Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, specifically to an automatic fabric fastening device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, wrapping fabric is often used to secure products containing fabric by wrapping them together. After wrapping, the wrapped end of the fabric needs to be manually inserted through a fastening device and passed through the fastening stud on the wrapped product to secure it to the stud. This process typically involves manually positioning the wrapped product, aligning the fastening stud with the fastening hole on the fastening device, and then pressing the fastening device against the wrapped product to receive the fastening stud into the fastening hole, thus passing the wrapped end of the fabric and completing the fastening operation.

[0003] However, during the fastening process of fabric-covered products, the positioning of the product, aligning the fastening studs with the fastener holes, and driving the fastening device are all performed by human operators. This results in a high degree of manual intervention. As the number of fabric-covered products requiring fastening increases, the error rate of human operation gradually increases. For example, if the fastening studs on the fabric-covered product cannot be aligned with the fastener holes on the fastener in one go, manual readjustment is required. Consequently, the time required to fasten a single fabric-covered product is extended, thus affecting the overall efficiency of fastening the entire fabric-covered product. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems and achieve at least one advantage of this application, this application provides an automatic fabric fastening device for fastening at least one pair of studs on at least one fabric-covered product, wherein the automatic fabric fastening device comprises:

[0026] The following description is intended to disclose this application and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of this application defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this application.

[0027] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this application, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0028] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0029] refer to Figures 1 to 9 An automatic fabric fastening device according to a preferred embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below. The automatic fabric fastening device is used to fasten at least one stud 91 to be fastened on the side of at least one fabric-covered product 90. The automatic fabric fastening device includes a device body 10, a positioning component 20, a flipping component 30 and a fastening mechanism 40.

[0030] Specifically, the positioning component 20 is used to position one of the fabric-covered products 90, and the flipping component 30 is used to directly flip the fabric-covered product 90 positioned by the positioning component 20, so that after the fabric-covered product 90 is flipped, at least one pair of the fastening studs 91 are facing the fastening mechanism 40, thereby allowing the fastening mechanism 40 to fasten the fabric-covered product 90.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the positioning component 20 includes a positioning plate 21 and at least one first positioning member 22. The positioning plate 21 is recessed from top to bottom to form a storage space 2101, which is adapted to the size of one of the fabric-covered products 90 and provides a place for the fabric-covered product 90. When the fabric-covered product 90 is placed in the storage space 2101, the studs 91 of the fabric-covered product 90 face upwards. Each first positioning member 22 includes a first driving member 221, a connecting block 222, and a fixing plate 223. Each connecting block 222 is held above the positioning plate 21, and each connecting block 222 is driven to move and connect to one of the first driving members 221. A fixing plate 223 is connected to the bottom of a connecting block 222, and when a first driving member 221 drives a connecting block 222, the fixing plate 223 is configured to move along the top wall of the positioning plate 21 until its bottom is in contact with the surface of the fabric-covered product 90.

[0032] Understandably, when a fabric-covered product 90 is placed in the storage space 2101, at least one of the first driving components 221 is activated to move a corresponding connecting block 222 above the position where the positioning plate 21 forms the storage space 2101. At this time, a corresponding fixing plate 223 synchronously moves with the connecting block 222 above the fabric-covered product 90 and makes its bottom fit against the fabric-covered product 90, thereby positioning the fabric-covered product 90 placed in the storage space 2101.

[0033] In other words, each of the first positioning components 22 has a fixed state and a released state. When a first positioning component 22 is in the fixed state, the corresponding fixed plate 223 is moved above the fabric product 90 by being driven by a first driving member 221 until it is in contact with the fabric product 90. When a first positioning component 22 is in the released state, the corresponding fixed plate 223 is moved away from the fabric product 90 by being driven by a first driving member 221 until it is offset from the fabric product 90.

[0034] It should be added that each of the fixing plates 223 does not contact the studs 91 to be fastened of the fabric-covered product 90.

