Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sewing technology, and in particular to an integrated flat fabric cutting machine that can automatically cut and collect materials. Background Technology
[0002] In the fabric sewing process, the raw fabric needs to be marked with lines before being cut. After cutting, the cut fabric is removed from the raw fabric and stacked for subsequent transportation and further processing. Most existing fabric cutting machines only have the function of cutting fabric, and the cut fabric needs to be manually removed. Some fabric cutting machines are equipped with robotic arms that can automatically pick up the material, but since the shape of the fabric cut each time is different, the path of the robotic arm needs to be manually set, and the path calculation takes a certain amount of time. Therefore, when cutting small batches of fabrics with various styles, the robotic arm is not even as efficient as manual material collection. In addition, when the robotic arm picks up the fabric, some fabrics are easily damaged due to different materials, which urgently needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies, this utility model provides an integrated flat fabric cutting machine with automatic cutting and receiving capabilities. It includes a control system, a cutting bed, a fabric cutting device, and an automatic receiving device. The fabric cutting device is mounted on the cutting bed and includes a moving frame, a moving frame drive mechanism, and a cutting blade assembly. The moving frame is mounted on the cutting bed and movably engages with it via the moving frame drive mechanism. The cutting blade assembly is mounted on the moving frame and movably engages with it. The automatic receiving device is located at the tail of the cutting bed. Both the fabric cutting device and the automatic receiving device are connected to the control system. The automatic receiving device includes a mounting frame, a small industrial camera, a pair of robotic arms, and a collection bin. The mounting frame is fixedly mounted on the side of the cutting bed. The small industrial camera is mounted on the top of the mounting frame and movably connected to it. The pair of robotic arms are symmetrically arranged on the cutting bed and located on both sides of the mounting frame. The collection bin is located near the tail of the cutting bed. The ends of the pair of robotic arms are equipped with mechanical claws for safe fabric gripping.
[0004] Using the above technical solution, an automatic material collection device, including a mounting frame, a small industrial camera, and a robotic arm assembly, is installed at the tail of the cutting bed. After the fabric is cut by the fabric cutting device on the cutting bed, the fabric is pulled to the bottom of the automatic material collection device. The industrial camera identifies the fabric and locates the outline of the cut fabric. The specific location information is sent to the robotic arm assembly through the control system, which then moves the robotic arm assembly to the top of the cut fabric, grips the target fabric, moves it to the top of the recycling bin, and releases the fabric, thus completing the automatic recycling of the fabric.
[0005] A further feature of this invention is that the mounting frame is provided with several rotating connecting joints, one end of the mounting frame is provided with a mounting groove that matches a small industrial camera, and the bottom of the mounting groove is provided with a through hole.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, since the mounting frame is provided with several rotating connecting joints, one end of the mounting frame is provided with a mounting slot that matches the small industrial camera, and the bottom of the mounting slot is provided with a through hole, the industrial camera can be stably placed in the mounting slot, and the position of the industrial camera can be adjusted by several rotating connecting joints to adapt to specific photography needs.
[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the mechanical claw includes a mounting block, a pair of rollers, and a pair of drive motors. The mounting block is fixedly mounted on the end of the robotic arm. The pair of rollers are symmetrically arranged inside the mounting block, and both ends of the rollers are rotatably engaged with the mounting block. The pair of drive motors are respectively mounted on the two end faces of the mounting block and are respectively connected to the pair of rollers.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the mechanical gripper includes a mounting block, a pair of rollers, and a pair of drive motors. The mounting block is fixedly installed at the end of the robot arm. The pair of rollers are symmetrically arranged inside the mounting block and both ends are rotated with the mounting block. The pair of drive motors are respectively installed on the two end faces of the mounting block and are respectively connected to the pair of rollers. By controlling the rotation of the pair of rollers through the pair of drive motors, the cut fabric is clamped and the fabric is avoided from being scratched.
[0009] A further feature of this invention is that each of the pair of rollers is fitted with a rubber protective sleeve.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, since both rollers are fitted with rubber protective sleeves, the surface friction of the rollers is increased, and the protection of the fabric being clamped is further improved. Attached Figure Description

The pair of robotic arms are symmetrically arranged on the cutting bed and located on both sides of the mounting frame. The collection bin is located near the tail of the cutting bed. The ends of the pair of robotic arms are each equipped with a robotic claw 12 for safely gripping the fabric.
[0016] An automatic material collection device, including a mounting frame, a small industrial camera, and a robotic arm assembly, is installed at the rear of the cutting bed. After the fabric is cut by the fabric cutting device on the cutting bed, the fabric is pulled to the bottom of the automatic material collection device. The industrial camera identifies the fabric and locates the outline of the cut fabric. The specific location information is sent to the robotic arm assembly through the control system, which then moves the robotic arm assembly above the cut fabric, grips the target fabric, moves it above the recycling bin, and releases the fabric, completing the automatic recycling of the fabric.
[0017] The mounting bracket is provided with several rotating connecting joints 13, and one end of the mounting bracket is provided with a mounting groove 14 that matches a small industrial camera. The bottom of the mounting groove is provided with a through hole 15.
[0018] Because the mounting bracket is equipped with several rotating connecting joints, and one end of the mounting bracket is equipped with a mounting slot that matches a small industrial camera, and the bottom of the mounting slot is equipped with a through hole, the industrial camera can be stably placed in the mounting slot, and the position of the industrial camera can be adjusted by several rotating connecting joints to adapt to specific photography needs.
[0019] The mechanical gripper includes a mounting block 16, a pair of rollers 17, and a pair of drive motors 18. The mounting block is fixedly mounted on the end of the manipulator. The pair of rollers are symmetrically arranged inside the mounting block and both ends are rotatably engaged with the mounting block. The pair of drive motors are respectively mounted on the two end faces of the mounting block and are respectively connected to the pair of rollers.
[0020] The mechanical gripper includes a mounting block, a pair of rollers, and a pair of drive motors. The mounting block is fixedly mounted on the end of the robotic arm. The pair of rollers are symmetrically arranged inside the mounting block and rotate with the mounting block at both ends. The pair of drive motors are respectively mounted on the two end faces of the mounting block and are respectively connected to the pair of rollers. By controlling the rotation of the pair of rollers through the pair of drive motors, the cut fabric is clamped and the fabric is avoided from being scratched.
[0021] Each pair of rollers is fitted with a rubber protective sleeve 19.
[0022] Since both rollers are fitted with rubber protective sleeves, the surface friction of the rollers is increased, which further enhances the protection of the fabric being gripped.
