The invention discloses a mechanical button sewing machine. The mechanical button sewing machine comprises a button loading plate, a machine head which can move along the button loading machine and a handle; the machine head comprises a button pressing mechanism, a nail penetrating mechanism, and a nail bending mechanism; the button pressing mechanism comprises a press head, a press head supporting plate and a left turning block; the nail penetrating mechanism comprises a nail penetrating hammer, a nail penetrating oscillating bar, a nail penetrating connection rod, and a right turning block; the nail bending mechanism comprises a rivet plate, a rivet connection rod, a triangular turning block, and a nail bending push rod; and the handle comprises a left handle and a right handle; and the left handle is fixedly connected with the left turning block in an eccentric way. In the mechanical button sewing machine, the left tuning block and the right turning block which are provided with curved chutes are adopted, and the left and right turning blocks are driven by the left and right handles to rotate to drive a travelling mechanism, the button pressing mechanism, the nail penetrating mechanism and the nail bending mechanism, so that the functions of penetrating, bending and pressing the nail can be realized at one position sequentially, and simultaneously, the button can be sewed by the travelling mechanism at an interval of a plurality of belt buttons; and the buttons are not needed to be sewed sequentially, and the button can be sewed on a belt accurately and firmly.
