Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding technology, and in particular to a high-quality folding mechanism and a dispensing folding machine using the same. Background Technology
[0002] In the current garment sewing process, hemming is a common procedure. Traditional sewing machines with flat fabric feeding structures can only achieve a single fabric feeding function. When hemming, it is usually done in two steps: first, the fabric to be hemmed is folded and sewn with a hidden line, then another piece of fabric is pressed on and a visible line is sewn again. However, this process is more complicated, and manual joining can easily result in misalignment of the two pieces of fabric, affecting the appearance.
[0003] However, for hemming and bonding in areas such as the neckline, cuffs, and hem, these areas have extremely high requirements for both garment comfort and aesthetics, posing significant challenges for both hemming and heat-press bonding. Therefore, how to improve the reliability and efficiency of seamless hemming and bonding processes using automated equipment for softer fabrics has become a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed in this field. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a special folding device to ensure that the fabric is automatically folded while being conveyed forward. It also provides a dispensing folding machine that uses this folding device, allowing the fabric after dispensing to randomly enter the folding device for precise folding. This solves the problems of low automation and low efficiency of seamless folding and bonding processes for softer fabrics.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A high-quality folding mechanism includes a worktable and an folding device mounted on the worktable via a mounting plate. The folding device includes a folding plate body and a folding forming portion extending outward from the folding plate body. The folding forming portion gradually rolls inward along the fabric transport direction to form a folding channel. After the fabric passes through the folding channel and is guided by the folding guide, it gradually rolls inward to form two folds.
[0006] Preferably, the folded plate body and the folded forming part are integrally formed.
[0007] Preferably, the feed end of the folding device is horizontal, and the cross-sectional shape of the discharge end is e-shaped.
[0008] Preferably, the width of the folded edge plate body is not less than the required adhesive width of the fabric.
[0009] Preferably, the width of the hem forming part is no more than a multiple of the required single hem width of the fabric.
[0010] Preferably, a horizontal guide is provided inside the folding forming part between the folding channels.
[0011] A dispensing and folding machine employs the aforementioned high-quality folding mechanism, comprising a conveying mechanism and a dispensing machine positioned above the conveying mechanism and near the feed end of the folding machine.
[0012] Preferably, the folded edge forming portion conforms to the side edge of the conveying mechanism.
[0013] Preferably, a cleaning mechanism is also included, which is movable on one side of the dispensing machine so that when the dispensing machine stops working, it can move to the bottom of the dispensing machine to clean the dispensing head.
[0014] As another preferred embodiment, the cleaning mechanism includes a mounting plate that reciprocates under the drive of a pusher unit and a cleaning component that can rotate on the mounting plate. The cleaning component extends under the rubber head to clean in an oblique rotating wiping manner.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model uses a folding device to ensure that the fabric is automatically folded while being conveyed forward. The device is designed with a smooth transition shape from the feeding end to the output end, which is horizontal, arc-shaped and rolled. This allows for two automatic folds on the sides of the fabric, so that the edges of the cut pieces are folded in the middle. This avoids friction between the edges of the cut pieces and the skin, and also increases the aesthetics. The fabric folding accuracy and surface flatness are high.
[0016] 2. This utility model features a cleaning mechanism that is horizontally movable to adapt to the working rhythm of the dispensing machine. When the dispensing machine stops working and resets, the mechanism moves horizontally to below the dispensing head and activates the cleaning component to automatically clean the dispensing head using an oblique rotating wiping method, resulting in good cleaning effect.
[0017] In summary, this utility model has the advantages of simple structure and good edge folding effect. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0021] Example 1 like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a high-quality folding mechanism, including a workbench 2 and a folding device 1 mounted on the workbench 2 via a mounting plate 21. The folding device 1 includes a folding plate body 11 and a folding forming part 12 extending outward from the folding plate body 11. The folding forming part 12 gradually rolls inward along the fabric transport direction to form a folding channel 10. After the fabric passes through the folding guide of the folding channel 10, it gradually rolls inward to form two folds.
[0022] In this application, by setting up an edge folding device 1, the automatic edge folding is simultaneously achieved during the forward conveying of the fabric. The device is designed with a special shape that is horizontal-arc-curved from the feed end to the discharge end, which achieves two automatic edge folds on the side of the fabric. This makes the edge of the cut piece folded inside the middle, which avoids friction between the edge of the cut piece and the skin, and increases the aesthetics. The fabric edge folding accuracy and surface flatness are high.
[0023] Furthermore, the folded plate body 11 and the folded forming part 12 are integrally formed.
[0024] Furthermore, the feed end 101 of the folding device 1 is horizontal, and the cross-sectional shape of the discharge end 102 is e-shaped.
[0025] In this embodiment, the outlet end of the folding channel 10 is e-shaped, consisting of the folding forming part 12 rolled inward and the folding plate body 11. At the same time, the width of the folding forming part 12 after being rolled inward is not greater than the width of the folding plate body 11, ensuring the initial bonding quality of the fabric after folding and forming, and realizing the pre-forming of the fabric.
[0026] The feed end 102 of the folding device 1 is horizontal, and the cross-sectional shape of the discharge end 102 is e-shaped. The folding device 1 is an integral structure, and the smooth transition shape from the feed end to the discharge end is horizontal-arc-curled, so as to realize that the fabric is automatically folded twice under the automatic traction of the conveying mechanism 4 and the guidance of the folding channel 10, and is then conveyed backward after being shaped.
