[0040] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the scope of the present application.

The term "and / or" used in the specification of this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items.

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 10 The present application provides a flat-bed sewing machine 100, which is one of the indispensable equipment in the textile processing industry. As people have higher and higher requirements for clothing and textiles, cutting becomes more and more sophisticated, and the requirements for processing are also increasing, the requirements for the flat-bed sewing machine 100 are also getting higher and higher.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the lockstitch sewing machine 100 includes a housing assembly 10, a first feeding assembly 20 and a driving member 30. The first feeding assembly 20 and the driving member 30 are respectively installed on the housing assembly 10, and the driving member 30 can drive the first feeding assembly 20 to transport the material.

[0047] In this embodiment, the driving member 30 preferably adopts a stepping motor; of course, in other embodiments, the driving member 30 may also adopt other driving mechanisms such as a cam, which is not limited here.

[0048] Furthermore, the lockstitch sewing machine 100 also includes a needle plate assembly 40, a needle 60, and a presser foot assembly 50. The housing assembly 10 includes a machine head 11 and a base plate 12, which are interconnected. The needle 60 and the presser foot assembly 50 are both mounted on the machine head 11, and the needle plate assembly 40 is mounted on the base plate 12. The needle 60 is capable of reciprocating in a direction perpendicular to the fabric feed direction. The presser foot assembly 50 includes a presser foot 51 and a pressure rod 52, which are interconnected. The pressure rod 52 is capable of reciprocating in a direction perpendicular to the fabric feed direction. The presser foot 51 is connected to the end of the pressure rod 52 near the needle plate assembly 40 and is used to press the fabric on the needle plate 41.

[0049] It should be noted that when sewing fabric, the fabric is placed on the needle plate assembly 40, and the first feeding assembly 20 transmits and feeds the fabric placed on the needle plate assembly 40. The needle 60 reciprocates in a direction perpendicular to the base plate 12 to complete the movement process of piercing the fabric and leaving the fabric. The needle 60 is connected to a sewing thread to complete the sewing of the fabric; the presser foot 51 presses on the fabric to provide a continuous pressing force on the fabric, so that the fabric is ensured not to deviate during the process of the first feeding assembly 20 feeding the fabric placed on the needle plate assembly 40, making the stitches more neat and beautiful.

[0050] In addition, the reason why a pressure rod 52 capable of reciprocating in a direction perpendicular to the base plate 12 is connected to the end of the presser foot 51 away from the base plate 12 is to facilitate adjustment of the distance between the presser foot 51 and the needle plate assembly 40. Because different fabrics have different thicknesses, it is necessary to adjust the height of the presser foot 51 according to the thickness of different fabrics to avoid the presser foot 51 being pressed tightly on the fabric, causing the fabric to be unable to be fed normally; or to avoid the presser foot 51 having no pressure on the fabric, causing the fabric to deflect.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the first feeding assembly 20 includes a driving pulley 21, a conveyor belt 23 and a driven pulley 22. The driven pulley 22 is rotatably mounted on the housing assembly 10, the driving pulley 21 is mounted on the driving member 30, and the conveyor belt 23 is sleeved on the driving pulley 21 and the driven pulley 22 and is used to convey materials.

[0052] Specifically, there are at least two driven pulleys 22, and the two driven pulleys 22 are arranged at intervals and located on the same horizontal plane; the conveyor belt 23 is sleeved on the driving pulley 21 and at least two driven pulleys 22, and the part of the conveyor belt 23 located between the at least two driven pulleys 22 is used for material transmission.

[0053] It should be noted that currently, lockstitch sewing machines typically use a tooth frame to drive the feed dogs. Due to the small surface area of ​​the feed dog tips, this can often cause damage to the fabric during feeding. This is especially true when sewing medium-thick fabrics, as the increased pressure from the presser foot increases the pressure on the feed dogs, further damaging the fabric during feeding. Furthermore, when feeding extremely thin fabrics, the current feed dog feeding method can cause poor feeding and slippage.

[0054] In response to the above existing problems, the flat sewing machine 100 provided in the present application ensures the smoothness of the feeding process by setting the two driven pulleys 22 at intervals and on the same horizontal plane. As a result, when the fabric is extremely thin, the friction between the conveyor belt 23 and the fabric helps to feed the extremely thin fabric without causing damage to the fabric; when sewing medium and thick fabrics, it can also enhance the feeding force for thick fabrics, which helps to feed thick fabrics.

