Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of garment processing technology, specifically to a feeding and sewing device for fabric pieces. Background Technology

[0002] The folding process refers to the automatic folding and ironing of fabric pieces in garment production, typically performed by a folding machine. During operation, the edges of the fabric pieces are guided into the forming mold inside the folding machine and precisely folded according to preset specifications. Simultaneously, heat pressing or steam ironing smooths and shapes the folded edges. This process is suitable for lightweight, easily wrinkled fabrics and effectively improves the appearance quality of the finished garment and the precision of subsequent button sewing.

[0003] However, in the garment manufacturing process, since the existing folding process and sewing process are usually carried out independently, the multiple pieces of fabric that have been folded are usually stacked at the output port of the folding machine. When sewing, the stacked pieces of fabric need to be placed one by one on the sewing machine by hand, which is costly and has low production efficiency.

[0004] It should be noted that the information in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this application, and therefore may include technical information that does not constitute technical information known or easily inferred by a person skilled in the art.

[0019] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] The inventors discovered through analysis of existing technologies that the existing folding and sewing processes can be performed simultaneously. When the folding machine's output table finishes folding a piece of fabric, a separate transfer mechanism can directly transfer the single piece of fabric to the sewing machine for sewing, achieving a continuous and seamless production process. The fabric pieces will not pile up on the folding machine's output table, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 This application illustrates a fabric feeding and sewing device according to an embodiment of the present application. The device is used to transfer fabric pieces that have been folded at the output table 4 of a folding machine. The device includes: a control component, a machine base 1, a transfer mechanism 2, and a sewing machine 3. The sewing machine 3 is disposed on one side of the machine base 1; the other side of the machine base 1 is disposed opposite to the discharge table 4 and forms a platform structure; the transfer mechanism 2 is disposed on the side of the platform structure; the machine base 1 is provided with a limiting stop bar 11; the control component is electrically connected to the transfer mechanism 2. When feeding, the control component sends a control signal to the transfer mechanism 2, which transfers the fabric piece from the output table 4 to the machine table 1, and abuts the folded edge of the fabric piece against the limiting stop 11, and moves the fabric piece along the limiting stop 11 to the sewing machine 3 for sewing.

[0022] In the embodiments of this application, existing folding and sewing processes typically require manual placement of stacked fabric pieces one by one onto the sewing machine 3, which is costly and inefficient. This application provides a solution that directly transfers single fabric pieces from the feed table 4 of the folding machine to the sewing machine 3 for sewing. Specifically, it includes: a control component, a machine base 1, a transfer mechanism 2, and a sewing machine 3; the sewing machine 3 is located on one side of the machine base 1; the other side of the machine base 1 is correspondingly arranged and formed with the feed table 4. A platform structure is formed; the transfer mechanism 2 is disposed on the side of the platform structure; the machine base 1 is provided with a limiting stop 11; the control component is electrically connected to the transfer mechanism 2; when feeding, the control component sends a control signal to the transfer mechanism 2, the transfer mechanism 2 transfers the fabric piece from the output table 4 to the machine base 1, and abuts the folded edge of the fabric piece against the limiting stop 11, and moves the fabric piece along the limiting stop 11 to the sewing machine 3 for sewing. This application realizes a continuous and seamless production process of folding and sewing processes through the platform structure formed by the machine base 1 and the output table 4 and the transfer mechanism 2, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0023] The following will further describe a fabric feeding and sewing device for a garment piece in this exemplary embodiment.

[0024] It should be noted that the control component can be a PLC programmable controller. The machine platform 1 and the output platform 4 can be set to the same height relative to the ground to form a continuous planar platform structure. The limiting stop 11 can position the fabric piece, allowing the sewing machine 3 to sew at the target position. The sewing machine 3 can be equipped with rollers 31 for moving the fabric piece during sewing.

[0025] Since the positions of the fabric pieces on the feeding platform 4 are usually fixed and uniform, the alignment between the feeding mechanism 2 and the fabric pieces can be achieved simply by setting a constant target position for the transfer mechanism 2 in the control component. No manual feeding is required, thus achieving full automation of folding and sewing.

[0026] Reference Figure 2-3 In one embodiment of this application, the machine base 1 is provided with a suction box 12; the suction box 12 is disposed at one end of the limiting baffle 11 near the sewing machine 3; the suction box 12 is provided with a plurality of suction ports 121 facing the transfer mechanism 2 on the side near the machine base 1; When feeding, the suction box 12 absorbs the folded edge of the fabric piece through the suction port 121.

[0027] It should be noted that when feeding and sewing, the suction port 121 can stably attract the folded edge of the fabric piece, so that the distance between the stitch line of the sewing machine 3 on the fabric piece and the folded edge of the fabric piece remains constant, thereby ensuring consistent stitch depth.

