Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sewing machines and relates to a presser foot structure of a multi-needle sewing machine. Background Art

[0002] A sewing machine is a machine that uses one or more sewing threads to form one or more stitches on the sewing material to interweave or sew one or more layers of sewing material. With the development of sewing technology and the improvement of sewing machine manufacturing level, there are more and more types of sewing machines.

[0003] Among them, the multi-needle sewing machine is a sewing machine that can sew several lines of stitches at the same time. It has multiple needles. The multi-needle sewing machine is widely used in decorative sewing. According to the number of needles, the multi-needle sewing machine has 3 needles, 4 needles, 6 needles, 9 needles, 12 needles, 16 needles, 21 needles, 24 needles, 25 needles, 33 needles, 38 needles, and 50 needles. The multi-needle sewing machine can realize pleating, tucking, elastic wrinkling and other functions with auxiliary devices.

[0004] At present, since multi-needle machines have more needles and the width of the processing area is relatively large, the presser foot of the multi-needle machine is designed to be wider than the presser foot of an ordinary sewing machine. For example, the presser foot structure in the multi-needle lockstitch sewing machine disclosed in Chinese patent CN103510277B is prone to uneven pressure when applying pressing force to the cloth due to the large width required for pressure application, which may cause the cloth to loosen or not be pressed firmly. Moreover, the presser foot cannot adapt to and adjust the pressing force for cloth of different thicknesses. Therefore, the presser foot of the existing multi-needle machine is prone to unreliable and unstable pressing during the pressing process, thereby affecting the sewing quality of the multi-needle machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above problems in the prior art and to propose a presser foot structure for a multi-needle machine. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is how to improve the sewing quality of the multi-needle machine.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a presser foot structure of a multi-needle machine, comprising a connecting seat and a presser foot plate with multiple needle holes, characterized in that the presser foot structure also includes a presser foot bracket fixedly connected to the connecting seat, the presser foot plate is located below the presser foot bracket and both side edges of the presser foot plate are hingedly connected to the presser foot bracket, a torsion spring is provided between the presser foot plate and the presser foot bracket, the bottom surface of the presser foot plate is inclined relative to the horizontal plane in the front and rear directions and is higher in the front and lower in the back, and the presser foot plate can swing relative to the presser foot bracket and be reset by the elastic force of the torsion spring.

[0007] The presser foot structure of the multi-needle machine changes the original existing connection structure in which the presser foot is directly fixedly connected to the connecting seat, so that the presser foot can swing relatively and has mechanical elasticity, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the reliability of pressing materials. Specifically, the presser foot structure of the multi-needle machine is provided with a presser foot bracket, which is fixedly connected to the connecting seat on the one hand, and hingedly connected to the presser foot on the other hand, so that the presser foot can swing relative to the presser foot bracket. At the same time, by arranging a torsion spring between the presser foot and the presser foot bracket, the presser foot is reset by the elastic force of the torsion spring. Conversely, when the presser foot needs to swing, it also needs to overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring in order to swing. In other words, through this design, the presser foot can swing and has mechanical elasticity, and because the bottom surface of the presser foot is inclined relative to the horizontal plane in the front-to-back direction in the initial state of the presser foot and is higher in the front and lower in the back, this design allows the presser foot to press down the fabric. At this time, the rear end of the presser foot will be subjected to force and swing first. At this time, the presser foot can use the elastic force of the torsion spring to apply a pre-tightening force to the cloth, so that the presser foot can provide an appropriate elastic pre-tightening force according to the thickness of the cloth when pressing the cloth. In this way, the presser foot structure can better press the cloth, making it less likely for the cloth to loosen and press it more firmly. At the same time, since the presser foot of the multi-needle machine is wider, the two sides of the presser foot are hinged to the presser foot bracket, so that the connection of the presser foot is more stable, which is further conducive to the presser foot providing a stable pressing force. Therefore, through the presser foot structure designed as above, the cloth can be better pressed, thereby effectively improving the sewing quality of the multi-needle machine.

[0008] In the presser foot structure of the multi-needle machine, the presser foot bracket includes a strip-shaped body and vertical ears located at both ends of the body and extending vertically, and the two sides of the presser foot plate are respectively provided with hinge seats corresponding to the vertical ears, and the hinge seats are hingedly connected to the corresponding vertical ears. Through the above design of the presser foot bracket and the presser foot plate structure, the connection structure of the presser foot plate is more stable, which is conducive to the output of a stable and reliable pressing force by the presser foot, providing better pressing for the fabric, and thus improving the sewing quality of the multi-needle machine.

[0009] In the presser foot structure of the multi-needle machine, both sides of the presser foot plate are hinged to the presser foot bracket through a hinge pin, the hinge pin passes through the vertical ear and the hinge seat on the corresponding side in sequence, and the torsion spring is sleeved on the hinge pin and located between the vertical ear and the hinge seat. Through the above design, the torsion spring is installed and protected between the vertical ear and the hinge seat, so that the torsion spring is not easily disturbed and elastically fails, which is conducive to improving the reliability of the use of the presser foot, so that the presser foot can reliably and stably press the fabric, and improve the sewing quality of the multi-needle machine.

[0010] In the presser foot structure of the multi-needle machine, the two ends of the torsion spring are respectively pressed against the upper surface of the presser foot. Through the installation arrangement of the torsion spring, the torsion spring can apply elastic preload to the presser foot to prevent the presser foot from swinging up and down relative to the presser foot bracket, so that the presser foot has mechanical elasticity, thereby achieving the purpose of improving sewing quality.

[0011] As another solution, in the presser foot structure of the multi-needle machine, one end of the torsion spring is pressed against the upper surface of the presser foot plate, and the other end is clamped on the side of the presser foot plate. Through the installation arrangement of the torsion spring, the torsion spring can apply elastic pre-tightening force to the presser foot plate to prevent the presser foot plate from swinging up and down relative to the presser foot bracket, so that the presser foot plate has mechanical elasticity, thereby achieving the purpose of improving sewing quality.

[0012] As another solution, in the presser foot structure of the multi-needle machine, the two ends of the torsion spring are respectively clamped on the side of the presser foot plate. Through the installation arrangement of the torsion spring, the torsion spring can apply elastic pre-tightening force to the presser foot plate to prevent the presser foot plate from swinging up and down relative to the presser foot bracket, so that the presser foot plate has mechanical elasticity, thereby achieving the purpose of improving sewing quality.

[0013] In the presser foot structure of the multi-needle machine, the connecting seat is provided with a waist-shaped connecting hole, a screw is arranged in the connecting hole, and the presser foot bracket is fixedly connected to the connecting seat by the screw. The waist-shaped connecting hole design facilitates the installation and adjustment of the presser foot bracket.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the presser foot structure of the multi-needle machine has the following advantages: the presser foot structure is simple, reasonable and stable, the presser foot plate has mechanical elasticity, can provide stable and reliable pressing force for fabrics of different thicknesses, the fabric is not easy to loosen, the pressing effect is good, and the sewing quality of the multi-needle machine is greatly improved.
