The invention relates to a thread take-up mechanism of a
sewing machine, a driving guide groove is formed in the middle of a thread take-up lever, the driving guide groove is a long-strip-shaped driving guide groove in the length direction of the thread take-up lever, a roller at the output end of a driving
cam is contained in the driving guide groove, and the roller can roll in the driving guide groove in the length direction of the driving guide groove; one end part of the take-up lever is pivoted on the
machine head shell through a pivoting part, the free end of the take-up lever penetrates out of a guide groove in the
machine head shell, a thread guide hole is formed in the part, on the outer side of the
machine head shell, of the free end, and the driving
cam is connected with a needle bar driving device through a transmission mechanism; under the condition that the speed of the driving mechanism and the speed of the needle rod are not changed, the take-up and pay-off speed of the take-up mechanism can change along with the height change of the needle rod, especially the speed is gradually increased during final take-up, and equivalently, a tensioning action is generated on an upper thread, so that the stitched stitch is tight and more attractive.
