Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sewing technology, and in particular to a small automatic fabric receiving device for a fabric cutting machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the sewing process of fabric, the raw fabric needs to be marked with lines before being cut. After cutting, the cut fabric is removed from the raw fabric and stacked for subsequent transportation and further processing. Most existing fabric cutting machines only have the function of cutting fabric, and the cut fabric needs to be removed manually. When the area of the cut fabric is large, it is relatively easy to remove, but when the size of the cut fabric is small and the quantity is large, the efficiency of manual removal of fabric is significantly reduced. In addition, after removal, it needs to be stacked, but small fabrics are difficult to stack and cannot be stacked too high, otherwise they are easy to collapse. There is an urgent need for a device that can automatically pick up and stack fabric to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies, this utility model provides a small-scale automatic fabric receiving device for a fabric cutting machine. The device includes a mounting frame, a placement platform, and a receiving device located at the tail of the fabric cutting machine. The mounting frame is fixedly mounted on the fabric cutting machine, and the receiving device is mounted on the mounting frame and positioned above the fabric cutting machine. The receiving device includes a control system, a robotic arm assembly, a drive cylinder, a mounting plate, a connecting block, an air pump, a rubber hose, and a suction cup. The robotic arm assembly and the air pump are both mounted on the mounting frame. The drive cylinder is mounted on the robotic arm assembly. The connecting block is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate. The piston rod end of the drive cylinder is connected to the connecting block and rotates within it. The mounting plate has an installation opening that matches the suction cup, and the suction cup is fixedly installed within the installation opening. Both ends of the rubber hose are connected to the air pump and the suction cup, respectively. The robotic arm assembly, the drive cylinder, and the air pump are all connected to the control system. The placement platform is located near the tail of the fabric cutting machine and is equipped with a stabilizing stacking device for stable fabric stacking.
[0004] Using the above technical solution, by setting up an installation frame and a placement platform at the tail of the fabric cutting machine, and a material collection device including a control system, a robotic arm assembly, a drive cylinder, a mounting plate, an adapter block, an air pump, rubber hoses, and suction cups, the fabric, after being cut on the fabric cutting machine, moves along the conveyor belt of the fabric cutting machine to below the robotic arm assembly and stops. Then, according to the pre-input data, the control system controls the robotic arm assembly to move above the cut fabric. The drive cylinder controls the mounting plate to lower, and drives the suction cups to move downwards until they are in contact with the surface of the fabric. Then, the air pump starts, and the suction cups suck up the target fabric. Then, the drive cylinder retracts, and the fabric sucked up by the suction cups rises together. Then, the robotic arm assembly moves again along a preset path, transferring the fabric to above the placement platform. The drive cylinder controls the mounting plate to lower again, and after the fabric is placed on the stable stacking device, the air pump stops operating, and the suction cups release the fabric, completing the material collection and stacking work for a piece of cut fabric.
[0005] A further feature of this invention is that the stable stacking device includes a base plate, several compression springs, several movable placement plates, and several retaining edges. The retaining edges are detachably mounted on the base plate. The two ends of the compression springs are respectively connected to the base plate and the movable placement plates. Each retaining edge has a material retrieval notch for convenient removal of the stacked fabric.
[0006] Using the above technical solution, the stable stacking device includes a base plate, several compression springs, several movable placement plates, and several baffles. The baffles are detachably mounted on the base plate. The two ends of the compression springs are connected to the base plate and the movable placement plates, respectively. Each baffle has a material retrieval notch for easy access to the stacked fabric. When the fabric is stacked on the movable placement plate within the area enclosed by the baffles, as the number of fabric layers increases, the compression springs gradually contract, but the top layer of fabric can still be kept in a relatively stable position. When transferring the fabric, the entire stack of fabric can be quickly removed through the material retrieval notch.
[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the base plate is a metal plate, each of the plurality of baffles includes a plurality of small baffles, and the bottom of each of the plurality of small baffles is provided with a magnet.