[0027] Furthermore, the width of the folded edge plate body 11 is not less than the required adhesive width of the fabric.
[0028] The width of the folding plate body is not less than the required adhesive width of the fabric, and it supports and guides the area of the fabric to be coated with adhesive, so as to ensure the consistency of adhesive quality in the area of the fabric to be coated with adhesive.
[0029] Specifically, the width of the folded edge plate body 11 can be set to be equal to or slightly larger than the required glue application width. The glue dispensing machine is set on the same side as the folder 1, and its dispensing head can be selected to be set in the middle of the width direction of the required glue application area to ensure uniformity and consistency of glue application and prevent glue from being applied outside the folded edge area.
[0030] Furthermore, the width of the hem forming part 12 is no more than twice the width of a single hem required for the fabric.
[0031] Furthermore, the width of the hemming forming section is no more than twice the required single hemming width of the fabric. Specifically, the edge of the fabric to be hemmed is aligned with or slightly inside the outer edge of the hemming forming section, so that the edge of the fabric piece is folded inward after being hemmed by the hemming channel 10, thus improving the quality and aesthetics of the hemmed fabric. Of course, by adjusting the size and shape of the outlet end of the hemming channel 10, the edge of the fabric to be hemmed can also be slightly outside the outer edge of the hemming forming section, so that the edge of the fabric piece is folded in the middle.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, a horizontal guide 3 is provided inside the folding forming part 12 between the folding channels 10.
[0033] In some embodiments, the interior of the hemming device 1 may also be provided with a horizontal guide 3, which is adapted to the hemming channel 10 and can be set near the feed end of the hemming channel 10 to support the fabric in the inward rolling state and prevent the fabric from drooping before it is formed due to being too soft.
[0034] Example 2 like Figure 3-6 As shown, components that are the same as or corresponding to those in Embodiment 1 are referred to using the same reference numerals as in Embodiment 1. For simplicity, only the differences from Embodiment 1 are described below. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is as follows: A dispensing and folding machine employs a high-quality folding mechanism as described in Embodiment 1, comprising a conveying mechanism 4 and a dispensing machine 5 located above the conveying mechanism 4 and near the feed end of the folding machine 1.
[0035] It should be noted that the conveying mechanism 4 adopts a belt conveyor, which achieves the traction and conveying of the fabric through negative pressure adsorption. Specifically, the conveying mechanism includes a belt conveyor, a sealed chamber located inside the belt conveyor, and a negative pressure generator communicating with the inside of the sealed chamber. The upper plate of the sealed chamber has a through hole a, and the belt of the belt conveyor has through holes b evenly distributed. When the negative pressure generator is activated, the negative pressure acts through the through holes a and through holes b to adsorb and position the lower surface of the fabric.
[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the folded edge forming part 12 is attached to the side edge of the conveying mechanism 4.
[0037] Furthermore, the folding channel 10 is made to fit the side edge of the conveying mechanism 4, ensuring that the folded fabric can fall onto the conveying mechanism 4 at least, so that it can be output stably.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 5-6 As shown, it also includes a cleaning mechanism 6, which is movably disposed on one side of the dispensing machine 5 so that when the dispensing machine 5 stops working, it can move to the bottom of the dispensing machine 5 to clean the dispensing head 50 of the dispensing machine 5.
[0039] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 6 includes a mounting plate 62 that reciprocates under the drive of the push unit 61 and a cleaning component 63 that is rotatable and mounted on the mounting plate 62. The cleaning component 63 extends below the rubber head 50 and performs cleaning by wiping in an oblique rotation manner.
[0040] In this application, a cleaning mechanism is set up and is configured to move horizontally to adapt to the working rhythm of the dispensing machine. When the dispensing machine stops working and resets, it is controlled to move horizontally to below the dispensing head, and the cleaning component 63 is activated to automatically clean the dispensing head in an oblique rotating wiping manner, which has a good cleaning effect. It can also ensure that the lint-free cloth is clean each time it is cleaned and can be automatically replaced after wiping to ensure a good cleaning effect. At the same time, the oblique contact setting can almost completely cover the dispensing head through the tension of the lint-free cloth, which improves the cleaning effect.
[0041] Furthermore, the front end of the cleaning component 63 extends beyond the adhesive head 50 to ensure that the adhesive head 50 is in almost complete contact with the cleaning component 63, thus guaranteeing the cleaning effect.
[0042] The mounting plate 62 is provided with several guide shafts 64 and two sets of air expansion shafts. One set is used to install the cleaning component tray, and the other set is used to install the recycling tray. The air expansion shaft for installing the recycling tray is driven to rotate by a motor. The cleaning component 63 is preferably a dust-free cloth, which is output from the tray and guided by several guide shafts 64 to maintain a certain tension between the tray and the recycling tray.
[0043] This invention does not limit the structure of the dispensing machine 5; any type of equipment capable of uniformly applying adhesive to fabric is acceptable. This type of equipment is particularly common in the garment industry, especially in seamless (thread) bonding processes. Its specific structure and function will not be elaborated upon in this application.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
