Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment processing technology, specifically, to an automated garment marking device. Background Technology

[0002] A garment marking machine is a device used to automatically add labels, size tags, brand patterns, and other information to garments. It is widely used in garment production, brand management, and e-commerce logistics. Using inkjet printing or thermal transfer technology, it accurately prints pre-set text, patterns, or barcodes onto the surface of garments. Equipped with a transmission system, marking head, control system, and positioning technology, the machine can automatically adjust and position itself, ensuring that each garment is marked in the designated location, reducing human error and improving production efficiency.

[0003] In existing technologies, to prevent wrinkles in the garment from causing incomplete marking during the marking process, some marking machines incorporate auxiliary structures to smooth the garment before marking, ensuring it remains flat throughout the process. However, these devices share a common drawback: smoothing the garment may apply excessive tensile force, causing the fabric to stretch and deform. Once marking is complete, the garment is no longer constrained by the auxiliary structures, and the fabric springs back, deforming the original marking pattern and severely impacting the marking quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated marking device for clothing, which solves the problem that existing marking devices may cause excessive stretching and smoothing, resulting in fabric rebound and pattern deformation after marking.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an automated marking device for clothing, including a machine base and a marking device, wherein the marking device is installed on the machine base to mark clothing, and also includes a smoothing component for smoothing the clothing.

A tension spring is provided between the brake rod and the roller seat. The brake pad abuts against the roller.

[0008] To better realize this utility model, the brake lever is further inclined at an angle of 45°.

[0009] To better realize this utility model, the drive unit further includes a fourth link and a fifth link. The fifth link is mounted on the machine base, and a second link and a third link are rotatably connected to the fifth link. The second link and the third link are rotatably connected to the fourth link, and a first link is rotatably connected to the fourth link. The first link is drively connected to the power unit.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] This embodiment provides an automated marking device for clothing, specifically as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, the device includes a machine base and a marking device 106. The marking device 106 is a purchased piece of equipment and is a completely publicly available technology. This document does not protect its specific structure and therefore will not describe it in detail. The marking device 106 is installed on the machine base to mark the garment and also includes a smoothing component for smoothing the garment.

[0026] The smoothing assembly includes a power unit and a smoothing unit. The power unit provides power to the smoothing unit. The smoothing unit includes multiple drive units arranged in a circumferential array and a roller assembly mounted on the drive units. The roller assembly includes an anti-slip cylinder 104, a roller seat 111, a roller 113, and a resistance element. The anti-slip cylinder 104 is sleeved on the roller 113. The roller 113 is rotatably connected to the roller seat 111. The resistance element provides resistance to the rotation of the roller 113.

[0027] This device is installed on a garment conveyor platform so that the working area of ​​the marking device 106 is aligned with the platform. When the garment on the platform is transported directly below the marking device 106, the platform temporarily stops operating. At this time, the power unit drives the smoothing unit, causing the drive unit to move the roller assembly closer to and into contact with the garment. Subsequently, the roller assemblies move away from each other, meaning that the rollers 113 and the anti-slip rollers 104 press against the garment surface and move away from each other. Due to the resistance, the rollers 113 do not rotate temporarily; instead, the anti-slip rollers 104 smooth out the wrinkles on the garment. The garment is stretched and smoothed by multiple rollers that are spread outwards to achieve a uniform smoothing effect. After the garment is completely smoothed, the anti-slip cylinder 104 is still pressing on the garment, but the rollers are still moving away from each other. At this time, because the driving force transmitted from the anti-slip cylinder 104 to the roller 113 is greater than the resistance of the resistance component, the roller 113 begins to roll on the garment, continuing to smooth the garment but without further stretching it. Then, the marking device 106 begins to mark the smoothed area. After the marking is completed, the garment conveyor platform starts again to begin the next round of marking operations.

[0028] By setting up the roller assembly, the roller 113 is matched with the resistance component, achieving the stretching and smoothing effect of the garment; however, it effectively avoids excessive stretching of the garment, preventing the marking device 106 from causing the garment fabric to spring back after marking due to the loss of stretching force, which in turn causes the marking pattern to deform.

