Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton fabric processing technology, and in particular to a fabric folding machine for cotton fabric processing. Background Technology

[0002] A cotton fabric folding machine is an automated mechanical device specifically designed for cotton fabric production and processing. It is primarily used for flattening, smoothing, and folding cotton fabric, aiming to improve the efficiency and quality of cotton fabric processing. Functionally, it replaces manual labor with an automated mechanical structure, enabling rapid and even flattening of the fabric, eliminating wrinkles and ripples, and ensuring fabric flatness. This provides high-quality raw materials for subsequent cutting, sewing, and other processes. Its folding function allows the flattened fabric to be neatly folded according to set specifications, facilitating storage, transportation, and further processing.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent number CN205187477U, which discloses a standard fabric folding machine consisting of a base plate and a pressure plate. The upper surface of the base plate has serrations, and the lower surface of the pressure plate has serrations. The serrations on the upper surface of the base plate and the lower surface of the pressure plate are compatible. This invention uses the pressure plate and the base plate to compress the fabric to be folded. Since both the pressure plate and the base plate have serrations, creases are generated on the compressed fabric. The fabric can then be folded efficiently along these creases. Furthermore, different weights of counterweights can be selected for different fabrics.

[0004] The above-mentioned technology has at least the following drawbacks:

[0005] The base plate is exposed to the outside for a long time: The base plate of the above-mentioned device is exposed to the outside for a long time. Dust and debris are easily accumulated, which can reduce the clamping accuracy and affect the fabric fixing effect. This can cause the fabric to shift or wrinkle during the flattening process. The metal parts that are exposed for a long time are prone to moisture, rust, wear and aging, which can shorten the service life of the equipment and increase maintenance costs.

[0006] Relying on manual fabric flattening: When the above-mentioned device relies on manual fabric flattening, the manual operation is slow and time-consuming, making it difficult to match the pace of industrial production. Moreover, the different strengths and techniques of different operators can lead to inconsistent fabric flattening effects, resulting in local wrinkles or excessive stretching and deformation. Long-term repetitive labor can also increase worker fatigue and further reduce the accuracy of operation. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fabric folding machine for cotton fabric processing, which can solve the problems of the above-mentioned device where the clamping base plate is exposed to the outside for a long time, and the clamping accuracy is easily reduced due to the accumulation of dust and debris, which affects the fabric fixing effect and causes the fabric to shift or wrinkle during the flattening process. The long-term exposed metal parts are prone to moisture, rust, wear and aging, shortening the service life of the equipment and increasing maintenance costs. When the above-mentioned device relies on manual flattening of fabric, the manual operation is slow and time-consuming, which is difficult to match the pace of industrial production. Moreover, the large differences in the strength and technique of different operators can easily lead to inconsistent flattening effects of the fabric, resulting in local wrinkles or excessive stretching and deformation. Long-term repetitive labor will also increase worker fatigue and further reduce the accuracy of operation.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fabric folding machine for cotton fabric processing, comprising a pressure plate and a base plate, and further comprising a stretching member disposed on the outer side of the end of the base plate, a connecting plate disposed on both sides of the base plate for driving the fabric to move to both sides, a fixing member disposed on one side of the connecting plate, and a clamping frame slidably disposed on one side of the connecting plate.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the tensioning member includes a mounting box disposed on the outer side of the base plate, a sector gear rotatably disposed on the inner side of the mounting box, a first connecting arm fixedly disposed on one side of the sector gear and connected to the outer side of the connecting plate, a second connecting arm fixedly disposed on one side of the first connecting arm, and a third connecting arm rotatably disposed on the outer side of one end of the second connecting arm and connected to the outer side of the base plate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a fourth connecting arm is rotatably provided on the inner side of the mounting box, and the outer side of the end of the fourth connecting arm is connected to one side of the connecting plate. The first connecting arm is arranged parallel to the fourth connecting arm.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a motor is mounted on the outer side of one end of the mounting box, and the outer side of the motor's main shaft is connected to one side of the sector gear.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the fastener includes a top plate fixedly disposed on the outer side of one end of the connecting plate, and a spring fixedly disposed on one side of the top plate, with one outer end of the spring connected to one side of the clamping frame.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, two bolts are provided on the inner side of the top of the clamping frame, and a clamping plate is rotatably provided on the outer side of the end of the bolts.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a slide rail is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the connecting plate, and a slider is slidably provided on one side of the slide rail, with one side of the slider connected to one side of the clamping frame.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a support arm is fixedly provided on the outer side of the top of the mounting box, and a canopy is fixedly provided on the outer side of the top of the support arm. Two telescopic cylinders are installed on the lower surface of the canopy, and the outer side of the end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the upper surface of the pressure plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. In use and when not in use, the base plate can be stored in the mounting box. In the stored state, the base plate is effectively protected, reducing the risk of dust intrusion and mechanical collision, reducing component wear, extending the service life of the equipment, and reducing the maintenance and replacement costs of enterprise equipment. When put into use, the starting motor drives a series of components to work together to quickly push the base plate out of the mounting box. After the base plate extends, it works with the first and fourth connecting arms to support the connecting plate to unfold outward, quickly completing the fabric flattening work. There is no need for manual adjustment of complex structures, simplifying the operation process, improving work efficiency, and after the base plate extends, the fabric can be precisely squeezed and other subsequent processing operations to ensure stable fabric folding quality and meet the high-efficiency requirements of industrial production.

