Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment processing technology, specifically a novel folding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In garment manufacturing, pocket opening machines are essential auxiliary processing machinery, mainly used to create pockets in specific locations on garments for carrying small items such as mobile phones and wallets. The conventional approach is to process the pocket opening and lip separately first, and then sew the lip onto the opening to complete the pocket opening.
[0003] The bag opening process involves cutting, folding, shaping, and sewing the bag opening. Cutting involves making two "Y"-shaped or "I"-shaped slits at the bag opening. Folding involves folding the cut bag opening inward to form a folded edge. Shaping involves placing the bag lip on the folded edge. Finally, the bag is sewn together.
[0004] However, the current pressing frame has four sets of fixed cutting blades and pulling cutting blades, and the inserting mechanism has four corresponding sets of inserting blades. For example, in an automated true pocket manufacturing machine with Chinese patent publication number CN221167014U, since the four sets of fixed cutting blades and pulling cutting blades require four sets of cylinders and connecting rods, a large installation space is required on the substrate. This results in the only option to compress the size of the through slot on a substrate of the same size, which limits the size of the pocket models that can be manufactured.
[0005] Based on the above issues, this case optimizes the four sets of fixed material cutters, pull material cutters, and insert cutters into two sets. Utility Model Content
[0006] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a novel material folding mechanism that solves the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0008] (II) Technical Solution
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a novel material folding mechanism, which is set on the worktable of the machine frame. The material folding mechanism includes a fixed plate, a lifting plate, a lifting module, two sets of inserting blades and inserting blade cylinders. The lifting module is set on the fixed plate and is used to drive the lifting plate to rise and fall. The two sets of inserting blade cylinders are vertically set on the lifting plate, and the cylinder output ends are connected to the inserting blades. The two sets of inserting blades are corresponding to each other.
[0010] Preferably, the lifting module includes a lifting cylinder, a vertical guide rail, and a vertical slider that is slidably adapted to the vertical guide rail. The vertical guide rail is vertically mounted on a fixed plate, the lifting plate is connected to the vertical slider, the lifting cylinder is vertically mounted on the fixed plate, and the cylinder output end is connected to the lifting plate.
[0011] Preferably, the lifting plate, lifting module, two sets of inserters and inserter cylinder are covered with protective covers, which are fixed to the fixing plate, and the inserters protrude below the protective covers.
[0012] Preferably, the folding mechanism further includes a lateral movement component, which is connected to the fixed plate via a backpack frame, and is used to drive the fixed plate to move laterally.
[0013] Preferably, the transverse moving assembly includes a transverse moving plate, a transverse slide rail, a lead screw, and a motor. The transverse slide rail and the lead screw are arranged transversely on the frame. The transverse moving plate is slidably adapted to the transverse slide rail by a transverse slider. A nut is threaded onto the lead screw and fixed to the transverse moving plate. The motor is fixed to the frame and connected to the lead screw. The transverse moving plate is connected to a fixed plate through a backpack frame.
[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] This utility model provides a novel material folding mechanism. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This novel folding mechanism only has two sets of insert blades, which are matched with two sets of universal pull blades. Compared with the traditional combination of four sets of insert blades, pull blades and stationary blades, it can make the through slots on the substrate and the size of stationary blades and pull blades larger, improve the model of pocket manufacturing and make it more versatile.

[0022] This utility model embodiment provides a novel material folding mechanism, such as... Figure 1-4As shown, the frame 1 is equipped with a laser cutting mechanism 3, a folding mechanism 4, and a sewing mechanism 5 corresponding to the worktable 11. The frame is also equipped with a substrate moving mechanism for moving the outer pressure frame assembly and a transverse moving component 7 for moving the folding mechanism 4. The outer pressure frame assembly is prior art, and its structure can be found in an automatic bag opening machine with publication number CN220724510U.
[0023] The difference lies in that this application has only two sets of material pulling and material fixing components. The outer pressure frame assembly includes a base plate, a pressure frame assembly, a material fixing assembly, and a material pulling assembly. The material fixing assembly and the material pulling assembly are arranged vertically in the front view, and the two mechanisms do not interfere with each other when running in a plane. The material fixing assembly is located above the material pulling assembly. A rectangular slot is provided on the base plate for opening the bag. The blades on the material fixing assembly and the material pulling assembly correspond to the front and rear sides of the slot.
