Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sewing equipment technology, and specifically to a sewing system. Background Technology

[0002] A template sewing machine (or template machine for short) is a specialized device that uses pre-made templates to assist in sewing operations. Its core principle is to use templates made of materials such as metal, plastic, or wood to precisely position the sewing path and shape of the fabric, allowing the sewing machine needle to automatically sew along the preset trajectory. This replaces the tedious process of traditional manual drawing and positioning, significantly improving sewing efficiency and precision, and is widely used in clothing, home textiles, leather bags, and other fields.

[0003] Existing template machines typically include a sewing platform, a cantilever mounted on the sewing platform, an upper sewing head mounted on the cantilever, a lower sewing head mounted on the sewing platform and corresponding to the upper sewing head, a clamping mechanism for holding the template, an adjustment module for adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism, a control module, etc., as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper and lower sewing heads work together to complete the sewing action; the adjustment module is connected to the clamping mechanism and is used to drive the clamping mechanism to move along the width or length of the sewing platform so as to adjust the position of the template clamped in the clamping mechanism so that the position of the template can be adapted to the sewing action.

[0004] To improve sewing efficiency, existing template machines are also equipped with collaborative robots (robotic arms) and feeding tables, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 As shown, each template machine has a corresponding collaborative robot at its front end (i.e., the collaborative robot is installed on the outside of the front end of the template machine), forming a sewing system together. The working area of ​​the collaborative robot covers the front end of the template machine, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3As shown by the dotted circle in the diagram; the loading platform is mainly used to place templates. The collaborative robot is equipped with a gripping mechanism for picking up templates, enabling it to grab templates from the loading platform and transfer them to the template machine for automatic loading. Simultaneously, the collaborative robot can also grab templates from the template machine and transfer them to the loading platform for automatic unloading. This sewing system helps reduce labor costs. However, in practical applications, the following shortcomings have been found: 1. For existing template machines, tasks such as bobbin insertion, threading, and needle changing can usually only be performed at the front end of the template machine. Therefore, when bobbin insertion, threading, or needle changing is required, the operator must operate at the front end of the template machine. At this time, the operator is completely within the working range of the collaborative robot. On the one hand, all equipment within the entire sewing system must be turned off before these tasks can be performed, severely impacting sewing efficiency. On the other hand, because the operator is completely within the working range of the collaborative robot, there is a significant safety risk. If someone accidentally touches the start switch, the collaborative robot will start and could injure the operator. 2. If a device in the sewing system malfunctions, all devices in the entire sewing system must be shut down before repairs and troubleshooting can be carried out. This prevents the remaining template machines from continuing to operate, and due to the obstruction of the collaborative robot, the other normal template machines cannot be manually operated, thus seriously affecting sewing efficiency. Therefore, how to improve the safety and sewing efficiency of the sewing system is an urgent issue to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The first aspect of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems by providing a sewing system that is more convenient to use, not only safer, but also effectively guarantees and improves sewing efficiency.

[0006] A sewing system includes a template machine for sewing, a cooperating device, and a loading platform. The template machine includes a sewing platform and a cantilever, with the two ends along the length of the sewing platform being the front and rear ends of the template machine, respectively. The cantilever is connected to the rear end of the sewing platform and extends towards the front end. The cooperating device includes a robotic arm and a gripping mechanism for gripping the template. The gripping mechanism is connected to the robotic arm, and the robotic arm is used to adjust the position of the gripping mechanism. The robotic arm is located behind the rear end of the template machine, and the loading platform is located on one side of the robotic arm. The gripping mechanism can grip or release the template on the loading platform and can also grip or release the template on the template machine. In this solution, by placing the collaborative device behind the rear of the template machine, the device does not occupy the space at the front of the template machine. This allows the collaborative robot's working range to cover only the rear of the template machine. Firstly, this design allows workers to perform tasks such as bobbin insertion, threading, and needle changing from the outside of the front of the template machine, eliminating the need for workers to enter the collaborative robot's working area, which is not only convenient but also significantly improves safety. Secondly, this operation only requires shutting down the corresponding template machine, without shutting down the entire system, allowing other equipment to operate normally, thus improving sewing efficiency. Thirdly, if a template machine malfunctions, it can be shut down for repair and troubleshooting, while other equipment in the system continues to operate normally, further improving sewing efficiency. Fourthly, if the collaborative robot malfunctions, workers can perform manual sewing operations at the front of the template machine, ensuring the sewing process continues normally. Therefore, this system can operate in both automatic and manual sewing modes, better meeting market demands.