[0018] 2. In use, when the connecting plate in this device unfolds outward, the clamping frame applies a uniform and stable tension to the fabric, which can accurately eliminate wrinkles and ripples on the fabric surface, making the fabric achieve an ideal flat state. Compared with manual operation, this automated flattening method not only greatly improves efficiency, but also ensures the consistency of the flattening effect and avoids fabric stretching deformation caused by uneven manual force. During the process of the connecting plate unfolding outward, the bottom clamping frame slides on the outside of the slide rail, while the tension spring stores elastic potential energy. Through the linkage between the spring and the slide rail, it can flexibly adapt to cotton fabrics of various lengths and specifications. Whether it is a short test fabric or a large-width industrial production fabric, the equipment can quickly respond and adjust without replacing parts or performing complex debugging, which greatly enhances the versatility of the equipment.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] In this embodiment, a fabric folding machine for cotton fabric processing is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a pressure plate 1, a base plate 2, a connecting plate 3, and a tensioning member. The pressure plate 1 is located directly above the base plate 2, and the toothed structures of the pressure plate 1 and the base plate 2 are staggered.

[0028] The tensioning component includes: a mounting box 307 sleeved on the outside of the base plate 2; a sector gear 301 rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting box 307; a first connecting arm 302 fixedly connected to one side of the sector gear 301; and a second connecting arm 303 fixedly connected to one side of the first connecting arm 302. The sector gear 301, the first connecting arm 302, and the second connecting arm 303 are integral. A third connecting arm 304 rotatably connects to the outer end of the second connecting arm 303. The third connecting arm 304 is used to drive the base plate 2 to move vertically inside the mounting box 307. One outer end of the first connecting arm 302 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting plate 3. A fourth connecting arm 306 rotatably connects to the inside of the mounting box 307. The outer end of the fourth connecting arm 306 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting plate 3. A motor 305 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting box 307. The outer side of the main shaft of the motor 305 is fixedly connected to one side of the sector gear 301, which is used to drive the sector gear 301 to rotate.

[0029] The mounting box 307 has multiple support arms 501 fixedly connected to its outer side. The top of each support arm 501 is fixedly connected to a canopy 5 for supporting the pressure plate 1. Two telescopic cylinders 502 are installed on the lower surface of the canopy 5. The bottom of each telescopic cylinder 502 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pressure plate 1 for driving the pressure plate 1 to move vertically.

[0030] It should be noted that the first connecting arm 302 and the fourth connecting arm 306 are arranged in parallel. Their parallel arrangement can ensure that the force is transmitted evenly and avoid stress concentration caused by angular deviation.

