In the following detailed description of embodiments of the invention, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known features have not been described in detail to avoid unnecessarily complicating the description.


Throughout the application, ordinal numbers (e.g., first, second, third, etc.) may be used as an adjective for an element (i.e., any noun in the application). The use of ordinal numbers does not imply or create a particular ordering of the elements or limit any element to being only a single element unless expressly disclosed, such as by the use of the terms “before,” “after,” “single,” and other such terminology. Rather, the use of ordinal numbers is to distinguish between the elements. By way of an example, a first element is distinct from a second element, and the first element may encompass more than one element and succeed (or precede) the second element in an ordering of elements.


In the following description of FIGS. 1-65, any component described with regard to a figure, in various embodiments of the invention, may be equivalent to one or more like-named components described with regard to any other figure. For brevity, descriptions of these components will not be repeated with regard to each figure. Thus, each and every embodiment of the components of each figure is incorporated by reference and assumed to be optionally present within every other figure having one or more like-named components. Additionally, in accordance with various embodiments of the invention, any description of the components of a figure is to be interpreted as an optional embodiment which may be implemented in addition to, in conjunction with, or in place of the embodiments described with regard to a corresponding like-named component in any other figure.


It is to be understood that the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a horizontal beam” includes reference to one or more of such beams.


Terms such as “approximately,” “substantially,” etc., mean that the recited characteristic, parameter, or value need not be achieved exactly, but that deviations or variations, including for example, tolerances, measurement error, measurement accuracy limitations and other factors known to those of skill in the art, may occur in amounts that do not preclude the effect the characteristic was intended to provide.


It is to be understood that, one or more of the steps shown in the flowcharts may be omitted, repeated, and/or performed in a different order than the order shown. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should not be considered limited to the specific arrangement of steps shown in the flowcharts.

According to one embodiment, the loading mechanism 149 includes three rolls, two rolls are used for loading, the two-layer cloth after being loaded enters a roll welding device and starts to be processed, waste cloth after tailoring of a tailoring device enters a collecting roll. A motor of the driving mechanism 1412 is used for driving the roll welding die 1411 to rotate, the roll welding die 1411 and the welding die head 1413 keep a compression state, when the cloth passes, the required sleeve shape is formed through roll welding, and the cloth is transferred forwards. When the two-layer cloth after being loaded by the loading device 149 passes the roll welding die 1411, the driving mechanism 1412 is used for driving the roll welding die 1411 to rotate, convex knurls are formed on the roll welding die 1411 and touch the welding die head 1413 at the bottom, and when the two-layer sleeve cloth passes, the ⅔ length of a total sleeve in the length direction is welded in the length direction of the two sides of the sleeve (the ⅔ length of the sleeve is welded here for the purpose that in the sleeve welding device, the sleeve is sucked up successfully by a sleeve suction clamping mechanism arm and is inserted into body cloth.). According to one embodiment, the driving mechanism 1412 is provided with a controller (such as a programmable logic controller (PLC)) and a servo motor. The PLC can be used for calculating the moving distance and the welding length of the cloth by adopting an encoder of the servo motor.


The ⅔ length of the sleeve is welded here, and the remaining ⅓ length (the connecting position of the sleeve and the body) of the sleeve in the length direction of the sleeve is welded (ultrasonic roll welding) in the device 7 for welding the remaining length of the sleeve of a body machine.

In one or more embodiments, the reserved opening may be ⅓ of the length of the sleeve. In another embodiment, the process of moving the sleeves to the welding positions, opening the sleeves, and inserting the sleeves into the body clothing may be performed by a pneumatic clamping arm mechanism During the process, the right side liftable transmission belt 65 and the left side liftable transmission belt 66 move downwards for the purpose that the movement of the sleeve suction clamping mechanical anns is not affected. When the sleeves to the welding positions, the right side liftable transmission belt 65 and the left side liftable transmission belt 66 move upwards to realize a support work for the sleeves. The two belts may have the following functions of a liftable function, a function of ensuring the sleeves to be transferred forwards and a support function, wherein mainly when the sleeve suction clamping mechanical anns move to the positions, the belts move downwards, so as not to affect the sleeve suction clamping mechanical arms to pull the sleeves to move to the welding positions. If the sleeves are not supported by the belts on the two sides, the sleeves may drop, so as to affect forward transmission and finally affect the sleeves to enter the cloth folder 11 and before the sleeves enter the cloth folder 11, the sleeves and the body part are ensured to be leveled in a same horizontal plane.

In reality, when apparel components are moving along the assembly direction at various stages, it is important to make sure the clothes do not drift from the designated moving direction; otherwise the seaming and welding processes may be of error. In some embodiments, the system uses a processor and a sensor that monitors the transmission of the clothes on transmission belts and/or via guide rollers. In response to the sensor detecting a cloth is drifting from a designated moving direction, the processor controls the transmission belt to move the cloth back to the designated moving direction. The processor also controls the speed of the guide rollers to be the same to keep various stages of manufacturing in sync. Moreover, the guide rollers in the system are all in parallel to each other and perpendicular to the assembly direction.


In addition, because the sleeves are made in parallel to the body assembly line, the sleeve makers each have a sleeve moving platform that moves the sleeves to the sleeve welding device. The sleeves nay be very light and thin, so it is important to keep the sleeves from being displaced. To this end, the sleeve moving platform includes a plurality of vacuum suction cups that suck the sleeves. The sleeve moving platform also includes a pressure sensor that detects whether the sleeves are fastened to the vacuum suction cups. When the pressure sensor detects that the sleeves are fastened, the mechanical arms of the left and right sleeve feeders pick up the sleeves and start the welding process.