[0007] Preferably, the system includes at least two template machines, with the rear end of each template machine corresponding to the cooperating device. The loading platform and each template machine are arranged along the circumference of the cooperating device. This design not only allows one cooperating device to provide or remove templates for at least two template machines, improving efficiency and reducing costs, but also significantly enhances safety and facilitates equipment managers in checking or adjusting the operating status of the template machines at any time.

[0008] Preferably, each template machine is evenly arranged along the circumference of the cooperating device.

[0009] Preferably, the system includes three template machines, with the loading platform and the three template machines evenly distributed along the circumference of the cooperating device. This allows the loading platform and the three template machines to form a cross shape, enclosing the cooperating device inside. The front end of each template machine is located away from the cooperating device, which not only facilitates operations by personnel outside the front end of each template machine, making it very safe and convenient, but also effectively prevents personnel from entering the working range of the robotic arm, further improving safety.

[0010] The second aspect of this invention addresses the issues of cost reduction and the risk of collision between the robotic arm and the template machine. Further, the collaborative device includes a mounting frame positioned behind the rear end of the template machine, with the robotic arm mounted on top of the mounting frame. The mounting frame supports the robotic arm. This facilitates the installation of the robotic arm and increases its installation height. On one hand, it reduces the required length of the robotic arm, allowing for the selection of a shorter arm with the same installation spacing, thus reducing costs. On the other hand, it helps prevent collisions or interference between the robotic arm and the rear end of the template machine, and also simplifies the control algorithm for the robotic arm.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the mounting frame has a mounting section for mounting a robotic arm, which is detachably mounted to the mounting frame via fasteners that fit the mounting section. This facilitates the installation and removal of the robotic arm.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the mounting frame has a mounting surface, which is planar, and the mounting portion is constructed within the mounting surface. This allows the mounting surface to contact and support the lower end of the robotic arm, thereby facilitating a more stable installation of the robotic arm.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting portion includes a through hole or a threaded hole.

[0014] To further address the issue of facilitating leveling of the mounting surface, the bottom of the mounting bracket is also equipped with multiple leveling structures for quick leveling.

[0015] Preferably, the mounting surface in the mounting frame is flush with the upper surface of the sewing platform in the template machine, or the mounting surface in the mounting frame is higher than the upper surface of the sewing platform in the template machine. This facilitates the use of a smaller robotic arm, thereby reducing costs, and further prevents the robotic arm from colliding or interfering with the rear end of the template machine.

[0016] The third aspect of this utility model addresses the problem of improving assembly efficiency and reducing subsequent debugging difficulty. Further, the mounting frame is constructed with a positioning group, which includes a positioning part. A connector is connected to the rear end of the template machine. The connector has a first connecting part adapted to the positioning part. The connector is detachably connected to the mounting frame via fasteners that adapt to the first connecting part and the positioning part. With this design, during assembly, the assembler can position the cooperating device or template machine by the cooperation of the first connecting part and the positioning part, ensuring a very accurate relative position between the cooperating device and the template machine, effectively improving assembly efficiency. Simultaneously, the assembler can fix the connector to the mounting frame using fasteners that adapt to the first connecting part and the positioning part, ensuring that the relative position between the cooperating device and the template machine remains unchanged. The consistent relative positions of each template machine and the cooperating device not only facilitate the installation of each template machine at a predetermined position around the cooperating device, greatly reducing the difficulty of subsequent debugging of the robotic arm, but also allow the robotic arm to move more efficiently and accurately to each loading position.

[0017] For ease of transport and assembly, the connector is detachably attached to the rear end of the template machine.