[0035] Preferably, the positioning plate 21 has the same number of connecting portions 211 as the first driving member 221 at its top, with each connecting portion 211 extending upwards. One of the first driving members 221 is connected to the top position of one of the connecting portions 211 to drive the connecting block 222.

[0036] Preferably, specifically as follows Figure 8 As shown, each of the first positioning components 22 further includes a first limiting unit 224, wherein each first limiting unit 224 includes a pair of first guide rails 2241 and a pair of first sliders 2242. The two first guide rails 2241 in each first limiting unit 224 are symmetrically connected to the top wall of the positioning plate 21 with respect to the storage space 2101, and each first guide rail 2241 extends in a direction parallel to the moving direction of the connecting block 222. The two first sliders 2242 in each first limiting unit 224 are symmetrically connected to the bottom of the connecting block 222 with respect to the fixing plate 223, and the two first sliders 2242 in each first limiting unit 224 are movably connected to the two first guide rails 2241 respectively. In this way, one connecting block 222 can be driven by a corresponding first driving member 221 to move in a predetermined direction, thereby preventing deviation.

[0037] Preferably, each of the first drive members 221 is implemented to include a telescopic device, such as a telescopic cylinder.

[0038] In one embodiment, the number of the first positioning members 22 is set to two, and the two first positioning members 22 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the storage space 2101. That is, the two connecting blocks 222 of the two first positioning members 22 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart, so that the two fixing plates 223 are also arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart. Then, when the two first driving members 221 drive the two connecting blocks 222 respectively to position a fabric-covered product 90 placed in the storage space 2101, the two fixing plates 223 move closer to each other and abut against the two ends of the fabric-covered product 90. Compared with one first positioning member 22, the two first positioning members 22 can more stably position the fabric-covered product 90 in the storage space 2101, thereby preventing the fabric-covered product 90 from shifting when it is flipped.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 8As shown, the storage space 2101 of the positioning plate 21 is configured to penetrate both the top and bottom walls of the positioning plate 21 in a downward direction. The positioning assembly 20 further includes a second positioning member 23, which includes two second driving members 231, a driving plate 232, and a pair of supporting blocks 233. The two second driving members 231 are evenly connected to the positioning plate 21, and the driving plate 232 is driven and movably connected to the two second driving members 231. The driving plate 232 remains below the positioning plate 21. The two support blocks 233 are fixedly connected to the drive plate 232 in a relative and spaced manner, and the drive plate 232 moves the two support blocks 233 along the bottom wall of the positioning plate 21 by being driven by the two second drive members 231, until the two support blocks 233 span the storage space 2101, that is, a fabric product 90 placed in the storage space 2101 can be supported by the top of the two support blocks 233 under the action of gravity.

[0040] In this way, each of the fabric-covered products 90 can be placed in the storage space 2101 of the positioning plate 21 with the stud 91 facing upward or downward, thereby reducing the placement posture requirements of each fabric-covered product 90.

[0041] It is worth mentioning that when the fabric-covered product 90 is placed in the storage space 2101 of the positioning plate 21, and the stud 91 of the fabric-covered product 90 is facing downwards, the stud 91 of the fabric-covered product 90 is located between the two support blocks 233.

[0042] Preferably, the driving plate 232 is further provided with two vertical parts 2321, and the top of one of the vertical parts 2321 is connected to the driving end of one of the second driving members 231, and the driving plate 232 is moved by driving the vertical parts 2321 through the second driving member 231.

[0043] Furthermore, the second positioning member 23 also includes two support units 234, preferably, such as Figure 9 As shown, each of the supporting units 234 includes a first plate 2341, two second plates 2342 and a connecting frame 2343, wherein the two ends of each connecting frame 2343 are bent relative to the middle to form a notch, and the two connecting frames 2343 are connected to the bottom of the positioning plate 21 by keeping the two notches facing each other, and the two ends of each connecting frame 2343 are respectively located on both sides of the storage space 2101, so that the notch communicates with the storage space 2101.

