Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical technology, and in particular to an automatic pocket machine. Background Technology

[0002] In garment manufacturing, pocket opening machines are essential auxiliary processing machinery, mainly used to create pockets in specific locations on garments, allowing users to place small items such as mobile phones, wallets, and keys. The processing of the pocket opening involves cutting, folding, shaping, and sewing the pocket opening area. Cutting involves cutting the pocket opening into the predetermined shape, folding involves folding the cut pocket opening inward to form a folded edge, shaping involves placing the pocket lip on the folded edge, and finally, sewing.

[0003] The most common bag-opening machines on the market use lasers to cut slits in the fabric. They include a laser emitting tube, a laser cutting tube, and multiple refractive plates. The laser is emitted from the laser emitting tube and refracted multiple times by the multiple refractive plates at preset angles before finally reaching the laser cutting tube for cutting. Each time the laser is refracted, some energy is lost, and the energy loss rate is relatively high due to multiple refractions. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic pocket machine. To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution.

[0005] An automatic pocket making machine includes a worktable, a sewing machine mounted on the worktable, a laser cutting assembly, a moving mechanism, at least two reusable material trays, a fixing mechanism, a folding knife mechanism, and a reusable feeding mechanism.

[0006] The moving mechanism is mounted on the worktable and can move back, forth, left, and right via a cylinder.

[0007] The material plate is used to place zippers or fabrics. One material plate is placed on the workbench and located on one side of the fixing mechanism, and the other material plate is installed on the circulating feeding mechanism.

[0008] The fixing mechanism is used to fix the fabric and zipper, and is vertically connected to the moving mechanism. The moving mechanism moves the material board to the sewing machine for work.

[0009] The folding knife mechanism is mounted on the moving mechanism and can move back and forth and up and down via a cylinder. It is used to fold the cut fabric to form a pocket.

[0010] The circulating feeding mechanism is used to feed material plates onto the worktable or remove material plates that have been completed by extending and retracting a cylinder.

[0011] The laser cutting assembly includes a laser cutting tool, a laser emitting assembly, and a laser refraction assembly. The laser emitting assembly emits laser light to the laser refraction assembly, which then delivers the laser light to the laser cutting tool for cutting the fabric.

[0012] Furthermore, the laser emitting assembly includes a laser emitting tube and a plurality of support frames for supporting the laser emitting tube. The support frames are provided with mounting holes adapted to the laser emitting tube, through which the laser emitting tube passes.

[0013] Furthermore, the laser refraction assembly includes a refraction plate and a base. The refraction plate is installed on the upper end of the base. The refraction plate and the emission port of the laser emitting tube are in the same direction. The laser emitted from the laser emitting tube is directed to the refraction plate, and then the laser is refracted to the laser cutting tool by the refraction plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the laser cutting tool includes a laser cutting tube for cutting fabric, a bracket for fixing the laser cutting tube, a guide rail seat mounted on the sewing machine, and a slider sliding on the guide rail seat. The laser cutting tube passes through the bracket and is fixed by screws. The bracket is mounted on one side of the slider, and the slider moves up and down by the extension and retraction of the cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, a laser receiving plate is installed on the laser cutting tube. The laser receiving plate and the refractive plate are at the same height. The laser refracted by the laser refractive plate is transmitted through the laser receiving plate into the laser cutting tube for cutting the fabric.

[0016] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism is provided with a liftable surface stitching assembly, which is detachably installed on the fixing mechanism. The fabric is clamped between the surface stitching assembly and the fixing mechanism. The zipper is fed in through the material plate and fixed to the lower end of the fixing mechanism. The surface stitching assembly is provided with a seam groove. The sewing machine sews the zipper and the folded fabric along the contour of the seam groove and through the fixing mechanism to form a pocket.

[0017] Furthermore, the exposed stitching assembly includes an inner exposed stitching plate and an outer exposed stitching plate that wraps around the outer edge of the inner exposed stitching plate. The inner exposed stitching plate and the outer exposed stitching plate are connected by a connecting block. The gap between the inner exposed stitching plate and the outer exposed stitching plate forms a stitching groove. The bottom of the inner exposed stitching plate is provided with a toothed rack.

[0018] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes a longitudinal connecting plate and a transverse connecting plate, which are connected by a cylinder. The cylinder's extension and retraction enable forward and backward, up and down movement.

[0019] Furthermore, the folding knife mechanism includes a foldable front folding knife, a rear folding knife, a left folding knife, and a right folding knife. The rotation and folding of the front folding knife, the rear folding knife, the left folding knife, and the right folding knife are achieved by extending and retracting the cylinder. The left folding knife and the right folding knife are used to fold the triangular cuts at both ends of the fabric.

