Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile equipment technology, specifically to a fabric cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] Fabric is produced in large quantities, and people need to cut the fabric according to the area they need. Currently, there are manual cutting and machine cutting equipment, with machine cutting equipment becoming the best choice. However, some problems also exist.
[0003] Traditional fabric cutting equipment typically employs a single cutting method (such as pure blade or pure laser cutting), making it difficult to meet the cutting needs of fabrics of varying thicknesses. Blades tend to produce burrs and generate significant resistance when cutting thick fabrics, while lasers are efficient at cutting thin fabrics but suffer from carbonization and insufficient energy when handling multi-layered thick fabrics. Although dual-mode cutting equipment exists in existing technologies, it often requires manual switching of cutting tools or can only adjust cutting parameters without automatically selecting the optimal cutting method based on fabric thickness, resulting in low efficiency and insufficient adaptability.
[0004] Therefore, a fabric cutting device is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fabric cutting device in order to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A fabric cutting device, comprising:
[0008] A cutting frame and a worktable mounted thereon, wherein a cutting groove is provided at the top of the worktable;
[0009] Limiting components are used to limit the fabric to be cut, including a support frame, an adjusting screw, and a limiting plate;
[0010] Switchable between laser cutter and blade cutter;
[0011] A rangefinder is used to measure the thickness of fabric to be cut.
[0012] The mounting frame and the drive components thereon are used to drive the laser cutter and the blade cutter to move along the direction of the cutting groove, including a slide rail, a motor, a slider and a reciprocating lead screw;
[0013] The controller automatically selects either a laser cutter or a blade cutter to perform the cutting operation based on the fabric thickness detected by the rangefinder.
[0014] Furthermore, the limiting components are distributed on both sides of the driving component, which can limit and fix both sides of the fabric to be cut. The support frame is set at the top of the worktable, the adjusting screw is rotatably set on the support frame, the limiting plate is slidably set on the support frame, and the limiting plate is connected to the adjusting screw.
[0015] Furthermore, the slide rail is located at the top inside the fixed frame, the motor is located on one side inside the slide rail, the reciprocating screw is connected to the main shaft end of the motor, the slider is slidably located inside the slide rail, and the slider is threaded onto the reciprocating screw.
[0016] Furthermore, the laser cutter and the blade cutter are arranged in the same horizontal direction, and their cutting paths are aligned with the center line of the cutting groove. The laser cutter is located at the bottom of the slider, and the blade cutter is connected to the slider via an electric telescopic rod.
[0017] Furthermore, the rangefinder is located at the top of the inside of the support frame, with its detection direction perpendicular to the surface of the workbench, and is used to measure the thickness of the fabric to be cut.
[0018] Furthermore, the controller presets a thickness threshold. When the detected thickness is greater than the thickness threshold, the blade cutter is activated; when the detected thickness is less than the thickness threshold, the laser cutter is activated.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0020] This invention uses a rangefinder to detect the fabric thickness in real time and a controller to automatically select between a laser cutter and a blade cutter, achieving intelligent switching of the optimal cutting method for fabrics of different thicknesses. The laser cutter ensures high-precision non-contact cutting of thin fabrics, while the blade cutter reliably handles thick fabrics through the extension and retraction control of an electric telescopic rod. The drive components, including the slide rail, motor, slider, and reciprocating lead screw, provide stable transmission. The support frame, adjusting lead screw, and limiting plate of the limiting components ensure stable positioning of the fabric. The cutting groove of the worktable ensures smooth cutting. The overall structure works in synergy to significantly improve cutting efficiency, quality, and automation. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0029] like Figure 1-3As shown, a fabric cutting device includes a cutting frame 1 and a worktable 2 mounted thereon, with a cutting groove 201 at the top of the worktable 2; a limiting member 4 for limiting the fabric to be cut, including a support frame 401, an adjusting screw 402, and a limiting plate 403; a switchable laser cutter 7 and a blade cutter 8; a rangefinder 10 for measuring the thickness of the fabric to be cut; a fixed frame 5 and a driving member 6 thereon for driving the laser cutter 7 and the blade cutter 8 to move along the direction of the cutting groove 201, including a slide rail 601, a motor 602, a slider 603, and a reciprocating screw 604; and a controller 3 that automatically selects the laser cutter 7 or the blade cutter 8 to perform the cutting operation based on the fabric thickness detected by the rangefinder 10. Specifically, the worktable 2 can be made of stainless steel with a polished surface to reduce fabric friction; the cutting groove 201 penetrates the worktable 2 and is lined with a polytetrafluoroethylene pad (to prevent laser reflection from damaging the blade).
