Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sewing machine noise reduction analysis, and particularly relates to a method for analyzing the noise of an overlock tape presser foot gap. Background Art

[0002] In the modern garment manufacturing industry, overlock sewing machines, as key equipment, are widely used in the edge sewing and hemming processes of various garments. Their efficient and stable performance has greatly improved the efficiency and quality of garment production. However, the noise generated by overlock sewing machines during the open-sewing process with the presser foot has caused significant problems for companies and garment factories, and has long been a pressing issue for the industry. The overlock presser foot open-sewing noise is primarily caused by high-frequency vibration and collisions of mechanical components when no load is applied. When the sewing machine is in the open-sewing mode, the presser foot comes into direct contact with components such as the feed dog and needle plate. Without the damping effect of the fabric, friction between moving parts increases, leading to resonance and impact noise. In the past five years, some companies have proposed solutions through patent portfolio development. For example, Zhejiang Duma Sewing Machine uses a spherical structure design to simplify the drive chain to reduce noise. Zhejiang Zhongbang Electromechanical has developed presser foot slow-down control technology to reduce collision impact. Qixing Technology has introduced a stepper motor drive system for digital presser foot control.

[0003] In existing technologies: The current industry analysis of gap noise is still at the qualitative observation stage:

[0004] 1. Subjective evaluation relies on manual effort: The amplitude of the presser foot's vibration is observed using a high-speed camera (1000fps) (with an error of ±0.08mm) and combined with subjective human scoring (on a 1-10 scale). This cannot accurately match the time-domain and frequency-domain characteristics of the noise signal.

[0005] 2. Single scenario isolated analysis: This analysis only focuses on the single operating condition of "no-load static start" or "constant speed gap", and does not focus on the resonance differences when switching between different tooth heights (three gears) and different tooth running trajectories;

[0006] However, there is a lack of technical means to analyze and find the real source of noise and the source of key parts of noise after mixing, resulting in the inability to overcome and improve it in a targeted manner and effectively reduce noise. The result is often blind vibration reduction of all components, which is costly and ineffective. Summary of the Invention

[0076] The following further describes the specific embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0077] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" and the like, indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate and simplify the description of the present invention.

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0078] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0079] Furthermore, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.

[0080] like Figure 1 A method for analyzing the gap noise of a seam tape presser foot comprises the following steps:

[0081] First, build the rigid body dynamics model of the presser foot mechanism and tooth feeding structure, such as Figure 2 、 3 As shown, it includes a handwheel 1, a main shaft 2, a main differential tooth frame 3, an eccentric shaft 4, a differential slider assembly 5, a differential crank 6, a cloth feed assembly 7, a lower knife seat 8, a needle plate spacer 9, a needle plate 10, a presser foot assembly 11, a presser bar assembly 12, a presser foot arm 13, a presser foot shaft 14, differential teeth 15, a main feed tooth 16, a tooth lifting slider 17, a main feed connecting rod 18, a main feed crank 19, and supporting components;

[0082] Assign material parameters to each part. The material parameters of the parts generally include Young's modulus E (describing the stiffness of the material), Poisson's ratio V (describing the degree of lateral contraction or expansion of the material when stretched or compressed) and material density P (describing the unit volume mass of the material).

[0083] The connection between parts is defined by adding kinematic pairs, primarily revolute pairs, cylindrical pairs, planar pairs, translation pairs, and fixed pairs. Accordingly, a typical kinematic mechanism also requires setting certain contact characteristics and external force loading. In the model presented here, the focus is on the noise generation mechanism when the presser foot is in a gap. The presser foot and teeth, as well as the presser foot and needle plate, will cyclically contact and collide during operation, so contact characteristics need to be established between them. This contact setting simulates actual collisions between parts during operation.

[0084] The Penalty Method is selected in combination with the Coulomb friction model to calculate the contact force, also known as the spring-damper model to simulate the contact force, and the contact process is regarded as the action of a virtual spring and damper. The elastic force simulates the restoring force generated by the deformation of the contact object (similar to Hooke's law); the damping force simulates the energy dissipation during the contact process (such as frictional heat generated during collision); the friction force is based on the Coulomb friction law, considering the static friction and kinetic friction stages.