[0018] Preferably, the positioning group includes multiple positioning parts; the connectors are configured with multiple first connecting parts adapted to each positioning part, or the template machine is connected to multiple connectors, each connector being configured with a first connecting part adapted to each positioning part. This allows the mounting frame and the template machine to be positioned and connected through multiple connectors, thereby further improving positioning accuracy and ensuring a more accurate installation orientation for each template machine.

[0019] Preferably, the positioning part is a through hole or threaded hole constructed on the mounting bracket; the first connecting part is a through hole or threaded hole adapted to the positioning part.

[0020] Furthermore, the loading platform is detachably connected to a connector, which has a first connecting part that adapts to the positioning part. The connector is detachably connected to the mounting frame via fasteners that adapt to the first connecting part and the positioning part. This integrates the loading platform and the mounting frame, ensuring precise relative positioning between them, thereby improving assembly efficiency and reducing the difficulty of subsequent debugging.

[0021] To further improve the stability of the mounting frame, in the positioning assembly, one part of the positioning parts is located at the upper part of the mounting frame, and another part is located at the lower part of the mounting frame. This allows for multiple connecting parts to be installed between the mounting frame and the template machine or loading platform along the height direction of the mounting frame. This serves both to position and constrain the relative position between the mounting frame and the template machine, and to prevent the mounting frame from tilting or tipping over, thus improving the stability of the mounting frame.

[0022] Preferably, the mounting frame has multiple positioning groups, each evenly distributed along the circumference of the mounting frame. This allows for connection to a template machine and / or a loading platform as needed, significantly improving versatility.

[0023] Preferably, the mounting frame has two positioning groups, which are respectively located on both sides of the mounting frame and are symmetrically arranged. One positioning group is connected to the template machine through a connector, and the mounting frame is located behind the rear end of the template machine. The other positioning group is connected to the loading platform through a connector, and the template machine and the loading platform are respectively located on both sides of the mounting frame.

[0024] Alternatively, the mounting frame may have four positioning groups, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the mounting frame; three of the positioning groups are connected to three template machines via connectors, and the mounting frame is located behind the rear end of each template machine; the other positioning group is connected to the loading platform via connectors.

[0025] Preferably, the template machine further includes a clamping mechanism for clamping the template and an adjustment module. The sewing platform includes a frame for support and a table set on the top of the frame, with a cantilever fixed to the frame. The clamping mechanism is located above the table, and the adjustment module is connected to the clamping mechanism for adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism on the table.

[0026] Preferably, the template machine further includes an upper machine head disposed on the cantilever and a touch screen disposed at the front end of the cantilever.

[0027] Preferably, the adjustment module includes a Y-direction linear module arranged along the length direction of the sewing platform and an X-direction linear module arranged along the width direction of the sewing platform. The Y-direction linear module includes a Y-direction power source, a linear transmission mechanism, and a support frame. The Y-direction power source is fixed to the sewing platform and is connected to the linear transmission mechanism. The linear transmission mechanism is connected to the support frame. The Y-direction power source drives the support frame to move linearly along the length direction of the sewing platform through the linear transmission mechanism.

[0028] The X-axis linear module includes an X-axis power source and a linear transmission mechanism. The linear transmission mechanism is fixedly connected to the support frame. The X-axis power source is connected to the linear transmission mechanism, and the linear transmission mechanism is connected to the clamping mechanism. The X-axis power source drives the clamping mechanism to move linearly along the width direction of the sewing platform through the linear transmission mechanism.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the sewing system provided by this utility model can not only significantly improve safety and facilitate equipment managers to check and adjust the operating status of the template machine at any time, but also effectively guarantee and improve sewing efficiency, and better meet market demands.

Detailed Implementation

[0047] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0048] This embodiment provides a sewing system, including a template machine 1, a cooperating device, and a loading platform 6. The template machine 1 is mainly used for sewing. In implementation, an existing template machine 1 can be used. For example, the template machine 1 includes a cantilever 13, a sewing head 14, a sewing platform, a clamping mechanism 24 for clamping the template 7, and an adjustment module for adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism 24. The sewing platform includes a frame 11 for support and a table 12 horizontally disposed on top of the frame 11. The table 12 provides the space required for sewing, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.

