Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In modern sewing operations, sewing machines, as the main sewing equipment, require a continuous supply of thread to complete various sewing tasks. As an indispensable consumable in the sewing process, thread spools will appear in two states during use due to thread consumption: one is an empty spool where the thread is completely used up and only the shell remains; the other is a spool with remaining thread that can be reused.

[0003] In existing technology, used yarn spools, including empty and reusable spools, are simply piled up in a designated storage area after use without any sorting or separation. When subsequent sorting, recycling, or reuse is required, each spool must be manually inspected and classified. This process is labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a sewing machine thread spool sorting and recycling device and a sewing production line that can improve production efficiency.

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

[0006] A sewing machine thread spool sorting and recycling device, the sorting and recycling device comprising:

[0007] Install back panel;

[0008] Inspection items;

[0009] A top-opening receiving compartment, the receiving compartment having a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity that are independent of each other;

[0010] A wire coil sorting mechanism is mounted on a mounting back plate and includes a drive component, a movable component, and a sorting component. The sorting component has a first sorting hole, a second sorting hole, and a feeding area. The first sorting hole is located above a first receiving cavity, and the second sorting hole is located above a second receiving cavity. The movable component has a feeding chamber. A detection component is used to detect the type of the wire coil located in the feeding chamber. The drive component drives the movable component to move, thereby moving the feeding chamber from the feeding area to a position connected to the first or second sorting hole.

[0011] It is understood that this application, by setting up a wire coil sorting mechanism including a driving component, a movable component, and a sorting component, forms a first sorting hole, a second sorting hole, and a material conveying area on the sorting component, and a conveying chamber on the movable component. The driving component drives the movable component to move, so that the conveying chamber is located in the material conveying area or connected to the first sorting hole or the second sorting hole. Thus, the driving component responds to the detection result of the detection component and drives the conveying chamber to move from the material conveying area to the connection of the first sorting hole or the second sorting hole, so that the wire coil enters the first receiving cavity or the second receiving cavity. This can realize the sorting of wire coils without consuming manpower and can improve production efficiency.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first sorting hole and the second sorting hole are located on both sides of the feeding area, and the driving member drives the movable member to swing back and forth from the feeding area toward the first sorting hole or the second sorting hole.

[0013] In one embodiment, the sorting component is configured as a sorting plate mounted on the mounting back plate. The sorting plate has a first sorting hole and a second sorting hole. The movable component is disposed above the sorting plate and has a wire winding hole. The area covered by the wire winding hole extending toward the sorting plate forms the conveying chamber. The conveying chamber is initially located in the material conveying area and can move to communicate with the first sorting hole or the second sorting hole under the drive of the driving component.

[0014] In one embodiment, the wire coil sorting mechanism further includes a guide sleeve, the movable component is configured as a turntable, the turntable has the wire coil hole, the guide sleeve is disposed on the side of the turntable facing the sorting plate and located on the outer periphery of the wire coil hole, and the space communicating between the guide sleeve and the wire coil hole forms the conveying chamber.

[0015] Understandably, by setting up a guide sleeve to guide the wire rolls located in the conveyor bin, the wire rolls can be made to rotate with the turntable, preventing the wire rolls from leaving the conveyor bin and thus avoiding the problem of them being unable to be sorted.

[0016] In one embodiment, the wire coil sorting mechanism further includes a shelf mounted on the mounting back plate. The shelf is located above and spaced apart from the sorting plate, and the shelf has mounting holes. The turntable is mounted in the mounting holes and is rotatable relative to the shelf.

[0017] In one embodiment, a support member is provided on the shelf, the support member is disposed below the shelf and surrounds the circumference of the wire winding hole, the support member abuts against the turntable to support the turntable.

[0018] It is understandable that by setting support components around the online roll holes, the turntable is supported, so that the turntable can rotate stably relative to the shelf and improve the stability of the turntable rotation.

[0019] In one embodiment, the wire coil sorting mechanism further includes a drive support, which is mounted on the sorting plate, and the drive is mounted on the drive support and connected to the movable component.

[0020] In one embodiment, the wire roll sorting mechanism further includes a position calibration member with a sensing area facing the feeding area, and the movable member is provided with a marking portion that can cooperate with the position calibration member.

[0021] In one embodiment, the detection element is configured as a camera, and the sewing machine thread spool sorting and recycling device further includes a camera mounting plate mounted on the mounting back plate, the camera mounting plate being disposed above the movable element, and the camera being mounted on the camera mounting plate and facing the conveying bin.

