Description

Technical Field

[0002] During automated sewing, it is difficult to achieve precise positioning of the sewing sheets, whether placed manually or automatically at the corresponding workstation. Therefore, it is necessary to correct and position the sewing sheets.

[0003] Taking a baseball cap as an example, it is made up of multiple cap pieces sewn together. These cap pieces are generally cut automatically, and then the cap pieces are sent to the corresponding workstations on the machine by manual or automatic means. When sewing the cap pieces, it is necessary to ensure that one side of the cap piece is aligned and flush. For example, if the cap piece is sewn together on the right side, the right side needs to be positioned, and the left side is pushed to the right by positioning rods or other objects so that the right side of the cap piece is corrected to the required position.

[0004] The above-mentioned correction and positioning techniques are only applicable to relatively hard sewing sheets. For thinner, especially softer, materials, the traditional pushing correction method is difficult to achieve the desired correction effect. Therefore, automatic correction of softer sewing sheets is difficult, limiting the research and development of technologies for automatically correcting softer sewing sheets on sewing machines.

[0005] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be researched to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0044] The sheet placement panel 10 has a sheet placement area on its top surface; the sheet placement panel 10 is provided with a clearance groove 11 that runs vertically through the sheet placement area;

[0045] The sensing unit 20 includes a plurality of spaced position sensors 22 for sensing the edge position (usually one side edge) of the sewing sheet; the position sensors 22 are laser sensors (infrared sensors can also be used). The position sensors 22 can be mounted on a top plate 21, which is located above the sheet placement panel 10 and maintains a vertical distance. The position sensors, positioned above the sheet placement panel, sense the edge position of the sewing sheet downwards. The top plate 21 is provided with a plurality of adjustment slots, each corresponding to a position sensor, allowing the position sensors 22 to adjust their positions along their respective slots on the top plate 21 to meet the requirements of different side shapes (and corresponding key monitoring points) of different sewing sheets.

[0046] The vacuum adsorption seat 30 has a vacuum adsorption surface at its top; the top of the vacuum adsorption seat 30 extends into the clearance groove 11 so that the vacuum adsorption surface is exposed in the clearance groove 11; the periphery of the vacuum adsorption surface and the inner side of the clearance groove 11 maintain an annular movable gap; the vacuum adsorption seat 30 is connected to a rotary drive unit 70, which drives the vacuum adsorption seat 30 to rotate around the Z-axis.

[0047] The translation seat 3 is used to house the rotary drive unit 70. The translation seat 30 is also equipped with an annular baffle 63 and a baffle drive unit 61. The baffle drive unit 61 drives the annular baffle 63 to extend upward into the annular movable gap, downward away from the annular movable gap, and avoid the sheet placement panel 10. The translation seat 3 has a relatively fixed base plate and a top plate 3-1. The rotary drive unit 70 is disposed on the base plate, and the vacuum adsorption seat 30 is located above the top plate 3-1. The top plate 3-1 has a rotating hole, and the rotation axis of the rotary drive unit 70 passes upward through the rotating hole and is connected to the bottom of the vacuum adsorption seat 30. The rotary drive unit 70 includes a horizontal motor and a reversing transmission mechanism 71. The horizontal motor extends outside the base plate, and the reversing transmission mechanism 71 is located between the base plate and the top plate 3-1. The rotating shaft is connected to the output end of the reversing transmission mechanism. The baffle drive unit 61 is mounted on the top plate 3-1 and located beside the vacuum adsorption seat 30. The baffle drive unit 61 is a lifting cylinder. A telescopic rod extends from the upper end of the lifting cylinder, and a connector 62 is connected to the upper end of the telescopic rod. The upper end of the connector 62 is connected to the annular baffle 63.

[0048] The translation drive unit is used to drive the translation seat 3 to translate, and the translation refers to displacement in a plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction.

[0049] The controller is connected to the position sensor, the vacuum suction seat, the rotation drive unit, the translation drive unit, and the baffle drive unit 61, respectively.

[0050] In this embodiment, the translation drive unit includes a Y-axis drive unit 40 and an X-axis drive unit 50; the Y-axis drive unit 40 is used to drive the vacuum adsorption seat 30 to move along the Y-axis; the X-axis drive unit 50 is used to drive the vacuum adsorption seat 30 to move along the X-axis.

For compact structural arrangement, the Y-axis drive unit 40 is mounted on the base 1, which has a Y-axis guide rail. A Y-axis movable seat 2 is fitted onto the Y-axis guide rail. The Y-axis drive unit 40 drives the Y-axis movable seat 2 to move relative to the base 1 along the Y-axis. The X-axis drive unit 50 is mounted on the Y-axis movable seat 2, which has an X-axis guide rail. An X-axis movable seat 3 (i.e., the translation seat) is fitted onto the X-axis guide rail. The X-axis drive unit 50 drives the X-axis movable seat 3 to move relative to the Y-axis movable seat 2 along the X-axis. The vacuum suction seat 30 is mounted on the X-axis movable seat 3. Specifically, the Y-axis drive unit 40 includes a first motor and a first lead screw. The Y-axis movable seat 2 is connected to a first sliding part with an internal threaded hole. The first sliding part is threadedly connected to the first lead screw, allowing the Y-axis movable seat 2 to move along the first lead screw under its drive. The X-axis drive unit 50 includes a second motor and a second lead screw. The X-axis moving seat 3 is connected to a second sliding part with an internal threaded hole. The second sliding part is threadedly connected to the second lead screw, so that the X-axis moving seat 3 is driven by the second lead screw and moves along the second lead screw.

