The cutters are arranged along a first direction, parallel to the length extension direction of the material tube. During cutting, each cutter cuts the material tube simultaneously, obtaining at least two bead tubes per cut. By arranging the cutters along the length extension direction of the material tube, and ensuring that each cutter cuts the material tube simultaneously, at least two bead tubes are obtained per cut. Compared to the traditional method of obtaining only one bead tube per cut, this significantly improves the production efficiency of bead tubes.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model generally relates to the field of embroidery machine technology, and more particularly to a bead tube cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] Beaded embroidery is a special embroidery technique used in computerized embroidery machines. It enhances the three-dimensionality and decorative effect of the design by incorporating beads (slender, tubular decorative elements) during the embroidery process. This technique is widely used in high-end clothing, home textiles, and handicrafts. The addition of beads gives the embroidered pattern a distinct three-dimensional effect, enhancing its visual impact; the luster and texture of the beads add a sense of luxury and artistry to the embroidery; furthermore, the beads are made of materials such as metal, plastic, or glass, possessing strong wear resistance and durability.

[0003] In related technologies, bead cutting devices include several cutters, each cutter corresponding to a material tube, and each cutter cuts once to obtain one bead tube. However, this bead cutting device suffers from low cutting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a bead tube cutting device, including: a tube cutting mechanism.

[0005] The tube cutting mechanism includes at least two cutters for cutting the material tube into bead tubes. The cutters are arranged along a first direction parallel to the length extension direction of the material tube. During cutting, each cutter cuts the material tube simultaneously, obtaining at least two bead tubes in a single cut.

[0006] As an implementation method, each of the cutters is correspondingly provided with a first elastic element, through the action of the first elastic element, the cutter applies elastic downward pressure to the side wall of the feed tube.

[0007] As an alternative implementation, the tube cutting mechanism further includes a support assembly, which includes a support member and a second elastic member. Through the action of the second elastic member, the support member applies an elastic support force to the side wall of the tube.

[0008] As one possible implementation, the pipe cutting mechanism has two cutters, and the support is located between the two cutters.

[0009] As an implementation, the cutter is a circular cutter with a tapered cutting edge, and the support includes a support portion for supporting the material tube. The dimension of the support portion in the first direction matches the distance between the two cutting edges in the first direction.

[0010] As one possible implementation, the tube cutting mechanism is provided with a plurality of the cutters, and the support is located between the two outermost cutters.

[0011] As an implementation, the cutter is a circular cutter with a tapered cutting edge, and the support includes a support portion for supporting the material tube. The dimension of the support portion in the first direction matches the distance between the two outermost cutting edges in the first direction.

[0012] As one possible implementation, the cutters are arranged at equal intervals along the first direction, and the distance between adjacent cutters matches the length of the bead tube.

[0013] As one possible implementation, the pipe cutting mechanism includes a cutting assembly, which includes a first mounting body, a cutting holder, and the cutting blades. The cutting blades arranged along the first direction form a cutting unit, and a plurality of the cutting units are arranged along a second direction and disposed on the cutting holder. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the cutting holder is detachably connected to the first mounting body.

[0014] As one possible implementation, the cutter assembly includes at least two cutter holders, each cutter holder corresponding to a different distance between adjacent cutters.

[0015] In the above-described solution, the cutting blades are arranged along the length of the material tube. During cutting, each blade cuts the material tube simultaneously, obtaining at least two beads per cut. Compared to the traditional method of obtaining only one bead per cut, this significantly improves the production efficiency of bead production. This improvement not only reduces the number of cuts but also shortens the production cycle, making the overall production process more efficient and streamlined. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant utility model and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0018] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] This application proposes a bead cutting device, which is designed to precisely cut material tubes into beads of a preset length. These beads are then embroidered onto fabric using a computerized embroidery machine, giving the fabric a unique decorative aesthetic and thus significantly increasing the added value of the fabric.

[0020] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the bead cutting device includes a bead cutting mechanism. The bead cutting mechanism includes at least two cutters 11, which are used to cut the material tube into bead tubes. The cutters 11 are arranged along a first direction, which is parallel to the length extension direction of the material tube. During cutting, each cutter 11 cuts the material tube simultaneously, obtaining at least two bead tubes in a single cut.

[0021] By obtaining at least two beads in a single cut, compared to the traditional method of obtaining only one bead per cut, the production efficiency of beads is significantly improved. This improvement not only reduces the number of cuts but also shortens the production cycle, making the overall production process more efficient and streamlined.

[0022] The following embodiments provide a detailed description of the pipe cutting mechanism: like Figure 1 As shown, the pipe cutting mechanism includes a cutter assembly 10 and a support assembly 20, which are arranged vertically. The cutter assembly 10 can reciprocate in the vertical direction to move closer to or further away from the support assembly 20, and the support assembly 20 can reciprocate in the vertical direction to move closer to or further away from the cutter assembly 10.

[0023] The cutting blade assembly 10 includes a first mounting body 13, a cutting blade holder 12, and cutting blades 11. The cutting blades 11 arranged along a first direction form a cutting blade unit. Multiple cutting blade units are arranged along a second direction and mounted on the cutting blade holder 12, with the second direction perpendicular to the first direction. For example, multiple cutting blade units are arranged along the left-right direction on the cutting blade holder 12, each cutting blade unit including at least two cutting blades 11, and each cutting blade 11 is arranged along the front-back direction. The cutting blade holder 12 is connected to the first mounting body 13.

[0024] The support assembly 20 includes a second mounting body 22 and support members 21. Multiple support members 21 are arranged along a second direction and disposed on the second mounting body 22. For example, multiple support members 21 are arranged along a left-right direction on the second mounting body 22, each support member 21 corresponding to a cutting unit, and a material tube is provided between each support member 21 and each cutting unit. The support member 21 includes a support portion 211 for supporting the material tube.