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the limiting components 4 are distributed on both sides of the driving component 6, which can limit and fix the two sides of the fabric to be cut. The support frame 401 is set at the top of the worktable 2, the adjusting screw 402 is rotatably set on the support frame 401, and the limiting plate 403 is slidably set on the support frame 401. The limiting plate 403 is connected to the adjusting screw 402. Specifically, the limiting plate 403 and the support frame 401 can slide and adapt to each other through a slide rail or groove, etc., which is not limited here. The bottom of the limiting plate 403 can be provided with a soft material such as silicone to prevent the fabric from being squeezed and damaged. When in use, rotating the adjusting screw 402 can drive the limiting plate 403 to rise and fall, thus limiting the fabric of different thicknesses.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the slide rail 601 is located at the top of the inside of the fixed frame 5, the motor 602 is located on one side of the inside of the slide rail 601, the reciprocating screw 604 is connected to the main shaft end of the motor 602, and the slider 603 is slidably located inside the slide rail 601. The slider 603 is threaded onto the reciprocating screw 604. Specifically, the slider 603 is slidably engaged inside the slide rail 601. The operation of the motor 602 drives the reciprocating screw 604 to rotate, thus driving the slider 603 to slide along the direction of the slide rail 601, thereby driving the laser cutter 7 and the blade cutter 8 to move along the direction of the cutting groove 201. Because the slider 603 is engaged and slid inside the slide rail 601, the weight of the laser cutter 7 and the blade cutter 8 will not be entirely applied to the reciprocating screw 604, thus preventing it from deforming.
[0032] like Figure 2As shown, the laser cutter 7 and the blade cutter 8 are arranged in the same horizontal direction, and their cutting paths are aligned with the center line of the cutting groove 201. The laser cutter 7 is located at the bottom of the slider 603, and the blade cutter 8 is connected to the slider 603 via an electric telescopic rod 9. Specifically, the laser cutter 7 and the blade cutter 8 are arranged in a coaxial manner to avoid occupying extra workbench space. The electric telescopic rod 9 controls the extension / retraction of the blade cutter 8 to ensure that the blade does not interfere with the fabric when not in use. The horizontal distance between the laser cutter 7 and the blade cutter 8 needs to be set according to actual use (to avoid mechanical collision).
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the rangefinder 10 is installed at the top of the support frame 401, and its detection direction is perpendicular to the surface of the worktable 2. It is used to measure the thickness of the fabric to be cut. Specifically, the rangefinder 10 can measure the distance to the limiting plate 403. When unloaded, the contact between the limiting plate 403 and the surface of the worktable 2 is the reference value. After the fabric is placed in the worktable, the difference between the reading of the rangefinder 10 and the reference value is the thickness of the fabric. The rangefinder 10 can be a laser rangefinder of model Omron ZX-LD100, which has a fast response and is suitable for dynamic cutting environments.
[0034] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the controller 3 presets a thickness threshold. When the detected thickness is greater than the thickness threshold, the blade cutter 8 is started, and when the detected thickness is less than the thickness threshold, the laser cutter 7 is started. Specifically, different thickness thresholds can be set on the controller 3 according to different fabric materials. The specific threshold can be determined according to the material characteristics, and no limitation is made here.
[0035] In summary: The fabric to be cut is placed on the worktable 2 on the cutting frame 1. The support frame 401, adjusting screw 402, and limiting plate 403 of the limiting component 4 limit and fix the fabric on both sides. The rangefinder 10 vertically detects the thickness of the fabric and feeds the data back to the controller 3. The controller 3 automatically selects to start the laser cutter 7 or the blade cutter 8 according to the preset thickness threshold. When the thickness is less than the threshold, the laser cutter 7, fixed at the bottom of the slider 603, is driven by the motor 602 of the drive component 6 through the reciprocating screw 604 to move along the slide rail 601 to complete the cut. When the thickness is greater than the threshold, the controller 3 controls the electric telescopic rod 9 to extend so that the blade cutter 8 contacts the fabric and is driven by the same drive component 6 to cut. During the cutting process, the optical path of the laser cutter 7 and the blade path of the blade cutter 8 are aligned with the center line of the cutting groove 201 on the worktable 2 to achieve precise cutting. The rangefinder 10 monitors in real time to ensure accurate switching of the cutting mode. The limiting component 4 and the drive component 6 work together to ensure the stability and adaptability of the cutting process.
[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
