Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to zipper sewing, in particular to a sewing mechanism for sewing a zipper and cutting a base fabric. Background Art

[0002] When a zipper is manufactured, the zipper head is connected to the two chain straps, and the chain teeth on the two chain straps fit together. When the two chain straps need to be sewn together with the base fabric, the zipper head must first be removed from the zipper, and then the base fabric and zipper tape must be stacked together. After that, the zipper tape and base fabric are connected using a sewing machine, and the base fabric is slit with a slit knife. Finally, the zipper head is connected to the two chain straps. The sewing method of the zipper and base fabric requires removing the zipper head first, sewing, and then installing the zipper head, resulting in slow and inefficient connection of the zipper and base fabric. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the existing technical defects, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a sewing mechanism for sewing a zipper and cutting a base fabric to solve the above technical problems.

[0004] The technical solutions adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problems are as follows:

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a sewing mechanism for sewing a zipper and cutting a base fabric is designed, comprising:

[0006] The needle plate is provided with a receiving groove for receiving and guiding the zipper head to move laterally, and is provided with two receiving holes located at the front and rear sides of the receiving groove;

[0007] The cloth feeding frame has two cloth feeding blocks with feed teeth on the top at the upper end, and the two cloth feeding blocks extend into the two receiving holes respectively;

[0008] The first presser foot stand has two inner presser feet, and the two inner presser feet are correspondingly arranged above the two cloth feeding blocks;

[0009] A needle seat is provided with two needles, and the two needles correspond to the first through holes on the two inner presser feet and the second through holes on the two cloth feed blocks in a vertical direction;

[0010] The slitting knife is arranged above the accommodating groove and located between the two inner presser feet. The slitting knife is connected to a driving component that drives it to move up and down. When the driving component drives the slitting knife to move downward, the slitting knife can extend into the accommodating groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the base fabric and the zipper need to be sewn together, one end of the zipper is laid on the top surface of the needle plate, the zipper head on the zipper is placed in the receiving groove, and the base fabric is placed on the top of the zipper, and the base fabric and zipper are pushed to the left to move. After the left end of the base fabric and the zipper are moved to under the slit knife, the base fabric is pressed by two inner presser feet, and the driving assembly drives the slit knife to move down to pierce the base fabric, and the fabric is fed to the left through the feed block on the feed rack. At the same time, the base fabric and the zipper tape are sewn together by two needles. The base fabric and the zipper tape are sewn and moved to the left, and the slit knife slits the base fabric that has moved to the left, thereby achieving the goal of not removing the zipper head when sewing the zipper and the base fabric, thereby improving the sewing speed and processing efficiency of the base fabric and the zipper; in addition to accommodating the zipper head, the receiving groove can also guide the zipper to move laterally to ensure the straightness of the sewing line and improve the sewing effect.

[0012] In order to better solve the above technical defects, the present invention also has a better technical solution:

[0013] In some embodiments, a limiting gap is provided on the top of the needle plate for the zipper tape to pass through. The limiting gap can make the top surface of the base fabric needle plate closely fit, thereby ensuring the sewing effect.

[0014] In some embodiments, the second presser foot stand is further provided with two outer presser feet, and the two inner presser feet are correspondingly arranged in the receiving openings of the two outer presser feet. Thus, the inner presser feet can exert a better pressing effect on the base fabric and the zipper, further ensuring the sewing effect of both.

[0015] In some embodiments, the needle plate is provided with a passage opening that connects the right end of the receiving groove to the outside and is used for passage of the zipper elements. The left end of the receiving groove is connected to the outside. The passage opening not only allows the zipper elements to be positioned away from the needle plate, allowing the zipper tape and base fabric to be laid flat on top of the needle plate, preventing the zipper and base fabric from tilting at the right end of the needle plate, but also guides the lateral movement of the zipper elements, ensuring the straightness of the sewing line between the base fabric and the zipper, further improving the sewing effect.

[0016] In some embodiments, a limiting partition is provided on top of the needle plate, forming the limiting gap between the limiting partition and the needle plate. A limiting plate is provided at the left end of the limiting partition, extending between the two inner presser feet. The limiting plate is provided with a through-hole for the lower end of the slitting blade to pass through. The limiting plate improves sewing quality by preventing the zipper tape from arching after passing through the limiting gap. This arching of the zipper tape can affect the quality of the sewing process between the zipper and the base fabric tape, and may even result in the zipper being scrapped. Furthermore, the limiting partition blocks the right end of the blade bar and the slitting blade from descending too far, preventing the slitting blade from descending too far and damaging the zipper.

[0017] In some embodiments, the driving assembly includes a knife rod and a driving member for driving the knife rod to move, and the slitting knife is mounted on the knife rod.

[0018] In some embodiments, the knife rod is rotatably engaged with the base via a pin shaft, and the driving member is installed at the left end of the base and is drivably connected to the knife rod to drive the left end of the knife rod to move up and down, thereby linking the slitting knife at the right end of the knife rod to move up and down.

[0019] In some embodiments, the driving member is a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or an electric push rod.

[0020] In some embodiments, the driving member includes a cylinder and a tension spring. The cylinder is installed at the left end of the base and is driven and connected to the left end of the knife rod. The upper end of the tension spring is connected to the base, and the lower end is connected to the knife rod and is in a stretched state. A limiting member is connected to the left end of the knife rod. When the left end of the knife rod is driven upward, the limiting member abuts against the cylinder or the base to limit the descending height of the slitting knife at the right end of the knife rod.

[0021] In some embodiments, a wedge-shaped block is provided at the right end of the needle plate, and a chain tooth channel groove corresponding to the channel opening and used for the chain tooth to pass through is provided on the wedge-shaped block, and the longitudinal width of the channel opening and the chain tooth channel groove are both smaller than the longitudinal width of the accommodating groove.