[0044] The first plate 2341 of each of the supporting units 234 is disposed in the recess of a connecting frame 2343 and connected to the middle of the connecting frame 2343. The first plate 2341 of each of the supporting units 234 is at least partially located in the storage space 2101, serving to limit the position of the fabric-covered product 90 placed in the storage space 2101. The two second plates 2342 of each of the supporting units 234 are disposed in the recess of a connecting frame 2343 and connected to the two ends of the connecting frame 2343, respectively. The two second plates 2342 of each of the supporting units 234 are at least partially located in the storage space 2101, serving to limit the position of the fabric-covered product 90 placed in the storage space 2101. Furthermore, each of the two second plates 2342 of each of the bearing units 234 is provided with a port 234201, and the two ports 234201 of the two second plates 2342 of each of the bearing units 234 are located on the movement path of a support block 233.

[0045] It is understood that when the two support blocks 233 are driven to move, the two support blocks 233 respectively use the two openings 234201 on the corresponding moving path to support the fabric-covered product 90. Under the action of gravity, the two support blocks 233 will be supported by the inner wall forming the openings 234201, thereby avoiding deflection under the heavy pressure of the fabric-covered product 90.

[0046] It is worth mentioning that one of the fabric products 90 placed in the storage space 2101 also remains in contact with each of the first plates 2341 and each of the second plates 2342 for further restraint.

[0047] Furthermore, the second positioning member 23 also includes two second limiting units 235, preferably, as follows: Figure 8 As shown, each second limiting unit 235 includes a second guide rail 2351 and a second slider 2352. Two second guide rails 2351 are connected to the top of the driving plate 232 relative to each other and spaced apart, and each second guide rail 2351 extends in a direction parallel to the moving direction of the driving plate 232. One second slider 2352 is movably connected to one second guide rail 2351, and two second sliders 2352 are connected to the bottom of the positioning plate 21 relative to each other and spaced apart. Thus, when the second driving member 231 drives the driving plate 232 to move, relative movement occurs between one second guide rail 2351 and one second slider 2352, thereby limiting the moving direction of the driving plate 232.

[0048] It is worth mentioning that, as a variation, each of the second limiting units 235 includes a second guide rail 2351 and a second slider 2352, wherein two second guide rails 2351 are connected to the bottom of the positioning plate 21 in a direction that is opposite to and spaced apart from each other, and each second guide rail 2351 is arranged to extend in a direction parallel to the moving direction of the driving plate 232. One second slider 2352 is movably connected to one second guide rail 2351, and two second sliders 2352 are connected to the top of the driving plate 232 in a direction that is opposite to and spaced apart from each other. Thus, under the driving action of the second driving member 231, the driving plate 232 also moves in a predetermined direction by the relative movement between the two second guide rails 2351 and the two second sliders 2352, so that the two supporting blocks 233 can be used to support the fabric-covered product 90.

[0049] Specifically, the flipping assembly 30 includes at least one flipping drive member 31 and a pair of rotating members 32, wherein the two rotating members 32 are connected to opposite sides of the positioning plate 21 in a relative manner, and each rotating member 32 is disposed on the device body 10. Each flipping drive member 31 has a rotatable drive end, and one rotating member 32 is synchronously rotatably connected to the drive end of one flipping drive member 31.

[0050] It is understood that when the flipping drive 31 is activated to rotate the drive end of the flipping drive 31, at least one corresponding rotating component 32 is driven to rotate, causing the positioning plate 21 to rotate about its own axis, so that the fabric-covered product 90 positioned by the positioning component 20 is rotated synchronously, thereby adjusting the orientation of the stud 91 to be fastened on the fabric-covered product 90 so that it can be fastened by the fastening mechanism 40.