[0085] Contact types also include point-to-surface contact: using discrete points to approximate the contact surface and calculate the penetration depth between the point and the surface; surface-to-surface contact: discretizing the contact surface into a grid (such as triangular elements) and calculating the penetration and contact force distribution between the elements;

[0086] The contact force Fcontact consists of two parts: normal force and tangential friction force;

[0087] The expression is:

[0088] Fcontact=Fn·n+Ft·t

[0089] n: contact surface normal unit vector;

[0090] t: tangential unit vector of the contact surface (direction opposite to relative sliding or trend).

[0091] According to the parameters required in the above calculation formula, when actually modeling, the appropriate values ​​are determined according to the geometric matching relationship and material properties of the two contacting parts. The needle plate, teeth, and presser foot bottom plate are all made of 20Cr. When setting the contact characteristics, the contact characteristics between steel and steel are selected, and the stiffness coefficient is set to 100000, the damping coefficient is set to 10, the dynamic friction coefficient is set to 0.2, the stiffness index is set to 1.5, the rebound damping coefficient is set to 0.25, and the maximum step size factor is set to 10. Contact is established between the presser foot bottom plate plane and the needle plate plane, and between the presser foot bottom plate plane and the main differential teeth.

[0092] The presser arm assembly contains a compression spring that applies force to the presser foot arm, ensuring that the presser foot is always in a state of pressing the fabric tightly when sewing. In dynamic modeling, a spring force is applied, and the spring stiffness coefficient, damping coefficient, and initial length of the spring are set. The software automatically detects the real-time change in the distance between the marking points at both ends of the spring force and calculates the spring force according to Hooke's law.

[0093] F=-k·x

[0094] F: elastic force exerted on the spring;

[0095] k: spring coefficient, reflecting the rigidity of the spring;

[0096] x: the deformation of the spring, i.e. the extension or compression (the initial length of the spring minus the actual distance between the two marking points of the spring during movement);

[0097] Minus sign (-): Indicates that the direction of the elastic force is opposite to the direction of the deformation (the direction of the spring's restoring force always points to the equilibrium position).

[0098] By adding a rotary drive to the main shaft and running the dynamic model of the presser foot mechanism, the contact forces between the presser foot base plane and the needle plate and the teeth can be obtained in the result file, such as Figure 4 、 5 As shown in the figure. The resulting curve shows that the contact force between the presser foot and the teeth is affected by the tooth shape and movement of the teeth, resulting in an irregular and relatively large impact force. The needle plate, which is fixed to the lower cutter block via a needle plate spacer, has a large contact surface between the presser foot and the needle plate, resulting in a relatively regular, periodic contact force. The analyzed overlock sewing machine has three adjustable tooth trajectory settings. The main differences between these settings are changes in tooth height and inclination, corresponding to thin, medium-heavy, and thick material sewing, respectively. A comparative kinematic force analysis under these three modes preliminarily determined that in the thin material sewing mode, the contact force between the presser foot and the needle plate is smaller than that between the presser foot and the teeth, with the primary noise contribution being the impact sound between the teeth and the presser foot. In the medium-heavy and thick material sewing modes, the contact force between the presser foot and the needle plate is greater, with the primary noise contribution being the sound of the presser foot striking the needle plate.

[0099] Figure 4 is the contact force between the presser foot and the needle plate, Figure 5 It is the contact force between the presser foot and the teeth.

[0100] Using a rigid-body dynamics model of the presser foot structure, we determined the contact and collision forces between the presser foot and the needle plate, and between the presser foot and the teeth. Further analysis established a finite element model of the presser foot base, making it flexible and incorporating it into the aforementioned dynamics model. This model determined the stress distribution of the presser foot during operation and identified the primary impact stress areas at different times. In this model, the presser foot base measures approximately 17mm by 50mm in length and width. Its 2D mesh size is set to 0.5mm triangular elements, and its 3D mesh type is a tetrahedral mesh. 20Cr material parameters are assigned, and rigid elements are established to define the interface points connecting the presser foot base finite element body and the presser foot frame.

