Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sewing machine technology, and in particular to a thread spool sorting and recycling device and a sewing production line. Background Technology

[0002] During the use of a sewing machine, a spool of thread is usually provided for winding sewing thread. After use, these spools may be in two states: one is that the sewing thread has been used up and the spool has become an empty spool; the other is that although the spool has been used, it is still a reusable spool that can be used again.

[0003] In existing traditional sewing machine thread spool management methods, used thread spools, whether empty or still usable, are often collected and stored together without an effective differentiation and separation mechanism. Because there are no dedicated sorting or separation devices, operators typically need to manually identify and classify empty and reusable spools after use. This process not only increases additional labor costs but also reduces the efficiency of thread spool sorting. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a thread spool sorting and recycling device and a sewing production line that can solve the above problems.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A thread spool sorting and recycling device is used to sort and recycle thread spools from sewing machines. The thread spool sorting and recycling device includes:

[0007] Cabinet;

[0008] The first detection component is installed in the cabinet.

[0009] A top-opening receiving compartment is located at the bottom of the cabinet along its height, and the receiving compartment has a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity that are independent of each other;

[0010] A placement plate is installed inside the cabinet along the depth direction and located above the receiving compartment; the placement plate has a conveying compartment.

[0011] A diversion assembly is installed inside the cabinet and located between the placement plate and the receiving chamber. The diversion assembly includes a drive component and a diversion component. The diversion component is provided with a first guide channel, a second guide channel, and a material conveying area disposed between the first guide channel and the second guide channel. The first guide channel communicates with the first receiving chamber, and the second guide channel communicates with the second receiving chamber. The drive component is electrically connected to the first detection component and is used to drive the diversion component to move so that the conveying chamber is located in the material conveying area or communicates with the first guide channel and the second guide channel.

[0012] It is understood that by setting up a diversion assembly including a driving component and a diversion component, when the wire roll is placed in the conveying bin of the placement plate, the conveying bin is initially located in the material conveying area. The driving component can drive the diversion component to move to the point where the conveying bin connects with the first guide channel or the second guide channel according to the detection result of the detection component, so that the wire roll falls into the first receiving cavity or the second receiving cavity, thereby realizing the automatic classification of the wire roll, which can reduce labor costs and improve the efficiency of wire roll classification.

[0013] In one embodiment, the diverter is configured as a rotating component, the drive component is mounted on the cabinet, the rotating component is eccentrically connected to the drive component, and the first guide channel, the second guide channel, and the material conveying area are provided at the non-rotating axis of the rotating component.

[0014] In one embodiment, the rotating component includes a rotating plate, a first guide cylinder, and a second guide cylinder. The rotating plate is eccentrically connected to the driving component and can rotate under the drive of the driving component. The rotating plate has a first guide hole and a second guide hole, and is connected to the first guide cylinder and the second guide cylinder on the side facing the receiving chamber. The first guide cylinder and the second guide cylinder are disposed on the outer periphery of the first guide hole and the second guide hole, forming the first guide channel and the second guide channel.

[0015] In one embodiment, the wire roll sorting and recycling device further includes a buffer element installed inside the cabinet and at least partially located in the extending direction of the rotating plate, for buffering collisions between the rotating plate and the cabinet.

[0016] In one embodiment, the diversion assembly further includes a support member fixed to the cabinet and abutting against the rotating plate to support the rotating plate.

[0017] It is understandable that by setting up a support plate to support the rotating parts, the rotating plate can remain stable during rotation and prevent deflection due to gravity.

[0018] In one embodiment, the wire coil sorting and recycling device further includes a second detection element installed inside the cabinet for detecting whether the diverting element has moved to the conveying bin located in the material conveying area.

[0019] In one embodiment, the first detection element is configured as a camera, which is mounted on the top of the cabinet and positioned facing the conveyor compartment.

[0020] In one embodiment, the placement plate has a wire winding hole, and the wire winding sorting and recycling device further includes a third guide cylinder, which is disposed on the side of the placement plate facing the receiving bin and located on the outer periphery of the wire winding hole. The space in which the third guide cylinder communicates with the wire winding hole forms the conveying bin.

[0021] In one embodiment, the wire spool sorting and recycling device further includes a third detection element, which is installed in the cabinet and positioned facing the receiving compartment, for detecting the height of the wire spools in the receiving compartment.

