Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment processing technology, and in particular to a novel button-attaching device. Background Technology

[0002] Some garments with plackets have rows of buttonholes and buttons on the front and back plackets respectively; however, in the current technology, the buttonholes on the front placket are first processed by a buttonhole sewing machine, and then the buttons are attached to the back placket by a button attaching machine.

[0003] Because the distribution of the rows of buttonholes is not uniform, when punching buttonholes on the inner placket, it is necessary to manually align the front and inner plackets with a staggered front and back, and then manually move the garment to button each buttonhole on the inner placket. The above buttoning method requires manual operation of the garment to control the buttoning equipment by holding it and aligning it one by one. Moreover, the loading and unloading of the garment are all done manually, which is cumbersome, not only resulting in low processing efficiency, but also making it impossible to guarantee the buttoning accuracy.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a new type of button-attaching device needs to be developed. The front and back panels only need to be aligned and placed into the clamping mechanism by hand, and the buttonhole positions can be automatically identified to achieve precise button-attaching one by one. After completion, the garment will automatically leave the button-attaching station. The manual operation is simple, improving the efficiency and accuracy of button-attaching and ensuring the quality of garment processing. Utility Model Content

[0014] The lower clamping plate and the left and right moving drive are respectively provided with clamping drives at both ends;

[0015] The clamping driver is fixedly connected to the lower clamping plate, and the driving shaft passes through the lower clamping plate upward and is then fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper clamping plate.

[0016] The visual recognition device is located on one side of the machine head of the automatic buttoning device and is used to identify the buttonholes on the front of the garment in real time.

[0017] The unloading mechanism is located on the side of the automatic buttoning device away from the vision recognition device;

[0037] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0038] like Figure 1-4As shown, a novel button-attaching device includes an automatic button-attaching device 1, an automatic button feeding device 2, a clamping mechanism 3, a vision recognition device 4, an unloading mechanism 5, and a control module (not shown in the figure). The automatic button-attaching device 1 has a button-attaching station 10 below the machine head, and the automatic button feeding device 2 is provided on one side of the machine head.

[0039] A base 6 is provided on the button-attaching station 10;

[0040] The clamping mechanism 3 is located outside the base 6. The clamping mechanism 3 includes an upper clamping plate 31, a lower clamping plate 32, and a left and right movement driver 33.

[0041] The upper clamping plate 31 and the lower clamping plate 32 have the same structure and are horizontally arranged behind the base 6;

[0042] The left and right movement driver 33 is located below the lower clamping plate 32, and the driving end is fixedly connected to the lower clamping plate 32;

[0043] The upper clamping plate 31 has upper clamping arms 311 arranged opposite to each other at both ends, and the upper clamping arms 311 are set at an angle to the upper clamping plate 31.

[0044] The lower clamping plate 32 is provided with a lower clamping arm 321 that corresponds one-to-one with the upper clamping arm 311;

[0045] The lower clamping plate 32 and the left and right moving drive 33 are respectively provided with clamping drive 7 at both ends;

[0046] The clamping driver 7 is fixedly connected to the lower clamping plate 32, and the driving axis passes through the lower clamping plate 32 upward and is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper clamping plate 31.

[0047] The visual recognition device 4 is located on one side of the machine head of the automatic buttoning device 1 and is used to identify the buttonholes 201 of the front placket 20 in real time.

[0048] The unloading mechanism 5 is located on the side of the automatic buttoning device 1 away from the vision recognition device 4;

[0049] The control module is electrically connected to the automatic button-attaching device 1, the automatic button feeding device 2, the clamping mechanism 3, the vision recognition device 4, and the unloading mechanism 5.

[0050] Working principle:

[0051] Step 1: Power on the device and manually align the front placket 20 and inner placket 30 of the garment, making them staggered front to back and aligned left to right. Then, hold the two ends of the aligned front placket 20 and inner placket 30 with both hands (and flatten the front placket 20 and inner placket 30 as a whole) and place them between the upper clamping arm 311 and the lower clamping arm 321. (The inner placket 30 is closer to the lower clamping plate 32 and the upper clamping plate 31. The front and back positions of the front placket 20 and inner placket 30 relative to the base 6 are determined by the contact between the front end of the inner placket 30 and the clamping plate.)

