Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a cutting device for marking cloth, etc., and more specifically, a moving mechanism that can be freely displaced in two axes of an orthogonal coordinate system along a mounting table. By attaching a cutting means such as a heat cutter to the holder and providing a glass plate as a placement plate on which fabric etc. is directly placed on the placing table, damage to the placement plate and heat caused by the cutting means during mark cutting work can be avoided. The present invention relates to a cutting device for marking fabric, etc., which is configured to be able to prevent influences and the like.

[Background of the Invention] Conventionally, it has been common practice to add marks, numbers, etc. to various uniforms for the purpose of identifying one's workplace, team to which he or she belongs, or for individual recognition. As this type of mark, crimp marks are usually widely used.

That is, a laminated adhesive is provided on the back side of the marking fabric in advance, a desired mark is cut out from this fabric according to the pattern, the mark is positioned on an object to be pressed such as a uniform, and then a thermocompression press is applied. The mark is attached by melting the adhesive using a container or the like. Here, when cutting out a predetermined mark from cloth, the following method has conventionally been used.

First, as shown in FIG. 1A, the fabric 4 is placed on the placement plate 2, and then a mount 6 having a desired mark shape is formed in advance, and this mount 6 is placed on the fabric 4. do(
(See Figure 1).

Further, as shown in FIG. 1C, a desired mark is thermally cut from the fabric 4 by moving a heat cutter (thermal cutter) 8 as a cutting means along the mount 6, and the mark is from the placement plate 2.

Incidentally, in the conventional method described above, the arrangement plate 2 itself is usually formed of a metal material such as a stainless steel plate. Therefore, when the fabric 4 is thermally cut by the heat cutter 8, the arrangement plate 2 is easily damaged, and the arrangement plate 2 must be replaced with a new arrangement plate 2 relatively frequently. Therefore, it has been pointed out that the replacement work of the arrangement plate 2 becomes complicated and extremely uneconomical.

Moreover, if the heat cutter 8, which is at a considerably high temperature, continues the thermal cutting operation, the arrangement plate 2 itself will also become heated, and for example, the adhesive provided on the back side of the fabric 4 will melt. However, there is a high possibility that the cloth 4 will be stuck to the arrangement plate 2.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in order to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages, and is provided with a cutting means such as a heat cutter attached to a moving mechanism that is two-dimensionally displaceable on a mounting table, and A glass plate is provided on the writing table as a placement plate on which the fabric etc. is directly placed, so that the placement plate itself is not damaged by the cutting means, and furthermore, the placement plate is prevented from being affected by heat. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cutting device for marking fabric, etc., which makes it possible to reliably and automatically cut out a desired mark from fabric, etc.

6 and extends from the main body 102.
is connected to a power source (not shown). Here, the housing 14 constituting the cutting device 10 is provided with a flexible cord support 110 that is wound spirally, and the cord 108
is held on this cord support 110.

Furthermore, the control section 120 of the cutting device 10 is shown in FIG. That is, the control unit 120 essentially includes a CPU 122, a ROM 124 into which information such as the original position of the heat cutter 100 and a system program is input in advance, and an RA for importing information corresponding to the shape of the mark described later.
It has an M126, an FD interface 128, a sheet key interface 129, and a moving mechanism interface 130, which are interconnected by a path line 132 consisting of a data bus, a control bus, and the like.

The cutting device according to this embodiment is basically constructed as described above, and its operation and effects will be explained next.

First, the floppy disk 13 is loaded by an FDD (not shown).
4, write the information of desired marks A, BSJ and C.

Meanwhile, the power is turned on in the cutting device 10,
The fabric 136 to be cut is placed on the placement plate 24.

In this case, the fabric 136 may be a single piece of fabric with a laminated adhesive on the back side, or a mark fabric and a base fabric that are polymerized and then laminated on the side of the base fabric that faces the object to be pressed. It is possible to use one provided with an adhesive.

Therefore, when the floppy disk 134 is inserted into the insertion slot 16 formed in the mounting table 12, the mark information written on the floppy disk 134 is transferred to the RAM1.
26. Therefore, by operating the sheet key 18, the cutting device 10 is driven and controlled by the system program recorded in the RAM 126 and ROM 124.

That is, the rotary drive sources 46 and 76 are driven to move the heat cutter 100, which is previously in the original position, to the cutting start position of the fabric 136. When the rotary drive shaft 46a is rotated in a predetermined direction under the driving action of the rotary drive source 46, the pulley 48 pivotally attached to the shaft rotates.
The first movable body 56 moves in the direction of the arrow X via the grooved bell (50) stretched between the roller 52 and the grooved bell 8. On the other hand, when the pulley 78 is rotated in a predetermined direction via the rotary drive shaft 76a under the driving action of the rotary drive source 76, the grooved belt 82 similarly stretched between the pulley 78 and the guide roller 62 causes the 2 moving body 84 moves in the direction of arrow Y. Therefore, the heat cutter 100 is substantially 2 in the orthogonal coordinate system.
It moves in the axial direction and reaches the cutting start site of the fabric 136. At that time, the driving of each rotary drive source 46, 76 is stopped.