[0020] Furthermore, a positioning mechanism is set on the worktable, and the positioning mechanism is located directly above the material plate; the positioning mechanism includes a horizontal cylinder, a vertical cylinder and a baffle plate at the installation end, and the horizontal cylinder extends and retracts to achieve left and right movement, and the vertical cylinder extends and retracts to achieve lifting.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects that this utility model can achieve are:

[0022] The laser cutting assembly of this utility model includes a laser cutting tool, a laser emitting assembly, and a laser refraction assembly. The laser cutting tool is mounted on a sewing machine. The laser emitting assembly emits laser light to the laser refraction assembly, which then transmits the laser light to the laser cutting tool for cutting the fabric. The laser emitting assembly includes a laser emitting tube and several support frames that support the laser emitting tube. Traditionally, laser emitting tubes are usually directly mounted on the worktable. The laser light is refracted multiple times and then transmitted to the laser cutting tool located above. The more times the light is refracted, the greater the energy loss. This design raises the position of the laser emitting tube by using support frames, so the laser light only needs to be transmitted to the laser cutting tool once, reducing unnecessary laser refraction, effectively reducing energy loss, and lowering power consumption.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an automatic pocket cutting machine includes a worktable 1, a sewing machine 2 mounted on the worktable 1, and a laser cutting assembly 3 for cutting pockets. It also includes a moving mechanism 4, at least two reusable material plates 8, a fixing mechanism 5, a folding knife mechanism 7, and a reusable feeding mechanism 6.

[0032] The moving mechanism 4 is mounted on the worktable 1 and can move back and forth and left and right by extending and retracting two cylinders in different directions.

[0033] The material plate 8 is used to manually insert the zipper onto the material plate 8. One material plate 8 is placed on the workbench 1 and located on one side of the fixing mechanism 5, and the other material plate 8 is installed on the circulating feeding mechanism 6.

[0034] The fixing mechanism 5 is used to fix the fabric and zipper, and is vertically connected to the moving mechanism 4. The moving mechanism 4 drives the fixing mechanism to move back and forth and left and right, and the cylinder installed on it extends and retracts to move up and down. During operation, the fixing mechanism 5 first moves to one side to remove the material plate 8 containing the fabric and resets it. Then, the laser cutting component 3 forms a pocket cut on the fabric. Finally, it moves to the other side to the bottom of the sewing machine 2 to sew the pocket.

[0035] The folding knife mechanism 7 is installed above the moving mechanism 4 and moves synchronously with the moving mechanism 4. The folding knife mechanism 7 is installed on the moving mechanism 4 and can move back and forth through a cylinder and a guide rail. It is used to fold the pocket cut open on the fabric.

[0036] The circulating feeding mechanism 6 is located behind the fixed mechanism 5. It moves forward, backward, left, and right by extending and retracting two cylinders in different directions. After the fixed mechanism 5 takes away the material plate 8 that has been unloaded, the circulating feeding mechanism 6 moves forward and sends out another material plate 8 to be placed on the workbench 1. After the fixed mechanism 5 completes the sewing, it resets and rises. The circulating feeding mechanism 6 moves to the rear of the fixed mechanism 5 and takes away the material plate 8, and so on in a cycle.

[0037] The laser cutting assembly 3 includes a laser cutting tool 9, a laser emitting assembly 10, and a laser refraction assembly 11. The laser cutting tool 9 is mounted on the sewing machine 3. The laser emitting assembly 10 emits laser light to the laser refraction assembly 11, and the laser light is delivered to the laser cutting tool 9 through the laser refraction assembly 11 for cutting the fabric.

[0038] The laser emitting assembly 10 includes a laser emitting tube 12 and several support frames 13 supporting the laser emitting tube 12. Traditionally, the laser emitting tube is usually directly mounted on the worktable 1, and the laser is transmitted to the laser cutting tool 9 located above it through multiple refractions. This design raises the position of the laser emitting tube 12 by using the support frames 13, so that the laser only needs to be transmitted to the laser cutting tool 9 once, which effectively reduces energy loss and power consumption.

[0039] The support frame 13 is provided with mounting holes 14 adapted to the laser emitting tube 12. The laser emitting tube 12 passes through the mounting holes 14 to limit the laser emitting tube 12 and prevent the laser emitting tube 12 from deviating and affecting the trajectory of laser emission.

[0040] The laser refraction assembly 11 includes a refraction plate 15 and a base 16. The refraction plate 15 is installed on the upper end of the base 16. The refraction plate 15 and the emission port of the laser emitting tube 12 are in the same direction and at the same height. The laser emitted from the laser emitting tube 12 is directed to the refraction plate 15 through a preset angle, and then the laser is refracted to the laser cutting tool 9 for cutting the fabric through the refraction plate 15.

[0041] The laser cutting tool 9 includes a laser cutting tube 17 for cutting fabric, a bracket 18 for fixing the laser cutting tube 17, a guide rail seat 19 mounted on the sewing machine 3, and a slider 20 sliding on the guide rail seat 19. The laser cutting tube 17 passes longitudinally through the bracket 18 and is fixed by screws. The bracket 18 is mounted on one side of the slider 20, and the slider 20 moves the bracket 18 up and down by the extension and retraction of a cylinder, which is used to adjust the height of the laser cutting tube 17.

