Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fabric clip technology, and more specifically, to an airbag-type fabric clip. Background Technology

[0002] Fabric clips are a key component of embroidery machines, mainly used to fix and stabilize the fabric during the embroidery process, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the embroidery.

[0003] Traditional fabric clamps are usually clamped and removed manually, which not only requires a long operation time, but also relies heavily on the operator's experience. Fluctuations in clamping pressure may cause defects in the embroidery, so manual calibration is required repeatedly, resulting in extremely high labor costs. It is only suitable for low-volume, multi-variety, and frequent fabric changes. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application is proposed. The advantage of this application lies in providing an airbag-type fabric clamp. When the airbag is depressurized, the arc-shaped flanges on the two clamping arms hold and fix the fabric. An inflation device supplies air to the airbag, causing it to expand and thus opening the two clamping arms. At this point, the arc-shaped flanges of the clamping arms release the fabric. This method effectively improves the efficiency and accuracy of fabric fixation and reduces manual labor intensity. Furthermore, the connection method between the clamping arms and the connecting parts simplifies the overall structure of the fabric clamp and reduces the difficulty of its processing and manufacturing.

[0005] To achieve at least one of the above advantages, this application provides an airbag-type fabric clip, including a clamping member comprising two clamping arms; a connecting member connecting the two clamping arms and forming two airbag mounting cavities between the connecting member and the clamping arms; an airbag disposed within the airbag mounting cavities; and an inflation device communicating with the airbag to control the inflation and deflation of the airbag.

[0006] In the above-mentioned airbag-type fabric clamp, the connector includes a connecting part and an airbag limiting member. The connecting part connects two clamping arms, and the airbag limiting member is disposed between the two clamping arms. The airbag limiting member includes a mounting part and a limiting part. The mounting part is fixedly connected to the connecting part, and the limiting part bends and extends from both ends of the mounting part, forming the airbag mounting cavity between the mounting part and the clamping arms.

[0007] In the aforementioned airbag-type fabric clamp, the connecting part is integrally bent and formed with the two clamping arms.

[0008] In the aforementioned airbag-type fabric clip, the mounting portion and the connecting portion are detachably fixed together by a fastener.

[0009] In the aforementioned airbag-type fabric clamp, the connecting member is sleeved on the outside of the two clamping arms, connecting the two clamping arms into one unit.

[0010] In the above-mentioned airbag-type fabric clamp, the connector includes a connecting part, a limiting part, and a fixing part. The connecting part is disposed on the upper side of the two clamping arms. The limiting part bends and extends from both ends of the connecting part and forms the airbag mounting cavity between the clamping arms. The fixing part extends integrally from the limiting part and is fixedly connected to the outer side of the clamping arm.

[0011] In the aforementioned airbag-type fabric clamp, both ends of the clamping arms away from the connector are provided with arc-shaped flanges.

[0012] In the aforementioned airbag-type fabric clamp, the arc-shaped flange is bent inward from the end of the clamping arm.

[0013] In the aforementioned airbag-type fabric clamp, the arc-shaped flange is bent outward from the end of the clamping arm.

[0014] In the aforementioned airbag-type fabric clip, the inflation device is located in the middle of the connector.

[0028] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments according to this application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments of this application. It should be understood that this application is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein.

[0029] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0030] In the disclosure of this utility model, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0031] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the structure of the airbag-type fabric clip according to Embodiment 1 of this application is illustrated. The airbag-type fabric clip includes a clamping member 1, a connecting member 2, an airbag 3, and an inflation device 4. The clamping member 1 includes two clamping arms 11. The connecting member 2 connects the two clamping arms 11 and forms two airbag mounting cavities 100 between the connecting member 2 and the clamping arms 11. The airbag 3 is disposed within the airbag mounting cavity 100. The inflation device 4 communicates with the airbag 3 to control the inflation and deflation of the airbag 3.

