Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment production technology, specifically to a fabric clamp for garment pleating. Background Technology

[0002] Garment pleating is a technique for creating pleats on fabric. It involves folding, ironing, and other methods to create a series of pleats on clothing. It is often used to enhance the three-dimensionality and decorative effect of garments. In the process of garment pleating, fabric clamps play a crucial role as an important auxiliary tool.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with Chinese patent publication number CN220813203U, which discloses a pleating device for clothing fabrics, relating to the field of clothing fabric processing technology. The proposed solution includes a base, a support mounted on the top of the base, a lifting rod mounted in the middle of the support, a pressure plate connected to the end of the lifting rod, guide rods on both sides of the top of the pressure plate, an upper folding plate mounted on the bottom of the pressure plate, and a heating module mounted on the top of the pressure plate.

[0004] The device described above uses two fixed-shape folding plates to wrinkle the garment. However, in actual production, different sizes of wrinkles are required, so multiple folding plates of different specifications need to be made. If one is lost or damaged, the work will not be able to proceed smoothly, indicating room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fabric clamp for garment pleating to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fabric clamp for garment pleating, comprising a mounting frame and a connecting frame, wherein the mounting frame is located inside the connecting frame, and an adjustment component is installed inside the mounting frame, the adjustment component comprising two guide rods fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the mounting frame, the two guide rods being respectively located on both sides of the mounting frame, a lead screw being rotatably connected to the top inner wall of the mounting frame via a bearing, an mounting plate being threaded onto the outside of the lead screw, the mounting plate being sleeved on the outside of the two guide rods, and a shaping component being installed at the bottom of the mounting plate.

[0007] The width of the fabric being clamped can be controlled by adjusting the height of the first heating plate, which greatly increases the adaptability of the device. It eliminates the need to change molds to change pleat patterns and avoids production problems due to a lack of molds. To reduce the width of the pleats, simply rotate the screw by turning the knob. The mounting plate, which is restricted by the two guide rods, can only move up and down. Therefore, the screw can drive the mounting plate to move upward, which in turn drives the first heating plate to move upward as well. When the second heating plate comes into contact with the fabric, the first heating plate will not come into contact with the fabric. It will only come into contact with the fabric after it continues to rotate at a certain angle, which will reduce the width of the clamped fabric and, correspondingly, the width of the pleats will also decrease.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the connecting frame, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the mounting frame.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the shaping component includes two springs fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the mounting plate, a hinge seat slidably sleeved on the outside of the mounting frame, one end of each of the two springs being fixedly connected to the hinge seat, a heating plate one being hinged inside the hinge seat, and a vertically arranged heating plate two being fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the mounting frame.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a gear is coaxially fixed at one end of the rotating shaft of the heating plate, and a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the hinge seat. A vertically arranged rack is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, and the rack meshes with the gear.

[0011] The second hydraulic cylinder outside the hinge is activated. The output end of the second hydraulic cylinder drives the rack to move downward. The rack drives the gear to rotate clockwise through meshing. Consequently, the first heating plate connected to the gear is also driven to rotate synchronously. Under the action of friction, the first heating plate can pull a part of the fabric towards the second heating plate. As shown in the figure, when the first heating plate rotates, it tends to move downwards towards the fabric. Since the hinge connected to the first heating plate is connected to the mounting plate through a spring, if the first heating plate wants to move downwards, it will move upwards along the spring under the pressure of the external support platform, ensuring that the work can proceed smoothly. As the distance between the pulled fabrics decreases, they will gradually fold until the first and second heating plates completely clamp the fabric. Under the action of high temperature, this part of the fabric will form an inverted V-shape.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a contact plate is slidably sleeved on the outside of both heating plate one and heating plate two, and a bolt is slidably inserted into the outside of both contact plates. Threaded holes adapted to the bolts are provided on the outside of both heating plate two and heating plate one.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, two limiting rods are fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the hinge seat. Both limiting rods are slidably inserted into the interior of the heating plate, and the two limiting rods are respectively located in the internal space of the spring.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a connecting groove is provided at each of the four corners of the bottom inner wall of the connecting frame.

