Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment production line technology, and in particular to a track changing device and its garment hanging production line. Background Technology

[0002] In a garment production line, there is usually a main rail. Hanger wheels carrying hangers and garments to be processed move on the main rail. Multiple workstations are set up along the main rail. Garments need to enter at least one workstation to complete the processing. The process of entering the straight rail connected to the workstation from the main rail is achieved by a track changing device.

[0003] Existing track-changing devices generally include a drive assembly and a swing head. The drive assembly and the swing head are connected, allowing the swing head to rotate and connect with the track. The drive assembly pushes one end of the swing head to rotate, thereby causing the other end of the swing head to rotate and connect with the main track to complete the track change. A limiting mechanism for the swing head needs to be set on the track. Usually, an arc-shaped groove is opened on a limiting plate to guide the movement direction of the swing head. The rotation of the swing head is guided by the groove wall. However, the above structure has problems such as instability and complex installation. It is prone to failure in the current high-volume production mode of garment factories that require high-speed transportation of hangers. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a track-changing device.

[0005] A track-changing device includes: a base having an internal chamber for connecting to a main track in a garment production line; a drive assembly installed in the chamber; a linkage assembly installed in the chamber and connected to the drive assembly, the drive assembly capable of driving at least a portion of the linkage assembly to rotate; and a swing head located outside the chamber and connected to the rotatable portion of the linkage assembly, rotating synchronously to connect with a workstation track in the garment production line.

[0006] In one embodiment, the seat has a movable groove that communicates with the chamber, and as the drive assembly is driven, a portion of the linkage assembly can extend or retract from the movable groove.

[0007] In one embodiment, the seat includes an upper cover and a lower cover, which are detachably connected and cooperate to form the chamber;

[0008] The upper cover has a receiving groove, and the swing head is installed in the receiving groove.

[0009] In one embodiment, the upper cover has a first protrusion and a second protrusion on the side away from the lower cover. The first protrusion is used to connect to the main rail in the garment production line, and the second protrusion is used to connect to the straight rail in the garment production line.

[0010] The first protrusion, the second protrusion, and the swing head, all located away from the upper surface of the lower cover, are on the same plane.

[0011] In one embodiment, the swing head includes a rotating section and a mating section, the rotating section and the mating section being integrally formed, the rotating section being connected to the connecting rod assembly, and the width of the mating section gradually decreasing along the direction away from the rotating section.

[0012] In one embodiment, the mating section abuts against the first boss along the rotation direction of the swing head.

[0013] In one embodiment, the drive assembly includes a telescopic member and a moving head, the telescopic member being connected to the moving head and the telescopic member being capable of driving the moving head to move along the axial direction of the telescopic member, the moving head being connected to the linkage assembly.

[0014] In one embodiment, the linkage assembly includes a first link, a second link, and a rotating shaft. The first link is rotatably connected to the moving head. One end of the second link is rotatably connected to the first link, and the other end is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft passes through the base and is connected to the swing head, and is capable of rotating around its own axis. As the moving head moves away from the telescopic member, the first link drives the second link to rotate the rotating shaft.

[0015] In one embodiment, the linkage assembly further includes a first connecting pin and a second connecting pin. The moving head has a first connecting groove, and the two side walls of the first connecting groove form two first connecting arms. One end of the first connecting rod extends into the first connecting groove, and the first connecting pin passes through the first connecting arm and one end of the first connecting rod. The second connecting rod has a second connecting groove near the end of the first connecting rod, and the two side walls of the second connecting groove form two second connecting arms. The other end of the first connecting rod extends into the second connecting groove, and the second connecting pin passes through the second connecting arm and the other end of the second connecting rod.

[0016] This utility model also provides a garment hanging production line, including the track changing device described above.

[0017] Compared to existing technologies, this utility model protects the internal drive assembly and linkage assembly by setting a base, thus protecting them from interference from external environmental factors and reducing the impact of external dust, wire ends, and other impurities on the internal structure of the track-changing device. The drive assembly drives the swing arm to reciprocate through the linkage assembly. The structure is simple and stable, and it is suitable for long-term high-speed operation.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a track-changing device 100, which provides space for the drive assembly 20 and the connecting rod assembly 30 to be installed through the base 10, and protects their structure, making them more stable during long-term high-speed operation.

