The cutting assembly 21 cuts the fabric transmitted by the first transmission assembly 11, and the cut-off fabric forms the towel blank and is transmitted to the hemming mechanism 3 by the distribution assembly 22.

[0052] As shown in FIGS. 4-5, the cutting assembly 21 is provided with a pressing device 23 close to one side of the feeding frame 1. The pressing device 23 comprises an upper pressing rod 231, a lower pressing rod 232 and a sixth driving device 233 for driving the upper pressing rod 231 to move downward. Before cutting, the sixth driving device 233 drives the upper pressing rod 231 to move downward to press the fabric against the lower pressing rod 232 to limit the fabric. It should be noted that the pressing device 23 is further away from the cutting assembly 21 to ensure that the fabric at the cutting assembly 21 remains flat when the pressing device 23 limits the fabric, which facilitates neat cutting.

[0053] The cutting assembly 21 comprises an upper cutter 211, a lower cutter 212 and a third driving device 213 for driving the upper cutter 211 to move downward. When the fabric is cut, the pressing assembly presses the fabric, and the third driving device 213 drives the upper cutter 211 to move downward to cooperate with the lower cutter 212 to cut the fabric.

[0054] The material distribution assembly 22 comprises a first dragging assembly 221 and a second dragging assembly 222. The first dragging assembly 221 is arranged at the lower end of the material conveying direction, and comprises a first clamping device 2211 and a fourth driving device 2212 for driving the first clamping device 2211 to move.