[0049] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the cantilever 13 is mounted on the frame 11, and the upper sewing head 14 is suspended from the cantilever 13 and located above the sewing platform; in practice, the end of the cantilever 13 connected to the frame 11 is the rear end of the template machine 1, as shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the other end of the cantilever 13 extends toward the front end of the sewing platform; therefore, in this embodiment, the two ends along the length direction of the sewing platform are the front end and the rear end of the template machine 1, respectively, and the length direction of the cantilever 13 is consistent with the length direction and the Y direction of the sewing platform.

[0050] In a more complete embodiment, the template machine 1 also includes a touch screen 15 located at the end of the cantilever 13. The touch screen 15 is connected to the control module inside the template machine 1. In actual use, when the worker 8 stands on the outside of the front end of the template machine 1, such as Figure 4 Right now Figure 5 As shown, the worker 8 can face the touch screen 15, so that the worker 8 can more conveniently adjust and set relevant parameters through the touch screen 15, and can also more conveniently select the required sewing style through the touch screen 15.

[0051] The adjustment module is connected to the clamping mechanism 24 via a transmission. The adjustment mechanism has at least degrees of freedom along the length direction (Y direction) and the width direction (X direction) of the sewing platform, so that the clamping mechanism 24 can be driven to move along the length and width directions of the sewing platform by the adjustment module, so as to effectively adjust the position of the clamping mechanism 24 on the table 12, thereby achieving the purpose of effectively adjusting the position of the template 7. In implementation, both the adjustment module and the clamping mechanism 24 can be implemented using existing technologies. For example, in this embodiment, the adjustment module includes a Y-direction linear module arranged along the length of the sewing platform and an X-direction linear module 2 arranged along the width of the sewing platform. The Y-direction linear module includes a Y-direction power source, a linear transmission mechanism 22, and a support frame 23. The Y-direction power source is fixed to the frame 11 and is connected to the linear transmission mechanism 22. The linear transmission mechanism 22 is connected to the support frame 23. The Y-direction power source drives the support frame 23 to move linearly along the length (Y direction) of the sewing platform via the linear transmission mechanism 22. In implementation, the Y-direction linear module can be a screw-type linear transmission module or a synchronous belt-type linear transmission module, etc. In implementation, the Y-direction linear module can be located below the table surface 12. Correspondingly, the table surface 12 is constructed with openings 121 distributed along the Y direction, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, this allows the support frame 23 to be connected to the X-direction linear module 2 via the opening 121. In a more complete embodiment, the Y-direction linear module also includes a track arranged along the Y direction and a slider adapted to the track. The track can be fixed to the sewing platform, and the slider is connected to the support frame 23, ensuring linear movement of the support frame 23 and improving its load-bearing capacity.

[0052] In implementation, the X-direction linear module 2 includes an X-direction power source 21 and a linear transmission mechanism 22. The linear transmission mechanism 22 is fixedly connected to the support frame 23. The X-direction power source 21 is driven by the linear transmission mechanism 22, and the linear transmission mechanism 22 is driven by the clamping mechanism 24. The X-direction power source 21 drives the clamping mechanism 24 to move linearly along the width direction (X direction) of the sewing platform through the linear transmission mechanism 22, thereby giving the clamping mechanism 24 the freedom to move along the length direction (Y direction) and width direction (X direction) of the sewing platform, thus allowing the template 7 to be adjusted to any desired position on the table 12. Similarly, in implementation, the X-direction linear module 2 can be a screw-type linear transmission module or a synchronous belt-type linear transmission module, etc. In implementation, the X-direction linear module 2 is usually set above the table 12, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the template 7 is clamped or released on the table 12 using the clamping mechanism 24. In implementation, the clamping mechanism 24 can be an existing clamping mechanism, which will not be described in detail here.

[0053] In this embodiment, the frame 11 is also provided with a lower sewing head 16 adapted to the upper sewing head 14. The lower sewing head 16 is located directly below the upper sewing head 14, so that the upper sewing head 14 can cooperate with the lower sewing head 16 to achieve the sewing purpose.