[0033] The track-changing device 100 includes a base 10, a drive assembly 20, a linkage assembly 30, and a swing head 40. The base 10 has an internal cavity and is used to connect to the main rail in the garment production line. The hanger wheel 60, which carries the hanger and the garment, rolls from the main rail onto the base 10. The drive assembly 20 is installed in the cavity and provides power. The linkage assembly 30 is installed in the cavity and connected to the drive assembly 20. The drive assembly 20 can drive at least a portion of the linkage assembly 30 to rotate. The swing head 40 is located outside the cavity and is connected to the rotatable portion of the linkage assembly 30, and rotates synchronously. Thus, the drive assembly 20 provides a power source, which drives the swing head 40 to rotate through the transmission effect of the linkage assembly 30. Since the swing head 40 is installed on the outside of the base 10, it changes its extension direction after rotating synchronously with the linkage assembly 30, thereby causing the hanger wheel 60 to also change direction and achieve track change. Since the swing head 40 is connected to the straight rail of the workstation in the garment production line after rotating, it can guide the hanger wheel 60 into the workstation for the next step of work.

[0034] Furthermore, the base 10 is provided with a movable groove 111, which communicates with the chamber. As the drive assembly 20 is driven, a portion of the connecting rod assembly 30 can extend or retract from the movable groove 111. Since the connecting rod assembly 30 responds to the drive assembly 20 during operation, its connecting rod will reciprocate within a certain range. The movable groove 111 provides space for the connecting rod to move, and the user can observe the internal working condition of the track-changing device 100 from the outside, which is convenient for later disassembly and maintenance.

[0035] In one embodiment, the groove wall of the movable groove 111 is spaced apart from the connecting rod assembly 30. Even if the connecting rod assembly 30 deforms or deviates from its movement path during long-term operation, the groove wall of the movable groove 111 can still keep the connecting rod assembly 30 in its normal working path by abutting against it. This design avoids interference with other components due to deformation or loosening of the connecting rod assembly 30, preventing such problems from causing the entire track-changing device 100 to stop operating and the garment production line to stop working. The bottoming effect of the movable groove 111 makes the operation of the track-changing device 100 more stable. Even if this causes friction between the connecting rod assembly 30 and the groove wall of the movable groove 111, short-term friction will not cause structural damage and only requires normal maintenance later. However, it can prevent serious production disruptions such as production line shutdowns.

[0036] The seat 10 includes an upper cover 11 and a lower cover 12, which are detachably connected and cooperate to form a cavity. In this way, the seat 10 can be divided into two parts, processed separately, and then assembled together, reducing the difficulty of manufacturing and assembly.

[0037] Specifically, the movable groove 111 is opened in the upper cover 11, and the upper cover 11 is also constructed with a receiving groove 112. The oscillating head 40 is installed in the receiving groove 112. The receiving groove 112 provides space for the oscillating head 40 to be installed and provides space for the oscillating head 40 to rotate.

[0038] The upper cover 11 has a first protrusion 113 and a second protrusion 114 on the side away from the lower cover 12. The first protrusion 113 is used to connect to the main rail in the garment production line, and the second protrusion 114 is used to connect to the straight rail in the garment production line. The upper surfaces of the first protrusion 113 away from the lower cover 12, the upper surfaces of the second protrusion 114 away from the lower cover 12, and the upper surfaces of the swing head 40 away from the lower cover 12 are all on the same plane. In this way, the hanger wheel 60 can move from the main rail to the first protrusion 113 and then flow through the swing head 40 to the second protrusion 114. Since the upper surfaces of the three are on the same plane, this makes the rolling of the hanger wheel 60 smoother and reduces bumps and swaying.

[0039] Furthermore, the swing head 40 includes a rotating section 41 and a mating section 42, which are integrally formed. The rotating section 41 is connected to the connecting rod assembly 30, and the width of the mating section 42 gradually decreases in the direction away from the rotating section 41. It should be explained that since the garment production line needs to be installed on a horizontal surface, the vertical direction mentioned above refers to the direction of gravity, while the horizontal direction is parallel to the ground. The extension direction of the swing head 40 is its length direction, and the width direction of the swing head 40 is the direction of its shorter side, which is perpendicular to its length direction. As described above, the width of the mating section 42 gradually decreases, so its width will be less than the width of the track that the hanger wheel 60 can adapt to, and a gap is left between it and the hanger wheel 60. This allows the hanger wheel 60 to roll down smoothly and fit into it, avoiding interference with the hanger wheel 60 due to its excessive width. If the width of the groove formed between the two wheels of the hanger wheel 60 is similar to the width of the swing head 40, the hanger wheel 60 will collide with the edge of the swing head 40 if its movement path deviates, causing it to deviate and fall.