[0055] It is worth noting that the driven pulleys 22 include at least two, which means that the driven pulleys 22 may include two, three, four, five or even more. In this embodiment, the driven pulleys 22 include four, and the four driven pulleys 22 are all located on the same horizontal plane.

[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the lockstitch sewing machine further includes a second feeding assembly 80 , which is mounted on the housing assembly 10 , and the second feeding assembly 80 can roll and press against the fabric on the needle plate 41 .

[0057] Furthermore, the second feeding assembly 80 includes a transmission assembly 81 and a transmission wheel 82 that are connected to each other. The transmission assembly 81 can drive the transmission wheel 82 to roll and press the fabric on the needle plate 41. The transmission assembly 81 includes a main shaft 811, an eccentric wheel 812, an oscillating crank 813, a transmission shaft 814, and a connecting rod 816. The eccentric wheel 812 is rotatably connected to the main shaft 811, and the eccentric wheel 812 is fixed to the connecting rod 816. The connecting rod 816 is connected to one end of the oscillating crank 813. The end of the oscillating crank 813 away from the connecting rod 816 is rotatably connected to the transmission shaft 814. The end of the transmission shaft 814 away from the oscillating crank 813 is connected to the transmission wheel 82 via a driving rod 815.

[0058] It should be noted that the eccentric wheel 812 is rotatably connected to the main shaft 811 , and the external driving mechanism drives the main shaft 811 to rotate. As the main shaft 811 rotates, the eccentric wheel 812 can be driven to rotate eccentrically. The eccentric wheel 812 is fixed on the connecting rod 816, and the connecting rod 816 is connected to the swing crank 813 for rotation, and the swing crank 813 can rotate on the connecting rod 816. The swing crank 813 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 814. Due to the rotational movement of the eccentric wheel 812, the connecting rod 816 can be driven to rotate back and forth within a certain range. The reciprocating rotation of the connecting rod 816 drives the swing crank 813 to swing within a certain range, so that the swing crank 813 drives the transmission shaft 814 to perform periodic reciprocating rotation. The transmission shaft 814 is hinged to the driving rod 815, and the driving shaft 814 rotates back and forth, thereby driving the driving rod 815 to move. Since the end of the driving rod 815 away from the transmission shaft 814 is connected to the transmission wheel 82, the transmission wheel 82 is driven to rotate in a circle.

[0059] It is worth noting that the first feeding assembly 20 and the second feeding assembly 80 cooperate with each other to realize the upper and lower composite synchronous feeding of the flat sewing machine 100; the advantage is that the composite feeding has a large feeding force, and the second feeding assembly 80 is used for feeding. When the cloth turns, there is no traditional presser foot to press the cloth, and the second feeding assembly 80 is used for feeding. The contact area between the transmission wheel 82 and the cloth is small, which is conducive to the realization of the turning process. In particular, for the sewing of thick fabrics, the upper and lower composite feeding is more suitable.

[0060] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the needle plate assembly 40 includes a needle plate 41. The needle plate 41 is fixed to the base plate 12 and defines a transmission hole 411. A fixing bracket 42 is mounted within the transmission hole 411 and secured to the wall of the transmission hole 411. The driven pulley 22 is connected to the fixing bracket 42 via a fixing pin 43, allowing the driven pulley 22 to rotate about the fixing pin 43. The conveyor belt 23 is sleeved over the driven pulley 22 and extends from the transmission hole 411 to the needle plate 41 for material transport.

[0061] Furthermore, the needle plate assembly 40 also includes a push plate 44 and a connecting plate 45. The push plate 44 is located at one end of the opening side of the transmission hole 411, and the connecting plate 45 is overlapped between the needle plate 41 and the push plate 44. The connecting plate 45, the needle plate 41 and the push plate 44 are fixedly connected by fixing screws 451, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the needle plate 41.

[0062] Since the present application adopts the transmission feeding of the conveyor belt 23, the driving pulley 21 and the driven pulley 22 to replace the feeding method of the feed dog used in the existing flat-bed sewing machine, in this embodiment, the conveyor belt 23 will usually be loose during the reverse sewing, so that a gap will be generated between the conveyor belt 23 and the driving pulley 21 and the driven pulley 22, and even if a tensioning wheel is used for tensioning, the gap between the conveyor belt 23 and the driving pulley 21 and the driven pulley 22 cannot be completely eliminated.

