[0025] Example 1

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3, which is the first embodiment of the present utility model, provides an L-shaped sewing device, including a frame 100, a limit block 200 and an L-shaped needle group 300; the frame 100 is used to install the limit block 200 and the L-shaped needle group 300; the limit block 200 is used to adjust the movement trajectory of the L-shaped needle column 300 and adapt to the special shape of the L-shaped needle; the L-shaped needle column is used for sewing thick fabrics.

[0027] Specifically, the frame 100 includes a back panel 101, a side panel 102 and a bottom panel 103. The back panel 101 and the side panel 102 are vertically arranged, the bottom panel 103 is horizontally arranged, and there are two side panels 102, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the back panel 101.

[0028] Preferably, two limit blocks 200 are provided, and the two limit blocks 200 are respectively set on the two side plates 102 by bolts, and the projections of the two limit blocks 200 on the side plates 102 coincide with each other. An arc groove 201 is opened on the limit block 200, and the arc groove 210 converts the vertical movement of the L-shaped needle group 300 into an arc motion.

[0029] Preferably, the L-shaped needle assembly 300 includes a sliding shaft 301 and an L-shaped needle 302 , wherein the sliding shaft 301 is slidably connected to the arcuate groove 201 ; the vertical movement of the L-shaped needle assembly 300 is converted into an arcuate movement through the sliding fit between the sliding shaft 301 and the arcuate groove 201 .

[0030] Preferably, the angle between the upper end point and the lower end point in the contour direction of the arc groove 201 and the line connecting the center of the arc groove 201 is 90°, which is adapted to the special shape of the L-shaped needle 302. When the sliding shaft 301 slides to the end of the arc groove 201, the needle tip 302a of the L-shaped needle 302 is just transformed from a horizontal state to a state perpendicular to the fabric plane.

[0031] When the sliding shaft 301 moves closer to the fabric along the contour direction of the arc groove 201, the needle tip 302a of the L-shaped needle 302 gradually penetrates the fabric; and when the sliding shaft 301 slides to the end of the arc groove 201, the needle tip 302a of the L-shaped needle 302 is perpendicular to the fabric plane.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] See Figures 1 to 3, which is the second embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, except that the angles between the upper and lower end points of the arc groove 201 in the contour direction and the line connecting the center of the arc groove 201 are 95°. When the sliding shaft 301 slides to the end of the arc groove 201, the needle tip 302a of the L-shaped needle 302 can also complete the transformation from a horizontal state to a state perpendicular to the fabric plane and pierce the fabric.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] See Figures 1 to 3 , which is the third embodiment of the present utility model, and this embodiment is based on embodiment 1 or embodiment 2.

[0036] Specifically, it also includes a reference plane A, the central axis of the needle column 302b of the L-shaped needle 302 coincides with the reference plane A, the needle tip 302a is located on one side of the reference plane A, and the center of the arc groove 201 and 302a are located on the same side of the reference plane A; this setting is to make the arc movement of the L-shaped needle group 300 and the arc movement of the needle tip 302a of the L-shaped needle 302 in the same direction and synchronously.

[0037] Preferably, the upper end point of the arc-shaped groove 201 in the contour direction is located on the reference plane A, thereby maximizing the utilization space of the arc-shaped groove 201 .

[0038] Preferably, the L-shaped needle group 300 also includes a pressure rod 303 and a connecting block 304, the pressure rod 303 is arranged vertically, the connecting block 304 is arranged horizontally, the pressure rod 303 passes through the connecting block 304, and the pressure rod 303 is threadedly connected to the connecting block 304; there are two sliding shafts 301, and the two sliding shafts 301 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the connecting block 304, and the sliding shafts 301 are threadedly connected to the connecting block 304.

[0039] Preferably, the L-shaped needle group 300 also includes an intermediate block 305 and a track shaft 306. The intermediate block 305 is connected to the pressure rod 303 by a threaded connection, and the intermediate block 305 and the pressure rod 303 move synchronously; the track shaft 306 is horizontally arranged, and a sliding block 307 is slidably installed on the track shaft 306. A connecting key 308 is provided between the sliding block 307 and the intermediate block 305, and the two ends of the connecting key 308 are rotatably connected to the sliding block 307 and the intermediate block 305 respectively; the sliding block 307 can slide left and right on the track shaft 306, and the sliding block 307 can also be connected through the connecting key 308, so that the intermediate block 305 and the sliding block 307 move synchronously.