[0008] Using the above technical solution, since the placement base plate is a metal plate, each of the several baffles includes several small baffles, and the bottom of each of the several small baffles is provided with a magnet. The shape of the baffles can be changed according to the different shapes of the cut fabric to adapt to the approximate shape of the fabric.
[0009] A further feature of this invention is that the number of both the material receiving device and the stable stacking device is 2.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, since the number of the receiving device and the stable stacking device are both 2, the efficiency of material handling is further improved. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0014] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a small automatic fabric receiving device for a fabric cutting machine includes a mounting frame 2, a placement platform 3, and a receiving device 4, all located at the tail of the fabric cutting machine 1. The mounting frame is fixedly mounted on the fabric cutting machine, and the receiving device is mounted on the mounting frame and located above the fabric cutting machine. The receiving device includes a control system 5, a robotic arm assembly 6, a drive cylinder 7, a mounting plate 8, a connecting block 9, an air pump 10, a rubber tube 11, and a suction cup 12. The robotic arm assembly and the air pump are both mounted on the mounting frame, the drive cylinder is mounted on the robotic arm assembly, the connecting block is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate, and the piston rod end of the drive cylinder is connected to the connecting block for rotational engagement. The mounting plate has a mounting opening 13 that matches the suction cup, and the suction cup is fixedly mounted in the mounting opening. The two ends of the rubber tube are connected to the air pump and the suction cup, respectively. The robotic arm assembly, the drive cylinder, and the air pump are all connected to the control system. The placement platform is located near the tail of the fabric cutting machine, and the placement platform is equipped with a stabilizing stacking device 14 for stable fabric stacking.
[0015] By installing a mounting frame and a placement platform at the tail of the fabric cutting machine, along with a receiving device including a control system, robotic arm assembly, drive cylinder, mounting plate, adapter block, air pump, rubber hose, and suction cups, the fabric, after being cut on the cutting machine, moves along the conveyor belt to below the robotic arm assembly and stops. The control system, based on pre-entered data, controls the robotic arm assembly to move above the cut fabric. The drive cylinder lowers the mounting plate, causing the suction cups to move downwards until they are in contact with the fabric surface. The air pump then activates, and the suction cups hold the target fabric. The drive cylinder then retracts, lifting the fabric held by the suction cups. The robotic arm assembly then moves again along a preset path, transferring the fabric to above the placement platform. The drive cylinder again lowers the mounting plate, placing the fabric on a stable stacking device. The air pump then stops, and the suction cups release the fabric, completing the receiving and stacking of a cut piece of fabric.
[0016] The stable stacking device includes a base plate 15, several compression springs 16, several movable placement plates 17, and several retaining edges 18. The retaining edges are detachably mounted on the base plate. The two ends of the compression springs are respectively connected to the base plate and the movable placement plates. Each retaining edge has a material retrieval notch 19 for easy retrieval of the stacked fabric.
[0017] The stable stacking device includes a base plate, several compression springs, several movable placement plates, and several baffles. The baffles are detachably mounted on the base plate. The two ends of the compression springs are connected to the base plate and the movable placement plates, respectively. Each baffle has a material retrieval notch for easy access to the stacked fabric. When the fabric is stacked on the movable placement plate within the area enclosed by the baffles, the compression springs gradually contract as the number of fabric layers increases, but the top layer of fabric can still be kept in a relatively stable position. When transferring the fabric, the entire stack of fabric can be quickly removed through the material retrieval notch.
[0018] The base plate is a metal plate, and each of the several baffles includes several small baffles, with a magnet 20 at the bottom of each of the several small baffles.
[0019] Since the base plate is a metal plate, each of the several baffles includes several small baffles, and the bottom of each small baffle is provided with a magnet. The shape of the baffle can be changed according to the different shapes of the cut fabric to adapt to the approximate shape of the fabric.
[0020] The number of the receiving device and the stable stacking device are both 2.
[0021] Since there are two of each of the receiving device and the stable stacking device, the efficiency of material handling is further improved.
