Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial embroidery technology, specifically to a special-shaped embroidery bead feed tube. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the commonly used embroidery beads on embroidery machines are round or rhomboid, with a symmetrical structure on both the top and bottom. However, for some special-shaped beads, such as frustum-shaped beads, whose longitudinal section is approximately trapezoidal, it is necessary to distinguish their orientation when embroidering them onto the fabric. Therefore, the beads falling into the clamping plate must be oriented correctly. While some material cups can distinguish the orientation of the beads, the beads are fed through a guide rod (steel wire) below the material cup. The beads fall directly from the material cup and pass through the guide rod, which then transports them to the guide plate for feeding. However, because the beads move out of the material cup at different speeds, it cannot be guaranteed that every bead will pass through the guide rod. Falling beads may land under the embroidery needle, affecting its normal operation and potentially causing it to break, thus impacting production efficiency. Furthermore, when the beads fall onto the guide rod, they may become stuck due to tilting, preventing normal feeding. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a non-standard embroidered bead feeding tube. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0004] A special-shaped bead feeding tube is provided, one end of which is connected to a material cup and the other end is connected to a bead guide plate. The height of the cross-section of the cavity of the feeding tube is adapted to the thickness of the special-shaped bead, and the length of the longest side of the upper and lower sides of the cross-section of the cavity is adapted to the length of the longest side of the upper and lower sides of the longitudinal section of the special-shaped bead, so that the feeding tube can accommodate only one special-shaped bead in both the transverse and vertical directions. The special-shaped bead can pass through the feeding tube sequentially in a set direction and fall into the bead guide plate.

[0005] Furthermore, the longest side of the cross-section of the cavity is the lower side.

[0006] Furthermore, the feeding tube includes a first rigid connecting part, a second rigid connecting part, and a flexible connecting part connecting the first rigid connecting part and the second rigid connecting part located at both ends. The first rigid connecting part is in communication with the material cup; the lower end of the second rigid connecting part is fixed to the guide bead plate.

[0007] Furthermore, one end of the first rigid connecting part is horizontally connected to the material cup, and the other end is bent downward and connected to one end of the flexible connecting part; one end of the second rigid connecting part is horizontally fixed above the guide bead plate, and the other end is bent upward and connected to the other end of the flexible connecting part.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower end of the second rigid connection is provided with a discharge port, which is positioned opposite to the drop port provided on the guide bead plate.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] 1. By setting a feeding tube whose cross-sectional shape of the cavity matches the longitudinal section shape of the irregular embroidery beads falling into the guide plate, and one end of the feeding tube is connected to the inner cavity of the material cup, and the other end is connected to the guide plate, the irregular embroidery beads that have been oriented in the material cup can fall into the guide plate sequentially and quickly through the feeding tube, without the embroidery beads falling or getting stuck, ensuring feeding efficiency and thus improving the company's production efficiency. Moreover, the irregular embroidery beads falling into the guide plate are in the correct direction, thus ensuring the accuracy of feeding.

[0011] 2. By designing the feed tube with rigid connecting parts at the top and bottom and a flexible connecting part in the middle, irregularly shaped beads can smoothly enter and exit the feed tube. At the same time, the flexible connecting part can quickly and easily connect two non-opposing rigid connecting parts.

[0012] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model embodiment provides a non-standard embroidery bead feeding tube. One end of the feeding tube 1 is connected to the inner cavity of the material cup 2, and the other end is connected to the guide bead plate 3 at the lower end of the embroidery machine. The height H of the cavity cross-section of the feeding tube 1 is adapted to the thickness of the non-standard embroidery bead, and the length L of the longest side of the upper and lower sides of the cavity cross-section is adapted to the length of the longest side of the upper and lower sides of the longitudinal section of the non-standard embroidery bead. That is, the height of the cavity cross-section of the feeding tube 1 is slightly greater than the thickness of the non-standard embroidery bead, and the length of the longest side of the upper and lower sides of the cavity cross-section is slightly greater than the length of the longest side of the upper and lower sides of the longitudinal section of the non-standard embroidery bead, so that the feeding tube 1 can accommodate only one non-standard embroidery bead in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The non-standard embroidery bead can pass through the feeding tube 1 in sequence in a set direction and fall onto the guide bead plate 3 without flipping or shifting inside the feeding tube 1.

