Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of embroidery machines, in particular to a modular embroidery machine. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology, computer embroidery machines have become the main mechanical equipment in the embroidery industry. The head of the embroidery machine is an important structure of the embroidery machine. In the existing embroidery machine structure, a main shaft passes through all the heads to provide power for the needle bar drive and presser foot drive on each head. With the increase in market demand, the number of heads on embroidery machines continues to increase, so the rigidity requirements for the main shaft are also getting higher and higher. In the existing embroidery machine structure, due to the setting of the main shaft passing through the head, the size of the main shaft is limited, and the strength of the main shaft cannot meet the driving requirements of the embroidery machine well. If the strength of the main shaft is improved by increasing the outer diameter of the main shaft, in order to reserve enough installation space, the outer dimensions of the head also need to be increased accordingly, and the size of the embroidery machine will also increase accordingly, which is not conducive to controlling production costs. In addition, when the main shaft is deformed or broken and needs to be replaced, the needle bar drive mechanism and presser foot drive mechanism on all heads need to be detached from the main shaft, which makes maintenance more complicated. Summary of the invention

The transmission protrusion and the transmission groove are respectively arranged at the ends of two adjacent needle bar driving shafts, and the transmission protrusion is stuck in the transmission groove.

[0011] Preferably, the modular embroidery machine also includes a lower shaft and a transmission box. The lower shaft is horizontally placed at the bottom of the head module. An inter-axial transmission structure located between the main shaft and the lower shaft is provided in the transmission box.

[0015] 1. The modular embroidery machine provided by the present invention has a main shaft located outside each head module, and a split-drive transmission mechanism is arranged between the main shaft and the needle bar drive shaft of the head module.

Since the main shaft is arranged outside the head module, its own strength can be improved by increasing the outer diameter of the main shaft, which better meets the structural requirements of the embroidery machine, and the change in the outer diameter of the main shaft will not affect the external dimensions of the head and the internal installation space of the head.

[0018] 4. A transmission matching structure in which a transmission protrusion and a transmission groove engage with each other is arranged between the two needle bar drive shafts on two adjacent heads in the same head module. The main shaft drives a needle bar drive shaft in the same head module through the split-drive transmission mechanism. The needle bar drive shaft drives other needle bar drive shafts in the same group of head modules to rotate synchronously through the transmission matching structure. The matching structure between two adjacent needle bar drive shafts is reasonably arranged to facilitate the reasonable simplification of the split-drive transmission mechanism.

[0019] 5. The main shaft drives the lower shaft to rotate through the inter-shaft transmission structure in the transmission box. The lower shaft is used to drive the relevant components in the shuttle box to work. The inter-shaft transmission structure preferably adopts a pulley transmission structure, which has a simple structure and can well meet the transmission requirements between the main shaft and the lower shaft.

At the same time, the needle bar drive shaft 210 drives the presser foot mechanism 500 to move up and down through the presser foot cam 240 and the presser foot transmission mechanism 600, so that the presser foot 520 can work with the needle bar to achieve the purpose of repeatedly pressing the upper thread.

[0055] When the embroidery cloth needs to be replaced, the presser foot mechanism 500 can be lifted upwards by the presser foot adjustment mechanism 700. After the replacement is completed, the presser foot mechanism 500 is moved down to the working position by the presser foot adjustment mechanism 700.

[0056] It is understandable that the specific number of the guide rod 310, needle bar driver 320, connecting rod structure 400 and needle bar cam 220 on each machine head is not limited to the above description and the drawings. If the transverse dimension of the machine head increases, the number of the guide rod 310 and the needle bar driver 320 can also be increased accordingly. For example, eight guide rods 310 and needle bar drivers 320 are arranged at equal intervals in the transverse direction. At this time, two needle bar cams 220 are sleeved on the needle bar drive shaft 210, and four connecting rod structures 400 are arranged. The large connecting rods 410 of the two connecting rod structures 400 on the left are sleeved on the needle bar cam 220 on the left, and the large connecting rods 410 of the two connecting rod structures 400 on the right are sleeved on the needle bar cam 220 on the right. The intermediate shaft 440 can be set to one, and the lower ends of the large connecting rods 410 of the four connecting rod structures 400 are all tightly holding the intermediate shaft 440. Of course, two intermediate shafts 440 may be arranged at intervals in the transverse direction, the left intermediate shaft 440 cooperates with the large connecting rods 410 of the two sets of connecting rod structures 400 on the left, and the right intermediate shaft 440 cooperates with the large connecting rods 410 of the two sets of connecting rod structures 400 on the right.

[0057] It can be understood that the number of presser feet 520 in the presser foot mechanism 500 is consistent with the number of needle bar drivers 320, that is, the presser feet and the needle bar drivers are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0058] It is understandable that another limiting plate may be used to replace the limiting protrusion 221 on the circumferential outer wall of the needle bar cam 220 to limit the large connecting rod 410 axially. In this case, the two limiting plates are respectively fixed on both sides of the axial direction of the needle bar cam 220.

[0059] It is understandable that the specific shapes of the transmission protrusion 211 and the transmission groove 212 are not limited to the "I" shape as described above and shown in the drawings, and can also be set to other reasonable shapes such as a "X" shape and a "M" shape.

[0060] It is understandable that the specific number of heads in each head module 820 is not limited to the two as described above and shown in the drawings, but may also be set to one, three or other reasonable numbers.

[0061] It is understandable that the specific structure of the nose is not limited to the above description and drawings, and other reasonable structures may also be adopted.

[0062] In addition to the above preferred embodiments, the present invention has other implementation modes. Those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications based on the present invention. As long as they do not depart from the spirit of the present invention, they should all fall within the scope defined in the claims of the present invention.