[0040] Along the rotation direction of the swing head 40, the mating section 42 abuts against the first protrusion 113. In this way, the rotation angle of the swing head 40 can be limited, preventing the swing head 40 from being difficult to reset after rotating to the correct position. When the swing head 40 abuts against the first protrusion 113, its position is such that the swing head 40 has not rotated and the clothes hanger wheel 60 can continue to flow along the main rail and the changing rail device 100 on the main rail assembly line without entering the workstation.

[0041] The drive assembly 20 includes a telescopic member 21 and a moving head 22. The telescopic member 21 is connected to the moving head 22, and the telescopic member 21 can drive the moving head 22 to move along the axial direction of the telescopic member 21. Thus, the drive method of the drive assembly 20 is simple, the unidirectional telescopic structure is stable in operation, and the moving head 22 is used to connect with the linkage assembly 30. Therefore, the moving head 22 can be manufactured separately without affecting the setting of the telescopic member 21.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the telescopic component 21 is configured as a telescopic motor, which has low cost and good durability. In other embodiments, the telescopic component 21 can also be configured as a rotary motor and a lead screw structure, whereby the rotary motor drives the lead screw to rotate around its axis, and the lead screw drives the moving head 22 to reciprocate along its axis through threaded engagement with the moving head 22.

[0043] Understandably, in other embodiments, the drive assembly 20 may not have the telescopic member 21, but instead has a structure that drives the linkage assembly 30 to swing, such as a rotatable cam, so that the linkage reciprocates along the outer edge trajectory in response to the rotation of the cam, and drives the swing head 40 to rotate.

[0044] Preferably, in this embodiment, the linkage assembly 30 includes a first linkage 31, a second linkage 32, and a rotating shaft 33. The first linkage 31 is rotatably connected to the moving head 22. One end of the second linkage 32 is rotatably connected to the first linkage 31, and the other end is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 33. The rotating shaft 33 passes through the base 10 and is connected to the swing head 40, and can rotate around its own axis. As the moving head 22 moves away from the telescopic member 21, the first linkage 31 drives the second linkage 32 to rotate the rotating shaft 33. Thus, there are two rotating pairs at both ends of the first linkage 31. With the reciprocating motion of the moving head 22 in the drive assembly 20, the first linkage 31 acts as a transmission mechanism, driving the second linkage 32 to reciprocate within the range of the moving angle. The second linkage 32 rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft 33. As the second linkage 32 rotates, the rotating shaft 33 rotates synchronously. The end of the rotating shaft 33 away from the second linkage 32 passes through the base 10 and drives the swing head 40 to rotate, realizing the track-changing operation.

[0045] The linkage assembly 30 also includes a first connecting pin 34 and a second connecting pin 35. The moving head 22 has a first connecting groove 221. The two side walls of the first connecting groove 221 form two first connecting arms 222. One end of the first connecting rod 31 extends into the first connecting groove 221. The first connecting pin 34 passes through the first connecting arm 222 and one end of the first connecting rod 31. The second connecting rod 32 has a second connecting groove 321 near the end of the first connecting rod 31. The two side walls of the second connecting groove 321 form two second connecting arms 322. The other end of the first connecting rod 31 extends into the second connecting groove 321. The second connecting pin 35 passes through the second connecting arm 322 and the other end of the second connecting rod 32. Thus, the cooperation of the two first connecting arms 222 and the first connecting pin 34 increases the connection strength and rotational stability between the moving head 22 and the first connecting rod 31. The two ends of the first connecting pin 34 are limited by the two first connecting arms 222, so the first connecting pin 34 is more stable during rotation. Similarly, the rotational connection between the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 is also more stable due to the cooperation of the second connecting arm 322 and the second connecting pin 35. The above configuration increases the durability and operational stability of the track changing device 100.

[0046] This utility model also provides a garment hanging production line, including the track changing device 100 as described above.

[0047] The track-changing device 100 is connected to the frame 50 of the garment hanging production line via two brackets. The two brackets are spaced apart to stably support the track-changing device 100.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, this utility model protects the internal drive assembly 20 and connecting rod assembly 30 by setting a base 10, so that the drive assembly 20 and connecting rod assembly 30 can be protected from interference from external environmental factors, reducing the impact of external dust, wire ends and other impurities on the internal structure of the track changing device 100. The drive assembly 20 drives the swing arm to reciprocate through the connecting rod assembly 30. The structure is simple and stable and suitable for long-term high-speed operation.

[0049] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