[0015] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a plurality of anti-slip grooves are provided at one corner of the outer contact plate of the heating plate, and the plurality of anti-slip grooves are distributed at equal intervals.

[0016] This utility model provides a fabric clamp for garment pleating, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) By setting an adjustment component, this utility model can control the width of the fabric being clamped by adjusting the height of the first heating plate, which greatly increases the adaptability of the device. It does not require changing the mold to change the pleat style, and there will be no problem of production failure due to lack of mold. If it is necessary to reduce the width of the pleat, simply rotate the screw by turning the knob. The mounting plate, which is restricted by the two guide rods, can only move up and down. Therefore, the screw can drive the mounting plate to move upward, and the first heating plate will also be driven to move upward. When the second heating plate comes into contact with the fabric later, the first heating plate will not come into contact with the fabric. It will only come into contact with the fabric after continuing to rotate a certain angle, so that the width of the clamped fabric will also decrease, and the width of the pleat will also decrease accordingly.

[0018] (2) By setting a shaping component, the hydraulic cylinder 2 outside the hinge seat is activated. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 2 drives the rack to move downward. The rack drives the gear to rotate clockwise through meshing. The heating plate 1 connected to the gear will also be driven to rotate synchronously. Under the action of friction, the heating plate 1 can pull a part of the fabric towards the heating plate 2. As shown in the figure, when the heating plate 1 rotates, it tends to move downward towards the fabric. Since the hinge seat connected to the heating plate 1 is connected to the mounting plate through a spring, if the heating plate 1 wants to move downward, it will move upward along the spring under the pressure of the external support platform to ensure that the work can be carried out smoothly. As the distance between the pulled fabrics decreases, they will gradually fold until the heating plate 1 and the heating plate 2 completely clamp the fabric. Under the action of high temperature, this part of the fabric will form an inverted V shape. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, a fabric clamp for garment pleating includes a mounting frame 1 and a connecting frame 2. The mounting frame 1 is located inside the connecting frame 2. A hydraulic cylinder 7 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the connecting frame 2. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the mounting frame 1. When the hydraulic cylinder 7 on the top of the connecting frame 2 is activated, its output end can drive the mounting frame 1 to move downward. Subsequently, the ends of the contact plates 4 outside the heating plate 904 and the heating plate 903 will come into contact with the fabric.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the shaping component 9 includes two springs 901 fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the mounting plate 803, and a hinge seat 902 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the mounting frame 1. One end of each of the two springs 901 is fixedly connected to the hinge seat 902. A heating plate 903 is hinged inside the hinge seat 902, and a vertically arranged heating plate 904 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the mounting frame 1.

[0027] A gear 907 is coaxially fixed to one end of the rotating shaft of the heating plate 903. A hydraulic cylinder 905 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the hinge 902. A vertically arranged rack 906 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 905. The rack 906 meshes with the gear 907.

[0028] The hydraulic cylinder 905 outside the hinge 902 is activated. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 905 drives the rack 906 to move downward. The rack 906, through meshing, drives the gear 907 to rotate clockwise. Consequently, the heating plate 903 connected to the gear 907 is also driven to rotate synchronously. Under the action of friction, the heating plate 903 can pull a portion of the fabric towards the heating plate 904. Figure 3 As can be seen, when heating plate 903 flips, it tends to move downwards towards the fabric. Since the hinge 902 connected to heating plate 903 is connected to mounting plate 803 via spring 901, if heating plate 903 wants to move downwards, it will move upwards along spring 901 under the pressure of the external support platform, ensuring smooth operation. As the distance between the pulled fabrics decreases, they will gradually fold until heating plate 903 and heating plate 904 completely clamp the fabric. Under high temperature, this fabric will form an inverted V-shape. Then, hydraulic cylinder 7 drives mounting frame 1 to reset, and the fabric will be pulled upwards by one end, so that the right end of the V-shaped fabric is at the bottom of heating plate 904 before being released from clamping. Then, the next processing can begin, thus allowing for continuous processing.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an adjustment assembly 8 is installed inside the mounting frame 1. The adjustment assembly 8 includes two guide rods 801 fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the mounting frame 1. The two guide rods 801 are located on both sides of the mounting frame 1. A lead screw 802 is rotatably connected to the top inner wall of the mounting frame 1 through a bearing. A mounting plate 803 is threaded onto the outside of the lead screw 802. The mounting plate 803 is fitted onto the outside of the two guide rods 801. A shaping assembly 9 is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 803.

