Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of leather processing equipment, specifically to an automatic feeding CNC leather layout machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the leather processing industry, traditional leather layout machines have some unresolved issues during operation, which seriously affect production efficiency, product quality, and the working environment of workers.
[0003] Traditional leather layout machines mostly rely on manual feeding, which is inefficient. Each time leather is moved and placed manually, it takes time, especially when processing large quantities of leather. The feeding process can become a bottleneck in the entire production process. In large leather processing plants, thousands of pieces of leather need to be processed every day, which greatly extends the overall production cycle. In addition, manual feeding also has the problem of inconsistency. Different workers may have different feeding speeds and placement methods, which will result in different initial layout positions and leather placement states for each batch of products in mass production, affecting the standardized production of products.
[0004] For example, in a garment pattern making machine with announcement number CN222480113U, a support base plate is installed at the lower end of the support box, and universal wheels are installed at the lower end of the support base plate to facilitate the movement of the garment pattern making machine body. By rotating the rotating ring, the control components cannot be rotated, thereby maintaining the stability of the garment pattern making machine body. In the use of the above-mentioned pattern making machine, manual feeding is inefficient, time-consuming, and the material position is difficult to be accurate, affecting the pattern making accuracy and product quality. However, it also has other problems, such as the traditional method of manually smoothing leather on the work platform. This method is not only inefficient, but also makes it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of flattening. The leather area is large and the texture is soft, and it is difficult to make the entire leather surface completely flat by hand. Wrinkles or unevenness often occur, which will cause the layout pattern to be deformed on the leather and the cutting position to be inaccurate, seriously affecting the product quality. In order to avoid cutting errors caused by uneven leather, it is often necessary to leave more blank areas, which undoubtedly causes a lot of waste of leather materials. Moreover, manual smoothing of leather also has hygiene problems. During the manual operation, stains, dust and other substances may be brought to the leather, affecting the quality of the leather. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic feeding CNC leather layout machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as low efficiency, long time consumption, difficulty in accurate material positioning, affecting layout accuracy and product quality, and difficulty in making the entire leather surface completely flat by manual smoothing, with wrinkles or unevenness occurring frequently.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeding CNC leather typesetting machine, comprising a typesetting machine body and a working platform disposed at the lower end of the typesetting machine body; a leather body is disposed at the upper end of the working platform, a support frame is disposed at the right end of the typesetting machine body, and a robotic arm is mounted on the upper end of the support frame; an automatic feeding mechanism is disposed at the upper end of the support frame, and a pusher is fixedly mounted on the left side of the upper end of the robotic arm; a motor is fixedly mounted at the upper end of the typesetting machine body, a flattening mechanism is disposed inside the typesetting machine body, and a drive gear is fixedly mounted at the output end of the motor, with meshing teeth disposed at both ends of the drive gear.
[0007] Furthermore, the automatic feeding mechanism includes a vacuum suction cup fixedly installed at the output end of the pusher, an industrial camera fixedly installed on the front side of the upper end of the robotic arm, a control center fixedly installed in the middle of the front end of the support frame, and a processing center installed at the right end of the control center.
[0008] Furthermore, the processing center, control center, industrial camera, and robotic arm are interconnected, and the support frame is slidably equipped with a placement box, with a leather body placed inside the placement box.
[0009] Furthermore, the flattening mechanism includes a rotating shaft rotatably mounted inside the upper part of the typesetting machine body, and a driven gear is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the rotating shaft, and the driven gear has a meshing tooth on its right end.
[0010] Furthermore, the driving gear and the driven gear mesh with each other, and a flattening rod is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft, and the flattening rod is installed at the upper end of the leather body.
[0011] Furthermore, a guide groove is fixedly installed at the upper end of the typesetting machine body, and the guide groove is slidably mounted on the driven gear, and a straight toothed rack is slidably installed inside the guide groove.
[0012] Furthermore, the spur rack meshes with the driven gear and also meshes with the driving gear.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. An industrial camera inspects the position of the work platform. Images captured by the industrial camera and scanned positions are transmitted to the processing center for analysis and calculation of positional deviation information. The control center then controls the robotic arm to make fine adjustments, which in turn moves the vacuum suction cup. The vacuum suction cup places the leather body in a suitable posture onto the work platform at the lower end of the typesetting machine body, improving production efficiency, enabling rapid and continuous feeding, enhancing typesetting accuracy, precisely positioning the leather, and ensuring product quality.