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

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

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, the sewing machine thread spool sorting and recycling device, by setting up a thread spool sorting mechanism including a driving component, a movable component, and a sorting component, forms a first sorting hole, a second sorting hole, and a feeding area on the sorting component, and a conveying chamber on the movable component. The driving component drives the movable component to move, so that the conveying chamber is located in the feeding area or connected to the first sorting hole or the second sorting hole. Thus, in response to the detection result of the detection component, the driving component drives the conveying chamber to move from the feeding area to the connection of the first sorting hole or the second sorting hole, so that the thread spool enters the first receiving cavity or the second receiving cavity. This can realize the sorting of thread spools without consuming manpower and can improve production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 4This application provides a sewing machine thread spool sorting and recycling device 100, which includes: a mounting back plate 10, a detection element 20, a top-opening receiving chamber 30, and a thread spool sorting mechanism 40. The receiving chamber 30 has a first receiving cavity 31 and a second receiving cavity 32 that are independent of each other. The thread spool sorting mechanism 40 is mounted on the mounting back plate 10 and includes a driving element 44, a movable element 41, and a sorting element 42. The sorting element 42 is provided with a first sorting hole 421, a second sorting hole 422, and a feeding area 423. The first sorting hole 421 is located above the first receiving cavity 31, and the second sorting hole 422 is located above the second receiving cavity 32. The movable element 41 has a feeding chamber 411. The detection element 20 is used to detect the type of thread spool located in the feeding chamber 411. The driving element 44 drives the movable element 41 to move, so as to move the feeding chamber 411 from the feeding area 423 to the point where it connects to the first sorting hole 421 or the second sorting hole 422. Thus, this application, by setting up a wire coil sorting mechanism 40 including a driving member 44, a movable member 41, and a sorting member 42, forms a first sorting hole 421, a second sorting hole 422, and a feeding area 423 on the sorting member 42, and a feeding chamber 411 on the movable member 41. By using the driving member 44 to drive the movable member 41 to move, the feeding chamber 411 can be located in the feeding area 423 or connected to the first sorting hole 421 or the second sorting hole 422. Thus, in response to the detection result of the detection member 20, the driving member 44 drives the feeding chamber 411 to move from the feeding area 423 to the point connected to the first sorting hole 421 or the second sorting hole 422, so that the wire coil enters the first receiving cavity 31 or the second receiving cavity 32. This can achieve the sorting of wire coils without consuming manpower and can improve production efficiency.

[0038] In one embodiment, the detection element 20 may be a visual recognition structure disposed on the mounting back plate 10 or a weight sensor disposed on the conveying chamber 411, which can detect whether the spool is an empty spool or a recyclable spool.

[0039] In this embodiment, the detection component 20 is configured as a camera 21. The sewing machine thread spool sorting and recycling device 100 also includes a camera mounting plate 22 mounted on the mounting back plate 10. The camera mounting plate 22 is positioned above the movable component 41. The camera 21 is mounted on the camera mounting plate 22 and faces the conveying chamber 411, and is used to detect the shape of the thread spools in the conveying chamber 411. Here, the camera 21 intelligently identifies the collected thread spool shape by connecting to an identification device, accurately identifies the thread spool type based on the morphological characteristics such as the diameter and width of the thread spool, and automatically updates 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 types is a conventional technical means in the art, the process of the camera 21 identifying object types and controlling the movement of the drive component 44 based on the identification results will not be described in detail here.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the movable component 41 has a wire winding hole 4131, which extends towards the sorting plate 424 and covers an area that forms a conveying chamber 411. In this embodiment, the movable component 41 is configured as a turntable 413, and the driving component 44 can drive the turntable 413 to rotate around its axis. It should be noted that when the movable component 41 is configured as a turntable 413, the wire winding hole 4131 is located at a non-axial position on the turntable 413, so that when the turntable 413 rotates, it can drive the wire winding hole 4131 to rotate as well.

[0041] Furthermore, the wire spool sorting mechanism 40 also includes a guide sleeve 412. The guide sleeve 412 is disposed on the side of the turntable 413 facing the sorting plate 424 and located on the outer periphery of the wire spool hole 4131. The space communicating between the guide sleeve 412 and the wire spool hole 4131 is the conveying chamber 411. In this way, by providing the guide sleeve 412, the wire spool located in the conveying chamber 411 can be guided by the guide sleeve 412, so that the wire spool can move with the moving part 41, preventing the problem of the wire spool falling out of the conveying chamber 411 and being unable to be sorted.

