Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment production technology, and in particular to a combined adsorption mechanism, an applicator, and garment customization equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of personalized custom clothing manufacturing, specific characters are usually selected and pre-fixed manually, and then permanently fixed using heat embossing equipment. However, in the mass production of customized clothing, relying on manual selection and fixing of characters is not only labor-intensive, but also significantly inefficient.

[0003] While replacing manual labor with automated equipment promises to improve production efficiency, the specific implementation still faces technical challenges. For example, using a robotic arm to directly grasp character patches can easily cause wrinkles; while using suction cups presents compatibility issues, meaning that a single-size suction cup cannot be compatible with character patches of different specifications. Specifically, if the suction cup is too large, it will be difficult to effectively pick up smaller characters; conversely, if the suction cup is too small, the negative pressure will be too concentrated, causing the edges of the character patch to bend and deform due to gravity. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are only used to describe differences in name and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Physical quantities in formulas, unless otherwise specified, should be understood as basic quantities of the International System of Units (SI) base units, or derived quantities derived from basic quantities through mathematical operations such as multiplication, division, differentiation, or integration.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the combined adsorption mechanism provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes: a base 011, multiple suction cups and multiple driving components; the multiple driving components are respectively installed on the base 011, and the multiple driving components are connected to the multiple suction cups in a one-to-one correspondence, so as to drive the multiple suction cups to extend and retract respectively; the projections of the multiple suction cups on the projection surface perpendicular to the extension and retraction direction do not overlap.

[0039] When multiple actuators drive their respective suction cups to extend to the target plane, the suction cups can collectively contact and adhere to the character patch, ensuring that the character patch remains flat relative to the target plane. When the area of ​​the character patch is smaller than the projected area of ​​the multiple suction cups, only the corresponding actuator drives the suction cup to extend, while the suction cups extending beyond the projected area of ​​the character patch remain retracted. In this way, only a few suction cups adapted to the size and shape of the character patch perform the suction action.

[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, the plurality of suction cups includes: a first suction cup 001 and a second suction cup 002 sleeved on the outside of the first suction cup 001; the plurality of driving devices includes: a first driving device 004 and a second driving device 005, both of which are mounted on a base 011. The first driving device 004 is connected to the first suction cup 001, and the second driving device 005 is connected to the second suction cup 002. The opening of the first suction cup 001 can be configured as circular or polygonal, and the opening of the second suction cup 002 corresponds to the shape of the first suction cup 001 and is sleeved on the outside of the first suction cup 001, thereby achieving a compact combination layout of the first suction cup 001 and the second suction cup 002.

[0041] Furthermore, the plurality of suction cups includes: a third suction cup 003 sleeved on the outside of the second suction cup 002; and a plurality of driving devices including a third driving device 006, the third driving device 006 being mounted on the base 011 and connected to the third suction cup 003.

[0042] The inner ring shape of the third suction cup 003 corresponds to that of the second suction cup 002. When the first suction cup 001, the second suction cup 002 and the third suction cup 003 are used together, they can stably adsorb larger character patches. The first suction cup 001 and the second suction cup 002 support and adsorb the character patches located in the inner ring of the third suction cup 003, ensuring the flatness of the character patches.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the first suction cup 001, the second suction cup 002, and the third suction cup 003 form a three-layer suction cup from the inside out. Multiple layers of suction cups can also be added sequentially on the outside of the third suction cup 003, thereby expanding the applicability of the combined adsorption mechanism to the size of character patches.

[0044] See Figure 1Multiple suction cups are connected to slide rods 007, and the slide rods 007 are slidably engaged with the base 011. By sliding the slide rods 007 with the holes on the base 011, it is ensured that the suction cups can only move back and forth along the extension direction of the slide rods 007, thus avoiding the suction cups from tilting.

[0045] Furthermore, the base 011 is connected to the robotic arm 008, which can be an industrial multi-axis robotic arm to drive the base 011 to move and move the suction cup to a specific position so as to realize the picking up and releasing of the character patch.

[0046] It should be noted that the first suction cup 001, the second suction cup 002, and the third suction cup 003 are respectively connected to an air source. The air source can generate a suction effect, thereby creating a negative pressure state in the first suction cup 001, the second suction cup 002, and the third suction cup 003, respectively, to adsorb the corresponding character patches. In addition, the air source can supply air in reverse, so that the internal air pressure of the first suction cup 001, the second suction cup 002, and the third suction cup 003 is equal to or even exceeds the external atmospheric pressure, thus enabling the release of the character patches.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the adhesive patch processing device provided in this embodiment includes: a pickup device 009, a flipping drive 010, and a combined adsorption mechanism described in the above embodiment; the pickup device 009 is located at the next station of the combined adsorption mechanism, and the pickup device 009 is connected to the flipping drive 010 in a transmission manner; when the suction cup adsorbs the character patch, the flipping drive 010 drives the pickup device 009 to flip from the first station to the second station.

[0048] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 At the first station, with the pickup device 009 facing upwards, it can pick up the back film attached to the lower surface of the character patch that is being attracted by the suction cup.

[0049] See Figure 4 At the second station, the pick-up device 009 drives the back film to detach from the character patch and moves the back film to the polishing station.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the picking device 009 may be a gripper or similar device. When the back film extends beyond the edge of the character patch, the gripper can clamp the edge of the back film, and the flipping drive 010 can drive the gripper to move, thereby peeling the back film off from the underside of the character patch.

[0051] In this embodiment of the utility model, the pickup device 009 includes a lower suction cup and a bidirectional pumping device connected to the lower suction cup; the lower suction cup docks with and adsorbs the back film, and when the flipping drive 010 drives the lower suction cup to flip, the back film is peeled off from the lower surface of the character patch.

[0052] At the first station, a bidirectional air pump is used to draw gas from the lower suction cup so that the lower suction cup can adsorb the back film; at the second station, the bidirectional air pump is used to deliver gas to the lower suction cup so that the back film is blown off at the film-blowing station. In this way, both peeling off and blowing off the back film can be achieved smoothly, making it easier to achieve continuous control and improving work efficiency.

[0053] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The adhesive application device also includes a distance sensor 013, which is used to detect the distance between the suction cup and the character patch. The distance sensor 013, the flip drive 010, and multiple drive devices are connected to the controller 012. The distance sensor 013 can be an infrared rangefinder, an ultrasonic rangefinder, etc., to detect the distance between the suction cup and the character patch. When the character patch is attracted by the suction cup and the back film is picked up by the pickup device 009, the flip drive 010 is controlled to cause the pickup device 009 to flip, thereby peeling the back film off the surface of the character patch.

[0054] In addition, the attaching processing device also includes a vision sensor 014 connected to the controller. The vision sensor 014 is used to acquire images of the character sticker and the suction cup so as to determine their status information based on the images of the character sticker and the suction cup, thereby achieving more appropriate control.

The garment customization equipment possesses the technical effects of the combined adsorption mechanism and the application and finishing device described above, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