[0054] In a more complete embodiment, the template machine 1 also includes a control module. The upper sewing head 14, lower sewing head 16, adjustment module, clamping mechanism 24, and touch screen 15 are respectively connected to the control module, so that the control module can control the upper sewing head 14, lower sewing head 16, and adjustment module to work together to complete the required sewing work. The control module can be implemented using existing technology, and the feeding table 6 can also be an existing feeding table 6. Examples will not be provided here.

[0055] In this embodiment, the loading platform 6 is mainly used for temporarily placing the prepared templates 7 or for placing the templates 7 after use. In practice, the upper surface of the loading platform 6 is typically constructed as a plane, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this is to allow the template 7 to be laid flat, and also to facilitate subsequent gripping of the template 7. In implementation, the loading table 6 can be an existing loading table 6.

[0056] In this embodiment, the collaborative device is mainly used to automatically transfer the template 7 from the loading platform 6 to the template machine 1, and to transfer the template 7 back to the loading platform 6 after use. In implementation, the collaborative device includes a robotic arm 3 and a gripping mechanism 31 connected to the end of the robotic arm 3, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, during operation, the gripping mechanism 31 can grip and transfer the template 7. In this embodiment, the robotic arm 3 can be a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 3 or a robot commonly used in the prior art, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown.

[0057] In this embodiment, the collaborative device is installed outside (rear) of the rear end of the template machine 1, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this allows for the placement or removal of template 7 from the rear end of template machine 1. Simultaneously, the loading platform 6 is positioned next to the cooperating device and within its working range, enabling the robotic arm 3 to coordinate with the loading platform 6 for smooth and efficient grabbing of template 7 from or transfer of template 7 onto the loading platform 6. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the cooperating device is installed behind the rear end of the template machine 1, and the loading platform 6 is located on the other side of the template machine 1, such that the cooperating device is located between the template machine 1 and the loading platform 6. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this makes it easier for the collaborative device to work together more safely with multiple template machines 1.

[0058] In implementation, the gripping mechanism 31 can preferentially adopt an existing negative pressure adsorption mechanism. For example, the negative pressure adsorption mechanism includes a frame 311 connecting the robotic arm 3, and multiple vacuum suction cups 312 (or vacuum nozzles) are arranged in an array on the frame 311 to increase the contact area with the template 7, which is beneficial for more stable adsorption of the template 7 (the template 7 is usually a rectangular structure, such as...). Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the vacuum suction cup 312 is connected to the negative pressure equipment (such as a vacuum pump) on site through a pipe so that the negative pressure equipment can provide negative pressure to the vacuum suction cup 312.

[0059] In actual operation, workers can place or remove templates 7 from the outside of the loading platform 6 (i.e., the side away from the cooperating device), such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it is safer; the robotic arm 3 of the collaborative device moves the gripping mechanism 31 to directly above the template 7 on the loading platform 6, and makes the gripping mechanism 31 contact the upper surface of the template 7, and then activates negative pressure, so that the template 7 is adsorbed by the gripping mechanism 31; correspondingly, the control module in the template machine 1 controls the adjustment module to move the clamping mechanism 24 to the preset loading position; in implementation, this loading position is preferably configured to be close to the rear end of the template machine 1, such as Figure 5The location of the template 7 is safer; then, the robotic arm 3 drives the gripping mechanism 31 to move, transferring the adsorbed template 7 to the feeding position. The clamping mechanism 24 clamps the template 7 under the control of the control module, and then the negative pressure of the gripping mechanism 31 is turned off, and the robotic arm 3 resets. Afterwards, the template machine 1 performs the corresponding sewing action under the control of the control module. When the sewing is completed and the template 7 needs to be replaced, the control module controls the adjustment module to move the clamped template 7 to the preset feeding position; the robotic arm 3 drives the gripping mechanism 31 to move the template 7. The mechanical arm 3 is positioned directly above the template 7, and the gripping mechanism 31 contacts the upper surface of the template 7. Then, negative pressure is applied, causing the template 7 to adhere to the gripping mechanism 31. The robotic arm 3 then moves the gripping mechanism 31 to transfer the adhered template 7 to a preset position on the loading platform 6. Another template 7 is then adsorbed from the loading platform 6 for subsequent sewing work. Throughout the process, the operator can operate from the outside of the loading platform 6 or the front of the template machine 1. This is not only very convenient, but also keeps the operator further away from the working area of ​​the template machine 1, making it safer and less prone to accidents.

