[0003] However, when the robotic arm picks up garments from the production line, it adopts a single-repair operation mode, which requires sequentially going through positioning, gripping, moving, releasing and resetting. The operation process is time-consuming, resulting in low garment production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this application is to propose a garment production line mechanism that aims to improve the efficiency of garment production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes a garment unloading mechanism for removing garments from a packaging mechanism and conveying them to the outside. The packaging mechanism includes hooks for hanging garment hangers, and the garment unloading mechanism includes: A clothes rack component, wherein the clothes rack component is provided with an opening for the hook to pass through; A clothes hanger receiving piece is connected to the clothes rack assembly. The clothes hanger receiving piece is inclined and located below the clothes rack assembly to receive the clothes hangers taken out by the clothes rack assembly. A sliding rod, one end of which is connected to the clothes hanger receiving plate, is used to receive the clothes hangers on the clothes hanger receiving plate and transport them to the outside; A drive assembly is connected to the hanger receiving piece and is used to drive the hanger receiving piece to move. The hanger removal component can move with the hanger receiving piece to remove the hanger from the hook.

[0006] In some embodiments, the drive assembly is located on one side of the garment hanger piece, the hook is vertically positioned, and the garment picker piece is configured such that its movement trajectory is inclined relative to the horizontal plane.

[0021] This application discloses a garment unloading mechanism for removing garments from a packaging mechanism and conveying them to the outside. The packaging mechanism includes hooks 100 for hanging garment hangers. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1 to 3 The downstream production facilities for this garment include: Clothes rack component 212, wherein the clothes rack component 212 is provided with an opening 2121 for the hook 100 to pass through; A clothes hanger receiving piece 211 is connected to the clothes hanger taking piece 212. The clothes hanger receiving piece 211 is inclined and located below the clothes hanger taking piece 212, and is used to receive the clothes hanger taken out by the clothes hanger taking piece 212. A sliding rod 300, one end of which is connected to the clothes hanger receiving piece 211, is used to receive the clothes hangers on the clothes hanger receiving piece 211 and transport them to the outside; A drive assembly 400 is connected to the hanger receiving piece 211 and is used to drive the hanger receiving piece 211 to move. The hanger taking piece 212 can move with the hanger receiving piece 211 to take the hanger out of the hook 100.

[0022] In this embodiment, the garment is hung on a hanger and suspended from the hook 100. The main function of the hanger retrieval component 212 is to remove the hanger from the hook 100. In this embodiment, the hanger retrieval component 212 can be configured in several ways. In a preferred embodiment, the hanger retrieval component 212 has an opening 2121 through which the hook 100 passes. The opening 2121 matches the size of the hook 100. When the hanger retrieval component 212 approaches the hanger, the hook 100 can pass through the opening 2121, avoiding collision with the hanger retrieval component 212 and thus mitigating the risk of breakage of the hook 100 or the hanger retrieval component 212, or the garment falling from the hook 100.

[0023] The main function of the hanger receiving piece 211 is to catch hangers that have fallen from the hook 100 and transfer them to the subsequent sliding rod 300. In this embodiment, the hanger receiving piece 211 can be configured in several ways. In a preferred embodiment, the hanger receiving piece 211 is connected to the hanger-retrieving component 212 and is inclined, located below the hanger-retrieving component 212. This means that the hanger receiving piece 211 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, allowing the hanger to slide freely under gravity when suspended on it, eliminating the need for other driving devices and reducing equipment costs and energy consumption. Furthermore, the hanger receiving piece 211's location below the hanger-retrieving component 212 ensures timely and accurate catching of hangers, preventing garments from falling to the ground due to hanger malfunction, avoiding stains, and improving garment yield.

[0024] The sliding rod 300 connects with the garment hanger piece 211, and its main function is to transport the garments to the outside so that workers can take them down and put them into storage. In this embodiment, the material of the sliding rod 300 can be chosen in various ways. For example, it can be made of metal, such as aluminum alloy, etc., depending on actual needs, and this utility model does not impose any limitations here.

[0025] In this embodiment, the movement of the hanger plate 211 can be varied. For example, it can be moved by sliding to bring the hanger assembly 212 closer to and contact the hanger, applying force to the hanger to detach it from the hook 100 and drop it onto the hanger plate 211; or it can be moved by rotating to bring the hanger assembly 212 closer to and contact the hanger, applying force to the hanger to detach it from the hook 100 and drop it onto the hanger plate 211. Of course, the above are just examples, and the specific movement can be determined according to actual needs.

[0026] In this application embodiment, there are multiple options for the implementation of the drive component 400. For example, the drive component 400 can be implemented in the form of a cylinder drive, or in the form of a combination of a servo motor and a reducer, depending on the actual needs.