[0022] This application also provides the following technical solutions:

[0023] A sewing production line includes a thread spool sorting and recycling device as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, the wire roll sorting and recycling device, by setting up a diversion component including a driving component and a diversion component, allows the wire roll to be automatically sorted by setting up a diversion component. When the wire roll is placed in the conveying bin of the placement plate, the conveying bin is initially located in the material conveying area. The driving component can drive the diversion component to move to the point where the conveying bin connects with the first guide channel or the second guide channel according to the detection result of the detection component, so that the wire roll falls into the first receiving cavity or the second receiving cavity. This reduces labor costs and improves the efficiency of wire roll sorting. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 4This application provides a thread spool sorting and recycling device 100, which is used to sort and recycle thread spools from sewing machines. Sewing machine thread spools typically include empty spools 201 and recyclable spools 202. The thread spool sorting and recycling device 100 includes: a cabinet 10, a first detection element 20, a top-opening receiving compartment 30, a placement plate 40, and a diversion assembly 50. The first detection element 20 is installed in the cabinet 10; the top-opening receiving compartment 30 is located at the bottom of the cabinet 10 along its height direction, and the receiving compartment 30 has a first receiving cavity 31 and a second receiving cavity 32 that are independent of each other; the placement plate 40 is installed inside the cabinet 10 along its depth direction and is located above the receiving compartment 30. The placement plate 40 has a conveying chamber 41; the diversion assembly 50 is installed inside the cabinet 10 and located between the placement plate 40 and the receiving chamber 30. The diversion assembly 50 includes a driving member 51 and a diversion member 52. The diversion member 52 is provided with a first guide channel 521, a second guide channel 522 and a material conveying area 523 disposed between the first guide channel 521 and the second guide channel 522. The first guide channel 521 is connected to the first receiving cavity 31 and the second guide channel 522 is connected to the second receiving cavity 32. The driving member 51 is electrically connected to the first detection member 20 and is used to drive the diversion member 52 to move so that the conveying chamber 41 is located in the material conveying area 523 or connected to the first guide channel 521 and the second guide channel 522. Thus, by setting up a diversion assembly 50 including a driving component 51 and a diversion component 52, when the wire roll is placed in the conveying chamber 41 of the placement plate 40, the conveying chamber 41 is initially located in the conveying area 523. The driving component 51 drives the diversion component 52 to move to the conveying chamber 41 and connect it with the first guide channel 521 or the second guide channel 522 according to the detection result of the detection component, so that the wire roll falls into the first receiving cavity 31 or the second receiving cavity 32, thereby realizing the automatic classification of the wire roll, which can reduce labor costs and improve the efficiency of wire roll classification.

[0039] In one embodiment, the first detection element 20 may be a visual recognition structure disposed on the cabinet 10 or a weight sensor installed on the conveying bin 41, which can detect whether the wire roll is an empty wire roll 201 or a recyclable wire roll.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first detection element 20 is configured as a camera 21, which is installed on the top of the cabinet 10 and facing the conveying chamber 41, for detecting the shape of the wire coil in the conveying chamber 41. Here, the camera 21 intelligently identifies the collected wire coil shape by connecting to a recognition device, accurately identifying the wire coil type based on its morphological characteristics such as diameter and width, and automatically updating the corresponding category's counting information in the system. It can also integrate AI vision technology for judgment. Since the camera 21's identification of object type is a conventional technical means in the art, the process of the camera 21 identifying object type and controlling the movement of the drive element 51 based on the identification result will not be described in detail here.

[0041] In one embodiment, the placement plate 40 has a wire winding hole 42, and the wire winding sorting and recycling device 100 further includes a third guide cylinder 43. The third guide cylinder 43 is disposed on the side of the placement plate 40 facing the receiving chamber 30 and is located on the outer periphery of the wire winding hole 42. The space between the third guide cylinder 43 and the wire winding hole 42 forms a conveying chamber 41. By setting the third guide cylinder 43, the wire winding can be limited. When the diverter 52 moves, the wire winding can be precisely controlled to enter the first guide channel 521 or the second guide channel 522 through the connection of the first guide channel 521 and the second guide channel 522 of the third guide cylinder 43. Then, under the guidance of the first guide channel 521 and the second guide channel 522, it enters the first receiving chamber 31 or the second receiving chamber 32, making the running trajectory of the wire winding more stable and preventing the wire winding from changing position as the diverter 52 moves, thereby hindering the sorting of the wire winding.

[0042] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the diverter 52 is configured as a rotating component 524, and the drive component 51 is mounted on the cabinet 10. The rotating component 524 is eccentrically connected to the drive component 51, and a first guide channel 521, a second guide channel 522, and a material conveying area 523 are provided at the non-rotating axis of the rotating component 524. Here, the drive component 51 can be configured as a DC motor, a stepper motor, or other structures.

