Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment production equipment technology, specifically to a fabric platform for a typesetting machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the typesetting process of the fabric processing industry, the drawbacks of traditional flat fabric platforms are becoming increasingly apparent. Taking the patent application No. 202021574178.9 (authorization publication No. CN219689745U) entitled "A Leather Typesetting Machine" as an example, the leather typesetting machine involved in this patent uses a flat platform design for its working area. From the perspective of operational convenience and ergonomics, operators have to frequently and significantly bend over when handling the fabric in front of the platform. This posture not only easily causes lower back fatigue but also, if maintained for a long time, may induce lower back problems, seriously affecting work efficiency and the operator's health.
[0003] Furthermore, flat-panel platforms offer significant limitations in terms of field of vision. Operators struggle to observe the overall condition of the fabric clearly and comprehensively, resulting in numerous blind spots. Consequently, defects such as tears, stains, and abnormal textures are difficult to detect in a timely manner. These undetected defects can easily lead to cutting errors during subsequent layout and processing, increasing the product defect rate, wasting materials, and directly raising production costs.
[0004] Secondly, traditional fabric platforms also have significant shortcomings in terms of height adjustment. Most of these platforms have a fixed height, which cannot accommodate the different heights of different operators, nor can it meet the special needs of different fabric thicknesses and diverse layout processes. Even if some platforms have height adjustment capabilities, the adjustment process is often complex and cumbersome, making it difficult to achieve quick and accurate adjustments, which seriously hinders the efficient progress of layout work.
[0005] In conclusion, the existing fabric platform of typesetting machines still has some areas for optimization in terms of structural design and functional implementation. With the rapid development of the modern fabric processing industry, these shortcomings have become increasingly apparent, impacting production efficiency and product quality to some extent. Therefore, developing a more innovative fabric platform is essential and can play a positive role in promoting the continued progress of the fabric processing industry. Utility Model Content

The platform assembly is arranged in an inclined manner with the front lower and the back higher to form an inclined working plane for fixing the fabric.
[0008] The platform component is equipped with independent height adjustment mechanisms at each of its four corners.

[0010] The frame is provided with an adjustment plate that extends horizontally and corresponds to each height adjustment mechanism. The adjustment plate is provided with a strip hole that extends in the front-back direction and allows the adjustment rod to be inserted from top to bottom.
[0011] Two nuts are threaded onto the external thread and abut against the upper and lower ends of the adjusting plate respectively to lock the height of the adjusting rod exposed above the adjusting plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the length of the adjustment rod corresponding to the front end of the platform component is less than the length of the adjustment rod corresponding to the rear end, so as to adapt to the inclined arrangement of the platform component with the front lower and the rear higher.
[0015] To enable operators to intuitively and accurately know the ground clearance of the corresponding angle of the platform component, facilitate height adjustment operations, and improve adjustment accuracy and efficiency, preferably, the height adjustment mechanism is also equipped with a digital display module, which is fixed on the adjustment rod and used to display the ground clearance value of the corresponding angle of the platform component in real time.
[0016] In order to effectively adsorb and fix the fabric, prevent the fabric from shifting during the layout process, ensure layout accuracy, and clarify the functional structure of each part of the platform component, preferably, the platform component includes a support and an adsorption plate disposed on the support.
[0017] The adsorption plate has a negative pressure chamber inside, and the working surface of the adsorption plate is provided with a plurality of adsorption holes that communicate with the negative pressure chamber.
[0018] The adsorption plate is also provided with an air outlet that communicates with the negative pressure chamber;
[0019] The adjusting rod is connected to the bracket.

The adjustable support feet are installed at the bottom of the frame in a height-adjustable manner via a threaded structure, so that the universal casters can selectively contact the ground.
[0024] To optimize the tilt angle of the inclined working plane, preferably, the angle α between the inclined working plane of the platform assembly and the horizontal plane is 5°~10°.
[0025] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: By arranging the platform components at an angle, with the front lower than the back, an inclined working plane is formed. Furthermore, by setting independent height adjustment mechanisms at each of the four corners of the platform components, and allowing each mechanism to adjust its height individually to dynamically adjust the height difference between the four corners, the inclined platform design allows operators to easily handle fabrics without frequent bending, significantly reducing the risk of lower back fatigue and occupational diseases. Simultaneously, the inclined layout provides a wider field of vision, reduces blind spots, and makes it easier to spot defects in the fabric, thereby reducing the defect rate and material waste. In addition, the independently adjustable height adjustment mechanisms at the four corners can flexibly adapt to the height differences of different operators, as well as the needs of different fabric thicknesses and layout processes, further improving work efficiency and operational comfort.