Next, the near solenoid 64 constituting the displacement means 63
is driven to displace the rod 64a vertically downward against the tensile force of the tension spring 70. Therefore, the rod 64a
The swinging member 66 that is engaged with the swing member 66 swings vertically downward, and the support rod 72 held by the swinging member 66 and the guide bar 582 swings vertically downward. In this case, when the linear solenoid 64 is deenergized, the support rod 72 engages with the arm member 94 and holds the tip portion 106 of the heat cuffer 100 above the fabric 136 (see FIG. (See dot-dashed line). Therefore, as described above, when the support rod 72 swings vertically downward, the arm member 94 swings vertically downward under its own weight and the tensile action of the tension springs 96a and 96b. 100 tip portions 106 engage the fabric 136 (see solid lines in FIG. 4). As a result, the tip portion 106 heated to a predetermined temperature thermally melts the cutting start portion of the fabric 136.

Therefore, under the driving action of the control section 120, the rotary drive source 46.
76 to drive and control the chip portion 1 of the heat cover 100.
06 two-dimensionally along a desired trajectory, desired marks A, B, and C are thermally cut out (see FIG. 7). Here, when the tip part 106 reaches the non-melting part, the linear solenoid 64 is deenergized to swing the swinging member 66 vertically upward under the tension of the tension spring 70, and this swinging The support rod 72 integrally bridged by the member 66 and the mounting member 74 is moved vertically upward. Therefore, the support rod 72 swings the arm member 94 vertically upward, and the tip portion 106 of the heat cuffer 100 held by the arm member 94 via the grip portion 98 is separated from the cloth 136.

After the desired marks A, B, and C are thermally cut in this manner, the tip portion 106 of the heat capter 100 is attached to the fabric 1.
Each rotary drive source 46.76 is spaced apart from 36.
is driven to move the heat cover 100 to the cleaning means 26 side. Further, when the rotational drive source 76 is driven and the second moving means 83 is moved toward the cleaning means 26 side along the direction of arrow Y, the tip part 106 enters the slit groove 34 of the corpus cavernosum 32, and the cleaning water The tip portion 106 is cleaned by the corpus cavernosum 32 including the corpora cavernosa 32 . Next, the rotational drive source 76 is driven to displace the second movable body 84 in a direction away from the casing 14 along the arrow Y direction, thereby detaching the tip portion 106 from the corpus cavernosum 32 and removing the heat cuffer 100. Move it to the predetermined original position.

On the other hand, the fabric 1 cut with desired marks A, B and C
36 is removed from the placement plate 24, and a new fabric 136 is placed on this placement plate 24.

In this case, according to this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
The arrangement plate 24 is formed of a glass plate, the fabric 136 is placed on the arrangement plate 24, and the fabric 136 is thermally cut by the heat cutter 110. Therefore, when the heat cutter 110 is displaced in the directions of arrows X and Y and the chip portion 106 slides on the arrangement plate 24, the arrangement plate 24 is not damaged unlike a conventional stainless steel plate. . As a result, there is no need to replace the arrangement plate 24,
This not only improves the efficiency of the entire work but also has the advantage of being economical.

Moreover, even if the chip portion 106 is at a considerably high temperature,
The placement plate 24 itself is not heated, and the effect is that, for example, the adhesive provided on the back side of the fabric 136 can be prevented from melting and the fabric 136 being attached to the placement plate 24. It will be done.

Further, the arrangement plate 24 is disposed in the recess 20 of the mounting table 12, and a part of the opening 22, which is deeper than the recess 20, communicates with the recess 20. For this reason, mark A,
After the thermal melt cutting operations B and C are completed, the worker inserts his or her finger into the opening 22, removes the placement plate 24 from the mounting table 12 together with the fabric 136 after the thermal melt cutting operation has been completed, and removes the placement plate 24 from the mounting table 12. New placement plates 24 can be placed in the twelve recesses 20 (see FIG. 8). As a result, when a new fabric 136 is placed on a new placement plate 24 and a desired thermal welding operation is performed on this new fabric 136, the fabric 136 after thermal welding is placed as described above. This makes it possible to remove the fabric 136 from the placement plate 24 that is attached to it. As a result, there is an advantage that the thermal cutting operation can be performed more efficiently.

Note that in this embodiment, the heat cutter 100 is used as the cutting means, but for example, a gas torch may be used. In this case, the gas torch may be remotely controlled by wireless or the like.

Furthermore, in the X-Y block, which is generally used for drawing line drawings on paper, it is also possible to configure the cutting device by attaching a cutting means such as a heat cutter in place of the pen.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when cutting a cloth or the like using a cutting means such as a heat cutter, the cloth or the like is placed on a placement plate made of a glass plate. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the arrangement plate from being damaged or heated by the cutting means.

Therefore, it is not necessary to frequently replace the placement plate, and the fabric and the like are not unnecessarily attached to the placement plate, making it possible to carry out extremely efficient mark cutting work.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
Of course, various improvements and changes in design are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention.
