All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a four-sided sewing device for a pillowcase, comprising a fabric feeding mechanism 10, a short-side sewing mechanism 20, a cutting mechanism 30, and a long-side sewing mechanism 40 arranged sequentially. The fabric feeding mechanism 10 is used to overlap two pieces of fabric and convey them to the short-side sewing mechanism 20. The short-side sewing mechanism 20 is used to sew the two sides of the overlapped fabric and sew the opening of the pillowcase. The cutting mechanism 30 is used to cut the fabric into single pieces and place them onto the long-side sewing mechanism. The long-side sewing mechanism sews the opposite side of the fabric opening to form a pillowcase.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2-3 The fabric feeding mechanism 10 includes a first fabric feeding frame 101, a second fabric feeding frame 102, and a fabric overlapping module 103. The first fabric feeding frame 101 and the second fabric feeding frame 102 are located on the same side of the fabric overlapping module 103, and the tensioning roller 1032 is located on one side of the conveying roller 1031. Specifically, the first fabric feeding frame 101 includes a first corner frame 1011 and a first L-shaped support 1012. A first support roller 1013 is provided on the first corner frame, and rollers are arranged on the first L-shaped support 1012. A whole roll of fabric is wrapped around the support roller, and the free end of the fabric goes from the roller on the first L-shaped support 1012 to the fabric overlapping module 103 from above. The second fabric feeding frame 102 includes a second corner frame, a second support roller 1023 is provided on the second corner frame, and rollers are arranged on the second L-shaped support 1022. Another whole roll of fabric is wrapped around the second support roller 1023, and the free end of the fabric goes directly to the overlapping module, realizing the feeding of two pieces of fabric.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 The fabric overlapping module 103 includes a conveying roller 1031 and a tensioning roller 1032. The conveying roller 1031 and the tensioning roller each include two sets, which are arranged vertically on the frame. The free end of the fabric coming from the first fabric holder 101 is conveyed from the upper conveying roller 1031, then passes around the upper tensioning roller to the lower conveying roller 1031. The free end of the fabric on the second fabric holder 102 goes directly to the lower conveying roller 1031. The overlapping fabric goes from the lower tensioning roller to the short side sewing mechanism. The overlapping module conveys and overlaps the two pieces of fabric together and then conveys them to the short side sewing mechanism.

[0043] Furthermore, the first fabric placement frame 101 and the second fabric placement frame 102 are further equipped with edge sensors 104. One edge sensor 104 is installed on the L-shaped bracket to monitor whether the fabric conveyed by the first fabric placement frame 101 deviates from its position; the other edge sensor 104 is installed on the frame of the non-overlapping module to monitor whether the fabric conveyed by the second fabric placement frame 102 deviates from its position in real time. The edge sensors 104 play a monitoring role during the conveying process of the two fabrics.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 4-6The short-side sewing mechanism includes two first sewing machines 201 and two second sewing machines 202, which are slidably arranged relative to each other. Specifically, the two first sewing machines 201 are mounted on the frame and can move relative to each other. The overlapped fabric passes between the two first sewing machines 201, and the two first sewing machines 201 sew the two sides of the moving fabric. Furthermore, the short-side sewing mechanism also includes two position sensors 204, each corresponding to one of the two first sewing machines 201. The two position sensors 204 are mounted on the frame. The overlapped fabric first passes through the two position sensors 204, with the positions of the two position sensors 204 corresponding to the two sides of the fabric. The relative distance between the two first sewing machines 201 is adjusted according to the positions of the two edges of the fabric to ensure precise sewing of the two first sewing machines 201 on the two sides of the overlapped fabric.