[0030] To reduce the width of the pleats, simply rotate the screw 802 via the knob. The mounting plate 803, which is restricted by the two guide rods 801, can only move up and down. Therefore, the screw 802 can drive the mounting plate 803 to move upward, which in turn drives the heating plate 903 to move upward as well. When the heating plate 904 comes into contact with the fabric later, the heating plate 903 will not come into contact with the fabric. It will only come into contact with the fabric after it continues to rotate at a certain angle, which will reduce the width of the clamped fabric and, correspondingly, reduce the width of the pleats.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a contact plate 4 is slidably sleeved on the outside of both heating plate 1 903 and heating plate 2 904. A bolt 5 is slidably inserted into the outside of both contact plates 4. Threaded holes that match the bolt 5 are provided on the outside of both heating plate 2 904 and heating plate 1 903. If the contact plate 4 is damaged, it can be easily removed and replaced by simply removing the bolt 5, which improves the convenience of maintenance.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, two limiting rods 908 are fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the hinge seat 902. Both limiting rods 908 are slidably inserted into the heating plate 903, and the two limiting rods 908 are respectively located in the internal space of the spring 901. Under the action of the limiting rods 908, the spring 901 will not bend when it is compressed.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a connecting groove 3 is provided at each of the four corners of the bottom inner wall of the connecting frame 2. The connecting piece can be passed through the connecting groove 3 to connect the connecting frame 2 to the external equipment.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, a number of anti-slip grooves 6 are provided at one corner of the outer contact plate 4 of the heating plate 903, and the multiple anti-slip grooves 6 are distributed at equal distances, which can increase the friction between the contact plate 4 and the fabric and effectively prevent the fabric from slipping when it is moved.

[0035] This utility model provides a fabric clamp for garment pleating, the specific working principle of which is as follows:

[0036] When the device is working, first activate the hydraulic cylinder 7 at the top of the connecting frame 2. Its output end will drive the mounting frame 1 to move downwards. Subsequently, the ends of the contact plates 4 on the outside of the heating plate 904 and the heating plate 903 will come into contact with the fabric. Activate the hydraulic cylinder 905 on the outside of the hinge 902. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 905 drives the rack 906 to move downwards. The rack 906 drives the gear 907 to rotate clockwise through meshing. Consequently, the heating plate 903 connected to the gear 907 will also be driven to rotate synchronously. Under the action of friction, the heating plate 903 can pull a portion of the fabric towards the heating plate 904. Figure 3As can be seen, when heating plate 903 flips, it tends to move downwards towards the fabric. Since hinge 902, which is connected to heating plate 903, is connected to mounting plate 803 via spring 901, if heating plate 903 wants to move downwards, it will move upwards along spring 901 under the pressure of the external support platform, ensuring smooth operation. As the distance between the two heating plates decreases, the pulled fabric will gradually fold until heating plate 903 and heating plate 904 completely clamp the fabric. Under high temperature, this section of fabric will form an inverted V-shape. Then, hydraulic cylinder 7 drives mounting frame 1 to reset, and the fabric will be pulled upwards by one distance. Once the right end of the V-shaped fabric is positioned at the bottom of the second heating plate 904, it is released from clamping, and the next processing can begin. This process can be continued. If the width of the pleats needs to be reduced, simply rotate the screw 802 via the knob. The mounting plate 803, which is restricted by the two guide rods 801, can only move up and down. Therefore, the screw 802 can drive the mounting plate 803 to move upward, which in turn drives the first heating plate 903 to move upward as well. When the second heating plate 904 comes into contact with the fabric later, the first heating plate 903 will not come into contact with the fabric. It will only come into contact with the fabric after it continues to rotate at a certain angle, which will reduce the width of the clamped fabric and, correspondingly, reduce the width of the pleats.

[0037] 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.