[0060] It is understandable that, during implementation, the installation distance between the template machine 1 and the cooperating device can be determined according to actual needs, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it is only necessary to ensure that the robotic arm 3 of the collaborative device can reach the loading position. It can be understood that, during implementation, the control module is also connected to the robotic arm 3 so that the robotic arm 3 can cooperate with the template machine 1. Example 2

[0061] The main difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the sewing system provided in this embodiment includes at least two template machines 1. During installation, the feeding platform 6 and each template machine 1 are arranged along the circumference of the cooperating device, and each template machine 1 is evenly arranged along the circumference of the cooperating device. The rear end of each template machine 1 corresponds to the cooperating device, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the collaborative device is always located behind the rear of each template machine 1. This design not only allows one collaborative device to provide template 7 or remove template 7 for at least two template machines 1, which is beneficial to improving efficiency and reducing costs, but also greatly improves safety and makes it convenient for equipment managers to check the operating status of template machines 1 at any time.

[0062] like Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the sewing system includes three template machines 1, a feeding table 6, and the three template machines 1 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the cooperating device, with the rear end of each template machine 1 corresponding to the cooperating device, as shown. Figure 6As shown, the loading platform 6 and the three template machines 1 together form a cross shape, surrounding the cooperating device on the inside; the front end of each template machine 1 is located away from the cooperating device, so that the staff can perform relevant operations outside the front end of each template machine 1, which is not only very convenient, but also safer. Example 3

[0063] The main difference between this embodiment 3 and embodiments 1 or 2 above is that, in the sewing system provided in this embodiment, the cooperating device further includes a mounting frame 4, which is located behind the rear end of the template machine 1, as shown below. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the robotic arm 3 is mounted on the top of the mounting frame 4. The mounting frame 4 is used to support the robotic arm 3 and can increase the installation height of the robotic arm 3. On the one hand, it can reduce the requirement for the length of the robotic arm 3, so that a shorter robotic arm 3 can be selected under the same installation spacing, which is conducive to reducing costs. On the other hand, it is conducive to preventing the robotic arm 3 from colliding or interfering with the rear end of the template machine 1, and also makes the control algorithm of the robotic arm 3 simpler.

[0064] In practice, the top of the mounting frame 4 is equipped with a mounting portion 45 for mounting the robotic arm 3, such as... Figures 7-9 As shown, the mounting part 45 can be a through hole, a threaded hole, or an existing snap-fit ​​structure or quick-release structure. In implementation, the top of the mounting bracket 4 has a mounting surface 44, such as... Figures 7-9 As shown, the mounting surface 44 can preferably be constructed as a plane so that it can contact and support the lower end of the robotic arm 3, thereby facilitating a more stable installation of the robotic arm 3. To facilitate leveling the mounting surface 44, a leveling structure is also provided at the bottom of the mounting frame 4 in practice. This leveling structure can be an adjusting foot cup 46 (referred to as a leveling foot). The number of leveling structures can be determined according to actual needs. For example, such as... Figures 7-9 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the mounting bracket 4 is provided with four adjusting feet 46, which form a rectangle to facilitate quick leveling of the mounting bracket 4.

