Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial embroidery technology, specifically to a material cup that can adjust the feeding direction of irregularly shaped embroidery beads. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the most commonly used bead shapes on embroidery machines are round or rhomboid, which are symmetrical 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 the orientation when embroidering them onto the fabric (generally, the larger side should face down). The existing material cups feed the beads through the steel wire inside the cup by rotating. However, in this process, it is impossible to guarantee that the bead is in the correct orientation when it is fed onto the steel wire. Therefore, it is impossible to feed special-shaped beads in the correct orientation using the existing material cups. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a material cup with adjustable feeding direction for irregularly shaped embroidered beads. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0004] A material cup with adjustable feeding direction for irregularly shaped embroidered beads includes a base and a cup body fixed on the base. The base is provided with a rotatable turntable, and the lower inner side of the cup body is provided with a plurality of guide grooves. The cross-sectional shape of the guide grooves is adapted to the longitudinal section shape when the irregularly shaped embroidered beads are fed in the correct direction. The direction of the irregularly shaped embroidered beads in the material cup is adjusted by rotating the turntable, and the irregularly shaped embroidered beads in the correct direction are fed out through the guide grooves.

[0005] Furthermore, the turntable includes a feeding surface located at the circumferential edge and a stirring surface located in the middle; the bottom of the cup body extends towards the center to form an annular bottom surface with a central opening, the annular bottom surface is located above the turntable and has a baffle surface opposite to the feeding surface, and a baffle is provided on the inner side of the baffle surface opposite to the circumferential edge of the stirring surface; the guide groove extends laterally through the baffle, and its two ends are respectively connected to the inner cavity of the cup and the feeding channel formed by the baffle surface and the feeding surface, and the irregularly shaped beads sent out by the guide groove enter the feeding channel and are sent out.

[0006] Furthermore, the width and height of the feeding channel can only accommodate one irregularly shaped bead.

[0007] Furthermore, the height of the mixing surface gradually decreases from the center to the periphery.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeding surface has friction textures.

[0009] Furthermore, a drive motor is provided at the bottom of the base, and the motor shaft of the drive motor passes through the base and is fixed to the center of the turntable.

[0010] Furthermore, the turntable is provided with a groove, and a stirring rod is provided in the groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the stirring rod is composed of at least two magnets that attract each other from bottom to top, with one magnet located inside the groove and the remaining magnets stacked sequentially on the upper end of the groove.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. By setting a rotatable turntable to flip the irregular embroidery beads, the direction of the irregular embroidery beads is adjusted through the flipping process. At the same time, the irregular embroidery beads in the correct direction can be sent out through the guide groove whose cross-sectional shape matches the longitudinal section shape when the irregular embroidery beads are cut in the correct direction, thereby realizing the adjustment of the cutting direction of the irregular embroidery beads and ensuring the accuracy of cutting.

[0014] 2. By dividing the working surface of the turntable into a feeding surface and a stirring surface, and separating the feeding surface and the stirring surface with a baffle, irregularly shaped embroidered beads with the correct orientation and those with the incorrect orientation will not be confused during the feeding process, thus ensuring the accuracy of bead feeding during the unloading process.

[0015] 3. By controlling the dimensions of the guide trough and feeding channel, irregularly shaped beads can be fed in an orderly manner without causing bead jamming.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a material cup with adjustable feeding direction for irregularly shaped embroidered beads, specifically including a base 1 and a cup body 2 fixed on the base 1. A turntable 3 is provided on the base 1, and the turntable can rotate relative to the cup body 2. A plurality of guide grooves 2-1 are provided circumferentially on the inner side of the lower end of the cup body 2. The cross-sectional shape of the guide groove 2-1 is adapted to the longitudinal section shape when the irregularly shaped embroidered beads are fed in the correct direction. That is, the cross-sectional shape of the guide groove 2-1 is the same as the longitudinal section shape when the irregularly shaped embroidered beads are fed in the correct direction, and is slightly larger than the longitudinal section size of the irregularly shaped embroidered beads, so that only one irregularly shaped embroidered bead with the correct direction can pass through. The direction of the irregularly shaped embroidered beads in the material cup is adjusted by rotating the turntable 3, and the irregularly shaped embroidered beads with the correct direction are sent out through the guide grooves 2-1.

[0025] The irregular embroidery beads are flipped by a rotatable turntable 3. The direction of the irregular embroidery beads is adjusted by the flipping process. At the same time, the irregular embroidery beads in the correct direction can be fed out through the guide groove 2-1, whose cross-sectional shape is adapted to the longitudinal section shape when the irregular embroidery beads are fed in the correct direction. Thus, the feeding direction of the irregular embroidery beads can be adjusted by the material cup to ensure the correctness of the feeding direction.