[0042] In one embodiment, the guide sleeve 412 includes a collar 4121 and a cylinder 4122. The collar 4121 is fixed on the turntable 413 and is equipped with a fastening bolt. The cylinder 4122 is fitted into the inner hole of the collar 4121. By tightening the fastening bolt, the collar 4121 can undergo slight elastic deformation, thereby tightening the cylinder 4122 and achieving fixation between the two.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the first sorting hole 421 and the second sorting hole 422 are located on both sides of the conveying area 423, and the driving member 44 drives the conveying bin 411 of the movable member 41 to reciprocate from the conveying area 423 toward the first sorting hole 421 or the second sorting hole 422.

[0044] In one embodiment, the sorting component 42 is configured as a sorting plate 424 mounted on the mounting back plate 10. The sorting plate 424 has a first sorting hole 421 and a second sorting hole 422. The movable component 41 is disposed above the sorting plate 424. The conveying bin 411 is initially located in the conveying area 423 and can move to communicate with the first sorting hole 421 or the second sorting hole 422 under the drive of the driving component 44.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the wire coil sorting mechanism 40 also includes a shelf 43 mounted on the mounting back plate 10. The shelf 43 is located above the sorting plate 424 and is spaced apart from the sorting plate 424. The shelf 43 has a mounting hole 431. The turntable 413 is mounted in the mounting hole 431 and can rotate relative to the shelf 43.

[0046] In one embodiment, a support member 432 is provided on the shelf 43. The support member 432 is disposed below the shelf 43 and surrounds the wire winding hole 4131 in the circumferential direction. The support member 432 abuts against the turntable 413 to support the turntable 413. By providing the support member 432 in the circumferential direction of the wire winding hole 4131, the turntable 413 is supported, enabling the turntable 413 to rotate stably relative to the shelf 43 and improving the stability of the turntable 413's rotation.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the drive component 44 is fixed to the mounting back plate 10 and connected to the movable component 41, enabling the movable component 41 to move. Here, the drive component 44 can be configured as a motor, cylinder, or other structure.

[0048] In this embodiment, the driving component 44 is configured as a motor and has a rotating shaft 441. The rotating shaft 441 is circumferentially limited to the turntable 413 and can drive the turntable 413 to rotate.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the wire coil sorting mechanism 40 also includes a drive support 45, which is mounted on the sorting plate 424. The drive component 44 is mounted on the drive support 45 and connected to the movable component 41.

[0050] In one embodiment, a long strip groove 451 is provided on the drive component support 45. The drive component 44 and the drive component support 45 are connected by bolts passing through the long hole. The installation height of the drive component 44 can be adjusted by loosening the bolts, which can effectively compensate for the height deviation caused by welding deformation and cumulative errors in component assembly, thereby improving the system adaptability.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the wire winding sorting mechanism 40 also includes a position calibration member 46 with a sensing area 461 facing the feeding area 423, and a marking part 462 on the movable member 41 that can cooperate with the position calibration member 46. Here, the position calibration member 46 can be configured as a photoelectric sensor, an infrared sensor, etc.

[0052] The sorting process of the sewing machine thread spool sorting and recycling device 100 is as follows:

[0053] (1) The wire roll is placed into the conveying chamber 411 through the wire roll hole 4131. The camera 21 collects the wire roll information in the conveying chamber 411 and outputs a signal (for example, if the camera 21 collects the wire roll as an empty wire roll, it outputs the first signal; if the camera 21 collects the wire roll as a recyclable wire roll, it outputs the second signal).

[0054] (2) In response to the signal, the drive unit 44 controls the turntable 413 to rotate, so that the conveying bin 411 located in the conveying area 423 is connected to the first sorting hole 421 or the second sorting hole 422, 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 unit 44 controls the turntable 413 to connect the conveying bin 411 to the first sorting hole 421, and the wire roll falls into the first receiving cavity 31; in response to the second signal, the drive unit 44 controls the turntable 413 to connect the conveying bin 411 to the second sorting hole 422, and the wire roll falls into the second receiving cavity 32).

[0055] (3) The drive unit 44 controls the turntable 413 to rotate, so that the conveying bin 411 is back in the conveying area 423. The second detection unit 20 detects the rotation position of the turntable 413 to ensure that the conveying bin 411 is in the conveying area 423.

[0056] (4) Put in a new roll of yarn and start a new round of sorting.

[0057] This application also provides the following technical solutions:

[0058] A sewing production line includes a sewing machine thread spool sorting and recycling device 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0059] 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.

[0060] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are 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. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
