1 to 3, the sequin attachment device according to the present invention includes a table 3 on which the fabric is placed, and a ball feeder 10 on which the sequins S are stored and supplied. Of course, the table 3 and the ball feeder 10 are installed in close proximity to each other by the frame 1, and the outlet 14 and the table 3 of the ball feeder 10 may be installed on the same horizontal line. desirable.

Here, the ball feeder 10 is a device for guiding the sequins (S) stored therein to the top along the guideline by vibration one by one to discharge through the discharge port 14, because its internal configuration and principle is a known technique. Detailed description will be omitted. That is, the ball feeder 10 used in the present invention is used to purchase a commercially available product, the outlet portion may be used by modifying. That is, the duct 12, which is a guideline of the ball feeder 10, has a shape of “┘” having an upper surface and an inner side open, and at the outlet portion, the cover 16 is attached to the upper surface as shown in FIG. The upper surface and the side are closed to have a closed “□” tubular shape, and the outlet 14 may be configured to have an open top surface again to take out the sequins.

Next, the present invention is provided with an ultrasonic fusion machine 20 for attaching the sequins to the fabric by applying heat to the sequins by ultrasonic vibration.

And the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is installed so as to be movable between the table 3 and the ball feeder 10 in a vertical and horizontal direction by a separate transfer means, the discharge port of the ball feeder 10 by a separate suction means ( It is configured to absorb the sequins (S) discharged to 14) to the top surface of the original fabric of the table (3).

The moving means has a support bracket 22 to which the ultrasonic welding machine 20 is fixed. The vertical cylinder 30 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support bracket 22, and the rod 32 of the vertical cylinder 30 passes through the support bracket 22, and an end thereof is the upper surface of the block 24. Is fixedly connected to Therefore, when the rod 32 is extended or contracted, the vertical cylinder 30 moves up and down relatively by the expansion and contraction to move the support bracket and vertically move the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 vertically. Here, a vertical guide rod 34 is provided between the block 24 and the support bracket 22 to guide the movement of the support bracket without flow. In addition, a cylinder bracket 5 fixed to the frame 1 is provided on one side of the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 in close proximity, and a horizontal cylinder 40 is fixedly installed on the cylinder bracket. The rod 42 of the horizontal cylinder 40 passes through the cylinder bracket 5 and its end is fixedly connected to one side of the block 24. Therefore, when the rod 42 is extended or contracted, the block 24 moves horizontally according to the stretching action, and as a result, the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 also moves horizontally. Here, the horizontal guide rods 44 are installed on both sides of the rod 42 so as to penetrate the block 24 so that the block moves without flow.

A suction passage 21 is formed in the suction means so as to penetrate into the lower surface (adhesive surface) of the ultrasonic fusion machine, and a vacuum generator 52 is installed to be connected to the suction passage 21 so that a vacuum is introduced into the suction passage 21. And by causing the sequins to adsorb to the lower surface of the ultrasonic fusion machine by vacuum.

In addition, after attaching the sequins adsorbed by the ultrasonic fusion machine to the fabric, the suction means blocks the vacuum generated from the suction passage 21 so as to fall off from the ultrasonic fusion machine and blows air through the suction passage 21. The main is configured such that the air generating means are operated together.

Referring to FIG. 4, the principle of the adsorption means and the air generating means will be described in more detail. The air transfer passage 50 is connected to the suction passage 21, and the air transfer passage 50 is connected to the first distribution passage. 54 and the second distribution passage 56 are respectively connected, and each distribution passage is connected to the compressor 58, and the air transfer passage between the first distribution passage 54 and the second distribution passage 56 ( On the 50, a vacuum generator 52 is installed. In addition, the first distribution passage 54 is configured to allow the air supplied from the compressor 58 to be discharged to the outside, and a first valve 55 is installed in each distribution passage, that is, the first distribution passage 54. The second distribution passage 56 is provided with a second valve 57 so as to selectively open or close the passage. Here, since the vacuum generator is a known technique, a detailed description thereof will be omitted, and the solenoid valve may be generally applied to the first and second valves as an example.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is preferable that the inlet of the suction passage 21, that is, the surface on which the sequins are adsorbed, is configured to have the same shape as the sequins. For example, if the sequins have a hemispherical shape, the inlet surface of the suction passage is also corresponding to the hemisphere. What is necessary is just to have a shape.

In addition, a laser beam 70 is additionally installed on a part of the apparatus to project the position where the sequins are attached to the fabric so that the operator can visually confirm the position where the sequins S are transferred to the fabric. It is preferable.

Next, according to the present invention, when the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is located at the outlet 14 of the ball feeder 10, the first sensor 60 for detecting this, and the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is detected on the fabric The second sensor 62, and the ultrasonic sensor 20 includes a third sensor 64 for detecting and transmitting a signal when the falling operation is completed in the state in which the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is moved up. That is, when the first sensor 60 and the third sensor 64 are operated, the suction passage 21 of the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is vacuumed by recognizing that the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 adsorbs the sequins S. The first sensor 60 and the third sensor 64 are operated to recognize that the sequins S are attached to the fabric and operate the ultrasonic fusion machine 20. Of course, the configuration of the sensor has been described as an example and may be configured differently from the present embodiment.

Now, the operation and operational effects of the present invention thus constructed will be described.

When power is supplied to the device according to the invention, the respective components are actuated to be mechanically interlocked with each other.