[0052] Step 2: Then, control the clamping driver 7 to operate via the foot control switch, driving the upper clamping plate 31 and upper clamping arm 311 to clamp the front placket 20 and inner placket 30 of the garment; at the same time, the automatic button feeding device 2 will transport a button to the machine head of the automatic buttoning device 1.

[0053] Step 3: After clamping, under the action of the control module, the left and right movement driver 33 moves, driving the clamping plate and garment to move from left to right. During the process, when the vision recognition device 4 recognizes the buttonhole 201 of the front placket 20, it sends an electrical signal to the control module. Then, the control module controls the machine head of the automatic buttoning device 1 to move the button according to the set time requirement (i.e., the buttonhole 201 position corresponding to the buttoning position). At this time, the left and right movement driver 33 stops. After the first button is finished, the machine head resets, and then the automatic button feeding device 2 automatically feeds the button to the machine head of the automatic buttoning device 1. The left and right movement driver 33 starts and continues to drive the garment to move to the right until all buttons are finished.

[0054] Step 4: After buttoning, the left and right moving device reverses its drive. When the middle of the garment moves to below the unloading mechanism 5, the control module controls the clamping driver 7 to reverse its action, controls the left and right moving driver 33 to stop its action, and controls the unloading mechanism 5 to move, pushing the garment from top to bottom, so that the garment is removed from the clamp and falls into the collection area below.

[0055] Then, the left and right moving drive 33 resets its action. The operator then manually places the garment with the front placket 20 and inner placket 30 aligned into the clamping mechanism 3, and repeats the above actions in a cyclical manner. This achieves automatic buttoning and automatic unloading of the garment, making manual operation simple, improving the efficiency and accuracy of buttoning, and ensuring the quality of garment processing.

[0056] In this embodiment, the structure and working principle of the automatic button-attaching device 1, the automatic button feeding device 2, and the vision detector are conventional technologies in the relevant field and will not be described in detail here.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a stop block 311a is provided on the outer side of the upper clamping arm 311.

[0058] In this embodiment, when placing the garment, the front placket 20 and the inner placket 30 are positioned relative to the base 6 by touching the stop block 311a with the hand, so as to accurately place the garment at the button position.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, in order to facilitate the quick insertion of the front placket 20 and the inner placket 30 of the garment and improve efficiency, a trumpet-shaped clamping opening 40 is formed between the free ends of the upper clamping arm 311 and the lower clamping arm 321.

[0060] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, in order to improve the clamping reliability of the front placket 20 and the inner placket 30 of the garment, an anti-slip rubber pad (not shown in the figure) is provided between the upper clamping arm 311 and the lower clamping arm 321.

[0061] Furthermore, the unloading mechanism 5 includes a telescopic driver 51 and a pusher 52;

[0062] The telescopic actuator 51 is fixedly connected to one side of the machine head of the automatic button-attaching device 1, and the drive end is connected to the push head 52 below.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the buttons are fastened and the left and right movement driver 33 is resetting, and the middle of the garment is below the pusher head 52 (the control module calculates the speed of the left and right movement driver 33, and at this time the clamping driver 7 reverses the drive to make the upper clamping plate 31 move away from the lower clamping plate 32), the telescopic driver 51 is controlled to move, driving the pusher head 52 to push the garment downwards, so that the garment falls into the material collection area below, thereby realizing automatic unloading of the garment, allowing the worker to focus on aligning the front placket 20 and the inner placket 30 of the next garment.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, in order to more effectively push the garment into the material collection area below, a portion of the garment is placed on the clamping plate; the pusher 52 is a hollow frustum structure, the small end of the pusher 52 is connected to the drive end of the telescopic actuator 51, and the large end surface is provided with several through holes 521.

[0065] The pusher head 52 is connected to an external exhaust fan (not shown in the figure) via a pipe.

[0066] In this embodiment, when the unloading mechanism 5 is activated, the exhaust fan is started, creating a negative pressure on the large end surface of the pusher head 52. When the pusher head 52 approaches the garment, it can effectively suck up the garment and then push the garment as a whole downward. During this process, the front placket 20 and the inner placket 30 can be completely separated from the clamp. After reaching the set height, the exhaust fan stops, and then the garment automatically falls into the lower collection area.

[0067] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4As shown, in order to improve the positioning accuracy of the clamping plate and the smoothness of its movement, the left and right movement driver 33 is a double-slide linear module.

[0068] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model patent.
