Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mattress processing technology, and in particular to an automatic alignment and feeding worktable for a mattress quilting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the mattress manufacturing industry, quilting machines are indispensable and crucial equipment, playing a key role in improving the quality and aesthetics of mattresses. Currently, the support frame used to load fabric on the quilting machine's loading table is a standard structural design. However, in actual production operations, due to differences in worker techniques and skill levels from previous steps, the support frame is prone to misalignment when placed on the loading table.

[0003] This misalignment of the support frame can have serious negative consequences. Quilting machines require accurate and stable fabric feeding; when the support frame enters the machine misaligned, jamming occurs frequently. Firstly, this disrupts the continuous and smooth workflow of the quilting machine, significantly reducing production efficiency. For example, a normally continuously running production line may have to be interrupted due to frequent jams, requiring workers to spend extra time adjusting the support frame position, severely impacting the overall production rhythm. Secondly, jamming can also damage the fabric, causing wrinkles, tears, and other problems, ultimately affecting the quality of the final mattress product.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, while some improvements have been implemented on the market, most merely involve stricter operational requirements for workers or minor modifications to the support frame structure itself. These measures fail to fundamentally resolve the problem of support frame misalignment causing jamming during quilting. In existing quilting machines, the support frame on the feeding table, due to worker operation in the previous step, is prone to misalignment, sometimes resulting in jamming as the support frame enters the quilting machine. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mattress quilting machine that automatically aligns with the feeding table. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic alignment feeding table for a mattress quilting machine, which solves the technical problem that the support frame entering the quilting machine is prone to jamming due to positional misalignment.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted by this utility model include: This utility model embodiment provides an automatic alignment and feeding worktable for a mattress quilting machine.

[0007] This utility model provides an automatic alignment and feeding worktable for a mattress quilting machine, comprising: Quilting assembly for quilting fabric on a support frame that holds fabric; The feeding platform is connected to the quilting assembly and is used to feed the support frame to the quilting assembly. An alignment component, located on the loading platform, is used to position the support frame in the middle of the loading platform so that it can enter the quilting assembly when the support frame moves toward the quilting assembly.

[0008] Optionally, the alignment component includes: The horizontal pushing mechanism is set relatively parallel to both sides of the loading platform; The drive mechanism, connected to the sliding mechanism, is used to control the movement of the two sliding mechanisms toward or away from the loading platform.

[0009] Optionally, the pushing mechanism includes: The flat push frame is set relatively parallel to both sides of the loading platform, and the flat push frame is parallel to the loading platform; The rollers are rotatably mounted on the push frame and are used to make rolling contact with the support frame.

[0010] Optionally, the pushing mechanism also includes: The support component is slidably mounted on the loading platform and connected to the drive mechanism; The lifting component is located between the support component and the horizontal push frame.

[0011] Optionally, the drive mechanism includes: Drive disk; The connecting rod is symmetrically rotated and installed between the drive disc and the flat push mechanism.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The automatic alignment and feeding worktable of the mattress quilting machine of this utility model includes a quilting component, an alignment component, a feeding platform, and a support frame. The feeding platform transports the support frame carrying the fabric to the working area of ​​the quilting component, ensuring the smooth movement of the support frame. The alignment component is located on the feeding platform. When the support frame moves along the feeding platform towards the quilting component, the alignment component begins to function. By moving towards the feeding platform, the alignment component adjusts the alignment of the support frame relative to the quilting component, ensuring that the support frame is in a standard, non-offset, ideal position when entering the quilting component, thus effectively preventing jamming when the support frame enters the quilting component.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, a detailed description of its specific embodiments is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this document, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" are used interchangeably with... Figure 1 The orientation is used as a reference.

[0020] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention can be understood more clearly and thoroughly, and that the scope of the present invention can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of this application, an automatic alignment and feeding workbench for a mattress quilting machine is proposed, comprising: a quilting assembly 100 for quilting the fabric on a support frame 500 loaded with fabric; a feeding platform 300 connected to the quilting assembly 100 for conveying the support frame 500 to the quilting assembly 100; and an alignment assembly 200 disposed on the feeding platform 300 for positioning the support frame 500 in the middle of the feeding platform 300 so that it can enter the quilting assembly 100 when the support frame 500 moves toward the quilting assembly 100.