First, when the ball feeder 10 is operated, the sequins S stored in the ball feeder are moved in the direction of the outlet 14 along the guideline, that is, the duct 12 by vibration. At this time, those that are correctly seated and transported so that the flat surface of the hemispherical sequins touches the duct 12 surface are guided to the outlet 14, and those seated so that the spheres touch the duct 12 surface are duct 12. Since one side of the is open, it will fall into the ball feeder. Therefore, the sequins S are always guided to the outlet 14 in the correct shape. Of course, since the upper surface of the duct 12 is blocked in the outlet 14, the sequins are also prevented from overlapping.

When the sequins S are guided to the outlet 14 of the ball feeder 10 as described above, the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is moved by the moving means, and the sequins are transported back to the original fabric while the sequins are adsorbed by the adsorption means. Let's go.

Referring to the movement and adsorption operation of the ultrasonic welder, as shown in FIG. 6A, when a signal is transmitted to the ultrasonic welder 20 on the table 3, the vertical cylinder 30 is operated as shown in FIG. 6B. The ultrasonic fusion machine 20 rises vertically upward. That is, when the rod 32 of the vertical cylinder 30 is extended, since the rod 32 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the block 24, the vertical cylinder 30 is raised relatively, and the vertical cylinder is fixed to the support. As the bracket 22 rises together, the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is vertically raised.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 6C, the horizontal cylinder 40 is operated and the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 moves horizontally to the top of the outlet 14 of the ball feeder 10. That is, when the rod 42 of the horizontal cylinder 40 is reduced, since the rod is fixedly connected to one side of the block 24, the ultrasonic welding machine 20 is horizontally moved together while the block 24 is moved.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 6D, the vertical cylinder 30 is operated again, and the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is vertically lowered so that the sequins S closely adhere to the lower surface. That is, when the rod 32 of the vertical cylinder 30 is reduced, since the rod is fixed to the block, the ultrasonic cylinder 20 is also lowered while the vertical cylinder 30 is relatively lowered.

Then, the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is detected by the first sensor 60 on the outlet 14 of the ball feeder 10 and at the same time, the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is lowered by the third sensor 64. Sensing and maintaining the suction passage 21 of the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 in a vacuum state.

Here, when the vacuum is generated in the suction passage 21 of the ultrasonic fusion machine 20, only the first valve 55 is opened while the second valve 57 is blocked, so that the air supplied from the compressor 58 is the first. Discharge to the outside through the distribution passage (54). At the same time, the vacuum generator 52 is operated so that the air in the suction passage 21 is sucked by the force of the air discharged through the first distribution passage 54 and discharged together. Then, suction force is generated in the suction passage 21, and when the sequin is absorbed by the inlet of the suction passage 21, the inside of the suction passage 21 maintains a vacuum state, and in this state, the sequin can be moved. Will be.

As such, when the sequins S are adsorbed to the ultrasonic fusion machine 20, the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is raised again as shown in FIG. 6C by the operation of the vertical cylinder 30, and FIG. 6B by the operation of the horizontal cylinder 40. As shown in FIG. 6A, the sequin S is seated on the table fabric as shown in FIG. 6A.

Then, the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is detected by the second sensor 62 on the fabric, and the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is sensed by the third sensor 64 to detect the lowered state. Momentarily Then, the heat is generated by the vibration of the ultrasonic waves to attach the sequins to the fabric. Ultrasonic vibration can be set by installing a separate timer.

When the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 attaches the sequins S and starts to rise, air is supplied through the suction passage 21 so that the sequins S are well separated from the ultrasonic fusion machine 20. That is, the first valve 55 is cut off, the second valve 57 is opened, and the air supplied from the compressor 58 is transferred to the suction passage 21 via the air transfer passage 50.

As such, the apparatus according to the present invention automatically attaches the sequins continuously supplied through the ball feeder onto the fabric while repeatedly performing the operation as described above. Therefore, it is possible to quickly attach the sequins to the fabric.

In addition, the device according to the present invention has the advantage of easy and simple structure and operation because the sequin is operated only vertically or horizontally. Meanwhile, another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 7, and FIGS. 8A to 8D. An operation diagram showing the operation sequence thereof is shown in FIG. 4. Referring to this, another embodiment of the present invention provides an outlet (1) of the ball feeder 10 so that the operation of the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is faster than that of the above-described embodiment. The points 14) are configured to be located higher than the table 3, but the rest of the configuration and operation are the same. That is, according to one embodiment, the ultrasonic fusion machine 20 is sequentially raised, moved horizontally, and lowered. After adsorbing the sequins through the process, the sequins are attached to the fabric through the process of ascending, horizontally moving and descending again. However, in the present embodiment, the outlet 14 of the ball feeder 10 is more than the table 3. Since it is located in a high position as shown in Figures 8a and 8b, the sequins are adsorbed only by the process of ascending and horizontal movement, and then the sequins are displaced through the process of horizontal movement and descending as shown in Figs. 8c and 8d. Will be attached to the Therefore, the sequins can be adsorbed more quickly and attached to the fabric. Of course, all other configurations, operations, and effects are the same as in the above-described embodiment, and thus, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, the present invention can be quickly and automatically attached to the sequins on the fabric has the effect of increasing the work efficiency and mass production of the product. In addition, the apparatus according to the present invention because the ultrasonic welding machine is moved only by linear motion, its structure is simple and simple to operate, thus reducing the failure rate and reducing the manufacturing cost.

While the invention has been shown and described in connection with specific embodiments as described above, it is well known in the art that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as indicated by the claims.