[0015] Furthermore, the automatic feeding system enables continuous and rapid feeding, which greatly shortens the feeding time for each piece of leather compared to manual feeding. In large-scale production scenarios, it can significantly reduce the time compared to manual feeding, improve overall production efficiency, and effectively alleviate the constraints of the feeding process on the production flow. It can not only meet the growing market order demand, but also help enterprises complete more production tasks in the same amount of time, thereby improving the economic benefits of enterprises.
[0016] Furthermore, this ensures that each piece of leather can be precisely placed in the designated position on the typesetting machine, with positional deviations controlled to a very small range. This significantly improves typesetting accuracy, making subsequent cutting and processing more precise and effectively guaranteeing product quality. It not only reduces worker fatigue but also allows workers to devote more energy to other more valuable work processes, reducing staff turnover caused by high workload and ensuring the stability of enterprise production.
[0017] 2. After the robotic arm places the leather body on the work platform, the motor starts working. Its output end drives the drive gear to rotate. The drive gear and the driven gear mesh with each other. The rotating shaft drives the flattening rod at the lower end to rotate. The drive gear also drives the spur rack to move in the guide groove, so that the driven gear can move back and forth, which in turn drives the flattening rod to move back and forth. This achieves repeated flattening of the leather body, ensuring product quality, saving material costs, and reducing waste.
[0018] Furthermore, it effectively avoids the problem of pattern deformation or inaccurate cutting position caused by leather wrinkles or unevenness. In complex pattern layout and high-precision cutting scenarios, the integrity of the product pattern and the cutting accuracy are significantly improved, the utilization rate of leather materials can be increased, the manual smoothing of leather is reduced, the flattening process is automated, production efficiency is improved, and the product quality difference caused by inconsistent manual operation is reduced.

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.
[0027] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6 This utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeding CNC leather typesetting machine, including a typesetting machine body 1 and a working platform 2 set at the lower end of the typesetting machine body 1; a leather body 3 is set at the upper end of the working platform 2, a support frame 4 is set at the right end of the typesetting machine body 1, and a robotic arm 5 is installed at the upper end of the support frame 4; an automatic feeding mechanism is set at the upper end of the support frame 4, and a pusher 6 is fixedly installed on the left side of the upper end of the robotic arm 5; a motor 7 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the typesetting machine body 1, and a flattening mechanism is set inside the typesetting machine body 1. The output end of the machine 7 is fixedly equipped with a drive gear 8, and the drive gear 8 has meshing teeth at both ends. The automatic feeding mechanism includes a vacuum suction cup 9 fixedly installed at the output end of the pusher 6. An industrial camera 10 is fixedly installed on the front side of the upper end of the robotic arm 5. A control center 11 is fixedly installed in the middle of the front end of the support frame 4, and a processing center 12 is installed on the right end of the control center 11. The processing center 12, the control center 11, the industrial camera 10 and the robotic arm 5 are interconnected. A placement box 13 is slidably installed on the support frame 4, and a leather body 3 is placed inside the placement box 13.
[0028] First, the robotic arm 5 moves the vacuum suction cup 9 to the top of the placement box 13. The pusher 6 then moves the vacuum suction cup 9, causing it to generate negative pressure to adhere to the leather body 3 inside the placement box 13, ensuring a firm grip. Next, the industrial camera 10 checks the position of the work platform 2. The image captured by the industrial camera 10 and the scanned position are transmitted to the processing center 12 for analysis and processing to calculate the position deviation information. The control center 11 then controls the robotic arm 5 to make fine adjustments, and the pusher 6 moves the vacuum suction cup 9. The vacuum suction cup 9 places the leather body 3 in a suitable posture onto the work platform 2 at the lower end of the typesetting machine body 1.
[0029] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a leveling mechanism is also disclosed, the specific structure of which is as follows:

The driving gear 8 meshes with the driven gear 15. A flattening rod 16 is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the rotating shaft 14 and is mounted on the upper part of the leather body 3. A guide groove 17 is fixedly mounted inside the upper part of the typesetting machine body 1 and slides on the driven gear 15. A spur rack 18 is slidably mounted inside the guide groove 17. The spur rack 18 meshes with the driven gear 15 and with the driving gear 8.
[0031] After the robotic arm 5 places the leather body 3 on the work platform 2, the motor 7 starts working, and its output end drives the drive gear 8 to rotate. The drive gear 8 meshes with the driven gear 15, thereby driving the driven gear 15 to rotate. The driven gear 15 then drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 14 drives the flattening rod 16 at the lower end to rotate accordingly. At the same time, the drive gear 8 also drives the spur rack 18 to move in the guide groove 17. Then, the spur rack 18 meshes with the driven gear 15, so that the driven gear 15 can move back and forth, thereby driving the flattening rod 16 to move back and forth as well, so as to achieve repeated flattening of the leather body 3.