[0051] In actual design and manufacturing, the sheet placement panel 10 can be provided with one or more sheet placement areas; in this embodiment, the sheet placement panel 10 is provided with two sheet placement areas arranged at intervals along the X-axis, which facilitates the placement of two cap pieces; correspondingly, two vacuum adsorption seats 30 are provided, and the base 1 is provided with two sets of Y-axis drive units 40 and X-axis drive units 50. The two sets of Y-axis drive units 40 are arranged side by side at intervals along the X-axis, and their respective first lead screws extend along the Y-axis and maintain a left-right distance; the two sets of X-axis drive units 50 are arranged facing each other along the X-axis, their respective second motors are arranged opposite each other along the X-axis, and their respective second lead screws are arranged facing each other close together along the X-axis.

[0052] The above-described correction component, which combines feeding positioning and correction range, is particularly suitable for correcting the deviation of softer sheets. It can be applied to sewing machines, i.e., a sewing machine that uses the correction component described above.

[0053] Next, taking an automatic hat patch embroidery machine as an example, this correction component, which takes into account both material feeding positioning and correction range, is applied to the automatic hat patch embroidery machine to correct and position the hat patch, ensuring accurate pulling during subsequent hat patch sewing and thus improving the sewing processing quality.

[0054] like Figure 8 As shown, specifically, the automatic eyelet embroidery machine for cap pieces includes:

[0055] The frame is provided with a first loading station 501, a second loading station 502, a first embroidery station 503, a second embroidery station 504, a transfer station 505, a stacking station 506 and a sewing station 507 arranged side by side from left to right.

[0056] The first automatic feeding mechanism 601 is used to automatically feed the cap piece to the first feeding station;

[0057] A first automatic flipping mechanism 602 is set corresponding to the first feeding station. The first automatic flipping mechanism is used to flip the cap piece from the first feeding station to the second feeding station.

[0058] The first embroidery eye device 603 is set up corresponding to the first embroidery eye station;

[0059] The second embroidery eye device 604 is set corresponding to the second embroidery eye station;

[0060] A second automatic flipping mechanism 605 is configured corresponding to the transfer station. This mechanism flips the cap piece after the eyelet is inserted from the transfer station to the stacking station. The stacking station 506 includes a first correction station 5061 and a second correction station 5062 arranged side-by-side. The second automatic flipping mechanism flips the cap piece after the eyelet is inserted from the transfer station to the first correction station. Both the first and second correction stations are equipped with a correction component, as described above, that balances material placement and correction range, to correct the two cap pieces at the first and second correction stations respectively. Then, an automatic mechanism moves the cap piece from the first correction station to the cap piece at the second correction station to achieve stacking.

[0061] Several material transfer robots 606 are connected between the first loading station, the second loading station, the first embroidery eye station, the second embroidery eye station, the transfer station and the stacking station to transfer cap pieces;

[0062] A sewing device 607 is equipped with a transfer pressure frame assembly for transferring and positioning cap pieces; the transfer pressure frame assembly is used to transfer the stacked cap pieces on the stacking station to the sewing station, and the sewing device is set up corresponding to the sewing station.

[0063] This automatic embroidery machine for cap pieces features a frame with a first feeding station, a second feeding station, a first embroidery station, a second embroidery station, a transfer station, and a stacking station arranged side-by-side from left to right. It also includes a first automatic feeding mechanism, a first automatic flipping mechanism, a first embroidery device, a second embroidery device, a second automatic flipping mechanism, and several material transfer robots. This allows for the automatic flipping of the reversed cap pieces to the front, ensuring that both cap pieces are embroidered with the front facing up. This facilitates better control and ensures consistent embroidery quality. Furthermore, the automatic flipping and stacking of the two embroidered cap pieces into a single unit results in excellent color consistency. Since there is little or no color difference between adjacent fabric pieces, using two pieces from the same unit on the same cap ensures better color uniformity, meeting higher quality requirements and improving processing yield. Furthermore, it achieves automatic flipping of the feed, automatic embroidery, automatic stacking of the pieces into a group, automatic feeding of the stacked pieces into a group to the sewing device for sewing, and automatic unloading after sewing. Its high degree of automation greatly reduces manual intervention, effectively improves processing efficiency and yield, and is suitable for widespread application.

[0064] The key design feature of this invention lies in the arrangement of a sensing unit, a vacuum adsorption seat, a rotary drive unit, a translation seat, a translation drive unit, an annular baffle, and a baffle drive unit. This arrangement ensures that, in the waiting state, the annular baffle is in an upward position, filling the annular gap between the vacuum adsorption surface and the clearance groove. This guarantees reliable positioning of the sheet upon arrival at the sheet placement area, preventing softer sheets from collapsing due to the annular gap. When the vacuum adsorption surface adheres to the bottom of the sheet, the annular baffle descends away from the annular gap and avoids the sheet placement panel, freeing up the annular gap. This allows the vacuum adsorption surface a sufficiently large translational correction space within the clearance groove, resulting in a sufficiently large translational stroke. Even sheets with large deviations can achieve automatic correction, further reducing the requirements for initial material feeding and effectively improving correction tolerance.

[0065] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