[0024] The material positioning assembly includes an outer material positioning blade, an inner material positioning blade, and two sets of material positioning drive components. The outer material positioning blade is C-shaped, and the outer and inner material positioning blades correspond to the front and rear sides of the through slot. After the outer and inner material positioning blades are combined, a rectangular slot is formed in the middle. The length of the rectangular slot is the width of the largest "Y" shaped cut. The two sets of material positioning drive components are used to drive the outer and inner material positioning blades to move axially towards the front and rear sides of the through slot. The material positioning drive components include a material positioning driver and a material positioning connecting rod. The material positioning driver can be a material positioning blade cylinder or other modules that can achieve linear drive function, such as a lead screw and slide rail module. The material positioning driver is mounted on the base plate and is connected to the outer or inner material positioning blade through the material positioning connecting rod. Multiple material positioning connecting rods can be provided. In this embodiment, each set has two material positioning connecting rods, which are arranged at right angles and connected end to end. The base plate is provided with a guide groove for the axial displacement of the material positioning connecting rods.
[0025] The material pulling assembly includes an outer pulling blade, an inner pulling blade, and two sets of pulling drive components. The outer and inner pulling blades have slots for inserting cutting tools. The two sets of pulling drive components drive the outer and inner pulling blades to move axially towards the front and rear sides of the through slot. Each pulling drive component includes a pulling driver and a pulling linkage. The pulling driver can be a pulling cylinder or other modules capable of linear drive, such as a lead screw and slide rail module. The pulling cylinder is mounted on the base plate and connected to either the outer or inner pulling blade via the pulling linkage. Two pulling cylinders can be used to drive the outer pulling blade, with each cylinder positioned on one side of the outer pulling blade. The output ends of the two cylinders are connected to the two ends of the outer pulling blade via the pulling linkage.

The two sets of insert blade cylinders 46 are vertically mounted on the lifting plate 42, and the cylinder output ends are connected to the insert blades 47. The two sets of insert blades 47 are aligned front and rear. The insert blade cylinders 46 are used to drive the insert blades 47 to rise and fall.
[0027] The two sets of insert blades 47 correspond to the slots of the two sets of pull blades mentioned above, and the insert blades 47 can be vertically inserted into the slots of the pull blades.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the lifting module includes a lifting cylinder 43, a vertical guide rail 44, and a vertical slider 45 slidably adapted to the vertical guide rail 44. The vertical guide rail 44 is vertically mounted on a fixed plate 41. A lifting plate 42 is connected to the vertical slider 45. The lifting cylinder 43 is vertically mounted on the fixed plate 41, and its output end is connected to the lifting plate 42. The lifting module can also be composed of other modules capable of linear drive, such as a lead screw and guide rail module.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to prevent the lifting cylinder 43, vertical guide rail 44 and other components from coming into contact with the operator, the lifting plate 42, lifting module, two sets of inserting blades 47 and inserting blade cylinder 46 are covered with protective covers 48. The protective covers 48 do not come into contact with the above components. The protective covers 48 are fixed on the fixing plate 41, and the inserting blades 47 protrude below the protective covers 48.
[0030] The folding mechanism 4 also includes a lateral movement component 7, which is connected to the fixed plate 41 via the backpack frame 6. The lateral movement component 7 is used to drive the fixed plate 41 to move laterally.
[0031] The lateral movement assembly 7 includes a lateral movement plate 71, a lateral slide rail 72, a lead screw 74, and a motor 75. The lateral slide rail 72 is fixed laterally to the frame 1. The lead screw 74 is arranged laterally on the frame 1, and its two ends are fixed to the frame 1 via bearing seats. The lateral movement plate 71 is slidably adapted to the lateral slide rail 72 via a lateral slider 73. A nut is threaded onto the lead screw 74 and fixed to the lateral movement plate 71. The motor 75 is fixed to the frame 1 and connected to the lead screw 74. The lateral movement plate 71 is connected to the fixing plate 41 via a backpack frame 6.