[0022] In this embodiment of the present invention, when the irregular embroidered bead falls into the guide plate 3, the longitudinal section shape is approximately trapezoidal. Therefore, the cross-section of the cavity of the feed tube 1 can also be set to the same shape as the irregular embroidered bead, or it can be set to a rectangle, or it can be set to other shapes that meet the requirements. This embodiment of the present invention will not be specifically described here.

[0023] In this embodiment of the utility model, the longest side of the upper and lower sides of the cavity cross-section is the lower side, that is, when the embroidered bead is cut, the side with the larger bottom surface is located at the bottom, thereby meeting the current actual production needs of this type of embroidered bead.

[0024] By setting a feeding tube whose cross-sectional shape matches the longitudinal section shape of the irregular embroidery beads falling into the guide plate, with one end of the feeding tube connected to the inner cavity of the material cup and the other end connected to the guide plate, the irregular embroidery beads, whose orientation has been adjusted in the material cup, fall sequentially into the guide plate through the feeding tube. This process prevents the embroidery beads from falling or getting stuck, thus ensuring feeding efficiency and further improving the company's production efficiency. Moreover, the irregular embroidery beads falling into the guide plate are in the correct direction, ensuring the accuracy of feeding. The embroidery beads falling into the bead feeding plate through the guide plate are quickly fed through the bead feeding plate and work with the embroidery needle to achieve rapid embroidery. The entire process is not affected by any interference.

[0025] Furthermore, the feed tube 1 includes a first rigid connecting part 4, a second rigid connecting part 5 located at both ends, and a flexible connecting part 6 connecting the first rigid connecting part 4 and the second rigid connecting part 5. The first rigid connecting part 4 is in communication with the feed cup 2. The lower end of the second rigid connecting part 5 is fixed to the upper surface of the guide bead plate 3. Specifically, the second rigid connecting part 5 and the guide bead plate 3 can be fixed by bolts, welding, or other conventional connection methods. Figure 4 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the cavity of the first rigid connecting part 4. The cross-sectional shapes of the cavities of the second rigid connecting part 5 and the flexible connecting part 6 are the same as those of the first rigid connecting part 4.

[0026] The two ends of the feed tube 1 are made into rigid connectors to ensure the stability of feeding and discharging. Since the material cup and the guide bead plate 3 are not arranged vertically opposite each other, a soft and smooth flexible component can be selected in the middle to facilitate and quickly connect the two rigid connectors.

[0027] Furthermore, one end of the first rigid connecting part 4 is horizontally fixed and connected to the cup 2, and the other end is bent downward and connected to one end of the flexible connecting part 6; one end of the second rigid connecting part 5 is horizontally fixed to the guide bead plate 3, and the other end is bent upward and connected to the other end of the flexible connecting part 6.

[0028] By bending the opposite ends of the first rigid connecting part 3 and the second rigid connecting part 5, which are not deformable, the flexible connecting part 6 in the middle, which is easily deformable, becomes a smooth pipe. It will not deform at the connection with the first rigid connecting part 4 and the second rigid connecting part 5, thus not affecting the discharge efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, the lower end of the second rigid connection part 5 is provided with a discharge port 7, which is opposite to the drop port provided on the bead guide plate 3. The irregular embroidery beads coming out of the discharge port 7 can fall directly into the jaws of the bead feeding plate 8 through the drop port, and bead feeding plate 8 can quickly feed the beads.

[0030] In addition, the horizontal portion of the first rigid connection part 4 can have a complete cavity, or it can form a cavity together with the bottom surface of the cup 2.

[0031] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