[0065] In implementation, the specific shape and structure of the mounting bracket 4 can be determined according to actual needs. For example, the mounting bracket 4 can be constructed as a box-shaped structure, or, for example, ... Figure 7 As shown, the mounting bracket 4 includes a top plate 41, a bottom plate 42, and a column 43. The bottom plate 42 is connected to the lower end of the column 43, and the top plate 41 is connected to the top end of the column 43. Figure 7 As shown, the number of pillars 43 can be one, two, or more, such as Figure 7 As shown, the upper surface of the top plate 41 forms the mounting surface 44, and the mounting part 45 is constructed on the top plate 41. For example, as shown... Figure 7As shown, the mounting part 45 uses through holes penetrating both the upper and lower surfaces of the top plate 41, so that the lower end of the robotic arm 3 can be fixed to the top plate 41 using fasteners that fit the through holes, which is very convenient; a storage cavity is formed between the top plate 41 and the bottom plate 42 to accommodate the power module or controller required by the robotic arm 3, and of course, it can also be used to accommodate negative pressure equipment; the adjusting feet 46 are installed at the lower end of the bottom plate 42 or the lower end of the column 43, such as Figure 7 As shown.

[0066] In implementation, the height of the mounting frame 4 can be determined according to actual needs. Preferably, the mounting surface 44 of the mounting frame 4 is flush with the table surface 12 of the template machine 1, or the mounting surface 44 of the mounting frame 4 is higher than the table surface 12 of the template machine 1. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, this design facilitates the use of a smaller robotic arm 3, thereby reducing costs, and further prevents the robotic arm 3 from colliding or interfering with the rear end of the template machine 1.

[0067] It is understandable that, during implementation, the installation distance between the template machine 1 and the mounting frame 4 can be determined according to actual needs, as long as the robotic arm 3 of the cooperating device can reach the loading position. Example 4

[0068] The main difference between this embodiment 4 and the above embodiment 3 is that in the sewing system provided in this embodiment, the mounting frame 4 is constructed with a positioning group, which includes a positioning part 47. Correspondingly, the template machine 1 is connected with a connector 5, and the connector 5 is constructed with a first connecting part 51 adapted to the positioning part 47, such as... Figures 10-12 As shown.

[0069] In practice, the connector 5 can be welded, plugged in, or glued to the frame 11 in the template machine 1, for example, at the rear end of the frame 11; additionally, in practice, the connector 5 can also be detachably connected to the frame 11 in the template machine 1 using fasteners such as bolts or screws, for example... Figures 10-15 As shown.

[0070] During assembly, the assembler can position the cooperating device or template machine 1 by cooperating with the first connecting part 51 and the positioning part 47, so that the relative position between the cooperating device and the template machine 1 is very accurate, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency. At the same time, the assembler can also fix the connecting part 5 to the mounting frame 4 by using fasteners that fit the first connecting part 51 and the positioning part 47, so that the relative position between the cooperating device and the template machine 1 will not change. The relative positions between each template machine 1 and the cooperating device are consistent. This not only helps each template machine 1 to be installed in the predetermined position around the cooperating device, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of subsequent debugging of the robotic arm 3, but also allows the robotic arm 3 to move to each loading position more efficiently and accurately.

[0071] In implementation, the positioning group may include one or more positioning parts 47 for positioning and connecting a template machine 1. When the positioning group is configured with multiple positioning parts 47, in one embodiment, the connector 5 is constructed with multiple first connecting parts 51 adapted to each positioning part 47, so that the mounting frame 4 and the template machine 1 can be positioned and connected through a connector 5. In another embodiment, the template machine 1 is connected with multiple connectors 5, and each connector 5 is constructed with a first connecting part 51 adapted to each positioning part 47, so that the mounting frame 4 and the template machine 1 can be positioned and connected through multiple connectors 5, so as to further improve the positioning accuracy.

[0072] In practice, the positioning part 47 can be a through hole or threaded hole constructed in the mounting bracket 4, such as... Figure 10 As shown, correspondingly, the first connecting part 51 is a through hole or threaded hole suitable for the first positioning part 47, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the connector 5 and the mounting bracket 4 are detachably connected by fasteners such as bolts or screws that fit the positioning part 47 and the first connecting part 51.

[0073] Accordingly, during implementation, the loading platform 6 is also connected to a connector 5, which can be welded, plugged in, or glued to the loading platform 6; furthermore, during implementation, the connector 5 can also be detachably connected to the frame 11 in the template machine 1 using fasteners such as bolts or screws. Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the connector 5 also has a second connecting part, and the loading platform 6 has a matching second positioning part 61. The connector 5 can be fixedly connected to the loading platform 6 by fasteners that match the second connecting part and the second positioning part 61, thereby achieving the positioning and connection between the mounting bracket 4 and the loading platform 6. In implementation, the second connecting part can be a through hole or a threaded hole, and correspondingly, the second positioning part 61 can also be a through hole or a threaded hole, such as... Figures 12-15 As shown.

