom end of the piston rod of the second electric push rod 24 is connected to the top of the clamping plate 23. The first limiting frame plate 21 is detachably installed inside the frame 1. Both sides of the second limiting frame plate 22 are installed on the inner wall of the frame 1 through linear motor modules 25.

[0026] Next, a detection mechanism 3 and a cutting mechanism 4 are provided inside the frame 1. The detection mechanism 3 includes two long plates 31 located in front of the frame 1, with the two long plates 31 positioned above and below the fabric, respectively. Multiple industrial cameras 32 are provided on the side of the two long plates 31 that are close to each other. The industrial cameras 32 are Hikvision MV-CH430-61CM-F-TF. The side of the two long plates 31 that are far apart from each other is fixed to the frame 1 by an electric push rod 33. The cutting mechanism 4 includes a fiber laser cutting head 41, which is installed inside the frame 1 by a linear motor module 42.

[0027] In this embodiment, a stacking mechanism 5 for collecting fabric is provided at the bottom of the frame 1. The stacking mechanism 5 includes a base 51, which is detachably connected to the frame 1. Two material boxes 52 are fixedly provided on the top of the base 51, and a pad 53 is slidably provided inside each of the two material boxes 52.

[0028] In this embodiment, two sets of conveying roller mechanisms 6 are fixedly provided at the front end of the frame 1. The two sets of conveying roller mechanisms 6 are respectively located in front of and behind the long plate 31. Each set of conveying roller mechanisms 6 includes two electric rollers 61 distributed vertically.

[0029] In actual use, the fabric is conveyed by two vertically distributed electric rollers 61 to the limit frame plate 1 21. At the same time, the limit frame plate 22 moves to the rear of the limit frame plate 1 21. The clamping plate 23 in the limit frame plate 22 clamps the fabric. Then, the linear motor module 25 drives the limit frame plate 22 to move backward, pulling the fabric slowly into the machine frame 1. During this process, the industrial cameras 32 on the two long plates 31 take real-time pictures of the upper and lower surfaces of the fabric. Through vision technology and image processing technology, the captured fabric images are analyzed and processed to achieve automatic detection of the fabric surface.

[0030] When fabric with surface cracks or breaks is detected, the second limiting frame plate 22 pulls the fabric to a position below the fiber laser cutting head 41. The linear motor module 42 drives the fiber laser cutting head 41 to move. The fiber laser cutting head 41 focuses the high-energy-density laser beam emitted by the fiber laser onto the fabric surface through a focusing lens, causing the material in the irradiated area to melt and vaporize instantly. Simultaneously, auxiliary gas is sprayed through nozzles to blow the molten and vaporized material away from the cutting area, thus cutting the fabric. Then, the second limiting frame plate 22 continues to move the fabric closer to the frame 1. After the material box 52 is above the rear, the clamping plate 23 in the limiting frame plate 22 moves upward, causing the fabric waste to fall onto the pad 53 in the material box 52. When the fabric surface is found to be without problems, the fabric is cut by the fiber laser cutting head 41. The pad 53 in the material box 52 near the front of the frame 1 moves to the bottom of the fabric. At the same time, the clamping plate 23 in the limiting frame plate 22 loosens its fixation on the fabric, leaving the fabric on the pad 53. This process is repeated to achieve automatic stacking of the fabric. After the processing is completed, the operator pushes the base 51 out of the frame 1 to retrieve the good fabric and the fabric waste.

[0031] In this embodiment, multiple industrial cameras 32 are evenly distributed on the long plate 31. Each industrial camera 32 is detachably connected to the long plate 31 by fastening bolts. Setting multiple industrial cameras 32 can perform comprehensive shooting and inspection of the upper and lower surfaces of the fabric.

[0032] like Figure 1-3 As shown, linear motor modules 54 for driving the raising and lowering of the pad 53 are connected to both sides of the pad 53. The linear motor modules 54 are detachably installed on the material box 52. The linear motor modules 54 can automatically adjust the height of the pad 53, so that the fabric can be neatly stacked in the material box 52. When the staff needs to take the fabric, the pad 53 automatically rises to push the stacked fabric out of the material box 52 without manual operation, thereby improving the material retrieval efficiency.

[0033] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