[0027] The garment unloading mechanism of this application embodiment includes a garment picker 212, a garment picker plate 211, a slide bar 300, and a drive assembly 400. The garment picker 212 is connected to the garment picker plate 211. The garment picker plate 211 can drive the garment picker 212 to move closer to the garment hanger until the garment picker 212 contacts the garment hanger and applies force to the garment hanger, causing the garment hanger to detach from the hanging and fall onto the garment picker plate 211 below the garment picker 212. The garment picker plate 211 is connected to the slide bar 300. The garment picker plate 211 is tilted so that the garment hanger automatically slides down under the action of gravity. The slide bar 300 can receive the sliding garment hanger and transport it to the external unloading line. This application uses the drive assembly 400 to drive the garment picker plate 211 and the garment picker 212 to automatically transfer the garment hanger from the hook 100 to the slide bar 300, eliminating the need for cumbersome operations such as positioning and clamping, realizing continuous conveying and improving efficiency. In addition, the garment hanger component 212 acts directly on the garment hanger, avoiding the risk of damage to the garment fabric due to direct contact between the mechanism and the garment, and improving the yield of finished garments.

[0028] In this application embodiment, there are several options for the arrangement of the drive component 400. In a preferred embodiment, the drive component 400 is located on one side of the clothes hanger piece 211, providing power for the movement of the clothes hanger piece 211 and the clothes pick-up hanger 212. At the same time, single-sided installation can avoid the movement path of the other side and avoid structural interference.

[0029] In this embodiment, the hook 100 is vertically positioned to directly bear the weight of the garment. The vertical orientation ensures that the center of gravity of the hanger coincides with the axis of the hook 100, preventing the garment from shifting or swaying.

[0030] In this embodiment, the clothes hanger 212 is configured such that its movement trajectory is inclined relative to the horizontal plane. When moving, in the horizontal direction, it pushes the clothes hanger out of the vertical hook 100, and in the vertical direction, it counteracts part of the weight of the clothing, thus preventing the clothes hanger from rubbing and getting stuck with the hook 100.

[0031] In this application embodiment, the configuration of the driving component 400 has several options. In a preferred embodiment, please refer to... Figure 3 The drive assembly 400 includes: a mounting plate 410, on one side of which a guide rail 420 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane; the drive assembly 400 includes a slide 430 connected to the guide rail 420, the front end of the slide 430 being connected to the clothes hanger piece 211, and the rear end of the slide 430 being connected to the drive component 440.

[0032] The main function of the mounting plate 410 is to fix components such as the guide rail 420 and the drive component 440. Its material can be metal, such as aluminum alloy, which has good strength, ensures that the mechanism will not be damaged during long-term operation, and extends its service life.

[0033] In this embodiment, the clothes hanger piece 211 is slidable. A guide rail 420 is provided on the mounting plate 410, serving as the guiding core for the sliding motion; a linear guide rail can be used. The guide rail 420 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 410 using bolts. The sliding block 430 serves as the sliding medium for the clothes hanger piece 211 on the guide rail 420 and is detachably connected to the clothes hanger piece 211 using bolts. The number of guide rails 420 can be varied, such as 2, 3, or 4. In this embodiment, two guide rails 420 are provided. Of course, the above is merely an example; the specific configuration can be determined according to actual needs, and this utility model does not impose any limitations.

[0034] In this application embodiment, the type of drive component 440 can be selected from several options. In a preferred embodiment, the drive component 440 is a cylinder. Cylinders can reduce the hardware cost of the mechanism, and their simple structure makes them easy to maintain. Cylinders also employ a sealed structure, which can withstand dust, lint, and other pollutants in the working environment, thus improving the stability of the mechanism.

[0035] The cylinder body is connected to one end of the mounting plate 410, and the piston rod is connected to the slide block 430. When the cylinder drives the piston rod to extend and retract, it can drive the slide block 430 to slide repeatedly on the guide rail 420, thereby causing the hanger receiving piece 211 to slide. The hanger picking piece 212 can then push the hanger to detach from the hook 100 and fall onto the hanger receiving piece 211, and finally connect it to the slide rod 300 for unloading, thus achieving automation and improving efficiency.

[0036] In this embodiment, an adapter plate 213 is provided at one end of the garment hanger piece 211 near the slide block 430, and the adapter plate 213 is connected to the slide block 430. Furthermore, the adapter plate 213 is provided with multiple oblong holes, and the adapter plate 213 is connected to the slide block 430 by bolts. When installing the garment hanger piece 211 and the slide block 430, fine adjustments can be made through the oblong holes to accommodate tolerances. In addition, when it is necessary to inspect the slide block 430 or replace parts, the bolts on the adapter plate 213 can be loosened, and the garment hanger piece 211 can be disassembled separately without disassembling the entire structure, thus shortening maintenance time.