[0032] Figures 1-5 The figure shown is the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] The fabric platform of the typesetting machine in this embodiment mainly includes a frame 1, a platform assembly 2, and a height adjustment mechanism 3.
[0034] Among them, reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the frame 1 serves as the basic platform, and the platform component 2 is inclined on the frame 1 with a lower front and higher rear. An inclined working plane 2a is formed on the platform component 2 to fix the fabric. In this embodiment, the angle α between the inclined working plane 2a and the horizontal plane is in the range of 5° to 10°. In practical applications, an angle α of approximately 6° between the inclined working plane 2a and the horizontal plane is sufficient to effectively optimize the laying and transmission of the fabric on the platform. This allows operators to easily handle the fabric without frequently bending over; simultaneously, the inclined layout provides a wider field of vision, reduces blind spots, and makes it easier to spot defects on the fabric, thereby reducing the defect rate and material waste.
[0035] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the platform component 2 includes a support 22 and an adsorption plate 23. Each of the four corners of the support 22 has a connecting plate 221, and each connecting plate 221 has a hinge seat 222. The hinge shaft 21 is mounted on the corresponding hinge seat 222. The adsorption plate 23 is mounted on the support 22 and forms a negative pressure chamber 231 inside. Multiple adsorption holes 232 communicating with the negative pressure chamber 231 are provided on the inclined working plane 2a, and an air outlet 233 communicating with the negative pressure chamber 231 is also provided.
[0036] The negative pressure chamber 231 is equipped with multiple completely isolated sub-chambers 234. Each sub-chamber 234 is equipped with an adsorption hole 232 and an air outlet 233. The air outlet 233 is connected to a common negative pressure air pump 236 through a diversion pipe 235. Each sub-chamber 234 is equipped with an independently controlled air pressure regulating valve 237 on the diversion pipe 235, which can realize the independent adjustment of the adsorption force of the fabric in different areas.
[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, six sets of height adjustment mechanisms 3 are provided, with three sets each at the front and rear ends of the platform assembly 2. Each set of height adjustment mechanisms 3 includes an adjustment rod 31 and an adjustment nut 32. The top of the adjustment rod 31 is rotatably connected to the bracket 22 of the platform assembly 2 via a hinge shaft 21, and the bottom forms an external thread. The length of the adjustment rod 31 corresponding to the front end of the platform assembly 2 is less than the length of the adjustment rod 31 corresponding to the rear end, in order to adapt to the inclined arrangement of the front being lower and the rear being higher. Two adjustment nuts 32 are threadedly connected to the external threads of the adjustment rod 31. The frame 1 is provided with an adjustment plate 11 extending horizontally and corresponding to the height adjustment mechanism 3. The adjustment plate 11 has a through-hole 111 extending in the front-rear direction for the adjustment rod 31 to be inserted from top to bottom. Two nuts 32 abut against the upper and lower ends of the adjustment plate 11 respectively, for locking the height of the adjustment rod 31 exposed above the adjustment plate 11, and the multiple adjustment plates 11 on the frame 1 are of the same height. Each set of height adjustment mechanisms 3 is also equipped with a digital display module. The digital display module can be fixed on the adjustment rod 31 and is used to display the ground clearance value of the corresponding angle of the platform component 2 in real time. The digital display module is not specifically shown in the attached figure.
[0038] The operating principle of this fabric layout platform is as follows:
[0039] Once the fabric is placed on the inclined working plane 2a of platform component 2, the high-precision camera above frame 1 initiates a scanning program. The camera quickly scans the fabric, generating fabric outline information and using image recognition algorithms to identify defects on the fabric surface, automatically marking the location and type of defects (such as damage, stains, abnormal textures, etc.). After inspection, the integrated layout software on the platform automatically generates toolpath trajectories based on preset layout rules, fabric outline, and defect distribution, achieving automated layout. After layout is completed, the system outputs a layout file containing detailed toolpath information, providing precise guidance for subsequent cutting processes. During this process, the stable structure of platform component 2 (such as the inclined plane design, independent height adjustment mechanism 3, and negative pressure adsorption function) works in conjunction with the support structure of frame 1 to ensure the positional accuracy of the fabric during inspection, layout, and subsequent processes, improving overall processing efficiency and product quality.
[0040] By independently adjusting the height adjustment mechanisms 3 at the four corners, rotating the adjusting nut 32 can change the extension length of the adjusting rod 31. Combined with the length difference between the front and rear adjusting rods 31, the dynamic adjustment of the tilt angle of the platform component 2 (lower at the front and higher at the rear) and local flatness compensation can be achieved. The digital display module 33 assists in precise height control. The negative pressure air pump 236 provides negative pressure to each sub-chamber 234 through the diversion pipeline 235. The adsorption hole 232 adsorbs and fixes the fabric. The adsorption force of each sub-area can be independently adjusted through the air pressure regulating valve 237. The tilted working plane 2a reduces the bending degree of the operator and improves the field of vision for the overall condition of the fabric. The universal rollers 12 and adjustable support feet 13 at the bottom of the frame 1 facilitate the movement and positioning of the equipment. The integration of the high-precision camera and the intelligent layout system realizes the full automation of the process from detection and marking to layout, further reducing labor costs and material waste.