[0028] As an example, several of the suction ports 121 can be arranged at linear intervals along the length of the limiting strip 11 and positioned near the edge of the suction box 12 close to the machine base 1 to maximize the effective adsorption length of the fabric cut edge.

[0029] In one specific embodiment of this application, a photoelectric sensor 13 is provided on the side of the machine base 1 near the air suction box 12, and the emission port of the photoelectric sensor 13 is correspondingly arranged with the air suction port 121.

[0030] It should be noted that the photoelectric sensor 13 can sense and locate the fabric piece to ensure that the fabric piece accurately reaches the target position for sewing.

[0031] In one embodiment of this application, the suction box 12 is provided with a pressure plate 14 on the side close to the sewing machine 3; When feeding, the pressing plate 14 limits the thickness direction of the fabric piece.

[0032] It should be noted that the pressure plate 14 can prevent the fabric pieces from undergoing uncontrolled vertical displacement during sewing.

[0033] In one embodiment of this application, the machine base 1 is provided with a blower pipe 15; the pressing plate 14 is provided correspondingly to the blower pipe 15; the pressing plate 14 is provided with a vent 141 corresponding to the air outlet of the blower pipe 15.

[0034] It should be noted that when feeding, the air blower 15 blows air onto the fabric piece through the ventilation port 141, which can keep the folded edge of the fabric piece flat and make the fabric piece fit against the machine base 1.

[0035] In one specific implementation, the air outlet of the blower 15 is inclined toward the air inlet 121; when blowing air, the folded edge of the fabric piece can be further fitted to the air inlet box 12.

[0036] In one specific implementation, the blower pipe 15 and the pressure plate 14 are both installed above the suction box 12, and the suction port 121, the blower pipe 15 and the pressure plate 14 together limit the position of the fabric piece.

When feeding, the pressing member 23 presses against the fabric piece on the discharge table 4. The control component sends a control signal to the guide rail 21 and the telescopic slide 22. The guide rail 21 drives the telescopic slide 22 to move the fabric piece to the machine table 1. The telescopic slide 22 extends and retracts so that the folded edge of the fabric piece abuts against the limiting stop strip 11.

[0038] It should be noted that the transfer mechanism 2 completes the pressing, transfer and alignment of the fabric pieces through the guide rail 21, the telescopic slide 22 and the pressing component 23, ensuring the accuracy of the sewing stitches.

[0039] In one embodiment of this application, the telescopic slide 22 includes a first base plate 221, a second base plate 222, and a telescopic member 223; The first substrate 221 is movably disposed on the guide rail 21 along the length direction of the guide rail 21; the telescopic member 223 is disposed on the first substrate 221; the second substrate 222 is fixedly connected to the pressing member 23 and the movable part of the telescopic member 223; the control component is electrically connected to the telescopic member 223. When feeding, the control component sends a control signal to the telescopic member 223, and the telescopic member 223 drives the second base plate 222 and the pressing member 23 to extend and retract, so that the folded edge of the fabric piece abuts against the limiting stop strip 11.

[0040] It should be noted that the first substrate 221 and the second substrate 222 may be perpendicular to each other. The movable part of the telescopic member 223 is mounted on the second substrate 222, and the fixed part of the telescopic member 223 is mounted on the first substrate 221. The fixed part of the telescopic member 223 may include a motor and a lead screw connected to its output end.

[0042] It should be noted that the fixed part of the cylinder 2221 is connected to the second base plate 222, and the movable part of the cylinder 2221 is connected to the pressing member 23.

[0043] In one embodiment of this application, the pressing member 23 includes a third substrate 231 and a plurality of pressing strips 232; the third substrate 231 is connected to the second substrate 222 via the cylinder 2221; the plurality of pressing strips 232 are arranged side by side at the bottom of the third substrate 231; When feeding, the pressure strip 232 presses against the fabric piece.

[0044] It should be noted that the movable part of the cylinder 2221 is connected to the third base plate 231; the parallel pressure strips 232 can apply pressure evenly to the fabric piece, smoothly drag the fabric piece from the output table 4 to the sewing machine 3, and prevent the fabric piece from wrinkling during dragging.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, the transfer mechanism 2 includes a guardrail 24; the guardrail 24 is disposed on the outside of the guide rail 21.

[0047] It should be noted that the guardrail 24 is used to isolate the movement area of ​​the telescopic slide 22 during its movement along the guide rail 21, and to prevent surrounding personnel from coming into contact with it. It is a work safety protection structure.

[0048] In one embodiment of this application, a receiving rack 16 is provided on the side of the machine base 1 away from the folding machine.

[0049] It should be noted that when sewing is completed, the fabric pieces are transferred to the receiving rack 16 by the roller 31 of the sewing machine 3. Multiple fabric pieces can be stacked on the receiving rack 16, thereby completing the receiving process of folding and sewing.
