Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of embroidery machine positioning technology, specifically to an embroidery machine image recognition positioning calibration device. Background Technology

[0002] Embroidery machines, also known as computerized embroidery machines, are the most advanced embroidery machinery of our time. They enable traditional hand embroidery to be completed at high speed and efficiency, and can also achieve the "multi-layered, multi-functional, uniform, and perfect" requirements that hand embroidery cannot reach. It is an electromechanical product embodying multiple high-tech advancements. As computerized embroidery replaces hand embroidery, computerized embroidery machines will become the main type of machinery in the embroidery industry.

[0003] In related technologies, when using an embroidery machine to embroider patterns on embroidery materials, the operator clamps the embroidery frame onto the part of the embroidery material to be embroidered, then places the embroidery frame on the embroidery machine table, and uses a clamping device to fix the handles on both sides of the embroidery frame onto the embroidery machine table. The embroidery machine can then be started to begin embroidery. However, when the embroidery template is clamped on the embroidery frame, due to the manual installation method, the position of the embroidery template needs to be observed and judged manually, which means that the consistency of the installation position is poor. The starting position of existing embroidery machines is generally relatively fixed, and when the installation position of the embroidery template is different, it will cause the pattern embroidered by the embroidery machine to be crooked, affecting the embroidery effect. To address this issue, we propose an embroidery machine image recognition positioning calibration device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an image recognition and positioning calibration device for embroidery machines to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0017] 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.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] Reference Figure 1 , 2This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides an image recognition positioning calibration device for an embroidery machine, including a mounting frame 1. One end of an electric telescopic rod 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame 1. An mounting plate 4 is fixedly installed on the other end of the electric telescopic rod 3. An industrial camera 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the mounting plate 4.

[0020] On the other side of the mounting frame 1, a sliding opening 6 is provided at the top. A slider 7 is slidably engaged in the sliding opening 6. A threaded knob 8 is connected to the slider 7 through a threaded structure. The end of the threaded knob 8 is rotatably connected to a pressure plate 9. The pressure plate 9 is movably disposed within the mounting frame 1. On the other side of the mounting frame 1, a groove 10 is recessed at the bottom. A guide slide rod 11 is fixedly installed in the groove 10. The guide slide rod 11 is slidably connected to one side of a clamping block 13. One end of the clamping block 13 is fixedly connected to one end of a spring 12. The other end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 10 away from the electric telescopic rod 3. The spring 12 is movably sleeved on the outside of the guide slide rod 11.

[0021] The U-shaped mounting frame 1 is inserted into the middle of the embroidery machine's thread frame. Before insertion, manually operate the threaded knob 8 to move the pressure plate 9 within the mounting frame 1. The pressure plate 9 adheres to the top inner wall of the mounting frame 1, maximizing the opening of the mounting frame 1 for easy insertion into the thread frame. Pull the clamping block 13 away from the inner wall of the mounting frame 1, so that when the thread frame is inserted into the mounting frame 1, the embroidery machine's thread frame is located between the clamping block 13 and the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. After the thread frame is inserted into the mounting frame 1, it rests against the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. Then, release the clamping block 13, which rests against the thread frame under the spring force, providing initial positioning of the thread frame and mounting frame 1. Then, move the slider 7 within the sliding opening 6, moving the pressure plate 9 to the position of the thread frame. Finally, manually rotate the threaded knob 8 to move the pressure plate 9 towards the thread frame. The moving pressure plate 9, in conjunction with the mounting frame 1, clamps and fixes the wire frame, thereby ensuring the fixed position of the mounting frame 1. The electric telescopic rod 3 and the industrial camera 5 are respectively connected to the embroidery machine's computer system via wiring. The extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 3 drives the industrial camera 5 to adjust its position, so that the industrial camera 5 is located in the square of the embroidery frame, allowing the industrial camera 5 to collect image information of the embroidery template. The industrial camera 5 collects image information of the embroidery template on the embroidery frame and then transmits the signal to the embroidery machine's computer system. The collected image information is compared with the pre-stored image information in the computer system to determine whether the position of the collected image information is consistent with the pre-stored image information. If they are consistent, the embroidery machine works normally. If they are inconsistent, the computer system adjusts the embroidery starting point of the embroidery machine to avoid the embroidery pattern being crooked and affecting the embroidery effect.

[0022] Example 2

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. Specifically, the mounting plate 4 has an L-shaped structure. The L-shaped structure facilitates the fixed connection of one side of the mounting plate 4 to the end of the electric telescopic rod 3 and the other side to the industrial camera 5.

[0024] Specifically, the mounting frame 1 has a U-shaped structure, which facilitates the insertion of the embroidery machine thread holder inside the mounting frame 1.

[0025] Specifically, the slide 6 has a cross-shaped structure. The cross-shaped slide 6 and the slider 7 slide and engage with each other, so that the slider 7 can slide smoothly while preventing the slider 7 from falling off.

[0026] Specifically, the clamp 13 has a T-shaped structure. The T-shaped structure causes the top of the clamp 13 to protrude from the slide groove 10, which facilitates the clamp 13 to engage with the wire frame.

[0027] Specifically, one end of the reinforcing rib 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the electric telescopic pole 3, and the other end of the reinforcing rib 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1. The setting of the reinforcing rib 2 improves the stability of the electric telescopic pole 3.

[0028] Example 3

[0029] Reference Figure 1-3This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Based on the previous two embodiments, in use, the U-shaped mounting frame 1 is inserted into the middle of the embroidery machine's thread frame. Before insertion, manually operate the threaded knob 8 to move the pressure plate 9 within the mounting frame 1. The pressure plate 9 adheres to the inner top wall of the mounting frame 1, maximizing the opening of the mounting frame 1 for easy insertion into the thread frame. Pull the clamping block 13 away from the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. When the thread frame is inserted into the mounting frame 1, the embroidery machine's thread frame is located between the clamping block 13 and the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. After insertion, the thread frame rests against the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. Then, release the clamping block 13, which, under the spring force, presses against the thread frame, initially positioning the thread frame and mounting frame 1. Then, move the slider 7 within the sliding opening 6, moving the pressure plate 9 to the thread frame position. Finally, manually rotate the screw... The knob 8 moves the end pressure plate 9 toward the thread frame. The pressure plate 9, together with the mounting frame 1, clamps and fixes the thread frame, thus ensuring the fixed position of the mounting frame 1. The electric telescopic rod 3 and the industrial camera 5 are connected to the embroidery machine's computer system via wiring. The extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 3 causes the industrial camera 5 to adjust its position, placing it within the square of the embroidery frame. This allows the industrial camera to collect image information of the embroidery template. The industrial camera 5 collects the image information of the embroidery template on the embroidery frame and then transmits the signal to the embroidery machine's computer system. The collected image information is compared with the pre-stored image information in the computer system to determine if the position of the collected image information matches the pre-stored image information. If they match, the embroidery machine operates normally. If they do not match, the computer system adjusts the embroidery starting point of the embroidery machine to prevent the embroidered pattern from being crooked and affecting the embroidery effect.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
