A material handling device for the crotch area

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of garment manufacturing, and more particularly to a crotch material dispensing device. It includes a base plate, a material dispensing mechanism mounted at the bottom of the base plate, and a transfer mechanism connected to the top. The material dispensing mechanism has a material dispenser and a material dispensing pressure block. A material dispensing groove is formed at the bottom of the material dispensing pressure block corresponding to the material dispenser, and the material dispenser is connected to a material dispensing driver. Driven by the transfer mechanism, the material dispensing mechanism descends, compressing the portion of the crotch material that abuts against the material dispensing pressure block, while the portion corresponding to the material dispensing groove can enter the groove. This application achieves this by providing a material dispensing groove on the material dispensing pressure block. The material dispensing pressure block descends under the drive of the transfer mechanism, pressing the crotch material firmly. At this time, the portion of the crotch material that abuts against the material dispensing pressure block is compressed and thinned, while the portion corresponding to the material dispensing groove is not compressed and maintains its original thickness. Therefore, this portion enters the material dispensing groove. The material dispenser, capable of entering the groove, then passes through and carries the portion of the crotch material located in the groove, thereby realizing the material dispensing action of the crotch material.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing manufacturing, and in particular to a material feeding device for the crotch area. Background Technology

[0002] Underwear generally consists of four main parts: the front panel, the back panel, the crotch, and the lining. The lining is made of a soft and thin pure cotton fabric. In the automated production process of underwear, effectively removing the lining from its storage container is a significant challenge.

[0003] Traditional methods of material handling often involve grippers or suction cups. With the former, the crotch is soft and thin, making it difficult for grippers to position and accurately grasp it. With the latter, the pure cotton crotch is very breathable, causing suction cups to not be able to generate sufficient adhesion to the crotch. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a crotch material dispensing device to solve the problem of difficulty in dispensing crotch material in the fully automated production stage of underwear in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a material handling device for the inner crotch, including a base plate, a material handling mechanism is installed at the bottom end of the base plate, and a transfer mechanism is connected to the top end of the base plate;

[0006] The material handling mechanism includes a material handling device and a material handling pressure block;

[0007] The bottom end of the material-grabbing block is provided with a material-grabbing slot corresponding to the material-grabbing device, and the material-grabbing device is connected to a material-grabbing driver.

[0008] The material handling mechanism descends under the drive of the transfer mechanism, and the part of the inner crotch that abuts against the material handling block is compressed, while the part corresponding to the material handling slot can enter the material handling slot; the material handling device enters the material handling slot under the drive of the material handling driver and penetrates the part of the inner crotch located in the material handling slot.

[0009] Preferably, the feeder includes a mounting frame and a body. One end of the body is hinged to the mounting frame, and the other end is fixed with a feeding needle facing the feeding slot. One end of the feeding driver is fixed to the mounting frame, and the actuating end of the feeding driver abuts against the middle of the body. When the feeding driver is activated, the feeding needle can enter the feeding slot.

[0010] Preferably, the material taking block includes a first part and a second part. The first part has a relief groove in the vertical direction to avoid the movement of the material taking needle. The material taking groove is located at the bottom of the second part and communicates with the relief groove.

[0011] Preferably, a reset component is provided in conjunction with the feeding driver. The two ends of the reset component are respectively connected to the substrate and the body. The reset component causes the feeding pin to move away from the feeding slot or has a tendency to move away from the feeding slot.

[0012] Preferably, the material handling mechanism is connected to the substrate via an adjustment mechanism, the adjustment mechanism including an adjustment guide rail, an adjustment block slidably disposed on the adjustment guide rail, and a set screw cooperating with the adjustment guide rail passing through the adjustment block; the material handling mechanism is connected to the adjustment block.

[0013] Preferably, the material handling mechanism and the adjusting block are elastically connected by a buffer mechanism. The buffer mechanism includes a guide rod arranged in a vertical direction, which passes through the adjusting block and / or the base plate. An elastic element is sleeved on the guide rod, and the two ends of the elastic element abut against the adjusting block and the mounting bracket, respectively.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] (1) This application provides a material-receiving groove on the material-receiving block. The material-receiving block descends under the drive of the transfer mechanism, pressing the inner crotch tightly. At this time, the part of the inner crotch that abuts against the material-receiving block is compressed and thinned, while the part corresponding to the material-receiving groove is not compressed and thus maintains its original thickness. Therefore, this part will enter the material-receiving groove. With the help of a material-receiving device that can enter the material-receiving groove, the part of the inner crotch located in the material-receiving groove is carried through, thereby realizing the material-receiving action of the inner crotch.