[0025] Each cutter 11 is correspondingly provided with a first elastic element, and through the action of the first elastic element, the cutter 11 applies elastic downward pressure to the side wall of the material tube. Each support 21 is correspondingly provided with a second elastic element, and through the action of the second elastic element, the support 21 applies elastic support force to the side wall of the material tube.

[0026] In practical applications, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bead cutting device also includes a fixed base 30, which is located near the support assembly 20 and is used to support the material tube. Before the cutting mechanism cuts the material tube, there is a gap between the support member 21 and the material tube in the vertical direction, and there is also a gap between the cutter 11 and the material tube in the vertical direction. When the cutting mechanism is about to cut the material tube, the support assembly 20 moves toward the cutter assembly 10 until the support member 21 supports the material tube. At this moment, the supporting part of the support member 21 is higher than the bearing surface of the fixed base 30, causing the end of the material tube to be inclined upwards, such as... Figure 2 As shown. Next, the cutter assembly 10 moves toward the support assembly 20, and the cutter 11 presses against the material tube, thereby completing the cutting of the material tube to form a bead tube.

[0027] Because the forces between the inclined feed tube and each cutter 11 are different during cutting, such as Figure 3 As shown, the force between the cutter 11 on the right and the tube is slightly greater, while the force between the cutter 11 on the left and the tube is smaller. This imbalance in cutting force affects the cutting effect, resulting in uneven or damaged bead tube cuts.

[0028] To ensure that the cutting force is the same at each cut, each cutter 11 is correspondingly set with a first elastic element. Under the pre-pressure of the first elastic element, the cutting force at each cut is approximately equal, avoiding uneven cutting forces at each cut. In addition, the cutter 11 is in elastic contact with the tube, avoiding rigid contact between the two, thereby preventing wear on the surface of the tube from affecting the quality of the bead tube.

[0029] Under the pre-pressure of the second elastic element, the support 21 is in elastic contact with the tube, avoiding rigid contact between the two, thereby preventing the quality of the bead tube from being affected by wear on the surface of the tube.

[0030] Furthermore, the intense impact force generated during cutting is effectively absorbed and buffered by the elastic contact between the support 21 and the tube, and the elastic contact between the cutter 11 and the tube. Simultaneously, the elastic contact ensures that the support 21 and the cutter 11 remain in close contact with the tube surface throughout the entire cutting process. This reduces vibration, stabilizes the tube, and makes the entire cutting process more stable and controllable, ensuring a smooth cut on the bead tube.

[0031] In one embodiment, the cutter assembly 10 has two cutters 11, and the support member 21 is located between the two cutters 11.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the cutting unit includes two cutters 11 arranged along a first direction, and the distance between the two cutters 11 is the length of the bead tube. The cutter 11 is a circular cutter 11, and the edge of the circular cutter 11 is provided with a tapered cutting edge 111. The dimension of the support portion 211 of the support member 21 in the first direction matches the distance between the two cutting edges 111 in the first direction.

[0033] It should be noted that a groove is provided at the upper end of the support member 21, which matches the material tube. The support member 211 is configured as a groove. The size of the groove in the first direction matches the distance between the two cutting blades 111 in the first direction. At the moment of cutting, the groove makes large-area contact with the material tube, rather than point or line contact. More of the impact force at the moment of cutting is absorbed by the support member 211. At the same time, the large-area groove further ensures that the support member 21 always maintains close contact with the surface of the material tube throughout the entire cutting process. Thus, the entire cutting process is more stable and controllable, ensuring a smooth bead tube cut.

[0034] Of course, it is understandable that the dimension of the support portion 211 of the support member 21 in the first direction can be smaller than the distance between the two cutting edges 111 in the first direction.

[0035] In another embodiment, the pipe cutting mechanism is provided with multiple cutters 11, and the support member 21 is located between the two outermost cutter blades 111.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cutting unit includes four cutters 11 arranged along a first direction, with the four cutters 11 equally spaced. The distance between two adjacent cutters 11 is the length of the bead tube. The cutters 11 are circular cutters 11, and the edges of the circular cutters 11 are provided with conical cutting edges 111. The dimension of the support portion 211 of the support member 21 in the first direction matches the distance between the two outermost cutting edges 111 in the first direction.

[0037] It should be noted that a groove is provided at the upper end of the support member 21, which matches the material tube. The support member 211 is configured as a groove. The size of the groove in the first direction matches the distance between the two outermost cutting edges 111 in the first direction. At the moment of cutting, the groove makes large-area contact with the material tube, rather than point or line contact. More of the impact force at the moment of cutting is absorbed by the support member 211. At the same time, the large-area groove further ensures that the support member 21 always maintains close contact with the surface of the material tube throughout the entire cutting process. Thus, the entire cutting process is more stable and controllable, ensuring a smooth bead tube cut.

[0038] Of course, it is understandable that the dimension of the support portion 211 of the support member 21 in the first direction can be smaller than the distance between the two outermost cutting edges 111 in the first direction.

[0039] The cutter holder 12 is detachably connected to the first mounting body 13. The cutter assembly 10 includes at least two cutter holders 12, and the distance between adjacent cutters 11 corresponding to each cutter holder 12 is different. A cutter holder 12 is preset with a fixed blade spacing (such as 2mm / 3mm / 5mm, etc.). Changing the cutter holder 12 can directly change the length of the cut bead tube, so that the bead tube cutting device can produce bead tubes of different lengths.

[0040] It should be noted that the cutter holder 12 and the first mounting body 13 are connected by, but not limited to, threads.

[0041] It should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. in the above text is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the terms "frame" and "cloth" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "frame" and "cloth" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.