[0022] The automatic alignment and feeding worktable of the mattress quilting machine includes a quilting component 100, an alignment component 200, a feeding platform 300, and a support frame 500. The quilting component 100 is the main execution unit of the mattress quilting process. Once the support frame 500, loaded with fabric, is conveyed to the quilting component 100, the quilting component 100 will precisely quilt the fabric placed on the support frame 500 according to a preset program and process requirements. Through the orderly arrangement of stitches, multiple layers of fabric and filling are sewn together, giving the mattress a specific aesthetic pattern and good structural stability, thereby meeting the quality and appearance requirements of the mattress product. The quilting component 100 is connected to the feeding platform 300, enabling stable power transmission between the two. This allows the two key processes of feeding and quilting to coordinate smoothly, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of mattress quilting production.

[0023] The feeding platform 300 transports the fabric-bearing support frame 500 to the working area of ​​the quilting assembly 100. For example, the feeding platform 300 relies on a conveyor belt, ensuring the smooth movement of the support frame 500. An alignment component 200 is mounted on the feeding platform 300. As the support frame 500 moves along the feeding platform 300 towards the quilting assembly 100, the alignment component 200 activates. By moving towards the feeding platform 300, the alignment of the support frame 500 relative to the quilting assembly 100 is adjusted, ensuring that the support frame 500 is in a standard, non-offset, ideal position when entering the quilting assembly 100, effectively preventing jamming when the support frame 500 enters the quilting assembly 100. This not only improves the smoothness of the feeding process and ensures the smoothness of mattress quilting production, but also enhances the stability and reliability of the entire production process.

[0024] In summary, the automatic alignment and feeding workbench of this mattress quilting machine, through the organic combination and coordinated operation of the quilting component 100, the feeding platform 300 and the alignment component 200, achieves automatic alignment and feeding of the support frame 500 and efficient quilting process, effectively overcoming the problems of feeding jamming in the existing technology, and significantly improving the quality and efficiency of mattress quilting production.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some instances, the alignment component 200 includes: a pushing mechanism 210, which is arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the loading platform 300; a driving mechanism 220, which is connected to the pushing mechanism 210 and is used to control the two pushing mechanisms 210 to move towards or away from the loading platform 300; and a detection unit 230, which is disposed on the pushing mechanism 210. When the support frame 500 is between the two pushing mechanisms 210, the driving mechanism 220 is controlled by the detection unit 230 to move the pushing mechanism 210 to the loading platform 300 and contact the support frame 500.

[0026] In this technical solution, the parallel pushing mechanisms 210 are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the loading platform 300, allowing force to be applied to the support frame 500 from both sides. This parallel arrangement on both sides ensures that the applied force is balanced and stable when adjusting the position of the support frame 500, effectively avoiding tilting or swaying of the support frame that might occur due to unilateral force application, thus guaranteeing the stability and accuracy of the support frame during movement. The parallel pushing mechanisms 210 directly contact and push the support frame 500. In this embodiment, the detection unit 230 can be specifically configured as a position sensor, mainly used to detect the position of the support frame 500 relative to the parallel pushing mechanisms 210. When the detection unit 230 detects that the support frame 500 has just entered between the two parallel pushing mechanisms 210, the two mechanisms move synchronously towards each other, causing the support frame 500 to eventually move to the middle position of the loading platform 300, thereby achieving precise position calibration.

[0027] The drive mechanism 220 is connected to the flat-push mechanism 210 and is responsible for controlling the movement of the two flat-push mechanisms 210. By driving the flat-push mechanisms 210, the position of the support frame 500 is indirectly adjusted. The drive mechanism 220 has the ability to precisely control the flat-push mechanisms 210 to move closer to or further away from the loading platform 300.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the flat-push mechanism 210 includes: a flat-push frame 211, which is arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the loading platform 300 and is parallel to the loading platform 300; a roller 212, which is rotatably mounted on the flat-push frame 211 and is used to roll in contact with the support frame 500; a support member 213, which is slidably mounted on the loading platform 300 and connected to the drive mechanism 220; and a lifting member 214, which is disposed between the support member 213 and the flat-push frame 211.

[0029] In this technical solution, the horizontal pushing frame 211 is arranged parallel to both sides of the loading platform 300 and remains parallel to the loading platform 300. It can simultaneously apply a horizontal pushing action from both sides of the support frame 500, precisely controlling the horizontal movement of the support frame 500 and ensuring the balance and symmetry of the pushing action.