[0045] Furthermore, the short-side sewing mechanism further includes a rotatable fabric storage frame 203, which is U-shaped. A counterweight is provided at one end near the opening. The two sides of the fabric storage frame 203 are hinged to the side of the frame near the two second sewing machines 202. The fabric after sewing on both sides passes through the fabric storage frame 203. When the amount of fabric conveyed from the second sewing machine 202 increases, the fabric storage frame 203 will press down on the fabric under the action of gravity, which increases the curvature of the fabric bending, thus playing the role of temporarily storing and pre-tensioning the fabric.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 4-6 Two second sewing machines 202 are installed on the frame, and a lead screw is installed on the frame. The lead screw drives the two second sewing machines 202 to move closer or further apart. The sewn fabric moves between the two second sewing machines 202. By controlling the two second sewing machines 202 to move closer to each other, a distance is sewn on both sides of the fabric towards the middle to form a middle opening, thus completing the opening of the pillowcase and the sewing of the two sides.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 8The cutting mechanism 30 includes a fabric support frame 301 and a cutting blade 302. The cutting blade 302 is positioned between the fabric support frame 301 and the second sewing machine 202. The fabric support frame 301 includes a movable fabric clamp 3011. Specifically, the fabric support frame 301 is positioned on one side of the platform 401. The fabric sewn by the two second sewing machines 202 is conveyed towards the platform 401. The cutting mechanism 30 includes a fabric clamping rod 303 and a camera 304. Positioned above the short-side sewing mechanism and the cutting blade 302, when the camera 304 captures the fabric, the fabric puller 301 is controlled to move towards the side of the two second sewing machines 202. The fabric puller 3011 clamps one end of the fabric and pulls the fabric to lay it on the platform 401. Then, the fabric clamping rod 303 is controlled to clamp the fabric, and the cutting blade 302 is controlled to cut it, forming a fabric cover that can be opened and falls on the platform 401, with the side to be sewn facing the side closer to the cutting blade 302.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 5-6 The long-side sewing mechanism 40 includes a platform 401, with a movable fabric transfer rod 402 and a fabric pressing rod 403 mounted above the platform 401. Third sewing machines 404 are mounted at both ends of the platform 401. The fabric transfer rod 402 moves between the middle and both ends of the platform 401. Specifically, the long-side sewing mechanism 40 includes two downward-facing moving tracks mounted above the platform 401. A pressing cylinder is mounted on each moving track, and the piston rod of the pressing cylinder is connected to the fabric transfer rod 402. The moving rod 402 presses down onto the fabric that has fallen onto the platform 401. The fabric transfer rod 402 moves the fabric to one side of the platform 401. Then, the fabric pressing rod 403 presses the fabric down onto the platform 401. Finally, the third sewing machine 404 sews one edge of the fabric to form a pillowcase.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 5-7 Platform 401 is further equipped with fabric picking mechanisms at both ends. These mechanisms include two fabric picking clamps 405 and a folding platform 406. The folding platform 406 is vertically movable and positioned below platform 401, while the fabric picking clamps 405 are positioned on one side of platform 401. Specifically, after the pillowcase is sewn, it rests on platform 401. The two fabric picking clamps 405 are moved closer to platform 401 to clamp the pillowcase. Moving the clamps 405 causes the pillowcase to fall onto the folding platform 406, which can then move vertically downwards, leaving the pillowcase on the folding platform 406.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] A method for manufacturing a pillowcase, using the pillowcase production equipment described above, includes the following steps:

[0052] S1: The two rolls of fabric are placed manually on the first fabric rack 101 and the second fabric rack 102 respectively, and the free ends of the two rolls of fabric are pulled to the fabric overlapping module 103. The first fabric rack 101 and the second fabric rack 102 realize the feeding of the fabric.

[0053] S2: After passing through the conveyor roller 1031 and tension roller 1032, the two pieces of fabric are overlapped and conveyed to the two first sewing machines 201 along the conveying direction. The two sets of conveyor rollers 1031 and tension roller 1032 overlap the two pieces of fabric and convey them to the two first sewing machines 201.

[0054] S3: The two first sewing machines 201 respectively sew the fabric on both sides along the transmission direction to complete the seam on both sides;

[0055] S4: After the fabric is sewn on both sides, it is conveyed to two second sewing machines 202. The two second sewing machines 202 move relative to each other along the direction perpendicular to the fabric conveying direction and sew the same size on both sides of the fabric. The fabric is then sewn together by the two second sewing machines 202 to form a C-shaped opening.

[0056] S5: The fabric clamp 3011 clamps the fabric that has been horizontally sewn and passes under the cutter 302 and lays it flat on the platform 401. The cutter 302 cuts the fabric to form a single piece that falls onto the platform 401.

[0057] S6: Control the fabric transfer rod 402 to press down the cut fabric and move it to both sides of the platform 401. The third sewing machine 404 sews the fabric together to form a C-shaped pillowcase.

[0058] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.