[0051] In one embodiment, the number of the flipping drive members 31 is set to two, and the two flipping drive members 31 are rotatably connected to the two rotating members 32, thereby making the positioning plate 21 easier to rotate.

[0052] Preferably, each of the flipping drive elements 31 is implemented as a servo motor.

[0053] Preferably, each of the rotating components 32 is implemented as a disc with a rotating shaft, wherein the rotating shaft of one of the discs is connected to the driving end of one of the flipping drive components 31.

[0054] Preferably, the device body 10 includes a horizontal wall 11 and two vertical walls 12. Specifically, as shown in the example below... Figure 5As shown, the two vertical walls 12 are respectively connected to the two opposite ends of the horizontal wall 11 and extend towards the bottom of the horizontal wall 11 until the horizontal wall 11 and the two vertical walls 12 together form an active space 101 for the positioning plate 21 to rotate.

[0055] The positioning plate 21 is disposed in the active space 101. The two rotating components 32 are respectively connected to the two vertical walls 12. One vertical wall 12 is connected to one of the flipping drive components 31.

[0056] Specifically, the fastening mechanism 40 includes a fastening platform 41 and an adjusting component 42. The fastening platform 41 is disposed above the positioning plate 21. A pair of fastening posts 411 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart from each other on the fastening platform 41. Each fastening post 411 has a fastening hole. The fastening platform 41 is driven by the adjusting component 42 to move and gradually align the two fastening holes and receive a pair of fastening studs 91 of the fabric-covered product 90, thereby performing a fastening operation.

[0057] It is worth mentioning that the distance between the two buckle holes of the two buckle posts 41 is equal to the distance between the pair of studs 91 to be fastened on the fabric-covered product 90. Furthermore, the fixing end of the wrapping fabric on the fabric-covered product 90 is located in front of the buckle posts 411.

[0058] In one embodiment, the adjustment component 42 is configured as a robotic arm, and the fastening platform 41 is moved and connected to the robotic arm. That is, through the operation of the robotic arm, the fastening platform 41 is automatically carried to a position close to one of the fabric-covered products 90, so that the two fastening posts 411 of the fastening platform 41 receive one pair of fastening studs 91 of the fabric-covered product 90 through the fastening holes. At this time, the fixed end of the wrapping fabric of the fabric-covered product 90 is gradually passed through by the fastening studs 91, thereby completing the fastening operation.

[0059] In another embodiment, specifically as follows Figures 1 to 4As shown, the adjustment assembly 42 includes a vertical movement drive member 421, a connecting plate 422, a horizontal movement drive member 423, and a moving platform 424. The vertical movement drive member 421 is disposed at the top of the transverse wall 11 of the device body 10, and the connecting plate 422 is driven by the vertical movement drive member 421 to move vertically towards and away from the device body 10. The horizontal movement drive member 423 is disposed at the bottom of the connecting plate 422, and the moving platform 424 is driven by the horizontal movement drive member 423 to move horizontally towards and away from the movable space 101 of the device body 10. A latch 41 is connected to the front end of the moving platform 424, and the axial direction of each latch 411 is parallel to the moving direction of the moving platform 424.

[0060] It should be noted that the direction in which the connecting plate 422 is driven by the vertical moving drive member 421 is from top to bottom or from bottom to top, and the direction in which the moving platform 424 is driven by the horizontal moving drive member 423 is parallel to the axial direction of the moving platform 424.

