Description

Cloth fixture and cloth drive

The present invention relates to a jig for fixing a cloth for sewing work, and more particularly to a cloth jig.

The invention patent application filed by the same applicant of the present invention is shown in the Patent Application No. 96147988 of the present invention. According to the content, a cloth holding mechanism is used for fixing a cloth and is mounted on a printing device, and then through a coloring. The fabric or an embroidery machine can print or embroider the fabric.

However, in actual application, since a plurality of cloth holding mechanisms having different sizes and sizes are often prepared, respectively, a pattern having a different size is separately produced, so if the printing range or the embroidery range is not adjusted, it is easy to produce a large-sized pattern. At the time, the pattern exceeds the range of the small-sized fabric holding mechanism, thus causing a result of the pattern being produced and the result of the loss of the cloth.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cloth jig and a cloth transfer device that can assist an automated device in determining the sewing range.

Thus, the fabric fixture of the present invention is used to fix a fabric and is mounted on a drive platform. The fabric fixture includes an outer frame, an inner frame, and an identification module.

The outer frame comprises an outer frame body, a hollow area surrounded by the inner side of the outer frame body, and a slider connected to the outer side of the outer frame body, the slider being used for coupling the transmission platform.

The inner frame is fitted inside the outer frame and surrounds a sewing area. The identification module is disposed on the slider and includes an identification information matching the range of the sewing area.

The fabric transmission device of the present invention comprises a transmission platform and the aforementioned cloth fixture.

The transmission platform includes a mounting base, at least one motor that moves the mounting base, a connecting port disposed on the mounting base, and a control unit electrically connecting the motor and the connecting port.

The slider of the cloth fixture is slidably disposed in the mounting seat, and the control unit receives the identification information via the connection port, and adjusts the operation of a built-in sewing program according to the identification information to not exceed the sewing area.

The invention has the beneficial effects that: since the identification information of the identification module can directly reflect the range of the sewing area defined by the cloth fixture, the automation device can output when combined with an automatic device such as a printer or an embroidery machine. The pattern is compared with the size of the sewing area, thereby automatically preventing the pattern from exceeding the sewing area, thereby increasing product output yield and reducing fabric waste.

The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention are set forth in the <RTIgt;

As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4, a preferred embodiment of the fabric drive assembly 200 of the present invention includes a drive platform 20 and a fabric clamp 30.

The driving platform 20 includes a mounting seat 21, a mounting slot 22 extending in the longitudinal direction X of the mounting seat 21, and a clamping member 23 disposed on the mounting seat 21 and protruding into the mounting slot 22. Secondly, the motor 24 that moves the mounting seat 21 in different directions, a connecting port 25 disposed on the mounting seat 21, and a control unit 26 electrically connected to the motor 24 and the connecting port 25 are respectively connected.

In the present embodiment, the engaging member 23 and the connecting jaw 25 are aligned in the longitudinal direction X and are displaced from each other. The engaging member 23 is in the form of a trigger in this embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the port 25 has two conductive sheets 251 projecting into the mounting groove 22.

A sewing program 261 is built in the control unit 26.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the cloth fixture 30 is used for fixing a cloth (not shown) and is mounted on the transmission platform 20. The cloth fixture 30 includes an outer frame 31, an inner frame 32, and a Identification module 33.

The outer frame 31 includes an outer frame 311, a hollow area 312 surrounded by the inner side of the outer frame 311, a slider 313 connected to the outer side of the outer frame 311, and a slider 313 formed thereon. In the fixing hole 314 of the clamping member 23, the clamping member 23 is inserted into the fixing hole 314 by a spring 231 in the embodiment.

The slider 313 is used to couple the transmission platform 20. In the embodiment, the slider 313 is slidably disposed in the mounting slot 22 along the long direction X.

The inner frame 32 is fitted inside the outer frame 311 and surrounds a needlework area 321 (needlework area).

The identification module 33 is disposed on the slider 313 and includes a substrate 331 , two conductive portions 332 formed on the substrate 331 , and an electronic component 333 electrically connected between the conductive portions 332 .

The conductive portions 332 face the connecting jaws 25 in this embodiment, and can respectively contact the conductive sheets 251 after the cloth fixture 30 is installed.

The electronic component 333 can generate an identification information that matches the range of the sewing zone 321 . In the embodiment, the electronic component 333 is a resistor, and the identification information is a resistance value. The electronic component 333 faces away from the connection in this embodiment. The crucible 25 is located on the bottom surface of the substrate 331.

As shown in Figures 1, 3 and 4, in actual application, if the transmission platform 20 is to be used with a plurality of cloth fixtures 30 of different sizes, for example, the size of the cloth fixture 30 shown in Figure 4 is large, medium and small, respectively. As long as any cloth fixture 30 is mounted on the transmission platform 20, the control unit 26 of the transmission platform 20 electrically connects the electronic component 333 via the connection port 25, and simultaneously generates a corresponding voltage signal, and the control unit 26 receives the voltage. The signal indicates that the identification information is received, and according to the change of the identification information, the sewing program can automatically adjust the sewing operation without exceeding the sewing area 321 .

Therefore, since the identification information of the identification module 33 can directly reflect the range of the sewing area 321 defined by the cloth fixture 30, when used in combination with an automatic device such as a printer or an embroidery machine, the automation device can output the pattern. Compared with the size of the sewing area, the automatic prevention of the pattern from exceeding the sewing area 321 can be achieved, thereby increasing the output yield of the product and reducing the waste of the cloth.

It is worth mentioning that the electronic component 333 can also use a capacitor when it is actually used. The identification information is a capacitance value, and different signal changes are generated according to different capacitance values, thereby determining the size of the cloth fixture 30.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the scope of the present invention and the contents of the specification are all It is still within the scope of the invention patent.