[0043] Furthermore, the rotating component 524 includes a rotating plate 525, a first guide cylinder 526, and a second guide cylinder 527. The rotating plate 525 is eccentrically connected to the driving component 51 and can rotate under the drive of the driving component 51. The rotating plate 525 has a first guide hole 528 and a second guide hole 529, and is connected to the first guide cylinder 526 and the second guide cylinder 527 on the side facing the receiving chamber 30. The first guide cylinder 526 and the second guide cylinder 527 are disposed on the outer periphery of the first guide hole 528 and the second guide hole 529, forming a first guide channel 521 and a second guide channel 522.

[0044] In one embodiment, the diversion assembly 50 further includes a support member 53, which is fixed to the cabinet 10 and abuts against the rotating plate 525 to support the rotating plate 525. Thus, by providing the support plate to support the rotating member 524, the rotating plate 525 can remain stable during rotation, preventing deflection due to gravity.

[0045] In this embodiment, the support member 53 is configured as a support plate. The support plate is installed on the side of the cabinet 10 away from the installation position of the drive member 51, and is located on both sides of the rotating plate 525 along with the drive member 51, providing support for the rotating plate 525. This prevents the rotating member 524 from deflecting during rotation, which would affect the sorting effect and ensures the stability of the rotation of the rotating member 524.

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the wire spool sorting and recycling device 100 also includes a buffer 60, which is installed inside the cabinet 10 and is at least partially located in the extension direction of the rotating plate 525 to buffer collisions between the rotating plate 525 and the cabinet 10. Here, the buffer 60 is configured with a flexible material, such as rubber, silicone, or sponge.

[0047] In this embodiment, two buffers 60 are provided. The rotating plate 525 will rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. One buffer 60 is located on the movement trajectory of the rotating plate 525 in the clockwise direction, and the other buffer 60 is located on the movement trajectory of the rotating plate 525 in the counterclockwise direction, so as to play a buffering role at the places where the rotating plate 525 may collide with the cabinet 10.

[0048] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the wire coil sorting and recycling device 100 also includes a second detection element 70, which is installed inside the cabinet 10 and is used to detect whether the diverter 52 has moved to the conveying bin 41 located in the conveying area 523.

[0049] In this embodiment, the second detection element 70 is disposed on the cabinet 10 and has a sensing area 71. The rotating member 524 is provided with a marking part 72 that can cooperate with the sensing area 71. When the marking part 72 is located in the sensing area 71, the conveying bin 41 is located in the conveying area 523. Here, the second detection element 70 can be configured as a photoelectric sensor, an infrared sensor, etc.

[0050] In one embodiment, the wire spool sorting and recycling device 100 further includes a third detection element 80, which is installed in the cabinet 10 and positioned facing the receiving compartment 30, for detecting the height of the wire spools within the receiving compartment 30. The third detection element 80 can be configured as a laser rangefinder, gravity sensor, ultrasonic sensor, or photoelectric sensor, etc.

[0051] The sorting process of the wire roll sorting and recycling device 100 is as follows:

[0052] (1) The wire coil is placed into the feeding bin through the wire coil hole 42. The camera 21 collects the wire coil information in the feeding bin and outputs a signal (for example, if the camera 21 collects the wire coil as an empty wire coil 201, it outputs the first signal; if the camera 21 collects the wire coil as a recyclable wire coil 202, it outputs the second signal).

[0053] (2) In response to the signal, the drive member 51 controls the rotating member 524 to rotate, so that the conveying chamber 41 located in the conveying area 523 is connected to the first guide channel 521 or the second guide channel 522, so that the wire roll falls into the first receiving cavity 31 or the second receiving cavity 32 (for example, in response to the first signal, the drive member 51 controls the rotating member 524 to connect the conveying chamber 41 to the first guide channel 521, and the wire roll falls into the first receiving cavity 31; in response to the second signal, the drive member 51 controls the rotating member 524 to connect the conveying chamber 41 to the second guide channel 522, and the wire roll falls into the second receiving cavity 32).

[0054] (3) The driving component 51 controls the rotating component 524 to rotate, so that the conveying bin 41 is repositioned in the conveying area 523. The second detection component 70 detects the rotation position of the rotating component 524 to ensure that the conveying bin 41 is located in the conveying area 523.

[0055] (4) Put in a new roll of yarn and start a new round of sorting.

[0056] This application also provides the following technical solutions:

[0058] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0059] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