[0074] To improve the stability of the mounting bracket 4, when the positioning assembly is equipped with multiple positioning parts 47, some of the positioning parts 47 are located on the upper part of the mounting bracket 4, such as... Figures 12-15 As shown, another part of the positioning part 47 is disposed at the lower part of the mounting frame 4. Correspondingly, the template machine 1 is provided with connecting parts 5 adapted to each positioning part 47. That is, a part of the connecting parts 5 is connected to the upper part of the frame 11, and another part of the connecting parts 5 is connected to the lower part of the frame 11, such as... Figures 12-15 As shown, this design can not only position and constrain the relative position between the mounting frame 4 and the template machine 1, but also ensure that the spacing between each template machine 1 and the mounting frame 4 is equal, and improve the stability of the mounting frame 4.

[0075] To facilitate the connection of multiple template machines 1 and the feeding platform 6, the mounting frame 4 is constructed with multiple positioning groups during implementation. Each positioning group is evenly distributed along the circumference of the mounting frame 4. The number of positioning groups can be two, three, four, etc., for example... Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting bracket 4 has two positioning groups, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the mounting bracket 4 and are symmetrically arranged. Each positioning group includes four positioning parts 47, which are through holes. Two positioning parts 47 are respectively disposed on the upper part of the mounting bracket 4, and the other two positioning parts 47 are respectively disposed on the lower part of the mounting bracket 4. Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown; correspondingly, the frame 11 at the rear end of the template machine 1 is detachably connected with four connecting parts 5. Each connecting part 5 is provided with a first connecting part 51 adapted to each positioning part 47. The first connecting part 51 adopts a through hole. During assembly, the first connecting part 51 faces the positioning part 47, so that the connecting part 5 can be connected to the mounting frame 4 as a whole by bolts. Similarly, one side of the loading platform 6 is detachably connected with four connecting parts 5. Each connecting part 5 is provided with a first connecting part 51 adapted to each positioning part 47. During assembly, the first connecting part 51 faces the positioning part 47, so that the loading platform 6 can be connected to the mounting frame 4 as a whole by bolts.

[0076] For example, such as Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, in another embodiment, the mounting bracket 4 is constructed with four positioning groups, which are respectively disposed on the four sides of the mounting bracket 4, arranged symmetrically in pairs. Each positioning group includes four positioning parts 47, which are through holes. Two positioning parts 47 are respectively disposed on the upper part of the mounting bracket 4, and the other two positioning parts 47 are respectively disposed on the lower part of the mounting bracket 4, as shown. Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown; correspondingly, the frame 11 at the rear end of the template machine 1 is detachably connected with four connecting parts 5. Each connecting part 5 is provided with a first connecting part 51 adapted to each positioning part 47. The first connecting part 51 adopts a through hole. During assembly, the first connecting part 51 is directly opposite the positioning part 47, so that the connecting part 5 can be connected to the mounting frame 4 as a whole by bolts, so that three template machines 1 can be set in the circumferential direction of the mounting frame 4, such as Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown. Similarly, four connectors 5 are detachably connected to one side of the loading platform 6. Each connector 5 is provided with a first connecting part 51 that adapts to each positioning part 47. During assembly, the first connecting part 51 faces the positioning part 47, so that the loading platform 6 can be connected to the mounting frame 4 as a whole by bolts, so that the loading platform 6 can be stably set on one side of the mounting frame 4, as shown. Figure 12 or Figure 14As shown, this allows the robotic arm 3 mounted on the mounting frame 4 to work simultaneously with the loading platform 6 and the three template machines 1.

[0077] It is understandable that, during implementation, the shape of the connector 5 can be determined according to actual needs. For example, the connector 5 can adopt a plate-like structure or a rod-like structure.

[0078] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