[0037] In this embodiment, the slide bar 300 can be configured in several ways. In a preferred embodiment, the slide bar 300 is curved, with one end that connects to the hanger receiving piece 211 being higher than the other end. A hanger with clothing attached enters the high end of the slide bar 300 through the guide of the hanger receiving piece 211, and the hanger's hook fits against the surface of the slide bar 300. Due to the height difference of the slide bar 300 (higher at the high end, lower at the low end), the hanger and clothing slide downwards along the curved trajectory of the slide bar 300 under gravity (without the need for additional drive from a motor, cylinder, etc.), reducing cost and failure rate. Furthermore, the slide bar 300 is easy to assemble, and daily maintenance only requires wiping away dust, improving efficiency.

[0038] The garment unloading mechanism provided in this embodiment also has a detection function to ensure that the garment is successfully transferred to the slide bar 300 before the garment hanger piece 211 and the garment pick-up hanger piece 212 move to the hook 100 to pick up the new garment. Please refer to... Figure 4 The garment production line mechanism also includes a detection component 230, which is connected to the mounting plate 410.

[0039] When the garment is transferred from the hook 100 to the receiving hanger plate 211, the cylinder drives the receiving hanger plate 211 to slide close to and connect with the sliding rod 300. The garment is transferred to the sliding rod 300 and can be detected by the detection component 230. Subsequently, the cylinder can drive the receiving hanger plate 211 to reset and pick up new garments, which can eliminate invalid actions and improve conveying efficiency.

[0040] In this embodiment, the detection component 230 can employ non-contact detection by sensors or visual recognition, etc. The specific method can be determined according to actual needs.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The detection component 230 includes a support frame 231 and a detection element 232. One end of the support frame 231 is connected to the mounting plate 410, and the other end is located on one side of the slide bar 300. The detection element 232 is located at the end of the support frame 231 near the slide bar 300.

[0042] The support frame 231 serves as the supporting base for the detection component 230. It can be detachably connected to the mounting plate 410 using bolts, facilitating future maintenance and replacement. The support frame 231 can be made of metal, such as aluminum alloy.

[0043] In this embodiment, the detection component 230 further includes a trigger 233, which is located below the detection component 232 and is movably connected to the support frame 231. Since the detection component 232 and the trigger 233 are located on one side of the slide bar 300, when the hanger passes by, the hanger can drive the trigger 233 to move, thereby changing the output signal of the detection component 232.

[0044] In this embodiment, the detection element 232 can be of various types, such as a photoelectric switch or a proximity switch. In a preferred embodiment, the detection element 232 is a slot-type photoelectric switch. The slot of the photoelectric switch faces the trigger element 233, and the trigger element 233 can move relative to the detection element 232 to block the light path to achieve on / off switching of the light path.

[0045] In this application embodiment, there are multiple options for implementing the trigger 233. In a preferred embodiment, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4The trigger 233 includes: a first arm 2331, a second arm 2332 connected to the end of the first arm 2331 away from the detection element 232, and a corner portion 2333 formed at the connection between the first arm 2331 and the second arm 2332, the corner portion 2333 being rotatably connected to the support frame 231.

[0046] The end of the first arm 2331 is located in the slot of the photoelectric switch. Initially, the first arm 2331 always blocks the light path, indicating that no clothing has passed by. When the clothing is transferred from the transfer component 200 to the slide bar 300 for conveying, during the conveying process, the hanger can touch the second arm 2332 and apply a pushing force to the second arm 2332. As a result, the corner part 2333 can rotate relative to the support frame 231, thereby driving the first arm 2331 to rotate. The light path of the photoelectric switch is not blocked. At this time, the light path of the photoelectric switch is connected, and the photoelectric switch sends a signal indicating that the clothing has been successfully transferred.

[0047] In this embodiment, the corner portion 2333 can be rotatably connected to the support frame 231 via a pin.

[0048] In this embodiment, the drive assembly 400 is connected to a mounting bracket 240. The mounting bracket 240 can be connected to the ground or other support columns, and can fix the clothes rack component 212, the clothes receiving plate 211, the drive assembly 400, and the detection component in the air to ensure stable operation of the mechanism.

[0049] Furthermore, in order to improve the stable use of the slide bar 300, the slide bar 300 is connected to at least one fixed rod 310.

[0050] In this embodiment, the number of fixing rods 310 can be varied, such as 1, 2, 3, etc. In a preferred embodiment, three fixing rods 310 are spaced apart on the slide rod 300. This not only stabilizes the slide rod 300 in the air and improves the stability of garment conveying, but also prevents the middle of the slide rod 300 from sagging and deforming, thus preventing the hanger from sliding and getting stuck due to deformation of the slide rod 300.

[0051] The above are only some or preferred embodiments of this application. Neither the text nor the drawings should limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent structural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings under the overall concept of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of this application.