[0061] In other words, when it is necessary to fasten a fabric product 90 positioned by the positioning component 20, the positioning component 20 as a whole is first flipped by the flipping component 30 so that the positioned fabric product 90 is flipped synchronously with the axis of the positioning plate 21 until the fastening studs 91 of the fabric product 90 are close to the fastening platform 41, and at least one pair of fastening studs 91 are made parallel to the fastening post 411 after flipping. Then, the vertical movement drive component 421 drives the connecting plate 422 so that the horizontal movement drive component 423 and the moving platform 424 are simultaneously moved in the vertical direction until one of the fastening platforms 41 is fastened. The fastening post 411 is coaxial with at least one pair of the fastening studs 91 of the fabric-covered product 90. At this time, the fixed end of the wrapping fabric of the fabric-covered product 90 is at least partially located between the fastening post 411 and the fastening studs 91. Then, the moving platform 424 is driven by the transverse driving member 423 to make the fastening platform 41 be synchronously driven to move toward the fabric-covered product 90 until the pair of fastening studs 91 of the fabric-covered product 90 are respectively received in the fastening holes of the pair of fastening posts 411, and the fixed end of the wrapping fabric of the fabric-covered product 90 is gradually passed through by the fastening studs 91 in this process, thereby completing the fastening operation.

[0062] Preferably, the transverse wall 11 of the device body 10 forms a notch 1101, the notch 1101 is provided on the moving path of the connecting plate 422, and the size of the notch 1101 is not less than the size of the connecting plate 422, so as to allow the connecting plate 422 to move.

[0063] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vertical movement drive component 421 includes a first vertical movement drive 4211, a second vertical movement drive 4212, a connecting platform 4213, and a mounting platform 4214. Preferably, the first vertical movement drive 4211 is connected to the connecting platform 4213, and the first vertical movement drive 4211 has a retractable first end, which is connected to the transverse wall 11 of the device body 10. The second vertical movement drive 4212 is connected to the mounting platform 4214, and the second vertical movement drive 4212 has a retractable second end, which is connected to the top of the connecting plate 422. The mounting platform 4214 is connected to the connecting platform 4213.

[0064] Understandably, when it is necessary to fasten a fabric-covered product 90 positioned by the positioning component 20, the first vertical movement drive 4211 is activated to retract its first end, causing the connecting platform 4213 to approach the transverse wall 11 of the device body 10. Simultaneously, the second vertical movement drive 4212 is activated to extend its second end, causing the connecting plate 422 to move in a predetermined direction toward the movable space 101 until a pair of fastening posts 411 of the fastening platform 41 connected to the moving platform 424 are parallel to at least a pair of fastening studs 91 of the fabric-covered product 90. Thus, the pair of fastening posts 411 of the fastening platform 41 are driven by the transverse movement drive component 423 to complete the fastening operation.

[0065] It is worth mentioning that when the flipping component 30 flips the positioning component 20, the first vertical movement drive 4211 is activated to drive the first end of the first vertical movement drive 4211 to extend, so that the connecting platform 4213 moves away from the horizontal wall 11 of the device body 10, so that the connecting plate 422 is synchronously driven away from the horizontal wall 11, thereby causing the latching platform 41 to be synchronously driven away from the active space 101, so as to avoid the latching platform 41 interfering with the flipping component 30 flipping the positioning component 20. Furthermore, after the first end of the first vertical movement drive 4211 extends, the second vertical movement drive 4212 can be further activated to retract the second end of the second vertical movement drive 4212, causing the connecting plate 422 to move further away from the active space 101 along the direction of the retraction of the second end of the second vertical movement drive 4212. This allows the latching platform 41 to be synchronously driven along with the connecting plate 422 and to be completely away from the active space 101, thereby further preventing the latching platform 41 from interfering with the flipping assembly 30 flipping the positioning assembly 20.

[0066] Preferably, both the first vertical movement drive 4211 and the second vertical movement drive 4212 include a lifting device, such as a lifting cylinder.

[0067] More preferably, the vertical movement drive member 421 further includes at least one first guide rod 4215. More preferably, one end of each first guide rod 4215 is fixedly connected to the top of the transverse wall 11, and each first guide rod 4215 is arranged to extend along a direction parallel to the moving direction of the connecting platform 4213 until the other end away from the transverse wall 11 passes through the connecting platform 4213. Thus, when the first vertical movement drive member 4211 is activated to extend or retract the first end of the first vertical movement drive member 4211, the connecting platform 4213 is driven to move synchronously with each first guide rod 4215, thereby preventing the connecting platform 4213 from deviating.