[0016] (2) The adjustment mechanism adopts a guide rail sliding and top screw fixing design, which can flexibly adjust the spacing of multiple material picking mechanisms, adapt to different specifications of inner crotch materials, and reduce equipment changeover costs and time.

[0017] (3) The buffer mechanism combines elastic elements and guide rods to achieve flexible pressure adjustment when the material pick-up mechanism comes into contact with the material, preventing the material from being damaged by rigid impact, while ensuring uniform clamping force.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0025] A crotch material feeding device is used to perform crotch material feeding operations during the production of underwear.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, it includes a substrate 1, with a transfer mechanism 2 connected to the top of the substrate 1 and multiple material handling mechanisms 3 installed at the bottom.

[0027] Among them, the transfer mechanism 2 can drive the substrate 1 and the material handling mechanism 3 to perform lifting and lowering actions, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the material handling mechanism 3 has a material handling device 31 and a material handling block 32, and a material handling groove 324 is provided at the bottom end of the material handling block 32.

[0028] In the application scenario of this application, the inner crotch is placed below the material-receiving pressure block 32. The material-receiving pressure block 32 descends under the action of the transfer mechanism 2, pressing the inner crotch tightly. At this time, the portion of the inner crotch that abuts against the material-receiving pressure block 32 is compressed and thinned, while the portion corresponding to the material-receiving groove 324 remains unpressurized and retains its original thickness. Therefore, this portion will enter the material-receiving groove 324. The material-receiving device 31 is connected to a material-receiving driver 33, which drives the material-receiving device 31 to move, enabling the material-receiving device 31 to enter the material-receiving groove 324 and penetrate the portion of the inner crotch located in the material-receiving groove 324. This allows the penetrated inner crotch to move with the transfer mechanism 2, completing the material-receiving operation.

[0029] Specifically, the feeder 31 includes a mounting frame 311 and a body 312. The top of the mounting frame 311 is fixed to the base plate 1. One end of the body 312 is hinged to the mounting frame 311 via a rotating shaft vertically mounted on the side wall of the mounting frame 311, so that the body 312 can swing along the vertical plane. The feeder block 32 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting frame 311 in the horizontal direction.

[0030] One end of the pick-up driver 33 is fixed to the side of the mounting bracket 311 away from the pick-up pressure block 32 relative to the body 312. The actuating end of the pick-up driver 33 abuts against the middle of the body 312. A pick-up needle 313 is fixed to the end of the body 312 away from the hinge end, facing the pick-up pressure block 32. When the pick-up driver 33 is activated, it can drive the body 312 to swing towards the pick-up pressure block 32, causing the pick-up needle 313 to enter the pick-up groove 324. A reset member 34 is provided in conjunction with the pick-up driver 33. The two ends of the reset member 34 are respectively connected to the substrate 1 and the body 312 (in... Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, end a of the reset member 34 is connected to end a' of the main body 312. When the actuator of the pick-up driver 33 does not exert a thrust on the main body 312, the reset member 34 pulls the main body 312, causing the pick-up needle 313 to leave the pick-up slot 324. In this embodiment, the pick-up driver 33 is a cylinder, and the reset member 34 is a spring.

[0031] The material-retrieving block includes a first part 321 and a second part 322. The first part 321 is located close to the body 312 and has a relief groove 323 for avoiding the movement of the material-retrieving needle 313. The material-retrieving groove 324 is located at the bottom end of the second part 322 near the first part 321 and communicates with the relief groove 323.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the material handling mechanism 3 is connected to the base plate 1 via an adjustment mechanism 4, which is used to adjust the spacing between multiple material handling mechanisms 3, thereby accommodating material handling operations for inlets of different sizes. The adjustment mechanism 4 includes an adjustment guide rail 41, an adjustment block 42 slidably disposed on the adjustment guide rail 41, and a set screw 43 that cooperates with the adjustment guide rail 41 passing through the adjustment block 42. The set screw 43 is used to fix the position of the adjustment block 42 relative to the adjustment guide rail 41. The material handling mechanism 3 is installed below the adjustment block 42.

[0033] Furthermore, the material-taking mechanism 3 and the adjusting block 42 are elastically connected by a buffer mechanism 5, making the pressure of the material-taking mechanism 3 against the inner crotch more gentle when driven by the transfer mechanism 2. The buffer mechanism 5 includes a guide rod 51 arranged vertically, which passes through the adjusting block 42 and the base plate 1, and an elastic element 52 is sleeved on the guide rod 51. The two ends of the elastic element 52 abut against the adjusting block 42 and the mounting bracket 311, respectively. In this embodiment, the elastic element 52 is a spring.

They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects.