[0063] like Figure 8 As shown, in order to solve the problem of uneven stitches caused by the gap between the conveyor belt 23 and the driving pulley 21 and the driven pulley 22. The present application also provides a lockstitch sewing machine control method, which is used to control the above-mentioned lockstitch sewing machine 100 to perform corresponding actions. Specifically, the method includes the following steps:

[0064] S1: When the operating state of the lockstitch sewing machine is any one of starting the first stitch, backstitching the first stitch, stopping midway and restarting the first stitch, or sudden change of stitch length, adjusting the rotation speed of the driving member 30.

[0065] It should be noted that the gap between the conveyor belt 23 and the driving pulley 21 and the driven pulley 22 always exists, but when the first stitch is started or the first stitch is reversed or the sewing is stopped midway and the first stitch is restarted or the stitch length suddenly changes, the gap between the conveyor belt 23 and the driving pulley 21 and the driven pulley 22 will affect the stitch length. At this time, it is first necessary to tension the conveyor belt 23 and the driving pulley 21 and the driven pulley 22 through the tensioning wheel assembly 70, which can adjust the gap between the conveyor belt 23 and the driving pulley 21 and the driven pulley 22 to a certain extent. However, there is still a gap between the conveyor belt 23 and the driving pulley 21 and the driven pulley 22, so it needs to be controlled automatically in real time through electronic control.

[0066] like Figure 9 As shown, in step S1, in order to more accurately and automatically control the needle distance in real time through electronic control, the control method includes the following steps:

[0067] S11: Presetting stitch length compensation parameters according to the gap between the conveyor belt 23 and the driving pulley 21 and / or the gap between the conveyor belt 23 and the driven pulley 22;

[0068] S12: adjusting the rotation speed of the driving member 30 according to the preset stitch length compensation parameter.

[0069] It should be noted that, since the gap between the conveyor belt 23 and the active pulley 21 and the driven pulley 22 will not be the same every time in any of the states of starting the first stitch or reverse stitching or stopping midway to restart the first stitch or stitch length mutation, it is necessary to preset the stitch length compensation parameter according to the actual gap between the conveyor belt 23 and the active pulley 21 and / or the actual gap between the conveyor belt 23 and the driven pulley 22, and then use the system to determine whether the current operating state of the flat sewing machine 100 is any of the states of starting the first stitch or reverse stitching or stopping midway to restart the first stitch or stitch length mutation. If in this state, the speed of the driving member 30 is adjusted in real time according to the preset stitch length compensation parameter; for example, when a gap is generated between the conveyor belt 23 and the active pulley 21 and the driven pulley 22, the transmission speed of the conveyor belt 23 will slow down, and the stitch length will become smaller at this time. Then, the stitch length needs to be compensated at this time, and the speed of the driving member 30 needs to be increased to compensate for the smaller stitch length, so that the stitch length returns to normal.

[0070] like Figure 10 As shown, if the system determines that the machine is not in any of the states of starting the first stitch, backstitching the first stitch, stopping the machine midway to restart the first stitch, or sudden change of the stitch length, the rotation speed of the driving member 30 is adjusted according to the normal forward sewing state of the lockstitch sewing machine 100. The control method includes the following steps:

[0071] S2: preset needle distance parameters;

[0072] S3: adjusting the rotation speed of the driving member 30 according to the needle distance parameter;

[0073] S4: Obtain the positional relationship between the needle 60 and the material on the conveyor belt 23 and make a judgment;

[0074] S5: If the needle 60 is before piercing the fabric, the driving member 30 is controlled to continue running according to the needle distance parameter to maintain the material conveyance;

[0075] S6: If the needle 60 is between piercing the fabric and rising away from the fabric, the driving member 30 is controlled to stop running to stop the conveyance of the material;

[0076] S7: If the needle 60 is in the process of rising and leaving the material, the driving member 30 is controlled to restart according to the needle distance parameter to allow the material to continue to be conveyed, thereby realizing intermittent feeding of the flat-bed sewing machine 100.

[0077] The flat-bed sewing machine control method provided in the present application adopts the flat-bed sewing machine control method, so that the rotation speed of the driving part 30 is adjusted accordingly in any one of the states of starting the first stitch or the backstitch or the first stitch of the sewing is restarted after stopping halfway or the stitch length mutation state, so that the adjusted stitch length will also change. The changed stitch length is just used to compensate for the problem of unstable stitch length in any one of the states of starting the first stitch or the backstitch or the first stitch of the sewing is restarted after stopping halfway or the stitch length mutation state caused by insufficient tension of the conveyor belt 23.

[0078] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0079] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection for the present application shall be determined by the appended claims.