[0030] The roller 212 is rotatably mounted on the flat push frame 211. When the flat push frame 211 pushes the support frame 500, the roller 212 rolls in contact with the support frame 500. The support frame 500 moves on the loading platform 300. The roller 212 rolls in contact with the support frame 500, so it does not obstruct the movement speed of the support frame 500.

[0031] The support member 213 is slidably installed on the feeding platform 300 and can move in the corresponding track or groove according to the working requirements of the flat pushing mechanism 210. It plays the role of supporting the flat pushing mechanism 210 and providing sliding guidance for it. The support member 213 is connected to the drive mechanism 220. The drive mechanism 220 can transmit the driving force to the support member 213, thereby driving the entire flat pushing mechanism 210 to move.

[0032] The lifting component 214 is located between the support component 213 and the flat push frame 211. The lifting component 214 can adjust its height according to the actual working conditions, thereby changing the position of the flat push frame 211 relative to the support component 213.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the drive mechanism 220 includes: a drive disk 221; and a connecting rod 222, which is symmetrically rotatably mounted between the drive disk 221 and the push mechanism 210.

[0034] In this technical solution, when the drive disk 221 begins to rotate, the connecting rod 222 changes its angle and position as the drive disk 221 rotates. This rotational change converts the circular motion of the drive disk 221 into the linear reciprocating motion (moving towards or away from the loading platform 300) of the flat-push mechanism 210. During this process, the symmetrically distributed connecting rods 222 on both sides can precisely control the synchronous action of the flat-push mechanism 210. When the drive disk 221 rotates to a preset position, the connecting rod 222, according to its relative position to the drive disk 221, pushes or pulls the flat-push mechanism 210 connected to it, so that the flat-push mechanisms 210 on both sides can move simultaneously towards or away from the loading platform 300, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the position of the support frame 500.

[0035] In summary, the drive disc 221 and the connecting rod 222 cooperate with each other. The drive disc 221, as the core of power reception and output, transmits rotational power precisely and evenly to the flat pushing mechanism 210 through the symmetrical rotational connection of the connecting rod 222. This enables the flat pushing mechanism 210 to move closer to or further away from the loading platform 300, ensuring that the support frame 500 can be accurately and smoothly adjusted to the center position of the loading platform 300. This effectively guarantees the normal operation of the automatic alignment function during the mattress quilting machine's loading process. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the drive disc 221 is driven to rotate by a servo motor, which is controlled by P. When the position sensor detects that the support frame 500 has entered between the two push frames 211, the LC controller sends a signal to the PLC controller, causing the PLC controller to start the servo motor. Of course, this control technology has become a mature existing technology. Since it is not the focus of the technical solution claimed in this application, it will not be described in detail. In addition, the distance that the two push frames 211 move synchronously toward each other needs to be adapted according to the width of the support frame 500. That is, when the two push frames 211 move toward each other to the limit position, the distance between the two push frames 211 is exactly the same as the width of the support frame 500.

[0036] For example, the end of the feeding platform 300 near the quilting assembly 100 is a conical conveying area 400. The support frame 500, after being pushed by the alignment component 200, is in the middle position of the feeding platform 300. At this time, as the feeding platform 300 continues to move towards the quilting assembly 100, the support frame 500 can stably enter the conical conveying area 400 and continue to move towards the quilting assembly 100. For example, the conical conveying area 400 is aligned with the clamping moving track 130 to ensure that the support frame 500 can stably enter the clamping moving track 130.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some examples, the quilting assembly 100 includes: a quilting worktable 110, which is connected to the feeding platform 300; quilting needles 120, which are disposed above the quilting worktable 110 for quilting the fabric on the quilting worktable 110; and clamping moving tracks 130, which are disposed at both ends of the quilting worktable 110 for receiving the support frame 500 conveyed by the moving feeding platform 300.

[0038] In this technical solution, the quilting worktable 110 provides a stable working surface for the fabric and support frame 500, ensuring that the fabric and support frame 500 maintain a relatively stable position during the quilting process. This facilitates precise quilting operations by the quilting needle 120, guaranteeing quilting quality and accuracy. The main function of the clamping moving track 130 is to receive the support frame 500 conveyed by the automatic alignment and feeding worktable and provide a smooth moving path for the support frame 500. This allows the support frame 500 to move smoothly on the quilting worktable under the guidance of the track. Simultaneously, the track is equipped with corresponding clamping devices that can properly fix the support frame 500 during the quilting process, preventing it from shifting position when subjected to impacts from the quilting needle or other external forces, thus ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the quilting.