[0042] A laser receiving plate 21 is installed on the laser cutting tube 17. The laser receiving plate 21 and the refractive plate 15 are at the same height. The laser refracted by the refractive plate 15 is transmitted through the laser receiving plate 21 into the laser cutting tube 17 for cutting the fabric.

[0043] The fixing mechanism 5 is equipped with a liftable exposed stitching assembly 22. The exposed stitching assembly 22 is detachably installed on the fixing mechanism 5, and can be removed to replace the concealed stitching assembly. The exposed stitching assembly 22 is used to sew garments with exposed seams, while the concealed stitching assembly is used to sew garments with concealed seams. The zipper is held between the material plate 8 and the fixing mechanism 5, and the fabric is held between the exposed stitching assembly 22 and the fixing mechanism 5. The exposed stitching assembly 22 has an upper seam groove 23. The sewing machine 3 sews the zipper and the folded fabric along the contour of the upper seam groove 23 and through the fixing mechanism 5 to form a pocket.

[0044] The exposed stitching assembly 22 includes an inner exposed stitching pressure plate 24 and an outer exposed stitching pressure plate 25 that wraps around the outer edge of the inner exposed stitching pressure plate 24. A connecting block connects the inner exposed stitching pressure plate 24 and the outer exposed stitching pressure plate 25, and screws are used to fix the connecting block to the inner and outer exposed stitching pressure plates 25. The gap between the inner exposed stitching pressure plate 24 and the outer exposed stitching pressure plate 25 forms a seam groove 23. A toothed rack 26 is provided at the bottom of the inner exposed stitching pressure plate 24. The toothed rack 26 passes through the seam groove 23 to more tightly press the fabric, preventing fabric shifting during operation, which could lead to product rework or even scrap, and increasing the product qualification rate.

[0045] The fixing mechanism 5 includes a longitudinal connecting plate 27 and a transverse connecting plate 28. The longitudinal connecting plate 27 and the transverse connecting plate 28 are connected by multiple cylinders. The forward and backward movement is achieved by the extension and retraction of the transverse cylinders, and the up and down movement is achieved by the extension and retraction of the longitudinal cylinders.

[0046] The folding mechanism 7 includes a foldable front folding blade, a rear folding blade, a left folding blade, and a right folding blade. The front folding blade, rear folding blade, left folding blade, and right folding blade are rotated and folded by the extension and retraction of the cylinder. The left folding blade and right folding blade fold the triangular cuts at both ends of the fabric to fold the single layer of fabric into a double layer. The front folding blade and rear folding blade fold to form a bag lip.

[0047] A positioning mechanism 29 is installed on the workbench 1, located directly above the material plate 8. The positioning mechanism 29 includes a horizontal cylinder, a vertical cylinder, and a baffle plate 30 at the end. The horizontal cylinder extends and retracts to achieve left and right movement, while the vertical cylinder extends and retracts to achieve lifting and lowering. When material is placed on the material plate 8, the positioning mechanism 29 descends and the baffle plate 30 is placed on the material plate 8, facilitating fabric positioning and ensuring the accuracy of the placement position.

[0048] The steps of the automatic bag-opening machine in this solution are as follows:

[0049] The first step is to place the fabric. The exposed stitching assembly 22 is raised by the extension and retraction of the cylinder, placing the fabric above the fixing mechanism 5. The exposed stitching assembly 5 then descends to press down the zipper.

[0050] The second step is to open the bag. The moving mechanism 4 drives the fixing mechanism 5 to move below the laser cutting component 3, and the laser cutting component 3 cuts the fabric to form a pocket opening.

[0051] The third step is to fold the bag. The folding knife mechanism 7 descends, and the front folding knife, rear folding knife, left folding knife, and right folding knife pass through the topstitching assembly 22 and enter the cut pocket, folding the fabric cut to form the bag lip.

[0052] The fourth step is to place the zipper. The positioning mechanism 29 descends so that the baffle plate 30 abuts against the material plate 8. The zipper is placed flat and precisely on the material plate 8 along the contour of the baffle plate 25. Then the positioning mechanism 29 rises and retracts.

[0053] Fifth step, take material plate 8. The circulating feeding mechanism 6 takes away the material plate 8 installed below the fixing mechanism 5. The fixing mechanism 5 rises and moves to the material plate 8, then falls to take away the material plate 8 with the zipper. After the fixing mechanism 5 completes the material taking, it resets. The circulating feeding mechanism 6 sends out another material plate 8 and places it on the workbench 1.

[0054] Step 6: Sew the zipper and fabric together. The fixing mechanism 5 moves below the sewing machine 3 to sew the fabric and zipper together. After sewing is completed, it rises up, the fabric is manually removed, and the circulating feeding mechanism 6 moves behind the fixing mechanism 5 to remove the material plate 8.

[0055] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