[0031] In the specific implementation process, when using the device, the user can place the fabric on the upper surface of the connecting plate 3. At this time, the motor 305 is started, and the motor 305 drives the sector gear 301 to rotate. While the sector gear 301 rotates, it will drive the first connecting arm 302 and the second connecting arm 303, which are fixedly connected to it, to rotate synchronously. This will drive the outer ends of the two third connecting arms 304 to rotate, thus pushing the bottom plate 2 out of the mounting box 307. At this time, under the support of the first connecting arm 302 and the fourth connecting arm 306, the two connecting plates 3 will be driven to unfold outward, causing the fabric to flatten. At the same time, the telescopic cylinder 502 is started to drive the pressure plate 1 to descend vertically, squeezing the fabric between the pressure plate 1 and the bottom plate 2.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Based on Example 1, this example provides a fabric folding machine for cotton fabric processing, such as... Figure 3 As shown, it includes a connecting plate 3, a clamping frame 4, and a fixing component;

[0034] The fasteners include: a top plate 401 fixedly connected to the outer side of one end of the connecting plate 3; a connecting spring 402 fixedly connected to one side of the top plate 401; a clamping frame 4 fixedly connected to the outer side of the end of the spring 402 for limiting the clamping frame 4; two slide rails 405 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 3; a slider 406 slidably connected to the inner side of one end of the slide rail 405; the upper surface of the slider 406 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the clamping frame 4 to increase the smoothness of the movement of the clamping frame 4; and two bolts 403 threadedly connected to the inner side of the top of the clamping frame 4; a clamping plate 404 rotatably connected to the outer side of the end of the bolts 403 for clamping the end of the fabric.

[0035] In the specific implementation process, when using the device, the user can place the end of the fabric inside the clamping frame 4. At this time, rotate the bolt 403, and the bolt 403 will drive the clamping plate 404 to descend vertically inside the clamping frame 4. At the same time, the clamping plate 404 and the bottom inner side of the clamping frame 4 clamp and fix the end of the fabric. When the two connecting plates 3 are unfolded outward, the clamping frame 4 will pull the fabric outward to flatten it. Then, the bottom clamping frame 4 will slide on the outside of the slide rail 405. At the same time, the spring 402 is stretched to store elastic potential energy. Through the stretching of the spring 402 and the slide rail 405, it can adapt to fabrics of different lengths and stretch them to a suitable length.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] Based on Example 1, when idle, the base plate 2 is stored in the mounting box 307. In this stored state, the base plate 2 is effectively protected, reducing the risk of dust intrusion and mechanical collisions, minimizing component wear, extending equipment lifespan, and lowering enterprise equipment maintenance and replacement costs. When put into use, the starting motor 305 drives a series of components to work together, quickly pushing the base plate 2 out of the mounting box 307. After the base plate 2 extends, it works in conjunction with the first connecting arm 302 and the fourth connecting arm 306 to support the connecting plate 3 as it unfolds outwards, quickly completing the fabric flattening process. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments to complex structures, simplifying the operation process and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, after the base plate 2 extends, it allows for precise subsequent processing operations such as fabric compression, ensuring stable fabric folding quality and meeting the high-efficiency requirements of industrial production.

[0038] Based on Example 2, when the connecting plate 3 unfolds outward in this device, the clamping frame 4 applies a uniform and stable tension to the fabric, which can accurately eliminate wrinkles and ripples on the fabric surface, making the fabric achieve an ideal flat state. Compared with manual operation, this automated flattening method not only greatly improves efficiency, but also ensures the consistency of the flattening effect and avoids fabric stretching deformation caused by uneven manual force. During the process of the connecting plate 3 unfolding outward, the bottom clamping frame 4 slides outside the slide rail 405, while the tension spring 402 stores elastic potential energy. Through the linkage between the spring 402 and the slide rail 405, it can flexibly adapt to cotton fabrics of various lengths and specifications. Whether it is a short test fabric or a large-width industrial production fabric, the equipment can respond and adjust quickly without replacing parts or performing complex debugging, which greatly enhances the versatility of the equipment.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
