Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sewing equipment technology, and relates to a folding knife device and a bag opening machine. Background Technology

[0002] A pocket-opening machine is a machine that uses a folding knife device to fold cut fabric before sewing it to form a pocket. The folding action is as follows: when the entire upper folding knife device moves above the fabric, the lifting cylinder drives the four folding knives in four directions to descend to the four sides of the fabric. Simultaneously, the four horizontal cylinders actuate, folding the fabric, which is then clamped and sewn. For a detailed explanation of the working principle of the pocket-opening machine and folding knife device, please refer to the patent document with application number 202122873800.2, which describes a garment pocket-opening machine.

[0003] When the length and width of the pocket change, the distance between the folding blades in the folding device needs to be adjusted, requiring a manual mold change operation: The debugging personnel first move the folding device into the rectangular groove that forms the pocket, then loosen the fixing bolts of the horizontal cylinder seat on the folding device, then pull the left folding blade module to align the folding blade with the four sides, fix the horizontal cylinder seat, and reset the folding device to complete one mold change operation on the folding device.

[0004] In existing folding knife devices, multiple steps are required to adjust the distance between the folding knives during a single mold-changing operation, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model addresses the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a folding knife device. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to conveniently adjust the size of the pocket.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A folding knife device includes a base, on which a first connecting block and a second connecting block are disposed. A left folding knife module and a right folding knife module are respectively mounted on the first connecting block and the second connecting block. The device is characterized in that the first connecting block is movably connected to the base, and the base is further provided with a first driving mechanism for driving the first connecting block to move left and right; or / and the second connecting block is movably connected to the base, and the base is further provided with a second driving mechanism for driving the second connecting block to move left and right.

[0008] In this folding knife device, the left folding knife module is mounted on connecting block one, and the right folding knife module is mounted on connecting block two. When it is necessary to adjust the size of the pocket in the length direction, the drive mechanism one drives the connecting block one to move left and right, thereby adjusting the distance between the left folding knife module and the right folding knife module, so as to conveniently adjust the size of the pocket.

[0009] In another embodiment, the connecting block 2 is driven by the driving mechanism 2 to move left and right, thereby adjusting the distance between the left folding knife module and the right folding knife module to adjust the size of the pocket.

[0010] In another embodiment, while drive mechanism one drives connecting block one to move left and right, drive mechanism two drives connecting block two to move left and right, thereby adjusting the distance between the left folding knife module and the right folding knife module to adjust the size of the pocket. At this time, the two drive mechanisms can be controlled electronically to move synchronously, so that the left folding knife module and the right folding knife module move inward or outward at the same time, so that the size of the pocket in the length direction can be automatically adjusted symmetrically.

[0011] This folding knife device can automatically adjust the distance between the left and right folding knife modules by driving the connecting block 1 to move left and right through the first driving mechanism, or driving the connecting block 2 to move left and right through the second driving mechanism, or driving the connecting block 1 to move left and right through the first driving mechanism while simultaneously driving the connecting block 2 to move left and right through the second driving mechanism.

[0021] In the aforementioned folding knife device, a guide rail is provided on the base, and a slider is installed at the bottom of the connecting block, with the slider slidably connected to the guide rail.

[0022] The guide rail and the slider form a guiding structure, which greatly improves the stability of the connecting block when it moves.

[0023] In the aforementioned folding knife device, a second slider is mounted on the fixed plate, and the second slider is slidably connected to a first guide rail.

[0024] The guide rail and slider 2 together form a guiding structure, which greatly improves the stability of the fixed plate when it moves.

[0025] In the aforementioned folding knife device, a cylinder is mounted on the connecting block 2. The piston rod of the cylinder 1 extends laterally and a fixing plate is mounted on the piston rod. A cylinder 2 is mounted on the fixing plate. The piston rod of the cylinder 2 extends vertically, and the right folding knife module is mounted on the piston rod of the cylinder 2.

[0026] When folding the fabric, cylinder one drives the fixed plate to move left and right, the fixed plate drives the right folding knife module to move left and right, and cylinder two drives the right folding knife module to move up and down.
