This application relates to a thread breakage detection device, a
sewing machine, and a thread breakage control method for sewing equipment. The thread breakage detection device includes: a detection component for detecting the thread breakage state and generating a breakage
signal accordingly; a first drive component including a
sewing machine spindle and a spindle motor connected in a transmission relationship, the spindle motor stopping upon receiving the breakage
signal; and a second drive component including a fabric feeding mechanism driven by the
sewing machine spindle and a needle
pitch adjustment motor for changing the transmission relationship between the sewing
machine spindle and the fabric feeding mechanism, the needle
pitch adjustment motor changing the needle
pitch accordingly based on the breakage
signal. This application, by having the needle pitch adjustment motor change the needle pitch according to the breakage signal, ensures that the needle only penetrates the existing needle eye on the fabric, avoiding fabric damage and waste. It has advantages such as good adaptability, fast response, simple structure, and high production efficiency.