[0026] Furthermore, the turntable 3 includes a feeding surface 3-1 located at the circumferential edge and a stirring surface 3-2 located in the middle; the bottom of the cup body 2 extends towards the center of the base 1 to form an annular bottom surface 4 with a central opening. The annular bottom surface 4 is located above the turntable 3 and has a baffle surface 4-1 arranged opposite to the feeding surface 3-1. A baffle 4-2 opposite to the circumferential edge of the stirring surface 3-2 is provided at the bottom of the annular bottom surface 4 inside the baffle surface 4-1; the guide groove 2-1 extends laterally through the baffle 4-2, and its two ends are respectively connected to the inner cavity of the cup and the feeding channel formed by the baffle surface 4-1 and the feeding surface 3-1. The irregularly shaped beads fed out by the guide groove 2-1 enter the feeding channel and are fed out.

[0027] Furthermore, a drive motor 5 is fixed to the bottom of the base 1. The motor shaft of the drive motor 5 passes through the base 1 and is fixed to the middle of the turntable 3. When the drive motor 5 is working, the motor shaft drives the turntable 3 to rotate relative to the cup body 2.

[0028] The purpose of the turntable 3 is divided into two parts: one part is used for feeding and the other part is used for stirring. The stirring surface 3-2 is used to stir the irregular embroidery beads, causing them to change direction. The irregular embroidery beads with the correct direction enter the feeding surface 3-1 through the guide groove 2-1. A baffle 4-2 is set on the annular bottom surface 4 to isolate the feeding surface 3-1 from the stirring surface 3-2, so as to avoid the embroidery beads being fed and the embroidery beads being stirred.

[0029] Meanwhile, the distance between the feeding surface 3-1 and the blocking surface 4-1, i.e., the height of the feeding channel, is slightly higher than the height of the irregular embroidered beads. That is, the height of one irregular embroidered bead < the height of the feeding channel < the sum of the heights of two irregular embroidered beads stacked together. This ensures that the feeding channel can only accommodate one embroidered bead in the height direction, while also ensuring that the embroidered bead will not flip over in the feeding channel and will always maintain the correct orientation. In addition, the width of the feeding channel is slightly greater than the maximum width of the irregular embroidered beads. That is, the maximum width of one irregular embroidered bead < the width of the feeding channel < the sum of the maximum widths of two irregular embroidered beads placed side by side. This ensures that the feeding channel can only accommodate one embroidered bead in the width direction, and that the irregular embroidered beads can fall into the feed tube 2 in sequence without jamming.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to improve the conveying efficiency of irregular embroidered beads, the height of the stirring surface 3-2 is designed to gradually decrease from the center to the periphery, that is, the stirring surface 3-2 is set in a frustum shape. In this way, the irregular embroidered beads always move towards the side closer to the guide groove 2-1 during the rotation, so that the irregular embroidered beads with the correct orientation can quickly enter the guide groove 2-1.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to improve the conveying efficiency of irregularly shaped embroidered beads, the feeding surface 3-1 has friction texture, thereby increasing the friction between the embroidered beads and the feeding surface 3-1, preventing them from slipping in the feeding channel and failing to be fed smoothly.

[0032] Furthermore, the turntable 3 is provided with a groove 3-3, and a stirring rod (not shown in the figure) is provided in the groove 3-3. The stirring rod is located near the baffle 4-2. The rotation of the turntable 3 drives the stirring rod to rotate, thereby stirring the irregular embroidery beads in the turntable 3, which speeds up the tumbling speed of the irregular embroidery beads. At the same time, irregular embroidery beads that are not oriented correctly near the guide groove 2-1 will also be carried away by the stirring rod, thereby speeding up the discharge speed.

[0033] Preferably, the stirring rod is composed of at least two magnets that attract each other from bottom to top. One magnet is located inside the groove 3-3, and the remaining magnets are stacked on top of the groove 3-3. In this embodiment of the invention, the stirring rod is composed of two attracting magnets, one magnet is located inside the groove 3-3, and the other magnet is located above the groove 3-3. When the irregularly shaped bead touches the magnet, the upper magnet can be offset to a certain extent with the movement direction of the irregularly shaped bead, thereby playing a buffering role and avoiding a hard collision with the bead, which could damage the bead.

[0034] When feeding is required, the drive motor 5 is controlled to work, causing the turntable 3 to start rotating. The magnet starts to stir the irregular embroidery beads in the cup, causing them to flip and adjust their direction. Irregular embroidery beads with the correct direction enter the feeding channel along the guide groove 2-1, while embroidery beads with the incorrect direction continue to flip on the stirring surface of the turntable until they are sent out through the guide groove 2-1 with the correct direction.

[0035] 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.