[0101] After setting various parameters, the modal synthesis method is used to convert the finite element file of the presser foot sole into a modal neutral file, which is then imported into the rigid body dynamics model of the presser foot mechanism to replace the above-mentioned pure rigid body presser foot sole, thereby obtaining the rigid-flexible coupling dynamics model of the presser foot mechanism. The advantage of using the modal synthesis method is that the elastic deformation of the flexible body is decomposed into a series of modes, and the amount of calculation is reduced through modal coordinates. In addition, there is a finite element flexible body (FE-Flex), which is directly imported into the finite element mesh and is suitable for complex geometry and local stress analysis. Which flexible body modeling method to use needs to be determined based on the specific analysis conditions, taking into account both the accuracy of the results and the rationality of resources. In the rigid-flexible coupling dynamics model, we focus on the stress distribution area and changes of the presser foot sole, and select the modal synthesis method. The flexible body dynamics equation is mainly based on the Lagrange equation, and the motion of the flexible body is expressed as:

[0102] Mq¨+Cq˙+Kq=F+Fcontact

[0103] q: generalized coordinate vector (including rigid body position / attitude and elastic modal coordinates)

[0104] M: mass matrix

[0105] C: damping matrix;

[0106] K: Stiffness matrix

[0107] F: external force (such as gravity, driving force);

[0108] Fcontact: contact force

[0109] The most commonly used rigid-flexible contact mechanics model is an extension of the Hertz-Mindlin model, where Fn = kn·δp + cn·δ˙ (δ>0). The key is the value of δ, which is the depth of penetration of the flexible body node into the rigid body surface (calculated by the contact detection algorithm).

[0110] When building a rigid-flexible coupling dynamic model, the initial contact state between the presser foot sole and the teeth and needle plate must ensure that no penetration occurs.

[0111] When establishing contact for a rigid-flexible coupling model, set the Maximum Penetration value to within 0.3.

[0112] By running the rigid-flexible coupling dynamic model, the stress distribution of the presser foot sole when it collides with the needle plate and teeth during operation is obtained, and the vibration displacement response and vibration velocity response of the presser foot sole surface are obtained.

[0113] Figure 6 This is the maximum stress cloud diagram of the presser foot during one operating cycle, and the maximum stress is 134.3 MPa;

[0114] Figure 7 This is the displacement cloud diagram caused by the collision and knocking of the presser foot sole during operation;

[0115] Figure 8 It is the speed response curve of the presser foot at a point in operation.

[0116] Sound power is proportional to the square of the vibration velocity. The greater the speed response, the more sound energy is radiated per unit time and the stronger the sound.

[0117] Therefore, at the same frequency, the greater the velocity response, the greater the sound intensity and the louder the sound. For areas with large velocity response, it is necessary to design and add damping materials to reduce their vibration response.

[0118] After the presser foot sole is made flexible, surface vibration sound radiation (ERP) is a very useful method for analyzing vibration sound. The vibrating surface is used as the sound source, and its normal velocity directly determines the sound radiation intensity.

[0119] According to acoustic theory, the normal velocity distribution vn(r, t) of the vibrating surface and the radiated sound pressure p(r, t) satisfy the Rayleigh Integral relationship:

[0120]

[0121] Where ρ0 is the medium density, ω is the angular frequency, k is the wave number, and S is the vibrating surface area.

[0122] Figure 9 It is the surface vibration acoustic radiation ERP cloud diagram of the presser foot sole, which shows that during operation, the vibration response of the front end of the presser foot sole is the most obvious.

[0123] Theoretically, the mechanism by which parts produce sound during collisions is the conversion of mechanical energy into acoustic energy. This involves the coupling of multiple physical fields, including solid vibration, acoustic radiation, and energy transfer, encompassing multiple links: contact mechanics, structural vibration, and acoustic radiation. The core mechanisms include elastic modal excitation: the collision force drives the structure to vibrate at its natural frequency; nonlinear effects: contact / friction nonlinearities introduce harmonic components; energy transfer: vibration energy is converted into acoustic energy through damping dissipation and acoustic radiation; and environmental coupling: acoustic propagation and reflection in the medium further modulate the acoustic characteristics. In engineering, noise suppression can be achieved through modal frequency avoidance, increased damping, and optimized contact interfaces. Through the above finite element and dynamic analyses of the presser foot mechanism, the impact force magnitude and stress distribution characteristics of the presser foot during operation were identified. The main noise contributors to the three-speed adjustable gear were compared, and feasible noise reduction solutions were identified. Simultaneously, professional noise testing equipment was used to collect the overall noise of the presser foot when it was not in the gap. Through narrowband spectrum analysis, 1 / 3 octave band analysis, and colormap analysis, the primary frequency contribution to the presser foot impact noise was determined to be between 600-2000Hz.