[0029] Example 2:

[0030] This embodiment further expands the resistance element based on the above embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the resistance component includes a brake rod 115, a tension spring 116, and a brake pad 117. The brake rod 115 and the brake pad 117 are slidably connected to the roller seat 111. The brake rod 115 and the brake pad 117 are detachably connected, preferably by a threaded connection in this embodiment. A tension spring 116 is provided between the brake rod 115 and the roller seat 111, and the brake pad 117 abuts against the roller 113.

[0031] Because the tension of the tension spring 116 causes the brake lever 115 to push the brake pad 117 onto the shaft of the roller 113, the brake pad 117 has a braking effect on the roller 113. When the anti-slip cylinder 104 is pressed on the garment and the roller seat 111 moves, the anti-slip cylinder 104 will exert a rotational force on the roller 113. At this time, since the garment is not smooth, it will move on the conveyor platform, causing the force to be less than the braking force, so the roller 113 will not rotate. When the garment is completely smoothed, the roller seat 111 continues to move, and the garment has a tensile force. Since the friction between the anti-slip cylinder 104 and the garment is large, the rotational force exerted by the anti-slip cylinder 104 on the roller 113 will be greater than the braking force of the first link 107. At this time, the roller 113 will rotate to prevent the garment from being overstretched.

[0032] Preferably, the brake lever 115 is inclined at an angle of 45°. This causes the brake lever 115 to point upward, preventing the end of the brake lever 115 from contacting the garment and preventing the brake lever 115 from dragging the garment and preventing the smoothing operation from being completed.

[0033] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.

[0034] Example 3:

[0035] This embodiment further expands the driving unit based on the above embodiment, specifically as follows: Figures 3-5 As shown, the drive unit includes a fourth link 110 and a fifth link 112. The fifth link 112 is mounted on the machine base. A second link 108 and a third link 109 are rotatably connected to the fifth link 112. The second link 108 and the third link 109 are rotatably connected to the fourth link 110. A first link 107 is rotatably connected to the fourth link 110. The first link 107 is connected to the power unit. The roller seat 111 is slidably connected to the fourth link 110. A spring 114 is provided between the fourth link 110 and the roller seat 111.

[0036] When the power unit presses down on the first link 107, the first link 107 applies force to the fourth link 110. Due to the action of the second link 108 and the third link 109, the movement trajectory of the fourth link 110 is arc-shaped, meaning that the fourth link 110 drives the roller assembly to press down, while the multiple roller assemblies move away from each other. After the anti-slip cylinder 104 presses onto the garment, as the fourth link 110 continues to move, the spring 114 is compressed, ensuring that the anti-slip cylinder 104 remains pressed against the garment.

[0037] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.

[0038] Example 4:

[0039] This embodiment further expands the power unit based on the above embodiments, specifically as follows: Figures 2-4 As shown, the power unit includes a hydraulic cylinder 103 and a hinge plate 105. The hydraulic cylinder 103 is mounted on the machine base, the hinge plate 105 is mounted on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 103, the marking device 106 is mounted on the hinge plate 105, and the first connecting rod 107 is rotatably connected to the hinge plate 105.

[0040] When the hydraulic cylinder 103 extends, it drives the hinge plate 105 to press down and drive the first link 107. The hinge plate 105 is connected to multiple first links 107, so that a single hydraulic cylinder 103 can control multiple drive units simultaneously. This not only synchronizes the action sequence but also saves drive costs.

[0041] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.

[0042] Example 5:

[0043] This embodiment further expands the machine tool based on the above embodiment, specifically as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown, the machine platform includes a frame 101 and a mounting base 102. The mounting base 102 is detachably mounted on the frame 101. The hydraulic cylinder 103 is mounted on the mounting base 102. The hinge plate 105 is slidably connected to the mounting base 102. The fifth connecting rod 112 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 102. The frame 101 serves as an integral support, and the mounting base 102 provides mounting for the hydraulic cylinder 103, the hinge plate 105, and the fifth connecting rod 112. The garment conveying platform is located below the frame 101.

[0044] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