[0068] More preferably, the vertical movement drive member 421 further includes at least one second guide rod 4216. Preferably, one end of each second guide rod 4216 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 422, and each second guide rod 4216 is arranged to extend in a direction parallel to the moving direction of the connecting plate 422 until the other end away from the connecting plate 422 passes through the mounting platform 4214. Thus, when the second vertical movement drive member 4212 is activated to extend or retract the second end of the second vertical movement drive member 4212, the mounting platform 4214 is driven to move synchronously with each second guide rod 4216, thereby preventing the mounting platform 4214 from shifting.

[0069] Preferably, the bottom of the connecting plate 422 is provided with at least one guide rail 4221, each guide rail 4221 being arranged to extend in a direction parallel to the moving direction of the moving platform 424, thereby limiting the moving direction of the moving platform 424. Correspondingly, the moving platform 424 is provided with the same number of limiting portions 4241 as the guide rails 4221 on the side near the connecting plate 422, and one limiting portion 4241 is movably connected to one guide rail 4221. Thus, under the driving action of the transverse driving member 423, the moving platform 424 moves along a predetermined moving direction, so that the fastening platform 41 connected to the moving platform 424 moves closer to and further away from the fabric-covered product 90.

[0070] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the lateral movement drive component 423 includes a first lateral movement drive member 4231, a driving block 4232, and a second lateral movement drive member 4233. Preferably, the first lateral movement drive member 4231 is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 422. The driving block 4232 is movably connected to at least one guide rail 4221 of the connecting plate 422, and the driving block 4232 is driven to be movably connected to the driving end of the first lateral movement drive member 4231. The second transverse drive 4233 is connected to the drive block 4232, and the moving stage 424 is driven and movably connected to the drive end of the second transverse drive 4233. That is, when it is necessary to drive the moving stage 424 to make the buckle post 411 of the buckling platform 41 be used for buckling operation, the first transverse drive 4231 is activated to make the drive block 4232 move along the extension direction of the guide rail 4221, so that the moving stage 424 and the second transverse drive 4233 move simultaneously with the drive block 4232, so that the buckle post 411 of the buckling platform 41 is used to receive the stud 91 to be fastened of the fabric-covered product 90.

[0071] Furthermore, when activating only the first lateral movement drive 4231 is insufficient to allow the fastening post 411 of the fastening platform 41 to fully receive the stud 91 to be fastened of the fabric-covered product 90, the second lateral movement drive 4233 is further activated so that the moving platform 424 carries the fastening platform 41 closer to the flipped fabric-covered product 90 until the fastening post 411 of the fastening platform 41 fully receives the stud 91 to be fastened of the fabric-covered product 90, thereby completing the fastening operation.

[0072] In this way, when it is necessary to fasten at least one pair of the studs 91 to be fastened on a fabric-covered product 90, the positioning component 20 first automatically positions the fabric-covered product 90, then the flipping component 30 automatically flips the fabric-covered product 90 positioned by the positioning component 20 to a position where the fastening mechanism 40 can directly perform the fastening operation. Finally, the adjusting component 42 of the fastening mechanism 40 automatically drives the fastening platform 41 to move in a predetermined manner until the fastening post 411 of the fastening platform 41 can receive at least one pair of the studs 91 to be fastened on the fabric-covered product 90 through the fastening hole. That is, in this process, each operation can be carried out automatically and in an orderly manner without human intervention, thereby reducing the error rate of human operation and improving the efficiency of the fastening operation when fastening each fabric-covered product 90.

[0073] Preferably, both the first lateral movement drive 4231 and the second lateral movement drive 4233 are implemented to include linear motion devices, such as telescopic cylinders.