[0040] Preferably, the L-shaped needle assembly 300 further includes a clamping block 309, which is fixedly connected to a sliding block 307. The sliding block 307 can drive the clamping block 309 to slide left and right. Two clamping blocks 309 are provided, and the L-shaped needle 302 is positioned between the two clamping blocks 309. The two clamping blocks 309 cooperate to tighten the L-shaped needle 302. Initially, the L-shaped needle 302 is tightened. When the two clamping blocks 309 move apart, the L-shaped needle 302 is relaxed, allowing axial movement.

[0041] Preferably, in the process of the needle tip of the L-shaped needle 302 gradually penetrating into the fabric, when the resistance to the needle tip penetration becomes greater and the penetration is blocked, the middle block 305 can drive the two clamping blocks 309 through the connecting key 308 and the sliding block 307 to release the tightening state of the L-shaped needle 302, and the L-shaped needle 302 can move axially relative to the clamping block 309. When the L-shaped needle 302 is relaxed, it is easier to pass through the fabric. If the L-shaped needle 302 is tightened, it may be more difficult to pass through due to friction with the fabric, especially when the fabric is thicker or denser; if the L-shaped needle 302 tries to pass through thick fabric in a tightened state, it may bend or break due to resistance. By loosening the L-shaped needle 302 first, this risk can be reduced; and different fabrics and sewing conditions may require different needle tightness. By designing a tightening block 309 to loosen the L-shaped needle 302, the machine can adapt to a wider range of sewing conditions. In addition, loosening the L-shaped needle 302 can provide a mechanism that allows the operator to adjust the tightness of the L-shaped needle 302 according to the thickness of the fabric and the desired sewing effect.

[0042] Example 4

[0043] See Figures 1 to 3 , which is the fourth embodiment of the present invention, and is based on the above embodiment. This embodiment provides a sewing method.

[0044] S100: The bottom plate 103 at the bottom of the frame 100 is in contact with the surface of the fabric;

[0045] S200: The L-shaped needle assembly 300 moves toward the fabric, and the needle head of the L-shaped needle 302 gradually penetrates the fabric. At this time, the clamping block 309 is in a state of tightening the L-shaped needle 302;

[0046] S201: When the resistance of the needle head of the L-shaped needle 302 in the fabric becomes greater, the connecting key 308 and the sliding block 307 drive the two clamping blocks 309 to release the tightening state of the L-shaped needle 302;

[0047] S202: The L-shaped needle assembly 300 continues to move toward the fabric, and the needle head of the L-shaped needle 302 continues to penetrate the fabric;

[0048] S300: When the sliding shaft 301 slides to the end of the arc-shaped groove 201, the needle tip 302a of the L-shaped needle 302 pierces the fabric and is perpendicular to the fabric plane;

[0049] S400: Lift the pressing rod 303, the clamping block 309 re-tightens the L-shaped needle 302, and drives the L-shaped needle 302 to be pulled out from the fabric, completing one sewing operation;

[0050] S500: Repeat the above sewing process.

[0051] Based on the above, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0052] 1. By adopting L-shaped needles instead of existing straight needles, thick fabrics can be sewn.

[0053] 2. First, the design of the curved groove 201 allows the sliding shaft 301 to move non-linearly within it. This allows the sliding shaft 301 to move along a smooth, curved path rather than a simple straight line. This motion helps the L-shaped needle 302 penetrate the fabric in a manner more consistent with its shape. Since the puncture path of the L-shaped needle 302 is not a completely straight line, the curved groove 201 provides the necessary guidance, ensuring that the L-shaped needle 302 penetrates the fabric at the optimal angle and force.

[0054] Furthermore, the design of the arcuate groove 201 helps reduce friction and resistance during the penetration process of the L-shaped needle 302. The curved path allows the L-shaped needle 302 to penetrate thick fabrics more smoothly, reducing direct friction between the L-shaped needle 302 and the fabric, thereby reducing the risk of needle breakage and improving sewing efficiency.

[0055] In summary, the design of the arcuate groove 201 not only perfectly matches the shape and motion trajectory of the L-shaped needle 302, but also provides the necessary technical support for achieving efficient, precise and durable sewing operations.

[0056] It is important to note that the construction and arrangement of the present application shown in a number of different exemplary embodiments are merely illustrative.

For example, an element shown as integrally formed may be composed of multiple parts or elements, the position of the element may be inverted or otherwise changed, and the nature or number or position of the discrete elements may be altered or changed. Therefore, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