[0032] During the embroidery process, the airbag 3 is in a depressurized state, and the clamping arm 11 clamps and fixes the fabric. When the inflation device 4 supplies air to the airbag 3, the airbag 3 expands and opens the two clamping arms 11, and the clamping arms 11 release the fabric. When the inflation device 4 deflates the airbag 3, the clamping arms 11 return to the initial state under the action of the rebound force and clamp and fix the fabric again.

[0033] Specifically, the connector 2 includes a connecting portion 21 and an airbag limiting member 22. The connecting portion 21 connects the two clamping arms 11. The airbag limiting member 22 is disposed between the two clamping arms 11. The airbag limiting member 22 includes a mounting portion 221 and a limiting portion 222. The mounting portion 221 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 21. The limiting portion 222 bends and extends from both ends of the mounting portion 221 and forms the airbag mounting cavity 100 between itself and the inner side of the clamping arms 11.

[0034] Specifically, the mounting portion 221 and the connecting portion 21 are detachably fixed together by a fastener 5, and the connecting portion 21 is integrally bent and formed with the two clamping arms 11. It should be understood that the fastener 5 can be connected by bolts, riveting, welding, etc., and this application does not impose specific limitations. The connection method between the clamping arms 11 and the connecting portion 2 simplifies the overall structure of the fabric clamp and reduces the difficulty of fabric clamp processing and manufacturing.

[0035] Furthermore, both clamping arms 11 have arc-shaped flanges 12 at their ends away from the connector 2. The fabric is secured and clamped by these arc-shaped flanges 12. In this application example, the arc-shaped flanges 12 are bent outwards from the ends of the clamping arms 11. It should be understood that the arc-shaped flanges 12 are bent inwards from the ends of the clamping arms 11, and this is not specifically limited in this application.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the structure of the airbag-type fabric clamp according to Embodiment 2 of this application is illustrated. The connector 2A is sleeved over the two clamping arms 11, connecting the two clamping arms 11 into a single unit.

[0037] Specifically, the connector 2A includes a connecting portion 21A, a limiting portion 22A, and a fixing portion 23A. The connecting portion 21A is disposed on the upper side of the two clamping arms 11. The limiting portion 22A extends and bends from both ends of the connecting portion 21A, forming the airbag mounting cavity 100 between itself and the outer side of the clamping arm 11. The fixing portion 23A extends integrally from the limiting portion 22A and is fixedly connected to the outer side of the clamping arm 11. In this way, when the airbag 3 is inflated, the clamping arm 11, along with the fixing portion 23A, is stretched open, thereby releasing the fabric.

[0038] Furthermore, both clamping arms 11 have arc-shaped flanges 12 at their ends away from the connector 2. The fabric is secured and clamped by these arc-shaped flanges 12. In this application example, the arc-shaped flanges 12 are bent outwards from the ends of the clamping arms 11. It should be understood that the arc-shaped flanges 12 are bent inwards from the ends of the clamping arms 11, and this is not specifically limited in this application.

[0039] Preferably, in Embodiments 1 and 2 of this application, the inflation device 4 is disposed in the middle of the connector 2 (2A). In this way, the inflation device 4 can inflate / deflate the entire airbag more promptly.

[0040] In summary, this application provides an airbag-type fabric clamp. When the airbag 3 is in a depressurized state, the arc-shaped flanges 12 on the two clamping arms 11 clamp and fix the fabric. The airbag 3 is inflated by the inflation device 4, thereby opening the two clamping arms 11. At this time, the arc-shaped flanges 12 of the clamping arms 11 release the fabric. In this way, the efficiency and accuracy of fabric fixing are effectively improved, and the intensity of manual labor is reduced. In addition, the connection method between the clamping arms 11 and the connector 2 (2A) simplifies the overall structure of the fabric clamp and reduces the processing and manufacturing difficulty of the fabric clamp.

[0041] The basic principles of this application have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. However, it should be noted that the advantages, benefits, and effects mentioned in this application are merely examples and not limitations, and should not be considered as essential features of each embodiment of this application. Furthermore, the specific details disclosed above are for illustrative and facilitative purposes only, and are not limitations. These details do not limit the application to the necessity of employing the aforementioned specific details for implementation.