[0124] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 10 The noise spectrum comparison chart of the machine with the presser foot in the gap and in the no-load state verifies that the impact noise has the characteristics of a wide bandwidth and rich high-frequency components, and the amplitude and duration of the structural vibration directly determine the noise intensity. High-frequency vibrations are more easily absorbed by damping materials because the friction between molecules is more intense at high frequencies. The function of the damping material is to absorb this energy during the vibration transmission process, reducing the amplitude and duration of the vibration, thereby reducing the noise. Therefore, damping materials are more effective in this regard. Different damping materials have different effects on vibrations of different frequencies. For wide-band noise, a composite structure of multiple damping materials can be used to better cover noise reduction in various frequency bands. The core parameter for measuring the energy dissipation capacity of a material is the loss factor of the damping material. The larger the η, the more efficient the energy conversion into heat energy. Wide-temperature viscoelastic polymer damping materials with an η of 0.5 or above are selected.

[0125] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, according to the analysis results, a reasonable presser foot structure is designed, a multi-layer damping composite material is matched, and the damping peak frequency bands of different materials are superimposed to achieve broadband noise reduction; wherein the presser foot component structure is as follows Figure 11 As shown, the detailed structure of the presser foot bottom plate is as follows Figure 12As shown. The main material of the presser foot bottom plate is 20CrMo, and its tail end is the area in direct contact with the main feed teeth and auxiliary teeth. During the entire movement process, the front half of the main feed teeth and the back half of the differential teeth are in contact with the presser foot the most. Secondly, the main feed teeth are the first to contact the presser foot, so the presser foot and the main feed teeth are more worn. A composite material filling area Ⅰ11-3-1 is designed here, and the filling depth is 1.5mm; the tail end of the presser foot bottom plate is connected to the wire pressing plate 11-2 through the threaded hole Ⅰ11-3-2, and the area next to it is the bending needle avoidance groove 11-3-4; the U-shaped groove 11-3-3 is the joint between the presser foot and the presser foot frame to ensure that the presser foot bottom plate is in a state of flexible rotation during work; the composite material filling area Ⅱ11-3-5 is designed The front area where the presser foot plate contacts the differential teeth is designed, and this is where stress on the presser foot plate is most concentrated during operation. The filling depth is 1.5mm. The presser foot claw 11-4 is secured to the presser foot plate 11-3 via threaded hole II 11-3-6, and the auxiliary presser foot 11-5 is secured to the presser foot plate 11-3 via threaded hole III 11-3-7. The front end of the presser foot plate features an arcuate surface to guide the fabric through smoothly and reduce resistance during sewing. Composite material filling area III 11-3-8 is designed, with a filling depth of 1.5mm. The presser foot plate includes three composite material filling areas, cleverly designed at the front, middle, and back of the plate. This effectively reduces the noise caused by high-frequency vibrations that occur when the presser foot periodically collides with the needle plate and teeth during operation.

[0126] The present invention uses professional simulation analysis methods to build a finite element model and a dynamic model of the presser foot mechanism module of the overlock sewing machine, obtains the contact force of the presser foot colliding with the needle plate and the contact force of the presser foot colliding with the teeth during operation, and determines the main noise contribution mechanism of the machine under three different tooth trajectory modes; further, the presser foot sole is made flexible, so as to understand the rigidity of the presser foot sole and determine whether resonance occurs in the presser foot sole during operation, resulting in energy surge and increased noise value; and according to the vibration response of the presser foot surface during operation, a damping embedded structure scheme for the presser foot sole is formulated;

[0127] At the same time, professional noise detection equipment is used to collect and analyze presser foot noise, identify the noise contribution spectrum characteristics, and lock the broadband spectrum of the presser foot impact noise to 600-2000Hz. In this way, a presser foot with a composite structure of multiple damping materials with better vibration absorption effect that matches this frequency range is designed.

[0128] In summary, this invention aims to locate the noise source of sewing equipment and identify the key response areas of noise source components. Through analysis and location, it identifies target areas for improvement. Furthermore, by targeting frequency bands and matching composite noise-reducing damping materials, it achieves precise and efficient noise reduction. This invention uses simulation technology to deeply analyze the overlock seam noise from the perspective of noise generation, identifying the main noise-contributing components and the noise-contributing frequency bands. This allows for the design of a more reasonable and effective presser foot noise reduction solution.

[0129] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
